INTRODUCTION; 1990; DOI: 10.1215/ed-16-introduction; CL 16: firstpage-16-ix-lastpage-16-xii
Full as the record of the Carlyles seems, they are unknown in many ways, and the present set of volumes continues to show what a high proportion of their letters is new to readers. The introduction to volumes 13 to 15 reviewed the situation at that stage, when we claimed that as many as 70 percent of their letters had not been completely printed before and that well over half had not been previously published. Of 633 letters in the present set, over 42 percent have never appeared before: 233 by Thomas and 37 by Jane; and of the remainder though 22 percent can be found with some difficulty in various collected volumes, the others have appeared incomplete, so that once more well over half these letters are only now delivered to whatever new readers they will find.
It might possibly be said that they tell a familiar story, with no other advantages than being complete, correctly transcribed, properly dated, explained and chronologically arranged. But this would hardly be true. They are also qualitatively different, affecting our judgment of the writers and their times. The Carlyles have often been seen as typically and conventionally Victorian; but the question arises whether we know either of them well enough for such judgments. Some of their activities are certainly unfamiliar.
As Jane, for example, begins to play a greater part in these years, the emphasis falls differently; more of her letters began to be kept and, as well as having an increasingly prominent role in Carlyle's circle, she developed one of her own. Among many who belonged to it were her feminist Liverpool and Manchester friends, Elizabeth Paulet and Geraldine Jewsbury, with whom she had meant to write a novel after the manner of George Sand; and although Jewsbury was left to finish it alone, she continuously discussed it with Jane, who arranged with Chapman and Hall for the publication of the three-volume Zoe in 1845. It is only recently that we have begun to appreciate the extensive influence of Sand on early Victorian fiction and opinion, which with Jane Carlyle was reinforced by her friendships with Mazzini and Godefroy Cavaignac, who knew the French writer personally; but she was also generally alert to advanced ideas from France, Germany and Italy. It would be wrong to overstress her liberality, but we can find similar feelings focused through such friends as Anna Jameson or correspondents such as the novelist Martha Lamont, congratulated by Jane for her protests at male complacency (JWC to MML, 29 Dec. 1843).
This is only one example and it would be easy to illustrate Jane's originality and independence, whether in her personal behavior, moral and religious opinions, or political judgments in which she differed little from her husband. It is less usual to recognize that Carlyle himself was a spokesman for independence and political freedom. Their friendship with the Italian revolutionary Mazzini was chiefly kept up by Jane, but it was Carlyle who took a strikingly outspoken liberal position on the British government's interception of Mazzini's mail. Carlyle's letter to the Times (TC to EOT, 18 June 1844) was strongly effective in its support of justice and liberty, and was repeated in private company with a re-proof to the arrogant Lady Holland for absurdly believing the slander that Mazzini had "kept a gaming-house": "the proudest person" in their company could not be further above it than Mazzini (TC to JWC, 8 July 1844).
We are reminded that in these years Carlyle was seen as a champion of national independence, and was the friend of many European revolutionaries, German, French, Polish, and Italian. We notice his caring little for the Prussian ambassador ("Alas, Bunsen is not beautiful to me!" [TC to LHB, 22 Dec. 1844]), but much for Richard Plattnauer, a Prussian political exile, even to the extent of cheerfully welcoming him to their own home after Plattnauer's cautious release from a lunatic asylum. Much of this independence came from Carlyle's Scottishness, his "Covenanting" sympathies, or can be found in his attraction to the seven-teenth-century Puritan revolution; and his essential truth and integrity were recognized at this time in Past and Present and were to attract even the national and revolutionary leaders of Young Ireland (Gavan Duffy and others) who were to meet him in 1845.
The Scottishness of the Carlyles has had surprisingly little attention, and for the moment can have no more than a momentary reference. But these were the heroic years of the Disruption of the Scottish Church, when more than a third of its ministers were ready to give up their homes and stipends in the cause of independence. To the visiting American Julia Ward Howe it seemed a rather inexplicable "movement tending to disestablishment" (JWC to JW, 27 May 1843), but to Jane it was a concern for tears (JWC to TC, 14 July 1843), and to Carlyle, as to many of his countrymen—for he cared little for the Church itself—a matter of national pride and independence. He rises to admiration at the "lump of an old woman, half-haveril [idiot] half-genius" who acted in defiance of the great magnate the Duke of Buccleuch by giving for a new church the only unoccupied patch of ground he did not control: "'I got it from the Lord and I will give it to the Lord';—and there the Free Kirk it seems in spite of Duke and Devil is to be!" (TC to JWC, 30 Aug. 1843).
Carlyle's published works can speak for themselves, but the letters of this time show the completion and reception of Past and Present and the end of his persistent struggle to find the right form for his work on the Cromwellian period; and only by collecting the letters and studying them with his scattered drafts for Cromwell has it been possible to see why he found the book so difficult to write. In both Past and Present and Cromwell he turned from history to fundamental questions of the day: "There is no use in writing of things past," he told Emerson, "unless they can be made in fact things present" (TC to RWE, 19 July 1842). Nor was his radicalism confined to the rhetoric of the published works. His chosen correspondents were often radical or reformist, such as Samuel Bamford, friends such as Mill, Harriet Martineau, the Wedgwoods, or the younger Charles Buller, or Thomas Ballantyne, the free-trading liberal editor of the Manchester Guardian.
Both the Carlyles carried their convictions into practice. His sense of distress among the people runs through his letters, like his recollection in The French Revolution of how the voice of the Viennese populace "crying to their Kaiser: Bread! Bread!" had given Glück "the ground-tone of the noblest passage" in his opera Iphégenie en Aulide (Works 2:194). Early in 1843 such distress seemed less in London than elsewhere, "yet you cannot walk along the streets without seeing fearful symptoms of it. I declare I begin to feel as if I should not hold my peace any longer" (TC to MAC, 6 Jan. 1843). As best they could, both he and Jane tried to help individuals directly, and both were closely bound to Carlyle's family—shopkeeping, tenant-farming and housepainting in Scotland—who kept them in touch with everyday realities.
Carlyle writes to his emigrant brother Alick, "No abatement … yet visible of the Universal distress. Rejoice that you are out of it"; for the younger brother and family had felt driven to leave for North America. Most of the letters they exchanged have been published before; but we can now see how the whole Carlyle family was involved, not only giving financial help but in preparation, obtaining expert advice, helping with the actual departure and continued communication which was eventually to lead to a family reunion through the marriage of Carlyle's Scottish niece Mary Aitken to Alick's son Alexander, who went on to live with him at 5 Cheyne Row and edited many volumes of his letters. Nor was it only Alick who experienced emigration: he had been preceded by their elder stepbrother, John, their brother-in-law Robert Hanning, numerous friends, and several more distant relatives. There is, in fact, no other collective contemporary record which so vividly tells what the experience of emigration meant, from the scene of departure among their tearful neighbors (TC to MAC, 23 June 1843) to Carlyle's imagining (from his brother's description) the family on their new farm, "planting Indian corn, the Father digging holes, and the little ones dropping-in grains" (TC to AC, 18 Aug. 1844). It is an aspect, like others, neglected by historians.
These are no more than a few examples of many changes in our conception of the Carlyles and their times which biography has not been able to take into account; and, extensive as the whole archive is, new letters are still being found. The last set of volumes made use for the first time of a large collection of family letters which came from a solicitor's office in Arbroath. The present one begins to draw on the vast correspondence of both Carlyles with the Barings and Ashburtons, to which we have been able to add many letters previously unknown. Later volumes will begin to reveal much more of the remarkable circle which gathered round the Ashburtons.
The introduction to volume 13 briefly mentioned the extent to which texts in various collections of the letters have been bowdlerized or modified for the convenience of both biographers and editors, and this continues to be apparent. In the present volumes we have continued to follow, as exactly as possible, what the Carlyles wrote. As Jane's letters increase in relative extent, her misspellings and other eccentricities begin to be an embarrassment, but only a proportion of them are noted. It is hoped that readers will feel that they can trust the editors and will not be inconvenienced.
One editorial complexity connected with Jane was not explained in the introduction to the first volume. Almost all of her letters are given from her own manuscript, but many of the notes that Carlyle wrote for them are taken from what are referred to in the headnotes as "long-hand copies" in the Berg Collection of the New York Public Library (and which in subsequent volumes will be referred to as "copies"). These were from copies of the letters made for Carlyle and bequeathed to Froude, who had agreed to finish Carlyle's undertaking, most of which eventually appeared, mainly as the Memorials of Jane Welsh Carlyle Prepared for Publication by Thomas Carlyle edited by James Anthony Froude. In fact, as Alexander Carlyle tells us and newly discovered papers confirm, there were once two such sets of copies, though the second, less-complete one now seems lost. Hence it arises that we have a partial explanation for the survival of some of Carlyle's notes as recorded by Froude even when they are not to be found with the copied letters in the Berg Collection. If this mainly concerns the editorially minded, it raises the hope that there may be still further letters of the Carlyles yet to be found and added to their great record.

