I didn't even come close to eating what I usually would have either though. I landed somewhere in the middle I guess. My plan now is to just jump right back on Jenny today and pretend yesterday didn't happen. The food was FANTATIC (if I do say so myself, haha) and considering MOST of it was completely eaten (little to no left overs) I think others must have liked it too, but the company itself really did make the day. My house will remain with company the rest of the week-end including a BIG birthday party on Sun night for my oldest son, so I am FAR from home free with all of the food temptations, I am not going to lie, it is NOT going to be easy. I think it is going to mean a little extra prayer for sure. I have a feeling (you are soo slim) you probably have a hard time understanding this. But for me, I'd love to say I've conquered this giant, BUT it remaains an issue I discovered AGAIN yesterday. Have a great day Debbie.

Must-Know Family Road Trip Tips and Tricks
When planning for a family road trip, you try to think of everything.
Where and when should we make a pit stop? Should I pack food or will we stop at a restaurant to eat? Should I pack games, toys, books, and other kid favorites to occupy the children while traveling?
What kind of snacks is ideal for road trips?
And the list goes on.
As a mom who loves to travel, I have some great family road trip tips to help make preparing for a family road trip easier and more enjoyable. Forget the stress and let me help!
*This post may contain affiliate links, which means I receive a small commission, at no extra cost to you, if you make a purchase using this link. I only recommend products I love or would personally use.
Road Trip Snacks and Drinks for Kids
Without a doubt, one of the most important parts of preparing for a family road trip is to pack snacks. When we are making a long driving trip, I try to make sure I have a snack for each hour of the trip. That doesn't mean we will use all of them, but I at least have them if necessary. I also try to pack snacks I know they love, and maybe a couple of new snacks they have never had before. Here are some of our favorite snacks to pack for a road trip:
- Goldfish Snack Packs
- Trail Mix
- Granola Bars
- Fruit Snacks
- Graham Crackers
- Fresh Fruit
- Water in a Sippy Cup
- Juice Pouches
You'll want to make sure you pack a travel cooler for any snacks or drinks that will need to be kept cold.

Road Trip Activities for Kids
I can promise you that your child likely has the attention span of a fly. At least that feels like the way it is with our kids. I feel like I am CONSTANTLY working to find something to keep them occupied. I know this gets a bit easier as the kids get older, but if you're traveling with toddlers, then please heed this advice: pack A LOT of THINGS. And by things, I mean, books, toys, crafts, games, music, etc. Pack anything that is easy to grab and pass around the car. One of my favorite family road trip tips for traveling with kids is to have something "new" for them each hour. We had a few new toys for each of our kids for the duration of the trip there and back. DON'T feel like you need to spend a fortune on these things. Some of my favorite toys to pack for road trips are:
- Target $$ aisle
- Water WOW! Books
- Matchbox Cars
- Coloring Books
- Books
- Kids Tablet
- Kids Headphones
- New "something" every hour
- Wikki Stix Traveler Set
- Magnadoodle
- Stickers with plain paper
- Family Games
- DVD player with a variety of movies
Random Family Road Trip Necessities
Without a doubt, something crazy will happen on your family road trip. Just know ahead of time, you likely WON'T be prepared for said event, but you can at least TRY. Here are some of the things I always have in the car when going on a road trip with kids:
- Paper Towels
- Tissues
- Bowls, utensils
- Pillow
- Blankets
- Online grocery and diaper/wipe delivery
- Water bottles
- Sunglasses
- Trash Bags

Family Road Trip Pit-Stops
If you're going to be taking a road trip with kids that's going to be more than 2 hours, you'll want to play some fun pit-stops along the way. These pit-stops don't need a lot of planning ahead, they are more of an opportunity for your kids to expel some energy. This will make the car ride easier, and with any luck, they'll be tired enough to take a nap for the next part of your drive. Some of our favorite things to do along the way are to find a park with play equipment, find a restaurant that has a play area, a children's museum, a rest stop with room to run around, or anything that is going to interest our kids and help them use their bottled up energy.
Things to NOT Forget When Packing for a Family Road Trip
- Cell phone, car charger, and wall charger
- GPS with a cord if not using your phone
- Luggage and all necessities for once you arrive at your destination
- Snacks and drinks
- Things to entertain your kids
- Small first aid kit
- Sunscreen and bug spray if needed for trip or pit-stops
- Diapers, wipes, pull-ups and easily accessible change of close for each person
- A digital camera with extra memory chip and battery/charger
- Important stuffed animals or beloved sleeping items
- Flip-flops for quick stops at the restrooms
Taking a family road trip will be an adventure. Things will go wrong, but so many other things will go better than you ever could've imagined. Don't be afraid to try something new. You'll create awesome family memories on your road trip.
So, whether your kids are younger or older, my #1 family road trip tip is to take the trip.

A former substitute teacher and coach at Arroyo High School in El Monte faces a sentence of three years probation for molesting a student.
Daniel Rios, 51, took a deal and pleaded no contest on Thursday to a misdemeanor count of child molesting, according to Sarah Ardalani, spokeswoman for the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office.
Under the plea agreement, she said Rios is expected to be sentenced to three years probation. He must also register as a sex offender and give up his teaching license.
Ardalani said Rios will have to pay restitution to all the victims. He is scheduled to be sentenced Feb. 2 at Pomona Superior Court.
Authorities accused Rios of allegedly molesting five girls between Aug. 1, 2016 and Dec. 30, 2016. The D.A';s Office originally charged him with one felony count of lewd act upon a child and four misdemeanor counts of annoying or molesting a child.
El Monte police began an investigation December 2016 into allegation that there was inappropriate contact between an Arroyo High School teacher, identified as Rios, and several female students. Officers arrested Rios on April 12, 2017.
He resigned his job Feb. 16, 2017. Arroyo High School is in the El Monte Union School District.

