From the Publisher
When Ellen Whyte moved to tropical Sarawak, the land of the headhunters and home of the orang utan, she longed for cat companions but sensibly decided it would be irresponsible to take on a pet, as expat life is too uncertain.
Luckily for her, Scoop, a stray cat with a corkscrew tail, had his own ideas. After a short campaign displaying brilliant tactics and strategy, Scoop moved in. From that fateful day onwards, Scoop and his cat pals Au, Target and Guido have ruled the author's life with firm but gentle velvet paws, proving the adage that dogs have masters while cats have staff.
For the last 5 years, readers of the national Malaysian daily newspaper, The Star, have been entertained by Katz Tales, light-hearted stories that celebrate the antics of these cats. Today the best of these stories are brought together in three new ebooks for everyone to enjoy.
Katz Tales How Boris The Cat Was Reunited With His Family (free) is the story of a true miracle. It details how Boris the cat made a temporary home with Au and his friends for a year before being reunited with his family who were living 400 km away. Guaranteed to make you Smile!
I hope you enjoy these Tales as much as I enjoyed writing them. The proceeds of Katz Tales books go to Trap Neuter and Release the strays who live in my neighbourhood.

A HERO pilot has died after his airship burst into flames and exploded in
The brave 42-year-old captain managed to save the lives of his three
passengers by ordering them to jump to safety.
Eyewitnesses heard a loud engine noise from the Goodyear craft at about 8.30pm
on Sunday.
The smell of fuel was also reported before the four-seater craft exploded.
As it hovered two meters above the ground, the Australian pilot yelled at the
passengers to leap out while he tried to land safely.
Once they had jumped clear, the blimp shot 50 metres up into the air and
exploded, before plunging down in flames and crashing in a field.
One witness said of the crash in Reichelsheim, near Frankfurt, Germany: "We
could also hear the cries of the doomed pilot as the fire surrounded him. It
was terrible."
The cause of the explosion is being investigated. The passengers reportedly
worked for Germany's Bild newspaper and RTL television. The airship had made
a round trip for the journalists to take photos.
In a statement, Lightship Europe Limited confirmed the crash but not the
identity of the dead pilot.
It said: "One member of the flight crew suffered fatal injuries. There
were no injuries to passengers or ground crew.
"As is customary in incidents involving aircraft, the aviation and local
authorities have initiated an investigation and it would be premature for
Goodyear or Lightship Europe Limited to speculate on causes and findings at
this time."
Germany has led the world in airship technology. Its most famous was the
Zeppelin, named after the man who invented it.
The Hindenburg is arguably the most famous blimp. It crossed the Atlantic to
New Jersey on May 6, 1937, but caught fire as it was trying to land
killing 35 people.
The crash swiftly ended airship travel but the gas-filled craft have made a
comeback in Germany in recent years as tourist attractions.

We beg for the end of a tired school funding process, extol the benefits of lowering chronic absenteeism, and more.
Under federal and state law, Ohio policy makers are responsible for gauging and reporting on the performance of its 3,000 public schools and 600 districts. To do this, Ohio has a report card system that assigns A-F grades based on a variety of performance indicators. While Ohio does not currently roll up these disparate component grades into a final "summative" rating, in 2017-18, the Buckeye State will join thirty-nine other states that do just that.
Why summative grades? They are intended to accomplish a number of purposes, including improving the transparency of complicated rating systems, helping families decide where to send their child to school, and guiding local decision making on which schools need the most help and which deserve recognition. With the importance placed upon these overall ratings, it is critical to examine the grading formula that Ohio policy makers will use to calculate schools' final letter grades—specifically the weights assigned to each element of the school report card.
Current weights
Ohio law requires the State Board of Education to create the summative school rating formula within two key parameters: 1) it must include all six main components of the state report card; and 2) it must equally weight the Progress and Achievement dimensions. Set forth in administrative code, the state board has established weights for each component as displayed in the table below. When a component is absent for a school—e.g., K-3 Literacy wouldn't apply to a high school—the existing weights are adjusted in a way that maintains proportional relationships between the components.
Table 1: Ohio's overall school-rating weights
Are these weights fair?
