To Wed a Wicked Prince
Jane Feather
2008, European Historical Romance (Early 1800s [Georgian] England)
Pocket, $7.99, 496 pages, Amazon ASIN 1416525521Part of a series
To Wed a Wicked Prince features an enjoyable romance marred only by a marriage under false pretenses and a too-long page count.
Lady Livia Lacey enjoys the independence she finds in owning her own home in London, a home left to her by an eccentric distant relation, Sophia Lacey. She loves the excitement of the Season, has good friends and is sought after by eligible men despite her lack of fortune. Then her world is turned upside down by the arrival of Prince Alex Prokov of Russia and his determined pursuit of her.
Alex, one of the minor, dime-a-dozen princes Russia produces, is in England with many objectives to fulfill. He is part of a group of Russians in England upset with Tsar Alexander who has just signed the Treaty of Tilsit with Napoleon, which has resulted in the severing of all diplomatic ties with England and much of Europe. This group of men has decided that Russia would be better off without the tsar and are quietly working on an assassination plot. Alex Prokov is a part of this group, all the while juggling correspondence with the tsar who views Alex as his eyes and ears in England. It is a dangerous game Alex is playing.
He has another motive for being in England: Alex's mother was the English mistress of his father who took Alex away to Russia shortly after his birth. Alex's mother is none other than Sophia Lacey, the woman who left her home to Livia. It turns out that the house was given to Sophia by Alex's father for her lifetime only, and so wasn't legally hers to bequeath. Alex wishes to claim the house, but when he learns that Livia believes she owns it, he decides to gain the house by marrying her. Having a wife and an establishment in London is also good cover for his role as princely dilettante. He considers it a bonus that he actually likes Livia and very quickly falls in love with her.
Alex overwhelms Livia with his charm and his determined pursuit - it is all very flattering and exciting and their fun and sexy courtship takes us half-way through the book. Alex is fascinating and Livia is a practical woman who is being swept off her feet and enjoying every minute of it. The relationship is sweet, with a nice undercoat of heat, and I easily bought that they fell in love so quickly. However, it is at this point, after the marriage, that I start having some problems with the story.
Alex is a prince; he is someone who is used to having his own way and having people obey him without question. Feather did a good job of showing that Alex's actions are those of a prince, rather than just a jerk, even if his high-handedness got to be too much at times. Livia, though, is one of those heroines whose IQ drops once they have been bedded. She frets about her husband's mysterious comings and goings, with no word of explanation as to what he's doing; there are rooms of the house she cannot enter, guests to whom she cannot speak. She puts it all down to having to learn to adjust to another person's ways, persevering with the relationship even when things are not exactly to your liking. All well and good, but it is Livia's passivity that grates on me. She was not a passive person before the marriage, but she sure becomes one after the wedding, happy to be distracted by great sex and redecorating, while Alex tells her not a blessed thing about his mother, the house, or his mission.
Part of what made this section of the book difficult to enjoy was the length. At almost 500 pages, there are just too many similar kinds of scenes that left me shaking my head at Alex's arrogance and Livia's meekness. Then, the end of the book got very exciting when all of Alex's secrets are exposed and danger abounds resulting in lots of action and a Big Finish.
So, while I had problems with the middle section of the book, the writing, the characters and the satisfying conclusion push To Wed a Wicked Prince into a book for which I can give a qualified recommendation.

Bacon prices on the rise after virus that has killed more than 7 million piglets
Bacon prices are on the rise hitting an all-time high.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports the average price of a pound of bacon rose 6 cents in June up to a high of $6.11 per pound.
That breaks down to about 38 cents per strip.
A virus that's not harmful to humans has killed more than 7 million piglets in the past year. Fewer full-grown pigs and the ongoing drought has forced feed prices to the historic high.
The upward trend shows no sign of fading as bacon lovers continue to pay the high prices.
How much are you willing to pay for bacon?

Ten American baptist missionaries are now charged with kidnapping for attempting to take 33 Haitian children out of the country.
A local family says the ring leader, Laura Silsby, tried to take their adoptive children too.
The Pickett's are learning how to breakdance, braid hair, and moon-walk like Michael Jackson.
They've also learned how frightening a phone call can be.
The Pickett's say the missionary charged with kidnapping in Haiti, tried to take their children.
While Richard Pickett was in Haiti, Malinda received three separate phone calls from laura Silsby saying she wanted to help out.
"When they get to the Dominican, I'll help you get them over. And I told her no," said Malinda, "my husband is over in Haiti advocating for our adoption to be finished and get our kids home and you know at this time I don't think we need any help."
Malinda says the phone calls raised some red flags. "Do you realize?" she asked Silsby, "we've been waiting 5 years to get our children, you know it's not that easy to just go to Haiti and pick up kids. You know, you can't do that."
"She kept persisting, and Malinda kept saying no, don't bother our children," said Richard, "and Laura decided to show up at the orphanage anyway, and ask for our children, and said that malinda had sent her there. And our children were not there at the time, they were with me."
With all the information surfacing about Silsby's money woes, Richard Pickett thinks she was financially motivated to get his children.
"And maybe do a mild form of extortion, because here we are, obviously interesteed in caring for our children and if she had them in the Dominican, she could use us as leverage to have us pay for their support," said Richard.
The children are recognized as the Pickett's adopted children in haiti. But in the US they aren't yet. Instead of getting visas, they have humanitarian parole visas, only giving them 2 years here, yet another legal battle the Pickett's will face.

