Please don't name any specific country you'd like to go to war with, just what in your minds would justify a massive number of deaths. As for myself, I would say, in no particular order: - Attacked by another nation. (This includes economic attacks as well) - Another country is commiting atracitites (ie genocide and such). - A neighbor/friendly country is attacked by another country. - Lastly, and least likely, if God came down and said: "Go to war with {Blank}!"

British Gas
The Challenge
To support their brand activity, British Gas needed to drive cost effective leads for the range of services and products that they offer, including boiler breakdown repair and cover, central heating installation, energy supply and their plumbing and drains services through their Dyno brand. With varying budgets and differing cost per lead / sale targets for each of the products, a significant part of the challenge was to balance the differing requirements of each to form a plan that met the collective and individual needs of each brand manager.
Based on a wealth of past and current performance analytics data, as well as postcode-level sales data and competitor insight, we implemented highly targeted national plans across a selection of digital and print acquisition channels enabling British Gas to dominate the fiercely competitive domestic services category. The plans were developed using sophisticated segmentation based on a deep understanding of the psychological needs of a consumer in a moment of need. We have developed and produced over 4,000 creative assets in-house, and as such, were able to deliver both highly relevant and highly effective messaging to potential customers when they were searching for potential suppliers to rescue them from their freezing home or their flooded bathroom.
In our first year working with British Gas, we increased their call volumes, reduced cost per leads and at the same time, delivered significantly more inventory than they'd had previously. Since then, we have continued to drive substantial lead and sales volumes for the range of products and services British Gas have on offer. Year on year, the added value that we've managed to negotiate on their behalf has continued to increase. All in all, a relationship we are very proud of, and in the words one of their Marketing Managers... "TMP Magnet offer expert knowledge and skills, which are complemented by sophisticated planning and performance analytics. A great team to work with and highly recommended!"


text: AUBURN HILLS, Mich. (AP) -- Rasheed Wallace was prepared for any defense the Chicago Bulls tried. Wallace scored 10 of his 19 points in the third quarter and led the Detroit Pistons to a 110-82 victory over the Bulls on Friday night. "I knew they were going to come at me," Wallace said. "I could see the double-teams coming, and I just got the ball to the open man." Wallace even had time to take part in the crowd's "Fire Millen" chant during a late timeout, referring to Detroit Lions president Matt Millen. "That was all in good fun," said Wallace, who jokingly offered to play quarterback for the Lions earlier in the season. "I hear there's going to be a big march on Sunday, but we'll be out of town." Wallace impressed his coach by scoring his 19 points on just 10 field-goal attempts. He was 6-for-10 from the floor, including 3-for-4 on 3-pointers, and made all four of his free throws. "That's efficient," Pistons coach Flip Saunders said. "Sheed has his fun out there, but 19 points on 10 shots is pretty tough to do." Detroit improved to 17-3, the best 20-game start in team history, and snapped Chicago's four-game road winning streak. The Pistons are 7-1 at home. "We're playing every game for Game 7," Saunders said. "This year, we want Game 7 of the Finals to be in this building." Wallace added 10 rebounds and Ben Wallace had 13. Richard Hamilton scored 18 points for Detroit, while Chauncey Billups had 15 points and eight assists. "When we get it going offensively, we are tough to stop," Billups said. "Sheed was great tonight -- he made shots, but he didn't force anything." Chris Duhon led Chicago with 13 points, but Luol Deng was the only other starter in double figures with 11. "Everything we needed to do, we didn't get done," Chicago coach Scott Skiles said. "From the minute the ball went up, they just dominated us all over the floor." The Pistons used a balanced attack to lead by 13 at the half -- scoring 52 points without a player in double figures. Detroit shot 49 percent and outrebounded the Bulls 24-19. "They showed why they're the best team in the league right now," Duhon said. "We couldn't do anything offensive, we couldn't do anything defensively. We should feel embarrassed." The Pistons expanded their advantage to 61-43 in the first four minutes of the third quarter. Rasheed Wallace had seven points in the surge, including a 3-pointer. He added another 3-pointer later in the period, and Detroit held a commanding 85-58 lead, having outscored Chicago 33-19 in the quarter.

