My aunt keeps my secret - part 2
Dec 21, 2012, 1:38:26 AM
When I was 13, the school district that I lived in decided to advance a few special students forward one grade, in preparation for college. I was one of four students in the entire district that had been selected to skip ahead because of my great grades, and I entered high school just before my 14th birthday. My mother was working full time, because she had separated from my dad and filed for divorce. See, even though my parents had had frequent arguments, they had always reconciled. One day, though, came an incident that was the final straw for their marriage.
Mom had come home early from work one day, wearing a man's raincoat (odd dress for September, I remember thinking). Trying to surprise him, she instead found him naked in the pool, while my aunt (mom's older s****r), was dozing in the sun. I saw what had caught my dad's eye: the towel over her boobs had dropped off, and her nipples were sticking straight up. I had never really seen a grown woman's breasts before then. I remember the sight of him on the pool steps, looking right at her breasts from an angle just between her legs, and doing what I thought was scratching his leg. I could not see because I was behind him.
Anyway, I saw mom come around the garage through the gate and freeze in her tracks; she watched him there for at least a minute. She frowned and paced while she watched; the coat opened up and I saw she only had a bra and panties underneath. At last she screamed, "What are you doing, asshole?" which startled dad; and made my aunt sit straight up, not realizing she was topless. She stared right at my dad's naked crotch with her mouth open for a full five seconds; dad did not move until my aunt covered herself with the towel. She gasped and repeated, "Yes, what are you doing?" My mom stomped inside with my aunt right behind her. I heard mom lock the door, leaving dad naked and homeless. I snuck him some clothes, his car keys, and wallet soon afterward; I did not see him again for 3 years.
My aunt, Marie, explained to my mom that she had no idea what was going on; they hugged each other, and never discussed it again. Aunt Marie lived a few blocks from the local high school, so I was to go to my aunt's apartment after school until my mom got home from work, usually around 10 P.M. She was much older than my mother was, and large in a curvy, feminine way, but was funny and always treated me like an equal; I liked visiting her. She was also divorced, and often discussed the topic of men with me, the general hypothesis being that all males were swine.
The pool episode was not the first time I had seen my father unclothed. One evening, near midnight, after using the bathroom, I peeked through a crack in my parent's bedroom door. In the dim light, I saw him from behind, naked, leaning over the bed between mom's legs, and apparently kissing her belly button. She was holding his hair and moaning. Quickly I slinked back to my own bedroom, afraid, and confused. I asked Aunt Marie about it the next time I saw her. She quietly explained that when a couple is married, they do not need clothes in bed, nor keep secrets from each other. "Adults get married as a promise of love and trust. They enjoy kissing and dancing, and like to share special intimacies." She also scolded, " and you should always respect their privacy, especially in their bedroom. Do you understand what I am saying?" Aunt Marie and I had always shared a special bond, and I remember the secret promises we made as far back as I can remember. I trusted her, and she confided in me. I would never lie to her, or repeat what we said in private. In return, her special attention made me feel like an adult.
One time we had had an embarrassing moment. She surprised me; I was changing in the bathroom into my trunks, and they were around my ankles at the exact moment she opened the door. I started, and lost my balance. Because the trunks were around my ankles, I fell backwards, landing in the tub. More embarrassed than injured, I stuttered, "Oh God! I apologize, Aunt Marie."
She giggled at my horror. She bent down, wrapped her arms around my waist, and lifted me out. Aunt Marie always wore a silk robe, but as she lifted me, our hips pressed together. I felt her bare thigh pushing against my penis, and I distinctly felt her legs squeeze together over it, the soft forbidden pubic hair tickling my leg.
"Don't be silly, we're f****y. Actually, I'm the one who should apologize; a man deserves his privacy."
Flattered, blushing, and reaching down to pull my trunks up, I saw her eyes sparkle. "It won't be long before you mature. I can see already that you are growing into a real lady- killer, just like your father. In a few years, you will be fully-grown. As a matter of fact, if I wasn't your aunt, I'd go after you myself." I was unprepared for her disarming honesty, and the mature way she said it. I turned away as I felt myself blush and an involuntary twitch beneath my swimming trunks.
Small for my age in high school, obviously much younger than everyone else, I was most often in the company of seniors, who saw me as their mascot, and protected me, in a way. This enraged the students of my own grade. When I was alone with them, they called me names like 'sissy' and 'homo'. While humiliated, I really did not know what the words fully meant. They saw me as more even more vulnerable than they were, and used my naiveté for an ego boost.
The TV lit up, and the scene was of a fat woman kneeling in front of a naked man. I said, "What's she doing?", but the camera moved, and I saw the man rocking his penis in and out of the fat woman's mouth. She was not fighting it; it looked like she was enjoying it. I said so: "She wants to do that?", and looked at my neighbor. He nodded, and said, "People have been doing this since the beginning of time".
I had never seen a grown man's penis before. It was huge, stiff, and very hairy. The woman was naked, her boobs bouncing as she sucked, but I could not take my eyes off the penis. After a minute, the scene changed, and a teenaged boy walked in. The woman stood up and walked the teenager to the couch; the older man walked over and stood in front of the k**. The fat woman took his head in her hands and started to push his head up and down over the fat man's penis. I got a thrill seeing the woman making the youngster bob over a man's erection. Doing such a shocking act alone was one thing; having a woman watch you do it was something else entirely. There was something exciting about being exposed. I was too shocked to move; too fascinated to look away. Mr. Cooper pointed at the screen, saying, "That's what that guy outside wanted you to do on him, to suck his prick like that lady. Now do you understand?"
I turned to him and said casually, "Oh, I get it...", but I was lying. Looking at my blushing face, he said, "Your face is going to swell soon, it's all red. Here, try this..." reached into his robe pocket, and pulled out a small glass vial. He said to close one nostril, and take a big sniff, all the way in, then switch and do the other side. I took two large sniffs; it smelled like turpentine. I started to ask, "What's that supposed to do...?", but the room started to spin, I felt warm all over, and my face flushed. I looked over and saw Mr. Cooper's robe fully open. Below his huge hairy belly, he was stroking his enormous penis.
Next thing I knew, he was holding my head over his lap, and rocked his hips upward. I knew he wanted to push his erection into my mouth; I instinctively parted my lips, and felt the huge red head go in. I recall thinking how mature it all was. I was doing what adults did, and a grown man was treating me like an equal.
The surface of the penis was very soft, it had no taste or smell at all; I remember thinking how clean he was as he sat back down. I thought that was it the end of the lesson - but he suddenly bucked his hips up again, and pushed my head down, forcing his half-hard penis back in further. He stood, still holding my head, and started pumping the shaft back and forth, like a piston. I could feel he was totally stiff now; he was going all the way to the back of my throat, and then pulling it all the way out, so with every push there was a shameful moment that I was just sitting, open- mouthed, in front of him, waiting to receive his cock in the mouth like a slave.
He put the vial under my nose again after a minute; my mouth was full, so all I could breathe was the stuff inside of it. I felt the warm feeling over me again, and noticed that I did not want him to stop making me suck him. I was enjoying it; I was sitting on the neighbor's couch, mouth wide open, while he was ramming his hard shaft into my mouth.
He turned my head towards the TV and said, "Look at the screen - see how the boy is getting that fat dick in the mouth? It is very natural for a young k** to enjoy sucking an older man's cock. It does not hurt at all, and the older man loves it. That is what 'being a girlfriend' means - learning to enjoy giving pleasure to others, with no shame or fear. Do you like sucking my dick? Tell me; do not be ashamed. I won't tell anyone that you like blowing me...", and continued pumping his dick back and forth, holding my head, faster and faster.
Every few minutes, he would give me a sniff, saying, "There you go, - don't you love sucking cock while you rush on the poppers?", and then hold my head even tighter, always bobbing my head over his huge, rude prick. After about a half hour of making me 'be his girlfriend', he suddenly pulled out, and opened the coffee table drawer. He pulled out a clear glass tube, and put a small chunk of some white cube in the end. He guided my head towards the tube, lit a lighter, and said, "Suck".
I did, and got the most amazing tingle over my body. He pulled off my t-shirt and shorts then lay me on my back on the couch, my head over the low armrest. He went around to the end, leaned over, and again pushed his hard cock in my mouth. I was like upside-down with him doing pushups over me, really sliding his dick all the way in my mouth. He held the glass tube to my mouth for another big hit, saying, "You like getting your mouth fucked like a girl, don't you? I knew you would be a good cocksucker the first time I saw you.", and resumed pumping his stiff prick into my mouth.
I was completely naked, on my back, pinned down and unable to resist, while I had fat stranger forcing me to suck his stiff cock. I was thinking that I could never tell anyone about it, but considered just telling my aunt. She would never tell anyone; I was convinced of that. Between the bumps of balls on my forehead, I watched the action on the TV. I began to imagine the older woman encouraging the young boy to suck off the man was not an anonymous acquaintance of his. I imagined she was his aunt.
As I fantasized about having Aunt Marie encouraging me to do such forbidden and nasty acts to a stranger in a scene like that, I felt my penis rise and get very stiff. Mr. Cooper leaned over and guided my hand to my cock, stroking my hand over it in rhythm with his own pumping. As I stroked myself, he tickled my nipples. I was so aroused thinking about Aunt Marie and my secret acts, I felt a crisis building in my erection.
"Are you going to cum? I want to do it with you " As I felt myself shoot liquid over my hand (I though I was urinating), I felt his hands holding my cheeks tighten, and he slammed his stiff cock all the way in, and started to shoot a warm fluid into my throat. It did not taste like urine; and I wondered what it was. He kept my face still as he shot more and more into my mouth, saying dirty things like, "Let your daddy shoot into your pussy-mouth ", and, "That's right, baby, cum I won't tell your aunty that you like to suck dick". I thought I was supposed to swallow it, but it overflowed onto my face. He pulled out and shot more stuff over my lips. I felt my own ecstasy with every spurt from my penis. The creamy stuff shot straight up into the air, and landed on my chest. I kept thinking of Aunt Marie's bare thigh squeezing my prick, her pubic hair, her naked breasts; I realized that my arousal was because I was thinking of her sexually.
As he went on about how he had popped my cherry, I could not tell him that what actually made me climax was thinking of my aunt knowing about it, even being encouraged by her.
The tape was over, so he started another. This one was about a young gay teen in a sauna with three huge men practically raping him. I smoked some more of his pipe, soon he was in front of me again, and I was on my knees sucking him off. He got a bottle of baby oil, and asked me to rub him. I was rubbing his legs while he had me blowing him, but soon I was thinking about my aunt again, and started to masturbate right there. He saw me beating off with my eyes closed, faster and faster, and all the while, he was holding me by the ears and pushing his dick back and forth with his hips. He was making remarks about how my 'mouth was softer than a pussy', and how it was 'our little secret' that I 'liked to get high and get fucked in the mouth.'
He was totally screwing my mouth with abandon now, occasionally slapping his cock on my face and giving me poppers or hits from his pipe. I was hoping no one would ever hear about my letting a fat, hairy neighbor make me his gay slave.

