- Service was overly enthusiasticOpenTable Diner Since 2005Dined on 9/29/2014My husband & I celebrated our 24th anniversary at Capital Grille. It was Monday night, restaurant was not full. We shared an appetizer - waiter tried to whisk away the plate before my husband had taken his portion. This over enthusiatic clearing happened throughout the meal - which was distracting. The food was fine...but menu did not include full descriptions. Example - I was expecting Chopped Salad to include blue cheese & found out that it was a VERY different salad. Lobster/Crab cakes were served w/Tartar Sauce - not my favorite & I would have asked for an adjustment. My husband enjoyed his Halibut & we both loved the Asparagus and Flourless Choclate Cake (although they could have been less stingy w/whipped cream.)Special Features:
- Excellent LunceonOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 9/29/2014We had a luncheon for 8 and the folks at Capital Grille were great and the food was delightful!Special Features:
- A DelightOpenTable Diner Since 2010VIPDined on 9/27/2014First time dined here and it was a delightful experience. Food was outstanding and the service great. My wife and I shared all dishes with the waiter making the arrangements as if this I'd done all the time. Appetizer of calamari was one of the best I've had, the lobster bisque contained many pieces of lobster, the chopped salad (weakest part of the meal) was nothing special and disappointing, the sliced filet and mushrooms outstanding, and the bread basket simply delicious. Since we were celebrating a birthday, the gratis birthday dessert was well worth the calories to complete the evening. A highly recommended dining experience!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Food was a WOWscdineDined on 9/26/2014We sat in the bar area during lunch. It was quiet and comfortable. The service was very good and prompt. The T-Bone steak was amazing; tender with great flavor. I highly recommend the lobster mac & cheese side dish. Truly the best side I've ever had . Great cheese flavor with an abundance of lobster meat. Managed to turn the meal into two with the leftovers. An overall wonderful dining experience.I would recommend this to a friend.
- Doclsk15Doclsk15Dined on 9/18/2014Food, service, decor, and martinis were incredible. A must go to restaurant.Special Features:
- Special EveningNew2tVIPDined on 9/14/2014My husband and I went for our anniversary and we were treated like gold. Outstanding service, quiet table and fabulous meal.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OutstandingrareadyVIPDined on 9/13/2014I had the filet mignon and lobster. The filet was done to my perfection and very juicy. The lobster mac and cheese was to die for and had large pieces of lobster meat so you could actually taste it. The 4 of us shared all the sides. It was a bit pricey but well worth it.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Ask for NikoMasterMoverVIPDined on 9/12/2014Our waiter Niko Dimashi was great -- he provided accurate descriptions and recommendations for the steaks and wine to match. He was attentive without being overbearing. Personable and professional!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- not up to parIgnoredVIPDined on 9/12/2014Usually is great. But we were ignored by our waitress and the busboys. Nobody came to our table for 10 minutes. I felt like we were bothering her asking questions about the menu and nobody cleared our dishes, so the table was full of empty plates. We left before the main course. The lobster crab cakes were good, but I can't tell you about much else.Special Features:
- AwesomeswguDined on 9/8/2014Once again, Capital Grille never disappointments. Fantastic service and excellent food. You can't go wrong. We go there for every special occasion, and we love it!Special Features:
- A great Place to CelebrateFlamingoVIPDined on 9/7/2014We celebrated my birthday here. CG does a good job with the little details - ie: staff wishing you HB, birthday card on the table. I was a bit disappointed that they had so many celebratory events over the weekend, they ran out of flower petals for the table Sunday evening. But our waiter never missed a beat - he found an orchid blossom and brought it to me! The food was excellent - steaks cooked perfectly! And the HB dessert was delish. A great way to celebrate.Special Features:
- The BestMarineVIPDined on 9/6/2014Food, service and ambiance are the reasons why we keep returning.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- ApotheosisDined on 9/6/2014I have been to the CG's in Beverly Hills and Costa Mesa. Now living here in Chicago, and I was just as pleased with the Lombard establishment as I have been with the others. We were taken care of very well, the restaurant is elegant as always, although it was too bad there was some construction going on out in front which made the entrance a little ugly. I'm sure once completed every thing will be fine.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Really fine dinningDanaDined on 9/6/2014The service was some of the best I have ever had. ( great job Jennifer M.) The food was great,well worth the price. Will go back again!Special Features:

- great foodmom2boysDined on 8/29/2014Food was terrific, except the chopped salad left a little to be desired. Not my favorite chopped salad. Everything else we had was great! Steaks were phenomenal! Our server was very nice, but a little slow. Overall the place was awesome and we will definatley be back!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- ExcellentFrankygVIPDined on 8/28/2014I have been to another Capitol Grille, but Lombard's is the best in all categories!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Very good experienceSpanishladyDined on 8/25/2014Food was excellent (filet with lobster tails, smoked salmon, halibut, Delmonico steak,etc.). Wine list is also excellent. Server was friendly, informative, and silently attentive. Our only problem was the lighting; it is a bit dark. This would not have been a problem thirty years ago! Of course the low lighting does give the place a nice ambience and is appropriate for dining. It is only our old eyes that are the problem! From start (the very nice man doing the valet parking) to the Hostess and Host, to the end was very good.Special Features:
- CG is OUT of the rotation!!MeeeVIPDined on 8/24/2014Food was sub-par and waiter not interested, period; except for inflating the bill. He was nowhere, did not advise us of a special menu tasting that our table would have liked. We know that's because the bill would have been less. He promised the caprese salad had heirloom tomatoes. It did NOT (unripe tasteless with only a few good cherry tomatoes); also, the mozzarella was way under par. This was SO not what we've had before at Lombard location that it makes me wonder if it is under new management. Overall quality was not nearly as good as before. Our host mentioned dissatisfaction to the manager on the way out and received only a curt "sorry". We were simply shocked to find Capital Grill has slipped so much!
- Wonderful ExperienceOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/24/2014Outstanding Food with Outstanding Service - We were celebrating an engagement and anniversary. Surpassed my expectations! Really loved the fact that the restaurant was quiet - could hear everyone at our table of eight without having to shout.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- First stop: release from hospitalPappyDDined on 8/23/2014After 3 weeks of hospital food, Grille was a real treat! Waiter was pleasant, attentive and responsive to changes needed. Doesn't anyone else order dry Rob Roy? it always takes two tries! Gave us a couple of wines to taste before deciding on a drier red than the first offered. Nicely done! Kona rubbed steak for me, lamb for my bride. Both perfectly prepared. Enough for a fine brunch at home on Sunday, too.Special Features:

- KrisDined on 8/16/2014The restaurant featured exceptional service and food. We went to celebrate an adoption and it was so nice, the waitress was able to inform us of the special occasion upon seating us. It was a four hour dinner and we had several individuals stop by our table to ensure everything was fine. We had constant service until the end, even if it was just refilling our water. I would not hesitate to recommend, but bring your appetite portions are huge.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- amynVIPDined on 8/9/2014Thomas (manager) & Nico went above and beyond! My hub and I love Capital Grille, but reserve for more special nights because it is pricey. The service there is amazing and it really makes you wonder why all restaurants aren't offering this extremely high level of service and level of professionalism in a dining experience. The food was not as good as usual, but I'm addicted to being treated so nicely! We will return!Special Features:

As list MP David Carter was elected Parliament's Speaker this afternoon, Labour's feeble nomination of Trevor Mallard takes the biscuit as an exercise in pointless political stupidity.
It speaks volumes for David Shearer's petulant inability to give up head-banging brick walls.
And here's the joke - Labour admits there would be very little show of Mr Mallard's nomination succeeding.
They were right - Mr Mallard tweeted his loss early.
Mr Shearer says it is a "point of principle."
Mr Shearer says Mr Carter saw him yesterday about the nomination but he feels it is too late.
On Tuesday Mr Shearer criticised National's choice saying his party was not consulted.
Mr Carter had already discussed the nomination with the Green Party at the request of its leaders.

Jordin Sparks Manages Her Migraines With New App
Written on December 14, 2012 at 10:36 am , by Lauren Cardarelli
Migraines are, well, a headache and as sufferers know, triggers mean trouble. In a recent Excedrin Migraine survey, 93 percent of women said that having a better understanding of their triggers would help with their migraine management yet only 11 percent tracked them regularly. Good news: There's now an app for that. With the help of a neurologist, Excedrin Migraine developed My Migraine Triggers (now available for free on iTunes) to log pain intensity, severity and location for convenient symptom understanding.
"There are so many triggers patients may not be aware of," explained Keri Petersen, MD, an internist at Lenox Hill Hospital. "[The app] breaks it down into environment, lifestyle and diet. There's a big list of things that a month down the road you're not going to remember, but in the moment it's right in front of you to think of." With the tough of a finger, triggers like alcohol, odors, chocolate and stress are documented in a personal history chart. Determine the root of the painful problem and facilitate a discussion with your physician for treatment by bringing the generated graph with you to your next doctor's visit.
After an a cappella treat to celebrate the app's launch, we sat down with American Idol's youngest winner and moderate migraine sufferer, Jordin Sparks. We talked triggers, her fit lifestyle change and how the football lover lightens up game day noshing. Here's what she had to say: Read more

"I Have A Fetish About Hosiery"
July 27th, 2010
There hasn't been a solo set of Nikki Cars on XLGirls.com since her first appearance in 2007. There are two XXX boffing sessions on XLGirls and one inside FeedHerFuckHer.com. It's great to see 40DDD Nikki get pounded and creamed. But man does not live by fucking alone. Nikki has a great body and an overall charisma that makes a man's eyes very happy. So it was time to see her in stockings and a sexy dress, spreading her holes and toying. Sexy for Nikki is "tight pants, bald men, fast cars, Italian accents and getting naked for the camera. The only fetish I am into is hosiery. I love stockings and thigh-highs. So I really was excited posing in this pictorial. I love how my legs feel and look in hose." How many times a week does Nikki like the banana? "I would have to say that I have sex anywhere from five to ten times a week. One of my favorite things is to have my tits covered in cum by a guy who can shoot big loads. I mean really covered, like, totally coated. Out of all the different kinds of models there are, I think the girls who enjoy fucking and tit-play the most are the XLGirl-sized ones like me. I'm not trying to brag but that's my feeling."

Bought this for running but love it so much I wore to play tennis in. So far, no chafing. Cute style also. Got compliments. Love the feel of the fabric and the fit - it has shape but is not tight. Wish more colors were available for summer.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I got one without thinking much because it was on sale. I LOVE IT!I have a long torso, but I don't need to worry about pulling it down during exercises, and most of all, it has a such a nice feminine shape! I love having a pocket in the back, not on the side or front, too.I just want to wear it even when I'm not running.

Nostalgia is a powerful force of human nature. It can transform those distant, often forgotten sections of life into warm and fuzzy periods of happiness that you can't help but yearn for as you make the inevitable trip towards the grave. Which means that seemingly mundane events – like being bathed gently by your mother in an iron tub, or that time you got chased by your weird neighbour because you climbed into his garden to fetch your ball – morph into memories that ring meaningfully with the innocent, care-free joys of youth.
Same goes for all those movies you watched endlessly as a kid. Over and over again these entertainment "classics" would make their way out of their dog-eared cases and into your VHS player. There, you'd sit, wide-eyed, mesmerised by the experience. You wouldn't judge the cinematography or the blunt exposition or the bad acting because you were 10-years-old and that would be insane. You liked the colors and the sense of adventure and the witty talking animals.
But kids are dumb, and that's why their opinions on absolutely anything should be ignored throughly. Take these movies – all considered the pinnacle of entertainment for somebody without pubic hair – but utterly failing in most aspects that need unite to make a quality motion picture. In advance, major apologies for this: it's necessary that one person be the depressing, soul-destroying voice of adulthood. I understand, of course, that if you are affected nostalgically by any of these movies, you're probably not going to agree with a single word written here. But don't take my word for it (why should you?): see what the critics said at the time. They think most of these movies suck, too.

