What's In a Name? A Child Born, A Son Given
For a child will be born to us, a son will be given to us;
And the government will rest on His shoulders;
And His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
Eternal Father, Prince of Peace. (Isaiah 9:6)
Isaiah 9:6 contains more names of Messiah in a single verse than any other in the Bible. The names of Messiah presented in this verse cannot be fully appreciated, however, without an understanding of the broader context of the passage.
As Isaiah prophesies, chapter 8 ends on a note of judgment:
When they say to you, "Consult the mediums and the spiritists who whisper and mutter," should not a people consult their God? Should they consult the dead on behalf of the living? To the law and to the testimony! If they do not speak according to this word, it is because they have no dawn. They will pass through the land hard-pressed and famished, and it will turn out that when they are hungry, they will be enraged and curse their king and their God as they face upward. Then they will look to the earth, and behold, distress and darkness, the gloom of anguish; and they will be driven away into darkness. (Isaiah 8:19-22)
Indeed, in short order, as history demonstrates, Assyria came and took Israel into captivity. Judgment had come.
Yet in the midst of the darkness, chapter 9 opens on a note of hope:
But there will be no more gloom for her who was in anguish; in earlier times He treated the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali with contempt, but later on He shall make it glorious, by the way of the sea, on the other side of Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles. (Isaiah 9:1)
Just as surely as judgment came, so too would the land of Israel one day see the glory of God.
Now when Jesus heard that John had been taken into custody, He withdrew into Galilee; and leaving Nazareth, He came and settled in Capernaum, which is by the sea, in the region of Zebulun and Naphtali. This was to fulfill what was spoken through Isaiah the prophet:
UPON THEM A LIGHT DAWNED." (Matthew 4:122-16)
As Isaiah declared in 7:14, the "great light" that would be Israel's future hope was in fact, a child.
Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, a virgin will be with child and bear a son, and she will call His name Immanuel. (Isaiah 7:14)
We learn more about this child in Isaiah 9:6. Read its glorious promises again:
For a child will be born to us, a son will be given to us;
And the government will rest on His shoulders;
And His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
Eternal Father, Prince of Peace. (Isaiah 9:6)
Note first that this child will be born. This refers to Messiah's relation to men. Even in His birth, He will enter into the experience of humanity.1
The child, then, will be born, but this same One is a "son" who is "given." Whose son? Given to whom?
By this the love of God was manifested in us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world so that we might live through Him. In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. No one has seen God at any time; if we love one another, God abides in us, and His love is perfected in us. By this we know that we abide in Him and He in us, because He has given us of His Spirit. We have seen and testify that the Father has sent the Son to be the Savior of the world.
Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God. (1 John 4:9-15)
Denoting the Messiah's relationship to God, we see that the Son of God is given to men, as a child born, to bring salvation for His people.
For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given, the divine son of God. Jesus Christ is absolutely alone. He is an amazing person. He is a person who comes among men and points out men's sins but acknowledges no sin on his part. He is a man who comes and says to men that you must repent. But he does not repent. He tells us that we are sick, and that he is the good physician. He tells us that we are sinners and not only that he is not a sinner, but that he is the Savior. He tells us that we are sheep, and he says that he is the good shepherd. If Jesus Christ is not really what he claims to be, he's a madman. And he is not one that we can follow.1
Yet, Jesus Christ is who He claimed to be. He is no madmen, but rather the Savior of men. A child born, a Son given, salvation purchased.

At the meeting last month between Ontario Transportation Minister Steven Del Duca and city representatives, the minister said Hamilton city staff will soon be invited to meet with Metrolinx in an attempt to get down to brass tacks on Hamilton's transit needs. The development comes as some noted urbanists, long seen as staunch supporters of LRT, are starting to have second thoughts.
Yonah Freemark is the creator of The Transport Politic and has contributed on urban issues to the New York Times, CNN, Next City, and other outlets. He is a project manager at Metropolitan Planning Council in Chicago. Writing in the urbanist website Citylab he says five U.S. cities (Buffalo, Portland, Sacramento, San Diego, and San Jose) opened light rail systems in the 1980s to great fanfare. Light rail cities like Portland became transportation models for the country, pointing toward a transit-friendly urban future. Yet for even a passionate urbanist like Freemark the LRT dream has not lived up to expectations, "you might think that the experience building light rail in the 1980s had been unambiguously successful. Yet it doesn't take much digging to find that over the past thirty years, these initial five systems in themselves neither rescued the center cities of their respective regions nor resulted in higher transit use — the dual goals of those first-generation lines." The writer goes on to say that one of the reasons for the disappointing result was the failure by the original five cities to engage in aggressive development near the transit stations. In Hamilton it has been suggested that such development would occur spontaneously. He also acknowledges that each of the five cities continued to develop freeways at the same time as building light rail and that "these conflicting policies had as much to do with light rail's mediocre outcomes as the trains themselves — if not more. Citylab describes itself as a publication that "informs and inspires the people who are creating the cities of the future—and those who want to live there."
Jarrett Walker is an international consultant in public transit network design and policy. Coming from Portland, a city often held up as an example of the benefits of LRT, Walker was quoted in a recent Toronto Star article sounding a skeptical note. "The US has been under the influence of a very aggressive movement claiming essentially that the streetcar vehicle…has some sort of intrinsic properties that cause it to generate great communities regardless of whether it has any utility as transportation whatsoever." Speaking to Toronto Planning earlier this year Walker says we shouldn't care if the equipment is on rail or tires. Much more important, according to Walker is to maximize the number of places a person can get to in their city within a reasonable period of time, say 15 to 30 minutes—a concept he calls "abundant access." Use that criteria rather than what kind of transit vehicle is chosen. Frequency, speed and multiple destinations are key elements of his transit vision. "Is the technology a goal or is technology the tool?" he asked his Toronto audience.
Arguably, Hamilton's Rapid Ready report is closer to Walker's vision of an effective transit system than the proposed LRT B Line, because it emphasizes improvements in mobility across and between all parts of the city, above and below the escarpment and into the suburbs. As Walker says, "It is an obsolete model just to get people downtown– people want to reach multiple destinations within a reasonable period of time."

