As a mother and grandmother I hope that my perspective will be respected by state lawmakers. I have read stories in the news and comments from state officials who emphasize that 20 days is a lot of missed school. They seem to be saying that no student should ever miss 20 days of school for any reason, and that if students miss that much school they must be "at-risk" and in need of state interventions.
First, I want to point out the obvious. A student who misses 20 days of school in one year is present in class 90% of the time. This is an 'A' in attendance. Good students have a wide range of attendance. For some children they will never be absent 20 days in one year. The Governor has publically stated that he never missed school as a kid, that a lot of absences for him would be no more than a couple. It is understandable that someone with the Governor's attendance record may find it hard to be compassionate for kids who are absent more often, but it is not hard for even good students to have 10+ absences on a regular basis.
At the beginning of the 2010-2011 school year, our grandson who was in first grade, was suffering from sinus headaches at least once a week to the point where he was forced to miss school because the infections made him ill. Our daughter took him to the doctor several times and was given antibiotics which would work for a short period of time and then the infection was back; in fact, it never really cleared up.
He missed approximately 5-10 days of school within the first two months of school. The doctors finally decided that surgery was required in order to clear up the infection. After the surgery, he had to be out of school for a week. So now we are looking at 10-15 days missing from school.
It is not at all unlikely that my innocent grandson will meet the twenty day threshold under the law and fall under the jurisdiction of the county attorney and fall into the supervision of state authorities. This is unacceptable! Neither the state nor the schools should have any authority to decide what is best for a sick child. That is a parent's responsibility. The state of Nebraska is overstepping their boundaries with this law.
My grandson story is a perfect illustration of how a perfectly innocent child void of any wrong doing can easily reach the 20 day threshold. Though it was not the intent of the legislature to entangle sick kids with law enforcement, it is none the less what has occurred as county attorneys are required by law to review these cases and provide "oversight". This makes the average law-abiding Nebraskan very nervous and rightly so.

Bizarre GTA2 rumor circulating the internet
By Chris | 2nd May 2008 at 08:28 GMT in Classics | 0 Comments
Taking a quick break from GTA IV mayhem with a news story we feel should have been posted about 10 years ago... and probably was...
I originally had no intention of making this post, but due to the rising number of websites covering the story I thought it would be a good idea. A number of respectable gaming sites have over the past couple of days posted up reports of a bizarre rumour regarding GTA2 and it's alleged impending release on to the Xbox Live Marketplace and PlayStation Store, and I just wanted to put it out there as fact that there is no truth in this so called rumour.
The rumour itself centres around the official GTA2 website and the flash countdown shown upon skipping the intro. The top part of the countdown always shows today's date, and a time which always starts at 09:38:00. Below this is a date in the future, always 21 days later, with the time exactly 2 hours ahead of the top one. The clocks both reset every 60 seconds.
Apparently, this has never been spotted by the rumor starter, whomever it was, who believed that the site had been updated and intended to be a clue towards a release of some kind by Rockstar Games. This was despite the fact the website has been online almost 10 years and as far as I know has always had this on the website. The fact that professional gaming websites are reporting this now is both amusing and slightly worrying.
For those not in the know, GTA2 (and earlier, GTA1) was made freely available for the PC over 3 years ago - Because of this I'm not sure that many people would even bother with an XBLA or PSN version, since presumably you'd need to pay for it.
GTA, GTA II Set To Be Released On PSN?
By MishoM | 14th Feb 2008 at 03:37 GMT in Classics | 30 Comments
The Official PlayStation Magazine claims that Rockstar Games is set to release the first two top-down Grand Theft Auto titles, GTA and GTA II, on the PlayStation Network. The magazine seemed to be hinting at the release being in the near future as well:
Can't wait for GTA IV? Well, GTA and GTA II, the top-down PS1 classics that started it all, are set to appear as PSN downloads...
A scan of the very short article can be found here. It isn't yet known if the titles will also be released on the Xbox Live Arcade for Xbox 360 users, but if their claims are true, then I wouldn't doubt it.
Petition to Open Source GTA1 and GTA2
By Chris | 29th Apr 2006 at 13:41 GMT in Classics | 9 Comments
It was brought to my attention today that a petition has been made for Rockstar Games to make both GTA1 and GTA2 open source. For those of you not familiar with programming terminology, this means that the source code (basically the code that makes the game work) will be made viewable to anyone who wants it.
This would be invaluable to modders and programmers alike, who would be able to make modifications to ultimately improve the playabilty of the games much more easily than before.
