A new study which looked into the ways in which UK consumers are spending their cash, has found that eCommerce and mCommerce are increasingly popular with consumers.
The study, conducted by IMRG and eDigitalResearch surveyed 6,000 people, and it was discovered that 61% of respondents stated that they would be reaching for their mobile phones to shop online with increasing frequency over the coming year.
The results also found that more and more consumers will be relying on the internet this year for their Christmas shopping, despite the snow and disrupted deliveries that affected online orders in 2010.
With the Christmas season approaching fast, it is a significant period for retailers, and 35% of those questioned said that they would be shopping on their smartphones in the run-up to the festive period.
A third of those questioned said that they would buy roughly half of all their presents for Christmas 2011 via eCommerce or mCommerce, while a quarter said that around 75% of their purchases would be made online this Christmas, in order to find bargains and get away from the bustling high street. Almost a fifth of respondents said that they were reliant on the internet to help stretch their limited budget during Christmas and New Year.
Over half of those surveyed stated that they would be commencing their shopping earlier this year in an attempt to spread the cost, signalling the importance for retailers to begin implementing their Christmas plans and promotions earlier. Almost half also said that they can often be influenced by a retailer's deals and promotions, indicating for retailers the importance of understanding key influencers for their customer base.
Derek Eccleston, Research Director at eDigitalResearch explains, "Christmas is by far the most important time for retailers. This year will be one of the first Christmas shopping periods where mobile shopping will be readily available to the majority of consumers. The rapid development in mobile technology and the quick uptake by retailers of mobile sites and retail apps means that more and more brands have the opportunity to connect with potential customers, encourage purchases and increase revenues. As we continue to be gripped by the MEcommerce revolution – where the consumer now holds the power to shop where, when and how they like – it is crucial that retailers have a strong presence across multiple channels in order to maximise the potential rewards that this Christmas has to offer".

Rapids' Cummings, Marshall roped in for Jamaica's Gold Cup run
The Rapids likely will lose star striker Omar Cummings and veteran defender Tyrone Marshall from MLS games next month after the pair were named Monday to the Jamaica national team's roster for the CONCACAF Gold Cup.
The Gold Cup, a tournament of national teams from North America, the Caribbean and Central America, runs from June 5-25. The Jamaican team will begin its camp on June 2 and the squad nicknamed "Reggae Boyz" will face Grenada on June 6 in Carson, Calif. The Group B schedule for Jamaica continues with games against Guatemala on June 10 in Miami, and against Honduras on June 13 in New Jersey.
But the Rapids have MLS games on the docket June 4 in Commerce City against the Philadelphia Union and June 11 at Portland against the Timbers. It was unclear how much time Marshall and Cummings would miss away from the Rapids.
Cummings has been a Jamaica mainstay since his debut with the team in 2008. He has 23 caps and seven goals with Jamaica, including the game-winner in 3-2 victory over El Salvador on March 29 in a friendly.
Marshall has 82 caps with Jamaica since 2000. But he hasn't played with the team since January 2010.
Both players are available for the Rapids this week for a Wednesday game in New Jersey against the New York Red Bulls and Saturday in Commerce City against Sporting Kansas City. Although Cummings has missed the past three MLS games with a sprained right ankle. He remains questionable.
More photos from the Colorado Rapids game vs. Toronto FC in MLS action Sunday in Commerce City.

Australian Psychiatrists Urge Government To Lift Nicotine Ban | DIY E-Liquid Blog – E-Juice Makers
Australian Psychiatrists Urge Government To Lift Nicotine Ban
There's been a shift in the debate over access to e-cigarettes containing nicotine in Australia.
Many psychiatrists operating within the country are urging the government to lift the ban on nicotine, because the mentally ill who are documented as being heavy smokers could stand to benefit from using vapor products instead of continuing to smoke cigarettes.
The Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Psychiatrists (RANZCP) states that the mentally ill are more likely to smoke heavily with life expectancy cut by 20 years compared to the general population, according to The Sydney Morning Herald.
It is currently legal to purchase vapor products in Australia, but it's illegal to sell, possess or use nicotine with them.
The move by the RANZCP is the first instance of a specialist medical college or major health group to go against Australia's medical community, which is largely in favor of banning e-cigarettes, The Herald reports.

As a homeowner, it's a good idea to know the capacity of your home's circuit breaker panel, especially if you are upgrading appliances or adding on an addition to your house. The circuit breaker panel, also called the electrical panel or fuse box, is the main electrical distribution point for all the electronic devices in your home. A typical home has a panel that provides between 100 and 200 amps. Keep reading to learn 4 different ways to determine the total amount of power your circuit break panel can safely handle:

Jeremiah 35 Amplified Bible (AMP)
The Rechabites' Obedience
35 The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord in the days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah: 2 "Go to the house of the [a]Rechabites and speak to them, and bring them into the house of the Lord, into one of the [side] chambers; then give them [who are pledged not to drink wine] some wine to drink." 3 So I took Jaazaniah the son of Jeremiah, the son of Habazziniah, and his brothers and all his sons and the whole house of the Rechabites, 4 and I brought them into the house of the Lord, into the chamber of the sons of Hanan the son of Igdaliah, the man of God, which was near the chamber of the princes, above the chamber of Maaseiah the son of Shallum the doorkeeper. 5 Then I set before the men of the house of the Rechabites pitchers full of wine, and cups, and I said to them, "Drink wine." 6 But they said, "We will not drink wine, for Jonadab the son of Rechab, our father, commanded us: 'You shall not drink wine, neither you nor your sons, forever. 7 Nor shall you build a house or sow seed or plant a vineyard or own one; but you shall live in tents all your days, that you may live many days in the land where you are sojourners (temporary residents).' 8 We have obeyed the words of Jonadab the son of Rechab, our father, in all that he commanded us, in all our days we have never drunk wine, nor have our wives, our sons, or our daughters, 9 nor have we built ourselves houses to live in; nor do we have vineyards or fields or seed. 10 We have lived only in tents, and have obeyed and done [everything] according to all that Jonadab our father commanded us. 11 But when Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up against the land, we said, 'Come and let us go to Jerusalem for fear of the army of the Chaldeans [who rule Babylon] and for fear of the army of the Arameans.' So we have lived in Jerusalem."
Judah Rebuked
12 Then came the word of the Lord to Jeremiah, saying, 13 "Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, 'Go and say to the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, "Will you not receive instruction by listening to My words and honoring them?" says the Lord. 14 "The command which Jonadab the son of Rechab gave to his sons not to drink wine has been observed [as a custom for more than two hundred years]. To this day they do not drink wine, for they have obeyed their father's command. But I have repeatedly spoken to you, yet you have not listened to Me. 15 I have also sent to you all My servants the prophets, sending them repeatedly, saying, 'Let every one of you turn now from his evil way and alter your behavior, and do not follow other gods to worship and serve them; and then you will live in the land which I have given to you and to your forefathers. But you have not submitted or listened to Me. 16 Indeed, the sons of Jonadab the son of Rechab have observed the command of their father which he gave them, but this people has not listened to Me.'"' 17 Therefore thus says the Lord God of hosts, the God of Israel, 'Behold (hear this), I am bringing on Judah and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem all the disaster that I have pronounced against them, because I have spoken to them, but they have not listened, and I have called to them, but they have not answered.'"
18 Then Jeremiah said to the house of the Rechabites, "Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, 'Because you have obeyed the command of Jonadab your father and have kept all his commands and have done according to all that he commanded you, 19 therefore thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, "Jonadab the son of Rechab shall never fail to have a man (descendant) to stand before Me always."'"

