The Enterprise South industrial park hosts Volkswagen and Amazon facilities.Photo by Dan Henry.

Volkswagen quality inspector Sean Moss knows it takes a strategic plan to find front-row parking at the largest industrial park in the region, Enterprise South. For him, that means arriving an hour before his 6 a.m. shift to get a spot in rows 1 through 10, which leaves him only a 10-minute hike to the plant door.
From East Brainerd to Pikeville to South Pittsburg, from inside and outside Hamilton County, 5,000-plus employees commute daily to Enterprise South, looking for space in the crowded lots.
Some carpool. Some walk a half-mile to get to the front of their building. At least one employer has adapted work shifts to give employees coming and going time to empty and refill parking spots. During the holidays, when Amazon hires thousands of temporary employees, the road looks like its own parking lot when everyone tries to get home.
Efficiently moving employees and supplies is key to productivity at the park and will become even more important if Chattanooga's VW plant is chosen to build the company's planned midsize SUV.
That's why the Chattanooga Area Regional Transportation Authority is aiming for a state grant to add its first major bus route since 1998, offering a shuttle service that would drop off employees at the 11 businesses across Enterprise South -- a major undertaking that requires studying each business shift change and coordinating with some of the 16 current bus routes across the city.
"It's going to take serious planning work," said Lisa Maragnano, CARTA's director. "Because if nobody rides we'll have to put it out and take it off; that's just heartache for anybody."
To find out how many Enterprise South employees live in the Chattanooga city limits to justify the new bus route, CARTA partnered with the Chattanooga Area Chamber of Commerce to conduct a ZIP code survey that pinpointed workers' locations.
More than 2,000 Enterprise South employees live within the city limits. Of those, the largest number -- about 730 -- live in East Brainerd. About 379 live in Hixson, although some are outside Chattanooga's city limits, and 236 live in Brainerd.
But there are only a handful of workers in the smaller communities where unemployment is high. East Lake has 68 employees, while Alton Park has 35.
City Councilman Yusuf Hakeem said one of the main purposes for a direct route to Enterprise South should be to target high-unemployment areas.

In pockets of the city, potential workers may not have cars and no other way to get to the jobs at the plant. The closest bus route to the industrial park is off Bonny Oaks Drive, which would mean a 30-minute walk to the front of Volkswagen Drive.
"We've got to get people to the jobs," he said.
Charles Wood, the Chamber's vice president for economic development, said the goal of adding employment options is a huge driver for a new route, but officials don't yet have plans for targeting specific high-unemployment areas.
CARTA's preliminary plan calls either for adding a bus route in the largest ZIP code areas where employees live or using the existing fixed routes in those locations to bring employees to one of CARTA's eight park-and-ride locations in areas from Northgate Mall to Highway 58. From there, shuttle buses would haul employees to and from their jobs at the industrial park.
But before any plans can be cemented, CARTA has to get the money to add the route. Officials have applied for a three-year, $1.5 million state grant, and Chattanooga has committed $300,000 in the 2015 fiscal budget for the project.
Those costs would go toward payroll, bus maintenance, fuel, marketing and other operational expenses, said Maragnano.
The second hurdle will be convincing employees that unlimited rides and efficient, fast and reliable service is worth a $50 monthly fee.
Most shifts in the companies at Enterprise South, from the manufacturing plant Gestamp to the Amazon Fulfillment Center, start between 6 and 8 a.m. Most evening shifts start around 6 p.m.
That means the bus routes would need to run in the mornings and evenings to accommodate the largest number of employees, Maragnano said, but that also means the shuttle won't be an option for some smaller companies with odd shift times.
Wood said the companies in Enterprise South have a real interest in seeing this route added to give their employees more options and cut down on parking problems.
During last year's holiday season, Amazon had to offer alternative parking in a soccer field on Bonny Oaks. Tag Manufacturing's lot is completely full, even as the owners say they are looking to expand.
There is currently an hour lag time between shifts, said co-owner Terry Wilt of Tag Manufacturing, a steel fabrication company that was the first to build in the Enterprise South park. And next week he plans to meet with city and county officials to work out a deal for a new parking lot.
"If employees would use a [bus] that would be a great idea," Wilt said.
If the money is available, Maragnano's dream is to introduce at least one bus in time for early October when Amazon typically starts to hire its holiday staff.

Never worry about the ammount you have to kill - just do it.
As a non PVP'er I never used to go for the 'for the horde' or 'for the alliance'. So recently on my alliance mage i was asked and thought 'what the hell - thrall wont be there for much longer'. So off to ogri we went (all 30 of us). As normal we lost about 5 en route, and another 1-2 to d/c's
Worried we wouldnt make it - we decided just to charge immediately. So we did - and horde in ogri being what they are on our server immediately responded with a defense raid. I decided I was going to defend the raid from the horde, so after building 4 AB stacks on Thrall (and not forgetting to use my red rider gun from last christmas) I turned. My joy was unrestrained when I saw 5 locks enter, supposedly to dot everyone to death. Each one fell in turn to a mighty AB - the smallest one was 50k (yes I was in res gear to help with the incoming damage). To my even greater joy, more ran in, a DK - spat, a Druid in bear form - 70k crit - splat, I was enjoying it so much when the achievement dropped, i didnt even turn round to see Thralls body, I got over 50hks myself (at least 10 were locks!) in that room - finally falling as I was the last in the raid to survive, and was stunned from behind by someone, before taking massive damage myself.
Surprisingly enought the raid fell apart when we went to thunderbuff - mostly cos we got seperated and waited for 15 mins just before the boss for stragglers - which meant when we did engage him about 50 horde were waiting for us - and i was targetted 1st :)