Topic starter drwbns sums it up well.
Creating enhancements such as improving gameplay physics, weapons, and netcode could be a start and would show the GTA community contributing back and showing their support for old favorites.
The original topic on our forums can be found here, more importantly, head over to Petition Online to sign the petition, remember to use a valid email address too.
Thanks for the support everyone!
GTA2 available for download
By Chris | 22nd Dec 2004 at 12:25 GMT in Classics | 25 Comments
You are probably all aware that quite some time ago Rockstar made the original GTA optimized and downloadable from their website, well now they have done it with GTA2. That's right, more details below.
Yes, GTA2. The 2nd proper installment in the Grand Theft Auto lineage, originally released in 1999. The one that introduced the concept of multiple rival gangs vying for your attention and criminal work-for-hire.
The Yakuza, Scientists, Looneys, Rednecks, Zaibatsu, Russian mob and Hare Krishnas. Gouranga!
This late 20th century top-down classic is now available to you all in the form of a 350MB downloadable .zip, courtesy of Rockstar Games.
So this is your Christmas present from Rockstar Games. Head on over to the Rockstar Classics page and fill in the form and follow the instructions in order to download it, I will be downloading my copy in a minute. Obviously you'll need a broadband connection or faster to download this as it's over 350MB!
GTA Advance also delayed
By Chris | 11th Sep 2004 at 12:48 GMT in GTA Advance | 2 Comments
According to this GamesRadar Article the release date for the GameBoy Advance version of Grand Theft Auto has also been held back a week. It says 'late October' but one would assume it would have the same release date as San Andreas.
As for the top-down GBA version of Grand Theft Auto, which was also due to be released on 22 October, this is now scheduled for "late October" so we wouldn't be surprised for that to also be put back to 29 October to coincide with San Andreas.

If you are looking for information on the Froots franchise business opportunity, Froots franchises or Froots franchising, then you have come to the right place.
At Froots, we're passionate about serving great-tasting Smoothies, Shakes, Salads and Wraps for the exploding population interested in a healthier lifestyle. We serve delicious, nutritious, all-natural, energizing Smoothies and Shakes along with gourmet Salads and Wraps. The Smoothies are a healthy and refreshing drink for a nutrition-starved body. The Salads and Wraps are a perfect complement to the Smoothies and Shakes providing customers a healthy and delicious alternative to the typical fast food breakfast, lunch and dinner fare.
The differences between Froots and other smoothie concepts is that Froots is actually a quick service restaurant. We're not just a juice bar or a smoothie company. We're a restaurant! We offer smoothies, salads, wraps, fresh juices, coffees, soups. We offer our Franchisees an all encompassing situation. We want people to be able to come to our restaurants for breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks. Smoothies are good for part of that business but salads and wraps take it to the next level.
After several years of refining and developing the product and the concept, Froots has become the premiere choice for healthy and active consumers on the go in South Florida. We have now expanded across the country as we introduce the positive benefits of the Froots brand to consumers in many new markets such as Chicago, Atlanta, Ft. Lauderdale, Miami, Orlando, New Orleans, Washington D.C., Northern Virginia, Nashville, Louisville and Phoenix. Over the next several months, more and more Froots stores will be opening in retail storefronts and shopping centers throughout the United States!
Americans gulped $1 billion in Smoothies last year. What's driving this smooth and fruity trend throughout America? It can be easily explained: Taste. Convenience. The way they make people feel. People are becoming more health-conscious all the time and, more importantly, people are busier than ever! A smoothie positioned as a grab-and-go snack or a meal is a perfect alternative for those people.
There are currently more than 1,000 smoothie franchises operating in the U.S.
Considering the exploding smoothie market along with Froots nationwide expansion in full swing, now is the perfect time to take control of your future and own your very own Froots Smoothies, Shakes, Salads and Wraps Franchise! Your Future is Now!
Froots is different from other franchises because of the concept itself. The product is really good. I truly believe in the product that is offered. It's not like other smoothies places where they only offer juice and smoothies. The fact that it has wraps and salads makes it more of a healthy environment. It's a complete offering.
I considered owning a franchise because I wanted to be my own boss. I wanted something that was cutting edge, that was new, exciting, fresh. Froots was that opportunity.
Froots is different than other franchises I researched because of the product that it offers. There are no other stores out there yet that has the product that Froots offers. The wrap sandwiches and smoothies combination is unique in the industry and I believe that the types of products they offer are unique because of the fresh ingredients.

