When Kelley Hester was hired by Greenville's Furman University in 2012, she knew what was expected of her: rebuild the once-proud Lady Paladins golf program. But then, that was nothing new for the former Georgia player and coach, who has been rebuilding women's college golf teams most of her coaching career.
In 2016, it's the same story at Clemson, where Hester was hired as the women's golf coach. "Clemson has the resources to build something special," she says.
Indeed, Hester's previous stops were at SEC members Arkansas and Georgia (five seasons each), where she produced top-20 golf teams and such outstanding players as Stacy Lewis, a one-time No. 1 LPGA player, and Silva Zamora, the NCAA's 2011 player of the year.
Hester says Clemson's situation is "probably a lot like everywhere I've been: For whatever reason, the program was not where it should be. My path is to help built it, mend relationships (with players), help change the culture. It's what I've always done in the past. I don't know if I love doing that, but life keeps putting me in that situation."
One personal benefit: Hester and husband Trey (the couple has a nine-year-old daughter) won't have to move from their Travelers Rest home. "My husband has a good job, so I'll be making that drive to Clemson every day," she says, laughing.
Besides "a great core group of talent" to work with, Hester says Clemson's traditional powerhouse men's team, led by veteran coaches Larry Penley (three decades-plus at his alma mater) and assistant Jordan Byrd (a Furman graduate), is a major bonus.
"Larry and Jordan have been all on-board to help," she says. "I'm excited to be around their program. They've had a lot of success with South Carolina players and have put a large number of those on the (PGA) Tour."
Hester's expectations are to do something similar with Clemson's women. It's a new town and a new school – but the same task she's been doing for years.
Hometown: Macon, Ga.
Bio: Four-time letter-winner at Georgia (1993-96), member of 1993 and 1994 SEC champions; began UNLV golf program; coached five seasons at Arkansas and five seasons at Georgia; coached at Furman University, 2012-16.
Highlights: Southern Conference coach of the year and conference championships, 2015 and 2016; led Furman to 20th-place NCAA finish, 2016; produced Southern Conference players of the year, 2015 and 2016; led Georgia to five NCAA Regional appearances, finishing 10th (2008) and 15th (2009) nationally; players include Arkansas' Stacy Lewis (former world No. 1) and Georgia's Silva Zamora (NCAA player of the year, 2011).
Where to play: "I think golf in the Upstate is wonderful, and we've played quite a few courses (Furman golf team). The Reserve at Lake Keowee is a wonderful facility, and we had access to The Cliffs at Mountain Park. Furman University Golf Club is a wonderful public course, and I've been involved with an LPGA girls golf club there to help grow grassroots-level girls golf in South Carolina."
"I think a hidden gem is Crosswinds in Greenville, a par-3 course where we took our Furman teams; it's wonderful for all levels of skill, and has some of the best greens in Greenville. At Clemson we have the Walker Course, which hosts a lot of junior golf. I've walked it several times but haven't played it yet; just walking it was a challenge."
Where to eat: "My husband (Trey) and I live in Travelers Rest, so we like the Swamp Rabbit Brewery there; it's a great place to hang out. So is Shortfield's, a Travelers Rest sports bar. And there's a new sushi place there, Sushi Yama. Travelers Rest is an up-and-coming area."
"In downtown Greenville, we like Smoke on the Water, which is right at Falls Park and a great representative of what downtown is about. They have wonderful barbecue; my husband likes their pimento cheese burger, and a nice ice cream place, Spill the Beans, is right there, too, and afterward you can take a walk on the suspension bridge. We also like Nose Dive, which has small plates and dinner options and is a great place to decompress after work. They have good beers and a well-rounded menu."
"We also like going to Greenville Drive baseball games at Fluor Field, and when we're there, we like to eat at Liberty Tap Room and Mac's Speed Shop. Both are yummy."
What to do for fun: "My husband is a competitive bass fisherman, so he loves Lake Hartwell and is learning about Lake Keowee; any time on the water is a good time. I like to ride bikes in early morning on the Swamp Rabbit Trail with our nine-year-old daughter. We'll stop at the Swamp Rabbit Grocery about halfway between Greenville and Travelers Rest to get provisions for our adventure. And we've spent a lot of time on the Furman campus, which is beautiful. A lot of people who aren't associated with the university also enjoy the lake and the trails there."

The sea that flows,
No rhyme, no reason,
The howl grows,
Its not the seaoson.
With no push or shove it carries on,
Silica in the air settles on cheeks,
The sun blazes, sweat colours the textile lawn,
Wet shirt; I could be one among the freaks.
Sky lights up,
Crows the unusual entertainers,
Its a full story, not a stub,
Head rests on my hands; just the manners.

Entrepreneurs. Proprietors and proprietresses. Impresarios. Mavens. Hustlers. I am lucky and grateful to come across these types of people in my life. This past week, I've felt even luckier as I've had solid time with three of these muses in particular and been reminded of another level, a certain sense of clarity, and the embodiment of a vision.
Last week kicked off with Ty McBride. Ty and I have revolved around each other for years in the footwear business, seeing each other at tradeshows and briefly filling each other in between showing shoes to customers. We had similar roles, meaning we both had a bunch of different roles at our respective companies, and I always felt that if anyone knew what my job was like, it would be Ty. Not to mention, Ty has a presence about him, so when he would pop into my booth, things became a bit brighter. Recently, Ty struck out on his own, starting TMI and working with new clients. When we reunited for an appointment to see one of my lines and some chat time, I was blown away with Ty. He's in a stage I can relate to: just starting out, not quite comfortable in what money will be coming in and when, building up a portfolio, choosing who to work with, and very excited yet bearing future-uncertain pressure. In this can-be-awkward stage, Ty carries on as any good diva would, with style, panache, know-how, and confidence. While I understand his concerns, all I can see is his amazing energy, experience, and eye. We chatted about his work with Jeffrey Campbell, their yummy new styles, and his position with the company. He introduced me to Austrailian footwear line Senso, which he is bringing to the states exclusively on Solestruck.com, another client he is working with. Ty made me laugh and in the same breath made spot on observations and handled business.
Next up in my week was time with Susana Victoria. I met Susana a couple years back as she shot me for a couple photo shoots. I admired her pinup photography, band photos, and shooting for magazines, and after working with her was even more impressed. She not only has a strong portfolio, I learned she has a particular taste, a great eye, and skill in getting what she is shooting to meet what she's looking for. Working with her was fantastic as she coached me, directed every aspect, and was always in communication leading up to and after the shoots. Also impressive was Susana was beyond competent and running her business while still in high school. Now 21 and in town to shoot the NYC Tattoo Convention, I got to tag along with Susana, watching her pick out people and art I didn't notice, whisper notes on who was who in the industry, and position the camera and people just right to capture shots. At the end of the first day shooting at the convention, Susana shared with me her goals for the next two days. They weren't her editor's wishes, they were above and beyond. Susana verbally planned how many people to shoot in the studio, how many other photos to do, and what it would take to happen. Over the next two days, Susana made things work when the situations weren't ideal to do so and met all of her goals.
Rounding out my week of entrepreneurial muses was a visit from Israel from Anat Saddick. Anat is a joy to be around, complete with a charming accent, style, and always genuinely interested in how I am and what is going on with me. We met a few years ago as she presented why she wanted to be our distributor in Israel and I soon accepted. Anat had such a passion for all the brands she worked with, bringing them to Israel, and a track record to back up her pitch. As we began our working relationship, I found Anat to be the one I never worried about as she was always on time for deadlines and in communication about anything that came up. We openly shared concerns and worked well together as we understood the other's position. I looked forward to Anat's emails as they were always bright and encouraging, sometimes my saving grace amongst hundreds of other emails and demands. And in her first season working with us, Anat brought in more press coverage than we had seen in months. Eventually Anat and I stopped working with that company, but luckily we kept in touch. As we caught up this week, I learned Anat continues to work with Melissa and is looking for her next lines to not only distribute in Israel, but brands to get behind, pioneer, spread word about, and put her whole heart into. She's not looking for just a paycheck, she's looking for a new passion to share. The sparkle in her eye and excitement to find her next step were not only reassuring to see for her, but they inspired me, too.
All three of my encounters with entrepreneurs this week have been unique, with different businesses and personalities. But I saw a similar confidence, passion, and humility with all of them. They ask questions, ask for help when needed, and offer support, too. The future is yet to be shaped for these muses, but they lead into it with their own vision and talent. They remind me to own what I know and not only look for the next step, but to shape it how I want it to look.
Here's to all of us shaping our next levels.

