Children and Families Bill 2013
The Children and Families Bill takes forward the Coalition Government's commitments to improve services for vulnerable children and support strong families. It underpins wider reforms to ensure that all children and young people can succeed, no matter what their background. The Bill will reform the systems for adoption, looked after children, family justice and special educational needs.
The Government is transforming the system for children and young people with special educational needs (SEN), including those who are disabled, so that services consistently support the best outcomes for them. The Bill will extend the SEN system from birth to 25, giving children, young people and their parents/carers greater control and choice in decisions and ensuring needs are properly met.
It takes forward the reform program set out in Support and aspiration: A new approach to special educational needs and disability: Progress and next steps by:
- The Local Offer was first introduced in the Green Paper (March 2011) as a local offer of all services available to support disabled children and children with SEN and their families. This easy to understand information will set out what is normally available in schools to help children with lower-level SEN as well as the options available to support families who need additional help to care for their child."
What will it do?
- The Local Offer will provide parents/carers with information about how to access services in their area, and what they can expect from those services. With regard to Education, it will let parents/ carers and young people know how school and colleges will support them, and what they can expect across the local settings. During the last year, the Local Offer Steering Group has developed questions for schools, and trialled them with a small number of settings.
- There are 14 questions, devised in consultation with parents/carers and other agencies, which reflect their concerns and interests. These will be answered by agencies, schools and colleges to provide information to parents and carers to enable them to make decisions about how to best support their child's needs.
Here is our SEND report. This gives you a wealth of information about the support we provide here at Ball Green Primary School. It informs you about what to do if you have concerns regarding your child's progress and the support the school can offer.

San Francisco 49ers
49ers eying healthy Arik Armstead to shoulder load as primary pass rusher
Former 49ers first-round draft pick Arik Armstead said Wednesday he's feeling healthy again after having surgery on a shoulder issue that's bothered him since his playing days at Pleasant Grove High School.
Armstead said he's dealt with a torn labrum for years and that his left shoulder would routinely pop out of joint. That happened in last year's training camp and throughout the early part of the season. He went on injured reserve following the 49ers' Nov. 6 loss to the New Orleans Saints and had surgery shortly thereafter.
"There comes a time when you're trying to play through an injury, but your shoulder keeps popping out in the middle of a game," Armstead said. "It's like, 'What are you going to do?' You've got to fix it."
Armstead is an interesting chess piece for new defensive coordinator Robert Saleh as he implements a 4-3 scheme this year.
The big defensive lineman said he's been lining up at several positions along the front, most prominently at the so-called "Leo" spot on the right side that is the defense's primary pass rusher.
Armstead is 6-foot-7 and nearly 300 pounds, far larger than the 255 pounders that have played that role in Seattle, for instance. But he has good movement skills for someone of his stature and his height and long arms might make him a difficult assignment for opposing left tackles.
Armstead did not take part in any of the team sessions of Wednesday's minicamp because he is still recovering from his procedure. He ostensibly has been lining up at the "Leo" position in walk-through sessions.
If the 49ers are eying Armstead there when the season begins, that might create an opening at left defensive end – in the team's base defense – for Stanford's Solomon Thomas, the 49ers' possible first-round pick according to numerous mock drafts. Tank Carradine has manned that position in the 49ers' ongoing minicamp.
The 49ers have the No. 2 overall pick in Thursday's opening round.
Bowman's back – Nearly seven months since he tore his left Achilles' tendon, NaVorro Bowman was a full participant in the team's practice.
Bowman, 28, lined up as the middle linebacker beside newcomer Malcolm Smith, who is playing weak-side linebacker. Bowman missed all of the 2014 season following a multi-ligament knee injury, then started every game in 2015. Last year he started the first four games before going down with the Achilles tear on Oct. 4 against Dallas.
Without Bowman, the 49ers finished with the worst run defense in the league and the worst in franchise history.
Safety watch – Jimmie Ward is playing free safety during this week's minicamp while another former first-round pick, Eric Reid, is playing strong safety.
Reid, who played at LSU, said he was rooting for another LSU safety, Jamal Adams, to be taken early in the draft – even if it's to the 49ers at pick No. 2.
"We'd have three DBs that went to LSU," he said, noting that Rashard Robinson, a fourth-round pick a year ago, is playing cornerback. Robinson had the best defensive play Wednesday with a leaping interception of a deep pass that was intended for receiver Rashard Ross. Robinson and Dontae Johnson were the team's first-string cornerbacks.
Standing up in '17 – Reid said he and outside linebacker Eli Harold, who both knelt during the national anthem last season alongside quarterback Colin Kaepernick, do not plan to do so this year.
"Our goal was open the floor to conversation," Reid said. "I believe we achieved that goal."
A free agent this year, Kaepernick remains unsigned. Reid said Kaepernick's anthem stance in 2016 likely is the reason no team has hired him.
"It's sad," Reid said. "(He's) doing something to better the world. I mean, the guy got a plane sent to Somalia to help with the famine there. He's been doing things that if it were anybody else in a different situation, without the anthem, they would be praising him and giving him awards for it. So I just think it's sad that this is the situation. But I'm rooting for him. I'm praying for him."
Kaepernick has notified teams that he will not protest during the anthem this year.

