|What's Moss Rose Like?
one side is the Silk FM 'Main' Stand. This stand
is covered and has a raised seating area, which means
that spectators have to ascend a small staircase to
enter it. It has windshields to either side and runs for
about a third of the length of the pitch, straddling the
half way line. This
type of stand, is a classic design,
once common across the country, but many have since
disappeared with re-development. Although it is old looking it was in fact
opened in 1968. It is though unusual to see such a
stand that doesn't have any supporting pillars running
across the front of it. It has portions of
terracing to each side and at its front. The team
dugouts are also located on this side.
On the other side is the covered, single tiered Henshaw's Stand, which was opened in March 2001. This smart looking all seated stand with a hospitality area to its rear, has greatly improved the overall look of the ground. The Macclesfield Audi Stand (Star Lane End) is a relatively new covered stand, that is a strange mix of seating and terracing. Strange and unusual in having a terrace area behind the seating area. Apparently seating was added to the terrace in this way, so that the Club could fulfil the then Football League's rules concerning the number of seats that a Club ground needed to be admitted into the Football League. Opposite is the open John Askey Terrace (named after a former player and manager), which is given to away supporters. In one corner of the ground there is a basic looking electric scoreboard which sits on top of the Police Control Box, next to the Macclesfield Audi Stand. The ground also a set of unusual looking floodlights.
The Club had hoped to move to a new stadium as part of a wider project to regenerate Macclesfield Town Centre which had been backed by Cheshire East Council. These regeneration plans had included the provision of a new 7,000 capacity stadium, situated south of the town centre, just a mile away from Moss Rose. However, the scheme has lost momentum and objections raised as to whether the Council should be spending money on a stadium, so unless the Club can find the necessary financial backing, then it looks like they will be staying at Moss Rose for a while yet.
|Silk FM Main Stand
|What Is It Like For Visiting Supporters?
Away fans are primarily
located in the open John Askey Terrace, where up to
1,500 fans can be accommodated. Additionally, 403
seats are made available in the Henshaw's
Stand, which sits at one side of
the pitch. The seating may well be a better
bet, as this stand is covered and the facilities new. Entrance to both areas is by ticket
only, cash is not accepted at the turnstiles.
Please note that for
certain games, only the seating area will be made
available to away fans. The Club are partly making
this decision on the projected number of traveling
fans and whether the visiting club has only seats
available (and no terracing) at their own ground.
|Where To Drink?
The ground is located on the outskirts of Macclesfield and therefore there is not a tremendous choice of pubs or even a handy chippy. Adam Hodson a visiting Stockport County fan informs me; 'At the stadium itself, there is the Keith Alexander Bar which admits both home and away supporters. It is located in the Henshaw's Stand next door to the Sammy Macllroy suite Apart from alcoholic drinks, hot food is on offer too'. Jonathan Woodard a visiting Brentford fan adds; 'The bar is free to get in and prices are reasonable and perhaps best of all you get a great view of the pitch so you can watch the teams warming up an hour before the game!'
The closest pub is the
Golden Lion, which is just under a ten minute
walk from the away turnstiles. I found the pub warm
and friendly and I my last visit there was a 50-50 mix
of home and away supporters. It serves real ale and on
matchdays they offer Pie & Chips, plus a pint for
£5, which can't be bad! The pub also offers free
parking for coaches and mini buses if arranged in
advance (Tel: 01625 423763). To find the Golden Lion,
simply head down Moss Lane, which goes behind the away
terrace, and then turn left at the corner of the
ground and walk down behind the new stand. Keep
straight on this road and you will come to the pub on
the left.
If away fans are seated in the Henshaw's
Stand then alcohol is available inside the ground in
the form of Budweiser (£3) and Magners (£2.80).
|How To Get There By Car & Where To Park
From the South:
|By Train
Knights informs me; 'Macclesfield railway station is
about one and a quarter miles from the Moss Rose ground,
about a 20 minute walk away.
As you leave the station, at the bottom of the station
approach, turn left onto Sunderland Street and follow
until the traffic lights at Park Green (War memorial and
gardens). Turn left onto Mill Lane (it is probably
better to cross onto the opposite side of the road here
at the traffic lights) and follow this road which
becomes London Road. Just after passing the Catholic
Church on the right the ground comes into sight ahead.