Situated in the Eastern Mediterranean, the Republic of Cyprus is an attractive location for the development of entrepreneurship, a distribution hub, and a gateway to investment in the European Union, Eastern Europe, Asia and Africa. A population of 80,000 is made up of about 84% Greek Cypriots, 12% Turkish Cypriots and 4% minority ethnic groups such as the Maronites and Armenians. The dissolution of the Ottoman Empire in the 1920s, following the protectorate of Cyprus by the United Kingdom, incited nearly a century of political instability which still divides the islanders. It is therefore important to avoid this sensitive issue with Greek and Turkish communities.
The latest World Bank annual ratings rank Cyprus 53rd among 190 economies for Ease of Doing Business. It has a modern, free-market, service-based economy and a high income per capita, bolstering the consumer market. Importantly, the healthy consumerism has not negatively affected the cost of doing business in Cyprus, as it provides business ventures with one of the lowest set-up and operating costs within the EU. The Government provides a number of policies to encourage foreign investments, and particularly small business opportunities and incentives, with a globally-oriented outlook, such as tax-friendly legislation.
Personal relationships are key when encountering local business peoples. Trust, respect and hospitality should be the primary foundations of these relationships. But the Cypriots are also consistently shrewd and knowledgeable regarding international business.
The World Business Culture website's expert advice will help navigate the potential risks of the regulatory environment and aid understanding of the cultural characteristics of Cypriot business people, company formation and regulatory legislation.

Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders has announced in a series of tweets that CNN reporter Jim Acosta's press credentials have been suspended--"until further notice."
The suspension came as a result of Acosta "placing his hands on a young woman just trying to do her job as a White House intern," according to Sanders.
Sanders tweeted: "President Trump believes in a free press and expects and welcomes tough questions of him and his Administration. We will, however, never tolerate a reporter placing his hands on a young woman just trying to do her job as a White House intern."
"Contrary to CNN's assertions there is no greater demonstration of the President's support for a free press than the event he held today. Only they would attack the President for not supporting a free press in the midst of him taking 68 questions from 35 different reporters," she added.
"The fact that CNN is proud of the way their employee behaved is not only disgusting, it's an example of their outrageous disregard for everyone, including young women, who work in this Administration. As a result of today's incident, the White House is suspending the hard pass of the reporter involved until further notice."

How to Spot Dangerous Drivers and Avoid Them
There are four things that can cause a person to become a dangerous driver; attention, condition, environment, and road rage. If you learn to spot people who are being affected by these four things you will be better able to avoid them and hopefully prevent their decreased driving skills from negatively impacting your driving experience.
1 – Attention
Attention refers to the attention the driver is paying to his or her surroundings as well as the act of driving. If the attention of the other driver is not completely on the task of driving, then he or she is a potentially dangerous driver. There are several indicators that the driver's attention is being divided between driving and another task. If you notice that the driver is talking or texting on a cell phone, eating, talking with other passengers, looking at a map, or pursuing any other task while attempting to drive it is best to pass them quickly if you are already next to them. If you are behind them, slow down considerably and allow them to leave your immediate area if you notice the behavior while you are still behind them.
2 – Condition
Pay attention to the condition of the vehicles around you, it can be an indicator of the driver's commitment to safe driving. If a car has a broken signal or tail light it will be difficult to anticipate their movements in traffic, this could lead to an accident. If the vehicle clearly has a spare tire replacing one of the four standard tires, be especially careful because that smaller tire is not as safe over long distances or high speeds. You have no idea how long it has been installed on the vehicle and it is better to be mindful of the risks associated with it. Just because other drivers are being careless in the condition of their car does not make you less responsible for paying attention to them. They are obviously being somewhat careless in the maintenance of their vehicle, which makes them potentially dangerous drivers. While it is true that the faulty equipment could be a recent development and that the driver may already have an appointment to remedy the situation, the fact remains that if a vehicle is not at optimum operating efficiency, the driver is subsequently bound to be more dangerous. The driver may simply be able to less effectively communicate their intentions to other drivers and because the safety of the vehicle has been compromised.
3 – Environment
The environment in which you and the other motorists are driving can cause people who are normally good drivers to become dangerous drivers. People who drive well in normal road conditions may not be able to react appropriately in heavy rain or snow. In inclement weather, it is best to consider all drivers to be potentially dangerous drivers and give other vehicles on the road more room than you normally would to allow for slower reaction times and decreased visibility. In heavy rain, what appear to be small puddles may actually be significant bodies of water that could cause a vehicle to stall in the middle of the road, requiring rapid deceleration on your part. What appears to be clear asphalt in the middle of a cold snap could actually be what is known as black ice, or a patch of road that has frozen becoming quite slippery and causing other drivers to lose control of their vehicle. Be as conscious of the environment you are driving in as the drivers you are surrounded by as the environment could at any moment turn those safe drivers into dangerous drivers.
4 – Road Rage
Road rage is typically regarded as being a heightened sense of anger when engaged in driving. Drivers who are experiencing road rage are quite dangerous. If you notice a driver acting aggressively towards you or other drivers on the road it is best to avoid them completely and not provoke them further by driving aggressively or by retaliating with offensive words or gestures, which could lead to a violent confrontation.
Dangerous drivers are all around us when we enter traffic. Even people who are normally excellent drivers can become dangerous if they become distracted or if they encounter weather they are not accustomed to driving in. It is almost impossible to completely avoid dangerous drivers, however, you can mitigate the danger they pose by being vigilant in looking for signs that they are not being as diligent in driving as they should be and by taking measures to limit your proximity to them.

When I heard that Tampa was having a balloon glow in Curtis Hixon Park, I was immediately in. The small park nestled amongst Tampa skyline was filled with people from all over the bay area. The result of a very strong and effective marketing campaign. Although I took these pictures yesterday, I feel like there is a lot for me to improve on the next time I get the opportunity to shoot hot air balloons again. I think that has been one of the most important parts of my journey as a photographer, learning from and appreciating how the photos turn out.But enough about how I feel about my pictures, if you're reading this you probably just want to see some cool balloon pictures!

Back in the good old days (circa 2008, Drupal 6.3) there was me. Me and my Drupal installations. And not much of a clue about anything. Then I thought, if only I had a WYSIWYG editor, my life would be complete. Then I tried to install one (TinyMCE specifically) and lo!, my nightmares began in earnest.

