The Department of Education (DOE) has proposed a plan to temporarily move a grade from an overcrowded Corona school to a new campus slated to open in September.
If the plan is approved, some students at P.S. 330, located at 110-08 Northern Blvd., would be shifted to Q315, which is currently under construction at 43-18 97th Pl. for the 2015-2016 school year.
Students from two other schools have already been approved to be moved to the same location for the coming school year. In November, the Panel for Educational Policy approved a proposal to re-site P.S. 110 to building Q315, where it will be co-located with a new site of existing District 75 school P.S. 227.
If the DOE's proposal is approved, students from P.S. 330, P.S. 110 and P.S. 227 would be co-located at the Q315 building, meaning that they may share common spaces such as auditoriums, gyms, libraries and cafeterias in that building.
In February, it was determined that P.S. 330 could not accommodate kindergarten students in its building for the 2015-2016 school year. The re-siting and co-location of P.S. 330's kindergarten class is necessary to enroll kindergarten students at P.S. 330, DOE claims. This will provide a sufficient number of kindergarten seats in District 24, a historically overcrowded district, according to the DOE.
P.S. 110 currently has students in kindergarten through second grade at their building at 48-25 37th St. and will move to building Q315 before the 2015-2016 school year. With the move to Q315, P.S. 110 is planning on phasing in to serving students from kindergarten to grade five.
P.S. 110 is an existing non-zoned elementary school that serves students who are overflowed from their zoned schools in Corona and Elmhurst. In May, the District 24 Community Education Council approved a plan to create an elementary school zone for Q315. P.S. 110 will operate as a zoned elementary school starting in September 2015.
P.S. 330 is a zoned elementary school that serves students from kindergarten to fourth grade, and plans to phase in to cater to fifth-graders as well for the 2015-2016 school year.
According to the School Construction Authority, building Q315 will have a 1,110-student capacity and includes a designed space for a District 75 school. With this proposal, P.S. 110 is projected to serve 350 to 390 kindergarten through third-grade students, and P.S. is set to serve approximately 50 to 60 kindergarten students in Q315.
Opportunities for the public to speak on the subject will include two joint public hearings at 110-08 Northern Blvd. and 48-25 37th St. There are dedicated phone and email lines at 212-347-7621 and firstname.lastname@example.com.

Please Read Carefully Before Applying
Prior to starting the application process, you must determine your desired major and degree you wish to earn. If you wish to apply for the Medical Sciences Interdepartmental Area, you must also know the concentration/specialty you are desiring.
Applicants must hold the minimum of a baccalaureate degree or equivalent from a recognized college or university. Specific requirements for admission to a graduate program with full graduate standing are listed in the departmental sections. In general, admission to graduate programs requires a minimum GPA of 3.0 based on a four-point scale.
The qualification for admission to and graduation from the various programs of graduate study is dependent upon possession of the following technical standards:
- The intellectual capacity to meet curricular requirements.
- Physical ability to pursue administration, teaching and/or independent research.
- The ability to communicate effectively with mentors, peers and other professionals in the academic community.
- Sufficient emotional stability to permit management of the demands associated with the pursuit of professional activities.
These technical standards are minimum requirements for participation in graduate programs at UNMC which require significant laboratory or research-oriented activities. Individuals wishing to participate in programs with requirements for patient care or patient contact must have technical standards defined individually.
In summary, UNMC policies are in accord with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964,Title IX of the Educational Amendments of 1972, Sections 503 and 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, and Sections 799A and 854 of the Public Health Services Act.
Graduate Record Examination (GRE)
Applicants for admission are advised that their scores on the Graduate Record Examination constitute a desirable credential to submit in applying for admission and may be required for admission to certain programs. Arrangements to take the Graduate Record Examination may be made through the Educational Testing Service, CN6000, Princeton, New Jersey, 08541-6000. Institutional Code 6896 (Educational Testing Service website).
Official transcripts of all college work, undergraduate and graduate, from each school you have attended must be sent directly to UNMC Graduate Studies Office. "Issued to Student" transcripts are not acceptable. The transcripts and all other materials submitted in support of an application become the permanent property of the University of Nebraska Medical Center and will not be returned or forwarded to another individual, college, or agency.
*International applicants, please see additional information regarding transcripts.
Acceptance of Senior Credits
Seniors at an accredited institution who have obtained in advance the approval of the Dean for Graduate Studies may receive up to 12 hours of credit for graduate courses taken at any campus of the University of Nebraska, in addition to the courses necessary to complete their undergraduate work. Such credits must be earned within the twelve months prior to receipt of the baccalaureate.
Seniors in this University needing not more than nine hours of undergraduate credit to complete the bachelor's degree and wishing to register for graduate credit may be granted provisional admission to the Graduate College subject to receiving their baccalaureate degrees within one calendar year. Such applicants must follow the regular admission procedures. If admitted, such registration may count as residence in the Graduate College.
Course work taken for graduate credit at this institution prior to receipt of the baccalaureate degree may not always be accepted for transfer to other institutions as graduate work. Students admitted to professional colleges at the University of Nebraska may enroll in up to a total of nine credit hours of graduate-level courses (800 and 900 series) as electives in the professional curriculum with the approval of the dean of the professional college, the instructors for the graduate courses, and the Dean for Graduate Studies. In exceptional circumstances, registrations above nine credit hours may be permitted subject to the same approval.
Admission Decisions
The Graduate College is open to graduates of all the colleges of this University and to graduates of other universities and colleges of recognized standing whose requirements for graduation are substantially the same as those in the corresponding college of this University. Persons who have completed the requirements for, but have not yet received, the bachelor's degree may register in the Graduate College provisionally.
