Nancy Hoover, who used to be a counselor at Pepper Middle School before the district closed the school in June, held back tears at the Philadelphia Federation of Teachers' community rally held Tuesday, Aug. 20, on the steps of J.S. Jenks Elementary School in Chestnut Hill. Hoover, who has been laid off because of the district's current financial crisis, emphasized the crucial role counselors play in students lives.
Unless the district receives an estimated $50 million in school funding, Jenks may not have a counselor or other essential non-teaching staff in September.
Hoover told a group of more than 20 participants that if the School Reform Commission and Superintendent Hite have their way "your counselor will not be available to help your child in September." She said Hite has stated that he would try to have counselors available "for the largest and neediest schools."
"I wonder how he will choose which are the neediest schools because I believe that the neediest school is the one that your child is in," Hoover said.
She said elementary school children do not have the cognitive or language skills to advocate for themselves.
"I worry about the children who have to deal with problems way beyond their years," Hoover said. "They often become frustrated and are seen as problem children instead of a child with a problem."
She said many problems can be "rectified easily" if there is a counselor or other adult there to "help them and guide them through – not fix it for them."
Hoover shared a story about how her role as a counselor had a profound effect on a student she referred to as "Paula."
She said Paula's mother died in December 2012, and Paula and her two sisters were sent to foster homes, when Paula's grandmother became unable to care for the girls. Paula's 2-year-old sister Greta had to go to a different foster home because "no one wanted to take three girls – especially one still in diapers."
"Greta had lost her mother in December and was taken from her grandmother shortly after and then lost two sisters all in a period of three months," Hoover said. "When people in her foster home and community asked her [Greta] her name, she would reply with 'Paula.'"
Hoover said Greta's caretakers were concerned and confused by her response.
"They had no idea why she was saying her name was Paula – when clearly it wasn't," Hoover said.
She said Greta was asking for her older sister because "she needed someone that she knew who was close to her and would care for her."
"Paula was so traumatized by this that she began to act out by using really profane language and threatening fights, and because she was not willing to share her difficult circumstances with anyone, all her teachers and school administrators were really losing patience with her."
Hoover said as her counselor she was able to coordinate with the Department of Human Services and STS and have her case manager come to the school and meet with the principal and teachers so they were all aware of her circumstances. Hoover added that she was able to get her visiting time with her little sister Greta, and slowly Paula's behavior issues decreased.
Hoover said sometimes counselors may be the only stable long-term relationship in a student's life.
She added that because the district closed Pepper Middle School, Paula's life will again be disrupted and this time she may not have a counselor or other adult she can confide in.
"Our children did not create this financial crisis, and they should not have to suffer its consequences," Hoover said.
Evette Jones, community engagement coordinator for the Philadelphia Federation of Teachers, said the current financial crisis is "unprecedented in the city of Philadelphia."
She said many politicians and local leaders are products of the Philadelphia's public schools and "they've forgotten where they came from and what it was like to be in a public school setting."
"Many of the politicians who are making these decisions – believe it or not – were once teachers themselves, but they couldn't cut it so they went into politics," Jones said. "They forget that our children who are our future need the same opportunities that they were given."
She said politicians are trying to "make it appear as though its our fault."
Jones said politicians and officials want the public to believe that "its our seniority that is causing our children to fail and that's less than the truth."
"We are being demoralized," Jones said. "We are being beaten down. We are being thrown down. We are tired of being stepped on and trodden on."
She said politicians, leaders and other representatives claim to want full-site selection at every school.
"What they are not saying is – believe it or not – well over 180 schools have full-site selection," Jones said. "Every school in Philadelphia has the ability to site select some of their teaching staff."
She said officials are "twisting the facts."
"This has absolutely nothing to do with children," Jones said. "This has to do with money and that's it, and the fact that the politicians in this city and state won't fund our public schools properly is a travesty.
She said politicians are trying to destroy the PFT union with "children as collateral damage." Jones said, adding that the PFT represents more than 15,000 public school employees " who are directly responsible for educating, nurturing, feeding and keeping our city's children safe while they are in school."
Jones said the PFT, parents, students, community leaders and faith-based organizations are "fighting for things that create the best learning environment for children" – extracurricular activities, sports, drama, choir, clubs and smaller class sizes.
"We are fighting for technology to give our kids the skills they need in the workplace of the future," she said. "We are fighting for school services like functioning libraries with a librarian – not just a library but a certified librarian inside."
She said the PFT is fighting "so our children can function in the 21st century."
Mt. Airy resident Tom Quinn, 44, who teaches government and history at Central High School, came to the rally with his daughter Nayeli Quinn Camacho, a sixth grader, to show their support. His daughter held a sign that read "Art is still learning."
Quinn said that the current cuts to education would "undermine the teachers ability to educate children."
"A lot of teachers are really passionate about teaching in an urban area, whether they are from the urban area or not," Quinn said.
He said teachers in Philadelphia are paid 19 percent less than most suburban school districts. Officials and politicians are "undermining the good educations that students could be getting" by cutting teachers salaries and critical staff.
"We already lose most teachers in five years because they get burned out," Quinn said.
He said this situation was not caused by any of the current contract issues but rather about public education and how disproportionate funding affects a city like Philadelphia.
Jones agreed.
She said the PFT wants politicians and government legislators in Harrisburg to "create a full and fair funding formula – not just for Philadelphia – but for the state because Pennsylvania is one of only three states that doesn't have one in this country."
"We need a fair funding formula," Jones said. "We should not have to go around every year begging for money. This [year] is worse because now they are trying to blame our contract on the district's financial crisis.
"It's like dangling a carrot in front of kids faces to say you're not getting your money unless I get what I want," Jones said referring to Governor Tom Corbett's withholding $45 million in state funding earmarked for the School District of Philadelphia. "That's ridiculous and our kids should not have to give concessions."