"With a growing global population and a finite supply of fossil fuels, the need to diversify our energy supply is urgent. We need to engage traditional exporters and emerging economies alike, to bolster international energy security, and ensure that countries' natural wealth results in inclusive growth." – Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton
The world runs on energy and people need affordable, reliable and sustainable energy supplies. Energy provides for our most basic needs and fuels the technologies that can secure our futures. But over one billion of the world's people still do not have access to electricity. If we ignore their needs, we entrench their poverty. If we expand their access to energy without making it sustainable, we accelerate environmental impacts and the competition for scarce resources.
Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton announced her intention to establish a Bureau of Energy Resources on October 14, 2011, as part of the State Department's first Quadrennial Diplomacy and Development Review. The Department is charged with shaping U.S. international energy engagement, influencing how nations move to a cleaner energy future, and protecting our energy infrastructure and transit routes.
This effort will require strong diplomatic relationships with major consumers and suppliers. We also need to anticipate changes in energy markets, and work with international organizations to stabilize markets and build capacity to manage them. Investments in secure, expanding, and ever-cleaner sources of energy will translate into improved health, greater economic sustainability, safer living environments, and enhanced U.S. national security.
A balanced approach requires a mix of old and new energy sources. Traditional sources like oil and gas continue to be essential but all countries must promote responsible use and diversification of those supplies. Meanwhile the search for long-term substitutes must continue. The new Bureau of Energy Resources will work closely with key actors in the energy sector – oil and gas producers, developers of renewable technologies, and NGOs – to spur innovation and unleash private capital in environmentally and commercially sustainable ways.
The creation of the new Bureau emphasizes the important role of energy in U.S. foreign policy. The United States has a long-standing interest in a secure supply of energy resources, as well as in sustaining and diversifying those resources.
The new Bureau will work across U.S. Government agencies to engage traditional exporters and emerging economies in a coordinated effort to:

The Obama campaign has shifted its focus to new GOP frontrunner Rick Santorum, slamming him for suggesting the president isn't a Christian.
Santorum fired back that he said no such thing, that he was discussing President Obama's liberal views, not this religious beliefs.
In Ohio over the weekend, Santorum told supporters at a tea party event that Obama's environmental views were harmful to the American people.
"It's not about you," Santorum said. "It's not about your quality of life. It's not about your jobs. It's about some phony ideal. Some phony theology. Oh, not a theology based on the Bible--a different theology."
The Obama campaign took to the airwaves, with Senior Campaign Adviser Robert Gibbs saying on "ABC This Week" that the remarks were "well over the line...it's wrong. It's destructive."
Santorum told CBS's "Face the Nation" that he "accepts the fact" that Obama is a Christian.
"I am talking about his world view...the way he approaches problems in this country. And I think they're different than how most people do in America," Santorum said.
A new Gallup poll shows Santorum leading Romney by eight points.

Whoever the Democrat candidate is better be prepared to kick some serious butt. Take the high road, sure, but don't screw around. Don't be a weasel like John Kerry was. Don't be a big baby like Al Gore. Be a man, even if you're a woman.
For young people, it must be hard to imagine a world without Bush as president. There are kids alive who don't remember anything else. If you bought a car when Bush first stole the election, it would have possibly 100,000 miles on it. If you got a puppy when Bush smirked his way through the oath of office, your pet dog would be in middle age.
This era kind of reminds me of when Eisenhower was president. I was 7 when he was elected and 15 when Kennedy took over. It seemed like Ike had been the president my whole life and this young, charismatic new guy was elected just as I was coming of age politically. Very exciting.
Obama's right. No matter what happens in November, Bush won't be on the ballot. In a way, I wish he was. Just once, I'd love to see him finally get what he deserves -- defeated in a landslide.

They've Slept On It
Sixty-eight years after last taking on a gun case, the Supreme Court awakens to a violent debate.
That the court finally agreed to do so isn't surprising. After Emerson and the D.C. case, there is a whopping split between the appeals courts. And parties on both sides of the D.C. case urged the court to take the case. Also, since the court has been napping, life has changed dramatically in America, as have guns, militias, and gun laws. But the thing that has both gun opponents and gun supporters terrified and hopeful in equal parts is that this court that is rubbing the sleep from its eyes is not the court of 1939, or 1959, or even 1999. The days of 25-paragraph unanimous decisions in cases as explosive as Miller are long gone. Most school kids probably think the sawed-off shotguns at issue in Miller are adorable, and four sitting members of the Supreme Court were on hand to celebrate the Federalist Society's 25th anniversary last week. * The current justices are well aware of the debate that has raged in the law reviews about the meaning of the Second Amendment, and they also know full well what happened at Virginia Tech.
There are many small and great ways in which a truly humble, minimalist Roberts court could make the D.C. gun case go away, as it has made so many other worthy cases go away in the past two years. There are looming disputes over whether the plaintiffs have standing to sue, as well as questions about whether the District of Columbia, a federal enclave, is even covered by the Second Amendment. There are, as well, enormous questions—on both sides—about what kind of regulations are "reasonable" and how to gauge that. But there are also, for the first time in decades, four strong conservatives on the high court, who have each, at different times and in different ways, telegraphed some small interest in revisiting this question, although not all would go so far as Clarence Thomas, who has written that he would like to restore the Second Amendment as the "the palladium of the liberty of a republic."
And so we have both sides warily hoping the court will do something bold and authoritative in District of Columbia v. Heller, so long as it tips the scales their way. It's a monstrous gamble for both groups, a gamble the gun rights crowd wouldn't have considered taking three years ago, and one the gun control folks wouldn't believe it could have lost until very recently.
Anyone who's ever attempted to smooch something that's been sleeping for 70 years knows full well that—even if you can get past the morning breath—it's awfully hard to control what happens next. Heller—which will inform the 2008 election in ways we haven't even begun to contemplate—is poised to turn the Supreme Court from everyone's Sleeping Beauty to somebody's slumbering Beast.

Initial Claims Soar To 439K, Non-Seasonally Adjusted Surge By Whopping 104,548 In One Week
Get ready for the "it's all Sandy's fault" barrage, because the post-reelection status quo sure will desperately need it today. The latest initial claims data posted a multi-year high 104,548 surge in weekly NSA claims from 361,800 to 466,348, and even the Seasonally adjusted number soaring from 361K to 439K on expectations of a 375K print. In other words, a complete disaster for any economic data bulls. What is truly amusing is that the same Wall Street "experts" who set expectations were unable to foresee the Sandy effect that every "macrotourist" on Twitter apparently is so very aware of. Also, it is apparently also "Sandy's fault" (now that the Bush excuse is back in retirement) that the prior week's claims were revised from 355K to 361K. Basically, just as we said 3 weeks ago, ignore every negative data point: it is Sandy's fault. However, for the snapback, when there actually is good news to be had, well, "four more years." Finally, to all the Sandy apologists: is the logic here that: if Hurricane, then Fire everyone? Because that is what is implied. To summarize: a hurricane is good for GDP (lots of broken windows), but any actually negative news (surge in firings) is perfectly expected.
Here is a list of all the consensus misses since 1999, courtesy of John Lohman. With a miss of 64K, "we are #2, baby."
But that's not all.
Read this to get a sense of the complete goalseeked and manipulated farce that are BLS data.
Several states said the increase was due to the storm that hit the Northeastern part of the U.S. in late October, a Labor Department spokesman said as the data were released to the press. The extent of the damage means it may take weeks for the underlying trend in firings to again become clear. Before the storm, the labor market was gaining momentum even as year-end domestic fiscal policy uncertainties raised concern among businesses. The Labor Department spokesman did not name the affected states, citing agency policy not to single out any one area. Today's report showed a loss of electricity prevented New York offices from taking claims two weeks ago. In addition, since Monday was a government holiday, three states and territories -- Hawaii, Oregon and Puerto Rico -- didn't report claims data, causing the Labor Department to estimate their totals, the spokesman said. Two others, California and Virginia, provided their own estimates.
Bottom line: guesswork, no actual data reporting, and hurricane excuses. Spin, Spin, and more post-election Spin.
At least CPI came in at 0.1%, in line with expectations, down from 0.6% before, driven by a drop in energy prices, even as Transportation Services, Electricity and Food at home posted multi-month highs.
Finally, the Empire Manufacturing Index printed at -5.22, the 4th consecutive negative print, better than the expected -8, even as Number of Employees index plunged from -1.08 to -14.61. Shhhh. Sandy's fault too....

