Associated Press
MONTGOMERY, Ala. - An advertising company has removed a highway billboard purchased by a Confederate organization advocating a Southern secession from the United States, the leader of the group said Monday.
The Confederate League of the South said Lamar Advertising Co. took down the billboard along Interstate 85 in Montgomery following complaints. The billboard had the word "secede" in capital letters, along with the group's name and website.
The sign went up Friday and was removed over the weekend, league president Michael Hill said.
"I checked my email Saturday and I had an email from Lamar Advertising saying they had gotten complaints and had other customers who were threatening to quit doing business with them if they didn't take it down," Hill said. "It was gone by mid-Sunday morning."
A Lamar Advertising executive did not return a message seeking comment. The league started an online petition asking the company to reinstall the billboard.
Hill said the company offered a refund, but that wasn't necessary since he had yet to pay.
The league advocates conservative positions and supports Southern states leaving the United States.
The Alabama-based group erected the same billboard in Tallahassee, Florida, and the Florida Chamber of Commerce and Independent Colleges and Universities of Florida responded last month by putting up a billboard nearby with the words, "Succeed Florida!"
Hill said the "secede" billboard cost about $2,000 in Florida, and he didn't have a problem with the Florida business group and the college organization putting up a response.
"We welcome the argument," Hill said. In Alabama, "it's a squelching of dissent issue."
Hill said the league next hopes to place the billboard northeast of Atlanta.

5.0 out of 5 stars For her pleasure...,
This review is from: For Her Pleasure (Paperback)
This has a few different story, all under the title of "what she..." (wants, craves, etc.) Each story is a different character who is in a different situtation but each story is tied together by a cohesive theme. I quite liked it. Another one I liked and would recommend Husband Swap and Roughing It: Two Dirty Stories.

5.0 out of 5 stars 5 blue ribbon Romance Junkies review,
C. Dionne "Chrissy Dionne" (Cloverdale, OREGON USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: For Her Pleasure (Paperback)
Travis "Mac" McKenzie, Ryder Sinclair and Kit Townsend have maintained a special friendship for most of their lives. Mac and Ryder left town for a while but now they've returned and they're interested in starting a more intimate relationship with Kit. Both men are interested in a threesome, but for Mac it's far more personal - he wants to be the one she comes home to every night.
Kit has never had a whole lot of trust in men, but since her attack six months ago she lives in constant fear. The only men she truly trusts, Mac and Ryder, have adapted a protective attitude toward her and she'd give anything to see their eyes filled with lustful intentions again. WHAT SHE WANTS is hot, sweaty monkey sex with her best friends without any romantic entanglements.
Mac's done his best to give Kit time to come to grips with her attack, but he's decided that he's not willing to wait any longer. After a nasty incident at the bar where Kit works she decides that she's tired of the games and sick of being scared. Kit finally admits to Mac that she wants him and Ryder. Plans are made to meet after she gets off work, but an unexpected note and a phone call throw her back into panic mode. She's forced to reveal what happened the night she was attacked and the fact that her assailant is stalking her. Kit's convinced that it has to be someone who knows them, but who?
WHAT SHE WANTS contains the perfect blend of sexually charged scenes, suspense, and emotional turmoil. I adored Mac, Ryder, and Kit's close-knit friendship and envied their `Three Musketeers' attitude.
Ryder has become uncomfortable with Mac and Kit - not because he doesn't enjoy being with them, but because he's come to realize that he's in love with Kit. While avoiding Mac and Kit, he's taken to hanging out with a stripper named Mia. They'd even considered becoming lovers but then realized that it would be a mistake and ended up getting drunk and exchanging sob stories.
Mac and Kit are living together as a couple and there's no doubt that they are in love but they've noticed that lately Ryder has been distancing himself. His absence from her life is hurting Kit. Ryder and Kit share the same sort of upbringing and she needs him to remain in her life.
Mac and Kit are going to the coast for the weekend and Mac called to invite Ryder along. He declines but later runs into Kit when he stops at the bar for a bite to eat. She convinces him to join them on their trip. Mac wants happily-ever-after with the white picket fence and two point five kids. Kit wants to be loved by her two favorite men. Ryder simply wants Kit. Is there any hope for any real resolution to their dilemma?
WHAT SHE NEEDS is a highly emotional roller coaster of a story which will have readers smiling and cheering the characters one moment and crying the next. If you weren't already in love with Ryder, Mac and Kit from WHAT SHE WANTS this story is sure to endear them to you.
Mia Nichols has been in love with Jack for as long as she can remember. He saved her from a life of pain and anguish and assumed the role of her guardian while making sure that her needs were met - all except for her need for him.
Jack Kincaid is fourteen years older than Mia. He met her when he took down her father during a drug bust. Jack's been looking out for her and trying to tamp down his attraction to her ever since.
Mia's desire for Jack forces her into taking drastic action and using the spare key he'd given her to his home to join him in his bed while he's sleeping. Jack doesn't have the heart to turn her away and he doesn't regret spending the night with her. Jack's a possessive man and he has no intention of letting Mia go but she may not like what `belonging' to him entails. They agree to talk about it tomorrow but before they have time for a serious discussion, Jack receives a phone call and disappears from Mia's life. Two years later, Jack is back in Dallas but by then Mia is long gone. His friend Kenny offers the first hope of finding her when he drops the bombshell that Mia is a stripper in a hole-in-the-wall town. Instinctively Jack knows that something is very wrong, stripping isn't the sort of thing she'd be doing willingly. Once again Jack's going to go to Mia's rescue and this time he has no intention of letting her go - ever.
WHAT SHE CRAVES is action packed from beginning to end. It's very easy to lose yourself in these characters and their situations and you'll quietly cheer their stamina and determination to triumph over the dangerous situation which Mia's unwillingly involved.
Maya Banks became a must read author for me after I read her very first book SEDUCING SIMON. Her storylines are always full of emotional situations, lovable characters, and kick butt storylines that will leave you desperate for more. FOR HER PLEASURE is a powerful anthology which will take readers into the lives of Mac, Ryder and Kit as well as Mia and Jack. Each story flows seamlessly into the next for a genuinely enjoyable book full of all the passion, excitement, and suspense I've come to expect from Ms. Bank's storylines. I highly recommend FOR HER PLEASURE for readers who like spicy romances with a suspenseful element - it's definitely a must read!

