Unchanged for the past 11 months, a proposed new strategic plan for the East Baton Rouge Parish school system is set to get a big makeover over the next month.
"My goal is to make sure we have this adopted by the end of the year," Superintendent Bernard Taylor said Wednesday.
Taylor said a 33-member Committee for Educational Excellence, made up of local business and community leaders, did a "stellar job" on the plan and that its many recommendations all help the effort to improve student achievement.
Taylor, however, gave the committee a lot of homework, including suggesting that the plan include more focus on technology, how its recommendations can be paid for, consider how its recommendations can be measured, and that it re-examine its call for renewed neighborhood attendance zones.
The committee developed this strategic plan throughout much of 2011 and released a draft version in December. It sat on the shelf while the School Board searched for new superintendent, a search that led to the hiring of Taylor, who started Blunt, co-chairman of the committee and an attorney. "A lot of work to do."
The far-reaching document suggests giving principals greater say in the teachers they hire and more control of their school budgets. The document also suggests automatic firing of teachers whose students show the least growth in test scores, firing of principals who fail to meet three-year performance goals, higher pay to teachers willing to work in struggling schools, as well as greater openness to innovation and school choice.
About 30 people, including several School Board members, were in the audience Wednesday in a meeting room at the school system's Professional Development Center on North Sherwood Forest Drive to discuss the draft plan. A few audience members dominated the discussion, offering a diverse number of suggested changes.
School Board member Jill Dyason had problems with a passage in the draft plan suggesting that students be able to choose to attend "any school in the district" as long as they met that school's entrance requirements. She read from an email of a person who had attended the meetings on that topic and felt it didn't reflect what was discussed then.
Mattie Coxe, a parent, suggested the school system should move away from schools with entrance requirements because they relegate some students to a worse education.
"At one time we called them white schools and colored schools," Coxe said. "Now we are referring to them using a new nomenclature and we call them magnet schools and traditional schools. But it's the same system."
Taylor was uncomfortable with the document's call for more neighborhood schools. He said he is in the middle of developing some proposals that wouldn't mesh with those parts of the plan.
"We're trying to move away from a notion of an attendance zone to an attendance region," he said.
Beverly Trahan, a grandparent of a student in the school system, said the school system should protect its pre-kindergarten classes from testing mania.
"We're moving the prep for testing further down to early ages so that teachers don't have time to focus on the things we should be focusing on," Trahan said.
Stephen Stewart, a former teacher in the school system, was unimpressed with the plan.
"This is very generic," Stewart said. "These are methods that have been employed since the public education system has existed in America."
School Board President Barbara Freiberg said the draft plan is broad on purpose, that educators will flesh it out later with specific initiatives.
"The education meat to these tactics is where the EBR staff comes in," she said.
Despite his critiques, Taylor said the strategic plan will help him do his job better.
"This plan has a lot of promise, and it is going to be a blueprint for how we move forward," he said.
The draft plan and supporting documents are posted on the school system's website at http://news.ebrschools.org/explore.cfm/ebrstrategicplan/.in June.
"We've got a lot of work to do," said Dennis

Residents are "fighting back" against parking problems caused by students at a nearby college.
Rebecca Price, 34, of Sedgemoor in Farnborough, has lived in the road for around 10 years and said in the last year, residents have experienced "major issues" with students from The Sixth Form College Farnborough, in Prospect Avenue, parking in their road.
She said: "We struggle with severe parking issues down our road with the college students and they park nose-to-tail all the way down the road because at the moment it's the only non-permit road.
"They cover walkways and park on bends. The other day someone moved my bins out the way and stuffed their car in my space and I came back to find I had nowhere to park."
She also claimed residents received "abuse", adding: "They swear at us when we ask them to move."
One resident put up a notice in the road to try and prevent students parking at the side of her house, however, Mrs Price said it was pulled down and thrown on the floor.
Sedgemoor residents submitted a petition calling for a review into parking arrangements to Rushmoor Borough Council last week. It was signed by all 25 households.
Students have to display a permit to park on the campus or in some nearby roads, with the exception of Sedgemoor.
Mrs Price said: "We're trying to fight back against the parking scheme, we're not saying no to students completely, we just want to limit the spaces they can have."
John Trusler, from the council's traffic management group, said there have been issues with student parking for years. A permit scheme was implemented for the roads around the college in 2010 but Sedgemoor was not included.
Mr Trusler said: "We have had contact from residents with regard to a growing number of students parking in Sedgemoor. We were aware we already had a college parking programme for the year so we had a brief consultation as to whether they would now like to be part of the scheme, however, there wasn't a clear majority.
"We continued to see a growth in the level of students parking in Sedgemoor and continued to get contact from residents in the road.
"Residents have subsequently raised concerns with the parking proposal, feeling it is detrimental, and we have agreed we will go back and review that in conjunction with residents to see if we can find a solution."
Simon Jarvis, principal of The Sixth Form College Farnborough, said the college has actively encouraged students to use public transport and has worked with the council to ensure students park safely and responsibly.
He said: "All students are aware of the parking arrangements, as are their parents.
"Unfortunately, there are a small minority who park their cars outside the allocated areas, but do so quite legally."

I had malar implants 14 months ago. More days than not each week I have some minor swelling under one eye. Mainly I can just feel it more than see it. It seems that Ibuprofin may help, as well as Bromelain, but I have not really done a "challenge study". Is this very common? What could cause this?
Swelling Still over a Year After Cheek Implants?
Doctor Answers 2
Swelling Still over a Year After Cheek Implants?
I have used cheek implants for cheek augmentation for over 25 years and no, this isn't normal. The majority of the swelling from cheek implants typically decreases in the first month and the area should be completely healed at 3-6 months. It might be that the upper edge of the cheek implant is too close to the lower eyelids or to the infra-orbital nerve. This would explain the sensation of "feeling" instead of seeing the swelling. There shouldn't be any swelling at 14 months post-op. Hope this helps.

