Modi, Advani split opens door for Congress
BJP leadership row threatens to make 2014 polls a one-horse race
June 12, 2013
India's Congress party and its United Progressive Alliance coalition, which has ruled India for the past nine years, can perhaps breathe easy.
Despite being on the verge of collapse under the weight of a series of corruption scandals involving half a dozen ministers; a melting economy reeling from low industrial production and high inflation; and the collapse of some of its major policy initiatives, Congress has reason to be confident about winning a third term in elections due next year.
Its main challenger, the right wing Bharatiya Janata party and its delicately woven National Democratic Alliance (NDA) suddenly find itself on the verge of an ideological split.
It stems from a dispute between two leaders who have, in their own way, shaped its policies and inspired its cadres in the years since it lost national elections in 2004 after six years of government under former prime minister Atal Behari Vajpayee.
The dispute between the highly divisive Narendra Modi -- three-time chief minister of Gujarat state and a self-styled prime ministerial candidate for 2014 -- and Lal Krishna Advani has been brewing for months, but erupted with volcanic force this week, throwing the party and its middle class and corporate supporters into a tizzy.
The highly ambitious Modi was hoping he would be declared the BJP nominee for prime minister, but was instead elected chairman of the less glamorous election campaign committee last week at the party's Goa conclave.
He now finds that even this transient glory has been sabotaged by his bête noire Advani who astonished the leadership by angrily resigning from three apex party councils of which he was the senior member. Advani said he was unhappy with the direction the party was taking.
Advani, a former deputy prime minister, is a co founder of the modern BJP with Vajpayee following the collapse of the Janata Party in 1979.
With the moderate Vajpayee as a nationally acceptable face, Advani quietly set about recapturing Hindu support across the country in a national rath yatra journey. The journey was a bloody one, with numerous anti-Muslim riots marking its course across India, culminating in the demolition of the historic Babri Mosque in the city of Ayodhya on Dec 2, 2012. That cataclysmic event marks the beginning of Islamic fundamentalist violence in India, leading to many acts of terrorism, and in turn unleashing police barbarity and the persecution of innocents.
Advani's attempts to reincarnate himself as a more moderate politician, with a visit to Pakistan and more temperate rhetoric, has disturbed the party's main ideological patron.
The Rashtriya Swayamsewak Sangh's political vision for India is as the world's only hard core Hindu nation with only a marginal role for religious minorities.
Their candidate to challenge Advani was their card-holding activist Narendra Modi. He was handpicked to be chief minister of Gujarat and successfully used this position as a springboard for a tilt at the top job.
Modi successfully wooed the emerging and ambitious middle class and the corporate sector with tax incentives and crushing the organized industrial labor movement and "teaching Muslims a lesson" by allegedly unleashing a bloodbath in 2002.
But Modi's ambitions and his ruthlessness have made him a divisive personality, with the BJP's NDA allies making it clear that they will go their separate ways if he is chosen as the coalition's leader.
The real struggle in the party, and in fact the nation, is between the forces that see India as a monolithic cultural bloc with the supremacy of the Hindu faith and the leadership in the hands of a stentorian ideological ruling core, and groups that recognize the need for a temperate political doctrine that nurtures the country's complex ethnic, social and religious fabric in a modern idiom.
Modi scares this group. Moderates within the BJP understand that with Modi as their prime ministerial candidate, the party will never get the broad support it needs to win power. In fact, it may also mean the end of the NDA, as we know it.
For them, his ambitions have to be nipped in the bud, even at the cost of a temporary internal rupture.
For the Congress Party, it seems a win-win situation. The spotlight is no longer on its corruption or other failures. And the divisions in the BJP can only dilute the challenge further. The ruling coalition now has to determine how it can capitalize more on its rival's discomfiture.

Seton Hill's Haines preps for MLB draft
When Alex Haines injured his left elbow after his junior season at Hempfield, he thought the dream of becoming a major leaguer was over.
But Haines had Tommy John surgery and was assured by his doctor, Martin Gillespie, that his career wasn't over.
"I was a little naive about the surgery," Haines said. "I didn't even know if it was realistic that I'd throw again."
But Gillespie told Haines he'd come back stronger. "Obviously, I did," Haines said.
The MLB Draft begins Thursday with the first two rounds, and Haines said he will be eagerly awaiting a call Friday. The Seton Hill junior said he's ranked by at least one scouting service as the No. 1 prospect in the state, going as early as the fourth round.
"When I injured my arm, I never thought I'd be in this position," he said. "I can't believe I have a shot at being drafted."
The 6-foot-4, 215-pound left-hander will watch the draft online from his parent's house in Fort Allen.
Haines said once he was cleared to resume his workouts after the surgery, he worked hard and finally got back on the mound his freshman season.
"I didn't throw off the mound for 14 months, but when I hit 90 (mph) in my last outing in the fall of my freshman season, I knew I could do this again," Haines said. "I'm amazed what I've done. It's kind of not real to me."
Haines got better each season at Seton Hill. He finished with a 19-6 career record with three saves, six complete games and 233 strikeouts in 180 1⁄3 innings.
He was named West Virginia Intercollegiate Athletic Conference Pitcher of the Year this past season after going 8-2 with a 2.35 ERA. He's consistently been clocked in the low 90s this spring.
Haines, who has interviewed with almost every MLB team, was clocked between 94-95 mph in 2012 while playing in the New England Collegiate Baseball League. It was his breakout season.
"I had a great season there," Haines said. "I got to start the all-star game and pitched in front of 5,000 fans. It was probably the highlight of my career."
Despite the injury prior to Haines' senior season, Seton Hill baseball coach Mark Marizzaldi offered a scholarship.
"Some may say it was a gamble for us to offer him," Marizzaldi said. "But we had other pitchers that had Tommy John surgery and came back strong."
Haines spends three or four hours a day either lifting weights or long tossing. He long tosses between 300 and 350 feet.
But it took a rough summer playing in the Valley League in Virginia for Haines to realize he needed to step up his workout routines.
"It made me reconsider my baseball career," Haines said. "Everything changed after that summer.
"I changed my mindset. I started taking things more serious. I tried to get stronger, faster and bigger to throw harder."
Haines said he long tosses seven days a week, unusual for most pitchers.
"I try to throw the ball as far as I can and as hard as I can," Haines said. "It teaches my body to be explosive. If I can throw a baseball 300 feet, it should be easy to throw a baseball 60 feet."
Marizzaldi said Haines' workout routine is like a professional's.
"He is so focused, so disciplined and so dedicated," Marizzaldi said. "He really wants it. He wants to make it to the big leagues."
And Haines said Friday can't come fast enough.
"I've waited 21 years for the draft. I guess I can wait another week," he said.