While gray for concrete and black for asphalt are the most common driveway colors, the colors of stain, sealers and paint for driveways range from walnut brown, terra cotta and sand to vibrant options, such as rainforest green, aquamarine and court red. Most driveway coatings come in a variety of standard colors, but the availability of tints and other color additives makes options, such as lavender and mint green, unlimited. Darker colors, however, are typically recommended for driveways.
Other popular options for adding color and interest to driveways include using epoxy paint for various textures, using saw cuts and stain to create random or faux-tile patterns and adding a driveway border in a contrasting color. Using stencils to create abstract or geometric designs in complementary colors on the driveway is also a popular option.
Experts recommend that homeowners consider their home's exterior and roof colors and the landscaping as well as checking out pleasing color combinations from around the neighborhood when selecting colors for a driveway. Browns, red and forest greens may best complement a home in a lush, wooded setting, while sea blue or sand are good choices for a beach or lakeside home. Different colors can distinguish areas for cars from areas for foot traffic, while using one color to flow from driveway to footpath can tie the two elements together.

ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. – Two students with Down syndrome made history Friday night in Orange County when they were crowned homecoming king and queen by their fellow students.
Seniors Travjuan "Bubba" Hunter and Semone Adkins were crowned at a ceremony just prior to West Orange High's football game against Cyprus Creek. 12 students were in contention and the selections were kept top secret until Friday night's ceremony which was held on the football field.
According to Bubba's mom, Janice Morgan, Bubba and Semone have been life long friends and the two had never imagined sharing such and honor.
"I am so excited, I am so proud of my son," Morgan said.
Semone's mom added, "It was a dream come true, because I always knew that she was going to be something great in this world and this is just the beginning for us."

This I Believe
I believe in the will of the individual to make selfless decisions on the behalf of others. There are many people in this world that are good people, people that go out of their way to show kindness to a stranger, but what is more significant is their motivation. Some perform these selfless acts for the fear or praise of God, or for the fear and praise from people. The highest merit would be a person to aid others in spite of recognition for their acts, but purely for the betterment of society. There is nothing wrong with having a God to motivate you to do nice things, but those who do not need a mystical being to encourage them, and still perform moral acts of kindness, are the true honorees.
When I was in seventh grade I went with two of my best friends to Valley Fair Mall. Our plan had been laid out. We were going to steal clothes from all the major department stores, our main target being Nordstrom. I had truly never stolen anything, other than gum when I was 3. I don't believe I had ever even considered it. The motivation that kept me from stealing things before was the consequences I could face with authority. That one morning after Halloween I had let my fear of the consequences be diluted by my friend's pressure to steal. Of course the blame should not be all on them; I was excited about our plan. After we had scammed our way through many clothes in many stores I began to get greedier and with my request we headed over to Nordstrom. It would be our last store because as we were walking through those story-high doors guards ran after us like pit bulls after a mailman. I was dragged every slow embarrassing step to the back of the store in handcuffs. At that moment I was entirely regretful at the fact that we got caught, but in a year I was grateful the change it had brought me. I was able to establish my own moral code and understand that I had no right to those clothes and not because God said so but because I know what it feels like to have things stolen and I would not wish those feeling on anyone else. I have other motivations behind my actions and one of those would be that I would like to contribute to society so people can recognize me as a benefit to society, not a menace. We may not know if there is a God but we know for a fact that there are people like us and for that we must cherish them by performing acts of kindness.

A-Level Results
A-level(1) Results
We are tremendously proud of the excellent results achieved by our students at Lord Nelson Sixth Form. The summary below provides an overview of these.
Explanatory Notes:
(1)This includes both academic and vocational qualifications.
(2)We compare to all schools nationally; including fee paying.
*This denotes the figure is as high as it can be given the combination of courses followed: Not all students take three straight A-levels, they may do a combination of A-level, AS-level and vocational courses, therefore not all students are eligible for this measure.
– Figures in the first column show divisors for calculations. For example, there were 68 students in this Year 13 cohort.
– All measures here are for attainment only; they do not take into account students starting points. Figures for progress are published by the DfE later in the academic year.
Individual Successes and Destinations:
More important than overall academy results are the personal stories of achievement and future destinations for each individual student. We are proud for all of our students, but have highlighted a few below which represent the breadth of successes at the academy.

