Kentucky New Era
By Chip Hutcheson
Times Leader
Since we're a little more than a month away from the end of the year, it's not surprising that some of those year-end stories are beginning to hit the news.
Last month, Village of Lebanon marked a milestone of sorts. Four of its residents have reached at least 100 years old, and two of those residents, Ethel Mae Bradshaw and Chloe Mattingly, shared some thoughts about their century on Earth.
One hundred years ago, Woodrow Wilson was the President of the United States. Charlie Chaplin's movie "The Tramp" was released. The world's first successful blood transfusion took place in Brussels.
Runner's high: a feeling of euphoria that is experienced by some individuals engaged in strenuous running, which is associated with the release of endorphins by the brain.
I've experienced the "runner's high" more times than I can count.
It's real. And it's fantastic.
By Patricia Krausman
University of Kentucky Small Business Development Center Director
While the Thanksgiving Day rush for door buster deals may focus on national stores, small businesses are certainly a big part of the holiday shopping mix.
While the Fourth of July is understandably the most American holiday, Thanksgiving can at least lay claim to being the first.
Its origin, as even our youngest students can tell us, began long before our independence, and we're now just seven years away from the 400th anniversary of when the Pilgrims and Native Americans held a three-day feast.
Last week, the Department of Education released its latest annual report on school safety, a study that gives the public a truly comprehensive look at the discipline issues our students, teachers, staff and administrators face.
Overall, the news is good. Nearly 90 percent of the 660,000 students who attend public schools were not involved in any infractions in 2013-14, and of the remainder, only a small percentage was engaged in violent behavior.
By Steve Downs
2014 KCA President
Fellow cattlemen - we are in a unique position to invest in our future in a way that will have a profound effect on our livelihood for years to come. On Nov. 20, a referendum will be held, asking you to support an additional dollar check-off for our Kentucky producers. This investment in our future will help ensure that, as cattlemen, we are best positioned to maintain our prosperity even in the face of the challenges that could lie ahead.
Months ago, a concerned grandmother came to my office.
It was a Monday morning, and I was busy, but I could tell by the distressed look on her face that she needed someone to talk to.
She proceeded to tell me about a situation involving her son and his custody battle involving his children. The court had ruled that he could only see his children every other weekend.
She was devastated.
Up to that point, she had been extremely involved in her grandchildren's lives, and she was convinced this was going to change things dramatically.

Rajesh Khanna's marriage with Dimple failed because of his downfall?
Rumour has it that Khanna could not accept his failure. He took his success for granted. So, when his films started getting flopped, he became very short tempered. It is said that he used to vent out his frustration on Dimple. Dimple, who left her career for him, was unable to cope with his this kind of behaviour. When she felt that she can't take it more, she decided to leave Khann'a house with their two daughters Twinkle and Rinke Khanna.
The biggest reason for their failed marriage was Khanna's addiction to alcohol and his strange obsession with power. He never accepted his downfall and the reality, because of this the actor was left alone in isolation.

Corporate Advocacy Program™
A few weeks later I got another bill from them admonishing me for not paying. Checked with my Dr. who said there is no charge for transfer of medical records when she refers me to a specialist and not to pay.
I called HealthPort who said the Dr's practice would have to call them to cancel the bill. My Dr's office manager did call them and then told me the bill was cancelled.
Today I get another bill from HealtPort. They know i am 70 years old and must think I have Alzheimers and will eventually pay them. This is a scam and this company is very shoddy.

HealthPort Ripoff
AUTHOR: PhoenixRising - (United States of America)
SUBMITTED: Wednesday, June 15, 2011POSTED: Wednesday, June 15, 2011
Once I became a patient I was asked to signed an in house form listing all my previous Dr's so that all my records could be transferred. I was also asked to to sign a release to RHMO which is an online medical records site that every Dr's I saw used.
I used this online site for years and never had an issue of paying for records or transfers as most Dr's. just hit a link on a PC and everything was there in seconds.
Somehow this company called HealthPort got a hold of the first paper form I signed which listed all my previous Dr's names on and decided to send me a packet asking me send them a check so I could get copies of my medical record. I didn't need copies from a secondary site so I set the packet aside and thought nothing of until I began getting bills in the mail to pay for medical records transfers.
After three separate bills I began calling the company only to get hung up on several times. When I finally got thru a real person I explained my situation to the representative over and over again. I am disabled and on SSD which barely covers basic bills and co-pays for medications. After 45 minutes she finally agreed to erase the smallest bill off of my account and take me out of collections.
Pretty sad when a scammer is so desperate for money that they steal dr's files and then threaten to put disabled people in collections.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

