To the Editor:
Re "How Preschool Got Hot," by Gail Collins (column, Jan. 30):
The debate about how to pay for preschool is a debate about income inequality. Providing full-day preschool for more children will ease low- and middle-income family budgets and provide better outcomes for children. Funding pre-K sufficiently to pay teachers of 4-year-olds comparably to those working with older children will create many more middle-class jobs.
Many educated and talented young people rightly view early childhood education jobs as a pathway to poverty. Even the most well-paid pre-K teachers in school-sponsored settings earn, on average, only three-quarters of the compensation of kindergarten teachers. In community-based public pre-K and Head Start programs, teachers with bachelor's or higher degrees earn only slightly more than half the average income of comparably educated women, and slightly more than one-third of comparably educated men. Teachers in child care centers fare even worse.
The services intended to ameliorate poverty should not generate it.
Berkeley, Calif., Jan. 30, 2014
The writer is director of the Center for the Study of Child Care Employment, University of California at Berkeley.
To the Editor:
Re "Pre-K, the Great Debate," by Nicholas Kristof (column, Jan. 30):
Publicly funded preschool, currently offered through Head Start, state programs or child care subsidies, returns modest benefits for low-income children. And in the face of rising rates of child poverty, it needs shoring up to meet the demands of closing the achievement gap, which has been the promise of prekindergarten and the basis for many public investments.Continue reading the main story
We can argue about how much effective pre-K should cost, whether a universal strategy is the best way to pay for it, and whether it works or not. These debates distract from the need to focus on how preschool education today can be made sufficiently intense to accelerate the learning gains of a growing number of children and address goals of equity, achievement and long-term cost-effectiveness.
We have strong science supporting how to teach children to read and converse, learn science and math, and acquire important social and self-management skills. We need more programs and classrooms that reflect what we know.
This is not a problem of the program staff, or of needing more money. Instead, we need to use current investments in people, space and materials and focus on implementing program designs and curriculums that produce demonstrable gains in children's learning and development. Enrolling more children in preschool is a laudable goal when those opportunities lead to tangible and meaningful learning gains.
Why not guarantee that all poor children in this country, before they arrive in kindergarten, receive two years of full-year, full-day, educationally and developmentally intensive preschool proven to close gaps? We know enough to make this goal a reality. What are we waiting for?
Charlottesville, Va., Jan. 30, 2014
The writer is dean of the Curry School of Education at the University of Virginia.
To the Editor:
Preschool matters far beyond the A B C's. No matter who the child is or where he or she attends school, there are five core experiences that all children learn by going to preschool.
They learn to separate from their parents, and the self-reliance they get from this experience leads to a greater awareness of themselves as individuals, empowering them to feel independent and confident in their ability to manage the world outside home.
They learn to be part of a group, that the world is bigger than "just me" or "me and my family."
They learn to socialize — with other children and adults — and to express their needs and feelings in a socially appropriate way, while developing the self-control and self-regulation needed for learning.
They learn to become more independent, and the process of mastering various self-help skills such as managing clothing, eating independently and taking care of belongings.
They learn to follow routines; school days are specifically organized to allow for a balance of active and quiet times. Children feel safe and secure when they can predict the sequence of the day and anticipate what comes next.
Such profoundly important skills are priceless.

Staying true to the resort's theme, each of Bunga Raya's 48 private villas is named after one of the many species of hibiscus flowers that can be seen about the grounds. Every villa is built from the ground up by tradesmen from a variety of natural materials. The distinctive lines and aesthetics of traditional Bornean architecture are evoked and melded with the high standards of contemporary functionality and comfort expected in luxury resorts. The beauty of Bornean simplicity meets the sophistication of modern necessities, and the result is an assortment of dwellings that offer stunning views of the gleaming beachfront, the South China Sea, and the lushly vegetated landscape.
The villas range from humble iron wood timbered houses set just steps away from the beach, to tremendous three bedroom affairs that feature extended wrap around balconies and private plunge pools.

