14 June 2012
By Jeff Sauter/Eaton County prosecutor
The recently released PewCenter report on prison terms is an important source of statistical information which deserves careful study for policy use in Michigan.
I want to warn, however, about drawing simplistic conclusions — which some will undoubtedly do in their perpetual advocacy for early release of prisoners or to reduce spending on corrections.
We all desire to spend less on corrections, but wishes for a better world cannot drive public policy. Our criminal justice system needs to retain prison as an option to respond to violent and repetitive crimes.
Michigan has a violent crime problem. We have the most violent crime of the Midwestern states and four of the 12 most violent cities in America. Consequently, I was relieved to see that the authors of the report concluded that "violent and habitual offenders belong behind bars and for a long time."
So, I was puzzled that they sensationalized the cost of longer prison sentences by including violent offenses in their calculations. They headline that Michigan spent $471.9 million as the cost of keeping prisoners longer. But in the body of the report, the potential savings for longer non-violent sentences was $92 million.
That is not a trivial amount, but why did they overstate the potential savings by $379 million if "violent and habitual offenders belong behind bars and for a long time"?
The Pew report also concludes that building prisons to house lower-risk, non-violent offenders, for longer sentences, is not the best way to reduce crime. But, Michiganis not building prisons. This point illustrates a bigger vulnerability of the Pew report: It covers such a broad period of time, back to 1990, that its conclusions are not timely.
Michigan has made numerous, significant changes to sentencing law and procedure. Pew notes that the fastest period in the growth of sentence length nationally occurred between 1995 and 2000 and that, thereafter, most states had moderate growth or leveled off in the length of prison sentence. Since the mid-1990s, Michigan has eliminated mandatory minimum drug sentences, implemented legislative sentence guidelines, required truth in sentencing and raised the felony threshold from $100 to $1,000.
Each of these changes — and changes in the size and practices of the Michigan parole board — have impacted length of prison sentences. So, the Pew study does not answer whether Michigan needs to change practices or whether cost-effective changes have already been made.
Finally, Pew reports that Michigan has the longest overall length of prison stay. I believe that the reason is that Michigan commits to prison as a sentencing option much less than other states do. Initially, 90 percent of Michigan's felons are given a chance on probation or given only a jail sentence. Only 10 percent of our felons are sentenced directly to prison.
Even after one or more probation violations, Michigan's rate of committing felons to prison is about half of the national average! It is no wonder then — that if felons are sent to prison at half the national rate — the prison term is longer when a judge does give up on efforts to reform the offender on probation.
We need to carefully consider the data used in the study and the assumptions that were made to draw comparisons to other states. But we should only examine our current procedures for cost-effectiveness — not rely on decades' old data to indiscriminately slash corrections spending, especially since our violent crime problems persist.

Bring back the Cat of Nine Tails PUBLIC flogging. Show on the 6:00 NEWS. That will GREATLY reduce crime and the cost to the taxpayer.
Next problem?
Why not take advantage of the now-defunct MI film production facilities – bail them out by buying the buildings and converting them to jails. We can lock up more criminals and put people to work. Could be a win-win.
The thesis behind the Pew Study is that "…criminologists and policy makers increasingly agree that we (the U.S.) have reached a "tipping point" with incarceration, where additional imprisonment will have little if any effect on crime. Research also has identified new offender supervision strategies and technologies that can help break the cycle of recidivism. Across the nation, these developments, combined with tight state budgets, have prompted a significant shift toward alternatives to prison for lower-level offenders."
The report then goes on to take a lengthy, substantive, treatise of the whole subject of the lack of success in reducing crime simply by incarceration.
Prosecutor Sauter declares readers of the (60+ pages) Pew Study should not be "drawing simplistic conclusions" but offers a retort with his own one-line rebuttal: "Michigan has a violent crime problem."
The point of the Pew Study is not to debate that point, but to note that perhaps incarceration is not the answer.
Let's end the war on drugs. As the boastful "land of the free" we incarcerate more people than any country in the world. America arrests nearly 900,000 people annually for marijuana alone. It's big business as well as job security for a virtual army of public servants from cops to social workers. Then there are lobbyists, construction firms, food service companies and the rural communities like Ionia County that depend on taxpayer fear to fund their livelihoods. Like the military bases across America we don't need, the real welfare cheats are those that pretend they're defending freedom while squeezing it dry. Prohibition created organized crime syndicates the same way the war on drugs has. Murderers and rapists are not the majority of felons in our prisons and jails.
Private contractors and their shareholders depend on stricter laws and mandatory sentences as their cash cows while the media provides free marketing. While we cut education funding we spend $30,000 on a prisoner. We ended prohibition, we need to grow up and end the war on drugs, even if it means allowing people to make their own decisions about how they want to entertain themselves. It's gone from moralizing do-gooders to big business.
It's truly a shame when we are spending 3 to 4 times as much to house a prisoner for a year than to educate a student for a year. And then people complain about how much money educators make. Look at where our tax dollars are being spent (read: wasted)!

