GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
My son never liked school, EVER. Every day in elementary school seemed like a challenge, and homework was AWFUL for us. Since he started here, he has thrived. The teachers are all wonderful with providing feedback, and he seems interested in what he is learning. His mid quarter grades are the best he's ever had. I am so glad that he is here.
I recommend that you do not have your child go to this school. My daughter is disabled with epilepsy and they treated her poorly. The students there bully and it seems as if the staff doesn't care. Some of the teachers are very disrespecful, and one of them even said she is tired of my child because she misses school and completely embarrassed her. I had her doctor give the school a note to excuse all of her absences but they were still stressing her out about it before telling me. The staff was very inconsiderate of how my child felt. The school is terrible.
East Hills Middle School is the BEST school EVER! I am in High school now and i still want to go back to east hills. I was in the Harmonium program in 8th grade and it was the best year of my life. I love the teachers and the curriculum. I learned so much in my years there. Harmonium (a music program at East Hills) also taught me so much about music and i had a great time learning and performing! I LOVE East Hills!
There is a lot of bullying tolerated at this schhool. Teachers simply turm the other way.
Great selection of classes.. but VERY POOR communication from some teachers.. My son has special needs, and I was not informed that he was failing a class (for the year.. grades were B B C F with his final grade an F for the year ) until I received his report card in the mail this summer.
I went to this school in 6th Grade. This is the best school i ever went to I recomend this school to any parent that wants to put there child in it. They have an outstanding staff and amazing students.
I have two daughters. Both began in Catholic school. The eldest, a current sophomore, is still in Catholic School, the current 8th grader transfered last year. The transfer child went from 35 in her class to over 350 and it has been positive in many ways. The class room size remained the roughly same. The programs such as Monagacy, Nature Quest, Spirit of Bethlehem and Harmonium afford the students an opportunity to apply what they are taught and help them reach beyond the class room setting. For such a large school with so many students, I am impressed with the communications for both positive events and negative occurrences. Having a child in the smaller Catholic School as comparison, I can say without doubt that academically East Hills has served my child better and I am hopeful Freedom High School will be the same.
Great concept but poor execution is how I would describe this school. Students are not grouped by same academic level, leaving some unchallenged. Nature Quest, an environmental education program offered to 7th Grade, has proven itself to be a great asset to my child but not without compromise of accelerated curriculum if one exists in this school. Though I heard 8th Grade teaching is generally fair, one of the Language Arts teachers has been giving undue challenge since day one, succeeding in making my child hate school.
We have here an absolutely poorly run school. Lackadaisical implementation of the Code of Conduct means that discipline and behavior among students is at a level I consider shameful. Teachers are generally downtrodden and defeated, many have been beaten into putting in the bare minimum. A 6 out of 10 is generous and reflects that there are quite a few quality students here. Unfortunately they deserve much better than EHMS offers, which is a sorry thing to admit.
Unfortunately, I don't have anything positive to say about this school. For such a large school, East Hills severely lacks organization and I have not seen any improvement for two years now. My daughter completed 6th Grade with a feeling that she hardly learned anything. As far as the extracurricular activities are concerned, school failed to provide the information to 6th Grade on time for my daughter to participate.
EH is a great school. The teachers are amazing, and the thematic programs they offer are better than any I've ever seen! There are larger class sizes, but that's also because we are the biggest middle school. I had 34 kids in my class this year, but I wouldn't have had it any other way. Everyone in our class was friends, and it really showed in group projects. I was involved with many extracurricular activities, including band, choir, and the play. EH provides a vast variety of everything. All the teachers I have had are superb, and the gifted program really challenged me. I do not like our math books because they don't explain and you can't use them to study, but the math teachers are so great that it makes up for that.
We moved to Bethlehem from a smaller school district in NJ when my son was starting 6th grade. He's now completing 8th grade at East Hills. The concept of team teaching is very attractive and I am impressed with the Seminar program (for gifted students) that he attends. I am not happy with the large class size >27. The large class size is not ideal for the student who needs a smaller environment to thrive. He was also offered an array of electives for the end of the day (drama, sports) don't remember them all. The organized sports program is good: varsity soccer good. East Hills feeds into Freedom HS.

