I ran across an old funeral mass pamphlet and went to check Find A Grave and found your page for Kristin Maren. You've done a beautiful job with the family memorials. The Maren family were good friends of my parents. I knew them but was just a kid. I do remember that Kristin was a schoolteacher and drowned on a trip out West. I also remember the tragic accident and my mom and I attended her memorial mass. If memory serves me right, it was held out at Holy Hill.
I sent an edit to add her middle name. I'm going to have to research more to refresh my memory and then I'll be able to add more and link family members.
Sad loss, but a pleasant memory to think back and remember this family.

This year's Rum River Festival 5K run/walk (3.1 miles) had one of the biggest turnouts of participants at 189, according to organizer Deb Ulm.
Many of the runners talked to profess a love for running, many talking about it giving them a "high."
About a half dozen of the participants were walkers and some of them pushed strollers in the beautiful but slightly warm weather for the race this past Saturday morning. Lee Dettmer, who ran it with his wife Shirley, said he had expected that there would be some breeze in the flats along the golf course but instead the air was still. Up on the higher ground and where trees didn't block air movement, a refreshing breeze came from the northwest.
The race began at 8:30 a.m. on Fourth Avenue South next to the Princeton Area Library and went south past the golf course to near the city's wastewater treatment plant property. From there the route doubled back to finish where the race began.
It was 17-year-old, Ryan Yonak, of Princeton, who arrived at the finish line first, with a time of 18:13, to also capture the title for the men's 18 and under category. Yonak, who will be a senior at Princeton High School this coming fall, has participated in track and cross country at PHS. He plans to do "fun runs during the summer" and will be training for cross country next school year, he said. Winning the festival 5K "is really good for the start of my workout this summer," he added.
Shaelin Lekatz, 15, of Princeton, won the women's 18 and under, coming in at 20:59. She will be a sophomore at PHS in the fall. This is her second time of running in the festival 5K.
Looking at this year's results, Lekatz said she wishes she had sprinted to move up a notch in the race overall.
"I like the feeling afterward," Lekatz said about running, "and the free feeling when I run, and just pushing myself."
Daniel Scheff, 31, of Greely, Colo., winner of the men's 19-34 category, is a native of Harris, Minn. Scheff, who posted a time of 18:57, is a graduate student at the University of Northern Colorado, where he is also a cross country and track and field coach.
Scheff says he has completed 40 marathons and that his personal best time for a marathon is 3:10:07. He twice qualified for the Boston Marathon, and was running in the festival 5K as training for this coming weekend's Grandma's Marathon in Duluth. The 5K went well, he said, calling it a "good speed day," and that it was a faster pace than he would run in a marathon.
Heidi Schroeder, 23, of Milaca, who is a professional care assistant for handicapped children and aged adults, won in the women's 19-34 bracket with a time of 20:15.
Schroeder's running experience includes the festival 5K three years ago when she also took first in women's. She has also run twice (this year and last) in Milaca's Runnin' in the Ruff 10K, which is over trails. She came in first for women, coming in just five seconds behind first place this year, she said. She has also run in Cambridge's 5K Renegade Run, winning both times in the women's.
Schroeder started running four years ago, trying a 5K run in Milaca. "I thought I would give it a try and beat all the girls there," she said.
Did Schroeder have a secret weapon in her father Gerald? Heidi noted that her father has a candy treats business and that she ate one of his cotton candies about a half hour before the race. That gave her a "sugar burst" of energy, she said.
Schroeder says that running helps her study at college. She is attending Anoka Ramsey Community College and hopes to enroll in a nursing studies program.
Jason Belair, 35, a Princeton native, lives in Elk River. His time of 20:15 made him the champ in the men's 35-49 category. He is a field technician who samples groundwater. The festival 5K was his first 5K ever and his first competitive race since track at PHS. His goal now is to run in more 5K runs.
Lisa Swedzinski, 48, of the Princeton-Zimmerman area, came in at 22:51 to take the women's 35-49 category. She ran with her daughter Samantha, 12, who came in third in the women's 18 & under with a time of 22:50. Samantha asked Lisa to run in the festival 5K and asked if she could cross the finish line before Lisa and she did.
Lisa was Lisa Herman at PHS, where she ran in track and cross country and still holds the best time at PHS for the women's 3200 meter. Lisa says she usually runs a lot of 5Ks (about 15) but not so much in recent time, because of keeping busy with children ages 12 and 14. Lisa has also run about four 10K races and ran when she was at Golden Valley Lutheran College.
"I just enjoy running every day," she said. "It's a passion I have." It's also fun to be a part of the group sharing that passion, she added.
Lisa is clearly proud of Samantha, noting that her daughter was all-conference as a seventh grade runner this past school year, taking first in track in cross country, and was first in the middle school's 1600 meter.
Gary Wernersbach, 54, of Zimmerman, had a time of 24:11 to win the men's 50 and over in the 5K. He owns and operates The Small Engine Shop in Zimmerman, and has been a veteran runner since he decided at age 49 to run to lose weight. He was in track and field in his school days in Burnsville.
Since starting running, he has participated in 5Ks to 50Ks, and has run four marathons and four Half Iron Mans. The Half Iron Man, also known as the Iron Man 70.3, involves a distance of 70.3 miles. It consists of swimming 1.2 miles, bicycling 56 miles and running 13.1 miles. He does the Twin City Marathons because it fits his schedule, he said. Wernersbach calls his running a "hobby," and "just a way to relax," saying it "clears the mind."
He often runs on Sherburne County Road 45 and sometimes takes his dogs on the runs. If he and the dogs come into a town then the pace gets slower because the dogs want to sniff and socialize, he notes.
His first race was the festival 5K some time ago. He remembers how proud he was to get the race's T-shirt and then felt bad getting it stained while staining a picnic table. Now, he says, he has a closet full of those T-shirts.
Sue Rivera, 53, of Zimmerman, took the women's 50 & over category with a time of 28:56. Rivera is a director of field services for Integra Telecom out of Golden Valley. She started running two years ago, participating in the 5K Lupus charity run in the Twin Cities and the Orono Firemen's 5K. She credits her personal trainer Brenda Cowles with giving her "inspiration, support and guidance to get the best results."
Why does Rivera run? "The enjoyment and high I get," she said. She called her finish in the festival 5K one of her best times ever.