This interview is going to break your heart when you consider this man, Andrew White, and many others like him may be dead in a few hours or a few days. ISIS is said to be controlling the western portion of the outskirts of Baghdad:
This priest told Megyn Kelly that he spoke to one of the Iraqi soldiers and asked what he would do should ISIS attack. His response was breathtaking, saying that he would take off his uniform and run. When the Priest asked why he is even a soldier then, he responded that he is only in it for the money.
The priest also pointed out that there is really nowhere to escape. ISIS controls too much territory in Iraq for an escape by car and if they fly out that won't happen until Monday, and ISIS is feared to move in before then.
In the video below I've included Kelly's lead up to the interview to give you a fuller understanding of just what awaits Baghdad in the coming hours or days.
As I say in the title, this is a MUST WATCH:
Where are all the troops we've sent to Baghdad? We should have at least 2-3k there I think. Are they going to be massacred as well? Are we going to see American troops on the ground in Baghdad being beheaded? Or are they going to evacuate?
This is Baghdad after all and if it falls to ISIS, what is left in Iraq?

"His latest album, the aptly-named Contrarian, is a mix of acoustic Americana and rock – originals plus a few covers – and includes contributions from Bob Dylan/Dr. John drummer Richard Crooks and Lou Reed sideman Fernando Saunders. Tracks like "Back in the Game," "The Message" and his take on "City of New Orleans" show off John's rootsy, classic sound."
"The Song of the Year songwriting contest has awarded Fremont John Ashton the Runner Up placement in the song contest. Song of the Year receives entries from all over the world and only the top songwriters receive a Runner Up placement in the songwriting competition."
"Thanks for rocking our house! Still getting feedback on how much people enjoyed the intimate setting and your great songs/sound/performance!!!!"
""What a great night....Fremont John was the very best choice for our opening night. His guitar skills and his singing are exceptional and we were spellbound for two hours. He never took a break, and we loved every minute of it!" " We were mesmorized by his amazing guitarwork, his passion for vocal integrity, and his command of message in song. This was an evening to remember." "......this guy is so good, and has played with some of the best...we are honored to have him here!""
"I must say, you are just so talented...people need to hear your music. Fremont John, a terrific talent....he's original and wonderful and plays great stuff." Hear the interview at the link below.
"Awesome, awesome, awesome!"
"Fremont John did an exceptional job, including some outstanding local talents," Father, Wayne Wheeler said. ..."the churches serve 800 to 1,000 families throughout Mason County each month." The show featured both original and cover music by Fremont John.
".......you and your band were a hit, thanks. Let me know when you're coming back to the area in 2013 ASAP."
"One of the greatest musical shows ever to perfom in Ludington was the Fremont John and Friends benefit for St. Simons & St. Jerome Food Pantries. Las Vegas has nothing on the concert, it was fabulous. Standing ovations and applause for the talented performers were the norm." "He (Fremont John) is an extremely talented musician and composer."
"Fremont John put on one of the best concerts I have attended in a long time."
"We love having you at the Village!"
"...your performance the other night was exceptional and it made me want to come home and throw rocks at my guitar! Seriously, it was very inspiring and my gig Sunday night left me asking the question with each song, "How in the hell does he do it?"
"RE: Guitar Songs CD - Some absolutely superb string work from Fremont John & friends... 10 great tracks featuring his guitar and keyboard work. If it's laid-back with a truly "continental" vibe you're lookin' for, try out "Europa"... a bit longer than many at 7:36, but it's a genuinely vibrant tune that displays a love for life & the living of it! For those listeners who want nothin' but instrumental bliss, this is absolutely the ticket...and John's talent shines through in his ability to inspire you to kick back with him & the other players joining him on the CD. My favorite piece was "Slippery When Wet", probably 'coz of th' bluesy ride to oblivion it takes you on... a truly "sweet" tune! I give this one a MOST HIGHLY RECOMMENDED for listeners across all spectrums, with an "EQ" (energy quotient) rating of 4.97. Get more information at www.fremontjohn.com"
"RE: "Guitar Songs" CD...... this is by far your best sound. Tremendous guitar work!"
"I thought you sounded great."
"I must tell you that you are so well liked by many of our locals at Willie T's, they always want to know when your next booking with us will be."
"It is with profound professional pride and pleasure that we thank you for the incredible performance and experience this past Friday. It was a stellar, 'first class' performance. We do our best to bring performers of the highest quality to our community and "Fremont John" fit right in…the audience loved you and the band! You had us totally captivated with your great stage presence and original tunes…it was an unforgettable experience. We've had tremendously positive feedback from the audience and the only question is, "when will you be back?" You, and each member of your band, have been blessed with the wonderful gift of music...""
"In the current musical world of beats and brashness, Guitar Songs is a breath of fresh air! Sensitive and lyrical, these instrumentals are delivered in a manner that invites the listener in. Fremont John has given his fans yet another reason to listen closely."
"A good instrumental CD is difficult to make but this one (Guitar Songs) is excellent."
"John's sound is clean ...acoustic lead tone is wonderful; clear and crisp but also warm. He...sticks to tasteful melodic lead playing over top his balanced rhythm guitar parts." "John is an accomplished player...and it shows in his tasteful playing and tight but fluid arrangements."
"Fremont John's treatment of the songs ...always meticulous and masterful..." "..display the artist's easy command of the instrument.." "all serve as testament to an artist who may be Tampa Bay's most seasoned and professional original singer/songwriter.""

