Mike English: JCS player named All-American
Jupiter Christian School junior Steele Stockstill, a midfielder on the boys lacrosse team, has been named a 2011 High School Underclassmen All-American.
That means Stockstill is eligible to play in the National Lacrosse Classic on July 5-8 in Germantown, Md., on the Southeast Florida Region team.
The Classic features 500 of the top prep underclassmen from around the country. The tournament pits 20 regional teams (boys and girls). The winning squads will go up against a Canadian team later this summer.
Stockstill is the son of Traci DeGeorge and Jeff Stockstill.
The Eagles finished the lacrosse season at 12-6 and were ranked sixth in the club rankings for the 2011 season and lost 16-10 to No. 1-ranked Benjamin School in the state lacrosse club semifinals.
The Bucs (19-0) went on to win their second-straight state championship, beating Tampa Jesuit 15-7 in the state finals on April 16.
Two Benjamin players also were selected to the Southeast Florida team — sophomore attacker Robert Jacobs from Palm Beach Gardens and sophomore middie Colby Kempe from Tequesta.
Jupiter Jam boyschampions varied
The recent Jupiter Courier Jupiter Jam boys basketball tournament saw a variety of teams claiming division titles.
The host JTAA Jaguars program won one title, in the eighth-grade draw, but five other Jaguars teams reached the semifinals in their respective divisions — great considering there were nine age groups.

Third-grade: Future Stars 33, Riviera Beach 23.
Fourth-grade: South Florida Blazers 47, Lake Worth Pride 25.
Fifth-grade: Treasure Coast Elite 48, Wellington Wolves 36.
Sixth-grade: Lake Worth Pride 72, Vero Beach Hurricanes 62.

Seventh-grade Div. 2: South Florida Elite 46, CS Explosion 31.
Eighth-grade: JTAA Jaguars 75, College Bound Ballers 69.
Ninth-grade: Fort Lauderdale Chiefs 59, Treasure Coast Thunder 34.
10th -grade: South Florida Force 66, Naples Magic 64.
11th grade: College Bound Ballers 75, Wellington Wolves 66.
Besides the team trophies and medals passed out at the championship games on Sunday, each division has additional awards for Tournament MVP, All-Tournament and Mr. Hustle for each division.
Those winners were:
Third grade: Future Stars – Keleb Evans, MVP; Dallas Turner, Kenny Enderson and Dudley Blackwell, All-Tournament; Riviera Beach Rockets – Chase Springs, Mr. Hustle, and Samuel Rollse and Jalen Jones, All-Tournament.
Fourth grade: South Florida Blazers – Cameron Miller, MVP and Brayden Applegate, Evan Levine and Ryan Rubin, All-Tournament; Lake Worth Pride – Jeremiah Scroggins, Mr. Hustle, and Ishmael Goulbourne and Cameron Berezuk, All-Tournament.

In Part 3 we took 24 explanations of human error and asked, "Do you think this can be resolved through training alone?" Now we'll give a little thought to the matter of memory.
Trainers love to quote the Ebbinghaus curve and the limitations of memory. Lapses of memory go unnoticed, when the consequences are slight. Even so trainers often use mnemonics and other types of memory aid. They can be fun and easy to devise. They are a classic example of a performance aid – a strategy to support and sustain required levels of human performance. Much use is made of video combined with music, rhythm and rhyme. A very good contrast can be seen between two approaches to raising awareness of how to deal with stroke victims using the acronym FAST. The UK Department of Health spent £12m on advertising and publicity designed to raise awareness of stroke among healthcare professionals and the general public. A video forms part of the materials and can be seen at Recognise Stroke F.A.S.T.
In the British video there is very high fidelity – a woman is shown having a stroke. A fire is burning in her brain. The images are very disturbing and, in my experience, take away attention from the core objective which is to embed the acronym FAST in my memory. Instead I remember the horror of the images and resolve to look away the next time I see it. In the USA, different approaches are used. In the Massachusetts Department of Health multi-lingual video Stroke Heroes Act Fast, much use is made of music, rhythm, rhyme and repetition – in the mode of one of history's most successful intervention programmes, Sesame Street. After two viewings I found myself humming the catchy tune with the words of the rhyme firmly fixed in my mind:
Does her face seem a little bit uneven?
Does one arm drift down?
Is her speech coming out kind of strangely?
It's time, time to call nine-one-one.
Most important – I found I had internalised the acronym F=Face, A=Arms, S=Speech and T=Time (to call for an ambulance). The National Stroke Association of America takes a similar approach, which is less appealing to me personally, but may well work best for the younger audience at whom it is aimed. It features a rap by Hip Hop star Doug E Fresh and a dance called "doin' the stroke" under the title Stroke ain't no Joke!
That is the end of Part 4. In Part 5 we'll ask why health professionals in hospitals still fail to observe simple rules of hygiene to avoid infection and cross-contamination. We'll look at performance in hospitals in Britain and the USA and we'll profile three behaviour patterns: skill-based behaviour, knowledge-based behaviour and rule-based behaviour.

