President wants to attract high tech manufacturing to DR
President Leonel Fernández's statement for Dominicans to put aside their pessimism and complaining and look to the future with optimism made the morning newspaper headlines today.
Speaking in Barahona, during a luncheon with community representatives and businessmen, he called for Dominicans to change their "mentality of complaints and wailing for one of optimism, confidence and faith in the future."
He said that what is important is that the economy grow, so that it can generate more jobs and investments, because the rest is mere talk. To achieve this, the nation needs to be permanently innovating, being creative and imaginative, and connecting itself with the outside world.
Then Fernández shared his vision of a Dominican Republic where high tech industries would be the base of development. He said that the nation needs to move ahead from basing its manufacturing industry on apparel, footwear, plastics, chemicals and pharmaceuticals. (Unless the US Congress passes the textile parity bill which is not very likely the DR apparel industry will continue to loose competitiveness with Mexico (benefited by NAFTA) and Central America (not restricted as Dominican factories are to buying more expensive US textiles.
Fernández explained that next month he will travel to Taiwan, a nation that exports US$125,000 million in high tech goods. Fernández says that present Dominican free zone exports are but US$4,000 million.
President Fernández believes the country should accept the challenge to become more like Taiwan. In Taiwan he will visit a high tech park, model of the kind he would like to see develop in the DR within the next 15 and 20 years. He envisions software, hardware, computer monitors, diskettes, micro robots, microprocessors being produced here.
"We cannot continue to lament, 'that this cannot be', 'that the other thing can't be', we can't continue complaining. A nation grows when its leaders have a vision of where things should be headed and plans based on this."
In Barahona, he spoke of the role Dominican universities will play in all this, preparing the young Dominican technicians of the future. "Universities can no longer be centers of disorder and anarchy; where stoppages and throwing rocks are problems. They have to have a vision of the future, of where the country is heading," he said. He insisted that universities need to become centers from where staff that will increase the nation's productivity can emerge.
Also part of this plan, next month will be the ground-breaking ceremony of the nation's first Cybernetic City. He explained the investments will be made by private capitalists not by the state. He explained that on his way back to the DR from Taiwan, he will make a stopover in Silicon Valley, California, to visit several high tech industries there too, and meet with leading area businessmen that have shown an interest.
He spoke of his goal to turn the DR into "the champion of economic development in the Caribbean and Central America."
At the end of the Barahona improvised talk, the President urged the townspeople to not focus on what he called the "needs of poverty", such as 10 classrooms for a university, a water pump, or repaving of a street. He said he would like to return and be asked, "Mr. President, we want a High Tech Industrial Park for Barahona."
Fernández was in Barahona to inaugurate public works totaling RD$300 million, including two aqueduct systems and public housing buildings.
Director of Corruption Prevention Unit resigns
Licenciado Justo Pedro Castellanos Khoury, director of the Department for the Prevention of Corruption, a dependency of the Attorney General of the DR, has resigned from the post. News sources speculate it was because of financial limitations he found in the position to exercise the department's mission of fighting corruption in the present administration, especially now that the country enters into an electoral period. The presidential election is scheduled for May 1999. His resignation is effective 30 August. El Siglo says that Castellanos Khoury was discouraged because the Attorney General's offices was not passing his cases on to the judiciary. The Department was created by the Fernández government to deter corruption in his government.
The office studied cases of irregularity under the previous central government and municipal government administrations. Cases that his office had studied were the construction of the Expreso Paris (under the administration of former Mayor Rafael Suberví-PRD), the Avenida Jacobo Majluta (built during the Balaguer administration-PRSC), the managing of funds at the Dominican Municipal League (under a PRD administration). Under the present PLD government, the office looked into irregularities at the Ministry of Sports, the remodeling of Nuestra Señora de la Altagracia Maternity Hospital and at the Oficina Metropolitana de Servicios de Autobuses (OMSA).
Construction foremen protest massive use of Haitian workers
The local Asociación de Maestros Constructores de Obras Autorizados, a union of construction foremen, has protested the intense use of Haitian workers in construction projects. There is a boom in construction in general in the city of Santo Domingo and private contractors have been hiring brigades of Haitian workers. For the Haitians it is a move up from trench opening, sugar cane cutting and other farming work. The construction foremen say the abundant supply of Haitian workers has depressed the wages Dominican construction workers would be making. The spokesman for the association of construction foremen estimated 80% of construction workers are today Haitians. He said that Dominican labor code establishes that only 20% of the personnel of any business can be foreign.
They didn't let the judges in
Security guards at the Playa Dorada beach complex blocked the entrance to two Supreme Court judges to Playa Dorada beach over the 16th August long weekend. Claiming they knew their rights all beaches in the DR are public, although access can be restricted the judges (probably keeping their anonymity) proceeded on to the Police Headquarters of Puerto Plata to place a complaint. The two judges were Julio Ibarra Ríos and Hugo Alvarez Valencia. The security guards said they had orders from the administration of Playa Dorada to not allow anyone into the complex that could not prove he/she would be staying at one of the 14 hotels in the complex. Upon their return to Santo Domingo, the judges took their complaint to their boss, the president of the Supreme Court of Justice.
Major reshuffling of Regional Police Commanders
The chief of the Police, Major General Pedro de Jesus Candelier Tejada reshuffled all regional commanders and appointed a director of the newly created Direccion General de Investigaciones Criminales. Brigade Rafael Bencosme Candelier was appointed director of that department.
Brigade General Raul Almonte Lluberes was appointed General Inspector of the Police. The new regional commanders are:
Northeast (based in San Francisco de Macorís):
General Juan Ramon de la Cruz Martínez
East (based in San Pedro de Macorís):
General Carlos Reyes Mora
South (based in Barahona)
General Vinicio Perdomo Feliz
Northwest (based in Puerto Plata):

