The Division of Program Monitoring and Interventions supports the state's goals for public education by reviewing, evaluating, monitoring, and intervening with school districts and campuses to ensure excellence in education for all students. The major areas of responsibility are related to state and federal accountability monitoring and interventions; program monitoring and interventions for the bilingual education/English as a second language, career and technical education, No Child Left Behind, and special education program areas; and data validation monitoring.
Additionally, the division supports activities related to the assignment of accreditation statuses to school districts, oversees and supports required interventions for struggling schools, and conducts special accreditation investigations. An on-site investigation may be conducted to address concerns related to documented substantial, imminent, or ongoing risks as reflected in current and/or longitudinal local education agency (LEA) data. The On-site Investigations Procedures Manual (PDF, 54 KB) provides information and guidance to LEAs receiving an on-site investigation. The division also performs certain monitoring and oversight responsibilities, as required by the United States Department of Education Office for Civil Rights.
A major responsibility of the division is to implement the requirements of Texas Education Code (TEC), Chapter 39, Subchapter E, Accreditation Interventions and Sanctions. The division develops and implements interventions and sanctions for districts and campuses rated academically unacceptable in the state's Accountability Rating System. The division also implements interventions for those campuses that are rated acceptable but that would not satisfy performance standards if the accountability standards for the subsequent year were applied.
The division uses performance data from Performance Reporting to identify, for accountability monitoring intervention, those districts and campuses with performance concerns.
The division implements program monitoring and intervention requirements in the areas of bilingual education/English as a second language, career and technical education, No Child Left Behind (federal Title programs), and special education. This occurs within the context of the performance-based monitoring (PBM) strategies being implemented by the agency. When an LEA is assigned a stage of intervention for more than one program area, including BE/ESL, CTE, NCLB, Special Education, and Residential Facilities (RF), the LEA will be required to engage in integrated intervention activities.
Some underlying strategies of the PBM system include a shift away from process to results (i.e. program effectiveness and student performance), a strong emphasis on data integrity, a focus on a coordinated approach to agency monitoring, and more effective of sanctions and interventions.
Data Validation Monitoring (DVM) is another component of the PBM system. Its function is to monitor the accuracy of data submitted by school districts and used in the state's accountability rating and performance-based monitoring (PBM) systems, including leaver/dropout data, school discipline data, and student assessment data. Data validation responsibilities include review and follow-up with districts that have been identified for potential data inaccuracies, data anomalies, or data irregularities.
Additionally, Data Validation and Verification (DVV) on-site reviews are conducted to validate the implementation of the PBM system and the accuracy of data used in the analysis. If noncompliance, student performance, or program effectiveness concerns are identified during the visit, the LEA will be required to undertake actions to address identified areas of concern. If inaccurate data reporting of findings is determined through the TEA validation and verification processes, the LEA may be subject to additional sanctions and interventions.
Important information about monitoring and interventions activities for LEAs as well as updates to the Program Monitoring and Interventions (PMI) website and ISAM will be shared through emails to subscribers to govDELIVERY. Subscribe to TEA updates on this topic.

Taka Hayashi x Vault by Vans – Fall 2013 Releases
August 21st, 2013 by Patrick Johnson | 2 comments
There's always something to look forward to when long-time designer Taka Hayashi and Vans Vault team up for their collaborations. His ninth installment into footwear takes the iconic Vans Half Cab and dresses them in a batik-inspired floral print with an homage to 90s street fashion. As for the TH Court HI LX, Taka re-imagines the Vans Sk8-Hi in the form of a vintage athletic sneaker with premium construction that features deluxe suede and canvas. Look below for more images and be on the lookout for this collaboration to hit selected Vans retailers this September.
The black & yellow half cab's are dope. Should be picking those up forsure.
Jesus, this puts most collabs this year to shame!

The new Crow's Peak chairlift is OPEN, providing skiers & riders with lift-serviced access to the previously hike-to terrain of Strawberry Fields and some of the finest tree skiing in the region. The lift spans 1,000 vertical feet over advanced-intermediate and expert terrain, including steeps, chutes, glades, and 2 new top-to-bottom groomer runs that will be nothing short of awesome.
For a video on the tower installation, click here.
While most the natural terrain was in fact open to hikers, skiers had to make a right turn very early in order to make the traverse back to Disney. Now, it's true fall line, top to bottom vertical for much more terrain and way more vertical.
Working in close conjunction with the US Forest Service to improve sustainability for the White Spruce, this newly gladed skiing is going to be incredible, truly great turns through perfectly spaced stands.
The fixed-grip triple is protected from the elements so it will run on inclement weather days, and the general ops plan is to have this lift spinning daily at 9:00 am (weather & conditions permitting, obviously). Every attention was paid toward minimal environmental impact during install, including hiking in daily, use of a spider hoe directly on the lift line, and heli-assist for minimal ground impact overall.
A HUGE addition for Sugar Bowl skiers & riders and we can't wait to ride it with you this season...see you up here soon!

