School governors
What governors do
Governors work closely with the headteacher and other members of school staff.
The headteacher is responsible for the day to day running of the school and all operational matters. The school's governors have a strategic role, but hold the headteacher to account for how they run the school.
School governors have three core strategic functions:
- ensuring clarity of vision, ethos and strategic direction
- holding the headteacher to account for the educational performance of the school and its pupils, and the performance management of staff
- overseeing the financial performance of the school and making sure its money is well spent
In practice this involves attending meetings of the full governing body and its committees, asking questions and visiting the school. You may get involved in:
- headteacher performance management and recruitment
- analysis of performance data
- approval of policies
- admissions (not all schools)
- school improvement matters such as the quality of teaching and raising attainment
- ensuring that the needs of children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) are met
Further information
- the work is voluntary, takes enthusiasm and some of your spare time
- you will learn new skills and know that you are making a real contribution to our local community
- you don't have to know everything from the start – be prepared to build up your knowledge over a period of time
- you will be expected to attend appropriate free training offered by the Local Authority – usually held in the evenings but some daytime training is offered
- free advice and support is available

Arsenal fans are sharing a gag about how the Highbury squirrel has more Champions League experience than Tottenham, but their laugh is nervous. Spurs travel to Highbury this afternoon with the chance to shatter their rivals' hopes of qualification for next season's competition through the Premiership.
For all the grand memories of a Champions League campaign that has brought victories over Real Madrid, Juventus and, in the semi-final first leg on Wednesday, Villarreal, there is a real chance that next season could be spent enduring chants of "Arsenal: watching EastEnders" while Tottenham large it up in Europe. It is a nerve-shredding time even for veteran Gunners who have grown used to their north London primacy.
"I don't know if it's ideal to be playing Tottenham slap-bang in the middle of two legs against Villarreal," said Robert Pires. "What's for sure is that this is a very important week for Arsenal; the most important since I've been here. We're going to fight right to the end to get that ticket to next season's Champions League."
Form and history would suggest that Arsenal have only to turn up to win. It is 13 years since Spurs prevailed at Highbury and the FA Cup holders have put together a six-game winning sequence in all competitions at their home. But such statistics do not do justice to a Tottenham team that has refused to relinquish its top-four position in five months.
"Pressure will certainly be there," said Pires. "Right at the moment Tottenham are four points in front of Arsenal. That means they've definitely progressed, and every time we play them we get the impression that their players are really worked up. The supporters hate each other and we know we can't afford any mistakes. For both sets of fans this is the match that cannot be lost."
Though Pires refuses to countenance the suggestion of failure - and overall victory in this season's European Cup would displace Spurs from the next campaign regardless of Premiership finishes - the perception has been that today's game will influence his future and that of Thierry Henry. Why, after all, would these World Cup winners want to return to a team that has only the Uefa Cup to play for?
"I haven't made any decisions yet and I don't think Thierry has either," said Pires, who has contract offers from numerous European clubs, most notably Villarreal. "Before thinking about a Pires or an Henry, I think we should remain truly concentrated on our task. It's not about thinking where Arsenal will be in July, you can't, it's about remaining focused on this season, which might end soon."
Pires admits that the experience of Patrick Vieira, who quit Arsenal for Juventus last year, gives him food for thought. "Looking at what's happened to Patrick since he left doesn't scare me but it gives me something to think about - a deeper reflection," said Pires. "For Patrick it has been a bit of a delicate season with Juventus, even if they are going to be champions of Italy, a club of that stature has to win the Champions League."
Juventus's exit to Arsenal included the sliding tackle that saw Pires dispossess Vieira on the way to Cesc Fabregas's opening goal in the quarter-final. It was a shock even for Pires. "That did make me happy because it was the pupil copying his master," he remembered. "Patrick was the sliding-tackle specialist and, sincerely, I was surprised that I did that. I've been here six years and I honestly think that was the first time I'd tackled like that."
Pires thinks Arsenal are "scaring teams" in Europe this season. Even with so much to play for, it is unlikely Spurs will be cowed today.

Mathews to Charles, OUT, West Indies have lost Charles! Short and he went after it, made a bit of room and tried to slap it back over the bowler's head but totally mistimed, lobbed up towards mid-off and was an easy catch in the end
J Charles c Kulasekara b Mathews 0 (3m 5b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0.00
BAW Mendis to Gayle, OUT, Gayle's trapped in front, this went straight on, Gayle was caught in front again, rocked forward but not much to defend but played a little outside the line to that, struck him in line with middle and leg and Taufel had no doubt this time, was flatter and straighter this time
CH Gayle lbw b BAW Mendis 3 (26m 16b 0x4 0x6) SR: 18.75
BAW Mendis to Bravo, OUT, forward around off stump, big cry for leg before, was it pad first? Yes says the umpire and Bravo has to go. He was caught around the knee roll playing forward around off stump, I had doubt of whether he was in line and especially whether there was bat involved but umpire Taufel thought both favoured the bowler and that it wasn't too high either, another big blow
DJ Bravo lbw b BAW Mendis 19 (29m 19b 0x4 1x6) SR: 100.00
BAW Mendis to Pollard, OUT, outside off, cut to point and taken on the juggle spilled it above his head to start with but managed to turn and grab it on the rebound. Another big hitter falls to spin, Pollard was reaching out to cut a quite wide back of a length ball, got it in the air above the head of the fielder who reached up with two hands, parried the chance before turning and grabbing with two hands
KA Pollard c Dananjaya b BAW Mendis 2 (6m 4b 0x4 0x6) SR: 50.00
BAW Mendis to Russell, OUT, swept off the stumps first ball, missed and given out lbw looked pretty straight, a dangerous shot first up and paid the price, I think Taufel has got this decision right. The batsman was late on the stroke and caught on the knee roll
AD Russell lbw b BAW Mendis 0 (2m 1b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0.00
Dananjaya to Samuels, OUT, not any more, pulled down midwicket's throat it was hit hard and flat and straight to the fielder. Went back to try and find the leg side stands but didn't get the elevation and it was straight to the fielder who took it well and did a little Gayle-style dance
MN Samuels c BMAJ Mendis b Dananjaya 78 (70m 56b 3x4 6x6) SR: 139.28

