OCEANSIDE -- A suspect in an Oceanside carjacking remained behind bars Friday, authorities said.
Police arrested 19-year-old Antonio Zavala of Vista within minutes after the Thursday robbery. His bond was set at $120,000, pending a scheduled Monday court hearing.
The 21-year-old victim, an Oceanside resident, left his 1994 Chevrolet Blazer with the keys in it and the engine running in a Mission Avenue parking lot, police Sgt. Leonard Mata said.
"The victim saw the suspect get into his car," said Mata.
He said the owner jumped on the hood of his Blazer, rolling off as it was driven away. The victim reported the theft at 9:06 a.m. Thursday. Five minutes later an officer saw the Chevrolet on El Camino Real.
Police chased the Blazer into Carlsbad, where Zavala was arrested on suspicion of carjacking, felony evading an officer, and possession of a dagger and a stolen vehicle.

Thompson Boat Co Note
No longer in production.
(1997 - 1971)
A long-running pleasure boat builder in the United States, the story of Thompson Boat Company started in 1912. During the 1920s, Thompson Boat Company was a world leader in the production of outboard motorboats. Thompson Boat Company would also be a pioneer in adapting inboard/outboard motor technology in the late 1950s. By the time the marine manufacturer switched away from wood to entirely fiberglass boats by the 1970s, Thompson Boat Company eventually faded. Building vessels between 16 and 34 feet in later years, Thompson Boat Company would production in 1997.

Occupational Health and Safety
Adapted from content excerpted from Better Work, a partnership of IFC and the International Labour Organization
Improved occupational safety and health enhances productivity by reducing the number of interruptions in the manufacturing process, reducing absences, decreasing the number of accidents and improving work efficiency. Employers and workers both have responsibilities and rights in relation to occupational safety and health (OSH). A preventative approach to OSH is the best strategy to eliminate most workplace accidents, injuries, and diseases.
The following actions of the employer can lead to injuries, accidents and deseases:
- Failing to assess health and safety in the workplace, or to take steps to address risks.
- Not informing or training workers on OSH issues.
- Failing to put adequate mechanisms in place to ensure co-operation between workers and managers on OSH.
- Not recording and/or reporting work-related accidents, injuries and diseases.
- Failing to provide adequate personal protective equipment (PPE) and/or training on its use.
- Failing to keep an inventory, or to properly label or store chemicals or hazardous substances.
- Not installing or maintaining guards on dangerous machinery.
- Failing to ensure that the workplace meets standards for temperature, ventilation, noise and lighting.
- Not providing adequate first aid and/or health services.
- Failing to provide adequate toilets, hand-washing facilities or free drinking water.
- Providing worker accommodation that does not meet minimum standards.
- Failing to prepare adequately for emergencies.
Key action points for employers to avoid injuries, accidents and diseases:
- Encourage workers to discuss concerns about health and safety and make sure that there are avenues for them to do so. Check national law for requirements on worker consultation.
- Investigate and record accidents and injuries, and use the information to put measures in place to avoid similar occurrences. Report accidents and injuries as required by national law.
- Check national law for chemical safety requirements.
- Keep inventories of chemicals and chemical safety data sheets, and ensure that chemicals are correctly labelled and stored.
- Make sure that all workers receive the supervision, information and training they need to do their jobs safely, including in relation to PPE and hazardous substances.
- Ensure that workers are not punished if they remove themselves from work situations when they reasonably believe there is an imminent and serious threat to their health or life.
- Install guards on dangerous moving parts of machines.
- Ensure that electrical wires, switches and plugs are properly installed, grounded and maintained.
- Put measures in place to avoid heavy lifting, e.g., trolleys or carts to move heavy or bulky loads.
- Provide suitable chairs for sitting workers and provide standing workers shock absorbing mats to stand on and regular breaks to sit down.
- Where necessary, provide PPE, and train and encourage workers to use it correctly.
- Ensure that temperature, ventilation, noise and lighting are at acceptable levels.
- Provide health services and first aid that are appropriate for the workplace.
- Provide adequate facilities for workers (toilets, washing facilities, eating area, personal storage).
- Ensure that any accommodation provided meets all relevant requirements.
- Inform and prepare workers for possible emergencies in the workplace.
- Develop a written OSH policy to make sure that everyone is aware of their rights and responsibilities in relation to health and safety.
- Carry out regular OSH assessments as required by national law, and follow up on risks identified during the assessment.
The following points reflect important aspects of a safe working environment:

NeNe Leakes Might Get Her Own Spinoff, Because We Need More RHOA
Ugh. Is anyone else feeling overwhelmed by the omnipresence of The Real Housewives Of Atlanta lately? Not only is it on six months of the year, but it already has two spin-offs and now it might be adding one more. The first is Kandi Factory, which follows RHOA star Kandi Burruss as she tries to help shape music industry unknowns into billable performers, and the second is Don't Be Tardy… which follows former Housewife Kim Zolciak around as she tries on wigs and complains about her life. (I'm just assuming that's what happens on the show, since I haven't made time to watch it myself. One of our other writers did, though, so feel free to catch up on it here if you like K-named ginger-babies and whining. And who doesn't?) Anyway, even that was a lot to take, but now it turns out we'll be getting a whole new spin-off courtesy of our lady of catchphrases, Miss NeNe Leakes.
The show will follow NeNe as she gets re-married to her ex-husband Gregg Leakes, with the genius working title of I Dream Of NeNe: The Wedding. Oh boy. It will premiere this fall and is described thusly in a press release:
Fans have gotten up close and personal with the couple during The Real Housewives of Atlanta watching them through a happy marriage, a devastating divorce and a romantic reconnection. The stars have aligned and the Leakes are ready to tie the knot once again in an extravagant wedding fit for a larger-than-life personality like NeNe. […] Alongside NeNe is her bridal party, including Cynthia Bailey and Marlo Hampton, who will surely bring a fair share of drama and fabulousness to the classy affair. NeNe wants to start her second marriage to Gregg with a clean slate, including mending fences with Gregg's children and reuniting with her father figure Curtis. Will they be able to move forward and celebrate her big day? With A-listers from coast to coast, including Housewives galore and the Hollywood elite – will the invitees make the trek to the "Hollywood of the South" to witness her second chance at happily ever after?
Well? WILL THEY?!? As wearying as it is to imagine yet another hour-long chunk of my time being stolen by RHOA, NeNe totally is the best of the bunch, so I guess I'll probably have to find some time to tune in. But only to find another line as classic as, "Don't let the door hit you where the good lord split you." Genius.

Latham, N.Y. -- After announcing the realignment of corporate management earlier this month, DWM Facilities Maintenance announced its newly developed Service Enhancement Plan (SEP) to better serve the needs of its existing clients and drive long-term growth. In this strategic shift, DWM will expand the Client Lead role and add multiple account manager positions.
"We are proud to provide services 14% faster than our competition, but we know there is still room to improve service response times. The SEP reflects our dedication to providing the industry's best service to our clients," said Christian Dickinson, director of customer service.
In an effort to better serve clients, DWM has added eight new positions since November.
"As we continue to grow, it is important to stay true to the premise DWM was founded on — customers comes first. While our overall goal has not changed as we have grown over the years, it is always important to reevaluate how we are achieving that goal to ensure efficiency and customer satisfaction. The SEP will be an ongoing effort to drive the levels of satisfaction our customers expect," said Brian Whitt, COO.

FAA investigating Lake Gaston plane crash
Posted April 25, 2016
Updated April 26, 2016
Lake Gaston — Investigators with the Federal Aviation Administration were working Monday to determine what caused a small plane to crash on Lake Gaston.
Officials said the aircraft—a 2005 Maule 235 single engine-plane—was piloted by Paul Heaton, Jr. Authorities said Heaton regularly lands the aircraft on Lake Gaston without incident.
Heaton said there were several boats on the water, but very few where he attempted to land. Despite calm weather conditions, he said he somehow lost control and rolled three times.
Heaton and two passengers onboard were not hurt in the accident, officials said.
No additional information has been released.

