MCDONALD, Tenn. (WDEF) - Now that more than 200 dogs have been seized at puppy mill, neighbors who wished not to be identified say they complained a long time ago about the dogs.
The complaints were sent to animal control and those who filed those called to complain say nothing was ever done to hold the puppy mill owner accountable.
WDEF spoke to animal control director Gene Smith who acknowledges his department receiving complaints about the property on the 1400 block of Candies Creek Road.
"At that time she had 20 dogs and they were up to date on the rabies shots that state law requires and she was in compliance with that and there was no other violation at that time," Smith said.
But now she's accused of running an unhealthy puppy mill that housed more than 240 dogs. She even advertised it online but since the dogs were seized, the website was taken down.
The owner of the puppy mill refuses to talk to reporters and the SPCA of Bradley County has not been able to provide any additional information.
To add insult to injury, a five year-old law that tightly regulates puppy mills expires this month because the Tennessee Senate rejected extending the legislation.

With the English bid I said: Let us be brief. If you give back the Falkland Islands, which belong to us, you will get my vote. They then became sad and left
Hmm Root put Yorkshi*e ahead and then got out next ball.
Notts 3 down and still a good 50+ runs behind. Lots of okay batsmen left but none specifically that Durham should lose any sleep over. Just need to keep picking up wickets.
Edit: Fatel gone. Again wondering why Wood didn't play earlier. Might have been the difference in that disaster against Yorkshi*e.

Shame for root to get out when he did, he's missed out on all the average-padding being sent down atm.
"Your averages, captain, coaches and players can probably survive incompetence over a relatively short series, so if youre going to be rubbish, make sure its against Pakistan, Sri Lanka, New Zealand or someone."
I didn't even have a clue what Redfern bowled but apparently he has 7 First Class wickets now. I certainly missed those.

Ban the heavy roller. It was only Ravi and Ramps complaining last year. Ramps has retired and Ravi isn't scoring any runs this year either
It's such a myth that you can't bat in England in April/May
Notts have just lost their fifth, Mullaney gone ... phenomenal scoring at Headingley, 88 off the last 10 and more than 400 today - Bairstow could get 200 tonight at this rate ... 100 up for Essex ... Lancs hitting back with four wickets.
Anyone thinking of going to the game at the Oval on Monday btw?
Was going to go but have to go watch the bloody play-off semi final instead.

I think he'll be reasonably happy with 186 - he hit a 6 the ball before he got out, with only a few balls to go, so fair play to him. I would have thought Yorkshire would want a few more, 650 perhaps, before trying to put the Derby batting under pressure.
Napier what a beast. Still think he's unlucky not to have played limited overs for England.

STORRS, Conn. (AP) -- Retiring after three national titles in a 26-year career at Connecticut, Jim Calhoun is thanking everyone who helped him turn the Huskies into a basketball powerhouse.
The 70-year-old Hall of Famer spoke Thursday at a news conference to announce he is stepping down. The event is being held on the court in Storrs, where Calhoun racked up many of his 873 total wins.
In thanking administrators, players, fans and his family, the longtime coach says he feels blessed and is grateful that "you trusted us."
Calhoun will take a transition appointment through next spring as a special assistant to athletic director Warde Manuel. When he is fully retired, Calhoun will become head coach emeritus.
Calhoun has been slowed by health problems in recent years including a fractured hip last month.
Assistant coach Kevin Ollie, who played point guard for Calhoun from 1991-95, will be the Huskies' new coach. His contract runs through next April 4 and he will be paid $625,000.