Main road was cordoned off yesterday (Tues) evening and could be closed for eight weeks, say county council.
THE main road into Westward Ho! has been closed amid fears a wall could collapse - and could be off limits for a further eight weeks.
Atlantic Way was closed yesterday (Tues) evening due to the risk that a gabion wall was beginning to spill onto the highway.
A Devon County Council spokesman said: "In the interest of public safety, Devon County Council has had to undertake an emergency closure on the B3236, Atlantic Way, adjacent to the Linden Homes site.
"The gabion wall retaining the bank is starting to bulge and there is a possibility that the bank could slip further.
"Devon County council is awaiting proposals from the developers on how it is going to rectify the problem and our structures team will ensure any work isappropriate for the site and fit for purpose. "This section of the road could be closed for around eight weeks and a diversion is currently in place."
The road is currently closed between Kingsley Road and Fosketh Hill and a diversion is in place through Northam.
@Delicadevon said on Twitter: "Landslide Atlantic Way where new houses being built - road closed so chaos trying to get in or out of Westward Ho!"
Last year there was a similar landslide on Atlantic Way following weeks of heavy rainfall.

Mmmmm so gratifying that both the planning dept and building control didn't think of this ever happening.....what happened to risk assessment? or is that only for normal businesses not the councils
Thursday, February 20, 2014
So comforting that DCC are so precise as to where Atlantic Way is closed. For the record it is between LAKENHAM HILL (Northam) and BEACH ROAD (Westward Ho!) Just in case whoever form DCC can read, Kingsley Road is in Bideford, Fosketh Hill is at the opposite end of Westward Ho! to where the road is closed off.
Wednesday, February 19, 2014
Intersting. What about drainage from the land the gabions are supporting or was this the cheapest quickest option that no real great thought or survey went into. Are the new tower town houses moving down the slope as well? Time for the BULLDOZERS!!

ON BEING A VIRTUAL AUTHOR - Pauline Fisk

lovely lovely post. full of angst and fun and crazy canine capers, but stuffed with useful info too, for us others out here (there?) in the virtual world who are struggling to work out exactly how, and if, if works. my experience after many years in 'real' publishing is that virtual authors and practitioners seem to be more trustworthy in their generosity. and after my scrooge post of a couple of weeks ago, thanks for reminding me of just how good it is to meet the children. that bit of author visiting makes it all worth while.

Loved this post, Pauline - will be tweeting it around. But your links don't work - is there a link to your story on your website? Could you go in and fix them, so we can all find your story easily?
But what a funny, engaging post! Plus a cute little dog obviously named after my much missed ex-cat, Biffo.

Thanks for the kind words, but what a mess of a post. What happened to my paragraphs? They were there when I previewed the post! And the links. Aarggh! Can you edit a post once it's gone up? I don't know, but I'm going to give it a go.
PS. The one thing you can be sure about -'Ben the Balloon Man' will be visiting my website on Christmas Day and there for the following week. So keep an eye out for him.

Phew, it worked. Paragraphs reinstated and links make sense.

When you say ex-cat, do you mean in the sense that it's no longer a cat, or no longer? And, looking at the photo , is there any family likeness?

I enjoy writing hard science-fiction stories. What is "hard" science-fiction, and how does it differ from "soft"? Well, hard sci-fi begins by defining sci-fi as that branch of literature which is written with science or technology as the main focus of the story. Since the name of the genre is "science-fiction", one might conclude this is how sf started out, huh?
By the above stringent definition of sci-fi, most of what is being published today under the sf label doesn't qualify. Perhaps we should apply a label coined by George Lucas: "Space Fantasy".
The "hard sf" writer takes great care to make the science and technology as plausible as possible. He asks you to believe, at most, one unbelievable thing per story, not several dozen.
You might enjoy some of the following stories I have written. But only if you like HARD sci-fi. These stories deal chiefly with technology, and very little time is spent on the traumatic events which occurred in the characters' childhoods which scarred them for life. Warning: This sf is so hard you might chip a tooth!

