After Grading Shift, Montgomery Still Adjusting

Attendance never had been quite this good at Walter Johnson High School's PTA meetings. But in the fall, the monthly gatherings at the Bethesda campus began attracting about 100 people -- almost five times the usual number.

The reason was simple: This school year, Walter Johnson became one of two high schools in Montgomery County to begin grading its students using a system that emphasized academic achievement over participation. It also began to frown on giving students extra credit for such nonacademic pursuits as covering their books or bringing in canned goods for the annual holiday food drive.

Class participation, including that in Steve Miller's Advanced Placement U.S. Government and Politics course for ninth- graders, no longer factors in the grading at Walter Johnson High School in Bethesda. (Michael Robinson-chavez -- The Washington Post)

With the reports for the third marking period due out today, Montgomery school officials are continuing efforts to win over skeptics.

The changes are part of an overall effort to make grades in the 140,000-student system a better measure of academic -- and only academic -- achievement, and they put Montgomery at the forefront of a handful of school systems nationwide that are trying to change the way they teach and test students. While many of the systems have established new standards and testing, few have changed the way they grade.

But the changes also represent a seismic shift in people's perceptions of what grades mean.

Under a standards-based system, such as the one in place in Montgomery, the goal is to boost achievement by raising expectations for all students. Youths are evaluated on how they measure up to a set of absolute standards, rather than being graded on how their achievement compared with that of their classmates.

For example, a student is given a top score for mastering all of the multiplication table, not just for knowing more of it than classmates.

Associate Superintendent Dale Fulton said that under the old methods, there was too much inconsistency in grading across the system. What constituted "A" level work at one campus might rate a "C" at another. The new policy laid out by the Board of Education aims to prevent that.

At Walter Johnson, parents were all for meaningful grades, but under the new system, they weren't quite sure what that meant. Yes, they bought into the policy in a global "It's good for the kids" sense, but it was the details -- the nitty-gritty -- that they needed to see and understand. For example, if class participation no longer counted as part of a student's grade, did that mean foreign-language teachers couldn't evaluate students on how well they spoke the language?

The school had few models to emulate, so teachers, parents and students worked together to fill in the blanks.

"At first, implementation was a little rough,'' said Christopher Garran, Walter Johnson's acting principal. "Fortunately, the staff here, the parents and students were pretty honest.''

In some cases, brutally honest.

In response to community concern in early 2004, Montgomery school trustees offered schools a reprieve, voting to delay implementation of the revised grading policy they approved in March 2003. Instead of implementing the changes all at once, it would roll out the changes over five years, the board concluded.

But at two high schools, Walter Johnson and Seneca Valley in Germantown, staff members said they wanted to push forward. They had invested too many hours in training teachers, and they didn't want to lose momentum.

Looking back, PTA President John Moriarty, who has two daughters at Walter Johnson, said he should have anticipated the confused reaction from parents and students. "It made sense what they were trying to do," he said of the changes. "Of course, that's not to say that folks were completely thrilled."

Moriarty said that after a difficult first semester, he thinks that the Walter Johnson community had worked through some of the more vexing issues. In a sign that things have settled down a bit, Moriarty noted that attendance at monthly PTA meetings has dropped to levels mirroring those before the grading and reporting changes.

"People are more comfortable with it,'' Moriarty said. "It was a hotter topic at the beginning of the year. But whether they're more familiar with it or resigned to it, the level of interest has dropped."

Iraq to Deny New License To Blackwater Security Firm
U.S. Embassy's Preferred Contractor Accused of Killings

By Ernesto Londoño and Qais Mizher
Washington Post Foreign Service
Thursday, January 29, 2009

MOSUL, Iraq, Jan. 28 -- The Iraqi government has informed the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad that it will not issue a new operating license to Blackwater Worldwide, the embassy's primary security company, which has come under scrutiny for allegedly using excessive force while protecting American diplomats, Iraqi and U.S. officials said Wednesday.

Iraq's Interior Ministry conveyed its decision to U.S. officials in Baghdad on Friday, in one of the boldest moves the government has made since the Jan. 1 implementation of a security agreement with the United States that sharply curbed American power in Iraq.

Blackwater employees who have not been accused of improper conduct will be allowed to continue working as private security contractors in Iraq if they switch employers, Iraqi officials said Wednesday.

The officials said Blackwater must leave the country as soon as a joint Iraqi-U.S. committee finishes drawing up guidelines for private contractors under the security agreement. It is unclear how long that will take. Blackwater employees and other U.S. contractors had been immune from prosecution under Iraqi law.

"When the work of this committee ends," Interior Ministry spokesman Maj. Gen. Abdul-Karim Khalaf said, private security companies "will be under the authority of the Iraqi government, and those companies that don't have licenses, such as Blackwater, should leave Iraq immediately."

The State Department said Wednesday that its contractors will obey Iraqi law.

"We will work with the government of Iraq and our contractors to address the implications of this decision in a way that minimizes any impact on safety and security of embassy Baghdad personnel," spokesman Noel Clay said.

Blackwater spokeswoman Anne Tyrrell said she was not aware of the Iraqi government's decision.

"It would be irresponsible for me to comment on a decision that may or may not have been reached," she said in an e-mail Wednesday.

The United States was unable to persuade the Iraqi government to extend the immunity of its contractors past the expiration of the U.N. Security Council resolution on Dec. 31. No American diplomat has been killed during missions secured by Blackwater.

The North Carolina company became widely despised by Iraqis after a string of incidents during which its heavily armed guards were accused of using excessive force. The deadliest was the Sept. 16, 2007, shooting in Nisoor Square, in central Baghdad, when Blackwater guards opened fire on Iraqis in a crowded street, killing 17 civilians, after the guards' convoy reportedly came under fire.

The U.S. attorney's office in Washington last month charged five of the men with voluntary manslaughter and using a machine gun to commit a violent act. The men entered not guilty pleas and are awaiting trial. A sixth guard reached a plea deal with prosecutors.

Private security companies working for the U.S. government in Iraq have been required to obtain licenses from the Iraqi Interior Ministry since 2004, but some have operated without licenses, and until this year, there was little the Iraqi government could do to enforce the rule.

The ministry revoked Blackwater's license in September 2007 and threatened to expel the company's employees, but U.S. officials ignored the order and renewed the company's contract the following April.