Norida~ Changes & New Beginnings; A Shocking ArrivalMature
Things began to return to normal― well, as normal as things could get. Few stragglers came along that wanted to join the Hawks, which was handled by Jem and Griever. Speaking of those two, it was more apparent that they enjoyed each other's company of late.
Not everything was so good, though. Kate was constantly absent, as if it plagued her to be near our re-established camp, as well as the new one that was being constructed. Jem and Kiara both worried for her, and to be honest, I shared their concern. Kate was our leader. She had given me a chance when I most needed it, and she'd helped me whenever I was in need of assistance. It hurt me to see her so. . . broken. The same went for Kiara, Jem, and Griever. They were the only kinship that I had left. If e'er something were to happen to them. . .
"Norida!" Dreda called, snapping me away from my thoughts. I looked up at her as she stopped in front of me with a nervous-looking man/boy behind her. He looks familiar, I thought. When I raised a brow at her in question, she declared, "Griever stuck me with this nitwit. Said to take him out on patrols so that he could learn his way around the forest. You're coming with me."
Sighing, I stood up, then bent to grab my sword. "Why do I always get stuck with the newbies?" I muttered under my breath.
Dreda nudged me hard in the side. "I heard that."
We set out when the sun was in the middle of the sky, making rounds between the two camps and checking the perimeters. After some time, we stopped in a small clearing to rest for moment. While we rested, Dreda and I explained the approximate layout of the infamous Night Hawks' camp. I did most of the talking, since I was more familiar with these parts of the forest.
After we'd finished, Dreda asked, "By the way, what be your name, boy?"
"Oh, it's Edmond," he said. "Edmond II, as I am named after my father."
"So," Dreda inquired with a sly tone, "are you native to this region?" I gave her a suspicious look and Edmond became nervous, as if there was something he didn't want to say. Dreda caught my expression and shrugged innocently. "What? I'm curious." I rolled my eyes.
Edmond remained silent for a moment, so I said quietly, "You don't have to tell us if you don't want to."
"No, it's not that I don't want to tell you. I'm just not sure where to start."
"Start anywhere," Dreda said.
He nodded, then took a deep breath. "I came from a slightly wealthy family on the outskirts of Nottinghamshire. My mother was admired for how well she could give advice, so people from the area came to us and paid her to give them some guidance on whatever situation they were in. My father was in the sly business of trading goods for profit. Things were alright, until last year, when my older brother and I were drafted into the war. I haven't seen my parent since then. My brother and I were separated when they deported me here to serve under the Marshall."
"And how long ago was this?" I asked.
Edmond looked up at me. "This past Spring. Why?"
That's right, I thought to myself. No wonder he looked so familiar. He fought the Fae with us.
"No reason," I said. We were all quiet for a moment, then I asked, "So you've decided to join the Hawks?"
He nodded. "Aye, and I've no intention of going back to being under the Sheriff's control. I guess, in some way, I wanted a new start. That's why I mustn't fail the Night Hawks."
It was a little while before anyone spoke again. Dreda was the one to finally break the silence. "We should be getting back. They'll be wondering where we are."
"Alright," I agreed. The three of us made one more round about the perimeters of the camps before going back and reporting to Jem.
When we arrived, Jem asked, "Anything out of sorts?"
"Nothing that I could tell," Dreda replied.
Jem nodded approvingly. "Good."
Dreda stood there for a moment, as if hesitating to speak what was on her mind. Then, she suddenly asked, "Has Kate returned yet?"
The question caught Jem by surprise. She was quiet, then sighed and said, "No. Not yet."
"Alright then," Dreda said, then turned and pulled me to the edge of the forest. "I need to speak with you."
"What about?" I asked, following her and stopping.
We sat down on a log that had been set as a bench. Dreda spoke quietly, as if she were about to speak a sacred language. "It's no secret that Kate is torn by her obligations to the Night Hawks and her feelings toward the Marshall."
"Aye. . . ?" I wasn't sure where she was going with this.
"Well, there may be a way to reunite the Hawks and 'Falcons' without a horrid amount of bloodshed." I must've still looked puzzled, so she continued, this time even more quiet. "We must kill the Sheriff."
My eyes widened, but I tried to keep my voice at a low level. "What?!"
She nodded. "Yes. It may be the only way to bring peace to the land, as well as the Night Hawks and the Marshall. Think about it― how else would we be able to establish harmony between rebels and soldiers again?"
I shook my head vigorously. "There is no way that we could do this, lest we be caught and hanged for our crimes!"
"Don't you see, Norida?" she tried to reason. "If the Sheriff is dead, then there will be no one to hang us."
Someone cleared their throat behind us. We both turned at the same time to see who it was.
My breath caught in shock. "No way. . ."

