The single most important thing you can do to have a successful Walt Disney World trip with preschoolers is to have a plan and then be willing to deviate from it. When the kids get hot, tired, or over-stimulated, slow down the pace of your touring, have a snack, or take a break in your hotel room.
Walt Disney World ticket holders may take advantage of FASTPASS+, a means of bypassing the standby line for a much shorter FASTPASS+ queue. Using FASTPASS+ can dramatically decrease the time you spend in line and increase the number of attractions your family will enjoy.
It's important to know that crowds are lighter when the parks first open, and during the warmer times of the year the weather is more hospitable early in the day. Get an early start to minimize the amount of time you spend on lines. When the crowds become heavier and the weather warmer, take a break and return to your hotel for a swim and a nap.
Visiting Disney World is not like a typical day at your park or local zoo. Chances are you'll be out of your hotel room for hours at a time and your family will put in mile after mile at the theme park and at your resort. Even the most energetic four- or five-year old who would never consider sitting in a stroller at home will likely be asking for one by mid-day.
With the many table-service restaurants in Walt Disney World, it's difficult to imagine not getting a seat at the restaurant of your choice. However, this routinely happens with the large crowds visiting the resort. It is best to make your ADRs, guaranteeing a table, well in advance of your trip by calling 407-WDW-DINE.
Preschoolers are a funny bunch. They sometimes have difficulty communicating a fear or just plain discomfort with a ride or situation. If they resist a particular attraction, don't force the issue; it's easier to find a ride they do enjoy than having to coax them on future rides if they have a "bad" experience.
Advance Dining Reservations (ADRs) can be made for this extremely popular counter-service lunch beginning February 25, 2015. Call (407) WDW-DINE or make reservations online at My Disney Experience.

How BYU's 2012 football opponents fared: Week 12
In college football, winning isn't the only factor. Who you beat, and how, is a vital part of moving up the rankings and getting into a good bowl game. So each week during the 2012 season, we'll take a look at how BYU's past and future opponents performed.
BYU's 2012 schedule Aug. 30: Washington State, W, 30-6 Sept. 8: Weber State, W, 45-13 Sept. 15: at Utah, L, 24-21 Sept. 20: at Boise State, L, 7-6 Sept. 28: Hawaii, W, 47-0 Oct. 5: Utah State, W, 6-3 Oct. 13: Oregon State, L, 42-24 Oct. 20: at Notre Dame, L, 17-14 Oct. 27: at Georgia Tech, W, 41-17 Nov. 10: Idaho, W, 52-13 Nov. 17: at San Jose State, L, 20-14 Nov. 24: at New Mexico St., 1:30 p.m.

It is being reported on ESPN that along with SDSU and Boise State, BYU is in
talks with the Mountain West Conference! If all three rejoin, and they can
convince LA Tech to come in as the 14th, that would be a pretty good
We're getting the band back together! YEAH. With as weak as the leftover Big East would be, maybe the MWC could get an AQ BCS game.

I guess the highest ranked team in the five conferences (Big East, C-USA, MAC,
Sun Belt, and MWC) gets the AQ BCS game according to ESPN.
I know I am going to have a bunch of BYU fans yell me down, but I think it would be great for BYU to rejoin the MWC. They could have the last game of the year against USU for the Wagon Wheel and have a bunch of other entertaining games instead of the fillers they had to do with independence. That conference could probably get a good TV deal, too.
I still think BYU's best move is to join the Big 12, but according to some sources like Bolerjack, they basically were invited in that the Big 12 started talking with them, and BYU basically turned it down by asking for their own TV deal, so the MWC is the next best thing--FAR better than independence.

According to a source, former USC Trojan Maurice Jones is scheduled to visit Iowa State next week. As far as I know, Iowa State has not extended an offer.
Jones, a 5-foot-7 point guard, averaged 13 points and 5.5 assists per game last season. He was recently ruled academically ineligible for the 2012-13 season.
This one seems to be pretty up in the air. No imminent offer or anything like that.
According to research I've done, Jones currently has an offer from Detroit but I can't any other schools in the mix at this point.