Notice: Winter roadworks will be affecting roads into the village between 3 November 2014 to 27 February 2015. Just follow the diversion signs.
Step back in time to discover a restored mill and working forge in this pretty village
Nestling in a valley that reaches down to the sea on east Devon's dramatic Jurassic Coast, the village of Branscombe is surrounded by picturesque countryside with miles of tranquil walking through woodland, farmland and beach. Branscombe's charming thatched houses, working forge and restored watermill add to the timeless magic of the place.
An easy graded trail winds up from the beach to the village passing Manor Mill, the Old Bakery tearooms and the working forge. For the more adventurous join the coast path and wander around Beer, once a notorious smuggling centre, or explore eastwards and discover wild dramatic cliffs and steep, green valleys.
Cooling down at the mill
Visit on Sunday afternoons from 2 - 5pm and discover the mill's story.
Watch the restored waterwheel turn and the mill machinery creak and crunch as a knowledgeable guide explains how it works. Younger visitors can enjoy dressing up or spotting the (plastic) rats hidden about the mill.
Take a stroll down to the beach
We also care for Branscombe Mouth, a long pebbly beach which has some great rock pools to explore at low tide. Just outside the mill is a wide and level footpath which will take you down to the beach (takes about 20 minutes). From here you can walk to Beer along the coast path or enjoy the views at East or West Cliffs.
Time for a bite to eat
At the Old Bakery tea-room enjoy morning coffee, lunch or tea under the historic thatch or alfresco in the pretty garden.
The tea-room opens at 10.30am from Wednesday to Sunday until the 2nd November. Dogs are welcome in the garden.
Things to do at Branscombe
- Climbing a huge hill
- Checking out the crazy creatures in a rock pool
- Creating some wild art
- Jumping over waves
- Going swimming in the sea
- Skimming a stone
- Eating an apple straight from the tree
- Flying a kite

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — Fewer students are bringing cars on campus this year, in line with a five-year trend in decreasing parking permit sales, The News-Gazette reports. University officials say many factors are at play, including rising permit prices; tough economic times and students choosing alternative modes of transportation. City officials say their strategy has been to draw traffic away from campus through lower prices for city parking permits for spaces on the fringe. To read the full story, click here.

Beauty Flash Blog isn't just about makeup and skincare… these girls touch on everything from art to cuisine to fashion. Of course, the beauty tips are to die for though!

Our Goals
To commercialize an FDA and EU approved CTC apheresis system
- For diagnostic and research applications: CTC collection in the common 10 mL format, concentrated from up to 250 mL of blood from patients with solid tumors. It would contain a far greater quantity of viable CTCs for downstream analysis by other CTC platforms (e.g., enumeration, culturing and DNA sequencing), thereby improving their sensitivity and confidence level.
- For therapeutic applications: CTC removal from a cancer patient's entire blood volume (5 L), as a therapy to impede the progression of metastasis, either as a standalone or adjuvant therapy.
- CTC market is the next big diagnostic opportunity
- Viatar's technology advantage: complements and improves the capabilities of all other diagnostic CTC platforms
- by collecting a far greater quantity of viable cells
- in the common 10 mL format used for processing and analysis by all diagnostic CTC platforms
- Established intellectual property estate

Ground Landlord, Leaseholders, &c.
General description and date of the structure.
Condition of repair.
Historical notes.
Bibliographical references.
In the Committee's MS. collection are—
The property and ground belong to Mrs. MacIntosh, and form part of the
MacIntosh estate in South Bromley. The present leaseholder, who has held the
lease for eight years, is Mr. Alfred William Hammond.
The house is square in plan, with additions at the north-west corner; the
main entrance faces east. It adjoins Bromley Hall on the south side, and is known
as 240, Brunswick-road.
The exterior, and in fact the whole of the house, appears to be not earlier in
date than the end of the 18th century. The windows and door on the ground floor
are square headed, but have semi-circular yellow brick arches above them in the
manner common to the houses of this period.
Inside there is very little that is native to the house of any interest. The great
charm lies in the additions made at different times by various inhabitants. All over
the house in many rooms is a variety of old oak carving, grotesques, &c., mainly
"Early Renaissance" in style, which were obtained at great expense by a former
tenant, Mr. Woodin. He was an actor and clown, and had a mania for old carved
oak work. In the library is a carved wooden chimney piece, of 17th century date, with
panels filled with festoons, drums, musical instruments, &c. The staircase is a curious
piece of work; it is all of oak, and the handrail was made by Mr. Woodin with various
lengths of moulding pieced together; the balusters are of carved oak of perhaps
French design, and at the bottom there is an immense newel with a wooden lion,
well carved, seated on top. The ceiling of the staircase part of the hall, and the
soffit of the stairs, are covered with paintings on canvas, with groups of allegorical
figures, which were painted by the actor tenant and his friend Telbin, the scene
painter at Drury-lane Theatre some forty years ago. The library fireplace has a dog
stove, and the sides and hearth are covered entirely with old Dutch tiles, some very
good in design.
Mr. Hammond has followed partly on the same lines, and has substituted one
or more dog stoves and open fireplaces for the old stoves.
The garden is quaint and was probably laid out by the eccentric actor. It is
composed mainly of a series of zig-zag mounds, covered with trees and shrubs of all
kinds, and paths running along the tops of these mounds, connected with each other
by bridges.
The house is in good condition structurally, and is kept in excellent condition by the present
The house has been called the "Manor House" for a period extending beyond the memory of the
oldest inhabitant hereabouts; but there is no doubt that Bromley Hall is the original manor house
of the Lower Manor of Bromley. Previous tenants were the Stockwells (the ship builders), and
after them Mr. Woodin, whose lease the present tenant continued.
There does not appear to be any mention of this house in Dunstan's History of Bromley or any of
the surveys of London.