Living in the Path of Drones

As the 2012 U.S.
election dust settles for President Barrack Obama, a global issue is knocking on the White House door. The continuing U.S. policy on drones—pilotless aircraft used for tactical bombing—is causing an escalated stir outside the chambers of the White House, as well as a reported debate within.
Used as part of an accelerated campaign against what the administration calls the nation's "threat threshold," the expansion of the U.S. drone program since January 2009, when Obama officially began his presidency, has caused human rights advocates worldwide to speak out about possible crimes against humanity by the U.S. government.
"Pakistani women, including me, all wish that not only our country but the world should become a peaceful place to live and our future generation should have a society with freedom and equal opportunity to learn and earn," said Islamabad based Pakistani human rights journalist and staff reporter at Pakistan Observer Sana Jamal. "As you know, human rights advocates worldwide do not condone bomb strikes that are killing innocents!"
The campaign to use unmanned planes for bombings is not a new idea. The history of experimentation with the use of radio-controlled aircraft began as early as 1917 picking up steam as the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory started to develop the drones further in 1935.
Just over six months ago the Obama administration went public outlining a military justification in the administration's use of drones to go after 'identified' insurgents.
"I know that for many people—in our government and across the country—the issue of targeted strikes raised profound moral questions," said John Brennan, White House counterterrorism adviser and deputy national security advisor for homeland security and counterterrorism, in an April 2012 presentation at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars in Washington, D.C. "It forces us to confront deeply held personal beliefs and our values as a nation. If anyone in government who works in this area tells you they haven't struggled with this, then they haven't spent much time thinking about it. I know I have, and I will continue to struggle with it as long as I remain involved in counterterrorism," he continued.
According to a recent New York Times report, Brennan is among those in the Obama administration who argue for restraint in drone use.
Human rights advocates, including scholars at Stanford Law School and NYU School of Law, say the bombings may be killing many more victims than United States officials are publicly acknowledging. The resulting trauma to civilians corrodes chances for future peace in the region.
"Drones are used to carry out extrajudicial executions...murder," said Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Jody Williams to WMC in a recent interview. They are also "illegal under the laws of war," she added. Williams received her 1997 Nobel Peace Prize after she was pivotal in the creation of the International Campaign to Ban Landmines.
"We have a lot of things to do," said Medea Benjamin, cofounder of CODEPINK - Women for Peace as she outlined the group's recent October campaign to stop the drone strikes in Pakistan. "We've been to an area where Pakistanis have not seen Americans for 10 years," added Benjamin describing families who live in the remote FATA - Federally Administered Tribal Areas of Waziristan, where drones have been reported to fly 24/7 over communities and homes.
The recent CODEPINK campaign brought 31 Americans and one Canadian to Pakistan as part of what CODEPINK calls a "humanitarian mission to meet with and help victims of drone strikes."

WASHINGTON (AP) — The top Republican on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee says Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton likely will testify before the panel on Jan. 22 about the assault in Libya that killed four Americans.
Sen. Bob Corker of Tennessee said in an interview Tuesday on MSNBC that Clinton probably will testify the morning of Jan. 22.
The State Department said the date hasn't been finalized and there was no official word from the committee.
Clinton had been scheduled to testify last month but fell during an illness, suffered a concussion and was hospitalized for a blood clot.
Clinton returned to work Monday. She had promised to appear before the Senate and House foreign affairs panels before stepping down from her job. Obama has nominated Sen. John Kerry to replace her.

Some city officials and parents want schools to stop serving meat on Mondays, saying it could be good for the environment, help kids get healthier and save the Department of Education a few bucks. NY1's Lindsey Christ filed the following report.
Pasta, veggie burgers, apples, oranges and salad. It's a typical Monday spread at the East Village Community School, all of which is vegetarian.
"It's kind of fun that we don't have any meat in our schools on that one day," said East Village Community School student Maizy Greenberg.
The three schools in the building are among the first in the city to adopt Meatless Mondays -- a public health initiative from the John Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.
The school is named, as one might guess, for the mayor who's been a major donor. The idea is to teach kids about healthy, plant-based food options.
Health officials say it's good for the kids' health and good for the planet, since industrial meat production may be one of the causes of climate change.
"There is a need for students to be healthy and parents know that and we have some very active parents who are interested as much as the staff, to provide good nutritional options for students," said East Village Community School principal Robin Williams.
"Teaches kids to be more careful what they eat and be more thoughtful and be more green," said East Village Community School student Alexia Siebers.
Parents whose children attend the school said it was easy to make the change.
"We looked at the menus and said why are these children eating meat everyday? It's really not healthy for them and it's not environmentally conscious to do this and we asked our school's food manager, who was there at our meeting, can we have meatless Mondays and they said yes," Children's Workshop School parent Elizabeth Puccini.
In Baltimore, Maryland, the whole public school system has gone meatless on Mondays -- something Manhattan Borough President Scott Stringer would like to see adopted in New York City.
"One out of five kindergartners in this city are overweight, meaning that already that starting out their lives they are classified as obese. And the reason is because their diet is leading them to an unhealthy lifestyle and we want to change that," Stringer said.
The DOE's office of school food said Monday it's reviewing the idea of starting each week without meat in every cafeteria in the city.
Meanwhile, parents at East Village Community School are urging individual schools to consider going vegetarian on Mondays.