Pollen and dust clouds might be a minor irritation for some, but for millions of Americans who suffer from allergies, spring cleaning is not the only culprit that creates a battle with fits of sneezing, runny noses, watery eyes or more severe symptoms. If you are prone to itchy eyes, stuffy nose, sinus pain or breathing problems from the great outdoors, chances are that allergens in the home can make you sick too. According to the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology, (AAAAI), a recent study found that half of all homes contained at least six allergens.
According to AAAAI, allergic disease affects one out of six Americans and costs millions in medications, physician services and missed days from work and school.
Experts at AAAAI explain that an allergy is an abnormal reaction to an ordinarily harmless substance called an allergen. When an allergen is absorbed into an allergic individual, the immune system treats it as an invader and a chain reaction begins. This reaction causes white blood cells of the immune system to produce antibodies, which attach themselves to certain cells that cause a release of potent chemicals. These chemicals bring on the symptoms prevalent in allergic people. Common allergens include pollens, molds, dust mites, animal dander, food, medications, cockroach droppings and insect stings.
Long Island business owner, Maria Heller has suffered with allergies for most of her life but the most severe symptoms occurred after her first child was born. In addition to having eczema as a child, she was also allergic to milk, eggs, chocolate and pets. After her daughter was born, she developed other allergies.
Heller learned she was allergic to mold spores, dust, chocolate, onions, monosodium glutamate, and dairy products, after a series of allergy tests. She was hospitalized over fifteen times, and in one instance, nearly lost her life. Allergy shots controlled her symptoms.
"My allergies changed later," Heller said. "I developed asthma and had allergy shots to relieve the symptoms. After many years, I found that preventative medicine works best for me. Acupuncture and regular chiropractic treatments are all I need now to boost my immune system and keep my body aligned so it functions better. "
Unlike pollen and other outdoor allergens, indoor allergens can cause people to suffer from allergies year-round. Recent information from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) states that indoor air quality is a serious health issue, being nearly 70 times more polluted than outside air quality.
Taking specific precautions in your own home can control indoor allergens: Encase mattresses and bedding in special allergen-proof fabric covers or airtight plastic covers. Bedding should be washed weekly in hot water and dried in a hot dryer. Keep humidity low by using a dehumidifier. Use a high efficiency particulate filter or a double layered bag to vacuum carpeting.
To control indoor mold and mildew, which thrive on dampness found in basements, bathrooms or anywhere with leaks, you should inspect your home for moisture buildup. Mold can release toxic mold spores and is a health hazard. Removal should be done by a licensed contractor who performs environmental inspections and can provide qualified industrial hygienists.

Gunman holed up in Canadian motel bar, possibly with hostages
The Associated Press
MONCTON, New Brunswick- An armed man was holed up in a motel bar and may have taken hostages, police and witnesses said Friday.
Royal Canadian Mounted Police constable Michel Mercier said a police negotiator was in contact with the man, but he could not confirm whether any hostages had been taken.
"The rest of the hotel has been evacuated, as well as the surrounding businesses," he said.
Kevin Campbell, an eyewitness from a neighboring business, said some of the people who fled the bar reported that the man entered with a gun and ordered everyone out. He apparently put a gun to the head of a patron who was playing a video lottery game.
"Other employees at the hotel said this gentleman was playing the (lottery) machines yesterday and lost quite a bit of money," Campbell told the CBC. "Some people are very shook up, and crying. it was very traumatic for them."