As March 11 Nears
Chairman Takashi Imai Japan Atomic Industrial Forum, Inc.
A year has almost passed since the Great East Japan Earthquake. I cannot but still grieve for all the people who lost family members, friends, homes and more, many living now as evacuees.
The accident at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station of the Tokyo Electric Power Co., Inc. (TEPCO)
on local communities that had grown up around the station, seriously disrupting lives and
throwing people into turmoil.
It had, beyond that, major national and international consequences.
of the peaceful uses of nuclear energy, we had to face squarely and accept that so many people, including those who had supported nuclear power for many years, are now in
very difficult situations.
We sincerely apologize.
"Without recovery of Fukushima, there is no future for nuclear power in Japan" – this is the commitment of the nuclear industry. We will devote ourselves entirely to restoration of municipalities around the station and to decommissioning the reactors.
In order for Japan to continue nuclear power generation, it is obvious that no similar accident must ever occur again. The lessons of the accident will be learned and safety will be optimized. Various bodies, including the government administration and the Diet, are investigating and verifying the accident, while the nuclear industry has analyzed and verified it on its own and all utility companies have already strengthened safety measures at their individual plants. In addition, given that utilities are primarily responsible for ensuring nuclear safety, and based on lessons learned from the accident,
the utility companies will proactively endeavor to improve and ensure nuclear safety. A new organization will also be established to help strengthen safety at nuclear power plants, including severe accident measures, will be enhanced fundamentally, endeavoring thus to
recover public trust.
Nationally, the government is reforming its regulatory system to improve its capabilities, and also to
restore trust
in nuclear safety administration. In order to improve effectiveness of safety regulation based on what has been learned from the accident, the quality in regulation must be changed, including meeting with global standards – for example, safety principles of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), and pursuit of scientific, rational judgments based on risk information. The new regulatory body must have its independence guaranteed.
The accident at Fukushima greatly damaged people's trust in safety of nuclear power.
Electricity normally generated by nuclear energy – about 30% of total generated electricity, making nuclear a key power source –
is at the moment being provided by thermal power, from units that had been suspended but were restarted as an emergency measure. The prices of fossil fuels have been rising and supply is vulnerable to the situation in the Middle East. It is obviously important that people and industries make further efforts to conserve energy. In all, however, we must not fail to recognize that the foundation for our electricity supply, which supports our sophisticated lifestyles and advanced industry, is now very fragile.
From the viewpoint of combating global warming by controlling CO2 emissions, dependence on fossil fuels will have to be reduced. Solar and wind power, which are renewable energies that do not emit CO2, should be introduced as much as possible, but they cannot immediately play the role that a primary power source, nuclear power, has played.
For all of these reasons, I think the nuclear power plants that are suspended for periodic inspections, and whose safety has been reaffirmed, should be restarted promptly after the national government and their operators
explain their safety, importance, etc., precisely and carefully, to, and obtain the understanding of, the people nationally and in the siting areas.
In light of the seriousness of the damage from the accident and people's
feelings against nuclear generation,
debates on reviewing energy policy are in the direction of reducing dependence on nuclear power.
Energy, however, underlies people's lives as well as industrial and economic activities – the nation itself. Thus, energy policy will have to be decided based on a long, international perspective, hard data, and after exhaustive discussions in a cool manner – all so as to simultaneously achieve the multiple goals of safety, stable supply, low-carbon emissions, economy and more.
The nuclear industry believes that maintaining nuclear power generation is important for the future of Japan in respect of energy security, environmental compatibility and economic efficiency. For this, we in the industry must take to heart the results of accident investigations and ask for wisdom both inside and outside the country to further enhance safety and support the recovery of Fukushima. We also have to disclose information as much as possible, contributing to discussions in society. This is the only way to regain trust.
The world is watching us. Where will Japan's energy policy go? For the sake of sustainable growth of our country, we expect a cool, nationwide debate from a long-term perspective and global point of view.
end quote
Well we know Sweden will urge Japan to build more nukes.
The much promoted electricity shortage in Japan is thus admitted to be one tied to costs rather than generating capacity.
Funny how the nuclear industry promotes itself as knowing everything, that the voter's opinions in its view are ignorant, that it is pointless arguing against nuke. Yet everytime there is a major nuclear fuckup, from Trinity to Hanford, to the Green Run, to all the reactor accidents, all the spills, all the lies, they say "sorry".
And promise to learn the lessons. Happens every time.
Meanwhile, around the world, openess in nuclear industry is diluted by national security laws. Why? because the first reason for nuclear reactors is to make plutonium to make bombs.
So where is Japan going to put it's nuclear waste? Maralinga?

Ever since seeing Beijing's punk poster-boys Reflector at Xining's Material Life Music Bar, I've been thinking an awful lot about tattoos. This Material Life Music Bar was full of inked Chinese and foreigners; it was the highest volume of tattoos I'd seen in a while and the inspiration for the following rant.
There are two topics I've been thinking about: i) Having Tattoos in China and ii) Getting Tattoos in Foreign Languages (especially Chinese or Tibetan).
Even though in recent times tattoos have become slightly more acceptable in the Chinese mainstream, tattoos still carry a social stigma. This article from China Daily showcases the growing trend of tattoos among China's young people, but also hints at the slow-changing tattoo-wariness shared by the traditionally minded.
The wariness is easy to understand given the sordid history of tattoos in China. In his article "Street Scenes of Subalternity," Michael R. Dutton explains some philosophical and historical background about why tattoos remain subversive in Chinese culture:
Dutton continues by describing how gangs of criminals adopted tattooing as a way to forge group identity and to "mark [themselves] outside the society."
To sum up, tattoos have traditionally been the mark of outcasts and organized criminals. I've also heard it said that prostitutes also favor having tattoos, possibly as group identifiers or, more innocuously, as preferred ways for covering up unsightly scars.

The Environmental Protection Agency is slowly pulling the curtains on a controversial Wal-Mart proposed for Crofton, a senior aide for state Sen. Janet Greenip told area residents last night.And that's just fine by me. What kind of a jerk company wants to destroy environmentally sensitive areas just so they can put in yet another behemoth of a store (121,473-square-foot store with 616 parking spaces) anyway? A jerk company like Wal-Mart, that's who!
"We have knowledge that the EPA is slowing it down to a halt. At this point it looks like it's not going to happen," Justin Ready, the Crofton Republican's chief of staff, said at a meeting of the Greater Crofton Council.
The EPA has control over Wal-Mart's quest for a non-tidal wetlands permit, an authorization that is needed for construction to begin.

First Pratt & Whitney PurePower® PW1524G engine testing advances
Ground testing of Pratt & Whitney's first PW1524G engine for the Bombardier CSeries family of aircraft continues on schedule validating performance expectations. The engine is the first of an eight-engine validation and certification program. Pratt & Whitney is a United Technologies Corp. (NYSE: UTX) company.
"We are extremely pleased with the test results indicating that the overall engine performance is well aligned with our pre-test expectations," said Bob Saia, vice president, Next Generation Product Family. "The engine has accumulated approximately sixty hours of testing with more than 2,000 sensors. To date we have validated full engine operability, engine fuel and lubrication systems and overall mechanical characteristics. The engine has completed about half of its test program."
The PW1500G engine test program will run a total of eight test engines over the next 24 months with engine certification and aircraft first flight scheduled for 2012. Entry into service is scheduled for 2013. German flag carrier, Deutsche Lufthansa, Lease Corporation International and Republic Airways have placed firm orders for a total of 90 Bombardier CSeries aircraft.
Pratt & Whitney concluded PurePower engine core testing earlier this year with more than 260 accumulated test hours. In addition to the core testing, Pratt & Whitney has performed critical module-level testing for the PurePower engine program, including fan drive gear system testing with simulations of more than 60,000 takeoffs and landings, and hundreds of hours of testing on the low and high-pressure compressor with advanced designs meeting or exceeding efficiency and operability goals.
The PurePower family of engines is designed to power the next generation of passenger aircraft. The combination of its gear system and advanced core allows PurePower engines to deliver double-digit improvements in fuel efficiency and emissions with a 50-percent reduction in noise over today's engines.
The PurePower engine also has been selected as exclusive power for the Mitsubishi Regional Jet scheduled to enter service in 2014, and to power the new Irkut MC-21 narrow-body jet scheduled to enter service in 2016.