AOL News has a new home! The Huffington Post.Click here to visit the new home of Politics Daily!
A former Massa staffer was served with a Justice Department request to preserve all his phone records, e-mail accounts and other documents relating to Massa's campaign and congressional office, according to records obtained by the newspaper.
Massa, 50, stepped down March 3, as reports surfaced about the alleged harassment. The next day, Massa's campaign paid $40,000 to his chief of staff, Joe Racalto, a critical witness in the ethics inquiry, the Post reported last week. The campaign also paid $39,000 to renew a car lease.
The House investigation could involve the office of Speaker Nancy Pelosi, The Associated Press reported. Massa's chief of staff met with an aide in Pelosi's office in October, months before Massa resigned, to discuss the congressman's problems with employees. It's unclear whether those discussions involved charges of groping.
The ethics panel will look into whether congressional members or staffers had personal knowledge of Massa's behavior and failed to report any allegations of misconduct. The committee will also investigate the alleged payments to Racalto.

Is anyone promoting the proposed Trinity Site development willing to mention the two-ton elephant in the room? This elephant represents the situation at LANL, brought on by privatization incurring tens of millions in new gross receipts tax (GRT) obligations to New Mexico and unprecedented management fees being paid out of the LANL budget. Currently no one understands what the effects of the FY2008 federal budget will be on LANL. However, it is obvious that privatization, management fees, GRTs and other associated costs will not be absorbed by a downward spiraling budget without grave impact to LANL's mission and employment situation. Job losses caused by FY2008 budget shortfalls are projected to continue for several more years as the DOE downsizes the national laboratories.Instead of addressing the elephant in the room, the county and the school district continue down the path of developing a 1980s shopping center, apparently hoping that cheap Chinese products, typically offered by "national retailers," will keep Los Alamos afloat, will support funding the county's $100-million construction program, and will add to the school district's operating budget. Compounding this is the proposed construction of approximately 300 more homes when the housing market is soft.There may be good reasons to move school and county functions off Trinity Site.

Letter: A sharper aim
Gary Brown, Fort Myers
A sharper aim
In response to Berkley Bedel's letter about ducks and gun control, and to clear up a little of the mud, fog and smoke the media has injected, the reason many shooters enjoy owning and shooting so-called "assault rifles" is that they were exposed to them in the military.
This happened after World War II when many veterans took up competitive target shooting with Colt semiauto 45s and the 30-06 Garands, as well as others.
Let's not forget that thousands upon thousands of hunters and shooters use their firearms safely every day.
Further, as far as the Second Amendment goes, in the 18th century, a militia was made up of everyday, ordinary citizens who owned or could borrow a firearm, just like you and me. It was not a "standing" military force as we have today.
As for Bedel, I suggest if you don't already belong to the National Rifle Association, you join now. As soon as some disturbed person shoots up a movie theater with a duck gun, plug or no, the politicians will be after yours!

Flooding/Damage in DetroitAugust 26th, 2014 at 9:22 pm by Bill Steffen under Bill's Blog, News, Weather
The same storms that went thru West Michigan have left flooded roads and 150,000 DTE customers without power. I-94 was closed due to flooding. Here's damage reports and rainfall totals from SE Michigan. The Lansing Airport added 0.56″ of rain thru 4:50 pm – that brings the total for LAN since June 1 to 15.75″ (average for the period is 8.99″).

As part of the ICC's mixed record, Mr. Newton and Ms. Wald said, the court's current system for allowing victims to participate in trial proceedings should be clarified and improved.
Some of the questions that have yet to be answered have to do with allowing hundreds of victims seeking access to trials to file motions and question witnesses, Ms. Wald said.
ICC members are required to cooperate with the court, but the court has not been cooperative enough with state parties, Mr. Newton said.
"There are no assurances the court will give them anything - it parachutes in and demands things, but if it has things that can help a country in another case, it's not required to help," he said.
Based at The Hague, the ICC has 18 judges and more than 800 staff members, according to its public information office. Last year, its budget was about $135 million, with Japan the largest contributor, followed by Germany, Britain and France.
President Clinton signed the ICC treaty in 2000 but made clear he had no intention of submitting it to Congress for ratification because of concerns that U.S. officials and troops could be prosecuted for political reasons.
President George W. Bush "withdrew" the U.S. signature in 2002, but became more supportive of the court in his second term and helped in its prosecution of Lt. Gen. Bashir.
The court's highest-profile official has been its chief prosecutor, Luis Moreno-Ocampo, a former federal prosecutor in Argentina who first came to public attention in 1985, when he helped convict five former senior military commanders of mass killings. Later in private practice, he defended victims of human rights violations and controversial figures, such as a priest accused of sexually abusing minors.
William H. Taft, the State Department's legal adviser during Mr. Bush's first term, who described himself as an "agnostic" when it comes to the ICC, said Mr. Moreno-Ocampo "has not politicized the court."
"There have been thousands of complaints filed, including some related to the Iraq war, but he has wisely decided to focus on serious infractions and not get distracted," Mr. Taft said.
However, Mr. Newton said there has been at least one case with an "appearance of politicization."
Gen. Bashir's indictment angered many Africa leaders, and in an apparent effort to calm them down, Mr. Moreno-Ocampo "went out and found a Darfur rebel to charge," Mr. Newton said.
"The pretrial chamber refused to confirm the warrant of arrest and the charges, the appeals chamber supported that, and the case was dismissed for insufficient evidence," he added.
Ms. Wald, Mr. Newton and Mr. Taft are members of the American Society of International Law's task force on U.S. policy toward the ICC.
Questioning whether the court should exist is a "moot point" because it's an "inescapable reality," Mr. Newton said.

