Former AC Milan and Inter star Ronaldo admits he may hang up his boots. The 32-year-old spent nine months on the sidelines after rupturing a tendon in his left knee while playing for AC Milan in February but returned to action earlier this week, playing 22 minutes of an exhibition match.
Ronaldo's contract with Milan expired in the summer and he has been training with Brazilian outfit Flamengo in an effort to return to full fitness.
The three-time world player of the year has voiced his desire to resuscitate his career at either Flamengo or Manchester City - and turned down an offer to join Italian side Siena earlier this month - but admits doubts remain over making a comeback.
"I don't know if I will continue to play or if I will retire," Ronaldo said in an interview with La Gazzetta dello Sport. "I have not taken a decision yet.
"I am in no hurry to make a decision. I want to complete my recovery.
"I could decide tomorrow or in a month's time what to do, but I still don't know."
The former Barcelona, Real Madrid and Inter Milan striker added that while he was happy to return to action in the charity game in Morocco on Monday, he is under no illusions as to how much work still needs to be done.
"It was beautiful to return to play because football is my life," he said. "But it was just an exhibition as I only played for 22 minutes.
"Professional football is a different issue."

Oct 19, 2010 Russ Tarby Uncategorized
Five days after being elected chairman of the Onondaga County Republican Committee, Tom Dadey found himself in a particularly sour political pickle.
On Oct. 1, the former state Senate candidate had prevailed over Salina GOP leader Bill Tassone at the DoubleTree Hotel in DeWitt to take over the county GOP from Tassone's pal, incumbent chairman John DeSpirito.
Then on Oct. 6 County Executive Joanie Mahoney – a renegade Republican who had backed Dadey's campaign for the chairmanship – unexpectedly endorsed Democrat gubernatorial candidate Andrew Cuomo.
What would Dadey do?
The county's top elected official, a Republican, had refused to back Carl Paladino, a fellow Upstater and the GOP's primary victor in the campaign for governor. Not only did Mahoney reject her party's candidate, she publicly embraced Cuomo, a downstate Democrat and a liberal to boot.
What could Dadey do?
He did what politicians usually do. He called a press conference.
With a "Paladino for the People" poster gracing the podium, Dadey insisted that Mahoney's decision to cross party lines "in no way reflects the spirit of the Republican Party, nor does it signal that our party will just stand by and let another Cuomo assume the governor's mansion."
Now her critics are calling Mahoney a "RINO" – Republican In Name Only.
Another big RINO
Joanie Mahoney isn't the only prominent CNY Republican to endorse Cuomo. Former state GOP chairman J. Patrick Barrett of Manlius is also backing "Prince Andrew" for governor.
Though he led the state Republican committee from 1989 to 1991, Barrett appears on a 30-second pro-Cuomo TV commercial and has donated $54,940 to Prince Andrew's campaign, according to the state Board of Elections.
Now which state department keeps records on how many fat contracts Barrett's businesses have received from the Democrats who run Albany?
Teachers' unions blamed
Former U.S. Sen. Al D'Amato minces no words.
On Sept. 29, YNN's "Capital Tonight" anchor Liz Benjamin asked the prominent Long Island Republican to identify the "special interests in Albany" which he blamed for ruining New York state.
D'Amato promptly named the teachers' unions as the prime culprits quickly followed by the CSEA and hospital workers' unions.
Those collective bargainers, D'Amato said, "buy the government in this state," and the pension and retirement benefits they demand "are choking our cities" and other Empire State municipalities.
Music Mondays at Atillio's
Hotshot guitar picker Tom Bronzetti, an alumnus of Liverpool High School, is fronting a cookin' combo at a new Monday-night session in Little Italy at Atillio's, 700 N. Salina St., down city in Little Italy. Bronzetti's trio also features his vocalist sister, Alicia Bronzetti, and upbeat bass player Joey Arcuri.
The live jazz will continue at Atillio's from 7 to 11 p.m. every Monday through October. Admission is free and the food is fine! For reservations, dial 218-5085.