Rules of the Road
There are traffic rules that say where, when and how fast you can drive. These rules help to keep traffic moving safely. Rules of the road include traffic control devices, right-of-ways, and parking rules.
What do I need to know about Traffic Signals?
What do I need to know about Traffic Signs?
What do I need to know about Pavement Markings?
What are the General Rules of the road?
What is Right-Of-Way?
What are the rules of Parking?
Traffic signals are lights that tell you when or where to stop and go. A "green" light means you can go if it is safe. A "yellow" light means caution and a "red" light means stop.
Traffic lights are usually at intersections and are green, yellow and red, from bottom to top, when together. There are some intersections and other locations where there are single green, yellow or red lights.
A steady GREEN traffic light means you can go through the intersection. You must yield to emergency vehicles and others as required by law. If you are stopped and then the light turns green, you must allow crossing traffic to clear the intersection before you go ahead. A GREEN arrow means you can safely turn in the direction of the arrow. There should be no on-coming or crossing traffic while the arrow is green. If you are turning left, a steady green traffic green light means you may turn but only when safe to do so. Oncoming traffic has the right-of-way. Be alert for signs that prohibit left turns. When turning right or left, watch for pedestrians crossing in front of your vehicle.
A steady YELLOW traffic light means the traffic light is about to change to red. You must stop if it is safe to do so. If you are in the intersection when the yellow light comes on, do not stop but continue through the intersection. A flashing YELLOW traffic light means slow down and proceed with caution. A YELLOW arrow means that the protection of a green arrow is ending and if you are turning in the direction of the arrow, you should prepare to stop and give the right of way to oncoming traffic before turning.
A steady RED traffic light means stop. This device is to alert you of the red light and that you must stop. You must wait until the traffic light turns green and there is no crossing traffic before you may move ahead. If you are turning right, you may turn after coming to a full stop, if it is safe to do so and if there is no sign prohibiting the turn on a red light. Be careful of pedestrians crossing in front of your vehicle. A flashing RED traffic light means the same as a stop sign. You must come to a full stop and then may proceed when it is safe to do so. A RED arrow means you must stop and you cannot go in the direction of the arrow. You may proceed when the red arrow goes out and a green arrow or light goes on.
If a traffic control signal is out of operation or is not functioning properly. The vehicle facing a:
Traffic Signs
Traffic signs tell you about traffic rules, hazards, where you are, how to get where you are going and where services are located. The shape and color of these signs give clues to the type of information they provide.
Warning Signs - These signs are usually yellow with black lettering or symbols and most are diamond shaped. These signs warn you to slow down and be prepared to stop if necessary. It warns you that a special situation or a hazard is ahead. Some common warning signs are shown below.
The advisory speed plate sign is used in conjunction with any
warning sign to indicate the maximum recommended speed
around a curve or through a hazardous location.
The low clearance sign warns driver of clearance less than the
maximum vehicle height permitted.
The T symbol sign warns traffic approaching a T intersection on
the road that forms the stem of the T.
A merge sign warns that merging movements may be
encountered where two roadways converge.
The lane reduction transition sign warns of the reduction in the number
of traffic lanes in the direction of travel on multi lane highway.
An added lane sign warns of two roadways converging and
merging movements are not required
|The hill sign warns of a downgrade where the length, percent of grade, horizontal curvature, or other physical features require special precautions on the part of drivers.
The slippery when wet sign warns of a condition where the highway
surface is extraordinarily slippery when wet.
|The deer crossing sign alert vehicle operators to unexpected entries into the roadway by deer. These crossings may be relatively confirmed, or may occur randomly over substantial distance of roadway. The distance of the crossing are may be posted below the sign. There are similar signs for pedestrians, trucks, bicyclists, and other potential conflicts.
Railroad Crossing Warning Signs - Many railroad crossings have signs or signals to warn drivers. Never try to beat a train across the tracks. Never start to cross if there is not room for your vehicle on the far side and if you will have to stop on the tracks. Wait until there is room for your vehicle on the far side. It is wise not to shift gears when crossing railroad tracks, just in case you might stall. Remember that trains are large and may be moving faster than they appear to be moving. Some common railroad crossing warning signs and signals are shown in the illustration below.
A round yellow warning sign with an "X" symbol and black "RR" letters
is placed along the road before you get to a railroad crossing.
A white, X-shaped sign or "crossbuck" with "Railroad Crossing" on it is
located at the railroad crossing. This sign has the "Yield" sign.
You must yield to crossing trains.
|A Railroad Advance Warning sign is used to warn of a highway-railroad crossing
Railroad flashing light signals and crossbuck signs are found at most public crossings. These signs should be treated the same way as a yield sign. The driver should slow down and be prepared to stop upon sighting a train. If there is more than one track, a sign below the crossbuck indicates the number of tracks at this crossing.
Work Area Signs - These construction, maintenance or emergency operations signs are generally diamond or rectangular shaped, orange with black letters or symbols and warn you that people are working on or near the roadway. These warnings include reduced speed, detours, slow moving construction equipment and poor or suddenly changing road surfaces. In work areas, traffic may be controlled by a person with a sign or flag. You must obey these persons.
|The Road Work sign serves as general warning of obstructions or restrictions.
|The Workers sign is used to alert drivers of workers in or near the roadway.
|The Flagger sign is used in advance of where a flagger is stations to control traffic.
Regulatory Signs - These signs are square, rectangular, or have a special shape and are usually white, red or black with black, red, white or green letters or symbols. They give you information about rules for traffic direction, lane use, turning, speed, parking and other special situations.
|The No Parking sign prohibits parking in the area
The Fine Doubles sign informs you that the speeding fines will be doubles
in construction zones
This Traffic sign reminds you of your obligation to yield to on coming traffic
if you are turning left and there is a green ball displayed at a signalized intersection
|The Do Not Enter sign is used to prohibit traffic from entering a restricted road. They are one-way against you. You will see them at exit ramps and at one-way streets.
Some regulatory signs have a red circle with a red slash over a symbol. These signs prohibit certain actions, i.e., no left turn, no right turn, no U-turn, etc. Common types of regulatory signs are:
Speed Limit Signs. These signs indicate the maximum safe speed allowed or the minimum safe speed required. The maximum limit should be driven only in ideal driving conditions and you must reduce your speed when conditions require it. For example, you should reduce your speed when the roadway is slippery, during rain, snow, icy conditions, or when it is foggy and difficult to see clearly down the road. Some high speed roads have minimum speed limits and you are required to travel at least this fast so as not to be a hazard to other drivers. If the minimum posted speed is too fast for you, you should use another road.
The SPEED LIMIT sign indicates the maximum or minimum safe speed that is allowed. The Metric equivalent may also be provided.
Lane Use Control Signs. These signs tell you where you can go, where you can turn and often use an arrow symbol. These signs can be located on the side of the road or hanging over the lane of travel. Sometimes arrows may be painted on the road as a supplement to the signs.
No Passing Signs. These signs tell you where passing is not permitted. Passing areas are based on how far you can see ahead. They consider unseen hazards such as hills and curves, intersections, driveways and other places a vehicle may enter the roadway. These signs, along with pavement markings, indicate where you can pass another vehicle, the beginning and ending of a passing zone or where you may not pass. Where it is permitted to pass, you may do so only if it is safe Be aware of road conditions and other vehicles. Be aware of road conditions and other vehicles.
The No Passing Zone sign warns of the beginning of a no passing zone. It is found on the left side of the road
Stop Sign - A stop sign has eight sides and is red with white letters. You must come to a full stop at a stop sign or stop line, if one is present.
You must wait until crossing vehicles and pedestrians have cleared and pull forward only when it is safe to do so.
Yield Sign - A yield sign is a downward pointing triangle.
It is red and white with red letters. It means you must slow down and yield the right-of-way to traffic in the intersection you are crossing or roadway you are entering.
Slow Moving Vehicle - A reflective orange triangle on the rear of a vehicle means it is traveling less than 25 mph. You may see this decal on construction equipment, in rural areas on farm vehicles or horse drawn
wagons or carriages.
Common types of Guide Signs are:
|Destination Signs - These signs are square or rectangular shaped and are green or brown with white lettering. They show directions and distance to various locations such as cities, airports, or state lines or to special areas such as national parks, historical areas or museums.
|Service Signs - These signs are square or rectangular shaped and are blue with white letters or symbols. They show the location of various services such as rest areas, gas stations, campgrounds or hospitals.
Route Number Signs - The shape and color of route number signs indicate the type of roadway: interstate, U.S., state, city, or county road. When planning a trip, use a road map to determine your route. During the trip, follow the route signs to prevent you from getting lost.
Pavement Markings
Lines and symbols on the roadway divide lanes, tell you when you may pass other vehicles or change lanes, which lanes to use for turns, define pedestrian walkways and where you must stop for signs or traffic signals.
Edge and Lane Lines - Solid lines along the side of the road show you where the edge of the road is located.
Other Lane Controls
Shared Center Lane
These center lanes are reserved for making left turns (or U-turns when they are permitted) but can be used by vehicles traveling in both directions. On the pavement, left-turn arrows for traffic in one direction alternate with left-turn arrows for traffic coming from the other direction. These lanes are marked on each side by a solid yellow and dashed yellow lines. In some areas, the shared center lane becomes a "reversible lane" during rush hours. Be sure you can enter the lane before you do so and then only if it is safe to do so.
When there are no signs or markings to control the use of lanes, there are rules that indicate which lane is to be used. These rules cover general driving, passing and turning.
General driving - Never back a vehicle in any travel lane except to parallel park. It is illegal and unsafe to do so. Drivers do not expect a vehicle to be backing towards them and may not realize it until it is too late. If you miss your turn or exit, do not back up but go on to where you can safely turn around.
Do not stop in travel lanes for any reason (confusion, breakdown, letting out a passenger). Keep moving until you can safely pull off the road.
On a road with two or more lanes traveling in the same direction, stay in the right lane except to pass. On a road with three or more lanes traveling in the same direction, if there is a lot of entering or exiting traffic, use the center travel lane.
Unless told to do so by officials, never drive on the shoulder of the road.
Passing - On multi-lane roads, the left-most lane is intended to be used for passing slower vehicles. If you pass on the right, the other driver may have difficulty seeing you and might suddenly change lanes in front of you. Never pass on the shoulder, whether it is paved or not. Other drivers will never expect you to be there and may pull off the road without looking.
Turning - Where there are no signs or lane markings to control turning, you should turn from the lane that is closest to the direction you want to go and turn into the lane closest to the one you came from. This way, you will cross the fewest lanes of traffic. When making turns, go from one lane to the other as directly as possible without crossing lane lines or interfering with traffic. Once you have completed your turn, you can change to another lane if you need to.
Right turns. On right turns, avoid swinging wide to the left before turning to make the turn. If you swing wide, the driver behind you may think you are changing lanes or going to turn left and may try to pass you on the right. If you swing wide as you complete the turn, drivers who are in the far lane will not expect to see you there.
Left turns. When making a left turn, avoid cutting the corner so sharply that you run into someone approaching from the left. However, be sure to leave room for oncoming vehicles to turn left in front of you.
Multiple lanes turning. If there are signs or lane markings that allow for two or more turning lanes, stay in your lane during the turn.
Where vehicles or pedestrians are likely to meet one another and there are no signs or signals to regulate traffic, there are rules on who must yield the right-of-way. These rules tell who goes first and who must wait in different traffic situations.
The law says who must yield the right-of-way; it does not give anyone the right-of-way. You must do everything you can to prevent striking a pedestrian or another vehicle, regardless of the circumstances.
The following right-of-way rules apply at intersections:
Drivers are responsible for making sure that their vehicle is not a hazard when it is parked. Whenever you park, be sure it is in a place that is (1) far enough from any travel lane to avoid interfering with traffic and (2) visible to vehicles approaching from either direction.
No-Parking Zones - There are many areas where you cannot park. Check for signs that may prohibit or limit parking. Some parking restrictions are indicated by colored curb markings. Do not park:
Other parking restrictions are indicated by curbs painted:
Parking on Hills
If you park facing uphill where there is a curb, you should set the parking brake and turn the wheels away from the curb. In any other situation, turn the wheels toward the curb or edge of the road.