The Ultimate Life Credo
At The Ultimate Life™, they do not manufacture nor do they suggest using most or all of their products to create more profit . . . far from it. They do it because they believe it is the only way to achieve the highest level of well-being. The key is the way their products work together synergistically. Also, they have found no one is willing to manufacture products with the unusually high standards they have created. Don't forget, everything they make is guaranteed and risk-free.
The Ultimate Life Story
In 1981, Sam Gerard moved to Santa Barbara, California, where he started & ran a business, totally unrelated to the health industry. This was when he had an epiphany: "My body is the only shell I'll occupy, so I will never take it for granted". So he decided to live up to his perfectionism, & became obsessed with eating perfectly. Utilizing the knowledge he'd acquired from pre-med courses, he immersed himself in researching & studying the nutritional & ecological aspects of the ideal human diet, based upon clinical HUMAN studies worldwide, as well as personal experience, made even more relevant due to his extremely sensitive skin & digestive system.
This led to the following discovery: The ultimate sources of nourishment for the human body do not come in the form of synthetic pills & powders, cooked or processed foods, or any animal product in any form. They come in the form of raw &/or properly sprouted, preferably freeze-dried & certified organic PLANT foods, which have their nutrients & enzymes intact, as they do in nature.
However, since most of us often live in an unnaturally stressful environment, & free radicals are the primary cause of aging & diseases, it's also important to supplement our diets with concentrated anti-oxidants derived from plants, in proper quantities. In most cases (healthy humans under 40), this would eliminate the need for supplementation virtually entirely.
By now Sam had become a nutritional consultant, while he spent 4 hours daily creating, preparing his intricate & ultra-healthy meals. However, in spite of his overall well-being reaching new peaks, being an efficiency fanatic, he started researching a more efficient way of nourishing himself, without compromising his standards.
He discovered many "superfoods" were the answer, some of which were the ultimate. But when he looked for a product that contained nothing but those ultimate ingredients, there was nothing...a fact that holds true to this day. Everything had their token 1 or 2 good, or maybe even great ingredients, with the rest being virtually worthless fillers.
This is when Sam decided to make his own concoction, with nothing but the ultimate. Period.
After numerous formulations, he found the ultimate, which surpassed every expectation. When those around him wanted it as well...then started telling everyone about 'The Ultimate Powder', he renamed it The Ultimate Meal, trademarked the name, had it packaged professionally, & started to make it available to the general public as well. It was 1982, & the response was unbelievable, followed by exponential growth.
As the years went by & new information & better ingredients became available, Sam continued improving The Ultimate Meal & called them Evolutions. Then, again due to their lack of existence, he created & formulated The Ultimate FloraZyme, then The Ultimate Defense, & finally The Ultimate Blue-Green, all of which go through their own evolutions. This is why ALL our products are the ultimate they can possibly be at any given time.
THE ULTIMATE TEST: On November 28th, 1988, Sam had an opportunity to put his program to the ultimate test when he was struck, then run over by a truck, while crossing the street as a pedestrian. He suffered numerous injuries, the worst being his left femur, which was crushed into 3 pieces, one of which stuck out of his skin.
PROGNOSIS: Sam was told he would have a limp, shooting pains, & rheumatoid arthritis, plus need a cane, for the rest of his life. He was 30.
However, none of it came true. With the help of Tai-Chi & his ultimate vegan diet, which included The Ultimate Meal (their other products came later) with the newly-added Horsetail herb (which he'd just discovered in his quest to prove all the "experts" wrong), he exceeded every prognosis & expectation by healing almost completely, and at record speed. The results were so undeniable & spectacular, that the orthopedic surgeon started prescribing it to his patients.
By the early nineties, in order to meet the demand for The Ultimate Meal by health care practitioners & health food stores (who'd heard about it from their patrons), Sam stopped consulting, & The Ultimate Life became the primary focus of his life.
Take 3 Defenses with every regular meal.
Take only 2 Defenses if and when taking it with The Ultimate Meal.

