Sandra Richardson and Bonnita Spikes have much in common. Both live in Upper Marlboro and are churchgoing Christians who have worked in nursing. Both have dealt with the pain of losing people they loved in murders.
When it comes to the death penalty, however, the two women are on opposite sides of one of the most divisive issues facing the General Assembly this year.
Richardson, 74, hopes to go to Annapolis this week to testify against Gov. Martin O'Malley's effort to end capital punishment in Maryland as she did when the governor made a similar effort four years ago. She'd like to tell lawmakers about her 38-year-old daughter, Lisa Richardson, who was strangled at her Charles County home in 2001 by a man who received a life sentence in a plea bargain.
A dozen years later, her voice chokes and tears fall when she tells the story.
"I don't think there's such a thing as closure," Richardson said. "I think there's such a thing as justice. What I feel is, my daughter didn't get justice."
Spikes, 59, plans to attend Thursday's hearings as a repeal advocate. She says she won't testify only because lawmakers have heard her story in previous years. Her tale is that of a mother of four whose husband stopped at a Manhattan market for a cold juice drink in 1994. Michael Spikes, 42, was shot and killed instantly in a robbery.
The two assailants were never caught. Even if they had been, Spikes wouldn't have wanted to see them executed.
"It wouldn't bring my baby back. It wouldn't bring my honey back. We were such a good pair," she said.
Maryland is not a state that sentences many people to death. Five men are on death row — three for crimes committed in 1983. Since 2006, the state has operated under a de facto moratorium because a court found fault with its rules governing lethal injections. The regulations haven't been replaced, and no executions are expected any time soon.
For opponents of capital punishment, a long-term halt is not enough. They want to repeal the death penalty and replace it with life without parole. They are optimistic they will succeed.
This year, for the first time since 2009, repeal advocates have the full support of the governor, who has made it part of his legislative agenda. They appear to have a slim majority on their side in the state Senate, where their efforts have foundered before. If they prevail in the Senate, they are confident that they have enough votes in the House of Delegates.
Before either chamber votes, however, lawmakers will hear from citizens Thursday in hearings before Senate and House committees.
Lawmakers can expect to hear many voices on each side. Religious leaders — Catholics, Protestants, Jews and Muslims — are expected to testify in favor of repeal. Prosecutors such as Baltimore County State's Attorney Scott Shellenberger, perhaps joined by some public safety employees, are likely to make a case for keeping the death penalty.
Adding their voices will be the families of murder victims, people who — like Richardson and Spikes — have come to profoundly different conclusions about the wisdom and morality of the state's putting killers to death.
Wishing 'a vile creature could die'
Richardson remembers exactly when she spoke with her daughter for the last time: 8:06 a.m. March 1, 2001. They talked about going to Home Depot together, but at 9 a.m. there was no answer at Lisa's home. Richardson figured it was no big deal and went ahead with plans for a weekend trip to Boston.
When she got home and learned that Lisa, a mother of three, was missing, she knew something was terribly wrong.
Two weeks later, Lisa's body was found in a backyard storage locker — a place Charles County sheriff's deputies admitted they had overlooked in searches of her house. Arrested and charged with first-degree murder after a high-speed chase in Lisa's car was Mark Wayne Jennings, 30, described in news reports as her boyfriend, though Richardson insists that the two were not romantically involved.
There was no trial. Jennings entered an Alford plea, conceding that the prosecution had enough evidence to convict but not admitting guilt.
During the sentencing hearing, Richardson asked the judge to impose the maximum sentence.

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) - Texas troopers have increased their patrols to watch for drunken drivers over the holiday period through Jan. 1.
The Texas Department of Public Safety says the additional patrols began Friday and will run through the Christmas and New Year's holiday periods. The enhanced patrols targeting DWI suspects are funded through a grant from the Texas Department of Transportation.
Troopers during the same period last year made more than 1,100 DWI arrests. About one-third of those arrests were credited to increased patrols. DPS also issued more than 15,000 speeding citations during the similar 2011 holiday period.
AAA has projected 7.7 million Texans will be traveling from Saturday through Jan. 1, with most driving.

