Taubman Centers Sells Long Island Land And Interest In Arizona Mills To Simon Property Group
BLOOMFIELD HILLS, Mich., Jan. 31, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Taubman Centers, Inc. (NYSE: TCO) ("Taubman") today announced the completion of the sale of land owned by Taubman in Syosset, New York, and Taubman's interest in Arizona Mills ( Tempe, Ariz.) to Simon Property Group (NYSE: SPG) ("Simon").
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20080428/CLM116LOGO)
The consideration, excluding transaction costs, consisted of $60 million of cash and 555,150 partnership units in Simon Property Group Limited Partnership. The number of partnership units issued was determined based on a value of $154.91 per unit. As part of the sale, Taubman will be relieved of its $84 million share of the current $167 million mortgage loan on Arizona Mills, bringing the transaction's total value to $230 million.
"Despite our best efforts and continuing enthusiasm for the opportunity, it became apparent that we were not going to be able to move forward anytime soon in Syosset with development of The Mall at Oyster Bay," said Robert S. Taubman, chairman, president, and chief executive officer of Taubman Centers. "Given the excellent progress we are making with a number of other properties in our development pipeline, we are pleased to be able to redirect our resources at this time." The Long Island property represents 39 acres of land and site improvements at the northeast corner of the Long Island Expressway (I-495) and Robbins Lane."In addition, the sale of our 50-percent interest in Arizona Mills allows us to recycle our capital and invest in our business," said Mr. Taubman. Arizona Mills is located at the intersection of I-10 and U.S. 60 and is the largest outlet and value retail shopping destination in Arizona. The center, which opened in 1997, was developed in partnership by Taubman, The Mills Corporation, and Simon. Upon closing, Simon will own 100 percent of Arizona Mills.

|Assumed office
|Preceded by
|Ida Chong
|Personal details
|Political party
|BC Green Party
|Deputy Leader of the Green Party of B.C
Dr. Andrew J. Weaver is a climate scientist, deputy leader of the Green Party of British Columbia, and a member of the British Columbia Legislative Assembly representing the riding of Oak Bay-Gordon Head.[1]
Weaver was born in Victoria, and graduated from Oak Bay High School in 1979. He received a B.Sc in mathematics and physics from the University of Victoria in 1983, a Certificate of Advanced Studies in Mathematics (Master of Advanced Study) from Cambridge University in 1984, and a PhD in Applied Mathematics from the University of British Columbia in 1987.[2]
After finishing his PhD, Weaver worked as a postdoctoral fellow in the School of Mathematics at the University of New South Wales in Australia in 1988 and in the Joint Institute for the Study of the Atmosphere and Ocean at the University of Washington in Seattle in 1989.[3] Prior to joining the University of Victoria in 1992 he spent three years as an assistant professor in the department of Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences at McGill University.[4] Weaver is the Landsdowne Professor and was the Canada Research Chair in climate modelling and analysis in the School of Earth and Ocean Sciences at the University of Victoria, where he has worked for over 20 years.[5]
Weaver has chaired or served as a member of numerous local, national and international committees. From 2003-2004 he was president of the Victoria Confederation of Parent Advisory Councils (VCPAC).[6] In 2004-2005 he was president of the University of Victoria Faculty Association and served as their chief negotiator in the 2003 and 2006 collective bargaining. Weaver has been engaged in public outreach and science communication. He sat on the CRD Roundtable on the Environment and has delivered numerous public and school presentations and hosted many school field trips to his university laboratory over his career.[7] He continues to lead the development of the Vancouver Island School Based weather station project.[8]
Weaver has authored or coauthored over 200 peer-reviewed papers in climate, meteorology, oceanography, earth science, policy, education and anthropology journals.[9] He was a lead author in the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th scientific assessments.[10] He was the chief editor of the Journal of Climate from 2005-2009. Weaver is a fellow of the Royal Society of Canada, Canadian Meteorological and Oceanographic Society, the American Meteorological Society and the American Association for the Advancement of Science.[11] Over the years he has received numerous awards including the E.W.R. NSERC Steacie Fellowship in 1997, the Killam Research Fellowship and a CIAR Young Explorers award as one of the top 20 scientists in Canada under the age of 40 in 2002,[12] the CMOS President's Prize in 2007, a Guggenheim Fellowship in 2008 and the Royal Society of Canada Miroslaw Romanowski Medal and the A.G. Huntsman Award for Excellence in Marine Science in 2011. In 2008 he was appointed to the Order of British Columbia.[13] His book, Keeping our Cool: Canada in a Warming World was published by Viking Canada in September 2008 (ISBN 978-0-670-06800-5). His second book, Generation Us: The Challenge of Global Warming was published by Raven Books in 2011 (ISBN 978-1-55469-804-2).[14]
Weaver joined the British Columbia Green Party in October 2012 as the party's deputy leader and candidate for the riding of Oak Bay-Gordon Head.[15] He was elected in the 2013 provincial election as the first Green Party MLA in British Columbia's history.[16]
Since his running for office, Weaver has been a strong supporter of the development of the clean technology industry and a firm critic of the Liberal government's liquefied natural gas strategy. Weaver calls the LNG plan a "pipe-dream", asserting that Liberal government promises of a $1 trillion boost to the provincial GDP, a $100 billion prosperity fund, and the elimination of the provincial debt and sales tax are unsubstantiated and irresponsible.[17] Weaver has also been involved in several local issues, most recently calling for a reconsideration of the Capital Regional District's sewage treatment plan in 2013.[18]
In August 2013, Weaver chose not to take on leadership of the B.C. Green Party stating: "I have an ambitious agenda for my term as MLA and achieving this requires focus and hard work. I consider it in the best interests of my constituents, the party and the province if, for now, I focus on my role as MLA and support a new interim leader who can concentrate on building the party." [19]
However, Weaver also stated that if he decides to re-run in the 2017 provincial election and is still the only elected B.C. Green Party MLA, he would then seek leadership of the party.[20]

