A British plane loaded with military equipment and foreign troops bound for Mali has been delayed due to a technical fault.
Britain is supporting French efforts to halt an advance by rebels in the west African country and is sending two planes to be deployed where insurgents affiliated with al Qaida have been pushing south from their northern base against the Mali government.
The C-17 set off from RAF Brize Norton in Oxfordshire on Sunday and was being loaded with military equipment at a French base. It was due to take off for Mali on Monday morning but has been delayed due to a "minor technical fault", a Ministry of Defence spokesman said. The problem is thought to be a short-term one and the plane is expected to be ready to depart later, he added.
The second plane was due to set off from RAF Brize Norton on Monday morning for France, ahead of continuing on to Mali. Downing Street has stressed that no UK troops will engage in combat operations there, but the transport planes will provide logistical assistance.
Prime Minister David Cameron and French president Francois Hollande have agreed that the situation in Mali poses a real threat to international security given terrorist activity there.
Hundreds of French troops were deployed on Saturday after state forces lost control of the strategically important town of Konna to Islamists last Thursday. The rebels seized a swathe of northern Mali last spring.
Mr Hollande also sent French commandos into Somalia in a failed attempt to rescue hostage Denis Allex, who was kidnapped in July 2009. Two soldiers and Mr Allex are believed to have died in the bid. Paris insists the two operations are entirely separate. The country's terrorist threat level has been raised over fears of reprisals from extremists.
Mr Cameron has expressed "deep concern" about the rebel advances, saying: "I welcome the military assistance France has provided to the Malian government, at their request, to halt this advance. These developments show the need to make urgent progress in implementing UN Security Council resolutions on Mali, and ensure that military intervention is reinforced by an inclusive political process leading to elections and a return to full civilian rule."
News of the delay came shortly after Mr Cameron hailed the C17 as "our most advanced and capable transport plane". He told BBC Radio 4's Today that Britain would also share intelligence with France as part of its efforts to tackle the "dangerous Islamist regime".
Africa minister Mark Simmonds is expected to update MPs on the UK's role in the operation in an oral Commons statement later.

There are an estimated 2,000 kinases and 500 phophatases in the human genome, and almost one-third of all proteins in a cell can be phosphorylated. The completion of sequencing of the human genome and other genomes may lead to the discovery of additional kinases and phosphatases, many of which could be implicated in the regulation of cell growth. With these discoveries comes the need for novel reagents and specific assays to identify potential gene products and to characterize these enzymes and their functions in the cell.

Thousands rallied at womens prisons across the state, fighting for releases due to overcrowding and unsafe living conditions inside the prisons.
Hundreds demonstrated in front of the prison in Chowchilla.
Demonstrators are upset with the state's prison system, specifically the women's facilities.
The protesters marched about two miles from the Valley State Prison to the Central CA Womens Prison.
Recently, VSP transitioned from a womens facility to a men's.
Protesters say it's led to overcrowding, unsafe living conditions, and a lack of services for women.
The Central California Womens Facility says the prison has roughly 3700 inmates.
Officials say the accusations against them are false, that all inmates have a bed and the facility isn't overcrowded.
Similar rallies were held in Los Angeles, and at the MacArthur BART station in Oakland.

Make Music New York
Aaron Friedman, president and founder of Make Music New York, speaks with Clocktower Radio's Jeannie Hopper about the history of the organization, which has its roots in the establishment, in 1982, of a musical holiday in France that is celebrated every year on June 21. Upon first seeing this in 1996, Friedman decided that New York deserved a musical holiday of its own, one which, like its French cousin, would also happen on the first day of summer and serve to bring musicians from the city out into the streets to perform. He discusses the growth of his interest in sound and music in the public sphere, beginning with his legal actions taken against car alarms and continuing with the rapidly expanding annual event. The work of the pioneering composer Iannis Xenakis, the subject of several exhibitions and performances over the past year, has a central role in the 2010 Mass Appeal series, which was created in 2009 to host performances of compositions written for a single type of instrument. Friedman talks about several of the scheduled performances, including a block party at the Astor Place Cube, a goth rock show at a cemetery and a workshop for kids to build instruments out of electronic parts.
The Artistic Advisors of Make Music New York include such luminaries as Meredith Monk, Steve Reich, Don Byron, John Corigliano, Paquito D'Rivera and Lee Renaldo.