AS Scotland's top team in the country's favourite sport comes to terms with having been knocked out of the Champions League not once but twice before the competition proper gets under way, an opportunity for healthy, introspective reflection presents itself.
This was designated to be a very special sporting year in this province that likes to think of itself as a country and, in terms of putting on a show, it already has been so, with the Ryder Cup still to come.
However, that more important opportunity now lies with Celtic and how the Champions League exit is addressed. I suggested as much, less than two years after the Glasgow Centre for Population Health produced a study entitled Still the Sick Man of Europe?
Loading article content
To paraphrase slightly, its authors effectively seemed to suggest that, as fast as health experts come up with solutions to specific conditions, so Scots become ever more creative in finding ways to kill themselves early.
What has this to do with Celtic's Champions League exit? In terms of direct cause and effect absolutely nothing, but, in terms of the cultural shift required, the club's unique position in Scottish society, allied to its history and geography, gives it the chance to become a standard bearer.
My own belief is that Scotland's physical problems are, like so many ills, irrevocably linked to psychological issues which, in this instance, are exacerbated by the cultural cringe that undermines the collective psyche in many ways.
In the field of sport, that has been a result of constantly looking to those from larger nations whose natives speak our language: in particular the United States, Australia, South Africa and England. On their arrival from their superior sporting cultures, they are frequently shocked by what they encounter and, understandably, set about trying to address the sporting symptoms by seeking to impose practices they have seen work elsewhere.
In the process, they can hardly help but convey contempt for what they encounter. That, in turn, reinforces the insecurity of our ain folk within the organisations, many of whom then undermine fellow Scots in order to curry favour.
The outcome is a collective unwillingness to trust in Scottish knowhow, a minor but personally memorable example of which was outlined in this column previously. The result was me having to persuade the governing body of a sport determined to recruit its head of performance from overseas, to consider a Scottish candidate who was running a shop at their national championships.
As bowls is one of the few sports that consider the Commonwealth Games to be their pinnacle, I note with some satisfaction that Scotland's men claimed three of the four available gold medals as David Gourlay, former shopkeeper, identified Scottish solutions to Scottish problems. This was manifest in the return of their top players to the squad, several having opted out four years earlier.
The fact that we cannot yet claim all our bowlers have meantime become exemplars of all that we should aspire to in terms of lifestyle may seem to contradict any argument for relating sporting success to improving our health problems, but the two must be worked on simultaneously.
Scotland must build belief in itself and its citizens if it is to deal with its health issues which, disguised as it was by the specific targeting of medals at the Commonwealth Games, most obviously manifests itself in our dreadful sporting culture. To that end, Celtic's dominance of the domestic football scene presents a club, which has a heritage based on addressing social issues, with that aforementioned opportunity. It has hired a relatively unknown manager - not a Scot admittedly but from a country of similar size, climate and resources - who seems to be looking to change attitudes within the club.
Many will see the Champions League failures as being down to under-investment and will demand a change in approach. However, in domestic terms at least, Celtic have both the time and clout to be patient - in a way Rangers were unable to be under Paul Le Guen eight years ago - and allow Ronny Deila the time to bring about the cultural change within the club that, publicly at least, has so far has focused on his concerns about diet.
In a corner of the world that prides itself on its egalitarianism and sense of fairness, then, there is a chance to address matters such as football's ridiculous wage structure which in turn affects gate prices, thereby inviting many working-class families to make disturbing choices about spending priorities.
In seeking Scottish solutions to Scottish problems, Celtic's directors and executives can now, should they have the resolve, reject short-termism and pursue longer-term solutions by investing in development of sensibly remunerated homegrown talent, thereby leading fundamental sporting cultural change.
That the club's home ground also sits beside the Emirates Arena, with its velodrome, and close to Tollcross, is another happy accident of geography that should be seized upon by involving Celtic more directly with the wider sporting community in Glasgow's east end.
Founded to help feed the poor and sitting as it still does in an area associated with social deprivation, Celtic can conceivably help show the nation how to feed itself properly, physically and psychologically.
Or they could just sack the manager and spend kazillions on a couple of strikers . . .
And Another Thing . . .
Rugby union's Guinness Pro12 is finally to receive overdue coverage from pan-British television channels. The forelock-tugging response of organisers of this Irish/Scottish/Welsh/Italian competition? To stage the season's official launch this week in London, just as that of the Six Nations - that's right: Six Nations - Championship is every year. Oh dear, oh dear . . .

