Management & Administration Staff
The management and administration staff provide the strategic leadership and operational management for Child Trends.
The management and administration staff provide the strategic leadership and operational management for Child Trends.
Child Trends conducts research, analyzes data, and evaluates programs in virtually every area in the child welfare field. Our areas of expertise include prevention of maltreatment, child protection, court oversight, foster care, kinship care, adoption, and youth leaving care. We work closely with practitioners and policymakers who rely on our research and advice to make positive change in child welfare systems.
Child Trends recently completed a comprehensive evaluation of the Wendy's Wonderful Kids initiative, a program developed to promote adoption of children from foster care. In addition, our child welfare team is evaluating family finding programs across the country. We also conduct biennial state surveys examining the funding streams that support child welfare services.
From our start more than 30 years ago, Child Trends has studied and reported on the well-being of children and youth. Our work in this area influences policies and practices in the U.S. and around the world. For us, child well-being is multi-dimensional and best measured over time. We look at positive and negative indicators that assess well-being across outcomes, behaviors and processes. We also review indicators that cover children of all ages from birth to their transition to adulthood. Our aim is to provide child well-being indicators that are easily and readily understood by policymakers, practitioners, and the public.
You can search our DataBank by topic and by the stages of children's lives to examine trends and statistics measuring child well-being.
Child Trends researchers study young children from birth through early elementary school with a focus on understanding how the experiences children have across different settings promote optimal development and well-being. Our team works with the federal government, state agencies, communities, and foundations on research, evaluation, and policy projects that address important issues for policymakers, practitioners, and families. We are skilled at developing resources and reports that address complex topics in easy-to-understand terms. We are strong thought partners in addressing a range of early childhood issues.
Much of our work fits into five broad categories.
Child Trends' education research strives to identify the educational policies, programs, and structures that create the positive conditions for learning that help youth flourish in primary and secondary school, college, career, and beyond. Areas of research expertise include: social and emotional learning and non-academic competencies; health and nutrition policies; college and workplace readiness; school climate and discipline; bullying; integrated student services; charter schools; family strengths and involvement in education; international comparisons; character education; dropout prevention and recovery; science, technology, engineering, and math education (STEM); and afterschool and summer learning. We offer technical assistance (including survey, measure, and indicator development, as well as strategic planning around school initiatives), research syntheses, data and policy analysis, training, program evaluation, and reviews of best practices to identify what works and what doesn't.
Child Trends researchers study the physical and mental health of children and adolescents. Our staff conduct literature reviews, provide training and technical assistance and analyze datasets pertaining to health and access to health care. Our research informs program providers and policymakers developing strategies for addressing the health needs of children.
Child Trends develops and promotes indicators of child well-being used by researchers and policymakers to better understand children and youth and provide the means for assessing our shared accountability, as a nation, for their welfare. The Child Trends DataBank examines and monitors more than 100 indicators that focus on both risks and positive development for children. We also conduct in-depth reviews of subpopulations of children and youth – for example, children in adoptive families, infants and toddlers, and children in a particular region or jurisdiction.
For Venture Philanthropy Partners, Child Trends reported on the well-being of children and youth in the Washington, D.C. metro region. Capital Kids: Shared Responsibility, Shared Future.
Child Trends' international work focuses on cross-national comparisons of child and family well-being. We produce international comparison reports, such as the World Family Map, develop international surveys, analyze international data on children and families, and collaborate with others to move the field toward a global consensus around indicator frameworks, surveys, best practices, and what works to improve child and family well-being globally. We adapt measures to specific contexts, develop global conceptual frameworks and indicators of well-being, synthesize cross-national research, monitor and evaluate projects, and provide technical assistance and consultation to nations and international non-governmental organizations on all of these topics. We collaborate with organizations and universities in many regions of the world.
Today's children are born into and grow up in many different types of families. For example, four in ten babies in the U.S. are born to unmarried parents – either single or cohabiting. Child Trends tracks and analyzes the changes taking place in the structure of the American family over recent decades and how these changes impact children. We review the research literature, examine trends in the data, conduct qualitative studies, and evaluate programs intended to promote and support healthy relationships within and outside of marriage.
Child Trends investigates family relationships that influence a child's development from birth through the transition to adulthood. We look at all family and household structures from children living with two parents, single parents, extended family members, and with foster and adoptive parents. We also study the role of fathers in children's development and ways to improve father engagement among diverse groups of fathers. We offer expertise in quantitative and qualitative research, program evaluation, policy design, and technical assistance.
Child Trends is a leader in long-term efforts to conceptualize and measure positive indicators for children and adolescents. Child Trends has developed rigorous national indicators of flourishing among children and youth for inclusion in national surveys, research studies, and program evaluations. Read about our Positive Indicators Project.
Poverty poses both immediate and long-term threats to children's development. Child Trends monitors the prevalence of child poverty over time, and its impact on child outcomes. In all of our research areas, from early childhood to youth development, we examine differences in child well-being by family income. We also evaluate the effects of programs and policies aimed at children and families in poverty.
Our DataBank provides annual updates on the number and percent of children living under key poverty thresholds.
This research area provides support to organizations and programs serving children and youth. Our goal is to help them improve their quality and effectiveness in achieving intended outcomes. Our evaluation experts conduct implementation research, using multiple methods, to assess program, organizational, and community characteristics that influence program operations. Findings are used to provide formative feedback to help programs identify and address their challenges, to assess programs' readiness for rigorous impact studies, and to understand the circumstances under which programs operate best.
We also work directly with organizations to promote their ability to act on information to improve their programs. We do this by helping them develop evidence-informed and testable theories of change that align program outcomes with activities, and strengthen how they collect, analyze, and use data to provide actionable information. And we develop technical assistance materials and strategies to provide youth-serving programs with information that addresses common challenges to their operations, such as outreach and recruitment, communications, retention, and program scaling and sustainability.
Children's social and emotional skills, such as persistence and the ability to make friends, are increasingly recognized as central to their health, happiness, and achievement in school, and eventually in the workplace, and their well-being as adults. Child Trends' research on social-emotional learning encompasses infancy through young adulthood. We bring together experts in early childhood development, education, youth development, and more, to work together to investigate and communicate the foundational elements around social-emotional competencies and skill building.
Child Trends examines sexual activity, contraceptive use, and fertility, focusing particularly on teens and young adults. Our research informs program providers and policymakers on strategies to prevent unintended pregnancies and sexually-transmitted infections, and to promote healthy relationships. We collect and analyze data about teens and young adults, track trends, evaluate programs, and design and test new interventions and measures.
Child Trends brings a multi-disciplinary perspective to its studies of adolescents and young adults and the programs that serve them. We conduct national and local evaluations of after-school and prevention programs (see brief about Abriendo Puertas). These evaluations include not only impact evaluations to examine whether programs are effective, but also implementation evaluations to examine how they work. We work with programs and funders to ensure that programs are ready for evaluation by helping develop logic models, conduct needs assessments, and develop and refine their performance management capacities. A critical part of our work is research to understand and measure adolescent and young adult well-being for national studies and evaluations (for example, the Positive Indicators Project).
We also compile evaluations by researchers from around the world and synthesize these studies to identify effective (and ineffective) programs and practices. The information is widely disseminated in clear language via research briefs, policy briefings, webinars and through technical assistance to practitioners and local communities.

