RFU enters row between ERC and Premier Rugby over TV deal
The Rugby Football Union has entered the television contract dispute by stating it did not give permission to Premier Rugby to sell European rights.
Premier Rugby, which represents England's top 12 clubs, is in conflict with European Rugby Cup (ERC).
ERC, which oversees the Heineken Cup, believes Premier Rugby exceeded its powers by selling European rights to BT Vision for three years from 2014.
- The Heineken features clubs from the countries that play in the Six Nations: England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland, France and Italy
- The second-tier Challenge Cup has teams from the Six Nations countries, plus Romania and Spain
- The competitions are governed by European Rugby Cup (ERC), which has an agreement with the clubs running until 2014
- English and French clubs have given two years' notice they intend to withdraw from the competitions when the agreement expires in 2014
- They argue that clubs in the RaboDirect Pro12 league, which covers Ireland, Scotland, Wales and Italy, have an unfair advantage in Europe
- Their argument is that, because the Pro12 has no relegation, teams can rest players for league matches to keep them fresh for European games
- Premier Rugby also says it can boost revenue for all clubs with its new deal
And an RFU statement has confirmed that it did not give approval for the deal.
Premier Rugby announced a £152m, four-year agreement with BT Vision on Wednesday.
The deal covers Premiership games from next season, but also includes a three-year arrangement for BT Vision to show live European matches involving leading English clubs.
But ERC, which is also responsible for the Amlin Challenge Cup, claimed it was the only organisation that could negotiate TV rights and announced a four-year deal with BSkyB, running until 2018.
There is, however, currently no agreement in place to continue the Heineken or Amlin Challenge Cups beyond 2014.
Premier Rugby claimed it had been given authority to sell the rights as part of an eight-year agreement with the RFU signed in October 2007.
But that version of events has been dismissed by the RFU, English rugby's governing body, which called for the Heineken Cup board to find a compromise when it meets in Dublin on Tuesday.
"The RFU will continue to liaise with all stakeholders in order to help reach a conclusion which benefits all," said an RFU statement.
The TV dispute
- BT: Premier Rugby says BT has exclusive rights to broadcast Premiership matches from next season, and European games involving Premiership sides in the UK from the 2014-15 season
- Sky: ERC says Sky has exclusive rights to broadcast European games in the UK from the 2014-15 season
"While the RFU has not given consent to Premiership Rugby to grant European broadcasting rights, we believe it is important to work with them and with all parties involved to find common ground.
"We anticipate that this process will begin at the ERC stakeholder meeting on Tuesday, September 18."
English and French clubs announced during the summer that they planned to withdraw from the Heineken and Amlin Challenge Cups when the current agreement governing the competitions expires in 2014.
But the planned move is seen as a negotiating tactic to push through changes to the way in which European rugby union's leading club cup competitions are run.

15th September 2012 - 17:20The argument of no relegation in the Rabo is a load of bulls manure, only the top 3 of the 4 Welsh teams qualify for H cup, the bottom one even if they ended up 4th in Rabo would go into Amlin.
This is more about a bigger slice of the pie to pay the outlandish wages some so called rugby stars in PL are getting. -
Comment number 56.
15th September 2012 - 16:08Shocking behaviour from England & France. There is absolutely nothing wrong with this competition. Don't remember the English sides complaining when Leicester and Wasps were dominating. Likewise France with Toulouse...
Comment number 55.
15th September 2012 - 16:05Interestingly, in terms of world rugby it is England and France who are out of step by continuing to organise rugby around privately owned clubs. NZ, Aus and SA have all gone down the road of union run provinces. That being the case its unlikely that the IRB will look on this as a welcome development.

15th September 2012 - 14:45Sack the RFU. They have their heads stuck further up the backside of Europe than our MPs. And thats saying something.
Comment number 53.
15th September 2012 - 14:35These English and French businessmen are using an utterly disingenuous lie to attempt to change the rules of the Hcup, solely so they can stack the deck before the cards are dealt.
This line about relegation is a joke and no-one is buying it. What these arrogant, conceited and condescending money-men are doing to the game is absolutely disgusting and there needs to be consequences for them. -
Comment number 52.
15th September 2012 - 12:53There is a lot of legal confusion.
It is unclear whether ERC have right to negotiate HC rights for all for next 4 years but...PR have withdrawn from HC from 2014 so obviously ERC cannot be negotiating HC rights for PR clubs
Not clear if RFU or PR have right to negotiate ANY european matches. Looks like PR but without docs we cannot be sure.
We need facts not posturing -

15th September 2012 - 8:47What a shameful mess created by all parties involved. Staggeringly amateurish way to run a professional business.