Unbiased Reviews by Real People
Last year we gutted our kitchen and replaced all the cabinets and almost all of the appliances. This project included finally running in a gas line so I could get rid of the 1976 GE Corning ware smoothtop electric cooktop, which has to be one of the worst cooking inventions since man first put meat on a stick and stuck it into a fire! I grew up cooking on a gas stove and always loved to cook and create new recipes, but 11 years of that electric cooktop had me hating to cook.My next-door-neighbor, bless him, builds custom houses, and offered to help, which meant not only being lucky enough to get a custom cabinet builder to do the cabinets at contractor cost, but also getting the appliances at wholesale.My aunt has a fairly new house with Kitchenaid appliances, including a 5-burner gas cooktop. I've used hers, and really like it, so I decided to get a similar one for my new kitchen. After consulting our budget and what our neighbor's supplier could get, we went with the KGCC566RBL model cook-top. Since my new cabinets are natural maple, and the quartz countertop is blue flecked, I thought black appliances would look really sharp. And they do.First the specs:The cooktop is 36 7/16" wide, by 20 5/16" across, by 2 7/8" deep. It requires 120V, 60 Hz, AC copper wire connection, and a time-delay fuse and separate circuit breaker is recommended by the manufacturer. It should be installed by professionals.It has five sealed burners in three sizes and four BTU measurements, one in each front corner, and three across the back. The largest burner is the front left, 17,000 BTU, the two smallest are the 6,000 BTU left rear and right front. The middle and right back burners are 9,100 and 12,500 BTU's respectively. The matte black plastic "infinite heat" control knobs are in the front middle, easy to reach and see, and easily removed for cleaning. Just pull them off, and when you're through cleaning, fit them back on.The three matte black cast iron grates are continuous, making it easy to slide a pot from one burner to another. The two longer grates on each side are notched to fit snuggly against the small knobs at each end of the shorter back middle grate; all have little rubber feet to keep them from either slipping or scratching the cooktop surface.The surface is smooth ceramic glass; nice, shiny black.Usage:The large, 17,000 BTU burner needs adjusting, and I haven't figured out how to do that, yet, mostly because I haven't taken the time to do so. It sometimes takes a few extra seconds to light, while gas is meanwhile building up, which results in a large "whumpf" and blast of flame when it does catch. It's a bit... scary. And I've noticed this same issue with my aunt's cooktop, too, so I think it may be something Kitchenaid needs to address. The one and only thing that old electric cooktop did well was a very low simmer. That's great when you're cooking rice, or trying to keep cider/cranberry punch hot, and it's the ONLY thing I miss. Even the small 6,000 BTU burners on this model don't quite seem to simmer as low, and I have to watch it when I'm cooking rice.Aside from rice, I love how fast it cooks, especially compared to that old clunker. The infinitely variable temperature knobs make it easy to control the heat, and my omelets have never been better. I don't do any deep-frying, but I do sauté a lot, and I make sauces and steam veggies, and I love being able to go from high heat to low heat without having to take the pan OFF the heat! As Gershwin said, "S'wonderful"!!Caveat:That said, I will NEVER get a black ceramic glass appliance again! Kitchenaid claims that it's easy to clean, well, yeah, spilled food does wipe up easily... but it streaks. And smears. And shows every single speck and mote of dust that gets near it. In fact, I think it attracts dust to it like a magnet! It looks sharp when it's clean, but next time I'll go for white or almond. 09/09/2009 Update re the issue of the largest burner not turning on immediately: The burner is getting worse about lighting. Now it really shoots flame out the side when it finally lights, and the flame is noticably higher one side of the burner by several inches, no matter the setting. Tonight it flamed over my hand on the knob as I turned it on, and even on med-low heat it flamed up the side of a 10" saute pan. It has been suggested that there's too much pressure, but I have no idea how to adjust that. I just used the Kitchenaid website to schedule a service call, and will let ya'll know how that goes. The website was easy to use, and not only let me select the date I wanted the service, but had three options for time: 8:00 AM - 12:00PM, 8:00AM - 5:00 PM, or 12:00 PM - 5:00 PM. We chose the all-day option for day after tomorrow, so we'll see how long that takes.09/11/2009 Service call: Boy, am I blonde. The very nice service man was here by 8:30 this morning, and the first thing he did was move the grate, then reseat the flat black cap that sits on top of the burner. The burner now lights perfectly. He said that if those burner caps are even the slightest bit askew, it changes the airflow to the burner, and causes difficulty lighting and uneven flame. He said it's a common problem (that just cost me $130 to learn about) that he sees quite often. I felt really, really dumb. Also a little incredulous, because I have cleaned that stove many times since it was installed in April '08, and I have trouble accepting that I could have so consistently NOT put the burner cap back on correctly! He did say it was possible that the cap was a bit warped, and since the parts are still covered under warranty (labor, alas, is not), just went ahead and ordered a new one, which will be sent directly to us. Then he scheduled the return call to install the new burner, politely accepted our check, and wished us a good day. The burner worked beautifully tonight. And I feel really blonde.10/08/2010 Update: For the most part, I've enjoyed the cooktop, except for the smears left after cleaning, and the too-high simmer. BUT... one day as I was standing at the other counter, I heard a very loud POP behind me - almost sounded like a gunshot - that startled the heck out of me. Turns out that the cast iron grate over the smallest burner (front right, and one of the two most used) just... cracked. Have you ever heard cast iron break? Hasn't affected the performance of the burner any, and while the grate is cracked all the way through in that one spot, it's not actually got a chunk broken out, and is usable. I talked to the supplier (I've learned my lesson on KitchenAid's customer service!), and he ordered a new grate for me under warranty. Said he's never heard of this happening before. The new grate arrived, but it doessn't quite fit - the grates are notched and pegged to lock together, and the notch on this one is not quite in alignment with the others. I can use it, but I'm keeping the old cracked one, too.
Amount Paid (US$): 776.