Seeing Is Believing
A Decade After An Explosion Left Him Legally Blind, Renay Poirier Recovers His Vision
The mystery surrounding the return of his sight hasn't diminished Vomer's delight. "This is all overwhelming and joyous," says Poirier, 40, describing to correspondent Bob Meadows what it was like to see his family once again—wife Connie, 39, a first-grade teacher, and daughters Alea, 12, and Kara, 9. "I'm going to take it moment by moment."
I lost most of my vision back in October 1990. I was an electrician at a manufacturing plant, when there was a high-voltage explosion: 12,500 volts. A number of wires that were energized touched together, creating a horrific fireball. It knocked me down, hurting my back, neck and arms. I went into shock and was taken to a hospital, treated and released that night.
Everything was blurry right away, and my vision deteriorated further. I was legally blind. I could see shapes, maybe. When my doctor told me he couldn't find any specific reason for my loss of sight, I began to think posttraumatic stress might have played a role. But I still couldn't see.
I don't think "anger" is the right word to describe what I felt. I was frustrated. It was a very difficult time for me. I couldn't see my wife, I couldn't see my children, I couldn't see the world. I had to relearn how to do things. It was difficult walking at first, maintaining my balance. I had to use a cane. It was only after I went back to school in '94 to become a physical therapist's assistant that I started to gain a bit of my confidence. I could hold my head up and say, "I'm not worthless. I can do something with my life."
And then this thing happened. I was at work May 23, when I experienced a severe headache. Then all of a sudden there was this really bright light. At first I thought I was having a heart attack or a stroke. I thought I was dying. Then there was a comforting feeling. The pain went away. And then I looked outside through the window. I thought, "Wow, the chapel!" in a dreamy way. Then I realized that I was actually seeing the chapel!
I turned and ran down nine flights of stairs. I ran to the chapel and I prayed, "Thank you, God, thank you." Then I knocked on the priest's door. I was banging, yelling, "Father, Father, are you in there? I can see, I can see." He came out and I said, "Father, I can see!" I probably said it 100 times, I was so excited.
I walked outside, lay down on my back and watched the clouds. It was beautiful! I looked at the trees. I was overwhelmed. I'd forgotten what things looked like. You learn to see with your heart, but you forget the beauty of the flowers and the trees and of making eye contact when you talk to people.
I called my wife at school and then I called my sister Rhonda. I told her what had happened and that I needed to get home. At some point I saw myself. The last time I'd seen myself, I was 30 and had hair. Now I was 40 and pretty bald. I wondered where the time had gone.
After my sister dropped me off at home, I started going through the pictures of family and friends. I couldn't stop crying. Through those years I had played a big part in my wife and my children's lives, but in the pictures I saw what I really missed. I missed the smiles, the colors of the drawings they made me. I missed the beauty in all that.
In the late afternoon I heard my wife's car pull up. I was really nervous. I ran out and I remember looking at Connie and saying, "Oh my, you sure are beautiful!" We shared a few tears. Then we went to the babysitter's. The girls came walking out. They didn't know I could see. They hopped in the car. I turned and was just staring at them. Alea said, "Dad, are you okay?" I said, "I'm very okay. I can see you now." They wanted to test me right away. Kara wrote something on a paper and handed it to me. It said, "I love you, Big Daddy, I love you, Big Mama."
I later called Dr. Redmann, my ophthalmologist, and made an appointment. I could see 20/40. I was 20/20 before the accident. I asked him, "Is this going to leave?" He said, "I don't know. Your vision has returned. I can't explain it. Let's hope that it stays."
So here I am. I've accepted that God has a plan. I don't understand it, I may never understand it. I'm just thankful I've been given this second chance. I'm looking forward to birthdays, to Christmas. Now I look forward to every day. I wake up in the morning and I say, "I can see. It's going to be a good day."

I am working with the KDE 4.0.3 desktop on a new laptop. I have
used GNU/Linux for several years but almost exclusively on the command
line. I decided to take a look at the new offerings of KDE as a
client GUI and must say and quite impressed (Plasma looks terrific)!
However, I am having an issue with getting my windows key to activate
the K menu. I looked at several other posting and KDE 4 must have a
different layout for the system settings because where the other posts
were telling me to go didn't exist. Others were saying to adjust
xkb. I tried looking for that binary, but couldn't find it on my
system (Kubuntu). Any help would greatly be appreciated.
Also does anyone know if the "KWin Cover Switch Effect" and
"Wobbling Windows" are just new features to the KDE 4.1 beta or do I
have them in the 4.0.3 release as well?

McALISTERVILLE - After adding a new unit to their motorcycle service shop, owners Andy and Seth Zendt are able to offer customers something they may not be able to find anywhere else locally.
This past winter, the Zendts added a performance center to their McAlisterville business. The performance center includes a mobile dynamometer unit which is a full diagnostic machine stored in a trailer, Andy Zendt said.
It is able to check the horsepower and torque of motorcycles for shows. And in the shop, it is used as a diagnostic tool. It can tune the fuel injection of carburated bikes and pinpoint problems.

Andy Zendt, left, and his brother Seth, co-owners of North Ridge Custom Cycles in McAlisterville, perform a demonstration using their new mobile dynamometer unit, which they added to their motorcycle shop last winter. The unit is a diagnostic machine and is used both in the shop and on the road.
"We diagnose the problems with the fuel injection system ... (and) carburator system," he said.
The tool is also used for mobile builds, engine development and performance upgrades with even small things - such as a loose belt, or transmission and electrical issues - can be pinpointed by the unit, Zendt said.
Air-to-fuel ratios, which show how lean or rich a motorcycle's motor is, are also measured by the unit, Zendt said.
"Air-to-fuel ratios are the most important information for us to properly tune one of our motor builds, changing to an after-market exhaust or air filter, or tuning a bike with fuel injection or carburation issues," he said.
Although the performance center is a part of the shop, it is run as a separate business and is brought to shows two to three weekends per month, Zendt said.
"It allows us to take it on the road and we get more use out of it," he said.
Andy said he and Seth got the idea to add the performance center to their business because there are no other mobile dyna units in the area. Theirs is the only one of which they are aware, besides those at Harley Davidson shops. The next-closest one is in Maryland, Zendt said.
The Zendts purchased the unit, Andy said, because it is the only way to successfully tune a fuel-injected bike.
"That has allowed us to open more doors for our motor jobs as well as the tuning aspect," Zendt said. "Since carburated bikes were no longer being produced around 2006 for v-twin bikes, we felt it was necessary to have this tool at our fingertips."
He also says how that North Ridge Custom Cycles offers the mobile dyna unit, its customer base has changed.
"We knew we built great motors, but having the dyna now gives us hard data (to) show our customers the potential they could have," Zendt said.
Zendt also says that besides the development of the customer base, the unit also has solidified the businesses' motor builds.
"It has expanded the performance aspect of re-building motors," he said.
North Ridge Custom Cycles is a full-service shop. It specializes in motor builds for v-twin motorcycles and bike repairs, and offers services and maintenance parts, accessories and tires for any bike.
Andy, co-owner of North Ridge Custom Cycles, said his brother Seth started the business in 2005 as a part-time operation. Then, in 2008, the company became full-time and just last year, Andy joined as co-owner, he said.