5. An American Tail (1986)
What You Thought As A Kid:
Little Fievel is such a cutie! I feel so sad and sorry for him – this dank old city is a horrible, horrible place. But at least Fievel has a trustworthy group of companions to look out for him. This movie is actually kind of frightening, but so is everything when you're a child, so I suppose I'll keep watching it and remember that it scared me loads when I get a bit older. Yes! Time for the song! "Somewhere out there… beneath the pale moonlight…" Aw. Maybe dreams do come true.
What's Really Going On:
Ever heard of Don Bluth? No? He made pretty much every other animated movie that Disney didn't make back in the 80s and 90s. You know: The Secret of NIMH, The Land Before Time, All Dogs Go To Heaven, Thumbelina, Anastasia and… An American Tail. This adorable animated telling of the immigration story holds a special place in a lot of people's hearts, but I bet most of those people haven't seen this depressing slog of entertainment recently. Without sounding overly dramatic, An American Tail is absolutely hellish in every possible way.
Well, that's a slight exaggeration, but this thing is pretty bad. It tells the story (for reasons nobody really knows) of a mouse from Russia who finds himself lost in New York City and wants to reunite with his family because that's what lost kids do. Let's start with the animation itself, which is actually kind of crude and off-putting. It's dark and brown and depressing, and every scene is cloaked in an atmosphere so downbeat that watching this thing makes you genuinely sad. The songs are okay ("Somewhere Out There" is a bit of a classic, yes), but you're not gonna remember most of 'em when the credits roll.
No? Okay, well you can forget those criticisms if you like. If you enjoy bad animation and forgettable songs and the fact that this is one of the gloomiest children's movies ever made, that's fine: you just can't forgive An American Tail of its worst crime. Yes, the worst crime this film ever committed just happens to be the worst crime that absolutely any film can commit: it's boring. Like, really boring. And unless you're watching this through nostalgia goggles and remembering the scenes through the sheer power of "Oh, yeah, I recall this moment" moments, this'll have you snoring before little Fievel Mousekewitz (ugh) even gets off the boat in America. Send him back, I say.
Redeeming Features: "Somewhere Out There" is annoyingly sentimental, but it's sort of also the most beautiful song ever written, isn't it?

4. Jingle All The Way (1995)
What You Thought As A Kid:
This kid Jamie is living the Christmas dream. I wish my Dad was more like Arnold Schwarzenegger – look how much effort he's making to get his son that Turbo Man! I mean, c'mon, my Dad never went to those extents to get me a Furby. And that toy is awesome! "Rock 'em, sock 'em" jet pack? Why are they calling it a doll, though? Heck, I want one anyways! GET ME ONE.
What's Really Going On:
This is the hardest entry to write, considering that my own nostalgia is telling me that this is the greatest Christmas movie of them all (and maybe the greatest movie of all-time). But if I'm out to destroy other people's fond memories, it's only fair that I tear apart Brian Levant's Jingle All The Way too – and this is a movie that deserves to be torn apart. Firstly, it's important to mention that Jingle All The Way is still an entertaining flick because, c'mon, it's Arnold Schwarzenegger frantically searching for a toy in the midst of Christmas cheer. But even that wacky premise can't save a movie that has all its morals and integrity in the wrong places.
Because Jingle All The Way is all about a terrible father who spends too much time at work, ignores his family, and tries to make right of the situation by buying his son's love with an action figure. I'm sure plenty of awful parents have gone down a similar road come Christmas time, and it probably works (kids love getting things). But this is a Christmas movie, dammit, and there's no excusing the fact that Arnie's character is a piece of work. He eventually resorts to trying to steal the toy from his goofy neighbour's house and ends up setting the Christmas tree on fire and punching a reindeer in the face. Merry Christmas?
Levant attempts to make amends with the film's lack of moral conduct during the finale when little Jamie (a pre-Anakin Skywalker Jake Lloyd) reveals that he doesn't give a damn about the toy and just wants his Dad instead. But that just feels tacked on, given that the little mite couldn't stop talking about the thing for 90 minutes of our time. There are some genuinely amusing moments to be had: Sinbad plays Schwarzenegger's rival surprisingly well for Sinbad, the Big Show makes a rollicking cameo, and Phil Hartman is brilliant as always. But despite its good intentions to embrace all things Christmasy, Jingle All The Way can't escape its daft script and feel-bad premise.
Redeeming Factors: As far as I can tell, the studio didn't put out a Turbo Man Doll at Christmas time to tie-in with the movie. Oh, wait.

3. Space Jam (1996)
What You Thought As A Kid:
Oh my God: all my favourite cartoon characters have somehow found themselves transported into the real world? And Michael Jordan – who I'm actually only vaguely familiar with being just ten-years-old – is going on an adventure with them? Wow, this is amazing. The vast array of colours, especially, are blowing my mind. It's all very silly, isn't it? Which is what I love. 'Cause I'm a kid. Woo!
What's Really Going On:
You can't help but think about the initial pitch for Space Jam: "All right, so, it's all your favourite Looney Tunes characters… Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, you know… and, then, there's basketball as well… and… and Michael Jordan plays the main character, who is also Michael Jordan. Oh, and space. There's space." On another planet but Earth, that might've been the greatest pitch ever slammed-dunked into the other planetary version of Hollywood's basket, but here in the real world, it's just as bad as the movie it came to produce.
The obvious draws to something like Space Jam are (for a child), of course, the colorful characters and the fact that they're in the real world and interacting with human beings like it's the most natural thing to have ever occured. But said animation is cheap-looking and unconvincing, there are barely any jokes in which you might actually laugh, and there's been no attempt made to make this an appealing ride for audiences of all ages. Not that I go for that sort of thing. I'm just saying that, for a parent, Space Jam has got to be some kind of hell: 90 minutes of… stuff.
The plot is thin. It doesn't really even make sense, so I won't regurgitate it here. Just imagine the sort of plot that would bring Michael Jordan, Bugs Bunny and some aliens together and you'll probably get something close. Then there's an added layer to the film which in the way it kind of… knows... that it's just an advertisement for merchandising. I mean to say that Space Jam is genuinely cynical about its own reasons for existing, spewing comments in a way that'd make a parent say, "What the f**k? Don't tell me this stuff… I don't wanna know I'm controlled by iconic characters!"
It's well-known that Space Jam was made quickly for cash-in purposes and that's extremely obvious, but it's truly the blandest slice of animation I've ever seen as a result. There's absolutely nothing going on here that might inspire somebody to have a relatively worthwhile thought afterwards. I mean, I guess it could convince a child to play basketball, but a child would still probably, like, prefer to watch Space Jam. And that's the point I'm making: Space Jam sucks, okay?
Redeeming Factors: Michael Jordan isn't actually too bad. For a motion picture based around his actual celebrity, the man comes across as humble. Which is impressive.