Date: Wed, 15 Apr 1998 20:46:03 -0500 (EST) From: Dug Song
Subject: Y2K and the eagle talon >Date: Wed, 15 Apr 1998 20:18:52 -0400 >From: Josh Rivel >To: firstname.lastname@example.com >Subject: GeeK: interesting implications of Y2K non-compliance I'm on a mailing list related to Eagle Talons/Mitsubishi Eclipses/Galant VR4's anyway, it seems the code in the ECU's for the 1st generation of those cars (1990-1994) has an interesting problem with Y2K compliance. The following excerpt was written by Todd Day who is the list moderator, and ECU (Engine Control Unit, aka car computer) wizard. [All you guys with 1989-1994 DSMs might want to take another car to the parties on Y2K eve... or arrange for a tow truck. 1995-98 ECUs seem to be Y2K compliant, as far as I can tell (an OBDII requirement). If you don't want to be seen at the party without your DSM, for $100, I can fix your ECU so the overflow problem won't happen until 2089. I've set my ECU to the bewitching hour, and the results aren't pretty. The overflow causes a mask bit to be set which prevents the spark plug in cylinder 3 from firing, but doesn't stop the fuel flow. The fuel flow in that cylinder actually doubles due to a side-effect of the spark bug. This creates some pretty spectacular backfires, I must say... One hell of a way to welcome in the new century. Oh yeah - this bug happens at December 31st, 1999 at midnight (or January 1st, 2000, depending on how you look at it) in the CENTRAL time zone. That's because the cars were all built in Illinois. So for you East Coasters, it will occur at 1am, and West Coasters will experience it at 10pm. -talon mgr] Josh Rivel Senior Network Engineer Digital Telemedia, Inc. http://home.dti.net/jrivel


text: Well it may be time to look for another dump truck or build one. I've only had Davis dump bodies because that's what came with the truck. I have no complaints , these have held up for what we do but just getting some feelers for other brands like Ox or any others. I know you get what you pay for especially the Ox Bodies. Those are some beefy beds ! Any thoughts ??

Updated June 24, 2019 You're probably already familiar with the abilities of Windows Media Player 12 to play digital music, videos and other types of multimedia files on your PC. You can also use Microsoft's popular jukebox application to stream songs from websites rather than having to download them first. There's a feature in WMP 12 that allows you to open the URL of a song located on any network, be it on your home network or the Internet, in order to stream the contents. This capability is particularly useful for listening to songs when you don't necessarily want to download them—especially if they are large files or you're running low on hard drive space (or both!) How to Open a Song URL in Windows Media Player 12 To stream an audio file using WMP 12: If you're not already in Library view mode, press CTRL + 1. Click the File menu tab at the top of the screen and then select the Open URL option. If you don't see the menu bar, press CTRL + M to enable it. Now use your Web browser to find a free MP3 download on the Internet that you'd like to stream. You'll need to copy its URL to the Windows clipboard—usually, the best way is to right-click the download button and then choose to copy the link. Go back to Windows Media Player 12 and right-click on the text box on the Open URL dialog screen. Left-click Paste and then click the OK button. Your chosen song should now stream by means of WMP 12. To keep a list of songs that you'd like to stream in the future, create playlists so you don't have to keep copying links from your Web browser and pasting them into the Open URL screen.

First things first, let's talk about Friday and Saturday in Talkeetna. The weather was very nice, with cold mornings and frost to remind us that winter is just around the corner, but lovely days and clear enough nights so that we could see some amazing displays of the northern lights. Elaine and I stayed at a wonderful place, the Talkeetna Chalet B&B, which I highly recommend to anyone visiting Talkeetna. On Friday night, I attended the beer dinner at the Denali Brewpub/Twister Creek Restaurant. It was some amazing food, paired with some outstanding beers and meads. Here are some photos of the various courses:
|First course
|Second Course
|Third Course
|Happy folks at the beer dinner
|Denali Brewpub Tap List
Check out the menu in last week's blog to read a description and to see what was paired with with. Sorry I didn't get a picture of the dessert course, but I was pretty well gone by that point! Sassan Mossanen and the rest of the team at Denali Brewing Company really outdid themselves with this one.
The next afternoon, the brewfest itself took place between 2 and 6 PM in the Sheldon Arts Hangar. I'd never been inside it before, but it's a very cool space to have any sort of event. Because the weather was nice, they were able to open the big hangar door, so while all the breweries were set up inside, the fest goers were able to spread outside while they enjoyed their samples. Besides unlimited pours of the various beers, wines, and meads on offer, there was also excellent cheese and charcuterie on offer as well, along with bread, fruit, and vegetable trays.

