Mandala Airlines may resume flight services in February after financial woes halted operations in January 2011, according to a government official.
Transportation Ministry inspectors recently finished checking two Mandala aircraft at Singapore's Changi International Airport, ministry airworthiness director Diding Sunardi said in Jakarta on
"Mandala should be able to fly on Feb. 15. The whole inspection process has finished and the
airline's Air Operator Certificate has entered the final [review] stage." Diding said.
The airline, which intends to operate new Airbus A320s, must resume service by Feb. 15 or its AOC would be revoked, Diding added.
"Mandala should be concerned about the timeframe that we have given."
Separately, Saratoga Capital investment manager Devin Wirawan said Mandala was ready.
"We are ready to fly on Feb. 15 as requested by the government. We are now just waiting for the AOC
issuance," Devin said.
Saratoga Capital currently controls 51 percent of Mandala, Singapore-based Tiger Airways owns 33 percent and other creditors hold the remaining 16 percent through a debt-to-equity swap.
Devin said that Mandala would follow provisions of the Aviation Law that obliged an aviation company to have at least 10 aircraft — five owned and five rented — to start operations.
"We will have 10 aircraft within one year," he said.
Mandala would resume service on its existing 16 domestic routes, including Jakarta-Denpasar and Jakarta-Balikpapan, and four international routes, including Jakarta-Singapore.
Deputy Transportation Minister Bambang Susantono said the return of Mandala showed that the domestic airlines business would be stronger this year.
"The variety of airlines and services that they offer will increase passenger satisfaction," Bambang said.
According to the data from airport operators Angkasa Pura 1 and Angkasa Pura 2, local airlines serve 125 million passengers a year, he said. (nfo)

Radiation-induced chronic pericardial disease was recognized in nine patients 53 to 124 months (mean, 88 months) after radiotherapy for Hodgkin's disease. Depending on whether abnormal cardiac hemodynamics occurred before or after a fluid challenge, patients were considered to have either constrictive pericarditis (Group I) or occult constrictive pericarditis (Group II). There were no differences between these groups in various radiotherapy data, the use of chemotherapy, or the interval after treatment when the diagnosis of chronic pericardial disease was made. There were no consistent noninvasive variables to support the diagnosis of radiation-induced chronic pericardial disease before cardiac catheterization. Four patients underwent pericardiectomy. Two of the four operated patients had an excellent surgical result; a third patient died 4 months postoperatively of drug-induced granulocytopenia; the fourth patient has persistent visceral constrictive pericarditis 18 months after surgery. Speculation over the causes of radiation-induced chronic pericardial disease is made and our recommendations for its treatment given.