Breaking news: Daily Beast is Tabloid-y re Yoga Scandal!
Breaking news: John Friend has holy foursome, manages to keep his underwear on.
Thanks, Daily Beast! Breaking news! John Friend has great sex.
Breaking News via Lizzie Crocker of Daily Beast!
Can media report controversies in yoga and other mindful communities with both let's-all-learn-from-our-mistakes-here honesty and integrity, both? Not just one or the other: snarkiness and gossip vs. suppression and sycophantic ass-kissing? That's my question. ~ ed.
Daily Beast/Newsweek, it seems, has paid (why else?) an (anonymous) ex-Anusaraian High Priestness real money (maybe?) for the tabloid-y/unsurprising revelation that John Friend had an erotic foursome, while apparently keeping his underwear on.
We all have sex (hopefully), good sex (with our underwear off), and if candles and spiritual intent and random "Friends" are involved, congrats to us.
Who's up for their sex life being jfexposed next? Anyone? No one?
How long does this go on? What's next?
The only real news I saw in the Daily Beast article?
The below statement goes against other public assurances we've received:
…"his publicist wrote in an email to The Daily Beast that "John has not cancelled events in June, but of course unknowns remain."
Incorrect source, offensive, or found a typo? Email us (please put title in subject bar of email so we'll be able to fix). Or do you want to write for Elephant?