Greetings Chico State Faculty!
The campus review process to recognize Exemplary Online (including hybrid and supplemental) Instruction (EOI) will begin soon. To have your course formally reviewed and to receive valuable feedback on your course design:
- Print this document,
- Follow the instructions on the document to complete the Self-Evaluation, and;
- Submit your hardcopy to TLP by May 15th (EOI Evaluation, MLIB 457, Zip 026) or scan and send electronic copies to jaird(at)csuchicoedu.
If you have questions or would like help with the metric (QLT), please reach out to Jim Aird (jaird (at) csuchico.edu or 898-3209). We would love to have the opportunity to help fine tune your course before formal evaluation.
Courses will be reviewed by a panel of your peers (recognized faculty and Instructional Technology Consultants) and scored based on the CSU system-wide metric during the summer. If possible, you will present your course and answer questions from the panel (June/July). Courses that score above the minimum threshold on the rubric will be recognized and will receive a letter from the Provost which could be included in the dossier for RTP.
Thoughtful and conscientious organization of the learning materials has been shown to reduce student difficulties and improve their experience and perception of value leading to greater success. Consider enhancing your course to more closely align with the research-based design criteria, the Quality Learning and Teaching (QLT), that promotes student success.

At Millstead School we understand that children with Autism learn more effectively with a range of strategies implemented. At Millstead we employ a range of strategies and approaches to ensure that the learning needs of this group of children are met and that they are able to engage in learning. A strong focus is also placed on developing children's social skills and communication skills. Children are taught within both discrete provision and integrated groups. A range of interventions and teaching methods may be used to teach children with Autism. Regardless of the provision this includes:
Many children with Autism have sensory difficulties which can result in unusual or uncomfortable perception of sound, sense, touch, sight and smell. This means that many children are unable to focus upon teaching activities and are distracted by sound, visual or other stimuli. This has a profound effect upon their ability to learn and impacts behaviour especially when sensory input causes extreme discomfort or pain. As a school we strive to find ways to filter these sensory stimuli and enable our children to deal with them so that they do not affect learning and behaviour. We also take into consideration that children with Autism may have difficulties with flexibility and therefore can require clear visual support to understand routines and expectations. Some of the strategies we employ to try and reduce environmental anxiety and distress are listed below:
● providing an environment which is calm, distraction free and has low level of visual and auditory stimulus where appropriate.
● Providing pupils with a high degree of visual and physical structure to their learning.
At Millstead we recognise that all behaviour has a function . We work closely with families and other agencies to identify functions of behaviours in order to implement appropriate support and strategies.
Specific strategies are used to reduce anxiety and promote feelings of well-being and to modify unwanted behaviours and promote more appropriate ones. Pupils have individual behaviour support plans that are regularly reviewed and updated with parents, healthcare and education professionals and form part of the documentation for the annual review of Statements and EHCPs.
All staff are trained in MAPA in order to ensure that any incident of challenging behaviours are dealt with appropriately and in keeping with school's policies and procedures.