INT: Hackman/Hoffman
A few weeks back I was invited to New Orleans to meet with the cast and crew of the upcoming John Grisham adaptation. All the stars would be in attendance and it would be a first time for me talking to some of these legendary actors, whose work I've admired for years and years. There was no wasting time or easing into things slowly as Dustin Hoffman and Gene Hackman were the first off the bat. The came in together acting like the friends that they've been for the past 40 years. It certainly helps when Hoffman breaks the ice like so:DH: Now we have to lie and tell everybody how much we like each other. GH: Yes... Is this not surprising to you that this is the first time after all these years that someone thought of putting you two together in a movie? GH: Does it surprise us?... Yeah, I think there've been a couple of times when our names came up and he wanted too much money and I didn't do it. So what was it that brought you together this time? GH: Well I think it's a wonderful story... Did you all see the film last night? Yes. GH: I think it works. It's kind of a throwback film in a way. For me at least. It doesn't rely on a lot of electronic gadgets. DH: Well your character does. GH: Well yeah but...(laughs) This is the third time you've played a villain in a John Grisham thriller? What's the draw for you? GH: It just worked out this way. I wasn't searching for that. Just one of those things. DH: Did you ever meet [Grisham]? GH: Yeah I did actually. I met him in Memphis when we were doing THE FIRM. Nice man. DH: Yeah? GH: He has cast approval, by the way. On all his films. DH: He does? GH: Yeah. [To Gene] You seem like such a nice man but you play despicable so well. Is that the real you coming out? GH: (Laughs) Well it's part of me. (Laughs some more) We always try to use various things in our personalities we may not find attractive but we find them useful. How good of a housemate was Dustin back in the old days? GH: He was the worst. We had to hose the rooms down instead of sweeping them out (laughs). (Looks at DH) Are you gonna talk? (Laughs) Or are you just going to sit there? DH: (Laughs) I slept on a floor cause he had a small bedroom with his wife and then he had this little teeny bit of a larger room - it was a tenement - where there was stove with a board over it you'd use to dry the dishes because next to the stove was a tub, which was also the sink. So I'd have to take a bath while they were making breakfast. There was also a toilet next to that. All he's speaking about is the fact that when I had to...have my...morning bathroom, I-I didn't care if they were making eggs or not (laughs). And he's held that against me for forty years. So screw him! Did you guys dream of being movie stars back then? GH: No I would've been happy just with an off-off-Broadway job. And that's they way we both started. DH: Gene introduced me to Bob Duvall - that was the only way he could get me out of his apartment. Truly. I was supposed to stay there three days it ended up being three weeks. Bob was working all night at the post office. Gene was working for the Greenwich Village Padded Wagon Moving Company. I didn't even have a job yet. The three of us hung out together for years. Each of us had a different acting teacher and we're coming off the days of Rock Hudson, Troy Donahue - good looking guys. "Bonanza" and all that. We were character types. Meaning we're ugly (laughs). GH: Speak for yourself! DH: Well I was more ugly (laughs). But it's true. If God had come down with a pen and said, "The three of you sign a contract right now and you'll never get very far but you'll work. You'll have a part in an off-off-Broadway show for the rest of your life," we would've signed in a New York minute. Everybody in the room of every party we went, nobody would've thought. I still don't understand it. How do you explain your rise to stardom then? DH: A decline in the culture (laughs). GH: Standards were lowered... DH: The bar keeps getting lower and lower. GH: Everybody has a chance really. You just have to find the right property. And we all three individually were very fortunate to. DH: By the way, just a piece of trivia. The first time we would've worked together would've been THE GRADUATE. [To GH] You want to tell this? GH: No, go ahead. DH: Gene was cast as Mr. Robinson. And we were in rehearsal, we had rehearsed three weeks and it was at Paramount and Gene and I are in the Paramount bathroom. I think, in my memory, about six urinals separated us. And he looks over at me as he's taking a leak and says, "I'm gonna get fired." And I said, "What are you talking about?" He said, "I'm getting fired today. I can feel it." And he did. And that opened his career up because Warren Beatty said, "He's not doing it?!" and he put him in BONNIE AND CLYDE and that had a tremendous impact on Gene's career. Why did he get fired? DH: He's not a good actor (laughs). GH: I resent that laugh. I got fired because I think I didn't fulfill the director and the writer's idea of what the part should've been. I'm funny in rehearsal. I do a lot of searching around. I try not to perform until I really feel that I'm confident in what I'm doing. You can, you can go on your first day and perform and you probably won't go any further than that. But the way we were all saying in the 50s and the 60s, you need to keep searching and kicking things around. So I was doing that and I just took too much time. Considering you knew each other for so long what surprised you most about working with each other? GH: It's funny that...I wasn't surprised at all. I felt like we did work together. DH: We did, at school. GH: Yeah, at Pasadena Playhouse we did... DH: "Of Mice and Men." He was Lenny. He's a brilliant Lenny. GH: We also were double-cast in "Taming of the Shrew." We both played the same role. DH: We both played the Petruchio. GH: The cape was the same... DH: I had to wear his tights. GH: I played the first act, then Dusty came out and played the same character in the second act. It must've been startling for the people. DH: You know what happened on this movie? He's cast before I am. The director is trying to find characters and get the movie together. Then I get cast. Maybe I was one of the last principal roles to get cast. Then the director discovers we knew each other years and years ago and hadn't worked together. He goes back to the writer and says, "We don't really have a scene for them, they're just in the courtroom together." They say they're going to write a scene and the director tells them to take their time and decides to shoot that scene, the "bathroom scene," the last day of the shoot. So Gene finished his work, weeks before. I finished my work weeks before and now we have to sit every day, waiting as the clock ticks by. Cause it's always nice to get your stuff over with. And we show up to do the scene the day before here in New Orleans and the next morning we come to work and we admit to each other we hadn't slept the night before. How fucking nervous we were. At first it was eight pages when it was written and we gotta shoot eight pages and how we weren't gonna get through it. We did the eight pages and we were terrible, both of us. Yet we embraced. Both of us and we said, "We got through it." IT was intimidating. What was so difficult? DH: First of all it's heard to shoot a movie, break for a long time, then come back to shoot one scene, which is, in a sense, one of the biggest scenes each character had. I think about it and in a funny way, Gene and I have been good friends since very early and I think certain things we have in common never change. One of them is part of you feels like you're ever gonna work again. We both have always felt that way. It's a freak accident we became stars. It's a freak accident we've been able to have a career. And there's a part of us that always feels like we're frauds. That's enough to make you nervous. Is there still as much fear here as there was back in acting class? GH: No I still, when I'm getting ready to do a scene, I have an opening night kind of jitters. But I like that. That's part of the reason I'm still in the business. Cause that gets you going. It really...there's something at stake. You're not just showing up and you're not a day player. Not just trying to make a living. The thrill of that...there's nothing like it. Absolutely nothing like it. What was it like working with John Cusack? DH: Make your answer quick so we can get back to talking about working with me (laughs). GH: John's an interesting actor-- DH: --Next question! (laughs) GH: (Laughs) No, he's an interesting actor and quite a good one. I think the movie really relies on his performance. He's really the catalyst in the picture. What kind of tool is an accent for you? I noticed in some scenes it's stronger that it is in others. DH: It's called having an inconsistent accent. But please write it the way you say it (laughs). GH: He did it on purpose... DH: They wouldn't let me in the looping room long enough. [To GH] I know you've been asked this over the years but is there any chance of another FRENCH CONNECTION? GH: No I don't think I would do that. Have they talked to you lately about that? GH: Not lately. But about five years ago there was a project. It didn't work out though. How do you guys feel about gun control after doing this movie? GH: I'm for gun control. There should be some control of how people acquire guns and that sort of thing. Too many guns. Absolutely too many guns. DH: I could talk for an hour on this becasue that was my character. I called up the Brady Center for control against gun violence cause that was the first thing that came into my head. I talked to the guy who ran it then, Dennis Hannigan, for hours. I had to meet with the director, the director liked him, flew him out and we learned a lot about it. Afterwards, I met with this ex-Congressman and my head is just filled with statistics. It's so itneresting cause like Gene feels, and 80% of Americans feel, there needs to be more gun control. But it doesn't happen because the NRA - the National Rifle Association - is the most powerful lobbying organization there is. We're not talking about the right to bear arms, the second amendment. Originally conceived, as I understand it, because we needed a militia. now we have a National Guard. Now anything is available. You can shoot down a plane. you can buy that. It took until 1986 for Congress to pass legislation to no longer allow bullets that were specially made to pierce bulletproof vest and to kill cops. In 1994, you know we have state's rights, we have slaughter of school kids and that state passes legislation. You have one in Stockton, that state passes legislation. In the Clinton administration there was the first time federally there was gun control passed. But the NRA is so powerful, they told their constituents, "Go ahead and pass it but give it only ten years." That ten years is up next September. It's nutty. In other words, Saturday Night Specials, assault type rifles, just that five day check to make sure they don't have a criminal background - that's up. The NRA is trying to repeal that. 80 people die every day in the United States from violence for guns. 10 of them are kids. 30,000 a year. This is statistics I get from the Brady Center. More people died last weekend from gun violence than in the entire Iraq war. There are certain aspects of our society that remain hidden and we just feel "what can we do?" What difference can films or entertainment make? DH: Well it's like cigarettes. THE INSIDER was a good movie against cigarettes and little by little...by increments. Everybody knows somebody and nobody's saying you shouldn't have a gun, but it's all about money. I don't know what effect this will have but I don't think it'll hurt. Have either of you ever served on a jury? GH: No, I never have. I've never been called, actually. DH: He has a shady background. I got called for the first time in my memory, right before I came here. I said I had to publicize the movie and you know...(laughs) Did you have to serve at all? DH: No, from here we have to go to New York. But I don't think we'd ever get accepted. They wouldn't select any known person. How has the business changed since both of you got involved in show business? GH: Well the demographics for a big home run type of film is leaning towards a younger audience than when we started and maybe even more technically oriented films. Special effects, things like that. Gene, what your character does in this movie, is this exaggerated or does this happen in real life? GH: [To DH] Do you know? DH: I don't know. FOX: We actually interviewed real-life jury consultants and they say a lot of that is really happening. But mostly they rely on psychology. Their clinical psychologists, social psychologists...not quite as high-tech as in the movie. Gene did you do any research on these people. GH: No I couldn't. I asked before we started the film if there was anyone I could talk to and Gary [Fleder, the director] had one guy that he had spoken to that I never would've said let's hook up with him. So I just played it like it was a movie. Have either one of you read the book? GH: No I purposely did not read it. The book is about the tobacco industry. And of course they did that in THE INSIDER so we switched it around. What are the films that defined your careers? DH: I thought THE FRENCH CONNECTION, THE SCARECROW, THE CONVERSATION...films like that were my best work (laughs). GH: I liked TOOTSIE and MIDNIGHT COWBOY (laughs)...what else did you do? Can you talk about the shock of becoming successful. GH: I don't think there was ever a moment when I said, "Oh, I'm successful." Did you? Not even with an Oscar? DH: No, not even. There's all that thing that goes around with the Oscar, "Be careful what you wish for." Cause careers sometimes slide downward after an Oscar, whether it's a director or an actor. In this country the thing about success and failure is odd because it becomes the be all and end all. It all has to do with money. You're a failure if you don't make money, you're a success if you make a lot of money. Nobody ever looks at the substance of what you're doing. What if you do a film that's a failure and it's good work. I must say that's what we came from. That doesn't change. That part doesn't change. You try to do good work. It is a food in and of itself. Do younger actors ask you for advice and if so, what do you tell them? GH: An actor never asked me for advice (laughs)! DH: When we started out we wanted to do good work and we were actors. We used to have arguments and we were passionate. Bob Duvall and Gene and myself, each of us had a different acting teacher who taught a different technique and a different approach and we used to argue who was the best. We'd argue who did better work or "did you see that movie?" There was passion about that. I have found that people come up to you lately and say, "How can I make it?" We never even talked in those terms. GH: A lot of young actors come up to you - or people who think they want to be actors - and they'll say, "How do I get started?" I always tell them the same thing. Go to New York and find a good acting teacher. "Yeah but...I really want to go to California and do commercials." Well do that then!