Halfway through June, its very difficult to stay in hockey mode. I admit I clocked out of hockey when the Sabres did (and I REALLY clocked out when Nashville was eliminated) and figured there would be a few weeks about complaining of the heat before the weeks of complaining ' is it October yet?'
So, it was nothing short of perfect timing when Ted Black decided to bring forth another bloggers summit, not so much to reflect on last season, but what changes are under way before the new season gets going. Ted, like few if any other hockey executives, expresses his appreciation for what bloggers do, and how they keep doing such in the offseason. There was mention that passes for bloggers to attend games in the press box will continue (I promise this blog is going to be making attempts for that this year) as well as locker room access post games for those who attend often enough.
In fact, the players and the team themselves were a small topic if it was even discussed. Instead, Mr. Black wanted everyone to bring forth questions about how to change Sabres games experience, the physical experience and the like.
I actually joined the 21st century this time around, and brought my laptop to the event, not just a notepad and a pen. I was able to take quicker, and thus more, notes, and I never know where to start when actually putting the blog post together. The most exciting part of the evening, I thought, was the summit actually taking place in the locker room. The first question I got after announcing that on Twitter, was if any tables, chairs, bloggers etc were on top of the logo embedded in the carpet.
Give the Sabres staff the credit, people. We were placed around it, the barrier of tables keeping anyone from having the chance to go anywhere near it. At the last summit, we all had the tour of the locker room, when at the time recently used gear was being aired out at the time.
Fortunately, this time the air had been well cleared. But even with all the gear and equipment having been cleared out, it still felt like hockey season in there, and I was half expecting Jordan Leopold to come out of the shower, wondering what we were all doing there.
Maybe more than half.
Similar to the last summit, it began with announcements of new things that were coming to the organization, things being listed so quickly our tweets could hardly keep up. The one that got my attention, and may have caused me to smile to myself, was that Rick Jeanneret signing a multi-year contract. Of course, the term ' multi-year' is a commonly used term on the Sabres, sometimes the never number is actually revealed, but anything that is at least one more year with Mr. Jeanneret is plenty enough.
In his 42nd year calling Sabres games, he will be doing more games than last year, and Rob Ray will be taking over in color commentary full time. I really thought this game at the most perfect time, especially since Rick is on his way into two hall of fames. To quote Mr. Black when asked if we will honor Rick in any other additional ways, he said the best way it can be done is to give him the chance to say that the Sabres have won the Stanley Cup.
Not to be late to the party, but starting on Monday WGR, who has been working with the Sabres for 26 years overall, will begin airing a live broadcast entitled Sabres Hockey Hotline. The show will air Monday through Friday, 10 am to noon, with adjusted hours during the football season, and hosted by Kevin Sylvester It'll be especially nice for a summer program to chase away the offseason blues.
One last thing to focus on with the broadcasting aspect for the Sabres, we will no longer get the downstate MSG feed during home Rangers and Islanders games. Maybe I'm the only one who is this excited about it, since it really is only four games a year, but the only thing worse than watching the away feed is when your team loses.
The first topic of discussion, which were pre-determined ahead of time by email responses to avoid all of us running off on tangents, was changes coming to the First Niagara Center as well as the surrounding area. Last year, with the arena name change, there was some rush to get the First Niagara Sign up that an exterior paint job is due for the building. I was never under the impression that there was a concern with the color of the arena, if anything it makes it easier to find in a snow storm, but changes are coming.
There are plans to spruce up the surrounding area of the arena. Terry Pegula recently paid the $100,000 bill for a garden neighboring the area of the arena, adding something to the waterfront plans the rest of us are waiting for. There are other ideas for the area, including the parking lot directly across from the front of the arena. Ideas that are still in the making, of course, or unable to be announced at this time. Ted did however say that there are no plans to bring forth any kind of business to the area, as to not hurt the local ones that market with Sabres game nights.
It was mentioned that enhancing the area around the arena is most important important with the thousands of people who go inside the building 42 nights a year.
Another important aspect in entertaining those thousands of people, is the presentation of the game, which was a popular topic of the night. Jenifer Dunford, the Sabres Director of Game Presentation, sat in on the summit and was open to any ideas that were brought forth, and said that she always is, especially with the amount given to her weekly by Mr. Black. There are teams that have in game host, and various other quirks that go on during games, like the necessity of keeping a toddler entertained. But Ms. Dunford says, that in an effort to make the game experience balanced, they want to keep the focus on hockey, not so much the surrounding environment.
After all, we all know the music selection is much better after a win.
For more on Buffalo Sabres Nation's take on the third blogger summit, including how no one benefits from ticket sales, if the Winter Classic is coming to Buffalo again, and which member of the Sabres organization is not allowed below the 13th row in the 100 level, stay reading for the next post!