Attack Dawgs face tough battle in game against Torrey Pines
The Ramona Jr. Mitey Mites Attack Dawgs put up a great fight against a much larger Torrey Pines team in a disappointing loss that disrupts an undefeated record for the Attack Dawgs.
Jonny Cohen and Angelo Flores on the offensive line, were instrumental in blocking and creating a hole for quarterback Brayden Nungesser to run in for a 47-yard touchdown. Josiah Bowman also made a touchdown run that required a break through in two attempted tackles. Cole Mattson made hits that assisted the team in securing better field position. Cole also punched in for a touchdown near the goal line.
A strong performance by the defense included players Kai Hofstee, Garrett Pekelder, and Jordan Tretera that held the Torrey Pines Falcons to a tied score at the half.
Although the Attack Dawgs did not secure the win, these players held tough and managed to add 22 points to the board, the most a team had ever put up against them.

A judge has approved a $300,000 settlement of a lawsuit stemming from a fatal police shooting in Culpeper.
The family of Patricia Ann Cook will receive about $170,000 from the settlement. The rest of the settlement will cover attorney's fees.
The 54-year-old woman was shot five times by former Culpeper Police Officer Daniel Harmon-Wright in February of 2012 following an altercation.
The officer was convicted of voluntary manslaughter and sentenced to three years in prison.
The settlement also dismissed civil claims against Harmon-Wright, as well as Police Chief Chris Jenkins and former Police Chief Dan Boring.

Today's top story: How to discover what personal finance nerds know. Also in the news: How to get a judgment off of your credit report, the high cost of college tuition convenience fees, and what's really behind all of your financial fears.
10 Things Only Personal Finance Nerds Would Understand
We could all stand to be a little nerdy when it comes to personal finance.
How to Get a Judgment off Your Credit Report
Difficult but not impossible.
Is Convenience When Paying Your Tuition Worth a 2.62% Fee?
Not when it could add up to over $1000 a year.
Common Money Fears and How to Get Over Them
What's really behind those nagging financial fears?
Five apps to help you organize your personal finances
Something to do on your phone that isn't Candy Crush.
Dear Liz: My husband returned a car to the dealer when he lost his job. Now the company says he owes it more than $7,000 (the difference between what he owed to the dealer and the price for which the car was sold). He refuses to pay any amount, but recently he received a letter from a law office demanding payment or they will take him to court. Is he obliged to pay this money? What options does he have to get rid of this debt?
Answer: A debt doesn't disappear simply because someone decides not to pay it.
Your husband signed loan paperwork to buy the car, and this paperwork obligated him to repay a certain amount. Voluntarily surrendering the car didn't change his obligation. Also, the surrender probably is being reported to the credit bureaus as a repossession, which is a big negative mark on his credit reports. Some people mistakenly believe that a voluntary surrender avoids credit damage. Typically, it does not.
Your husband could make matters worse if he continues his stubbornness. The law firm can take the collection to court, where it's likely to win. That will add a judgment to your husband's credit files and cause further damage to his scores. His wages could be garnished to pay the debt.
Your husband may be able to settle this debt for less than he owes, especially if he can offer a substantial lump sum, but negotiations with a collector can be tricky. He may want to consult an attorney for help or at least arm himself with more knowledge about what to do from sites such as DebtCollectionAnswers.com.
If this is just one of a number of unpaid bills, though, you both may benefit from talking to a bankruptcy attorney about your options.
In the future, keep this experience in mind when you go to buy another car. Making at least a 20% down payment and limiting the loan term to four years or less will help ensure that you're never "upside down" like this again.
Dear Liz: I have a 401(k) that has a required annual distribution because I am over 71 1/2 years old. Can I use this distribution as qualified income to invest in a Roth IRA? I have no W-2 earnings, although I do have other income sources that are reported on 1099 forms.
Answer: To contribute to a Roth or other individual retirement account, you must have taxable compensation, which the IRS defines as wages, salaries, commissions, tips, bonuses or net income from self-employment. The IRS also includes taxable alimony and separate maintenance payments as compensation for IRA purposes.
So if the money reported on one of those 1099 forms is from self-employment income, then you can contribute to a Roth IRA. If the form is reporting interest and dividends or other income that doesn't meet the IRS definition of taxable compensation, then you're out of luck.
If you don't have income that meets the IRS definition of taxable compensation, but your spouse does, you may still qualify for IRA contributions, provided you file a joint return that meets the required income thresholds.