"It's like a disease," Miss Proust said. "It sort of creeps up. It's in the wind, as if it goes from person to person. Poison goes where poison's welcome. And there's always an excuse, isn't there, to throw a stone at the old lady who looks funny. It's always easier to blame somebody. And once you've called someone a witch, then you'd be amazed how many things you can blame her for."
Terry Pratchett's young adult fiction doesn't spare the reader. His first, Amazing Maurice, was a maelstrom of horror, with cannibalism among that thrown at the reader. It was completely unflinching and quite brilliant for it. I Shall Wear Midnight opens with something equally horrific; a young girl has been beaten so severely by her father that she miscarries. Tiffany has to step in and save Mr Petty from brutal mob justice, before saving him a second time from hanging himself.
This is bleak stuff, particularly as Mr Petty is taken back by his wife and while the young girl Amber goes on to play an important role in the book, there is no real justice for her abusive father, just Tiffany's judgement:
"That's the sound of rough music, and they are playing it for you, Mister Petty, for you. And they have sticks! And they have stones! They have everything they can pick up, and they have their fists and your daughter's baby died, Mister Petty. You beat your daughter so hard, Mister Petty, that the baby died, and your wife is being comforted by some of the women and everybody knows that you have done it, everybody knows."
The only remorse he seems to show is trying to set up funeral rites for the dead child before he hangs himself. But life goes on and the reader needs to deal with that. It's gruesome, deeply unsettling (the mania in Tiffany's quote above shows that) but it happens in the world the reader lives in, let alone the Discworld. The best we can do is manage and try and change things in our own way.
Even though The Shepherds Crown is to follow, I was quite sad to reach I Shall Wear Midnight. While the quality of Pratchett's adult novels has slipped since his unbelievable second golden age ended with Monstrous Regiment, the Aching novels have been a joy. This one sees our favourite teenage witch accused of murder after the Chalk's baron dies in her care. His son Roland has been the subject of a literal storybook romance with Tiffany but he is now engaged and she is short of friends.
What's worse is her being pursued by the Cunning Man, a deeply creepy figure with holes for eyes. He has been summoned by Roland's fiancee Letitia, who is jealous of Tiffany. The witch of the Chalk needs to defeat the Cunning Man but also allay the fears of her homeland, who are becoming increasingly suspicious of her.
The Cunning Man is a fantastic dark creation. The Discworld's worst stalker has an epic origin, which he was a witchfinder who fell in love with a witch. When she was being burned at the stake, he was on the verge of freeing her when she seized onto him, burning him to death and producing the horror that stalks witches to this day:
"So great, so fearsome was his hatred for anything that he thought of as witchcraft that he somehow managed to live on despite finally having no body. Though there was no skin to him, no bone any more, his rage was such that he lived on. As a ghost, perhaps. And, every so often, finding someone who would let him. There are plenty of people out there whose poisonous minds will open for him. And there are those who would rather be behind evil than in front of it."
Across the entire Discworld series, Pratchett has explored the darkness that lies within us all and the Cunning Man is a personification of that:
There will be no mercy for a song now silenced. No redemption for killing hope in the darkness. I know you.
You are what happened in Petty's ear before he beat up his daughter.
You are the first blast of the rough music.
You look over the shoulder at the man as he picks up the first stone, and although I think you are part of us all and we will never be rid of you, we can certainly make your life hell.
I think he represents something more than darkness though. I've written before about how the Aching novels are about the challenges we face as we grow old and move through life. Wee Free Men talked of the need to leave your childhood behind, A Hat Full of Sky built upon this, stressing the importance of maturity and selflessness. Wintersmith went further by throwing love into the mix and how it can test a person's priorities. Midnight (as I shall dub it from now on) brings doubt into the series for the first time.
Tiffany's world is not as it should be. When she meets Eskarina Smith (she of Equal Rites fame), she is told how "boy meets girl [is] one of the greatest engines of narrative causality in the multiverse". But the narrative of the childhood friends falling in love, her and Roland, does not happen. She's left to one side as he gets engaged.
Similarly there is fear and agitation about her presence as a witch. A lot of it is to do with the Cunning Man but we have been shown that the Cunning Man is us. She is bluntly told that if she does not have what it takes to confront and defeat him, the witches will take her down when he inhabits her. The stakes are somewhat high.
As ever, there is some lovely messing around with convention. Typically Tiffany would break the spell Roland is under, banish Letitia for casting it and the childhood friends would live happily ever after. In the end, she finds out she actually likes the somewhat wet Letitia, with shades of Magrat from the original Witches series, and the pair along with Amber are subtly drawn as a new coven.
Letitia's monstrous mother is initially drawn as a villain whose comeuppance in the third act will be a fist pump for the reader. But it then turns out the reason she is so horrible is that she is deeply, horrifically nervous about arranging her daughter's nuptials (although she was also threatened by the witch Miss Proust that her former days as an Ankh-Morpork showgirl would be exposed if she kept carrying on).
There's a lovely throwback to old Discworld, in this rather superfluous but excellent footnote:
A message from the author: not all cauldrons are metal. You can boil water in a leather cauldron, if you know what you are doing. You can even make tea in a paper bag if you are careful and know how to do it. But please don't, or if you do, don't tell anyone I told you.
Unfortunately I knew about the reappearance of Eske, one of my favourite Discworld characters from my original reading of the series. Eskarina Smith seems like a missed opportunity that Pratchett got right with Tiffany. By making the wizard Smith so powerful in Equal Rites, she was written into a corner from the off. I assume it was difficult to make her work narratively. It was a shame – I saw her as the Discworld equivalent of Franklin Richards, from Jonathan Hickman's ace Fantastic Four run; a character who could remake the world on a whim.
While Eske was expected, Aching's conversation with future Tiffany at the end of the book came as a joy.
It's a lovely book and such a neat end to the series that I wonder where The Shepherd's Crown will take us. One quibble was I felt the romance with Private Preston was rather heavily dealt with. It became clear this intelligent, cheeky, inquisitive soul would be the perfect match for Tiffany from very early on. But it gives us one of the best final pages of the Discworld saga – it's up there with Thief of Time for me but hard to convey how much heavy lifting the word "Listen" does.
Preston becomes the Chalk's first permanent schoolteacher to pay for his medical training. Pratchett has spoke before about his own tricky relationship with some of his teachers but this doesn't cloud his message of what learning should be about:
"I want a proper school, sir, to teach reading and writing, and most of all thinking, sir, so people can find out what they are good at, because someone doing what they really like is always an asset to any country, and too often people never find out until it's too late…Learning is about finding out who you are and what you are good at and what's over the horizon and, well, everything. It's about finding the place where you fit. I found the place I fit, and I would like everybody else to find theirs."
So we wave goodbye to Tiffany for now and head back to Ankh-Morpork, where we learn Sam Vimes has been confronted with that despicable thing. A holiday. Can the Discworld's top copper swap a truncheon for a bucket and spade? See you next week.

Luck vs NewtonGene Clemons, FBGP Analyst ____________________________________
Quarterback is the undisputed premiere position in the National Football League. Quarterbacks "move the needle" and if your team is without what is considered a franchise quarterback, then you have little to no chance for success. When considering the type of quarterback necessary for success in the NFL, many looked at Peyton Manning as the prototype. While Manning has established himself as one of the most effective quarterbacks ever, it has not equated to multiple championships.
Today's NFL is bigger, faster, stronger, and more intelligent. With more complex and athletic defenses, the need for a quarterback with the ability to escape the pocket and break tackles has put a new value on quarterbacks with athletic skills. Ask most of the mainstream NFL analyst who the new prototype QB is and they will, without hesitation, say Andrew Luck. Luck is considered to be Peyton Manning with athleticism. He has the intelligence (Stanford educated) to perform mentally and the athleticism to be a weapon when he decides to pull the ball down.
The reality is while many drool over Luck and his talents they dismiss the real new prototype quarterback as gimmick.
Like Luck, Cam Newton was the number one overall pick. He was chosen the season before Luck declared but many believe that if Luck would have put his name in the hat he would have been chosen over Newton. Besides, many believed Blaine Gabbert was a better quarterback prospect than Newton anyway (take a moment to process that).
Newton has everything that you want in a quarterback and yet, some would lead you to believe that Luck is the gold standard for the new breed of quarterbacks. While Luck has posted great numbers in his first two seasons, many would not believe that they were not greater than Newton's numbers in his first two seasons.
When comparing their first two seasons, Luck compiled slightly more passing yards (8,196 to Cam's 7,920) and touchdown passes (46 to 40) while throwing less interceptions (27 to 29). Newton's completion percentage is higher (58.8% to Luck's 57%), he's been sacked less (71 to 73), and he's fumbled less (15 to 16). All of these numbers come out as a wash. If you were to take the stats, put them in a bag and shake them up, you never be able to decipher the Luck stats from Newton's numbers.
So why do people speak about Luck as if he has arrived and about Newton as if he still has something to prove? Where is the separation? It must be wins. Not only is the NFC a more superior conference, the NFC South is a tough division. The AFC south is considered by many to be the worse division in the NFL; so do we really want to use win/loss record as a barometer?
So where's the separation? It's in their running ability. While their passing stats don't give a clear definition of greatest, the rushing stats separate the two and pushes Newton far ahead of Luck. Newton's rushing yards doubles up Luck's (1,447 yds to 632 yds) and his rushing touchdowns are nearly two and a half times as many as Luck's (22 to 9), his longest rush is 72 yards, which is 43 yards longer than any Luck run in the NFL, and his yards per carry is still higher than Luck's (5.7 to 5.1).
So, why do people speak about Luck as if he has arrived and about Newton as if he still has something to prove?
Is it because Luck says "gee" and "shucks", while Newton shows pride in what he accomplished? Is it because Newton is a media poster child and Luck seems to run from the spotlight? Luck wears his hat forward; Newton turns his hat to the back. Luck went to a top academic school and Cam went to an SEC school. Luck runs to the sideline after touchdowns and Newton does his Superman celebration after touchdowns. Luck is Midwest and Newton is Hollywood. Luck is scruffy with a beard and Newton is clean cut with a bright smile. Luck is country music and Cam is hip hop! The management identifies with Luck while the workers identify with Newton.
None of those things actually have a bearing on the way they play but it definitely makes people think of the two differently.
Maybe you should ask yourself. Do I really have it right if the stats don't support the argument?