FACTORY REPLACEMENT COVERAGE (Luxury & Economy)
Factory Like Coverage is just like it sounds -- a warranty that covers your automobile similar to when the auto was purchased brand new. It also features unlimited mileage something that most factory warranties won't give. This is an "exclusionary" policy, which in laymans terms means a policy where we tell you what isn't covered, and everything else is. As you can imagine, this is the best type of coverage money can buy.
Factory Like Coverage covers the reasonable cost to remedy any operating mechanical or electrical failure of the vehicle, for the time indicated on the contract application, except as specified as excluded, subject to the provisions, terms and conditions of this contract.
As you can clearly see, coverage of any operating mechanical or electrical failure essentially mimics the factory warranty. Standard exclusions such as fabric convertible tops, brake pads, tires, etc., do apply.
In addition to the Factory Like Coverage being the best coverage available, you can customize your coverage with coverage up to ten years from the time of purchase, and four deductible choices starting at $50, $100, $200, and $500.

Media Statements & Speeches
Commissioner John R. Norris Statement
March 20, 2014
Docket Nos. RM14-2-000, EL14-22-000, EL14-23-000, EL14-24-000, EL14-25-000, EL14-26-000, EL14-27-000, and RP14-442-000
Item Nos. M-1, M-2 and M-3
Gas-Electric Coordination Orders
I wanted to first recognize the hard work of this team over the last two years. You have conducted extensive industry outreach, organized the technical conferences that the Commission and Commission staff have held, and now have prepared these draft orders.
I know that many in industry have been working hard, particularly over the last several months, to find solutions to gas-electric coordination issues. I appreciate all the work that has been done thus far to offer solutions. I especially commend the Natural Gas Council for its efforts. I recognize that finding solutions is particularly challenging for the natural gas industry which faces a greater share of the burden with respect to necessary changes to allow for the better coordination of the gas and electric industries.
I support todays order because I believe a more formal process with a specific timeline for action is needed now to bring together all segments of the gas and electric industries to find solutions to gas-electric issues facing our industry. NAESB is an appropriate, consensus-building forum for the next step in that formal process. I believe that industry efforts in recent months provide for a good head start in the NAESB process. I emphasize that todays orders provide industry with flexibility to find creative, consensus solutions to gas-electric coordination issues.
I believe these orders promote a more efficient use of our existing pipeline infrastructure by looking first to how pipelines and electric generators are operating before investing additional funds in new infrastructure.
Our orders today offer one potential set of solutions to the challenges we are facing due to the increased reliance on natural gas in recent years. But, these orders are not the only answer to the problems facing industry related to reliance on natural gas as a fuel source. We will keep an open mind as we consider any results of the NAESB consensus process and any additional comments placed in the record regarding todays orders. While we have conducted comprehensive outreach to industry over the last two years and todays orders represent the results of that outreach, I also believe that industry is in the best position to assess potential solutions. I want to emphasize that I am not committed to the specific proposals set forth in the NOPR. Rather, I am truly open to other options that may be proposed by industry, both the gas and electric sectors, that address the Commissions gas-electric coordination concerns. In that respect, I urge all of you to participate in the NAESB process and provide your essential input to find solutions to these looming issues.

In the wake of the Boy Scouts of America's decision to delay voting on whether to lift its ban on gay members and leaders, Orange County scouting leaders said they'll continue deferring to national policies.
"All I can tell you is that the announcement came from the national council and is about national policy," said Jeff Herrmann, president and Scout executive of the Boy Scouts of America Orange County Council, "and our Boy Scout council has agreed with the national organization, not just on this issue, but all issues, to follow national policy."
After recently announcing that it would reconsider the ban in favor of allowing local chapters to decide whether to admit gays, the national organization instead opted to vote on the matter in May at an executive board meeting in Irving, Texas.
In announcing the postponement, the organization said it needed more time to study the issue of sexual orientation.
The national ban is part of Orange County's policy, Herrmann said, "so if it becomes an issue, we have to deal with it."
In general, Herrmann said, "We don't ask people — kids or adults — about their sexual orientation."
Herrmann said that the council operates the Newport Sea Base, along with the Irvine Ranch Outdoor Education Center, providing a wide variety of educational programs for local kids.
Both draw tens of thousands of community members, most of whom are not Scouts.
But he said the ban on gays does extend to those who participate in the Sea Scouts program, a co-ed maritime division of the Boy Scouts, with groups based in Newport.
Herrmann said the Orange County Council is still awaiting information from the national organization on how it plans to proceed with its research into the matter.
"Quite frankly, I think what the national organization assumed was that they'd make a decision today," Herrmann said. "So all the things they were prepared to share with us changed."
Nevertheless, in Orange County, the ban has been something of a non-issue, he said.
Since he started in Orange County during the summer of 2010, Herrmann said, no disputes related to sexual orientation have reached administrators at the council level.
If there are debates, he said, they seem to lack the kind of vitriol that has been present in other regions.
Huntington Beach den leader Brett Walliham said in his couple years volunteering for Cub Scout Pack 287, the issue has never come up. No openly gay parents have applied to volunteer, nor have any openly gay boys tried to join the den.
And although he said he couldn't speak on behalf of the whole group, "from a practical point of view, if nobody objected to it, nobody would ever know I guess — it's sort of like, 'Don't ask, don't tell.'"
He said neither discussions of "gay or straight" in general nor national debates surrounding the Boy Scouts organization really register with Cub Scouts, who are elementary-school-aged.

