Dear Parents and Students,
We are now fully into spring and closer to the remaining months of school. I wanted to take this opportunity to update you on exciting news at the high school and remind you of a few dates. First and foremost, I want to thank all parents who continue to take time out of their busy schedules to join me for Principal Breakfasts to share their thoughts and feedback. I have thoroughly enjoyed your company and your insights. I would also like to recognize the current board members of my PTSA, who have worked diligently to ensure NHS students and staff are celebrated and well cared for throughout the year! Thank you Maggie Conway, Alpana Dholakia, Angela Thill, and Rachelle Kahn (students still talk about the bagels during testing days).
As you know, our school had our accreditation this year with a visit by members of the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC) in the fall. We have just received word that our school's ongoing regional accreditation status was approved by the commission. The NEASC commission highlighted commendations for our school that included the following:
- Palpable sense of pride, respect, and caring between and among staff members and students, as well as a safe, positive, respectful and supportive culture
- Extensive array of academic and extracurricular offerings to meet the needs and interests of our students
- Use of instructional practices that engage students as active and self-directed learners
- Strong community, business, and higher education partnerships that provide extensive, authentic and real world opportunities
- Consistent, systematic, instructional leadership by the Principal based on core values, beliefs, and graduation expectations
- Immaculate, safe facility that supports teaching and learning
A full report of their commendations and recommendations will be accessible to all members of the community on our website in the next few days. Our website is located at http://newtown.nhs.schooldesk.net/
XQ Challenge
A team of staff members took up the nationwide challenge set forth by Laurene Powell Jobs to "reimagine" the high school of the future. Only 5 schools will win the challenge and ultimately receive both expert and financial support of 10 million dollars each over a five year period. Over 700 teams across the nation submitted applications after input from students, staff, and community members, but only 348 schools are moving on to the next "develop" phase in the competition. The Newtown High School design team was one of those lucky schools who will be advancing forward in the competition, but there is more work ahead! Our design, Newtown High School of Inquiry and Innovative Design, builds on the areas we are most proud and want to expand, including business and entrepreneurships, language and literacy, science and technology, and performing arts. We will update you as we continue on in this challenge.
Safety and Security
Throughout the year, we have worked hard to continue to improve our safety measures, including ensuring appropriate visitor check in, security and staff visibility throughout the building, and student accountability for behaviors. As we did last year, we will be conducting a routine drug search in the weeks ahead in collaboration with local authorities using police dogs. Please continue to have conversations with your children around policies and school expectations related to the use of and distribution of illegal substances.
Friday, April 29th – Senior Prom. A separate letter regarding the upcoming prom was previously sent out. This date was selected early on to secure The Waterview in Monroe, CT, (a much closer ride for our students), and we anticipate all students will have an outstanding evening. Seniors are already buzzing about this!
Saturday, June 11th – Graduation – our graduation date (based on availability at WESTCONN and other factors) was secured. Information was sent out via our PTSA newsletter and the date placed on our website under news and announcements weeks ago. Like last year, all students will receive 6 tickets, which is based on the ability of the facility to accommodate our students, families, and faculty members.
I hope everyone continues to enjoy the weekend.
Lorrie Rodrigue

For this weekâs contest, Iâd like to submit Rachele Doiron â (1712478). We had our first meeting on June 20th, and directly afterwards, we scouted around for some decent locations to do some test shots. These were taken in an abandoned location, in aprox. 95 degree heat. She had a really upbeat personality without even a hint of discomfort. Sheâs a real treat to work with and I highly recommend her.

A reminder to all theLIST members: The number of nominees has been quite gratifying, thank you!
But, please review the eligibility requirements before posting a public nomination in the NEWbie Model of the Week Contest. If you have questions about your nominee's eligibility please send me a PM asking for clarification and I'll present it to our TD volunteer panel.
Members who were grandfathered into theLIST, the requirements have only been changed very slightly from the original rules - in fact the only substantive changes have made the requirements a bit more lenient (dropping the time on MM limit).
As always many thanks for your participation!

It gives me great pleasure to introduce Crystal Elless. Crystal was truly a joy to work with, posing herself very well, but open to direction as well. She was open to a wide variety of concepts and looks and is certainly one of the most versatile Newbie models I've had the pleasure to work with. Thank you in advance to The Top Drawer for your consideration !

It's been a great pleasure photographing Corissa Victoria, MM #1365840, over the last few weeks. I discovered her on Model Mayhem, and although her then standard 10 shots left to be desired, I could see that there was a lot more in her just waiting to get out. She proved me right - she shows confidence and charisma, friendliness and sex appeal. Here are some examples of our sessions - I'd like to nominate Corissa as my Newbie Model of the Week.

I first noticed Stacia O., MM #1364991, in a café in San Francisco while I was having breakfast with my daughter. I very seldom invite people that I meet on the street to do a photo shoot, but Stacia's smile as I was leaving pushed me over the edge and I gave her my card. Two weeks later, she contacted me about shooting a set. I only wish that she lived closer to San Francisco; she's already getting lots of attention from Reno area photographers! Now that we've done our second shoot together, I'm pleased to re-nominate her for Newbie Model of the Week.
All images unretouched.
Stacia and I thank Top Drawer for their consideration!

