Former home of cattleman and Texas patriot José Antonio Navarro (1795–1871), Casa Navarro was saved from demolition in 1960, designated as a Texas State Historic Landmark in 1962 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972. Although it's open year-round for tours ($1-$4 per person), the historic site opens its doors Tuesday evening for an informative and tasty Tamalada Publica. Coinciding with the City's Downtown Tuesday initiative (park for free at city-operated parking garages, parking lots and parking meters every Tuesday evening from 5 p.m. – 2 a.m.), the free event invites attendees to "spread masa and fold corn husks while learning about the origins of tamales in Texas." While guests won't be able to take the tamales home, Casa Navarro will provide samples along with pan dulce and hot chocolate."
When Allan Jaffe and his wife Sandra moved from Pennsylvania to New Orleans in the early '60s, they didn't initially come for the music. But they ended up staying for the music after they took over a small, dingy art gallery in the French Quarter and turned it into Preservation Hall, a 100-seat concert venue that became the home of many a New Orleans-style jazz jam session and yielded the touring group, the Preservation Hall Jazz Band. The venue is still a hot spot in the city known for live music. The touring Preservation Hall Jazz Band will give San Antonians a taste of its 10th annual "Creole Christmas" on December 11 at the Empire Theatre. The group will perform holiday classics and also material from its previous albums.
The Orlando, Fla.-based quartet Trivium (guitarists/vocalists Matt Heafy and Corey Beaulieu, bassist/vocalist Paolo Gregoletto and drummer Nick Augusto) draws influence from heavyweights like Metallica, Black Sabbath, Judas Priest and Iron Maiden and creates music that's been pegged as everything from metalcore to melodic death metal. Reminding that the band was "tipped for greatness" upon the surprise success of its 2005 release Ascendancy, only to be "consigned to the metallic dumper after the shambolic dropped clanger of 2006′s The Crusade," The Guardian summed up this year's offering Vengeance Falls (produced by Disturbed frontman David Draiman) as a "proud and focused heavy metal album that eschews current trends in favor of great songs, massive grooves, blazing lead breaks and a disarming air of combative euphoria." Also on the bill: DevilDriver, After the Burial and Thy Will Be Done.
If you read her "official bio," you'll learn that New York-based Andrea Pomerantz Lustig is "known around the offices of Glamour as the "Beauty Sleuth," thanks to the wildly popular beauty advice column and articles she wrote for the magazine for the last decade," and that she's "cherished by Glamour readers for her fresh, original beauty tips, ideas and solutions." A look at her "unofficial bio" reveals that when she's not appearing on shows like Good Morning America, Today and Entertainment Tonight, the University of Pennsylvania grad is likely juggling her "write-from-home career, three kids, a husband who's more organized and demanding than Martha Stewart and an at-home beauty stash that takes up two rooms." In support of her book How to Look Expensive: A Beauty Editor's Secrets to Getting Gorgeous Without Breaking the Bank, Pomerantz Lustig visits the Barshop Jewish Community Center for a signing, meet-and-greet and presentation enhanced with "mini makeovers, snacks and sips, and a selection of unique items available for purchase from local favorite boutiques and jewelry designers."
We all know the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve's Toys for Tots program, which every year collects, well, toys for children in need during the holiday season. Lisa Morales (of Sisters Morales fame, now a well-established solo artist and producer, above) has been doing her own TFT event for 12 of the last 13 years, and the next one's Wednesday at Sam's Burger Joint. Morales will perform with Robyn Ludwick and Shelley King (Good Girls With Bad Intentions) and "maybe" with her own band. The rest of the lineup includes Augie Meyers, Ruben V, Patricia Vonne and Michael Martin, Ernie Garibay's Cats Don't Sleep and more.
Sutan Amrull learned how to apply makeup from "his 14-year-old friend Eva, who was under house arrest for breaking into a restaurant." Those lessons paid off: In addition to a client list that includes Dita Von Teese and Adam Lambert, Amrull served as makeup artist for nine cycles of America's Next Top Model, impersonating Tyra Banks on occasion. Adopting the alter ego Raja Gemini, Amrull competed on the third season of RuPaul's Drag Race, joining the Heathers (a clique that Gawker noted "perfected the mean girl skill of making others feel like shit") and becoming the show's first Asian-American winner. Dubbed the "King of Queens" by LA Weekly, the performer/recording artist lands in SA courtesy of Rey Lopez Entertainment. But be warned: "Stand in her way and Raja will shantay past you like fashion roadkill."

