At the beginning of each school year, your kids have a chance for a fresh start. And you, their most important teacher, are key to their success. Here's what you need to know:
1) Teens are different. You're not parenting a 7-year old. Your teen wants to be in charge of his time and choices, but he still has a lot to learn. You need to be on hand to help with skills like problem-solving and decision-making. That's 'help,' not do it for him.
2) Give them time to decompress after school. One of the things a group of 8th grade girls said bugs them is when they are picked up from school and their parent (usually mom) immediately asks them about their day. They've just spent seven hours in school and would like to think about something else. So sit tight. If you play your cards right, information will be forthcoming.
3) Encourage student-to-teacher communication. It's time for your teen to be his own advocate. This takes courage, and is an important life skill that will serve him well in the adult world. If there's a problem with a grade, encourage him to talk to the teacher. Same thing if he needs extra help. He won't want mom and dad on line with him registering for college courses, or calling the boss about a performance review. Now is the time to develop that skill.
4) Preparation, routines and limits. This goes for homework, sleep, social media/screen time, sports, lessons and socializing. You're not a prison warden, or standing there with a timer, but…you know very well that there needs to be a balance. And, as the parent of a teen, it's time for brainstorming and compromise in some of these areas if you want to see any results.
5) Focus on the big picture, too. With college in the back of your mind, you may be putting extraordinary attention on grades. Of course they are important; but that also sends the message that grades are the only things that count during middle and high school. There's lots of life learning to do if your kids are going to be successful in college and beyond. Are they curious and courageous? Do they show concern for others? How responsible are they for themselves (from laundry to behavior)? And remember, they don't need to be at an Ivy League school in order to be successful.
Even a straight-A student may not be socially and emotionally prepared to be successful in college. Now's the time to get back to the basics. When their character is strong, all the rest will follow.
Fern Weis is a parent coach and former middle school teacher. Since 2008, she has been coaching and educating parents of teens and tweens, beginning by taking parents back to basics: breaking through the fears they have for their children, so they can confidently do whatever it takes (including what feels tough) to raise confident, self-sufficient, resilient kids who are successful in high school, college and beyond.
In her work with parents, Fern shares from her personal experience as the mother of an out-of-control teen. She learned that love and good intentions were not enough… in fact, they were part of the problem. Nothing was going to change until she did. So she did, and doing that work changed everything.

Arizona Coyotes
Jamison, NHL 'making progress' on Coyotes sale
Arizona Sports 620's Paul Calvisi has learned that NHL commissioner Gary Bettman and Greg Jamison met Monday afternoon and are making "progress toward closing" a deal that would allow the league to sell the Phoenix Coyotes franchise to Jamison.
Jamison, the former San Jose Sharks CEO and minority owner, has been rumored to take over control of the franchise for several months. A tentative agreement of the sale was announced back in May, with little development since.
The Coyotes have been without an owner since 2009, when then-owner Jerry Moyes entered the franchise into Chapter 11 bankruptcy and announced he would sell the club to Research in Motion executive Jim Balsillie, who planned on moving the team to Ontario, Canada.
Following protests from the league, Moyes sold the Coyotes to the NHL for $140 million. The league has had control of the franchise for the past three seasons.
Despite not having an owner, the Coyotes have qualified for the Stanley Cup Playoffs in each of the last three seasons and advanced all the way to the Western Conference Finals for the first time in franchise history last year before being ousted by eventual league champion Los Angeles.
The NHL is currently embroiled in a player lockout that went into effect on September 15.

Heather Hess, German Expressionist Digital Archive Project,German Expressionism: Works from the Collection. 2011.
Lyonel Feininger's painting presents insurrectionaries pouring onto the streets of a small French village. The motley band of characters includes a clown, a portly bohemian, elegant ladies, and historically clad characters trailing a cabaret singer, who appears in the lower right corner. A dandy jauntily sidesteps his way into the picture, elbowing a brilliantly colored and grotesquely elongated man who bears a pitchfork topped with a red flag. Faceless men in top hats march along a blank gray wall, which further constricts the narrow space and creates a diagonal that serves to focus the direction of the procession. Feininger emphasizes the movement of the crowd, giving no hint of their goal.
The incongruous juxtapositions, including startling differences in scale and clashes of garish colors, recall Feininger's earlier work as a caricaturist and comic-strip illustrator. He based this painting on sketches he made while living in Paris from 1906 to 1908 and on a drawing from 1909 now in the Museum's collection.