Iraqi officials said Wednesday they decided not to issue the company a new license largely because of the Nisoor Square shooting.

"We informed the U.S. Embassy in Iraq about this decision, and they will have to find another company to replace them," said Gen. Hussain Kamal, a senior Interior Ministry official.

Blackwater employees were also accused of shooting Iraqi guards working for a television station in the spring of 2007. And on Dec. 24, 2006, a drunk Blackwater guard fatally shot a guard employed by Iraqi Vice President Adel Abdul Mahdi.

According to a congressional report issued in October 2007, Blackwater guards have been involved in nearly 200 shootings in Iraq since 2005.

The company has received more than $1 billion from the federal government since 2000. In recent months, however, Blackwater has expanded its business model to rely less heavily on private security work overseas. Though tremendously profitable, the field has generated an avalanche of bad publicity for the company and exposed it to numerous lawsuits.

The two other large security companies that protect American diplomats in Iraq are DynCorp International and Triple Canopy, both based in Northern Virginia.

Blackwater employees work under the supervision of the embassy's regional security officer. The company's drivers and bodyguards take U.S. diplomats to meetings outside the Green Zone, and its pilots often fly in small helicopters over convoys as an added security measure. The Blackwater employees live in a compound in the Green Zone that is informally referred to as "man camp." According to the October 2007 congressional report, Blackwater guards made more than $1,200 per day.

Private security contractors in Iraq last year became deeply concerned about losing their immunity with the implementation of the security agreement, which U.S. officials feared would trigger a mass exodus. But few have left. Instead, in recent months, Western private security companies have sought to build strong relationships with the Iraqi government and have hired more Iraqi guards.

Sami Hawa Hamud al-Sabahin, who was among those wounded in the Nisoor Square shooting, said he was overjoyed to hear the news about Blackwater.

"It makes me happy and lets me feel that the government didn't forget us," he said.

Umm Tahsin , the widow of Ali Khalil Abdul Hussein, one of the men killed in the shooting, also applauded the government's decision. But she lamented that neither the Iraqi nor the U.S. government has compensated her family for their loss.

"Those people are a group of criminals," she said of Blackwater. "What they did was a massacre. Pushing them out is the best solution. They destroyed our family."

Music Review

At Rock the Bells, Lauryn Hill offers too little -- way too late

The annual hip-hop mega-festival Rock The Bells hit Merriweather Post Pavilion on Sunday featuring performances by Wu-Tang Clan, A Tribe Called Quest and - eventually - Lauryn Hill and Snoop Dogg.
By David Malitz
Washington Post Staff Writer
Tuesday, August 31, 2010

Hip-hop may very well be the definitive American music genre, and this year's edition of the Rock the Bells mega-festival at Merriweather Post Pavilion on Sunday looked to stake that claim the old-fashioned way -- with a blatant, nostalgia-driven cash in. Some tickets cost upwards of $150, and there were VIP packages that got you preferred parking, souvenirs and artist meet-and-greets. Most tellingly, the lineup was a who's who of pre-Internet stars set to perform classic albums that most audience members probably first purchased on cassette. But if reaching middle age means becoming more responsible and reliable, a few of the day's performers didn't get that particular memo. Apparently it was the same memo that had the set times, too.

Okay, so everyone advertised did perform. But it sure was a nail-biter. Lauryn Hill, the eccentric erstwhile Fugee who has mostly stayed out of sight since her lone solo album, 1998's still-scintillating R&B masterpiece "The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill," was clearly the lineup's chief curiosity. When it comes to her behavior over the past decade there's been no rumor too bizarre to believe. Sunday's rumor was a doozy, and it was true -- she really was three hours late to the stage because she was getting a manicure-pedicure. Suddenly, the attempt by her former band mate Wyclef Jean to become president of Haiti doesn't seem quite so self-centered.

As her 4:30 start time approached, the elaborate stage plot was ready to go. And then . . . nothing. A 10-minute wait became a half-hour, which became a full hour. Scattered heckles became heavy boos as the stage was broken down at 5:30. Meanwhile, on the festival's side stage, 22-year-old upstart Wiz Khalifa broke no new ground with his marijuana-based raps but had a few thousand people singing and puffing along to tracks from his latest mix tape, "Kush and Orange Juice." His charisma currently laps his skill on the microphone, but if Rock the Bells continues he'll be a featured act sooner rather than later.

Back at the pavilion main stage, the waiting game continued. After a staggering two hours of silence A Tribe Called Quest hit the stage to the rabid delight of festival-goers dying to hear, well, anything. Q-Tip and Phife Dawg stormed through the majority of the bass-heavy boomers from "Midnight Marauders" in addition to hits such as "Can I Kick It" and "Bonita Applebum." Instant-party starter Busta Rhymes emerged for "Oh My God," and Q-Tip further upped the showmanship ante by stripping down to just a T-shirt and boxers while performing nearly 20 rows into the crowd. It was a much-needed shot in the arm.

Her toenails apparently dry, Lauryn Hill was finally next, but she probably shouldn't have bothered. The performance was a messy rush through highlights from "Miseducation," but they were hardly recognizable due to her hoarse voice, speedy delivery and clunky, overstuffed arrangements. Hill wasn't lacking for energy, just focus. The feedback on her microphone was ear-splitting; special guest Nas came out for a 45-second cameo, and his microphone wasn't working for half of it. After 20 minutes she departed to an equal mix of cheers and boos, seemingly oblivious as to why anyone might be upset.

Wu-Tang Clan erased most of that bad taste and were the clear winners of the evening with an hour-long set that was supposed to be a run-through of "Enter the Wu-Tang: 36 Chambers." The performance barely resembled the group's 1993 classic, but it was a whirlwind of well-executed gang-rapping just the same. Not only was every single living member of the Clan accounted for -- a rarity on the level of a complete assembly of the Justice League of America -- but Inspectah Deck performed despite his mother dying earlier in the day. After Hill's shenanigans, the crowd was especially appreciative.

With nine members onstage (Ol' Dirty Bastard's son filled in for his deceased dad), things sometimes teetered on the brink of chaos, but stayed under control thanks to the Clan's perfect adherence to their roles. Method Man was the ringleader; Raekwon, Ghostface and GZA the most skilled verse-spitters; RZA the proud-looking papa at the back of the stage; Inspectah Deck doing underrated yeoman's work; U-God, Masta Killa and Cappadonna providing backup.