GM has started 19 "shared creative" pilot programs in 10 markets. Like the old dealer marketing groups, each pilot lets dealers for a specific GM brand, like Chevrolet, pool their money with GM funds and buy TV commercial spots.
The pilots run through Dec. 31. Candace Robbins, GM director of dealer marketing, called them "test and learn" pilots. "These pilots will help us decide what happens next," she said. Ms. Robbins would only identify two of the pilot markets: Phoenix and Houston.
In early 1999, GM's five regional sales operations took control of about $500 million in local ad spending when the company eliminated 954 dealer-run marketing groups. Since then, dealers have complained that GM's local TV spots have been insufficient in many cities and poorly executed. Dealers say that in many cases, they don't know about the commercials until they run.
Ms. Robbins admits there has been a lack of communication between GM and dealers. She hopes the pilots give both sides a larger, coordinated marketing voice.
Although dealers are encouraged by the pilots, Ed Levy, co-owner of Golling Pontiac-GMC in Lake Orion, Mich., and a member of GM's national dealer council, said his first reaction to the pilots "was to chuckle a little bit."
"Isn't [this] what we just stopped doing two years ago?" he asked, referring to the dealer marketing groups.
Under the old system, GM typically took 1% of the invoice of each vehicle sold in a local market to fund local advertising by the dealer marketing groups and individual dealers. The groups' responsibilities included creating and placing newspaper ads and TV and radio spots.
GM and some dealers say the old system worked in some areas, but in other markets it was too disconnected with GM's national advertising. By axing the old system and consolidating the marketing groups' functions, GM believed it could also bring down costs using GM's buying power and could send more consistent brand messages.
Under the old system, "we didn't quite get the value of our dollar," said George DeMontrond, a Houston-based GM dealer and president of DeMontrond Automotive Group. DeMontrond's dealerships are participating in Oldsmobile and Buick pilots.
When it eliminated the marketing groups, GM created a co-op program where dealers can earmark up to 1% of a vehicle's invoice for marketing and GM matches 25% of that. However, that money can only be used for an individual dealership's marketing and advertising, and is rarely enough to buy TV spots.
Under the new pilots, dealers can volunteer up to another 1% of a vehicle's invoice to the local marketing fund. Here again, GM is matching 25% of dealer contributions.
But unlike the co-op, the pilots pool the funds, which can be used by the groups to buy TV spots. Future programs could be expanded to include newspaper ads and radio spots, Ms. Robbins said.
GM requires that all spot TV buys be done by McCann-Erickson Worldwide's Local Communications, Warren, Mich., which already handles local buying for the automaker.
Although dealers have input into the commercials and final say on when and where the commercials are placed, GM and its national ad agencies still produce the commercials and negotiate airtime, she said.
Ms. Robbins said the pilots restore the best aspect of the old dealer marketing groups: monthly marketing meetings between local dealers and GM's field staff.

