The School Library Profiles developed by the Library Research Service are meant to be used as a comparative tool for school libraries in Colorado. The results represent data received from school libraries that completed the 2006 Colorado School Library Survey. Profiles for each participating school compare individual school data with averages for schools with similar grade level and enrollment ranges. Please note that since all data were derived from responses to the survey, schools that did not respond to the survey are not represented in the Profiles.
Use the school locator (below) to find the school for which you would like to see the 2006-2007 School Library Profile. Remember, schools that did not respond to the 2006 Colorado School Library Survey will not be represented in the Profiles.
Please Note: Starting with the 2008-09 profiles, we are using medians instead of averages for the comparison groups. Medians represent the school in the middle of each statistic - i.e., there are equal numbers of schools above and below the median. For this reason, we felt this was more representative of the "typical" school than average, which can be more strongly influenced by outliers.

By Judy Sedbrook, Colorado Master Gardener(sm), Denver County
As our perceptions about the use and value of water began to change in the later part of this century, we developed new ideas about gardening. These new concepts have allowed us to reduce water needs by altering the landscape.
The term given to this approach to gardening is called "Xeriscape". Xeriscape means "water conservation through creative landscaping." It is a registered trademark of the Denver Water Board of Denver, Colorado, an organization dedicated to water conservation.
In making use of xeriscape, we benefit by reducing water consumption, landscape maintenance, use of fertilizers and pesticides.
The principles associated with the concept of xeriscape include appropriate planing and design, soil improvement, more efficient irrigation, practical turf areas, appropriate plant selection, use of mulches, and maintenance.
An important part of using the xeriscape concept is to group plants with similar water needs together in beds. This allows them to be watered as needed with little waste of water.
The use of beds also enables the easy installation of a drip irrigation system. This kind of watering system permits application of water directly to the plants, thus reducing water consumption as much as 60 percent over sprinkler irrigation. Kits for installing drip systems are available from nurseries and garden centers.
Plants that either avoid or tolerate dry conditions should be chosen. Such plants are drought tolerant only once they have become established and watering is needed the first year or two after planting. Plant annuals at least 12 inches apart and perennials 18 to 24 inches apart. Crowding plants too close together results in competition for water.
Soil, whether it is clay or sandy, should be amended with organic material (compost, well-rotted manure, or peatmoss) to promote percolation and retention. If you are unsure as to the quality of your soil, instructions on obtaining a soil test are available through your local cooperative extension.
Xeriscape beds should be graded to allow water to soak into the soil and be used by plants rather than being allowed to run off. Raised beds tend to dry out more quickly and are discouraged.
Mulch plays an important part in the xeriscape garden. Mulching can reduce water demand by as much as 40 percent, keeps the soil cooler, eliminates weed competition, and reduces evaporation from the soil surface.
From the standpoint of water use, the lawn is the largest and most demanding part of the landscape. Lawn size should be limited as much as possible. You might also want to consider the use of turfgrasses other than Kentucky Bluegrass.
Remember, beauty does not have to be sacrificed when establishing a xeriscape landscape.When done correctly, they look no different than the traditional landscape. PHOTO

Man deported 11 times caught again
Mexican man arrested on drug trafficking charges in Arizona
A Mexican man deported 11 times for entering the United State illegally was caught once again, this time on suspicion of drug trafficking.
Daniel Jupa-Fino, 21, of Sonora, Mexico, was taken into custody after fighting with the two officers at a truck stop in Eloy, Ariz.
Jupa-Fino was one of two men in a car chased by a Pinal County deputy Tuesday afternoon. The car was traveling west and when the deputy tried to pull it over it crossed into the eastbound lanes before stopping suddenly, Phoenix TV station KPHO reported.
Deputies said two men fled from the car and were chased into a nearby trailer park, where the passenger, 19-year-old Felipe Gonzalez-Tempura, was captured.
Jupa-Fino was found at a nearby gas station and taken into custody after a brief fight, KPHO reported.
Deputies told the TV station they found 220 pounds of marijuana worth more than $165,000 in the car, which was seized by authorities along with the drugs.
Both men are charged with possession of marijuana, possession of marijuana for sale and transportation of marijuana.