It's simple, and free.
However, since the company has already pursued this course, it may want to downplay this approach since additional resources dedicated to this unlikely outcome may be better spent on alternatives which have better probabilities of success. Nonetheless, the company should be fully prepared at the adjudication hearing to present its history of pollution abatement policies and offer solid evidence of the company's dedication to reducing pollution in its operations.
Armco can try to have the EPA modify its position on acceptable emissions from 60 micrograms to 75 micrograms. As with the previous alternative, the company must have strong research to support its position that the 60 micrograms is an unreasonable expectation. By presenting evidence showing that the company is willing to work with the EPA to reduce emissions, but also demonstrating that the company seeks a realistic goal in this regard, Armco can help maintain its stance as an aggressive company when it comes to pollution.
Armco could choose to build a new plant which would meet the 75 microgram goal, use state of the art technology, and which might be available by the EPA's deadline. Such a move would require substantial investment by the company, but it might be able to work with the community to obtain tax relief since this alternative would keep jobs in the area and would help maintain the local economy. This strategy also has long-term appeal in that it would upgrade Armco's facilities from the 1920s to the 1970s and would make the company more competitive in the international market.
Armco can also tie the variance request up in the courts for several years, and possibly gain the time extension it needs in order to make modifications to the plant in question. This alternative has several disadvantages associated with it, the first being the public relations nightmare that it would entail, and the possibly feeling of betrayal that would be passed to its emplo...

Urinary Disorders
Blood in Urine, CT Scan OK
I have had blood in my urine--from trace to moderate--for the past four months. I am a healthy 55 yr old female otherwise. I take levoxyl 88 mcg/day. I`ve never had a urinary tract infection. I`ve never smoked or drank alcohol or did any drugs. Recent CT scan by the urologist reveals absolutely nothing. Now they want to do a cysto. Is blood in the urine always an indication of something?
Red blood cells are cleared from kidney and return back to circulation. Presence of red blood cells indicate a bleeding source or problem with filtration system of the kidneys. Therefore, cystoscopy is to look at any bleeding source from the bladder. Negative cystoscopy is expected and the next step would be surveillance. One has to also be aware of other proteins in urine which resemble hemoglobin but they could be waste product of muscle which may turn dip stick positive for blood. Lastly, minute vaginal bleeding may contaminate the urine. All of the above should be looked at.

Homework Questions? Ask a Tutor for Answers ASAP
While there is not a known physical limit to human memory (e.g., as with a computer), there are limitation to memory. There are three levels of memory short-term, long-term, and sensory memory. Short-term memories may be lost if they are not incorporated into long-term memory because the information is not fully understood or given much attention in the first place. This is referred to as encoding failure and the information is forgotten.
Long-term memory has the longest duration and the greatest capacity, but long-term memories can be lost if they remain dormant for extended lengths of time. Also, new information that is stored into long-term memory can interfere with previously stored information in a process called distractive interference. Sensory memories have the shortest duration. It is the ability to retain impressions of sensory information for a few seconds after the original stimulus has ceased.
So, although theoretically there is no know, measurable limit to how much information can be stored in the human mind, there are limitation as far as forgetting and recalling information.
Hope this helps!

Just had the chance to try some Organic Milk by Borden and it was GREAT! I admit, I was skeered to try organic milk but I thought it tasted great and the kids thought it was much better than regular milk. Absolutely loved the bottle as well. It took up less room and was very easy to hold….great for little kiddos.
In honor of happy taste buds, I'm sharing this fabulous smoothie recipe! Enjoy;)
- 2 ½ cups blueberries, frozen
- 1 cup chilled apple juice
- 1 container Borden Cherry Vanilla non fat yogurt
- ½ cup Borden Organic 1% Low Fat Milk (Borden Organic Whole, 2% Reduced Fat or Fat Free Milk may be substituted)
- ½ teaspoon almond extract
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Garnish: fresh blueberries, assorted seasonal fruits, granola
Let's get shaking!
1. Place all ingredients in a blender, secure top, and blend.
2. Serve immediately with your choice of garnish.
Kid-friendly Kitchen Tips:
1. For really cool sipping, place serving glasses in the freezer up to 8 hours before using. When ready to serve, remove glasses from freezer and fill with milkshake.
2. Change the recipe by substituting frozen raspberries or peaches for blueberries and changing the flavor of yogurt flavor to Borden Strawberry Banana or Raspberry Non Fat Yogurts. Very cool!

