Top Local Tips for Chicago
Shopping n. michigan ave.-lots of shopping. Be sure to check construction of the "L"
CTA is AWSOME The CTA is great. Ask any CTA personnel and they will help you. One handed me her map out of her purse because they ran out at the station. The stations were well lit. You felt safe on the train, but they do overload their buses. Many people standing. Buy the pass for as long as you stay there. It will be your best friend.
Don't Miss Giordano's Pizza Go downtown, take your picture in front of Uno Pizzeria numero uno, then hop on the Red Line up to the Belmont stop for some real Chicago deep dish pizza. There are other Giordano's restaurants in Chicago, but the original is on Belmont. Bring your appetite and order one of their famous stuffed crust pizzas. We ordered a small and it was HUGE! It was over 2" thick and filled with cheese. It's among the best pizzas I've ever had.

U.S. Bank Named A 2014 Bank Innovation Award Winner
U.S. Bank was named a 2014 Bank Innovation Awards honoree at the Bank Innovation Awards in Seattle on March 3 for the bank's leadership in bringing "photo banking" to the marketplace. The Bank Innovation Awards are presented annually by Bank Innovation, an online industry voice in creative customer acquisition and retention in banking.
In his presentation of the award, executive editor JJ Hornblass credited U.S. Bank for being one of the first to bring mobile deposit capture to banking customers, followed by a suite of services enabled by the mobile device's camera.
"U.S. Bank was the first major bank out of the gate to launch mobile photo bill pay last year, and then last October U.S. Bank was the first bank to offer mobile photo balance transfer, its third function using a smartphone camera. We have no doubt that that will not be the bank's last," said Hornblass.
"Our approach to mobile banking is to offer an experience that is secure and seamless whether the customer transacts with the bank via mobile, at the ATM, in person or online," said Niti Badarinath, senior vice president and head of mobile banking at U.S. Bank. "Consumers have migrated to their mobile devices and want their bank to be right there with them, if not three steps ahead, innovating and thinking about what customers will want next."The awards celebrate innovative successes in the financial services sector, are presented annually to financial services companies that went beyond the obvious to produce great financial results or innovations of particular note, either in product, method, message or means. U.S. Bancorp (NYSE: USB), with $364 billion in assets as of Dec. 31, 2013, is the parent company of U.S. Bank, the 5th largest commercial bank in the United States. The company operates 3,081 banking offices in 25 states and 4,906 ATMs and provides a comprehensive line of banking, brokerage, insurance, investment, mortgage, trust and payment services products to consumers, businesses and institutions.

It aims to provide a cool clubbing experience to all those who are under 21 years of age; the club features theme parties for 16- year-olds too. Spacious dance floor, typical leather couches, LED lights and plasma televisions screening movies or channels like MTV and Spike TV make for a great party atmosphere. The non-alcoholic drinks menu features energy drinks, soda and other soft drinks and you can also munch pretzels and chips. This unique club has set the precedent for an ideal nightspot for teenagers. Please note that Synergy has a strict dress code, so do away with your baggies and bandannas before heading here.

Russ July 01, 2009, 14:06Master
The hoses you are questioning must be the two right next to each other on the "surge tank" on your Chevrolet Malibu. The picture I am looking at shows one hose coming from the back of the engine and another coming from the front - they do not cross. If you have the one from the back connected to the rear most fitting and the one from the front connected to the front most fitting you should be ok.

Why do teenage girls get such a bad rap when teenage boys are equally as annoying (if not even worse) ?
boys are cool for their group of friends just like girls the sad part is that being a *** is cool to most boys at least when I was a teen
for sure... i'm a guy and guys tend to be just as bad as girls. i honestly dont think either is worse. the good ones are good. in my experience, the bad ones are bad, regardless of whether they have testosterone or estrogen to blame.
because teenage boys are considered "cool" by their peers for acting like dickheads (especially when it comes to girls).
agreed! -.-. So freaking rebellious and annoying when I was in high school, I literally wasn't able to learn anything. The teacher wasn't even allowed to teach, because she was to busy telling the off, and giving them detentions.
Teenage girls twitter too much and are overtly emotional. Besides you can't punch a teenage girl in the face if she is annoying you.
and so are teenage girls. The best difference is that a group of teenage boys are far less annoying than a group of teenage girls. If the boys bother me I have no qualms about kicking their *****.
You can generally count on a teenage boy to throw the first punch.
Haha righteouschica, we were scumbags when I was a teen as well :))
well it is sort of expected for boys to be idiots that's why we have girls and women to straighten us out

murky pool shines through.
lightning strikes
mom's kitty cat
what have I done?
Sleeping in sorrow
If I don't wake tomorrow
Then all will be well.
In the deans office,
Where I sit, the smell of tea
Soothes my fever.
I feel like crap as
I sit in suspension. A
Kind boy was fighting.
sucking tears,
wanting the wears
lost in the furnace of wasted years
Because tears are meant
To be a symbol of strength
Even in hard days.
You want to set goal
Big enough that in the process of achieving it
You become someone worth becoming
he rumbles over
wet pavement with just one thought-
steamy kiss… sheer bliss
Love birds sweetly sing
A valentine song they ring
A very true meaning
Ring in the New Year,
with a joyful song of love.
Pray for the New Year,
to the awesome God above.
My sweet valentine
Our hearts forever entwined
You are always mine
Two hearts beat as one
Your smile beaming like the sun
You're my only one
Christmas angels glow,
brighter than the whitest snow.
Hair, long locks of gold.
Today you look thin,
Every mirror slanders doves,
Tomorrow you're fat.
Internal war waged,
Relentless burns subside,
Tranquilize the fear.
Society smears,
Fractured fountations tremble,
Look up for repair.

