text: 1 2What is vesafb? 3=============== 4 5This is a generic driver for a graphic framebuffer on intel boxes. 6 7The idea is simple: Turn on graphics mode at boot time with the help 8of the BIOS, and use this as framebuffer device /dev/fb0, like the m68k 9(and other) ports do. 10 11This means we decide at boot time whenever we want to run in text or 12graphics mode. Switching mode later on (in protected mode) is 13impossible; BIOS calls work in real mode only. VESA BIOS Extensions 14Version 2.0 are required, because we need a linear frame buffer. 15 16Advantages: 17 18 * It provides a nice large console (128 cols + 48 lines with 1024x768) 19 without using tiny, unreadable fonts. 20 * You can run XF68_FBDev on top of /dev/fb0 (=> non-accelerated X11 21 support for every VBE 2.0 compliant graphics board). 22 * Most important: boot logo :-) 23 24Disadvantages: 25 26 * graphic mode is slower than text mode... 27 28 29How to use it? 30============== 31 32Switching modes is done using the vga=... boot parameter. Read 33Documentation/svga.txt for details. 34 35You should compile in both vgacon (for text mode) and vesafb (for 36graphics mode). Which of them takes over the console depends on 37whenever the specified mode is text or graphics. 38 39The graphic modes are NOT in the list which you get if you boot with 40vga=ask and hit return. The mode you wish to use is derived from the 41VESA mode number. Here are those VESA mode numbers: 42 43 | 640x480 800x600 1024x768 1280x1024 44----+------------------------------------- 45256 | 0x101 0x103 0x105 0x107 4632k | 0x110 0x113 0x116 0x119 4764k | 0x111 0x114 0x117 0x11A 4816M | 0x112 0x115 0x118 0x11B 49 50The video mode number of the Linux kernel is the VESA mode number plus 510x200. 52 53 Linux_kernel_mode_number = VESA_mode_number + 0x200 54 55So the table for the Kernel mode numbers are: 56 57 | 640x480 800x600 1024x768 1280x1024 58----+------------------------------------- 59256 | 0x301 0x303 0x305 0x307 6032k | 0x310 0x313 0x316 0x319 6164k | 0x311 0x314 0x317 0x31A 6216M | 0x312 0x315 0x318 0x31B 63 64To enable one of those modes you have to specify "vga=ask" in the 65lilo.conf file and rerun LILO. Then you can type in the desired 66mode at the "vga=ask" prompt. For example if you like to use 671024x768x256 colors you have to say "305" at this prompt. 68 69If this does not work, this might be because your BIOS does not support 70linear framebuffers or because it does not support this mode at all. 71Even if your board does, it might be the BIOS which does not. VESA BIOS 72Extensions v2.0 are required, 1.2 is NOT sufficient. You will get a 73"bad mode number" message if something goes wrong. 74 751. Note: LILO cannot handle hex, for booting directly with 76 "vga=mode-number" you have to transform the numbers to decimal. 772. Note: Some newer versions of LILO appear to work with those hex values, 78 if you set the 0x in front of the numbers. 79 80X11 81=== 82 83XF68_FBDev should work just fine, but it is non-accelerated. Running 84another (accelerated) X-Server like XF86_SVGA might or might not work. 85It depends on X-Server and graphics board. 86 87The X-Server must restore the video mode correctly, else you end up 88with a broken console (and vesafb cannot do anything about this). 89 90 91Refresh rates 92============= 93 94There is no way to change the vesafb video mode and/or timings after 95booting linux. If you are not happy with the 60 Hz refresh rate, you 96have these options: 97 98 * configure and load the DOS-Tools for the graphics board (if 99 available) and boot linux with loadlin. 100 * use a native driver (matroxfb/atyfb) instead if vesafb. If none 101 is available, write a new one! 102 * VBE 3.0 might work too. I have neither a gfx board with VBE 3.0 103 support nor the specs, so I have not checked this yet. 104 105 106Configuration 107============= 108 109The VESA BIOS provides protected mode interface for changing 110some parameters. vesafb can use it for palette changes and 111to pan the display. It is turned off by default because it 112seems not to work with some BIOS versions, but there are options 113to turn it on. 114 115You can pass options to vesafb using "video=vesafb:option" on 116the kernel command line. Multiple options should be separated 117by comma, like this: "video=vesafb:ypan,invers" 118 119Accepted options: 120 121invers no comment... 122 123ypan enable display panning using the VESA protected mode 124 interface. The visible screen is just a window of the 125 video memory, console scrolling is done by changing the 126 start of the window. 127 pro: * scrolling (fullscreen) is fast, because there is 128 no need to copy around data. 129 * You'll get scrollback (the Shift-PgUp thing), 130 the video memory can be used as scrollback buffer 131 kontra: * scrolling only parts of the screen causes some 132 ugly flicker effects (boot logo flickers for 133 example). 134 135ywrap Same as ypan, but assumes your gfx board can wrap-around 136 the video memory (i.e. starts reading from top if it 137 reaches the end of video memory).

WILL THE MASSACRE at Sandy Hook Elementary School touch the nation's soul or just make headlines for a short time? I think that will be up to us who are parents—to respond as parents.
The brutal shooting of 20 6- and 7-year-old schoolchildren in their own classrooms touches all of us, and as the father of two young boys I'm especially struck by the way it touches parents: from the heartbreak of the parents in Newtown to the tears in the eyes of Barack Obama as he responded—not just as the president but also as the father of two daughters—to the faces of the first responders and reporters who are parents. I have felt the pain and seen the look on the face of every parent I have talked with since this horrendous event occurred. Virtually every mother and father in America has turned their grieving gaze on their own children, realizing how easily this could have happened to them.
The day after the Connecticut massacre, my wife, Joy, and I went to our son Jack's basketball game. The kids on the court were the same ages as the children who were killed. I kept looking at them one by one, feeling how fragile their lives are.
Our first response to what happened in Newtown must be toward our own children: To be so thankful for the gift and grace they are to us. To be ever more conscious of them and what they need from us. To honor the grief of those mothers and fathers in Connecticut who have so painfully lost their children, we must love and attend to ours in an even deeper way.
But we really can't honestly just tell our children that they are safe. This year, children have been randomly shot in their schools, in movie theaters, at malls, and on street corners across the nation—places that any of our kids could be at any time. Our children are not safe.
This crisis will not be solved until we begin a national conversation about what will keep our children safe in this country, at least more safe than they are today.