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) - Les Miles says star cornerback Tyrann Mathieu, leading rusher Spencer Ware and defensive back Tharold Simon have returned to practice. The three were suspended for unbeaten LSU's 45-10 victory overc Auburn for violating the team's drug policy, but Miles says they practiced on Tuesday and are expected to play for the No. 1 Tigers' when they visit second-ranked Alabama on Nov. 5.
Mathieu has been one of the stars of the first half of the college football season. He has forced four fumbles, recovering three and returning two for scores. He also has two interceptions and 42 tackles, including 1 1/2 sacks. Ware is the leading rusher for the Tigers with 512 yards and six touchdowns. Simon has one interception and 29 tackles.

Composite made of multiwalled carbon nanotubes coated with silver was fabricated by an electroless deposition process. The thickness of silver layer is about 40 to 60 nm, characterized as nano-crystalline with (111) crystal orientation along the nanotube's axial direction. The characterization of silver/carbon nanotube [Ag/CNT] nanowire has shown the large current carrying capability, and the electric conductivity is similar to the pure silver nanowires that Ag/CNT would be promising as building blocks for integrated circuits.

One-dimensional nanostructured metals play important roles as interconnects and nanoscale electronic devices. Silver nanowire is especially attractive due to its extremely high electric and thermal conductivities [1]. Template-directed synthesis and the solution-phase based approach have been widely used to produce Ag nanowires [2–4]. However, pure silver nanowires are limited for metallic interconnection applications as its resistivity increase largely with the dimension decreasing due to its increased electron scattering. On the other hand, carbon nanotubes [CNTs] are known for having long mean free path (order of several microns), extremely high current densities (> 109 A/cm2 at 25°C), and high aspect ratio. The bulk composites made of metal matrix with CNTs as the reinforcement component for augmenting the metal conductivity have been extensively investigated [5–7]. However, how to fabricate and to characterize a single one-dimensional nano-composite with embedding a single CNT within the silver matrix are difficult [8, 9], and electroless silver plating process has been used to deposit silver onto multiwalled carbon nanotube [MWCNT] [10]. In this paper, one-dimensional Ag/MWCNT nano-composite was prepared by coating the MWCNT with relatively uniform nano-crystalline silver layer using the electroless silver plating process. The electrical properties of one-dimensional Ag/MWCNT nano-composite were investigated using two terminal conductance measurements to demonstrate the resistivity and the current carrying capacity.
Results and discussion
Transmission electron microscopy observation shows that the one-dimensional Ag/MWCNT nano-composite has a relatively uniform silver coverage as shown in Figure 1a. The diameter is about 160 nm, with a deviation of about 20 nm, and the length is about 3.2 μm. The inset of Figure 1c is the selected area electron diffraction [SAED] pattern obtained from a massive bundle of one-dimensional Ag/silver nano-composites. Several continued rings and some diffraction spots that were observed in the SAED pattern indicate that the Ag/MWCNT nano-composites have a polycrystalline structure.
The distances of the lattice planes are measured using a high-resolution transmission electron microscopy [HRTEM] and shown in Figure 1d. Interplanar distance of the (111) planes which is 0.234 nm indicates that the nano-crystal silver coating possesses a face-centered cubic [FCC] structure, which are consistent with the standard lattice constant of the Ag crystal structure [14]. Lattice fringes with spacing of 0.2046 nm which are also observed corresponds to the (200) planes in FCC crystalline silver. It can be seen that the silver coating layer is nano-crystallized without any amorphous structure [15].
Figure 3 (right) displays the typical linear I-V curves measured on the single, one-dimensional nanocrystalline Ag/MWCNT nano-composite wire at room temperature. More than five measurements were carried out on the sample. The resistance was calculated (based on the applied voltages and the resultant currents). The average resistance of the Ag/MWCNT is at about 75.7 Ω, and the variation among different measurements is less than 2%. Therefore, the resistivity of the one-dimensional Ag/MWCNT nano-composite is approximately 3.0 × 10-6 Ωm. It is reasonable that the resistivity of the nanocrystalline Ag/MWCNT nano-composite is higher than the bulk silver (1.5 × 10-8 Ωm) because the surface scattering of electron increases largely when the diameter is as smaller as the mean free path of the silver [16]. Since the I-V curve is a straight line, therefore, no oxidation effects can be identified. This also agrees with the composition analysis in which no oxygen was detected. It was indicated that the resistivity of a DNA-templated silver nanowire measured by SH Park et al. was about 4 × 10-6 Ωm [17]. It can be deduced that the one-dimensional Ag/MWCNT nano-composites have better conductivity than the DNA-coated silver nanowire. However, the resistivity of Ag/MWCNT nanowire is greater than that of a pure single crystal silver nanowire which has the resistivity of about 1.87 × 10-6 Ωm [15]. The increased resistivity of Ag/MWCNT could be due to the multigrained structure as well as the contact resistance as well. Based on the free electron theory, the electric conductivity of metallic conductors can be described as [5, 18]: through the free electron gas theory [5], where n is the electron density of state, is the mean free path, me is the mass of electron and VF is the Fermi velocity. The electrical conductivity is proportional to the mean free path, i.e., the longer the mean free path, the higher the conductivity will be. The silver coating on the sidewalls of MWCNTs forms composite couplings to electronic states through the charge transfer interaction from the silver ions to MWCNTs [19]. The metallic MWCNTs can be ballistic conductors and have a mean free path of 0.5 μm equaling with the length of the tube [2]. The embedding MWCNT in a silver matrix facilitates electron transfer along with the ballistic transport from end to end, thereby prolonging the electron's mean free path of nano-composite ten times of the silver [20]. The low resistivity of one-dimensional Ag/MWCNT nano-composite silver nanowire can attribute to the longer mean free path of MWCNT. The current density t was calculated to be about 6.56 × 107 A/cm2 at the voltage of 100 mV through the t = I/S, where S is the cross sectional area and I is the current. The current can be kept stable during the 20 min measurement under the constant voltage of 100 mV. Since electromigration occurring in Ag interconnects at the current density of 106 to 107A/cm2 [21], and the metallic MWCNT can stand electric current density (along axis) more than 1,000 times greater than that of silver; therefore, it is clear that integration of MWCNTs in nano-composites would be good to counter electromigration.
As a summary, MWCNTs coated with about 40 to 60 nm of relatively uniform and continuous nano-crystalline silver layer were fabricated using an electroless silver plating process. The two-terminal I-V electrical measurements conducted have demonstrated that the one-dimensional nano-crystalline Ag/MWCNT nano-composite has low resistivity and high current carrying capacity at room temperature. The electrical conductivity of MWCNTs has been enhanced by depositing pure crystal silver on their surface, and the maximum current carrying capacity of silver have been enhanced by embedding with MWCNT. Therefore, the one-dimensional nano-crystalline Ag/MWCNT nano-composite wires are promising to be used as interconnects in the area of nanoelectronic device.