Wells Fargo, along with the North Carolina High School Athletic Association, today announced the final standings in the Wells Fargo State Cup competitions for the 2013-14 academic year.
The Wells Fargo Cup is sponsored by Wells Fargo and the NCHSAA. The award recognizes the high schools that achieve the best overall interscholastic athletic performance within each of the state's four competitive classifications. The Cup program is in its 35th year.
Two of last year's Wells Fargo Cup champions repeated the feat. Green Hope maintained its lead after winter sports to capture the Cup in the final 4A standings for the fifth consecutive year. Waxhaw'S Marvin Ridge had a terrific year and took its first Cup title in the 3A classification, while Carrboro was the Cup winner among 2A schools for the third straight year. Kernersville Bishop McGuinness took top honors in the 1-A classification.
"We sincerely appreciate Wells Fargo's commitment to our overall program in recognizing our champions," said Davis Whitfield, NCHSAA commissioner. "These schools which win the Wells Fargo Cup do a tremendous job with their overall athletic programs, and we are grateful for Wells Fargo's desire to recognize their achievements."

In the 4A classification, Green Hope finished first with 475 points to hold off hard-charging Apex at 457.5 for the crown. Wake County schools did extremely well, as three of the top four finishers and six of the top 12 in the standings are from Wake County.
Green Hope preserved its title by finishing in the top eight in both boys lacrosse and boys tennis and placing sixth in boys golf. Apex had a strong showing in lacrosse, winding up second in both boys and girls, and also took second in boys outdoor track and field while tying for fifth in the girls state championship track meet.
Hough in Cornelius, N.C. was third with 392.5 points, followed by Millbrook (385) in fourth and a newcomer to the 4A ranks, Charlotte Catholic, coming in fifth with 370 points.
After finishing second last year, Marvin Ridge completed its championship year with a strong spring, scoring playoff points in seven different sports. Highlights for Marvin Ridge include second-place finishes in boys golf, boys tennis and boys lacrosse, and tying with Cardinal Gibbons for the 3A team going the farthest in the open girls lacrosse tournament.
Cardinal Gibbons, which had won eight straight Cups in two different classifications, took second at 622.5 points, winning the 1A/2A/3A boys lacrosse and taking top honors in boys tennis.
Chapel Hill, buoyed by a state championship in girls soccer, a top-four finish in boys tennis and third-place ranking among 3A teams in girls lacrosse, scored 532.5 points for third place. Weddington was fourth at 510 and Northern Guilford fifth with 380 points.
Carrboro had an impressive spring to secure its third consecutive Cup, rolling up 267.5 points in the spring for its 615 total, well ahead of runner-up N.C. School of Science and Math at 387.5 points. Carrboro, with playoff points in six different sports, won the 2A boys dual team tennis title, was second in the girls outdoor track and field championships and then picked up points as the top 2A finisher in girls lacrosse and tied for the top spot with two others in boys lacrosse.
NCSSM, which held the lead after the winter season, managed a top-four finish in boys tennis and took seventh in boys track and field.
Lake Norman Charter, which moved up to 2A in realignment, was third overall in the 2A class with 387.5 points, followed by Shelby (345) and Newport Croatan (327.5).
In the 1A classification, Bishop McGuinness had a strong spring, with 307.5 points in spring sports of the Villiains' 675 total. That included state championship performances in boys golf, boys tennis and girls outdoor track and field.
Raleigh Charter and Community School of Davidson tied for second with 375 points apiece. Raleigh Charter's top spring finish was a state runner-up position in men's tennis, while Community School won the state 1A girls soccer crown.
Elkin was fourth in the standings with 307.5 points and Misenheimer Gray Stone Day was fifth with 287.5.
