‹ Toronto Maple Leafs
The Original Six era ended with the 1967 Stanley Cup Finals between the two-time defending champion Montreal Canadiens, and the Maple Leafs. The oldest team in the league, the third-place Leafs were led in goal by 37-year-old Terry Sawchuk and 42-year-old Johnny Bower. Known as the "over the hill gang", Toronto became the oldest team to win the Cup by defeating the favoured Canadiens in six games. The Maple Leafs have not appeared in the Stanley Cup finals since, although they came close to a Stanley cup Finals rematch against the Canadiens in 1993, instead losing to the Wayne Gretzky-led Los Angeles Kings in the Clarence Campbell Conference (now Western Conference) Finals.

However, Lubbock County Commissioner Bill McCay said the aftermath of the celebration can leave quite the mess.
"Just treat the area where you are like you would treat your own property, and just pick up, because it costs us tax dollars to clean all of this up," McCay said. "We will spend the next several days picking up trash, fireworks debris, instead of maintaining roads."
McCay said it is easier on the county when everyone does their part.
"We will get our employees, and then we will work-released folks on probation, we will get folks that need community service time," McCay said. "We will get those individuals and we will load them up in vans and trailers and we will just go throughout the entire county picking up fireworks debris."
Yvette Chapman, with the Lubbock Cooper Band Booster Club, was pleased with the turnout this year, and said they made almost $21,000 yesterday alone.
"Last year during the drought, they were not letting us sell at all so we could not even sell one little firecracker," Chapman said, "so whatever profit we make this year is just a huge success for our organization."
Chapman said the burn ban lift was not the only thing that boosted sales.
"Our economy has gone up a little bit, so people are willing to spend a little extra money on some of our bigger items," Chapman said. "We have sold some really huge, big boxes for $600 a piece, and we have managed to sell three of them. So it has really been a plus for us this year."
McCay said it is important to not get carried away, because you will be held accountable for anything that happens.
"If you do shoot fireworks and it causes a fire, and there is damage to a property, then you are liable for that damage," McCay said. "So please keep in mind that you can't catch something on fire and then run away. You will get caught, and you will get fined. So number one, be careful and just pick up your own trash."
Just last year alone, consumer fireworks revenue reached almost 650 million.

ARLINGTON (September 28, 2013) -- Craig Gentry doubled, scored and bunted in a run, helping the Texas Rangers beat the sloppy Los Angeles Angels 7-4 Saturday and reach the final day of the regular season with a chance to make the playoffs for the fourth year in a row.
Texas (90-71) won its sixth straight - and second in less than 24 hours. Cleveland and Tampa Bay started the day tied for the two AL wild-card spots at 90-70, a game ahead of the Rangers.
The Rays lost to Toronto, putting them into a tie with Texas for the final wild card spot.
The Rangers were down three batters in, but the Angels made five errors for a game for the first time since Sept. 16, 2006, also at Texas.