|Charcuterie from Mat-Valley Meats
|Getting the fest started in the Sheldon Arts Hangar
As for the beers on offer, I had a couple of very interesting sours. Broken Tooth Brewing Company was pouring its Silvertip Sour (ABV 8.4%, 25 IBUs), which was a saison made from a sour mash, and Sleeping Lady Brewing Company was pouring its Bramble On Tart Raspberry Ale (4.5% ABV), also kettle soured. I enjoyed them both, along with many other great beers from the rest of the breweries in attendance. The only disappointment was the absence of both HooDoo Brewing and the Seward Brewing Company, both of which had to cancel. In summary, it was an excellent fest, very well-run and highly enjoyable to attend. I'm glad I finally made it and look forward to attending again in the coming years.
While I was in Talkeetna, I stopped by Denali Brewing Company's production brewery at Mile 2 on the Talkeetna Spur Road. Every time I visit this brewery, it seems to be undergoing another expansion. When I stopped in May, the brewery was about to receive three new 240-barrel fermenters, a silo to hold its 2-row pale malt, and a silo to hold its spent grain for pick-up by local farmers. When I stopped by this weekend, all those new addition were in place and the form was laid out to pour the slab for a huge new packaging hall. Here are some photos:
|Spent grain silo
|The forms for the packing hall slab with three 240-barrel fermenters in background
|The new 2-row pale malt silo
|The taproom entrance, unfortunately closed on Saturday morning...
Congratulations to Denali Brewing Company on its rapid and sustained growth.
Speaking of growth, three more new breweries have either opened or are about two. Icy Strait Brewing in Hoonah apparently opened back in August. It has sifted to its fall hours and is open from 4 to 8 PM every day. Here's a picture of the taproom from the brewery's Facebook page:
|Photo courtesy of Icy Strait Brewing
Finally, Odd Man Rush Brewing is holding its Grand Opening on this Friday, September 25th, from 5 to 8 PM. It has been holding some soft openings and initial reports are very positive, so check it out if you are in Eagle River this Friday.
However, as new breweries open, others are shutting down for the winter. Saturday, 9/19, was the last day for the Seward Brewing Company this year. Owner Erik Slayter tells me they will be doing some projects in the brewhouse over the winter, so I'm looking forward to seeing how things have changed next spring.
Also getting ready to pack it in for the winter is 49 State Brewing Company. Prospectors Pizzeria is closing after tonight and 49th State's last day will be Saturday, October 3rd. They will be holding an early Halloween Party on that date, including big prizes for the best costumes.
This Saturday, September 26th, Fairbanks area beer lovers will be able to ride the Hoo Doo Choo Choo, a trip from Fairbanks to Nenana and back, while enjoy light fare from Lavelle's Bistro and good beers from HooDoo Brewing.
Of course, the original Alaska Railroad Beer Train will be running on October 10th. The annual Great Alaska Beer Train will be running from Anchorage to Portage and back. This train ride costs $169 for appetizers, music, and six half-pints of Glacier BrewHouse beers.

Also on October 10th, the 5th Annual Bodega-Fest will be taking place from 3 to 8 PM at the Aviation Heritage Museum. Tickets are $35 and can be purchased online in advance. There will be live music from Moonicorn, The Dirty Hands, Superfrequency, The High Pets, and Big Fat Buddha. There will be food available from local vendors. On Wednesday, October 7, the 2nd Annual Bodega-Fest Beer Dinner will be held at Kinley's, starting at 6 PM. There will be five course, each paired with two beers, plus a greet beer, all for $75. Call 644-8953 to make reservations.
Eagle River Brewfest will be held as a fundraiser for the Eagle River Boys and Girls Club. It will be at the Eagle River Elks Lodge from 6:30 to 9:30 PM. Tickets are $50 advance purchased here, or $60 at the door.

It's also Oktoberfest season, and breweries around the state are celebrating in their own ways. King Street Brewing Company will be celebrating Oktoberfest this Saturday, September 26th from 1 to 8 PM. For $25 you get 36 oz of authentic German-style beer, served in a commemorative 0.5 liter glass stein, and two German bratwurst sausages, along with traditional side dishes. Here are the beers that will be on offer, along with their descriptions:
German Bock – This dark lager with notes of grape and plum was released in February. It has been aging nicely in our cellar. The fuller flavor of the Bock is just perfect for these recent days that seem to have just a hint of chill in the air.
German Helles – Released as our Golden lager early spring and quickly sold out. Good thing we saved one keg for the party! It is the perfect beer to quaff down with a spicy sausage. This is our last keg and once it's gone…you'll have to wait until next summer to enjoy it again.
Bavarian Hefeweizen - Premium German wheat and Pilsner malts burst with flavor and perfectly compliment the rich clove and banana aromas in this authentic German Wheat Beer. Unfiltered and perfect for this occasion…pass the rye bread and mustard please!
German WeizenBock – A dark and malty version of a strong German wheat beer, this beer comes in at 7.4% ABV. We brewed this beer in 2014 and dug a keg of this exceptional brew out of our cellar just for this celebration!
Imperial Hefeweizen – The first beer from of a new Imperial Series of brews from King Street, this strengthen version of our Bavarian Hefeweizen has been given a healthy dose of New World hops for an unparalleled strength of flavor. 8.0% ABV.
HooDoo Brewing in Fairbanks celebrated the traditional start of Oktoberfest last Saturday in the traditional way, by having the mayor of Fairbanks tap a cask of Oktoberfest lager.