Wells Fargo Cup points are determined by a system based on performance in state championship events. All schools that finish in the top eight positions (plus ties) earn points. In the playoff events involving teams from more than one classification, Wells Fargo Cup points are awarded based on the school's standing against other schools in its own classification. If fewer then eight schools from a classification compete in a sport, only those schools that are represented are eligible to receive the Cup points.
Points are awarded for all sports as follows: 50 for first, 45 for second, 40 for third, 35 for fourth, 30 for fifth, 25 for sixth, 20 for seventh and 15 for eighth. In the event of a tie, the schools receive an equal number of points based on the number of teams that tie and the number of teams that finish higher in the standings. Five points are awarded for each sanctioned sport in which a school competes.
Wells Fargo Cup standings are announced three times each school year: once after the fall and then the winter sports, and concluding with the winner after the spring sports season ends.

- Enter tasks in your Outlook diary
- Automatically get your next available time
- Reprioritise your day in one click – important tasks first
- Search, filter and share through Outlook
- Built in reports give you visibility over your work
- Convert emails to tasks or meetings
- Convert tasks to appointments or meetings
- Enter pictures, progress, emails and attachments into tasks
- Control from a mobile device
Tasks overwhelming you?
Everyone builds up a to do list at work. Emails pile up, conversations with colleagues sit in the background, paper mountains forming on your desk. As to do lists build up and the number of flagged emails increase, it seems like there must be a better way.
Working Title TaskMaster helps in two ways.
Task management within your diary
Firstly, it brings your to do list into your Outlook diary. This allows you to manage everything in one place. Importantly, it also blocks your diary out when you're busy working, not just when you're in meetings.
Let the computer do the work
Secondly, TaskMaster has a unique algorithm which allows you to find a time for your tasks in just one click.
Our unqique algorithm searches through your diary for your next available free time. All you need to do is tell TaskMaster how long you think the task will take. Once a time has been found, it either books your task automatically for you or asks you first, the choice is yours. You can then forget about the task until the reminder pops up.
To help you keep on top of your to do list, TaskMaster automatically reports against which tasks you've completed today, and which are still outstanding.
It also comes with filters for your diary, so that you can understand how much of your diary has been taken up by tasks.
Task management simplified
TaskMaster has been designed to sit inside Outlook, managing your tasks for you, but with you in charge. It doesn't get in the way of the rest of Outlook. It re-uses what you already do in Outlook, meaning you already know how to use it!
One of the most flexible parts of the task management in TaskMaster is the subject API which let's you control your tasks across devices and apps. If you're not sure what's going on, you can get a daily tasks summary, filter your diary by completed or incomplete tasks and much more!
By putting the task status in the subject, you can easily scan your diary and understand the tasks ahead.
It really is simple, why not give it a try?
Requirements: MS Outlook 2010 desktop client or above (Exchange 365 supported), Windows Vista or above

Article Published: September 23, 2015
Article Published: September 23, 2015
By Michelle Szemanski, The Hardware Store
For Almost 40 years, a $1 billion business has been thriving quietly in Pittsburgh's backyard. Black Box Network Services began manufacturing technology products in 1976, expanding into services and connecting more than 4,000 employees around satellite offices worldwide.
The company launched during a phase of computer technology where there weren't well-developed standards like we have today. Something as simple as connecting printers was a complicated task in the 1970s and 1980s. Black Box quickly created a reputation for "making things work" and saving businesses money by avoiding redundant equipment.
This was also the age of catalogs, where people got their products from direct marketing in print for clothes, for home goods, for tech, for everything. Black Box launched its own catalog at just four pages in 1976, which grew to more than 1,000 pages at its peak. But Black Box didn't stop at manufacturing products. In the 1980s and 1990s, the company diversified by acquiring businesses based in infrastructure like cabling and wireless networks, as well as on-site and remote IT services. The acquisitions helped Black Box go international, now doing business in 141 countries with the largest footprint in the industry.