Best Uses
If you over pronate in your step you do not want this boot. There is no support and even with an insole insert I do not get a good walk. I found my knees bother me when I wear these boots. They are cute though.
Best Uses
I love these boots for everyday wear and travel. The most comfortable boots I've ever purchased. I would love to have them in black, but they are not available in my size.......so Duluth, please restock these boots in black in a size 8 and you will get an order from me immediately!
Best Uses
these boots are fantastic. They are like walking on a cloud. They are true to size. Planning to order another pair.
Best Uses
I wore these as a work boot. The comfort was awesome. The draw back is they did not hold up. Now I am looking for comfort and durability.
Best Uses
I bought these boots for fall and early winter use with medium weight wool sox and they are perfect. I have problems with Morton's neuroma in my left foot and they are great. The slightly wide toe box does the trick. They are well padded and so comfortable. Have only worn them once and after many hours of shopping and walking on concrete I had no pain and was comfortable. I suspect the crepe type sole isn't the ticket for icey conditions and they can't be resoled but I'd buy them again in a heartbeat.

The Spice Girls and Backstreet Boys Are NOT Touring Together, Everything Is Terrible
Everyone deserves privacy during this difficult time.
Bad news, everyone. Are you sitting down? Make sure you're sitting down or your sorrow might overcome you and cause you to collapse in a heap on the floor. Here it is: the Spice Girls are not touring with the Backstreet Boys, as previously reported.
Though Brian Littrell allegedly told The Sun that a tour was "maybe" in the works, a Backstreet Boys spokesperson confirmed to MTV News that the rumors are absolutely not true, thus crushing the dreams of every woman on Earth born between 1985 and 1994.
It's OK, world. We'll get through this together. Just put on Spice and dance the pain away.

Angus King on Government Reform
Independent Former ME Governor
By the same token, everyone (on both sides of the civil rights debate) understood that all the state's rights-Tenth Amendment-tyranny of the 1950s federal government rhetoric wasn't being deployed in the service of some abstract principle of federalism: it was all about a state's right to maintain segregation. Period.
And now we're hearing it all again.
A: Yes.
A: Yes.
Q: Corporate?
A: Yes.
Q: Do you support requiring full and timely disclosure of campaign finance information?
A: Yes.
Q: Do you support imposing spending limits on state level political campaigns?
A: Yes. King adds, "I hope to increase education funding, subject to revenue limitations."
Congressional Summary:Fair Elections Now Act--Amends 1971 FECA with respect to:
Statement of support for corresponding Senate bill: (Sunlight Foundation) Now we bring you the Senate Campaign Disclosure Parity Act, a bill that should probably be the least controversial of all. S. 375 would simply require senators and Senate candidates to file their public campaign finance disclosure reports electronically with the Federal Election Commission, the way House candidates and presidential candidates have been filing for over a decade. A version of the bill has been introduced during every congress starting in 2003 (!) yet it has been blocked repeatedly, a victim of political football.
Sen. Jon Tester, D-Mont., has introduced the most recent version, which would ensure that paper Senate campaign finance reports are a thing of the past. But even with 50 bipartisan cosponsors, the bill faces an uphill battle. Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky, has repeatedly prevented the bill from coming to the Senate floor. We won't be deterred--as long as McConnell continues to block the bill, we'll continue to highlight that his intransigence results in delayed disclosure of vital, public campaign finance information, not to mention wasting $500,000 in taxpayer money annually. Eventually, we'll win.
Congressional Summary:<
Supporters reasons for voting YEA:Rep. Sarbanes: Big money warps Congress' priorities and erodes the public's trust in government. This bold new legislation returns voice and power back to the American people:
Opponents reasons for voting NAY:(Bill Moyers, Feb. 19, 2015): This citizen engagement strategy, particularly when used to court small donors, is not without its critics. Small donors, at least in the current system, often tend to be political ideologues. That trend leaves many asking: won't moving to small donors just empower extremists? Sarbanes counters, if Congress changes the political fundraising rules, they will also change the calculus for "the rational small donor who right now isn't going to give $25 because they've figured out that it's not going to matter." The prospect of a 6-to-1 match might very well impact how those less ideologically extreme potential donors think about political giving.