How is ease of doing business linked with the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code?
In India, lack of resolution of insolvency is one of the significant factors for the failure of credit market in the country. The present legislations governing insolvency are fragmented, multi-layered and the adjudication of insolvency matters take place in multiple forum, resulting in an unpredictable regime.
The Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code has been hailed as an excellent reform for India that will pay a critical role in improving the ease of doing business.
Why does India need a Bankruptcy law?
Currently it takes, on an average, more than 4 years to resolve insolvency in India. The proposed Bankruptcy Code will replace over a century-old archaic insolvency act – The Presidency Towns Insolvency Act, 1909.
- Delays in making decisions on the viability of business.
- Sometimes, company promoters try to delay reorganisation or attempts to sell-off assets or change of management.
- Delays in disposing off cases by Debt Recovery Tribunal.
- Continued litigation at various levels and delays in appellate level.
- Currently, there are 4 different agencies viz. the HC, the Company Law Board, the BIFR and the DRTs that handle insolvency-related cases.
How can a modern law help?
- Speedy closure will help firms on the verge of brink in two ways, i.e. either restructure the firm or sell-off the assets to recover the money.
- It will promote efficient allocation and greater availability of credits for businesses, as it frees up capital.
- Development of financial markets such as bond market, due to clarity on repayment for debtors.
What is the international experience in this regard?
- US Bankruptcy Code provides for fairly quick liquidation or reorganisation of the company.
- In UK, once the cases are filed, then after 12 months, either the part of assets are discharged to pay-off debt or court-appointed administrators handle the case, if company can be turned around.
Was any committee formed to suggest Insolvency reforms?
- The Bankruptcy Law Reform Committee (BLRC) was set up in August, 2014 under the chairmanship of Mr. T.K. Vishwanathan.
- It was the first committee with the mandate of suggesting comprehensive and not incremental reforms.
- The BLRC extensively studied the insolvency regime within India as well as various international jurisdictions.
What was the recommendation of the Committee?
- The committee proposed an all-encompassing law for corporate and individual insolvency, reflecting the best practices from across the globe.
- The corporates should assess the viability of an enterprise in the early stages of insolvency, such that the creditor and the debtors can negotiate a financial arrangement while preserving the economic value of the enterprise.
- However, if the negotiations fail, then the enterprise is liquidated. The insolvency resolution is required to be done within a period of 180 days.
- It also suggested fast track insolvency resolution for certain entities which is required to be completed within 90 days.
What are the provisions of draft Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code?
The code aims to bring modern framework to deal with bankruptcy and insolvency of variety of economic players, including individuals, but excluding financial firms.
- It will restore some power to creditors, both financial and operational.
- It will fast-track mechanism of insolvency resolution process may be applicable to certain categories of entities.
- The corporate insolvency would have to be resolved within a period 180 days, extendable by 90 days.
- It also provides for fast-track resolution of corporate insolvency within 90 days.
- Debt Recovery Tribunals will be adjudicating authority over both individual & unlimited liability partnership firms.
- National Company Law Tribunal will be adjudicating authority with jurisdiction over companies with limited liability.
- It has a clause to provide for insolvency professionals who will specialize in helping sick companies. <These professionals will help revive control the management of distressed firm to revive it>
- It also provides for information utilities that will collate all information about debtors to prevent serial defaulters from misusing the system
- To setup Insolvency and Bankruptcy Board of India to act as a regulator for these utilities and professionals.
- The bill also seeks to establish Insolvency and Bankruptcy Fund of India.
What about Financial Sector Insolvencies?
- FSLRC recommended creation of a resolution corporation to monitor financial firms and intervene before they go bust.
- The aim is to close-down the firms which can't be revived or change their management to protect investors or depositors.
The reform is dubbed as 2nd most important reform after GST, as it will also improve the ease of doing business in India.

Congratulations you just got engaged! Most Brides have approximately one year before they say, "I Do", which means, we need to get to work. Beauty care is essential in the preparation to your Best Day Ever. Between the stress of planning, your future mother in-law (or mom), and celebrations, stress can be a hindrance to our beauty. Don't worry though, because we gathered the best guide to achieving health hair for your Wedding Day.
Lets start with… where you are at, and where you want to go with your hair. The majority of women color and/or use heating tools on their hair. First, make an appointment with your stylist and colorist. Discuss the current state of your hair and create a goal of what you want your hair to look like for your wedding day. You will need to discuss the health condition, color, style you are thinking you would like to wear, in addition to your current length and if you will be needing extensions. We know it is much to discuss, but it will be worth setting up a game plan and set you up for success with your hair care providers.
Begin with using the recommended Shampoo and Condition that will provide the most care to your hair needs; such as strength, color care, or moisturizing. I always teach that weakened hair trumps everything. You must focus on restoring protein (strengthing) back to your hair before you do anything. Hair needs a balance of protein and moisture to be healthy.
Schedule out your hair cuts and color appointments for the year. Think about your agenda and the many events this year will hold, such as: your engagement photos, engagement party, wedding shower, bachelorette party, and of course the WEDDING DAY! Plan accordingly to ensure your hair looks amazing all year long. Getting a healthy trim every 8-10 weeks keeps your ends looking their best. Highlights are scheduled 10-12 weeks with color touchups in-between if you have multi-tonal hair color. I recommend getting your hair colored leading up to your wedding day and schedule your last appointment one week prior to The Big Day.
I always teach that healthy hair is always the trend, and there are many amazing products that you can use at home to maintain and promote healthy hair. Always use a thermal protectant prior to your styling tools. To insure you are giving yourself enough protection, I recommend using a product that is focused on your hair concerns and protects your hair from the blow drier. After your hair is dry and you are finishing your style with an iron, use an additional product that is specifically for thermal protection on dry hair. I find that serums and creams work great on thick coarse hair, while gels and sprays work best on normal to fine hair. Be cautious with the amount of heat you place on your hair since too much can strip moisture and leave hair looking raw and damaged.
Once a week make it a priority to treat yourself. Is this wishful thinking? I recommend a Sunday Funday should be your "Beautify The Bride" day. This is your day to incorporate your deeper treatments to your hair, skin, and well-being. Mask treatments are created in a thicker concentrate of nutrients and come in a variety of formulas to suite your hair type and condition. After you cleanse your hair, squeeze out excessive water, and then apply typically a teaspoon of your mask to your hair. Focus on your ends since this is where most hair is lacking shine and takes the most abuse. Leave mask on for 5-10 minutes for maximum benefits. You can also ask your stylist about in-salon treatments if you need an extra boost of help to get your hair healthy.
If you are thinking about changing up your style as you are in preparation for your wedding, consider doing this earlier in the year. Hair does not need to be past your rib cage to be placed in a beautiful updo, however if your hair is on the shorter side, consider getting extensions. I recommend getting extensions early as well to become familiar with the daily care and change. The same thought process should be with your color, if you are thinking to change your color start early. Do you want to pull a Kim Kardashian, black to blonde and maintain length (please don't)? Be realistic of what you are requesting. Doing this dramatic change could leave you further stressed and your hair too. I would not recommend doing something this dramatic when getting married, although I did cut 6" off seven months prior to my wedding and loved it!
Being a bride is a year to shine and so should your hair and skin. Timeless beauty is what my goal is for every woman. Bring out the best version of you on your wedding day will always be a success. Finding the right person to marry is the tough part and getting beautified shouldn't!

So, here it is, my early Christmas present:
The Blackberry Storm! Thank you to my awesome husband for this delightful gift!
I just received it via the very nice FedEx delivery person. Being that this is, technically, my holiday gift, I cannot (will not!) open it until Christmas morning. The box seal is perfectly in tact so far.
Ok, let's see – that means 6 days. I can wait 6 days….right?