The first genealogy published in America appeared in a newspaper 284 years ago – today – May 7, 1724.
The first genealogy published in book form was in 1771 – the Stebbins Genealogy and by 1876 and the nation's first centennial there were less than 1,000 genealogies published.
With a push from President Ulysses S. Grant the idea really took off. It was 132 years ago on May 25th that he issued a "Proclamation" to the American people asking them to remember their history, write it down and distribute it widely.
He wrote that he wanted to see "a complete record" of our history … be kept and placed in each county and in the Library of Congress". If the Internet were available then I am sure he would have suggested that they be put online too.
According to the 16 Mar 1912 issue of the San Jose Mercury "Genealogy Study Rapidly Growing. In Recent Years Americans Have Been Making Great Study of the Family Tree". By the year 1920 there were 2,000 published genealogies and by 1972 there were 50,000 family histories in print.
With the publication of Roots in 1976 genealogy really took off.
By the late 90s the Internet was becoming a common tool for genealogists. By 1998 there were over 90,000 published genealogies. Today, just ten years later that number has jumped to over 150,000 published genealogies.

Bolivia under Morales and the Indigenous Issue
By Lee Jay Walker
Tokyo Correspondent – THE SEOUL TIMES
|President Evo Morales of Bolivia
President Evo Morales of Bolivia promised to challenge the status quo when he was elected and he is still sticking to this policy despite the complex political situation. Therefore, the indigenous issue alongside social disparity and implementing radical reforms are still part and parcel of the Morales political camp. Despite this, the political situation is still tense therefore can Morales overcome many countless obstacles that he faces?
It must be remembered that President Morales re-wrote the history books because he became the first fully indigenous head of state since the Spanish Conquest changed the landscape of South America. This in itself was revolutionary but more important, Morales firmly believes in socialism and the need to create a nation based on social equality. However, while the political landscape may be changing, it is apparent that elite vested interests remain and the future of this divided nation is far from certain.
For this reason, Morales called a referendum on August 14, 2008, in order to increase his power base. Of course this was a gamble but the gamble was rewarded because 67.4% of the electorate supported Morales. Therefore, the opposition was dealt a severe blow because Morales was given a fresh mandate but differences still remain in many parts of Bolivia.
From the outset the indigenous population and the marginalized believed that they had a head of state that would help to redistribute power, wealth, and land. After all, the Movement for Socialism (MAS) had been involved in many social protests prior to taking power. For example, during the Cochabamba protests of 2000 the socialist movement made it clear that their loyalty was with the alienated and dispossessed. Therefore, MAS promised to help the marginalized via genuine reforms and part of these reforms would come via the redistribution of gas wealth and by implementing land reforms.
However, you still have major opposition towards Morales and in the past tensions have erupted over many different issues. For example, in early 2007 around 20,000 miners took to the streets after Morales introduced a tax hike. While more threatening for Morales, six of the nine governors who have power throughout Bolivia are opposed to him. The Santa Cruz region, for example, is blessed with an abundance of oil and agricultural resources, and clearly the political leaders of this region are not happy about Morales. Similar ill-feelings can be felt in La Paz, Cochabamba, Beni, Pando, and Tarija.
The major issues in these areas are varied but clearly centralization and declining revenues are at the heart of the matter. The same can be said about challenging the status quo and undermining the traditional nature of Bolivian society, whereby the landowning class had major power. Given this, many governors are demanding greater autonomy and the need to introduce de-centralization policies.
Morales and MAS responded towards this major threat via the introduction of a new Bolivian constitution. Therefore, Morales lambasted the opposition in Santa Cruz last year for "fomenting and funding the autonomy movement in a bid to grab national resources." He further added that he would not tolerate the break-up of Bolivia because the demise of Bolivia would merely create more chaos and lead to greater poverty.
At the moment, however, the opposition appears to be too divided and they are mainly concerned about regional issues or preserving their power base. These divisions mean that Morales can further bypass the opposition by appealing to the masses and by rallying them around the unity of Bolivia. Also, it is still apparent that Morales is widely respected amongst the indigenous population, the marginalized, within the socialist movement, and amongst other groups which are represented in Bolivia.
Jim Shultz, director of the Democracy Centre, which is a human rights organization located in Bolivia, states that "This is a country that has existed in a state of de facto apartheid for decades, centuries, millennia, depends on how you want to count it." He further added that "For people who were used to being marginalized, even though they're the majority, to see somebody who looks like them, who dresses like them, who talks like them, become the president of their country, you can't underestimate the emotional symbolism of that."
For now, Morales remains popular amongst the poorest in society and within the indigenous population. Yet poverty remains a major issue and the boom years of past high prices for petroleum is over at the moment, so an easy source of revenue will not apply in 2009 if prices remain in the doldrums. Therefore, Morales needs to implement "real reforms" because an economic downturn could unleash new political forces and the opposition will try to make the most of any natural divisions.
At the same time, Morales needs to become more pragmatic with regards to international foreign investments because many international investors are worried about past infringements. This applies to nationalization and a less than fluid legal framework.
Overall, it would appear that the road ahead is still rocky and the opposition will pounce on any major internal crisis given the opportunity. Given this, it is essential that Morales implements more pragmatic reforms and steadies the socialist power base. He also must try to reach-out to the opposition because they are not united, and he can reduce their collective threat via genuine compromise when it is applicable and in the interest of Bolivia.

She stars in a string of new TV commercials for companies including Geico, NutriSystem and Merrill Lynch. In an interview with The Wall Street Journal, King explains that when she came out two years prior to her retirement in 1983, she instantly lost millions in corporate sponsorships: "Everyone was so homophobic. And people wonder why people don't come out. Why, if you're going to treat us differently?"