Stock futures were higher, but trimming earlier gains ahead of Wednesday's open despite a cutback in first-quarter GDP growth estimates.
Dow futures were ahead 66 points. Nasdaq 100 futures traded up 20.25 points and S&P 500 futures were 9.5 points higher.
The stock market today opens in search of direction, with only mild losses so far this week. The S&P 500, the Nasdaq and the Dow were down 0.3% through Tuesday's close and sitting at the top of the week's trading range. All three indexes are well below their 50-day moving averages and the market remains in a correction.
Mortgage application activity decreased 3% last week, down for a fourth-straight week as interest rates posted their largest one-week increase since 2011, according to the Mortgage Bankers Association. Refinance applications slowed 5% to the lowest level since November 2011. New purchase applications increased 2%.
Estimates for first-quarter GDP growth were revised lower, to 1.8%, according to the Commerce Department, from a prior estimate of a 2.4% gain. Economists had projected no change for the latest estimate. The GDP price index edged up 1.2%, in line with the 1.1% initial estimate.
Discount store Five Below (FIVE) tumbled 5% in pre-market action after announcing late Thursday it would postpone a secondary stock offering. A company statement cited current capital market conditions. The stock has been fighting to hold support at its 10-week moving average. Shares have been consolidating since March after clearing an IPO base.
Touchpad and computer controller maker Synaptics (SYNA) bolted 13% ahead of the open. The Santa Clara, Calif.-based company late Tuesday raised its revenue outlook for the fiscal fourth quarter, which ends this month. The stock has declined for six straight weeks and is well below the 10-week average.
Leading stocks milled about in a narrowly mixed rage. Valeant Pharmaceuticals (VRX) topped the IBD 50 list with a 2% gain. Its four-week pullback stopped short of a test of 10-week support, ending Tuesday 19% above a flat base buy pint of 71.89.
Overseas, Europe's market leaned firmly higher with the CAC-40 in Paris up 2% and Frankfurt's DAX ahead 1.5% heading toward afternoon trade. In China, Hong Kong's Hang Seng index rebounded 2.4%, while the Shanghai Composite ended 0.4% lower. Tokyo's Nikkei 225 booked a 1% loss.
Gold mining issues and ETFs were taking a pounding in early action as gold futures slumped 3%. Oil was off a fraction, trading above $95 a barrel and up not quite 2% for the week.

Ben excused himself from all the attention and I felt out of place, I walked up the staircase, no one saw me leave, I don't think they even knew I was there to start. It was pretty impressive, I mean I never thought the house would have ten bedrooms, but I was glad at the same time. That meant we didn't have to share rooms, I didn't know how I felt about the whole ending up in the middle of no where idea.
I went over the a window that sat at the end of the corridor, I looked outside and watched as I saw Ben walk over to a pile of rocks, he picked one of them up and dropped it on his foot, but he moved his foot just before it dropped. He glanced round and I felt bad for watching, he picked the rock up again and dropped it from a slightly smaller height. I winced as it landed on his foot but the rock just bounced off, he brought his fist down hard on to another boulder but instead of breaking his hand it just slid against the stone creating a shower of chips and sparks.
He glanced back at the house and began to walk back, I dug the topaz out of my pocket and held it up to the light. It was so beautiful and mystical looking, I smiled slightly, it was kind of like me.
"Hey, Lucinda! Food's ready!" I looked behind me to see Ellie running up the stairs, she came and grabbed my hand grinning from ear to ear.
"Come on! It's getting cold." We ran down the stairs and sat at the table with the others. The food was amazing, and everyone gave compliments to Ellie, I ate a small amount of food not really feeling hungry. Ellie shot me a worried look but no one else seemed to notice, after everyone had finished I offered to help clean up since I hadn't eaten hardly any of the food. The others dispersed and I set to work on cleaning the dishes, Ellie appeared by my elbow taking a towel and drying some of the plates.
"No, let me do that Ellie. You were the one who cooked, you shouldn't have to clean as well." I said in protest.
"Oh no. I don't mind I actually like doing the washing up, it gives me time to think." She paused as if trying to decide what to say next.
"Um, Lucinda. Are you feeling OK? It's just that you didn't eat much at dinner."
"Oh yeah I'm fine. I don't know," I said shrugging, "I guess I lost my appetite somehow" I said laughing.
Ellie smiled and nodded, "Hey I can finish up her Lucinda. Why don't you go outside and see if that helps."
"Thanks Ellie" I said, I walked out of the kitchen and towards the front door. I stepped out side, a gust of wind blew through my hair, causing it to whip round my face. I tucked it behind my ears breathing in the scent of the night air, something knocked into me causing me to fall with a yelp onto the grass.
"Ow! What the-" I stopped and William appeared in front of me, he was looking to the right of him.
"Hey! I'm sorry about that. Are you-" He turned to face me and yelped in surprise falling backwards.
"Hey. That's rude!" I said offended, I began rubbing my behind.
"No... No it's not that- I mean... Look!" He said pointing behind me, I frowned and turned around slowly, huffing.
"Oh My God!" I yelped,
"Wat the...?" I said backing away slowly, in front of me stood another... me, I was- wait no- we were backing away from each other.
"Wat the...?" The other me said just after me. Okay this is way too much for me, I saw the ground rush towards me then... nothing.