BRUNSWICK — Mother Nature did everything she could to affect the 26th annual Medina Relays on Saturday.
She dished out rain, hail, high winds and cold temperatures, but nothing could stop the competition on the track.
From down-to-the-wire finishes and comebacks, the event at Judy Kirsch Field had a little bit of everything, even if most of the athletes went running for a warm place to wait for their next race.
"It was really, really cold and miserable, but you just have go out and run," St. Edward standout Anthony Young said. "You had to warm up extra hard. I ran in hail, winds, everything, but we still have to go out and give the crowd a show."
Young, a Liverpool Township resident, did just that as he squared off with rival Khoury Crenshaw of Solon in a rematch of the Division I 100-meter dash final.
It didn't disappoint, as Crenshaw, who beat Young for the state crown last June by 0.05 seconds, edged Young in the bitter cold by a mere 0.01.
"I thought (I had him), but it's all right," Young said. "It was a great race. We push each other and make each other better.
"This is probably the last time we will see each other until states, so we'll just have to wait until then."
Young also anchored the winning 4×100 and sprint medley relays.
A balanced effort helped Medina's girls to a runner-up finish behind Solon for the third straight year. The Comets had 110 points, 49 more than the Bees.
Medina's distance medley team built an 18-second lead going into the final leg but finished second, as Sarah Pack, Anna Francis, Alexis Smith and Maria Scavuzzo clocked 13:07.71.
That lead was erased after Solon anchor leg and Oregon recruit Therese Haiss brought the Comets all the way back to win by more than 4 seconds.
Despite the loss, the Bees were still proud.
"We all contributed because we knew she was running, so we wanted to get that lead," Pack said. "I think we all ran really well and we're happy."
Pack, Francis and Smith joined Morgan Wickey on the runner-up 4×4, while Scavuzzo placed third in the open 3,200 in 12:06.52. The 4×1 also was second, as Sarayah Kress, Anna Francis, Grace Nemeth, Ashlyn Sydorenko finished in 52.46.
In the field, thrower Cari Pallini took second in the discus (116-2) and third in the shot (34-5¼), while Wickey placed third in the long jump (15-10¾).
Thanks to a pair of event wins, Medina's boys were third behind Solon (92) and St. Ignatius (80).
The boys distance medley relay was impressive, Ian McKee, Sean Masters, Tommy Menyes and Dan Schwendler won in 10:58.47.
Schwendler took the baton in third place in the final leg, the 1,600 run, and was able to pass Midpark and St. Ignatius. He pulled away with 150 meters left.
"I just focused on catching up to the Ignatius guy," he said. "Once I caught up, I stayed back and did what I had to do. I have to thank the guys that put me in position to do what I did."
The win of the day came in the high jump thanks to a personal best Andrew Stenger and the combined efforts of Chase Johanson and Stephen Gazley. The Bees won with 17 feet, 7 inches.
Stenger soared over the bar at 6-1, drawing the attention of coach Bob Jenkins.
"He's a bright spot," Jenkins said. "He started at 5-3, so he literally jumped 12 times. His legs should've been dead."
Like the 100 final, the pole vault was full of the state's best. Medina junior Kyle Hutchinson proved he belongs in that category as cleared 14-6 to finish behind reigning state runner-up and state indoor champ Aaron Owens of Midpark (15-0). The pole vault relay, which also included Robert Sprung and Nate Schoelert, finished second.
The discus unit also was second led by Mike Hierholzer's toss of 154-8, while Sprung placed third in the 110 hurdles in 15.89.
The meet was ran at Judy Kirsch Field after meet officials ruled that the track at Kenneth Dukes Stadium was not fit to host the event due to deterioration of several lanes.
• Medina distance runner Dylan Dombi did not run because of flu-like symptoms. He was scheduled to run in the open 3,200.
• The girls pole vault was not held due to weather.