Tyrese Gibson's child custody battle just got a lot uglier. According to a Feb 1 story published by Perez Hilton, the actor/singer is being accused of being a bad father by his daughter's mother, Norma Gibson. According to sources, Norma stated that Tyrese should not have gone to Dubai after Paul Walker was killed in a tragic car accident.
Norma Gibson argued that instead of going overseas, the actor should have stayed home and spent time with his six year old daughter. Norma Gibson argued that Tyrese's trip was for pleasure, and it indicates that he is not serious about taking care of their child.
[He went] gallivanting throughout Dubai … staying in expensive hotels … partying on yachts, sky-diving with other movie stars, driving expensive cars, and making special appearances in night clubs."
However, Tyrese has claimed a very good reason for taking the long distance trip. According to his response, he had several jobs lined up in Dubai, and he desperately needed the money to continue making his child support payments.
What do you think about the escalating custody battle? Was Tyrese justified in taking the trip? Or, should he have taken the opportunity to spend more time with his daughter?

Since numerous charter school networks exist in New York City, noting how the varying educational goals and approach of each network will benefit individuals who want to understand effective schooling practices and philosophies and parents who want to identify the charter schools that fit their children well.
According to the New York City Charter School Center, charter schools are public institutions that do not operate under the governance of the city's Department of Education. Instead, the charter, or a school performance contract, is the basis of their functioning.
Charter school leaders can shape many aspects of their schools, including their educational goals and student behavior standards. Due to this flexibility, charter school networks can differ in the learning outcomes they want for their students. These are the educational goals of five prominent charter school networks, which are documented on their webpages:
- Public Prep Charter Schools runs six single-sex schools that strive for progress in the five categories outlined in the Public Prep North Star of College Completion: "Character Development", "Academic Achievement", and "College Knowledge" relate to student development, and Organizational Stability and Family and Scholar Satisfaction and Engagement are additional components that impact student academic outcomes.
- Explore Schools operates four K-8 schools in Brooklyn, whose purpose is to equip students with critical thinking skills and academic knowledge so that they will flourish in a college preparatory high school.
- Knowledge is Power Program New York City (KIPP:NYC) is a network of 10 schools whose "Work hard. Be nice" slogan captures its emphasis on student learning and character development so that students are well prepared for college and for life beyond it.
- Success Academy Charter Schools emphasizes college graduation as its primary goal for its students. Success Academy implements this goal through taking a novel approach to classroom teaching and by emphasizing the development of certain values, such as curiosity and perseverance, within its students.
- Democracy Prep Charter Schools strives to educate its students in both core academic subjects and civic engagement by implementing an 8 hour school day, a 190 day school year, and community engagement-related initiatives such as voting campaigns and speech and debate activities.
Each charter school network strives to instill specific bodies of knowledge and character traits within its students, and understanding the nuances of each network's mission will benefit stakeholders of New York City's education system.

An English professor by training, Dunsford draws on poetry to explore her new identity as a "mutant" and reflect on her life with J.P., a colorful young man with great verbal dexterity and a lovable...

I have a Nikon D90 camera body and today I started getting a
CHA error on the display on the top of the body that shows f-stop and other settings. Looking around, I do not find a definition for exactly what this means, only suggestions like remove the battery and memory card and reseat them to make it go away, but many say it returns later. What exactly does
CHA mean and how should one resolve it more definitively?

This could just be a case of a poor connection and cleaning the contacts on the card and reseating everything may solve it.
If it has been working then there could be a problem with the card in which case you should be able to test it in a desktop machine and retire/replace it if necessary.
There is also an issue I've had with the D90 and larger memory cards (over 8gb) where it incorrectly calculates 'checksums' used to determine if there is a problem (although it writes them correctly) when the value isn't what it expects then you'll get a
I've been in touch with Nikon about it but without being able to reproduce the issue at will Nikon have not been helpful. The solution I ended up with was just to use multiple cards, which is no great hardship.
According to Nikon:

Sounds like you should try a different SD card, or attempt to repair/format the one you have.
These answers were very helpful in helping me find the problem on my Nikon D90, but in my case it was much more simple. The write lock tab had slid to lock mode when inserting the card. This may be one of the first things to check, pull the card, make sure the tab is in the writeable position, and reinsert it carefully into the camera to avoid brushing it back during the insert. If that doesn't work, I've found placing a small bit of clear transparent tape over the switch helps to keep it from sliding on insert.