(BlackDoctor.org) — November is Lung Cancer Awareness Month, joining more than 200 other health awareness days that range from breast cancer and heart disease to foot health and motorcycle safety.
With such a crowded disease-of-the-month awareness calendar, I can understand why many of them don't make headlines, even if past events have contributed to increased testing, improved diagnosis and better disease outcomes.
However, whether it's part of an official awareness month or not, greater awareness and diligence are still greatly needed for many diseases — particular lung cancer.
Lung Cancer Claims More Lives Than Most Other "Popular" Cancers Combined
Lung cancer is a disease that claims more lives each year than breast, prostate and colorectal cancers combined. Tobacco use accounts for nearly 87 percent of all lung cancer deaths each year, although some 10 percent of lung cancer diagnoses are found in people who have never smoked.
It is estimated that African-American men are 40 percent more likely than Caucasian men to develop the disease over the course of their lifetimes. The rate is approximately the same in African-American women and Caucasian women.
We're Making Progress, But People Are Still Dying
Smoking rates have steadily declined since the 1964 Surgeon General's Report, which stated that smoking was harmful. Today, the percentage of people who smoke is the lowest since World War I.
We have started to see people living longer with lung cancer. However, still less than 15 percent of those with later stage disease survive five years. Compare that to breast cancer, which has a 93 percent survival rate when diagnosed early, and prostate cancer, which has a nearly 100 percent five-year survival rate when diagnosed at early stages.

If you like the sort of restaurant Jeff Gimmel and Nina Bachinsky-Gimmel run, now you have two places to experience it. The couple who have enjoyed success since 2004 in restaurant-centric Hudson, Columbia County, with their Swoon Kitchenbar, have taken over and reimagined a Stonington, CT, waterside operation they are calling Swooner.
Tyler Viggiano is Swooner's chef de cuisine and Jake Crittenden runs the front of the house. Gimmel, 2012 James Beard Nominee for Best Northeastern Chef, told The Day newspaper he and his wife are devoting almost all of their time to Swooner and have rented a home locally. No word on what that means for the future of their Hudson restaurant. Stonington is located 165 miles east of Hudson, on the Connecticut shore overlooking the eastern tip of Long Island Sound.
Their new enterprise is the successor to Skipper's Dock at 66 Water Street in Stonington. The Gimmels moved in when the property owners declined to renew the Skipper's Dock operators' lease. Not so coincidentally, those property owner also own the Inn at Stonington, where the Gimmels often stay.
"I said to Nina, 'Let's go to Stonington for the weekend and getsome seafood and look at the cold water,'" Gimmel told The Day newspaper of how the
opportunity presented itself during a winter getaway. They ended up being approached by Inn owners Bill Griffin and Charles Royce and, after doing extensive work on the property including gutting and replacing the kitchen, now are serving dinner with lunch service on the horizon.

We can create a better Toronto: one that is easier to live in, easier to move in and one that is easier on the environment.
Spadina-Fort York is in the heart of Toronto. A city that for decades has been home to a vibrant diversity of social, cultural and economic communities. Starting your life in Canada, starting a family, getting an education, building a career or opening a restaurant were all possible. But this is changing. Toronto is becoming a harder and harder place to raise a family or build a business.
This election gives you the opportunity to make a choice that can have a real impact right here in this community. Because to make Toronto a better place to live and work, we need all levels of government to work together. For too long, we've sent our taxes and our politicians to Ottawa and received too little in return. It's time for a change.
I've lived and worked in this riding almost all my life. I've lived in the old houses and the new condos, spent summers on the lakefront and winters in the parks playing shinny. There is much to love, but there is much that a new federal government must do to protect our quality of life.
Our neighbourhoods need better transit — not just new lines, but better service. That means a federal partner who understands the need for stable funding to help meet growing transit needs. While more affordable housing is needed, existing units must also be repaired. The new condo communities are a great place to start a family, but we also need to be able to raise children in these neighbourhoods. It's time the federal government had a national housing strategy that works for our fastest growing cities.
We also need to keep our main streets vibrant. Small businesses not only create jobs, they keep communities safe. Active streets with a healthy mix of independent businesses, strong local cultural institutions and community services need a federal representative that understands this, instead of ignoring it.I have spent my life contributing to the debate over the future of this city. I've led the fight for family housing, made sure city streets are designed for people, and I've fought to protect and create space for artists and creative industries in our community. I've built new parks and daycare, delivered affordable housing and defended the waterfront.
We could be doing so much better if the federal government acted as a partner here in downtown Toronto. This riding could do better if we elected politicians focused on building a better quality of life instead of just building a life for themselves in politics. Good words are not enough; we need to elect people who actually get good things done.
I want to get back to Ottawa to continue to make a difference in the riding I call home. I hope I can earn your support so we can work together to make it happen.