Members invited to attend Jacksonville A&P meeting
The Stuttgart Advertising and Promotion Commission has received a total of $3,637.01 from the lodging tax that went into effect on March 1. The A&P Board projects a total yearly budget of $20,000.
No action was taken during the second meeting held Thursday at the Grand Prairie Center. Since the Commission is in its first year they are still working out the fine details.
Working off other city's guidelines, rules and mission statements, the Commission decided to take information received from Jacksonville, Russellville, Fayetteville and El Dorado and highlight and delete what will work best for Stuttgart.
"Then we can come back and put what we want up on a board and go through line by line," Stuttgart A&P member Jim Craig said.
Some of the guidelines to receive money from the Commission could possibly include the need for overnight guests, bring in visitors from over a 50-mile radius, having a multiple day event and letting the money received from A&P be supplemental only.
"We don't want it to be make it or break it money," A&P Commission Chairman Amanda Holsted said.
The group discussed a website and having links from other city websites. The forms to apply for the money, once approved, will be available through the website.
Stuttgart A&P members also were invited to the Jacksonville Advertising and Promotion Commission, who have been in existence for nearly 10 years. Nearly all members said they would like to discuss with other Commissions how they got the project off the ground.
The next meeting will be held at 4 p.m. Thursday, June 28, at Stuttgart City Hall. The Stuttgart A&P Commission meetings are open to the public.

Since the release of Internet Explorer 8 beta 2, we've listened, watched and learned a lot about how people use the new features and our focus has been to refine them for RC1 (the Release Candidate).
This post will give you an overview of the end user changes we've made which we'll discuss in detail over the coming weeks.
In IE8 we made a big push to make sure you can easily get to the sites and use the services you care about. If you're anything like us, you visit a lot of websites and use a lot of different services or, maybe you're not like us, and you might have a set of favorites that you stick to. Either way, IE8's features work together to streamline the experience – it takes fewer clicks and less time. We've also worked to get rid of tedious management tasks. Put a favorite on the favorites bar if you want to go there often. Use the Smart Address bar to get to any place you've been – favorite or not. Can you still organize the web into folders? Sure, you just don't have to.
Let's talk about a few of the changes we've made since beta 2.
Search box
Some of the first feedback we received concerned the search box's quick pick. People really liked the visual search suggestions and it created a new usage pattern. Now people have more search providers and they switch between them. For example, I might search for a camera on Live.com and then want to check prices on Amazon. In the past, as soon as I clicked on Amazon, it took me to the site. In RC1, it now shows visual search results for Amazon.
Because of this change, you can refine the search on Amazon, switch over to Ebay or your favorite search engine.
Figure 1: Amazon.com and Ebay.com visual search
Here's a link to get more search providers to try this out.
Smart Address bar
We received consistent feedback that people wanted to see more typed URLs. We also saw that the top four items selected from within the Smart Address Bar are: Open a previously typed URL, Open a history item, Delete a typed URL, and Open a Favorite. Conversely, Open feed and Open autocomplete suggestion were rarely selected.
Based on that information, we tuned the experience of the Smart Address Bar. We made feed results optional and hid them by default. We also streamlined the autocomplete suggestion so now it simply shows the Shift+Enter shortcut and not an entire section. This freed up space to show more results in the list – particularly when you click in the Address bar and press the down arrow.
The resulting feature delivers more typed URLs with less visual clutter.
Figure 2: Smart Address Bar -- more typed URLs
Favorites bar
The Favorites Bar is the way to keep Web Slices, favorites, and feeds one click away. People wanted to be able to add more to the point that they'd take extra steps to manage them. The most common technique was to rename each favorite in the favorites bar so that it had a shorter name. While this allows you to have more favorites showing, it's tedious. For those of you that would like to fit more on the favorites bar there's now a way to customize the bar to show shorter names or even just the favorite's icon. To try this, right click on the Favorites bar and choose Customize title widths.
Figure 3: Favorites Bar with Long Titles
Figure 4: Favorites Bar with Short Titles
In Beta 2 we introduced InPrivate Browsing and InPrivate Blocking, which help put you in control of data on your shared computer, and as you browse the Web. We heard that some of you wanted the ability to use these features separately, so we've done that. We've also made numerous other tweaks to the UI based on your feedback – more on that in a later post.
Some other popular features were Tab Groups, New Tab Page, Find on Page, Accelerators, SmartScreen Filter and Web Slices. As we blog more about the details of the IE Release Candidate, we'll discuss these plus changes to support developers, security, performance and reliability.
We hope you enjoy browsing with the release candidate, and just like with Beta 2, we'd like your feedback and are looking for ways to make IE better.

