Quality standard ensures reliability and quality of TrakLok cargo security systems.
Knoxville, TN (PRWEB) July 03, 2014
TrakLok, Inc., a cargo security firm specializing in trailer and container security, today announced it has successfully completed its fifth ISO-9001 audit. The internationally recognized quality management standard helps ensure that the companys integrated lock, alarm and tracking system for trailers and containers is designed and produced so customers receive a consistent, good quality product.
We knew the ISO process would challenge our management to maintain a complete quality system and drive our company toward continuous quality improvement, said Tom Mann, president of TrakLok. The ISO standard helps ensure that our product is safe, reliable and of good quality, and that we are reducing costs by minimizing waste and errors and increasing productivity. The quality of our cargo security system is reflected in the high reliability and efficacy of our product offering.
Following internal audits as part of ISO 9000 to check how its quality management system is working, TrakLok chose the DQS UL Group as its independent certification body to verify that it is in conformity to the standard. The DQS UL Group is one of the leading certification bodies for management systems worldwide and is well known for diligence in quality system audits and its alliance with Germanys first certification body for management systems.
The ISO 9000 standard set criteria for a quality management system and addresses various aspects of quality management. The standard is based on a number of quality management principles including a strong customer focus, the motivation and implication of top management, the process approach and continual improvement. ISO (International Organization for Standardization) is the worlds largest developer of voluntary International Standards. ISO 9001 is implemented by over one million companies and organizations in over 170 countries.
About TrakLok, Inc.
TrakLok® International LLC represents the coming together of a cargo security company and a wireless design firm to create a robust and intelligent cargo and container security device to combat cargo theft, especially when transporting high risk and high value loads. Located in Knoxville, Tennessee, the TrakLok cargo security system includes: a hardened cargo lock that withstands prying, cutting, or impact tools; an integrated alarm that sends alerts for unauthorized attempts to access cargo; and a GPS tracking system with a cloud-based Web portal that allows access to real-time information on location and cargo integrity with geofencing capabilities.

BA upgraded us to business class, the ability to lie down is great for pressure relief. The middle seats are a bit claustrophobic. Tonight we try out economy plus.
The weather is hot and sticky but the shopping was ok.

Hi peoples - had a great time last night on the rickshaw ride - great fun! Alan had an unfair advantage in the rickshaw race - he had a Superman cape on the back of his.

Arriving in Singapore was a total change from where we had been...we back to somewhere similat to Hong Kong and opther major cities.

Historical Traveler Reviews Gallery Hotel Singapore
Not Worth 4 Stars
This Hotel is most definately the worst 4 star hotels i've ever stayed at (and i've stayed in quite a few!). With the exception of the service on the front desk which is Okay there are few positive comments i can make on this hotel.
A very nice hotel!
I've read all these reviews before I decided to stay in this hotel; and I never regret it. Everything was great. Staff were generally attentive; though I needed to remind them twice before they came to fix the desk lamp. The buffet breakfast was the BEST I've ever had in hotels - great choice and tasty. The room was clean and bright. Essential items such as toothbrush and paste, shampoo, soap, hand and body lotion, shower cap, shaver, and even sewing kit were provided in the bathroom. The free in-room internet connection was superb. I didn't bring the internet cable along and they lent it to me free of charge. I also enjoyed very much the river-side stroll down to Boat Quay. The only down side, I think, was the air-con which was too cold. I turned it low, yet the room was freezing. Overall, this is a very nice hotel and I'll certainly stay here again and recommed it to my friends.
Everything you've heard about this hotel is true
Yes, it is minimalist, trendy, hip, funky etc - all bright neon colours and stainless steel etc. etc.
Genuinely warm and caring service!
Yes, the hotel decor was fun and trendy. The glass walled cantilevered pool was an absolute trip, and the Glazzhaus Room where I stayed had a beautiful view of the city skyline. But what made my experience truly memorable were the staffs who were genuinely warm and caring.
I travelled with a friend who injured his leg and had difficulty walking. Everyone assisted in making the trip a pleasant one, including constantly bringing up buckets of ice to the room for the cold compress, microwaving a gel pack at the Zenden for the hot compress, and inquiring on the progress of my friend's healing.
Would definitely recommend the Gallery to anyone interested in a unique personalised hotel experience in Singapore.
Great Hotel both for business and holiday
Hotel is better than expected. Not the usual 4/5 star hotel you expect. Great value for money especially with FREE broadband internet access. Like the rest said, everything about this hotel is funky, trendy and hip... Good location too, away from the busy shopping or CBD areas yet just mins away.
Great Hotel!
We had a great stay at The Gallery Hotel! We really liked the rooms because they were so clean and modern with a lot of sunlight. Each morning there was also a newspaper outside the door. Very nice. The pool is very nice but they need to put out a few more lounge chairs. The service was great and the front desk gave us great advice about shopping and transportation. You can take a bus to Orchard Road or Bugis - it takes about 10-15 minutes and cost 80 cents. Great restaurants are within walking distance - Brewerkz and Iguana to name a few. Great hotel - would definitely stay again!
Funky hotel with a difference
The Gallery Hotel is an excellent hotel for those who are wanting a funky, trendy and different type of hotel. Everything is cool about this hotel, from the crisp reception area to the colourful and efficient restaurant on the 5th floor.
Quite nice
I liked the relaxed atmosphere. Good, young staff and pleasant surroundings. Location is also good. No subway nearby but a lot of buses and both Orchard Rd and Chinatown are a 15 min walk away. (I didn't have to negotiate a steep hill to get to an MRT station as mentioned in one of the reviews). Breakfast not a lavish spread but good quality.
Good but not great
The best thing about this hotel is its proxemity to a number of good restaurants. Within a five minute walk there are a number of places to eat and plentiful bars.