The central problem with Ohio's current system of weights is that five out of six components are highly correlated with student demographics or prior achievement. This creates an uneven accountability system that strongly favors high-income schools while disadvantaging low-income ones. In effect, Ohio's state report card punishes schools simply for serving needy children while giving accolades to those with less disadvantaged pupils.
Using Ohio's component A-F grades from 2015-16, the tables below demonstrate the extent of the problem.
Table 2: Distribution of A-F school ratings on Ohio's report card components, 2015-16
Consider the following observations:
Meanwhile, the Progress component—value added or student growth—is the one measure in which high-poverty schools can and do perform well. Consider Table 3, which shows that 32 percent of Ohio's high-poverty schools received an A or B, while 48 percent received a D or F—a less skewed distribution of grades relative to the other components. Ohio's growth measure is designed to be more poverty-neutral, leading to the different distribution of grades.
Table 3: Distribution of A-F grades on Ohio's Progress component, 2015-16
Taken together, the five demographically correlated components will constitute 80 percent of a school district's grade and anywhere from 70 to 80 percent of a school's grade depending upon the grades served. Meanwhile, just 20 to 30 percent will be based on Progress—or student growth—a measure independent of demographics or prior achievement.[1]
As a result, the weighting system developed by the State Board will assign almost all high-poverty schools a D or F grade. This is not only inaccurate—there are excellent high-poverty schools—but could also have unintended consequences such as: a) misleading school-shopping families about the quality of their options; b) subjecting high-performing, high-poverty schools to intrusive interventions; c) failing to recognize or reward high-performers; d) discouraging educators (and students) in high-poverty schools who start to believe that the grading system—no matter what—results in them being deemed failing.
A weighting proposal
Ohio policy makers should reweight the overall school-grading formula in the way that places more emphasis on growth. Table 4 displays my proposal for reweighting the various components.[2]
Table 4: Proposed summative grading formula
This proposal would make three key changes in Ohio's weighting system. It would:
* * *
There is no one scientifically correct way to determine school grading weights. It will ultimately come down to judgments on issues of what we prioritize and value, how technically sound an indicator is (all measures have their challenges including, yes, value added), how we think certain measures will affect behavior, and how we think about fairness to schools and to students. Yet we must acknowledge that not all report card measures are of equal or similar importance—which appears to be one of the assumptions behind Ohio's current weighting approach. Buckeye policy makers should revisit these summative weights and work toward prioritizing student growth in the accountability system.
[1] A K-8 school would not have high-school specific components (Graduation Rate and Prepared for Success) and the weights would be as follows: 72.5% on Achievement, Gap Closing, and K-3 Literacy combined and 27.5% on Progress. A grade 9-12 high school would have 77% combined weight on Achievement, Gap Closing, Prepared for Success, and Graduation Rate and a 23% weight on Progress. See pg. 3 of this ODE document for the various permutations in the absence of a component(s).
[2] To implement changes such as this, Ohio legislators would need to repeal the statutory clause mandating equal weight on Achievement and Progress [ORC 3302.03(C)(3)(f)]. Then, the State Board of Education would need to adopt new rules for the new weighting system.
Ohio's draft plan for implementing the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) came out earlier this month, and we at Fordham continue to analyze it and offer our thoughts. In a previous article, I argued that Ohio's plans for improving low-performing schools were underwhelming. But there is an even more worrisome set of details worth pointing out and rectifying—namely that Ohio's proposal will likely result in a vast number of schools and districts being labeled as failing and routed into a burdensome and ineffective corrective action process.
For starters, Ohio's ESSA plan moves beyond what's required by law when it comes to identifying "low-performing" schools. Federal law requires states to have at least two buckets for school improvement—comprehensive support and targeted support (or the equivalent of what Ohio is naming "priority" and "focus" schools, respectively). The law is direct in spelling out how states should place schools in either category (see Table 1).
Table 1: ESSA requirements
Now take a look at Ohio's proposed criteria below.
