FamilyID lets families find, sign up for, and pay for programs all in one place. It's a secure site where families can keep and use their registration information for several different activities.
Q: How many forms does the average parent have to fill out—from school athletics to camp to adult classes—each year?
A: One, if they're using FamilyID.
FamilyID.com is a new site that lets you find, sign up, and pay for programs in one place. The inspiration behind the timesaving concept came from Rochelle Nemrow, an overscheduled mom who was tired of giving out personal info about her kids on obscure websites, downloading PDFs, and filling out lengthy registration forms by hand—then mailing them back only to find out the programs were full.
Founder Rochelle Nemrow, before FamilyID
Nemrow thought signing up for programs and activities should be easy, convenient, accurate, and secure for everyone. At FamilyID, families can enter their registration information once, then use it again and again, saving time and frustration.

Ellen Pocost can't imagine a better place to live and raise children than Westchester County. Her all-time favorite spot is Manor Park in Larchmont, which, on a summer evening at magic hour, is just like something out of an F. Scott Fitzgerald novel. She lives with her husband, son, two stepsons, and a rescue dog, and considers her successfully blended family to be her greatest personal accomplishment. See More

About the Book
This pictorial journal chronicles my recent travels along the pathways of the Middle Kingdom, China, as well as Tibet and Cambodia, during the summers of 2006 and 2007.
It is FULLY bilingual, English and Mandarin Chinese.
About the Creator
Richard Fisher, R.G.D. is a professor of Graphic Design at Seneca College in Toronto, Canada. This pictorial journal chronicles his recent travels along the pathways of the Middle Kingdom, China, as well as Tibet and Cambodia, during the summers of 2006 and 2007. Its creation has provided him with the opportunity to combine his passions for photography, travel, design, typography, and writing. Richard is currently studying Mandarin (zhè shì fēi cháng kùn nan de ! ) in preparation for future journeys to these lands of remarkable contrasts and beauty.

Gailus In photography, there are many branches of the craft, each requiring different skills, gifts and tricks. People starting out in photography often learn by doing "the walkabout", making the best of what comes their way and learning the basics of photography with each new challenge.
Professional and arts photographers often focus in various "specialties": commercial, studio, landscape, nature, production, documentary, photo-journalism, etc. What can be especially interesting, is when a lifetime of visual skill is reapplied to the walkabout. The circle begins again, but, when skill and appreciation is combined with the pure joy of new visual experience, the results can be more than expected. This is the case with Richard Fisher's "Pathways and Portraits". Richard has taken his eye on a pilgrimage through different lands and has returned with a uniquely rich experience.
"Pathways and Portraits" starts our tour in the greatest bastion of Chinese capitalism, Hong Kong. The photo tour criss-crosses China, covering many of its landmarks, and then some. The tour finishes its perspective with looks at Lhasa and Cambodia. The route map on page two, with its visit locations tied together, looks like some newly minted Chinese symbol of script, waiting for new meaning to be attached.
Richard immediately demonstrates a relationship with his subject, and succeeds at grabbing the moment in his travels. As we travel from area to area, a timing and rhythm is established that ties the experience of landscape and architecture to the people who now live there. The skilful placement of "people in their places" gives us a unique reflection of the individual in a larger view. The photos are fragments of a reality which are somehow gradually taking you somewhere. The gaps themselves disappear, leaving us with a book that somehow has a larger picture.
Chapter introductions list essential geo/demo/socio/graphics, giving us some physical sense of the place. A one-paragraph description tells us just enough to understand where Richard is as the traveller, and to set up what is coming in the pages to follow.
The chapter description in both English and Chinese gives us a book of unique candour that will be of equal interest to both English and Chinese speakers.
Perhaps the most overlooked and under-appreciated aspect of any good coffee table book is its graphic design. The unspoken joy of "Pathways and Portraits" is perhaps its greatest achievement. This book is simply beautiful.
Images flow like renderings on a storyboard. Chapter introductions, partial, single and double page pictures are cleverly woven together to create establishing shots, asides, and panoramic overviews.
Black or white matting often gives respectful space around each photo, allowing us to pause and reflect.
The variation in matting and picture placement itself seems in step with an underlying story. Matting, and the spacing between photographs, becomes steps between scenes in our travels.
Colours chosen for title script are perfectly complementary with adjoining photographs. The space around the photos seem to disappear as we look at them.
If I was to level any criticism of this book it would be the lack of accompanying odours. I can just imagine small envelopes of smells attached to each picture adding dimension to the image. But perhaps, instead - and better than "still" - I'll just go there .
simeonbland This lovely book is filled with surprises - vivid depictions of Chinese culture and life, insightfully narrated in both English and Mandarin. Highly recommended!

The document, obtained by USA TODAY, says that soldiers and interrogators are not required to give defense attorneys statements about the "personal treatment of detainees" or any "failure to report actions of others." It also says that refusing to cooperate with defense attorneys "will not impact your career."
The warning — titled "Interaction with Defense Counsel" — has surfaced at a time when the treatment of the nearly 600 detainees at Guantanamo is under scrutiny because of the abuse and sexual humiliation of Iraqis in U.S. custody at the Abu Ghraib prison in Baghdad. Maj. Gen. Geoffrey Miller, former commander at Guantanamo, went to Iraq last year to share interrogation techniques used in Cuba.
A Defense Department spokesman said the document was aimed at ensuring that Guantanamo employees "know what their rights are." The spokesman said the references to detainee treatment are "relevant examples that make such training better."
Military law analysts and human rights advocates agree that Guantanamo employees should be advised against making incriminating statements. But they say the advice should be neutral.
The document "suggests that there is something that needs to be hidden" about how detainees are being treated, says Scott Silliman, a Duke University law professor and a former Air Force lawyer. "It suggests that the default should be: Don't talk."
Gary Solis, a retired Marine lieutenant colonel, says he gave similar advice to witnesses when he was a military prosecutor. "There's no impropriety," says Solis, who teaches law at Georgetown University. But "the context of this advice gives the appearance of encouraging (people) to be less than forthcoming."
The Pentagon has been secretive about interrogation tactics at Guantanamo, where suspected al-Qaeda and Taliban operatives have been held for more than two years.
President Bush has designated six Guantanamo detainees for trial by military tribunal. Four have been assigned military defense lawyers, who want to question interrogators, soldiers and other detainees. The lawyers want to explore whether evidence against their clients was gathered through abusive tactics. Three of the six detainees have been charged.


text: First off, thanks for looking! Anyway, I am building my movie collection via HandBrake and am running into a problem. I have my movies stored on my Time Capsule and from there they being accessed from iTunes. However, I bring my laptop to class, causing a disconnection from my TC, so when I return home I get the Exclamation Point next to the movie titles. This causes the movie posters, and access to my TV, to go away until I do "Get Info" on each movie and it's as if i never left. So - Is there any way to avoid this? It is very tedious to do this with every movie and TV show I have on my TC... every day when I come home. Thanks!