Acclaimed vocalist reinvents the Great American Songbook on August, 2003 release
On Tuesday, August 26th, Verve Records will release Nature Boy, a new recording by the great Aaron Neville. A deeply satisfying suite of standards sung with remarkable sensitivity, Nature Boy is both a hallmark and a revelation: Aaron's feel for sweetly swinging jazz is pitch-perfect. He reinvents the Great American Songbook with a sure soft touch; he lavishes his remarkable gifts on a project he calls "precious." Nature Boy is a classic-and classy-in every respect.
"Jazz," says the four-time GRAMMY® winner, "was as much a part of my musical education as blues or funk. He continues, "Dad loved Nat Cole's brand of jazz. Nat was his favorite singer and 'Nature Boy' his favorite song. I sing it in tribute to him, a man who inspired his children."
The album was produced by Rob Mounsey, and features an all-star lineup of musicians, including Roy Hargrove, Grady Tate, Ron Carter, Michael Brecker, Ry Cooder, and Anthony Wilson. Says Neville, "These are some bad cats. They got the mood just right. For me, jazz is all about mood. Jazz is all about standards that are connected to your soul, connected to your life."
Linda Ronstadt, with whom Neville has collaborated in the past, most notably on the hit "Don't Know Much," appears here on a special duet. Says Neville, "Of all the lady singers out there, Linda Ronstadt is in a category of her own. There's no one I'd rather sing with. It's especially cool to be doing a classic like 'The Very Thought of You' with Linda. Like Ray and Aretha, Linda crosses over to any material that strikes her fancy. I love how we blend."
Other songs included on Nature Boy include "Cry Me a River," "The Shadow of Your Smile," and "Our Love Is Here to Stay."
"To be singing these chestnuts -- Gershwin's 'Summertime,' Porter's 'In the Still of the Night' -- brings me back to my parents. These were the songs they danced to. These were the songs of my youth. That's why I love 'Blame It on My Youth' and the line that says, 'I believe in everything... like a child of three.' I always say that my voice is a mixture of the strength and wisdom of my father, the love and tenderness of my mother, and the innocence of my childhood. My folks taught me that music, love and God are all one thing. So in singing these standards-these romantic songs that get prettier with each passing year-I feel more than an earthly love. I feel the force of God, the spirit of all love."
Born January 24, 1941, Aaron is the third of the four famous Neville Brothers of New Orleans. A product of that city's richly complex musical culture, his first vocal model was older brother Art, keyboardist and founder of the Meters. Brother Charles played sax with B.B. King while brother Cyril became Aaron's partner in a funk band they called the Soul Machine.
Throughout the sixties Aaron recorded for local Louisiana labels, but it wasn't until 1966 that he broke onto the national scene with "Tell It Like It Is," the plaintive ballad that went #1 on the pop charts, a song still considered a classic in the annals of American music. Issued on the obscure Par-Lo Records, the hit unfortunately coincided with the label's demise. With no follow-up and few royalties, Aaron's career stalled. Beset by demons both professional and personal, he struggled for the next ten years.
Aaron and Cyril gigged with various obscure groups in New York before returning to New Orleans in 1976 for the recording of The Wild Tchoupitoulas, the landmark album celebrating the Indian tribe whose leader, George (Big Chief Jolly) Landry, was the brothers' beloved uncle and prime musical/spiritual inspiration. For the first time, all four Neville brothers recorded together.
Since then, the Nevilles have released a string of hit albums both as a group and as solo artists, establishing themselves as premiere musicians of their generation.

