KANSAS CITY – They're not your Uncle Fred and Aunt Ethel's stockbrokers. Six eighth graders at Visitation School, with some computer savvy, an interest in current events and a sense of what they liked and what they didn't, took first place in Missouri in the Stock Market Game. They also have a social studies teacher who encouraged them to think about what they learned and didn't dissuade his students from occasionally going with gut feelings.
The Stock Market Game was introduced in 1977, and since then more than 10 million students have participated. The online game challenges students in elementary and high school to research stocks and markets and put together a portfolio whose value increases over and above an initial (virtual) $100,000 investment. Teams trade common stocks and mutual funds from the NYSE, Nasdaq and AMEX exchanges, earn interest on cash balances, pay interest if they buy stock on margin and pay commissions on all their trades. More than 700,000 students world wide participated this year, including 742 teams in Missouri. The winning portfolio amassed the highest value by the New York Stock Exchange's closing bell April 8.
The Visitation team, Will Ridge, Carsen Pace, Keegan McRoberts, Catherine Whitmer, Knox Plute and Kathleen Schrader, first heard about the Stock Market Game from their social studies teacher, David Camerlinck, who learned of it through Visitation principal Vince Cascone.
Camerlinck said the team discussed their interests and that helped them assemble a diverse portfolio. The game "stops you, right at the beginning, from investing in anything dealing with alcohol or questionable stocks," so social responsibility in investing was not an issue. The kids worked together as a team and everybody had a say in the companies they chose to invest in.
The team's portfolio included The Gap, Whole Foods, Coca Cola, HerbaLife and a fuel company. Their research had shown that The Gap had a high quarter and Coca Cola was a block buster during the NCAA tournament, so that one was a slam dunk.
During the 10-week game period, the team learned how political factors and current world events influence the stock markets. Camerlinck said his students learned that when things went bad, changes should be made quickly. They also discovered how current events affected the stock market, such as the earthquake, tsunami and radiation scares in Japan, the U.S. political picture at the beginning of the year, and the rebellion and unrest in the Middle East, particularly Libya.
Midway through the game, the team was floundering a bit. Some of the stocks weren't doing as well as the kids thought they would. A Visitation school parent, John Mateski, came and talked to the team about stocks and investing from a business point of view.
The team started thinking a bit differently, began tweaking some of their investments, increasing some amounts and decreasing others.
After the closing bell sounded at the NYSE on April 8, the Visitation team learned they had come in first in the state – their portfolio was valued at $110,914.24, just $78.80 more than the second place team. That's an 11 percent return on their investments in just 10 weeks.
A second team from Visitation School took second place out of 18 teams in the regional contest.
The first place team was to attend a dinner and awards ceremony on April 21.
Will said he is beginning to consider the possibility of choosing investment as a career.

KOBE BRYANT RUCKER PARK STREETBALL July 18, 2002
Kobe Bryant Streetball at Rucker Park
New York City's Rucker Park hosts the most fun streetball imaginable. Thursday night, the Entertainer's Basketball Classic (EBC), the park's main summer league, presented a matchup of Murda Inc. against The Source, with some very special guest players. Inside Hoops (.com) editor Jeff Lenchiner was in the house to take in the action. Enjoy this exclusive report on Kobe Bryant playing streetball in Harlem.
On one team was Mr. Los Angeles himself, Kobe Bryant. He showed up early, and his squad was ready to go for the 6pm tipoff. Things were delayed, because the other team was late. It was worth the wait, because when they did arrive, Moochie Norris of the Houston Rockets, Jerome Williams of the Toronto Raptors and Maryland's Byron Mouton were with them.
It was on, Harlem-style.
Two non-NBA players who showed nice skills were Prime Objective and Greg Jones.
All night, Moochie Norris kept firm control of the ball and threw some beautiful passes, showing more flashy skills as the game went on. On fast breaks, "Muh-muh-muh-muh-Moochie" kept things fun, going behind the back, faking one way and throwing no-look passes the other. Norris unleashed showmanship we haven't had the pleasure of seeing him display on the Houston Rockets.
And, for those who keep score at home, Norris' famous afro was contained, and braided. Maybe he'll unleash it next time.
Jerome Williams showed outside touch, and some better-than-expected dribbling ability.
Kobe Bryant, the true star of the evening, had a tense look on his face and was pretty tight out there to start things off, but he loosened up as the night progressed. Early on, his teammates were not taking full advantage of the fact that he was on their team. When Kobe did have the ball, and multiple defenders focused too tightly on him, the live announcer yelled "No double teams! No double teams!" - correctly pointing out that the crowd wants isolations, which open up the possibilities for crazy moves and penetration for dunks.
Some of Kobe's highlights:
- In one play, Kobe was isolated on the right side of the court for a while, put on a nasty dribbling exhibition while playing to the crowd, drives to the basket, got bumped, but in mid-air pulled the ball under the basket for a beautiful reverse layup.
- The very next play, Kobe dribbled, swung the ball behind his back, but then extended further and threw a no-look pass to a teammate for a layup.
- Lots of drives with serious hang-time for layups - mostly reverses, similar to the first play above.
- Sweet passes, including alleyoops from Kobe to his teammates.
- A three-pointer from far beyond the line.
- Fun dribbling exhibitions, showing off a few tricks, and a sick handle.
Kobe did blow one big play, an open fast break with no defenders back. He tried to go through the legs for the dunk, but blew it and missed. That drew some clowning from the sidelines.
All game long, a heckler that was under the basket Kobe was defending was talking trash, yelling that Bryant is overrated and not stepping up to play. The heckler was loud, and even got Kobe's attention (though Kobe tried not to show it), at one point declaring that Bryant wasn't bringing it hard like he should. Hannibal, a Rucker announcer, went over to quiet the heckler down. When the second half began, and Kobe's team was now shooting at the basket near the heckler, Bryant began the half with the ball. A whistle stopped the action. The very next play, Kobe was working around the paint with the ball, cleared some room with an elbow, and then went up and threw down a dunk that looked much better in person than it did on television highlights you may have seen. He then glared straight at the heckler, who was almost directly behind that basket, and glared at him while backpeddling down the court. The crowd went nuts, pointing and talking trash at the heckler, who, at least for a few moments, seemed slightly humbled.
Steve Francis showed up during the game, but he's busy healing and was just there to hang out and watch. The crowd went nuts upon his arrival, chanting "Suit up! Suit up!" over and over, but it wasn't going to happen tonight.
"Three Rings," as the live announcer called Kobe (almost everyone at Rucker Park who really matters gets a nickname), got far more comfortable as the game progressed. He didn't bring it hard all night, but still put on a good show and produced some sweet plays that the crowd loved. Kobe Bryant had 15 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists when the game got called in the second half on account of rain.
For those of you who pay attention to the sneakers that your favorite basketball stars wear, as InsideHoops.com originally reported, Kobe was wearing Nike sneakers for the game. He last shoe deal was with Adidas, but that recently ended.
After the game, Inside Hoops recorded these comments from Kobe Bryant: "The atmosphere was cool, it took me back to playing in Philadelphia, playing on the parks... There's no atmosphere like Rucker..."
"I had a good time, I look forward to coming down here again next time."
When asked if he had fun tonight, InsideHoops.com recoreded these words from Kobe: "I had a lot of fun, you know, it's all about the game, coming out and playing, too bad it was raining..."
When asked about how the Lakers may feel about Kobe playing in a streetball game, Kobe said "They say be careful, they're really good about things like that... They just want you to be careful, and stay on your feet."
How much does Kobe know about Rucker history?" A lot," he said. "That's why I'm here today."
Rain did end this one early, but the night was fun while it lasted.