Has Krugman commented on this yet? I'm sure he will explain it all for us........and we'll see that the recovery is picking up steam, we just can't see it without his magic Keynsian goggles.
We need a carbon tax to stabilize the labor market.

Red States produce the food you say? Last I checked they produced GMO corn a substance that isn't food. Rather that commodity is an organic chemical that can be conveniently and cheaply linked to other chemicals and compounds to produce taste and texture sensations containing calories, fat and salt and brain triggers that tell you to eat more of the stuff.
Granted, this is an old and well established American tradition. I'm not even sure if putting cocaine into coca cola was the first use of that practice of passing off harmful substances as consumable.
Hey, posters, I see that the link between politically motivated layoffs and the uptick in ue claims has been duly noted but otherwise ignored.
That is rich.
Only 5k of the 80k increase was in the states of, NY, NJ, and CT.

Eurozone slides back into recession
Friday, November 16, 2012
LONDON (AP) — The 17-country eurozone has fallen back into recession for the first time in three years as the fallout from the region's financial crisis was felt from Amsterdam to Athens.
And with surveys pointing to increasingly depressed conditions across the 17-member group at a time of austerity and high unemployment, the recession is forecast to deepen, and make the debt crisis — which has been calmer of late — even more difficult to handle.
Official figures Thursday showed that the eurozone contracted by 0.1 percent in the July to September period from the quarter before as economies including Germany and the Netherlands suffer from falling demand.
The decline reported by Eurostat, the EU's statistics office, was in line with market expectations and follows on from the 0.2 percent fall recorded in the second quarter. As a result, the eurozone is technically in recession, commonly defined as two straight quarters of falling output.
The eurozone economy shrank at annual rate of 0.2 percent during the July-September quarter, according to calculations by Capital Economics.
"The eurozone economy will continue its decline in Q4 and probably well into 2013 too — a good backdrop for another debt crisis," said Michael Taylor, an economist at Lombard Street Research.
Because of the eurozone's grueling three-year debt crisis, the region has been the major focus of concern for the world economy. The eurozone economy is worth around $12.1 trillion, which puts it on a par with the U.S.. The region, with its 332 million people, is the U.S.'s largest export customer, and any fall-off in demand will hit order books.
While the U.S has managed to bounce back from its own recession in 2008-09, albeit inconsistently, and China continues to post strong growth, Europe's economies have been on a downward spiral — and there is little sign of any improvement in the near-term. Last week, the European Union's executive arm forecast the eurozone's economy would shrink 0.4 percent this year. Then only a meager 0.1 percent growth in 2013.
The eurozone had avoided returning to recession since the financial crisis following the collapse of U.S. investment bank Lehman Brothers, mainly thanks to the strength of its largest single economy, Germany.
But even that country is now struggling as exports drain in light of the economic problems afflicting large chunks of the eurozone.

There was little standing around Sunday.
Chargers center Nick Hardwick, left guard Chad Rinehart and left tackle King Dunlap ran a run play against the defense in a half-line drill. Nearly the moment that play was done, a huddle broke, and out came backup center Dave Molk, right guard Jeromey Clary and right tackle D.J. Fluker.
The defense defended again.
Back and forth, play after the play, the next play came with minimal rest between.
First-year coach Mike McCoy has kept a noticeable tempo to his practices this offseason. It's one thing to push a fast pace in the spring, in shorts, during a nine-week workout program. It's another during the longer, two-hour padded practices of training camp virtually every day.
"You've just got to fight through it and we're not going to let up," McCoy said. "We're going to keep up. We have a tempo we want to set every day. They've got to do it. There's only one way to get into football shape. We're going to play some teams that play an up-tempo system and we've got to do a great job of being in great shape. We've got to get in the best shapes of our lives."
The rationale behind the tempo extends beyond conditioning.
The faster a team goes, the more plays it can run. The more plays, the more film it'll have to evaluate as the coaches measure their roster.
"We tell the players we're going to challenge them," McCoy said. "That's how we all started practice today and they did a nice job."
Box office
The first four days of Chargers training camp were open to the public.
Today, it'll be a different crowd.
The team is opening its 9:30 a.m. practice exclusively to a portion of season-ticket holders, part of a continued effort, it says, to make the season ticket carry more value. The success the Chargers have in those sales is prudent to avoiding NFL-mandated television blackouts, something that's been a recent struggle.
Half of the Chargers' eight regular-season games in 2012 were blacked out.
A.G. Spanos, Chargers CEO, said he is "very optimistic" it can sell out every home game this year, in part because of projected single-game sales for a schedule that includes the Texans, Broncos, Cowboys, Giants and Colts.
But to this point, the sale of season tickets has been a mixed bag.
"We've had a lot of new sales," Spanos said. "Renewals are not where we'd like it to be. … We have over 1,000 more new (season) tickets sold than at the same point last year. New sales-wise, year over year, we're much better. Percentage-wise on renewals, we're about the same, but we started with a smaller base. That's what the problem is. We've got to get our renewal percentage higher."
There has been one noticeable sale.
A UCSD Medical Center patch is stitched to the upper left of every Chargers jersey in practice. A banner with the same logo hangs from the team building rafter facing the practice field.
It's the first presenting sponsor a Chargers training camp has had, Spanos said.
"That's going to keep us competitive with the rest of the teams in the league," he added. "They're doing those kinds of sponsorships. We've just got to keep pace."

