Thread: CA budget woes.
CA budget woes.
SACRAMENTO After weeks of political maneuvering in the Capitol, the coming month will go a long way toward determining how California's massive budget deficit will be resolved.
Gov. Jerry Brown has given lawmakers a March 10 deadline to call a June special election during which voters would be asked to extend increases passed two years ago to the personal income, sales and vehicle taxes. If he cannot get sufficient Republican support to call the election, the Democratic governor has said the alternative is deep spending cuts to close the $26.6 billion shortfall.
It's not clear whether any Republican lawmakers are willing to vote independently to support a ballot measure and, if so, what they want in return. Last week, Brown appeared before the legislative conference committee an extremely unusual move for a governor to debate ideas and implore Republicans to make him an offer that would persuade them to support the ballot measure.
And perhaps one of the most bias comments in the article
"Republicans believe tax cuts persuade business owners to create jobs, even though there is little evidence to support that."
democrats want to increase taxes, and extend other increases in taxes. That's one of the things that got CA in the major hole it is in now.'Political Correctness is a doctrine fostered by a
delusional, illogical liberal minority, and rabidly
promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which
holds forth the proposition that it is entirely
possible to pick up a turd by the clean end!'
A fear of weapons is a sign of retarded sexual and emotional maturity. Sigmund Freud
When you discover that you are in a hole, Rule #1 is "Stop Digging". I guess nobody in Ca has heard that old saw.
Car 4I would like my country back. I used to believe that one man could never destroy this country. Not so sure anymore!

The new, sexy Navy SEAL novel from New York Times bestselling author Lora Leigh
As the illegitimate son of Diego Fuentes, Ian Richards faces danger at every turn. Neither his father nor his fellow Navy SEALs knows which side he's fighting for—or against. Which is exactly how the game must be played…until Agent Porter enters the picture.
Kira Porter, undercover agent for the Department of Homeland Security, shadows Ian on his journey. She thinks she can see the real man beneath Ian's bad-boy exterior…but the ever-elusive Ian keeps her guessing at every turn. Is his goal to protect the Fuentes cartel from French terrorists? Or to do his father in for good? The only thing Kira does know is that her attraction to Ian is a time-bomb waiting to explode. With time running out on the Fuentes mission, she and Ian are drawn ever close to the edge of desire—and even closer into the line of fire…

I think that the photo of the football athlete near exhaustion tells a story. There is the concern of his fellow teammate as the assistant coach, at far right, looks back at him during an early morning strengthening program at Good Harbor Beach.
I just love the look in the eyes of this dog when it came face-to-face with a pig at the Blessing of Animals in Rockport.
I love the reaction of the player after he scored a goal and the dejection of the defender while they played in the rain and mud.
I love the looks on the young children's faces in this image, especially the girl on the right as she gasped at the reading of a scary moment during a telling of the story of "The Nutcracker."
There's just something about this girl's eyes as she tries to find her way out of the glass house at the Fiesta carnival.
I love this woman's reaction as she runs from a crashing wave that catches her off guard during a storm.

Lucy Wilks isn't afraid of heights.
The 13-year-old New Canaan CT resident will be facing a test of strength, balance, flexibility, technique and problem solving when she heads to the USA Climbing's Youth Bouldering Nationals this week in Colorado Springs, CO. The championships will be held Feb. 28 through March 2.
Lucy started climbing three years ago after spending a week at The Rock Club in New Rochelle, NY, for summer camp. She became hooked and was literally climbing the walls at home.
In the fall of 2012, Lucy joined The Rock Club's competitive team and started competing at local competitions held throughout the tri-state region. She climbs 3 hours a day typically 4 days a week. Her hard work has paid off as this will be her third time qualifying for a youth climbing nationals. To be invited to Nationals, climbers must place in the top seven of their region and one of five divisions in the country.
The bouldering competition is one of three disciplines in competitive rock climbing, the other two being sport climbing and speed climbing. Lucy also qualified and competed in the sport and speed nationals last July in Atlanta, GA.
When most people think of rock climbing, they think of sport climbing with large rock faces, ropes and harnesses. Bouldering tops out typically at 15 to 20 feet with no ropes but with padding to cushion the falls. Fall is the bouldering season for competitive youth climbing, followed by sport and speed competitions in the spring.
At the bouldering competitions, the climbers are scored on how successful they are at making it to the top of the different climbs that have been set up on artificial walls. Each climb is a unique problem the climber needs to solve in less than four minutes. Most climbers will not complete the climb on their first attempt. When a climber falls, they need to quickly recover, assess what went wrong and try again, perhaps with a whole new approach. While some problems test a climber's strength and endurance, others reward a climber who has great problem solving skills.
While most of Lucy's climbing is indoors on artificial walls, last summer she traveled with her coach and teammates to the Red River Gorge in Kentucky for 14 days of big wall climbing.
Rock climbing has been a popular sport in Europe and Asia for a long time and has seen a surge in popularity in the US in recent years.

