For 20 years he dedicated himself to helping children. As the head of a special school, Paul Sunners was used to being hit, spat at and sworn at.
On occasion he had to resort to physical restraint when dealing with the most violent pupils. But he obeyed the rules and used only permitted techniques.
In 2008, when he and three colleagues were accused by another member of staff of assaulting pupils, Mr Sunners fiercely denied the claims — yet he was suspended while detectives looked into it.
When police dropped the investigation, he looked forward to returning to work. In fact, after the local council and the NSPCC undertook a second investigation, he was to face another three years of anxiety.
Only now can Mr Sunners talk about his ordeal, after the General Teaching Council ruled in his favour last month.
Not only did the regulator find that the assault charges were unfounded, but it ruled that his accuser was not a reliable witness and that the NSPCC report was "unsatisfactory".
Last night the 59-year-old married Quaker, now working as a supermarket delivery driver, said the allegations had a "profound" impact on him and his family.
"It's been a very difficult time," said Mr Sunners from the semi-detached cottage he shares with his wife Lynne, in the village of Chiseldon, Wilts.
"The allegations meant that I had to leave the job I had enjoyed for 16 years. I found it very difficult and felt very isolated. I had no support from the school or local authority and felt that from day one I was being treated as guilty.
"At the end of the day we all know allegations have got to be investigated. But equally things need to be managed in a fair and just way."
The case highlights the difficulties that teachers face when a complaint is made against them.
Dr Mary Bousted, the general secretary of the Association of Teachers and Lecturers, said: "Every year good heads, teachers and support staff stop working in education as a result of false allegations, to the detriment of children's education. School staff should not be presumed guilty until they are proven innocent."
Nyland School in Swindon, where Mr Sunners was head, taught boys and girls aged 5 to 11 who had been excluded from other schools.
The allegations in 2008 came from Martin Topping, a teaching assistant at the school, who accused the head of 13 assaults on pupils, each time allegedly breaking the guidelines which say that only "reasonable force" can be used.
On one occasion, when dealing with a pupil who had a history of violence, Mr Sunners was accused of holding the boy face down on the floor while another member of staff held the pupil's legs.
Another time, it was claimed that after being punched and spat at by a child, he pushed the pupil to the ground, injuring his head. In other confrontations, Mr Sunners was said to have pulled pupils' arms behind their backs in "unapproved holds".
Wiltshire Police carried out a six-month investigation before dropping the matter in April 2009. The NSPCC investigation, carried out by the children's charity at the request of Swindon council, continued until July that year. In total, eight members of staff were suspended, including Mr Sunners.
Meanwhile, the school suffered. Its "good" rating from Ofsted, awarded in 2006 while Mr Sunners was in charge, slumped at the next inspection in 2009, leaving the school in special measures. It has since been merged with other schools under a new name.
The NSPCC report was never made public, but it was used in disciplinary hearings. Of the eight employees suspended, three were dismissed for gross misconduct over the restraint allegations and four were allowed to return to work. None ever faced a criminal charge.
Mr Sunners resigned on the first day of a disciplinary hearing in November 2009. His case was referred to the GTC which has ruled in his favour following a four-day hearing.
In doing so it dismissed the evidence of the council's principle witness, Mr Topping, who was the only witness to most of the alleged assaults.
Another teaching assistant at the school had earlier told the panel that Mr Topping had a vendetta against Mr Sunners because Mr Topping's wife, who was the head teacher of another school in Swindon before she died of cancer in 2003, had fallen out with him.
The GTC panel found that even if Mr Sunners had used the restraint techniques that Mr Topping claimed he did, it was not clear they would have broken the rules.
The panel said in its report: "We were also concerned about Mr Topping's motivation for bringing matters to the attention of the police in October 2008 and felt that he was not an entirely independent and objective witness.
"Overall we did not feel that he was a witness upon whom we could place sufficient reliance to establish the truth of his accounts to us on the balance of probabilities."
The GTC found that Mr Sunners had failed to update or follow child protection, bullying and complaints policies and had not ensured staff were familiar with restraint rules. But it cleared him of any assaults and ruled that he could return to teaching immediately without facing disciplinary action.
Mr Sunners said he was relieved and looked forward to returning to teaching. "I'm very pleased with the GTC ruling. It's unfortunate that it took so long to clear my name," he said.
"Teachers are under enough pressures without the threat of being treated in such a heavy-handed way. But I'm just pleased to be able to get on with my life again."
Another of the suspended teachers, who cannot be named for legal reasons, said the episode had cast a "long, long shadow" over "a lot of very good teachers".
He said: "I loved the job. I had some of the best years of my life there but it's tough because you're teaching kids that say no. They say no in more than one way and that either means they throw punches at you, they lob tables at you, they shoot staple guns at you. It's not an easy job.
"But no one at the school thought there were any problems — other than Mr Topping. The police and the CPS said there was no case to answer. But the borough in their infinite wisdom knew better. They pulled an outside agency in and then started stirring up stuff and destroying people's lives."
Mr Topping, 63, who joined the school in 2004 and still works there, said he was "disappointed" with the GTC decision.
"The GTC said they questioned my motivation but that's ridiculous. The very fact that I made those allegations means I wanted [Mr Sunners] out of the school." he said.
"But it was for the right reasons. It was nothing to do with my wife. I believed that the way he was treating pupils, the way he intimidated and rough-handled them, was wrong.
"I stand by what I've said and I'm still glad I made the allegations. The school is a better place for him not working there."
Mr Sunners questioned the council's decision to bring in the NSPCC, calling the charity's final report "biased".
"I think local authorities should be careful with using independent investigation teams, such as the NSPCC — a child abuse charity — to carry out investigations into child abuse," he said.
"The NSPCC investigation and subsequent report seemed to me an exercise purely to assemble a case against the accused."
In its judgment, the GTC said: "We have grave concerns about the form of the NSPCC report which we find to be an unsatisfactory document. We do not feel able to rely on [it]."
The NSPCC defended its involvement. A spokesman said: "Any action against individual staff members was rightly a decision taken by their employer and the GTC, but we stand by the quality of our report and have had no complaints from the local authority who commissioned it.
"It's important that we focus on the real issue here: the welfare of the children involved.
"There were serious concerns which led to this investigation being commissioned, and it's important to remember that three members of staff from this school were dismissed over concerns about their conduct."
A spokesman for Swindon council said: "The council acted correctly in suspending staff at Nylands School following the very serious allegations that were made.
"The subsequent investigations, and the disciplinary hearings that followed on from them, were appropriate and necessary."
Government figures show that almost half of serious allegations of abuse made against teachers are not upheld.
A Department for Education spokesman said the new Education Act would give teachers the legal right to anonymity until they are charged with a criminal offence.