The fans of "Big Brother" are up in arms over comments made about rape and so is the family of one of the contestants. According to Bustle on Sunday, Frankie Grande made a seriously offensive comment, when he joked with other house guests about getting fellow house guest Victoria Rafaeli drunk and raping her. The shocking statement no doubt will be hashed out after the six remaining house guests finish the game.
The incident that has everyone upset was when five of the house guests were hanging out talking about having a drink. The talk went from having a drink to getting Victoria (the only member of the house who wasn't present) a drink as well. The situation went downhill from there when Frankie Grande joked with other house guests about getting fellow house guest Victoria Rafaeli drunk and raping her.
The chatter around the conversation has everyone shocked, but viewers are more upset that the contestants didn't recognize that the language wasn't appropriate. It also showed a different side of Ariana Grande's brother shocked the viewers of the show as this very friendly celebrity revealed a shocking side of him in front of the cameras.
Last season people were upset when the contestants used language that wasn't necessary too. The difference between this time and last is Frankie is a star and this will impact his future in the entertainment business. Making comments about raping isn't cool and there is little justification for doing it in any situation. Hopefully CBS will point this out and remind viewers that this behavior isn't acceptable.

Employment status of parents, 2011
April 27, 2012
Among married-couple families with children, 95.8 percent had an employed parent in 2011, little changed from the prior year. The share of married-couple families where both parents worked edged up to 58.5 percent in 2011. The share of married-couple families where the father was employed (and the mother was not) was 30.4 percent; the share where the mother was employed (and the father was not) was 6.9 percent.
The mother was employed in 65.9 percent of families with children maintained by women with no spouse present in 2011. The father was employed in 79.6 percent of families maintained by men with no spouse present.
Mothers with younger children are less likely to be employed than mothers with older children. The mother was employed in 58.6 percent of families with children under 6 years old maintained by women with no spouse present in 2011.
These data are from the Current Population Survey. For more information, see "Employment Characteristics of Families — 2011" (HTML) (PDF), news release USDL-12-0771. Own children include sons, daughters, step-children, and adopted children. Not included are nieces, nephews, grandchildren, and other related and unrelated children.

Buffer zone (or setback): The distance between the transfer station or roadways and adjacent properties; often used for screening.
Convenience center (also citizen's drop-off or green box): Small transfer facilities used in low-volume or rural settings. These low-technology options often use rolloff boxes with an inclined ramp for cars and pickups. Bins can be included for recyclables that are source-separated.
Direct haul: The practice of sending collection vehicles (mostly garbage trucks) directly to the landfill without using transfer stations. When landfills were close to the waste sources, a residential collection vehicle customarily made two trips per day to the landfill.
Host community benefits: Specific benefits to the community selected for a proposed facility are listed in a Host Community Agreement. Benefits can include cash, free tipping, highway improvements, and tax reductions.
Household hazardous waste: Originating from residences, it consists of common discards such as paints, solvents, herbicides, pesticides, and batteries.
Loadout: The process of loading outbound transfer trailers with waste; loading trucks with recyclables destined for the market.
Queuing distance: The space provided for incoming trucks to wait in line.
Source-separated: Recyclables discarded and collected in containers separate from non-recyclable waste. Bins or blue bags are used to separate residential recyclables; separate boxes or containers are used for commercial/industrial discards (e.g., corrugated cardboard packaging, wood pallets). Source-separated wastes usually are delivered to a material recovery facility.
Surge pit: A pit usually made of concrete that receives waste from the tipping floor. Surge pits provide more space for temporary storage at peak times and allow for additional compaction of waste before loadout.
Tipping fee: The unit price charged at the disposal site or transfer station to accept waste, usually expressed as dollars per ton or dollars per cubic yard.
Tipping floor: The floor of the transfer station where waste is unloaded for inspection, sorting, and loading.
Walking floor: A technology built in to lightweight transfer trailers and used to unload waste at the disposal site. Moving panels "walk" the waste out of the trailer bed.
Waste diversion: The process of separating certain materials at the transfer station to avoid the cost of hauling and the tipping fee at the landfill.
Waste screening: Inspecting incoming wastes to preclude transport of hazardous wastes, dangerous substances, or materials that are incompatible with transfer station or landfill operations.

Liane Balaban
Toronto, Canada
"Dustin [Hoffman] told me that if the director wants you to do something, and it doesn't feel right, don't do it. Do what you want. It was nice to hear it from a vet."
- Liane Balaban
Remember when Keira Knightley played Natalie Portman's doppleganger in The Phantom Menace? It should have been Liane Balaban. If you happen to be Canadian (and about 2% of AskMen readers are), you first took notice of Balaban in the indie hit, The New Waterford Girl. If you happen to be everyone else, you know Balaban better from Definitely, Maybe, opposite Ryan Reynolds, and Last Chance Harvey.
Liane Balaban BiographyEvery little girl dreams of being discovered, either by a modeling scout or a casting agent. Sadly, it only happens to people as beautiful as Natalie Portman and Liane Balaban. Growing up in Toronto, Balaban originally wanted to be a journalist. A producer who knew her through her aunt and uncle asked Balaban to audition for what would become a surprise national treasure of an indie film in Balaban's home and native land -- The New Waterford Girl -- with Balaban in the lead role. Awards ensued, and so did more acting offers.
Liane Balaban followed up her breakthrough role with Saint Jude in 2000. The dark film wasn't well received by critics, but it did show that Balaban had range and could play more than just a frustrated teenager.