Boise, Idaho

(208) 383-2246
Released On: June 03, 2005
Recent investigations had revealed weak areas in the foundation beneath the conduit to the Caldwell canal outlet works, which required immediate attention. The dam is located southwest of Nampa, Idaho.
The contractor, Macro-Z Technology, placed nearly 45,000 cubic yards of fill material around the outlet works to reinforce the embankment and foundation around the structure.
"Throughout the process, Reclamation was monitoring the dam around the clock," said Jerrold Gregg, Snake River Area Office Manager. "Now that emergency measures are near completion, we can relax the inspection schedule, although we will continue to watch the dam closely," he added.
Gregg also said Reclamation engineers would spend the summer working on plans for a permanent modification to the dam to ensure its continued safe operation in the future.
Water will be released from the reservoir for irrigation needs by way of pumps which will provide water to the Caldwell Canal. Irrigation operations will continue under the direction of the Boise Board of Control, which manages irrigation operations for several irrigation districts downstream.
Road access across the dam will be reopened during the day once construction is completed, although the boat ramp will remain closed due to public safety concerns. Recreation and lake access are still available in other areas around Lake Lowell.
Reclamation will continue to coordinate with the Canyon County Commissioners, Deer Flat National Wildlife Refuge, local law enforcement, and the state of Idaho to ensure that the public is informed of the progress, Gregg said. Visitors to the Deer Flat National Wildlife Refuge are asked to contact the refuge at (208) 467-9278 for information about their operation schedule.
Lake Lowell is an offstream reservoir formed by three earthfill dams, Upper, Middle , and Lower Embankments, southwest of Nampa, Idaho. Lake Lowell was constructed by the Bureau of Reclamation in 1908 as a feature of the Boise Project.

Jerry Sandusky trial: Sandusky won't testify, defense rests
BELLEFONTE, Pa. (AP) - Jerry Sandusky's lawyers finished putting on their case Wednesday without calling the former Penn State assistant football coach to the stand to rebut child sex abuse allegations that could put him in prison for the rest of his life.
The sudden end to the defense's presentation came on the seventh day of the trial, during which the jury heard from eight men - now 18 to 28 - who said the former coach sexually assaulted them after they met him through the charity he founded.
Sandusky is charged with 51 criminal counts for alleged abuse of 10 boys over 15 years. He has denied the allegations but acknowledged in interviews following his arrest that he had showered with boys.
The accusers described for jurors a range of sexual abuse at his hands, from allegations of grooming and fondling to oral sex and forced anal sex that one young man said left him injured.
The identities of two other alleged victims are unknown to investigators.
The defense has suggested the accusers have financial motivations for their claims and were improperly influenced by investigators. They also put on character witnesses who spoke of Sandusky's sound reputation.
Sandusky's wife, Dottie, took the stand Tuesday and said she never saw him act inappropriately with the accusers. The defense rested after an approximately 40-minute closed-door meeting involving attorneys, Sandusky and the judge overseeing the case.
Under Pennsylvania law, a defendant must waive his right to testify on his own behalf, but it doesn't have to happen in open court.
The next steps in the trial are jury instructions and then closing arguments, set for Thursday morning.
Earlier Wednesday, the defense sought to undercut testimony from a former graduate assistant who told jurors he saw Sandusky sexually abusing a boy inside a football facility shower more than a decade ago.