How accessible are you when it may matter the most?
Whether your businesses is serving customers or clients, we all know that communication is an integral part of delivering good service. Often times when we think about how effectively we communicate with our customers or clients, we think about it in the context of our communicating information back to them once the relationship has been established.
What about when a potential customer or client first tries to reach you to obtain your services? Or, when they have to call your office to reach you or someone who assists you? How accessible are you then?
Earlier this morning I tried calling to reach my children's' pediatrician to schedule an appointment. After nearly 10 minutes on the telephone working my way through the automated phone system, I was finally able to speak to a real live human being who told me she would have to reach someone who could pull child's chart and then call me back. Nearly 10 minutes and she couldn't even help me! Really? Are you serious?
e scheduling an appointment with Pebbles' pediatrician by chipping a note out of stone and having it delivered by a pterodactyl!
I literally had to go through the Kafkaesque maze of (1) dialing into one number to (2) then be given a set of options which (3) took me to another set of options before (4) being placed on hold and then (5) for some ungodly reason, being transferred back to the original option that I first called into and having to go through the entire process all over again before (6) finally getting to speak to a real live human being who, predictably, was unable to help me but (7) was able to take my name and number to pass along to someone who, presumably, could help me.
Unfortunately, it is not uncommon. Yet consumers have continued to accept this kind of treatment by those who are purportedly serving them. Why? I really like my children's pediatrician. I have used her for years. I think she is a really good pediatrician who is very knowledgeable and takes very good care of the children.
I hate calling her office. I hate trying to reach her. I am tired of dealing with the frustration of trying to communicate with her office. This isn't the first time but it should be the last.
I know that many businesses now believe that having an automated telephone answering system is a good way to reduce costs and overhead but I have to wonder, how much business is ultimately lost because of frustration by those who are calling in to obtain their services and just want to speak to a real live human being who can and will take care of their needs.
Frustrating, isn't it? But, what about you? When someone is trying to obtain your services, are you like my children's pediatrician or are you accessible?

FOOTBALL: Mangeney still going strong as statistician
Kevin Callahan
@CP_KCallahan
Gordie Lockbaum finished third in the Heisman Trophy race as a senior for Holy Cross in 1987, so he knows how valuable statistics are to the voters.
But the star running back was introduced to the value of stats while playing at Glassboro High School.
Chug Mangeney has been keeping statistics for the Bulldogs since even before Lockbaum and Sean Redman starred on the undefeated 1983 team.
"He had reliable, professional level stats," Lockbaum said Monday from his home in Worcester, Mass., where he's been selling insurance for the last 26 years.
"The players and the coaches love having accurate stats because it just adds to the level of any program to have statistics you can rely on."
Mangeney, 64, has been doing the football stats for 45 seasons at Glassboro. He started in 1964 as an eighth-grader and strolled the sidelines for five seasons for coach Jim Doyle. He attended Lycoming College and did stats for four years, saying "at that point, I knew I enjoyed it."
He's been doing the stats continuously since 1976 at Glassboro.
"I used to run to get in position for punts, but now I'm happy to see where the ball lands," Mangeney joked.
"He's always reliable. He watches film to make sure the stats are correct," said current Glassboro assistant coach Tim Hagerty, a three-year starter at quarterback in the mid 2000's for the Bulldogs. "He is spot on.
"He brings up a story about like Gordie and Sean and remembers everything. It's really cool."
Mangeney, who has lived in Glassboro his entire life, got his nickname "Chug" from chugging milk as a kid from his father, Victor. He is also a Victor. The family owned Two Vic's Sports Stop for years in Glassboro.
He also has his own cool stories.
"I was knocked down one time," Mangeney said. "It was against Gloucester Catholic in 1977 by Pete Lester. It was on a kick return and he was running up the sideline and a Gloucester Catholic kid blocked him and he came right into me.
"I was decleated."
Mangeney has walked the Glassboro sideline for all but one of an estimated 450 games.
"It was 1964, a rainy day against Pitman. That was the only game I did the press box," Mangeney said. "And we lost 13-0."
A realtor with Keller Williams in Washington Township, Mangeney has done stats for three generations of the Turner family.
"Otis Turner in 1967, Rob Turner in 1986 and Robert Turner was in the 2000's," Mangeney recited.
Mangeney paced the sideline with his clipboard for nine of the Bulldogs' 10 sectional titles.
"I can talk to them about stuff," Mangeney said about his relationship with the coaching staffs over the years. "I just know enough that I don't know enough to coach. I don't see how kids are working, what they are doing in practice. That is something I understood a long time ago."
Mangeney would like to keep stats for five more years to make it an even 50 seasons.
"When we lose a tough game and it bothers the heck out of me is why I know I still want to do it," Mangeney said. "If we lose a really tough game and it's not going to bother me, then I'm not invested enough."
The impact Mangeney has made can't be measured on the stat sheet.
"As a kid, everyone likes to know your yards, your tackles, your receptions and your interceptions," Lockbaum said. "Having that stuff available was neat."