The SuctionSeal PET is engineered with SuctionSeal Technology - all-surface suction plates concentrate airflow for deep cleaning suction power. As you move across carpet, hardwood or tile floors the plates raise and lower, creating a seal to maximize airflow for powerful cleaning performance. Whether it's surface dirt or debris hiding in crevices, it's sucked up and away without any scattering. Unlike other vacuums, Eureka's exclusive AirSpeed Technology with two smooth tubes featuring limited bends and turns, allows more air to pass through the vacuum; the direct air path from floor to cup decreases the distance for dirt to travel, which increases the amount of airflow for powerful suction. SuctionSeal provides maximum suction power longer than other types of vacuums. Tested to strict industry standards, Eureka's multi-cyclonic dust cup system never loses suction and maintains power as you vacuum your home. It's designed to deep-clean pet hair from carpets, bare floors, upholstery and more. On-board tools including the pet upholstery brush, a turbo driven PET Power Paw and crevice tool provide 39 feet of reach with the hose and wand.

Blue Bloods Review: What You Do Nextby Christine Orlando at . Comments
The NYPD's "No Questions Asked" Gun Buy Back program certainly left us with lots of questions on Blue Bloods this week. Do you bend the rules to follow the law? Maybe.
The good samaritan who fought for the weapon in the pharmacy robbery was an idiot. Was he planning on battling all three armed men? What was he thinking? He got lucky the bad guy pulled the ski mask back on quickly. I think the mean one would have shot everyone in the place if he thought they could have recognized one of them.
I liked that they briefly discussed the pros and cons of the program. Apparently they get so many old guns they quipped that it's like an episode of the Antique Road Show. Of course, some of those guns have been used in crimes, like the Colt 45 in question.
I understood why Officer Perez took that picture. As a cop, her first instinct was to catch bad guys and she thought she had one in front of her. That's a hard instinct to fight. I was even more impressed with the sneaky way she took the photo and then moved it to her trash when Reverend Potter confronted her. The girl was fast.
Frank's punishment fit the crime. She broke the rules and the consequences could have derailed the entire program. But her actions didn't make her a bad cop. In essence, she did the wrong thing for the right reasons.
Again, Garret was a stand out. His banter with Frank and Reverend Potter was spot on. He managed to not back down and get his point across with enough humor to keep things interesting. He's quickly become one of my favorite characters.
Nicky's side story was interesting and more than a little sad. That a teenage girl would embarrass herself for a little bit of attention wasn't nearly as surprising as I wish it had been. It's a strange world.
When Nicky lamented her failure to stand up for her friend, Jamie reminded her of what her grandfather would say about that in one our Blue Bloods quotes…
It's what you do next that counts. | permalink
And even though Frank wasn't the one to say it, he certainly followed the advice as he dealt with the Officer Perez situation. Specifically how he handled the mayor and Reverend Potter with honesty and just enough manipulation to keep them out of a tricky situation. He gave them the option of more information but let them see that knowing more could only hurt them. Very smart.
Frank and Danny's conversation about what kind of cop they've been was enlightening, as Frank attributed their success more to luck than skill. He's worried Danny's luck will run out.
The Reagan family dinner was much too short. It made me miss Danny and Erin's bickering from the last episode but I suppose you can't fit everything into an hour. I'll just have to hope for more next week.

I really like this show, I don't miss it at all. I love how they fight and love as a family. I also like Jackie, Garrett and Baker.
I felt sorry for Nikki trying to help and yet understand her friend. I am glad they are showing more of her. Jamie was a true uncle, in helping Nikki.
This show continues to develop its cast of interesting characters. The only problem is that so many of them are complex and worthy of additional screen time. I applaud the writers for bringing Nicky's character along so well--she is a very interesting young woman. Blue Bloods is one of the finest shows on network television.
I really like this show! This was more centered around Frank even though we had alot of Danny as usual. I truly like Donnie Whalberg but I still want to see more Jamie storylines as they wrapped up the mafia story super quickly a couple episodes back. I did like Jamie helping out Nikki, their scene together at school was very sweet. I always like the dinner scenes even though we get them very briefly it is always fun to watch. I also liked Donnie telling Frank that he drinks with Erin to unwind, drinks with Jamie to give advice and drinks with him to lecture him, there was just something about that, that I liked...not sure why.
I very much liked this episode. Nicky's dilemma with her friend, not standing by her at first and then finding out that her friend sent the picture herself to get attention was very well played. I agree with the reviewer it was also very sad that someone was so starved for attention that they had to do something like that. Nicky not telling her that she knew showed how mature for someone her age is, although we have seen the terrible teens at times from her in other episodes. I know that its good that they have these gun programs, but it just seems to me that there is always one to replace it out on the streets. I'm just not sure if it really helps. I liked how they showed Danny trying not to use the picture the officer took. Like the reviewer said, it would be hard for an officer who knew that the gun was used in a shooting to just ignore it. I truly enjoy this show.
This is an excellent episode for me! I love how Jackie and Danny struggles against using the picture. (Jackie needs more lines! So does Garrett!). And though Nicky's side story is predictable, I still love how Nicky handles it. And as annoyed Frank with the Reverand, I actually like him this episode mostly because his banter with Garrett.
Blue Bloods is different from any other cop shows out there. I guess it's the family thingy. Though I hope they don't have so much breaks in a month.
Again, another very well-written script, with terrific acting by all. I agree with the writer - Garrett is a standout and I, too, am beginning to like him more and more with each episode. Frank is my favorite, of course, but the rest of the cast is excellent, and Nicky is a delight. Love this show as you can watch it with your family, and yet be wrapped up in its subtle lessons of humanity. Yes, love the family dinners commencing with grace; nice touch.