This week it is my honor to introduce Ms. Riley Renee model mayhem # 1656325. What can I say about Riley other then she is one amazing model to work with and a dear friend. Riley stepped up this spring with little to no experience as a model to shoot a very controversial shoot with me, on the taboos that we as a society have about sex. She gave amazing insight and was always reaching to push the topic and the shoot even further. Then she and I reunited this last month again to shoot a fun idea that she had brought to me. She is beyond words amazing to work with and it is my honor to submit her this week.

Ladies and Gentlemen of the Top Drawer, it gives me great pleasure to introduce Kyla M. It has been my pleasure to shoot with Kyla three times, and none could be considered the best of conditions. The first two were late last fall with temps below 45 and the last was last week with temps in the 90's, but she never complained, never faltered and did whatever she needed to to capture what we were after. As you can see she is capable of a wide variety of looks.
Kyla and I thank you for your consideration !

Bill Ackman Wants to Throw Out Canadian Pacific's CEO
This relationship seems to be souring quickly.
This afternoon, hedge-fund manager Bill Ackman struck back at Canadian Pacific Railway, which earlier accused its biggest shareholder of leaking the possibility of a new CEO to the press. Now, Ackman says Canadian Pacific's pants are on fire.

Erica Baumwald, right, is one of four Athens Academy players to have made three straight trips to the second round of the Class A tournament. She is shown here guarding Prince Avenue's Rebecca Satterfield during a game Jan. 28.
Rebecca Reid/File Sweet 16 appearances are nothing new for Athens Academy.
Being a favorite in a second-round game? That's a little different.
Athens Academy will play Temple at 4 p.m. today at Floyd College in Rome, marking the Lady Spartans' third straight second-round appearance. But for the first time in that run, Athens Academy might be expected to do more than pull an upset and cause a stir.
That Athens Academy (19-6) has gotten this far again is little surprise. The Spartans have four players who have been with the team for all three second-round appearances (seniors Katie Rogers, Erica Baumwald and Greer Van Dyck and junior Alexis Yoculan).
''It's exciting. It's encouraging,'' Rogers said. ''When we started out, we were really young. Each year we've built it up.''
What they've built is a team that continues to defy expectations. Last year Athens Academy reached the quarterfinals by upsetting fourth-ranked Trion. The year before a young team reached the second round.
''People don't have high expectations of us,'' Rogers said, ''and I think that gives us a bit of a drive. We never have the expectations to go that far, so we want to go further.''
Athens Academy may have that chance this year with a relatively easy draw and a more wide-open field.
For the past two years, Class A girls basketball meant, realistically, Jefferson, Wesleyan and everyone else. The Dragons and Wolves played for the state title in 2001 and 2002, winning one each. Wesleyan ended Athens Academy's state tournament run last year in the quarterfinals, 79-41.
But Wesleyan is in Class AA, and Jefferson went through somewhat of a rebuilding year and was eliminated in the first round, which gives Athens Academy and the rest of the field a shot.
''I think we have a 50-50 chance in every game we have to play, basically in every game from here on out,'' Athens Academy coach Clay Price said. ''I think in the past ... with the dominance of a couple of teams, primarily from this area of this state, when you saw them somewhere in your side of the bracket you were sort of like, 'Whoa.'''
And while Price cautioned no team can be taken lightly, the Spartans seem to have an easier road than some. Temple is the fourth seed from Region 6-A and is 13-15. Potential third-round opponents Bowdon and Gordon-Lee are ranked fifth and sixth, respectively, in the state.
Those squads are hardly lightweights, but considering that the teams ranked Nos. 1-4 occupy other parts of the bracket, Rogers might have a point when she said, ''I think we got the best bracket. If we play like we should and play smart, I think we could go at least to the (state final). I would expect that. With our draw, we should take advantage of where we're put.''
To do that, the Spartans can call on a healthy stock of playoff experience, which can be invaluable in tight, late-game situations.
''I think all the younger players do look up to us,'' Baumwald said. They look to us when the games are close, they look to us to know what they should be doing. Going to state tournament, it's not new for us, we've played in this gym before, we know what to expect.''
One weapon Athens Academy has this year that it didn't last year is senior guard Elizabeth Guess. She sat out the second half of last season, but has averaged better than 19 points a game in the postseason.
And, according to Guess' teammates, she also is the squad's major source of inspiration.
''If there are things that aren't getting done or specific things that are really killing us in a game, she's really serious about making sure everyone knows where to be,'' Van Dyck said.
All four of the three-year players agree nerves are a factor in a playoff game, particularly in the minutes before tipoff. But when giving in to nerves can mean the end of a season, or a career, fighting them off becomes key.
''We can't let our nerves get to us,'' Yoculan said. ''If you make a turnover or a mistake, you have to shake it off. You can't be timid the rest of the game, and you can't blame yourself if you do make those mistakes.''
Said Baumwald, ''Once state comes, it could be our last game, every game we play. We just try to motivate ourselves; we talk about, 'We don't want this to be our last game.' We have high expectations of ourselves, that's all that counts.''