Chris Dale adds; 'You can also catch a bus up to the ground from the new bus station in the town centre.
To reach the bus station from Macclesfield railway station, cross the main road outside the station using the pedestrian crossing, turn right and then turn left by the car showroom into Waters Green and follow this road up the hill (Queen Victoria Street) to the bus station on the left. Buses returning from the ground stop on the main road outside the railway station.

Stroke disease
From Ganfyd
Stroke disease - a neurological deficit of presumed vascular origin lasting more than 24 hrs. In practice, stroke disease is a manifestation of many pathological processes giving a similar clinical picture[1].
Stroke is a major cause of death (about 9% worldwide) and morbidity. Efforts should be focused on stroke prevention through blood pressure control, smoking cessation, reduction of cholesterol, anti-coagulation for atrial fibrillation, anti-platelet agents and surgery for selected patients. To date attributable factors for stroke disease explain only 60% of presentations, a much lower explanation rate than we have for ischaemic heart disease.
There are two main types which can be differentiated by CT scanning.
- Infarction 80% (a strong argument has been made that the new gold standard for this is the characteristic changes on diffusion weighted MRI of cerebral ischaemia[2])
- Thrombosis
- Embolism
- Vasospasm eg seconday to SAH from anterior communicating artery aneurysmal bleed
- Haemorrhage 20%
Clinically can present from collapse to clinically silent (a fair proportion of strokes occur when patient is asleep).
- Hemiparesis
- Dysphasia
- Dysarthria
- Ataxia
- Nausea
- Vomiting
Infarction vs Haemorrhage
- Headache equally likely with both
- Need CT scan to differentiate
- Coma and prognosis tend to be worse with haemorrhage
- Haemorrhage is more common in some Asian populations, in Japan, the ratios are ischaemic stroke 61 %, ICH 25 % and SAH 11 %[3].
For cerebral infarction, the Bamford Classification of infarcts is used, and can be useful for communication of stroke type and in terms of prognosis as below:
Clinical presentation TACS/PACS/TIA in anterior circulation
Total anterior circulation stroke (TACS)
A large stroke anterior/middle cerebral artery
- New cortical dysfunction eg dysphasia and
- New sensory/motor deficit 2/3 areas face/hand/leg and
- Homonymous hemianopia
Could be associated with:
- Amarosis fugax (blindness in one eye) if embolic/thrombotic
Partial anterior circulation stroke (PACS)
A smaller cortical stroke with either 2 out of 3 components of TACS or
- New higher cerebral dysfunction or
- Motor and sensory disturbance less than TACS
|Clinical presentation of POCS/TIA in posterior circulation
Swelling of brainstem can lead to obstructed exit of CSF from IVth ventricle and thus hydrocephalus. Monitor and CT scan/refer if possible
Posterior circulation stroke (POCS)
- Ipsilateral cranial nerve palsies with contralateral motor/sensory deficit or
- Bilateral motor/sensory deficit
- Disorder of conjugate eye movements
- Cerebellar dysfunction without ipsilateral long tract signs
- Isolated homonymous field defect
Lacunar stroke (LACS)
Small vessel subcortical stroke
- Pure motor
- Pure Sensory
- Sensorimotor
- Ataxic hemiparsesis
Transient ischaemic attack
- a neurological deficit of presumed vascular origin lasting less than 24 hrs
- Usually embolic in nature
- Classically last 20 minutes
- Is a major risk factor for impending stroke
Pathophysiology of stroke
- Ischaemic core of dead cells surrounded by penumbra of potentially viable cells.
- Ischaemia leads to loss of cell membrane function. Glutamate release leads to influx of calcium ions.
- Local loss of cerebral autoregulation with increased flow around the peripheries of the infarct.
- Cerebral oedema develops and is manifest by loss of sulci on CT and decreasing GCS. Cheyne stokes respirations. Brainstem herniation and raised ICP.