Well, it's everywhere. Crime, I mean.(You didn't think my rose-coloured glasses were that heavily tinted, did you?)Every time I open the local paper or turn on the news there's another armed robbery reported or another shooting in Marseille. Yesterday a 17-year-old boy was shot dead in Marseille outside an apartment block, La Castellane. The sapeurs-pompiers (fire brigade/paramedics) arrived promptly but couldn't save the boy from the seven rounds fired into his body from a kalashnikov rifle.
Marseille's long had a reputation for violent crime and the latest version of urban warfare in France's second city combines cocaine dealing with kalashnikovs.
A few weeks ago another youngster, Ali Attia, was shot dead in his cousin's restaurant in a café in Saint-Antoine, a quartier in the north of Marseille. His killer strolled in with a kalashnikov and shot him as he sat at the dinner table.
These tit-for-tat killings are referred to in the Provençal press as a war of the clans - gangs and families vying to control cocaine supply in Marseille. But there are also casual killings when young men loaded up with cocaine take offence at a passing glance from another kid in the quartier. Guns are used as casually as fists once were. The ex-wife of a friend of mine was shot in the head some time ago as she walked down a road in Marseille in daylight. Obviously not knowing what had hit her, she was rushed to hospital and luckily survived. What had hit her was of course a stray bullet from a gun being used by a local guy to settle some imbecilic score - drug payment or other.
Since la crise started to bite in Provence as elsewhere in Europe, there seems to have been exponential growth in the business of armed robbery too. In and around Avignon for example, a series of recent armed robberies have targetted businesses like McDonalds and Quick (a drive-through takeaway). Supermarkets like Intermarché have been frequently hit too. The police in Avignon caught six teenage boys within minutes of the Quick robbery. Turning up to the scene of the crime with admirable rapidity, the unit made a tour of the vicinty and found six armed lads in a car counting cash.... Back to crime school, boys - you haven't learnt the basics.
Another criminal gang that needs to go back to crime school tried to blow up a bank in Gardanne in the Bouches-du-Rhone this week. They used explosive to blast the safe that feeds the cash distributer. But they didn't use enough and the safe stayed intact. They did however blow out the windows of an elderly resident's house. And they also apparently managed to get themselves filmed by the CCTV camera, also unaffected by the blast.
Crime isn't always violent, of course. Marseille has just seen the trial of a counterfeiter money-maker, Michel Vialle, who bagged himself a profit of around 150,000 by stealing the special paper used to make money, then forging a bunch of euros and Algerian dinar. (Actually the paper theft was violent. A vehicle carrying the paper was blasted open to carry out the theft.) Vialle - nicknamed le canard - the Duck - I have no idea why - told the police he was pretty astonished at the success of his forged euros. He hadn't expected them to be accepted all over the place, but they were. He was caught after a bloke saw him burning a few counterfeit bills, outside, and later handed burnt fragments to the police. The police went to the site and found a toothpick Vialle had discarded by the notes. It had his DNA on it. It must be the first time in history, surely, that a counterfeiter has been trapped by a toothpick.
Last week I went to see the French film Les Lyonnais, starring the increasingly watchable Gérard Lanvin. Directed by Olivier Marchal, it's a hard-hitting film about gypsy crime families in the 50s and ensuing decades. Based on the real history of Edmond Vidal, nicknamed Momon, it shows the excessive violence of that milieu and that era. It borrows a bit too much use of imagery and episodes from The Godfather, but nevertheless it's a very good film.
Provence also has a very large community of gitanes, officially recast as gens de voyage these days. I don't give two hoots for the politically correct terminology - one of my neighbours out here in the forest is a gitane and the first thing she ever said to me after announcing her name was "Je suis une gitane". The gypsies of Provence hail mostly from Spain originally and still have a strong presence in the Camargue, the marshy wetlands south and west of Arles. But sites, official and otherwise, are dotted all over Provence. I have been told that the prisons here are largely controlled by the gitanes - internally, I mean. I've also been told that some years ago there was a battle in L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue between local gitanes and the maghrebin community. Apparently, the gypsies took offence at something done by young maghrebin guys and turned up at their estate in the evening and started shooting out windows in the tall apartment blocks. I was told that the police were informed but declined to get involved, feeling perhaps that this was just another, if smaller, war of the clans. Maybe it's an apocryphal story. But maybe not.
What is noticeable in Provence is that very often the wheels of justice turn quickly. If a criminal is nabbed quickly, and the evidence is clear and simple, the offender can find himself in court and in jail within days. I recall a case where a young driver was stopped by police for traffic offences and swore at them. He was in court the next morning, convicted and jailed. The police respond quickly to crime - not always but often - and the courts tend to hand out punishments fairly freely for anti-social behaviour.
There's also petty crime all over the place and even that tends to be reported by people and documented by the police even if little can be done to catch offenders. My neighbour came out of his house one morning not long ago to find his car propped on a breeze block. A wheel had been stolen. A few years before, his previous car had been stolen. This is up a track outside a small village. Other neighbours have had petrol stolen out of their cars and tractors. One had a large agricultural trailer nicked. My nearest neighbour called the cops one night when burglars were breaking into her house. The intruders buzzed off. Other near neighbours had a young guy walk into their home and steal cash, a satnav thing and a digital camera. He had the nerve to return a few nights later but this time was scared off.
Last year, a disgruntled neighbour asked me if I'd seen anyone hanging around his land just before Christmas. No, I said. Why? "I came out to pick my olives" he said "and they'd all been stolen. It's completely uncivil." He's right of course. But at least the thieves didn't turn up with kalashnikovs.

Christmas Eve our local Intermaché was patrolled by gendarmes with machine guns. Why? It had been robbed at gun point some months earlier.ReplyDelete
Yep. There seems to be an increase is serious crime - particularly armed robbery of businesses - but that's mainly an impression. I haven't researched it. What's going on in Marseille though is clearly out of hand. Kids slaughtering each other - but the drug money they're fighting over is huge.ReplyDelete

Solar photovoltaic (PV) panels are designed to convert the sun's energy into electricity to power your home's lights and appliances. A typical size is 4kWp and is made up of 16 panels.
Electricity is passed through an inverter which powers your home. A monitor will be installed to show you how much electricity you are generating. Any electricity that you generate but don't use can't be stored, but it can be exported back to the grid. We'll pay you for any electricity you export back, on an annual basis.
A solar PV system doesn't need bright sunlight in order to operate and can generate electricity even on cloudy days.
Currently you could save over £300 a year based on how much electricity you generate, the amount you save on your electricity bill and the amount of electricity you export back.
Any electricity that is generated but not used can't be stored but it can be sold back to the grid and we'll pay you annually for it. The current export tariff is 4.10p/kWh.
You can maximise your savings by optimising the amount of electricity generated that you use at home. We generally assume that customers use half of what they generate, but there is no limit. The more you use what you generate the less electricity you will have to buy.
Our new Microgen Online system is exclusively for Power NI Microgen customers. With this new service you can submit your generation and export readings online, view your previously submitted export and generation meter readings and keep track of all your payments. Please note - you must have solar PV installed in order to avail of this service. Find out more
*Typical generation from 4kWp system is 3,000kWh. Savings of around £317 per year equate to payments for export and electricity bill savings. The Power NI export price is 4.10p/kWh until 30 September 2017 and it is assumed that 50% of the electricity generated is exported and 50% is used within the household.
A typical system is 4kWp and costs around £4,725 but we can install anything from a 1kWp to 100kWp system.