Lean Six Sigma class encourages new ideas
October 13, 2011
By Russell Sellers, Army Flier Staff Writer
FORT RUCKER, Ala. (October 13, 2011) -- "Because that's how we've always done it," is not an acceptable excuse for those who recently completed the Lean Six Sigma class here.
The Department of the Army-funded and Training and Doctrine Command-taught class began here in July with 15 students. Those 15 graduated from the course with Black Belt certification Oct. 6. This was the first time the Black Belt certification course had been taught at Fort Rucker, said Rod Norris, TRADOC LSS instructor.
All 15 are now "Black Belt" certified through the course and are ready to take the information and knowledge they've gained to their organizations and units, said Norris.
"This is all about finding broken processes in the Army and fixing them," he said. "We want to do it in a disciplined, diplomatic sort of way. That's what a (Black Belt certified) individual does."
A Black Belt certified LSS graduate uses what Norris referred to as the DMAIC system. It stands for Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve and Control, he added.
The course lasted four weeks, but was only taught for one week each month since July, Norris said. Each student was also tasked to come up with a project to apply what they had learned in order to become certified upon graduation.
"This program has been going on since 2006," Norris said. "The Army has trained over 450 Black Belts, to which we've added 15 with this course."
Col. John M. Lynch, TRADOC capability manager, was instrumental in bringing the LSS training here, Norris added. Lynch said this class is going to be highly beneficial to Fort Rucker and the U.S. Army Aviation Center of Excellence.
"These graduates are going to take these skills back to their organizations and it's going to wind up cutting costs in the long run," he said. "They'll also be able to develop new projects in the future now that they can put these concepts into practice. It's much like the Leading Change concept here."
Lynch told the graduates they have accomplished something that only a few have, and that they should take their skills and use them to their full advantage.
"What a great opportunity that has been presented to your commands," he said. "I commend them for allowing them to take advantage of this. It's both good for the individual and the Army."
While the class mostly consisted of civilians, there were some Soldiers who took part as well, including Maj. Andrew Herzberg, Basic Officer Leadership Course commander.
"LSS brings an interesting approach for problem solving," he said. "I liked it because I found it challenging and it exposed me to forms of thought I hadn't previously seen. The Army has its way of solving problems and this has its own way."
Herzberg said he isn't sure how BOLC will be affected just yet, but he's sure the training he's picked up here will definitely affect decision making and organizing in the future.
"The different approaches to thinking I learned here can be broadly applied to what my company does in terms of the mission," he said. "We can find better ways of doing things that we do every day, like processing leave forms, we can find better ways of doing things like that. It's all about taking a high-quality product, and making it better. This class is very learner centric. It's more of a collaborative process between instructor and student."

Eating with hands and fingers is natural for the younger children, but a it's not a proper way. There comes a
stage when a child needs to master the art of using a spoon and fork. Though initially it seems very difficult for them and they may eat lesser or even refuse to eat but with encouragement, proper motivation by making them sit and eat with you and letting them watch the way you eat, they will start doing so by the time they reach 3 or 4 years of age [Bright Future]
Below I am going to state the Proper Method to achieve this task. But remember patience is the key.
Yes, they make special utensils for the little ones like training mugs, training spoons and forks etc. These utensils are small and have chubby handles and safely rounded edges on the fork tines and spoon edges.
Use Shallow Bowls
Serve food in shallow bowls with rounded sides to help your child use utensils for eating. The rounded sides will provide a sturdy edge against which the child may push the utensil to load it with food. Give your child choice by placing the utensils in front of your child at meal time. Teach your child how to grasp the utensils in his hands remember the child won't be able to grasp it properly and the utensils may slip from his hand if its full or heavy.
First let the Child eat his way
Just let them use either their fingers or the utensils but urge them to use the utensils. Tell them its not appropriate to eat with fingers as there may be germs in them and will make him sick. Encourage him by using the same type of utensils yourself. This will make him feel friendly and curious at the same time. Motivation and encouragement is the key.

Camera Lenses Explained: how to get sharp photos using prime lenses
In the second part of our Shoot Like A Pro Series on how to get the sharpest photos possible with your camera's lenses, we turn our attention to prime lenses. In this post we explain why you might wish to swap the convenience of a zoom lens for the speed and quality of a prime lens to drastically improve the quality of your photos.
Fixed focal-length lenses (primes) may seem a bit like dinosaurs in these days of image-stabilised zoom lenses and the high-quality ISO capabilities of the latest DSLRs, but they still have a place in your camera bag.
Sharpness is the key reason why prime lenses are such a great choice. With zoom lenses you get the convenience, but this is often at the cost of image quality, with barrel and pin-cushion distortions appearing at the wide-angle and telephoto ends of the zoom range.
You can also expect an increase in colour fringing around high-contrast edges in a scene when you use a zoom, as well as vignetting. This latter effect is most commonly seen when you're using large apertures at the wide-angle end of your zoom.
What's more, zoom lenses are also more prone to ghosting and flare.
Switch to a high-quality prime lens, and distortion and vignetting will be much less noticeable. Sharpness should also be excellent, so you can really make the most of the high-resolution sensors fitted to current digital cameras.
There are plenty of prime lenses to choose from. The prices of extremely fast wide-angle and telephoto optics are verging on lottery-win territory, but there are more reasonable options around such as the Nikon 50mm f/1.8 that we've been using, which is available for under £100.
After sharpness, the main advantage of using a prime lens over the more common zoom is the wider maximum aperture, which enables you to shoot in lower light levels at the same ISO without risking camera shake.
When people say that prime lenses are 'faster', what they mean is that prime lenses have a larger maximum aperture, which allows you to shoot at quicker shutter speeds.
A typical 18-55mm zoom lens, for example, has a maximum aperture of roughly f/4 at the wide-angle end, shrinking to a mere f/5.6 at about 50mm. Switch to a 50mm f/1.4 prime lens and the largest available aperture is four stops faster.
In low light you'd be limited to a shutter speed of around 1/15 sec with a typical zoom (unless you increase your ISO setting).
However, an f/1.4 lens will allow you to use a much faster shutter speed of around 1/250 sec. An f/1.8 lens is 3.3 stops faster than an f/5.6 lens, and even an f/2.8 model is two stops faster.

Houston was a wasted weekend in the CART days and will be again now. "track" might be different and in a different location but street races in general are a waste and the weather there is miserable most of the time. If the promotion there is the same as before (or as for current races elsewhere) attendance will be nil.

Basketball star Shaquille O'Neal has paid for the funeral of a 5-year-old North Carolina girl whose kidnapping and slaying received national news coverage.
The Fayetteville Observer in North Carolina reported Thursday that the Cleveland Cavaliers player was touched by the case of Shaniya Davis.
More than 2,000 people attended her funeral Sunday. The girl's body was found Nov. 16 beside a rural road.
Her mother, Antionette Davis, is charged with human trafficking and child abuse involving prostitution. Mario McNeill is charged with murder, rape and kidnapping.
The funeral home declined to say what the service cost.
A Cavaliers official did not return calls from The Associated Press early Thursday. The funeral home declined comment.