Aquaculture industry analysis and market ...
|Aquaculture industry analysis and market attractiveness of fish vaccines in India

|Executive Summary: Globally, aquaculture continues to be the fastest-growing animal-derived food producing sector. It has an average annual growth rate of 8.2% between 2004 and 2009 and is expected to outpace the capture fisheries and the demand increase for fish by the human population growth. The sector is comprised of 336 species: Carp dominates the aquaculture segment in the Asia/Pacific regions while Salmonids dominates in Europe, North and South America. China is the world leader in fish production while the developing countries together contributed greater than 90% of food fish to the world. From 2004 to 2009, an increase of 38% and 53% were reported for freshwater and marine fish production respectively. Therapeutic agents and drugs are being used in disease management of farmed fish and vaccines have gained prominence as an eco-friendly alternative. The target country in this research is India where inland aquaculture production has increased substantially between 2000 and 2010 from 1.55 million tons to 3.72 million tons and is forecasted to reach between 8-10 million tons by 2020. It is also expected that a 45% and 50% increase in horizontal (expansion by land area for aquaculture) and vertical (productivity per farm site) expansion is possible to meet the demand of 8-10 million tons by 2020. Two states, namely Andhra Pradesh (AP) and West Bengal (WB), are the leaders in inland aquaculture although their average yields were still only 60-80%. Some of the reasons for the lack of success in curbing economic losses and increasing fish productivity per hectare were attributed to disease outbreaks and the lack of commercial vaccine providers in India. In order to realize the potential of increasing the profits and productivity, scholars have suggested the use of vaccines to increase the sustainability of the Indian aquaculture segment. (Continued)

Good Morning Gentle Readers,
WTH do you think is going to pop out of this bottle when you pull the cork?
And good luck shoving the cork back in when it does. It'd be like that old joke about the 4H pig.
I dunno doc, all I can remember is that poor little monkey trying to put the cork back in.
Not sure the Sebastiani guys thought this through (or maybe they did?). The culture doesn't really identify pennywise with value and thrift anymore. Damn you Stephen King! You ruined it for all of us. OTOH, money talks and you-know-what walks. And those boys is laughing all the way to the bank.
Winemaker's Notes
The 2012 vintage shows textbook Petite Sirah color with an inky purple hue. The aromatics show notes of intense blueberry, dark cherry reduction, violets, and vanilla bean. Once again, the flavors start sweet and then get darker on the finish. This blend starts with blueberry pie, blackberry, sweet purple basil, and dark caramel. The wine finishes with dark molasses, toasted cedar plank, sweetened dried cherries, and mocha coffee.
It's not a bad Tuesday night pizza wine and it's generally under ten bucks American.

Many soccer fans will stick with EA's FIFA series as it offers a lot of fun and a lot of teams. For a more technically precise soccer (futbol) game, Konami offers its Pro Evolution Soccer, which now runs on Kojima's Fox Engine. This will be Konami's first dip into next generation soccer as the last effort on the previous generation consoles was quite a leap with the inclusion of the English Premier League. Now, PES 2015 looks to recreate the drama and tension that comes with vital matches.
'The pitch is ours' is the slogan Konami is gunning for with PES 2015. The game marks a return to core PES values that include total control, utterly responsive controls, and unrestricted gameplay. Thanks to the Fox Engine, players will have complete control over every pass, shot, or run due to the finely balanced gameplay that guarantees player satisfaction on the field. There will be a new system on how shooting and goal-keeping mechanics work. Precise aim and control over a shot's power along with unlimited shot styles will be at the fielder's disposal, while the goalkeeper will be able to take extremely close angles and an improved reaction time will limit the offense's shots. Realistic ball physics that were introduced last year will be much improved to include little knock-ons, daisy-cutters passes, and improved one-on-one dribbling mechanics. Below is the full list of features for PES 2015.

'The Pitch Is Ours!' – KONAMI Reveals Full Content List for PES 2015. The On-Field Focus Is Supported by Stunning Modes and Online and Offline Advances
El Segundo, CA – Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc. announced new details for PES 2015. Previously announcing its intent to elevate the game's on-field realism to all new levels, Konami has confirmed PES 2015 will offer both online and offline gameplay.
'The pitch is ours' is the ethos that dominates PES 2015. Through the combined efforts of the Tokyo and Windsor-based PES Productions Team, the aim has been to recreate the drama and tension associated with a vital match. PES 2015 marks a concerted return to core PES values of total control, utterly responsive controls and unrestricted gameplay, where users have complete control over how they play. Every pass, shot or run is finely balanced to give maximum player satisfaction within PES 2015's on-field action.
By looking at key facets of modern soccer, the PES Productions Team has completely reworked how the game performs key maneuvers. The shooting and goal-keeping mechanics benefit from a new system that allows precise aim and control over a shot's power and also unlimited shot styles. Similarly, the goalkeeper's intuitively close angles are capable of reacting to any shot in a number of ways. Passing and goal scoring have also been expanded, allowing for little knock-ons and powerful daisy-cutter passes that use new physics routines to ensure the ball realistically behaves. Close control also steps up the realism, with the user controls the positioning of a player, but with greater options of how to dribble into space or beat a marker.
Key On-Field Advances:
- Incredible Response Times: Lightning fast controls allow users to instinctively react to every movement when the ball is in play
- On The Ball Abilities: Take on defenders using each player's authentic dribbling skills, as opposed to relying on 'trick' moves. New skills include close control, responsive sprint and incorporating a much wider range of pace - from walking to sprinting
- Case for Defense: Users have complete control over when to close down, tackle or hold up play. Successful defending is based entirely on the decisions the user makes
New Generation Highlights
- Behavioral Patterns: PES 2015 now boasts a huge array of players that both look and play like their real-life counterparts. KONAMI has faithfully recreated over 1,000 players with authentic animations and playing styles across its extensive player roster. Teams automatically adopt their real-life game plan, whether it is counter-attacking, out wide playing or defending. Players' running and playing are authentic and they react emotionally as appropriate to fouls, goals or referee decisions – with their frame of mind actually affecting how they play
- Poetry in Motion: The individuality of players is further enhanced with seamless animations. No sacrifice to animation has been made in the pursuit of fast response, yet the movements flow effortlessly calculated in real-time and dependent on the player's position in relation to the ball and its speed. Additionally, player models are also carefully enhanced
- Bring the Noise: PES 2015 mirrors the atmosphere of a premier match. The crowd animations have been hugely enhanced, and the rhythm of a match is met with context-sensitive crowd effects and movements.
- Let There Be Light: All in-game elements from players to crowd and stadium now benefit from a single source of lighting that naturally brings the game to life
PES ID Advances:
- PES ID: Teams are designed to play as they do in real-life. Star players will work within this framework, and will be instantly recognizable via their runs and playing styles. Moreover, the world's greatest teams will move, attack and defend with authenticity
- Realistic Abilities: While the world's greatest players are capable of moments of incredible skill, PES 2015 focuses on their abilities as players and not their flicks and tricks. Beating an opposing player during an attacking play will require using pace and close control. Only the most technical users will get away with rainbow flicks. And, even then, it may not work every time
All-New Modes:
- myClub: Demanded by series fans, an extensive Master League Online overhaul allows players and managers to be added using accumulated GP points or via micro-transactions within club dealings. Additionally, agents are now used to meet player requirement criteria, while unhappy players can be detrimental to a team. Furthermore, Team Sprit plays a key role, as player/management and player/team dynamics affect a team's performance
- Live Updates: Weekly DLC updates will constantly update transfers and team line-ups across the English, French, Italian, Spanish and Brazilian leagues. Player data is also updated based on current performances every week, so if a player is on a goal-scoring streak, his stats will be boosted accordingly. Updates will be applied to online modes and will be optional within single-player mode
- Adaptable Match Environments: A good manager knows how to give his side every advantage. As managers, players can request the grass be left long to slow down short play, or wet to suit a passing style. Players can tailor any part of their stadiums to suit their needs
- Accurate Player Stats: After working with key community sites across the globe, the player parameter system for PES has been completely rebuilt with the most realistic player stats database
- Second Divisions Added: PES 2015 vastly expands scouting databases as it now features the second tier leagues from England, Spain, Italy and France for the first time in the series
- Role Control: Role Control allows three players to divide the defensive, midfield and attacking roles between them for more structured multiplayer action. This new mode means players govern their selected area and adds a new cooperative element to the game
- Real Managers: For the first time, real managers will be featured in PES 2015 across a number of European and Latin American teams
- New In-Game Currency: The GP system has been reintegrated. Earn GP within the new myClub mode and through unlocked in-game achievements
- Unlimited Edit Modes: Stadium editor is back. Players will build their home pitch by choosing pitch patterns, side line colors, seat colors and goal net design. Other edit options include Manager Editor, new player editing options, and base copies for all players. Also, to compliment the return of Stadium Editor, new realistic licensed stadiums have been added
- Presentation Overhaul: The menu system will be simpler and more effective. PES 2015 will also remember your preferred modes for quicker access
Online Modes:
- QuickMatch: Simpler ranking match-ups have been added to speed up online games
- Online Divisions: Accrue points in online matches across a season to aim for a promotion or face demotion
- Dedicated 11v11 Lobbies: Makes large-scale multi-player games more fluid and easy to set up
- Cheat Measures: A new courtesy system has been introduced to reduce online cheating
Additional Improvements:
- Master League: Revised structure for player growth, transfers, managers and auto-match settings. New cut-scenes and National Super Cups implemented have also been added
- Become A Legend: Training modes have been enhanced, and specific match simulations, new transfer and recruitment systems, including a second tier league, have been added
- Weather: Rain has been implemented
- Licensed Soundtrack: Featuring Cold War Kids, Calvin Harris, Imagine Dragons and Avicii
As you can see, a lot has gone into PES 2015. There will be a last generation version released, but the obvious version to choose will be the PlayStation 4 or Xbox One versions. New behavioral patterns, player and crowd animations, and a new lighting engine will bring futbol to life using the Fox Engine on generation 4 platforms. The game will also release on PC, and will be out on all major platforms on November 11, 2014. Players can dip into the demo which is due out on September 17th. Stay tuned for more information involving PES 2015.