As headliner Snoop Dogg's stage props were assembled -- that would be a large video screen and a park bench covered in 40s in brown paper bags -- and the clock began ticking toward the venue's 11 p.m. curfew, the chatter started again. As a general rule of thumb, chatter at hip-hop shows is not a good thing. Where's Snoop? He was in New York performing at a Michael Jackson tribute show earlier in the day and at 10:45 p.m. was nowhere to be seen. Boos, again.

He did finally emerge, wearing what seemed to be your grandmother's old kitchen tablecloth and performed a truncated version of his iconic gangsta rap album "Doggystyle." Snoop has become such a cartoon character in recent years -- reality shows, Katy Perry cameos and lots and lots of weed -- that it was a bit bizarre to see him revisit his thug persona. He mostly stayed true to character, never smiling -- maybe he was too focused reading his lyrics off teleprompters -- but his listless performance gave off the vibe that he'd rather be somewhere else. Like, New York. Snoop drawled over the atomic G-funk of "What's My Name?" as the house lights went on -- the venue's not-so-subtle way of saying, "It's time for you to go now." It's hard to think Snoop minded too much.

Genome Database Will Link Genes, Traits in Public View

BOSTON -- George Church wants to put his personal genetic blueprint online for all to see -- the sequence of chemical bases that make him who he is, a lanky scientist of Scottish ancestry who has dyslexia, narcolepsy and motion sickness.

And he wants 99,999 other people to follow suit.

The Harvard genetics professor's Personal Genome Project is an attempt to build the only public genomic database that connects genes with diseases. With it, he believes, scientists could correlate more easily many millions of genetic variants with medical and other traits, from asthma to acne, eye color to perfect pitch.

If successful, he says, it would usher in an era of "personalized medicine" -- enabling a consumer to order up his own genetic blueprint and know what diseases might lurk in his future. That could allow him to change his lifestyle to try to avoid them. Or climb K2 now, while he still can.

A better understanding of genes could lead to more effective drugs, proponents say. Couples could learn what diseases might be in store for their children and decide not to have them. Eventually, they say, scientists might even be able to alter the dangerous genes.

But other people consider Church's vision the darker side of genetic knowledge. Such a database could be used against the participants. Insurance companies might refuse to sell them life, disability or long-term care coverage. A child could learn she faces a terrible disease. In a more far-fetched but still possible scenario, a criminal could craft synthetic DNA using someone's genetic code in the database and place it at a crime scene to frame that person. In a broader context, people might draw spurious links between genes and criminal behavior.

The database, a nonprofit venture, is scheduled to go online Monday, when Church and up to nine other volunteers -- the "PGP 10" -- will release their genomic data and traits profiles to the public. Then anyone, from a university researcher to a kid working in a basement lab, will be able to tap into the data and create research applications much the way that Facebook allows vendors to create game applications. It has enormous potential to help consumers control their health, proponents say, but critics say the risks outweigh the potential benefits.

"If people are concerned about what will happen, then they probably shouldn't be involved," said Church, 54. "We are recruiting people who are willing to have their data in the public domain because there's a pretty good chance that it will be public, whether you like it or not. So if you recruit people who are okay with that, then it's less likely that they'll be shocked and alarmed when it happens, if it happens."

But Stephen Mercer, a lawyer in Rockville who specializes in the intersection of DNA and civil liberties, said the trend opens the door to touting associations not based on sound science. "That's the real unstated danger here," he said, "that it will be a launching pad for behavioral human genetics, in the search for genes that dictate personality traits, coyness, anxiety, family conflict, sexual orientation."

Mercer said he could envision companies marketing genetic screening kits to prospective parents who might consider aborting a fetus, much like in the science fiction movie "Gattaca," which depicts a future in which humans are engineered for perfection. "Why have a kid who's over-anxious?" he said. "Why have a kid who's too impulsive? Why have a gay kid?"

As Church sees it, however, if people have their genes sequenced, more data will be available for valid associations. More people will also be able to figure out what diseases they are at risk for and take action, by changing their diet or lifestyle or by using medication. With more disease-gene associations, advocates say, clinicians can make earlier and more accurate diagnoses, and pharmaceutical companies can make more effective drugs.

"This is what I consider one of the most practical things we can do," said Church, who is 6 feet 4 inches tall, a vegan and has had a heart attack. "We're treating people like one size fits all, like anybody can work in an asbestos factory, anybody can eat peanuts, anybody can take this new antibiotic. It's just not true."

Monday, April 4, 1983

Watford recorded an emphatic victory over local rivals Luton Town at Vicarage Road, their first triumph in the derby fixture for more than a decade.

The Hornets came into the game on the back of a relatively poor run of three defeats in four games and were 2-1 down at one stage after Luther Blissett had provided an early lead.

Richard Jobson scored a fine equaliser shortly before half-time however, and the visitors were blown away by a second-half performance that saw further goals from Blissett, John Barnes and Nigel Callaghan cement a 5-2 victory.

The result left the visitors in severe relegation trouble.

Wests Tigers 34 Manly 18

Wests Tigers win spiteful NRL clash against Manly Sea Eagles

Those doubting whether the Wests Tigers were the new schoolyard bullies of the NRL after their round-three demolition of South Sydney were left red-faced after a boilover at Leichhardt Oval on Sunday.

The baby Tigers – the new kids on the block – bashed, barged and bullied their way over the top of perennial nigglers Manly to claim one of the best regular-season victories in the joint-venture club's short history.

The 34-18 win at a wet and windy Leichhardt Oval has confirmed Mick Potter's men as genuine finals contenders, stunning a Manly team that has built a reputation as the competition's premier intimidators.

Led by Aaron Woods, who received a standing ovation when he left the ground, and accompanied by James Gavet and Martin Taupau, the Tigers out-muscled, out-enthused and out Manly-ed the Sea Eagles in front of 16,311 fans.

Captain Robbie Farah was at his menacing best, while boom halfback Luke Brooks showed he was more than capable of mixing it with the big boys in defence.

Losing Glenn Stewart before the game couldn't be used an excuse for the Sea Eagles given they overcame South Sydney without him and played the majority of last week's win against the Roosters with him on the bench suffering from concussion.

Even with Brett Stewart returning from injury, the Sea Eagles were never in the contest.

Tigers fullback James Tedesco rolled his ankle in the first half and was given a pain killing injection at half-time, however he succumbed to the injury early in the second half.

