Mead gymnasts lower state expectations
Thu., Feb. 20, 2014, midnight
The Mead gymnastics team, which captured a State 4A championship in 2012, heads to state expecting to challenge for a trophy.
Another state title? Not yet, says Panthers coach Laurie Chadwick.
She says her team – which will take one senior, six juniors, one sophomore and one freshman – is a year away.
Chadwick tabs Woodinville as the favorite.
"Woodinville has been scoring between 175 to 180 all year," Chadwick said. "We don't have the difficulty level to score that high. If we have a great meet we can score about 173. Woodinville would have to tank it. It's not a reasonable expectation."
The state meets begin Friday at the Tacoma Dome. The 3A/2A/1A begins at 9:15 a.m. and the 4A is in the evening at 6:30. Team and all-around titles are decided on Friday while individual titles are Saturday, beginning at 11:15 a.m.
Mead captured the West Central District/Greater Spokane League regional title last Saturday with 170.025 points, just ahead of Puyallup (169.85).
Junior Jenna Schlosser, a former Level 9 club gymnast, led Mead. She scored 37.575 points to capture the all-around title.
"I knew that we needed to be really clean going into the (regional) meet because our difficulty level wasn't really going to improve," Chadwick said. "They worked really hard getting things cleaned up. They performed well. We had a few mistakes but not a bunch of major mistakes."
Mead struggled through the season with injuries but appears to be peaking at the right time.
Chadwick said she'd be happy to finish runner-up.
"That would be a reasonable expectation," she said.

The jury in Jersey County Circuit Court returned the guilty verdicts against Ricky Burial at sea Families gather for service for JFR Jr., wife and sister-in-law FALMOUTH, Mass. (AP) -Family members watched mournfully from the deck of a Navy destroyer Thursday as a brass quintet played a hymn and the ashes of John F. Kennedy Jr., his wife and her sister were cast into the sea, consigned to the depths where they died. A flag was lowered to half-mast as about 15 mourners, some wearing black and ^flanked by sailors in dress ^whites, gathered on the stern of the USS Briscoe. They saw the dead returned to the sea along with three wreaths, about two miles from the spot where Kennedy's plane crashed Friday night. The destroyer spent about half an hour nearly motionless in the hazy sunshine off Martha's Vineyard for the service, led by Kennedy's sister, Caroline, and mother-in-law. Sen. Edward M. Kennedy and JFK Jr.'s cousins William Kennedy Smith and Maria Shriver were also there. At least two people appeared to rise and speak. A Navy honor guard also was on hand to fire a rifle volley for the two women and the young man who at age 3 raised a famous salute to the casket of his assassinated father, President John F. Kennedy. Flags were presented to the Defendant faces life for murder conviction E. Callahan, 23, who faces the possibility of life in prison without parole for his murder. conviction. Callahan was found guilty of first-degree murder in the killing of Ronald E. Haenitch, 28, of rural Jerseyville, who was stabbed in the chest with a pocket knife, the blade piercing his heart. The jury also found Callahan guilty on four counts of armed violence for seriously injuring four others at Lorton's Bar in Jerseyville, which has closed. Callahan stabbed a woman in the back, gave two men mas sive abdominal injuries and cut another man on the neck twice, just missing vital veins and arteries. A sentencing hearing will be scheduled before Circuit Judge Ronald Robinson. Members of Haenitch's family said they were extremely pleased with the verdict. "Now, we have to wait for the sentencing and see that he gets what he deserves," said the victim's mother, Mary Haenitch, who wept as the verdict was read. In his closing argument, Jersey County State's Attorney Three-vehicle accident See BURIAL, Page A-7 Godfrey firefighters extricated Alton resident Stephanie Slack and her infant son, Jameyon Alexander, from their car after a three-vehicle accident Thursday afternoon in the 5700 block of Godfrey Road.

Refinery sale takes next step By KERRY SMITH Telegraph staff writer ROXANA — The next stage in Clark Refining and Marketing Inc.'s planned purchase of Equiion's Wood River Refining Co. has begun. Since the two oil giants' formal announcement June 4 of the pending sale to Clark of what is known as the Shell plant, a team from Equilon Enterprises LLC has been busy gathering as much data as possible about the 80-year-old refinery, which employs 1,050 people. Wood River Refining President Phil Schwin said Thursday that obtaining and compiling historical and operational details about the plant is the initial step in the seller's due diligence process. "What we signed in June was a letter of intent to enter into a discussion exclusively with Clark on h sale of the Wood River plant. Now, both of our companies have transitioned into the due diligence stage. The purpose of due diligence is for Equilon to provide Clark with as much detailed data as possible so Clark can gain a good understanding of what it's buying." ■ See REFINERY, Page A-7 Gail Gisy reminded the jury it had heard from many witnesses since the trial began Tuesday. "We didn't hear from Ronald Haenitch — because this man over here robbed him of his life," Gisy said, pointing at Callahan, seated impassively with his attorneys.