Why cause marketing is an inside job
Despite the wonderful work and contributions made by corporate foundations through their cause marketing campaigns, there is a fundamental obstacle that cause marketers must overcome if they hope to truly have the impact our world at scale and build the bottom-lines. This obstacle is the integration of purpose into their for-profit business model. Much like sustainability, for too long cause-marketing has been viewed by many brands as an add-on, afterthought or PR exercise, independent of its profit-driven business strategies. Yet in the social business marketplace, in which brands must increasingly establish why they're meaningful to the lives, cause marketing is now one of the most effective strategies for business-building and positive impact.
As such, companies now need to end this false separation between profit and purpose, and see cause marketing as a natural extension of the core values of the brand. When a company does that the benefits are two-fold.
First, they enjoy even greater PR benefits thanks to their authentic commitment to a cause, and this translates to customer goodwill, loyalty, and ultimately profits. Secondly, by defining the company's purpose, and choosing to do cause marketing that's in alignment with their core values, such cause marketing reinforces the for-profit brand narrative of the company. It also avoids a mistake often made by cause marketers who support an initiative that's not in alignment with their brand, and so they create a disconnect in the mind of the consumer who then suspects them of cause-washing or duplicitous motives.
In terms of how a brand integrates purpose and profit, and establishes a cause marketing strategy on that basis, there are several choices open to every company.
1. LEADERSHIP: Leadership can determine independently what the brand stands for, its core values, and choose non-profits whose work is in alignment with the objectives of the brand.
2. EMPLOYEES: Leadership can collaborate with employees, engaging them in the process of brand definition and cause-marketing outreach, so that they're already invested in the social benefits.
3. COMMUNITY: A company can reach out to its customer community, sharing its best articulation of the brand purpose and the causes it would like to support, and ask for the input of its customers as to which one nonprofit or charity they'd like to support. Or perhaps there is a mix of several nonprofits, all of which are in alignment with the purpose of the brand.
The benefits of such an approach are multifaceted. Not only will leadership enjoy a sense of fulfillment through the contribution that they make, but there are many bottom-line benefits.
1. EMPLOYEES: When you create an employee force that knows what a company stands for they feel better about working there because they are making a contribution to that larger purpose. It is far more cost effective to keep an employee than find a new one. Plus companies are far more capable of attracting top talent.
2. COMMUNITY: By engaging employees and consumers in the process of cause marketing, you also create a tight-knit community aligned around shared values, ensuring that they all work towards the success of the brand from the point of view of profit and in terms of their positive impact on the world.
3. SOCIETY: By contributing to a cause that's meaningful to leadership, employees, and consumers, brands can improve the well-being of society at large, ensuring that there is a thriving economy in which to operate, and a prosperous middle class that can afford to buy their products.
In the context of a persistently dire economy, and record consumer distrust of brands, cause marketing is an absolutely critical element in the mix of business strategies today. A brand must finally integrate purpose into its for-profit business model so that it can satisfy the new demands of consumers which include authenticity, transparency, and accountability for their impact on their employees, consumers, and our world. Those that do this will be the ones that inspire a community to build their business with them, and they will be the ones who will most effectively leverage social media to amplify their message and be the business success stories of the future.
Here's a list of some effective cause marketing campaigns that effectively align purpose and profit:
• LARGE BRAND: Nike LIVESTRONG Campaign
• PRODUCT BRAND: Pampers UNICEF Campaign
• SMALL BRAND: Invincibelle Hydrangea Campaign
What other benefits do you see to the integration of cause marketing into the for-profit business strategies of a brand? What do you think are the greatest obstacles to more brands committing to this?

LSC Elections – Final Plugs
April 16, 2012 at 8:19 pm 118 comments
LSC elections are this week. Wednesday for Elementary, Thursday for High Schools. We can all vote for both. Some of us can vote at 3 or more schools. What fun!
Many LSC elections are decided by just a few votes one way or another. This is a case where your vote (and your mobilization of friends/neighbors) really CAN make a difference in the makeup of a school's local council. Many schools could use a fresh start and have potential for change if parents keep pushing.
News from Buena Park schools (since I used their nice LSC logo):
Two groups I am supporting if you happen to live in the area:
Waters Elementary:
- Terri Versace
- Christine Weldon
Amundsen High School (I really think this place has potential, contingent upon the hiring of a new principal by June 30th). These community spots are critical as they could be some of the only new blood on the LSC. The neighborhood group would like to unseat a longtime member with strong political ties. Seems like a good guy, but it just is time for some new ideas to get the school on people's radar.
- Jeff Newman
- Michael Cohen (husband of Wendy from RYH)
Feel free to post your own endorsements below. Please vote! And tell your friends! And even if they don't win, still go to the meetings and ask the tough questions!
Entry filed under: Uncategorized.

