In a recent decision out of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, Judge Amy Jackson held that the Davis-Bacon Act ("Davis-Bacon") did not apply to a privately-funded development of privately-maintained buildings to be occupied by private citizens and businesses. Judge Jackson's decision overturned the original decision of the Department of Labor's ("DOL") Administrative Review Board ("ARB"), which found that Davis-Bacon applied to the project because it served the interests of the general public.
The case involved the "CityCenterDC" project on the site of the old Washington Convention Center in downtown Washington DC. While the land is owned by the City, the redevelopment will be entirely funded, occupied, and maintained by private parties for the entirety of the developers' ninety-nine year lease. The mixed-use development will consist of two office buildings, a hotel, condominiums and apartments, retail shops, and public spaces. The City entered into an agreement to lease the land to the developers for $2 Million per year, but retained the right to maintain an active role in the project. Specifically, DC reserved the right to approve certain design decisions, to approve the choice of contractors, architects and other personnel, to enter and inspect the project site, and to audit the developers' books and records related to the project.
Davis-Bacon applies to "every contract in excess of $2,000, to which the Federal Government or the District of Columbia is a party, for construction … of public buildings and public works of Government or the District of Columbia." The Administrative Review Board found that this was a contract "for construction" to which DC was a party and that the project was a "public work" under DOL regulations because it "serves the interests of the general public" through construction jobs, increased economic activity, public spaces, sidewalks, and increased tax revenue. The Developers and the City—which feared being held responsible for the increased costs—both brought suit asking the court to set aside the Administrative Review Board's decision.
Judge Jackson's decision questions a number of the Administrative Review Board's findings, but it ultimately rests on a rejection of the Administrative Review Board's conclusion that CityCenterDC is a public work. She reasoned that the "text, history, and purpose of the Davis-Bacon Act reveal that Congress used the term 'public work' in its traditional sense: work that is either funded by public dollars or used by the public, and usually both." Judge Jackson further noted that the plain language and operation of the Act clearly contemplates that this term was meant to apply to where government funds were involved. For example, Davis-Bacon provides for enforcement against contractors by withholding payment for their work but it is difficult, if not impossible, to see how this enforcement mechanism would work if the government is not making any payments to the contractor. Judge Jackson also concluded that virtually any private project would qualify as a public work if providing jobs and tax revenue were all that was required.
Judge Jackson further questioned the Administrative Review Board's conclusion that the City's lease agreements with the developers were contracts "for construction." She acknowledged that there was precedent holding that agreements under which private parties built facilities for the purpose of leasing them to the government could qualify as contracts for construction but noted that, in all those cases, the government was the lessee and would ultimately occupy and maintain those buildings.
This decision draws a clear line limiting the applicability of Davis-Bacon and holding that it simply cannot apply to private construction projects with only an incidental connection to the government. With the Department of Labor becoming increasingly aggressive in its enforcement efforts, decisions like this set important limits on the reach of Davis-Bacon.