"I added all the features I could and still get a stick shift. It is comfortable, ergonomic and well made, for the cost. Handling is a bit dull, but I got it to drive every day not as a sports car, I already have one of those. The sound system, GPS and communication electronics are all excellent and would be tough to beat (unless you have $1000's more to spend on that), leather heated seats are nice, fairly firm and comfortable for long trips. The interior finish is in line with the cost. At half the cost of a 3 series BMW it offers a lot of the features in a low cost car."

Cons: "Tranny sometimes hunts for gear. Blind spot"

"I have never liked Chevy cars and haven't bought one in 42 years of driving. Till I met the Cruze. I was looking for a new car to replace my 19 year old beater and the Cruze made the short-list based on the numbers. I test drove one and was blown away by the performance compared to cars with similar size/price. Then my wife's car blew an engine and we needed to make a fast purchase decision. We chose Cruze and I'm glad we did. The 1.4L Turbo feels like a much larger engine and has plenty of get-up when you punch it. It maneuvers nicely and handles well. It is a very responsive car and the overall driving experience is very positive. Now with 5500 miles on ours and a winter under our belts I can definitely say that I have very positive feelings for this car. Two weeks after we bought the car, I hit some black ice and the car's stability and traction controls kicked in and held the car straight till I was off the ice. Without those systems, I would have skidded across the line into oncoming traffic. During the winter in hilly PA, I have felt the assistance on a couple of occasions and I am glad the car is watching out for us. The front seats feel like a larger car (but the back is a bit cramped). The trunk is much larger and deeper than the exterior size of the car would suggest, and we've never had a problem hauling our gear around, or doing a major shopping trip. The electronics package and driver information displays are nicely done, and the bluetooth/hands-free phone feature is a definite plus for me. The two downchecks that I have noted is that a short driver may have a serious blind spot seeing to the right front corner of the car due to the placement of the righthand rear-view mirror and roof pillar. Less of a problem for taller driver. (Think husband OK, wife not so much). Also, while the engine has substantial acceleration available, the 6-speed automatic sometimes delays the acceleration for a fraction of a second while it selects the appropriate gear to use, then kicks in and takes off. Gas mileage is very dependent on driver technique. Running stop-and-go in mixed rural and city driving, with steep and hilly terrain my wife gets about 29-30 MPG. I tend to try to stretch the gas when I can, and I get in the low to mid '30s over the same runs. We haven't really had it out on the open highway for long cruises, so I can't report on highway mileage numbers. Thus far, the car has needed no service attention other than an oil change. The body and fittings are still "tight" and the car has developed NO rattles, squeaks or annoying little sounds that every car I've ever owned have had. Overall opinion is very positive. I would recommend this car to anyone who asks. I still need to replace the beater I commute in, and I am seriously considering another Cruze."

"Purchased my Cruze LTZ 2 wks ago and already 3000 miles on it. The price ($20,000) was fantastic for the amenities... Sunroof, Heated Seats, Rear Camera, Leather Seats, Onstar, Satellite radio, etc. I traded in a Ford Escape that I loved, but couldn't afford the gas.(21mpg) I am saving approximately $50.oo more per month on gas than my car payment is. Last fill up my average was 38.5 mpg, that's a combination of city/hwy. The 6 speed manual transmission is fun and gives me more control. Overall great value. Buy one have some fun!"

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 600
overall rating 10 of 10rating detailsPros: "6 speed, turbo, quiet, sturdy, stereo, on star"
Cons: "Tight cup holders, door locks under radio"
Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10
"Less than 600 miles, but so far so great. I had a 2010 Mazda 3I and traded it in on this ride. The Manual transmission is a blast to drive and I highly recommend it if you don't mind shifting. It is very low geared so be prepared to to shift often if you are in town. So far getting 37 MPG with 70% rural and Hwy driving, and that is with the AC running about half the time! Very quiet and comfy ride. I love the two toned interior and everything is easily within reach. Only complaint is the cupholders. They seem to swallow a large MacD ice tea cup and it's almost a two handed job to get it out. Hopefully the cup grasps will wear with time and it won't be such a pain."

