Best Travel Photos Of The Week: Canadian Travellers On The Move
What a week. Not only did Canadians have to contend with wild weather across the country and some of the busiest airport line-ups of the year, but there was also word that the world was coming to an end.
Nevertheless, that didn't stop Canadians from travelling as they hiked, biked and snapped photos in Europe and North America. For travellers like Krista Rowland, this week allowed the Radio and Television Arts student to explore the city of Utretch in the Netherlands. Meanwhile, long time bloggers, Gone with the Family went down south to Disney World just in time for the Christmas season (and festive light show).
It goes without saying that to travel is to move and movement is the theme for this week's round-up of travel photos. Whether it's a hike in a national memorial or a stroll in the markets of Brixton in the United Kingdom, this week's photos may just motivate those still at home to get out and start planning their next adventure.
Snow blankets the warning lights at a rail road crossing on the shore of Alta Lake outside Whistler, B.C., write Rebecca Ananda, a B.C. native who returned to Vancouver for the holidays.
Like the blogger at Hike Bike Travel, the writers at The Planet D took this week to look back at their year in travel. Some of their highlights included a trip to the Vegas strip.
2012 kicked off with a trip to Peter Lougheed Park for the writers at Hike Bike Travel. Skiing just outside of Banff National Park would only be the start of many adventures across North America.
Christmas in India may be without snow but that doesn't mean some of the traditional signs aren't available. However, as Mariellen Ward writes, recent events in India made celebrating Christmas more complicated this year.
While some Canadians were dealing with snow this week, photographer and blogger, Tracy Zhang travelled to New Orleans where she learned about graveyards and tombstones.
Krista Rowland took this photo while walking through Utrecht, Netherlands. She says it captures two things the Dutch are known for: bicycles and canals.
Brixton may have a reputation as a dodgy and dangerous neighbourhood but as Ayngelina writes, it has plenty of culture and charm.
Despite its appearance, Coronado National Memorial is full of many different living things. It also makes for a secluded hiking experience according to blogger Leigh McAdam.
When it comes to lights, cameras and action, there's few places that do it like Disney World's Hollywood Studio theme park. During the holidays, you can probably guess which of the three the park pulls all the stops for.
For the bloggers at Planet D, this week marked the time to take a look back at the year's best travel photos. Their trip to the Galapagos Islands featured some stunning shots of the local wildlife, like this iguana.
This photo comes courtesy of @deanguest from Twitter who snapped this shot of his hike at Red Rock Canyon, a conservation area in Las Vegas, Nevada.
As the year comes to an end, the writers at Hecktic Travels took the time this week to look back some of their most memorable trips and stand-out photos.
Macarons may be French in origin, but that doesn't mean you can't pick up one or two (or eight) of them when visiting Ladurée in the United Kingdom. Photo credit: Abigail Ocreto
Sometimes work gets in the way of globe-trotting but in the case of travel blogger Candice Walsh, that just means it's time to look back at some of her earlier adventures. This shot was taken from Montreal's tallest skyscraper, Altitude 737.
For the bloggers at Planet D, 2012 marked quite the year in travel.
This week saw Mariellen Ward return to Odisha, India, to catch both the sunrise and sunset from the same beach.
To paraphrase the blogger behind Bacon Is Magic, how can you resist taking a photo when B.C.'s Okanagan Valley provides such natural beauty?
Peru may be synonymous with Machu Picchu but there's more to the country than just the world-famous Inca site.
Roohi Sahajpal, a freelance writer and Ryerson University graduate, travelled to the island of Koh Tao in Thailand this month after a brief escape to India in November.
Why are there Skittles on the ground? Well, you'll have to read about it in Hecktic Travel's entry about their trip to the Devil's Punchbowl Country Park in Menomonie, Wisconsin to find out. (Hint: it involves trolls of the non-internet variety)
Pamela MacNaughtan, the writer behind Spunky Girl Travels didn't do much travelling this week so she did some reminiscing of all her trips in 2012 instead. This photo of the Sri Ponnambalam Vanesar Kovil Temple in Colombo, Sri Lanka from April stood out the most to us.
It was a quest for red that led travel blogger Ayngelina to snap this photo of blue, brown and green. You can read more about her quest to find out what kind of red wines British Columbia has in store for Canadians here.
Mariellen at Breath, Dream, Go had one of her dreams come true this week when she finally made the trip to Agra, India to see the Taj Mahal.
Leigh McAdam at Hike Bike Travel traded in the grey skies and snow-covered of roads of Calgary, Canada this week for a trip to Scottsdale, Arizona. While she was there, she snapped a photo of the Saguaro cactus as the sun sets.
For those who doubt how majestic the mountains of Banff, Alberta can be, check out Bike Hike Travel's post this week about cross-country skiing on The Cascade Fire Road.
When it comes to relaxing, there's no better place to do it than in a hotel. Better yet, take a page from Mariellen Ward's blog and do it from a hotel room with a stellar view.
This week, the the travelling duo behind The Planet D took things slow with a trip to the Pyrenees where they wined and dined on the mountain regions bordering France and Spain.
It's was almost a picture-perfect scene up at Canoe Bay for the travel bloggers at Hecktic Travels this week. But there was only one thing holding this romantic weekend-for-two back from a complete photo-finish.
As travel photographer Tracy Zhang writes, even a city like Toronto has a few gems worth photographing.
This photo comes courtesy of Connie Chan, a music photographer, who made the trip to New York City earlier this week to take in the city's electronic dance music scene.