By PAUL MACKIE Telegraph staff writer EDWARDSVILLE - Two sides still disagree about what Madison County's role should be in the health care business. Attorneys representing the county and a state agency agreed Wednesday to a plan to replace Madison County's two tax-supported care homes with a private home, but opponents fighting to keep the two homes open criticized the plan Thursday. "The plan, as it exists now, is not very good," said Debbie Groeteka of Collinsville, a cochair of the County Homes Action Committee. "But I'm hopeful it shows there's an opportunity to develop something better than what's been on the table."

Corinne Wood, but more important, she said Thursday, is that her two youngest children continue to be "wowed." "Last year they said, 'It's awesome. Can we go back next year?' " Wood said. "We're very excited to be back in Alton and to drive up the River Road to Grafton." Three members of Wood's family stopped Thursday at the Franklin House, 202 State St., in Alton, then cruised up the Great River Road. The excursion was part of her 15-stop, 800-mile "1999 Illinois Main Street Summer Tour" motor home trip to towns designated as Main Street communities. Speaking to an assemblage of mayors, aldermen, bankers, a state senator and economic development officials, Wood praised the "partnerships" of local governments and businesses in redeveloping their downtown "Main Streets." "When we talk about Main Street Illinois, we talk about partnerships," she said. "You have the support of the state Legislature, the support of mayors and (governing) boards and business leaders" in revitalizing Downtown. "From community to community, I've seen the success of the program, not because it was dictated from some bureaucrat in Springfield. It's your vision in Downtown, your sweat equity."

Chapter Three
A room with a view of slate coloured clouds, contrasting with the bright yellow curtains. A drip pumps liquid into my veins via thin tubes, my skin looking as plastic as a doll. Mum sits straight backed in the wicker chair, by the head of my bed, staring at the door. I roll over to my side and stare at Him. "He's rather handsome, isn't he?" Mum remarks, I glance over my shoulder and nod. In the plastic box, he begins rocking side to side, His eyes squeezing together before wailing. "Are you going to get him?"
"Hmm," I hum, propping myself up onto my elbow. I force myself out of bed, my pyjamas feeling heavy and uncomfortable, I step towards the cot, He wriggles around on the spot, His face creased up together. I marvel at His little self. Not for the first time in the past eight months, I wonder about the future, how am I going to support this baby? What if I can't handle it, what if He won't love me, if we can't bond like those stupid leaflets say should happen? What if I can't love Him, why don't I have that natural maternal kick mothers apparently should have? What is wrong with me?
"Kerry?" Mum snaps me out of my trance, "Are you going to get him - would you like some help?"
My head shakes numbly. Shaking, my arms reach out and my hands grasp Him beneath His armpits pulling Him up before me. He wears a pale blue baby-grow with a matching hat. He bawls, turning His face pink and soaking His face. His hands are in tiny fists, shaking. Is He angry? Mum says something, I can't understand her, it's all fussy like a bad radio connection. She walks around the single hospital bed and takes Him away from me, cooing him to sleep. That's what I'm supposed to be doing - what's wrong with me? I step back and sit on the bed, my hands on my lap, staring at a random patch on the wall. You're just a bad mother, just like he said you'd be.
The baby stops crying, mum says that He'll need feeding soon. She puts the baby back down into the cot, placing a cream cotton blanket over His little body. Then, she sits down next to me, claims my hands and brings them to her. "Honey," she starts. "You're going to have to get a hold of yourself. If not for you, then for that little boy, right there," she nods to the cot. I don't answer, nor do I look at Him, I just stare out of the window.
Someone knocks on the door and comes in, "Hey," Eva says, "How are you all?"
Mum gets up and embraces her as she walks to us. She whispers something to Eva, who hums in response. Mum says something to me, I can't hear though; my ears are filled with that annoying static you get after a concert or something. The stiff mattress lifts a little as Eva sits next to me. "What's up, Chick?" she asks in a soothing voice, unlike Mum, she doesn't take my hands, she just sits next to me, allowing my own space. Unable to speak, I shrug my shoulder, not looking at anything in particular.
Eva coughs, as if trying to break the tension in the air. "Have you thought about what you're going to call him?"
"No," my voice cracks from lack of use. My vision blurs blinding me, tears sprint down my cheeks. Eva shuffles up to me, cradling me with her skinny arms wrapped tightly around my shoulders. "Hey hey hey, c'mon, Kerry, calm down." She rocks me like a baby. "Ian said he'll come and visit tomorrow after school. I think Mum's gunna stay the night and bring us here tomorrow. That all right?" she asks, I nod, my head resting against her shoulder with tears drying like little snail tracks down my cheeks.
We sit in near silence for half an hour or so. "Eva," I start, pulling away, she hums. "What am I going to do?"
Her brows knot together, her head tilting to the side. "What do you mean?"
"How am I going to bring up a baby on my own - Dad isn't going to help, he defiantly won't let me move back."
"What? Of course he will!" she objects fiercely.
I smile sadly, "No - no, he won't. He said..." I gulp down a fresh load of tears. "He said I can't go back, unless - unless I give the baby up. No - no, let me speak, Eva. He - He was going to kick me out when I found out I was - you know. He wanted me to have an abortion, that's when he and Mum started to argue, because of the 'Kerry situation.' Ha!" I look over at Him in the cot, sleeping peacefully. You can't give him up, even though you don't even love him. Where is your mothering spirit? Dad was right, you always were going to be an awful mother - a child bringing up a child, this isn't the Middle Ages anymore. A spiteful little voice whispers in my head, echoing around from side to side.
"Kerry?" Eva says softly, drawing me away from my thoughts. "What's the matter? Mum says you haven't really, I don't know bonded yet..." I say nothing, thinking of the moment where I cried with Him in my arms. They were not joyful tears, though. The midwife looked concerned; I don't know what it was though, something about him settled uneasy in my stomach. "Kerry?"
"What?" I snap.
She raises a brow, "I said do you want me to stay the night? I can you know. I'm ahead with all the schoolwork, anyways."
"Would you do that?" I feel myself welling up again. She smiles, "'Course I will, you're my sister, it's what we do."
"Thanks, Eva." I breath before pulling her into a tight hug, she mutters a quiet, it's all right and hugs back. He wakes up and wails.