College Hockey:Broncos Buck Chargers
Western Michigan Upsets Host UAH
HUNTSVILLE, Ala. — The Western Michigan University Broncos came in to Huntsville and spoiled the Alabama-Huntsville Chargers' home opener, stunning 3,873 in attendance with a 2-1 Bronco win.
WMU coach Jim Culhane was happy with how his charges handled the hostile surroundings.
"We expected [the crowd] and talked about it all week long, he said. UAH had our attention with the start they've had, splitting at Notre Dame and sweeping at Air Force. You could feel a buzz around the city today."
The Chargers (3-2-0) started off the scoring with a power-play goal by freshman Justin Cseter, his fourth of the season.
"It was a nice goal. He worked it well and gave us a shot. Tommy Train in front had good net presence, and Cseter got it through."
The Broncos tied it up on a penalty shot by Cam Watson, who came streaking out of the box and drew a tripping penalty to get the solo chance.
"I felt our group weathered the storm in the first period," Cullhane said. And then we were able to tie it up on the penalty shot."
Cole was happy with his team's effort, but noted that his charges just didn't get the bounces.
"The difference between this and our other games was that we didn't bury a lot of good chances, he said. As for the penalty shot? "We had a mental lapse coming with their guy coming out of the box. You can't let them come out and loop around and just get the puck. We got out of position and took the penalty for the penalty shot, and he buried a nice shot past for the goal. Shame on us."
The Broncos (3-0-0) came out noticeably more physical in the third period, taking it to the home team.
"My observation from the bench was that both teams battled hard," Cullhane said. "Fortunately for us, we came out on top."
Trevor Elias scored the game-winning goal on a mental lapse by the Chargers, with UAH goalie Cameron Talbot stopping Jared Katz's shot, but missing the rebound from Elias, which went off his shoulder and fluttered into the net.
"That last one was goofy," Cole said of the game winner. "[Talbot] was on the original shot but he didn't see the puck go over his shoulder."
Jerry Kuhn was strong between the pipes for the Broncos, seeing his first action of the young season.
Cullhane praised his junior netminder, saying, "I thought Jerry's play was terrific. I thought he made a lot of key saves and was our best penalty killer. He made a big pad save in the third period when it was 2-1 that obviously helped us stay in the game."
The Broncos killed five of the Chargers' six power-play opportunities.
Cole praised his opponents.
"That's a pretty good team over there. They played well and it was a good hockey game. We've just got to be a little better."
The two teams face off at 7:05 p.m. Central time on Saturday night. Cullhane expects to see a similar matchup between the two teams.
"I think you're going to see both teams with more of the same. Obviously, they're not going to be happy with the home opener loss, and our guys can't be happy with just the win tonight."

Chili-Rubbed Tilapia with Asparagus & Lemon
Tilapia, a relatively plentiful fish, has the unfortunate reputation of being dull. All it needs is a spice rub, a familiar barbecuing technique that works just as well indoors. You could also use this rub on chicken breasts or toss it with lightly oiled shrimp before cooking.Yield: 4 servings
Active Time: 20
Total Time: 20
- 2 pounds asparagus, tough ends trimmed, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 2 tablespoons chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic, powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt, divided
- 1 pound tilapia, Pacific sole or other firm white fish fillets
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- Bring 1 inch of water to a boil in a large saucepan. Put asparagus in a steamer basket, place in the pan, cover and steam until tender-crisp, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a large plate, spreading out to cool.
- Combine chili powder, garlic powder and 1/4 teaspoon salt on a plate. Dredge fillets in the spice mixture to coat. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the fish and cook until just opaque in the center, gently turning halfway, 5 to 7 minutes total. Divide among 4 plates. Immediately add lemon juice, the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and asparagus to the pan and cook, stirring constantly, until the asparagus is coated and heated through, about 2 minutes. Serve the asparagus with the fish.

