A man working on a construction project on the San Diego (405) Freeway in West Los Angeles was killed early Thursday morning when a 3,000-pound steel beam being lifted off a truck fell on him, police said.
The accident happened about 2:30 a.m. at 11250 West Santa Monica Blvd., just east of Sawtelle Boulevard between Beloit Avenue and the southbound side of the San Diego Freeway, according to police and fire officials.
Adolfo Figueroa was killed instantly, said Los Angeles police Sgt. John Juarez.
"Movement of the beams" led one of them to fall on the construction worker, California Highway Patrol (CHP) Public Information Officer Karina Munoz said.
"We still don't know exactly the details as far as how the beam fell," she said.
City of Los Angeles crisis counselors were dispatched to the site to assist Figueroa's distraught colleagues, including one who, according to a CHP officer at the scene, had tried to lift the beam off Figueroa.
The CHP was handling the death investigation, Juarez said. Cal-OSHA was summoned to the work site to investigate the fatality, which is being investigated as an industrial accident.
Figueroa worked for Kiewit, a company contracted by Caltrans to work on the freeway.
"We were deeply saddened to learn that early this morning one of our employees, Adolfo Figueroa, died while performing work on the I-405 Sepulveda Pass Improvements Project," Kiewit said in a statement. "We extend our sincerest condolences to Adolfo's family and friends, and those who knew and worked with him at Kiewit. Our deepest thoughts and prayers are with all of them at this time."
Metro also expressed condolences and noted the accident was "the first serious incident on the I-405 project in nearly three years of work."
Kiewit will conduct its own investigation and work with Cal-OSHA and Metro as the accident is investigated, according to the company's statement.
Work on the freeway project has been halted while the contractor conducts a safety review, according to a Metro statement.

Wrecking It: Skylar Grey Headlines Oakley's SXSW Show with Actor Adrian Grenier's Wreckroom
South By Southwest is always a party.
And, just like every year, Oakley brought some of its uniquely cool magic to the sprawling scene in Austin (Texas).
Collaborating with O Entertainment family member and Entourage Star, Adrian Grenier (and his 'Wreckroom' music project), the brand put on a rockin' show at the W Hotel.
Headlined by Grammy-nominated Oakley music artist, Skylar Grey, and featuring the likes of Grammy winner Sirah, Asher Roth and Indie music upstart Breakfast, the performance welcomed music industry influencers, celebrities and more for an intimate showcase away from the mud-packed streets.
If Skylar and Sirah didn't break out enough ear candy for attendees, bands from Adrian's Wreckroom family – like Caldwell, Joanna Erdos and The Skins – took the stage to warm up the star-lined crowd.
Add in Oakley family member, Nick Cannon, and yet another SXSW is in the books with a proper 'O' stamp on its face.

High-Def is here whether you like it or not. Luckily, in the good 'ol USA we have fairly decent selection of HD programming already – while other areas of the world still have none, even the EU has a serious shortage. When it comes to buying movies in High-Def, you currently have two options: BluRay and HD-DVD. Competing formats reminding me of the VHS vs Beta days of Video Tape.
Over the weekend, two announcement were made regarding new formats of High Def DVDs. The first to be announced should be a consumer favorite – lower cost players, lower cost media. Called the 'HD-VMD' – this high-def versatile format uses red lasers like standard DVD and CD players – lowering costs dramatically and only a bit over that of current DVD media and players. With a set-top player expected to be under $200, this new format may be a late starter – but big winner in the High Def DVD arena.

Motorhome Chapter Spotlight | Family Motor Coach Association
Tire Connection - Michelin Advantage Program
FMCA is a Consumer Association member of the Michelin Advantage Program. This program is intended to provide competitive prices on Michelin tires at all authorized Michelin tire dealers that handle national accounts.
Not all Michelin dealers are authorized to handle national accounts, so please contact dealers in advance to make sure they can administer the Advantage Program.
In addition to motorhomes, the Michelin Advantage Program now includes tires for light trucks and passenger vehicles.
The Michelin Advantage Program does not guarantee the lowest price, as local dealers may be able to provide local customers with better prices. In today's environment, raw material costs have driven tire prices up recently, and some dealers may have tire inventory purchased before some of these increases, which may allow them to provide even more competitive prices than the Advantage Program provides.
>> Michelin RV Tire Sample Prices (PDF) — this flyer shows sample of prices for some common Michelin RV tires.
The Michelin Consumer Association Advantage Program brought to you by FMCA will allow members to buy new tires at the program price at any authorized Michelin RV Tire Dealer across the United States. This could come in especially handy when a tire emergency occurs while a member is traveling.