Admissions by the Dean for Graduate Studies to pursue graduate work are limited to the number that can best be handled to the advantage of the college and the students. Preference is given to residents of Nebraska, to individuals who wish to pursue study that can be adequately supported by UNMC resources, and to those who have adequate preparation and time for their proposed program.
Admission Status
Graduate students will be admitted to the following categories:
- Full Graduate Standing - students who have met the minimum requirements for admission and who have been accepted by a department or interdepartmental degree program for work leading to a graduate degree.
- Provisional Status - students who show potential for successful graduate work but have deficiencies in prerequisite course work or other admission stipulations. Students with Provisional Status cannot become candidates for a degree unless they are recommended for Full Graduate Standing by the cognizant Graduate Committee.
- Non-Degree Seeking Status- students who satisfy minimum admission requirements and desire to complete a minimum of course work without a degree objective.
Non-Degree Students
Students who wish to take graduate courses for professional growth, improvement of skills, or transfer of course credits to a degree program at another institution, but who do not anticipate working toward an advanced degree at UNMC, may apply to register as non-degree students subject to the following conditions:
- The student must comply with all requirements for admission to the Graduate College (see link to the left).
- The student must provide official transcripts reflecting receipt of an undergraduate degree or higher.
- The student must comply with all UNMC policies regarding student immunizations prior to registration as well as all Compliance Training Requirements assigned.
- Registration for each course taken as a non-degree student is subject to the approval of the course instructor and the Dean for Graduate Studies. In courses with limited enrollment, preference is given to degree-seeking students with full graduate standing.
- Readmittance as a non-degree student requires completion of a new application each semester. The application fee is waived for current non-degree students continuing their studies into the next semester. Readmittance is contingent upon the student maintaining the same academic standards as degree-seeking graduate students.
Should such students subsequently desire to pursue an advanced degree, they may change their status from non-degree to full graduate standing by submission of a complete application to the Graduate College as a degree-seeking student and admission into an appropriate program by the Dean for Graduate Studies.
Appropriate credits earned in the non-degree status may be used to fulfill graduate degree requirements only if approved by the program Graduate Committee, the student's Supervisory Committee, and the Dean for Graduate Studies. No more than one-third of the course work applied toward a graduate degree may be taken as a non-degree student.
Departmental and Group Requirements
Students who wish to become candidates for advanced degrees must fulfill the particular requirements of the program in which they wish to major as well as the general requirements of the Graduate College. Graduate students may be required to attain proficiency in their field of concentration by participation in the instruction of students in a regularly required course.
DISCLAIMER: In accordance with University Policy, UNMC prohibits the denial of admission or of Medical Center privileges to students or applicants on the basis of individual characteristics such as race, color, sex, national origin, age, disability, religious or political beliefs or sexual orientation. These privileges include but are not limited to admission, class assignments, scholarships, fellowships, assistantships, and financial aid, as well as housing and recreational facilities. Furthermore, student organizations must base their selection of students for membership on criteria which will not exclude students based upon individual characteristics such as race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability or sexual orientation.

Phillip was a photographer, dedicated naturalist and lifelong explorer of the outdoors. He taught us how to truly see quiet spaces, the strange, the simple, the beautiful and the awe inspiring around us. Never content with the middle of the road, he lived life to the beat of his own drum.
Phillip was born Dec. 2, 1977, in Atlanta and resided in Lilburn. He attended Lyman Ward Military Academy, Greater Atlanta Christian School and graduated from Parkview High School in 1995. Phillip spent the summers of his youth at his grandparents' house on Lake Burton. It was there he developed his passion for the Northeast Georgia mountains. He traveled extensively throughout the Southeastern states, hiked the northern portion of the Appalachian Trail through Maine, Vermont and New Hampshire, and participated in Habitat for Humanity as a volunteer building projects in Nepal, Fiji and New Zealand. His photo-documentation of these trips is legendary; however, he will always be best remembered for his published nature photography of the Northeast Georgia mountains.
We are all better people because we had the privilege to know Phillip. Words can never convey how much he was loved and will be missed by his family and friends. Phillip is survived by: his mother and stepfather, Sandra Bexley-Plott and Lonnie Plott; his father and stepmother, Earle George Lovell and Catherine Lovell; grandparents, Harry and Harriett Bexley; great aunt, Ann Rivers; sisters, Marla Bexley-Lovell and Anna Lovell; brother, Jeremy Lovell; stepbrother, Brent Plott; cousins, Alan, Lauren and Rob Bexley; nephew, Brendan Harrison Bexley Brown; and countless aunts, uncles, friends and neighbors.
Family and friends are cordially invited to attend a celebration of Phillip's life at 1 p.m. Sunday at Mama G's Italian Restaurant on Highway 441 in Clayton.

Sawyer Brown "Puttin' The Dark Back Into The Night" – Single Of The Day
Greetings from Asheville, where good music is always found on the turntable, in the CD player, or in the MP3 player. Today's Single Of The Day is one of thirty-six that would grace the Country 40 for the group Sawyer Brown. The 1984 Star Search winners enjoyed a good hit-making career between 1984 and 2005, with nineteen singles making the top 10. They would also score three number one singles, as well. Though it's now seven years since their last Country 40 appearance, Sawyer Brown continues to record and tour throughout the country.
1990 wasn't the greatest year, hit-wise, for Sawyer Brown. They made three appearances on the Country 40, but none peaked higher than thirty-three, including today's Single Of The Day. "Puttin' The Dark Back Into The Night" was the second of those three, and also the second to peak at thirty-three. A Country-rocker typical of the Sawyer Brown sound, I've always felt like it is one of their more unheralded efforts, deserving of a much higher chart placing than it ultimately got. I don't profess to know all the reasons why or why not, but I think one big reason is the changing sound of Country music, at that time, as it was the era of the New Traditionalists, and the more pop-laden, and even rock-laden sounds were being pushed off the radio.