It can be interesting sometimes to compare what the general public likes of my photographs compared to what I personally like. The...
In the morning, I hit up Bien Cuit in Brooklyn for breakfast (and to pickup lunch) before heading to the station. The train departed on time at 11:30. I'd estimate that it was approximately 1/3 full. The consist was a typical one of Amfleet and a cafe / business class car at the end. The train used an electric locomotive from Washington to New Haven. In New Haven, the switch to a diesel occurs.At New Haven, you are able to get out for a bit while they are switching engines. Luck was on my side, and an Acela arriving on a track which was nicely light by the sun.
Similar to the way down, a crew change was performed at Springfield. Here you can get out to stretch the legs and to take a few photos. Here we met up with the southbound Vermonter as well as the shuttle.
The food situation on the train is rather limited for those who are picky eaters. The stop in New Haven isn't long enough to grab a quick bite, and there isn't any food close to the station in Springfield. For those of you travelling on this route, I would suggest that you pack a lunch.
The scenery along the line was quite nice. It was quite varied from a state capital building to many busy industries. From the freight cars I saw parked on the sidings, I think that the most common commodities transported were grain, lumber, and petroleum.
The late morning departure from New York results in limited daylight viewing this time of year while heading north. There were some nice lakes on the lower portion of the line, but around 6pm this time of year it becomes too dark for photography.
Some of the scenery along the line was reminiscent of my travels to Germany in the Black forest.
The train arrived back in St. Albans about 45 minutes behind schedule. I would taken it to Montreal if it went that far, but that service was suspended in 1995. There has been alot of discussion about this train returning to Montreal. Last I've read, the agreement was signed, but they are awaiting on Congress and Canadian parliament to pass the bills required to permit the pre-clearance in Montreal. I would expect that they'll probably get around to passing the law in the next 18 months, then it is about another two years for construction in Montreal's Central station.
Getting back into Canada was a breeze, the conversation only had 10 words exchanged between both of us. I arrived back in Ottawa around 12:30 in the evening.
Running Extra – Just past the station in Springfield is a sad look Amtrak package delivery building. I wonder if it is still in use. It reminds me of the Top Gear production office.

This yielding of only bad grapes led God to issue a challenge to His people. He commanded them to examine themselves and render a judgment between Him and themselves. Isaiah 5:3-8 "Now you dwellers in Jerusalem and men of Judah, judge between me and my vineyard. What more could have been done for my vineyard than I have done for it? When I looked for good grapes, why did it yield only bad? Now I will tell you what I am going to do to my vineyard: I will take away its hedge, and it will be destroyed; I will break down its wall, and it will be trampled. I will make it a wasteland, neither pruned nor cultivated, and briers and thorns will grow there. I will command the clouds not to rain on it. The vineyard of the Lord Almighty is the house of Israel, and the men of Judah are the garden of his delight. And he looked for justice, but saw bloodshed; for righteousness, but heard cries of distress. Woe to you who add house to house and join field to field till no space is left and you live alone in the land." NIV
What sad questions God asks in verse four! Without forcing us to accept His offer of salvation, there is obviously nothing more that God could have done to save you and me. He has done it all. He has cared for the vineyard as no earthly caretaker would. He has created the earth as a specially designed place to be the perfect place for us to live. Our sin has caused this paradise to degenerate. He put a longing in our hearts so that we would realize that we do have a Creator. He designed all of creation to testify of His existence. He gave us the Law to point out our guilt, proving our need for a savior. He gave us a conscience to testify against us, reminding us of our need to be saved. He has declared His love for us over and over again through His spoken and written Word. He delivered the greatest possible evidence of His love for us by sending His Son to live among us and be killed by us as the perfect payment for the debt we owed. He not only redeems us but adopts us into His family. He set His written ord over us in the Bible to watch over us, protect us, guide us, and safely lead us to Him. He sent His Holy Spirit to indwell us and to fill us. He doesn't immediately take believers to heaven, but rather leaves them here as a witness to the rest of us. He sets pastors over us to lead us. He sends angels as ministering spirits to aid us. We have no excuse for not accepting His offer to be His sons and daughters.
God asked a second sad question in Isaiah 5:4. He wants us to examine ourselves to see why we have produced only bad fruit. Isaiah 5 tells us that God was specifically looking for justice, righteousness, and benevolence. Instead, He saw bloodshed, distress, and greed. God detailed the consequences; punishment would be swift and certain. God said He would make His vineyard an overgrown, deserted, arid, wasteland. We would do well to examine our own hearts to see if they have become overgrown, deserted, arid wastelands.

text: I'm wondering if anyone has seen both of these or used both and could comment on which to purchase for my kitchen. I currently own the Cuisinart Multi Clad pro 12 piece set and a LC 5.5 Qt round French oven. My Cuisinart set has a 3.5 qt saute pan, I always wished I had a larger one, and when I saw the LC braiser, I thought, voila! but alas, it doesn't come in my color (not really a serious consideration) at my local store, they suggested the wide round french oven as a substitute that I could get in a color I like (caribbean or white). I'm looking for something that has a larger base, more room in the bottom. I'm not an expert, so that is the only thing I was considering along with the braiser being less deep... any thoughts?? Thanks in advance!!