A ferocious tsunami unleashed by Japan's biggest recorded earthquake slammed into its eastern coast Friday, killing hundreds of people as it carried away ships, cars and homes, and triggered widespread fires that burned out of control. Hours later, the waves washed ashore on Hawaii and the U.S. West coast, where evacuations were ordered from California to Washington but little damage was reported. The entire Pacific had been put on alert _ including coastal areas of South America, Canada and Alaska _ but waves were not as bad as expected. (AP Photo/ Marco Garcia)

In selling the law, the president made promises he knew he could not keep, pledging to lower health care premiums and that Americans could keep their health care plans and trusted doctors.

New Cardinal Rashard Mendenhall: 'Everything's going great'
Originally published: Jun 12, 2013 - 5:30 pm
A first-round pick out of Illinois in the 2008 draft, he had rushed for 1,108 yards and seven touchdowns in 2009 before tallying 1,273 yards and 13 scores in 2010, when he helped lead the Pittsburgh Steelers to Super Bowl XLV.
Mendenhall rushed for 63 yards and a touchdown in the game, but a late fumble ended a fourth quarter drive and led to a Packers score. Pittsburgh lost the game 28-25.
The following season was going well enough for Mendenhall, as he had tallied 928 yards and nine scores through 15 games, but a torn ACL in his right knee in a Week 17 win over the Browns derailed things and now, less than two years later, he's an Arizona Cardinal working on a one-year contract.
"I don't really think about that," he said when asked if he feels like he has to re-prove himself as an NFL player. "For me I'm here right now, everything's going great.
"I just look forward to grow and build off of that."
Though Mendenhall, who rushed for just 182 yards last season, may not see a need to reassert himself, the Cardinals would certainly benefit if he does. As a team, Arizona rushed for a league-worst 1,204 yards last season, which is a number 10 running backs bested. On their own.
So it's not like there's any pressure on Mendenhall to fill anyone's shoes or keep a strong running game going.
But that does not mean the team didn't recognize a need to improve. Adding Mendenhall to a running back group that already included Ryan Williams, William Powell and Alfonso Smith, and then later added Andre Ellington and Stepfan Taylor, gives the team some serious depth. Add in quarterback Carson Palmer and rookie guard Jonathan Cooper, among others, and the hope is the offense now has talent, too.
"We've been building it since day one and when our minicamp started and beginning of OTAs, having all the same guys here, we've been learning the offense and kind of growing and gelling together, so we feel good about where we are," the 25-year-old said.
And of course, part of the reason Mendenhall feels good about Arizona is his head coach. Bruce Arians ran the Steelers' offense from 2007-2011, and the running back's best seasons came with his new boss calling the shots.
"That's a big part of it, you know, having somebody you're familiar with," he said of the influence Arians had on him coming to Arizona. "He wanted me down here, he's seen me work, really believes in me.
"So that meant a lot to me, and it just seemed like a good situation overall and I'm happy I'm here."