Inverness A's win home-opener thriller over Mariners
Lefthander Kenzie MacPhail pitched a complete game 6-5 win for Inverness over Isle Madame on Sunday, along with hitting the game-winning RBI single in the bottom of the seventh inning.
-by Bill Dunphy
The Inverness Athletics pulled off a win in Sunday's home-opener that puts the Toronto Blue Jays to shame.
The A's played the Isle Madame Mariners in a Richmond Amateur Baseball Association doubleheader at the Ned MacDonald Memorial ball field.
And they were in a jam.
Having lost the first game 17-8, the A's sent lefthander Kenzie MacPhail to the mound in game two.
MacPhail was down 1-0 early, but by the third inning he was pitching a gem with a 3-2 lead. That lead held until the top of the seventh when it slipped away on some hard-hit balls that gave Isle Madame a 5-3 lead.
With the top of their order coming up in the bottom of the seventh, the A's went to work.
Leading off, Jonathan Gosbee hit a ball deep to left to leg out a double.
Corbin Beaton walked to put the potential tying run on base.
Mark Copley represented the winning run when he came to the plate and he didn't disappoint, lashing a two-run triple deep to right to tie the game 5-5.
Still with no outs and Copley on third, MacPhail took a couple of pitches before driving a shot over the head of the Mariners' shortstop for the 6-5 victory.
MacPhail was in the clean-up spot after a change in the lineup removed the designated hitter position and he was feeling the pressure of being in a position to help his own cause.
"It was tough giving up those runs in the seventh, but I knew we still had a chance with the top of our order coming up. Gosbee got the double, Corbin got on, and then our captain came up clutch," he said.
"It was all kind of there for me, but I was nervous stepping up to the plate. I took those couple of pitches to settle in, then got my hands around on a fastball and luckily it got out of the infield.
"It's a team game and a great feeling to win it like that," MacPhail said.
The top of the A's order was also on their game in the bottom of the third when Inverness took the 3-2 lead.
Gosbee, who probably gets plunked more often than any other player in the RABA, was hit by a pitch with one out. He stole second and went to third after Beaton reached on an error.
With Copley at bat, Gosbee scored on a passed ball before the A's coach delivered an RBI single to score Beaton. A veteran run-producer, Copley had six RBIs over the two games.
Damian MacInnis, who is back with Inverness after Port Hawkesbury took a leave of absence this season, drove in Copley with a single for the three-run inning.
The first game was one of those "one bad inning" games, in which Isle Madame scored eight runs in the fifth to put the game out of reach, despite Inverness coming back with four runs in the bottom of the fifth.
Gosbee and MacPhail each crossed the plate twice. Runs were also scored by Copley, Beaton, Iain Stewart, and Ali Delaney.
Copley had three singles in the game and drove in three runs. Sandy Sofan had a pair of base hits.
Stewart was tagged with the loss and Gosbee closed out the game on the mound.
The Inverness A's have no games scheduled this weekend and are in Petit de Grat on July 20 for two games against the Red Caps.
The A's are owed a number of games at home by teams that have cancelled on them. Two home games, in which the Red Caps were supposed to come to Inverness, were won by forfeit.
Not counting the games that are to be rescheduled, the A's next scheduled home games are on Aug. 3, when the Little Anse Hawks are in town.


Delhi Charter Township's mission is to provide a sense of community with prospering quality of life while continuing to ensure the health, safety, and welfare of its residents and other citizens who live, work, and engage in activities in our community.
Delhi Charter Township has mastered the art of balancing development and quality of life. A superb growing ground for children and teens, Delhi Township boasts four Michigan Exemplary Schools and Holt High School was recognized as one of the top 100 schools in the nation. And with Michigan State University next door, as well as Lansing Community College, Davenport College of Business, and Cooley Law School, we're at the center of lifelong learning.
Delhi Township manages 11 parks, over 100 acres, offering a variety of outdoor recreation opportunities including playgrounds, baseball diamonds, swimming, a sledding hill, a bike/skate park, and an outdoor amphitheater. There is also a beautiful trail system for walking, hiking, and biking. There are also three major hospital systems mere minutes away, and our proximity to Lansing and East Lansing offers countless cultural and entertainment opportunities to our residents.
Delhi Township's first settlers arrived in 1837 and the township was established on April 4,1842. Since then, this diverse community has matured into a vibrant blend of homes and businesses, with a population of just over 25,000.
While maintaining its small town atmosphere, Delhi Township offers many opportunities, whether personal, recreational, or business. It is home to many national and international companies which provide a broad range of products and services around the world.
A master land use plan is in place to ensure that the community continues to develop in a manner that provides the highest quality of life for those who reside here while assuring opportunities for businesses and those who will arrive.
Delhi Township Is Often Called "Holt"
Holt is one of the oldest unincorporated communities in Michigan and is located in the Charter Township of Delhi. Holt is neither a city nor a village. It is a zip code area. Holt was first named Delhi Center, but this conflicted with Delhi Mills in Washtenaw County. So in 1860 the name was changed to Holt, in honor of Postmaster General James Joseph Holt.
Delhi Township has eleven parks, which include a beachfront swimming area, a sledding hill, tennis courts, softball fields, basketball courts, playgrounds, trails, picnic areas and five pavilions to rent. Burchfield Park - an Ingham county park - is also located in Delhi Township. Located on Grovenburg Road on the Grand River, this park offers seasonal activities which include a winter toboggan run, bicycle trails, ski trails, hiking trails, a swim area, and general picnic areas.
Delhi Township has more than seventeen churches.
Delhi Township has excellent senior citizen housing and activities program, including the Sam Corey Senior Citizen Center.
Delhi Township has numerous service clubs which sponsor activities such as steak dinners, chicken barbecues, parades, and provide support to the Delhi Township Community.
Delhi Township has several shopping centers, banks, restaurants, and a variety of convenience stores, and local businesses.
Delhi Charter Township is located south of the City of Lansing. The central location provides easy access to Grand Rapids, Battle Creek, Detroit, Chicago, Toledo and points beyond. Delhi Township is only minutes from Michigan State University, Lansing's Capital City Airport and the center of state government.The boundaries for Delhi Township are Nichols Road on the south, Waverly Road on the west, College Road on the east, and then jogs along Jolly, Willoughby, and I-96 on the north. Annexations by the City of Lansing resulted in the jagged northern township boundary, leaving Delhi Township with 28.5 square miles.


