Meadowlark does an outstanding job challenging each student academically along with creating a safe and caring environment. Both of my children attended Meadowlark and could not have had a better learning experience to prepare them for middle school and high school! Great teachers teaching character education! If you want your child challenged academically, Meadowlark is the place for you! If not interested in challenging your child, I would suggest to go to a different elementary!!! This is an EXCELLENT elementary school!!! Very blessed to have my kids attend!!!
My kids have had an amazing experience at Meadowlark. The principal has an open door and gets to know each student. The PAC (Parent Advisory Council) is very active. I can't say enough good things about Meadowlark!

Aviva Premiership: Northampton Saints stroll past struggling Sale Sharks
Related links
Also see
The arrival of John Mitchell had no immediate galvanising effect on Sale as they slumped to a 27-16 defeat by Northampton.
The Kiwi has taken over at the helm of the Premiership's bottom side but his new charges had no answer to the power of Northampton up front.
The Saints ran in three tries in the thick Salford fog to wrap up the victory by the break, but failed to find a bonus-point score as Sale improved markedly in the second half.
Sale struggled to cope with the Saints' rolling maul all evening and quickly gave away a penalty which Ryan Lamb converted, although a powerful burst from Richie Gray earned Nick Macleod the chance to level.
But the driving maul again proved Sale's undoing on 18 minutes as Soane Tonga'huia broke off the back as the defenders were sucked in before putting Jamie Elliott in for a free run to the line, with Lamb converting.
Sale were also struggling at the breakdown and quick turnover ball proved fatal four minutes later as Callum Clark sent Tonga'huia rumbling down the same touchline to score the Saints' second try.
Lamb converted and knocked over a drop-goal before Sale shipped another try with time expired, a loose pass from Macleod in midfield allowing Tom May to scoop up and race 40 metres to score.
At 27-3 at the break Sale were facing a hammering but they rallied impressively in the second half - perhaps spurred on by Mitchell's teamtalk.
A sumptuous delayed pass from Mark Cueto put Rob Miller in at the corner and three minutes from time Sale's forwards extracted a measure of revenge for their torrid night as a pushover try was finished off by Tommy Taylor.
Sale gamely pursued the try that would have earned them a losing bonus point in the closing moments, but they failed to break the Saints defensive line and once again have nothing to show for their efforts.

This year's Trends Report from the Foodservice Packaging Institute revealed three key industry shifts when it comes to packaging. Overall, environmental and economic pressures are creating a competitive landscape in which all supply chain partners ultimately benefit, said FPI President Lynn M. Dyer.
The top three trends are below:
It's all about the beverages – and their packaging: Foodservice operators are turning to new and expanded beverage options to boost their bottom lines. That means paying more attention to beverage packaging. Polystyrene foam and single-wall paper cups have long dominated, but competition is growing in both the hot and cold beverage container categories. New product usage includes insulated double-wall paper cups, as well as insulated plastic cups made from polypropylene and polyethylene terephthalate. Recycled content in both paper and plastic cups continues to grow rapidly, too.
Material expansion and contraction is taking place: Supply chain partners are considering the material options for foodservice packaging. With advances in research and development, new technologies, price fluctuations, environmental pressures and the increased supply of recycled materials, more material options exist in foodservice packaging than ever before. Increasing interest in composting and recycling of foodservice packaging are driving some material selections as well.
Size matters. Size continues to play a large role in the market, with smaller, single-serve items trending in restaurants. The top reasons include nutritional purposes, cost-cutting measures, gaining non-traditional day parts and catering to a growing consumer base that tends to "graze" throughout the day. Packaging plays an increasingly important role in supporting menu trends and consumer demands due to more competition and growth in the grab 'n go category, stronger interest from convenience stores and distribution channel changes.

