Gangs in fremont area
Posted in the Fremont Forum
#1 Aug 31, 2007
more and more gangs are coming to the area. Mexican, Latinos, Blacks, Middle Easterns, Asians and Islanders.
Nortenos - Cabrillo, Niles, and Irvington Area
Surenos - Central, and Centerville area
Crips - Fremont hub, south Fremont area
#2 Sep 2, 2007
how can you confirm this?
United States
#3 Sep 4, 2007
i always see those crips in the fremont hub area
United States
#4 Sep 4, 2007
Usually the asian crips in the hub area and in north fremont, and the nortenos many in irvington area
#5 Sep 5, 2007
oh yeah,Fremont is such a Ghetto, such a hard place to growup. The mean Streets of Fremont! they all need to be rounded up like the Pigs they are and hauled up to 32nd and Foothill blvd in Oakland so they can play "Gangbanger" there!
People are soooo stupid!
#6 Sep 5, 2007
i'm lucky, i grew up in fremont before gangs.there were 23,000 people in 100 square miles. i am back in a small town,
Since: Sep 07

Joyce - thank God for another old-timer! We remember what kind of place Fremont used to be, don't we? For me, that makes the slow decline over the years particularly painful to watch. It sounds like you're not still a Fremont resident - is that correct? I'm still here, primarily due to the parent-child transfer that keeps my property tax low, witnessing the slow circling of the drain by the town that I used to love, now sort of tolerate. What do you think, Joyce - is it too late for Fremont to pull a Rocky and come back for the title?
As for the gang issue, isn't it sad that you can't even make eye contact with, much less talk to, your neighbor's adolescent kids anymore because they're so obviously affiliated with some group or other and you're afraid that, if you say the wrong thing or betray the slightest weakness, you'll be subject to some kind of retribution? In old Fremont, the parents ran the neighborhood, not the kids.
#8 Sep 7, 2007
Yeah,,except that Fremont is in Nebraska.
#9 Sep 7, 2007
I disagree, the old Fremont was a big mess and tho it hasn't gotten that much better, but it has taken positive baby steps.(i remember the gangs that roamed from Irvington to Decoto in the 70s and turned Fremont Blvd into a dangerous place every weekend night),,you see,,its all in your perspective. Take a look at criome per capita in Fremont over the years, its comparably lower now.
And dont be afraid to talk to the kids, the kids are alright! Its not that difficult, all you have to do is say hello!
Since: Sep 07
#10 Sep 7, 2007
Ah, but you see, to you the 70's are the old days. It really is all a question of perspective, isn't it? Of course, the real crime that is happening in Fremont is the effect that the coarsening of our society is having on the children who are forced to grow up in this environment. It's no wonder that private and home schooling is so popular now. "BTW", I've tried saying hello to the kids - the reply I got would be bleeped on Howard Stern!
#11 Sep 7, 2007
So try again and dont be shy about it. The kids are alright, every new generation face this prejudice from bitter elders. You can overcome your fears, you might even make some new friends!
And Private schools like Moreau are losing students, home schooling has never taken off except in rural areas, so you may want to check your sources.
The 70s arent neccesarily the old days, I have ancestors here going back thousands of years, so if you really want to go into it, we can.
That said, society is much less coarse than say the 1950s, when we were still recovering from ww2 and and racism and sexism were the norm.
And todays murder rates are a fraction of what it was in the 1800s, yah know,,the old days!
#12 Sep 20, 2007
I grew up in Fremont, but haven't been there in over 25 years. I lived just down from The Hub...and never once did I nor my parents worry about me walking up there alone.(I remember going up to Fry's with a note from my mom for them to sell me cigarettes for her....my how THAT has changed!!).
Anyway, last time I visited, I drove down the street I grew up on, and I was afraid. I guess that's "goodbye childhood" for sure.
I still wonder what happened to a few of my neighbors! I remember on Sacramento Avenue, the Dunlaps, the Mendozas, the Balsamos, The Norris's of course!!!...The Nunnaly brothers, and the old drunk guy next door (never did learn his name, he was "beer-belly" to us)...and the Meyers who lived next door. I don't know what happened to Steven....he delighted in showing us his dead dog...I still expect to see him show up on "America's Most Wanted" someday.
I'm sure there are decent areas of Fremont, just as there are in any town. I'm glad I can remember the good times....and now I only have to deal with all the crime, etc in my town, and still think of Fremont as a great place to grow up!(It really was!!).
I went to Mowry, my older brothers and sister went to Walters and JFK...so if any of you remember this good stuff, send a "HI"!!

i moved to fremont from san jose two years ago and i hear people alway talking about gang here but i never seen them. well maybe one little scrap riding his bike but that was when i first moved in. i do see teens walking up a down the street to go to the conner store. they do sport red but they have never been rude even when my kids 4yr and 2yr are outside my kids "alway say hi" they just say hi and keep walking. i dont feel unsafe maybe to somepeople they might look like a "gang" but i just see kids hmm... maybe because i grew up around alot of gangs and i was just one of the lucky ones that didnt get involved so now that im grown i pay any attention to it its all about family and education
#14 Sep 26, 2007
I just want to say that Fremont is not as bad as what people think. I gre up all over the bay area and I would have to say that Richmond was the worst. If you dont want to deal with gangs then I strongly believe you should move out of the bayarea. They are all over. Not that I am all for gangs but Ive learned to except it if I want to live in the bayarea. Hense the reason we are currently looking into buying a home in the valley so our son can grow up worrying about his next baseball game not about whos going to walk up on him the next day because he decided to wear red or blue.
*Grow up already and stop being such drama kings and queens since thats really all you people are. I can bet money you dont even know why you are called Nortenos and wher eit stems from. And if you did you would appreciate the name instead of throwing it around like its the thing to do!
#15 Sep 26, 2007
goin to shi*.Fremont has become much more violent since section 8 housing became abundant.
#16 Sep 26, 2007
Fremont, Newark, Union City has had gangs for years. I had been raised in the East Bay for and have lived my entire life in the Bay Area for over 45 years. There are gangs everywhere in the bay area and the Tri-Cities neighborhood is no different.
My perspecive is that I choose to be aware of my surroundings, be street-smart and try to ensure the safety of my family where ever we may go. There are many wonderful places in the bay area to live and Fremont is one of them. There are also many neighborhoods that I won't even venture into (East Oakland, Richmond, etc), but there isn't anywhere in Fremont that has that same scenario. There are worse places to live.
#17 Sep 27, 2007
if you want to talk about crips, there isn't any real crips in fremont. half these kids that claim that they are, aren't shit. i used to be a probation officer at Camp Kilpatrick before i moved here to the Bay Area, and these kids at the camp are the real deal comparing to these youngsters here in fremont/ union city/ newark/ hayward.
#18 Sep 29, 2007
does any body no if fremont has a web site that shows a map of where kiliings took place? i no san jose, oakland, and s.f have one.
#19 Oct 2, 2007
Check the Fremont Police website. Though considering there have been less than a handful of murders, I doubt there is a need to map it out. Per capita, Fremont's murder rate is a fraction of her three big sister bay area cities. And even less when compared to Richmond or EPA.
Fremont is a comparatively very safe town. But there is always more than a few Chicken Littles yapping away.

