An internal memo obtained by the Channel 4 I-Team from Tennessee Department of Correction Commissioner Derrick Schofield states he ordered an 80-member special operations unit to sweep Riverbend Maximum Security Prison for contraband Monday.
The memo also states that the special operations team will now be stationed at all the entry points of the prison, including the sally port and checkpoint.
The Department of Correction is also planning to install advanced imaging technology at Riverbend, according to the memo. It does not elaborate, however, if that technology will be similar to screenings that currently exist in airports.
The memo comes in the wake of the latest Channel 4 I-Team "party behind bars" investigation that revealed how an inmate was using guards to get cell phones inside the most secure prison in the state.
Our investigation showed how we were able to have multiple conversations with inmate David Faulkner through a contraband cell phone and received pictures and texts exposing what was happening inside Riverbend.
Our investigation ultimately led to a TBI sting on former Riverbend Correctional Officer Kevin Simmons, who is now charged with official misconduct after the Channel 4 I-Team obtained a recorded call of him instructing how to get a phone inside the prison.
In those conversations between Simmons and Faulkner's fiancee, Sandy Jordan, Simmons can be heard discussing how he warns Faulkner when a cell phone sweep is coming.
"You [Faulkner] need to find yourself a hiding spot, because you know they're [prison strike teams] going to come in, and they're going to check you," Simmons said. "I try to give him [Faulkner] heads up as much as I can."
Faulkner also told the Channel 4 I-Team how he works with other inmates to hide cell phones during the sweeps.
"You wrap your phone up in your laundry bag, and you give it to that inmate. He'll get it out there and hide it, and when the strike force leaves, you get your phone back," Faulkner said.
A spokeswoman for the Department of Correction said the commissioner was at a conference and unavailable for an interview Tuesday.

Bridgeport Hospital is committed to participating in and supporting initiatives to improve Bridgeport neighborhoods. In 2012, the Hospital provided over $100,000 in financial and in-kind donations to support efforts in the areas of revitalizing neighborhoods and creating educational opportunities.
Neighborhood Revitalization Zones – Several years ago, the City of Bridgeport organized Neighborhood Revitalization Zones (NRZ) in order to expand and improve business and housing in low-to-moderate income neighborhoods or areas within neighborhoods. The NRZs received technical assistance from the City and outside consultants, and engage neighborhood residents, non-profits, and faith-based organizations to meet and form stakeholder groups. These groups identify the priorities and needs of the neighborhoods and are eligible to borrow state money to purchase blighted properties or offer low-interest loans to qualifying businesses for facade improvements. Hospital leadership has been actively engaged in the NRZ process from the onset with representatives serving on committees organized in the City's East End and East Side, which are both located near the hospital.
During 2012, Bridgeport Hospital worked closely with the City of Bridgeport to develop and implement an NRZ in the Mill Hill neighborhood, which directly surrounds the hospital. In order to be recognized as an NRZ, the group must receive approval from the City Council and develop a Revitalization or Strategic Plan for the neighborhood. The process for the Mill Hill area to become an NRZ was initiated through a Neighborhood Workshop held on June 30, 2012.
Bridgeport Hospital Community Partnership – Six years ago, prior to the City's effort to develop an NRZ in Mill Hill, the Hospital created what is now called the Bridgeport Hospital Community Partnership. This unique program was developed to implement measurable and sustainable quality-of-life enhancements in the neighborhoods directly surrounding the Hospital. Over 900 neighborhood residents receive invitations to attend the Hospital-sponsored meetings. The residents identified issues or concerns they had related to their neighborhood, and the Hospital worked with its network of local government and community organizations to address these issues. In 2012, expert speakers at Community Partnership meetings provided information about successful aging, economic development initiatives in the neighborhood such as plans for the former GE complex on Boston Avenue and the proposed Grant Street Plaza to improve safety.
East End Community Council – The Hospital also provided operational support to the East End Community Council, a group of community residents, business, civic, religious leaders and community police officers. The East End Community Council works collaboratively to enhance the quality of life in the neighborhood through various initiatives including safe streets, food pantries, annual toy drives and a little league team.
Seaview Avenue Business Alliance – Bridgeport Hospital, along with other area businesses, is a founding member of the Seaview Avenue Business Alliance. The Seaview Avenue Business Alliance is a non-profit organization dedicated to improving streetscapes and improving the area along the Seaview Avenue corridor. The organization also provides annual scholarships to students graduating from Harding High School who plan to attend college. In 2012, the Hospital provided financial and in-kind support for these efforts.
Student Mentoring and Support – Reflecting its strong commitment to the Bridgeport community and support of education, Bridgeport Hospital continued mentoring and career exploration opportunities during the year.