Originally written on Mets360.com | Last updated 11/13/12
Compared to the 2009 draft, the 2010 draft seemed to have more general talent in it. Additionally the 2010 draft was simply a wiser and better used draft for the Mets in general. The usually doubts about who the Mets could have had are less clear but right now, at least, it doesn't look like the team did poorly at all. Winners: Matt Harvey (Future Ace) Cory Vaughn (Powerful and solid fielding corner outfielder) Matt Den Dekker (Powerful and solid fielding centerfielder who K's WAY too much) Jacob DeGrom (Solid workhorse starter) Akeel Morris (Still raw with great potential) Adam Kolarek (Future LOOGY) Ryan Fraser (In the future bullpen discussion) Hamilton Bennett (In the future bullpen discussion) Josh Edgin (Probable high-leverage reliever in 2013) Losers: Blake Forsythe (Doesn't seem to have the hitting chops we expected) Greg Peavey (Stumbled HARD in AA) Jeffrey Walters (Progressing too slow to be of use) Kenneth McDowall (Released) The Winners list is pretty ...

Signs of the Zodiac
PISCES (February 20-March 20)
The Fish. Ruling planet: Neptune. Element: Water. Quality: Creativity. Ability: Understanding. You are the romantic dreamers of the zodiac. As with Aquarius, some of you more go-getter types might prefer to go back and read the Capricorn section, but the sensitive ones can stay here (there are two distinct types of Pisces). You have the ability to visit the Muses and bring back a fine creativity.Unlike the other signs of the zodiac, you possess no singular energy of your own; rather, you are a combination of all of the signs. Because you have an overwhelming desire to merge consciously or unconsciously, you intuit what others need from you and you act accordingly. The compassion and understanding that is your ultimate gift can sometimes be problematic until you have learned how to define yourself.

The D.C. United MLS team is located in the nation's capital in Washington, D.C. The team is
regarded as one of the most successful MLS franchises in the league's history as they have
won 12 domestic and international titles despite a minimal home field advantage from lack of
United tickets sales. Of their 12 titles they hold the record for most MLS Cup and Supporters'
Shield titles, winning each four times as of 2012. The club has also ventured out of the United
States and has competed in international leagues in South America.
D.C. United was one of the first 10 teams in league, and played in the league's inaugural match
vs. the San Jose Clash. D.C. United was one of the most successful teams in the league early on
as they won the first ever MLS Cup even though they were in the bottom half of the league in
attendance figures as they averaged only 15,000 United tickets sold per home game and had a
very minimal home field advantage.
One of the factors leading to a low number of United tickets sold is the fact they were, and still,
playing in a non-soccer specific stadium. With the ability to only sell 19,467 United tickets per
home game they team was always limited in their ability to make a profit off ticket sales. The
most press United ever got as a soccer team came in 2003 when they announced the signing of
14 year old star Freddy Adu and later selected him first in the 2004 MLS SuperDraft.
D.C. United tickets are sold at RFK Stadium, which was built as a multi-purpose stadium and was
used as the home field in the past to the Washington Redskins of the NFL and the Washington
Nationals of the MLB. At full capacity the stadium would usually be able to support 46,000
fans, but when converted for soccer it only allows the team to sell just over 19,000 United
When the stadium was home to the Redskins, Nationals, and United, it had a complex
conversion cost of $46,000 every time it was changed for a different sport. This conversion
happened a total of 20 times in 2005 as it was switched between soccer and baseball mostly.
RFK Stadium, along with many other professional sports venues, does more than just sell
United tickets; it also holds international sporting events and many non-sporting events.
The most notable soccer matches held at RFK were some of the 1994 Men's FIFA World Cup
matches along with some 2003 Woman's FIFA World Cup matches.
RFK Stadium was built long ago in 1961, because it is over 60 years old it has held many notable
non-sporting events. In the stadiums early years it held Beatles, Rolling Stones, and Jackson
5 concerts, all of which resulted in sell-outs. However, since the times of concerts and special
events, RFK has not seen many sell-outs from soccer games as the team has only had three
years where they averaged a sellout of United tickets throughout a whole season, the most
recent came in 2008 when the team won their most recent U.S. Cup.
10-20-14: Two regular season games remain on the D.C. United schedule against Tauro FC and Montreal. The team has played to a 17-9-7 record since starting its season in March and has earned first-place honors in the Eastern Conference, a huge turnaround from last year's forgettable record of 3-24-7 where they finished in the basement of the Conference.