Can you believe the number of principals retiring this year? Lane's pincipal, Budlong, Hawthorne lost their pincipal, and many many others. It may be difficult for all these schools to find good replacements or will it really shake things up to get really new blood in these positions?
You said it, mom2. I've heard there are around 150 principals retiring. I doubt that the schools that really need a shake up will get one, with the approved principal pool being so limited. The numbers being passed through the grapevine are 150 retiring and only @90 in the pool (I did see a different number in catalyst post somewhere. It still wasn't great). I think a lot of APs are going to get the job, even if they are no better than the previous admin. Time is an issue…LSCs don't have much time to search or try to circumvent the pool, otherwise schools will have an interim principal appointed for them. And nobody wants that. So, it's disheartening to see that there will be little chance of a shake up across the board.
I wish I could find a post on here where someone in the comments wrote about their LSC's principal search and how they managed to hire someone from Colorado (I think). Anyone recall that comment or thread?
Yes, Terri Versace! What an incredible lady! She is so dedicated and resourceful. Great for Waters that she is running!
Please vote for Lynn Ankney who is running for the LSC at Belding school in Old Irving Park/Mayfair area!
I don't worry at all about the top performing schools and their ability to attract the best admins to their schools. They skim the best candidates off the top. It always seems to go that way. It is the other 90% I am concerned about. My veteran principal was telling us all about the last time there was shortages in both staff and admin areas. She described non-certified people in principalships and teaching positions, principals that had previously been fired or asked to resign were put back into positions, classrooms staffed with subs for the entire year because they were cheaper. This was in the 80's when Chicago schools were considered the worst in the nation and that had something to do with it.
For the life of me, I don't understand why anyone would ever want to be a principal. It just seems like an awful job and while the money is decent, I am not sure any amount of money would be worth it. There are a ton of qualified teachers out there with type 75's but no one wants to take on that level of stress.
If you live in the McPherson boundaries, please vote for the following candidates:
Community – Jake Hebert Katie Osgood
Parent – Mike Carlson Steve Sul Greta Madigan
Sorry to go off topic, but what's the story with Hawthorne's principal? I didn't realize she had left.
Inter-American Magnet School did a national search and did select a wonderful principal from Colorado. Inter-American parents and community members invite anyone 18 or older and live between Diversey (2800 N) and Foster (5200 N),Lake Michigan and Western (2400 W) to vote for up to FIVE people. If you are on either side of boundary streets, your vote counts.
These 5 people are committed to academic excellence in the community (numbers refer to ballot positions):
#05 LISANDRA "MS. LISA" VAZQUEZ (parent)
#08 KAREN BARBOUR (parent)
#09 GUILLERMO VIDAURRE (parent)
#28 MARGARET AGUILAR (community)
#29 JILL WOHL (community)
Bring TWO forms of ID (one with current address, e.g. Driver's License, utility bill, voter registration, lease). Picture ID
not necessary. Questions? Need help parking or rides? Text email@example.com
Your vote is urgently needed at the Inter-American Magnet School (IAMS) Local School Council Election on Wednesday, April 18, 2012
(6AM-7PM). It's quick, easy and your participation ensures academic excellence in your community.
Inter-American is a great public school. Its unique multilingual, multicultural program adds something special to the community.
But its continued success depends on neighbors like you to elect LSC representatives with diverse and independent
viewpoints that put the educational needs of children first.
The school is located near Halsted & Addison (between Center on Halsted and Wrigley Field). Entrance is on Fremont.
Free parking will be available in the System lot off Addison, east of the police station. Bring card in to the school security
desk to be validated. Polls open 6AM to 7PM.
Cast a vote where it can make a difference – for democratically elected Local School Councils.
Stockton Elementary's voting is on April 18th from 6am to 7pm. Please consider voting for Susan Ridihalgh for community representation to the LSC. Generalized boundary for Stockton is from Clark to Broadway between Montrose and Lawrence (except for South of Wilson you need to be on the West Side of Magnolia). If you are on the East side of Magnolia Stewart Elementary could use you to vote in their LSC, although sadly I don't think they have a full slate yet again.
I believe I am eligible to vote at Inter-American, Disney, Brenneman, and perhaps Uplift and Senn. I assume you are able to vote in your attendance boundary high school?
At Beaubien, this LSC election is serious business! My kid's backpack practically exploded with campaign flyers today, including one overly slick one that I actually thought was for the alderman!
Our mailbox and front door were bombed with flyers all weekend, too. One candidate rang our doorbell and talked to my wife and one caught me heading to my car! We have tried to find the good in this insanity–at least we have a lot more choices this time around and these people seem to care enough to campaign hard.
The current LSC voted to cut our music program and hired the assistant principal as our new principal. Those people will NOT get my votes again. Fool me once…
I plan on voting for people who seem sensible and sound like they have decent ideas about strengthening Beaubien (in alpha order):
-Michelle Baert (parent)
-Norma Castrejon (parent)
-Triscia Ewert (parent)
-Jon Heller (parent)
-Eric Pfeifelman (community)
-Amy Serafin (community)
No matter who is elected, I plan on watching what they do very carefully this time around!
Hawthorne's principal was promoted to a higher level within CPS. Same thing happened with Audubon's principal. Schools are undoubtedly competing to attract the top prospects and hire them before someone else does. I hope they can figure out a way to recruit and retain good principals because it really does seem to make all the difference in the world.
@3 Here's my blog post on principal selection I that think you may be referring to: http://ilraiseyourhand.org/content/i-think-jesse-ruiz-doth-protest-too-much
Yes, we can all support each other where possible. Pay it forward with your LSC votes.
I talk to a lot of parents going through principal selection process. We need far better communication amongst ourselves to be better aware of our rights and responsibilities. Kudos to stalwarts Designs for Change and PURE (Parents United for Responsible Education).
I am delighted to see how much more public conversation there is about LSCs vs two years ago (crickets). This is a positive development for democratic education.
P.S. Come vote for me @ Inter-American!
Parents from Grimes and Fkeming Schools!
Please vote for the following candidates:
Parent representative
#1 Nellie Cotton
#4 Maria Carrillo
#9 Mary Botello
#10 Marissa Perez
Community representative
#2 Gabriel Cotton
These parents are proactive within our community and beyond, focused on community needs and are devoted to strengthening our schools and our community. We need a strong proactive LSC to represent us!
mud — i think that is happening a lot.
Here's my plug: when you go to pick up your kids from school today, spend five extra minutes and walk inside the school to vote. Vote because you live in a democracy. Vote because you care about education. Vote because it is your responsibility.
BTW, I am on the ballot at Disney II and would greatly appreciate your support. But wherever you live and wherever your kids go to school – please vote.
Vote TOMORROW. I was getting ahead of myself…again.
If you are in the Hyde Park area, please go and vote at Murray Language Academy. A host of parents regard this as a make-it-or-break-it kind of election and we have assembled a slate of candidates who, we believe, could stop the current free fall of the school.
–Heather Taylor
–Josephine Sanders
–Tom Hoffer
–Michael Ewing
–Elizabeth Owens-Hunter
–Julie Hammond
If you would like to vote for community representatives, we endorse
–Michael Scott
–Kara Scott
Please visit our blog
for information on our candidates and watch for our fliers in the community.
Thanks, BuenaParkMom! And thanks to Jill and cpsobsessed for bringing more attention to the LSC elections.
I got some great advice here about running for Stockton's LSC, and would appreciate votes from any Stockton-area people. My main goal as a community member will be to work on connecting the school and the community (residents, block clubs, businesses, alderman's office, etc.) for the benefit of both. Stockton has a lot going for it, but so far hasn't been supported by the larger community as much as it should (in my opinion). We have great momentum toward positive change in Uptown and I don't want the schools to be left out.
–Susan Ridihalgh
If you have the ability to vote in the Murphy School LSC election please do:
Community Reps:
Gretchen Scheffring (sp?)
Tim Olander.
These two outstanding citizens at both tremendously active at two parks closest to Murphy.
Russ Bryd
Roberta Salas
Teresa Gonzales
are all returning parents and great LSC members.
-RL Julia
For all you Payton parents out there –
vote (for my friend) Beth Stover for LSC rep. She is currently is serving on the Payton LSC as an interim rep. She has lots of experience in education both policy and practice and is not afraid ask questions.
@ 19. Shoeshine Boy.
For those in Lake View HS boundaries, please consider voting for my husband, MITCH GORDON as a community rep.
We've been in the community for more than 13 years and would love to help Lake View become a strong and viable neighborhood school. I've been on the Hamilton LSC for the past two years and my husband is now eager to get involved at the HS level. He has a real passion for science and technology and has strong community ties and most importantly the desire to help make a difference.
@25 – do you have others you would like to see on the LSC with your husband? If I go vote there, I'd like advice about who is most willing to make Lake View HS the school that Lake View neighborhood parents would be thrilled to send their college bound children.
For all those who are supporting LSC's here I salute you, and I will absolutely be voting in every election I am qualified to vote in. I am writing today to share the link below on how CPS, under Brizard's leadership, did not do what CPS had been doing for the previous decade in supporting LSC's. Brizard tried to ignore and marginalize parents voices in his last job in Rochester, and since they have an elected school board, he was shown the door. When it comes to our schools, the price of liberty is vigilance. http://pureparents.org/?p=18990
Just a copy/paste to give a quick look:
"Independent groups seeking to recruit LSC candidates encountered multiple forms of resistance from the school system's central administration in the run-up to the eleventh LSC election, including problems that they had not experienced in the ten previous LSC elections. For example:
• The school system's Office of LSC Relations did not coordinate meetings and communications with interested independent groups to plan a coherent recruitment and election strategy.
• While in past elections, the Office of LSC Relations had released a daily computerized tally of the number of candidates for each position by school in the last month of the recruitment period (which allows groups to target their recruitment), the Office of LSC Relations stated that they would release these data only in response to a Freedom of Information Request, to which the school system typically takes at least ten days to respond. This delay makes the resulting information (which changes day-to-day) useless."
Using FOIA to block parents? WHAT?
Voters in the Keller district (south of 87th and west of halsted),please vote for:
Christine McGovern (parent)
Chad Syverson (parent)
Pat Berklich (parent)
Steven Simmons or Michael byrd (parent)
Jim Paris or Denis Riordan (community)
Keller needs new leadership as we move to replace our former principal.
Question for eligibility for voting (for magnet/gifted/classical): Can you vote for an LSC at school for which you have an incoming student but no one currently enrolled?
I'm running at Stone Academy as a community rep and would appreciate your vote, Melissa Kreke #28
I'm plugging for MARY FAHEY-HUGHES for the LC of the Agricutural High School (CHSAS) in Mount Greenwood:
Here's her statement:
I'm running for a Community Member position on the Ag School LSC and I'd appreciate your support. The election is Thursday, April 19, 2012, at the Chicago High School for Agricultural Sciences, 3857 W. 111th Street, Chicago, IL 60655. The elections are from 6:00 a.m. – 7:00 p.m. My Candidate Statement follows. Please come out and vote.
Candidate Statement: My name is Mary Hughes and I am seeking your vote for a Community Member position on the Chicago High School for Agricultural Sciences Local School Council. I am a Beverly resident, the wife of a Chicago Firefighter and mother to four children. I was previously on the LSC for Barbara Vick Early Childhood and Family Center and I am also a Founder and Chairperson for the parent support and advocacy group, Beverly Area Parents for Special Education. Our group meets monthly to provide support surrounding the special education challenges for our children with special needs, provide speakers on such subjects as Special Education Rights, nutrition and special recreation, and also advocate for our children through our legislators by seeking increased services, facilities and programs for all children our neighborhood.
In addition to my work on a local level, I am a member of the city-wide Parent Advisory Committee for the Office of Specialized Services for CPS. As a community member, I am committed to supporting Principal Hook in maintaining the excellence in the programs at CHSAS while giving voice to community concerns for increased opportunity for admission for neighborhood children and expanding programs for children with special needs.
Is there a way to get copies of the candidate statements? I called my local elementary, local high school, and our proximity magnet. They all said I had to come in when the office was open and read them from a bulletin board. Is that really the only way?
Plus – they take them down at the end of the school day before the election day so you can't even read them when you go in to vote.
For Lenart Regional Gifted Center, the 3 H's, Trina Hodo, Chanda Hardy-Davis, and Crystal Haynes. All are proven candidates that are working diligently to find a candidate for principal and assistant principal next year.
For Pritzker please vote for:
Mark Bishop
Rachel Lessem
Melissa Mendoza
Christina Nelson
Don Roseen
Renata Stiehl
And for community reps, Joe Conway and Mike Curran.
Kelly @34 & 35 – some candidates have posted info at Center Square Journal and Roscoe View Journal. Depending on what your local school is you may find some info at one of those links.