Two sisters, both originally from LaRue County, have donated a large collection of miniature dioramas and shadow boxes to the Lincoln Museum. The collection contains scenes from Lincoln's life including his boyhood home, Lincoln's farewell address, a scene from the hotel room after he had been shot as well as his funeral procession. Also included in the collection are scenes from Hodges Mill and many pieces depicting life on the frontier.
LaRue County's very own Country music legend Joel Ray Sprowls had a medical scare last Saturday night after having to leave during the show at the Lincoln Jamboree.
Sprowls, who is the owner and emcee at the Lincoln Jamboree, said he had to leave the stage when he started feeling sick after the first 30 minutes of the show.
Visitors at Abraham Lincoln Birthplace National Historic Park on Independence Day had the opportunity to meet a president whose personality and adventurous spirit has captivated the imaginations of people for generations.
Despite the rainy weather, many people came to listen to a presentation and meet Theodore Roosevelt brought to life by living historian, Joe Wiegand.
A lot of questions and concerns are being raised by people in the community after the LaRue County Attorney's Office started adding around 300 archived warrants to the E-warrant system last week.
The E-warrant system was adopted in LaRue County in January 2011 and LaRue County Attorney Kyle Williamson said that a lot of the warrants they are entering go back several years or decades due to the way the warrant system worked before the E-warrant system was adopted.
Just one look at woodworking hobbyist Jim Hornback's completed projects and even the most skeptical doubter would say one man's trash truly can be another's treasure.
Hornback finds pieces of overstocked or scraps of furniture items, stacks of lumber, flawed doors, boards, and cabinets and transforms them into professional looking pieces of furniture.
He and Ruth, his wife of 52 years, hunt for those seconds and scraps as they travel to auctions, seconds stores, and other places that might hold the raw material for his next project.
The July Fourth holiday for most people is a time of fun, food, and fireworks.
But for some returning combat veterans and others traumatized by gunfire, the sound and smell of the fireworks could take all the fun away.
"For quite a while after I got back, any loud noise—firecracker, truck backfiring, or some similar thing—and I would think, 'Incoming!' and want to hit the deck," recalled Larry Clopton of Mt. Sherman who saw combat as a rifleman with the First Air Cavalry in Vietnam in 1970.
The property tax assessment appeal hearings for two organizations were held last Thursday and the assessment for Signature HealthCARE resulted in an increase from the original assessment from the LaRue County PVA Office.
The hearings were a result of tax assessment appeals from Signature HealthCARE of Sunrise Manor and Buffalo School Apartments. The LaRue County PVA office originally assessed Sunrise Manor at $15,750,000 (approximately 163,720 in property taxes) and Signature HealthCARE appealed it with a reduction to $8,490,000 (approximately $88,252 in property taxes.)
It isn't every day that royalty comes to Abraham Lincoln Birthplace National Historic Park. A swarm of bees, which includes a queen bee, have recently taken up residence in a hollow cedar tree at the park.
"The swarm landed on the tree about three weeks ago," said Joyce Gellhaus, frequent visitor of the park.
Gellhaus, who along with her husband Dan, keep bees, said that if the number of bees becomes too large for the box or hive they break off.
The LaRue County Courthouse and annex is taking on a different shape.
LaRue County Judge Executive Tommy Turner said the renovations are on schedule and several projects have already been completed.
Five people were recently indicted by the LaRue County Grand Jury on Monday, June 20.
Robert E. Aubrey, 52, of Elizabethtown was indicted on one count of first degree wanton endangerment and one count of operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol or drugs. The alleged offenses occurred on October 22, 2015. He is accused of driving a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol or drugs, which created a substantial danger to a minor in the vehicle. His bail was set at $9,500.

Gonzo is a wicked good coach & motivator. Great to have you in Boulder!
Awesome tennis party – huge turnout – lots of fun!!!
Congrats on your Facebook website. Glad to see your growing strong, wished you never left Longmont.. You are the best of the best. Xo
I just want to thank Gonzo for his work with my daughter in her tennis class. He keeps things fun and light while teaching them racquet skills and hand/eye coordination at the same time. Sydney adores Gonzo and looks forward to his class every week.
I love tennis especially tennis from gonzo
East Boulder Rec. doesn't have a playroom, right? Oh, I know they have Gonzo for their playroom!
Gonzo is the best tennis instructor I've ever had. He's a pleasure to work with and learn from. My teenage son has also taken classes and lessons from Gonzo and is equally impressed.
Congrats – having two league teams making it to States and playing well!
Tennis isn't fun unless you play it with Gonzo.