I'm adding a C++ front-end to a C library. One function in this library calls back to a handler with an array and an integer with the size of the array. Therefore you must provide a C function,
int handler(int argc, sometype **argv);
Now, I'd like to allow the C++ calling code to provide a more C++ish handler function, something like,
int handler(std::vector<sometype*> args);
Changing the handler type isn't hard, I just have to provide my own
handler which then calls the user-provided handler. So I need to create an
std::vector and copy the contents of
argv into it.
However, I don't really want to copy the entire list of pointers if possible. Unfortunately I think it's not possible to tell
std::vector to use an already-allocated block of memory for its internal array, and moreover the array is static, and should be considered
Is there some STL type similar to
std::vector that can be used to wrap pre-allocated C-style arrays with a more friendly interface? It should support size query and iteration, similar to

of their ailing father. It is a weird movie with
many flashbacks and dream like scenes.
I like action movies, and this was not my kind of
movie. However, if you like movies that deal with
relationships with some humour this is a good
movie to watch.
Demi Moore and Parker Posey acting was very good.
I do remember Ellen Barkin from the movie Big Easy, she
was really hot in that movie. And yes it was that
memorable. :) Wow, what a difference!

Only good words for the excellence of service, location, interiors. You are at the most spectacular place in Beirut, walking distance to everywhere. Spa is nice, swimming pool brings you at the top of the city, fantastic rooms. Please mind that breakfast is not included in price, this was a bit strange to us, also taxi drivers cooperating with the hotel, at our opinion were not local. So to have a fast and a cheap ride need to walk 50 m away from the hotel, then get a local taxi. We had a very nice experience and probably will go there again soon. Shops are right next to it and the best music hall is also nearby, do not miss it..

This service was excellent. My elderly mother had broken her ankle and was unable to get around without assistance. I searched the internet for wheelchair hire and came across this site. It was so easy to use and with just one telephone call late on the afternoon, a 'lightweight collapsible wheelchair' was delivered the following morning.
Once the chair was no longer needed, one short phone call and arrangements were made to collect it the following day. No problems whatsoever at a time when life was already stressful due to her accident.
Well done,Wheelfreedom.