'Dark Star Safari': Get Me Out of Africa
By RAND RICHARDS COOPER
Published: March 30, 2003
To the writer, said Ralph Waldo Emerson, ''a man is the faculty of reporting, and the universe is the possibility of being reported.'' Among travel writers, no one better fits this bill than Paul Theroux, who for decades has been reporting the universe with eyes and ears so acute they seem Darwinian adaptations to the genre. Theroux, of course, is also a novelist, and as a travel writer his guiding lights are novelists: Joyce's and Chekhov's love of the quotidian; ''the humor and the dialogue'' of Trollope; ''the good intentions and bad temper'' of his mentor, V. S. Naipaul. Theroux has a skeptic's instinct for deflating myths, bringing irony to an essentially romantic form. In ''The Great Railway Bazaar,'' for instance, we board the fabled Orient Express to the sound of Theroux's cabinmate filling the chamber pot at midnight. A genius of the witty insult -- ''At my lowest point, when things were at their most desperate and uncomfortable, I always found myself in the company of Australians, who were like a reminder that I'd touched bottom'' -- Theroux regales us with the humor of ill humor, maintaining a tricky balance of crankiness, curiosity and charm.
''Dark Star Safari,'' his latest travel book, charts the author's arduous journey through Africa, from Cairo to Cape Town, by truck, bus, ferry, train and bush taxi. Theroux sets out ''hoping for the picturesque,'' and at first finds plenty of it. The pyramids of Sudan leave him feeling humbled and uplifted. In the walled city of Harar, a Maltese nun cooks him a gourmet meal and beguiles him with tales of the lover she left for God. An Ethiopian, once a political prisoner, recounts how in his cell he translated ''Gone With the Wind'' on tiny sheets of cigarette-pack foil -- 3,000 in all -- and later published the translation.
Soon, however, the trip becomes a nightmare. Danger dogs Theroux at every turn, from armed Somali highwaymen in Kenya to land mines in Mozambique. Beggars importune, disease and squalor press in. A man with a runny nose sells oranges, ''handing the snot-smeared fruit to customers.'' Appalled by ''the filth, the dirt, the litter,'' beset by ''fungal infections, petty extortion, mocking lepers, dreary bedrooms, bad food, exploding bowels,'' Theroux narrates a Job-like ordeal during which he is ''abused, terrified, stranded, harassed, cheated, bitten, flooded, insulted, exhausted, robbed, lied to, browbeaten, poisoned, stunk up and starved.''
That's not exactly a journey readers will want to duplicate. Actually, Theroux himself seems mostly miserable. The tricky balance that has served him so well in the past eludes him here. He doesn't just grump about people, he lets them have it, as if trying to out-Naipaul Naipaul. In Malawi, he berates a man begging in the street, demanding why he doesn't ask for work instead of a handout. In Kenya, when a truck he's riding in is stalled for repairs and two passing American aid workers refuse him a ride, Theroux leans in the window of their Land Rover and blasts away. ''If we see you broken down or in trouble by the side of the road,'' he says, adding an unprintable oath, ''we're going right past you.''
Throughout ''Dark Star Safari,'' Theroux is particularly venomous on the subject of aid workers. There's a respectable philosophical position in here somewhere: namely, that foreign aid sponsors corruption and saps local initiative. But Theroux's critique of Africa seems more like anger in search of an argument. Aid workers are ''oafish self-dramatizing prigs'' who ''turn African problems into permanent conditions.'' Trains don't run on time, or at all. Roads and buildings decay. The only thriving industry in Kenya is the coffin-building trade. Indeed, Kenya strikes him as ''a country that seemed terminally ill,'' and Mozambique has ''the haunted look of a desperate distant future, an intimation of how the world would end.''
Only southern Africa -- white man's Africa -- escapes Theroux's cutting judgments. Despite ''its fearsome reputation for political mayhem,'' Harare seems orderly and safe, ''the most pleasant African city I had seen so far,'' while white Zimbabwean farmers exemplify the can-do attitude Theroux finds lacking among so many black Africans. He visits the farm of a man named Peter Drummond, caught in a bitter struggle with African squatters bent on dispossessing him. After admiring the self-sufficiency of Drummond's spread, Theroux visits one of the squatters, dismissing the man's efforts and mocking his plea that someone -- the government or Drummond himself -- should help him by providing seed, fertilizer and a tractor. ''It was like a thief,'' comments Theroux, ''who, having stolen a coat, insisted that his victim have the coat dry-cleaned and tailored to fit.''
That a vexed history of colonial land appropriation lies behind the demagogic land-grab by Zimbabwe's president, Robert Mugabe, doesn't interest Theroux. Indignation has narrowed his observations. At a dinner party in Malawi, when an African bureaucrat makes excuses for his country's poverty, Theroux rages inwardly and ends up ''feeling so irritable I thought I was experiencing the symptoms of an illness.'' Africa literally makes him sick.

