On April 23, Book Three - Shameless Desire - of my Outlawed Realm series (erotic paranormal) for Samhain releases. Woot!
Here's the cover, blurb and an excerpt from Chapter One to give you a taste of what's to come. Enjoy! :)
Within Earth's five dimensions, nothing is as it seems...and desire is never far away.
In E4's jungle, Kuma was the Alpha werewolf, bent on revenge against the hated guards. Swept with them into the E1 dimension, now he prowls Seattle at night, stopping the thugs from abducting women for use as sex slaves in E4's Pleasure Palace.
On her way home from her nursing job, Gwen senses danger in the night's shadows - an instant before a stranger attacks. Clinging to consciousness, she watches the impossible, a wolf fighting him off...protecting her. She wakes in her own bed, convinced it must have been a dream until she sees Kuma in human form. Virile, intense. A man like no other.
Within his powerful embrace, Gwen experiences rapture she didn't believe existed. His unrestrained lust and burning need end her loneliness, though not the menace they face. The guards are a constant threat in their hunt for women and their determination to see Kuma dead. Together, he and Gwen must fight - for his life, her freedom, their future.
Out-of-this-world sex and a romance to die for. Features a hunk whose inner beast won't be tamed, and the woman who craves his most shameless desire.
The drizzle turned to a steady rain. Great.
Good sense and a crappy day in the ER told Gwen Lalani to quicken her pace, putting as much distance as she could between herself and the hospital. Although she'd handled her usual share of trauma these past days, what had happened last week continued to haunt her.
Behind the curtain that night, Gwen had expected to see a guy who was pretty messed up, given what the emergency personnel had said. Still, she had gaped at what was left of a man who'd been attacked either by someone who was a lunatic or in a drug frenzy. The victim's face, hands and feet were gone, the ragged edges telling her someone had actually gnawed them off.
God. Gwen had seen a lot in the ER. However, the brutality of the attack shocked the shit out of her. Two of the new residents witnessed her reaction. Quick as could be, those guys were gossiping like schoolgirls, telling their peers and anyone who would listen that they'd been afraid she'd pass out. After all, she was a mere RN. No way could they expect her to react to blood and gore as a doctor or a guy would.
Uh-huh. Gwen knew exactly how males behaved. It had never been pretty.
In middle school, she'd been taller than most of the boys, which didn't sit well with them, so they resorted to bullying. In high school, she wasn't purebred enough for any ethnic group. Her Hawaiian, Hispanic, Caucasian and black ancestry made her the ultimate outcast. The few boys who'd asked her out wanted sex, not a relationship. No surprise, except they didn't even try to sugarcoat their demands with the I-love-you lie.
At twenty-seven, she wasn't finding her male coworkers any better.
She blew out a sigh, hating herself for letting them and the memory of that dead guy get to her…and for allowing that other man to see it. Pausing beneath one of the trees in the parking lot, she looked back without meaning to, half expecting him to be there still, watching her.
The spot where he'd been was empty. Rain shimmered in the halo of light.
A sense of loss, or was it disappointment, rolled through Gwen. For a stranger no less. She frowned at her ridiculous reaction but couldn't stop from glancing to the left, the right, somehow still feeling his presence and male heat.
He was a hard man not to notice, even more difficult to forget.
From her brief glimpse of him, Gwen gauged his height to be six-three. He appeared to be in his early thirties, his body in superb physical condition, lean and muscular, his skin bronzed. Like a freaking Greek god.
Shivers of delight coursed through her at the thought of running her hands over the hard planes of his body, loitering on all the best parts, pressing her face into the hollow of his neck, smelling his skin and dark brown hair. He wore it combed back, the ends reaching his shoulders, no different from a pirate in a romance novel or a sheik from a Middle-Eastern country. So damn virile, no one would ever accuse him of being the boy next door.
A smile tugged at the corners of her mouth. Her breath fogged in the increasingly chilly night even as the rest of her grew fevered. She recalled his strong, masculine features and beautiful eyes. So light they had to be gray, their color nearly silver in the twilight that surrounded him. Arresting. Arousing.
The same as his smile.
A smile like that could brighten a woman's world on a dreary evening like this. It could thrill and comfort, the same as his big body and musky male scent. With his hands around her wrists, he'd settle down on top of her, his weight deliciously confining, their faces close enough for him to capture her mouth for a kiss.
He wouldn't. Instead, he'd gaze at her while he stroked her palms with his thumbs. Tender foreplay to lull her into complacency. To prepare her for the wanton act to come. His cock would grow stiff between her legs. Her pussy would already be moist with her desire for him. He'd enter her slowly, recording her reaction as he stretched and filled her with his thick rod. He wouldn't stop until their curls touched and she had no possibility of escape.
Not that she'd try.
She'd yield without hesitation, sheltering his body with hers, drowning in his lust.