Executive functioning is a group of skills that are responsible for guiding, directing, and managing cognitive, emotional, and behavioral functioning. Research in the last few years has placed emphasis on executive functioning as a crucial part of a child's functioning in school. Not only is higher intelligence (strong skills in problem solving, reasoning, using language, thinking abstractly, and acquiring new skills and information) a part of a child's recipe for success, being able to apply those mental resources in an organized and efficient way (executive functioning) has been found to be critical to academic success as well. There are as many as 11 distinct executive functioning abilities which develop sequentially.They are:
1. Response Inhibition is the suppression of one's behavior over another in order to meet a goal. Sometimes this is also referred to as impulse control.
2. Working memory refers to the ability to temporarily hold information in the memory while in the process of performing some other complex activity.
3. Self regulation of affect is the ability to control feelings effectively in order to manage behavior and meet goals.
4. Sustained attention involves maintaining focus and attention on task despite distractions.
5. Task initiation is the ability to initiate a task without procrastination.
6. Planning involves developing a set of strategies for accomplishing a goal and prioritizing these strategies according to the task demands.
7. Organization is the capacity to systematically arrange all aspects of an activity to meet a goal.
8. Time management involves responding to tasks in a timely fashion, estimating the time needed to complete them, and using a schedule to meet goals.
9. Goal directed persistence refers to the ability to set a reachable goal and show ongoing effort and attention to meet the goal.
10. Flexibility is being adaptable to the demands of the situation by disengaging or activating information or strategies as needed.
11. Metacognition is the process of observing and assessing one's actions in order to determine their effectiveness.
In addition to their academic applications, you may have noticed that these types of skills are important in many aspects of life, such as generally getting along with others as well as in establishing and maintaining long-term relationships. Because of this, some studies have suggested a link between executive functioning and social competence.
Students lacking executive functioning skills are likely to experience significant difficulties. These deficits have been observed in children with a broad range of disorders and problems such as ADHD, autism spectrum disorders, schizophrenia, traumatic brain injury, epilepsy, aggression, anxiety disorders, mood disorders, Tourette's disorder, learning disabilities, sleep problems, and other medical conditions. This is not to say that if your child struggles with executive functioning skills that they necessary have one of these conditions!
As you read through this list, you may have found things you personally exhibit a strength or weakness in, and that is totally normal. You may have made a mental checklist of your child's abilities in these areas as well. We all have certain cognitive functions that are better developed than others and hopefully, as adults, we have found ways to compensate for our weaknesses and have likely chosen a life path and career that utilizes our strengths. For a child, this can be much more difficult as the maturity and ability to reflect on one's own abilities is limited and makes it difficult to work through some of these challenges. There are compensatory strategies to offer as well as ways to increase these skills.
Now that you know what these skills are called and why they are important, you will be better able to get your child support for areas where there may be deficits. If you have significant concerns, certainly talk to your child's teacher and possibly use your local school psychologist as a resource. As with most struggles, the earlier you can obtain intervention, the better!

hello ladies,
Sara will be two in a month, and I just KNOW that her language skills are seriously lacking. I myself was a late bloomer in the language department, as was my husbands sister, so I guess there might be some genetics at play.
But one thing I noticed, and I am wondering if it is normal, is that it seems that Sara has stopped using certain words. For example, she used to point to pictures of herself and say "Sa" now it's just "da" her generic term for EVERYTHING.
Anyone else out there experience backsliding on the language front? I try not to worry about it too much, after all, no one has ever graduated from high school not talking :) but I don't want her to be seriously behind either.

UConn junior Enosch Wolf has been suspended indefinitely following his arrest after an on-campus domestic dispute early Monday morning.
Wolf, a reserve center, was charged with third-degree burglary , first-degree criminal trespass and disorderly conduct. He's scheduled to appear in court on Wednesday.
The incident took place in the LaFlesche building at the Hilltop Apartments.
Wolf was involved in a physical altercation with a female resident, according to the university police report, and he refused to leave the apartment when asked. He grabbed the hair of the victim, pushed her head and knocked off her glasses with his hand, police said.
Wolf, a 22-year-old from Goettingen, Germany, was arrested at 5:55 a.m.
The length of the Wolf's suspension will be determined pending the completion of the legal process and a university review process, according to UConn.
"We are aware of the situation concerning Enosch and we are taking the matter very seriously," coach Kevin Ollie said in a released statement. "He has been suspended from the team indefinitely, until the legal and university process is finalized.
"I have spoken to the players on the team previously, and will continue to speak with them, about their conduct both on and off the basketball court. We have high expectations of our student-athletes at UConn, and I expect my players to live up to those standards."
UConn returned to campus Sunday after beating Seton Hall, 78-67, at the Prudential Center in Newark, N.J.
Wolf is averaging 3.4 points and 3.4 rebounds while appearing in all 22 games.
The loss of Wolf hurts the depth of UConn's already thin frontcourt. UConn hosts No. 6 Syracuse on Wednesday at the XL Center in Hartford.
The Daily Campus, UConn's student newspaper, first reported the story.

