ISU Sociologist Comments On Political Activities
(Ames) -- With the countless political ads either heard on the radio, or seen on television, is it any wonder the public may grow tired of the constant political bashing? However, an Iowa State University Sociology professor says regardless of what we think about political ads, they do have an impact upon how we view the candidates. Stephen Sapp says the political ads are created to stir up emotions. He says the creators of the ads are skilled at the "psycology of outrage".
Listen to
Sapp says for some people they may get tired of the negative ads, and it may have a backlash effect taking away the incentive to participate in the voting political process, but yet, he contends those negative ads still help form our opinion.
Listen to
Each candidate obviously wants votes, but they also seek endorsements. Sapp says an endorsement from a respected entity can indeed help sway a voter's opinion.
Listen to
The ISU Sociology Professor says political debates can sometimes bring out the worst in candidates, but again, he says debates do help influence our opinion.

17 Year Old Boy Facing Vehicular Homicide
SAC CITY, Iowa (AP) - A judge says a 17-year-old facing vehicular homicide charges in the deaths of two teenagers will be prosecuted as an adult.
District Associate Judge Adria Kester says the 17-year-old does not have reasonable prospects of rehabilitation if he remains in juvenile court.
The 17-year-old is charged with two counts of vehicular homicide in Sac County Juvenile Court. Court records do not yet indicate any filings in district court. Sac County Attorney Ben Smith will have several weeks to file additional information.
The 17-year-old was driving a pickup that collided in August with a car driven by 16-year-old Bailey Jacobsen. She and her passenger, 16-year-old Lindsey Quirk, were killed.
Authorities say the 17-year-old's blood alcohol level was above the legal limit for minors driving.

The Arkansas group is hosting a Feed the Funnel event in Sioux City, Iowa, on Saturday at the Tyson Events Center. In a two-hour shift, a person is expected to pack an average of about 250 meals. Each meal costs 25 cents, and each participant is asked to donate about $63 for them.
More than 105 groups in 11 Iowa counties are served by the Food Bank of Siouxland.