What People are Saying about us.
ATRS's generous monthly support of Giving Children Hope is critical to us being able to feed over 1,300 families living in poverty each week. ATRS's faithful support has allowed GCHope to serve more people while improving the services we are able to provide. Together, ATRS and Giving Children Hope are making a positive impact on those living in poverty. We are extremely grateful for ATRS's support of Giving Children Hope and the people we have the privilege of serving.
Sean Lawrence, Executive Director of Giving Children Hope
Thank you so much for you and your teams efforts at Orlando International Airport. We appreciate your efforts to help us divert more from the landfill.
Wanted to send a congratulations for ATRS' big acquisition recently. Read the article this morning about your expansion into the Midwest. Hope it brings you more teams like GOAA that are looking to find long term solutions to textile waste streams.
Your partnership with OIA is helping us divert waste from the landfills and keeping resources in an economic cycle for Central Florida. Thank you again for your help and enthusiasm in helping GOAA GREEN the Orlando experience!
Jessica Wright, Project Manager of ecoPreserve
Thank you so much for your amazing generosity to donate and fully fund my project. This is my first project to get funded. My 5th grade students are super excited to read a new book and collaborate with their groups to create a book trailer. My schools focus is technology so this perfect. My students have been working on using Google docs, slides and Goggle classroom. Creating iMovies will be a fun new experience for them. Without your generosity this would not have been possible. I can't thank you enough for generosity.
Mrs. Bolduc, Betsy Ross Elementary School
Thank you very much for your donation to my classroom. The amount of paper provided will help my students continue their education without having to worry about supplies!
I teach in a low-income area, with above a 95% of Free-Reduced Lunch. My students should not worry about finances, yet many do when asked to purchase supplies for the year. I try and consolidate and ask the bare minimum, for I don't want any to feel that they can not contribute to the class.
Throughout the year, both grade levels (7th and 8th) will be writing at least 6 essays; that is a lot of paper! We as a school are pushing the limits of expectations so that our students will be prepared for not only high school, but for college. They are learning that in life, hard work does pay off.
We really appreciate your donation, and want you to know that your donation will help both in and out of the classroom. My students are now prepared for what is being asked of them, and knowing that it came from a donation, they are learning that there are good people in this world. Thank you for that life lesson.
Mrs. Argueta, Los Angeles Unified School District
The DAV (Disabled American Veterans) Department of Indiana is proud to announce a partnership with American Textile Recycling Service of Houston, Texas. This new partner will enable DAV in Indiana to further our goals of providing a lifetime of support for Hoosier veterans and their families. Through the partnership, DAV will benefit from donated clothing that will support local service initiatives.
DAV assists veterans by making sure they receive the benefits they've earned. In Indiana, DAV helps in the fight against veteran homelessness, operates a volunteer network that provides medical transportation to veterans and conducts community-based initiatives to improve the quality of life veterans, their families and survivors enjoy.
Your donation recognizes the service and sacrifices of our nation's heroes. So, when you see our bins, please consider donating.
Terry Sanders, State Commander of the Department of Indiana
Words can not express how grateful I am for you to donate to this cause. Since starting the Harry Potter club on campus, I see students talking about reading, wanting to read, and sharing their enthusiasm with others. I currently have 40 kids who are in the Harry Potter book club, and still everyday I am having students come up and ask to join, so they can read!
None of this would have been possible without your generous donations. Because of you, my students can continue to love to read and hopefully this love will expand into other areas of their life. Also, with them having their very own copy of the book, students can share their new found love of reading with their siblings and other students. Students have a sense of pride taking out their very own book from their backpack and engaging in the novel.
I can't say enough that this wouldn't have been possible without you, and my students and I are very grateful for all you have done for us.
Ms. Borum, Animo Jefferson Charter Middle School
I just wanted to thank ATRS for all their support over the past 7 years. It's no coincidence that the tremendous growth of Colorado Sled Hockey has coincided with our recycling partnership.
CSH has quadrupled in size and drastically expanded competitive opportunities for all our athletes. You have to travel to compete in sled hockey. Without the support of the clothing and shoe donations, there's no way we could have won National Championships in two divisions this past April and had our third team playing in the finals.
A bag of clothes may not seem like a big deal to the kind people who donate in the orange bins throughout Colorado, but it makes all the difference to our athletes. I'd love if you could post this somewhere as a thank you to everyone who supports the bins.
Personally, my son has been involved with sled hockey since he was 6. He's 22 now, and it's made a huge difference in his life. He's a confident young man working full time and attending online college. That just doesn't happen without the lessons taught in team sports.
Our program wouldn't be what it is today without our partnership with ATRS. Thank you as a parent and as the President of Colorado Sled Hockey.
Bruce Grandchamp, President of Colorado Sled Hockey
American Textile Recycling Service (ATRS) has been extremely helpful in working with Michigan Humane Society. They have gone out of their way to make special trips for collections, attend our events and hand out snacks to our friends as well as their furry companions. ATRS believes in our mission and it shows.
As Michigan Humane Society partners with animal control agencies all over the state, it is of the utmost importance that programs like the ATRS community recycling program continue to contribute so that animals in Michigan can receive proper care.
This partnership definitely has been a great opportunity for both MHS and ATRS and will be for many of our local retailers like Walgreens, Petco and others. Your support is greatly appreciated!
Nicole Senczyszyn, Michigan Humane Society Event Manager
I can't imagine how different my life would have been if I had these skills when I was younger!
Student from HERO, Homeless Empowerment Relationship Organization
Our family has more doctor and hospital visits, more time off of work and more medical bills and wheelchair and prosthetics to pay for than a family with "normal" kids. Fundraising is very important to keep the cost of sled hockey to $50.00/year. All the ice is paid for, all the coaches are volunteers; the equipment is loaned to the players. My son and his friend were able to travel to USA Disable Hockey Tournament with Colorado Sled Hockey because the funds were there thanks to ATRS Clothing & Shoe Recycling.
Teresa Lundquist, Colorado Sled Hockey Mom

The mighty have fallen again.
Manny Ramirez will be suspended 50 games by Major League Baseball for a failed performance-enhancing drug test. Ramirez is expected to say the positive test was triggered by a prescription drug he was using for a medical condition and not a steroid, according to sources.
Sure, Manny, that's pretty convenient. But let's face it: Manny, like A-Rod and the rest before him, juiced. If he had a condition and a doctor prescribed him this drug, why wouldn't he just have cleared it with MLB before he started using it?
Ramirez will begin serving the suspension tonight and will not be eligible to return until July 3rd.

Auburn got a little thinner along its defensive line over the weekend when head coach Gus Malzahn announced that rising junior defensive tackle Devaunte Sigler was dismissed for an undisclosed violation of team rules.
"We have high standards for our players," Malzahn said in a statement released Friday. "They will represent the team and Auburn the right way."
Sigler had played in 18 career games at Auburn, registering 12 total tackles, before his dismissal. However, he saw his production decrease in 2012, as he played in just five games and totaled two tackles.
While the loss of Sigler leaves the Tigers down a man on the defensive line, the good news is that Auburn's depth shouldn't suffer too much with the bodies the Tigers return and the new faces added in this year's recruiting class. Seniors Jeff Whitaker and Kenneth Carter return, along with juniors Angelo Blackson and Gabe Wright. The Tigers will also have the services of redshirt freshman Tyler Nero and signed junior college transfer Ben Bradley, who is already on campus, and four-star/ESPN 150 defensive tackle Montravius Adams.
Sigler's absence likely won't affect the Tigers too much with all those bodies to work with, but chances are the staff would rather have an extra man in the rotation this spring, especially with a new coaching staff running things on the Plains. Still, having good numbers at the defensive tackle spot will help ease the loss of Sigler, who appeared to be falling down the depth chart at his position before spring practice even began.