Jennifer Cosmo is SO adorable!
Jennifer Cosmo is SO adorable!
Things are a little crazy, but I'm loving every minute of it My Blog
You all are on a roll today!
Bridget, I'm still stuck on the fact that you got a nap. I want to go there (said in my best Liz Lemon voice).
(Molly, . I just realized I came and visited you a year ago today. Good times!)
I just realized you might all be saying WTH is a Liz Lemon voice?, so I dug up an exemplar:
Bridget, your DBF is SO funny. He really thought he could get away with that?
Jennifer, Pan is a Great Dane (not particularly well bred) and Khan is a German Shepherd/Malamute mix (we think).
Oh, no, Kate. Are you able to still write to us on your phone or something?
I want to share fur baby pics too...
The one on the left is our big boy, Cayo (who was crazy when we first got him, but is the sweetest most mellow dog you could want today). And on the right is a photo of Lulu as a puppy, taken from the pet rescue's website before we even met her. So this pic is the first way we ever laid eyes on her. She was a puppy then, so you can imagine she's much bigger now:
And then our 3rd child came along.
Suja, my first (self-bought) car was a 2000 Xterra. It was forest green and I called "him" Norbert, after the baby dragon in Harry Potter. I loved that car, but had a mid-life crisis at 28 and traded it for a small silver convertible, which I later traded in for a Volvo convertible. Then after having a baby and realizing the Volvo was no family car , I now find myself driving a hand-me-down beater that I got from my parents that's even older than Norbert. Funny how that happens, isn't it?
Am I the only one who names cars? In addition to Norbert, I had ...
The Batmobile - a puke-brown 80's Malibu station wagon that I inherited from my sister who'd inherited from mom and dad, and she'd placed a Batman sticker on it
The Sour Queen - a white hatchback car that kept stalling
Issy - short for "ineffectual suckup". She was an Eclipse who looked very sexy on the outside, but was very uncomfortable on the inside. Plus, she was so well-sealed, your ears would pop when you slammed the doors shut.
Then Norbert.
Then the little convertible, an MR2 Spyder, which had two names, because obviously a convertible has 2 identities, kind of like Superman: He was Squirtle when the top was up (because he looked like a turtle that way and Squirtle was the name of a turtle Pokemon), and Mister Two (MR2, get it?) which was the car's superhero identity when it "converted"
The Volvo convertible was MaggieMillyMollyMay, after my favorite e.e. cummings poem.
And now my beater 4Runner, which has given me the least amount of problems of any car I've owned. To reward it for its loyalty, I have spared its dignity by not giving it a name.
When I commuted by car on the LA freeways, there was a time I combatted boredom by coming up with names for cars I'd see on the road on a regular basis. Let's see: there was Emile the Amigo, (Ford) Ranger Dave, "Aha!" the Land Rover Discovery, Connie Celica (remember Connie Seleca?), the Ford Gay Male Escort, and of course, the very honest Abe Lincoln Towncar. I think I may have had a little too much time to kill right around then.
Funny, I didn't give the Volvo convertible two names. LOL.
Suja, speaking of batmobiles and great danes, did you know the Batman actor, Burt Ward, now runs a great dane rescue?
Random factoid for ya.
Cute dogs, Myles. The biped too. I have a soft spot for brindle dogs.
I have a friend who names cars. She had a Festiva named Moonpie of Delight. BTW, my Xterra is a 2000. I don't believe in buying cars unless I have to, so she will be driven until she no longer works.
Suja, those are BIG dogs!
So I found out that the mini-goldendoodles are 1500. Yikes! But they do come with most shots done as well as spay/neutering.....so that helps out some.
We name stuff too. My car is Rusty and is a boy. He's orange. The PT Cruiser is just Cruiser and she's a girl.
Our trees we have planted....so far there is Bruce the Colorado Blue Spuce, Franklin the Northern Pin Oak, a smoke bush his mom bought us and she likes to smoke so that one is Smoky, a mini pine forgot what kind but his name is Sniff-it because everytime cosmo goes out there, she has to sniff it.
Most of the house plants have names too as well as a few other things in the house like the TV and cooler. Cooler you ask? Well DH was bugging me about the name Ezekiel. I hate it for a kid and I think that made him love it more. So I named the cooler Ezekiel and now there is now way he could try to use it for a kid.
I have my desktop but it's in the office, not where Josh usually plays, and I have an ipod touch that's a pain to type on. I'm sure I'll manage though ;) It's probably something stupid anyway, but it looks like everything's plugged in...
I named my first car Scorpio, I think, after the sign we were in when I bought it. But I didn't name my current car.
The pound is heartbreaking. You want to take every single one home.
My DH would steal Khan from you if he could. Those are two of his fave breeds. What a beauty.
Bouviers are too much dog for me. There are not a lot in rescue, and I wouldn't be averse to a retired show dog, as long as the breeder is responsible, and not unreasonable on the fees. $900 does seem like a lot.
Khan is just an amazing dog. Not the sharpest crayon in the box, but a very good dog. I went to volunteer for Shepherd rescue, and ended up putting in an app on him. I've been looking for another like him in the 10+ years I've been with the rescue, and no luck.
Oh I love all these pictures of your dogs!! My 15 year old Dachshund died last year. It's the first time in my life I've been without a pet, I have always had a dog and/or cat. But we are waiting until G is older, and we have a fenced yard. I want another Dachshund, I grew up with Dachshunds, love them. And we want a big dog, lab probably. Although I like labradoodles, love the no shedding aspect, a lot. My dh also really likes Rhodesian Ridgebacks, they are beautiful gentle dogs. I've looked into Ridgeback Rescues, so we will see.
Shelley-mom to DS, 6
A friend of mine has two Bouviers, they are great dogs. One year for Halloween she dressed up as Cruella DeVille. She has curly blonde hair that she teased up, spray paints spots on the dogs, wore a perfect Cruella coat, she even had a fancy cigarette holder. It was the best costume!!
Shelley-mom to DS, 6
Shelley, 15 is a good age for a Dachshund. I am sure she had a great life with you.
I don't like paying money to breeders for purposebred mutts - there really is no consistency in size, shape, temperament, etc. and I'm yet to see one that does any genetic health screens. I've seen a lot of Lab/Poodle mixes, and they've been all over the map, and generally not in a good way. Mixing shedding breeds with non-shedding breeds in no way guarantees offspring with non-shedding coats (dog coat genetics do not work that way), and a lot of these dogs have nightmarish, high maintenance coats. Let's not even get into temperament - AIEEEE!
Bridget, was your dbf the same way about being alone with S & K when they were babies? Just curious. A friend of mine has 3 kids, and her dh flat out refused to change a diaper, or be left alone with the baby. It wasn't until they were potty trained, and talking, that he would be left home alone with them. I was always a little shocked by that.
Shelley-mom to DS, 6
I'm not very original with naming my cars, nor consistent. My convertible I call Cabby and my XL7 I call Suzi ('cause it's a Suzuki).
It'll be many many years before we'll be in the market for another dog, if ever, but I'll never buy from a breeder. I'll only adopt from a shelter. I don't care much about breed...it's all the personality of the dog and whether or not there's a connection for me.