I understand wanting the CIC to acknowledge the sacrifices made in service, but I think only the ultimate sacrifice should receive a LOC. Training in theater is just a part of being in the military. If your death is combat-related then the LOC should be issued. Soldiers may die in service for a variety of reasons. One airman I trained with died of a heart attack while running around a track on base. That sort of death may come to any and does not deserve a LOC in my opinion. If a LOC is issued in that case it diminishes its significance when issued to someone who dies in combat. Suicide, when a result of combat-related stress in-country, could be looked at on a case-by-case basis but I wonder if that, too, would seem a like a slap in the face to the families of those who died while serving since suicide could be perceived as a "failure to serve" when the soldier checks out that way. I don't know if suicide should be honored with a LOC, a hard question.
Primary tabs
Should the President send letters of condolence to families of servicemembers who commit suicide or die training in theater?
Yes. Most of those who commit suicide do so as a result of their combat experiences.
16% (287 votes)
Yes. But the policy should be extended to send letters to all servicemembers who die in uniform.
51% (934 votes)
No. Historically letters were sent to those who died in combat with enemy forces, and it should stay that way.
25% (463 votes)
No, because this policy only reinforces the notion that committing suicide is an honorable way to escape one's problems.

Plasan announces 143 layoffs todayFebruary 20,2014Staff and Wire Report
BENNINGTON -- A Bennington plant that makes auto parts is closing its doors, putting 143 people out of work.
Plasan Carbon Composites, a company based in Bennington, has announced 143 layoffs today, according to President James Staargaard.
The company says it's consolidating operations at another Plasan facility in Walker, Mich.
The plant will remain open until mid-May.
Vermont Labor Commissioner Annie Noonan says her department is working with the affected employees to explain the benefits they will be eligible for such as job placement assistance, education and retraining and unemployment benefits.
The workers will receive severance packages and a bonus if they stay on until the plant closes.
Senator Dick Sears, (D-Bennington District), said his priority is to focus on finding the employees that have lost their jobs new employment.
"We will be coordinating efforts with Commissioner Annie Noonan and the Department of Labor to ensure these workers have access to all available State and Federal resources. I am hopeful these efforts will lead to job placement for the workers that have been laid off to help ensure the vitality of Bennington," he said.
Plasan Composites has a sister company in Bennington that makes armaments, Plasan USA, which will remain open.MORE IN This Just InSPRINGFIELD Springfield residents will be asked next month during Market Madness for their...

Rewriting the Past
Love As A Growth Process: Dr. Julie Hanks on KSL's Studio 5
For this Valentine's Day season, I thought it fitting to use this Studio 5 segment to discuss one of my favorite topics: love! We all know the excitement of falling in love, of being completely and totally enamored with someone else. Who doesn't love roses, chocolates, and candlelit dinners for two? But the truth is that when February is done, when the honeymoon phase of a relationship is over, real love is a lot of work. It can be challenging, painful even, but it can ultimately help us learn and mature, both individually and together. Here are a few ways that love is a growth process:
When NOT to Trust Your Instincts in Marriage – Part I (for men)
"We need to talk." These are possibly the most frightening words for a man to hear, but the most exciting for a woman!
Research has been done into the phenomenon: Why is this four word phrase is so difficult for men? The findings are actually quite interesting. This phrase triggers the fight or flight response in a man's brain. Essentially, it signals DANGER! More specifically, "what have I done wrong this time?" Or, "how have I failed as a husband?" Women may think this is a little dramatic or hyperbole, but it is merely a physiological response.
This is the same reaction that a father would have when he finds out that one of his children is in danger, or there is a problem that needs to be solved at work. Metaphorically, a man is gearing up for battle when there is a perceived problem and they are wired to go and conquer the enemy. So, it becomes more understandable, that if a man can't go and fight the problem that is presented by his wife, he will at least want to give suggestions and advice so that his wife can.More
The Best Wedding Gift Money Can Buy
As I meet with married couples young and old, to help them improve their sexual intimacy, I have become aware of something very clear. Most married couples wish they had learned what they learn in our sessions, before they ever got married to one another! I frequently hear from couples, "We should have done this years ago!" or "Wow, we really should have talked about that before marriage."
I have noticed that some couples, depending on their value systems or home life, do not feel comfortable talking about sexual intimacy before marriage. Whether a couple chooses to be sexually intimate before or after marriage, most new couples are eager to have sex, but unsure how to talk about it. I can understand this, however, I feel there are tremendous benefits to having these conversations beforehand, rather than a honeymoon crash course where expectations can be annihilated and typically not for the better. It is good for couples to discuss what their expectations are for frequency of intimacy, history of any sexual trauma or sexual addictions and how that may impact intimacy, and thoughts regarding what is okay and not okay during intimacy. A counselor who has experience working with sexual intimacy can inform a new couple what the different stages of the sexual response cycle are and what types of things in the relationship or the individual may impede progress in the cycle. A session like this gives couples the language and breaks the ice to set the stage for many healthy and safe conversations about sex throughout their lives together.
So, next time you are stumped about a wedding gift, perhaps buy something that certainly won't be on the registry. Buy the budding new couple one premarital counseling session to talk about intimacy. This is an atmosphere that feels more safe for couple's to talk about these things, rather than trying to duck away from their parents or roommates somewhere.More
Marriage Therapy: How Do You Know it's Time to Start?
When people find out I am a marriage therapist, I inevitably get asked two questions. 1) What is the number one reason people come in for marriage therapy? and 2) When do you know it's time to see a marriage therapist? I could go on for several pages about the different reasons that couples come into therapy. However, my answer to the second question is pretty cut and dry. There is no such thing as starting marriage therapy too early. However, there can be a point where it is too late. Often times people only contact professional help after a catastrophic event has happened in their relationship. Too often one or both people involved are coming to therapy so they can have peace of mind that "they did everything to save the marriage." The very sad truth is that the marriage could have been saved if the couple had come in at the first sign of difficulty. For those of you asking whether now is a good time to start therapy, let me ask: Are you H.A.P.P.Y. in your relationship?More