Thanks for trying Kevin and please do not give up. These parasites will do anything to protect their golden parachute retirements they leached off the taxpayers. This bill should go forward and all that vote against it, be voted out of office!
This is not just about Core doing without the golden parachute in Mr. Crowe's bill. As a matter of fact it shines the spotlight on all lawmakers passing bad laws like this to enrich the elite. Its time for lawmakers to repeal the laws giving the privileged elite guaranteed retirements and other benefits like this on the back of taxpayers! Some of these taxpayers must dine on the burger joint dollar menu so they can pay their property taxes while they (public servants) wine and dine on lobster and charge it to the taxpayers!!!!!!!!!!
You constantly hear on the news lawmakers wanting to cut entitlements while bestowing them on themselves at our expense! Any lawmaker that supports this needs to be voted out! Repeal this BAD Law!
No business, new or old, should ever be exempted from paying millages for fire protection. All the cost of providing all the extra manpower, training and equipment for new buisness is directly passed on to the homeowners property taxes if they get an expention. If not, then the fire departments get a lower fire rating resulting in incressed homeowners insurance.
Keep this in mind; it is illegal to give away public money! Buying lunches, gifts or giving any bonuses is illegal expenditures of public funds. Core said, "Every elected official in this parish, same practice: They take their staff out to eat". That means, by her own mouth, every elected official is guilty of violating state laws!!!!!
Yes, Corrected- and Young's can take all the tax payer subsidized steaks off the grill too.
You can take her off the grill now. Let the dogs have what's left. lol
Be honest engineman. You are mad and have a personal grudge because Mr. Groby hopefully will not write blank checks of "unconditional support" allowing your FD or all the other "parish created" governing bodies to squander our public money. We all need real accountability on the council- not someone who is in it to make their buddies deals or campaign payback to improve their deep pockets!
Nothing in this parish is needed more now than new blood on the parish council that will dedicate themselves to serving the will of the voters- not politically connected buddies. Jake Groby may very well be one of those very rare candidates who if elected will fight to put ethics and integrity back in the parish council.
In response to jbgroby post. This is another fine example of public servants completely and knowingly disregarding laws. Nothing will come of this nor will any public servant ever be held accountable for it.
NO! The pearl fish kill was not caused from the heat. It was caused by human stupidity when someone opened the valves allowing all the mills untreated/ toxic/ undigested black liquor drain from the mill into the river. All heads at the mill had to know this! Question is why they intentionally allowed this knowing it would kill the river???? This stuff must meet strict PH levels before going into the river. Alarms had to go off!
Take two 20 acres sections of perfect high and dry land, sell the TDRs on one section to develop the other high and dry section at an increase of 25 percent in houses. To use the term said at the meeting, saving Farm/Timber land for the future, preserving the land to never be developed.
Some like the idea of St Tammany not becoming like other areas where you can stand on your roof and not see anything but other roof tops as far as you can see on a clear day. That is why many peeople say they moved here.
Why is it I keep getting the picture the real intention of this TSR program is to allow developers buy TSRs on swamp/wetlands that would never be developed anyhow, thus allowing them to build more houses than the zoning now allows? 25 percent more houses on a hundred acres will mean a huge profit! No wonder the home builder's association guy said they loved this!
Fire protection and medical first responder services are something that must be funded. However, that doesn't mean just because it's needed the taxpayers should be soaked wasteful spending, unnecessary fire ambulance services and/or state mandated cost.
Some of the fire boards forget their job is to make sure only services needed are rendered and provide the best fire protection at the lowest cost possible.
Why don't all these boards fight the state mandated cost with the same vigor as they are fighting consolidation of fire districts and the bill to stop the no turn out special spring tax elections?
The time has come in which fire districts think they should have unlimited funding with out cutting back- As with fire dist 1 who has a $40.00 parcel fee and now wants another tax imposed on all utility bills.
"The tax represents more than two-thirds of the district's annual budget" …How can one 10 mill out of 35.63 represent more than two thirds of the budget?
"The remainder of the district's funding comes from a second, 10-mill property tax" ….That makes only 20 mills- not the 35.63 mill tax collected.
Its purtyclear voters are being fed erroneous information to pas this tax or face threat of doom.
"The existing tax expires at the end of 2012."….Meaning, a special election will be held in the spring 2012, and if it failes againe, it will be back on the balot for the fall 2012 elections. Only then if it failes, it will it mean the end to the ambulance transport unit- thus saving taxpayers money.
"After the tax rate vote, Hess announced he would forgo a 2 percent increase to his salary of $122,000 to aid with the budget situation." Why is he making so much for a $50,000 chief job?
Has anyone taken the time to consider how much FF retirement cost each year for a firemen making $122,000 a year? The state needs to get out of the business of mandating these retirements' systems!
Maybe by not getting the full millage it will stop dist one from forcing in their fire transport ambulance for a while longer. Oh yes! Mr. Kaufmann let the cat out of the bag!
Just think….. one of them 7 year olds is a firemedic! What a shame ...mg.
Funny, from the blogtalk radio website… "Here is a question for you all. It is being rumored that the gentleman who found Zach was someone that we spoke to on our tour of the area, coincidence?"
fireman citizen…..Talk about funny! There is a paragod who works for fire dist 11 that has already made all the false accusations and slandered just like you. It's like you copied sentences direct from his many slanderous blogs using different coward screen names. I have repeatedly proven him a compulsive liar just like you! By the way, no governing authority can allow their employees to use any public means to slander or mislead the public with lies as you. However!.... For some reason fire chiefs, and some boards approve, allowing firemen to do this!
Even funnier! He claimed to have two degrees just like YOU!!!!!
Did you copy/past this link and check it out? http://pearlriverfire.wordpress.com/curious-case/
Talk about arrogance! One thing I learned real fast is most firemen are full of it. Must be some sort of brainwashing in their training to make them that way. Take this fireman calling himself a concerned citizen. Though he claims to have two collage degrees, he looks down on others while saying he is better. He is not the first, second nor third fireman I run across claiming he is above others with his collage degrees and giving false information to mislead the public- all while criticizing others for spelling in trying to make himself look so smart. Did he notice how many times he misspelled??? So once again we have a self proclaimed collage educated fireman slandering on the public forums and blogs who seems to not be able to spell so good himself. Maybe the word "arrogance" should be re- interpreted to mean firefighter! After all, they are the only group of "public servants" who are allowed to openly/publicly use the forums and blogs to tell lies and slander/attack the public to promote their FD propaganda.
You must have 2 of them mail-order degrees in propaganda. You mention attacks and hate yet that's all you do along with the same old propaganda all fds spew out. Again I must thank you for showing the fact that "FD employees" are the only public employees allowed to freely bash citizens to promote FD propaganda on all the blogs. Funny how you drastically distort facts with all the propaganda. FACT. There are some who make more than 100 grand base salaries! You don't count all the excessive overtime! Yes, most private job workers pay out of their pocket for training- even paramedics! Their medical they pay for is not nearly as good as what a fireman gets free. It does not take 20 years to get 30 day vacation. Again you lie to mislead. Why should a fireman deserve more "entitlements" than all other workers? They seldom actually risk their lives. When they do it's because of stupidity. Quit looking across the street at the neighbors and crying like a baby because they got a bigger piece of candy.
Concerning FD 11 and your lies… Do a search for news articles and you will see all about the FD 11 cover-up of lies. Yes, the A.G., E.B., DA, parish gov all knew what they were doing. Did you know I notified tham about FD 11 spending public funds on parties, alcohol, banquet halls taking guest out for dinner and even buying gifts? Now I know why they did nothing. K.D. said this is the way we do business when Zurick questioned him for doing that! Copy and past this link, http://pearlriverfire.wordpress.com/curious-case/
You not against a study is another flat out lie! Fact, parish Fire Chiefs meet together to discus fire department issues and ways to milk more tax money. They do not want any study! Fact, some FD boards have already passed a resolution to oppose it. For a proper study to be done the parish needs to know what needs to be included so not to waste a bunch of money and hire the wrong persons to do it. All issues concerning debts owed, taxes and others issues will be dealt with in the study. You just don't seem so bright not to figure that out –THAT IS WHAT THE STUDY IS FOR!!!! Yes, this study is so the parish will know what the hell is really going on! That's why you are so scared of it! Right? Not like the NON study you mentioned. Fact, the last study, as with this study, was strongly opposed by all fds. To keep all the FD from crying and hating everyone, they bowed in to them. As you said "We have a Fire Superintendent that has in the past done studies and reviews about consolidation." You care to put a name to this person? No study can be reliable when done by a FD employee who will only promote FD propaganda and not real facts like you! Yes, state laws mandating tax burdens on taxpayers (retirement) and others need to be changed- study or not! If you actule come up with some real facts, not your fd propaganda, take to the nola.com St Tammany Forum. I will debate all your propaganda there so citizens can be educated to all the real facts!
You can even tell us where you got them mail order degrees at!