Score from 157 reviews Wonderful
Decor, price, breakfast, staff help.
Location as far from main roads and within old residential houses of medina hence difficult to navigate for first few days
Very helpful staff, organized the car and was very helpful with the whole trip planing. Great place.
W-lan available, but internet connection was not always stable. Hard to find, when new in Marrakech, good city plan, or mobile navigation recommended.
Hotel was nice Rooms were nice
The language barrier was really tough, if you do not know French it will be difficult but not impossible to communicate. Owner was helpful with taxi's.
Loved our room (Berber Room) Good food Beautiful relaxing riad Great pool Wonderful accommodating staff
Couldn't get onto the wifi
Nice and lovely swimmingpool, the roofterrace, nicely decorated rooms, the breakfast and friedly staff, Fred (the owner) who is very helpful with all your requests.
Nothing really to dislike, only point to comment on is the location which is in the north of the Souks. It is a 15 minute walk if you don't get lost, but a taxi (0.80cents) is more convenient.
Great location walking distance to all points of interest but in a quiet area. Staff were amazing and so welcoming. The riad is beautiful and the room (Berber) was stunning. Lovely roof terrace and communal areas. Will definitely return and recommend to friends.
No negatives!
Frederic and his staff really made our stay special. The help and advice he gave us on our first visit to Marrakech was brilliant.
The decor was lovely and Frederick was very welcoming and friendly! Also the cats are lovely.
The first night our air-con was broken and so it was rather uncomfortable but they fixed it the next morning and it was most comfortable.
Frederick was fantastic and always available to provide help and suggestions. I only wish I had been able to chat with him more, but I unfortunately do not speak French! Even so, we were able to get by easily. The Riad was clean and well maintained. The wifi worked well, which is always a plus. Breakfast was simple breads, jams, coffee/tea and juice and eggs were available upon request. I also stayed for dinner one evening which was great - highly recommend.
I can't think of one thing I didn't like - all was great.
This was a stunningly artistic, authentically restored Riad, reminiscent of Ancient Greek, Moroccan life, enhanced by the creative capacity of Patrick, who has added a wow factor at every level, the design, decor, photographs and paintings, inner courtyard with pool, arched verandas, many places to relax, our room was enormous with 4 poster bed, all add to the welcome impressions. The hospitality, friendliness in a convivial, homely environment, where conversation was natural and informative assisted us in our first experience of Marrakesh. Patrick and Frederick were able to organise anything we wanted to do and we felt very supported staying in the middle of the Medina. This is a hidden gem and a wonderful place to really get the feeling of Morocco in a real way. The young lady who served us breakfast and dinner was such a good cook and considering we were there in Ramadan, we admired her commitment to work around this. Thankyou Patrick and Frederick
Nothing to dislike here.
Frederic! The staff. The road. The food!
No internet in room
Frederic has offered all kind of advise and bookings. Nice environment to share experiences.
The neighborhood is in a corner of the Medina with a nice walking distance to the Center, not a problem if you have GPS or took a taxi. We didn't and we have experience to be lost several times, doesn't matter if you are on holidays and you want to experience such adventure. So it is not bad but be aware.
Beautiful riad with very good standard accommodation and service. Breakfast was good, but the dinner we had there twice was amazing. The owner, Patrick, was extremely helpful. For this budget range, excellent value for money.
Nothing worth mentioning.
The room was very comfortable and the staff was very helpful.
It was deep in the medina and I had some problems with harassment at night.
This raid is open and spacious, having been to others this makes it airy and quiet, a real bonus. Patrick is relaxed, helpful and friendly, a great proprietor. Do eat in, it was some of the best food we've had although not really promoted. Lovely roof terrace to chill on. Comfortable and very clean. Very reasonable cost for what you get.
Location can be hard to find, just get a taxi home. The location is more than compensated by the price.
The riad is beautiful and the pictures do not do it justice. The service is phenomenal and you will be treated excellently by both Patrick and Frederick the managers and the support staff. Everyone will go out of their way to make your stay as hassle free and memorable as possible. I do not think you could stay anywhere better in this budget range. People have commented on the location being difficult, it isn't really, after a couple of trips out of the riad you will work it out.
the staff, the decor, the friendliness and always eager to help was a lovely attitude to be surrounded with during holidays at Riad Ka. The food was amazing there and breakfast always seemed to be ready when one wanted to eat :-) you could always ask for suggestions and Ferderic & Patrick both are lovely and considerate. beautiful room. Its imp to get taxi for first time to the Riad as its quite hidden.
Can't rave enough about Riad Ka! The Riad is beautifully designed and decorated with a great eye to detail, a true oasis of peace and beauty inside the chaos of the Medina. The owner has been super helpful and friendly during the whole stay. Definitely recommended and would book again indeed!
Beautiful room (Fes), great breakfast and dinner, very friendly and helpful staff. Frederic organized the taxi from the airport and even went out to buy tickets for a day trip. The Riad is based in the north of medina and not so easy to find on your first day but if you struggle finding your way a taxi is just about 3-4 € from the central square.
It was a great experience with friendly and hospitable staff. We ate once in the Riad and the food was amazing. The location can be a bit intimidating but to us it was all part of the authentic experience of living amongst the locals. It was easy to visit the modern part of the city once you got used to it. We only got lost on the first day but after that got used to the maze of little streets. The Riad itself was brilliant and we shall be returning there with our children next year.
The wi if was only available in the reception area but we don't go on holiday to have wi fi so to is it wasn't a big issue!
Can't thank the staff and Frederic enough. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Riad Ka.
Wonderful accommodation in a quiet area, with great facilities.
Going to and from the main square was tricky, as needed to travel via the Souks each time, and as anyone knows easy to get lost in them!
The riad itself, beautiful maroccon experience..
Friendly staff, very helpful, good tips. Beautiful riad, the rooms are fantastic!!
It is a long walk to the big square (25 minutes)
Best riad in Marrakech, awesome people, amazing place
Nothing, everythin perfect