I lived in Fremont for over 40 years. With increased "gangs" and crime, its no longer a safe community. I moved out 7 years ago and never looked back.

NHL Realigment: What the New NHL May Look Like in 2012-2013August 3, 2011
With the Atlanta Thrashers moving to Winnipeg to become the Jets this coming season and the Phoenix Coyotes likely to move to Quebec a year from now, a drastic realignment of the NHL's divisions and conferences is just around the corner.
Many ideas have been thrown around, some simple, some complicated. But the one thing they have in common is that they all change the landscape of the NHL completely. With one team moving west and one team probably moving east, a radical change seems inevitable.
Here's my idea for realignment:
The relocation of several NHL teams will be good for the league, as the old system of six divisions is getting stale. What might freshen things up a bit is to reduce the size of each division but hold them within the conferences. This would increase rivalries but keep the idea of Eastern Conference vs. Western Conference. Let's start by looking at what the two will look like.
With the rejection of the arena referendum, the New York Islanders organization might be doomed, but for the purpose of this article, we'll keep them intact. We will, however, move the Phoenix Coyotes to Quebec.
Western Conference
Anaheim Ducks
Calgary Flames
Chicago Blackhawks
Colorado Avalanche
Columbus Blue Jackets
Dallas Stars
Edmonton Oilers
Los Angeles Kings
Minnesota Wild
Nashville Predators
San Jose Sharks
St Louis Blues
Toronto Maple Leafs*
Vancouver Canucks
Winnipeg Jets
Eastern Conference:
Boston Bruins
Buffalo Sabres
Carolina Hurricanes
Detroit Red Wings*
Florida Panthers
Montreal Canadiens
New Jersey Devils
New York Islanders
New Jersey Devils
Ottawa Senators
Quebec (X)
Philadelphia Flyers
Pittsburgh Penguins
Tampa Bay Lightning
Washington Capitals
* The Detroit Red Wings have wanted to move east for a long time now. Geographically similar, the Toronto Maple Leafs are in a downward spiral and would welcome a change.
Now, to the divisions: 30 teams in a league, 15 teams per conference, 3 teams per division.
This would make 5 divisions in each conference. Each of the top teams, ranked by points totals, in each conference make the playoffs. Those top 10 teams automatically take the bottom 10 spots in the draft.
The bottom team in each division misses the playoffs, and those 10 teams automatically take the top 10 spots at the draft. The remaining 10 teams are then ranked in points, and the top three from each conference make the playoffs. Simple.
Western Conference
Northwest Division: Calgary Flames - Edmonton Oilers - Vancouver Canucks
Northern Division: Minnesota Wild - Toronto Maple Leafs - Winnipeg Jets
Central Division: Chicago Blackhawks - Columbus Blue Jackets - Nashville Predators
Midwest Division: Colorado Avalanche - Dallas Stars - St Louis Blues
California Division: Anaheim Ducks - Los Angeles Kings - San Jose Sharks
Eastern Conference
Northeast Division: Montreal Canadiens - Ottawa Senators - Quebec (X)
Lake Erie Division: Buffalo Sabres - Detroit Red Wings - Pittsburgh Penguins
New York Division: New Jersey Devils - New York Islanders - New York Rangers
Eastern Division: Boston Bruins - Philadelphia Flyers - Washington Capitals
Southeast Division: Carolina Hurricanes - Florida Panthers - Tampa Bay Lightning
You would play each of your divisional rivals eight times (16), each of the other conference teams four times (48) and play 18 inter-conference games (18). 82 games total.

The files used for conversion are defined in the variable '$jpfile' and '$mozfile' and can be, of course modified by the user.
The main (and quite easy loop) of the program: take each line of the jpfile in an array, transform it for Mozilla using the function 'jp2moz' and write it to the Mozilla csv file.
The function 'jp2moz' is the main and unique function of the program. Input parameter is an array reference. Output parameter is as well an array reference.
The idea is: $mozcols = jp2moz($jpcols);
As many of the decisions taken in the function are discutable, the user should feel free to modify it as he likes it. I tried to mark the most interesting parts to modify with 3 arobases (@@@).

Instructor Earl Jeffrey monitors dive student Chavonne Guthrie in a pre-dive safety check for an Open Water Dive.