When To Declare Bankruptcy
When to make one of life's most difficult decisions.
Getting into an Ivy League school is basically a lottery for smart kids. There are no guarantees. Winning admission at many highly-regarded public universities is easier, but only by comparison. UCLA accepts about a quarter of its applicants, instead of the single digit acceptance rate at Harvard or Yale.
Look outside that privileged circle of "name brand," well-known schools, though, and it's a whole different universe. Most colleges are worried about getting enough students to enroll, not about how many they can turn away. The competition is particularly tough for small- to medium-sized private colleges that don't have fat endowments. You can read "College is a now a buyer's market," my Reuters column this week, for more.
Here's another fact you may have missed when reading breathless media accounts of "how hard it is to get into college": where you go matters a lot less than your experience while you're there. Elite schools apparently offer no advantage it comes to success in life.
I attended a small private college in the Pacific Northwest: Pacific Lutheran University. My alma mater recently named me one of its distinguished alumni. I was honored to be part of this impressive group, which included best-selling author Marissa Meyer and Air Force flight nurse/helicopter pilot Ed Hrivnak, who wrote the book "Wounded" about his experiences in Iraq and who was one of the first responders to the Oso landslide disaster in Washington state.
Research indicates a good reason for our success after school was the relationships we had with our professors. They weren't far away creatures at the bottom of some cavernous lecture hall. They were accessible, they taught in small classrooms and they cared about our progress.
It's only in the past few years that I've fully appreciated my college experience. For years I wondered if I should have attended a name-brand school. (I was accepted as a transfer student to Stanford, but opted not to go, since the financial aid office offered loans rather than the scholarships and grants I got at PLU.) Now I'm really glad I studied where I did.
So my advice to families contemplating college: open your eyes, and look beyond the name brands. There are some real gems out there that will be happy to have your kids and that will give them what they need to succeed.

|Arabidopsis thaliana histone deacetylase 1 (AtHD1) and epigenetic regulation
|Tian, Lu
|Epigenetic regulation is a mechanism by which heritable changes in gene expression are controlled by chromatin status rather than primary DNA sequence . Changes in chromatin structure affect accessibility of DNA elements to the transcriptional machinery and thus affect transcription activity of the gene . A key event in this process is reversible modification of core histones , which is catalyzed by histone acetyltransferases (HATs ) and histone deacetylases (HDs , HDAs , or HDACs ) . In general , histone deacetylation is related to transcriptional gene silencing , whereas acetylation is associated with gene activation .To study the role of histone deacetylase in plant gene regulation and development , we generated constitutive antisense histone deacetylase 1 (CASH ) transgenic plants . AtHD1 is a homolog of RPD3 protein , a global transcriptional regulator in yeast . Expression of the antisense AtHD1 caused dramatic reduction in endogenous AtHD1 transcription , resulting in accumulation of acetylated histones . Down -regulation of histone deacetylation caused a variety of growth and developmental abnormalities and ectopic expression of tissue -specific genes . However , changes in genomic DNA methylation were not detected in repetitive DNA sequences in the transgenic plants .We also identified a T -DNA insertion line in exon 2 of AtHD1 gene (athd1 -t1 ) , resulting in a null allele at the locus . The complete inhibition of the AtHD1 expression induced growth and developmental defects similar to those of CASH transgenic plants . The phenotypic abnormalities were heritable across the generations in the mutants . When the athd1 -t1 /athd1 -t1 plants were crossed to wild -type plants , the mutant phenotype was corrected in the F1 hybrids , which correlated with the AtHD1 expression and reduction of histone H4 Lys12 acetylation . Microarray analysis was applied to determine genome -wide changes in transcriptional profiles in the athd1 -t1 mutant . Approximately 6 .7 % (1 ,753 ) of the genes were differentially expressed in leaves between the wild -type (Ws ) and the athd1 -t1 mutant , whereas 4 .8 % (1 ,263 ) of the genes were up - or down -regulated in flower buds of the mutant . These affected genes were randomly distributed across five chromosomes of Arabidopsis and represented a wide range of biological functions . Chromatin immunoprecipitation assays indicated that the activation for a subset of genes was directly associated with changes in acetylation profiles .