text: The 2004 Drama by Damien O'Donnell (''Film/EastIsEast'') tells the story of two young disabled men in Ireland claiming the dignity and independence everyone deserves. It stars Steven Robertson, Creator/JamesMcAvoy and Romola Garai.Michael Connolly (Robertson) is a young Dubliner with cerebral palsy, who lives in a Residential Home for the Disabled, when one day his boring and mundane life is turned upside down by the arrival of also wheel chair bound rebel Rory O' Shea ([=McAvoy=]). Michael realises that the foulmouthed and opinionated Rory can understand him despite his speech impediment and they become friends. They successfully apply for Independent Living Allowance, start living together in their own flat and hire the beautiful Siobhan as their caretaker. Difficulties arise when Michael starts falling in love with the girl.In the UK the film was released under the title ''Inside I'm dancing'' and received mixed reviews, which mostly criticised its predictability while the actor's performances were praised.----!!This movie contains examples of:* TheAlcoholic: Implied with Rory's father, though in Ireland it's hard to tell.* BaitAndSwitch: This little bit of dialogue from Rory and Siobhan--> '''Siobhan:''' Were you born like this?--> '''Rory:''' Like what?--> '''Siobhan:''' Dodgy hair and shit taste in music.* BitchAlert: Eileen, "we don't give out front door keys", "we don't allow coarse language here".* BittersweetEnding: Prepare your tissues.* BumblingDad: Rory's dad, who has him in care homes simply because he's unable to cope.%%* BuryYourDisabled: Type 1. * CantSpitItOut: Michael. Literally.* ConvenientSlowDance: Michael tries to pull this trope. It doesn't go as he expects. * ClusterFBomb: Rory.* DaddyHadAGoodReasonForAbandoningYou: Played with. Both Michael and Rory are in care homes despite having their fathers still around. Rory's is an alcoholic and unable to cope with looking after his son. Michael's is a politician - and is likely too busy to take care of him. * ADateWithRosiePalms: Michael gets one when Siobhan gives him a sponge bath. Put bluntly by Rory--> "Did you get a hard on?"* DecoyProtagonist: The American title would suggest Rory is the main character. He isn't.* DialogueReversal: In one of the most tearjerking and heartwarming ways:--> '''Rory:''' [[spoiler: While dying in hospital]] Rory O'Shea was here.--> '''Michael:''' (''pointing to his heart'') Rory O'Shea is here.* DisabledLoveInterest: [[spoiler: Subverted. Michael hopes that he would become this to Siobhan, but she doesn't reciprocate his feelings.]]* DisabledSnarker: Rory.* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: The care home seems to be a combination metaphor of a strict boarding school and a prison.* ExpositoryHairstyleChange: Michael starts to style his hair once he leaves the care home.* {{Foreshadowing}}: The ending throughout the movie.* GeniusBonus: People who are familiar with Duchenne muscular dystrophy will see the [[TearJerker birthday scene]] in a different light.* HandicappedBadass: Not physically, but Rory does have a very sharp tongue. He also does attempt to get into a bar fight early on in the movie.* HospitalHottie: Siobhan dons a nurse costume for a party.* HopelessSuitor: Michael to Siobhan. Rory as well to a much more limited extent - they just flirt a little.* IJustWantToBeFree: Rory doesn't want to live in the residential home anymore, which he often compares to a prison. On a less literal level it also ties in with the below.* IJustWantToBeNormal: Both protagonists. Rory even more so. * ImprobableHairstyle: Rory arrives at the care home with an impressive head of intricate spikes - quite a feat for a guy that can only move his index finger. But subverted when he gets a bath and the nurses refuse to spike it for him. Notably when he gets Michael to do it, it's a less elaborate style.* InspirationallyDisadvantaged: Subverted. Michael is a borderline DeadpanSnarker and has a sneaky sense of humour. Most notably when trying to convince the council to let him live outside the care home, he just paraphrases their pamphlet. * LetsJustBeFriends: [[spoiler: Michael and Siobhan remain on good terms after Rory's death]].* LoveTriangle: [[spoiler: Defied.]]* MissingMom: Michael's mother is dead and Rory's isn't around.* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Rory during his "that's what I call a gift" speech.* ParentalAbandonment: Michael's father doesn't acknowledge his handicapped son. Until he faces him with his new friend and ne self-confidence that is.* PositiveDiscrimination: Deconstructed.* RagingStiffie: Michael gets one while Siobhan is washing him.* SirSwearsALot: Rory again.* SpikyHair: Rory's style of hair and clothing immediately sets him apart from the other inhabitants of the Home.* TitleDrop: Played with since ''Inside I'm Dancing'' is the original title. The American title was likely taken from the quote from Rory.* UptightLovesWild: A non-romantic version with Rory and Michael's friendship.* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotSymbolic: The first time we see Rory he's being loaded out of the van doors which have a very cagelike appearance.* YouAreTooLate: [[spoiler: Rory doesn't live to learn that Michael has gained him his Independent Living Allowance.]]