A damaged building is seen at the Bustan Al-Basha area in Aleppo September 14, 2012. (REUTERS/Zain Karam)
BEIRUT: Clashes erupted in Syria's main cities of Damascus and Aleppo on Saturday, following a bloody day in which 132 people were killed nationwide, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.
In Aleppo the army battled with rebels at the entrances to the rebel-held Bustan al-Basha district and helicopter gunships attacked the opposition bastions of Hanano, Qadi Askar, Sheikh Khader, Bustan al-Qasr and Sakhur, the monitoring group said.
After a week of fighting over the central district of Midan, the army had taken most of the area and set up checkpoints for the first time, an AFP correspondent said.
But the Observatory said that clashes between rebels and the army continued in the flashpoint district.
Residents of Midan had blocked off a contested street with tires and posted a small sign which read: "Beware of snipers," the correspondent said.
The Local Coordination Committees, a network of opposition activists on the ground, reported that an unknown number of people were killed or trapped under the rubble of a three-storey residential building that collapsed when the Sheikh Fares neighborhood was shelled.
Regime forces also carried out air strikes against a rebel-held police station in Hanano for the second day in a row, after similar attacks on two police branches in Midan on Friday.
At least one rebel was killed in fighting in Aleppo, which has been the focal point of the Syrian conflict since mid-July, according to the Britain-based Observatory.
Outside Aleppo, air strikes during the night killed at least 12 civilians and wounded around 60 in Al-Bab, doctors in the rebel-held town told AFP on Saturday.
Two fighter jets carried out a series of raids on the town in northern Syria between 4 pm (1300 GMT) Friday and 4 am (0100 GMT) Saturday, hitting homes and empty school buildings, a doctor at the town's hospital said, asking not to be identified.
In one of the homes hit, four people lost their lives, three of them women, the father of one of those killed told AFP.
Near Damascus, a child and five rebels -- including a Palestinian defector from the Syrian army -- were killed by shelling and sniper fire in the southern suburb of Al-Hajar Al-Aswad where regime forces deployed in force, the Observatory said.
It said that a Palestinian protester was also killed during a demonstration in the Yarmuk camp, the largest Palestinian refugee camp in Syria.
Clashes broke out at the edges of the Damascus suburb, the watchdog said, while one civilian was killed in the northeast suburb of Douma and two civilians were killed elsewhere in the province.
In the southern province of Daraa, fierce clashes erupted between rebel fighters and government troops as the army tried to retake the Lajat area -- considered the most important rebel stronghold in the province.
In the central province of Homs, two civilians were killed in shelling on Qusayr, while five civilians were killed in shelling on the town of Qalaa al-Mazeeq in the central province of Hama, the Observatory said.
Three civilians, including two women, were killed in shelling in the northwest province of Idlib, while in the eastern city of Deir Ezzor, a 14-year-old was killed in shelling, while the town of Albu Kamal came under fresh bombardments, the Observatory said.
The Observatory gave an initial toll of at least 37 people -- 19 civilians, 9 rebels and 9 soldiers -- killed in Saturday's violence.
On Friday, 100 civilians, 13 rebels and 19 soldiers were killed nationwide in Syria, the Observatory said, noting that the largest single toll was in Daraa, where 12 civilians were killed in an air strike.

Enugu — IMMEDIATE past Senate President, Chief Anyim Pius Anyim reviewed weekend his tenure, saying he fought too many battles in the interest of democracy and Nigeria. He also said President Olusegun Obasanjo misunderstood him on certain issues but there was no conflict between them.
Anyim spoke in Enugu during a reception organised in his honour by the Assemblies of God Nigeria, his local church.
"There was no love lost between me and the President but I believe the President misunderstood me on certain things. When I came on, the tension was terrible. The polity, everything had been at standstill and I had a very peculiar commitment to calm down the tension in the polity and that I did by the negotiation, dialogue, everything, everything and everything and the tension came down," Anyim said.
Continuing, he said: "In fact, I made it possible for Obasanjo to work then and I had even the opportunity of doing a number of other things. Before I came there was no budget for that year but I gave them the budget in time. But that was my commitment to the country and not to individual and that was why I had to make myself clear that my support was not for any person but for democracy and Nigeria."
Chief Anyim said along the line there were areas of disagreement, "because if you think it is because you are fair or yellow, that is not the reason because I am not afraid of tomorrow, I am not looking for anything. I have patterned my life and anchored it on God that I don't worry about whatever I think that is the problem."
He said that at a time everybody wanted him "to do this or that I will be supported to come back," but he never compromised.
"There was a time I told him (Obasanjo) that this job, I am ready to go, it must not continue. But one thing I was sure is that it was not going to be possible for anybody to impeach me because I had kept strength in the Senate, so you can't deceive anybody."
Anyim, who thanked the church for their spiritual backing during his tenure reminded the congregation that "the days are evil," and that the church has a higher duty to keep the people going. "My eyes have opened about why we have not made progress for too long. The challenges are much and nothing has been done. The country needs prayers. Those in offices need prayers in particular to realise that it is only God that owes the offices, and that whoever he appointed into them holds them."