May is Stroke Awareness Month; screenings help people identify stroke risk factors
WHAT: As the number one cause of death in the United States and an occurrence that happens every 40 seconds, stroke kills more than 137,000 people each year. This is why the month of May is dedicated to national stroke awareness. Five Abrazo Health Care Hospitals in the Valley are focusing on the importance of stroke screenings in partnership with the American Stroke Association.
Members of the community are invited to attend this free screening to asses their risk for stroke. Participants can have vital signs and blood glucose levels checked and evaluated, receive a Bruit check (to listen for any blockage), a risk factor assessment performed by a neurologist, a consultation with a pharmacist to review current medications, and receive stroke education and information. There are a limited number of spaces available and people are encouraged to 1-888-3ABRAZO to reserve a spot.

Spring time has finally arrived and that means more people are outside looking for a nice spot to stop and smell the flowers. And thanks to one local boy's efforts, the Trinity Lutheran Community Garden might be the perfect place to sit and relax. This past Saturday, Boy Scout Troop 291 member Thomas Miller helped install two new benches and shrubbery as part of his Eagle Scout project. Miller was helped by members of his troop to help beautify the area.
"The Eagle Scout project is a mandatory project that is meant to establish long lasting benefit in the community," said Miller, who is an eight year member of the Boy Scouts. "It is essential to do the project in order to attain Eagle Scout status, which is the highest ranking in the Boy Scouts."
Miller said that he chose the Hicksville Community Garden as his location for the project because he wanted to beautify the area and give it a natural setting.
"I wanted to make it a nice environment for Trinity Lutheran church members and members of the community to come and sit and enjoy their surroundings," Miller said.
As part of his project, Miller helped build two wooden benches and poured the cement base to secure the benches to the perimeter of the garden. He also added small shrubs and plantings in the central portion of the garden.
Linda Wolf, who is Committee Chairperson at the Church, said that Miller had worked in the garden before and he proposed his idea for the new benches to the Community Garden Board.
"We thought it would be a great project for the Garden," said Wolf. "The Garden is four years old and with the new additions over the past few years is starting to look better and better all the time."
Some of those additions include a vegetable patch that was planted by the St. Ignatius Food Bank and fruit trees that were added to the garden last year.

Most political movements in India have no purpose. Me have seen very few political people who are forthright. The only recent example I saw was with Mr Rahul Gandhi who with a clear consciene pointed out that he is surprised as to how the party he belongs to runs. He really pointed fingers at the dynastic and crony politics that runs within his own stable. I wonder how many of the set of parlimentarains would be forthright in their own activities and achievements leave along putting fire and backbiting on each other.Answered by Unblock Saj, 21 Feb '13 01:03 pm

The singer says she turned down a chance to smooch the Gossip Girl hunk when he appeared in her latest video because she thought it would make her beau, Lou Al-Chamaa, jealous.
"They wanted me and Chace to kiss in the 'I Will Be' video. But I said no way," she tells the U.K magazine Sugar, which goes on sale Saturday.

British singer Leona Lewis has reacted with dismay to some of the media chatter about the fact that she is still dating the same boyfriend she had before she found fame.
Lewis, 24, has been with electrician Lou Al-Chamaa since she was 17 and calls him her "best friend" in a new interview.
When she was asked about the "snide bewilderment" that accompanies references to their enduring love, she says, "It does make me angry. Because he's a great person. And it doesn't matter what you do in life, what your job is, where you come from."

Lewis, 24, had been signing autographs at the bookstore for about 90 minutes when "a guy came up and punched her to the side of the head," the pop star's spokesman tells the BBC. Though she didn't need to go to the hospital, Lewis was "understandably badly shaken," her spokesman says.
On Thursday, Lewis wrote on her Web site, "Thank you so much for your support it is truly overwhelming. Yesterday was a horrible shock and left me extremely hurt and upset. I'm very sorry to those I wasn't able to meet at the signing. Thank you again for all of the lovely messages."