Global hypoperfusion
with infarction of watershed areas where circulations overlap. Seen in shock/hypotensive states
- Cardiogenic shock
- Hypotension
Vessel occlusion
- Thrombosis-in-situ
- Embolism
Thrombus formation in situ
- Plaque rupture and thrombosis
- Vasculitis
- Cervical artery dissection
Embolism from the heart
- Left Atrial clot secondary to Atrial fibrillation
- Left ventricular mural thrombus due to Myocardial infarction
- Rheumatic calcific valve
- Endocarditis
- Clot on prosthetic valve
- Mitral valve prolapse
- Paradoxical embolism from PFO and right heart
- Atrial myxoma
Embolism from the carotid
- Ipsilateral carotid - Carotid plaque
Other classifications
- Small vessel
- Large vessel
- Cardio-embolic
- Amyloid arteriopathy
Risk Factors for stroke
- Transient ischaemic attacks
- Age
- Hypertension
- Cardiovascular disease
- Atrial fibrillation
- Raised Cholesterol although the actual association is with apolipoprotein ratios
- Diabetes mellitus
- Smoking
- Abdominal obesity
- Lack of exercise
- Poor diet
- Others include high alcohol intake (haemorrhagic stroke), stress, depression
- Blood pressure control
- Stop smoking
- Anticoagulation
- Warfarin for those with AF as per NICE Stroke risk stratification algorithm
Carotid endarterectomy for those with Carotid territory TIA/Stroke and ipsilateral Carotid stenosis > 70%
Blood tests
- FBC ? polycythaemia, platelets
- ESR ? temporal arteritis / vasculitis
- Glucose and HbA1C including in non diabetics
- Cholesterol
- Prothrombin time
- Partial Thromboplastin time
See main article Imaging in stroke
- CT scan
- MRI scan
Additional Investigations
- Serology for syphilis
- Triglycerides
- Lipoproteins
- Antiphospholipid antibodies
- Thrombophilia screen
- Echocardiography to look for a suspected embolic source or the source of a Paradoxical embolus
- Carotid doppler in embolic anterior circulation stroke in patient acceptable for carotid endarterectomy
- Magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) to study the extracranial vessels – carotid and vertebral. MRI – more sensitive than CT scan in picking up Ischaemic damage and early haemorrhagic transformation. Useful in defining posterior fossa structures such as cerebellar and brainstem infarcts. Useful to define ambiguous lesions? Tumour
- Less than 3 hrs from onset (there is some evidence around the margins for benefit)
- Stable neurology
- CT scan excludes bleed
- Giving t-PA reduces disability but at an increase in bleeds
Relative contraindications
- Minor neurological deficit
- NIHSS > 22 National Institute of Health stroke scale
- Patient comatose
- Deficit rapidly improving
- Seizure at stroke onset
- Abnormal CT
- Prolonged PT/PTT
- Thrombocytopenia
- Recent surgery/MI/stroke
- Haemorrhage
In perspective
At least one health authority in England has suggested that most strokes can be cured by thrombolysis. This gives a very unrealistic picture to patients.
In all trials 3% to 15% of patients with stroke are eligible for or get thrombolysis. Some of these people may have had very mild symptoms that didn't warrant thrombolysis.
A reasonable statement from current evidence is NNT = 8 NNH = 16
The treatment is logical, but is at the stage of enthusiasm - much of the Stroke literature is very positive.
The time-limit on thrombolysis may be extended, to perhaps 4.5 hours, which increases the chance of patients attending within the specified time.
The results of treatment are variable.
An effort to educate or persuade the population to treat stroke as an urgent event needing direct attendance to hospital has been made in England, the results remain to be seen.
In ischaemic stroke:
- Aspirin usually 300 mg/day and then reduced to 75 mg/d is the most resource effective beneficial treatment and despite trends is not statistically inferior to the alternative proven antiplatelet strategies studied in randomised controlled trials with both arms having active therapy published up to 2008[4].
- Aspirin (50mg) and dipyridamole (200mg MR bd) is slightly superior to aspirin alone but has tendency to induce headache. It appears advantageous in heart failure[5].
- Clopidogrel may be given in those unable to take aspirin and is as effective as aspirin and dipyridamole and is better tolerated than the combination[6]. It is more costly.