WILMINGTON, NC (WECT) - A memo generated in the North Carolina General Assembly says the state's Film Incentive Tax Credit has not generated as many jobs as many people thought.
The memo, generated in January and delivered to Senator Bob Rucho (R-Mecklenberg) by the Fiscal Research Division of the Legislative Services Office, comes in the form of an eight-page memo.
[Click here to read the memo in its entirety]
The findings show "the Film Production Credit likely attracted between 55 and 70 new jobs to North Carolina in 2011, which is 290 to 350 fewer jobs than would have been created through an across-the board tax reduction of the same magnitude."
The report goes on to say "However, as there is no way to directly measure the economic impact of the Film Credit, the REMI model provides an informed estimate of how the Film Credit impacts business activity in North Carolina."
The memo explains that "the Regional Economic Models Incorporated (REMI) PI+ model.... estimates how the economic system would react to changes in the policy environment, so the results are only estimates."
The memo does not show any figures or statistics from 2012, when several large productions began shooting in southeastern North Carolina, including Iron Man 3, Safe Haven, and the NBC show Revolution.
"The report doesn't reflect what is happening in North Carolina's Film Industry," said Aaron Syrett, the Director of the North Carolina Film Office. "The film industry put about 4,000 North Carolinians to work as well paid highly skilled crew members and actors, in addition to 22,000 as film extras. In 2012 the industry spent $376 million directly in our local communities."
Johnny Griffin, head of the Wilmington Regional Film Commission, said the study did not rely on date from the North Carolina Department of Revenue, which audits all projects that film in the state.
Griffin said the proof is in the numbers.
"We've seen production go from in 2010, $43 million dollars being spent to last year about $247 million being spent here," he said. "So, the incentives have done exactly what they were meant to do which was to bring productions to the area."
Griffin said it isn't clear where the numbers used in the study are from and that local and state film leaders weren't consulted as part of the report.
"There are hundreds of people who work in the area every day," he said. "I can show you one project alone that created $15 to $20 million in payroll. To read in a report that they can only show $2 to $3 million in wages that have been created, I don't know where that information is coming from. It just doesn't make any sense."
He said if state leaders are planning on stopping the incentive program, it would harm the local economy.
"If the incentives were to go away altogether, basically, the majority of the film business would just leave," he said.
North Carolina's Film Tax Incentives are set to expire on January 1, 2015 according to the NC Film Office.

Merrianne Dyer, superintendent of Gainesville City Schools, has been telling me about a successful wrap-around program to help at-risk students. Dr. Dyer felt that the program was worth sharing with other districts in Georgia. (I am hoping to get more educators on the blog talking about what works, per the many requests from readers.)
I asked her to tell us what Gainesville is doing. Here is her detailed account.
By Dr. Merrianne Dyer
Gainesville City Schools found our best school improvement initiative in the wake of a hurricane.
In August of 2005, Hurricane Katrina left the Gulf Coast devastated. In the hard days that followed, schools were challenged to re-open buildings and focus traumatized children on learning. Rhonda Waltman, an assistant superintendent for student support in Mobile, AL, asked, "How can we get these children around the barriers that this disaster created and get them back to school?"
She found her answer in a somewhat unexpected place, the Center for Mental Health in Schools at UCLA. The center, founded and directed by Dr. Linda Taylor and Dr. Howard Adelman, offers a framework that creates a Comprehensive Learning Supports System.
Dr. Waltman used their resources and guidance to find ways to address the barriers to learning after Hurricane Katrina. The work was supported financially by the Scholastic Publishing Company, who published "Rebuilding for Learning" based on this experience.
It was not long after that the framework began to draw the attention of schools and districts who struggled to address the barriers that high poverty schools face each day. Anyone who has ever worked with high-needs children knows that the barriers the children face cannot be overcome by good instruction or management alone. Reports of the results along the Gulf Coast began to spread by word of mouth, and many schools and districts across the country reached out to UCLA for assistance in addressing the socio-economic barriers that exist in their communities.
Then, in 2007, the American Association of School Administrators joined as a partner with Scholastic to support extending the use of this system to other districts across the nation.
In 2008, Gainesville City Schools was selected as one of four districts in a LEAD Collaborative to implement the work and document the results. The basic premise is that instruction, management, and student learning supports are three components that must work together systematically in an on-going manner in order to address the significant barriers that students face today. The framework offers a method of eliminating fragmentation of services and offers a coherent approach.
The work includes an emphasis on prevention and intervention to prevent or remove barriers before crisis situations develop. Community and agency supports are woven into this school improvement system.
This resource is available to any school or district free of charge through an on-line learning institute. A collaborative network of school principals, superintendents, counselors, and teachers shares ideas via the UCLA web-site. Scholastic and AASA have made it possible for us to meet together twice a year to participate in professional learning and sharing together.
For example, take the case of Anthony who struggled academically, was chronically late or absent from school, and was on probation for a drug-related charge through juvenile court. Before the comprehensive system of learning supports was in place, Anthony would have been referred to the counselor or social worker after experiencing difficulty and referred for tutoring or special after-school assistance. His parole officer would be informed. The efforts to help him would be on the margins of the school day and offered in fragments.
Now, the student data is analyzed each month by school and district teams on a district level in three groups: instruction, management, and learning supports. These teams include community non-profit agencies who serve families and children. The teams have mapped the school and community resources available that will address specific learning barriers. The resources are divided into six content areas: classroom approaches, support for transitions, family engagement, community support, crisis response, and student-family interventions. These resources are applied to a student in need in a coherent, unified, and simultaneous way.
Anthony's needs are identified and the available resources are prescribed in a support plan that is administered before he begins to struggle. He is placed with teachers who work well with high-needs students and provides feedback and assistance. School personnel conduct a welcome meeting that includes the parole officer and parents. A faculty member is assigned to be an at school mentor, checking with him each day and offering encouragement.
The teacher-mentor finds out what sports or extra-curricular interests that Anthony has and facilitates his participating. The parent coordinator and counselor does a home visit or conducts a phone interview to introduce the school and see what resources the family might need. The Boys and Girls Club staff visits him at school, and along with the parent coordinator, facilitate enrollment in the after-school teens program and arranges the after school transportation.
The results for Gainesville have been remarkable. During a time when we had to do more with less people, we have increased our achievement, graduation rates, and decreased the discipline referrals and tribunals for students. It is important to note that this is not a program of which you can measure pre and post results; it is a way of working to ensure that students who have barriers to learning are helped systematically and coherently. A large part of our commitment to the work is to share with others. We welcome collaboration from any schools or districts who are seeking answers to the relentless problems that poverty present to a school.We all know that they are as devastating as a hurricane.