LITTLE RAPIDS — Residents of Little Rapids won't see an increase in their services fees for at least the next year.
The Little Rapids Local Service District Committee held its annual general meeting at the community/fire hall Thursday night and acting chair Ruth Pullin was happy to announce that the committee was operating on a balanced budget. Seven residents attended the meeting along with five of the seven-member committee.
Pullin said Little Rapids is one few local service districts, or even communities, in the province to be in that position.
That's why the committee was able to keep the yearly service fee at $300 per household. The money collected covers the cost of waste collection, fire protection and street lighting.
However, with regional waste management coming on stream the committee may not be able to avoid raising fees in the future.
"We knew that we had a small cushion in our bank account and we knew that there certainly was going to be an increase in our waste collection (costs) over the next couple of years, so we thought that we would leave the fees as they are this year and then let people know that the likelihood (of an increase) is coming and then try to ease it in over the next couple of years," said Pullin following the meeting.
Another change the committee is in the process of making in terms of fees is the implementation of a new business fee structure.
Pullin said the committee had no criteria in place for setting business fees and felt a review was needed.
"If a business wants to know why they're being charged a certain amount, we need to be able to justify it."
The committee decided that existing businesses would be grandfathered into the structure and continue to pay the fees they currently do. Pullin said the business fees have only gone up in the past when residential fees have.
Any new business would have its fees determined by the new criteria. This would include the base amount paid by current businesses and then extra units based on the cost of providing fire protection to that business.
Businesses with less than 5,000 square feet pay $325 and those with more than 5,000 square feet pay $475. Home-based businesses pay $150.
Under the proposed structure each additional unit added to a business would cost $25. Pullin said the units would vary according to the risk involved. For example a business that has hazardous material on site might be charged an extra six units.
Fire service committee
The committee also moved forward Thursday night with the selection of three people to serve on the regional fire service committee that will be set up to oversee the combined Steady Brook and Little Rapids fire department.
A memorandum of understanding was signed between the two communities in November.
Pullin said the formation of the regional fire service committee is the next step in completing that process.
"It'll be responsible for the governance of the combined fire department," said Pullin.
The seven-member committee will consist three people from each community with the seventh member selected by a draw. Each community will put forward one name for that draw. That seventh member will serve for one year and then be replaced by someone from the other community on an alternating basis.
Little Rapids fire Chief Glenn Penney, local service district committee member Shawn Leamon and Linda Leamon will make up the Little Rapids part of the committee. No decision was made on the person who will go into the draw.
At the end of the business portion of the meeting an election was held for a new committee.
Five of the outgoing committee were unopposed in their bid to return. Acclaimed were Pullin, outgoing chair Jason Spingle, Leamon, Agnes Brake and Lois Bateman. With no other interest, it was decided to look at filling the remaining two positions later. A new chair will be selected at the next meeting.
Following the election, outgoing treasurer Brad Childs put forth a motion to increase the renumeration for committee members. Committee members had been receiving a break on their yearly service fees by only paying $150, however Childs proposed the entire $300 fee be waived.
The motion passed with one member abstaining from voting and at least one committee member voting against it.

In honor of American: The Bill Hicks Story: The ten best Bill Hicks jokes (NSFW)
Regardless of the fact Bill Hicks is often cited by current comics as one of their biggest inspirations, he was relatively unknown when he was alive, and even after dying in 1994 at the young age of 32, he remained overlooked by the public at large. To shed a bit of light on his comedy genius, the documentary film American: The Bill Hicks Story takes a look at what Hicks left behind, both through interviews and his life story. But what it's missing is a bunch of clips of his comedy, so we went ahead and tallied up ten of our favorites below.10. Rush Limbaugh
Had Hicks lived long enough to witness Limbaugh's pain-killer addiction, we can only imagine what he could have come up with, but his image of Limbaugh in a tub getting shit on by Barbara Bush might be one of his most offensive and weird jokes out there.9. Terminally Ill Stunt People
The basic premise of this one is pretty simple: if you're about to die from a terminal disease, you might as well go out with a bang and be in the movies. Makes sense to us. Grandma can finally get beat up by Chuck Norris.8. Positive drug stories
This is one of the better examples of Hicks' meshing of comedy and philosophy -- it also tosses in his thoughts on drugs and the nature of reality to boot.7. Childbirth
Hicks' take on the phrase "childbirth is a miracle" turns into a crazy rant on single mothers, children and parents in general. He even manages to segue no-smoking flights into a rant on children. Serious skills at work here.6. Creationism
This one is great because it nails a few of Hicks' best one-liners in one bit. He tackles the updated Bible in modern English, wearing crosses, creationists, JFK and more. It's also a great example of how Hicks was one of the best at dovetailing his jokes together in a way that felt natural.Next Page

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 2/3/2013 (1607 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
LONDON - Britain's Queen Elizabeth II is recovering at Windsor Castle after coming down with a stomach bug that forced the cancellation of a royal engagement.
The 86-year-old monarch had been due to visit Swansea, Wales, on Saturday to present leeks — a national symbol — to soldiers of the Royal Welsh Regiment in honour of Wales' national day, St. David's Day.
Buckingham Palace says the queen is spending the weekend as usual at Windsor Castle outside London.
The monarch, who celebrated 60 years on the throne last year, rarely misses engagements due to ill health. She last cancelled an engagement five months ago due to a bad back.

I'm glad I found your post on here. My husband and I recently signed up for our wireless service about a month ago. Well, about 3 weeks after that and ever since, we have been getting harassed by the Finance department, stating that we owe for a previous account when this is our first and ONLY account that we've ever had with this company... Since they refuse to abate their aggressive pursuit to try and force us to wrongfully pay for their mistake, then action must be taken. I am certain we are not the first ones this has been done to.
5. Re: Class Action Lawsuit against VerizonElector Sep 24, 2013 3:44 PM (in response to houseofsarge05)
You do realize this forum post is very old?
In any case Class Actions cannot be done because of the US Supreme Courts decision for AT&T and other companies.
Your account may be linked via the telephone number given. If you owed the company for a previous service you would not have passed the credit check.
I suspect either the person using the number before you, owes Verizon Wireless or someone opened an account in your name and alas you are zinged for it.
File a complaint at http://www.bbb.org or take them to small claims court.
Call them or better yet write them at the address on your invoice, dispute the amounts they claim. Send certified return receipt requested.
Good Luck