TUESDAY, Jan. 24 (HealthDay News) -- The most common indication for total elbow arthroplasty in New York State changed from inflammatory conditions in 1997 to trauma in 2006, with revision and complication rates remaining high, according to a study published in the Jan. 18 issue of The Journal of Bone & Joint Surgery.
David M. Gay, M.D., from Flagler Orthopedics and Sports Medicine in Palm Coast, Fla., and colleagues analyzed a state census of all ambulatory and inpatient surgical procedures between 1997 to 2006, and evaluated 1,155 primary total elbow arthroplasties performed in New York State for complications, readmission, and subsequent surgery data.
The researchers found that 43 percent of total elbow arthroplasties performed in 1997 were associated with trauma and 48 percent with inflammatory conditions, compared with 69 and 19 percent, respectively, in 2006. Twelve percent of all patients were readmitted to the hospital within 90 days, and 5.6 percent were admitted for problems related to the primary surgery. The revision rates were 4.8 percent for traumatic arthroplasties, 8.3 percent for inflammatory arthritis, and 14.7 percent for osteoarthritis, representing an overall revision rate of 6.4 percent. Surgeons with no recorded experience performed 90.5 percent of the total elbow arthroplasties.
"Further investigations into implant design and possibly a higher referral rate to surgeons with greater experience with elbow arthroplasty may result in a reduction in the revision rates and perioperative complications," the authors write.
One or more of the study authors disclosed a financial relationship with an entity in the biomedical arena.

Elkhart's plan to annex hundreds of properties over the next five years could be put on hold if a proposed moratorium passes in the state assembly.
An amendment was added to Senate Bill 273 Monday that would prohibit municipalities from annexing contiguous properties unless they introduce annexation ordinances and adopt fiscal plans by April 1, 2014.
In 2013, the city of Elkhart started moving forward with a four-phase plan to annex some 16 areas over a five year period. Three of the four phases have financial plans in the books, but the fourth phase my not be finalized by the April 1 deadline.
The amended SB 273 is currently being considered in a conference committee, but State Sen. Jim Buck (R) from Indiana's 21st District said it will be submitted to the full House and Senate by March 14.
According to Sen. Buck the proposed bill and amendment won't impede annexation in the long run as long as it's done in accordance with what property owners are allowed to do to remonstrate against attempted, undesired, annexation.
The amended SB 273 would establish an 18 month moratorium on annexations so that a state study committee could review the law.
"Indiana has one of the most punitive annexation laws in the country," said Sen. Buck, "to the point where annexation takes place for money and not for development."
Sen. Buck said there have been cases where municipal governments take profitable parcels of land, like agricultural properties, and annex them. The senator described this type of unessential annexation as "territory grabbing" to improve the stature and profits of a city.
"You'll see some of them say, 'we're one of the fastest growing cities.' But they're only growing because they're bringing in more population—and they're bringing them in a way that's not agreeable," Sen. Buck added.
There is an exception to proposed SB 273: if an area has an immediate need for development, such as an industry or business expressing interest to relocating within a municipality's jurisdiction, then a friendly annexation would be permitted after April 1, 2014 for that purpose.
Elkhart Mayor Dick Moore said he is greatly concerned by Monday's amendment. Moore said lawmakers in Indianapolis advised Elkhart to consider annexation as a potential resolution for the city's sewer dispute.
The annexation plan was passed in the fall of 2013 to replace the highly contested sewer compact fees. As properties, both commercial and residential, were annexed into the city they would begin paying city taxes and sewer rates and stop paying the compact fee.
Moore said the transition from compact fees to taxes leaves a revenue gap for all of 2015. If the moratorium is passed in the state assembly, Moore said he's not sure how or when the city will be able to recoup the anticipated revenue from taxes.
Sen. Buck explained that the point of SB 273 and its amendments is to prevent annexation from becoming a way for municipalities to generate extra revenue. However, Moore disagreed with the senators idea.
"The senator thinks about grabbing companies just for the purpose of raising revenue—that's your lifeblood, revenue is your lifeblood—you can't continue serving if you don't do that," said Moore. He's talking about annexing properties and expanding city limits to keep businesses' property taxes coming as companies move to properties outside the city.
Here's a list of the four phases of Elkhart's annexation plans:
Area #1 Airport
Area #2 CR 6 and CR 15
Area #3 Cr 17 and Middlebury St.
Area #4 Borg and Pierina
Area #5 CR 6 and SR 19
Area #6 Mishawaka Road and SR 19
Area #7 CR 6 and CR 11
Area #8 East of CR 1 and US 20 West
Area #9 Toledo Road and CR 13