I can't figure out how Gainesville has enough personnel who can spend this kind of time with multiple students (because many, many of our students come to school with these types of problems) . Our teachers are strained to the breaking point, not only with classes but with "duties," so fitting in the time to meet, daily encourage, assemble teams, etc seems a foggy dream to me. I try to identify kids in trouble and go to bat for them, but it isn't widespread nor is it long-term. How do they do it?
May 29th, 2012
2:15 pm
catlady; they do it because they decided, top to bottom, that it was important. The whole system uses the plan. I'm with you on the frustration involved in trying to help when there isn't a sustainable system in place for helping individuals. It's not hard to do, but it takes a system-wide focus to make it sustainable.
May 29th, 2012

An intelligent, creative administrator. Few and far between.
May 29th, 2012

"I can't figure out how Gainesville has enough personnel who can spend this kind of time with multiple students "
"How do they do it?"
It takes a courageous leader; one who believes in total transparency. It takes a system work culture that is willing to take close to ten days of furloughs in order to save teacher's jobs. It takes distributive leadership; leaders taking on additional duties and responsibilities, and allowing teacher leaders to come to the forefront to lead. It is not an easy task by any means, but when you start with the "end in mind", it puts things into perspective. What are we really working so hard towards? Our goal is not only to get students from one grade level to the next, but it is to take students from Kindergarten to walking across that stage, and being ready for the next phase of life—-career ready!
Lastly as Ron F. stated – "it takes a system-wide focus to make it sustainable." That's why our system them is : ONE GAINESVILLE!
May 29th, 2012
8:23 pm
I am interested In seeing their results. Can they quantify them? This is very similar to what Dufoor and Eaker espouse in their work promoting Professional Learning Communities. Providing system wide safety nets for identified students before they begin to falter takes buy in from the top system administrators if it is going to be successful. I applaud them for working outside of conventional paradigms which only add more work for teachers and do not help students.

"For example, take the case of Anthony who struggled academically, was chronically late or absent from school, and was on probation for a drug-related charge through juvenile court……The teacher-mentor finds out what sports or extra-curricular interests that Anthony has and facilitates his participating."
I do not know much about today's politically correct, feel good teaching methods, but I do know that Anthony would not have played for my old ball coach. Bad grades would get you benched quicker than bad playing…
Reminds me of those car lot ads that say "Bad credit, no problem. We had a customer who just went through a bankruptcy and we were able to get him into a new Tahoe."

Lee: there's a lot more to it than just getting a felon on the football team. You have to learn how kids from poverty think and find the thing that hooks them, the thing that gets their interest, and use it as a carrot to dangle and help focus them. If we stop believing that we can find a way to help a kid, then we'll never get past the miserable graduation rates. Take a school in APS or Dekalb- if they truly focused on the specific needs of the kids instead of high publicity "programs" that any idiot could recite, then they might actually reach some of the multitude that continuously fail and end up dropping out. I've spent years doing this in my school, and it works with a lot of kids- enough to significantly improve their chances at graduation. But it takes time, a lot of commitment, and patience. I'm glad to see a system like Gainesville that is willing to step up and do something individually applicable that might just help kids. God knows we've seen enough money thrown around the metro area that resulted in nothing.