Story last updated at 4/3/2013 - 3:25 pm
Classes begin with an exchange of greetings and a brief discussion of topics important to the students: basketball, favorite videos, future plans, hunting practices, perhaps an update on recent fish caught. Students in the small community of Hydaburg on Prince of Wales Island enjoy the informal banter and value the empathy shown by teacher Earl Jeffrey who likes to start class by catching up on his student's interests, listening carefully and developing a personal connection with each student, many of whom have special needs.
Jeffrey's approach to teaching special needs students comprehensively with other students has eliminated traditional general education/special education barriers.
"His ability to work with every student, regardless of individual challenges, is something we should all strive to accomplish," said Lauren Burch, Superintendent of the Hydaburg School District and the Southeast Island School District. "Mr. Jeffrey is an exceptional teacher and his diving program is the envy of every small district in Alaska."
This exemplary personal emphasis to include special needs students in all activities won Jeffrey the State of Alaska, Department of Health & Social Services, Governor's Council on Disabilities & Special Education, 2013 Inclusive Practice Award. The award was presented during the Alaska Statewide Special Education Conference (ASSEC), which was held in Anchorage in February.
The Alaska Governor's Council on Disabilities and Special Education established the Inclusive Practice Award to bestow recognition on outstanding educators who work to ensure students with disabilities have the opportunity for an inclusive education with their peers as part of the general education curriculum. Nominations are made by parents, students and educators.
After graduation from Eastern Illinois University in 1988, Jeffrey headed to Fairbanks, Alaska to seek a teaching job, expecting to work with special education students, much like his influential mother; a career special educator. Since his parents had lived in Sitka in past years, Jeffrey had heard tales about the wonders of Southeast Alaska and was pleased to land a job in Hydaburg even though he had never been there.
The rest is history, as they say. Jeffrey has taught scuba outdoor education, shop, physical education, history and senior seminar at the junior/senior high school in Hydaburg for 23 years now with a goal for his students to become self-reliant and independent. Since the district has a staff of nine, all special education students have been in at least two, sometimes four of his classes each year. No one has ever failed.
"The best part of my job is the ability to get out of the classroom with the students," Jeffrey said.
One of his classes, scuba outdoor education, offers a rare opportunity for students to learn diving in public school. Jeffrey is often teased by other staff members about having the best teaching schedule and the most fun; he can't disagree.
Asked whether students learn by helping the special needs students, Jeffrey said, "I have had the situation where special education students are the mentors for the class in both scuba and vocational scenarios. They sometimes are my best divers and shop kids by far; there is no line drawn there at all for ability."
To increase career counseling in Hydaburg, Jeffrey created the senior seminar class, which is built into the daily schedule of each senior, allowing them time each day to talk and work on their post high school plan. Jeffrey focuses on the present and future for all students; eliciting thought about how their present decisions can affect their future lives. Many students keep in touch with Jeffrey as a trusted friend after graduating and moving away; often soliciting his encouraging influence.
In order to accommodate such a wide variety of students, Jeffrey continuously assess each student's needs and takes time to verbally instruct, easing the burden of challenging text and long, written descriptions while confronting students with higher level thinking questions as opposed to only factual recall.
Jeffrey maintains supportive relationships with parents, focusing on the children's strengths and encouraging a positive perception of the children. His hard work and genuine interest has earned Jeffrey the gratitude and respect of parents, students, educators, and community members. Burch summed it up, stating, "I'm very proud that Mr. Jeffrey was honored with the award. No one could deserve it more."

At one point during Sunday's game at Denver, it was suddenly 2004. Or was it 2003?
The time warp was created when Pete Carroll and middle linebacker Lofa Tatupu reached into their past to try and help their present. Carroll, the Seahawks' first-year coach, first coached Tatupu for those two seasons at the University of Southern California.
"I was reminding Lofa about an adjustment in the game (Sunday) that was something that we did in college," Carroll explained on Monday. "We ran the exact same blitz and pressure and I was going, 'Remember how we do this? And how we need to fit this thing up? And how we used to do it?'
"We were able to talk that far back."
Actually, it was more of a one-sided conversation. But the eye-to-eye, almost forehead-to-forehead, exchange at Invesco Field created a this-picture-is-worth-several-thousand-words image of why Tatupu is so valuable to the Seahawks' defense, and why Carroll is so happy to be reunited with him.
"When you've been with guys for some time, the depth and the reservoir of things that you have in your pocket really makes you versatile and can make you really strong and very adaptable," Carroll said. "And that's something you have to have in this league."
It's definitely something the Seahawks will need this week, as the defense prepares for Sunday's game at Qwest Field against a San Diego Chargers' offense that ranks No. 3 in the NFL and features a Milky Way's worth of star power – from Pro Bowl quarterback Philip Rivers (632 passing yards and five TD passes in two games) ; to All-Pro tight end Antonio Gates (10 receptions and three TD catches); to rookie running back Ryan Mathews (101 rushing yards), and counterpunch and change-up backs Darren Sproles (4.0-yard average and six receptions) and Mike Tolbert (108 yards and two TDs); to big-play wide receivers Malcolm Floyd (23.8-yard average on six receptions) and Legedu Naanee (20.7 on six).
That's where the Carroll-Tatupu connection will come in handy, again.
The fact that Tatupu is here is rooted in the endorsement Carroll gave him at the Trojans' Pro Day workout in the spring of 2005. The Seahawks needed a middle linebacker to slam the revolving door that had seen them start nine players the previous seven seasons at the pivotal position.
The pick was Tatupu, in the second round after the Seahawks traded up to select the middle linebacker who has less-than-prototypical size, but off-the-chart smarts and instincts.
"What really sold us on Lofa was the way Pete Carroll talked about him," then-general manager Tim Ruskell said at the time. "He went out of his way to praise Lofa's attributes, and coming from him that carried a lot of weight in our evaluation."
Reminded of that moment on Monday, Carroll smiled before offering, "Well, I know that (then-defensive coordinator) John Marshall and Pee Wee (then-defensive line coach Duane Board) and those guys that were here, we had been together at San Francisco. So they interpreted the stuff I said a little different than other people because we coached together.
"They banked on it at the time, when other people weren't willing to take the chance on him. I was surprised when he got drafted, kind of how good he did. But he's proven everything since he got here."
In fact, Carroll tried to persuade Tatupu to remain at USC for another season.
"When he was getting ready to come out, I was trying to sell him on the fact that he hasn't had enough time for people to appreciate you, to realize how special you are; to give him another year to really come to understand and talk about you, I think it would make a world of difference," Carroll recalled.
Tatupu's response? "He said, 'I don't care about that, I just want to go play,' " Carroll said. "He didn't care about that stuff."
Instead, Tatupu came to Seattle and made a world of difference for the Seahawks' defense. He has been voted a defensive captain or co-captain in each of his six seasons. He is the only player in franchise history to lead the team in tackles four consecutive seasons (2005-08), and was only the second rookie to do it. He was voted to three consecutive Pro Bowls (2005-07).
It took losing Tatupu to realize just what he means to the defense. He missed 11 games – and most a 12th – last season because of hamstring and pectoral injuries.
But now he's not only back, he's reunited with the coach who showed so much faith in him when others were more concerned about his lack of size and speed.
"Lofa is such a natural player," Carroll said. "He just gets the game. It makes sense to him. He is on a level of communication with the coaches and the game itself which is about as high as it can get. You can't go much deeper than we're going with a guy than we do with Lofa, because he can handle everything.
"He knows the game like a coach knows the game, from a player's eyes and perspective. He's just a very, very fun player to work with and to coach because you can do so many things."
That has been apparent in the first two games. He shares the team lead with 13 tackles – putting him on pace for a fourth 100-plus tackle season. He has deflected a pass. He has pressured the passer. He has plugged lanes to help the defense rank fifth against the run, allowing averages of 57 yards per game and 2.0 yards per carry. He has made countless pre-snap checks and readjustments to help those around him make plays.
"The league is so demanding that the more depth, the more background that you have, I think the better that you can stay ahead," Carroll said. "Lofa gives us all of those opportunities and that's why he makes other guys play better. He really does help other guys.
"Like the point guard that's dishing the ball off, he's getting guys in the right spots and doing the right thing all the time and then playing well himself."
Carroll paused briefly before finally adding a final assessment, "I think he's back to the form that people recognized a couple years ago when he was going to the Pro Bowl."
And this season, Tatupu is doing for a coach who recognized that potential long before most others.

