Eastlake North High School morons chant "powder blue faggots" at high school football game
Anthony caught this. There is an online petition circulating to have the principal address the issue. I signed it, you should, too. Everyone of these kids need to be named, and forced to make a public apology for their behavior. The video is below, in which someone is caught saying immediately, "that was wrong. THAT was wrong."
What makes this particularly sickening is that nearby Mentor High School has had four kids in the last two years commit suicide after being bullied.
It was the fourth time in little more than two years that a bullied high school student in this small Cleveland suburb on Lake Erie died by his or her own hand – three suicides, one overdose of antidepressants. One was bullied for being gay, another for having a learning disability, another for being a boy who happened to like wearing pink.
Enough needs to be quite enough.
what do you expect from the city of eastlake? it's full of retards. it's kinda the north ridgeville of the east side. LOL sorry sorry sorry… my prejudices are showing thru.
HAS ANYONE CONTACTED WILLOUGHBY SOUTH REGARDING THEIR CHANT "HALLOWEEN HOMOS?" This chant has been going on for years…. Just a rival chant. True Eastlake North and Willoughby South fans have heard this chant before. And most alumni probably chanted this themselves in their highschool days. Why are we choosing to attack the schools in 2010? Rediculous.
You have no doubt received dozens of emails pointing you to the video link below.
The person who filmed the incident noted that no one intervened, not even school staff present at the game. Doing nothing in the face of intolerance, particularly that of young people, is implicitly validating the child's behavior.
WKSU recently ran a multi-part series about bullying in NE Ohio.
The consequences of permissiveness are too high for inaction – a result your neighbors in Mentor should acknowledge. I urge you to consider a reasoned and proper response to the behavior displayed by your students.
Thank you for your time.
Ah Eastlake. Now we're famous for 3 things:
1. Causing the east coast blackout of 2003
2. Hometown of Jesse James mistress Michelle 'Bombshell' McGee
3. This.

This sickens me. A friend's niece who was gay committed suicide in high school because she couldn't take the taunts for one more day. Even the teachers mocked her, calling her Pat because of some Saturday Night Live skit. So did the school punish or reprimand the bullies and cruel teachers? No, they brought in counselors to help them with their "grief."
This is absolutely unacceptable. I was singled out in middle school and high school for similar abuse (and, I'm straight – just goes to show you what bullies know). But it really fucked me up socially and emotionally, to the point where I still haven't fully recovered, and doubt that I ever will. The fact that 10 years on and this sort of thing is still tolerated sickens me. Every single staff member that was present should be suspended without pay. Every student that can be identified should be forced to make public apologies, and restitution in the form of community service, preferably supervised by an LGBT rights group.

Given that I grew up in one of these towns and went to high school in the other I'm going to throw a little extra info into the mix. I am NOT making excuses or defending anyone but I do think it's worth mentioning (in no particular order) that:
1.The North/South football matchup is THE game of the year. It's the Michigan/Ohio State of Lake County rivalries. And shit tends to get out of hand.
2. No cars were burned. No one was sent to the hospital. No one was beat up (as far as I know).
3. When I was in high school the South High marching band (whose colors are powder blue and gray by way) proudly walked around waving the confederate flag. South High Rebels. The band even had the flag emblazoned on their uniforms.
4. Kids (in every high school) are fucking stupid.
5. High School (and college) football games are plagued by sexist, racist and homophobic crap like this.
6. Wow. Just fucking wow.

I and an alumni of north high school and as far as I know this has been going on since before i was even born and its not just north its south also this is just like any other sporting event. ie: browns v steelers ohio state v michigan its sports people you know what your getting youself into before you go if you dont want to be around it then dont be
this is utterly stupid and everything that is wrong in our society. if someone commits suicide over a high school chant than darwinism is alive and well. guys, especially high school guys, commonly make fun of other guys as gay all the time knowing they are not, in fact, gay. as a liberal democrat, the gay movement is quickly catching up to peta in the stupid column.
anybody chanting anything similar at the catholic high school i attended would have been ejected from the stadium and/or disciplined when school reconvened the following week. and i'm talking class of 1982. there was a no-tolerance policy for bullying of any kind. probably a big part of the reason i've always viewed public school products as punks.
Mary Jo
If some schools in the early 80s understood why are other schools still permitting this behavior in 2010? Ignorant principals and teachers result in ignorant students.
Nicely Put Joseph, but you also forgot to mention that it has been a North/South Tradition and that "Powder blue faggots" is in response to South student's chanting "Halloween Homos."
The students of Eastlake North are not the only ones to be blamed and held accountable for this, they were just the only ones someone was overly sensitive enough to video tape.
This is being blown way out of proportion by someone trying to get their 15 minutes of fame and being swallowed up by a media just looking to add a little flavor into otherwise uneventful news lately.
Concerned Alum.
As an Alumni of Eastlake North, I understand both sides of this issue and strongly believe that even though it is horribly wrong, these specific students and any teachers present do not deserve to be punished with "public apologies " or criminal discipline. I know this chant well and have always refused to participate in it. With a sister who is a proud lesbian, I am a strong LGBT supporter and ally. I actively supported Eastlake North's student group, the Gay Straight Alliance, and participated in Ally Week and the Day of Silence. It has always been my wish for this chant to diminish. However, what makes this specific group and class of kids responsible for years of ignorance and abuse? Why should my friends, other active LGBT supporters, be punished for a mistake that has been repeated for generations? Oh yes, it must stop. This type of behavior cannot be condoned, but punishing these kids, these naive teenagers, or even their teachers, in an attempt to form a precedent of intolerance toward anti-gay harassment, is a step too harsh. These children need guidance and education of the effects which their actions cause. By suddenly implementing a policy with repercussions which the student body is unaware of will only negatively impact the school in general. The GSA should hold a rally at the school which invokes knowledge of the recent Bully-Caused suicides and promotes the students to stand up and end this "traditional" chant. Furthermore, the school should remind students that this "chant" is considered harassment and if this behavior continues, individuals will need to be held responsible and district policy must be implemented. Policy is in place and students must be aware of how it can, and will, affect them. In conclusion I would like to point out that Eastlake North High school teachers are extremely respectful and responsible people who in no way are accountable for the actions of these or previous students. I love my Alma Mater quite dearly and it hurts to see it so slandered throughout these past few months.
Pingback: Eastlake North High "powder blue faggots" chant gets defended. Really?()
For those of you defending the students actions (either explicitly or implicitly), I would like to know what you would say if they were using racial epithets instead. Would you really be claiming "hey, it's been the rivalry game of the year"?
yeahh were perfect !!!!!!!!!!! at least were not a boring city !!
well arent we a good little catholic boyyy !!!!!!
ummm everyone needs to get over this because it has been happening for as long as i can remember so GET OVER IT!!!!!
yeah, and while the public school kids were shouting asinine bullcrap from the sidelines we were busy crushing their football team by the score of 87-3. still happens to this day as a matter of fact.
how's your freshman year going?
North High School morons? Nothing like reporting a one sided story…Moron
why cant anyone report on how north raised over $9000 for United Way. or how we raised over $4000 dollars for The Wounded Warrior project. Were good people that are constantly giving back to the community. No one ever reports on that
Mary Jo
Todd, I haven't been able to get your words off my mind. Events that drive a young person to suicide are not going to aid evolution.
Teachers are not to blame for actions of the students at a high school football game. The games are not chaperoned school events. A teacher's job is to teach the curriculum while relating it to current events and life as applicable. It is not the teacher's job to raise other people's children and teach them every aspect of life. They are teachers, not nannies. Why not ask why the parents have raised children with inappropriate moral values and a lack of respect? To blame the teachers is to pass the responsibility.
this lady is a dumbass.
this video is an invasion of privacy, just saying. that stupid asshole woman who video taped this should be sued out her ass.