Supporting People Performance and Management Information
Birmingham Supporting People Team collects management information from its providers to compare against national key performance indicators.
National Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)
The national key performance measures are based on measuring the outcome of different types of services. There are three National KPIs. These are:
- KPI 1 - Service users who are supported to establish and maintain independent living
- KPI 2 - Service users who have been supported to move on in a planned way from temporary living arrangements
- KPI 3 - Fair access to Supporting People services.
The data collected from the client record forms will enable the KPI on fair access to be measured. With the exception of 'exempted' services a client record form should be completed for each new user entering the service.
A client record form and some guidance to help with completing it are attached below. For further instructions and guidance please contact:

FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) -- House Speaker Greg Stumbo has ordered letters to be sent to all legislative staffers, urging them to report any instances of sexual harassment.
That letter, made public Friday, also advised staffers of their right to a harassment-free workplace and advised them that retaliation for reporting harassment won't be tolerated.
The directive came on the heels of allegations by three legislative workers that they had been sexually harassed by Democratic state Rep. John Arnold of Sturgis. Arnold has refused to discuss the allegations, which have been turned over to the Legislative Ethics Commission.
They claim the harassment continued, even after they reported it to supervisors.
Stumbo said if the Legislative Research Commission, the agency the three women work for, didn't properly handle their complaints, "then someone is going to be accountable."

Feefa moves to Brown People Alert Level Two
Sporting body Feefa has raised its World Cup preparedness alert status to its highest level yet.
"Coffee-coloured people are about to fuck up our investment." The previous highest alert level, reached in 2009, was: "Chocolate-coloured people aren't calling us 'Massah' enough when we tour building sites."
Speaking to the press from the west wing vomitorium of the Sepp Blatter Memorial Château in the small European tax haven of Foq D'Law, spokesperson Robb dem Blaaind said he feared that Brazil's stadiums would not be finished in time for the World Cup of Benelux neocolonialism.
"Ideally, by this point we should be at alert level one: 'The fuzzy-wuzzies are ticking along nicely'," he said, before adding: "Certainly no higher than 'We're having to pay more bribes than we'd hoped, but at least the local savages are keeping their mouths shut'."

Dad is identified as NORMAN BROWN, JR.
Portland father accused of violently shaking infant son
Reported by: Brent Weisberg
Published: 11:29 am
PORTLAND, Ore. -- A 22-year-old father is accused of violently shaking his infant son earlier this month.
Child abuse detectives with Multnomah County said Norman Brown Jr. faces assault charges after they learned he likely shook the child on Feb. 12, when the boy was taken to a local hospital. Portland police said Brown's seven-week-old son is expected to survive, but may suffer permanent partial vision loss.
Officials said the boy's parents called 911 to report their son acting differently. Paramedics responded to the family's home in the 10300 block of North Allegheny Avenue and transported the child to a hospital. Doctors performed a CT scan which revealed the child had an old and new brain bleed.
Hospital staff told police that the child had extensive retinal hemorrhaging in both eyes. The CT scan also showed signs of a brain bleed from approximately one month earlier, Portland police said.
Detectives were alerted because doctors felt the injuries were consistent with abuse, court documents reveal. A doctor, speaking to detectives, said the injuries were consistent with a baby being shaken or receiving a forcible impact into a soft surface.
Brown admitted to shaking his son, court documents show. The child's mother also admitted to seeing Brown shake the baby in January.
Brown has been charged with first-degree assault, two counts of third-degree assault and one count of first-degree criminal mischief.
He will be arraigned in Multnomah County Court Friday afternoon.

Rumors about Phaedra Parks and Apollo Nida getting a divorce are spreading online, but the couple has not officially confirmed it. The International Business Times reports on March 22 that the "Real Housewives of Atlanta" star may be separating from her husband because of his legal problems. Nida is under house arrest and faces fraud charges.
A combination of marriage problems and legal woes is allegedly behind the rumors that Parks and Nida have ended their relationship. Nida, who has already been charged with fraud and identity theft, has a trial coming up soon, but his lawyer wife may not be by his side to help him.
Some of their marriage issues became evident on a recent episode of the "Real Housewives of Atlanta" that featured a trip to Mexico. Parks became angry after seeing Nida with Kenya Moore and walked out, but other housewives had to convince her husband to go after her. He seemed content to let her leave and continue his conversation with Moore.
Although the flirtation with Moore did not help, it is not the only possible reason for their marriage to fall apart. Nida's legal issues and other indiscretions have put a large strain on the relationship, and it appears Parks can no longer handle it. Nida was never a favorite of the other housewives, so they may actually welcome a divorce and his disappearance from the reality TV show.

Large multicenter studies validating the prognostic value of coronary computed tomographic angiography (CCTA) and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) are lacking. We sought to confirm the independent and incremental prognostic value of coronary artery disease (CAD) severity measured using 64-slice CCTA over LVEF and clinical variables.
A large international multicenter registry (CONFIRM Registry) was queried, and CCTA patients with LVEF data on CCTA were screened. Patients with a history of myocardial infarction, coronary revascularization, or cardiac transplantation were excluded. The National Cholesterol Education Program-Adult Treatment Panel III risk was calculated for each patient, and CCTA was evaluated for CAD severity (normal, nonobstructive, non-high-risk, or high-risk CAD) and LVEF <50%. Patients were followed for an end point of all-cause mortality; 27 125 patients underwent CCTA at 12 participating centers, with a total of 14 064 patients meeting the analysis criteria. Follow-up was available for 13 966 (99.3%) patients (mean follow-up of 22.5 months; 95% confidence interval, 22.3 to 22.7 months). All-cause mortality (271 deaths) occurred in 0.65% of patients without coronary atherosclerosis, 1.99% of patients with nonobstructive CAD, 2.90% of patients with non-high-risk CAD, and 4.95% for patients with high-risk CAD. Multivariable analysis confirmed that LVEF <50% (hazard ratio, 2.74; 95% confidence interval, 2.12 to 3.51) and CAD severity (hazard ratio,1.58; 95% confidence interval, 1.42 to 1.76) were predictors of all-cause mortality, and CAD severity had incremental value over LVEF and clinical variables.
Our results demonstrate that CCTA measures of CAD severity and LVEF have independent prognostic value. Incorporation of CAD severity provides incremental value for predicting all-cause death over routine clinical predictors and LVEF in patients with suspected obstructive CAD.