Fruit Chaat
Fruit chaat is what this stall is most famous for. Fresh, seasonal, chopped fruits are tossed with a flavorsome chutney and chaat spices resulting in a juicy, crunchy, peppy treat. The roasted jeera powder and black salt are especially effective in boosting the naturally rich flavor and aroma of the fruits. Interestingly, the chaat at this stall can be consumed throughout the year; in winters, the spicy flavors make for an enjoyable dish while the juicy, fresh fruits are invigorating during the summer months.

Eva Mendes and Ryan Gosling attend "The Place Beyond The Pines" premiere on September 7, 2012 in Toronto, Canada. (Photo by Sonia Recchia/Getty Images) Photo: Sonia Recchia
Ryan Gosling has cast his girlfriend of 18 months, Eva Mendes in his directorial debut, How to Catch a Monster. The film, which also stars Ben Mendelsohn and Christina Hendricks, is a fantasy thriller about a boy who battles dark forces in an underwater town. And we are not even joking. According to reports Mendes will play "Cat," described as a prominent member of the Big Bad Wolf Club… but nobody knows what the hell that means beyond the fairy tale reference. The casting of Mendes raises other questions beyond the obvious 'Linda McCartney-joined-Wings-and-all-because-Paul-couldn't-stand-to-be-away-from-her-for-five-minutes' ones.
Casting this late in the development of the script kinda points to making it up as you go along. And that's never a good sign. Also, casting your girlfriend, who is admittedly, hot as balls but not really known for blockbusters, could also point to the notion that not many other ladies were interested.
Look, can we indulge in some real talk here? We don't want to piddle all over The Gos's creative buzz but this is starting to sound faintly ridiculous. Don't get us wrong, we love The Gos like, well, a lover, but we're afraid that directing might not be his forte.
That said, Linda McCartney doing precious little other than banging on a tambourine for Wings never did Paul any harm. So, in closing, we'd like to quote from a well-known Wings hit:
"When you were young and your heart was an open book, you used to say live and let live..."
And, um, we'll just leave it there.

Max Weinstein looks at the question at Beyond the Box Score this week.
He ran several different tests and came to this conclusion:
As it turns out, the pitcher, and not the catcher, is the player with the higher propensity to influence the running game, whether in a positive or negative way.
Like in any thing, there will always be extremes. Despite our findings, exceptional talents like Johnny Cueto or Yadier Molna will continue to do what they do best. Generally however, the pitcher's overall and isolated CS% will be highly correlated to the battery's CS%.
Disregarding one's influence on the other is negligible, much like we do under conventional baseball thinking that the catcher is responsible for CS%. We need to go beyond conventional wisdom and accept that CS% is not a skill directly related to the catcher, but largely a function of the pitcher.
It was an interesting read for those of you who are interested in things like that.

Hello from NW Indiana/South Chicago!
I'm a GW gamer from all the way back in the Man O War days, and I'm a big fan of 40k, Necromunda, and Blood Bowl.
I really, REALLY like to paint, and I actually netted myself a Golden Daemon back in 2003 (Baltimore battle scene) so was considered fairly competent once-upon-a-time. I did drop out of the scene for a good number of years though and just recently started up again when the Space Marine video game came out, so I'm kind of playing catch-up with all of the advances in painting techniques and tricks and such since then.
I'm currently building a new ork army for myself as well as an Ultramines army for one of my boys. I've also coached my oldest through building and painting an impressive Iron Warriors force with a Khorne bent to it, and he's now hard at work making a traitor IG list to go along with it.
I've been listening to the IC podcast for a couple of months now, starting somewhere around episode 30 and working my way current. I'm still a few episodes behind (I listened to the Golden Thronie outtakes last night, ROFLROFLROFL), but I've been loving every minute of it. I've found that it has really inspired me to work on my hobby and I'm a bit disappointed that I didn't find this before the hobby challenge as I totally would have jumped into all of that.
Anyway, I've been lurking the site for a week or so now and figured it was time to post something. So, here I am!

Church Field in Morell will be hosting the Atlantic midget AA baseball championship from Aug. 29 to 31.
"We hosted the midget provincials last year, and by all accounts did great, so we figured we would apply for the Atlantics," said tournament co-chair Maxine Doucette. "We were thrilled to get them, and now are excited to showcase our hard work organizing and running an Atlantic championship."
The Northside Lions are the host, and will joined by the P.E.I. champions Kensington Crusaders, New Brunswick's River Valley Cougars, Newfoundland and Labardor's St. John's Capitals and Nova Scotia champs, the Windsor Knights.
While finishing 8-8 in the P.E.I. midget league regular season and 2-2 at the provincials, Northside head coach Randy Byrne doesn't expect his team to be pushovers.
"We've got a lot of strong players and good pitching. If we can limit the errors and unearned runs (against), we've got a chance to beat every team," he said. "These teams will be excellent, so we have to play at our best each game. But if we do, we've certainly got a shot."
Games start at 2:30 p.m. on Friday, and opening ceremonies will be at approximately 7:30 p.m. Honourary tournament chairman, former principal and standout ballplayer Walter Bradley will throw out the first pitch. Games will continue in Morell all day Saturday and Sunday.
It's been 10 years since Morell hosted an Atlantic championship, and organizers are excited.
Community of Morell maintenance worker "Ronnie Drake does such a great job on the field. We are excited to showcase the field and such a high level of midget baseball. We hope that lots of ball fans from Kings County and all of Prince Edward Island get out and cheer the local teams," Doucette said.
"It's going to be a great weekend to highlight the quality of midget baseball on P.E.I. and across Atlantic Canada."
The Baseball Atlantic midget AA championships schedule. Games to be played at Church Field in Morell.

Many times, child therapists overdo the family system in their quest to seek effective solutions for emotional, learning or behavioral concerns with young children. And many times doctors overpathologize issues that shouldn't be medicated necessarily. This leaves parents wondering what is the best route for their child? Introducing brainwave optimization technology. A fast, effective, natural, and less expensive way to allow your child's brain to make the optimizing changes it desires to make---on its own!

