School and college transport
The Council has recently undertaken a consultation exercise on a number of proposed changes to the current home to school transport policies. This consultation has now closed. A summary of the agreed changes is as follows.
Further information regarding the decision making
Details regarding the decision on post 16 SEN
Under 16 school transport – catchment school
For new applicants from September 2015,
eligibility for free transport will be based only on distance (over
the statutory walking distance) from home to the nearest qualifying
school. In recognition of the rural nature of some of the
high impact communities that will be affected by the change, it has
been agreed that a total mitigation fund of up to £25k be used for
the 2015-2016 and 2016-2017 academic years to support the rural
communities, including Saughall, Tarvin, Farndon/Churton and
Tattenhall. Agreement as to how this will be utilised and
administered will be worked up in partnership with the Council's
Localities Directorate, the high impact schools and the communities
themselves in the period leading up to the September 2015
implementation date.
The purpose of the fund is to create sustainable transport solutions to support choice in these rural areas. The Council is also looking to increase its pool of volunteers including volunteer drivers. There is also a potential opportunity for these communities to assist with recruitment in these rural areas and if successful the Council will consider an additional incentive payment to the mitigation fund linked to the accrued savings for the communities to use for sustainable home to school transport solutions.
Under 16 school transport – statutory walking distance
From September 2015, any pupils transferring into school years 4, 5 and 6 (age eight onwards) to a new school will only be offered free transport if their nearest qualifying school is over the three miles statutory walking distance from their home address. (For those children in receipt of free transport under the existing policy up to August 2015, a protection will apply and they will continue to receive the same level of support up to the end of year 6).
16-19 transport – Special Educational Need (SEN) for students with additional needs
1. It has been agreed that from September 2014 new post 16 SEN students eligible for transport to their educational establishment will be charged £660 per year (or £330 for hardship) rising to £880 (or £440 for hardship) in September 2015. Existing post 16 SEN students entering into year 13 will be exempt from this charge.
2. The Council will write to central Government outlining the difficulties that councils face associated with raising the participation age to 18 (that children must remain in education, training or employment).
3. An Executive Working Group will be established to consider the implementation process of the school transport charging policy going forward between May to September 2014 and to assist families wherever possible.
Medical needs
From September 2014 an annual charge of £660 will be applied for pupils of statutory school age with medical needs not attending their nearest qualifying school (or an apportioned amount if it is a short term arrangement). From September 2015 the annual charge will increase to £880. The Director of Children and Young People's Services will retain the discretion to consider cases on an exceptional basis. For those pupils with medical needs attending their nearest qualifying school that is under the statutory walking distance but due to disability or mobility they are unable to walk there in reasonable safety, even when accompanied, free transport will be provided.
Independent Travel Training
The introduction of a suitability assessment for Independent Travel Training (ITT) as part of the annual SEN statement review (or replacement review process as we move to Education Health and Care plans) for all children and young people from school year 6 onwards who have special educational needs and are entitled to transport provision by the Council. The assessment will determine the level of ITT to be offered to the individual. The Council remains committed to offering training towards full and independent travel for individuals assessed as being capable of doing so. Children in care who are eligible for local authority transport provision will also be assessed on an annual basis and ITT will be offered on the basis outlined above.
Under 16 school transport – increase to spare seat charges
From September 2014, an annual charge of £660 will be
implemented for spare seats. This charge will increase to £880 in
September 2015.
For further information regarding the review please visit the consultation page.

Was it the underaged boob flashing? Introducing her boyfriend, the vibrator? Being a general potty-mouth? Well, whatever it is that's gotten the "Gossip Girl" producers' panties in a twist, Taylor Momsen is out for good.
Celebrity gossip websites reported that the ex-Gossip Girl regular had been suspended last November due to her controversial antics "creative reasons", having channeled her temperamental teen star character, Jenny Humphrey into real life, big time.
Frankly, we much preferred her as Cindy Lou.
So what's in store for 17-year-old Momsen now, apart from throatily groaning her way through her band's, The Pretty Reckless' gigs or rocking raccoon eyes, streetwalker fishnets, and lucite heels on the street?