International Schools Database
Find, research and compare the best international schools
Featured International Schools
Check out a small selection of the best schools in our database, from every corner of the world.
Find Schools
Our expanding database lists every international school in 33 cities worldwide - that's more than 1,000 international schools in total.
Get Information
We find out all the nitty gritty details for you, including full fee breakdowns, class sizes, extra curricular activities and much more.
Personalised Results
Based on your personal preferences, we score schools in your chosen city so you can see the best options right away.
About the International Schools Database
We're here to help you make one of your most important expat parenting decisions; where to send your children to school.
The Problem
As expat parents ourselves, we know how challenging it can be to choose an international or English school for your children - especially in a new or foreign city.
First, finding all of the available schools in a foreign city is not easy. Second, the information that is readily available lacks any of the important details. And to make things even more difficult, contacting these schools to get answers to your questions is slow and frustrating.
Then when you finally settle on some potential schools, you end up spending yet more time chasing down the finer details that are relevant to you and your children.
We know it. We experienced it ourselves.
And now we want to make it easier for other expat parents out there.
The Solution
We have collected all of the important information about every international school in dozens of cities worldwide. We personally contact every school in our database to get answers to those questions that can make or break your child's experience in their new school. From fees to languages to extra-curricular activities, we've done all the research for you.
We know all too well that every family and every child is different. That's why you can personalise all of our research to your unique situation; search based on how many children you have, their ages, your preferences, and much more.
For example, you can choose the number and ages of your children, and automatically you will only see schools available for those ages (with prices adjusted accordingly). If you're only interested in a specific language or curriculum, you can search using those parameters too. Whatever you're looking for, we'll help you find it.
Don't take our word for it; here's what our users have to say.

After four beaming badminton players had their places confirmed, there are 121 athletes down and 429 to go in the selection of GB's self-styled "greatest ever" Olympic team.
But even among those already announced, a host of controversies have raised questions over the way sports collectively funded to the tune of £501m over four years are run and prompted concern over whether it will be the best possible lineup. Over the past week a glut of bitter allegations of favouritism, infighting, sham marriages and nepotism have begun to take the shine off the "One Team GB" rhetoric.
From the omission of a soon to be world No1 taekwondo fighter to the decision to cut the number of places on offer to wrestling from three to one; plus claims, rejected by an independent tribunal, that fencing selectors are biased towards a particular club and individuals, the British Olympic Association has been left to deal with the fallout.
On Thursday GB Taekwondo will sit down with the BOA's qualification standards panel and seek to explain why Aaron Cook, who quit its high-performance system last year to train on his own, has been left out. It will argue that international rule changes about the way head-shots are scored make Lutalo Muhammad a better medal prospect than Cook, despite him being ranked 56 in the world. Whatever the outcome, and the BOA appears minded to insist that Cook is reconsidered, more recriminations will follow.
A home Games was always going to give rise to more controversy than previous Olympics. For one thing, athletes are even more desperate than usual to be there and take the opportunities on offer. In many cases, the quest to appear at the London Games has become all consuming.
In sports that have been granted "home-nation places" there are no international qualifying standards in place to guide selectors, leaving more grey areas and tending towards subjectivity. Even before the current crop of controversies, Britain's rhythmic gymnastic team had taken on their own governing body and won at an independent tribunal in order to secure a Games place.
Those who narrowly miss out in marginal calls will inevitably appeal. That appears to have been the case in judo, where the 14 categories gave rise to a number of appeals but all the decisions were ultimately endorsed by the BOA.
For another, Britain will compete in a whole host of Olympic sports in which it has no pedigree, by virtue of host-nation places. So all of a sudden governing bodies not used to being in receipt of public money or selecting Olympic teams were thrust into the limelight.
Of more concern is the question of whether governing bodies making the decisions are conducting their deliberations in a fair and transparent way.
Governance issues in taekwondo, which came to a head in the two years that followed Beijing, show the extent to which a sport that is succeeding in performance terms can still be failing in governance terms.
Liz Nicholl, the chief executive of UK Sport – the body responsible for ensuring the unprecedented sums poured into ensuring Team GB triumphs at its own party are translated into precious metal – said it had improved significantly over the past two years thanks to tough threats.
She also points to other instances – including basketball and boxing – where UK Sport has taken bold action, going as far as to take direct control of the former and insisting on a complete overhaul of personnel and processes at the latter.
Nicholl said the drive to overhaul boardrooms would step up a gear after London, with governing bodies told in no uncertain terms that they must meet higher standards or face a threat to their funding. "The next step up in the sporting landscape for these sports governing bodies has to be good governance. The broader leadership of sport has to take the next step up for the Rio [2016] cycle," she said.
Andy Hunt, the Team GB chef de mission and British Olympic Association chief executive who is determined to raise the organisation's profile and secure a wider post-Games role than its traditional "travel and tracksuits" remit, defended the selection criteria in place. "Policies for 2012 are the best they've ever been. We've spent so much time making sure the selection policies are as black and white as they can possibly be," he said.
"We always knew this would be a busy period reviewing nominations and potentially considering appeals. We just happen to have had a number of individual sports where there is often a balance between objective and subjective judgment and we have had to get involved and apply our own tests."
Part of the problem is the lack of unanimity in selection procedures across sports, and a lack of transparency in how those decisions are made. In some sports, the criteria are black and white. In others, such as taekwondo, they remain opaque. GB Taekwondo's case has not been helped by its insistence on staying silent, apparently at the behest of lawyers concerned it could prejudice the appeal process.
The BOA's decision to deny wrestling two of the three home nation places on offer proved that it was not afraid to make difficult calls. The decision was made purely on performance grounds – it had failed to meet the criteria it had set itself in two categories, while Olga Butkevych represents a genuine outside medal chance in the third – and on the basis of its legacy plans.
In certain quarters, the row over wrestling – which imported training partners from eastern Europe in 2007 who went on take places on the team in what Nicholl describes as a "high-risk strategy" – has become a symbol for the "plastic Brits" debate. But Hunt insisted that was not a consideration: "I can 100% confirm there was no discussion on plastic Brits whatsoever within the panel."
Nicholl rejects the suggestion that UK Sport's no-compromise funding formula risks dragging sports out of shape, chasing medals at all costs regardless of the consequences for their long-term growth. "We don't just invest in success, we invest in potential as well. It's about developing the system, giving confidence that they can deliver athletes that will also compete in 2016 and 2020. At the end of the day, tThe sports are responsible for all the big decisions."
Asked whether the £3.5m invested over eight years in wrestling in return for a single Olympic place had been well spent, Nicholl said: "It's a disappointment to us that the sport wasn't able to reach the benchmark it set. They had the resources to do that. They will look back and consider whether their strategy was wise."
Hunt conceded that the fallout and recriminations from the past week would continue to reverberate and admitted bigger controversies are likely. "We're not afraid to take difficult decisions. We can be sure there'll be more to come."