Dilemma of the Prince
By: WhiteGloves
Legolas hit the cold ground after being thrown off roughly by his captor. It sent a chilling pain down his already injured arm and he felt his own cold blood seep out of the wound. He was almost ready to succumb into oblivion when the sudden thought of danger aroused him. His shoulders throbbed at the way his hands were tied behind him and felt sick at the dirty cloth that gagged his mouth. He cursed himself again for not being too careful and swore never to disobey his father again if ever he escaped this calamity. It was not in his nature to defy his father's orders but his father had been unreasonable about men. True, Legolas had never met a single man through out his life but the prospect of judging them before he could even come to know them had been his father's bad habit. His father hated men and when Legolas informed him that he would try and bring about peace to his Kingdom and Men, the King was outraged; Legolas, who was stubborn enough when it comes to his judgment, sought the people and landed himself on his current situation.
A captive.
Shaking the slight dizziness that hit him, Legolas tried to focus his attention on his surroundings. The atmosphere around was cold, the elf tried to make out any trees and he realized there was none but large stones around. Loud voices of cheers and laughter erupted around and Legolas forced his head up to see what was happening. From a distance, he could make out a group of men gathered into a single spot that formed a circle. Two men stood still at the heart of the circle, one was tall and silent, the other was stout and was quivering in fear; Legolas suddenly felt apprehensive.
"Kill him." said a voice from the crowd, "He had betrayed you, did he not? So why not kill him?"
"No-!" cried the stout man, terrified, "Don't- Strider! Forgive me! I did not mean to- they threatened me- Please don't kill me!"
The tall man did not move but stared silently at the shaking man before him. Legolas could not make out the expression of the tall man called 'Strider', but even though he did not know him, he found himself placing his faith on the adan and prayed silently.
Another man from the crowd emerged and held out a sword toward Strider. Legolas watched intently as Strider took the sword and held it on his hands, witnessing this, the stout man whimpered and dropped on his knees,
"Don't kill me! I beg you! We are friends! Forgive my sin- do not kill me, Strider!"
"Go!" the crowd jeered, "Kill him already!"
These men are scum, thought Legolas in disgust as he tried to catch Strider's expression, do not let them corrupt your mind!
Strider took his first step with the sword pointed at his victim.
"Strider," cried the man imploringly, "No…"
Legolas drew in a breath… Strider…
Strider swiftly raised his sword and cut the man's head without any sign of hesitation. Legolas was shaken at what had transpired before him and felt his stomach clenched as the crowd jeered once more and laughter boomed in each corner of the stoned wall place.
Legolas' disappointment toward the man he never knew overwhelmed him. His father was right-How can a man be so cruel?
He was abruptly pulled to his feet once again but he gave it no heed, instead he sent a silent prayer for the departed soul.
He then realized that he was being dragged forward to where the killing had occurred and he felt a knot tightening in his stomach. The body of the man was removed but the blood that splattered on the ground remained like a mark and Legolas cursed the place silently. He noticed the bloody sword 'Strider' used in executing the murder lay forgotten on the ground, and his keen eyes looked up expecting to see its wielder around but the man was no where to be seen.
Curse you, the Elf thought contemptuously, I swear you will never be forgiven!


text: From Scout.com Guess all that getting planted into turf caught up with Kiwi. Should have news tomorrow on severity. On Wednesday, defensive end Mathias Kiwanuka left the field after going down with an injury. Kiwanuka was thrown to the ground by his Boston College teammate Jeremy Trueblood during one-on-one blocking drills, and it was obvious from the start that he was injured. While Kiwanuka did come back and finish the session, he was held out today. Now comes word that Kiwanuka will undergo X-rays to determine if there is possible ligament damage to his shoulder. If the X-rays are negative, Kiwanuka will play on Saturday; otherwise, he will not.

I like the story, but what about your data challenges? Is the data already in a format that didn't require any additional ETL or sourcing? Most of the challenges we have are not building dashboards, but bringing the data together in order to build the dashboard. Please elaborate on that part of your process. Thanks
Absolutely agree with Mike. I spend the vast majority of my time getting data from the owners and transforming it into the format Tableau can connect to.
The actual visualization part is easier to create and maintain.
would like to see some more clarity on Health Data Analytics usage and trend. Please post few on this topic.