1919 - 2014 |
James B. Getz Sr., 94, passed away Friday, March 7, 2014. Graveside service: A private family committal was held on Saturday in Greenwood Memorial Park. Memorials: Gifts in his memory may be made to the First Presbyterian Church, 1000 Penn St., Fort Worth, Texas 76102. Jim was born Aug. 8, 1919, in Fort Worth, son of Charles and Louise Getz. He was in the first Arlington Heights High School graduating class of 1938 and also attended TCU. Jim was a
World War II
veteran. After returning home, he married the love of his life, Mary Louise Stephens, in the old Presbyterian Church on Dec. 4, 1948. Jim was an active, beloved member of the First Presbyterian Church for over 70 years, during which time he was elected an elder and clerk of the session. He was quite active in various committees for the city of Fort Worth, serving as: chairman of the Committee of Management for the downtown YMCA, former director and vice chairman of the original downtown Fort Worth Association, past president of the Building Owners and Managers Association, vice chairman and director of the central area council for the Fort Worth Chamber of Commerce and past president of the Kiwanis Club of Fort Worth. Jim retired after 42 years as vice president and building manager of Transport Life in 1992. Jim's greatest assets were his commitment to his wife, family and love for his church. He was known as a sincere gentleman and a man with a servant's heart. Jim was widely sought after for his sage wisdom, advice and counsel. Oh yes! Every Christmas when you see the beautiful Fort Worth skyline, remember, Jim Getz Sr. was the genius originator of the very first downtown Christmas lights! Survivors: Jim is survived by his lovely wife of 66 years, Mary Lou; his son, James B. Getz Jr.; his daughter, Diane L. Walker; his grandchildren, Kelly Zinke, Lauren and Eric Getz, Allison, Ryan and John Walker; his great-grandchildren, Jennifer and Jordan Freeman; his sister-in-law, Gladys Pointer; and his nephew, Charles Cobden.

Hi, Doris. You have probably looked in the locked filing cabinets at Old Buncombe Genealogical Society, and found Abel and Margaret Hill's information. They are my several times double great grand parents.They are the parents of Margaret Hill Harrison. Margaret is buried beside her husband Joseph Harrison, Rev. war soldier, at Newfound Baptist Cemetary in Leicester, NC. Their daugheres Rachael Harrison Snelson Miller, and Jane Harrison Cassada are my several times great grand mothers, as well as aunts. Also, I placed an article in A Lot of Buncombe, giving Betty Hulse the correct information regarding who the family members are, and how they decend from Joseph and Margaret. It is only recently that I discovered the connection to the Mobley, Hills, Johnston, and Waggoner families. Do you have any data about how the families met and traveled into South Carolina? Thanks, Doris

Braving sweltering heatwave conditions, people came in droves to Nutan Vidyalaya Grounds here to listen to AICC president and UPA Chairperson Sonia Gandhi on Thursday.
The only solace for the crowd was that Ms. Gandhi came down after her speech and walked to the people waiting outside the "D-Zone" and greeted them.
The severe heat wave conditions in the Hyderabad-Karnataka region for the past few days is proving to be a major hurdle for campaign managers and they are campaign from early morning till 11 a.m. and resume after 5 p.m.
According to the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) the entire Hyderabad Karnataka Region is under the continuous spell of heat wave conditions with the temperatures crossing 42 degrees Celsius in most places.
As per the summary of recordings made at 8.30 a.m. on Thursday, Gulbarga recorded the State's highest maximum temperature of 42.1 degrees Celsius followed by Raichur and Bellary recording 42 degrees Celsius each and Koppal recording 41 degrees Celsius. Gulbarga also recorded the States highest minimum temperature of 28 degree Celsius.
The IMD officials predicted that the extreme heat wave conditions would continue for few more days and it would be hovering around 42 degree's Celsius on May 3 and 4 and 41 degrees on May 5, the day of the polls.