Joshua P. Breer aulJuly 22,2014
CABOT Joshua Paul Breer, 32, of Cabot, died at Fletcher Allen Health Care surrounded by his family on July 19, 2014, as the result of injuries sustained in an automobile accident.
Josh was born in Berlin, Vermont, on Feb. 4, 1982, to Bonnie Breer, of Cabot. He graduated from Spaulding High School in 2005. He spent his adult life working throughout the Barre-Montpelier area in the auto industry.
Josh had a witty, quirky sense of humor that lit up family gatherings, especially during Super Bowl Sunday when he rooted for the Patriots (his mom rooted for the Giants). He loved all four-legged creatures and formed a deep bond with his little dog, Dori, a puggle. Josh enjoyed following current events; he devoured news from any source and could always tell you what was going on both internationally and locally. He loved Cadillacs and was so proud of his latest white Cadillac. Because of his devotion to his family, specifically the way he watched over his brothers, Joshs mom often called him Mother Hen. This commitment to those he loved, along with his bright smile and warm sense of humor, will keep his memory alive.
He was predeceased by his grandfather Richard P. Russell Jr., of Barre. He is survived by his mother, Bonnie Breer, of Cabot; his brothers, Jeremiah Breer and his wife, Grace, and their son, Abraham, of Cabot, and Jonah Breer, of Salisbury; his son, Xavier Martinez, of Montpelier; his grandmother Pauline Lahar, of Fort McCoy, Florida, originally of Barre.
Funeral services will be held at 1 p.m. on Saturday, July 26, at Macedonia Baptist Church in Plainfield, Vermont.
In lieu of flowers, please donate to Central Vermont Humane Society, P.O. Box 687, Montpelier, VT 05601 to celebrate Joshs compassion toward rescue animals.

It's a bit anecdotal simply to say wrecks are on the rise, but the Eagle Ford play is only in its infancy.
The Oil & Gas Financial Journal reported in early December: "Since the beginning of (2011), the (Eagle Ford) play has doubled – up 107 rigs, accounting for 44 percent of the entire U.S. rig county's growth... The rig count in the play currently stands at nearly 214, but an increase to 250 is possible...in 2012."
As a simple drive north to San Antonio quickly demonstrates, there's far more population growth and resulting traffic than just the well crews. And the carnage on our highways is rapidly increasing as not only more vehicles and large trucks are on the roads, but also sleepy-eyed shift workers trying to make their way at all hours of the day and night.
The Texas Department of Transportation must turn some attention to the arteries that connect the Eagle Ford area to San Antonio and the petroleum ports of Houston and Corpus Christi. The rise in deaths on Highways 181 and 72 are becoming routine on our front pages. No doubt there are other vital highways that need expansion too.
The Eagle Ford play is a boon to the local economy and the nation's energy needs. With an expected lifespan of 15-20 years of drilling and rework, traffic will not be going away. Should gas prices rebound, we also can expect continued drilling and development in the southern portion of the play, which includes much of Bee County.
This region is full of hard-working Americans who no doubt are proud to contribute a vital part of this country's energy future. But no one should have to pay for it with their lives and the lives of their family and friends. Our highways should not be a killing field.
The state of Texas stands to make great financial gains off the petroleum flowing from the Eagle Ford Shale. TXDOT really needs to focus some funds on this once ignored but now booming area.

- Morpheus: a conformation-activity relationships and receptor modeling package
- Author(s)
- Andrews, Peter R.; Quint, G. L.; Winkler, David A.; Richardson, D.; Sadek, M.; Spurling, Thomas H.
- Abstract
- Our molecular modeling software package, MORPHEUS, allows the study of the interactions between biologically active molecules and their receptors. The package is capable of exploring the multidimensional conformational space accessible to each molecule of the data set under study. By specifying distance constraints or hypothetical receptor binding points, the package is able to filter the biologically accessible conformations of each active compound and deduce a three-dimensional model of the binding sites consistent with the properties of the agonists (or antagonists) under scrutiny. The electrostatic potentials in the environment of a putative binding site can also be investigated using the MORPHEUS package. The molecular modeling module CRYS-X, which is written in FORTRAN 77 for IBM PC machines, is capable of building, displaying and manipulating molecules.