- The combination of aspirin and clopidrogel is likely to be ineffective or harmful in stroke indications due to (intracranial) haemorrhage[7] .
Blood pressure control
- Even a minimal reduction (5-6 mmHg) in diastolic blood pressure has been shown in several trials to result in a significant (41%) reduction in subsequent stroke rate
- However in the acute stroke with loss of cerebral autoregulation BP control is kept to a minimum to maintain perfusion pressures especially in the setting of oedema and raised ICP.
- It is traditional not to lower the BP aggressively in the first 2 weeks after stroke because of concerns that a high BP may be a beneficial adaptive response for perfusion of the ischaemic penumbra, and also not to lower the BP aggressively before a critical carotid stenosis has been excluded.
- Warfarin for AF significant reduces stroke rate in primary prevention and secondary prevention after an ischaemic cerebrovascular event. Absolute benefit remains even though previous ischaemic stroke is known to increase bleeding risk by about 2.5 times (95% confidence interval: 1.3 to 4.8 times)[8].
- Dabigatran etexilate, rivaroxaban and apixaban are all clinically superior to warfarin in the populations studied, predominantly because they reduce the rate of haemorrhagic stroke[9]. However, if available, their use is likely to be dictated by both resource effectiveness issues and individual patient, drug and service characteristics. As can be seen from the figure some agents increase the rate of gastro-intestinal haemorrhage or myocardial infarction.
Stroke Units
- VTE prophylaxis
- Hydration
- TEDs
- Aspirin where indicated
- Treat depression which is common
Selected neurosurgical intervention is likely to be beneficial in posterior fossa intracranial haemorrhage. Surgical intervention with intracerebral haemorrhage is unlikely to be benefical[10]

Today in Egregious Discoveries About Humanity, a study has found that a big reason women rarely report sexual violence is because they view it as "normal." The study, which will be published in Gender & Society, reviewed forensic interviews with 100 kids who may have been sexually assaulted. The interviews were conducted by the Children's Advocacy Center, and the subjects' ages ranged from 3-17.
The research team found that young women and girls often saw objectification, sexual harassment and abuse to be a normal part of life. Male privilege and a sense of female powerlessness, it seems, was seen by many interviewees as typical. One 13-year-old interview subject justified the fact that boys tried to inappropriately touch her at school because "they do it to everyone." Keep reading »

California: Keep 2014 PPACA fee out of 2013 rates
By National Underwriter
National Underwriter
By Allison Bell
California health insurers that want to get a jump on paying their new federal health insurance premium "fees" in 2014 must do so without including the 2014 fee costs in 2013 premium rates.
Adam Cole, general counsel for the California Department of Insurance, gives that interpretation in a letter ruling issued to a health insurer that was not identified.
The insurer asked the California department's health actuarial office whether health insurers can take the cost of the new Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 (PPACA) premium fee system into account when setting 2013 rates.
The PPACA premium fee, created by PPACA Section 9010, is set to cost health insurers $8 billion in 2014 and more than $100 billion over the next 10 years, according to America's Health Insurance Plans (AHIP).
PPACA also requires health insurers to pay a "transitional reinsurance fee" to help cover the cost of running a 3-year reinsurance program that is supposed to protect insurers against swings in claims risk that take place as a result of PPACA, Cole wrote in a discussion of his ruling.
A California insurer cannot use 2013 rates to pay the 2014 PPACA fees, because making customers fund the 2014 fees in 2013 "forces them to pay a charge that bears no relationship to the insurance they are being sold," Cole wrote. "Such an assessment would be impermissible."
Even the amount of fees a California health insurer will have to pay in 2014 is unknown at this time, Cole said.
Including 2014 fees in 2013 rates also would make the 2013 rates "unreasonable," in part because some customers who pay premiums in 2013 might not be covered by the same insurer in 2014, Cole said.
"To impose a fee on a person who is not a customer when the fee is due is unreasonable," Cole said.
In addition, if an insurer charged customers for the 2014 risk management programs today, the customers would be paying for programs that were not in place at the time that the rates were in effect, Cole said.
California law and PPACA let the California department declare that a proposed rate increase is "unreasonable" but does not let the department block an increase.