By CHRIS MORRIS
The face of the Floyd County Council could change following the Nov. 6 election. Two incumbents running for re-election face challengers and the council president, Ted Heavrin, was defeated in the May primary and will be leaving the council Jan. 1.
Currently, the council is made up of four Democrats and three Republicans. On Election Day Nov. 6, voters will choose three of six at-large candidates.
Incumbents Carol Shope and Brad Striegel seek another term and will be joined on the ticket by fellow Democrat Larry Clemons along with Republican challengers Steve Burks, Billy Stewart and Jim Wathen. Voters can vote for three of the six at-large candidates.
Shope, 69, is seeking a third term on the council while Striegel is completing his first term. Clemons finished third in the Democratic primary ahead of incumbent Heavrin, and will also be on the ticket.
Shope said she wants a third term to finish some unfinished business.
"I believe there is still a lot that needs to be accomplished," she said. "I have a good sense of direction and vision where we should be headed."
Shope said working with the city and funding a third Camm trial are at the top of the list.
"We don't have a choice, but I am not happy about it," she said of another Camm trial. "I would like to see 911 dispatchers brought together to save money. There is just too much division between the city and county. Floyd County is just not big enough for us not to get along."
Striegel, 34, said the "greatest challenge facing Floyd County is the budget." He said he would like to see the county grow, which would help bring in more tax dollars.
"I would like to see the county attract new businesses," he said. "I want to meet with business leaders to see what can we do to attract businesses to Floyd County."
Striegel also said he wants to work better with the city.
"It doesn't look like we will be able to mend fences concerning the parks, but I know the county will do what we can to keep parks open and not compromise services," he said. "I hope some good comes out of this. Maybe we can restructure some things."
Shope, a former school teacher and business owner, said she wants to focus on quality-of-life issues.
"I have been encouraged to run again by several groups. I like politics," she said. "We desperately need more businesses in the county. I'm proud of downtown [New Albany] but the fringe area is growing."
Striegel said the upcoming capital murder cases definitely "put a burden on the budget."
"The budget shortfall has been an issue for several years. I want to make sure quality of life is not affected by those murder cases," he said. "I'm tired of [David] Camm being an excuse for not getting behind important issues."
Calls made to Clemons seeking comment were not returned.
"I think people in this county are ready to make a change, from the top down," said Stewart, 52, a Republican and former president of the Georgetown Town Council. "I think we will do well if people vote for the person and not the party. If people vote party lines, we probably lose. It would be nice to pick up two of those seats."
Currently, all three At-large council members are Democrats. Wathen, 64, who lost in a recount to Larry McAllister for a council seat eight years ago, hopes to get the nod this time.
"I hope folks give me their support this time around," he said. "I only have to be in the top three this time around. I have learned in Floyd County to win as a Republican, you have to have some Democrats vote for you. Hope I get enough of them."
Wathen said he thinks it's time for some new faces on the council.
"I think the council could use some new blood and some new thinking from time to time," he said. "I'm not saying they have bad leadership. I just think they need some new ideas."
Wathen, who worked in financial services for more than 30 years, said he wants to know more about the county's budget process. He also said he wants a strong parks department.
"You have got to have enough people on the council who believe in the parks. You have got to focus on quality-of-life issues in order to attract people and businesses to your area," he said.
Stewart said from attending county council meetings in the past there is too much rubber-stamping and not enough questions asked.
"There is no questioning on spending ... no priorities at all. They just rubber-stamp everything without asking questions," he said.
He points to the Floyd County Garage and how the council approved unnecessary spending to replace items following a fire at the facility a few years ago.
He also said the county and city must find a way to work together.
"Splitting the parks department was not a good thing to do," he said. "What about the employees? Will there have to be layoffs? We can't keep playing political games and must look for ways to provide better services and save taxpayers money."
Burks, 52, lead pastor at New Albany First Assembly of God Church, said more questions need to be asked when it comes to spending money.
"Spend less than we make and ask the question 'is it a wise thing to spend money on or a good thing,'" he said in his election questionnaire. "My answer is we spend it on wise things."
He also county government needs to become more transparent through "innovation and technology."
"While it may sound simple, people have become cynical when it comes to politics even on the local level," he said. "I think we must earn trust again."
Burks did not return a call seeking comment for this preview.