15th September 2012 - 0:47Also Bob, this is a dangerous precedent the PL is setting.
In, let's say 5yrs, Leicester are getting 16K home attendance and €30M revenue to spend. If they decide to negotiate their home games on their own, what happens then to the weaker and less well off teams in the PL?
I'd imagine at least half the PL teams would tell them to go, and refuse to play them. No games = no TV games/money. -

15th September 2012 - 0:32Bob
The sponsors provide the money, not the clubs.
Yes, that is due to the population size of Eng/Fea.
But that doesn't matter if the other teams don't play them, and not just in club competition. Eng/Fra will go backwards without the other 4nations.
If equality is want they want, then introduce a salary cap of 5M per team, and they will get want they want. Equality for all??? -
Comment number 48.
15th September 2012 - 0:28@41 Bob 0ver 10k at Ravenhill tonight, I don't think that is a small attendance. Granted you don't get the same turnout at an Treviso V Ulster match, but flights are more expensive from Ireland to Italy than a train from Northhampton to London. I.e low attendances are down to geographic factors. Out of interest do you watch the Pro 12?
Comment number 47.
15th September 2012 - 0:12Veejay the Welsh struggle to sell the game in their caprial as do the Scots. Why london clubs apart from Quins aren't in London is down to poor club management as there's appetite for rugby in London as the double headers show.
The rest of the clubs play in the traditional rugby hotbeds of England. Rugby is not the English national sport like it is in Wales where there should be more top clubs. -
Comment number 46.
15th September 2012 - 0:02Munster bob you may want to read the other posts to understand why we are discussing attendance figues.
Of course money is a big factor in this with the French and English providing most of the funding for the Hcup yet gettng a slice of the revenue which is not representative of their contribution.
However they also want to face teams that have been playing in an equally competitive league. -

15th September 2012 - 0:0144.Bob
Then I apologise but we keep hearing about the great London sides like Saracens & Wasps (Actually called London Wasp but play in High Wycombe?, typical English lies there don't you think) I find it strange that most PR clubs are in such small towns & there isn't any presence in the larger cities. Can't sell the game or do the larger cities see through the small town mentality? -
Comment number 44.
14th September 2012 - 23:51I think you may have added a few extra zeros, the last time I checked, Watford had a population of 80,000. I would agree with you that the attendance is below the capacity of the ground but that is down to mismanagement by Saracens in choosig to play in Watford in the first place where less people support them.
Comment number 43.
14th September 2012 - 23:47Bob
Attendance figures have no baring on the issue.
You're believing lies spun by the powers in PL/T14.
This has little to do with how the Rabo is run, and more to do with money/power.
Any advantage the Rabo teams may have is nothing compared to the budget and player population advantage the Eng/Fra teams have.
Toulouse or Leicester have a greater budget than the 4 Irish provinces combined. -
Comment number 42.
14th September 2012 - 23:4641.Bob
Clearly not as Saracens must've fielded a weakened side that day because the attendance was so low. Are English rugby fans so fickle as to not suport their team if a few top players are not present. So you travel all the way to Welford Road and find Flood, Tuilagi and Youngs are not playing, turn around and go home? Unbelievable!! -
Comment number 41.
14th September 2012 - 23:38I have not said that because the average attendance is low in the celtic league that teams don't deserve to qualify for Europe. I said that low attendances were an indication of the fact that the celtic sides field weakened teams in their league and this detracts from the interest in the league. Thus the premiership are right to field strong lineups each weekend and make the league exciting.
Comment number 40.
14th September 2012 - 23:2638.Bob
Ok, so on I Jan 2012 Saracens drew a crowd of 7,550 in a city with a population of over 8m. that means that they only drew 1/1000th of the local support. Makes that Ospreys v Cardiff game a huge success don't you think?? -
Comment number 39.
14th September 2012 - 23:25Veejay you may want to learn some comprehension. You claimed that 10,500 at Bath was poor yet it was 1/8th of the population of Bath and a greater ration on a Friday than Cardiff vs Swansea on a bank holiday.
Leicester played Worcester on an average weekend which should be less of a draw than Swansea vs Cardiff on a bank holiday yet got a higher attendance and a higher ration of the population -
Comment number 38.
14th September 2012 - 23:15Veejay you may want to read my posts yourself. I was not talking about a Scarlets game, that was someone else, I am talking about Ospreys vs Cardiff on 1st January. As for the people of Llanelli, they seem to be the only ones interested in turning up from Wales. I know I have met a lot of them.