Nice. And not at all unrealistic given the glimmer of desire she'd caught on his face. She wasn't a beauty, nor was she girly, but for a moment, he'd seemed to want her.
He was surely a man who knew how to please a woman. Possibly several at once. What had he been doing here tonight? Where had he gone?
Like a damn fool, she continued to scan the lot for him. Moisture sparkled on the roofs and hoods of numerous vehicles. A blast of wind sent the rain slashing sideways. Jeez. The clammy cold drove away her fantasy's comforting glow faster than his absence. Despite their momentary connection, she'd never see him again.
Time to get a grip and go home.
She darted through the lot, her teeth chattering and not only from the temperature. A sudden, inexplicable sense of dread gripped Gwen. Once more, she paused and glanced around. The area was empty of pedestrians, everyone else already inside the hospital or driving away. Leaving her alone. Unprotected. Vulnerable.
Right. In a few more seconds, the creepy theme from that old movie Halloween would play in her mind. Best to stop this idiotic nonsense. She was a big girl, could take care of herself and didn't let shit worry her. Like the recent rash of missing women in the Seattle area, their bodies not yet found.
They were all young, petite, attractive. The news reports had likened their disappearances to when Ted Bundy lived here in the seventies and made the city his personal killing field, offing women without detection.
Headlights pierced the darkness, accentuating the rain. Gwen squinted at the brightness. For one wild moment, she wondered if its driver was the hot guy she'd seen earlier…or the unknown killer. Her pulse kicked up several notches. She imagined the maniac being so desperate for a victim he had settled on her, planning to force her inside his vehicle, taking her to God-knew-where to do God-knew-what.
Fearing the worst, she stepped back.
The car turned left and moved past, its occupants not bothering to glance her way before the vehicle disappeared into the night.
She wasn't alone.
The thought startled Gwen even as she tried to dismiss it. The hairs on her arms rose up. Something was wrong.
What? Other than the obvious—that she couldn't afford a car or to live in the suburbs.
Frowning, she gripped her pepper spray even harder and continued across the lot to the surrounding neighborhood, a combination of inner city and working class that had seen better times. Failed attempts at gentrification had resulted in islands of beautiful two- and-three-story historic homes surrounded by blight, trash, weeds.
She hurried past the first vacant lot as quickly as she could, telling herself tonight was no different from any other. No one was after her. She wasn't a psycho's type, being too tall and not at all helpless. Hadn't one of the residents said it very well last week when he'd jokingly referred to her as a ball buster for teaching those self-defense classes at the hospital? You bet he had. Her kind of woman wasn't on most guys' radar, especially those looking for an easy target.
Besides, she didn't have all that far to walk and would get home safely.
Moisture rolled down her cheeks and throat. If the weather deteriorated any further, her hoodie would soon be soaked through. Huffing from her pace, she approached the street corner. The signal was red; the sign warning her not to cross. In both directions, the road was empty. Its wet surface gleamed in the available light.
Wind whisked around an abandoned confectionary, buffeting Gwen. She shivered and turned down the street, deciding to take a shortcut through an alley in the distance. From behind, a car approached. Glancing over, she saw it move down the main thoroughfare rather than turning in her direction.
Her running shoes made slapping noises against the damp pavement, the sounds obtrusive, not seeming to belong. Leaves rustled above her, the dying ones torn free by the wind. The bass of an unknown song thumped from a nearby brick building, its curtainless upper windows amber with light. A young boy with wavy black hair and dusky skin blew on the glass, fogging it, and then he drew a series of letters with his forefinger.
Gwen reached the vacant lot that cut from this street to the next, one over from her own. Just a bit farther to go. She'd be all right. No one was around. No one was following her.
Needing to be certain, she continued to glance back. There was nothing except darkness interrupted infrequently by dated streetlamps, their crumbling concrete facades matching the pockmarked sidewalks. Empty bags of Lay's potato chips, Cheetos and other fast food littered the area, the cellophane crackling beneath her shoes.
With one hand around her pepper spray and the other clutching her house key, she entered the alley. Debris skittered down it, carried by the wind, the sickly sweet stink of garbage less noticeable in the brisk breeze. Yards ahead, half the length of a football field, was her street, a wall of murkiness separating her from it. Craning her neck, Gwen glanced at the many windows facing the alley, most boarded up. The ones that weren't were dark.
Go on. She'd walked this route last night and countless times before that. The only hassle she'd faced were stray dogs crouching in the gloom, growling at her intrusion into their territory.
Tonight, even they were gone. For the first time ever, Gwen missed them. She knew she could easily frighten animals. Men, on the other hand… There might be a fight.
Again, she sensed someone watching, following.
Sudden outrage rather than fear pumped through Gwen. Halfway down the alley, she halted and turned, ready to rumble, show the jerk some of her martial arts moves.
No one was behind her.
She listened and heard nothing. Certainly not heavy breathing, except for her own.