After covering weighty issues like death, love, religion and spam javelins, 'The King of Edinburgh' (6 Music) is in a frivolous mood with this show about daftness, whether the term cool comedian is an oxymoron, bouncing joyously on the sofa and how Herring's whole career is a failed attempt to top a piece of visual slapstick comedy he came up with at 16. Can he revisit the joke thirty years on or will it smash his old bones?
A new play by Richard Herring. American journalist EM Halliday visits the aged Russian Prince and conspirator in the murder of Rasputin, Felix Yusupov, improbably still alive in 1967. The former richest man in Russia, now reduced to making money from his tall tale, is haunted by the Mad Monk, who even 50 years on refuses to die. Will Yusupov finally reveal the truth? 'I don't know of an instance in modern history where so many reputable as well as disreputable historians have solemnly repeated such a patently improbable story as if it were gospel' (EM Halliday). You'll believe a monk can't die!
Having already side-stepped the restrictions of commissioners, producers and censors in his ground-breaking and award winning podcasts, Richard Herring is making the ambitious move to make his own filmed stand-up series.
Filmed monthly at the Leicester Square Theatre in London, each episode will tackle one of the big questions of life: Is there a God? What happens to us when we die? What is love, anyway? Why are we here? Is there really good and evil?
The Chorlte and Sony Award winning (bronze is 3 times better than gold, right?) podcast where Richard interviews some of the biggest names in comedy. Availabel as free audio on iTunes and the British Comedy Guide or visit Go Faster Stripe's brand new video podcast download section, where you can buy video versions of the show.You can buy podcasts individually, or get a series pass to download all the episodes of series 4 and 5.
It's an object of shame and pride; it can inspire laughter and fear; it's a symbol of power, yet it's incredibly fragile and weak; it can be a pound of flesh or an ounce of winkles, it can be used to express both love and hate; it creates life, it can condemn us to death... and it can do wees as well.Extras on this double disc spectacular include the long awaited Me1 vs Me2 snooker rematch, two audio versions of Talking Cock from its first outing in 2003, several literal interpretations of where men have put their cocks in the name of pleasure and much more.
Here's the second series of the a Fist 'o' Fun for you all. And you can finally answer the questions that have plagued mankind for years. Was this the series that suffered from being hastily written and having its budget cut by a third? Or was it the better series as our heroes are more comfortable on screen, and have refined their ideas?
Whatever way you look at it, this is the series that has a special place in the nation's heart as it features the moon on a stick, Rod Hull and of course Ian News.
It feels like it's all been building up to this - as you know, we've spent the last few years filming the best comedians that are currently working. But did you know that we've been squirrelling the money away, so that we can present this - a four disc set of Fist of Fun series 1.
We've got the TV series of course, but we've also got you a lot more...

P: Hops and tabacco, a little bitter

Still, this was very good stuff. Some bitter elements that stand out against the predominantly sweet flavor profiles of the VVOFs. On its own, would probably be a very different experience.

Frisco, TX (Sports Network) - The Southland Conference has imposed a half-game suspension on Central Arkansas safety Jestin Love for an illegal hit.
Under NCAA rules, Love was suspended for targeting and initiating contact to the head or neck area of an opposing player during Central Arkansas's win against Sam Houston State last Saturday in Conway, Ark.
Love will sit out the first half of UCA's game at Stephen F. Austin on Saturday.
Conferences are required to automatically review video of unnecessary roughness acts that target the head or neck to determine if additional sanctions are necessary, regardless of officials calling a penalty at the time.
Central Arkansas (3-1) is ranked 16th in The Sports Network FCS Top 25.