PITTSBURGH -- In order to have a puncher's chance of knocking out the top-seeded Pittsburgh Penguins in the Eastern Conference Final, the Boston Bruins know they are going to have to weather some pretty intense barrages.
They not only survived the first prolonged flurry from Pittsburgh's vaunted offense in the opening minutes of Game 1, they pulled themselves off the mat and scored a telling blow with a perfectly timed counter punch, setting the stage for 3-0 victory in Game 1 at Consol Energy Center.
"I think they had pretty good start," said David Krejci, who landed the big punch for Boston with his game-opening goal at 8:23 of the first period. "They had some good chances. They played in [our] zone a lot. We were getting [into] some troubles. We couldn't get a puck deep, couldn't get a forecheck going.
"After we scored the first goal, it kind of turned around and we started playing in their zone a little more. In the second, third period, we played the way we play."
Krejci's goal came completely against the run of play.
After Boston took two of the first three shots, Pittsburgh ran off six straight shots and missed the net with at least three more. They were buzzing the zone repeatedly, pinning the Bruins in their own end and grinding on the top Boston defenders shift after shift.
Essentially, they were executing the same game plan that had run right over their first two opponents when it reached top gear. But, the Bruins refused to buckle.
Tuukka Rask made a few key saves, the goal posts intervened once or twice and the Penguins left some opportunities on the table by missing shots, often over the crossbar as they tried to pick the upper corners against the Boston goalie.
"I thought we had a handful of real good opportunities in the first period, a couple we misfired on, a couple we hit posts on," Pittsburgh coach Dan Bylsma said. "[Rask] made a couple really good saves. I think we didn't capitalize on the power-play chances that we had.
"Those were big opportunities, especially the one at the end of the second going into the third. We had opportunities. But it's a tougher, tighter game. They played well. It's going to be that way. You know, we have to certainly look at more ways to generate those opportunities, 'cause I think as the game went on, we got away from that and didn't have those."
The Penguins got away from their game plan because Krejci's first goal stung them. The second Krejci goal -- at 4:04 of the third period -- absolutely buckled the home team, leaving them staggering and open for further counter-attacks.
"We probably weren't too happy with the quality [of opportunities] we gave up," Pittsburgh defenseman Brooks Orpik said. "They were pretty patient and just waited for opportunities. They got a couple of odd-man rushes that they capitalized on and once they got the lead they played real well after that."
Suddenly, Pittsburgh's plan of getting in on the forecheck and cycling the puck was abandoned. Instead, the Penguins tried to charge head-long into the Maginot Line Boston was deploying at its own blue line. The results, as such, were predictable as Pittsburgh failed to gain entry into the zone on a consistent basis and turned over a ton of pucks in the neutral zone.
"I think in probably the latter, I'd say, 35 minutes of the game, we got away a little bit from our execution," Bylsma said. "Brought pucks back, tried to make plays through the neutral zone. They had all five guys back. We weren't able to get through that. Got away from how we execute.
"Not so much our execution not working, we just got away from a lot of that trying to generate a scoring chance instead of executing the way we need to to get behind their defense and get into the offensive zone. They did a good job of that."
The Bruins will do more of it in Game 2 Monday night. It is the way they have played all postseason and it is the way they know they will have to play to beat a team that was averaging more than four goals a game this postseason.
"We got caught into a run-and-gun type of game," Boston coach Claude Julien said of the game's first period. "I think we all know we're not a team that does well in those run-and-gun games. In the third period, we settled down, played more of our game. I think that's why we spent more time in our own end and managed the puck better."
And, therein rests the blueprint to winning this battle between hockey heavyweights for the Bruins.