The grand total cost of pulling off a national hoax is whatever balloon-making supplies go for, $US42,000 in fines and 30 days of jail time. Richard "Balloon Dad" Heene probably considers that a bargain in the world of attention-whoring.
After Heene's wife confessed to her part in his grand hoax, we knew that punishment would come. Sadly it's in the form of a mere 20 days of jail for Mayumi Heene and 30 days for Richard Heene. Mr Heene will also be serving an additional 60 days in a work release program and four years of probation during which he is forbidden from "profiting from the Balloon Boy hoax".
I sincerely doubt that this is the last we'll hear of Heene, but let's enjoy the four years of quiet, shall we? [TMZ]

When it comes to maxing out your mattress sessions, wetter is usually better. Since your natural wetness can decrease at times due to a variety of things (for instance, stress, medication and birth-control pills), adding lube helps ease penetration so sex is pleasurable and not painful. But using lubricant can be effective even when you don't have vaginal dryness. It boosts below-the-belt sensation and allows your man to thrust longer and harder without causing you discomfort.
Though lubrication can be made from water, oil, petroleum or silicone, water-based lube is your best bet: It's safe to use with condoms (oil- and petroleum-based lubes can cause latex to deteriorate); it's easily washed away (you're at greater risk of getting an infection with silicone-based lube because it isn't water-soluble, so it's more difficult to wash it and any lingering bacteria away); and it won't stain your sheets. If you're prone to yeast infections, use a water-based product made without glycerin (sugars found in glycerin feed yeast, causing it to multiply) for the same slippery satisfaction.
Once you've scored some slick stuff (try it out solo to find a brand you like), keep it close by your bed for easy access. When you and your man are fooling around, fire up foreplay by pouring a nickel-sized dollop into your palm and rubbing your hands together to warm it up. Then, slowly spread it over the tip of his penis and work your way down his shaft. Have him return the favor and smooth some over your hot spots, too. When you're ready to do the deed, give each other lube jobs again, only this time rub the lubricant over his condom. You can enhance his sensation by adding a drop into the tip of the condom before rolling it on.
During sex, replenish the lube whenever you feel a little dry. Simply stop for a second, have him pull out so you can reapply it over his condom, then let him glide back in. Just make sure you don't overdo it: A little wetness will ease penetration, but too much can make it impossible to generate frisky friction.

As graduation looms on the horizon, my mind has begun to drift to the bar exam which I plan to take this summer. It is a bit frightening that the bar exam is even a topic 3Ls are kicking around these days. It seems that only last month that we were 1Ls preparing for our first ever law school exam: Torts. (Another benefit of the co-op program: alternating between quarters in school and quarters on co-op tends to make time fly!)
I came across some interesting information recently, so I thought I would share. The bar exam consists of two days of testing. One day is a multi-state multiple-choice exam that is standard for test takers across all jurisdictions. The second day is a state-specific essay exam. This is common knowledge. What is not so often publicized to 1Ls or pre-law schoolers is the subject matter tested on the bar exam. I found it interesting that there are relatively few topics that the bar exam covers. On the multiple-choice portion of the exam, the only topics covered are torts, contracts, evidence, constitutional law, criminal law/procedure, and real property. The state specific essay exams often test a few additional topics such as corporations, secured transactions, and civil procedure (note: these testing topics vary from state to state).
I find it surprising how few classes are required in preparation for the bar exam. By the time you graduate from NUSL, you will have enrolled in 8 classes as a 1L and 16 classes as an upper level student. Most first year classes are topics covered on the bar exam: torts, contracts, constitutional law, civil procedure, criminal justice, and real property. But upper level classes are a different story altogether. The majority of classes you can take as an upper level student will be topics that are not tested on the bar exam. Out of approximately 24 total classes you will take by the time you graduate, more than 14 of those classes will be non-bar exam subjects. This provides you with great flexibility to shape your own curriculum during your tenure at NUSL.
Despite the popular myth that Evidence is a curriculum requirement at NUSL, an upper level law student is not required to take any specific class, including those that are tested on the bar exam. That said, I have found bar-exam classes like Evidence, Corporations, and Trusts & Estates to be some of the most interesting and useful classes for life on co-op.
If you have any questions about the various types of classes I have taken while at Northeastern, please don't hesitate to drop me a line.

HOMESTEAD, Fla. — It had been a humbling 24 hours of championship racing for Roger Penske when he settled in for the plane ride back to Detroit.
HOMESTEAD, Fla. — It had been a humbling 24 hours of championship racing for Roger Penske when he settled in for the plane ride back to Detroit.
That's because his heart had been broken in California, where Will Power coughed away the Indy-Car title by crashing out of the season final�.
The disappointed team owner then made his way to Chicago for the opening race of NASCAR's 10-race championship series, where Penske driver Brad Keselowski stole a surprise win over five-time champion Jimmie Johnson.
It was a tremendous emotional swing for Penske, who said to no one in particular on that flight home, "Well, we raced with the big boys today. And we won."
"That really struck me when he said that, because Fontana was the lowest of the lows, a tough night," said Walt Czarnecki, a Penske executive for more than 40 years. "To come back the next day and win Chicago with Brad, it was such a turning point for Roger. He was energized to race with the big boys, and to beat them. And to do it after losing Fontana with Will. It helped."
Penske, the most successful team owner in open-wheel history, has little to show for 40 years of NASCAR. Keselowski, the 28-year-old blue collar antiestablishment Michigan native, could change that for "The Captain" — just as he promised in a passionate speech to Penske four years ago.
Keselowski takes a 20-point lead over Johnson into today's season final� at Homestead-Miami Speedway, where a finish of 15th or better will give Penske his first Sprint Cup title. It would have been his first ever NASCAR championship if Keselowski hadn't won him a second-tier Nationwide title in 2010 — his first season with Penske Racing.
These are the trophies Keselowski vowed to deliver when he reached out to Penske in 2008.
He was driving for JR Motorsports in the Nationwide Series and locked into a developmental deal with Hendrick Motorsports, but didn't see a Cup ride opening anytime soon. So he asked Penske what he had available, even though Penske wasn't exactly the dream destination for NASCAR talent.
Penske has won 23 national championships in open wheel racing and 15 Indianapolis 500s, and his passion and his focus are usually on directed on that part of the motorsports program. Although his NASCAR organization had 61 wins before Keselowski arrived, it only contended for a championship once — in 1993 when Rusty Wallace won 10 races and still finished second to Dale Earnhardt.
It's a baffling hole in the resume of one of the most successful businessmen in America.
"Roger Penske is an unbelievable owner and person, and what's surprising is he hasn't won more championships, multiple championships," NASCAR chairman Brian France said Saturday.
Rick Hendrick, winner of 10 Cup titles and owner of Johnson's car, echoed the sentiment and almost sounded as if he's rooting for Penske to finally win a title.
"I'll be the first one in Victory Lane to congratulate him if I can't win it," Hendrick said. "He's one of my best friends. I respect him. I think the world of him and his family and he just does a remarkable job at everything whether it's racing or the automobile business. He's just a hero of mine.
"And I don't know why he hasn't won yet, but I do know I don't run over in IndyCar, but if I did, I'd be spanked by him."
In fairness, Penske was out of NASCAR from 1981 until 1991, and Czarnecki said they discovered "the sport had clearly changed" upon their return. And Penske himself has admitted that NASCAR wasn't always a priority to him.
"This hasn't been our main focus. Many of the teams running in NASCAR haven't had the responsibility of the IndyCar side, too," Penske said. "We've run the Porsche cars and the long-distance racing. But I think our focus today, we've emerged as a competitor. We've been good in the past, but we've never been able to close the deal. Hopefully that will be a different case this year."
It can be traced to Keselowski, who demands more of Penske's time and energy simply by being himself. He's relentless in his passion and enthusiasm for winning and wanting to turn Penske Racing into an elite NASCAR organization, and he presented Penske with a list of things he and crew chief Paul Wolfe believed were needed for the team to be better.
"They provide me with a list of the things that they feel we can make the team better and the car better, to the point Brad thought we should upgrade our fitness center," Penske said. "Nothing to do with racing, but the team, human capital."
Keselowski, a constant texter and tweeter, keeps the 75-year-old Penske busy on his phone. Texting. Texting. Texting. Constantly engaging with the race team.
Those who have been with Penske from the beginning see similarities in the relationship between owner and driver to the one Penske had with Rick Mears, the four-time Indianapolis 500 winner and current Penske driver coach and consultant.
"Roger was so impressed with Rick as a person starting from the very beginning, they just clicked," said Dan Luginbuhl, Penske's vice president, emeritus. "You need people that are dedicated, that are 110 percent all-in. Rick Mears was one of those people, and I suspect Brad Keselowski is one of those people."
Penske is one of those people. His motto for all of his companies is "effort equals results," and it's not lip service, either. The race track is his weekend golf game, and figuring out how to get to Victory Lane is his recreation.
"Nobody is working harder throughout the company than my father and people see that," son Greg Penske said. "I think the culture he has set of doing things only one way, and that's the right way, that's how we operate our businesses. People see that and they understand when they wear our logo and wear the Penske brand, it means quality and it means performance. He's built that, and when people see him work hard, it makes you want to work hard.
"That's been instilled in all of his children and all of his employees: You work hard to get ahead. That's the message he teaches."
Now all the hard work, all the effort put into 1,396 entries dating to 1972, will be rewarded Sunday barring some bizarre setback. It can happen, though, and it did two months ago to Power at Fontana. But should the "Blue Deuce" team follow the Penske plan and fill that void on the impressive Penske resume, the team owner won't want his employees thinking it's about him.
"Sure, it will be wonderful for him, but it will be more of a statement about the building of an organization," Czarnecki said. "Roger gets as much enjoyment out of seeing the people who contributed enjoy the fruits of what they've done. It's not about him. His success is built on his humanity. Roger doesn't hold himself up over anyone else in the organization."
"He respects people, whether it's the guy sweeping the floor or the bank president. He's able to extract performance from people that way."