"Where the F@#$ did summer go?!?! I can not believe we are already back in to fall, and with that note we have this year's release of Termination Dust coming out at 5:00pm today. I fully admit we had seen Termination Dust sticking around on Monday, however we weren't quite ready in the packaging area to put the Termination Dust out there, this is almost 6 weeks earlier than last year's release, but hopefully this is a sign that we are going to get some good snow and we can get Head Brewer Lee back up on the slopes! The rest of us will be comforted by this 13% Belgian Style Barley Wine aged in Oak Barrels. It was an award winner last year, and we look forward to another great winter of TD keeping us happy and cozy by the fireside.
We finally got to release the Big Fish Home Brew Competition Winner last night at Humpy's Great Alaskan Alehouse. We had some waiting to do as we needed Spruce Tips to be collected at just the right time. Just the Tip Spruce Tip Ale was brewed with Josh and Sean in a summer heat and came out as the perfect fall beer. Crisp and warm with a hint of fruit from the tips. We will have this available around town as well as on nitro fairly soon.
On October 1st we will be proudly attending the March of Dimes Signature Chef event at Den'aina as we release a beer created just for the Alaska March of Dimes. Toklat Hoppy Golden Ale Aged in Chardonnay Barrels was brewed to go in a very special bottle with the label art created by local artist Katie Sevigny. There will be a VIP tasting of the beer prior to the main event, a tasting during the event and an opportunity for the attendees to win the original artwork. Bottles will be available for sale on October 2nd at The Loft and a portion of all sales will go to the March of Dimes. http://www.marchofdimes.org/alaska/events/events.html.
As the guys were pouring Toklat in to the Chardonnay barrels they realized they had a few to spare, so they filled the rest with a round of Midnight Sun Golden Ale (formerly Kolsch) and a small batch will be released next week at the brewery. The flavor is amazing on this guy, with a light time in the barrels, the oak comes through without overwhelming!"
Darcy also mentioned a special upcoming event:
"Finally in October, on Saturday the 24th, we will pair up with Anchorage Waterways Council to do another round of Brews and Bites. This is the only private tasting session we do in the brewery and we go deep in the cellar to find some fun stuff. Tickets are not yet available, but as soon as they are we will share the link. They sold out pretty quick last year."
Sounds like a great time, so mark your calendars and get your tickets early.
Finally, way out in Whitehorse in the Yukon Territory, it appears that newcomer Winterlong Brewing Company is having trouble keeping up with the demand for its beer, something many craft breweries around Alaska can relate to. In the latest post on the brewery website, the husband & wife owners explain that while they are currently completely out of beer, they have just taken delivery of enough new fermenters to double Winterlong's capacity.
Until Next Time, Cheers!

Ryan Anderson's How Now Shall We Bake? is the best commentary so far on how Christians might respond to the hubbub surrounding the impending clash of Christian wedding service providers, gay couples, and government action. Anderson is most recently responding to Kristen Powers and Jonathan Merritt's new article in opposition to conservative Christianity and selective reading of the Bible.
Anderson is concise, deeply consistent in logic, and practically helpful. I commend his writing to any Christian looking for a way to process through the newspaper clippings.
Anderson's conclusive paragraph is most illuminating on one helpful way to view the conflict:
Were a gay baker to object to providing a cake for a church-sponsored event celebrating biblical marriage, I'd defer to a gay baker's right to refuse, and respectfully seek out business elsewhere. He should be willing to serve Christians generally. He should not be coerced into providing food and drink for celebrating what his conscience forbids. That's what it means to live in a free society. The state shouldn't force the baker to provide a cake for a perspective that he or she vehemently disagrees with. In the same way, an African American who owns a t-shirt company shouldn't be forced to make a t-shirt for a KKK rally. Imagine the stifling harm done to a society where a sign company owned by a gay man would be forced to print the heinously offensive, gospel-denying neon placards of the Westboro Baptist Church. That is no longer a free society. When companies are free to contract according to their conscience, the products of a free society—decency, respect, and civic pluralism—are cultivated.
Bottom Line: If the government should ultimately decide that they can force service providers to do business despite their conscious objections, this will be a huge score for any nerdy middle schooler who has ever asked a pretty girl on a date (and who has been rejected) [1. Disclosure: I was that middle school band nerd. But I am over it and harbor no current resentment — I swear]. If the government rules in such a way, then they would communicate (unfortunately) that the only likely reason that any beautiful girl would object to any nerdy boy's advances is because she is intolerant. And intolerance is now the worst possible thing in the world.
Get ready band nerds. Your time is coming.