Reconnect with your Spouse! – Upcoming "Hold Me Tight" Couples Class
Are you tired of reading relationship books with a few tips and advice that may put a band aid on your marital discourse? Dr. Sue Johnson, author of Hold Me Tight: Seven Conversations For A Lifetime Of Love, relationship researcher and expert, believes that the attachment bond individuals have with their partners is crucial for a happy, healthy relationship. Just as an infant feels close, attached, and loved when her mother gazes in her eyes, adults have the same need. We innately feel a desire to connect, be loved, depended on, and to feel safe. When the attachment is insecure with our spouse or partner, there is greater likelihood for disconnection, isolation, and distance. Hold Me Tight looks to address that attachment bond.
Wasatch Family Therapy is pleased to announce that we are, once again, offering a Hold Me Tight workshop. Based on Dr. Sue Johnson's Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) approach. An approach in which empirical research shows that 70-75% of couples move from distress to recovery. The workshop will take readers through the following seven transforming conversations:
- Recognizing Demon Dialogues
- Finding the Raw Spots
- Revisiting a Rocky Moment
- Hold Me Tight
- Forgiving Injuries
- Bonding Through Sex and Touch
- Keeping Your Love Alive
Join us, LaShawn Schultz CSW and Jameson Holman, for this eight-week course beginning Wednesday nights on October 1st in the Cottonwood Heights location from 6-8 p.m. Register now and find the emotional connection that can come as partners reach for one another, holding tight.

When Adorable Traits Become Annoying: Julie Hanks in WSJ
Have you ever been annoyed by certain habits or quirks of your partner that you once found endearing? Perhaps you were drawn to a man because you admired his work ethic, but then later came to see him as a workaholic. Or maybe you initially liked how a woman was dedicated to physical fitness, but eventually felt she was self-absorbed. This phenomenon, which experts refer to as a fatal attraction, can wreak havoc on relationships.
Julie Hanks had the opportunity to give her insight on this topic in a new Wall Street Journal article out today entitled, "How to Cope When You and Your Partner are Falling Out of Love." She and other relationship experts discuss how to appropriately handle this fatal attraction in such ways as recognizing that every character trait has pros and cons, reflecting on what you do appreciate about your romantic partner, and considering how the other person brings balance to the relationship.