More...Now that the Chicago Blackhawks have finally lost two regulation games, they've dropped from the top spot in the Super 16 power rankings. They had a decent run, sure, but it's time to take them down a peg.
The Anaheim Ducks have been quietly lurking in the Blackhawks' shadow all season, and with one regulation loss in 14 games and two since Feb. 1, it's finally time to push them to the top of the list.

Tuesday, June 21, 2005, Steelers.com
By Bob Labriola
He cringes visibly when someone refers to him as legendary, or as an icon, but
for a generation of sports fans in Western Pennsylvania, Myron Cope was an
institution. He wrote for them, he talked to them, he entertained them. When it
came to all of the sports they loved, he was a part of their lives.
Myron Cope announced his retirement on Tuesday after 35 years as the color
analyst for the Pittsburgh Steelers, and while that job is the one for which
he's most famous, he was so much more than that. In the field of sports
journalism, Cope was a triple threat.
As a writer, Cope's talent put him in the company of the best people Sports
Illustrated ever had under contract, and in Cope's heyday one of those
people was George Plimpton. As evidence, Cope's profile of Howard Cosell was
selected by Sports Illustrated during its 50th Anniversary as one of the 50
best pieces ever published in the magazine.
As a talk-show host, Cope literally was without peer in Pittsburgh, because
he was doing it well when nobody else even was attempting it. Cope's talk
show aired from 6-8 p.m., five nights a week, on WTAE-AM, and it gained a
reputation on the dial as a place to go for good, solid information.
As a color commentator on the Steelers' broadcasts, well, it's impossible to
believe anyone could've been more colorful.
And he was good at all of it, because he worked hard at all of it.
Nobody read more than Myron Cope, and everybody returned his telephone
calls. Even though he most often is associated with football, Cope didn't
give short shrift to the other sports. It was common to see Cope racing over
to Three Rivers Stadium on a weeknight after his talk show to catch the rest
of a Pirates game and then interview the manager and some players in the
clubhouse. The same thing happened in the winter, only then Cope's
after-show destination was the Civic Arena for a Penguins hockey game, or
maybe the Fitzgerald Field House for a Pitt basketball game.
Cope will go down in NFL history as the creator of the Terrible Towel, and
over the course of its 30-year existence that magical piece of terrycloth
has generated millions of dollars for the Allegheny Valley School, an
institution for the profoundly mentally and physically disabled. But even
though Cope always was someone who had a shtick, there also was plenty of
steak to go along with the sizzle.
Myron Cope was so good at his craft because nobody out-worked him. He was
thorough. He was diligent. And because he was both of those, he also was
often right. Cope was so respected that in 1983 he became the first member
of the broadcast media to be appointed by the Pro Football Hall of Fame to
its Board of Selectors.
But Myron Cope also was one of the guys. He never big-timed the other
working stiffs - whether they were newspaper guys or whether they worked in
radio or television - even though they essentially were his competitors. He
was always ready to buy the next round, or entertain the boys with a story
in which he himself often was the foil.
Here's an example: Cope often told the story of the time when someone
approached him at some function and mentioned that years ago he had gotten
Cope's autograph. Then without missing a beat, the guy told Cope, "And you
know, it might be worth something if you were dead."
During the news conference at the UPMC Sports Performance Complex announcing
his retirement, Cope said he felt somewhat strange sitting in front of the
media answering questions instead of being alongside them asking questions.
But there was a microphone there, and Myron Cope always came across as
comfortable when he was sitting behind a microphone.
Some excerpts:
On what he would say to the fans: "It seems like almost every time I leave
the house to go somewhere people stop me, strangers you see, and they say
very sincerely, it's evident; how are you Myron, how is your health, or
similar words, and I say, OK, coming along. Feeling better everyday. And
then they say are you going to be back this year, and I have been saying,
you betcha. So in that respect if I'm disappointing people, I'm sure that
they understand, but the obvious affection has been just indescribable to
me. The fans have been just wonderful."
On what he believes he has accomplished: "You have to keep perspective. To
me, I thought just this morning that I'm most proud of my credibility. I
have always guarded it. I want people to believe that if I say something, I
know what I'm talking about, at least partially, and that is what I believe.
I never played devil's advocate on my talk show in the almost 22 years that
I had it. I never did because I didn't want to say something and not believe
it, so I think people bought me � I was on the alert all the time -- are you
being credible, Cope?"
On how he would like to be remembered: "I've often thought that, when I kick
the bucket, there'd be a story with the headline, 'Creator of towel, dead.'
Truthfully, I was gifted and educated to be a writer. I made it as a writer.
People think I went into broadcasting for the money. That's not so. (Being a
writer is) what I was trained to be, and that's what I wanted to be. That's
what I thought I had a gift for. I would like to be remembered as a pretty
decent writer."
He also has earned the right to be remembered as a pretty decent guy.