- Critical fluctuations and entanglement in the nondegenerate parametric oscillator
- Author(s)
- Dechoum, K.; Drummond, P. D.; Chaturvedi, S.; Reid, M. D.
- Abstract
- We present a fully quantum mechanical treatment of the nondegenerate optical parametric oscillator both below and near threshold. This is a nonequilibrium quantum system with a critical point phase transition, that is also known to exhibit strong yet easily observed squeezing and quantum entanglement. Our treatment makes use of the positive P representation and goes beyond the usual linearized theory. We compare our analytical results with numerical simulations and find excellent agreement. We also carry out a detailed comparison of our results with those obtained from stochastic electrodynamics, a theory obtained by truncating the equation of motion for the Wigner function, with a view to locating regions of agreement and disagreement between the two. We calculate commonly used measures of quantum behavior including entanglement, squeezing, and Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) correlations as well as higher order tripartite correlations, and show how these are modified as the critical point is approached. These results are compared with those obtained using two degenerate parametric oscillators, and we find that in the near-critical region the nondegenerate oscillator has stronger EPR correlations. In general, the critical fluctuations represent an ultimate limit to the possible entanglement that can be achieved in a nondegenerate parametric oscillator.

Please log in or register to answer this question. 5 Answers 3 votes I'd get Zebstrika, myself. It's a fast Pokemon that would balance the range of Speed stats on your team, and also provides that nice Fire-type coverage in Flame Charge. It can have the ability Motor Drive to absorb Electric-type attacks and raise Speed, or Sap Sipper to switch in on Grass moves to receive an Attack boost, making it great for switching around on a team. Emolga's got a sweet typing, but there are next to NO Ground-type attacks in the game after you beat Driftveil's gym, so it's not like Emolga's Flying-typing is doing it any justice, really, except for a Fighting resistance. answered Mar 13, 2011 by ~-~WILL~-~ Please log in or register to add a comment. 0 votes Emolga because hes immune to ground moves which is awesome against ground type pokemon.

Best Coffeemakers 10/24/11
There are lots of places you can get a cup of coffee on the go. But many of us need that first cup before we even get out the door. "First thing I do when I get up is go downstairs and I make myself a cup of coffee." "It gets me going." Consumer Reports checked out more than 65 coffeemakers from names like Cuisinart, Mr. Coffee, and Krups. Most important - brew performance.
"Part of what we're looking for in our brew performance test is to see whether or not the coffeemaker can reach the ideal temperature of 195 to 205 degrees Fahrenheit."
And when it comes to today's coffeemakers, you have lots of options. There are brew and dispense models like this one. This coffeemaker brews up coffee for a crowd on one side … or a cup on the other. And in addition to a traditional carafe, this coffeemaker has a divided basket so you can brew two different types of coffee into two thermoses. When all the tests were done, Consumer Reports recommended several traditional coffeemakers, including this Mr. Coffee, model SJX-33-GT, for just 35 dollars. And with the growing sales of single-serve coffee pods, Consumer Reports also tested more than a dozen designed just for those. Eric Hado, "With coffee pods we look for things like brew temperature, consistency, speed, and convenience." Testers top-rated this Senseo Supreme SL 7832 for 125 dollars. It was one of the fastest - brewing a cup of coffee in under two minutes, and it can brew two cups at once."

Ever since Elizabeth was born (3 months ago) I've been struggling with sore nipple on the right breast. About a month ago we had to introduce lactose free formula as she's lactose intolerant, however I've been slowly reintroducing additional breastfeeds (with colief) so she's down to only 2 bottles now. I have been pumping as much as I can when she was on the bottle. Now, however, she loathes feeding on the right breast, she's on and off all the time and does not appear to settle, in the end she falls asleep (with exhaustion I guess). When I pump the breast I only get 1/2 - 1 oz. There's no problems with the other breast. How can I get production up in the right breast? I'm toying with the idea of swinging all feeds over to the left breast (she's already having 3 out of 4 feeds off this breast anyway).
Also, currently she's breastfeeding at bedtime, middle of the night and the morning (2 feeds, one being the nasty breast...), I would like her to start feeding in the afternoon too, however, as I haven't been able to pump in the afternoons (been on holiday over Christmas) I don't know how effective this will be. Shall I offer the breast then top her up with the bottle? Will her feeding during the afternoon (or even pumping) affect the milk available to her at bedtime?
Sorry for long post - can't wait until the breastfeeding counsellor's back at work so I can pick her brains too.....
Thanks ever so much!