The 3rd Annual Multicultural Youth Leadership Summit (MYLS) is a one-day conference that brings together students, educators, parents, community leaders, state government, and other organizations from across the state. The goal of the MYLS is to provide participants with an inspiring experience to stimulate educational success and help shape the leaders of tomorrow.
This year, we present Nicholas Carlisle as the keynote speaker. Mr. Carlisle, a graduate of Oxford University, is an attorney (with a focus on human rights), psychotherapist and Executive Director of No Bully. Having experienced firsthand the reality of bullying in high school, he is committed to creating schools where every child feels accepted by their peers. In addition to the keynote address, Mr. Carlisle will lead a breakout session for educators and parents on effective anti-bullying strategies.
No Bully is a San Francisco based non-profit organization that partners with schools nationwide to implement a non-punitive and highly effective solution to end bullying and harassment. Research studies show that teachers and staff trained in the No Bully System® succeed in stopping student bullying in at least 80% of cases. No Bully is helping schools transform into learning communities that are truly inclusive.
Ernesto Mejia, Vice President of CoolSpeak and the "rock star" of previous Summits, will provide a dynamic and engaging opening presentation that will no doubt be energized from beginning to end. His breakout sessions will include topics on: the power of youth, college readiness, leadership development, decision making, self esteem, diversity and communication skills. Ernesto, the proud son of immigrant parents, went form college dropout to Dean of Student Success.
Registration is FREE for students, educators, parents, community members, and volunteers. We will also be providing a light breakfast and lunch.

Satellites recently showed that Arctic ice is melting 50% faster than expected, and that sea ice levels are set to hit a record low. Now ice scientist Professor Peter Wadhams has revealed to BBC Newsnight that if the planet was to lose the Arctic ice then the impact would "effectively doubl[e] mankind's contribution to global warming".
Speaking to BBC Newsnight, Wadhams noted that ice reflects sunlight better than open water, ensuring that most of the heat goes back into space. Unfortunately, with the Arctic ice at its lowest levels, more heat is warming the planet than ever before. Wadhams noted that this increased absorption of the sun's rays is "the equivalent of about 20 years of additional CO2 being added by man".
Among the facts he cited included that in 1980, the Arctic ice in summer made up some 2% of the Earth's surface. Now it is just a quarter of what is was. In short, he noted that the Arctic ice cap is "heading for oblivion".
"The volume of ice in the summer is only a quarter of what it was 30 years ago and that's really the prelude to this final collapse," Prof Wadhams said to BBC News. "Parts of the Arctic Ocean are now as warm in summer as the North Sea is in winter."
At the rate the Arctic sea ice is disappearing, the UK Met Office says it expects the Arctic to be completely ice-free in summer by 2030.

Same as PP. I don't like DS 'watching' tv but need it on during the day just for the noise. I get antsy lol. I too catch him looking at it occasionally and try to keep him facing away. I would be frustrated if my efforts were thwarted by family. However, also as pp said, things were so different when we were kids. When my dad was baby sitting a couple weeks ago and I walked in to find DS napping face down on a fluffy blanket! I had a heart attack but my well meaning dad didn't understand what the problem was. I never thought of explaining everything to him because he raised my siblings and I, but things sure have changed since then!
My MIL is similar...she watches TV all day long, and I've seen her sit with DD facing it like they were "watching" it together. I am also trying to limit TV for DD, so I've made comments and she seems to respect my wishes - sorry your MIL isn't. That's rude.
And yes, things have definitely changed. Sure, we all turned out all right, but there were obviously a lot of people who didn't, or things that happened that caused things to change. There's a reason for the way things are now...that's what I try to tell our parents - whether or not they actually listen I don't know.
Is your MIL your caregiver during the day, or is this just an occasional thing? If she is your caregiver and you don't trust her to listen to your requests, then I think you need to get a new person to watch LO during the day. If this is one of those things where you were just visiting or whatever, I would personally turn the baby away from the TV and just sort of be generally annoyed at her laughing.
DS1 didn't watch TV till 2 (and honestly barely watches it at 3) and we'll do the same for DS2. I don't think it's unrealistic, honestly. Sure, during my ML I had the TV on but I never had the baby staring at it. Now we just don't even turn on the TV until after the kids go to bed except in rare instances.
My ILs were trying to get DD to watch TV then I showed them these articles:
Baby Einstein isn't educational
14 months old Babies who watch TV score LOWER on Developmental tests than those who don't
TV can stunt your child's development
They never laughed in my face, but they thought we were being pretentious. Now they get it.
I'm 50/50 with you guys on this. I don't like the idea of LO watching TV, so when she goes to her Great Grandma's house where she gets rocked all day in front of Game Show Network... I'm not too thrilled.
However - I know she loves the colors and the noise, so when we have the TV on for her, I like to make sure it's something "good". Our favorite is music videos, or disney movies. We sing and dance together with the music, and she has clear favorite songs and artists. I figure as long as we aren't setting her in the bumbo in front of the TV and walking away, it's fine. I'm not going to use the TV as a baby sitter, but I also don't want to let myself think I'm being a bad parent for having the TV on.
One thing she ISN'T getting is an iPad when she's 2. I don't want her to grow up needing to be constantly amused by electronics.