We have been doing something similar in Cobb for the past four years. The district received a grant for $8 million from the safe schools/healthy students federal program. We have been providing mental health services free of charge to students and families. There is numerous data to back up the success. Now that the funding is over, no one wants to find ways to continue this program – and it could be done without ever touching the school budget. The priority just isn't there.
May 30th, 2012
8:50 am
I think we might see more results like this if DCSS and APS were broken up into 6 or more systems. They are too large to provide this type of service.
May 30th, 2012
9:43 am
I attended a workshop where a representative from Gainesville City Schools (I think it was their grad coach) went into great detail about how they use data to identify and track students. It was impressive.

This is a great idea, but in order for it to work well, someone must use some common sense in what is expected of the classroom teacher. Teaching 25-35 students in each class, mentoring/tutoring those students, and spending quality time with the at-risk while attending meetings upon meeting on how to please all of the political factions' demands on politically correct teaching/mentoring/maintaining scores remains a teacher's nightmare.

GREENSBORO, N.C. — As the Greensboro Police Department awaits a consultant's report that will have a big impact on its future, it continues to struggle with a major problem.
For at least the past four years, the department's response times to its most urgent 911 calls have been far below its goal. And those times have gotten worse since 2000.

TFC Barry Meadows Receives Award
Date of News Release: 01/29/08
(FRANKFORT, Ky.) - Kentucky State Police honored three of its outstanding troopers who went above and beyond the call of duty to make the highways a safer place. The awards were titled "Excellence in Highway Safety" and were based upon the highest number of occupant protection, speed and driving under the influence (DUI) citations written in 2007. An additional award was presented to the Public Affairs Officer who recorded the highest number of community education events relative to highway safety.
KSP Commissioner Rodney Brewer presented the awards in a ceremony held at KSP headquarters on January 29, 2008.
"Traffic enforcement is paramount to this agency and has a direct impact on the highways by removing potential killers from the road. The troopers receiving awards today are to be commended for the lives they have helped to save," said Brewer.
KSP Trooper Chris Steward, from the Dry Ridge Post 6 received both the Speed and Occupant Protection Excellence in Highway Safety Award. Trooper Stewart wrote 4,466 speed citations and 1,144 occupant protection citations last year.
Dry Ridge Post Commander, Captain Mike Crawford said that Trooper Steward has decreased fatalities in his patrol area by 21 percent. He praised him for his dedication to saving lives on Kentucky's roadways.
"Trooper Steward is committed to reduction of traffic crashes and fatalities in his patrol area. Clearly, his dedication and number of enforcement contacts made a positive impression not only on those he encountered but also on the thousands of motorists that witnessed these efforts."
Trooper Chris Steward is an eight year veteran with KSP and serves at Post 6 Dry Ridge. During his service he has received the Commissioners Commendation. He is the son of Mike and Janet Steward of Burlington.
KSP Sergeant Steve Walker from London Post 11 received the Excellence in Highway Safety award for the highest number of DUI arrests in 2007. Sgt. Walker made 223 DUI arrests in his patrol area.
London Post Commander, Captain Jack Miniard commended Sgt. Walker for his work ethic and ability to mentor younger troopers by his example.
"Sergeant Steve Walker is unparalleled in his dedication to impaired driving enforcement. He is a twenty-two year Kentucky State Police veteran who continually strives to impact the lives of Kentuckians in a positive manner. He continues to educate and mentor other officers, and agencies, in impaired driving detection and safety," said Miniard.
Sgt. Walker currently serves Post 11 London and has also served at Richmond Post 7, Ashland Post 14 and Columbia Post 15. During his service he has received the Citation of Bravery, Meritorious Medal, two Commissioners Commendations and Trooper of the Year. He is married to Staci and they have four children, Stephen, Justin, Matthew and Katlyn.
KSP Trooper First Class Barry Meadows from Mayfield Post 1received the Excellence in Highway Safety Award for Education by hosting 451 community education events relative to highway safety issues.
Mayfield Post Commander, Captain William Marks said that TFC Meadows is a model for what community police should be.
"Most people think that one person can't make a difference. Barry Meadows shows that by his tireless effort toward the entire post community, one person really can make a difference," said Marks.
Trooper Meadows has served at the Mayfield Post for eighteen years and recently was transferred to the Governor's Executive Security detail. During his service, he has received the Commissioners Commendation and the KSP Citation for Meritorious Service. He is married to Kathy and they have three children, Travis, Taylor and Madeline.
Commissioner Brewer thanked all three troopers for their desire to save lives and make the Commonwealth safer for Kentuckians.
"We have a group of officers who go beyond what is normally expected of them and we want to show them how much we appreciate what they do. Their efforts have a direct impact on reducing fatalities in Kentucky. They make a real contribution to keeping roadways safer throughout the state," he said.
"The men and women who serve this agency everyday by patrolling our roadways made an incredible impact in 2007. State-wide, KSP troopers wrote 88,801 speed citations, 47,404 seat belt/restraint citations, made 8,255 DUI arrest and provided our communities with 3,035 educational safety events pertaining to highway safety. All of these troopers are to be commended," added Brewer.
Citizens can contribute to highway safety by reporting erratic drivers to the Kentucky State Police toll-free at 1-800-222-5555 (in the state of Kentucky only, does not work out of state). Callers will remain anonymous and should give a description of the vehicle, location, direction of travel and license number if possible.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

TOPPENISH, WA - Staff at the university unveiled their new, hands-on physician assistant training program, which will start this may.
This new accredited program will be the only one in central Washington and students who graduate from it will be able to work as P.A.s around the Pacific Northwest.
The program director, Linda Dale, said the industry is in need of more graduates ready to work.
"Bureau of Labor Statistics says that the P.A. education is growing at 38% between 2012 and 2022, and there are very few professions that grow at 38%," Dale said.
Students who finish will also be eligible to take the Certification of Physician Assistants board exam.
If they pass, they will be able to practice as P.A.s in any state and some foreign countries.