The cinnamon buns are warm and ready for even the earliest risers at Johan's Pastry Shop (565 W. Mitchell, 231-347-3815). Open at 5:30 a.m., the shop will have a behemoth J-Bun in your hot mittened hand before sun-up. That leaves plenty of time to get to Mineral Well Park (across from City Hall, 201 E. Lake) for a snowshoe through the violet morning light along the Bear River.
Keep your blood pumping with a gallery walk. You'll find fab Michigan artists at the Gaslight Gallery (200 Howard St., 231-348-5079); a colossal body of fine art photography by Venice-born local Luciano Duse at Luciano (221 E. Lake St., 231-347-3157); stunning stained glass at Shadetree Studios (417 Howard St., 231-347-1011); and, if you're lucky, Up North-inspired impressionist painter Valerie Thomson at work at Valerie (219 E. Lake St., 231-487-1642). Spy the church spires in the cityscape? That Victorian-style former church is now the Crooked Tree Arts Center, (461 E. Mitchell St., 231-347-4337) where, with two galleries, art studios and an intimate red-velvet-seat theatre, there's always something to see. Hit Cold Nose Productions (437 E. Mitchell St., 231-348-8271) and Art and Soul Studio (433 E. Mitchell St., 231-348-7577) for crafty classes.
Pick up gourmet goodies at Symon's General Store (401 E. Lake St., 231-347-2438). Don't miss Symon's downstairs cellar: Walls and walls of wine nabbed this nook a note in Food & Wine as one of the nation's 50 best wine experiences.
Afterward, two floors of floor-to-ceiling reading (and cozy chairs in most every corner) assure bookworm bliss at McLean and Eakin Booksellers (307 E. Lake St. 231-347-1180). Then sled, skate and ski away the afternoon at Petoskey Winter Sports Park (1100 Winter Park Lane, 231-347-2500). Come sunset, get to Petoskey State Park (2475 M-119, 231-347-2311) to watch the sinking sun slice rainbows over the giant jewels of shoreside ice.
Back downtown, stroll the gas-lit streets, then slip into one of the old school-elegant half-moon booths in the historic Perry Hotel's H.O. Rose Dining Room (100 Lewis St., 231-347-4000).

There is a rumor they may try and make boards next year.
The 3boards are a pefect shape for a snowkiteboard, I have lots of boards for resort and big mountain pow riding, so having a board with this shape that just kills powder and makes kiting easier is sweet.
If you are only going to have one board to snowboard and snowkite with on groomed trails its not the 3b.

Quoting John Wiseman's writeup:
... lets you use Lisp to leverage the XMLHttpRequest/Ajax technique that's used to such good effect in Flickr, Google Suggest and Google Maps to create real-time interactivity without page loads.
CL-AJAX is designed for use with Araneida, providing a handler to vend exported functions over HTTP. It also generates the Javascript for you to call, returning the values to a callback of your choice, and includes some useful JS to do common callback handling (e.g. replacing an XHTML element by its ID with a new one from the server). CL-AJAX is heavily inspired by ModernMethod's SAJAX, a PHP (originally) and now multi-language library to call server-side functions from client Javascript using XMLHttpRequests. The backends seem slightly different, but getting them to work together wouldn't be too much effort... I think..!