Friends, it's Sunday night again. Warm up the tubes for another 4 hours of classic radio Americana.
Listen Live
*tonight's show will be available at the "Info" link starting tomorrow.
Hi All, I'm not much of a fan of Life of Riley and Our Miss Brooks, but otherwise an ok lineup...more Sherlock Holmes...
This isn't exactly on topic etc BUT
Have heard several people 'complain' that the only TV/cable that you can find "Blazing Saddles" on has the 'LANGUAGE' etc bleeped or 'cleaned up'.
This morning, IFC ran "Blazing Saddles" uncut, so called inappropriate 'words' and references remained in tact.
Only draw back is it does run commercials..
Oh, it is set to be run again 5/18 0730 on IFC and would imagine same 'format' to be used.
Unless, of course, the PC Police 'get to them'.
It's disgusting.
FWIW, Petri, or at least the TM, is owned by Franzia, maker of those 5L box wines...

Hey Gina, how's things? Bermuda was amazing...
All's well here, Vision. I'm glad your ship didn't get swallowed in the Triangle! :-) Glad to know you had a great time.
Howdy, Viking! I'm glad to see you.
Is all well with you and Mrs. Viking?
Vision, do you know the title/artist of Ed's opening theme song? We heard it this past week, I think it was on the 1920s Radio Network feed, but it was cool hearing the whole song. I know I could e-mail Mr. Walker and find out.
Hey, where have you been? Where are you living now?
Nope I don't know what it is, if you find out let me know. On another note, didn't you identify Lux's theme a few weeks ago?
Bob was the best. I have a hard time placing that voice with that picture for some reason.
One photo has already disappeared. We'll see if the other one stays.
The other picture went away, him with with a mic. I agree that Johnny Dollar does not match that face.
You're right—Bob Bailey is the best Johnny Dollar. Here's that other picture that went away: http://vint-rad.blogspot.com/2012/02/yours-truly-johnny-dollar.html
Life of Riley...so annoying...
I don't like "Life of Riley" much, either.
Where they too cheap to get a real little girl actress? The voice is awful.
Yeah, it's a pretty bad "little girl" voice. I remember Ed playing this one last Mother's Day.
It's a shame they would use such a cheap voice when using talent like Ladd.
Box 13 Rocks. Alan Ladd is da bomb! We love it, even though this was a re-run from last year.
Orson Welles as Sherlock Holmes? I don't know...why reinvent the wheel...
I'm heading to the radio Gina...good talking with you...have a great week.
Yeah, the story is fine, but we're with you. Orson Welles is so-so as Holmes. He apparently has not read all of Conan-Doyle's works, or he would know that Holmes never said, "Elementary, my dear Watson." It's just like the Casablanca misquote of "Play it again, Sam." Bogart didn't say that. He just said, "Play it."
Goodnight, Vision. See you next week, Lord willing.