California Insurance Commissioner Dave Jones declared today, for example, that the department believes an increase that WellPoint (NYSE:WLP) wants to impose on small businesses in the state is unreasonable because, officials said, WellPoint overstated its costs and improperly included fees related to PPACA in its rates.
Officials did not say whether Anthem Blue Cross, the WellPoint unit in California, was the insurer addressed in Cole's letter ruling.

The objective of this article is to provide you with a list of best practices for managing the application access enhancements for Windows Azure Active
Some software as a service (SaaS) applications may attempt to contact end users who have been provisioned into the application via email.
For example, Box.com requires that each email address be validated.
If you are integrating with a SaaS application which sends emails directly to users, then you will need to ensure that the user's User Principal Name corresponds to a routable email address.
One way this can be done is by validating a domain, assigning user's UPNs to that domain, and subscribing users to an Office365 plan which includes an Exchange Online mailbox.
Another way to ensure users have mailboxes is by using DirSync to synchronize users into Windows Azure Active Directory from an Windows Server Active Directory, where users already have mailboxes (such as with an on-premises Exchange server) and their UPNs
correspond to their email addresses.
↑ Back to top
If you will be provisioning users into a SaaS application, it is necessary to ensure that user's UPNs correspond to their email addresses.
If users have existing accounts in the SaaS application, then their accounts' email addresses wil be updated as part of the user provisioning process.
When integrating Windows Azure Active Directory with Google Apps for user provisioning, a target domain name is needed that has been validated in the Google Apps environment as well.
For instructions, see
Adding custom domains in
Tutorial: Windows Azure AD integration with Google Apps.
In addition to this, you also need to enable API access in your Google Apps tenant.
For instructions, see
Enabling Google Apps API Access in
Tutorial: Windows Azure AD integration with Google Apps.
The User Principal Names of users who will be provisioned to Google Apps must correspond to this domain name, otherwise their accounts will not be provisioned to Google Apps.
Internet Explorer 9 and Chrome do not appear to be affected.
When configuring identity provisioning with password SSO some applications may require the user to change their password on first logon.
In these cases, the user has to store the updated password in the access panel by selecting the "update credentials" option under the wrench on the application tile.
If you want to delete and re-add an application, you need to refresh the current page after the deletion.
The page refresh is necessary to bring the deleted application back into the list of applications you can add.
There is a known issue with password-based single sign-on for several Atlassian applications where the Azure AD Access Panel redirects users to
during sign-in, which does not actually sign users into the selected applications. Applications affected include JIRA, JIRA OnDemand, FishEye, Crucible, and Confluence. These applications have been temporarily removed from the Azure AD application gallery
for new users while this issue is being addressed.
Would be nice for the Azure DB-SSO tutorial could link to this article to mention the broken link in Azure for downloading the SSL certificate: technet.microsoft.com/.../dn308593(v=azure.100).aspx
However, the SF SSL certificate that can be downloaded from this alternative location is not accepted by SF.com! When uploading it, it says "Certificate file no content (Related field: Identity Provider Certificate)" - though this certificate can be opened in Windows and does not appear corrupt (presumably, it is in the wrong format, or is missing some value SF.com is looking for). The other certificate that can be downloaded (for all apps other than SF.com) is at least accepted by SF.com, though does not seem to work for SSO. Also, the SF.com screens have changed a bit since this tutorial - I am assuming the Entity ID that is an mandatory field in SF SSO settings now but was not there before should be https://saml.salesforce.com
It would be really nice if the instructions could be updated so that it is possible to configure Azure AD - SF.com SSO properly by following technet.microsoft.com/.../dn308593(v=azure.100).aspx
I know this is currently in preview, but is it actually currently working with SF.com for SSO?
Hackster, where is this tutorial? Can you go provide your feedback on the Library topic?
Hi Ed - the link to the Azure-SF.com integration tutorial is in my first comment. Unfortunately, that page does not allow me to leave any comments, so I had to leave it here, otherwise I would have tried to make the link.
It would really be helpful for that page to make reference to the fact that the download link to the certificate is broken. The link on this page works, but the certificate is not accepted by SF.com. If you download that, then open it and export it, it can be made to be accepted by SF.com. Finally, the tutorial is out of date, the SF.com SSO SAML screenshots have changed, and there are some additional mandatory fields in the SF.com SAML SSO page.