Demand response reduces overall energy usage, but the magnitude of the reduction depends on whether the technologies are developed and deployed with efficiency in mind.
The Efficiency Mandate: Net-Zero Neighborhoods
Utilities explore the potential of zero-energy homes.
That's a substantial premium in today's depressed housing market, but the benefits are so great that participation remains strong.
SolarSmart homes sell markedly faster than the standard houses, and appreciate in value more rapidly. Their appeal is widespread. The owner demographic is ethnically diverse, and skews toward middle-income families buying their first home, or those upgrading for the first time. Aside from their surprisingly nocuous PV shingles, houses in SolarSmart communities look just like any other new homes—and that's part of the point.
"One of the objectives of this program was to make these homes available on a wide scale," Hughes says. "We have homes available as small as 1,100 square feet and as large as 5,700 square feet. We have infill stuff downtown, and houses that are more rural. So we really do have a diverse community of home owners and home builders as well."
To date, SMUD has built 487 homes—370 under the SolarSmart smart program and 117 under previous zero-energy home initiatives. In 2007, SMUD set a market-penetration goal of 10 percent to 20 percent within 10 years. In 2008, SolarSmart homes exceeded 30 percent of the new home market.
That such gains occurred in the anemic 2008 new-home market may indicate a new direction for builders when the economy bounces back. In fact, the deep recession may accelerate the trend toward more efficient homes.
"In California, home building is way down—probably less than 10 percent of what it was a couple of years ago," says the DOE's Pratch. "But many builders feel that due to the recent spike in gasoline prices, homeowners are more concerned with efficiency and lower utility bills. They will probably do a lot more with high-efficiency homes when the market picks up."
Hughes says SMUD now envisions a future in which the vast majority of new homes in Sacramento would be built SolarSmart. That would have a significant impact on the utility's generation profile.
The SolarSmart project helps SMUD meet its aggressive board directives on solar and efficiency leadership. It also helps fulfill renewable-portfolio standards. But the bottom line is peak-load management.
"The driving force behind that is the fact that the majority of the energy generated and saved by these homes is generated and saved during peak hours," says Hughes. "If you projected this model out to all new construction you would see a big benefit for us in terms of peak." Over the long term, if 20 percent of all single-family homes in SMUD's territory achieved the kinds of performance demonstrated in the SolarSmart and ZEH programs, the utility would cut more than 100 MW off its summer peak demand.
Such peak-shaving potential is attractive to all types of utilities, including investor-owned utilities seeking to meet compliance requirements or defer peak-serving capacity additions.
"Everything we have achieved can be duplicated in the private utility world, but it does have a lot to do with the disposition of the organization," Hughes says. "We all have environmental regulations. Every utility has a renewable portfolio goal. This is a pretty cost effective way of utilizing