Population Healthcare: Strategies to Survive a Brave, New Value-Based World
Dr. Jonathan Burroughs
Population health is not possible in a discounted fee-for-service world, and the significant healthcare business challenge is how to transition from fee-for-service to risk-based capitation in a sustainable way. The following represents an outline for how this transition can be staged so that early steps exploit the benefits of fee-for-service while the latter ones exploit a more capitated model:

How to Avoid a Clinical Fair Hearing
Dr. Jonathan Burroughs
Not too long ago, I had the sad task of testifying at a civil litigation and a judicial hearing for two physicians who had been suspended from their respective medical staffs. In both cases, the suspensions and resultant procedural rights were avoidable because proactive communication and management did not effectively take place. Such events should be rare and most medical staffs can easily avoid them by focusing on preventive actions and addressing potential performance issues early in a supportive and assertive manner.

The Regulatory Challenges Facing E-Health
Dr. Jonathan Burroughs
Regulatory hurdles prevent more hospitals from using e-health to its full potential. Federal and state policies and regulations on care rendered via technology from a remote site spin a tangled web for providers either engaged in e-health or who want to be. A February 2014 article in Health Affairs found strong associations between state policies and hospitals' adoption of e-health, also known as tele-health or telemedicine.

Strategies for Managing Alarm Fatigue on the Floor
Dr. Jonathan Burroughs
Alarm fatigue has moved to the forefront of hazards on the hospital floor. Nursing staff gets bombarded by hundreds or thousands of beeps, rings, whistles and pings emanating from bedside devices in a shift, and it can be difficult for them to distinguish the critical from the routine. An analysis of hospital alarms at Johns Hopkins Hospital counted a total of 59,000 alarms over a 12-day observation period, an average of 350 alarms per patient per day.1

Healthcare: Five Steps to Reform

When Congress recessed and members returned to their districts, they mostly heard, "Keep your hands off my healthcare!" In light of the government's recent inability to successfully establish, operate and pay auto dealers accurately and on time in a straightforward and seemingly simple process (cash for clunkers), what can we expect from a government bureaucracy charged with operating an extremely complex healthcare system that is neither straightforward nor simple?