Table 2: Ohio's proposed implementation of ESSA's requirements
There are several problems with this approach. First and most glaringly, Ohio opted to add a third category to the mix: "watch" schools, nebulously defined in ODE's plan as "schools that struggle to meet the needs of one or more student subgroup(s) as outlined in state law." Ohio should clarify what this means or consider scrapping the category altogether, as it's not necessary under ESSA and the state has already cast a wide net in terms of identifying priority and focus schools. Specifically, the inclusion of the gap-closing measure as a way to determine eligibility for targeted support does not inspire confidence based on current grades. Ninety-three percent of Ohio districts earned a D or an F on gap-closing in 2015-16, with the vast majority of those (87 percent) getting an F. Only two districts in the entire state earned an A.
To be fair, it appears that Ohio is changing its gap closing calculation—to fall more in line with recommendations that my colleague Aaron explored here last year. Still, until the new metric is fully rolled out, Ohio may want to tread carefully in tying sanctions to the gap-closing grade. It could also lengthen the timeframe to three consecutive years or make some of these qualifiers "and" (instead of "or").
Ohio's plan for identifying low-performers becomes even more worrisome when considering the implications for districts. Take a look at the table below—copied directly from Ohio's ESSA plan. ESSA requires that states provide "technical assistance" to districts that serve a significant number of schools identified for support, which includes review by the state, quarterly or biannual improvement plans, submission of student outcome data, and more.
Given that the overall report card calculation relies disproportionately on factors that correlate with demographics and relatively little on student growth, it's likely that most low-income districts will find themselves in intensive support. By my rough estimate, about twenty districts—primarily those located in Ohio's cities or inner-ring suburbs—would fall into intensive support status. That's about three percent of Ohio districts.
But if future scores are anything like current scores, the inclusion of the gap closing measure will place a vast majority of schools into intensive or moderate support status. And any district with just one identified school whatsoever—even an ambiguously identified "watch" school—will be placed on the support spectrum.
Rather than going deep and requiring intensive, dramatic change among its very lowest-performing schools, Ohio appears to have taken the opposite approach to school improvement—wide and shallow. By adding a new, non-required "watch" status for schools and creating multiple (very likely) scenarios for districts to fall on the support continuum, there's a very real chance that just about everyone will have to succumb to improvement plans. This dilutes energy and resources and is not a reasonable ask, nor will it yield benefits for most of the schools asked to undergo it. New compliances processes and burdensome paperwork create extra work for everyone involved—both the state and the schools and districts under monitoring. The extra workload is all the more unbearable give Ohio's currently proposed scattershot strategy for improving schools.
There are chronically low-performing schools in urgent need of attention, where kids are losing their one opportunity to get an excellent education. These are the schools (and districts) that ODE should focus its efforts on—the lowest five percent or perhaps even one percent of schools—in a concentrated strategy to raise student outcomes.
It's budget season in Ohio, and that means plenty of debates about school funding and other education policy issues. Buried deep in the legislative language is a short provision about teacher licensure that's garnering a whole lot of pushback—as it should. Here's the legislative language: "Beginning September 1, 2018, the state board of education's rules for the renewal of educator licenses shall require each applicant for renewal of a license to complete an on-site work experience with a local business or chamber of commerce as a condition of renewal."
In Ohio, teacher licenses are renewed every five years. Although the requirements vary depending on the license, renewal typically involves six semester hours of coursework related to classroom teaching or the area of a teacher's licensure and 18 continuing education units. If this proposal becomes law, completing an externship at a local business will become part of the process.
The intentions behind this requirement are good: Governor Kasich is trying to actuate a recommendation made by his executive workforce board, which wants to "help business connect with schools, and to help teachers connect with strategies to prepare their students for careers." This is a worthy goal to be sure—all of us, no matter our profession, benefit from wider perspectives—but requiring all teachers to complete an externship won't ensure that they're able to advise students on their myriad career opportunities. Here are a few reasons why this provision shouldn't become law.
This provision is a response to a very real disconnect between schools and the workplace. But there are ways to address that disconnect other than adding to the already full plates of educators. For instance, the provision could be amended to make externships an option—but not a requirement—for teachers to earn continuing education credits. The state could also invest in bringing businesses into schools rather than sending teachers out—a sort of career day on steroids. This would give students and teachers a chance to interact with business leaders and entrepreneurs firsthand and would showcase a broader menu of potential career pathways than teacher externships ever could.