On the list of problems for the Jaguars, Mike Mularkey pitching a fit falls way down the list.
But he wasn't proud of himself for his tantrum, which cost his team a 15-yard penalty that led to a touchback on the ensuing kickoff.
Mularkey lost it when Colts quarterback Andrew Luck scored on a fourth-and-1, thinking officials didn't spend enough time reviewing the play. He said he thought his outburst might have clouded some judgement calls later in the game, as well.
"Really not very proud of it, to be honest with you," Mularkey said, via Ryan O'Halloran of the Florida Times-Union. "That's not good for your football team, to show that kind of frustration to them, and it sends a sign that it's OK, and it's not OK.
"I think it was a direct influence on the officiating crew that you're questioning them and putting them on the spot, and that may result in things later that were maybe gray and called because of what I did. That was not a good decision on my part."
Mularkey threw his headset and play card, leading to the rebuke from officials. The Jags coach said an official told him, "You can't do that," to which he replied "Neither can you."
But they did, and Mularkey had earned his first penalty, and one of the six 15-yard flags on his team. Ten penalties for 115 yards, both season highs, underlined the frustration of the 1-8 Jags, which is beginning to overflow.

Croatia want to hold talks with Manchester United's Adnan Januzaj about international future
Croatia are the latest country to confirm that they intend to talk with Adnan Januzaj about his international future.
By Jure Bohoric
Last Updated: 10/10/13 12:18pm
Reports have claimed that, through his mother, Manchester United player Januzaj also qualifies for Croatia.
Up to now, Januzaj qualifies for Albania, Serbia, Turkey and the place of his birth Belgium. He could also play for Kosovo - although they are yet to be recognised by FIFA or UEFA.
England are also interested in Januzaj, who in theory could qualify to play for them as early as 2016 through residency - depending on FIFA regulations.
But Croatia are now also confirming their interest in the Manchester United midfielder.
"One of the managers from Albania has told me that Adnan's mother is from Croatia so we are of course interested in him," Croatian Under-21 manager Ivo Susak told Sportske Novosti.
"His potential is amazing but we know we are facing an uphill battle for him.
"As for now he has no Croatian papers so this is an important issue. We are yet to speak with him but we are of course planing talks with this young player."

Grilling Hot Dogs with Dad
I remarked to my father than we had been doing a lot of salads and veggies lately and without missing a beat dad said, "I want to make bacon wrapped hot dogs," adding, "on the grill," pointing to a particularly appetizing recipe in our Mastering the Grill cookbook.
Note that, in spite of gender stereotypes, my he-man father is the main baker in our family, and I am in charge of anything to do with the grill. (Mom avoids both grilling and baking.)
So, when dad says he wants to make bacon wrapped hot dogs "on the grill," he means that he wants me to do the cooking, while he'll do the prepping, which is more than fine by me.
Ultimate Bacon Wrapped Hot Dogs
Do you like hot dogs, mustard, ketchup, cheese, onions, sauerkraut and bacon? Then this is the stuffed hot dog recipe for you!
It's all in there, held in place by a wrapping of bacon around the hot dog. You can easily exchange the toppings for others, though note that the sauerkraut does help keep the cheese inside the hot dog while cooking.
Grilled Bacon-Wrapped Stuffed Hot Dogs RecipePrint
- 1 teaspoon ketchup
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 4 large hot dogs, knockwurst, or kielbasa
- 1/2 ounce cheddar cheese, cut into long sticks
- 2 Tbsp chopped onion
- 1 cup refrigerated sauerkraut, drained, roughly chopped
- 4 slices bacon
- Vegetable oil
- 4 long hot dog buns
1 Prepare your grill for direct medium high heat.
2 Slice open hot dogs, coat with ketchup and mustard: Mix together the ketchup and mustard in a small bowl. In a separate bowl, mix the sauerkraut with the chopped onion, set aside.
Slice open the hot dogs, down the center, lengthwise, forming a deep pocket in each, but not cutting all the way through.
Coat the inside of each hot dog with the mustard ketchup mixture.
3 Stuff hot dogs with cheese, sauerkraut, and onions: Place a strip of cheese deep within the pocket of each hot dog. Top with sauerkraut and onions.
Encapsulate the cheese at the ends with the sauerkraut mixture as well, so that no cheese is exposed (otherwise it will drip out when cooking).
4 Wrap bacon around each hot dog: Wrap a strip of bacon around each stuffed hot dog, securing with toothpicks at each end.
Make sure you wrap tight enough so that the stuffing stays in, but not so tight so that when the hot dog expands will cooking the bacon would tear.
5 Grill the hot dogs: Coat your grill surface with vegetable oil so that the hot dogs don't stick. If you have a grill screen (a screen with smaller holes so that small pieces of whatever you're cooking don't fall through the grill), you can use it, just coat it with vegetable oil first and pre-heat for a couple of minutes.
Place the stuffed hot dogs on the grill, stuffing side down. Grill for 2 minutes, until the bacon on that side is cooked, turn the hot dogs a quarter turn and grill for a couple more minutes.
Continue to grill for a few minutes each on all sides until the bacon is cooked. Cover the grill in between turnings to help with the cooking.
6 Grill the buns: During the last minute of cooking, open up the hot dog buns and place them open-side down on the grill to lightly toast.
7 Remove toothpicks: Remove the hot dogs and buns from the grill. Remove the toothpicks from the hot dogs. Place the hot dogs in the buns and serve.

Microsoft's Trusted Computing has been much in the news recently, usually because consumers are worried that the system will grant media companies and software firms control over certain parts of a user's PC. But consumers aren't the only ones who have concerns about the system—police in the UK are also worried, and the government is in talks with Microsoft to do something about the problem.
The issue is BitLocker Drive Encryption, slated for inclusion in Vista. The system can encrypt a user's entire hard drive, making it almost impossible to access data if the drive is removed from the computer or otherwise tampered with. It works in conjunction with the Trusted Platform Module (TPM), a motherboard chip that generates secure keys. Under the BitLocker system, the key will never be stored on the hard drive itself, making the drive's contents more secure. The key is only released in the presence of the authorized operating system.
Though it sounds good for businesses worried about data loss or theft, the system also makes it simple for anyone to protect the entire contents of their drive with strong encryption. This can of course be done right now, but its widespread deployment in Vista along with the extra security provided by the TPM module has the police worried about losing access to information in criminal cases. Cambridge don Ross Anderson testified before a select committee in the House of Commons this week and sounded the alarm.
"This means that by default your hard disk is encrypted by using a key that you cannot physically get at... An unfortunate side effect from [sic] law enforcement is it would be technically fairly seriously difficult to dig encrypted material out of the system if it has been set up competently."
In the wake of this testimony, people turned to the Home Office to find out if anything was being done about the issue. It turns out that the Home Office is already in talks with Microsoft about the system, though they are obviously reluctant to spell out details of the conversations. Anderson, though, called for the government to establish a backdoor into Vista systems that would allow police to bypass the encryption and search the drive's contents.
Would Microsoft go for such a proposal? You may remember the furor that erupted back in 1999 when allegations surfaced that Microsoft had built an NSA backdoor into Windows. The controversy spooked China, which already had fears about using US software, and spuured on the development of Microsoft's various source code programs, in which source code was made available either for license or viewing to select governments and partners. Microsoft will certainly want to avoid another such controversy, but it would also like to avoid being called a criminal's best friend.
The issue is compounded by the fact that Microsoft sells Windows worldwide, and you can bet that every government on the planet would like the ability to bypass encryption. Can Microsoft set up a system that maintains the security advantages of the BitLocker scheme while still allowing access for legitimate law enforcement purposes? And who decides what counts as a "legitimate law enforcement purpose"? Microsoft certainly does not want to be put in the position of having to decide, but leaving it up to local courts is also problematic, as illustrated by the recent outcry over Yahoo's actions in China. And then there's the unspoken question here: has Microsoft already held talks with the NSA and FBI about the same issue?