Plenty of words were exchanged between the two teams and an all-in brawl – at least by the modern-day ''no punch'' standard – erupted after a Tigers try in the first half.

The match also had a dose of controversy, with Manly scoring their first try in contentious fashion.

The clock on the scoreboard had expired for half-time, however the automated siren failed to go off, allowing Kieran Foran enough time to kick across field to the charging Jamie Lyon.

A manually released siren was sounded, however referee Ashley Klein told a furious Farah that he didn't hear it.

"You can't just say you didn't hear it," Farah said to Klein while the video referees reviewed the try.

"It's not a good enough excuse, you just can't say you didn't hear it."

The skipper opened the scoring for the TIgers after eight minutes, chasing down his own grubber to give his side a 6-0 lead.

A penalty against Anthony Watmough for not being square at marker gave Pat Richards an easy penalty goal, before David Nofoaluma scored the first of his two tries to give the Tigers a 14-0 lead.

Manly halfback Daly Cherry-Evans was then placed on report after kneeing Liam Fulton to the head in a tackle, with Fulton replying with a short ball to put Chris Lawrence over in the ensuing set.

Another short ball from close range, from Farah to Woods, made it 26 unanswered points in 32 minutes for the home team.

Manly's dubious try before half-time reduced the deficit to 20 points, but when Nofoaluma scored his second try of the afternoon, any hope of a Manly comeback faded with it. Steve Matai bagged a double but it was to no avail as the Tigers held on to record their third win of the year.

Tigers five-eighth Braith Anasta might be in doubt for next week after he was placed on report for a shoulder charge on Manly winger David Williams.

The Darkest Day: Eclipse to leave KY in the dark; sparks fears - News, Weather & Sports

The Darkest Day: Eclipse to leave KY in the dark; sparks fears of alien encounters

Hopkinsville, Kentucky Hopkinsville, Kentucky
An animation of an Eclipse. An animation of an Eclipse.

HOPKINSVILLE, KY (WAVE) - Mark your calendars. An astronomical event not seen in many lifetimes is edging closer and Kentucky will get a front row seat.

"I think this will take our area by surprise. I don't know that everyone knows how big this will be," explained Jim Hunter, a professor at Hopkinsville Community College.

How big it can be is judged by the fact we are discussing it five years in advance, a total solar eclipse is coming August 21, 2017 just after lunch  time.

"Eclipses are a big deal across the world and we found how much of a tourist attraction they can be," said Hunter.

A solar eclipse is when the moon passes directly in front of the sun casting a shadow on earth - a shadow that has not covered this much of the United States since the early 1900s, but there's one spot on Earth that will experience that shadow for the longest period, and that spot happens to be right on the northwest side of Hopkinsville.

At 1:30 in the afternoon that August day you will need a flashlight to get around.

"The sky will basically turn to night since there will be no sunlight--blocked by the moon--the stars will come out.  The temperature will get cold. Two minutes and forty seconds at its longest point," said Scott Bain with the Hopkinsville Community College.

That 2 minutes and 40 seconds is 40 seconds longer than it takes to complete a running of the Kentucky Derby, and perhaps just as exciting for us,  and astronomers who have waited a lifetime for this event.

It is a huge feat for this town of 32,000 which is about 3 hours southwest of Louisville.  Hunter said, "We knew we needed to get some things started so that the community will be ready in 2017 when the eclipse occurs."

Louisville is expected to lose 96 percent of the sun, less north, higher south.

But if you miss this one don't panic.  Another total eclipse will affect our area on April 8, 2024.

The date August 21 may ring a bell for some, especially for Hopkinsville.  While covering the eclipse story I uncovered an interesting twist that not only raised my eyebrows, but even the ones of famed movie director Steven Spielberg.

It seemed like a horror story for one Kentucky family, the Sutton family. All 11 of them gathered in their house on August 21, 1955.

It was just after sunset less than a quarter of a mile down this road in Kelly Kentucky where Mr. Sutton went out to the well.  Shortly after that a night of terror began for the family.

Sutton said he witnessed a large object in the sky and ran into the house and alerted his family.

"Nobody would believe him--but they believed him later on because it wasn't very long after that--little things started peeking in the windows at them.  Like they were trying to get in," explained Geraldine Stith.

The little things were later described as three foot beings with big glowing eyes, huge ears and long arms down to the ground. The family grabbed some guns and started shooting.

"They would shoot once out of the tree, one off the fence.  They kept popping up, it was like three or four of them," Stith recalled.

The family was taunted until around 11:15 that night. When Sutton saw the chance to escape, he made a run for help, but when they arrived there was nothing but dozens of bullet holes in the home and what was described as a glowing substance on nearby bushes.

Stith said, "But when they would walk up to it, it would like go away. When they walked away they would see it glowing."

Emergency officials left the property and the creatures returned until sunrise.  The family moved 14 days later.

The incident lead to inspiration for Hollywood  Director Steven Spielberg who has noted the Kelly incident helped him creating creatures like E.T. and Gremlins.

But now the date shares the same as the approaching eclipse, leaving many spooked.

"There is still a few that think they could come back," said Stith.

Whether the science of the eclipse intrigues you or it's the popular alien encounter incident there is no doubt that many eyes will be on Kentucky that August afternoon.

Man Sentenced To 55 Years For Killing Stepdaughter
Updated May 5, 2013 12:11 AM | Filed under: WBIW News
 Print    Archive    RSS

(BOONVILLE) - A southwestern Indiana man has been sentenced to 55 years in prison after being convicted of murder in the death of his 15-year-old stepdaughter.

Warrick Circuit Judge David Kelley also sentenced 35-year-old Ryan Lee Shelby of Rockport to 1 1/2 years for obstruction of justice and one year each for two counts of false informing.

The body of Alexis Oesterle was found behind a shed in the backyard of their home about 30 miles southeast of Evansville less than two hours after Shelby reported her missing on Nov. 2, 2009. She bled to death after her throat was cut.

WFIE and the Evansville Courier & Press reported the defense maintained Shelby's innocence and said it will appeal his May convictions.

The trial was moved to Warrick County because of pretrial publicity.

Deputies: 8-year-old shot grandmother after playing video game

Related Story

SLAUGHTER - Sheriff's deputies said Friday afternoon, an eight-year-old intentionally shot his grandmother in the back of the head minutes after playing the video game "Grand Theft Auto IV."