Sailboat "Hagar" is a common sight on Santa Rosa Sound, often moored in front of the Fort Walton Landing. While out-and-about on Memorial Day, I had the opportunity to visit with her Captain and Owner Ray Hackney and tour this interesting vessel.
Hagar's namesake is the affiable viking of comic book fame. She was constructed by hand by local home builder Jim Forsman. According to Ray, this was Jim's 3rd handmade sailboat and was built in approximately 2 years in Shalimar. The Hagar is a full keel boat with 5ft draft and has a 23hp Volvo Diesel for auxilliary power.
From the starboard profile, we can see the various wooden elements of construction, including teek decks, mast, cabin, and toe-rail.
Hagar was built with fine attention to detail and many difficult elements – such as the curved aft rail.
Below decks, she offers most of the ammenities of home with forward v-berth, head to port, large main salon and kitchen. The boat is well lit by large glass portholes and windows throughout. Note in the picture below that the mast extends directly into the keel for great strength.
A Storied History
Hagar was berthed at the Fort Walton Yacht club for a significant portion of her life and participated in local races, boy scout outings, and more. Since purchasing the Hagar, Captain Hackney has continued Hagar's public profile – offering her out for captained day charters, weddings, and sailing instruction.
Mantaining such a vessel has been a labor of love for Roy. Recently, Roy replaced the Volvo diesel – sourcing a replacement motor from Canada and performing the replacement work himself. Hagar has had her share of local weather – including a lightning strike which claimed a fair portion of her lights and wiring and collisions with loose vessels during hurricanes. Contrary to wooden boat stereotypes, the Hagar has a dry bilge and is extremely watertight.
Roy's greatest challenge is keeping up with haul-out and land storage costs for periodic maintenance. He has found that these costs are much lower in Pensacola, than in the local area – which nessecitates a long cruise anytime a haul-out is required.
Usually moored in front of the Fort Walton Landing, Hagar provides a classic adornment to the parks water backdrop. We wish Capt Hackney the best of luck in keeping the Hagar a working part of the Fort Walton Beach waterfront.
Captain Roy Hackney can be contacted at 850.244.1113 or 850.217.2248 for information on chartering the Hagar.

If the NBA Finals goes seven games, ESPN/ABC might end up with a historic TV rating.
Despite having teams from relatively small markets -- Miami is the USA's 16th-largest market while Oklahoma City is 44th -- the series is off to a strong ratings start.
Game 2 Thursday drew an 11.8 overnight, which translates to 11.8% of the 56 urban markets measured for overnights -- up 12% from Game 2 in the Dallas-Miami Finals last year.
Besides the national interest -- positive and negative -- in LeBron James. And Oklahoma City is overcompensating for its diminutive size: Game 2 drew a 44.4% local rating there -- the market's highest-ever NBA rating. (In Miami, Game 2 drew 30.3%).
Sports events tend to get their highest ratings towards the end of play: Game 2's rating peaked at 15.1% from 11:30-11:45.
The Finals two-game overnight average is 11.8 -- up 11% from last year.

Chernobyl Child: Sergei Kravchenko, aged 14
By John Varoli
In the twenty years since Chernobyl exploded and gave the world yet another synonym for destruction, a generation of children has grown up with no memory of the event. Like everyone in his class in the village of Novy Bobovichi, Sergei Kravchenko, aged 14, knows only what he hears from his parents and other adults.
A photo by young photographer Anton Gordeichik of Belarus, of a general secondary school. It was closed in 1987. More than 150 children once studied there. Anton was one of 12 young participants in a recent UNICEF-supported photographic workshop marking the 20th anniversary of the Chernobyl disaster.
From 2-7 March 2006, UNICEF held a photo workshop for children aged 12 to 17 from each of the three countries hardest hit by the disaster: Belarus, the Russian Federation and Ukraine. Renowned photographer Giacomo Pirozzi worked with the 12 children – four from each country – who were all from Chernobyl-affected families. After an introduction to photographic techniques, the children went on location in Belarus to capture images of life after Chernobyl. Those from the Russian Federation and Ukraine subsequently went on location in their own countries. The photos taken by the children form an exhibition for the International Conference on Chernobyl in Belarus, April 19-21 and will feature as a photo essay on the UNICEF website for CEE/CIS

Go to Exeter. I made a similar mistake and I'm transferring this year. Don't let anyone tell you where you should go (I know I've kind of contradicted myself here, but it seems like you obviously want to go to Exeter) and you'll definitely be happier.