"In this volume John van Buren continues the groundbreaking work he began with the publication of The Young Heidegger by collecting together hitherto unavailable and precious documents from the pre-history of Being and Time, arguably the most important book in twentieth-century European philosophy. Van Buren proves himself as incisive an editor and translator as he is an interpreter of this important period leading up to the publication of Heidegger's major work, and this collection will quickly become standard reading for any serious study of Being and Time." John D. Caputo, author of Demythologizing Heidegger
Supplements: From the Earliest Essays to Being and Time and Beyondby Martin Heidegger
View All Available Formats & Editions
This indispensable volume adds for the first time a comprehensive anthology of the most important of Martin Heidegger's recently discovered early essays. Translated by preeminent Heidegger scholars, these supplements to Heidegger's published corpus are drawn from his long series of early experimental, constantly supplemental attempts at rethinking philosophy. Written during 1910-1925, they precede Being and Time and point beyond to Heidegger's later writings, when his famous "turn" took, in part, the form of a "return" to his earliest writings.
Included are discussions of Nietzschean modernism, the mind's intentional relation to being and the problem of the external world, the concept of time in the human and natural sciences, the medieval theory of the categories of being, Jaspers's Kierkegaardian philosophy of existence and its relation to Husserl's phenomenology, being and factical life in Aristotle, the being of man and God in Luther's primal Christianity, and the relevance of Dilthey's philosophy of history for a new conception of ontology. A detailed chronological overview of Heidegger's early education, teaching, research, and publications is also included.

Principals, superintendents, and district CIOs are increasingly becoming the decision-makers for purchasing school apps, according to a new survey.
A bank in Albuquerque, N.M., had a limited budget to make one of its branches more environmentally sustainable, so students at the local ACE (Architecture, Construction, and Engineering) Leadership High School rolled up their sleeves and went to work. They searched websites for green design options, consulted with an engineer, and used spreadsheets to compare potential costs and energy savings.
Recently, a school in the United Kingdom was criticized for losing the personal data of almost 20,000 parents, students, and staff members. Names, addresses, medical information, and photographs were wiped out.
Last year, the University of Miami had backup tapes stolen that contained financial data, Social Security numbers, and health information for approximately 47,000 people at its medical center.
Glendale USD in southern California has taken an unprecedented step in bullying and crime prevention by paying a company to analyze students' public posts on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and other social media.
WANTED: CHIEF INFORMATION OFFICER: Looking for a technology expert, experienced with Mac and PC; servers; mobile technologies—including smartphones, tablets, laptops, and netbooks; coding; and helpdesk. Must be a strong people person and a great communicator, coach, and teacher, used to juggling multiple projects simultaneously, a team player, and always willing to pitch in. Comfortable in a fast-paced environment. People who have one way of doing things need not apply.
Just five years ago, a student information system was used to take attendance and add or change grades. The tech director chose one, installed it and, in about two minutes, showed teachers how to use it.
Now, "it's a portal for teachers to send assignments and for parents, students, and teachers to communicate with each other," says Melissa Tebbenkamp, director of instructional technology at Raytown Quality Schools in Missouri.
The shift in CIO responsibilities has also trickled down to the rest of the tech team. No longer is it enough to be knowledgeable in computers. IT employees must have strong people skills as well. Here's what CIOs said they look for:
Districts that don't have a full time chief technology officer may have a harder time keeping up with E-rate modernization and the shift to online testing, technology experts say.
Hundreds of educators are pressing for increased funding for E-rate, the government program that connects schools and libraries to the internet—especially important, given Common Core requirements for online assessment.
Administrators in the Los Angeles USD may tap the skills of students who hacked school-purchased iPads to strengthen security on the mobile devices. A week after the iPads were distributed in September, about 340 students hacked the security system to browse websites like Facebook and Twitter.
Kansas City Public Schools in Missouri lost accreditation in January 2012. As part of the effort to improve schools, district leaders asked MindMixer to create an engagement platform, the KCPS Forum. Parents can access the forum through a web browser or app on their phone and pitch ideas for improving the district.
The Brevard County Public Schools in Florida has instituted energy-saving measures that have cut electricity costs by almost $4 million—or by 25 percent. In upstate New York, the Beaver River Central School District has a plan that could save and restore teacher jobs. And the Kent School District outside Seattle is discovering that it can afford to do more to maintain aging buildings.
New platforms are giving parents the chance to track their children's progress without having to schedule a parent-teacher conference.
New helmet sensors are helping high school football coaches identify students at risk for concussion by recording the severity each time a player is hit in the head during a game.
Geographic information systems data, or GIS, is making districts smarter about everything from safe walking routes to enrollment. A geographic data analysis program, developed by GuideK12, lets schools pinpoint students' homes to determine the safest routes for large groups of kids walking from the same neighborhood.
A new flexbooks program will be implemented this fall in math classrooms across a suburban Atlanta school district to keep up with changing state requirements and reduce textbook costs.
Henry County Schools is using Edgenuity software on newly purchased iPads in its math classrooms, nicknaming the program "flexbooks" because teachers and administrators will have the flexibility to create customizable math content for each classroom and student, says Assistant Superintendent Aaryn Schmuhl. Parents will also have access to the content online so they can help students with homework.