MILWAUKEE -- There's a reason why the Chicago Bulls legitimately believe they can win an NBA championship this season.
They have Derrick Rose ... and every other team in the league does not.
In a season full of MVP-caliber performances, Rose unleashed one of his best yet on Saturday night, scoring 30 points and dishing out a career-high 17 assists as the Bulls won their fourth game in a row, 95-87, over the Milwaukee Bucks.
As usual, it was Rose who took over the game late, completely dominating the Bucks down the stretch. Rose scored 10 points in the fourth quarter alone, and repeatedly got open looks for all his teammates. The same teammates who literally stared in awe at times on the bench as the 22-year-old made one "SportsCenter" Top-10 play after another.
"The worst thing you can do is give me confidence," Rose said after the victory. "No matter what I'm doing. Playing whatever, doing whatever. If I get any type of confidence it's going to be hard to stop me."
That's the way the Bulls are feeling right about now. With Rose leading the way, they feel like they are going to win every single night. Saturday's game is just the latest example. The Bulls were getting beat throughout the night until Rose took over.
"He's done it all year," Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau said. "He's got to continue to do it. The thing that I really respect about him is that he's never satisfied. So he'll keep driving, and the important thing for him is the win. He's not concerned with what he's doing individually. He's more concerned with how our team is doing. And his defense continues to improve.
"This was a tough game. Milwaukee's playing extremely well, they're playing very, very hard. They're a tough team defensively. It's hard to get a good shot against them and he did whatever he had to do put us in position to win."
But like Thibodeau said, Rose is never satisfied. After being showered by MVP chants throughout the night and receiving congratulations from all his teammates, Rose refused to be impressed with what he had accomplished.
"I didn't do s--- yet," Rose said, using the kind of strong language the media isn't used to hearing from the mild-mannered point guard. "We've got to get to the second round. That's what we're trying to do now. We're a team where we get to the first [round] and we lose. First round, we lose. We're trying to get past that now."
If Rose continues to play like he has been lately, there's little doubt that will happen. Inevitably, when the Bulls need him the most, that's when he steps up and delivers.
"With the pressure of the game, he's great in those situations," Thibodeau said. "He's got a lot of poise and a lot of confidence. I think that comes from his preparation. He's ready to handle those things and he always makes the right play, whether it's him finishing at the rim, pulling up, or hitting an open teammate. And he's not afraid, he has great courage."
It's that lack of fear that his teammates love the most.
"It's really exciting," Joakim Noah said. "He's playing his best basketball since he's been here. He's playing with a lot of swag and we feed off that. When you have your star player playing at that level it just makes you want to go to bed early, eat right, and do all the right things to get right for this final stretch."
If Saturday night is any indication, Noah and the rest of his teammates better get a lot of rest ... there's a good chance they're going to be playing for a while.
Derrick Rose is on their team, after all.