Mr Right Wing, on 22 January 2013 - 06:53 PM, said:
I realise many people are unemployed at the moment but I'm interested in how many of you lie on your CVs and to what extent -
Do you fabricate your qualifications?
Do you fabricate your software skills?
Do you fabricate your work history?
Do you fabricate your profile description to match the firms requirements?
Have you ever made an email account, pretended to be someone else and requested a reference from a previous employer to see what they write about you?
If they no longer have you on record have you lied about your job title, responsibilities and salary knowing you wont be caught?
If the business no longer exists have you made stuff up to make yourself an ideal applicant for a position?
Have you ever got a friend or family member to pretend to be a boss so you can write out your own references?
Spill the beans!
Will Mr Right Wing finally confess? Stay tuned lol
As for me no..I don't see the point... too much to remember I have it in my head that if I took a chance and lied on a CV, what if the person interviewing knows more about the qualifications you pretended to have and quizzes you? Like IE -The college, he or she could have attended there? You don't know what can happen Same with job experience ..I feared them finding out one way or another... To sum up I am too chicken to do it lol
I would have trouble making up fake emails for a forum if I wanted multi ID;s, that would put my head astray, trying to remember all the different passwords.. Too much hassle... I stick with two emails, and only one of those I use and never changed ..

Researchers at the University of Illinois at Chicago Institute for Health Research and Policy have received a $2.2 million federal grant to determine whether or not TV food advertising affects children's diet, physical activity and weight.
The four-year project, funded by the National Cancer Institute, is unique because it will separate out the effect of food advertising from the amount of time that children watch TV.
"A number of studies have shown that increased TV watching is associated with higher weight outcomes among kids, but they haven't been able to determine whether or not this is directly due to the type of ads children see," said Lisa Powell, research professor of economics at UIC and lead scientist on the study.
Watching television may also contribute to obesity because children are sedentary and likely to snack while they watch TV.
The research, Powell said, can provide important information for policymakers and public health advocates about the potential effectiveness of regulating television food advertising to children and using TV media campaigns as policy tools for improving these health outcomes.
Previous research conducted by Powell and her colleagues showed that 98 percent of food-product ads viewed by children ages 2 to 11, and 89 percent of those viewed by adolescents ages 12 to 17, were for foods high in fat, sugar or sodium.
The current study is the first to combine food, beverage and restaurant ad ratings and nutritional data with individual data on obesity to analyze the relationship between product exposure, nutritional content of ad exposure, and food consumption, diet quality and obesity, according to the researchers.
The study will also examine the relationship between exposure to health promotion ads -- those that encourage eating fruits and vegetables or getting regular physical activity -- and individual behaviors related to diet, activity and weight outcomes.

Extremely Rare 1968 No S Dime, PR68 Cameo1968 10C No S PR68 Cameo PCGS. The 1968 and 1975 No S proof dimes are arguably the rarest of all 20th century dimes. At first they resemble a Philadelphia coin, but proofs were not struck in that mint in 1968. The San Francisco Mint closed after 1955 and reopened in 1968 with proof coinage produced there. Occasionally proof coins are seen without a mintmark, and these pieces bring enormous premiums. More than 3 million proof dimes were struck in 1968, and in his 1988 reference Breen estimated that "about 6 (are) known." Since that time a few more have surfaced, but probably no more than 12-14 pieces are known today without the S mintmark. Only 16 pieces have been certified by the two major services both as non-cameo and cameo coins (no Deep Cameo pieces have been graded). In order to solve the No S problem, beginning in 1985 the Mint in Philadelphia placed the S mintmark on each year's master die for proofs. This has proved an effective deterrent as only one mintmark-free issue has occurred since (the 1990 No S cent).
This is an outstanding example of this key issue. Brilliant throughout, the fields are deeply mirrored. The devices are lightly, but noticeably frosted, which provides a significant cameo contrast against the depth of reflectivity seen in the fields. This is a rare opportunity for the specialist to add this issue to a set of Roosevelt dimes; and, of course, such a high grade coin as this will be of interest to the Registry Set collector.

Matt Garza suffers oblique strain during dominant start against the Cardinals
Aug 3, 2014, 6:35 PM EDT
Matt Garza curiously left Sunday afternoon's ballgame after shutting the Cardinals out on one hit over six innings. He had accrued only 71 pitches, so the early exit prompted speculation that the right-hander suffered an injury.
Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports that Garza strained his left oblique. He will be examined further to determine the severity. Oblique injuries are, as Haudricourt describes them, "tricky", so it wouldn't be surprising if Garza needed to skip his next start. In the event Garza needs a stint on the disabled list, Marco Estrada would likely return to the rotation.
Including today's sterling outing against the Cardinals, in which the Brewers lost 3-2, Garza has a 3.58 ERA and he now owns a 104/43 K/BB ratio in 145 2/3 innings.