Me (40) DH (47) & furbabies * m/c 7/08 4/12 11/12
LOL, Mandy. I've also heard they stink to high heaven too.
That said, I always wanted a monkey as a child. There was a daytime TV show called "Fantasy" where you could write in with your fantasy and the show would travel around granting people's wishes. (heh, a proto-"Reality" show called "Fantasy". I never thought of that.) At around age 8, I wrote a letter to them asking them to send my parents on a nice vacation and for them to send me a pet monkey. Monkeys are still my favorite animals (although I've lately been obsessed with dragonflies and hummingbirds, since I started making up stories for Bodhi about how they get along and play together).
Now that I have a child and am revisiting old books and TV shows I watched, I'm pretty sure now that I developed my monkey crush because of Curious George, and I love big shaggy dogs because of Barkley on Sesame Street.
For some reason I have no good pictures of Nero. This is about the best picture of his face - forgive the fuzziness. His fur is blacker than it looks here, too, and he's badly in need of a paw trim. (Not sure why it's so big - should be 400x400).
Here we are together:
And here is my Gwennie with her anti-anxiety compression vest. Yes, I have a dog with a psych disorder.

Edy, I don't remember what that construction is called either but I like it.
, Mariane, for your lovely endorsement for my book DON'T FRIGHTEN THE PANSIES.
Here's a link to it on Amazon--
http://www.amazon.com/Dont-Frighten-Pan ... he+pansies
You can click on the book to see samples inside: the cover--front and back--Table of Contents, Front Pages, and some poems--if you click on the Table of Contents. If you would like a signed copy, you can e-mail me at firstname.lastname@example.com . The book with postage is $12.00--check or paypal.