List of methods and equipment that will help me cook bacon in your microwave oven.
I love bacon and I have recently found out it is easier and less messy to make this in a microwave oven.

Using these bacon cooking mugs couldn't be any simpler. You just drape over your slices of bacon around the edges of the mug, cover with a square of kitchen paper and place in the microwave oven for the recommended length of time. The time in the microwave will depend on the amount of bacon you are cooking and the level of crispness you desire.
Listly List - Microwave Bacon Cookware Reviews - Advantages and Disadvantages to Microwaving Bacon, Microwaving Bacon, and Use a Bowl to Cook Crispy Bacon in the Microwave | Home and Garden
Posted by Chef Rob Bacon on October 26th, 2010 We've already discussed the benefits of using stainless steel or non-stick pans when cooking your bacon, or whether baking or frying bacon is better. But what about cooking bacon in other ways? For example, what about cooking bacon in your microwave?
Sir Francis Bacon, who some people think wrote all of Shakespeare's plays, said that "Friendship doubles joys and cuts grief in half." I think that's true of bacon itself. It's a fun food that (served in a wide variety of ways) does indeed double joy and cut grief in half.
S Eating bacon is the best way to start the day, but it can be tough to find the time to cook it in a skillet or waffle iron. Believe it or not, there's a great way to heat it up quickly in the microwave. One Good Thing by Jillee shares this clever trick.

Front-page story in the New York Times today about the latest Internet bubble – and the debate over whether comparisons to the first dot-com bust are legit. With excerpts like this from the Times story, how could they not be?
Twitter, a company in San Francisco that lets users alert friends to what they are doing at any given moment over their mobile phones, recently raised an undisclosed amount of financing. Its co-founder and creative director, Biz Stone, says that the company was not currently focused on making money and that no one in the company was even working on how to do so. "At the moment, we're focused on growing our network and our user experience," he said. "When you have a lot of traffic, there's always a clear business model."
Build traffic and revenues will follow. Where have we heard that before? I remember interviewing Eric Schmidt sometime in the late '90s. He was still running Novell at the time (still a couple of years from joining Google as CEO, which easily qualifies as Best Career Move Ever), and I asked him his thoughts on the then-bubble. "The thing about bubbles," he said, "is they all burst eventually."

Met some gracious ladies in Geddes today. It is sad though, to see such towns in decline.
Platt, on the other hand seems to be thriving. Stopped by the local ice cream shop and met one of the two police officers in town. He assured my, nothing exciting ever happens in Platt. They DO play rock music though, at the "Platt Food Market.
The forecast for tomorrow is rain with East wind. That's a fair trade.

Robert L. Sheketoff for the defendant.
William T. Walsh, Jr., Assistant District Attorney, for the Commonwealth.
The only indictments which were not placed on file with the defendant's consent (see Commonwealth v. Sowers, 388 Mass. 207 , 208 n.1 [1983]) were the four for aggravated rape. G. L. c. 265, Section 22(a), as appearing in St. 1980, c. 459, Section 6. None of the questions now sought to be argued with respect to those indictments was raised below, and there is nothing in the trial transcript to suggest that a miscarriage of justice might flow from our refusal to consider any of the questions. See Commonwealth v. Freeman, 352 Mass. 556 , 563-564 (1967); Commonwealth v. Levia, 385 Mass. 345 , 355 (1982). Accordingly, we confine ourselves to a few general observations. 1. On the evidence, each of the rapes was separate and distinct from the other three (compare Commonwealth v. Gurney, 13 Mass. App. Ct. 391 , 400-401, 403-404 [1982]; Commonwealth v. Fitzpatrick, 14 Mass. App. Ct. 1001 , 1002-1003 [1982]; contrast Commonwealth v. Jones, 382 Mass. 387 , 392-395 [1981]), and any possibility of aggravation of penalties was avoided by the imposition of identical concurrent sentences on each of the indictments. Compare Commonwealth v. St. Pierre, 377 Mass. 650 , 663 (1979). 2. The assistant district attorney who tried the case and who is now accused of a conflict of interest did not sign any of the indictments, and there is nothing in the record to suggest that he made, or even participated in, any of the decisions as to the nature and number of the indictments which would be sought or tried. Compare Commonwealth v. Reynolds, 16 Mass. App. Ct. 662 , 664 n.4 (1983). We note that the minimum sentences which were imposed were twenty years less than those recommended by the assistant and that the maximum sentences were thirty years less than those recommended. See Commonwealth v. Shagoury, 6 Mass. App. Ct. 584 , 592 (1978), cert. denied, 440 U.S. 962 (1979). 3. The judgments on indictments nos. 81-2373 through 81-2376 are affirmed.
So ordered.