Yes, that is precisely the idea. It all gets implemented in one place,
and neither the host nor plugin authors have to worry about any of it.
This is the only solution where that is true. Making all the UI authors
deal with it (repeatedly, via half-assed solutions and copy paste code
duplication) is not a good solution.
People probably will start using these new toolkits, and it will Just
Work in all the host, for free, as soon as it's implemented here. This
is a Good Thing. (The same applies to a UI exposing a low level window

The point, that has been repeatedly missed (which is really starting to
get irritating), is that all this IMPLEMENTATION DETAIL has become just
that. The burden on you, as a host author, to worry about the "plethora
of combinations", has been removed. That burden has also been removed

Suppose Fltk plugin UIs do come along. Wonderful. Implement that in
Suil, and it will just magically work in e.g. Qtractor and Ardour with
zero changes required.
In short: Problem Solved.

No future tense required, there it is. Make it happen. If I had a Qt
host to test with right now, I'd make sure Gtk2-in-Qt4 actually works,
release, and that's that.
That said, I think I will just modify the SLV2 API accordingly so you
don't have to use Suil directly, so maybe wait a day (but switching
would be easy, and the sooner I have something to test with, the sooner
this problem is solved, so don't let that stop you).

DA reaches 4 million votes
Comment on this storyPretoria - The Democratic Alliance cheered as it hit the four-million mark in the national elections on Friday.
Just before 3.30pm, preliminary results showed the party had received 4 002 663 votes so far - 22.15 percent of the national vote.
In 2009, the party received 2 945 829 votes - 16.66 percent.
Leader Helen Zille and fellow party members at the Electoral Commission of SA's national result centre ululated as the numbers on the big blue result board changed.
"Uyatatazela... mshini wam, mshini wam (the machine is shaking in fear)," Zille sang in clear reference to President Jacob Zuma.
In 2007, Zuma became know for the song "mshini wam" (bring me my machine gun).

Our 20 acres has lots of maples, oaks, spruce, red & white pine, jack pine, basswood, aspen, so would like other types of trees to try my hand at. Particularly KY Coffee tree, tree lilac, Grancy Graybeard, and numerous others. Also bushes such as burning bush, barberry, bayberry, fruiting shrubs, flowering shrubs, etc. I'm willing to try pushing zone boundaries as an experiment. Anyone have any? what would you like in trade? In a couple of months, after the ground thaws here in northern MN, I'll have access to a nice variety of perennials at my old house and some bush cuttings. Please e-mail me as I don't always get back here to check for responses. I have an updated trade list, but it is still on paper. Computer died at home :( |

four years ago i bought 4 peony roots and gleefully planted them around my yard. they poked out of the ground about an inch the first year. the second year i clumsily maimed 3 out of 4 with my weedwacker and gave them up for dead. the third year, last year, they suffered through the drought and barely stuck their heads out of the soil. this year, they're big and all sporting BEAUTIFUL PINK FLOWERS!!! i'm thrilled to pieces!

Pat, go to photobucket and create yourself a new (free) account. Follow the steps to up load the pictures to their site (I think medium size is best - there is a place to tell it what size to reduce to). Once they are there, you'll see a list under each photo of various Codes. Completely copy the HTML Code, then paste into your garden web message box. When you are ready to preview your garden web message, you'll see the photos. It's probably better if you put the photos in a new photo thread. Sandi |

Roff Home to Host Open Houses in October 2014
Roff Home is pleased to announce it will host four open houses on the following dates in October, including Halloween:
This event is open to the public. No reservation is required. The cost is $7 per person, and the home will be open from 8 pm to midnight. All proceeds fund the ongoing renovation and restoration of the home.
End of an Era: Roff Home to Close on Nov. 1, 2015
After being open to the public for a decade, Roff Home will close its doors to public access on Nov. 1, 2015, returning to its original purpose of simply being a home. Although more than one year away, advance notice is being provided so those interested in experiencing the home may plan to do so.
Book Your Ghost Hunt!
The many investigations of the Roff Home over the past few years have yielded strange recordings, photos, video and personal experiences. Learn how your group can book a four-hour or overnight investigation.
On the Blog: Victorian Architecture & Historic Preservation
Completed in 1868, Roff Home is a Victorian home --- specifically, Victorian Italianate --- and the first brick private residence in Iroquois County, Illinois. Currently, Roff Home is undergoing extensive renovation to expose and renew its original Victorian detail. In 2014, the floors have been sanded and refinished and ceilings replaced.
Currently, interior walls and woodwork are being stripped of 150 years of paint and then repainted using the original Victorian color scheme the Roffs chose a century and a half ago.
Once this round of interior painting is finished, work will move outside in 2015 for exterior repainting and replacement of the original porch.
Your visit to Roff Home helps fund these restoration efforts.