Landon Donovan and Robbie Keane expecting to be available for U.S. Open Cup match against Carolina RailHawks
CARSON, Calif. – There's going to be no reserve teams this time around for the LA Galaxy's seemingly annual U.S. Open Cup trip to North Carolina.
This time, they'll be bringing the big guns.
Following the team's first training session after their 2-1 victory over Arizona United SC, both Galaxy forwards Robbie Keane and Landon Donovan told reporters that they believe they'll be available for selection in Tuesday's match against the Carolina RailHawks in the fifth round of the U.S. Open Cup.
"We're all expecting to play in this game. We're sick of losing to Carolina and we're sick of going out of the Open Cup early," said Donovan on Friday. "Also we don't have any MLS games during this break so we need it for fitness. We're excited for it and I've said to Bruce early on that I want to play as much as possible in this tournament; we're hoping to get a result."
While Donovan hopes to be in the lineup from the outset, Keane may be utilized in a substitute's role as the team's Irish captain recently returned from Ireland where he served as the best man at a best friend's wedding.
"I'll have to speak to Bruce, but I imagine that we'll take a full team. It's a competition that we certainly need to win," said Keane. "If I start though is another thing, it's a question that I'll have with Bruce."
Expect Donovan and Keane to play against the RailHawks? Can the Galaxy get through in the U.S. Open Cup?

The U.S. National Team will take on Portugal without the services of Jozy Altidore due to a left hamstring injury, the federation announced on Thursday.
Altidore injured his left hamstring midway through the first half of the Americans 2-1 victory over Ghana on Monday and was stretchered off the field. U.S. head coach Jurgen Klinsmann told reporters on Tuesday that he was optimistic about Altidore's ability to return from the injury at some point during the 2014 World Cup, but was awaiting the results of an MRI of the striker's hamstring.
With Altidore unavailable, Klinsmann may be forced to tinker with his formation as neither of his two remaining strikers Aron Johannsson or Chris Wondolowski are as capable at holding possession as the injured Altidore.
The injury news wasn't all negative for the U.S., however, as Matt Besler and Clint Dempsey were each given a clean bill of health for Sunday's game in the Amazonian city of Manaus.
Who do you believe should replace Altidore in the starting XI? Vote in the poll below.'
Gyasi Zardes put the LA Galaxy through to the fifth round of the U.S. Open Cup with two goals in their 2-1 victory over Arizona United SC.
With the victory, they will now play against at Carolina RailHawks at 4:00 p.m. PT on June 24 at the WakeMed Stadium Field 2.
Highlights of the victory are below.
PEORIA, Ariz. -- Bruce Arena addressed the media following the LA Galaxy's 2-1 victory over Arizona United on Wednesday.
(On the team's second half performance...)
ARENA: "It's difficult getting behind on the road but our guys came out in the second half and got the job done and did a good job. We had a few hectic moments but I think overall we had a good attitude and we played well."
(On Gyasi Zardes' brace...)
ARENA: "Two good goals, good service that we had been lacking for a while so it's good to see."
(On the struggles with the heat...)
ARENA: "The heat wasn't bad. We were very fortunate, we got lucky with the weather tonight. I know it's going to be a lot more humid and probably a little bit warmer in Raleigh next week. We got a little bit of conditioning on that but it won't quite be what it is like on the East Coast."
(On the Galaxy next U.S. Open Cup rival, the Carolina RailHawks...)
ARENA "We are looking forward to it."
(On the game...)
ARENA: "It was a difficult game. I think our guys did well given the circumstances, going behind a goal so we can't complain, it's a good one."
(On the team's improvements in the second half...)
ARENA: "We just got our service a little bit better to help create two goals. Our guys had a good healthy attitude, they came out in an aggressive fashion."
The U.S. National Team received mixed news about the injury status of starters Jozy Altidore, Matt Besler Clint Dempsey ahead of Sunday's Group G match against Portugal.
In a press conference just a day after the team's dramatic 2-1 victory over Ghana, head coach Jurgen Klinsmann revealed that Dempsey suffered a fractured nose after a clattering challenge in the first half while both Altidore (hamstring injury) and Besler (hamstring tightness) have undergone MRIs to determine the severity of injuries that they also endured in the opening 45 minutes. During his briefing with the press, Klinsmann said that Besler and Dempsey will likely be available for the Portugal match, but Altidore's injury may require a bit more time.
"With Jozy, we've got to see now how he reacts the next couple of days with his hamstring and we are full of hope that he comes back still in this tournament," said Klinsmann. "That's what we kind of work on every day; the medical staff is doing a tremendous job. We still have the hope that Jozy will be back. How quickly? That is down to his healing process."
Think Altidore will come back in time? Who will start if Altidore can not play against Portugal?
Share thoughts below.
The excitement was high after the U.S. National Team's 2-1 victory over Ghana, but LA Galaxy striker Landon Donovan issued a note of caution in a interview on the Dan Patrick Show on Tuesday.
Donovan, who was controversially left off U.S. National Team head coach Jurgen Klinsmann's roster for the 2014 FIFA World Cup, spoke about the injury to Jozy Altidore and his impression of the team's mood heading into their second group stage match against Portugal. However, his most telling comment was regarding the allegations that Klinsmann had overtrained the team resutling in injuries to Altidore and center back Matt Besler.
"My guess is if you've having a bunch of muscle injuries and cramping and stuff like that, there was some factor involved, whether it was overtraining, whether [they] weren't prepared for the heat," he said. "There was something that went on there, so you could be a little critical."
Watch the complete interview below.
Turns out, the third time was the charm for the United States.
John Anthony Brooks scored the game winning goal in the 86th minute as the U.S. defeated Ghana 2-1 in their Group G opener. Clint Dempsey gave the United States the lead just 34 seconds into the game before Andre Ayew equalized in the 82nd minute for the Black Stars before Brooks' dramatic winner for the USMNT.
Check out the goal below.
You've seen the LA Galaxy's tongue-in-cheek videos about U.S. National Team legend Landon Donovan missing the 2014 FIFA World Cup and now EA Sports is getting into the game.
EA released their video "Always in the Game" featuring Donovan playing the official 2014 FIFA World Cup video game and then singing "I'm not going to Brazil," a play off the American Outlaws chant "We are going to Brazil."
On Monday, LA Galaxy center back Omar Gonzalez will develop a lasting memory of his very first World Cup match when the U.S. takes on Ghana in their Group G opener.
But what about Gonzalez's first World Cup memory?
That goes back to the 1994 FIFA World Cup when Gonzalez was just a child living outside of Dallas.
"My first World Cup memory as a kid was at the Cotton Bowl, I got a chance to go to a few games as a volunteer," Gonzalez recently told LAGalaxy.com. "When I was there, my mom tells me that I used to mimic Bebeto's celebration."
Think Gonzalez will mimic that celebration if he scores?