VillageReach has developed a model that efficiently scales critical and sustainable infrastructure services. Relieved of the burden of building and operating non-core activities, public and private health systems can devote their resources to the provision of healthcare.
The social business model focuses on three key infrastructure sectors: transport and logistics, communications and information technology, and energy supply. Significant gaps in these sectors, typical in many low-income countries, severely limit not only health system performance, but also prevent other elements of community and regional economies from functioning adequately to support their populations.
VillageReach evaluates these gaps to assess opportunities for new social businesses that can develop a broad customer base beyond the health system and lower the overall cost of service. The goal is to leave behind a legacy of successfully developed, profitable businesses that are market competitive and socially beneficial.
By leveraging existing program activities and resources, VillageReach's social business model addresses these requirements with low-cost access to capital, patient investment horizons and an ability to assume risk. With the health system serving as an anchor customer, a social business can expand its base of customers allowing it to reduce the overall cost of service and build a profitable, sustainable business. Services to the health system and the social benefits that flow from those services are protected through long-term contractual relationships and other methods.

great tour- very attentive and cool guides. the meetup was at row venice meeting point harbour away from all the tourist and water traffic. after a few minutes of instruction and going through the motions, you immediately hop into the boat and start rowing.
Reykjavik, Iceland
My Rating
this was SOOO worth it! my group was pretty small- just 6 of us and it was the perfect size. the hike was awesome- how often can people brag that they have hiked on a bloody glacier?! after hiking, we started ice climbing- again, how often can people brag that they have ice climbed?! if you are really into rock climbing, you will like ice climbing because the difficulty level skyrockets. you have to shimmy up a massive, almost vertical wall using two ice picks and the spikes on your boots.

Amino Acid HGH Releasers - the Pill and Powder Products
All the non-prescription human growth hormone supplements that are digested; the pills, capsules, tablets, and powders are called releasers. They may also be called secretagogues, enhancers, precursors, or stimulators. Such products are dietary supplements that are regulated by the FDA's food laws.
The main ingredients in the HGH releasers are amino acids, and some also contain vitamins and herbs such as ginseng.
The Ingredients Contained in HGH Releasers
As previously stated the main ingredients in the pill and powder products are amino acids.
Amino acids are nothing new, they are the building blocks of protein. Bodybuilders and athletes have been taking the exact same amino acids in dietary supplements for many years, long before there were any HGH products, and they still take those same amino acids daily.
We receive amino acids in food and in various health supplements and protein powders.
As previously stated, many of the releaser type products contain vitamins, especially the B vitamins. Other ingredients commonly found in these products are herbs such as ginseng.
We know the B vitamins and ginseng can provide benefits such as increased energy, so it may be that these ingredients are added to a product to make it appear to be more effective.
For instance, increased energy is one of the most popular benefits of increasing human growth hormone in the body, so if the person taking such a product has an increase in energy he may think that his HGH level is increasing, when in reality he is only experiencing the benefits of vitamins and/or ginseng.
More About the Amino Acids in HGH Pills and Powders
Some amino acids have been found to help stimulate the release of growth hormone, however, the amounts needed of each of the amino acids are so much that they cannot be placed in 1 or 2 pills or capsules and so HGH releasers do not contain the recommended amounts of the amino acids they contain.
For instance, the recommended daily amount of arginine to take is 2 -3 gm per day, that's 2000 -3000 mg per day.
High doses of arginine can cause stomach upset and people with herpes virus should not take it because it can aid the replication of the virus. Also, people who take NSAIDS should be careful when taking arginine.
The recommended amount of Glutamine is 1.5 to 6 gms per day (1500-6000 mg).
People who are sensitive to MSG (monosodium glutamate) should be careful when taking glutamine because the body converts it into glutamate. Those who take anti-seizure medications and those with liver or kidney problems should consult their doctor before taking glutamine.
Above I included information about only 2 of the amino acids that may affect HGH release along with more information you should want to know about. You should also seek information about the other amino acids and ingredients found in any pill or powder product you are considering.
The amino acids that may be used in releasers:
**Before buying any HGH product that is in either pill, tablet, capsule, or powder form find out how much of each ingredient the product contains. Most products do not contain the recommended amounts needed to successfully stimulate the pituitary gland to release growth hormone.
HGH Releaser Sprays
Due to the great popularity and effectiveness of homeopathic HGH sprays over the years, there are now some spray products that contain amino acids, vitamins, herbs, etc., in homeopathic amounts (example: Sytropin). These types of sprays contain no homeopathic human growth hormone (the only form of HGH contained in any non-injection product).
Those wishing to supplement their amino acid and vitamin intake may do so at their local health food store without purchasing an HGH pill or powder product that doesn't contain enough of the amino acids to do any good.
In my case, besides the foods I eat I receive amino acids from the protein powder I take daily and I also supplement my diet with glutamine for its GI benefits, but I would not depend upon amino acids alone for my human growth hormone therapy.
I have spoken to numerous people who have tried the amino acid releaser pills and of those who said they received benefits many said the benefits only lasted for 2-3 months and then faded away.
I believe optimum benefits are received by taking HGH Plus IGF-1 & IGF-2 while also ensuring the body has the needed building blocks, which are the vitamins, minerals, and amino acids the body needs to actually build the new healthy cells the growth factors of HGH will ask it to build.