Thanks everyone for your replies. 6 weeks on and I'm still unsure about what I should do :/
I've given it a lot of thought and I'm definite that I'd rather study the Exeter course, and would rather live in Exeter. But at the same time I think I would be okay at Cambridge, I like some aspects of the course and the city is alright too, I just don't get the same kind of excitement about it (Which I know is really strange, most people are hugely excited about Oxbridge) I also worry that I don't think I'm really that passionate about my subject, and I want to be able explore other things, and at Cambridge it seems you have to be totally dedicated to your subject!
Does anyone know whether, if I were to firm Cambridge and put Exeter as insurance, I would be able to change my mind later? Say on results day or any time leading up to that? Is there some way of calling up UCAS and asking them to change it etc.?

I understand that natural sciences is very flexible but I know that I want to do biology so I'm not particularly worried about that. What bothers me is that at Cambridge you choose 3 options from a list of very broad sounding modules, whereas at Exeter (and at most other universities) I think it's 6 or 7 options from a list of more specific modules which would allow me to study specifically what I find most interesting. Plus Exeter has an awesome sounding coral reef field course in second year
Thanks to everyone for the advice, does anyone know just how much of an advantage a Cambridge degree would be in comparison to one from a good university like Exeter? I'm fairly sure I don't want an academic career and I do think I'd be more likely to get good honours in a place where I'm happy.
Secondly Cambridge degree might give a slight advantage, or that's what everyone says anyway. But to be honest, if you come out with a better degree from exeter than you do at cambridge, because you enjoyed the course more and put in more work, then you'll be in a better position. The name 'cambridge' wont automatically get you jobs like some people think either. How well you do in your degree is what the employers will look at first, then what other things you have done on your CV too to make you more emplyable and suitable for the job...then maybe they might look at the uni you went to. But it definitely isnt the most important thing, and Exeter is a top university anyway so will still look good on your CV.
I applied to Exeter this year to do Biology, and I didn't apply for Cambridge for many of the reasons you stated. I want to do a biology degree with loads of options so I can pick everything Im interested in. Cambridges natural sciences degree only lets you pick a few things in the 2nd and third year, and although they're broadly named options, in a way it means you're already specialising in 'zoology' or 'physiology' or whatever you pick, when at exeter you could still be taking modules from ecology, genetics and cell biology and all the things you're interested in. I find that cambridges natural sciences degree actually limits your choice in the second and third year to only a few streams of biology. I know the whole point is that you specislise more and more as you go through the degree, but I much prefer exeters course as you can keep some breadth if you want to, and you can focus on exactly what you want to study. That's why I didn't apply to cambridge. I wanted as many options in biology as I could have so I had an awesome choice of everything I was interested in. Cambridge's course just isnt like that. I think it's aimed more at people who just want to dip into the sciences and learn interesting things, but aren't too bothered about covering loads of things. Im not like that, I know exactly all the things I want to learn about in my degree, and I wanted a choice of all of those. Cambridge's degree just seems to take you on a bit of a walk down whatever stream of biology you choose, which would probably be interesting. But then, you never get to study all the other options too!
Hmm, not sure Im making any sense anymore :P
Also in your first ever post you mentioned about not wanting to eat in halls :P This bugs me too, I really want my own flat and everything so can cook myself pasta. I ended up applying to oxford (didnt get in :P) and I spent ages picking a college that had kitchens I could use :P
But yeh, a lot of people love the cambridge traditions, but if they arent for you then you definitely wont enjoy your time there as much as you would at exeter. Some people just dont want the oxbridge experience, and I think that's fair enough. Its not for everyone. I actually didn't feel that welcomed at my interviews at oxford, and although the buildings were pretty and the course was amazing, I think I will have a better time at sheffield, which is where Im firming. Work load wont be as crazy either, but I can still study everything I wanted to
Oh, and if you want a career in biology afterwards, and are thinking of doing postgraduate, where you do your postgraduate degree is WAY more important than your undergraduate one. So I think pick the uni YOU want to go to for undergraduate, and then if you want to do postgraduate go for one of the top departments in the country! That will put you in a good position for getting a job. But maybe not so much from the name of the uni, but from the connections with top scientists that you'll make.
I still dont think going to oxbridge for undergrad gives people an advantage over others when getting jobs. It doesnt guarentee you a job. You still have to work hard, like at any uni, and do loads of extra curricular stuff, and a degree from exeter will give you basically as much chance of getting a good job as cambridge would, obviously depending on what you do in your free time. Its all about building your CV up with extra curricular stuff around your subject, and getting a good degree. Exeters a top uni, so it'll still look good. The slight advantage the name cambridge might give you isn't worth 3 years of not being happy. Especially if you dont even like the course at cambridge as much as at exeter. Because then you wont work as hard either!
(Original post by catoswyn)
Hard decision but the coral reef thing swings it for me... Exeter.
You can always apply for post grad at Cambridge if you really want it on your CV. As for advantage... mmmm, they say it confers a great advantage and top employers do recruit at Oxbridge... however you'd need to check specifically because the sweeping, general stats don't always tell the whole story. Exeter might have tie ups with organisations you are specifically interested in..... or their course may be famous for some reason. ie. if I wanted to be a forensic anthropologist I would choose Bournemouth over Oxbridge because of their rep. in this area and the fact they have famous tutors. Or perhaps the Oxbridge stats are distorted because of the social profile of its graduates. So Oxbridge recruit people from backgrounds with connections and money who are invariably going to have an immediate 'leg up' afterwards and this affects Oxbridge's apparent success in employment rates and creates a nice, self-perpetuating myth that the same magical employability will be conferred on everyone attending. (though I hope I'm wrong and everyone without connections and money who go to Oxbridge do have great opportunties afterwards!)
Secondly Exeter has a good internship scheme you could look into for later, the university is ploughing money into new developments etc and is zooming up the tables pretty smartly. So a place with lots of energy and forward looking. Friendly and relaxed.
Third: I know people who have graduated from all over the country. Oxbridge is not a GUARANTEE of success and neither are the rest necessarily a disadvantage in the long run. My friends from Oxbridge range from the very succesful to the definitely not and likewise with other universities. So some friends from Oxbridge have been less succesful than those from other uni's have been.
Last: happiness is key. Follow your instinct. I once obtained a very sought after job with a well known organisation. Everyone was over the moon for me and very impressed, As the day drew near for starting I just knew it was all wrong. However, like you with Cambridge such a feeling seemed silly as everyone agreed this was such an opportunity etc. I went to the job and spent two very, very unhappy years before I finally left. I should have just trusted my intuition in the first place! I think learning to say, 'this feels right for me and that doesn't' is a great skill in life.
I agree a lot with what the above person has said.
Oh and I think if the thought of exeter gives you that excited buzzy feeling that cambridge doesn't, then your choice should be clear :P Uni's supposed to be some of the best times we have, you will regret it if you go somewhere and dont enjoy it. Because even if you do get a slightly better job just because you went to cambridge, which is unlikely, you might still look back and think, wow this job so wasnt worth the 3 years I spent at cambridge, when I could have been somewhere else having way more fun.