Dunlap, William
William Dunlap (dŭn´lăp), 1766–1839, American dramatist and theatrical manager, b. Perth Amboy, N.J. Inspired by the success of The Contrast by Royall Tyler, he began to write plays for the American Company (see Hallam, Lewis). His second comedy, The Father; or, American Shandyism, produced in 1789, was his first success. Later plays of his are excellent examples of the Gothic romance school. André (1798), a tragedy based on an actual occurrence in the Revolution, was the first native play on American material. He was a partner in the American Company (1796–97) and he later was manager of the Park Theatre, New York City (1798–1805). Dunlap was a founder and secretary of the National Academy of Design. His History of the American Theatre (1832) and History of the Rise and Progress of the Arts of Design in the United States (1834) are invaluable source books and contain important autobiographical material. Dunlap's diary was edited by D. C. Barck in 1930.
See biographies by O. S. Coad (1917, repr. 1962) and R. H. Canary (1970).

Nice tool.....handy

This is awesome for finding angles for cuts on wood. It took a few minutes to figure out how to use it and where to place the flat edges to find angles but once I did finding the measurement was a breeze. Great product for folks that need to make precise angled cuts in wood or metal projects.
Works Great

Coastal birds understand tides and the moon's phases
May 4, 2016 07:28 AM - CENTRAL ORNITHOLOGY PUBLICATION OFFICE via EurekAlert
Coastal wading birds shape their lives around the tides, and new research in The Auk: Ornithological Advances shows that different species respond differently to shifting patterns of high and low water according to their size and daily schedules, even following prey cycles tied to the phases of the moon.
Many birds rely on the shallow water of the intertidal zone for foraging, but this habitat appears and disappears as the tide ebbs and flows, with patterns that go through monthly cycles of strong "spring" and weak "neap" tides. Leonardo Calle of Montana State University (formerly Florida Atlantic University) and his colleagues wanted to assess how wading birds respond to these changes, because different species face different constraints--longer-legged birds can forage in deeper water than those with shorter legs, and birds that are only active during the day have different needs than those that will forage day or night.

It is not only the prisoners who grow coarse and hardened from corporeal punishment, but those as well who perpetrate the act or are present to witness it.Anton Pavlovich Chekhov
Disgrace does not consist in the punishment, but in the crime.Mohamed Abdel Moneim Fayed
If the divorced are remarried civilly, they find themselves in a situation that objectively contravenes God's law. Consequently, they cannot receive Holy Communion as long as this situation persists. This norm is not at all a punishment or a discrimination against the divorced and remarried, but rather expresses an objective situation that of itself renders impossible the reception of Holy Communion: '. . . If these people were admitted to the Eucharist, the faithful would be led into error and confusion regarding the Church's teaching about the indissolubility of marriage'.Pope Benedict XVI
No people anywhere in the world would accept being expelled en masse from their own country; how can anyone require the people of Palestine to accept a punishment which nobody else would tolerate?Bertrand Russell
Guide the people by law, subdue them by punishment; they may shun crime, but will be void of shame. Guide them by example, subdue them by courtesy; they will learn shame, and come to be good.Confucius
The first and greatest punishment of the sinner is the conscience of sin.Lucius Annaeus Seneca
Punishment is justice for the unjust.Saint Augustine
Vices are their own punishment.Aesop
Verily your deeds will be brought back to you, as if you yourself were the creator of your own punishment.Muhammad
Happiness is not a reward / it is a consequence. Suffering is not a punishment / it is a result.Robert Green Ingersoll
The whole value of solitude depends upon one's self; it may be a sanctuary or a prison, a haven of repose or a place of punishment, a heaven or a hell, as we ourselves make it.John Lubbock
All in all, punishment hardens and renders people more insensible; it concentrates; it increases the feeling of estrangement; it strengthens the power of resistance.Friedrich Nietzsche
Justice that love gives is a surrender, justice that law gives is a punishment.Mahatma Gandhi
To take upon oneself not punishment, but guilt - that alone would be godlike.Friedrich Nietzsche

This 'Devil's Duo' has made great strides toward destroying this Grand Nation and …for which it stands.. I believe the hunger for power is Hillary's primary motivation and she'd traded her soul to the devil….Obama 'just can't help himself' & regularly let's his ignorance hang out for all to see in attempt to mask true intent…..IT IS ALL OF HIS APPOINTEES & their blind obedience that makes us look like a toothless tiger. In 2014, I intend to ask every candidate 2 questions 1) Do you know & understand the Constitution? 2) What does 'service' mean to you?
ZM, you certainly pegged the military 'reduction' !

runningwild says every time i see the word design i cringe .. but this is marvellous .. very intriguing, liveable little things, taking great care even of tiny creatures in the environment, attention to detail likeable and desirable little crannies and nooks and places, only criticism (and i am slamming everyone else on this site about architecture so it is unusual for me not to demolish architectural portfolios ) more use of curves and more use of transparency .. how about bamboo curved poles and perspex and more green house sort of looks.. this is a very feminine portfolio

Damphousse: Kelly victim of 'paranoia'
Updated: September 1, 2009, 3:22 PM ETAssociated Press
MONTREAL -- Former NHL star and union executive Vincent Damphousse says the next leader of the NHL Players' Association must be free to make decisions without the fear of being fired.
In an interview with The Canadian Press on Tuesday, Damphousse said Paul Kelly, who was fired by the association's executive board on Monday, was victim of "a kind of paranoia in the group."
Damphousse, who played in Edmonton, Montreal and Toronto, worked for the association as director of business affairs. ...