2. Super Mario Bros. (1993)
What You Thought As A Kid:
They make films… out of video games? Oh, Boy! And Mario? Gosh! This is so amazing. Look at all the characters I love – they're in a moving movie! I don't know any of these actors but they're in a film, and that's that! "Everybody Walk The Dinosaur!" I'm gonna! I'm gonna walk it!
What's Really Going On:
What was this? Who let somebody actually make this movie? What person in their right mind actually stepped out of their front door one day, drove into work, and handed the directing team behind Super Mario Bros. the cash to get this thing made? Because a child doesn't have the ability to see how badly this adaptation of the world's most popular video game has gone. Oh, no. For the little nippers it's just exciting to see that real human beings are playing those familar pixelated characters. And, look, there's all the gang: Luigi, and Daisy… and Yoshi… is an actual dinosaur? Like, a prehistoric dinosaur? And… Bowser… isn't? Bowser is Dennis Hopper? Um…
The plot for a Super Mario Bros. game is obviously going to be paper thin. You run left and right (mainly right), killing things and collecting power-ups. Put simply, it's the simple story of a simple man who goes to a castle and rescues a Princess. From a massive lizard. That's it. So, somewhat understandably, the filmmakers tried to "flesh" out the story for the adaptation, but how exactly did they get Super Mario Bros. into Blade Runner/dystopian future territory? Especially since this thing was aimed at, um, kids. Seriously, there are so many things at odds with the original game that this might has well have been called DinoMovie. What do you think? DinoMovie it is, then.
Despite the fact that this camp-tastic mess depicts a world that you can imagine Arnold Schwarzenegger racing around and blowing things up in, there is truly nothing that really gels together here. You've got meaningless dance sequences, snot-themed plot elements, terrible musical choices, sets that look cheap and fake, a script that Uwe Boll would save for his lavatory, and Bob Hoskins desperately trying to understand why he agreed to play an Italian plumber.
As a kid, I really did enjoy this, but recent viewings have confirmed one thing: nobody was paying attention when they made Super Mario Bros. into a film. I mean, it makes sense that you don't see Samantha Mathis in movies anymore. She's probably still getting over the shock… not many actors have been in a movie in which their fathers are revealed to have been transformed into snot. Really, that's what happens.
Redeeming Factors: Why do I still think this song is amazing, though?

1. Hook (1991)
What You Thought As A Kid:
A magical, adventurous movie spectacle that might actually be the funniest thing I've ever seen. It understands that I, too, want to be like Peter Pan and fly off to Neverland and never grow up. The Lost Boys are so cool: I wish I could join them and live in their camp with all those gadgets and that amazing array of food. Oh, gosh, this is a dream come true – can I watch it again, papa?
What's Really Going On:
Hook is the definite perpetrator of nostaglia-based movie brainwashing and the absolute reason that this article exists in the first place. It's one of those movies that apparently everybody in the entire world loved as a child (like The Lion King) and continues to embrace with joyful spirit to this very day. Well, not me. I never saw this one as a child and am – in retrospect – overjoyed by the fact that my parents didn't buy it for me. Those who saw Hook as kids still don't seem to understand just how bad this movie is no matter what you tell them. If ever I've met somebody who watched Hook when they were younger and then voiced my own opinion (it's seriously poor), they seem utterly shocked. Like, bewildered. They love it. Love it. Why?
Not only is this movie a sentimental, schmalzy mess, it also happens to the worst film Steven Spielberg has ever made. I'm talking ever. The plot is tied around that of Peter Pan by J.M. Barrie but doesn't resemble the genuinely magical qualities of that play or the later Disney animated version. The plot (a kind of half-assed twist on the original story) concerns Robin Williams: he used to be Peter Pan but left Neverland and went home and got bored and became a lawyer and now must go back to fight Captain Hook (Dustin Hoffman) who is stirring up some shit.
This was definitely capable of being something special, but it's as if Spielberg was on autopilot or something during the making of this project: it reeks of a lazy Chris Columbus movie. The script doesn't help either… though this is a kind of sequel, it's just the same Peter Pan story all over again. Nothing fresh. Nothing unique. The action scenes are boring; the performances clash awkwardly; the set pieces are lazy; the characters are bland and undeveloped; it's about 50 minutes too long. And it's all just horribly kitsch, really, isn't it?
Spielberg himself said of Hook: "There are parts of Hook I love. I'm really proud of my work right up through Peter being hauled off in the parachute out the window, heading for Neverland." Even the master can't excuse the film's later half, which I sense he knows was well below his usually high standards.
Redeeming Factors: That Dustin Hoffman performance, I guess. Sort of. He's chewing the hell out of all that theme park-like scenery, though.
Rotten Tomatoes: 29%