Whistleblower Laws and Ethics
Robert T. Begg
Albany Law School
ETHICAL STANDARDS IN THE PUBLIC SECTOR: A GUIDE FOR GOVERNMENT LAWYERS, CLIENTS, AND PUBLIC OFFICIALS, Patricia Salkin, ed., American Bar Association, 2008
This chapter is an overview of the law and ethics of whistleblowing. It begins with the reasons why whistleblowing is so controversial and then focuses on the conflict between competing public policies that has led to a statutory erosion of the at-will employment doctrine. Next, federal and state whistleblower statutes and their underlying purposes are examined, as are statutory financial incentives meant to encourage whistleblowers. Finally, the chapter concludes by analyzing special issues encountered by in-house counsel and government lawyers who are placed in the role of whistleblower.

Police: DNA links man to bank robberies
Red Lion suspect drops sweatshirt after robbery, police say
UPDATED 1:43 PM EDT Sep 04, 2012
DNA evidence helped link a Red Lion man to four bank robberies and an attempted bank robbery in York County.
Benjamin Lewis Pohl has been arrested in connection with these bank robberies: A Sovereign Bank in York Township in July 2011 and in September 2011; an MT&T Bank in Fawn Grove in October 2011; and a People's Bank in Windsor Township in January 2012, police said.
In June 2012, Pohl tried to rob the same Sovereign Bank a third time, police said.
Investigators said DNA from a sweatshirt he dropped after the September 2011 robbery helped them connect him to the crimes.

4 heavenly uses for hard-cooked eggs
This weekend, the refrigerator will be filled with ham, asparagus, pasta sauce, salad greens and dozens of brightly colored hard-cooked eggs.
Unfortunately, long after the backyard Easter egg hunt is over and the holiday dinner is complete, there will probably still be dozens of hard-cooked eggs in the refrigerator. Why? Because we always color way more eggs than anyone could possibly eat in one afternoon, and high-tech plastic eggs have corned the outdoor egg hunt market.
Then comes the big question: If you prefer hard-cooked eggs, are they still safe to eat when the festivities are over?
If the eggs were at room temperature for less than two hours during the hunt -- and they've been hard-cooked for less than a week -- they're perfectly safe and edible.
If they were at room temperature more than two hours because the hunt was delayed or no one found them in time, save the memories and pitch the eggs.
Luckily, hard-cooked eggs are suitable for many different uses. They can be quartered and cut for spring salads, chopped for egg salad, or mashed for that family favorite -- deviled eggs.
Although the term "deviled eggs" dates back to the 19th century, when particularly hot spices were used to mask inferior ingredients, today "deviling" simply means the food is well-seasoned. Luckily there's a wider range of seasonings and ingredients used in today's kitchens that are far less spicy.
As a general rule, if it tastes good in an omelet, it's certainly possible to use that ingredient when stuffing an egg. And because most calories are attached to the mayonnaise or sour cream found in traditional recipes, try lighter versions.
Dressed up with decorative garnishes or simply sprinkled with paprika, deviled eggs lend themselves to festive gatherings, quick snacks and casual dining. But be careful if you're making them ahead. Deviled eggs start to dry out and darken as they sit.
To prevent this from happening, loosely cover the eggs (without actually touching the yolk mixture) by using toothpicks or overturned ramekins to elevate the plastic wrap.
Whether they're deviled or just plain stuffed, you can be sure these eggs will taste heavenly.

Silent Hill: Revelation (2012)
14 mistakes
Directed by: Michael J. Bassett
Starring: Adelaide Clemens, Carrie-Anne Moss, Kit Harington, Sean Bean
New this week Other mistake: When Heather and Christopher are talking in the kitchen near the beginning, some of the reverse angles on Christopher are noticeably somewhat out-of-focus.
Continuity mistake: In the first movie the "Welcome to Silent Hill" sign is on the right. In this movie it's on the left.
Plot hole: There is a scene where Heather pulls the mask off one of the cult-members, and the air literally poisons him, causing his skin to discolor and his throat to choke up. This never happens before or after. Vincent claims that those particular cult-members have superstitions about the air being poisonous, but there are a multitude of problems with this explanation: A) We have seen numerous other people go unaffected by the air, and B) we later see several of these same cult-members in the sanctuary, unmasked, breathing the same "poisonous" air with no adverse effects. (And Claudia had stated that even the sanctuary is no longer safe from the darkness of Silent Hill, so they are technically breathing the same "poison" air that's outside).
Continuity mistake: When Heather is in the elevator, and the monster slashes it up, the hole on top changes to a bigger cut in the next shots.
Revealing mistake: When Rose is in the mirror, her hand is under the husbands, when she removes it his hand moves along with it, but his real hand doesn't move.
Continuity mistake: When Pyramid Head cuts the prisoners arms off, one falls in front of Heather, the distance between heather and the arm change between shots.
Audio problem: When Heather is reading her dads note in the car to Silent Hill, the letter and the voice over do not match. (the second paragraph starts off by saying: "But you desire" and the last word right before "I love you" is "place" but through out the reading you do not hear those words.
Continuity mistake: At the end, when Claudia transforms into the final creature after touching the seal/amulet, her human body begins to disintegrate. As she screams and the scene cuts from a medium shot to a closeup, all of her hair suddenly vanishes between shots.
Revealing mistake: When the blind guy puts the Seal or key into his chest you can see for the first two times he "hits" it to his chest, that he is not hitting himself at all.
Revealing mistake: When Heather is in Silent hill, (right after the Mannequin part.) and talks to Alessa's mother, if you look at her nostrils you can see two rings of clean skin. (the rings are there for make-up reasons) but then after the flashback they are gone.
Continuity mistake: When Heather comes home to see that her dad is missing. She sees the Come to Silent Hill, and the lamp is some what on the chair's arm. When the cops come in the room the lamp changes.
Continuity mistake: In the first film, "Red Pyramid" is portrayed as absolutely massive. (Judging by the scene in which he rips a cultist's skin off, he is about 10-12' tall) Yet, as evidenced in the final fight sequence, he appears to be significantly smaller in this film. (7-8' tall).
Visible crew/equipment: When the cart falls over with the nurses, when it hits the ground, the camera shakes.
Continuity mistake: When Heather is in the mall and sees the guy hanging upside down, the way the man rips the flesh looks and moves is fake, you can see the hole of were the flesh ends.