Thanks everyone for your replies. 6 weeks on and I'm still unsure about what I should do :/
I've given it a lot of thought and I'm definite that I'd rather study the Exeter course, and would rather live in Exeter. But at the same time I think I would be okay at Cambridge, I like some aspects of the course and the city is alright too, I just don't get the same kind of excitement about it (Which I know is really strange, most people are hugely excited about Oxbridge) I also worry that I don't think I'm really that passionate about my subject, and I want to be able explore other things, and at Cambridge it seems you have to be totally dedicated to your subject!
Does anyone know whether, if I were to firm Cambridge and put Exeter as insurance, I would be able to change my mind later? Say on results day or any time leading up to that? Is there some way of calling up UCAS and asking them to change it etc.?

I am from Exeter and go to Cambridge university. Believe me... Exeter will get very boring in deed. The uni's great (my dad taught there), but Exeter the town will always be there. You may one day want to move down here. But Cambridge is the best university in the world for natural sciences. I urge you not to turn it down!

Hottest JAVA IT jobs are in healthcare Location: Downtown Atlanta
Salary: 100k+
This is a permanent positionIf you're looking for a job in IT, you ought to be looking at the health care sector ..
Salary growth in the information technology field is expected to be mild, as well, ticking upward by less than 2 percent from 2012 to 2013....But not all segments within the sector are created equal. Health care and insurance, as well as the financial sector, showed the most promise for information technology careers in 2012, and 2013 is looking good as well. Part of the reason for health-related IT growth is because the health care industry as a whole is growing, one of the only pieces of the economy to add jobs over the last four years.

The referee Uriah Rennie has rescinded the yellow card he showed to Blackburn's Lucas Neill for diving after a challenge from Manchester United's Mikael Silvestre during last week's 1-1 Worthington Cup semi-final first leg, meaning the Australian is available for the second leg at Ewood Park a week tomorrow.
Carlo Cudicini will discover this afternoon whether he will be available for Chelsea's trip to Old Trafford on Saturday, with the FA due to hear his appeal over the red card received in the FA Cup win over Middlesbrough.
If the decision is upheld the Italian faces a three-match ban. He was sent off for violent conduct by Mark Halsey for raising a knee at Dean Windass. The 29-year-old goalkeeper, who will not be present at the hearing, insists he was acting in self-defence.
The FA is also due to set a punishment for Arsenal's Ashley Cole, who has pleaded guilty to using abusive language at a match official after the game at Southampton on November 23.
· Manchester United's Nicky Butt will return in Thursday's reserve match against Sheffield Wednesday after a three-month lay off with an ankle injury. Roy Keane is to make a decision about his international future within three weeks.
· Cheltenham, 23rd in the Second Division, have sacked their manager Graham Allner. The players Chris Banks and Mark Yates, plus the youth team coach Bob Bloomer, have been put in charge.

Women have long done it and fessed up, and many men have, too: faked an orgasm. But, as a new study reports, it's just because they don't want to hurt their partner's feelings.
In their study of more than 200 college students, University of Kansas psychologists found that 25% of men and 50% of women pretended to have an orgasm so sex would end, Live Science reports. How come?
For men, the most common reasons for faking it were that orgasm was unlikely or taking too long and that they wanted sex to end. Four-fifths of women reported they faked it to avoid negative consequences, like hurting their partner's feelings. Half of men reported the same motivation.
The participants who faked shared a common sexual "script," the authors wrote, in which both genders feel pressure to orgasm during intercourse, with the woman orgasming first. In some cases, people are so wedded to this script they pass up the chance to orgasm for real in order to fake orgasm at the "right" time. The study found that 20 percent of the women pretended to orgasm because their partner seemed about to.d half of the women reported that they'd acted out an orgasm during sexual activity. The biggest motivation to fake it? Wanting sex to end without the awkwardness of hurting their partner's feelings.
"Some of the women wrote that they actually could have orgasmed, but they chose a pretend orgasm in the right sequence — before or during the man's orgasm — rather than an actual orgasm in the wrong sequence," the authors wrote.
The study appears in the November issue of the Journal of Sex Research.
OK, On Deadliners, truth time: Have you ever faked it, and if so, why? And if you have or have not, how would you feel if you learned or suspected that your partner was moaning just to stop the sheet music?