Renewed apprehension cut through her aggravation. Gwen pivoted, ready to run the remaining distance. A faint whooshing noise interrupted her panting and the other night sounds. Before she could identify it, something hit her neck, stinging her skin.
Jesus, had someone shot her, with a fucking silencer no less?
Her hand flew up, then stalled not on blood but something else. What the hell?
What felt like a small dart had pierced the side of her throat unprotected by her hoodie. Where in the crap had something like that come from? Suddenly, her limbs went numb. Her hand dropped from her neck before she could remove the dart.
Down Gwen went, her legs unable to support her weight, her knees hitting the broken asphalt. She heard the crack of her bones, but the pain didn't register, blunted by whatever flowed through her. A tranquilizer, she guessed. Although she tried to remain kneeling, her efforts didn't last. She fell to her side even as her mind kept screamingrun.
Too late. Out of the shadows he came. A man she'd never seen before, hadn't noticed, his build bruising with a thick neck, burly shoulders and arms. In the light bleeding from her street, Gwen could see his eyes were a light brown, his hair curly and black, his features and complexion not quite African-American or Indian but a mixture of races, the same as her.
He grabbed her arm.
She fought to pull away, but her body refused to work. Helpless, she screamed, or tried; only a croak escaped.
Grunting, he put his hand over her mouth, his fingers clamped so tight Gwen couldn't bite him. Raw terror tore through her even as her lethargy increased. Was he going to rape her? Kill her? Both? Oh God, oh God, oh God. Her thoughts went in all directions, most of them bad, fueled by adrenaline. She pictured him slitting her throat once he'd finished his sexual assault, leaving her to bleed to death in a trash bin or an abandoned building, her body concealed so well it would be difficult to find.
Aw shit. Her life couldn't end like this. No fucking way. She had to fight. Come on, dammit. Do it.
She tried so hard to move, her body broke out in a cold sweat. Perspiration mingled with the moisture on her face, stinging her eyes. Despite her efforts, Gwen couldn't wag one finger. Lifting her arms was as impossible as flapping them and taking flight. Remaining conscious became an effort.
With too much ease, the man dragged her down the alley. Her clothes rasped against the rough surface. Her shoes bounced. Tat-tat-tat, her rubber heels went. Tat—
What's that? Even in her drugged state, Gwen felt a deeper blast of cold to the left of them and heard a sucking sound that resembled a vacuum. Was it a vent? Leading to where? Why hadn't she heard it all the times before when she'd taken this route? Why—
What in the holy hell is that?
She listened, hearing another low, menacing growl.
The man stopped at the noise, then hurriedly pulled her toward the intense cold.
The growl deepened, growing louder. Closer.
The man muttered something in a language she'd never heard, couldn't possibly understand. From the right came a snarl, followed by an animal bounding into the air, hitting the man square in his chest.
His hands dropped away from Gwen. She sagged to the asphalt, straining to remain conscious, gaping at the animal attacking the man. Not one of the stray dogs she'd seen here before. It was larger, more dangerous, looking like a goddamned wolf.
Teeth bared and bloody, it tore at the man's face, cutting off his scream. Gwen heard his neck bones snap. Unable to keep her eyes open any longer, she allowed her lids to slip down, not wanting to witness the attack, terrified of what the wolf—or whatever the hell it was—would do to her when it finished with the man.
Rain tapped her face. Each breath was a prolonged battle. She wanted to run. She would have given a year of her life to be able to scream.
Quiet. She noticed it suddenly…the utter stillness of the night. How much time had passed? Was she still alive? Had she died and gone to some weirdo version of hell?
Her mouth fell open, but no sound escaped as someone strong lifted her up. A guy, surely. A cop who'd happened upon this nightmare? A Good Samaritan? Had she lost consciousness without realizing it? Where had the wolf gone? Where was this guy taking her?
Gwen's hands flopped helplessly as he slung her over his shoulder, his forearm firm across the back of her thighs. With quick steps, he moved down the alley.

Huskies Insider Blog
Price needs to be fixed, not abandoned
Let's start here:
Any thought, no matter how brief, of replacing Keith Price prior to the game being out of hand late in the fourth quarter is ludicrous.
Backup Quarterback Syndrome is a brutal sickness. It infects even the most well-intentioned. It spreads quickly, turns the pragmatic crazed and is hard to remedy.
Steve Sarkisian was asked Monday if there was any consideration to sitting Price.
"That's a crazy thought," Sarkisian said. "Keith Price is our quarterback."
This is one of the unfortunate results of the public not being able to see Washington practices. If they could, they'd know that no other quarterback on the team is near ready to enter the game. Not to mention Price set the school's single-season touchdown and completion percentage records last year.
His massive recent problems, 10 turnovers in three games, are concerning. Sarkisian said after the Arizona game that the trust between him and Price had declined, with the distrust in the system and call coming from Price's end.