Thanks, The Daily Beast! Next up: John Friend likes to shop for groceries, sometimes!
David Paul Hluchy This is a serious improper behavior. JF misused religion to indulge in reckless, unethical sex.
Maya Seeingthrough Sounds like "EJ" is kinda envious of what it thinks of as JF's access to a whole lotta free yogini tail. You people have the moral/spiritual depth of a teaspoon.
elephantjournal.com Sounds like you didn't read it, Maya. I don't think anyone could be envious of JF…personally, I appreciate my simple, hard-working, wholesome life of fun service along with many other inspired community members. How are you? ~ Waylon
As opposed to this piece of integrity and community-killing crap via The Daily Beast, http://www.elephantjournal.com/2012/04/breaking-n… , a new feature via New York Magazine does Journalism ethics proud: http://www.elephantjournal.com/2012/04/truly-brea…
Remember "Father Guido Sarducci" on Saturday Night Live with his hilarious "Find the Pope in the Pizza" contest? He dressed as a priest and waved that huge pizza photo around.
I want to start my own "Find the Guru in the Yoni" contest — and take it on the road, wearing faux-Hindu robes and intoning sacred Sanskrit greetings?
But DAMMIT, I need that photo from the jfexposed website with the woman's vagina in extreme closeup. You know the one with the labia splayed open by a man's — presumably JF's — fingers? I suspect that yoni belongs to High Priestess Melissa, and was like the group's Sacred Mandala and Oracle?
Is it trademarked already, or is it part of what's known in the trade as the "creative commons." Of course, I mean the photo of her yoni – not her actual yoni.
Does anyone know? I see a burgeoning career at Comedy Central ahead.
Om Namah Shivaye — Hubba Hubba!
The reason why I (and I assume others) find the behaviour of John Friend so objectionable is that it smacks of hypocrisy. The notion of 'transparency' is a very central axiom to the philosophy that is presented by Ansura, and the facts here have been very cloudy and opaque. People are left wondering what really happened. In my case, I know Ansura teachers, and their credentials and careers have _definitely_ been negatively impacted by what's happened here. That makes me angry, because it's unjust that they should be hurt by the behaviour of another person for the crime of accepting John Friend's word at face value.
My opinion of human culture is that we evolved to be very altruistic and social animals. Our society is our critical competitive advantage over other animals, in that we can cooperate to not only survive but to prosper. However, altruism is vulnerable to abuse. If you look at the extrovert-introvert axis of human personalities, at the extreme end of the introvert you have the selfish autistic. Similarly, at the extreme end of the extrovert you have a narcissistic or sociopath personality which is the extreme we're observing here. We, as a cooperative society, benefit from the diversity of having both tool-builders (introverts) and tribe-builders (extroverts) but both extremes are undesirable and damaging.
What you are seeing now is a public shaming of John Friend for behaviour that is both unethical and immoral. The purpose of such shaming is not only to discredit Friend, but also to warn other would-be predators that such behaviour will be punished in the forum of public opinion. It's how we make altruistic behaviour beneficial to the tribe as a whole, because without reciprocation altruism is _harmful_ to the person who's being kind and compassionate towards others.
Incidentally, it is a violation of netiquette to comment on an article and not link to it. It smacks of censorship and I think that behaviour is beneath Elephant Journal. I expect better of the people on the internet whose opinions I read and think about.
Censorship? Do you know how to Google "Daily Beast John Friend"? You do a disservice to the severity of that charge by "btw"ing that word. Check out China, Iran, Saudi Arabia for censorship. http://www.elephantjournal.com/2012/04/facebook-a… Here in the US, you're just too lazy to google, apparently.
My colleague, Kasey, and I put this together…she felt that linking to the trashy coverage (we're fine with criticism, most of the coverage on elephant has been fair and crticial) was helping it along. Commenting on how to offer criticism in an uplifted manner, however, did seem to be important.
Hey Waylon, on a more serious note, aren't there real issues involved here, even if Daily Beast just focused on the salacious – actually not so salacious – details?
For example, these folks worked for John and were paid by him? Is that a serious issue? Or not? Modern sexual harassment standards apply to behavior in a work setting that can be perceived as overtly sexual, even if it is consenting.
If a boss creates an environment of overt sexualization, and worse, creates a hierarchy of work achievement and advancement based on this, a boundary has been crossed.
Let's say you were Magus Maximus or whatever at EJ and you and Kate and Val were all involved in such a lovely Wicca coven? If you were all consenting, it wouldn't be an issue? If other EJ folks who weren't involved knew about it, that wouldn't be an issue? If any of the folks involved were married, that wouldn't be an issue?
I'm not actually answering those questions, but between simply exposing details as the Beast piece does, on the one hand, or simply saying, hey, no one's business, on the other, as you seem to be saying — aren't there at least real questions to be asked?
I have to say – and I have a review of William Broad's book coming out that reinforces this point — that there is just a disturbing lack of willingness in the yoga world to subscribe to ANY standards of public accountability to say nothing, at times, of simple common decency. And it's going to KILL this world.
This idea that yoga exists in its own self-justifying mystical bubble – that's fine for the couple of hundred thousand rabid enthusiasts at the top of the yoga pyramid — but it's already killing yoga's vast, untapped potential for reaching million of real people in the mainstream leading real lives with real wellness needs – which doesn't include shooting soft-core yoga pornos or engaging in group sex with their boss. There's a reason the yoga market hasn't actually grown that much since 2004 — and it's not just the recession. There's genuine – and justified – contempt and disgust out there.
Physician – heal thyself. Certainly before you go off in search of healing others, because otherwise, you'll only "do more harm."
Of course serious issues! And that, as you know better than most, deserves real coverage. See the other article, in New York, for a professional and critical piece.
I'm not sure it was such a great piece. I think the reporter did an effective job of letting John Friend hang himself in the guise of letting him tell his side of the story — and that's fine. He looks pretty ridiculous perhaps, from the photo to what he says. However, there are quite a few things in the article that I found inaccurate and objectionable, and in general, the idea that this comes down to John Friend and Friend alone is a myth. It's setting the stage for his rehabilitation by the yoga cult that seems lost without him – most cults are – and some of whose members not so secretly and rather desperately still long for "Daddy's" return.
This is Cult Dynamics 101, basically, and I would have loved – and would still love – to see people ask what is it about the pathology of our times – and about the pathology of being young, white, urban, and female in America perhaps — that creates such fertile ground for the creation of such organizations, and the persistent forms of willful psychological and sexual domination- and faux-celebrity "acting out' – they seem to engender?
We're well beyond the need for good journalism — we need in-depth sociology and social psychology now.

Just days from leaving for Miami for the six-month task of opening his new South Beach location, Elgin still doesn't know who should run Elgin Charles of Beverly Hills while he's gone.... Read Full Summary »
In the midst of making plans for his new salon location in Miami, Elgin gets frustrated when Sean goes AWOL from the salon to pursue his dream of being a singer. Meanwhile Lolita goes on a blind date with a doctor who makes a shocking suggestion about he... Read Full Summary »
Lolita tries to convince everyone that the used weave her friend sent her belongs to a world famous celebrity. But when a troublesome client gets into it with the stylists, Lolita gets distracted and her "collectible" weave goes missing. And when Elgin fi... Read Full Summary »
Welcome to the outrageous world of the Elgin Charles Salon, where the raucous gossip of the black beauty shop meets the glitz of Beverly Hills. Located just off of Rodeo Dr., Elgin's salon has been a magnet for a who's who of celeb clientele. And now our skilled stylist is taking his brand to the next level and won't stop until "Elgin Charles" is a household name!
Here's the problem: when you're Elgin,finding time to get anything done is next to impossible. Between keeping his clients happy, meeting with distributors for his product line, and raising his teenage son, Frank, Elgin barely has time to breathe. So if the self-proclaimed, "Emperor of Hair," is going to realize his dreams, he'll have to rely on the three talented but high-maintenance stylists who make up his staff.
There's Sean, the opinionated rising star who's determined to run his own shop someday; Lolita, the Compton native whose sense of humor is as twisted as her weaves; and Katrina, the new girl from Kansas, who's desperate to land a celebrity client.
When they venture out of the salon, Elgin and the crew will hit Beverly Hills boutiques and restaurants with abandon, living lives that are as glamorous as their clients'!
Over the last twenty years, Elgin Charles has done and seen it all in the hair business. His quest to create a hair empire will take him into uncharted waters, with surprises that are shocking, hilarious, and always -- Fabulous!