These United States: A Picture of the Three of Us at the Gate to the Garden of Eden
These United States: A Picture of the Three of Us at the Gate to the Garden of Eden
|United Interests
|Release Date:
These United States singer/guitarist Jesse Elliott must be fatally enamored of some bygone, romanticized American mysticism. A Picture of the Three of Us at the Gate to the Garden of Eden, his band's fanciful debut, plays like some rogue-on-the-cusp-of-adulthood's purplish, Arlo Guthrie-meets-Postal Service interior monologue.
The ambling vibraphone blues of "Kings and Aces" find a drifter in bed with a girl who lays her unsavory past on him; he's stuck between skipping town alone and taking her away with him. A plodding, patty-cake rumble, "So High so Low so Wide so Long" lays out a chat between our protagonist and some immortal avatar. Elliott's vocals here are especially tender and tentative, as though he's talking to himself under his breath, vowing to take over the world: "My gold is gone, but I've got receipts/ And I am going to read them from the mountaintop, tall tales of busted bandits, cobweb corner shops." Trumpets blaring like Gatling guns, "The Business" blusters forward with Babbitt-like bravado and a jamboree swing, as its gainfully employed hero boasts to his beloved: "I got a glorified leather lunch box/ Got an old set of shoes but a new pair of socks/ I got a tie barely matches my shoes, but at the end of the day I'm coming over to see you."
Whether Picture is a perspective-consolidated, first-person Winesburg, Ohio or a digital-age blues-folk touchstone is irrelevant--it's as lovingly crafted and comfortable as an old, worn pair of shoes.

Steve Bailey's Blog
I'm not a game developer, and I don't harbour a secret wish to be, which is partly why I like video games so much. I also like talking about them with other people. That's been the most rewarding definition of an 'industry', in my experience: a great big confluence of conversations.
I was a mathematician for six years, then a games journalist for six years, and I've spent the past six being a games analyst. I'm terrible with people, unless they stand exactly the right distance away.
These are not the opinions of my employer. If they were, I wouldn't have a job! Help me out a little: if you think something I write isn't suitable for Gamasutra, please let me know.

Kate Winslet in Helmut Lang current collection, and a Helmut Lang catwalk from Spring 1993
Marvellous news: this New York Fashion Week sees the first Helmut Lang catwalk show since 2006 taking place, a brilliant indication of the label's current success under the ownership of 'Theory' and design direction of Michael and Nicole Colovos.
Helmut Lang was, of course, one of the biggest design houses of the late 80's and 90's, famed for its minimal cuts and super luxe fabrics, and with Lang (the man)'s 'séances de travail' (translated as 'working sessions', which is what he called his catwalk shows) forming the backbone of the brand's success. However, after being bought by the Prada group in two separate transactions in 1999 and 2004, and the departure of Lang himself, the company made a loss for six years and was subsequently sold to Link Theory Holdings in 2006.
'Theory', to you and me, installed Michael and Nicole Colovos - founders of denim brand 'Habitual' - as head designers, which turned out to be a genius move and has signaled the reinvigoration of the label which is once again famed for its minimal cuts and luxe fabrics. Yay! The upcoming catwalk show, on September 10th, will also be screened online on the label's new site, in another move which mirrors Helmut Lang (the man)'s use of t'interweb waaaay back in 1998.
And THAT, my dears, is what you call coming full circle.