4 Ways To Brand Yourself As A Superior Candidate
Jul 12 2012 in Featured, reCareered Blog, social branding by Phil Rosenberg
In an earlier column, we discussed what causes your resume to brand you as a commodity candidate – and also how to recognize if you're using commodity branding.
Now, let's discuss a solution …
Instead of branding yourself as a commodity, why not brand yourself as a superior candidate?
In today's job market, satisfying minimum requirements won't brand you as a superior candidate – you'll look like a commodity to employers.
To give your readers the first impression that you're a superior candidate, you'll need to show your audience that you're the unique solution to specific problems of your individual target employer.
Today's employers realize that there's a shortage of jobs, not a shortage of candidates. Employers see that they get an average of about 1,000 candidates for each advertised position. With that many applicants, there are many who meet minimum qualifications.
In addition, today's employers are forced to be extremely picky about who they hire. We're in a slow recovery – this means most hiring managers are being asked to "do more with less". When productivity is driving corporate profits rather than sales, hiring managers are expected to produce higher results while hiring fewer people. To accomplish this, hiring managers must find new employees who need little or no training … because they already have experience in solving similar problems to what the department faces. In other words, they can hit the ground running, adding to the team's results almost immediately.
As a candidate, your best bet is to show a hiring manager that you've already solved their problems. Not just any problems … the problems with the hiring manager's highest priorities.
Given the above background, you should be able to see 4 ways to brand yourself as a superior candidate
- Superior Information: Gain superior information about the hiring manager's problems. You're not going to find this on Google searches, because a) Information from Google is publicly available, so how can it be superior information?; and b) Google provides old information, about the problems a company already solved … not the problems the hiring manager faces today and going forward. Superior information comes from the employees of a company and you can find that information by talking with them.
- Priorities: Not all problems are created equal. Some problems will get the hiring manager's highest attention, while other problems aren't all that important. By determining the hiring manager's priorities, you can understand which problems are the most important to the hiring manager. In that way, you can choose the problems most important to the hiring manager – then frame your experience to show you've already solved similar problems.
- Superior Branding: By gaining superior information about a hiring manager's problems and priorities, you can choose the problems that are the most important for that hiring manager to solve … and then demonstrate how you've already helped to solve similar problems.
- Focus: Of course, you'll want to show you meet the minimum qualifications just to get through pre-screening. Recognizing the minimum requirements will be secondary, but necessary to get your resume in front of the hiring manager. Once the hiring manager gets your resume, you'll want your resume to focus on how you've already solved similar problems to the hiring manager's priorities. If instead, your resume is focused on minimum qualifications, you look like a commodity – one of the many candidates who meet the minimums. Instead, if you focus on having already solved that individual hiring manager's priority problems, you brand yourself as the superior candidate … especially since so few of your competitors first gain superior information necessary to take a similar approach.
The choice is entirely in your hands and within your reach. You've got the power and now you have the information needed to make a cornerstone decision about your job search.
You won't be able to apply for as many jobs if you take the time to brand yourself as a superior candidate for each job. Gaining superior information, understanding priorities and focusing your reader's attention on your similar solutions takes time. Applying for many jobs as a commodity candidate doesn't take a whole lot of time or effort.
Will you brand yourself like everyone else … like a commodity?
Or will you decide instead to stand out from the pack and do the necessary research to brand yourself as a superior candidate?
You'll find that the focus needed to demonstrate you're a superior candidate wins much more often.

What is the total cost of my loan?7. How is interest calculated?8. What are the loan up front charges?9. What do I need to know about paying my loan instalments?10. How can I calculate the total cost of my loan?
1. How can I obtain a personal loan?
You can apply for a personal loan if you are aged 18 to 65, are in work or have other sources of income.
2. What is the maximum loan amount?
Personal loans are usually for amounts ranging from € 1,000 to € 20,000. However, there is no maximum limit and the amount of the loan is determined by your needs, coupled with your ability to repay the loan. We make sure that we provide loans that are tailored to the needs and financial capabilities of our customers.
3. What collateral is needed?
Personal loans can be taken out providing the following collaterals:
4. How is the personal loan repayment period decided?
The loan duration is for a maximum of 10 years and is usually repaid in equal monthly instalments. The size of the instalments is a decisive factor in determining the length of the loan.
5. How is the interest rate set?
It depends on what collateral you provide. If asset-based collateral is provided (mortgage, blocked deposits, assignment of redeemable life insurance policies), the interest rate will be lower than in cases where no such collateral is offered (i.e. where only personal guarantees are offered) the interest rate will be higher.
6. What is the total cost of my loan?
The total cost of any loan comprises:
It should be noted that where the loan is not repaid in accordance with the repayment schedule, additional charges become payable. These are described below.
7. How is interest calculated?
8. What are the loan up front charges?
Your personal loans are subject to up front charges which are payable once when the loan is taken out. These charges are as follows:
Bank up front charges
Government charges:
These charges are usually specified by law:
Third party charges:
These charges are for valuations carried out for the Bank by approved valuers where a property mortgage is offered as collateral, or charges in connection with life insurance.
9. What do I need to know about paying my loan instalments?
10. How can I calculate the total cost of my loan?
Find out about your loan's APR
The APR (the Annual Percentage Rate) is the total cost of your loan (including interest and all bank charges you have to pay) expressed as an annual percentage of the amount you have borrowed.
The APR gives you an overall picture of the total cost of your loan and is the best tool available to you to compare different products from the same Bank or from other banks.