At Davis Grant, we strongly emphasise the principle that positive and successful business decisions are assisted by the ability to assess timely and accurate information. We enable you to adhere to this principle by ensuring that your accounting books and records are properly maintained either manually or by using our own computerised bureau bookkeeping service. This service can be specifically adapted to meet your individual requirements. We can also assist and advise on the introduction and development of your own computerised accounting and management systems.
Sole Traders
As a minimum you will need trading accounts normally prepared annually. If there are any tax advantages to be gained by preparing accounts for a shorter or longer period we can identify the opportunity and advise you of your optimum choice. Once the accounts have been prepared and approved we will prepare the additional schedules to accompany your Self-Assessment Income Tax Return necessary for submission to the Inland Revenue.
The trading accounts needed by partnerships are often similar to those required for sole traders. Certain types of professional partnerships such as solicitors have additional requirements imposed both by legislation and their own professional bodies. Each partner will be required to submit an Income Tax Return and from 6th April 1997 each partner is separately responsible for his or her share of the partnership income and for the payment of his or her own tax and national insurance liabilities. This means that individual partners will no longer be liable to the Inland Revenue for the unpaid income tax liabilities of their partners arising from the partnership income. This will be a welcome improvement bringing peace of mind to many partners.
Limited Companies
The accounts required by a limited company depend on which of the following categories is applicable:
Companies with an annual turnover not exceeding £5,600,000 (£6,500,000 for accounting periods starting on or after 6th April 2008)
In this case your company will normally need only a set of accounts which comply with the Companies Act and for which the Directors take responsibility. There are exceptions and for fuller information please refer to our audit section.
Companies with an annual turnover exceeding £5,600,000(£6,500,000 for accounting periods starting on or after 6th April 2008)
In this case a Registered Auditor must carry out a full audit. Naturally Davis Grant are Registered Auditors. For further detail of the requirements please refer to our audit section.
In every case the company must prepare a Corporation Tax computation and prepare and submit a return on form CT600. The Company's accounts must be filed with the Registrar of Companies within strict time limits. We will attend to all these requirements on your behalf as a matter of course.

The Chief Judge of the Abuja High Court, Justice Lawal Gummi and a former Minister of Justice and Attorney-General of the Federation (AGF) Bayo Ojo, SAN Tuesday in Abuja called for the use of mediation as a means to resolve the incessant attacks by the Boko Haram sect as well as other ethnic and religious problems in the country.
Also the President of the Institute of Chartered Mediators and Conciliators (ICMC) Patrick Njoku called on conflict resolution practitioners especially mediators to take up the challenge and begin the process of restoring peace to Nigeria just as he declared that Nigerians have lost faith in the ability of the security agencies to protect their lives and properties.
Addressing the newly inducted fellows of the Institute of Chartered Mediators and Conciliators, Gummi said that the time has come to stop seeing litigation as the only means of resolving disputes.