Fall harkens back memories
Fall is in the air up here in Atlanta where I've spent the past week with Sara Beth. When I walk between the hospital and the apartment there is either a nip in the air or it is downright frigid.

Disgusted at Porter's opposition
Dear Editor:
As a southerner, born and raised in the State of South Carolina and a direct descendant of Confederate veterans who counts Confederate Brigadier Generals George and Gabriel Rains as family I must express my deep disgust and displeasure with State Representative Elizabeth Porter's opposition to a Union memorial at the Olustee battlefield.
The United Daughters of the Confederacy notwithstanding, the men who fought and died in that battle on both sides did so in defense of their beliefs whether you and I share those beliefs or not. Read More »

We once thought that "family problems" should be ignored in the workplace and that it "is none of our business."
We now realize that domestic problems that sometimes turn into domestic violence
can spill over into the workplace. The abuser's stalking, threats,
harassment, intimidation and physical violence can follow a victim to work, affecting the safety of both victims and co-workers.
The impact of domestic violence on the workplace may also include:
Happy Ending:
One female employee in Asheville said that when she finally told her boss about her abusive husband, it saved her job and possibly her life.
By the time she told her employer, she had missed 45 days of work. She was emotionally exhausted and most days, too depressed to go in to work.
At that point, she was on the verge of being fired.
That's when she decided to tell her boss, feeling like she didn't have much to lose. When she told her supervisor
that her husband was physically and emotionally abusing her, her supervisor's response was immediate and compassionate.
Her employer put her in a safer work location, provided her with counseling, and let her bring her son to work when necessary. Finally, when she had the strength
to leave her husband and move to another city, her employer safeguarded her new address and location by coding the payroll as if she were still in town.
She said that this was the "best employer she has ever worked for in her life."
Tragic Ending:
Another female employee in North Carolina also told her boss that she was in an abusive marriage. Her employer tried to protect her by screening her phone calls.
It didn't work.
In the spring, she was kidnapped from the office parking lot and killed by her husband.
Before the tragedy, she had shown signs that she was living in terror, said one of the assistant managers where she worked. She had taken out a protective order against her husband, and
started to offer to work longer and longer hours. The assistant manager said she thought the victim was afraid to go home. The manager said, "She was such a sweet person. It really did shock me that her husband
would come to work after her."
The co-worker tells you about the situation:
Keep several things in mind as you try to help. Remember that you are not a trained counselor, so do not go too far in giving advice. You are also not the employee's
boss who may be the only one who can take some effective steps in protecting the victim, planning for office safety, and referring your co-worker for professional counseling.
With these things in mind, you
can certainly help. The victim may have told only you so far, so your reaction may give him or her the courage to seek other help and take effective steps.
Here are some ways to respond:
Here are some ways not to respond:
Finally, be patient. Be available when he or she wants to talk, but let your co-worker decide how often and how much to talk.
By building trust and not pushing too hard, you will help the co-worker more than if you push before he or she is really ready to take the necessary steps.
The co-worker has not told you anything, but you suspect abuse:
You will probably want to try and find out if your suspicions are true to see if you can help in any way.
To do this, you could try some gentle questioning without being
too pushy to see if the co-worker will open up to you.
Make sure that you are in a private setting and then try some questions like these:
If you get some response from the co-worker about a problem,
you can follow the advice in the left column and ask some follow-up questions like these:
If you get no response from the co-worker about a problem, accept what he or she is telling you and drop it.
Keep the following things in mind:
Important Note:
No matter what your co-worker tells you or doesn't tell you, if you think there is some immediate danger
to the victim or to other co-workers, report your suspicions to your boss. The safety of yourself, the victim,
and others must come first in a true emergency.
Explore all of the articles in the "More Information" section below. Remember that you can talk to your supervisor or Human Resources
staff to get help when you need it. There are steps that can be taken to protect you and others, and referrals to counselors and shelters in your local community if needed.