From the Publisher ONE OF LIBRARY JOURNAL''S BEST ROMANCES OF THE YEAR In this new masterpiece of historical romance from the acclaimed, USA Today bestselling Sherry Thomas,  a headstrong beauty is rescued by the notorious rake she has always despised...       Helena Fitzhugh understands perfectly well that she would be ruined should her secret love affair be discovered. So when a rendezvous goes wrong and she is about to be caught in the act, it is with the greatest reluctance that she accepts help from David Hillsborough, Viscount Hastings, and elopes with him to save her reputation.        Helena has despised David since they were children—the notorious rake has tormented her all her life. David, on the other hand, has always loved Helena, but his pride will never let him admit the secrets of his heart.        A carriage accident the day after their elopement, however, robs Helena of her memory—the slate is wiped clean. At last David dares to reveal his love, and she finds him both fascinating and desirable. But what will happen when her memory returns and she realizes she has fallen for a man she has sworn never to trust?

The Drunken Botanist by Amy Stewart
New Cookbook
Spring officially arrives this week, and what better time for the release of Amy Stewart's delightful new book, The Drunken Botanist. As you're planning your garden, foraging for wild plants, or simply looking for a good cocktail recipe (and cocktail party conversation topics!), you don't want to miss this entertaining and illuminating guide to "the plants that create the world's great drinks."

Beer Review: Brother Thelonious from North Coast Brewing Company

Why You Should Drink Beer from a Glass
Beer Sessions
There is no denying the satisfaction inherent in popping the cap off a beer at the end of a long day and swigging straight from the bottle. But. Pouring that frosty cold beer into a pint glass has its own rewards. Perhaps you've been turned off to this notion after hearing a beer geek friend expound one too many times on the subject, but give me a chance to persuade you. If you love craft beer, pour it in a glass.
Beer Review: Burton Baton from Dogfish Head Craft Brewery
Beer Sessions
With all the amazing one-off beers that Dogfish Head constantly churns out, I sometimes forget about their stable of year-round workhorses. This was my first time trying their Burton Baton, an oak-aged imperial IPA, and hooo boy! Workhorse it may be, but this is definitely one prize stallion of a beer.
A New Way to Get Your Brew: Start (or Join!) a Brewpub Co-op
Beer Sessions
Have you yearned for the kind of neighborhood bar that has an entire line-up of terrific craft brews, but can't quite see yourself quitting your day job to open one yourself? I'll raise my hand here, for sure. Here's an idea: start a brewpub co-op. This is a real thing and it's picking up popularity in many major cities.
Beer Review: Bock from Narragansett Beer
Beer Sessions
Bless Narragansett for brewing a traditional Helles Bock for the traditional welcoming of spring! Granted, spring might still feel rather far off for most of us (despite the groundhog's prediction), but this honey-hued and honey-scented lager will help make those warmer days feel just a tad bit closer.
No Brewery, No Problem: Gypsy Brewers Take Brewing to the Next Level
Beer Sessions
Considering that opening your own brewery can put you in a massive financial hole, the whole idea of "gypsy" brewing has definite appeal. You make friends with established brewers, use their equipment to create a special one-off brew, and then move on when the project is complete. It's a win-win situation that has resulted in some pretty amazing brews that wouldn't exist any other way.
The Naked Brewer by Christina Perozzi and Hallie Beaune

Players suspended Aaron Wilson
Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Golden Tate called cornerbacks Brandon Browner and Walter Thurmond selfish after being suspended by the NFL for substance-abuse violations.
"Everyone should realize where this team is," Tate said Tuesday on 710 ESPN radio."You are affecting way more than yourself. I feel like that was kind of a selfish move on both those guys part. But it is what it is. The show must go on and that's what we're gonna do."
Thurmond became the seventh Seahawks player since 2011 to be suspended for violating either the substance-abuse policy or NFL performance-enhancing drug policy.
Thurmond is suspended without pay for the next four games for violating the NFL's substance abuse policy.
Browner is expected to be suspended for one-year for substance abuse.
The Seahawks have signed former San Francisco 49ers cornerback Perrish Cox to replace Browner on the active roster.
"We dealt with it today,'' Seahawks coach Pete Carroll said. "We talked about it in meetings and made sure we owned up to it. We'll take care of business. This team is very strong about where we're going and what we're doing. Just because someone slips doesn't mean we're not on track.
"We're very disappointed those guys will not be able to play with us. It's kind of how it goes at times. I don't know that we can expect to be perfect. We'd like to be, but that isn't the case. You want guys to be on point, but sometimes you're going to be disappointed."