- chitownbullet - Aug 3, 2014 at 8:21 PM
Matt Garza the glass man! It was only a matter of time.
- SocraticGadfly - Aug 3, 2014 at 8:33 PM
And, why doesn't Baer have up a blog post yet about the top story from the game, as in Lackey going 7 strong for the win in his first game as a Cardinal?
- jimmyt - Aug 4, 2014 at 8:57 AM
Not to worry. The Cardinals are coming tra la, la, la.
And there is nothing anyone can do to stop it.
- cincinata - Aug 4, 2014 at 10:53 AM
Because that was not the top story. The story was ONE hit in 6 innings, then the injury which caused the game to be lost. If Garza was not hurt, they probably would have won the game 2 to NO. That's WHY!
- uwsptke - Aug 4, 2014 at 4:34 PM
Exactly. But you must consider that this guy, like most Cards fans, see the world as revolving around them.
- dean112263 - Aug 3, 2014 at 8:54 PM
Double whammy. Garza was pitching well last several starts. Then you get Estrada who is abysmal this season. He was leading the league in HRs given up.
- cincinata - Aug 4, 2014 at 10:51 AM
The only problem is this, With this type of injury, they will not know until sometime today or tomorrow how bad it is. No one can throw with this and it must be healed completely before one starts a rehab. No matter what the Brewers say, this guy could be out for weeks. I suppose they will tell us later how bad this injury is. Then we will know if he misses one start or many more. Too bad he was doing a good job for them.

Actress Katrina Kaif says the first thing she think of when she is thirsty is plain water.
The 28-year-old promotes mango drink Slice, but when asked what she turns to when she is thirsty, she told IANS: "The first thing is water!"
"But when you're looking for something that gives you energy, have something and craving for something different that's where Slice comes into the picture. It's a little more than just something to drink," she added.
Considering that the actress is so fit, how come she promotes a drink, which could be sugar-loaded in nature.
"That was always a concern for me, that is why I did look into it before I signed the brand. But I think the good thing is that they are doing a good job in keeping that part in check," said Katrina.

Organizers planned for the hot, summer day. They pitched a tent and had water on hand for athletes.
One player, Dough Allsup, isn't competing this year, but he says in past tournaments he experienced heat stroke.
"A few years ago, I hyperventilated in the heat," he remembered. "You get kind of lightheaded. It's kind of hard to think and concentrate."
The United States Tennis Association (USTA) says they are making sure everyone is staying cool and safe.
"We're always making sure that we're seeing if people are sitting upright and having no problems," said Lisa Mushett, USTA Spokesperson.
Organizers are also keeping a close eye on the tennis courts. The heat can make the surface so hot, it can melt and move. That hasn't happened yet, but they are watching for it to make sure the court is safe for players.
The tournament continues all week.

RIVERSIDE, Calif. For his outstanding contributions to entomology, Bradley Mullens, a professor of entomology at the University of California, Riverside, has been elected a fellow of the prestigious Entomological Society of America (ESA), the largest organization in the world serving the professional and scientific needs of entomologists and people in related disciplines.
This year, Mullens and only nine others were elected to this honor. They will be recognized at the ESA's annual meeting in Reno, Nev., in November 2011.
"It is very gratifying to see Brad's hard work and dedication to veterinary and medical entomology recognized in this way by the ESA," said Rick Redak, the chair of the Department of Entomology. "Brad is a recognized world leader in the area of controlling and managing those insects that bring harm to our domestic animals, and the Department of Entomology is both pleased and proud that he has received this tremendous honor."
Mullens received his B.S. in agriculture (animal science) and M.S. in agricultural biology (entomology) from the University of Tennessee, and his Ph.D. in entomology from Cornell University. He works in veterinary entomology, particularly on biting midge vectors of bluetongue viruses to ruminants (e.g. cattle and desert bighorn sheep), fly pests of poultry and dairy systems, poultry ectoparasite control, and host-ectoparasite relationships.
"It is a unique honor to be elected a fellow of the ESA," Mullens said. "Honestly, it probably wouldn't have happened if I weren't at UC Riverside. We have ten ESA fellows active in our Entomology department right now, out of only 248 scientists who have received this honor since 1934. It is an inspiration ev