While Black Box maintained its early success, growth posed its own set of challenges. The acquisitions corresponded to a changing technological landscape, as the late 1990s saw the rise of internet marketing and the fall of old-school print advertising. People logged on to shop rather than waiting for the mail and flipping through the catalogs. So the company evolved. First, Black Box focused on integrating its product manufacturing backbone with expanded service capabilities. Next, the company infused its ranks with fresh blood, drawing on the brightest employees from acquired companies and tapping new talent from local colleges like the University of Pittsburgh and Carnegie Mellon University.
"Black Box was well known in the 1980s and 1990s, but in the 2000s the company changed gears and really put the foot on the gas. We've been here for a long time, and we're still innovating and hiring all the time," said Josh Whitney, VP of Technology Product Solutions and International Services. "There's a huge amount of potential here with the tech culture and universities, and if we're going to grow, we're going to grow right here in Pittsburgh."
The result goes far beyond the black boxes that graced the company's original four-page catalog. Like the catalogs, schools are turning away from paper and print and starting to use modern technology like laptops, tablets and smartboards in the classroom. Every device needs to be stored and secured, beyond trusting students to use their lockers. Black Box provides mobile carts that keep laptops and tablets safe, charged and synced up, making it convenient to roll out devices as needed from day to day or room to room.
Black Box technology can also be found in diverse industries like media, health care, banking and manufacturing. In factory control rooms, broadcast media studios and radio stations, analysts rely on Black Box technology to manage video feeds across locations, monitor camera feeds, or control audio channels. In hospitals, Black Box provides cutting-edge distributed antenna system (DAS) services to ensure wireless coverage in dead zones throughout buildings.
In corporate offices, Black Box designs and deploys networks in collaboration with partners like Cisco. Black Box products and IT services condense the chaotic Internet of Things back into cohesive command centers, guarantee connectivity in the places that need it most and support complex networks for large businesses.
As Pittsburgh transformed itself into a hub for health care, education, banking and technology, Black Box changed right along with it, reinventing the business and mirroring the region's resourcefulness and ingenuity.

I am a Hindu Brahmin and my husband is an Iranian Zoroastrian. We are not a particularly religious couple, neither of us practices rituals. When we got married, we didn't think that religion or religious identity was important.
And then one day in a New York hospital, a midwife presented us with a six-pound baby boy, who in turn was presented with a host of golden "Om" pendants and "Farohars" (a Zoroastrian symbol) in all shapes and sizes.
While my parents thanked the panoply of Hindu Gods for our son, my Zoroastrian in-laws rejoiced at having another potential member to add to their clan.
Suddenly, my husband and I were at a loss. Everyone was asking us how we were going to raise our son and we had no clue. Sure, we had our love, and we would give plenty of it to our son. But beyond that, what was he - a Hindu, a Zoroastrian, both, neither? Didn't we need to impart to him a sense of identity, a sense of belonging? Was it not our duty as parents to let him know where we were from, to give him a religious backdrop to his life?
The problem, though, was that neither my husband nor I had any clear definition of what it means to be a Hindu or a Zoroastrian. Beyond knowing that one of us was born a Hindu and the other a Zoroastrian, we had little knowledge of what that meant, and we had never felt any need to know more.
Now, I considered joining a Hindu group, or visiting the Hindu Temple. I urged my husband to join the Zoroastrian Association of the Greater New York Area. I read books and articles on the Zoroastrian faith and acquainted myself with Hindu practices.
And then one day, things changed. I happened to pass by a Persian grocery store in Manhattan, which was beautifully decorated for Noruz, the Persian New Year. The owner was friendly - he was thrilled my husband was Persian, and he spoke to me at length about Noruz, a festival that dates back to the time of the Prophet Zoroaster and marks the beginning of spring. Every Noruz, Persians - Muslims, Zoroastrians, Bahais - set a table with seven symbolic objects that begin with the Farsi letter 'S'. Each object is symbolic of life, of new beginnings. The shopkeeper showed me his own Noruz table - the "Sofreh Haft Seen," as it is called, colorful and beautifully decorated.