Good point tg.
you people are seriously ridiculous. public apologies? are you serious? this has been going been going on for years, on both sides. south has always chanted halloween homos and north has always chanted powder blue faggots. neither of these chants should be said, but they are. yes they should be stopped but i seriously dont think publicly apologzing is going to do nothing at all to these students. why do i think that? i just graduated from north last year and i personally know the students still attending north high this year. its just a chant that is said and the majority of the students at north are not bullied, i cant speak for south since i spent my four years at north but seriously i love how north gets blamed for all the bad stuff. i agree with taylor, nobody ever reports anything good that our school does, and half of what the news says isn't even true. if you older people haven't figured it out yet, but the news makes up half of the info they say, or just say the bad info to get you to read it. uhm hello have you heard of business? the news is a business trying to get you to watch them or read their paper, of course their not going to put anything good in it because the majority of society likes to read the bad stuff that goes on in this world, not the good. when in all reality i believe they should start reporting the good things that go on in society as well as the bad. north high school is not a bad school, the teachers are not to blame they are absolutley wonderful. I don't know one bad teacher at that school, or one teacher that would ever think that bullying is acceptable. they do what they can but they cannot punish students like their kids. prinicpal chauby is not a bad principal either and nobody can even say that she has not stopped the chant every single time it was heard. even the students in the stand try to stop those ignorant students from the chant, because i know the majority of my senior class last year did stop them before chauby even got a chance to. the woman who recorded this actually should be sued considering when is video taping underage kids without their permission legal???
Ranger Mom
OK, I have read every post. Does it occur to anyone that the reason these are the only two chants that are used is because they are not directed at any specific sexual orientation, or racial group, A racial slur would be sometihng directed at a group of people based solely on the color of their skin. Given the makeup of the student body you wont find that happening at North. The chants were part of a long rivalry, the woman who posted the video of underage high school kids, which is illegal as she has found out, is a local bar dj who was looking for her 15 minutes of fame. Bear in mind she too attended North. As for the Parochial schools, we have played and continue to play their schools and anyone naive enough to believe that those students don't have their own questionable chants and cheers really needs to get out of the house more. It was a chant directed at a rival high school during the biggest game of the year. Straight, gay, and bi sexual students were participating from both teams student sections, why? because they are all friends and never once saw those chants as anything close to hate crimes. Get over yourselves people, take some lessons from the kids who can tell the difference.
Or, you can be a grown up and teach your kids yelling a gay slur is not sportsmanship and is a tradition worth ending.
Seriously, how anyone is defending this is beyond me.

Thanks to DadsforLife invite, more than 10 families gathered at East Coast Park last weekend for a fun event.
This is not the first time the Kuan family has tried building sandcastles together, but in the past, Daddy Kuan usually just take photos and hardly get his hands dirty. So thanks to the
forced plans, I took time to join my girls on the beach too. After seeing the finished product, I am quite motivated to buy more digging equipment and probably give it another try.
Here are the girls posing with their fun pack.
It's a family event! All of us were involved, from digging of sands to designing the sandcastle, we had a fantastic time!
I assure you, I did my part too ok… After 30mins…
Look at all the other families working hard.
More amazing sandcastles by the different families.
Out of the 3 categories, we won the Coolest Sandcastle. Woohoo!!
Had a time to mingle around with other Daddy Bloggers.
If you want to get your family involved in future events, just like DadsforLife Facebook. Be connected and join us for future outings!