Some cities have a snowy reputation. Perhaps Denver, Minneapolis, Chicago and Boston spring to mind.
But do statistics back this up? What truly are America's snowiest major cities?
Using 30-year average annual snowfall data from NOAA's National Climatic Data Center, we've compiled the 20 snowiest major U.S. cities. These are cities with a population of at least 100,000, as of the latest U.S. census estimate.
We didn't rank cities based on record snowfall, either from one snowstorm or during one season, but rather which cities are persistently the snowiest year-in and year-out.
Madison snow stats:
- Record snowiest day: Dec. 3, 1990 (17.3 inches)
- Record snow depth: Jan. 28, 1979 (32 inches)
- Average snowiest month: December (13.5 inches)

Police say a Minneapolis man was walking home May 21 when he was blind-sided by a robber and pushed up against a parked car before his assailant took the victim's gun –- which he had a conceal and carry permit for -– and placed it against his head.
According to police, the robber struck near 31st Street East and 3rd Avenue, just blocks away from the victim's home. He demanded the victim turn over the rest of his valuables. The victim lost his pistol and wallet in the mugging.
The victim's arm was injured by the impact against the car, rendering him unable to defend himself.
"I don't think there's anything this guy could have done to prevent this," Sgt. Bill Palmer told FOX 9 News. "He did get blitzed. He was injured."
The victim's 911 call helped officers locate the suspect, who was walking near the crime scene. Though he tried to hide from officers, he was promptly arrested.
The victim's handgun was not recovered.
Police identified the suspect as Willie Merriweather, 34, of Minneapolis -- a convicted felon with numerous aliases. He is charged with aggravated robbery in the first degree for the May 21 robbery.
Merriweather is in custody at the Hennepin County Jail.
Though he didn't want to go on camera, FOX 9 News spoke with the victim, who said he's been carrying a gun for over a year but never saw the attack coming.
The 23-year-old said he wrestled with his attacker as he reached for his weapon, but was overpowered.
"You have to understand that the gun can be taken way from you, used against you, or used in another crime if it's taken away," said Palmer.
Still, police said even with an estimated 80,000 people licensed to carry a concealed weapon in the state, this is the first time they've heard of someone being robbed with their own weapon. They say it's a teaching moment.
On the flip side, Heather Martens, of Citizens for a Safer Minnesota, says the incident only confirms her group's suspicion about handguns.
"I think people who are very highly trained can use a gun properly and carry it with them properly. It's still -- for most people -- not a good idea," she said.
Martens says most people choose not to carry a gun because they realize it could be taken away and they are not trained in what to do during an attack.
Yet, the victim told FOX 9 News he still believes the ability to defend yourself is an important asset in an unexpected attack.
"It doesn't automatically make you safe," he said. "It gives you an opportunity to make a horrible, horrible situation slightly less horrible. It gives you a chance. It doesn't give you a magic certainty."

Majestic SEO appoint Receptional to oversee worldwide marketing expansion
Majestic SEO announces today a partnership with Receptional in a long term agreement to market the largest commercially available database map of links on the Internet.
Majestic SEO has developed the largest index of links on the Internet through a distributed search engine over a four year period and now boasts an index that is estimated to three times the size of Search giant Yahoo, with 697 billion urls spidered compared to an unofficial estimate of 200 billion urls indexed by Yahoo. Google is believed to have reached a trillion (1,000 billion) URLs.
Majestic SEO's database enables its customers to use the database to understand how web sites and affiliates link to competitors. The data is used to help understand how search engines rank one website above another and is also used for a variety of other competitor and market research tasks.
Receptional will work with Majestic SEO to develop agreements with both retail users and commercial users of its database. Receptional will also help to develop worldwide penetration of Majestic's services including the USA. In the partnership arrangement, Receptional's Dixon Jones will join Majestic SEO's founder, Alex Chudnovsky, on the board of Majestic SEO limited. The agreement is designed to develop the business dramatically over several years. A website redesign and commercially available API are two of the first steps in developing Majestic SEO's markets.