Sarkisian said he would spend the flight home from Arizona trying to figure out the disconnect. Here's what he said Monday about it:
"I think that ... He's trying really hard, you know? He's an ultra-competitive kid. And I really appreciate that about him. He wants to be so right, that, in the end, as human beings, the person you trust the most is yourself. The person you lean on the most is yourself. I think at times he's trying to just rely on him right now to figure it out. My point to him is, I wouldn't do anything ever to put him in a situation where I think he wouldn't be successful in being. So my goal is that he believes in me and in my ability to prepare him, to put together a game plan and to call plays that he can execute and execute at a high level. And if they don't work I'll be the first to tell him that, 'Hey, Keith, that's my fault.' I just want him to believe in me as much as he's believing in himself."
Then Sarkisian was asked why he thought the trust has evaporated.
"I don't know if it evaporated. It's lessened. I think we went through a run about the midpoint of last season that it wasn't great, either, you know. Yet we found a way to re-energize it and close out the season really well. I think we've dealt with some things on our roster this year that could have potentially started that trust to diminish in what's going on around him. But I believe in the way I coach that position. I believe in Keith's ability to play that position. And we'll get it back. I just want to get it back sooner rather than later."
Sarkisian was, of course, a quarterback himself. He's felt the same way Price does.
"I felt like I think like Keith felt: I want to make sure about the call, rather than, 'I'm not so sure' -- I want to make sure. In turn, what happens, you are trying to see guys get open rather than anticipate them getting open. That's the biggest issue with it, to me. I think that we've all gone through it. The greatest quarterbacks have all gone through it sometimes. And the best ones have found a way out of it. And I believe Keith will, because he's a really good player."
And, finally, what a lack of belief does to a quarterback.
"You can be late with the ball. The rush can get there because you are holding onto the ball longer. The windows close faster, so throws that shouldn't be contested become more contested. Your ability to trust in your play makers to make plays when they are in one-on-one settings isn't quite as high. All of those things start to factor in. You don't throw the ball maybe with the same amount of zip and velocity and conviction that you had in the past. And when you add all that up, that's not great. So I'd like to think we can get a game plan together this week for Keith, one that he believes in, that allows him to do the things that he does really, really well -- as well as the other 10 players that are on the field with him. That gives us a team the best chance to win."
So, that's where they stand right now. We'll talk to Price on Wednesday.

Parent and subsidiary companies fail to keep their offline and online communications consistent
The feature
Mercier Champagne, based in Epernay, France, offers a charming train tour of its impressive caves (cellars), which we were lucky enough to experience recently. The audio guide talks about the brand's sustainability efforts, including the reduction of herbicides and pesticides through the use of natural alternatives, such as bugs. It also references its parent brand LVMH's commitment to sustainability.
The Mercier website does not evidence the sustainable activities, even on the page dedicated to the tour , nor does it link to the LVMH website. The Mercier page on that site is engaging, but also fails to mention sustainability – and the main area of LVMH's site dedicated to social and environmental responsibility is sparse too.
The takeaway
We often encounter organizations which fail to ensure that the messages on their global corporate and brand or subsidiary sites match up. In this case the sites themselves are not linked together well either – at least from the subsidiary to the parent site.
It is also important that offline and online communications are joined up. When they are not, the impact of messaging is diminished, and inconsistency can undermine authenticity. In our experience, governance is often at the heart of such problems: digital managers and teams must not be in a silo.

Love is in the air, especially for Robin Hood, whose tale evolved over the years from that of a champion for the middle-class to one of noble grace and romance. What's more romantic, after all, than a walk through the lost woods of Sherwood Forest? And Maid Marian, whether she's an independent noblewoman or a ward of the state, seems hand-picked for Robin courting ways – especially when Robin is a man, and often a disenfranchised noble to boot (funny how these things work out).
In Nocked, Robin's background and gender are not fixed, and neither are his or her romantic prospects. In fact, there are nine romanceable characters in the game, though you'd have to play through multiple times to see them all. In the true spirit of the Robin Hood tales, finding a partner is no easy feat, and demands both courtship and compromise from the characters involved.
That's okay, because if romance is hard, it was even harder to write! Each romance had to develop at its own pace; had to be different and offer a unique in-game benefit; and had to have a balance of power (whether you're the courter or the courted) that's the hallmark of a strong relationship. Lastly, each romance had to be entirely optional, and to have an out – a situation where you or your intended could call the whole thing off.
I'd like to think I did it justice, and I hope you have fun – be it picking flowers for Marian, exchanging letters with Will Scarlet, or taking your chances with one of the other lovelorn outlaws of Sherwood Forest.
The Continuing Adventures of Development Robin
Your choices will decide Robin's fate each week.
Results from the previous adventure:
Who was the Mystery Woodsman?
Part 8 - What are we going to do tonight, Robin?