MILITARY: Heroic Marine downplays accomplishments
* This article has been modified since its original posting.
A year ago this month, Master Sgt. David Jarvis and part of his platoon of Camp Pendleton Marines found themselves surrounded by dozens of insurgents in Afghanistan's deadly Sangin River Valley.
A roadside bomb detonated, severely injuring two troops. Machine guns and rocket-propelled grenades assaulted the Marines from several directions.
The 34-year-old Jarvis repeatedly moved along his defensive lines, putting him directly in the line of fire as he repositioned his troops to fend off the attack.
As the hourlong firefight dragged on, the native of Port Orchard, Wash., realized that a medical evacuation helicopter called in to pick up the injured troops was in danger.
Jarvis attacked with a light anti-armor rocket, again putting himself in the direct line of fire. It was a move that allowed the rescue helicopter to land and safely evacuate the wounded.
For those actions, Jarvis was awarded the Silver Star on Wednesday, an honor he said belongs to all the Marines that were there.
"It's not my day, it's a day for everybody to remember and look back on all the things we did there," he said before his award ceremony. "I truly don't take it as my citation ---- it's all of ours."
But moments after 1st Marine Division commander Maj. Gen. Ronald Bailey pinned on Jarvis' chest the third-highest honor a Marine can receive after the Medal of Honor and Navy Cross, Jarvis also was awarded a Bronze Star with a "V" for valor in combat, clearly marking him as someone special.
That award came for a set of similar actions in July and August of last year in which he and his Marines were attacked by anti-government Taliban fighters in the southeastern Helmand province.
"Composure, calmness, courage. You never know in battle who's going to have it, who's going to step up," Bailey said. "But he has it. He has my admiration and my respect."
Jarvis was a gunnery sergeant when he earned his recognition while leading the 1st Platoon of Company B of the 1st Reconnaissance Battalion.
Recon Marines are in a special class themselves, highly trained and extremely fit Marines who take on some of the most difficult missions.
Jarvis' squad was assigned the job of stabilizing a section of the Sangin River Valley that is a place commanders have described as a drug haven and roadside-bomb manufacturing center that rapidly became the Taliban's last stronghold in that section of Helmand province after the Marines arrived.
"We were there to stabilize the area and we're going around meeting key leaders to find out what their needs were and what we could do to help them," the well-spoken, outgoing Jarvis said Wednesday before the medal ceremony.
"In doing that, we tangled up with a lot of the Taliban in their backyard, an area that until then had been untouched by coalition forces," he added. "We had to make the area safe."
When he took the microphone to address family and hundreds of Marines gathered at Camp Pendleton to witness the bestowing of his medals, Jarvis again was reluctant to take credit for the heroism the Marine Corps says he displayed.
"No single Marine wins battles," he said. "No individual Marine fights alone. It's a team effort."
The two Marines injured by the Oct. 25, 2010, bombing survived their wounds, as did four others who suffered more minor wounds.
"Because of your leadership, all your Marines came home," said Jarvis' boss, Lt. Col. Brian Gilman, commander of the 1st Reconnaissance Battalion.
Gilman repeatedly described Jarvis as a modest and humble man, but also one of the most fit Marines in the battalion, who routinely bests troops roughly half his age in fitness competitions.
He also noted that Jarvis has received multiple honors, including top graduate of two of the Marine Corps' most challenging assignments, its sniper and reconnaissance courses.
Jarvis again was having little of the praise he was hearing. He credited his wife, Tina, a Marine chief warrant officer, who is roughly half his size, with keeping him focused and on task.
Maj. Gen. Bailey summed up Jarvis by saying he was the latest in a long line of 1st Marine Division heroes.
"It's all about pride and legacy, and leading by example and withstanding withering enemy fire," the general said. "Master Sgt. Jarvis represents all that."
Jarvis' mom, Laura Ashe, said seeing her son awarded two medals for battlefield courage was "awesome."
"A lot of the time he was gone, I would ignore the news," she said. "I didn't want him over there, and now I'm just glad he's home safe."
Correction: This article has been corrected to reflect that Master Sgt. David Jarvis has not been married for 20 years. His wife, Tina, has been in the Marine Corps for 20 years.

WASHINGTON - Game One: Georgetown 7, Cornell 1
Junior pitcher Lauren O'Leary (La Canada, Calif./La Canada) allowed just one run on four hits over seven complete innings to lead the Georgetown University softball team (16-12, 6-0 BIG EAST) over Cornell (7-13, 0-2 Ivy League), 7-1, in the first game of the Hoyas home-opening doubleheader at Guy Mason Field on Tuesday afternoon.
Senior centerfielder Elyse Graziano (Floral Park, N.Y./Sacred Heart Academy) went 3-for-4, finishing a home run shy of hitting for the cycle, while driving in one run and scoring one run. Sophomore shortstop Grace Applebe (Phoenix, Ariz./Xavier College Prep) went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run to lead the offense in the Hoyas ninth victory in a row.
The Hoyas went to work in the bottom of the second, when senior first baseman Madeleine Giaquinto (Falls Church, Va./Bishop O'Connell) blooped a one-out single into shallow right field. Sophomore third baseman Taylor Henry (Front Royal, Va./Skyline) followed with a single to center field before sophomore catcher Molly Morrison (Northfield, Ill./New Trier) doubled to drive in one run. Graziano followed with a double to left center field to give GU a 2-0 lead.
In the fourth inning, Graziano tripled to left center, before Applebe homered over the left field fence, her second of the season, to put the Hoyas in front 4-0. GU tacked on three more runs, as Megan Hyson doubled to center field to score Applebe. Sophomore left fielder Samantha Giovanniello (Floral Park, N.Y./Floral Park Memorial) singled up the middle to drive in two more runs, giving the Blue & Gray a 7-0 lead.
Cornell's Kristen Baker spoiled O'Leary's shutout in the top of the seventh inning with a lead-off home run to left field, but it was all the offense the Big Red could muster, as the Hoyas improved to 16-12 on the season.
GAME TWO: Cornell 6, Georgetown 0
A one-out Georgetown error in the top of the first inning resulted in two Cornell runs. The Big Red added two more in the top of the third inning, as Sophie Giaquinto - younger sister of the Hoyas' Madeleine Giaquinto - hit a two-run home run over the left field fence to extend the lead to 4-0. She added a two-run single in the top of the seventh inning to seal the Hoyas game two loss.
Junior pitcher Megan Hyson (Pasadena, Md./Chesapeake) took the loss, falling to 9-7 on the season. Hyson allowed six runs, four earned, on six hits, while striking out nine in 7.0 complete innings
The Hoyas return home to Guy Mason Field on Saturday, April 5 when they host a doubleheader against BIG EAST Conference opponent St. John's. The first game of a three-game weekend series begins at noon.