Easy Grip composite snow chains will improve your driving safety on treacherous roads. Lightweight and low profile, they provide grip with their poly-mesh construction and steel cleats and make for a smoother, quieter ride than with metal chains.
Note: To determine whether you can use snow chains on your vehicle, consult your owner's manual.
Michelin's Easy Grip composite snow chains assist you while you're driving on snowy and icy roads by providing extra traction for your tires. Made of durable, poly-coated aramid fibers, the mesh gives your tires grip on snow, and the galvanized steel cleats dig into ice. The Easy Grip's lightweight construction and low-profile design make them easy to handle, and their composite construction produces less vibration and noise than metal chains, making for a smoother, quieter ride.
To choose the right snow chains, you must match your tire size. Those measurements can be found on the side of your tire, as shown below.
These chains fit the following tire sizes:
Video of Michelin Easy Grip Composite Snow Tire Chains for Passenger Vehicles - 1 Pair
Videos are provided as a guide only. Refer to manufacturer
installation instructions and specs for complete information.
Today we're going to install and review a set of Michelin Composites Snow Tire Chains. Traditional metal chains can be heavy and expensive but you see composite chains are relatively light and fairly inexpensive. They are perfect to have in the vehicle in case your car is in an emergency snow storm. The composite chains simply stretch over your tire and use elastic bag to hold tight. To install the chains first stretch them over as much on the tire as possible. The red strife will fit on the face of the wheel and help you make sure that the chains are centered properly.
The center cup should be about dead center on your wheel when we're finished installing. Once we've stretched over as much on the tire as we can we'll go ahead and pull the vehicle and make sure that our wheel rotates one-half of a turn. We'll repeat the same procedure for the other side. You may have to move the car back and forth a couple of times to help center up the chains. Now that we have the chains installed, we're ready to test them out.
The Michelin Composite Snow Tire Chains are a great item to keep in your vehicle. That way if you do get caught by surprise snow storm you won't end up stuck.

IEP Special education tracking and reporting (I-Star) system
ISBE is very excited to announce the start of an integrated special education data management tool for districts.
The web-based IEP will be available soon.
Exciting News!! The Illinois State Board of Education has developed a web-based IEP database system. This database system includes easy to use wizards to assist in developing an IEP, allows for draft and official forms, and integrates with other systems at ISBE, such as the Student Information System (SIS), in order to reduce duplicate entries of data. The web-based IEP will also be integrated with the new personnel and pupil reporting systems, which are currently being developed. The web-based IEP is currently in the "pilot phase, " but will be available to school districts, free of charge, during the 2013-2014 school year.
- Training Video: In order to assist individuals with general information about the new database system, a short training video is available.
- Webinar Video : Information from the June 17, 2013 webinar conducted with the pilot sites

VIDEOS: Online Tools Allow Deeper Investigation into Childhood Obesity
0The National Collaborative on Childhood Obesity Research (NCCOR) has new animated videos demonstrating how to navigate NCCOR's online tools—the Catalogue of Surveillance Systems and Measures Registry—which help researchers more easily investigate childhood obesity in America.
The Catalogue of Surveillance Systems provides one-stop access for users to review, sort, and compare more than 85 surveillance systems relevant to childhood obesity research and the evaluation of policy and environmental interventions.
The Measures Registry is a portfolio of more than 800 measures related to diet and physical activity. The tool allows researchers to more efficiently find and select measures that are critical to accelerating obesity prevention research.

I checked in very late at night. The desk clerk was very nice, prompt, and extremely courteous, however the room was dirty. The night stand and phone next to the bed were covered in food residue. My young daughter was with me and I was scared to let her touch anything. I 'm not sure I would recommend staying here.

Beretta 92FS/96 Picatinny Rail System
I wanted the ability to mount a TLR-1 to my non-rail 92 pistols, but had hesitations due to past experiences with many clamp-on products. The Tdi rail is a first class product, however. It is well made, and simple to mount - using the same size allen bit as used to remove the allen head grip screws on newer 92FS pistols. I have had the product mounted on several pistols, both "slanted" and "straight" dust covers. Throughout this process, I noted absolutely zero damage to the frame. The product can be used on both straight and slanted dust covers, but has a closer "weld" on the straight dust covers. I previously looked at two competitor's offerings, and consider this one to be the best choice.
Received it late August. Easy to install. Very stable. Mounted flashlight with laser.Works GREAT!Only drawback--doesen't fit easilly in a holster.

A woman with a child cycles in June 2011 past an advertisement for a developer on the walls of the demolished neighborhood where Professor Zhao Fengping had her home in Zhengzhou in north central China's Henan province. Trying to save her octogenarian mother from eviction and her childhood home from being razed, Zhao, who teaches public administration at Zhengzhou University, turned to China's new information disclosure rules. In records she obtained, she found lapses and glaring mistakes that should have stopped the project. But the wrecking crews came in November 2010. Zhao's mother, a widow in her 80s, lost her home and now lives with each of her children in turn. The process plunged Zhao into depression for weeks. She says right-to-know laws mean nothing without a more open political system, where people can use the information to change policies and fight for their rights. (AP Photo/Ng Han Guan)