I have already had the very best report I could possibly have from someone who read my poems. A friend gave a book to her mother, who reported to her that her husband found some answers in there to problems he'd been struggling with. That was my prayer --going into publishing--that folks would know salvation is free and God loves us every one.

Here are my folds
What a wonderful technique! First time to do a folded paper and so pleased with how well it turned out. Thanks for the wonderful tut on how to do this.
This is a photo of my mother's mother taken just after WWII ended.
I did have to do a bit of repair work to the photo as it had been stored in my mom's box of photos for several years. I am slowly working my way through them and scanning them into the computer so my children and their's can have photos of their ancestors.
beautiful pages ladies !
what a great tutorial ! I'll have to look for that but I work with pspX

The Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE is hefty, but packs modern Android power, an excellent keyboard, and LTE 4G if you're lucky.
With a dual-core Nvidia Tegra 2 processor, 4G speeds, enterprise-level security, and world phone credentials, the Motorola Photon 4G is a top-notch Android phone for Sprint customers.
There's 400 percent more light in intergalactic space than sources could produce, say researchers. Could dark matter be the cause?
Using Intel's silicon photonics chips, Fujitsu demonstrates how fiber-optic links can replace copper wires to handle PCI Express data transfer. The result: a machine that's easier to keep cool.
Big Blue researchers have figured out how to use standard manufacturing processes to make chips with built-in optical links that can transfer 25 gigabits of data per second.
Running Android 4.0.4 Ice Cream Sandwich and driven by a 1.5GHz dual-core processor, the Motorola Photon Q will certainly surpass Motorola's Droid 4.
For $199.99 the Motorola Photon Q carries the Droid 4's superb physical keyboard over to Sprint. The QWERTY slider also boasts LTE support, a fast 1.5GHz dual-core Snapdragon S4 processor, Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, and a bright 4.3-inch display.
Preorders begin today for Sprint's Motorola Photon Q, a 4G LTE Android 4.0 smartphone with a slide-out QWERTY keyboard.
If you crave an advanced Android QWERTY slider, the Photon Q could seriously satisfy.
The carrier provides a progress report on some of its marquee smartphones, led by the Galaxy S3 and Evo 4G LTE.

Scrapbook Ideas
Tips & Tricks. Ideas & Inspiration. Resources for Scrapbookers.
Journaling reads: In my opinion, one of the best ways to experience Connecticut's beautiful fall foliage is by taking a drive along the scenic byway, route 169. I have made many great memories and taken so many photos along this route! Route 169 doesn't start in Brooklyn, but that is where we often start our journey because that's where my childhood home was, and it's where my family still lives today. The two photos above are not actually along 169, they are just within walking distance of my parent's house, and they give you a feel for the types of fall views Brooklyn has to offer. The photos on the opposite page are some of the landmarks along 169 in Brooklyn (those photos weren't taken in the fall). As you can see, Brooklyn is a typical small New England town filled with history and beauty!
On some of the pages, you can see some white imperfections along the binding. At the time I received this book, I didn't realize this was out of the ordinary, so i didn't request a new book. I now know that Shutterfly would have replaced my book, because this is a printing error. I have never encountered this problem in any other book I've had printed through Shutterfly. Even though Shutterfly did offer to reprint the book for me when I called about it many months later, I decided not to go through the hassle, because it doesn't really bother me anyway.

Dragon Age Legends launches on Facebook
After spending quite a while in beta, Dragon Age Legends officially launched today on Facebook. The free-to-play RPG is available directly from the site you use to see pictures of your drunk friends, and unlocks bonus content in Dragon Age 2. Unfortunately, this means your drunk friends will know you're a nerd.
Of course, like any Facebook game, it encourages you to invite your friends into your party. On the other hand, it actually functions as a fairly competent old-school RPG, which is more than we can say for most Facebook click-fests. Give it a shot and let us know what you think in the comments.