I'm Chris Kirk. I'm a programmer-journalist working at the intersection of journalism and technology. My mission is to tell stories, and my tools include more than just notepads, pens and cameras. For projects large and small, I aim to push the boundaries of digital journalism and innovative storytelling.
I'm currently the interactives editor of Slate.com. There, I've cultivated a diverse set of skills, including Javascript, jQuery, Tilemill, QGIS, Leaflet, PHP, MySQL, Python, D3, Raphael, SCSS, and CoffeeScript.
I mean that I knew HTML before I knew algebra. I built my first website as an 11-year-old with a dialup connection and an AngelFire account. After that, I was a sponge for anything having to do with the Web. I made silly Flash cartoons and podcasts to amuse my friends. Instead of selling popcorn at the local movie theater, I earned my first dollars building websites for family friends and fellow students' parents.
I also had a passion for writing and politics, though. That's why I went to Northwestern University's Medill School of Journalism to study journalism and political science. There, I learned that I didn't have to choose; that, in fact, computer science could apply to journalism, and, what's more, this was a growing field in a shrinking industry.
But I knew it would be important to develop the fundamental skills of reporting. My first journalism internship was for Evanston Now, an online newspaper in Evanston, Ill. I covered a variety of subjects, including crime and city council meetings, and enriched my stories with photography and videos as often as I could. During the school year, I worked for the Daily Northwestern. My work there earned me a First Place award for photo essays in a daily newspaper from the Illinois College Press Association in 2010 and the First Place Multimedia Feature award from the Associated Collegiate Press in 2011.

I spent the two following summers interning at Yahoo on a team of engineers and journalists tasking with developing new hyperlocal news products.

The Zimbabwe Football Association were yesterday ordered by the Harare civil court to pay a lawyer they had engaged to determine an appeal lodged by Njube Sundowns. The football body was ordered to pay Marufu Mandevere US$1 300 for his services. Mandevere was represented by his lawyer Mr Kudzai Kadzere of Kadzere, Hungwe and Mandevere legal practitioners.
In their absence Zifa were ordered to pay the debt of US$1 300 plus five percent per annum as interest from September 7, 2011 to the date of judgment.
In his filling affidavit Mandevere told the court that on June 17, 2011 he was appointed to a Zifa appeals committee to determine an appeal lodged against match administration by Njube Sundowns.
The team wrote to Zifa complaining against match administration in the Zifa PSL 2009 qualifier play-offs held in Kwekwe, Baghdad and Torwood stadiums. The teams involved were Njube Sundowns, Quelaton, Masvingo United and Black Mambas Football Club.
They said the games were marred with principles that conflicted with proper rules of football. They also indicated that the competition was not handled properly and professionally.
"It turned out that the committee members were handpicked by Zifa office and most of them if not all were from the Northern region including the referee.
"We are also petitioning against the ambush tactics in the tournament and Admore Chivero was verbally abused by Cosmos Chafa using unprintable words in front of officials.
"Quelaton versus Njube Sundowns was moved to Bagdad Stadium under protest therefore the game commenced late and it was called off by the referee," read part of the letter
Mandevere proceeded to arrange other members for the hearing. He later managed to arrange with one Mr Muzawazi. He then advised Zifa through a letter dated June 30, 2011 suggesting that all parties involved should be given adequate notice.
On July 2011, Mandevere and Muzawazi met to deliberate on the matter. On August 2011 arguments were heard and judgment was handed on September 7, 2011.
The agreed rate for the committee members were US$200 per hour and the total hours spent were six and half.
Mandevere added that payment was promised in two weeks and after several demands Zifa failed to settle the debt.
"It is now one year three months without this small amount being settled. There is no commitment from Zifa that it intends to settle the matter despite the fact that service was rendered," he said.