Roadside steenbok
With all the private game reserves springing up around the country, it's possible to have free game drives in certain areas just by driving along side roads.
Around Grahamstown, just slow down and from the road you'll often see warthogs, giraffe, red hartebeest, springbok and wildebeest going about their business on the other side of a game fence.
But I love the steenbok, which have always been roadside wanderers – sometimes to their detriment, unfortunately.
They're often found close to human settlements, all over the country. You'll find their neat little footprints on farms and open golf courses. You'll often see them as you drive in the countryside, especially along dirt roads.
Small, brick-coloured antelope, you can distinguish them from the equally small duikers because steenbok will flash their white tail and underparts as they run.
Every animal has something to commend it, but the steenbok's outsize ears, big eyes and air of Bambi innocence just squeeze the heart.

In another White House correction, the Bush Administration has changed its story of a British Airways pilot's spotting of Air Force One during the President's trip to Iraq last week.
The original story - which held that the airline's pilot had talked to Air Force One and that he kept the secret of President George Bush's Thanksgiving Day flight to Baghdad - had been told to reporters by the White House communications director, Dan Bartlett, as he sought to portray the drama of Mr Bush's trip.
But after British Airways denied such a conversation had taken place, the White House spokesman, Scott McClellan, said on Wednesday that the pilot had never contacted Air Force One.
"The conversation was between the British Airways plane and the London control tower," Mr McClellan said.
It was also the London control tower, not an Air Force One pilot as in the original story, that misidentified Air Force One as a much smaller "Gulfstream 5" aircraft, Mr McClellan said.
He said that Air Force One pilots overheard the conversation while flying over the west coast of England.
In another indication of how the White House maximised the impact of the 2-hour stop at Baghdad airport, US officials said on Wednesday that Mr Bush had picked up a decoration, not a serving plate.
In the most widely published image from the Thanksgiving trip, a beaming Mr Bush is wearing an army workout jacket and surrounded by soldiers as he cradles a huge platter laden with a golden-brown turkey.
Officials said they did not know the turkey would be there or that Mr Bush would pick it up. A contractor had roasted and primped the turkey to adorn the buffet line, while the 600 soldiers were served from cafeteria-style steam trays, the officials said.

In the first half of 2009-10, Saferoads recorded a net profit of approximately $2.5 million, representing earnings per share of 9.8¢. The company's profit was more than double that achieved in the previous corresponding period. However, Saferoads operates in an industry where the timing of projects is crucial, and this can account for a lumpy earnings pattern.
At the end of April, management informed the market that revenue for the second half of 2009-10 would reflect a lower level of major road projects, resulting in an expected full-year net profit of $2.8 million or earnings per share of 10.8¢. Since that news was announced, Saferoads share price has fallen from 72¢ to a low of 51¢.
Management said that the company is well positioned to benefit in the medium term when increased activity and road infrastructure spending is expected. Saferoads has a significant market share in a number of areas including safety fencing and crash barriers, and an earnings recovery should occur in the short term.
But even factoring in Saferoads' soft second-half, it is difficult to see the company's share price sliding any further. Based on Thursday morning's opening share price of 55¢, Saferoads' price-earnings ratio is five. Consequently, there is scope for an upwards rerating as more positive news emerges regarding upcoming projects.

Not only will this hold your TeleVue Accessories more securely in place, but it won''t mar the barrel of your prized optics - and neither will the 1.25" adapter. The focuser glides smoothly and cleanly, with just enough tension to keep from making corrections too quickly - yet loose enough to keep from feeling "stiff" in cold weather.

Pope Tawadros II, 60, was elected earlier this month but the official enthronement ceremony was held on Sunday at the Coptic cathedral in Cairo. He replaced Shenouda III, who died in March after leading the ancient church for 40 years.
The packed cathedral repeatedly erupted into applause as the ceremony progressed. The ceremony's climax came when the papal crown was placed on Tawadros' head before he sat on the throne of St. Mark, the Coptic church's founding saint.
Tawadros did not address the televised ceremony, but had a brief speech read on his behalf by one of the church's leaders in which he pledged to work for the good of Egypt, with its Muslims and Christians alike.
Egypt's Christians make up about 10 per cent of the nation's estimated 83 million people, making them the largest single Christian community in the Middle East.
Christians have long complained of discrimination, particularly in the last four decades as the country's Muslim majority moved toward religious conservatism. The rise to power of Islamists after the ouster nearly two years ago of authoritarian leader Hosni Mubarak has deepened their concerns, amid increasing attacks targeting their churches and businesses.