Leighton Baines is the talk of Tuesday's papers.
The views on this page are taken from the local and national media and do not necessarily reflect the views of Everton.
Leighton Baines' England chances are the talk of Tuesday's national newspapers, after it was confirmed yesterday evening that Ashley Cole will miss the World Cup qualifier against Montenegro.
The Everton left-back is set to start at Wembley on Friday evening and the Daily Express says that his inclusion in Roy Hodgson's team will 'add more potency to a side already brimming with attacking intent'.
Baines' performances have been described as 'consistently impressive' in the Times, while the Daily Mail have compared his statistics for this season against that of Cole's. The Blues defender comes out on top in the top passer, top tackler, top scorer, top crosser, most clearances and most creative categories.
Elsewhere, the Daily Express and Daily Telegraph report on the passing of former Everton player Mick Buckley. His death at the age of 59 was announced yesterday evening.
Tuesday's Independent includes a feature piece on how fans are having a greater influence on the decisions of football clubs. The article makes reference to how Everton's new crest was determined after a vote by supporters.
Locally, Gerard Deulofeu has told the Liverpool Echo that he will bide his time for a Premier League opportunity. The Spaniard has been utilised mainly from the substitutes' bench since arriving on loan from Barcelona in the summer.

Objective of the consultation
The Commission has commissioned work to collect information on the existing national regulations covering the fertiliser categories and how they are placed on national markets. The survey aims also at collecting information on economic indicators relating to the manufacture of fertilisers.

Background information
Regulation (EC) No 2003/2003 relating to fertilisers was adopted 8 years ago in line with the SLIM Initiative (Simpler Legislation for the Internal Market) to simplify the legal framework on fertilisers while reducing existing trade barriers and potential risks for public safety from the use of certain categories of fertilisers.
The current Fertilisers Regulation covers only a part of the mineral fertilisers that are sold in the European Union. The other types of fertilisers and fertilising materials are covered by national legislations.
Regulation (EC) No 764/2008 on mutual recognition was expected to solve some of the difficulties faced by the fertiliser industry regarding the trade of national fertilisers. However, some manufacturers and a majority of Member States have expressed concerns with regard to the application of the mutual recognition principle to fertilisers as it could lead to possible distortion of the market - local producers complying with more stringent national rules might not be able to compete with producers applying less strict national rules. This situation may also have a negative impact on the environment and public health. Administrative burden might additionally go up with the increasing number of requests for mutual recognition.
In addition, materials of waste origin are increasingly used to produce fertilisers. This calls for an extension of the harmonised system to all fertilisers: organic and mineral fertilisers, growing media, soil improvers and possibly bio-stimulants.
A recently published ex-post evaluation of Regulation (EC) No 2003/2003 confirmed the need to extent the scope of the current legislation to the categories of fertilisers mentioned above.
See: http://ec.europa.eu/enterprise/sectors/chemicals/files/fertilizers/final_report_2010_en.pdfHow to submit your contribution
The Commission invites all the actors of the fertiliser supply chain and all interested stakeholders to participate in the revision of the Fertiliser Regulation by responding to the on-line questionnaire which is available here: http://www.fertiliserregulationstudy.com
The confidentiality of your responses and statements is guaranteed in the sense that your organisation will be identified as having responded to the survey but none of your statements included in the study report will be related to their author. It is important to read the specific privacy statement attached to this consultation for information on how your personal data and contribution will be dealt with.
Results of consultation and next steps
The outcomes of the study will serve as a basis for the preparation of an impact assessment report (IAR) on options to harmonise the EU fertiliser market. The selected options will be assessed in terms of their achievement of the objectives (guarantee the safety of products and agronomic efficacy and reduce administrative burden for authorities and industry). This IAR will accompany a draft Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council relating to fertilisers.

They're all over the valley. Red light cameras and speed cameras catching traffic violators on the streets. They've been the source of controversy and anger. And now the valley company behind these cameras is rolling out new technology.
The system is free to school districts. The company makes its money by taking about 50 percent of the cost of the ticket, but they say the system basically pays for itself. It snaps pictures of any car passing the school bus stop arm.
It's the law. Drivers must stop when school bus stop arm start flashing. But countless cars go around the sign anyway. Now Redflex, the Phoenix-based company behind the red light cameras, wants to catch drivers ignoring the bus stop signs with these cameras mounted onto school buses- - snapping pictures of violators and issuing costly tickets.
"This particular product offering has widespread social and political acceptance," says Thomas O'Connor, president of "Student Guardian" at Redflex.
The system is already in nine states -- potentially covering nearly 100,000 school buses. But it's not in Arizona. Lawmakers would first have to pass legislation here allowing the system -- and that means more cameras monitoring cars on the streets.
"That would not be a good idea not a good idea at all, that's way too much," says Agnes Mbano.
The cameras on either side of this device are designed to focus in on the license plate. What the cameras don't get is the driver behind the wheel.
"Of those nine states that have enabled legislation around school bus passings, they have created language that says the registered owner is the responsible party," O'Connor says.
If the owner wasn't the one driving, they can put the blame on the correct person. Still, if no one else takes responsibility, it's like a parking ticket. The citation goes to the registered owner.
"I have a 5-year-old daughter. I think that's a pretty good idea actually, will I probably get caught in it? There's a small possibility," says parent Lincoln Green.
"The goal would be to have every single bus outfitted long term but that's going to take a heck of a long time," says O'Connor.
Again there aren't any of these school bus cameras in Arizona. The company does say however they are working with some districts in Arizona on pilot programs -- but they won't say at this time who they are working with.