Suddenly, I was inspired. I rushed home and began to set up my own "Sofreh Haft Seen." I removed the photo and the cigar box from my little wooden table and set upon it a pretty white lace cover. I then placed the germinating sprouts I had bought at the Persian store. I added an apple, a whole head of garlic and a small cup of vinegar. I also added a small glass bowl of sugar, some honey, and a glass of orange juice. I also added colorful dishes of cookies and candy and a goblet of red wine, which Zoroastrian Iranians place on their tables. I topped it off with a painting of the Prophet Zoroaster.
My table looked so pretty that I was further inspired. I rushed to dress my son and myself in fine clothes, and urged my husband to do the same. Grabbing the digital camera, I took a picture of the three of us in front of our table and sent it to our friends and family members.
The following year, I continued our budding tradition. My son had grown a little, and I could give him some context for the little table's finery. I told my son the story of Christmas, I started to tell him about Hindu Gods like Ram, Krishna, and Ganesh, and I explained who the Prophet Zoraster was. I wish for story telling to be a part of our family tradition to give some context to the festivals we are celebrating. He learned how the elephant God, Ganesh, got his elephant head, and he understood that the picture of the man with the long beard (Prophet Zoroaster), who presides over the Noruz table, was given to him by his paternal grandparents.

Newcastle United removes St James' Park sign
The St James' Park sign has been removed from Newcastle United's football ground to make way for its new name.
The name change from St James' Park to the Sports Direct Arena was announced in November.
The club said the change was temporary and it hoped to "showcase" the sponsorship opportunity to "interested parties".
Managing director Derek Llambias said it could generate up to £10m a year.
When the club announced the name change to Sports Direct Arena - the company of club owner Mike Ashley - Newcastle United fans labelled it a "disgrace", with most refusing to use the new name.
Even Newcastle City Council asked local media organisations not to recognise the Sports Direct Arena name.
Newcastle United FC have given no comment on the new signage.
Toon Talk fanzine editor Steve Wraith said: "From my perspective, it's not a great shock, we knew it was going to happen.
"But the annoying thing is the timing. They have picked a gap in-between fixtures to remove the signs."
He said he thought it was a bit pointless doing it before the 2012 Olympics, when it will have to be called St James' Park again due to sponsorship agreements during the coverage of the event.
Mr Wraith said that from a sentimental point of view, he would still call it St James' Park.
The club have been playing at the site for 120 years. It is now the sixth biggest stadium in England, with a capacity of more than 52,000 seats.

In January 2013, the Augsburg Board of Regents launched a strategic planning initiative that involved conversation and input from across the campus community. The outcome of that work is a strategic vision statement that looks out to 2019, Augsburg's sesquicentennial year:
In 2019, Augsburg University will be a new kind of student-centered, urban university, small to our students and big for the world.
"Small to our students" reflects the relationships, community, and personal attention that are hallmarks of the educational experience at Augsburg. "Big for the world" acknowledges the significant impact we know our students—and alumni—do and will make in the world.
The strategic plan is grounded in Augsburg's mission statement, which was updated in 2010. The plan is organized into three categories, or dimensions, each with three goals. The strategic vision will anchor the University's institutional initiatives and priorities throughout the next five years, reflecting the values and commitments stated in our mission:
Augsburg educates students to be informed citizens, thoughtful stewards, critical thinkers, and responsible leaders. The Augsburg experience is supported by an engaged community that is committed to intentional diversity in its life and work. An Augsburg education is defined by excellence in the liberal arts and professional studies, guided by the faith and values of the Lutheran church, and shaped by its urban and global settings.
Below is a brief outline of the three dimensions and nine goals of the strategic plan. For more detail, see the Augsburg2019 PDF.
Dimension 1
Educating for lives of purpose—across the disciplines, beyond the classroom, and around the world.
The first dimension articulates OUR ACADEMIC DISTINCTION. Following are the three goals in this dimension:
Goal 1: Because we seek to prepare students for civic agency in a complex world, Augsburg's signature curricula prepare students to think and act across the boundaries of ideas, value, and disciplinary perspectives.