I see children from the age of four years and up, many of whom are referred for behavioral and emotional difficulties such as frequent and long-lasting tantrums, poor emotional regulation, defiance, physical aggression toward parents or siblings, and/or high degrees of anxiety. In these situations I meet with the child and his or her parent(s), so that I can see the interactions and better discern whether this is a strictly behavioral or a developmental problem. Treatment options may include parent coaching, family counseling, individual counseling (for older kids), referral for psychological or neurological testing, and referral to a developmental pediatrician, among others.

Aeros lose heartbreaker to Seawolves, 5-4
AKRON -- After tying the game in the eighth inning on a run-scoring single by right fielder Thomas Neal, the Akron Aeros (48-32) eventually fell to the Erie SeaWolves, 5-4, in 10 innings.
With the loss, the Aeros lost three of four games in the series against the SeaWolves. Erie has dominated the season-series, winning nine of 14 games.
Following a loss by the Harrisburg Senators and a win by the Bowie Baysox, the Aeros now have a 7.5 game lead over both teams in the Eastern League Western Division.
After Bryan Price (2-2, 2.86) put runners on first and second with one out in the 10th, Rob Bryson allowed an RBI-single to push across the deciding run. Price had retired the side in order during his first two innings of work, but seemed to run out of gas in the 10th.
"Price with two and two-thirds innings, he really threw the ball well," said Akron Aeros manager Chris Tremie. "He had been very efficient through two innings -- he hadn't thrown a lot of pitches and was throwing the ball well. I decided to send him back out there for a third and he threw the ball well in that inning, but he was starting to get up in the zone."
Before allowing the run in the 10th, the Akron bullpen had shut down the SeaWolves lineup. Tyler Sturdevant worked out of a bases loaded jam and threw one and two-thirds innings of perfect relief.
"It was an outstanding job by Sturdevant, coming in with the bases loaded and getting out of that inning without allowing any runs," said Tremie.
Bryce Stowell also pitched an inning of scoreless relief for the Aeros.
Aeros starter Paolo Espino struggled to keep runners off base in his four and one-third innings of work. He allowed four runs on seven hits and three walks while striking out three. His outing was the first time in seven start that he failed to throw 5+ innings.
Akron hitters struggled through the first half of the game, failing to get a hit until the fifth inning. After a leadoff single by Neal, designated hitter Adam Abraham walked to put a runner in scoring position with no outs. Third baseman Kyle Bellows followed with a two-RBI double to center. Bellows later scored on a sacrifice fly to make the score 4-3.
The Aeros tied the game in the eighth after Neal hit a line drive single to center that scored shortstop Juan Diaz from second. Following a strikeout, Bellows hit a hard single to right field and first baseman Chun Chen was thrown out trying to score from third. Erie right fielder Michael Rockett had entered the game as a defensive replacement earlier in the inning, but Tremie felt he had to test the strong-armed outfielder.
"The kid in right field has an outstanding arm -- we know that he's made throws against us," said Tremie. "With two outs, I'm going to be very aggressive in that situation. You give them credit, he made a great throw."
Akron threatened again in the bottom of the ninth, drawing a pair of walks, but SeaWolves lefty Kenny Faulk (1-0, 4.05) retired Chen and Diaz to end the rally.
After losing the series against Erie, the Akron Aeros will start another four-game home series against the Richmond Flying Squirrels on Saturday at 7:05 p.m. Right-hander Chris Heston (6-3, 1.68) will go for Richmond against Akron lefty T.J. House (5-2, 3.71).
Notes: The game start was delayed until 8:15 p.m. because of rain. … Nick Weglarz has now struck out six times in his last three games. … After a 3-for-4 showing, Thomas Neal raised his average from .300 to .309. … Announced attendance: 7,011.

Adoption Center is Open and Many Wonderful Dogs, Cats, Puppies, and Kittens Are Looking for Permanent Homes
Port Washington, NY, August 30, 2011 – As Hurricane Irene headed through the tri-state area, North Shore Animal League America (NSALA) - the world's largest no-kill animal rescue and adoption organization – worked around the clock to provide emergency rescue services to several Long Island shelters to ensure the safety of as many dogs and cats as possible. Despite lingering power and phone outages in the Port Washington, NY area, the Animal League's Adoption Center remains open and many beautiful and healthy animals are available for adoption. The Pet Health Center also remains open for appointments. The hours of operation for both facilities are Sunday – Wednesday from 10:00am – 9:00pm and Thursday – Saturday from 10:00am – 10:00pm.
Prior to the storm, the Animal League was able to provide emergency assistance in the tri-state area with a fleet of eight Mobile Rescue Units. On Saturday, the Animal League deployed two Mobile Units to Mitchel Field in Uniondale, NY and took in 50 animals whose owners were staying at the emergency shelter set up at Nassau Community College. The units were stocked with dog and cat food, supplies and medical kits and pet parents were able to visit and walk their animals. Kira Principato, a member of the NSALA Emergency Rescue Team who was on location at Mitchel Field from Saturday through Monday, assured the pet owners that their dogs and cats would be safe and secure during this stressful time. "People's animals are very dear to them and the Animal League took great care in making both animals and pet parents feel comfortable," she said.
Earlier in the day, a Mobile Unit was sent out to rescue 5 canines and 15 felines, including two mothers nursing babies, from the Wantagh Animal Shelter. These animals were brought to the Animal League's headquarters and are available for adoption. In addition, a Mobile Unit rescued 10 kittens from the Brooklyn Animal Foster Network in Coney Island who are residing in the Animal League's Pet Nursery and will be put up for adoption.
On Friday, an Animal League Mobile Unit was driven to the Animal Rescue Fund of the Hamptons (ARF) in Wainscott, NY to assist the shelter in housing dogs and cats due to increased numbers because of the summer population in the area. The Animal League also rescued 40 cats from Bobbi and the Strays in Freeport, NY and housed them at the Animal League's headquarters in Port Washington, NY over the weekend. Another Animal League Mobile Rescue Unit was stationed at Brookhaven Animal Shelter over the weekend and housed an overflow of dogs and cats.
"It was the Animal League's goal to minimize potential danger to dogs and cats and prevent the loss of life, and we are extremely proud of our staff that worked around the clock to ensure the safety not only of our own animals but animals throughout the area as well," said Sylvia Ottaka, Senior Director, Shelter Operations, NSALA. "The Animal League's on-site staff and volunteers have shown the same dedication to saving as many animal lives as possible by keeping the adoption center staffed and fully operational throughout the weekend."
The Animal League continued to monitor the situation before, during and after the storm. These Mobile Rescue Unit deployments reflect the Animal League's relationships with shelters and rescue partners throughout Long Island, and its decades-long commitment to saving animal lives.
North Shore Animal League America - Home of the Mutt-i-gree® - headquartered in Port Washington, NY, is the largest no-kill animal rescue and adoption organization in the world. The Animal League reaches across the country to rescue, nurture and adopt 20,000 pets into happy and loving homes each year. Over the past decade, the Animal League saved over 200,000 lives and has saved 1,000,000 animals since its inception.