Yesterday U.S. Sen. Kirk (R-Ill.) and Cook County State's Attorney Alvarez acknowledged the need for the formation of a local and federal partnership to help put an end to all forms of sex trafficking, their latest efforts will be to stop online websites from putting up online sex ads. One of their targeted online sites is Backpage.com and its "adult services" section that is notorious for advertising on behalf of child sex trafficking.
U.S. Sen. Kirk will introduce this week a bipartisan federal legislation, The Stop Advertising Victims of Exploitation (SAVE) Act which will allow the federal government to prosecute online websites that facilitates the victimization of children through commercial advertising. If passed State's Attorney Alvarez would be able to shut down such sites and if the owners of the site are convicted they could get up to five years in prison.
On August 20, 2010 Governor Quinn signed the Illinois Safe Children Act into law. The new law protected children in Illinois from being forced into the sex trade and gave law enforcement additional tools to fight the human-trafficking groups that exploit them. Since its passage, State's Attorney Alvarez has put into place an Human Trafficking Initiative and has formed an Human Trafficking Unit, which is staffed by specially trained prosecutors, investigators and victim specialists. The State's Attorney's office has charged 93 defendants with trafficking and related laws at the state level. Illinois ranks 5th in the nation when it comes to reports of potential human trafficking.

But the more scholarships you apply for the more likely you are to get rewarded.
Before signing up for some of the resources below you might consider creating an email address that you use exclusively for scholarship searches. This will help keep you organized. Make sure you keep the e-mail address professional!

The quality of the Steelcraft Bull Bar is excellent. My only request is for better installation instructions. It listed their bolt sizes (US) but failed to note their nut sizes (metric). Also, for my Yukon installation, I had to cut out some of the grill molding to get the unit to fit. In order to install this properly, I had to remove the from bumper to get access to the tow hooks. For the money I would definitely recommend this product. My only caveat is that it is not as easy an install as noted.

NeNe Leakes is coming to a new episode of "The Millionaire Matchmaker" but of course she doesn't need to find love. She is now remarried to her husband Gregg Leakes. On Thursday, Wet Paint shared about the upcoming episode and who she will be helping to find love.
NeNe actually goes to Patti on her own saying that she needed help finding love for her two bridesmaids. They both need love and they will be helping them to find it this week. NeNe heads out to LA and of course helps out. This was filmed before she was so busy on "Dancing With the Stars."
She will be actually setting up two women. They are 44-year-old Dawn Robinson and Diana Gowins, a 41-year-old mother of three. NeNe is not someone to be shy about things so she will tell them exactly like it is and what they are doing wrong when it comes to men. Hopefully she can help them to find love on the show. Viewers will just have to wait and see if it happens because spoilers for this episode are not out.
Bravo shared a big preview of this upcoming episode. In this clip, NeNe and Patti are talking over the computer. They are actually good friends and Patti went to her big wedding. Her bridemaids are gorgeous women, but they are just single and need to find love. Patti is on it and ready to help them out. The clip ends with NeNe saying she is headed out to LA.
Do not miss the big episode of "The Millionaire Matchmaker" with NeNe Leakes. This show normally airs on Thursday nights but this one will be on Sunday following "The Real Housewives of Atlanta." This should be the only match making going on during this episode. It will air on April 20 on Bravo which is the season finale.