The City's Legislative Priorities
Every year, the City of Newport News submits a list of legislative priorities to the Virginia General Assembly to inform our State governing body of the issues that are most important to our City. The priorities set forth by the City can address a variety of issues under the State's control such as funding for locally administered State programs, changes to the Code of Virginia or Virginia Constitution, or City Charter changes. While all of the issues included in the legislative package are important, the items I will discuss in this article stand out in my mind as particularly significant.
|The Virginia State Capitol Building in Richmond.
Require pawnbrokers to photograph items, identification, and persons involved in transactions. Recovering stolen property can be an extremely difficult task for law enforcement agencies across the country. The process becomes more complicated when stolen goods are unknowingly bought or sold at legitimate pawn businesses. The City is asking the General Assembly to amend the law such that pawnbrokers will be required to photograph all pawned/sold items, the person selling the goods, and the identification card used for the transaction.Current law requires that pawn shops document the information on the seller's ID and a description of the merchandise. The change the City is requesting will make it much easier to find and identify stolen goods and the person who sold, and may have stolen them.
Define the City's boundary to extend to the center line of any body of water located between it and another jurisdiction. Large bodies of water are a hallmark of the Hampton Roads region. Most of these waterways traverse several cities and counties, and it is sometimes unclear which locality is responsible for enforcing boating regulations, conducting water rescue operations, or providing for other public safety concerns. Our Charter defines the City's boundary as extending to the "mean low water mark," a description which is somewhat difficult to determine and can raise issues when emergency situations require prompt action. The City is requesting that our Charter be modified by the General Assembly to define our boundary as extending to the center line of any body of water located between us and another jurisdiction. By moving to a more easily identifiable boundary, we are better able to ensure the safety of residents and visitors.
Oppose further funding reductions in State Aid to Public Libraries. The ongoing economic downturn has resulted in shrinking budgets in most organizations, public and private. In the public sector, "non-essential" government services are the first to be reduced and usually suffer more substantial cuts than other services. While the City has not reduced library funding more so than it has other departments, the State has made substantial reductions in the support it provides for public libraries. As you know, I feel that libraries are a very important part of our community, support our educational system, and represent an investment in our future. Given the continued financial challenges we face at the State and local levels, Newport News has simply requested that the Commonwealth make no further funding cuts to public libraries. We want our libraries to be able to provide a high level of service to the residents of Newport News and throughout Virginia.
The Commonwealth must assume financial responsibility for inter-city passenger rail if Federal funding is reduced or eliminated. Travelling in Hampton Roads can often be a frustrating and difficult task. With congested roadways posing an ever-present challenge to commuters, alternative modes of transportation are a necessary component to ensure the future economic vitality of the region. Although the Federal government has historically helped to fund the creation and operation of inter-city and passenger rail lines; that funding is in peril as Congress works to try to reduce Federal spending and control ballooning national debt. Because an efficient, reliable transportation system is critical for the continued growth and prosperity of the Commonwealth, our City is requesting that the State commit to long-term financial support for inter-city and passenger rail should Federal funding be reduced or eliminated.
While the City has targeted a handful of issues that it feels are the most essential to Newport News, it is important to understand that the General Assembly has a substantial influence over municipalities in a multitude of areas, not the least of which are financial. There are two major ways the Commonwealth can impact the operating budget of localities—imposing unfunded mandates, and reducing/eliminating the aid it provides to local governments. If either of these were to occur, there would be a substantial negative impact on the ability of our City to operate at its current level. As such, Council has stressed to our State representatives the importance of ensuring that neither of these situations occur.

A Tribute to Excellence
If you have an opportunity to meet someone who has truly had an impact on history, it is an occasion that one does not forget. At a Celebration of Achievement on Saturday, October 29, at the Carver Memorial Presbyterian Church, I had a memorable experience when I was given the opportunity to honor Ms. Katherine Johnson.
|Ms. Johnson and I pictured after the Celebration of Achievement ceremony.
Ms. Johnson, a longtime Peninsula resident, worked for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) for 33 years as a research mathematician and physicist. During that time, she helped to develop and solve complex mathematic calculations which determined the flight trajectories for our nation's most historical space expeditions. In 1953, Ms. Johnson began her career in a pool of female mathematicians (whom she affectionately refers to as "computers who wore skirts"), but quickly earned a place working on a flight research team, alongside her all-male colleagues. Over her career, she hand-calculated the flight paths for Alan Shepard's first manned space flight in 1961, the first successful orbit of the earth by John Glenn in 1962, and the most significant space expedition of all time, when Neil Armstrong became the first man to walk on the moon in 1969. Additionally, Ms. Johnson also authored or co-authored over 21 technical publications for NASA during her 33-year tenure, all while raising her three daughters.
Ms. Johnson, now 93, has been nationally recognized for her contributions to our country's space program, but on October 29th it was Newport News' turn to celebrate her lifelong achievements. I was fortunate enough to take part in the commemorative program, which gave accounts not only of her professional contributions, but also her service to the community—both of which are extraordinary. I would like to thank Carver Memorial Presbyterian Church for hosting this wonderful event, and most importantly, I would like to thank Ms. Johnson for her lifetime of service to our region and our nation.
Recent Community Events
As a part of this publication, I like to share information about community events that are of particular importance to our City and some of those in which I am able to take part. The three events discussed in this article are all significant to Newport News in that they all served to improve upon the lives of our citizens.
|These are some of the local student band members who performed at the Community Family Day
On November 5, 2011, the Newport News Parent Educators' Group (P.E.G.) held its third annual "Community Family Day" at the South Morrison Family Education Center in Newport News. P.E.G., a part of the Keeping Our Kids Safe initiative, hosted the event to promote positive parenting and childhood development, while emphasizing ways to protect youth from being involved in or victims of violence. The event had 67 participating community organizations which provided parents and children with important information and held interactive activities (including everything from Zumba demonstrations to diabetic screenings). This was an exciting, informative, and energy-filled event that I look forward to being a part of in the years to come.
Every year, communities across the United States unite in an effort to combat the debilitating and currently incurable disease of Alzheimer's. The Alzheimer's Association Walk to End Alzheimer's helps to raise money and awareness through fundraising campaigns and organized walks in over 600 communities nationwide. The Peninsula's 2011 Walk to End Alzheimer's was held on Saturday, October 22, at Port Warwick. The fund-raising effort had 41 local business sponsors and 101 teams (comprised of 1,004 registered participants) who raised $158,000 for Alzheimer's research and education. Events like this are extremely important in helping to find a cure for this devastating disease, which affects millions of Americans every year.