After completing my federal taxes I paid the charge on my credit card and completed e-filing my federal report. Then I completed and attempted to file my state taxes and it requested that I pay the $39.95 charge again. I assumed this to be an error so I wanted to contact technical services to clear up the problem. Finding a contact number was extremely difficult (I believe now that this is intended) but after alot of digging I was able to file an "incident" report and THEN the site issued an incident ID and a phone number to contact them.
Be aware that this number is an outsourced number and communication was extemely difficult. I was then advised by the "customer service" rep that there is a charge for both filings. This fact is either not disclosed on their web-site or, more likely, conveniently hidden in fine print. So add me to the growing list of ex-consumers of turbotax who they were able to scam one time. Apparently they are content existing on the old adage that they would rather skin a sheep once then shear it many times. I am done with these thieves.

Well say what you got in your GCSEs in India then. But say that you did them in India. I don't know whether UCAS will accept them though but put it there because you never know, it might be worth it. You would be an international student so I suggest you look at the international student requirements for the course you are looking at at the universities you wish to apply to.

When I brought this to the attention of the HR director he said he would handle it. After MANY months of having to go up to the office and inquiring about my money I received my checks in AUGUST 2006!
I was also informed in May that I was no longer an employee, since I had not worked in over a month. A policy I had never seen, nor had the new HR director. I was not asked to sign anything, and the HR director asked if I wanted to come back....LOL Ya as if!
In the time I worked at Educare, the top Administrative people were fired for embezelment. It was reported that over a MILLION dollars was stollen. All the while, we staff could not get raises, I was not offered health insurance after going to fulltime status. One week before my wedding $600 was stolen out of my wallet. I think it was the staff I worked with. I reported it to my supervisor the day it happened and nothing was ever done. I did not get an apology, no admin staff ever questioned the clients or staff that was there that day. And that does not even begin to say what kinds of things they were doing to the clients!!! One example, before I left they made a rule that the clients could only shop at Wal-Mart. Even if food was cheaper at other stores. What happened to choices??? And by forcing them to shop at a specific store they would have less money for activities. Truly a disgrace!
I am happy I am no longer there but I feel bad for the clients who have to live in thier group homes, with undereducated and underpaid staff and no money.
Supposidly there is a 1 800 complaint number ResCare offers, but I never saw the number. If all else fails, and there are issues involving the clients, go to the clients social workers. They are legally bound to investigate all alligations of abuse and neglect. That is how they found out about the embezalling. But you would think a huge corporation would have thier own way of checks and balances, but this one obviously does not.

They hired people in at over 2 dollars more on the hour, with no experience, for a 90 day period, then drop them to regular base rate, but the people that worked for the company, still in direct care, made a dollar less than someone just hired. We had the water company come out a couple months ago, try to shut our water to the group home off, due to an unpaid bill of 3 months. Our consumers never have money to do personal shopping, some barely have clothing.
There have been 2 incidents to where one of my coworkers has had 500 dollars stolen from her wallet, and another where recently another had 40 stolen. They both went to the home supervisor, and they were ignored.
Myself, as well as a couple others, want to quit, but can't, because the needs of the consumers, and their well being, we do not trust with the other staff, due to what we have seen. That's sad.
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?

Parents object to vaccine exemption formThe Associated Press | November 29,2012MONTPELIER — Vermont Health Department officials have rewritten rules designed to implement a new law on childhood immunizations, but some parents aren't satisfied with how those changes are being made.
An earlier draft of the rules said when parents want to exempt their child from vaccinations they need to sign a form implying they agree with the Health Department's assessment of the vaccines' risks and benefits. Parents who have expressed skepticism about vaccines say that's compelled speech, and that it violates the First Amendment.
Health Department officials tell lawmakers the rules had been rewritten to address those concerns.
But Jennifer Stella of the Vermont Coalition for Vaccine Choice says school nurses haven't been told about the rewrite.
Deputy Health Commissioner Tracy Dolan says that should be happening soon.MORE IN This Just InBENNINGTON A Sandgate man with a previous conviction for a sex crime against a child in New...

In Jan. 2012 I contacted World Travel Services and spoke with sales rep. Eucenia asking her to set up a land tour package for Philippines. She promised to call me back in 1-2 days with the price quote. She never called back. I called several times and spoke with Amanda who told me the same thing, that she will call 1-2 days, I was told it takes time to set up tha package. I called few more times and got the same answer each time. I finally spoke with Customer Service Manager named Tracy who promised me to resolve the problem but I never heard from her. I even E-mail their Complaint Dept.and never got any answer. I already had my vacation and still I haven't received any response. I think this Travel service is a big RIP=OFF. They get your money and never deliver the service at all. They just keep promising to call you back but doesn't provide the service.
This is an eye opener for me. Make sure to research thoroughly before going to any free offer/ presentations. I lost $4000.00 but I learned a valuable lesson. Never trust people like them.