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 3/12/2013 (1328 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
I welcome this opportunity to extend best wishes to every Manitoban during the holiday season.
This is a time for us to reflect on the blessings in our lives, and to celebrate being together with family as well as give thanks for what we have. Concordia has many wonderful community events, especially during the holiday season.
As holidays draw near, many families are busy buying gifts and taking pictures with Santa. You will be happy to hear that Santa is at Kildonan Place Shopping Centre to take free pictures and hear what's on children's wish lists. Santa has been there since Nov. 17 and will stick around until Christmas Eve.
On Dec. 14, the Munroe Library at 489 London St. is hosting an event called Deck the Halls! for the whole family. There will be holiday stories and crafts, and this drop-in event will run from 1:30 to 2:30 p.m.
The Canadian Pacific Holiday Train is gearing up for its annual cross-country tour in the coming weeks. Winnipeggers will get to see the train stop on Monday, Dec. 2 at Molson Street between Panet Road and Munroe Avenue at 9:15 p.m. Each stop includes a stage show with musical performances, and attendees are encouraged to drop off non-perishable food items or a cash donation for local charities. Since the Canadian Pacific Holiday Train made its first tour in 1999, these events have raised $7.4 million and three million pounds of food for local communities.
Soon students will astonish their families yet again with their enthusiasm and acting skills as they perform in their annual school winter concerts. And schools in Concordia aren't only organizing concerts. Kildonan-East Collegiate's Culinary Arts students will host a Christmas Brunch Buffet on Fri., Dec. 6, beginning at 11 a.m. Reserve tickets for this popular event in advance — they always sell out!
Last but certainly not least, I will be joining Santa and his helpers at Valley Gardens Community Club's Breakfast with Santa event on Dec. 14 at 9 a.m. to provide everyone who wants one with a nutritious holiday breakfast.
It's going to be a very busy holiday season! If you have any questions about these events or any other constituency matter, call me at 204-654-1857 or email me at email@example.com. Have a great holiday season!

In the South Bay radical weekly Random Lengths there is a story by Howard Zinn, Professor of American History and noted author. The article originally appeared in The Progressive. Zinn bemoans the fact that even some radical normally far left thinkers are calling the current war a "just war." Pray tell, what is a just war? Zinn contiinues by asking how could a war, which continues to kill civilians, be called a "just war"? He further continues his questioning by suggesting that the tragedy that began on 9/11 has so "thoroughly traumitized people who would ordinarily be sensible people that they are willing to give up their rights in order for justice to return".
Is it not foolhardy to imagine that by bombing innocent people that we will have killed those responsible for the 9/11 disaster? I think so, that it's foolhardy, that is. I think that we are punishing people, innocent people ,simply becasue they look like and share some of the cultural values that the perpetrators of the 9/11 bombings displayed. And furthermore, I believe that the issue is far too complex to put the blame solely on the perpetrators. I believe that the U. S needs to share that blame, based on what we have done to Others. You hit me, I hit you, you retaliate and hit me back, sounds like a good way to end the world. Where does it stop?