OURAY, Colo. The Colorado Division of Reclamation Mining and Safety (DRMS) issued a news release saying they would be cooperating with the federla Mine Safety and Health Administration in MSHA's investigation of the mine accident near Ouray. DRMS regulates environmental impacts at the mine. Mine safety and enforcement is under the jurisdiction of MSHA.
The release also provided this background information about the mine operation, " Star Mine Operations LLC obtained a permit for the Revenue Mine southwest of Ouray in February of 2013 to mine silver, gold and sulfide minerals from vein deposits on patented mining claims owned by the company. This followed prospecting at the site beginning in 2011. All mining at the site is conducted underground via drill and blast methods. Surface disturbances associated with the Revenue operation include water ponds, waste storage, mining support facilities and processing facilities."
The last inspection of the facility was in September of 2013 to review the construction and certification of the underground mill for processing ore and technical aspects related to surface facilities.
DRMS holds a $277,078 reclamation bond for the 34-acre site.

Nature study finds that bees prefer foods containing neonicotinoid pesticides
A study conducted by scientists at Newcastle University, Trinity College Dublin, and University of Oxford has found that bees are attracted to nectar containing common pesticides. The research, published in Nature, showed that buff-tailed bumblebees and honeybees did not avoid the three most commonly used neonicotinoid pesticides: imidacloprid, thiamethoxam, and clothianidin. The study found that the bees could not taste neonicotinoids, and in fact, showed a preference for food containing pesticides. The findings have implications for bee behavior and survival due to the bees� inability to control exposure to these pesticides, and suggest that treating crops with certain neonicotinoids presents a hazard to these pollinating insects.
Why restore disturbed or contaminated lands?
Habitat preservation is key to an ecosystem's health and well-being, and there is a growing awareness that restoration is essential to recover ecosystems that have been degraded or destroyed. Furthermore, contaminated or disturbed sites that have been restored are once again available for public use and enjoyment
The public's interest in the renewal of natural ecosystems has grown steadily during the past few decades. EPA's Superfund Redevelopment Program assists communities in returning some of the nation's worst hazardous waste sites to safe and productive uses. While the Agency works to protect human health and the environment, EPA also works with communities and other partners to consider future uses for restored Superfund sites. Many sites are now being used as parkland, agricultural land, residences and commercial space.
Ecological reuse can be incorporated into site remediation plans for Superfund sites because it provides habitat for wildlife and is not considered beautification or enhancement. Returning contaminated sites to beneficial use not only allows local communities to reclaim lost land – it can also lead to increased property values, a higher tax base, and protected open space. In addition, when local interests have a stake in the revitalized property, the chances are greater for continued productive use.
Benefits of Ecological Land Reuse
- Provides wildlife habitat
- Sequesters carbon
- Remediates and beneficially reuses damaged lands
- Improves property values
- Improves image
- Reduces wind and water erosion of contaminants
- Protects water resources
- Creates green spaces and corridors
- Improves the community by removing stigma associated with prior waste sites
Why are ecosystems important to ecological land reuse?
Project managers seeking to return a contaminated site to a safe and productive use should look not only to the future of the site; but also consider its past structure and function by looking at the site as an ecosystem – a dynamic environment of living organisms and non-living matter intricately connected by energy and nutrient flows.
Many reuse projects focus solely on manipulating certain elements, such as soil, vegetation, and hydrology, with little attention paid to the links between these and the broader landscape and biosphere. Such actions may not necessarily address all of the ecosystem's needs. Other living organisms, such as insects, wildlife, and microorganisms also form an integral part of the system and must be accounted for, if possible, for the system to flourish. For example: many of the native flowering plant species in the United States rely on bees, hummingbirds or other pollinators to help them reproduce and disperse across the landscape. The flowers and the hummingbird have a symbiotic relationship that benefits them both – the flower produces nectar that the hummingbird feeds on, and the hummingbird carries pollen from one flower to the next, allowing it to reproduce. If a degraded site is repopulated with native wildflowers, but no pollinators are introduced into the site, the native plants may die out and be replaced by invasive species. In order to maintain desired levels of native plant diversity, the restoration and reuse process therefore must ensure that an adequate level of pollinator species is present.
Ecosystem-based reuse can be an important aspect of many remediation projects. If the goal is to return a site to a close approximation of its natural, pre-disturbance state, then an ecosystem-based approach is essential. This approach will ensure that the newly restored site once again becomes an integral part of its environment. More information can be found here: Climate Change and Ecosystems.