A Mid-Life American Dream
I support entrepreneurs and the history of American innovation. I believe that in addition to individuals like Washington, Jefferson, and Adams, we owe a debt of gratitude to Edison, Ford, and Bell. The political and economic stories of America are not parallel, but intertwined.
I have written a book about a fairly recent development in the world of startup companies and entrepreneurs. Right now only a small percentage of Americans are participating, but only because there is a lack of accessible information. I hope to resolve that problem, and give a little push to the economic development of America.
My target audience is the sweet spot of U.S. consumerism: Baby Boomers. They are 76 million strong, and they are looking for meaningful and profitable ways to spend their time as they wind down their careers.
More specifically I am targeting Baby Boomers who are also accredited investors. There are approximately 10 to 20 million Americans in this category. These are individuals who earn more than $200,000 a year or have a net worth of over $1 million.
This book is about angel investor groups. These are groups of people who invest in startup companies together. This is NOT a business book. This is a book for wealthy people who do not have MBA's or accounting degrees.
I'm looking for a statue of liberty with angelic wings to grace my book cover. She should be stepping off the pedestal, right foot on tip-toes as she leans forward, and the left foot slightly back and already off the ground, with toe pointed somewhat back.
The perspective should be a profile shot of her left side, as if you were looking toward the North and she was taking off due West.
The style should be light, airy and sketchy. Her robe should be white and green, with green accents for the folds etc. Her headpiece must take on a yellow hue, and have an aura like a halo, but still be on her head.
The wings should be small, but still proportional, and light and sketchy as well. The wings should be even fainter than lady liberty herself. I'm not looking for muscular, archangel wings, and they don't necessarily need to look "attached."
The Title is "A Mid-Life American Dream." The subtitle is "The Rise of Angel Groups." The book cover will be matte, not shiny. The paperback book will be 4 1/8" by 6 7/8", and the spine will be 3/8" thick.
My preference right now is for a white background, but I am also open to a nighttime background of black, or a dusky purple background. and any duskiness must not just be a uniform purple, but instead artfully dusky.
Good luck, and look forward to lots of feedback.

NM Tech Professor Lara-Martinez Awarded Fulbright
by George Zamora
SOCORRO, N.M., April 3, 2007 – New Mexico Tech foreign languages professor Rafael Lara-Martinez has been awarded a Fulbright U.S. Scholar Program grant in the humanities and will spend the last four months of this year teaching at universities in El Salvador.
Under the prestigious program sponsored by the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs, Lara-Martinez, a native of El Salvador, will also be able to conduct further research into one of his specialized areas of study — the genocide of Salvadoran Indian groups during the 1930s and 1940s in his home country.
"At about the same time that I will be on my Fulbright, the University of New Mexico Press is scheduled to publish a book I recently co-authored with two other colleagues, which deals specifically with these types of massacres that occurred in El Salvador," Lara-Martinez points out.
The Fulbright U.S. Scholars Program sends about 1,100 American scholars and professionals each year to more than 130 countries, where the funding allows them to lecture and conduct research in a wide variety of academic and professional fields.
At New Mexico Tech, Lara-Martinez teaches Spanish, and Latin American and Hispanic studies, and has been instrumental in developing a Hispanic Studies minor at the university through the school's Department of Humanities.
Prior to his arrival at New Mexico Tech in 1994, Lara-Martinez was an assistant professor of foreign languages at Meredith College in Raleigh, N.C. He also has taught at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Hastings College in Hastings, Neb., and at several universities in El Salvador, Mexico, and France.
Lara-Martinez earned his doctorate in semiotics and linguistics at the University of La Sorbonne in Paris. His research fields of interest are in semiotics, or the study of language forms; cultural criticism; Latin American culture and history; regionalist and Indigenista novels; and the poetics and politics of ethnography.
Lara-Martinez's teaching and research interests also encompass Latin America's unique cultural history, literature, and poetry — especially the region's politically committed poetry.
"Literature and poetry in Latin America are very different in that they are not isolated from political life and public life," explains Lara-Martinez. "You cannot separate art from politics in Latin America; and it's that specific link that I continue to pursue throughout my research."
In addition to his soon-to-be-published UNM Press book, Lara-Martinez has several other published books to his credit, including an anthology of the poetry of fellow Salvadoran Roque Dalton, who was a founder of a guerilla movement that started around San Salvador, and who was killed in 1975, almost at the beginning of the Salvadoran Civil War.
Another of Lara-Martinez's books, Salarrué, o El Mito de Creación de la Sociedad Mestiza Salvadoreña, depicts the calculated genocide of a Salvadoran Indian tribe, which actually took place in 1932.
More recently, he wrote another book on the genocide that will be published in El Salvador: Balsamera bajo la Guerra Fria — El Salvador en 1932 (Historia Intellectual de un Etnocidio).
"Fiction is the only place where those Indians have their say," Lara-Martinez asserts. "A lot of the more traditionally written forms of history fail to acknowledge that history is essentially about people, what people believe or remember, and what happens to those people and how they experience the facts."