There is no doubt that baseball is one of the popular ball games not just in the US but also in many other parts of the globe. It is a good type of sport that you should play and know more about. If you intend to learn baseball, you should strive harder to know and understand its fundamentals.
Baseball is considered a bat and ball game that is almost similar to the equally popular English Cricket. In history, baseball is said to be developed in the 18th century in England. English immigrants brought this game to the US, where its popularity shot many folds and spread to other countries. The sport has become part of the well-celebrated modern games.
There are two teams that are competing in each game. Each team is required to have at least nine players. The groups take turns in playing as the batting and the pitching team. Batters play by attempting and succeeding to hit the ball and then advancing to the bases without being hit by the ball, which could be caught by the infielders or pitchers. The pitching team's goal is to catch the hit ball and try to 'arrest' batters or runners who are making their way to go to bases (there are four of them, including the home base, the last destination). Failure to do so would make the batting team's players safe.
The scoring system is quite simple. The batter needs to hit the ball and then go to the four bases while the pitching team strives to get hold of the ball. When he succeeds in completing the rounds of all bases without being chased or out, there is a score for the batting team. It is also possible that there are four players of the batting team occupying all bases at the same time. Every player should move to advance to the next base as soon as the ball is hit by a batter.
Home run is what every batter is aiming at when playing baseball. This occurs when the batting team players are allowed to run to the bases without any obstruction. Through hitting a home run, any batter could score up to four runs for the team. The pitching team should always aim to prevent the batting team to stage or complete a home run.
As in any other ball game, the objective of each team should be to outscore the other. An inning is counted when both teams have taken turns to bat once. In a game, there should be nine innings. The team having the greater score after the set is completed is declared the winner. To learn baseball, you should fully comprehend the scoring system first and foremost. It is futile to master batting and running to bases without truly understanding the game mechanics. By this, you could surely tell that baseball is a fun, physical, and exciting bat and ball game. No wonder more and more people are getting hooked to it.

I planned to use these for my 4-8 PE classes for indoor soccer. They are better than using a regular soccer ball but they feel a bit heavy so I'm only using them with my 7-8 class. Younger kids would need something a little lighter and softer.

This is a great product alternative to inflatable soccer balls.We use them at the jail for recreation for the detainees they are way better than inflatable balls because when they get kicked into the razor wire they do not deflate so we can keep using them over and over.

Max Planck's Cosmic HarmoniumNovember 14, 2013
Peter Pesic, Musician-in-Residence, St. John's College, Santa Fe, NM; Associate of the Department of Physics, Harvard University
In 1893, Max Planck, newly appointed professor of physics in Berlin, was seconded to study the department's Eitz harmonium, capable of dividing an octave into 104 steps. An accomplished musician, Planck learned to play this new instrument and used it to devise experiments in musical temperament, the only experiments he ever conducted in a career devoted to theoretical work. Planck's "experiments" consisted of short musical compositions testing whether or not singers would revert to "natural" (just) tuning as opposed to the equal-tempered scale in common use. His surprising results contradicted his expectations and those of his teacher Hermann von Helmholtz: the habit of equal temperament was stronger than the pull of "natural" temperament. The following year (1894), the "black year" of German physics, left Planck the only surviving professor in his department through the premature deaths of Heinrich Hertz and August Kundt. Planck then turned to the problem of blackbody radiation, for which his musical experiments prepared him by alerting him to the power of habitual assumptions as well as by providing him the detailed example of a harmonium with tunable resonators, comparable to Hertzian oscillators. The modes of electromagnetic waves in a cavity have many analogies with the problems of tuning and temperament Planck had just studied. His investigations of universal "natural" temperament led directly to his work proposing a new "natural" tuning of atomic resonators, from which Planck drew the consequence of a truly universal "natural" system of cosmic units.

Bluegrass Brunch @ Dakota Tavern
249 Ossington, at Dundas W, 416-850-4579. This charmingly retro saloon in a west-side basement may be known more as a pub than for its grub, but every Sunday morning it's home to one of the rockin'-est brunches in town. The happening honky-tonk dishes up substantial all-you-can-eat platters at communal tables to the obbligato of live bluegrass. Warning: dancing toddlers in Ramones T-shirts in attendance. Best: to start, orange and grapefruit juices; good coffee-shop joe; obligatory fruit salad; perfectly fluffy scrambled eggs strewn with fresh tomato; unusually meaty bacon; crisply griddled home fries; unlimited stacks o' flapjacks with maple syrup; friendly, slightly scattered service (hey, it's Sunday morning!).