RALEIGH — A Selma woman has been charged with a felony for what her arrest warrant describes as the attempted sale of counterfeit NFL jerseys.
Laura Lee Lockwood Brown, of 660 Old Dam Road, was arrested on Monday by state Alcohol Law Enforcement agents.
She is accused of putting 24 of the jerseys up for sale, an arrest warrant states. The jerseys were valued at $150 each, the warrant states, though it is unclear if she was selling them for that amount.
Brown, 42, apparently was held at the Wake County Detention Center under the name Laura Lee Cooke. Her bail is set at $2,000.

Insensitivity to deceased
In response to the June 28 column "Habit-health disconnect" by Froma Harrop: I was mortified by her lack of sensitivity. James Gandolfini's funeral was held just recently, and I am astounded by her sweeping generalizations and assumptions regarding this man's life and health choices soon after he was laid to rest.
Based on the way she wrote the article, she must be a close acquaintance to speak so pragmatically about the choices he made in his life, his "orgy lifestyle of careless eating and drinking" and the medical care he sought. I cannot begin to imagine how his family would react after reading this article as I was devastated by her judgmental tone.
Yes, obesity is a problem in our society and perhaps some people cannot be helped, but her lack of compassion and professionalism in using this brilliant actor's notoriety to boost her viewership is appalling. I mourn the loss of this brilliant artist as much as I mourn the loss of decorum and sensitivity in journalism.
I hope no one speaks as ill of Harrop at her death in print or private as no one deserves to be referenced in this way.

In the garden
Growing a fall vegetable garden
Harvesting vegetables out of your own garden is very satisfying. Vegetables you grow yourself just seem to taste better, and it's particularly nice to know they also help reduce the grocery bill.
You can continue to enjoy home-grown vegetables until first frost or, in some cases, until several weeks after the first freeze if you begin putting a fall vegetable garden in now.
In Central Virginia, the first frost usually occurs around Oct. 15, so early August is the right time to begin planning and planting.
"We'll start our seeds during the next couple of weeks," says Henrico Master Gardener Robin Bryant, who's planning a fall garden with residents at the home where she works as a counselor. "It will be time to take out our squash, and that frees up a big space for planting."
Last year Bryant raised fall crops of lettuce, beets, collards, turnips and kale in her garden. "Some crops will even overwinter here," she says. "Last year, I thought the kale was dead and started to pull it out, but my boyfriend suggested we leave it in, and it came back in the spring."
Many vegetables can be grown in the fall, and the flavor of some, such as cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli, spinach, Jerusalem artichokes, and Brussels sprouts may actually be improved after a frost.
If they're mulched, kale, spinach, onions, lettuce, parsley, parsnips, carrots and salsify can be enjoyed throughout the winter.
Before planting fall crops, you may need to restore nutrients removed by spring and summer crops by adding compost or a light application of a complete chemical fertilizer to your soil.
Seeds need to be planted in moist soil so plant after a rain or water thoroughly the day before. The Virginia Extension Service recommends sprouting seeds indoors before planting for a fall garden. Sprouted seeds can be planted deeper than normal which helps prevent them from drying out.
Bryant hasn't tried sprouting her seeds before planting, but she agrees that attentive watering is a must, especially after seedlings begin to appear. "You have to keep watering," says Bryant. "Water, water, water, every day, sometimes even twice a day, or the little seedlings are not going to make it."
Insects may not pose the same problems in fall vegetables because their peak activity is usually in mid-summer, but you'll still need to check the plants periodically. Rotating crops so that those in the same family are not put back into the same space in the garden can also help prevent disease and pest problems.
"When I was a child gardening with my father, we only had a summer garden," says Bryant. "But when I became a master gardener, I learned about fall gardens and started planting them."
"We really enjoy our gardens," she adds.
Fall gardens help optimize production from your gardening space, and they can be an opportunity to try again if something you planted in the spring didn't grow. As Henrico Extension Agent Lisa Sanderson says, "Gardening is always a lovely learning experience."
Agencies combine on new entry point to Chickahominy
Canoeing and kayaking enthusiasts soon will have a new access point to the Chickahominy River. VDOT, the James River Association and Henrico County Parks and Recreation are teaming up to establish a new site in Eastern Henrico.
The James River Association negotiated the deal with VDOT to procure official access to the area located just east of I-295 on North Airport Road in Sandston. The site includes a park-and-ride commuter lot bordering the Chickahominy River and has been an unofficial launch site used by paddlers for years. > Read more.

A big fundraising effort for Katrina is underway today right here in our area. It's called Operation Gulf Relief, and the goal is simply to reach out to those hit hardest by Hurricane Katrina.
Tens of thousands of dollars poured in for the American Red Cross, and it was all thanks to their local efforts. Whether they pulled up or walked up, all were there for the same reason-to help victims of Hurricane Katrina.
"People need help. This is like the worst disaster that we've ever seen," said local, Diane Horvath.
It was all part of a day-long fundraising effort: Operation Gulf Relief; to collect money for the American Red Cross. Since 7:00 a.m., Charlottesville residents stopped by the Colonial Auto Center parking lot along Route 29 to drop off either cash or checks.
"The reason we're doing just strictly cash today is because it's an immediate need situation," said organizer, Tom Powell. "It's still an on-going disaster. We're in the process of setting up the supply chains."
With that money, the Red Cross can make sure hurricane victims get at least the basic necessities.
"Financial gifts give the American Red Cross the ability to make on site decisions to get that food, shelter ,and water to those who are in need," said Lonnie Kirby with the American Red Cross.
Some who donated say they didn't even have to think twice about reaching in their pockets.
"I had do. How can you not do something? I'd love to be able to do more. It's heart wrenching to watch what's going on and this is the only thing I can do from here," said local, Betty Titterington.
It's something the Red Cross hopes others will also do. Right now the Red Cross has collected just over $29,000.