Eddie Lampert Wants to Save Sears but Mall Owners Say Don't Bother
Original article published by The Wall Street Journal
Many landlords have lost faith in the company's chairman and say the department store's brand is outdated.
Eddie Lampert is trying to restructure the department-store chain, aiming for Sears to emerge from chapter 11 as a stronger brand with a smaller store footprint.
By Esther Fung and Lillian Rizzo
Jan. 8, 2019 9:00 a.m. ET
Shopping center owners usually dread the prospect of a big retail operator shutting its doors. In the case of Sears Holdings Corp., many landlords are welcoming it.
That is in large part because these owners have lost faith in Sears chairman Eddie Lampert, his plans to salvage the company and a brand that they view as outdated, many big landlords and retail analysts say.
"I think the country's financial and shopping center executives are tired of Eddie Lampert's vision and the Sears empire," said Nina Kampler, founder of Kampler Advisory Group. "They are done with this retailer."
Mr. Lampert is trying to restructure the department store chain, aiming for Sears to emerge from bankruptcy protection as a stronger brand with a smaller store footprint. He made a $4.4 billion bid late December to keep 425 Sears and Kmart stores open.
A History of Sears: Through Highs and Lows
Sears, an American retail staple since 1886, has been struggling in recent years, closing stores, selling off assets and borrowing money. But it wasn't always this way. Gordon Weil, author of "Sears, Roebuck, USA," looks back on the history of the retailer. Photo: Getty
Otherwise, liquidators have made offers to acquire the stores and liquidate most, if not all, The Wall Street Journal has reported. A court hearing is scheduled for Tuesday to update the judge presiding over the bankruptcy case. Mr. Lampert and other bidders will likely have until a Jan. 14 auction to modify their offers.
Mall owners Simon Property Group and Brixmor Property Group were part of a creditors group that said the retailer's plan to keep stores open rather than pursue going-out-of-business sales would incur substantial expenses, without much expectation of success.
Sears is "pursuing an unjustified and foolhardy gamble with other people's money," the group said in court papers.
In court filings, Mr. Lampert's hedge fund, ESL Investments Inc. rebutted that charge by saying that Simon and Brixmor "have a vested interest in seeing Sears liquidate without regard to the interests of Sears' other stakeholders."
Mr. Lampert and his spokesman didn't respond to requests for further comment.
Landlords have been more patient with others that have filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. Mall owners had fewer objections for turnaround plans offered by Payless ShoeSource Inc. and Mattress Firm Inc. The landlords' cooperation helped the two retailers complete their restructurings, which included new financing and retaining hundreds of stores.
On at least two occasions, mall owners even stepped in to save retailers from liquidation. Simon and mall operator GGP Inc. were part of a consortium that kept hundreds of Aéropostale stores open, while Washington Prime Group and Namdar Realty Group made an unsuccessful attempt at preventing Bon-Ton Stores Inc. from liquidating as they were unable to find enough funding. The department store operator closed 260 stores this year.
Not all landlords oppose Mr. Lampert, especially those without alternative plans for their Sears store. If a Sears is located at the back of the mall with poorer foot traffic, it will be harder to find a replacement tenant. In such cases, landlords may be more willing to cut rents to help retain the struggling retailer as a tenant.
But many landlords say Sears lost touch with consumers years ago. Shoppers complain of the poor selection of goods and store layout that hurt the overall appeal of the attached mall, some mall owners have said.
There are also signs that Sears isn't bringing is as much foot traffic as other department stores. The number of shoppers at Sears stores fell by 11% year-over-year during the recent Black Friday weekend, while shoppers to malls that are anchored by Sears rose 2%, according to data firm Thasos Group. By comparison, traffic at Macy's Inc. and J.C. Penney Co. stores rose 7% and 15% respectively.
Some Sears stores are in locations that developers consider "good dirt." These massive spaces could be split up and rented to other retailers or be torn down for development of other uses, such as apartments.
Taking back stores is important for landlords who want to regain cotenancy rights. These clauses allow tenants to seek reduced rents if an anchor tenant, such as Sears, or a certain number of tenants leave the shopping center. Sears has had control of these rights dating back decades, mall owners said.
Some rents are as low as $3 a square foot and account for a tiny percentage of overall rent revenue, mall landlords said. And if Sears owns the store, there is no rent. Any initial costs related to renovating a space for new tenants could be recouped with higher rents.
"There seems to be more value in the real estate than the rent Sears was paying," said Ami Ziff, director for national retail at real-estate firm Time Equities Inc.

Business advocacy group U.S.-India Business Council (USIBC) has applauded the U.S. House of Representative for approving pro-India amendments to a defence bill which would bolster bilateral defense ties on par with NATO allies of U.S. in terms of sale of weapons and technology transfer.
The amendment which institutionalises the U.S. government's focus on the U.S.-India security relationship, was passed by a voice vote last week. Moved by Congressmen George Holding and supported by Ed Royce, Eliot Engel and Ami Bera, the amendment was incorporated into the National Defence Authorisation Act (NDAA) 2017.
"It sends a powerful signal to New Delhi that the U.S. is a reliable and dependable defence partner," USIBC said in a statement. "This legislation will promote defence trade between our countries and will strengthen military ties. We look forward to the Senate taking action on similar legislation," said USIBC President Mukesh Aghi.
For the U.S., the legislation encourages the executive branch to designate an official to focus on U.S.-India defence cooperation, facilitate the transfer of defence technology, maintain a special office in the Pentagon dedicated exclusively to the U.S.-India Defence Technology and Trade Initiative (DTTI), enhance India's military capabilities in the context of combined military planning and promote co- production/co-development opportunities.
For India, it encourages the government to authorise combined military planning with the United States for missions of mutual interest such as humanitarian assistance and disaster relief, counter piracy, and maritime domain awareness.