I am troubled by news reports and statistics showing that crime in Berkeley has steadily increased over the past several years. Although the overall crime rate is lower today than it was a decade ago, the recent uptick – a trend replicated nationally – is worrisome and must be addressed. I, along with other council members, want to do everything we can to help the Berkeley Police Department not only fight crime, but be proactive in crime prevention.
Please know that improving public safety is a top priority and the City Council has been working over the last two months to address police staffing and increase resources for our Police Department.
I want to remind residents that in a "strong city manager" form of government such as ours, the mayor does not direct the day to day operations of the police or have any say on how the agency's resources are spent. However, I am here to support Police Chief Andrew Greenwood and work with him to address retention and recruitment, and address the uptick in crime.
While we work to be proactive in addressing crime, we also have to be careful to not jump to conclusions about who is behind these incidents. While the number of homeless have undoubtedly increased on our streets, there is no evidence that those without shelter are responsible for the vast majority of crime. In fact, the rise in assaults is directly attributable to last year's protests aggravated by people coming into our community to cause a ruckus and the theft increase has much to do with laptop thefts in our cafes. As housing prices soar, income inequality also rises, leaving many people lost and vulnerable. Ask any criminologist and they will tell you that the reasons behind any increase in crime are complex and cannot be boiled down to one simple answer.
Having said that, we absolutely need to assist our police department in retaining officers and identifying more resources to deal with the homeless so that officers are not continuously diverted. Ultimately, we want our residents to feel safe, our police to have the tools to do their jobs well and find appropriate spaces for the homeless that do not pose a risk to residents, businesses and schools while being realistic about our lack of shelter.
I want to commend Berkeley Police for making a number of high profile arrests in response to laptop thefts. We are committed to doing everything we can to make sure that our police continue their great work in keeping our community safe.
Thursday, March 15, 2018, 7-9pm.
Please join me, District 1 Councilmember Linda Maio, and BART Director Rebecca Saltzman for a community discussion on the suitability of North Berkeley BART Parking Lot as a site for housing. BART will present on the site's suitability for housing, given the presence of the tunnel underground, and discuss its transit-oriented development policies. This will be followed by questions and discussion.
Please note: No proposal has been introduced at this time to build housing on the parking lot. While a community group has circulated a rendering, it is their conceptual plan and is not being put forward by the City of Berkeley, BART or any housing developer. The aim of this meeting is to discuss the suitability of building housing on the parking lot and not any rezoning of the surrounding neighborhood.
This meeting is intended to be the beginning of a robust community process regarding any development on the North Berkeley BART Parking Lot. We look forward to your ideas as we begin this conversation!
Berkeley's infrastructure is rapidly deteriorating due to age and needs to be upgraded. Unfortunately, the city is facing a major deficit in stormwater capital improvements and cannot afford the $208 million in needed repairs. Storm drainage rates have not increased since 1991 and street lighting rates have not been increased since 1982. Our city cannot responsibly go forward without investing in the future safety of critical infrastructure.
To discuss increasing rates, the city will hold a community meeting on Thursday, March 22 at 6:30pm at 1947 Center Street , in the Multi-Purpose Room, located in the basement. Please watch for information in the mail and visit the City's webpage to learn more about streetlight and stormwater needs here . Improving our stormwater system will reduce flooding and limit how much stormwater empties into our creeks and bay.
On February 27, the Berkeley City Council voted to extend the Residential Curbside Electric Vehicle Charging Pilot until 2020. The pilot was created in 2014 in response to requests by property owners for conversion of front yard parking spaces into on-site chargers, and a demand for curbside chargers for properties without off-street parking. The pilot prioritizes new on-site charging spaces, and allows up to 25 curbside chargers. Curbside chargers would be available to any vehicle subject to posted street parking restrictions.
The purpose of the pilot is also to expand EV infrastructure in Berkeley. There are some 1,500 electric vehicles in our city, along with 14 charging stations. Level 2 charging ports, and 20 new Level 2 ports will be added at the new Center Street garage this year. Electric vehicles are central to Berkeley's Climate Action Plan since cars are responsible for 56% of our city's greenhouse gases (GHGs).
Under the Climate Action Plan, our city is working to reduce GHGs by 80% by 2050. In addition to the pilot, Berkeley is engaged in many initiatives to expand electric vehicles, including an EV Action Plan to outline further investments in green infrastructure such as chargers on city property, chargers accessible to multi-family properties, and EV car sharing.
With the recent announcement by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Director Thomas Homan that it will target as many as 1,500 people in Northern California, there has been a great deal of concern about what to do in case ICE comes into Berkeley. Thanks to Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf, we were able to notify East Bay residents about potential ICE raids in recent weeks. Despite that, over 200 people were still arrested. Of those, more than half did not have any prior criminal record. This is contrary to ICE's stated purpose that it will focus enforcement on dangerous and violent criminals. Not surprisingly, the recent ICE raids have sown fear, prompted children to miss days of school and have resulted in less trust between law enforcement and immigrant communities.
Berkeley has a long history as a Sanctuary City and is committed to educating everyone about their legal rights in the face of ICE arrests and deportations. We strengthened our sanctuary policy last year to make it clear that no police officer or city employee will communicate with ICE, share information, assist in arrests, or allow access to ICE agents, unless they have a judicial warrant.
We are also working to allocate $50,000 to legal providers to provide representation to anyone arrested or facing deportation, and are in constant communication with the Alameda County Immigration & Legal Education Partnership, which tracks raids, provides access to attorneys and trains ordinary people to monitor ICE activity in order to make sure residents' constitutional rights are not being violated.
No matter who the president is, everyone living in the United States has certain basic rights under the Constitution, including undocumented immigrants.

