WASHINGTON — The mother of a 6-year-old boy killed in the Connecticut school shooting filled in for President Barack Obama during the weekly radio and Internet address to make a personal plea from the White House for action to combat gun violence.
"Thousands of other families across the United States are also drowning in our grief," said Francine Wheeler, choking back tears in the address broadcast Saturday. "Please help us do something before our tragedy becomes your tragedy."
Ben Wheeler was among the 20 first-graders and six adults killed in the Dec. 14 attack at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown.
Francine Wheeler was the first person to deliver the address other than Obama or Vice President Joe Biden since the two took office in 2009.
Her husband, David Wheeler, sat silently next to her as she made the recording in the White House Library. Both wore the small green pins that have become a symbol of the shooting.
Obama asked Wheeler to deliver this week's address, which was taped Friday. The White House said Wheeler and her husband wrote the remarks.
"Sometimes, I close my eyes and all I can remember is that awful day waiting at the Sandy Hook Volunteer Firehouse for the boy who would never come home — the same firehouse that was home to Ben's Tiger Scout Den 6," Francine Wheeler said. "But other times, I feel Ben's presence filling me with courage for what I have to do, for him and all the others taken from us so violently and too soon."
Some of the Sandy Hook families, with Obama's blessing, have launched a stepped-up effort to push a gun-control bill through Congress.
Obama traveled Monday to Hartford, Conn., about an hour's drive from Newtown, to make his case for action. On the return trip to Washington, he brought back 12 of the victims' family members, who have been meeting with senators.
The Senate is considering a Democratic bill backed by Obama that would expand background checks, strengthen laws against illegal gun trafficking and slightly increase school security aid. The bill passed its first hurdle Thursday.
In the Republicans' weekly address, freshman Rep. Jackie Walorski of Indiana criticized the tax increases Obama proposed in the $3.8 trillion budget blueprint he unveiled Wednesday, calling it "a blank check for more spending and more debt."

Treaty Energy Corporation Announces The Production Rate Of Mitchell #3 Well And Begins Completion Work On Mitchell #4
NEW ORLEANS, June 5, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Treaty Energy Corporation (OTCQB: TECO) ( www.treatyenergy.com), a growth-oriented international energy company, announced today the results of the recently completed Mitchell #3 well in Tuscola, Texas and provided an update on the Mitchell #4 well and the Standard Lease operations. On May 21, 2013, the Mitchell #3 was put into full production and is producing consistently between 25 to 30 barrels of oil per day (BOPD). Mitchell #3 concluded swabbing operations on May 13, 2013 and was assigned an initial production (IP) rate of 53 BOPD. As of June 4, 2013 the tank reading on Mitchell #3 is approximately, 19' 8" or 394 barrels of oil.On June 4, 2013, Mitchell #4 was perforated and acidized. The well is currently undergoing swabbing operations. On May 11, 2013, the Mitchell #4 was cemented and cased. Over the next week, Treaty Energy will continue to swab and test the well. Once swabbing concludes, Treaty Energy will immediately place the well into production with a pump jack already in position over the wellhead. In order to determine the most efficient and best perforation zone, Treaty Energy held off on well completion until the results of Mitchell #3 had been analyzed. Treaty Energy believes that Mitchell #4 well will be similar to or marginally better than Mitchell #3 based upon initial geology reports. Similar protocols will be used to determine the flow rate of Mitchell #4. After initial production rates have subsided, Treaty Energy will monitor Mitchell #4 and will subsequently release stabilized production rates to shareholders. The rework on the Standard Lease is approximately two weeks behind schedule, due to the loss of an immediate family member of Treaty Energy's main operations manager on the project. Treaty Energy sends its condolences to the family affected by the tragic loss. Treaty Energy will resume operations on the Standard Lease next week.

Scott Burnside (4:02 PM)
Hello all, welcome to another edition of frozen rubber chat. Now, where were we?
Dan (Philadelphia)
Bob seems like the long term answer, what will they do when Leighton gets back? Does this team have any holes?