Guest Voice of Rev. Robert M. Franklin: Honor MLK by giving away your books
I think that Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. would be pleased to see how we celebrate his life and legacy each year. Many Americans gather for interfaith and interracial worship services, engage in community service projects, and spend time examining our progress in eliminating poverty, racism and violence. Ever since King's birthday became a national holiday, I have done all of these.
But this year will be different. I plan to honor King by starting to give away most of my library one book at a time. And I'd like to urge others to join me by sharing the gift of knowledge and literacy with young people.
After 40 years of building a personal library comprising thousands of books, I will begin to deconstruct it by sharing those books and inscribing each one with a personal note to my former students, friends and other interested people. It would be easier to pack them into boxes and donate them to an institution. And my wife would be thrilled by this stroke of instant decluttering. I want this gesture to be more than philanthropy or housecleaning. I want it to be a transfer of knowledge and of my love of learning. Harvard University professor Helen Vendler said that it is the job of teachers and adults to teach our students to love the things that we have loved.
My decision to do this came after spending time with King's library and his personal papers at Morehouse College, Stanford University, and the King Center in Atlanta. It was a privilege to read his notes, questions, disagreements, favorite quotes and new ideas scribbled in the margins of special books and handwritten manuscripts.
Soon the world will be able to see those inspiring and wise documents on exhibit at the new National Center for Civil and Human Rights in downtown Atlanta. King's library is important because it offers clues about the making of a great mind and a courageous leader. His ideas about the world, about race, war, and even God evolved and changed over time, and it is exciting and interesting to follow that movement.
According to the Statistic Brain Research Institute, 80 percent of American households did not purchase a single book in 2013. As traditional bookstores are vanishing, this trend will grow worse, contributing to a crisis of literacy for many young people, especially the four-fifths of Americans who have never read an electronic book. The unsettling thing is that I may be part of the problem.
I have nearly stopped buying hard-copy books and begun to purchase e-books. My new library is now increasingly inside the cyber cloud and available on my mobile devices. Also, I seldom write a note by hand. E-mails and texts have become my compositional currency.
Despite the Pew Research Center's finding that 20 percent of Americans have read an e-book and e-book readers read more than print book readers, I don't think that losing printed books is a very good trend for the future of civilization. What texts will archaeologists look for in a thousand years?
So, until I can figure out a way to change the tide, I'm doing my best to keep the printed books I love in circulation, and transforming them into gems that I hope others will cherish. The King holiday is a time for every American to do something tangible to reduce violence, eliminate prejudice and eradicate poverty. But it is also a time to be inspired to share books, support literacy and preserve the ancient glory of the printed word.
REV. ROBERT M. FRANKLIN JR. is the director of Chautauqua Institution's Department of Religion and president emeritus of Morehouse College in Atlanta (firstname.lastname@example.com).

In an intense Conference Championship Sunday, there were numerous surprises. There were those who exceeded expectations, and there were those who disappointed.
This article is about the latter category.
Some players made the list purely because of awful play. Others made it because the expectations for them were so high, and they simply didn't live up to the great expectations.
Every player on this list, though, failed to play as well as he was expected to.

29-year-old Stefan Jordan was arrested on charges of pimping, living off the avails of prostitution, and exercising control of someone under 18.
The alleged victim says she was recruited as a prostitute last month as a 17-year-old.
Toronto police also have a warrant out for the arrest of 22-year-old Jessica Naoufal.
Police believe there may be other victims.

Based on projections from the experts, it looks like the SEC will get five teams in the NCAA Tournament. Maybe. If nothing goes wrong. And on the surface, that doesn't look too bad.
But a closer look. ...
... tells a different story.
Jerry Palm has five teams in his bracket on CBS Sportsline.com, updated Wednesday. But three of those five are double-digit seeds -- which means they are among the last of the 34 at-large teams added to the bracket. So for Florida, Kentucky and South Carolina, an unexpected hiccup between now and the end of the season could prove disastrous.
Joe Lunardi also has five SEC teams in his bracket, updated today. But Florida is among his "Last Four In" the field. Still, Tennessee and South Carolina are No. 9 seeds while Kentucky is at No. 10. Dangerous spots to be in for all three. As in a margin of error really doesn't exist.
Only LSU is safe. The SEC champs are a No. 6 seed in both brackets, according to Palm and Lunardi.
But you would think the best team in the SEC would be worthy of a much higher seed. In fact, over the last five years, the SEC champ has been either a No. 1 or 2 seed -- except in 2006, when LSU was a No. 4 seed.
If you're wondering about the NIT, the folks at NITology.com have Ole Miss, Mississippi State, Vanderbilt and Auburn in their field along with South Carolina. Apparently, they're either pessimistic the Gamecocks are going to the Big Dance or optimistic about getting USC for their tourney.
But, Auburn is listed as the final team among those solidly in the field and Vandy is rated as being on the bubble. Both would be well-advised to keep winning if they want to play in the postseason.
Having typed all that, there are some huge games this weekend.
Start in the West. Auburn plays at Mississippi State with second place at stake. And don't forget that the second-place team in division gets a first-round bye in the SEC tourney -- which could be huge for the West team to possibly make a Georgia-like run and sneak in the Big Dance.
In the East in a Sunday CBS special at 2 p.m., Tennessee plays at Florida -- where the Gators have won 17 straight, so the Vols struggles seem likely to continue. Of course, if Florida stumbles, it could boot them right out of the NCAA bracket.
And South Carolina plays at Vandy, a tough venue for road teams. A SC loss would forge another tie atop the East standings with two games to go.

Tracked: Jonathan Saunders
The countdown to the fashion designer's spring show
Jonathan Saunders is a master of color and print, and the Scottish designer's spring collection, shown Sunday at London Fashion Week, pushed those talents to new heights in a riot of hues. From delicate 1930s tea dresses in the softest pastels, to '70s disco suede jackets and rainbow prints reminiscent of '90s rave culture, the clothes brought together some of the most hedonistic decades of the past century into one showstopping, devil-may-care extravaganza.
6:45 P.M. | With a little over an hour to go before showtime, Mr. Saunders makes last-minute adjustments to his designs.
6:55 P.M. | Mr. Saunders fits model Nimuë Smit in an embroidered silk tea dress, as his right-hand woman and head ready-to-wear designer, Greta Villiger, looks on.
7 P.M. | In Tate Britain's gallery nine, model Pauline Hoarau gets her makeup done.
7:05 P.M. | Mr. Saunders double-checks the look board to ensure things are catwalk-ready.
7:15 P.M. | Fashion journalist Tim Blanks interviews Mr. Saunders. Later, in his style.com review, he will call the collection "a perverse delight."
7:20 P.M. | Ms. Hoarau gets her hair done. The models all had their hair parted in the middle, with gentle waves, for a casual and relaxed vibe.
8:20 P.M. | Marine Deleeuw and Antonina Vasylchenko pose preshow.
8:40 P.M. | Models walk through the Duveen galleries of Tate Britain one last time in the show's finale.
8:45 P.M. | As the show ends, Mr. Saunders takes a bow.
—Rebecca Thomas
Corrections & Amplifications
Greta Villiger is Jonathan Saunders's head ready-to-wear designer. An earlier version of this article incorrectly described her as his head knitwear designer.