Meet the Coaches
Coach May has hired two new coaches this year. The first one that I caught to get some background information from is Coach Cheryl Gourley.
She grew up in the New Mexico desert and recalls one of her first races being on toasty fall day in the Sandia Mountains. 'I remember this early meet the best because one of my teammates actually passed out and was hallucinating that she saw me running through puddles of water throughout the course. It was such a dry, hot day; there was definitely no water around!'
No one in particular influenced her to start running. While walking home from middle school one day she saw the high school woman's cross country team running past. After that moment she never had any doubts that she wanted to run, and has been ever since!
After 4 years in high school, college cross country, and many mountain endurance runs post college she hasn't changed her mind.
She has been coming to Montana since 2008 to work on trail crews for the Forest Service. After finishing her MS in Exercise Science she decided to become a Bozeman resident in 2010 in order to work for the Nutrition Research Lab at MSU. Other sports she enjoys include African dance, Flamenco dance (maybe mostly watching), and rock climbing.

Southampton provide the perfect opponent for Manchester United right now as the south coast club haven't achieved a Premier League win since beating Everton on November 26. They are winless in their last seven, and a big reason why is their inability to score.
They have scored just six goals in six competitions this month, and even that statistic is heavily inflated, because two of those scoring strikes came late against Tottenham Hotspur, when they were already down 5-0. So essentially one third of their goals in December have come via garbage time, when their opponent was already able to take their foot off the gas pedal.
This is exactly the kind of opponent United manager Jose Mourinho needs right now as his side is winless in their last three and looking to end 2017 on a better note and maybe carry some positive momentum forward into 2018. Mourinho made some well publicized comments on Boxing Day claiming that his side can't compete with Manchester City because they don't have the resources to match the league leaders in regards to spending on players.
This inspired Mourinho's arch-rival, Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger, to throw shade at Mourinho yesterday.
Moving on to the United starting XI prediction, here's what we came up with.
Romelu Lukaku
Anthony Martial Jesse Lingard Juan Mata
Nemanja Matic Paul Pogba
Ashley Young Phil Jones Chris Smalling Matteo Darmian
David de Gea
We'll have video of Mourinho's press conference tomorrow. Here is the link to the full match injury/fitness report
Anthony Martial is back in training, and provides United with a major fitness boost, here's a link to more on that.
Odds: Man United- 2/5 Draw- 15/4 Southampton- 15/2
Prediction: United 1, Southampton 0

HEBRON — It took Roman Jandzinski weeks to work his magic with a chain saw on slabs of 6-foot pinewood, which he carefully carved into a life-like wizard and other mystical creatures and displayed them on his front lawn.
It took minutes for them to disappear.
Over the weekend, thieves stole three of the wooden sculptures from the front lawn of Jandzinski's home on a dead-end street, where he lives with his wife and two sons.

OK. Let me first say that handspindling gave me fits and that my husband had to censor me more than once with bleeps when I was learning. But I got it down pat, and ultimately I bought the wheel (incidentally, I'm calling her Charlotte. As in Charlotte A. Cavatica.) And so I offer my tips for spinning.
1. Make sure you have a good spindle. I started with a bottom-whorl spindle I picked up on the web, and within 48 hours had trekked to the LYS and purchased an Ashford top-whorl. Having the right spindle makes a HUGE difference in learning to spin. The Ashfords are under $20, and, well, I mean, c'mon. It's what they do ... it's what they live for.
2. Start with a small bit of roving, not a huge piece. About hand-size oughta do it.
3. Pick a fiber that works for you. I tried spinning first with wool, and ironically, the results were disasterous. I had an awful time drafting it, and hated it. So, when I picked up my Ashford spindle, I also picked up some alpaca. My advice? If you can, try playing with some fiber at the store before bringing it home. It's much easier to start with something that has a smooth draft.
4. Pre-draft the roving. When life gives you a big fat Sharpie, turn it into a pencil. That's right, take some time to draft the roving out to spinning width. Using two hands, hold the roving in your left hand and gently tug a little out at a time with your right hand. Turn that hand-sized bit into a long length of ready-to-spin fiber.
5. Start a leader. Instructions tell you to start with some handspun or commercially spun yarn as a leader. I prefer to use whichever fiber I'm working with. Don't ask me why; I have no idea. It just seems easier for me. Start the leader by looping about an inch of your under the hook on your spindle. Like this:
And then pinch the end in with the rest and give the spindle a spin. Don't worry if it's big and fat. It's the leader, after all, and if you start off making thicker yarn, then you have few problems with breaks early on. That said, spin that spindle and practice moving your left fingers back until you have three or four inches of leader. Use the "spin and park" technique. (When the spindle stops, park it between your knees.) It will stop rather quickly because 1) you're working with thicker yarn (which doesn't need much twist); and 2) you're working on a small drafted amount (it won't take the twist long to move up your drafted portion). Take a minute and make a leader and then wind it on your spindle.
6. Spin the spindle. Hold the spindle between your knees with the fiber in your right hand. Pinch the leader (what you already spun) with your left hand, (ignore the rest of the fiber for a minute) and give the spindle a spin. Then park it between your knees.
7. Let in some twist. You may notice at this point that you feel some tension in the already-spun yarn. That's the force of the twist building up. It's what you want to feel. That said, with the spindle parked and your right hand free, use your right fingers to pinch just to the right of your left fingers. Don't release your left fingers until you have pinched with the right hand. Then, place the left fingers a few inches up the fiber supply. You should be holding a segment that looks like this (I'm only using one hand here because I needed one to use the camera. Pay attention to the arrows -- the red arrow is where your right hand should be pinching. The green arrow is where the twist buildup should be, the blue area your drafted-but-yet-untwisted fiber and the yellow the rest of your fiber supply.)
Now, you basically want to do that same "sleight of hand" trick you did before to let the twist in to your segment. Keep your left hand pinching off the fiber supply. Release your right pinch, and watch the twist move up the fiber. See that? Voila! Yarn!
And now, you go back to the beginning of steps 6&7. Keep going until you have enough to wind on the spindle shaft. Wind it up, but be sure to leave enough above the whorl to have enough to work with.
Let me stress my personal opinion that handspinning on a spindle is more about the way your hands move than about the way the spindle turns. Learning on a handspindle REALLY helped me learn the basics that I was then able to transfer over the wheel spinning (which goes so much faster -- it's easier to slow the process for learning purposes this way). It also helps because you're working with smaller amounts of fibers and therefore you're less likely to ruin large amounts while you're learning. That said... GOOD LUCK!