Goffstown wants Dunbarton to pay even if it leaves district
Goffstown School Board Chairman Philip Pancoast said improvements made at GHS, paid for by $11 million in bonds in 2001, are partially Dunbarton's responsibility even if the district opts for an Authorized Regional Enrollment Area (AREA) agreement with Bow beginning in 2014.
"Dunbarton has taken the position that should its community elect to enter into an AREA plan with the Bow School District in July of 2014, it will no longer have any obligation for repayment of the bonds that funded the renovation of Goffstown High School, which amounts to $880,000," Pancoast said.
Dunbarton has negotiated two AREA agreements - one with Goffstown and one with Bow - and voters must choose at the district meeting March 16 which town will educate thier middle and high school students
According to figures provided by the district's business office, after obtaining a lower interest rate on the bonds in 2010, about $6.75 million is still owed and is expected to be paid by July of 2021.
Pancoast said Dunbarton students have benefited from the improvements made at Goffstown High School, and that repayment should be over the life of the bond, not the life of the AREA agreement.
According to Pancoast, the renovations contributed to the school's re-accreditation with the New England Association of Schools and Colleges.
School Board Chairman Rene Ouelett has previously said that if the agreement expires, Dunbarton is not considered to be withdrawing from it, and that state statute doesn't address the repayment of bonds in the event of an agreement's expiration.
Sarah Browning, policy and law administrator of the Department of Education, said she is unsure if the statute addresses the expiration of an AREA agreement or if there is a disagreement about semantics.
She said if there is a dispute between the towns that can't be resolved they can go to the State Board of Education, which was done recently when the districts disagreed over rental charges billed by Goffstown to the sending districts.
Browning said attorneys could also attempt to resolve the conflict or Goffstown could bring its case to the state Supreme Court.
Pancoast pointed out that the current agreement allows intervention by the State Board of Education, but said that if Dunbarton simply allows the agreement to expire, "they've taken away all of the provisions of the agreement."
Pancoast compared the agreement to a marriage, and said in its new 10-year agreement, Goffstown has gone above and beyond what is required to make sure that marriage stays intact.

We went there because of the good reviews on tripadvisor. At the end we where disappointed. There are much better locations to go. The taste of the food was less then we expected and the service was average.
Chose place based on reviews here and told the hotel to book our table. We were too far away for the free shuttle, so took a cab.
Food was great for us, we stuck to local dishes, including poisson cru, local (not imported peeled) shrimp, and mahi-mahi with coconut and vanilla. All were cooked brilliantly and the shrimp beat anything...
You have to go. Don't hesitate. Good food. Big plates. Take local food.
The chef is awesome.
Great place
French chef.
Sand on the floor.
Eat with your feet in the sand at this casual restaurant. The 5 stars is for food and friendly service, it is a casual setting though, a nice change to some of the upmarket restaurants. We're going back for a 2nd time.
The food was great, I had the mahi mahi in vanilla and coconut milk and my with had tuna in curry sauce. Service was great but the food was even better. They picked us up from our hotel which was awesome. Get out of your resort and support the local restaurants they will pick you up. You will save money...
First of all let me start off by saying I don't write reviews, mostly because I can respect that we all have very different tastes. There is no excuse - however - for the sham at this restaurant. There is clearly some form of referral paid to hotels who send guests there and any money you save on a free...
I thought the food here was really good and the service was even better. Worth getting away from the resorts to experience a great local restaurant.
We were recommended this restaurant by the local guy of Top Jet Ski and we are very greatful he did. I ate the best shrimps ever. the shrimps were from Moorea. My friend took the Tuna with Ananas sauce. Both plates were delicious.
The place does not have any views but the tables are on the sand and you can...
They have a shuttle that pick you up from the intercontinental to the restaurant. Their food is delicious, their prices are correct and the food presentation is sublimisime :) - 4500CFP for the touristic menu with includes an appetizer of your choice, and entree of your choice and a desert! What else can you possibly ask ... Great place for...
Feet in the sand, relaxed, very accommodating with our order an yummy. Very big menu lots of choices.
The app of toast was French bread sliced in half and baked with tomato and Mozzerella with basil and olive oil- simple but great. Local shrimp were delicious. The mussels looked great too.
Beef and chicken in Tahiti just aren't what you'd...