Just before Christmas, the City of Berkeley opened a nightly Winter Shelter at a city-owned warehouse at 1925 Ninth Street. The new shelter provides a safe and warm space for up to 90 individuals each night and is operated by Dorothy Day House. It includes restrooms on-site, meals, secure storage and allows individuals to bring their pets indoors. It has been at capacity almost every night, according to shelter operators. This is due to not only the cold winter season, but the growing number of homeless persons in our city. In addition to 1925 Ninth Street, the city will be opening a second shelter on an as-needed basis during inclement weather.
The expanded Winter Shelter program was funded by the City Council in December as part of a $2 million investment in new shelter and services to address the growing homeless crisis.
The shelter provides clothing donations and bedding to shelter residents. If you would like to help with the clothing drive, please drop by the Winter Shelter at 1925 Ninth Street/University after 6 p.m.
Raise permit fees to eliminate the Program's operating deficit.
Authorize new meters in West Berkeley to manage commercial parking adjacent to residences in mixed-use areas.
Read the proposed changes to the RPP program here .
Strengthen existing fire safety measures utilized by the City of Berkeley for the safety and well-being of its residents.
Strengthen existing fire education outreach efforts to make contact with more citizens by using both digital and paper media platforms.
City staff will prioritize those measures that can be implemented immediately and will achieve the most benefit towards fire safety. I want to thank the Commission for its incredible work, particularly my Disaster and Fire Safety Commission appointee Victoria Legg.
Berkeley residents between 14 and 25 years of age can apply to be part of YouthWorks, which allows youth to get valuable paid work experience.
YouthWorks places local youth in summer jobs lasting up to 7 weeks, for up to 30 hours per week, earning $12 per hour. The program start in early July. Youth can work in office administration, government, tobacco prevention, recreation, youth development and more.
Applications are due by March 30th and can be submitted to the YouthWorks office on the 2nd floor of City Hall, 2180 Milvia Street. For more information visit the YouthWorks webpage at cityofberkeley.info/youthworks/ .
On February 13, the Council voted to make Berkeley a Cannabis Sanctuary City, the first in the country. This means that no city department, agency, officer or employee can use city funds to assist in the enforcement of federal laws surrounding cannabis.
The City of Berkeley has had a long commitment to reforming marijuana laws. In 1979, voters passed the Berkeley Marijuana Initiative, which called for the city government to support all efforts towards the reform of marijuana laws. Most recently, in 2016, 83 percent of Berkeley voters and 57 percent of Californians voted in favor of Proposition 64, a statewide ballot initiative to legalize adult recreational cannabis for those over 21 years old.
Berkeley's sanctuary law does not cover other substances considered Title I drugs by the federal government. Nor does it prevent city resources from being used to investigate cannabis-related crimes which are illegal under both federal, state and city laws.
More than half of all drug arrests in 2010 were for marijuana, according to the ACLU, with Blacks nearly four times more likely to be arrested than whites. Today, jurisdictions around the state, including Alameda County, are starting to repeal marijuana-related prison sentences, but the damage has impacted millions of people and will be felt for many more years to come. As Berkeley works to regulate the sales of recreational cannabis, it also understands the importance of enforcing our city's smoking laws and protecting our youth.
In 2016, Berkeley was designated an 'Age Friendly City' by the World Health Organization. As a result, the city is creating a plan to address the needs of people aged 50 and over. The Age Friendly Berkeley Project will focus on outdoor spaces and buildings, transportation, housing, social participation, respect and social inclusion, civic participation and employment, communication and information, and community and health services.
To start, residents aged 50 and over are invited to take an anonymous survey that will help determine community members' biggest concerns about living in Berkeley as they age, and make appropriate changes.
The survey is available online and will be open through April 10.
Results will be discussed at a community forum in late spring. The final report will be made available for the public in November 2018. Please take a moment to fill out. Your input is important.
If you live in South Berkeley, we want to hear from you! From March 10 - 23, the City of Berkeley Planning Department is hosting a Community Open House at the Ed Roberts Campus to show several options for redesign of the Adeline Corridor, roughly from the northern border of the Ashby BART station to the Oakland border. The plans focus on building new housing, protecting affordability, economic opportunity, transportation, public space and land use/community character.
Click here: youtube.com/watch?v=j9DQrLG0ncY to see a brief video of some suggested ideas for Adeline Corridor.
The open house will also address land use and zoning, and will show updated concepts for the right-of-way street design, incorporating feedback that was received in the last public exhibit last year. It will be open to the public anytime from 8am and 6pm on weekdays and 9:30am to 2pm on Saturdays.
City of Berkeley staff will be present from 11am until 2pm every business day to answer your questions. Additionally, there will be extra evening exhibit hours from 6-8pm on Monday, March 12, Thursday, March 15, Tuesday, March 20, and Wednesday March 21. Topic specific workshops will also be held throughout the time period. For more details, visit www.AdelineCorridor.eventbrite.com . RSVP at 510981-7409.
There is no question we are living in uncertain and terrifying times for undocumented immigrants. On March 16, the East Bay Sanctuary Covenant will host an educational event for Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals and Temporary Protected Status holders and undocumented community members. A panel of lawyers and activists will address discuss the state of DACA, TPS and other legal relief, report on national legislation and actions and explain California laws that protect immigrants.
The event will also include a Know Your Rights workshop and support creating Emergency Family Preparedness Plans in case of ICE raids. Attorneys will be available for free legal consultations, and there will be activities for children.


Michigan Department of Transportation's $24 million project built the state's first diverging diamond interchange to improve traffic safety and mobility in Auburn Hills. Designed to be the primary gateway into the city, planners say the new interchange at I-75 and University Drive now handles 22,500 vehicles daily and serves traffic to the area's five colleges and universities and 40,000 students. The interchange is also used by workers at several technology parks that are crucial to the state's economic growth and competitive advantage.

A: Apparently "someone" create a psqlrc.conf file that contains those messages you are seeing.
You can prevent psql from loading psqlrc.conf by passing the parameter --no-psqlrc (or -X). To hide the any other messages use the --quiet (or -q) parameter.

Americans' Right to Protest is in Grave Danger Under Trump
At least 19 U.S. states have introduced bills that attack the right to protest since Donald Trump's election as president
By Common Dreams
Common Dreams 2 April 2017
Theme: History, Law and Justice, Police State & Civil Rights
At least 19 U.S. states have introduced bills that attack the right to protest since Donald Trump's election as president, an "alarming and undemocratic" trend, U.N. human rights investigators said this week.
Maina Kiai and David Kaye, independent U.N. experts on freedom of peaceful assembly and expression respectively, are calling on lawmakers in the United States to stop the "alarming" trend of "undemocratic" anti-protest bills designed to criminalize or impede the rights to freedom of peaceful assembly and expression.
"The trend also threatens to jeopardize one of the United States' constitutional pillars: free speech," they said in a statement, calling for action to reverse such legislation.
"From the Black Lives Matter movement, to the environmental and Native American movements in opposition to the Dakota Access oil pipeline, and the Women's Marches, individuals and organizations across society have mobilized in peaceful protests, as it is their right under international human rights law and US law," Kiai and Kaye said.
The Arizona State Senate in February voted to expand racketeering laws to allow police to arrest anyone involved in a protest and seize their assets, treating demonstrators like organized criminals.
Portland, Oregon activists organizing against police killings of Black men, white nationalist politicians, and the countless systems of racism throughout our local, state, and federal governments are now considered "domestic terrorists" by Department of Homeland Security.
In January, North Dakota Republicans proposed legislation to legalize running over protesters if they are blocking roadways. (The legislation failed, for now.)
Missouri lawmakers want to make it illegal to wear a robe, mask or disguise (remarkably, a hoodie would count) to a protest.
In Minnesota, following the police shooting death of Philando Castile, protests caused part of a highway to shut down. Then, at the beginning of the state legislative session, Minnesota legislators drafted bills that would punish highway protestors with heavy fines and prison time and would make protesters liable for the policing costs of an entire protest if they individually were convicted of unlawful assembly or public nuisance.
Republicans in Washington state have proposed a plan to reclassify as a felony civil disobedience protests that are deemed "economic terrorism."
Lawmakers in North Carolina want to make it a crime to heckle lawmakers.
In Indiana, conservatives want to allow police to use "any means necessary" to remove activists from a roadway.
Colorado lawmakers are considering a big increase in penalties for environmental protesters. Activists who tamper with oil or gas equipment could be, under the measure, face felony charges and be punished with up to 18 months behind bars and a fine of up to $100,000.
A bill before the Virginia state legislature would dramatically increase punishment for people who "unlawfully" assemble after "having been lawfully warned to disperse." Those who do so could face a year in jail and a $2,500 fine.
The experts took particular issue with the characterization in some bills of protests being "unlawful" or "violent".
"There can be no such thing in law as a violent protest," the experts said. "There are violent protesters, who should be dealt with individually and appropriately by law enforcement. One person's decision to resort to violence does not strip other protesters of their right to freedom of peaceful assembly. This right is not a collective right; it is held by each of us individually," the experts stressed.
"Peaceful assembly," they added, "is a fundamental right, not a privilege, and the government has no business imposing a general requirement that people get permission before exercising that right."
The experts also emphasized that legislators should be mindful of the important role that the right to freedom of peaceful assembly has played in the history of American democracy and the fight for civil rights.
"We call on the US authorities, at the federal and state level, to refrain from enacting legislation that would impinge on the exercise of the rights to freedom of peaceful assembly, expression and opinion," they concluded.