"We want to keep as many of our existing squad as possible and create a culture here at Rotherham where players can see they can play at a high level, with a very ambitious club."
More players are set to be announced in this Friday's Rotherham Advertiser. The club enjoys a positive relationship with the town's major newspaper and as such they will exclusively announce further signings in Friday's edition.

I have a problem and not sure how to fix it. All of my posts are being posted on Google but it is using the META description from the HEADER instead of the post itself. When I do searches for blog posts, they don't appear and if they do, the info is not for that specific post.
Any ideas? I do have All In One SEO and I fill out that info religiously hoping to increase my visibility but seem to be hidden.
Do I delete the header META?

Sailing to the First Tee
By ROBERT SIDORSKY
Published: June 13, 1999
ON a late August morning, I arrived with my golf clubs and a touch of trepidation at No. 10 Packhuskajen, on Goteborg's waterfront, to embark on a weeklong golf cruise along the Gota Canal. Like most American golfers, I knew almost nothing about golf in Sweden. I knew even less about the Gota Canal, a series of interconnected waterways that allow passage across the width of Sweden, from Goteborg on the North Sea coast to Stockholm 250 miles away on the Baltic.
I thought a cruise would offer an ideal way to get to the different courses, see the Swedish countryside and meet some fellow golfers. There were 20 avid, if not particularly skilled, golfers on our voyage -- five Swedish couples and a family of four, three Norwegian women, two women from Finland, and me. We were accompanied by our very able golf host, Rolf Torn.
Being the only American in the group turned out not to be awkward. All the passengers and crew spoke English and were very friendly. Some of my fellow passengers had sailed portions of our route in their own boats, and most of them knew a good deal about the history and lore of the canal.
Our ship was the Diana, one of three canal steamers operated by the Gota Canal Steamship Company. Built in 1931, the 104-foot Diana is the newest and largest of the steamships. The other two are the Juno and the Wilhelm Tham (William Tell).
The Diana was a cheerful and romantic ship, and with only 20 passengers (it can take up to 60 on most cruises), it was easy to roam about. There are three decks: the upper or bridge deck, the mid deck, which houses the dining room -- trimmed in red velvet with frosted-glass light fixtures -- and the main deck. The cabins are not much bigger than shoe boxes; mine had bunk beds, a sink and little else. I had booked a room was on the top deck, but most of the passengers slept on the less expensive lower deck, where the cabins are slightly larger but there is more noise from the ship's engines.
The canal steamers are well known in Sweden, and the Diana inspired a Swedish detective novel, ''Roseanna,'' one of a series of murder mysteries featuring a phlegmatic police inspector, Martin Beck. I read the book on the cruise: ''On a July afternoon, the body of a young woman is dredged from Sweden's Lake Vattern. Three months later, all that Police Inspector Martin Beck knows is that her name is Roseanna, that she came from Lincoln, Nebraska, and that she could have been strangled by any one of eighty-five people.''
The fictional Roseanna was strangled in Cabin 7, which was used to stow our golf clubs. Anders Swensson, the first mate, told me that the clubs were kept there because no one wanted to sleep in the room where Roseanna was murdered.
We set sail at noon from Goteborg, a seafaring city of 440,000, Sweden's second largest. Goteborg has only one skyscraper, the 22-story Utkiken, or Lookout, with a central observatory in the shape of a periscope. It is surrounded by a skyline of cranes and ship masts. There were the massive orange cranes in the central wharf, the smaller yellow cranes of the Gotenius Varv shipyard and still smaller blue ones in the background. To the west, the Alvsborg suspension bridge loomed above the Klippan, the restored old waterfront, where East India Company ships once left laden with Swedish iron ore for Spain and returned with spices, silk and porcelain from Canton.
We departed from the Packhuskajen, the old Customs House, its yellow brick and stone cornices typical of Goteborg's 18th-century architecture. The maritime museum in the harbor is a collection of ships; its centerpiece is the Swedish destroyer Smaland, and as we sailed by, the fireboat in the museum sprayed a plume of water.
The first day of the cruise there were lots of locks but no golf. As every Swedish schoolchild learns, the Gota Canal is the supreme achievement of Swedish engineering. While the idea for a canal linking Goteborg to Stockholm dates to the 16th century, it was Count Baltzar von Platen who successfully carried out the undertaking, starting in 1810. Construction took 22 years, requiring 58,000 spade-wielding men to cut through 54 miles of earth and link the various waterways with a system of locks. Von Platen died in 1829, three years before the immense project was completed.
On our voyage, we covered about half of the route from Goteborg to Stockholm, sailing along the Gota River and around Lake Vanern, then through part of the canal proper before circling back to Goteborg.
As we ate our first lunch, we passed the 14th-century stone fortress that King Hakon V of Norway built at Kungalv, or King River. We sailed past cow pastures and red farmhouses set in blond fields of rye hemmed by evergreens before coming to the lock at Lilla Edet.
We then passed through the Trollhattan Canal, a series of four locks that were expanded as part of the Gota Canal project. It lifted us 105 feet, almost to the mouth of Lake Vanern. That evening, we visited the Kanalmuseet, a museum where the tools used to construct the canal are displayed, and spent the night docked at Trollhattan.