**Remember, you can only vote for five people total on each ballot, otherwise your ballot will be void.
For Lincoln Elementary School, please vote for Curt Weiss as community representative.
Lincoln is facing some major decisions this year about how to deal with overcrowding. I urge you to support the candidates who are in favor of a solution that involves increasing the size of the facilities, not redistricting. Candidate statements on redistricting are available here:
Full candidate statements are available here:
Just as a reminder to a lot of folks on here, according to the LSC election manual
On page 23, it shows each voter can cast a vote for up to 5 people TOTAL and that counts both parent and community candidates combined. If you vote for more than 5, it will SPOIL your ballot.
Just received a very irritating phone call. Came up as caller unknown but I picked it up. Was one of those automated type messages slamming a candidate for our local high school LSC. Now frankly, I had never heard of the man but was extremely irritated by the tactics. The message immediately started slandering the individual, calling him a known alcoholic and convicted drunk driver. Whether or not this information is true, I am appalled and disgusted at the method of personal attack. Seems to me that if this is accurate information and is of concern as to one's ability to serve on the council, then there are better ways to handle it. The call did not identify which organization was calling at the beginning (frankly, I hung up before the message finished as I got so disgusted. I did not hear the end to see who had paid for the message, if it was even mentioned.) I just want to say though, this type of approach is disgusting and I was surprised to hear such a call in regards to an LSC election. Maybe I shouldn't be…..
Just received first ever robo call about LSC elections for Amundsen. Does anyone know if it's true that a current LSC community member running for re election has 7 DUI arrests? I don't want to slander anyone but would like to know if the information is legit.
I received the same robo call about the Amundsen LSC elections just a few minutes ago.
I have children at Waters and am supporting the Working Together for Waters group and specifically:
Greg Foster-Rice
Terri Versace
Matthew Weinstock
Christine Weldon
My 5th vote will go to either Mariuxi Benitez or Hugo Siguenza.
All great people that I really would like to see elected!
@45 That is the call I received too. Did you stay on through the entire call? Did it say who funded the call?
My husband is running at Portage Park. His name is David Nordwall. We have 13 parents running! We are getting a new principal!
@47 I got the same call and listened to the whole thing because I was so stunned. No identification of who it was coming from other than a Nevada phone #.
I listened to the whole thing too. No mention of who funded it.
50 – Obviously that makes the entire call extremely suspicious. Disgusting.
Anyone have recs for Schurz?
Please help us to maintain stability and an upward trend. The opposition is aiming to place a 6th principal in the last 10 years, despite huge test score gains and curricular advances.
please vote for only 5:
#3 – Ana Camino
# 5 – Lisandra Vazquez
#7 – Marisol Morales
#8 – Karen Barbour
#9 – Guillermo Vidaurre
#10 – Julie Grisalez
Western ave to Lake Michigan, Foster Ave to Diversey Ave… Please come and vote… 851 W. Waveland…
RL Julia — did you go to the Schurz mtg tonight?
As noted on the FaceBook page of The Welles Park Bulldog tonight, the Amundsen LSC met in executive session this evening to consider how to fill the coming vacancy of Carlos Munoz. It does not appear likely the current LSC will wait for a new LSC to select the next principal of the school.
The Dog has an extensive list of candidate statements for many of the 17 North Side schools it covers. You can find the school list at this index page: http://www.wellesparkbulldog.com/news/lsc-coverage
There were some questions about voting above. There are stories in the Bulldog about who can vote, where you can vote (for North Area Attendance), what you need to vote. Read LSC FAQ and also go to the mascot page on Google+.
There were questions about the FOIAs demanded by CPS for election records. Read the AustinTalks story on The Dog page and also the short or long story on March 1 about The Dog's involvement in trying to secure these records.
If you need press coverage of an election issue, first call the LSC Election Central Office at +1.312.553.1400 and try to resolve it without us. Then, consider calling The Dog. +1.312.545.4342 (Patrick) if you are on the North Side.
Good luck to all the candidates.
[…] LSC Elections – Final Plugs cpsobsessed: Two groups I am supporting if you happen to live in the area: Waters Elementary: Terri Versace, Christine Weldon. Amundsen High Schoo: Jeff Newman, Michael Cohen (husband of Wendy from RYH). […]
Hey Waters people — CPSO, 22, 46 — I can only vote for community reps, so the two people I know, Terri and Christine are out. Which of your good candidates are community? Also, since I don't have kids at the school do I get 5 votes for community, or only 2?
For Coonley LSC there are many great candidates to choose from but I want to put a special plug in for parent candidate York Chan. His experience, aptitude, and skill set are impressive and will be a great fit as Coonley continues to grow and address its increasing space issues. My daughter has been in the options program with his for the past three years and the other thing that sets him apart from the crowd is fabulous communication skills, York is heavily involved with the school and provides the other class parents with detailed descriptions of events, forums etc. Coonley, or any school, would benefit greatly from increased communication between the LSC and general parent population, so much goes on at the meetings, but most parents do not have time to attend meetings or sort through the minutes. York, better than anyone else I know, would be able to bridge the gap and make sure that all school parents are aware of important developments in the LSC.