What the community of Change Island lacks in size, it makes up charm and "magic". Don't expect to find any sky scrappers in this quiet town, but as travel blogger Candice Walsh points out, who needs tall buildings when you've got endangered ponies instead?
You can read about art all you want but there's just something more engrossing about oil and canvass when you're in a museum. However, if you're a kid, a museum — even one as famous as the Louvre — is no substitute for Disneyland. But as Lisa writes, children and museum trips can coexist peacefully with some preparation
Sometimes all it takes is a change in scenery to rekindle one's inspiration and who can so no to the sunny, scene setting of Stanford University in California?
Misery Bay isn't the cheeriest name for a travel destination, but names aren't everything. The Provincial Park offers something different during the summer months but November is the time to see some cool rocks.
If James Bond were a real person, he'd also be one of the world's most well-travelled secret agents. For now, lovers of Britain's most famous fictional spy will have to settle with him in Skyfall. For everyone else, let his many adventures only serve as inspiration for bloggers to travel destinations made famous by the franchise.
Wisconsin is mostly known for its cheese and if you're a Packers fan, it's football culture. Now, thanks to the couple behind Hecktic Travels, you can add gorgeous lakes to that list.
The city of Bangalore isn't a must-see destination for some tourists visiting India. However, if you've got a green thumb, or need a change from the hustle and bustle or New Delhi, this blogger may just change your mind.
An abandoned house near blogger Pamela MacNaughtan's parents' house in Amaranth, Manitoba paired beautifully with the autumn leaves.
That scene you see before you is in fact a medicinal bath in Budapest — Szechenyi Bath is the largest thermal bath in Europe, and as blogger Candice reports, it was all part of a visit to the city she found to be surprisingly party-centric.
It was a week of biggest and best in Europe, as blogger Tracy Zhang visited Norway's Jostedalsbreen, or Jostedal Glacier, the largest in continental Europe. As she put it, it was "a piece of history that had been formed thousands of years before me, and will remain thousands of years after."
For Dalene and Peter Heck, who are house-sitting in rural Wisconsin for the next three months, the first frost meant an opportunity to — what else? — kayak on the lake and break the ice with their paddles.
Loving all the James Bond stories surrounding the premiere of Skyfall? Then you may be interested to learn that Lois Maxwell, who played Miss Moneypenny in many of the films, moved to Espanola, Ontario with her kids — which blog Hike Bike Travel visited this week.
You might not expect a place in the middle of Montana to be awash in neon signs — check out the rest of blogger Ayngelina of Bacon Is Magic's pictures to get the full view.
As part of her daughter's fourth grade trip, blogger Lisa of Gone With The Family got to enjoy the somewhat surreal event that is the Medieval Times. Haven't been yet? Be warned — you have to eat with your hands.
Screech, the very strong rum sold in Newfoundland, not only requires drinking — it also requires initiation, as blogger Corbin Fraser of I Backpack Canada discovered this week.
Just imagine this — a stunning hot air balloon ride adrift over the majesty of the Pyrenees in Spain. Then get jealous of Dave and Deb of The Planet D, who got to do it this week, and take some great pictures in the process.
While the Traveling Canucks weren't technically in northern India this week, their pictures of the stunning scenes of the region were certainly worth a second peek, especially during Diwali.

Travelling Canadian couple Dalene and Pete Heck took the time to revisit Banff at the end of October, as well as nearby Canmore's Three Sisters (pictured here) and couldn't get enough, enjoying every moment of the natural beauty and relaxation they found there.
Melissa, of Melissa To And Fro, departed on October 1 on a six-month round-the-world trip to Costa Rica, Europe and many more places. Not jealous yet? Check out her shot of Bali, Indonesia from this week.
Dave and Deb, Canada's Adventure Couple, took in the flawlessness of Switzerland's countryside and city scenes (and kind of made us want to get on a Ferris wheel).
Leigh McAdam of Hike Bike Travel took on the task of climbing Upper Calf Creek Falls in southern Utah this week, exploring volcanic boulders and cool pools, with a sky so blue it looked like you could jump into it as well.
Vancouverites Cameron and Nicole Wears of Traveling Canucks shared a picture from Cameron's uncle this week, who revisited Thailand's Koh Phi Phi this week after 25 years — check out the changes a generation has wrought!
Nomadic Samuel has been living abroad for seven years, and his favourite place by far and away is southeast Asia — in particular, right now, Malaysia. Between the diverse landscape and melting pot of cultures, this is one underrated spot he thinks all travellers should visit (shot taken in George Town, Penang).

In 1645, the Matinecock tribe sold 17,000 wooded acres of land to the Governor of the New Netherlands, Willem Kieft, who parceled the land out among Dutch and English settlers. A descendant of English nobility named William Lawrence received 900 acres in an area called Tew's Neck, as it was then called. In this way, he became College Point's first English settler. Later, a gentleman named Eliphalet Stratton acquired 320 acres of this original parcel, and Lawrence Neck became Strattonport. In 1838, the Reverend William Augustus Muhlenberg, rector of St. George Episcopal Church in Flushing, founded St. Paul's College on the site of what is now MacNeil Park. This institution lasted less than a decade, but its name became permanently stamped on the entire community of College Point.