Public schools closed while Catholic schools open on Monday
By Mo Fahim
Sunday, Nov. 6th, 2022
Credit Vista Radio staff
All schools at the Near North District School Board and Conseil scolaire public du Nord-Est de l'Ontario are closed to in-person learning Monday, Nov. 7 .
In a letter to parents, the Near North Board says it has determined it is unable to meet the health and safety requirements for all students while the services of CUPE members are withdrawn.
Officials will be communicating details about at-home learning for students on Monday.
Schools at the Nipissing-Parry Sound Catholic Board are open, along with those at Conseil scolaire catholique Franco-Nord.
The English Catholic board says they will continue assessing the impact of the strike on the health and safety of students and staff along with its capacity to sustain operations on a daily basis and will keep parents informed.
The French Catholic board says all extracurricular activities are cancelled starting Monday, until further notice.
The board also recommends parents prepare a contingency plan in case it's determined they cannot maintain the healthy and safe operation of its schools for staff and students.
The Trillium Lakeland District School Board and Simcoe Muskoka Catholic District School Boards say their schools will continue to be closed Monday as well.

Smart phones will account for almost 10 percent of all handsets sold by 2009.
Smart phones will comprise 9.3 percent of mobile phones sold in 2009, compared to 3.7 percent in 2004, according to Jupiter Research.
That translates into a compound annual growth rate of 28 percent through 2009, the market researcher said. But smart phones will not replace cell phones, media players, cameras or gaming devices.
Jupiter said the growth would be driven by consumer desire for a single integrated device, even if it means compromising on functionality. Nearly 62 percent of consumers prefer to carry a single device offering features other than voice applications, even while compromising on advanced functions, size or battery life. However, 74 percent of consumers said telephony remains the most important feature on a mobile device.
"Although our research indicates that consumers will carry up to three devices, they still prefer to carry a single integrated device to provide mobile functions," Michael Gartenberg, research director at Jupiter Research, said in a statement. "The key is understanding what features are important to consumers in a given context and delivering them while being careful not compromise on the key mobile feature: telephony."
Mobile-phone shipments in the fourth quarter of 2004 reached more than 193 million. Leading phone makers have introduced phones with additional features, such as taking photos and connecting to virtual private networks.

'Accidental managers' are certainly a common enough phenomenon. Most likely it's a 'high flyer' who has performed extraordinary well in a particular role and so has a management position thrust upon them. They themselves might have doubts about the promotion.
If a person has proved a resounding success in one job then he or she is a natural for management – that's the thinking. Yet it's a train of thought that neglects fundamentals such as a provision of management training, not to mention simple employee experience. Research suggests that as many as four out of five managers in the UK are promoted in such a way, and if they are not performing as well as they might then the consequence in terms of productivity is obvious.
Here's an article on the subject in the Financial Times, which contains a quote from Tomorrow's Company CEO Norman Pickavance.


We specialise in standard and customized fabricated roofing insulation in Champion Lakes for residential and industrial applications. Your choice of roofing system insulation product depends on the roof type.
Many commercial and industrial applications have metal deck or fibre cement roofing systems and require an insulation blanket. A lot of residences have actually tiled roofs and need the more standard insulation batts.
Insulation roofing blanket is bonded to Sisalation reflective foil and are made in standard lengths as much as 20m. However if you have the specific measurements required, we will fabricate your insulation blanket "cut to length". This will save you time, money and is much more secure onsite with the decrease of needing to cut whilst installing in the roof.
Roof Sarking is also commonly described as 'Sisalation' which is a Fletcher Insulation branded product variety. Foil Sarking is a significant part for domestic and commercial thermal insulation in roofings, walls, under floors, cooling ducts or faced to glass wool blanket. It supplies a waterproofing barrier, prevents dust and drafts and helps with energy effectiveness.
Pink ® Flooring Batts, made from lightweight, versatile and durable glasswool and are specifically developed for the thermal insulation of underfloor applications in domestic buildings. Made in Australia for over 55 years, Pink Batts ® is the trusted choice when it concerns constructing new houses or retrofitting existing buildings for increased thermal performance or acoustic control.
Pink ® Floor Batts are a sound investment for property owners, keeping residents cooler in summer, warmer in winter and providing energy cost savings throughout the year.
The high density nature of Pink ® Flooring Batts guarantees the product will friction fit and will not sag during installation. A retention strapping system, provided with the product, is advised for usage throughout installation. Pink ® Flooring Batts are renowned for their firmness, making them easy to install in between standard stud spacing's -ensuring they stay in place for continuous thermal performance. Furthermore, thanks to advances in formula, Pink ® Floor Batts are low itch – making them comfy to manage during installation.
There are two primary reasons for Acoustic insulation and they are to lower and manage the transmission of noise through structures such as walls and floorings and second of all to dampen sound reverberation within a room.
Sound has the affect of raising tension levels, interrupting sleep and usually reducing your lifestyle. Typical sound interruptions such as traffic noise, flight paths and effective entertainment systems have an influence on sound levels in your home. Acoustic insulation can assist in areas which are more prone to sound transference, consisting of;.
Underslab insulation is now a mandatory requirement as part of Section J in the Building Regulations of Australia (BCA) meanings for most structures. This insulation is usually installed with the foil face down and mechanically fixed using insulation fasteners and all signs up with are taped.
Electricity bills in will soar by approximately an overall of 64 per cent over the next three years as regulated electrical energy prices start to rise due to different government efforts and absence of infrastructure.
One way to help reduce your energy expenses by approximately 30% per year is to have actually insulation set up in your home. Whilst compulsory for all new homes, numerous older houses, after the refund, remain un-insulated and owners and renters alike will start to suffer not just from differing extremes in climate conditions but also from the debilitating expense of their electricity expenses which are tipped to increase by figures someplace in the $400 – $700 each year range.
With the typical 3 bed room household home costing very little more than this to insulate, the expense of getting us to install quality insulation in your house. And with there being long shot of energy expenses coming down in the future now is the time to get your house insulated prior to the cost of insulation services and products also increases.