Linux Supercomputer Roadrunner Takes Petaflops Hurdle
The Roadrunner supercomputer developed by IBM for the Department of Energy at the Los Alamos National Laboratory is the first to take the Petaflops hurdle of 1.026 billion operations per second.
The hybrid machine running on a Red Hat Linux-based operating system easily outpaces the previous leader in the Top500 list of the world's fastest supercomputers, BlueGene/L (478 Teraflops) again by IBM, which achieves just half of Roadrunner's performance Roadrunner will mainly be used for military research into nuclear weapons, with some capacity also being dedicated to researching the human genome and to weather simulations. The hybrid machine combines the Cell processor designed for the PlayStation with AMD x86 processors, with no less than 6948 dual-core Opteron chips installed. 12,960 Cell processors form part two of the machine, which has no less than 80 terabytes of memory, residing in 288 BladeCenter racks and occupying a floor space of 6000 square meters. The supercomputer is comparatively frugal with respect to power requirements, clocking up 376 million operations per watt. IBM expects Roadrunner to take one of the top notches in the list of green supercomputers. The investment in the project was around US$ 100 m says IBM.

NY paper sues Putnam Co. for pistol permit records
WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. (AP) – A suburban New York newspaper has sued Putnam County to compel it to release its pistol permit records.
The Journal News says it sued Thursday after the county denied two Freedom of Information requests and a subsequent appeal.
The newspaper first requested information from Westchester, Rockland and Putnam counties following the Newtown, Conn., shooting massacre. It made another request after the state passed a gun control law allowing permit holders to apply to keep their names and addresses private.
Putnam County officials declined to comment on the lawsuit because they had not yet been served with the papers. But County Executive MaryEllen Odell told the newspaper she's confident the county will prevail.
Westchester and Rockland counties provided the information to the newspaper, which published a clickable map on its website identifying residents there with handgun permits.

ZOMBIE THREAD ALERT: This thread hasn't been posted on for a while.
Tell me about Southborough(4 Posts)
We are seriously thinking of relocating to T Wells this year (currently in London) We have one DD 10 months and will be commuting to London. I just wanted to get an idea of the different areas of Tunbridge Wells. In and ideal world we would like to be in the centre but have seen a gorgeous house in Southborough and looks like you get more for your money there.
How does it feel living there does it have its own community? Do you still feel part of Tunbridge Wells? Is it good for schools?
Any info on the areas of T Wells would be greatly received
Southborough is on the periphery of TW and is cheaper for a reason as it's less sought after. The common is lovely but it's really a ribbon development between TW and Tonbridge. That said, the school is rated outstanding by Ofsted. Tesco have applied for pp to build a very large store backing onto the playing fields in Southborough which will remove some of the green land and will create even MORE traffic on the A26 through S'boro, and may mean that more of the independent shops close. Apart from a very good butcher, I personally don't spend any time walking around in S'boro - just spend hours sitting in traffic going through it on the A26!
It depends what you want really - if you want to be in the thick of it, then I'd be looking closer in to the town itself - where you can walk to the amenities. But, given the age of your daughter, and if you want to go down the state school route, you need to be VERY careful where you live as catchments are shrinking and there is a huge problem with a lack of primary school places.....
The 'Village' and the area around The Grove and the MLS are probably the most sought after but are really like a little London - most people are London 'expats'. So if you are looking for something a bit different, then that maybe not what you want. St James and St John's are more mixed, Culverden gets you bigger houses with gardens, but you need to be aware that there is a huge lack of primary places and you have to live close to BD school to have a chance of getting in. Areas to avoid are Sherwood, Broadwater, High Brooms.
HTH a bit.
My understanding is that you need to live v close to S'borough School if you want to stand a chance of getting in....so check catchments with the school.
Good park though in S'borough....
Hope this helps a teeny bit!
Southborough has one advantage over central TW, which is that you can drive to Tonbridge and catch the train from there. Tonbridge has two lines running through it up to London, the Hastings and Ramsgate lines. So if you're on the north side of Southborough it'll be easier to get to Tonbridge station than TW.
Rusbridge bakery in Southborough (just near the common) is excellent.