Chateau Durfort-Vivens
Varietal: Red Bordeaux
There are few regions in the world with stricter regulations in regards to wine production and grape varietals than those found in Bordeaux, France. Here, in the home of the world's finest wines, the type and quality of grapes used is of utmost importance, and the legendary wineries which work on the banks of the Gironde river have mastered the careful art of juice blending to find the perfect balance for their produce. Whilst there are six 'official' Bordeaux grapes, the two key varietals for almost every fine Bordeaux wine are Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, and with good reason. Whilst Cabernet Sauvignon grapes are renowned for their acidity and astringency, strong fruit and spice flavors and full body, Merlot grapes are notably rounded, soft, fleshy and lighter on tannin. The combination of these two varietals, along with a small percentage of (commonly) Petit Verdot or Cabernet Franc, is the perfect balancing act – the two grape varietals cancel out each others weaker points, and accentuate all that is good about the other.
Region: Bordeaux
There are few wine regions in the world with a reputation as glowing and well established as that of the Bordeaux, in France. Situated mainly around the Dordogne and Gironde rivers, Bordeaux makes the most of its humid climate and rich, clay and gravel based soils to grow some of the finest examples of red and white grape varietals on earth. Wineries in this region have been in operation for hundreds of years, and have carefully developed the expertise required for the production of carefully balanced and utterly delicious blended red and white wines, alongside some exceptional single variety bottles. Many of the chateaux found in Bordeaux have become household names, due to their prestige and the excellence of their products, grown with love and dedication by heritage wineries in this beautiful and special region.
Country: France
France is renowned across the globe for its quality wines and the careful expertise which goes into making them, but what is truly remarkable about this relatively small country is the vast range of wines it produces in such huge amounts each year. Not only are the finest red wines in the world said to come from the beautiful regions of Bordeaux and Burgundy, but elsewhere in the country we find the Champagne region, and areas such as the Rhone Valley and the Loire, whose white wines consistently receive awards and accolades by the plenty. This range is a result of the great variety of climatic conditions and terrain found in France, coupled with generations of wine makers working within single appellations. Their knowledge of specific terroirs and grape varieties has, over time, perfected the production of wines within their region, and the end results continue to impress the world to this day.
Appellation: Margaux
The appellation of Margaux in France's most famous wine region, Bordeaux, is surely one of the most famous and widely loved areas for wine production in the world. Situation in the south of the Médoc, on the banks of the beautiful Gironde river, Margaux has been making high quality, flavorful and characterful blended red wines for centuries. It has always been extremely prestigious, and contains the exceptional and well known Chateau Margaux, one of the Bordeaux's four Premier Cru wineries, and home to some of the greatest red wines on earth. The climatic conditions in Margaux are perfectly suited for growing almost all of the red Bordeaux grape varietals, which thrive under the hot sunshine and in the mineral rich, gravel based soils. Wineries in Margaux are dedicated to traditional methods and producing wines of the highest quality, and they strive to achieve absolute perfection.

Reunions in the Time of Facebook
One of my Facebook friends recently posted about her 20-year high school reunion. We went to the same high school, and she was a year ahead of me. I have perhaps a dozen other Facebook friends from my high school who were all in that same graduating class, but she was the only one who mentioned the reunion. This took me by surprise for a couple of reasons. First, I had forgotten that my own high school 20-year reunion will happen next year. For those readers who are now thinking about how old I am to be writing such a thing, trust me, you won't feel so old when you get here.

Wind: 0 mph
To The Editor:
This morning, May 20, my husband watched as three drivers ignored the flashing lights of the school bus that was stopped to pick up two of our kids. When the bus is stopped at our driveway on Route 100 heading south, it is visible from the 1824 House for northbound drivers -- that is about one-quarter mile.
In this case, the first driver slowed down and then accelerated past and the second driver closely followed the first. Finally, after my children started to step into the road, the third driver sped by. The third driver was not immediately following the second. I would like to remind drivers that school is still in session.
The penalty for running past a school bus with its red lights on is a $228 ticket and five points on your driving record, but of course the ultimate penalty could be much more dire.
I would also like parents to remind their children to look to the bus driver for guidance for when it is okay to cross the road to get on the bus. The bus driver has a good vantage point and will typically wave a child across when he/she feels it is safe to cross.
And finally...a reminder that the maximum speed limit on Route 100 is 50 miles per hour.

Updated: 11/16/2012 5:21 PM KSTP.com By: Jay Kolls
The Stillwater City Council wants to make sure police have the tools needed to crack down on problem bars. There were three violent assaults in a two-week period at Smalley's Pirate Bar in downtown Stillwater in September.
One of those assaults resulted in the death of a 29-year-old Bayport man. Stillwater officials are now looking at beefing up the City's Liquor Ordinance to allow police to crack down on bars that have repeated problems.
One thing being considered is this: If a bar, or restaurant, has six critical incidents in a year, its liquor license could be in jeopardy.
Most business owners support the city's efforts, but some just want to make sure the city's modified ordinance doesn't go too far and penalize establishments that have a good track record.
Stillwater officials say they are in the early phases of drafting the new ordinance and it will probably not be ready for official action until after the first of the year.

"If you want to be honest, face these facts: At this moment, President Obama is losing, Democrats are losing and liberals are losing." Sen. Mitch McConnell, perhaps? A radio talk show host? No, none other than E.J. Dionne. After months of spinning for the Obami, explaining that the Republicans were on their last legs and promising we were on the brink of passing ObamaCare, he now bemoans, "Who's winning? Republicans, conservatives, the practitioners of obstruction and the Tea Party."
But still, Dionne won't concede the obvious and rails at the notion that Obama and the Democrats in Congress have brought this on themselves by their ultra-liberal agenda. Instead he blames Scott Brown's win. (OK, so how'd that happen?) And then he blames the Senate. The way it operates, you see, is the problem — all those deals and all that compromising on ObamaCare (which he previously said would have to be "sold" to voters after the fact). And then he blames the Republicans, who have bamboozled the public: "The economy is a mess. Obama and the Democrats are for big government. Big government is responsible for the mess. Therefore the mess is the fault of Obama and the Big Government Democrats. Simplistic and misleading? Absolutely."
Actually, it is Dionne's diagnosis that's simplistic and misleading. The economy is a mess. And the Obama agenda has nothing to do with solving it. Instead he and Congress have gone on a leftward jag that has scared the public, exacerbated the debt problem, freaked out investors and employers, and convinced voters that Obama is divorced from the immediate economic concerns they want addressed. And the voters are mighty sick of blaming George W. Bush, the Republicans, the filibuster, and anything else that pops to mind as a diversion. They want those in power to govern already.
Dionne remains baffled that Obama, the Democrats, and their extreme agenda would be blamed for Democrats' sinking approval. "But if liberals and Obama are so smart, how did they — or, if you prefer, 'we' — allow conservatives to make this argument so effectively? Why do the mainstream media give it so much credence?" Well, it could be right, you know. After all, it explains election results in New Jersey, Virginia, and Massachusetts, and matches up with polling that shows the public's aversion to the Democrats' agenda.
At some point, maybe after the November election, Dionne and the Obami he defends so earnestly will need to do some soul-searching and decide if they want to maintain their isolation from reality. It's comforting to blame everyone else for their travails, but it's ultimately not a winning political strategy.