CLOMID FOR SALE, Western Illinois University basketball coach Jim Molinari will get a head start on his Summit League foes when it comes to recruiting.
The Leathernecks won't be going to the conference tournament this season — they will finish no better than ninth in league play and only eight teams qualify for the tournament. CLOMID no prescription, So, Molinari will be on the recruiting trail a few days earlier than he wants to be.
It's hard to believe, japan, craiglist, ebay, overseas, paypal, considering the hopes that the program had of taking a step forward in Molinari's third season as coach. Buy cheap CLOMID, But a roster that has been destroyed by injuries proved to be the downfall of the Leathernecks. They are down to just eight healthy players, and in a conference full of veterans and deep rosters, that's not going to get things done, CLOMID FOR SALE.
The injuries have been devastating. Guard Ceola Clark III, CLOMID results, a first-team all-conference pick last season and a preseason all-conference pick this season, Where can i find CLOMID online, has been out since early December with foot injury. Center David Gebru tore up his knee a little more than a week after Clark suffered his injury. Guard Tommie Tyler has been out with a leg injury, buy generic CLOMID. CLOMID FOR SALE, Redshirt freshman guard Billy Molinari, the coach's son, suffered a foot injury in the first game of the season and hasn't played since.
Without Clark, CLOMID maximum dosage, the Leathernecks lost not only points and assists, but leadership. The on-court play was erratic from the time Clark left, CLOMID online cod.
Gebru was playing well when he went down, CLOMID used for, and his loss cut into Western Illinois' frontcourt depth. Tyler's absence cost the Leathernecks an athletic, penetrating guard, buy CLOMID without prescription. Billy Molinari's loss left the Leathernecks without backcourt depth and another outside shooter, CLOMID FOR SALE.
When this roster was intact in November, Where can i order CLOMID without prescription, the Leathernecks showed good things. A 66-61 loss at nationally-ranked Missouri was a near-upset that could have been the biggest win in the program's history. Western Illinois showed that night there was talent on the roster that could at least make the Leathernecks a factor in the conference race, CLOMID dosage.
By the time the Summit League schedule was at its peak, After CLOMID, the Leathernecks were a shell of what they once were. CLOMID FOR SALE, There are signs that the program can turn around, though.
Forward/center Kaimarr Price has been a difficult player for opposing frontcourts to handle. He's averaging 10.5 points and 6.7 rebounds per game, japan, craiglist, ebay, overseas, paypal, and showed considerable improvement through the season. Online buying CLOMID hcl, There have been scattered good games from swingman Jelani Johnson (who has played out of position at times as the backup point guard), forward Emeka Okafor Jr., and forward Jack Houpt, CLOMID trusted pharmacy reviews. Okafor is a junior, After CLOMID, while Johnson and Houpt are just sophomores. Still, the Leathernecks needed consistent play from them, and will need it next season to improve, CLOMID FOR SALE.
Guard Matt Lander should be a first-team all-conference pick, but it likely won't happen considering the Leathernecks' record, buying CLOMID online over the counter. He has scored in double figures in all but one of the games this season, CLOMID from mexico, and is averaging 17.3 points per game. He has had nine games where he has scored 20 points or more. Lander, CLOMID without a prescription, though, Rx free CLOMID, is a senior, and he will be missed next season. CLOMID FOR SALE, The Leathernecks have certainly bought into Molinari's defensive approach. Western Illinois leads the conference in scoring defense (64.9 points per game), CLOMID canada, mexico, india, field goal percentage defense (43.1 percent) and is third in 3-point field-goal defense (34.6 percent). CLOMID treatment, Still, Molinari will need to find scorers in the spring recruiting period. Clark will be back, order CLOMID from mexican pharmacy, but he'll need outside shooting help. Is CLOMID safe, The Leathernecks could also use a slashing wing player and a big man inside.
There have been enough good moments this season to make you think that things can turn around quickly, CLOMID FOR SALE. Still, it's a season to forget because of all of the injuries, order CLOMID no prescription.
The top four teams all lose, Purchase CLOMID online no prescription, so putting together this ballot wasn't easy.
1. Kansas (3)
2, order CLOMID online overnight delivery no prescription. CLOMID FOR SALE, Ohio State (2)

Perry treated Winfrey to Bentley
Director TYLER PERRY showed off his generous side by handing his billionaire pal OPRAH WINFREY a luxury car after she fell in love with his vehicle.
The filmmaker and actor turned up to lunch with the TV titan and her pal Gayle King last year (11) in a brand new Bentley, and Winfrey revealed she was a huge fan of the supercar.
Perry couldn't resist treating the chat show host - who is one of the world's richest women - to a pricey gift, shipping an identical Bentley to her the next day.
And his generosity didn't end there - when King called to thank him, he ordered another of the luxury motors for her.
King tells Vanity Fair magazine, "(Oprah admired the Bentley) so he sent her the same exact car. I called Tyler and told him how amazing that was because nobody ever does anything like that for her, on such a grand scale. And so, the next day when I got home, there was a Bentley in my driveway!"
Winfrey famously gave her entire studio audience new Pontiac G6s in 2004.