Investigators said the child, who was not identified, shot Marie Smothers while she watched TV. Smothers, 90, was the child's current caregiver.

"It's a shock to me just as much as anyone else because everything has been so peaceful, Mrs. Smothers was a fine tenant, never give us no trouble, called all the time," said trailer park owner Gerald Methvin.

Deputies said the juvenile originally told them he was playing with the gun when it went off, but today said they beleive he intentionally shot her in the head. They said they didn't have a motive for the shooting, but that the child was playing "Grand Theft Auto IV" minutes before the shooting.

The game is rated "M" for mature audiences, and recommended for ages 17 and older.

The gun used in the shooting belonged to Smothers. While neighbors said they are keeping the family in their prayers, it did raise questions.

"Where did she have the gun, where did he see the gun, was it in his eyesight? That's the thought that goes through my head," explained Johnnie Scott.

Sheriff's deputies said the child and Smothers had a "normal, loving, relationship" and shared the same bedroom.

"Crime and everything is eventually come out our way and we know that," Methvin continued. "But I'd sure hate to see it go that way because we enjoy it, we'd like for it to be a peaceful place for people to live and raise their families, there's been a number of people here that do that."

Georgia Ready to Train More Parole Officers

Local parole officers say it's about time. From where they live to where they work, parole officers appear to track a convicted felon's every move.

Perry Price says the addition of new officers is always welcomed.

Perry Price, Assistant Chief of the Cairo Parole Office says, "The more hires we can get, the lower we can get our caseloads, the better supervision we can do."

Price works out of the state's parole office in Cairo. He says his office has one new officer currently going through the state's training for a very important job.

Mark Smith, Cairo Parole Officer, says, "We team up with the local law enforcement to gather intelligence on our parolees to make sure that the public is safe. Whenever we get intelligence that we believe would put our community in danger, we pass that on to local law enforcement and take the appropriate action."

State officials estimate that Georgia parole officers supervise about 22,000 felons, helping them make that important transition from behind bars to the outside world.

Price says, "We know where these people are and what they're doing and we're insuring that they’re living a law abiding lifestyle."

Caseloads for Georgia parole officers should continue to shrink. The state plans to train more officers again next year. It’s news that brings a smile to the face of Perry Price and his fellow officers.

Georgia's state Board of Pardons and Paroles says a total of 36 new parole officers are currently going through this year's training.

Bell Ringing at The Bell Tower Evesham

Bells 12

Tenor Weight 35-2-20

Practice Times Wednesdays 1930-2100

Sunday Service Ringing 0915-1000

Location SP037437 Lat/Lon 52.09137; -1.94725; Map

Peals Felstead Peals

Parking: this can be difficult on a Saturday. Please don’t try parking in the churchyard if the gates are open Firstly it clogs up the churchyard and makes it very difficult for those with cars that are meant to be in there to get in or out; and secondly you are likely to be locked in there if the last of the locals to leave doesn’t recognise the car(s). There are few public car parks nearby: Merstow Green which is the large open area directly across the road from the Church Gates in Vine Street and its adjoining long-stay park with a coach area; Riverside Shopping Centre multi-storey is close to the Tower and is reached by driving over the Workman Bridge (the older of the two) from the SE side of the town; and Oat Street car park which is bounded by Oat Street and the one-way system of Swan Lane and Mill Street. All of these charge. There is free parking on the sides of Vine Street and High Street but these are mostly for 30 minutes; and you will be lucky to get one of these slots on a Saturday unless it is late afternoon.

Tower access etc: the entrance door is in the south wall. Go through the gate in the iron railings surrounding the tower. All ringing parties are met so there’s no hunting around for the key releasing clock hammers and anything else. The lower Ringing Room is reached via a fairly short spiral stone staircase. All the steps are nicely wide and in excellent condition (no worn edges). There’s a handrail to assist. The lower Ringing Room is where the bells were rung prior to 1976. A new floor was installed then to form the upper Ringing Room. This is reached via a straight set of wooden steps with handrail but tall people need to watch their head on one of the beams.

Public lavatories: there are some in the public car park at Merstow Green and in Oat Street opposite the car park there. There are some at the Waterside end of the Workman Bridge too. A new public lavatory block has just been erected down Abbey Road near the Abbey Bridge (the one that looks like a coat-hanger); this is near the children’s playground - see below. In desperate (!) circumstances the person opening the Bell Tower is normally able to open up Church House for the facilities that exist in there (see below).

Public eating/drinking facilities: there are a number of public houses nearby each dispensing liquid refreshment of various types. The Trumpet in Merstow Green is a Hook Norton Ales pub. There is The Olde Swanne a Wetherspoone’s pub on the corner of High Street and Swan Lane which has a rather nice sheltered courtyard at the rear. Other pubs have various guest real ales on tap if this is your thing. Some pubs do food too from snacks to proper cooked meals. There are one or two fast food outlets in High Street. For those not wanting alcohol or fast food there is Butler’s in High Street on the same side as Barclay’s Bank. This has a small frontage but it goes back some way. It has waitress service and a wide range of meals and drinks can be supplied; from all-day breakfasts through cooked lunches to cream teas. A number of ringing parties have visited Butler’s and found it very acceptable. If all you want is a cup of tea and a cake or a scone in a cafe the Archway Cafe near Church House can serve you as can the small tearooms near Church Gates. Things do get more difficult if you are visiting early evening as many places close at 5.30pm or so.

Things to see or do if you are not ringing: there is the Park next to the Bell Tower. If you have young children and wish to tire them out let them run around in this large grassed space for half an hour or so. Unfortunately the swings and things which used to exist by the boating and paddling pool have been moved next to the viaduct leading to the Abbey Bridge which is at the far end of the field next to the Park. There is a public lavatory block nearby; and it is only a short walk back along Abbey Road to the Bell Tower. There is the Almonry Museum near Church Gates which has a very good section devoted to the once-mighty Evesham Abbey (the Bell Tower was the abbey campanile). There are the twin churches All Saints and St Lawrence which until 1979 used to serve as the Parish Churches one for each side of the High Street. St Lawrence is now with the Churches’ Conservation Trust.