Bow-M-G! Did you get a look at the Bow My Goodness Silver Bow Bracelet?! It's totally adorable with its chunky silver chain and cute little bow charm studded in diamond-like rhinestones. Bow measures .75" wide. Bracelet measures 7" long. Ring and toggle closure. Man made materials. Imported.
I just got this bracelet, and it runs true to size around the wrist, and looks exactly like the picture does.
I bought this bracelet a little over two weeks ago, and it looked fine for the first few days, but after that it began to tarnish despite me being careful to avoid contact with water while wearing it... The tarnish only really shows on the underside of the bow, but it flips around easily so I now need to be careful. It's still a really beautiful piece (I adore bows), but I wish I hadn't payed $12 (or even $9 now) for it, as if you start looking closely at it after a while, it does look cheap.

Historical Traveler Reviews Hotel Phoenicia Valletta
Great Holiday - Step back in time
We have returned from a relaxing few days in Valetta and we stayed at The Meridien (May 2005). We were in a standard room, which was nice and clean and provided everything we needed, but was quite small. We only had breakfast in the hotel which was good, nothing amazing. I can't comment on the restaurant in the evening. The bar is lovely, like stepping back in time, and the staff are really friendly. As the weather was good we spent a bit of time by the pool which was really nice and relaxing, but is quite a walk from the hotel through the gardens, it's nice enough, but nightmare if you forget anything!
It is a very big and grand hotel, there were a few weddings and conferences on when we visited, but this wasn't a problem.
The location of the hotel is brilliant. Perfect to go into Valetta and ideally placed for the buses, which are excellent, cheap and reliable. Buses would probably be too hot/crowded in high season though. We went to St Julien a couple of times for dinner (great restaurants) as Valetta is quiet in the evening and toured some of the island using the buses. All very easy.
The Maltese people are lovely and make you feel very welcome and you feel safe.
Service excellence with a genuine smile
Just occassionally you stumble upon a truly special hotel that stands out from the crowd.
Though part of Le Meridien Chain, entering this hotel is like stepping back into a bygone era. Despite what we had read this was one of the friendliest hotels we have ever stayed in, not in the slightest bit stuffy! Every single member of staff from Chaimbermaid to Waiter to Concierge performed their duities in an exemplary way. All were genuinely friendly and went out of their way to ensure you enjoyed your stay on Malta.
Rooms were nicely decorated and our triple was spacious and had a good view. The lounges and public areas are spectacular. Garden consists of a long walk with a (slightly) heated outdoor pool at the end overlooking the sea.
Food served in the main restaurant was excellent and the half board package we booked via the Internet was good value as it included a bottle of Moet on arrival.
Convenient for the city (less than 2 minutes walk to the city gate) and also buses to all corners of the island depart from the doorstep.
3 or 4 days would be an ideal duration as I am not sure I could do justice to the cuisine for a full week!
This is a very grand old hotel and we enjoyed the experience.
Terrible service
We visited the Le Meridien Malta in December, for one day, just to have some lunch. However, in the first five minutes of being there, we were put off of ever staying there. The atmosphere in there was very cold and aloof. The staff in reception didn't even acknowledge us and there were no smiles or assistance. We went into the palm court lobby lounge, where we understood that there was food and drinks available. There were other people sitting around and snack menus on the table and we saw a waitress for about five seconds, who didn't come to approach us and there was no sign of any food. We sat for a further five minutes, however then realised that we'd be able to get some food anywhere else. Unless you enjoy being in a very cold and haughty environment, you'd be best staying at the Hilton or Westin, like we did. This experience, has put us off ever staying in a Le Meridien hotel, especially after we stayed at one before and had the same experience.
A Great Escape
This is a lovely old hotel, and fantastic if you happen to be a WWII buff as the bar is full of excellent drawings and cartoons of all the old RAF 'chaps' who onced packed the place during its heydey when it was the RAF HQ (the hotel that is, not the bar, or maybe?)
Coming over from Tripoli for 48hrs of R&R it was ideal. The little Bistro stayed open late for us and did a great steak and bott of wine for a reasonable price. Next morning brace yourself for another feast at the breakfast buffet with plenty of bacon and eggs and champagne for the hardy. There is also an excellent hairdressers upstairs run by the delightfully eccentric Charles. He found a taxi for me through into St Julians for a third of the price I paid coming back. Watch out for the taxi drivers the maltese � is stronger than the UK � and its easy to get ripped.