In the 1850's, a German immigrant named Conrad Poppenhusen arrived in College Point and changed it forever. The process known as Vulcanization – the process of treating rubber to give it strength and durability – had recently been discovered, and Poppenhusen saw the economic potential. He was able to use hard rubber to replace whalebone (which was the standard at the time) in everything from ladies corsets to scientific equipment. Poppenhusen built a large factory in the area, employing hundreds of immigrant workers and constructed a model community with schools, water and sewage systems, a branch of the Long Island Railroad, and a cobblestone road to Flushing. The very first free Kindergarten in the United States was established by Conrad Poppenhusen at the Poppenhusen Institute, an edifice he created for the education and enlightenment of his workers. The original core collection of what would become the Library was housed within the Poppenhusen Institute.
In the year 1904, when Theodore Roosevelt was President of the United States, the Poppenhusen Branch of the Queens Borough Public Library opened its doors to an enthusiastic community. It was constructed of brick and stone in the Classical Revival style by Heins and LaFarge, and was one of the original Carnegie buildings in the Queens system. Only six of these remain in the borough. While the building itself was financed by railroad magnate Andrew Carnegie, the land was donated by the citizens of the College Point community. The core of the original collection was donated by Conrad Poppenhusen and family, comprised of the books that had originally been housed at the Poppenhusen Institute. In addition to achieving Landmark status, the branch has gone through a complete interior renovation which preserves its stately appearance while enhancing library service with modern technology. The library celebrated its official Centennial in October of 2004. The Poppenhusen branch proudly bears the name of the historic benefactor of College Point.
While College Point had become known during the latter part of the 19th Century as the hard rubber capital of the Northeast, plastics would eventually take over and replace hard rubber as a component in the manufacture of small consumer goods. The rubber company Mr. Poppenhusen had established at College Point moved to New Jersey in the 1930's, and the last of the College Point rubber factories closed in the 1970's. College Point is still home to a number of small businesses and factories, and its community remains vital and involved, solidified by long-time residents and merchants, and revitalized by new immigrant families. College Point, with its many changes over time, still maintains a waterside, small-town feel.

As the winter wind makes fast tracks, it leaves a burgeoning crop of ancient masterpieces, world premieres, farces, and musicals to blossom come April. Boston Theatre Works slides right into the season with the New England premiere of Rebecca Gilman's The Sweetest Swing in Baseball (April 13–May 6; BCA; 617.728.4321), where a young artist who's landed in a psych ward finds an unlikely source of strength and support in archetypal bad-ass Darryl Strawberry. Gilman isn't the only playwright riffing on familiar personalities. CRASHarts hosts the New York-based Civilians' (I Am) Nobody's Lunch (April 25–30; Zero Arrow Theatre; 617.876.4275), which raids popular culture to feed a musical investigation of how we acquire information and how what we learn has an impact on national identity.

Check it out... great price compared to the ones synthetic ones. "Subject should have said US Made Steel Mags"
This guy is a member of Saiga 12 forum... We really need to give this guy some business! I just made my order and will share my experience once I get them. He also has followers and floor plates that will turn the factory 8rnd mag to 10 with two compliance parts.
I have 6 of his mags, they are very well made and worth the price.
Constitution Or Bust
Ron Paul 2012
Great to hear... Just curious how long they have been available? Can't wait to try them out.
Thanks for the heads up, I saw the thread when he made the proto-type, but I thought he was just making them for himself, that's great he's offering them to others.

Anything wrong with the FBMG mags?
Their rep PVT PYLE is non existent anywhere I look.
But I still have my FBMG mags if you need some.
I had 3 FBMG bodies and no inerds, I asked them to send me the inerds when they got them in.
After waining for a year ccspecs sent me enough parts to complete the 3 of them from his 8 to 10 Saiga conversion kits. They work just fine now.
Constitution Or Bust
Ron Paul 2012
I have 10 FBMG mags (I'm a self admitted mag hoe). Just wondering what all the hubbub was about there being 308 Saiga mags when FBMG has already been out there.
I do remember when I got them it was kindof strange that (IIRC) the 308 Saiga mag was the only GUN thing on their website. Seemed a little off.
Anyways, I might get a few of these new guy's mags as they're steel and like I said I'm a mag hoe.
Next order will be a few 5 and 15 round mags when he has them available.

17u PG World Series Breakdown
: : Story
David Rawnsley
Monday, July 23, 2012
16 of the top travel clubs in the country will be kicking off play late Tuesday afternoon in Peoria, Ariz.at the inaugural 17u Perfect Game World Series. The level of talent that will take the field at the San Diego Padres and Seattle Mariners minor league complex has impressed even the Perfect Game staff that is organizing the event.
The 17u World Series is realistically the last team event that many of these top prospects will play in this summer, and scouts place high value on seeing potential draftees play in a balance of showcases and competitive team tournaments. Many of the players in Peoria will go from Arizona to Syracuse, N.Y. for the East Coast Professional Showcase August 1-4, to be followed quickly thereafter by the Area Code Games back on the West Coast in Long Beach, Calif. August 5-10. Then at least 18 of the players at the 17u World Series will make their way to San Diego for the 2012 Perfect Game All American Classic presented by Rawlings on August 12.
In looking at who might be the favorite this week, by far the most important consideration is pitching depth. The 16-team field is broken down into two eight team pools, and each team will play seven games in four days under the hot Arizona sun (although all games will be played in the mornings and evenings, with no mid-afternoon games), before the top two teams in each pool will face off the morning of July 28 in the playoffs. The final two teams will eventually play nine games in five days.
Here's a look at how one scout handicaps the field, including a player to pay careful attention to from each team.