If you fancy a pleasant walk go down Boat Lane at the far left end of Merstow Green to the hand-hauled ferry across the Avon at the end. A longer walk can be achieved by turning left before the ferry and walking along the river bank to either the Abbey Bridge and walking back up Abbey Road or continuing along the river bank towards the Workman Bridge and walking up to the Tower through the Park. This walk will take you past Great Hampton church (1948 Taylor 8 12cwt) which on the opposite side of the river. Through the summer there are river boat rides from the Park on "Handsam Too" which is (almost) an anagram of Tom Sandham who owns it and who is a ringer at the Bell Tower and nearby Badsey. There are the shops in High Street Bridge Street and Riverside Shopping Centre but don’t expect Oxford Street. Evesham may have a glorious ring of 12 but it is still very much a rural market town!

Church House: this is the half-timbered building next to All Saints’ Church (the one with the short tower and tall spire). It was extended a few years ago to provide quite impressive facilities inside. There is a well-equipped kitchen two large rooms male/female/disabled lavatories and a shower. It is insured for parties who wish to stay there overnight (in sleeping bags). Should any party wish to enquire more about using it (there is a hire-fee) and the facilities it offers please ring the Church Office on 01386-442213 weekday mornings or make contact via e-mail to:

All other matters relating to this Church such as Service times Weddings Funerals and Baptisms should be addressed to the local parish office. The telephone number and other details can be found via this link.

Importance of Meta Tags Optimization

You are welcome to write some review on the Importance of Meta Tags Optimization program. We welcome your suggestions that help us to improve money earnings...
Users opinion
Votes: 1
Rating: 2
Views: 719
13 th Jun 2004
In this article, we simply talk about what Meta Tags are, their importance, the important Meta Tags and useful tips on how to optimize your Meta Tags for a better ranking with the search engines.
“Meta Tag Optimization is an important aspect of your site optimization process. Careful handling can get you great Ranking Results ”
What are Meta Tags?

Meta Tags are the information inserted in the area of the HTML code of your web pages, where apart from the Title Tag, other information inserted is not visible to the person surfing your web page but is intended for the search engine crawlers. Meta Tags are included so that the search engines are able to list your site in their indexes more accurately.

Using Meta Tags in HTML is not necessary while making your web pages. There are many websites that don’t feel the requirement to use Meta Tags at all. In short Meta information is used to communicate information to the search engine crawlers that a human visitor may not be concerned with. Infoseek and AltaVista were the first major crawler based search engines to support Meta keywords Tag in 1996. Inktomi and Lycos too followed thereafter.

Why are Meta Tags used?

Meta Tags were originally designed to provide webmasters with a way to help search engines know what their site was about. This in turn helped the search engines decide how to rank the sites in their search results. Making Meta Tags is a simple process. As the competition increased, webmasters started manipulating this tool through spamming of keywords. In turn most search engines withdrew their support to Meta keywords Tag, which included Lycos and AltaVista. From being considered as one of the most reliable and important tool, Meta Tags are now often abused. In the present day scenario a vital feature that the Meta Tags provide to the websites is the ability to control, to a certain extent, how some search engines describe its web pages. Apart from this, Meta Tags also offer the ability to specify that a certain website page should not be indexed.

Using Meta Tags, however, provides no guarantee that your website page would rank highly in the search engine rankings. Due to the rampant abuse and manipulation of the Meta keywords Tag by webmasters, most search engines don’t support it anymore.

Types of Meta Tags

The more important Meta Tags are discussed below in detail.

The Title Tag

The Title Tag is not a Meta Tag. However, since it’s a very important Tag, we thought it necessary to discuss it here. The Title Tag is an HTML code that shows the words that appear at the top title bar of your browser. The Title Tag is not displayed anywhere else on the page. It is these words or phrase that appear as the title of your page in the hyperlink listings on the search engine results.

The users in-turn click on this hyperlink to go to your website from Search Engine Results Page (SERP). Therefore, the significance of the Title Tag is evident as all search engines use the Title Tag to gather information about your site.

The Meta Description Tag

The Meta Description Tag is an HTML code that allows you to give a short and concise summary of your web page content. The words placed in this Meta Tag, are often used in the SERP, just below the Title Tag as a brief description of your page. In the Search Engine Results Pages, after reading the Title of the page, a user goes through the description of the page and decides whether she wants to go to your site or not. It is therefore important that your Meta Description Tag is nicely composed describing your page offering while enticing the user to click on your listing.

The Meta Keywords Tag

Most search engines do not read the Meta Keywords Tag anymore. It is okay to ignore the Meta Keywords Tags. However, if you feel more comfortable using it, you can have about 15 important non-repetitive keywords in this Tag, separated by commas.

Meta Robots Tag

The Meta Robots Tag gives you the ability to specify whether search engines should index that page or follow the links appearing on that page. However, there is no need for using Meta Robots tag if one is already using detailed robots.txt file to block any specific indexing.

The various commands used under Meta Robots Tag are: Index: allows the spider to index that page.

Noindex: instructs the spider not to index the page.

Follow: instructs the spider to follow the links from that page and index them.

Nofollow: instructs the spider not to follow links from that page for indexing.

Note: Use only one of the above given commands.

If you have not specified any Meta Robots Tag on a page, by default, the spiders understand that the page and all the links appearing on that page are open for indexing. Therefore, it makes more sense to use this Meta Tag in case you don’t want certain parts of your web page indexed.

ie9 autocompleteOne of the most interesting and annoying features in Internet Explorer 9 (IE9) is the autocomplete (suggest bar) search bar that  automatically suggests those  URLs which are close to the website you are typing the address of. Such a auto-complete  address bar will show you a list (history) of all the previous searches you have performed, your favorites (bookmark) as well as all those websites and blogs you have previously visited. The autocomplete Web address bar is not a new feature as it existed in old Internet Explorer versions. However, in this latest IE9 it has been enhanced and improved. The downside of it is that it might create some embarrassment while typing an URL thus posing a threat to your privacy. This brief tutorial will show you how to turn it off and delete its history database from all its entries.

If you want to turn off the auto complete  web address bar, follow these simple steps.

  1. Turn on IE9.
  2. Click the Gear icon located on the right side of the window,close to the Home button.
  3. From the menu,click the Internet Options.
  4. Click the Content tab.
  5. Under the Autocomplete section, click the Settings tab.
  6. Under Autocomplete for, untick the Address Bar checkbox.
  7. Click OK.