No elevator, be ready to carry your luggage upstairs and through the hotel which is quiet long.
new room given was nice.
room provided is not what stated in the booking until I complained and able to get the room that I have booked on my 2nd day.
The location was fantastic, great value for money
Could be a little but noisy but this didn't bother us
Good location - close to Miami Beach 5 mins walk - Shops, restaurants, bus stop close to hotels. Friendly and very helpful staff. Had a very nice time .. would definitely recommend this hotel to ppl who have a low budget and looking for a well located hotel.. Will come back again if I have the opportunity
No elevator - quite difficult to carry heavy luggage to the rooms - Ive been lucky that one of the staff helped to take our luggage to our room when checked in but this is not the case every time for everybody. Maybe need some helping hands to help ladies particularly carrying their luggage to their room, that would be great ..
Great location, next to street full of restaurants, opposite a great Cuban restaurant
I loved the old world ambiance of the hotel. It is more of a boutique hotel and one should expect the old mediterranean feel. Across the street is a great cuban restaurant with nice staff, food, drinks and music. The parking is 20.00 per day including in and out free service and made life easy, esp. With a rental car.
I cannot complain...just pick a room off the street off your a light sleepr which is standard at any hotel.
location was great
Location, nice restaurants around and safe area.
No elevator very difficult to take luggage in to the room
Personel are very kind and helpful people.Location is great. Otel is very clean. İt is worth the money you give.
I think there is nothing to say negative .
Nice location - walking distance from beach and in the middle of nightlife.
Difficult for travellers with big luggage.
Excellent location. Very friendly staff, mainly the recepcionist Jose.
There is no lift and breakfast
The location was great for the price at only 2 blocks from the beach and 2 blocks from the main shopping. Various restaurants were at my doorstep and the hotel was located in a safe location.
The location is perfect. I think it is located in one of the best streets of Miami Beach with a lot of nice restaurants and no traffic in the evening. Furthermore, the hotel is very close to the beach and Ocean Drive.
location and comfort of the room, besides being cleaned.
we were on the second floor in a room in the middle of the espanola way, and the staircase was narrow and long. uncomfortable to carry bags.
Price and great location
Fleas in the room cockroaches in the hall Staff room bed (size of the bed is ridiculous)
I liked the fact that everything was in walking distance
I did not like tags I felt like I was in a closet, the room was really small. The cleanliness of the room was very bad. There was hair in the bed from previous guest and also in the sink. The tub and toilet got ridiculously filthy after using it once or twice. My husband and I could barely sleep on the 2nd night because the bed was soooo itchy, I was scared that it was bed bugs. Luckily, after complaining to one if the staff, Stacy, she gave us new blankets to sleep in and it made a major difference....too bad the next day after housekeeping serviced the room, they removed it from the bed without asking to do so. Te restaurant on the premises was extremely over priced. Just wasn't happy overall
Friendly helpful staff 24hour reception Located 10minutes walk from the beach 10 minute walk from shopping mall Super Clean Comfortable Large fridge Safe
Location to everything
Where room was located. How I had to get to my room an noise after hours

Downsizing Livestock with Mini-Cattle
The other day, the Los Angeles Times did a story on the increasing number of ranchers and farmers raising miniature cattle to cut costs and produce meat and milk more efficiently.
These cows average 500 to 700 pounds, about half the weight of their full-figured counterparts, but they are not genetically engineered freaks. Rather, the article says, they are drawn from the original smaller breeds brought to the United States in the 1800s. Today's bovine behemoths were bred in the 1950s and '60s, when farmers were more concerned with getting more meat than using feed and grasslands efficiently.
It sounds sensible. The animals eat less in proportion to the amount of meat and milk they produce, so they give the farmers more bang for their buck. And because they require less land for grazing and producing feed (and, as a farmer in the article notes, produce less methane), they might also be kinder to the environment. According to a 2006 report by the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization, "the livestock sector generates more greenhouse gas emissions as measured in CO2 equivalent—18 percent—than transport. It is also a major source of land and water degradation."
But, I wonder, are these tiny Herefords and Anguses too adorable to eat? I'm probably not the best person to ask, since I haven't had a bite of beef since 1987—like my co-blogger Amanda, I turned vegetarian in my teens, though I have gradually, and selectively, added some meat back into my diet. The reasons I avoid beef are many, but I'm sure cuteness factors into it. I feel a lot less guilt about eating a cod than a furry animal with big, sad eyes. And the only thing cuter than a big, furry animal is a wee version of a big, furry animal.
People like me are the reason People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals launched its recent campaign to rename fish as "sea kittens." I must admit, it hasn't worked on me yet, and I'm pretty much their target audience. Surely, they'll have an even tougher time convincing the kind of people the fast-food chain Jack in the Box was going after with its commercial for mini sirloin burgers, which features "cows the size of schnauzers."