John Heathcoat, Loughborough and English Heritage
Posted on 18/04/2008
A. Jarram
Whilst consulting the list of listed buildings in Loughborough and the rest of Charnwood It was quite obvious that the House owned by Lace-master John Heathcoat at the time of the 1816 Luddite attack on his factory was missing from the listings.
The discovery of a tunnel, in 2006, secreted under a slate shelf, in what would have been a cellar cupboard, further added to the buildings importance. The tunnel of approx 2 6" square section curving through 90 degrees led to a sealed tiny brick-lined room. The room contained a breach in its roof covered by a rough hewn sandstone slab. It was through this void that the room was discovered by workmen working on plumbing and electrical wiring under the floorboards of the Victorian extension to this Georgian House. When constructed the room would have been under the garden. The breach was probably caused by accident probably at the time of the extension.
To address the balance an attempt was made by a Loughborough resident and amateur local historian Tony Jarram to apply to have the house listed but on the advise of English Heritage the Department of Culture Media and Sport have refused listing of the property.
The English Heritage recommendation was based on the report of their advisor
An appeal has been raised against the listing as Tony feels that the advice received does not take a number of factors into consideration.
To fully understand the importance of this building, it is necessary to study events in the town in the period 1808 to 1816.
John Heathcoat was the inventor of the Bobbinet lace making machine that replicated the hand made lace net. This machine revolutionised the industry. This machine had been developed in both Kegworth and Nottingham. Heathcoat then moved to Loughborough and with John Boden set up a lace making factory containing 55 of his new lace making machines nicknamed "Old Loughboroughs".
These machines were patented and Heathcoat and he charged royalties on anyone else who operated them setting them. Most were in Nottingham, where concern at the additional on cost was eroding profits. It is thought this was the reason that a group of machine-wreckers known as Luddites, probably paid by the Nottingham lace masters, attacked Heathcoat and Bodens Loughborough factory in Mill street, the present day Market Street. The factory site is now occupied by Iceland and Poundland.
At the time of the attack in 1816 John Heathcoat owned the house at No.38 Leicester Road, for which listing is being sought. It is thought by some historians that John Boden lived at No.40 Leicester Road.
At the time of the attack Boden was in Loughborough but Heathcoat was in Tiverton Devon eyeing up a woollen mill, where post the Luddite attack, he would re-establish his lace-making operations.
The move to Tiverton may have been partially due to the threat of Luddite attack, but also the inadequate supply of water from the Woodbrook to drive powered machinery,the "New Loughboroughs", that Heathcoat was developing.
English Heritage in their report to the Department of Culture Media and Sport say that the association of the tunnel and cellar features with Luddite activity in Loughborough is based on supposition, and is not corroborated by any other evidence. Moreover, the present building, beneath which the tunnel and cellar lie, appears to be of a later date.
The connection with Luddite activity, as described, is irrefutable. Heathcoat was in Loughborough 1808-1816 The Luddite attack was in 1816 at John Heathcoats Factory in Loughborough. That is pretty simple to connect.
The secret room being under the later extension is clearly because the extension was built over the subterranean features, probably causing the hole in the roof of the Priest hole type secret room in the process.
Nobody will ever be able to prove that the tunnel and room were dug by Heathcoat to protect him and his family from Luddite attack says Tony but nobody has managed the find any other explanation for the unique feature.
English Heritage comments, in their report relating to the architectural quality of the building is not contested. Alterations to the ground floor spoil the original Georgian layout. The architectural significance of this site, however, is the underground features that are not only locally but also nationally unique. It is the tunnel and secret room that make this building unique.
The building has been given a 'Blue Plaque' by Charnwood Borough Council, the only building in Loughborough with such recognition.
English Heritage in their report, says Tony, have not given a very en-lightened assessment of this building. He adds that, historic buildings in Loughborough in generally are not getting the protection they deserve. He identifies two warehouses that experts advised were not of significant importance that were swept away during the Loughborough Wharf development. He adds even some buildings on the local listings are in a terrible state.
The appeal against the failure to list Heathcoats house has been lodged with the Department of Culture Media and Sport.
In concussion Tony says English Heritage have got this one so very very wrong
Photographs of Locally Listed and Statutory Listed buildings in Charnwood and Loughborough are being collected by members of inLoughborough in the photograph albums

There are plenty of fine private schools which are not accredited. But the fact that they are not accredited means that you and I have to do a lot more basic due diligence as we evaluate unaccredited schools. Many of the foundational issues which an accreditation process covers in great detail now become our responsibility to investigate. Think of this investigation just like the inspection which you commission when you put an offer on a house. The house looks perfect. But is its infrastructure perfect? Are there flaws which are not readily apparent? The inspector's report will reveal the good and the items which need fixing. That's basically how accreditation works. The properly executed accreditation process celebrates the school's good points and offers suggestions for fixing what is deficient.
Does Accreditation Matter for College Admissions?
Some experts claim that it doesn't matter much whether or not a high school or school district is accredited. The issue surfaces any time a school or a school district loses its accreditation or is threatened with its loss. The truth of the matter is that accreditation is just one piece of the admissions profile for candidates. I was unable to find any examples of a college rejecting an otherwise well-qualified candidate simply because she had the misfortune to graduate from a school which had lost its accreditation. [Source: Maureen Downey in AJC.com blogs]
The accreditation process for a private school is a thorough review of all the things which matter to you and me as parents. We want to know that the academics are sound and that the school is managed properly. Accreditation intrinsically implies that all the necessary due diligence has been done. That should give us peace of mind especially when we are looking at schools about which we know very little. That seal of approval which institutional accreditation gives is very important to us.
Parental Due Diligence
Most of the time we parents focus on how we feel about the school subjectively. Is it a good fit for your child? Does it offer enough AP courses? Is the sports program varied enough? Questions like these are at the top of our list. These are important questions to which we need answers. But the kind of questions which the accreditation process covers examine the nuts and bolts of a school's operation and vision in far greater detail than we could ever hope to do. Who has the time and energy to do all that investigating?