Architect eyes 3 sites for arena | POLL
The thought of a huge arena occupying the lot where Erin O'Daniel's family has sold cars since 1934 puts the Evansville businessman at a difficult crossroads.
O'Daniel, the general manager of D-Patrick Ford, has strong personal ties to the 500 Walnut St. property. His grandfather, Joe O'Daniel, bought the lot and helped build a successful business there, one that Erin O'Daniel said still is going strong today, tough economy and all.
But with an architectural firm eyeing the property as a potential spot for a Downtown arena, O'Daniel said he also feels the need "to be a good corporate citizen."
Mayor Jonathan Weinzapfel said Wednesday that HOK is "keying on" three sites — one that would include the D-Patrick Ford parking lot and possibly the Executive Inn, the Civic Center parking lot and a site around the Old Greyhound Bus station on Sycamore Street.
HOK is one of three companies the city hired to end the arena debate. Weinzapfel said the companies will give a presentation to the Roberts Stadium Advisory Board in a public meeting in two to three weeks.
Soon after that, Weinzapfel and other city leaders are expected to make a decision on whether to replace the aging Roberts Stadium with a Downtown arena.
The sites were narrowed from a list of 11 locations suggested by Gateway Consultants, one of the original consultants in the arena debate.
"Those are the ones that made the most sense from the perspective of community development, traffic flow" and developable space, Weinzapfel said.
O'Daniel said he has not been contacted by HOK or the city about selling his property. But if an offer comes, he'll listen.
"We always want to be supportive of the city," he said.
Here's a breakdown of the sites, starting with the D-Patrick Ford parking lot:
n This site involves two possibilities. The first is a combination of Executive Inn and D-Patrick Ford. The site is bordered by Locust Street, King Boulevard, Walnut Street and Fifth Street. The 4.6-acre site is assessed at $5.3 million. That figure doesn't include the cost of demolishing the Executive Inn, which would need to be cleared to make room for an arena.
"A significant advantage of this site is the fact that it already has a bridge system in place from a garage and into the convention center," according to Gateway's site analysis. "Of particular importance is the bridge into the convention center. Connecting the two facilities would allow for a cross marketing of convention and conference space with arena-based activity."
The second possibility is the 6.9-acre D-Patrick parking lot, bordered by Walnut Street, King Boulevard, Chestnut Street and Fourth Street. This site has an assessed value of $3.8 million.
n The Civic Center parking lot is an attractive site because the space already is owned by the Evansville-Vanderburgh County Building Authority. With more than 12 acres of space, there's also plenty of room for a 10,000-seat arena, the size that Gateway recommended.
The added space provides "the building operator with options for accommodating specific parking needs for the building," according to the analysis. "A new arena at this location could have a strong urban presence at the corner of Walnut and Ninth streets."
n Two possibilities have been proposed at the Old Greyhound Bus station. The first is 4.75 acres. It is bordered by Sycamore, Fourth, Vine and Second streets. The city owns 17 of the 30 parcels in the area, which have a combined assessed value of $1.9 million.
The Greyhound site is only a few blocks from Casino Aztar and is close to Main Street, which has seen a resurgence of residential growth over the last several years.
The second Greyhound site is 4.9 acres. It is bordered by Sycamore, Third, Court and Second streets. This site has 30 separate parcels and, like the first one, the city owns 17 of them. The total assessed value is $2.8 million.
"The Greyhound site, in this version, is architecturally more interesting, because the current bus station could be configured into the arena as an iconic architectural feature," according to the analysis. The station could be converted into a ticket office, retail store, gift shop, dining area or serve as an "iconic entry" into the arena.
The cost of a 10,000-seat arena has been estimated at about $92 million. In addition to recommending a location, the consultants also will present a proposal of how to fund an arena.
A date has not been set for the Advisory Board meeting, but board President Wayne Henning said the consultants originally had a Dec. 15 deadline to present a report.
Henning said he's eager to finish the stadium debate.
"It is complicated," he said of the more than yearlong process of board meetings, 100-plus page reports and presentations. "It was complicated 55 years ago for H.O. Roberts, and it's complicated today."
Henry O. "Hank" Roberts was the mayor in 1951 who began pushing the idea of building an events facility in Evansville that would put the city at the forefront of college athletics and entertainment. And for a period of time, it certainly did.
But by Dec. 1, 1956, the day Roberts Stadium was dedicated, Roberts was no longer in office. He was defeated a year earlier in the Republican primary for mayor, a loss some attribute to the building that to this day bears his name.

WASHINGTON (AP) _ Hillary Rodham Clinton is now Secretary of
After Senate confirmation late Wednesday afternoon, Clinton was sworn in as the nation's 67th secretary of state in her office in the
Russell Senate Office Building. Attending the private ceremony were
her husband, former President Bill Clinton, and her Senate staff.
According to her office, Clinton used the Bible that belonged to her late father. To assume the office, she submitted her resignation as senator in twin letters to Vice President Joe Biden, as president of the Senate, and to New York Gov. David Paterson.
The former first lady plans to be on the job at the State Department tomorrow. It's expected she'll address employees in the main lobby in the morning. That's become a tradition of sorts for secretaries of state on their first day on the job.