Current Approaches to the Treatment of Well-Differentiated Thyroid Cancer
Current Approaches to the Treatment of Well-Differentiated Thyroid Cancer
Well-differentiated thyroid cancer is something of an
anomaly in the field of oncology for two primary reasons. First, the team of
physicians who manage the patient consists primarily of endocrinologists,
endocrine surgeons, and nuclear medicine physicians instead of medical
oncologists, surgical oncologists, and radiation oncologists. Second, there is
an extremely high rate of cure with remarkable 10- and 20-year survival rates
due to the indolent nature of the tumor, even in the setting of lymph node
Dr. Angelos presents a thoughtful review of well-differentiated thyroid
cancer, highlighting key issues in diagnostic evaluation, surgical treatment,
and postoperative adjuvant radioactive iodine. He discusses the controversial
areas associated with treatment of the diseaseie, the extent of surgery and
the management of patients with elevated thyroglobulin as the only indication of
recurrent disease.
Diagnostic Work-up
The benefits and limitations of the diagnostic studies available to evaluate
a thyroid nodule are also reviewed in this article. Although fine-needle
aspiration (FNA) examined by an experienced cytologist is the key study that
determines appropriate surgical management, ultrasound and nuclear medicine
scans provide specific benefits in certain clinical situations.
The principle benefit of ultrasound is in assessing the size of lesions and
evaluating for other occult thyroid nodules, as pointed out by the author. The
current recommendation is that only thyroid nodules measuring > 1 cm in two
dimensions warrant biopsy. Ultrasound may identify other nonpalpable lesions
that are large enough to be assessed by FNA.[1] A second use of ultrasound is to
guide the FNA. As pointed out by the author, nonpalpable lesions are
increasingly being identified by other diagnostic tests, and ultrasound is
essential in guiding the biopsy of these lesions. However, ultrasound may be
used even for palpable nodules that are nondiagnostic on initial FNA because of
bloody aspirate or minimal material. Ultrasound-guided biopsies allow placement
of the needle into viable nonnecrotic sections of the nodule.[2]
Nuclear medicine scans generally provide little additional information
because even though virtually all malignant nodules are cold on iodine scan, the
majority (80% to 83%) of cold nodules are still benign. The most important use
of iodine-uptake scanning in patients with multiple nodules is in identifying
hypofunctional lesions that should be studied with FNA.[3]

Iraqi prime minister calls for Saddam Hussein to be hanged before year's end
In remarks that highlight the politically motivated and rigged character of the trial of Saddam Hussein, Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri Kamal al-Maliki declared that Hussein is to be executed by the end of the year. Maliki made the statement in a televised interview with John Simpson of the BBC that was broadcast on November 7 from Baghdad.
When asked by Simpson whether he meant January or February next year, Maliki reiterated that he expected the execution to take place before the end of 2006.
Hussein was sentenced to death on November 5 in connection with the execution of 148 Shia men and boys from the village of Dujail in 1982. Under Iraqi law, a review of the sentence must be made by a nine-judge appellate court 30 days from the verdict. If the court upholds the rulings, the execution must be carried out within 30 days.
Maliki was letting it be known that the appeal would be dismissed and Hussein's execution would follow in short order. The very fact that he so brazenly preempted a judicial ruling is indicative of fraudulent character of the "democracy" and "rule of law" that Washington claims to be establishing in occupied Iraq.
Originally, the court, created and controlled by the US, planned to hold a series of trials dealing with separate charges of criminal actions by Hussein against the Iraqi population, with the pre-determined death sentence to be enacted after all of the verdicts had been handed down. Already underway is the second trial, stemming from the "Anfal" military campaign of 1986-1989, which Hussein ordered to suppress the Iranian-backed Kurdish rebellion in the north at the end of the Iran-Iraq war, and which included the use of poison gas against civilians.

Adoptalk & Publications
Facilitated Openness Can Benefit Children Adopted from Care
By Diane Riggs, NACAC staff
When my parents adopted in the early '60s, society accepted adoption, but it was not something most adoptive parents (whose infants were matched with the family by skin, eye, and hair color) shared publicly. Today, parents who adopt children from foster care cannot pretend their children were always a part of the family, and most know that becoming a legal part of a new family does not erase a foster child's emotional ties to the past. As openness in infant adoption gains currency, it is worth considering how facilitated, safe contact with birth family members can benefit children adopted from care.
Why Promote Contact?
Helping a foster or adopted child stay in contact with members of his birth family can be time-consuming and sometimes emotionally draining. Facilitated contact, however, can be valuable for children:
Facilitating Contact
When considering contact, adoptive parents must put their children's well-being first, and never force contact if the children are unwilling. With each interaction between her children and people from their past, Barb Fischer asks herself, "Whose best interest is served here?" The answer, says Barb, "has to be my child."
Whether they know the birth family or not, adoptive parents should work with the placing agency to make certain they receive copies of all the information from the child's file. Elements of the file can be incorporated into a lifebook for the child. The file might also include details about other members of the child's birth family or previous foster families.
Cheryle Roberts, program director for Lilliput Children's Services in California, suggests that workers might be able to moderate a pre-adoption meeting where foster/adoptive parents and birth relatives can share information about and pictures of the child. The worker could even take a picture of the birth and adoptive parents together. "What better way is there to make a child feel comfortable with the adoption than having a picture of his birth and adoptive families together in his lifebook?" asks Cheryle.
When considering contact resources, adoptive parents should cast a wide net. Parents and teens in the adolescent adoption study included the following as family: birth parents, step-parents, siblings, past foster siblings, godparents, fictive kin, grandparents, aunts and uncles, and other previous caregivers. Since sibling loss is often felt most acutely, it is not surprising that 73 percent of study families were in contact with siblings.
Promoting Safety
Lilliput Children's Services, reports Cheryle, likes to "promote openness as a continuum from no contact at all to open regular contact." Most families, she says, fall somewhere in the middle. After deciding upon contact, families must set parameters around the amount and kind of contact, the degree of supervision needed, and strategies for avoiding uncomfortable situations. Parents must also be prepared to help their children through any acting out that can result from contact. If any contact gets negative, parents should limit or stop it.
To help prevent problems, adoptive parents should instruct youth how to assess danger, extricate themselves from unhealthy situations, and address uncomfortable questions. One youth in the adolescent adoption study whose birth mother makes him feel guilty has a pat response: "I tell her that I love her and that there is a place in my heart for her, but I have moved on." Another youth reports, "I call my mom if I feel uncomfortable, and she will be right there." Just knowing her parents would not sanction contact with a drug-addicted uncle helped another youth leave her grandparents' house after her uncle showed up.
Although it can be difficult for adoptive parents to reach out to their child's first family, many former foster children know and may someday seek out members of their birth family. When it is safe to do so, adoptive parents can help their children explore the past—and prepare for the future—by making or maintaining connections with birth families and former caregivers. These connections can help children and youth gain a better sense of who they are and more readily accept their place in the adoptive family.