text: 02.20.14 Eight Common Tax Mistakes Taxes are complicated and often are done under a lot of stress. It is not uncommon to forget to claim deductions or credits you may be eligible for if you are preparing your own taxes—you might not even be aware that you qualify for them! Here is a list of some of the most commonly overlooked deductions and filing errors you should check for: Child Care Expenses: Most taxpayers forget to claim the expenses they paid for childcare so they can work. You can even claim a credit for up to $1,000 in additional expenses if you have two or more children in daycare and you use the full $5,000 in excluded benefits through a workplace dependent care benefit program. Itemized deductions: Did you itemize deductions? Itemized deductions can reduce your taxes if the total of your allowed deductions is greater than your standard deduction. Even if you don't pay any mortgage interest you may be eligible total up all of your charitable contributions (monetary and the fair market value of used items); state and local income taxes or sales taxes paid, and a portion of unreimbursed business and medical expenses. Assuming you are more likely to be audited if you itemize is a myth. Paying larger taxes because you didn't claim all of your deductions is a shame. Education credit: Did you, or your spouse or dependent, go to college or a trade school for a few classes last year? Even if you can't claim the American Opportunity credit you can still claim a credit of up to $2,000 for those classes taken to improve your job or life skills or even to get a degree or certificate at a slower than half-time pace. There is even a direct deduction for up to $4,000 of tuition and fees spent to attend school during the year. So don't leave money on the table by ignoring the tax benefits of going to school. Home improvement credits: If you replaced your heat pump, central air conditioning unit, a hot water heater, or even insulation in your attic and walls, you may be eligible for a credit of up to $500. Child tax credits: Didn't claim child tax credit? Yes, it isn't uncommon for parents of children who are under 17 to forget to claim the Child Tax Credits. These credits can reduce your taxes, and for many whose taxes are already reduced, any remaining credit after taxes are zero the remaining credit may be refunded to you. Extended family dependents: Was mom, dad, or another relative living with you or supported by you during the year? If so, you may be able to claim them as a dependent and claim their medical expenses you paid. You might even be eligible to qualify for a credit for Senior Daycare or home health care if it is necessary for you to work. IRA contributions: This is a win-win. You can lower taxes by making an Independent Retirement Account contribution because (1.) the contribution is excludable for taxes and (2.) the contribution gives you the opportunity to claim the Saver's credit. Finally, you can use your refund to make your IRA contribution – another way to win – putting money away so you can live comfortably when you retire. Filing status: Many taxpayers claim the wrong filing status. Filing status is one of the most confusing areas of taxes. Are you head of household or married filing jointly or separately? Are you single or head of household or a qualified widow? Each different filing status has their own unique standard deduction and exemption rules as well as rules governing the tax tables. Stop by your local Jackson Hewitt office for a Refund Recheck(SM) and your local Tax Pros will let you know if you've missed any valuable deductions and credits that could give you a bigger refund.

Nursing Internships Offer Specialized Training
by DAVID MENDEL
Memorial Hermann Healthcare System
While many hospitals around the country struggle with the nursing shortage, Memorial Hermann Healthcare System is rolling out the welcome mat for the freshest minds in nursing. Ten hospitals across the system are set to hire nurses for the 2002 internship program that kicks off in June.
"Our goal is to hire 225 nurses for the June internship program," said Margaret Loper, Memorial Hermann director of strategic recruitment. "We are looking to hire an additional 200 nurses to help meet staffing requirements as Memorial Hermann expands its facilities to meet demand for our services."
Nursing internships are available in emergency services, medical/surgical, intensive and intermediate care, operating room, orthopedics, telemetry, and many other hospital service areas. Most consist of intensive, 12-week programs.
The emergency services program comprises six months of both didactic (lecture and textbook) classroom and hands-on preceptor training (under the guidance of a medical practitioner) applied in real-world situations. All require a work commitment at the sponsoring facility upon completion.
"But from the very start, these nurses will be full-time Memorial Hermann employees with a generous benefits package," noted Loper.
An estimated 600 nurses will graduate from nursing programs throughout the greater Houston area in April and May. Loper said Memorial Hermann has been recruiting heavily not only at local nursing schools but at universities around Texas and across the country as well.
As a Level-I trauma center that treats more than 55,000 patients a year, Memorial Hermann Hospital in the Texas Medical Center is among the Memorial Hermann hospitals that will offer emergency services nursing internships. The program is also available at six state-of-the-art suburban acute-care hospitals, including Memorial Hermann Southwest, a Level-III trauma center that sees more than 73,000 patient visits annually.
Among the other Memorial Hermann facilities hosting nursing internships are Memorial Hermann Memorial City Hospital, Memorial Hermann Children's Hospital, Memorial Hermann Southwest Hospital, Memorial Hermann Northwest Hospital, Memorial Hermann Continuing Care Hospital, Memorial Hermann The Woodlands Hospital, Memorial Hermann Katy Hospital and Memorial Hermann Fort Bend Hospital.
"Our hospital system has a lot to offer," said Loper, "and with locations all around greater Houston, nursing interns can work in a large medical center hospital or a smaller, community-based facility."