I write about women, economics, politics, and where they all overlap.
SCOTUS has spoken: The U.S. Supreme Court just upheld the Affordable Care Act, saying that the individual mandate is constitutional as a tax. This is fantastic news for the nearly 50 million uninsured Americans.
Women in particular should pop the champagne and celebrate. Of those millions of uninsured, 19 million are women. Up to 10.3 million of the low-income among them will now be covered by Medicaid by 2014 when the law goes into full effect. Although the uninsured tend to use less medical care, and therefore spend less than the insured, altogether they spend about $2.64 billion out of pocket each year. (Not to mention that being uninsured leads to a greater risk of death.) They can rest assured that the Supreme Court won't get in the way of their insurance coverage, which should mean more accessible and affordable care.
Women are big financial winners in this decision in other ways. The first is the elimination of gender rating, or charging women more because they're women, pure and simple. The National Women's Law Center recently found that in states that haven't banned the practice, over 90% of the best selling plans charge women more than men, even though only 3% of them cover maternity services. In fact, even when maternity care is excluded, almost a third of plans charge women at least 30% more than men for the same coverage. One plan even charges 25-year-old women 85% more than men. All told, the practice costs women about $1 billion a year.
That will now become illegal in 2014, after the ACA is fully implemented. Insurers will no longer have free reign to charge women whatever they like for no discernable reason. That extra $1 billion in our pockets sounds pretty good.
Had the individual mandate been struck down, as many assumed would happen, women could have been the first victims. Premium rates would have almost surely risen – read Sarah Kliff's great account of what happened under an incredibly similar scenario in Washington State not too long ago for empirical evidence. There were many estimates of how much premiums would have risen without the mandate: The RAND Corporation predicted that they would rise by 9.3 percent ; the Urban Institute estimated a 10 percent rise; the CBO put it far higher, at 15-27 percent. Even with RAND's lower estimate, it anticipated the average premium to rise by $534. Given that women are targeted for gender rating, their costs would have very likely risen faster than others'. The Supreme Court's decision offers protection from this scenario.
On top of all this, much of women's preventative care, including contraception, Pap test, mammograms, and domestic violence screenings, will be covered without copay. An 18-year-old woman can expect to shell out $11,842 over her lifetime in copays for hormonal birth control and mandated doctor's visits, but now she can put that money in her pocket next to the money saved from gender rating and medical expenses.
Women also have a long history of being denied care because of preexisting conditions, including some dubious so-called "conditions." Think that pregnancy is a normal course of life? Insurance companies have been known to treat women who seek coverage when they're pregnant as if they have a preexisting condition. Even women who gave birth through previous Caesarean section – about a third of all births – are thought to have a "condition." Think the victims of sexual abuse and assault have enough to deal with as it is? Add to their burdens the denial of coverage because receiving treatment related to that abuse has been considered a preexisting condition. Now that the ACA is free to stand, that practice will no longer be tolerated, either.
Other gains women will make now that health care reform will stay on the books: Maternity care is a required coverage area. Meanwhile, nursing mothers will be given mandated breaks and a private place to express breast milk at places of employment that have 50 employees or more.
While it's clearly a moral imperative that we give as many Americans access to quality, affordable health care, it's also a financial issue for millions of women. With the Supreme Court's affirmation of the Affordable Care Act, they stand to see a big boost to their bottom lines. They can rest easier today knowing that their health care costs will be lower for years to come.

that's exactly my point. if i was uninsured i would rather take the average 50 dollar cost for medical bills. but now if i want to be uninsured i have to pay the $50 and pay additional taxes.
Basically Obamacare FORCES men to once again foot the bill for women.
Time for men to get their balls back and stand up to this emasculating culture: http://manhood101.com
The king has ordered our road to be built. Now, who shall build the road?
Boy, this writer is all over the place.
Bottom line, it is not my our anyone elses responsibility to take care of anyone else who is capable of doing so themselves.
Obamacare is a sexist, discriminatory nighmare that denies basic life saving mdication to men, and uses the money to pay for trivial perks for women. Shame on Forbes for endorsing this bigotry.

So, now that gov't controls health care market, what happens when right wingers own DC as they will sooner or later? If gov't stays out of health market (fat chance) you, and no one else, control your health care. I don't think you're going to like this as much as you think. Women's health care and lifestyle choices will be curtailed by majority opinion. I hate that for my sake and for the sake of the women in my life.
Also see Bill Whittle's clear, succinct analysis of the consequences of assuming that health care is a right. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3S9dwP-fV3o&feature=youtu.be
Wow, I never expected to see such a nasty sexist comment on Forbes. Interestingly he seems unwilling to post his full name (@Sharm).
That of course has nothing to do with my comment but perhaps indirectly it does. I'm very happy about all of the positive changes that will benefit women. For too long, in business, in healthcare, in just about every area of life what is "normal" is specifically male and what is different is everything else and therefore not to be taken seriously. Since women are technically a majority in this country it stands to reason that what effects women effects everyone. Proper healthcare and fair treatment means improved productivity at work (improvements as a caregiver as well). How can this be bad, ever?