Oct. 27 (Bloomberg) -- Singapore's stockpiles of middle distillates shrank to the lowest level in five months, data from the Ministry of Trade and Industry showed.
Onshore inventories of middle distillates, including gasoil and kerosene, fell by 11 percent to 11 million barrels in the week ending Oct. 26, the lowest since May 18, International Enterprise Singapore said in an e-mailed statement today.
Stockpiles of residues, a category that includes fuel oil and low-sulfur waxy residue and excludes bitumen, increased 5.1 percent to 18 million barrels, the highest since Sept. 28. Light distillates such as naphtha, reformate and gasoline rose 7.3 percent to 9.9 million barrels.
The trade ministry unit surveys refiners, oil companies and storage terminals on a voluntary basis. The results may exclude some offshore storage capacity, International Enterprise said.

The Craig Chamber of Commerce Board presented an idea Tuesday that could mark changes in the management of tourism funding in Moffat County.
At its regular Tuesday meeting, the Moffat County Commission heard a presentation from Chamber board member Gene Bilodeau asking the commission to allow the Chamber to oversee the county's 1.9-percent lodging tax.
Bilodeau also submitted a letter to the commission outlining the Chamber's goals and reasons for wanting to oversee the lodging tax fund currently managed by the Moffat County Tourism Association.
The proposal asks the commission to enter into a marketing agreement with the Chamber for two years so that "both entities can evaluate success and determine whether the model is desirable and sustainable."
"We would like to offer our services to the Moffat County Board of Commissioners in overseeing the lodging tax fund," the proposal reads. "The Chamber board of directors believes that in having this opportunity to serve the Moffat County Commissioners and residents, we could increase efficiency by avoiding a duplication of services and would align (the Moffat County) Visitor Center and marketing needs to the commissioners' goals."
The commission took no official action on the issue, but agreed to review the proposal and schedule a workshop with the Chamber to discuss the matter.
Bilodeau said the Chamber feels there are "untapped areas" in the community's promotion of tourism.
"We really believe there is a possibility here to not only take tourism, but the visitor center, to a place a lot of us from many different facets want it to be and believe it can be, which is a very solid force in the community and a very well-spoken group," he said. "We do believe it is almost unlimited what the visitor center and tourism can do in this community."
Bilodeau said the Chamber is also concerned about how many people want to be on the MCTA board, its longevity and cohesiveness.
"We are concerned about what appears to be the inability of the board to work really strong all together," Bilodeau said. "It seems like there is different directions that different groups want to go and not that that's negative, but ultimately you need to move together as a mass to get stuff done."
Bilodeau said the Chamber "fully understands" there would be "pockets of resistance" to the idea of changing the management of the county lodging tax.
Commissioner Tom Gray agreed, noting it would be a "big change in the way things have always been done in the past."
"That doesn't mean it is bad, it just means it would be a big change and a lot of people do resist change, you know, just because it is change," he said.
Gray asked about a note in the proposal that stated similar arrangements are common in other communities. Gray requested Bilodeau investigate how other communities have made such an agreement work.
However, Gray said approving the Chamber's request could, in effect, dissolve the current MCTA board, but noted the details are still unclear.
"By statute, we created the lodging tax and we have to have a board, so I would assume that we would then designate the Chamber board as the tourism board, but that is just speculation," he said.
The Chamber also outlined what the commission could expect if the proposal moves forward.
According to the proposal, the Chamber would meet with the commission annually to discuss goals and report plans, and quarterly to discuss progress and accomplishments.
The Chamber would also meet regularly with tourism-related business leaders to "solicit input on the community's marketing needs and opportunities."
Commissioner Tom Mathers said he felt the idea held merit.
"I, for one, really appreciate that the Chamber is looking at this," he said. "To me, it's change. And, we all know the last change that we had over the last years hasn't been a good change.
"But, I can see where this might be a good change. I'm optimistic that we can sit down and talk about this."