How in the world...
In a universe full of logical syllogisms, there's nothing quite like a paradox to shake you out of your reason-weary stupor. The honest politician. The ethical used-car salesman. The socially functional sports journalist.
And, of course, the sallow, sluggish, sloppy-fat athlete.
You know the kind we're talking about, Meat: those cannoli-popping creampuffs who look about as physically gifted as your rheumatic Uncle Earl. They're out of place, more than anything else; there's something off about seeing them between the lines, something disconcerting about the juxtaposition of their prodigal flab with so much lean athletic grace. They don't belong, is the point, but still they're there—and they're getting the job done, which only makes the whole scene all the more dissonant. Bottom line: it just doesn't make sense, when you really try to get your head around it; it offends nothing less than your divinely-apportioned capacity for rational thought, because if these dudes—these ponderous, plodding pigs—can make a living playing sports—
Well Meat, where exactly does that leave you?...
Number Five: David Wells
In the long and storied history of Major League baseball, seventeen pitchers have tossed perfect games...but only one of them did it with a screaming hangover. While battling a case of gout. With nacho cheese stains on the front of his jersey. Of all the things Wells will be remembered for—two World Series rings, 230-plus career wins, an ERA that grew more bloated than his waistline at the end of his career—his perfecto certainly takes the cake (Mmmm...cake); it's a once-in-a-lifetime sort of achievement, really, a feat that forever ties the southpaw to such legends as Cy Young and Sandy Koufax. Not bad work for a degenerate drunk trapped in a pro bowler's body.
Number Four: George Foreman (the Redux)
Like Elvis Presley before him, Foreman cut two very different figures over the course of his career: skinny George and fat George. Skinny George was a force to be reckoned with, a scowling, six-foot, three-inch mauler who won an Olympic gold medal at Mexico City in 1968 and clubbed his way to the heavyweight title in 1973. As for Fat George, well—the cat was still a force to be reckoned with (just ask Michael Moorer), but there was something decidedly unmenacing about him, something almost cute—cuddly, even—beneath all those layers of amorphous chub. Throw in the depressing cookie-cutter domesticity of the Foreman grill, in fact, and Fat George could actually almost be your rheumatic Uncle Earl—only with a better right cross, of course, because old Earl was usually pretty deep into the bourbon by the time he decided to start throwing punches...
Number Three: John Daly
Sure, golfers only marginally qualify as athletes to begin with, and the Daly-as-Slob angle has been worked to exhaustion over the years...but my God, Meat: res ipsa loquitor, right? Between the boozing and the smoking and the gee-John-maybe-you-oughta-go-with-the-salad-for-lunch physique, the former PGA and British Open champ isn't just an unathletic athlete; he's an anti-athlete, a living, wheezing refutation of everything we ever thought we knew about the physical arts. If nothing else, though, we can say this much in Daly's defense: the guy knows how to carry his man boobs with at least a modicum of grace and dignity. Some of his colleagues on the Tour—hey you with the green jacket and the Eskimo Pie all over your face: you getting this?—would do well to take notice...
Number Two: John Kruk
Nasty. There's no other way to describe Kruk in his prime, really: the dude was just plain pork rinds-and-pretzel crumbs nasty. Maybe it was the mullet. Or the stubble. Or the omnipresent roll of blubber that always managed to hang just so over the top of his belt. In any event, the Krukster didn't exactly strike anyone as a paragon of aesthetic elegance during his playing days...and his new gig as a sharp-dressed ESPN analyst (anyone else pity the poor Bristol lackey in charge of scrubbing the neck grease out of those fancy shirts?) hasn't done much to change his image. That said, Kruk never claimed to be anything but a toad—"I ain't an athlete," he once told a woman who chided his devil-may-care slovenliness, "I'm a ballplayer"—and he can always be proud of his victory over testicular cancer in 1994, which proved that you can lose a nut and still be a sweaty, unshaven tub of guts. Eat your heart out, Lance Armstrong. Eat your skinny little EPO-addled heart out.
Number One: Shaquille O'Neal
To clarify, Meat: bulk is not an athletic attribute. Ditto for girth, mass, and general mind-boggling ginormity. Now, we're not saying we don't love the dude—what's not to love, really?—but honestly...well, let's just call a spade a spade. Bill Russell was an athlete. Wilt Chamberlain was an athlete. Hell, Tim Duncan, much as we hate to admit it, is an athlete. Shaq, though—Shaq is more of a force than anything else. A presence, maybe. Sure, he can move a little bit, but you'd be hard-pressed to call that herky-jerky baby hook thing he does an 'athletic' maneuver. More damning: Uncle Earl, arthritic wino that he was, could still stumble out of an Easter brunch and sink six of ten free throws. Until Shaq gets his act together at the line, he'll always be more of a carnival sideshow than a genuine athlete, which, well—
Maybe the Big Aristotle and Uncle Earl have more in common than they know...

This is great news imo people are freaking out way too early. First off, it's early in the campaign, the serious campaigning doesn't begin until after labor day. Secondly Romney is out fundraising Obama in cash, and that cash will be spent in late August, and after the convention. Third, the media is pinning Odumbo's "lead" on manufactured polls that have been oversampling Dems. It's not in the bag yet, but Romney has a real good shot at winning this.
Romney has to win this, the nation will not survive another 4 years of Obama.