The city of Christchurch - the second largest city in New Zealand - was hit by a strong earthquake early today, 4 Sept. 2010. The earthquake registered at 7.0 magnitude. The effect caused power cuts and raptured roads and damages to buildings. So far, no casualty has been reported.
New Zealand is located along the Pacific Ring of Fire where active volcanoes and earthquakes occur. New Zealand also had a strong shake felt last year in the South Island's Fiordland.

On the road to small business growth, access to capital is often the major bottleneck. Young businesses often don't have the backlog of success that traditional lenders want to see to make a decision. That leaves you, the business owner, stuck in third gear, pumping the brakes instead of opening things up.
We can ditch the driving metaphor at this point.
Non-traditional lending comes with it's own set of problems, mainly revolving around the high cost of capital. Since your business is an unknown quantity, lenders look to higher rates to make up for the increased risk of default.
Invoice-based financing tries to walk a thin line between uncollateralized, credit-based financing – a credit card or classic business loan – and a line of credit based on collateral. This allows young businesses to access capital, as long as they're bringing in business.
This isn't as simple as it seems, so you don't jump in with both feet without doing the research. Hence, this post.
What is invoice-based financing?
Invoice-based financing is a way to gain access to credit by borrowing against uncollected invoices. In effect, you sell off a future income stream for a discount in order to gain instant access to the money those streams promise.
Simple. Right?
Let's talk real life examples. You're a web design business with a bunch of local customers. These people are great. Of course, I am kidding. Your clients are death and taxes when you're working on their site, but, as soon as payment is due, you're hunting them down like Private Ryan.
Invoiced-based financing turns potential payments into an actual payment, based on a series of factors. First and foremost is risk. You did a $100,000 job for Tina, the owner of an as-of-yet unopened winery. Well, you're not going to get a lot of credit for that. Conversely, you did a $2,000 for the local IBM office. That's gold.
The lender will take the invoices you bring to them, figure out how much you got – let's say it's $150,000 – and give you somewhere between 75 percent and 90 percent of the total value up front. You'll still get the remaining value once the invoice is paid.
Once you've got this bundle of invoices, you can approach an invoice-based financing lender to see what options you have. The first thing you'll discover is that this kind of lending comes in two main flavors – invoice factoring and invoice discounting.
Invoice factoring compared to invoice discounting
When you get financing through an invoice factoring firm, that firm will take on the collection of the debts you've borrowed against. That means the lender will be the one that accepts and processes payments for the invoices.
This has the upside of taking a lot off your plate. You won't have to worry about chasing down clients or keeping track of payments they've made and payments you owe the lender. The major downside of factoring is its impact on the customer experience.
Since the customer is paying the factoring firm, they'll know that you're using a lender. That can affect the work they seek from you and the amount they're willing to pay. Invoice factoring is a nice option for smaller businesses because it takes some of the pressure off the business.
Invoice discounting is more like a revolving credit line, where each invoice you send is also sent to the lender, who will then release a percentage of the invoice to you immediately. Instead of using a bundle of debt to borrow against, you're borrowing against your ongoing revenue stream.
Invoice discounting leaves the collection to you, the business owner. This is great for larger companies, as they usually have a collection system in place already. In effect, you're just getting paid sooner – for a fee.
Fees for invoice-based financing
When you borrow against your debts, you're borrowing against an asset. Invoice factoring and invoice discounting are simply two versions of the same secured loan. That means that you're going to pay interest on the loan and fees on the service.
There are lots of different systems for determining how interest is charged. The lender may apply an interest charge on a daily or weekly basis, or you may be charged a flat interest rate. This is, of course, on top of the fee you'll pay upfront.
Even with all these fees, you're still in a good place. Because invoice-based lending is a secured loan, interest rates are going to be lower than if you just asked for cash with no backing.
Obviously, rates will depend on who you are, who you work with, how much capital you need, and what the prevailing interest rates look like. Keep in mind that the length of these loans is usually spelled out days or months, not years. That means that your APR is going to be high, while the total you pay will be lower.
For instance, if you borrow $100,000 at a 17 percent APR for 90 days, you'll pay $4,250 in interest.
Final thoughts on invoice financing
Borrowing against your future revenue can be a great way to get financing, especially if you're that young business with plenty of customers and a dearth of payment history. You'll get cash up front, unlocking your ability to make necessary purchases ASAP.
On the other hand, if you can manage to get a revolving line of credit from a bank, you'll probably want to just skip over this sort of borrowing. It's more expensive than borrowing from a bank and requires more hoop jumping along the way.
If you're interested in this sort of financing, I'd recommend checking out a comparison site like Fundera or Lendio. You should also talk to your accountant and your bank, as they may have a better idea of the available options and how your choice will impact your business overall.
If you've had experience with invoice-based funding or another non-classic funding source, I'd love to hear about it. Please drop a line in the comments or shoot me an email. If you want more small business tips and insights, swing over to Capterra's Knocking Down Doors blog. Good luck.