Karma can be delicious when served on a sports dish. Barry Bonds, Sammy Sosa, and Rafael Palmeiro played a combined 8,171 regular-season games over the course of their long and celebrated careers. The number of World Series games they combined for? Seven. (All of them by Bonds, four of them losses.)
This Wednesday's announcement of the 2013 class of inductees to the Baseball Hall of Fame will stir more debate, discussion, and dissent than any such topic not centered on Pete Rose. Do players — like Bonds, Sosa, Palmeiro, and Roger Clemens — associated with baseball's steroid era get a pass for the game's highest individual honor if their career achievements are so grand the cheating can be viewed as incidental? (Which begs the question, is any cheating incidental?) How exactly do the Hall voters — members of the Baseball Writers Association of America (BBWAA) — distinguish between allegations (in the cases of Bonds, Clemens, and Sosa) and cases where a player was actually caught in the act (Palmeiro)? Most complicated of all, can voters be certain candidates for the Hall with less metaphorical smoke near their cases (Mike Piazza, Craig Biggio, Jeff Bagwell) never juiced?
It's an impossible shell game, really. And I continue to deliberate over a uniform policy the Hall (and BBWAA) should adopt for stars that inflated their achievements with chemical boosters. I'll say this: As long as Rose is not in the Baseball Hall of Fame and O.J. Simpson remains in the Pro Football Hall of Fame, ambiguity over what qualifies a former athlete for recognition will be the uncomfortable but necessary norm. (Side note: Whether or not Simpson killed two people, he's a documented abuser of women. In my mind, a worse human being than any career steroid hound.)
There's a component to the Hall of Fame those most passionately against the inclusion of steroid cheats must consider: The Hall is a repository of baseball history (really, nothing more) and should include the game's entire history, however dark one era may seem in reflection. There are Hall of Famers whose numbers benefited from rosters watered down by World War II service. (And Hall of Famers like Ted Williams whose numbers would be that much greater had they not served overseas.) Needless to say, Cy Young would not have won 511 games had he not pitched for 22 years during the game's "Dead Ball" era. And that's the point: baseball eras come and go. They all have heroes and villains. And they all have — or should have — Hall of Famers.
So yes, I'd consider the 'Roid Rogues for Hall of Fame induction. Three of them — Bonds, Clemens, and Palmeiro (one of only four players with 3,000 hits and 500 home runs) — absolutely belong on a bronze plaque. But I'd have two qualifiers for my vote if I were selecting players to be displayed at the most famous sports museum in America:
• No election in the first year of eligibility. Some would say there's no difference between a first-ballot Hall of Famer (like Ernie Banks) and a player who has to wait decades to get in (like the late Ron Santo). Those people aren't paying attention. First-ballot selection is for the players you only need one name for: Ruth, Mantle, Mays, Aaron, Musial, Ripken. Their plaques should feature a distinguishing star. No player with serious steroid "smoke" near his name gets a vote on the first ballot.
• Plaques for players under a cloud of suspicion should say as much. A child gazing at Barry Bonds' image 50 years from now might read the following: "Seven-time MVP, 14-time All-Star. Most career home runs (762) and walks (2,558) at time of retirement. Hit at least 30 home runs and stole at least 30 bases in five different seasons. Eight Gold Gloves. Spike in power numbers after age 35 called into question as part of game's steroid era."
Make Bonds (and Clemens, and Palmeiro, and Sosa) wait at least a year, to further consider the legitimacy of their astonishing statistics. For now, vote for Craig Biggio (3,000 hits, all in an Astros uniform) and Jack Morris (most wins in 1980s and a member of championship teams in Detroit, Minnesota, and Toronto). Every year needs a Hall of Fame class, clean or otherwise. As long as Pete Rose remains on the outside looking in, spare me the morality wall. It's a history museum. A wonderful, inspiring history museum. But nothing more.

Google Buzz Released
I didn't guessed Google will do it. Google is not giving any gap at all for its competitors. I though Google will leave real time search to twitter. But the giant came into ring.
I think.. It will takes years for Google Buzz to balance twitter. Because there are already lots of twitter applications integrated. For twitter there are many third party applications and plugins are ready to use. It will definitely takes more than a year for Google to compete with twitter. But.. I think. twitter will give strong competition.
What do you think friends?