State lawmakers should definitely consider ways to connect schools and businesses, but requiring externships for all of Ohio's teachers is over the top. A lot of positive things are already happening across Ohio to help young people understand their career opportunities, and policy makers would do well to build on those types of initiatives instead.
Since the 1980s, there has been a significant increase in the average age at which women in industrialized nations have their first child. Advanced maternal age, medically defined as ages 35 and up, has in a number of studies shown negative association with infant health, and potentially, development in later life. However, data from three separate birth cohorts in the United Kingdom (1958, 1970, and 2001) indicated a marked increase in the cognitive ability of first-born children over time. At face value, this appears to be a disconnect: Shouldn't the trend towards later child-bearing correlate to lower cognitive abilities among first-borns? A trio of researchers explored what was behind the unexpected results and recently published their results in the International Journal of Epidemiology.
The three birth cohorts were studied separately for different longitudinal research projects and each included more than 16,000 randomly sampled children born in specific windows of time. Cognitive ability of the children was assessed at the ages of 10 or 11 using different tests of verbal cognition depending on the cohort. The researchers in the present study combined the data and standardized the three different test results to ensure the best comparability between the diverse data sources. The most common age range in which women were giving birth in both 1958 and 2001 was 25-29, so that range was chosen as the comparison for the advanced age cohort. The researchers zeroed-in on first-borns in both age ranges. The study included adjustments for socio-demographic characteristics (married or single, income, education at time of birth, etc.) and health behaviors before and after pregnancy.
The results: First children born to younger mothers performed higher than peers born to older mothers in both the 1958 and 1970 cohorts, followed by a complete reversal of that performance outcome for the 2001 cohort.
How can it be that advanced maternal age went from being a negative influence on kids' cognitive ability to a positive influence in less than 30 years? Although not addressed directly in the study, one part of the answer is likely to be the benefits of living in the 21st century—better medicine, hygiene, and reproductive science included. But the researchers posit that since first-born children typically have access to more maternal resources—both material support and things like attention—the trend toward older first births puts that positive variable ahead of the adverse variable of "advanced maternal age" and leads to the reversal. Additionally, older mothers are more likely to be established in their own education, career, and life, whatever level they have achieved. In short, later first births generally mean smaller ultimate family size, resulting in more resources for children and less competition for those resources down the line. These additional resources are enough to overcome the remaining potential negatives of advanced maternal age.
The researchers caution that their study looked at only a few cohorts in one nation and that more study is needed to better understand the link between timing of child bearing and its impact on later development. If the results are replicated with additional research, however, these findings could help bolster policymakers' efforts to push adult stability as a key to child academic ability. Perhaps a push like the one proposed in the success sequence could nudge this phenomenon even further.

Ohio's current approach to school funding (K-12) has several strengths, including its ability to drive more state aid to disadvantaged districts and to add dollars for students with greater educational needs. But in a time when Ohio's budget – like that of many other states – is stretched thin, policy makers need to ensure that every dollar is being well spent. As state lawmakers debate Ohio's biennial budget, thoughtful analysis is more important than ever.
We invite you to attend the release event for Fordham's latest research report, A Formula That Works. Conducted by national education policy experts at Bellwether Education Partners, this analysis is a deep dive into Ohio's education funding policies and includes several recommendations for improvement. The study touches on questions such as: How well does Ohio's funding system promote fairness and efficiency to all schools and districts? How can policy makers better ensure that all students have the resources needed to reach their goals? And what are the most critical policy issues that legislators should concentrate on as the budget debate proceeds this spring?
Join us in Columbus as we hear policy recommendations from our new study and discuss ways to improve K-12 funding policy in the Buckeye State.

Re: Honeycomb Wifi Time Out explained?
Turns off when screen turns off - as soon as screen turns off , WiFi will also turns off
Never when plugged in - WiFi will not turn off when connected to a charger.
Personally I use Power widgets or the app Quick Settings to manually turn off WiFi and mobile data when I don't need it.
Galaxy S2 is a good choice, if you don't mind the 800x480 resolution.