JOHNSON, R.: Lute Music (North)
JOHNSON, R.: Lute Music (North)9.80540
Published Review (by James Manheim, Allmusic.com): Composer Robert Johnson was part of the circle of Shakespeare and Ben Jonson at the beginning of the 17th century. Little of his music has survived; this release by British-American lutenist Nigel North includes most of what did. Johnson's music was probably used in Shakespeare's plays, and this album may be of interest to theatrical producers for that reason... Read more

Choral Music (18th Century) - NEBRA, J. / COURCELLE, F. (Madrid 1752 - Sacred Music from the Royal Chapel) (Wilkins)DOR-93237
User's Review: Not to be missed! This is very fine music by two Spanish composers, Francisco Courcelle and Jose de Nebra, neither of which I had even heard of before this. Not being a musician, myself, I usually shy clear of posting reviews. However, the sheer quality of this music compels me to write one this time. This is high baroque choral/orchestral music of the most exalted order... Read more

LEE, A.M.: 5 Refractions of a Prelude by Bach / the dark out of the nighttime / Scordatura Suite (Gravity and Air) (A. Lee)NWAM013
User's Review: A very original album! Andrew Mckenna Lee shows off his versatility as a composer and guitarist in a great way with this album. His previous album Solar Electric was more of an alternative/progressive approach to composition. Done in a masterful way I might add. In this album he does 6 Bach Preludes, played very cleanly with a guitar that must have incredible tonal characteristics in person. The ability to play properly and soulfully is most important...

User's Review: Lost treasures The Norwegian composer Ludvig Irgens Jensen have produced some of the greatest music pieces of all time. Amongst his admirers we find such great musical profiles as Toscanini and Stravinsky. For some reason Jensen's music has been hidden and forgotten for many years, but now we see that several of the great orchestras in the world is beginning to pick up his music again... Read more

User's Review: Beyond the "Alberti Bass" Domenico Alberti lent his name to the famous Alberti Bass, a pattern of arpeggiated bass accompaniment that became ubiquitous in the Classical era. Though he likely did not "invent" this bass figure, Alberti was apparently the first to make such ample use of it in his compositions for harpsichord... Read more

Faith, Innovation, and Cello Beat Boxing - An Interview with Kevin Olusola of Pentatonix
A capella pop act Pentatonix is poised to make an impact, and beat boxer Kevin Olusola has a lot to say about it. We talk to Kevin about their success, his beliefs, and what it is like to play cello and beat box at the same time.
How did you start playing cello and beat boxing at the same time?
I started in Beijing, China. In the summer of 2008 I was studying Chinese all day and during my rest breaks I would play the cello. I randomly had the idea and thought "why not?" We actually had a talent show and I tried it out there just a little bit and all the Chinese kids were like "WHOA! What are you doing??" So I kept developing it just for fun, not thinking that anything would come out of it. The video that you saw, I was actually nominated for a senior prize at Yale and the board members wanted to see some of my work. That cello beat boxing piece I had worked on for about a year so I decided to put it up for the competition. My friend who filmed it said I should probably put it up on youtube, and I was like "eh, this is not the kind of thing that gets big on Youtube" and he said "just try it and see what happens." All of a sudden it went viral and praise God, from that the next six months were set in stone by going out to tour with Gungor on the David Crowder Band's last tour, and then Pentatonix.
Does it help you with your art to be performing as a beat boxer and a cello player at the same time? How does that shape you as a musician?
Absolutely. I think being part of Pentatonix has helped my arrangement style a lot, and that's helped me expand myself. Plus, the one thing I try to do is singing through the way I play the cello. When I play the cello I'm a singer, and the medium just happens to be the cello, so I think being part of Pentatonix has really helped that. I was actually going to go to a conservatory after I graduated college, now I'm thankful that Pentatonix happened because I'm working with singers in this realm of mainstream music, and to learn about how all that comes together has really helped my cello playing. From the cello side to the beat boxing, that has definitely translated because I think about my beat boxing in a very musical way rather than just kind of doing "booms" and "kahs." I try to really think about phrasing and dynamics and all the things that go into making the cello music innovative and interesting. That all translates into what I do with beat boxing.