Having both your parents pass away within a year of each other certainly alters your life, wow. Talk about having the rug pulled right out from under you.
My parents were such a big part of my life, as most parents are to their children, when they passed away it left quite a void that I'm quite sure will be there for the rest of my life.
My two oldest children were fortunate enough to get know them and will always benefit from that interaction. My youngest son never got a chance to meet them, so he'll have to learn about them through our memories.
What's really amazing, and really crappy at the same time is that you don't even know what you don't know about your parents until their gone. Suddenly things you wanted to find out more about at some point, but thought "No big deal, I'm too busy to get into it now, we'll talk about it later", becomes put on hold indefinitely.
Information about your own history, about their lives growing up, relatives, etc., get lost because you think I don't really have to "learn" all that and internalize it myself, when I have a question I'll just ask my parents… Until all of a sudden they're not there anymore and you have no one to ask. You seem to grow up overnight when that happens… It happens to everyone at one point or another, and it will happen to my children too… but damn it would be nice to hit the rewind button once in a while, or have a hot-line to heaven so you could pick up the phone and get some quick advice. 🙂
My father, Chief Scott W. Rees, Jr. passed away 8 short months after my mother passed away. My parents were such a big influence on me, my friends and everyone who knew them. They were full of acceptance, integrity, honesty and grace. Everyone who knew them loved them, and once you were their friend – you were their friend for life. They were very loyal people who enjoyed life's simple pleasures, and making other feel warm and welcome. If I can grow to be half the person they were, I will have truly accomplished something.
The funny thing is, I think most of their great qualities skipped a generation! I can see a lot of my parents qualities and values instilled in my children, and I'm so very grateful for it.
The following is a copy of my father's obituary that appeared in the News Journal:
Chief of Police Scott W. Rees, Jr. (Ret.) passed away peacefully at his home on Saturday, May 29th, after a brief illness. Chief Rees is the son of former State Representative Scott W. Rees, Sr. and Carrie Anna Shaller and life long New Castle area resident.
Chief Rees was a veteran of WWII serving in the U.S. Navy and received an associate degree in advertising from Goldey Beacom College under the G.I. bill. In 1951, he started his law enforcement career as a police officer in New Castle City. In 1952, Chief Rees started with the Delaware Memorial Bridge Police as a patrolman and was quickly placed in charge at the rank of sergeant. He rose through the ranks as the DRBA's first sergeant, first lieutenant, first captain and only Chief of Police until he retired in 1991. The rank of Chief of Police was established by DRBA General Manager James Harkins.
During his law enforcement career, Chief Rees attended Northwestern University in Michigan for traffic accident investigation, was a life time member of the International Association Chief's of Police, a member of the International Bridge, Tunnel and Turnpike Association, the Delaware Safety Council, the Southern New Jersey Chief's Association, the Southeastern Pennsylvania Police Chief's association and helped found the Delaware Association of Chief's of Police, where he served as President.
The Delaware Association of Chief's of Police became the Delaware Police Chief's council of which he was a life member. He also helped establish the Delaware Police Chief's Foundation, an organization dedicated to raising funds for police departments in need of resources. He was awarded the first life membership in that organization this past May. At one point Chief Rees and his son Scott were the only father and son Chief's of Police in the nation. Chief Rees also established the DRBA Federal Credit Union and served as its president for many years. When Chief Rees retired from the Delaware River and Bay Authority in 1991 after a thirty nine year career, he had one of the longest Police service records in the country.
Chief Rees is pre-deceased by his wife of 54 years Adele who passed in October of 2003. He was a loving and kind father who is survived by his three sons, Chief Scott W. Rees III (Ret.), Frederick (Rick) Rees, and Christopher Rees. Chief Rees also is survived by eight grandchildren and three great grand children.
I created a memorial video that was displayed to family and friends at their memorial services, and was my way of giving trying to remind everyone that knew them, and show those that didn't, just how amazing they were.

A month after sheriff's deputies say Exavia Freeman shot at Jimmy Porter Sr. and missed, Jimmy 'Lil Jimmy' Lacoria Porter Jr. caught up with Freeman, 20, of Belle Glade on Avenue D and made sure he didn't miss.
The single gunshot wound to the eye sent Freeman to the hospital on July 25 and landed the younger Porter behind bars facing a first-degree attempted murder charge. But on Monday, a week before a trial in his case was to begin, Porter, 19, of Belle Glade, pleaded guilty to a lesser aggravated battery charge and was sentenced to the nearly six months he's already served at the Palm Beach County jail.
Palm Beach County Judge Barry Cohen sentenced Porter as part of a plea agreement between defense attorney Abigail Langweiler and Assistant State Attorney Jenica Lopez, according to court records. Cohen also gave Porter a year to pay $1,020 in court fines.
According to arrest reports, Freeman was sitting in a chair on a sidewalk in the 600 block of Southwest Avenue D in Belle Glade just before 10 p.m. when a man he later identified as 'Lil Jimmy' approached him armed with a gun and shot him.
Palm Beach County sheriffs detectives said deputies received a complaint about a month before the shooting that Freeman had shot at the elder Porter, who wasn't injured and refused to seek charges against Freeman.