Tesco rebrands Value range
Could the new Everyday Value products bring us any closer to being proud to go basic and meet all our expectations at the same time?
Tesco has revamped its familiar blue-and-white striped Value range after almost 20 years on the shelves. Instead of Tesco Value, we will now be seeing colourful Everyday Value products around the store.
The supermarket heavyweight has transformed more than 550 lines following extensive research on what customers want from a budget value brand today.
But are rebranding campaigns enough to shake off the stigma associated with buying bottom of the range and can we really get good value for money in supermarkets without sacrificing on quality, ethics, and nutrition?
Would you buy value?
There used to be a hint of embarrassment associated with value range products. Targeted at poorer shoppers, buying basics was seen by some as a confession that your finances were in a bad way.
But with the purse strings tightening for most households at the moment, is that shame still prevalent or do we rejoice at grabbing a good bargain?
The figures suggest we are unabashed. Tesco Value is estimated to be worth £1 billion in sales (just as much as its top price Finest range) and according to Kantar Worldpanel data, the supermarket own-label budget market is growing at 9.3% every year.
That said, a Which? survey conducted last year revealed that people were highly selective about the sort of food they decide to downgrade on.
Two-thirds of those surveryed would buy store cupboard groceries that were from a value range, 61% would happily buy basic tinned food and 61% would not hesitate to buy fresh fruit and vegetables that were not premium or branded.
Yet people were less likely to pick up products like dairy (38%), meat (14%), fish (14%) or ready meals (13%) from the budget section.
It seems we are willing to buy non-branded tins (Tesco's top selling Value products are baked beans and chopped tomatoes) but are unwilling to sacrifice on foodstuffs that have ethical, quality and health concerns like meat and dairy.
This makes sense when you consider products that are cheap are not so cheerful when you discover they were farmed from battery hens or contain masses of salt and fat. Worst of all is when you realise that pork steak you bought is actually only 5% pork.
The old adage 'you get what you pay for' seems relevant, but can Everyday Value offer us more and improve on those poorer performing no frills products like meat and dairy?
Everyday Value
Tesco was the first retailer to launch a line of affordable products almost 20 years ago during the recession of the 1990s, but has only now decided to rebrand.
The driving force at the heart of this campaign according to David Wood, Tesco UK marketing director, is that affordable quality is more relevant than ever but "customers' needs have changed".
Tesco is responding to customers concerned at the quality you get for low cost goods and claims the 550 products in the Everyday Value range "taste better, look better and are healthier", but still remain at the same price.
Among the long list of product improvements, Tesco proudly proclaims that there is now 100% fish fillet in the new Everyday Value fish fingers (I dread to think what used to make up the family favourite) and the basic mince will have a lower fat content than the old Value version.
The new lines also aim to support British produce and provide more convenience to shoppers. Grated cheese, for example will come in re-sealable bags, while tinned peas, beetroot and carrots will be 100% British.
Altering expectations
As Tesco has realised, expectations about food have changed. A palatable taste, easy to use packaging, reasonable quality, good nutrition and the peace of mind that food is ethical are all major influences when selecting goods from the shelves, not just price.
Tesco believes the no frills products can tick all these boxes and still stay cheap, but Sue Dibb, executive director at the Food Ethics Council, thinks otherwise:
She explained: "The savings should come from the no-frills packaging, not from compromising on quality, taste, nutrition and ethics. But you're unlikely to find higher standards such as fair-trade, organic or higher animal welfare in value ranges. Even in these tough financial times shoppers need to recognise that we can't expect farmers to produce good food unless we're prepared to pay a fair price for it."
Value products are, in all situations, compromising on something to drive the price down.
Mix and match
If you are not satisfied with the Everyday Value range or other supermarket basics and can definitely taste the difference, here are a few ways to make sure you are getting value for money without compromising too much in other areas:
- Combine regular and premium, so indulge for a few items and save on others
- Swap and taste a few key products each week to find a happy medium between quality and price
- Watch out for offers on branded products - while they are usually for unhealthy snack foods, some are on useful household goods
- Take advantage of Mysupermarket, which allows you to compare the price of your trolley across all the big supermarkets
- Shop around at discount stores like Aldi or get essentials from pound shops
- Grow your own vegetables to avoid additives
- Make your own meals to avoid the salt and fat added to ready meals and processed foods
- Buy frozen as it lasts longer and is cheaper than fresh
- Go to the butchers to get quality meat for less

Have Khloe and Lamar had their last lame yet respectful kinda-but-not-really half-fight? On TV, I mean. Word has it that Khloe & Lamar, one of the umpteenth Keeping Up With the Kardashians spinoffs, won't be back next season. The official reason is that Lamar, who is struggling in his pro basketball career, wants to get back to focusing on his game. Yeah, I'm sure the ratings slide has nothing to do with it ...
While Lamar's stalled career may indeed be a good reason to pull the plug on the show, there's a better reason why it isn't gelling with audiences the way its sister shows have. That reason is one word and one word only.
Draaaamaaaa. Reality TV thrives, indeed lives, on drama. While Khloe and Lamar tried their best to give it to us, it was always sort of a namby-pamby, someone-got-a-boo-boo drama. Little bro Rob is acting like a spoiled brat -- again. Best bud Jamie is acting like a spoiled user -- again. Lamar's father is asking his son for perks and goodies -- again. So what? Did any of it make you want to tune in the next week to see what happened? You already know what's going to happen.
More from The Stir: Khloe Kardashian Has a Sexy Marriage Secret More Couples Should Try
I have to say that Khloe and Lamar do seem like a great couple. I'm a little tired of Khloe's omnipotent powers over everyone -- how many more times can we see all-knowing Khloe come in and calmly solve everyone's issues with a wave of her guru wand? But I genuinely liked Lamar: He's sensitive, articulate, intelligent, and seems genuinely devoted to Khloe. We need more men like him in real life, let alone on TV.
But their marriage just simply didn't make for exciting TV viewing. I didn't really care if Khloe got pregnant or not. It's not like she's freaking out about it -- as well she shouldn't -- so why should I?
The sad truth is that Khloe and Lamar are just a little too mature for reality television. And that's a compliment. Now the pair can get back to what they're both good at: basketball for Lamar and being Kim and Kourtney's sidekick for Khloe.
Are you bummed that Khloe & Lamar might not come back?