What is Accreditation?
"Accreditation is an external, objective validation of school quality and student achievement that fosters continuous school improvement." [Source: Middle States Association]
A school which wishes to be accredited applies to the regional association as a candidate for accreditation. That sets in motion a multi-year process involving a self-study by the institution together with a final revew and report to the accrediting association. The self-study follows procedures and processes set forth by the accrediting commission. It is thorough, detailed and a blueprint both for accreditation and future success.
How to Check Accreditations
There are two ways to check whether a school is accredited or not. Most schools will proudly list their accreditation on their web sites and other publicity materials. The second way of confirming information about a school's accreditation status is to visit one of the accrediting organization sites listed at the end of this article.
The New England Association of Schools and Colleges offers some excellent suggestions on how to find the right school for your child. The accreditation process gives parents confidence that they are making the right choices for their children's education. A private school education requires a substantial financial investment over a period of up to thirteen years assuming your child goes to private school from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade. A private school education should ideally be a continuous good experience from the early childhood years right on through high school.
Schools which belong to the following associations frequently seek regional accreditation. These schools hold a dual accreditation, one with the specialist association and the other with the regional association. This offers parents an additional measure of comfort because they know that the school meets the spcialist standards, for example, of the Waldorf Schools, as well as the standards of the regional accrediting association.
- The Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI)
- The Association of Waldorf Schools of North America (AWSNA)
- Catholic Dioceses
"Accreditation fosters stakeholder involvement and commitment by providing opportunities for greater involvement in charting the direction and future of the school. Accreditation offers a mechanism to involve constituent groups in creating a vision of the future, not just allowing it to happen." [Source: Commissions on Elementary and Secondary Schools: Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools]
Obviously in a short piece like this one I am skimming the surface of the subject. However, to me the above statement says what I as a parent want to hear, namely that my involvement as a stakeholder is wanted and appreciated. Indeed it is vital to the accreditation process. That is one of the fundamental reasons why I would send my child to a private school. My voice will be heard. We won't just be another number. When your child attends private school you become a partner in the education process. The school, you and your child are partners - stakeholders - in her schooling.
by striatic
Accreditation then is important to us parents. Accreditation gives us the assurance that an independent, objective peer review of the school has been performed in the past, indeed, in many cases, probably quite a few times. Accreditation reassures us parents that the school has a plan in place to achieve its vision and attain its objectives.
Accreditation is one more box we parents should be able to check as we review schools which we feel might be a good fit for our requirements.

NEW YORK — ABC is cutting its aging "Dancing With the Stars" back to two hours and one night next season, creating a slot for a new drama series based on the Marvel Comics world that's aimed at expanding the network's audience, its programming chief said Tuesday.
Condensing the celebrity dancing contest on Monday night "opens up Tuesday for a pretty aggressive play," said Paul Lee, ABC Entertainment Group president, whose network became the third of the major broadcasters to announce its 2013-14 schedule. The network's entire Tuesday lineup for the fall is made up of new series.
"Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.," from hit-maker Joss Whedon of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and "The Avengers" films, will help broaden the audience for ABC, which is the network leader among young adult women, Lee said. The comic-book based series presumably will attract some younger men to the network. "Dancing With the Stars" is big with older women.
The celebrity dancing contest, although still a ratings winner for ABC in its 16th season, has seen its overall audience decline and grow older, an issue for networks that get higher commercial ad rates for younger viewers.
Asked about how he felt putting "S.H.I.E.L.D." on at 8 p.m. Tuesday against TV's top-rated drama, "NCIS" on CBS, Lee said the ABC drama will draw a different audience and has a built-in fan base from the Marvel franchise.
Among the other new dramas are "Once Upon a Time in Wonderland," a spinoff from the fairy tale series "Once Upon a Time," and the Stephen Spielberg-produced "Lucky 7," about a group of gas station employees who win the lottery.
Lee also touted the network's new comedies, especially "Super Fun Night," written by and starring "Bridesmaids" breakout star Rebel Wilson as a single young attorney, and "The Goldbergs," about a geeky preteen growing up in the 1980s who puts his family's antics on videotape.
ABC is introducing a total of 14 new shows next season, following other networks that also have hefty freshman programming slates: Fox said Monday it's adding 11 new shows and is making its largest financial investment ever, and NBC said it would introduce 17 new series.
ABC will take a less traditional approach to scheduling, Lee said, breaking some of its series into two sets of 12 episodes with a break between them to avoid airing repeats. The gap will be filled by limited-run shows, including dramas, he said.
His competitors also plan to make use of "event series," the new label for the once popular genre known as the miniseries. Fox said this week its plans include a limited-run return for "24" and the thriller "Wayward Pines" from filmmaker M. Night Shyamalan ("The Sixth Sense").
Other new ABC dramas include "Betrayal," about a photographer and her husband with political aspirations, with James Cromwell in the cast; "Killer Women," a Texas Rangers drama focused on a female ranger; "Mind Games," with Steve Zahn and Christian Slater as problem-solvers for hire; and "Resurrection," starring Omar Epps, about a small town where the dead return to life.
The new comedies include sitcom "Back in the Game," about a single mom and her estranged dad, played by James Caan; the singles sitcom "Mixology" and "Trophy Wife," starring Malin Akerman as a newlywed who gets a husband (Bradley Whitford) and three stepchildren.
Also on tap for next season is "The Quest," a reality series from producers whose credits include "The Lord of the Rings" and "The Amazing Race," and the special "Toy Story of Terror," which puts the characters from "Toy Story" on a scary road trip. Original cast members Tom Hanks and Tim Allen are among the voice actors.
The network's canceled series are "Body of Proof," "Malibu Country" and "Happy Endings," which Lee called a favorite but which failed to draw ratings.
The network is bringing back 10 current series including "Once Upon a Time," "Modern Family," "Scandal," "Grey's Anatomy," "Castle" and "Nashville." Moves are afoot for "Last Man Standing" and "The Neighbors," which will air on Friday.