I am a Radiation Therapist who in in my early career worked extensively in radiation oncology clinical practice. I have worked in both public and private radiation oncology centres, and held roles from an entry level therapist caring for patients undergoing treatment at the Prince of Wales and the Mater Hospital Newcastle, to the chief planning role at St Vincents Sydney and deputy chief of clinical operations at the Mater Hospital Sydney. I worked as the senior therapist in Papua New Guinea in 1985 (an amazing clinical and life experience). As a clinician I was also a casual lecturer in Radiation Therapy at the University of Sydney.
In my academic role at the University of Newcastle I am currently Program Convenor of the three Medical Radiation Science degrees (diagnostic radiography, nuclear medicine, radiation therapy) which have grown from small niche programs totaling around 60-70 students to large programs totaling over 200 students. The MRS programs are some of the highest rated programs by students within the University, and by the clinical professions.
In my current academic role I am also Deputy Head of the School of Health Sciences, Chair of the School of Health Sciences Teaching and Learning committee (around 10 health professional programs), I am on the Faculty of Health Teaching and Learning committee, and on the University Teaching & Learning Computing committee.
My professional role includes being active on national accreditation boards and teams, being on the editorial review boards of The Radiographer (Aust) and Radiography (UK), and being appointed in 2013 as Associate Editor of Journal of Medical Radiation Sciences.
I have a PhD, and Graduate Diploma in Epidemiology from the University of Newcastle, a Diploma of Applied Science in Radiation Therapy from the University of Sydney, and a Graduate Certificate in Higher Education from the University of New South Wales.
I am interested and active in researching issues to do with health professional practice, and the scholarship of teaching and learning.I am comfortable working in both qualitative and quantitative styles of research, and I enjoy developing novel approaches of data collection and analysis.
My clinically orientated research focuses on issues of advanced practice, emerging technology assessment and implementation, and new professional roles that provide increased care and support for patients undergoing treatment. I have undertaken international training and completed courses in advanced RT issues such as: Radiation Therapy planning (2007, 2009 in Los Vegas, USA); Molecular Imaging in Oncology (2012 Florence, Italy); and PET/CT in Oncology (2012 Vienna, Austria)
My teaching and learning focussed research looks at students conceptions of their learning and experience (my PhD and publication) assessment methods for active and reflective learning (several publications), methods to evaluate teaching including peer assessment (published work), and novel approaches to T&L (emerging publications). A highlight includes presenting my work on students' conceptions of learning at the 13th Annual International Conference on Education in Athens Greece in 2011.

If you had had the opportunity three months ahead of time to prevent Darfur's genocide, what would you have done?
The world faces such an opportunity today. On Jan. 9, just 84 days from now, the people of southern Sudan and of the disputed region of Abyei -- which straddles northern and southern Sudan -- will vote in referendums on self-determination. If held freely and fairly, these votes will result in an independent, oil-rich Southern Sudan. If not, the catastrophic war between the north and the south that ended in 2005, after 2.5 million deaths, could resume.