Astragalus has for centuries been attributed with immune system boosting properties. Recent research suggests this may be related to how several compounds found in astragalus, including TA-65 and TAT2, help restore the telomeres in immune system cells. This allows them to replicate further to fight chronic viral infections that accelerate the aging of the immune system cells towards senescence. This benefit may not be limited to those suffering from chronic viral infections. Research is showing that non-infectious chronic inflammatory conditions, such as those caused by smoking, may also be tied to immunosenescence that might be ameliorated by telomerase activating compounds.Continue reading

Non-Binary State Issued Licenses
May 9, 2019
In September of 2018, Utah issued the first non-binary drivers license, which was received by Melanie Van De Graaff. This makes Utah one of the eight states in the U.S to offer a third option for state-issued documents and licenses along with Washington; Oregon, Maine, California, Minnesota, Colorado, and Ohio. Similarly, New York is now considering putting no gender identification on birth certificates. NBC news authors, Nico Lang and Kate Sosin state that: "For transgender, non-binary, and intersex people they are still difficult to get." Though, in popular opinion, people are generally surprised at the openness and acceptance of the state of Utah.
Sadly, the support is not completely present for all Utahns. For example, lawmaker, Merrill Nelson, who is the Republican member of the Utah house of representatives representing district 68, wants to ban the allowance of changing gender identity on state issued licences. Luckily, his sponsor on his bill was overridden, and the Salt Lake Tribune stated that "The updated legislation, HB 153, would still set in stone the sex placed on someone's birth certificate. But now, it would allow state residents to list a different gender identity on their driver licenses." The main point in his feud with the states decision to act on societies wants was "the scientific and medical fact that an individual's sex is determined at conception by chromosomal makeup and is not subject to change or self-determination later in life," Nelson wrote. Though this, in part, may be factual, the majority of his argument is small minded, and extremely opinionated.
For those people who identify as neither male or female, they are granted an "X" on their licence. Surprisingly, this option has been available in Utah since 2017 for birth certificates. In an article from NBC News, the subtitle states: "The state has been quietly issuing nonbinary "X" gender markers on birth certificates, driver's licenses and other state-issued IDs". This title is concerning due to the use of the word "quietly." It should not be a hushed and hidden event, rather one's rightful choice of gender identification. This important milestone for Utah went largely unnoticed by media and the internet, but on a positive note, citizens of Utah are also being allowed to change their gender on their state-issued licences, so instead of altering one's gender from an M/F to an "X", one can go from an "F" to an "M".
These events in Utah are being called "Judge Roulette". This has to do with another case involving local person Lex Rigby. Two years ago, Judge Bruce C. Lubeck told the seventeen year old that he could not "in good conscience" allow male Lex Rigby to update the gender on his birth certificate from an "F" to a "M", Lubeck said to Rigby "I seriously hope this won't offend you." This is a prime example as to why these situations are referred to as "Judge roulette" because, whether or not you get a legal option to change your gender, your personal circumstance is entirely up to the mood and personality of the judge that you are presenting to.
On the bright side, Utah is becoming a more open and accepting. Though, this should not have been a problem in the first place, we can find gratitude in the fact that things are changing. It is very easy to find flaws and fixations in today's society, it is important to focus on what we have achieved and that is why this holds value.

Tendering is big business and, if done correctly, can stimulate the South African economy, sustain and grow local businesses. The million Rand question is 'can a start-up enterprise win a tender?' The simple answer is yes, start-up enterprises can also win tenders if fully equipped.
As part of equipping bidding professionals, the Association of Proposal Management Professionals (APMP) will host their 10th annual conference themed Survival of the Fittest, on the 25th of July at Altron Conference Centre.
The conference will equip bid professionals on the latest, action-based insights from leading minds in the bid, proposal and business development space.
In the tender process, it is essential that an enterprise be knowledgeable of the business they want to bid for. In fact, the more knowledge the enterprise has of its supply, the better its odds are of being awarded a tender. The conference will also provide knowledge to business about the tender process and how to complete a tender correctly and be successful.
The conference is also an opportunity to meet like-minded people and share experiences, challenges as well as collaborate to create long-term solutions.
With more than 660 government departments issuing requests for proposals throughout the year, the tender process can be busy, complicated and open to abuse. It is also a sector that is most often misunderstood, with many cries of foul play.
Almost three-quarters of South African small and medium enterprises (SMMEs) do not do business with the government at any level. According to the South African Institute of Chartered Accountants (SAICA)'s 2016 SMME Insight Report, 90% of the SMEs surveyed conducted less than 10% of their business with government at any level. Some 72% do not deal with government at all.
It is a well-known fact, that the rate of economic growth in South Africa is not what it needs to be. The current rate is not nearly enough to reduce the high rate of unemployment in South Africa. Small and medium business can turn this entire statement around.
The Association of Proposal Management Professionals (APMP) was formed in 1989 and is the worldwide authority for professionals dedicated to the process of winning business through proposals, bids, tenders and presentations. APMP promotes the professional growth of its members by advancing the arts, sciences and technologies of winning business.

Cosmetic Dermatology
First OC Dermatology offers a wide variety of cosmetic and medical dermatology services that can treat and manage skin conditions.
Facial rejuvenation, the process of improving wrinkles and reversing the signs of aging, has been an evolving process for the past several decades. Advancements in technology have significantly improved patient options and outcomes. First OC Dermatology associates are well versed in the newest technologies for anti-aging and facial augmentation for optimal patient results, comfort, and beauty. We carry over 20 different laser technologies at our facilities and have been pioneers in adopting various technologies. Having the experience and capability of using different treatment technologies allows for our cosmetic specialists to create treatment care plans specifically tailored to each individual's needs. There is no "one size fits all" when it comes to facial rejuvenation or augmentation. Every patient's face and needs are different. Being treated at a board certified dermatology facility allows for your experienced medical provider to customize treatment plans to focus on bringing out your natural beauty and create a long-term, sustainable skin care plan, specifically for you.

Fillers (Juvederm, Restylane, Bellafill) are an instant way to rejuvenate the face by restoring volume in areas that started to sag or "sink-in" as well as give an instant "lifting" appearance.
Neurotoxins (Botox, Xeomin, Dysport) are best known for their ability to temporarily weaken muscles to help reduce facial wrinkles. These work by reducing the chemical signals between neurons in muscle tissue. More than 7 million cases of Botox/Xeomin/Dysport are performed each year with positive patient reported outcomes! Results are typically seen within 3 to 5 days, with changes up to 14 days after your procedure. Repeat treatments are performed every 4 to 6 months.