You handily defeat the woodsman, who just happens to be good with a bow. Now that you're the best archer in the land, it's time to begin laying plans for the Sheriff's defeat.
The same thing we do every night, Little John...
- The Sheriff loves dressing up. I hold a masquerade ball.
- Dark Marian loves ponies. I host the fifth annual "Best Shetland pony" contest.
- Free tours of the treasury! I set Little John up with an ambush.
- These plans are ridiculous! I travel to France to get some perspective.
The Adventures of Development Robin are complete. Follow the story in subsequent blogs, or read the most recent blog to take part in our new adventure, Marian and the Sheriff, beginning July 26th!
This is the Nocked! True Tales of Robin Hood development blog. Every week I'll discuss some aspect of the game's development, show off some art, and give you the opportunity to create an entirely new Robin Hood story. And be sure to check out the butler's take on the Sheriff of Nottingham, nearly every weekday @ManOfNottingham.

This is an interesting concept. It combines andragogical learning theory (that's learning for adults), with online education, the power of visualization and social networking to help people lose weight. Folks who are really into the virtual worlds like Second Life often develop an affinity with their avatars, and this weight-loss program harnesses the power of that to help people improve their lives. Most people create impossibly attractive avatars; this program helps people look more like their avatars in real life.
According to the Club One Island is, "a digital world...a playground...a 12-week program...[and] an effective way to lose weight." Here are the statistics so far on this fairly new concept, and some "success stories," videos.
It's a bit pricey, but if you're shopping around for gym memberships, this one might be an alternative to at least consider. Just like the Wii is trying to shatter the stereotype that computer games make families fat, this type of program could soon challenge the notion that social networking is bad for one's health.

|Colors from L to R: Golden Jubilee, Amazon Moss, Golden Oasis, Tropical Garden, Papaya Punchy, Kaki Voyageur
Verdict: The colors in this palette look absolutely gorgeous however I was a little disappointed with the color payoff. The first two colors in the palette (Golden Jubilee & Amazon Moss) barely showed up on my skin and the purple color (Tropical Garden) applied too darkly. I did however love the last 3 colors. The dark gold and green were lovely and the matte coral was a unique shade. I am definitely on the fence with this palette because of its high price tag I would recommend skipping especially since only half of the palette was a hit.

CMS suspensions hit record low, while drugs and weapons tick up
Suspensions in Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools dropped to a record low last school year, which officials attribute to a push to keep students in school after minor offenses.
The goal, they say, is offering constructive alternatives for students who mouth off or scuffle, while drawing a hard line against dangerous behavior. A report presented Thursday morning to the N.C. Board of Education indicates mixed results.
In 2014-15, CMS saw possession of drugs and weapons, sexual misbehavior by students and assaults on school staff rise over the previous school year. But the number of criminal and violent acts reported in CMS remained well below those in 2008-12, when the district saw such incidents soar. And serious student-on-student violence fell to a 10-year low.
The state requires all public schools to report 16 types of criminal and violent acts. In CMS and across the state, possession of drugs and weapons other than guns accounts for more than 70 percent of all episodes. Assaults on school personnel, which can range from serious attacks to a push in the hallway, and alcohol possession run third and fourth, with everything else accounting for less than 5 percent of offenses.
The state calculates a ratio of criminal and violent acts in high schools, where most such offenses take place. CMS' rate of 15.3 acts per 1,000 high school students tops the state average (13.2) and levels for Wake (12.5) and Guilford (14.8), the state's other large districts.
Latasha Smith, the CMS administrator in charge of discipline, noted that crime and violence rose in Charlotte last year.
"We're seeing the same things in society that mirrors what we're seeing in schools," Smith said.
Lower rates at charter schools
Charter schools, which are public schools run by independent boards, reported a much lower rate of criminal and violent incidents. An Observer tally of incidents for 31 charter schools in and near Mecklenburg County showed an overall rate of 2.6 per 1,000 students, a tally that includes younger students.
In charters and in CMS, rates varied by school. Several charter and CMS schools reported no incidents last school year, while others had high rates. In small schools, a few incidents can spike the rates.
CMS logged extremely high crime/violence rates at three small special schools. Lincoln Heights and Metro schools serve students with severe disabilities, and most of their incidents involved assaults on school staff. Turning Point Academy is an alternative school for students with serious disciplinary issues; most of its incidents involved possession of drugs or alcohol.
Reducing disparities
For several years, CMS has been trying to reduce out-of-school suspensions.
In 2011-12, CMS was logging almost 50 short-term suspensions per 1,000 high school students, compared with a state average of 30. The latest CMS rate was down to 21.3 per 1,000 – still well above the state average (19.5) and Wake (10.4) and Guilford (13.3), but less than half the rate of three years earlier.
Not only does sending students home set them back academically, but local and national data show that black students – especially males – get suspended at disproportionate rates for what educators call "discretionary offenses." Those are actions that involve a faculty judgment call and don't create danger at school, things such as insubordination, failure to follow rules, and arguments or minor scuffles between students.