Watch 'John Adams Part 7' on HBO on xfinityTV.com watch
In retirement, Adams starts writing his memoirs, then endures a series of tragedies when his daughter dies of cancer and, a few years later, Abigail succumbs to typhoid fever. At the urging of Dr. Rush, Adams reports the sad news to Jefferson, with the two old friends and adversaries taking solace in a correspondence that mends old wounds. watch
Halfway through the pilot episode of the Showtime series Masters of Sex, which is based on the story of real-life sex researchers Dr. William Masters and Virginia Johnson, Masters leaves his wife, Libby, in the care of another doctor as she undergoes infertility treatments so he can slip into a neighboring examination room and watch a prostitute masturbate... It's an amazingly rich six minutes of television that manages not only to set up most of the first season's major plotlines and underlying emotional tensions, but also to explain the story's historical import. In a strictly factual sense, it's also mostly made up.
Emmy winner Paul Giamatti is joining the cast of Downton Abbey, TVLine reports.
Giamatti will play Harold Levinson, the free-spirited playboy brother of Cora (Elizabeth McGovern) and uncle to Mary (Michelle Dockery) and Edith (Laura Carmichael). He'll be introduced in the Season 4 finale.
When it comes to acting, Laura Linney knows no fear. She has embodied everyone from steely First Lady Abigail Adams in HBO's John Adams to FDR's mousy cousin/lover in the recent biopic Hyde Park on Hudson. But with her Golden Globe-winning performance on The Big C, she took on a seemingly impossible feat: making cancer funny.
Now the show is being put to rest with a four-episode finale, but neither Linney nor her character, Cathy, is going down quietly. Tonight's episode finds her struggling with chemotherapy — she wants to stop treatment so she can feel well enough to take care of her family and make sure they'll be strong enough to survive without her.
Soon after the show's fourth season wrapped, the 49-year-old three-time Emmy winner shared her thoughts about the end of Cathy's journey.
Tom Hanks is developing a comedy about the lives of college athletes for HBO, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Titled Players, the half-hour series reunites Hanks and his long-time producing partner Gary Goetzman with the network, with which they made Big Love and the Emmy-winning miniseries John Adams, The Pacific and Band of Brothers.
HBO continues to dominate the Emmys, beating all other outlets this year with 19 total wins. But is the pay cable network's Emmy stranglehold on the wane?
HBO's tally was down from last year's 25 wins, and represented the channel's smallest Emmy haul since 2003 (when it won 18). And HBO won just four awards during the Primetime Emmys telecast on Sunday night, compared to eight on last year's broadcast. (It's been more than 15 years since HBO won so few during the telecast.)