|Oklahoma Department of Transportation
The Oklahoma Department of Transportation (ODOT) is an agency of the government of Oklahoma responsible for the construction, maintenance, and regulation the use of the state's transportation infrastructure. Under the leadership of the Oklahoma Secretary of Transportation, the Department maintains public infrastructure that includes rail lines, state highways, state seaports and state airports. Along with the Oklahoma Turnpike Authority, the Department is the primary infrastructure construction and maintenance agency of the State.[2]
ODOT is led by a State Transportation Commission, composed of nine members appointed by the Governor of Oklahoma with the approval of the Oklahoma Senate. The Commission in turn appoints a Director, who serves as the executive head of the Department. The current Director of ODOT is Gary Ridley who also serves as the Secretary of Transportation, as appointed by Governor Brad Henry in 2009.
The Department was created in 1976 during the term of Governor David L. Boren.[2] It superseded the Department of Highways, which was established in 1911.
The Department of Transportation's mission statement is "The mission of the Oklahoma Department of Transportation is to provide a safe, economical and effective transportation network for the people, commerce and communities of Oklahoma."[1]
The predecessor agency to ODOT was the Department of Highways, which began operations in 1911, four years after Oklahoma statehood. The Department of Highways, consisting of four employees, was given an initial budget of $3,700.[3] The state's first 29 numbered highways were commissioned on August 29, 1924.[4] As of May 1, 1926, the state highway system consisted of 3,682 miles (5,926 km) of graded dirt roads (72% of the system), 832 miles (1,339 km) of gravel roads (16%), and 634 miles (1,020 km) of paved roads, for a total system length of 5,148 miles (8,285 km).[5] By March 1, 1930, the department name had been modified slightly to simply the Oklahoma Department of Highways.[6]
In 1976, the Oklahoma Legislature restructured the Department of Highways as an overall coordinating agency for the state's highways, railways and waterways and renamed to the Oklahoma Department of Transportation.
The Department of Transportation is primarily funded by motor vehicle fuel taxes, legislative appropriations, and a return of federal matching dollars from the Federal Highway Trust Fund. ODOT's annual budget of both federal and state funds is applied to highway construction and maintenance activities, railways, waterways, public rural transit programs and administration statewide. While the primary business is construction and maintenance of the state's highways, the agency also promotes intermodal transportation such as railroads and waterways.
As of 2011, ODOT is responsible for the maintenance of 6,800 bridges and 31,000 lane-miles (49,890 lane-km) of road throughout the state. Of this, over 12,000 lane-miles (19,312 lane-km) are Interstate highways. In 2010, ODOT assessed approximately 750 of its bridges as being structurally deficient. The Department also owns 850 miles (1,370 km) of railway.[3]
The agency is under the supervision of the Oklahoma Secretary of Transportation. Under Governor of Oklahoma Mary Fallin, Gary Ridley is serving as the Cabinet secretary.
The Oklahoma Transportation Commission is the governing body of the state transportation department. The Governor of Oklahoma, with the approval of the Oklahoma Senate, appoints the members of the eight-member commission. It is the duty of the commission to establish agency policies and to appoint the agency director. The members each represent one of the eight geographic districts corresponding with the agency's eight field divisions. The governor serves as an ex officio member of the commission, but may only vote to break a tie.
The current members of the Oklahoma Transportation Commission are as follows:[7]
- Governor Mary Fallin, ex officio
- District 1: Mr. John Fidler
- District 2: Mr. J. David Burrage, Vice Chairman

The Department of Transportation is a non-appropriated State agency. This means that is annual operating and program budget is not dependent upon yearly appropriations from the Oklahoma Legislature. The Legislature, through the enactment of State law, has provided the Department with a direct stream of revenue, with all such revenue automatically deposited into the State Transportation Fund. One of primary revenue sources for the Department is the State's sales tax on gasoline and diesel motor fuels. Those taxes constitute roughly one-third of the Department's total budget. Grants under the Federal-aid Highway Program of the Federal Highway Administration equal almost sixty percent of the budget. The remaining ten percent from the sale of State bonds for the construction of State roads and bridges.
The Department's annual budget is divided between two major areas: Departmental Administration ($413 million for FY2011) and Capital Improvements ($1.3 billion for FY2011). The first is used for the operation of the Department, such paying employee salaries and utilities, and the second is used for the construction and maintenance of transportation systems across the State.
For fiscal year 2011, the Department of Transportation had the following budget by division areas:
For fiscal year 2010, the Department of Transportation had the following budget by program area:

Rethy casts eye over German semi
German football commentator Bela Rethy spoke with ITV.com's Harry Hesp ahead of the semi-final between Die Mannschaft and Italy in Warsaw on Thursday evening.
He revealed his thoughts on why Germany would have preferred to play England, madcap Italian striker Mario Balotelli and how German forward Lukas Podolski will adapt to life at Arsenal next season.
The respected veteran said, "I think now they have a unique chance to beat Italy. It was surprising in South Africa, how well they performed. They have a good mixture between the spectacular and the spirit German sides of old had.
"I am quite optimistic, even though it is a tough game. I think they will win 1-0, something like that."

Sponsored Deals
They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. 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. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
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. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!
Ask The Community
They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates. Or vote for your favorite questions, or your favorite answers, or… maybe we should call this section "Ask, Answer, Comment On, And Vote In The Community", but that won't fit on the page.