Baroness Scott of Needham Market: My Lords, from these Benches we also offer our broad support for the aims of the order, as outlined by the Minister. However, that support is given very much on the basis that this process should be driven by the local education authorities themselves in the best interests of the people whom they serve and not in pursuit of ticking boxes on government forms or adhering to a raft of best-value performance indicators. I declare an interest as a member of a local education authority. I have been a county councillor in Suffolk for a decade.
I am sure that there will be many occasions when this order can be used usefully in order to respond to temporary circumstances as well to deliver the type of partnership and new arrangements for service delivery which the Minister has outlined. However, we also remain profoundly concerned about the accountability aspects of contracting out. Although we broadly welcome the assurances given by the Minister in terms of the strategic functions being retained by the LEAs, we nevertheless remain concerned that many of the issues which are contracted out should also be democratically accountable. At present, people who seek to challenge the system are faced with a minefield. If there is now to be an added layer for them to fight through, it will be very difficult for people to challenge decisions or simply to make their voice heard when they are not happy. With those caveats, we support the order.
Lord Davies of Oldham: My Lords, I am grateful for the contributions to the debate from both Front Benches. It has been a particularly lively debate, even though it has taken place somewhat late in this part of the parliamentary Session. I appreciate the fact that support has been expressed on all sides for the concept of achieving best value. I accept straightforwardly that the noble Baroness, Lady Blatch, is right when she says that initial costs are bound to be involved in the drawing up of a contract and that a local authority would have to take account of those costs in working out whether it would obtain best value from the contract.
However, those initial costs might relate to a contract which would obtain over several years. Therefore, the assessment of the viability of the contract and the advisability of going forward with it would obviously have to take into account such costs. However, they might be reflected in the achievement of best value by the quality of the service that could be guaranteed from the contract. I want to emphasiseI believe that it was the subject of significant debate in the other place and has been reflected, in particular, in the contribution of the noble Baroness, Lady Blatch, todaythat the question of best value must mean that built into the contract is a guarantee of the efficiency of the service.
As the noble Baroness indicated, it is possible that special provisions will need to be made in certain areas. In anticipating this debate, I did not doubt that the noble Baroness would refer to the case of a child with special educational needs. I know of the very keen interest that she has always taken in this area and of her expertise in the field. Of course, the contract which would be developed in such a situation would involve the LEA being liable if the contractor took a decision which the parent of a child disputed. Therefore, the structure of the contract would contain the necessary appeal procedure in order to guarantee that, where the parent justifiably felt aggrieved, the decision would have to be taken at the local education authority level. That would be consistent with the Bill which I recall debating with the noble Baroness a short while ago. During our discussions, we expressed concern about the issues of appeal procedures and the rights of parents who, inevitably in this area of educational provision for children, take the most keen interest and who need to be satisfied that the best possible service is being offered to their children.
With regard to one or two other areas, I shall write
Baroness Blatch: My Lords, I am grateful to the noble Lord for giving way. I want to raise a point before he leaves the subject of special educational needs. My concern relates to the example that I gave where it is not incompetence or inefficiency that is being appealed against but the judgment made by a third-party contractor. If the tribunal considers only the processin other words, if the process is immaculate and is not at fault in any waythen the local authority is exonerated from any responsibility. That leaves an aggrieved parent with no one to turn to.
Lord Davies of Oldham: My Lords, I understand the noble Baroness's anxiety, which needs to be relieved. As we have indicated, local authorities have a particular and obvious responsibility for policy relating to special educational needs. Any such contract would make it clear that the local authority took responsibility for the parent's appeal against the decision and the work carried out by the contractor. It would be a different kind of contract from that used for less significant and sensitive areas of education provision.
I recognise and accept that considerable care would need to be taken in the drawing up of contracts in that area and that there would be some initial cost. If local authorities did not feel that there was a contractor capable of providing better-value service, the service would remain with them.
The noble Baroness questioned whether a third party should provide a service, which she recognised as essential and proper for the local authority, and whether the third party would have a role to play. With regard to parental choice andperhaps I may tread on this sensitive areagrammar school ballots, a third party could not necessarily be ruled out. Of course local authorities take responsibility for the ultimate decision on the provision of places and the admissions strategy in their area. However, I recall the noble Baroness's government ensuring in legislation that third parties were involved in ascertaining the democratic voice.
The industrial relations legislation indicated that ballots should be held under proper terms. In many cases they are carried out by a third party. The Electoral Reform Society has established a significant reputation for carrying out sensitive ballots. It may not be that particular body, but comparable bodies have the expertise to carry out the appropriate processes of ascertainingunder the direction of the local authority on what needs to be ascertainedthe views of the people concerned. We could surely see a third party undertake that process without any direct implications for the value judgments eventually involved in the local authority's decision.
The process of electoral testing has not been the subject of great controversy in any of the sensitive areas of national life where third parties have played their part. However, I accept that this is a strategic issue for which the local authority is ultimately responsible.
Baroness Blatch: My Lords, I agree with the Minister that the Electoral Reform Society is greatly involved in that process. But what else relating to grammar school ballots could additionally be contracted out?
Lord Davies of Oldham: My Lords, the order lists all the areas currently undertaken by local authorities where they may choose to employ a third party. There is no question about the decision being taken by the local authority. Following widespread consultation, we have sought with this order to create the greatest freedom for local authorities to make the choice. If in an area as sensitive as grammar school ballotsinto which I seem, somewhat ill-advisedly, to have clamberedthe intrusion of a third party might in some way be a derogation of the local authority's responsibility, local authorities are wise enough not to put themselves in jeopardy with regard to process. I believe I can reassure the noble Baroness on that matter.
The noble Baroness raised parental choice in general. Local authorities will set agreed admissions policies. The process by which parents express their choices could be provided by another competent body with the expertise to carry out a survey of parental choices. As we have made clear with regard to the legislation, local authorities are responsible for their admissions policies. The process of ascertaining a choice and defining the issue could be contracted out to those capable of ascertaining opinion.
The legislation draws a clear line between the strategic issues of principle, on which the noble Baroness and I are in agreement, which are the responsibility of democratically-elected local authorities, and the process through which the basis on which decisions are taken can be improved. In that sense, this is enabling legislation. Local authorities are under an obligation to achieve best value. Bearing in mind the reservations expressed by both noble Baronesses, if an authority is engaged in an exercise in which the process of drawing up the contract defeats the objective of getting better value for money, it will not act in that area. However, it is surely right that the order should maximise the opportunities and lead to democratically elected local authorities taking the decisions.
The noble Baroness, Lady Blatch, drew a number of other detailed points to my attention. If I have omitted to cover them in sufficient detail, I shall write to her. I am grateful for the fact that both noble Baronesses have recognised the value behind the principles of the legislation. The noble Baroness, Lady Blatch, said that she would take the Government on trust. I shall not ask her for the timescale of that commitmentit is probably until our next debate. Under best value procedures we expect to be able to establish that the legislation works to the benefit of the people whom we serve and provides them with the best services that can be secured. If there are difficulties in that respect, the issues will have to be revisited, but in the meantime, I commend the order to the House.