A poster, one LucyHoney2, has this to say, in responding to my blog on the proposed U.S. 280 toll road:
Hey Joey,
While you're waiting on that toll road, why not go over to the article here on Al.com about Sarah Palin and read all of the nasty comments posted about her? I remember you made a point of chastizing readers for their meanness to Larry Langford. Surely you can spare the time to send the same message on Mrs. Palin's account. Or does the fact that she a conservative Republican make the nastiness all right?
Of course, LucyHoney2 is correct. Nasty, personal comments about anybody on these blogs is uncalled for. Why not discuss issues, keep the comments on the high ground, learn to argue in a constructive way?
But that's not going to happen when people find it much easier (and apparently, more satisfying) to slap somebody down. Especially when they can do it anonymously, with no consequences.
Will we even be talking about Sara Palin when the next presidential election comes around? I doubt it. She's pretty thin when discussing serious issues that face the country; she misrepresents her opponents' viewpoints; her judgment is suspect. But she deserves to be treated respectfully when we disagree with her. Her oldest son is in the military; she's doing nothing wrong by cashing in on her few minutes of fame; she has a substantial following. Do I want her finger on the launch button? No way. Still, she can be criticized without it all getting so personal. Plus, ad hominem attacks only weaken any argument.
I do find it intersting that LucyHoney2 would chastise me for not defending Palin. What I've tried to do -- on this blog, anyway, I can't monitor them all -- is keep the discourse at a decent level; I don't want anybody treating anybody else disrespectfully. I know, it doesn't always work, especially when a hot-button is pushed. But that won't stop me from trying.
Know this about LucyHoney2 -- she generally makes compelling comments and tries to be constructive. She doesn't use her anonymity to trash people for the thrill. She holds her own. Too bad more commenters don't follow her lead. What posters like LucyHoney2 should do is help police the blogs on which they post. When they see somebody getting ugly -- even when they agree -- they should intervene.
I never get upset when somebody disagrees with me on an issue. That's one of the wonderful characteristics about the United States. We can disagree, and the government doesn't kill you because of it. But we can get pretty mean, too, can't we? That's when it starts to hurt.
What do you think?

Ipalogama 'Ranajayapura' Pre School Kids Display Artistic Talents
2011-08-05 16:41:24
Kids learning at Ministry of Defence (MoD) managed Ipalogama 'Ranajayapura' pre-school and Seva Vanitha Army Branch (SVAB) run Minneriya and Anuradhapura 'Viru Kekulu' pre-schools exhibited their exceptional artistic talents and handicrafts during their separate annual Exhibitions on Friday (5) at Ipalogama Housing Complex Minneriya and Anuradhapura.
Of the three exhibitions, the one at Ipalogama, managed by Mrs Ioma Rajapaksa, Chairperson, MoD Seva Vanitha Branch displayed high standards, judged by what those kids had crafted for the Exhibition and impressed the visitors to the venue.
Replicas of religious, cultural, environmental, scientific and other interests, created by those kids drew the attentions of all those visited the Exhibition at Ipalogama and came in for praise of the Chief Guest, Mrs Rani Jayatillake, Secretary to SVAB who declared open the Exhibition after she was conducted to the venue amidst a warm welcome by kids and teachers.
Mrs Jayatillake having a close look at those exhibits at Ipalogama expressed her appreciation and complements to the staff and the kids for their dedication in view of the international standards of their products put up for the exhibition.
The same evening, Mrs Manjulika Jayasuriya, President SVAB visited the Minneriya 'Viru Kekulu' exhibition of handicrafts and paintings, done by the kids. She declared open the exhibition afterwards and enjoyed viewing their talents, produced for the exhibition.
Before the inauguration of the exhibition, Mrs Jayasuriya unveiled the Buddha statue and the shrine erected in the pre-school premises. A stock of western musical instruments donated by the Sri Lanka Army Ordnance Corps (SLAOC) Seva Vanitha unit was also handed over to the Chief Guest, Mrs Jayasuriya by Mrs M. Salley, Chairperson, SLAOC Seva Vanitha unit.
Meanwhile, Mrs Anusha Samarasinghe, a senior member of the SVAB visited the Viru Kekulu Pre-school at Anuradhapura and declared open the annual Exhibition organized by the kids.

Syracuse, NY -- BOB NIEDT
Our very own Metro Mattress isn't taking business growth laying down.
The growing Liverpool-based bedding chain recently opened its 43rd Metro Mattress, in the Tops Plaza on North Triphammer Road near Ithaca.
David Shiroff, who purchased Metro Mattress in September 2000 when it was but nine stores, credits Metro's work force for the company's continued growth.
"It's the epitome of a team effort here at Metro Mattress," said Shiroff, who is president and chief executive officer of Metro Mattress. "We're blessed with one of the great teams."
Shiroff said the bedding-store chain could grow to 50 stores by the end of 2012. A Metro Mattress is scheduled to open in Oneonta possibly by the end of the year. Four stores are in the works for next year.
"We've not only survived through a really tough economy, but we're absolutely thriving during it," said Shiroff. "We're seeing second- and third-generation customers coming back to us."
Express checkout
ÖWhen you have a successful toy shop, it's only logical to open a candy store right next door. I mean, come on, right?
And so it is, Village Toy Shop in Fayetteville, celebrating its second anniversary, has Village Candy Shop opening right next door — right now.
"We're just opening," said Chris Willis, who owns both stores at 511 E. Genesee St., in Fayetteville Square. "We have more than 60 bulk jars of candy to choose from, plus more than 75 different chocolates, including 50 varieties of truffles homemade locally."
Plus, said Willis, "all the nostalgic candy, the penny candies."
The adjacent shops feed into each other for customer flow from one to the other.
Village Toy Shop has been enough of a success that Willis recently grew it into a larger space in Fayetteville Square.
"It is going very well," said Willis.
ÖWhen a new Tim Hortons coffee and bake shop comes to Clay, it will displace the JD's Fish 'n Grill on Route 57 at Route 31.
Tim Hortons will soon be doing some remodeling of the building, according to Mark Territo, Clay's planning commissioner. JD's is on board until mid-October.
But JD's is looking for some major changes in its other shop, in DeWitt, according to owner Jim Darnieder.
That JD's will expand in a big way: On its way is a full-service restaurant, first with a wine-and-beer-license, later with a full liquor license.
"We're in the throes of working with an architect right now," said Darnieder."
The menu will expand the fish lineup, going beyond fried.
"Quite frankly, the demographic of those who eat fried fish is going away," said Darnieder. "We need to appeal to a wider audience."