Evolution in Action
The evolution of camera image sensors has been profound, and enlightening
Second generation: Orca/Beluga
The second generation of Pixim chips was the first mainstream implementation of Digital Pixel System technology. Orca (and a later modification known as Beluga) performed better at high temperatures plus captured higher quality video in low light. These chips enabled Pixim to surpass its first one million units sold and have been used in many famous sites including the Olympic Stadium in Athens, Legoland in the U.K., Yankee Stadium in New York and the Vatican in Rome. The Orca image processor increased the speed of the embedded microprocessor to a 225 MHz ARM 9 and increased the embedded memory on the chip to allow more advanced functions, such as privacy masking, focus detection, and activity zones.
The new Beluga sensor took advantage of CMOS fabrication improvements which included enhanced photodiode formation, thinner metal routing and more optically efficient micro lenses and color filters. This new sensor, together with the Orca image processor, targeted 30p progressive scan capture mode using new camera firmware. Beluga improved dim light color performance by two f/stops over the Orca generation and served as the basis for the first IP cameras powered by DPS technology.
Third generation: Seawolf
Seawolf is a giant step forward in the evolution of Pixim-powered camera technology. For the first time in the history of the security industry, the image sensor and image processor are integrated into a single chip. Single board camera modules based on the Seawolf chip make it easier for manufacturers to develop compact camera formats, a rapidly growing market segment.
The integrated chip reduces manufacturing cost of the camera electronics by as much as 50 percent at the wholesale level. Radically simplified camera design has allowed dozens of additional camera brands to add new Pixim-powered products at distribution price points.
Low-light performance has improved by 10 times versus previous Pixim chips and resolution has increased to 690 HTVL effective. The new low light performance allows the cameras to excel in very dim light environments where color accuracy is critical, such as casinos and restaurants. Seawolf's focus detection feature lets an integrator know when the camera is properly focused, making life easier for technicians. Seawolf's unique combination of excellent low-light and high-light (wide dynamic range) performance allow it to be used as a universal camera solution for nearly all security and surveillance applications -from banking, to retail, convenience stores, casinos and transit systems.
Fourth generation: Nightwolf
Nightwolf eliminates hot spots common to infrared (IR) cameras with near-field reflective objects in the scene (such as faces, license plates, road signs, windows) and correctly exposes highlights as well as darker background details simultaneously—an unprecedented capability in the large market for IR-assisted security cameras.
A typical IR-assisted CCD camera attempts to solve the hot spot problem by either closing down a mechanical iris or dimming the infrared LED lights. While either of these compromises can help avoid hot-spot saturation, the resulting side effect is that the camera loses critical shadow detail. This compromise to prevent one problem drastically reduces the image quality of the IR camera by causing another, equally troublesome problem—loss of information. With new imaging algorithms applied to near infrared light spectrum, Pixim Nightwolf is able to capture both foreground and background details even in cases where very strong IR lighting is used.
The future of imaging
Like similar advancements from older, analog systems (TV tubes) to new, fully digital systems (LCD flat panels), Pixim has proven that its DPS technology is here to stay. The technology remains unique in the video security industry and Pixim is developing new products for high-definition cameras. Improvements to the core technology will continue to evolve and improve over the next decade.

Media Release
Senator Ian Campbell
Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministers for the Environment, Sport, Territories, and Local Government
The Head of the Australian Delegation to the U.N. commission on Sustainable Development, Senator Ian Campbell, Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister for the Environment (Senator Robert Hill) highlighted the benefits for sustainable development of the Coalition's environment package in a statement delivered in New Your today.
Speaking at the 4th Annual Meeting of the Commission n(CSD4), Senator Campbell said that regional cooperation on environment programs was vital to achieving the important global objectives enshrined in Agenda 21 as developed at the Earth Summit in Rio in 1992.
Referring to the Coalition's policy to fund the "Natural Heritage Trust" with A$1.0 billion for the partial sale of Telstra, Senator Campbell said in his U.N. statement "that the Natural )Heritage) Trust investments will also have significant benefits for our regional cooperative efforts."
Senator Campbell said that Australia had developed cooperative relations on a range of sustainable development and environmental programs with nations in our region.
Senator Campbell said that "when government ownership of public utility is balanced against a long-term strategic approach to ensuring sustainable development outcomes, it is the view of the Australian Government that our responsibilities clearly lie with our long term future."
"What we are essentially doing is transferring funds form a single government asset to perhaps our most important asset - the environment."
The financial returns from the sale will establish a long-term investment - an investment for Australia's future generations.
Senator Campbell restated Australia's strong commitment to the principles of sustainable development and the importance of maintaining political momentum at the international level.
However, Senator Campbell warned that high rhetoric would be meaningless unless the concept of a "Global Partnership: was an inclusive one that embraced the needs of local communities and their industries.
He said that without commitments to the principles of sustainable development in the daily lives of individuals then international efforts are mad less meaningful.