Craft Burger
573 King W, at Portland, 416-596-6660. If you've ever been to the Burger Shoppe, you know what to expect at this hip spin on Harvey's: quality, never-frozen beef topped with quality fixin's in a retro upmarket atmosphere. And a lineup. The reason? Owner Mustafa Yusuf co-founded the Queen East Shoppe before having it his way here. Best: 6-ounce Ontario AAA ground chuck patties on regulation sesame seed buns topped with the likes of avocado and blue cheese (Craft Bleu) or mushrooms and mild roasted garlic mayo (Craft); skinny hand-cut fies (warning: pre-salted) straight up on the side or as poutine layered with gravy and locally sourced cheese curds.

Best: from a seasonal and mostly organic card, signature frites topped poutine-style with salty smoked pork hock, Thunder Oak gouda and beef jus; slow-roasted pulled pork shoulder sandwiches on house-baked ciabatta spread with wild leek mayo; frothy spring asparagus soup dolloped with crème fraîche; organic greens topped with sliced asparagus and heirloom radishes in creamy, tart sorrel vinaigrette; to finish, outstanding lemon tarts in buttery pastry.

105 McCaul, at Dundas W, 416-979-6763. This self-described "modern Japanese eatery" in the Village by the Grange sets itself apart from virtually every other Japanese joint in the GTA by not serving sushi.

Sony Pictures has acquired the spec "Eternal" with Victoria Aveyard rewriting the spec she originally wrote.
"Divergent" producer Pouya Shabazian, Benderspink and Michael Costigan (pictured) are on board to produce.
Plot details are being kept under wraps, but the film will involve a modern re-interpretation of the Greek god mythology.
The project gives Sony an original property with which the studio can build its own universe with franchise potential.
Hannah Minghella and Rachel O'Connor will oversee for the studio.
Aveyard is repped by Benderspink and New Leaf Literary & Media and her novel "The Red Queen" is currently in development at Universal.

When you have a Zane Grey story, you have a tale of early American pioneers that is rich with color, well-developed characters, and a thrill a minute. And when you team two of Hollywood's finest leading actors, you are in for a really good hour of entertainment. This tale teams a tall, cool drink of water hunk Randolph Scott with the sexy Sally Blane, member of one of Hollywood's acting family dynasties. Grab your white kernel popcorn and get ready for a story of life, love, sacrifice and survival in the American old west.
Here's the set-up for this Zane Grey adventure:
Two men settle in a valley with mountains on either side. One of them has a young daughter; the other has a young son. The daughter's parents are killed when she is very young, and Judy is raised by her father's partner, Adam Naab. Naab plans for his son to marry Judy when they are old enough, and Judy seems to be happy with this. But we need to get a bad guy into this mix, so we next meet rancher and gambling hall owner Judson Holderness. Now Holderness is an amoral fellow that would spit on his mother's grave if it would profit him. He is determined to own everything in this area, and Naab's ranch is the only thing keeping him from total domination of the area. Fortunately for him, Naab's boy likes to gamble, and is very good at losing. So Holderness has Naab pay off his gambling debts by stealing some of his dad's cattle every once in a while. All of a sudden the thought of Judy marrying him doesn't sit too well with us. Ahhh, but wait . . . we still haven't met our leading man Randolph Scott. One day he enters the Holderness saloon and gambling hall, and lets them know that he is a surveyor looking for the Naab ranch. Old man Naab wants his land surveyed and registered so that Holderness will not be able to get it from him by any trickery.
Well, there are a bunch of juicy details that I'm leaving out . . . you will enjoy them as they unfold. Anyway, push comes to shove on Judy's wedding day to corrupt son Naab. Judy is in love with Jack (Randolph Scott), and runs away to her mountain cabin, leaving the Naab boy at the altar, so to speak. But at the cabin is Holderness and his henchmen. They plan on descending down to the Naab ranch the morning after the wedding and shooting it out with the Naabs, and taking over the ranch. So Judy walks right into their midst when she arrives at the cabin, and is captured and held by the outlaw Holderness folk. And I won't tell you exactly what happens next, but Jack can't save her, because the Naab boy just shot him. So both of our 'good guys' are in a mighty heap of trouble, and it will take a master story teller the likse of Zane Grey to bring this one to a happy ending.