I have since been in to alter the heating procedure for the cinnamon roll and so there should not be any more issues.
I love the food. you forgot to mention the fact of the place is absolutely spotLess and doesn't smell like urine anymore. I love the fact that I can lean up against the bar and not worry about sticking to it by the years of all the grease that the last owner neglected to clean.
I make the cinnamon rolls and there isn't much possibility of the cinnamon roll being dry with all the tallow and butter in it Unless it was heated up too long I may have to run a few reheat ideas by them. -shawn The sourdough boulangerie
Thanks for the insight, Shawn. The use of cream in carbonara is far from agreed upon.
What do you think a carbonara is its a cream based sauce finished ala minute with egg yolk
This is not the first, look up PAWS in Anaheim, CA.
The Watering Bowl did this in Denver but the health department caused so many problems for them they had to stop allowing dogs inside. The Bark Bar in Denver was not an indoor restaurant, but a dog park bar and coffee place and again, neighbors and code enforcement shut them down. Local government would not give guidelines to how to comply before these businesses opened, so hopefully it will be different in the Springs. I'm really hoping governments can work with business people to make the concept work because for the few months I could take my dogs inside the Watering Bowl, it was awesome.
Great concept. Can't wait to take my dogs and my girlfriend there to eat and hangout.
We will absolutely go there. We take our dogs everywhere. Great idea!
Great Article, I learned quite a bit. now about that drink of Mezcal....I'll have a shot.
Our first and last visit to the cafe was disappointing to say the least. I would have given the cafe 2 stars for ambience, but after having to work our way through the maze of chairs to our table, it gets 1 star.
We ordered the beet salad with blackened salmon, the Friday fish and chips, (I hope they don't serve it any other day of the week) and the carnitas taco. All dish with pathetic and far from gourmet.
I guess the gourmet word for blackened is burnt. The only this that could have saved this meal was to scape of the burnt portion and ask for lemon which never came because our waitress forgot and spent her time folding napkins. The salad portion consisted of 4 beets and maybe a half cup of lettuce. A stretch of the term salad.
The fish and chips had greasy stale fries, oily flavorless cabbage, (I guess this was the cold slaw), two pieces of what appeared to be fish but on further investigation was just a thick over fired crust with dried out fish skin on the inside. At the end of our "lunch" and when our "waitress" was finished folding the napkins and looked up at her tables, we finally got the opportunity to let our waitress know about the meal. She said she'd take "a couple of bucks off". Real gourmet style I must say.
The pork carnitas looked like ground up baby food in a corn shell. Thats all I can say about that. Other than it didn't resemble anything I have ever seen ordered that had the word carnitas in it.
Shame of you...... 3 strikes..... your out!
Stoked it's back open. Such damn good food.
Banoffi Pie is an English dessert pie made from bananas, cream and toffee from boiled condensed milk (or dulce de leche), either on a pastry base or one made from crumbled biscuits and butter. Some versions of the recipe also include chocolate, coffee or both.
Its name is a portmanteau constructed from the words "banana" and "toffee".
Great Burger of the Day with rosemary mushrooms and killer bacon. Done perfectly, delivered quickly and the restaurant was filled with kids laughing. What's not to love?
Never been to the 8th street location but LOVE food and service on Tejon!!!
Well I'll believe it when I see it. Him not reopening again and again. Kind of reminds me of the movie groundhog day!
I ate there this summer. It was very expensive and all three burgers were RAW. I asked at least 5 different employees for 'help'. I finally walked up to the cashier area and asked for a manager of mangers. All the other 'managers' would grimace at the bloody meat and the raw, like oatmeal, veggie burger and say "sorry". The manager of managers kept telling me she was trying to meet me "half way". Half way to being cooked? I finally got my money back and went else to eat. Really sad. It will close sooner or later.
This company has closed down franchises in New Jersey and Texas. Apparently customers nationwide are coming to the same conclusion concerning these french fries. Clearly these comments are NOT made to hurt anyone as a previous commenter mentioned but rather to bring product inferiority to the public.
Took my wife for our anniversary dinner. Food was good, but portions were odd, her portion seemed very large, and mine seemed too small. Blackened Ahi was good but nothing too special. Steak was ordered medium but sent out rare to medium rare. They informed us that the shrimp wasn't good enough to serve so they substituted scallops, and the scallops were excellent. The soup was good. Restaurant was pretty empty on a Friday night. We got there at 6:15 and there were ~5 tables. We left about 7:30 and maybe 2 more tables had been seated. Overall happy with dinner but not too high on the "we will go back again" scale.

Elders and Deacons
It has been brought to my attention that it seems this course is only for lay preachers and local pastors. While I want them to feel comfortable and welcome taking this course, it is not limited to those who are not ordained. Many elders have expressed an interest in learning new techniques or brushing up on old ones. It is open to anyone who desires to learn more about the art of preaching.

When you file a claim for new injuries that in any way resemble prior injuries, the insurance company will likely tell you those "new" injuries, if they exist at all, are just an aggravation of your pre-existing injuries. Consequently, any settlement offer they make will be minimal.
You don't have to accept that. You have a right to fair compensation for your injuries, whether they're an aggravation of previous injuries, or new and separate injuries. This applies to car collisions, slip and falls, work accidents, dog attacks, and other injury events.
Still, getting fair compensation for new injuries can be a challenge. With the right evidence, however, it's a challenge you can overcome. To succeed, you'll need proof of the at-fault party's liability, and proof of your damages.
Proving Liability
If you can't prove liability, you have no claim, regardless of the extent of your injuries. Although state law varies in the specific elements needed to establish liability, the general requirements are:
- The at-fault party owed you a duty of care
- They breached that duty by acting negligently
- Their actions were the direct and proximate cause of your injuries
Proving liability requires strong evidence. There are several reliable ways of producing credible evidence. They include:
Proof of New Injuries vs. Prior Injuries
Whether you've aggravated previous injuries, or suffered completely new and separate injuries, you need to prove it. The best proof of injuries is medical records. If you decide to negotiate your own settlement, you'll need a complete set of medical records for your prior injuries, and your current injuries.
With aggravated injuries, some overlap in treatment is expected. You'll need your doctor's help to prove whether your injuries are new, or an aggravation of a pre-existing condition. Her written narrative giving your diagnosis and prognosis can go a long way in helping prove your claim to the insurance company.
Your doctor's narrative
A doctor's narrative is vital in proving where your pre-existing injuries end, and your new injuries begin. When obtaining your diagnosis and prognosis, make sure you tell the doctor what you're trying to prove. That way, she can focus her written narrative on the details of your new injury. It's hard for an insurance adjuster to overcome a doctor's professional medical opinion.
Relying on X-rays, MRIs, CAT scans, and other diagnostic tests, your doctor can pinpoint why and when the new injury occurred. Her reasons for ordering the tests, and even the time when she ordered them can also help prove your claim.
Full Disclosure
Injuries can occur at any time. We have little control over when accidents happen and how serious they are. Many times, a new injury can overlap a prior injury. If you file an insurance claim for new injuries, you're better off disclosing your pre-existing injuries to the adjuster at the start of your claim.
Adjusters are well trained. When you file an insurance claim, the adjuster will want to see your medical records. Although the adjuster doesn't have a legal right to see those records, if you don't provide them, she'll probably just deny your claim.
If the adjuster finds out you have previous injuries, she may come right out and tell you she knows about them, or she may say nothing and withhold that information until the last minute.
There's nothing more destructive to your claim than getting blindsided at your deposition (recorded statement) when asked why you conveniently failed to tell the adjuster about your prior injuries. If that happens, your credibility is all but gone, and your claim along with it.
Whether you like it or not, your doctor's medical opinion binds you. Her diagnosis and prognosis of your current injuries, as they relate to your prior injuries, is the best evidence you can get. All you can do is hope your doctor concludes your new injuries are separate and distinct from your previous ones.