Mike Richards has playoff temperament
When the Los Angeles Kings acquired Mike Richards last summer to be the No. 2 center behind Anze Kopitar, it was essentially a move to add thorns to go with the rose.
"He arrives at every part of the ice in ill humor," linemate Dustin Penner said. "He doesn't give anyone an inch out there, no matter who they are."
In addition to scoring a goal in the opening minute to launch the Kings' offensive attack in Monday's 5-2 Game 2 win, he also seemed to be involved in every scrum after the whistle. He might have been the hardest man to play against in Game 2, and he's a symbol of how different the Kings are this season.
PHOTOS: Top shots from the NHL playoffs
Penner said Richards has become a "calm, quiet, steady" leader, not surprising considering that he was viewed as a young Bob Clarke when he was captain of the Philadelphia Flyers.
"It's always been part of him," Penner said. "But you notice it now because there's only eight teams left (in the playoffs)."
Richards seems proud of his reputation for being a player with the perfect temperament for postseason play.
"It's the best time to play," he says. "You want to make the most of it when you get there."
Around the rinks
Winnipeg Jets center Jim Slater and New York Islanders winger Kyle Okposo each had a goal and an assist as the USA beat Sweden 3-2 in a tune-up game for the world championships. Detroit Red Wings goalie Jimmy Howard stopped all 25 shots he faced before the Dallas Stars' Richard Bachman finished up. …Montreal Canadiens defenseman P.K. Subban suffered a knee injury and won't take part in the worlds for Team Canada.

Leno's face, although it glows with the rubbery health of the often-exfoliated, is falling, and jowls are begging to form.
Alastair Sim had jowls like melting candle wax, a snarl like a cornered cat and eyes cold with contempt.
Her cheeks were puffy red, her eyes jutted poppily from the sockets, and her jowls dripped.
jowls and beans were cheap; he could afford to be liberal with that meal.
The jowls are taken off the head and salted with the bacon and hams.
When at length she gave it up, his jowls were only a few shades lighter.
And he rubbed my hand over the cold nose and jowls of a dog.
The newcomer vainly strove to move his icebound jaws and jowls.
The wub waited good-naturedly, licking the water from its jowls.
Puffeth with his mouth in a way hateful to me & hath pig's jowls.
"jaw," 1570s, alteration of Middle English chawl (late 14c.), chavel (early 14c.), from Old English ceafl, from Proto-Germanic *kefalaz (cf. Middle High German kiver, German kiefer, Old Norse kjoptr "jaw," Danish kæft, Flemish kavel, Dutch kevel "gum"), from PIE *gep(h)- "jaw, mouth" (cf. Old Irish gop, Irish gob "beak, mouth"). The change from ch- to j- has not been explained.
jowl 1 (joul)
The jaw, especially the lower jaw.
The cheek.
jowl 2
The flesh under the lower jaw, especially when plump or flaccid.

OK maybe they do have a valid case, but can we request proof of the vehicle and driver....to at least confirm it was our vehicle and who was driving at the time.
So just to clarify if we do not complete and send this form before this date of service of 22nd, then the case will not be closed and as such in their favour.
Thanks for clarifying those points so as the date they refer to is 18/10/2011, as this is prior to 1st october 2012 cutoff we can request they confirm the driver at the time.
Thanks for your advice...will rate and provide an outstanding review for you now.
Have a great weekend

Moire patterns are those little unpredictable artifacts that sometimes pop up when small dot patterns or certain mechanical tones are employed or over-layed. Here's an example borrowed from Hi Fi Color's excellent website Master Digital Color –
The best way to avoid moires is to be sure that your tone or dot pattern renders are always done TO final print resolution. If you render your pages at less than final print resolution and "rez up" then your chances of generating moires are greatly increased. Similarly, over-rezzing your renders (rendering at higher than print resolution) and then re-sizing down will also likely create moires.


text: Rockwell Collins, Inc. (NYSE: COL) today reported third quarter fiscal year 2013 earnings per share of $1.20, $0.06 higher than earnings per share of $1.14 in the same quarter last year. The 5% increase in earnings per share was due to improved operating performance and the benefit of share repurchases. Net income for the third quarter of 2013 was $164 million, compared with $166 million in the same quarter last year. For the third quarter of 2013, the company reported a 3% reduction in total sales, to $1.17 billion compared with $1.21 billion last year with Commercial Systems sales increasing 7%, while Government Systems revenue declined 11%. Total segment operating earnings increased $8 million to $261 million, or 22.4 percent of sales this quarter, compared to $253 million, or 21.0 percent in the third quarter of the prior year. Cash provided by operating activities for the first nine months of 2013 totaled $309 million, an increase of $117 million compared to $192 million last year. The improvement in cash from operations was primarily driven by improved inventory performance, lower tax payments and lower compensation payments. "Despite the lingering impact of defense budget reductions, I believe the operating performance of our company was outstanding in the third quarter," said Rockwell Collins Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Clay Jones. "Segment operating margins were up 140 basis points driven by a Commercial Systems increase of 340 basis points while Government Systems held roughly flat on declining sales. Additionally, operating cash flow generation is 61% greater than this point last year. This earnings and cash performance was driven by double-digit growth in commercial aftermarket revenue and our continued focus on cost containment, program performance and asset management." Jones went on to state, "Although near-term visibility remains difficult as the U.S. Department of Defense incorporates the impacts of sequestration, we see continued strength in our commercial business. Based on our performance to-date, we are increasing our guidance for earnings per share and operating cash flow toward the high end of our previous range."