I have been buying Girl Scout cookies every year for as long as my stomach can remember. Nothing beats the real thing, but what happens once I've run out of cookies? Or what about if I have a sudden craving during the summer when Girl Scout cookies are no longer available? I can't just wait around until the next cookie season. I'm not patient like that.
Next best thing, homemade thin mints. (Last year, I made samoa cookies. Be sure to check that out!)
It's too bad I wasn't interested in joining Girl Scouts as a child. Looking back, I think it would have been fun and a great experience. I was too much of an indoor plant (and still sort of am). I prefer indoor activities like painting, dancing or cooking.
Unlike my samoa cookies, these thin mints are very simple to make. The cookie dough is easy to work with and can also be used to make homemade oreos! (More on that in a separate post).
Instead of butter or shortening, I used coconut oil to make these cookies. Coconut oil seems to be becoming quite popular. Its a great vegan alternative for cookies and other baked goods that use butter. Coconut oil once had a bad reputation for having too much saturated fats. Most of the time, they were referring to partially hydrogenated coconut oil. No need to go into that discussion. I say, coconut oil is a baker's friend.
Be sure to use refined coconut oil. Unrefined coconut oil will change the taste of your product. Its better for actual coconut based dishes. Both coconut oils can be easily found at markets such as Trader Joe's, Whole Foods, or Sprouts. I've even seen it at Ralphs and Vons. There are lots of different brands out there, but Spectrum is my favorite. I also think they make the best shortening.
Peppermint oil is another key ingredient for these amazing thin mints. Peppermint oil is used to flavor the dipping chocolate. Be sure to use food grade peppermint oil. Stay away from peppermint extract! Extract will cause the melted chocolate to seize up. Peppermint oil is pure oil, meaning no water. Unlike peppermint extract which is a combination of alcohol and water. I bought my peppermint oil from King Arthur's Flour.
I really wish I didn't finish my last box of Thin Mints. I would have loved to have done a side by side taste test. Oh well, I guess I'll have to wait until next year!
Homemade Thin Mints
Yield: makes about 50 cookies
- 1 1/2 cup all purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened dark cocoa powder
- 3/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup refined coconut oil
- 2 Tbsp whole milk
- 1 egg, large
- 2 tsp vanilla paste
- 1 pound dark chocolate, chopped
- 1/8-1/4 tsp peppermint oil, depending on your taste
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer with a paddle attachment, beat together sugar and coconut oil on medium-high speed. Beat until mixture if fluffy. Reduce speed to low and add milk, egg, and vanilla paste.
- With the mixer still on low, slowly add the prepared flour mixture. Mix until just combined. Divide dough into two equal parts. Flatten the two halves and wrap tightly in plastic wrap. Chill in the refrigerator for 30-45 minutes until dough is cold and firm.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
- Work with one dough at at time. On a lightly floured work surface, roll dough to 1/4". Using a 1 3/4" round cutter, punch out cookies. Transfer to prepared baking sheet. Space cookies about 1/2" apart from each other. Bake in preheat oven for 15 minutes, rotating sheets halfway through baking. Let cookies cool in the pan for a couple minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Chocolate Coating:
- Line baking sheet with parchment paper. Place clean wire rack on top. Set aside.
- Melt together chocolate and peppermint oil in a medium metal or glass bowl over a small pot filled with an inch of barely simmering water. Stir chocolate until melted. Slowly melt the chocolate, by moving the bowl on and off the heat every 30 seconds or so to prevent overheating.
- Once chocolate is melted, remove bowl from heat and set over a folded kitchen towel. Do not set bowl on marble or other kitchen surface that will cool down the bowl. Working with one cookie at a time, drop cookie into melted chocolate. Using a fork to scoop cookie from the bottom. Tap fork on the edge of the bowl to let any excess chocolate drip from the cookie. Transfer cookies to prepared wire rack to let chocolate harden. If desired, make swirl marks on top of chocolate. Otherwise leave alone and your cookies will be smooth on top.
*If chocolate is taking longer than 10-15 minutes to harden, place cookies in the fridge. However, if you end up doing this, you will have to store your cookies in the fridge. Otherwise they will melt at room temperature.