Attempting to smooth and comb my hair
My fist shatters the mirror-- splintered and bear
It shows how much I despise my hairdos
A dream I had before summer:
"I should publish my poetry so I could become known forever!"
That precious dream went down the drain
The last idea I had in mind:
"I should take a cool shower so I could feel as scrumptious as ever!"
That foul idea plugged up the drain
Forgotten but here
Remembered yet never there
Why do you exist?

Snuffed out in a wink

These songs make me think of you,

Dane Smith-Johnsen
Pacing the room, waiting,
Stomach in a knot,
Deep breath in and out.
The sun is alone,
But raindrops have many friends,
Dancing through the storm.
When one does good deeds,
And others disguise them as bad-
Comes the grapes of wrath.
Suitcase in her hands.
This scene has gotten too dull.
Goodbye, New Jersey.
Photographs of girls,
Thin, pretty in magazines:
Today's role models.
You told me you loved me
Yet even though it hurt me
You took it away
Now I am left alone while
You live without consequence
A/N: If you didn't realize it yet, this is a collection of haikus that form a little
story. Just wanted to give you the heads up on that.
Sometimes in our lives,
Things will start to take control
Of our own body.
My heart skipped a beat
When I laid my eyes upon
Your angelic face.
Though no one noticed
I longed for a single touch,
A feeling of warmth.
To you I'm nothing.
I'm just the dull wallpaper
In your perfect world.
I guess my attempt
Failed miserably , because
You chose to love her.
Now I realize
I wasted countless moments
Of my hopeless life.
Counting on this boy
To see the invisible.
…It proved one thing right.
Sometimes in our lives,
Things will start to take control
Of our own minds.
After looking back.
Give it up while you're ahead.
'Cause love's a mirror.
With only one side,
It reflects the lonely face.
Of Miss Misery.
You were my favorite mistake.
others take time to
blossom, some could no longer
hold the weight of love
I loved y ou so much,
then why did it fade away,
why must this hurt so?
I am scared sensless,
I cannot find bravery,
I'm so scared, help me.
My rising sun wait,
I'm not ready for the day,
I must sleep longer.
Waves of tears I cry,
singing songs of great sadness,
this ocean I bring.
Where the hell was god,
When I needed him the most,
How could he leave me?
The blood is too much,
I cut my wrists to deeply,
I can't stop this death
I cannot tell him,
I wish to have my first kiss,
With his tender lips.
No shining light stares,
all there is, is cold blackness,
my cold hollow life.
Black and gold roses
Not natural in nature
But common in stores

Good idea. I'd suggest we try to get the W3C RDF Validator, or the HTML Validator, to (a) have a syntax checker (b) for folk who check some appropriate privacy box, expose the existence of the page in an Atom/RSS feed. Then you could get a list of recent valid pages from there... Easy for me to say, since I don't plan to write the code. They also have plenty of work on their todo list, but I reckon it's still worth floating the idea, http://validator.w3.org/todo.html DanReceived on Monday, 29 May 2006 18:19:30 GMT

One of rap's big stories in 2014 has been flamboyant eccentric Young Thug and his rise to the top of the Atlanta rap heap. Thug has made a couple of moment-defining hits in "Danny Glover" and "Stoner," his Bloody Jay collab Black Portland is (to my ears, anyway) the year's best mixtape thus far, and who knows, maybe he and his label will figure things out and he'll be able to put together an actual album. But while Thug remains in label limbo, he's still an active participant in the mixtape universe. And yesterday, Thugga and Gucci Mane, his currently-incarcerated mentor, released their collaborative mixtape Young Thugga Mane La Flare. I don't know when these two recorded this tape, or if they even recorded their parts at the same time. But on first listen, it's notable how completely Thugga outshines Gucci, who, until pretty recently, was a hard man to outshine. Migos member Takeoff and frequent Thug collaborator Pee Wee Longway both make appearances, and you can stream or download the tape at DatPiff.

Prudential PLC to Buy AIG Asia Unit for $35.5B
Updated from 3:08 a.m. EST
LONDON ( TheStreet) -- Prudential PLC (PUK) said Monday it would buy AIG's (AIG) Asian unit for $35.5 billion.
Prudential will pay $25 billion in cash and $10.5 billion in new shares and other securities for AIG's American International Assurance subsidiary.
Prudential said the cash part of the deal will be financed through a rights issue of $20 billion and by issuing $5 billion of senior debt."This transaction offers the opportunity to bring together two leading companies, positioning the combined group to capture the future growth opportunity in Asia," Prudential said in a statement to the London Stock Exchange. "We believe the tansaction will both amplify and accelerate our stated strategy to deliver value to our shareholders." Prudential said the merged company would be the leading life insurance company in Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam, Thailand and the Philippines. It will be the leading foreign life insurance business in China and India. The news confirms reports earlier Monday and reports over the weekend that Prudential and AIG were "closing in" on a $35.5 billion sale of AIG's Asian life-insurance operations to Prudential. Under the terms of the deal, AIG won't proceed with its planned initial public offering of American International Assurance. A sale of the unit would help AIG repay funds it has received from the U.S. government, which bailed out the insurance giant during the depths of the global financial crisis. Prudential PLC, which is headquartered in London, is not affiliated in any way with Newark, N.J.-based Prudential Financial (PRU). -- Reported by Joseph Woelfel in New York.