The Welles Park Bulldog is reporting on voting using its FaceBook page: http://www.facebook.com/The.Chicago.Bulldog
Possible voter intimidation at Trumbull. No principals at some schools, so judges are not sworn in (Ravenswood and Budlong). Ballot shortage at Ravenswood, Waters
I think that LScs are the first places to show how school communities polarize as they change. I'm always leery of the slate minded "vote for.. .." mindset as it can be very difficult to understand school cultures when we don't attend the schools.
The rude calls and tense environments emerging around LSC elections in part stem from calls to vote for four or five people that you don't really know in a school you do not attend. How can anyone vote for a person one has never met –much less five –at a school they have never spent an afternoon in?
I hope that anyone voting in today's election takes the time to go beyond reading candidate statements and to actually speak to parents and teachers spending their lives at the school if you can. And not just people you think you agree with.
Please get a really good idea of who you are voting for and how it can impact the school because your vote has huge impact and it might not be the result that a slate driven coalition is selling you.
Many times parents who run for lsc are never the people who volunteer to do the messy boring stuff. I'd love to get some of the parents who do the daily grind style of helping out to run for our lsc. Sadly they are usually too nice to try it now that our election can be a circus and community members vote the email list their neighbors sent with no idea of the real effect in our school community. Few of the most helpful, insightful and genuine people who run for our lsc ever get elected anymore because our parents don't elect our lsc, the much large community that does not attend does. Here's hoping for a better result this year.
I too was appalled to hear of robocalls for LSC elections, and from a Nevada phone #??????? There has got to be a way to ban this, as this is absolutely NOT THE WAY WE WANT LSC's TO GO!!! Almost sorry for caps but this is just so wrong! An interesting question is how did the caller/organization get the list of those that were called and what was that list? Hopefully time will tell.
Not sure why, but I made a mistake on my ballot and asked for a new one (as per instructions ON the ballot) at McPherson this morning. Judge made sure I know what she thinks about that! Unfortunately, not a good experience.
Anyone have experience with candidates at Portage Park Elementary or Shurz high school?
Here's my pitch for Karen Hynes, at Edison RGC:
Karen is a former CPS special needs teacher and has a background in educational law. She's volunteered tirelessly at Edison and is devoted to the children there. She's smart, organized, and thoughtful. Vote Karen Hynes, position #8 on the ballot!
Any recommendations for Hamilton?
If you're in Brenneman Elementary's attendance boundary in Buena Park/Uptown please consider voting for Mike Simmons for community rep. Thanks.
From what little I've seen, the LSC's in a whole lot or our schools are far more qualified to be on the CPS board than the sock puppets that we have now. That's why CPS didn't support parent involvement they way they claimed they would. Can't stand the competition and scrutiny.
K @67 – sorry to hear that happened. please know that judge is not a staff member. she snipped at me b/c i didn't hear her the first time asking me about the weather!
mcP @73, thank you for your post and for sharing your experience at McPherson. I am starting to recover.
If you live in the South Loop Elementary school district please vote for community representatives :
Keith D (Ballot #30)
Jos S. (Ballot #28).
We are both community representatives committed to working hard for South Loop Elementary.
Thank you and good luck to all candidates.
@66 we received a robocall yesterday too, that absolutely slammed a candidate running for Amundsen LSC. I was astounded at the tone of the call – it seemed almost slanderous.
#11: Thank You! My son just got into Beaubien. The election judge at Bell (my daughter's school) told me I can vote. So, FYI everyone, if your child just got into a school, but has not attended yet, you can vote.
The candidate statements for Bell were taken down yesterday. Anyone have an opinion there?
72. chicagodad~ITA w/you! Can't wait until we get an elected bd of ed!
@jill: i am a community member future parent), so was just looking at the website. I read the statements but didn't write anything down and didnt notice the notice that they would come down on the 17th unfortunately.
@78 When it comes to schools like Bell (where I voted earlier today!) and other options/RGC's the LSC candidates are an embarrassment of riches. It's pretty hard to go wrong. I think the statements may still be available to view on request, but don't quote me on that. I continue to be amazed at the caliber of people who step up to serve in schools like that.
Thanks @ chicagodad and @Jillwohl.
I'm running for Bell's LSC…. Unfortunately, I'm running to/from two different baseball practices right now, so I don't have the ability to post a link to my candidate statement. But in a nutshell, I have a 4th grader in the Options program, a 2nd grader in the Neighborhood program, and a future Kindergartener. Professionally, I worked for 12 years as a school lawyer. I'd appreciate your consideration…. Thanks!
I'm running for Lane Tech, please feel free to circulate my candidate statement. http://linkerlistening.blogspot.com/
I'm in. Thanks to everyone who cast a vote at D2. During my hiatus, I missed the sense of purpose and camraderie of LSC work, now I'm ready to get crackin!
Mayfair Dad – Congratulations! Can't think of a better person for the job. Thank you for all that you contribute.
I am happy to report that Beaubien LSC has 4 new members!
Happy to report Wildwood LSC looks better than it has in years. The bulldozer is finally gone.
The results are starting to be released on the Welles Park Bulldog site. It's disappointing that the majority of the McPherson LSC is still the same people that have kept the school incredibly mediocre. I was really hoping to see some fresh folks with some new ideas and the chance of a new principal. Maybe in another 2 years….
Anyone know the results for Chappell?
Other than people posting on various forums, is there a place to find out results of the LSC elections? Especially, if you are located in the no man's land that is the Northwest side.
Waters had over 380 people vote and the new slate won!
@89: Do we know who won at Beaubien?
Our school's (Portage Park ES) results were posted on outside doors. My husband didn't win (he got a call last night) but we will continue to attend LSC meetings. We have two new parent members. One spot had been unfilled. If anyone needs to know who won, lmk and I will post the names.
94 – I had to call the school office to find out the results at Stockton. (They were posted in the school.) I didn't win either, but will also continue to be active in my kids' schools and as a community member.
Peirce School results:
Parent reps:
Maria Rodriguez
Marco Rodriguez
Lupe Garcia
Beth Tenney
Jeff Korte
Tony Chavez
Community reps:
Rebecca Eden Eichenlaub
Ed Taylor
I do not know how many people voted, etc.
Does anyone know how to CONTEST election results? I have the form and wonder if it will even matter. Our school had 325 ballots cast and 30 (10 percent) were thrown out for being improperly marked. One of the poll watchers saw the stack and said they contained checkmarks, not Xs, but the intent was clearly there for each candidate. One of our parent spots was a three-vote difference! The election judge was actually SLEEPING during the voting process and half the parents said they were not told to use an X and the signs showing proper ballot markings were not visible (they were to the backs of the people voting).
For contrast, went to Lincoln Park High School today and the signs were posted on the table where you voted and the election judges were telling people no less than three times to make sure to use an X.
Al Gore and the Supreme Court defined voting intent back in 2000. Does anyone think there is a leg to stand on here?
You not only need to show that errors occurred, but you also have to show that the errors probably changed the outcome of the election.
I just made X's but I think the requirement is for 2 lines that touch or cross within the box, so a check mark within the box should not have been discarded if I am right in my recollection. In any event I would definitely check the rules and contest the election based on a sleeping judge, no visibly posted rules and clear intent of the marks being consistent from box to box on each individual ballot. Give the sleeping judge a giant dope slap for me if you get the chance. What a fool! Maybe we should just have to fill in the boxes the way our kids have to bubble in tests…………….
@ 100. If you feel that passionately about it – go for it. Its not like you will rack up thousands of dollars in legal fees, and at least you will sleep better at night knowing you tried. Sleeping judge, lack of signage and clear voter intent = a reasonable case.
Who was the politician in Alaska that won with write-in votes – court upheld if the voter's intent was clear, the name did not have to be spelled 100% correctly, etc. Seems to me a check mark is as clear as an indication of intent as an (x).
We were specifically told NOT to use a check mark because it would make the ballot invalid. They stated it had to be two lines which intersected past each other like a "+" or an "x". It was very clearly stated to us by the judge and at every voting booth.
I voted at Peirce and I didn't notice any signs related to how to fill in the squares nor was I given any direction of how to fill it in, so I actually colored in the squares, no x's or check marks. I'm guessing this means my vote didn't count.
The turnout at Beaubien's LSC election was a record–432 ballots cast! Compared to about 220 in the 2010 election, that's pretty amazing. We also had an impressive number of parent candidates–14.
The results:
Michelle Baert (new)
Norma Castrejon (new)
David Gee (incumbent)
Jon Heller (new)
Sue Kawecki (incumbent)
Sherry Siewerski (incumbent)
Kathleen Renkoziak (incumbent)
Amy Serafin (new)
Congrats to all!
@107: Thanks for the info. That's encouraging. Looking forward to being a part of this community next year.
One thing I have to comment on…the school website was the first interaction I had with Beaubien, and I found it frustrating. First of all, LSC election info should have been front and center over the past few weeks. At Bell, candidate statements could be accessed with a mere click. Also, results were already posted Wednesday evening. By comparison, you go to Beaubien's website and you get the feeling it is neglected. Also, a lot of the areas say "under construction." Just wanted to say something public because I don't know anyone at the school yet and I think they could make much better use of their website.
@108–Thanks for your comment. One of the recent LSC winners (one of the new ones) works on the web site–it was neglected prior to her taking over and she has done an amazing job since then. She is very open to feedback, so I will share yours with her. I agree, it would have been nice to have the LSC info front and center. I have every hope that the school's communication with families and the public will be more of a priority in the future.
@105, Thanks for the clarification! I wonder what the back story is on the rigid requirement for a type of mark and the fact that we only have 5 votes for 5+ candidates. Don't feel like wasting my time asking CPS. Kudos to all who ran, whether you won or not, and to all those who voted as well.
Thanks for this forum, CPSobsessed – it is so critical that there is a space for this type of dialogue. We are all in this effort together, so I am always so thankful to find others that are engaged and invested in our schools. I was a bit surprised by some of the comments about McPherson, my neighborhood school and one that my neighbors and friends are working to support on the journey from a good school to a great school. McPherson has some great resources thanks to strong leadership, involved parents and invested community members including the IB program, Chicago Bulls Fitness Center, new art room, new computers, new multi-media room, small classroom size. We can always use more community and parent volunteers!
The Welles Park Bulldog has posted results for the schools it covered. There was a high turnout in a number of schools as you'll see by the vote totals.
@106 curious1
I also voted at Peirce and found the judges there to be sadly clueless. I also was not given any instruction about how to fill in the ballot form (other than being told "no more than five.") I knew to make an X from what I read here and RYH.
@CLB, #114 THANKYOU for the great link! I'm sending it to as many schools as I can!
has anyone ever heard of the teachers voting on principal candidates? I always heard it's the LSC who choose. a teacher told me LSC picked candidates and teachers voted. ???? any of the Principal Modules 7 & 8 never said teachers vote unless they are LSC members
What do you think?