The ASEAN Studies Centre at the Institute of Southeast Asian Studies (ISEAS) in Singapore is pleased to invite you to the ASEAN Roundtable 2014, an annual flagship activity that has been taking place for the past 29 years, since 1985. The 29th roundtable this year has the theme "Moving Towards a People-Centred ASEAN" and focuses on issues and trends under the ASEAN Socio-Cultural Community (ASCC).
The ASEAN Socio-Cultural Community (ASCC) is one of the three community pillars of the ASEAN Community. Its aims include developing human potential and strengthening the norms of social justice for greater regional social cohesion that complements political cooperation and economic integration. Even as ASEAN focuses on regional economic integration at the fore of its community-building efforts, it can be said that the ASCC is at the core of the envisioned ASEAN Community, as it focuses on the people and their participation in regional cooperation. The ASCC priorities also support regional processes to achieve the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) and the ASEAN Political and Security Community (APSC).
The Roundtable discussions will look at the state of regional cooperation in the ASCC's cross-cutting priorities, and assess emerging issues and concerns for a post-2015 landscape in ASEAN community-building.
- Implementation of the ASCC Blueprint: What has been achieved? Whereare the shortcomings?
- Where is ASEAN community-building in the socio-cultural areas heading beyond 2015? What are the issues and concerns to watch out for?
- How to better promote awareness and attitudes towards ASEAN among the young people in the region?
- How is ASEAN coping with challenges in environmental protection and disaster resilience?
Through the Roundtable discussions, the ASEAN Studies Centre hopes to stimulate greater public interest in ASEAN regional cooperation and keep track of the
implementation of the ASCC Blueprint. The ASEAN Studies Centre also hopes to contribute inputs for ASEAN Member States to take into consideration as they prepare to further develop the ASCC beyond 2015. The Roundtable is jointly funded by the Konrad Adenauer Stiftung (KAS) and ISEAS.
Please note that registration to attend the Roundtable is necessary, and is on a firstcome-first-served basis.

Soaps Boards :: General Hospital Forum :: Really, everyone should give up careers for AJ??
Please register and login to be able to post in this message board.
Elizabeth tells Tracy that AJ should have another chance (the 102nd chance)- so what Tracy should give up her own dreams? AJ thinks Connie should give up her career for him -he'll have to try to kill her for telling the truth. What world do Elizabeth and AJ live in? Shouldn't he be happy to live in a mansion, have a chance at a relationship with his son and mother and Elizabeth - he could try to be successful in another field. At least he is not in prison. It is hard to feel sympathy for this violent person.

Journal: Rachel Carson
Forty-five years after the publication of Rachel Carson's landmark book Silent Spring, which launched the modern environmental movement, her disturbing story of how toxic chemicals were poisoning the earth still resonates. But who was Rachel Carson? And what can the ferocious debate she started and the vicious attacks she endured tell us about environmentalism in the 21st century?

Released: Jun 2005
Label: Six Degrees
Sometimes hype can weigh down an album before you even hear it. So forget what you might have heard about CeU, and forget that she's Starbucks' latest poster girl. If you ignore all that silliness, you will finally hear your way through to her remarkably mature, good-natured debut album. The woman delicately experiments with everything from jazz and electronica to Afrobeat, and she does it all with that warm-honey vocal style that defines Brazilian singers. Tasty.

This tangy twist on an old favourite is from Food Network Top Chef judge Tom Colicchio, co-author of 'wichcraft, a new cookbook of deliciously simple sandwich recipes.
Rhubarb Jelly
4 cups diced trimmed rhubarb
2 cups plus 1 tsp sugar
Juice from 1 lemon
1 tsp powdered pectin
8 tbsp peanut butter
8 slices Pullman bread (sandwich bread made with white flour)
At 'wichcraft, we make our own peanut butter and we make our own jelly, usually strawberry, Concord grape, and for a brief time in the spring, rhubarb. We feel that even the humble peanut butter and jelly sandwich deserves the finest ingredients. Here's one of our top secrets: we doctor up standard peanut butter by adding real butter, which mellows the flavour, adds richness, and makes the texture more velvety. Is it excessive or — as some have suggested — even evil to add butter to peanut butter? Well, we think of it as substituting one fat for another, modest as long as you spread the same amount on your sandwich.
Rhubarb Jelly
Step 1: In a bowl, combine the rhubarb, 2 cups sugar, and lemon juice and refrigerate overnight in a tightly covered container.
Step 2: The next day, in a small saucepan, bring the rhubarb-and-sugar mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.
Step 3: In a small bowl, combine the pectin and remaining tsp sugar and temper it by adding small amounts of the hot rhubarb mixture and quickly stirring it. Add it to the rest of the rhubarb and return the saucepan to the stove and bring to a boil.
Step 4: Remove from the heat and place into a clean container with a lid. Once it has cooled down, close the lid and store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Step 1: Evenly spread the peanut butter on 4 slices of bread. Spread 2 tbsp of jelly on each of the other 4 slices. Close the sandwiches, cut into halves, and serve.