Sawyer Brown, though, would enjoy more success, though, as they would return to the top 10, the following year, with "The Walk", of which it, and many of their ensuing releases, would have a different sound; still a Country-rock infused style, but with noticeable more country feel to it.
Saving vinyl, one record at a time.

How to enable Airplane mode in Windows 8By Lawrence Abrams on December 11, 2012 | Last Updated: January 25, 2013 | Read 28,812 times.
As Windows 8 is designed to be used on mobile devices as well as computers, it includes a new Airplane mode that allows you to disable all radios on the device with one setting. These radio devices include wireless, bluetooth, and other mobile network connections. This mode is named Airplane mode because it is necessary to turn off all radio devices when flying on a plane. By enabling airplane mode in Windows 8, you can continue to use the Windows 8 device to watch movies, play games, or to do work even when flying.
To enable Airplane mode open the Settings charm bar by pressing the Windows key and at the same time press the I key ( + ) on your keyboard. This will open the Settings Charm Bar as shown below.
Click on the wireless network connections button as indicated by the red arrow in the image above. This will open a list of available wireless network connections as well as the Airplane Mode setting.
To enable Airplane mode, change the Airplane Mode setting to On. When you do this, all the wireless connections on your Windows 8 device will turn off as shown below.
While Airplane mode is on you can continue to use Windows 8 as normal except you will no longer be able to connect to wireless or bluetooth devices.
Windows will indicate Airplane mode is enabled both on the Windows 8 Start Screen and on the classic desktop. On the Start Screen, Airplane mode will be shown in the Settings charm bar as shown below.
Notice how the wireless connections button has now changed to a Airplane.
Windows will also indicate you are in Airplane mode on the desktop by showing a little airplane in the Windows taskbar where your normal wireless notification icon would appear.
Once you are off the plane and allowed to use wireless devices, you can disable Airplane mode and enable your wireless connections by going back into the Settings Charm bar. Once there click on the Airplane button and disable Airplane mode. Once it is disabled, Windows 8 will automatically attempt to connect to any network connections that you have configured and are available.
If you have any questions about these settings, please ask in the Windows 8 Forum.

Hitchiti Dancers entertain at Port St. Lucie Elks' pancake breakfast
PORT ST. LUCIE - On a recent Saturday, the Port St. Lucie Elks Lodge #2658 hosted a pancake breakfast for the Florida State Elks Association President Sean Maguire and his Party. This was part of his Visitation to the Southeast Central Florida Elks Lodges. The event was attended by 60 people and everyone had a great breakfast.
Those present were treated to a great performance of Native American Dances put on by about 30 of the Boy Scouts of America, Venture Crew #157, Hitchiti Dancers. The group is made up of Boys and Girls, ages 14 to 21, from the Palm Beach and treasure Coast areas. The youths perform traditional Native American Dances in Regalia which they themselves make. The group was formed 40 years ago to help them understand the Heritage of the Native Americans and to pay tribute to their customs.
Following the performance of the Hitchiti Dancers, Crew Chief Glen Alexander was presented a check for $500 by FSEA State President Sean Maguire on behalf of the 10 Southeast Central Elks Lodges. The donation is to help the group with making their Regalia which can cost as much as $1,000 to $1,500.

Court filing says ship in Texas spill was speeding
JUAN A. LOZANO // Associated Press
HOUSTON (AP) — The owner of a tugboat that collided with a ship last month, dumping nearly 170,000 gallons of oil into the Houston Ship Channel, claims in court filings the ship was speeding and being operated in a reckless manner.
In court documents filed earlier this month, Houston-based Kirby Inland Marine alleges the March 22 collision was caused by gross negligence on the part of Sea Galaxy Marine, the ship's owner.
In its own court filings, Sea Galaxy says the collision was not its fault. An attorney for Sea Galaxy declined to comment because of the ongoing investigation.
The U.S. Coast Guard, which is still investigating the accident's cause, did not immediately return a phone call for comment. A spokesman for Kirby Inland also did not return a call.

Neighborhood watch
32 Responses
good one, wish both sides would quit posturizing and get to root of problem. But, times may change, but astitudes don't
So many players … so many agendas … so pathetic.
Never mind that one person is dead, and the future of another hangs in the balance.
Tragic local incident made worse by race baiters and melodramatic rabbi from Troy. Please spare me. Also, we have not had the results of the boy's tox screen yet. May shed some light on what happened.
And here I thought there was no "Indictment" in this case. It was a simple arrest based upon a Criminal Information that was filed with prosecutors. Of course I could have missed the Grand Jury too.
"In most common-law jurisdictions, an indictment is handed up by a grand jury, which returns a "true bill" if it found cause to make the charge, or "no bill" if it does not find cause. The right of one accused of a felony or serious crime to have the charges reviewed for probable cause by a grand jury before being tried by a petit jury, except for certain cases tried in courts-martial, is secured by the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States, but this has been abolished in most parts of the world."
We learned long ago that if there is a chance that a Grand Jury will come back with a "No Bill" ruling, it is much more favorable to simply go around the Grand Jury process.
Travon Martin should still be alive. The man that committed the homocide was wrong to do so. I look forward to the Justice process taking its course and deciding the case. Travon's mother has said she will continue to trust the system no matter what decision the system returns.
The flip side of this might just be, had all the loud mouths screaming for justice, as an excuse and cover for their ill advised "rush to judgment" in the absence of factual data, been able to contain their emotions, and put their agenda aside, "Justice" may have been able to reach it's assessment a lot earlier, with a lot less meaningless fanfare.
Just to what extent this water has been irrevocably polluted by the antics, self serving theater and exaggerated emotions of eager hucksters will not be fully understood until "Justice" renders a final decision and the loud mouths get their final bite of this apple.