Righting the Ship...Weekly Weight Update
Over the past weeks I have missed my weekly Weight Watchers check-in. Once was out of laziness and once was out of timing. During that three week period I have fallen a bit off the wagon. Not going crazy or anything. I had a few too many meals out at restaurants and maybe (did) have a few too many snacks at the office. So when I hopped on the scale at home on Tuesday morning I was crushed. According to that scale I had packed on 5 lbs since the last time I weighed in.
In past attempts to lose the gut this would be a tipping point. It would be a key moment to give up the ghost and to just start eating again and being lazy. I'd say to myself, "Self, why not just keep eating and being lazy? It's great! You get to eat whatever you want and relax all the time! It's outstanding!" Sage advice from a fat man.
This time I treated it differently. Instead of bumming myself out and going on an even bigger bender I tried to use it as a wakeup call. I wasn't going crazy I was just taking a bit of a break. Rizzo got a spring break after all, why couldn't I get one too? So instead of doing my old throw in the towel routine I decided to buckle it up and get back on track.
So on Tuesday I hit the road hard. I'm running in a 5K race on April 22nd in Charlottesville called The Hard Cider 5K. I've looked at a few pictures of the race and it looks like it will have a lot more hills than I'm used to on my normal running route. So in order to get ready for the hills I took a different route than normal that included some pretty significant hills. I also hit a silly "goal" while I was out running that I describe in this short and very dark video. (Tip: Don't take a selfie video on your phone at night in the dark because you can't see a damn thing).
On Thursday morning I had to drive into DC for a meeting with a client. I hate having to drive into DC. The traffic is horrendous and the parking is even worse but it is something I have to do so I suck it up and do it. I try to take the Metro (subway) whenever it is feasible but sometimes it just doesn't work out.
This meeting was being held at the American University School of Law. It is an impressive building downtown but what I found most interesting was the water fountain. Outside of the bathroom this is what I found:
Good for you, American University! Right next to the water fountain was a station to refill your reusable water bottles with clean, filtered water. I like how this can encourage students, faculty, and visitors to reuse water bottles instead of constantly buying cheap plastic bottle as the 7-11. Just carry a water bottle to save money and help the environment.
Sunday was the dreaded return to Weight Watchers and just as I anticipated the three week hiatus resulted in significant gains. I gained 2.6 pounds over the period which brings the current weight to 207.8 and drops the total weight loss below 60 pounds to 59.6. Like I said at the opening this is a cause to right the ship not to give up completely. At the beginning of the week I was up 5 pounds which I dropped down to just being up 2.6 over the week. The goal over the next two weeks of busy season is to maintain so when the busy hours are over we can get back to losing weight. Stay warm everyone.
We have been in the habit of using an action star/superhero as the weekly Bring It On! challenge picture and this week is no exception. Rizzo has been getting up nearly every morning before 5:00am to train for the Cherry Blossom 10-Miler and today, Sunday April 3, was the big race. While I spent the morning jogging a few miles, lifting a few weights, going to Weight Watchers to get my awful report card, and making pancakes for Cece, Rizzo was on the Metro rail at 5:00am for her race at 7:30am then on the roads of Washington, DC to complete the race.
Rizzo is truly an inspiration to anyone who wants to get in shape. She went from someone that swore she would never run this a 10-miler to considering a registration for a half-marathon. She moved from 3 miles being the goal to 3 miles being a "short" run. She ran in the cold. She ran in the rain. She ran in the dark. She ran and ran and is now running even more. I couldn't be prouder to have my ass handed to me in the Bring It On! challenge.
So now for the results: For the week Rizzo destroyed me yet again 42.1 miles to 39.4 miles. For the month of March, Rizzo crushed my soul 184.5 miles to 165.1 miles. Unfortunately for me, this Sunday is in April so she is already going to have a major head start but maybe, just maybe, I can catch her by the end of the month. Only time will tell. Enjoy your paint night out, Rizzo! You deserve it!
P.S. Here are some bonus pictures of the girls enjoying Easter. Just sharing for your enjoyment.

NCSA Position Statement
Educational Placements
Decisions regarding goals, services, and placements for students with severe autism are governed by the framework of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). Students are entitled to be educated in the least restrictive environment (LRE) "to the maximum extent appropriate…with children who are not disabled." However, where the "nature or severity of the disability is such that education in regular classes with the use of supplementary aids and services cannot be achieved satisfactorily," then "special classes, separate schooling, or other removal of children with disabilities from the regular educational environment" may occur.
To access the LRE, NCSA supports the addition of supplementary aids, training, and services to the regular education environment. For individuals with severe autism, however, it is often necessary to provide, in whole or in part, alternative and specialized programming delivered in environments outside of regular classrooms. For some individuals, needs can only be appropriately met in private, specialized autism schools, residential schools, hospitals, or other alternative settings.
NCSA takes the position that each local educational agency has the obligation to offer a broad spectrum of educational supports and services to meet the unique needs of individuals with autism that are evidence-based, follow best-practice recommendations, and meet individualized goals. Such goals may be non-academic in nature, emphasizing self-help, adaptive skills, and vocational skills – particularly as the child gets older. When insufficient program options exist and/or placement in specialized settings is refused, children with severe autism are denied their fundamental rights to free public education.
Adopted by NCSA Board of Directors December 10, 2018

N-E-W: Retarded Cop
Here is some beautiful poetry about the day to day struggle of being broke. It's taking up where Scary Eire left off back in the 90's with Dole Q.
Retarded Cop was featured as part of the Music Alliance Pact last month representing Ireland, picked by Nialler9 who has been waxing lyrical for a time about R.C's 2xm alter ego Gaz Le Rock.
This is clever, banging pop punk in the best way possible.