Man falls into water, pulled out by passersby
Officers were dispatched to a CPR in progress aid call to the Semiahmoo Marina last Saturday, after a man apparently slipped and fell into the water.
According to police reports, a neighbor on a nearby vessel saw the person and pulled him from the water and started CPR. The victim was transported to St. Joseph�s Hospital.
St. Joseph�s Hospital would not comment on the status of the victim, provide his name, or acknowledge he was a patient, because of new federal privacy regulations allowing the hospital to refuse to release patient information.
Fire chief Jim Rutherford said the victim was transported to the hospital with a pulse, and had a pulse at the hospital.
Blaine police chief Mike Haslip said people on nearby boats in Semiahmoo Marina noticed the owner of the sailboat at slip A10 working by himself cleaning the deck of his boat. �About 10 minutes later he was found in the water unconscious beside the boat,� he said. �It appeared that the victim had been cleaning his boat while barefoot, and had slipped over the side, striking his head on the dock and falling unconscious into the water.�
Passersby pulled him onto the dock and began CPR, Haslip stated, and police officers and medic personnel soon responded to the call for assistance, and continued life saving efforts.
�At this time it is not known if the victim succumbed to his injuries,� Haslip said.
Fellow boaters at the marina whom officers interviewed were very saddened at the accident, Haslip said.
�They described the victim as a role model boater, as he was helpful to the other marina tenants and kept his own boat in immaculate condition,� he said.
As of press time, the man�s status was still unknown.

Galifianakis: I didn't wear a shirt because I thought, you know, that would make you feel more comfortable.
After researching various avant-garde agrarian adventures such as black truffle cultivation and saffron, I chanced upon a property with an existing black truffle orchard in the tiny town of Moravian Falls, which is located in Wilkes County.
I feel that a lot of racial sketches that I write should have a picture of me in the bottom left-hand corner smiling with thumbs up, saying, "Listen, it's okay! A black guy wrote this!"
I can usually find something negative to say about most people, but my friend Suzanne Krull Spruyt was that rare human who was loved and adored by ...
Your call: Obama sitting "Between Two Ferns"? Or Republicans standing for...? ...
I am a proud American and passionate patriot -- but I am, first and foremost, a comedian's daughter. So I was triply thrilled to see President Obama make a special appearance this week on Zack Galifianakis' white-hot web series, "Between Two Ferns," on Funny or Die.
In today's day and age the general public at large cannot be won over by just a paid message from a beloved celebrity figure. Those days are over. That is no longer a guarantee alone to capture our attention. We get the game.
Yes, it's true: the times they are a-changin'. It's also time to get some new journalists in the White House Q&A room. Immediately.
Tim Heidecker and Eric Wareheim of superstar comedy duo, Tim & Eric, wreaked havoc all over our studio, and we loved every second of it. While...
In 1899, theatre critic Edwin Royle wrote, "Vaudeville may be a kind of lunch-counter art, but then art is so vague and lunch is so real." Fast forward to 2013 where vaudeville is very much alive and well in Madonnalogues.
While we had Jack Black in the studio to chat about his new web series, "Ghost Ghirls," we had to ask about his upcoming Festival Supreme show at ...
There was nothing particularly special about that room, but Vance and Robert transformed it into a magical place every Tuesday night at 8 p.m. by declaring it a space where a certain type of oddball could reveal themselves to like-minded others and attempt to live out their dreams together -- or go down in flames trying.
With great respect for the trilogy's swan song, I decided a top ten list was in order. So here it is: The Top Ten Reasons to go see The Hangover III.
I heartily endorse the original Hangover. Now we've got Part III. And yes, I recognize that the Roman numeral is meant as a joke -- but I have to point out that it's about as funny as many of the gags in this uneven and busy film.
Now we have The Hangover 3 -- the end of the so-called Wolfpack Trilogy. The fact that it's the last is the only good thing I have to say about this truly awful, shockingly unfunny movie.
Hangover 3 is predictable and not too funny except for scenes between Melissa McCarthy and Zach Galifianakis.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) -- A Humane Society chapter in southeastern Kentucky says it is locked in a dispute with a coal company that wants to shoo a pack of wild horses off a former surface mining site.
Harlan County Humane Society President Marcella Chadwick says Sequoia Energy wants the horses moved off the land, but she says they should stay. She says there are about 80 to 100, and the animals have been in the area for generations.
Chadwick says Sequoia is planting vegetation at the site as part of the former mine's reclamation. Sequoia had contacted the Humane Society for help moving the horses, which were eating the plantings.
A message left with Sequoia's parent company, Southern Coal Corp. of Roanoke, Va., was not returned early Tuesday afternoon.

Key loses 100 businesses in the last five years
Date: January 27, 2010
by: Kurt Schultheis | City Editor
Planning and Zoning Board member Walter Hackett surprised his board members Tuesday, Jan. 19 with a list of 102 businesses on the island that have closed in the last five years.
"It's alarming," said Hackett at the board's regular meeting at Town Hall. "Keeping Longboat, Longboat is becoming quite a challenge."
Hackett brought to the board's attention that out of the 102 businesses lost, 15 restaurants and 12 medical services have closed in the last five years.
Wrote Hackett in a memo he distributed to the board and the Town Commission: "Longboat Key is rapidly changing. Service stations, restaurants and other businesses are closing and tourist units are converting to residential. If no action is taken in response to these changes, we will have a very dysfunctional island in which to live."
Hackett said the town "can plan and support a course of prosperity."
Below is the list of businesses, as presented by Hackett, that have closed in the last five years.