An Achievable Dream (AAD) is a groundbreaking partnership between Newport News Public Schools, the City, and the local business community. The year-round, extended hour program helps children of poverty achieve their academic and career goals through a disciplined academic environment from kindergarten all the way through 12th grade. To help raise funds for this life-changing program, AAD holds an annual fund-raising event, An Achievable Dream Tennis Ball Gala. This year's event was extremely well attended, with over 800 people helping to raise funds for the continued success of the program. To help raise money, the Gala had both a silent and live auction (which included nine cars), as well as a raffle. This is always an extremely enjoyable event and one that is certainly a worthwhile endeavor.

Big Cinemas Manhattan
239 East 59th Street,
New York,
6 people favorited this theater
The 59th Street East Cinema, originally called the D.W. Griffith Theatre, was an art house theater located in midtown Manhattan. It belonged to a cluster of single, twin, and triplex movie theaters; all of which were within two blocks of each other.
One of many subterranean venues around the city, this single screen theater was reached through a small entrance that originates on 59th Street. The entrance continued past a modest concession area and then ended at a staircase, descending to theater level.
In 2000, the theater was one of the few theaters to show a director's cut of Luc Besson's "The Big Blue".
The theater closed in late-2003, but reopened in July of 2004 as the 300-seat ImaginAsian Theatre, featuring first-run Asian films, live events, satellite-fed broadcasts (such as sporting events), and exhibitions. The theater not only offers the traditional popcorn, but has a cafe serving Asian snacks, beverages, as well as internet access. The theater's first offering was hosting the 27th Asian-American International Film Festival.
By 2010, it had been renamed Big Cinemas Manhattan, and was operated by Phoenix Big Cinemas. It was closed in January 2014.

Amazing that this cinema has managed to remain open in a part of Manhattan that used to be a movie-goers destination w/ all the cinemas that were in the area. Now it is this and the Cinema 1,2,3 around the corner. I used to attend when it was called "ImaginAsian" but there was never many people in attendance when I went, so I wasn't surprised when they pulled the plug. I haven't been there since it became Big Cinemas and began featuring, for the most part, Bollywood fare.
Walked by this cinema last night and noticed it was closed, as per its blank marquee, Big Cinemas signage painted black and sign posted on one of the main theatre entry doors. Too soon to tell if another operator might take over or if a retail conversion is next.
On another note, Midtown East now has more physically vacant screens – this one, the three at 64th & 2nd, and the six at 1st & 62nd – than it does operating ones (the three at the Cinema 1, 2 & 3 and the two at the Beekman).
City Cinemas should take it over and make it Cinema 4
This was the Cine Malibu, then the D.W. Griffith, then the 59th St. East under Cineplex Odeon, then the Big Manhattan…interesting evolution from soft porn to art house to second run showcase to first run to Bollywood… Flew the flags of Rugoff/Cinema 5/City Cinemas/Walter Reade/Cineplex Odeon before Big…Not to sniff at first run engagements of pictures like Steve McQueen's Le Mans, Jaws 2, Connery/Hoffman & Broderick in Family Business A shame if City couldn't find value as a second run spillover house between the Cinema ½/3 and Beekman in the now woefully underscreened UES
All Big cinemas in the NY market are close. They were dumb enough to play bollywood flicks and thus limit its audience. I wont be suprised how much their theaters were rundown as they put zero dollars.
I was hoping to check out the theatre due to it's history but was not interested in the films they showed. I would put it's chances of finding new owners as slim to none. It is just not financially viable to operate a single screen movie house with no stadium seating on the UES or anywhere. In the old days it would have become a revival house, a showcase for foreign films or a discount second run location.
If City Cinemas (who used to operate this) or another operator who could get good product came here they might make a go of it. Even though the days of the single screen are over, the neighborhood is painfully under screened. I ran this theatre many eons ago and hate to see it close.
Garth – Isn't it really about product rather than seating? There are two small single screen theaters on Long Island which do quite well exhibiting several different films each day for several days rotating the times shown.
The East side used to be a BOOMING movie area. Other then the 3 films playing at Cinema 1-2-3 couldn't this theatre have its pick of releases?
Anything going on here? I keep hoping it reopens hate to see it closed

Real average weekly earnings fell by 0.5 percent from July 2006 to August 2006 after seasonal adjustment.
A 0.3-percent decline in average weekly hours and a 0.4-percent increase in the Consumer Prices Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W) were partially offset by a 0.1-percent rise in average hourly earnings.
Average weekly earnings rose by 4.2 percent, seasonally adjusted, from August 2005 to August 2006. After deflation by the CPI-W, average weekly earnings increased by 0.3 percent.
These earnings data are from the Current Employment Statistics Program. These data are for production and nonsupervisory workers in private nonfarm establishments.