Acer H5380BD
- HDMI with MHL
- Decent response time
- 144 Hz 3D
- 3000 lumens of brightness
- Only 720p resolution
- There aren't any buttons on the projector itself besides the power button, so you need to do everything via the remote
Acer's H5380BD is great for home entertainment, and its 720p native resolution makes it an inexpensive and great way to bring 3D into your home. With an average 5000 hour lamp life, 3000 lumens of brightness, built-in 2W speaker, and light weight as well as small form factor, this is a powerful and portable projector for video, gaming, film, and more.
Who Is This Projector For?
The Acer H5380BD is for people who consider "regular" television too small, yet don't want to spend huge amount of money to get a massive image. Also, it will work great for those who just wish to project occasional TV shows, games, and movies, perhaps on a wall. The performance of this projector is such that is works perfectly as an inexpensive home theater as long as you are willing to settle for its 720p resolution. If you already have a projector that is more than a couple of years old or is not HD, this would probably be an improvement. Also, if your projector isn't that bad, but is not very bright, then this is definitely great improvement.
Lots of Great Features
This projector is 3D capable; it can accept signals from any device that is HDMI 1.4 compliant. The Acer H5380BD utilizes DLP Link synchronization at a refresh rate of 144 Hz, so it can use many of the inexpensive, high-quality DLP Link glasses available from many manufacturers and brands
DLP Link is an inexpensive and solid implementation of a technology which has a reputation for being pricy and finicky. Its advantages are that it doesn't require an emitter, is not very susceptible to ghosting artifacts or crosstalk, and has affordable brand-agnostic glasses.
Furthermore, this projector has a sharp, bright image with solid black level and loads of shadow detail. Even though this projector features a native 720p resolution, it truly looks amazing when fed native Full HD content from a console or a Blu-ray player.
The projector's 2W mono speaker is not much, but it is more than enough when you are on the road. For the occasions when you need to bring this projector over to your friend's house, an onboard speaker ensures the use of the projector without having to connect an external audio system.
At full power, this model features an expected lamp life of 5,000 hours. This goes up to 6,000 hours in Eco mode, as well as up to 10,000 hours when in Extreme Eco mode. This isn't a user-selectable mode, but a special power-saving mode that this projector switches into if no input signal is selected. It is really useful if you often forget to turn off the projector. However, this model also boasts an automatic shut-off feature.

Aerial Drones with Ears
Deevi, A RR and Misra, P and Balamurali, P (2016) Aerial Drones with Ears. In: Proceedings of the 14th ACM Conference on Embedded Network Sensor Systems CD-ROM, November 14 - 16, 2016, Stanford, CA, USA.Full text not available from this repository. (Request a copy)
Aerial drones (or flying robots) based inspection monitoring is fast turning into an high value asset for applications across sectors. Our focus in this work is to develop the "Ear" or the auditory sensing system of the drone so as to advance it sensing abilities beyond vision (the default external sensor) for it to better serve a wide range of inspection scenarios. However, devising this capability is extremely challenging due to severe acoustic self-interference from its rotor blades. In this work, we investigate the related challenges and overcome some of the initial hurdles by proposing a subspace based denoising algorithm, followed by its application in electricity power distribution systems.