I made these yesterday; however, I made a couple slight variations and I doubled the recipe. 1) I soaked the beans overnight; 2) instead of water, I used a 32 oz. container of chicken broth and hot water until the beans were sufficiently covered; 3) I omitted the celery & 4) instead of doubling the cajun seasoning by adding 6 Tbs., I added only 4 Tbs. It was spicy enough for those who like spicy foods and not too spicy for those who aren't big fans of spicy food. Everyone loved it and we have enough left over (it made a HUGE batch) that we can freeze some for later!

Former Army Ranger Justin Gingrich designs knives. (COURTESY PHOTO)
- Filed Under
Justin Gingrich found the ultimate way to translate his military experience into a civilian commodity: become a knife maker.
The former Army Ranger and staff sergeant took a job designing knives for the American Tomahawk Company after his enlistment, and then decided to branch out on his own, launching Ranger Knives.
His designs are so successful, they've even made their way onto the silver screen, making a cameo appearance in "The Hurt Locker."
"I started my own company because I wanted to see the average Joe be able to get good gear," Gingrich says. "At the time, it is very hard for a Joe to afford a good blade so Ranger Knives was born."
Based in Blue Earth, Minn., his blades are top quality and cost $45 to $150; each design is military inspired.
"It comes from what I would want from a blade for the jobs I used to do in the military," he says.
He also offers practical blades made of titanium, steel, carbon fiber or stainless steel for civilian use, though he only produces about 150 custom knives a year. He has since merged with Ontario Knife Company, which mass-produces some of his designs.
Gingrich says he really doesn't have a signature style. Instead, his goal is quality.
"I get accused of over-building them all the time," he said. "The Ranger Knives are pretty much bombproof."

Graduate Program in Nutrition Receives National Ranking
Recently released results from the National Research Council ranks the Penn State Graduate Program in Nutritional Sciences among the nation's best.
- Eating lean beef daily can help lower blood pressure
Contrary to conventional wisdom, a growing body of evidence shows that eating lean beef can reduce risk factors for heart disease, according to recent research by nutritional scientists."This research adds to the significant evidence, including work previously done in our lab, that supports lean beef's role in a heart-healthy diet," said Penny M. Kris-Etherton, Distinguished Professor of Nutrition, Penn State. "This study shows that nutrient-rich lean beef can be included as part of a heart-healthy diet that reduces blood pressure, which can help lower the risk for cardiovascular disease."
- Key factor in neonatal zinc deficiency may impact lactation and breast cancer
Penn State researchers may have found a way to recognize women who are at risk of having low milk zinc levels. It started when her son was just two months old with a diaper rash that would not go away. The blisters eventually spread across his body, including his face. He soon began to suffer from chronic ear infections, unusual for an exclusively breastfed infant who was not in day care. By the time he was six months old, his mother noticed that he was not as active as other babies his age, and he was also failing to gain weight."The pediatrician told me that my son was allergic to my breast milk and that I should wean him onto infant formula," she says. "I refused to stop breastfeeding, because I knew 'breast is best.' Instead, I eliminated all possible allergens from my diet. Only organic foods crossed my lips. Out went cow's milk, all things soy, eggs, gluten, and the dreaded peanut, but nothing helped." That's when the woman contacted Shannon Kelleher, associate professor of nutritional sciences.

McALESTER — Pittsburg County Commissioners were notified of a tort claim by former Pittsburg County jail inmate against the county during Monday's regular meeting in the conference room of the Pittsburg County Courthouse.
According to court records former inmate James Christopher Payne, convicted of one count of felony stalking in 2010, has filed the claim against the Pittsburg County Commissioners, Pittsburg County Sheriffs Department, Sheriff Joel Kerns, Jail Administrator Missy Eldridge, and the Oklahoma Department of Corrections.
Payne was incarcerated in 2010 for one county of felony stalking for posting a picture of a plaster cast of a woman's face with a knife through it on MySpace and stating repeatedly that he is going to kill her. He also allegedly repeatedly stalked the woman between Dec. 8 2009 and Jan. 12, 2010, according to court documents.
According to the tort claim from attorney Derek Ingle of Corley and Assoc. in Tulsa, Payne states he was allegedly incarcerated at the Pittsburg County Jail for three months beyond his release date. The claim states Payne is seeking an award of money damages to the maximum allowable.