Skip to comments.AP source: Obama promises to help House Dems
Posted on 07/14/2010 5:27:32 PM PDT by Free ThinkerNY
WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Barack Obama is promising House Democratic leaders that he'll actively support their agenda and Democratic lawmakers as they head into tough midterm elections this fall.
That's according to a House Democratic leadership aide who was briefed on a meeting Wednesday night between the president and top House Democrats.
(Excerpt) Read more at hosted.ap.org ...
Please Barry, go out and actively support them! More seats for us.
Since everyone I know loathes his innards, I would say his arrogance knows no bounds.
Translation: Anyone who doesn't back my agenda will have their party support pulled. Chicago-style.
He's going to resign?
The people are DISAPPOINTED and patience is wearing thin.
Remember he said the difference between 94 and now is HIM. He owns any loss of the house.
Is he REALLY going to help them? If he actively does not campaign for any of them, it would surely give them a boost.
LOL....since The Loser has a perfect record of sinking Dem candidates, the GOP can only hope he gets out on the hustings.
However, I think he'll send old Lyin' Clinton out to wow the Black nitwits who still think Clinton was the First Black President.
Of course, Slick Willie will be piling up the chits for his shop-worn wife when she runs in 2012, so his agenda and The Loser's is not the same.
Threatening his own party members now?
What is that screaming I hear in the distance?
Maybe not!! I understand that he has a ton of stimulus cash that hasn't been allocated.
If he starts handing out freebies & goodies like Santa Claus - the moochers might stampede to vote for the RATS to stay in office.
Probably with our 'stimulus' money and his 'Civilian Voter Intimidation and Fraud Force'....The Black Panthers and ACORN.
God help us!
You gotta do it Barry. The country's counting on you.
That's like an anchor offering to help a drowning man.
A gift from heaven!!!
LOL! well if it's anything else expect his ass to be raised high.
I wonder if anyone has had the nerve to tell him what his numbers are?
The GOP should pay his traveling expenses
Or, is he going to resign as President? But that would make Biden the leader of the Democrats. Nope, that dog won't hunt.
John / Billybob
Oh, goody!
That's funny. Obama and the Dem leadership are the only ones with that "agenda". The rest of the Democrats are doing all they can to distance themselves from it.
America could use another 200 "Copenhagen Trophies", courtesy of Obama!
Baraq's toxic coattails
I think his batting average is near 1000
darn near every candidate he's backed since the 08 elections has tanked
Bwaaahahahahaha! This loser (nobama) knows no bounds on his ego. Great strategy though...help them a lot, nobama.
Remember when he proclaimed: "Where is the Armageddon"?
"Probably with our stimulus money and his Civilian Voter Intimidation and Fraud Force....The Black Panthers and ACORN."
Yes, I'm concerned that king obuma will march his fearsome Fat Welfare Momma battalion on Texas and hit everyone over their heads with purses.
However, can he pry their cold, greasy fingers from jumbo bags of potato chips and two liter bottles of Coke long enough to get them off their couches?
My bet is no. Many of the people that Obama got to vote for him (when they normally don't vote) was because they wanted a 'first black president'. That's it. They don't care about the congressional races. That's why Obama and the NAACP are trying to whip them up with false charges of racism, etc. against republicans and the Tea Party. What I fear is a manufactured 'incident' with the help of some SEIU,Black Panther or ACORN thugs. Watch for the set up. It's gonna happen.
Pray for God to reveal Obama and the democrats for what they are... vile,communists,anti americans,liars,and thieves.

Schools Get Taste of Own Medicine
States Assign A to F Grades Based on Test Results, Other Factors; Some Parents, Administrators Are Shocked by Poor Scores
Schools long have graded students. Now they are being graded themselves, as a growing number of states assign them A-to-F scores to evaluate their performance.
The results can be surprising. Eliot Elementary School in Tulsa, Okla., has been well-regarded by parents for years, in part for its high scores on state achievement exams. The school draws young families moving into the historic Brookside neighborhood that surrounds it.
So parents and administrators were stunned when a new state report card last autumn gave Eliot a "C" on an A-to-F scale. Stephanie Coates, a mother of two Eliot students, called the ranking an "unpleasant surprise" and said she isn't convinced the state "assessed what's going on with Eliot very well."
In the past two years, at least 10 states, from Arizona to North Carolina, began handing out letter grades to schools and, in some cases, districts.
Modeled after an accountability program pioneered in Florida by then-Gov. Jeb Bush in the late 1990s, these systems gather reams of data, feed the numbers into complicated formulas and spit out letter grades. The formulas typically take into account test scores, graduation rates, attendance and progress among the lowest-achieving students.
"The philosophy behind letter grades is to put more complete and meaningful information into the hands of parents," said Janet Barresi, Oklahoma's superintendent of public instruction. She said the grades have "turbo charged" the discussion in her state around school quality.
Opponents say the formulas used by states are flawed, can be too reliant on test scores and can unfairly brand schools as mediocre or troubled.
A nationwide push to evaluate schools and assign performance labels to them took off with the 2002 passage of the federal No Child Left Behind law, which mandated that states test students in math and reading and determine whether enough passed. The law required only that states identify whether schools made "adequate yearly progress." For schools that didn't, the consequences included paying for students to transfer to better schools.
But since the law required more students to pass state exams over time, states tagged tens of thousands of schools as underperforming. That prompted complaints that the label was losing its meaning.
In 2011, Secretary of Education Arne Duncan offered states waivers from the designation and other provisions of the law if they adopted certain procedures, such as evaluating teachers based on student achievement. Several states that applied for waivers promised to move to an A-to-F grading system.
Jaryn Emhof, spokeswoman for Mr. Bush's Foundation for Excellence in Education, a nonprofit group that has advised states on how to implement letter grades, said the A through F is not the only answer to improving public education. "But if you don't know what the actual state of learning is in your school, how can you begin to improve it?" she said.
Some educators grade the idea a failure. Critics in Ohio worried its new letter-grade accountability program, signed into law in December, was rushed and based on an overly complex formula. In New Mexico, the Coalition for Excellence in Science and Math Education, a group of scientists and mathematicians, argued in a July report that the state's new grading formula was so flawed it could result in dramatic grade fluctuations from year to year.
In the 40,000-student Tulsa district, more than half of the 76 public schools earned a D or F, and the district itself learned last month that it was rated a D.
Chris Johnson, Tulsa's assistant superintendent for district accountability, said his district thought the A-to-F system would be easier for parents to understand and hold schools more accountable than the prior system, which assigned schools a numeric score between 0 and 1,500.
But Mr. Johnson now believes the letter grades can have exaggerated connotations. "The problem with giving a school an F grade is that it gives parents the impression that there's nothing good happening at that school," he said. The grade "gives a slanted picture to parents of what schools are actually doing."
Lack of progress among the lowest-performing students resulted in low grades for Tulsa's district and many of its schools. Eliot, for example, received a B for overall student performance, a C for overall student growth and an F for academic growth of its 39 lowest-scoring kids.
The Tulsa Public Schools superintendent joined a group of officials from 107 of the state's 521 school districts that blasted the rating system in a press conference late last year. The Oklahoma Education Association, the state's largest teachers association, also said it didn't provide a fair assessment of schools.
State education officials defended the grading formula but acknowledged it likely will be tweaked, based in part on comments from superintendents and parents.
Stefani Bartholomew, a third-grade teacher at Eliot, said the C grade was a "slap in the face to all the teachers and students who work so hard." She said she will continue to comb through student test data to pinpoint where students are having trouble and keep pulling struggling ones aside for one-on-one help. "In an educator's mind, something like this frustrates you and it gives the public a bad impression of a school," she said. "But it won't change what I do."
Nikki Wilson, mother of an Eliot student, said the grades are easier to understand than former measurements. She praised the school and its teachers, and said she isn't sure whether the new grading system is fair. But she acknowledged the school district could do more to help students, especially low performers. "The blame goes to Tulsa," she said.