F+W Announces Company-Wide Reorg
Products will be re-grouped into 15 "communities," not by channel.
F+W Media, the Cincinnati-based enthusiast and hobbyist publisher, has announced a major reorganization that groups its products according to "communities," not by channel.
"We believe that focusing on our communities, rather than channels like books, magazines, events or online, will increase the number of organic growth opportunities, will enable us to understand deeply the information and networking needs of our passionate enthusiast communities and enable us to be of the community rather than outside the community," CEO David Nussbaum [pictured] wrote in an e-mail to FOLIO:.
Nussbaum wrote that there are no immediate plans to fold any of its magazines or lay off any staffers. However, he wrote, each community leader will "determine the best structure for their individual unit," which could result in "some minor changes to staff."
In a memo to staffers, Nussbaum said the company will be organized around 15 communities, each to be led by a publisher/editorial director. Sara Domville, who served as president of the book division, and David Blansfield, who served as president of the magazine division, will now serve as co-presidents of F+W Media overall.
Blansfield will oversee 10 of the 15 new communities including Antiques and Collectibles, Automotive, Sports and Construction/Trade, Numismatics, Design, Horticulture, Log Homes, Outdoors, Guns and Knives, and Scuba Diving. The remaining five communities—Fine Art, Crafts, Genealogy, Writing and Woodworking—will be overseen by Domville.
While there are no plans to pool editorial talent according to market, like Source Media's reorganization in August, Nussbaum said there will be "much more cooperation/communication between the content teams."
"Our goal is also to have our service divisions including circulation, production and finance organized so that teams are focused on market sectors rather than channels," Nussbaum wrote in the memo. "The events team ... will organize more by market group while retaining the infrastructure to allow for new launches and product extensions."
In July, Nussbaum announced that the company was changing its name from F+W Publications to F+W Media, a move he said would better reflect the company's expanding portfolio of digital products.
Digital media vice president Chad Phelps and e-media executive vice president John Lerner will continue to oversee the company's digital growth.
According to its Web site, F+W publishes 50 magazines, nearly 5,000 books and produces several events.

Static Stretching
Jul 02, 2013
Static stretching before a workout good. What it does is force the target muscle to relax, it makes it weaker. The result, is a strength imbalance that can occur between opposing muscle groups. An example is stretching your hamstrings causes them to become weaker than your quadriceps. And that could make you more prone to muscle strains, pulls, and tears. When you static stretch it also reduces blood flow to your muscles and decreases the activity of your central nervous system that inhibits your brain's ability to communicate with your muscles, which limits your ability to generate force. That said don't perform static stretching before you work out or play sports.