Houston Banditos
The Banditos are fresh from winning the WWBA 17u National Championship in Marietta two weeks ago and have been aggressively adding pitching depth to their roster for this event, including New York RHP/SS Matt Vogel. The outfield is especially strong and athletic with Darryn Sheppard, Stone Garrett, Walker Pennington and two-way standout Perfect Game All-American Nicholas Banks. Banks is joined by two other two-way prospects Kacy Clemens (another All-American) and Jake Jarvis.
Player to Watch:
RHP Kohl Stewart. A Texas A&M football quarterback recruit and yet another PG All-American on the Banditos roster, Stewart hasn't pitched much on the national scene this summer due to a minor back injury and football practice and is currently playing in the Texas 7-on-7 State Football Championships. But Banditos manager Ray DeLeon promises that Stewart and his mid-90s fastball will be in Arizona to take his start.
East Cobb Braves
The core of the Braves team just won the 18u BCS Finals in Fort Myers, Florida, so they are at the top of their games. Pitching depth has rarely been a problem with Kevin Baldwin's teams over the years, and their first four starting pitchers, Clinton Hollon, Kevin Davis, Robert Tyler and two-way prospect Travis DeMerritte, are all Perfect Game All-Americans. DeMerritte and leadoff hitter Josh Hart will key the offense along with 18u BCS MVP OF Keenan Innis (son of former big leaguer, Jeff Innis).
Player to Watch:
RHP Clinton Hollon. Hollon hasn't been hitting the 96-97 mph range he did last summer and fall, but has really improved his off-speed offerings and pitchability, and his current 90-94 mph velocity is still plenty firm enough. A dominant low pitch early outing could set him to come back strong in the playoffs.
Nor Cal
This event could be an opportunity for Nor Cal to make a strong statement to the teams from the Southeast that they still have the same caliber talent, and the pre-PG World Series talk is that they are going full effort to take home the title.
Player to Watch:
OF Ryan Kirby. OF Kort Peterson and SS Brett Binning have better physical tools, but Kirby is a dominant left handed hitter with big power and the ability to hit top level stuff. If he has a great tournament, he could carry this team.
San Gabriel Valley Arsenal
Coach Mike Viera's team might be a bit on the young side, with three top 2014 prospects, 3B/RHP Jack Flaherty, SS/RHP Jacob Gatewood and OF Scott Hurst, among their top players. But the pitching staff looks deep and there are plenty of two-way players who can eat up innings on the mound as well.
Player to Watch:
3B/RHP Jack Flaherty. Flaherty, who as a teammate of 2012 first rounders Lucas Giolito and Max Fried at Harvard Westlake High School is very well known to scouts, doesn't look like a 2014 prospect at 6-foot-4, 200-pounds, and he doesn't play like one either.
Tri-State Arsenal
The Arsenal are the classic team that always outperforms the sum of their parts and generally finish "in the money" at virtually every major WWBA or BCS tournament. Pitching depth will be a key, just as it is with every team, as the Arsenal's top pitcher, LHP Robert Kaminsky, the top ranked pitching prospect in the 2013 class, isn't expected to throw, but may suit up and play center for the Arsenal.
Player to Watch:
C Matt Thaiss. Should Kaminsky take the mound everyone will certainly be watching, but Thaiss, with his advanced defense and strong bat, will make more of an impact on the Arsenal's chances as a whole.
Indiana Prospects
The Prospects chances were diminished at the last minute when Perfect Game All-American Trey Ball, one of the top two-way players in the country, was unable to make the trip.
Player to Watch:
IF/RHP Dylan Manwaring. The 6-foot-3, 200-pound Manwaring has a strong right-handed bat that should produce runs in the middle of the Prospects batting order, especially if he is hitting next to 1B Joe Dudek. He might have a higher ceiling on the mound though, with a fastball that gets into the low-90s.
Mountain West
Mountain West has a solid set of starting pitchers who have performed well in WWBA/BCS events in the past. Scoring runs could be the key to their success.
Player to Watch:
RHP Tyler Thorne. Thorne, a Stanford signee, won't light up the radar guns with 90-plus mph fastballs but he has outstanding feel and command of three different breaking balls, which is a recipe for instant success at this level. He'll start Mountain West's first game.
Team Northwest
Player to Watch:
IF Nate Mondou. Mondou has a very good left handed bat with some power and should be in the center, along with teammate OF Ian Hamilton, of most everything that Team Northwest does offensively.
Marucci Elite
Marucci is a true national team, with players from all four time zones and a list of college commitments that reads like a who's who of the top college programs in the country. They will have the depth to endure the schedule and the offensive fire power to give their pitchers a couple of breaks with high scoring efforts. The middle of the field stands out with catchers Jon Denney and Andrew Dunlap, middle infielder Blake Hennessey and centerfielder Matt McPhearson.
Player to Watch:
RF Justin Williams. Williams has been heating up all summer and will enter Arizona looking to establish himself as the top hitter in the 2013 class, especially with Georgia OF Clint Frazier and California 1B Dominic Smith not participating. He has the tools to accomplish that.
Evoshield Canes
The Canes have what is likely the deepest roster at the event and probably have the pitching to play three games a day instead of just two. They lack the All-American star power in their starting lineup that some of the other teams have, but scoring runs shouldn't be a problem.
Player to Watch:
OF Jake Fraley. It might be more fun to watch 6-foot-6, 225-pound 2014 first baseman Justin Bellinger swing the bat and maybe lose a ball or three, but Fraley has established himself as one of the best pure hitters in the 2013 class and should impact every game with his smooth left handed swing.