Justice is not perfect, but she is blind and it's that blindness that forces her to take the necessary time to weigh, and carefully consider, all the evidence and circumstances before reaching her final conclusion.
phil – The root of the problem is having gun possession and use laws so lax, that any idiot can walk around with one in their pocket.
When the Affidavit of Probable Cause supporting the second degree murder prosecution was made public, it was denounced by critics like Alan Dershowitz, who termed it disgraceful and unethical. Earlier today, Andy McCarthy, a former federal prosecutor, weighed in at The Corner. He also found the Affidavit wanting.
The Affidavit, however, suggests that, despite the extraordinary investigation that has been carried out, the prosecutor may not have much real evidence against Zimmerman.
IKTM, Let's start with I don't have a gun and never have. However, the problem is with threatening thugs and criminals, whatever their race. If you think everyone can walk around with a gun you have never tried to get a pistol permit in Albany County.
Phil – What does your having, or not having, a gun have to do with the truth of my last post? The availability of guns, both legal and illegal, and the expansion of hidden carry 'rights', with expanded justifications for their use, has placed a dangerous trigger point in the gun debate. The unfortunate happenstance that caused a Skittle armed seventeen year old to end up in a coffin, are a direct result of what the Right and its mouthpiece (the NRA) have wrought upon us. Idiots in possession of guns, can only lead to more useless death, and the proliferation of illegal guns is only fed by states where handguns can be gotten legally by anyone, and then sold into the illegal market, which knows no state boundaries.
Just wanted to make it clear that I am not a so called "gun nut". You avoid the 2nd amendment and a right to defend yourself.
Phil – Not everything is specifically about you, just what you support, and why.
Neighborhood watch does not mean neighborhood "get out and follow after the 911 operator told you not to".
He provoked the confrontation and killed that unarmed boy.
It is possible that both Oates and IKTM will have to eat crow when the results of the investigation come out. Then, of course, the left has no shame. It is possible the young man may have played a role in all this. Some of us are willing to wait for the facts.
Not a chance, having earned being served crow, an uncountable number of times, neither has ever seen the value of tasing what they've earned.
Phil – That has nothing to do with the STUPIDITY of the law as it stands in Florida, and the future lives that will be lost as a result of having such an abomination on the books, ANYWHERE.
" It is possible the young man may have played a role in all this"
Phil, what role exactly would an unarmed young man need to play in order to justify being shot to death by a neighborhoods wanna-be cop?
I think that there will be some changes to the law, but unfortunately for all the wrong reasons. A lot of attention is being paid to the criminal trial taking place. There is also discussion of a civil suit. There is sufficient grounds for a wrongful death suit and since Zimmerman was in the neighborhood watch, which was endorsed by the neighborhood association, everybody in the area is likely to be paying for this.
At the very least it will likely lead to much more comprehensive screening and training of the neighborhood watch. It's sad to say, but if the law is changed it will be to protect people from being sued, not to stop another tragedy like this.
Here's a guy who gets it.
A murdered black man's life means nothing unless it is perpetrated by a non black. Watch this video.
Oates 77 – by your post #13 – He provoked the confrontation – couldn't Mr Martin have kept walking and thus be alive today? I want to be clear, I am not placing blame on the unarmed 17 year old who assaulted someone for "provoking" him. Why not walk away? I prefer to see and hear all of the facts before jumping to conclusions.
IKTM – you need to move to another country like France where just brandishing a handgun will get you years in prison.
BTW this was all over the news before I went out of the country for a week now it is hardly a whisper. Ask yourself, why?
Tom @ 20… before I come to a conclusion let me ask: Is it your contention (it sure reads this way) that a man with a gun can follow someone for a ways, even though told not to by someone in authority, and then shoot the person he is following. Why didn't HE walk away.
Instead, you put the onus on the person being followed who "stood his ground" against a perceived danger (he was followed for some distance by someone who didn't identify himself, didn't show any form of identification, didn't wear a uniform). Maybe "standing his ground" doesn't count because the young man didn't have a gun.
I'm just not clear on this point…is the law only applicable when you are armed? What if Zimmerman had "pistol-whipped" his way to safety? Would he be protected by the "stand your ground" law because he "used" a gun?
Tom Foolery – When gun possession is easy, guns end up in the hands of fools, who then end up doing foolish things. This is a truth that cannot be denied, even by you.
You might consider, INTIM, it's most often the fool themself, that is responsible for doing foolish things, whether those things involve a gun, a knife, a bat, a bomb or any other foolish excess.
One thing worthy of clarification is correcting this somewhat new concept that simply following someone, is a criminal act. People follow other people every day, everywhere. Most following of course, is purely accidental, but even where following is specific it is not, nor certainly should be considered, threatening, much less criminal, unless there is some overt additional action involved. The legality of carrying a firearm when following someone, whether accidentally or deliberately, would be determined by whether, or not, that person is licensed to carry that firearm, and what was done with it.
Those of us who, don't have access to unknow details or vivid imaginations, simply don't KNOW if Mr. Zimmerman continued to follow Mr. Martin, or if so for how far, or if he broke off his action after being advised (not told) was ill advised and was waling away from confrontation, rather than towards it.
Perceived danger, absent an actual confrontation, from someone following, may be a license for caution, but absent some further provocation, is not a license for taking defensive action.
There is/was no requirement for Mr. Zimmerman to identify himself or explain his actions, on the contrary, such a confrontation would not be adviseable and was so advised by the 911 operator. Unless Mr. Martin was directly confronted, he had no reason to, "stand his ground". Absent any suggestion that Mr. Zimmerman brandished his gun, or that Mr. Martin even knew a gun was present, aside from the manner in which the incident concluded, the presence of a gun seems immaterial.