NASDAQ told the beleagured independent movie production company yesterday that it's concerned about possible violations of its rules regarding notification of new share issuance — and the requirement for investors to approve new securities that could represent more than 20% of the voting shares. The market also has questions about Seven Arts' proxy statement. Company CEO Peter Hoffman says he was "surprised" by NASDAQ's decision "for what we viewed as technical issues." NASDAQ's position could change if Seven Arts complies with the notification rules. "We will make all additional disclosures requested by NASDAQ and remain confident that the actions taken at the stockholders' meeting were pursuant to our articles, bylaws and Nevada Law," Hoffman says. "We will be appealing any decision to de-list the Company's common stock." Seven Arts reported that it lost $1.59M in Q1, vs its $973,034 loss in the period last year, on revenues of $187,793, down 31%. The company's shares are down 88.8% in 2012, and 96% for the last 12 months.
Seven Arts Entertainment Shares Stopped Trading As NASDAQ Plans To De-List
2 Comments
No surprise. Even a cursory check of the CEO's background will reveal that there's a history of questionable behavior. And I use "questionable" as a courtesy.
Who on earth would buy any shares of a film company owned and operated by peter hoffman? Who on earth would be surprised when that company loses all its money, is engaged in serial litigation around the globe, and then stops trading?
Of course the shares will be delisted. The shares were sold for dollars, then can be repurchased for a penny after delisting. Classic.

Sly & The Family Stone
by Bobbi Booker
(NNPA)–Sly & The Family Stone laid down a template that not only inspired an era of youhful rebellion and independence as the 60s became the 70s, the group also had – and continues to have – a potent effect on the course of modern music in general. The creativity of the mixed-race, mixed-gender and mixed-genre band shines in "Higher!" (Epic/Legacy Records), the new 77-track, four-cd box set.
Spotlighted throughout the first three CDs of "Higher!" are rare mono single masters of every classic Sly & The Family Stone signature hit. Paying homage to the golden age of transistor radios are mono versions of "Dance To the Music," "Everyday People," "Stand!," "I Want To Take You Higher," "Hot Fun In the Summertime," "Thank You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf Again)" and more than 30 mono single masters, and mono album cuts, that were a call-out to get up and dance. Decades after the chart debut of Sly & The Family Stone with the game-changing "Dance To The Music," fans and newcomers will have the opportunity to dig into this far-reaching anthology, covering the recording career of Sylvester Stewart starting in 1964, and the band he masterminded from 1966 to 1977 on Epic Records.
"Sly Stone's music is relevant because was able to take from all the influencing genres before him and along side him and combine it like gumbo," said Public Enemy frontman Chuck D. "Then inside the band, having women, having it mixed race and ethnic background – I mean, come on now. You really couldn't point and say, 'well, this is the reason why it is funky,' it's all this togher like gumbo and maming this happen. And Sly & The Family Stione was the epitome of a group playing the music, saying the lyrics and also backing with the words."
"Higher!" pays tribute to the unique style of Sly & The Family Stone with its innovative ten-inch square package design, which houses the CDs in its interior pockets. The middle compartment contains a detailed 104-page book featuring a liner notes essay, a beautifully-illustrated timeline of Sly's career, track-by-track annotations, rare and uncirculated photography, 45 rpm label and picture sleeve repros, eye-popping vintage concert posters and ticket stubs from Sly & The Family Stone shows and more.
The music combined with extensive liner notes by Jeff Kaliss (author of Sly's only authorized biography), takes listeners through the extensive legacy of Sly & The Family Stone through four decades of movie and TV soundtracks, commercials, radio playlists, and parties worldwide that influenced countless makers of rock, funk, jazz and hip-hop. Also included are gems from Sly Stewarts' pre-Family Stone period, inlcuding studio outtakes and potent instrumentals from this archetype of jam bands.
"Refracted in these treasures are colors you may be unused to seeing in Sly: Old R&B, jazz, nursery rhymes, gospel and even country, fused and transformed by a precious visionary and his fellow musical alchemists," said Kalis, author of "I Want To Take You Higher: The Life and Times of Sly & The Family Stone."
Of the many impossibly rare and fascinating inclusions on "Higher!," special attention is paid to the four tracks that close CD Three. They were recorded live at the Isle of Wight Festival in the United Kingdom, early Sunday morning, Aug. 30, 1970, one year after Sly's memorable wee hours performance at the Woodstock Music & Art Fair. Two of the Isle of Wight numbers, "Stand!" and "You Can Make It If You Try," were subsequently issued on the Columbia three-LP release from 1971, "The First Great Rock Festivals Of The Seventies." The two other numbers by Sly & The Family Stone at Isle of Wight, namely "Dance To The Music" and the medley of "Music Lover / I Want To Take You Higher / Music Lover" (a variation on their medley from the Woodstock soundtrack album), were both previously unissued until now.
With 17 previously unreleased tracks, "Higher!" presents a lot more music of the Sly & The Family Stone experience than you knew was out there, all remastered to hit the pinnacle of sound.

Sir James Guthrie LLD
Oil Painting
Fine Art
To Pastures New is today considered to be one of the key pictures of the so-called 'Glasgow Boys', the group of young painters who, in the 1880s, were deeply influenced by French Realism, and chose to paint real life scenes, often of ordinary working people.
The setting for this painting is Crowland, in the flat fenlands of Lincolnshire. In spite of the modest subject matter the ponderous birds and their herd-girl have, through the artist's handling of them, created something impressive, suggestive of a processional frieze. This impression is emphasised by the dominant horizontals, the proportions of the picture and the placing of the figures in the extreme foreground. Sir James Guthrie LLD PRSA, (born Greenock 1859-1930).

Strong gales from east-south-east to south-south-east, a high sea, and dark dismal night.
The sea is said to be "on" when boisterous; as, there is a high sea on.
The weather was now unfavourable again, blowing strong from the westward with a high sea.
In this twisted manner did the story of high sea navigation reach him.
She has the quality of the open sky, of the flight of birds, of deep tangled places, she has the quality of the high sea.
As soon as I saw her she had me lashed to the mast in a high sea, with the great salt waves dashing over me.
Did it mean that they were in touch with the high sea Fleet?
I was afraid our masts showed to seaward and might betray us to some curious passer on the high sea.
He wore a faded velveteen jacket, a red-flannel shirt, and high sea boots, coming half-way up his thighs.
Do you realise how dismal a thing it is for us to be separated from our own by a high sea all these months and years?


text: Today, as you are no doubt well aware, is the big Apple event and one that will almost certainly see the launch of the all-new iPhone 5. A key part of that phone is the iOS 6 operating system, which no longer comes with YouTube pre-installed.As we mentioned some time back, YouTube has departed because the licensing deal between Google and Apple has ended. Obviously Google was never going to leave it that way, so on the eve of the Apple event, a standalone app has been revealed.If you buy a new iPhone or upgrade to iOS 6, you'll need this if you love using YouTube. Its a free app obviously, with Google throwing in a few new tricks to sweeten the deal.Rebuilt from the ground up by Google, the new app now features a new YouTube channel guide, which gives you access to subscribed channels with just a swipe of the finger. It also finds videos faster than the previous app, with new search tools digging up recommendations as you type, You also get the option to look through comments and related videos as you are watching a clip. Sharing is improved too, via either Google+ (inevitably), Facebook or text message in the app, as well as from Twitter or email. The only downside is that the standalone iPad version isn't quite ready to go yet. That's just down as landing 'in the coming months'. We wouldn't be surprised to see it coincide with a new iPad or indeed, the rumoured iPad Mini. If that device doesn't launch tonight, obviously.