Q: What is the granularity of the SRP of functions? If a function is being used to process incoming results, I believe an SRP violation exists if it contains all the logic:
def process_response(response):
   '''Process the results of the web request'''

   # logic to parse response
   # logic to format response
   # logic to write response

This function is doing a lot, and its clear. But if the logic was separated out, such that the function composed of calls:
def process_response(response):
    '''Process the results of the web request'''

    parsed = parse_response(response)
    formatted = format_response(parsed)
    save_response(formatted)

Even though the function is calling several functions to perform independent actions, do we say that process_response has a single responsibility? I suppose it is relative to the level of abstraction you give to the current function. Explicitly stated, it is responsible for calling the parser and calling the formatter and calling the saver. When explained as such, it appears that process_response has several responsibilities. However, when stated it's responsible for "managing the processing workflow", it appears as a single responsibility.
I would think it impossible to have no functions that are not composed of calls when developing a system. Therefore, is it safe (or correct) to view a composed function as having a single responsibility of executing its callees?

A: The SRP doesn't apply to functions.
Functions are "Do one thing, and do it well."  SRP is "Each class should have a single overarching responsibility."
For example, a Customer repository class might have Create, Read, Update and Delete methods.  Each method does one thing, and one thing only.  The Customer class has one responsibility: database access for customer objects.
Functions are routinely used to combine the results of smaller functions, and you can still call that "doing one thing" with proper naming, but that's not SRP.  SRP applies to classes, not functions.


Earlier this year, the artist formally known as Pure Farming 2017: The Simulator renamed and rebranded itself as Pure Farming 2018. Techland and Ice Flames' forthcoming farm 'em up now has a new trailer that showcases the machines you'll be touring around the long grass this March.
In order of appearance, meet the Gomselmash Palesse GS16, the McCormick X7.6 VT-Drive, the Agromash Ruslan, the Mitsubishi L200, and the Skybury Coffee Combine Harvester. Pure Farming 2018 in its final form will also include "the rest of the squad", but I guess our collective introduction to them is for another trailer, another day.
If you'd like to observe individual trailers of individual tractors, Techland (they of zombie slasher Dying Light) directs those interested in this direction.
Pure Farming 2018 is not only about many diverse locations, but also about a great fleet of fully licensed and faithfully recreated machines from around the world. Each machine in our game has been officially approved by the licensor, and the developers made sure to make the in-game experience of operating it as true to life as it gets.

I am so impressed by our students and families at Stagelight Performing Arts. Our students and families are organizing lemonade stands, yard sales, and other events to raise money for the CHOC Walk. They truly care about helping those in need. Developing this empathy and understanding in our students is really what it's all about. Bravo, parents and teachers, for pouring into these kids' lives. We are indeed shaping these young kids to become responsible, altruistic people.
Meghan Pulley, a parent of two of our students at Stagelight Performing Arts, has donated much of her time to organizing a team to walk at the CHOC Walk. Thank you, Meghan! And thank you to all the parents who are carving out time to support our kids as they plan and work these small events. Every moment spent doing this is making a lasting impact. Every dollar raised is helping babies and young children stand a chance when faced with health problems.
Every participant who walks at the CHOC Walk is required to raise a $65 donation, but we have our sites set high on a goal of $5000. Follow the team's Facebook page here. To join our team or donate, click here.
Watch our video to experience what it's like at Stagelight Performing Arts in Brea. Our students loved learning choreography, performing, and preparing for the filming of this video. Join us at Stagelight Performing Arts to be part of the inspiration, education, and fun that happens every day. Your first class is free!
Our Stagelighters blew us away again this past weekend at Celebration OC's annual Egg Stravaganza.
These Stagelight students, ages 10-14, demonstrated incredible leadership. Not only did they work together to choreograph a short dance combination, they also taught that combination to hundreds of other kids ages 1-16.
You might notice that is a huge age range! Our Stagelighters amazed us by adapting immediately to every child's need–and that is no easy task, even for the most skilled teachers. The Stagelight students made edits to the choreography on-the-spot, they "mirrored" movements flawlessly to help children learn easier, they engaged and encouraged kids of all ages, they performed with smiles and high energy, they listened to each other and worked off each other's ideas, they led by a wonderful example, and they made us so proud.
A huge congratulations to these Stagelight performers who undoubtedly have a bright future ahead of them!


Two main stories yesterday. The first being that the hosts, Great Britain, finally won themselves a couple of gold medals thanks to (Sir) Bradley Wiggins and rowing pair Helen Glover and Heather Stanning. The second headline of the day was the expulsion of 4 pairs of female badminton players for trying to lose on purpose to get an easier draw in the next round. They played so blatantly bad that the crowd were booing them.