Politico tests readers' willingness to pay for journalism
Can frees join the paid? Politico likes to thinks so.
The US free website/newspaper will start testing metered pay-models for at least six months in the six states and internationally.
Readers will be required to pay for content after consuming a set number of pages on the website. Politico will test different price points and page limits to find the sweet spot for our readership. (…) We believe that every successful media company will ultimately charge for its content.
Politico operates a website with high value political content since 2007. In 2009 it launched a free daily – circulation around 35,000 – that was distributed on Capital Hill and environment on days when Congress was in session. The newspaper provided the company with revenues because the website was lossing money.
Politico already operates a paid PRO version with alerts and exclusive content. The new version is another sign on media companies shifting towards a paid content model.
With more than 300 media companies now charging for online content in the U.S., the notion of paying to read expensive-to-produce journalism is no longer that exotic for sophisticated consumers. This is a very promising, if uncertain, trend in our country. The collective decision by media companies to give away for free a product of high value and high cost will go down as one of the worst, self-defeating moves in the history of industry.
Apart from paid content, Politico also started with an experiment with sponsored content (right).
The content appears on the frontpage, just like any other content, with the same font and design, and with a byline, but with a separate heading that says Sponsor-generated content:
The treatment strikes a fine balance between protecting readers and promoting products.

Dead grim reminder to buckle up
Of the 80 people killed this year on area roads, 24 weren't belted in.
By April KEMICK, Sun Media, Thurs., July 5, 2007
Why aren't motorists buckling up?
That's the question nagging local police after an alarming 24th seatbelt-related death this year on area roads.
Timothy McCLUNG of Camlachie, who died Saturday after being thrown from his vehicle in Sarnia, was the latest victim in a string of deaths that police say may have been prevented by seatbelt use.
Out of 80 people killed on area roads this year, 24 were not wearing seatbelts, said Sgt. Dave Rektor of the Ontario Provincial Police's Western Region.
"Not wearing a seatbelt and being involved in a crash is the equivalent of jumping off a three-storey building," Rektor said.
"Why people still aren't wearing seatbelts is the million-dollar question."
It's been more than 30 years since wearing a seatbelt became law in Ontario, and, despite consistent public awareness campaigns and police blitzes, some drivers still refuse to buckle up, Rektor said.
A 2005-2006 survey by Transport Canada shows that somewhere between nine and 10 per cent of motorists don't use seatbelts.
In Ontario, not wearing a seatbelt carries a $110 fine and will get you two demerit points on your licence, he said.
"In terms of enforcement and education, we're just as vigilant as we ever were," Rektor said. "And yet, there's still… people that refuse to wear seatbelts."
A shocking 30 per cent of the 80 deaths on area roads this year were linked to people not wearing seatbelts, he said.
"That's 24 people that could have been alive," Rektor said. "It's very frustrating."
Paul BOASE, chief, road users, with Transport Canada, said while there's been big gains in the numbers of people wearing seatbelts since it became law, some people still resist buckling up.
Some possible explanations:
- Young people, particularly young males, who don't wear seatbelts might be under the impression they're "invincible" and don't need to buckle up.
- Impaired drivers are more likely not to buckle up than people who are not impaired
- Some drivers -- including a higher percentage of those in rural areas and people making short trips just around the corner -- are more likely to believe the chances of crashing and getting hurt are low
- Some drivers wrongly believe their air bags will be enough to save them in a crash
- People sitting in the backseat can have a false sense of safety because of their position in the back of the car
- Some drivers simply resist being told what to do by the state
But regardless of the reason behind not wearing a seatbelt, the hard fact is that your chances of dying in a crash are higher if you don't buckle up, he said.
"You're much more likely to survive if you have your belt on."
The National Occupant Restraint Program, a joint effort by federal, provincial and territorial governments, aims to bring seatbelt use across the nation to 95 per cent by 2010.
More police enforcement, tougher laws and public awareness campaigns targeting those who don't buckle up are needed to make that goal, said Shannon Ell, chairperson of National Occupant Restraint Program.