Hopefully, all of the unanswered questions surrounding this tragedy will be uncovered, reviewed and answered, through the proper legal exercise in a court of law and all the speculation, imaginings and fabrications and assumptions can be properly discarded.
Albert J – A kid armed with Skittles is dead, and you are giving the benefit of doubt to an armed stalker who shot him, when there was no cause, and instructions from authorities, not to follow him? Please, the dance that was done, and the contradictory butt covering by Zimmerman, after the fact, casts a longer shadow on this than warrants your jumping in to muddy the water.
The trouble is, IKTIM and others are so ready to blame "access to guns" as the problem when the root problem, particularly in this situation, was a series of bad choices, by both parties.
Zimmerman, ostensibly a Neighborhood Watch "captain," violated NW protocol by going on his route armed. It is my understanding that NW policy is that NO NW member is to go armed, even if they are legally permitted to do so. Second mistake was disregarding the dispatcher to advised him not to follow Martin. Third mistake was engaging Martin. As a NW member, he, of all people, should know better. You are supposed to observe and report ONLY, not engage.
Martin, by all accounts, made mistakes as well. First was going about after dark essentially dressed as a gangster. I know people will say that what you wear shouldn't make a difference, and they're right. But we live in a human society, and that means living with our flaws, one of which is that we label people via our perceptions. You dress as a gangster, you get treated like a gangster. I dare say if he were dressed in a polo shirt and chinos, he wouldn't have been given a second look. Martin's second mistake was engaging the "suspicious man who's following me". Big mistake.
The tragedy is that one life is ended and another is ruined, simply by the convergence of stupid, unnecessary, preventable mistakes. Had either of them failed to react out of fear, this tragedy may not have occurred.
Falconnier, only one person "failed to react out of fear" and that was the coward with the gun.
Not the youth with the Skittles.
The single most present and totally unnecessary factor in all this back and forth is the continual posturing and speculation on what "coulda, shoulda, might've" happened that has yet to be established by evidence and investigation. You can keep trying to throw fuel on a fire you're bound and determined to start, INTIM, but the reality is your fuel is so transparent it is not combustable.
Oates77, making "stuff" up to suit your fantacies, only makes you look silly.
Obviously, you haven't been paying attention. Check out any news story re: his girlfriend's statement….
You can't place the entire blame on Zimmerman, just because he had a gun. I know it's easy, and convenient, and it fits with your preconceived bias and prejudice, but there's much more to this incident than that.
No gun=no death.
Say what you want, but that is unavoidable.
The only one with "preconceived bias and prejudice" was the coward with the gun who got out of his car and provoked a confrontation after the 911 operator told him not to.

Instagram is all about images and can be great for mobile marketing. For instance companies can upload photos of food or clothing which is selling well and put their location and opening hours on the post (ditto with 'behind the scenes' photos) or encourage others to upload photos for a particular competition.
Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter all boast engaging mobile apps, says the Australian business coach. The way to use Facebook in mobile marketing terms is to take advantage of their 'nearby' option which recommends businesses close to an individual's current location. Promotional posts are good too, along with Facebook coupons.
LinkedIn allows businesses to arrange 'coffee dates' with potential clients as well as offer promotions via shared groups.
Twitter offers a 'promoted tweets' feature which chimes with hashtags, there is also an option to send images direct to Twitter via Smartphones.
QR codes provide individuals with a way of accessing more information in an instant via their Smartphone. For a company they allow it to embed codes into their marketing collateral that tech savvy mobile users can scan. QR codes are very adaptable and can be added to business cards, brochures, posters, and flyers, says the popular coach. Once the code is canned it can direct potential consumers to a landing page with incentives to sign-up for a newsletter or take advantage of a one-time immediate discount on a purchase.

Published Wednesday, November 28, 2012
From Staff Reports
Coweta County Tax Commissioner Tommy Ferrell reminds taxpayers that 2012 state, county and school property taxes are due Dec. 3 this year since the normal due date of Dec. 1 falls on a weekend.
Property tax bills were mailed the first of October. If a taxpayer has not received a bill on any property which they have the responsibility of paying, they should check with the Tax Commissioner's Office in the Coweta County Administration Building for the amount due to insure payment is made on or before Dec. 3. Late charges begin accruing after that date.
Taxpayers may also view and print their tax bills on line at www.cowetataxcom.com . Tax bills may also be paid on the website through PayPal.
Appeals – If a taxpayer appealed their 2012 property valuation with the Tax Assessor's Office and that appeal has not been settled; the taxpayer received a bill the first of October based on 85 percent of the Assessor's proposed value as required by Georgia law.
Those bills are also due Dec. 3 with late charges accruing if not paid by that date.
Property owners who purchased their property after Jan. 1, 2012 should remember that tax bills are mailed to the legal owner of record as of Jan. 1. However, responsibility for payment of taxes would have been determined at closing, normally with the new owner becoming responsible.
Failure to have received a tax bill in the mail will not cause late charges to be waived if paid after the due date. The Tax Commissioner's Office cannot guarantee receipt of a tax bill in the mail.
Taxpayers are encouraged to mail their payments whenever possible. Official USPS postmarks are accepted. Visa, Mastercard and American Express are accepted with a 2.5 percent administration fee. Debit cards are accepted at the counter with a $2 fee per transaction. Also, an overnight payment drop box is located at the Perry Street entrance to the County Administration Building.
Office hours are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, except for the third Wednesday in each month when the office opens at 8:30.

Chain, chain, chain…. chain of interdependencies
September 01 2009 | Culture Shifting, Jim's Blog,
by Jim
I dig Story of Stuff for this reason as it attempts to illustrate this larger context of our rampant consumerism.