Here's the second chapter. I'm sorry I didn't update sooner, but I've been busy with my other fan fics and school, so…
Anyways, on with the story (please review!)
Currently listening to: All We Know - Paramore
Chapter 2: Flying with…Jacob?
"You were reading it?" I shrieked. A couple of hushing sounds were heard from people behind me.
"Bella, calm down," Jacob said. "Yes. I was reading it, and I'm sorry." I didn't believe that last part, for he was trying to hide a smile by biting his lip.
"Mhmm," I mumbled.
"Why are you going to Chicago?" Jacob asked trying to change the subject.
"Camp." I answered coldly.
"Awesome. Which one?" That amazed me. Even though I was cold and rude to him, he was still talking to me and had a smile on his face. Some people who were like that could be annoying, but Jacob made me smile back to him.
"Camp Masen," I said, "Have you heard of it?"
"Yeah, I've been there once. A long time ago, though."
"This is my first time there. I've heard it's beautiful."
"Oh, it is." He answered.
And with that, we started talking for a long time about camp and about me, and I wasn't too pleased about that last part, since I hated to be the center of attention. Soon I changed to 'spotlight' to him and he told me a lot about himself. Jacob seemed like a pretty interesting guy. Of course, Alice and Rosalie giggled the whole way. Jacob told me he lived in Seattle, was my age though he looked older. He was visiting his grandma in Chicago, because she was very sick, and his sisters, who were twins, would be taking care of her.
I glanced at my watch. Finally, we only had an hour left of the flight. I was so tired… and before I knew it, I was asleep with my head on Jacob's shoulder. I felt his left arm wrapped around me and he was still asleep, since I could hear his soft snore on my hair.
I opened my eyes and pulled Jacob's arm over my head. On the other side of the corridor, were Rachel and Rebecca Jacob's sisters glaring at me. I scowled, but turned around. I looked behind me.
"Oh, Bella. You're awake," Alice greeted me.
"Finally," Rosalie added.
"Rose! I wasn't asleep that long!" I complained.
"Oh, really? Hmm… then maybe that light shouldn't be on," Rose lifted a finger, pointing towards something above my head.
"What li," I began to ask but suddenly the plane started descending, bringing that familiar blow on my stomach. We were arriving.
Had I really slept for so long? And on Jacob's shoulder?
I turned my head around again and noticed something different in them.
"Did you change your clothes?" I asked them.
"Duh! Bella, we're going to Chicago, and it's snowing."
"Then why did you make me wear flats?!" I screeched.
"Because you looked good," she said simply.
It took us about twenty more minutes to finally land. I could see from my window houses covered in snow.
"Jacob, Jacob, wake up," I told Jacob as I shook him gently. He just kept snoring.
Suddenly, Rebecca or Rachel (I didn't know which was which) stood up and gave Jacob a smack in the back of his head.
"Ouch!" Jacob complained without opening his eyes, "Rebecca!"
Rebecca was now back in her seat, with a grin plastered across her russet-skinned face. "We're here, weirdo. Wake up now." She said.
When I knew neither she nor Rachel could hear me, I whispered to Jacob, "How did you know it was Rebecca?" I mean, he didn't even open his eyes!
"The one who hit me?" He asked and I nodded, "Oh, she's the only girl– no, the only person I know who hits that hard."
Soon, a woman came to fetch us, and go where we would have to wait for our 'parents' or in my case, bus. Meanwhile, Alice, Rosalie and I headed to the restrooms, so that I could change into some warmer clothes.
When we went back to the waiting room, Jacob and his sisters weren't there, and I knew I would never see him again. After fifteen minutes, we were told our bus had arrived and was ready to leave. There were two other girls from Phoenix coming with us.
"Hi!" The first girl greeted us, a bit too enthusiastically. She was medium sized, brunette and a bit tan. "I'm Jessica."
"Hey," Rosalie, Alice and I said in unison.
There was another girl next to her, reading. She had what I guessed was shoulder-length, dark brown hair tied up in a messy bun.
"Angela, say hi." Jessica nudged Angela on the ribs. I winced for it didn't look like a soft nudge.
"Ouch," Angela said as she put her right hand on her ribs. She turned to look at us, "Oh, hi. I'm Angela."
I smiled at her, "I'm Bella, and they are Rosalie and Alice."
"Where are you from?" Jessica asked.
"Washington," Alice told her.
"Oh, Ang! Maybe you'll see them next year." Jessica said to Angela. She then told us, "She's moving there next year."
"Yeah, since Washington is so small, we'll totally meet her." Rosalie muttered sarcastically. Alice snickered and I tried to hide my smile, but Jessica didn't notice, although Angela did as she laughed out loud.
"What?" Jessica asked her.
"Oh, nothing!" Angela said rather quickly, "Just something funny in my book."
"Oh, okay." Jessica turned to us again, "Why are you going to Camp Masen?" She was asking a lot of questions.
"To visit my brother," Rosalie said.
"Who's your brother?" Jessica raised her eyebrows, "Maybe I know who he is."
"Weren't you from Phoenix?" I asked.
"Yeah, but my cousin goes to Camp Masen every year and she tells me about everyone." She shrugged.
"My brother is Jasper Hale." Rosalie answered.
"Oh. My. Gawd. You're his sister? Are you Rosalie Hale?" Jessica's mouth was hung open.
"Yeah…" Rosalie looked confused.
"You're so lucky! My cousin says Jasper is, like, the most gorgeous guy on earth!" Jessica squealed as a goofy grin started growing on Alice's face. "Along with Edward Masen and Emmett Cullen, of course."
I knew then she was talking about Jasper's friends.
"Well, I wouldn't consider myself lucky, since that's my brother you're talking about." Rosalie said.
"Oh, right. Sorry." Jessica apologized while her cheeks blushed.
Rosalie nodded with a quizzical look.
I sat down next to Rosalie, while Alice ended up sitting near Jessica, being admired for her clothes. Alice looked very uncomfortable and mouthed to us "Help!" a few times.
I stood up and went to save her. "Hey, Alice. Rosalie wants to talk to you back there. I'll sit here if you want to."
Alice was up in less than a second. "Thank you. I owe you one," she whispered to me as she walked past me.
I decided to ignore Jessica for a while, so I talked to Angela. "What are you reading?"
"What? Oh, 'Twilight'." She answered, turning her book around to reveal a cover with pale hands holding an apple. I'd heard about that book.
"Oh, is that the vampire book?" I asked, (A/N: Sorry, I had to do that. He, he.)
"Yep," she smiled.
I still couldn't believe how long the bus took to get to camp.
When Alice told me, "Bella, look!" I turned around and saw the most beautiful scenery I've ever seen. It was all covered in snow.
As we stepped out of the bus, a thirty or forty year old lady welcomed us. We were assigned to out cabin, which was number 18.
We headed towards it, looking at wild, small animals, plants and other beautiful things. All we did was sigh and whisper our amazement between us. Finally, we got to our cabin, a small place, with three beds, since Edward– Jasper's friend– got us a cabin for ourselves. We'd have to thank him when we met him.
My backpack landed swiftly on my bed as I dropped it there. Rosalie and Alice were unpacking their too many clothes they'd brought.
"How many bags did you bring, Alice?" I asked.
"Four," she said simply.
"Like, for what? It's not like you use that many clothes." I smirked.
"Oh, I know! It's not all for me, you know?" Alice shrugged.
"What do you mean?" I asked, confused. If it they weren't for her, for who, then?
"Some is for me…and some is for you," she closed her eyes and waited for me to start ranting, I supposed.
"Alice! You know I don't need these clothes!" I screamed.
"Um…you kind of do, Bells. No offense," She replied quietly.
"None taken." I said. I new my fashion wasn't as well developed as hers. Maybe it wasn't developed at all…
"I'm sorry. I just wanted to help," she apologized.
"It's okay, Al. Just tell me the next time, please."
Before Alice could answer, we were interrupted.
"Knock, knock." A guy's voice said and Rosalie, Alice and I looked around to find three drop-dead gorgeous guys staring at us and smiling in the doorway.
What did you think? Did it suck? Was it good? Please tell me!
Edward-flavored cookies for reviewers! (he, he.)