ECB discusses rate cut, depicts bleak 2013
FRANKFURT (Reuters) - The European Central Bank pondered an interest rate cut on Thursday and predicted the euro zone economy would shrink again in 2013, leaving the door open to a possible reduction in borrowing costs early next year.
ECB President Mario Draghi said the policymaking Governing Council held a wide discussion on interest rates before opting to leave them on hold. The euro fell against the dollar and the yen in response.
The Council also touched on the idea of cutting its deposit rate into negative territory. By effectively charging banks for their deposits rather than paying them interest, the ECB could push banks to put their money to work elsewhere.
"There was a wide discussion ... but the consensus was to leave the rates unchanged," Draghi told a news conference, a hint that opinions differed about what course to take. When there is unanimity, the ECB chief generally says so.
In the end, the ECB left its main interest rate at a record low 0.75 percent for the fifth month running despite new forecasts which suggest the euro area economy will contract next year as it has this. It left the deposit rate at zero.
On the idea of negative deposit rates, Draghi said: "We briefly touched upon the complexities that such a measure would involve and possible unintended consequences, but we didn't elaborate any further."
The bank's new staff projections put gross domestic product in a range of falling by 0.9 percent to growing by just 0.3 percent next year, suggesting contraction is far more likely than not. Draghi said downside risks prevailed.
In September, the ECB's staff had pencilled in a significantly higher range of -0.4 to +1.4 percent for the euro area economy.
"The somewhat downbeat ECB forecasts, the sombre tone of the ECB statement and Draghi's admission that the ECB had a 'wide discussion' over many issues including a potential rate cut also keep the door open for a cut in early 2013," said Berenberg Bank economist Holger Schmieding.
The Governing Council's decision to leave its main interest rate unchanged for now matched economists' expectations in a Reuters poll, which also showed opinion was split down the middle over the chances of a cut early next year.
"Later in 2013, economic activity should gradually recover as global demand strengthens and our accommodative monetary policy stance and significantly improved financial market confidence work their way through the economy," Draghi said.
But a political impasse over the United States' fiscal policy, which could presage steep tax hikes and budget cuts if a deal is not reached, could also dampen sentiment for longer, he said.
The level of uncertainty was reflected in the ECB's first attempt to forecast 2014, for which it pencilled in growth of between 0.2 and 2.2 percent. The midpoint forecast for 2012 was pushed slightly lower to -0.5 percent.
The ECB will also continue to supply euro zone banks with all the liquidity they ask for in the central bank's refinancing operations at least until July 2013, Draghi said.
While financial markets have calmed since the European Union and the International Monetary Fund put in place further steps to help Greece, and the ECB promised to do what it takes to preserve the euro, the bloc's economy has sunk into recession from which it shows few signs of emerging soon.
An inflation forecast of 1.1 to 2.1 percent next year -- compared with the ECB's target of close to but below two percent -- means there appears to be plenty of room to cut rates further.
But some at the central bank are wary of taking any action that could see the bloc's governments soft-pedal on budget consolidation efforts. Others, it seems, feel the economy warrants more stimulus now.
Market interest rates vary greatly across the 17-country bloc and the ECB is focused primarily on fixing what it calls the 'transmission mechanism' for passing on its rates to all corners of the euro area before.
The most obvious way of doing that would be using the ECB's yet to be used new bond-buying scheme, which could drive down government borrowing costs.
The ECB has not yet bought any sovereign debt under its new programme -- dubbed Outright Monetary Transactions (OMT) -- because Spain, which is seen as most likely to become the first country to make use of the new support measure, has not yet fulfilled the precondition of asking for help from the euro zone's rescue fund.
Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy has said he wants assurances that ECB intervention would bring down Spain's debt yields, Draghi refused to commit to any targets for bringing down Spanish borrowing costs.
"The conditions under which the OMT is going to be activated are very straight," he said. "They don't talk about negotiations or a certain interest rate or anything like that."

Why You Should Never Cancel a Vacation
By Rita Arens on March 14, 2014
BlogHer Original Post
Earlier this month, I spent a Tuesday morning standing in a cemetary in sub-zero temperatures a six-hour drive from my house. Despite my hat, ski jacket and boots, I wasn't able to stand graveside as long as I wanted to, because I'd lost feeling in my feet. By Wednesday afternoon, I was 1,200 miles away from home, shedding my light jacket as I walked out of a southern airport. To date, it was the most bizarre week of my life.
When we heard my father-in-law was going into hospice, my first reaction was to cancel our planned spring break vacation, even though we'd already bought and paid for both the plane tickets and the rental months before. So much was up in the air, and our first duty was to family. Then things unfolded very quickly, and my father-in-law died while my husband was flying home from week four of a full February of work trips. Our plan was for him to drive home, us to pack and for the whole family to head north first thing in the morning. I told my co-workers. I pulled out the suitcases. Then my husband called me while I was on the way to pick up my daughter from a friend's house and told me to stand down. It was done. We were now preparing for a funeral trip, not a goodbye trip. I pulled over three houses down from my driveway and cried, then I tried to figure out how to hold it together long enough to pick my daughter up and take her somewhere other than the foyer of her friends' house to tell her that she'd lost her grandpa.
We needed to leave pretty much immediately on Friday morning due to a blizzard heading our way and directly into the travel path we needed to take to Iowa. The church was available on Monday afternoon, which bumped the graveside service two hours farther north to Tuesday and landed us squarely in the kind hospitality of my brother- and sister-in-law for five days. Our flight was scheduled for Wednesday morning. I didn't think it was possible to pack and go to a five-day funeral trip followed by a seven-day vacation in the midst of abandoned jobs and school and unshoveled driveways and unopened mail. I didn't want to deal with it. Going on our vacation the day after the service seemed so inappropriate, so hard. We'd have to go to a burial, drive six hours home, unpack and repack for a week's journey. Get the neighbor to pick up my prescriptions so I wouldn't run out while traveling. Figure out when we could take the cat to the boarder since we'd get back after they closed on Tuesday.
Just. So. Hard. I didn't want to do it. All I wanted to do was climb into bed and pull the covers over my head and cry. But it was my husband's father who died, and my husband who had been shuttling around back and forth between Kansas City and Boston for four weeks, getting delayed and cancelled and buried under feet of snow and nor'easters and project plans screwed up by weather, and it was my husband who insisted that we go. We need this, he said. We need the family time. We need to leave this snow. I left the burial site with ugly tears still streaming down my face and snotty church toilet paper filling my ski jacket pockets. And we drove home and repacked.
I am not a morning person, and we got to bed late that Tuesday night. I dragged myself from bed Wednesday morning, eyes swollen, packed the cat in the carrier and headed to the boarder before seven. Then we were off to the airport with way too much luggage because in my fog I'd made lists containing clothes and shoes we didn't need, handing the papers out to each of us Tuesday night, saying only, "Just pack this. Don't think about it." I couldn't think at that point. All I could do was follow orders, even my own.
Something happened over the course of the week on vacation. Fresh off letting go of a man who'd been a major part of my life for the past fifteen years, I was able to live in the moment in that way you do when you realize everyone is going to die eventually. Away from the routine and bustle and deadlines of my job and my house, I felt the way the sand curved against my back through the thin beach towel, how I could wiggle around and force it to conform to my curves, to cradle me. I tried to write but couldn't. I read a little but had trouble absorbing or reflecting on what I'd seen. All I could do, really, was be.