Friendly staff
Staff very friendly. Even had a 'handy man' on site to help us jump start our car.
Lovely staff, excellent location, basic but comfortable rooms, and a surprisingly good mini spa facility. A very pleasant stay and perfect for a short ski break.
Interior awful! Mixture of nightmare styles, put all together. Food was crap. Nothing good to say about it. Staff beahved like we would be guests of top top hotel. I was visiting many hotels recommended by booking.com, but this one was the worst! Never again, please...
Proximity to the ski lift
Very convenient location and great value for money
Perfect location and setting, excellent rooms, service and secure parking plus free wifi. Breakfast room service works very well
The warm welcome at reception. The well appointed bathroom, the supplied bathrobe, and all the little bathroom supplies, including hotel slippers. The sound of the nearby river sent me nicely off to sleep! It was very convenient for all the facilities of Brides-les-bains.
The hotel was warm and comfortable
The whole town was closed - all restaurants and shops. This should be detailed on your site or the hotels.
very close to the gondola!very warm and clean!!!superior room was very big!!!
Lack of breakfast buffet. Entrance to the parking cannot be controlled from the reception, someone had to come 3 floors down every time we wanted to come in/exit the parking.
All the staff is very kind and gives you a lot of attention. The hotel is very nice, clean, good music, beautifull view. For the location at 1650, I think it should be a bit less!!
very nice hotel, would certainly go back again
surprisingly good, excellent location in the centre of the town by lifts and slopes - this is not a luxury hotel but as a boutique hotel it really is excellent - clean and character, not lots of staff, but they were were helpful and friendly- breakfast is a basic help yourself job, if you want to be in the centre of 1850 but dont want outrageous prices, I would highly recommend this hotel
Leaving it.
When I arrived at the hotel, the front door was locked. There was a telephone number on the door, and the proprietor said he would be along in 10 minutes to let me in. 30 minutes later he arrived. Very old hotel in poor condition. Virtually no facilities. Breakfast in the restaurant next door. Your website advertised this hotel as having an outdoor pool, sauna and jacuzzi. Guess what??? It had none of these facilities!!!!! Why do you advertise the existance of things like this when you must know they do not exist?? Or do you???????
Nothing ... we arrived and the hotel was locked up ... we called and the manager arrived and was not overly friendly ... we were disappointed.
I was surprised, I expected something better even for the price we paid. the hotel was clear, rooms very small, no elevator, we were first put on 3rd floor for no apparent reason and then asked and moved to 1st floor. Personally I thought the hotel was a "whole in a wall' and would have preferred to pay another 20 to 30 euros for a better room.

Target Acquires Cooking.com, Chefs Catalog
Thursday March 14th, 2013 - 2:08PM
These are shortcuts to your favorite social networking and bookmark sites. Add this story to your Facebook page, del.icio.us, DiggIt, and many others!
Target Corp. today announced agreements to acquire CHEFS Catalog and assets of Cooking.com in two separate transactions. The e-commerce acquisitions are aimed at expanding Target's presence in the growing cooking and kitchenware market, the retailer stated.
Following the closings, the two businesses will be combined to create a new, wholly owned subsidiary of Target. Both brands will continue to operate under their current names. Target believes these transactions present a strategic growth opportunity, it said. However, the company indicated there will not be any meaningful financial impact to Target's 2013 results.
"We are excited to bring CHEFS and Cooking.com into the Target family," said Casey Carl, president of multichannel and senior vp/enterprise strategy at Target. "We know consumers are increasingly looking online for cooking solutions to make their lives easier– from utensils and cookware, to recipes. These strategic transactions provide us a great way to address this growing opportunity and will offer expanded online options for our guests."
Tim Littleton, president and chief executive of CHEFS, will be president of the wholly owned subsidiary and will report to Carl. Tracy Randall, chief executive and co-founder of Cooking.com, will become a consultant to Target.
"We're delighted to be a part of the Target organization," said Littleton. "CHEFS has grown and thrived online by offering a well-edited selection of leading kitchen tools, gadgets and accessories. Combined with Cooking.com and their strong Powered By partnerships, their vast array of recipes and user-driven product ratings and reviews, we believe we're well-positioned to provide an even richer online experience for our collective customers."
Both transactions are expected to close within 30 days. Financial terms are not being disclosed.