Miranda Cosgrove Angers Arizona With Concert Cancelation Excuse
Uh-oh, Miranda Cosgrove, it appears that you might have incurred the wrath of an entire state with the slip of the Twitter.
The 17-year-old iCarly star has sparked a budding scandal after canceling her performance at the Arizona State Fair in Phoenix this year, citing an "unavoidable scheduling conflict." Unfortunately for Cosgrove, some members of the Grand Canyon State's media have discovered that there's something called Twitter, and that Miranda Cosgrove is on Twitter, and judging from her tweets it seems that the singer/actress' other engagement might not have been so pressing after all.
One of Cosgrove's tweets from the night of Sunday, September 7—the night that she was scheduled to perform—cheerily notes,
"Sitting in my favorite French restaurant after 4 hours of French with my tutor."
Which prompted The Arizona Rebublic to note, with obvious dismay,
"Sacre bleu!"
Might as well throw a "Mon dieu!" in there too. And maybe a "D'oh!" while you're at it.
Do you think French lessons and dinner were good enough reasons for Miranda to bail on her professional obligations? Share your thoughts in the comments section.

Definitely liking the dress Kate Winslet chose to the premiere of her new movie CARNAGE at the Venice Film Festival. Well, 2/3rds of the dress anyway. For some reason it appears to become a Big Mouth Bass there at the shoulders, seemingly about to swallow her whole. Not that the thought hadn't occurred to me as well. I imagine that, much like Alabama from TRUE ROMANCE, Kate would taste just like a ripe peach.
Kate has been the top of my list for celebrity sexual encounter fantasies ever since TITANIC. Before that, really. Back in those days, when I was a much stupider person who decided getting hitched was a good idea, I instituted the caveat that many a married couple make, whereby each partner has one "out" should some amazing and highly improbable circumstance present itself. No big surprise that Kate was my out. And although it was just a fantasy, it was nonetheless a fantasy filled with a remarkable amount of raw, sexual potency. Several years later, nothing has really changed about that fantasy. Kate is still at the top of my list. And with all the celebrity hotties out there to choose from, that's really saying something about how well she's holding up.

North Fulton and South Fulton/DeKalb County Foster Parent information session
Foster Care Support Foundation, Inc.
Event Details
Foster Care Support and Fulton County Division of Family and Children's Services in the - Georgia Care Partnership (GCP) to present Foster Parent training and information sessions and help our children in need.
A partnership with the county and our communities- check under our organization tab for full details.
Get involved and learn how you can help strengthen our system to save and help our foster and displaced children. You and your church, neighbors, businesses and civic organizations can make a difference by getting involved, volunteering, fostering and partnering directly with our partnership between FCSF and our DFCS offices throughout Georgia. We can have all eyes on our kids and have direct communication with the caseworkers to help the children. Check out the orientation tab and read about the Geogia Care Partnership
Please Join us!
Children come into the system with a reunification plan, rarely with an adoptive plan. Many are safely reunified with family, which is the primary objective of the foster care system, either with birth parents or with Grandparents or relatives. If reunification is not an option after the case goes under investigation or reunification performance is reviewed as failed, Termination of Parental rights will be the goal. At that time, the fostering family where the child has been placed for a selected amount of time may be the first option for consideration for adoption once family is ruled out. Next in line would be approved State and County homes that are waiting for 'adoption only' placements. Adoption only placements may have a long waiting list since 80% of foster children that are freed for adoption are adopted by their existing foster families.
We can help improve and support the quality and quantity of our county homes by partnering directly with DFCS to help strengthen our Georgia children and work with these families and children. You can do this by becoming a
- Resource foster parent-one that will foster and also consider adoption
- respite foster parent- a licensed foster home that will only foster short term to help give other foster parents a week or weekend off from time to time
- adoptive parent - licensed parent(s) that will take in a child once adoption is available and the child is not being adopted by their foster parents, or relatives- this group will be on a waiting list.
With our communities supporting the caseworkers that are responsible every day for making the decisions for our abused children while guiding the biological families to heal and regain custody of their familiies, the system, as we know it, can be strengthened to be the best possible. We CAN do this together. 'Remember' the things you read in the news are not the whole picture. Hundreds of caseworkers do a great job each day that go unnoticed until a mistake is made. Thank a caseworker today for helping to improve the lives of children and families each day with their competent and hard work. Let's put our tax dollars to work and our support behind helping strengthening our system to make it the best.

Comparison of Rheumatoid Arthritis Patient Characteristics From Randomized Controlled Trials to a Registry Designed for Rheumatoid Arthritis Comparative Effectiveness Research.