The Ice is finally gone! Everyone got to go back to school today. Rehm's school was delayed 2 hours (9:40 start), Charlotte's school was delayed 1 hour (10:30 start) and Ruby had a doctor appointment at 10:10. Yes, you are right I couldn't possibly be at all of those places at those times. So I dropped Rehm off at school and headed toward the doctor's office where I hoped to meet Michael at 10:00 so he could take Charlotte to school. For those of you who don't know, I drove Charlotte about 10 miles past her school to do this. Of course traffic was a nightmare, so I didn't get to the doctor's office until 10:25 so of course Charlotte didn't get to school at 10:30.
The Charlotte exchange was pretty comical. I unbuckled her from one car seat, buckled her in the other and handed Michael her backpack. Then they were off. About 15 minutes later I got a call from Michael that he didn't have her lunch box. Oops - it was still in Henry. Packed and ready to go but in the wrong car. Luckily when Michael was asking one of the teachers about lunch time so I would know when the have her lunch there they offered to make her a lunch so I wouldn't have to drop it by. Can I just say that made my day.
Ruby has another ear infection! This is her fifth one since the beginning of November. So after leaving the pediatrician I got to call the ENT to make an appointment to talk about getting tubes put in. Unfortunately he can't see her until the end of the month a few days after she finishes her antibiotic. Hopefully, she can make it to that appointment before she has another flare up. Poor baby. She did not sleep well last night and I spent most of the night in the recliner with her. It made me glad we splurged and bought the recliner - it was supposed to be my nursing chair for the twins but unfortunately nursing didn't work out. But it still gets plenty of use. Last night it was much more comfy that the couch would have been.
OK by now you are wondering what all of this has to do with stroller stalking
After the doctor and dropping of Ruby's Rx we went to the mall to return some stainless steel flatware. It was a Christmas present that I truly was thrilled to get. Unfortunately when we washed it the first time it came out of the dishwasher with RUST on it! I didn't think stainless steel could do that. So I'll be looking for new flatware soon.
While at the mall I saw a lady with a double stroller I had considered purchasing . However, I could not find one in real life to look at and did not want to purchase it sight unseen as it was really expensive. So I decided on a combi instead (which I love). But when I saw this one today I wanted to get a closer look. So I followed the lady through the mall trying to nonchalantly catch up with her so I could check it out, find out where she got it and see if she liked it. Unfortunately I lost her. I'm still really bummed about this.
When I mentioned the stroller stalking to Michael he thought it was the craziest and dumbest thing ever. I think the exact response was "You did what? Why? Why would you even think about that when your already committed to another stroller?" So he obviously didn't get it but I'm sure some of you ladies out there will.
Why is it on days you don't do laundry one kid has an accident in their bed the night before (and doesn't bother to tell you until going to bed tonight) and the other throws up on the futon? Do they have some kind of "Mom has too much laundry to do let me really over whelm her" radar?
Off to do more laundry and make my grocery list. Oh boy, tomorrow I get to go to the grocery store with all three girls. That is always an adventure. Just a little public service anouncement. When you see someone pushing a stroller through the grocery store while pulling a cart behind them. Please smile nicely and give them plenty of room for turning down aisles. It really is as hard as it looks.

I apologize in advance but your post had me LOL... Well mostly the ending. I can see where Michael was coming from about the stroller, but I completely understand what you did and why!!
But the ending about the laundry had me laughing.... probably cause been there, done that. And I can just imagine the ARGHHH moment you felt.

Key Area 1: To improve the quality of teaching, learning and assessment
- Assessment – To develop, introduce and embed a whole school testing system that will integrate into the school's current assessment arrangements.
- Maths – To improve the teaching of mathematics across the school ensuring a rapid improvement in pupils fluency skills.
- Teaching and learning – continue to develop Assessment for Learning across the school to ensure that pupils are appropriately challenged and supported.
- Reading for pleasure – Look at ways of further developing and promoting this across the school.
- To ensure that pupils are given the opportunity to develop reading, writing, maths and communication skills in all areas of the curriculum.
- To further develop parental engagement sessions to develop their confidence in supporting their child at home.
- To consider the implications of the Y4 multiplication tables test to be introduced in 2019. How are we ensuring that pupils are fully prepared for this?
Key Area 2: To improve pupil outcomes by raising standards and improving progress
- To maintain the percentage of pupils passing the year 1 Phonics test to ensure that this is at least in line with National.
- To ensure that the high standards at key Stage 1 are maintained for all groups.
- To rapidly accelerate progress and attainment of all groups in Key Stage 2 to ensure that the percentage of pupils achieving the expected standard in reading, writing, maths and GPS are in line with those nationally.
- To ensure that the percentage of pupils exceeding the expected standards in KS2 increases from 2017 towards National.
- To narrow the progress and achievement gaps for disadvantaged pupils.
- To ensure that SEND pupils continue to meet their personalised targets and that progress gaps between SEND pupils and non-SEND pupils narrow.
Key Area 3: To develop the leadership and management of the school
- To ensure that the new testing system is used to accurately track the detailed progress of pupils and that half-termly pupil progress meetings rigorously hold teachers to account for the progress of individual pupils and groups of pupils throughout the school.
- To improve and increase parental engagement opportunities for parents through maths calculation methods and reciprocal reading sessions for all year groups.
- To review the school's curriculum to ensure that it remains broad and balanced, allowing pupils to acquire knowledge and develop subject specific skills.
- To continue to review the effectiveness of the governing body, developing a new approach to strategic planning.
Key Area 4: To improve the personal development, behaviour and welfare of pupils
- To continue to develop pupils' understanding of British Values, particularly through off site visits, visitors to school, the school council and links with other schools.
- To further develop pupils' confidence, resilience and positive attitudes towards their learning through the development of a growth mindset.
- Attendance – to continue to closely monitor attendance of all groups and to narrow the gaps in attendance between pupil premium and non-pupil premium pupils.
- Sports Premium – To further increase the number of pupils participating in school clubs, intra-school and inter-school competitions. Work towards attaining the PE/Active Mark.
- To ensure that pupils develop a good understanding of how to keep themselves healthy. They will have a good understanding of healthy relationships and can confidently explain how to stay safe online and the dangers of inappropriate use of mobile technology and social networking sites.
Key Area 5: Early Years
- To accelerate progress of all groups to ensure that the percentage of pupils making a good level of development is in line with national figures.

- To enhance the outdoor learning area to ensure that it provides provision for literacy and maths development.
- To develop closer links with Poplars Pre-School, developing common assessment procedures and moderation.

Jalan's Birthday Weekend
Well with the snow it was a little difficult for us to hang out.. We managed to go out on Sunday. We met up with a friend and his daughter and went to the movies to see Alvin and the Chipmunks, Bowling at Bowlmor and then had dinner and laughs at Uno's. Jalan pretty much got what he wanted some new video games, and a cell phone. All in all it was a good weekend, gone are the days of the crazy kid paties. He said he just wanted something simple and thats what we did....