Sun Devils will stick together despite rough patch
A season ago, after starting out 5-1, the Sun Devils tapered off dramatically with six losses in their final seven games.
This season, after earning a place in the Top 25 with an impressive 5-1 start, Kelly and Co. look headed for a similar nose dive after three straight losses to Oregon, UCLA and Oregon State.
But while the murmurs continue to grow following each new defeat, ASU's starting quarterback remains confident that 2012 will have a much better ending than 2011 had.
"You know we are disappointed, but I have great confidence in our guys," Kelly said. "They have great character when stuff hits the fan. This is the time when we are going to pull together better than ever."
While Kelly's vote of confidence is admirable given the team's current slump, the sophomore wasn't exactly in the trenches during ASU's late-season slide in 2011.
Running back Cameron Marshall was, however. And while he admits the plunge in the Pac-12 standings has its similarities to last season, the overall feeling in the locker room the senior says is not the same.
"We've experienced this before," said Marshall. "And, it's familiar and it's different at the same time, because this group of guys, I think our heads are in a different place than it has been before."
Marshall added that the Sun Devils still have plenty to play for over the final three weeks of the season and that the team's collective maturation will help them recover from their recent losing ways.
"I've just seen a lot of growth and maturity from a lot of guys on the team," said Marshall. "Guys who last season at this point in time might have been selfish and not playing for the team or the guys playing for the team the most, encouraging everybody else and other people.
"I think the maturity level has grown on this football team."
ASU will head to Los Angeles next weekend to face another slumping conference foe, the USC Trojans. Last season, Marshall helped lead the Sun Devils to a convincing 43-22 victory over Lane Kiffin's squad.

Fiskars and Duck Tape are teaming up to make the world smarter and more colorful together.
It's so easy with the new Fiskars® Duck® Edition scissors!
Fiskars has a huge assortment of holiday themed stamps and I was inspired to have a go at using them in a less traditional way. I used some Fiskars lever punches and border punches from the seasonal range to make some decorative gift wrap so that my bundles are ready for gift giving.
I bought some white tiles from a hardware store for less than .20c each. I made sure they were clean by washing them in warm, soapy water and drying them thoroughly. Next, I gathered some of the really fun Fiskars stamp sets and a permanent ink, suitable for stamping onto ceramic surfaces. I practiced a few designs on paper before committing to stamping the tiles. When stamping onto the tiles, I was able to get a very neat impression with the ink, though it is very useful to have a few Q-tips to hand to erase any unwanted ink spots or smudges. I used one end wet and the other dry.
After allowing the ink to dry, I sprayed the tiles with an adhesive spray. I experimented with several different finishes, and I found this spray gave a lovely glittery sheen to the tiles. Make sure to use the adhesive spray in a well-ventilated space (preferably outside) and allow to dry thoroughly. (This may take up to several hours to be dry to the touch but it will take a couple of days to be thoroughly dry).
Since it's always useful to have a few extra gifts on hand, I made two more sets of coasters using paper and fabric.
I found some wonderful handmade paper which I cut to fit neatly on my tiles with my paper trimmer. I then used my Fiskars corner punch to decorate the corners of the papers and adhered them to the tiles with Mod Podge. I gave the tiles about 6 coats of Mod Podge (allowing each coat to dry thoroughly before doing the next) to seal the surface.
I did the same with some fun Christmas fabric.
For my final set of coasters, I couldn't resist using the Fiskars' Seasonal punches to decorate the tiles. After 5 coats of Modge Podge, I finished them off with a coat of Modge Podge Glitter to give the surface a bit of Christmas sparkle.
Finally, to complete the tiles, I cut some cork sheets to the correct size with my rotary cutter and glued it to the underside of my tiles with my glue gun.

While at IPE, our employees had the opportunity to meet with many representatives from poultry organizations and companies. One of the individuals we had a chance to speak with was Dale Barnett, Executive Director for the Tennessee Poultry Association. Dale shared his thoughts about issues being faced by the poultry industry in 2013. Play the video to see what he has to say.
Professor Damien McLoughlin presented "Profiting from your Core" at Alltech's annual breakfast meeting during the IPE on Wednesday, January 30. During his presentation, Damien gave recommendations for sustaining continuous, profitable growth in the poultry industry through strong, well-defined core leadership.
Alltech employees are currently in Atlanta for the International Poultry Expo, one part of the International Production and Processing Expo.

Becky Timmons, Director of Applications Research and Quality Assurance, discusses the importance of DHA at Alltech's Global 500.
The world's population is quickly increasing, by the year 2050 the population is expected to increase to 9 billion people! High quality protein and other nutrients are needed to feed this growing population as the current food system in place cannot sustain this influx. Becky Timmons of Alltech, sees this challenge as an opportunity for the agriculture industry to sustainably provide the necessary nutrients for this growing population.

Why I Walk: Leanne D'Entremont '13
Forty other individuals and I walked 130 miles; each step taken to serve others. Along this journey some days were harder than others, but we marched on. Although our feet were filled with blisters, we marched on. Some of us never imagined taking a journey like this, but we found the will within ourselves each day.
Why I Walk: Meaghan Ryan '12
Road For Hope was exactly what I needed when I needed it the most, and it has helped me to literally put my best foot forward before the start each year. If you are given the opportunity to be a part of the Road for Hope, cherish it. I wish the best of luck to this years leaders and walkers. Road for Hope is what you make of it, prepare for it, stay positive and take that leap of faith.