BOISE, Idaho (10/9/2009) - Utah State broke open a defensive battle midway through the second half to record a 1-0 road victory over Boise State Friday afternoon in Boise. The match was a tightly contested affair throughout the 90 minutes with neither team seeing many scoring opportunities. The Broncos out shot the Aggies 11-to-seven in total shots but the visitors placed more on goal by a three-to-two margin including the game-winner in the 67th minute.
Boise State opened the match fast taking three shots in the first 10 minutes. Unfortunately, none of them were on goal as the two teams played tough defense denying any quality shots in the opening 45-minutes. They took a scoreless draw into the halftime break with Utah State recording the only shot on goal.
The second half continued to be a defensive battle. However, both teams were able to get two shots on goal in the period.
The first shot on goal was all the Aggies needed as Natalie Norris recorded the match-winner from 12 yards out when she headed a Lindsey Smart corner kick from the right side past the defense and into goal for the 1-0 Utah State advantage with 23 minutes to play.
Boise State attempted to rally late in the contest when the Broncos placed two shots on goal. The first was by Cheyenne Jones in the 84th minute when she fired from 16 yards out that was denied by Nevada's keeper Molli Merrill. Two minutes later the Broncos attacked again when Chelsea Robinson fired from close range only to see her shot blocked by the keeper. The deflection of Robinson's shot was volleyed back at goal by Kaylea Perenon but the ball sailed high over the crossbar.
The Broncos kept up the pressure trying to get even until the final buzzer sounded. Cheyenne Jones sent a shot at goal in the 87th minute that was blocked by a defender in the 18-yard box. Brandy Hickcox headed a free kick at goal that was also blocked by a defender in the 88th minute.
Utah State placed its final shot at goal in the 89th minute when the Aggies broke free on a fastbreak but was denied by the Broncos Jennifer Burns in goal.
Boise State had one final chance to tie the score in the final minute when Hickcox headed another cross at the Aggie goal but sent it wide right with 21 seconds to play.
The loss drops Boise State to 6-5-4 on the year and 1-2-0 in Western Athletic Conference play. Utah State notches its first league win of the year at 1-1-0 and moved to 6-7-1 overall. Next up for the Broncos is the University of Nevada (4-8-0, 1-0-0 WAC) at 1:00 p.m. (Mountain) on Sunday afternoon. The Wolf Pack played at the University of Idaho Friday, no score was available when this story was posted.

Classical Beauty Submerged
Classical Beauty Submerged contains an image of a classical sculpture. This image is the central image that forms the basis of the context of this woodcut. The image of the draped figure was once considered an ideal body depiction, but by today's context she would be considered overweight. Below her is water and beneath the water is what we might consider the ideal body type. The scars that cover her body are the scars of this idealization.

For a commercial, industrial, or institutional building owner, the roof of your building is one of the most critical elements of your property management programs. With clients occupying those spaces, or potentially millions of dollars worth of equipment inside your property, a leaky roof cannot be tolerated. Controlling the cost of your roofing programs, while maintaining the integrity and full lifespan of your investment, must be a top priority. The problem many seem to face is how to deal with all the different types of roofs they may be responsible to maintain. When a manager oversees buildings roofed with a variety of materials, such as BUR, single ply (EPDM, TPO, PVC, etc), metal, modified bitumen, and low rise foam, it can be difficult to know how to deal with each roof type, if you are not a professional roofing contractor. That is when having a partner who will work with you, with your best intentions in mind, is absolutely critical.
At ISR, our team will work with you to maximize the useful life of your roofing systems. Covering all of western North Carolina and southwestern Virginia, we are ready to respond to any roof leaks you may encounter or set up a long term roof management program to extend the life of your existing flat or low slope roof system.
Full service commercial roofing contractor
Service all flat and low slope roof types
Install rooftop wind turbine systems
Install skylights other types of roof penetrations
Install green roof systems
Seal and waterproof leaky HVAC systems
Develop long term roof maintenance programs
Most importantly, we make your job easier by removing the burden of roof care off your shoulders.
Commercial and Industrial Roof Coatings in the 21st Century
Roof coatings have been enjoying a revival of sorts over the last decade. Roof coatings of different types have been in use for thousands of years. Records of pitch being used in roofing can be dated back over 4500 years. New advancements in elastomerics and chemical based coatings have brought advancements in commercial and industrial roof coatings that were not possible just 20 years ago. They can flow into cracks and splits that other roof repairs have attempted to fix but were not able to. Some roof coatings have the ability to flex and float to accommodate movement in structures. Some coatings reflect heat back into the atmosphere, reducing surface ozone levels and decreasing temperatures inside buildings. All roof coatings, if applied correctly on a suitable surface, will extend the life of your roof.
With that being said, no particular type of commercial roof coating will work on every roof. Some considerations that need to be taken into are…
The type of roof. Metal roofs move much more than a low slope roof like an EPDM due to thermal shock and building movement. The movement of a roof, among other factors, will determine if you can coat the roof, and what type of coating you should use.
The slope of the roof. The slope of the roof should be taken into consideration when determining what type of coating should be used. Low slope roofs almost always have some degree of water ponding. Water sitting on a water based coating over the long term will speed up the eventual failure of the coating system. Generally speaking, solvent based coatings should be preferred over water based on low slope roofs.
The condition of the roof. The roof needs to be thoroughly inspected before a coating is installed. In the case of a metal roof, if the roof is rusty and can be punctured with an ink pen, repairs are necessary before the coating is applied. The coating will not stick to the surface if excessive rust is present. There is also the potential of injury. If there are soft spots present which are merely covered up, a person walking on the roof could step on the soft spot and fall through.
Each roof is different. A roofing professional with a history of coatings work needs to give each roof a thorough inspection before any coating project should be considered. There are several different variables to consider beyond just the ones mentioned in this article. Everything from FDA requirements in an industrial food processing plant to odors from solvent based coatings in a hospital setting must be considered. If all due diligence is performed and the work is executed by a professional, you will likely reap the benefits of your coatings project for years to come.