It would be great if the tutorial could be updated to reflect all of these issues. Can you help the relevant person review it, or at least, post this comment to help others getting stuck following the instructions?

One great source for bullish stock ideas come from analyst ratings. When analysts write a report on a company, and if the analyst is reputable, it can have a big effect on the stock price. [More lists: 4 Stocks with Short Covering, Insider & Hedge Fund Buying]
With this in mind we ran a screen for stocks with current "Buy" ratings from Argus Research Company, an independent equity research firm (i.e. analysts at Argus expect these stocks to outperform).
Building the List
We started with a list of buy rated stocks from Argus Research Company. All stocks have had their rating renewed within the year.
Why? Analysts typically focus on a specific industry and produce regular reports containing predictions on commodity prices and expected performance for a stock. But be warned, every report produced by a sell-side analyst is called a "blanket recommendation" because they do not take into account the wants and needs of every individual. Investors must therefore determine if they are applicable to their own portfolio.
Interactive chart: Compare AVERAGE analyst rating for the stocks listed below. Press play to see how these ratings have changed over the past two years. Click through to access more free tools and data.
From there we screened for those with bullish sentiment from institutional investors, with significant net institutional purchases over the last quarter representing at least 5% of share float.
Why? This indicates that institutional investors ( banks, insurance companies, hedge funds, etc.) expect these names to outperform into the future. Their market power is considerable, not least because when they move large quantities of cash into and out of stocks it influences decisions made by other investors.
Main Street investors often try to mimic these large intuitional traders knowing that a professional with access to sophisticated market analysis would not sink several millions into a stock without some due diligence.
The List:
Combining buy ratings and institutional buying we were left with 5 stocks. Do you think these names are solid stock picks? Use this as a starting point for your own analysis.1. American International Group, Inc. ( AIG): The company operates property and casualty insurance networks worldwide and conducts activities in the U.S. life insurance and retirement services industry. Market cap at $55.8B, most recent closing price at $37.80. On 12/05/2012, Argus had a Buy rating on the stock. Net institutional purchases in the current quarter at 222.5M shares, which represents about 17.94% of the company's float of 1.24B shares.
2. Cracker Barrel Old Country Store, Inc. ( CBRL): Engages in the operation and development of the Cracker Barrel Old Country Store restaurant and retail concept in the United States. Market cap at $1.89B, most recent closing price at $79.36. On 05/25/2012, Argus had a Buy rating on the stock. Net institutional purchases in the current quarter at 1.3M shares, which represents about 7.% of the company's float of 18.57M shares.
3. Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. ( KKR): A private equity and venture capital firm specializing in acquisitions, leveraged buyouts, management buyouts, and mezzanine investments in large cap companies. Market cap at $3.96B, most recent closing price at $18.94. On 06/12/2012, Argus had a Buy rating on the stock. Net institutional purchases in the current quarter at 17.5M shares, which represents about 7.45% of the company's float of 234.79M shares.
4. Transocean Ltd. ( RIG): Provides offshore contract drilling services for oil and gas wells worldwide. Market cap at $16.53B, most recent closing price at $51.80. On 11/08/2012, Argus had a Buy rating on the stock. Net institutional purchases in the current quarter at 24.3M shares, which represents about 7.49% of the company's float of 324.63M shares.
5. Zimmer Holdings, Inc. ( ZMH): Engages in the design, development, manufacture, and marketing of orthopaedic reconstructive implants, spinal and trauma devices, dental implants, and related surgical products. Market cap at $12.26B, most recent closing price at $72.38. On 02/13/2013, Argus had a Buy rating on the stock.

The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools board has approved a real estate deal that will put 600-plus employees in the same corporate center, marking the apparent end to the system's policy of placing zone offices in the community.
At its Tuesday night meeting, the school board approved a deal that will give CMS 152,000 square feet in three buildings at the Atrium Corporate Center, on Stuart Andrew Boulevard. That is off Interstate 77 in south Charlotte.