Swelling Over 1 Year After Implants Is Not Common
Good day,
Typically swelling after malar implants will resolve well under 14 months. I typically see the swelling is 90% resolved around 4 to 5 months.
It is possible that ibuprofen or bromelain may help swelling as you describe. Ibuprofen and bromelain are both anti-inflammatory agents. Anytime you havei an implant placed, there can be an inflammatory reaction around it or worse a low level infection. If you had redness, foul taste, or a warmth around the area, then these would be signs you may have a low level infection. I would see a specialist to examine the area to ensure that this has not occurred.
I hope this helps!

Have Toyota Questions? Ask a Mechanic for Answers ASAP
Hello. Welcome to Just Answer. Please allow me to assist you. Can you go out the the vehcile and perform a small test right now?
Sorry, no. I am at work at not near my car.
Sorry to hear that you are having issues.
When you get to the car, please do the following:
Take the smart key, and hold it right above the start button. Make sure the smart key is touching the dash, right above the start button. THe biggest flat part right against the dash.
Hold the smart key on the dash, as described above, and push the start button. Please advise if the car starts.
Do you have a idea of when you will be able to try the procedure?
OK, I will try that later today - around 6:00 PM Denver time.
I had another question if you dont' mind - when I replaced the battery in both Smartkeys and reinserted the key, a red light flashed for several seconds. Is that normal, or is perhaps an indication that I replaced the battery incorrectly?
OK. I will check back in then and see how you make out. Note that cell phones, laptops, iPads, etc all "transmit", and, if the smart key is in their proximity, the smart key battery will lose its charge rapidly.
That is good to know about battery life being affected by other devices.. The battery lasted 2-3/4 years so I don't have any major complaints about that!
Not sure about the blinking....sorry. When I change the batteries, I never paid attention.....
Have to look at that next time. Nothing comes to mind that it is a negative issue though
As long as the locks lock and unlock with the button, the battery is in correctly.
Do you have any further questions for me at this time?
Thanks - I will check to see whether I can unlock the car with the button later today.
I will check back in around 6 PM Denver time. Talk to you then.

The SoJO 104.9 'National Running Day' Playlist Part II
So Heather DeLuca created a Playlist for National Running Day, but I am the creator of the weekly version of "The Playlist", so I believe the challenge is on. Guess where we are going this week – but we do this by the rules of "The Playlist".
If you have never seen The Playlist, the challenge every week for me is to tie 20 songs around a specific theme, and the theme pops up somewhere in the song somehow. The songs can come from anywhere so long there were some sort of hit, and we try not to date ourselves too much but some weeks are unavoidable.
So the theme is Running, and Heather has created a grid for "Warm-Up", "Jog", "Run", and "Cool Down". I have 20 songs that fit this grid and the theme.
You will see that this version of The Playlist is born to run, will go the distance, and find ourselves finishing an 8 mile journey – are your ready? Let's start with our Warmup:
Bon Jovi — Runaway (that's what we are going to do, and we start with some Jersey guys)
Lady Antebellum — I Run To You (good stretch here as we are just getting started)
Collective Soul — Run ("I have a long way to run", and we are ready to Jog)
Bryan Adams — Run To You (feel the Heart pumping)
Heart — Who Will You Run To (building up some momentum)
Republica — Ready To Go (I think we are ready to Run)
Chris Brown — Run It (pace is quickening)
Lenny Kravitz — Always On The Run (hitting your stride)
Real McCoy — Runaway (you are running away now!)
Maroon 5 — Harder To Breathe (feeling your breathing getting heavier)
Salt N' Pepa — Push It (now you have to push yourself)
Survivor — Eye Of The Tiger (imagine Rocky in the greatest running scene in movie history!)
Eminem — Lose Yourself (which is what you should be doing in this 8 Mile jaunt)
Bruce Springsteen — Born To Run (The Boss says yes you are!)
Cake — The Distance (you made it, so now we Cool Down)
Run-DMC/Aerosmith —Walk This Way (feel the burn from the Run as you Walk)
Matchbox 20 — How Far We've Come (look back and see what you accomplished)
U2 — Walk On (breathe it in!)
Gym Class Heroes — A** Back Home (stealing this one from Heather because you are done, and you can get back in your house and down some sports drink)
Give us your Running playlist by clicking here, and look at Heather's list. I'll stand by mine!

K.K.5 Stars Out Of 5Genius!March 24, 2012K.K.Quality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5Ed Dunlop is a genius! You will be in awe as you begin to uncover how he ties together scripture with the smallest detail. The more I read, the more I wonder how much I missed. Probably why my 9 yr. old son is rereading the set...after he jumped ahead of our "family reading" and read the whole series in a matter of days! You will not be disappointed! I am getting just as much out of these as my children! Very convicting...but in a gentle way! Thought provoking! You could easily turn this into family devotion time! If I could only pick one book (other than the Bible)to buy for my children, I'd pick one of these!
barb5 Stars Out Of 5April 14, 2008barbThis is an amazing set of books. Parents, if you want to see what faith truly is, or how to serve God and be yielded to His will, these books are a must read! My 9 year old daughter read the whole set of books in a matter of days, and told me that she now understands the Bible better. I can say, without any reservation, that she is right. This series of books does help you understand the Bible better. Do not miss out on a great allegory, even better and easier to understand than Pilgrim's Progress.
Pastor Jeff Harris5 Stars Out Of 5February 27, 2008Pastor Jeff HarrisMy family has been reading the Terrestria Chronicles together as a family. We have family devotions each morning but in the evening after the supper meal, the children know that they need to clear the table quickly so they can sit and listen to me read the book to the family. We are now on book 4. The children love the Terrestria books! I love the books! They are great. I am purchasing a few more sets with the study guide to be able to give to some of our church families. I believe every Christian should read these books. They have deepened my love for my Saviour. Although the books are fiction the analogies they hold have inflamed my love and zeal for the Lord. These books keep you on the edge of your seat with excitement and anticipation. You find yourself saddened when Josiah goes the wrong way and feel excited when he gets right with the King. These books typify the Christian life and the struggles that are faced. With every trial there is truth to be learned on how to overcome. These books are not just for children but even the seasoned Christian should read and reread these books to keep their love and devotion to the Lord fresh. I wholeheartedly recommend these books.
Barb5 Stars Out Of 5February 9, 2008BarbThe truths portrayed in these books are amazing! The author has made the Christian walk come alive in story form that grips the imagination, but also teaches and convicts those with a "hearing ear". Our entire family is enjoying these books and we are recommending them to everyone!
Meg Annunziata5 Stars Out Of 5February 7, 2008Meg AnnunziataMy family is a reading family. We have read the series and can say without reservation that this is the best read we have ever come across! This faith building allegory will keep you ruminating on its content all day! We don't want to put the book down and stop at the end of a chapter, but we will so that we can just enjoy and absorb what has unfolded in each chapter. These stories are captivating for adults, teens and children alike. They have stimulated not only great spiritual conversations in our home...but discussions about the adventures within the stories! A side interest about "castles" is also developing! I recommend this series to everyone...Christian or otherwise! They are POWERFUL!
Author/Artist Review▼▲
Author: Ed Dunlop
Located in: Ringgold, GA
Submitted: January 16, 2008
Tell us a little about yourself. I am a children's evangelist, a father, and a grandfather. I grew up in home with no TV--therefore, I learned to love books. In the last few years, it has been a huge thrill to be able to write books that kids (and their parents) will enjoy.
What was your motivation behind this project? The Terrestria Chronicles were written to glorify the King, to cause young adult readers to love Him with all their hearts, and to challenge them to guard their hearts for Him. Sure, there are knights and castles, fierce dragons, beautiful princesses and a lot of other exciting story elements, but the focus of the series is always on the King.
What do you hope folks will gain from this project? I hope that my readers will gain a sense of wonder when they realize what the King has done for them.
How were you personally impacted by working on this project? Writing this series made me realize just how wondrous it is to be set free from the slavery of sin and to be adopted by the King of kings.
Who are your influences, sources of inspiration or favorite authors / artists? Favorite authors: Bernard Palmer, Frank Peretti
Anything else you'd like readers / listeners to know: I would encourage parents to read the Terrestria series with their families rather than just handing the books to their kids or teens.