Editor, Index-Tribune:
Last Tuesday, I attended the farmers market on the Plaza and just enjoyed myself thoroughly.
My husband and I walked around to our favorite vendors; he chose granola and humus and I found the freshest salad fixings and fruits.
We set up our chairs under the palm tree, saw our friends, bought dinner and calmly spent the evening.
The fine weather helped, of course, but I remember other good weather days when the market was a place I went on Tuesdays after work, just to pick up fresh produce and go home.

Thomson Reuters will suspend its practice of distributing results from consumer surveys a couple seconds early to clients who pay the news and business information provider for advance access.
A company spokeswoman said Monday that Thomson Reuters will simultaneously distribute survey data at 9:55 a.m. starting Friday from the University of Michigan Surveys of Consumers after the New York State attorney general requested the suspension.
The attorney general's office is investigating the early data access, and Thomson Reuters said it is cooperating with that review.
That twice-monthly survey is separate from the consumer confidence index produced by the private research group the Conference Board.
Thomson Reuters pays for exclusive access to the University of Michigan results, and some of its clients have been paying extra to receive the data two seconds before other clients receive it at 9:55 a.m. This allows high-speed computers to make trades before others gain access to the data.
Thomson Reuters then sends out a news release about the survey at 10 a.m.
Modern stock trading is dominated by automated computer systems that make trades in fractions of a second, and traders can profit from receiving data even milliseconds before its public release. Consumer sentiment regarding the economy is watched closely because consumers' spending accounts for about 70 percent of U.S. economic activity.
The attorney general's office said in a statement the two-second edge that Thomson Reuters gives to some high-frequency traders amounts to an unfair advantage as those traders "execute enormous volumes of trades in the blink of an eye."
Thomson Reuters said separately it "strongly believes that news and information companies can legally distribute non-governmental data and exclusive news through services provided to fee-paying subscribers."

text: Red Sox Looking For Young Catcher By Eli Greenspan , Senior Analyst Oct 26, 2008 Share Tweet Next ARTICLE » Use your ← → (arrow) keys to browse more stories 71 Reads 0 Comments The Red Sox will explore the market for a young catcher this offseason, in hopes of finding someone who can take over by 2011 or 2012 full time. The Red Sox could trade one of their better pitching prospects for someone like Jeff Clement, who could take over full time as soon as 2010. John Perrotto suspects the Red Sox will give Jason Varitek a two year deal, but I think they would be smart to trade for someone like Miguel Montero, who has a strong swing that could improve him numbers if he played in Fenway Park. Platooning Varitek and Montero would make for a solid tandem, especially if Montero finally breaks out at the plate. He has handled three aces very well (Haren, Webb, and Johnson) this season and is likely up for the challenge.Other options include Kelly Shoppach, Jarrod Saltalamacchia, and Ryan Doumit.This story was approved by MLB Rumors.

A few years ago I used Burt's Bees lip balms like crazy, but later I realized that they really aren't that great. The mint dries my lips out, and overall it is not that moisturizing at all. Smells great, but it's just too minty and drying for me. Not what I want in a lip balm.

I see why people like it but it's not for me. Minty balms and I do not mix. they irritate the crap out of my face. The texture is perfect, but pomegranate is where it's at.

Cant go wrong with this lip balm. It leaves my lips soft, plumped and moisterised for hours. Its got a waxy feel but once you apply it on your lips it glides on very smoothly. Its so easy to overapply this, i just love the soft feeling that it leaves!

I like that this isn't slippery, soft, or greasy like other lip balms. It's more of a hard, waxy texture and I can swipe it 3-4 times over my lips and it doesn't feel sticky or overly-applied. I love the peppermint and the tingle. Bonus points for being natural and petroleum free. I am a lip balm hoarder so I rotate through my stash a lot, but this is definitely one i reach for often.

This is a Holy Grail product. I have spent years looking for a lip balm that smoothes, provides intense moisture and most of all leaves no residue or gloss on the lips.
I love the fast absorbency of this balm as it completely absorbs in 1 minute and leaves no shine or glossy residue that your hair will get stuck in, it stays completely matte - perfect for under lipstick
This lip balm is also long lasting, I only have to apply twice in one day and it completely smoothes them out leaving them super soft and kissable! The peppermint also feels amazing and fills your lips with natural colour.
This is the perfect lip balm, I will never think of using anything else again!