Goal 2: Because an Augsburg education is defined by excellence, the University recruits, retains, supports, and celebrates an accomplished faculty fully committed to the academic and personal success of students.
Goal 3: Because we believe in meeting students where they are while challenging them to achieve, Augsburg equips all students to succeed.
Dimension 2
At the table with our neighbors and institutional partners, shaping education to address the world's needs.
The second dimension focuses on OUR REPUTATION AND IDENTITY. The three goals in this dimension are:
Goal 4: Augsburg is a vibrant and diverse learning community, intentionally reflective of a complex, interconnected world.
Goal 5: Augsburg is fully engaged in community, industry, and education partnerships, equipping students to discover their gifts, discern their vocations, and open doors to careers.
Goal 6: Because leadership calls us out into the world in bold and embodied ways, Augsburg is widely known for its core commitments—faith and spiritual inquiry, vocational discernment, civic engagement, and global understanding.
Dimension 3
Built for the future—a vital and sustainable institution.
The third dimension is about how OUR INSTITUTION WILL THRIVE NOW AND IN THE FUTURE. The goals in this dimension are:
Goal 7: As a place-based institution—in, of, and anchored by the communities we serve—Augsburg University facilities are welcoming, sustainable, and designed for educational excellence enriched by neighbors and partners.
Goal 8: Augsburg is a 21st century university designed to keep our promises.
Goal 9: Augsburg is a sustainable and vital force for educating future generations.

Installing and Using Debian GNU/Linux 2.1
This article discusses my experiences when I installed Debian 2.1 (slink) and what I encountered there. I have had previous experience with RedHat and have actually installed Debian 2.0 (hamm) on a 386 laptop before....
Acquiring It
Unfortunately, I'm stuck with a modem, so downloading from the Internet is out of the question. I picked up the Debian 2.1 4-Pack of CD's at Cheapbytes for $7. Debian is also available from a variety of other vendors. It does not yet have the widespread commercial availability in regular software stores.
The Install
My install was on a brand new 10GB hard drive, so I didn't have to worry about making room on existing partitions. FIPS, a non-destructive partition editor, could have made room on my existing disks if needed.
Since I have a fairly recent vintage machine, all I had to do was make a change in my BIOS settings, put the CD into the drive, and booted straight off of the CD, no floppies required. Floppy images are available for downloading and are also on the CD if you cannot boot off of a CD.
Debian's install is quite good. It gives guidance to those newer Linux users who may not know the exact steps to follow, while keeping the installation process completely configurable for the expert.
The Debian install asks the normal sort of questions, such as keyboard mappings and partitioning. Debian includes both the traditional fdisk along with the easier to use cfdisk. Then you choose the source media for your install. Many choices are given besides CD-ROM, including floppy, network, and hard disk installs. Unless you're installing from floppy, the base system install only take a small amount of time to complete.
The most fundamental difference between installing Debian and installing RedHat (and other distributions) is that Debian only installs a base system during the first boot, while, with RedHat, you have to make your choices about your initial package installation during the actual install. However, with Debian, the system reboots into the base system and you continue installation from there. After the reboot following the install of the base system, you get taken first to a PPP configuration program, pppconfig, if you need to use it. It is quite simple to use and has a clean interface. You're final stop along the journey is dselect.
dselect is a rather maligned program in the Debian world. It's considered by many to be antiquated and, is, in fact, in the the process of being replaced by apt, which is also included with Debian 2.1. I'm sorry to say my initial experience with dselect wasn't exactly positive either.. First, you give dselect a source for packages -- and this is where the problems started. I chose the 'multi-cd' option and dselect proceeded to interrogate me about the location of a number of different Package files. At first, I was completely confused, but I managed to find the location of the required files by switching consoles and going through the CD manually. Then, a file was completely missing ('available') when I tried to Install, and I had to manually 'locate' that file and put it into the correct directory. While I personally had no real problems figuring what to do once I found out what the problem was, I do not know if a less-experienced user would know what to do.