Early Childhood Action Day 2011 is sponsored by PennAEYC (the Pennsylvania Association for the Education of Young Children) with support from Pennsylvania Partnerships for Children, the Pennsylvania Child Care Association, Fight Crime Invest in Kids, Public Citizens for Children and Youth, the United Way of Pennsylvania and local AEYC affiliate chapters (Delaware Valley, Pittsburgh Area, York Area, Central Susquehanna, Central Region, Capital Area, Monroe County, NE Penn, NW Penn, Lehigh and Northampton, Lancaster Area, Lebanon Valley, Bucks County and Eastern Penn).
Nearly 675 early childhood education advocates from across the state converged in the Capitol Rotunda today for Early Childhood Action Day 2011 and to meet with legislators about the importance of continued investments in early learning programs.
Those in attendance came to stand in support of early childhood investments including Pre-K Counts, Head Start, Keystone STARS and child care subsidy and to thank Gov. Tom Corbett and his administration for championing these programs. While advocates sent a message that early childhood education investments appear to be protected for now in the governor's 2011-12 budget request, there is more work to be done to ensure all children have access to quality learning programs that create a solid foundation:
Only 3.5 percent of child care slots for children birth to 4 years old are in the highest quality programs - achieving Keystone STARS four rating or other accreditation.
Lt. Gov. Jim Cawley kicked off the rally by speaking about why investing in early childhood education is so important to the Commonwealth. "Pennsylvania faces tough choices as we rise to the challenge of a $4 billion budget deficit. But Governor Corbett and I understand the importance of investing in early childhood and so this budget maintains support for critical developmental programs," Cawley said, noting the budget includes nearly $38 million for Head Start and more than $83 million for Pre-K Counts.
Other speakers included Sen. Pat Browne (R-Lehigh) and Rep. Phyllis Mundy (D-Luzerne), co-chairs of the Early Childhood Education Caucus, a nearly 90 member, bi-cameral, bi-partisan group; Lloyd Lamm, First National Bank of Pennsylvania; Jane Ervin, president of Community Services for Children, Allentown, and concerned parents.
"As a member of the Early Childhood Education Caucus, I am committed to protecting and preserving state support for the vital early childhood education programs that give young people the opportunity to succeed in school and later in life," said Sen. Pat Browne. "Now more than ever we need to ensure these children receive the proper tools to succeed. Over the past few years it has become clear that businesses, business leaders, and law enforcement officials in the Commonwealth understand the importance of becoming shareholders and supporters of early childhood education programs.
"I applaud the advocates here today for voicing their support for early childhood care and education programs. These advocates understand that high-quality early childhood programs are a smart investment - one that, over time, pays for itself and then goes on to generate billions of dollars in savings and revenue for government budgets, increased earnings to participants' families, and reduced costs to crime victims," said Rep. Phyllis Mundy. "I will do all in my power to ensure that funding for our state's early childhood education programs is restored, and I urge my colleagues to do the same."
Bringing a business perspective to the event was Lloyd Lamm, president of the Harrisburg office of First National Bank of PA."Investments in early learning will boost Pennsylvania's economy today, create jobs, and ensure that Pennsylvania's businesses will have a workforce with the 21st century skills needed in today's world," Lamm told the crowd. His words echoed a recent report by America's Edge which showed that $1 invested in early care and education in Pennsylvania generates nearly $2 for local economies.
"I believe if we invest in children and their education, we invest in the future," said Jane Ervin, CEO and President, Community Services for Children, Allentown. "I urge our legislators to put children first by protecting the investment in early learning. Early childhood education saves taxpayers money in the long run in educational remediation, welfare, criminal justice, and other public spending."
"Education is a collaborative effort. And as a working parent, I feel confident that both the child care center and I worked together to cultivate my children's learning and development," said Nicole Coleman, a mother of three from Pittsburgh. "The staff in a quality child care facility works together with parents to lay a strong foundation for our children, and for their future."