Back Unto Thee by Todd A. McIntosh

student at UC Sunnydale named Josh decides to stand up for himself
against the mean jocks and summons an ancient Eygptian spirit to do his
bidding. Only the spirit doesn't want to play along and is in search of
his mummified body which is currently located in Sunnydale's museum.
It's up to Buffy to stop this spirit from inhabiting his old body, but it
turns out that Xander, despite his mummy fears, saves the day.

concerning the demons around her as well a her predecessor before
sending her to wait on the Great Lady. Kishi does her best to locate the
demons which have been surrounding the Palace only to find out that
Bennin is not who he says he is nor is the Great Lady who was originally
the Watcher of the past Slayer. Bennin, is actually Migoto, his brother,
who has been sacrificing Slayers to a dragon in order to maintain his
immortal life.
Abomination by Laura J. Burns and Melinda Metz
- France, 1320 - Eliane and her Watcher have spent years training
together, but as the years go by and Eliane becomes older they begin to
suspect that she will never be called as a Slayer. Eventually she and
her Watcher fall in love, get married and form a family. When she
finally reaches the age of 20, she is abruptly called to her duty and
her husband is taken away from her for violating codes of conduct with
his charge. Eliane refuses to accept her duty until her husband has
returned to her even though Tatoul, a particularly vicious vampire
plagues her city. When the demon finally steals her five year old child
and turns him into a vampire, she begins to fight back. But it may be
far too late.
Blood and Brine by Greg Cox
- The Caribbean, 1661 - Robin Whitby is the captain of a schooner titled
Neptune's Lady. She has been passing herself off as a man in
order to be accepted by her crew. While sailing the seas, they come
about a boat called the El Dorado which is strangely free of any
crew members, save for a young Spanish girl. The boat is loaded with
gold and treasures and in particular, an ugly little idol. After a brief
mutiny on board her ship as soon as the crew realizes that she's female,
half the members take the other boat and set off. However, the boat
becomes plagued by the kraken, a water monster with fangs and squid-like
arms, and Robin heads back to fight for the crew that once betrayed her.
In a fight with the kraken, Robin loses her right forearm to the beast,
losing a part of herself, yet still not defeating the hideous monster.