I went in to Sephora to look at 2 Nars duos – Nouveau Monde and Marie Gallante. Well, the latter was dreadful (I later read Christine's review and saw that it got a D rating – whew, I am glad I didn't just grab it based on how interesting it looked) but Nouveau Monde was fabulous! I got Habanera a year or 2 back and Nouveau Monde is like a reverse of that duo – it has a light lilac shimmery shadow and a dark, shimmery ivy green shadow (Habanera has a light, icy green and a deep purple). I knew I would love the unusual colour pairing and I absolutely do. Even at this time of year (autumn is just starting) the dark green shade is just perfect. And the lilac is so pretty for an evening look. Not the most "versatile" duo but really lovely and great quality. Interestingly, if you have the TooFaced Romantic Eye palette, you have a dupe for the lilac side of this duo and the TooFaced shadow is much smoother and nicer in texture than the Nars!
Having not tried Nars products before, I chose the Mediteranee eyeshadow duo as my shades for my Nars makeover with a make up artist. The duo consists of a light gold shade and an orange shade. I was a little worried that the orange would look weird but used together the combination is stunning. I was most impressed with the colour payoff. You don't need to use a lot and the formula is perfect for blending. Needless to say I bought the duo and cannot wait to wear it with the MAC all about orange lipsticks.
I would have given this four stars, but I believe this is way overpriced. The shadows aren't bad, but they definitely are not amazing. The two shades in this duo are a light champagne pink that is cooler tones, and a light, slightly orangey gold. Together for a really soft look, these are great, but even with a primer they tend to fade on me. These aren't the softest shadows, either, so that may have something to do with it. They're kind of sheer, but can be pretty if you like that. I like this duo, especially for travel, but again, these are so overpriced. Overall, for 34 dollars (I think thats what they are), you could get ten eyeshadows at the drugstore that work just as well.

Catchment changes plan to beat schools' crisis
4:44pm Thursday 6th September 2012 in News
A MASSIVE shake-up of primary and secondary school catchment areas in Winchester is planned to cope with the pressure on places.
education chiefs are expected to go out to public consultation on proposed boundary changes this month.
No details are yet available but it is understood the review will involve all primaries in Winchester city and the three secondaries.
Children living in a school catchment area are given priority for places under the council's admission policy.
The revised primary catchments will come into force in September 2014 when a new primary at The Westgate opens its doors to reception pupils – and becomes the first county-run school for children aged four to 16.
One in ten reception children in Hampshire this week started at schools which were not their parents' first choice although no child is without a place.
Winchester has among the biggest squeeze on places with 17 per cent allocated second or third-choice schools.
Dozens of primary school pupils in Winchester city – and hundreds across the county – will be taught in temporary classrooms as council bosses had to resort to emergency measures to provide enough places for all pupils entitled to one, as they are legally bound to do.
Mum-of-three Siobhan Hand, whose children attend Owslebury Primary, said: "My son is due to start at Westgate in 2013 but will my daughter be able to follow him there two years later and will there be a free bus service, which is important if you live in a village?
"It is all up in the air. It is inevitable there will be changes but like many parents I would like my children to attend the same school."
Hampshire's education boss Councillor Roy Perry said the council was investing £10m in creating hundreds of extra school places in Winchester, including the new two-form entry primary at The Westgate.
Winchester city councillor Dominic Hiscock, chairman of governors at over-subscribed St Bede, warned redrawing catchment areas would not create extra places.
The Liberal Democrat councillor said: "The new Westgate primary will deal with the existing situation, for example building on Chilbolton Avenue, but more than 2,000 new homes are planned in the city and there are no plans for how we will accommodate these children which is why I am campaigning for a second new primary school."

NFL.com wire reports
NASHVILLE, Tennessee (May 10, 2007) -- Baltimore Ravens quarterback Steve McNair was charged with driving under the influence even though police said his brother-in-law was behind the wheel of the pickup registered to the former Tennessee Titan.
Ravens statement
The Baltimore Ravens are aware of last night's situation involving Steve McNair and the Nashville police. Head coach Brian Billick talked with Steve today.
Ravens president Dick Cass issued this statement:
"We are aware of the situation involving Steve McNair. We have talked with Steve and persons in Nashville familiar with what happened this last night. We have also been briefed regarding the Tennessee law. We do know that Steve was a passenger in a car he owns that was stopped for speeding. Steve was not arrested for drinking, or driving the car irresponsibly. There is a court process that will now take place, and Steve will participate in these procedures."
McNair told the Ravens this:
"I was trying to act responsibly. I have to go through the court process now, and I understand that. I was planning to be in Baltimore for most of the remainder of this month to work out with my teammates, and anticipate that I will be doing that."
Although McNair was merely a passenger, he was charged with a misdemeanor under a Tennessee law that prohibits a vehicle owner from letting it be driven by someone who is inebriated.
Police said officer Harold Taylor pulled over McNair's 2003 Dodge pickup just before midnight May 9 because it was speeding. The driver, 31-year-old Jamie Cartwright, smelled of alcohol, failed a field sobriety test and refused to take a breath alcohol test, police spokesman Don Aaron said.
Cartwright said he was McNair's brother-in-law and acknowledged drinking at least two beers, police said.
The law used to charge McNair doesn't consider whether the vehicle owner was drinking, but only if the driver was impaired. Aaron said Nashville police have used the law to cite 42 other people this year.
McNair declined to comment when he was released from custody. He was accompanied by a friend, nightclub owner Robert "Big Daddy" Gaddy, who told WTVF-TV that McNair had done nothing wrong.
Greg Aiello, an NFL spokesman, said it was too early to determine whether McNair would face any punishment from the league.
"Any law enforcement matter that involves any of our people, we look into it to determine whether there is ultimately any violation of our policies," Aiello said.
McNair was arrested on DUI charges once before in Nashville in May 2003, when he also was charged with illegal gun possession.
After a year of legal wrangling, a judge dismissed those charges, ruling that police didn't have sufficient reason to pull over McNair.