Read an Excerpt
Marshall Chisholm was no carpenter. He was learning that the hard way, he thought. He put down his hammer for the day and turned to gaze out at the Montana landscape through what would one day be his finished bay window.
While he spent most of his days on the back of a horse herding cattle, he'd fallen in love with this house the moment he'd seen it. Not that there was anything special about itor even the view. The house was a twostory farmhouse that had been built in the late 1930s. But it had good bones, as they say, and it had spoken to him the moment he'd walked in. Not that he would ever admit that.
There was something about the place that appealed to him even though it had been vacant for many years. He'd known it would take a lot of work, but he'd been eager to get started on it.
Along with the house, Marshall liked the view of the rolling prairie. It stretched out across this vast part of Montana as if endless. Out here, he felt on top of the world. Through every window he could see to the horizon with nothing to break that view on three sides but sagebrush and Black Angus cattlehis family's cattle.
The Chisholm Cattle Company ran more head of cattle than any other in the state and that took a lot of country. He also liked that as far as he could see, this was Chisholm land, most of it running to the horizon.
On the fourth side, the side this upstairs bedroom window faced, there were rolling grain fields and pasture, with only one structure on the horizon.
Marshall squinted as he noticed something different about the old threestory mansion in the distance. He'd looked at it many times since moving into this house. But this time he saw something odd.
Someone was over there.
That was such a rare occurrence that he picked up the binoculars he kept by the window and, peering through them, brought the huge mansion into focus.
He'd heard there had once been a small settlement around the mansion called Wellington, but all the other buildings had been gone for years. The only structure that remained was the monster of a mansion, or Wellington Manor as the locals called it.
The massive, old place must have dwarfed the other buildings that had been there years before and would have been ostentatious even in these times, let alone a hundred years ago. He'd heard stories for years about the family and the house, though he'd never believed them. People liked to think that old places had ghosts.
The last resident of Wellington Manor had died a year ago, an old spinster niece of the original owner, Jedidiah Wellington. Marshall had heard the place was tied up in an estate.
He frowned as he noticed there was a small red sports car parked under the cottonwood trees that flanked the house. The cottonwoods were fed by a small springfed creek that ended in a pond at the end of the row of trees. Marshall liked to swim in the pond since it was halfway between his house and the mansion.
As he scanned the scene, he saw that there was also a darkcolored large SUV parked behind the sports car.
How odd, he thought as he lowered the binoculars. Was it possible someone had bought the place? Or could it be squatters? His father had told him that drug dealers coming out of Canada would often stay in abandoned farmhouses, but he'd never seen anyone around Wellington Manor in the past year since it had been empty. The Canadian border was only about thirty miles away. The closest town to the south, Whitehorse, was another twenty miles. So the dirt road up to this part of the county didn't get a lot of trafficlet alone tourists. He supposed it could be drug runners.
Marshall took one more look through the binoculars and saw yet another vehicle coming up the long treelined drive to the mansion, this one a small white SUV.
He didn't know anyone who'd even been inside the mansion. Apparently Jedidiah Wellington and his family kept to themselves, and so had the oldmaid niece who'd been the last one to live there.
His curiosity piqued and tired of carpentry work for the day, Marshall decided to saddle up and ride over to see what was going on.
Alexa Cross pulled up to the monstrous house with growing unease. The house looked like a hotel, looming three stories up with wings off four sidesnot what she'd expected at all. When her brother had told her at the wedding that he and his new bride were remodeling her family's old house in Montana, she'd pictured something smaller, set in the mountains with lots of rock and wood. Not this ugly monstrosity.
As she stared at the house, she thought of his recent call saying he needed her to come out for a visit. She'd heard something in his voice that had scared her.
"What's wrong? Is it Sierra?"
"No," Landon had said, clearly irritated. "My wife's fine. We 're fine."
Alexa wished now she'd never voiced her misgivings about her brother's hasty marriage. But she couldn't help worrying that he'd made a mistake and was now realizing it.
Both university students, Landon and Sierra had met while working in Yellowstone Park for the summer and had fallen in love. Alexa hadn't even gotten a chance to meet Sierra before the wedding held at the old hotel at Mammoth Hot Springs until the day before the ceremony.
Sierra Wellington wasn't the woman Alexa would have chosen for her brother, but she'd seen at once what had attracted Landon to the petite, pretty blonde. Landon, like Alexa, had taken after their mother. He had the curly, dark hair, the dark eyes and olive skin of what was rumored to be fortunetelling, gypsy ancestors.
The contrast between Landon and Sierra, Alexa was sure, had been part of their attraction for each other. That and a common denominator called Montana. Both had a tie to the state. Landon's father had allegedly been born hereat least that was what their mother had told them. Neither Alexa nor Landon had ever met the man. Nor had their mother apparently bothered to get the man's last name at the time of Landon's conception.
Sierra's roots ran deeper in Montana, with several generations of Montanans and a family house that still stood in what had been a town named after her greatgreatgrandfather.
"It's this house," her brother had said on the phone. "There's something wrong with it." When Landon had told her about the idea he and Sierra had to turn the mansion she'd inherited into a bedandbreakfast, Alexa hadn't shared their enthusiasm.
"You mean structurally?" she'd asked, relieved it was nothing more earthshattering than a construction problem. Neither her brother nor his wife knew anything about running a bedandbreakfast, and Alexa questioned the feasibility when the closest town was Whitehorseapparently a small western town with a declining population. Not to mention that this wideopen prairie part of Montana wasn't the one most tourists came to see.