Volume 6 of the series Current Ornithology pp 1-50
Mortality Patterns, Sex Ratios, and Parental Investment in Monogamous Birds
- Randall BreitwischAffiliated withDepartment of Biology, University of Miami
* Final gross prices may vary according to local VAT.Get Access
A subject of great interest to students of animal mating systems over the past 15 years has been parental investment, a concept that includes parental care and the cost of gametes. Parental care in birds (and other animals) had been studied for many years prior to Trivers's (1972) seminal paper, but Trivers's contribution was of major importance because he placed parental care in a theoretical framework. Specifically, he attempted to link parental care to mortality patterns and sex ratios, and thereby account for the varying strength of sexual selection in a diversity of mating systems. Parental investment (PI) is defined as "any investment by the parent in an individual offspring that increases the offspring's chance of surviving (and hence reproductive success) at the cost of the parent's ability to invest in other offspring" (Trivers, 1972). This definition has been modified to apply to clutches or broods of offspring (Wittenberger, 1981).

Liberal Opinion Week
The rash of stories on Donald Trump and Russia published Tuesday leave many questions unanswered. The allegations, as sensational as some are and as damning as others are, are just that: allegations. Intelligence agencies (not to mention countless news outlets) have sought to verify them for months now, with little or no success. Though it might be nice to imagine Trump's presidency collapsing before it's even begun, the fact remains that we know little more now than we did last week about Trump's ties to Russia and whether Vladimir Putin's government has compromising information on the president-elect. There is one thing we do know, though: FBI Director James Comey's intervention in the election last October -- controversial at the time -- looks completely indefensible now.

Thank you, Meryl Streep.
I often have been annoyed by Hollywood stars who use award shows to make political statements, although I have made exceptions for those who support causes that I also happen to support. Call me human.
I would have been delighted by Streep's pitch for press freedom and the Committee to Protect Journalists even if -- full disclosure -- I were not a member of its board.
Streep, who supported Trump's Democratic rival, Hillary Clinton, criticized Trump in her speech for mocking a New York Times reporter with a disability. Trump denies that he was mocking the reporter. Yet videotape appears quite clearly to show him entertaining a rally crowd by mocking the reporter.
Of course, Trump responded to Streep by ignoring her, right? After all, a president-elect has more important things to worry about than the displeasure of a Hollywood star, right? Yes, I'm kidding. After all, we're talking about Donald Trump, long-time believer, as one of his biographers put it, of "counter-punching" even the mildest attack.
Seriously? Is President-elect Donald Trump so thin-skinned that even criticism from Meryl Streep triggers a nasty, over-the-top response? What kind of crybaby have Americans elected as their leader?
"One of the most over-rated actresses in Hollywood," Trump absurdly called the most acclaimed actress of our time, demonstrating he is no more prepared to become critic in chief than commander in chief.
Are there more important things to think and write about than Trump's latest Twitter tantrum? Yes and no. Trump threatens to snatch health insurance coverage from millions, enact huge tax cuts for corporations and the wealthy, reverse progress against climate change, destabilize the Western alliance, pick fights with China while cuddling up to Russia -- the big-issues list is long and frightening. But I believe it would be foolish not to examine the personality and the psychological makeup of the man who will soon be in the White House.
If you happened to watch CNN on Friday morning, you saw a brutal exchange about Russian hacking between a righteous anchor with steam coming out of his ears and a right-wing operative with ice in her veins.
"Chris Cuomo bulldozes Kellyanne Conway," said a headline in one of the many publications so impressed by the encounter that they reported on it.
If you happened to watch CNN on Monday morning, you saw that Conway was actually back with Cuomo for more.
Surprised? Then you don't know the first thing about her.
She's no mere mouthpiece, no measly surrogate. She's more like the David Blaine of political spin, intent on working feats of magic that few others would attempt and surviving situations that would cripple any ordinary mortal. He catches a bullet in his mouth; she makes Donald Trump sound like a humble servant of the common man. He lasts 44 days in a plexiglass case over the Thames; she lasts 40 minutes with Rachel Maddow on MSNBC.
When House Republicans abandoned their plan to gut an independent ethics office last week, it showed the power of public opinion. It also offered a playbook for Democrats in 2017.