Zucchini Frittata with Sweet Basil
The Ingredients you will need are:
2/3 cup of Olive Oil
Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a saucepan and saute the garlic for about 3 minutes over medium heat. Add the zucchini and saute until almost soft, about 10 minutes.
In a large bowl, beat the eggs well; stir in the milk, salt, pepper and chopped basil.
Put the remaining olive oil in a 12-inch saute pan suitable for serving. Add the egg mixture and cook over moderate heat, folding as you would an omelet. When the eggs are fluffy, stir in the reserved zucchini and garlic. Continue to cook, without stirring, until semi-firm.
Top with parmesan and sprinkle with paprika. Run the frittata under the broiler for a few minutes until it is slightly brown on top. To serve, cut into pie shaped wedges and garnish with fresh basil leaves.
This recipe serves 10 people

In a 'Holy convenience, Batman!' moment, a 'unique' flu virus (one likely concocted in US Army labs) overtakes media coverage of revelations that the highest levels of the US government instructed the CIA (and private contractors) to torture terror suspects.
Scientists said the virus combines genetic material from pigs, birds and humans in a way researchers have not seen before. "We are very, very concerned," World Health Organization spokesman Thomas Abraham said. "We have what appears to be a novel virus and it has spread from human to human," he said. "It's all hands on deck at the moment."
Guess where the first swine flu outbreak occurred? That's right, Fort Dix, New Jersey, in 1976. Also likely created in a US Army lab. Thirteen soldiers died, leading the US government to force a questionable vaccine on the population -- backed by a legal liability escape clause mandated by and for the pharma-terrorists. Next, people started dying not from the flu -- but from the *vaccine.*
Every major media outlet has reported the fact that US/UK bioterrorists have been manipulating the avian flu virus in university and Army labs. This new flu strain, one that 'no one has ever seen,' contains avian flu. Now, how does *that* happen?
Rumsfeld's growing stake in Tamiflu --Defense Secretary, ex-chairman of flu treatment rights holder, sees portfolio value growing. 31 Oct 2005 The prospect of a bird flu outbreak may be panicking people around the globe, but it's proving to be very good news for Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld and other politically connected investors in Gilead Sciences, the California biotech company that owns the rights to Tamiflu, the influenza remedy that's now the most-sought after drug in the world. Rumsfeld served as Gilead (Research)'s chairman from 1997 until he joined the Bush administration in 2001, and he still holds a Gilead stake valued at between $5 million and $25 million, according to federal financial disclosures filed by Rumsfeld.

Margaret Minney has heard that Nova Scotians consume the highest per capita of strawberries in the country and she believes it.
Ripe, juicy and red, they are the first harbinger of summer for people in this region after a wearisome winter.
As it turns out, the longer and colder the winter, the better the berries may be.
While strawberry season is going to be a bit later than usual, the berries now forming are shaping up well and there could be a strong crop, said Minney, who has about seven acres of berries that she and her husband manage in River John.
"It looks like we've got a good crop," she said.
Peter MacLean who operates MacLean's U-Pick in Durham said they also are expecting a later but strong crop.
"The colder the better. The more snow the better," he said. "It was a good winter for them that way."
The way things look now he said the first berries will probably be ready the first week of July which is about 10 days later than last year. While he waits he's been busy doing some weeding and taking care of the plants that will produce for next year.
He said about half their strawberries are sold through the U-Pick and the other half go to the store.
While U-Picks might not be as popular as they once were, he said it has come back a little in recent years.
"There's people, that's the only way they'll take the berries," he said.
Milne said they find the U-Pick an important part of their business as well. She said they get a lot of older people, but also families. Children may crush a berry or two, but she welcomes them at their patch.
"We've always figured they were our future customers," she said.
Although the season may start later, Milne reminds people that means that it will most likely go longer too, so while farms in the valley may finish up their season early, Pictou County producers will still have plenty to pick.
Depending on how the weather is, the season can last anywhere from three to five weeks. She said a lot depends on the sun. A string of hot sunny days can cause the berries to ripen quickly and finish sooner, while cooler days like we've had can cause it to be prolonged.
On Twitter: NGNewsAdam
Did you know:
• The average berry has 200 seeds. Because its seeds are on the outside it's technically not a fruit.
• First Nations people ate strawberries long before European settlers arrived and were known to bake them into cornbread.
• Strawberries contain high levels of nitrate. This has been shown to increase blood and oxygen flow to the muscles, which allows people to have greater endurance and burn more calories if they eat them before exercising.
• Eight strawberries have 140 per cent of the daily recommended amount of vitamin C.


text: Hi, I'm creating a PBI for sysutils/ataidle. The problem seems to be that it normally installs into /usr/local/sbin but since /Programs/sbin doesn't exist no symlink gets created - the files just go into /Programs/ataidle . Since it's a command-line application that when run with no arguments just displays the help text it needs to be in $PATH and not have any shortcuts, icons etc. installed. The other question I have is about avoiding unnecessary files in the PBI. The executable is only 15KB and depends on libm libcam libc and libsbuf but the PBI seems to pull in extra stuff like gettext and results in a 3MB installation. Since I don't provide translations is there a way of avoiding that? -- Bruce Cran

|Prospect Capital Corp
|Asset Management & Custody Banks
Why We Like The Stock:
Prospect Capital Corp. (NASDAQ:PSEC) is our most compelling buy today due to the fact that it is a top rated stock in the Financials sector, which has been a strong performer in 2013 thus far. Since its November lows, PSEC has been trending steadily upward from ~$9.90 up to its current price at $11.30, making higher highs and higher lows during the uptrend. The stock is also in the process of filling its early November gap down, which gives it a short-term upside to the $11.50 range. In addition to the positive technical set-up, PSEC has also had some decent insider buying momentum the past few weeks, which is usually a good underpin for a rallying stock. We like PSEC at its current price and would hold until the gap is filled, which gives the stock a quick 2% upside.
We Would Be Buyers:
At the current price (~$11.30), or on a pullback to $11.15.