»0 Comments Floreat Fredy! Posted by Paul Gardner on Mar. 23, 2:43 a.m. As you'd expect, the seven games of the opening weekend of MLS had a bit of everything -- the good, the bad, the remarkable, the absurd and whatever else you can think of.
»0 Comments Refs on a Witch Hunt Posted by Paul Gardner on Mar. 19, 8:00 a.m. Just ten days ago I was taking a decidedly jaundiced look at the Blackburn Rovers' coach Sam Allardyce and what I called his "rather snide criticism" of referees. Big Sam had been implying, without actually saying it, that referees did not really understand the game -- their main fault being that they never played at the pro level.
»0 Comments The World's Most Unpredictable League Posted by Paul Gardner on Mar. 16, 12:30 p.m. I was recently asked -- by a foreign newspaper -- a number of questions about MLS. Pretty straightforward stuff about players and coaches to which I supplied brief, mostly accurate, answers. I romped along, without too much hesitation, until I came to the final question. That, too, was actually pretty straightforward, the simplest of questions: who will win the 2009 ... »0 Comments What's Wrong with the Rich? Posted by Paul Gardner on Mar. 12, 11:15 a.m. In its 16 years of existence, the English Premier League has been won by only four different clubs. You could really make that three -- for Blackburn's win in 1995 was something of an aberration. Otherwise, it's been Arsenal (3 wins), Chelsea (2) and Manchester United (10) all the way.
»0 Comments Big Sam Knows - You Don't Posted by Paul Gardner on Mar. 9, 10:00 a.m. A week or so ago Blackburn Rovers coach Sam Allardyce, sounding as genial and reasonable as ever, had a few things to say about his team's upcoming game against Everton.
»0 Comments Donovan's Return a Big Plus for MLS Posted by Paul Gardner on Mar. 5, 10:00 a.m. This is an unfortunate moment for MLS. With David Beckham quietly trashing the league, either directly or implicitly, every time he opens his mouth, with Landon Donovan letting it be known that he'd prefer to play in Germany, with FC Barcelona withdrawing its bid for a Miami franchise, the league's image (at least in the eyes of foreign observers) has ... »0 Comments 75 Years of Youth Soccer in New York Posted by Paul Gardner on Mar. 2, 10:00 a.m. They had a little bash out at Franklin Square on Friday. Franklin Square, that's just outside New York City, the beginnings of Nassau County. An area I don't visit too often.

Buckhead Root Canals
A root canal procedure is a dental procedure conducted by an Endontist used to repair and save a tooth that is badly decayed or becomes infected. The procedure involves removing the nerve and the pulp from the center of the tooth, and then cleaning and sealing it. Located in Buckhead, Pure Dental Health provides comprehensive dental care including root canal procedures to patients in the greater Atlanta metropolitan area.
Dunwoody GA Root Canals Dentist
The "root canal" refers to the natural cavity in the middle of a tooth. The pulp or pulp chamber is the soft area within the root canal. The tooth's nerve is located within the root canal. Tooth decay, repeated dental procedures, large fillings, cracks, chips and trauma to the face can cause a tooth's nerve and pulp to become irritated, inflamed or infected. If left untreated, the tissue surrounding the tooth will become infected and abscesses may form.
At Pure Dental Health, patients receive restorativce dental procedures in the comfort of our clean, contemporary office while enjoying amenities including valet parking, flat screen televisions, hot scented towels and blankets, noise cancelling headphones, a beverage station and an Internet Bar. Dr. Justin Scott also offers sedation dentistry to keep our patients relaxed and comfortable during root canal procedures.