Superintendent Heath Morrison said the move not only brings learning community office personnel in the same location, but it will enable CMS to reopen Oakhurst and Starmount schools. Both buildings now are used for learning community (formerly known as zone) offices and for other CMS divisions.
Mecklenburg County commissioners bought the Atrium property earlier this year, and CMS will acquire the site as part of the land-swap deal involving the former Education Center on Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard in uptown.
"One of our district goals is to provide stable, suitable office space for our administrative staff," Morrison said. "We also want to return Oakhurst and Starmount, which are presently being used as administrative space, to use as schools.
"The Atrium site would allow us to consolidate staff currently spread across four former schools and other buildings."
CMS said it will use the Atrium site for personnel from the seven learning community offices, along with accountability, finance and community partnerships, and family engagement. It also will house employees from human resources, learning and teaching, and technology.
Not affected will be CMS employees now working at the Government Center, the Smith Family Center, the development staff at Spaugh and the Auxiliary Services facility on Stafford Drive.
CMS launched its learning communities in 2007, placing zone superintendents and their staffs in offices scattered around the county. Then-Superintendent Peter Gorman said CMS wanted to bring administrators closer to parents and school staffs.
But budget cuts in recent years forced CMS to close most of those offices and move staff to former schools and other CMS-owned facilities.
CMS said it hopes to reopen the Oakhurst and Starmount sites to academic use in the 2015-16 school year.

text: @sapphire12- I agree, the performers especially seem to be more dedicated to fans than at bigger venues. One of the best acts I saw was at the Minnesota Renaissance Festival, a group called the Danger Committee. They do knife throwing and all sorts of crazy things. I've seen groups like them at other festivals I attended, like a renaissance fair in CA and some others, but I don't think I've seen anymore as good as them anywhere else.

If Banks ever reached the highest office in the land, she would dress the part. "I'd wear a V-neck shift and a two-inch heel. Even if the president were taller, I would keep them low. Otherwise it gets a little too sexy. I mean, I was a high-fashion model, but I was also a swimsuit model and a lingerie model, so I would constantly be making sure that I wasn't looking like that." As for hair, perhaps a Jackie/Michelle-style flip? "Nooo, my question isn't to flip or not to flip. Mine would be to weave or not to weave." What would be her Secret Service acronym? She pauses, smiles broadly, and replies, "KMFA: Kiss My Fat Ass."
A modern first lady, if she followed the Tyra prescription, would first smile. (Banks reportedly has a professional arsenal of 275.) "Oh, I want her to not take herself too seriously," she says. "She'd need to know how to take a fierce picture but at the same time be able to eat fried chicken, have grease on her fingers, and be okay with getting photographed like that, too. I'd want her to feel like every child in America is hers to have a true connection." Her expression turns serious, then she winks. "I would also want her to know how to beat her own face. That means do her own makeup. In the end, the first lady should be her man's rock and his boulder and his mountain. And she should be calling about 50 percent of the shots!"
Banks first met Barack Obama at Oprah Winfrey's Legends Ball in 2005. "My friend Kimora Lee Simmons and I were walking around the ball," she remembers. "We had on these big Cinderella dresses hardly anyone wore white tie, but we both did and then we see Senator Obama. He goes, 'Hi, ladies,' and I told him, 'I want to congratulate you on that speech. It was gorgeous.' At the time, there was just a hint of him running for president. But then Kimora starts talking crazy, just totally embarrassing me. She walks away, and I'm like, 'Senator Obama, I have to apologize for my friend. She's almost like family, I've known her since I was 17 years old, and with family, you love them but sometimes you want to say that you're not related to them.' And he said, 'What are you talking about? You don't think that I could be down and talk crazy like that? You think politicians are all stiff and can't relate? Come on, girl.'"

We are proud to annouce the Holiday release of the the NEW Franky 58mm. It has not been a secret that Franky has changed to riding anti-rocker over this year. So we decided that we are going to release him a 58mm which is his size of choice now. The graphic is a personification of Franky's life in many ways and was designed by him.
This wheel will also be the 2nd wheel released in our new compound. It truly shows the progression of the technology in polyurethane wheel manufacturing. This wheel is made of the HIGHEST quality and most cutting edge materials that are available. Our sport has never seen anything like them and the days of chunking, decoring, and flat spotting are over.