Eichman you obviously do not have school age children? We need to pass the renewal or we will be like Garfield Heights.
I am from Parma not from Seven Hills and I believe this was the best choice. I have a child in elementary school that will be affected but it must be done. Conratulations to the school board for making the right decision.
I heard that also I cannot believe he admitted to having a secret agenda to close Normandy. iIdid hear when he drinks at the Red Circle Lanes he brags that his legacy will be that he closes Normandy but i did not believe it. maybe it is true?
Palaibis has been wanting to close Normandy from day one. He is postponing hoping his cronies will be voted into office before the next election so he can close Normandy with there votes. Close the elementary schools as recommended and leave the three high schools open. Why would you close the only high school in the district rated excellent?
If the fire levy fails what will be the cost increase for homeowners insurance?
Meadow lane homes flooded also. Mine for the first time since I have lived there in 11 years and my neighbor first time in 26years.
The house next door to me has been empty and up for sale for since last may. Now that the levy has passed the foot traffic looking at the house has gone up over 4x. Is this a coincidence or are more people looking to move into Parma since it passed?
Close the three middle schools leave the three high schools opened.
if you go 7-12 in ths schools would it allow to close the most buildings and save $ in the long run?
If you have followed this case you can see this teacher was set up. they were trying to get $$ out of her because she was a nice person she was taken advantage of. She should appeal and if she wins should go after the school district and newspapers for printing her home address.
Close the three middle schools and put the students in the three high schools. You close 3 buildings save more money and keep the three clusters.
Close the three middle schools leave the three high schools open. That way you would have the different clusters they want and you could save more money by closing 3 buildings.
I have seen nothing to prove Mason has done anything wrong. the P.D. has been trying to hang something on him for a while. They should not be reporting things without knowing the facts first.
who from Valley Forge and Normandy made NOC conference players?
How can i get $$ back if over paid ten years earlier. Mark it as a loss? Why should they get the xtra $?
If the teachers want to help the levy pass. They need to make concessions like the majority of Parma residents have had to endure the last few years.
I would rather pay for my kids to pay for sports and leave the neighborhood schools opened.
Pay to participate already with sports. But why is Parma paying from players for Varsity football $64,000 J.v. football $32,000. But Brecksville Broadveiw Hts. Pays less for Varsity, J.V. and freshmen? Who make the $$ off of the extra high cost on Parma sports? Better to stop sports altogether than close schools.
With more and more people losing their jobs,unpaid furloughs and giving back of wages. part timers getting fewer hours where will it all end? We are are our way to becoming a second rate nation. I make less $ now then I did 8 years ago and the cost of everything keeps going up. Education, medical, gasoline and daily needs it is driving the middle class down. We will only be a nation of haves and haves nots.

According to Tina Fey, 30 Rock might feature the Tracy Morgan gay controversy as a future plot point, which seems at least as entertaining as watching Tracy Jordan buy two blimps and crash them into each other to see what kind of sound they make. When asked by Deadline whether the anti-gay comments Morgan made earlier this summer would affect the show's chances for an Emmy or reduce their audience, Fey replied, "Because of my real-life pregnancy, we don't go back on the air until January. I'm hoping that Tracy will have, and the world will have, forgotten about that by them. He from the first has gone around very sincerely and done his best to try to make up for the foolishness." Don't worry, everyone still associates him first and foremost with wanting to take them behind the middle school and get them pregnant.
Morgan later apologized for his comments in a GLAAD press conference, as well as defended of gay marriage. But since it happened (and since they already had Tracy visit Africa, have another baby and discover he has a son older than himself), Fey and the writing staff might just have to incorporate the scandal into 30 Rock's upcoming season. "It's the kind of story that even if it happened to someone else, we would probably turn it into a Tracy story," Tina mused. "So we may use it." We bet they will; Tracy Jordan's lizard's album drops in December, but then they have a lot of airtime to fill.

U.S. House Democrats Announce Introduction Of 'High-Capacity' Ammunition Magazine Ban
Nothing new about the highly-publicized "assault weapons" ban bill that's supposed to be coming from U.S. Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-CA). But another gun "control" bill focusing on "high-capacity" ammunition magazines appears to be on the verge of being introduced in Congress. Lucy Madison reported on the CBS News website yesterday:
As lawmakers return to Capitol Hill today to kick off the start of the 113th Congress, Democrats are already priming for a renewed battle over gun control, announcing the introduction of a bill banning high-capacity ammunition magazines before the first House session had been gaveled in.
The High Capacity Ammunition Feeding Device Act, which is being introduced by Carolyn McCarthy, D-N.Y., and is co-sponsored by Diana DeGette, D-Colo., would ban the sale or transfer of ammunition magazines holding more than 10 rounds…
"These assault magazines help put the 'mass' in 'mass shooting' and anything we can do to stop their proliferation will save lives in America," said McCarthy in a statement. "These devices are used to kill as many people as possible in the shortest amount of time possible and we owe it to innocent Americans everywhere to keep them out of the hands of dangerous people. We don't even allow hunters to use them – something's deeply wrong if we're protecting game more than we're protecting innocent human beings."
(Editor's note: Italics added for emphasis)
In 2004, a research report submitted by the Jerry Lee Center of Criminology, University of Pennsylvania, to the United States Department of Justice and the National Institute of Justice found no statistically-significant evidence that the decade-long bans on "assault weapons" and ammunition magazines holding more than 10 rounds that began in 1994 had reduced firearm-related murders. From "An Updated Assessment of the Federal Assault Weapons Ban: Impacts on Gun Markets and Gun Violence, 1994-2003" in June 2004:
Because the ban has not yet reduced the use of LCMs in crime, we cannot clearly credit the ban with any of the nation's recent drop in gun violence.
(Editor's note: Italics added for emphasis)
With LCM's being "large-capacity" magazines.
To be fair, the report also noted:
However, the ban's exemption of millions of pre-ban AWs and LCMs ensured that the effects of the law would occur only gradually. Those effects are still unfolding and may not be fully felt for several years into the future, particularly if foreign, pre-ban LCMs continue to be imported into the U.S. in large numbers.
Yet, common-sense dictates the bad guys will just bring more "low-capacity" magazines along with them when performing their dirty deeds. As I said on New Year's Eve:
Call me crazy, but something tells me the bad guys won't be hindered by either of these proposed bans. In fact, in the event the criminals are ever short "hi-cap" mags, don't be surprised to hear tales of them mastering super-fast magazine changes on the "low-capacity" ones they brought along in more numbers.