Well, I'd rather see the Chamber working together with the Moffat County Tourism Association. It appears to me that polarization has increased in the tourism area through the two boards. Oppurtunities have come from both "poles" to combine facilities and ideals. But here has been no move away from hard worked ideals, desires, plans of either party to use all the talent that is available in order to help promote tourism in a coordinated effort. When you laugh or demean the other group you not only polarize each group even further apart, the credibility of each group, and person in the group falls.
Ask yourself; Did this polarization and credibility gap have anything to do with the lack of enthusiasm for the failed tourism tax? Well, did it?
justthefacts 3 years, 11 months ago
Fact: The chamber does not provide much value to the community now.
Fact:The Chamber would at least have a board of many business people providing input to how the money could market Moffat County, vs the constantly revolving MCTA Board that can't even pick a chairman without the Commissioners help.
Fact: The Chamber could almost show that it provides some worth to the community, ( Novel Idea!!!)
Fact: The MCTA and Chamber are constantly at odds.
Fact: The Chamber overseeing the money would help eliminate one conflct in the community, and one board, and one former and again present board member MS. Booker. ( Did nothing before, does nothing now!!!)
Fact: If the chamber would now take over the jail the world would be all rosey for the Commissioners. ( Tom Mathers little girl to the rescue!!!!)
Fact: Only room for one Queen at the County, wouldn't work!!!
Question: What would you get if you give money to a cash strapped organization that provides little now , by taking that money from another board, that proivides nothing except agony to the community that has been forced to watch the fiasco?
Answer: 2 x 0 = 0
Fact: You get ZERO
Just The stupid Facts ( This is almost even too stupid for me!!)

Conflict of Interest definition for those who always deny there aren't any conflicts in Moffat County or Craig America "…a public office holder is in a conflict of interest when he or she exercises an official power, duty or function that provides an opportunity to further his or her private interests or those of his or her relatives or friends or to improperly further another person's private interests";

So sorry I didn't get back to you all on the question about the Alaska picture! I just never seem to have time these days to follow-up on anything. Yes, it's Alaska. The photo was taken on a cruise of Glacier Bay. Truly one of the most amazing places I have ever been. It's a national park and a national treasure. Like the Grand Canyon, knowing about it from pictures and really knowing what it looks like in person are such different things that it's hard to describe. I honestly had no idea it would be so spectacular and beautiful. The full day at Glacier Bay made the entire trip worthwhile and we've talked about trying to figure out how to afford another visit! In the early morning when we entered the mouth of the bay it was solid fog/mist and you could only see small icebergs. But about 9am the fog started to lift - you can still see some of it in the photo - and we 'discovered' the surrounding mountains. Breathtaking. Kate |
I forgot about this one until I ran across it looking for something else. Light House rock in Palo Duro Canyon State Park in Texas. |

When it first opened the hospital had 600 beds and replaced numerous smaller sites including Acomb Hospital, City Hospital, York County Hospital, Deighton Grove Hospital, Fulford Hospital, Military Hospital and Yearsley Bridge Hospital.
The hospital serves a population of 500,000 in North Yorkshire. York Hospital now has over 700 beds and offers a range of inpatient and outpatient services, there are also two rehabilitation hospitals St Helen's and White Cross Court.
The hospital has a day unit department for day operations and operating theatres for more complex operations.

Ambulance service for the hospital is provided by Yorkshire Ambulance Service.
Other services[edit]
York Hospital works closely with Harrogate and District NHS Foundation Trust, Scarborough and North East Yorkshire Healthcare Services NHS Trust and Hull Teaching Hospital NHS Trust this enables cross site expertise in some of the specialities.
Some more specialist services are provided from other sites, renal dialysis is provided in Easingwold and Harrogate, and sexual health services are delivered in Monkgate Health Centre in York.
Psychiatric services are based at nearby Bootham Park Hospital.
York Hospital Radio[edit]
York Hospital Radio [1] was set up as a voluntary scheme in 1964 and has continued to develop since.
Since April 2011, it has provided 24-hour service via Hospedia[2] giving patients and staff entertainment and music through the day and night. It also provides some specialist shows, including live commentary from nearby York City Football Club.
Shops and eating[edit]
The hospital has comprehensive facilities including The Mallard restaurant providing food 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. There is also a shop in the main foyer, Amigo, selling a wide variety of products. In 2010 a Costa Coffee cafe opened replacing the highly popular WRVS cafe.
There are vending machines on site and a staff shop.
A private pharmacy - Healthcare at Home [3] opened at end of 2010, providing 7 days a week late night service for patients and residents of York.
There are also many stalls regularly located in the main foyer and restaurant, selling products on behalf of charities.