As soon as news of the original plan broke late last Monday afternoon, social media exploded with outrage. Phone calls poured in to Capitol Hill the next morning. At 10 a.m., Donald Trump distanced himself from the plan, and by midafternoon Republicans had folded.
We've seen this script before, but it has recently come from the political right more often than the left. The Tea Party and its allies managed to alter President Barack Obama's 2009 stimulus and 2010 health care law, as well as help block climate, preschool and infrastructure bills.
Remember, some of those victories came when Republicans didn't control the White House or Congress. But they had other advantages: a focused message, a strong organization and a whole lot of passion. They influenced policy by striking political fear into members of Congress.
As the debate continues raging among journalists about how aggressively to call out Donald Trump's lies, Monday morning brings a new episode that reminds us why it's so important not to flinch from reckoning with the possibility that conventional journalistic techniques just aren't going to cut it during the Trump era.
At the Golden Globes ceremony Sunday night, actress Meryl Streep tore into Trump, depicting him as a bully who takes borderline sociopathic pleasure in abusing and belittling others. As Exhibit A, Streep cited Trump's now-infamous mockery of a disabled reporter, Serge F. Kovaleski, and made the case that this sort of public performance sets a tone by example:
"This instinct to humiliate, when it's modeled by someone in the public platform, by someone powerful, it filters down into everybody's life, because it kind of gives permission for other people to do the same thing. Disrespect invites disrespect, violence incites violence."
On Monday morning, Trump responded with a series of tweets:
Kellyanne Conway has a prescription for what ails the media's relationship with President-elect Donald Trump. In defending Trump's months-old mocking of a disabled reporter, Trump's senior adviser said we need to look into Trump's heart.
"Why don't you believe him? Why is everything taken at face value?" Conway asked CNN's Chris Cuomo while talking about Meryl Streep's criticism of Trump at Sunday's Golden Globes.
She continued: "You can't give him the benefit of the doubt on this, and he's telling you what was in his heart? You always want to go by what's come out of his mouth rather than look at what's in his heart."
The short answer to Conway's question is no, we can't give him the benefit of the doubt because of what's in his heart. We can't do this because the evidence so clearly shows a presidential candidate mocking a reporter's physical disability. But mostly we can't do this because we don't know what's in his heart, and any attempt to figure that out would amount to a value judgment.
It didn't take long. During the first week of 2017, the new Republican Congress has begun efforts to dismantle America's health-care system. Their long-standing goal, consistent with their right-wing ideology, is to take away health insurance from tens of millions of Americans, privatize Medicare, make massive cuts to Medicaid and defund Planned Parenthood. At the same time, in the midst of grotesque and growing income and wealth inequality, they're preparing to allow pharmaceutical companies to increase drug prices and to hand out obscene tax breaks for the top one-tenth of 1 percent.
Let's try to get this straight. Donald Trump campaigned as the champion of lower-paid working people who deserve better than they have. Republicans have spent the Obama presidency complaining about high deficits and promising to cut them.
And whenever liberals put forward major reforms, conservatives say: No, no, you can't make radical changes on the basis of narrow partisan majorities. Let's take it slow and be very careful. They love to cite Thomas Jefferson's dictum, "Great innovations should not be forced on slender majorities."
In moving with reckless speed to repeal the Affordable Care Act, Republicans are violating every one of these supposed principles. That's because the principle that really matters to them is the one they try to shroud behind happy talk about efficiency and compassion: They want to spend a whole lot less money helping Americans get health coverage.
Sen. Chuck Schumer of New York is exceptionally smart, a prodigious worker with keen political instincts who sometimes can be a bit of a bully. The perfect Democrat, it would seem, to lead the opposition against President Donald Trump.
That is, if he curbs his penchant to be transactional and is tough and skillful enough to hold together a diverse Senate caucus.
The 66-year-old New Yorker, a lifetime politician, is taking over from Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid, who is retiring. Schumer is achieving a long-held ambition, though he wanted to be majority leader. Still, with 48 members and the reality that it usually takes 60 votes for legislation to clear the Senate, Schumer may be the most important Democrat in Washington.
He probably won't exactly emulate the approach taken eight years ago by his Republican counterpart, Senator Mitch McConnell, who quietly tried to thwart the new president at every step and in every way.