Mark Sweeney gives Clayton Kershaw the number off his back
Here's some bad news for the ultra-impulsive Dodger fans who already went out and bought a Clayton Kershaw jersey: The No. 54 he wore for his MLB debut on Sunday has already become obsolete.
Apologies for being the bearer of such bad news, but if you're one of the unfortunate souls who's out $150 or more, it's time to call your tailor to stop from becoming one of those guys who bought a Michael Jordan No. 45 jersey back in '95.
Yes, Kershaw will be wearing his old No. 22 when he starts tonight against the Mets.
As is custom in the minor leagues, Kershaw was assigned a high number when he entered the Dodgers' minor league system and didn't have the opportunity to wear the number he wore throughout high school as a tribute to Will Clark, a fellow Texan. (I'll admit I was a little surprised that it wasn't because of Roger Clemens, another Lone Star stater.)
The story has a very cool twist, though. LA veteran Mark Sweeney had been wearing No. 22, but agreed to take the No. 21 that Esteban Loaiza left behind so that Kershaw could get his preferred double deuces. Even cooler was that Sweeney didn't go through the normal requests of a Mercedes or a first-born for the # rights.
Kerhsaw is "going to be in this uniform for a long, long time," Sweeney told the LA Times. "It's something important to do from an organizational standpoint."
Told you that was cool and, indeed, all's well that ends well (though not for you No. 54 jersey buyers): Sweeney sees his new number as a tribute to his former teammate and friend, the late Ken Caminiti.
UPDATE: This story paints a little different picture of Sweeney's 'donation.'

The Benefits of Slimwave
Cleverly Designed System
What is truly impressive about the Slimwave treatment is that it targets specific body areas as it accelerates weight loss. The cleverly designed programs keeps the skin toned and helps to prevent sagging during the process. It is a powerful, safe, painless alternative to drugs or surgery that allows you to achieve results rapidly with no downtime. The soothing electro-stimulation treatment is beneficial to all muscle groups because as it breaks up fat and speeds up the metabolism, it also tones and firms areas like the abdominal muscles, glutes, legs, thighs, knees, "love handles or muffin tops" and arms.
How do You Lose Weight with Electrotherapy?
During the Slimwave treatments, pads are placed on your body in exact zones to correspond to acupuncture points. These pads transmit deep penetrating impulses into the muscles, causing them to intermittently contract and relax, mimicking natural muscle movements in a controlled workout, this causes firming and shaping in the targeted areas. The computer varies the output speed and stimulation combination once every minute according to the chosen program until treatment is fully complete.
What happens in a Slimwave session?
Slimwave is a systematic treatment designed to enhance blood flow and stimulate circulation whilst promoting the muscles to contract and relax rhythmically causing fat to metabolize while muscles tighten and tone. Slimwave breaks down the fat, allowing it to dissolve and liquefy and be flushed from the body each time you drink water in the hours following your treatment. Each treatment is controlled by a computer to target the specific areas and work on your problem areas firming and toning muscles to reshape your body while offering the benefits of a controlled full body passive workout.
After an initial assessment of your goals and problem zones, you can relax in our comfortable treatment room. We will place a number of electro pads on the specific parts of your body that will be treated. Once activated, the electrodes go to work to transform your problem areas. The electrotherapy equipment is computerized and will be set to different stimulation strengths. Don't worry the treatment is completely safe. The first time you might notice the strange tingling sensation, but this is your signal that the fat is beginning to break down – as you get used to the strength we will increase the intensity.
For best results, it is recommended to schedule a 45 minute session – twice a week for about six weeks. However, individual programs are constructed depending on your specific needs and desired outcome.
Weight Loss
The Slimwave treatment has the same effect as a full session with a trainer. One hour of electrotherapy is like doing 600 sit ups, 600 push-ups and 600 leg lifts together. Our 45-minute session can burn to burn up 1000 calories! When used in combination a healthy diet, this program can be exceptionally effective.
Cellulite Reduction
The stimulation through electrodes will boost lymphatic drainage and circulation, which is vital for breaking down fat deposits, the reduction of excess fluids and flushing out toxins. This combination results in healthier looking, vibrant skin. Slimwave can, over time break down the trapped fibrous barrier and help drain it away, returning the elasticity to the skin and tissue that has been affected.
Gentle on your joints
There is no strain on your joints as you don't use any weights during your workout. The intensity of a Slimwave treatment is regulated through electro stimulation, whereas conventional weight training is carried out by heavy weights or high impact running or jumping which can cause strain and injury if you don't maintain the correct posture and coordination. Slimwave is not dependent on weights or high impact training, so the risks of strain and injury are therefore greatly reduced which makes Slimwave is the ideal workout for older people or people with joint problems and injuries.
Body Sculpting
Through intensive stimulation of the muscles, your body looks more shaped and toned, your skin healthier and your physical appearance firmer and toned.