The chief of Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam Fazal (JUI-F) warned on Saturday that if the government intervene in religious seminary it would have to face dire consequences.
"We know what are the objectives behind the formation of Economic Advisory Council (EAC), therefore any attempt to meddling in madaris system will face stiff resistance," JUI-F chief said while addressing to a rally in Bannu.Raising the question over the transparency of election, MMA head said that the results of the election 2018 were against what the people hoped as the echo of rigging in polls being heard in the entire country.
"After rigging in polls the present majority of PTI, chief ministers and prime minister are all bogus and fake," he said.Commenting over the PM Imran's pledge to turn Pakistan into Madina like state he said that government has increased the prices of gas and other items in its initial phase and how one can hope Imran will create Madina like state.
He alleged that PTI pushing the youths towards the wrong way, however, JUI will bring back the youth to the piteous way.
Earlier, the Election Commission of Pakistan while rejecting the allegations of Jamiat Ulema-i-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) chief Fazlur Rehman maintained that the General Elections 2018 were fair, transparent and impartial.ECP Rejects Fazl's Accusations Regarding Rigged Polls"Accusations lacking evidence is deplorable and contrary to the facts. Not respecting the mandate of public without any justification is against the rules of democracy," asserted then ECP spokesperson.
The commission stressed that the tradition of pressurizing national institutions should end. "ECP is an independent institution and will not tolerate any sort of pressure," the spokesperson responded.On September 06, Jamiat Ulema-e Islam (F) leader Maulana Fazl-ur-Rehman called the present government a fake and unconstitutional demanding the resignation of chief election commissioner over alleged rigging in polls.

Leukemia-stricken swimmer Rikako Ikee discharged from hospital
Swimming star Rikako Ikee, who was diagnosed with leukemia earlier this year, said Tuesday she has been discharged from hospital and hopes to compete at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
The 19-year-old was considered a medal favorite for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics but was forced to put all swimming-related activities on hold to focus on treatment since her diagnosis in February.
According to her management agency, she was released from hospital earlier in the month and will not compete at the Tokyo Olympics next summer.
"I have been hospitalized since February, but I was able to leave the hospital after about 10 months," Ikee said in a handwritten message on social media.
"Concerning the Olympics, I want to work hard with a goal of competing at the 2024 Paris Olympics and winning a medal."
She will continue making hospital visits, but Ikee said she will start training in water once she decides it is possible with her doctor.
"There were times when I had strong nausea from the medication or a sense of fatigue, but I kept telling myself 'it's OK, it's OK, it will end at some point'," she said.
Ikee shot to fame in the summer of 2018 in Indonesia, where she was named the first female MVP at the Asian Games after becoming the first swimmer to win six gold medals, all in games-record times.
She holds national records for 50, 100 and 200 meters freestyle, as well as 50 and 100 meters butterfly.
The news of her diagnosis made headlines in Japan, and words of encouragement poured in for the teenage sensation on social media.
Ikee said in March that she would not give up on competing at the 2020 Games and her coach revealed in June that she had resumed light exercise on a stationary bike.
She enrolled at Nihon University's College of Sports Sciences in April.

Remote Work, Present and Future
What Does it Mean for You?
When the pandemic started, there was a general sense that major changes would be short-lived. Schools might have to close for a month or two. Masks might be necessary for a little while, and we'd have to keep our social distance and restrain our partying selves while the whole thing blew over.
And offices might close for a few weeks, but it would all be very temporary.
Obviously, that's not how it played out. At all.
What we're seeing now is a growing list of companies, big and small, that have still not opened their offices after well over a year, and an unending series of postponements of the great return to office life.
September, 2021 was a popular date proposed for reopening. Now, many companies are pushing that date forward, but nothing is unanimous. Some are sticking to the September plan; some are opening at limited capacity; and others are putting restrictions in place regarding vaccination status and mask-wearing.
Vaccine mandates are a hot topic, not widely imposed except in healthcare, but very much on people's minds. And then there's Delta Airlines and its proposal to implement a monthly health-insurance surcharge on unvaccinated employees.
That all adds up to a pretty confused and inconsistent picture, but one thing is clear: The question of remote work will be part of the picture, whether it's because companies will still encourage or allow it, or because it will still be very much on workers' list of things that matter regardless of their employers' approach.
According to a New York Times survey, 31 percent of the 950 workers surveyed said they'd prefer full-time remote, 45 percent opted for full-time in-office, and 24 percent would prefer some kind of hybrid approach.