Why Can't They All Look That Way?
Ever asked yourself that question as you're looking at your latest Excel chart masterpiece?
I mean, you've just spent time creating a chart and it's just gorgeous!
You've got the colors, fonts, text alignment… all of it! It's just perfect.
Too bad you'll have to reset all those things for the next set of data.
Or… maybe not.
What if we could save all that formatting and apply it to future sets of data to be charted?
Sound good to you?
Yep, me too.
Since we're in agreement, I think we're ready to begin.
First you have to have a file open that contains a chart you really like. A chart with a set up so good you'll want to have other data charted the same way.
Got it?
Next you'll need to select the chart (click on it).
With the chart selected, go to the Chart menu, Chart Type choice.
Once the Chart Type window opens you're looking to go to the Custom Types tab.
At this point you have a decision—do you want the chart settings to be the default for this type of chart, or, do you just want to save this format for future use?
If you're looking to make this chart the default model then click the "Set as default chart type" button in the bottom left corner.
The Add Custom Chart Type window will open.
Enter a name for your custom chart at the top and a description in the bottom section. (The description is optional.)
When you've entered the information click OK.
You'll be returned to the Chart Type window where, if you click on the "User-defined" radial button (above the default button), you'll see your new custom chart is in the list.
Also, if you click on the default chart at the top of the list you'll find it's there too!
Now, for those charts with formatting you want to save but not set as the default you'll still need to select the chart, go to the Chart menu, Chart Type choice and then click over to the Custom Types tab.
This time immediately select the "User-defined" radial button.
Below you should notice that the Add button just became active – click it.
The Add Custom Chart Type window will open allowing you to name the chart.
When everything's set click OK.
Back to the Chart Type window again—click OK to finish.
Next time you're looking to chart some data you should find your new custom settings available to you under the Custom Types tab—bypassing the need for all the monotonous work of tweaking all the settings.
Got the perfect chart?
Well now they can all be perfect with just the selection of your new Custom Chart Type!
~ April

The committal hearing of accused murderer Ron Medich is under threat after a court heard that an ''oversight'' by the NSW Crime Commission has led to the discovery of a large amount of evidence relevant to the case.
Mr Medich, accused of organising the contract killing of former business partner Michael McGurk in 2009, is to face a preliminary hearing in August.
However, defence barrister Winston Terracini SC has foreshadowed the likelihood that the hearing date may have to be vacated.
''The position is that in recent times … we have been contacted by the highest level of the NSW Crime Commission telling us that as a result of an oversight to which the new director is completely blameless, that we should have been served with a large amount of material,'' Mr Terracini told the Downing Centre Local Court.
Officers were arranging the production of the documents ''as soon as possible'' but it remained unclear when it would be received, and how much work would be required to understand its relevance and prepare it for the committal.
Magistrate Jacqueline Milledge said it sounded like it could pose a ''significant impediment'' to the progress of the matter. Mr Terracini said he would ask the matter be adjourned until April 16 for a further mention. ''We may be asking for a vacation of the committal date, with extreme reluctance.'' A number of subpoena issues were still outstanding, with argument on those to continue before Ms Milledge.
Mr Medich, a property tycoon, is on bail but not in court for the case mention. He is accused of arranging the hit on Mr McGurk, who was shot dead as he got out of his car in the driveway of his lower north shore home in September 2009.