This enhanced interrogation is brought to you by the letter I, as in Islamofascism.
The website of rock station KROQ reported on Monday that 'Songs of War,' a documentary newly produced by Arabic news agency Al Jazeera, claims that music from 'Sesame Street,' heavy metal, and rap were used to torture prisoners in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Guantánamo Bay:
According to the report, prisoners, shackled and held in private cells, were subjected to near-deafening music from Metallica, AC/DC, Marilyn Manson, Drowning Pool, Eminem, Bruce Springsteen and Rage Against The Machine in addition to popular children's classics from Sesame Street and Barney the purple dinosaur.
One can sympathize with the plight of someone exposed to Eminem, "played repetitively over many hours or even days," even if that "someone" had been brainwashed into believing that the murder of innocent civilians is justifiable so long as it ensures an eternity spent with 70 virgins. But according to The New York Times, terrorist kingpin Abu Zubaydah complained of being subjected to "deafening blasts of music by groups like Red Hot Chili Peppers." Anyone with an ear so tin that he can't appreciate the vocal stylings of Anthony Kiedis is probably beyond hope anyway.
KROQ quotes Moazzam Begg, a former Guantánamo Bay detainee now living in London, as saying, "The point is to put someone in a vegetative state where they are simply ready to say anything, comply with anything, only so that the music can be turned down."
The 3,000 Americans murdered on Sept. 11, 2001, were not available for comment.

I found this site and went to Dr. Christa Clark, I liked her but she was too far from my home. So I have been interviewing different Dr. and came upon Dr. Wu. She graduated from Brown's University with honors and her credentials, on paper at least, seem very impressive.

OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section.

If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold.

It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet.

Ovilla appoints Gonzales acting chief of police
By 01/17/2001 00:00:00
Ellis County Press
OVILLA - Lt. Sal Gonzales was unanimously selected acting police chief by the Ovilla City Council at its Jan. 8 meeting.
Gonzales fills the position caused by the retirement of former chief Sonny Pfeifer.
Gonzales has worked for the Ovilla Police Department since 1996, and previously served as a police officer in Midlothian.
Formal action of the council to
permanently fill the position will take place by March 1, according to Scott Campbell, city administrator.
Gonzales was congratulated on his appointment following the action by the mayor and various Council members. Gonzales asked for prayers of protection for him and all police officers, particularly at this time when escaped prison convicts are reportedly on the loose in the metroplex.
Annual reports were presented by each department head.
Fire Chief Donny Pickard noted in his report the average response time for the firefighters to arrive at emergencies in the city was 5.7 minutes last year. There were 191 calls on fires of various types in 2000, most requiring more than one fire truck.
Ovilla firemen are presently learning a new computerized reporting system for making reports after a fire, Pickard said. However, the new system is making the reporting task lengthy and complex.
Pickard said the firefighters will continue to learn the new system, and the department will eventually benefit from its use.
G.T. Mulholland, a regular speaker during the citizen appearance portion of Council meetings, presented an article in the Ellis County Press, dated Dec. 7, which discussed a letter to the editor he had written complaining about the Council's alleged violation of the Open Meeting Act on Oct. 23.
Mulholland disagreed with Campbell's explanation in the article and maintained his charge certain acts and practices of the Council have been out of compliance with the Open Meeting Act.
The council and mayor did not respond to Mr. Mulholland's statements.
The Council also approved routine financial transactions and, at the close of the public meeting, convened in executive session to consider personnel evaluations.

By an overwhelming 16 to 1 vote, the Cook County Board of Commissioners approved a $2.95 billion dollar budget for 2013.
The only dissenting vote came from Commissioner William Beavers, staunch ally to former Board President Todd
In sharp contrast to the rancorous budget battles under Stroger, today's vote and efforts to streamline the budget moved forward with a spirit of cooperation.
"I want to thank the commissioners for their hard work," said President Toni Preckwinkle. "This was a collaborative effort."
Both Republican and Democratic commissioners stood to applaud Preckwinkle as she adjourned the meeting.
A new $1 tax hike on cigarettes, a $25 dollar levy on the sale of guns and new taxes on the owners of gambling machines are all part of the effort to make up a $267 million dollar budget shortfall. But the new and increased taxes are expected to generate just over $41 million dollars.
Preckwinkle said that the vast majority of the gap was closed with cost savings throughout the Cook County. Vacant positions were eliminated, county facilities have been consolidated and energy conservation efforts have all combined to balance the budget, according to the commissioners.