This school is amazing!! The teachers are there for the children, bottom line!
—Submitted by a parent
Welcome to St. Francis de Sales School. Founded in 1901 St. Francis de Sales has an outstanding history of success. Tens of thousands of alumni attribute their life blessings to the foundation in faith, morals and education received at St. Francis de Sales School. We welcome you to join our school family.
Of the many important decisions that you will make in life, few are more important than the ones that affect your children. And of all those choices, selecting a school may well prove to be the most important. Early on, the choice of a school might not seem that consequential. While attending preschool and kindergarten, your children will spend as much time at home as they do in school. But as they grow older, your children spend more time out of your care. Their values, their friendships, the things that will guide them for the rest of their lives are shaped, for the most part, by the school you choose for them.
As many parents in our community have discovered, selecting St. Francis de Sales School to provide a faith-based education is an investment that delivers a lifetime of benefits.

Archery season is coming quick and to be honest with y'all, I am getting butterflies already. I need some sage advice on the maximum range I should be looking to shoot for my first archery hunt. I know the easy answer is "whatever I'm comfortable with" but if I am so fortunate to get my sights on an animal my first year out I am going to have a very severe case of buck fever and I can't be certain I will be "comfortable" at any range.
My bow is sighted in for 10, 20, 15 and 30 yds (it is a single pin sight) as I always figured that was safe and when I'm shooting at my target in the safe confines of my backyard, the groups are tight and consistent enough to be deadly. I want to be reasonable and ethical but I don't want to sell myself short either.
I have read a few posts where some are shooting out to 50-80+ yds. I have heard that range doesn't matter so much; if your form is good enough to shoot well at 10, then the rest just fall into place. I understand the logic of that in theory but not so much in practice.
Should I be practicing at longer ranges, say 50 yds. to expect to be able to do well at 30-40 yds?
Love to hear some thoughts on this from folks with more experience.
Thanks in advance!

Pieter Arnoldus Cronjé, commonly known as Piet Cronjé ('KRON-year') (Colesberg, Cape Colony, 4 October 1836 – Potchefstroom, Transvaal, 4 February 1911) was a general of the South African Republic's military forces during the Anglo-Boer wars of 1880-1881 and 1899-1902.
Born in the Cape Colony but raised in Transvaal, Cronjé made his reputation in the First Boer War, besieging the British garrison at Potchefstroom. He had a distinctive appearance, being short with a black beard and was reputed to have considerable personal courage.
He was in command of the force that rounded up Jameson at Doornkop at the conclusion of the Jameson Raid on 2 January 1896. During the Second Boer War Cronjé was general commanding in the western theatre of war. He began the sieges of Kimberley and Mafeking. At Mafeking, with a force varying between 2,000 and 6,000 he laid siege against 1,200 regular troops and militia under the command of Colonel Robert Baden-Powell.
His novel tactics at the Battle of Modder River, where his infantry were positioned at the base of the hills instead of on them (in order to increase the effectiveness of their rifles' flat trajectories) earned him a place in military history.
After his surrender with 4,000 of his commandos at Paardeberg on 27 February 1900, he was imprisoned as a prisoner of war in St. Helena Island where he remained until the conclusion of peace negotiations in 1902.