"American menswear has never been stronger or more creative. ...(This is) an opportunity to demonstrate the collective talent of an important segment of our industry."- Steven Kolb, CEO of the CFDA,
The fashion community now has something to look forward to between the months of February and September. CFDA presented the first ever fashion week for Menswear this week in New York City. This 4 day event was held at the Skylight Clarkson Sq and held some of the best fashion designers in menswear.
The line up of designers was a mix of retail , well known fashion houses and up and coming designers. To name drop, big labels such as Tommy Hilfiger, Michael Kors and Calvin Klein were rubbing elbows with Michael Bastian, Public School and Carlos Campos.
Overall, designers came from different angles. Browne was minimal in color and stayed with shades of grey. Bastian was inspired by Bel Air LA and kept it cool and fresh. Hilfiger colection was colorful, tailored and nautical, while Nautica focused on bathing suits and opened rain jackets with perfectly chiseled bodies underneath.
My love for menswear is never ending and having 4 days dedicated solely to this section of fashion was very refreshing. It was also refreshing to have all the research I would have to do in September rolled into one event. CDFA has announce that this is a bi yearly event....cant wait to see what up for Fall 2016!!!
(Side Joke: I must be the only women who know the lineup for Thom Browne better then DVF? just saying...)
Some photos of Designs. See which one you think is my Favorite

WooHoo for me!
I turned on some music, turned on all the kitchen lights, made myself a cup of tea, sat at the kitchen table, and...got out my stitching!
Finished one flag. Decided to stitch down to the bottom on the right hand side of this piece (eagle exemplary - sheepish designs) because I'm stitching in hand. Today Rhodes stitch over 16 threads. I'm already looking forward to it.
But first.
Went to gym with darling son yesterday after school. I was doing just fine. I was already to leave, but he wasn't yet. So I decide just one more machine. Now I've got some muscle twingeing (sp?LOL) in my back. Today I was going to drag in the tree and the decorations from the garage across the street, but now I don't think so.
Tomorrow is supposed to be a super rainy stormy day and I'm chaperoning a bunch of high school students on a trip to a college conference on psychology anyway. Maybe I should just go Christmas shopping instead...

Syracuse University football coach Doug Marrone arrived in Rochester Thursday for what he anticipates is the first of many visits to Western New York.
The SU alum and first-year coach was part of the Syracuse University Football Coaches Clinic at RIT. The clinic will be making stops throughout New York as part of the program's effort to keep the top players from leaving after high school.
Over 200 coaches from various levels attended.
"When I was a player we had a lot of people from the surrounding area who came out and supported our team," he said. "We want to make sure that we are accessible and available. I wanted to make sure we go after the top players."
Marrone is hoping that clinics like Thursday's will get players interested in the program at a young age. Many of the coaches in attendance led teams at the youth level.
Despite the struggles of Greg Robinson, the Orange were able to lure plenty of the Empire State's most talented players during his tenure. Twenty-one players listed on the 2009 SU roster hail from New York, including Mike Stenclik (Webster Schroeder) and Averin Collier (Churchville-Chili).
"We have some very good coaches and players in the area," Marrone said. "Hopefully, we can get those players to Syracuse."
While Marrone is excited to build up his own tradition of bringing the state's best to Central New York, he doesn't intend on leaving some of the school's rituals behind.
Marrone and the rest of the coaching staff kicked off the start of spring practices with the burning of the shoe. Players would touch a pair of shoes, and then the shoes with negative thoughts were thrown into a fire.
He had his defensive players wear red jerseys and offensive in green during practices. This was started by SU coaching legend Dick MacPherson.
"I have to do a good job of educating our players on the history of our school," Marrone said. "Just because you put up a statue or plaque from a team of the past that doesn't mean the players are going to look at it and get educated. We want our players to identify with past success."
Marrone enjoyed an impressive playing career with SU starting on the offensive line for three years. He earned postseason honors all three seasons.
The current situation of the Orange program is familiar to Marrone. He finished 3-8 his first season but then went 19-15 the final three.
Marrone was selected by the Raiders in the sixth round of the 1986 NFL Draft and played two seasons. He finished his playing career with the London Monarchs of NFL Europe.
"When I was a player I knew that I had to put that work in, and I think the harder you work the more you want to win," Marrone said. "If you are going to put in that time you want to make sure you are getting results. I have always believed that hard work equals wins."
Marrone started his coaching career as a tight ends coach with SUNY Cortland in 1992. He coached at Georgia Tech from 1995-99 before earning jobs at Georgia and Tennessee the next two years.
Marrone landed a job with the New York Jets in 2001, leading the team's offensive line for four seasons. He coached in four playoff games during his time with New York.
He accepted the offensive coordinator position under Sean Payton in New Orleans in 2006 and found immediate success, engineering the league's top rated offense. The Saints led the league in total offense last season.
"It gave me the ability to learn a lot about football," Marrone said about coaching in the NFL. "The NFL is a great league, with great players run by extremely smart men. I want to bring a lot of these principles with me into recruiting."
Marrone will look to lead one of Division I's most struggling programs back to prominence.
The team won 10 games in four years under Greg Robinson, including a 3-9 finish last season. Syracuse has not been to a bowl game since the 2004 season.
"I am not going to sit here and say that we are not going to win because we don't have the right players," Marrone said. "I am not going to create any excuses. If you know what scheme you have, you can win with anyone's players."
Bryan Sullivan can be reached at (585) 394-0770 ext. 273 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
FOR THE RECORD: Doug Marrone: Rookie coach looks to revive SU football
Syracuse University football coach Doug Marrone arrived in Rochester Thursday for what he anticipates is the first of many visits to Western New York.

For people like Apryl with fine hair that often doesn't have any life to it, John Linkert is about to blow your mind!
With all the products out there it can be overwhelming to find the right one for you. Apryl has tried it all! She even permed her hair once to get volume. It was a disaster!
John recommends the obvious: volumizing shampoo and conditioner, a volume mousse and spray. What is not so obvious is using dry shampoo when you need that extra lift. He also recommends a good back combing.
"Not teasing!" He says. "That was in the 80's. We're back combing and there's a huge difference."
John uses two different tools. One is your standard comb and the other is a bristled brush that offers the perfect combination of back combing and smoothing.
When back combing, grab pieces of your hair (around the crown) and pull away from the scalp. Put the brush or the comb near the end of that strand and push the hair toward the scalp. You will get what John calls a bed or small rats nest. Next, gently smooth out the top of that nest, leaving a bit underneath.
"You want to hide nest, not get rid of it."
John says do this all around your hair where you want added volume and don't forget the front! It adds balance.

Hello Clark,
It is a privilege to inform you that you are being considered
for inclusion into the 2009/2010 Princeton Premier Honors Edition Registry.
This recognition is an honor shared by only the most accomplished professionals who have demonstrated excellence within their careers and communities.
Inclusion into the Princeton Premier global network is
considered a benchmark of achievement. Once accepted, your successes are documented and preserved for all time in the hardcover registry, which is distributed throughout the world.
There is no cost to be included in the registry. Simply complete your application form and submit it within five business days to be considered for publication.
You may access our application form using the following link:
On behalf of the entire Princeton Premier community, best wishes for continued success.
Jay Harris
Managing Director
Princeton Premier
"Ewww! Well, look at him!", you're saying right about now.
That's right, haters. I'm being considered! For inclusion this time. That means they're paying some consideration to including me. In case you didn't already know, inclusion is a very exclusive thing. They don't consider just anybody for inclusion. For one thing, you've got to have a functional email address. Those are not a dime a dozen, although most of them are free. Then, you have to be able to click on a link and fill out a form. Many people might be able to do one or the other. Do you know anybody who can do both? They might be 2009/2010 Princeton Premier Honors Edition Registry material. Maybe. On top of all this, you have to be an accomplished professional who has demonstrated something in the whatever or something or other. Clearly, these people have seen me play cell phone Tetris because I do that really well, better than many people who still play Tetris, I would say. I have every single one of the high scores on my phone.
Coincidentally, I have been seeking the kind of benchmark of achievement that would document and preserve all of my successes in a hardcover publication with worldwide distribution. On Sunday I was at Wal Mart where I asked a clerk, "excuse me, do you have any benchmarks of achievement that would document and preserve all of my successes in a hardcover publication with worldwide distribution?" and of course, they did. In bulk. $12.99 for a pack of four. Ah, but inclusion in the Princeton Premier Honors Edition Registry is free (albeit, sans Hannah Montana puffy stickers).
All in all, a pretty tempting proposition, but I'm going to pass. Mainly because it sounds awfully permanent. What if I follow up all of my many achievements and successes this year by becoming the genocidal despot of an African nation next year? It could happen. Then somebody sitting in the lobby of a Hilton in Djibouti leafing through a copy of the 2009/2010 Princeton Premier Honors Edition Registry might come across my profile and say, "oh, I don't think they should have considered him for inclusion." Mr. Harris would probably be pretty embarrassed. In spite of whatever atrocities I might be involved in at that time, I think I'd still find time to feel kind of bad about that.
Maybe next year.