AbstractHumidity measurement is one of the most significant issues in various areas of applications such as instrumentation, automated systems, agriculture, climatology and GIS. Numerous sorts of humidity sensors fabricated and developed for industrial and laboratory applications are reviewed and presented in this article. The survey frequently concentrates on the RH sensors based upon their organic and inorganic functional materials, e.g., porous ceramics (semiconductors), polymers, ceramic/polymer and electrolytes, as well as conduction mechanism and fabrication technologies. A significant aim of this review is to provide a distinct categorization pursuant to state of the art humidity sensor types, principles of work, sensing substances, transduction mechanisms, and production technologies. Furthermore, performance characteristics of the different humidity sensors such as electrical and statistical data will be detailed and gives an added value to the report. By comparison of overall prospects of the sensors it was revealed that there are still drawbacks as to efficiency of sensing elements and conduction values. The flexibility offered by thick film and thin film processes either in the preparation of materials or in the choice of shape and size of the sensor structure provides advantages over other technologies. These ceramic sensors show faster response than other types.

Suture (joint)
|Suture (joint)
Side view of the skull.
Human skull side suturas right
|Anatomical terminology
A suture is a type of fibrous joint which only occurs in the skull (or "cranium"). The bones are bound together by Sharpey's fibres. A tiny amount of movement is permitted at sutures, which contributes to the compliance and elasticity of the skull. These joints are synarthroses.[1] It is normal for many of the bones of the skull to remain unfused at birth. The fusion of the skull's bones at birth is known as craniosynostosis. The term "fontanelle" is used to describe the resulting "soft spots". The relative positions of the bones continue to change during the life of the adult (though less rapidly), which can provide useful information in forensics and archaeology. In old age, cranial sutures may ossify (turn to bone) completely.[2] The joints between the teeth and the joint between the mandible and the cranium, the temporomandibular joint, form the only non-sutured joints in the skull.
List of sutures[edit]
Most sutures are named for the bones they articulate, but some have special names of their own.
Primarily visible from the side (norma lateralis)[edit]
- Coronal suture - between the frontal and parietal bones
- Lambdoid suture - between the parietal and occipital bones and continuous with the occipitomastoid suture
- Occipitomastoid suture - between the occipital and temporal bones and continuous with the lambdoid suture
- Parietomastoid suture
- Sphenofrontal suture
- Sphenoparietal suture
- Sphenosquamosal suture
- Sphenozygomatic suture
- Squamosal suture - between the parietal and the temporal bone
- Zygomaticotemporal suture
- Zygomaticofrontal suture
Primarily visible from front (norma frontalis) or above (norma verticalis)[edit]
- Frontal suture / Metopic suture - between the two frontal bones, prior to the fusion of the two into a single bone
- Sagittal suture - along the midline, between parietal bones
Primarily visible from below (norma basalis) or inside[edit]

Soccer! This upcoming sport of the times, has been around for years, but is just slowly showing it's face more and more. The first time I heard of it, I wondered what a crazy sport this must be. My daughter was 8 and decided she wanted to play, so I signed her up for the fall season. As I watched, I thought, this is just crazy. I was a basketball person; I knew those rules and how to play that game. Kicking a ball around on a field and trying to kick it into this net, that was just crazy. How do you control a ball with your foot? I could throw it into the net, but no hands are permitted. In fact, it is a foul to use your hands in this game, other than the occasional throw-in. I decided I would give this sport a chance and see what it was she liked about it. I was very thankful she had an awesome coach, or she would have been in trouble. And so it all began. The following spring, I was elected as Registrar for the league and I have been there ever since. Coaching, field work, concession, bathrooms, refereeing and whatever else may need done. Why? Because I love being involved with the kids and enjoying every minute with them.
Fall season is beginning, teams have been set and coaches are getting their kids together and practicing. The fields that have been quiet since May, are coming alive once again. My practice started tonight. 6 girls and 5 boys, all showing up for the first game apprehensive and not sure what to expect from this new coach and team. For an hour we went over things that needed to be known to kids moving up an age bracket. This age bracket that has different rules than the younger one they were used to. As the practice ended, they were smiling and happy. I thought, this is why I do what I do! We put our heads and hands together for the last evening cheer of TEAM! We are ALL a team, we can�t play alone. There is no I in team. We need each other to get the ball down the field and to that goal to score. This is something they must remember.
Ripley High Girls soccer team had a scrimmage 8/14 against Poca. Score was 2 - 1 with Presley Fisher and Holli Farkosh scoring our goals. Great job girls! The Lady Vikings are coached by new coach, Chris Stout and and assistant coach, Melanie Pierson. Good luck girls for a great season.