Illinois Governor Proposes Ban On 'Assault Weapons,' 'High-Capacity' Ammunition Magazines
In the wake of the Colorado movie theater shootings, some high-profile Democrats are pushing legislation for more gun "control."
Colleagues in hotly-contested districts and party strategists may very well be pulling their hair out, as the last thing they probably want is for the electorate to strongly-equate the Democratic Party with gun "control" in these 98 days left until the November election.
1994 redux, anyone?
From Lauren Fox on the U.S. News & World Report website Monday:
New York Democrat Sen. Chuck Schumer has some back up in his fight for gun control legislation he wants to attach to a cyber-security bill making its way through the Senate this week.
New Jersey Democratic Sens. Frank Lautenberg and Bob Menendez, California Democratic Sens. Barbara Boxer and Dianne Feinstein, and Rhode Island Sen. Jack Reed are also expected to be vocal over one of the first legislative responses to the Aurora, Colorado shooting, which left 12 dead and injured nearly 60…
Schumer has offered an amendment that would limit the type of high-capacity gun magazines consumers could purchase.
The amendment bans drums, gun magazines and feed strips that can fire off more than 10 rounds of ammunition. The only exclusion is .22 caliber rimfire ammunition, which is a much smaller bullet.
Fox brought up another piece of gun "control" legislation being pushed by Democrats on the national stage. From the article:
New York Democratic Rep. Carolyn McCarthy and Lautenberg announced the "Stop Online Ammunition Sales Act" Monday, legislation that would ban internet sales of ammunition and require licensed dealers to report suspicious purchases of 1,000 rounds of ammunition or more.
At lunchtime today, Illinois Governor Pat Quinn, a Chicago Democrat, proposed a statewide ban on what he calls "assault weapons" and "high-capacity" ammunition magazines. From the Associated Press:
Gov. Pat Quinn on Tuesday proposed a statewide ban on assault weapons, a move that would face big hurdles in Illinois despite renewed nationwide debate over the issue.
The Chicago Democrat used his amendatory veto power to call for changes in a bill related to in-state ammunition sales.
"Banning assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition magazines will make Illinois a safer place to live," he said in a letter to members of the General Assembly. "There is no place in the State of Illinois for weapons designed to rapidly fire at human targets at close range."
No word yet if Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel has anything to add.

Joseph Named to Preseason All-Big 12 Team
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. - The Big 12 Conference has named West Virginia University junior safety Karl Joseph to its 2014 Preseason All-Big 12 Football Team, chosen by media representatives who cover the league.
Last week, Joseph was named to the watch list for the Maxwell Football Club's Bednarik Award.
"It's great that Karl has been recognized as one of the top players in the Big 12 Conference heading into the season" says WVU defensive coordinator Tony Gibson. "He has played a lot of football for us in the past two years and made a lot of plays. We look forward to him making a lot of plays for us again this season."
Joseph finished with 68 tackles as a sophomore in 2013, as well as having two forced fumbles, four fumble recoveries, four pass breakups, an interception and three tackles for loss. He also ranked No. 1 in the Big 12 and No. 2 nationally in fumbles recovered. He finished with five or more tackles in seven games and five or more solo tackles in six games.
The 2014 Big 12 preseason team was dominated by upperclassmen with 18 seniors and five juniors among the 26 honorees. Eight players were named to the 2013 All-Big 12 First Team while 11 were on the second team.
Individual selections include quarterback Bryce Petty (Baylor) as Preseason Offensive Player of the Year, lineman Devonte Fields (TCU) as Preseason Defensive Player of the Year and wide receiver Tyreek Hill (Oklahoma State) as Preseason Newcomer of the Year.
The media Preseason Big 12 Poll will be released on Thursday, followed by the annual Big 12 Football Media Days to be conducted in Dallas on July 21-22.

Very, Very Mature
Sunday night, Marlboro Man and I actually had other adult human beings over to our house to watch the Super Bowl. In attendance at our rip-roarin' fiesta were My Pesky Brother-in-Law, Tim, his wife, Missy, and our good friends, Mc.D and Julie. We enjoyed a delicious meal, but by the second quarter, we female types were already bored with the football game. We were also bored with standing in the kitchen and cleaning up the aftermath of roasted tenderloin, twice baked potatoes, and bread pudding while all the guys relaxed in the living room like…guys. We were also bored with taking care of the six children running around the house like crazed lunatics hellbent on destruction.
We were also pretty much bored with acting like grown women. So the three of us gals left the kitchen a mess, sent the kids upstairs to wreak their havoc elsewhere, plopped down at the dining table, and spent the rest of the evening acting mature. Very, very mature.
First, Missy demonstrated her exceedingly bizarre elbow joint deformity. Gawwwsh. Isn't it gross? I can only watch her do this for so long before my hiney starts cringing like mad. And not at all in a good way.
Normally very quiet and reserved, Missy really came to life once she started showing off her weird-ass abnormality.
Poor gal. I think it must help her to try to find humor in her unfortunate orthopedic condition. It's probably really helped her cope through the years. Dang—would you take a friggin' look at those arms? She could walk across the globe on those things!
At first, Angie-Harmon-Lookalike-Julie just watched in stunned amazement…
…Then she simply had to look away. "Ohhhhh, that's just not right," she said. Her hiney was cringing all over the place. Only she didn't exactly use those words.
Missy. Poor soul, she could have gone on like this all night. I think she really must have needed to let it out. Okay, Missy…that'll be all. You can go ahead and take your seat now.
Okay, so after we completed that very worthwhile, productive, and mankind-benefiting activity, we decided it was time to make weird and disturbing faces.
Here's Heinous Missy…
I swear, I don't know what got into the girl. She's normally such a shy, well-behaved person. It must've been all that wacky weed I put in the brownies. That always makes my grandma act a little funky, too.
And here's my most beautiful primate face:
Hideous, no? Hideous, yes.
And speaking of hideous? Here's…here's…oh, man. I swear, if Keepin' it Real hadn't become such a signature value on this website, there's no way I'd be showing you this…
Wait…I don't think I can do it. Okay, here it is…
No, wait! I can't! I..I..oh, whatever. Here it…
Here it…..IS:
Holy Moly. I used to sit in front of the mirror and do this for hours…but there's something so very shocking about seeing it right here on the computer screen in front of me. Ugh. It's just so bad, it makes me want to bash myself about the face, breast, chest, neck and head.
There's Julie's dignified husband, refusing to look in our direction and praying to God Missy and I don't turn his precious Julie into the degenerate freaks that we clearly are.
And there's my beloved Marlboro Man, refusing to look in our direction and wishing to God he'd married someone…else.
But then Missy came to my defense…
Hey, Marlboro Man! Marry THIS!
We are mature. Very, very mature.