For me it updates Sir Isaac Newton's law... and suggests when we do anything, even download a song from itunes, we are causing an action (of more likely a myriad of actions) elsewhere.
Check out this story about Saint-Michel-en-Greve, France.
Let's start with the end of the chain, tourism is down. It's a big enough deal that the French Premier is feeling a bit of pressure to clean up the pollution giving Saint-Michel-en-Greve a bad name. How did things get to this point? Well... picture the idyllic scene of a man on a horse riding down a wide beach in France. The person stops, the horse steps into some rotting algae... and horse dies within seconds.
Um. What?
I was just getting that picture in my mind and then the horse died in seconds?!
The rest of the chain...
Farmers in the area are using fertilizers. Those fertilizers don't stay on land, they make their way to the ocean. In the ocean they cause algae blooms. Those blooms eventually die off. When they die they release noxious fumes. In the ocean it's not as noticeable by townspeople or the press. But we're talking about the land/sea connection here... so the rotting algae washes onshore and sits there.
Now if you're not an animal enthusiast or don't have an ounce of love in your body for horses you may say "who cares, we're talking about a horse not a person?" or something closer to what I hear all the time from enviro-naysayers "why are you putting animals above people?"
This isn't a story about horses. The poor horse was in the wrong place at the wrong time. It's a story about ecosystem-based management. It's a story about actions and reactions. It's a story about coastal economic drivers. It's a story about tiny coastal villages getting gaining notoriety in global press for the wrong reasons. It's a story about political will.
This is a story about interdependency.
So as we're all getting to work, getting that fancy smancy coffee or leaving our monitor on all night... let's try and stop for a moment and understand the chain.

The Netherlands at the Salone del Gusto 2010
The Netherlands is bringing 5 Presidia (products protected by Slow Food) to the Salone del Gusto while its most famous cheese, Gouda, features in a Taste Workshop (guided tasting).
The Taste Workshops, designed to make people aware of the outstanding quality of artisan food product, present tasting sessions guided by experts, producers, farmers, artisans and winegrowers.
The Slow Food Gouda Presidium features alongside other cheeses in one of these events (Mon Oct 25, 4 pm – The Presidium Six Nations).
Spread around the Marketplace and divided by geographic area, over 200 stands (identified by the orange color) will be displaying the cheeses, cured meats, breads, sweets, vegetables, fruits, grains and honeys protected by Slow Food.
Eastern Scheldt Lobster
The Eastern Scheldt is a deep bay in the North Sea that opens along the Zeeland coast. The Eastern Scheldt Lobster, also known as the Zeeland lobster, is cobalt blue in color, turning deep red when cooked. A member of the European lobster family, it is caught in conical nets called fulken rather than being trapped. The fishermen return small lobsters and females with eggs to the bay. Males that are at least 24 centimeters long are kept in containers filled with seawater and sold fresh.
Production Area: Eastern Scheldt bay, Zeeland
Aged Artisan Gouda
Artisan Gouda bears no resemblance to its industrial cousins usually coated in a thick layer of plastic. It is compact, sweet and yellow. When properly made it has a lingering aftertaste with a touch of acidity balanced by the roundness of caramelized milk. The Presidium supports the few producers who continue to graze their cows on peat meadows and produce large forms of at least 20 kilos, aged from two to four years.
Production Area: Green Hart, between the cities of Amsterdam, Rotterdam and Utrecht
Drenthe Heath Sheep
With long spiral horns, and a coat ranging from reddish brown to grey or white, the Drenthe Heath Sheep is one the oldest sheep breeds in Western Europe. Small in size, it can remain outdoors the whole year, grazing on the arid, sandy soils of the Drenthe heathlands. The conservation of its natural environment is crucial to the survival of this breed. The Presidium will promote meat from the sheep in local restaurants as well as developing an education center for schools with information on the breed's history, its characteristics and heathland habitat.
Production Area: Drenthe province, northeastern Netherlands
Kempen Heath Sheep
The Kempen Heath Sheep has a white fleece, elegant profile and no horns. It is a hardy breed which spends its days outdoors throughout the year. Heathland grazing plays a crucial role in conserving the natural environment and also results in an excellent, tender meat with herbal flavors. The Presidium's goals are to preserve this sheep breed and reintroduce free-range grazing as a way of conserving the heathland.
Production Area: Kempen region, southern Netherlands
Limburg Syrup
Traditional Limburg syrup is made using 60% pears and 40% apples which are exclusively old varieties harvested from local orchards. The fruit is boiled in a copper pot in direct contact with the flame and the juice filtered off without adding any other ingredients.
Created as a way of preserving fruit during winter, since the Second World War stroop has increasingly become an industrial product and the fruit trees growing local varieties have begun to disappear. A group of producers has recovered the traditional recipe, reintroduced the old tools and revived artisan production.
Production Area: Southern part of the Dutch province of Limburg and neighboring areas in Belgium (Limburg and Land van Herve) and Germany

What is Ice Bowl®?
The Ice Bowl is a collection of disc golf events that are held each year in January and February with an overall mission of raising funds to fight hunger. Related goals include having fun and connecting the disc golf community in a positive way to the community at large.
I'd like to promote an Ice Bowl® in my community. What do I need to do to get started?
A. Decide which charity to support. Moving forward, we are emphasizing Ice Bowl's historical charitable purpose: to feed the hungry. Therefore, check out local food banks, food pantries, or larger multi-faceted charities that have feeding the hungry as one of their missions.
B. Select a date or dates with in the Ice Bowl Corridor of January 3-March 3 that you would like to run your Ice Bowl¨. You might check with neighboring communities to minimize scheduling conflicts.
C. Check with the government entity (usually a Parks Department) that oversees the park or the manager of a private course for permission to use the course.