Instant Ayurveda!The ancient Indian science of Ayurveda is a complete natural health system that focuses on healthy living as well as therapeutic measures that include physical, mental, social, spiritual and environmental harmony. Herbal Zap is formulated according to these principles to bring balance and harmony to your vital energies in an easy to use instantly dissolving delicious beverage. AyurvedaThe healing science of Ayurveda is rooted in ancient India with its origins dating 5000 years ago. Today, Ayurveda is a continuously evolving system practiced by well over 100 million individuals in Sri Lanka, Nepal and in the West. Ayurveda, an intricate natural health system, focuses on creating balance in all aspects of life. Ayurveda provides guidelines for healthy living as well as therapeutic measures that aim to restore physical, mental, social, spiritual and environmental harmony. Ayurveda recognizes three fundamental constitutional principles which regulate natural processes. These three energies are known as the doshas. The Three Doshas are: Vata: Comprised of the qualities of air and space. Vata is dry, light, cold, rough, subtle, mobile, and clear. Vata regulates the principle of movement. Chewing, swallowing, nerve impulses, breathing, muscle movements, thinking, peristalsis, bowel movements,urination, menstruation—are dominantly regulated by vata. When vata is out of balance, any number of these movements may be negatively affected. Pitta: Comprised of the qualities of fire and water. Pitta is sharp, penetrating, hot, light, liquid, mobile, and oily. Pitta regulates the principle actions of transformation. It is in dominant action any time the body converts or processes something. Pitta oversees digestion, metabolism, temperature maintenance, sensory perception, and mental comprehension. When pitta is out of balance, it can lead to sharpness, inflammation, excess heat in the above mentioned areas. Kapha: Comprised of the qualities of earth and water. Kapha is heavy, cold, dull, oily, smooth, dense, soft, static, liquid, cloudy,hard, and gross. Kapha governs stability and structure, it forms the substance of the human body, from the skeleton to various organs to the fatty molecules (lipids) that support the body. An excess of kapha leads to an overabundance of density, heaviness, and excess in the body. It is often associated with an excess of mucus in the body. In addition to the more physical aspects of Ayurveda, it is important to recognize, that the subtler aspects of the mind body union are equally valued. As such, Ayurveda offers tools to address and bring balance in these realms as well as partnering with the sister science of Yoga to restore wholeness and harmony. Herbal Zap was formulated and tested by eminent Ayurvedic physicians in Sri Lanka in partnership with Western Science researchers. In a few months a recent clinical trial that tests the efficacy of Herbal Zap at the onset of respiratory distress will be published. Preliminary results show its efficacy at promoting immune system and overall health. Herbal Zap's MissionHerbal Zap's Mission is to bring you the most effective, time tested and scientifically validated easy to use Ayurvedic products. They researched products from all over India, Sri Lanka and Nepal to identify safe, pure, tested, effective products. Their flagship product "Herbal Zap" is a top selling herbal formula taken by over 7 million in Asia every month. Try it and experience the immune boosting power of the 14 concentrated herbal extracts that people in Sri Lanka and India have trusted for years. Keep an eye on them, over the coming year they will be introducing new highest quality, pure Ayurvedic products. Herbal Zap's OriginsFinally Herbal Zap formula has made its way to the USA! Genevieve Gilbreath is a yoga teacher, health educator, co-owner of a nutritional supplement export company, Arogya inc, and now founder of Herbal Zap LLC. From 2005 until 2010, she lived, worked and studied yoga, yoga philosophy and Sanskrit in Varanasi, India. Most of her time was spent exploring, seeking glimmers of beauty and simplicity. Each day in Varanasi offered a treasure trove of sights and smells, of love and loss, and of expectation and discovery. Among those discoveries was the Herbal Zap formula. One day, she was feeling sniffly and under the weather a friend who had spent time in Sri Lanka, (the source of Herbal Zap Ayurvedic formula) shared a packet with her, suggesting she try the little golden granules of goodness. She was sold at the first zesty sip, and after draining that first cup she really knew it was something really special. So, she stocked up and whenever she felt the spectre of illness creeping up, she would drink a few packets to boost my immune system and restore balance to her doshas. Of all the Ayurvedic, Allopathic, homeopathic medicinal formulas she tried, it was Herbal Zap kept me coming back. Whenever she returned to the States, she would bring boxes of the Herbal Zap formula. When her supply ran out, she scoured the health food stores and natural pharmacies for a similar, fast acting herbal formula, but nothing ever worked as well as the combination of herbal extracts in Herbal Zap. When she moved back to the USA to have her son Kapila Max, she undertook the mission to bringing the instant Ayurvedic power of Herbal Zap to the USA. It is said, it takes a village to raise a child and it is certainly true that it takes a village to start a small business. Herbal Zap would not be here today without the incredible and generous support of family and friends. From trips to Sri Lanka to help with the little guy, to helping pick the right name, to hours spent on design and photos, to business consulting, to an unending upwelling of moral support, the village has birthed the ZAP! Now it is thanks to "the village" that the safe, effective, clinically and time tested Ayurvedic formula that is Herbal Zap is available for you! The HZ MamaThe Lightning bolt lady who graces Herbal Zap's packages pays homage to Genevieve's friend Rekha, a lovely mother of two who resides in Varanasi. Whenever Genevieve was feeling ill, she would use the extensive repertoire of spices in her kitchen to whip up an effective Ayurvedic cure for what ailed me. So, in her honor, they have the HZ mama with her lightning bolt ready to zap you with a jolt Ayurvedic goodness! Feel the Zap!