Manufacturing activity picked up slightly in July, helped by higher production.
The latest flash reading of the manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index from Markit Economics came in at 53.8.
Economists had estimated a reading of 53.6 for July, unchanged from the 20-month low recorded in June, according to Bloomberg.
Some respondents to Markit's survey for the index reported stronger demand from clients. Others said the strong dollar is dampening export demand, and so they're doubling their efforts domestically.
Chris Williamson, Markit's chief economist, said in the release: "Companies saw output and order book growth regain a little momentum at the start of the third quarter, but the overall pace of expansion was nevertheless the second-weakest seen since the government shutdown of 2013."
"Manufacturing has been stuck in a lower gear in recent months compared to the strong expansion seen through much of last year, linked to weak exports and uncertainty about the economic outlook at home and abroad."
Here's the latest chart of the index, which rose a bit in July:

10 Tips for Improving Child Pedestrian Safety
At the beginning of most our lives, we share two fundamental desires: learning and movement. In fact, most babies take their first steps when they are less than a year, and are walking well by the time they are 14 or 15 months. Before you know it, kids are not just walking but running, jumping, skipping and you name it – any other physical gymnastics that most of us adults find exhausting just to look at!
As kids seem almost tireless at times, they can actually be quite vulnerable – particularly when they are outside near streets and traffic. Yes, they are full of energy, but they also sometimes lack judgment when it comes to walking or riding their bicycling safely.
That's why through the Walk This Way program, FedEx and Safe Kids are promoting International Walk to School Day, which takes place Wednesday, October 9. The program teaches children to learn safe walking skills. FedEx volunteers will be on hand at some of the Safe Kids events taking place in schools around the country to speak to children about pedestrian safety tips, lead a "walking school bus" of pedestrian students to school and pass out reflective items that help increase visibility of young walkers. At some of the events, volunteers will use FedEx trucks to simulate real street environments, showing students the importance of driver visibility and pedestrian awareness.
However, at FedEx, we also know that teaching children is just one part of helping to keep kids safe. Safe driving is critical to keeping our communities –and our children – safe, and FedEx is proud to be a champion for safe driving for 40 years. In fact, with a fleet of more than 90,000 delivery trucks and vehicles, we know that all of us have a role to play – whether you own a car, bike or just a good pair of shoes.
Here are 10 steps to help improve child pedestrian safety, whether you're walking or driving:
1. Sidewalks and Crosswalks: Talk to your kids about how to be safe while walking. It's always best to walk on sidewalks or paths and cross at street corners, using traffic signals and crosswalks. Most injuries happen mid-block or someplace other than intersections. If there are no sidewalks, walk facing traffic and as far away from vehicles as possible.
2. Be Visible: If you're walking, wear light colors, retro-reflective material, and/or a flashlight to make sure drivers can see you.
3. Lead by Example: When you're walking on the sidewalk, in parking lots or in the street with children, put your mobile devices away. It will improve your concentration and set a good example for children.
4. Pedestrians Put Devices Down: It's never too early to teach kids the right way to cross the street: have them put down their devices and then look left, right, and left again when crossing the street.
5. Accompany the Young Ones: Always accompany children under 10 when they cross the street. Judging speed and distance is more difficult for children under age 10.
6. Eye Contact: Make eye contact with drivers and watch for cars that are turning or backing out of parking spaces or driveways-and remind kids to do the same.
7. Drivers Put Devices Down: Put devices down when you are driving. If we put our devices away, our kids are more likely to do the same.
8. Aware at Night: Be especially aware during the night or bad weather when it's more difficult to see. Drivers especially must keep a lookout and slow down if visibility is low.
9. Crosswalk Caution: Always approach crosswalks slowly and be prepared to stop.
10. Watch for Pedestrians When Turning: When making turns, wait until there's a gap in foot traffic, and allow people to cross safely.
You see, the truth is while we may start our lives full of learning and movement, many of us adults slow down the older we get (that's a perfectly acceptable part of aging!). However, while we may be driving more and walking less, we should never stop learning how to keep ourselves – and the children in our communities – safe.
What an appropriate topic for the season with Halloween just around the corner. Although the emphasis here is safety in walking to school, this lesson extends to neighborhood child safety in general. FedEx is indeed concerned about the community in its parterships with Walk This Way and Safe Kids— an extension of this can be awareness of FedEx delivery employees also looking out for child safety as they deliver and serve their customers. Great job, Ms. Flenorl!
The 10 tips to kids being safe while using cross walks, is helpful for any mom who wants information on how to help theri children learn about safety and danger, and this explains it. Thank you to Rose Flenorl for sharing!
Having a son that walks to school and observing how drivers and children are often distracted despite the many signs and flashing lights in school zones(expect when the cops are visible), FedEx is commended for its efforts to promote Child Pedestrian Safety! Excellent tips Ms. Flenorl!

Path of Angels
Book One: Michael
There is only one path.
Born mortal along with his three brothers, Michael is an Archangel with a specific role–to hunt fallen angels and send them back to Hell. He is determined in his mission, never straying from his appointed path, until he meets Lake Divine, and discovers there may be more to his beliefs than blind duty.
But Lake is not who he seems. Offspring of a human and a fallen angel, a Nephilim, Lake must choose his own destiny–give in to the coldness and embrace the dark, or seek the light and rise above the sins of his father.
Two paths lay before them, but only one has the potential to destroy them both.
Michael is the exciting first book in the Path of Angel Series, a new adult urban fantasy.