What if your child DOES know Right from Wrong and chooses to do Wrong? {Aha! Parenting.com}
I like her advice in this post. Mostly connection before correction, getting to the core if what triggered the outburst or defiance. She makes parenting look so easy! (I don't even know how to correct the mistakes of my 2 year old.)
The greatest danger bloggers face. {Jon Acuff's Blog via Life Your Way}
He admits, "I started writing a blog about my life instead of living my life." The comments are interesting, too. I have three blogs and too frequently I find myself yelling and being impatient with my daughter because I "need" to finish this blog post. There are many benefits of blogging. My family blog has already reminded me of so many things that she's said or done that it is worth the time, but I should work on when that best time is.

3 Times You Shouldn't Use a Boxed Curriculum
I remember my very first year homeschooling; I ordered one of those big boxes of curriculum from one publisher. Everything came in one box, and my shopping was done in one swoop. I was thrilled!
Fast forward a few weeks and we were miserable. Why? That particular boxed curriculum wasn't working for us anymore…
Boxed curriculums are great, and they work for many families, including ours! But, sometimes they don't work. And as a homeschool mom, you have to make the curriculum choice for your family. There are a few situations when you probably shouldn't use a boxed curriculum.
You fly by the seat of your pants
If you're a homeschool mom who doesn't do well with structure, then boxed curriculum may NOT be right for you. Boxed curriculums are structured, and organized, and that type of curriculum may not work with every personality type.
You don't like feeling "boxed" in
If you like choice and flexibility, then a boxed curriculum may make you feel "boxed" in. A boxed curriculum lasts you a whole year. Once you have started the year, you pretty much have to continue on the schedule to finish the year on time. This means that if you want to try something else, or follow a rabbit trail that interests you, you may not have time.
You get bored easily
Some homeschool families like to change things up often. If this is your family, then a boxed curriculum may not work for you. The boxed curriculums I have used tend to use the same pattern each day or week. The basic structure of the curriculum is the same throughout the year. If you think you would get bored with this familiarity then you probably shouldn't use a boxed curriculum.
One good thing about any curriculum is that once you try it, if you don't like it, you can move on to something else! The same is true with a boxed curriculum. If you still feel like you want to try a boxed curriculum then by all means go for it! Boxed curriculums work for many families, and even if you fit in one of these categories it *may* still work for you. But, you have been warned :).

Homeschooling your Dyslexic Child
As a parent interested in homeschooling, you may wonder IF you can homeschool your child with dyslexia. The truth is, you can!
Benefits to Homeschooling a Child with Dyslexia
Believe it or not, there are many benefits to homeschooling a child with dyslexia.
- Homeschooling allows for individualized education in all areas where dyslexic children struggle, including: reading, spelling, composition and comprehension.
- Homeschooling your dyslexic child allows them to focus on areas of interest, and allows you to plan lessons around those interests.
- Homeschooling your dyslexic child allows them to NOT be measured day in and day out by their peers.
- Dyslexic children are allowed to work at their own pace using resources that work best with their individual strengths.
- Homeschooling your dyslexic child allows them to avoid standardized testing and strict scheduling that takes place in public schools.
Tips to Help Homeschool Your Dyslexic Child
- Audio Books- These are a great way for dyslexic children to experience books that may have otherwise been too difficult for them to read themselves. Many libraries offer a great selection of audio books!
- Videos- Dyslexic children who may struggle with textbooks could greatly benefit from video instruction. Consider letting them watch lectures, demonstrations, documentaries, and science experiments. This gives visual learners a better learning experience.
- Provide Modifications- Allow your dyslexic child modifications. These can include reading directions, allowing more time on tests, explanations when directions are unclear, and whatever other modifications your child may need.
Homeschooling your dyslexic child with these tips are not "cheating" but are ways to allow your child to excel in learning. A dyslexic child has learning differences that could hold them back in a traditional school setting. Homeschooling your dyslexic child and allowing them to work around their areas of struggle is a huge benefit of homeschooling.
Curriculum Options to Consider
There are certain types of curriculum that a dyslexic child may do better with. These include curriculums with:
- Shorter teaching sessions
- Auditory learning through DVD's, audio books, etc.
- An option for completing work orally
Dyslexic children tend to not do well with curriculums that have:
- Lots of writing
- Curriculums that require lots of reading
- Difficult spelling lists
If you are considering homeschooling your dyslexic child please know that you CAN do it! Take into consideration their learning style, make modifications, and consider curriculums that are better geared for a dyslexic child. With these tips you can homeschool your child with dyslexia!