If you need evidence that Ted Mann is a somebody, just Google me. You'll get like a gajillion hits! Of course, all of those pages are referring to other Ted Manns (the mayor of Newton, MA, a theatre owner, and a soap actor -- natch!), but who am I to argue with free publicity? If you're looking for the real me, you'll have better luck searching "turkeymonkey," the only term that I exclusively own on the web. And if you'd like to know what kind of writer I am, just call up any of my colleagues, who I guarantee will say that I'm prompt, professional, and rather dashing in a v-neck sweater. In addition to working as the Director of Digital Development for the Gannett NJ newspapers and websites -- including APP.com, CourierPostOnline.com, DailyRecord.com, MyCentralJersey.com, and TheDailyJournal, as well as the hyperlocal blog network InJersey -- I spend my free time teaching my daughter Caroline not to be afraid of cows, devising elaborate gadgets to entertain my cats, massaging my wife's feet, and refining my masterpiece--a creme brulee recipe eight years in the making.

The new 2014 Chevrolet Avalanche LS, LT and LTZ deliver unrivaled versatility at a moment's notice. An exclusive Midgate turns Avalanche from an SUV into a full-size pickup with a 2.5m cargo box in less than a minute.
A proven Vortec 5.3L V8 engine powers Avalanche with Active Fuel ManagementTM. With safety features that include head-curtain side-impact airbags and StabiliTrakTM Electronic Stability Control.
Keep reading to learn more about the new 2014 Chevrolet Avalanche
See images
Sit behind the wheel of an Chevrolet Avalanche LTZ and enjoy the supple leather 12-way power-adjustable driver's seat. Within your reach you'll find an MP3-compatible CD player coupled to a Bose® seven-speaker system for your favorite music, an available touchscreen navigation radio with 16.5cm diagonal color monitor and voice recognition, and power-adjustable pedals. It's as luxurious as it is flexible.
A Rear-seat entertainment system, available on LT and LTZ models, includes a 20cm diagonal LCD color monitor, a DVD player, two sets of wireless headphones, a remote control and the capability to play audio or video.
An available rearview mirror/camera system* includes a built-in camera mounted near the license plate. When you shift into reverse, an image from the camera is displayed in a portion of the rearview mirror (so you can still see out the mirror) or the navigation screen. The mirror reverts to a normal full-frame image/reflection when you shift into Drive or Park.
* Requires available navigation radio.
The Chevrolet Avalanche is the most versatile vehicle out there, thanks to an exclusive Midgate that turns it from an SUV to a full-size pickup with a 2.5 meter cargo box*. The combination of the locking tailgate, three-piece cargo cover and stationary window lets you store items securely within the cargo box and helps protect them from the elements. The ingenious design of the Chevrolet valanche also allows you to transport items up to 1.27 meters wide.
1. With the 60/40 Split-folding rear bench seat and midgate upright, Chevrolet Avalanche is configured as a five-passenger SUV. The lockable top-box storage provides room for your beverages or gear.
2. To begin converting the Chevrolet Avalanche from an SUV to a Pickup, simply lower the 60/40 split-folding bench seat. You can also stow the rear window inside the Midgate to enjoy the fresh air as you drive.
3. To ultilize the full length of the cargo box, just lower the Midgate. You get a completely secured cargo area when the three-piece cargo cover and rear window are in place.
4. To complete Avalanche's full transformation, remove the rear window and three-piece cargo cover, lower the tailgate and then transport items such as a small quad bike.
*Cargo and load capability limited by weight and distribution.
The Z71 Off-Road Suspension Package is available on the 2LT model and includes specially tuned springs and monotube shocks, high-capacity air cleaner and a Skid Plate Package with aluminum front underbody shield. It also features automatic locking rear differential, body-color wheel flares, 18-inch aluminum wheels paired with on/off-road blackwall tires, recovery hooks and tubular assist steps. The Z71 Off-Road Package offers leather-appointed Ebony seats that can also be accented with Light Titanium inserts, specially designed front fascia with chrome grille insert, Z71 badging and a Z71-specific gauge.
See the Chevrolet Avalanche photos
When it comes to space, the Chevrolet Avalanche reigns supreme. The three-piece lockable cargo cover combines with the Midgate to provide a covered storage area for items longer than 2.4 meters. Lockable top-box storage compartments provide up to 48 liters of storage room and the tailgate can be locked via Remote Keyless Entry, providing a safe storage area.
Standard on all Avalanche models, head-curtain sideimpact airbags cover both rows and help reduce the risk of injuries to all outboard occupants in certain side impacts.
Avalanche features two-piston front and enhanced singlepiston rear brake design for reduced noise and an active brake booster system for enhanced pedal feel.