Publication: The Day
New London — The state Department of Education has put on hold its review of Terrence P. Carter's application to become a certified superintendent until the Board of Education's investigation into his background is complete.
On Tuesday, The Day reported that at least 10 paragraphs of Carter's application for the superintendent job in New London contain material apparently copied from other sources without attribution.
"In light of these developments, this office has determined that we will defer the processing of your pending application for superintendent until such time as the New London Board of Education completes its investigation," Nancy L. Pugliese, chief of the Bureau of Educator Standards and Certification, wrote in a letter to Carter dated Tuesday. "At that time, we may move forward with our review of your pending application."
In some cases, entire paragraphs of Carter's March application are exactly the same as writings that previously appeared in other publications.
In the application, Carter claims to have developed a number of programs or initiatives at his previous job as director and chief academic officer of Chicago's Academy for Urban School Leadership, including the creation of an Office of Advancement.
But the academy's website contains no references to an Office of Advancement, and a spokeswoman for the organization on Tuesday would not say whether the office and other programs Carter takes credit for actually exist.
"Because this is all very closely tied to Terrence Carter, it is a personnel matter and I can't answer any of your questions," Deirdre Campbell, the spokeswoman, said.
The section of Carter's application in which he claims to have created the office appears to have been largely copied from a 2013 Pittsburgh Business Times article about a Pennsylvania school district creating its own Office of Advancement.
Campbell did confirm that Carter is no longer employed by the Chicago-based nonprofit organization.
Carter, whom the city's Board of Education unanimously appointed as its next superintendent on June 12, has been under fire since news reports indicated that he had misrepresented himself - or allowed others to misrepresent him - as having a Ph.D. for more than five years before he completed his doctorate. In addition, Carter has twice filed for bankruptcy in the last 15 years.
The state Department of Education last week asked Carter to withdraw himself from consideration for the New London superintendent's job. Carter has declined to do so, and the state Department of Education reiterated its request on Tuesday.
After a closed-door session in which it questioned Carter last week, the Board of Education voted unanimously to launch an independent investigation into Carter's academic record and financial background, and to defer any action on his contract until the inquiry is complete. That probe is expected to take about 30 days.
Carter's attorney, Bill McCoy, declined to comment Tuesday when asked if Carter denies that portions of his application were copied directly from other sources without attribution.
"He is fully prepared to discuss any of these issues during the course of the investigation the school board is indicating they are going to have," McCoy said.
But the vice president of the Board of Education said Tuesday she has seen enough and thinks the board should call off its investigation and begin the process of finding a different candidate for the job.
"I know I would just stop. We already have enough information that I feel I already know how I'm going to vote," Elizabeth Garcia Gonzalez said. "I just feel we should stop and seek another candidate."
Garcia Gonzalez said she is disappointed with the way the board's superintendent search has turned out and thinks the search firm hired by the board, McPherson and Jacobson, could have put more effort into scouring Carter's background.
"I know individuals have stated the Board of Education should have done the same thing. Fine, but we hired a consultant to do that, too," she said. "Everyone has the right to be upset, I just feel like we need to move forward and do what we can to select an individual that can work as an interim superintendent and see what happens from here on."
The other six Board of Education members either declined to comment or did not return calls or emails seeking comment Tuesday.
Steven J. Adamowski, the special master appointed by the state to oversee the district, did not respond to a request for comment.
Carter did not respond to a request for comment Tuesday.

Hali recorded seven tackles, two sacks, one forced fumble and a pass deflection in that game.
"Great athlete, good player, knows how to punch his hands," Hali said of offensive tackle Michael Oher during a conference call. "He gets to the spot, forces you to make decisions, protects the inside very well, strong.
"Hopefully I'll be able to use what I was able to do in prior years, but this year is a little different. It will be interesting how he and I will match up for the entire game." Hali is off to a quiet start , but history suggests he'll rebound strongly. For his career, he has 54 1/2 sacks and 22 forced fumbles.

Emmet Gowin: Changing The Earth
Not long after Mount St. Helens erupted in the state of Washington in 1980, Emmet Gowin chartered a light plane, flew into the immediate wilderness area devastated by the active volcano and recorded his first aerial landscape photographs. Intent on both seeing and documenting the consequences of a vast natural disaster, Gowin continued to return to the region in the years thereafter, creating images that revealed how flora and fauna began to thrive anew in the dramatically reorganized landscape. He witnessed how the earth set to healing itself. Then, one day, when bad weather prevented him from flying over his central subject, something unexpected happened. As Gowin has said of that moment:
"In 1986, returning, I thought for the last time, to Mount St. Helens, I took a side trip to Yakima, Washington, and a flight that changed my whole perception of the age in which I live. In less than two hours flying over the Hanford Reservation, a pattern of relationships and a dark history of places and events emerged. Still visible after forty years were the pathways, burial mounds, and waste disposal trenches, as well as skeletal remains of a city once used by over thirty thousand people who built the first reactors and enriched the first uranium. Etched and carved into the body of the desert landscape below was a whole history of unconscious traces. The making of the atomic bomb had cost a great deal in knowledge, money, time, and hardship. It had also cost the total destruction and poisoning of a landscape and placed a great river, the Columbia, at grave risk. What I saw, imagined, and now know, was that a landscape had been created that could never be saved. I began in the next year to search for the other signs of our "nuclear age": missile silos, production sites, waste treatment and disposal sites - in short, the realities that I had unconsciously forgotten."
Since that momentous flight in 1986, Gowin has logged hundreds of hours aloft with his camera, creating thousands of photographs that chronicle a wide variety of landscapes that have been profoundly altered by humankind. The ninety-two images presented in this exhibition and its catalogue offer a carefully edited glimpse of the military test sites, missile silos, weapons storage and disposal sites, toxic water treatment facilities, mining operations, pivot irrigation agriculture, off-road motor traffic, and more that Gowin has visited and photographed in our own country.
Also included are images the artist has more recently made abroad of other landscapes, such as the scarred battlefields of Kuwait, new golf courses under construction in Japan, and the chemopetrol industries of the Czech Republic. You will surely find Gowin's still-growing visual portrait of our changing earth both beautiful and alarming to contemplate. His steady artistic efforts have quietly yielded a stunning creative gift of concern for our species to receive, one worth careful scrutiny and discussion as we all consider better ways to dwell in peace and preserve the remarkable worldly environment and resources that nurture all life as we know it.