Revision as of 14:04, 14 February 2013
This page contains a number of example datasets represented with their distributions using DCAT. This is mainly meant to help discussing issues related to the Distribution class in DCAT.(see this email for some background).
The examples below use the recent DCAT specification
1. A dataset available as a downloadable file (a CSV file for example)
:ds1 a dcat:Dataset ; dcat:distribution :dist1 . :dist1 a dcat:Download ; dcat:accessURL <http://example.org/dist1.csv>; dcat:format [ rdfs:label "CSV" ].
Using the new proposed model of distribution
:ds1 a dcat:Dataset ; dcat:distribution :dist1 . :dist1 a dcat:Distribution ; dcat:downloadURL <http://example.org/dist1.csv>; dcat:format [ rdfs:label "CSV" ].
2. A dataset that is available through some web page
This means that the dataset can be obtained through a splash page where the user needs to click some pointers/check some boxes before accessing the data or the publisher is not very sure how the dataset can be obtained but she is sure that the data can be obtained somehow via the web page. This is also the case of datasets that are updated periodically (e.g. daily) with a new URL per new version of the dataset. If the format of the data is known, it can still be stated via dcat:format, even if the access URL points to an HTML page.
:ds2 a dcat:Dataset ; dcat:distribution :dist2 . :dist2 a dcat:Distribution ; dcat:accessURL <http://example.org/dist2.html> . dct:format [ rdfs:label "CSV" ].
Using the new proposed model of distribution
:ds2 a dcat:Dataset ; dcat:landingPage <http://example.org/dist2.html> ; dcat:distribution :dist2 . :dist2 a dcat:Distribution ; dcat:accessURL <http://example.org/dist2.html> ; dct:format [ rdfs:label "CSV" ].
Notice that a Distribution instance is still needed.
3. A dataset that is available as a download and through some web page
This means that the dataset can be downloaded from a known URL but also can be obtained through some landing page. The landing page might provide options to filter the dataset and obtain only a part of the whole dataset or simply link to the download file.
:ds3 a dcat:Dataset ; dcat:distribution :dist3_1 , :dist3_2 . :dist3_1 a dcat:Distribution ; dcat:accessURL <http://example.org/dist3_1.html> . :dist3_2 a dcat:Download ; dcat:accessURL <http://example.org/dist3_2.csv> ; dct:format [ rdfs:label "CSV" ].
Using the new proposed model of distribution
:ds3 a dcat:Dataset ; dcat:landingPage <http://example.org/dist3_1.html> ; dcat:distribution :dist3_2 . :dist3_2 a dcat:Distribution ; dcat:downloadURL <http://example.org/dist3_2.csv> . dct:format [ rdfs:label "CSV" ].
Notice that a Distribution instance for the landing page is not needed as the downloadable distribution is defined.
4. A dataset available as RSS feed
The assumption is that users can subscribe to the dataset using a standard feed reader, so the format would be RSS or Atom.
:ds4 a dcat:Dataset ; dcat:distribution :dist4 . :dist4 a dcat:Feed ; dcat:accessURL <http://example.org/dist4.rss> .
Using the new proposed model of distribution
:ds4 a dcat:Dataset ; dcat:distribution :dist4 . :dist4 a dcat:Distribution ; dcat:accessURL <http://example.org/dist4.rss> ; dcat:mediatype "application/atom+xml" .
5. A dataset available through a Web API
The class dcat:WebService (a subclass of dcat:Distribution) is used. Although the name "WebService" is not perfect for an API but I suggest that this class can still be used to indicate that the data can be accessed programmatically over the Web.
:ds5 a dcat:Dataset ; dcat:distribution :dist5 . :dist5 a dcat:WebService ; dcat:accessURL <http://example.org/dist5/sparql> . dct:format [ rdfs:label "SPARQL" ].
6. A dataset with an example record
Some datasets provide example of some records in the datasets (see this example on thedatahub). dcat:Distribution is interpreted as an obtainable form of the dataset. In this sense, example is not an instance of dcat:Distribution. However, a broader interpretation can include any resource related to the dataset. This interpretation is used on thedatahub.org.
If we stick to the "narrow" interpretation of dcat:Distribution, the example can be linked to using dc:references (@@@ but this meaning is more specific than dc:references):
:ds6 a dcat:Dataset ; dc:references <http://example.org/id/example1>. dcat:distribution :dist6. :dist6 a dcat:Download; dcat:accessURL <http://example.org/dist6.rdf>; dct:format [ rdfs:label "RDF/XML" ].
Note that VoID has a void:exampleResource property that can be used specifically for datasets in RDF, where the example record would be the URI of an entity described in the dataset.
7. A dataset with additional documentation
Sometimes, additional documentation (API documentation, data dictionaries, XML schemas) is provided for a dataset.
If we stick to the "narrow" interpretation of dcat:Distrubition, then, such documents can be linked via the foaf:page property (@@@ but this meaning is more specific than foaf:page):
:ds7 a dcat:Dataset; foaf:page <http://example.org/dist7-explanation.pdf>. dcat:distribution :dist7; :dist7 a dcat:Download; dcat:accessURL <http://example.org/dist7.csv>; dct:format [ rdfs:label "CSV" ].
8. Describing distribution format
A proposal related to [issue 12] is to add a dcat:mediaType property that states the format of the distribution according to IANA. In the example, a plain string literal is used for the format value however the value must be one that is defined by IANA, otherwise dct:format must be used
:dist8 a dcat:Download ; dcat:accessURL <http://example.org/dist8.csv> ; dcat:mediaType "text/csv" .