Scott Burnside (4:03 PM)
Dan; I like to call him Bobo the Goalie but that's just me. But he does look like the real deal. That said, it's a pretty small sample with the schedule not yet at the quarter-pole. When Leighton comes back and proves he is game-worthy I assume Brian Boucher will find himself with the Phantoms although I suppose some team might claim him on waivers.
PJ Windle (Asbury Park, NJ)
Wouldn't it be wise to cut ties with Rolston, take the money you save on the cap hit.. and look at making a trade with a bottom feeding team for a center who can pass the puck to Ilya Kovalchuk? There has to be a player out there that is enticing for the Devils to go take a run at... no?
Scott Burnside (4:07 PM)
PJ; Agreed that Rolston's $5 million cap hit is a bit mystifying but therein lies the problem; no one will take that salary unless the Devils will take on someone else's problem. Now, the Bruins will have some cap issues to deal with but not sure they'll want to help the Devils and then they would still need to shed or bury more salary if they were to take on a Michael Ryder or Blake Wheeler and frankly not sure that solves their problems anyway.
Andrew (new jersey)
What do you think is holding the rangers back from being a great team? Also I noticed where you were reporting from at prudential center about a week ago and I noticed that is where my seats are for the devils games!
Scott Burnside (4:09 PM)
Andrew; Well having a number-one center would be a help. And a true power play quarterback on the back end. But they work hard and there's lots of young talent for the first time in a long time (credit to Glen Sather where it is due). Getting Marian Gaborik back will be a boon to an offense that has to work hard for every little scrap.
Travis Weaver (Columbus OH)
Hey Scott, i know its early but do you think the Blues trade for Jaroslav Halak to be the trade of the year?
Scott Burnside (4:10 PM)
Travis; It is early but no question GM Doug Armstrong may have to answer for this piece of larceny at some point. Terrific piece of horse trading in a league that has very little of it.
Todd (Atlanta)
Hi Scott, Is Minnesota for real? Goaltending and defense ,plus good special team play. Five on five scoring getting more production. Can they keep it up?
Scott Burnside (4:12 PM)
Todd; Kudos to Todd Richards for getting the Wild on track especially when it comes to special teams. Both PK and PP are ranked in the top 10 and that'll get you a long way toward a playoff spot. Do I think they have enough scoring depth? No. Without P.M. Bouchard still and Guillaume Latendresse it's a lot to ask a pretty thin offense to keep this up all the way to April. But, oddly enough, I've been wrong before.
Rachel (Hattiesburg)
Hi Scott! 2 game suspension for Joe Thornton? Was that a little harsh in your opinion? Also, will the Sharks get some consistancy on offense any time soon? Thanks!
Scott Burnside (4:14 PM)
Rachel; No, in spite of what the Sharks say, I thought the suspension was about right. And other GMs I spoke to felt the same way. The problem for the league was that they'd showed video in the pre-season (Willie Mitchell on Jonathan Toews) that was very similar in nature - player out of the box hitting an unsuspecting opponent - and said that was legal. I think the issue if more of communicating what the league wants as opposed to Sharks being hard-done by. As for consistency the Sharks are a bit hard to figure out although they could sure use more help offensively from their back end at this point.
Todd (Pasadena, CA)
Being a long-time Los Angeles Kings fan, it is interesting to watch the Devils implode with Kovy staying in NJ instead of signed with the Kings. Do you think that the same bad karma would have befallen the Kings had they signed Kovalchuk instead of the Devils? Team chemistry is SO important!
Scott Burnside (4:16 PM)
Todd; Well, I'm sure the Kings are happy not to be headed down the path the Devils are traversing although I'm not sure it's all Kovalchuk's fault. Actually I think he made an egregious error in not signing with the Kings. I liked the idea of him playing with Kopitar, Williams, Smyth et al. Who knows how it would have worked out but the Kings are making a strong, early case for being a legitimate Cup contender without Mr. Kovalchuk.
Roy (Buffalo)
Any hope for Tyler Myers to right the ship? And why is it that so many rookie D-men seem to endure a sophomore slump?