Welcome to Youngstown: It's still Mississippi, circa 1950, here
Concerning Bertram de Souza's column last Sunday about Democratic Party Chairman David Betras and charges of racism leveled at him: Are you kidding me?
In a city where the election of a black person for mayor is an aberration and not a progressive democratic pursuit, your premise is worst than "fantasy football." This political environment is not worthy of debate or discussion, because the white voters in Youngstown and the "alphabet surburbs" (Austintown, Boardman, Canfield) are ideologically four decades behind reasonable and progressive political thinking cities and counties elsewhere (Cleveland, Ohio; Cuyahoga County) where qualified black people and women get elected based on credentials. Look at mayors Carl Stokes, Michael White, Jane Campbell and Frank Jackson, Congressman Louis Stokes, multiple black judges, several county commissioners.
Welcome to Youngstown; it's Mississippi, circa 1950.
White voters here have had their say at the polls for over a century, partly due to census population demographics of highly dense white wards and mostly because they are now and have always been afraid of change and react misinformed, ill-informed and uninformed to anything that does not look Eastern European and disrupts their definition of a patriotic American lifestyle. Examples include busing, red lining, Equal Rights Amendment, voting rights, etc.
Finally, Bertram, you and I do agree on one thing: Democratic Party Chairman Betras is not a racist by accepted definition, but he is guilty of being racially insensitive, like so many of you individuals who have assimilated to this American melting pot, prospered and left your culture at the Ellis Island portals.
This was not an undercurrent reaction by the vast majority of black people, nor was it a tsunami. We did feel a size 6 seismographic racial tremor.
C. Nolan Boles, Youngstown
More people should read editorial pages of newspapers
Alexander Hamilton at the age of 17 was considered one of the greatest communicators of his day. He was an eloquent speaker; when he spoke he held the attention of all within hearing distance. At that time the spread of news was limited to word of mouth and what few newspapers were available.
Alexander was concerned that so many people showed little interest in what was going on in their budding new country. He referred to these people as town-pump gossipers, because they seemed content only with what was happening around them.
I see a parallel between those days and now. I believe today most readers of the local newspapers scan the world and local news, the sports pages and stop there. They ignore the most informative part of the paper: the editorial page.
These opinion columns are written by professionals — people who are capable of expressing themselves adequately. We will not agree with everything they write, and that's how it should be, but being exposed to various viewpoints should help us make the decisions that could be critical the next time we enter the voting booth.
In Washington, D.C., we have a bunch of overpaid decision-makers whose actions are being stagnated by political pressure and the fear of offending their constituents. Consequently, nothing is getting done.
Leon White, Columbiana
Vindy Obamacare series praised
Kudos to The Vindicator and the Associated Press. Your six-part series on Obamacare was the most comprehensive and easiest-understood writing I have seen on the subject.
Although, I hope that Obamacare will yet be repealed, in all probability we will be stuck with it. It can join many other failed government programs.
Assuming that it will remain a law, your article explained many of the reasons we can expect future medical shortages and an increase in medical expenses. It also explained why we will have a new criminal populace who will not purchase the insurance deemed necessary by the federal government.
We needed to know all of this. Thank you.
Donald Butler, Warren
US should invest in education, fighting Mexican drug cartels
The real problem in Amer- ica is the direction that the country is taking because of the leadership. No matter how sincere they might be, and that is in question, they are going down a dark road. They recently sent a rocket to the moon again when everyone knows that there is absolutely nothing there, and it just costs a lot of money that could have been used for other things in our country.
America is not the policeman of the world. It acts like a man who helps everyone but his own family. The Bible says that a Christian who doesn't take care of his own family is worse than an unbeliever.
That be as it may, why are we always sending our troops all over the world, even after we have seen that this has never turned out good for us or the people we supposedly tried to help?
Other countries are sovereign nations and the people in those nations are more than capable of removing evil leaders by many different means. It is really none of our business.
It is sad when innocent people and children are killed, but what about the genocide in America that kills unborn children everyday?
If the government wants to do some good, it should send troops into Mexico and deal with the murdering cartels and all those who support them in our own country.
They should put money in revamping our educational system that no longer prepares our children to succeed in a world that has drastically changed over the last 50 years. The summer vacation is ridiculous since it was needed for the harvest of an agricultural nation, which we no longer are. No wonder other nations raise more educated and intelligent children than we do.
Finally, the nation needs to return to God and the Christian faith that it was founded on. America was never perfect, but it is still the greatest nation in the world.
Leo Feher, Youngstown
Economic recovery fails to impress
Has the economy "really" improved? The only way the government seems to be able to balance its budget is to "take" from the poor, disabled and seniors.
College graduates can't find jobs. Those who have jobs are being laid off, and the companies are hiring younger less qualified individuals to save money.
Of course when Obamacare kicks in, everyone will be kicked down to part-time jobs. Is there even such a thing as job security anymore — especially with retirees' pensions being taken off of them?
A person only needs to walk into any grocery store to hear the sound of shoppers grumbling to themselves. I say grumbling to themselves because elected officials make politically sound decisions rather than to "see" and "hear" the hardship the American people are under.
What sounds good on paper won't put food in people's mouths.
Syliva Koczwara, Youngstown
C. Nolan Boles:
Your tone is quite presumptive, because I hardly think you are qualified to speak for the so-called "ABC" suburbs and how they think. I am sure, however, that they are tired of your side putting words into their mouths and telling them what they are thinking.
Whereas you claim Mahoning County is Mississippi 1950, I think the more accurate statement here would be your line of thinking is stuck in 1950 because your entire racially charged editorial is just another attempt to get a rise out of people.
I do not know if you have been to the inner city Cleveland where your so-called progressives are elected, but you can keep them if that is what you want for Youngstown. Your same progressives live in inner city Detroit and inner city Chicago, and you can keep them too.
I find your editorial to be insulting to the other ethnic heritages that made this county great, and to say our heritage was left at Ellis Island is obviously a stupid and misinformed comment because the Italian, Irish, Slovak, and multitude of other cultures form some of the strongest communities here in the Valley.
From my point of view, you sir are as culturally insensitive and racist as those you are accusing in your piece, and you should be ashamed of yourself.
Mr. Boles, if this is the best your side has to offer for the future of the City of Youngstown, I hope John McNally cleans your clock in November.
yeah right, coleman young and demain kitchen too.
"where qualified black people and women get elected based on credentials"
Mr Boles would you, with a strait face, want to compare Kitchen's credentials to McNally's.
@Donald Butler,
I'd also like to give thanks to the Vindy and the AP for the series on ACA. However, what's interesting to me is how Mr Butler has extrapolated what he read to be a government program that is bound to fail, provides services to criminals, and will cause medical shortages and inceased medical costs.
I read the same articles that Mr. Butler did and came away with the understanding that SOME people fear that these things MIGHT happen, but that the AP or the Vindicator was not saying that these things WOULD happen.
I'm reminded of a similar situation in the mid-sixties when there were some people (of a particular political party) predicting the destruction of the United States by this evil plan called medicare.
Well, the numbers for the ACA don't lend themselves to what the politicians promised back when this thing passed. Judging by the amount of people saying their premiums are getting jacked up based on what the site is estimating (and the lack thereof of those saying they are going down), I find the situation a little alarming in that the system is going to be relying on younger people taking on the brunt of the rate increases when at this point in their life they can barely afford it.
But you know what, we are going to see one way or another if the administration was jerking everyone around or not. Since the government's lack of foresight and planning is preventing most people from even accessing the site at all, we might have to wait a little bit longer.
I personally think Obama is full of it like his track record has been the last term, so I'm kind of anxiously awaiting to see what reality is compared to what he said about it back in 2009.
i plan on writing in de auxilary kitchen for mayor.
you say that "the numbers... don't".