On February 5, 1996 selected branches of Safeway and Sainsbury's supermarkets throughout the United Kingdom started to sell tomato purée made from genetically-modified tomatoes. It proved very popular with shoppers.
By July 1999, however, the product had been withdrawn. What was it, and how and why was it made?
A European first
Labels on both the cans clearly stated that the product had been made with genetically modified tomatoes. Although there was at that time no legal requirement to label the product, both supermarkets adopted an 'open' information policy from the start. This was the first time that food made from a genetically modified organism has been sold in Europe. For the inquisitive customer there was no shortage of information: leaflets were available describing the product and its benefits to the environment and consumer. Brief details of genetic modification and the regulatory processes through which the product has had to pass were also given.
According to the supermarkets, sales in the 80-odd stores in which supplies were initially available were brisk. Figures indicated that once they bought the product, shoppers came back for more. In November 1997, Safeway Stores announced that they had sold three quarters of a million cans of the product, and that average sales per store of the modified tomato purée exceeded those of the conventional equivalent. One reason might have been the price: the new purée cost 29 pence for 170 grams while the traditional form cost slightly more: 29 pence for a mere 142 grams.
Both supermarket chains pledged that the new product would always be offered alongside its old-fashioned counterpart. This move pleased consumer groups, which had no objection to the purée, provided that it was deemed safe to eat by the regulatory authorities and that consumers were always given a choice.
However, commercial pressures generated by public concern about GM foods early in 1999 forced Sainsbury's to announce that it would withdraw the product from sale. Stocks were exhausted by July 1999.
There has been great confusion about the tomato purée, which was produced by the British firm Zeneca Seeds (subsequently part of Syngenta). Many so-called 'experts' regularly confused it with the Calgene Flavr Savr, an unrelated type of fresh tomato that was sold only in the USA (see below). A particularly inaccurate and misleading article even appeared in the scientific journal Nature in April 1999 (Nature 398, pages 651-656).
Why was the tomato developed?
Tomatoes are one of the world's most important crops by virtue of the volume produced (70 million tonnes world wide in 1993) and their contribution to our nutritional needs. Conventional breeding procedures have generated improved tomato varieties with acceptable flavour and handling qualities for the fresh fruit and appropriate rheological characteristics for processed products. However, fresh tomatoes still do not fully meet consumer expectations in terms of flavour and the food industry constantly seeks improvements in processing characteristics.
Therefore novel approaches have been sought through the use of DNA technology to accelerate the introduction of new tomato varieties. Research has been aimed at understanding the complexities of the ripening process at the molecular level and at developing methods for the modification of tomato quality.
Several research groups have given this their attention but not only with the aim of producing a better tomato. Indeed the overall purpose was to gain a better understanding of ripening processes in general by studying the tomato, which is a relatively easy fruit on which to work. It was expected that benefits gained would be transferable to other fruit and vegetable crops including apples, bananas, mangoes, melons, nectarines, sweet peppers, peaches, pineapples and strawberries.
The outcome has been the isolation of a large number of genes which are expressed either exclusively or preferentially in the ripening and ripe tomato. Some of the genes (effect genes) were expected to have relevance to the major targets identified by the tomato industry, that is: viscosity, handling characteristics, soluble solids, colour and taste.
Professor Don Grierson led one of these research groups. It began work in the mid-1970s at the University of Nottingham and then began a collaboration with the (then) British firm Zeneca Seeds. Improved methods were developed for the modification of the expression of genes during plant growth and development. Recombinant DNA techniques were used to introduce into the plant genome shortened PG genes that are not translated into a functional protein. With this approach improvements in tomato texture were obtained by inhibition of enzymes involved in cell wall metabolism.
Reduced enzyme activity
Cellulose, hemi-celluloses and pectins are cell wall components which contribute to textural characteristics. The research focused on the enzymes which are responsible for modifying pectins during normal tomato development. One such enzyme is polygalacturonase (PG), a pectinase, which hydrolyses the alpha-1,4 linkages in the polygalacturonic acid component of cell walls. Pectin esterase (PE) is also involved in pectin modification.
The PG enzyme is synthesised only during ripening of the tomato and is found within the cell wall compartment of pericarp cells. The function of PG during the natural ripening process is to break down the pectin of the middle lamella of the fruit cell wall, thereby causing the fruit to soften. The gene encoding PG was cloned. Tomatoes modified with a shortened PG gene were found to have only 1% of the residual levels of the PG activity of the unmodified fruit and, consequently, pectin of a considerably greater chain length. Moreover, the composition of low PG, genetically modified fruit was otherwise indistinguishable from that of the unmodified tomato. Thus it became possible to slow the natural softening process of ripening without interrupting development of desirable flavour and colour. This can benefit tomato processing by providing an opportunity to produce sauces, ketchups and purées with the desired thickness because of retention of high levels of pectin.
Towards commercialisation
Modified tomato lines were grown under semi-commercial conditions in glasshouses and their value for processing was assessed. An increase of 80% in a measure of viscosity which reflects tomato paste yield potential was obtained in the low PG tomato lines. Other work indicated their value also in producing tomato juice with improved processing characteristics. Regarding low PE tomatoes, assessments indicate that the major effect of PE reduction is to increase serum viscosity which enhances the glossy appearance of the tomato purée.
In 1989 the work moved on to field scale trials in Chile and California in a collaboration between Zeneca and the Peto Seed Company which successfully achieved its aim of generating genetically improved hybrids for the tomato processing industry for use on a commercial scale.
The outcome was a tomato purée with the desired rheological properties. There were also production cost advantages through a reduced need for heat treatment both to reduce PG activity and, as the modified fruit contains less water, to concentrate the purée before canning. Another cost benefit came from there being less wastage of the firmer fruit by damage during transport. The reduced heat treatment also provided better retention of natural flavour compounds and contributed to conservation of energy resources.
As the tomato was produced using genetic modification, it is a legal requirement for the product to be subjected to extensive review by the appropriate regulatory authorities before being given approval for sale in the UK. The tomato was grown in California because the British climate is unsuitable. However, the whole tomato could not be marketed in Europe because, as a viable GMO (genetically modified organism), marketing consent would be needed under European Directive 90/220/EEC.
The Flavr Savr
Researchers at Calgene in Davis, California, working for the Campbell Soup Company, made use of a different DNA technology ('antisense' technology) to produce similar effects. The antisense gene's mRNA binds to the normal mRNA and in so doing 'silences' the gene. The modified tomatoes produced only 1% of the normal amount of the enzyme polygalacturonase, so the fruit did not soften so fast as they ripened.
Calgene's modified tomato was dubbed the Flavr Savr, the name which was also given to the patented antisense gene. The name reflects the improved taste of the tomatoes, which, because they could be left on the plant until fully-ripened, tasted better than tomatoes which were picked when green and ripened artificially (a common practice in the USA, although not in Europe).
In May 1994 the Flavr Savr was cleared by the US Food and Drug Administration for sale to US consumers. This was the first fresh genetically-modified fruit or vegetable to be sold in the world. Permission to sell the fruit in Canada and Mexico was also obtained in 1995. Calgene eventually marketed the tomatoes under the MacGregor brand name, and they were sold in over 3,000 stores throughout the western United States. Although the Flavr Savr was subsequently cleared for sale in the UK, provided that it was labelled, it could not have been sold there without European marketing consent. However, before this could be considered (a process which would have taken about 2 years) the tomato was withdrawn from production. During the scale-up in commercial production, unacceptably low yields were obtained. The Flavr Savr tomato is no longer produced.