The Honda Accord Hybrid Returns After a Year Off, More Efficient and Powerful
The 2015 Honda Accord was one of the most efficient cars on the road when it debuted, touting an EPA-estimated 50 mpg city fuel economy that made the sedans next-to-impossible to get ahold of in most areas. While Honda underestimated the demand in the past, they look to be a bit more prepared after taking a model year off, and the 2017 Honda Accord Hybrid even has a better fuel economy to boot.
Honda's Efficient Family Sedan
We mentioned how efficient the old Accord Hybrid was, and if you were just to glance at the new fuel economy specs, you might think it took a small hit on efficiency.
- The 2017 Accord Hybrid is rated at an EPA-estimated 49 mpg city, 47 mpg highway, and 48 mpg combined, which makes it a best-in-class fuel economy rating.
- The 2015 Hybrid, however, was listed at EPA-estimated 50 mpg in the city and 45 mpg on the highway for 47 mpg combined.
Now, even with these ratings the 2017 model comes out ahead by an inch, but the EPA instituted new fuel economy estimating rules that would put the 2015 model closer to 48 city, 45 highway, and 47 combined mpg. So the inch becomes a few inches and the Accord Hybrid becomes even more efficient than it looked at first glance.
As far as power is concerned, the upgraded engine received a boost of 16 hp over the 2015 model for a combined system output of 212 hp, the highest of any midsize hybrid sedan.
The Latest Features
As with any new Honda, this vehicle is decked out with some of the latest in connectivity and safety features, with Honda Sensing accident prevention technology coming standard on each model. Features like satellite-linked navigation, 7-inch Display Audio with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, heated front and rear seating, and more make this one of the most elegant and luxurious sedans in addition to being so remarkably fuel efficient.
Learn More at For Car Fans
As car fans, we have some team members who love hybrids and some who are a bit lukewarm here at For Car Fans, but we think that there's something for everyone in the 2017 Honda Accord, and drivers should reach out to their local Honda dealership to find out when they can take one for a test drive.
The 2013 Chevrolet Cruze Eco vs. the 2013 Honda Civic Hybrid
The 2013 Chevy Cruze Eco is an incredibly fuel efficient vehicle that opens up a whole new world of possibility for drivers. It's priced very low at only $20,490, making it an excellent investment for Chevy fans. However, the 2013 Honda Civic Hybrid is a nearly identical vehicle compared to the Cruze Eco, right down to the extremely close price of $20,395. So, which of these vehicles is the best?
Fuel Efficiency
Both of these cars are designed to be incredibly fuel efficient, and their ratings are so close that they're nearly impossible to choose between. The Cruze has a slightly lower city rating at about 28 mpg compared to the 29 mpg of the Civic. However, the Cruze also has a slightly higher highway rating of 42 mpg compared to the 41 mpg of the Civic. This means they average out to about the same, making it extremely difficult to base your choice on efficiency alone.
Engine Power
Again, both vehicles come with nearly identical engines. The Cruze sports a turbocharged V4 compared to the normal V4 of the Civic, but Honda offers a slightly larger engine at 1.8L compared to 1.4L of the Cruze. Chevy puts 138 hp compared to the Civic's 140 hp, hardly a huge difference, but the Cruze can pull 148 lb-ft of torque compared to the 128 with Honda. Overall, these slight differences seem to give the Cruze a small advantage: a smaller engine that produces very similar power and much higher torque can make a huge difference.
Warranty Options
So far, it seems the 2013 Chevy Cruze Eco has a slight advantage over the 2013 Honda Civic hybrid. However, the Cruze vaults itself to the top with its warranty options. Both vehicles offer an identical 3-year/36,000-mile basic warranty, but the Cruze has a superior 5-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty; Honda can only give you 60,000 miles. The Cruze also offers drivers a 3-year/36,000-mile rust warranty as well as a 5-year/100,000-mile roadside assistant package. The Civic offers neither of these options.
Picking between these two vehicles was very difficult, but the Cruze offers just a bit more value for the purchase. Its excellent warranty options and top-of-the-line in-class performance eek out a victory over the 2013 Honda Civic Hybrid.

JUTC chairman unfazed by calls for his removal
Jamaica Urban Transit Company (JUTC) Board Chairman, Reverend Garnett Roper says he's untroubled by calls for his removal.
Yesterday, the Jamaica Civil Service Association, JCSA and the Jamaica Labour Party called for the removal of both Roper and the company's Managing Director, Colin Campbell.
Following the second bus fare increase in a year, the JCSA says it's not satisfied that the JUTC's management team has the required competencies to effectively manage the struggling company.
The opposition took it one step further, issuing a call for the removal of Transport Minister, Dr Omar Davies as well.
Roper says persons are free to call for his removal.
He says while he's happy to serve, since he was appointed to the JUTC board, those who appointed him are within their rights to remove him if they see fit.
And, when asked whether he thought all was being done to effectively manage the JUTC, Roper declined to answer.
According to Roper, he leaves such pronouncements to the 'best judgment of others'.
Meanwhile, JUTC's Managing Director Colin Campbell says those calling for his removal, should check his record at the company.
Campbell says when he went to the JUTC on August 12 last year, the company was struggling to get 240 buses out daily.
He says today, the JUTC has 400 buses on the roads each day, resulting in additional revenue for the company.

FSX/P3D. This actually looks like yet another Aeroplane Heaven project but I can't find anything to indicate this. If not, then this is a new dev or an internal project. It's strikingly similar to the AH's Grumman F3F- 2 which is a really awesome addon. Either way, this is looking good so yeah, i'll get it when it's out.

When workplace responsibilities become "coastable", employees often float under the radar until annual review time and ultimately retirement, all while abandoning their ability to be accountable. That lack of accountability, according to Paul Samulski, "diminishes execution and individual and team performance. It creates and reinforces a culture of blame. While everyone is busy pointing fingers, deadlines don't get met, work remains below standard, and customers stay dissatisfied."
When employees don't take accountability, they complain. It's everyone's fault but theirs. They don't want to do anything, but hate for others to be called upon to help. And when things go wrong and they are questioned, they give the infamous line…
It's Above My Pay Grade
The ultimate cop out. This phrase makes me want to scream not only because it's the worse excuse to avoid work and maintain the status quo, but because it's always followed by a buck being passed. If this employee were denied an opportunity and told, "It's above your paygrade", they'd be ready to fight and then sue. But given the opportunity to slither out of working, it so easily flows from the lips.
This is why it's common to see lower-ranking employees given more access and/or privileges by management than their higher-ranking counterparts because they:
- Are trusted to actually do something with the access or information
- Are willing to learn to get things done while taking chances and being resourceful
- Are ready to take responsibility for their newly acquired skills and duties
Instead of spending so much of our attention on employees suffering from "It's above my pay grade-itis", spend more quality time in developing your more energetic and ambitious employees. The ones that will accept the extra assignments and go an extra mile or two or three. The ones that care about accomplishing the office or organizational goals and not just doing enough to cover their butts, collect a check and have health insurance. Either three things will occur with those "itis" stricken employees once the engaged ones begin to get the attention, praise and promotion:
- They will realize that it truly benefits them to buy-in and help the organization or office succeed.
- They will realize that there is no place for that their type of attitude and find employment elsewhere.
- They will continue to whisper, complain and be stagnant, only to end up working FOR the very employee that they once ridiculed and griped about. And if that employee was trained correctly, they will encourage them to come along for the ride or managed them right out of the building.
What Would Happen If…?
What would happen if…employees looked for and asked for tasks or projects that were "above their pay grades"? Our annual reviews would be full of examples and instances where we "Exceeded Expectations" instead of simply "Meeting". We would build portfolios of skills that would make us more promotable.
What would happen if…managers stop creating and allowing a culture of blame to exist in the workplace? While they take the opportunity to identify and develop the willing talent, they must also create and foster an environment of accountability by not addressing mistakes as faults but manageable opportunities. When managers blame, employees blame. They didn't start off disgruntled.
What would happen if…we stopped hiding our gifts and talents from our managers for fear of being asked to do more work? If we communicate and embrace our talents, we would more often find ourselves being asked to perform job duties where we operate in our gift….actually enjoying what we are doing! The fulfilling jobs can't be offered if no one knows that those are where your strengths lie.
"Work for the pay grade you want, not for the one that you're in." – Justin L Harris, 2014