Available Ultrasonic Rear Parking Assist features audio and visual signals to help alert you if certain stationary objects are immediately behind your vehicle while you're reversing.
Standard on all models and included with the Z71 Off-Road Suspension Package, automatic locking rear differential allows additional traction at lower speeds on mud and sand.
Standard StabiliTrakTM improves vehicle stability, particularly on slick surfaces or during emergency maneuvers.
Chevrolet Avalanche features a heavy-duty 6-speed electronically controlled automatic transmission. The smooth-shifting automatic transmission comes with overdrive Tow/Haul modes, a Driver Shift Control and also offers improved fuel efficiency
The Vortec 5300 V8 engine under the hood of the Chevrolet Avalanche is all about power, performance and flexibility. The engine generates 231kW (310hp) (net) and 452 N m of torque on 2WD models. Its Active Fuel Management™ technology deactivates four of the eight cylinders when extra power isn't needed, such as when cruising down the highway on level roads. A smooth-shifting, six-speed automatic transmission with overdrive and Tow/Haul mode is also standard.
With Active Fuel ManagementTM from GM, power is delivered when you need it. Here's how Active Fuel ManagementTM deactivates four of the eight cylinders with seamless precision in the Vortec 5300:
On 2WD models, Tow/Haul mode and heavy-duty trailering equipment help pull up to 3720kg. Avalanche 4x4 models can tow up to 3628kg. Standard trailering equipment includes a hitch platform, seven-wire harness and a 5cm receiver. The available rearview camera system makes maneuvering easy when hooking up a trailer.
Avalanche trailering /hauling specifications
NOTE: Towing a trailer involves all major vehicle systems of your Chevrolet. Easy and safe trailering requires a properly equipped vehicle, additional trailering equipment and an appropriate trailer. It also requires loading both the vehicle and trailer properly, using safe driving techniques, meeting regional legal requirements and following break-in and maintenance schedules. For more information, consult your Owner's Manual and speak to a trailering expert at your Chevrolet dealership. To help you understand trailering better, consider these trailering factors:
RGAWR AND GVWR: Addition of trailer hitch weight cannot cause vehicle weights to exceed Rear Gross Axle Weight Rating (RGAWR) or Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR). These ratings can be found on the certification label located on the driver door or door frame.
GCWR: The Gross Combination Weight Rating is the total allowable weight of the completely loaded vehicle and trailer.
MAXIMUM TRAILER RATING: This rating is determined by subtracting the tow vehicle's weight (curb weight) from the GCWR. When a Base vehicle (curb) weight is used, additional passenger, equipment and cargo weight reduce this rating.
TRAILERING CAUTION: If you don't use the correct equipment and drive properly, you can lose control of your vehicle when you pull a trailer. Pull a trailer only after you have taken the following steps.
TRAILER BRAKES: If your trailer weighs more than 907kg loaded, then it must have its own adequate brakes. Be sure to read and follow the instructions for the trailer brake controller so that it is installed, adjusted and maintained properly.
HITCHES: It's important to have the correct hitch equipment. If you'll be towing a trailer that, when loaded, will weigh more than 2268kg* be sure to use a frame-mounted, weightdistributing hitch and sway control of the proper size. If you have to make any holes in the body of your vehicle to install a trailer hitch, be sure to seal the holes if you ever remove the hitch.
See the Avalanche's specifications
*Maximum trailer rating may be less, based upon powertrain combination.
Protection is great - prevention is better
There are three stages of safety, and Avalanche takes every one of them as seriously as you do. While we can't promise you'll never have a collision, we can promise we've done everything we can to help prevent one and help protect you before, during and after.
StabiliTrak® Electronic Stability Control System helps you stay on the road and in control. The control module compares your steering input with the vehicle's actual response and then, if necessary, makes small, individual applications to help keep you on track. StabiliTrak also includes Hill Start Assist and Trailer Sway Control for even more assurance. Rollover mitigation helps determine potential for vehicle rollover, such as during evasive maneuvers, and applies brake pressure to the front tires to manage lateral tire grip, reducing the tendency for vehicle rollover. And a Tire Pressure Monitor, also standard, keeps a constant watch on the inflation level of the four Avalanche road tires.
Six air bags are standard in Avalanche, including head-curtain side-impact air bags and front-seat-mounted side-impact air bags. These are in addition to the standard dual-stage frontal, driver and right-front passenger air bags with the Passenger Sensing System. You're also surrounded by a high-strength steel safety cage and strategically placed crush zones to help absorb and channel crash energy in case of a collision.