Worker Dies In Accident At Thermon Building
SAN MARCOS, Texas (AP) â¿¿ One worker has been killed and another seriously hurt in an industrial accident at the construction of a new Thermon Manufacturing Co. building in Central Texas.
San Marcos, Texas police say a pre-engineered metal building frame under construction collapsed Wednesday at Thermon Manufacturing, which is a unit of Thermon Group Holdings Inc.
Police did not immediately provide further details on the surviving worker, except that the person has non-life threatening injuries and has been transported to a hospital. Police did not release names of either worker.
The building under construction is a new manufacturing facility for Thermon, which makes heat tracing products for the energy industry. The contractor is Bailey-Elliott Construction Inc. of Austin.Thermon attorney Jim Schubert said Thursday the accident is under investigation and he declined further comment. Bailey-Elliott did not immediately comment to The Associated Press.

Mobile County Public Schools start back Thursday, August 7 and there are some changes at J.E Turner Elementary School for the 2014-2015 school year. The most notable change is the teaching staff.
At the end of the 2014 school year, 21 teachers were given mandatory transfers from J.E. Turner Elementary School.
Sources tell Fox10 News only six of those teachers are returning.
According to Mobile County Public Schools Superintendent Martha Peek, a large number of transfers from one school is not unusual.
"Yes it's not uncommon there can be a lot of different reasons teachers decide to move," Peek said.
Fox10 News thought the number seemed high so we did some fact checking of our own. Fox10 News submitted a Freedom of Information Act request to the school system asking for the number of mandatory and voluntary teacher transfers from schools throughout Mobile County in the last five years.
After sorting through more than 120 listings, we found just nine schools with more than 20 mandatory teacher transfers.
- In 2009, 21 teachers were transferred from both Lee Intermediate and Bessie Fonville Elementary Schools.
- In 2010, Scarborough Middle had 27 teacher transfers.
- In 2012, Hamilton Elementary had 28 transfers, Lee Elementary School 34, Denton Middle School 29 and Satsuma High School 48.
- In 2014, 37 teachers were transferred from Eichold-Mertz and 21 were transferred from J.E. Turner Elementary
What's the reasoning behind some of these transfers?
Four of the schools listed are in Chickasaw and Satsuma, cities which formed their own school systems and Bessie Fonville Elementary closed.
That leaves four schools with more than 20 mandatory teacher transfers.
Fox10 News asked the Mobile County Public School System about the reasons for the high numbers or transfers. In its reply the school system said, "We don't discuss personnel matters…As far as the number of teachers that left a school, there could be many different reasons which we do not go into".

NEW YORK -- The NFL is immediately implementing a sweeping
domestic violence initiative that calls for a six-game suspension for a first
offense and a lifetime ban from the league for a second offense.
The measures, announced in a letter from NFL commissioner
Roger Goodell to all team owners, a copy of which was obtained by ESPN, apply
to all NFL personnel.
A six-game suspension would be without pay and the length of
the penalty could increase in these cases: an employee was involved in a prior
incident before joining the NFL; violence involving a weapon; choking, repeated
striking, or when the act is committed against a pregnant woman; or in the
presence of a child. A second-time offender may petition for reinstatement
after one year but there is no assurance the petition would be granted, the