Welcome to Your Alaska National Parks
Alaska is expansive and diverse. Its magnitude is difficult to comprehend, but its rewards are many. For climate and topography, the "Great Land" constitutes a virtual subcontinent. Within this vast landscape, Alaska hosts 15 national parks, preserves, monuments and national historical parks. Additionally, the National Park Service plays varying roles in the administration of 13 national wild rivers, two affiliated areas and a national heritage area. Alaska is also home to 49 National Historic Landmarks and 16 National Natural Landmarks. As stewards of these vast resources and partners with others involved in conservation efforts, Park Service employees work closely with communities to extend the benefits of national parks and NPS programs. We've been involved in designing sustainable trails, working in schools, providing technical expertise in historic building restoration, and many more activities. Together the park areas and programs we manage in Alaska represent a natural and cultural legacy spread across a unique American landscape. Whether you're planning a trip to Alaska or visiting virtually, the Alaska Region of the National Park Service can help. Welcome!

Selling something at a higher price than somewhere else is not in itself a ripoff. If it were, Nieman Marcus would be out of business.
If your report were taken at face value, any place that doesn't charge Walmart prices is a ripoff.

Dr Welcome is the first Dr I ever had that I felt like cares about me as a person. Love her!!! Even though the practice is large they are very efficient getting you choked in and out. I have never had to wait long.
Dr Welcome is a joy to know and consult as my primary physician.
New patient to the practice. Never asked for my medical records. Didn't take time to learn about me as person.Focus was whether I was current on health prevention test - mammogram, bone density. Disappointing visit. Wait time was longer then the visit
Dr. Welcome always spends a good amount of time with me...I never feel rushed. She is thorough and really cares about answering all of my questions and i usually have ALOT of questions!!
Dr. Welcome misdiagnosed my endometrial cancer for almost a year. Luckily, I(on my own) went to a gynecologist after begging for help with pain from Dr. Welcome. She and one of the other doctors in the practice treated me as if I was imagining the pain...or drug seeking. This has been a horrible experience for me. Thank God for a wonderful gynecologist(who diagnosed me within 3 days) and a spectacular gynecologist oncologist.
Dr. Welcome is fantastic! She is always very caring and thorough, taking a real interest in her patients and making enough time to discuss any issues. Her diagnostic skills are excellent and she follows up after making referrals to other specialists. I know of two patients of hers who credit her with saving their lives through her diagnoses of "hidden" conditions. The practice is very large, but has always been efficient. It can be difficult to get an appointment with her on short notice (ex. illness) but the large practice insures that you can always get in to see someone. The practice makes good use of their nurses and nurse practicioners.

Good product.Nice product. Take reading with very close to your ear or forhead to get the reading. You can take 2-3 reading continuously then make the average to get more accurate reading.

Right, so I'll start showing what I do with a small vignette I did just for the fun of it (hope this is the right place for this one).
A few days ago I was browsing the net and I found the cutest little droid by Dan Solo. So I thought I just had to do something with it, and here it is.
A little description first, so as to contextualize it.
back in Episode IV, when the stormtroopers were looking for C3P0 and R2 in Tatooine, a few mistakes were made and some wrong droids were found:
Like I said, this was just for the fun of it, so there aren't many details.
Still, I hope you like it

HDL (high-density lipoprotein) is sometimes called "good"
cholesterol. A high HDL level is linked with a lower risk of heart disease.
HDL may help lower the risk of heart disease in several ways. HDL helps move cholesterol out of the body. HDL does this by binding with cholesterol in the bloodstream and
carrying it back to the liver for disposal. HDL may also reduce inflammation that is linked with heart disease and heart attacks.