The hotel has a small pool which is accessed via a nice walk through the mature gardens and is a good place to have lunch. From the pool there's a view over Valletta below; not missing much there, Valletta is congested and smoggy.
The only thing I would say about the hotel is that the rooms are tiny, ie 2 twin beds, a tv and a suitcase and it was crammed! However, it is a charming old hotel conveniently located for the airport and for town (and the cashpoint, for those of us from Libya who need an ATM and dose of civilisation).
Quite probably the best hotel in Malta!
My fiancee and I thought we'd spend the last night of our vacation at the Phoenicia in March 2004 -- when it was time to go, we weren't ready to leave!
The Phoenicia is a lovely hotel with an ideal location. Situated immediately opposite Malta's main bus terminal in Floriana, the Phoenicia is a short bus ride away from anyplace you'd like to go. It's fun to sit and enjoy the hotel's afternoon tea service, explore the lovely gardens, or take a walk through beautiful (and often overlooked) Floriana.
Our room was beautifully appointed, although a bit small. We found an outstanding deal on the internet and booked the room for less than half of the normal rate, so no complaints here. The hotel staff provided excellent service, and consistently handled our requests with a smile.
The one and only problem I could imagine with the Phoenicia is that it's pretty far removed from all of the restaurants in Sliema and St. Julian's. Unless you choose to dine at the hotel, you'll need a taxi or bus for dinner. While Valletta has dozens of cafes for lunch, few establishments are open in the evening. Despite this caveat, we'd certainly stay at the Phoenicia again! Even if you can't find a special rate, this hotel is well worth a little extra.
Perfection - Maltese Style
We stayed here for the first few nights of our honeymoon, this hotel is special, the entrance foyer and atrium take you back to the glorios days of the thirties, marble everywhere, attentive staff, friendly and well turned out. The cocktail bar is a welcome retreat at the end of a days sisghtseeing in Valetta. They even organised tickets for us to go to the hypogeum, (the most amazing archeological site ive been to). Avoid this hotel at your peril, its well worth a stay!
A great deal
I agree with the other reviews...a great hotel at a great price. Exudes old world charm, fantastic gardens and pool, and centrally located for sight-seeing in Valetta...what more could you ask for?
Fantastic - go there!
We have stayed at the Phoenicia for three years now. We go to Malta every year to get some sun in February or March.
The hotel is wonderful, a period piece and you feel as if you've been taken back to the 1930s. We always have a harbour view room which has breathtaking views of half the island. The bathrooms are elegant and glamorous and the gardens are beautiful. The staff are amazingly friendly and remember us every time we return.
The best thing of all though is the food. We have always stayed on a bed and breakfast basis so the cost has never been something we've even thought about. Every kind of bread and pastry you can think of, lots of cold meats, cheese and fruit, great coffee and you can even have a glass of Buck's Fizz if you want one!
It's a terrific hotel and well worth every penny spent on a comfortable stay there.
Bogart, where are you?
Got to stay in the Meridian Phoenicia hotel in Malta. January rates brought it into my budget. I don't think I mix well with the rarified strata who stay at five star hotels, but my stay was definitly comfortable! Nice big room, nice big bathrooms! A welcome change from Rome! Breakfast was excellent...but it will take quite a breakfast to justify the 7 Maltese Lira it cost! Thats an expensive bowl of corn flakes! However, the coffee was nearly worth it alone! This is the first time I had Maltese coffee...rich, stronger than American, not as strong as Italian, but all in all, superb. Best part of my trip that coffee... I expected Humphrey Bogart to be sinking into the deep chairs in the lobby. There were a lot of those people who take their vacations here, and don't look like vacationers...you know, the ones who figure they are dressing down by wearing a slightly more colourful tie and only one string of pearls! My jeans, leather jacket and biker hat stood out like a chimney sweep on an ice flow....however civility was the name of the game, and I was made more welcome than I deserved. I liked the place, and I'll be back. Next time, I will remember to bring a tie and blazer and dress for breakfast.
Great location, good hotel
Our 5 nights here were a good experience. The tiled rooms are a bit dated, but tidy and clean. Good A/C. Lounge area is lovely. Staff is a bit stiff and service was spotty at times-forgotten room service items, etc. Location is unbeatable-steps away from buses and central Valetta.
Heated pool is wonderful, nestled right beside ancient fortifications.
Valetta location definitely superior to tourist strips in St. Julian's and Sliema.