Over at The Wall Street Journal (and CNN/Money), we see that talk is drifting to potential changes within the Dow Jones industrial average. Recall that the Dow consists of just 30 stocks, chosen by the editors of the Journal. And, to make the index even stranger, the stocks are weighted based on share price, rather than market heft.
The components tend to change infrequently, and usually only when there is a market shakeup that demands change. Well, we now have two: Hewlett-Packard Co. is on the verge of a reorganization that has not only pummelled the stock but also threatens to make it unreflective of a cutting-edge technology company.
And then there is Bank of America Corp. , down more than 6 per cent on Monday and looking less and less blue-chip all the time. Since Bank of America was added to the Dow in early 2008, the bank stock has fallen a total of 83 per cent.
Still, there's no arguing with success – and as we've pointed out in this space before, the Dow has been doing very well in recent years. Over the past 12 months, it as gained a total (after factoring in dividends) of 9.3 per cent, against 7.2 per cent in the case of the broader S&P 500. Over the past two years, it has been the S&P 500 by 20.6 per cent to 14.2 per cent. And over the past decade, to the end of July, it has returned 47.3 per cent against the S&P 500's 29.4 per cent return.Report Typo/Error

Firstwatch Buoyancy
Thank you very much for the excellent review of the Firstwatch Flotation Bomber and Coat (PS, January 2013). I apologize that I did not provide Practical Sailor the design buoyancy of our coats. I provided the 15.5-pounds minimum buoyancy requirement of the USCG Type III standard, but the Firstwatch coats� actual production buoyancy ranges from 16 pounds (size small) to 20 pounds (size XXL).

I'm Your Puppet - Recap
<-- Previous Episode
Next Episode -->
The episode begins with Aria, Hanna, and Emily paying Spencer a visit at the sanitarium. Emily tells Spencer that a body was found in the woods, but it wasn't Toby's. Despite hearing this, Spencer insists that she saw Toby's body. Spencer then tells the girls that she wants to stay for some more time because she feels safe. The next morning, Emily tries to get more information out of her mother about the body found in the woods, and she says she will look into it and tell her later. Aria and Ezra are at the café together. Aria is a bit hesitant to be seen with Ezra, because he has applied for the teaching job. Maggie calls and asks Ezra to pick up Malcolm from a karate lesson. Ezra has the job interview, so he requests Aria to pick him up, but she is reluctant after what happened last time. In the end, he convinces her and says he will deal with Maggie.
At school, Emily tells Aria that the coroner's report doesn't mention the name of the victim. Aria says that Spencer won't willingly leave the sanitarium, unless it's proven to her that the body is not Toby's. Emily suggests they visit the morgue to confirm things. At the sanitarium, when Wren arrives, Eddy brings Spencer a game. Wren, on seeing the game, asks her who chose it. After finding out, Wren mentions that this was the same game Mona was obsessed with when she was here.
Ella calls Hanna into her classroom and mentions that there has been a misunderstanding. She explains that on Ashley's recommendation, Caleb's father was handed the responsibility of the church renovations. As part of the renovations, he has removed the church bell for repairs. It was made of bronze, and worth $8000. It has now been discovered that the bell he returned in its place, isn't the same one. At the sanitarium, Spencer discovers that Mona drew a map of the facility on the game. She uses it find her way around the place and it leads her to a window that's unlocked. Spencer's mother arrives to pick her up, but Spencer tells her she isn't ready to leave yet. They get into an argument, and Spencer lashes out at her mother in anger. Spencer then begins to cry and her mother tries calming her down. She insists that Spencer tell her what happened between her and Toby. She says the last time Spencer was holding on to a secret this hard, it was about Ali, and she was found dead a week later.