False Prophets
"For false Christs and false prophets will arise and show great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, even the elect." (Matthew 24:24).
Jesus repeatedly warns his disciples about the seductive power of false prophets. These are charismatic figures who look good and seem to say the right things, but are dangerous to the spiritual, mental and even physical health of their followers. This isn't just about religion. Destructive cults form around people espousing all kinds of ideologies, but religion is a favorite target. And Orthodoxy must be especially on guard for false prophets because we put such a high value on hierarchy, clergy, obedience, spiritual fathers, monks, nuns, elders—all of which are open to abuse.
To make this process of discernment more practical today, what are some of the warning signs of a potentially unsafe group or leader? (This comes from the Ross Institute, which studies such groups and maintains an archive of destructive groups.)
- Absolute authoritarianism without meaningful accountability.
- No tolerance of questions or critical inquiry.
- No meaningful financial disclosure regarding budget, expenses such as an independently audited financial statement.
- Unreasonable fear about the outside world, such as impending catastrophe, evil conspiracies and persecutions.
- There is no legitimate reason to leave, former followers are always wrong in leaving, negative or even evil.
- Former members often relate the same stories of abuse and reflect similar patterns of grievances.
- There are records, books, news articles, or television programs that document the abuses of the group/leader.
- Followers feel they can never be "good enough."
- The group leader is always right.
- The group leader is the exclusive means of knowing "truth" or receiving validation, no other process of discovery is really acceptable or credible.
Contrast this with the respectful approach that St Paul takes in Corinth. He humbly sees his ministry as a privilege, a gift, a mercy from God—not a right to power. The refuses to manipulate people or teachings, but instead openly sets out what he understands to be the message, and leaves it to the conscience of others to weigh and evaluate what he says. "We have renounced disgraceful and underhanded ways; we refuse to practice cunning or to tamper with God's word, but by the open statement of the truth we would commend ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God" (2 Cor 4:2).
At the Chancery
The OCA's internal auditors have a full day of work ahead of them today. Michael Strelka (chair), Vera Bozko-Summer and Karen Durkish were appointed by the Metropolitan Council and will be reviewing policies and procedures with the Treasurer, Melanie Ringa.
And for something completely different, Bishop Michael of New York, the OCA's temporary Administrator, will be in his diocese today with his youth, for the annual Diocesan Youth Day. There will be prayers and a talk, but the centerpiece will be the outing to the Six Flags Great Adventure—with roller coasters and and water slides.