Scott Burnside (4:18 PM)
Roy; He's too good a player not to get his game back but it does show you that no matter how much early success a player has when it comes to playing the blue line there's no substitute for experience. Myers isn't the first to go through it but the fact Henrik Tallinder, his partner from last season, is gone, may have something to do with his rocky start. Plus I don't much like the chemistry in that room so that might have something to do with it, too.
Sammy (Houston)
With Brunstrom having laid an egg in Dallas an d Gustavsson not exactly taking the NHL by storm, do you think we might finally be able to escape the "best player not in the NHL" hype that seems to have become the norm in the post lockout era?
Scott Burnside (4:21 PM)
Sammy; You raise a good point. There's a reason some players aren't in the NHL when they get into their early 20s and usually it's because they aren't good enough. Now, Gustavsson may yet turn into a good NHL netminder but he has yet to become The Monster he was billed as before signing in Toronto. As for Brunnstrom, not his fault he caught the imagination of the media and didn't turn out to be the next Peter Forsberg but it is a lesson for the media and GMs, too, about not necessarily believing the hype.
Chuck (Pittsburgh)
Hey Scott, I was wondering what is more suprising this season- The play of Evgeni Malkin or the play of Marc-Andre Fleury? Which one is actually hurting the pens more?
Scott Burnside (4:22 PM)
Chuck; Good questions and a good chance to plug our 'Game of the Week' tomorrow night as we'll be chatting and following the Penguins/Bruins tilt. Had a chance to chat with head coach Dan Bylsma this afternoon and he says Malkin should be in the line-up and hopes he will build on a good effort against Phoenix. Fluery will take more time for him to get back into a groove although imagine where the Pens would be if it weren't for Brent Johnson who has earned the playing time he's receiving with top numbers. That's going to be interesting to see how it plays out. Imagine Brent Johnson facing his old team the Caps in the Winter Classic.
The Great One (Ontario, Canada)
Nikolas Lidstrom is the only defenseman that is scoring more than a point a game. He is 40. How is this possible?
Scott Burnside (4:24 PM)
TGO; Freak of nature. Never mind Robert Redford in The Natural Lidstrom's got the lightning bolt stenciled to his sticks. Norris Trophy anyone?
Tim (AZ)
Hi Scott - I asked you this same question last week - any news on the Coyotes ownership situation? Haven't heard a lot of news about it.
Scott Burnside (4:25 PM)
Tim; You get points for perseverence. Nothing new to report. Matthew Hulsizer's people still negotiating a new lease with the City of Gongdale, er, Glendale, and a purchase price with the NHL. I think it will happen although Dec. 31 looms larger every day, no?
Andrew (Los Angeles)
I know its a little bit early, but as of right now which struggling team do you think will surprise fans with a strong second half of the season and squeak into the playoffs?
Scott Burnside (4:26 PM)
Andrew; Well it seems hard to believe but I still think the Devils have too much going on to miss the post-season. And I like how hard the Coyotes play even though they are well behind last year's pace.
CC (Atlanta )
Thrashers look the same as always... 10th best in the East. About right?
Scott Burnside (4:27 PM)
CC; I don't know. I like how this team battles. They need to get more consistent scoring I think but I still think they'll sneak into the post-season.
Paul Holmgren (Philly)
I know that 11.75M is a lot of cash, but did I get a steal for Giroux for the next 3 years?
Scott Burnside (4:28 PM)
Paul; If he continues to play like Peter Forsberg I think you got a bargain.
Terrell (Salisbury, MD)
What is on your mind if you are Semyon Varlamov? Michal Neuvirth is playing so well. Do you try to rush back or take it really slow to heal all your ailments?
Scott Burnside (4:30 PM)
Terrell; Given Varlamov's ongoing issues of durability I think the worst thing that can happen is to rush back in the hopes of reclaiming the starting job. He's still a kid (22)so he's got all the time in the world. Plus he's the one with the playoff experience.
Mustard (Toronto)
Hey Scott, I am not a Leafs fan but on a scale of 1-10 how close is Wilson to losing his job? Burke doesn't seem like a flip flopping Jerry Jones, but just like Dallas...every issue is magnified in Toronto.