Sheldon Stephens, who is identified as the man who accused Kevin Clash of underage sex before he recanted it, has been jailed several times for robbery and reckless driving among other charges.
The man who recently accused Kevin Clash, the voice of "Sesame Street" Elmo, of underage sexual relationship has allegedly been revealed. According to The Smoking Gun, the accuser is Sheldon Stephens, who has had troubled past.
The 24-year-old, who describes himself as an "entrepreneur, student, model, actor" on his Twitter account, has been jailed for various charges since 2009, including reckless driving and passing a bad check. The latter charge was later dismissed after he settled his debt with a Harrisburg business.
The Harrisburg resident was also once arrested at the airport in Pennsylvania after his former boss, Music manager Darian Pollard, claimed Stephens had robbed him at knifepoint of a $250,000 "white gold necklace with diamonds" and a "white gold ring with diamond baguets." The struggling model was later spotted wearing the jewelry in the airport.
According to the criminal complaint, Stephens insisted the jewelry was gift. Beverly Hills Police Department detective told Pennsylvania authorities that they would file the charges in California "for theft and other charges," but research found that the charges were never filed and were dropped in Pennsylvania two weeks after his arrest.
Stephens lives with his 48-year-old mother, Felicia Stephens, who has had her own legal trouble. She was charged in May with attempted murder after allegedly stabbing her husband with a pair of scissors. She's also facing felony aggravated assault charge, but is free on bail and due in court on December 19.
Earlier this month, Stephens shocked people with his allegation that puppeteer Kevin Clash engaged in a sex with him when he was still 16 years old. The aspiring model, who once appeared in a 30-second online commercial for a York, Pennsylvania clothing store, later recanted his claim.
"He wants it to be known that his sexual relationship with Mr. Clash was an adult consensual relationship," he said through his attorney. "He will have no further comment on the matter."

BAA runs seven UK airports, including Heathrow, Gatwick and Stansted, and has been accused by its critics of market domination within the industry.
The demand follows the announcement in June of an investigation by the Office of Fair Trading (OFT) into airport ownership in the UK.
Budget Irish airline Ryanair has also appealed for BAA to be dismantled.
BAA recently agreed to a takeover by Spanish building group Ferrovial in a deal which valued the UK firm at £10.3bn ($19.5bn; 15.2bn euros).
'More responsive'
BA urged the Competition Commission to look at separate ownership of Heathrow and Stansted airports.
"Separate ownership of Heathrow and Stansted would make infrastructure developments at the airports more responsive to airlines' and their customers' needs," said BA chief executive Willie Walsh.
BA said the commission should "enhance competition in the UK airports market and provide and effective framework for future airport growth".
Even if BAA were to be dismantled, strong regulation would still be needed, BA added.
The call comes as BAA is set to expand, with the completion of a new terminal at Heathrow scheduled for 2008, as well as a new runway at Stansted by 2013.
BA, along with other airlines, criticised BAA for its handling of an alleged terrorist plot, which forced airlines to cancel hundreds of flights from Heathrow.
At the time, Mr Walsh said BAA's management had "no adequate plan" to deal with the emergency.
BA had previously said it would seek compensation from BAA for the cancellations.

You may not be aware that BC's wilderness could become a wasteland before the next generation has a chance to experience the marvels of a canoe trip or skiing a forest slope.
BC salmon are facing extinction and fish farms are not helping. Chile has done something about it but both levels of Canada's government deny it.
Some people are valiantly trying to raise awareness of the facts. Alexandra Morton has linked the premature death of millions of wild salmon smolts to coastline pollution by fish farms that release fish excrement and sea lice into wild salmon habitat.
Wild salmon are already extinct in many of our rivers. Without wild salmon, trees at the rivers edge starve and die. Without trees the soil erodes and washes out to sea. Without salmon the bears and eagles starve. Without salmon, the Siska people face starvation and it's not the first time. Previous government policy supported canneries to make obscene profits by harvesting as much fish as possible, including that which was traditionally eaten by First Nations. Now government policy helps fish farms to make greater and greater profit at the expense of salmon habitat. Sockeye salmon no longer run past Hell's gate in the Fraser River – starvation has once again been forced on Canada's native people.
To understand our history in the decimation of the world's largest salmon run, I'm reading Geoff Meggs book "Salmon" Decline of the Fishing Industry in BC. It is easy to recognize apartheid as it was historically practised by our Federal and Provincial Governments. Canada could easily wish to forget about this as we have much to atone for.
I hope you will lend your name to the plight of wild salmon, if not for the Native people, perhaps for the next generation of trees, for the bears and eagles, the badgers and fishers.
I believe we can put this matter before the public in a timely way to unite our entire country in a strong voice for clean water. After all, who in Canada wants dirty water? Before the last fish is forever gone, before government lets our salmon go the way of the cod. Before the Cohen Inquiry is over, a public plea for clean water might lead to salmon spawning in our barren rivers and creeks. We cannot force nature to provide us what we need – we can only help her along. The BC wilderness relies on spawning salmon to give their flesh for life that maintains our planet – surely that is worth more to Canadians than the economy of corporate farming.
How can we show our support for Ms.Morton's fish migration? Post your ideas or send me an e-mail