Smooth defenceman got high by winning
Denied National Hockey League stardom, he won Olympic silver and studied on the side
By Tom HAWTHORN, Special to The Globe and Mail, Page S9
Darryl SLY never won a Stanley Cup and never held a permanent job in the National Hockey League. His career statistics were uninspiring - 79 games played, one goal, two assists.
A versatile player known as Slippery Sly for his smooth skating, he played professionally for 22 seasons and worked behind the bench as a coach for several more. Over those years, he wore sweaters for towns that no longer exist (Galt, Ontario, now Cambridge) and for teams long defunct (the original Iowa Stars).
Mr. SLY was a valuable asset on any hockey roster. As an amateur, he skated for Canada at the 1960 Winter Olympics (winning a silver medal), and he represented his country at the 1961 world championships (winning gold). As a professional, he helped a powerhouse Rochester Americans squad win three consecutive Calder Cup titles in the mid-1960s.
Originally a forward with a good touch around the net, he was converted into a defenceman whose tenacious play made him a favourite of goaltenders.
With Rochester, he was paired on the ice and in road hotel rooms with a pugnacious defenceman of equal heart but lesser skill: "Darryl SLY carried me for six years, his skating was that good," said Don Cherry, who went on to greater success as a hockey commentator. "Whenever the puck was dumped into our end, I'd say, 'Go get it, Darryl.' "
But success eluded Mr. SLY in hockey's premier league. He played only two games in the pre-expansion National Hockey League and, after the league doubled in teams, he dressed for only 77 games with Toronto, Minnesota and Vancouver.
Darryl Hayward SLY learned his hockey in his hometown, a popular Ontario resort on Georgian Bay. He led the Collingwood Cubs to the Ontario juvenile-A title shortly before his 17th birthday. It would be the first championship of many.
He spent the following three seasons in Toronto at Saint Michael's College School, the Catholic institution that graduated more hockey players than priests. His teammates included Dave Keon and Frank Mahovlich. Coached by Rev. David Bauer, the boys were tutored to combine academic achievement with athletic endeavour. Mr. SLY attended teachers college in his final season with the St. Mike's Majors, during which he served as team captain. St. Mike's lost to Peterborough in the junior-A finals.
The National Hockey League's Toronto Maple Leafs offered Mr. SLY a $3,500 salary with a $1,500 signing bonus, an attractive sum on its own, all the more so for a graduating student contemplating a career as a teacher. Instead, he accepted Father Bauer's advice to remain an amateur, playing for the Kitchener-Waterloo (Ont.) Dutchmen, a senior team.
The Dutchies were coached by Bill Durnan, the former Montreal Canadiens goaltender, but he quit after a losing streak. Bobby Bauer, an National Hockey League star and the brother of Father Bauer, was reluctantly pressed into service.
The Dutchmen were chosen to represent Canada at the Olympics after the Allan Cup-winning Whitby (Ont.) Dunlops declined. The Dunlops bolstered the Dutchies' lineup by contributing a forward line and defenceman Harry Sinden, who would be named captain of the Olympic squad.
The team travelled by bus for two weeks, playing exhibitions across Western Canada before arriving at Squaw Valley, California.
His lone goal in the Olympic tournament came when he opened the scoring against Czechoslovakia, a tally that would be the game-winner as Canada posted a 4-0 victory. He also earned an assist.
The team's hopes for a gold medal diminished when the U.S. team, cheered on by 8,000 partisans, scored a 2-1 upset. The decisive goal was scored by Paul Johnson, who was being covered on the play by Mr. SLY.
The Americans went on to strike gold and the Canadians had to make do with silver.
Mr. SLY played for the Galt Terriers the following season, a team formed from the remnants of the Dutchmen. The team nearly folded at Christmas, struggling in last place. Midway through the season, Mr. SLY was invited to temporarily join the Trail (B.C.) Smoke Eaters. The club had been chosen to represent Canada at the world championships in Switzerland.
Granted a three-month leave from his job as a teacher in Elmira, Ontario, Mr. SLY began an odyssey that saw him travel to British Columbia for a few games before flying back through Toronto on his way to Europe.
The Smoke Eaters went undefeated in the tournament at Geneva, the only blemish a 1-1 tie with the Czechs. The Canadians clinched the championship with a 5-1 victory over the Soviets. Afterward, a reporter found an exhausted Mr. SLY slumped on a bench in the dressing room. He said he was "bushed, but I am about the happiest guy in the world."
After his 10-week hiatus with the Trail team, the world-beating defenceman returned to the Galt blueline. His return was a happy one - he had four goals and six assists in 12 Allan Cup playoff games, helping his team claim the national senior title. An ecstatic home crowd prevented the victors from reaching their dressing room for 20 minutes after the game. The championship came just six weeks after his return from overseas.
Mr. SLY then turned professional with the Rochester Americans, an American Hockey League team that was home for seven seasons. Although playing in a minor league, the Amerks, as they were known, were widely regarded as being strong enough to compete in the six-team National Hockey League.
Rochester won three consecutive Calder Cups as league champs with a roster packed with high-calibre talent, from National Hockey League players winding up their careers to young stars with promising futures. The team also produced future National Hockey League coaches in Mr. Cherry and fellow defenceman Al Arbour.
A Maple Leafs' call-up in December of 1965 lasted just two games, with Mr. SLY assigned penalty-killing duties. It was not an auspicious debut.
Despite his many road trips, Mr. SLY completed English studies at Saint_John Fisher College in Rochester in 1966. Newspapers carried stories on his achievement, so rare was an educated skater. "Darryl Sly," The Globe and Mail noted, "is one hockey player who is improving by degrees."
The doubling of the National Hockey League before the 1967-68 season gave Mr. SLY hope he would be drafted by one of the six new American teams. Instead, he was passed over.
"My chances of making the National Hockey League would have been a lot better. My pay, too," he said while at Toronto's training camp, which, as usual, boasted a surfeit of quality defencemen. He saw limited action in 17 games with the Leafs that season, recording no points.
His rights were transferred to the Vancouver Canucks of the Western Hockey League after the club purchased the Syracuse franchise.
He took on the role of assistant coach even as he maintained a regular spot on the ice. The Canucks won eight consecutive playoff games to claim the Lester Patrick Cup as league champion.
The National Hockey League's Minnesota North Stars spent $30,000 to pluck Mr. SLY from the Canucks in the 1969 inter-league draft. He scored his lone National Hockey League goal while wearing Minnesota's sweater for 29 games.
He returned to Vancouver the following season, as the new Canucks National Hockey League franchise grabbed him in the expansion draft. He was Vancouver's sixth pick and third defenceman, after Gary Doak and Pat Quinn.
By 1971, he was again playing senior hockey in Ontario as the playing coach of the Barrie Flyers. He led them to four Allan Cup finals in five seasons - losing to Spokane in 1972 and 1976, and to Thunder Bay, Ontario, in 1975. The Flyers took the senior championship by knocking off the Cranbrook (B.C.) Royals in 1974.
In 1973, his old team, the Rochester Americans, asked him to return for a single game to fill a hole on defence. Mr. SLY responded by playing perhaps the greatest game of his career, scoring a goal and adding two assists in a 3-3 tie.
After hanging up his skates at 39, Mr. SLY took up the coaching reins of the amateur Collingwood Shipbuilders, winning an intermediate-A title in 1983 and a senior-A title in 1987.
Mr. SLY was prominent in his hometown as a real-estate developer and owner of the Blue Mountain Chrysler automobile dealership. He was inducted into the Collingwood Sports Hall of Fame in 1980 and was an inaugural member of the Amerks Hall of Fame in 1986.
Mr. SLY once told The Globe's Nora McCabe that he enjoyed coaching unpaid players who, like him, simply loved hockey. "Some guys drink and some guys take dope to get high," he said. "Amateur hockey players get high by winning."
Darryl SLY was born April 3, 1939, in Collingwood, Ontario He died of cancer August 28, 2007, in Collingwood. He was 68. He leaves his wife, Sylvia (McCLURE,) a daughter, two sons, five grandchildren and two brothers. He was predeceased by two brothers.