Scott Burnside (4:31 PM)
Mustard; Brian Burke has a long history with Ron Wilson and I will be shocked if he fires him mid-season. That said, if they slide out of the playoffs and they cannot show improvement on their special teams he won't survive another off-season in my opinion.
Petey (NH)
Best one timer in the NHL right now?
Scott Burnside (4:31 PM)
Petey; Steven Stamkos. He is a machine.
t (n. dallas)
the stars are awesome entertainment are drawing ZERO fans - even with the world series done and the cowgirls embarrassing themselves. sigh - big d will never be a hockey town...
Scott Burnside (4:34 PM)
t; It's not that unusual for a team to experience some elasticity when it comes to bouncing back but not seeing fan support right away. Carolina saw that happen coming out of the lockout, fans not rushing back even though the 'Canes were among the most exicting teams in the game. Tampa will have to show they're the real deal before the crowds really come back to see the Bolts and I expect it will be the same for the Stars. I think uncertainty surrounding ownership also helps add to the lack of buzz around the team. Let's see what happens if they're still playing this well in February.
Gerry (Buffalo)
You said you think NJ will miss the playoff....what about the Sabres?
Scott Burnside (4:35 PM)
Gerry; Sorry, I meant I think the Devils can get back into the post-season. As for the Sabres I am less certain. That's a team that seems in need of a shake-up but it isn't likely to happen until the off-season.
Robin (Kingston, ON)
Thoughts on the Av's? Can they hold their own in the West with Budaj? We have been down this road before and their lack of depth scares me.
Scott Burnside (4:36 PM)
Robin; With all due respect to Budaj he has had opportunities before and never been able to deliver the goods. The Avs have tons of cap room and could use some help along the blue line. It will be interesting to see what they do given how much good young talent they have up front.
TicketsofBoston.com (Boston)
Hi Scott,There's a lot of discussion about contracting teams in other sports, what do you think about either the relocation of the southern teams to friendlier hockey climates or the elimination of them?
Scott Burnside (4:38 PM)
Tickets; Well, I assume the Coyotes are going to stay in Phoenix at least for the time-being and although it makes for an interesting story, especially in Canada, not sure there's a logical replacement for the good folks in Winnipeg. And with no arena in Quebec City no team is going back there any time soon. Likewise Southern Ontario where I think owners would like to see an expansion team to gather in more money. As for contraction barring another disaster a la Phoenix I just don't see it happening.
Jim (Toronto)
Is the Northeast all but won by the Bruins at this point? Or you think one of the other clubs can give them a run for it?
Scott Burnside (4:40 PM)
Jim; Well, not sure I would go that far. Let's see what happens if the Habs ever get their PP going. Or if Ottawa can keep getting contributions from Kovalev and Gonchar. But I do like the Bruins' depth and team defense to carry them to the top of the division when all is said and done.
Cameron (Vancouver)
Hey scott, vancouver has so much trouble with defence and injuries, why do you think that is? and also it seems like a goalie graveyard, do you think schneider might take over luongo's job this year?
Scott Burnside (4:42 PM)
Cameron; Interesting times for the Canucks with Keith Ballard a healthy scratch tonight vs the Canadiens with Dan Hamhuis expected back. But no, barring injury Luongo is gong to remain the man at least until Chicago eats the Canucks' lunch in the post-season once again.
David (Corona)
Bigger 40+ surprise, Lidstrom or Selanne?
Scott Burnside (4:42 PM)
David; Both great stories both great guys who will be first-ballot Hall of Famers. Have to say Selanne bigger surprise given the injuries he's had to overcome. Hope we don't say goodbye to either at season's end.
Andrew (Carlsbad NM)
Any hope for the Ducks this year?
Scott Burnside (4:44 PM)
Andrew; Speaking of the Ducks. Offensively this is a team that should compare with any team in the West. Defensively, well, that's another story. That said three wins in a row and a terrific turn by Lubomir Visnovsky who has helped stabilize the blue line. Like Paul Mara's quiet leadership there too. I still think it's a rough road to get to the playoffs but don't count them out yet.