Cooperstown Crier
---- — Robert Miller ended his tenure as school superintendent at Cherry Valley-Springfield Central School with some fanfare, some smiles and his typical presentations and opinions.
Miller met with the CV-S Board of Education for the final time last Thursday, one day before his final day at the school. Several times during the extended meeting, he repeated, "one more day, one more day."
Miller took over on Monday as superintendent of the Herkimer Central School District. Richard Rose, who retired after 25 years at Canajoharie, took over as interim superintendent at CV-S.
Rose, who will be paid $500 a day, said he expects to be on the job until September or October.
Miller presented a final budget as part of the board's open hearing on the budget before Tuesday's vote. No district residents attended the meeting, and nothing had changed on the budget since it was set last month.
No residents attended the special meeting before the regular meeting either. That meeting affirmed the school's mini-project to replace the doors in the school. The mini-construction project is out to bid now. Every year, the board picks one project based on the maintenance survey of the school done in 2010. A new survey will take place in 2015.
Miller also made presentations on a school Facebook site and voiced a final concern, recommending that the board end the sixth-grade Safety Patrol Trips to Washington, D.C.
Because of the cost of the trip, only a third of eligible students are going on the patrol trip, but it is a school sponsored trip that uses school days.
"It is something that has been bothering me since I have been here," he said. "My problem is that we are telling those 21 kids that aren't going that they don't get the same opportunity."
Although they later approved this year's trip, he board seemed to agree with Miller that it was necessary to end the trip in the future, noting that the fifth-grade leadership group takes a similar trip to Albany.
Miller also pointed out that the group itself is less necessary than it had been in the past.
"When you had two schools, you had kids walking to school and you needed crossing guards," he said. "After the merger, everybody gets on a bus and comes out here and that falls away."
Miller said the board could not end the Safety Patrol because the adviser's position is in the teacher's union contract, but the board could stop appointing an adviser.
After most of the business had been dispensed with, several faculty and administration gave thanks to Miller for his four years leading CV-S.
Miller appeared to be most touched by a sentence of gratitude from CV-S senior Andrew Spencer.
"I guess you've been a pretty good superintendent, Mr. Miller," Spencer said.
Miller smiled and responded, "Wow, that's high praise."

The majority of scientifically trained biologists and geneticists are taught that the apparent design that is observed in cells is the result of only random chemical and energy processes operating over eons of time. Such a belief system prompts their thinking to rest on purely natural logic, producing materialistic conclusions - and often ignoring or marginalizing the implications of careful engineering and design.
There are, however, multiple thousands of scientists who accept the Bible's message that there is a Creator who planned the creation, designed the intricate engineering efficiencies in that creation, and then built the product: our planet and its wonderfully unique life and functions. That belief system not only fits empirically with what is observed (design, precise function, operational efficiencies, etc.), but provides insight that enables creation-based scientists to grasp the significance of the information more readily - without having to invent a supposed eons-long story for the development of what is actually observed.

If you've been reading this column, we've already given you the lowdown on the RPGA's newest shared-world campaign, Living Forgotten Realms (see the RPGA Report in Dragon #365 for more information). But let's say you're interested in getting a Living Forgotten Realms game organized for your group. What do you do? Where do you go? Look no further, the answers are here!
First, you'll need to become an RPGA member. The easiest way for an organizer to become a member is to enroll in the Wizards Play Network (or WPN). Read over the material on the site and follow the process to become a Gateway-level organizer. That enrolls you in the RPGA and gives you a number. Activate that number, and you'll receive a second email with your password. Hang on to your number and password; you'll need them to order adventures and sanction events.
Before ordering your first Living Forgotten Realms (LFR) adventures, you'll want to read over the material for LFR on the RPGA website. In particular, you'll want to download the "RPGA Character Creation Guide" so your group can create characters specific to the LFR campaign.
Most LFR adventures run about 4 hours long, which makes them great for an evening of gaming. They're serialized in nature; most of the plot elements begin and end in the span of the adventure, with possibly a few clues that point toward future adventures. LFR adventures are easy to prep and let your group get a taste of all sorts of different regions in the Forgotten Realms.
Next, get your group organized for your first session. You might want to ask them what adventure they'd like to play; a complete list of Living Forgotten Realms adventures is available on the LFR pages. Or you can just surprise them and pick one that sounds fun! All the adventures released in August and September 2008 (3rd Quarter 2008) are designed for 1st- to 4th-level characters, which is what you'll want when you begin.
Once you've figured out what you want to do for your first adventure, you'll need to sanction the event to receive the adventure via download. You can even sanction your game on the same day that you're going to play! This is straightforward; click on the link located on the left nav of the RPGA home page labeled "Sanction an Event." You'll log into your profile and then be taken to the event sanctioning page. Click on the Dungeons & Dragons logo and follow the steps to set up your event type and fill in your event details.
After you've filled out those details, you'll get to select adventures from the library. There's a handy filter you can use to show only Living Forgotten Realms adventures; it's located at the top of the page. After selecting each adventure you want by clicking the "add" check box next to those adventures, hit the button at the bottom of the viewable adventures to add them to your event. Once you're satisfied with what you've ordered, hit the "Next" button, and you'll confirm your event.
Then, check your email inbox to ensure that a confirmation of your event has been sent. You can find the adventures you selected under the "My Events" tab in your profile when you're logged in.
Download the adventures when you're ready and distribute them to your DMs (or read them yourself if you're the DM). Make sure you print out enough copies of the story award certificates and tracking forms for your game. You'll need one tracking form per session and one certificate for each player playing in the session.
Then, have a great time with your game! Be sure to fill out the tracking form and log back into your profile once you finish the session to report your play. Reporting play ensures that the data is loaded into the character tracker for each character. If you've signed up for D&D Rewards, you earn points that get you cool D&D swag!
Once you've gone through the sanctioning process once, it's easy to repeat for future events. If you ever have a question about sanctioning or reporting your games, simply send an email to us. We'll get back to you right away with a response!
That's all for this time. Next time, we'll talk about being a DM for Living Forgotten Realms. Until then, good gaming!