Syntrax Nectar Whey Protein Isolate Strawberry Kiwi - 33.4 oz. (2.09 lb/948 g)
Syntrax Nectar Whey Protein Isolate Strawberry Kiwi is aspartame free. Welcome to the critically acclaimed world of Nectar! Gone are the days of low-quality whey protein. Gone are the days of those blah-tasting protein drinks that promise much but deliver little. Nectar once and for all breaks the mold by combining Promina, the highest quality whey protein isolate ever developed, with a flavoring system so fruitilicious that you will never drink a different whey protein shake ever again.
If you like the refreshing taste of fruit juice, you'll love Nectar! With its mouthwatering fruit juice flavors, Nectar is truly a protein drink you will look forward to drinking each and every day.
What's more? Well, Syntrax did something totally amazing by engineering Nectar to be so delicious that you can eat it right out of the container. Imagine putting a protein powder in your mouth and it tasting like candy. Imagine this protein powder having ZERO carbs and ZERO fat. Stop imagining! They've brought you Nectar!
THE FACTS1. What is Nectar?Nectar is a whey protein isolate powder that has the taste and sensory characteristics of fresh fruit juice.
2. Why only whey protein isolate?Although more expensive than protein concentrates, protein isolates are a minimum of 90% protein and have zero fat and zero carbohydrates. They are considered the luxury proteins and have a refined taste and color profile. Promina brand whey protein is the only protein source used in Nectar because of its superior neutral taste, solubility and mouthfeel.
3. How can Nectar be pure protein without sugar . . . it tastes too sweet and too good?First, Nectar contains the purest whey protein ever created. It is snow white without the usual protein aftertaste associated with most whey proteins. Second, the flavors are engineered specifically so that Nectar has no protein off-notes or aftertastes. Only the taste of fresh fruit is noticeable. The sweetness comes from the precise blend of two high intensity, non-nutritive sweeteners.
4. How much water should Nectar be mixed in?This is based on taste preference. Nectar tastes delicious in 8–16 ounces of water per full scoop. It is recommended to start with 8 ounces of water. If it tastes too strong, then dilute it/weaken it with an appropriate amount of water.
5. Can Nectar be consumed in any other way?Yes! Nectar can be eaten like candy right out of the container. Furthermore, Nectar can be blended with fruit, fruit juice or ice for new, exciting tastes and mouth-feels.
Other Ingredients: Whey protein isolate (milk)*, citric acid, natural and artificial flavors, soy lecithin, acesulfame-K, FD&C Red #40, sucralose.
*Promina brand: ultrafiltered and undenatured; includes beta lactoglobulin, alpha lactoalbumin, glycomacropeptides, immunoglobulin, b.s. albumin, protease peptone, lactoferrin, lactoperoxidase.

Pets carried in the cabin
Small cats, dogs, rabbits and rodents may be carried in the cabin with certain restrictions.
- The total weight of the pet and its container may not exceed 8 kg (17 lb).
- If you are transporting a dog, a cat or a rabbit in the cabin, we recommend that you carry it in a soft bag, as it will fit more easily under the seat in front. The maximum dimensions for a soft pet carrier are 55x40x20 cm (21x15x8 in) (length x width x height).
- Rodents must always be transported in a hard carrier. The maximum dimensions for a hard carrier are 35x30x20 cm (14x12x8 in) (length x width x height).
- You may not carry a pet in the cabin if you are travelling in Business Class on an intercontinental flight, as there is no room under the reclining seats.

You will see a watermark in the bottom right corner of all our images, however, that will not appear on your product when you order it.
Promo prints are mass-produced photographs of the band or artist that are included in press kits provided to the media. Also called "publicity stills", some of these pictures may be familiar to aficionados who remember them from magazines or advertisements appearing around the time of specific record releases, but many are never-before-seen shots that will thrill the true fan. The Promo Prints in the Vault's collection hail from the '60s through the '90s and are truly exceptional portraits of contemporary performers and legends.

Dual Enrollment at Ohio Northern University
Partnering Today for Tomorrow's Leaders
The dual enrollment program provides participating high schools with a unique and sustainable way to deliver rigorous curriculum to their students through college-level courses taught in their home facilities by qualified faculty members. The dual enrollment program allows for a broad range of student participation by eliminating the need for students to leave their high school campuses in order to attend college courses.
Participating in a dual enrollment program benefits both students and high schools. Benefits of the program include:
- Providing rigorous postsecondary academic challenges to high school students in their own supportive high school environments
- Providing college access to a broad range of students by placing actual college courses within high schools
- Affording students and families savings in the overall cost of higher education
- Focusing student learning on critical thinking and writing skills
- Evaluating students with multiple and varied assessments, rather than one high-stakes test
- Creating spillover effects that "raise the bar" throughout partner schools, even in non-dual enrollment courses
- Fostering strong local networks among secondary and postsecondary educators that result in seamless transitions for students as they move from high school to college

O'Hare International and Midway airports experienced flight delays Monday after a fire alarm at an FAA air traffic control facility.
A fire alarm went off at 8:03 a.m. at FAA TRACON, an air traffic control facility in Elgin, FAA spokeswoman Elizabeth Isham Cory said in a statement. Water was flowing into the pipes of the sprinkler system.
Water was not discharged but due to the alarm, the FAA facility in Aurora took over TRACON airspace, Cory said. The facility in Elgin was evacuated until 8:30 a.m.
Pilots were in communication with air traffic controllers at all times, Cory said.
There was no fire or structural damage to the facility, and the local fire department helped shut off the alarm, Cory said.
There were flight delays of up to 30 minutes at O'Hare and Midway, Cory said. Eight flights were diverted from O'Hare and Midway to other airports, possibly for fuel.
Flights have now resumed normal schedules, Cory said.
The FAA is investigating the cause of the alarm.