my daughter, my hubby, cupcakes... life is sweet!
One thing you should know about me right off the bat: I seriously love weddings. Simple, extravagant, quirky or classic, I love being there and I love being the one to capture it all for you.
Before I shot weddings, I was a bride. I met and fell in love with my husband Henry, and our wedding was a day I will definitely never forget! It was during our engagement that I fell in love with both weddings and photography--and I knew that I wanted to bring these two passions together. Since then, I have never looked back.
Today I am a wife, mother, and passionately committed to photographing weddings. I live in Vancouver with my husband, daughter and our lazy pug Delphi, and I wouldn't have it any other way.
I am truly blessed to be so lucky as to love what I do.

Just a week before their showdown with the Florida State Seminoles, the seventh-ranked Miami Hurricanes first had to deal with the Wake Forest Demon Deacons coming in to Sunlife Stadium. The 'Canes were 26-point favorites before the game started, and Wake Forest was having none of that.
In the end, though, Miami was able to hold off a valiant upset bid from head coach Jim Grobe and crew, 24-21.
Late in the fourth quarter after Wake Forest was able to take a 21-17 lead after a 44-yard catch-and-run play from QB Tanner Price to Dominique Gibson, the 'Canes drove 73 yards in ten plays and capped it off with a one-yard Duke Johnson TD run with 53 seconds left to put this one away.
Once again, Johnson was the backbone of this Miami offense, rushing for 168 yards on 30 carries with two touchdowns, including that game-winner.
It wasn't as easy as expected, but now Miami can look ahead to their eventual undefeated, top ten showdown with Florida State next week, assuming that the 'Noles take care of business today against N.C. State.
Wake Forest drops to 4-4 on the year now, but still have a chance to clinch themselves a bowl berth within the next four games if they can pull off two more victories.

Unless you have stood next to a Bell/Boeing V-22 Osprey tiltrotor–and you won't be able to at Le Bourget this week because it's not here–it is difficult to fully comprehend what an impressive piece of engineering it is and what a struggle of wills it must have taken to bring it to this stage.
The first Bell/Agusta BA609 tiltrotor performed its first full conversion to airplane mode in Texas this past August. The maneuver has become routine, and the ground-breaking aircraft has gone on to pass the 250-knot airspeed milestone.
On November 9, the second Bell/Agusta BA609 tiltrotor prototype made its maiden flight in Italy. The flight took place at an Italian Air Force airfield in Cameri, near Milan. The 52-minute first flight was quickly followed by more test flights. As of November 15, the aircraft had flown in helicopter mode only.
Last week's transatlantic hop to Farnborough by two Bell Boeing V-22 Osprey tiltrotors proved the long-range self-deployment capability of the revolutionary tilt-rotor. The daily flying display here by Bell Boeing test pilot Steve Grossmeyer is sure to be one of the highlights for show visitors.
The second prototype of the Bell/Agusta BA609 tiltrotor (S/N 60002) logged its first flight on November 9 at AgustaWestland's facility in Cameri, Italy. During the flight, which lasted 52 minutes, the nacelle/rotors were tilted 15 degrees forward of vertical thrust. BA609 S/N 60003 is already at Cameri and S/N 60004 is on the assembly line in Fort Worth, Texas.
Bell/Agusta's BA609 looks nothing like the finished article in the VMSIL. In place of a fuselage and wings, the tiltrotor's systems, interfaced with an aircraft flight-simulation host computer, are spread across three separate areas in the lab.
Pietro Venanzi took the left seat in the BA609 during the tiltrotor's return to flight status, at Bell's XworX center near Fort Worth, Texas, on June 3. The 80-minute hop in aircraft one (A/C1), witnessed by AIN, was not the Italian test pilot's first time at the controls of the tiltrotor. He had taken them on several occasions alongside project test pilot Roy Hopkins, during the first flight-test phase between February and June 2003.
The first Bell/Agusta BA609 tiltrotor made full conversion to airplane mode near Fort Worth, Texas, in late July. On the eve of returning to Italy to take the reins of aircraft two, Agusta test pilot Pietro Venanzi briefed AIN on what the companies learned from this fundamental expansion of the flight envelope.
Coming off what CEO Mike Redenbaugh called "Bell's best year in decades," the company plans to unveil–literally–a new light helicopter this morning at 11:30 a.m. here at Heli-Expo.
The second Bell Agusta BA609 (S/N 60002) made its first ground run on July 13 at AgustaWestland's facility in Cameri, Italy. First flight of S/N 60002 is expected in the third quarter. Bell Agusta will manufacture four prototype BA609 tiltrotors for flight-testing in the U.S. and Italy to obtain scheduled certification in 2009.