She'd kept her reservations about their plan to herself though, fearing alienating her brother, who seemed as excited about the prospect as his wife.
"I know this is asking a lot, but I need you to come out here," Landon had said. "I want you to see the house and tell me what you think. What do you say, sis?"
What could she say? He was her only family, since their mother had died a year ago. She would do anything for him and he knew it. Also she felt honored that he wanted her opinion.
"I'll drive out this weekend." It was a tenhour drive from Spokane, Washington, where she lived and worked as a reporter. She could get a few days off from the newspaper without any trouble, and she hadn't seen her brother since the wedding and was worried about him.
"It might take more than a weekend," Landon had said, adding, "It's a big house."
The mansion was indeed big, she thought as she looked up at it. Big and ugly as if built by someone who wanted not to just impress but shock. There was nothing engaging about the structure. All she could hope was that it was more hospitable inside, since she didn't like old houses. As she stared at it, she feared coming here might have been a terrible mistake.
Alexa climbed out of her white SUV as the front door opened and her brother, Landon, came out to her. He looked so happy to see her that she shoved aside her misgivings.
"It is wonderful to see you," he said as he hugged her tightly. "Thank you so much for coming."
She drew back to study him, thinking how much she loved him. Sometimes she forgot how handsome and sweet he was. Their mother had called him her "little prince." Both of them had adored Landon, but somehow he hadn't grown up spoiled.
If anything, he was too generous with his money and his love, Alexa thought, as Sierra appeared in the wide doorway.
"Welcome to Wellington Manor," Sierra said with a grand gesture. "That's what the locals call it and I think it fits the place. You're early. Supper's not quite ready. The others are either napping or in town for supplies but should be back any minute."
"The others?" Alexa asked her brother.
"We have friends helping get the house ready for guests," Landon said as he reached into the back of her vehicle for her suitcase. "Only one suitcase?" He looked disappointed as he hooked the strap of her bag over one shoulder.
"I travel light," she said with a smile and reluctantly let him lead her toward the mansion. She could feel tension between her brother and his new wife and suspected it hadn't been Sierra's idea to invite her to come for a stay.
She wondered whose idea it had been to have these friends help get the house ready for guests; after all Sierra and Landon had given up their honeymoon to come here and get started on the bedandbreakfast.
As they walked toward the front entry, Alexa noticed something that hadn't registered minutes before. Her brother was rubbing his left arm.
"Did you hurt yourself?" she asked and saw him glance toward his wife before he answered.
"Just me being clumsy." He put his other arm around Alexa and smiled at his wife in the doorway. Sierra smiled back and disappeared into the house, leaving
Alexa with the distinct impression that her brother was hiding something for Sierra's sake.
The moment she stepped into the house, she felt the cold. It instantly crept into her bones and made her shiver.
"It's a bit drafty," Sierra said, no doubt having witnessed Alexa's reaction.
She could see that both Sierra and Landon were defensive about the house. She fought not to show the effect it was having on her. The mansion had once been opulent, from the marble foyer to the huge sunken living room with its massive stone fireplace to the ornate stairway that swept upward to the floors above. Hallways ran from the living area like spider legs, disappearing in the dim light.
"Isn't it beautiful," Sierra gushed. "I just love it. Can't you see it as a bedandbreakfast? Wait until you see the rest of it."
Alexa smiled at her sisterinlaw's enthusiasm. The house had recently been cleaned but there was still a musty smell as if the rooms had been closed upeven though someone had been living here. Only a little light bled through the high leadedstainedglass windows. Heavy velvet curtains hung next to the lower windows and while the glass had been recently cleaned, even the summer sun seemed to be having a hard time getting through.
"I'm sure you're tired after your long drive," her brother said, apparently wanting to talk to her alone. "Why don't I show you to your room."
"Oh, you'll want a tour first," Sierra said, sounding both surprised and annoyed at her husband's suggestion.
"I would love one later," Alexa said quickly. "Landon's right. I would like to freshen up first."
Sierra looked disappointed. "I've just been so excited to show you the house. My greatgreatgrandfather designed it, you know." She gave a little pout but said, "I guess I'll see how supper is coming instead. I think I hear the others pulling in now."
"I'd love to see it after we eat, thank you," Alexa said, relieved her sisterinlaw hadn't insisted. She sensed Landon's need to talk to her, and whatever this was about, he hadn't wanted Sierra to hear.
He was quiet as he led her upstairs through what seemed like a maze of hallways before stopping at an end room. Opening the door, he stepped back to let her enter.
"Sierra got the room ready for you," he said, pride in his voice.
Alexa was reminded how much her brother loved his wife and how careful she had to be around Sierra so she didn't hurt his feelings. She knew she wasn't being fair. She barely knew the woman and chastised herself for not giving Sierra more of a chance.
"It's beautiful," she said as she entered the room. And it was.
The wood floors were buffed to a golden shine, and the huge canopy bed was adorned in white linens. An array of pillows were piled against the carved wooden headboard. An antique vanity stood against one wall, with two matching highboys and a loveseat and overstuffed chair on the other.
"The house came filled with furniture," Landon said. "There is even more up on the third floor. The last resident used that floor mostly for storage. The place really is huge, isn't it?"
He sounded nervous and while she was anxious to know why he'd gotten her here, she warned herself not to push.
"Sierra chose this room because of the view and the peace and quiet," Landon said. "It's the farthest from where the construction work is going on. We're remodeling some of the lower rooms that were built as servants' quarters."
"The view is wonderful," Alexa said as she stepped through the open French doors onto a small balcony. The land seemed vast and endlessjust like the clear blue sky overhead. She'd never been to Montana before, but all the stories she'd heard about it seemed to be true. It really was amazing country. She could imagine what it must have been like when thousands of buffalo roamed it.