Light and funky
Page Tools
The Apple iPod shuffle 1GB.
Apple iPod shuffle 1GB
Price: $229
Rating: * * * * ½
Website: www.apple.com.au
Apple finally takes on the entry-level MP3 players. The iPod shuffle is a brilliantly simple, funky music player with mass brand appeal. It's also very light at a mere 22g and about the size of a pack of chewing gum.
There is no type of display whatsoever, no menu system and no click wheel. In comparison, it costs only 20 per cent more than a memory card of the same capacity.
The idea is you listen to the songs in the random mode from which it derives its "shuffle" name. If you prefer your music more ordered, the shuffle has a playlist mode too. The playlists are created and organised in the iTunes player software. You can choose individual playlists to transfer to the shuffle or go completely random by clicking on the "Autofill" button and letting iTunes figure out how to fill the iPod to capacity.
Enabling the shuffle for disk use lets you store other kinds of files as well. It can be partitioned to whatever size you need at the expense of music storage space.
The shuffle is a far more convenient music player to carry around than the other iPods and it's inherently skip-free because it's flash memory-based, making it ideal for work-outs. If you don't have a pocket, it comes with a lanyard attached to the end of its interchangeable cap concealing the USB connector.
If you're going for long trips without a notebook by your side, however, its smaller memory capacity and lack of standard power adaptor (its lithium-ion battery charges directly from a USB port and an external charger is a $48 accessory) means the larger iPods are still a better bet.
It still lacks extras such as FM radio and voice recording found in some of its competitors, but the iPod gives nothing away to its big brothers in sound quality. Battery life is rated at 12 hours. A 512MB version is also available at $149.
For the average commuter, jogger, or gym-junkie the shuffle is about the coolest thing that's happened to portable music yet.

|WOWZER, this was our Pride weekend treat! we couldnВ't wait to get Luke (the-cum-geyser) Tyler, back for more and this time heВ's pitted against the super sexy, tanned hunk В– Jack Green. JackВ's a proper English man, well spoken, handsome, taut and hung with a long foreskin and a big appetite for MEN. The guys meet at the entrance to LukeВ's flat as LukeВ's out cruising for cock and JackВ's jogging up a sweat В– the lads head indoors and get straight down to snogging and feeling each others stiffening, uncut tools through the crotches of each others trousers. Luke stretches JackВ's pert buns wide and pushes both index fingers inside to pull his arse open and get it good and ready for a rigid 8 inches of uncircumcised meat. The horny lads, buck, wrestle thrash and fuck all over the sofa, with Jack presenting his twitching hole to Luke and getting it ready for fucking. After pushing back for more and more dick Jack straddles and rides the throbbing meat until he can hold back no longer and squirts all over the place. The guys lie back and Jack braces himself for whats coming, get yourselves ready gents when Luke cums he really cums, even with 3 cameras and a wide angle we couldnВ't film how far Luke squirted that juicy, sticky, yumalicious load!

Comments about Hohner Educator 10 Chromatic Harmonica:
I am still new to harmonicas but in the past 5 months I have bought 9 harmonicas. Hohner, Suzuki, Lee Oskar, and they all are great harmonicas, but I play keyboard so was missing those extra notes you can't get on the diatonic. Read the reviews on the Educator 10 and decided to go for it. Boy, I was pleasantly suprised. It is a great harmonica for such a reasonable price. Plays great and I love being able to play some of those missing notes. Still love all my diatonic harmonicas though. The Educator 10 helps complete my collection. You can not go wrong with this harmonica.
Comments about Hohner Educator 10 Chromatic Harmonica:
This is my first chromatic so I really don't have any previous experience to draw upon. What i can say is that it is very easy to play, about the same as most of my diatonics, better than a few. If you are new to harmonica or are thinking about getting your first chromatic, then this should be your choice. Dollar for dollar, there is no better deal out there anywhere on a 10 hole chromatic.
Comments about Hohner Educator 10 Chromatic Harmonica:
I'm a new harmonica player. It' much easier to carry around than my banjo! I have purchased about 4 new harmonicas and this Educator 10 is by far the best of the lot. It played perfectly right out of the box, no weak notes, no off key notes, and I love the chromatic feature. I like the heavy duty zipper case, too. My Hohner Special 20 in G is also a good one, but I prefer the Educator 10. Hard to believe you can get this quality for so little cash. My first purchase, the Hurricane 1248 Chromatica, was a real disappointment. Upper notes required far too much wind to be playable.