Man's Best Friends: Shiprock and Anchordog (Northampton Blog)
Northampton's Evan Curran Creates Unique Rock Opera for Kids
Shiprock and Anchordog: A Fun Musical Fantasy
Dogs have long been man's best friend. Evan Curran knows this well. His parents always had them, and he valued their simpleminded love of life. The K-9 and the 25 year old singer/songwriter seemed to be kindred spirits, both being a fun combination of action-oriented and easily distracted. But Evan Curran is not distracted from his mission to share his playful music, having finished his album Shiprock and Anchordog. The album brings the listener along on an epic and yet lighthearted ride that follows two dogs in their search for food security after having left the desert. As they journey between the pleasures and obstacles of the world, we are endeared to both the puppies and to the singer alike. We grow to appreciate the small things in life that we learned long ago, such as sharing, and being able to depend on yourself to provide your own food sources; the music is oriented around a moral code without being preachy, but instead whimsical.
While his music is playful, Evan Curran takes his craft seriously. He dedicated most of his free time over the past year mastering his sound, searching feverishly for the best possible sound in his music. The journey of Shiprock and Anchordog began six years ago while he was studying at Umass Amherst. I was roommates with him then, and observed the appeal of his fairy tales as he shared them with his peers. Some might have found them corny, but would be proven wrong as his music has in the last year hit an excellent stride. His ability to reunite adults with their playful side merges with the strong case he makes as a moral teacher for children. This combination makes him seriously lovable.
Learning as a musician throughout the recording process, he has finally sculpted his dream land into a rock opera, birthed something solid from the cloudy realm of imagination. When the project first began I remember thinking that some of his song's guitar lines felt repetitive and simple, but he has developed a keen sense of song structure since then, and has a solid band to back him up. Featured in the group is Andrea Snowy LaJoie on guitar and a number of other local musicians who hold down the explorative soundtrack to Shiprock and Anchordog's moral journey. In between songs are skits, acted out by seven elementary school children which provide an adorable backdrop for the story's narration. Evan's skill at using children's imagination is apparent. He is an elementary school teacher and knows how to use music and story to create a fun-loving atmosphere, which is meant to be inviting and all-inclusive. Anchordog is the girl and Shiprock is the boy, partners not in crime but problem-solving. In the background of each skit there is usually a soft melodic trance type of music which belies the peace of their friendship.
Evan plays local gigs, intent on serving his immediate community, a homebody who values keeping what he has always known and loved close to him. At his shows it is refreshing to see children dance with the pure lack of self-consciousness that makes them themselves. They truly represent the heart of rock and roll before it slides into the genre's more experimental realms, which are nowadays nearly clichéd. Evan is not shy to be a good guy as his bright smile beams from the stage and he leans slightly forward as if to loudly share a secret. He sings his lyrics in a voice tinged with humor. For him, music is all about having fun in the moment, making the best out of every opportunity life offers him, an optimist to the extreme.
His music encourages personal exploration, and the pursuit of defining oneself by his/her own potential for greatness but more importantly goodness of heart. Early on in the CD the two dogs jump a train, which is driven by a female who was not dissuaded from her dream of being a train operator despite being a girl. In this song "The Engineer", Curran sings with the defiant pride of someone who has stuck to their ambitions:
When I was young all the people said you're always playing with toy trains why don't you go play with your dolls instead.
I didn't listen to them late at night I would crawl out of bed, making decisions and ordering instructions to the railroad crew that lived in my head.
I'm glad that I did because my hard work payed off I didn't listen to the people who would fuss laugh and scoff.
I'm proud that the work that I do I keep my head a loft, my hard work paid off and I'm an engineer.
The album is full of insightful anecdotes such as this, focusing on the benefits of using one's positive energy to create a better future, the type of message that builds the moral foundations of our youth. Evan learns as much from the kids as they do from him, and the reverie of the interaction is a beautiful thing to see as his students attend his concerts for a real family affair. Delighting parents, kids, and peers, he has convinced the Pioneer Valley that his musical fantasy has real merit. The music entertains the spirit of childhood while still appealing to an adult audience that remembers the joys of the innocent spirit.
His belief in peace as the only way forward is strong. At one point in the rock opera, Shiprock and Anchordog find a community that they like. But there is a problem as it is filled with monsters. Their solution to the problem comes to them easily: the only way to live with the monsters is to make friends with them and show them respect. This absurdly optimistic revelation is the epitome of what Evan Curran's music stands for. He writes his tales through the rose-colored glasses of a fantasy land, one in which complicated problems are broken down to their simplest parts and provided with ideal solutions. Call him an idealist, but if dogs can do it, then we should be able to as well! Ultimately, the two dogs are just looking for food and friendship. The album is refreshing for its innocent theatrics and its honest to God desire for a simple living. Be a good dog and maybe you'll be rewarded with one of his live shows soon!