The best flight availability is to Roma Ciampino (RCU) or Roma Fiumicino (FCO) with an alternative option being Pescara (PSR). Well serviced with cheap flights from all over Europe, Rome is only 100 kilometres away from the spot and Pescara is just 80. Both make this a possibility for a long weekend. If you aren't being picked up from the airport then car hire is the way to go. GoSnowkite have deals with both Europcar and Hertz (book one with GPS!). Santo Stefano di Sessanio is the place to stay, located within the national park it's about 15 minutes from Campo Imperatore and is a beautifully restored medieval town filled with stunning buildings and is famous for its production of lentils. There are a few bars and restaurants, again, check with GoSnowkite for accommodation options. The university city of L'Aquilla is about 30 minutes from Santo Stefano and Campo and offers plenty of night-life and more accommodation options. As you would expect in Italy the food is amazing and there are over 50 restaurants in L'Aquila with a few more down in the valley - so worth an explore.
For the no/low wind days there's skiing / snowboarding at the nearby Gran Sasso ski resort (about 30 kilometres from the spot), telemarking, snowshoeing and, of course, sight seeing.
GoFreeride have been hosting corporate events in the area for over eight years and have attracted a huge range of companies looking for time and cost effective, but exciting, options for team leaders, rewards, management meetings, team building and client entertainment events. Ex-Red Bull athlete, Simon Critchell, offers a personal service arranging everything from accommodation and required IT through to creating fun, challenging and unique activities. Vespa tours, bike and hiking trails, climbing and orienteering, tandem paragliding, quad biking, archaeological.
Campo Imperatore is in the 36 x 6 kilometre Gran Sasso e Monti della Laga national park, about a 90 minute drive from Rome in the highest region of the Apennines. As a national park there are no ski lifts or similar obstacles to worry about and the scenery is stunning. Campo Imperatore is ideal for freestyle and cross country kiting and for all levels of snowkiter.
Working best from December to May, this area offers a range of riding conditions that includes freestyle and cross country for all levels as well as areas that you can snowkite up and then ski/snowboard back down. The bottom surface is typically grass, reducing the danger of hitting rocks. Conditions generate a lot of powder with limited ice patches in the shade or after particularly cold spells. The plain is about six kilometres wide with an increase in elevation towards the edges for those looking for hills to climb and/or jump off. Similar to Norway's Hardangavidda plateau the area is a nature reserve so there are limited man-made obstructions and no shops or restaurants up on the plain, so carry your lunch and drink with you if riding away from vehicles. There is no mobile phone reception on the plain either.
The season runs from November to April and Campo Imperatore is kiteable about 75% of that time, as long as there is snow. The temperatures run from about -5 -+15°C / 23 - 59°F. Wind strength can vary, so bring all your kites if you can, although rental is available.

message vol.19by Takahiro Morita on 2009.05.01 •
Hello everyone. It's time for the update, on the first day of the month as I had promised. Tomorrow, 5/2 is the tenth anniversary live of Tha Blue Herb since they first played in Tokyo. FESN made their opening image, and we'll be filming their performance. Yeah, as usual… (Will there be a day when I can watch them perform normally, not through a lens?)
Commemorating their tenth anniversary, I'm going to look back and write about them and the Japanese Hip-Hop ten years ago. (I'm not talking about skating this time)
It was probably January or February of 1999 when I first heard Tha Blue Herb. I was on a tour filming for my skate video. A sound creator group that I met in Iwaki, Rhythm Troops, they made me listen to Tha Blue Herb. Rhythm Troops knew the way to catch message of artists all over Japan. Rhythm Troops and Tha Blue Herb both shared the same quality―they both were looking at the wide world.
I was at Rhythm Troops' home base all relaxed, and there, I heard "Tha Blue Herb/Still Stilling Dreaming" for the first time. That was the beginning of this whole thing.
Let's look back a little more to the past. It was around 1995. It was good old days for us skaters and also for Hip-Hop. The skate videos from the US and the music used in them were fresher to me back then. After the Wu-Tang released their debut album, almost everybody used Wu-Tang for their skate videos. Same here, I used Mobb Deep and Real Live for my first video. Hip-Hop was so hot back then, with its fashion and everything. Japanese rap was becoming the hot thing and I was really into Japanese rap than English rap since I could understand the message. There was a huge Hip-Hop event called Sampin Camp at Hibiya and I bought an advance ticket and went to see the show. I was stoked to see NIPPS and Rhino. Shakazombie's stage was the most stable too. But before that, I remember some kind of fake Mary J Blige was on stage and we all went out for a fresh air…. Well, what I want to say is, Japanese Hip-Hop/rap was the hottest thing for us.
But as the time passed, things started to change. I felt that Japanese rap/Hip-Hop was becoming wack. It was around the time when Hip-Hop became mainstream in the US. The US artists started to use tons of money for their music videos, and I started to see a lot of US rappers with a lot of bitches. Hip-Hop music itself was changing too; it was an evolution of Hip-Hop. The US Hip-Hop became a huge business, so I think the change was a natural thing. The problem is, Japanese Hip-Hop and rappers didn't go through all the phase that the US Hip-Hop went through; they were just imitating and copying as a fad, without question. The difference between the US Hip-Hop and Japanese Hip-Hop business back then was so big, and I think it will stay that way. This is what it's like in Japan– NY rappers wear this and that, and they rap like this and that… You know what's going to happen? Japanese rappers do the same thing because that's the trend. They're not even young any more and still followers… As I lost interest in Hip-Hip itself and started to listen to other music, rap was just a disturbing noise. I was especially rejecting Japanese rap that was following the US style. I thought I would never have faith in Japanese rap again back then.
I met Rhythm Troops and Tha Blue Herb when I had lost faith in Japanese rap.
That day, I was at a club in Iwaki called WALL when I first heard their music. Their words shattered my beliefs and sense of values. I think almost all the people who heard their music thought, "Are they singing talking me?" And the beats support and shed light to the strong lyrics for the years to come. Since that day, I'm always waiting for Tha Blue Herb's new joint. On 5/2 1999, I bought a ticket, opened the door and entered Roppongi Core with a video camera in my hand. Exactly ten years later, I'm still holding a video camera to document them.
I think the motivation of documenting them for ten years come from the desire to extent the one music that I love and believe in to as many people as I can.
The needle that was dropped on the record that day is still strong and straight. The vinyl is still spinning in my head.
Indeed, that was the beginning of this whole thing.
With the live and everything, this month will sure be a busy one. Operating LIBE is super busy as well that I don't even have time to think. I'd love to skate more, but just recently, I have started filming for the next skate video. The first shooting took so long and it made me re-realize that capturing three seconds of footage takes a large amount of time and effort. A journey has begun to go beyond the last video. Record of 250,000 hits on YouTube is on my side and I'm going to try again. The world is big and it motivates me. There's no turning back now. So, Gou Miyagi, land that trick next time, alright? OK, I'll see you all next month!
FESN director, Takahiro Morita