House painting may be confusing for many owners who are attempting to steadiness between affordability and longevity. Acrylic art also have the flexibility to be diluted with water. When this is accomplished acrylic art paintings resemble watercolors or oil paintings. They are easily used to switch watercolors and oil paint. In many circumstances acrylic paints are most well-liked over watercolors as a result of as the acrylic paint dries the color does not change as it does with watercolors.\n\nIt's important with concrete to profile the surface area providing more ground for the paint to stick to. Many manufacturers counsel an acid etching resolution. You would possibly feel good that you just etched the surface nevertheless it most likely didn't work.\n\nTo get ideas and be taught other's strategies on oil painting , you possibly can watch applications on TV (normally OPB in Oregon), the internet ( YouTube), purchase painting videos, or take a beginner's class at the local faculty or art supply store.\n\nNow that your card is primed, it's time to remove the masking, and I like to do this while it's still somewhat wet for the sake of ease, just be very careful about how you do it, you don't wish to screw up all that nice work, so just take it gradual and simple while pulling the masking off your automobile.\n\nSpecialist masonry and exterior woodwork paints are actually obtainable in lots of the subtle colours supplied for example, the new Weathershield range of satin and gloss exterior paints from Dulux features progressive shades corresponding to Wild Berries and Wild Roses.\n\nThis unique app from Nippon Paint lets you instantly apply Nippon Paint colours instantly onto an image, just about painting the walls at the swipe of your finger. The app is designed to assist owners and professionals alike to visualise colours within a space before putting a drop of paint onto the walls.

Yes, I think that the Angstrom is a more commonly used unit in this situation, so you can use it as if it is an SI unit.

Re: Angstrom(Å)
An angstrom is not a SI unit. It is used and recognized by many scientists but it is not part of the International System. An angstrom represents 10^-10m. This can be converted to other SI units like nanometers or picometers.

The Terminator franchise does some really interesting things with time.
Every storyline centers around time travel. Around events being changed, or perhaps not changed, as a result of time travel.
(The fourth movie is an exception to this, but I think we can all agree that movie was just terrible.)
I'm particularly intrigued by the Terminator movies as an argument for – or perhaps against – predestination.
At its heart, the struggle against the robot uprising and ensuing apocalypse is really an exploration of the questions can the future be changed? Is our fate already written?
On it's face, the Terminator seems to argue against predestination.
In the eponymous 1984 movie Kyle Reese famously – yeah, that's what I'm going with here – argues, "the future is not set. There is no fate but what we make for ourselves."
That phrase is repeated in various incarnations by human heroes throughout the franchise. It gives them the strength and determination to keep fighting.
There is no fate but what we make for ourselves.
But while our characters want to believe in their free will, while they need to believe in their ability to effect change, the actual events of the story don't necessarily support that view.
The very words that Kyle says were told to him by John Connor – the man who sent Kyle back in time. The man who only exists because Kyle fathered him in the past.
Kyle Reese, who so strongly believes there is no fate, was apparently fated to travel back in time to father the son who would later send him back in time.
And if that wasn't enough, there is every indication that Skynet, our nefarious robot consciousness, can also trace it's origins to 1984.
Terminator 2 argues that Skynet exists in the future only because the technology was reverse-engineered from the robot which it sent to the past.
Skynet is its own grandpa.
If the Terminator hadn't gone back in time, if Kyle Reese hadn't gone back in time, neither Skynet nor John Connor would ever exist.
Yet our characters cling to the notion that there is no fate.
Of course, this sort of temporal paradox isn't enough to resign ourselves to predestination. A paradox is a paradox…it doesn't mean that everything is meant to be.
And yet, the most important point in human history seems to be fixed.
Judgement Day, as it's called. When the machines rise up against man and the world as we know it is destroyed.
There is no fate but what we make for ourselves, the humans say.
Judgment Day is inevitable, reply the machines.
The date may change. The details may change. But the end always comes. Fight against it as they will, it certainly seems our heroes are helpless. It certainly seems as though, indeed, Judgement Day is inevitable.
And if that fate is sealed, the details hardly matter. Perhaps we have a sort of nominal free-will; perhaps we can make a choice, but not over anything that matters.
And yet, despite this seemingly inevitable impending doom, despite the fact that evidence seems to point to significant events being preordained, the humans keep soldiering on. Keep fighting the good fight, desperate to change the outcome and convinced that there is no fate.
And perhaps there is cause for this hope. After all, while humanity fights to alter the timeline, Skynet is altering the timeline as well. Judgement Day may not be inevitable, but rather just the most probable outcome in this temporal tug-of-war. Perhaps the future can be whatever humanity can make of it.
Or, perhaps, it is fate. Perhaps whatever we do – Judgement Day is inevitable.