News Releases
/ Salute to Soil Underscores Need to Focus on its Health
Loading Tree...
COLUMBUS, OH, Dec. 2, 2013—It's responsible for nearly all life on the planet, but rarely gets the respect it deserves. On December 5, this living and life-giving resource is finally getting its day—across the state and across the globe.
The United Nations' Food and Agriculture Organization will celebrate World Soil Day in Rome, Italy, under the framework of the Global Soil Partnership. The celebration aims to raise awareness of the importance of healthy soils for food security, ecosystem functions and resilient farms.
An education campaign launched last fall in Ohio titled "Unlock the Secrets in the Soil" amplifies the global focus on soil. The campaign is designed to help more farmers discover the basics and benefits of soil health—and to encourage the adoption of soil health-improving practices like cover cropping, no-till, and diverse crop rotations.
"We work every day in every county to conserve and protect this vital resource," said NRCS State Conservationist Terry Cosby, "so to us, every day is 'soil health day.'"
Cosby said improving the nation's soil health has broad implications related to the vitality of our nation's farms, the health of our planet, and our ability to feed more than 9 billion people who will be living on Earth by the year 2050.
"Keeping soil healthy improves water and air quality, makes farms more sustainable and resilient, provides for wildlife habitat and reduces flooding," he said. "Increasingly, more and more producers in Ohio are harvesting a wide range of production, environmental, and business benefits—on and off the farm—by improving soil health."
Cosby said that while improving soil health has enormous benefits, it also has its challenges. "We know that every farm is different and has its own set of unique resource issues," he said. "Fortunately, Ohio's farmers are innovative, courageous, and tenacious, and NRCS is committed to assist these soil health pioneers—to help make their farms more productive, resilient and profitable along the way."
Cosby said that World Soil Day serves as a reminder to all of us that the promise of our future resides in the soil. "As we face mounting global production, climate and sustainability challenges, there is no better time to work hand-in-hand with our nation's farmers toimprove the health of our soil," he said.
Those interested in learning more about the basics, benefits and promise of improving soil health, Cosby said, can visit www.nrcs.usda.gov to "Unlock the Secrets in the Soil."

text: I have been meaning to post this for quite some time. I want to provide some potential help for moms with LOs that are having latch problems. I spent many nights reading this message board for support and feel like I should give a little back! My LO (now 14 months) had difficultly maintaining her latch. She would come off the breast every few seconds and would nurse forever (20 - 30 minutes per side) but still seem hungry. She also made this loud suckling noise whenever she nursed or drank from a bottle. So I pumped exclusively for almost 3 months and gave bottles, but continued to work on the latch at least once a day. I refused to give up on the breastfeeding and finally my pediatrician referred me to a doctor who was a breastfeeding specialist because we wondered if my LO was tongue tied. The specialist did not think that a tongue tie was the problem, but she suggested I bring my LO to an osteopath doctor nearby who specialized in infants. I was not familiar with osteopathic medicine (google it if you are not either), but the specialist had seen it work on other babies. The doctor laughed and told me that it seemed a little like voodoo magic, but that it does seem to work. So I gave it a try, and after about 3 visits my LO stopped making that horrible suckling noise, and after about 5 visits her latch was fixed!! She became a breastfeeding champ by about 4 months. I was so thankful and now we are still nursing at 14 months. It was a very gentle non-invasive treatment. So if you are having latch problems it might be worth looking for osteopath doctors in your area. Good luck.

..the facelift is on the Top 5 list of popular procedures. But does it turn back the clock as advertised? Do you turn out more attractive?
A small study suggests the answer to both of those questions is not really.
Using photos of 49 women who had had facial plastic surgery and healed for a minimum of 6 months...50 study participants rated the women on age and attractiveness.
On average, the raters found an insignificant increase in overall beauty. And the average number of apparent years saved" by the surgery....a calculation of the patients true age minus the age the raters guessed...was just 3-point-1 years!
While cosmetic surgery patients aim to look younger...the subjective nature of facial rejuvenation makes it a challenge to assess success. The researchers say larger studies are needed to verify the results of this study.