The UpTake: Aaron Feuer was aware of Mark Zuckerberg's interest in education when he talked with the Facebook boss about his startup, Panorama Education. But he was still surprised when Zuckerberg anted up on the company's first funding round.
Handling paper surveys. "We've created our own technology for reading survey forms. Scantron (a standard producer of machine-readable forms) were too expensive. We've created an alternative to Scantron forms that is like 40 times cheaper. We work with Kendall Press (in Cambridge). The school sends us back a bunch of survey forms, and Kendall Press turns zillions of pages of paper in PDFs for us … Then our servers convert the PDF images into digital responses."
Analytics. "What we find most exciting is the analytics piece. Our challenge is we have to give every teacher, principal and superintendent a report with things they didn't already know, that's easy to understand … We are probably only 5 percent of the way there. I feel like we are much better than the status quo in terms of sharing insights, but nowhere near where we have to go."
Improving schools. "We help (schools) figure out what's going on, why that's happening, and what they can do to make it better. In one of our big districts, they surveyed students and teachers, and found that teachers cared deeply about students, and the students didn't realize the teachers cared about them. There's tons of research showing that when students feel teachers care about them, they do better in class. So this helps teachers to understand they need to show they care … Every teacher gets their feedback analysis from our platform. With a traditional consultant, the district gets the report. But in this case, it's personalized advice to each teacher."
Business model. "The cost varies by district size. We have a couple $100 contracts. Some of the contracts are in the hundreds of thousands of dollars for larger clients. It's an annual (software-as-a-service) licensing fee … I think what makes us proudest is we've never had a district unable to afford us. And that's why we do this."

"I leave this as a declaration of intent, so no one will get confused. 1: Si vis pacum para bellum. Latin. If you want peace, prepare for war. 2: Frank Castle is dead. He died with his family. 3: In certain extreme situations, the law is inadequate. In order to shame its inadequacies, it is necessary to act outside the law. To pursue natural justice. This isn't vengeance. Revenge is not a valid motive, it's an emotional response. No, not vengeance. Punishment "
Gray looked like shit in his last couple of fights. The Camoes fight would have been a decent tune up fight for him in order to get back on track but this is going to be a hard fight for him. Pearson on the other hand, has been looking great lately and after that bullshit decision loss to Sanchez, I imagine he's extra motivated to make a statement. Pearson should take this.
I dont know if I would say Gray looked like shit for TJ or TJ just looked that good. Gray caught TJ a couple times at the start of their fight but then fell apart once he got rocked by TJ.
I guess with Pearson's boxing, Gray's chin might be in question but I see Maynard pulling off a decision.

And if you want beef, then bring the ruckus
Close fight but I think Gray takes it...the only tough fight Pearson has had lately has been Melvin and he was losing that fight until it ended in a no contest. I see Gray landing some good shots and getting some takedowns for a close decision win.
I hope this isn't too big, because it's awesome.
Maynard is frustrating to watch. He's evolved into yet another grappler who had some success on their feet and mistook it for proof that they were dangerous striker. He hits hard but his boxing technique adequate at best.
If Maynard goes in to muscle Pearson around and put him on his back he could well take this. If he goes out to sit in the pocket and trade I think he'll get the worst of it (although Pearson's love of the inside slip could potentially duck him into an uppercut and Maynard does have some nasty power.)

The city of Santa Clarita's population has gone up by more than 4,000 residents or almost two percent since January 2013.
The city of Santa Clarita has maintained its status as the third-largest city in Los Angeles County, with a population growth of 4,055 residents or almost 2 percent between January 2013 and January 2014, according to a report by the state Department of Finance.
Don't miss a thing. Get breaking Santa Clarita news alerts delivered right to your inbox.
With 209,130 residents, Santa Clarita is behind the city of Long Beach, 470,292 residents, and the city of Los Angeles itself, 3.9 million residents, in terms of size.
The city of Glendale falls into fourth place in L.A. County, with about 196,000 residents.
"The city of Santa Clarita is known for its exceptional quality of life, community-driven leadership and top notch municipal services," said Mayor Laurene Weste. "Santa Clarita continues to attract new residents seeking a safe, beautiful place to call home."
Since it was founded in 1987, Santa Clarita has annexed almost 13 square miles and 45,000 residents into the city limits.
Of last year's increase, only 40 residents were annexed in. The rest was organic growth, according to City Spokeswoman Gail Morgan.

And while the population is increasing, schools across the Santa Clarita Valley have reported declining enrollment, according to officials with the districts.
This could be attributed to several different factors, Morgan said.
Declining enrollment could be due to the addition of private and charter school choices available to parents in the SCV.
It also could be an indicator that the demographic of the valley is changing, Morgan said, meaning that the population could be aging or that the families moving into Santa Clarita have fewer school-age children.
But no in-depth studies have been done on the topic, she said.