TWO friends are helping brides ensure they have something old for their big day by selling vintage wedding dresses.
Shelley Jukes, aged 36, and Becci Bradley, 38, who both grew up in Dudley, have launched their Birmingham-based company Luxe Bridal.
The women, whose backgrounds are in dress-making and retail, have sourced vintage dresses from across the country in all shapes and sizes. And they have opened a fitting room in a unit at the Custard Factory in Digbeth where brides-to-be can try on the gowns.
"We have both always loved vintage and are real vintage hoarders," says Shelley, who is mum to ten-month-old Kingsley and now lives in Stirchley.
"Vintage has become really popular but there didn't seem to be places offering wedding dresses."
To be declared vintage, a dress needs to be more than 25 years old and the women have found dresses going back to the 'Swinging Sixties' and beyond.
"I think what women like about vintage is that nobody else will be wearing that dress," says Shelley. "And they are really beautiful dresses.
"If you were to try and get one made new it would cost a lot of money as a lot of them would have been expensive at the time."
The women have already had a good response despite only launching their website and fitting room in September. "We did a lot of vintage bridal fairs and had a lot of interest," says Becci, who is mum to seven-year-old Evie and Tom, two.
"Some people wanted to take the dresses straight away and others called us afterwards.
"Each dress is so distinctive, it would be lovely to know the stories behind them."
The women are also keen to hear from anyone with vintage wedding dresses. For information see www.luxebridal.co.uk, or email firstname.lastname@example.com.

Stagecoach is launching a revamped fleet of open top buses for the holiday season in Skegness.
The Seasiders are based on classic holiday themes, with each of the six buses designed to be characters in their own right: Rocky, Shelly, Candy, Pierre and Sandy, with one more character design to be chosen following a competition involving local youngsters.
The revamp, which includes new livery and refurbished seats and interiors, is part of the bus company's efforts to support the local tourism industry and provide fun holiday-themed accessible public transport for residents and visitors to Skegness.
The striking fleet will be unveiled at a special launch on the Tower Esplanade in Skegness by Mayor Jim Carpenter, at 11.30am, Monday, April 7, the start of the Easter school holidays.
Michelle Hargreaves, Stagecoach East Midlands managing director, said: "We're delighted to be introducing the Seasiders to Skegness. Tourism is a vital part of the town's economy and a fantastic place for a family holiday.
"We want to support tourism in the town and what better way than the Seasiders?
"It's all the fun of the seaside! We're hoping they'll be a hit with residents and tourists alike."
The Seasiders will be on display at the launch along with the as-yet-unnamed bus.
The event runs from 11am to 4pm, with some of the Seasiders heading out and into service on the day.
The launch will feature music, children's entertainment with Mr Shiney, balloon-making, magic shows, a Wheel of Fortune to claim free goody beach bags and a new timetable packed with money-saving holiday attraction offers.
There will also be the chance at the launch to enter a competition to design the sixth and final member of the Seasider open-top bus family. Stagecoach staff will be on hand to provide information about the service.
A children's storybook about the adventures of Rocky has also been produced, and will be on sale for £2 to raise money for the When You Wish Upon a Star charity, which helps grant the wishes of children living with life threatening illnesses.
Stagecoach will be making a £1,000 donation to the charity at the launch.
East Lindsey District Council's portfolio holder for economic development Coun Craig Leyland said: "It is great to see Stagecoach supporting our local economy and tourism industry as well as investing in our public transport system.
"We applaud any business which invests in local services and attractions and I hope that these wonderful open top busses will not only provide a way to access the resorts of Skegness, Ingoldmells and Chapel St Leonards and all that they have to offer, but also create an experience in themselves at a very reasonable cost."
The Seasiders will connect Skegness and Ingoldmells on service number 3 along the coast. Stagecoach has teamed up with numerous local attractions including Fantasy Island, Butlin's, The Pleasure Beach and Skegness Pier, to offer a range of money-saving deals.
Mark Mageean, Stagecoach's Skegness operations manager, said: "We're hoping the Seasiders will bring a touch of colour and fun to Skegness. They look fantastic and everyone has their own favourite – mine is Rocky.
"All the buses are being kept hidden until the launch, even to the point of only being moved from different depots at night. We don't want to spoil the surprise ahead of the big launch on Monday!"
Tony Tye, chairman of the Skegness and District Chamber of Commerce, said: "It's vital that organisations and businesses all work together to provide the best experience possible, as we continue to develop new offerings for visitors to Skegness.
"Combining these wonderful buses with simple timetables that now provide discounts to attractions along the route is a great idea to encourage more people to explore and enjoy the best of Skegness without having to rely on their car."
Tickets start from £2.10 for adults and £1 for children, with an Adult Dayrider £4 and Family Dayrider, offering unlimited rides for a family of up to five on all the Seasiders, £10. The buses are all wheelchair and buggy-friendly.
For more information about the Seasiders go to www.skegnessseasiders.co.uk
See this week's paper for an entry form to design one of the new buses.

EDITORIAL: Cyber medal needed downgrade
Published 1:00 am, Tuesday, April 16, 2013
It's unusual for one federal official to quickly reverse a decision by his predecessor in the same administration. But Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel made the right call when he canceled plans for a new medal for drone and cyber warriors.
There's nothing wrong with recognizing service members who perform outstanding work in this new field. Yet Hagel's predecessor, Leon Panetta, ranked the new medal higher than traditional combat medals such as the Purple Heart and Bronze Star. That sparked widespread criticism because it undermined the contributions of combat soldiers who could be wounded or even killed while serving this country.
Hagel ruled that instead of having a separate medal, cyber warriors will be eligible for a special pin or device that would be attached to existing medals or ribbons. That make sense, and as usual, taxpayers are wondering why the government couldn't get something like this right the first time.