First Five Private Lessonsbybbw4youngercocks1©
Paul and his fellow coaches at his wrestling school had begun working with a new batch of students; most of them showing some great potential for the business.
He had also started the valet and managers' program once interest had been shown by many potential students who sought non-wrestling roles. Many of these students were women, though a few of them also wrestled, such as Toni Wade, a well-built beauty from Washington who had come south right out of high school to train and make her dream come true as a star in the world of wrestling.
Toni was good in the ring with her mat skills, but many of the instructors were beginning to complain that when it came to promos and her valet/manager skills, she was stiff as a board. A few of the instructors even said in hushed tones that she 'really stunk,' and maybe should just stick to wrestling, others joking she kept that hot body with those nice big tits of hers, she could even get a deal with Playboy. The men often traded fantasies about the younger females, but never in front of Paul (he'd probably kick their asses if he didn't fire them first), nor did they ever follow through with such fantasies. They all had girlfriends or were married.
One day, when Toni had really blown it in a class, the instructor had gotten fed up. Sexy and an excellent wrestler or not, this chick was about as charismatic as a wet towel. He then went to talk to Paul about Toni to see if he could fit her in with some private instruction; Paul had worked with some students in the past privately in areas where they had been awful and turned out, after quite a few lessons, to be more proficient. The teacher was hoping the same result would occur with Toni.
At only eighteen, Paul knew Toni was one of the youngest students and likely nervous to make a good impression. He checked with his assistant, Julie, and found he had two hours open that afternoon and asked her to send Toni back to see him around that time.
Later at the appointed time, Toni had come into the private instruction/workout room Paul had for such lessons with his students. He told her about how her other instructors had expressed concern about her weak managing and promo skills, and how he wanted to help her get better.
Toni's voice got serious as Paul heard her say, "You know, I'm really not that experienced with the promos and the stuff like that. I want you to teach me how to get better so I don't flunk out and my boyfriend doesn't get pissed off because he spent all that money for nothing."
"Well, for one, you have to be more relaxed in front of the crowd. You need to loosen up more, Toni. Otherwise, you'll cut bad promos and won't be believable as a manager, either."
She licked her lips. "So can you give me some lessons on how to relax now?"
It wasn't lost on him; he already had a different type of 'private lessons' in mind for her as he got up and locked the door so they wouldn't be disturbed. He had been horny for a long time, and getting his son's otherwise also always-horny girlfriend alone for some more hot, raw sex wasn't an option, at least for now.
As for Mary, she hadn't wanted to make love again since the night they had gotten engaged until after the wedding, even though they still shared a bed, and he was climbing the walls with lust…and jacking off wasn't doing it for him anymore.
Which left him with this hot eighteen-year-old with naturally large 38D breasts.
"I hope you don't mind, but you'll need to undress for these ones," he said, his back to her. "Don't worry, I have a fiancée and daughters, so you don't have anything I haven't see before."
Without hesitation, Toni had already stripped off her practice outfit and her thong underneath it, knowing exactly what he wanted--what all men his age usually wanted--and she hadn't had sex with her own boyfriend in some time and assumed he was cheating on her. Besides, she had always fantasized about fucking Paul from the moment she had started training at his school. It had been her biggest fantasy while she masturbated (which was often lately), and now it looked as if it was about to come true!
When Paul had turned back around from locking the door, he saw Toni now fully naked on one of the larger training tables, totally on display for her teacher. Paul then went back over to her, sliding off his own clothes as he approached.
Thrilled that he had also wanted her, Toni slid her hands down his stomach and began to tease his eight-inch cock. One of her hands grabbed his balls, Paul groaning his approval.
Toni continued to caress his balls with her hand, as she began to stroke his huge erection. She started low on the base and worked her hand up to the head, then back down. She slowly, she picked up the pace, pumping her small, soft hand up and down the shaft. Soon, Paul found himself arching his back as Toni picked up her pace and pumped faster and faster. She fondled his balls more vigorously, sometimes squeezing gently, and pulling firmly toward the table. Within a few seconds, his hot seed had sprayed all over, some of it onto her soft hand.
Without saying a word, Toni wiped her hand with a nearby towel, then dipped down and began to clean up the rest his explosion off his cock and balls with her tongue.
"Damn, baby, I'm sorry that happened, but I haven't been with a woman in awhile. By the way, where did you learn to give a hand job like that?" Paul muttered as Toni lay down next to him.
"From lots of heavy petting in the back seat of cars when I started having sex at fourteen," giggled Toni.
"Jesus, whichever guy taught you that, you were a damn fast learner! My fiancée won't even give me a hand job. Of course, she's kind of bashful when it comes to certain parts of sex anyway."
"So what are the lessons that we had to get naked for?" she asked, teasing.
"Never thought you would ask, baby. Okay, it's time for your first lesson on how to relax more. Just lay back, spread your legs, and let me do the rest."
Paul pulled her sexy body tightly against him and could feel her huge breasts pressing against his chest. He brushed back the long blonde hair from face, and began to kiss her softly.
Toni's warm, full lips parted as he gently slid his tongue into her mouth and their tongues began dancing around each other in a sensual, oral ballet. Paul straddled Toni and began to cup her large, firm tits in his hands. He gently squeezed and pulled her breasts toward him, simultaneously bringing his fingers together, ending up at her pink erect nipples each time.
He leaned over and began to circle one of Toni's hard nipples with his tongue as he rolled the other nipple between his thumb and index finger. Toni closed her eyes rocked her head back and forth on the table as her hips began to pulsate beneath him. He slowly slid between Toni's legs and began to grid his raging hard cock against her vagina. Toni's body stiffened as she felt it rubbing against her and she reached down and fondled his dick for a moment. He continued to slide further and further down, kissing and licking Toni's firm, young body as he went.
As Paul's head slid down between her legs, he began to smell the wonderful musky aroma of her young womanhood. He opened his mouth so he could meet her moist lips, and as he touched them, began to lick the outsides of her cunt. As soon as his tongue touched, Toni let out a long moan and he knew she was really getting off. Toni was so hot and wet for him; he was in heaven. He spread the inner lips with his fingers and began to run his tongue up and down her inner lips, up to her clitoris, and then back down.
Toni began to move her hips back and forth as he inserted his tongue into her pussy. He stuck his tongue into her as far as he could and then pulled it back out and slid it back up to her clit.
He began to make small, firm circles around her clit, and as he licked it directly, he felt her entire body jump. He sucked her button between his lips and Toni began to moan. Paul slid his tongue back into her pussy over and over. He then moved it back to her inner folds of her and began to lick faster and faster. He moved back to her clit and sucked it between his lips and gently nibbled it.
Toni's breaths were coming in short pants now and her hips were pulsating up and down on the table. Toni's body stiffened as he began writing the alphabet on her clit with his tongue. Within seconds, he felt her body shudder, her legs began to quiver, and finally, she let out a yelp as she came.
He slid to his knees and rubbed himself up and down the inner lips of her hot snatch. Toni drew her legs against her body as he inched closer to her. He pressed the head of his erection against her clit and rubbed it back and forth for a moment and then he slid into her waiting, tight pussy. Toni was warm and very eager to fuck him.
"I think someone else had been neglected in bed for awhile," he commented as he went deeper into her. "No wonder you've been so tense in the ring out there, baby."
"Mmmmmm," she moaned in response. "Please…fuck me….I want to feel all of your big hard cock inside me…"
"You're on something, aren't you?" he asked.
"Yeah…the pill," Toni moaned, knowing what he meant.
Thank God, he thought. He certainly didn't need the worry of getting Toni pregnant and his figuring out how to explain THAT to Mary.
"That's good, baby. I wouldn't want you in trouble with your boyfriend," he said as he began to fuck Toni.
Paul then put his arms under her knees and pulled her legs back toward her head. Toni was very limber and soon he had her legs pressed back over her head. He feverishly fucked Toni, each stroke getting harder and harder.
Toni began to moan again and he felt her coming. She began to thrust back against Paul with her hips and he increased the rhythm of his strokes to match her pulsation. Soon they were both uttering dirty words as they engaged in hot sex and suddenly, he felt Toni's body quiver again.
"Oh God, Paul, fuck me harder!" she squealed as she began to explode.
"Shit, Toni, I'm getting ready to come!" he also called out, grabbing her ass cheeks and thrusting even harder. Within seconds, Paul let out a loud moan and joined her in orgasm, filling her cunt with his seed.
He lowered her legs and continued to slide in and out of Toni's hot pussy for a few more minutes before pulling out and collapsing on top of her.
"By the way, baby, that was lesson number two," he said as he sat up on the table.
Toni looked at him with a sexy grin and said, "If that was lesson number two, I can't wait for lesson number three."
Paul explained to Toni that her third lesson was her sucking him off. "You've sucked cock before, haven't you?" he asked
Toni nodded, seeming very eager and didn't need to be asked twice. She kneeled down between his legs and swallowed him whole, slowly bringing it back to life using her warm, wet mouth.
Soon, his erection was rock solid. Toni made loud slurping noises, then she began to run her tongue around the head, tracing firm circles from the base of the head like a corkscrew to the tip, and then back down to the starting point, before totally deep throating him.
Not long after, Paul was nearing orgasm again and had Toni slow her assault to prolong the ecstasy. Over and over, he had Toni bring him to the edge, but not quite ready to come.
When he couldn't stand it any longer, he finally shot loads of his semen, and obviously not put off that he had exploded in her mouth, she greedily drank down every drop of the warm liquid he had sprayed into it until the last shot of cum squirted out of him and he went limp.
"Damn, baby, it turns me on when a woman swallows cum," he panted when she finished. "You give one hell of a blow job."
She flipped back her hair. "It's pure protein; it can't hurt anything. Besides, I swallowed my boyfriend's come all the time when we did it."
After they had rested for awhile he asked her, "I want to make sure you really know how to relax, baby. Are you ready for lesson number four?"
"Of course I am," she grinned, knowing she needed to get him hard again first.
Toni took him in her mouth again and began to deep throat him back to life. It didn't take Paul long to regain his erection and this time, once he had pushed Toni's head off his now-hard cock, he rolled her over onto her stomach, her ripe, young rounded ass in the air.
He then put his head down, licking her from the front of her wet slit all the way back to her pink, puckered anus. Toni moaned in appreciation as his tongue worked on her, getting her hotter and wetter for him. He then got some oil out of his bag by the table and rimmed her for a few minutes before applying some of the oil to both his fuck tool and gently sliding a greased finger in and out of her ass, preparing her before he mounted her from behind.
Toni was nervous about what was to happen; she had only had anal sex twice in her short life, and she hadn't enjoyed it either time. Paul sensed she was a little apprehensive, and he rubbed her firm ass cheeks as he gently and gradually slid his cock into her backdoor.
"Just relax, baby," he soothed. "It will be okay."
She wasn't sure if it was the lubrication, Paul's obvious experience in this area of sex, or both, but Toni was amazed that it hadn't hurt this time to have a man take her anally. As she adjusted with him in her ass, he gradually picked up his strokes, bringing around a free hand to rub her clit as he fucked her ass.
"You're so tight and so hot back here, baby," he panted. "God, I love fucking your ass!"
With that, it hadn't taken long for Toni to really get into it from there and she bucked her hips back towards him in time with his strokes, reaching another climax very quickly.
Her orgasm had sent him over the edge; Paul soon followed by depositing a hot load of cum deep into her bowels before slowing pulling out and collapsing back onto the table.
"Oh my God…thanks so much for that! Another thing my fiancée won't let me do is fuck her in the ass," he panted. "And I want to so much."
Third time had been a charm as far as anal sex went; Toni had found she had enjoyed it as much as he did. Maybe she could try it with her boyfriend again sometime…or maybe another guy. Perhaps Paul again another time?
After a few minutes, he reached between her legs and rubbed her clit as he once again grew hard. "So are you ready for your fifth lesson on how to relax, baby?"
She nodded eagerly, wondering what was in store next.
This time, it was her turn to be on top, he said, climbing off the table and then lying on a vinyl mat on the floor, his erection straight in the air, waiting for her.
Her favorite sex position!
Within a few seconds, Toni was quickly on top of Paul, then slowly guiding his very hard cock into her soaked vagina. Toni slowly lowered herself fully onto his shaft. Then, she sat there for a few minutes. She slowly raised herself up to the tip of him, and then slowly lowered herself back down.
Toni slowly continued this as he caressed her breasts and massaged her pink, erect nipples. She slowly increased the tempo to a comfortable pace, but then she stopped and sat on his cock, only moving her hips gently in a circle. Over and over again, she would fuck him, then stop..
After doing this five or six more times, Paul thought he was going to go crazy.
"God, don't tease me like that, baby….ride that monster and show how you can give a good fuck!"
Toni then began to rock her hips back and forth, pressing herself into his hips. She began to pump up and down on his fuck pole at an increasing pace, this time not holding back. He met her downward thrusts with upward thrusts of his own and Toni began to ride him harder.
"God, you are one hot, slutty little bitch," he grunted as she continued to ride him. "If I could, I'd fuck you all day and night long!"
Soon, Paul was close to ejaculation and he could tell that she was also nearing orgasm. He kept massaging her breasts and nipples, and soon she began to shudder. He thrust harder upwards to keep up the pace as she began to lose control. Within seconds, he came again, shooting streams of seed deep into her hot body, and Toni collapsed on top of him, out of breath, her body soaked with sweat.
"Damn baby, for a woman not yet twenty, you really know how to satisfy a man!" he praised. "You may need to learn how to relax, but you got fucking and sucking down real well!"
Then he and Toni lay beside each other on the mat for a long time, cuddling, kissing and caressing each other.
Paul then looked up at the clock and then at her, saying, "It's about time for me to leave and you to get to your next class before someone comes looking for you and wonders why the hell our appointment went over, or worse, my fiancée shows up looking for me." He then got up and began to dress. Toni nodded her head and as she also got up off the mat and put her clothes back on.
Once they had completely dressed, put the mat away and he had wiped the table of all traces of evidence of mixtures of cum and sweat, she turned and asked, "Is there going to be a lesson number six?"
Paul squeezed her sexy ass, smiled and told her, "You can find that out the next time we have a session. See Julie on the way out for another appointment." He then kissed her passionately and left.