On a chilly afternoon in late November, 2014, a lightning storm of flashbulbs lit up the faces of Jian Ghomeshi and his lawyer, Marie Henein, as they tried to push their way through a crush of cameras at College Park in downtown Toronto. It was Mr. Ghomeshi's first time in public after being fired by CBC the previous month, and he had just been charged at the courthouse upstairs with numerous counts of sexual assault. But as the media zoomed in on the disgraced host and his glamorous legal team, another key player in the unfolding drama slipped away unnoticed.
On Monday, though, Crown counsel Michael Callaghan will be thrown into the spotlight with unusual force as he begins the prosecution of Regina v. Jian Ghomeshi before Justice William B. Horkins of the Ontario Court of Justice in courtroom 125 of Old City Hall. Mr. Callaghan will carry not just the burden of proving the state's case on the biggest stage of his career, but also the expectations of many who hope the trial will reinforce rather than undermine the growing impetus for sexual assault victims to come forward.
"His reputation could be made on this case," noted Constance Backhouse, a legal historian and professor of law at the University of Ottawa. "It's an opportunity, and it's pressure."
Jian Ghomeshi wtach: What you've missed so far
Mr. Ghomeshi is facing four counts of sexual assault and one of choking. The incidents, which involve three complainants, are alleged to have taken place between December, 2002, and July, 2003, when Mr. Ghomeshi was the host of the arts show play on CBC-TV's Newsworld channel. He will face trial in June on an additional charge of sexual assault stemming from an alleged workplace incident in January, 2008, when he was host of Q on CBC Radio One.
Mr. Ghomeshi's high-priced lawyer, Ms. Henein, has been extensively chronicled as a brilliant strategist, a sharkish defence counsel in stiletto heels who will stop at nothing – within the confines of the law – to advance her client's case.
Much less is known of Mr. Callaghan.
From interviews with Mr. Callaghan's colleagues conducted by The Globe and Mail, he emerges as Ms. Henein's modal opposite: a low-profile career prosecutor who is respected by the courts, considered to be firm but fair, and who displayed impressive sensitivity and compassion in his dealings with the mentally ill defendants he frequently prosecuted. (Mr. Callaghan declined an interview request by The Globe.)
Born in Sarnia, Ont., to a father who was a teacher and a mother who was a nurse, Mr. Callaghan, 43, is the third of four children in a household that his brother Joseph, who is also a Crown prosecutor, characterized as academically inclined. "We read the paper from a very early age," Joseph Callaghan said. "We always discussed news, issues." Michael Callaghan attended the University of Ottawa for a degree in political science, then went to Dalhousie University's Schulich School of Law. He graduated in 1996 and went straight into the civil service, articling for the Crown.
For a number of years, Mr. Callaghan was the head crown at College Park, where he oversaw the prosecutorial activities at the courthouse.
"He's a very capable prosecutor, but he combines that with a real sense of fairness," said Mark Sandler, a well-known defence counsel who faced off against Mr. Callaghan in the so-called "crossbow killer case" in 2012, in which Mr. Sandler's client, Zhou (Peter) Fang, admitted killing his father after years of being abused by him.
Mr. Callaghan "showed real sensitivity to the particular mitigating circumstances, and he worked very co-operatively in securing not only the conventional disclosure but also additional information that was relevant to the defence in the case, including medical records that came to the accused family, and the abuse that he had suffered in that case," Mr. Sandler said. "So I have a lot of respect for him and I know the court has a lot of respect for Michael, as well." (At the trial's conclusion, Justice John McMahon praised both Mr. Callaghan and Mr. Sandler for their behaviour in what he termed "an exceptionally difficult case.")
Mr. Sandler and Mr. Callaghan are both members of the Attorney-General's Justice Roundtable, which is exploring issues of mentally ill individuals who come into contact with the criminal justice system. Colleagues say Mr. Callaghan is especially sensitive in this area, having served for many years as a prosecutor in the province's mental-health court at College Park.
"He has a lot of empathy," Joseph Callaghan said. "Working in the business, especially at College Park, the population they serve, I just think the day-to-day reality brought home to him the issues. In the criminal justice system, we're left to pick up the pieces after the rest of the social fabric, the safety net, has failed. So, those who haven't gotten treatment or have refused treatment or whatever, are now in our court."
Another lawyer who has faced Mr. Callaghan noted that he took seriously his responsibility to strive for a fair outcome. "The Crown's role is not to simply get a conviction at all costs," said Alison Mackay, whose client, a Peterborough hockey coach, pleaded guilty in 2013 to child pornography charges and received a short sentence on Mr. Callaghan's recommendation, which took into account several mitigating factors.
Still, she warned against underestimating Mr. Callaghan. "He's not going to be a pushover. Don't let the fact he's kind and reasonable be mistaken for someone who will not be a strong advocate" for justice.
Other cases prosecuted by Mr. Callaghan include those of a mother who had abducted her daughter and raised her under an assumed name for almost 20 years, and an arsonist with the mental capacity of a child who torched Toronto's Empress Hotel.
While Mr. Callaghan's highest-profile cases resulted in convictions, those defendants pleaded guilty: The Ghomeshi charges are expected to be contested in court.
(Asked about Mr. Callaghan's track record as a prosecutor of sexual assault cases, a spokesman for the Ministry of the Attorney-General wrote in an e-mail, "Mr. Callaghan is an experienced prosecutor who has been with the Ministry for many years and has prosecuted a wide variety of cases, including sexual assault offences in both the Ontario Court of Justice and the Superior Court of Justice." The spokesman did not respond to repeated requests for details on those sexual assault cases.)
Ms. Backhouse suggested that a track record prosecuting sexual assaults may not actually be necessary. "Lots of experience is really helpful, but so is preparation, intelligence and perseverance, and those qualities do not only belong to people with experience."Report Typo/Error