Budget Committee
Introduction to Budget Committee
Budget Committee is the CSA committee responsible for allocating all CSA funds. Each year, your student activity fee is combined with all other students', resulting in a large pool of money that we are responsible for allocating. We review proposed budgets during Spring Allocations and continue to meet weekly throughout the year to review incidental requests for funds and events. Our meetings are every Thursday at 8 PM (in Sayles 251) and open to anyone who would like to come. We make a recommendation on each request and CSA Senate gives the final approval for each request at its meeting on Monday at 7 PM (in Weitz 236).
I want to...
...learn about CSA funds.
...request money from Budget Committee
...read the CSA Budget Committee Bylaws and Guidelines.
...understand the CSA reimbursment process, once I have received funding.
...learn about Spring Allocations, and how my organization can get funds from CSA for the entire year.
...read past Budget Committee meeting minutes.

While many members of the NHL Players' Association have taken advantage of opportunities in European hockey leagues to stay in shape and continue to collect a pay cheque during the lockout, one NHL player has elected not to join them overseas.
Anaheim Ducks forward Bobby Ryan told a New Jersey newspaper that he is not planning to sign a deal to play in the KHL or any of the other leagues that continue to play during the NHL lockout.
"I'm going to continue to skate with the guys," Ryan told the New Jersey Courier-Post. "Whether it's coming back here (to South Jersey) for a couple weeks at a time. I think it's important to stay here (in the United States) and be part of the solution and not just run from it."
The Cherry Hill, New Jersey native does not believe that continuing to play while others are sitting out is the way to deal with business during the work stoppage.
"I'm going to handle things the way I think things should be handled," said Ryan.
The 25-year-old forward had 31 goals and 57 points last season for the Ducks, his fifth season in the NHL.
Goaltender Viktor Fasth and defenceman Luca Sbisa are currently the only members of the Ducks that have signed contracts with European squads.

April 25, 2014, 7:35 AM — Mozilla plans to more strictly enforce industry best practices for SSL certificates in future versions of Firefox with a new certificate verification system.
The new system will be implemented as a library called "mozilla::pkix" and will start being used by Firefox 31, which is expected to be released in July.
Many of the certificate verification changes in the new library are subtle and are related to technical requirements specified in the "Baseline Requirements for the Issuance and Management of Publicly-Trusted Certificates" issued by the Certification Authority/Browser (CAB) Forum. However, some of the behavior modifications also stem from changes Mozilla made to its own policy for trusting CA certificates.
For example, a document describing mozilla::pkix requirements notes that "end certificates used by servers are not allowed to have basic constraints asserting isCA=TRUE" and "certificates used as trust anchors or intermediates are now required to have the basic constraints extension and assert the isCA bit."
These two requirements are intended to prevent the misuse of subordinate CA (sub-CA) or intermediate certificates, which can be used to issue SSL certificates for any domain on the Internet.
In February 2012, Trustwave, one of the CAs trusted by browsers, publicly admitted that it had issued a sub-CA certificate for use by a third-party company to inspect SSL traffic passing through its corporate network. Mozilla said at the time that the use of sub-CA certificates for man-in-the-middle SSL traffic monitoring, even if performed on closed corporate networks, is unacceptable.
Another incident happened in January 2013, when a certificate with sub-CA status issued by Turktrust, a Turkish certificate authority trusted by browsers, was installed in a firewall appliance with SSL traffic monitoring capabilities by the Municipality of Ankara. Turktrust said the certificate in question was one of two that had been issued with sub-CA status by mistake in August 2011 and were actually supposed to be regular end-user certificates.
A month later Mozilla changed its CA policy to require all sub-CA certificates to be technically constrained to particular domain names using certificate extensions or to be publicly disclosed and audited as regular root CA certificates. The mozilla::pkix certificate verification library will begin enforcing that policy change inside the browser.

Excellent recipe for pan-fried fish - easy and delicious! I served with lemon wedges. You can make self-rising flour by combining: 1/3 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 tsp. baking powder, and 1/8 tsp. salt. Then, measure out 3 T. for this recipe. I look forward to trying Cajun-seasoned pork chops, and chicken breasts, too!

Have made this several times and we like it alot! Have found that regular unbleached flour works better than self-rising flour. Quick and easy for a snack or a delicious meal.

Do not add more Cajan seasoning than called for in the recipe - it will make the fish too salty.

What goals have you identified for your blog and website? What do you want your blog to do for your business? No really, it's not as obvious a question as it might at first appear.
I've been working with executive coaches and consultants for well over fourteen years now, helping them improve how they show up on the Web. In that time, I've seen a number of changes to the way websites look and function. It doesn't matter if you use a traditional website, or a blog, or a blog as a website, the principles are the same.
Yet many professionals aren't clear about their content marketing goals; their website and blog goals and expectations are vague. I made some notes for one client and thought I'd share them with you here. I came up with 5 goals your site should strive to accomplish in the first minute or two. One of them is a big challenge… Read More→

The superintendent of the Evadale Independent School District, Gary Fairchild, tells 12News that a man has been arrested in connection to a terroristic threat that canceled all classes at district schools Thursday.
Fairchild said the man was arrested in Harris County, noting that the threat was made against the district. He said it was not a bomb threat nor a hit list but would not release further details about the nature of the threat.
Fairchild said he and Jasper County Sheriff Mitchel Newman would release more information soon.
Parents were notified through automated phone calls.
Fairchild said he learned about the threat about 8 p.m. Wednesday.
A spokesperson with the Tyler County Sheriff's Office spokesperson told 12News that schools in nearby Warren ISD were also closed early Thursday because of the same threat. They say the Warren threat was minimal, but authorities were being cautious by letting students release early.
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives are assisting in the investigation.
A spokesperson for the Federal Bureau of Investigation told 12News the FBI cannot comment on the alleged threat.