Performance "Too funny night" в Евпатории | Review
Today went to the theater in a play named after a.s. Pushkin "Too funny night". Visited this wonderful theatre for the first time – there is a need to repair it, that he shone in full force. Room is good and the seats are comfortable, do not have to look over somebody's shoulder.
Actors played well, if they could cause such a storm of negative emotions inside. to all heroes, In addition to daughter, does not appear some empathy. And the main character, who came for a visit and a rag-father did not cause pity, only the lack of understanding, bordered by irritation: How can you live? Most enraged character-lover by Sergey Astakhov. Thank artists!

St Georges Cathedral - first makeover in 120 years
Broadcast: 07/04/2006
Reporter: Dianne Bain
REBECCA CARMODY (PRESENTER): Next weekend is Easter and visitors to one of Perth's oldest cathedrals will be worshipping in the presence of scaffolding. St Georges cathedral in the city is undergoing a 15-million dollar restoration. Its the biggest structural change since the church was built by convicts in the 1880s. In order to complete the works there's been some novel fundraising. The church is selling its historic windows as memorials and even placing its faith in a racehorse. Dianne Bain reports.
DR JOHN SHEPHERD (DEAN OF ST GEORGES CATHEDRAL): You can walk into this cathedral and feel at home you can also be in here and taken out of yourself
DIANNE BAIN (REPORTER): Even the Lord's house needs sprucing up occasionally. Cloaked in scaffold and canvas the Dean of St Georges views the restoration in pious terms
DR JOHN SHEPHERD (DEAN OF ST GEORGES): If you like it's a metaphor for ourselves we continually need restoring and here's a wonderful building needs restoring.
DIANNE BAIN (REPORTER): Dr John Shepherd has lived at St Georges Cathedral for 15 years and in that time he's witnessed the 120 year old building literally crumbling beneath him. But the first significant sign the Cathedral was dangerous came from above.
DR JOHN SHEPHERD (DEAN OF ST GEORGES): It began with the roof it was leaking hugely in about eight places and so when may came and the winter began we had buckets out and umbrellas and we were getting drenched so we had to grasp the nettle and do something for the roof. Then we looked at the other work that was needed to be done and we thought well since we're going to go to all this trouble to fix the roof and get the scaffolding up we may aswell address all the problems in the cathedral.
DIANNE BAIN (REPORTER): The 15 million dollar project started last month. And the old cathedral has become a hive of, a different kind of activity.
MARTIN COGLAN (BUILDER): We'll drill a hole there a hole there and a hole there...
DIANNE BAIN (REPORTER): Heading up the project is builder Martin Coglan.
MARTIN COLGAN (BUILDER): We'll drill the hole, vaccum the hole out and lightly spray it with water and then we inject a chemical anchor which is cement based and we just gently screw that into the hole and it will go through and tie this layer of brickwork back to the mass of brickwork.
DIANNE BAIN (REPORTER): A stonemason by trade, his company's worked on dozens of heritage buildings around WA, including the restoration of the Perth Town Hall.
MARTIN COLGAN (BUILDER): We've actually suspended this floor about seven and a half meters above the floor level down at the church this enables the congregation to worship as you can see we can work up here in complete privacy and it's not as high it's much easier to work from this level than it is from the bottom.
DIANNE BAIN (REPORTER): And what sort of things are you actually doing to the ceiling?
MARTIN COLGAN (BUILDER): Well the ceiling which are the oregan ceilings we'll be screwing down to the rafters but the rafters will be screwed down to the walls so in a sense we're strenghthening the roof by means of plates and bolts into the wall. The reason is they're going to put another slate roof on and they're concerned about the weight and they're also concerned about another earthquake and so the whole exercise is to strenghthen the roof for earthquake reasons.
DIANNE BAIN (REPORTER): Over the years St Georges Cathedral has not only been a house of worship. It's hosted art exhibitions, wine tasting events and even concerts. But while seventies jazz bands may have shaken up the house, it was the Meckering Earthquake of the 1960s which caused the most damage. The Cathedral's neogothic arches were particularly hard hit including those around the Church's famous memorial windows. The stain glass windows have all been purchased by famous and not so famous West Australians.
DR JOHN SHEPHERD (DEAN OF ST GEORGES): You can come into the cathedral and immerse yourself in the history of the early colonial days and trace the history of Perth through the memorials that are here for instance there's memorial to the first colonial chaplain which is wittenoom.
DIANNE BAIN (REPORTER): As part of the restoration, the clear windows at the top of the Cathderal will be replaced by stained glass and the Church will sell-off these windows to raise money for further work.
DIANNE BAIN (REPORTER): But that's not the only fundraising effort. While the Government's given almost 5 million dollars towards the restoration project the Church still needs more money. And Doctor Shepherd's putting some of his faith in the track.
DR JOHN SHEPHERD (DEAN OF ST GEORGES): Yes we have a horse a horse has been very kindly named cathedral roof for us and it had it's first trial at belmont last week and i must say looked very good in the stalls and went down to the track and seemed to be jogging nicely... It came last. Divine inspiration is what we need a blessing.
DIANNE BAIN (REPORTER): The restoration project is expected to take about a year. For Doctor Shepherd worshipping on a building site is a little uncoventional. But he's willing to try anything once and like most men of the cloth can find the bright side of any ugly situation.
DR JOHN SHEPHERD (DEAN OF ST GEORGES): It's a sign and a symbol for us that if we can identify with this process we can feel ourselves growing through the work that we've done growing personally through the work that 's been done here.

DALLAS (AP) -- Dirk Nowitzki was a baby-faced kid barely old enough to drink the last time the Dallas Mavericks missed the playoffs. Now he's a bearded veteran who can't shave because he and others vowed not to until the team got back to .500. Dallas still has a shot at a break-even record, but will be watching the playoffs for the first time since 2000. An unexpected loss to lowly Phoenix put the Mavericks on the brink of postseason elimination Wednesday night. The Los Angeles Lakers finished them off a couple of hours later by beating Portland. Just two years removed from the franchise's first championship, the Mavericks simply never recovered from Nowitzki missing the first 27 games after the first knee surgery of his career.

County Clerk Rosie Boscnbury said the votes will be canvassed and become official Thursday during the Comal County Commissioners Court. The proposal had been touted as a means to upgrade and improve equipment and services for residents in portions of County Commissioner Precincts I and 4. lf passed, a taxing district would have formed to provide a stable tax base upon which volunteer ambulance and fire services in the rural arca could build a budget. Proponents of the proposed district said the volunteer services in that arca needed to buy new equipment and hire full-time regular employees in order to protect persons and property there. They noted that money received from Comal County each year was not enough to keep operations updated and reliable. Additional funding for the services relied on membership dues, donations, and fund-raising events. Larry Ratliff, president of the Canyon Lake Volunteer Fire Department, said population in the arca was growing at a rapid rate and volunteer emergency service organizations arc strained lo the limit to provide protection. Estimates show that up to 10,(XX) persons live in the area which would have been affected. A tax of from 3 to 10 cents per $ I (X) valuation could have been imposed on property in the area and some estimates said the actual tax imposed initially would have been about 4 cents per SKX), making property valued at $50,(XX) cost S20 per year. Critics of the proposal said once the district had been formed, residents would have little or no say in the amount of future tax increases. Some said taxing property for an emergency services district was a hidden tax increase and, because the organizations already receive Comal County tax money, the measure would mean double taxation.

Moore testified she thought Rojas, who she had known for five months, was "a very honest, sincere, kind person, someone who had his life in order." On the night of the beating, however, she said Rojas "twisted my body around.... My face and forehead he rammed into the cement floor... at the same time placing handcuffs on me and telling mc I was under arrest for assault of a federal agent." Rojas also wrapped her face in duct tape and shaved part of her head, she testified.