Why should Led Zeppelin hog up all the movie-theater-bound concert-film glory?
Guns N' Roses have posted a new preview video — in the form of a live rendition of "Paradise City" — for their upcoming 3D concert film based on their Las Vegas residency last fall.
The film, Appetite For Democracy, will document their stint at Las Vegas' Hard Rock Hotel, and it's set to hit movie theaters sometime this year.

Tribunals have give some directions to employers who wish to avoid liability
In Budge v Thorvaldson Care Homes Ltd. (Manitoba Human Rights Tribunal) 2002, a health care worker, after experiencing sexual harassment from another employee, reported the problem to her supervisor. Nothing changed. The complainant then discussed the issue with the president of the company and, to her astonishment, received a Record of Employment indicating that she had quit (she had not). An investigator found that the president had prior notice of the employee's harassing behavior through a letter written by the company's cook. In that letter, the cook had outlined the issue, identifying the alleged harasser.
The owner responded to the cook's letter by being dismissive of the allegations of harassment and by intimidating her.
The Human Rights Tribunal made an award requiring the employer to adopt and implement a harassment policy, to monitor the harasser, to report to the Commission on steps taken, to compensate the complainant for lost wages and to pay her $4000 for injury to dignity. The Tribunal found that where an employer is aware of allegations of sexual harassment, whether or not the victim comes forward with allegations, the employer had a duty to investigate the complaint, educate its workforce and make it clear that harassment is unacceptable.

For the first time ever, he recently completed an advanced pickle ball class.
A group of eight women completed the class, which went above and beyond the basics of the sport.
"About 3 years ago, I decided at some point I wanted to teach an advanced class, and I had several people ask me about it," he said. "I teach various things from fast twitch muscle fiber to core presence to how to hit the ball with top spin, side spin and back spin. They really progressed.
Jimmy O, a decorated senior Olympian, has played tennis and racquetball for years. He said he's now ditched those sports in favor of pickelball, which is similar to tennis except the court is much smaller, as are the paddles used instead of racquets. The ball is a small whiffle ball, which takes a tremendous amount of spin and can be greatly affected by the wind.
"I was introduced to the sport about 5 years ago when I watched some men playing pickleball in Muskegon," Jimmy O said. "My first thought was, this is kind of a soft game. It makes a funny sound when they hit the ball. Some are using wood paddles, some are using graphite. I wasn't really turned on by it.
"Then I was invited to play by some people who knew I was involved in sports. When I started playing, I played tennis 3-4 times a week, racquetball three times a week. Now I only play pickleball."
Most of the classes He's taught are in the Tri-Cities area, although Jimmy O has traveled as far as White Lake, Coopersville and Grand Rapids to host classes.
The sport is especially popular with seniors, but there are also pickeball teams at area high schools.
"Seniors, your knees start going, your hips start going, your reaction time starts going, so they migrate from tennis or racquetball to pickleball because you don't have the lateral movement that you have in tennis or racquetball," he said. "Our No. 1 concern in the sport is now do we attract younger people into the sport, and one way is through the Meijer State Games.
"That's our No. 1 concern is how do we make it attractive to young people."
One way is through older generations introducing the sport to youngsters.
"Grandparents for years have been coming up to me and saying, 'This is the first sport I've been able to play with my grandkids,'" Jimmy O said.

Gary Bomar: Producers should practice caution when using seed wheat varieties
Looking to this fall with what could be a short wheat crop, the availability of seed wheat might be limited.
As producers purchase wheat seed, it is important that they know the legal aspects and the origin of the seed wheat.
With the development of many new varieties, developers have patentlike rights on their new seed varieties. That protects the reproduction and the distribution of their varieties. This protection is known as the "Plant Variety Protection Act," which was signed into law in 1970 and amended in 1994. This act is a voluntary program that provides plantlike rights to breeders, developers and owners of plant varieties.
The primary purpose of the plant protection act is to ensure that developers would benefit and be able to recover research cost. Without this act, the only protection available to breeders was the biological protection of inbreeds used for hybrid seed production, such as grain and forage-type sorghums.
Varieties that are protected under the act can be sold or advertised for seeding purposes only by the owners of the protection certificate or with owner's permission. The owners of the certificate may bring civil action against people infringing on their rights, and may ask a court to issue an injunction to prevent others from violating proprietary rights.
The damages awarded by a court must at least compensate the certificate owners for the infringement.
Awards could also include attorney fees and up to triple damages where willful infringement is found.
The term of the variety protection expires 18 years after the certificate is issued for varieties filed under the original act, and 20 years for most varieties covered under the amended act.
Plant breeders and seed companies are taking this act very seriously due to the cost of research and development. There are several cases in the courts where protected seed was sold in violation of the act.
A similar case this year, not on seed variety, but as a genetic herbicide resistant soybean variety made it to the U.S. Supreme Court.
The high court sided with the owners of the patent. In closing, it was noted that Chief Justice John Roberts wondered "why anyone in the world" would invest time and money on seeds if it was so easy to evade patent protection.
The most common violation of the act is when a producer buys certified seed, plants a crop, harvests the seed, retains some to replant next season, but sells some to a neighbor as seed wheat. Many times, the producer is unaware of the legality of this transaction.
As producers begin the search for seed wheat to plant the 2013-14 crop, it is suggested that they visit with the seed company representatives, do some research on the variety as to its role in the Plant Variety Protection Act.