4 wowtommydaman | 20/12/2009 | See all tommydaman's reviews (4)wow never saw any trailers for this film but best iv seen in a long time go and buy you wont regret it
4 'what some will do to gain a legal status'rbmusicman | 25/06/2009 | See all rbmusicman's reviews (896)Top 100 Reviewer Top 100 DVD Reviewer Number 1 Music Reviewer Top 10 Office Reviewer the film is slow to get into it's stride, however when it does it becomes a pretty interesting watch, following the fortunes of several people from different backgrounds and including complete families all trying or hoping to be given 'american' citizenship.the corrupt methods used to make promises are highlighted in the film, the feeling of desperation that comes into play when families are cruely seperated.the film has many highs and lows within as it follows the lead applicants through the many trauma's involved.'harrison ford' plays a sypathetic immagration operative who's task is to seek out illegals.currently available on 'region' 1 dvd, worth a watch at least.
3 Fairly interestingginascottie | 12/05/2010 | See all ginascottie's reviews (15)Fairly interesting but not great. Its a film that you have to watch 100pc to be able to keep up with the story line as it is about several different families, so can be difficult to know whats going on, worth awatch but wouldnt buy this film.
3 Immigration & Customsnoms2000 | 25/11/2009 | See all noms2000's reviews (80)A look into the lives of different people from different cultures attempting to gain status in the USA. The movie shows the desperation and extremes that some immigrants will go to just to get a green card. Harrison Ford plays a decent immigration officer, looking to genuinely aid those in trouble. Good performances and a thought provoking storyline. Recommended.
2 Cross It OffReliantRobin | 31/05/2010 | See all ReliantRobin's reviews (13)Crossing Over follows a multitude of characters from different cultural backgrounds in their plight to be accepted as American Citizens - often by any means necessary. As the stories unfold there is corruption, bureaucracy and, inevitably, violence but precious little warmth. Harrison Ford, giving an earnest performance, heads the cast as immigration agent Max Brogan, investigating the disappearance of an illegal. In the hands of Paul Haggis, the acclaimed writer and director of Crash, this could have been a compelling and thought provoking look at serious issues. Sadly kramer's screenplay is far less accomplished. The main problem is that so many plot threads are introduced within 2 hours that most are underdeveloped and the movie as a whole becomes disjointed and ultimately unsatisfying.

Alternate ACCESS for ELLs
The Alternate ACCESS for ELLs (Assessing Comprehension and Communication in English State-to-State for English Language Learners) is Maine's assessment of English language proficiency (ELP) for students in grades 1-12 who are classified as English learners and have significant cognitive disabilities that prevent their meaningful participation in the ACCESS for ELLs® assessment.
All students identified as English learners must be assessed annually for ELP, including students who receive special education services. The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act also mandates that students with disabilities participate in statewide and district-wide assessment programs, including alternate assessments with appropriate accommodations, when it is documented in their Individualized Education Programs. For this reason, Maine uses the Alternate ACCESS for ELLs to meet federal accountability requirements and to provide educators with a measure sensitive to ELP growth of English learners with significant cognitive disabilities.
The Alternate ACCESS for ELLs testing window for school year 2014-15 is Dec. 1 through Jan. 30.
For more information about educating English learners, visit the Maine DOE English Learners site.

Director of ESL/Bilingual Programs

.- The U.S. government has increased funding for the the Community-Based Abstinence Education (CBAE) grant program by $11 million for 2006. Leslee Unruh, president of the Abstinence Clearinghouse, told the Dakota Voice that the decision was "a victory for America's children."
The increase was made to the appropriations bill by the House of Representatives Appropriations Subcommittee on Labor, Health and Human Services, Education and Related Agencies.
President George W. Bush had initially requested an increase of $39 million for abstinence education in his proposed budget. But Unruh said she is grateful for the $11-million increase in this year of fiscal restraint.
Unruh said the increased funding is "a clear mandate to improve the health of the next generation and abstinence education is the best way to do that."
The Abstinence Clearinghouse is a non-profit educational organization that promotes abstinence through distribution of age-appropriate and medically accurate materials.