Sonny (Vancouver)
Can the Flyers again win the eastern conference this year, with pittsburgh playing poorly as have are and given the caps previous track record in the playoffs?
Scott Burnside (4:48 PM)
Sonny; I think the Flyers will be in the hunt for both the Atlantic Division crown and the top seed in the east. Not sure you should count the Pens out yet and the Flyers have shown themselves to be pretty streaky both good and bad the last couple of years. As for the playoffs, great blue line and lots of depth up front. As is always the case, though, the issue of a Cup run will come back to goaltending. Does Bobrovsky look like he can carry the freight for four rounds? Could Leighton return to the form we saw for much of the playoffs (outside most of the final)? A lot to ask I would think.
Scott (The "D")
Afternoon Scott, Are the WIngs in your mind still a legit Finals team or getting a bit long in the tooth for an extended playoff run?
Scott Burnside (4:51 PM)
Scott; I still like the Wings to make a long run next spring. Head coach Mike Babcock will try and keep rolling three/four lines and using six defensemen in more or less equal portions to try and keep his troops fresh. He's starting to get production from Modano and Cleary which is important. And he's got Rafalski back so that will take some burden off Lidstrom. Assuming good healthy I still like the Wings to go to a conference final.
Ian (New York)
"Bobo the Goalie" isn't picking up any steam. He doesn't look like a "clown" out there and the word/sound "Bobo" isn't even in his name....let it go.
Scott Burnside (4:52 PM)
Ian; Maybe you're right. Bobrovsky. Bobo. No? Okay. I'm done with it.
Justin Williams (Los Angeles)
Do I smell another 30 goal season? On the way to The Cup Finals?
Scott Burnside (4:53 PM)
Justin; The folks in Cobourg, Ontario are proud of you for coming back as strongly as you have so far this season. Not to put the heebie jeebies on you but can't think of many players that have had worse injury luck. But your play is one of the reasons I think the Kings may be ready to go on a nice, long playoff run.
Imran (Edmonton)
Updated pick for western/eastern stanley cup final?
Scott Burnside (4:54 PM)
Imran; Not wavering from my Chicago/Detroit west final pick and Pittsburgh/Washington east final pick. Pens/'Hawks final.Okay, maybe it's looking a little wobbly but I'm not going to change horses until at least January.
Doug (Arkansas)
John Buccigross's pick of an LA/PHI final doesnt sound that farfetched anymore, does it?!
Scott Burnside (4:55 PM)
Doug; He is a wise man. I will give him that.
Ovi (DC)
How is my team looking so far?
Scott Burnside (4:56 PM)
Ovi; Hard to complain with how things are going for the Caps at this stage. Bruce Boudreau seems to have addressed much of what ailed the Caps in the post-season. At least so far.
Mike (chicago)
do you think that the Hurricanes will be better than a .500 team this year?
Scott Burnside (4:59 PM)
Mike; 'Canes are interesting as they'll have played an inordinant number of road games by the end of December which may give them a better shot at making up ground in the second half of the season. If they stay healthy I think they'll be just north of .500 but just south of a playoff berth. They may just have the rookie of the year, though, in Jeff Skinner.
Scott Burnside (5:00 PM)
Okay folks, thanks for coming out. Join us for Game of the Week tomorrow night (6:45 p.m. EST) and next week I'll be in Tampa checking in on the Lightning.

Bovard Stained Glass, Fairfield Iowa
Duration: 06:19
Program: Living in Iowa #614
Broadcast Date: Feb. 2, 1996
At a time when most people could not read stained glass windows were sometimes referred to as "Biblia pauperum", or the bible of the poor. The pictorial art found in stain glass windows was the literature of the poor and way of learning and keeping the scripture.
Today, even though most people know how to read, there is still demand for those who can create stain glass.
One of the biggest studios in the U.S. is in Fairfield, Iowa where windows have been created and refurbished for business and churches from Texas to Alaska and all the way from New York to Hawaii.