After this you are asked to, give create a user account, which I find to be a very nice procedure. Too many new Linux users do all their work from root, and that often leads to complete destruction of a Linux system. One mistake, and poof, there goes your system if you're root.
Beyond Installation - X and So On
The ncurses XF86Setup program nicely sets up X with only a few problems. However, being the X masochist that I am, I prefer to use the text-only xf86config. Using that as a base, I usually hack together an XF86Config file.
apt-get is a blessing. You need only type 'apt-get install program', and, in every case I've used it, apt-get finds the correct package, downloads it, installs it, and sets it up. The best yet is 'apt-get dist-upgrade', which will upgrade your ENTIRE distribution on the fly. Apt is due to completely replace dselect at some point in the future, and I'd have to say that I won't be sad when dselect goes.
Debian adheres rather strictly to the new arrangement of the file systems. This is quite nice as it makes it easy to find the software and files I need to use. This also helps eliminate file system clutter and confusion.
I'd have to say that I find Debian more useful *to me* than RedHat. RedHat is geared more towards beginners, while Debian seems to be aimed towards a more advanced audience. This is not to say that beginners should not use Debian, or that advanced users shouldn't use RedHat. Both are excellent choices and have their uses.
I wholeheartedly recommend user of other Linux distributions to try out Debian.I encourage the rest of the community to give it and other distributions a try. I have used Debian and have been fully satisfied with it. I hope you will be too.

GRAIN VALLEY, Mo. (AP) – A popular suburban Kansas City elementary school teacher who also helped coach children's soccer teams has been charged with molesting four boys in his second-grade classroom, and police say they are looking for other possible victims.
Matthew J. Nelson, 33, has taught second- and third-graders at Grain Valley elementary schools for a decade and was honored in 2007 as the local "Teacher of the Year." He also was an assistant coach for boys and girls soccer teams.
"That's our fear: the potential there could be more victims out there," said Grain Valley Police Chief Aaron Ambrose.
Nelson was charged Wednesday with one count of first-degree molestation and three counts of first-degree statutory sodomy. Jackson County prosecutors say Nelson sexually abused four boys, ranging in age from 7 to 9 years old, from Aug. 1, 2010, through Jan. 6 of this year at Prairie Branch Elementary. Prosecutors allege he fondled the children, usually during movie or quiet reading time.
Nelson was suspended from his teaching job on Jan. 9, once Grain Valley school district officials were informed that a young boy had told his mother Nelson was "huggy" and had fondled him through his clothing during class.
Under Missouri law, a person can be guilty of first-degree statutory sodomy for fondling a child younger than 14 for the purpose of sexual gratification.
Nelson pleaded not guilty to all counts and was being held on $250,000 cash-only bond. As of Thursday, online court records did not list an attorney for him, and a spokesman for the Jackson County prosecutor's office said it wasn't immediately clear who was representing him.
Brad Welle, Grain Valley assistant superintendent for academic and student services, said the district has brought in extra counselors, an outside consultant and a psychologist to meet with parents and students. It also set up a call center to respond to questions. Welle said the district was leaving it up to parents to explain to their children what had happened with Nelson.
"As far as in the classroom, that's not a discussion we're having at school," he said. "What we're trying to do, given the age of the kids, is give parents the information and the support they need."
Traci Summerlin, president of the school's Parent Teacher Organization and a parent of children in the school, praised the district's response to the claims and its willingness to talk to parents.
"I feel all parents and staff at Prairie Branch Elementary are shocked and saddened by the events of this week," she told The Associated Press in an email. "We also realize this can happen anywhere. That's why it is very important to talk to your children at an early age about what is appropriate touch and what is not appropriate touch."
Welle said Prairie Branch is "one of those places where it's almost kind of the ideal little neighborhood school." It opened in 2005, and the teachers consider themselves part of a larger family. That's why word that one of their own might have committed unthinkable crimes against young children hit them so hard, he said.
"Shock is the overwhelming reaction we are getting," he said. "People are frustrated, scared, curious. … There are a lot of different ways people are reacting, all of which is to be expected."