Published May 1994
by Thomas Hoadley
In 1954, chief counsel for the NAACP, Thurgood Marshall, successfully argued Brown vs. Board Of Education. Juan Williams of the Washington Post recently wrote that because of Brown: "Today black Americans graduate from high school and college at historically high rates; the result is an unprecedented black middle class, both in size and political clout." Two years after-Brown, Sheree Cunningham was born in new Jersey. she was educated in our public schools, and attended Ewing Township High School, between Trenton and Princeton.
When talking to our newest County Court Judge, you can feel the radiating energy. It was this early drive that propelled our Judge into high school athletics. She excelled in basketball, field hockey, and volleyball. This energy was applied to the classrooms. She took college preparation courses, and graduated from Ewing in 1974. her parents both worked and had not gone to college. She headed for the less expensive State University at Rutgers, and graduated in 1978. The Judge applied herself at Rutgers in her off-campus activities. She was awarded the University's prestigious Paul Robeson Award. This was based not only on top grades, but also worthwhile community activities.
Having developed a strong social conscience, she worked with teams of students on projects for the State of new Jersey in nearby intercities. This was a person in college that not only applied herself to her studies, but worked in the surrounding area to better conditions for the disadvantaged. It was natural for her to turn this energy, coupled with a social conscience, into a career of public service. She wanted to go to law school. Many of her peers believed that Howard University Law School was the finest in the country. The Law School is in the center of Washington, and in the center of national policy making. It is also considered by its students to be a university graduating of "legal giants". The school is frequently visited by national policy makers. There was a real interaction between the Howard students and the policy makers of the Federal Government. During summers she worked for the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights, and for a law firm. She turned her energy to grades, and was selected for the Howard Law Journal. She published an article, and became an Articles Editor her last year.
The Cunningham legal family has long been well known and respected in Palm Beach County. Malcolm Cunningham, jr., was one year ahead of her in law school at Howard. They became "friends." This developed into something more serious; they married after law school. Her first job was as a law clerk for Judge Paul H. Roney of the Federal Eleventh Circuit, who lived and worked in St. Petersburg. Malcolm, Jr., worked as a clerk for Judge Hatchett in Tallahassee and New Orleans, and also for a large law firm in Tampa.
Having served their apprenticeships, Malcolm and Sheree moved home to West Palm Beach in 1985. Malcolm, Jr., went to work for his uncle, T.J., and she became a
prosecutor for David Bludworth. She worked her way up from misdemeanors, through felonies, to major crimes, murder cases, and became the felony division chief. She refers to her work prior to the bench as a "career prosecutor."
She had always wanted to be public servant. But she has not let her private life languish. Whitney is nine; Kendall, three; and Frank, seventeen months. She does not have a lot of spare time after working, being a wife and a mother. But she serves on the Board of Trustees of the Norton Art Gallery, works for Link, with Delta Theta Sigma, and her church.
The Bar should be pleased that the Governor selected this lady as our County Court Judge. She distinguishes herself with her wit, intellect, quick reasoning ability, and well directed energy. When asked to describe herself, she stated she was " a fair person, upbeat, and an optimist."
I asked her uncle, T.J., what he thought about all of this, and he replied that this lady is "bright, very bright." He also said the Cunningham family has accepted her as if she was born and raised with them.
Our newest Judge has for years liked to read "inspirational" books. She is herself an inspiration for us all.

The new MyPlate icon emphasizes the fruit, vegetable, grains, protein, and dairy food groups. It will replace the MyPyramid image as the government's primary food group symbol as an easy-to-understand visual cue to help consumers adopt healthy eating habits consistent with the US Department of Agriculture's (USDA) 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans. MyPyramid will remain available to interested health professionals and nutrition educators in a special section of the new Web site. Launched today with MyPlate, a new Web site, ChooseMyPlate.gov, provides practical information to individuals, health professionals, nutrition educators, and the food industry to help consumers build healthful diets with resources and tools for dietary assessment, nutrition education, and other user-friendly nutrition information. Comments Absolutely love the website. Just what I needed to pay attention to my diet. Everything is there and so well presented and clear. Mrs. Michelle Obama, Thank you, Thank you Thank you so much for taking time to do this for us. Posted by Rita Engineer on 6/2/2011 3:23 PM

"When the final fixture was being played everyone knew how close the points were which made for a very exciting atmosphere. During the presentation all of the players were thanked for their efforts and awarded their participation awards before Stanley lifted their winners' shield."

That is a hard one to swallow and implies a cover up greater than the JFK assassination, and that one was huge.
I think the media just do not want to tarnish BHO in any way shape or form. As to his true identity and religious outlook part of me wants to believe he is a Christian though converting from Islam to Christianity is punishable by death.
If one looks at his actions, it would APPEAR that he is looking out for Islamic MB interests...

Dulux owner AkzoNobel to build innovation hub near Gateshead
Dulux paint maker AkzoNobel has announced plans to build a 12.6 million euro (£10.7 million) innovation hub near Gateshead, safeguarding 270 jobs.
The Dutch manufacturing giant said it will house more than 100 scientists and 170 technicians at a new research and development facility in Felling.
The company was eyeing locations in Singapore and the Netherlands before settling on the North East.
Conrad Keijzer, AkzoNobel's executive committee member, said the laboratory will develop protective coatings for heavy industry using simulation techniques that replicate extreme conditions.
"The work at the state-of-the-art lab will have an important impact on our most critical industries," he added.
"Top scientists and technical experts will be working here on future solutions that will offer essential protection to a great variety of products for our customers.
"They will reproduce conditions similar to those of the North Pole, the effects of acid erosion, or a fire on an oil rig."
The move comes after AkzoNobel revealed that it was opening a 110 million euro (£93.7 million) Dulux paint factory in Ashington, Northumberland.
Business Secretary Greg Clark said: "Having grown up in the North East, I am very aware of the strengths of the chemical sector in the region.
"AkzoNobel's significant investment in establishing a new technical innovation hub is further proof that Britain is open for business and underlines the growth we want to see and support in our local economies.
"As we develop our industrial strategy, we are determined to build on the diverse strengths of all of Britain's cities and regions."
The facility is expected to be up and running by the end of 2018.