RISMEDIA, August 9, 2010—Home values in the United States continued to decline in the second quarter of 2010, with the Zillow Home Value Index falling 3.2% year-over-year and 0.6% from the first quarter to $182,500. The national rate of decline decelerated from the first quarter, marking the second consecutive quarter of slowing declines, and negative equity fell to 21.5%, according to the second quarter Zillow Real Estate Market Reports.
Negative equity, which refers to the percentage of single-family homeowners with mortgages who are underwater, fell from 23.3% in the first quarter, and from 23% one year ago.
Conditions varied among individual markets across the country. In California, where both federal and state tax credits are available to some homebuyers, more than a quarter (27.8%) of markets tracked by Zillow saw increases in home values in the past year. Home values in five California markets have increased for the past five quarters, and four of those have increased by more than 5% since the second quarter of 2009. The Zillow Home Value Index was up 7.3% year-over-year in the San Diego metropolitan statistical area (MSA); up 5.9% in the San Francisco MSA; up 5.6% in the San Jose MSA; and up 5.5% in the Los Angeles MSA.
Meanwhile, home values in Florida and Arizona continued to show dramatic declines, with home values in the Miami-Fort Lauderdale MSA falling 15.2% year-over-year and home values in the Phoenix MSA falling 11.8%. In the Detroit MSA
"As the national housing market limps toward stabilization, individual markets are a mixed bag," said Zillow Chief Economist Dr. Stan Humphries. "The double tax credits for some California homebuyers have certainly stimulated housing demand and are partly responsible for the rapid—and likely unsustainable—rates of appreciation in many markets across the state. While there is some uncertainty about how home values will respond in those markets once all incentives are removed, it's certain they can't continue at their current rates of appreciation, but is unlikely they will re-test the low points reached in 2009.
"Markets in other parts of the country, like Miami and Phoenix, are not yet showing signs of reaching a bottom in home values. High supply continues to be a challenge in states like Florida and Arizona.
"Nationally, home values are moving in the right direction as rates of decline continue to slow. There is a large unknown on the horizon, however, as these second quarter numbers are still heavily influenced by the federal homebuyer tax credits, which were available for homes under contract by the end of April. Home sales are declining significantly in the post-tax credit environment, but the impact of falling home sales on already-declining home values is yet to be seen. Recent trends in home values suggest the nation could reach a bottom in the latter half of 2010, but we continue to be cautious about the impact of declining home sales."
Foreclosures again reached a new peak in June, with more than one out of every 1,000 (0.11%) U.S. homes being foreclosed upon during the month.
Foreclosure re-sales fell in June, making up 16.9% of all U.S. home sales during the month, down from a 2010 high of 19.8% in February. Foreclosure re-sales continued to be high in most markets hit hardest by value declines. For example, they made up 55.8% of June sales in the El Centro, Calif. MSA, 54.6% in the Madera, Calif. MSA and 53.6% in the Merced, Calif. MSA. Additionally, more than one-fourth (26%) of home sales nationwide sold for less than what the seller originally paid.

Drinking Water State Revolving Fund monies from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 will be awarded as loans, but the loans will be structured so that half of the principal will be "forgiven" and the other half of the loan will be repaid at zero percent interest with up to a 20-year payback. The principle forgiveness means that half of each loan will not need to be repaid. The other half of the money will need to be repaid at a zero percent interest rate. If a project's actual costs are lower cost than originally projected or the scope of the project is reduced , the same 50-50 split will be maintained.
Application Process
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 was signed into law on Feb. 17. This act provides funds available to water systems through the Drinking Water State Revolving Funds administered by the Environmental Protection Agency. Funds must be committed to projects within a very short period of time. The PWS Section is reviewing applications for drinking water projects. The PWSS has developed instructions for submitting projects, which may be updated as we learn more about how the Act will be implemented.
In order for PWSS to meet the EPA deadlines, water systems must submit abbreviated applications by Feb. 27. Additional application materials are due by March 31. The following items must be included in the abbreviated application due on Feb. 27:
- Pages 2, 3 and 4 only of the "Application for DEQ Funding Assistance for Wastewater and Drinking Water Projects form" shall be provided in addition to a Preliminary Engineering Report
- A brief Preliminary Engineering Report including project description, alternatives analysis, cost estimate and any relationship of this project to water and energy efficiency or drought preparedness.
The following items must be submitted by March 31, 2009:
- Documentation of completed Environmental Review with a Categorical Exclusion or FONSI;
- The date and serial number for the approval of plans and specifications and the Authorization to Construct;
- Governing Board Resolution/Certification; and
- LGC 108C (note: this is needed earlier than usual to meet accelerated deadlines).