Anyone else heard this? BTW, just bought a BG85C from the same dealer even though the sign said BG85D. I was happy to still get the C though.

This little box of treasures contains 5 high performing, comfortable and ultra soft nappies, along with a useful nighttime booster that will turn your Minkee into a great 'through the night' nappy. The Minkee is a microfibre nappy that gives great flexibility and excellent performance.
It's a clever hybrid design, bringing together the benefits of an easy to use all-in-one together with the fast drying, improved adjustable fit that a 2-part system is famous for. The Minkee is a fast wicking nappy that will soak up wetness quickly and efficiently. Its micro polyester construction makes it incredibly soft, with a luxurious feel against baby's skin, and the best thing is that because it's microfibre it will stay that way even after repeated washes.

Manchester City have decided not to appeal against Samir Nasri's controversial sending-off at Norwich over the weekend. The France forward was dismissed in the first half of the champions' 4-3 Barclays Premier League win at Carrow Road for an alleged headbutt at Sebastien Bassong. Manager Roberto Mancini indicated after the game on Saturday that an appeal would be lodged but, after further thought, the club have now announced there will not be a challenge. A statement from the club read: "The Football Association has confirmed that Samir Nasri will serve a three-match suspension, following his red card during the 4-3 win at Norwich on Saturday. Nasri will now miss the New Year's Day visit from Stoke City , the FA Cup tie with Watford (January 5) and the trip to Arsenal on January 13." Nasri reacted angrily to a challenge from Bassong in a manner that was seen as violent conduct. Mancini maintains the dismissal was harsh but conceded, as he met the media early on Monday to previ...

To compare differences among the Medieval Warm Period (MWP), Little Ice Age (LIA), and 20th century global warming (20CW), six sets of transient and equilibrium simulations were generated using the climate system model FGOALS_gl. This model was developed by the State Key Laboratory of Numerical Modeling for Atmospheric Sciences and Geophysical Fluid Dynamics, Institute of Atmospheric Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences. The results indicate that MWP warming is evident on a global scale, except for at mid-latitudes of the North Pacific. However, the magnitude of the warming is weaker than that in the 20th century. The warming in the high latitudes of the Northern Hemisphere is stronger than that in the Southern Hemisphere. The LIA cooling is also evident on a global scale, with a strong cooling over the high Eurasian continent, while the cooling center is over the Arctic domain. Both the MWP and the 20CW experiments exhibit the strongest warming anomalies in the middle troposphere around 200–300 hPa, but the cooling center of the LIA experiment is seen in the polar surface of the Northern Hemisphere. A comparison of model simulation against the reconstruction indicates that model's performance in simulating the surface air temperature changes during the warm periods is better than that during the cold periods. The consistencies between model and reconstruction in lower latitudes are better than those in high latitudes. Comparison of the inter-annual variability mode of East Asian summer monsoon (EASM) rainfall during the MWP, LIA and 20CW reveals a similar rainfall anomalies pattern. However, the time spectra of the principal component during the three typical periods of the last millennium are different, and the quasi-biannual oscillation is more evident during the two warm periods. At a centennial time scale, the external mode of the EASM variability driven by the changes of effective solar radiation is determined by the changes of large scale land-sea thermal contrast. The rainfall anomalies over the east of 110°E exhibit a meridional homogeneous change pattern, which is different from the meridional out-of-phase change of rainfall anomalies associated with the internal mode.