Meg Wolitzer
Sharp witty tale about the sexual politics of a marriage from New York Times bestseller and author of the acclaimed The Interestings
Meg Wolitzer is the author of several acclaimed novels, most recently The Uncoupling ('tingles with playfulness and wicked observation' Independent) and The Wife ('has you howling with recognition' Allison Pearson), The Position ('one of the best and most human books I've read all year' Erica Wagner) and The Ten-Year Nap ('as incisive and pitiless and clear-eyed a chronicler of female-male tandems as Philip Roth or John Updike' Chicago Tribune). She is married with two sons and lives in New York City.
Wolitzer (Sleepwalking) opens her latest tale in the first-class cabin of an airplane. Joan, a still-striking 64-year-old woman, observes her husband, the "short, wound-up, slack-bellied" famous novelist Joe Castleman, as he lolls in his seat and accepts the treats and attention offered him by the flight attendants. The couple are on their way to Finland, where Joe will receive the fictional Helsinki Prize, not quite as prestigious as the Nobel, but worth a small fortune-the crown jewel in a spectacular career. Yet as the once blonde Smith College co-ed looks over at the once handsome creative writing teacher who seduced her, she realizes that she must end this marriage. The reader is prepared for a tale of witty disillusionment. Here is Joan on the literary fame game: "You might even envy us-him for all the power vacuum-packed within his bulky, shopworn body, and me for my twenty-four-hour-access to it, as though a famous and brilliant writer-husband is a convenience store for his wife, a place she can dip into anytime for a Big Gulp of astonishing intellect and wit and excitement." As the narrative flows from the glamorous present back to the past, tracing the bohemian Greenwich Village beginnings of the couple's relationship and Joe's skyrocketing success and compulsive philandering, an almost subliminal psychological horror tale begins to unfold. Wolitzer delicately chips away at this seemingly confident and detached narrator and her swaggering "genius" husband, inserting a sly clue here and there, until the extent of Joan's sacrifice is made clear. There is no cheap, gratifying Hollywood ending to make it all better. Instead, Wolitzer's crisp pacing and dry wit carry us headlong into a devastating message about the price of love and fame. If it's a story we've heard before, the tale is as resonant as ever in Wolitzer's hands. (Apr.) Copyright 2003 Cahners Business Information.
"Meg Wolitzer is so funny and clever she should be bottled and sold as tonic" * Allison Pearson * "A triumph of tone and observation, The Wife is a blithe, brilliant take on sexual politics" * Lorrie Moore * "Hilarious and touching" * Erica Wagner, The Times * "With a great lightness of touch, Wolitzer's novel satirises American literary circles of the Seventies and Eighties and traces the generation of wives who poured their own creative energies into "stoking the fires" of their husbands' reputations." * Emma Hagestadt, Independent *
Joan Castelman is en route to Finland to watch her husband, renowned author Joe Castleman, win the Helsinki Prize when she decides to leave him. What follows is Joan's fascinating recollection of their marriage, his career, and her fading dreams. Telling her story in alternating segments, she starts in the 1950s with the beginning of the couple's professor-student relationship and continues through to the present, their 40 years of marriage stacking up the unspoken regrets that lead to Helsinki. This is Wolitzer's sixth novel (following Surrender, Dorothy ), and she's as sharp as ever. Her funny yet harshly bitter book features amazingly crafted prose, and the story of what Joan sacrifices to support her husband and his illustrious career is just as astounding. Complete with a staggering twist ending, this is not one to miss. For most fiction collections.-Beth Gibbs, Davidson, NC Copyright 2003 Reed Business Information.

To read School District rules on converting to a year-round schedule, download this .pdf.
Linda Rankin Givens Elementary School will probably switch from a nine-month to a year-round schedule next year in order to avoid big changes in its attendance zone.
It is one of 74 schools on a watch list of Clark County public schools that are being considered for a change in schedule. Most of the schools probably will not change, Sharon Dattoli, director of demographics and zoning, said. They are on the list because they are over capacity or are having their attendance zone adjusted, she said.
It is part of a new system to inform parents of potential changes in elementary school calendars in January. Changes in the calendars are not finalized until mid-March.
Nearby schools also on the list include Bonner, Roger Bryan, Christensen, Eisenberg, Goolsby, Kahre, Ober, Piggott and Tarr elementary schools.
Since its opening in 2004, Givens has been a nine-month school. The school, which is designed to hold 773 students, is nearing 1,000 students, Principal Rick Slater said. A year-round schedule would allow it to accommodate 952 students without mass rezoning.
Givens was scheduled to be considered for rezoning this year. Though a final recommendation has not been approved, Givens was taken out of consideration early, because the school's administration and parents were willing to switch to a year-round calendar.
Two communities were under consideration to be moved out of the school, each of about 250 students. A meeting was held at the school, and parents and administrators agreed that one community leaving may alleviate the crowding some, but the school still might have had to switch to a year-round calendar.
Parents at a zoning committee meeting in November said they thought it would be a reasonable compromise to switch to a year-round schedule to avoid busing either group of students to another school. It was a decision Slater backed.
"These are our PTA parents, our supportive groups, everything that's so positive that you need in our schools," Slater said. "If I had my druthers, I would opt to go year-round (to keep everyone here)."
Land for a new school is set aside nearby, but it will not be built until 2012 at the earliest, Slater said.
He was confident switching the school to year-round would provide the campus with enough relief to keep it from future zoning consideration until the new campus opens, he said. There are currently 10 portable classrooms on the campus, and Slater expects they will stay even if the campus converts to year-round, he said.