Level Range: 38-48
Special Notes: Scholomance can be very confusing, and with 12 bosses in a full clear, it's rather long.
Scholomance has lots of large, square rooms with a number of mobs scattered within the room. Watch your line of sight pulls, and particularly take care that ranged DPS don't accidentally pull (or if they can't help it, be ready to pick up an extra mob).
If you turn on nameplates (enabled by default with the 'V' key), you can see mobs under the floor in many locations, giving you an idea of what's coming.
Boss 4, Vectus and Marduk, are not actually 'bosses' but are part of an in-instance quest chain, and so are included as pseudo-bosses.
Headmaster Gandling is the last boss needed to complete the LFD requirement; however, if you wish to continue onward you can take out an additional boss, Ras Frostwhisper, for the achievement.
The * symbol represents the location of quest items.
- Kirtonos the Herald: Summon the boss by lighting the Brazier of the Herald. Shapeshifts from Undead to bat.
- Jandice Barov: Splits into multiple illusions of herself that all attack you. The illusion resets your target, so try to find her again (nameplates are helpful here) or make a macro: /tar Jandice Barov.
- Rattlegore: Clear out as many Risen Constructs as you can without pulling Rattlegore. He hits hard and has a knockback ability.
- Vectus & Marduk Blackpool: Use the Reliquary on the platform with Vectus and Marduk. It will aggro V and M and turn the students into skeletons. Vectus has AoE flame abilities; kill him first.
- Lorekeeper Polkelt: Clear out the six rooms to the north, east, and south- on BOTH levels- of the Headmaster's Study to summon the the Headmaster. All are pretty much tank and spank.
- Dr. Theolen Krastinov: Has a knockdown.
- Instructor Malicia: Casts a slow and Corruption. Can self-heal.
- Lady Illucia Barov: Casts a Silence.
- Lord Alexei Barov: Casts Immolate, Veil of Shadow.
- The Ravenian: Has a Trample and knockback.
- Darkmaster Gandling (The Headmaster): Appears in the Study when all six rooms surrounding him have been cleared. Hits very hard and casts Arcane Missles frequently. Has a Shadow Shield.
- Ras Frostwhisper: Clear the room before engaging Ras. Has multiple frost spells, including a slow (Freeze) and an AoE (Frostbolt Volley). Also casts Fear (you DID clear out the room, right?)
Warrior Says…
Though I walk through the Valley of the Shadow of Death, I will fear not, for I can always blame wipes on the healer.

You can make the quilt bigger or smaller by adding or subtracting blocks in multiples of 2. Any solid can be used and any fabric line will look stunning! Go grab your favorite line and let's get sewing!
As always please read through the directions before starting and if you have any questions or comments please come on over to my blog!
9 FQs Paradise Batiks, or (1) 2 1/2 x 21" strip from 20 FQs, and (2) 2 1/2 x 21" strips from 20 FQs
1 Bella Solids Black Jelly Roll, or 2 yards Bella Solids Black
3 3/4 yards Bella Solid Black, or 6 Bella Solids charm packs in black.
Cut 2 1/2" x 21" strips from the fat quarters. You can use all 9 strips from the fat quarter or cut 2 strips from each FQ in the bundle. You will need (60) 2 1/2" x 21" strips.
Cut (30) jelly roll strips in half so that you have (60) 2 1/2" x 21-22" strips.
Cut (30) 4 1/2" x WOF strips from Bella Solids Black. Sub-cut each strip into 4 1/2" squares. You need (240) 4 1/2" squares.
Stitch (1) batik strip to (1) black strip lengthwise. Press to the black. Repeat with all 60 strips.
Lay your ruler across both fabrics and cut every 2 1/2", creating 2 1/2" x 4 1/2 strips. Cut all of the strip sets like this. You will end up with (480) 2 1/2" x 4 1/2" strips.
Take (2) of these strips and lay right sides together with opposite fabrics touching (black touching batik). Stitch lengthwise to create a 4 patch. Press open. Repeat with all of the strips so that you have 240 four patches.
Stitch (1) 4 1/2" black square to (1) four patch, and press towards the black. Repeat.
Take the two units and lay right sides together so that the batik pieces are in the middle and the solid patch and four patch are touching. Stitch together. Create 120 of these.
There are 12 rows for the quilt... 6 for the top half, with the first blocks pointing up, and 6 for the bottom half with the first blocks pointing down. Each row has 10 blocks. Stitch rows. Press rows in alternating directions so that when you stitch the rows together the seams will "snap" together. Because the black hides all the seams and block lines, I've provided a layout with white so you can see it better.
Stitch the rows together. Press well.
Now for the most loved/hated words in quilting- baste, quilt and bind!
I quilted mine only in the black with circles in each square.
To make this quilt bigger, you can add borders or additional rows. 12 blocks by 12 blocks will yield a 96" square top.
For a King size quilt make 14 x 14 blocks, yielding 112" x 112" quilt.
One 80" x 96" sized quilt!