Chicago Fire
3,201 Fans
No job is more stressful, dangerous or exhilarating than those of the Firefighters, Rescue Squad and Paramedics of Chicago Firehouse 51. These are the courageous men and women who forge headfirst into danger when everyone else is running the other way. But the enormous responsibilities of the job also take a personal toll.
Trivia Facts | Top Quotes | Goofs/Mistakes
- Taylor Kinney and David Eigenberg also starred in Five (2011) (TV).
- The Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBAs) worn by the cast are Scott 4.5 Air-Pak 75s. This is one of the most popular brands and models of SCBA with fire departments across America for its durability, reliability, and ease of use. However, the masks worn by the cast members are unrealistic. They are nonfunctional and were made specifically for the series with the anti-fog interior facepiece and exterior voice amplifier removed, the lens elongated, and the regulator mounted at an odd angle to clearly show the actors' faces. These masks would fog badly if they were actually flowing air. Real SCBA masks are put on separately from the regulator, which is connected after the mask is on, and disconnected before the mask is removed. The air demand and exhalation valves make a loud noise when operating, and muffle the voice of the wearer.
- The Fire Engine is Truck Number "51". That is the same number as the Fire Station (Truck and Rescue Squad) on NBC's Emergency!.
- In Season 3 all firefighters can be seen wearing Harris radios. Actual Chicago firefighters wear Motorola Solutions APX radios.
- Dora Madison played Alissa "Jelly Bean" Martin in "Chicago P.D." (2014) {Call It Macaroni (#2.1)}, before she was introduced as Jessica "Chili" Chilton, a paramedic, in "Chicago Fire" (2012) {We Called Her Jellybean (#3.21)}. Her "Chili" character did not appear in Chicago P.D.
- Filmed in Chicago. Firehouse 51 is actually Station 18, which is located at 1360 S. Blue Island Ave in Chicago. "Molly's Bar," owned by characters Herman, Dawson, and Otis, is filmed in the real Chicago bar "Lottie's" in Bucktown.
- Christian Stolte, Joe Minoso and DuShon Monique Brown had minor roles in Prison Break. Stolte and Brown had recurring roles as Corrections Officer Keith Stolte and Nurse Katie Welch. Minoso played a Video Technician, Chaz Fink in an episode of season 1.
- Taylor Kinney and Steven R. McQueen previously appeared together in The Vampire Diaries, where Kinney had a recurring and McQueen a regular role.
- Some scenes which take place in the Firehouse 51 kitchen are filmed in the actual firehouse kitchen, others are filmed on a studio set. If you see a door to the left of the cooking area, that is the studio set; if you see a drinking fountain, that's the actual firehouse.
- Before starring as Firefighter Peter Mills, Charlie Barnett guest appeared in Dick Wolf's show Law & Order: Special Victims Unit in the episode "Gray" as Chuck Mills, a rapist, and in the Law & Order: Criminal Intent episode "Cadaver" as Dr. Sam Harris.
- Jesse Spencer (Casey) was a series regular on House as Dr. Chase.
- SPOILER: In season 2 Heather Darden mentioned a women named Sylvie, in season 3 a paramedic was introduced as Sylvie Brett.
- Season 1 features a story arc in which Joe Cruz lets a gang member die by inaction. He goes to Lt. Casey (Jesse Spencer) to confess. Season 6 of House featured a story arc where Jesse Spencer's character Dr. Robert Chase committed a similar act.
- Some of the cast reappear in other Chicago shows as different characters for example Charlie Babbo (Ben Darrden) play a little boy who gets badly injured during a car accident in Chicago Med. All though these are two different characters they are both called Ben
- The diabetic tree chopper's hat says Toppel tree service. This is a reference to the show's Greens Foreman Debra Toppel.
- During filming of the plane crash rescue sequence, WGN, a Chicago TV station, was apparently unaware. When WGN's traffic chopper came upon the location, they believed that an actual crash had occurred and broke into their news broadcast to cover it. This went on for several minutes before it was brought to their attention that this was being done for a television show.
- The man holding the Stanley Cup is wearing a jacket with the Hockey Hall of Fame symbol on it. The HHoF is located in Toronto.
- This episode served as a backdoor pilot for the proposed series Chicago PD.
- The other firehouse being considered for closure in addition to Firehouse 51 is Firehouse 17 from Backdraft, NBC Universal's first foray into the Chicago Fire Department.
- Part 1 of "Chicago P.D" season 1, episode12 "8:30 P.M" crossover
- When they show the plaque and date of death for Leslie Elizabeth Shay, it's May 13, 2014, the date the final episode of season 2 aired.
- This was part one of a two-night, three episode crossover with Law & Order: Special Victims Unit and Chicago PD.
- Part 1 of crossover with Chicago PD's episode "A Little Devil Complex".
- Matthew Del Negro (Interim Chief Pat Pridgen) and Melissa Ponzio (Donna Robbins) both appeared _Teen Wolf_, in which their characters were married.
- SPOILER: This episode was the backdoor pilot for a proposed spin-off called Chicago Med.
- SPOILER: Final appearance (as yet) of Charlie Barnett as Paramedic Peter Mills, it is unknown whether he will return to the show in the future
- This episode was part of 3 episode crossover with Chicago PD and Law & Order: SVU.
- SPOILER: This episode reveals that Chili's sister Jellybean was Alissa Martin from "Chicago P.D." (2014) {Call It Macaroni (#2.1)}, whom Dora Madison also portrayed.
- At the end of the episode, the guys say they are going to get "gas" in the truck, even though fire engines are diesel engines not gas engines. Made more evident when they start the engine, obviously a diesel engine. Diesel fuel is never referred to as gasoline.
- SPOILER: Grand entrance for new candidate Jimmy Borrelli, played by Steven R McQueen. Riding to the firehouse in a speeding Mustang. Perhaps an homage to his grandfather Steve McQueen's "Bullitt" (1968).

Diary of a firefighter
With the Fire Brigades Union's decision to call off their first two planned strikes, what's the atmosphere like in fire stations? Hereford firefighter Nigel Stroud will be keeping a diary of the working day in weeks to come.
Saturday, 26 October
1800: The first half of the evening was fairly quiet for myself and the other firefighters, catching up on paperwork, fire reports and various other bits of bureaucracy. Some of the guys had training to keep them up to date with street names, areas, and maps.
One of the guys is an ex-chef so he prepared a meal, we thought it would be our 'last supper' before going out on strike, but as it happens it won't be necessary as yet. We're very relieved about that, it's been a stressful couple of weeks.
1200: We got called out to our county hospital because the winds had started to pick up and set their automatic fire alarm off. There was no obvious fire but we had to search the building and make sure it was safe. The other crew at the station had a small kitchen fire in a residential home they'd forgotten they'd put the meat in the oven and that had smoke-logged the building.
1400: I got called out to an outlying village to a transformer on a big pole - a cable had come adrift from it and was lashing about in the wind and sparking off everything that touched it. That was quite dramatic - like a miniature thunderstorm because it was pouring down with rain and high winds, so we had to clear a few people away from local properties.
1500: On the way back to the station we had a couple of automatic fire alarms go off at a local engineering firm - their fire detection system involves laser beams going across the warehouse and because of the high winds the building was moving so breaking the contacts - that's quite a common occurance in high winds.
1500-1700: Called to a couple of telegraph poles which had ignited. Again because of the high winds, branches were coming off the trees and brushing against cables moving around in the wet, causing them to short and set light to the poles. There's nothing much we can do with those things - we can use carbon dioxide extinguishers making the area safe and move any people away from the area, but we basically have to wait until the electric board turns up.
0630: In another residential home we went to rescue an elderly gentleman stuck in a lift. He was quite shaken. I think it sparked off by a power cut but it did take a while for anyone to raise the alarm. He was quite alarmed at being stuck in a confined space so we calmed him down and had to wind the lift back up.
0700: Traffic accident, luckily nobody badly hurt.
0830: A large mature tree had fallen on a house. Although it hadn't collapsed the building there was a bit of a safety risk to the occupants because it was very precariously balanced. With the aid of a neighbour who is a forester we cleared all the dangerous branches away and finally got back to the station about 10:30 this morning.
11:00: Get home to find one of the trees in my front garden has come down across the pavement so I'll need to deal with that before I get to bed!
Wednesday, 23 October
We are quite understaffed at the moment and our usual team of 18 is down to 10, some junior officers are on leave and one is on a course.
One-sub officer is in charge, supported by three leading officers. However, one is on detachment, one is on leave and the other is on long-term sick leave so that has meant myself and another junior officer are presently acting up as leading officers.
0900: The shift starts and the first hour this morning was spent dealing with administration - working out rotas and leave for the firefighters while the rest of the watch checked and tested the equipment. Various standard tests always need to be completed especially with the breathing apparatus and the vehicles.
The night watch had had to attend a road traffic accident and at the end of their shift returned to the station with specialist equipment which needed to be cleaned and serviced.
Hereford is the only full-time station for the area, the other stations are part-time, so it does mean that we have quite a lot of equipment.
The station has three front-line appliances (fire engines), one turntable ladder, one emergency attend vehicle (two person cutting crew and water carrier) and an off-road vehicle primarily used for the rescue boat.
As it was the first day of the day-shifts I had to contact our control centre to inform them who would be doing what and where, and which appliances were available and being used.
1030: One pumping appliance had to go to a local primary school. We show them all about safety, smoke alarms, the dangers of fire, what to do in an emergency and who to call. It is all part of stage one and two of the education system.
1330: Back to the station for lunch. As a personal duty, I am the station mess manager and as the cook is also off work at the moment, I organised the food restock for the night shift.
1430: After lunch the station commander came to talk to the watch about acceptable behaviour and code of conduct during the strike. After that we went out to maintain local hydrants as a certain quota have to be checked over during the year.
And a rare occurrence for us - we were called to rescue a cat.
This one was trapped on a construction site. Slightly less of a stereotypical job than being up a tree but believe me we don't get calls like that very often.