The scene then flashes back and her mother recollects how she was standing in the kitchen and saw Ali walk in the back door. She asked Ali what she was up to because it was 3 am and she was supposed to be sleeping in Spencer's room. Ali told her she had gone home for a bit, and she noticed Ali was crying and bleeding from her mouth. Ali begged her to not tell anyone about it, and said she didn't want to discuss the matter. Back in the present, Spencer is shocked to hear all this and asks her why she didn't tell the cops. She says she was worried Jason might hurt her and their family, but now she knows Jason is innocent. She is now wondering if Toby was behind all this.
Hanna is out to dinner with Caleb and Jamie, when Jamie presents her with an expensive necklace. He gets a call from Pastor Ted, who says he has been fired because he hung the wrong bell. Jamie says he plans to go down to the foundry to clear things up. Aria, Hanna, and Emily later arrive at the morgue. Aria stands watch outside while the other two open the body bag. Aria sees the girl in the red coat walking in. On opening the body bag, the girls see an "A" mask on the face of the dead body. Aria comes in and tells them they have to leave, and they rush out of there.
At the sanitarium, Eddie walks in to give Spencer her medication. She mentions that she noticed there was some friction between him and Wren. Eddie doesn't say much. He says that the moment he saw Wren, he knew he was there for the wrong reasons. After Eddie walks out, Spencer spits out the pills she was given, and hides them in her pillowcase. Hanna tells Caleb that she knows his father stole from the church collection box, and mentions the bill with the lucky dice on it. Aria arrives at Malcolm's karate class, and is informed that he has already been picked up by someone using Aria's name. She is shocked to hear this and, on her way out, she sees a flyer with "A" circled on it. Next it's shown that Malcolm is at a circus with the hooded figure. Aria arrives at the circus and runs after them. She eventually loses them when they duck into a tent.
At Hanna's house, Caleb confronts Jamie about what Hanna has told him, and he takes offense at the suggestion. They get into a heated argument, and Caleb brings up how he was never there for him as a father. Aria calls up Emily and tells her everything. Emily suggests she go to the cops and, just then, Aria notices a tent with a puppet show sign and goes in. Inside, she sees Malcolm sitting by himself. He tells her that her friend, Alison, picked him up. Emily arrives at the station, assuming Aria would be there, but she receives a text from her that Malcolm has been found. She then runs into her mother, who says she has to stay late at work. She notices that her mother is carrying a Missing Person's file. At the sanitarium, Spencer is walking around the premises, when she runs into Ali. Ali says it wasn't Toby who gave her the bloody lip and mentions that girls fight dirtier than boys. Ali then points her to a room with toys in it. In the room, Spencer walks up to a rocking horse and removes its head. Inside, she finds a badge with Mona's photo and the name Ali Dee on it. She also finds a guest pass with CeCe's name. Wren walks in and asks him how many times Cece paid Mona a visit. He says he nearly got fired for letting CeCe in, because Mona was on the restricted patients list. He adds it was from Melissa that CeCe found out Mona was at the sanitarium.
At the café, Ezra tells Aria that Malcolm really enjoyed his time with her, and she is his new hero. Aria isn't very happy though and, after telling Ezra she can't do this anymore, she leaves. Emily's mother tells her the body that was found was of a young man in his 20s, and they will ID it tomorrow morning. Hanna is trying to cheer Caleb up, when the church bell is heard ringing. At that very moment Hanna gets a text from "A": "Hear that? It's the sound of your mistake. When you want the bell back, gimme a ring!" Caleb sees the message. Hanna later tells Aria about the text, and they realize "A" is framing Caleb's father. Emily arrives and tells them about the body. She says it was found in a shallow grave, at the very spot that Spencer had mentioned. Spencer's purse was also found there.
At the hospital, while Spencer is turning in for the night, she is shown picking up a black hooded shirt and tickets to the circus. Spencer seems to have an internal conversation with Mona, where she tells Mona she is in. Next, a body is brought into the morgue covered with a sheet. The sheet shifts slightly and reveals a dirty and bruised body, with Toby's tattoo on it. The episode ends at this point.