The National Recreation Policy for Young People
The National Recreation Policy for Young People which was published in September 2007 provides a strategic framework for the promotion of positive recreational opportunities aimed principally at young people aged 12 to 18. The Policy adopts an evidence-based approach and makes proposals to address issues that emerged from a public consultation process, undertaken by the Office for the Minister Children and Youth Affairs (now Department of Children and Youth Affairs - DCYA) to give all interested parties, including young people, a chance to have a say in the development of the policy. The process of developing the policy was also informed through the findings of independent research commissioned by the DCYA to measure the recreational and leisure activities of young Irish people and, in particular, to examine what they do in their free time, the barriers and supports experienced in accessing recreational opportunities and their aspirations in regard to leisure and recreation.
Guiding Principles
The Six guiding principles guiding principles underlining the recreation policy are;
Centred on young people
Family- and community-oriented
Core Objectives
The Policy sets out seven core objectives:
Give young people a voice in the design, implementation and monitoring of recreation policies and facilities.
Promote organised activities for young people and examine ways to motivate them to be involved.
Ensure that the recreational needs of young people are met through the development of youth-friendly and safe environments.
Maximise the range of recreational opportunities available for young people who are marginalised, disadvantaged or who have a disability.
Promote relevant qualifications/standards in the provision of recreational activities.
Develop a partnership approach in developing and funding recreational opportunities across the statutory, community and voluntary sectors.
Improve information on, evaluation and monitoring of recreational provision for young people in Ireland.
There are 76 actions required under the 7 stated objectives. The DCYA has written to all relevant departments and agencies with responsibilities arising from the policy informing them of their obligations under the policy and requesting that they reflect in their business plans and strategy statements a commitment to delivering on the relevant elements of the Recreation Policy.
The DCYA will also be working with relevant Government departments to examine their spending programmes with a view to the adoption of a more integrated strategic approach to meeting prioritised needs at a level consistent with the National Recreation Policy.
Supporting Play and Recreation Policy Implementation
Between November 2005 and March 2008, the development and promotion of play and the play policy was supported by a National Play Resource Centre (NPRC), commissioned and funded by the DCYA.
Since then, and with the publication of the Recreation Policy, the Children's Services Development and International Unit (CSDIU) within the DCYA has been developing an approach to continue the momentum for the Play Policy and expand support for the implementation of the Recreation Policy.
The CS intends to directly support this work with dedicated staff over the next period, with expert input as appropriate. Work underway includes
Liaison with relevant departments/agencies on developments in line with the play and recreation policies
The development of a regular play/recreation forum network of key local authority, Sports and Arts Officers
Commission of a report on youth café provision and guidance on youth café start up and operation
Management of available dormant accounts schemes related to play and recreation
collation of an initial view of the state of development of local play and recreation plans -
The National Play and Recreation Resource Centre was set up to promote Ready Steady Play! A National Recreation Policy and Teenspace National Recreation Policy for Young People.
Youth Cafés
During the drafting of the Recreational Policy, the development of youth cafés was identified by young people as their single biggest need. The Recreation Policy recognizes that youth cafés offer great potential for providing a wide range of developmental, educational and information programmes to young people. As part of the process of promoting the development of a coherent, structured programme for youth cafés, DCYA undertook survey of 25 or so existing youth cafés.
Following this survey, the National Children's Advisory Council's (NCAC) support was requested to advice on the development of a youth café model and to produce a toolkit and guide to setting up youth cafés. NUI Galway agreed to undertake the research on behalf of the NCAC. This research examines key issues like what range of services should be provided by youth cafés, whether one statutory agency or multi-agencies should be centrally involved in the promotion of youth cafés. It also looks at what is the best way of ensuring their continued operation.
This work will guide Government in ensuring that any funding that may be available is targeted and co-ordinated most effectively on a model or models of youth cafés which meet the needs identified by young people themselves. It will also ensure that any additional funding augments, without displacing, the existing inter-agency resources. A final draft of the research has been received and is currently being examined by the Minister.
The NUIG has also been requested to prepare a toolkit and guide to support groups setting up youth cafés. This will be a "how to" guide which will deal with issues such as guiding principles, practical operational matters and provide advice and tips on the day to day management and ongoing development of a café as well as setting up cafés. They are expected to be available to download shortly.
Playbus Measure
The Playbus Measure arises from action 25 of Ready, Steady, Play!, a National Play Policy. The measure is intended to provide interventions that support the family unit particularly those parents/guardians, and children experiencing social exclusion, for example, through play development and parenting development outreach services.
The main aims of the measure are
To provide a play area for children
and -
To provide a resource area on the bus for parents/guardians of these children to support skills development.
Funding for the Playbus measure has been provided by the DCYA via the Dormant Account Fund, Social and Economic Disadvantage Category. Funding has been allocated to purchase and refurbish Playbuses to support children and their parents, experiencing social exclusion particularly in disadvantaged and isolated areas. Pobal are operating the scheme on behalf of the DCYA. The closing date for receipt of applications, was 28th March 2008. Six Playbus schemes have been approved under the Children's Playbus measure.