What is Arbitration?
|In private, binding contractual arbitration:
|There is no court, no court judge, no jury, and as amazing as this sounds, NO RULES.
|A dispute is decided by one person, a private party, typically a lawyer.
|In California, the arbitrator's fees are paid by the employer, NOT by your taxes.
|Since there are few rules in private arbitration "anything can happen."
|The decision rendered by a private arbitrator is "99.9 %" binding and neither party can appeal the result. Even "an error of law apparent on the face of the [decision] that causes substantial injustice does not provide grounds for [an appeal]." California Supreme Court in the Moncharsh decision (1992). In other words, if the arbitrator adds 2 + 2 and says that totals 5, too bad, his or her decision cannot be appealed to the courts to correct the error.
|NOTE: If there exists an arbitration agreement between the parties, both parties may choose to ignore the agreement and proceed with court litigation. Why would one choose to ignore enforcing an agreement to arbitrate? One or both parties may conclude that the case is too complex or extensive to allow or trust it to go through the less rigid and unpredictable arbitration process. In a situation where both sides desire court litigation, neither side makes a peep that an agreement to arbitrate exists. In effect, both sides have implicitly " modified" the agreement to arbitrate by proceeding to court.
If there exists an agreement to arbitrate and one side wants to avoid arbitration,
the other party
can petition the court to compel enforcement of the arbitration
|WHOA... I Never Agreed to Arbitrate!
Oh yes you did. Generally, without your knowledge or understanding [but nevertheless with your "consent"], you most likely have agreed to arbitrate disputes and claims, in more situations than you think. You can be sure that your insurance carriers, bank, Internet Service Provider, telephone company, cable TV, software companies, etc., have all obtained your "agreement" to arbitrate claims. Don't believe this?
Look through any consumer contract, insurance policy, etc. that you have signed or been given by the companies providing services to you. The agreement to arbitrate is in there, typically buried somewhere deep in the papers, folder, mail insert, policy, application, contract, license, or other materials.
|How Does Employment Arbitration Come About?
In the employment context you can "agree" to arbitration in a number of ways:
You apply for a job and the employer requires that as a condition to getting the job you must sign a document [or contract] agreeing that all employer/employee disputes will be resolved through private, binding arbitration. Or.... the agreement to arbitrate may be one clause on the employment application, or perhaps on one page in an employee handbook. You really need the job, so you sign the arbitration agreement. According to the appeal courts, you have just voluntarily agreed to contractual arbitration of all disputes.
You have been happily working on the job for six years. Today, Human Resources tells you to sign a document [in reality a contract] agreeing that all employer/employee disputes will be resolved through private, binding arbitration. You are told that if you do not sign the contract, you will be fired. Fearing being fired, you sign it. You have just voluntarily agreed to contractual arbitration of all disputes.
You are busy working away on an important project. An HR representative interrupts your work, hands you a form and says "sign this document, just another form." The rep does not explain the form to you. You are too busy to ask questions, so you sign it. The form you just signed is an Agreement to Arbitrate carefully prepared by your employer's lawyers. Since the form was clear, since you could have asked questions, and since you could have retained your own lawyer to review the document, you have just agreed to binding arbitration of all disputes.
|OK, I'm Stuck With Arbitration: How Does It Work?
Since there are no rules, one can only generalize how things might work. Keep in mind that employers have overreached in this area and successfully implemented "rules" or "procedures" that make arbitration difficult for the employee or otherwise "stacks the deck" in the employer's favor. While legislators and courts have dealt with trying to deal with unfair tactics, time will tell if the "anything goes" aspect of arbitration will be the exception rather than the rule.
First, the employee must request to arbitrate within the time limit
specified by the employer. What time limit? Well, consider that a
federal appeals court recently upheld the employer requiring the
employee to notify it within 6 months of any claims, otherwise the right
to pursue a claim is lost. So, this means that hundreds of years
of precedent on statutes of limitation [which all lawyers know about and
which generally range from one to four years] can be rendered
inapplicable by the employer obtaining the employee's
"consent" that lesser limitations can apply. So what's
the time limits? Six, eight, ten months, who knows.
More on Employment Law and Arbitration:
Federal and state appellate courts have over time promoted, favored and ruled that employers and employees can "agree" to resolve all employment law disputes through private, binding, and nonappealable private arbitration. Over the years, the appeal court battles pitted employers who wanted disputes arbitrated against employees who have argued that private binding arbitration is unjust and favors employers. Employers have trumpeted the efficiency, certainty, economy and finality of arbitration. Employees have argued that arbitration cuts off their rights by railroading them through a system biased in favor of the employer.
Employers want private arbitration because:
While an employer cannot "buy" justice in a real court, private arbitration provides numerous opportunities for the employer to do so.
Business favors business: Arbitrators are private, for-profit businesses or individuals, employers stand a better chance of getting an arbitrator who favors their side [statistics have shown employers give repeat business to arbitrators who have ruled favorably for employers and avoided arbitrators who have awarded plaintiffs money].
Blacklisting: Statistics have shown that arbitrators who have awarded employees significant damages are "blacklisted" by employers. During the arbitration selection process, employers attempt to avoid selection or appointment of the blacklisted arbitrators. Arbitrators know this. Query: will the arbitrator award the employee much money knowing employers will not use him or her again because the arbitrator ruled in the employee's favor or gave the employee "big money?" As an arbitrator how would you rule when knowing that repeat business, NOT your conscience, is what will pay for the tuition, the house, food and car?
Limiting Proof: A private arbitrator is allowed to decide what discovery will take place in a case [again, "discovery" is the process through which each side obtains evidence to prove or defend a case]. Arbitrators typically severely limit the time to complete and methods of discovery. Since an employee has the burden of proof in a case, most time and method limitations weaken the employee's ability to prove a case. What follows is that the employee will lack sufficient evidence to support his or her claims; this typically results in the employee losing the case due to lack of proof.
Note: As a first line of defense against an employee's case, the employer's lawyers will argue that your case is baseless, so discovery should be extremely limited. The employer's motive in making the baseless argument [which is how they describe all employee cases] is to limit discovery so the employee cannot obtain evidence to prove a case. Since most arbitrators believe there should be some limitation on discovery, the employer's "baseless" comments tends to lead to significant limitations on discovery. Remember, the general rule is that limitations on discovery always hurts the party with the burden of proof in a case.
Low Awards: Arbitrators statistically award employees far less damages than juries. At best, an arbitrator might "split things down the middle" rather than award full damages the employee might be due. Lastly, arbitrators are less inclined to award punitive damages to punish and make an example of employers.
Secrecy: Private, binding arbitration is, well, PRIVATE. In titillating or embarrassing cases, employers are less likely to suffer public shame. Since private arbitration proceedings are not open to the public [e.g., no news media access], business or organizations can avoid other cases from coming forward. What is so bad about this, you ask. Well, think about all the harm caused to innocents by the Catholic Church engaging in schemes to keep private the sexual abuse by its clergy. Employees in the workplace will continue to suffer in a system that allows employers to avoid public accountability.
Employees over the years have:
Unsuccessfully challenged the supposed "voluntariness" of binding arbitration agreements by arguing that the employees are being forced to arbitrate.
Unsuccessfully argued that arbitration agreements are not voluntary when the employer says "sign this or you are fired" or "sign this if you want a job here."
Unsuccessfully argued that injustices occur because private arbitration decisions are not subject to appeal [for example, even when the arbitrator clearly made a mistake of law].
Successfully stopped, to a limited degree, employers attempts to use arbitration clauses to avoid all liability for any unlawful action [including discrimination], to strip employees of all rights, to limit employee damages to a few months wages, or to otherwise stack the deck in favor of the employer.
In 2001-2002, the end result is that subject to very few exceptions, most employment law disputes will be subject to private contractual arbitration [in cases where the employer has required the employee to "consent" to arbitrate all disputes]. In other words, predictions are that in the near future, as more and more employers require employees to "agree" to binding arbitration, just about all employment disputes in California will be subject to private, binding arbitration. To put it another way, after years of battles, the employers have won the war.
Comments From Atop The Soapbox:
our opinion, the lack
accountability and appeal [or judicial review] of allegedly bad arbitration decisions is
perhaps the most ludicrous aspect of forcing employment disputes into
supposed voluntary binding arbitration.
So what is wrong with grossly erroneous binding arbitration decisions
not being subject to review? Well, consider that there has been in place for 200+ plus years a system to correct
errors made by judges. If experienced, accountable and regulated
judges have made mistakes, it does not make sense to conclude that fewer or no mistakes will be
made by less-sophisticated, unaccountable, and for-profit private arbitrators. This being the
situation, how is it fair to force employees into private, binding
arbitration with no right to review of erroneous decisions made by
private arbitrators?

Evan Rachel Wood was sued because she dropped out of a movie. She was scheduled to be part of the "10 Things I Hate About You" sequel but she is no longer doing the film. On Friday, NY Daily News shared that after Rachel accepted $300,000 as a retainer for the movie she decided to drop out.
They want a lot from her. Reports are that they are hoping to get so much money because of $20 million in lost profits, $500,000 in lost financing costs, $6 million in lost investment, and $5 million in damages.
Her rep spoke out though saying, "The lawsuit is preposterous and simply a bullying tactic from financially troubled producers. The production shut down in February 2013 when the producers ran out of money. Even after that, Evan agreed to resume production in November 2013, by which time the producers said they would have cleared up their issues."
"However, the producers still could not get their act together, nor did they pay Evan money that was owed. Repeated subsequent promises by the producers to resume production and pay Evan also turned out to be false. Enough is Enough. The producers, not Evan, have breached contract."
At this time, it is unknown if Evan Rachel Wood will be able to get them to come up with an agreement or not. $30 million i s a pretty big low suit.