A Certain Way Audio Interview
I'm so happy to have you listen in today to a conversation with Bob Burg, internationally known speaker and bestselling author.
You know, when I first heard Bob speak on the subject of winning WITHOUT intimidation I was so thrilled to see that his principles of what he calls "positive persuasion" tie in perfectly with the principles laid out by Wallace D. Wattles in his classic 1910 book, The Science of Getting Rich.
And Bob's work answers so many of the questions I'm often asked about HOW to handle difficult situations and difficult people! while acting in what Mr. Wattles calls "the certain way that will make you rich."
So I could hardly wait to get together with Bob and get his thoughts on all this. Turns out he's a big fan of The Science of Getting Rich, too and that's really no surprise.
But there are definitely a few surprises in store for you now some new insights and some very practical "use 'em now" methods as you listen to this hour-long conversation with Bob Burg.
EXPECT Success!

On the Washington Post's website, there's an ad headlining its pages:
The ad reads:
Obama-Biden. Help the Obamas stand up for working Americans. Join our campaign. Paid for by Obama for America.
We know that Michelle Obama is meddling in government affairs to try to force Americans to eat as she dictates and subject school children to weight monitoring and ridicule. But what we did not know is that Malia and Sasha are now actively working in our government.
This ad goes beyond the typical family shots of playing football or walking on a beach or through the woods together. You know, the silent little snapshots meant to say "Look at what a wonderful family man this candidate is. Look at how lovely his non-scary, humanizing family is."
I don't have a problem with candidates' families participating in their campaigns, especially if the kids are now adults. Some adult children of candidates go on the campaign trail to stump for their parent. That somewhat opens them up to public scrutiny, but unless they are setting policy and injecting themselves into government, they deserve a modest zone of privacy.
Even with the little ones, having them cutely mug for the camera or perform for the audience is no big deal—as long as it is infrequently done. Otherwise, depending upon on them to soften up the candidate's image is exploitative to them, and annoying to us. The candidate becomes like the coworker that won't put the pictures of her grandkids away.
But this Obama ad is treading new ground, injecting his minor children into the political arena. Now the whole family is being sold as a package: The Obamas. We don't get one. We get all of them.
- Think Barack Obama has destroyed the American economy? No fear. The Obamas are much more benign!
- Need new ideas for government child-rearing? Let Sasha and Malia craft a policy for you!
- Your mean old boss wants to open a non-union factory? The Obamas children will lay down in front of scab trucks for you!
Ugh. I find this ad distasteful. I don't want my President's tweens anywhere near my public policy.
Plus, if the Obamas are gonna exploit their kids in such a cheap and tawdry way, why did they have to be so cheap about it? Mr. Millionaire-Wanting-To-Pay-More-Taxes can't afford a new family portrait? He has to crop their White House Christmas portrait photo?
By the way, who paid for that Christmas card? Was that a government expense or a campaign one? Because if it were paid by the White House, this ad is also a campaign violation for misappropriating government property, and improper use of White House resources for a political campaign.
The UK's Daily Mail says:
This year's portrait was shot by the official White House photographer Pete Souza, and perhaps it was his level of comfort with the family that helped create the relaxed vibe.
Seems the Obama campaign owes the taxpayers some money…and an apology to Malia and Sasha for such an off-putting use of their images.