Being Bilingual May Boost Brain Health
January 2014
Being Bilingual May Boost Brain Health
Dementia is a growing threat to more Americans. In fact, experts predict that cases of Alzheimer's disease—the most common type of dementia—will triple by 2050. An aging population partly accounts for this uptick.
You can't avoid growing older. But you may be able to hold off dementia in other ways. A recent study suggests one tactic may be learning to speak a second language.
Benefits of being bilingual
In the journal Neurology, researchers in India reviewed the health records of nearly 650 older adults with dementia. They specifically focused on when study participants were diagnosed with the condition. They then looked at the number of languages each person spoke. Sixty percent of the people were bilingual.
From their review, investigators found a link between dementia and bilingualism. Those who spoke more than one language were diagnosed with dementia at an older age—an average of 4.5 years later. This delay remained even after factoring in other variables. Those included education level, occupation, sex, and rural or urban residence.
What might explain this connection? Experts suspect speaking multiple languages keeps your brain healthy longer. It prompts it to work harder. Your brain must actively switch between languages. In turn, that may hone your cognitive abilities.
More ways to stay sharp
Based on recent research, more experts are beginning to think dementia may develop over a person's lifetime—not just in older age. To some extent, its cause is genetic. But you may be able to prevent it like you do other conditions, such as heart disease. What's more, you are more likely to develop dementia if you have high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or diabetes. Preventing or controlling these conditions is one way you might avoid dementia later in life.
You can also stay sharp by following these steps:
Exercise regularly. It prevents not only dementia but also many diseases linked to it. Physical activity stimulates blood flow throughout the body, including your brain. It also spurs the growth of new brain cells.
Fill up on fruits and vegetables. Many of these foods contain high levels of antioxidants, such as beta carotene and vitamin C. Antioxidants may protect brain cells from damage.
Stay socially active. Spending time with family and friends can stave off stress. Too much stress can harm connections between brain cells.
Stretch your mind often. Mental activities—such as reading, doing crossword puzzles, and learning a second language—may fortify brain cells. They may also spark the growth of new nerve cells.
Dementia refers to several similar diseases that impair brain function. These diseases can erode memory, problem solving, and language skills. They may also cause personality and behavioral changes.

Berkshire Hathaway Inc. announced today it will acquire the Omaha World-Herald Co., a transaction that should close in late December, pending approval of the World-Herald's shareholders.
What will Wall Street make of this latest purchase by CEO Warren Buffett? Donna Dudney, associate professor of finance at UNL's College of Business Administration, studies and teaches a course in Buffett's investing strategies and behavior. Here are Dudney's thoughts on the latest acquisition by "The Oracle of Omaha":
"The purchase seems like a natural fit for Berkshire Hathaway. Buffett has frequently said that he is interested in purchasing companies that are understandable and within his circle of competence. Buffett has extensive knowledge of the newspaper business, and has on occasion said that if he hadn't gone into money management he probably would have gone into journalism.
"He has owned many newspapers, starting with the purchase of the Omaha Sun newspaper in 1969. Berkshire has been a major investor in and member of the board of directors of the Washington Post since the 1970's, serving as a confidante and advisor to Katherine Graham and Don Graham. Buffett certainly understands this business and knows how to analyze the value of the World-Herald.
"Buffett also looks for companies with a durable competitive advantage. The World-Herald is in the top 10 newspapers in the country in terms of the percentage of subscribing households in its market, and its digital news site dominates the Omaha market. While nationally the newspaper industry faces substantial challenges, the World-Herald has a sustainable niche as the dominant provider of local and regional news in Nebraska.
"The thing that I find most surprising about this acquisition is its small size. The performance of the Omaha World-Herald, even if is exceptional, will not move the needle on the performance of Berkshire Hathaway. However, it is an investment that is right in Buffett's backyard, with management that Buffett knows and likes. My guess is that Buffett liked the fundamentals of the company and was able to purchase the company at a very attractive price."
Reach Donna Dudney, UNL associate professor of finance, at (402) 472-5695 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
What about the acquisition's effect on the World-Herald's newsroom and its performance as a news enterprise? Gary Kebbel, dean of the UNL College of Journalism and Mass Communications, says there are many positives to Buffett becoming the new owner of the state's largest news operation:
"Most people will think that, obviously, Warren Buffett buying your stock and buying your company is a vote of confidence in your management. It also means that it's a vote of confidence in the future of your business.
"This allows the Omaha World-Herald to be much stronger, because it won't have to worry as much about its capital needs for expansion, improvement and innovation. This development gives the World-Herald a huge opportunity to extend its brand to all distribution platforms — even ones that haven't been invented yet — because they'll have the resources to do so.
"The really important thing, though, is this means the World-Herald is staying in local hands. What we know about the newspaper industry in general is that community news is in very high demand. Those locally owned newspapers that are delivering information about their communities and their communities' needs have been stronger in comparison to large metropolitan papers. By their nature, metros have not been able to create as strong of community ties, particularly in tight geographic areas.
"If you're wondering how this might change the World-Herald, my advice would be to look at his other similar holdings, the Washington Post and the Buffalo News. Has he interfered in those newsrooms? The answer is an unequivocal no."
Reach Gary Kebbel, dean of the UNL College of Journalism and Mass Communications, at firstname.lastname@example.com. Telephone interview requests can be arranged through Steve Smith, Office of University Communications, (402) 472-4226 or email@example.com.

"Supervised by director Steven Spielberg and renowned sound designer Ben Burtt, Raiders of the Lost Ark has been meticulously restored with careful attention to preserving the original look, sound and feel of the iconic film. The original negative was first scanned at 4K and then examined frame-by-frame so that any damage could be repaired. The sound design was similarly preserved using Burtt's original master mix, which had been archived and unused since 1981. New stereo surrounds were created using the original music tracks and original effects recorded in stereo but used previously only in mono. In addition, the sub bass was redone entirely up to modern specifications and care was taken to improve dialogue and correct small technical flaws to create the most complete and highest quality version of the sound possible while retaining the director's vision. The result is an impeccable digital restoration that celebrates the film and its place in cinematic history."
Looks like everything from the 2003 bonus disc is making it over to the Blu-ray, with the exception of the trailers, which may be on the individual movie discs.
You know the only change I'd ever like to see in Raiders would be for them to remove that wall of fire when Belloq's head explodes.
it wasn't there originally and they only added it in to avoid an R rating. It'd be better without it.
For the first time ever, the first three films in the Indiana Jones saga will be available individually in high definition when they arrive on Digital HD November 19, 2013 and on Blu-ray with a digital copy available through iTunes December 17, 2013