South Florida Elite
Perfect Game staff members asked about a sleeper team to take home the title almost unanimously picked South Florida as their choice. With the likes of C Zach Collins, OF William Abreu, IF Danny Zardon, 1B Nick Longhi and OF Brandon Diaz in their lineup, the Elite are not going to be outscored in a slugfest. Where the pitching depth comes from is another matter.
Player to Watch:
C Zach Collins. Collins has put on some of the most impressive hitting displays in WWBA history at past events and is one of the elite power hitters in the country. Scouts will also be watching how he handles the South Florida pitching staff.
San Diego Show
The Show have seemingly cornered the marked on big and projectable left handed pitchers with Perfect Game All-Americans Ian Clarkin and Stephen Gonzalves. It's uncertain if those two will make the trip, but one of the top arms from the 2014 class, fellow lefty Brady Aiken, will be. All three players have good bats as well.
Player to Watch:
2014 catcher Alex Jackson is one of the more prolific power hitters in the country and perhaps the top catcher in the 2014 class.
Arizona Elite
The "host" Arizona team might be one of the most entertaining teams in the field as they are loaded with position prospects and top level athletes in the middle of the field, not to mention multiple sons of former big league players (1B Cody Bellinger, SS Riley Unroe, IF Brantley Bell, RHP Jesus Daal). It doesn't realistically look like they have enough pitching to contend, but it won't be for lack of talent. The team will be a scout magnet.
Player to Watch:
1B/LHP Cody Bellinger. Bellinger looks like a younger and more slender version of top Marlins prospect Christian Yelich at the plate with his strong left handed swing and will have an impact on the tournament as an upper-80s left handed pitcher as well. Father Clay was a second round pick in 1989 who spent 11 years in the minors before his big league debut.
ABD Bulldogs
The ABD Bulldogs don't have the star power that marked their teams a few years ago when they were winning multiple national championships, but they still have a very talented team and will play with the confidence that they can beat anyone.
Player to Watch:
IF Elliott Barzilli. Barzilli is taking the highly unusual path of committing to Georgia Tech despite being a Southern California product but he is without a doubt a national level talent. He was one of the top performers at the recent USA Baseball Tournament of Stars.
Baseball U
Player to Watch:
C Karl Ellison. The group of catchers in the Class of 2013 is outstanding, which means that players like Ellison can be overlooked when in other years they might have been Perfect Game All-Americans. Ellison is a standout on both sides of the ball and has been hitting with big power this summer.
Dallas Patriots
Player to Watch:
IF Skyler Bean. Bean is the younger brother of the St. Louis Cardinals 2012 supplemental first-round pick C Steven Bean, and is a talented prospect in his own right. He's a different type athlete than his brother at 5-foot-9, 165-pounds, but is quick and athletic and was one of the top offensive performers at the WWBA 17U National Championships earlier in the month.

Family members of residents at Bristol Nursing Home discuss concerns
BRISTOL, Tenn. - First, their new admissions were stopped; days later, Bristol Nursing Home learned about another problem.
We checked the nursing home's Medicare inspection record and found it ranking much below average. Now Medicaid and Medicare is cutting funding for patients there.
More than 100 residents at Bristol Nursing Home may have to find a new home.
That's concerning news for Niki Mullins since her father has lived here for about three weeks. Mullins says she's worried about having to move him elsewhere. "In this area space is limited and beds are at a premium, so I don't know that that's even an option. We'll see what happens," she said.
It's due to a move by the Centers for Medicaid and Medicare Services, which notified the nursing home it was involuntarily terminating its Medicare and Medicaid contracts.
When it comes to why CMS cut funding, Terena Raidt, Vice President of Sales and Business Development for Bristol Nursing Home, said "[on] an ongoing basis we're working with regulatory agencies."
It's one more battle after investigators with the Tennessee Department of Health found several violations during an inspection back on April 18. Click here to read that story.
Inspectors determined those violations detrimental to the health, safety, and welfare of residents. The 43-page report (click here to download the report in PDF format) shows violations including administration, records and reports, and residents' rights.
Allegations in the report date back to early December, when a nurse allegedly put tape on a resident's mouth. In the report we learned that nurse was terminated by an administrator December 6.
A complaint was also investigated alleged sexual activity by a Certified Nursing Assistant and a resident. In the report a medical exam was completed by a gynecologist that found that allegation unfounded.
Currently the nursing home cannot accept any new residents.
Karen Watson Clark's mother and father once lived at Bristol Nursing Home. She says she's seen first-hand the improvements the nursing home has made over the years, but this news was a surprise. "There are always concerns in any rehab or nursing home," she said.
Nursing home officials say they do not know if the termination of Medicaid and Medicare benefits will be permanent.

The Ukiah City Council Wednesday approved two items related to the property set aside for a potential Costco store in the Redwood Business Park on Airport Park Boulevard, including transferring the land back to its former redevelopment agency.
City Manager Jane Chambers described the reconveyance of the property from the City of Ukiah to the Successor Agency of the former Ukiah Redevelopment Agency (URA) as a "procedural item" made under the direction of the California State Controller.
Council member Mari Rodin asked City Attorney David Rapport to explain "for anybody who doesn't understand the details of this, that we aren't transferring the land back because we've done anything wrong.
"Because that's kind of out there in the community -- that it's because we've been bad that we have to do this," Rodin continued, adding that there is a lot of "misinformation floating in the community. But it's really because the state arbitrarily set this date of Jan. 1, 2011."