letter said.
The measures come partly in response to intense criticism
Goodell received for his handling of discipline for Baltimore Ravens running
back Ray Rice, who received a two-game suspension in July for assaulting his
then-fiancee in February. Widely viewed as soft punishment, Goodell left many
with the impression that the NFL did not understand domestic violence or take
it seriously as a crime.
Goodell acknowledged as much in the letter.
"At times, however, and despite our best efforts, we
fall short of our goals," Goodell wrote. "We clearly did so in
response to a recent incident of domestic violence. ... My disciplinary
decision led the public to question our sincerity, our commitment, and whether
we understood the toll that domestic violence inflicts on so many families. I
take responsibility both for the decision and for ensuring that our actions in
the future properly reflect our values.
"I didn't get it right."
To be counted as an "offense," a player would not
necessarily have to be convicted in a court of law, but each incident will be
judged on its own merits.
"Our personal conduct policy has long made clear that
domestic violence and sexual assault are unacceptable. We clearly must do a
better job of addressing these incidents in the NFL. And we will," the
commissioner wrote.
The Ravens had no immediate comment on the new policy after
it was announced Thursday.
The league also announced a number of outreach measures. It
will bulk up the domestic violence portion of the rookie symposium, identify at-risk
personnel and offer preventative counseling, and also offer families a phone
number as an emergency resource.
The NFL will also take that message on the road.
"We will expand the educational components in our
college, high school and youth football programs that address domestic violence
and sexual assault," Goodell wrote to owners.
The NFL instructs owners to distribute a memo to all
personnel that details these new expectations and begins: "Domestic
violence and sexual assault are wrong. They are illegal. They are never
acceptable and have no place in the NFL under any circumstances."
In February, Rice was arrested on a charge of aggravated
assault after knocking out his fiancee in an elevator in Atlantic City, New
Jersey. Surveillance video showed Rice dragging Janay Palmer, who appeared
unconscious, out of the elevator. Unreleased video showed Rice striking Palmer
in the elevator.
In July, Goodell announced that Rice would be suspended for
the first two games of the regular season. There was deep and sustained
criticism from fans and groups who work with victims of domestic violence in
response. The number of games was less than the suspensions given for most
other infractions, such as substance abuse, steroid use or DUI offenses. The
penalty for those items is determined by the collective bargaining agreement
hammered out with the players' union in 2011.
Domestic violence infractions, however, fall under the
personal conduct policy, which meant that Goodell alone was able to determine
the severity of any fine or suspension. The fact that the Ravens held a press
conference with Rice in May and had Janay sitting next to him on the dais also
seemed to imply she shared responsibility -- whether or not that was the
The fact that Goodell reportedly allowed Rice's wife into
the hearing to plead for leniency in front of her husband's employers struck many
as inappropriate.
"Having done this work for many years, often a victim
will say she doesn't want the abuser punished," said Judy Kluger, a former
New York City judge and current executive director of Sanctuary for Families,
after the decision was announced. "That shouldn't deter what an
independent organization decides to do."