What's lost in this kind of general survey is that there's something of a generation gap when it comes to going back to the office. In another survey, 55 percent of millennials, defined as people born between 1981 and 1996, had doubts about returning to the office, while older workers were less troubled. Only 36 percent of baby boomers shared that millennial reluctance.
It's striking that the older demographic, the one presumably most at risk, is the one most willing to head back in person.
But that may be at least partly explained by the fact that older workers view one's presence in the office as part of the natural order of things, while workers who are younger may have an easier time seeing remote work, especially after it's gone on for a year and a half, as nothing out of the ordinary. Don't forget that there's a contingent of new hires who may never have been to the office at all. Remote, for them, is just the way things are.
If offices do reopen, how many people will balk at going back? There's yet another variable to consider in answering that question. If the company wants you back in person, what is the office actually like? Is the company doing what it can to keep people safe? Is the state or local government supporting safe practices or, as is sometimes true, actually making it harder for workers to feel protected?
One client of mine, a scientist in one of those hot fields in which workers are at a premium, had no choice about remote work. Her job required her presence on site. But she felt that her employer was not doing enough to protect its workers, and she was worried enough to look for something better. She found it, with a company that was more attuned to her concerns and in a state that mandated precautions, and she took the plunge. In the end, she found a new position that made her feel significantly less at risk. But even here, her decision meant that she had to move thousands of miles.
Clearly, that example is not universally representative. Many people have concerns about exactly what the office will look like if they have to go back. Fewer people are so certain that a new job is out there that they have the luxury of pulling up stakes.
Given all those uncertainties, I think it's impossible to predict exactly what lies ahead of us. There are trends, like a
predictable variability by industry, with banks encouraging a return to the office and tech firms more willing to stay remote. (Amazon and Facebook, among others, have pushed the return into 2022.) Beyond that, the pandemic has built-in uncertainty of its own. We've seen the Delta variant change the landscape. We don't know what else Covid has in store.
In general, though, I think the only thing that can be truly said is that, as always, it helps to be flexible in the job market.
If you insist on work that's fully remote, you may have less opportunity than someone who can accept a return to office life, but we may see more remote opportunities if companies back away from reopening plans.
Or we may see fewer remote opportunities if it's full speed ahead back to the office. And there may well be more competition for whatever remote opportunities exist. Sadly, it's the coronavirus itself that will insist on having a say in all this.
At the very least, we're living through a time of great uncertainty, and that can also mean a time of opportunity.
I don't know where we'll end up. I do know that this is not the time to let career plans languish. Remote? On-site? Instead of trying to predict the ultimately unpredictable, better to update that resume, pay attention to the job market, and be prepared for what's coming next, no matter what that is.
If you need assistance with any of that, we offer a variety of Career Service packages to help you find the position that's the best fit for you, regardless of what that looks like or where it is.

The Throne of Truth: What is the feast of the Chair of St. Peter?
D.D. Emmons
January 1, 2022 6:00 am January 1, 2022
Comments Off on The Throne of Truth: What is the feast of the Chair of St. Peter?
The feast of the Chair of St. Peter has nothing to do with a piece of furniture.
The "chair" symbolizes the authority of St Peter and his successors who have served the Church of Jesus Christ as the Bishop of Rome (the Pope). As a matter of fact, in Rome's St. Peter's Basilica, there is a chair, enshrined in the sumptuous Altar of the Chair of St. Peter by the great architect Bernini, but it is a symbol representing the 2,000-year-old papacy and unity the Pope continues to bring to Catholics around the world. Without such unity the Church would splinter into numerous sects and divisions.
Cathedra
So, every year on Feb. 22, the Church celebrates the continuing role of the Pope, the Vicar of Christ, beginning with St Peter. The use of the term chair in the feast day comes from the Latin term cathedra, meaning the seat of government. But how did such a feast day ever get started? We need to go back to the time of Jesus for the answer.
According to the Gospel of Matthew, Jesus asks the Twelve Apostles, "Who do you say that I am?" (16:15). The only response Jesus acknowledged was that of Peter, who said that Jesus was the son of the living God. Jesus in turn said to Peter, "Blessed art you, Simon son of Jonah. For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my heavenly Father" (v. 17). Peter's answer is heavenly inspired, and from that point Peter is singled out among the apostles to be the rock of Christ's Church on earth. According to Jesus, the Church will be so rock solid that "the gates of the netherworld shall not prevail against it" (v. 18).