When a stoat can't chase down a rabbit, it breaks out the dance moves. All the dashing and thrashing hypnotizes the stoat's prey until it can deliver the killing stroke.
These stoats can be found dashing around the English countryside...chasing down one of their favorite foods...rabbits.
But when just chasing doesn't get the job done...the creature...turns to an unexpected superpower.
The stoat on the hunt will go nuts.
This manic behavior gets the rabbits' attention.
Who could ignore a stoat on steroids?
Spinning...jumping...and twisting...the stoat inches closer and closer.
But the rabbit remains transfixed...until it's too late.

Your best advice about getting admitted and enrolling in college...
My best advice would be to take your time. Choosing where to go to college is a major decision. It's important to consider the size, location, academic programs, cost, student life, etc., that each college or university offers. The best way to get a feel if the school is right for you is by visiting. Taking a tour of the campus and getting to speak with current students or faculty can be extremely beneficial when choosing your school. The next four years are going to be some of the best years of your life. You need to make sure that you're somewhere you feel comfortable to open up your mind and heart to new ideas and experiences.
What makes SXU different from other universities?
At SXU, every student has a name. You're not just a number in a giant lecture hall. Students are recognized for their ideas and accomplishments not only in the classroom, but throughout campus as well. Our small class sizes give students the opportunity to have in-depth discussions, ask questions, and get to know their professor. At SXU, you will never be taught by anyone other than your professor. They are truly committed to helping their student succeed.
If you could travel anywhere in the world, where would it be?
If I could travel anywhere in the world I would go to Italy. I would love to have the opportunity to see where my father and his siblings grew up.
Favorite day of the week and why?
Sunday is by far my favorite day of the week. It's the one day where there is time to just relax. The week can be very hectic, so its nice to get a chance to slow down and spend time with the people I love.
What is your favorite season in Chicago? Why?
My favorite season in Chicago is fall. Walking around the city in the crisp fall weather is one of my favorite things to do. I love seeing the colors of the leaves change. Its also the perfect time of year to go apple picking and carve pumpkins.
Why do you like your job?
Every day I get the chance to meet new people and help them decide if SXU is the right school for them. Its rewarding to be able to help people make such a big decision. I get to share my own experiences from when I was a student here and tell students what I love most about the university. I also enjoy my colleagues. Our admission staff is made up of a great group of talented individuals. Everyone genuinely cares about one another. Bottom line, I love my job.

For Immediate Release
January 29, 2010
State Superintendent honored for collaborative efforts to build student data system
Superintendent and three other Illinois leaders named `State Policymakers of the Years'
SPRINGFIELD – State Superintendent of Education Christopher A. Koch was honored by the Data Quality Campaign today for his work toward ensuring the state builds a pre-k through college data system to better prepare students for success after graduation. The Data Quality Campaign named Dr. Koch, Illinois Board of Higher Education Executive Director Judy Erwin, Illinois Community College Board President Geoffrey Obrzut and Illinois State Senator Heather Steans as this year's "State Policymakers of the Year'' for their critical leadership role in supporting comprehensive legislation requiring the development of a statewide longitudinal data system.
"I'm honored to be recognized as a partner in the efforts to build a data system that aims to improve instruction and student performance for generations to come,'' Koch said. "This system will give Illinois educators and policymakers much-needed data to drive instruction but it will also give students more information and options as they prepare for college and careers."
The P-20 Data System Act, sponsored by Senator Steans and signed into law by Governor Pat Quinn, requires state education authorities to collect student records, and integrate and share student data from preschool through college with workforce and employment agencies.
As the state's Longitudinal Data System develops, students will be able to tap into more data and information to make important course selection decisions prior to college and careers.
The system will also provide information regarding the extent to which students transition successfully from high school to college, including whether students enroll in remedial coursework at universities and colleges.
The state leaders honored today continue to work collaboratively to develop the longitudinal data system and seek more resources and funds to speed the process. Most recently, these education partners worked to seek additional federal funds for data sharing through Illinois' Race to the Top application where they requested funds that would give teachers in the classroom real-time access to high-quality data to better instruct their students.
The Data Quality Campaign is a national, collaborative effort to encourage and support state policymakers to improve the collection, availability and use of high-quality education data and to implement state longitudinal data systems to improve student achievement.