What is static stetching? Anything like static cling?
When you stetch it's almost like a stench :>) Only if you stretch in a gas dryer not electric will it cause cling :>)
Mommy, Have you ever seen a person when standing take hold of one foot and bend it back to the buttocks they are stretching the Quadriceps (front of thigh) that's a Static stretch.
Hm. What makes it static?
If there is ever a stench when I stretch, you have to be so kind as to tell me. How embarrassing! I tend to cling to whatever is nearby in pain when I stretch, static or otherwise . . .
Is static when you aren't warmed up first? I actually was trying to understand. My son is super tight. I've been trying to help him stretch more. He's athletic and plays a lot of sports but he is NOT flexible at all. I'm worried about an injury for him. His muscles are so tight that I envision him snapping them easily!
Specialmom - have you ever looked into yoga for your son? It could really help him relax his muscles. It's excellent exercise; maybe the 2 of you (actually 3 of you, as you might as well get both sons involved) could do it together, since it would be good for you, as well.
I have explored this. Do you know it is kind of hard to find a yoga class that allows children to participate? I guess a lot of yoga-ites don't want kids around. My son recently turned 9 which means I can bring him to classes at my Y. It doesn't seem like they love this but the rules say I can do it. ??? I might try that. They only have a couple of classes he can do but I might try that with him.
I have tried it at home with a dvd and he is kind of resistant. He is also resistant to stretching. He's my son with sensory issues so he feels things either not at all or way more than anyone else. Asking him to work through the discomfort is a hard thing for him. He got limber when he played on a team that had a coach that really worked on conditioning-- but in youth sports, those are few and far between. He's on a competitive swim team that starts back up in the Fall (we do swim team Fall, Winter and early Spring rather than the summer.) and they have a conditioning coach. ??? Not sure what they do but they spend a half hour two times a week doing conditioning.
He is noticeably muscular and noticeably inflexible. I do worry about an injury!!
So, when I read this--- I was trying to figure out what it was talking about. I've worried that if we sit in the family room together while we watch some evening tv relaxing and I begin stretching with him that going into a cold stretch and pushing too much may actually end badly, as in he hurts himself. This journal reminded me of that. But then I wasn't sure if that was what it was talking about.
You shouldn't stretch before! What you should do is warm up. If your going to run or use a treadmill start walking to warm up the muscles and that brings blood to the area! Then you start to pick up the pace. stretching before exercise is not just counter productive, but potentially harmful.
Traditional stretches, like when people bend over to touch their toes or stretch their legs on a fence, often cause the muscles to tighten rather than relax exactly the opposite of what is needed for physical activity.
Experts say it is like extending a rubber band to its limit. When people stretch to the maximum, they are more likely to pull a muscle. Kieran O'Sullivan, an exercise expert at the University of Limerick in Ireland, who has studied various types of stretching and their impact on athletes.
When you stretch before exercising, your body may think it's at risk of being overstretched. It compensates by contracting and becoming more tense. That means you aren't able to move as fast or as freely, making you more likely to get hurt.
O'Sullivan said stretching helps with flexibility, but people should only do it when they aren't about to exercise, like after a workout, or at the end of the day.
After you exercise then do a light stretch!
Don't know why this popped up on my screen, but it did, so I'll jump in a little. All you need for a warm-up is a little walk or a couple of minutes of light bicycling on a stationary bike or a couple minutes on the treadmill. Then you can stretch. If static stretching was always bad for you, yoga would be bad for you as well. The important thing is to learn how to stretch properly and in a flow and not to stretch too hard but gently. It also depends on what you're stretching, meaning how big the muscle in question is. Bigger muscles are obviously harder to stretch than smaller ones. I've been in way too much physical therapy, which involves a lot of stretching. Sometimes they warm you up, sometimes they don't. My own feeling is nobody knows how to do anything involving the body correctly, but we all have a theory!
That's what I'm saying warm up to get the blood flowing! Foam rollers are also good! Not the greatest but good.
Hm. I just need to figure out a way for my son to stretch his very tight muscles. His developmental delay makes it harder to get him to do things that are good for him (covering many of life's good for you things). He's the kid that won't realize he is pushing too hard if he goes into a cold stretch but then again, doesn't do things that are at all uncomfortable so might not even try to push the stretch at all. he's challenging to this mom! But I need to get him stretching. He does get the correlation to an overworked muscle being stiff and how stretching makes it feel better. So, I'll build off of that. Maybe start him doing something physical in the back yard and bring him in for family stretch time. I'll get him to do it even if I have to bribe him with m&m's (they help stretching, right?)
Thanks! Will check it out.

Timberline Resources: Pump Up the Volume
COEUR D'ALENE, Idaho ( TheStreet) -- Timberline Resources (TLR) shares rallied sharply higher Tuesday on heavy volume after the company increased its gold mineralization estimate on a joint venture project.
Timberline Resources said it has completed an updated calculation of the estimated gold mineralization at its Butte Highlands Gold Project joint venture, increasing its total anticipated mineralization to over 750,000 ounces of gold at an overall grade of 0.26 ounces per ton.
"This additional mineralization is expected to significantly increase our mine life, and there is still the possibility of increasing the mineralization and the mine life as we get into production," said Timberline's Executive Chairman and Vice-President of Exploration Paul Dircksen.
The increased calculations came on a day when gold touched a new record high of $1069.70 an ounce.Shares of the mining company were jumping by 33 cents, or 29%, to $1.47. Earlier in the session, the stock touched an intraday and new 52-week high of $1.58. More than 1.1 million shares changed hands after two hours of trading Tuesday, compared to the stock's three-month average daily volume of 289,000, according to the Yahoo! Finance. Timberline Resources has a 29 million-share float with a short interest float of 2.1% as of Sept. 10, according to Yahoo! Finance. More than 19% of the company's shares are held by insiders with only 0.7% owned by institutions. Read more about today's high-volume stocks like 21st Century Holdings in earlier "Pump Up the Volume" posts. -- Written by Robert Holmes in New York.