Today's Letter Back Home isn't quite that, but we knew we had to share it with you anyway. It's an actual letter that was written from a military child to Trevor Romain, one of our favorite people here at the USO. His DVD "With You All the Way" is being shown to kids around the country and will be available on DVD at the end of the summer. One young audience member was certainly touched by their viewing, and wrote Trevor to tell him how it changed her and her family's life…

A fire Sunday morning in a Fort Collins apartment building has claimed the lives of a woman and a child.
The victims were trapped in a second floor unit after the stairs became engulfed in flames. After the fire broke out, the woman was seen screaming, "My baby's inside."
Firefighters trying to rescue them first tried to enter through a bedroom window in the apartment but had to turn back because of extreme fire conditions and smoke. The firefighters then entered the apartment through another window but the woman and child were already dead.
Residents say the woman was in her 20s and that she had an infant daughter.
Five other people were injured and taken to a local hospital. At least three people jumped from the second floor to safety.

Daily fantasy sports give you the chance to build a new team each day, so you never have to worry about injuries or long commitments. The key to winning at daily fantasy sports is by using a solid strategy to draft your team. While each sport has their own set up unique rules, you can use these five strategy tips no matter what daily fantasy sport you want to play.
While every daily fantasy site regularly updates the prices of the players, there are always a few bargains to be found. Most of these bargain players are young lesser known players that are just starting to play up to their ability. It may take a few weeks for a rookie to see their price jump up, so you want to use them while you can get them at a discount. Bench players that are getting their first opportunity to start are also usually great bargains.
Athletes are prone to hot and cold streaks in a long season, so you must know how the players are performing when building your daily fantasy roster. Using players in the middle of a hot streak is a great way to get some extra value on your fantasy roster. Cold streaks are bound to end at some point in the season, but there is no reason you should try to predict when this will happen. Wait until a cold player has a decent game or two until you start to use them again.
Injuries are bound to happen in sports, so you must keep track of every major injury if you want to succeed at daily fantasy sports. If a player is coming back from an injury or attempting to play injured, then are more likely to have a poor game. If a star player is forced to miss a game because of injury, then it may be a great idea to use their replacement. Since this replacement player does not play much, they will be an extremely cheap option for one your roster spots.
Every daily fantasy sports player knows that matchups can completely change a player's value. An average player suddenly becomes much more attractive when they have an easy matchup. Superstar players are not immune to bad matchups either. A great defense or starting pitcher can easily shut down even the best players in every sport. Finding a way to build a daily fantasy roster with great players facing quality matchups is a great way to improve your chances of winning.
Every daily fantasy sports player gets the same salary cap to build their roster. Novice players may feel the urge to spend all of this money, but that is absolutely unnecessary. While you do not want to leave thousands of dollars left in your budget, there is nothing wrong with have a few hundred dollars left over. The goal is to build what you think is the best roster possible, so do not worry about having a little left over in your budget.