Think Twice Before Becoming a "NURSE"
- 18Mar 15, '12 by mcrutRNNo offense to the old-timers
Face reality- Nurses are change resistors, not game changers. Working in the worst conditions surrounded by medical money. Making ends meet and supporting their significant others. Thinking they help others. Sorry Johnson & Johnson, we don't make the difference you think we do.
New Graduates struggling to gain experience and settle a career- they might as well give up before they even start. Because every nurse who has been around awhile knows that only they know it all. And these new rookies, they can eat it.
I am far from alone on this one. I'm not an LPN making 15 bucks an hour either. I just see through this nursing crap.
After interacting with enough nurses, its become pretty clear. RUN away before you think you may want to enter the nursing world. It only gets worse.
- 36Mar 15, '12 by VivaLasViejas, ASN, RN GuideI'm sorry you feel this way, OP.
There's no doubt that nursing is one of the hardest and most thankless jobs around; most of us either learn to reconcile what is with what we'd have liked it to be, or we leave the profession. Sounds like you're leaning toward the latter, and for your sake (as well as that of your co-workers and patients) you would do well to take a leave of absence.
Sometimes when we've given and given and beaten ourselves half to death trying to make our employers and our patients happy, we have to step back for a while and let others fill the void. It's OK, it doesn't make you a bad person or a bad nurse.....it only means that you're burned-out and frazzled and you just don't have it to give anymore. You aren't the first, and you won't be the last.
Wishing less stress and positive direction for you in the future.

But all? Come on.

realism, we have gotten into a pickle. our healthcare system is discriminatory, it is a fact. the nurses that do not burn out are the ones that don't give enough. it is easy to stay optimistic when you are not worked to the bone, or are concerned about quality care. meaning that you do not give quality care to the patient, for whatever reason.
so, some of us don't like the system. do we just sit and complain? no. i challenge nurses to improve their knowledge of the system, and improve it! we have no right to complain unless we work to change the situation. i am not a helpless child that has to blindly follow the leader. i am an adult with the ability to stand firm for the rights of proper patient care! please, ask yourself if you put your patient's care first, or just show up for the paycheck. either way, we are guilty of not improving the system.
hope you find yourself being the nurse, and not the patient!
god bless

- 15Mar 16, '12 by pinkfluffybunnyI was talking to a friend this morning about where her nursing path is going. She wants to quit, but what to do. We have all worked so hard for this then we get jobs and we go out, with enthusiasm, ready to make a difference. Only the reality is that nursing in general is like being locked in the monkey cage at the zoo and their all throwing Poo at you. I have thought about it, the question of how to change the system, but it has become flawed on so many levels, that the flaws are so ingrained. Where do you start?