The Careers@USF transition from PeopleAdmin to PeopleSoft (PA2PS) continues to be right on track for the March 18 implementation date. As this date approaches, many of the questions and/or concerns the PA2PS implementation team has received have been about training.
Our primary concern throughout this implementation is making sure our Careers@USF users feel comfortable and confident as they begin using the new application. We have learned through past implementations that training is most effective when it occurs just before the users are able to begin working in the new system. Therefore, the training for the new PeopleSoft application will take place "Just in Time."
Careers@USF Training Plan
Training will first begin with a small, selected group of Careers@USF users over the next couple of weeks in order to help the PA2PS implementation team test the new system's functionality, approvals and notifications.
Training will then take place in late February and early March for the users who will have an immediate need after implementation to use Careers@USF to post openings and source applicants. The HR Service Center managers will soon be working with department contacts to establish and communicate the training schedule and locations.
The training will be conducted in sessions that will include hands-on exercises. By the end of these sessions, users will have a solid grasp of how to use the new application. If any additional questions arise after the training is complete, a trained support team will be available to answer questions and provide assistance as the application moves into production.
For users that do not have an immediate need to learn the new application, training sessions will be offered on a regular basis, with upcoming online training options to be available as well.
Please let us know what questions you may have regarding the project by sending them via e-mail to: firstname.lastname@example.com. All questions and/or concerns regarding the project will be answered on the PA2PS Project FAQ webpage.

Tia Sharp idolised the man accused of her murder, says grandmother
Police failed to find the body of the 12-year-old despite twice searching the loft of Stuart Hazell, her alleged killer, a court was told yesterday
Police failed to find the "body-shaped package" containing the remains of 12-year-old Tia Sharp despite twice searching the loft at the house where Stuart Hazell, her alleged killer, lived, a court was told yesterday.
The bin bag containing the schoolgirl was eventually discovered because of the smell of her decomposing body. It was overlooked in initial searches because officers considered the bags around it "too light to be significant".
The jury at the Old Bailey was shown CCTV footage of Tia's final movements shopping and travelling on public transport with Mr Hazell on August 2 last year.
Tia, who was said to have "idolised" her alleged killer, appeared relaxed in his company as she browsed magazines in a supermarket and helped to pick out groceries.…

Remembering the Triangle Fire
Posted by Heath
4 comments
By Heath Carter
Tomorrow marks the 100th anniversary of NYC's Triangle Shirtwaist Fire, a sweatshop blaze that consumed the lives of nearly 150 women in what still stands as one of the nation's worst industrial disasters. Interest in this solemn occasion has only been intensified by the current controversies involving unionization and collective bargaining, which have been discussed at some length on this blog and around the web.
Many of the women who died were Jewish, and New York's Jewish community has taken a leading role in the public remembering. This Sunday, for example, several groups are sponsoring a procession in which 146 persons, one for each of the victims, will march from the site of the fire to the Eldridge Street Synagogue. For more on that event, you can peruse The Triangle Walk's blog.
If you are interested in reading a brief history of the fire, as well as finding out about some of the other commemorative events happening around the nation this weekend, you might check out WNYC's site as well as the Labor and Working-Class History Association's (you have to scroll down a little ways on the latter).

Heath, thank you for posting this. Another event not included in American religious history texts, but that makes one wonder what that history might look like if things like this were included.

The Triangle factory actually wasn't a lock-in. But in those days there were no restrictions on egress routes, and the doors opened inwards, instead of outwards. What this meant was that in a panic situation, a scrum of people rushed to the exit door, and found they couldn't open it because of the pressure from the people stacked up behind them, pressing everyone forward against the door. This is one of the effects that most people find rather far fetched, until they see the evidence of piles of suffocated people piled up against a door, after a fire has been put out.

I always find it funny when people tell me this "wasn't in history texts." As a granddaughter of immigrants who all grew up in NYC tenements, a native New Yorker, and a kid in the high noon of labor history (the 1980s), I feel like I heard about this fire constantly throughout childhood--in school, at home, at the public library, and certainly in school and in my history textbooks. And then again, I also always thought labor history was the coolest thing in the world. It's always disappointing (and a bit disorienting) to learn that this is not nearly so known in other parts of the country.
- rjc at: March 25, 2011 at 2:19 PM said...
Just to clarify, in response to Janine's comment: the Triangle fire is in history texts, but not typically in texts on American religious history.