As always, improving child care should be the top goal
The state's new quality ratings should help weed out bad providers, but others capable of improving may need a hand.
Working families deserve access to high-quality child care for their kids, but all too often in Milwaukee County they can't find such care. As of December, 86% of the facilities in Milwaukee County were rated lower than three stars out of five.
If the goal is that every child care provider should be at three stars or above, there is a long way to go.
But what should be done about providers who don't quite make the grade? Should there be incentives to help them boost their ratings? Should they receive help?
We think they should. And we think the state should consider using some of the money saved from cracking down on fraud toward that end.
Make no mistake: The worst-performing providers should not be helped and should be allowed to go out of business. But others can be saved - and improved.
YoungStar, the state's new rating system, provides parents with a universal way of judging facilities based on quality. The system helps to take the guesswork out of finding high-quality child care and should drive the worst-performing providers out of business and help to reduce fraud.
Under a new quality rating system that begins in July, providers that receive a one-star rating no longer will be eligible for reimbursement. Those that receive two stars will see a 5% decrease; three-star providers will receive the base reimbursement rate; four-star providers will receive a 5% bonus; and five stars earn the providers a 10% bonus through 2012 and a 25% bonus starting in 2013.
Milwaukee's child care system has to improve: High-quality child care programs help children find the path that leads to lifelong learning, but if kids don't get on that path early, too many never get on it at all.
Because of a lack of money, it may be difficult for some providers to do what's needed to improve. If they fail to do so, some may close. In some cases, that still may be the best thing. But mass closings will become a major problem for parents if the void that is created isn't filled. Parents still need reliable, safe care for their children.
What's needed is a collaborative effort by the state and social service agencies to assure that low-rated facilities with the ability to improve have an opportunity to do so.
Other states with similar rating systems have provided support for centers that are struggling to improve. When Oklahoma moved to a quality rating system, a large number of child care facilities were faced with cuts in funding. Instead of letting these facilities wither and die, the state worked to provide free technical assistance and training, along with mentoring.
Such public investments are worth it if they help improve the overall quality of child care and maintain options for working parents in their own neighborhoods. Wisconsin should follow some of these best practices.
Funding saved by cracking down on bad providers and reducing fraud should be reinvested in assistance for two-, three- and four-star facilities to help them improve. In 2010, the state saved $100 million by rooting out fraud in the Wisconsin Shares program, schemes that were uncovered in a Pulitzer Prize-winning series of articles by Journal Sentinel reporter Raquel Rutledge.
The bottom line: Let's do whatever is necessary to help kids, no matter their station in life, to get a solid start in school. That begins with reliable, safe, high-quality child care.
Should the state provide assistance to help underperforming child care providers improve? To be considered for publication as a letter to the editor, e-mail your opinion to the Journal Sentinel editorial department.

In November, AFSC Iowa organized a statewide speaking tour for Daoud Nassar, a Palestinian Christian pacifist whose "Tent of Nations" group nonviolently struggles for land rights for Palestinians. AFSC's "Organize the Hope" fellows at Central College in Pella used the Nassar tour as their kick-off event to engage students in their campus organizing efforts. The room overflowed with students and community members.
Scattergood Friends School in West Branch provided an especially enjoyable experience for Daoud. He was surprised by the students informed questions and compared favorably their knowledge base and questions to that of students at the University of Iowa. The students were excited by the exchange with Daoud and gathered enthusiastically around him when the class was over. Daoud and students agreed to set up a communication exchange between the Scattergood students and the youth at the Tent of Nations.
In Des Moines, clergy and laity joined Daoud for a luncheon at AFSC. A clergy member from a local church was so moved by the Tent of Nations story that she shared it with a youth group with whom she works, and that group is now planning to travel to Palestine to work in one of the Tent of Nations Projects.
Picking up on the postcard initiative coming out of the AFSC Chicago office in the days leading up to the president's announcement about troop increases for Afghanistan, AFSC's Iowa office made a large banner and displayed it at the US Federal Building in Des Moines, the annual Jefferson-Jackson Day dinner attended by Vice President Joe Biden, and outside the Des Moines Valley Friends Meeting.
Hundreds of people saw the sign and received a postcard with call-in information to the White House. After the Democrats' dinner, a couple people shared our postcard with Biden, who said he agreed with our position.
Earlier in November, Zoya, a speaker from the Revolutionary Association of Afghan Women (RAWA), addressed a public forum at the Des Moines Public Library. Her message? "We oppose fundamentalism – religious and military."

My wordpress site is hosted by bluehost.
I talked to blue host and they said that I have a ddos attack going on. This actually started a few days ago, but now when I log on to my site I get an error message:
This either means that the username and password information in your wp-config.php file is incorrect or we can't contact the database server at localhost. This could mean your host's database server is down."
Apparently the attack is coming in from 230 connections. Blue host had to throttle my account because there were so many hits coming in.
I am able at times to get into the dashboard, and was able to look at the IP's again, and sure enough, it is like a couple days ago, I have the same google User Agent:dots all over in there.
Blue host said that the attackers are probably using google as cover.
The IP range is from 3 places:
Mountain View Ca - In range of 22.214.171.124 / 22.214.171.124 / 220.127.116.11
United Kingdom Range: 220.127.116.11
London GB range 18.104.22.168
Blue host said I had to "wait it out"....
Do you know if there is something else I can do? the Blue host guy could get to my home page but he said its slow.