DURHAM — The boys' basketball teams from Southern Durham and Panther Creek were having a rough go of it to start their Tuesday night game.
No one had scored at the first timeout of the game, almost halfway through the first quarter. With just 3 minutes and 27 seconds left in the first quarter, Panther Creek finally scored the game's first bucket.
It was that kind of night for the Catamounts. But wins still count, even if they're not pretty. Panther Creek has three wins in as many tries following its 51-38 road win against the winless Spartans (0-3).
"This is an opportunity for us to face some adversity at some point throughout the game. The message for tonight is who are we and how are we going to respond," Panther Creek coach L.J. Hepp said.
It seemed that Southern might have been feeling the effects of having just played a game the night before – and playing its third game without members of the football team.
But that first basket from Panther Creek (3-0) seemed to give Southern players what they needed. The Spartans scored 10 unanswered points at the end of the first quarter to lead 10-2.
But as Hepp had talked about, the Catamounts responded.
With quick baskets from Nubian Spann, Juan Munoz and Gaquez Hudson (game-high 14 points), Panther Creek started to fuel enough momentum to go into the locker room up 21-19 at halftime.
Hudson's eight straight points in the third quarter – highlighted by a four-point play – gave Panther Creek more than enough cushion. Southern was still struggling on the offensive end and trailed the Catamounts 38-26 going into the fourth.
Southern never came within 10 points of Panther Creek the rest of the way. Amari Hamilton and Zane McClure led the Spartans with 12 points.
The Catamounts have allowed no more than 38 points in any contest this season.

Franklin Barreto's two-run single in the bottom of the ninth inning lifted the Bluefield Blue Jays to a 6-5 win over the Princeton Rays on a unseasonably cold and rainy night at Bowen Field in the final Mercer Cup game of the 2013 season.
"It was a good comeback win for us," said Blue Jays manager Dennis Holmberg.
Bluefield's comeback was necessitated after the Rays got two-run home runs from Bralin Jackson and Hunter Lockwood in the top of the ninth to erase a 4-1 deficit and give Princeton a 5-4 lead.
Chase DeJong started on the mound for Bluefield and Hunter Wood for Princeton. DeJong was shaky at the start, allowing two runners to get on in the first and working deep into the count with several hitters. However, at one point he struck out six of seven batters and kept the Rays off the board in the first three innings.
Wood walked a batter in the first and Bluefield got their first hit in the third, a solo home run by Jesus Gonzalez, to take a 1-0 lead. Wood pitched into the fifth inning and did not allow any more Blue Jays runs, although he did give up two hits in his final inning, giving way to Luis Cabrera who retired the side.
Princeton got its first hit in the fourth, a one-out double to just inside the third base line by Lockwood. He tied the game when he scored on David Garcia's single to left, just inside the line and past a diving Mitch Nay at third.
The game remained tied until the sixth. Tim Locastro singled up the middle to open the inning and went to third on Nay's double to right. Both came home on Matt Dean's single to center, putting Bluefield back on top 3-1. Dean later scored on a Cabrera wild pitch to make it 4-1.
Mark Biggs and Tim Mayza both came on in relief for the Blue Jays, Biggs in the fifth to toss two hitless and scoreless innings and Mayza in the seventh. He pitched an inning-and-two-thirds and allowed one hit. Brett Barber came on to record the final out in the eighth.
The action began in the ninth. Barreto made a spectacular play at short to get Leo Correa out on a grounder up the middle then Enmanuel Paulino had an infield hit deep in the hole at short. Enter Jackson who drove Barber's pitch over the wall in right to bring Princeton to within a run of the lead at 4-3.
Coty Blanchard got aboard on another infield hit to short but was erased when Armando Araiza hit into a 5-4 fielder's choice. Lockwood then hit a towering blast over the wall in left to give Princeton a 5-4 lead.
"You've got to give the offense credit. They came back, put us in a position to win the ball game and we gave it right back to them and we gave it back to them in a hurry," said Princeton manager Danny Sheaffer.
In the bottom of the ninth Gonzalez led off with what appeared to be a routine popup to short. Paulino, however, dropped the ball and Gonzalez was on. D.J. Jones came on as a pinch runner and D.J. Davis followed with a walk. Holmberg went to the bench and called on Angel Rojas as a pinch hitter for John Silviano. Rojas bunted between third and home, the ball was fielded by pitcher Isaac Gil, but he had no play, all hands were safe and the bases were packed full of Blue Jays with no outs.
Barreto, who joined Bluefield earlier this week from the Gulf Coast League, then hit a sharp liner to left. Jones trotted home and Davis sped around third and touched home with the game-winning run.
"The pop fly being dropped by the shortstop was huge. It created an opportunity and a little bit of a letdown on their side," Holmberg said. "I wasn't going to bunt with D.J. (Davis) and he drew a big walk. Rojas had been sitting for two-and-a-half hours and the first pitch he sees he bunts for a sacrifice that turns into a hit, and the rest is history. Barreto was one of the top players in the GCL. He's got a very good swing and he got a big hit to win the ball game."
Barber picked up the win while Gil was tagged with the loss.
Sheaffer talked of his starting pitcher, Wood.
"He threw the ball very well. He's on a pitch count so he couldn't finish the fifth inning. He kept us in the ball game," Sheaffer said. "The ninth inning just overshadowed what happened earlier in the game. You've got to make routine plays and we didn't do it."
Barreto and Dean each had a pair of hits for Bluefield, while Lockwood led Princeton with two safeties, a double and a home run.
West Division leader Bluefield opens a three-game set this evening with second place Pulaski at Bowen Field. First pitch is set for 6:05. Princeton starts a three game series at Hunnicutt Field against Danville with the first pitch also scheduled for 6:05.
The final tally for the 2013 Mercer Cup Series was Bluefield 10, Princeton 1.