Fortune Looks Forward To Reunion With Pacquiao
by Ronnie Nathanielsz
"Fighter of the Decade" Manny Pacquiao's first strength and conditioning coach at Freddie Roach's Wild Card Gym in Los Angeles, former heavyweight contender Justin Fortune, is looking forward to reuniting with Pacquiao and Roach and Filipino assistant trainer Buboy Fernandez.
In an overseas telephone conversation with the BoxingScene.com/Manila Standard, Fortune who set up his own Fortune Gym also in Los Angeles after parting ways with Roach some years ago, said he is "coming over to help Manny, help Freddie put everything into harness. My job will be to help Manny beat (Brandon) Rios" in their WBO International welterweight title fight in Macau on November 24.
Fortune said he is schedule to leave Los Angeles on Friday night to arrive in General Santos City a couple of days before Roach who plans to fly out of LA after Miguel Cotto's fight against Delvin Rodriguez on Saturday.
When asked who reached out to him to rejoin Pacquiao's training camp after Roach fired Alex Ariza who is now training "Bam Bam" Rios, Fortune said it was "Manny and Michael (Koncz) and they went through Freddie first."
He said "everything is fine and we want to get back to where we were. Freddie will do the boxing training, I will do the conditioning and Manny will do the fighting."
Fortune indicated he is looking forward to working alongside Roach and Buboy Fernandez and "we'll be like we used to be with Manny."
He played down whatever differences he had in the past with Roach telling the Standard that he had been with Roach for some 20 years and they had gotten over their little difficulties "absolutely" and added he couldn't allow "something silly" to get between us.
Fortune told us he is looking forward to working again with Pacquiao but emphasized that Pacquiao "needs to get back to where he was" pointing out that Rios "is beatable if Manny is fit."
The strength and conditioning coach noted that Rios "is a very credible fighter who can punch and take a punch although he is one dimensional."
Fortune added the fight "is not a walk in the park but we'll do our best to help Manny win."
I actually saw Fortune box live on a bill in Brixton about 20 years ago. He was the shortest heavyweight I ever saw. And shat too. Very strong but all the boxing ability of a brick being pushed by a…Comment by STAX ON DECK on 09-30-2013

Spa, golf, tennis, two sun terraces, a large 35,000-square-metres hotel park and a variety of culinary delights are waiting to be discovered by its guests.
Hotel Saratz is elegant yet cosy, contemporary yet charming - and its blend of old and new exudes one thing above all: atmosphere. The modern way of living merges with the Engadine hotel tradition, grandeur with design, nature with architecture. True values for a holiday adventure in a magnificent setting.
By the way: According to the latest rating of the "Sonntags Zeitung" of 29th May 2016, Hotel Saratz has been ranked the fourth best family hotel in Switzerland.
Hotel management: Anuschka & Thierry Geiger-Starkloff (since 2008)
Grand opening: 1865 as boarding house, 1875 expansion for hotel operation; Reopening after renovation and expansion: 1996
Accomodation: 93 rooms, 186 beds
Sabre: YX58578

It's the guiding principle of the Swiss Tourism Association and Hotel Saratz has taken up the cause. We give our best and constantly seek to improve every single day. We were therefore awarded the Q3 seal by the Swiss Tourism Federation. We are also certified according to ISO 9001:2008 since July 2010.
In October 2012, Hotel Saratz has been certified with the standard OHSAS 18001:2007.
Hotel Saratz is certified for its environmental management with ISO14001:2004 since July 2010. Certified by the Swiss Hotel Association as a

Switzerland is full of historic hotels, guest houses and restaurants. Many of these valuable Swiss cultural and historical treasures have until recently lain hidden away. History meant dusty, old, out of fashion.
For a few years now, an increasing number of guests and hotel keepers have rediscovered the charisma, attraction and charm of these objects. Buildings and rooms have been dusted down and in keeping with the modern principles of friendly service and quality, these "guest houses" are irresistible.
Motto: Patina, not dust.

In recent years international tourism has developed into a worldwide industry with big growth rates on the one hand but huge uncertainty factors on the other. Big hotel chains in conjunction with worldwide-operating travel agents compete for the favour of visitors. In this environment private hotel industry establishments, which operate on a smaller scale and are usually run by individual entrepreneurs, struggle to stand their ground. The advantages of this sector of the hotel industry – personal service, individuality and charm of establishments and the diversity of options – are eclipsed by the loud propaganda of the travel industry.
Private Selection Service AG carefully selects its members and therefore is able to guarantee a high quality standard for discerning guests. And although each member hotel is individual and unique, all Private Selection hotels share the following features:
Key guest segment consists of individually travelling guests (no mass tourism)
First class hotel (at least. 4*) according to hotellerie suisse hotel qualification criteria
The member hotel is run privately and is not part of an international chain.
The member hotel is located in a region of tourist interest and offers regional specialities and excursions.
It offers an attractive in- and outdoor activity infrastructure.
Brought together under the PRIVATE SELECTION umbrella brand, member establishments offer their services in the following segments: wellness, golf, city breaks, sea-/lakeside and Alpine Classic Hotels (Alpine summer and winter).
The Engadine is a paradise for golf lovers. In Samedan (5 km), Zuoz (15 km) and St. Moritz (6 km), you will find great golf courses in the immediate area. As a Saratz guest, you receive a 20% green fee discount at the above mentioned golf courses.
There is a 110-year age difference between grandfather Samedan and grandchild Zuoz-Madulain. With a traditional layout and heavily buffeted by the Maloja wind, the Samedan course is 10 kilometres from Zuoz-Madulain. While Samedan is defined by open, flat terrain with a lot of watercourses and wind, Zuoz-Madulain's Alpine topography demands a more complete and strategically variable golfing style.
Golf guides, such as the Peugeot Golf Guide, guarantee that both courses provide an unforgettable golfing experience. As always, the oldest golf tournament in Switzerland is played in Samedan within the framework of the ASG Order of Merit.
A well-established duo for many years with a wealth of experience in 4 and 5-star hotels.
The Hotel Saratz is a well-developing hotel, which provides an unforgettable holiday experience for its guests thanks to the tireless efforts of the family Geiger-Starkloff and the valuable Saratz team.
The magic of Hotel Saratz is clearly felt again!