You'll never grow old because you are just too stinkin' silly. I think you all should have drawn a face on the back of Julie's dignified husband's bald head with eye liner. Now THAT would be some mature fun, wouldn't it?
Heidi the Hick On Tuesday, February 6 at 6:48 am
hee hee hee! That first pic is killer. All we can see is Missy's pretty smiling face, then we scroll down and WHOA she looks like she's gonna pop her elbow joints!!
Despite the weirdness and immaturity pictured, I would just like to say that I love this blog because it proves that there are beautiful women out in the sticks and good looks aren't exclusive to big cities! Weird faces…that stuff knows no geographical boundaries!!
Betcha the kids were doing the same stuff upstairs…

Good morning Pioneer woman,
It is nice to see someone else on the web who seemingly is as interested in photography as me. May I say that your photo's are amazing! I have a few questions I would like to ask you. I was wondering how you copyrighted your photos. I have posted some of my own and would like to protect my work, I am looking into persuing using them sometime in the near future and would be devistated if someone were to claim them as their own. Also for your close ups are you using magnifying filters and if so what magnification? I would be thrilled if you would check out my blog and comment on my photos. It would be great to have someone of whom's work I respect comment on mine. Anyway I hope you are doing well and being very mature today :0) Have a great day.

I am soooooo ROFL! Oh, shoot. I think I blew coffee out my nose.
Thanks for the laugh, Ree. This was absolutely hysterical!!!!

Hey Ree — when you make that one face, Bossy thinks you look just like that british actress Emily Watson!
dadia On Tuesday, February 6 at 7:28 am
LOL! Y'all are too twisted for color tv! I noticed in the last pic that Julie was getting into the act….too late, Julie's husband! She's too far gone now! And it was good to get to know Missy a bit better -at least, I THINK it was! LOLOLOL!! I'd say both you wimmenz have been in that family & on the ranch for long enough now that you're totally ruined for life anywhere else! But where else could possibly compare, eh? LOL!
Good, clean, harmless, wholesome fun….far too little of that happening these days, you know? I love reading about your family. Makes me want to buy a ranch & move my loved ones out to the middle of the country.
Have a wonderful day – & more mature fun whilst you're at it!!
Carrums On Tuesday, February 6 at 8:04 am
Ree, I didn't think anyone else had my bizarre elbows! I love Missy, she's my long lost twin! LOL! We could do a circus act together! Nice face, BTW, hasn't changed a bit. And, yes, you did used to sit in front of the mirror making those faces (among others)! LOL!
fromthepines On Tuesday, February 6 at 8:07 am
OMG! You make me laugh!! Those pics of you are priceless -keep them handy to show the girls boyfriends -they'll be so embarrassed! Tee-he-he.
Another Jenn On Tuesday, February 6 at 8:07 am
OMG! My nephew was doing the arm thing a couple of weekends ago at our house. I had to make him stop because it was really bothering me. I can't even begin to fathom what on earth shows them they can do that in the first place! I could very well be able to do it, but I never, ever, ever would EVER try!
Great pics! I love how you enjoy the superbowl. I tivo'd and only watched the commercials and halftime!
Miss Wisabus On Tuesday, February 6 at 8:24 am
I love the primate face. I have to say though, as I was scrolling down to your next picture, I was really worried that you were going to have your eyelids turned inside out. Now, Ree, THAT would have been mature.

Ok, fess up. How much had you gals been drinkin' before the mayhem ensued? Truth be told, I've been known to have similar mature fun with my friends on many occasions. And I proudly admit it!
Kristi On Tuesday, February 6 at 9:51 am
What ELSE would you do during the Super Bowl?? Once the Snicker's commercial was over, I was done, too. At our house the maturity level only got up to grape kool-aid…oh, and eating so many deviled eggs that we couldn't eat dinner! Uhh…there is nobody below the age of 38 at our house, by the way!
What a way to go, Ree, I knew I enjoyed your company!

Egads, my Sarah can do that with her arm (top pics). I thought it was because she shattered her elbow falling (jumping?) off a horse. Oops, there I went and did it, alluded to the dangers of kids and livestock… Remember what I said before – if your kids say they're going to play "circus", Make Them Stop.

We had a Superbowl gathering of the same size and likewise the women folk made their way to the kitchen but quickly made our way out of it too.
No double joints to speak of at our party though. But I did have to do some explaining (see my blog) about the weird things my kids can say.
Superbowl is just an excuse to have people over and act very mature. There is no other good reason for the Superbowl. (running and hiding from those who really care!)

OMG! I have the SAME ELBOWS. I discovered my uncanny elbows in junior high, of course, during one of those "hey, can you hold your hands behind your back and touch your elbows together?" tricks from the boys. The startlin thing, besides the fact that I had boobs, was that I COULD actually do it.
Also funny: I practice yoga and never know what to do with them, since they like to do their own thing, so sometimes the instructors have to come over to me and ask me if I'm OK.

Award Receipt and Negotiation
In some cases, an award may be issued by the agency after a series of negotiations that may involve revisions to the scope of the project, period of performance, and/or proposed budget. OGSP, working with Legal Affairs, is the authorized agent for negotiating such revisions. If revisions are necessary, OGSP will not make any changes to the project or scope without the consent of the PI/PD. The acceptance of a revised scope of work, period of performance or budget is a judgment that only the PI/PD can make; it is not a judgment or condition that may be unilaterally imposed by the granting agency.
If the agency requires the submission of a revised work plan or budget, this must be prepared by the PI/PD and submitted to OGSP for institutional endorsement prior to forwarding the revisions to the agency. Revisions, either programmatic or budgetary, which represent substantial changes to the original proposal must be reviewed and approved by OGSP and Georgia College administration in the same manner as a new proposal.
If the grant agency contacts the PI/PD about revisions, please contact OGSP for guidance and the appropriate documents and procedures to use.