True SustainabilityGarden of Life's commitment to sustainability begins with organic farming. Certified organic plant protein from sprouted grains and legumes is truly good for our planet, unlike conventional farming practices that utilize 150+ synthetic pesticides leaching into our water supply and soil, promoting genetically modified seed crops and reducing our planet's biodiversity. In addition to certified organic farming practices, Garden of Life uses recyclable packaging, vegetable inks, sustainably farmed papers and 100% certified renewable wind energy credits to run their company's operations. Because USDA Certified Organic Matters - to Garden of Life and to You!At Garden of Life, they believe that health matters. That's why they have been, still are, and always will be committed to the highest quality standards in their products. They are entirely committed to this mission and organic farming. Not satisfied to sit back and watch USA's organic family farmers dwindle in number, they are proud to provide long-term contracts and create security for the family farmer community. In fact, their commitment to quality compelled them to make sure as many of their products as possible are USDA Certified Organic, which means no toxins such as pesticides, genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and more. The USDA Certified Organic seal also ensures that the entire product contains 95 percent or more certified organic content, delivering an elite status because USDA organic standards are set high and enforced from start to finish - every step along the way. By Definition, the USDA Organic Seal Means: No Irradiation No Sewage Sludge No Synthetic Fertilizers No Prohibited Pesticides No Genetically Modified Organisms or GMOs Adherence to Animal Health & Welfare Standards Zero Antibiotics or Growth Hormones 100 Percent Organic Feed Giving Animals Access to the Outdoors Specific Soil & Water Conservation Methods Pollution Reduction It's a three-year process to convert land to organic status, and only in the third year - not before - can produce be called organic. There's also a residue-testing program to verify that prohibited pesticides aren't applied to organic crops, since over 3,000 high-risk toxins, including pesticides, are by law excluded from organic products. On the other hand, conventional farming results in products grown with pesticides or other toxins that can get to anyone who consumes them - and over one billion tons of pesticides are used in conventional farming in the United States each year. Those pesticides show up, too. A CDC data analysis revealed that 100 percent of blood and urine tests from all subjects showed pesticide residues - some over four times what's deemed "acceptable." It's no wonder, though. In conventional farming, there's a limit on the maximum amount of each pesticide used, but there's no limit to the number of different pesticides that can be on food or the total amount of contamination - and chemicals can have synergistic effects, even at very low levels. However, you can avoid these toxins by choosing USDA Certified Organic. Scientists say that pesticide levels drop to undetectable levels when people eat an organic diet, but return almost immediately with a non-organic diet. The USDA Certified Organic seal means high-quality, pure, nutritious products. They're not filled with toxins, including prohibited pesticides, GMOs and much more. You see, health and quality truly matters to Garden of Life. They always have and always will. That's why they are committed to their products wearing the USDA Certified Organic seal, and why they continue to work diligently to provide only the highest quality products. Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs)Garden of Life works with third party organizations to ensure the highest possible quality in the products they manufacture for your extraordinary health. What are GMPs?GMPs or Good Manufacturing Practices (also referred to as cGMP or Current Good Manufacturing Practices), are a set of guidelines that address the principles required in the manufacturing and care of products intended for human use and regulated by the Food & Drug Administration (FDA). GMPs are established due to common standards set by the industry to ensure products are manufactured safely and with quality assurance. How does Garden of Life implement cGMPs?Garden of Life knows and understands the regulations; they have a Quality Department that oversees cGMPs. They have established manufacturing and operating procedures, documentation for following these procedures. They train employees on how to follow these procedures and have implemented processes for corrective actions and preventive actions (CAPA).