Rapport said the 18 acres purchased by the former URA from the Redwood Business Park (RBP) in 2009 was transferred to the city in March of 2011 when it appeared that the state's redevelopment agencies would be dissolved.
"(The transfer) was lawful at the time under the laws that existed, and it wasn't done to avoid using the property for the purpose it was required to be used for," Rapport said.
Then in June of 2011, Rapport said a new law was enacted that "authorized the state controller to direct any city that had property transferred to it from a redevelopment agency after Jan. 1, 2011, to transfer it back to the agency, in this case the successor agency, so the city's now transferring the land back."
Rapport said the successor agency, the Ukiah City Council, can now submit a "long-range property management plan to the state Department of Finance, and if that is approved, then these properties can be used for the redevelopment purposes that they were acquired for, so the city's goal will hopefully be realized anyway."
The second item was approving a tolling agreement between the RBP and the city, which Rapport said "preserves the right for arbitration."
"There was a provision in the agreement that said under certain circumstances, the RBP would have an option to repurchase the property," and a letter sent to Rapport earlier in November by Gary Akerstrom states he "believes he does have a right" to buy back the property," but "the city disagrees."
"The tolling agreement just says that there's an agreement between the city and the RBP that the dispute will be put off to see if Costco buys the property, which will dissolve the dispute," he told the council. "And if (Costco doesn't buy) the property, (the agreement) preserves the right for arbitration (by a third party)."
"We're in compliance with every requirement we've had to meet to this date, (and) we have not missed any of the deadlines nor any of the requirements," Chambers said. "And we're diligently seeking a finding a completion' (for the dissolution of the URA)."
"When this is all over, will we get a redevelopment merit badge?" asked Council member Benj Thomas, and Chambers said "the finding of completion' will be our merit badge."
"Unless the state can find a way to steal the money," said Vice-Mayor Doug Crane.
"We're all unhappy about the dissolving of redevelopment, but we're moving forward," said Mayor Mary Anne Landis.
The council then approved both items unanimously as part of its consent calendar.
The Oversight Board for the URA's successor agency was expected to hold its next monthly meeting Dec. 12, but that meeting has been canceled.

Family, Friends Of Teen Killed In Hit and Run Plead For Justice
Ricky Figueroa, 14, Killed Thursday
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - Dozens gathered Friday night to remember a teen who died a hit and run and plead for help finding the driver who killed him.
Ricky Figueroa, 14, was crossing Circle Drive near Airport Road when witnesses said he stumbled and was crushed by a pickup truck at about 8 p.m. Thursday. The man driving the truck kept going.
"He always loved me, no matter what. He always protected me when I was little," said Ricky's younger sister Diana Gonzalez through her tears. "Everybody in this whole entire family was crying to death. I was really worried about my mother."
Ricky's family was joined by his friends and classmates 24 hours after the deadly accident. They gathered on the sidewalk, lighting candles and crying, several feet away from where Ricky was hit.
"It's not going to be the same walking on earth without him," said friend Jade Archuleta.
"We lost someone that was very important in our life," said Rosie Cordova, another friend. "And it's really going to hurt for a long time."
Ricky's classmates said they want the man who hit their friend to see their pain.
"I hope that person learns they're hurting a lot of people right now," said Brittany Dykes, who said Ricky was like her brother.
No one could understand how someone could just drive away.
"It's not right," said Isabel Gutierrez, sobbing. "What sick person does that? Leaves a kid to die?"
"I hope the person that did that comes forward," said Takeya Gilliard. "If he did, I bet God would forgive him for giving himself up instead of trying to run away."
Police said the man was driving a 1985-1987 Chevrolet pickup truck or a 1987-1991 GMC pickup truck. The vehicle is described as a full-sized pickup with a "lift kit" and damage to the left front portion of the vehicle near the left front, single, high-low headlight system. Witnesses said the pickup truck was grey or light colored.
A witness told KRDO Newschannel 13 the man driving was white with short hair or a shaved head.
Call Colorado Springs Police at 444-7000 with any information.

Incredible smell; works nicely!
I don't demand much from a deodorant; I'm not a big perspirer, nor am I especially active, so I don't require much. I can't say how Grapefruit & Wild Ginger Deodorant Stick by Natures Gate holds up for sweaty people, but it works just great for me. It smells good enough to eat! Yeow! Actually smells like ginger and grapefruit, which is a genuine surprise!~
Smells terrific; works for my modest needs.

News Release
Council Roundup: Downtown Livability initiative launched
Also, budget hearing draws public comment
The City Council Monday launched an initiative to develop code and design guideline changes that would ensure a "livable, memorable downtown environment." In an effort to have code amendments in place before another construction boom, the council reallocated $350,000 from the city's capital budget for the Downtown Livability project.
Key objectives for the Downtown Livability initiative earlier identified by staff include:
The council will determine the scope of work and principles for the initiative after its August recess, and may add or subtract elements from those noted above. A package of proposed changes to the land use code and design guidelines could be presented to the council, possibly by the end of 2013. The Downtown Livability initiative was proposed for the 2011-2012 budget, but the council decided against pursuing it at that time. Since then, the council and Sound Transit reached an agreement on a light-rail alignment that includes a downtown tunnel.
Council study session material
Feedback: Dan Stroh, Planning Director, 425-452-5255 or email@example.com
Budget hearing draws public commentThe council held the second of three public hearings concerning the 2013-2014 operating budget and 2013-2019 capital budget, and seven residents spoke concerning a variety of city programs and projects they want funded.