Greek government bonds advanced after a U.S. investment firm offered to buy as much as 2.9 billion euros ($3.8 billion) of the securities.
Japonica Partners & Co. said it would purchase the Greek bonds issued last year through a tender offer that expires July 1, according to a statement released by the Providence, Rhode Island-based firm today. Japonica said it planned to purchase almost 10 percent of the total debt outstanding, which has a face value of 29.6 billion euros.
The yield on Greek bonds due in February 2042 fell 14 basis points, or 0.14 percentage point, to 8.53 percent at 3:17 p.m. London time. The price of the nation's 30-year bonds was less than 47 cents on the euro, reflecting concern that a shrinking economy and political strife over budget cuts will hamper efforts to repay debt.
"They have a long-term perspective on Greece," Xander Heijnen, a spokesman for Japonica at Munich-based CNC Communications & Network Consulting, said in a phone interview. "People who don't like the volatility will have to consider this offer. Japonica is basically saying to the market, tender now and tender low."
Greek government bonds returned 29 percent this quarter through yesterday, the best-performing securities among the 26 markets tracked by Bloomberg and the European Federation of Financial Analysts Societies. The bonds rallied amid signs the nation has taken steps to tackle its deficit, with Fitch Ratings upgrading Greece one level to B- from CCC last month.
Dutch Auction
The 10-year Greek yield fell 11 basis points to 9.28 percent today after surging to as high as 44.21 percent before private bondholders agreed to write off more than 100 billion euros as part of a restructuring of the nation's debt in March 2012. Greece agreed in December to pay 11.3 billion euros to buy back 32 billion euros of bonds, reducing its debt burden.
The market for Greek bonds doesn't reflect their intrinsic value, due to volatility and illiquidity, Japonica said in today's statement.
Japonica wants to buy the securities through a Dutch auction, in which investors can specify the price, within a set range, at which they are willing to sell Greek securities. The minimum purchase price Japonica will offer is 45 percent of the bond's principal amount, according to the statement.
Heijnen declined to comment on how much money Japonica manages, whether it already owns Greek debt or any discussions the company has held with other bondholders. The firm doesn't plan to appoint any banks to oversee the Dutch auction, he said.
Japonica is headed by Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Paul Kazarian, a former Goldman Sachs Group Inc. (GS:US) investment banker. The company was founded in 1988, according to its website. Its previous investments include the $630 million purchase of Alleghany International and leading a $250 million initial public offering of Sunbeam-Oster after the maker of home appliances declared bankruptcy, according to the website.

Hey, Scott Weiland: Look, I'm gonna be honest with you — I really don't care whether Slash took his stinky leather boot, planted it on your scrawny behind, and gave you the heave-ho from Velvet Revolver or whether you went all "You can't fire me cuz I QUIT!" on 'em. You've got your old band, Stone Temple Pilots, back together again, but I don't really care about that either. And I really don't care whether people love you guys or hate you guys or about the old debate of whether you're "iconic arena-rock tunesmiths" or "hack grunge retreads." What I do care about is your physical well-being, my friend. Word is you're clean these days, and the touring's been going all right this summer, yet everyone's still placing bets on how soon it'll be before you fall off the wagon, get arrested, cancel shows, die, blah blah blah. But dude, I believe in you. You can make it! Hell, for every one rock 'n' roller who's shot up, then been found the next day stiff and purple with a spike in his arm and a gallon of vomit in his esophagus, there's ten more who've dug deep, conquered the habit, and gone on to lead relatively healthy if artistically subpar lives. So, y'know, it's cool to do the STP thing again, but don't relive the past too much, if you know what I'm sayin'. Remember — dope is for dopes!

Fashion Week: Oscar Posse Holds Breath On Red Carpet Fate
Academy Awards show producer Gil Cates has done such a good job of keeping his plans for an 'alternate' broadcast should the writer's strike remain unresolved come February 24, that even Academy insiders who would ordinarily be gearing up for the big night by now are still in the dark. Tom Julian, who oversees fashion commentary on Oscar.com says he's received no word on what to do with the usually all-encompassing fashion coverage that typically kicks into high gear come Fashion Week, should there be no red carpet runway:
"I have no idea what's happening with the pre-show," says Julian. "If you look at the site, all that's there are the nominations. That's it. We've been told nothing at this point."
A Oscar broadcast without the fashion parade would be devastating all around, says Julian. "Just look at the numbers for the Globes. The interest in celebrity fashion fuels so much of the interest. If there's no red carpet, the repercussions would be quite serious for the fashion industry and for the stars. Where else can they do that kind of preening and posturing?"
Julian says there's a direct correlation between the uncertain state of Oscar's red carpet and the lack of big-screen stars at Fashion Week. "Celebrities and their handlers don't want to go the expense of coming out here if they're not going to be photographed on the red carpet. I think that's why so many of them stayed home."