Anyone who has done IP chemo please post what your protocol was. Did you have to ve in the hospital for it? Kim
May 06, 2014 - 9:27 pm
Kim, I am very sorry about your recurrence. It sucks and you will need time to regroup and get back into the fighting mode. Join the rest of us in the race to NED.
I was supposed to have IP chemo after debulking surgery. Usually IP port is installed durung surgery under the rib cage on the right. In my case there was a mix-up with consent form and it was not done. I had a separate ultrasound-guided procedure to install the IP port. Unfortunately a clueless radiologist incorrectly placed the port into the belly fat and incision never closed or healed, so it could not be used for IP chemo. I got my chemo the old-fashioned way, through IV into the arm.
From what I remember first you will be given normal steroids and Benadryl, then Taxol through IV. Then Carboplatin through IP. You will be in bed in a slightly reclined position and nurse will turn you side to side every 15 minutes or so. You don't have to be in the hospital for that.
I didn't know that IP chemo is used for recurrence. I was told that it never happens, that is why my unlucky IP port was removed as soon as I finished first line chemo.
Sending you healing thoughts and best wishes,
May 06, 2014 - 9:36 pm
Kim I too am so sorry you are going through this again. I did IP with no problems with the port. I had it done right at the infusion center. Usually took about 6 hours or so but longer the first time because the ran it slow... I had steroids and benadryl. The surgery to put it in was about an hour and a half and to take it our was less than an hour and I was not put under - just out. Have the doc put it on the opposite side you sleep on if you are a side sleeper. Do you know when your surgery is?
Upside to the IP chemo was that I got my own room with a bed for chemo. You have to roll from side to side like every hour or so or get up and walk so it sloshes around...
Any questions you have I will try and answer. I too thought it wasn't used for recurrence. I wonder if you can have it cuz you didnt the first time....
Good luck on your journey and know we all have your back
May 06, 2014 - 11:02 pm
I started with a new gyn/oncologist. You usually dont have second surgery either. He feels if he can debulk me again and then put in the port, I have a better chance for a longer remission. He is specialized in ovarian cancer and has his own lab. I think he wants to be as vigorous as possible as long as I can handle it. It does make sense to re-debulk
down to less than a centimeter again.
Did you have a lot of abdominal pain and vomiting?
May 07, 2014 - 5:33 am
Kim I am happy to report no pain and I never vomited once.. After the third treatment I got bad constipation . iafter that I started taking miralax the morning of treatment and that did the trick. They gave me zofran for nausea so as soon as I felt the least bit queasy I would take that and never got nauseous... I sailed through pretty easy. I was very lucky.
What chemo will you be doing?
May 07, 2014 - 6:25 am
Not suree yet. Doctor wants to get through surgery first.Kim
May 08, 2014 - 10:49 am
I did six rounds of IV/IP after my surgery. The catheter was inserted during surgery. I never had any problems with it, and the removal was done in the office with local anesthesia. Minimal pain. You will get very used to it, just tucking it in your panties. No big deal.
The IP infusion was interesting. It was not uncomfortable, but I sure did notice my full belly when I would bend down. (I am tall, and I am not a small woman, so I probably had a lot more room in my belly than some shorter or more petite women.)
I was up to the toilet several times during the infusion, so the nurses didn't turn me, like others have mentioned. It just takes time...but I sort of looked forward to having a day to just lay around and think or read. The pre-meds included benedryl for me, and than made me sleepy.
In the day or two afterwards, there were lots of trips to the toilet to get rid of all that fluid. And you MUST start Miralax before and keep taking it for a week. Do not get constipated! I had medicine to take for nausea, so that wasn't a big issue for me. Chemo brain and fatigue were/are my on-going issues.
So, don't be afraid of IP. It is do-able. And research says, it works better than not. Good luck!
May 09, 2014 - 7:23 am
I have no experience with IP but please know that I am
thinking of you as you face this situation. The information
the other caring ladies have offered sounds very positive.
We are all thinking of you. Big hugs- Rose.
May 09, 2014 - 9:14 am
Yes, I had IV/IP chemo. Week 1 both, week two just IP, week3 fluids. Repeated for 18 weeks. I am NED and on August 3 it will be two years of NED.
May 09, 2014 - 10:19 pm
I had a different I p port than wolfmeister. My part was totally unde the skin and accessed with a needle. I did not have anything outside the skin.
May 09, 2014 - 11:09 pm
Thanks everyone for your input. I have surgerymto debulk again and then recovery time before chemo again.I appreciate all uour insights!
May 10, 2014 - 7:26 am
Kim when is your surgery?
May 10, 2014 - 7:46 pm
Tuesday at the University of Chicago.
130 pm
May 10, 2014 - 8:55 pm
You r in my thoughts an prayers Kim. Please let us now how you are doing as soon as you feel up t it.
May 11, 2014 - 7:20 pm
Debulking is a big surgery, but I feel positive about this for you. I think I would choose it again if I were in your situation. Get that crap out and start fresh! I hope your recovery is quick and uncomplicated.
May 12, 2014 - 4:27 pm
Let the debulking be optimal and recovery fast and comfortable. I will be keeping fingers and toes crossed.
Hugs times a million,