text: Sears Signs Deal To Sell Parallel In disclosing the Parallel pact to WWD on Wednesday, Sears executives said the recasting of its apparel floor is gathering steam. By David Moin on March 31, 2005 NEW YORK — Sears, Roebuck will start selling the Parallel contemporary brand beginning mid-April in an exclusive distribution deal that reflects the chain's ongoing reengineering of its apparel business. In disclosing the Parallel pact to WWD on Wednesday, Sears executives said the recasting of its apparel floor is gathering steam. This fall, they plan to introduce a few more exclusive labels, which they declined to identify. The essence of the strategy is to build up a stable of "affordable and on-trend" labels unique to midtier retailing. Other key components of the strategy involve reworking the selling floors so they're less dense with merchandise and become clearly divided into three lifestyle areas: updated, classics and relaxed. Also, since last holiday season, Sears has accelerated the flow of goods to its stores, so that floor sets change every six to eight weeks, compared with three to four per year. "We're heavily into the cycle now," said Gwen Manto, executive vice president and general manager of apparel, Sears, Roebuck.About half of Sears' apparel business is considered exclusive to the store, and apparel/accessories represents 25 to 30 percent of the volume at Sears' 870 full-line stores around the country. For years, Sears' apparel business has underperformed the hard goods side and has been under assault by the stronger J.C. Penney, Kohl's, Target and traditional department stores, among other retailers."Our strategy is to really go to market with a much more relevant fashion offering — and do fewer things but with more authority," said Manto. "We want great exclusive product not sold at other midtier retailers.""Sears is a natural fit as our new exclusive retail partner for Parallel because together we are able to make fashion more accessible," said Max Azria, chairman and chief executive of BCBG Max Azria Group, parent company of Parallel, which is geared to appeal to women ages 18 to 35. Key Parallel items and prices for spring include cardi sweater wraps and pleated print skirts for $44; matte jersey wrap dresses for $58; floral print tunics at $38; rib knit tanks with lace trims, $22; linen flare leg pants, $50, and ruffle trim twill jackets, priced at $72.Manto added there will be new brands for fall in the updated and relaxed apparel sections, but none in classics. Key updated labels include the A-line proprietary brand and the private label Apostrophe, as well as Parallel. Key classic brands include the Lands' End and Covington private labels and the proprietary First Issue. Classics Elements is a key private label in the relaxed section.This month, Sears merged with Kmart, forming Sears Holdings. It's expected that many Kmarts will convert to Sears stores. Asked if some Sears brands could be sold at Kmart, Manto said, "We really haven't determined how to combine the Kmart and Sears businesses. Right now, we are merchandising separately," though she suggested that some of the strongest brands. Kmart's Martha Stewart Everyday home collection is a likely candidate. Retail observers will be watching closely how Parallel performs at Sears, considering it was not a success at J.C. Penney, which dropped the line last spring. According to a retail source, it didn't sell well; speed to market was an issue, and Parallel wanted to utilize special sales associates to help sell the line, which is more of a traditional department store selling model. Also, Parallel's prices were higher than Penney's in general.Asked why she believes Sears can do a better job with Parallel than Penney's, Manto replied: "BCBG never has been as hot as it is today. Max Azria and his team have been unbelievable." She called Sears' Parallel products "trend-right" and noted that even before the goods arrive at the stores, brand extensions are in the works, including handbags and a fragrance for fall. With each of its proprietary brands, Sears strives to offer head-to-toe looks, said Manto, who reports to Luis Padilla, president of merchandising and marketing for Sears Holdings. Another key member of the team is Patti Simigran, senior vice president and general merchandise manager of women's apparel, Sears, Roebuck.Parallel is being distributed to Sears' top 150 stores for spring and 425 stores for fall, and will be sold on sears.com.Manto would not divulge financial details of the Parallel deal.BCBG Max Azria Group includes BCBG Max Azria Collection, BCBGirls, BCBG Attitude, To The Max, Hervé Léger and Max Azria Atelier.

Coaching – Conflict, Change and Crisis
- One to one coaching for managers and executives
- Coaching and mentoring for professional workplace mediators (internal or external)
All of our coaching packages are tailor made to suit the needs of the individual being coached. Since coaching is a one-to-one process, it can often be much more productive than traditional classroom or group training.
Executive Coaching
Managers or employees may benefit from coaching if they have been affected by conflict or change in the workplace, or simply wish to adapt how they react and engage with others.
Coaching is a highly effective tool for developing resilience and confidence in managers and leaders, addressing difficult behaviours in the workplace, or resolving disputes.
Conflict Coaching
Coaching is ideal for disputing parties, as an alternative to mediation where parties are resistant to mediate.
HR professionals or customer care advisors can benefit from coaching in dealing customer complaints or aggressive behaviour. Coaching also helps employees who have been subject to disciplinary action for bullying or harassment.
Our coaching services are also available for professional workplace mediators (internal or external).
Who benefits from conflict, change and crisis coaching?
- Managers and leaders who are required to handle conflicts, crisis and change
- Disputing parties – as an alternative to mediation where parties are resistant to mediate
- Managers or employees who have been affected by conflict or change in the workplace
- Managers or employees who wish to adapt how they react and engage with others
- Managers or employees who have been subject to disciplinary action for bullying or harassment
- HR professionals who need to deral with difficult situations in the workplace
- Customer care professionals who work with customer complaints or deal with aggressive customers
Three benefits of using a coach
- Our coaching is a solution-focused process which promotes empowerment, reflection and a focus on the future.
- It offers a safe space for the coachee to increase self-awareness and transform the way in which they handle conflict and change.
- It fosters a culture of collaboration and dialogue and complements a resolution culture which is emerging in many organisations as an alterative to the traditionally adversarial dispute resolution rpocedures
I thought both mediators acted professionally and skilfully throughout the day – I was extremely impressed by the whole experience."
The Coach
A collaborative process which delivers tangible results
Conflict, Change and Crisis Coaching is a collaborative relationship between the coach and coachee. It tends to involve three or four one hour meetings over a period of several weeks. It can always be adapted to meet local needs and circumstances.
The coach works with their coachee to reflect on how they act, interact and react at times of conflict. The coach helps the coachee to explore behaviours which will enable them to change or manage how they engage with others.
All of TCM's coaches are highly experienced in the areas of mediation, dispute resolution, change management and coaching.
Our coaches use the tried and tested FAIR FrameworkTM. The FAIR FrameworkTM is a powerful tool for developing strong, powerful conversations.
We engaged TCM to help resolve some difficult issues between two individuals. We were particularly pleased with the speed of service, thoroughness of approach and the way parties were brought together. We would have no hesitation in using TCM again should the need arise and indeed have recommended then to others"
Training & Workshops
Do you want to learn how to coach your managers and employees at times of conflict, change or crisis?
Coaching is a vital skill for the modern modern HR professional or business leader. To complement our conflict, change and crisis coaching services, we also run in-house workshops and courses.