I would just like to add something: Using Flash Heal/Flash of Light/Healing Surge/ isn't going to break your mana pool unless you're woefully under-geared, and it is sometimes the correct answer to the situation.
The fast heals let you power a tank through things that simply should not be survivable, like broken CC or an additional group. Even in boss encounters, I do occasionally reach for my Flash Heal button. A cast here and there may be what's needed to save an encounter, and often your group will be surprised that they survived whatever it was that caused you to need it.
Like endless medium heal spam, though, you cannot sustain it. In this case, however, more than a handful of fast heals will mean OOM issues later in the fight. Make sure you don't whip out the heal-bombs when they're not needed, but do remember you have them. I think of them as my fifth healing cooldown.

A small plane crashed in Spotsylvania County, about 75 miles southwest of Washington, killing a father and his son, police say.
Virginia State Police say that 48-year-old John B. Morton Jr. and his 13-year-old son Kyle J. Morton, of Stafford, died when their Cessna 150M hit a tree shortly after taking off from Shannon Airport Saturday evening. The plane fell into a mobile home park, but no one on the ground was injured and no homes were damaged.
The father was conducting takeoffs and landings at the airport, which serves only small planes, according to police spokeswoman Corinne Geller. Federal authorities are investigating the incident.

The easiest way to discuss The CW's new series Reign, a kind of Hunky History for Girls retelling of the story of Mary, Queen of Scots, and her brief teenage marriage to the French boy king Francis II, is to use that old Sam Cooke song Wonderful World as a checklist:
Don't know much about history ... Fer shure, dude.
Don't know much biology ... Hmm. Any actual grownup who sees this is going to say it's got way too much biology, especially the part below the waist.
Don't know much about a science book ... Well, it's got witchcraft and human sacrifice. On The CW, that's practically quantum physics.
Don't know much about the French I took ... No kidding. When the French see this, they're going to fly into such a rage that they might even punch out Jerry Lewis.
You get the picture. Reign is something less than a masterpiece of scholarship. But The CW targeted an audience more interested in hair chalk and cake pops than the political economy of 16th century Europe, and has never had the intellectual pretensions of the History Channel or even the Game Show Network. If you think of Reign as Mary, Teen of Scots — a sort of Gossip Girl where the consequence of wearing the wrong outfit is not exclusion from the cool cafeteria table but beheading — it can be surprisingly entertaining.
Adelaide Kane ( Teen Wolf) stars as Mary, the Scottish queen who at 16 leaves an English convent where she's been stored for safekeeping. (Poisoning pretenders to the throne was the favorite parlor game of British royals in those days, Scattergories not having been invented yet.) Destination: France, where she'll fulfill her politically convenient betrothal to Francis, two years her junior.
The French royal court turns out to be considerably more interesting than the convent: Assassins. Rapists. Ghosts. Somebody or something unresplendently known around the castle as The Girl With the Wrecked Face who whispers dire prophecies from behind closed doors.
And, of course, boys. Not only has Francis (Brit TV actor Toby Regbo) been upgraded from his historical self — short, stuttering and wimpy — to a major hottie, but he's been given a wholly fictional hard-bod half-brother named Bash (Torrance Coombs, The Tudors). The result is a nascent romantic triangle or even, given Reign's sexual exuberance, a possible three-way: Kinky encounters, ranging from marriage consummation as a spectator sport to the previously unknown tendency of the French to engage in self-abuse on stairways, are legion.
Soapy and silly this all may be, but immersion in the intrigue of Reign has its pleasures, not all of them from laughing at its absurdities. (Mary, boasting that she's no mere royal heirhead: "I can milk a goat!") Kane's portrait of a teenager with a dawning realization that her royal caprices can have unexpectedly grim consequences offers an interesting take on the traditional coming-of-age story.
And the show's gothic notes at times ring eerily indeed. When Mary dismisses murmurings that the castle is haunted with the declaration that she's never seen a ghost, she has no answer to the chilling response of a friend: "But what if they saw you?"

Corpse Run 107: Out of reach, out of stock
I'm just going to say that I actually don't do this when the situation arises. I'll find some way, whether it be jumping, ladder, or climbing to get to my target. I like a challenge.
I also like knowing that I could die at any moment.
Every once in a while, though, the thought will cross my mind to say "screw it." Plus, I probably wont have that many opportunities to draw giraffes.
So, Chicago was put up on Netflix recently, and being the musical theater nut that I am, I consumed it immediately. Was it good? Yeah. Was it Best Picture good? No. The only real good songs were towards the beginning, those being "All that Jazz" and "Cell Block Tango." The rest of the film felt pretty empty and unexciting. How the hell did it win Best Picture when just a year before Moulin Rouge did not? Crimes! CRIMES!