She is or she isn't i don't know and i don't care!! however she is pretty!!
what are you talking about? She eats red meat aswell as fish&chicken Celebuzz! She is NOT a vegeterian, not even close!
Kristen is not vegetarian. Her character Bella was supposed to be but it was never actually said. She eats seafood, tuna burgers, crab and this is from a recent interview for on the road. "I get really embarrassed when people ask me what I cook, for some reason," she recalled of a dinner party she threw last year. "I shouldn't say that I cook anymore. There was like a big BBQ situation and, like, a bunch of steaks and veggies, and I made chicken piccata. I'm so embarrassed right now. But I made homemade marinara sauce starting at, like, 2 in the afternoon. It wasn't done until 8. It was incredible. The 'Twilight' cast showed up." Source MTV
didn't she eat some kind of meat sandwich in "welcome to the rileys"?
Who cares. I don't see something awesome about vegeterians that are eating seafood. Meat is very important.
yes she is!!
Uhh, she's not a vegetarian. Her character is in Twilight.
don't eat meat?? she is not vegetarian!!

Stuck in the house exercise ideas
Find a Conversation
|Wed, 12-26-2012 - 8:20am
So you are stuck in the house for several days and can't get out due to weather. What kind of exercising (if any) do you do?
|Thu, 12-27-2012 - 8:21am
I'm assuming there is little to no equipment available? You can run up and down stairs, do videos, bodyweight exercises, pilates-type exercises....
|Fri, 12-28-2012 - 4:22pm
I love bodyrock.tv and zuzana light's site. Both have quick intense workouts. Bodyrock uses more equipment but you can work around it. Zuzana used to be part of bodyrock but I'm not sure why they split.
|Sat, 12-29-2012 - 6:40pm
I've been doing some older videos. I need to update my collection. Do you have any recommendations?
|Sat, 12-29-2012 - 6:43pm
Oh nice-great ideas there! I have never heard of it so I Googled it.Wow is the gal I watched on several videos thin! She must be teeny tiny in real life.
|Sun, 12-30-2012 - 12:08pm
Yeah, I think they look amazingly fit but are a little sexualized. I know it's what they're going for but it's more of a turn off for me. They're good workouts, though--nice, short, intense.
|Tue, 01-01-2013 - 6:43pm
I turn on my music and dance my heart out all over the house. The kids and hubby love it, and they often join in. I can also add in some situps, pushups and squats and I have a complete workout.
Also, intense scrubbing, like floors and bathrooms are great to get that heart pumping!

quote:Are you joking? Bama fans hyped them up to be the most NFL ready LB's ever in college football. Hightower had about 60 tackles. Same for Upshaw, who took over for Suggs and only got 1.5 sacks in a system set up for getting lots of pressure from the OLB spots. The hype didn't match the production. They looked like average LB's even though Bama/Saban are supposed to be a LB factory. How about Rolando McClain. He's had a great career. What about Nico Johnson, who they claimed was a 1st round lock. Then dropped to the 4th round. Saban has a great college system, but his players almost always need way more development in the NFL. Dre Kirkpatrick not even knowing how to backpedal. Kareem Jackson needed 3 seasons to become average. Mark Barron was abused in coverage for the majority of his rookie year and on top of that he missed tackles that should be second nature to him. Point is all these players have big potential. But hardly any have been NFL ready from the get-go. Which is one of the biggest claims by Bama proponents.