Oolong tea: a drink to your health?
Thursday, March 24, 2005
TYLER -- Drinking tea daily may be more than a pleasant social ritual - it might provide health benefits for older people with diabetes.
Dr. David Shafer, professor of medicine at The University of Texas at Tyler, is trying to find out if drinking a particular kind of semi-fermented tea helps lower blood sugar levels. Late last year, he received a $5,000 grant from UTHSCT to investigate if oolong tea could help control diabetes in elderly people. His was one of four small grants awarded to UTHSCT scientists to research the causes and treatments of diseases that affect the aging process.
The four grants totaled $39,500, including $11,500 from the Wolf Benevolent Trust, as well as additional funds from friends of UTHSCT Harold E. and Joy Wright, and funds from the Health Center.
In a study of Taiwan residents, those who drank oolong tea daily for 30 days showed a significant drop in their blood sugar levels, said Dr. Shafer, medical director of UTHSCT's Center for Diabetes Care. He read about the study's results in a 2003 issue of a major U.S. diabetes journal and was intrigued.
"Twenty participants were enrolled in the study. They drank one-and-a-half quarts of oolong tea a day. The tea lowered their blood sugar as much as any medication did," he said. However, none were obese, which could affect the study's outcome. Obesity is one risk factor for diabetes.
Diabetes is a disease that affects how your body uses blood sugar, or glucose, your body's main source of fuel. Normally, insulin helps glucose enter your cells, where the glucose provides energy. In diabetes, the blood sugar accumulates in your bloodstream, and eventually is secreted in your urine. It does this, because your body is not producing enough insulin or because your body's cells aren't responding properly to insulin.
"Chemicals called polyphenols found in oolong tea, but not in black or green tea, apparently act to lower blood sugar levels, though how these chemicals work is not understood," Dr. Shafer said.
"All teas basically come from the same plant, Camellia sinensis. Americans drink mostly black tea, which is completely fermented. Green tea is not fermented at all. Oolong tea is partially fermented," he said.
"Oolong tea seems to have more of these chemicals that affect blood sugar. We don't know if they increase the insulin levels or make the cells more sensitive to insulin," Dr. Shafer said.
"The purpose of the study is to see if oolong tea has an effect on people in this country. We hope to have 50 participants in this small, pilot study, which is just getting ready to enroll participants," he said. Each participant will be randomly assigned to drink either one quart of oolong tea or one quart of water a day. Their blood sugar levels will be measured before the study begins and at the end of it, Dr. Shafer said.
"If it does appear to lower blood sugar, then we'll do further studies to see how it works. It's important to see if it affects blood sugar, because people drink a lot of tea," he said.
If something as inexpensive as oolong tea could be shown to consistently lower blood sugar levels, it would be a great benefit to many people with diabetes, Dr. Shafer said. However, the daily use of oolong tea to reduce blood sugar levels cannot yet be recommended, he added.
"Ideally, if you could isolate the substance in tea that does affect blood sugar levels, you could extract that and possibly have a new treatment for diabetes without actually drinking a quart of tea daily. It would be another treatment option," he said.
For information about the study or enrolling in it, call UTHSCT's Center for Diabetes Care at (903) 877-7569.

Germany Fails Bund Auction -- Again
Fil Zucchi
Last night Germany failed an auction of 10-year bunds. However, unlike a similar failure in 2011, the causes are drastically different.
This article was originally posted on the

I'm not sure if this news has already been making the rounds and is being (fairly) ignored, but last night, Germany failed an auction of 10-year bunds. The country was offering five billion euros and sold only 3.8 billion euros.
You may recall that the kick off of the European financial crisis also took place with a failed auction of German bonds back in the early spring of 2011. However, the reasons for the failures are dramatically different. Back in 2011, investors shunned German bonds as the PIIGS were overspending like drunken sailors and Germany was seen as the country that would have to pick up the slack. Suffice it to say, a lot has changed between then and now.
By all accounts, last night, traders stayed away from the bund auction as it yielded a pathetic 1.41%, more than 100 basis points less than the US 10-year Treasury bond.
That means the spread between the German and US 10-year bond yields will have to close some, so German yields will have to rise and/or US yields will have to close a little bit from the current all-time wide level. That will have consequences in financial markets, especially in currencies, but there is absolutely no indication that, credit wise, the market is on the verge of another EU freak-out.

If Diddy Isn't Inspiring You, There's Something Wrong With You
According to Diddy.
Seriously. If thinking about Diddy's many accomplishments don't cause you to collapse inward and moan what have I done with my life, if ruminating on his contributions to the arts, science, medicine, and geopolitical debate, doesn't just awe your face off, there is something really wrong. According to Diddy.
He tells Playboy:
"If I'm not inspiring you at this point, you're a lost hope. I'm one of the baddest motherfuckers to ever do this shit, and I'm not saying that in an arrogant way. That's a fact, in black and white. I dare you to write down all my achievements. It will be overwhelming. Break it down and then say who's number one in hip-hop. Who else has conquered television? Who else has conquered fashion? I don't want to hear you have a fashion line. Do you have a Council of Fashion Designers of America award? I need to know. Have you run a marathon? If you all still want to fuck with me after I ran the marathon, I don't know what else to do."
So yeah. Take that, New Yorker. Sean Combs has the energy of all of your "World Changers" in one little finger!
Just kidding! Actually, he has it in his pants.
COMBS: I'm not exaggerating. When I heard about Sting doing it, I thought, Yo, is this possible? I studied up on the breathing techniques and the focus. Now I think to myself, I cannot believe I've been going this long! [laughs] Night is turning into day and I'm still goin' at it.