- The raw statistics are a little misleading. Yes, perhaps 102 businesses have closed. But some new businesses have replaced some of those that have closed. For example, Maureen's closed but Cafe on the Bay took its place. Cafe on the Bay closed but Lazy Lobster took its place. Orange Blossom closed but several restaurants have succeeded it, including the Re Federico currently there. Walter's points are well made overall but some qualifications are needed to bring things into perspective. Overall he's right on. We need reinvestment in business as an island community. Let the Key Cub expansion happen!

- and if the LBK expansion is rejected there will be more.

Mario Tennis for Wii and 3DS
The Mushroom Kingdom welcomes another sport to its lineup in the Nintendo 64 smash Mario Tennis. In addition to the bright graphics and intuitive, but incredibly tight, controls that all Mario games are known for, a cast of 16 Nintendo characters (including the first introduction of Waluigi) is ready to take to the court. Along with the ability to unnerve an opponent by varying shots and precisely target their destination, each character has specific attributes in categories such as speed, power and control, all of which combine to offer multiple play styles to choose from. A variety of game modes ranging from a standard tournament to the crazy, item-filled Bowser Stage will keep you – and up to three of your friends – running around the court for quite some time. Whether trying to unlock all the secrets in single-player mode or challenging friends with some intense fun in multiplayer mode, this is a game that definitely holds its serve.

The Wellington Phoenix have won for the first time in over a month.
The Phoenix have edged the Perth Glory 1-0 in their A-League match at Eden Park, thanks to a headed goal from Jeremy Brockie in the 41st minute.
Their fifth win of the season means Wellington swap places with Perth on the competition ladder, moving up to ninth, while the Glory are now bottom.
Phoenix defender Ben Sigmund picked up a yellow card, his fifth of the season, meaning he'll miss Thursday's match against the Central Coast Mariners.

These are quotes tagged with "kisses-and-kissing".Add to my favourites Get these quotes on a PDF
A kiss, when all is said, what is it? A rosy dot placed on the I in loving; Tis a secret told to the mouth instead of to the ear.
A kiss can be a comma, a question mark or an exclamation point. That's basic spelling that every woman ought to know.
The sound of a kiss is not so loud as that of a cannon, but its echo lasts a great deal longer.

These mittens -- made from old sweaters that have been "felted" (shrunken into a dense, nonraveling material) -- are soft, toasty and very colorful.
If you don't have any old wool sweaters, check at a local thrift shop (they rarely charge more than two or three dollars per sweater). Keep an eye out for old Fair Isles; the intricate patterns shrink into pretty designs.
Save any leftover felt to make purses, eyeglass cases, doll clothes, or even a fuzzy collar for your dog.
Wash the sweater in the hot cycle of your washer three or four times with regular detergent. Then pop the sweater into the drier for about 45 minutes, or until it shrinks and becomes feltlike in texture. Certain sweaters shrink better than others, and the drying time will vary depending on the sweater's thickness.
To make a mitten template, trace around one of your (or your child's) mittens, leaving an extra inch or so around the edge for sewing. Pin the template onto the felted fabric, then cut out four matching mitten shapes.
Pin two of the mitten sides together. Using a contrasting color of yarn, stitch around the edges (a blanket stitch, as used here, looks especially nice).

There's something going on at the Arizona state Capitol that not everybody knows about.
Dozens of bills have been rejected, then replaced with something that has nothing to do with the original proposal.
"Strike everything" bills keep piling up at the state Capitol.
Some critics call the striker bills "political magic." Lawmakers show the public one thing, then when no one is really paying attention, they show them something else.
When a bill is going nowhere, a lawmaker can propose an amendment that strikes out all the existing language and replaces it with something completely different.
SB 1062 went from a boating law to a proposal on behavioral health. SB 1003 went from agricultural regulations to restrictions on early ballots, and HB 2269 went from a liquor supplier law to a study on the use of drones.
Rep. Debbie McCune Davis, D-Phoenix, said the striker bills are a way to avoid public hearings while raising serious questions about transparency at the state Capitol.
"It does raise questions when you tell somebody all of a sudden that bill you were following isn't the bill anymore. Now you have to track another bill," Davis said.
CBS 5 News uncovered more than 75 striker bills approved so far with hundreds more expected to pop up in the next few weeks.
Rep. John Kavanaugh, R-Fountain Hills, sponsored a bill to put up security barriers around the state Capitol. The bill is now about banning live animal prizes at local fairs.
"Strikers are simply a tool that can be used for good or bad. I can take a knife, I can cut a steak, or I can take a knife and stab somebody with it," Kavanaugh said.
CBS 5 News asked political insider and former state lawmaker Stan Barnes his take on striker bills.
He insists they are not that secretive and are actually a useful tool to speed up the legislative process.
"They're not nefarious, not sneaky, not used for bad purposes," Barnes said.
"They are no more than vehicles which to cause votes to happen on certain issues, and there's nothing wrong with that," Barnes said.