We have been testing the new wheel for about 4 months in every different condition and environment imaginable. Every single one of our testers have been on the same sets of wheels the whole time and can not believe what is under their skate. The result has all been the same. They say that they have never riden any wheel that is so fast, grippy, and durable. So we are introducing you to the last wheel you will ever want to ride. All wheels are GUARANTEED 100%.
The Wheels will be to us on Tuesday and will be in shops the following week. They are going to retail for $30 and guaranteed this will be the best wheel you have ever riden.
Personally, We can not wait for you guys to start riding them and to hear your feedback,
-Wally and Franky

The Five Best Ledes in Stories About Harry Reid's Proposal to Criminalize Prostitution
Does not care for hookers.
5. "U.S. Senator Harry Reid is attacking the world's oldest profession saying its time for Nevada to be known as the first place for innovation and investment and not as the last place in the U.S. where prostitution is legal." [CBS News]
4. "Harry Reid doesn't like hookers. But the Senate majority leader's statement to the Nevada legislature urging that prostitution be made illegal in his home state went over like a lead balloon." [Politics Daily]
3. "Nevada is famous for two things: gambling and prostitution. But if Senator Harry Reid has his way, the state's economy will soon have only one of those two pillars to stand on." [The Daily Mail]
2. "Apparently prostitution, a.k.a. the world's oldest profession, is a turn-off to folks trying to win the future." [The Atlantic]
1. "The most powerful man in the United States Senate, addressing the legislature of his home state at a time of fiscal chaos and potential government shutdown, had something he wanted to talk about Tuesday: hookers." [Politico]
Politico: so pleasurable it should also be criminalized.

While there, the group is partnering with the International Mission Board (IMB) as part of "The Cross at the Cup" ministry. Student volunteers from all over the U.S. will minister to indigenous people groups and orphanages, as well as those in Brazil for the FIFA World Cup June 12 - July 13.

The highly-anticipated film version of "Gone Girl" won't hit theaters until this fall, but it's already stirring up trouble.
The project, based on the Gillian Flynn novel of the same name, is set to star Ben Affleck, Rosamund Pike and a completely different ending than the book, based on the latest issue of "Entertainment Weekly."
For the cover story, Flynn tells "EW" about how she herself chose to rewrite the ending in her movie script.
"Ben [Affleck] was so shocked by it," she said (via CinemaBlend). "He would say, 'This is a whole new third act! She literally threw that third act out and started from scratch."
Flynn also talked about director David Fincher, who she always had in the back of her head to helm the adaptation.
"When I was writing 'Gone Girl' there were certain parts where I thought, 'David Fincher would really kill this scene. I thought he'd inject just the right sense of necessary malice," she added.
For the uninitiated, "Gone Girl" follows Nicke Dunne (Affleck), whose wife (Pike) goes missing on their anniversary.

Garth Brooks ending Las Vegas show
BY MIRIAM DI NUNZIO email@example.com October 3, 2012 1:00PM
Garth Brooks | GETTY IMAGES

Updated: October 3, 2012 6:06PM
Garth Brooks will bring down the curtain on his hugely popular show at the Encore Theater Wynn Las Vegas on Nov. 17.
Of the show, which was more a journey through the music that shaped his life rather than a concert, Brooks said in a prepared statement:
"I have thoroughly enjoyed my time at Wynn. Mr. [Steve] Wynn told me that the Wynn audiences were some of the best in the world and he was right!"
Brooks' shows were weekend-only affairs, and select weekends throughout the year, making tickets ($253) among the highest-priced and most sought-after on the Strip. Rumors about Brooks' return to full-out concert touring have been swirling for the past few years, with the singer dropping a few hints along the way about getting back to music full-time once his youngest daugther started college (that would be 2014).
The 50-year-old Brooks will be inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame on Oct. 21 in Nashville, Tenn.
Tickets for the final shows, Oct. 5-6, Oct. 26-27 and Nov. 16-17 are available at www.ticketmaster.com or by calling 1-877-65-GARTH. For more information visit www.wynnlasvegas.com.