Assistant Principal William Smith, who has spent the last 10 years in various roles at the high school, is leaving the position this month to serve as principal at Raritan High School.
Smith will assume the leadership role at Raritan on Aug. 20, according to a release from the Hazlet School District.
"Obviously, we have mixed emotions about Mr. Smith's departure," said RBR Superintendent Jim Stefankiewicz. "While we are very happy for him, we are sorry to see him leave us."
RBR Principal Risa Clay told Patch via e-mail, "We will certainly miss Will. He is a wonderful teacher and contributed so much to the fabric of RBR and was so much fun to work with."
Over the course of his tenure at RBR, Smith taught English and served in several administrative capacities, including assistant principal and supervisor of English, media services, social studies, and ELL. Mr. Smith is also an adjunct instructor in the School of Education at Monmouth University.
"Over the past decade, Will has had a big impact on teaching and learning at RBR," said Stefankiewicz. "He worked tirelessly to ensure that all students received the highest level of instruction."
Born and raised in New Jersey, Smith earned his Bachelor's Degree in English from Bucknell University and his Master's Degree in English Literature from Drew University.
Smith taught English and coached soccer and baseball for nine years at Point Pleasant Beach High School before heading to Red Bank Regional High School.
"Mr. Smith was the best, he made the school fantastic," said recent RBR grad Annie Walsack, when she heard the news of his pending departure.
Clay said, "He is definitely ready to take this next step. The students and staff at Raritan are lucky to have this opportunity to work with Will. We wish him much happiness and success."
Stefankiewicz added, "Will is ready for this move to principal. We wish him all the best."

'Major Crimes' Vet Ransford Doherty Guest Stars on 'Touch'
February 8th, 2013 10:40am EST
Tonight's Touch premiere features a guest appearance by Ransford Doherty, best known as Kendall on TNT's Major Crimes. BFTV caught up with Ransford before tonight's premiere to chat about his acting roles - and his other commitment to children as a substitute teacher.
"Coming from a Sierra Leone, West African family, being an actor is not the typical career path one chooses," Ransford said. "In fact, my initial major at Longwood College was Political Science, but my heart wasn't in it. My counselor then suggested that I pick something that I would actually enjoy learning, so I decided to major in Theatre Performance.
"My college acting professor, Pam Arkin, was the one who convinced me that I should pursue acting as a career," he continued. "After two weeks of taking acting classes and hearing the pitfalls of the acting business from a fellow theatre student, I went to Professor Arkin and told her I wanted to quit. She, of course, was not having that and told me stick with it. She then told me about all the acting opportunities for African Americans. Her advice made sense, so I took it and haven't looked back ever since!"
He's since played Coroner's Investigator Kendall in both The Closer and its spin-off series Major Crimes. Asked what draws him to a role, "The flow of the story is what I look for," he explained. "The better the writing, the easier it is for me to connect to the character, know the scene and bring the character's action to life. In fact, it makes playing the role enjoyable."
"It's surreal," he said of continuing his recurring role across two different TV series. "I pinch myself every time I'm on set and count my blessings! I just show up and enjoy the ride."
Touch isn't the only acting project that Ransford has been working on recently; he's part of an online series that's close to his heart. "I also am working opposite Hector Luis Bustamante, who I met on the set of Hostage, in a web series called Caribe Road," he said. "It follows the story of U.S. Special Forces commander Mark Caribe, who is hell bent on starting a new life away from the military after a covert mission goes terribly wrong. But first, under the orders of the President, Caribe must accept the command of a new elite combat unit called SFT1. Caribe hopes this move will lead him to the terrorist who kidnapped his daughter. I play the role of James Crews, a team member and sidekick to Mark Caribe.
"I'm really proud that I am working on Caribe Road," Ransford continued. "Having served in the US Army Reserve and having two family members currently serving overseas - [my] fraternal twin brother Major Beresford Doherty [and] sister Captain Hileen Mallory) - it's a way for us to say thank you, to show appreciation for all the men and women who sacrifice so much to protect our freedom." You can check out Caribe Road by visiting the official website.
Ransford - pictured above in Caribe Road - is contributing in his own way. When he's not acting, he works as a substitute teacher, and is involved with several charitable organizations. "I maintain the teaching career because it's a flexible job for working actors and it pays the bills when the acting work is slow. It's also my way of giving back," he said. "How I manage the two is with the help of a supportive team."
"I want to thank the faculty and staff at Alexandria Elementary, Vine Street Elementary, Holmes Elementary and Manual Arts High. For over eleven years, those schools kept me gainfully employed a majority of the time as a substitute teacher. If it wasn't for them, I wouldn't be where I am today," he continued. "There were many times the office managers - like Suzette Brown, Catherine Brown, Auraluz Lopez, Norma Duran Munguia and Marta - forgave me for having to cancel a teaching assignment at the last minute due to an last minute audition. Or the assistant principal at Manual Arts High, Mr. Todd Engle, who always finds a way to cover my classes when I'm off on an audition or when I'm working on any show I booked.
"I also can't forget the kids at these schools!" he added. "They even help me run lines for some of my auditions. In fact, when I auditioned for my role on Touch, I ran the lines with Mr. Rivera's seventh-period class. I then made a wager. I told them that since they helped me, I would buy the whole class pizza and Kool-Aid if I got the part. Not only did I get the part, and have their football team deliver the seven boxes of pizza with Kool-Aid to Mr. Rivera's class, but the students of that class got to see how they had an impact on my making my dream come true. They were more excited that I got the part than [about] getting the pizza!"
Some of the groups that Ransford is involved with include Sunshine Kids, LACER Afterschool Programs, After-School All-Stars, Yellow Ribbon Reintegration Program, and Dream Center.
When he's not acting or teaching, what are some of the shows Ransford's tuned into? "I'm a fan of all the actors and writers on Major Crimes," he said, "The Closer, Breaking Bad, Luther, The Wire, Modern Family, Person of Interest, everything on HGTV - and any TV show or film that hires me!"
Ransford's guest appearance on Touch airs as part of tonight's two-hour season premiere, beginning at 8 PM ET/PT on FOX.