CEDAR RAPIDS, IOWA - It's all about keeping them comfortable. Everyday, 82-year-old Billie Cooley opens her garage door so kids in her neighborhood can stay warm and dry as they wait for the school bus.
More than a dozen children race down the street in the morning, skipping and playing as they make their way to her house. All the kids she greets are nine years of age or younger.
"When it's cold, or windy, snowing and raining, I just open my garage door for them," Cooley said.
The humble woman says she enjoys all the kids. She even keeps a temperature gauge and clock in her garage so the kids can see the time and temp as they wait.
"When you live alone it's nice to have a distraction like all the little kids coming," Cooley said.
This friendly neighbor has been opening her doors to keep the kids from suffering in the cold for about five years.
"I like Ms. Cooley because she is nice and sweet and she lets us stay in the garage where it is nice and warm instead of staying out there like regular bus stops so we can stay where the warm is," one of the neighbor kids said.
"Her real name is Billie and when she was little they called her Billie Goat Gruff," the kids said, giggling.
The bus driver who picks this group of students up everyday said Cooley deserves an award for her efforts, but for Cooley it isn't about recognition. This is just something she enjoys doing and she hopes others will do the same.
"Maybe people will see this on TV and other people will be inspired to do the same thing...at other bus stops." Cooley said.

In the Beginning
Through a series of listening projects and community analysis in 2004, Whole Child determined the following about our community:
Strengths of our Community
- More women receive prenatal care than in the past.
- More children are immunized than the state average.
- Domestic violence is down.
- Residents feel safer in their neighborhoods.
- Leon has among the state's lowest unemployment and high school dropout rates.
- Leon's median income is $7,000 higher than the state average.
- Leon has several model child care centers.
- Most parents say they read to their children.
Our Community's Challenges
- Leon has more low birth weight babies and a higher infant mortality rate than the state average, especially high among African Americans.
- Leon has a growing number of babies at high risk of developmental problems.
- Infant maltreatment is on the rise.
- Nearly 40% of abuse involves children under age 6.
- Almost 40% of new births are to single moms.
- Many neighborhoods are isolated and not designed to support children or interaction among neighbors.
- More than 40% of children live in poverty.
- There is a lack of affordable, quality child care.
- Leon has a higher than average number of children entering school not ready to learn and retained in kindergarten.
Since that time, Whole Child has worked with community leaders to delve further into determining the root causes of our challenges and in finding ways to more effectively serve our young children and their families. Below are our a few of most recent annual reports that outline specific goals and accomplishments.
Annual Reports

Collectively Determining Vital Needs In The Community
The first few years of developing Whole Child Leon were about forming relationships, partnerships, and action plans. In November 2008, community stakeholders (public and private, large and small) came together at a "Community Summit" and adopted 3 key areas that would be its focus for FY: 2009-2010
and subsequent years:
1. Children Are Healthy At Age 1
2. Children Are Making Appropriate Progress
3. Children Are Entering Kindergarten Ready To Succeed
Taking Action—The 2009-2010 Annual Report shares some of the highlights of what has been accomplished within one year of the Summit with indicators as to how each relates to the 3 key areas. WCL AR_FY09-10.pdf 911.12 kB
In the 2008 Annual Report, we highlight success stories and significant steps in key areas as well as our plan for the future. Every one of our 90-plus collaborative partners shares a vision for the day when all children in Leon County are healthy at age 1, making appropriate progress, and entering kindergarten ready to succeed. If any group of people can create that day for our community, it is the many partners of Whole Child Leon. With this report, we issue a challenge. Please make giving children a good start in life a priority in the decisions you make, the issues you champion and the programs you support. Join Whole Child Leon in building a community where everyone works together to make sure children thrive. 2008 WCL Annual Report.pdf 3.04 MB
The 2007 WCL Annual Report outlines the many accomplishments that took place over the year, including: the KidCare initiative; the inaugural Family-Friendly Business Award; Establishing the Whole Child Training Academy; Getting a permanent home for Whole Child Leon; Producing the Catching Smiles musical CD; Initiated the Quality Rating and Improvement System for Child Care Centers. 2007 WCL Annual Report.pdf 2.51 MB