Madison, WI (PressExposure) April 24, 2009 -- Homeowners and buyers in Wisconsin will benefit greatly from a new federal income tax credit of up to $8,000 for the purchase of a home for a principal residence. In an effort to further publicize the opportunities available, the Wisconsin REALTORS® Association (WRA) is undertaking a new radio and Web-based public awareness campaign.
âWe simply want to get the word out and invite people to contact their REALTOR® to find out more. They have nothing to lose and potentially everything to gain,â says William Malkasian, president of the WRA.
The REALTOR® campaign is intended to educate the public on the new tax program, which gives first-time homebuyers, as well as anyone who hasnât owned a home in the past three years, an income tax credit of up to $8,000 for the purchase of a home for a principal residence.
The law is retroactive to January 1, 2009 and expires December 1, 2009.
Tax benefits of this new program - including historically low interest rates, healthy inventories of homes on the market, and affordable prices - suggest there is not a better time to buy a home in Wisconsin.
âAnyone even thinking about buying a home should consult their REALTOR® immediately to find out more about this new program,â adds Mike Mulleady, Chairman of the Board of the WRA. âThis is real stimulus for real people, but they have to move fast to capitalize on it.â
For more details about the tax credit, visit a new consumer-based Web site developed by the REALTORS® at http://www.wisconsinhomebuyer.org.
The Wisconsin REALTORS® Association is one of the largest trade associations in the state, representing over 14,000 real estate brokers, sales people and affiliates statewide.

PHILADELPHIA -- A company that had been hired to inspect the nightclub pier that broke apart and fell into the Delaware River, killing three people, said Friday it told the owners hours before the tragedy that a collapse was imminent.
City officials also said a grand jury will investigate the collapse to determine whether criminal charges should be filed. Investigators have been looking into whether pier owner Michael Asbell and nightclub owner Eli Karetny knew the 91-year-old pier was unstable.
Three women were killed and dozens of others injured May 18 when the pier supporting the week-old open-air nightclub Heat broke apart and plunged about 40 people into the dark, murky water.
Commerce Construction Corp. said it was hired by Karetny to look into cracks in the concrete surface of the pier. In a statement, the company said it sent a diver to inspect the pier on May 16.
On the day of the collapse, ''the company directly warned Mr. Karetny and Mr. Asbell that collapse of the pier was imminent,'' Commerce said.
Commerce President Terry Zettle has said his company told the nightclub that the foundation was slanting and metal supports were twisted.
Attorneys for Asbell and Karetny did not immediately return calls Friday.

Its performance surpasses that of all animals, both living and extinct, including today's great white shark, the most terrifying modern day creature which packs a 3,600 pound (1.8 tons) bite.
Musculoskeletal biologist Dr Karl Bates said: "Our results show T Rex had an extremely powerful bite making it one of the most dangerous predators to have roamed our planet."
His researchers at Liverpool University made computer models of T Rex's jaw and compared it with similar reconstructions of the skulls of another theropod dinosaur Allosaurus, an alligator and a human.
They found it clamped down on is prey with a crushing force up to almost fifty times more than a large African lion (1,235lbs).

A handy person from Newtown says:

I have used your 58-002 3/16 x 3/16 on many of our storm windows, but one set is different and appears to want 1/8 x 1/8 instead. Does such a thing exist? Any suggestions (other than replacing the windows)? Thanks.. Bill H

The problem is more the width than the height. The 3/16 seems just enough too wide to fit smoothly, unlike all the others. I can try to rig up a way to cut it narrower if that's the only choice. Thanks...

Music from 1:50 to 3:50
Quote from: 40hz on December 19, 2014, 07:54 PM+1! Awesome flick.Among several unforgettable episodes, the following episode is the one that mainly touched me.Music from 1:50 to 3:50, and especially the explosion of music at 2:43, always give me gooseflesh:
(Both characters are sitting on floor between the book stacks, half in the bag, and killing a bottle of Christmas Party champagne.)Hepburn: Tell me, skipper,why have you never married?Don't you like women?Tracy: Oh, yeah. Sure, sure. I like women,specifically as a sex and specifically.Hepburn: But not "pacifically"enough to get married.Tracy: Oh, no, no. That's not it at all.I just never found anyone willing to putup with me. Except Caroline, of course.- Would you like more champagne?Hepburn: No. What about "Caroline, of course?"Tracy: Caroline?... Caroline was a model.Hepburn: Mm-hmm.Tracy: 5'9" in her stockinged feet.Hepburn: You had occasion to measure her?Tracy: Among other things.
i've watched Gosford park.
I want to go back and rewatch Chinatown.

it still doesn't make sense to me. This is just Buzzfeed trying to make us think that the USA intervention is to save them, when it's not. Just think of all the interventions made in the past years, all i see is war, destruction and death. America is not the superhero of the world, get over it. Syrians don't want the USA to make an intervention, that's all that matters.

VP-elect Mike Pence says no need for apology after 'Hamilton' jeers, lecture
NEW YORK, NY (FOX 11 / FOX News) - Vice President-elect Mike Pence spoke publicly Sunday for the first time about the mixed reception he received while attending a performance of the musical "Hamilton," saying he doesn't want an apology from the Broadway cast and that the audience's boos and cheers "is what freedom sounds like."
Pence, a Republican, attended the show Friday night. Actor Brandon Dixon afterward delivered a statement on behalf of the cast that in part said, "We truly hope this show has inspired you to uphold our American values and to work on behalf of all of us. All of us."
Pence on Sunday said he, his daughter and her cousins "enjoyed the show" and that he "reminded them this is what freedom sounds like."
Pence said he wasn't offended and that he didn't want an apology.
"I'll leave it to others to decide if [the stage] was the appropriate venue," he said.
Pence also said that he wants to "reassure" Americans that President-elect Donald Trump will be fulfilling the promise he made in his victory speech to create a government that is for "all people of the United States."