Home Featured Articles What about Local Government Elections in Guyana?
By Editorial Board
April 10, 2012
A Partnership for Unity (A.P.N.U) wishes to bring to the attention of the public, the chaotic and destructive agenda that is currently being prosecuted by the Ministry of Local Government and Regional Development through its "spin twins" Ministers, Mr. Ganga Persaud and Mr. Norman Whittaker , with a supporting cast that includes Permanent Secretary, Mr.Collin Croal and Mr. Pooran Persaud.
Instead of engaging in soul-searching to determine why the PPP/C regime was rebuffed and rejected by a majority of the electorate, at the 28th November 2011 General and Regional Elections, the PPP/C Administration seems intent on using this Ministry to impose its control over and to subvert the right of citizens to freely choose councillors and officials to manage community affairs and local government issues.
The programme which the Government has embarked on surreptitiously, using the resources of the State it has at its disposal, is intended to place that Party in a decidedly advantageous position when the long overdue Local Government Elections are held later this year.
It will be recalled that Local Government Elections were last held in Guyana in 1994, eighteen years ago. Since that time the PPP in government has always postponed the holding of elections on some pretext or the other. This is a serious indictment against the PPP/C regime, which, when it was in opposition, always promoted the value and importance of empowering people, at the level of communities, to manage the affairs of the communities in which they live. It should, therefore, come as no surprise to the PPP/C that, because of the absence of elections over the eighteen year period, local government bodies will be depleted by migration, death, loss of interest and for other reasons over and beyond the control of those who were originally elected as councillors in the NDCs.
The answer to the problem does not reside in these exalted officials in the Ministry replacing NDCs with party hacks via the process of orchestrated complaints and calls for inquiries by lackeys of the regime, particularly in a period when elections are slated to be held later in the year. That approach simply will not "wuk". It was tried before in several NDCs with disastrous consequences.
The Ministers are fully aware that, in almost every instance when IMCs were imposed on communities, the persons appointed to replace them were not up to the mark. They were clearly not imbued with the spirit of volunteerism which drives elected local government officials and in almost every instance they were more interested in ripping off the NDCs and feathering their nest at the expense of community interests and development. In spite of this, Ministers Ganga Persaud and Norman Whittaker are persisting with their approach. They are going around the country dissolving and dismantling NDCs and replacing them with IMCs in a furtive and non-transparent manner and, in the process, ignoring the will of the majority of citizens whose preference is to elect their own officials.
Their approach is unprincipled and undemocratic but the intent is clear: it is to use the resources of central government to marginalize, to exert pressure on and beat into submission, citizens and communities that rejected them.
The announcement last week by Finance Minister, Dr. Ashni Singh, that the subsidy on electricity rates to residents of Region 10, which have been in place for decades, will be withdrawn, is a clear example of the political spite that the PPP/Care unashamedly engaging in.
The examples of insincerity and bad faith, on the part of Ministry of Local Government and Regional Development, abound. Following the swearing in of councillors to the RDCs and the election of Chairmen and Vice-Chairmen of the 10 administrative regions, on 25th January 2012 this year, Mr. Ganga Persaud, at a media briefing that very evening at his office, urged the newly elected chairs and vice chairs to work in unity and to continue the development of the Regions. He further committed his Ministry to work with all the councils "and to provide as much support as is required to ensure that the necessary services are provided to all citizens". His sidekick former Senior Minister, now Junior Minister, Mr. Norman Whittaker, who was present at the elections in Region 1, echoed similar sentiments.
What were their subsequent actions? A mere two days after, the PS, Mr. Collin Croal, wrote to the REO of Region 4, instructing the arbitrary relocation of 12 NDC overseers in Region 4. This was done without any consultation with the affected persons or with the just-constituted RDC. This but highlights the brazen, unprincipled and undemocratic behaviour of the PPP. They have demonstrated that they will undermine, usurp and bypass the authority of RDCs and NDCs to suit their own purposes.
More recently, this infamous trio (Persaud, Whittaker and Croal) said to councillors of the Buxton-Fouls and Enmore – Hope NDC, who were summoned to the Ministry, that there is public sentiment that NDCs are not really interested in helping to develop their respective communities and that many of them have lost contact with the people they were elected to serve and that this is an unacceptable situation. This is an outrageous position for the Government to take given that it is successive PPP Governments that are responsible for the non-renewal of these Councils, due to the non-holding of local government elections since 1997, when they were last due.
A.P.N.U wishes to state its position clearly. It is that citizens want duly elected NDCs, NOT the PPP's handpicked IMCs. We call on the Government to get serious and re-commit themselves to the reform of the local government system as recommended by the Task Force, set up by then President Bharrat Jagdeo and the late Opposition Leader, Mr. Desmond Hoyte, in 2001, as the precursor for the holding of Local Government Elections.
There are numerous cases of incompetence, unaccountability, corruption and others malpractices that the Government should attend to before they seek to undermine the system of local government. Some priorities would include the following: fixing the Skeldon sugar factory and the Enmore packaging plant; drainage problems on the East Coast; the Amalia falls road project fiasco; the Hope canal escapade; the Supenaam stelling scandal; to name a few.
If it is enquiries they are seeking to commission, a few would include the following: Extra-Judicial Killings; Phantom Gangs; the crime spree; the Roger Khan Saga; the Lusignan, Bartica and Lindo Creek Massacres; Contracts to the new GPC; the Lotto Scam; the illegal use of NICIL funds; the Queens Atlantic/Sanata Textiles Scandal; GGMC; the Polar Beer Scam; the NIS/Clico misadventure, among many others.
We urge the Government to commit to the following:
· Decentralize not recentralize;
· Stop seeking to control and dominate local government organs;
· Allow communities to elect their own councillors;
· Respect local leaders;
· Practice oversight not domination;
· Empower communities to manage local issues and affairs; and
· Provide financial and other resources to local government bodies on an equitable basis.