Sports Chaplaincy
Full Product Description
This ground-breaking book provides an in-depth analysis of the theory and practice of sports chaplaincy in a global context. Written in an accessible style, yet based on academic evidence and theory, the contributors include those leading major national chaplaincy organisations located in the UK, US, Australia and Continental Europe, as well as chaplains and sport psychologists working in elite and amateur sport and those involved in teaching pastoral theology. Providing a rich and informative source of knowledge and inspiration for practitioners, athletes, academics and those interested in the general relationship between sport and faith, contributors also address the provision of sports chaplaincy at sporting mega-events, including the Olympic Games. This much needed overview of chaplaincy provision in sport across a range of national and international contexts and settings, including both catholic and protestant perspectives, is the first collection of its kind to bring together leading scholars in sports chaplaincy with a view to providing professional accreditation and training amidst the fast-emerging field of sports theology.
Sports Chaplaincy by Andrew Parker; Nick J. Watson was published by Ashgate Publishing Group in February 2016. The ISBN for Sports Chaplaincy is 9781472414038.

Thanks. I was trying to ascertain that MSIE 5.5 was wrong in its handling of :first-letter. In particular test 18 on this page: http://www.richinstyle.com/test/application/firstletter.html 'This element has a non-breaking space as its first letter. Therefore the 'T' shouldn't be red.' (MSIE has the T red).

Menendez Brothers Found Guilty
LOS ANGELES: A Los Angeles jury found Erik and Lyle Menendez guilty of first degree murder for killing their parents in their Beverly Hills home seven years ago. The case that gripped the nation with tales of power and wealth gone awry has finally come to a close after two trials and one hung jury. The brothers were convicted of brutally murdering their parents, Jose and Mary Louise "Kitty" Menedez on August 20, 1989. The brothers first accused the Mafia of the crime, claiming they were at the movies at the time. Following the murder, Eric and Lyle spent six months spending the fortune their Cuban immigrant father worked years to build. When they were charged with their parents' murder, the Menendez brothers told a bizarre tale of murder, incest, sexual abuse and torture. Claiming they feared for their lives, Eric and Lyle said that they believed they had no choice but to kill their tormentors.

STATE OF TENNESSEE v. ROBERTO VASQUES, KEVIN JOEL HERNANDEZ, LUIS MARTIN VASQUEZ, HECTOR ALONZO, AND VICTOR HUGO GARZA
Court: TSC
Paul G. Summers, Attorney General and Reporter; Richard H. Dunavant, Assistant Attorney General; Victor S. (Torry) Johnson, III, District Attorney General; and John C. Zimmerman, Assistant District Attorney General, for the appellant/appellee, State of Tennessee.
Jerry Gonzalez, Nashville, Tennessee, for the appellant, Roberto Vasques. James O. Martin, III, Nashville, Tennessee, for the appellant, Kevin Joel Hernandez. John G. Oliva, Nashville, Tennessee, for the appellee, Luis Martin Vasquez. David M. Hopkins, Nashville, Tennessee, for the appellant, Hector Alonzo. Dwight E. Scott, Nashville, Tennessee, for the appellee, Victor Hugo Garza.
Judge: WADE
Our grant of the applications for permission to appeal filed by the State of Tennessee and certain of the defendants was for the purpose of determining (1) whether the evidence at trial was sufficient to support the convictions for conspiracy to possess with intent to sell more than seventy pounds of marijuana within one thousand feet of a school zone; (2) whether the waiver of lesser-included offense instructions under Tennessee Code Annotated section 40-18-110 violates constitutional principles; and (3) whether the Court of Criminal Appeals applied the proper standard in affirming the grant of coram nobis relief to Vasquez and Garza, reversing the trial court, and denying the relief to Vasques, Hernandez, and Alonzo. We conclude that the trial evidence was sufficient to support the convictions and that the statutory waiver of the entitlement to complete jury instructions does not violate the right to a jury trial or the separation of powers principle. We also hold that Vasquez and Garza are entitled to a new trial based upon newly discovered evidence and that Vasques, Hernandez, and Alonzo are not entitled to coram nobis relief. In consequence, the judgments of the Court of Criminal Appeals are affirmed.
Holder concurring and dissenting
ANITA HANEY v. MAGNA INTERNATIONAL, INC., EAGLE BEND MANUFACTURING, INC. and CNA INSURANCE COMPANY
Court: TWCA
Linda J. Hamilton Mowles, Esq., Knoxville, Tennessee, for Appellants, Magna International, Inc., Eagle Bend Manufacturing, Inc., and CNA Insurance Company.
Roger Lee Ridenour, Esq., Clinton, Tennessee, for Appellee, Anita Haney.
Judge: FRIERSON
This workers' compensation appeal has been referred to the Special Workers' Compensation Appeals Panel of the Supreme Court in accordance with Tenn. Code Ann. Section 50-6-225(e)(3) for hearing and reporting to the Supreme Court of findings of fact and conclusions of law. The trial court awarded the employee benefits based on permanent partial disability awards of fifty percent (50%) to each arm. On appeal, the employer contends that the trial court erred in making the fifty percent (50%) permanent, partial disability awards. The employee contends that she should be awarded damages for a frivolous appeal. We affirm, as modified, the judgment of the trial court.
PAUL RAY SEATON, ET AL. v. RICHARD ROWE, ET AL.
Court: TCA
William T. Alt, Chattanooga, Tennessee, for the Appellants, Paul Ray Seaton and John Nolan Seaton.
Joseph H. Crabtree, Jr., Sweetwater, Tennessee, for the Appellee, Richard Rowe, Individually and as Personal Representative of the Estate of Zola G. Howell, et al.
Judge: SWINEY
Carl and Zola Howell leased a 60 acre tract of land to Diversified Systems, Inc. and, because the land was landlocked, a 50-foot easement. The Howells later entered into an option agreement with Paul and John Seaton (the "Seatons"). The option agreement granted the Seatons a ten-year option to purchase over 581 acres of land. The option agreement excepted from the option to purchase the 60 acre tract of land then leased to Diversified Systems, Inc. The issue on appeal concerns whether, in the option agreement, the parties intended to exclude only the 60 acre tract of land, or the 60 acre tract plus the 50-foot easement tract. The Trial Court determined that the exclusion covered both the 60 acre tract and the 50-foot easement tract. We reverse the judgment of the Trial Court and remand for further proceedings.