Financial analysts expect Utah's current economic slowdown to recover and experience modest growth next year.
Although the state's unemployment continues to hover near the 5 percent mark, the real savings rate registers at a higher level than at many times in last 30 years, indicates the fall edition of Insight - Economic News of Utah.
The quarterly publication features updates on current as well as projected economic and financial developments for Utah, the Intermountain region and the United States.
"Like its neighbors, Utah has experienced a painful recession over the past year," noted Jeff Thredgold, economic consultant to Zions Bank and author of Insight.
"However, we do expect the state's economy to return to slightly positive job growth next year as the U.S. and global economies strengthen. The state's longer term economic potential remains high," explained Thredgold.
Utah's statewide economic and interest rate highlights include:
After climbing quickly from a 3.5 percent average between 1995 and 2000, the state's unemployment rate averaged 4.4 percent last year.
The jobless rate climbed to 5.9 percent in March before declining to the 4.9 percent average of the last three months.
Statewide employment has decreased 1.9 percent for roughly 20,000 jobs during the last 12 months.
Utah's construction, manufacturing and trade sectors account for the majority of the decreasing employment opportunities.
In contrast, the state's economy added an average of 36,000 jobs annually between 1995 and 2000, posting a 7,000 increase in employment opportunities last year.
During the last 12 months, Utah's real estate resale sector has struggled due to a combination of U.S. and state recessions, the current period of net out-migration and the doubling of home prices during the 1990s, according to the consultant.
Dropping mortgage rates in Utah and across the nation represent one offsetting factor.
The mortgage rates currently register at the lowest level experienced by American consumers in 40 years.
The business climate in Utah has managed to remain competitive statewide, according to data compiled by state economic development officials and budget analysts.
In fact, Utah's "cost of doing business" is presently estimated at 97 percent of the United States average, continued the bank's economic consultant.
In addition, the estimated cost of living for consumers residing at locations throughout Utah continues to register below the national average.
In fact, the ACCRA cost of living index recently listed Cedar City at 90.6 percent of the national average, pointed out the financial consultant.
The ACCRA index ranked Logan and St. George at 93.7 percent of the national average, while economic analysts estimated the cost of living in Salt Lake City at 96 percent.
During the periods of extremely low interest rates, Carbon County residents, consumers and investors should focus on what counts, including the level of returns after inflation, recommended the financial consultant.
For example, Thredgold pointed out that an account or cash deposit paying 2 percent in 2002, versus roughly 1.5 percent inflation, is a positive real return of 0.5 percent, according to the bank's financial consultant.
The present real return is better than Utahns experienced in the past when savings accounts paid 5 percent interest, but inflation reaching a 6 percent, 7 percent, 8 percent or higher mark led to an actual decline in purchasing power of consumers.
Wage and salary increases during the last four years have averaged approximately 3.8 percent annually across the broad U.S. economy, including for employees in Utah.
The annual increases in income tend to pale versus typically larger raises witnessed nationwide in the past.
However, when compared to the average 2.2 percent rise in the consumer price index, the real wage increases represent the largest posted throughout the nation since the early 1970s, concluded the financial consultant.

50 Diamond Jim Fish Tagged
Type: Chesapeake
Location: Chesapeake Bay
Ryley had the privilege of participating in the DNR Diamond Jim tagging program with other Maryland Youth Fishing Club members. They fished the Chesapeake Bay aboard the Never Enuff Charter Boat. Today they tagged their quota of 50 Striped Bass! They also caught many undersized fish amd even got to keep a few for home! It was a tough day as Bluefish continually stole bait but the kids managed to even the score by putting over 40 Bluefish in the boat. Ryley didn't catch the biggest today but he managed to catch the most unique, a "humpback" striped bass was successfully caught, tagged and released. They caught all those fish and were back to the dock by 1:00 pm! Thanks Department of Natural Resources!

Dear Parents,
Welcome to Rogers! We are so excited to be celebrating our 12th year, and you are a part of it!
I will once again be teaching an enrichment class called True Grit. Grit is the ability to passionately pursue a goal for an extended period of time despite adversity, failure, or a loss of interest. It is resiliency, and research shows over and over that it is a necessary part of becoming successful.
The last two years have been extremely successful, and I am very excited to see what this year brings!
On a personal note, I have been married for 9 years and I have an 8 year old son, Brady, who will be in third grade at Silverlake Elementary. I graduated from Texas A&M and this will be my 15th year to teach. It is my passion. It is my calling. And I do not take it lightly. Your kids become part of my life and I look forward to partnering with you to make this a year to remember!