If you wish to clear and delete the autocomplete History, follow steps 1 to 5, then:

  1. Under Autocomplete for, untick the Delete Autocomplete History … button
  2. Click OK.

That's the effort it took for me to sit and play with felt for an hour this morning. Oh the things I had to ignore, stuff down, turn off. And I am not really an overly busy person. If I have a concrete task, it's done before I can even write it on my to-do list. But if I want to just fart around in my craftroom I can't seem to fit it in.

Ok, now I'm just staring out the window again. This is what I revert back to whenever I get stuck with something in my day. I feel like flippin Walter Mitty. I need a mean Adam Scott to throw paper clips at me and snap me back to it. Sorry, we just watched that movie the other night. We all enjoyed it, 4 Lang thumbs up!

Shrimp and Asparagus Salad

I love this recipe. It's perfect for that elegant luncheon with friends. The shrimp are tender and succulent, the asparagus is perfectly blanched to keep that slight crunch and the walnuts are the delicious added touch!

1 pound thin asparagus, trimmed and cut to 2 inch pieces
1 medium red onion, sliced
2 cloves fresh garlic minced finely
1 cup walnuts, chopped and then lightly toasted in a skillet
salt and pepper to taste

Blanch asparagus in boiling water for about 1 minute then plunge in bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Drain well.   Toast walnuts in a skillet over low heat for about 3 minutes making sure not to burn. Set aside.

In a large bowl add the chilled asparagus, sliced onions, shrimp, garlic and the toasted walnuts. Toss with chilled Lemon Dill Vinaigrette and season to taste if needed.

Lemon Dill Vinaigrette

Waldorf Salad

Tender chunks of chicken with granny smith apples, grapes, celery and walnuts to give it the perfect crunch.  Served on crisp buttery club crackers. So good this way but I made enough for later this week to serve on a nice soft buttery croissant or Kaiser roll. I love this salad and it's so easy to make.

Chicken Waldorf Salad

2 cups cooked rotisserie chicken breast, cubed
1 cup seedless red grapes, halved
1/2 Granny Smith apple, cored and cubed
1/2 cup celery, chopped
1/2 cup walnuts
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup vanilla yogurt
2 teaspoons lemon juice

Chef Salad With Homemade Ranch Dressing

I love a great salad and a chef's salad is one of my favorites.  And what's a salad without homemade dressing.  I like blue cheese but this time I went with my homemade ranch dressing.  Oh Yum!

Chef Salad With Homemade Ranch Dressing

1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
1 cup cooked ham, sliced into strips
1 cup cooked turkey, sliced into strips
3 medium whole fresh tomatoes, quartered

At least an hour before serving the salad, wash and dry the salad greens, and tear into bite-size pieces.  Wrap in paper towel, and place in refrigerator. Meanwhile, get your other ingredients ready. Peel and slice hard-boiled eggs.

Place lettuce in large bowl. Toss lettuce to lightly coat leaves with dressing.  Add more dressing if necessary and salt and black pepper to taste. Add the remaining ingredients and toss lightly. Serve chilled.

Ranch Dressing

1 cup of Hellman’s or Dukes Mayonnaise
½ cup sour cream
½ teaspoon dried chives
½ teaspoon dried parsley
½ teaspoon dill weed
¼ teaspoon garlic powder

Orange-Honey Sticky Wings

I am not into spicy hot wings. But I love sweet sticky wings like honey or honey mustard. Last year for the big Super Bowl game, I made the regular hot and spicy wings as usual, but I also came up with my own version of sticky wings with orange and honey and they were a huge hit!

Orange-Honey Sticky Wings

2 pounds fresh chicken wings, cut in 2 pieces at joint or 2 pounds frozen chicken wings, thawed.
1 16 oz. can of frozen orange juice, thawed.
1/2 cup packed dark brown sugar
1/2 cup honey
2 tablespoons dark sesame oil
4 cloves of finely chopped garlic
A dash of Worcestershire sauce
A pinch or two of red pepper flakes if you like them hot and spicy too!

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine honey, sesame oil, Worcestershire sauce, orange juice, brown sugar, and garlic in large bowl. Toss in your chicken wings. Arrange two 9 x 13 baking pans with your wings. Brush wings with a little additional sauce and cover with foil.

Bake wings at 350 degrees for 20 minutes. Remove foil and turn wings over and brush with more sauce. Bake uncovered for another 20 minutes. Increase oven temperature to broil. Broil wings close to broiler element, turning occasionally, for 8 minutes or until sauce is thickened. Remove wings to a serving dish and spoon more sauce from the foil over top.

Nacho Scoops

Listen, I'm all about throwing parties but I don't like to do a lot of work. So I am constantly looking for simple ideas that taste great and take minutes to make.  Put a tray of these little morsels out for the next football game and count how many times you have to put out a new tray! They are delicious. They are addicting.  Lately I have gotten very creative with what I fill them with but for now I will start off with the basic recipe.  If you can call it that!

Nacho Scoops

1 bag of Tostitos Scoops
2 cups of Mexican Blend cheese
1/2 pound of ground beef

In a large skillet, brown the beef and salt and pepper to taste.  Drain off all fat from beef and set aside in a separate bowl.

Lay out scoops in a baking dish. Choose any size depending on how many you're making.

Fill scoops with ground beef and top with cheese.

Add cheese up over the top of the scoops as it will melt down.

 Bake in a 350 oven until cheese is melted. Serve warm!

Now let's talk about what  you can add to these if  you want to be creative:

Chili with or without beans
shredded chicken
different cheeses
refried beans
chili peppers
hot sauce
lettuce and tomato
sour cream

The sky's the limit!

Caramel Cream Cheese Spread

Need a quick appetizer when unexpected guests arrive?  I'm almost embarrassed to call this a's more like a tip!  This is my go to when I'm caught totally off guard!  I literally throw this together in 2 minutes and they love it!

Caramel Cream Cheese Spread

1 (8 ounce) block of cream cheese
1 jar of caramel sauce (I use ice cream topping)
toffee bits or chopped pecans

bread rounds, crackers, sliced apples, pears, pretzels for serving

Place cream cheese on a pretty serving plate. Pour as much caramel topping as you want evenly over cream cheese and let it run down the sides. Sprinkle with a nuts or toffee bits.

Oh Yum!  It's especially good served with sliced apples or pears.