Winter makes me think of summer. Winter temps make me cold, therefore thinking of summer. Blue skies and bugs warm my soul. Therefore, these pics help me through the winter months of snow, sleet, rain, ice, wool socks, down jackets, toques, mittens…you know the drill. So, hope this infuses some warmth into your day!

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"We ordered this invitation and RSVP card in Almond with a solid almond back on the matte white stock, and could not be more pleased with the decision! The design is so lovely, just perfect for my daughter's outdoor garden-style wedding. It has just the right soft, vintage feel we were looking for. The paper quality is excellent, they look and feel great. The design review process is extremely helpful - our reviewer made a couple of changes that improved what we had submitted - and the turnaround was incredibly fast. The final product was exactly what we expected and were hoping for ... no complaints or disappointment whatsoever. We highly recommend this product!"
"Paper and print quality were perfectly acceptable, but not remarkably good. Design of course is beautiful, absolutely lovely, not to mention a multi-generational people-pleaser! My grandmother said it was the most beautiful wedding invitation she'd ever seen, and I'm inclined to agree. Customer service was extremely competent, prompt, and obliging, I can't say that enough. We had several changes made, and they were all completed within hours of our submitting the request."
"The paper quality is very good and the printing is excellent. Shipping is very fast even in Italy and the staff of Wedding Paper Divas is really nice and helpful. I would recommend anyone to purchase on this website! My vote is EXCELLENT, I love Wedding Paper Divas."
"I highly recommend this product. The design team was very quick to respond to any changes that I had and made the card to my liking. I received my invites really quick. The overall product was really nice and I am very satisfied with the overall experience."
"This card was wonderful! The colors are exactly as shown, and the printing is rich and of good quality. The textured paper adds a nice touch that makes the card look and feel classy. The paper is thick and durable. I ordered mine with rounded edges, which I think makes them look simple and beautiful. Great product all around!"

There was NO VOTE DOCTORING at KENYATTA UNIVERSITY! - VC OLIVE MUGENDAPolitics 06:46
Saturday March 16, 2013 - Kenyatta University Vice Chancellor Olive Mugenda has defended the ongoing debate on social media that Kenyatta University rooms were being used by the IEBC to doctor the results.
In a statement she sent to the press on Friday evening, the VC said the materials of the IEBC which were found in one of the rooms, were in the institution because KU was used as a tallying centre by the IEBC.
"IEBC hired the premises on February 22 up to March 15. I am informed IEBC was to clear the room today but word went around through social media that votes were being tallied there. The students reacted and demanded to know what IEBC staff were doing," Prof Mugenda said.
Mugenda said she will apprehend the students who torched the IEBC car saying she will set a committee to probe the issue.
Mugenda's remarks were also echoed by Inspector General of police David Kimaiyo who confirmed that the institution was used by electoral authorities.
A student by name Paul Ochieng said they became suspicious after noticing strange people entering and leaving a room that had been marked out of bounds.
The student informed Budalangi MP Ababu Namwamba and Millie Odhiambo who went running to the institution.
Two IEBC vehicles were burnt to ashes as police engaged the students in running battles.
Later it was found that the materials which have been locked in the room were jackets, stamps, marker pens, ballot boxes, empty ballot papers for Presidential, Governor and Women Representative for Nairobi County.

Lt. Jacqueline "Jack" Daniels has seen humanity at its most depraved and terrifying. She's lost loved ones. Come close to death countless times. But she always manages to triumph over evil. Luther Kite is humanity at its most depraved and terrifying. He's committed unthinkable acts. Taken human life for the sheer pleasure of it. He is a monster among monsters, and no one has ever caught him. Each is the best at what they do. Peerless. Unmatched.
Until now...
In Luther's experience, people are weak. Even the strong and fearless break too easily. He wants a challenge, and sets his depraved sights on Jack. But with a baby on the way, Jack is at her most vulnerable. She's always been a fighter, but she's never had so much to fight for. So he's built something especially for Jack. His own private ninth circle of hell--a nightmare world in a forgotten place from which no one has ever escaped.
It's J.A. Konrath's greatest heroine versus Blake Crouch's greatest villain in Stirred, the stunning conclusion to both Konrath's Lt. Jacqueline "Jack" Daniels thriller series and Crouch's Andrew Z. Thomas series.
Only one can survive. And it won't be who you think.
J.A. Konrath: Rumor also has it this is the last Andrew Z. Thomas/Luther Kite novel. [They also appear in Desert Places, Locked Doors, Break You, and Serial Killers Uncut.]
BC: So...are the rumors true?
JAK: You tell me.
BC: Pretty much. Yes. Yes, they are 100 percent true.
JAK: Well, what if they offered us a lot of money to write another book?
BC: No way. We've discussed this. We're done. But just for the sake of argument--how much are we talking?