PHILADELPHIA - The American University women's basketball team (22-11, 16-2 PL) put up a good second half fight but couldn't overcome an early deficit against Penn (24-6, 12-2 Ivy) and fell to the Quakers in the first round of the WNIT, 64-45.
- Senior Cecily Carl closed her historic career much the same way she played it - at the top of the scoresheet. The 2019 Patriot League Player of the Year and Scholar-Athlete of the Year paced the Eagles with 16 points, shooting 6 for 18 from the field and 4 for 10 from three-point range.
- Patriot League All-Rookie Team honoree Jade Edwards was close behind, scoring 14 points to go along with her nine rebounds to just miss the double-double.
- Senior Elina Koskimies pitched in four assists alongside her three points while classmate Kaitlyn Lewis added a pair of assists.
- The Eagles struggled to connect offensively in the first half, shooting only 25 percent from the field ( and 23.1 percent from the perimeter. They picked up the pace in the final two quarters, though, and closed with 31.5 percent shooting from the floor and 23.8 percent from long range.
- Penn, one of the top-ranked defensive team in Division I this year, closed shooting 41.5 percent (22-53) from the field and had one of its top performances from the perimeter with 42.9 percent (9-21).
- Eleah Parker led the Quakers with the game's only double-double, scoring 16 points while pulling down 17 rebounds. Ashley Russell added a game-high 18 points while Phoebe Sterba rounded out the double-figure scoring with 15 points.
- A slow start put the Eagles on their heels early as the Quakers raced to an early 16-5 lead in the first quarter after a pair of +3:00 scoring droughts stymied AU.
- Penn maintained the tempo in the opening minutes of the second quarter before Carl showed her prowess from the perimeter, hitting three consecutive treys to slow down the Quakers. But the Eagles still entered the locker room with their largest halftime deficit of the season at 38-17.
- American opened the second half with new life, though, hitting its usual rhythm after a quick 7-0 run from Carl and Lewis forced an early Penn timeout.
- The two teams went back-and-forth for the remainder of the quarter as the Eagles cut into the Penn lead to enter the final 10 minutes down 54-35.
- American continued laying on the pressure in the fourth quarter, cutting the gap down to 14 after an early five points from Koskimies and Edwards. But a 6-0 Penn run bumped the margin back to 20 and the Quakers maintained the margin through the final buzzer.