|How to Start
|Speak to Hanif in the West Nomad Camp ( 379, -47, -807 ) /waypoint 379, -47, -807.
|NOTE: A discussion page exists which may contain more information
What does this information mean?
- Hanif, a Springview Healer, wants some help gathering medicinal supplies. Collect a number of items for Hanif:
- 2 mandibles from stone beetles, found mostly near The Forgotten: ( 172, -46, 262 ) /waypoint 172, -46, 262
- 2 riverbank mushrooms from the banks of Dog Trapper Lake ( 31, -50, -695 ) /waypoint 31, -50, -695
- 3 festering skins from scourge rats, found near the Wasp Mound ( -20, -49, 38 ) /waypoint -20, -49, 38
- Return to Hanif with the supplies.
- Administer the first 2 doses to 2 of the worst off here at the camp:
- Take the medicine Hanif mixes to Durio Caepio standing by the fire in the center of the camp.
- Take a dose of the medicine to Galla Lentula inside the southwestern-most tent.
- Go back to Hanif and tell him of the visions the lepers have been having.
- Hanif wishes to study this, but needs some material from Lucretias Domna. She can be found in Enlightenment Cemetery, southwest of the Ulteran Spires ( 113, -48, -195 ) /waypoint 113, -48, -195.
- Kill the nearby zombies for Lucretias to obtain 7 sinews.
- Return to Lucretias, who will hand over The Dissertation of Affliction and a piece of Pusling Flesh for Hanif.
- Return to Hanif with the Dissertation and Flesh to finish the quest.
It seems likely that this quest is an advance foreshadowing of the return of Bertoxxulous, the Plaguebringer.
- Completing this quest gives +85 faction with The Dismal Rage
- At least 2s 67c
- One of the following based on class:
- Adept's Gloves of Knowledge (Mage)

text: You are all idiots. R1A's advice was the only thing that could have saved Express. You old timers are so afraid of vengeance from management if you get caught advocating IBT, yet let me pose this question... When you retire, IF you make it, what will you have to show for it? A really ty monthly payment? You invested a third of your life into something that you despise in exchange for a payout that you probably can't even live on, if you get it at all. And new guys, you're going to end up being fired or more likely you'll end up quitting in a few years anyway. WAD is a bunch of boloney and is only a self defense mechanism to make it one more day to an invisible retirement. Every day you work, you contribute to the very model you despise. If you are all too lazy to unionize, you deserve every bit of treatment you get. Fred will ride you all the way, unchecked and raking in record profits, until everything is Ground and there is no retirement. He will have 0 employees and 100,000 employees at the same time. What's most ironic of all is that you all despise Fred so much, yet you remained employed by him making him money. WAD is actually very effective. It reduces accidents and maintains productivity. Why would he fight it? Unionize or wither away. I don't see the reason not to, and I have been in the trenches for 15 years as a courier to a now SM, so don't tell me I don't know what it's like. I actively push unionizing here, and have been for years.

This book explains Factoring of numbers. Factoring is fun and kids love it. They gain "power" over the numbers. It is a critical book before Fractions, because many exercises with fractions require the ability to factor.
It is also a short book - it only requires at most 5 hours to master factoring!