My brother, his girlfriend and I spent 4 days in London, so we stayed at Katharina's place for 3 nights. We really enjoyed our stay at her place which was about 30 minutes from central London. Trains run quite often. Both, Katharina and her husband, are very nice and friendly people, who tried to do their best to make our stay as comfortable as possible. They gave us a lot of advice, offered us their help and maps. The room was very nice as well. It was clean and cosy just like the rest of the flat. They even offered us some space in their fridge. I would definitely recommend Katharina's place to stay at. Thank you for everything.
We had a great time, the accomodation was just fine and very conveniently located. Thank you very much.
The room is really big, there's enough space for at least 2 people. Kingston is a very nice area and you can easily and quickly get to the city centre of London. Katharina answered all my questions and takes care of her guests. So thanks Katharina for some great days in your cosy flat :)
great hosts, very friendly and accomdative. thanks katharina and anas for a wonderful stay!

"Journey of Blind Faith" will transport you into the heart of Vietnam in the 1960s, where you will meet Lan, a young orphan girl who survives abandonment, abuse, homelessness, and several near death encounters. Miraculously, she escapes the Communist takeover in 1975 but can never rid herself of the longing to know the fate of her family-the family that abandoned her to the streets of Saigon. Believing in hope when there was no hope, trusting in God regardless of impossible odds, Lan takes this dangerous journey of faith back into Communist South Vietnam, leaving her husband and children behind, to obey the call on her life: "Go Find." Based on the true story of Pam Erhart, "Journey of Blind Faith" will draw you in with its simplicity, shock you with its honesty, and inspire you with its message: Faith is not believing God can, it is knowing He will. Pamela Erhart is an author and a popular speaker at Christian Woman's Conferences, Aglow International and churches throughout Florida and the southern United States. Her winning short story "First Christmas" was published in 2005 in a book titled, "I Will Be Home for Christmas" by Xulon Press. Pam also published an article in tribute to her Dad, Russell Dempsey, on Father's Day of 2002 in the Palm Beach Post. She is finishing her first novel. She enjoys life and colors her world with opportunities and thrives on encouraging people through inspired stories. Pamela holds a degree in retailing, a certified substitute teacher, real estate agent, has studied marketing and banking, and has taught ballet dancing. Pamela lives in Florida with her husband of 25 years, John Erhart, a former engineer at Pratt and Whitney. She is a mother of threechildren: Christine, Jason and Mark.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
My tenants ask to put up a temperate large pool (the kind adults can get in) in the fence back yard. And I said YES. If anyone from this tenants or his guests or even other people sneak into it, and accident happens, do I have liability?
Without knowing more its hard to say. There may be some liability if you knew about any dangerous conditions and tolerated them. This is a fact issue and every one is different. This why we have insurance to protect against these issues.Ask a similar question
You could possibly be responsible if the pool fence does not meet local code. You could also be responsible if you were aware of a dangerous condition (or should have been aware...) that causes an injury. You should consult your local building code to see what kind of ordinances apply to above-ground pools, if any.
This answer is not intended to be used as actual and specific legal advice, and this answer is not intended to create an attorney-client relationship. I am happy to provide basic answers and to speak in terms of generalities, but I am not intending to give specific advice that could be construed as forming an attorney client relationship. I offer free consultations, and I am always happy to speak to potential clients personally about their legal questions. Thank you and good luck!Ask a similar question