Whatever is going to happen to the Shoppes on Sand Key is going to take a little while longer. A request to change the zoning on the 3-acre strip on Gulf Boulevard has been put off until Jan. 22 because some residents were not informed about the initial meeting set for this Tuesday, said Clearwater attorney Ed Armstrong, who is representing Ohio-based Cedarwood Development, which owns the nearby Clearwater Beach Marriott Suites and would like the property zoned "tourist." Such a zoning would allow for hotel, condo and retail development. Sand Key residents are upset about the proposal because the strip mall is the only retail area on the island and they don't want to lose it. Cedarwood officials have not said what they plan to do with the area if they buy it.

EU to ask more UK spending on refugee crisis
Britain is likely to face more budget demands from the European Union (EU) as Brussels looks set to ask member-states for more money to handle the unfolding migrant crisis.
The European Parliament has passed a resolution demanding greater spending that if implemented will challenger British Prime Minister David Cameron's historic cut to the seven-year EU budget, which was capped at £847 billion until 2020, according to the Telegraph.
Kristalina Georgieva, the EU vice president for budgets, warned last week that EU members should be "making room for new commitments."
"We have to make sure that our budget for next year absorbs all the commitments made so far to deal with the migration crisis, while at the same time making room for new commitments," Georgieva told the Chinese state news agency Xinhua.
This means that London might be asked to increase its current annual net contributions of £10.4 billion.
Europe is facing an unprecedented influx of refugees, who are fleeing conflict-ridden zones in Africa and the Middle East, particularly Syria.
Many blame major European powers for the unprecedented exodus, saying their policies have led to a surge in terrorism and war in those regions, forcing more people to flee their homes.
The UK's contributions to the 28-member bloc are a hot topic in the debates concerning the country's EU membership which is to be decided in a June 23 referendum.
Supporters of the so-called Brexit option argue that Britain's yearly contributions to the EU would be better spent directly on the National Health Service (NHS) and school system.
Meanwhile, Cameron's government has delayed voting on the seven-year EU budget, in a move that critics say is designed to avoid giving ammunition to Leave campaigners.
EU auditors have warned that that weaknesses over the coordination of funds and performance information were "likely to persist," despite the European Commission's new guidance for the 2014-2020 program of works.
Nigel Farage, leader of the UK Independence Party (UKIP) leader who has spearheaded the campaign to leave the EU, denounced the Commission over the report, it was acting like a "thirsty vampire" and that it would continue to "get stuck into British taxpayers' necks" unless they voted to leave.

Ask Kenya Justice Minister Eugene Wamalwa to Have Greater Penalties for Poaching Imposed ...
It is reported that, Pekei Ole Shoke, the poacher pictured here, has openly told Kenya community rangers that he will continue to kill more elephants. African elephants don't need poachers running free. New stricter laws must be set. Please sign and also email the Minister of Justice, Eugene Wamalwa to have his judges imprison poachers for the long term.
Big Life Foundation has stated that they are able to catch poachers, but when brought before the Kenyan courts the fines are meager and the imprisonment light. Please politely write/email the Justice Minister, Eugene Wamalwa, to have the courts take seriously the looming extinction of elephants and rhino killed for greed. In the long run Kenya's ecotourism will suffer as has been recognized by Botswana's president who has stopped all hunting licenses. Let His Honor Wamalwa know that the international community is outraged that our world heritage wildlife is being exterminated and the criminals who poach have no deterrent to stop.
The Honorable Justice, Eugene Wamalwa,
Minister of Justice, Nairobi, Kenya,
You Honor,
Please have your judges impose much stronger fines and full term imprisonment for the poaching of our world's heritage, the wildlife that lives in Kenya. Extinction is looming at the rate animals are being massacred.
It is reported that though anti-poaching teams are catching poachers, the fines are meager and imprisonment light. So light that Pekei ole Shoke, the notorious repeat poacher, has openly told Kenya rangers that he will continue to kill more elephants. Your insistence that judges allow no bail, and impose large fines and long sentences is necessary in order to stop this decimation of elephants and rhino solely for greed.
The international community is outraged at the continued carnage while killers are bold and free. With the decimation of wildlife and little deterrent to stop, this will soon affect Kenya's ecotourism and economy. Please have your courts and judges take seriously the this annihilation.
Most Sincerely,
A Signer for Justice
Your Honor,
By signing, you accept Care2's terms of service.
Having problems signing this? Let us know.