Cumbria school bosses told 'get your finger out'
Last updated at 16:18, Tuesday, 11 February 2014
CUMBRIA education bosses have been told they need to "get their finger out" and improve the county's secondary schools as they are being "left behind."
Related article:
• Barrow school has 'serious weaknesses' say inspectors
• Barrow school in special measures 'making reasonable progress'
• Walney headteacher's bid to unlock potential of school in special measures
• Ulverston Victoria High School Ofsted report revealed
In a damning letter, Ofsted told the local education authority, Cumbria County Council, and independent academies it has "serious concerns" about the quality of secondary education in Cumbria and it needs to be "urgently addressed".
The education watchdog carried out a blitz of inspections across 17 of the county's schools in November and December under the tougher new framework. Ofsted said: "Too few secondary schools are good and the picture is not improving."Michael Cladingbowl, Her Majesty's Inspector (HMI), Ofsted's regional director for the North West said: "There is too little evidence to suggest the council is providing an effective and shared strategy to improve the quality of education across the county."
Mr Cladingbowl said the local authority needed to provide greater challenge and support and extend partnership working. Ofsted is now closely monitoring education in Cumbria and continuing to work with schools and the council to ensure a higher proportion of young people are provided with a good standard of education.
The accelerated inspection programme was brought in as Ofsted already had concerns about the below average proportion of good or better performing secondaries, when the proportion of Cumbria primaries is above average.
In Barrow, there are now three secondary schools which have had grade four "inadequate" rating overall in their last full inspections. Under the blitz, Walney School was placed in special measures and St Bernard's was told it had a "serious weaknesses".
Furness Academy was placed in special measures in May. During a monitoring inspection it was "making reasonable progress" towards special measures being removed.
Overall in Cumbria, Ofsted found:
lGCSE results were significantly below the national average in the last two years, with the gap widening.
lA particular concern is school performance in coastal and urban areas, and the low achievement of students from disadvantaged backgrounds.
lPockets of good teaching in almost all the schools, and signs of improving leadership and better governance in a small number.
lCommon weaknesses were; poor achievement in maths and English for those from disadvantaged backgrounds, particularly boys; too little challenge in lessons for more able students; and weak leadership of teaching and performance management of teachers.
Ofsted's Andrew Johnson HMI, a senior inspector on the team, told the Evening Mail: "The letter is intended to provoke change. We looked at Cumbria and we have serious concerns. It is a very firm letter and makes it clear that it needs urgently addressing. It is up to Cumbria County Council and the academies to put things right.
"We will be looking over the next few months at the response, we will look at the direction of travel of the schools.
"We want to see you (Cumbria) get your finger out. You need to get these schools and academies improving. It has gone on for too long."
Mr Johnson said in other parts of the country there have been inspections of local authorities. This did not happen in Cumbria but it could in the future.
The inspector said: "We will have regular meetings with the local authority. We are trying to break the cycle of schools coming into a category of concern, and going backwards and forwards, but not getting to good.
"Cumbria is being left behind. If you compare Cumbria with other parts of the country this is uncommon.
"The proportion of good or better primary schools in Cumbria is above the national average. In some ways that makes it more concerning. These children leave (primary school) with really good outcomes.
"Some areas are right at the forefront (of improvement), but unfortunately Cumbria is trailing the field.
"We will not walk away. Ofsted will be supportive. It is not our job to intervene directly with schools."
Schools in South Cumbria report improvement is already happening since the inspections.
Walney School has a new headteacher in John Richardson, who started last month. He has vowed to work tirelessly to unlock its potential for excellence. Responding to the letter, Mr Richardson said: "Improvement is happening at pace at Walney School. As and when HMI come back they will see that. This was born out of the support from Cumbria County Council and Cumbria Alliance of System Leaders."
St Bernard's had been judged as a grade two "good" in 2011. Headteacher Mary Page said St Bernard's will strive to reach its potential to be outstanding. In reference to Ofsted's Cumbria findings, Mrs Page said: "The outcomes reflect a very narrow framework that has been applied rigorously."
Furness Academy's chairmain of governors, Ted Creighton, said: "Our recent HMI monitoring visits have secured the judgement of 'making reasonable progress' on our journey out of special measures. Our recovery plans are working and are bringing improvement. There is some way to go but we are moving in the right direction."
Of Cumbria's 37 secondary schools, 18 are academies and are independently run. The council is working with Cumbria Alliance of System Leaders to improve performance across schools.
Councillor Anne Burns, cabinet member for children's services, said: "We accept Ofsted's analysis of the situation and know there is much more to do to ensure all secondary schools are providing the quality of education that parents and pupils have a right to expect.
"But it's also right to point out 65 per cent of Cumbria secondary school pupils attend a school that is 'good' or 'outstanding' – we want that to be 100 per cent, but we should not lose sight of the fact Cumbria does have many great schools.
"The council's role is to monitor challenge, support and, in exceptional circumstances, intervene in schools to ensure standards are being met.
"But headteachers and school governors have first responsibility for their school's performance; the days when the county council could routinely intervene are long gone.
"It's not acceptable we have schools that are judged to be inadequate and we are working with schools to develop robust improvement plans which will rapidly deliver the change that is needed."