A woman from Monroe, Connecticut, is the latest million-dollar winner for Publisher's Clearing House.
Penny Pompa said she and her family fell on hard times. She even went to bed praying for a miracle.
For eight years, she, her husband and their four children lived at a home on Hillside Drive.
"I have Lyme disease and it was really hindering my work," Pompa said Tuesday. "So I had to not work anymore."
Pompa said her family was down to just one income. The mortgage and medical bills piled up. With four mouths to feed, she said she was looking for a break.
"Times were tough," she said. "Like every other American family that's struggling right now."
Pompa said she's a devout Christian and read the Bible before taking a nap. She said she called up the Book of Matthew and read about a miracle.
"So I just stood there, prayed about that and I said, 'God, I believe in you, your power and believe you can do all things,'" Pompa said.
When she woke up, it was to the sound of van doors slamming. The Publisher's Clearing House van, her miracle, had arrived.
"I went to the front door, and I opened the door and there were these people there with balloons, roses and a big check," said Pompa.
The surprise was caught on camera.
Pompa said she remembered entering the sweepstakes online and playing a few games. She never thought she'd win.
"It's really real," she said. "I can't believe it."
She said her prayers were answered and her bills could now be paid. Less than a week later, she was still on cloud nine.
"Literally, I felt like I was still asleep," Pompa said. "My feet still haven't touched the ground, really."
Pompa said her life won't change that much. She was looking to pay off her biggest bills, the mortgage and her medical bills, first.

My sanity survived the nastiest election season I can recall, and I'll be darned if I have to subject myself to a second helping next April.
Northwest Herald reporter Joe Bustos on today's front page delves deeper into the April referendum to create a "377 Board" and a corresponding tax levy to create a funding source to help agencies serving residents with developmental disabilities.
If voters approve it on April 9, property taxes will go up about $60 on the owner of a $200,000 home who takes the homestead exemption. That money will be disbursed by a 377 Board appointed by the County Board. The setup would be very similar to the Mental Health Board, which was approved by referendum decades ago to serve the same purpose for people with mental disabilities,
Nobody likes to pay taxes, with the possible exception of the residents of Massachusetts, and calls to raise them are about as popular as breaking wind in church. But having said that, after surviving the vitriol of the 2012 election, I'm going to recommend some ground rules for discussing this proposed tax increase:
• Supporters of this referendum are not tax lovers and Mitt Romney 47 percenters who want to live off of the entitlement state. No one chooses to have a child/spouse/relative with special needs. These are real people with real problems. It's not their fault that Deadbeat Illinois balances its budget by not paying what it owes to the agencies that provide these services.
And it certainly is not these people's fault that all of the revenue from that 67 percent tax increase (remember, the tax increase that was supposed to help the state pay its bills?) instead is going to feed Squeezy the Pension Python.
(Man, Squeezy would be election gold in 2014 if Illinois had a Republican Party.)
• Opponents of this referendum are not soulless ghouls who hate the less fortunate and eat children. Taxes in this county are killing us. Last year, property taxes on many homes went up hundreds or thousands of dollars, despite the fact that our home values have plummeted.
The problem isn't that this new proposed board is "only" asking us for $60 and change a year. The problem is every other taxing body on our bills every year asks us for "only" a bit more. I have eight taxing bodies on my bill. And that's not counting what 2013 will mean in terms of health insurance premiums, the Bush tax cuts, the fiscal cliff, shifting teacher pensions to local taxes, etc.
• You don't run April tax increase referendums because you need time to "educate the voters." In every April election, someone tries to sell the big fish story as to why a referendum is being run in April, so allow me to stop it before it starts.
Let's get this out in the open and out of the way right now. You run tax increase referendums in April because not even one voter in five casts a ballot, and the odds are much more in favor of getting a tax increase passed. Period. End of story.
And even if the motive is altruistic, no one in a million years is going to believe it, so let's not try. So let's make a deal – no one tells the lie, and I don't have to call it out in print citing the average 16 percent turnout over the past four April elections.
• People have the right to question creating yet another layer of government. Illinois has more than 7,000 governments, and watching them all is absolutely impossible. The question of accountability regarding creating a 377 Board is a legitimate one.
• There's something of a double standard that has to be addressed here. The same social service agencies that support the creation of this board are the same ones who in past years have openly criticized the size and scope of the Mental Health Board. They called the board a swelled bureaucratic leviathan when it decided several years ago to spend $4 million in economic stimulus bonds to more than double the size of its headquarters.
Taxpayers who openly ask about this discrepancy, and ask how the 377 Board will be different if it passes, have a legitimate question and deserve an honest answer.
• Regardless of the result in April, McHenry County cares. Win or lose, the generosity of McHenry County's voters is not to be questioned. These same voters agreed to tax increases to pay for a mental health board, a county nursing home, senior services, veteran services and a conservation district.
• If the referendum fails, people with disabilities will still be there. And they need help. And our elected state leaders should be bowing their heads in shame.