The cost for the internet was great
Hmm can't think of anything at this time
Me 6' 200 lb sitting in middle seat next to somebody that needed 2 seats for self (pls understand I'm not unsensetive nor prejudice just stating a fact). I requested to sit in last row (of both sides of plane that were empty but attendant said sears reserved for attendants - 2).
Comfortable seats, good legroom.
Not enough coffee for breakfast.
seat and seating was nice, boarding was efficient, movies okay
while the dinner was okay, the stromboli which came as a snack of sorts was terrible and caused me to be "on the run" for the next 12 hours. the last five hours of the flight and then at home were awful
The flight itself was fine
I bought the tickets together, but was informed at the ticket counter that i had only purchased tickets—not boarding passes. Boarding passes needed to be purchased by paying extra if my husband and I wanted to sit next to each other. I tried calling the customer service line through kayak and waited on hold for a long time with no indication of wait time. When the gate agent arrived, we asked and were moved to seats next to each other right away. The ticket agent at initial check in was very abrasive and non-solution oriented. if what she was saying was true— that we only paid for tickets and had to pay extra for boarding passes together— that was never made clear during the booking process. It's unlikely I'll use kayak again unless I know for sure what I'm buying.
It was on time
It was crowded and cramped.
Entertainment and crew were great- comfortable seats, got to watch a couple of movies with headphones provided by Delta; forgot mine so I assumed I would be miserable thru the whole 4 hour flight. so glad I was wrong! Would definitely take another flight with Delta... looking into the frequent flyer program as we speak
The flight attendant named Steven went so far beyond the call. He was attentive, he fixed our video system when no one else could and when he learned we were celebrating an anniversary he brought us a present. He was awesome!
Staff not attentive to customer needs. I asked for a blanket and the stewardess never came back to me.
We were probably in the air for 30 mins; great short flight. Plane wasn't filled so had plenty of space.

Here's why:
We're not the seller.
At KAYAK we don't set the prices, so it's not possible for us to guarantee what other companies are selling.
We compile tonnes of data for you
Our service lets you quickly and easily compare results from hundreds of travel sites at once. In this sense, KAYAK is a search engine and we can't guarantee prices we find.
Why aren't prices accurate 100% of the time?
Prices on airline seats, hotel rooms and car rentals can change frequently. Several people may also be trying to buy the same travel option simultaneously. As a result, you may find, on occasion, that certain prices are no longer available.
If you have more questions or if you have a bad price to report to us,
please send us an email and someone from our team will get back to you promptly.

Video Games with the Best Graphics
The Contenders: Page 13
This website needs some work. Infamous: Second Son isn't perfect, but it's a solid game and it's graphics are arguably (still) the greatest ever seen on a console (over two years after it's release-not to mention it was a launch title)...and mine is the first vote?!
The level layouts are very detailed and the animation of the Wisp powers are pretty colorful and essentially eye candy for any Sonic fan. I heard this game was also meant to appeal to Mario fans as well. If so, this game did a good job. - ModernSpongeBobSucks
I am surprised none of the games even involved in this series aren't mentioned, I defy you not to feel like you are there. Seriously though this game's graphics are on par with that of Bethesda's work that was even in Myst's earlier games.
Ok sure, this game isn't very "realistic" BUT as far as graphical entertainment goes and the visuals it is way up there on the Awesome list. If you haven't played this and you are any kind of fan of techno, or computer graphical art then you are definitely missing out, and should give this game a go. Not for people with epilepsy though.

When I first started out as a therapist working with children and families such as Dani's, who had experienced trauma, there were days that I wondered how I could ever cope with the devastating stories I heard each day. My heart broke open for the children, young adults, and families whose lives had been torn apart by grief.
A mentor shared her method of praying for each client after the session was over. She imagined placing them in a light, airy bubble and blowing them up, up, up into the sky, up into God's care.
Soon after I started implementing my own system of praying for and lifting up each and every client I encountered to God, because I knew that He is the only one perfectly capable of caring for, providing for, and carrying us through such loss. At times I had to send those prayer bubbles up right during a session, right when my heart was so cracked open by human pain and suffering that I needed to tap into God's own strength and grace in order to listen, love and help someone along on the journey of healing.
I should clarify that I was a therapist working for a secular organization, sometimes in public schools. Not a single person ever knew it, but the most powerful tool in my therapeutic arsenal was prayer. And I used it all the time.
There was the girl who came into my office the Monday morning after being raped over the weekend. "Lord, heal her from the inside out. You alone can show her how she is loved and valued. Help me find the words to comfort her in this moment."
Scotty told me he didn't have any safe place to go, no one to talk to, not a person who understood what it was like to miss his dad the way he did. "God, be the Father he needs. Guide me as I reach out to him."
Beatriz cried enormous tears as she shared of the abuse that had gone on for years in her home. She wondered aloud why anyone would hurt their own child. "Jesus, you died for this girl. Show her the life you have for her. Give her peace. Help me be a safe place for her."
Carrie was stone faced and said little. Her father had committed suicide in the workshop behind their house, and she had been the one to find him. "God, guide her out of the darkness. Hold her hand through this pain. Help her to find hope again."
Alliy was a girl who was loved. In her darkest moment of desperation she thought that jumping off a bridge was the only way out of her pain. "Oh, Father God, comfort this family. Surround them with your love. Provide peace in the midst of this most horrific storm."
Dani and I continued to meet throughout the school year and into the Summer. I got to know her family, three sisters and amazing mom. I listened through tears of the heartbreak they had endured watching the only man they loved--their husband and father--succumb to illness. We laughed as memories were shared. I prayed a lot for the strength to help carry this family and this special girl through the pain they were facing.
Eventually Dani moved out of that dark place of depression. She saw the community of support around her for the first time in months. She reached out to her mom and sisters in a new way. She stopped needing to write suicide plans because she knew that there was a way out. And that way out was love.
Join me in offering prayers not only for Alliy and her family, but for all the people in our community who are suffering through illness, despair, and darkness. Let us love each other well, because love is the way out.