"You're gonna be a Scotch drinker," my Grandma Rose said to me at the end of a Christmas dinner, with an approving smile. I was all of about six years old. This was still the 1960s and everybody drank. I had asked for, and was given, a sip of my father's after-dinner cordial, a tiny glass of Drambuie, and had claimed to like it. I did like it, in fact—unlike that nasty martini my father would often have (story of that first taste here). The Drambuie was syrupy sweet and I marveled at the way the alcohol seemed to blow up inside my mouth. Alas, a sip was all I would get. My tastes today, contrary to Rose's prediction, run to bourbon, but I still love the flavor of Drambuie, the Scotch-based liqueur. It and Read On »

Vermouth's Rebirthby Emilia |
Looks like vermouth is gaining steam in the cocktail world across the pond, via Independent UK.
Casting about for a cocktail high in bitters to make use of some of my own personal blend, and one with gin, because that's what the evening wanted, I happened on this distinctive cocktail, so high in bitters it can clearly fill in for a post-prandial digestif. It was created by Don Lee several years ago at Ssäm Bar in NYC, inspired by Chef Wylie Dufresne, and named for that chef's daughter. Served to the writer Brad Parsons, it wound up in Parsons's bitters book. I love bitters for the complexity they bring to a drink, this one very much in the sour category with its dose of fresh lime juice. It's become one of my favorite cocktails. If you don't have citrus bitters (or your own bitters), use what's on hand. This can be mixed Read On »
I'm presumably in Stonington, Maine, cutting pig and rejoicing in the glories of the hog with Charcuterie pal and co-author Brian Polcyn, to benefit the Island Culinary & Ecological Center. (Join us if you're anywhere near Stonington! Details here.) From Maine we return to wonderful Traverse City and Pigstock, so I'm reposting this splendid cocktail made from gin and preserved Michigan cherries (don't have any on hand? improvise!—a gin sour with preserved fruit). —MR A PR firm sent me a bottle of Nolet's gin, which I was happy to taste (and used in The Southside), but when I was researching the gin I came across a Cocktail Enthusiast review of the gin, and lo! What's this? The author of the post, Kevin Gray, included a cocktail recipe pairing the gin with sour cherries. His post Read On »
I love bitters for the complexity they bring to any drink, or situation in life for that matter, and I use them with a heavy hand in cocktails. One of my favorite cocktails is the Old-Fashioned (see below), so simple, so satisfying: whiskey, sugar, bitters. But what exactly are bitters? You don't really know until you make some yourself. Bitters are simply flavor extractions. Happily, our neighbor Tobin Ludwig is one of the founders of Hella Bitters, which makes a variety of splendid bitters (about 1500 bottles a month), and he gave me a quick lesson in their making. "I totally encourage people to make their own bitters at home," Tobin told me this summer. "It's a fun experiment." There is a single key to bitters: the bittering agent itself, most commonly angelica root or Read On »