Complaint Review: Brad King Florida State Attorney OPD

Brad King Florida State Attorney OPD Ocala Police Department and State of Florida fighting for the not my job award. Ocala, Florida
Last year we were finally able to get a protective injunction against this man for our kids. Within a couple of months he violated it twice. 2 weeks before going to court for the violations, he calls in a false report of a fire at my address while he was extremely intoxicated. When my wife walked out to speak to the firemen, this man came running across the street, onto my property, with his hand raised in the air, right up behind my wife, where I tackled him inches from her feet. Once on the ground, an altercation took place which ended with him being sent to the hospital.
Did he get arrested for public intoxication? Nope! In fact, the officer refused to test his alcohol level. Did he get arrested for filing a false report of a fire, violating our kids' injunction (this all happened right in front of them), tampering with a witness, assault? NOTHING! Instead they arrested me and tried to charge me with felony battery. It took 8 months and $8,000 before the state attorney's office dropped the charges against me. During that time, Judge Eddy granted him a protective injunction against me! This injunction was filed more than 6 months after most recent alleged act of violence and based on a single act (there are suppose to be 2 acts of violence for a protective injunction). Judge Eddy refused to let me testify about this incident and refused to watch the video from my surveillance cameras. He did let the other party testify about the incident and show their pictures.
So, after all of this, what did the man get for exposing himself and grabbing himself in front of my 6 and 15 year old children? He got a $100 fine! Not even court costs! Now that the man has a protective injunction against me, he literally chases me through town trying to get close to me so he can take pictures and get me in trouble for violating the injunction. He has actually sat in his van waiting for me to come home, and when he hears me coming, he pulls out onto the road and parks his van in the middle of the street, then jumps out and stands there in the street blocking the road to get home. I had to turn around and go around the block to get home.
I have filed six motions to vacate this ludicrous injunction over the last 2 months but they have all gone unanswered so far. The police won't do anything other than write a report. The state attorney's office has called his actions benign and not worth their time. The city of Ocala and the state of Florida are almost as responsible for his actions as he is, because by refusing to act they are teaching him that his behavior is acceptable.

2013 was an important year, I started learning a new language, started saving for a mortgage, went on the most amazing adventure, found a taste for wine, became the Admin & Support Volunteer at Serendipity and ran a 5K. Here's to the next year, I hope it'll be as good as the last.
Currently I sell phones for a living and spend my free time trawling for lifespiration, taking photos, playing card games with my friends or reading books. I recently was inspired by the joy that was #YALC in London and I'm swaying my career towards publishing. I'd love to learn how books are made from thought conception all the way through social network and marketing campaigns to actual sales. I have a good grounding in admin from my volunteering and I'm looking at courses so let's see what comes :)
Me in a few words: running, wizard rock, scarves, colour, sunglasses and a good cup of tea.

text: DH and I have decided that we MUST reduce our Christmas spending this year. I'm "crafty" but I have found that the people on my list don't really appreciate handcrafted gifts. I've found a few things on sale but I am still on the lookout for other good but inexpensive "semi-homemade" ideas. I'm shying away from gift baskets, because I've found that I end up spending more when I go that route! Here's my one-and-only "semi-homemade" idea, so far. DD's teacher is extremely difficult to shop for! The kind of person that even the simplest thing will probably be too fussy for her taste! I'm going to buy DD an inexpensive plant pot, and let DD grow a plant (from one of the plants we already have at home) between now and Christmas! A fairly simple, non-flowering plant - easy to grow, and won't offend the teacher's sensibilities (the lady dislikes anything with even the slightest hint of a scent!) This idea will probably work best for those living in warm climates! Any other ideas? Please share.

Ep 262 Jeff Altman, The Big Game Hunter explains the difference between contingency recruiters and retained recruiters.
There is a certain air around retained search. It is perceived to be superior than contingency. Let's just analyze the differences.
A contingency recruiter is hired by company to fill a position. A retained search firm is hired by a company to fill a position and is paid an amount to retain them to do the search, another piece to deliver resumes to them and screen them and were for them and another piece upon completion. The percentages are irrelevant. It is how the money is funded to the retained search firm that will differentiate it from the contingency.
The contingency recruiter is only paid upon successful completion of the search. Everything else that they do is done on a speculative basis. Why does the firm hire retained firm versus a contingency? It is to buy the dedicated effort. There is the perception that the talent working for the retained firm is superior to that working for the contingency firm. That isn't always the case, but let's just accept the marketing here.
How does that affect you? For most of you, it won't matter. For most of you, you will be in the sector that is handled by a contingency recruiting firm. Retained search firms will work at a higher level than the contingency firms will. It. That's really where the differentiation is. How they are paid doesn't matter to you. It is the nature of the jobs that they are asked to recruit for.
If you are a C suite executive, I professional who is running a line of business or is the president of the chairman of an organization, obviously, you know, retained search firms are aware that retained firms are where you need to be. You need to do things to position yourself to be noticed by the retained firms in order to get on their radar.
It's not like you decide to look for a job and you reach out to retained firms. It doesn't work that way. They want to be reaching out to you. So what you do is put yourself in the position to be noticed and found. For most of you, you are at the contingency search levels. You are working on staff level positions, middle management jobs, direct director level positions... Nothing at an executive level. Executive levels of the balliwick of the retained search firms.
When I used to be asked, "Are you working on this position on retainer," I would take retainers for some positions. I would recruit for the most positions I was involved with were contingency searches. As far as the job applicant is concerned, it doesn't really matter except in the context of the nature of the position and the nature of the relationship that the firm or the individual recruiter has with that firm. If there's a good relationship, then it really doesn't matter. If there is no relationship, obviously it does.
When all is said and done, most of you live in the land of the contingency recruiter and you have to learn to evaluate and assess them in much the same way as you would if you are hiring them tooth to fill a position.