Dear friends,
The busy summer season is flying by with continuous requests for help and providing assistance.
We are again limited in our ability to help by our lack of funding.
As much as our hearts would love to answer every plea for help, we just do not have the ability to do so.
Many people wonder why we do not answer every request with a letter or phone call. We just do not have the time or budget to do so.
Our time each week is used as efficiently as possible to continue our mission of bringing life changing assistance to those most in need, and we have done this for the past 25 years.
While our organization has changed some over the years, mostly to accommodate new technologies and regulations, the needs of the poverty stricken and our mission remain the same.

We continue to see homeless veterans, hungry senior citizens, the handicapped living without basic needs, working poor families living without utilities and/or on the verge of eviction.
Twenty-five years ago Sal saw a great need in our great country that he felt compelled to try to alleviate.
Does our assistance still make a difference in the lives that are given a helping hand?
Here are some of the recent thank you notes we have received that show the gratitude for The
Time Is Now
to Help and all of you.
Dear The
Time Is Now
to Help,
No words could express the weight you have lifted off me. Your kindness is very much appreciated. You are all angels to me. Thank you.
Dear The
Time Is Now
to Help,
Sal, just wanted to thank you for fixing my car! You are truly an amazing organization and a gift to society. I pray for and think of you daily.
Dear The
Time Is Now
to Help,
I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping my family and I — you are a God-sent angel — I know I didn't believe before that anything positive could come out of my situation but you showed me that there is a light at the end of the tunnel... I am forever grateful to you for what you did for me.
Dear The
Time Is Now
to Help,
I have tears in my eyes now writing this to The
Time Is Now
, I am so very grateful for the help. I cannot tell you how deeply I so appreciate this. I thank you immensely for being there for the people in need. I now know the hope and relief they feel when this organization reaches out and helps. God bless and thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
Dear The
Time Is Now
to Help,
There are no words to express how incredibly grateful and thankful I am today. Thank you so much for relieving some of our worries. I have been praying for a miracle and today God brought me one! God bless!
I have been in a state of shock since you left our apartment. I never knew there was an organization like yours. Thank you to all that are involved with this organization. We will continue to pray as we have been and remain grateful that we still have a roof over our heads thanks to The
Time Is Now
and those who donate to you.
Dear The
Time Is Now
to Help,
We want to thank you for your help with our car today. It is so much safer now. I can drive my husband for his cancer treatments without worrying that our car may not start or breakdown on the way there, or even worse on the way home while he is feeling so poorly. You have lightened our load during a very stressful time. God bless all of you.
Dear The
Time Is Now
to Help,
I just wanted to say "Thank You So Much!" You recently donated a beautiful new bed to my son that has special needs and many health problems. He really needed this bed so badly. I was at a loss for words and even cried because your gift made me so happy. God bless all of you! You made my son very happy and it was nice to finally see him smile.
Dear The
Time Is Now
to Help,
I can finally see light at the end of the tunnel. I was living in constant pain and was too sick to work before you sent me to the dentist.
It turns out I could have died from the massive infection I could not afford to have treated. I am beyond grateful for your help and concern over my family's well-being.
The utility check was also greatly appreciated. We were on the verge of disconnection and then you surprised me with this check. I never even asked for this help and then my prayers were answered when you showed up on my doorstep. I never even heard of an organization like The
Time Is Now
to Help until my sister told me she had written you a letter in my behalf. I just wanted to let you know how grateful I am and we are all so thankful for the guidance and assistance you brought to our family.
These are just a few of the recent thank you notes we have received that we felt needed to be shared with all of you. This assistance would not have been possible if not for your generous support. Every penny of your donation is used to provide food, shelter, transportation assistance, utility assistance, toiletries, clothing, dental care and much more. We do not use your donations to pay for salaries, office space, equipment, reimbursements, office supplies, postage or any other expense.
The assistance this week has included a young lady requesting help for her family that is suffering a setback due to her parents many health problems, a single mother homeless with two children after a fire destroyed all their belongings, a single father with children not able to make ends meet after an illness, a senior citizen skipping meals and medications in order to save enough money to pay for her eye surgery and glasses, a car repair for a single mother trying to maintain her new employment after losing her job due to endless car trouble... The needs of the fellow creations in our communities are many.
They would be overwhelming if it was not for all of you standing with us in this effort to bring assistance to those in need. Just knowing you are there to help us makes our work not only easier, but possible.
My dear friends, poverty is causing great pain among our fellow creations. Let us stand together and continue our good works of removing the pains of poverty. God bless all of you for helping those in desperate need.
Health and Happiness,
God bless everyone,
Please help
There are many coming to us in desperation. Our good fellow creations need our compassion. Together we make a big difference. Make checks payable to:

However Western intelligence was very convinced in the climactic phase of the Cold War. The tale told at that time was that completion of test of the 4,220 kg MiG 105-11 manned subsonic test bed did not mark the end of the Spiral spaceplane project but rather a rebirth. It was reported that development of a larger manned 'space interceptor' was authorized in September 1978. This spaceplane, supposedly called 'Uragan', was to be launched atop the new Zenit launch vehicle.
The BOR-4 unmanned subscale orbital test craft verified the configuration in four hypersonic re-entry tests between 1982 and 1984 (however expert Russian space historians maintain that these were merely tests of heat shield materials for the Buran shuttle using available Spiral project subscale models). A first group of six Air Force pilot cosmonauts were selected to work on the program from the outset. A second group of at least three cosmonauts was selected in 1985, seeming to indicate that flights would begin in the next few years. The U. S. Department of Defense issued drawings of the spaceplane atop the Zenit launcher and artist concepts of it operating in orbit in 1986. The DoD claimed that the interceptor was to be armed with space-to-space missiles, evidently in response to US military shuttle missions. Uragan was said to have been cancelled in September 1987 for unknown reasons before the first flight of the Buran shuttle. Possibly the cancellation of US Shuttle polar orbit military missions from Vandenberg after the Challenger explosion eliminated the space interceptor's mission. Or perhaps it never existed and was merely the subject of a very successful disinformation campaign. Adding even more confusion is that it is now known that at least two spaceplanes - Chelomei's LKS, for launch on Proton, and Molniya's OK-M, for launch on Zenit, were being designed concurrently with Buran. And the official history of the MiG OKB, states cryptically that after completion of the 105-11 flight tests development of the spaceplane continued....