The federal government has started a probe to investigate what caused the largest airline plane in the world to collide with a much smaller jet at John F. Kennedy International Airport last week.
No one was hurt when the left wing of an Airbus A380 struck the left horizontal stabilizer of a Bombardier CRJ-700 while both jets were taxiing to their gates around 8:25 p.m. April 11, according to the National Safety Transportation Board.
The Airbus A380, which was transporting passengers on Air France Flight 7, suffered serious damage to its left wing while the Bombardier jet, which flew as Comair Flight 293, spun as it was struck by the Airbus and reported damage to its rudder, vertical fin and horizontal tail, the NTSB said.
"We're assessing the damage of both aircraft and we're reviewing that information," NTSB spokesman Keith Holloway said Monday.
There were a total of 485 passengers and 25 crew members onboard the Airbus and 52 passengers and four crew members onboard the Bombardier, the NTSB said. The Airbus is the largest passenger airliner in the world and has been pushed by airport administrators, including the Port Authority of New York & New Jersey, around the world to help alleviate congestion at various airports.
JFK is one of the nation's most congested airspaces and a study released in February by the Regional Plan Association indicated the number of passengers who come into the airport is expected to increase by 50 million over the next 20 years.
The PA declined to comment about last week's accident and the NTSB investigation.
Holloway said the board was also reviewing the cockpit voice recorder and flight data recorder from both aircraft, the air traffic control tapes and ground movement radar data as part of its probe.
Representatives from both airlines and the Air Line Pilots Association were assisting in the investigation, according to Holloway.

Thanks for visiting my website. You are probably here either because you are looking for Langley real estate and are doing your homework or you are thinking about selling your Langley home and need some information before you make up your mind. The most important thing, when you are contemplating such a major decision in your life is to get a professional real estate agent helping you. It's always a good idea to do some work before you seek assistance so you know the questions to ask.
The next step is to find a realtor you trust and that you are comfortable working with. I would like the honour of being your Langley realtor.
I am a licensed realtor with extensive experience in negotiating significant contracts. My job is to ensure your interests are taken care of with the minimum amount of stress for you. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Selling or buying a home is a major undertaking and you should never undertake such a task by yourself. I take the high ethical standard set by our profession very seriously when representing you.
I have lived in Langley for 35 years and raised my family here. I have had the pleasure of volunteering as a coach for minor football, lacrosse and hockey in Langley. Its' always nice to volunteer in the community but when my kids were in sports I thought seeing I was going to be at all their games I might as well be there for the practices too. After my kids grew out of minor sports I stayed coaching and they helped me coach and referee games. I primarily serve the Langley and Surrey areas but have also helped clients buy and sell property in Maple Ridge, Coquitlam and Richmond.
I love this community and find that I am enthusiastic about where I live and work. Langley is a great place to call home and I am blessed to be part of this community.
Please feel free to call me anytime for a free consultation. We can just have a coffee and talk about your situation and how I can be of assistance.

RIP Willard
1 Attachment(s)
So, 4 months after the horrific trailer accident, Willard is being put down today. We all thought he had made a great recovery, but as these months have come and gone, we realized that something was not right. He would hold his head funny, shake it in almost seizure like activity. Not keeping weight on, etc. The neck injury has left a big length of esphogus protected by just the skin. xrays have shown loss of bone mass in the jaw.