We had a good sleep through until about 8.30am and that included regaining the hour we lost in Greece. The only negative was that Ang woke with a sore throat and ears that she felt coming on last night. The day was fine and warm - it was 30' in the late afternoon. Craig did a cardio workout followed by sunbathing. Ang had a bit of a sleep in. The ship was due to arrive in Valletta at 1pm which was good as it gave all on board the opportunity to watch her come in. ...

Bedford Humane Society
Facts about Allie
- Breed: Domestic Shorthair
- Color: Brown Tabby
- Age: Young
- Sex: Female
- Hair: Short
My name is Allie!
Allie's Info...
I am already spayed, up to date with shots, and good with cats.
Hello! My name is Allie! I am a beautiful spotted tabby cat. I came from a big family. I have three brothers and two sisters. Our mom was a feral stray and she secretly had us in a shed. She was a great mom and worked hard to provide us food. One day a nice lady came and caught us when we were about 8 weeks old and took care of us. We were all scared at first but she gave us yummy food and in no time we all decided that love and attention were good things and humans were not scary at all! We all love to play with our toys and love to be petted. I have been spayed, current on my vaccines and tested for FeLV and FIV. I am ready to go live with my forever family. If you are interested in meeting me and or my siblings e-mail email@example.com or call 540-586-6100.
About Bedford Humane Society
About Our Rescue Group...The Bedford Humane Society is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 1994 and dedicated to eliminating the overpopulation of cats and dogs in Bedford County through education, spay/neuter programs, and companion animal adoptions. We are NOT the tax-funded Bedford County shelter on Falling Creek Road, although we do try to help the animals there whenever possible. Our adoptable pets live in volunteer foster homes where they receive the care and attention they deserve while awaiting a permanent home.
Our various programs for Bedford County and City of Bedford residents include::
•A low cost spay/neuter program for area pets
•The construction of a no kill animal shelter, The Vernon D Lybolt Adoption Center, at 829 Ole Turnpike Road in Bedford.
•Find homes for abandoned and homeless animals through our adoption and transport programs.
•Help pet owners with unexpected expenses involving their pets, through our Emergency Fund program.
•Provide humane traps and spay/neuter subsidies for feral cats through our Forgotten Felines program.
•Humane Education program for area Scout troops and schools.
Donate to Our Rescue Group...
Come Meet Our Pets...Until we are able to build our No-Kill Shelter, our adoptable pets live in foster homes throughout Bedford County and surrounding areas. If you are interested in meeting a pet, please submit an adoption application or contact our main office.
We also hold monthly adoption events at our Headquarters and the Bedford Tractor Supply. Visit our website or our Facebook page for dates and times. If you would like to be added to our monthly events email list, please send a request to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Our Adoption Process...Have you discovered a pet you wish to adopt? Great!
Now, the first step is to complete an adoption application on our website at http://bhsva.org/adoptions-home.htm. This is not a commitment to adopt. It is simply the first step in the process.
We will review your application for preliminary approval before asking the foster parent to contact you to set up a time to meet the pet. You may also have concerns about how the animal will fit your home environment. When the foster parent contacts you, you will be able to discuss your concerns with someone who has first-hand experience with the pet.
After you meet the animal, you and the foster parent can decide if this is definitely the forever pet for you.