The core Ibis brand is the most numerous at the moment in London and sits between Ibis Budget and Ibis Style in terms of cost and space. Modern compact bedrooms, breakfast and a restaurant if you need it.
The ETAP brand the most basic and cheapest was re branded Ibis Budget.
Rooms are ensuite with shower, TV and free Wi-Fi and can accommodate at a pinch 3. An all you can eat breakfast buffet is available.
The All Seasons brand is now known as Ibis Styles.
In the Ibis hierarchy these are positioned slightly above the main Ibis brand with an attempt to bring some style and space into the core functional Ibis room and hotel.
There is normally a full restaurant and the hotel rate is fully inclusive of breakfast. Ibis Styles hotels are more suitable to families.

The Environment Agency has reported that the level of the River Colne in Watford on Saturday was the second highest on record.
The only time it has been higher was in October 2000.
Although levels remain high, they have continued to fall since Saturday.
However, they remain highly sensitive to any significant rainfall as the surrounding area is saturated.
The agency will continue to monitor the situation as further unsettled weather is forecast for this week.

Key Issues Covered with Superintendent's Student Cabinet
Syosset Superintendent of Schools Dr. Tom Rogers and members of the central administration held their second meeting of the year with the 2016-17 Superintendent's Student Cabinet to follow up on earlier discussions and to hear additional feedback from students representing every Syosset school in order to identify ways to further improve the education program for them.
The Superintendent's Student Cabinet is comprised of student ambassadors from Syosset High School; Harry B. Thompson and South Woods Middle Schools; and all seven district elementary schools.
Some of the key issues addressed included high school cabinet members being asked whether they felt there were benefits to changing school start times to allow for additional sleep (opinions were mixed); middle school students providing their thoughts on sharing assignments using Google Drive (mostly positive); and elementary students' thoughts about Chromebook use in the classroom (with the real time help provided by teachers proving to be a great benefit).
"We constantly take what we learn each year and refine it for future years," said Dr. Rogers. "These students are the pioneers of new technology offerings and their feedback will help guide us on the best use of devices and applications as well as many other significant issues to improve the quality of education and quality of life in all of our schools."

Ben Affleck Covers GQ "Men of the Year" December 2012
Adding to his success in the film industry, Ben Affleck was named "Filmmaker of the Year" landing him a cover spot on the "Men of the Year" December 2012 issue of GQ magazine.
Proving he's aging well, the 40-year-old actor showed off a little chest hair as he posed for the Sebastian Kim shot spread while opening up about being a director, his relationship with wife Jennifer Garner, and his friendship with Matt Damon.
A few highlights from Mr. Affleck's interview are as follows. For more, be sure to pay a visit to GQ!
On his drive for success:
"I lived with this tremendous fear of failure, because my father was a playwright and a director, and I think he did a couple of things as a child as an actor as well, and he...he failed, basically. Not just being an alcoholic and stuff. He didn't do what he said he was going to do. He worked with guys who later became famous, like James Woods and Dustin Hoffman, and he wasn't successful. And that wasn't going to be me."
On being childhood friends with Matt Damon:
"I was littler and I was younger, but I had done acting, and that's something that Matt wanted to do. That's the thing I had. He had the perfect look—blond-sweet-all-American-boy kind of face. I remember, we both decided that the ideal career to have was Robert Duvall's."
On becoming a director:
"I appreciate the fact that I get to do it, and I work really, really hard. I went into it thinking, 'I'm new at this,' but I also went into it with a healthy sense that I needed to succeed, and the one thing I could control was to work as hard or harder than anyone else."
On his wife, Jennifer Garner being a wonderful partner and mother:
"It was a really, really good thing that happened to me around the time that it was nice to have something good happen, and she's just a great woman and a great friend. She has such wise and certain stewardship over these three characters that I love so much."

In a strong sense, neither. -qnorm- is the best "test" of normality,
in my view.
Also, the assumptions of these methods are at most that conditional
distributions are normally distributed, not marginal distributions.