African student works for diversity, humanity at WSU By Troy Roper III Signpost staff writer Human rights activist Thabo Mzilikazi, a Weber State University student from South Africa, will return to his country after graduation to help restructure its educational system.Mzilikazi said he will work for human rights while at WSU. He is a freshman on scholarship with a major in fine arts and a minor in political science. He was offered a South African student scholarship after he spoke to students and administration about recruiting more African students to WSU. Mzilikazi chose this campus over six other scholarship offers because he likes the small school community. WSU allowed him to be the big fish in a little pond, he said. "I chose fine arts because art is a medium of communi Committee By Laurie Albrechtsen Signpost campus affairs editor Following controversy regarding the legality of closing the final Student Fee Allocation Committee meeting in the spring, the committee voted for closure. The committee agreed to add another closed meeting in the spring in case they don't finish business in the first. The meeting in the spring will decide final recomendations of students fees. After making several amendments to the Student Fee Allocation policies and procedures manual, the committee raised two 3 " f 4 r"x ' ' s-J cation," he said. "It is a way to release emotions." Mzilikazi will use his degree to reintroduce art to his own culture. "Students need ways to redirect anger," he said. Art is the avenue of expression that Mzilikazi would like to integrate into the South African school system. Mzilikazi said without art, a person has "no sense of belonging."A political science minor will help him gain background in politics, which will help him to reform the educational system in South Africa, he said. Blacks are now allowed to go to white schools, he said, but white schools teach white superiority over blacks. He wants to change the educational system to prevent the breakdown of the black African value system. Mzilikazi said that liberation and education "will go hand and glove." The education of the nation needs to happen at the same time as the liberation and not after. He said that education is possible for Africa "we just need to closes meeting to public, press amendments, changed its name, then proceeded to close the work meetings. Student Tyson Hiatt said, "When funds are being discussed in public, they post the public hearing, the topic is discussed in depth and then the council goes back to the public meeting. The hearings on campus should be handled in the same way. They should be able to be present. They have an individual right to see what is being done. It is a public meeting."Brent Richardson, student health professions senator added, "A public meeting is public. Ex T-Hjpi ' 'Jaw- 2 '' get the ball rolling." While in Utah, Mzilikazi plans to volunteer his time to help enlarge the multicultural center. He volunteers time to Black Scholars United, and in doing so, plans to create an international coffee hour and other international cultural events. Mzilikazi said he will talk to administrators to form a group and acquire money and resources, if needed, for African students as they enroll. Right now there are fewer than 15 African students at WSU, he said. Tuesday at an Amnesty International meeting, he opened discussion on the confrontation between the African National Congress and the National Party (regime). Mzilikazi is a member of the African National Congress Youth League ( ANC YL), which has taken him around the nation speaking to students against apartheid. See Humanity page 2 perience is an excellent teacher." Hiatt added, "Why not keep the meetings open and see how it goes? It should be open if the only reason is for frankness." Marie Kotter, vice president of student services, said it is OPEN MEETING harder for people to be frank when a meeting is open. Judy Hurst, student government adviser, warned of the periods of frustration at some meet- Football may get the ax By Laurie Albrechtsen Signpost campus affairs editor Weber State University's football team was on the chopping block at Honors Issues Forum, Thursday, as President Paul Thompson explained the need to tighten finances. "We are under extreme financial pressure from many places. We need to cut in several areas. We are also getting pressure from many groups because of the discretionary funds used for foot-bail. There was $480,000 spent in 1990. That was to be decreased by $80,000 for five years until there was none being used eventually. This year we spent $320,000 for football," Thompson said. WSU currently spends about 15 percent of its budget on athletics, including $1 million for football each year, he said. Revenue from the football program in 1 992-93 was $168,000 from the gate, programs and radio. Average attendance was 4,800 and gate proceeds were $77,000. WSU also received $3.8 million in private donations. The Wildcat club raised an additional $170,000, although about a third of that went for football, he said. But the football program was subsidized $832,000 from discretionary funds, over and above its revenues, and the discretionary funds are running out, he said. The university needs to reduce the subsidy by $500,000. The university has less money to spend because of tax restrictions placed by the State Legislature, Thompson added. WSU is also facing NCAA gender equality restriction which require schools' athletic teams to reflect their gender distribution. This restriction may become a deciding factor if a team is chosen to replace football. Men's soccer was named as one alternative. ings. Often the frustrations are not expressed well when "you have to face the press." Richardson said, "The law has narrow loopholes, if we need loopholes then we are illegal.

|Weber's current student newspaper, the Signpost, first appeared on September 29, 1937. For two years prior to that time, campus news was disseminated via announcements posted on a bulletin board known as the "Signpost". As a result, the masthead of the first issue of the paper itself featured a rudimentary wooden sign with the title spelled out in rustic-looking letters. Over the years the paper has been published continuously, though the look, size and style has changed several times.

Tuesday, defense attorneys began making their case in the trial of a woman accused of murdering her motivational speaker ex-boyfriend in Arizona more than four years ago in a jealous rage.
Jodi Arias could become the fourth woman on Arizona's death row if she's convicted of killing Travis Alexander and sentenced to death.
Prosecutors say Arias shot Alexander in the face, stabbed him 27 times, slit his throat and left him inside a shower at his suburban Phoenix home in 2008 after he tried to end their relationship.
Arias changed her stories about the killing. At first, she denied involvement, but later blamed it on masked intruders before confessing.
Now, she claims Alexander was abusive and that the killing was in self-defense.
This morning, the defense called Gus Searcy to the stand -- a man who knew Arias. When it was the prosecution's turn, it got heated when the prosecutor tired to pin down how well he knew her and where he saw her at various business conventions.
Searcy was an executive at a multi-level marketing company selling legal insurance and Jodi was just starting there. Searcy said Jodi struck him as pleasant, professional, well-dressed.
He grew close to her, but said it was not a sexual relationship.
Searcy testified at one point he say Jodi talking to her boyfriend Travis Alexander, and she was upset.
"Well once it got heated, she excused herself and talked to him for about a half an hour outside and once she came back in, she was shaking and crying," testified Searcy.
On cross-examination, the prosecutor first suggested the multi-level company was shady and Searcy was making money on a pyramid scheme.
Tuesday afternoon, Jodi's former boyfriend Darryl Brewer took the stand. He described their relationship as a normal, sweet one. They dated for four years and bought a house together. When their relationship ended, there was no violence or jealousy.
The defense also asked some pretty graphic questions about the couple's sex life -- comparing it to the sex life we've learned she had with Travis.
On cross-examination, the prosecutor tried to portray it as volatile, marked by kinky sex.
Defense: "This sex you had with Jodi. Did it entail wearing little boys underwear? ...Did it involve putting her in school girl outfits and pig tails? ...Did it involve bending her over a desk?"
To each, Brewer answered, "No."
On cross-examination, Darryl Brewer conceded Jodi took a nude picture of him in the shower. Of course, she also took a nude photo of Travis Alexander in the shower -- before (she admits) she killed him.
Will Jodi Arias testify in her own defense? That's the big question hanging over this trial.