National regulation: Weights and Measures
Weights and Measures Act 1985: A guide for inspectors and manufacturers of weights and measures equipment.
Enforcement of the Weights and Measures Act
Weights and measures legislation is enforced by Local Weights and Measures Authorities (LWMAs). Details of your LWMA can be found by entering your post code at the following link on the Chartered Trading Standards Institute website.
Local authorities' trading standards departments deliver the local enforcement of most of the UK's weights and measures legislation. To promote consistency and best practice, the Office for Product Safety and Standards (Safety & Standards) works closely with the national co-ordinating body, local government and the professional institute for inspectors of weights and measures - CTSI - as well as with regional groups of local authorities and individual inspectors.
For business specific advice contact your Local Authority Trading Standards Department who may be able to provide you with Primary Authority advice.
For consumer/general public enquiries contact the Citizens Advice Consumer Helpline on 03454 04 05 06 or visit its website.
Equipment regulation
In the case of weights and measures, consumers have no way of verifying the quantity of product they have purchased, such as the weight of some purchased vegetables or the volume of fuel put into a motor vehicle. The current legal protections ensure that the goods offered for sale by quantity can be trusted because the amount has been determined by a legally controlled (prescribed) measuring instrument, independently monitored according to risk by local enforcement authorities. By regulating measuring instruments used for trade, both consumers and business can be confident the quantity declared is accurate. Safety & Standards has produced guidance on regulation for the types of equipment regulated under the Weights and Measures Act for both manufacturers and inspectors of weights and measures equipment.
New Legislative Framework
The New Legislative Framework (NLF) introduces common administrative requirements and clarifies the duties of those in the supply chain. Read more about the relevant regulations and guidance documents by statutory instrument.
Statutory obligations
Under the Weights and Measures act 1985 LWMAs have statutory obligations:
- under section 72 of the act each LWMA shall appoint a chief inspector of weights and measures who holds the section 73 qualification certificate
- under section 70 of the act LWMA have a statutory requirement to report to the Secretary of State the level of local weights and measures enforcement work conducted over a twelve month period
- under section 4 of the act LWMA shall maintain standards (local standards) of the measures and weights set out in schedule 3 to this act
Section 70 return and reports
Every LWMA in the UK is required to report the level of local enforcement work conducted over a 12 month period under section 70 of the Weights and Measures Act 1985. This information is then collated into an annual report by Safety & Standards which is used to create a risk matrix which identifies the risk of equipment failing and the level of consequences of that risk. This then enables LWMAs to identify which areas their resources should be prioritised towards using targeted inspections. This is the format as agreed by the Secretary of State in accordance with section 70 of the Weights and Measures Act 1985. Read this publication of our reports and returns on enforcement work carried out.
National metrology projects
For a number of years, LWMAs have taken part in national metrology projects, organised to add value to the inspectional work done by individual trading standards services as part of their local responsibility. These have been undertaken across the UK, focused on a particular subject and nationally collated.
Safety & Standards, along with the British Standards Institution (BSI), the National Physical Laboratory (NPL) and the United Kingdom Accreditation Service (UKAS), also oversees standardisation, testing, measurement, certification and accreditation in the UK as part of the UK's National Quality Infrastructure (UKQI).
Market surveillance projects
Safety & Standards has a statutory duty under the Non-Automatic Weighing Instruments (NAWI) and Measuring Instruments (MID) directives to carry out market surveillance activities. This is to ensure instruments that do not comply with the provisions of the directive are neither placed on the market or put into use. In order to achieve this statutory requirement Safety & Standards co-ordinates yearly market surveillance projects.
Safety & Standards has policy (legislative) responsibility for the hallmarking of precious metal articles. We are responsible for implementing UK legislation and any subsequent amendments to allow growth and development in hallmarking.
We are also the sponsor group of the British Hallmarking Council (BHC), a non-departmental public body set up by the Hallmarking Act 1973 to oversee hallmarking activities within the UK.
For further information on the BHC and hallmarking please visit the BHC website.