One of my favorite places in Iraq was the Green Beans coffee shop on Tallil Ali Air Base. I was a regular so I knew most of the staff. Like us, they worked at least 12 hours per day, six days a week and when one of them was sick, the others would work 18 hours to keep the coffee brewing 24/7/365.
Most of the baristas were from India and Nepal. A few months before I left, they hired Frederick Lameki, a young man from Kenya. Like the other members of the staff, Fred was well educated, but could make more money serving coffee in Iraq than he could in his home country. Fred greeted me loudly every time I saw him at Green Beans.
"Goooosemon," he would say. "What's happening?" Sometimes in his enthusiasm he would attempt to greet me with the complicated handshake he used greeting his younger favorite customers--then he remembered I was way too old for that and smiled at my inability.
Fred will be visiting America this summer--most likely New York City, but maybe other North East cities. Fred has 419 Facebook friends which, in his case, may actually reflect his ability to make and keep friends. Fred and I have one mutual friend on Facebook--Jessie Ramos. Fred introduced me to Jessie. She is from Texas, but not really. In fact she is not really Jessie, but more on her in another post.
Green Beans is one of my best memories of Iraq: good coffee, good people who work there, reading good books with no video in the building, and talking about books with other people who read.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Lawn Mowing Equipment' started by DA Quality Lawn & YS, May 5, 2014.
My serial numbers are 1 number apart one is a 25 the other a 26??
No front baffles on XF1.
Posted via Mobile Device
The XFII also has a larger discharge opening, so you can compare that aspect as well.
Are you talking about the front inner baffle wall that most flat deck Z's have? The XF I has that, but it doesn't have the adjustable baffle that bolts to the inner baffle.
Here's a pic of the under side of the XF I deck (this one has a mulch kit installed)-
I have now run some thick, spring growth thru my PT 260 with baffles at two different positions. Position 1: Baffles set just below blade level, and Position 2: Baffles set all the way down. What I have found is there is very little difference in cut quality between the two positions. You still get that small windrow of grass about 10 inches from the chute opening where the grass is blown down into the turf, with either baffle position.
So, for now, I am keeping the baffles all the way down. Might as well.
I still have to try removing them totally and will see if that affects the clipping dispersal.
Yes, thanks RG. I thought I was going crazy or somthing because I was pretty sure that the XF1 had that front welded in baffle.
Thanks for clearing that up.
Posted via Mobile Device
You're quite welcome my friend.
I knew your Gravely has the tunnel deck that doesn't have the inner baffle, so I figured that must be what you were asking about about rather than the piece that is adjustable by moving it up and down on the inner baffle.
I installed, then removed the discharge side baffle on our 272 while mowing a thick, heavily fertilized lawn yesterday and witnessed the line of grass appear then disappear. This was with a 72 inch deck with the baffle in several positions before removing it. I believe there is a low pressure area just below the baffles edge caused by the airflow over the top that pulls a percentage of clippings down. This would be alleviated by raising it higher that the cutting edge or roving entirely. What if like to do is either add or remove material from the end to stop the problem. When the growth settles down its a non-issue though

Jacqueline Woodson, a bestselling author and a world-esteemed novelist, is back with a brand-new masterpiece - Another Brooklyn. This is a story about friends and friendship, a time back in the '70s when August (the main character) and her girls shared everything with each other and could spend hours, if not days chatting about every single thing in the world. Back then, Brooklyn was a place they called home, a place where they knew they were young, talented, full of potential and capable of doing great things.
The girls knew exactly what their futures would be like - marvelous. However, life turned out to be "a bit" different from what they expected. Brooklyn wasn't all bright and shiny, and, while being an inspiration to the girls, it was also a really dangerous place where young mothers were disappearing every day, scary men were coming after little girls in the dark corners and the ghosts were following every single resident.
Madness was a big part of Brooklyn, and there was no escaping that. Another Brooklyn is a fundamental novel and talks about that time when children turn into adults, when little girls become young women. This is a story about 4 girls that went through heaven and hell together, a story about 4 friends that dream about growing up and conquering the world, but had to deal with a lot pain and disappointment along the way.
Will they be able to stay best friends despite all the struggles, or will their friendship fail and get cut in pieces? Jacqueline Woodson delivered a deep, powerful, emotional novel that's simply unforgettable.