BSL-3 Laboratory Provides New Opportunities for Texas Tech
Scientists can perform research related to biological pathogens and toxins that could impact human and animal health.
Texas Tech's Biological Threat Research Laboratory will provide opportunities for Texas Tech researchers by providing the resources to perform both basic and applied research related to biological pathogens and toxins that impact human and animal health.
The Biological Threat Research Laboratory is not a large space, but it will provide big opportunities for Texas Tech researchers.
The new biosafety level three (BSL-3) lab gives the university the ability to perform both basic and applied research related to biological agents and toxins that have the potential to impact human and animal health.
"It is exciting that Texas Tech has developed this new facility that will immensely advance our biosecurity in West Texas," said Robert V. Duncan, Texas Tech vice president for research. "Many of our leading researchers at Texas Tech are interested in understanding how disease crosses over from animal populations to humans, as most diseases do."
The City of Lubbock Health Department had a similar facility for years, but when the city decided to discontinue the facility, city officials contacted Texas Tech.
"Texas Tech was able to utilize existing laboratory equipment and resources in the new facility," said Steve Presley, laboratory director. "Most importantly to Texas Tech is that we've expanded on what the city was doing by introducing a research component to the BSL-3."
Early Warning System
The lab will allow Texas Tech to function as a public resource for the identification and confirmation of biological samples for outbreaks of infectious diseases and other public health emergencies.
President Nellis tours the BSL-3 facility during the dedication and tour held prior to the lab opening.
"If a hospital submits flu samples, we can determine if it is the normal seasonal flu predicted by the Centers for Disease Control or an unexpected strain," said Presley.
The lab is much more than an influenza surveillance facility. It also can test for a variety of bacteria, parasites and viruses, such as West Nile virus and SARS coronavirus, among other emerging strains of infection.
"Many old diseases are making a comeback," said Presley. "We're seeing cases of dengue fever, Chagas disease and even bubonic plague in increasing numbers in Texas and across the country. All of these pathogens exist in nature and animals in our region."
Animal–Human Connection
It is the transfer of diseases from animals to humans that is the focus of Presley's own research. The World Health Organization reports that about 60 percent of the known infectious diseases can infect both humans and animals.
An associate professor of environmental toxicology, Presley and his research group are looking at routes and mechanisms of human exposure to animal-borne diseases. One project studies tularemia, which is commonly known as rabbit fever. Rodents, wild game and arthropods carry the bacteria. Presley is working to determine how this disease moves to humans through feral hog and deer populations, as well as ticks and deer flies.
Steve Presley, a zoonotic disease researcher at TIEHH, studies the transfer of disease from animals to humans, such as Tularemia, an infectious disease found in feral hogs.
In humans, tularemia can cause fever and lethargy–signs of blood poisoning–and in some cases, it can be fatal. Feral hog populations are increasing drastically in Texas, and hogs are being seen in small towns and city suburbs.
"With more human interaction with animals in the wild, the more likely people will be exposed to emerging diseases like tularemia," said Presley. "It's especially of concern for those who handle, clean or eat wild game. One part of our research is looking at the transmission dynamics between animals and humans, and how we can interrupt that cycle, so that humans are less likely to be exposed."
The BSL-3 will allow Presley and other researchers to advance their research. In the past, Presley said he has come across what he believed to be tularemia in feral hogs. To confirm his suspicion, he had to send samples to the BSL-3 facility when it was operated by the City of Lubbock.
"The lab did confirm our suspicion, but we had to give the samples to the CDC and could not continue to work with them because we did not have an approved laboratory," said Presley. "We have been limited to screening the animals for the presence of antibodies of certain pathogens. Now we can use whole blood and tissue to determine, first, if the disease really is present, and then look at any number of things, including if the disease is drug resistant and how virulent it may be."
Safety and Security
A lab technician demonstrates equipment and procedures to Vice President for Research Robert Duncan during the BSL-3 dedication and tour held prior to the lab opening.
The 1,600-square-foot BSL-3 suite is a highly secure facility–only authorized faculty and students are issued codes to enter, and every individual must follow exacting protocols.
"The facility is safe," said Presley. "It is a highly restricted area with separate and redundant electrical, water and air-handling mechanical services. In a sense, it's a building within a building. There are very specific procedures for donning and doffing personal protective equipment (PPE). It's scripted, and one must follow the script exactly."
The suite itself is circular in design. Personnel don PPEs, which consist of full body coverings, in an outer room. Once suited up, they enter a central room. Other rooms, located off of the central room, are used for activities such as sample processing. These rooms have further restrictions and can be entered with a second authorized code. Upon leaving the lab, each person participates in a decontamination process where everything is sterilized or destroyed.
For Presley and other researchers, the specific construction needs and the intricate safety and security procedures are well worth the effort.
"Texas Tech researchers dealing with biological agents and toxins have been limited due to the lack of a BSL-3 lab," said Presley. "The BSL-3 facility has the potential to improve and expand the capabilities and scope of human and animal health-related research at Texas Tech."
The Institute of Environmental and Human Health (TIEHH) develops environmental and health sciences research and education at Texas Tech and Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center.
The institute's goal is to position Texas Tech as an internationally recognized force in the integration of environmental impact assessment of toxic chemicals with human health consequences, framed in the context of science-based risk assessment to support sound environmental policy and law.

Daily Tele launches next 'We're For Sydney' campaign
The Daily Telegraph has used the AFL and NRL grand finals to launch the next phase of its "We're for Sydney" campaign.
The TV spot, created by AJF Partnership Sydney, is intended to preview a wider campaign featuring real Sydneysiders telling their stories.
The campaign features more than 200 people from 50 Sydney suburbs, from Mount Druitt, to Palm Beach.
Adam Rose, creative director at AJF said: "To meet and work with so many unique people across Sydney has been such a refreshing and positive experience – their stories and willingness to get involved is what this campaign is all about. This is just the beginning of some very exciting things we have in store for The Tele."
Says David Goldman, News Limited's GM of marketing for NSW, said: "The Daily Telegraph proudly champions and celebrates what matters to the people of Sydney. Since the campaign's inception in March, we have really strengthened the relationship between Sydney and our brand."

Too bad for the rest of NSW where the paper circulates…kind of alienates them, don't you think?
I think 'the best address in the world' sums it up best. Better than that stuff about anyone can be anyone. I feel that's better suited to a place like Melbourne. And I can say that; I'm from Sydney.
Love the tweet from SMH journo Sebastian Hassett in the 'THEY SAID IT' column of the Tele today "Daily Telegraph's 'We're for Sydney' ad is pretty bloody fantastic. Probably get fired for saying that. #ohwell"
wow. way to rock the parochialism guys. I love all the shots of people under the age of 30… yknow… the ones who will never buy a paper.
I'm under 30. Just. And no you're right I don't buy the paper during the week. Like most of us in adland I'd say we read the free copy in our offices. I thought this ad was great. Made me feel proud to live here. I now know what the Daily Telegraph stands for – me. Can't say the same for SMH.
Great ad – beautiful shots of our fabulous city
Love this. Beautifully written and captured. What a bloody great town we do live in. Nice to see that gratuitous shots of journalists and people reading the paper were avoided. I was pleasantly surprised to see it was from The Daily Telegraph when I saw it on the weekend.
great creative – shame the paper is intensely attacking, not refreshing and doesnt report on these wonderful insights
Great spot! Congrats to those involved. I hate the tele 10% less now, seriously..
Firstly, its so been done. That new online campaign for Qantas hotel brand did this a few months back but it was for travel, which kind of made more sense. This style is not suited to a dying newspaper for one. a pointless attempt at repositioning


text: Animal-welfare groups are trying to make it a federal crime, punishable by jail, to be a spectator at an animal fight. Both the U.S. House and Senate versions of the farm bill, which is now being negotiated, include prohibitions against attending an animal fight. According to Wayne Pacelle of the Humane Society of the United States, spectators are not innocent bystanders. He says federal law enforcement agencies should be able to go after them. It's already a felony in Virginia to attend an animal fight, punishable by fines and a maximum of five years in jail. Pacelle said the spectator prohibition act would fortify the Virginia law, and take away incentives for dog fighting and cockfighting across the nation. The legislation is available at GovTrack.us.

Fortunately, exceptional children are finding more widespread acceptance in international and American overseas schools. Our attitudes are shifting and these children are no longer perceived as "exceptions". In fact, as teachers and administrators come to know, understand and appreciate these children, schools around the world are transforming what was initially perceived as an educational problem into powerful learning opportunities. As we come to know our exceptional students, we also come to know the myriad ways in which LD, ESL and Highly Capable students enrich and enhance our educational programs for all students.