Despite inaccurate press reports to the contrary, the GM tomato purée was never used in anything in the UK but the Sainsbury's and Safeway's tinned products. The ketchup shown above was produced solely as a promotional item by Zeneca Seeds.

The Ontario government is putting one of Sault Ste. Marie's landmark buildings, Roberta Bondar Place, up for sale.
It's part of the McGuinty government's Realty Transformation Strategy which includes selling off other provincial buildings across Ontario, including government buildings in Sudbury and Thunder Bay.
Whoever buys these properties will inherit government tenants. In a Jan. 15 news release from the Ministry of Infrastructure, the plan is to sell and lease back nine government buildings.
As part of its deficit-reduction plan, the government said the sale and leaseback should generate as much as $500 million in revenue and a savings of almost $300 million over the next 25 to 30 years.
With 265,000-square-feet of space, Bondar Place, built in 1991, is home to various ministries including Natural Resources, Northern Development and Mines, Transportation, and the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation.

30 Second Mysteries TM for Kids
1 Giant Mystery Decoder
75 Mystery Cards with 150 Mysteries
To be the first team to solve enough mysteries to reach the top of the Giant Mystery Decoder.
1. Choose your teams.
2. Decide which team will use the purple score mover on the Giant Mystery Decoder and which will use the green score mover.
3. Make sure each team's score mover on the Giant Mystery Decoder is at the bottom, next to the handle.
4. Place the Mystery Cards in a stack between the two teams.
1. The team with the player whose birthday is closest to Halloween goes first. This team will get a chance to solve the mystery first, so they hold onto the Giant Mystery Decoder.
2. One player on the other team will act as the Reader. S/he will not try to solve this card's mystery.
3. The Reader draws the top Mystery Card and turns it over. The Reader may not show the card to anyone else.
4. In his/her spookiest voice, the Reader reads the title at the top of the card "The Case" and "The Mystery."
5. After "The Mystery" is read, the first team must try to solve it. When they decide on their guess, they hand the Giant Mystery Decoder over to the Reader.
6. The Reader holds the Giant Mystery Decoder over "The Solution" at the bottom of the card to magically reveal the answer, without showing it to anyone.
a. If the team solved the mystery, the Reader shows everyone the decoded answer and clicks the team's score mover ahead on the Giant Mystery Decoder. In this case, the Guessing Team moves ahead five notches, one notch for every point they earned (see the Scoring Guide, on the next page).
b. If the team didn't solve the mystery, play moves to the other team. They are handed the Mystery Decoder.
i. The Reader reads this team the first clue. This team now has a chance to try to solve the mystery. Once they decide on their answer, they hand the Mystery Decoder to the Reader to see if they are right.
ii. Play continues this way, going back and forth between the two teams, until one of them solves the mystery or the card is finished.
iii. Whoever solves the mystery gets the points. The number of points awarded depends on how many clues were revealed
5 Points- Solve the mystery by hearing the title of the mystery and the case only.
4 Points- Solve the mystery by hearing the title, the case and one clue.
3 Points- Solve the mystery by hearing the title, the case and two clues.
2 Points- Solve the mystery by hearing the title, the case and three clues.
1 Point- Solve the mystery by hearing the title, the case and all four clues.
7. After the mystery is revealed, a new Reader is selected from the other team and a new card is drawn. (Note: If the mystery is not solved, no one is awarded points and the solution is revealed to all players.)
The team that gets its score mover to the top of the Giant Mystery Decoder first wins the game!
When your team makes a guess, make sure it's one the whole group agrees on. Don't hand over your Giant Mystery Decoder to the Reader until your team decides on an answer.
To help your team make its guess, ask the Reader to re-read any or all parts of the card that have already been read. You may ask the Reader to do this as often as you like.
In this game, one player is the Reader, and the other player is the Guesser. Scoring and game play are the same, except that play does not move back and forth:
1. The Reader holds the card. The Guesser holds the Giant Mystery Decoder.
2. The Reader reads the title, "The Case" and "The Mystery."
3. The Guesser decides whether to try to solve the mystery or get a clue. The fewer clues the Guesser is given, the more points s/he will get (see the Scoring Guide above). When the Guesser is ready to solve the mystery, s/he hands the Giant Mystery Decoder to the Reader to see if s/he is right.
a. If the Guesser solved the mystery, s/he moves ahead on the Giant Mystery Decoder one space for every point earned.
b. If the Guesser didn't solve the mystery, the Reader reads the next clue. The Guesser continues trying to solve the mystery until the entire card is read. If s/he doesn't solve the mystery at all, the Reader reveals the solution and the Guesser gets no points.
4. When the mystery is solved or the card is finished, the Guesser and the Reader change roles.

FAIRMONT - Four area softball players were recently named to the All-Big 10 Conference first team.
Elkins' Jordan Hart and Sydney Leary, Buckhannon-Upshur's Julie Tenney and Philip Barbour's Haelli Killen were honored.
Hart, a third baseman, and Leary, an outfielder, helped lead the Tigers to a sectional title and berth in Class AAA regional semifinals.
Tenney, who was also a first-team Class AAA All-State selection, helped the Bucs reach the regional finals from her first baseman position.
Killen was selected as a utility player and was one of the top pitchers and hitters for the Colts.
The remainder of the first team included Bridgeport's Danielle Dennison and Molly Layne, Liberty's Kaylee Ritter, Presley Lamm and Allyssa Jones, North Marion's Taylor Wells, Lincoln's Megan Earnest, Preston's Tiffany Barnett and Robert C. Byrd's Corin Todd.
North Marion's Chelsi Latocha was the league's Pitcher of the Year, East Fairmont's Victoria Postlewait the Player of the Year and North's Brad Harker the Coach of the Year.
Second-team selections include Lincoln's Hope Bray, Santana Cramer, Makayla McEwayne, Sarah Martin, Emily Knight and Josie Payton, Grafton's Mackenzie Cox, East Fairmont's Hanna Ferrell and Cassidy Toothman, North Marion's Shelby King, Amanda Sigley and Paige Efaw, Lewis County's Tori Riley and RCB's Ashley Bassel.