Perhaps the media should consider its own highly catalytic role in fomenting nonstop uncivility in politics?
Your quote:
"The election will turn on which half votes, growled a businessman at a Romney rally in Colorado even before the video leaked: "[It's] just a matter of whether those dependent on government support outnumber those paying for them.""
That is a very interesting quote, showing precisely the same mistaken view of the electorate as Romney.
Do you have a source for this?
It's an anecdote, it's not exactly sourceable beyond the information given in the piece itself!
We seem to have the same mistaken view over here (on the other side of the Pond), where the consensus amongst my peers is that the tail frequently wags the dog.
"That is a very interesting quote, showing precisely the same mistaken view of the electorate as Romney.
Do you have a source for this?"
Actually, I'm more interested in a source for your notion that this view is "mistaken."
Not sure American culture will become very scarred from this election as much as it will become politically tone deaf.
I rather like the new Lexington.
Yeah, now if he'd just favor us with the occasional blog post....
I'm sure this sounds partisan, but I suspect the current hype from the GoP is fueled by big-business interests who are looking at demographic trends in the US and figuring this is their last best chance at locking in a system (including crucially the Supreme Court) that can suppress voter turnout among poor/young/minority voters, ramp up unlimited, anonymous campaign finance and guarantee themselves low taxes and low regulation for the foreseeable future. Quite a lot at stake for them.
You'd think that...
If you were completely oblivious to Obama's actions over the past four years, the big giveaway to the banks in the form of the financial legislation, and to the insurance industry in the form of health care "reform", the extension of the Bush tax cuts, the broken promise to raise the minimum wage, and on and on and on.
Just like only Nixon could go to China, only Obama could get away with Bush's third term and validate his most heinous actions in the eyes of the left.
Yes, your statement does sound partisan. And no, there's not a lot at stake here. Whoever wins, America loses.
Gerrymandered districts account for some of the increased polarization in the House of Representatives. The proliferation of news and opinion outlets has probably contributed to divergence of the public's views - people are increasingly able to calibrate their news and fact filters. Add to that assortive mating, socializing and housing and people are better able to live within a bubble with like-minded people. In the one place adults of differing views are likely to come in contact with one another - the workplace - people largely keep their political opinions to themselves. They express their political views largely (anonymously) on the internet and in the voting booth.
While there are some pretty-much universal values that all Americans share, there are also real and fundamental differences between the two major parties/camps (and the "independents" and small party loyalists who, for the most part, reliably make common cause with one major party or another). People are passionate about what they feel they should owe to the state/society and what it owes them.
Divide and conquer is how they play. Victory at any cost.
Tell 'em often enough that, "The other side is evil!" and they will believe. A people that places polls over humanity is at risk of cultivating a real indifference to the "others" and becoming ripe for strife.
We may not have to wait for 2020 when some are predicting that major historical cycles converge to unleash the next major episode of civil unrest.
Are we witnessing the twilight of America's democracy?
Never mind...
Just give us that precious two-minutes hate...
as soon as you've pitched us that new soap, the new car or the new SmartPhone...
I think it really is different this time. The difference is not so much the desire of each side to tear down the other in order to gain some electoral advantage - that desire is as old as the hills - but the nature of the audiences they are addressing.
As the media landscape has fragmented, it has become increasingly possible for people of to self-segregate into echo chambers. They hear what they want to hear and never hear the other side's argument. Research has shown (see recent pieces by C. Sunstein) that these echo chambers prove shockingly immune to the influence of facts and logic that do not support their current stance. This increases polarization and increases the emotional conviction that the other side is not only wrong, but evil.
The ability to retreat into comfortable echo chambers will, I am afraid, only increase over time. Hence we should expect to see more polarization, more us vs. them, and ever uglier campaigns.
I cannot convey just how worried for our future this makes me.
It's always been this way. Take for example the election of 1800. You can see in the below link the mudslinging that took place but even at the end of it all Madison and Jefferson consoled themselves and made peace. The funniest way I've found to measure our modern times is to listen to the old people. Countless times I've heard an old lady say something like, "you know that barak obama is a dissent good man but this country isn't communist."
That's at least my impression of peoples attitudes and one of the reasons that money, religion and politics are verboten. As for the election, as much as I really don't want to vote for Obama I'm nearing my compulsion point with listening to Mitt the Twit.
Conservative radio has been calling Democrats baby killers for decades now, in the constant chase for advertising revenue.
This time, IMHO, the only difference is that Democrats are finding a revenue stream in fighting back.
At every election time, correspondents and pundits fret about how expensive and indecent elections have become. Senior Bush painted Dukakis as being soft on crime and portrayed a convicted criminal, Willie Horton, as the problem with Democrats.
Get over it since America will get over this too. It just makes fodder for columnists (yes, including Lexington) to write about something.
I get where Lexington is coming from but really come on not a lot of people care and follow the election cycle that closely. Is this election any worst than the Willie Horton Ad or the Daisy Ad or doing the Andrew Jackson Presidential election people called his Wife bad names?
I suspect it really is different this time. For a start, there is much less common ground between the main parties. Back in 1988 there was no talk on the Republican side of outlawing abortion in all circumstances, bringing back the gold standard, or taking on adult pornography. Granted, a platform isn't a manifesto so much as a vehicle for mobilizing the base, but that's beside the point. The base has changed. And gay rights were nowhere to be seen in '88. And Democrats are more uncompromising than they were back then, a damn good thing given the distance the Republicans have moved the goalposts over the years (there, you see, I'm caught up in it myself). And healthcare delivery is likely to evolve in very different directions depending on who is elected. Also, a Republican president will be in a position to fix the balance of the Supreme Court more firmly to the right than ever. There isn't space here to talk about the politics of entitlement reform, but shrinking the pie is always a contentious business. So the stakes are much higher than in any recent election and, for a variety of reasons, the electorate is more polarized. This year, more people "care and follow the election cycle" than you seem to suppose.
Maybe your right but most people have decided who they going to vote for and we may actually hit 60% voter turn out(Although I will grant you Republican voter suppression is out there).
All the topics you bring up are valid.
But we need common purpose as a nation of individuals. Not a parliament system with everyone focused on the next election cycle.