I recently edited I Remember: Chicago Veterans of War, which weaves together the memories of fifty veterans of World War II, Korea, Vietnam, Bosnia, Iraq, and Afghanistan. Throughout the book, each veteran speaks in a series of "I remember" statements labeled by a number, not a name. This anonymous structure foregrounds the similarities of all wars. The effect is of one veteran speaking of the shock and scale of every modern war. The book was published by Big Shoulders Books, DePaul University's new press–its mission is to feature Chicago communities that might not otherwise have a voice. The press gives their books away for free. I Remember will be available soon from Big Shoulders Books.
Résumé, my recent book of poetry, is available from Mayapple Press. These poems see life as a series of jobs: pimp's assistant, lost pet psychic, petting tent attendant, target changer, aviary security, etc. Any job is both unspeakably ordinary and mercilessly strange—stock broker or pimp's assistant, the same. And here, slipped between pages of work, you find a series of "Jobless" poems—a recurring state of being. Also in the book, poems about the jobs of vital relatives—in my family, mangy is not a bad word—all of us with perfectly strong legs, all chasers with nowhere to run. In the end, the work of poetry becomes a refuge in Résumé—a stillness at the end of the day.
I've previously published two books of poems: The Sky Over Walgreens (2007) and Epiphany School (2009). My poems have appeared in such publications as Poetry, New York Times, Verse, Nimrod,and Black Clock.I've edited four anthologies, including A Writers' Congress: Chicago Poets on Barack Obama's Inauguration, Brute Neighbors: Urban Nature Poetry, Prose & Photography, and the forthcoming I Remember: A Poem by Chicago Veterans of War (Big Shoulders Books, 2015). I teach in the English Department at DePaul University.
I also recently founded www.litcity312.com. LitCity is a celebration of independent literature in Chicago and is the most comprehensive literary site in the city. It features reviews of book sellers, a literary events calendar and reviews of ongoing reading and performance series, reviews of new books by Chicago presses, interviews with Chicago authors, a literary magazine called LitCity LitMag that features creative writing by Chicago-area university students, and a forthcoming digital anthology that I co-edited called Independent Voices: A Small Press Sampler—the anthology features interviews with over one hundred independent presses and magazines from around the country about issues critical to contemporary publishing. The anthology will be posted on the site this summer, 2014.

KABUL — The number of civilians killed or wounded in the Afghan war increased by 20 percent during the first 10 months of this year, compared with the same period last year, according to a U.N. report issued this week.
The top U.N. envoy to Afghanistan, Staffan de Mistura, said as the world body released its latest quarterly report that insurgents are likely to stage high-profile attacks in the months ahead.
"Before it gets better, it may get worse," he said.
The report concluded that the number of civilian casualties attributable to insurgents increased by 25 percent during the 10-month period. It said insurgent groups were responsible for killing or injuring 4,738 civilians during that period, while 742 were killed or wounded by Afghan and international troops — an 18 percent drop.
In a statement Thursday on its website, the Taliban called the civilian casualty figures in the report "a propaganda stunt aimed at concealing American brutalities."
U.S. airstrikes, long controversial in Afghanistan because of the high incidence of civilian casualties associated with them, were the leading cause of civilian deaths by NATO forces, the report said. At least 162 civilians were killed in airstrikes and 120 were wounded during the 10-month period.
On Thursday, NATO said it was investigating reports that one of its units had mistakenly killed two Afghans in northwestern Faryab province.
The grim statistics come as U.S. military officials are claiming some success in their effort to halt the Taliban's momentum as the war enters its 10th year.
De Mistura said insurgent groups are likely to try to undermine NATO's sense of traction by staging spectacular attacks in the near future.
"We should be ready, I'm afraid, for the next few months, for some tense security environment," he said.