The report predicts healthy revenue growth for 2007, but a slowing of profit growth due to increasing costs.

Academic Ceremony Symbols & Traditions
The Howard Lantern is dedicated to Professor Lorn Lambier Howard, Chief Marshal Emeritus of SMU from 1978-1987, in honor of his role in shaping the traditions and protocol of SMU's modern-day academic ceremonies.
Designed in 2008 and crafted out of steel, aluminum and water glass, the lantern symbolizes the Rotunda of Dallas Hall, the University's oldest building and centerpiece of our campus. Engraved around the top band is the University's motto, "veritas liberabit vos," which means "the truth will make you free." Around the base are the words to Varsity, SMU's alma mater. Each year during the May Baccalaureate Service this lantern is handed down by the Senior Class President to a representative of the Junior Class, a symbolic passing of the light that sustains our University. The Howard Lantern serves as a reminder of the important traditions which make up our corporate University life and of the light of learning and intellectual curiosity which shines within the students, faculty and staff here at SMU.

Working as Paloma Faith's stylist for more than five years has been a dream gig for Karl Willett. The former recruitment worker moved to fashion when he got bored of his nine-to-five job. "I found the courage to change my direction in life," he says.
"I've always been creative and styling came naturally. I did a three-week visual merchandiser internship at Selfridges & Co, which became a paid freelance position for three years. I used that time to network." Willett worked on everything from magazine shoots to personal shopping for private clients.
He landed a job with Steps's Lisa Scott Lee before going on to style Jessie J, the Sugababes and Jamelia. "Working with strong females is my forte," he says.
And what advice would he give to budding stylists? "You need to understand who you are as a stylist first. Music is fast-moving and open to extreme criticism, so confidence and a thick skin is important. As a stylist you're welcomed into an artist's world, becoming a member of their family, so privacy and trust is essential. It's a much more intimate working relationship compared with other areas of styling."
Willett says "fate and hard work" helped him but warns the job consumes him.
"I love my job, but no one can prepare you for how much of your life is taken up by work – the music industry never sleeps. You can't control last-minute decisions and changes, but you learn to adapt and produce the right results. You become accustomed to long hours and awkward conversations. And if you love styling, these things are obstacles you overcome naturally."
Styling Paloma
Karl Willett shares the three best places to shop if you love Paloma Faith's style.
Black Out II "One of our favorite vintage stores with some of London's best clothing and jewellery."
Lulu Guinness "Lulu named a bag after Paloma as she was inspired by her love of art deco design."
Piers Atkinson "One of my favorite milliners, whether I'm looking for an elegant hat or an eccentric piece of art."

Notre Dame Fighting Irish to Go Undefeated For the Rest Of the Year?October 26, 2010
Albert Einstein stated that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.
So, can someone explain to me why I start the first week of September off the same way every year. I sit there and defend Notre Dame football, I profess to anyone that will listen that this is the year We're back, the "Return to Glory." And every year, here I am, deflated.
Notre Dame lost this past weekend to Navy. Again.
Navy's backup fullback ran for over 200 yards. Backup. Fullback. Two hundred yards.
Yes, the Irish were without the top four weapons on offense, and its hard to score points with your starting back at less than 100 percent, and missing an all-American tight end and both starting wide receivers.
Maybe it explains the fact that the Irish couldn't put the ball in the end zone from the one-yard line against a heavily outweighed Navy defense. But, does that explain the beat down that Navy's offense gave us? Does it explain the three touchdowns by Ricky Dobbs? No. It doesn't.
"If we play like we played defensively, there won't be a year five and six for me," head coach Brian Kelly said.
He is at least thinking realistically, he already sees himself as the next ND coach to last three or four years and get booted. Somewhere Charlie, Bob and Tyrone are saying, "I told ya so."
I'm sick and tired of it being a rebuilding year, when hasn't it been. Can we just hire Lou Holtz back so we can start being relevant in the college football landscape?
But lets look towards the future because it looks positive. (Einstein shaking his head at me)
ND has four games left, one against another option team, Army, one against a beatable but winning Tulsa team and two against tougher squads—USC and Utah.
If the Irish can put up a stand, and show that the loss to Navy isn't the beginning of the end like it was for ole Charlie Weis, than we can consider this season a success.
This isn't the same old Irish football team, the talent is there, the speed is there.
The defense has come a long way since last season and with Manti and Carlo manning the middle, I think we have a fantastic starting point to build on.
The offense has a decent amount of work to do, but the pieces of the puzzle are there, Kelly just needs to start putting them together.
Michael Floyd will be back, so will Theo Riddick. Unfortunately we will have to wait till next year to see Rudolph.
I don't think this Irish team is going to quit, its not this teams character and Kelly simply won't let them go out like Weis did.
I see the Irish winning out for the rest of the season, and giving us fans something to be proud of which would be a shot a a bowl game that might be played on the main continent.
And I'll be there next year, telling anyone within earshot that this is the year... I guess I am insane by Einsteins standards.

A hawksbill turtle named Matilda will be released for a second time into waters off Green Island today.
The juvenile had been checked in for a second stint in rehab recently after being tracked in the Coral Sea for almost three years.
Turtle researcher Jennie Gilbert, from the Cairns Turtle Rehabilitation Centre, first met Matilda in 2009 when she was found at Mission Beach by local rangers.
She was transported to the centre at Portsmith suffering "floaters syndrome" and was released in 2010 at Green Island with a tracker attached for researchers at James Cook University and the Department of Environment and Resource Management.
"The tracking device has enabled us to see how turtles live in the region and to see how and where they travel once released back into the wild," Ms Gilbert said.
"Matilda has been having a wonderful time and has travelled 4707km sight seeing the underwater world of the Great Barrier Reef."
Ms Gilbert said the turtle was picked up and taken back to the centre about three months ago because she appeared malnourished.
"The trackers normally only last 12-18 months, but Matilda has now been tracked for two years and eight months.
"She stays around Green Island, visits other reefs and then comes back to Green Island."
Matilda will be released today from a Great Adventures Cruises vessel.
Quicksilver Group managing director Tony Baker applauded the not-for-profit centre for assisting sick and injured turtles back into the wild.
"It's amazing from the research of her tracker that she swims on average over 5km every day," he said.
"We hope Matilda enjoys getting back to her life around Green Island."
Matilda was the first turtle on the Far North east coast of Australia to have a satellite tracking device attached to her shell. To follow Matilda's journeys, visit seaturtle.org