Fashion buy: Faux leather lace up
The lace up style and patent effect are doing it for us, and we love that they're fashionable and comfy. Our favourite combo!
Blood red is a stand out hue, but if you're more into neutrals this style is also available in black, white and pink, so take your pick.
Team with a prim 'n proper dress for eccentric dressing at its finest, or go all out grunge with black skinnies and plenty of chunky silver jewellery and studded accessories.
Faux leather lace up
Available from Linzi Shoes

the price was reasonable and location was right off I-85 bathroom was banged up - stucco ceiling and walls falling apart shower barely worked beds are shot unidentifiable aroma in the main hallway I would not recommend bringing a family here
The price was good The room was dirty
The staff was nice. The smell was horrible. There was honestly no difference in the smoking and non smoking rooms because the building smelled horrendous. The rooms looked as if house keeping had cleaned the rooms but many of the fixtures were dirty. WE DID NOT EVEN USE THE BATHROOM. IT WAS HORRIBLE.
the place was clean. The bed and tv was decent . The welcome was warm and friendly. The price was great. I've seen a lot worse for that low price. the blanket was incredibly thin. The breakfast was extremely limited. They didn't even have OJ.
Pet friendly hotel that has a lot of value for the price. Location is right of of I-85 and gets you into Charlotte quickly. Full trash bags (from all of room cleanings) were left in the stairwell between 1st and 2nd floor for both days we stayed. Not sure if they were ever taken out, but they made the entire hallway smell!
The staff
I only need a place to sleep on my long drives between Florida and the midwest. This is the perfect place to stop coming back form Florida because it is beyond the heavy rush hour morning commuter traffic of Charlotte as I continue north and west in the morning. The rooms are small in all Microtel's, hence the name, but always clean, comfortable and in good repair. It is a no-frills chain, but that is all a weary traveler really needs. The breakfasts are usually a waste of time to even look at, but if dry cereal and day-old bagles appeal to you...you are in luck here. However, there are always plenty of places nearby to grab some breakfast for the road. Dunkin' Donuts is only about 2 minutes away.
This hotel is right off Intersate 77. I felt safe. The room was clean. Free HBO & On Demand TV Friendly staff Exercise room with Treadmill, Elliptical, & Stationary Bike Waffle House & Circle K within walking distance Great WiFi Don't expect a great breakfast...coffee, donuts, cereal. For what you pay you shouldn't expect more than this. 2nd stay (Tuesday) had no Non-Smoking rooms available even though the parking lot was empty. Room did not smell too bad, but a cigarette burn on the toilet seat is unacceptable.
Absolutely nothing. We booked a double room and only got a single. The room was dirty and had a weird smell. The staff was very rude and very unhelpful. The management staff does not care about the customers at all. I would not recommend this hotel to anybody.
The room was clean and the staff was friendly. Stayed two nights and I would stay there again and recommend it. The evening clerk on Saturday and Sunday was very nice and helpful.
Make sure you check out on time or you will be hazed by the housekeepers and maintenance crew until you leave your room. Starting at 11:01!! Manager never acknowledged anybody it she just let the staff do the "dirty work" All was fine until checkout time arrived :-)
The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. The location provides easy access to the interstate, restaurants and gas stations. Th towels were rough (even by hotel standards) and the toilet paper was rough and oddly located.
The location I didn't like the staff they were very rude and wasn't very accomendating
We stopped here after a very stressful drive and were highly disappointed. The room wasn't very clean, the shower did not work, and the breakfast was only offered until 9 A.M. When I walked in with my 2 young daughters to check out and get them something to eat at 9:20, the clerk wouldn't even offer us cereal. I told her about the shower and she offered a key to another room which wasn't practical at that point, but no apology. There are several other places to stay in the same price range. We will not stay here again.
The night shift clerk was awesome. Everything. The bed spread was ripped. There were holes in the walls from missing pictures. The carpet was dirty. I didnt even thinknabout getting in the shower. I could go on and on....
clean rooms helpful staff maid service good mini fridge microwave coffeepot great place for the money
Friendly staff Bathtub did not drain
Nothing Major upgrades needed in aspect
Price appears $1 low to any other place but if you choose this hotel based on this, you won't forgive yourself Good for one night stay. Truck driver's. Don't expect much from here even the basics like decent toilet Broken toilet Intruder? Uninvited service? Don't know who. Some one did enter into my room in my absence and luckily did nothing. Low standards and you see many people with pick up trucks and lot of junk in it. Free breakfast has just little milk and cereals. Nothing else. The morning staff is rude. They tried to teach me how to make a waffle. No kitchen items, it's just a hotel not extended stay. Bath tub is yuk. Overall I give this place 0.5 out of 5
Staff person on night duty (Amber) was polite, helpful and good-natured. Morning staff was similarly cheerful, friendly, and professional. Several lighting fixtures didn't work; coffee maker supplies but no coffee maker; sink stopper wouldn't close, which makes shaving a challenge; tiny, worn bath towels barely large enough to wrap around a 32" waist, and only two per room instead of the standard three; cheap mattress where you could feel the individual mattress coils; bath spigot loose as if about to fall off of the shower wall; shower curtain bar similarly loose; practically everything worn and frayed. Outside of room: cigarette butts litter the stairs, walks, vending areas; breakfast service limited and low quality. Lastly, the place doesn't feel safe. Vending machines have wire security mesh riveted in place over the glass to prevent theft; after hours the staff transact business through a small, dirty window facing the parking area unless they feel safe enough to buzz customers in through the security doors. The place suffers from a lack of management attention, care and commitment to basic plant maintenance and operating procedure. Don't stay here.
The staff was great! The facilities are basic and minimal. I don't recommend a place for kids due to the area. The area
The guy at the front desk seemed friendly The location is not great, 15 minute drive unless you want fast food, room was trash, air didn't work, cracked front window in my room, walls were falling apart, room smelled like cigars and smoke. I got a refund and left as soon as I walked into the room.
Close to main highway. Also cleanliness. Felt like I was going to fall threw shower floor. Couldnt talk to most staff due to not being bilingual. Didn't know area to find stores & restaurants.
Interior hallways. Friendly staff
The staff was very friendly and the room was very clean. The room needed updating, especially the tv - it was on the fritz but I didn't care- I just needed a safe place to lay my head down and this was perfect.
I was traveling alone and I felt very safe at this facility. Everyone was very helpful and friendly. The room was well appointed. No
When I told them I need something they gave it to us. They didnt come and clean the room. After I told them I need some sheets. They went in but they didn't make the bed or nothing