Chiffon Soft A-Line with Beaded Empire Waist Style WG3128
I had put one dress on lay away that i liked, but later just wasnt feeling it. I went back today after looking at more online, and tried on 3 of my choices. I felt ok in the first, the third was ok, but i really wasnt feelin the runching, and the second, it just felt right, and i felt my eyes glow when i had it on. now i KNOW i have the right dress and i cant wait to wear it in september for my renewal of vows!
May 17, 2013
I purchased a gown almost like this one. The color was different. It made me feel wonderful and like a bride because I am plus size and I am not one for dresses but this was just WOW for me. I can not wait to wear it for my wedding. I love the softness and the flowyness of the gown.

The Perfect Dress
Just got this dress and can't wait to wear it in December. It is absolutley gorgeous and the pictures do not show the details. I am getting some matching sleeves added during alterations. We tried them with it at the fitting and they just made this dress stand out. It was the 3rd one I tried on, and after it, nothing else compared. When they put the veil and sleeves on, that was it. It is going to be perfect for my small, casual "Alice in Wonderland" wedding. Soooo excited!
March 8, 2013
It found me!
On my second trip into David's Bridal, we searched through the racks to find a competitor to the dress I had liked on my first visit. This dress was not originally included in my "group of favorites" After quite a few dresses, many no's and narrowed down to two yes's, my consultant brought this one into the room - in ivory - and said "let's just try this one" When I walked out of the dressing room, my mom started to cry and that said it all. The detailing is simple and elegant - pictures do not do it justice, and the ivory color is absolutely beautiful! The fabric is soft, flowing, and very lightweight. Perfect for my beach wedding!

The human-caused Waldo Canyon Fire began on June 22 - 23, 2012 and was not fully contained until July 10, 2012. The fire originated in the Waldo Canyon area north of U.S. Highway 24, and by noon on Saturday, June 23, rising smoke plumes were clearly visible through the region. By Monday, June 25, the burn area had engulfed more than 4,000 acres, and the expanding fire threatened numerous populated areas. On June 26, that "terrible Tuesday," the inferno, driven by ferocious winds, swelled to epic proportions and swept through Queen's Canyon, over its ridge, and down the slope into the Mountain Shadows community.
To commemorate the one year anniversary of this disaster, PPLD's Special Collections department has assembled the exhibit In Our Own Backyard: Photographs of and after the Waldo Canyon Fire. These stunning photos will be on display at East Library through June 27.
In addition, on Sunday, June 23 from 2 - 3 p.m. at East Library, five Colorado Springs photographers discuss their experiences making photographs in the Mountain Shadows neighborhood following the destructive Waldo Canyon Fire. Linda Pearce, Warren Pearce, Eric Wulfsberg, Tracy Goodale, and Dan Shelley will show and discuss their images. Registration is not required for this free event.

PPLD will draw six winners from correct forms weekly, notify the winners, and direct them to Chapel Hills Mall to collect their prizes.
At the end of the game, Chapel Hills will host a party where winners will be drawn from the cumulative ballots to win one of five grand prize eReaders.
Each Sunday, The Gazette will develop one question from an article in each of six different sections of the paper – local news, national news, international news, sports, business, and life.
Each Monday, Chapel Hills Mall will produce entry forms containing the six questions. Entry Forms and Game Maps can be picked up at Chapel Hills Mall Guest Services (between 11 a.m. and 7 p.m.) or at a game kiosk.
Throughout the week, participants will locate the six news kiosks set up in the mall and complete their entry form. Completed forms can be dropped off at any PPLD location by the weekly deadline, Friday at 6 p.m.
Each week, Chapel Hills Mall Guest Services will award the weekly prizes ($10 Gift Cards).
At the end of the game, Chapel Hills Mall, The Gazette, and PPLD will host a party to select five grand prize winners from among all entries.