In addition to the hearings, the city hosted a pair of public forums about the budget in June, at City Hall and the Crossroads Community Center. The final budget hearing will be Nov. 19, prior to the council's adoption of the budgets in December.
For the second time the city is using an "outcomes" approach to build the budget, with city services and programs evaluated based on community priorities, or outcomes, rather than city departments.
The Finance Department's budget page has more information on the budget process, including a sign-up for text or email alerts about budget news.

City salaries scrutinized by anti-tax advocate
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - The city of Colorado Springs shared salary information for its employees and one tax critic said the waste shows.
There are close to 280 Colorado Springs Utilities employees and close to 70 city employees that make more than Mayor Steve Bach's $96,000 salary.
Tax Payer Bill of Rights-author Douglas Bruce said it is money that is being wasted.
"It's outrageous and people need to know they're getting ripped off by the city," said Bruce.
The information on salaries is available upon request and not done yearly necessarily. That makes a year-by-year salary comparison difficult to formulate. But a spokeswoman for the city said Colorado Springs did reduce it's overall number of jobs on the payroll compare to last year by 29.
During a recent budget workshop meeting held by the mayor, the city handed out information that shows $12 out of every $100 spent in the 2013 general fund budget goes toward City Council and administration. It's the third largest piece of the budget pie behind fire ($21) and police/court ($42.)
Here's a look at the salary information for city workers paid from the general fund and Colorado Springs Utilities employees.

After Proposition 209 eliminated affirmative action at the University of California system beginning with the 1996–97 school year, Provost Cecil Lytle and other faculty felt strongly that the university itself should take action to ensure that the university system continued to serve students from low-income families of color. Keenly aware that high schools were not preparing the majority of low-income minority youths to enter and thrive in college, they proposed to the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) chancellor that a school be created on the campus to do just that. The first attempt was rejected by faculty who did not think it was the university's responsibility and by critics who were concerned about the financial implications. But the chancellor and others, along with Lytle, were relentless, with Lytle even laying his job on the line. Finally, he and his new committee prevailed, and in 1999 the faculty senate agreed to launch a charter school consisting of grades 6–12 on the UCSD campus. The planning team recruited Doris Alvarez, an experienced principal from San Diego Unified School District, eager for a chance to work at a school where she could try innovative ideas like academies, strands, and detracking, which had been difficult to implement in her former inner-city school.
The school opened at a temporary facility on the UCSD campus, with 150 students learning in bungalows. The second year the school grew to 400 students and the university raised $14 million from private donations in just five months to build a new permanent school building on the UCSD campus. Peter Preuss, a university regent, donated $6 million to launch the school, now viewed as another department at the university, board members explain. Its mission is "to improve educational practices and provide an intensive college preparatory school for low-income student populations, which are historically underrepresented on the campuses of the University of California. If these goals are realized, the school will matriculate students who are competitively eligible to enter the University of California or other selective institutions of higher education."
School Operations and Educational Program
The Preuss School serves 772 students in grades 6–12, all qualifying for the free or reduced-price lunch program and Title I services. In fact, such qualifications are requisite for applying to the school lottery, along with having parents who did not graduate from a four-year college or university. One senior explains she likes the school's required uniforms because "it covers up that we are all poor." The intensive learning program results in both a longer school day and longer year, and has a block schedule with 100-minute periods. A Saturday enrichment program is available for students and parents alike. Classes are not tracked and all students take eight yearlong AP and honors-level courses, and complete the California subject requirements, known as A-G coursework. For electives, students also take fine arts, including choir performance, drama, orchestra, and art. In order to graduate, seniors are required to complete a research paper and present an exhibition about it, and engage in community service learning and a twelve-week internship.
Teachers and other staff hold high expectations for students and the school fosters an excitement about learning both inside and outside the classroom. The shared aim is that graduates will develop lifelong intellectual curiosity and dedication to continued learning. All students participate in an advisory program by grade level. Staying together in the same advisory group from sixth grade through senior year gives them continuity and support for their entire schooling experience at Preuss. During an advisory period, students have 30 minutes of "kick back and read time" and "kick back and calculate time" at least twice a week, and also receive tutorials for academic help using the school's I-CLEAR model (Inquiry, Collaboration, Linking, Evidence, Application, and Research).
Students are bused to the UCSD campus from towns near the border, such as San Ysidro and National City, as well as poorer communities in Southeast San Diego. Some students travel over an hour to the school, taking two buses or public transportation to the school bus to get to the Preuss campus. "We are from every part of San Diego," one student explains. "Even though we take the bus for an hour, we use the time to talk and sleep." While an explicit citizenship code covers behavior, effort, attendance, and discipline, the dean of students points out how older students act as keepers of the positive school climate. Even on the bus home, by their own example they prevent rowdy behavior among the younger students.
Teaching and learning at Preuss are data driven. The principal explains how staff closely examine student assessment data to make teaching decisions and to meet student academic needs. For example, the math department has carefully examined student assessment data and made some program changes as a result. One group of students entered the school below the 50th percentile in math, so staff added a math elective for enrichment, MathQuest in seventh grade, providing time for teachers to teach math concepts in a different way. As a result, they found that student test scores went up. They also noticed that sixth- and seventh-graders were doing well in math, but there was a drop in algebra scores in the eighth grade. So they pulled in another teacher, lowering the class size to fifteen students for algebra and started examining teaching techniques for improving their algebra instruction. They also added two tutors to assist, so now in the eighth-grade algebra class, there are two tutors and one teacher for 15 students, which means each adult can sit with five students at each of the three tables to work closely with them on math concepts.