insights from hays
The global talent crisis is continuing to worsen. Across the globe we are seeing organisations fighting to find employees with the necessary skills and training.
As the economic recovery continues, companies are struggling to get the talent they need – particularly in science, technology, engineering and maths. And with the widening skills gap likely to become worse before it gets better, we are facing something of a perfect talent storm. It is good to see that this issue has become a subject of mainstream debate for media, politicians and corporates alike.

As Hurricane Sandy moves out of the region, people in affected areas are beginning to take stock of the damage. Flooding in parts of New Jersey and New York from the storm surge hit record levels. The 13.8-foot surge measured at Battery Park in Lower Manhattan surpassed the all-time record of 11.2 feet set in 1821 [3], flooding the New York subway system and two major commuter tunnels [4]. Along the Eastern Seaboard, an estimated 7.5 million people lost power [5]. Farther inland, blizzard conditions dropped as much as 2 feet of snow [6] as Sandy crashed into arctic air over the Midwest. While early estimates indicate direct damages from the hurricane may be as much as $20 billion [7], the total economic losses, including losses in consumer and business spending, could be more than twice that amount [8].
A number of climate change-related factors may well have intensified the storm's impact: higher ocean temperatures, higher sea levels, and an atmospheric traffic jam that may be related to Arctic melting. Hurricane Sandy is also a clear reminder of how vulnerable our homes and infrastructure already are to extreme weather — and this risk is growing.
Scientists know that warmer atmospheric temperatures and higher ocean temperatures are increasing the frequency and severity of heavy precipitation events on average, and Sandy spent significant time over water that was as much as 5 degrees Celsius above normal [9].
Globally, climate change is increasing sea levels, and in the Northeast U.S., the ocean is rising at a level much faster than the global rate [10]. When Sandy's storm surge combined with an extra-high tide caused by the full moon and sea level rise, the results were devastating for coastal areas.
Sandy might have avoided some of the most expensive real estate in the country if the storm had not encountered a "traffic jam" in the North Atlantic that halted weather from moving out to sea. Instead, Sandy veered into a winter storm developing over the Midwest, resulting in an unusual hybrid storm that brought hurricane-like conditions to the coast and blizzard conditions to interior areas. While traffic blocks have occurred historically from time to time in the North Atlantic, an emerging area of research is indicating that blocks and cold outbreaks are becoming more common during the fall [11], as arctic sea ice extent declines and the barrier between arctic and lower latitude weather erodes [12].
While we may never know how each of these elements specifically contributed to the path, severity and subsequent damage that Sandy caused, we do know that climate change will result in deviations from the normal weather of the past. Hurricane Sandy is just one data point in the observational record that shows a trend of increasing risk from extreme weather. The most important lesson to take away from the terrible damage that Sandy caused is that we must be more prepared for extreme weather in the future and be aware of the changes in risk that are underway. This means taking action to adapt to increases in risk that are already exist, and acting now to reduce carbon dioxide emissions in order to avoid a risk level in the future that is simply too costly to cope with.