BCS National Championship Game
Hosted by the Fiesta Bowl
When it comes to sports, Arizona is not just another pretty place.
The 2011 Tostitos BCS National Championship Game was the latest showcase event for a state whose reputation as a superb host is on par with its legendary scenic beauty.
The Fiesta Bowl has hosted seven national championships, an NCAA record among all bowls and joins the state's growing list of championship events.
The Valley also has been the scene of two Super Bowls, two NBA Finals, NCAA men's and women's basketball tournament regional's, NASCAR races and the Waste Management Phoenix Open.
The Valley also has four major pro sports teams- the Major League Baseball's Arizona Diamondbacks, the NFL's Arizona Cardinals, the NHL's Phoenix Coyotes and the NBA's Phoenix Suns, the state's first big league franchise, along with the WNBA's Phoenix Mercury, winners of two WNBA titles.
And don't forget Major League Baseball spring training, which attracts hundreds of thousands of visitors each February and March.
"The Valley has become a premier destination for sports enthusiasts from across the nation." Fiesta Bowl Chairman of the Board Duane Woods said. "We're thrilled to be a part of such a vibrant environment, and we're grateful for the opportunity to host another world-class event at a challenging time for our state's economy."
Fiesta Bowl officials and volunteers are justifiably proud of their critical role in Arizona's sports boom. The not-for-profit organization annually stages the Buffalo Wild Wings Bowl in Tempe and the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl in Glendale, and on January 10, 2011 it hosted the Tostitos BCS National Championship Game. It's the second time the Fiesta Bowl has "triple-hosted" three major bowl games – a unique feat in college athletics.
The Fiesta Bowl's growth from Western upstart to national powerhouse mirrors Arizona's rise in the sporting world.
When the Fiesta Bowl was born in 1971, few could have foreseen a time when the Valley would grab the national sporting spotlight. Phoenix was a dusty town with only one major pro sports team – the Suns, who played in aging Arizona Veterans Memorial Coliseum on Phoenix's West Side.
The Valley's population exploded over time, and that helped attract a bounty of big-time sports teams and events.
"People are coming here from all over the country, and they're bringing their love of sports with them," Phoenix Mayor Phil Gordon told The Associated Press as the Valley hosted the Super Bowl in February 2008.

Skagit County Pub. Hosp. Dist. No. 304 v. Skagit County Pub. Hosp. Dist. No. 1
Justia.com Opinion Summary: At issue in this case was a dispute regarding one rural public hospital district's ability to provide services once it acquired a medical group that operated outside its boundaries (and within the boundaries of another's). The superior court granted a writ of prohibition against Skagit Valley to stop from operating within United General's boundaries. Skagit Valley challenged the superior court's decision to issue the writ. But finding that the trial court properly granted the writ of prohibition, the Supreme Court affirmed.Download as PDF

Authorities say prepaid credit cards are becoming easy targets for thieves. News10NBC is told the most common trick is over the phone.
Thieves claim to be a utility company, threatening to cut service over a late payment. After that, it's as easy as handing over the numbers on the back of the card.
Officers say those companies will never ask for money right over the phone and that once money is taken off the card, you can't get it back.

|The vascular architecture of the supravaginal and vaginal parts of the human uterine cervix: a study using corrosion casting and scanning electron microscopy.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 22844876 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|The aim of this study was to visualize and describe the vascular architecture of the vaginal and supravaginal parts of the human uterine cervix. Uteri collected at autopsy (n = 42) were perfused via the afferent vessels with fixative followed by Mercox resin. After polymerization of the resin, corrosion was performed. The obtained vascular casts of the cervix, visualizing all vessels including capillaries, were examined using scanning electron microscopy. Both in the vaginal and supravaginal parts of the cervix, four distinct vascular zones were distinguished - the outer zone containing large arteries and veins, the arteriole and venule zone, the endocervical mucosal capillaries zone and the pericanalar zone containing small veins and capillaries. In the pericanalar zone ran small veins, responsible for draining the mucosal capillaries. Both in the muscular layer, as well as in the pericanalar zone, arterioles and venules passed close to each other, often adjoining. This study introduces the idea of two systems responsible for draining blood from the mucosal capillaries. It is also the first to suggest the possible existence of a countercurrent transport between adjoining veins and arteries.