Gasoline prices swing higher before holidayPosted: Updated:
NEW YORK -- Retail gasoline prices continued to climb Friday ahead of the Memorial Day weekend and the unofficial start of America's summer driving season.
Related Gas Prices Link
The national average pump price increased nearly 3 cents overnight to $2.391 a gallon, according to auto club AAA, Wright Express and Oil Price Information Service. Gasoline prices ticked higher every day this month.
Gas prices surged higher though a crude rally appears to have stalled.
Benchmark crude for July delivery fell 6 cents to $60.99 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. In London, Brent prices rose 12 cents to $60.05 a barrel on the ICE Futures exchange.
Refiners have been turning less oil into gas with millions of people driving less in the recession. That is one of the reasons there is a divergence in price between oil and gas.
Gas is 32.9 cents a gallon more expensive than last month, but it's still $1.44 a gallon cheaper than a year ago when fears of an oil shortage sent energy prices soaring.
In the lower-48 states, gas prices ranged from an average of $2.20 a gallon in Arizona to $2.62 a gallon in California. Gas in Florida cost an average of $2.40 a gallon, while in Nevada it cost average $2.36 a gallon to fill up.
Michael Lynch, president of Strategic Energy & Economic Research, said the national average probably won't go much higher than $2.40 a gallon.
"In the last five years or so," Lynch said, "there's a tendency for the price to peak out at or before the start of driving season."
Crude prices have held around $60, partly due to the falling value of the dollar. Crude is priced in dollars, so it becomes cheaper on international markets when the dollar falls.
The dollar fell Friday to a four-month low against the euro. By midday, it was trading at $1.3979. The dollar bought 94.67 yen, down from 99 yen two weeks ago.
Oil supplies have been in flux recently. OPEC countries have boosted exports by an estimated 200,000 barrels a day in the four weeks to June 6, according to tanker tracker Oil Movements.
Analyst Addison Armstrong also noted that Nigerian crude production dwindled to half the country's total capacity in April amid renewed fighting with militants who want to remove all oil workers from the region.
In other Nymex trading, gasoline for June delivery rose 1.11 cents to $1.8108 a gallon and heating oil gained 0.6 cent to $1.5354 a gallon. Natural gas for June delivery was up 0.2 cent to $3.605 per 1,000 cubic feet.

What I'm Reading: Sigh. I'm still working my way through The Game of Thrones. Alas, I cannot read it at night because I don't want to stop reading. I'm reading it on my lunch breaks and when I get the odd moment alone through out my dad. And yes, that does mean in the bathroom (but also in the school pick up line, while "watching" RescueBots with Atticus, etc…). I'm really enjoying it and since I haven't seen the show I am pleasantly surprised at each turn. Sure, I know all the major deaths, but I'm constantly like "oh no!" "GASP!" and "WAHHHH?????" I also tend to throw up metal horns at particularly gruesome scenes. This book is METAL.
Moby Dick: I'm also reading Moby Dick by Herman Melville for Roof Beam Reader's readalong. I am a few chapters behind, but I can say that I'm enjoying it more than 16 year old me enjoyed it. The prose is gorgeous. Thus far the narrator, Ishmael, has met Queequeg, they've roomed together, Queequeg saved someone from drowning, they went to church, and now they've had chowder. And that's the first 75 pages. It really flew by for me more than I thought it would. I will say the droning on about Queequeg being a Noble Savage is grating on my nerves, but hopefully that will not carry through the entire novel.
Bookish Movies: This morning I watched How I Live Now on the Netflix. It is a 2013 dystopian movie based on the novel by Meg Rosoff. I enjoyed the book when I read it years ago and all I remember not liking is Rosoff's absence of quotation marks when people are talking. That got on my nerves. Anyhoo, the movie was very good and it is every bit as bleak as The Hunger Games but more lonely and alienated and with little explanation as to what led to the war ravaging the world. The ending isn't tidy, it is uncomfortable, there's violence, and certainly a scene that makes obvious women are being raped at a "rape" camp (there's your trigger warning!). Essentially — it is how I would image the world to be if World War III were to come about.
Reading Goals for this week: Catch up on Moby Dick and finish The Game of Thrones.
Happy Reading!

Family Law

Hi. My ex husband told me yesterday that he will be reducing his maintenance payments for our child by over £200 per month from the amount we agreed in our family based arrangement to the figure that the government's child maintenance calculator says. He has remarried and has a new baby and has decided to work part time instead of full time (his wife works). I have paid him almost £25,000 as an informal divorce settlement as he moved out of the house (his name was not on the mortgage and I had the house before we were married) and have been continuing to pay him £50 per per month (reduced from his child maintenance payments) as he felt he should have more. I am in debt and could not afford it but did so as I thought it was the right thing to do at the time. We agreed both the divorce settlement figure and the child maintenance figure at the same time. Is there anything I can do as I think it's so unfair that I've kept to my side of a financial arrangement and he is trying to back out of his. I do not have a partner and cannot afford for him to reduce his payments.
Hi Clare,
My daughter is 11 now. The house is worth about £300,000 now but much less than that when we separated. There is about £170,000 outstanding on the mortgage. We separated 8 years ago and divorced a couple of years ago. He was never on the mortgage and I was the main earner at the time of our marriage. Now I am working 6 days a week but on much less money.
I have paid him £23,550 to date. He has a mortgage (well I'm assuming he's on the mortgage) with his new wife. They've been in their new house nearly 3 years I think. He has a car which he just bought last month.
Hi. Did you get my message yesterday? Niki
Yes that's correct.