3 suspected drug traffickers arrested
Three suspected local drug traffickers were arrested Wednesday night during a traffic stop.
All three are accused of selling heroin to confidential informants from the Major Crimes Task Force over the past several months, according to a press release from the Washington County Sheriff's Office.
Michael V. Richards, 35, of 1365 McGill Road, Vincent, was arrested for the fourth time this year on heroin-related charges. Richards is accused of selling between one and three grams of heroin to an informant on four occasions in January and was therefore charged with four felony counts of trafficking in heroin.
Michael A. Snider, 39, of 518 Columbia Ave., Williamstown, was charged with two counts of trafficking in drugs for selling small quantities of heroin to an informant on consecutive days in early March.
Joshua S. Gibson, 28, of 707 Front St., Marietta, was accused of one count of trafficking in drugs for selling an informant three doses of heroin in January.
Agents also found $2,000 during the traffic stop, which they believe was to be used to purchase more heroin in Columbus.
Richards and Snider are being held at the Washington County Jail on a $27,500 and $10,000 bond, respectively. Gibson posted his $5,000 bond.
The Major Crimes Task Force is a multi-faceted organization composed of representatives from the Marietta and Belpre Police departments; the Bureau of Criminal Investigation and Identification, the Morgan County Prosecuting Attorney and Sheriff's offices and the Washington County Prosecuting Attorney and Sheriff's offices.

Really nice, full equipped and super central apartment managed by a really nice host! It was a pleasure to stay here!
Mooi, schoon en compleet appartement voor een citytrip. Centraal gelegen dus een uitstekende uitvalsbasis om de stad te verkennen. Wij hebben er een prima tijd gehad.
Goed en zeer net appartement op perfecte locatie en gelegen op de 1e etage. Nette ontvangst van Laszlo . In overleg konden we 4 uurtjes eerder inchecken !! Appartement is zeer compleet ingericht voor een nette prijs. Dit was de 2e keer dat we in dit appartement verbleven en bij een volgend bezoek komen we graag terug. Alles op loopafstand !! Ongeveer 500 m naar Deak/ Centraal punt metrolijnen. Tip: Fietsverhuur op ongeveer 300 m , Hi-Bike. Erg Goed! Henk

The apartment is full of light and air. Completely white, clean and perfectly equipped. The entrance to the building is a little bit worrying but when entering the apartment door, another world is there.
Position: perfect, in the middle of the middle of the city life. All metros converge there and also trams and buses (m3 for airport, m1 for spa, bus 16 for Buda and Mátyás templum, tram 47-48-49 for synagogue, other baths and so on. Thermal centres can be reached with one line caught on the main square, without changes.
A little bit noisy, in the lae evening, cause the pubs and the high number of persons but the windows are perfectly isolating the inside. So, no problem.
Also a little balcony for smokers is available.
Its a lovley spacious apartment in an old building, nice bits of character with all the mod cons including a smoothie machine. It looks out across the street to a pleasant little copse of trees and altho on the first floor, it is elevated so you dont see people walking by. Its a lovely quiet street tho so not a lot of foot traffic anyway. The location is amazing for bars, pubs, cafes, Danube bridges etc. Make sure you walk in every direction as there are little discoveries everywhere. Just be aware if you stay, and i recommend you do, the washing machine seems to be designed by a crazy, bored, or vindictive, European engineer so get a lesson in how to work the dazzling array of often contradictory dials and buttons with the nice owner. Especially if you're from the southern hemisphere where you're probably used to more logical machinery. Perhaps Europeans enjoy the flagellatory experience indisit whiteware offers.
Me and my boyfriend had a great time there! I'll recommend this place to all my friends who wants to visit Budapest. :)
We had a very comfortable time at the apartment, it was clean and the location was perfect! thanks. :)
We had a very good stay in Vaci utca. The apartment is convinient. Everything you need is there. Good bed, nice and cosy livingroom, kitchen, not modern but usefull(you can find the things you need) and a good bathroom(shower in the bath). We liked the decoration and furniture in the house. It made us feel at home. Beautyful old building, beautiful gallerie/courtyard, 3th floor with lift but before you reach the lift you have to take some stepps. The location of the apartment is very central; in the shopping street( but very quiet), metro, tram and busses at 2 minites. Price-quality rate; you get a good apartment for a good price. Laslo and Aliz are very nice people to help you out. If we go to Budapest again, it would be in this apartment. Recommendable.