He has gone from being a very gentle loving horse to a very aggressive horse. Charging, striking out, kicking. He is no longer safe to be around.
My daughter has decided his quality of life is going to get worse as it gets colder and more issues arise from ongoing results of his injuries.
Since we know he is an aged horse, its not fair to him to be in pain and hurting.
So, Willard, run free from pain like this picture.
So sorry to hear this, but sometimes the right decision is quite hard. RIP Willard

Poor Willard.
I'm sorry for your loss.
Posted via Mobile Device
I am so sorry for your loss after everything you've been through wyoming. It must have been such a very hard decision for your daughter and your family but it sounds like it was the hard choice that had to be made.
RIP Willard you beautiful boy!
My grandson is having a very hard time, but he knows he made the right decision for his best friend and his grandma is so very proud of him tonight.
Poor guy, I feel so bad for your daughter and her family.
I'm sorry for you and your family's loss. :-(
I'm so sorry for your lost, he was a beautiful boy :( At least he will no longer be in pain.
Oh, so sorry to hear this. I followed the accident and updates back in the summer. I'm glad you has some extra time with him!
Godspeed, Willard. Run free and out of pain.

Mason and Dixon by Thomas Pynchon
Book DescriptionCharles Mason (1728 -1786) and Jeremiah Dixon (1733-1779) were the British Surveyors best remembered for running the boundary between Pennsylvania and Maryland that we know today as the Mason-Dixon Line. Here is their story as re-imagined by Thomas Pynchon, in an updated eighteenth-century novel featuring Native Americans and frontier folk, ripped bodices, naval warfare, conspiracies erotic and political and major caffeine abuse. We follow the mismatch'd pair - one rollicking, the other depressive; one Gothic, the other pre-Romantic - from their first journey together to the Cape of Good Hope, to pre-Revoluntionary America and back, through the stange yet redemptive turns of fortune in their later lives, on a grand tour of the Enlightenment's dark hemisphere, as they observe and participate in the many opportunities for insanity presented them by the Age of Reason.

It's been a while since Doc Sportello has seen his ex-girlfriend. Suddenly, she shows up with a story about a plot to kidnap a billionaire land developer whom she just happens to be in love with. Doc knows that "love" is another one of those words going around at the moment, like "trip" or "groovy," except that this one usually leads to trouble.
Bleeding Edge, Paperback (September 2014)
Maxine Tarnow is running a nice little fraud investigation business on the Upper West Side, chasing down different kinds of small-scale con artists.

Hey everybody,
A new Coliseum event is scheduled for wednesday noon CET to thursday noon CET !
Prizes will be distributed on thursday afternoon.
Godfather Don reigns supreme on the whole city and the mafia.
Although he already controls pillz and weapon trafics, he tries to corrupt every Clint City citizen.
In order to do so, he can count on the help of his numerous henchmen and also of the corrupted police and polit men.
Only an unofficial Sentinel team, directed by Melvin and Copper, will attempt to destroy Don's empire...
Check the tournament here : Coliseum
Thanks for the info.
I think it would be a nice feature if a clock could be added on the Colesium page to show how much time is remaining.
Remove points from those who leave please,so they will stop leaving
3 times i was going to make ko with many pillz remaining and the leave
That is very annoying. But since fights are limited and my network is slow,it will be more annoying if I or someone else genuinely time outs and loses 3 points.
I love this format than anything else. I seldom play Dm and this format is crazy. I have a simple 30k deck and my opp. comes with Jackie Cr most of the time and first time ever I played a serious fight against DJ Korr Cr. I got to see General Cr ,Lamar Cr ,Guru Cr . Its lot of fun to think and play against them. When I switch my deck to overpower them then I face Pussycats. This is the only format which vary itself so much that predicting anything is impossible. I am looking forward to more version of it. Incredible.
Reduce the number of matches please. It takes forever to complete 60 matches, especially when your up against mirror matches 3/5 games.
Is Conrad among tomorrow's release?
They're giving some insight tomorrow morning European time. That is, if Twitter is anything to believe.