Product Description
A Globe and Mail Best Book
"Heartbreaking and hilarious in equal measure, . . . Don't Be Afraid is a note-perfect account of life and loss. . . . [Hayward] deftly unleashes his inner Vonnegut."
— John Barber, The Globe and Mail
"Hayward has an easy way with his prose and the dialogue. . . . Portrayed with realism and sympathy. . . . If you're a fan of . . . Miriam Toews' A Complicated Kindness or Reif Larsen's The Selected Works of T. S. Spivet, you'll likely enjoy this book."
—Toronto Star
"A beautiful meditation on loss, grief and the stubborn resilience of families."
— Nino Ricci, author of The Origin of Species
"Don't Be Afraid is an extraordinary novel, utterly compelling from the first page to the last. Portraying lovable characters in varying degrees of crisis, the novel is tender, wise and hilariously funny. Hayward is the fine and rare writer—like Richler in Solomon Gursky or Barney's Version—who makes us laugh all the while illuminating with compassion and candour the truths of the human heart."
— Timothy Taylor, author of Stanley Park
"Don't Be Afraid broke my heart in the very best way. That is, the funny/sad way. Indeed, Steven Hayward may just be the best funny/sad writer we have. Go on. Let him break your heart."
— Andrew Pyper, author of The Killing Circle
"A hilarious and quietly subversive tour of post-industrial American suburban life. The fictional Jim Morrison in Don't Be Afraid is more interesting than the real Jim Morrison ever was."
— Stephen Marche, author of Raymond and Hannah
"Don't Be Afraid is an acutely smart and sensitive portrayal of a youth who is forced to confront the inexplicable death of a family member. Steven Hayward is an outstanding writer with a special talent for exploring the big existential questions through comic virtuosity and the artful rendering of voice."
— David Chariandy, author of Soucouyant
About the Author
Born and raised in Toronto, STEVEN HAYWARD currently teaches creative writing at Colorado College in Colorado Springs. A frequent contributor to the Globe and Mail and the Literary Review of Canada, his first novel, The Secret Mitzvah of Lucio Burke, won Italy's prestigious Premio Grinzane Cavour prize.See all Product Description

Stress the Silent Killerby Ryan Sawyer
View All Available Formats & Editions
- LendMe LendMe™ Learn More
It begins like any other day. After hours of tossing and turning, you have finally fallen into a fitful sleep when you are jarred awake by the blaring of your alarm clock. Already feeling depleted before the day begins, you drag yourself out of bed, stagger to the shower and try to shake off the nagging anticipation of another daily grind. You fly through the kitchen with a hasty good morning, grab your cup of coffee and bark at your 3 year old who is reaching for your arms with oatmeal covered fingers. She cries, your wife snaps and out the door you run to join the safari just as the sun is rising. Off you go to take your place in the line with other hunters on the daily trek to capture the prize and bag the "big one." You negotiate the hunting party by switching lanes and exercising your cunning to creep a few car lengths ahead, all the while ignoring the blaring horns and interesting gestures of the other hunters. Finally, you drag yourself into your office amid the ringing telephones, beeping fax machines and raucous voices all clamoring for your attention, and jockeying for position to have their request granted first. Exhausted, you fall into the chair behind your desk when suddenly, panic strikes. You can't breath. Your chest feels as if someone has placed a leaden weight atop it, even though you are sitting up. As you gasp for air, your head feels as if it is going to explode and your heart is pounding. Before you know it everything surrounding you becomes dimmer and dimmer until........"

The good news is that this is one risk factor that you have control over. You CAN reduce the risk, and "Stress The Silent Killer" is just what you need to discover how that is possible.