A reduction of federal payments to reduce out-of-pocket costs for low-income individuals purchasing coverage through the ACA health insurance exchanges could result in premiums for silver-level plans being 20% higher in 2018 and 25% higher in 2026, according to estimates in a report by the Congressional Budget Office (CBO). It also is estimated that one million more individuals would be uninsured in 2018, largely as a result of insurers leaving a handful of markets in response to the policy.

Team Sky and Castelli kit: pricing, details and availability
Plus details on Sky's exclusive use of Castelli kit for next three years
After four years working with Rapha, Team Sky announced its new partnership with Castelli clothing back in November, and at this year's Saddleback show, Castelli's UK distributor, we finally got our hands on the new kit and have details on UK and international pricing.
- 2017 highlights from Intense, Castelli, Silca and Alchemy
- From pillows to Pinarellos: Inside Team Sky's marginal-gains world
Sky/Castelli 2017 Team Kit — pricing, details and availability
The Podio is the team's everyday, short sleeve jersey and is what you will see the team spending the majority of its time wearing this season. It's priced at £80 / $102.99 / AU$129.99.
Sky will also be wearing the brand's legendary Gabba 3 jersey this season, coming in slightly over the normal retail price at £180 (US/Australian pricing N/A).
On truly foul days, the team will be donning the long sleeve Perfetto jersey, which in Castelli's own words "is based on last year's Gabba LS and it is basically a stretchy long sleeved soft shell jersey". Sounds cosy to us and is priced at £200 / $256/ AU$334.
The team will also have a choice of two vests this season: the more weatherproof Perfetto vest (£130 / $160 / AU$TBC) and the simply named Pro Light Wind Vest (£85 / $105 / AU$TBC).
If you don't want to go full pro-kit but still want to pledge your allegiance to the #marginalgains cause, you can always indulge in a cheeky Sky branded cotton cap which comes in at £18 / $23.49 / $29.99.
If covering heads isn't your thing and you'd like to 'Sky' up your other extremities, you could always go for a pair of classy Rossa Corsa socks at £17.00 / $19.49 / AU$24.99 or a pair of all-weather Scalda gloves at £60 (US/Australian pricing TBC).
The data-driven design continues at all levels, with the brand's much-loved Prosecco short sleeve baselayer — priced at £65 / $83.99 / AU$107.49.
Saddleback didn't have the much talked about ultra-light climber's jersey to hand, but it will retail at £85.00 (US/Australian pricing N/A).
Likewise, the team's matching Free Aero bib shorts come in at £140 (US/Australian pricing TBC).
Team Sky secures exclusive use of Castelli kit for three years
It has also been revealed that Team Sky's exclusive contract with Castelli extends to the entirety of all WorldTour and ProContinental level cycling teams.
This means that no other team will have access to any developments Castelli and Team Sky develop over the next three years.
Team Sky wanted this exclusivity to run down to Continental level, but Castelli argued that those teams buy its products and don't get any tailored product development, so Team Sky allowed those deals to continue.
The original story about the design process behind the kit and collaboration between Sky and Castelli continues below.
After a four-year partnership with Rapha, Team Sky has announced a new partnership with Castelli clothing at the Rouleur Classic event in London. Beginning in 2017, the partnership is expected to last at least three years.
Retaining the iconic black and blue colours of previous Team Sky kits, the 2017 design features data driven graphics representing some of Team Sky's victories over the past seven seasons. The classic Breton striped shirt served as inspiration for the kit, whilst each line depicts WorldTour (a blue line) and non-WorldTour (a white line) victories. The length of each line depicts the duration of the race victories, from one-day races through to full-width lines representing three-week Grand Tour victories.
The data lines showcased below the chest on the jersey showcase the wins of the 2017 Team Sky squad, with the exception of the lower full-width line paying homage to Bradley Wiggins' Tour de France win in 2012. The data lines of other Team Sky victories will be shown on the socks, bibshorts, mitts and caps of the team kit.
Team Sky team principal, Dave Brailsford, who was instrumental in the data driven design discusses the idea behind the kit, said: "We wanted to find a way of celebrating the success we have had as a team, but also to make sure we keep our mind firmly on the future. As a team, we still have an enormous amount of goals we want to achieve."
The Italian influence
Italian brand Castelli trace their roots back to a Milanese tailor founded in 1876. With a rich sporting heritage, the brand has supported the Milan ballet, as well as football giants AC Milan and Juventus. Moving into cycling in the 1910s, Castelli has been worn by cycling heroes Gino Bartali and Fausto Coppi. Maurizio Castelli introduced the Scorpion trademark in 1974 and was the first person in the brand to see clothing as performance equipment. Cyclingnews understands Castelli were picked by Team Sky from a range of potential suitors.
Speaking to Cyclingnews earlier this week by phone, Steve Smith, Castelli's brand manager, said "it's incredibly satisfying to be picked by Team Sky. We are always pushing our technical innovation and it's really nice to get the recognition." With a potential deal of more than twelve months on the table, Castelli has been working directly with Team Sky's riders and staff to showcase its products throughout this time.
Smith adds "We've consistently been at the forefront of technical clothing progression in the pro peloton. We want to continue this, not only for the advantage of the Team Sky riders, but so that the innovation also reaches the general public." It is expected that many of the new Team Sky X Castelli range will be available to buy in cycling retailers from January.
Brailsford adds, "They will be more than a kit supplier; they will be an innovation partner. Castelli has a long history of breaking new ground when it comes to kit and design."
Team Sky's Italian influence is prominent. The team also recently announced a four-year extension with Italian frame builders Pinarello, whilst also been equipped with Kask helmets and Fizik saddles. Team Sky is renowned for its demands for new product development with its partners. Castelli suggested that it has a number of new products in the pipeline, which will be a direct outcome of the partnership with Team Sky.
"Team Sky's relentless pursuit of results means they expect the maximum from their technical partners. We're looking forward to being pushed," explained Smith. "But the Team Sky internal performance group will be an invaluable resource to help us make sure that every rider has an advantage."
Each athlete will receive 64 different on-bike products as well as "training in how to dress like a pro."