Can Someone Else Homeschool My Child?
As a homeschool mentor in our local homeschool group, I have been asked a few times "Can someone else homeschool my child?". This question stems from a variety of scenarios and comes from aunts, or grandparents having custody of their family members, foster or adoptive parents, or from parents who may have to work outside the home full time and has someone else willing to educate them while the parent is at work. The answer is dependent on where one lives. Some states allow it, some do not.
One thing to consider in regards to homeschooling another person's child is that homeschooling ultimately is the parent's responsibility. That being said there are cases when a parent cannot step into that role full time. Sometimes a grandparent, aunt, or friend can come in and help the child. However, the parent is still responsible for the education of that child.
For example, if mom works outside the home 3 days a week, and grandma watches the children and makes sure school is done on those days, she is filling in for mom. However, mom leaves the assignments, mom makes sure the work is complete, and mom grades the papers. Mom is still in charge of the child's education.
Another scenario may be that your child is having a hard time mastering geometry. You hire a college student from your church to come in one day a week and tutor your child. This is not someone else homeschooling your child. This is asking and receiving help. The parent is still in charge of their child's education.
In the case where the parent is not in the picture, and an aunt or grandparent steps in, I highly recommend seeking legal counsel. Maybe a temporary custody agreement should be met, or a contract set up. The education of someone else's children is one that should not be taken on lightly.
Can I homeschool another person's child? Here is the answer from HSLDA:
It depends on the homeschool law for your state (find your state's law here). Please read it carefully to determine whether you may homeschool a child who is not yours. Even if homeschooling someone else's child is legal in your state, HSLDA will not defend your right to teach a child other than your own. This is because our mission is to defend and advance the constitutional right of parents to direct the upbringing and education of their own children.
In regards to foster and adopted children the answer from HSLDA is:
Parents may homeschool their adopted children. However, if you are a foster parent, the option of homeschooling is determined by your caseworker.
If you are considering homeschooling another person's child, please check out the laws for your state. If you are wondering if someone else can homeschool your child, remember that as a parent, you are the one solely responsible for your child's education. Seeking help is one thing, but the education of your child rests on you. You can read the laws about parental responsibility and homeschooling for your state here.

Persevere with Laughter
My favorite nuggets of advice when we began the homeschooling journey were:
"You know your weaknesses, so pray."
"If you're not having fun, you're doing it wrong."
I've relied on those treasures of wisdom for thirteen years now! There were a few years where I modified the second one to "If I'm not having fun, we're doing something wrong." Your home may be different than ours, but our reality has been that sometimes the kids do not look at homeschooling as anything more than drudgery. I still believe the love of learning that often launches we parents into homeschooling will be 'caught' by our children—but there are definitely days they will not have that love!
This week, as we struggled through two very difficult courses high school courses, (read that, 'difficult for me') the laughter in the midst of perseverance reminded me how very right this has been!! I was the Valedictorian of my class; a nerd who felt bad if I did not have an "A" in every subject. Even then I knew that there was merit to lesser grades and fuller lives, yet I could not quite grasp that concept for myself. Praise God, my husband, children and our home education journey have taught me better. Lest you think we do not take grades seriously, we do. The children demonstrate a competitiveness in grades and a desire to excel that I appreciate. Yet we have learned together that the deepest lessons of home education transform our character. My heart rejoices that laughter sweetened our hard work. I want that to be a lesson the children apply the rest of their lives. Balancing a chemical equation and efficiently utilizing a compass for angle re-creation are beneficial; a right attitude in hard times is priceless.
This is a truth we have lived for several years. Math struggles faced by my son taught him more about perseverance—and his capabilities—than soaring through his Bible lessons. The college-level Counseling program my daughter is taking (in her sophomore year of high school) instructed her in the value of talking through confusing topics to deepen understanding. For most of our years, academics have not been a struggle from the 'parent' perspective. I must admit, though, some of our high school courses reveal how much I did not really learn in my own years of education. While those times are weaknesses, they are not failures. In fact, those things which I know well are sometimes the most difficult for me to teach. I cannot give a process when it is something I just 'do.' Beyond that, I do not expect my children to learn things I am unable to learn. Therefore, my weaknesses allow me to set the example and persevere with them. I suspect that the subjects we work harder at will be the content they remember best. I know the attitude we approach our difficulties with will be part of the legacy of our homeschool.