It's a craft that is at least a thousand years old and one that has changed very little over the centuries.

Agency unlikely to be able to issue all 741,000 credentials until 2017
The Veterans Affairs Department is nearly two years behind schedule in implementing secure credentials for employees and contractors under a governmentwide directive, according to a new report from the VA's Office of Inspector General.
To date, the VA has issued approximately 9 percent of the necessary credentials to its workforce, including contractors, under Homeland Security Presidential Directive-12 HSPD-12), Belinda Finn, assistant IG for audits and evaluations, wrote in the Sept. 30 report.
In comparison, federal agencies overall issued about 59 percent of their HSPD-12 credentials by the deadline. Also, the VA issued some of those credentials without the required background investigations, the report said.
DHS falls behind in issuing HSPD-12 ID cards, IG says
Handheld devices verify fed worker identity for HSPD-12
"VA is almost 2 years behind the governmentwide October 2008 deadline for full compliance with HSPD-12," she added.
Furthermore, VA also is unlikely to meet the VA chief of staff's October 2011 deadline and, if current issuance rates continue, probably will not issue all 741,000 credentials until 2017, Finn wrote.
Under the directive, federal agencies must issue personal identification cards that meet federal standards for access control and security.
In addition, the IG found that at the VA, the personality-identity verification program being used to support the credentialing does not meet all critical mission requirements, and controls needed to track and provide accountability over costs are week.
Finn blamed the VA's lack of progress on an ineffective management and failure to make the program a priority.
Although a Program Management Office for HSPD-12 has been in place at the VA since October 2009, the office lacks the resources and critical management tools necessary to direct and operate a departmentwide program, Finn wrote in the report.
The IG made two recommendations:
VA officials agreed with the findings and recommendations.

Two key IT modernization bills could move in Congress, despite the compressed legislative calendar and the politically charged election year.
CyTech Services, the veteran-owned small business that may have played a significant role in discovering the OPM hack a year ago, says it's never been paid for that work.
Although most agencies are on track to meet a presidential directive to archive email records electronically, a few will need more time.
Limiting the impact of open source policy to a time- and scope-constrained pilot forgoes a unique and long-needed opportunity to modernize government, argues a leading open source advocate.
Agencies can put more money on mission by analyzing accounts payable data. The former leader of the U.K.'s Government Procurement Service explains what it takes.
This year's winners were honored in person at the April 7 Fed 100 Awards Gala. Click here to learn more about their accomplishments.
With a handful of questions to industry, the Department of Veterans Affairs signaled a big move to the cloud as part of its "buy first" initiative.
Managing a workforce that oversees 7,000 contracts and $3.5 billion in federal spending, Mary Davie sits in the catbird seat of the government's vast IT acquisition operation.
Dan Chenok, the IBM Center for the Business of Government's executive director, seems to have a hand in virtually every discussion devoted to making government run better.
The VA needs to stop trying to bring new hires on board too quickly, and slow down until the subject they are trying to hire has fingerprints taken, and the subject's investigation has been "SCHEDULED" by OPM Investigative Division. All too often the VA yields more to titles and pleasing people which in turns leads to circumventing the system. Besides the VA is really large and does not have the necessary staff to handle the volume of incumbents that it receives. The VA lacks the staff, and up to date technology equipment, properly trained contractors & employees, and space in order to do a sufficient job as required. This reports seems not to take none of that into consideration and is very one side and lacks depth.
I agree with Tim. What good are these cards really? The whole concept is useless. Just another DoD inspired security paranoia gravy train for some contractors to spend millions of tax dollars on cards no one really uses and with no definable purpose. A solution looking for a problem indeed.
Outsource it to DoD, and put them all under DEERS. A lot of recent VA hires probably already have a presence in DSEERS anyway.
These issues aside, the whole thing is a solution in search of a problem. I have a CAC card but don't see any advantge to it. I still use my facility card for electronic access and it will be years or decades before electronic entry systems are replaced at tremendous expense to the taxpayer to recognize these cards through the VA, which is the 2nd largest Federal department.