Supernatural Round Table: "Southern Comfort"by TV Fanatic Staff at . Comments
Garth made his return to Supernatural last week, while viewers were reminded many times of the Bobby-sized hole in the heart of the brothers.
In this edition of the TV Fanatic Round Table, staff members Carissa Pavlica and Sean McKenna are joined by by Alice Jester of The Winchester Family Business as they break down "Southern Comfort." Pull up a virtual chair and gather around now!
What did you think of the return of Garth?
Carissa: It's cool that he's come into his own and found his own hunting space. He didn't really take over where Bobby left off, but he was right. Someone had to do something. Given what he knew, he decided to take it upon himself kudos to Garth!
Alice: I was skeptical at first since his first two episodes were real duds, but I must say I really liked him this time around. He's quite the intellect! I liked how he could touch the penny-of-eternal-rage and not be affected by it. All because of a yogi and a Sega Genesis. Who knew that's the secret to life?
Sean: I really like him. He's just such a different character and certainly not your typical hunter. Especially in this episode, he stepped up his game and we got to see he's not just a goofball but a competent hunter. Plus, getting someone so upbeat when everything else is more tense and serious was a nice touch to add to the equation.
Did you enjoy the Bobby references?
Carissa: Yes. It was weird that they just forgot all about him when Season 8 started. I was glad they remembered him.
Alice: Sort of. They fell flat a few times. I found it funny since Garth is the anti-Bobby. He doesn't drink, he's affable instead of cranky, he smiles all the time while Bobby snarled, he's well adjusted while Bobby had a ton of baggage. Garth still feels a big connection to Bobby though, and it's nice to see that Bobby didn't belong to just Sam and Dean.
Sean: I really enjoy when the past is brought up and not completely forgotten (even the references to Sam's demon blood days) and at first I was skeptical. However, after really seeing it was all about remembering Bobby as more than just Sam and Dean's friend but an important hunter connected to everyone, it worked. Did you notice the hat Garth wore was the same as the one worn in the first season finale, "Devil's Trap?"
Should Dean still be mad at Sam?
Carissa: He'll be mad for a while. But there is something much deeper going on and if they don't get over it quick, they're going to do something rash that will drive them even further apart. They're both being ijits.
Alice: No. Dean should be talking with Sam. Or he should be talking with Sam when he's not on a spectre-induced rage. His little "the slate is clean" speech at the end of "And Then There Were None" was certainly invalidated!
Sean: I understand why he's upset but I want them to talk it out further. They've been through so much, they should be able to figure out how to work together again.
What did you think of Sam telling Dean to get over it and move forward?
Carissa: I'd say Dean needs to tell Sam the same thing. Either get over Amelia and move forward or go back for her. Why hasn't he gone back for her? What haven't we learned yet? Whatever it is, let's learn it quick!
Alice: I'm surprised how many thought that was about Dean's rant over Sam's past "choices." I took it to mean he was telling Dean to back off with all the snide comments about taking the past year off. It was about time and I loved seeing him stand up for himself. Hopefully it'll be the first step toward them repairing their relationship.
Sean: I was glad Sam stood up for himself, mostly because I want these two to be back on track. I think they really need to both get over it and stop being upset and move forward. I know it's never that simple, but until they can, working together is always going to have that underlying tension.
Do you think Sam would kill Benny if he had the chance?
Carissa: Yes, but for the wrong reasons. It would be to get back at Dean for keeping him from Amelia, for holding his life against him and for saying Benny was a better brother to Dean that Sam ever was. Those aren't reasons to kill. I think Dean is slowly realizing there are more to the supernatural and just killing them might not always be the right move. Funny, because it wasn't too long ago when Sam was the one in that position. They're always in the same place at different times. It's about time for a meeting of the minds.
Alice: Yes. The question is, will Sam go out of his way to get that chance, especially when he knows Dean won't kill him? I believe he won't kill him unless he's sure that Benny has hurt or killed someone, but he'll be the first guy there if/when that happens.
Sean: Sam will definitely do it, but I wonder as to the circumstances. Will he do it out of anger? Revenge? What if he has to kill Benny to save Dean? Benny's death feels inevitable and when the do come to that moment, I'm sure Sam will have the unfortunate task of making the final blow.
Carissa: Yes, but for the wrong reasons. It would be to get back at Dean for keeping him from Amelia, for holding his life against him and for saying Benny was a better brother to Dean that Sam ever was. Deam isn't keeping Sam from anyone or anywhere. Sam is. Really? Dean's bad for while being possessed got out everything he should have dumped on Sam years ago but it's ok for Sam not possessed in 801 to trash Dean by telling him he find his perfect life and not only didn't it invlove Dean Dean wasn't even in it?! I think Dean is slowly realizing there are more to the supernatural and just killing them might not always be the right move. Dean realized that in Season's 2 Bloodlust.
I personally don't see why Dean should be mad at Sam at all. Dean is bitter because Sam didn't look for him, however unlike the other times they've separated, Sam had no idea where to start or where Dean could be. I also don't believe that Sam needs Dean.
I'm also confused as to why Sam says he's never had a normal life before Amelia. Didn't he do a stint in college with a live in girlfriend? I am glad Sam stood up for himself at the end though. I also thought that when he told Dean to get over it, he was referring to the fact that he hadn't gone looking for him. Dean is very attached to certain people, mainly Sam and likes to keep him under his thumb. He always needs a sidekick with whatever he's doing. I think Sam is used to being more independent. Dean was being hypocritical in always getting on Sam's case for wanting to trust a monster.
I do think Sam will eventually kill Benny. I don't think he'll do it out of revenge but I think Benny will eventually slip up and Sam will be there when he does. I think that when the show eventually ends, (which hopefully will not be for a while), they will go driving off into the sunset together. Or perhaps over a cliff into the sunset together...
Sam doesnt need Dean , he isnt clinging onto him like he is the only thing in his world and Dean isnt doing the same. The brothers relationship should be based on a mutuality not one dictated by Dean,s issues.