Art plays an important role at Hotel Saratz. Seasonal exhibitions by artists – renowned or newcomers – create an attractive contrast to the Saratz rooms and amenities. The ubiquitous, each season changing art is to be an asset for your stay and at the same time provides a platform for the artists. Immerse yourself in a creative world made from a variety of shapes, colours, techniques and materials.
At the beginning of the 20th Century the majority of artists had embarked on a journey that led them further and further away from merely reproducing or reinterpret the world around them onto a canvas.
Through abstraction, Artists for the first time enjoyed the freedom to disguise or even eliminate their subject matter within their art, while using all the new modern tools and techniques which by then started to become more widely available.
The five above-mentioned artists will present their works of art, which are precisely exploring this fascinating freedom of abstraction. Those intriguing paintings, photographs, installations, sculptures and other objects will be exhibited throughout the rooms and park of the Hotel.
The exhibition will run from 15th June through 31st October 2016.
For the opening cocktail we would like to invite all Art-lovers, hotel guest, as well as locals to join us on Friday 15, 2016, starting at 6pm.
The exhibition in the park and the public spaces is accessible for viewing to the public at all times.
Exhibition tours in the park and the public spaces are every Monday at 11 am. Please register the day before until 6pm.
In 1865, a traditional Engadine farmhouse was converted into the boarding house Saratz and in 1875, the era of belle époque, extended to create a splendid first-class hotel. The Hotel Saratz quickly established itself as one of Switzerland's best 19th century hotels. The hotel experienced its heyday as a member of the Hotels de tout Premier Rang Suisses (today Swiss Deluxe Hotels) under the management of four generations of the owning Saratz family.
Many leading personalities from industry, science, the arts, politics and the diplomatic world from Switzerland, Europe and beyond were regular guests at the Hotel Saratz during the Engadine mountain summers. In 1973, owing to the lack of a family successor, the hotel was leased out for the first time. And so for the next 21 years, the wonderful hotel, full of atmosphere and characterized by its turn-of-the-century charm, was run on different principles as the 3-star Hotel Atlas and developed for winter business.
Over the years however, the hotel became badly in need of renovation. Soon, lack of investment and various shortcomings resulted in the 3-star hotel only being able to offer 2-star standards in terms of room comfort, cuisine and facilities.
In the 1990s, the 5th generation of the Saratz family took the fate of their hotel back into their own hands in order to recover its former class and grandeur. Since then, around 50 million Swiss francs have been invested in an extensive overall reconstruction. The complete renovation of the existing building and an impressive new extension were planned and realized with architects Hans-Jürg Ruch and Pia Schmid from Zurich.
The Saratz family were the actual founders of Pontresina. Their roots go back to the Saracens, an Arab people who came from North Africa as early as 932 BC, travelling via Spain, over the Alps and into our region to seize land and acquire property and riches. Even the name Pontresina can be traced back to these immigrants. The old bridge leading to the town was built by the Saracens and called Pontem Sarasinam, later Ponte Saracino. Over the centuries this became today's Romansh name of Puntraschigna or Pontresina.
As today, until into the 1970s the Hotel Saratz was run as a family and child-friendly hotel by generation after generation of the Saratz family. For an entire century, it ranked as one of the best hotels in the region. As a 5-star hotel, it was a member of the "Groupement des hotels de tout premier rang" (later Leading Hotels of Switzerland) into the 1970s. In 1960, Gian Pepi Saratz, the last director from the family dynasty to manage the hotel, built the first large heated outdoor pool in the Upper Engadine on the initiative of his mother.
In 1974, as no other family member could be inspired to join the hotel business to succeed Gian Pepi Saratz, the hotel was leased to the Atlas Group in Zurich.
Over 20 years later, the passion for this beautiful building and a sense of tradition and hospitality finally led the 5th generation of the Saratz family to take the courageous decision to make an initial investment of around 22 million Swiss francs and restore the Hotel Saratz to new/former glory. The lease contract with the Atlas Group was terminated and today the 4-star superior hotel is again managed in accordance with the spirit of the Saratz family.