The US federal government and several medical societies have recently endorsed more research targeted to comparative effectiveness studies of existing medical therapies as a way to optimize medical care, to lower health care costs and to provide research results that are more generalizable to a broader population than those typically included in randomized controlled trials (RCTs). We developed a Rheumatoid Arthritis Comparative Effectiveness Research (RACER) registry at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC) to provide a platform for comparative effectiveness study designs that incorporate electronic health record information, improve patient care and incorporate aspects of both randomized studies and real world observation. We determined whether there were significant differences between the characteristics of RACER subjects versus subjects from published RCTs.
RACER was established in February 2010 and consists of patients >=18 years with a rheumatologist diagnosis of RA (n=820). At each clinic visit, self-administered questionnaires including a routine assessment of patient index-3 (RAPID3), short-form-12 (SF12), work productivity and activity impairment (WPAI), DAS28, and physician and patient visual analogue scales (VAS) for arthritis-related pain and global health are collected from subjects. Blood samples for determination of C-reactive protein (CRP), RF and anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide (CCP) levels are collected. We compared RACER descriptive statistics to similar data from all RA patients seen in the UPMC health care system in 2010 (n=2,610) and to published biological therapy RCTs identified by PubMed searches. We also compared the descriptive statistics of RACER subjects initiating new therapies to subjects in RCTs.
RACER subjects had characteristics similar to RA patients evaluated throughout the UPMC system in 2010. RACER subjects that initiated new biologic or DMARD therapies (n=185) had somewhat higher disease activity scores, more work impairment and a lower physical quality of life but were otherwise highly comparable to other RACER subjects (Table 1). When compared to subjects in RCTs of biologic therapies, RACER subjects were older, had longer disease duration and lower disease activity. However, RACER subjects and subjects in RCTs had several similar characteristics including sex, race, RF positivity, functional ability (HAQ or mdHAQ) and quality of life (SF-12 or SF-36).
Table 1. Demographics of RACER Subjects (n=820)
The RACER cohort is representative of real world RA patients given the similarities between RACER subjects and non-RACER RA patients followed within the UPMC health care system. RACER subjects were typically older, had a longer disease duration and less disease activity than subjects in RCT's. This suggests that comparative effectiveness studies of different therapies tested in RACER subjects may yield different results compared to results from RCTs.

Broadband subscriptions in the UK exceeded expectations in the last 6 months of 2008 reaching 17.4 million by the end of the year and topping Point Topics forecasts by 0.2%.
DSL operators had a stronger fourth quarter than projected, in particular the local loop unbundlers. While cable did well it didnt exceed our forecasts, says Tim Johnson, Chief Analyst at Point Topic.
The success of O2 was the biggest new story of 2008 as far as the fixed broadband market was concerned. Starting the year with only 71,000 broadband lines, it added 270,000 more to increase its market share by 1.5%. Sky has a good 12 months too and built on its accomplishments in previous years to achieve even bigger gains, adding 727,000 lines to reach almost 2 million lines
These successes have contributed to DSL increasing its share, from 78.0% to 78.6% of the UK broadband market with almost all the balance being provided by cable and only an estimated 0.2% using other technologies such as fixed wireless and satellite.
However during the year there was only a 10.6% growth in broadband overall, a sharp decline from the 19.9% in 2007. Much of the slowdown came in the second half of the year when market saturation combined with the advancing recession to cut the number of adds from almost 1 million in the first half to only 675,000 in the second.
So by March 2009 the broadband scene in Britain was very different from a year earlier. On the one hand the market was seizing up. Structural change had ground to a halt; market growth had slowed sharply, says Johnson. On the other, having started late, the UK was making rapid advances towards rolling out next generation broadband and delivering superfast speeds to a high proportion of the country.

The last week has been a somber reminder that mental health issues are perhaps the biggest threat to locals' well-being in this valley.
We don't know what drove Jeff Walker, a longtime local whose funeral drew more than 300 people, to his final act, taking his own life with a self-inflicted gunshot wound in an out-of-bounds area off of Aspen Highlands. Whatever it was, the event is a tragedy of incredible proportions. It is so sad to think that someone would get to a point where they see suicide as their only way out. There have been countless locals who taken their own lives; we lost another longtime local last month. We wish we could turn back time and reach out to each and every one of them.
The fact of the matter is that mental health and depression lurk beneath the surface here, as much or more than anywhere else. The statistics lay it bare: Pitkin County has one of the nation's highest suicide rates. You could call some of the issues structural: the high cost of living, increasing stratification of local society, dangerous rates of drug and alcohol abuse and a sense of isolation in a transient community are just a few. The resort-town environment might also push some to put on a happy face and keep the party going when they are having problems.
There is no problem that can't be solved, whether it be financial pressures, loneliness or not being satisfied with how life has turned out. We must also remember that we prop each other up in this beautiful place.
There are no easy answers. Perhaps we need to all slow down a bit and pay closer attention to what is going on with our families and loved ones, and make clear to them how important they are to us.
Fortunately, awareness of the Aspen area's issues with depression and suicide seems to be on the increase in the last few years. In 2009, a University of Colorado team published a report that focused on Pitkin County's mental health issues, which led to the creation of the Aspen Hope Center. The 24-hour service allows anyone to call 970 925-5858 and be connected with people who are trained in responding to mental health crises. We imagine that the Hope Center has extended a life line to many who are in need.
Our hope is that we all can be more willing to open up about our struggles, and also be those caring people who are willing to listen. Help is out there, and it may be just a phone call away.
The message must be spread communitywide that it's OK to get help, and know where help is available. The Aspen Counseling Center is a resource where people of all ages, incomes and abilities can find support and affordable treatment. It's important that all people have access to treatment and services because there is a great deal of knowledge about how to identify, heal, and prevent mental health conditions. Recovery and empowerment are the keys to success, and as a community we can empower recovery through education, awareness and support.
The only positive take-away from this latest tragedy is that it showed once again how much this community cares about one other. It was seen during the 11-day search for Walker and again when people came together at his memorial service. We must celebrate one another every day, not just when someone is gone. We should be gathering together as a community in celebration, not grieving the loss of someone we wish had felt safe enough among us to be open about his or her problems.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the family and friends of Jeff Walker, who undoubtedly are struggling with unanswerable questions right now.

Youth unemployment is a huge challenge for local government. And while the number of young people not in employment, education or training differs considerably across the country, it's a pressing issue for all local leaders. Young people looking for employment face considerable challenges to find work, one of which is the cost of travel. A little relief may be felt this month as bus companies offer free transport to jobseekers, but more sustained local action is needed.
Good transport links are vital for young people to access jobs and training, but the Work Foundation's latest report shows how transport costs and availability can hinder both the job search and the ability of young people to remain in work if they can find it. It can also prevent access to further education and training, which in the long term has serious implications for local growth and productivity.
A shift of power to local communities, in line with the coalition government's localism agenda, may offer some potential to address these disadvantages. But fiscal austerity and cuts to local government funding risk widening the geographical disparities in transport provision.
We suggest three ways for councils to address transport barriers to youth employment: consultation with young people, support for local community transport and better promotion of existing services.
Young people's voices must be heard if their transport needs are to be understood and met. The limitations of local consultation processes have been well documented, and young people in particular face obstacles to engagement. Councils should strengthen their relationships with local charities so they can represent the views of young people in their transport planning.
Local government support for community or "supported" transport can also make travel more affordable and accessible. These services can even play a direct role in improving employment opportunities, incorporating training and volunteering. While central government promises support for the procurement of non-commercial services, the Campaign for Better Transport has reported that one in five council of these services were reduced or cut in 2011.
Cost savings may understandably drive local spending decisions, but a recognition of the productivity benefits (through supported access to employment and training), and social benefits (preventing costs associated with continued unemployment) of these services is needed.
A third simple but effective way to help young people access transport services is to ensure they know about existing provision. Accurate travel information must be widely promoted, and again, working with the third sector can help.
Ensuring all young jobseekers in your local area are aware of this month's free bus offer would be a good start to the new year. However, this is a short-term initiative; the impact will be minimal without a more sustained and comprehensive effort locally and nationally.