GMC raising money for footbridgeFebruary 04,2013
GMC raises cash
for a footbridge
WATERBURY CENTER The Green Mountain Club has announced a $50,000 challenge match donation for the planned Long Trail footbridge over the Winooski River.
The club has already raised more than $550,000 from private donors to support the project. This, in addition to the longstanding support of and land protection efforts by the state, has brought the club to within $115,000 of its fundraising goal.
An anonymous donor has offered to match every donation to the project between now and the end of August, up to $50,000.
GMC officials said the club has sought to establish a safe, appropriate and permanent route for the Long Trail over the Winooski River in Bolton since 1912, when the club established the first stretch of the trail from Mount Mansfield to the river.
The club expects to break ground on this project by June and complete it in the fall.MORE IN Central VermontRutland County Amateur Radio Operators conducted a ham Field Day and amateur radio open house...

SMU Defeats Stanford to Win Clemson Invitational
CLEMSON, SC - Mary Ann Means scored the game's only goal in leading unranked Southern Methodist to a 1-0 win over 16th-ranked Stanford for the Championship of the Clemson Women's Soccer Invitational Tournament.
Though Stanford drove 12 shots at SMU, none found their target. The game was a scoreless draw after regulation time. The first overtime period settled nothing. But in the second overtime period, Mary Ann Means found the back of the net with a 28-yard drive that went over the head of Stanford goal keeper Erin Bryla.
With the loss Stanford falls to 3-2 on the season, while SMU improves to 5-1.

Rob Green says he can be a good assistant too. The 55 year old football coach has been a head coach at Northeastern Oklahoma where he coached New Orleans tight end Jeremy Shockey. He was a head high school coach at Piedmont and Putnam City West. He was an assistant at Missouri Southern where he coached Denver's Rod Smith. He's coached the 24 year old Southwest Air passing camp in Oklahoma City where he coached St. Louis quarterback Sam Bradford on multiple occasions. But when looking for something new after the football season at Piedmont, Green came across a job just across the familiar Sooner State border. He contacted head football coach Wade Standley who quickly helped land Green in Liberal. Standley would later take Norman North head coaching job but newly named head coach Cliff Abbott is anxious to make "Greener" pastures for the Redskin offense. Green says he's excited about coaching offense at LHS. "We'll be a spread offense but we'll be a multiple offense," Green said from his office adjacent to Powerhouse Gym. "We'll line up with two backs one play, empty the next play, four wide receivers, or two tight ends...etc. The thing we want to do is give the defense a different look every play by using substitution patterns and personnel changes. We will be a no huddle, high tempo, high octane kind of offense."
Although he initially anticipated joining Standley's staff, he says he has no reservations about carrying on with Cliff Abbott. "It doesn't take very long to realize that Cliff Abbott is a Redskin through and through," Green said. "I think that's one of the biggest qualities a person can have is just undying loyalty to a place or a person. There's no doubt in my mind Cliff Abbott will do a tremendous job for Liberal High School."
So far, only Standley and Joe Price who is the offensive coordinator at GCCC are officially leaving the staff from last year. Former North Texas assistant and two year LHS assistant Duke Attebury plans on staying. Abbott also has hopes of bringing former Angry Red standouts back to the staff like Caleb Cline and Jason Dunlap.

The CU Cycling team is going into the 2012 season with a new program, new coaching staff, and a renewed drive to win the National Collegiate cycling title.
The Stazio Criterium being held on March 11 is the student teams' biggest fundraiser – unlike most local events, all profits raised from the entry fees at this race will go towards helping the team cover the cost of racing in the 2012 Rocky Mountain Collegiate Cycling Conference. The support of the Boulder cycling community is needed to help put CU Cycling back on the top of the podium and reinstate its claim as the number 1 collegiate cycling program in the US.
Through the hard work of the student officers who run the non-profit team, permits and licenses have been acquired to bring back this legendary course to the Boulder cycling community. As the first race since the re-integration of the ACA with USA Cycling, the CU Cycling team is expecting a large turnout. With field limits set at 125 riders per category, registration at www.prerace.com is advised.
With the addition of FastCat coaching, the team has built a strong foundation going into the spring road season. The A team, a strong group of almost 20 riders, will be racing not only to win the Rocky Mountain conference, but also to gain a coveted spot on the Nationals team which will take on other colleges around the country in Ogden Utah this May.
Head coach Frank Overton subjected all the potentials to physiological testing at the beginning of the year, and believes that the new order and structure in the program will pay dividends not just this year, but for many years to come. The unique structure of collegiate cycling means that freshmen will have the chance to ride and race alongside more experienced students this year, and move up through the program during their 4 years at CU Boulder.
The CU Team will be on the roads around Colorado in their redesigned Black and Gold kits this spring. Come out and support us on March 11 and open your racing season in style!

My 14 yr old son has ADHD and has been kept back for the 3rd time! Is there anything I can do about getting him in the right grade? He's in the 6th!
My 14 year old has ADHD and has been having behavior issues since Kindergarden. I've been bringing him to a psychiatrist and he has been taking medications daily. He have been held back in the 1st grade in New Orleans, then the 5th grade in St. John parish (twice but they pushed him up because it's not legal to make a child repeat the same grade) and now the 6th grade. I had paid $550 for a summer school and he made a D in English and the principal saidit wasn't high enough for a promotion. It's upsetting that the schools out here don't try to help my child. I called several places and learned that I can request a board level committee meeting to get him into a Section 504 program, but he still will remain in the 6th grade. It isn't fair! The schools should have told me about these programs early on and I'm just learning about them! Now that he's 14, he feels like a failure and doesn't want to go to school. They are hurting the children when this happens! I am stressed out and hurt! Any suggestions will be appreciated.In Topics: School and Academics, Learning disabilities

NEW HAVEN, Conn. (AP) -- A Miami man who pleaded guilty to the theft of about $90 million in prescription drugs from a warehouse in Connecticut has pleaded guilty to similar thefts in Florida, Kentucky and Virginia.
Amed Villa pleaded guilty in federal court in New Haven on Monday. He was charged with stealing more than $20 million worth of cigarettes, cellphones, inhalers and multimedia tablets from warehouses in the three states.
Villa, a Cuban citizen, pleaded guilty in July to theft and conspiracy charges stemming from his participation in the theft at pharmaceutical company Eli Lilly & Co. in 2010.
His brother, Amaury, has pleaded not guilty in Connecticut to the Eli Lilly heist.

We're not sure when the last time you were in a Toys 'R' Us was - we hope for your sake it was a long time ago, when it seemed like a happy place full of things you wanted as opposed to a dark hellhole full of screaming children - but they're not making toys like they used to. There's certainly nothing as cute and simple as this Plan Toys Push Along Duck ($38), but what can you expect from a store that sells Bratz?