Mercedes Russell's transformation into the nation's prep basketball player of the year took a turn between her freshman and sophomore years, when she grew five inches and moved from guard to the post.
The 6-foot-5 Springfield High School star who is headed to Tennessee in the fall says the shift made her a better player.
Others apparently thought she was good, too, because on Wednesday she was named the Gatorade Girls Basketball Player of the Year, becoming the first girl from Oregon to earn the honor.
Russell joins the likes of Lisa Leslie, Candace Parker and current Stanford star Chiney Ogwumike in receiving the award. Kevin Love, who played at Oregon's Lake Oswego High School, was honored with it on the boy's side in 2007.

A Better-Prepped FBI Director?
- By Charles S. Clark
- June 20, 2013
- Leave a comment
Conservative lawmakers and media outlets took notice on June 13 when departing FBI Director Robert Mueller appeared to muff an answer to a question on progress the bureau might be making in investigating the Internal Revenue Service for mishandling applications from largely conservative nonprofits seeking tax-exempt status.
In a repartee with Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, Mueller said he was not aware of how many agents or who within the FBI was at work on the probe promised back in May by Attorney General Eric Holder.
"This is the most important case in the country for the past six weeks and you don't know who the most important person is, leading the case?" pressed Jordan, a member of the Oversight and Government Reform Committee who is involved the panel's own investigation.
"Not off the top of my head," Mueller said.
"You've had a month to investigate, and you can't even tell me who the lead investigator is? This is what happened. You can't even tell me what happened?" Jordan said.
Flash forward to Wednesday, June 19, when Mueller appeared before the Senate Judiciary Committee. This time the IRS issue was raised by Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Ala., who said he had been on the phone that morning with one of the tea party activists who recently recounted her bad experience with the tax agency before the House Ways and Means Committee. "She told me she has been in touch with a lawyer and with other potential victims, and no one had interviewed her nor even had an appointment set up," Sessions said. "Is the FBI the lead agency in the IRS matter?"
"Yes," Mueller replied. "Over a dozen agents have been assigned, locally. I can tell you it falls within the purview of Valarie Parlave, who is assistant director in charge of our Washington field office. We also have people at headquarters who are monitoring it," Mueller continued, assuring Sessions that the bureau has responded to general complaints. But he didn't provide any more names.
"That seems pretty slow," Sessions said. "Are you running behind here?"
Mueller replied that he is not "familiar with the day-in-day-out details, but will go back and see where that is."
Sessions insisted that any good probe should start with contacting the victims and asking them what happened. Mueller responded, "As a prosecutor you obviously know you have to have the records so you have the requisite materials to do the interview. I'm hypothesizing because I don't know who at that particular level is doing interviews."
"I think it's too slow," Sessions said. "Somebody needs to go out and find out what the problem is. Talk to the people first." Mueller assured the senator "there is a sense of urgency within the agency -- it is not languishing."

A 63-year-old Chinese woman has been charged with prostitution for taking money to perform a sex act on an undercover state trooper.
Yindi Ding, 3090 S. Hermitage Road, was arrested June 6 at Ailian's Chinese Message Therapy, which is listed as the same location as her residence in court documents.
No date has been set for her preliminary hearing.
The case was referred to state police after Hermitage police received reports that employees were engaging in prostitution, offering massage customers sexual services for extra money.
Police gave this account:
The trooper went to the business and was greeted by Ding. He said he wanted a massage and she directed him to a room and told him to disrobe.
They agreed that the massage would cost $55 and Ding began the session.
Ding instructed the trooper to remove the rest of his clothes and turn over onto his back.
Through a series of hand gestures and in halting English, she told the trooper she would perform a sex act with her hand for $20. The trooper agreed but, when she touched him, he told her to stop because he had a telephone call. He then sent a text message to other troopers, who entered the business and arrested Ding.