Smith and CMS Chief Accountability Officer Frank Barnes said the district has been training staff – not just teachers but others who deal with students, such as bus drivers – in techniques for talking to students in ways that calm them, rather than escalating a conflict or emotional outburst.
Schools are trying alternatives to suspension. For instance, Barnes and Smith said, a student disrupting class might be removed from the room but kept in school to work in another location. Students caught fighting might be referred to a class in anger management, along with their parents. Getting families involved in solutions is crucial, CMS officials said, because many of the problems at school come from homes and neighborhoods.
This school year, the district is working with the International Institute for Restorative Practices on a five-school trial program in problem-solving techniques. Faculty at Vance High, Martin and King middle schools, Morehead STEM Academy (a K-8 magnet school) and Hidden Valley Elementary are learning tactics such as restorative circles, in which students causing problems talk with the people affected by them, with everyone taking responsibility for solutions.
For instance, Smith said, a student who is frequently disruptive might hear from classmates for whom he makes it harder for them to finish their work, leaving them with more homework.
No free pass, no panacea
CMS reported 22,196 short-term suspensions last school year, down from 24,121 the year before. Suspensions of up to 10 days account for the vast majority of disciplinary actions across the state, and the state total rose slightly last year.
Long-term suspensions in CMS rose from eight to 46, which officials cite as a sign that they're not giving students a break on major infractions. Those suspensions, which can include assignment to an alternative school, are reserved for the most serious offenses.
"While we're here to support you, to educate you and to care for you, there are consequences," Smith said.
Expulsion is rare across North Carolina, with 42 students expelled statewide. Two were from CMS.
"An expulsion is usually reserved for cases where the student is at least 14 years of age and presents a clear threat of danger to self or others," the state report said. "The acts do not have to occur on school premises for the superintendent and/or school board to expel a student."
The drop in short-term suspensions means students spent more time in school, at a time when enrollment continued to grow and graduation rates hit a record high.
But it didn't eliminate the racial disparity. Black students, who accounted for 40 percent of CMS enrollment last school year, received 79 percent of the short-term suspensions, up slightly from 77 percent the year before.
Across the state, black students, males and ninth-graders were the most likely to be suspended.

Most troubled schools
Here are schools in CMS with the highest number of criminal or violent incidents in 2014-15, calculated per 1,000 students. Because many schools have fewer than 1,000 students, the rate might be higher than the number of incidents. Lincoln Heights, Turning Point and Metro are small schools for students with disabilities or behavior issues.

Yefet's interpretation of Abraham's cycle establishes him as a highly original commentator and provides new insights into the history of exegesis of the book of Genesis. The edition is preceded by a comprehensive study of Yefet's hermeneutic approach, in comparison to other medieval commentaries on Scripture.

The study also includes an overall survey of earlier and contemporary Karaite commentaries on this book.

Merck & Co. Inc. has announced that because of a continuing manufacturing issue, its shortage of pediatric hepatitis B (HepB) recombinant vaccine (Recombivax HB) will continue through the rest of 2018.
On its Current Vaccine Shortages & Delays webpage,(www.cdc.gov) the CDC said GlaxoSmithKline will mitigate the shortage of pediatric HepB vaccines with supply to meet full demand in the United States.
GSK will do so using its monovalent pediatric HepB vaccine (Engerix-B Pediatric) and its diphtheria, tetanus toxoids and acellular pertussis (DTaP); HepB; and inactivated polio vaccine (IPV) pediatric combination vaccine (Pediarix).
Merck hasn't distributed its pediatric HepB vaccine since mid-2017 and has informed the CDC that it will have only a limited supply available for the rest of the year.
The combined supply from the two manufacturers should account for about 90 percent of the amount of monovalent pediatric HepB vaccine normally available for the rest of 2018, said the CDC.

Monarch School
Monarch has served San Diego for nearly three decades, beginning as a one-room education center and expanding into a K-12 comprehensive school designed to educate homeless youth.
There are more than 1.2 million homeless students across the country and 23,000 in San Diego County alone. Research shows homelessness contributes to a wide range of challenges including physical and psychological problems, safety fears and academic struggles. It's estimated that 75% of homeless students do not receive a high school diploma. The barriers these students face, hinder their ability to become contributing, successful members of their families and society and place them at a high risk of becoming tomorrow's homeless adults.
At Monarch, we give students the skills and tools they need to overcome these odds.
Generate Hope
GenerateHope was founded in 2009, born from a desire to provide trauma care services to a very underserved local population, the founding members of GenerateHope soon came to realize there is a great need for comprehensive healing for women who have survived the horrors of being trafficked and sold for sex. This is an American epidemic.