This release is available in German.
For quite some time, DNA, the stuff our genes are made of, has also been considered the building material of choice for nanoscale objects. A team led by Gnter von Kiedrowski at the Ruhr University in Bochum has now made a dodecahedron (a geometric shape with twelve surfaces) from DNA building blocks. As reported in the journal Angewandte Chemie, these objects are formed in a self-assembly process from 20 individual trisoligonucleotides, building blocks consisting of a branching junction and three short DNA strands.
A regular dodecahedron is a geometric shape made of 12 pentagons of equal size, three of which are connected at every vertex. This results in a structure with 30 edges and 20 vertices. In order to produce a hollow dodecahedral object from DNA, the researchers used 20 three-legged building blocks (three DNA strands connected together at one point). The centers of these building blocks represent the vertices of the dodecahedron. The three edges projecting from each vertex are formed when a single strand of DNA converts two neighboring bridging components into a double strand.
In order for this process to result in a dodecahedron and not some other random geometric object, all of the DNA strands must have a different sequence. Among these, there must, however, be pairs of complementary strands that can bind to each other.
By using a computer program, the researchers identified a set of 30 independent, 15-base-pair-long, double-stranded DNA sequences with similar physical properties. The double-stranded sequences were assigned to the individual edges of the dodecahedron and to specific vertices for termination. It was then determined which three single-stranded sequences needed to be attached to each three-legged junction for the predetermined structure to form.

GLASTONBURY (AP) — Glastonbury police say a 12-year-old local girl was sexually assaulted by a Hartford man after they met on a smartphone chat application and later got together in person.
Police say they charged 24-year-old Mijael Fabian on Sunday with enticing a minor into sexual activity, risk of injury to a minor and misdemeanor sexual assault. Fabian posted $150,000 bail and is to be arraigned Feb. 26 in Manchester Superior Court.

If you'd like advice on preparing your home for sale and are reluctant to call a real estate agent early in the process, consider contacting a home stager about a walk-through.
"We do that," said home stager Jennifer Manchester, "and, as a matter of fact, lots of agents prefer it ..."
Manchester is both a stager and a real estate agent (www.jennifermanchester.com), so she's familiar with the roles of both. I called her after my neighbor said she was reluctant to contact an agent a year or more before she and her husband plan to sell. If not to an agent, where else could she turn?
I suggested a stager, but explained that I hadn't explored that question.
Most sellers know that stagers arrange or "prop" homes for sale, to show spaces at their most appealing. Stagers bring their own furniture and accessories into empty homes. But Manchester said stagers can do everything from choosing paint and carpet colors to suggesting kitchen upgrades.
Manchester also said she understands why a seller might be reluctant to contact an agent early on. For instance, the seller might not be ready to choose an agent to handle the sale. In fact, she said, some agents can be reluctant to offer tough advice, for fear of offending a potential client.
Why not an interior designer? Well, designers often work to push clients out of their comfort zones, perhaps toward bold colors. Stagers do the opposite. "Designers personalize spaces," she said. "Stagers neutralize."
It's easy to find general advice about preparing a home for sale. The suggestions are broad and generic, but they're a good starting place. Clean up and fix up. Outside, prune the shrubs and paint the front door. Inside, get rid of clutter and make sure everything is working properly.
Make sure rooms are used as intended – which means no exercise equipment in the dining room. "You're selling square footage – not stuff," Manchester said.
A stager can help with more specific advice.
In addition to such things as colors and carpet, stagers can suggest ways to upgrade lighting and the like, and even offer kitchen and bath improvements. It might not make sense to tackle a full kitchen renovation before selling, but new countertops might be in order if they're dated.
To find a stager, visit www.stagedhomes.com. That's the online site of the professional organization that Manchester and other top pros are certified by. They're Accredited Staging Professionals, or ASPs.
When choosing a stager, ask about professional training and experience. Top pros should be able to share pictures of their work. Manchester said they should be able to tell you how long homes they've staged took to sell, and how close to the asking price the homes sold for.
Ask how the stagers charge, of course, and how much. They can charge by the hour or by square footage. Some work for flat fees. Prices begin at about $150 for a starter home, Manchester said, and go up.