Later, following the Resurrection, Jesus confirms Peter's primacy over the other apostles as well as authority over His Church. He gives Peter the keys to the kingdom, telling him: to "Feed my lambs…. Feed my sheep" (see Jn 21:15-17). This authority, this responsibility given to Peter, is meant to be passed on to each of his successors. Jesus did not intend for the Church to end with Peter.
St. Peter quietly begins to take on the role assigned by Christ beginning in the Upper Room. Pope Benedict XVI writes in his book "Holiness is Always in Season" (Ignatius Press, 2011): "So what was the 'Chair' of St Peter? Chosen by Christ as the 'rock' on which to build the Church (cf. Mt 16:18), he began his ministry in Jerusalem, after the Ascension of the Lord and Pentecost. The Church's first 'seat' was the Upper Room, and it is likely that a special place was reserved for Simon Peter in that room where Mary, Mother of Jesus, also prayed with the disciples" (p. 65).
Even before Pentecost, Peter orchestrated the selection of Matthias to replace Judas, which was the first apostolic succession (see Acts 1:15-26). Peter preached on that day of Pentecost and was so inspirational that 3,000 people were baptized after listening to him (Acts 2:41). He was the first apostle to be given the grace to perform a miracle; curing the lame man at "the Beautiful gate" (Acts 3:1-10). King Herod Agrippa had Peter arrested and shackled in prison between two guards, but an "angel of the Lord" saved him (Acts 12:1-10). Peter's decisive speech at the Council of Jerusalem in A.D. 50 resolved the debate there (Acts 15:6-12). That he was singled out for a special role among all the apostles is undisputable.
Around A.D. 34, Peter went to Antioch and established there a seat, or chair, of government. Antioch was a major metropolitan city of the ancient world with a diverse population and was the place where Christ's followers were first called Christians. Peter remained there for seven years, and the Church would acknowledge his work in Antioch by establishing the feast of St. Peter's Chair in Antioch, celebrated on Feb. 22 every year. That feast remained on the Catholic liturgical calendar until the 20th century.
Next, Peter went to Rome, the center of the civilized world. Peter's efforts there would identify him as the first Bishop of Rome. Gifted by God and respected by man, he would continue his role as leader of all the Church, and as a result was the first pope. In A.D. 68, he was crucified by Emperor Nero.
The Feast of the Chair
His feast day, originally called the feast of the Chair of St. Peter in Rome, began in the fourth century. It was held on Jan. 18, as that was believed to be the day when Peter gave his first homily in Rome. At some point before the 16th-century Protestant revolt, the feast was combined with the feast of St. Peter's Chair in Antioch. When Martin Luther revolted from the Church, Protestant heretics made the absurd claim that Peter was never in Rome and thus he could not have been the Bishop of Rome.
Consequently, in their opinion, there could be no pope as claimed by Catholics.
In order to reject this false Protestant challenge, Pope Paul IV (r. 1555-1559) reinstituted the feast of the Chair of Peter in Rome in 1558. As a result, for 400 years the Church celebrated two feast days regarding the Chair of Peter. One feast reflected on Peter's role in Antioch, the other on his role in Rome. In 1962, Pope John XXIII combined the two feasts into one, which is the feast of the Chair of St. Peter, held Feb. 22 each year.
On this feast day, the universal Church acknowledges that St. Peter was the first pope and that his mission continues through the Holy Father today. Simply stated, that mission is to care for the people of God; to carry on the customs, rituals, teachings and truths of Jesus; and to uphold the unity of His Church. Moreover, the Church proclaims that the authority given to St. Peter by Our Lord has been handed down to Peter's successors for the past 2,000 years.
This day is not just about apostolic succession in respect to the pope and the bishops. Among the laity, it symbolizes an unspoken confidence that the Church of Jesus does not change from age to age; that the truths of the Gospel still form the basis of our faith; that these eternal truths are reflected in every Catholic parish and in every Mass. It is a confidence that the leader of our Church adheres to and will never deny the precepts and principles of the Church of Jesus. We firmly believe that we are part of the mystical body of Christ, a holy people, a holy priesthood.
In the late fourth century, St. Jerome wrote to Pope Damasus I: "I follow no leader but Christ and join in communion with none but Your Blessedness, that is, with the chair of Peter. I know that this is the rock on which the Church has been built. Whoever eats the Lamb outside this house is profane. Anyone who is not in the Ark of Noah will perish when the flood prevails."
D.D. Emmons writes from Mount Joy, Pa.