The path is lost.
With Michael gone, the mantle of leadership falls to Zadekiel. In this time of darkness, with tempers running short, Zade struggles to guide his brothers. Hope comes in the form of a green haired woman with a unique gift. She represents a way back to the path they lost when Michael abandoned them.
Zephyr fills books with cryptic poetry, a powerful compulsion, which is more a curse than a blessing. With no control over her strange ability, she struggles to live a normal life. When she meets Zade, he insists her ability is a gift from God. Reluctantly, she agrees to join the cause–it's hard to dispute a man with wings.
The path is found, but one question remains. Will it lead to further darkness?

They must fight to stay on the path.
Joe embraces his divine duty without fear or hesitation, always ready for the next battle against the fallen angels. But the path has never been easy. With Michael's return, they uncover a truth more deadly than they ever imagined. Their enemy plans to unleash the devil himself, Lucifer. Help comes in the form of an unlikely alley: a fallen angel.
Mariangela is trying to make amends by protecting the child she is carrying. After blindly following Lucifer in the rebellion, her misguided allegiance came with a price: banishment from Heaven. Now, as she strives for forgiveness in the human world, she must fight to prevent Uriel, a fallen archangel, from using her child to free evil from Hell.
The path becomes a battleground, one which may already be lost.

Book Four: Gabriel
The end is in sight.
To stop Uriel from freeing Lucifer, Gabriel and his brothers must fall and go to Hell. It is a sacrifice Gabriel is not entirely ready to make. Will he fight alongside his brothers or forge his own path? There is only one choice.
Alexander doesn't want to help Uriel nor does he trust him, but the angel has promised him a better life. He swore to protect Charlie, and he'll do whatever it takes. When he meets the archangels and learns the depth of Uriel's lies, he understands the true meaning of sacrifice. If there's any hope of stopping Lucifer from being freed, Alexander, Charlie, Zephyr and Lake will have to get to Hell and help Gabriel and his brothers in the fight against Uriel.
The path is finally ending, but the price may be too high.

Cleo deLancey rated book one 4.5 stars.
I liked the author's character development, especially of Michael, Lake and Lake's mother. They evoked my emotions and had me cheering for Lake, the underdog. The storyline had nice flow and was easy to follow. I enjoyed this book and would recommend it.

There was a host of encouraging news in the National Foreclosure Report for February released by CoreLogic this morning. Foreclosures, the foreclosure inventory, and the pipeline clearing ratio all posted improving numbers. At the same time the numbers of lender owned properties (REOs) and serious delinquencies were up compared to January figures.
There were 65,000 completed foreclosures in February, 1,000 fewer than in January. In February 2011 completed foreclosures numbered 71,000. During the 12 months ending in February there were 862,000 foreclosures nationwide, an average of 71,800 per month. Of the top 100 core-based statistical areas (CBSAs) tracked by CoreLogic, 61 had lower foreclosure rates than one year earlier.
There were 1.4 million homes in the process of foreclosure - the foreclosure inventory - in February compared to 1.5 million in February, 2011 and 1.4 million in January 2012. These figures represent 3.4 percent of all homes with a mortgage in January and February 2012 and 3.6 percent in February, 2011. Mark Fleming, chief economist for CoreLogic said that even though the pace of foreclosures is down, the inventory continues to decrease partially because distressed real estate sales (i.e. short sales) are increasing. "With the spring buying season upon us, the inventory may decline further as the pace of distressed-asset sales rises along with the rest of the housing market."
"In February, more than 60 major markets saw a decrease in their foreclosure rates compared to a year ago," said Anand Nallathambi, president and CEO of CoreLogic. "This combined with faster REO-clearing rates, better employment news, and continued historically low interest rates are all positive signs of improvement in the housing economy."
The number of seriously delinquent borrowers, those 90 or more days late on their mortgage payment, inched up from 7.2 percent to 7.3 percent from January to February but remained well below the 7.8 percent rate February 2011.
REO grew faster in February 2012 than the pace of REO sales, as measured by the distressed clearing ratio. The distressed clearing ratio is calculated by dividing the number of REO sales by the number of completed foreclosures; the higher the ratio, the faster the pace of REO sales relative to the pace of completed foreclosures. The distressed clearing ratio for February 2012 was 0.73, up from 0.66 in January 2012.
California, Florida, Michigan, Arizona, and Texas were the top five states in the number of completed foreclosures during the 12 months ending in February. Together they accounted for 49.4 percent of all completed foreclosures during the period.
Florida, New Jersey, Illinois, Nevada, and New York had the highest foreclosure rates, ranging from 12.0 percent in Florida to 4.9 percent in New York.
From the start of the financial crisis in September 2008, there have been approximately 3.4 million completed foreclosures.