Integrated Permitting: An International Collaboration Effort
Note: EPA no longer updates this information, but it may be useful as a reference or resource.
You will need Adobe Reader to view some of the files on this page. See EPA's PDF page to learn more.
What is Integrated Permitting?
Distinct from the United States (US) media-specific permitting system, a growing number of countries are using integrated permitting approaches. Integrated permits control all elements of a facility's environmental footprint. Emissions to air, water, and land are comprehensively managed, along with a host of other factors (such as waste generation, raw materials use, energy efficiency, noise, accident prevention, other pollution prevention factors). Accounting for an entire facility's environmental impacts, an integrated permit goes beyond simply consolidating applicable media permits – it is intended to promote continually improving performance while ultimately driving the facility to more sustainable outcomes.
UK and EU Experience
The United Kingdom (UK) began using an integrated permitting system in the 1990's. In 1996 the European Union (EU) adopted the Integrated Pollution Prevention and Control (IPPC) directive. The IPPC calls for facilities to comprehensively account for all environmental impacts and covers 32 specific business sectors, including energy, metals, chemicals, waste management, pulp and paper, food and drink, and intensive agriculture. The UK began its phase-in of IPPC in 2000 with the implementation of national law, the Pollution Prevention and Control Act, and estimates it had issued upwards of 3500 permits by the October 2007 implementation deadline (for all EU member states).
The Integrated Permitting International Collaboration Effort
For several years the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) partnered with the UK Environment Agency to research the processes, policies, and tools used to implement the IPPC system in the UK. During this time, the EPA organized and/or participated in numerous outreach activities sharing information on the UK system with interested parties and discussing possible uses of the IPPC permitting model in the US. The EPA recently published a comprehensive report as the product of this collaborative effort. EPA is now inviting interested stakeholders, including state and federal permit writers, policy experts, and representatives from academia, non-governmental organizations, and industry to explore how an integrated permitting approach could potentially improve or facilitate better environmental results in the US – and what potential opportunities exist for testing such ideas.
Integrated Permitting Report
The EPA National Center for Environmental Innovation's report, An In-Depth Look at the United Kingdom Integrated Permitting System: Exploring Global Environmental Protection Perspectives (PDF) (191 pp, 1.01MB), describes the historical and cultural setting for the UK IPPC system and provides information regarding the legal and organizational permitting structure, the permitting process, and permit requirements. In addition, a comparative analysis offers anecdotal assessments of individual US and UK permits in two industrial sectors. Finally, the report delivers a series of findings regarding features of the UK system that may be of particular note to US observers.
The accompanying set of Appendices (PDF) (70 pp, 4.73MB) offers useful and informational source material supporting the report.
The executive summary (PDF) (11 pp, 115K) very briefly covers the introductory and analytical elements detailed in the full report and focuses on the report findings (in an abridged format).
Referenced in the report, the permit matrix for the pulp and paper sector (PDF) (75 pp, 223K) is an analytical tool used by EPA to record and assess the elements of an IPPC integrated permit for a specific pulp and paper facility in the UK and corresponding terms in US Title V (air), NPDES (water), and waste permits. The permit matrix is simply a working document used by the EPA team and should not be viewed or quoted as a final official interpretation of the UK IPPC or US permits reviewed as part of the analysis for the report.

North Devon teacher workload has shown an 'astonishing increase' says National Union of Teachers
Posted: March 01, 2014|
THE workload of teachers in North Devon has shown an "astonishing increase" according to the National Union of Teachers local secretary.
Tim Hodge, joint divisional secretary for North Devon, has commented on the teacher workload diary survey which shows teachers are working on average a 55 hour week.
The average primary teacher is now allegedly working nearly 60 hours per week while secondary heads work 63 hours and secondary teachers 56.
"No one enters the profession expecting a 9 -5 job, but working in excess of 55 hours a week and during holidays is entirely unacceptable," said Tim.
"Many teachers feel totally overwhelmed and it is hardly surprising that two-in-five leave the profession after their first five years in the job and morale is at an all-time low. Many thousands of good teachers are leaving the profession and education is being damaged as a result.
"This is an issue that should concern everyone. Our children deserve enthusiastic, energetic teachers not overworked and stressed ones."
The publication of the results come just before talks between the Government and teacher unions in which the NUT will be pressing for action over unsustainable workloads.
"The survey also showed teachers and heads reporting time spent on unnecessary and bureaucratic tasks," said Tim. "In December 2013, an NUT-commissioned survey of the teaching profession showed almost two-thirds of teachers (63%) said more than a fifth of their workload does not directly benefit children's learning.
"This cannot be a proper use of teacher time. Teachers need to be free to concentrate on their lessons, not spending excessive time compiling evidence that they are doing their job or planning or collecting data to a degree which does not support learning."