Not impressed, Not enough staff.
Their office was one of the quietest, most peaceful places I've ever visited. I was able to relax very easily. They always go above and beyond to help me with anything I need. They never complain about anything, and I know I can always count on them. They had a huge selection of magazines in the waiting room. I was able to find some of my favorites and they kept me entertained while I was waiting for my appointment.

Taste Buds: Rolling Stone Burrito

By Jamie North
On October 24, 2013

  • Rolling Stone Burrito. Bob Marley Quesadilla mini with nachos.

In May of 2008, a new restaurant opened its doors to the Cullowhee community, an eatery called Rolling Stone Burrito. Described as a, "leap of faith" by owner Suzanne Stone, the restaurant has been a huge success with the community.

Stone, along with her husband and Western Carolina University professor Wes Stone, wanted to bring a hometown burrito place to the community. After living in Texas where burrito places were everywhere, Stone wanted to bring a piece of that to her new mountain home.

Wes Stone did all the restaurants designs, such as the logo, and construction for the shop as Suzanne Stone took care of the business itself.

Rolling Stone offers everything you would expect from a traditional burrito restaurant. You can get burritos, Quesadillas, nachos and soft tacos.

The restaurant is also home to the $5.55 burrito or burrito bowl, which comes with chips/salsa or a cup of rice and beans. One may choose which salsa and add items such as sour cream, cheese, meat and guacamole among other items. Choices of meat are pulled pork, Black Angus beef and white meat chicken. All of their burritos can also be made vegetarian.

Rolling Stone also offers specialty burritos all of which come with cheese, rice, beans, lettuce or spinach. Some of their specialty burritos range from the Loaded Banjo Boy, which also comes with pulled pork, queso, grilled onions and a choice of salsa for $7.85, to their Bob Marley, which comes with grilled plantains, sour cream and jerk sauce for $6.75. One can also get the Bob Marley also as a Quesadilla.

Rolling Stone Burrito is most famous for its Fire in the Hole burrito, the hottest burrito one can possibly order from the menu. It is made with "3 levels of hot sauce" said by Suzanne Stone and only offered on Fridays.

"Only about 1 in 10 people can finish the burrito," said Suzanne Stone.

If you feel up to the challenge, you will get your picture taken and added to the Wall of Fame along side the countless others who have attempted the challenge.

For those not looking to spend a lot of money, Rolling Stone also offers a cheap eats menu where every item is less than $6. Items include a basket of chips and two salsas for $1.99 and a bean taco with chips and a drink for $4.63.

An interesting item that Rolling Stone also offers is their Puffy Chips, cut up taco shells that have been fried to perfection. Many patrons come just for those chips.

Rolling Stone Burrito makes all of its salsas and sauces daily. They have a variety of five different salsas: the Stone Bros, a mild red salsa; Cool Buzz, a creamy chipotle with a kick; Pico, fresh tomato, onion and cilantro; and Big Kahuna, pineapple cilantro salsa.

This reporter was treated to the Loaded Banjo Boy with their Cool Buzz sauce and a mini Bob Marley Quesadilla. The food was very delicious and spicy. The puffy chips tasted amazing. The restaurant also offers bottles of its Blaze sauce to add to your food, which is great for those spicy food lovers. One can also buy a bottle of Blaze or Fire sauce to take home for $4.99.

If you are looking for that classic burrito restaurant, there is no better place than Rolling Stone Burrito. For more information, you can call 828-293-7200 or visit their Facebook page.

‘Cats Beat Trinity; Pummeled By Cee-Bees

Paden City Visits Wheeling Central Thursday For Second Chance

March 12, 2014
By Bruce Crawford , Wetzel Chronicle

Paden City 69,

Trinity 52

The Paden City Wildcats raced out to a commanding 23-7 advantage after eight minutes of play and never looked back, winning 69-52 over Morgantown Trinity March 4, in the Region I, Section II semifinals inside the Magnolia High School HammerDome.

Article Photos

The Wildcats' big three - Zach Heasley, Luke Cooper, and Kennedy Cain - combined to score 57 of the 'Cats' 69 points, with Heasley scoring a game-high 24 points that included a trio of baskets from beyond the arc. He also pulled down seven boards and dished out four assists. Cain followed with a double-double, 18 points and 14 rebounds, while Cooper added a double-double of his own, 15 points and 11 rebounds.

In addition, Craig Allen chipped in with six markers, while Hayden Hizer contributed three points and dished out a game-high seven assists. Deven Price finished off the Paden City scoring with a charity toss.

"The key was making a few shots early and sustaining it," said Paden City Head Coach Fred King. "The kids played pretty poised. Every time Trinity would make a run, and cut their deficit back to 14 points, we would make a couple of baskets. We had an answer for everything they threw at us tonight."

Clay-Battelle 79,

Paden City 48

The Clay-Battelle Cee-Bees held a commanding 15-2 lead during the first quarter, used good shooting and a stifling zone defense to run the Wildcats off the court in the first half for a 40-13 advantage March 7 at the MHS Gymnasium.

The pummeling continued in the third period before the Wildcats woke up and scored more points in the final period than they did in the first three periods combined, to make the game a little more respectable in a 79-48 loss in the Region I, Section II Sectional championship.

Cain scrored a game-high 25 markers, including five bonus baskets, while Hizer chipped in 10 points, including three baskets from beyond the arc. Hizer also added a team-high six rebounds, while hijacking three Cee-Bee balls. Cooper landed one basket from long range, one jumper from the top of the key, and a free throw for six points, while Heasley was held to only a threeball. Price and Allen each finished the Wildcat scoring with a deuce each.

"For some reason, we spent a lot of time throwing the ball east and west and not attacking the basket," said Paden City Head Coach Fred King. "That wasn't our plan, but they forced us to do it. They are very long and very athletic and they just shut us down.

"I think we played very well the other night against Trinity, a team Clay-Battelle had some trouble with and it gave them a little respect for us. They knew they had to bring their "A" game, and they did. They hit us hard and early, and it was a knockout in the first round. We just never got off the deck."

While down, but not out, the Paden City Wildcats will still have a chance to move on to the state tournament next week when they travel up river to Wheeling, where they will face the WVSSAC top Class-A team, Wheeling Central, tonight at 7 p.m. in the Region I Regional Co-Championship. The winner of that contest will move on to the state tournament next Thursday.

Meanwhile, Clay-Battelle will host Bishop Donahue at 7 p.m. in Blacksville Thursday with the winner moving on to the state tournament, as well.