Again by Jane Espenson

into their 1999 bodies back in high school. They have all the knowledge
of what is to come because they are actually from the year 2001. Willow
and Xander are both disturbed and want to go back to the present time
but Buffy is determined to stay in the past where her mother still lives
and her life isn't nearly as complicated as it had become in the future.
All That You Do Comes Back Unto Thee: This short story SUCKED.
Like unbelievably sucked. It was written with a 5 year old's vocabulary;
the writer appears to have no storytelling skills at all; the story was
choppy and unpolished. It could have done with a billion revisions. The
story was stupid and a complete rehash of the episode "Inca Mummy Girl",
except that they made Xander a fearful little boy anytime the word
"mummy" was mentioned. The "gay boy is beaten up theme" was way too
overwrought and the interactions between the characters was horribly
written. Giles wasn't Giles, he was just some stupid guy that could
barely talk properly and had ridiculous interjections that had
absolutely nothing to do with the main storyline. And why oh WHY did
they do a story about Buffy? This is supposed to be about past slayers
(or so I thought.) What an awful way to start off the novel.
Lady Shobu: Much, much better than the first story.
This one was a tad confusing and I wasn't too fond of the battle scene
as well as the ending. Yet the beginning of the story was quite
intriguing, I just wish they'd elaborated more on the competition that
she was supposed to have been involved in. They could have had some
creative scenes involving that. However, still an interesting tale, and
much more along the lines of what I've come to expect from Tales of
the Slayer.
Abomination: Great story. I loved hearing that
a Slayer would fall in love with her Watcher (no worries, he was only 3
years older than her. Which, in itself, is strange, considering that
most Watchers were a great deal older than their Slayers.) Anyway, as
much as I didn't understand Eliane being selfishly consumed with her
family, so much so that she wouldn't fight back against the vampires, I
still enjoyed this story tremendously. It was an interesting twist to
make her 5 year old son into a vampire. However, I don't think a five
year old, vampire or not, would have been able to take down a Slayer.
Blood and Brine: Not so much a fan of this one. I'm not into the
whole pirates deal and if I heard any more pirate slang like "ye" and "avast
ye mateys" or anything else to that extent, I might have driven myself
mad. I also didn't like that Robin had to pass herself off as a man in
order to be accepted, but I guess that was the way back then. As painful
as it was to read, and strangely appropriate for a pirate, it was
interesting to see the Slayer sacrifice her forearm instead of her life.
Not that a forearm is more important than a life, but for a Slayer I'd
say it's pretty crucial. Anyway, this story is more for the...
"landlubbers." *shudder*
The Ghost of Slayers Past:
One of the better stories in this novel and definitely fascinating,
although they failed to give enough detail about some of the past
Slayers. However, still entertaining. Also kind of a harsh story... to
learn that a Watcher would actually beat their Slayer is beyond
disturbing. This one also mentioned other Slayers that tried to pass as
men in order to pass without suspicion. I thought it was hilarious how
Buffy went back into the past just in order to freak the Watcher out.
Absolutely hilarious.
The New Watcher: A really short story and
this one again deals with a Slayer passing herself off as a man. I
though it was interesting that a Slayer would want to enlist in the
army, especially since they're already so involved with death as it is.
I also liked that the commander or general or whatever, knew about
vampires and knew better than to suspect a woman of having lesser power.
Nicely done. However, I'm not a fan of the continuous vein in which
Slayers are passing off as men. It kind of discredits the fact that they
ARE female.
House of the Vampire: Dracula is brought back
again... and she supposedly kills the unkillable. But since he comes
back on Buffy years later I guess it's safe to say that she didn't
actually kill him. However, the battle scene ended a little too quickly
and left much to be desired. I did like the allusions they made towards
Sherlock Holmes over on Baker Street. They also used a character called
Springheel Jack which has been used in other stories. Turns out there
isn't just one Springheel Jack, but rather a race of demons that
continues to pass themselves off as the new Springheel Jack.
The War Between the States: This story had without
a doubt, the stupidest title because it's entirely irrelevant (unless I
REALLY missed something.) I liked how this was told as a story that was
alongside the current Slayer, instead of focusing entirely on her. Sally
Jean's obsession with Ardita became nearly psychotic at one point and I
actually thought she'd try to kill Ardita in an attempt to become her.
But the story took a different turn when Sally Jean realized that Ardita
was a Slayer and that demons did actually exist. This was an excellent
Stakeout on Rush Street: Told in first person, which is
completely irregular from any of the Buffy novels I've ever read, which
was odd at first, but made for a nice change in pace. The build up to
the end was nicely done, however, the ending felt rushed. I found it a
bit odd that this Slayer was actually married and the husband had no
idea that she was actually a Slayer. How on earth is that possible?
Wouldn't he wonder why she snuck out at night all the time? Why she had
weapons all over the house? That really didn't seem plausible.
Again: Despite my complaints about having Buffy oriented stories in
this novel, I did enjoy this story, which may in fact be because Jane
Espenson writes episodes for the actual show. The time travel was a neat
idea and I liked seeing the groups world view from a different more
mature perspective. I'm really grateful that the author did that...
well, up until we got to Buffy who almost had a mental breakdown when
describing her future life to Giles. That was absolutely heartbreaking
and absolutely depressing. The funny kicker was that it was all the
Trio's fault for the time travel, that really had me laughing.
On the
whole, this volume wasn't nearly as good as the first one. Which I think
has largely to do with the fact that very odd people were hired to write
the stories. Such as the Makeup Artist for Buffy, Todd A McIntosh, who
wrote the worst story. I don't understand why they would give a makeup
artist the chance to write a short story and then actually proceed to
publish it. Anyway, good historical info on past Slayers, just not
nearly told as well as the first one.