Typical Gov't work... two years into a three year plan and they are two years behind.... two years of pay for nuttin!

Supervalu Begins Turnaround On Positive Note
Thursday April 24th, 2014 - 11:06AM
These are shortcuts to your favorite social networking and bookmark sites. Add this story to your Facebook page, del.icio.us, DiggIt, and many others!
In fiscal Q4, Supervalu generated net earnings from continuing operations of $40 million, or 15 cents per diluted share, it stated, including $8 million in after-tax net costs and charges primarily for employee severance and debt financing activities. In the same period last year, the retailer posted a loss of $174 million, or 82 cents per diluted share, including $149 million in after-tax costs and charges primarily for non-cash asset impairments and employee severance. When adjusted for the one-time items, 2014 fourth quarter net earnings from continuing operations were $48 million, or 18 cents per diluted share, the company reported.
The 18 cents per diluted share gain beat a Zacks Consensus Estimate of financial analysts by two cents.
Net loss from discontinued operations impacting the fourth quarter was $14 million, the company added.
Fourth quarter net sales were $3.95 billion versus $3.9 billion in the period last year, an increase of 1.4%, the company maintained. Identical store sales in the Save-A-Lot network gained 2.1%, while idents for corporate stores within the Save-A-Lot network advanced 3.5%, according to the company. Average idents in other Retail Food segment supermarkets increased 0.2%, it declared.
"Fiscal 2014 was an important transition year for Supervalu as we stabilized the organization and set the foundation for our future," said president and CEO Sam Duncan in announcing the results. "I am pleased with the direction of our business segments and look forward to the new fiscal year where we can focus our attention on driving sales growth across the organization."

Marks & Spencer reports 6.1% rise in pre-tax profits
Marks & Spencer has reported a 6.1% rise in underlying annual pre-tax profits to £661.2 million.
The rise in profits was driven by an "outstanding year" in food sales which M&S said had exceeded expectations in "a difficult market".
However, the group admitted general merchandise sales "did not meet expectations" despite claiming an improvement in style and quality.
Marc Bolland, the firm's chief executive, said: "We are transforming M&S into a stronger, more agile business – putting the right infrastructure, capabilities and talent in place to drive our strategic priorities."

Marks & Spencer like-for-like sales drop 5.8%
Like-for-like sales in Marks & Spencer's general merchandise division slumped 5.8% in the 13 weeks to December 27, the store has reported.
The store's worse-than-expected results were exacerbated by online delivery problems over the Christmas period.
M&S says its clothing sector performance was impacted by the unseasonal weather conditions in October and November.
M&S results finally start to reflect the boss' promises
You can forgive Marc Bolland for punching the air. He promised to revive the business and things spell "progress" albeit in a smallish font.Read the full story ›
Marks & Spencer's underlying profits up by 2.3%
Marks and Spencer has released its half-year results, revealing its underlying profit before tax has increased by 2.3% to £268 million .
The company blamed a warm September for a 2.3% and 1.6% fall in general merchandise sales and clothing sales respectively.
M&S reported a 1.3% increase in womenswear sales in the first five months of the year, saying it had received "increasingly positive customer feedback".
Marc Bolland, chief executive, said: "M&S delivered sales growth and increased profit in the first half despite a tough market, particularly in September.
"We are pleased with the progress we have made against our key priorities for the year: GM gross margin, improving Womenswear, driving Food growth and Cash generation."
The same old story at misfiring M&S
The high street giant's chief executive, Marc Bolland, still has some way to go to turn around the retailer's performance.Read the full story ›

Deceptively classy
123 Susuek Rd, Prachuap Kiri Khan T: (032) 601 288 F: (032) 603 322
From outside the Prachuap Beach Hotel bears a likeness to a decaying house all in white, but inside is a very different story.
A sleek modern reception area is made up of classy browns, and with some snazzy business cards ready for guests. The brightly coloured rooms are equally pleasing, boasting large beds and bathrooms, TV, fridge, free WiFi and big windows that make the most of the view, which stretches all the way to Khao Chong Krachok. This is a better deal than the ageing Hadthong Hotel a little further up the beach road, but you are a long walk from the night market (but there are plenty of local restaurants nearby).