SparkFun, a Boulder-based company that uses DIY electronics to create innovative, fun, and unique projects, is launching a National Tour in July that will bring its passion for teaching skills such as programming, soldering, and building circuits to Pikes Peak Library District.
From 9 a.m. - 5 p.m. on July 13 at East Library, teens in the Pikes Peak region are invited to come learn about wearable electronics (sometimes called e-textiles), one of the latest trends in the embedded electronics world. With the ProtoSnap LilyPad Development Board, teens will be introduced to sewable electronics through the LilyPad system, a technology developed through a partnership between SparkFun and MIT Professor Leah Buechley.
Attendees to the program will receive the instruction and supporting materials necessary to teach electronics on their own. PPLD asks that teens attending the program consider volunteering to become a mentor to teach younger library patrons how to use the LilyPad system.
What if I have no experience with electronics?
SparkFun's curriculum is designed such that even the most novice user can explore the world of electronics. By the end of the training, you will have a firm grasp on not only how to use the kit yourself, but how to teach it on your own.
Who will teach the workshops during the National Tour?
The tour is being led by the skilled team from the SparkFun Department of Education. Each workshop will be taught by highly-trained and knowledgeable members of the SparkFun staff.
Registration is limited to 30 teens, ages 12 - 18. Register by clicking here. Questions? Contact IT Officer Carolyn Coulter at (719) 531-6333, x1100.

Talking It Out: Getting to Agreement is a unique photo and story exhibit that features Coloradans working together to solve problems. The exhibit tells the stories of people and communities who have made a choice to solve their problems constructively. It gives evidence of the changes that can be made when we deliberately choose collaborative conflict resolution methods.
Penrose Library will host a panel discussion program on Thursday, June 6 at 7 p.m. in conjunction with the display. Mike Maday, Mediator and Legislative Chair for the Mediation Association of Colorado and Monica Lichtenbeger, President of Phoenix Strategies, Inc. will talk about how conflict resolution professionals fit the fix to the fuss, helping people resolve conflicts in ways that save time, money, and heartache.
Exhibit Display Schedule
- May 25 - July 25 at Penrose Library, 20 N. Cascade Ave.
- August 1 - September 25 at East Library, 5550 N. Union Blvd.

Can't find the information you need? Have a research project? Pikes Peak Library District has a brand new program to help you.
Professional librarians at the East and Penrose Libraries are available to assist you with your information needs, whether you are looking for a great book to read, starting a business, or researching local history.
Research topics include, but are not limited to, finding materials for children or teens, locating health and wellness information, beginning legal research, and finding grant information for nonprofits. If you would like to learn how to search the library's catalog or subscription databases more efficiently, we can help you with that too.
Begin by completing the online form on our website. From our home page (ppld.org), click on Research and select Book a Librarian. You can also locate the service by clicking on the dropdown arrow under "How do I?" on the left side of the home page and selecting Book a Librarian.
Fill out the form with your information, including your library card number. If your research request differs from the options provided, describe your question or research need in as much detail as possible.
We'll look at your request and determine the best person on our staff to meet with you based on expertise and availability. We'll get back to you as soon as we can to schedule your appointment. Appointments may be scheduled for up to one hour at either the East or Penrose Library.
The Book a Librarian service is open to any PPLD cardholder. We cannot offer advice (e.g., medical, legal, investment) except to advise users of reputable sources of evaluative information. Also, we cannot offer troubleshooting or maintenance help with personal computers or devices. However, computer classes are available at several PPLD locations.
For questions, you can contact PPLD by email, chat, phone, or in person at any of our fourteen locations.

At a special event held at Penrose Library on Wednesday, February 13, El Pomar Foundation announced it had approved a challenge grant of $750,000 to support the Library's Tri-Building Project to create a 21st Century library system, which will bring significant improvements to Pikes Peak Library District.
The funds from El Pomar are earmarked for use at PPLD's Penrose Library, but the funds will allow for wider District-wide improvements at PPLD, including renovations and upgrades at PPLD's East Library and the opening of a new facility in 2014 at 1175 Chapel Hills Drive as well. PPLD's new facility will feature content creation areas for creative professionals, business incubation and hoteling space for small businesses and nonprofits, enhanced areas for job seekers to find career assistance, and much more!
El Pomar's generous grant will allow the Library to move forward on construction and renovation in 2013, with a projected opening of the new facility in 2014. The challenge grant is contingent upon The Pikes Peak Library District Foundation raising $3.15 million by January 1, 2016.