The ruble snapped four days of declines and yields on Russia's international debt fell as oil, the country's main export, advanced and tax payments boosted the currency.
The Russian currency appreciated 1.2 percent to 32.92 per dollar by the close in Moscow, the biggest gain since June 6, paring its quarterly depreciation to 12%. The country's $3.5 billion of Eurobonds due 2020 rose, lowering the yield by 13 basis points, or 0.13 percentage point, to 3.778 percent.
Brent crude advanced for a third day, up 0.3 percent to $91.36 per barrel, set for the highest closing price since June 20. Oil and gas make up about 50 percent of Russia's state revenue, according to the government's estimates. The ruble is being temporarily supported as exporters convert revenue from abroad to pay monthly taxes, according to Igor Akinshin, a currency trader at Alfa Bank in Moscow.
"Backed by rising oil, the ruble is appreciating modestly," Peter Neimyshev, head of foreign exchange at Otkritie Bank in Moscow, said by e-mail. The currency may appreciate a further 1.1 percent before correcting, he said and added the European "situation is far from stable."
The ruble gained 1.3 percent to 41.055 per euro and 1.2 percent to 36.5808 against the central bank's target dollar-euro basket. Investors pared bets on the currency weakening, with non-deliverable forwards showing the ruble at 33.4896 per dollar in three months, compared with expectations of 33.8195 per dollar yesterday.

In this handout image provided by UNHCR, UNHCR Special Envoy Angelina Jolie meets with refugees on the Jordanian border minutes after they crossed from Syria on September 10, 2012 in Amman, Jordan. With shelling clearly audible and visible across the border in Syria, some 200 refugees made the dangerous crossing under cover of night. Authorities estimate hundreds of families are fleeing the violence and seeking safety across the border every night.

June 8 (Bloomberg) -- Now that Microsoft, Apple and Google have been linked to a top secret government surveillance program, will the disclosure take a toll on the tech giants? On Sunday's Bloomberg Government's "Capitol Gains", Peter Cook talks with former Asst. Homeland Security Secretary and National Security Agency general counsel Stewart Baker and Bloomberg Government's Director of Technology Allan Holmes about the controversy. Baker says it's "clear" the program is legal, and the companies have no choice but to cooperate. Holmes says their foreign business could face the biggest fallout. (Source: Bloomberg)

So the year has almost passed now. What are your goals for 2012?
For me, it's the same one as all the previous years: Do more for school.
I failed this for at least 3 or 4 years in a row now, might as well go for it again. The only reason I passed all my classes so far is because I don't require much learning to pass. But I'm afraid that won't do now anymore.