The film was impossible to hear at the Oriental. I went with three other people and we all believed the audio was awful. A mix of both poor movie audio and poor theater acoustics.
The comments we heard from strangers reflected the same thing. We were very disappointed in this film. It received no applause after the film was over...something that usually happens after a quality Film Festival film.

Don't wait until the last minute to renew your apartment lease. If you act early, you reduce stress and improve your options to make a lease agreement that meets your needs.
This apartment lease checklist will walk you through the basic steps of renewing a lease.
- Mark your calendar with important dates. First and foremost, you need to know when your lease is up. Take a look at your copy of the apartment lease and note the termination date. Mark this date on your calendar.
- Now read your lease carefully and see when you need to notify your apartment manager of your decision to renew your lease or move out. Do you need to notify them 30 or 60 days in advance? Mark that date on your calendar, as well.
- Talk to your apartment manager. Before the deadline to renew or terminate your lease, talk to your landlord or apartment community manager about your options. If rent rates are changing, you should be informed. If you like your apartment community, but find you need more or less space, inquire whether you can move to a different unit within the community. Ask for any agreements made to be placed in writing. Terms should be reflected in your new lease.
- Make a decision. Once you have all this information gathered, you can make an informed decision about how you want to proceed. Decide whether or not you want to renew your apartment lease.

May a Landlord Choose Not to Renew a Lease?
Know the Components of an Apartment Lease Agreement
- Write a letter. Once your rental decision is made, submit a letter to your apartment management team informing them of your decision to renew or terminate your lease. If you have made any special arrangements with your apartment manager for a deal on a rental rate or a move to a new unit in the community, include this information and any supporting documents. Keep a copy of these documents for yourself.
- Read your new lease. If you have decided to renew your lease, you most likely will be asked to sign a new lease. This lease will reflect any change in terms and designate the period of the new agreement (one or two years, or month to month, for instance.) Read the new lease carefully and make sure that you are comfortable with the language.
- Sign your new lease. Once you have thoroughly read the new apartment lease and are comfortable with the terms, sign the document to make things official. An official apartment community representative will sign it, as well.
If you take all the time and steps necessary, apartment lease renewal can be a breeze. At the end of the process, you can rest assured that the apartment lease decision was all yours!

Woman may have borrowed money from district
Rob Ireland and Steve Targo
May 16, 2012 | 08:03 AM
BLOOMFIELD — A 52-year-old Pell Lake woman may have "borrowed" money from the Pell Lake Sanitary District.
JoAnn Kanas, W1344 Glenwood Road, the district's former utility clerk, faces felony charges of theft from a business setting totaling more than $10,000 and misconduct in public office.
If convicted, she faces up to 13-1/2 years imprisonment and $35,000 in fines. She made her initial court appearance May 15 when Judge John Race set a $20,000 signature bond for her. During the hearing, Kanas was represented by public defender Travis Schwantes.
Kanas was hired by the district in 1999. She was terminated for misconduct Dec. 18, 2011, by Bill Markut, who at that time was the president of the now defunct Pell Lake Sanitary District Commission.