With only two home games and one road contest left on the schedule for both teams, the Rutgers men's and women's basketball teams are looking to finish out their regular seasons strong. For the women's team, that starts tonight at 7:30 when they take on the Providence Friars at the RAC. The No. 22/23 Scarlet Knights (17-7, 10-3) come into the game tied with Marquette for second-place in the BIG EAST and are looking to hold on to that spot in order to clinch a first round bye in the BIG EAST Tournament, which is awarded to the top four teams. The Friars come into the game with a record of 13-13 overall (3-10 in the BIG EAST) and have lost nine out of their last 10. Rutgers has won 13 straight against the Providence dating back to 1997, and boast a 9-0 home record against them all-time.
The Rutgers Men's Basketball team (10-16, 3-10) is looking to make a late push for the BIG EAST Tournament with only three games left on their slate. The Knights currently are tied for 13th in the BIG EAST, but can help their chances of finishing in the top 12 and qualifying for the tournament if they can knock off Connecticut who is seated in the 12th spot with a conference record of 5-7. The Huskies (16-10 overall) will visit the RAC on Wednesday for a 7:30 tip-off. Rutgers took UConn into overtime the last time they met on February 3 in Hartford, and was without leading scorer JR Inman who will be in the line-up when the two teams meet Wednesday night. The game will be broadcast on FSNY, but with the temperatures warming up in Piscataway and only two home games left for both teams, it's a perfect time to come out and support both the Men's and Women's teams by rocking the RAC.

Ordinate dimensioning
Ordinate dimensioning
My question is about positive and negative dimensioning in ordinate dimensioning. Say I have a panel to a chassis. There is a cutout from the front and a spotface from the rear. If I dimension the hole from the front (front view) from left to right, that is a positive number. Then I give a rear view. When I dimension from the same corner (formerly on the left and now on the right side of the view) does that number now become a negative number? I understand negative and positive from the xy graph, but if the part is flipped over in the view, does that now become a negative number? My feeling is that it would still be a positive number, but I may be wrong.
RE: Ordinate dimensioning
Negative dimensions only make sense in tables that are related to coordinate systems. Otherwise they have no directionality and represent the distance between items, which can only be greater than or equal to zero.
RE: Ordinate dimensioning
Agreed. Dimensions to either side of an origin are always positive but it must always be clear what side of the origin their on.

Thanks to the Internet, those too lazy to research and make up their own minds can simply cut and paste anything they want and take possession of it as their way of thinking.
Well this article is for all those who have given up the right to think and have settled on parroting causes because they sound nice, or attack the right people, or are so stupid no one will ever know what you are talking about in your message.
Here is a word both liberals and conservatives have long forgotten, PROPAGANDA. Here are a few more lost words, TRUTH, COMPROMISE, KNOWLEDGE, WISDOM, COMPASSION, EQUALITY, well, the list goes on and on.
You see, probably close to 90% of all websites deliberately or stupidly distort the truth in order to sucker people into liking the site, which in turns gets fools to share the site so more fools will look at and share the site.
If you are a liberal, you have just become the greatest contributor to feeding the rich, your enemy, because you let someone make money from the ads embedded in the propaganda you posted. So next time you demand we redistribute the wealth you can start by NOT sharing info whose sole purpose is to line the pockets of the rich.
The same is true of the conservatives. Both the liberals and conservatives are clueless pawns in the game of power and greed. There seems to be nothing they can do to get out of the addiction they have to sharing untruths.
Somewhere along the way, they have lost the ability to think for themselves, to construct meaningful sentences to explain what they think, and to worry about such trivial issues as truth and consequences.
In short, the social advocates have politicized every good cause and polarized the population in the process. There is probably one hope left for the world and that is God triggering a massive solar eruption on the sun and bombarding the Earth with a solar storm.
By the way, that does not even require weapons of mass destruction.
The radiation will not harm humans but hopefully will destroy electronic equipment and infrastructure thus ending cell phones, texting, tweets, twits, streaming video, cyber space, the Internet, the senseless babble between uninformed robots called people, and bring peace at last to the world.
Of course, a side benefit might be the destruction of all triggering mechanisms for the vast arms dealers and warmongers and nations in possession of nuclear weapons since they are all electronic as well.
Are you willing to pay the price for peace? Are you ready to just shut up!