There's an invisible threat to children's health happening at U.S. schools every day. Air monitoring typically finds elevated levels of toxins during school pick-up times as parents idle their cars waiting for their kids. We've created this short video to help spread the message and help more schools go idle-free. Please watch, take the pledge to stop idling, and share the #iturnitoff movement in your school community.
Like most good innovations, Idle Smart's automated idling management solution for trucks began with someone thinking, there's got to be a better way. In this case, that person was a truck mechanic in Kansas, who realized a lot of the problems he was fixing were caused by the amount of idling trucks were doing while on the job. Functions like keeping cabin temperatures comfortable for drivers overnight or engines from freezing in cold weather are necessary to keeping trucks on the road, but idling engines cause wear and tear — and costs money in fuel and maintenance. Learn more about this smart solutions to truck riding…
Utah is experiencing some of its worst measures of air quality in years due in large part to vehicle idling. In order to reach new drivers with the anti-idling message and get them involved in creating change, Utah State University professors started a popular poster contest program that is educating teens, spreading awareness and teaching real-world marketing skills in the process.
Are you ready to take action against vehicle idling? Whether you want to educate drivers in your neighborhood or launch your own idling reduction campaign, we just launched a range of resources and toolkits anyone can download and order on demand. It's your turn to turn it off and pass it on.
Laws against idling vehicles are on the books across the country, but in many places, including New York City, they aren't heavily enforced. Two New York City Council members are hoping to change that by introducing a bill on Wednesday that will reward citizens for reporting idling violators. If adopted, citizens could upload videos of idling vehicles to a city website and receive a payment if fines are collected.
Students often seek us out for information about sustainability issues, and helping these young activists is one of the most satisfying things about our work. A recent example is Jack Carnahan, a senior from Champlain Valley Union High School in Hinesburg, Vermont, who contacted us asking for help on an issue that we care deeply about: vehicle idling.
We've been known to get more than a little irked when we notice people idling their vehicles unnecessarily, like at drive-thrus or school pick-ups. It wastes gas, it pollutes the air, it stinks and it's just, well, unnecessary. But some drivers get a free idling pass, right? Don't refrigerated trucks, utility vehicles, safety and emergency vehicles and long-haul trucks often need to keep their engines running to power auxiliary functions? Yes, and no. Here, we explain.
In recent years, we've learned about the dangers of cell phone use while driving. It makes sense that distracted driving would lead to more accidents, but do cell phones also lead drivers to absentmindedly idle when their vehicles are stopped?
Most people don't realize how much gas they're wasting by idling their cars. But once they learn the facts about idling, they're usually more than willing to change their behavior. With that in mind, we've put together seven steps you can take to raise awareness about this important issue. Help us make turning off your engine rather than idling as commonplace as wearing your seat belt!
"Excuse me for bothering you… but are you aware that it's against the law to idle your car engine in NYC for more than 3 minutes?"
Those are the words George Pakenham, a New Yorker who works in finance, has used to start thousands of discussions though car windows on the streets of Manhattan. What started as an impulsive act on his Upper East Side block in 2005 evolved into a full-blown citizen activism campaign that went all the way to City Hall and is still going strong. We caught up with George to find out more about his vigilante approach to environmental justice and "Idle Threat: Man on Emission," the award-winning documentary he made about it.

Any scone dough can be used, if you have a favourite, but do leave the sugar in. With both the tomato paste & Vegemite versions it's good to have a little sweetness in the dough. Vegemite has a love/hate following, but we love it here, it's an Aussie thing right?
Pizza Scrolls
Makes approx 2 dozen, can be frozen for 2 weeks once cooked.
Scone dough
3 cups self raising flour
1 tblspn sugar
1 tspn salt
60g butter or margarine (cold)
1 1/4 cups milk (approx)
Tomato paste
diced ham
finely diced onion
grated cheese
Italian dried herbs.
Optional fillings - crushed pineapple, diced capsicum, diced salami, fresh herbs etc.
Preheat oven to 180c, grease 2 large baking trays.
Sift flour & salt into a bowl. Add sugar. Rub in butter until mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Add enough milk to form a soft dough. Knead out on a floured board and roll out to form a large rectangle approx 5mm thick.
Spread dough with a thin layer of tomato paste, leave a little around the edges bare, to allow for spread when you roll. Sprinkle with other fillings of your choice, finish with a good layer of grated cheese.
Roll dough up at long side to form a long sausage shape. I tend to stretch out the middle a bit to make uniform size rolls. Slice into rounds approx 4cm thick & place scrolls flat side down onto baking trays.
You can brush with extra milk, but they brown & rise evenly without it.
Bake at 180c for 15 - 20 mins until they look like mine (helpful aren't I).
For Cheese & Vegemite scrolls, roll out the same way. You need to get the right ratio of Vegemite & cheese, so I usually put a thin spread of Vegemite on the dough & a lot of grated cheese.
So they look like this when they're cooked. (only for the kids I know).
Variations - you can make sweet versions with the dough, use a tin of Nestle Topnfill to make caramel scrolls, sprinkle a little brown sugar & cinnamon on top before you put them in the oven, Jam scrolls, Nutella & crushed nuts etc. Just a hint though if you make sweet ones, use baking paper on your trays as they tend to stick.
Have fun,