Measuring container bottles
Measuring container bottles (MCB) are containers (normally bottles) used for the storage, transportation and delivery of liquids and are designed to be stoppered. They are made of glass or any other substance having such rigidity and stability that it has the same characteristics as glass. MCBs are required to display a manufacturer's mark, their nominal quantity and (if not filled to the brim) the distance between the fill level and the brim. They are regulated though Directive 75/107/EEC and the Measuring Container Bottles (EEC requirements) Regulations 1997.
Read this guide to find out more and how to register a manufacturer's mark.
Packaged goods and food information
This guidance provides a detailed explanation of the Packaged Goods Regulations and how to comply with the weights and measures law.
Packaged Goods Regulations 2006
Packaged goods: weights and measures regulations
Food information to consumers: quantity labelling
Approved manufacturers
Approved manufacturers under MID permit manufacturers to place equipment on to the European market under the control of an approved quality system. Approved manufacturers under NAWI permit manufacturers to seek approval to allow them to undertake self-verification of their EC type approved instruments. Read this guide to find out how to apply to become or identify an approved manufacturer authorised to carry out conformity assessment.
Approved verification
Approved verifiers in possession of an approval issued by the Secretary of State, may conduct their own testing, passing and stamping (verification) of weighing and measuring equipment which they manufacture, install, adjust or repair, as the case may be, as fit for use for trade. Read this guide to find out about the approved verification guidance, access the application form and how to obtain stickers for weights and measures equipment.
Notified bodies
A notified body provides services for conformity assessment on the conditions set out in the new approach directives in support of Conformity European (CE). Read this guide to find out the co-ordination and appointment of notified bodies.
International legal metrology
Safety & Standards co-ordinates input into international forums including the International Organization of Legal Metrology (OIML) and the European Cooperation in Legal Metrology (WELMEC). We aim to positively influence European Union (EU) and international legal metrology forums in order to benefit the UK businesses, their customers and consumers. Read this guide to find out more about the working groups Safety & Standards attends and the regulations we influence.
Local standards
The assessment of weight or measure is an essential element in the process of commerce. Standardisation of those weights and measures is the duty of every government across the globe. Every assessment of weight or measure from the informal to international contracts relies on a common understanding of a reference point and unit of measurement. In the UK today the primary units of measurement are clearly defined and are accepted across the world. However, the dissemination of those units from the 'perfect' kilogram held in Paris or the 'perfect' metre defined by the use of a specified laser down to the measures used in trade transactions has posed questions of government for as long as standards have existed. This page is designed for use by LWMAs to report the status of their standards holding and any approvals they have or wish to apply for from Safety & Standards for nil or partial holding of local standards.
Weights and measures bulletins and guidance
In many instances Safety & Standards is asked for an opinion on particular circumstances that have an impact on a wider group of organisations or equipment. These documents contain technical opinions from Safety & Standards on Weights and Measures equipment.
Weights and measures identification numbers
Safety & Standards produces documents that are listings of the numbers allocated to LWMAs and approved verifiers for identification purposes on items of weighing or measuring equipment. These are known as National and EEC stamp numbers. Read the latest set of numbers given to local weights and measures authorities and approved verifiers for identifying items of weighing or measuring equipment.
Certificates issued by Safety & Standards for EC and EEC type examination, and for UK national type approval
Safety & Standards provides copies of the following examination and approval certificates:
MID type examination certificates
NAWI type examination certificates
UK national type approval certificates
EEC type examination certificates
Several old approach directives were revoked under the MID. EEC certificates, which have been issued under these old approach directives, continue to be valid until their date of expiry but cannot be renewed. These certifcates continue to apply to instruments that have been verified and are in use.

Paul McCartney Lends Support to Protect Turtles in Cayman Islands
Rock legend and longtime animal rights activist Paul McCartney has become quite fond of little green objects that inhabit the Cayman Islands. However, this article has absolutely nothing to do with his vast fortune, but rather a campaign to stop turtle farming in the Caribbean tax haven.
On Wednesday (Oct. 17) McCartney tweeted, "There is no humane way to farm sea turtles. Support [the World Society for the Protection of Animals] campaign to #stopseaturtlefarming." As of today, more than 50,000 people have signed a petition on their website.
The controversy stems from the impact on the ecosystem throughout the Caribbean when turtles from the farm are released into the wild. "Well-documented diseases found primarily in captive turtles can be spread to wild populations," a spokesperson for the Sea Turtle Conservancy said. "The turtles that are breeding at the Cayman Turtle Farm originate from many different oceans and nesting colonies, which means they have very different genetics. If their offspring are allowed to mix with and mate in the wild, it could have far reaching impacts on sea turtle navigation abilities and genetics."
McCartney is not the only rock legend to recently take a stand on animal rights issues. Brian May of Queen has been leading the charge to prevent a mass slaughter of badgers in England.
Ted Nugent could not be reached for comment.

If you were already a big fan of personalized news reader app Zite, the likelihood is you'll be an even bigger fan once you've had a chance to experience its all-new look.
Zite 2.0 for iOS devices was rolled out by the company on Tuesday, giving news junkies even more options and control over the content delivered to their screen.
When some apps receive an overhaul, heavy users can be left sweating while they download the new version, wondering if things will ever be quite the same again. Zite addicts need not worry – it's still intuitive, it's still fun to use, it's still a joy to simply look at and most important of all, the content is still as engaging as ever – indicating that the algorithm used by Zite to assess your tastes is still in good shape.
So what's new? The logo, for a start, with the old 'Z' on a green background having been replaced by the face of a big-eyed owl (much prettier). Once in, you'll soon see the overall design has been given a subtle but nifty makeover, making it even easier on the eye.
Zite users know all about how you can give each article a thumbs-up or thumbs-down, teaching the app about your article preferences in order that it can serve up more along similar lines – you can still do this while reading the article, but with the iPad version you can now also do it on the contents page by simply swiping up (like) or down (dislike) on the box where the heading and opening lines of the article sit.
Zite said in a blog post Tuesday that the free app now categorizes stories into a colossal 40,000 topics, "allowing you to drill even deeper into your interests and give Zite even more feedback about what you like and don't like."
Facebook integration has also been incorporated – alongside Google Reader, Twitter and Pocket – enabling you to link Zite to your Facebook account to get topic suggestions according to your Facebook history.
Your Top Stories has been expanded with the inclusion of more articles, and it's now possible to change the order of your Quicklist. Before, the order was fixed, meaning that if your most-viewed category was far down the list, you'd have to scroll down to get to it. Not anymore – now you can drag it to the top.
All in all, it's certainly a pleasing update and should be popular with long-time users as well as those coming to the app for the first time. Android users will unfortunately have to wait for the refresh; iOS users can grab it here (requires iOS 6 or later).