Val Farmer: Ole Miss football fans have proper perspectiveI traveled to the Ole Miss-BYU football game at Oxford, Miss., with my two sons and two sons-in-law. The best part of the trip was how well we got along and the camaraderie of the weekend together. Good BBQ. Beale Street in Memphis. Tailgating. A thrilling game. It was a great time.
By: By Val Farmer, INFORUM
I traveled to the Ole Miss-BYU football game at Oxford, Miss., with my two sons and two sons-in-law. The best part of the trip was how well we got along and the camaraderie of the weekend together. Good BBQ. Beale Street in Memphis. Tailgating. A thrilling game. It was a great time.
Graciousness in victory and defeat. I learned a few things about Ole Miss and the atmosphere around college football. From the moment we arrived in our BYU colors, we were greeted with respect, courtesy and hospitality.
We heard an expression about the importance of victory and winning at Ole Miss. "You can lose a game, but you can't lose a party."
The people we met went out of their way to express their appreciation for having come to Oxford. They were proud of their community and university and hoped we were getting a positive impression. They wished us a good game. There wasn't a rude or unkind word mentioned before or after the game. The hospitality was consistently genuine.
BYU experienced a slim one-point victory and the game hung in the balance till the last minute. Despite the heartbreak of defeat, the Ole Miss fans congratulated us on our victory. This graciousness in defeat was striking and consistent.
It seems this attitude is communicated to all visiting teams and their fans with the possible exception of their rivals from Louisiana State University – which of course is blamed on the LSU fans.
The "Holy Grail" of tailgating. Speaking of parties, the traditions of Ole Miss tailgating are regarded as the best in college football. Students are given access after school on Friday to set up their tents in the Grove, a 10-acre park on campus. The students dress up in evening wear, summer cocktail dresses, collared shirts and in some cases ties and coats. It is a visual riot of acres and acres of color, fashion, food and hospitality.
Food and beverages are plentiful along with flat-screen TV's and other comforts. It is a sea of red and white humanity amid walkways and pathways that separated the tents. The home crowd and the visitors mingled and visited together in close proximity.
Shortly after one o'clock, the team buses drove up and the football players exited and walked on a path under a sign, "Walk of Champions," while the crowd cheered them and the bands played. The throngs chanted their fight song. The pre-game excitement was so compelling that we felt almost worn out even before the game began.
The magazine Southern Living had an article citing Ole Miss Game Day as one of the 10 events you must attend before you die. It truly was a spectacle.
Putting sports in perspective. In a day and age when loutish and profane behavior is so much a part of athletic competition, Ole Miss stands out as putting sports in perspective. Maybe it is because their championship seasons are 50 years in the past, the sting of defeat or the pride of victory doesn't spill over into the way they treat their guests. Whatever it is, it is certainly refreshing and positive.
Compare that to a hockey riot in Vancouver, Canada, or violence during or after a San Francisco 49ers/Oakland Raiders football game. The excessive emotional investment of fans in winning or losing might be more telling about the impoverishment of character and distorted perspectives of fans who need a winning team to feel good about themselves.
The Southern Baptists (bless their hearts) hosted the Mormons (bless their hearts), and both fan bases met and mixed with respect and courtesy. That fact alone may justify BYU's effort to be independent when it comes to college football. One can only hope that the fans in Provo, Utah, will be as gracious in victory or defeat when Ole Miss comes to play as were our hosts in Oxford.
Maybe the Ole Miss expression could be put another way, "We may lose the game, but we can't lose a friend."

Since my father's passing, there has been a postage stamp with his image, a star on Hollywood Blvd.; two attempted revivals of The Twilight Zone; a Disney ride; a movie, books, graphic novels and an innovative program called "The Fifth Dimension."
With his well-fitting suits and unsettlingly calm delivery, it seemed as if Serling was almost marveling at his ability to shock both his characters and his viewers.

What's so good?
By Justin Lam | Dec 19, 2012 | Total plays: 7,547
The production this time round seems a lot more cleaner and crisp in my opinion, and has a very similar vibe to many of the songs released on their debut album Escapades back in 2010. Rustling drums and fast paced guitar accompanied with Dean McGrath's enthused vocals is a recipe for delight.
Staying true to their 60's pop vibe, "Twin Cities" delivers yet again for the Brisbane four piece. Roll on, February 22, 2013!