Sam would kill Benny if he felt there was a justified reason but not out of pettiness he was upfront with Dean . Dean did go behind Sam,s back and killed Amy that was Dean,s decision . Benny was thrown at Sam like a brick by Dean I wasnt exactly surprised he reacted the way he did .I can understand how Dean views Benny as they were in Purgatory together but Sam wasnt there and he has got burnt before with trusting a supernatural being. Sam asked Dean to trust him over Amy , Dean didnt abnd her being Sam,s friend and saving his life counted for nothing so Dean is expecting a 180 degree turn around in his view to be accepted by Sam it doesnt always work like that. I wish they hadnt gone down this road and not have Sam look for Dean and created yet another brother relationship for Dean instead of focusing on the one they have had from day 1 but they havent.
Garth: Attempt at rehabilitating a character so he can remain a "special guest star." I would judge Garth's character in the past as being completely comfortable with himself, happy doing what he's doing, and knowing who and what he is. To change the character into Bobby 2.0, IMO, is completely OOC, as his emulating Bobby somehow means he knew he was a village idiot and now he can be something and be important. Why else emulate to the degree he did? From now on, I'll record his episodes and FF through them. No, didn't appreciate the references AT ALL. Bobby may have helped a lot of hunters, but none of them had the relationship with him that the brothers did. The episode basically made that relationship meaningless. Sam and Benny: Sam would love to kill Benny, just so he could tell Dean, "I told you so." Unfortunately, I see Sam very much needing Dean right now; whereas, Dean no longer needs Sam...he just wants him around...although, at this point, I don't know why.
What did you think of the return of Garth? I love DJ Qualls and I enjoy him just about anything. His portrayal of Garth could have gone very badly, and at first it seemed to be headed that way, but Garth has really come into his own. Like our boys, Garth has had to grow and change and it is nice to get to watch that happen. Did you enjoy the Bobby references? Yes. Any reference to Bobby makes me smile and these were all so touching. It was about remembering and seeing Bobby's connection outside of Sam and Dean. I thought it worked well and it just reminded me how much I miss the old coot. Should Dean still be mad at Sam? I would be. I have siblings, and if they left me to just rot in Purgatory, yep, I'd be pissed. It would take a great deal of time. Now, everything else he brought up about his past with Sam does need to be gotten over, and I think it has for the most part. Right now Dean is feeling very abandoned and lost and those feelings are dragging up old memories, opening old wounds. It happens to us all. I want to see him get through this, but in reality he needs time to deal with everything he's been through. Dean doesn't do therapy, he doesn't talk about his issues, and usually he buries his feelings - always leading to explosive conclusions. Unfortunately this means that although he really needs to face his issues, he won't until he has absolutely no choice any longer. I get, I hate personal confrontation and I'd rather bury my feelings than face them. What did you think of Sam telling Dean to get over it and move forward? That he was being a complete and total asshole. Dean had just spilled his guts - admittedly under the influence of a specter, still - and he revealed his pain of abandonment, the feeling of distance with Sam and then Sam goes and threatens to leave. ASSHOLE!! Do you think Sam would kill Benny if he had the chance? Yep, honestly surprised he didn't do the moment they met. And right now, if Benny showed up, he would. Now, that doesn't mean things won't change. After all, Cas is about to show up and he knows Benny as well and may be apt to protect him as well. That could change Sam's mind, but at the moment, Sam would kill Benny without blinking. And I agree with Carissa, right now it would be for all the wrong reasons.
Sam doesnt tend to be petty or spiteful so I am surprised people seem to think he is in the wrong with Benny. Especially after the way Dean did act where Amy was concerned. Dean's words were far more devasting to the brothers relationship than anything Sam said and considering Sam's time in the cage and Dean's words to Sam and Bobby I couldnt see why they rehashed this old stuff and Dean didnt blame Sam for Soulless Sam so why retcon that ?. I wish Jeremy Carver had had Sam look he has in showrunners in the past have seemingly used Sam to create so sort of fake drama and the Sam's story is not very good but at least he does have Amelia otherwise right now the show would be dominated by Dean'as relationships. Right now I do wonder why these two are together? Sam doesnt want to be there and Dean doesnt really want him there he has Benny so not sure what we have with the brothers?
[I wish it would warn us we're out of characters instead of cutting us off mid-sentence. I was almost done anyway.] I noticed you guys didn't say a word about the Amelia flashbacks. Is that because you couldn't find anything interesting to talk about? I find them not only boring, but an annoying interruption.
First off, I have to completely disagree with Carissa that Sam would kill Benny out of petty spite. The only thing that would make Sam kill Benny is to save people. (And if it does happen, then yeah, predictable.) Although the horrible way Carver is writing Sam, heck he just might gank Benny because he's pissed at Dean. The kind of guy who leaves his brother to die would do something like that. Garth was hands down the best part of this episode. I've always liked him, and now like him even more. He's a breath of fresh air. I certainly can't say as much for the fighting, it was completely stale. Everything about it was rehashed, from a supernatural being forcing them to spill their guts, to the issues it raised. The conflict between hunting and normal life were big arcs in both seasons 1 (Sam) and 6 (Dean.) Benny is playing the same role as Ruby. And even issues that were long buried were dug up again. I noticed you guys didn't say a word about the Amelia flashbacks. Is that because you didn't find anything interesting to talk about? They are boring, and an annoying interruption.
I love garth. I did not love garth saying ijits. That belongs to bobby. I was so glad sam stood up for himself. Dean reallllllyyyyy needs to get over it. But dean never gets over anything. I like the stronger version of sam. And yes sam will kill benny. But we're talking about sam here. Sam won't kill benny out of revenge. Benny will have to have done something for sam to kill him. And sam will still hesitate because of he and dean's relationship
I loved the return of Garth. He is a really good hunter, I just think he has a hard time dealing with Sam and Dean Level Monsters, like shojos, angels, gods, phoenixes and dragons, etc. Put Garth up against vanilla ghosts, vampires, werewolves and the like and he's definitely the guy you want at your back.