D. Fill out the online registration form at icebowlhq.com or the downloadable registration form that can be emailed, faxed, or snail mailed. Here's a link:
We never get any ice where we live. Can we still hold an Ice Bowl® and why?
Absolutely! When Ice Bowl began in 1987, we called it as a day of disc golf solidarity in the middle of winter. Sunbelt states were encouraged to participate for that reason, and also, for the irony. Even though the name may not fit your wintertime climate, when you are raising money for a local charity and let the media know about it, your chances of getting some positive publicity are good. Several of our top fundraisers are from states where winter is usually not that big of a deal.
What have other Ice Bowls done to raise funds?
There are several ways to raise more money for your events, but they usually fall into one of these two broad and often overlapping categories: (1) finding sponsors and (2) getting money from tournament participants.
Finding sponsors is never easy, but potential sponsors are more likely help out when they know that the main purpose of the event is to raise money for charity. The most direct way to get money for your Ice Bowl charity is by asking for it from businesses and individuals. Putting together a sponsorship form is important, especially when approaching businesses. Although the money you're asking for may go entirely to your charity, a company chooses to sponsor events because they want exposure for their company and/or products. So, your sponsorship proposal should offer them exposure through logos on flyers, banners at the event, and inclusion in any advertising you may do. St. Cloud, Minnesota used a sponsorship form (download it below) enroute to collecting over $14,000 last year. Another effective pre-event fundraising is soliciting small donations from individuals. Saint Cloud also created a pledge sheet as a way to solicit smaller donations from individuals. Click here for the sponsorship form and here for the pledge form.
There are some corporations that support local charitable causes. Check with your employer to see if they will match your donation or Google for "corporate matching gifts" and see what you can find. Also, if you apply by December 1, 2014, your charity may be eligible for a $1000 grant via the Wal Mart Foundation. To make application, go here.
Other Funding Ideas
Often getting cash from sponsors is hard, but sometimes businesses, including restaurants and bars, sporting goods stores, other retailers, and individual disc golfers will donate gift certificates and/or merchandise that can be brokered into charitable donations at the event. For instance, if there were enough donated schwag, it could be used to "pay out" the winners, thus allowing the entry fees to go to the charity. Some Ice Bowls have auctioned off merchandise, most successfully when the donated items are rare disc golf discs.
Other communities sell closest to the pin tickets where the person who wins gets first choice of the prizes. The CTP contest can go on all day. To get more people to play, it's not a bad idea to limit each person to one prize. This kind of CTP contest is especially effective if the first prize is very valuable and also if there are lots of lesser prizes.
Donated items can also be turned to cash via a raffle. Again, having a desirable object of some value, such as basket or sport team tickers, etc., as the top prize will sell more tickets. A good thing about a raffle is that tickets can be sold before the event and at the event until the drawing is made.
Another fundraising idea that has been used extensively is selling mulligans. Some Ice Bowls limit the number that can be purchased or how or when they can be used. However, some Ice Bowls have placed no limits on mulligans. A few years back, Memphis encouraged would-be winners to "buy a victory," and it happened, which greatly benefited their charity.
Some Ice Bowls run a series of warm-up tourneys in which the profits are directed towards Ice Bowl charities.
How do we have fun or more fun?
One thing that has remained constant in disc golf through its 35 years of existence is that disc golfers are experts at having fun. Because there are many opportunities for more serious competition within the sport, the emphasis with Ice Bowl has been primarily about fun and charity. Thus, less-formal, creative, and even "goofy" formats for these winter events have often been used. So, try something different! Play the course backwards. Create new tees. Try a new kind of doubles or triples or team golf. (One Ice Bowl tried blindfolded doubles.) Others have used the card game RIPT to spice things up. Competition is, of course, important but it's good to remember that it's only January/February and there is a full competitive season coming up.
Having communal feasts at Ice Bowls has proven very popular; with chili as the main course most of the time. Some Ice Bowls have chili contests and give out prizes. Other have sold the chili or asked for donations, which went to the their charity.
Ideally, an Ice Bowl should be perceived as a great opportunity to have a whole bunch of fun, to do some good for the world, while getting some positive PR for disc golf in your town.
Our community finds it more fun when the golf is competitive and by the rules. Should we run an Ice Bowl¨?
Although we find that a PDGA-sanctioned Ice Bowl is a bit of an oxymoron, if this is your orientation, then the PDGA's Competition Endowment Program should prove attractive. The usual requirements for sanctioning are still in force and there are other stipulations. One of them is that the $2 PDGA per player fee is donated to the event charity and must be matched by the event. A minimum of 25% of entry fees must be donated to event charity, which must be a 501 (c) (3) entity. For full information about this program, go here.
How can we get the media aware of what we are doing?
Prepare a news release to be distributed at least a week to 10 days before the event. Follow this up with phone calls three to five days before tee-off. For TV stations, contact the weekend assignment editor. Faxing or emailing news releases saves time and money. Another avenue is the public service announcement (PSA). A sample news release and a PSA can be downloaded at the address below. Be sure to utilize both print and online versions of newspapers (including free weeklies) for free calendar listings. For a sample news release, go here.
May we run an "Ice Bowl® without a charitable outreach?
No. We require that all disc golf tournaments that use the name "Ice Bowl¨" to raise money and/or food for a recognized charity, ideally one that helps fight hunger. In other words, if you are not interested in charitable fundraising, you will not be granted permission to use Ice Bowl¨ as part of your tournament's name.
How much does it cost to register an Ice Bowl? May we still hold an Ice Bowl and not buy any merchandise?
There is no cost to register your Ice Bowl® and there is no requirement to purchase any Ice Bowl merchandise. Yes, that's right, we ask for no other investment for you to run an Ice Bowl except for your time in organizing the event, raising money for a charity, and filing an Ice Bowl report form when it's over.