|GRB110721A was observed by the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope using its two instruments the Large Area Telescope (LAT) and the Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM). The burst consisted of one major emission episode which lasted for ~24.5 seconds (in the GBM) and had a peak flux of 5.7\pm0.2 x 10^{-5} erg/s/cm^2. The time-resolved emission spectrum is best modeled with a combination of a Band function and a blackbody spectrum. The peak energy of the Band component was initially 15\pm2 MeV, which is the highest value ever detected in a GRB. This measurement was made possible by combining GBM/BGO data with LAT Low Energy Events to achieve continuous 10--100 MeV coverage. The peak energy later decreased as a power law in time with an index of -1.89\pm0.10. The temperature of the blackbody component also decreased, starting from ~80 keV, and the decay showed a significant break after ~2 seconds. The spectrum provides strong constraints on the standard synchrotron model, indicating that alternative mechanisms may give rise to the emission at these energies.

Why do I torture myself like this.
Jon's headcanon list- part 1
Good times.
dreaming-darklyy asked: Jon.
Jon and Ethan:
Jon loves his son, he truly does. There is no Family Devereaux without any one of them, and that even includes their beloved fuck-up son. With everything that Jon and Scarlett went through when she was pregnant, and afterwards with Samuel screwing him up when he was a toddler, Ethan is left as nothing more than a stoner drop-out with nothing to his name. Jon, not about to abandon his son no matter what happens, helps orchestrate Ethan coming back into himself, and eventually they overthrow Samuel, and Ethan is the one to kill him.
QED: Ethan kills Samuel.
Jon and Scarlett:
Jon is inherently more emotional (or more capable of emotion) than his wife, simply based on the nature of his ability. Eventually, these emotions overtake him as he is not a creature that is built for handling them. This will drive him to the brink of insanity, and after Samuel dies, Jon finally allows himself to collapse into paranoia and despair. He will depend nearly completely on his wife and his children.
QED: Jon will die an insane and potentially very lonely man.
Jon and Hellhounds:
Jon has had many dealings with the hellhound race over the years, and one of which led to the introduction of Enzo into the household. This in turn led to him making a deal with Beatricia, and he actually rather likes the arrangement. His daughter is looked after by Enzo, and his family is looked after by the information that Bea can provide him with. This will lead them to being further ostracized by the demonic courts, who are not on the best of terms with hellhound society. This will lead to a divide in opinion between Jon and Scarlett - Jon, siding with the hell hounds, Scarlett (while she likes Enzo,) siding with the demons because she knows their power, having spent lengths of time in Hell and knowing that resistance is literally futile.
QED: Jon and Scarlett fight over what will keep their family safest, but end up cast out from both societies, forced together in their differences.

New fire fighters bring district up to speed
Fire stations in Birch Bay and Semiahmoo came a step closer to being staffed by career firefighters Tuesday night following the apparent passage of three measures designed to both streamline district operations and raise the levy rate.
That's according to chief Tom Fields of North Whatcom Fire and Rescue Services (NWFRS), who said that while he "had to be careful" making predictions, he said that if the requests to raise the levy lids passed in Fire Districts 13 and 3 and District 3 also approved a merger with 13, "then we can begin looking at staffing the Birch Bay-Lynden station and Semiahmoo."
Fields added that he also wanted 24/7 staffing at the main station in district 3 at 307 19th Street in Lynden, a station that covers 90 square miles but currently is staffed five days a week from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. The three measures that would help make this possible all seemed to be winning at press time – district 13 voters gave their levy increase 65 percent approval, while district 3 voters approved a proposed merger with district 13 by a lopsided 77 percent. District 3 was less enthusiastic about raising their levy lid, but it was ahead 1,194 to 1,167. All three measures require a simple majority to pass.
It's the first increase in staff since March of 2002, Fields said, and brings NWFRS up to 18 full time career firefighters, three staff, three administrators and 85 volunteers.
Newly hired firefighters include Doug Kreider, 34; Chuck Shipp, 34; Jason Adams, 27; John Hollstein, 25; Adam Smith, 22; and Christopher Foy, 30.