Family Involvement and Partnerships
The school works to involve parents in creating a community of high expectations for students. Parents have representatives on the school's Advisory Council and one on the charter school board. "We honor parents by educating them about college, financial aid, teenage development, time management, and other relevant topics," explains Principal Doris Alvarez. The school orients families by hosting a "meet the principal" reception before the school year starts. Required to donate 15 volunteer hours each year, some parents attend sports events, others help out in Spanish classes or the library, some make and use phone trees for calling other parents to invite families to school events. There are parent meetings once a month on Saturdays. The school organizes parent workshops on college financial aid, and the monthly newsletter offers information about scholarships for which students can apply. During the Saturday enrichment program, parent meetings and events are held. For example, at a Preuss cultural day feast, a potluck was held to celebrate community and diversity.
Preuss is in many partnerships and collaborations with UCSD. The university provides interns and typically over 100 students volunteer as tutors each quarter at Preuss. It also pays the salary of the development director, who raises school funds and donates a nurse three days a week. The university serves as a tremendous resource for the school. For example, when Preuss students were in a school bus accident, UCSD provided counseling interns from their Ph.D. program to support students.
For the school's community mentor program, the volunteer coordinator at Preuss recruits UCSD staff and community members. Mentors meet once a week during lunch or advisory period with their student. The expectation is that it will be a long-term ongoing relationship for seven years. Preuss has 120 mentors who are "bending backwards for our kids," says Principal Alvarez.
Seniors can take advanced math classes at UCSD if they pass UCSD's placement test. Currently seven seniors are taking math tuition free at UCSD and Preuss pays for their books. Last year five to six students enrolled in courses at UCSD. Preuss monitors this activity carefully to make sure the students are mature enough to do well and to sustain their independence and motivation taking a college course. Seniors participate in 12-week internships at UCSD in various departments throughout the university. Students also have been summer interns at the cancer center, working at the university hospital.
Business partnerships with companies that have included Jack in the Box and Amylin Pharmaceuticals have provided $30,000 to sponsor trainings about diabetes and nutrition. Called the Student Well-Being Advocacy Program, or SWAP, the goal is to raise awareness with students and families about the risks of obesity and diabetes.
Governing for Accountability
The administrative team at Preuss consists of the principal, dean of students, business manager, facilities coordinator, head counselor, and guidance counselor. The university vice-chancellor appoints the school's board, whose 17 members include the assistant vice chancellor, community representatives, educators, and UCSD faculty. They closely watch students' performance and monitor fiscal operations. Board members explain that the conditions of being a charter school allow Preuss to avoid having to deal with the seniority system in the San Diego Unified School District where those with the most seniority have first choice for open positions. Its charter status gives Preuss full control over hiring, enabling it to hire the teachers it needs.
Staff at Preuss consider themselves teacher-researchers. Teams of teachers have engaged in lesson study, initially by department, focusing on an area of interest in math, writing, and assessment. Teachers plan a lesson together, observe it being taught, then reconvene to critique and improve the lesson to be taught again by another colleague. This process, engaging teachers in peer observation, analysis of lessons, and teaching revised lessons, has proved a powerful tool for teachers to work together to improve instruction.
This year Preuss received 800 applications for 110 sixth-grade slots. The school has been so successful an exemplar that other schools are looking to expand the Preuss model. Gompers Middle School in San Diego reconstituted as a charter school and approached Preuss administrators to learn from their experience. Those in other University of California programs at Berkeley and Irvine have approached the Preuss board about initiating charter school partnerships for their campuses.
Of the 55 seniors in the class of 2004, 90 percent were accepted to four-year colleges and 10 percent to two-year colleges, guaranteed a spot at UCSD if they did well at the community colleges. Sixty-seven percent of the 2004 class attend four-year colleges and 33 percent attend two-year colleges. In the class of 2005, out of 75 seniors, 91 percent were accepted to four-year colleges and 9 percent to two-year colleges. Approximately 84 percent went on to attend four-year college and 16 percent to two-year college. Preuss graduates in 2007 will be the first to have started the school in the sixth grade. San Diego Unified School District under the authority of the UCSD chancellor has renewed Preuss School's charter for seven years, more than the five typically allotted, due to strong test results.
Parents applaud Preuss's culture of high academic performance in an environment that encourages risk-taking, the art of questioning, and logical and critical thinking. Many found low standards and expectations in the San Diego public schools and poor communication from teachers to students and parents. At Preuss, teachers will call home and contact parents and they appreciate this. Parents point out that the principal knows every student and that students are busy. They are grateful that their children are bused out of unsafe, crime-prone environments to attend school on the UCSD campus. "Everyone sacrifices to do well here," says a parent whose child wakes up at 5:15 a.m. and does not return home until 7 p.m. One parent with four students at the school explained, "The dream team all-star teachers make it worth it." Another parent whose daughter is now in her second year of college explains that the Preuss work ethic "carried over," which is why she is doing well. "It's like winning the lottery. I feel in my heart she will make it and be a role model for her two sisters."
|The Preuss School: Evidence of Closing the Achievement Gap
Preuss 10th-graders outperformed San Diego Unified School District high school students on the state English language arts and math tests, with 100 percent scoring proficient in English language arts and 99 percent scoring proficient in math.
No high school in the San Diego Unified School District serves as high a percentage of economically disadvantaged students as Preuss.