FRANKLIN — When prosecutors in Williamson County tried to ban a defense attorney from referring to them as "the government" in court, defense attorney Drew Justice had a demand of his own:
From now on, call me "Captain Justice."
A war of words broke out in an attempted aggravated burglary case in Williamson County Circuit Court between prosecutors and Justice, who is defending one of two people in the case. In May, fed up with Justice referring to prosecutors as "the government," Assistant District Attorney Tammy Rettig filed a motion to ban Justice from using the term in trial.
"The State has noticed in the past few years that it has become commonplace during trials for attorneys for defendants, and especially Mr. Justice, to refer to State's attorneys as 'the Government,' " she wrote in her motion. "The State believes that such a reference is used in a derogatory way and is meant to make the State's attorney seem oppressive and to inflame the jury."Keep reading from The Tennessean. comments powered by Disqus

Comment Don't listen to Nick (Score 4, Insightful) 429 429
Nick Denton is an idiot. He runs Gawker Media, which is itself a joke of a syndication network. He hires wannabe journalists and gives them bags of cash to bribe industry insiders into leaking stories so he can put them on his blogs. Of course the comments sections on Gawker Media sites are stupid. He also dismisses the politically charged and logically sound comments on Jezebel, which I wouldn't call the epitome of intelligent discourse on the internet, but it's definitely heads and shoulders above anything else hosted by Gawker.
Look at the comments on this Ars Technica piece: all topical and useful. Look at this comment thread (particularly this one! one of the most helpful comments I've ever read) about someone learning how to program in Perl.
In TFA, Denton says:
Give other commenters more power to "up-vote" or "down-vote" posts? "We don't really believe in the democratic process of decision-making when it comes to discussion," Denton said.
What a prick. Of course he doesn't believe in the democratic power of anything, because he's authoritarian, narrow-minded, grossly incompetent as a "journalist"—and deplorable as an editor, too—and all Gawker media sites (I'd entertain a counterargument defending Jezebel) operate on one rule: feed the trolls. Not all the examples of good comments I gave above have user-moderation systems in place, but the ones that don't just have good content that attracts good readers. Nick wouldn't know anything about that.
Comment Re:Innovation in licensing (Score 1) 40 40
Could you expand on why you think this is better than just going with the GPL? Just asking out of curiosity. The obvious downside is of course license proliferation.
Personally, I don't view "license proliferation" as nearly as much a threat to the open web as inadequate variety to ensure a viable software ecosystem. You'd never say there are too many programming languages out there, would you? Just different approaches, different tools for different needs. In the same way, there's no single license that pleases everybody, and the MPL is not that panacea. Even though FLOSS is a huge part of the future of software in my estimation, the GPL in particular tends to scare some folks off of open source licenses, because they feel bullied and restricted by the mandate to share their code immediately with the world. In my eyes, this makes the GPL less free than similar licenses that allow for proprietary development (like MPL and MIT).

Try installing Tomato or DDWRT and tweak the maximum number of simultaneous connections value. Raising that will dramatically improve your performance with BT. This will use up significantly more RAM on the router, though, so try to use a model that has beefy hardware (for a consumer-grade home router).

Of course. I think what Parent was saying is that better than this philosophy you identify is to implement an ethos of doing the job well. As this case illustrates, that would have been a better approach to take than focusing on "keeping investors' wallets open." Funnily enough, doing the job well is often a better approach, no matter what your jaded perspective on American commercialism may be (which actually feeds into the corrupt mentality of faking goods to get money).

I sometimes get in trouble for interrupting others. I interrupt others more than I probably should, and it is something I plan on working on. Yet, when I started paying more attention to my own actions (and I do interrupt a good amount), it brought up another clear pattern: the gentleman, who had recently pointed out my bad behavior, committed the same social offenses. I wondered if interrupting itself was the issue, or if perhaps a woman interrupting makes the act more socially unacceptable.
Interrupting is an aggressive act. When you interrupt someone, you are dominating the dialogue. This domination implies that you believe your contributions are more important than others and that you posses more or better knowledge. By interrupting, you indicate that you deserve more of the discussion space. Interestingly, research supports that women are less likely to take up this public discussion space. VIDA, an organization for female authors, recently released a study on tracked bylines for a variety of online and print publications, finding huge gender disparities. A second analysis completed by Hagen-Dillon found that publications such as the New York Times and Washington Post had the lowest female writers at around 25 percent. Online sources tend to have more female voices, though most contributors are still male. Content for websites such as Wikipedia, which has a significant impact on our collective knowledge, is also largely submitted by males. Even the debate on public policy shows huge gaps in gender: in the Senate we only hold 17 out of 100 seats, and in the House we hold around 75 out of 435 seats. This amounts to about 17 percent of the U.S. Congress.
Woman's voices are under-represented. Interestingly these disparities are not simply due to organizations ignoring female voices, as data supports that women to a large degree are choosing not to participate in public debates. Even though I use the word "choose," social gender identity can influence many subtle behaviors that make it harder for women to be included. Women have been socialized to believe it is polite to wait their turn to speak, and have been taught not to retaliate against interruptions by others. The problem is that these rules only apply to women, and when we follow these social rules, we have to deal with the unfortunate consequences of being eliminated from the debate. It is not surprising that female professionals tend to report feeling ignored and dismissed by their peers and superiors.
As women, we have learned to discount our knowledge and ourselves in general. The underlying problem may be that we have internalized our own stereotypes, and feel that our knowledge doesn't matter. Growing up we perceive that we are not expected to stand in the intellectual spotlight, and we fear that taking center stage may make us overstep some boundary. It is difficult for us to say that we are an expert in something, let alone that we deserve to be at the forefront of public debate. Yet, having more diverse opinions would help us better understand the many complex issues affecting us all. If we ignore half of our population, we are really going to miss out on unique knowledge and creative ideas.
So perhaps next time someone points out that you interrupt too much…let him or her be offended.