An Assistive Technology Station is an area set aside with equipment and software designed to help patrons who are blind, visually impaired, or those who have limited or no use of their hands to assist them with reading and writing tasks and accessing other resources on a personal computer. Pikes Peak Library District has two such stations: at Penrose and East libraries.
A typical station is equipped with an adjustable table, a large-print keyboard, a track ball mouse, headphones with attached microphone, and speakers. The computers are loaded with specialized software.
Although Library staff have a general knowledge of what is available at each location, it is the patron who becomes the expert user. The applications are so specialized with numerous hot keys and set-up requirements, they are mastered only as one spends time using each program.
For more information about these stations, you can watch the PPLD TV video above, email email@example.com, or call (719) 531-6333, x1371 or x2309.

Police searching for suspect who robbed Juanita bank at gunpoint
December 20, 2012 · Updated 5:22 PM
The Juanita Branch of the Wells Fargo Bank was robbed just before 5:30 p.m. tonight by a male adult. The suspect entered the bank and displayed a handgun while demanding the money.
The Kirkland Police Department responded and was on scene within 90 seconds of the call going out. Several employees and customers were inside the bank at the time of the robbery with no injuries reported.
The suspect left on foot prior to police arrival and a K9 track was not successful. The suspect is described as a white male adult 30-40 years of age.
He wore a black half-mask pulled up over his mouth and nose along with a blue hooded jacket. The male had blue eyes, light colored eyebrows, and carried a black bag. The suspect was described as approximately 5' 10" tall with a thin build.
The investigation is ongoing at this time and Kirkland Police have not confirmed if the US Bank robbery in Renton had any connection.
For more information about the incident please contact Lieutenant John Haslip at 425-587-3424 or firstname.lastname@example.com

The Constitutional Council was a body of 25 appointed Icelandic citizens, which was charged with creating a constitutional draft between 6 April and 29 July 2011. Initially the constitution was meant to be revised by a nationally elected assembly, but following a controversial Supreme Court decision to void the assembly elections, the Icelandic parliament (Althingi) appointed the elects to form a council.
The Mondragón Co-operative Corporation (MCC) is the world's biggest industrial worker cooperative as well as a succesful and long-withstanding multinational corporation. It is an iconic model for the global co-operative movement, and operates under the ideals of participation and solidarity. In operation since 1956, Mondragón is based in the Basque country. It is indeed the Basque country's leading business group, and the seventh largest in Spain.

A team of Burnaby firefighters based in the Edmonds hall are at the top of Sophie Liang's Christmas card list.
Earlier this week, a team of Burnaby firefighters was called to Liang's second floor residence.
Liang was taking care of her 22-month-old daughter Annie when she had to go downstairs to prepare some baby food.
Annie was in her crib when Liang left the room, but within seconds, Annie had climbed up on the crib and somehow locked the door to the room from the inside.
When Liang came back from the kitchen, she couldn't get into her daughter's room and when Annie started crying, Liang called 911.
Ladder 2 from the Edmonds fire hall were there within minutes and had to go up to the second-floor balcony and enter Annie's room through the window. The firefighters were able to unlock the door and let a grateful Liang reunite with her daughter.
"I am so thankful to the Burnaby firefighters," said Liang. "They saved my baby."
Liang made a visit to the Edmonds fire hall to thank the firefighters who saved her daughter.
"We get calls like this all the time," said Burnaby fire chief Shaun Redmond. "It's all in the course of our daily work. ... I think the lesson to be learned here is you can't leave your child unattended, even for a short amount of time. Things can happen very quickly, so please, don't leave your child unattended."