EDITORIAL: The auto strike
As we go to press, the United Auto Workers has called a time out in its strike against General Motors pending membership ratification of a new contract. It's expected that the contract will be ratified quickly. While we do not yet know the full terms of the contract, it most likely contains concessions. In today's political climate, and in the face of capitalist globalization, the balance of class forces often makes it a victory if unions can just hold on.
U. Minn. workers to vote on contract
As union leaders emphasized that the struggle will continue, the AFSCME negotiating committee at the University of Minnesota decided last week to call off the union's strike and submit the administration's contract offer to the membership without a "yes" recommendation.
Conn. AFL-CIO stresses worker unity
NEW HAVEN, Conn. — Defending immigrant rights, ending the war in Iraq, winning quality health care and organizing the unorganized topped the agenda of the 50th anniversary convention of the Connecticut AFL-CIO here last week.
Mexico City poised to adopt jobless insurance
MEXICO CITY — The Federal District (DF), the area that encompasses Mexico City, continues to be in the forefront of progressive social change in Mexico, as the district's left-wing government has announced plans to set up an unemployment insurance program. And its passage in the Legislative Assembly here seems likely.
Solidarity and Mexican truckers
The U.S. Senate voted 75-23 Sept. 11 to ban Mexican trucks from U.S. highways. The vote rejected a Bush administration program that would allow Mexican truck drivers to operate beyond commercial zones near the Mexican border.
Striking loggers, environmentalists unite
PITTSBURGH — In front of 100 Home Depot stores in Canada and the United States, members of the United Steelworkers and environmental activists from the Sierra Club and the Rainforest Action Network will be distributing flyers, Sept. 29, asking shoppers not to buy wood products with Western Forest Products, Interfor and Weyerhaeuser (Cedar One) logos. More than 7,000 loggers and sawmill workers from five local unions affiliated with USW have been on strike in the Canadian northwest since July 21
Meatpackers union sues on immigration raids
Mike Graves, a 21-year veteran at the Swift & Co. plant in Marshalltown, Iowa, stood in front of a crowd of reporters in Washington, D.C., Sept. 12 and held a pair of handcuffs high over his head. Graves is a U.S. citizen who moved from his home in Mississippi 22 years ago and went to work as a meatpacker in Iowa.
EDITORIAL: Age of anxiety
Saying that the 130 million workers in the U.S. are worried about the economy is like saying Barry Bonds can hit home runs or Peyton Manning can throw a football.
Students and teachers back university strike
MINNEAPOLIS — Members of four locals of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME) representing 3,500 clerical, technical and health care workers at the University of Minnesota walked out Sept. 5 over pay issues.
BP weighed costs of refinery blast
HOUSTON — In the ongoing litigation against BP following the March 2005 blast at the company's Texas City oil refinery that killed 15 workers, a lawyer for some of the victims has produced an internal memo showing BP did a cost-benefit analysis that concluded it would be cheaper to not make structures blast-resistant than it would be to absorb the costs of a possible explosion.

A Muslim free school that failed an inspection last month is to be taken over by an academy chain, the Department for Education has announced.
Al-Madinah School in Derby will effectively be taken over by the Greenwood Dale trust based in Nottingham, which runs 22 academies.
Lord Nash, the minister responsible for academies, told the Al-Madinah's governors that they had not met the conditions of a series of ultimatums to improve the school that he set them last month.
His letter said that Shazia Parveen, Al-Madinah's chair of governors, and fellow trustees had "agreed to resign in due course".

No one appears on the horizon in American medicine to take the place of John Fulton. Perhaps no one will. In the literal sense he is irreplaceable. For some time I have had on my shelf of books, working itself into the gerundive position of those I am about to read, and at length have finished Fulton's study in humanism entitled The Great Medical Bibliographers. It was published by the University of Pennsylvania Press in 1951 and dedicated to the memory of Conrad Gesner, Albrecht von Haller, and John Shaw Billings. What a triumvirate! Anyone with interest in scholarship, in medicine, and in books ultimately comes to know something of great private collectors and private collections of books, as well as great or even meager libraries which ultimately become their repositories. This is true even when collections are shuffled and redealt by dealers or must be dissolved by importunate survivors.

Draft Watch: Party boy Dayle Garlett's AFL dream remains alive
- From: Herald Sun
- April 10, 2013
AFL RECRUITERS are refusing to put a definitive line through bad boy Dayle Garlett despite overlooking the mercurial talent in all three drafts last year and following his turbulent start to this season.
Garlett made a low-key return to senior football on Saturday and has quietly impressed his Swan Districts teammates with a radical attitude reversal.
It followed the prodigious talent failing to turn up to training or keep fit in the fallout from his AFL snub.
Garlett was rated as a top-10 talent for most of last year before talk of his off-field troubles spread like wildfire.
Draft Watch: This year's No. 1 pick has stardom in his blood
The West Australian was axed from the AIS-AFL squad at the start 2012, before photos of him drinking and smoking emerged on social media to further damage his reputation.
After missing out at the national draft, Essendon invited Garlett to train at Windy Hill on the premise it would consider handing him a lifeline should he show the necessary commitment.
But the Dons overlooked Garlett after he went on a 4am bender in Perth only three days before the pre-season draft.
Garlett then knocked back invitations to join the VFL, instead opting to stay at WAFL club Swan Districts this year.
The smooth-moving midfielder racked up 13 disposals and booted 2.2 in his senior return on Saturday after starting the season in the reserves due to his poor work ethic.
Follow Sam Landsberger on Twitter @SamLandsberger
"He's actually been training well and his behaviour is much, much better," one of his Swans teammates told SuperFooty yesterday.
One AFL scout said he would be surprised if Garlett didn't generate serious interest in this year's draft, partially owing to the reduced depth in the pool.
Another club's chief recruiter said: "It's very, very early, but if he can show sustained improvement for not just the season, but the months that follow, he'll be back in the mix."
Swan Districts coach Greg Harding last week described Garlett's revival as "fantastic" after his tumultuous summer.
Garlett's manager, Jason Dover from Stride Sports, last year told the Herald Sun the left-footer could become an "extraordinary" pick-up for a club "with the right resources".
"There's not many guys that have come along at senior WAFL level at his age and had the impact that Dayle Garlett has had,'' Dover said.
"Steve Coniglio maybe. Daniel Wells - that type of footballer. He's almost unmatched at that age."
The 19-year-old was named All-Australian last year along with top-10 draftees Jimmy Toumpas, Nick Vlastuin, Ollie Wines, Lachie Whitfield, Jono O'Rourke and Joe Daniher.
AFL talent manager Kevin Sheehan described Garlett as a "left-footed medium forward-midfielder who can find space to win the ball and shows great evasiveness through traffic. Very smart goalkicker and stoppage player as well."Originally published as Garlett's AFL dream still alive

State wildlife officials add more than $600,000 to its recent budget request to get a better handle on nuisance bear complaints.
Read: Seminole County bear attack report
Officials said, the extra money would mean more trappers to capture problem bears and it would add to the resources necessary to educate people about living around bears.
Officials think that the money could additionally help fund a population survey to get a better handle on how many bears there are statewide and where those populations are centered.
In December, Longwood resident Susan Chalfant, 54, was badly hurt by a bear as she walked her dogs.
Listen to the 911 call: Woman attacked by bear
Wildlife officials insist that the budget request to deal with bears is based on the overall numbers of calls, not just that one serious incident in December.