Harsh elements, dangerous creatures, and lethal terrain are just a few of the obstacles the trailblazers and scientists must face- but putting egos aside and working as a team to accomplish each mission may prove to be the ultimate challenge. The stakes are high but the rewards could change the world and science as we know it.

Each hour-long episode of TRAILBLAZERS will follow three elite survivalists as they lead separate teams of scientists through some of the most dangerous regions of the world in the search for clues and discoveries that could lead to scientific breakthroughs. From the largely unexplored island of Papua New Guinea, to the Jurassic Park-like jungles of Bolivia and the volcanic landscapes of Ecuador - Gary Humphrey, Nick Koumalatsos and Shaun Keilen represent some of the most elite trailblazers in the world. With decades of combined survival experience between them- do these trailblazers have what it takes to not only survive the harsh elements, but accomplish their mission while keeping everyone on their team safe?
The quest to expand the boundaries of human knowledge takes scientists to the edges of the Earth where unseen peril lurks around every corner. From the deepest and darkest rainforest jungles to the edges of active volcanos, these men and women are searching for answers to some of the world's greatest scientific mysteries. Out of their labs and into the wilderness, they place their lives into the hands of a brotherhood of elite survivalists who are sworn to keep every expedition safe, risking their lives to ensure everybody makes it in, completes their mission, and gets out alive.

One of the great things about the Tenant Fees Act is that you can save money whether you move home or stay put.
Since June, tenants signing an agreement on a new home in England do not have to pay letting agent fees. (As of yesterday, the ban applies across the UK.)
But there's been less fanfare for the cap on deposits at five weeks' rent, which means that a tenant renewing the agreement on their current home could get a refund if their deposit is worth more than that.Read more
Deposits are behind some of the most common problems we hear about from renters:
The good news is the government is looking at how the deposits system can be improved and is asking for renters' experiences until 5 September. This is your chance to share your experience of deposits and help change the system.Read more
There are now three live government consultations that could help to reshape the private rental market.
One is on reforming tenancy deposits (deadline for responses 2 September), the second is on abolishing Section 21 evictions (deadline 12 October) and the third, announced last Sunday as well, proposes giving tenants access to a government database of criminal landlords.Read more
It's finally here! After announcing in April its intention to abolish Section 21, the government has published its proposals for making this happen.
We've been through the consultation document, which is open for responses until 12 October, and here's a quickish summary of what's in it.
We'll be preparing our own response, but we also want to hear what you think. And most importantly, we're looking at how to make it easy for renters to respond and make sure the government does this right.Read more
The Mayor of London has come out firmly in favour of our campaign to end unfair evictions - and has pushed the government to give him powers to bring in rent controls in the capital.
He was elected in 2016 on a pledge to shake up London's private rented sector, and now, after a long consultation period, Sadiq Khan has unveiled his proposals.Read more
The letting fees ban is great and all, but now fees are out of the way, you still have to scrape together a large deposit before you can move home.
Well, we thought about that - last year we proposed a system where you could transfer part of your deposit to your next tenancy, once you'd done responsible things like pay your final month's rent. We called this deposit passporting.
We couldn't get it into the Tenant Fees Act (which came into force this month), but the government has been looking at it and today announced its support for deposit passporting!Read more
After years of waiting, England's Tenant Fees Ban is finally here. It means that letting agents and landlords won't be able to charge extortionate fees when you move to a new home. Here are the top 6 things you need to know about the ban:Read more
You read that right: before the ban on letting fees has even come into force (this Saturday, folks), letting agents are already flouting existing laws on fees. Since 2015 agents have been supposed to display details of the fees they charge tenants online, but we've found 21 that are not.
Local councils could be collecting £5000 in fines for these offences, so the fact that agents are still getting away with it does not fill us with confidence that the fees ban will be enforced effectively.
Read more
Last month's announcement that the Government intends to abolish section 21 evictions and create open-ended tenancies rightly took the limelight, but alongside it was published the Government response to last summer's longer tenancies consultation. As we all look ahead to the forthcoming reforms that will create a secure, open-ended tenancy, adjust legitimate grounds for eviction, and streamline the court process, it's useful to dig back into the detail of the consultation responses to understand how tenants, landlords, and letting agents understand the barriers to and benefits of longer tenancies.
Here are some key take-aways from the consultation responses which should be borne in mind as the new open-ended tenancy and wider private rental market reforms are shaped.Read more
You've probably heard of Airbnb. But you might not have heard of Flipkey, HomeAway, HomeStay or Hostmaker. The concept stays the same - property owners rent out their house or flat for 'short-term lets', also known as holiday homes. They can be a great solution for covering your rent or mortgage bills for a few weeks whilst you're away or utilising that spare room in your home.
But the problem is that local communities are finding more and more entire properties becoming permanent holiday homes. It's eating up the market of houses that families can call home, and pushing up local rents.Read more

BALLER MOVE: Continue Scouting
ANALYSIS: David Freese is coming off what was basically a lost season for the St. Louis Cardinals, and he will get a new opportunity in 2014 with the offense-riched Angels. It's not exactly clear where in the order he will bat, probably in the 6 to 8 range, but even in that lineup slot he will have ample opportunities oi drive in runs. Freese is currently owned in less than 50% of Yahoo leagues, and while he is by no means a must own, he is someone to keep an eye on early on. Third base is thinner than many fantasy owners may realize, and a couple of injuries could vault Freese into the top 15 territory for 3B this year.