text: By Bill O'Neil San Antonio's unemployment rate rises slightly in the month of June--but analysts said there's no cause for major concern. The driver of the increase from 6.5% in May to 6.7% in JUne is easy to see said Eva Esquivel with Workforce Solutions Alamo. "Public school jobs and education jobs at the college and university level do contribute to the greatest (job) losses at this time" Esquivel told 550 KTSA News--adding the overall jobs picture locally remains very bright. "We have job growth in construction--which for us continues to be something we look at to sort of gauge our economic viability" Esquivel said. Overall the travel and leisure sector created the most job last month--both on the local and state levels. The overall unemployment rate for the State of Texas held steady at 6.5% in June.

Springfield, Mass. - December 13, 2013 - The Springfield College men's basketball team won its second-straight game on Friday, 91-49 over visiting Worcester State in Blake Arena. Robbie Burke (Cheshire, Mass.) had a double-double to lead the Pride with 17 points and 12 rebounds. The senior had a dominant day in the paint, pulling down 10 of his 12 rebounds in the first half.
The Pride defense was impressive in the second half, coming out of the locker room to hold Worcester State scoreless for the first 7:57 of the half. The Lancers finally ended the drought on a three-pointer by Brandon Rios (Easthampton, Mass.) to make it a 60-27 Springfield lead with 12:03 left in the game.
Springfield improves to 7-2 with the win, while Worcester State falls to 1-9 with the loss.
The Pride got on the board first on a basket by Sean Martin (Rindge, N.H.), but Worcester State jumped ahead to a 4-2 lead after a basket by Rios. The Lancers took a 6-4 lead 3:20 into the game on a basket in the paint by Paul Brooks (Arlington, Mass.), but that would be the last time they would hold a lead, as Springfield went on a 12-2 run spanning the next five minutes. The Pride held a 16-8 lead with 11:49 left in the half.
With 2:25 on the clock before halftime, Burke went hard to the basket, good for two points, giving the Pride a 37-20 lead. With 4.9 seconds left on the clock, Martin made it a 44-24 game, driving the length of the court for the basket and the foul.
Martin scored nine of his 13 points in the first half. He also finished the day with five assists and five steals. Springfield took a demanding 44-24 lead into the locker room.
The offense was cruising for Springfield as the Pride opened the second half on 16-0 run over the first 7:57, pulling away to a 60-24 lead. The Pride had five players score in double figures, three coming off the bench, including Josh Downes (East Sandwich, Mass.) who finished the day with 15 points on an impressive 6-of-6 shooting. All 15 of Downes' points came in the second half. Nick McKenna (Danvers, Mass.) and Simon Kilday (Arlington, Va.) each tallied 12 points off the bench, Kilday shooting 4-of-6 from the field. Collectively, the Pride's bench contributed 48 points.
With 6:06 left in the game, Downes scored six-straight points for the Pride, knocking down two-straight baskets in the paint and two free throws to give Springfield a 78-41 lead. Downes was unstoppable in the second half, scoring all 15 of his points in the final 5:56 of the game.
Alex Garstka (Westfield, Mass.) had nine points for the Pride while Larry Piretra (Oakland, N.J.) added seven points and three steals. Springfield shot 36-of-61 (59%) from the field and 8-of-17 (47.1%) for three. The Pride was also 11-of-13 (84.6%) from the foul line.
Rios was the game's leading scorer, putting up 18 points to lead Worcester State. Dane Jobst (Athol, Mass.) added eight points and nine boards. The Lancers shot 18-of-63 (28.6%) from the field and 6-of-23 (26.1%) from behind the arc.
Both teams will have some time off as the Pride will host the Hampton Inn West Springfield/Naismith Classic on January 3rd and 4th. Worcester State will play at Regis on January 3 at 7:00 p.m.

The Port Arthur News
PORT ARTHUR – Lamar State College-Port Arthur claimed a season-opening victory over Lone Star College-Kingwood, taking an 84-56 decision at the Carl Parker Center on Saturday afternoon.
The win is the first for new Seahawks head coach Lance Madison who has spent many years as a collegiate assistant coach.
"This game went pretty well how I expected," Madison said. "We have a few players who have been off the court for a season and they were a little rusty. You'd have to expect that. But we played well and came out with a win tonight."
The Hawks led from the start, benefiting from a definite height advantage as 7-foot-1 center Anthony Allen dominated the paint, throwing down two slam dunks and blocking three shots in the first half alone. He finished the game with eight points. Ivan Jelencic, a 6-7 freshman, is recovering from a banged up knee but still managed to make his presence known in the paint, finishing the game with eight points.
The real spark for the Seahawks, though, came from sophomore Kieran Woods and freshman Tre Allen. Woods finished with a game-high 20 points in leading the Hawks to their victory, while Allen added 10.
The scoring was spread pretty well throughout the Seahawks lineup with Korbin McClain scoring nine points, and D.C. Stallworth and Jamaal Shabazz each scoring eight in the win.
"We were able to spread the ball around," Coach Madison said. "We were able to get all 13 players on the floor in the first half and they got some quality time against a really decent Kingwood team."
Kingwood had three players in double-figures, led by Brenden Chapman scoring 13, Ronnie Lewis adding 12 and William Moore hitting for 10.
The Hawks return to action Wednesday at 7 p.m. at the Parker center when they take on Houston Community College-Southwest.