GenerateHope is a safe place for survivors of sex trafficking to heal and find restoration in long-term housing and trauma-informed therapy, education, and vocational support. Since recovery from sexual exploitation is a long-term process, GenerateHope provides safety, community, and individualized life skills support to work through the deep trauma and discover a healthy, purpose-filled life.
Homeless Empowerment Through Art & Leadership (HEAL)
HEAL is a 501c3 nonprofit that provides opportunities for creative self-expression and personal growth for individuals experiencing homelessness in San Diego.
HEAL's Mobile Art Studio travels into homeless communities to meet the artists where they are and establish an open, non-judgmental environment. By being mobile we are in a unique position to serve more individuals by lowering barriers for participation such as navigating public transportation. We can also keep our operational costs low by not paying for a brick and mortar location.
In addition to HEAL's ongoing art programs, we participate in special events. These are opportunities to display and sell the artwork in shows or provide an art space during collaborative events. These are exciting ways for us to spread awareness and serve the community in new ways. Art sales give the artists the ability to earn an income through their hard work, as well as helping to confirm their talent, self-worth, and ability to contribute to their community in a meaningful way.

Hi Kelly! Thanks so much for being a part of the McDonald's rebranding initiative. Like we spoke about on the phone, we want to bring Ronald McDonald's into the 21st century. He should appeal to millennials and post-millennials alike, so don't be afraid to get creative and really let loose with your design. We want McDonald's to feel hip and young. Think EDM, Twitter, even Grindr – nothing's too out there. Let your freak flag fly!
Hi Kelly! So we just looked over your preliminary sketches and it looks like you just drew Ronald McDonald with a pair of sunglasses and a brand-ambiguous smart phone. Seriously, don't worry about going too far – this is a 21st century McDonald's. Think EDM, Twitter, even Grindr – really go for it. Thanks Kelly!
Hi Kelly! Just saw your revised sketches – looking great! We love your "Ru Paul as a Man" Ronald concept – it totally read. The trendy eyeglasses, the sharp suit – all of that works. But really push it, Kelly. This is the next generation of McDonald's. Maybe incorporate something to do with EDM, Twitter, or even Grindr. Get creative with it! Thanks Kel!
Kelly! These new sketches are great. Ronald McDonald kissing another man is exactly what we want for the new Ronald McDonald – thanks for thinking outside the box on that one. One thing I thought about at lunch – why are we calling him Ronald? Maybe there's a more millenial-friendly name we can use. Skyler? Dustin? Please feel free to explore further.
One quick thing – Legal is worried that gay kissing isn't family friendly – can we maybe tone it down to gay holding hands? Also, why is Ronald African American? We're trying to avoid "race" issues. Please adjust and then get back to me.
Kelly, these sketches are phenomenal. I really think we're close. Skyler McDonald is looking very on fleek – I couId totally see myself running into him at a gay pride parade ;) I love the "#McDonalds" on his tank top, too. So bae.
One thing I'm worried about is that we're losing the "Skyler-ness" of it – it feels too cluttered. Let's simplify and lose some things and re-double our focus on the brand. If that's a little unclear, feel free to play around with it. Thanks Kel!
Hi there Kelly! Yes. This. Is. Everything. I think we're only two or three or maybe even four revisions away. I love how buff Skyler is looking – it's Chris Pratt meets RDJ! A thought I had at LA Fitness this morning is that maybe we're not being female-inclusive – why does Skyler have to be gay? Yes, there's literally nothing "gay" about Skyler right now, other than his insanely faggy voice I'm imagining, but I can't help but feel that 2015 is the Year of Women, you know? Think Bridesmaids and Amy Schumer with this next one, but more fit and athletic, obviously.
Kelly! I feel like we're on two different pages. Skyler McDonald is not working for me. She's definitely sexy as all hell, but I feel like we're way off target on the original mission statement of appealing to millennials. Let's get her out of that sexy cocktail dress and into a sexy clown outfit, like Harley Quinn in the Suicide Squad movie. But keep in mind she needs to be funny and relatable while still being fit and athletic. Let's give her a solid improv background at one of the major theaters. Sound cool?
Kelly, I'm sorry for being all over the place, but I feel like you're not listening to me. Who is Skyler McDonald at her core? Answer: she's a millenial. She's who she is and she's not afraid to be fierce. She's not a woman - she's a man. Why won't you let her be the gender that she feels on the inside? I'm frankly offended you could be this transphobic in the year 2015. Please tweet an apology and get back to me with the latest revision.
Kelly, I saw the new Skyler McDonald and I can't even! This has all the feels. That's what I'm gonna say to you in one more revision. The sunglasses have to go, as does the iPhone, unfortunately – props to Legal for pointing out that we can't have another company's product and logo in our advertisements. Why are we married to the name Skyler again? Let's get even more millenial with it. Think outside the box ;)
Kelly, I'm afraid we're going to have to let you go. Your transphobic depictions of Ronald McDonald are all over Gawker, and the comment section is calling for blood. Frankly, I agree with them. It's amazing in the year 2015 you'd be so entrenched in your own white privilege that you'd draw Yet Another Straight White Man as Ronald McDonald. That's not what McDonald's is about. When I leaked your drawings, I couldn't have imagined it would lead to you losing your freelance job. But the outpouring of outrage on Tumblr makes me positive that I'm doing the right thing. I'd wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors, but I don't want to empower a hateful bigot like yourself. Get bent, Kelly. Get bent for good.