America Recycles
Does your school?
For the fourth year,
Keep Akron Beautiful
and the
River Valley Paper Co.
are sponsoring a mixed paper drive to highlight the importance of America Recycles Day on Nov. 15.
The drive is open to all Akron Public Schools and selected private and charter schools.
The drive will run from Oct. 20 to Nov. 17.
Competition will be between high schools, between middle schools, and between elementary schools.
The elementary school collecting the most paper will receive a $250 cash prize and a school-wide pizza party.
The winning middle school and high school will each be awarded a $500 cash prize and given a tour of River
Valley Paper for 50 students and faculty.
A special "Most Improved" award of $250 will be given to the school showing the greatest increase in paper
collected between last year and this year.
In an effort to engage the local community, each participating school is asked to submit a list of
35 nearby businesses along with contact info if possible. Keep Akron Beautiful will contact
these businesses to let them know that by contributing their scrap mixed paper to your school,
they can aid your school's effort in the paper drive and, in the process, have their own mixed paper

2014 SAT Results
Majority not college ready
The College Board has released the results of the SAT for the Class of
2014. The scores remained essentially unchanged from previous years.
Out of a possible perfect score of 800 for each subject area, the average (mean)
score achieved for reading was 497, 513 for math, and 487 for writing.
Approximately 1.7 million members of last year's senior class were tested.
Although there is some concern that scores have not improved, of much greater
concern is the fact that only about 43% of those who took the SAT met a standard
that indicated they were ready for credit-earning, college-level classes.
The college-ready standard was reached by the following percentages of test takers:
The SAT is currently undergoing major revisions, but those won't be in place until
2016. (A related story on the updated SAT entitled "The New SAT" appears in the
"Recent Stories" section at the bottom of the left column of this web site.)

A. A. P. recommends:
More Sleep, Later School Start Times for Teens
Got sleepy teens at home or during the school day? The American Academy of
Pediatrics (A.A.P.) suggests that a later morning starting time for schools would
help the situation.
In a statement released August 25, the A.A.P. finds that chronic sleep loss
for middle and high school students has increasingly become the norm.
"Chronic sleep loss in children and adolescents is one of the most common — and easily
fixable — public health issues in the U.S. today," said pediatrician Judith Owens, MD,
FAAP, lead author of the policy statement.
By delaying school start times until at least 8:30, part of the problem of lack of sleep could
be eliminated. (East Middle School begins at 8:00 while East High starts at 8:15.)
Studies cited by the A.A.P. show that most U.S. middle and high school students don't get the
recommended 8.5 to 9.5 hours of sleep on school nights. Add to that the fact that more
than 40% of U.S. public high schools start classes before 8:00 a.m., and you can see why there
are so many sleep deprived teens.

What is a Cluster?
The Akron Public Schools are divided into seven neighborhood groups or clusters
— each headed by the high school located within that cluster. The rest of
the cluster is made up of the middle school that feeds into that high school and the
various elementary schools that feed into that middle school. The clusters were
formed to increase community identity within a large school system.
The East Cluster schools work among themsevles, and
with parent and community groups, to develop a partnership to best serve our student
The cluster concept helps to make a large school system much more personal and responsive
to the needs of its students, parents, and the larger community. The
East Cluster has always been a very active, engaged
cluster with great school and community pride.