Chris Cherry, the author of the bestselling The Mad Game series of novels presents the Introduction from the final novel in the series – The Third Light.
When I first put pen to paper to write The Mad Game series in April 2013, I had not fully anticipated where the series would end and what characters would emerge and develop in the books. I certainly did not expect the first two novels to be officially in the Top 10 on Amazon and to be classified as bestsellers.
All that I knew for sure was that after discussion with the Royal British Legion, I had committed to writing three novels, specifically to benefit the charity and the work that they do for servicemen and ex-service personnel. I concluded that the importance of the cause would be reason enough to get on with writing the novels, alongside my gainful occupations.
As the characters of William and Odile developed and as I delved further into the recesses of my knowledge and historical experience of the Great War, the closer I felt to the millions of men from all sides, their families and descendants, to the point where I could almost have a conversation with the photographs of the soldiers. On my screen were happy and smiling young men going off in uniform, with proud parents holding immaculate images of their sons and husbands in fresh uniforms. The same happens today of course, it is just the face and uniform that changes. It was the images then and now that impacted on me and I hope this has come through in my writing.
I also decided at the start to invest time and effort in developing a social media platform to share my research photography and to engage readers in the fascinating and moving history of the Great War and the work of the Legion in its many forms. I had not really thought through where it would lead and I have been honestly overwhelmed by the response. I wanted, in this last novel in the series for the Legion, to bring you in to a few of the events that came as a result of the novels.
As you may know, I like riding motorbikes and I like to break the stereotypes of bikers and biking. A motorbike, to me, is the perfect companion on my research trips. We can get almost anywhere, carry a surprising amount of luggage and equipment and get from place to place quickly. That is why William and Henri ride motorcycles and their passion is pretty much mine (author's licence I suppose). But in talking bikes, I have found new friends and stimulated existing ones to think differently about bikes and battlefields. So, in October in 2014, Battlefields on a Bike was founded. Motorcycle tours and a whole new chance to share the truths and history of the world wars. I am looking forward to the future enormously.
But, unexpectedly, I tapped in to a wealth of family history, that has then poured like a river in spring. I have received literally thousands of comments and likes on my various Facebook and web channels. All of them have been with an outpouring of respect and remembrance, stimulated by the stories and the history that I have shared. Some have even taken the wonderful step of booking a battlefield tour (although not yet on motorbikes!) In fact, one reader finished William's Story at eleven in the morning and was on a train to Southampton by three in the afternoon. I have found new friends and a network of readers and followers with one single golden thread running through everything. A sense of Remembrance of the suffering of a generation in the Great War and the catastrophic events leading up to and throughout the World War in 1939. I had not expected to be so immersed in family history, but have loved every single one of the comments and have been privileged to have been part of the story of so many families.
In doing my research, I have also visited the graves of soldiers, relatives of some of my readers. Their stories are universally moving and have of course shaped my stories. In fact, had I used the stories literally, then I would have been challenged for plausibility. One young man was left in No Mans Land for nine days and watched first the Germans and then the British attack almost over his head. Eventually he was rescued by a Scottish battalion, who had relieved his own men.
I have also been sent literally hundreds of photographs, postcards and letters in order to speak with an authentic voice. The language of the time can feel awkward to modern ears, but I strongly felt that it was important to be honest and truthful. The history is moving and shocking enough, without unnecessary embellishment and stretches in plausibility. Indeed, elements of this novel have been tempered as the truth and reality I felt, may be just too distressing and I am not intending to open wounds or to take a deliberate moral or political stance with my writing. These novels are of families, Love and War in times of hardship, fear and oppression.
That said, I have tried to write stories that are based on the truth, with events that are real and recognisable. In doing so, I have come to realise that the citizens of Europe were far more deeply affected than at first I imagined. Apart from the current villagers in places like Bazentin and Longueval living on top of essentially mass graves, the character and shape of France and Belgium is affected to this day. The Belgians that I have spoken to are deeply respectful of the sacrifice and are generous and accommodating, although I do now feel the need for a closure coming and the desire to reclaim their land and history. I must agree with them, there will come a point when the Great War takes its place in history and the mists are too deep to clear completely. I visited the battlefield of Waterloo on my way to Liege during the trip that took me to the Kaiserswerth in Dusseldorf. Of course, the battlefield is small and the scale of the battle was limited, but I could not help wondering when the Great War, with its cemeteries dispersed all over the countryside might be regarded as history past and not history present, if such a thing can be described. It was a sobering thought, even with the scale of destruction and the impact on our communities even to this day.
So I turn now to the final story, The Third Light. The echoes of the Great War die away slowly, leaving a mark on the landscape and on the hearts of the people. That may seem fanciful, but I was present when a Mills bomb (hand grenade) was picked up from a field by a child of six, in all innocence. She threw it away thinking it to be a stone. The pin was pulled, so in all likelihood it was safe, but imagine that it happened in your own garden, or in the local park. Imagine too, an enemy in tanks coming in to your own town or village, driving over and through your garden or park, knocking down the trees and paying no regard to the protests of the people. It is hard to imagine, but it happened then and it is still happening today. How the citizens reacted is a story in itself and I have tried to use the characters that I have created to tell a greater truth through fiction.

University of Steubenville Continues to Fight Obamacare Mandate
University of Steubenville is a Catholic school and is fighting the birth control mandate in the new law.
FOX News reports.
Catholic university to file appeal in fight against ObamaCare mandate
The head of an Ohio Roman Catholic university has promised to appeal a federal judge's decision denying its lawsuit challenging a provision of ObamaCare mandating employer-provided birth control.
"We will not stop fighting this unjust mandate, and we are in this for the long haul," Father Terence Henry, the president of Franciscan University of Steubenville, said in a statement released Friday.
Franciscan University and an association of Michigan Roman Catholic dioceses sued last year, saying the mandate violates religious freedom by requiring a Catholic entity to comply with the rule.
That portion of the federal health care law came under fire from religious groups that object to the use of contraceptives, sterilization and abortion-inducing drugs. In response to the criticism, the Obama administration has been trying to soften the mandate to accommodate religious groups, such as shifting the requirement from the employers to health insurers themselves.
The Justice Department told the court the school and dioceses are protected from the mandate's requirements until at least 2014. It also said the lawsuit wasn't timely because changes were already being made to the regulations to meet the groups' concerns.
U.S. District Judge Algenon Marbley sided with the government, saying the groups couldn't prove they would ever likely suffer the harm they allege. He noted that 15 other federal courts have already ruled similar lawsuits weren't timely and most of those 15 decisions determined the groups filing the lawsuits lacked jurisdiction.

The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA) is a registered charity that is at the heart of accident prevention in the UK and around the world. We promote safety and the prevention of accidents at work, at leisure, on the road, in the home and through safety education.
The origins of RoSPA go back almost 100 years to WW1. The war accelerated the shift to mechanised road transport and the consequent increase in related accidents required action. Throughout the 1920s and 1930s the Society addressed itself primarily to issues of road safety, driver education and pedestrian awareness.
The advent of WW2 made industrial safety a matter of national survival. The Society's activities were given a boost by the endorsement, for the duration, of the Ministry of Labour. Thereafter, industrial safety became one of the Society's major objectives. Poster propaganda has been at the forefront of RoSPA's efforts in promoting safety at work and on the road.
RoSPA has always favoured a "light-touch" approach to safety education, judging that too much emphasis on the gruesome consequences of actions might prove counterproductive. A light humorous tone has always been part of the campaign – to help the medicine go down!
The RoSPA Collection contains many iconic images carefully selected from a recently re-discovered archive of safety posters and artwork, including a wide selection from renowned artists such as Tom Eckersley, Leonard Cusden and the cartoonist George Smith, better known as Gus.