My all time must have lip product. Been using this for over twenty years, and if I ever shift to a different balm I always come back to burst bees eventually. I especially gravitate to it in northern winters, when dry lips become a real problem. I actually don't find this all that minty, seems strange to me that some people say it burns. It's got a thick waxy texture, which I love because I find it lasts longer than anything else I've ever used. No other balms last overnight the way this does. I use it under drying lip colors as a moisturizing base. Love it!

On roads less travelled
Joined: Apr 2007
Location: Hamilton, Ontario Canada
Oddometer: 301
Day two the plan was to ride into the Satellite Observatory in Algonquin park, then on to Deep River for our next three nights.
Stocking up on supplies in Barry's Bay (and always checking phones when we had signal)
After Barry's Bay we got into the more interesting riding, starting with nice sandy roads, weather was great again
What I thought was a higher speed gravel route turned into this, much more fun than gravel but also slower going and we had a lot of ground to cover. By this time we were a couple hours behind where we thought we would be
Eventually making it to our lunch stop in Pembroke around 2pm
By the time we finished lunch we were much later in the day than planned so decided to head straight for Deep River as it was still a long ride away and come back to the Satellite Observatory the following day rather than rush through the route. The way I laid out the trip the route was easily adjusted to what we want to do.
We travelled along Barron Canyon Road along the eastern edge of Algonquin which is a great road
Only to come to this
Working off older gps software I didn't even realize Canadian Forces Base Petawawa was on the other side of the trench
Gary had that look a few times over the trip
So that involved some backtracking and zipped up the highway to Deep River to camp
Had a little more fun towards the Deep River end

Raiders' Crabtree is prime target for Rebels' DBs
Ole Miss will stick close to Tech standout
DALLAS -- Texas Tech receiver Michael Crabtree, a two-time Biletnikoff Award winner, was asked what goes through his mind when he lines up and sees an opposing defense in man-to-man coverage.
''I'm thinking touchdown, man, every time I see man coverage,'' Crabtree said. ''I feel if I don't score on man coverage, something's wrong.''
What: Ole Miss (8-4) vs. Texas Tech (11-1)
When, Where: 1 p.m., Jan. 2, Cotton Bowl, Dallas
Tickets: olemisssports.com or (662) 915-7167.
So you can imagine what must have been going through the 6-3, 214-pound All-American's mind when he began watching film of the Ole Miss defense, which primarily utilizes man coverage, with some zone sprinkled in.
When seventh-ranked Texas Tech (11-1) takes on No. 25 Ole Miss (8-4) in Friday's Cotton Bowl, Crabtree will either make several trips into the end zone, or something will have unexpectedly gone wrong. The Rebels are counting on the latter.
While the Rebels' defense has been the primary reason for their season-ending five-game winning streak, which ended their four-year bowl drought, the secondary continues to be viewed as the weak link while the front seven gets the acclaim.
Members of Ole Miss' cornerback rotation of Marshay Green, Dustin Mouzon and former East High star Cassius Vaughn are counting on making their presence known against the Red Raiders.
The Rebels finished the season 11th in the Southeastern Conference in pass defense, allowing 209.8 yards per game. But in their last three wins, the Rebels allowed just 59 yards passing to Louisiana-Monroe, 178 to LSU and 88 to Mississippi State.
''Our secondary's gotten better,'' Ole Miss defensive coordinator Tyrone Nix said. ''From week one to week 12 of the season, we've improved a little every week, and we expect the same thing in this bowl game. (Free safety) Jamarca Sanford is one of the leaders back there. When he's not playing very well, our secondary doesn't play well. He's taken it upon himself to be the player we expect him to be. He's raised the standard back there and hopefully they'll all raise their level when we play Texas Tech.''
Sanford said he has confidence in all the cornerbacks when the game is on the line.
''They're on scholarship, too,'' Sanford said of opposing offenses. ''They're going to make plays on offense, just like we're going to make plays on defense. I never doubted them. I'll go to war with any of them. You don't understand it until you're out there as a cornerback. It's pretty difficult. Marshay, Cassius and Mouzon, those guys are competitors and they're going to go out there and compete.''
The Rebel secondary will try to slow an offense that leads the nation in passing with 417 yards per game, and ranks fourth in scoring at 44.6 points.
Texas Tech is led by quarterback Graham Harrell, who finished fourth in the Heisman Trophy voting this season after passing for 4,747 yards and 41 touchdowns with seven interceptions.
Harrell's primary target was Crabtree, who caught 93 passes for 1,135 yards and 18 touchdowns.
''This is why you come to Ole Miss, to play in games like this and play quarterbacks such as Graham Harrell, and receivers like Michael Crabtree,'' Green said.
Mouzon said, ''There's no doubt in my mind, I'm very sure we can run with these boys. We've run with the best in the SEC -- Alabama and LSU.''
That all sounds good. But Nix wants to see how it shakes out Friday afternoon.
''We're going to find out because we're going to play some man, and we're going to play some zone,'' he said. ''We're going to play our game and we're going to do what we do, and we're going to count on our offense to do what they do. We win as a team and we lose as a team, but our objective is to go out and do whatever's best for our defense."