As Brigadier General William Barksdale's unrelenting, hammering assault surged ever forward, fewer Federal units blocked their path.
The Mississippians had crushed Major General Daniel Sickles' advanced blue line and was moving relentlessly northeast towards the main
Cemetery Ridge line. Refusing to stop to reorganize his men, he ordered his officers to continue driving the Federals. On Cemetery
Ridge, the ubiquitous Major General Winfield Scott Hancock viewed with cool concern the advancing Confederate flags. Looking for men to
stem the onrushing gray tide, he ordered forward his 3rd Division's 3rd Brigade. Commanded by Colonel George Willard, these men had
earlier in the war been captured en mass at Harpers Ferry and were eager to cleanse their record and restore their honor.
In his official report, Colonel James M. Bull would describe
the brigade's charge. "The line advanced over declining ground, through a dense underbrush extending to the base of the hill
previously mentioned, in as good order as the circumstances of the case would admit of, at which place {the base of the hill} the
alignment, without stopping, was partially rectified. Contrary, as is evident, to the expectations of the brigade commander, the
rebels in considerable force were found in this underbrush. They fired upon the brigade as it advanced, which fire was returned by a
portion of the brigade without halting. Many fell in the charge through the woods."
As the Northern troops surged forward to meet the crisis, the mounted General Barksdale continued to lead his men forward. A
conspicuous target on horseback, the Southern General was shot from his horse and would later die in a Union field hospital behind the
lines he had so bravely lead his men in the quest to take. To a courier, Brigadier General William Barksdale said, "I am killed!
Tell my wife and children that I died fighting at my post." Now, without their leader, the game but disorganized and exhausted
Southerners were not able to maintain their progress forward in the face of the charge of this fresh Union brigade. Desire alone could
not sustain the men in gray.
their success on these fields, Colonel Willard's men would suffer for their efforts as well and not just from the mounting casualties.
The men of his brigade would watch on in horror gallant Colonel would die on this field. An artillery shell, screaming from the
Confederate lines, tore off part of their Colonel's head.
But, having checked the Confederate advance, Willard's men withdrew back to the ridge from whence they came. Brigadier General
Alexander Hays, Commander of Hancock's 3rd Division would later say of Colonel Willard and the 3rd Brigade, "Col. G. L. Willard,
One hundred and twenty-fifth New York Volunteers, commanding the Third Brigade, was early in the day withdrawn from the division by
the major-general commanding (Hancock), and took a prominent part in the engagement on our left.
The history of this brigade's operations
is written in blood. Colonel Willard was killed, and next day, after the brigade had rejoined the division, his successor, Col. Eliakim
Sherrill, One hundred and twenty-sixth New York Volunteers, also fell. Col. Clinton Dougall MacDougall, One hundred and eleventh New
York Volunteers, and Maj. Hugo Hildebrandt, Thirty-ninth New York Volunteers, were each severely wounded, leaving the brigade in
command of a lieutenant-colonel. The loss of this brigade amounts to one-half the casualties in the division. The acts of traitors
at Harpers Ferry had not tainted their patriotism."
Pictured here is the small marker, just north of the Trostle Farm, near where Colonel George Willard lost his life on July 2, 1863.

Pittsburgh, PA (PRWEB) March 04, 2014
While a sunny day is generally hailed as beautiful weather, it does present a problem for drivers at dusk and dawn. However, an inventor from Rockford, Ill., has found a way to solve that problem.
He developed a prototype for the Dawn and Dusk Visor Extender to provide sun protection for drivers beyond the factory sun visor's normal coverage area. As such, it helps prevent motor-vehicle accidents caused by sun glare, saving lives and avoiding property damage. Furthermore, it is a convenient way to reduce eyestrain and distraction for the driver. It also adjusts to shield against sun glare that changes positions on the windshield as the car changes direction. Furthermore, it increases the driver's visibility with little effort on the part of the driver. What's more, it keeps the driver safe, comfortable and calm.
The inventor's inspiration for the invention was work related. "When I drove big rig trucks, the sun glare at dawn and dusk was one of my biggest problems," he said. "Since I couldn't hold my hand up to block the sun for two hours, I needed to find an alternative."
The original design was submitted to the Chicago office of InventHelp. It is currently available for licensing or sale to manufacturers or marketers. For more information, write Dept. 12-CCP-634, InventHelp, 217 Ninth Street, Pittsburgh, PA 15222, or call (412) 288-1300 ext. 1368.

The past 2 months have been very.. inconsistent to say the least. It started with a small bump. I was worried that he didn't shave the bump down enough. But it started to go down every day. It's pretty much gone now. But now it seems to have moved a little lower down. When I massage/press on my nose, it looks great. Problem is, it almost always looks a TINY bit droopy/bumpish when I don't press on it. I heard most swelling is gone by 2 months. It feels very 'spongy'. When will it go away? :(
2 Month Post Op Swelling?

2 Months Postop Swelling after Rhinoplasty
The swelling you describe is a component of the normal healing process. Everyone will be different, but the improvement with compression indicates swelling. Give yourself a year to assess results. Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA

Nasal swelling after rhinoplasty
Nasal swelling can be persistent for months after rhinoplasty surgery. Give it a year for the swelling to go away.
2 Month Post Op Swelling?
Most post op Rhinoplasty swelling takes 6 months to go away with the majority occurring in the first several months. The fact that you are only 2 months post op and that the area decreases with manipulation indicates this is continued swelling. You might ask your Rhinoplasty Surgeon for specific instructions at this point. We have all our Rhinoplasty patients perform daily manual lymphatic drainage of their nose to reduce swelling.

A.J. Pierzynski won't be heading to Kansas City for the All-Star Game, and he's not happy about it.
American League manager Ron Washington, who chose to include Minnesota Twins catcher Joe Mauer instead of Pierzynski, said the decision was not an easy one.
"I feel bad for Pierzynski," Washington told reporters Sunday after the rosters were announced. "I consider him a winning player because he beats you any kind of way he can. He beats you mentally, he beats you physically. So I feel really bad for Pierzynski."
Washington's roster includes three catchers; Mike Napoli of the Rangers (fan vote), Matt Wieters of the Orioles (player vote), and Mauer (manager selection). That left no room for the 35-year old Pierzynski, who is having a solid season for the first place White Sox. Through Sunday, Pierzynski is batting .285 with 14 home runs and 45 RBI.
Pierzynski voiced his displeasure to reporters Sunday.
"If (Washington) felt that bad he would have put me on the team,'' Pierzynski said. "He had an opportunity to and he didn't do it. Obviously, he can feel as bad as he wants, but he didn't feel that bad."
The only flexibility Washington had with his roster in this situation was selecting Mauer as the third catcher. Mauer, the only Twins player on the roster, is a fan favorite in Minnesota. He's also having a bounce-back season (.324 batting average) after an injury-riddled 2011.
Fans selected Wieters over Pierzynski, who recently topped MLB's most hated list in a survey of 100 major league players. Pierzynski received 34 percent of the vote.
Pierzynski wasn't the only All-Star snub, and he certainly has a solid case. In this situation, Washington had his hands tied, and Pierzynski just happened to be left on the outside looking in.