How can I buy some cool Ice Bowl discs, shirts, headgear, and minis?
Indicate on the registration form that you want a merchandise order form and when it's ready, we'll send you one.
May we make or create our own Ice Bowl® clothing or discs, using either the official logo or one of our own?
Ice Bowl® is a registered trademark owned by Disc Golf World, Inc. Please contact Rick Rothstein at firstname.lastname@example.com about licensing possibilities. Once you register your event, you are licensed to use the words "Ice Bowl" and this year's logo to publicize your event.
What about insurance for my Ice Bowl?
We cannot provide insurance. One solution that several events utilized in 2012 was registering their events with the PDGA through its Competition Endowment Program. (See #5 above.)
What is this Ice Bowl Contest?
The Ice Bowl Contest awards prizes to those Ice Bowls that raise the most money for charity. To be eligible, an Ice Bowl must register its event as an Ice Bowl¨ with Disc Golf World; support an approved charity; and report the results (attendance, weather, donations, and verification of the donations) of your Ice Bowl to Disc Golf World by April 15, 2014.
Where can I learn more about the history of Ice Bowl?
There are several stories, summarizing Ice Bowl at icebowlhq.com. Also, you can go here to view photos and other media on Facebook. Here's a link to a Brief History of Ice Bowl.
Where should I go with questions?
Contact Rick Rothstein the Ice Bowl Instigator at 816.471.3472 or 888.237.6884 or email@example.com. Or visit us at 509 E 18th St, KC, MO 64108. Also, once an Ice Bowl is approved, the TD has access to the back end of icebowlhq.com, where many useful documents reside.

Five Other Shows That Should Change Their Titles
So I'm glad they're changing it. This isn't unprecedented. 'Valerie' changed its title to 'The Hogan Family' when Valerie Harper left, 'James at 15' changed to 'James at 16' when the character got older, and the sitcom 'It's A Living' changed to 'Making A Living.' Maybe they can do this for other shows that have either changed their focus or have changed in other ways. Here are my five suggestions.
1. 'Three Men' ('Two and a Half Men'). The kid is now six feet tall, shaving and has a deeper voice than Brenda Vaccaro. The "half man" in the title doesn't really make sense anymore, so they should change the title. It can actually be a clever move for a show -- especially a long-running one -- to change its name. It can revitalize the show a bit, at least in the eyes of viewers, and can reflect the current state of the show. Of course, if Charlie Sheen leaves they might have to tweak the title even more ('Two Men'?), but it's my bet he isn't going anywhere.
Maybe they can add a baby to the show like a lot of long-running sitcoms do and change the name to 'Three Men and a Baby.'
2. 'Christine' ('The New Adventures of Old Christine'). Now that "new Christine" has been on the show for a while and we all know that "old Christine" has been getting into "adventures" (whatever that means) since the very first episode, so it's sort of a long, unnecessary title now.
ABC might be interested in the show, so maybe they can just shorten it to 'Christine.'
3. 'Extreme Makeover' ('Extreme Makeover: Home Edition'). This show got its name because there was an earlier show titled 'Extreme Makeover' that focused on body makeovers and plastic surgery, so they gave it a different name to show that it was a different series with a different angle (homes).
But now that original show is gone and viewers know that this show is about home makeovers so they can get rid of the second half of the title.
4. 'Hawthorne' ('HawthoRNe'). I think I speak for all people who write about television when I say that I wasn't happy that TNT wanted me to capitalize the RN in the title of this show whenever I wrote about it. So why not just rename the show 'Hawthorne,' without all the quirky, silly capitalization? We're adults, we can do without the reminder that it's a medical drama.
I think people should starting spelling it hAWThornE.
5. 'Balloon Linoleum Dog Crayons at Night!' ('Last Call with Carson Daly'). Honestly, does it really matter what this show is called?

You do need to take care of yourself or you will be of no help to anyone, plus a big drain on your husband. He has stood by you against his family. That says a lot for him, don't you think? You should celebrate his devotion to you rather than "not being the same since". Your husband has no control over what his mother says, but he took control by choosing you. You don't say what health problems you have, unless it is your depression. That means that you need to set boundaries on what you do.
Men typically don't express feelings very easily as women do. But he has certainly made his feelings known about his job. What more do you want from him? His feelings are very painful and he has told you about them. Why do you say that him talking about quitting his job means financial trouble rubs off on you? Is that because you want to quit your job? Then you can tell him that, since he has said pretty much the same thing to you. Now are you sharing your feelings with him?
It sounds like you got burned out helping your brother way too much. But that is now done with and you feel good about doing it. You don't say why your brother can't work or drive or help his parents who he is living with. That would help things.
I think that you need to set boundaries on your obligations to your parents and brother. Perhaps you could go visit them just one day a week. Did you say it was an hour drive? Then take 4 to 5 hours out of your day to visit them 2 or 3 hours. Or make it once every 2 weeks or whatever you are comfortable with. Unless you have no feeling for your parents, they aren't going to live forever and you will probably feel terrible if you don't go to visit them at all. But that should still give you time for yourself.
Let me know where I am wrong on your situation, because I may be way off. Really let me know. I do feel for you and you do have options to help yourself. You take care. SaraView Thread
BUT, the bigger question, is why are you thinking of suicide? Is your life so bad or is it because of pain? What is your pain from? Let me know. I have thoughts on it having been very suicidal in my life.View Thread
View Thread
But what strikes me the most is your desire to die. You sound clinically depressed and I wonder if you are taking any anti-depressants. If you really feel like ending it all, please promise me that you will go to the Emergency Room. A chemical imbalance can skew your perceptions and judgments. Your child greatly needs you. Please get help so that your little one will have a full mother who can care for them. You take care.View Thread