College and career readiness forum returns
There's a lot of opportunity for Trumbull's youth after its high school days are over.
That's the message Superintendent Gary Cialfi, the Board of Education, the Trumbull Business-Education Initiative, and the Trumbull ACE Foundation want every student to take away from the third annual College and Career Readiness for Success Forum.
And this year, instead of hearing it from educators, Trumbull students will engage in a conversation with their peers about what lies beyond the walls of Trumbull High School.
"Instead of presentations, we're going to have an open forum with panelists who are both current students and alumni," said Dan Neumann, executive director of the Trumbull BEI and member of the ACE Foundation. "These panelists can give their unique perspective to every question that's asked. Some will have relevant experience to a certain topic, and that means they will be able to respond in a very personal manner, which we haven't had before."
The forum, which is scheduled to start at 7 p.m. at the high school Wednesday, Jan. 6, will emphasize the importance of strengthening communication skills, developing critical thinking patterns, and working collaboratively to solve problems, according to Superintendent Gary Cialfi.
However, what's most valuable about this year's event, which is open to the public, is that the panel is offering insights to any path a student might be interested in after graduating.
"One of our panel members didn't even go to college," explained Dr. Cialfi, who will be moderating the discussion. "He took entrepreneur classes while at the high school with his eyes set on taking over his dad's business, and he's going to talk about what he's doing now to make that goal a reality.
"There are many paths to success," the superintendent added.
Neumann agreed, acknowledging that last year's forum — the first one to ever take place at night — was challenged with the perception it was only for "high-flying overachievers."
"Opportunities are open to all students who are willing to experiment and work hard," he said.
"Nobody's just average if you work hard," he added. "By working hard and giving, you rise above the pack and stick out."
Neumann and Cialfi see plenty of positives in bumping the forum up two weeks earlier to include alumni on this year's panel, which will feature four current students and four recent graduates.
"Last year it was too late — lots of graduates were already back in college," Cialfi recalled. "This time around, I think it'll be a lot more efficient and we'll get a lot more responses from both the students and panelists."
After keynote speakers Dr. Donald Gibson and Tom Tesoro deliver their opening presentations, there will be an extended back-and-forth period when panelists can answer questions from the audience.
Gibson, the dean of the Dolan School of Business at Fairfield University, and Tesoro, the human resource officer at Standard Motor Products, will talk about what they look for when they accept or hire a high school student.
"And what they'll reinforce is that it's not just adequate to get into the school or get the job, but what a young person needs to be successful at the institution or business," said Neumann.
The gap
One of the things that's difficult about the forum is trying to explain the gap between middle school and high school to eighth graders who are in the audience with their parents.
"You don't know what the high school is truly like until you're there, in the building," Neumann explained. 'It's something you don't know about until you can experience it firsthand."
Nonetheless, the organizers encourage middle schoolers and their parents to return to the forum as they did last year.
"It's great for them to get the exposure to current high school students and recent graduates," Cialfi said. "There's so much available — so much that they have questions about — that it's a challenge to cover it all in one meeting with everything else going on, but the goal remains the same for all students of any age: How can we make sure that we're preparing them for success in higher education endeavors?"
Why the gap is so hard to solve directly correlates to the individual experiences high schoolers can have that middle school students aren't able to explore until they're freshmen or older.
Some of those avenues of exploration include the high school's mock trial teams and its We the People team.
Cialfi and Neumann are quick to remember a student named Molly Stewart who was taking Eric August's justice and law class as a junior a few years ago.
"She talked to Eric, her teacher, and made it very clear she didn't see the point in her being part of his mock trial team because she didn't want to be a lawyer," Cialfi recalled. "She was committed to going into medicine of some kind, but she stuck through it and ended up becoming very interested in law and now is on her way to becoming a lawyer for medical equipment.
"It was a complete change of direction, but really, all she did was combine interests," he added. "Now she's the club president of Fordham's mock trial team.
"This was a kid who was interested in law at first but she explored it and found a passion."
Molly's just one example.
The educators said they've seen dozens of high schoolers who are heading toward a career in math and science but never realize the importance of communication skills to get into those respective fields.
"If they want to be engineers, they're going to need to be able to present in front of town councils and boards of finance in their lifetime," Cialfi said. "Our goal is to open up their views at a young age and show them we have clubs right here that offer those skill sets, and they might just be something the student finds a new passion in."
Communication breakdown
Besides dealing with perception issues from students, the top challenge Cialfi and Neumann have to hurdle heading into this event is making sure people aren't confusing it with the guidance department's college planning night that usually happens around this time of year.
"College and career readiness is completely different," Neumann explained. "College planning night is great, but it's all about the mechanics of applying and getting into college — admission forms, transcripts, recommendations.
"We don't touch on any of that," he added. "It's not the same thing; it's a different topic."
Cialfi re-emphasized that the form is not just for "upper echelon students."
"I think everyone in the school system needs to be there so they can hear more about BEI and ACE and everything they create for our students," he added.
ACE has 65 teams across the school district, and they're not all academically competitive.
As for BEI, it offers more than $20,000 in mini grants that help students get exposure to careers in a particular field through career shadowing.
"We've been ramping up the job shadowing," Neumann said. "And thanks to BEI, students in high school can have half- or full-day visits on-site to see if a certain job is for them or not.
"Students can see for themselves what it's like at that company, whether it's in finance, research, or manufacturing," he added. "Do you like that kind of thing? Do you not like it?"
See what it's like
Going back to Eric August, the education leaders have another great example of why it's important to explore a career before jumping into it blindly.
The high school teacher got his law degree and was a practicing trial lawyer for three years before he turned around and went back to get a different degree — one that led him to Trumbull.
"He combined his passion for teaching with an interest in law," Neumann said.
"It's one of those 'wish I knew earlier what I learned later' scenarios," he added. "I'm sure he wouldn't have gone to law school had he had known before what it was like to work in a law office."
Cialfi believes the job shadowing offerings in Trumbull are "a real strength of our district."
"It makes the career process so much easier," he said. "Especially if you're looking at things at such a young age."
Note: The snow date for the forum is Thursday, Jan. 7 at the same time and place.

text: Hi Y'all, My '89 200TQ has recently developed a (small?) problem with rough running under boost. I have checked several things (not all of the ones) suggested by Scott. Now it has started idling funny (strangely, not ha ha). From highway speeds coming to a stop the rpms drop to about 1500 then fall to about 400-450 then rise back up to 850-900 then surge up to about 1200 then drop back to about 850-900 again. Then it seems to idle normally when warm. This morning I went out to sweep/scrape snow/ice and started the engine to allow it to warm up. It started almost instantly. Then it idled more or less as described above - kind of "seeking" up and down and died while I was scraping the windows. It would not restart right then. It did restart in a few minutes and ran just fine for the 30 miles to work. I suspect a leaky hose somewhere may be the culprit for everything. Any suggestions about specific places to look? I really would rather not have to spend an hour or two under the hood with no garage and the weather the way it is. :-) Six inches of snow and pretty high winds producing wind-chill and drifts. Not much fun to be out in unless you're really prepared for it. Bob _____________________________________________________________ | Robert L.