I am a senior in high school I am applying to the Academy. Such a good deal in my book. Its an amazing experience.
Aug 26, 2010, 12:01 AM #6
Holy crap, slow down bro! LOL I know my dad said a lot of things have changed since 911. Search and rescue to homeland security, blah, blah When he retired he was on the Atlantic Strike Team. Any ship entering the Chesapeake Bay, they boarded and inspected. My dad and my cousin went to an academy in Jersey. If you don't mind waiting a little bit, I can give him a call and try and ask some of these question for ya.
haha yeah thats fine. I have work in an hour so hopefully i get some more people posting. I graduated with a criminal justice degree hoping to get a job as a law enforcement officer but either they are getting laid off, not hiring, or when they do hire, a million people apply, especially people with military backgrounds. I figured this is slightly along the same lines but also has the ocean included, which obviously is a plus.

My wife has her degree and some buddies want her to go into the Air Force. If she went in (with a degree) she would go in as an officer. So I would assume, your degree would help ya bro! In the mean time, I will check with my dad and try to answer some of your other questions! Good luck

Good luck and wish the best!
I was in tha Army from 02 to 06, and talked to the coast guard after getting out, I was serious about joining and met with a recruiter. Here are the facts from my visit in 2006( which could have changed but from what I hear havent)
They pick your job(m.o.s) , usually they put you where they are shorted
They choose your first duty station where you must stay for a minimum of 3yrs(of course you get leaves and 4 days)
At this point I stood up and left.
You could join w/ the hope of being in a certain field on the ocean( big risk)
You could wind up being a rescue boat crewman on one of the great lakes( no waves = no good)

To begin the climb out of a deep financial hole, Gainesville school officials are recommending raising the property tax rate by 15 percent in fiscal year 2008-09, which begins July 1.
"We should have increased (the rate) last year, but we didn't have the accurate data to make this decision," said Superintendent Steven Ballowe in a budget presentation to the Gainesville City Board of Education Monday night.
He was referring to financial issues cropping up under the watch of the previous financial chief, Angela Adams, including a drastic thinning of revenues and a challenging conversion to new accounting software.
"We were smiling broke," said board member Willie Mitchell of that period. "... We were all getting good news when (the news) was bad."
Janet Allison, the district's financial chief, said she projects that the city will have a shortfall of $6.5 million to $7 million by June 30, or the end of the current fiscal year.
Ballowe proposed increasing the tax rate to 8 mills from 6.94, with 1 mill equal to $1 for each $1,000 in property value. He said the owner of a $150,000 home would see a $207 increase in the tax bill.
The tax increase could raise $3.5 million next year. To balance next year's projected $52.6 million budget, the district also is looking at some $4.5 million in cuts, including not filling some vacant positions.
The district also is looking at eliminating the Phoenix Academy, which was started several years ago to address the academic needs of recent school-age immigrants with limited formal schooling from their home country.
The number of students in that program has dwindled from 30 to 40 when it started to seven last year, Ballowe said.
School officials are proposing to add four positions at the elementary level to deal with growth, he added.
Next year's budget could produce a year-end surplus of nearly $4 million, particularly if it receives the same midyear adjustment it received this year from the state, or $1.6 million.
The surplus, however, would go to relieve the deficit.
"It's going to take us two years to get back into the black and several more years to build the kind of surplus we'd like to see," Allison said.
As it is, the board voted to pursue a "tax anticipation note," or short-term loan of about $5 million to carry the system into the next fiscal year.
"We have an immediate need for cash," said Allison, noting that she would know a more exact loan amount today.
She said the school system, by law, must pay off the note by Dec. 31.
Governmental bodies typically pursue such notes to take care of bills until they begin receiving property tax money and other revenues.
"We're in a bad financial situation, but I don't want it to negatively affect the instruction of our children," said board member David Syfan.
Ballowe produced charts that showed Gainesville as "among the lowest spending (districts) in the state" while having one of the highest academic records — including the sixth highest Georgia High School Graduation Tests scores in the state and a graduation rate that could reach 90 percent this year.
He assured the board that, despite the grim financial numbers, "we're not going to miss a beat" in the operation of the system.
"You won't impact instructional programs, testing accountability, and teaching and learning," Ballowe said. "We won't impact class sizes."
Still, school board members were bracing for difficult times.
"We can't have waste," said Kelvin Simmons, a member of the board. "If we don't need it, we don't need it."
The budget discussion followed a time when board members had to approve some much-needed projects, including new air-conditioning compressors and roofing work.
As part of a vote to approve spending $4,750 on resodding and irrigating the practice field at Gainesville High School, May board chairman Sammy Smith asked Keith Vincent, the district's maintenance and transportation director, to "check every potential sources and fund for (financial) help."
The board plans to approve a tentative budget on June 2 and a final budget on June 16.

Accusations Made Against Cicero Supervisor
Some serious accusation have been lodged again the town supervisor in Cicero.
Town resident Robert George, who's an attorney, stunned the audience at last night's town board meeting with accusations of unethical and possibly criminal behavior by town supervisor Jessica Zambrano.
George accuses the supervisor of being in a romantic relationship with Douglas Wickman. He's involved in a company that's been hired to do engineering work for the town. George also claims that Zambrano is now living with Wickman and called for her immediate resignation.
For her part, Zambrano told 570 WSYR that this is nothing more than politics in Cicero. She says when she began a relationship with Wickman, she made sure she vetted the relationship with the town attorney and even went to Albany for advice on whether there was any unethical situation brewing. She recieved an all clear sign from all parties.
Zambrano says the situation would become questionable as supervisor if she were to marry Wickman.
Zambrano also claims that her relationship with Wickman began long after the town hired the firm he's involved with for engineering work.