Our friend Dino was in town this week (yes, the one we recently celebrated his going-away, my guess is he can't live without us for more than a month – awesome!). Not only were we excited to get together with him, it was also his birthday. So a grand celebration was in order.
His wife Keltie arranged an unforgettable evening by combining a reservation at probably one of the most fun places to host a table of 14, and ensuring we were started off with some prosecco and a plate of antipasti before they arrived. The set-up was absolutely perfect – a long island between the kitchen and the restaurant floor served as a perch for all the guests who anxiously awaited their arrival. It was like we were in someone's home kitchen, only much more grandiose. And we were literally in the kitchen, so the culinary entertainment was constant.
Here's the antipasti plate we nibbled at. Olives, eggplant, mushrooms, beets, cauliflower, red onion and carrots, all pickled in-house. Dollops of earthy pea purée decorated the plate. And savoury proscuitto, salami and tapenade just begged to be gobbled up with the thin, crisp baguette toasts. The prosecco this was paired with was one of the best I've ever had – 2010 Bisol Crede Valdobbiadene Brut.
We were all given the table d'hôte menu which we were able to modify slightly if needed. As we grabbed our seats at the island and waited to order, Dino ordered a couple of fresh mozzarella bricks stuffed with gooeyness. If you can picture melting cheese inside the cheese, well, this was pretty much it. So easy to spread on the crostini and oh-so-heavenly. You have to try it. Fresh tomato halves and Sicilian black salt were added bonuses to the dish.
My first table d'hôte plate was the beet and arugula salad with a cherry vinaigrette. Strawberry slices, blueberries and minted goat cheese truffles garnished the outskirt. But the most memorable part of the dish – ribbons of anise-pickled beets. Our apps were paired with a 2009 Castello di Verduno Basadone (100% Pelaverga), a delicious pre-main-course red.
The primi plate was homemade fettuccine pasta with tomato meat ragu and Parmigiano Reggiano. As good as it sounded, I opted for the second choice of the antipasti instead (to save room in my tummy). Fresh tomato basil soup with garlic cheese crostini. It could have used a bit more basil as the flavours were hidden by the intensity on the tomato, but very good nonetheless. The wine we sipped alongside was a 2004 Cantine Madonna Delle Grazie Aglianico del Vulture Bauccio. I'll say it now, one of the best things about going with a large group means getting through the wine bottles faster, thus tasting way more. Although they do offer many wines by the glass.
Our secondi was a choice between spring salmon and market vegetables (above). There was a slice of both pacific and atlantic. Those eating the fish drank a 2007 Valtellina Superiore Riserva Sassella which I believe is 100% Nebbiolo.
Or beef tenderloin with asparagus, roasted brussels sprouts and root veggies. The menu called for roasted fingerling potatoes as well but there were none. Ok though because at this point, I was pretty stuffed and very happy to have them omitted. The beef was a tiny bit overcooked for my liking, but the quality of the meat more than made up for it, melting away in my mouth with every bite. The wine paired with this dish was what I consider a perfect wine, deep ruby and full bodied. 2007 Nero di Troia Paolo Petrilli, Il Guerro from Puglia.
My dessert shot, that I thought was the best one of the night, actually didn't turn out at all. Sad. My husband and I split both of our choices, really, how could you pick one of these over the other!? Chocolate sponge cake with chocolate ganache and fresh mint, and lemon budino (creme brûlée).
I think for this type of atmosphere, I would have expected the service to be a little bit more polished. It was a bit awkward, although the height of the island could be the culprit. Not quite as easy as serving a table. It also took quite a while to get through our meal, which on the weekend I would embrace, but not so much during the week. They did acknowledge that. But the chefs, sommelier and server were all super friendly and extremely attentive to our every need. And really, what more could you ask for. I'd take heartwarming staff over a stiff perfectionist waiter without a personality any day.

During college football season, football analyst Lee Corso routinely tosses out the phrase, "Not so fast," when disagreeing with picks from fellow gurus for college football games.
While the college football season is winding down and only bowl games remain, that phrase isn't about to leave the vernacular of listeners and viewers anytime soon on a local level -- although it won't be coming on ESPN.
Instead, that's the phrase members of the Hays National Education Association are living by when referring to the Hays USD 489 Board of Education.
Hays-NEA recently filed an investigation request alleging a potential violation of Kansas Open Meetings Act against the school board. The complaint, filed Sept. 13 by KNEA UniServ director Kathy Rome, alleges the members of the board "violated the KOMA in offering a contract to the interim superintendent."
While Hays-NEA members have no qualm with Superintendent Dean Katt's work -- at least from a public standpoint -- they are concerned with the manner in which the decision to hire him on an interim basis took place.
"(The filing) was something that was supported by a majority of the officers and building reps that make up the Hays-NEA," Rome told The Hays Daily News. "I never would have filed something like this if they were not supportive of it."
The board tabled a decision at the Aug. 19 board meeting to wait until the Sept. 16 meeting to take action on the interim superintendent position.
On Aug. 23, the district announced the board selected Katt to fill the interim role for the year.
The move caught the attention of Hays-NEA members, who put forth a request with the Kansas Attorney General's office to investigate the matter. Rome also filed the notice with Ellis County Attorney Tom Drees.
After not hearing anything nearly two weeks later, Rome filed the paperwork again.
"This has nothing to do with Mr. Katt at all," Rome told the HDN. "It's simply that we feel that our school board should follow the laws, and follow the procedures as they should be."
KOMA is a law guaranteeing anyone the right to observe governmental policy makers that make decisions affecting your life, according to the state's attorney general's website. School boards fall under this category.
If the board failed in living up to KOMA procedures, Hays-NEA members are asking Katt's contract be voided.
Whether or not this is the case remains to be seen. But the fact the union members are keeping a watchful eye on the local school board and its actions is a comforting thought. When a large portion of tax dollars go to educating our students, all we can ask is someone keeps an eye on the system of checks and balances.
We have no worries Katt will fill the full-time role satisfactorily.
He's already proven a worthy replacement for the retired Will Roth and given new insight to the district.
But when an official the board members voted to hire labeled the district as "non-managed" recently, it's reassuring another group is looking out for the best practices when dealing with taxpayer dollars.
We only hope Hays-NEA members and the rest of the public continue with a "not-so-fast" approach while dealing with future educational needs -- and the best interests altogether -- for the district as a whole, especially with the possibility of a bond issue floating in the air.
Hays-NEA should be applauded for its interest in securing ongoing, open dialogue between board members and those who voted them into office.