DUNMORE — An additional police officer will be present at Dunmore School District buildings until at least the end of the school year.
At their meeting Monday, school board directors and officials discussed safety measures taken in the aftermath of the Parkland, Florida, school shooting. After the board's February meeting, board directors and borough council members met and municipal leaders decided to assign another officer to the school, according to school Director James McHale.
The extra officer will bump the number of borough police at the school to two and will be there until the end of the year, Superintendent John Marichak said after the meeting Monday night. District and borough officials will talk about making the addition last into next school year, Marichak said.
"It's not a permanent thing, though I'm sure we're working our way toward that," McHale said.
The addition of a second borough police officer is just one measure the district has taken or explored since Feb. 14, the day of the Florida shooting, Marichak said. The district has done work to its surveillance system that gives borough police real-time access to footage and met with vendors to add tinted film to windows at district buildings that make them shatter-resistant, he said.
"It's going to be a job that is continual and we're going to have to be very vigilant," McHale said.
In other business, board members unanimously approved adding Advanced Placement statistics and psychology courses for the 2018-19 school year, part of recent efforts to add more AP classes to the district curriculum, Marichak said.
AP courses are more vigorous, college-level courses. If students pass the exam with a score of 3 or higher, they can often receive college credit. Students who take AP exams earn scores between 1 and 5.
The new courses are important additions, Marichak said.
"Almost all college majors, regardless of specialty, you're going to have to take a statistics course or a psychology course," he said.

Once again, Kenya Ports Authority (KPA) women's side proved they are a force to reckon with when it comes to regional basketball championships.
This was evident after the Dockers successfully defended the 2017 Fiba Africa Zone V Clubs Basketball Championships that concluded at the Lugogo Indoor Arena in Kampala, Uganda, on Saturday night.
KPA managed to retain the title they won last year in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, on superior goal differences after finishing on 11 points apiece alongside Equity Bank Hawks and Uganda Christian University (UCU) Lady Canons.
On their way to bagging the overall victory, KPA were edged 69-68 by UCU but thrashed Equity 61-47, Horseed (Somalia) 85-32, KCCA (Uganda), Don Bosco (Tanzania) 93-43 and APR (Rwanda) 75-51.
And for the second year running, KPA managed to produce the Most Valuable Player (MVP), Natalie Akinyi, who was also named the Best Point Guard.
The victory granted KPA the leeway to represent the zone at the continental women's championships in Angola in November alongside runners-up Equity Bank.
"We had a bad start in the championships when we fell to UCU in our opening match, the good thing is I don't lose, I take the losses as lessons to rectify my next encounters," KPA head coach Anthony Ojukwu stated.
Equity deserved praise for making Kenya proud in the Kampala championships for finishing second overall in their debut.
Equity produced the Best Power Forward, Mercy Wanyama, sister to Victor Wanyama.

The time I Tried Online Dating

Friday, 13 February 2015
Friday Thirteenth
The gym was as good as empty. Pick of the machines!
I accidentally walked down the chilled pudding aisle at Tesco and a pudding accidentally slipped into my basket (perfecto for my Valentines dinner for one tomorrow!)
I had a Valentines surprise from Mummy Bear waiting on the mat when I got home.
I had soup for tea. With a hunk of tiger bread and cheese. Nom.
It just so happened that my favourite bunny jumper and bottoms had nicely dried and warmed up on the radiator when I got home.
I blogged! For the first time in over a month.
I signed up for my first blogger meet in Manchester. So excited!
Last but not least, it's FRIDAY!
Best of all we get to do Friday 13th all over again next month. How have your 'unlucky' days been?

Get Cheap Last Minute First Class Fares
Finding travelers the best deal on last minute first class tickets is what CheapBIZClass specializes in and is dedicated to. In order for our customers to be able to enjoy the luxury travel of first class, we would like to extend some of the tips to help travelers access the sometimes incredible deals offered by airlines to get discounted first class fares.
A few tips for cheap first class tickets:
1. Time to Get Flexible
Many of the greatest deals on first class airfare can be achieved through having some wiggle room on travel dates, departure times, and departure cities and destinations. Even having flexibility of travel within a few days can save hundreds of dollars for the savvy flier. Further, flexibility in buying package deals with hotels and car rentals can sometimes reap tremendous savings.
2. Embrace Upgrades
One of the best ways to get last minute business and first class rates is by upgrading to them. If you normally fly in business class, plan your last minute first class deal by upgrading from business class as these can often be cheaper than your regular class of flying.
3. Book Tickets Through A Specialized Travel Company
Not all travel companies are created equal, and this is never more apparent than when trying to secure discount first class tickets last minute. Very few travel companies are well-acquainted enough with airlines in order to be able to guarantee the best price first class tickets on last minute flights. Lucky for you, CheapBIZClass knows the ins and outs of last minute first class airfare deals.