It's safe to say that for the most part the days of glamorous travel on commercial jets, when passengers would dress in their best suit and tie or skirt and blouse and step into the plush environment and cutting-edge technology of an airplane, are over. In the golden age of flight in North America, passengers were often fed full meals and strong drinks regardless of the flight time or the class they were flying. It's a far cry from today's busy airport surroundings, filled with bleary-eyed passengers in casual clothes that look better suited for the gym than a professional airport. Travellers are often forced to grab a greasy meal and lukewarm coffee in a terminal while running to make their next connection.
There is hope for weary flyers that long for a more sophisticated way to travel and more upscale shops and environment. In recent years, a couple of airports have begun to distinguish themselves by creating comfortable, well-designed interiors, offering expensive shopping options and providing a wide selection of gourmet food choices and even restaurants with celebrity chefs at the helm. Spas and relaxation centers have been added to many of the world's busiest airports to help harried passengers unwind. So while the days of glamorous airplane travel might be over, travellers can still get a taste of the good life on the go if they plan to transit through some of the world's more sophisticated airports.
6 San Francisco International Airport
In recent years, San Francisco (SFO) has distinguished itself with fashionable shopping, upscale dining, and of course, wine. Meals will satisfy passengers in transit who are longing for fresh, organic choices to take away hunger pains (and counteract the bad fast food from that previous airport layover). Napa Farms Market provides bagels, sandwiches, pizza and cupcakes highlighting local flavors, such as meals made with free range chicken and salads featuring locally-grown greens. Chef Tyler Florence's rotisserie is a passenger favorite, offering luscious chicken and designer sides. Lobster Mac and cheese also provides a hearty meal option at Cat Cora. If passengers are just in the mood for a snack, they can select a flavorful (and expensive) bite to take on the road –uh, air - from Simply Gourmet, which offers up caviar, truffles, meats and cheese. Of course, San Francisco is close to wine country, a fact the airport doesn't ignore. Vino Volo wine bar allows passengers to pick out a bottle (or more) of the region's best wines to take home as a souvenir. Once fully fed, passengers can stroll through the SFO museum (found in all four terminals), while younger travelers can take a look at the children's museum in Terminal 1. If they have any cash leftover after an expensive meal, passengers can have a shopping spree at Burberry, Gucci, Kiehl's and Mango. Just be sure to leave room in the carry on for all of the wine, food and clothes.
5 Miami International Airport
Although Miami International (MIA) is the gateway for a lot of American flyers heading to Central and South America and the Caribbean, the Latin flavor starts at the airport before passengers even step on the plane. Look for Lorena Garcia Cocina, restaurant run by celebrity chef Lorena Garcia. The menu includes ingredients that are prepared from scratch daily, a rarity in airports, and highlights dishes such as Caribbean jerk chicken, fine salads and shrimp ceviche. Shopping choices in MIA cater to its fashion-minded passengers and includes Coach, Emporio Armani, L'Occitane and Michael Kors.
4 Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport
Detroit Metropolitan (DTW) could prove to be an expensive layover. Upon landing, passengers might notice that the space looks more like a long, airy mall than a typical airport. A long layover can be whiled away by wandering up and down the McNamara terminal, picking up treasures from boutiques including L'Occitane, Pandora Jewelry, See's Candy, Spanx, The Body Shop and Swarovski, as well as a number of niche boutiques that are more frequently seen in a mall than in an airport. If passengers are feeling thirsty after all of the walking and shopping, a glass of local Michigan wine at Vino Volo or a margarita at one of several of the terminal's Mexican-style cantinas might be in order.
3 London Heathrow Airport
So much for the reputation of the Britain being the home of less-than-gourmet food. Heathrow (LHR) airport in the UK turns that unflattering rumour on its head: the airport has choices that will satisfy any gourmand. Passengers can indulge in a light meal of caviar at Caviar House & Prunier Seafood Bar that can easily ring up a tab of hundreds of dollars for caviar and a glass or two of fine wine. For a heartier meal, Celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay's Plane Food in Terminal 5 offers gourmet options. Pasta and risotto, steaks and meals to go are all on offer by the famous chef. Reservations for the restaurant can be made online, or for passengers in a bit of a rush, picnic baskets can be bought on the go. Afterwards, passengers can shop until boarding time at the legendary Harrod's, which has a store in each of the airport's five terminals.
2 Hong Kong International Airport
Reportedly the most expensive airport ever built, the busy Hong Kong (HKG) airport was actually built on an artificial island. With around 160 shops, the airport offers extensive shopping options including big name designers such as Burberry, Chanel, Versace, Prada, Tiffany, Giorgio Armani beauty and Kiehl's. More homegrown fashions can be found at the Chinese luxury label Shanghai Tang, offering garments in sumptuous brocades, silk, velvet and cashmere. The airport offers much more than just shopping: travellers can practice their swing at an indoor golf course that offers nine holes or catch a flick at the airport's 3D IMAX theatre.
2. Incheon International Airport
Another of the busiest airports in the world, Incheon, South Korea (ICN) provides some welcome opportunities for deep relaxation: a spa and sauna, Thai massages and private sleeping rooms. Passengers in need of fresh air after long-haul flights can forget they are in an airport and meander through seven gardens and relax on an observation deck. There's also a space run by the Cultural Museum of Korea for travelers to get a dose of Korean culture on the go.
1 Singapore Changi Airport
Singapore Changi Airport (SIN) was clearly designed to help passengers unwind. Filled with lots of greenery and a butterfly garden, the airport also offers passengers an outdoor pool to while away the hours between layovers in leisure. In some ways the airport resembles a resort more than a transportation hub: it also has movie theatres, spas, showers and a four-story slide. After travelers have had the opportunity to completely unwind, they can take a taste of relaxation on the road with trendy teas from the TWG Tea Boutiques. Once their energy is restored, if they still have time before their flight, the more fashion-minded can peruse upscale labels at Prada, Gucci, Bvlgari, Chloé, and Miu Miu.

This comes not longer after the same government announced an increase in the Inheritance Tax threshold, which means that people can now inherit up to £1m without paying any of it in tax to the beleaguered coffers.
Mr Cameron gets angry when he is accused of running a government for the rich. It's all about giving assistance to the most deserving, apparently.

Wed., August 23, 1933 - Cloudy this a.m. but cleared up in the afternoon. Ola and family came in this morning to spend the day. Ola was helping unload gravel down town. I went home with them this evening and took our washing along. Annie and I are going to wash together tomorrow. Mom has to work at Kochs' tomorrow and at H. E. Simans' Friday.
Thurs., August 24, 1933 - Today wasn't such a nice wash day; no wind to blow out the wrinkles in the clothes. Edwin came down to help Ola. When Mom was coming after me this evening something broke in the car and now it won't run. Edwin, Florence, Louis and I went to the dance Bob Fenske was giving at Hoskins tonite. The boys and I stayed at Meta's place all nite.
Fri., August 25, 1933 - Came home at 7:00 just as Mom left to go to Simans'. I slept some more this morning. Howard came after me to go to lodge tonite and took me home afterwards. We had some good watermelon for lunch tonite.
I guess I never hung enough wet clothes on the clothesline. I remembered too much wind wasn't good as it could damage clothes. I never thought about just enough wind to help with wrinkles.
I just realized I had not commented on here yet about Uncle John passing away. As much as his family likely wished he could go back to how he was and to stay with them longer, I am sure he and Aunt Helen are sharing drinks and hearty laughs in the hereafter now.
It's not the greatest photo, but I think they'd get a chuckle out of it. Everyone is so serious here, even Bill while in the midst of a silly gesture. Grandpa looks downright gloomy. Or disgusted. Gotta love this family!

With services for private parties, corporate events, weddings and more, SK Entertainment strives for unmatched customer service. Based in Brooklyn, NY, President and Founder Steward Kwan said that the team goes through a rigorous training process to ensure that every event will go off without a hitch.
"Our DJs are highly skilled and know how to move a dance floor," Kwan said. "I've been to a lot of weddings and the DJ can't mix live and keep the energy level going. We put our DJs through rigorous training to make sure they are ready for show time."
Every element of an event is planned so that SK Entertainment can provide entertainment at every minute. There are no dull moments, according to Kwan. Between dancing and activities, Kwan said the key to keeping the momentum going is to fill the void with toasts and speeches.
At weddings, SK Entertainment puts a personalized touch on a couple's first dance. Personalized songs are created by holding separate interviews with the bride and groom. Their answers are used to compose a song that the couple can keep forever.
"The thing I enjoy most about my profession is the smiles on the faces of the party goers," Kwan said. "I love putting smiles on people's faces while making a living for my family. I Take care of every event like my own. Whatever occasion the people are celebrating, I treat every party as the most important event in their lives."
There are six different packages available through SK Entertainment, depending on how elaborate the client wants the party to be. The basic package includes a DJ/MC, LED lights, sound equipment and microphones. All other packages include these essentials and add more. Some add-ons include projection screens, televisions, moving lights and more.