Please ask the host for 'Center for Inquiry - Drinking Skeptically' if you're unable to locate our party. We will be in the downstairs area. Elevator access is available.
Drinking Skeptically is an informal social event designed to promote fellowship and networking among skeptics, critical-thinkers, and like-minded individuals. Drinking Skeptically provides an opportunity for skeptics to talk, share ideas (and yes, drink) in a casual, relaxed atmosphere. We discuss the issues of the day and whatever else is on our minds. But most of all, we have fun while promoting skepticism, science, and rationality.
Don't drink? Don't let that stop you from joining us! Some of the world's most famous skeptics are teetotalers, and we are happy to have you!
Remember that drinking skeptically means drinking responsibly. If there's one thing science has taught us, it's the effects of alcohol on the human body.
To learn more about Drinking Skeptically see www.drinkingskeptically.org.

Country Meadows Elementary School Principal Gary Goelz promoted to assistant superintendent of the M
Muskego — Country Meadows Elementary School Principal Gary Goelz has been promoted to assistant superintendent of the Muskego-Norway School District.
He succeeds Michelle Schwab who resigned in June to become superintendent of the Spooner Area School District.
Goelz was among more than 40 candidates who applied for the vacancy.
But many attributes set him apart from the other candidates, Superintendent Kelly Thompson said in an email interview.
"His commitment to continuous improvement and focus on student-data and growth in achievement" are all strengths he will bring to the position, she said.
As assistant superintendent, Goelz's responsibilities are attracting, developing and retaining high-impact teachers and integrating educator and principal effectiveness models into the system. And for that he is well-qualified, Thompson said.
Goelz has already developed and supports a highly-effective staff at Country Meadows, she said.
"He is a proven leader who achieves results, as evidenced by his most recent national recognition of Country Meadows being a Blue Ribbon School in fall 2013," Thompson said.
"We are incredibly excited about the opportunity to have Gary Goelz in a position of larger impact," she said. "He is a man of great integrity, focus and commitment."
"I'm very honored," Goelz said after the school board approved his appointment.
He has been Country Meadows principal for eight years and he called those "the best eight years."
But he is excited about his new responsibilities, he said.
"I'm looking forward to attracting the highest quality educators and working with the board," he said. He is committed to helping the schools continuously improve, he said.
School officials are already finding a new principal for Country Meadows. A second round of panel interviews was to happen this week. .
A recommendation for a new principal may come as early as the board's Monday, July 14, meeting, Thompson said.
As one of two assistant superintendents, Goelz will help oversee an administration that has undergone numerous reshuffles in recent years. The number of district administrators has not changed but the titles have.
As late as 2011, the district had a director of student learning and a curriculum coordinator, both administrative positions. Then the district went to a director of school performance with a director of student learning.
Now those two posts are gone and replaced by a director of secondary student learning who is Lisa Safago and a director of elementary student learning who is Dawn Marisch. The former director of pupil services is now director of student services and assessment and is Ted Gennerman. Similarly, the director of business services is now assistant superintendent for business, operations and human resources and is Julie Kelly.
The district also has a director of special education who is Kaari Olson, chief information officer Tony Spence who oversees the computer area, and Superintendent of Buildings and Grounds Jeremiah Johnson.

Jerusalem's largest bakery is making news. When one of their female employees is killed in a suicide bombing and her body remains unclaimed, they are accused of inhumanity and indifference.

On behest of the company, the Human Resources Manager embarks on a complex journey from Jerusalem to frozen Romania. He finds himself leading an awkward convoy that includes the dead woman's rebellious son, a pesky journalist, a quirky honorary consul, an elderly driver and a coffin. Far from home, the HR Manager rediscovers his own humanity and his ability to care for human resources. Based on a novel by A.B. Yehoshua, this quirky road movie from the director of The Syrian Bride (PSIFF 2005) nabbed five Israeli Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Director.