Joanne Schneider was sentenced to 10 years in prison for engaging in a pattern of corrupt activity by Judge Shirley Strickland Saffold. The Ohio Division of Securities conducted the investigation.
In March 2009, Joanne Schneider pleaded guilty to thirteen felony charges, including engaging in a pattern of corrupt activity. She faced a possible maximum sentence of 119 years in prison and was sentenced to three years in prison in March 2009. The Court of Appeals reversed and remanded her to re-sentenced.
Joanne Schneider, 67, engaged in a massive real estate scheme over many years where she bilked eight million dollars from investors. The money was used to fund Schneider's real estate development projects, including the largest undertaking, the $60 million Cornerstone Project. The Cornerstone Project was to be a Main Street-style entertainment complex, complete with shopping, dining, entertainment, and apartments, that would replace an abandoned supermarket on W. 130th Street. Sales of promissory notes for the complex were generated by word-of-mouth by Joanne Schneider and people who had done or were currently doing business with Schneider.
Joanne Schneider's scheme unraveled when Ohio Division of Securities received a complaint from a family member of an investor in May 2003. The complainant was suspicious that his mother was receiving a 16-20% interest on her investment. He requested that the Division investigate his mother's investment. The Division sent Joanne Schneider a letter in October of 2003 notifying her that she was under investigation and requested documents from her. In May 2004, the Division issued a cease and desist order against Joanne Schneider for selling unregistered promissory notes.
After continuing to sell promissory notes in violation of the cease and desist order, the State was successful in obtaining a preliminary injunction in December 2004 against Schneider. In February 2005, she was found to have violated the preliminary injunction by continuing to sell securities without the permission of the court and a court-appointed Special Master. A Receiver was appointed to take possession of the joint assets of the Schneiders, and the individual assets of Joanne Schneider. The court later extended the Receiver's authority to include Alan Schneider's individual assets.
The criminal case against the Schneiders was referred to the Prosecutor's Office by the Ohio Department of Commerce's Division of Securities. Joanne Schneider was indicted in November of 2005 for stealing eight million dollars from investigators.
Joanne and Alan Schneider began investing in both commercial and residential real estate in the 1980s. By 2005, they owned 23 properties, including three wineries, a machine shop, multiple apartment complexes and single-family dwellings. Alan Schneider pleaded guilty to six felony charges and faced seven and half years in prison and was sentenced to community control sanctions.
On March 12, 2009, Schneider pleaded guilty to Engaging in a Pattern of Corrupt Activity, Security Fraud, False Representation in the Sale of a Security, Sale of Unregistered Security, and Money Laundering.