Chivy-chan for me..
She's the best friend that you could ever have, she's nice, smart, pretty, funny, helpful and loving. Whenever I would have a problem, she would always have a solution.
To tell you the truth, I sometimes get scared whenever she's not around with me or we get separated, I don't know why but that's how I feel. She's like a sister to me even though she acts like a kid.
I'm very thankful because GOD gave me a Best Friend like her, I really enjoy her company because I feel comfortable whenever I'm with her..
TO CHIVY-CHAN: ARIGATOU GOZAIMASU ! There will always be a ONE and ONLY YOU. Thanks a lot for everything!

A federal judge ruled in September that a similar law in Utah violated the privacy rights of an offender who challenged it, though the narrow ruling applied only to one offender who had a military conviction on sex offenses but was never in Utah's court or prison system.
Critics worry about privacy No one in Georgia has challenged the law yet, but critics say it threatens the privacy of sex offenders and burdens cash-strapped law enforcement officials.
While not explicit, Jordan didn't want his kids to see it."Even my daughter could have gone into that world as a guest.
Georgia joins a small band of states complying with guidelines in a 2006 federal law requiring authorities to track Internet addresses of sex offenders, but it is among the first to take the extra step of forcing its 16,000 offenders to turn in their passwords as well.

He says he noticed the chat function in one of the most popular virtual worlds, "Meep City" appeared to block words with hashtags."There were little pound signs where ever there would have been a vulgar word," Jordan said.
But what disturbed him was what he found in party rooms."Looking in the beds they had people -- the little avatars-- having sex and simulating sex acts," Jordan said.10News, KSDK's sister station in Florida, downloaded the app and found similar scenes playing out in party rooms.

With just two weeks to go until Christmas Eve, Ruddington was turned into a winter wonderland today – as shown by this slideshow of village photographs posted to our social media sites:-
Our thanks to everyone who shared a snowy photo. As you can see, there was quite a lot of dog walking going on!
Although Ruddington was not affected as badly as many parts of the region it was certainly enough to put many people into a festive mood – especially as the snow fell on a Sunday. Despite this, Perkins Hardware opened especially today to sell sledges – whilst passengers on the fully booked GCRN Santa Special trains couldn't have hoped for a more scenic journey!

The Secret Ingredient is SPITE
So, I caved. Sorta.
Yes, that picture is of a brand new neckwarmer, or "cowl", as they are commonly referred to as. (Batman's headpiece is a cowl, for the record, and he wouldn't be caught dead in one of these awful scarflettes.) I am not changing my stance that I established earlier, not at all. But I did make one, clearly.
Before you start making an i-cord noose, remember that I only asked you to hang me if I priced it above… what was it? $15. And that's what I'm asking. Technically, I said $10 or $15, but this was a 2-ball sucker, and was more unwieldy than I'd expected. (The experience of fitting so many stitches on 9-inch needles prompted me to bid on — and win!! — a bunch of circulars on eBay. Yay!) I still stand by this being a pittance compared to other neckwarmers, though.
As for why I made it (and also to explain the title): spite. I do not like cowls, and I made it to spite the trend by pricing it cheaply. In fact, 2/3 of the yarn came from a weird half-scarf that I got for less than a dollar at the thrift store.I knew right away that it was Lion Brand T&Q, and that I had some scraps of the same color, and the idea was born in that instant. Over last weekend, I cast on 50-odd stitches of kitchener ribbing, knitted it up extremely high and called it good.
So, I hope someone actually buys it over at the shop once it's listed. I'm waiting for a white wall and some daylight before getting the Etsy pictures done. I hope that when the future owner wears it they can feel the cold, disdainful negativity that went into every stitch. (And I hope they feel like they got a deal!)

On two occasions in the past twelve months
I have failed, when someone at a party
spoke of him with a dismissive scorn,
to stand up for D. H. Lawrence,
a man who burned like an acetylene torch
from one end to the other of his life.
These individuals, whose relationship to literature
is approximately that of a tree shredder
to stands of old-growth forest,
these people leaned back in their chairs,
bellies full of dry white wine and the ovum of some foreign fish,
and casually dropped his name
the way pygmies with their little poison spears
strut around the carcass of a fallen elephant.
"O Elephant," they say,
"you are not so big and brave today!"
It's a bad day when people speak of their superiors
with a contempt they haven't earned,
and it's a sorry thing when certain other people
don't defend the great dead ones
who have opened up the world before them.
And though, in the catalogue of my betrayals,
this is a fairly minor entry,
I resolve, if the occasion should recur,
to uncheck my tongue and say,
"I love the spectacle of maggots condescending to a corpse,
"or, "You should be so lucky in your brainy, bloodless life
as to deserve to lift
just one of D. H. Lawrence's urine samples
to your arid psychobiographic
theory-tainted lips."
Or maybe I'll just take the shortcut
between the spirit and the flesh,
and punch someone in the face,
because human beings haven't come that far
in their effort to subdue the body,
and we still walk around like zombies
in our dying, burning world,
able to do little more
than fight, and fuck, and crow,
something Lawrence wrote about
in such a manner
as to make us seem magnificent.

A couple of weeks ago Tony Hoagland was the subject of Robert Pinsky's Poet's Choice column. I was amused by the poem selected, What Narcissism Means to Me, the title poem of Hoagland's latest collection.There is a wonderfully thorough review of the collection here.
I scouted around and found more poems and essays. Like the reviewer above noted, Hoagland's titles such as Smallpox Vaccination Sutra, Hate Hotel draw you in for a closer look which is rewarded. The poems Bad Intelligence and Operations, which are critical and poke fun at the military, both resonated with me because as a military intelligence linguist I had taken part in the lamely named Operation Just Cause. (Immediately redubbed Operation Just Because We Want the Panama Canal Back.) What ever happened to the semantically null but cool names like Operation Overlord? This attraction of titles is true not only for his poems but also for one his essays on poetry from the Poetry Daily website, Negative Capability: How to Talk Mean and Influence People.
Anyway,I chose the poem above as an example of his work for a couple of reasons. It is delightfully wicked and I have recently felt the same regrets of the narrator (In my case it was Don Delillo being run down and I really couldn't speak up because I was eavesdropping). Another reason is that I too have spoken with 'unearned contempt' of writers without really reading them closely or at all.(Seriously though, I will not go near Lady Chatterly's Lover again unless its the Cinemax late night movie version.) Enough rambling, mistakes will be corrected as noted. Have a good weekend. I leave you with another of his poems since I probably won't post anything for a couple of days.

Sometimes I wish I were still out
on the back porch, drinking jet fuel
with the boys, getting louder and louder
as the empty cans drop out of our paws
like booster rockets falling back to Earth
and we soar up into the summer stars.
Summer. The big sky river rushes overhead,
bearing asteroids and mist, blind fish
and old space suits with skeletons inside.
On Earth, men celebrate their hairiness,
and it is good, a way of letting life
out of the box, uncapping the bottle
to let the effervescence gush
through the narrow, usually constricted neck.
And now the crickets plug in their appliances
in unison, and then the fireflies flash
dots and dashes in the grass, like punctuation
for the labyrinthine, untrue tales of sex
someone is telling in the dark, though
no one really hears. We gaze into the night
as if remembering the bright unbroken planet
we once came from,
to which we will never
be permitted to return.
We are amazed how hurt we are.
We would give anything for what we have.