text: The Ukraine's history is long and proud. Kyivan Rus was the most powerful state in Medieval Europe. While this state fell prey to Mongol conquest, the western part of Ukraine became part of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth from the 14th until the 18th century, and even the modern Ukraine owes it a debt of sorts. In the face of pressure from the ascendant Muscovy, the Ukraine was able to remain autonomous for more than a century, but the Russian Empire absorbed much of Ukraine in the 18th century, to the detriment of their culture and identity. The post-Soviet era initially held severe economic difficulties, hyperinflation and oligarchal rule. The issues of cronyism, corruption and alleged voting irregularities came to a head during a heavily-disputed 2004 presidential election. The beautiful Ukrainian capital Kiev is home to leafy hills and world-famous Orthodox and Baroque architecture.

Belgium is a country in northwest Europe. Founding member of the European Union, it covers an area of 30,528 square kilometres and has a population of about 10.7 million. From the end of the Middle Ages until the 17th century, it was a prosperous centre of commerce and culture. Upon its independence, Belgium eagerly participated in the Industrial Revolution and, at the end of the nineteenth century, possessed several colonies in Africa. Today, Belgium's strongly globalized economy and its transportation infrastructure are integrated with the rest of Europe. Its location at the heart of a highly industrialized region helps made it 2007 the world's 15th largest trading nation. Cultural life is nowadays concentrated within each language community and a variety of barriers have made a shared cultural sphere less pronounced.

LG has plenty of music phones in its stable; the LG Muziq and the LG VX8550 Chocolate being two of the most recent ones. Most of them now come equipped with stereo Bluetooth, a profile that lets you stream music wirelessly from one device to another. So it makes sense then that LG has started to come out with stereo Bluetooth accessories of its own. The LG Bluetooth Stereo Headset HBS-200 is one such device, and it is a simple behind-the-neck headset that is surprisingly compact, comfortable, with great sound quality to boot. The HBS-200 is a little pricey at $129.99 each. You can also get it as part of a Music Essentials Kit from Verizon for $199.99 per kit, but at least you'll get a 4GB microSD card and a software CD out of it.
The HBS-200 has a similar design to other behind-the-neck headsets such as the Cardo S-2. It can fold down to a more compact size, thanks to hinges above each earpiece. A sturdy yet flexible rubber band connects the two earpieces, and it can also stretch out to accommodate most head sizes quite comfortably. The earpieces measure about 2 inches wide, which fit nicely on our ears, especially with the help of the foam cover cushions. A rubberized grip above each earpiece provides a more secure fit.
All controls on the HBS-200 sit on the right earpiece. The multifunction and Play/Pause buttons sit in the middle of the circle while the surrounding circular border can be slid to and fro as track shuttle controls. Two volume buttons are on top of the earpiece, while the hold switch and charger jack are on the bottom. A blue-and-red LED is hidden underneath the Play/Pause button and lights up depending on what mode the headset is in. Though the multifunction button is a little small, it has a slight bump so we could press it easily. We did find the Play/Pause and volume buttons a little too skinny for our tastes, but they were raised enough above the surface so they were easy to press as well. The track shuttle slider was easy to slide back and forth, but we wished there was a grip of some kind for better control.
We paired the LG Bluetooth Stereo HBS-200 with the LG VX8550 Chocolate successfully. The pairing process was a breeze; within seconds we were able to listen to music and answer phone calls. Call quality was quite good, with little to no background noise on our end. Callers, however, did report some static and a slight hissing sound, especially in windier environments. Of course, the real test came when we tried out the HBS-200 with some music. The sound quality of the music was great--the songs sounded fantastic, with rich full sound and decent bass.
Other features of the HBS-200 include voice dialing, last number redial, call transfers from the phone to the headset and vice versa, call mute, and a low battery indicator. The HBS-200 has a rated talk time of 8 hours and a rated standby time of 10.4 days.

Medicines Co. shares plummeted by nearly 15% in early trading Thursday in the wake of a U.S. Food and Drug Administration panel's rejection of its anti-blood-clotting drug Cangrelor.
Medicines /quotes/zigman/83890/delayed /quotes/nls/mdco MDCO lost $4.83 to $28.27 in recent action. Late Wednesday, the FDA's Cardiovascular and Renal Drugs Advisory Committee voted 7-2 to reject the company's application for Cangrelor for use in certain types of coronary procedures, most often for patients receiving a stent.
The ruling comes as somewhat of a surprise to investors. Even though one panel member recommended that the drug be rejected in a recent report, other committee members in that same report said it should be approved.
Some analysts thought that meant Medicines had a chance of winning over most of the panel. One was ISI Group's Umer Raffat.
"I was clearly on the wrong side of this call," Raffat said in a note to clients. "Even after the briefing document on Monday, I thought they might just get through. Clearly not the case. Ugh."
The application now goes to a general panel of the FDA for final approval or rejection. Raffat said he's now pessimistic.
"I think the odds are likely very low," he said.