From the Equal Justice Foundation newsletters by Dr. Charles E. Corry comes the following excerpt of a very telling newsletter of what we're up against that is entitled "Taken into custody, tortured and outraged". I would have included the whole newsletter herein except it ran over meetup.com's limit on the size of "About Us" pages. To read this newsletter in its entirety, see it in our Files section under EJFNewsletterTakenIntoCustodyTorturedAndOutraged:
Into the realm of the surreal
Though many other evils exist, it is the wholesale destruction of children, families, and marriage by a false ideology that looms largest. Clearly the basic building blocks of our civilization are families and millennia of experience has taught us that children learn best, and accomplish most when raised by their father and mother in a patriarchal family. But the rise of radical feminism in the 1960's merged with the implementation of "no fault" divorce to begin destruction of children, families, and marriage on a previously unimaginable scale. As we move into the Third Millennia of the Christian Era approximately one-half of all marriages end in divorce and, as this is written, 38% of all children are born out-of-wedlock.
Unquestionably the future is grim for most of our children as currently only about 15 out of 100 are born into and reach age 18 in an intact family.
Since incorporating in 2001 the Equal Justice Foundation has repeatedly stated that under current laws a man has to be functionally insane to marry and a drooling idiot to sire a child. In his popular FredOnEverything column, Fred Reed made the same point in July 2003. In a November 11, 2007, newsletter, Dr. Stephen Baskerville, author of Taken Into Custody: The War Against Fathers, Marriage, and the Family, again called attention to the problem, a situation our society cannot long sustain and survive.
No-fault divorce, or how to make lawyers rich and destroy civilization
The best history of how "no fault" divorce evolved that I'm familiar with is Judy Parejko's book Stolen Vows. She traces the corruption of the current law to the venal behavior of California Assemblyman James A. Hayes, who was appointed chairman of the Assembly Judiciary Committee in 1969 while undergoing a high-conflict divorce. Hayes used his position to advantage in his divorce but began the destruction of marriage in general. Dr. Baskerville gives credit for this evil to the National Assoc. of Women Lawyers (NAWL) and those redfems also certainly played a starring role in the destruction of marriage we are now witnessing. However, the origin of this societal disease can be traced to Marx and Engels who declared that 'The class struggle begins in the family." Lenin furthered this Marxist ideology when he grabbed power in Russia and attempted to abolish marriage. But we certainly failed to learn from this historical failure in the Soviet Union.
Damn the patriarchy, full speed to destruction in the wake of "domestic violence"
It is no secret that radical feminism blames all the ills and misfortunes of women on the patriarchy. Because of this belief, in their ideology all women are victims and all men are batterers, which is a requirement in order for men to maintain their patriarchal privileges. Also, their dogma claims that all "domestic violence" results from "power and control" actions taken by males in order to preserve the patriarchy. Thus, based on feminist ideology, in order to gain equality for women it is necessary to eliminate the patriarchy and "restore" a more primitive matriarchal society.
This nonsense was sinking into well deserved oblivion until Erin Pizzey founded the first shelter for battered women in Chiswick, London, England in 1971, followed by the publication of her book, Scream Quietly Or The Neighbors Will Hear. As no civilized society tolerates violence against women within its midst, Pizzey's pioneering work gained worldwide support, including Queen Elizabeth II in England.
Unfortunately, radical, leftwing feminists (redfems) quickly seized the issue of violence against women for their own nefarious goals. When Erin Pizzey pointed out that women were at least as violent as men in intimate relationships, she was hounded into exile by the redfems leaving them in clear possession of the now well-known and publicized "domestic violence" issue. Hardly the first time a legitimate social issue has been usurped by demagogues for their own purposes.
An unholy alliance
By the 1980s redfems had begun to form an unholy alliance with lawyers (always an easily corruptible class), legislative bodies (largely made up of lawyers), and the judiciary (more lawyers who are ready to eat their own if they don't conform) in the name of stopping "domestic violence."
The resultant destruction of families created employment for lawyers as guardian ad litems (GALs) and special masters to protect "the best interest of the child," "family" lawyers whose actual objective is to destroy families with maximum conflict and, hence, billable hours.
This despicable alliance also drew in, and financed an army of parasites: psychiatrists, psychologists, sociologists, and similar ilk by the tens of thousands. These bottom feeders came in the guise of "chid protective services" (legalized kidnapping), "child support enforcement" (uses police to force fathers to pay for children stolen from them, or who might not even be their child), foster homes that have the humanity of puppy mills, child and family evaluators to ensure a family only behaves in a socialistically-acceptable manner, and administrators and teachers in politically-correct schools where children are routinely drugged and criminally charged at ages as young as 5 or 6 for innocent games children have played since time immemorial.
While this alliance has proven to be a financial bonanza for all players, criminal domestic violence (DV), exclusive of the normal disagreements many couples have, is quite rare, occurring in only about 4 out of 1,000 households (0.4%) in a given year, and there is no evidence that the draconian DV laws have had any effect on this problem. Note that I use Prof. Don Dutton's definition of a "batterer" as someone who repeatedly strikes or kicks an unresisting victim when speaking about "domestic violence." I have discussed in detail when interactions between a couple is not domestic violence, and when violence against a woman is justified and even required by law. But today every loud argument between a couple is classified as a criminal case of "domestic violence" or abuse.
Conversely, it is clear the laws intended to control "domestic violence" make the problem worse. There is no evidence to suggest any domestic abuse restraining order ever protected any woman. Research has shown that "... Increases in willingness of prosecutors to take on protection order violations associated with increases in homicides of white married intimates, black unmarried intimates, and white unmarried females."
VAWA promoted mandatory arrest in DV cases and research now shows that in the 23 states that adopted this draconian policy, DV homicides are 60% higher than in the other 27 states.
As noted above, half of all marriages now end in "no fault" divorce. New York Supreme Court Judge Brian Lindsay stated, "There is no system ever devised by mankind that is guaranteed to rip husband and wife or father, mother and child apart so bitterly than our present Family Court System." But this well suits redfem ideology whose objective is to destroy the patriarchy. Certainly if marriage is destroyed the patriarchy will fall.
Further, actual family violence is commonly associated with mental and medical problems, the cure for which are of little value to the DV industry and the "legal" system. Worse, the partner suffering the mental or medical problem is commonly the female. To circumvent these inconvenient facts, redfems and their allies have put forth an ever expanding definition of "domestic violence" and "domestic abuse" to keep their feeding at the public trough alive.
As the definition of domestic violence and abuse expanded, and ever more draconian laws were passed circumventing even the most basic protections of English law and the U.S. Constitution, it became convenient to use DV charges and restraining orders in divorce cases. By the 1990's the DV and divorce industry that burgeoned under "no fault" laws had effectively merged. That merger was of great financial benefit to both groups and, conveniently, acts to destroy the patriarchy.
Domestic violence by the numbers: The basic script
After the passage of the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) in 1994 a clear pattern of legal abuse emerged so that today there is a standard script used to destroy children, families, and marriage. With variations we see the following pattern on a daily basis, and about 2 million men (and some women) in the United States go through some version of this nightmare every year:
Probably half the people who read this script will react with something like: "Been there, done that!" But despite the incredible number of men and women who go through this nightmare every year we have found it virtually impossible to get citizens or legislators to believe how debased, dysfunctional, and evil our "legal" system has become unless, and until they or someone close to them becomes involved in one of these nightmares. And I have been astounded to find that even men caught up in such a legal nightmare are still denying its existence. Their reaction, though they are destitute and convicted by their own plea bargain, is a specious claim that they are going to sue. It is no wonder the courts mock them.
For skeptics, Dr. Stephen Baskerville has extensively documented this corruption in his recent book, Taken Into Custody. In it Baskerville considers Freud and his theory of patricide, but ignores the much greater influence of Freud's cousin, Edward Bernays, who created the field of public relations and its offshoot, the marketing of lifestyle and consumerism. Bernay's work, and that of his colleagues and disciples, provided means for crowd control and manipulation that have been successfully used by governments, redfems, and the divorce industry. One finds clear evidence of such manipulation in terms such as "deadbeat dads" and the government bureaucracy that is built around child support enforcement.
Unfortunately, those who work to preserve children, families, and marriage have not mastered the art of public relations or evolved the necessary catch phrases. "Shared parenting," often heard from father's rights groups, for example, contains the death of a marriage within it and inherently accepts defeat. And there is certainly no bureaucracy to carry the burden of family preservation, only to collect child support.
The "legal" profession doesn't grow rich, nor government expand if a marriage endures and children are raised by mom and dad.

Our Animal Action Education programme helps children learn and care about animals
More resources for helping dogs and cats:
The Governor of the island of Bali ordered the mass killing of roaming dogs. Thousands of innocent dogs are killed every year, often suffering slow and painful deaths.
The Governor claims free-roaming dogs will lead to the spread of rabies. But human and animal health experts have proven that culling doesn't work to control rabies. In fact, it can result in the spread of the disease. Often, dogs that have already been vaccinated are among the victims of a mass killing.
Tell Balinese officials to stop the mass killings.