WOLVERINE goes to the carnival! We have set pics and a spy report here!!!
Ahoy,squirts! Quint here. WOLVERINE is shooting in Australia at the moment and now they're doing some location stuff... you know what that means! Spy pics and reports will start flowing in! Let's start with the report and that'll be followed by some pics! Enjoy!
Hey Harry Long time reader, first time contributor. I have a small tidbit about the Wolverine prequel coming up that you may be interested in. An article ran in the Sydney Morning Herald earlier this week that said they would be doing an overnight shoot for Wolverine in Federal Park this Friday night and that fans should beware because security would be tight. Taking this as somewhat of a challenge my mate and I decided to tool up and see if we could sneak onto the set. We arrived at the location just after nightfall dressed in suitably dark attire and proceeded to try and sneak in past security. The set was pretty cool. They had sealed off a fairly large section of the park and done it up as a carnival with lots of bright lights, some rides and a Ferris Wheel and various attractions. There were a lot of extras milling around in typical carnival attire such as mimes, clowns etc. We made it past security and into the restricted area and were wandering around through the trailers and such but couldn't really get close enough to the set to see much, although we did go past Ralph Winter and John Palermo's trailers. We doubled back around and discovered there was an area where we could get quite a good view of the set and that was actually open to the public with security letting us stand quite close. Unfortunately all of the lights really messed up my camera and none of the photos turned out very well. We saw someone who looked like Will.i.am from the Black Eyes Peas wearing a purple jacket and sporting an afro walking around the carnival set and conferring with the director, but what I found most interesting was the set dressing of the sideshow attraction. There was one that had a picture of a man with a beard in a top hat called Dr Freak advertising his freak show with a woman called 'Elastina' who I assume is going to be a mutant. There was also a three headed baby. It'll be interesting to see how this ties in to the film. If you run this you can call me 'The Man Who Japed'.
And then we have a series of pics taken by another spy, known in the talkbacks as "hallmitchell." No actors are in them, but you can get a feeling of this carnival atmosphere. Enjoy!

As On Set Script Doctor For WOLVERINE...
by Buzz Maverik
...I am not authorized to tell you about this scene, but I will.
In a lighthearted, comic relief moment, Wolverine and Colossus take their gals (respectively: Mariko Yashida and Juno Pryde) to the carnival on a double date. The boys get the bright idea to win stuff animals for the ladies.
Wolverines keen senses indicate that the dart is weighted, so he has Colossus do a fastball special and throw him at the target, which he slices in half.
When the carnie attempts to give them only one stuffed animal, Wolverine says, "I'm the best in the world at what I do, and what I do isn't very nice."
To which the carnie replies, "Who talks like that?"
Suddenly, a team of carnival themed mutants attack our boyz. There's Ms. Meth; Cyteeth; X-Con; and Teardroptattoo.
Wolvie says: "Music to my ears, bub. I was spoilin' for a good scrap."
To which the original carnie (played by me in a cameo) says: "Who talks like that?"

posters? suck?
by zom-bot.com
someone said up there, the posters are way too modern...for any time period, but esp if this is taking place in the past. i see a very retro truck. even if you've been to a modern carnival, the attraction art is ugly, naive style. i guess mybse they are making enough cash from the wolvie shows they hired their own graphic designer and ordered up some high quality UV print banners.
 as repeated above, this nitpick bugs me too.

IRON-MAN ...and electronic voice alteration.
by JDanielP
Since this superhero talkback is still live on the major board, I wanted to repeat how important it is that Tony Stark's voice be electronically altered when he is in the IRON-MAN suit. Of coarse, it's a given that the original design does not feature such sophistication, considering the circumstances, obviously. -Being that I'm a rather passionate fan, I just want to make sure that all the bases are covered. I have so much faith in the IRON-MAN movie, from what I've seen thus far. However, at the same time, I do NOT want to see (or in this case, hear) a surprise screw-up. I mean, can you imagine Darth Vader's voice any other way? IRON-MAN's voice does require some attention. His "word balloons" look differently in the comic books for good reason. Please cover your bases, Fav! (I figure it was something that I didn't NEED to say...but just had to say it, anyway.)

…Populated with midgets and knife jugglers and so on. The time period is hard to tell. The "hero" cars were from the 1950s, but the clothing of the extras looked more modern than that. I saw Hugh Jackman at close range and he had a different hairstyle. But this was just before he left. Also, that's me in the photo. Thanks for publishing it Quint.

Mr Freak and Mr Sinister
by Mr Writer
Well spotted BuckNasty1138! I heard a rumour Sinister might have a blink and you'll miss it cameo in a scene featuring Gambit. Maybe the carnival is a cover for Sinister's experiments and that's where Logan meets Remy Le Beau. It would fit quite nicely with comic continuity.

I was actually alittle surprised that nobody made that connection earlier...because it was the first thing that i thought of when i saw the pictures. I definitely think it would be a very realistic take on Mr Sinister...having him doing experiments in a carnival of freaks..instead of doing them in the Savage Land on freaks...the Savage Land will never work in the movies, and i'm glad because i never liked the Savage Land at all!

Where's the photo of the kitchen sink?
by kevred
...because this movie seems to have thrown in everything but that. Doesn't it seem like this is about 30 movies thrown into a blender?
I'll say it again: I really like Wolverine, I really like Jackman, and I have zero interest in this movie. It's hard to screw up such an inherently good thing as a simple Wolverine movie, but this is looking more and more like one of those designed-by-committee things with too many elements that distract from the central character. Hope I'm wrong, but evidence to the contrary is thin so far.

by oofmusic
If you recall, in the Blob's first appearance in X-Men comics, he was a sideshow freak in a carnival...since the Blob has been cast, I'd imagine this is where his story begins.