Crude oil rallied today with the help of renewed hope for a deal to freeze production. Iran remains a big obstacle as the country desires to ramp up its output to the level it reached before international sanctions. Yet if some sort of agreement could be achieved, it would mean that talks about additional measures to support prices may follow.
Meanwhile, traders wait for US supply reports due to release on Wednesday and Thursday. Analysts have estimated ahead of the data that US oil stockpiles expanded 3.9 million barrels last week.
March contract for delivery of WTI crude oil advanced 1.89 percent to $29.59 per barrel as of 12:59 GMT on NYMEX today. April Brent crude gained as much as 2.83 percent to trade at $33.09 per barrel on ICE.

State pension
State Pensions are always a topic of debate. Currently they provide a guaranteed income upon retirement for those who have paid in a minimum amount of National Insurance Contributions. There are currently 2 levels of state pension:-
Level 1 is currently (2009/2010) £95.25
Level 2 (S2P) is Earnings Related
Some people have chosen to opt out of the S2P (previously SERPS) in favour of contributions being added to a Personal Pension.
Retirement Age
The state retirement age is increasing as follows:
Retirement Age for Women
Prior to the Conservative/Lib Dem Coalition government anouncements on 20th October, 2010 the UK Retirment Ages were already set to rise for women, to bring them inline with men by 2020 at 65 years of age. However, that has now changed and the state pensionable age will now rise to 66 for everyone by 2020.
The current UK retirement age for women is 60
* From 2010 the retirement age for women will increase so that by 2020 it will be age 66. This will not affect women born before 1950
* Women born after 6th April 1950 and 5th April 1955 will have a retirement age between aged 60 and 65
* Women born from 6th April 1955 will have a retirement age of 65
And it doesn't stop there between 2024 and 2046 the retirement age for Women is set to increase again to age 68. This will be a gradual increase so keep this in mind when arranging your pensions.
Retirement Age for Men
The current UK retirement age for men is 65
Between 2024 and 2046 the retirement age for men is set to increase again to age 68. This will be a gradual increase so keep this in mind when arranging your pension.
National Insurance Contributions
To qualify for the state pension you must have paid a certain amount of qualifying years of National Insurance Contributions. For men it is 49 years and women 44 years (dependent upon when you were born). A qualifying year is classed as a year where you earned enough to pay NI contributions or where you have been credited with National Insurance contributions. If you have not contributed full national insurance but have more than 25% then you will be rewarded with a proportion of the full pension. If you reach retirement aged on or after 6/4/2010 then you will need to have contributed 30 years to receive a full basic pension. Read more about national insurance contributions here.
Other State Benefits for Pensioners
It is estimated that a billions of pounds each year is unclaimed by pensioners. Read our State Benefits for Pensioners guide for more information.
Changes from April 2010
From 6th April, 2010 there will be no increase in your state pension for an extra adult. If you already claim this additional benefit, you will continue to be paid it until you no longer meet the qualifying conditions, or until April, 2020; whichever is the soonest.
Moving Overseas
The good news is that you don't loose your entitlement to your State Pension if you choose to retire and spend your retirement years in a sunnier climate. Your pension can be paid into your UK bank account, into an overseas bank account, or you can be sent a cheque every 4 or 13 weeks. It is always best to notify the correct agency as soon as you know you are moving abroad to give you longer to organise everything.
S2P Previously SERPS
With regards to S2P then you would need to be employed and earning above a certain amount to qualify, the amount you receive depends on the amount of National Insurance Contributions you have paid along with the Government Policy although Self Employed people are not eligible for the S2P scheme. If you have previously contributed under the SERPS scheme then any contributions made before April 2002 will be protected even if you not reached retirement age by 08/2009
Approximately 4 months prior to retirement age you should receive a claim form from the Pension Service, if this does not arrive then contact the Pension Service on 0845 300 1084 from 8am to 8pm, Mon to Fri (excluding Bank Hols) and 9am to 1pm on Saturdays.
If you have any other questions with regards to the S2P scheme then you can write to:-
The Pension Service
PO Box 1005
Newcastle Upon Tyne
Tel: 0845 606 0265 8am - 8pm Mon - Fri (Excluding Bank Holidays
Fax: 0191 218 6061
Or online at The Pension Service
There are also many options to consider with regards to arranging your own Pensions, including Personal Pensions, Stakeholder Pensions and Final Salary Pension Schemes.