By Christian Blauvelt, Hollywood Staff
Director Marc Webb sure is in love with Twitter! He's been tweeting out tantalizing images from the set of his upcoming The Amazing Spider-Man 2 for months, including glimpses of Dane DeHaan's Harry Osborne and Jamie Foxx's villain and Blue Man Group wannabe, Electro. It's an interesting strategy: it's cultivated and maintained interest in the film during its long production, sure, but it also strips away any air, dare we say Webbs, of mystery. We know exactly who the bad guys are and a decent sense of what they're after. In essence, Webb's approach has been the total opposite of J.J. Abrams' with Star Trek Into Darkness, in which the identity of Benedict Cumberbatch's villain has been carefully guarded for months. That movie is all about mystery, but that doesn't seem to be the case for The Amazing Spider-Man 2.
Electro, Rhino, and Venom, Oh My! 11 'Amazing Spider-Man 2' Twitter Pics
And now Webb's tweeted another photo, our first glimpse of Paul Giamatti's Rhino, angrily driving a vehicle. Check it out.
Talk about road rage! Giamatti lobbied long and hard to play The Rhino, his personal favorite villain from Marvel's Spider-Man comic books. He even pitched Sony on the idea during a visit to Conan a couple years back, which you can watch below. For you non-nerds, Rhino is a guy, often presented as a Russian in the comics, who was experimented upon and given an invulnerable skin. Nothing can harm him, so he often attaches a helmet to his head in the shape of a rhinoceros horn that he can use to break through walls and get into places he definitely shouldn't be. I wouldn't be surprised if in this photo he's just robbed a bank and this car or truck is his getaway vehicle.
Still, this means we've got at least two villains, in Electro and Rhino, onboard for The Amazing Spider-Man 2. And possibly a third if Harry Osborne becomes Venom. There's never been a good comic book movie with multiple villains. Do you think The Amazing Spider-Man 2 could break that curse?

Getaway Gorgeous
Written on February 15, 2011 at 6:41 am , by Fitness Magazine
I don't know about you, but all of this snow has me daydreaming about my spring vacation—which is now only a month away! Beach fantasizing has quickly evolved into planning out my beauty essentials for the perfect beachy look: Think small, packable items that pack a big beauty punch. Read on for the products I'm lusting after for the big trip, and steal some ideas for your vacation—or staycation!
Avoid a hairy situation. After a day at the beach, my nicely straightened hair usually expands in size—hello, frizz!—until I'm virtually unrecognizable to my friends. If you're like me and the sun/sand/salt water mixture leaves your hair in a knot, a hair moisturizer is the only option. I'll be packing Shu Uemura Essence Absolue Nourishing Protective Oil to keep my hair hydrated (and fuzz at bay), repair damage and shield my strands from UV rays.
Get your bronze on. Fake a believable getaway glow with this shimmery little gem: Smashbox Artificial Light Luminizing Lotion lends sun-kissed radiance while keeping my face moisturized. It's not full-on bronze, so it works on winter-pale skin.
Get eye-catching color. For a pop of color on top of my newly glowing skin, I'll be packing Clinique Chubby Stick Moisturizing Lip Colour Balm. This magic crayon gives an effortless, fun vacation look while also keeping lips soft with mango and shea butters.
Avoid runoff. This trip, I won't let annoying raccoon eyes put a damper on my ocean dips. I'll be sticking with super-volumizing Yves Saint Laurent Everlong Waterproof Mascara to prevent the runoff. Bon voyage!

Two left lanes of westbound Interstate 40/65 were closed Tuesday evening at Charlotte Avenue near downtown for another emergency bridge repair.
The Tennessee Department of Transportation also closed a portion of Charlotte Avenue beneath the interstate overpass for several hours after debris fell from the interstate to the road below.
The road repairs were expected to run until 4 a.m. Wednesday to replace old concrete on the overpass.
One lane on both westbound I-40 and Charlotte Avenue is expected to remain open during the repairs.
"We were concerned that we had small chunks of concrete dropping out of the bridge. We just couldn't let that continue," said TDOT chief engineer Paul Degges.
When TDOT engineers took a closer look, they saw water pooling between the asphalt on top of the surface and the concrete on the bottom, slowing eating away at the concrete.
"Water seems to be damming up underneath, between the number two and number three lane, and that is putting a lot of water right on that center lane. And that's getting in that concrete, accelerating the dilapidation of it," Degges said.
The repairs come just a week after TDOT closed two lanes of westbound Interstate 40/65 above Charlotte Avenue for emergency bridge repairs when a section of the bridge began to crumble.
After those repairs, TDOT said the bridge - which is due for a rehabilitation project in the next year - remains structurally sound for vehicles.
Aug. 6 emergency bridge repairs
Two westbound lanes on the bridge were quickly shut down Aug. 6 when chunks of concrete began falling on Charlotte Avenue below.
While the bridge was patched up, it's only a temporary fix and part of a bigger problem along I-40. Part of the problem is age.
The overpass over Charlotte and four other overpasses in the downtown area were built in the 1960s.
The interstate on the west side of downtown Nashville is a major route in and out of that area.
Ron Reesquez sells The Contributor newspaper each morning by the overpass. He's been selling the paper there for at least a year, but for the past two months, he's noticed the bridge making unusual noises.
The morning of Aug. 6, he said the noise got worse.
"It gets louder and louder," said Reesquez. "Today, I told one of my customers that bridge is fixing to go. It's a rumbling noise, and it gets louder and louder."
That was at 9 a.m. Tuesday. The concrete began to fall from the deck of the bridge by mid-afternoon.
It happened just before rush hour when Tennessee Department of Transportation crews closed two westbound lanes on the bridge to do a quick repair and pour fresh concrete, creating a bigger than usual traffic backup on I-40 West.
TDOT Chief Engineer Paul Degges wants to ease any fears drivers have that the bridge is unsafe.
"We talk about a hole in the bridge, but keep in mind the steel is still there," said Degges. "The concrete material is lost."
There are a number of bridges just west of the Charlotte Avenue overpass that were built in the 1960s and need attention.
"We are underway right now doing studies on the bridge and the next three bridges down, looking for ways to rehab and possibly replace the structures," said Degges.
TDOT expects to begin rehabbing the bridges along I-40 by July 2014. Most of the work will be done on the weekends.