Pest Control Services in Upatoi
Pest control companies in Upatoi GA are everywhere, and choosing for the right one can be quite confusing. It is important that you choose the right one so as to resolve your pest problem in no time.
There is nothing more annoying than to have those crawling bugs and pests around your house! Just imagine them partying around your kitchen and all! These will not only give you lots of mess, but they will also put your health in danger. Good thing there are now pest control companies which you can call and ask for help. Read this article and find out how to choose the right provider in your area today.
Your initial appointment with a Upatoi Georgia pest control company can be arranged through a salesperson. A salesperson is trained to discuss with you their insect control products. Salespeople are determined and several have been known to inform clientele of a detailed check that is necessary and will fit your needs and budget. Advertising those bug control products are prohibited by the insect control regulations. On the other hand, homeowners still have to purchase bug control products and choose services intelligently.
Here are some of the things you need to consider…
Is the van they used unclean and cluttered? Is the automobile clearly marked with the logo of the corporation with whom you are dealing? At the same time as performing their profession, are they thoughtful, polite, and cautious with your furniture? Do they put back the furnishings they move while they are working? Are they prepared, or did they repeatedly go to the van/vehicle for materials? Does the bug control staff always present himself as clean and proficient?
Insect killer must never be prepared as a solution in your house, or even in your workplace. Insect repellent must at all times be prepared in or at the service automobile or at the insect control group business place. Several technicians that prepared insect killer in your residence are not using standard bug control observance. The bug control staff must at all time keep the service paraphernalia and insect killer in a protected bug control automobile or examination cubicle when not in use.
It is truly against the rules for a bug control staff or its workers to carry out insect control products in a careless way. It is as well against the regulation for whichever insect control group or its workers to intentionally create fake or deceitful assertions, feign the outcome of resources or techniques, or fall short in utilizing techniques or equipment appropriate for the insect control agreed. Deceitful or confusing publicity is, furthermore, against regulation.

Amajimbos, Basetsana give SA winning start
- Updated: December 7, 2012
By Gareth Duncan in Lusaka, Zambia
The SA U17 men's and U20 women's football teams won their opening matches at the Zone VI Games on Thursday.
The SA U17 men's football team eased to a 4-0 win over Malawi at the Zanaco Sunset Stadium.
The Amajimbos opened Team South Africa's campaign at the Zone VI Games in style, dominating their first match in immense heat at the centre of Zambia's capital.
Midfielder Nhlakanipho Ntuli starred for the victors as scored two goals. Wing Bongani Khanyile, who put an outstanding first-half performance, opened the scoring, while captain and defender Ayabulela Magqwaka completed the rout with a strong volley inside the box.
Head coach Ephraim 'Shakes' Mashaba will admit that his side should've finished more of their chances, as poor finishing saw several other goal opportunities squandered.
The SA U17s went ahead in the eighth minute, after a long through ball from goalkeeper Sibongiseni Mhkize exposed the space down the Malawian right flank. Khanyile had the pace and vision to run on to the ball and he beat opposition goalkeeper Dalitso Makunganya on the inside post.
Malawi's best chance came via striker Vincent Chavi, who skied his attempt over the crossbar after a swift turn put him one-on-one with Mhkize. Either than that, Magqwaka and central partner Rivaldo Coetzee formed a strong rearguard on defence. Mhize also deserves plaudits for his safe hands and composure at the back.
Ntuli doubled South Africa's advantage shortly before half-time with an easy shot near goal. The Amajimbos held a 2-0 lead at the break.
The match was settled early in the second stanza, with Magqwaka's sweet strike finding the net in the 50th minute before Ntuli converted a penalty moments later.
Meanwhile, the Basetsana picked up a hard-fought 1-0 win over hosts Zambia at the Nkoloma Stadium.
The match was hailed as the feature fixture of the opening day, as it followed the opening ceremony and was played in front of a huge home crowd. But the SA U20s spoiled the party as they emerged as the victors after a physical game.
Both teams struggled to hold on to possession and lacked composure in front of goal, but the visitors' threat at the set-pieces created their breakthrough. Shortly before half-time, South Africa edged ahead thanks to midfielder Tshegofatso Makinta's effort. She latched on to defender Meagan Newman's long freekick and beat the Zambian goalkeeper from close range.
Zambia had most of the momentum in the second half, but couldn't turn their ascendancy into goals. Goalkeeper Kaylin Swart proved to be a hero for South Africa.
The hosts eventually found the back of the net – from a rebound following a great save from Swart – but the score was disallowed because of offside. The SA U20s did well to hold on for the win.

U.S. home sales rise in January as prices fall
By Alejandro Lazo for Los Angeles Times
Sales of U.S. homes rose for the third month in a row in January, an industry group said Wednesday, as the market experienced an increase in cash buyers and more foreclosures sold.
With so-called distressed sales high and demand weak, home prices have been experiencing a renewed decline in recent months. The national median home price was $158,800 in January, the lowest level in nine years, according to Reuters.
The National Assn. of Realtors said sales of previously owned homes were up 2.7% from December, to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 5.36 million homes. That was an increase of 5.3% from January 2010.
The real estate group has faced questions in recent weeks from economists about the way it reports its widely followed sales number. The Santa Ana analytics firm CoreLogic, for instance, estimates that the group overstated home sales by 15% to 20% in 2010.
Walter Molony, a spokesman for the real estate group, said its researchers are studying the matter and that CoreLogic's estimates are "premature at best." But Molony said the real estate group does plan to publish revisions this summer and has been in discussions with other economists and government agencies about its estimates.
If the group was to revise its sales numbers down it would be significant because that means there is probably more supply on the market than previously estimated. An excess of homes on the market contributes to downward pressure on home prices, particularly when buyers are scarce.
The group said that total housing inventory at the end of January fell 5.1% to 3.38 million existing homes available for sale, representing a supply of about seven months and just more than two weeks.

