Rumor found untrue at JCHS
Officials at Jefferson City School District are trying to quell another rumor of possible violence at a school.
According to School District Spokesman David Luther, around noon Thursday, one student at the high school spoke to another student and word eventually came to principals that there might be a weapon in the building."Our principals got enough information to do a search and went through several book bags and eventually the principals were satisfied that the rumor was false," he said. "Classes were never disrupted and students went about their normal activities."Acting principal Delinda Fitch also noted that students were very cooperative and understanding of the situation.Earlier this week the district put out a release to quell rumors about a threat written on a bathroom wall at Thomas Jefferson Middle School last week.
If you're buying jeans for a gift, help's on the way
Shoppers should be prepared to answer questions about whether the recipient's jeans typically gape at the waist or cause a "muffintop" above the waistline; whether she has small, average or prominent hips and thighs; what features she'd like to accentuate; and whether she wears flat shoes or heels to determine pant-leg length.
Zafu.com has an eight-question survey to help shoppers find the "perfect jeans in three minutes." Site visitors shouldn't be shy about disclosing information about their "saddle bags" or "stick legs" and need to determine whether they'd like the jeans to make their rear-end look "booty-licious" or make wider legs look "long and lean."
At Levi Strauss & Co., the company has phased out its glass "body scan" booths, introduced in 2005, whose technology traced a customer's body and suggested sizes and styles.