Photography has potential to be a wonderful art that can reduce any stress buster and enjoyable hobby. Pictures capture more than words can't.
Choose what to focus on and what elements to include in your composition. High quality pictures will highlight a particular feature of the subject in your photo. Don't try to put everything into a single frame. If you are trying to capture an impression, take a couple of photographs instead of just one singe picture that has no detail or focus.
Keep your technique for taking pictures as simple and easy. You can usually take great picture without changing your color or motion settings.
Try to create an impression of depth in your landscape photos. Add scale into your photos by including an object or person in the picture foreground. Set your cameras aperture opening to a small setting, such as f/8 for most cameras or f/16 for full-frame and panoramic cameras. This will not only increase sharpness in the foreground, but in the background as well.
One effective way to improve your photography skills is to draw inspiration from other photographers and their work for inspiration. When you spend time looking at other photographers' work, you will be reminded of the limitless potential for your pictures.
While holding onto the camera, your arms should be closely beside the body. Hands should be beside and under the camera. The movement of the photographer will be captured in the pictures. Make sure that you're gripping the camera from underneath. What this does is steadies the camera better and also works to prevent any accidental drop.
This tip you improve your photos! Learn as much as you can about the speeds your shutter speeds. There are P, P, A, and S settings on your camera. The P is an initial for the camera represents program mode. This setting is fully automated and will set both the shutter speed and aperture already set. If you are not sure what you will shoot, use P.
Get into the habit of adjusting the white balance on your camera. If you leave the white balance unchanged, photos taken inside can take on a yellow hue because of the artificial light. By changing the white balance feature on your camera this will be reduced and you will notice a whole different quality to your photographs. This slight change in quality will make your photographs have a much more professional look about them.
Start shooting pictures right when you begin your trip. You can find many ways to take photos on location, but use the trip to get some unique shots. Document each phase of your vacation — the airport is always good for some interesting things at an airport.
Try to adjust your camera so that the background has a bit of a blur to it when people are the subjects of your photos. If your background is focused it might take some focus off of your subject. You can do this by making the background farther away than your subject.
Take shots of interesting people you see in your day. Always ask their permission. When you travel, seeing these photographs will cause you to remember particular memories, even if the people you photographed do not look like they would stand out from a crowd at the moment when you take your picture. Try to get a candid facial expression.
Read the camera's manual, please. The manual is often a big, thick bulky brick. They are often banished to the bottom drawer or tossed entirely. Instead of throwing them out, use time to read its contents. Reading the manual will make you a better picture taker and help you avoid making silly mistakes.
Taking Pictures
Every time you change something, be it the background or subject, you should take multiple shots just for practice. Each photograph situation varies, but practicing can help you get a feel for your environment. Changes in lighting will give you a chance to experiment with a variety of natural and artificial light.
Although not everyone is gifted when it comes to taking pictures, all people have the ability to appreciate them. You can be sure you won't miss a thing by taking pictures. Photography is an international hobby in which tens of millions are involved. As mentioned earlier displaying your pictures for the world to see is an excellent way to relive some stress.
Try taking photos at different angles to make them more creative. Anyone can take a photo of a scene head-on. Look down at things from high up, or get down on the ground, and look up at them. Try composing a shot on the diagonal or from the side to make it more interesting.

Memorandum by the Northern Ireland Office
1. The Committee considered the above instrument
at its meeting on 21 November and has instructed the NIO to submit
a memorandum on the following points:
2. This should refer to regulation 23 and not regulation
21 and amendment will be made.
3. The reference to 6 November 1999 is accurate,
it provides for a transitional period.
4. We accept that these regulations are not provided
for in the Act and they will be removed.
5. Regulations 11(1), 11(2) and 12(2) are made under
Section 64(h).
6. These two regulations will be removed.
7. "and it relates to a complaint" is not
necessary as the opening sentence of regulation 23 refers to a
complaint and will be amended.
8. Section 64(2)(iii) of the Act. This provides for
circumstances where a complainant fails to respond to a request
to indicate whether he wishes further steps to be taken.
9. The reference to "them" should be "him"
and "they" should be "he" and will be changed.
This would apply where a complainant fails to assist the investigation,
however, the regulation will need to be amended to provide that
this only applies in these circumstances. The reason why we have
provided for the Ombudsman to write is in case the failure to
assist is due to concerns in the manner in which the police are
investigating the complaint.
10. This regulation should read: Where the Chief
Constable is of the opinion that the complaint is a repetitious
complaint and the previous complaint has been withdrawn in accordance
with regulation 16 of the Royal Ulster Constabulary (Complaints,
etc) 1988, or regulation 23 of these regulations, a copy of the
11. This should be a reference to paragraph 3(2)
of the schedule and will be amended.
12. The preamble will be amended.
13. No definition of "appropriate rank"
appears in the regulation however this is clarified in guidance
and the Conduct Guidance make provision for the appointment of
investigating officers of certain ranks. However, when dealing
with complaints which appear to have serious implications, whether
by reason of the allegations or the number and standing of the
officers involved, the Chief Constable should always consider
whether the investigation warrants the appointment of an investigating
officer of the rank of superintendent or above.
14. Regulation 30(2) will be removed.

teething biscuits
At what age can you give your DC one of those teething biscuits? I forget the names of them, I just remember they were yummy :giggle: My DD keeps grabbing for my cookie that I'm eating, smacking me lips for it :laugh: Then she tried to grab one for herself :laugh:
Re: teething biscuits
Ohh, those are yummy. I think you can give them those whenever they seem able - but starting around or after the time one would start solids - so 4 months or older, I think. They make the biggest mess, I remember that. I think I liked them better than my son did, LOL.
I came back to add something, LOL: if I remember right the boxes say to wait until they can crawl with their tummy off the ground? Some of them say that - and that they should be able to sit up. According to them it would be way later, but I think my ds started them after 6 months just because I never gave him anything but breastmilk or formula up until then. :) That's what I remember anyway, LOL.
Re: teething biscuits
That's what I thought..they are so yummy! :giggle: I need a box now! :giggle:
Re: teething biscuits
i just checked the box we have here. We have the gerber buiscuits it actually says appropriate for babies 10 months and up. when baby is crawling on hands and knees with tummy off floor, eats thicker and lumpier foods, uses jaw to mash foods with gums, holds small foods between finger and thumb. i believe audrianna started them at 7 months hth.