Not too expensive Front desk attendant was not helpful or willing to look for my reservation since I did not have a confirmation # with me
I loved the location and the room with separate bedrooms along with the great kitchen area with utensils to use. This hotel was great!!
Location Door latch didn't work properly
The bed was exceedingly comfortable. When we had concerns*, Hotel employee could not have been more competent and courteous. The young woman at the desk was friendly and helpful. *Remote didn't work. No bedside light on one side. The shower curtain and the side next to the toilet could use a bit of a clean.
The rooms were set up nicely No
Nice and quiet location. I wish there were more parking up front and it would have been great if they had parking behind the hotel where you could also enter through the back door but there was not even a back door. You had to walk around to the front door.
It was very quiet and the location was very convenient for my family. It is near a lot of restaurants and shopping areas. The hotel was completely booked and there was limited parking for everyone. My second night there we had to park in front of the office near the curb. There was no where else to park.
This guest did not leave comments about this hotel.
Location Some staff was good, others didn't have a clue what was going on. Ants and mildew in room.
room and amenities were not in good repair
It was clean and Fridge with freezer in room was nice . Easy access to 77. I felt safe in the parking lot and there where some food choices close by. The part of town wasn't the greatest not terrible but not the greatest either . I would stay more to the south part of town next time near Carowinds . We found better rates in that area too.The pool was small and like a fish bowl.When the hotel was full on Saturday it took 20 minutes to get hot water in the shower and when it wasnt full on Sunday it took 10 minutes still.
The breakfast. The hotel itself. No smoking The night staff man

The rooms were better than I expected. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom was clean. I'd definitely would stay they again. The parking was a bit much due to them not having enough slots.
Location was nice The hotel was not very clean. The room was aweful! (Small, bed spread had cigarette burns.)
When I checked out and saw the hotel in my rear view mirror. I booked two rooms with an adult and a child in each room. There was only one wash cloth in each room. When we asked for two more wash clothes, we were told we had to exchange the original ones that were in the room.
Price of reservation After a bad first night, everything in the room just felt dirty (even the floor), nothing I could do to cancel my second night. I went ahead and turned in my keys after the first night and drove home a day early.
Family owned. The family members/staff were very friendly and accommodating. They did what they could to make me happy. The first night there, I asked them to change my sheets because they appeared to be unclean, most likely, not changed after last client. The night clerk moved me to another room instead. I asked to be moved the next morning because of the I-85 traffic and the noisy air conditioner. They moved me with a happily. The building needed a lot of maintenance. The common areas were substandard and not very presentable. The halls and elevator was not air conditioned. The provided breakfast was really substandard. No vending machines. Ice only. The one thing that really bothered me was the dirty carpets through out the building and the rooms. The rooms and halls need paint. I would not recommend to my friends or family.
The pool was literally empty. And had been for awhile, we weren't told this upon booking. And the "restaurant" in the hotel was closed windows boarded up and had looked appandoned for some time. We had to ask to have our room cleaned after two nights of staying, with no house keeping service.
To begin with, when we arrived, the man working the desk insisted that Travel online didn't actually charge my card, that they just hold it, and then the hotel charges the card. Hence, I was double charged for the room. And to top it off, the guy wouldn't even give me a total price for the room! He said that he couldn't quote it until they got all the incidentals in the morning. (After 2 calls to Travel online, Travel online has fixed this.) If I hadn't been about to crash and my husband hadn't been sick, we would've left. We'd already paid for the room once, we figured. It's not in a great part of town. The bathroom door in our room wouldn't close because the doorknob was ripped from the door- the bottom of the door was dented where someone had appearently kicked the door in. The room smelled ok, and was appearently clean. The bed was not uncomfortable. When I pulled back the coverlet on the bed, though, there was a hair on the sheets (used the other bed). We slept with a chair under ...
They would not give me a room on the first floor. The staff member who helped me was rued. The bbreakfast was very poor, and the guy kept locking the door to the breakfast room.
We had reservations at a local Ramada Inn and, when we saw it, we refused to stay there. The Rodeway was right around the corner and we had a wonderful 5 night stay. It is an inexpensive motel but is a great value for the money. It has all you would expect from such a place. The staff is courteous and friendly and the rooms were very clean. We intend to go back to the same event next year and look forward to staying here again.
You know you've made a mistake in choosing a hotel when you go to check in and you are directed by a handwritten sign to the 'night window'. Problems 1. Very old and outdated , see pictures 2. Not in the university place area 3. Unsafe area Pros 1. Large room 2. Refrigerator 3. Free WiFi Just not worth the risk and inconvenience.
This hotel was pretty nice, and a good deal for the cost. The bed was comfortable, the shower had excellent pressure, and the room was a good size. The staff were also very friendly. The only down side about this hotel was the location in a shady part of town.
It was clean, quiet and inexpensive No
Service desk person was great. Very helpful.the room was clean and very decent considering the lower rates. Overall I rate the place a high 9+
This hotel had a comfortable bed, microwave, refrigerator and a clean bathroom at an economical price. For the money, it is the best I have stayed, and I travel a lot!