Nov 18, 2012 | 1 Comment

First Christian Church of Elizabethtown is targeting June 2 as the opening Sunday in its new facility at 1807 N. Miles St.
According to Stuart Jones, senior minister, construction is on schedule and the congregation is preparing for the move.
"The goal when we started pouring footers last May was to complete the building in a year," Jones said. "We have been blessed with good weather and great workers. We're right on schedule."
The Rev. Alexis Kouri, pastor of St. Michael the Archangel Orthodox Church in Louisville will present "The Eastern Orthodox Church: An Ancient Faith in Modern Times" at 3 and 7 p.m. Feb. 27 in room 112 James S.

Having a Giraffe
January 26, 2012
This has all got very silly. I still find it funny that people are forwarding and promoting this story in all kinds of ways. It divides people into several responses.
1) There is no way a child that age could do that.
2) How cute/sweet/adorable.
3) Chris King is a hero who should be knighted/promoted/extolled beyond even twitter and facebook. He seems a top bloke.
4) What a great PR strategy this appears to have been (we wish our company had thought of it).
5) What is a £?
6) How mean that Sainsbury's should only send a £3 voucher.
7) How kind of Sainsbury's to send a £3 voucher.
8) What is £3 in dollars/euros/baht?
9) What is Sainsbury's?
10) Where can I get a Sainsbury's? Next time I am in the United Kingdom I want to buy one.
11) What is tiger bread?
12) If there are no giraffes in it, we cannot call it giraffe bread, under EU trading directive.
The Huffington Post (UK) believe Sainsbury's ought to rename it Giraffe Bread. My father believes they should sponsor a Giraffe in a wildlife sanctuary or zoo, preferably called Lily. Wikipedia briefly mentioned the story (under Tiger Bread), but the story apparently needs verifying. A number of other blogs around the world have written up the story now, mostly in the heart-warming category, but an Italian Magazine has capitalised on the marketing side too. The Sun now has a page on the internet also telling the story: Little Lily probes Sainsburys about tiger bread and I was obliged to spend 30p checking whether she was in print today (no, just online). Facebook has a page dedicated to hero-worshipping Chris King, gaining huge popularity today. From this I have learnt today that Chris, like Lily, is about to start nursery school, on placement as a trainee teacher. He will make a great teacher in my opinion if he is a natural at getting on to the children's level. Perhaps the most bizarre twist is the analysis done by Laurence Borel which tries to trace how the story went viral.
My friend from university who originally posted the pictures to Twitter makes some insightful comments at the end of that analysis. Facebook couldn't forward photos in quite the same way as Twitter back in June.
There is a serious side to all this humour too. We love our daughter and do not want to exploit her or cause her distress. She finds the story funny at the moment, but hasn't got much time for it. Without protecting her, she could end up in a situation like this:
… which won't be happening on my watch. £3 is quite enough really to make a whole lot of people smile.
When our son gets a little older though, perhaps he ought to send a letter to Ferrari…
7 Responses to "Having a Giraffe"
January 27, 2012 at 9:32 pmWhen you made the original blog post, you probably never would have thought that it would receive such attention. And it really didn't until now.
Speaking purely from a business and marketing perspective, the response from Sainsbury's outlines a perfect example of how customer service should be, and the power that social media has in promoting a brand.
As a parent, one has to realize that if you're a blogger, someone out there may make one of your posts go viral, no matter how well intended or innocent the post was. We must be careful of what we expose the subjects of our posts to, especially if the subjects are kids.
Cheers from Canada,
January 30, 2012 at 12:10 amI really thought I agreed with Lily on the Giraffe vs. Tiger controversy. But after I saw this video of tiger cubs, I am not so sure! Turns out Tiger Cubs have that pattern in their fur…
Perhaps it's more aptly called *Tiger Cub* Bread! If nothing else, Lily will enjoy the sweet tiger cub video.
Many blessings,

Bock, Zannie; Gough, David H. (Routledge, 2001)[more][less]
Abstract: The question of the 'great divide' between orality and literacy has been critically addressed by various scholars of literacy, including social literacy theorists. This paper uses the notions of primary and secondary discourse across both oral and literate contexts to examine this 'divide'. Using evidence from the oral tradition of the Xhosa, it is shown that 'traditional' societies have well-established primary and secondary discourse types. Against this understanding, the issue of 'access' to Western academic literacy is examined. It is argued that within the changing context of South African society and as a direct result of former apartheid policies, individuals may have failed to acquire the cultural capital of both oral secondary and literate secondary discourse types. The literate secondary discourse practices of Xhosa-speaking students at univer¬sity are explored through an analysis of student writing. This paper then reports on several projects which attempt to address some of the concerns of academic staff with respect to student writing. In particular, this section argues for a broadening of the notion of 'academic literacy' and suggests some ways in which texts derived from the oral tradition may be used to develop awareness of secondary discourse types.