Discovery Place KIDS–Rockingham has received a $25,000 gift from FATZ to be used for general project support. The donation is part of the ongoing capital campaign for the new children's museum that will help meet facility and endowment needs and provide funding for exhibition upgrades, fabrication and maintenance.
"Our mission is to offer great food while taking care of people in a way that feels like home," said Karen Margolis, operating partner of FATZ in Rockingham. "Our restaurant is part of the fabric of this community, and we are proud to contribute to the growth of Richmond County and the development of educational opportunities for our children."
Cafe Enterprises, Inc., headquartered in Taylors, S.C., serves as the parent company of 48 FATZ restaurants in North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Georgia and Virginia. With 3,600 associates and operating partners from the areas where its restaurants are located, the company prides itself on nurturing strong connections to the community at large by maintaining genuine, detail-focused service in a warm and inviting atmosphere. FATZ's commitment to community service has resulted in a number of rewarding and successful philanthropic efforts over the years. Founded in 1988 in Spartanburg, S.C., the first FATZ was a converted peach stand that started out as one single, small restaurant. Cafe Enterprises was later established, enabling FATZ to expand with more locations in states across the South.
"FATZ and Discovery Place KIDS–Rockingham are family-focused regional assets that encourage quality time spent together," said Kenneth Robinette, Discovery Place KIDS–Rockingham campaign cabinet member. "We are delighted to have them as a partner in this endeavor, and Karen as a leader in this community, as we build a destination that encourages social and educational opportunities for this area's youngest residents."
As the museum prepares for an early 2013 opening, a community phase continues to secure funding needed for renovation of the building, program development, exhibition design and fabrication plus long-term support. Discovery Place KIDS–Rockingham will offer an experience that encourages children and their caregivers to interact together through imagination, play and creativity.
The Discovery Place KIDS–Rockingham project was launched by the commitment of $6.6 million in funds from the Cole Foundation and the Richmond Community Foundation. Their visionary leadership gifts, which were facilitated by The Foundation For The Carolinas, are intended for the long-term sustainability of the museum.

This year's biggest chart toppers were on hand at the annual iHeart Radio event in Las Vegas over the weekend and rocked not only the stage, but the red carpet. Taylor Swift went hue for hue with the red carpet, while the women of The Vampire Diaries showed some major sex appeal with daring backless dresses. Miley Cyrus and Gwen Stefani were visions in platinum blonde locks, while deadmau5 and new girlfriend Kat Von D made one of their first public appearances as a couple.
Pink incorporated her trademark daring high wire stunts into her performance and later came back down to ground level to perform Just A Girl with No Doubt. Taylor Swift sang her first single from next month's Red, getting the crowd on their feet with We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together. Pitbull and Ne-Yo hit the stage together, while Billy Joe Armstrong hit the stage with his guitar at the end of his band's set.

Some of the most challenging times in therapy are when you need to respond to (possibly narcissistic) clients who are in their angry/critical mode, to clients who say that their childhood issues are resolved and they see no point in looking back, or to ones who say you can't possibly understand them. Such interactions can easily push "hot buttons" in even the most seasoned therapist by reactivating feelings associated with early life experiences. In this course, you'll learn what to say and how to use your body to deliver profoundly effective, on-the-spot responses during difficult encounters; ways that can quickly mobilize you and restore the receptive, flexible, and empathically attuned you.
Wendy Behary, L.C.S.W., is the founder and director of The Cognitive Therapy Center of New Jersey and The New Jersey Institute for Schema Therapy. Her private practice is largely dedicated to treating narcissists and the people who surround them. She's the author of "Disarming the Narcissist: Surviving and Thriving with the Self-Absorbed."
Session 1: Identifying clients and situations that trigger "hot buttons" • Discussing the feelings that follow • Exploring the parallel process in the client-therapist relationship.
Session 2: Strategies for interventions during difficult moments • Dealing with client rigidity, avoidance, emotional detachment, and overcompensation • Using adaptive re-parenting, empathic confrontation, preemptive measures, self-disclosure, and limit-setting.
Session 3: Differentiating between the "Who and the "How" • Understanding the subtle messages we convey through body language • Exploring the impact of our messages on client response patterns.
Session 4: Harnessing your professional mode • Managing balance between your competent self and your sensitive self • How to cope after challenging moments in the therapy room.
1. Identify three ways to use your body to deal with an angry, critical client.
2. Define empathic confrontation and describe how to use it.
3. Explain the difference between intention and presentation, and how an awareness of the difference can help you and your clients.