Nassau Police Union Sues to End Wage-Freeze
Mineola - (WALK) Nassau County's largest police union is going to court to end a wage freeze imposed by a state financial control board and recover back pay from when the freeze was imposed in 2011.
The lawsuit was filed by the Police Benevolent Association in State Supreme Court in Mineola Tuesday. It names the Nassau Interim Finance Authority (NIFA), Nassau Comptroller George Maragos, and County Executive Edward Mangano.
NIFA was created by New York State in 2000, and took over the county's finances in 2011. At the time NIFA declared a state of financial emergency and froze all contractual pay increases, including those for police. A federal panel reportedly upheld the wage freeze in September.
County Executive Mangano reportedly met with new, NIFA Chairman Jon Kaiman last weekend to discuss a renegotiated, tentative police contract, Mangano says will generate $320 million in savings.
A similar suit to end the wage freeze was filed last week by the Civil Service Employees Association, Nassau's largest county union.

EmilyEm said:
A Chinese boy William is left in a Seattle orphanage in the 1920s. In 1934, when he sees a poster advertising a variety show with a singer named Willow Frost, he believes it's his mother. That begins his journey to discover who she is and why she left him. Jamie Ford tells another wonderful story about families; what ties them together and tears them apart. It's a cruel tale of what society thought morally right for young women bearing children out of wedlock. In the course of this one readers will also be immersed in 1930s Seattle's Chinese community, Prohibition, the Great Depression and the changing world of the music and movie industry when radios came to people's homes and movies became 'talkies.'

Ontario wants to keep children smiling.
The Healthy Smiles program officially launched Wednesday across Ontario, including at the Thunder Bay District Health Unit. The program will provide no-cost oral health services to children 17 and under living in low-income households who don't already have dental coverage.
The services will cover check-ups, fillings, visits, x-rays, scaling, cleanings but not, emergency oral health care, cosmetic services or orthodontics services such as braces.
To qualify, children have to be from Ontario, have no access to dental care and be a member of a family with an Adjusted Family Net Income of $20,000 per year or below.
Even though the financial cut to register may appear low, Thunder Bay's Healthy Smiles facilitator Tiina Ahokas said there's some financial documents parents should watch out for.
"The financial documentation that we need to see is the Canada child tax benefits notice," Ahokas said.
"It is an adjusted family income. Canada Revenue would have taken all of those adjustments into consideration of both parents and the benefits coming into the family. The adjusted level is quite low but I think families should look at their benefit notice to determine if they really are eligible."
She said Ontario chose that cut off based off the child tax benefit and is consistent with what the Ministry of Health and Long Term Care considers low income.
She added that she would work with families to see if they are eligible.
Ontario's chief medical officer of health reported that one in five Ontarians don't visit their dentist regularly because of financial reasons. In Ontario, low income households have tooth decay rates as high as three times greater than high income households.
Ruth Currie, a registered dental hygienist with the health unit, has looked over children's teeth for 34 years and said having the Healthy Smiles program is the first step in making sure everyone has health teeth.
"For the most part children's teeth aren't bad," Currie said.
"We do see children in a bad way. Some have cavities some have more than others do. If they start young with healthy teeth and they get some education as to how to keep their teeth healthy then there are going to have their teeth healthy for the rest of their lives."
She said it can be difficult to tell a child that they can't help them because they don't have programs to assist everyone.
But she and many other dental hygienist work hard to try and find a dentist who will see them, she said.

Phew! The competition was mighty fierce during last week's Dancing Diva Ibrawlator, which resulted in the crowning of Miss Britney Spears as our winner. But there were plenty of divas that we missed out on for the first go-around, so we knew we had to do it (…baby) one more time.
In honor of Sony's upcoming Battle of the Year, we're pitting our favorite dancing divas against each other to figure out who serves up the best choreographed routines.
It's time to decide once again. Who throws it down better: Janet Jackson, Paula Abdul, Shakira, Nicole Scherzinger, Miley Cyrus or Rihanna?
Place your vote for the best dancing diva below. The winner will be announced on September 24 at 5 PM EST!

A motorcyclist died Thursday morning after an unusual accident just north of White Rock Lake.
Utility workers had shut down the right lane of eastbound East Northwest Highway between East and West Lawther Boulevard.
Though there were cones in the right lane along with a flashing yellow arrow sign on a trailer, a 19-year-old man in an SUV plowed through the cones and struck the arrow sign, sending it tumbling into the center lane.
That SUV driver was not seriously hurt, but as he got out of the car to check out the damage to his car, the accident created a backup behind him.
Police say about 2:50 a.m., a motorcycle driver in the backup decided to cut around the other cars and drive past them -- but didn't see a piece of metal debris sticking out of the broken arrow sign.
The debris struck the motorcyclist in the face as he drove past, causing him to crash. Though he was wearing a helmet, the metal bar shattered the man's face shield and caused major injuries.
The motorcyclist was rushed to the hospital where he later died. His name has not yet been released.
Police are investigating the if the 19-year-old who originally caused the accident in his SUV was under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