In 2011, Certified Public Accountant Pat Romenesko performed an audit of the district which revealed more than $20,000 was unaccounted for, according to the criminal complaint.
"There was apparently a reconciliation problem between our accounting and billing systems," Markut stated. "Due to the significance of the number, we took immediate action into evaluating the possible causes of the discrepancy."
He stated the district then hired a part-time, independent bookkeeper to confirm the audit, and "we established that there was indeed a true problem as there was a discrepancy between what we collected as revenue from billing and what was actually deposited into our bank accounts."
On Dec. 15, Walworth County Sheriff's Deputy Jeff Recknagel questioned Kanas about the missing funds for about an hour. During the questioning, Recknagel told Kanas that she borrowed the cash and she responded, "You're right" and began to cry, according to the criminal complaint.
Kanas told Recknagel that she had been "borrowing money." She also said she paid all of it back.
After Markut discharged Kanas, she attempted to obtain unemployment benefits. He stated initially, she was denied these benefits and she filed an appeal with the Department of Workforce Development.
However, on May 3, the department's Appeal Tribunal decided Kanas was ineligible for benefits.
Kanas claimed she paid money back
The tribunal's decision statement includes a section titled "Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law," which details the situation. According to this document, the deficit discovered in January 2011 was "approximately $19,000 between bills that were shown to have been paid and actual deposits" into district bank accounts. Kanas was asked to work with district accountants "in order to resolve the discrepancy."
"When the matter was not satisfactorily explained by April of 2011, a bookkeeper was hired," the document stated. "(Kanas) was directed to aid the bookkeeper and in a short amount of time the (district) was informed by the bookkeeper that much more than $19,000 was missing."
The bookkeeper discovered customer payments were being deposited "months after receipt of the payments," the document stated. Kanas was one of four employees who had regular access to the payments and the district's bank accounts.
The Sheriff's Department began its investigation December 2011, according to the tribunal document. Kanas was interviewed Dec. 15, 2011.
"At first, (she) admitted knowing that money was missing but denied having any knowledge as to why," the tribunal document stated. "She explained that there was always some annual variance between money collected and when it showed up as deposited. (Kanas) was informed that only cash payments were missing and the employee conceded that it was her job to make sure that the cash was properly deposited in the employer's account."
According to the tribunal, Kanas later admitted to "having borrowed money from the employer."
"She explained that she kept track of the money she was taking and agreed that she did not have permission to take the money from the employer," the tribunal stated.
Kanas reportedly admitted to taking about $6,000 in 2010, and "between $1,200 and $1,500" in 2011, according to the document.
"(Kanas) explained that she took at a minimum $100 at a time, frequently taking hundreds at a time," the tribunal stated. "She contended that she kept careful notes on how much money she took and tried to pay it back. She maintained that she had paid back all the money she had taken."
However, the tribunal stated Kanas' personal banking records, which were obtained by law enforcement, "showed unexplained deposits which did not correlate" with paychecks received by her or her husband.
No doubt, the case has affected district officials.
But there no longer is a Pell Lake Sanitary District Commission. When the village of Bloomfield became incorporated, it assumed ownership and operation of the district in accordance with state law. As such, the commission was dissolved.
Village President Ken Monroe called the case "serious" during a May 10 telephone interview.
In an e-mail May 10 to Markut, he was asked how he felt when he first discovered this situation.
"I'll let you know how I feel after the case is resolved in the courts," Markut stated in his reply.

text: 05 July 2011 archive See all show photos RICCARDO TISCI really does have the magic touch. The designer presented what was no doubt one of the highlights of couture fashion week this evening with a collection seemingly comprised from fallen angels in gold and white. It really was exquisite and his lightest couture collection yet, but it was so detailed – everything was encrusted and beaded, and there was beaded fringing, but it somehow managed to still be light," said Vogue fashion director Lucinda Chambers after the show, highlighting in particular a fringe and bead bag that trailed all the way down to the floor from the wrist, cascading into the sheer dress beneath as it went; the continued use of his trademark zip - which he managed to translate into this lightness; and the rich but fragile embroidery which worked its way on to racer backs and shoulders. Everything was light – that was the story here. "He's always so impressive and it was like the women were in armour," continued Chambers, describing it to be "real seminal Riccardo". Enhancing the collection's ethereal mood, Tisci presented his angelic creatures on Paris' wharfs by the Seine river to a backdrop of blue sky. Beautiful, it was a highlight of the week indeed.

Though Amy Winehouse had still yet to release the official follow-up to her 2006 breakthrough album Back to Black at the time of her recent death, she had been working on what should have ended up as her third studio album for some time. The story goes that she was shuttling between recording stuff in line with her trademark soul sound with Back to Black producer Mark Ronson and more reggae-tinged material hanging out in St. Lucia, the latter group of songs Island records were said to have been none too fond of. Amy previously promised that the album would be out January of this year, but she obviously missed that deadline, no doubt helped little by her falling out with Ronson again late last year.
Reports have varied significantly as to what stage the album is in at this point, and whether there will be enough material for a full-length new album of Amy's to be released posthumously. "She has finally finished the album and it's ready to go," a source apparently told The People in May. "[Island Records] were just about to finalise a release date and then this happened." (The "this" referred to was Amy's most recent trip to rehab, which also put a wrench in the new album's creation.) Winehouse protege Dionne Bromfield also claimed to have heard the final album, telling Digital Spy that it was "very good." But no one from the label has confirmed the album's completion or posted a release date, and there's yet to be any music from it that's seen the light of day, so we will have to wait to see in what shape the music recorded will eventually be released—whether as an actual album, as an era compilation, or as part of a larger greatest hits or other retrospective.
In the meantime, the public's appetite for Winehouse's music has understandably surged, with fans flocking to iTunes to consume the singer's old music once more. Back to Black is currently the most-downloaded album on the site, with three songs on the album currently ranking in the top 100 of the singles charts: "Rehab" (#12), "You Know I'm No Good" (#35) and "Back to Black" (#41), with her Mark Ronson collaboration "Valerie" coming in at #59. Already highly anticipated, a new Amy Winehouse album would have to be considered one of the year's most hottest releases at this point, so we'll be sure to post any new information about the album as it trickles down the pipeline.