Friday''s Ask the Experts question from a cleaning professional on the International Custodial Advisors Network (ICAN) "Ask the Experts" page: With a budget of $2,200-$2,600, what portable extractor and/or powerhead might you suggest we look at?
I know this is rock bottom pricing, but if possible, could you give me any ideas? We are cleaning commercial glue down (70 percent).
The answer:
A good overall machine would be a self-contained extractor, perhaps 9-12 gallons with a power-head brush.
Ask your local dealer or JanSan distributor if you can rent or use a demo unit to see if it fits your needs.
A self-contained unit delivers faster cleaning times than a wand unit. The key to good soil release is applying a premium pre-spray to the carpet prior to extraction.
On heavy soil, you can go ... — Gary Clipperton, president of National Pro Clean Corporation

Spirit Stories: In Your Own Words
Saying Goodbye
I have an interesting story that happened to me many years before I believed in the spirit life. My grandmother was 92 years old and in the hospital. I was going to a small town about three hours away from Minneapolis with my daughter and niece for the weekend to meet my cousin from Chicago. Her daughter was coming to Winona to look at the college. We got there on Friday night and all was well..
On Saturday we were going to go around the college and look at everything. When I woke up on Saturday morning I had a strange unsettling feeling. I asked my cousin if it was okay for her to take the girls, as I just wanted to sit by the pool and relax she said that was fine. As I lay there at about 12:00 noon I had the feeling that my grandmother was above me I looked up into the sky and said good bye Gram!
At dinner that night I said to my cousin my grandmother died this afternoon. (She was a grandmother on the other side of the family) and she said, "How would you know that?" And I just said, "I just know." When we got home on Sunday I walked into the house and asked my husband what time my grandmother died yesterday. He almost fell off the chair because there was no way that I would have known. He looked at me and said "Noon."
I know that she came to say good-bye. I am ever so grateful that she did. I don't think I understood the true impact on me until many years later. Fourteen months earlier my mother had died and she came to me just as I was falling asleep. Three months before my grandmother died my father died and when he came to me I pushed him away because I was just too scared. Now I talk to them all the time and feel their presence whenever I ask for them. So I truly believe.

The land where porn is good—and good for you
From the down and dirty hardcore available at your local Wal-Porn to the gratuitous love scenes of Hollywood, mainstream filmmakers are getting it wrong. The triple-X cinema hidden under mattresses everywhere in America delivers fake nails, fake boobs, fake hair and fake orgasms. On the other end, big-budget movies bring us impossibly photogenic mutual orgasms, sex without work.
Festival Preview
Fe Fête
The eighth annual Santa Fe Film Festival
For those of you keeping track, this year marks the eighth year in a row that Santa Fe has hosted its increasingly popular film festival. It's no real surprise that the festival has taken root and flourished in the creative soil of our capital city. Santa Fe has long held an artistic lure for Hollywood actors, several of whom call the City Different home. Of course, New Mexico's growing stature as a filming location has helped cement the Santa Fe Film Festival in the minds of the movie industry as well.

The Girlie Show
"Fashionably Late with Stacy London" on TLC
Outspoken fashion commentator Stacy London is best known for her work alongside Clinton Kelly on TLC's clothing-conscious makeover show "What Not to Wear." There are plenty of makeover shows crowding the airwaves these days, but "What Not to Wear" stands out for its personality, its sense of humor and its downright practical advice to some of America's most poorly dressed individuals. (Plus, it's just fun to razz clueless people and their god-awful sense of style.)