While creating a new app, many publishers fully focus on building a great app. Unfortunately, only a few of them will have the million-dollar-idea that will drive thousands of dollars entirely by itself. Of course, great features are the basis of app success, however, time and resources must also be invested into app marketing in order to make it successful.
Before you release your new Android or iOS app, there are many things to do. As many developers and publishers do not have the resources and experience to do app marketing wholeheartedly, we have made an ultimate checklist to help you save time and money and make your mobile app launch a success.
Save valuable time and download the ultimate app launch checklist to make your app successful.
Important Steps to take before you launch your app
In the following, we listed some of the most important steps you should take in order to launch your app successful. Have fun reading and don't forget to download the full checklist.
Do Market Research and know your customers
One of the most common pre-launch pitfalls in app business is not doing market research properly. At the very beginning of developing phase, you should identify the key players in your specific app category. Identifying market and competitors can bring useful insights into what your target audience likes and what you can do better to increase chances for establishing in the market.
Furthermore, you should ask yourself who your app is for and how your target audience could benefit from your features. Also think about what could make your app stand out in contrast to your competitors. These are important considerations that should influence your whole app marketing approach.
There are several tools and canvas, like the example below, that help you developing a business strategy and identifying value proposition.
Design is Power
Never underestimate the power of great design. It would be a shame if you developed some outstanding features for your app but nobody wants to use it because it simply looks ugly.
Ensure your app fits the Human Interface Guidelines for iOS and Android to avoid your app getting rejected by any store. Following these design and UI principles, you at can get sure your app will not get rejected because of its user interface. Furthermore, users will more likely use a good designed and relevant app.
Good design sells better. Of course your app features are decisive whether people will use it (on a regular basis) or not. However, you first have to sell it to them. Screenshots and Preview Videos are very powerful tools to drive downloads. In this blog post you can find an App Store Connect (iTunes Connect) Screenshot Sizes Cheat Sheet. Also an attractive app icon and appealing landing page can turn the scale in terms of app downloads.
Set up your web presence
Using the hype around your app launch, you should make sure that you can reach your target audience. The most cost-effective way to do this is to set up social media profiles popular with your target customers. Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn, Pinterest and other social platforms let you expand your web presence and allow you to directly communicate with your target audience. If your app targets specific age groups, identify the social networks that are most popular with people in this demographic and concentrate on them. Once you have all your profiles set up, post and share not only promotional but infomercial, funny and engaging content related to your app in order to build a community behind it.
As soon as your app is published, you can use your already established online presence to push web traffic to your app store page. Never forget to include appropriate app store links to your landing page and social profiles in order to drive downloads.
App Store Optimization for the win
As discussed in previous posts, App Store Optimization is the most effective way to increase your app's findability in app stores. And believe us or not, it is relevant from the very start of your app.
Besides app installs and ratings, keywords are the crucial ranking factors for your app. Therefore, you should make sure to optimize your app-metadata like app title, description or keyword field from the very beginning.
The App Launch Checklist
The App Launch Checklist should support you planning your marketing activities. The suggested actions are hints for you and represent steps, to take while idea-, development-, launch- and post-launch-phase.
Besides taking all those essential actions for App Marketing, you should not forget about thinking about mobile KPIs and how they apply to your business. Get a list of Top 50 KPIs in mobile here.

Good luck marketing your app!

Book Reviews
"This book goes beyond just sharing one's life. It manifests the whole sense of discovering the wonders of living. Gary has shown how it is possible to still enjoy living amid the problems. A worthy read."
—Virginia D. Byrd, Hanover, Maryland
"I was so touched by Gary Slemaker's life. The book gave me a reason not to quit whenever I'm faced with my own evils. He makes available to us the valuable lessons he learned from childhood to adulthood. That alone makes me want to be grateful."
—Ruth M. Garretson, Irvine, California
"A real gem, no doubt. I can relate a lot to his experiences. It's a great source of inspiration to all of us."
—John Phillips, Truckee, California
It's About Time to Get Up (amazon) is an autobiography of Gary Slemaker. The book chronicles Gary's life through early childhood in Washington, D.C., to growing up in the Dust Bowl of Texas, moving to Albuquerque, and settling as an adult in Los Angeles. It also journals Gary's work history, starting with menial jobs of his youth, to wiring printed circuit boards in a computer job lot factory, and then programing early computers. Gary's work history ends as CIO of William O'Neil & Company, a financial securities organization. Gary was one of those computer pioneers who forged the information technology world as we know it today. He was not Daniel Boone or Davy Crockett who opened the West. Gary was more like the guy who walked alongside the wagon as it moved west. I am giving it 4 stars for fun. Read more: http://blog.standishgroup.com
—James, Amazon Review
Gary, just a note to let you know I enjoyed reading your book. Found it very easy to read and the stories interesting... I would say, you have lived a good life.... Wishing you more Happy Days!!!
My life memories started earlier than most others. The very first awareness that I had of my existence was somewhere between the age of 8 and 11 months old and it was not a pleasant awareness. I have remembered that specific one or two-minute time of my life very vividly to this day. My mother and dad were at home so I suspect that it was a weekend. I found a shiny nickel on the wood floor of our red brick house and naturally as infants do at that age I put it into my mouth. As fate happens, it slipped into my throat and became lodged. I can still feel and remember how I was gagging so strongly one after another and not able to breathe with something sharp and hard stuck in my throat. I remember hearing my mom and dad's frantic voices in the background and suddenly, I was upside down and being shook forcefully. My dad had picked me up by my feet and was shaking me downward with an abrupt motion. I remember then hearing a beautiful sound of something hard hitting the wood floor and bounce and roll and then the immediate relief of being able to breathe and no more gagging. I associated that bounce sound with something that was good for me. This was a serious event at the beginning of my life that could have gone either way and the decision was made that I would be saved. It seems that my time was not over and I was still needed to accomplish something meaningful in my life? This was sign number one of being saved. This incident with my dad and mom gave me a subliminal message that if you try hard enough you can succeed. Why though my sister Louise? Why did she have to die?