My sister-in-law called me frantically this week with two questions: "'Are they really canceling 'Life on Mars?' Why do they always cancel shows I like?'"
The answer to the first question is yes, ABC has canceled the series, which was based on a popular BBC series about a police detective who was transported back in time to the 1970s.
The final episode, which ABC promises will explain what happened to Sam Tyler (Jason O'Mara), will run next Wednesday.
The answer to why "Life" is dying is the same as the answer to why the last show my sister-in-law loved, "Eli Stone," died. Bad ratings, nationally and locally despite an incredible cast that includes Harvey Keitel, Michael Imperioli and Gretchen Mol.
Take the most recent episode Wednesday night, in which Tyler was set up on a murder charge and almost was convinced by the dirty cop who committed the crime to jump off the roof of a building to get back to 2008. It finished fifth in its time slot here even though only three broadcast series air at 10 p.m.
"CSI: NY" on Channel 4 was first with a 12.4 rating. "Law & Order" on Channel 2 had a 7.3 rating. Channel 4's news on WNLO had a 6.7 rating. Reruns of "Seinfeld" and "Two and a Half Men" on Channel 29 had a 5.0 rating.
"Mars" on Channel 7 had a 4.5 rating, which means sadly only about 4.5 percent of area households were tuned in counting my sister-in-law.
What do you think of "Mars" and its cancellation?
-- Alan Pergament

Resources FCU Raises Money from LemonAid Sales!
(July 2012) Once again, Resources employees and board members rolled up their sleeves, got their hands sticky for a good cause. As participants in this year's Anthem LemonAid event, Resources Federal Credit Union held stands in both Richmond and Lynchburg offices at Genworth - selling delicious and refreshing cups of lemonade to employees and contractors.
All proceeds from the Anthem LemonAid event go to local Children's Miracle Network hospitals. So far in the Richmond area, the LemonAid event has raised $69,996.64 for the Hematology and Oncology clinic at Children's Hospital of Richmond at VCU! Resources Federal Credit Union is proud to donate over $120 to the total raised and we can't wait to participate in the event again next year. There's something about raising money for a great cause and lemonade that's just so so sweet!
Genworth Contractors Now Eligible for Membership!
(March 2012) You asked. We Listened. As you know, Resources FCU has always been the credit union for Genworth employees. In the past, Genworth contractors have asked to join the credit union, and unfortunately we weren't able to grant their request because of our credit union charter through the National Credit Union Administration ( NCUA). Well contractors, we listened to your request and are happy to say we finalized the paperwork with the NCUA and now Genworth employees and contractors are eligible to join our wonderful credit union. We've already welcomed a lot of new members through this charter change and hope to see many more. Stop by and see us today to open an account!
Ice Cream Social Big Hit in Lynchburg
(February 2012) Last month the credit union hosted an ice cream social at their Lynchburg location. Many people showed up to take advantage of not only the sweet treats, but also the sweet deals the credit union has to offer. We appreciate everyone who took time out of his or her busy day to stop in and say hello to us. Great people, great conversation and great desserts how can you go wrong? Well, unless you get brain freeze from the cold ice cream. Thanks again, and we hope to do it again soon!

Gov. Dannel Malloy and Secretary of the State Denise Merrill announced on Monday a call for legislation that would make it easier for Connecticut residents to register to vote and submit absentee ballots, according to the Connecticut Mirror.
The proposed legislation would allow voter registration on Election Day, online voter registration and increased penalties for those found guilty of blocking or impeding voter access.
"In the spirit of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., we have a tremendous opportunity this year to expand access to the ballot box to the many citizens of our state who face barriers to voting because their busy working lives make it difficult to register or appear at their polling place on Election Day," Merrill said in a statement released by Gov. Malloy's office on Monday. "Many states have already made these reforms and by taking these important steps forward we can include a younger generation of voters and expand participation in our democracy."
According to the Mirror, almost one-third of eligible voters in the state are not registered, a statistic that was of concern to Merrill when she spoke with Patch in October about . "That's a very high number and we don't really talk about it," she said. "That's the first thing that's very striking."
State Republican Chairman Jerry Labriola told that Mirror that his party would continue to fight Election Day voter registration because it wouldn't leave an opportunity for officials to verify that the registration is indeed valid.