Abstract: This paper examines the effectiveness of linguistic analysis in developing scientific thinking skills and scientific attitudes. It reports on a project established at a South Africa university in South Africa which engaged students in the analysis of code-mixed data. Students who participated in the project showed gains in being able to analyze linguistic data using problem solving skills. While transfer of such skills to mainstream science teaching was not investigated, the study confirms the effectiveness of linguistic analysis in engaging students in the activities associated with the development of skills for science.

Abstract: This article aims to characterize typical linguistic and discourse features of academic writing in Xhosa and English among prospective Xhosa-speaking students at the University of the Western Cape so as to account for strengths and weaknesses in the writing and provide possible 'points' for pedagogic intervention. It presents an analysis of a sample of entrance essays written by these students in English and Xhosa. The analysis is in terms of a framework which considers aspects of argument, register and syntax. It aims to highlight strengths and weaknesses in student writing and to ascertain the extent to which these characteristics are language-specific or cross-linguistic. The results of the analysis suggest that the ability to argue coherently in an appropriate register is the defining mark of good writing in any language, and that control over the syntax of the language is particularly important for these students when writing in English. The ability to write well, like certain aspects of style, seems to be a generic ability and affects students' performance in both languages.

As the state's oldest, largest and most-trusted nonprofit health plan, Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Minnesota welcomes the opportunity and responsibility to improve the health of Minnesotans and their communities.
It's part of our heritage. Blue Cross was chartered in 1933 as Minnesota's first and only nonprofit health plan. And we continue to carry out our mission to make a healthy difference in people's lives.
Together with the Blue Cross Foundation and Prevention Minnesota , we develop initiatives that raise awareness about Minnesota's leading health concerns, and we create solutions to help address these issues. Visit our public policy section to learn more about the issues.
Heart of Blue, our employee-led volunteer and giving program , is an important way in which we work to meet our mission. Approximately 80 percent of Blue Cross employees volunteer in the community.
In recognition of our commitment to philanthropy and volunteerism, Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Minnesota was selected as the sole Minnesota organization to receive a national Jefferson Award in 2009.
Employees at Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Minnesota have a proud history of caring for the communities in which we live and work. We're passionate about our mission of making a healthy difference in people's lives.
That's why we created our Heart of Blue Program (PDF) to support employees who give their time, talent and resources to nonprofit community organizations. The Heart of Blue program was recognized by the State of Minnesota for outstanding commitment to community service, proclaiming April 19, 2012, Heart of Blue Day.
Innovation is encouraged
Blue Cross not only supports employee volunteerism and giving through company sponsored activities, we also support our employees as intrapreneurs (entrepreneurs within), encouraging employees who are innovative in initiating new ways to serve the community.
One example of such intrapreneurship is our Blue Cross Community Giving Garden, an onsite garden providing fresh produce to hungry people in our community. Interested? Learn how our Blue Cross Giving Garden (PDF), now a catalyst for a network of 15 Minnesota corporate giving gardens, can be replicated in your community.
The following are just a few of our employees' accomplishments. For more information, see the Heart of Blue Community Involvement Report (PDF).
Recent contributions: For the health of all
Each year, Blue Cross employees contribute thousands of hours and dollars to community projects and nonprofit organizations through Heart of Blue. In 2012 their time, talent and resources supported nonprofits that:
2012 highlights include:
The Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Minnesota Foundation is focused on helping nonprofit organizations create healthier communities.
At the Foundation, we believe that health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well being and not merely the absence of disease. Good health is also tied to the day-to-day conditions in which we live, work and play. That's why we give grants and leadership support to nonprofit organizations that focus on early childhood development, housing, social connectedness and the environment.
The Foundation is the state's largest grantmaking foundation exclusively dedicated to improving health in Minnesota. We've awarded more than $25 million since 1986.
Visit the Blue Cross Foundation or refer to our fact sheet (PDF) for more on our values, programs and grantees.
To learn more about the Foundations' work, you can see videos of five organizations working to improve health across the state. The videos are available at bcbsmnfoundation.org or on the Foundation's YouTube channel .
Programs featured include:
The Center for Prevention at Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Minnesota delivers on Blue Cross' long-term commitment to improve the health of all Minnesotans by tackling the leading root causes of preventable death and disease: tobacco use, lack of physical activity and unhealthy eating.
Funded through proceeds from Blue Cross' historic lawsuit against the tobacco industry, we collaborate with organizations statewide to help build vibrant communities where healthy choices are easier and more accessible.
Visit Prevention Minnesota for more information.