Graham Cluley reports that Evernote has been going through the list of several million e-mail addresses and passwords exposed by the recent Adobe breach, and has been contacting Evernote users whose e-mail addresses appear on that list.
"We compared [the Adobe] list to our user e-mail addresses and found that the e-mail address you used to register for an Evernote account is on the list of exposed Adobe accounts," the Evernote e-mail states. "Evernote has not been compromised and is not connected to this incident, but if you used the same password for Adobe and Evernote, then you should change your Evernote password now."
The e-mail also recommends that users avoid simple passwords, never reuse the same password on multiple sites or services, and never click on "reset password" links in e-mails -- always go directly to the site instead.
Evernote is also advising users to consider setting up two-step verification for additional security.

Carole's story
When the Autism Act came into being we were quietly hopeful that the services that we desperately needed to access for the eldest of our two sons with autism might become a reality. Sadly the Autism Act came into being at the same as the Coalition Government and any hope that we might be able to see a light at the tunnel were quickly dashed.
I had to give up a job that was both well paid and well loved to look after our two sons. I did so without a backwards glance because I love my sons and see my sons as my responsibility. So if they needed caring for, then as their Mother that was my job.
I had no idea how hard caring for my two sons would be with the passing of years, without any support or back up. Looking after children with autism is hard. But caring for an adult who is also visually impaired, has OCD, mental health issues and who is probably nursing a head injury after been hit by a car when he was 11 years old, that no one is remotely interested in, and who has been seen by no one in our Local Authority for the last ten years, simply because he has the wrong diagnosis is really hard.
At the end of last year we received the dreaded Employment Support Allowance 50 questionnaire for our son. His mental health was so fragile that we dare not tell him that the questionnaire had arrived. Filling that questionnaire became a full time job and I became quite obsessive about it. When it was finally complete and I returned the questionnaire I did not sleep for three weeks worrying about the outcome. I really don't think I could have found a way or coped having to help my son through a work capability assessment. When the letter arrived saying that our son was in the support group I thought I would feel better, but I know that eventually we will have to do it all again.
Two weeks ago I found myself telling a doctors receptionist that I was at crisis point and pleaded with her for an appointment with a GP that my son trusts in the hope that they could say something or do something to help my son with his ever increasing levels of anxiety. It's not that they don't know that my sons have autism, they do. But the rules of engagement have changed at our practice, and now regardless of what you have, you have to see whoever is available on that day. I really wish it worked like that for my son but it just does not. After repeating at least 3 times that I was at crisis point I was given an appointment for the next day with a doctor my son had only seen once before. My son failed to keep that appointment as I knew he would.
I am currently waiting to have my thyroid gland removed. I have a multi-nodular goitre that is now making its way towards my vascular system. I have deferred the operation twice.
I can't even sit in our sitting room without my son texting me all of the time about how ill he feels. He does not sleep. His sleep pattern is on a rolling. I am pretty sure that the hospital are losing patience with me. I am also seeing a Counsellor myself. It helps talking to someone about my ever increasing levels of anxiety.
I would love to think that eventually my sons would get the support they both need but in my heart of hearts I know that things are probably going to get even worse. We are living in a time where only those who are deemed useful are invested in.
Unpaid carers are not worth investing in ! why would we be? We give our labour freely because we love those we are caring for. It is a Love that any government should not take for granted.

Harvie Krumpet, 2003, Australia
Director: Adam Elliott
Staring: Geoffrey Rush
"Life is like a cigerret; smoke it to the butt"
(Note- Harvie Krumpet is a short Film so this is a relatively short review)
Sometimes, a film demands empathy from the audience by presenting confronting notions such as death, old age and depression in sad and sympathetic ways. Harvie Crumpet does not do that. This 22 minute film does not romanticise these ideas but merely presents them as what they are: part of life. It's an interest and different approach to film making and I was very impressed.
Harvie Crumpet is the biographical film of a fictitious character who some how always manages to find bad luck. Despite the many tragic occurrences in his life however, Harvie always attempts to "seize the day," and the film explores his many ups and downs in life.
This is a very confronting film. The use of stop animation as appose to traditional cartoon methods employed in Harvie Crumpet allows for a simplistic and raw feeling which perfectly match the unique direction of this film.
I say "unique" because of the way this film tackles some challenging real life issues in an accepting kind of way. Dramatically, film does not encourage you to feel sorry for the many tragic events Harvie encounters and the film does not try to make you feel sad. However because of our general attitudes towards these things, the audience finds that they will feel a strong sense of empathy for Harvie, making the film highly emotive to watch.
The abrupt scene changes an quick changes in characters attitudes and emotion is done in an almost childlike way. Despite that, I think it is a clever cinematic style for this film and allows for us to relate to the characters in such a short space of time.
Geoffrey Rush's narration of this film is excellent. His non-empathetic, almost monotone voice supply's and excellent parallel to the overall feel Adam Elliott attempts to create. He is perfectly casted.
I have never seen a film presented in such a way as Harvie Krumpet is... unique is defiantly the word to describe it. I don't know if these kind of techniques could be incorporated into a feature length film and I don't want to see a movie adaptation of Harvie Krumpet. This probably isn't a brilliant film but incredibly creative and singular, and deserving of all accolades. Whilst I haven't given this a really high mark, it is a really good and interesting film and I marvel in Adam Elliott's achievement.

Competitive Prices
We came across Better Earth products in 2010 and from sample to order we were impressed by the service, product and price. Our company philosophy has always been to conserve and minimise our impact on the environment and Better Earth products definitely have made this possible with the Natural earth friendly range they stock, competitive prices and quality of the product which upholds the high standards of cleaning at our property. I would recommend Better Earth products as an alternative to anyone who is looking for superb cleaning agents that do not harm the environment.

Minimal Impact on the Environment
Because I know all the Better Earth products have a minimal impact on the environment, they form an essential part of my daily cleaning materials for both my office and home. The Dishwashing Liquid is our top seller at the moment with more and more clients commenting on how gentle yet effective it is to use. Its a firm favourite of mine too as I also love the clean fresh citrus aroma!

Care for Your Environment
I LOVE this range! Imagine cleaning your floors with Eucalyptus, Lavender and Thyme??? Rather than toxic, abrasive, deadly, foul smelling detergents that are heavily promoted in daily bombardment from the media? If you care for your environment, and I know that you do, then you will be interested in making a small change that can make a MASSIVE difference.
Owner of Organic Girl
Just Amazing!
We were searching around for a biodegradable, ecofriendly dish-washing liquid for a while already but it was never a match. Either too greasy or just no doing the job properly. And then I found Better Earth dish-washing liquid and its just amazing. Doing the dishes without doing damage to your environment and it smells nice too! and with that I met Kerry and discovered all the other products Better Earth has to offer. What a great find! Cleaning nicely without feeling guilty, and they even do refills, so you don't need to throw away all that plastic! Fantastic!
House on the Hill
The dish washing liquid works just as well as Sunlight but is better as it is environmentally responsible, smells very nice and removes the awful smell of red bait particularly well.