RSTechED: Manufacturing future, software integration
Sessions and discussions at the 2008 RSTechED hosted by Rockwell Automation helped attendees see a brighter manufacturing future.
Orlando, FL – Ability to get information in context and to adapt and make innovative decisions for better manufacturing: Who wouldn't want that? Sessions and discussions at the 2008 RSTechED hosted by Rockwell Automation helped attendees see a brighter manufacturing future.
welcomed more than 1,500 registered attendees to the June 1-6 customer and partner event here. Discussions included how
Rockwell Automation acquisitions of Pavilion Technologies and Incuity Software are expected to make Rockwell Software FactoryTalk more valuable
. Attendees also previewed future products, including FactoryTalk ViewPoint and FactoryTalk Metrics.
Getting information in context for manufacturing was among the key points at 2008 RSTechED, as this Rockwell Automation graphic shows.
"The issue is no longer simply access to information," said Kevin Roach, vice president of Software, Rockwell Automation. "It's how the sea of information generated from many systems is rationalized across the enterprise into succinct and useful context."
More than 400 product sessions, five customer panels, and two keynote addresses were among other highlights.
Alvin Toffler, a best-selling author, widely considered to be a leading "futurist," was the Tuesday keynote speaker. He spoke about how macro trends affect the future of business segments and can define a company's success for decades to come.
FactoryTalk Suite growth
Rockwell Automation also announced availability of a new version of FactoryTalk ProductionCentre, a software system that helps users deploy and scale manufacturing production applications across multiple sites in a more rapid and cost-efficient fashion. The latest version of the manufacturing execution system (MES) application delivers comprehensive production management functionality, the company says, along with advanced decision support tools to help manufacturers track and control production, reduce cycle times and excess inventory, analyze root cause and failures, and track and manage factory and field repair orders.
Manufacturing 2.0
The Manufacturing 2.0 Executive Forum, held in conjunction with RSTechED, was themed "Fueling Your Innovation Engine" and focused on best practices. The forum looked at how leveraging an IT-driven approach to manufacturing can include product and business planning, supply chain processes, and plant operations to create an efficient and responsive enterprise.
Representatives from IBM, Cisco, OSIsoft, and Smithfield Foods provided manufacturers a better grasp of coming changes and how to use them to help their enterprise prosper in tomorrow's business environment.
Future insights
Five two-hour customer panel discussions addressed key industry trends, such as using asset management software to protect intellectual property and leveraging existing plant-floor investments. Panels companies included Wyeth Biotech, Chrysler LLC, Kimberly-Clark and Tyson Foods Inc., and others.
Convergence of IT and controls engineering
was among the most attended panels, according to Rockwell Automation.
Rockwell Automation Inc. is based in Milwaukee, WI.

The oracles are dumb, No voice or hideous hum Runs through the arched roof in words deceiving. Apollo from his shrine Can no more divine, With hollow shriek the steep of Delphos leaving. No nightly trance or breathed spell Inspires the pale-eyed priest from the prophetic cell.
The people of your world became so stupid and rude that my companions and I no longer enjoyed teaching them. You must surely have heard of us: we were called oracles, nymphs, spirits, fairies, household gods, lemures, larvas, lamias, sprites, water-nymphs, incubi, shades, spirits of the dead, specters and ghosts.cyrano de bergerac
Population trends have always provoked doom-fraught oracles, because their popular interpreters suppose that every new series will be infinitely sustained; yet, beyond the short term, expectations based on them are never fulfilled.thomas malthus
Keynes disdained inside information in fact, he once declared that Wall Street traders could make huge fortunes if only they would disregard their "inside" information and his own oracles were nothing but his minute scrutiny of balance sheets, his encyclopedic knowledge of finance , his intuition into personalities, and a certain flair for trading.robert heilbroner
Magic is that which it is; it is by itself, like the mathematics; for it is the exact and absolute science of Nature and its laws . Magic is the science of the Ancient Magi: and the Christian religion, which has imposed silence on the lying oracles, and put an end to the prestiges of the false Gods , itself reveres those Magi who came from the East, guided by a Star , to adore the Saviour of the world in His cradle.albert pike
The oracles are dumb, No voice or hideous hum Runs through the arched roof in words deceiving. Apollo from his shrine<br<Can no more divine, With hollow shriek the steep of Delphos leaving. No nightly trance or breathèd spell, Inspires the pale-eyed priest from the prophetic cell.John Milton Hymn, stanza 19, line 173.
It was not till Jesus had cried, "It is finished," and from His riven side the soldier's spear had fetched the blood and water; it was not till then, that the fountain sealed of Incarnate Love became the fountain opened of Redeeming merit, and that the Siloah began to flow, which ever since has flowed adown the oracles of God.P. 74. (Dictionary of Burning Words of Brilliant Writers (1895))

NO. This county is at the bottom of all counties on per capti income and the employee salaries have been froze for years and we are losing good employees because they can get paid more. The property owners already have the highest tax burden in the state of Georgia. We are a one revenue county depending mostly on property and business owners to foot the bills. We can't afford to pay a Chairman and County Mgr close to $100,000 each per year as well as a county attorney a million a year for legal fees and millions to district 4 givaways. If they go through with this and continue to pay a million a year for legal fees NO COMMISSIONER- not even Douglas can claim being a conservative and all who vote for it should face a recall.
The only way these tax and spender will understand what the people want, is vote them out in November. Period.