Obama's Department of Homeland Security just announced another massive purchase of bullets. A purchase of 75.1 million rounds has been added to the 2 billion rounds they've already stockpiled to use against Americans.
The store shelves are still bare when a private citizen like you tries to purchase ammo (and the prices are through the roof when you can even find it). This is proof that Obama is silently disarming all American citizens through this tactic.
The AMMO Act (S. 843/H.R. 1764) would cap the amount of bullets that the federal government can buy at pre-Obama levels. To find out more about The AMMO Act click here.
Forbes magazine says Obama's bullet-buying spree is an intentional move to restrict your Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms. We agree because if you can't find bullets, a firearm is no better than a golf club for personal defense.
The Department of Homeland Security is not supposed to be a branch of the military. However this agency, under Obama's watch, has stockpiled enough bullets to fight a full-scale war that could last for several years. Even agencies that have no law enforcement purpose have been stockpiling bullets under Obama, like the Library of Congress and the US Postal Service.
Obama's federal army is using any and every excuse in the book to choke off the supply of ammunition for civilians like you. To make things worse, your tax dollars are paying for this stealthy disarmament scheme. To stop your tax dollars from being spent on ammunition click here.
A recent purchase made by the DHS includes more than 141,000 rounds of .308-caliber sniper ammo. Also, in previous years, Obama's federal army has purchased close to a billion rounds of hollow-point bullets. No one uses hollow points for target practice, contrary to Obama's claims, and these rounds aren't even legal to use in warfare. Nonetheless apparently Obama thinks they're okay to use against you and your family.
Don't forget, it was Obama's DHS storm-troopers who ordered practice targets last year which included images of children on playgrounds, little old ladies in their bathrobes and pregnant women.
The Second Amendment says that the right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. This includes infringing that right by rendering firearms inoperable through Obama's crazy bullet-buying binge. He is making firearms ownership nearly impossible for Americans who can't afford to purchase the limited supply of bullets that are left.
Obama's stockpile of bullets keeps getting bigger every time we turn around. He's getting ready for something and it most likely is not good for Americans like you and me.
We have to convince Congress to cut off Obama's bullet-buying spree. To see how you can stop this spree and warn others about what Obama is doing click here.

Now that the Cataclysm beta is in the wild and the playerbase, at large, is exposed to the current state of the game, they no doubt have had a lot of questions as to how the expansion is progressing. This anxiety was compounded by the announcement of the new 31-point talent trees, around which the latest Twitter-based Q&A seemed to focus. As indicated, class changes dominated the discussion, though there are a few other tidbits here or there (including, likely the biggest announcement, a major change to Paladin play mechanics).
Below is a sampling, but the original log is far too long for some basic copypasta. You can check out the full chat on Blizzard's forums.
Q: What about some class specific quests for Cataclysm? I enjoyed them in the early levels of WoW!
A: It's very expensive to create class-specific quests given the literally thousands of new quests we are already adding for Cataclysm; however, we are going to have class-specific dungeon quests for everyone at levels 20 and 50. These won't be as involved as, say, the old Benediction quest line, but they will give you a way to get some blue loot that isn't otherwise available.
Q: How much of an impact will the new medium glyphs have on the fun factor of choices in the new 31-point talent trees?
A. We hope it adds a lot. Part of the problem is that if there is, say, a Glyph of Mutilate, you feel like you have to take that as an Assassination rogue over anything else. The medium glyphs are designed to let you customize your character a little more. They are the glyphs you would take if Mutilate didn't exist.
Incidentally, the new tiers are called Prime, Major, and Minor. Majors are the new Mediums. Glyph of Mutilate would be a Prime.
Q: Are there any plans to add Ghostcrawler in-game as a critter or elite crab?