LCCMR convenes to examine past, present and future
Posted June 23rd, 2007 by Minnesota Environmental Partnership.
The Legislative Citizens Committee on Minnesota Resources has resumed a full schedule and things have been busy as of late.
As the LCCMR has started working on setting priorities for 2008 RFPs, traveling to review data, and examining particular projects that they recommended for 2007 funding, the committee's June 19th meeting ran the gamut from education to eradication (at least in the minds of some members).
With an agenda that included presentations on invasive species and biofuels, the day was capped off with a tenacious debate between DNR representatives and various committee members in a tenacious face-off regarding mining rights.
So let's get to the drama: Some LCCMR members were visibly troubled by the DNR's claim that some lands that fall within the Forest Legacy Act are open to the possibility of either surface or sub-surface mining. And let's not forget that some of these lands fall under the $2 million in 2007 funding for the Forest Legacy Act from the LCCMR recommended funding to the Legislature.
As these committee meetings are wont to do, the initial discussion focused on the language surrounding the use of lands within the Forest Legacy Act. Sen. Ellen Anderson cited her interpretation of the state constitutional amendment's language to mean that such action was prohibited under the act. The DNR's own legal eagle was quick to reply that while it did not specify that in the language, it also didn't deny the right to mine. And so it went. Talk about getting the committee's dander up.
But the issue is a complicated, Byzantine path of rights, ownership, futures and constitutional laws.
For starters, easements managed by the DNR, or other land conservation groups, tend to be in perpetuity. Then, you've got the tax codes issues muddying the waters even further. Compound that with other state interests, such as the school fund and how it has largely reaped few benefits from mining on lands on which schools reside. (In essence, schools are granted the land they are on by the State. However, should the State, or another interest such as, let's say the DNR, act in management of the land, and should they determine to mine that land, the monies derived from such mining do not necessarily end up in the credit column of the School Fund.) Additonally, the Feds do allow surface and sub-surface mining on land that receives federal Forest Legacy funding, but only on a "limited" basis, a definition that hasn't been clearly defined. (Apparently, the state of Minnesota doesn't have a clear interpretion of this either, according to the DNR's legal representative, as the courts have never heard a case in which defnitive language on the topic has been derived.) And the final icing on the cake is that lands in the state have been mined since, well, Minnesota became a state.
It's easy to see why the committee had issues. Rep. Jean Wagenius and committee member John Hunt both cited concern over whether it was "appropriate" to use LCCMR money for land that could be mined. Hunt cited the idea as a poor "investment," stating that the notion of funding land for conservation, then tearing it up for mineral rights, only to be followed by more monies to return the land it to its (nearly) original state post-mining, seems like a circuitous manner in which to enable conservation and preservation. Committee members Jeff Boberg and Al Berner also spoke out. Boberg attempted to simplify the language in disupte by reminding the committee that minerals are, in essence, natural resources by nature. And Berner pointed out that part of the mission of the LCCMR's goal is to look toward the preservation of renewable resources, and while forests are renewable, minerals are not.
On the other side of things, Rep. Tom Rukavina, a lifelong "Ranger," was quick to point out all the assets mining has provided the state over the years – funding schools in northern Minnesota, providing valuable minerals for industrial and commercial consumer use and serving as an economic cornerstone to outlaying regions.
With all this, it's no wonder the committee is still determining how they should handle the issue. Stay tuned: there's sure to be more to follow on this issue.
Other topics of the day included an presentations on invasive species and biofuels. A field trip to the University of Minnesota's St. Paul campus let LCCMR members view where a quarantine facility for the study of invasive species is being expanded (the college boasts one of four such facilities in the country). Coupled with an informative, albeit rapid-fire presentation by IREE (Initiative for Renewable Energy and the Environment) director Dick Hemmingsen on biofuels, their place and impact on the environment and what it means economically to the state and the nation, the group received its share of environmental education.
There's certainly a lot on the LCCMR's plate to consider – whether it involves cantankerous issues like mining or scientific analysis of invasive species and the development of alternative energy — as the committee moves forward with one eye on the future and one on the past, it promises to be an interesting ride.

If there is one topic that does not bring a happy smile to one's face, it is plumbing work. Unless there is a member of the family experienced in drains, pipelines, and all things defined in plumbing you have to call a professional. If you have actually been happy with the work of a professional in the plumbing trade previously, that is a good thing. But if he is new to you, a plumbing technician needs to have the ability to show you that he or she is trained, certified and accredited.
Being a plumber is so much more than clearing out a drain. After secondary school the person should go to a vocational plumbing course according to the state required. Each state has it's own requirements one need to fulfill prior to ending up being an plumbing apprentice with a union or a huge plumbing company. It is essential to continue related courses, display exceptional math ratings, a valid drivers license and good driving record. When the prospect has completed the plumbing apprenticeship he will certainly finish a state assessment before getting a license. This license will permit the applicant the opportunity to take the journeyman examination in order to be a qualified plumbing professional. If this new certified tradesman aspires to end up being a master plumbing professional, a more complicated and detailed certification, he will continue his education.
You can request advice from buddies, household and work connects about which companies they advise. Prior to you work with the plumbing professional, ask for a complimentary estimate on the labor and materials. If you acquire the faucets, pipes or other plumbing provides it will certainly be more economical. However, if the plumber does not purchase the supplies he can not service warranty them. It might cost a lot of money to do it all over again. This can delay work and the maker may not reimburse you for the labor charges all over once more.
If you are building a new house or an extensive remodel you will certainly want a plumbing contractor. That requires a master plumbing technician, who not only has more education however brought in knowledge. Here again, the suggestions of others experiences can serve you well in picking the ideal specialist. There are other opportunities of information too. Demand that the plumbing specialist provide you references from previous consumers, consult the Better Business Bureau, confirm the business insurance coverage and see if they are connected with expert trade organizations.Once you have discovered the business right for the task, reveal your expectations clearly and ask concerns until you are ensured it is being done properly. No fears, you can do this.

Sheringham Station (Sheringham)
Sheringham Station is the railway station that serves the seaside resort of Sheringham in Norfolk.
In fact there are two stations, one on either side of the main street, from which the level crossing linking the two has been removed.
It is a few minutes walk down the main street to the Sea Front.
Sheringham is now the terminus of the line known as the "Bittern Line", running from Norwich, via Wroxham, North Walsham and Cromer.
The other station is now the terminus of the North Norfolk Railway, also known as the "Poppy Line", which runs steam trains to Holt and formerly went to Norwich via Melton Constable.

Why Jack in the Box Stock Rose 12% in November
Shares of the fast-food chain gained on a better-than-expected earnings report and a rumor about a possible sale.

Shares of Jack in the Box (NASDAQ:JACK) were moving higher last month after the fast-food chain posted solid results in its fourth-quarter earnings report and surged at the end of the month on a report that it was exploring a sale. As a result, the stock finished the month up 12%, according to S&P Global Market Intelligence.
As you can see from the chart below, those gains came in two distinct surges, each from the news items above.
JACK data by YCharts.
Jack in the Box shares jumped 6% on Nov. 20 after its fourth-quarter earnings report came out. The company said comparable sales increased 0.5%, and revenue came in at $177.5 million, which was down significantly from the year before due to the sale of the Qdoba chain earlier in the year, but still beat estimates at $174.5 million.

Adjusted earnings per share increased from $0.73 to $0.77, but that missed expectations at $0.85. CEO Lenny Comma said, "The competitive environment remains extremely aggressive, but we continue to avoid deep discounting which we believe is not in the best interests of the long-term health of the brand."
Investors were also encouraged by the fast-food chain's guidance next year as management called for comparable sales growth of flat to 2%, which seemed to be enough to push the stock higher considering intense competition in the industry.
Toward the end of the month, Reuters reported that Jack in the Box was holding talks with private equity firms for a potential sale. Considering the number of M&A deals in the restaurant sector and the earlier sale of Qdoba, a sale wouldn't be that surprising. Jack in the Box did not comment on the report.
Notably, Jack in the Box's comparable sales growth in the fourth quarter was slower than the industry benchmark at 1.5%, a sign, along with its slow profit growth, that its performance is relatively weak. While a sale would lift the share price, those rumors alone seem to be a poor reason to invest in the stock. Considering the business's slow growth and the stock's gains last month, shares now look fully priced.