64th annual Ocean Beach Kiwanis Kite Festival
When: 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday
Where: Ocean Beach Recreation Center, 4726 Santa Monica Ave.
What: Kite making is 9 a.m. until 12:30 p.m., followed by judging at 1 p.m. in the schoolyard of Ocean Beach Elementary School. Materials will be provided. The festival also includes craft fair booths, amusement park rides, a kite-flying contest and a performance by the local band Beer Feat.
Cost: Free
Online: oceanbeachkiwanis.org
Melanie Nickel knows that by the time the Ocean Beach Kiwanis Kite Festival wraps up on Saturday, she'll be one exhausted woman.
"At the end of the day, we go home tired, but we know we made a lot of people happy," says Nickel, organizer of the annual event put on by the Kiwanis Club.
Nickel, a past president of the Ocean Beach Kiwanis Club, recalls hearing a visitor say once: "It's family, it's fun, it's free. What's not to like?"
The event, now in its 64th year, is definitely family-friendly: It's billed as a fun-filled day of kites, crafts and entertainment.
The 14-member Kiwanis Club works for three months to put on the kite festival, one of its biggest events of the year.
This year's festival is expected to attract more than 1,000 visitors. While the Kiwanis Club has few members, they certainly don't lack passion or dedication.
Past organizer Marion Miller, known fondly as the "Kite Lady," was so dedicated to the festival that age could not stop her from organizing the festival.
Nickel says of Miller, who has since died: "She was still doing it — oxygen tank and all — up to the very end. She was pretty amazing."
Jenny Lee is a U-T San Diego intern.

Let's remember - not relive - the Joe Webb game
There is no data to display.
Why are fans worried about the Vikings?
Joe Webb's only win as a starting QB remains his 2010 victory over the Eagles. He's since been converted to a wide receiver. (AP)
It was a memorable game -- for all the wrong reasons. The last time the Vikings played the Eagles in Philadelphia, it went very well for the Vikings and not well at all for the Eagles.
That meeting three years ago was delayed until Tuesday because of a massive snowstorm (forever known as the Nation of Wusses game, thanks to Gov. Ed Rendell's unique, spontaneous, colloquial poetry). The Eagles lost and went into a three-game slide to finish the season with a thud.
"I remember we had to delay the game for like four days and now all of a sudden [the Eagles] can play in a blizzard, huh?" Vikings defensive tackle Jared Allen joked during his conference call this week. "They're totally different teams, obviously. The schemes are different. Different players. Obviously, it was a good game for us. We were able to come out on top in that game. Tuesday night was unique.
"But I don't know that we can draw a whole lot of comparisons for this week. [The Eagles] are hot right now. They're on a win streak. They're playing good ball. We have a tough challenge ahead of us."
There are more similarities between the situations than Allen might realize. Three years ago, the Eagles were 10-4 and in first place in the NFC East. The Birds had won three straight and six out of seven going into the season's penultimate regular-season game against Minnesota. The Vikings were also without one of their best players, quarterback Brett Favre. Minnesota was forced to play backup Joe Webb, who was so awful as a quarterback that he was later converted to wide receiver. Despite all that, the Vikings won.
As the Eagles enter this weekend's rematch with Minnesota, they're on a five-game win streak. They're in first place in the NFC East with three games remaining. And, once again, the Vikings figure to be without one of their best players. This time they probably won't have the services of Pro Bowl running back Adrian Peterson, who suffered a foot injury last weekend. Toby Gerhart (not Joe Webb) will likely get most of the workload in the backfield (see story).
"Oh, man, it was a rough game for me," Michael Vick said when asked what he remembered about the 2010 matchup against the Vikings. "I wish we could have started a little faster. It probably would have made a difference in our momentum and trying to get home-field advantage going into the playoffs.
"We played that game on a Tuesday, then we had to turn around and play again on a Sunday night. It just kind of threw off our rhythm a little bit."
Vick went 25 for 43 for 263 passing yards, with one touchdown and one interception. He added 63 rushing yards and a touchdown on the ground. That was it for the Eagles' scoring. They mustered just two touchdowns -- while turning the ball over three times -- and lost by 10.
"That was a low point for a lot of us," LeSean McCoy said. "I was so angry, because we worked so hard that whole year. Mike was amazing that year. Once we lost that game, the season was pretty much over.
"For sure, that was a wake-up call. That was a wake-up call for all of us. Chip is big on that. He's big on not looking past anybody. Every team, we're looking at 1-0. Every week."
At the least, the Eagles and Vikings won't play on Tuesday this time. And if there are similarities between the situation they faced three years ago and the circumstances this season, they're merely coincidental. When he was asked if he was worried this might be a "letdown game," Kelly didn't seem concerned.
"No, we are just a one‑week operation," Kelly said. "I literally was thinking of the Vikings game coming off the field on Sunday. What's our next opportunity to go out and see where we are as a team and that's what this deal is all about. I think the teams that are mentally tough can work their way through it and I think we have a mentally-tough group."

Log On Move On is the online Area Prospectus (AP) and Common Application Process (CAP) for the East Riding and Hull.
It has been developed over the last few years in response to a DCSF statutory requirement for its implementation across Local Authorities to ensure the impartiality of course information for learners to enable them to make informed choices.
The East Riding Learning Partnership has been responsible for the development and implementation of Log On Move On in the East Riding, working alongside colleagues from Hull City Council.
A joint Prospectus Board meets regularly to lead the Area Prospectus and Common Application Process developments.
The Area Prospectus (AP) provides young people with information about the qualification pathways they can follow at both 14-16 and 16-19.
The Common Application Process (CAP) connected to the Prospectus enables young people in Year 11 to apply for the post-16 opportunities online, and provides a mechanism for ensuring that every young person has the offer of a suitable education or training place, and gets the right amount of support at the right time.
Learners in East Riding schools are issued with a username and password during Year 10, which enables them to use the CAP system and apply for post-16 opportunities.
All providers are required to update their post-16 opportunities annually in September.
Schools can also upload their 14-16 opportunities onto the AP to support the options process in Year 9.
All schools across the East Riding have signed up to an IAG Learner Charter for 2010-2011 which includes the commitment to use the CAP for all post-16 courses from September 2010.
The Learning Partnership publishes regular updates for all partners using Log On Move On throughout the year which are available to download from these pages .