WATCH: Running Virginia's Massanutten 100
The fourth installment of the Beast Coast film series follows Jamie Hobbs on his quest for a sub-24-hour buckle.
Trail Runner magazine October 12th, 2017
Jamie Hobbs grew up around ultras. His father was a trail ultrarunner, and he spent many weekends spectating. But he never thought he would be interested in ultras himself.
Hiking led to running, which led to longer distances.
This video, by Ron Heerkens Jr. follows Hobbs through two seasons of racing as he tackles Virginia's Hellgate 100k and, ultimately, the Massanutten 100.
Leave A Comment
Hi, TRM Staff! Hobbs`s story is very inspiring and Ron did amazing job filming it. I hope more people will be motivated to push their limits and work to accomplish their goals. This story of an amazing sport and not giving up really shows how powerful will can lead to the great results.

Perhaps the biggest reason the New York Mets are pulling away in the NL East is the acquisition of Yoenis Cespedes, who is gaining strong consideration for NL MVP.
Cespedes looks to continue his torrid pace and lead the Mets to a sixth straight win Saturday night against the Atlanta Braves, losers of 10 straight at home.
In search of a big bat at the July 31 trade deadline, New York (80-61) landed Cespedes in a deal with Detroit.
More from FoxSports
He's delivering in the biggest way possible, batting .313 with 39 RBIs while his 15 homers are the most by any player in his first 38 games with the Mets.
New York is 27-11 with Cespedes in the lineup, and 7-2 in a nine-game span during which he's hit .405 with six homers and 14 RBIs.
Cespedes went 3 for 5 with a two-run homer and an RBI double in Friday's 5-1 win over Atlanta (56-86), adding to the hype of him becoming the first Met to be named NL MVP.
"It is not about me, it is about the team," Cespedes said through a translator. "I am one part of the team. To be producing, and seeing the team winning, and everybody chipping in for one purpose. That is to play in the playoffs and hopefully we can bring the big trophy to the city."
The Mets are on their way to getting that chance, opening a season-high 8 1/2-game lead over struggling Washington.
"We have 21 left," manager Terry Collins said. "We have to go out and play the games. We have to win games. I'll be happy when we have an 8 1/2-game lead with eight to play."
Collins will also be happy if Noah Syndergaard (8-6, 3.31 ERA) can get back on track. The rookie right-hander, who had his last turn in the rotation skipped, is 2-1 with a 5.53 ERA in his last five starts. However, he's averaging 9.43 strikeouts per nine innings, nearly identical to his 9.36 mark over his previous seven games, during which he went 4-1 with a 1.44 ERA.
His recent issues, however, are leading to speculation that he could be moved to the bullpen for the playoffs.
Syndergaard allowed four runs in four innings of a 6-4 loss at Atlanta on June 20.
He'll face a Braves team that has lost 22 of 25 overall and 10 straight at home for the first time since dropping the 1987 finale and the first nine the following season. It's also tied for their single-season record set in 1977.
''You get mad and upset when there is a lack of effort, lack of hustle and we don't have that,'' manager Fredi Gonzalez said. ''We're going through some growing pains.''
Williams Perez (5-6, 5.42) has a chance to win consecutive starts for the first time since June 15 and 20.
The rookie right-hander followed those two victories by going 0-6 with an 8.85 ERA in eight starts before allowing two runs with seven strikeouts in seven innings of Monday's 7-2 win at Philadelphia.
"For once all my pitches were working, and I was locating," Perez said through an interpreter. "I felt really good out there."
Perez allowed four runs and solo homers to Curtis Granderson and Travis d'Arnaud in six innings opposite Syndergaard on June 20.

Thanksgiving - My Favorite Holiday!
From the writing desk of Christine Mazurk
Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays. It's a day to be thankful for all the blessings in our lives: family, friends, a writing career, and it's a day to share traditions with our loved ones.
If you've read any of my books, you know my heroines are in some way athletic. A few are serious competitors, while others simply run to clear their minds or plan their days. Some like to swim to unwind after a stressful day at work. Being an athlete made it natural for me to add activity to my characters' lives, and each one has her particular passion.
But why do I mention this in relation to Thanksgiving?
My husband and I started our own tradition many years ago. Part of the tradition came to us through my husband's aunt, who worked at The Drake Hotel in Chicago, and it worked well with our lifestyle. You see, we usually trained for some distance event (a marathon, a half-ironman or an ironman race) around Thanksgiving, so we needed a way to prepare the traditional turkey dinner without having to watch, baste, fuss over the bird.
Aunt Elaine shared how The Drake Hotel made theirs, and we jumped right on it. It allowed us to put the turkey in the oven and head off for a three to four hour run!
How you ask? I'll share the secret in just a minute, but let me first describe the outcome; moist on the inside, crispy brown skin on the outside, and if cooked for the specified time per pound, always perfect!!
Preheat oven to specified temperature.
Take a brown paper bag, and coat the inside with a stick of butter - just rub the butter around until the entire inside of the bag is coated. Prepare your turkey as usual, remove neck, and season with your favorite spices. I sprinkle all over the skin and throw some extra inside the cavity.
Place turkey in buttered bag, roll opening to seal. Place bag on turkey roasting pan and place in preheated oven, then leave it alone until the timer goes off (cook for specified minutes per pound).
When the timer buzzes, take the pan out of the oven, finish preparing your favorite side dishes, then tear open the bag, and Viola, the most beautifully browned turkey you'll ever see, ready to carve and enjoy!
For us, the best is walking into the house after a long run to smell the delicious aroma of our almost ready to eat turkey. We shower, prepare our side dishes, wait for our guests to arrive, then we sit down to a feast!
So from The Drake Hotel to aunt Elaine to us ... and now from us to you. We're sharing a fabulous way to enjoy an old tradition in a new way! Happy Thanksgiving!