Twice Euthanized Puppy Survives
Once unwanted, now hundreds clamor to adopt Wall-e

If anything good comes of this it will be that people who were ignorant to what goes on in a shelter will be enlightened. Hopefully, this will spur adoptions all around. I am a crossposter on Facebook. I spend alot of time everyday sharing posts of animals in shelters that only have 24-48 hours left. Yes, alot of them are puppies and alot of them are pure breeds. It is a sad harsh reality. I like to think my time and effort makes a difference for some.

All of our pups were shelter dogs and on death row..one of them was a puppy...he was 8 weeks old when we got him..another the owners decided the pup was a handful and were going to take her to be killed at the local shelter..lucky for us someone asked us if we could help find her a home. Another one we got was adopted and returned several times when we adopted him we were told if we decided we didn't want him we were to bring him back to them and they would deem him un-adoptable and KILL HIM IMMEDIATELY...I am happy to say ALL four of your death row babies are happy in their forever homes where they are spoiled and loved like crazy...

As a former Shelter Operations Chairman, I can say that Euthansia is AWAYS a DIFFICULT decision, and an even more DIFFICULT job. However until those of us who work with rescue or shelters can find an effective way to erradicate commercial, unethical, and "backyard breeders", it is a realism we must deal with daily.
It's a crying shame -- and I mean that literally -- that this puppy had to survive lethal injection to attract adopters and find a home.
Submitted by Frances | March 6 2011 | Permalink
I have felt this way so often, when a story on television or in a newspaper about a homeless cat or dog will tug at hearts, and have dozens of people offering homes. Perhaps some of them do go on to adopt other animals needing love ... perhaps it is just that particular story that moves them ... perhaps they simply do not have the right sort of home - shelters will know better than I do whether this sort of publicity is valuable in homing more animals. But if it is, then a regular slot for dog and cat of the day, with follow up stories, would seem like a sure fire winner for local television news. Are any stations doing it yet?
Submitted by Carrie | March 7 2011 | Permalink
this is truly heartbreaking. there are so many amazing pets out there sitting in crowded shelters, many waiting to be put down. and for what!? these animals deserve the same rights as we people i believe. why are people paying hundreds or even thousands of dollars to get that new trendy breed when they could adopt the most amazing wonderful deserving pet at their local shelter for a fraction of the cost!
Submitted by Eliya | March 17 2011 | Permalink
the power of the internet is incredible. stories can become viral in minutes, and solutions can be reached or obtained faster than ever. there needs to be an organization aimed solely at finding homes for animals on the euthanization list, an organization that harnesses the incredible power of the internet. running solely online, this organization would never "run out of space" like shelters do. with a simple commitment from shelters to inform the organization as early as possible (a week, two weeks) of a planned euthanization, the organization could disperse online the images and stories of innocent animals who do not deserve to die, and save their lives.

What I don't understand from the original article. He found the dog on Friday near the shelter and tried to kill it with lethal injection on Friday. Didn't he even try to ascertain if this dog might have had an owner somewhere first?
Submitted by Anonymous | January 2 2012 | Permalink
I read that it was entire litter of puppies and they were sick. Many county animal controls do not have the resources to take care of either sick animals or young puppies and it IS more humane to euthanize.
This article prompted me to donate to my local spay/neuter program and to the local TNR program for cats.
Thank you for a well-written article.

The trick for diabetics—those with low insulin levels or insulin resistance—is to keep blood sugar levels from spiking by choosing the right balance of foods. Carbohydrates need only make up 40 percent of a your diet, so stick to whole grains, fruits, and non-starchy veggies. These following meal plans to get your menu on the right track (recipes provided for asterisked items).
Breakfast: Hot buckwheat, banana, flax, and walnut
Snack: Seasonal fresh fruit with raw nuts and seeds
Lunch: White beans on a bed of greens