"The long wars in Afghanistan and Iraq have sparked renewed debate about foreign policy within both political parties. William Kristol recently said that while Republicans generally agree on domestic policy, the real debate would be on foreign policy. Likewise, in the Democratic party, the more hawkish Clinton wing of the party continues its clash with the more dovish McGovernite wing. To focus on these differences, The George Washington University in Washington, D.C. and The Independent Institute in Oakland, California are hosting a debate among the various foreign policy traditions.

Postgame links, observations from Oklahoma's 16-7
win over West Virginia to open Big 12 play
NORMAN — Oklahoma improved to 2-0 this season with its 16-7 home win Saturday over West Virginia to open Big 12 Conference play.
Here's a look at our coverage for The Oklahoman and NewsOK.com, followed by a few quick thoughts:
* My game story: This time the defense bailed out the Sooners against West Virginia
* Berry Tramel's column: Time to find out what Blake Bell can do
* From Ryan Aber: Sooners turn to Brennan Clay, Damien Williams after passing game falters
* Our OU notebook, with items on senior cornerback Aaron Colvin, Trey Franks' special-teams heroics and 2014 quarterback commitment Justice Hansen.
* Three questions with senior center Gabe Ikard
* What they're saying about Saturday's game
* OU-West Virginia by the numbers
* Berry Tramel's OU report card
Other random thoughts, notes and observations:
* Last November, Jonathan Kimble — the West Virginia Mountaineer mascot — gave our Oklahoman crew a tour of Morgantown. Saturday morning, Berry Tramel and I returned the favor and showed him around Norman.
We drove by Barry Switzer's house; Switzer was standing outside, so we pulled up and chatted with him for a while. Then we took Jonathan by the West Virginia RVs parked at the Lloyd Noble Center.
* I'm usually a traditionalist when it comes to uniforms, but I thought West Virginia's white helmets were slick.
* As West Virginia's players came down the tunnel for the first time during pregame, they and some Sooners started jawing at each other. For a second, it looked like there might be a problem, but the whole thing broke up fairly quickly.
* This sloppy game got off to a pretty sloppy start. On West Virginia's game-opening drive, the Mountaineers picked up 24 yards on a pass from Paul Millard to running back Charles Sims. OU called a timeout. Then the teams returned to the field and West Virginia called a timeout.
* The Mountaineers handled time management pretty poorly all night. They were completely out of second-half timeouts with 4:32 left in the third quarter.
* Nila Kasitati started again at right guard, and Bronson Irwin again didn't get on the field until the second quarter. Strange.
* The errant snap from Gabe Ikard to Trevor Knight on the second play of OU's first drive sent Knight back to the 1-yard line, where he tried to throw the ball away. I think I understand what he was trying to do, but wouldn't just going down with the ball yielded the same result without the risk? Knight was flagged for intentional grounding, with the ball placed at the spot of the foul.
* Brennan Clay gained 33 yards on the next play — a third-and-19 from the Sooners' own 1-yard line — the first of several impressive runs from the senior Saturday night.
* OU's opening drive stalled out, though, after Clay's big run.
* West Virginia's Dreamius Smith broke Corey Nelson and Gabe Lynn tackles, then outran the OU defense on a 75-yard touchdown that elicited memories of last year's shootout. That play would be the only thing remotely similar to the 50-49 track meet in Morgantown last November.
As bad as that play was, though, Nelson and Lynn each ended with really good nights.
* That play felt like one Oklahoma's defense might have struggled to recover from a year ago.
"We did put it behind us after a couple of plays," Nelson said. "It was disappointing and it shouldn't have happened, but we still put it behind us."
* A Nick Hodgson kickoff failed to fly through the end zone for the first time this season early in the second quarter. All seven kickoffs last week against ULM were un-returnable, and both of his first-quarter kickoffs Saturday were through the end zone.
* Junior offensive tackle Tyrus Thompson was called for three penalties within the first 21 minutes of Saturday's game — two false starts and an illegal formation infraction. Thompson would later leave the game with an apparent ankle injury.
* If Thompson is unable to go next week, that'd obviously be a huge loss for the Sooners' offensive line. The unit is pretty deep at the guard and center positions, but still relatively thin at tackle.
* I've gotta believe OU coaches wouldn't have sent Blake Bell into the game in the fourth quarter if they didn't intend to start him against Tulsa next week.
* Bob Stoops said they originally intended to let Blake Bell throw the ball around some in the fourth quarter.
"We were going to but then the situation dictated it with where we got the ball and then we get the first down running it," Stoops said. "I mean, why? At that point in the game, the clock is the enemy. You don't mess with as they say the football gods. You do what you're supposed to do and burn the clock so that if they do get it they have minimal time to get the chance."
Bell ended up attempting only one pass, a screen that was dropped by Brennan Clay.
* Speaking of Clay, he had a heck of a night. He rushed for a career-high 170 yards, including several long, impressive runs.
* He and Damien Williams were both outstanding. Williams rushed for 96 yards. Those two are really living up to the high expectations people had for them in the preseason.
* Punter Jed Barnett and place kicker Michael Hunnicutt each had strong nights. Barnett averaged 44.6 yards on his five punts, and Hunnicutt hit 3 of 4 field-goal attempts. He missed his last one — a 35-yard try with about a minute left in the game.
* If Oklahoma loses Aaron Colvin for a significant amount of time, that would really, really hurt in a secondary unit that's played very well through two games. Bob Stoops said he didn't have an update on Colvin's status.
"That was scary," Mike Stoops said. "You're taking virtually one of our best players against a team that can throw the ball. That made it hard. It was scary. We miss him. We miss his leadership. We miss he presence."
* Oklahoma came out a few times in a two-tight pistol set, with fullbacks Trey Millard and Aaron Ripkowski lined up as the tight ends. I thought that was interesting.

Workers were notified that the global tire manufacturer had moved up its timetable to shut the doors of the Union City plant at the beginning of their shifts, according to Goodyear Union City Communications Manager Clint Smith.
The company announced its intentions to close the Union City plant in February, informing the 1,900 employees at the time that the facility would be shut down by the end of the year.
"When (Goodyear) made the announcement, (they said we would close) by the end of the year. They did not give a specific date," said Smith, who said a variety of factors allowed the company to shut its doors just five months to the day after the initial announcement.
Smith said those factors included customer requirements and the ability of other Goodyear plants to build the tires formerly created in the West Tennessee plant. Goodyear was able to meet the needs of its tire customers without the use of the Union City facility in a shorter amount of time than first anticipated by company officials.
The 1,800 workers still employed at the Union City plant learned of the closing date as they arrived at work at the beginning of their shift. The first group informed were employees arriving to work third shift at 11 p.m., on Sunday, July 10. First shift workers were informed at 7 a.m., on Monday, July 11.
"Employees were told when they reported to work that production had ceased," said Smith. "They were allowed to get any personal items they had and then they left the plant. (The other shifts will be) told as they come into work."
In accordance with the WARN Act, employees affected by the closing will be paid as if they had worked for the next 60 days.
"While Goodyear's move to end production at its facility in Union City was not unexpected, it is a tragic loss for all the hardworking employees and surrounding communities," said Congressman Stephen Fincher, in a press release issued just after the Goodyear announcement. "Our economy has been through trying times and Goodyear's announcement to shutter its plants doors certainly does not ease the pain. I have spent much time meeting with people throughout the community and I am confident that its roots are strong and we will rebuild better than before."