While Democrats across DuPage County celebrate several Election Day victories—including the re-election of President Barack Obama—the DuPage GOP is heading back to the drawing board.
Get news in your inbox. Sign up for the Patch newsletter.
Like Naperville Patch on Facebook.
The votes in DuPage County, an once known as a Republican stronghold, closely mirrored those of the nation Nov. 6, with 49.57 percent voting for President Barack Obama and 48.54 percent voting for Republican challenger Mitt Romney, according to unofficial results.
In 2008, 54.72 percent of DuPage County voters supported Obama, while 43.93 percent cast their vote for Sen. John McCain.
"I think this year's DuPage County numbers show that Obama's popularity in 2008 wasn't a fluke," said Bob Peickert, chairman of the DuPage County Democrats. "The president may not have won by as much, but it's important to consider that he won again in a county that was once considered one of the most Republican counties in the country."
The real story unfolded at the local level, he added.
In March 2008, only two of DuPage County's elected officials were Democrats, and they served only 3 percent of the county, Peickert said.
According to the DuPage County Democrats' tally, the county now has 17 Democrats elected to the United States Congress, Illinois General Assembly, DuPage County Board and Forest Preserve Commission.
"I think this election proved that Democrats in DuPage are realizing they're not the only ones on the block," Peickert said. "We've experienced such growth—you no longer have to be a Republican to have a chance at getting elected here."
Among the Democratic Party's major victories Nov. 6 were Deborah O'Keefe Conroy of Elmhurst in the Illinois' 46th House district, Tom Cullerton of Villa Park in the 23rd Senate District, Tammy Duckworth of Hoffman Estates in the 8th Congressional District and Bill Foster of Naperville in the 11th Congressional District.
"What's significant about Conroy's district is that it's exclusively DuPage County, and I believe it's the first House seat we've won in about 40 years," Peickert said. "Cullerton is also our first Democratic state senator, so we're thrilled about that."
DuPage County also elected three Democrats to the county board—Tony Michelassi of Aurora, Elizabeth Chaplin of Downers Grove and Laurie Nowak of Bartlett. West Chicago's Shannon Burns was elected to the DuPage County Forest Preserve Commission, making her the first Democrat to serve the commission since it became independent a decade ago.
While DuPage Democrats celebrate last week's victories, Peickert is already looking to the next election.
"We're encouraged by our victories," Peickert said. "We've done a lot of work over the past few years to re-energize the base in DuPage County, and I think it's paid off. But there's a lot more work to be done, so we're already looking at things we can do to build on this momentum."
GOP Chairman: 'We need to examine who we are and what we stand for'
For DuPage County Republicans, the election results are cause for concern, though not entirely unexpected.
"I think there were some things working against us this election," said Darlene Ruscitti, chairman of the DuPage County GOP. "Ultimately, I'm not sure we were able to get our message out there. The Democrats spent a lot of money, and were basically able to define our message for us."
One of the biggest challenges, Ruscitti said, was the redistricting by Illinois House Speaker Mike Madigan (D-Chicago) that gave his party an edge in legislative races across the suburbs. Unofficial results indicate the Democrats picked up seven seats in the Illinois House to gain a veto-proof majority of 71-47.
"We were facing unprecedented headwind from that Democratic remap," Ruscitti said. "The redistricting crafted by the Democrats was so precise and strategic, we knew it was going to be extremely tough to overcome."
With the general election behind them, members of the DuPage GOP are already back to the drawing board.
"As a party, I think we need to examine who we are and what we stand for, and what we can do to re-energize the base in DuPage County," Ruscitti said. "We need to look at where we can do better, and also what's working well. I think a lot of it is just about getting our message out there."
As the first ever female leader of the DuPage County GOP, Ruscitti also hopes to break her party's stereotype.
"I think some people think the GOP has turned into the old, white guy's party," Ruscitti said. "But you know what? I'm not old, and I'm not a guy. Our basic principles still hold true for a lot of people, but we need to do a better job connecting."
Ruscitti said she remains optimistic about the party's future in DuPage County.
"There are some setbacks that we need to overcome, but this party has great resolve," she said. "I know that will carry us through."

A Framework for Quality Assurance in Globalization of Higher Education- a view toward the future
Jennifer Job
University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Bharath Sriraman
The University of Montana
In the paper we theorize a framework for discussing quality assurance of globalized models of education used internationally. The philosophical assumption that homogeneity of perspectives achieves objectivity in practice is argued against using the examples of (1) Brain drain, and (2) Profit over quality. We present a coherent real world scenario for the abstract ideas on inequities in Sriraman & Adrian (2008) with a meta-analytical support of the literature.
Keywords: borderology; quality assurance; higher education; brain drain; meta-analysis of globalization of "higher education"; philosophy of education

I write from the left on politics and policy.
"Wanted: Qualified public relations executive for a well-established public membership organization (membership unknown as numbers typically inflated) who can navigate the organization through a difficult, challenging period without coming out the other side rendered fully and completely tone-deaf, impotent and moronic. Money no issue."
I don't know if the myriad of guns & ammo magazines out there have classified and 'help wanted' sections that go beyond offers to and from the mercenaries who browse the pages looking for work or advertisements hawking the sale of unlimited volumes of bullets at cut rate prices, but if they do, the above advertisement should be running in every such magazine in the land today—courtesy of the National Rifle Association.
It is no secret that the NRA has done a stunningly poor job of handling their business—such as that business is—since the disaster at Sandy Hook Elementary School.
After remaining silent for the week immediately following the shocking events of that terrible Friday, the organization finally took to the press conference stage to blame everyone and anyone they could think of so long as it wasn't someone who happened to own a gun.
The answer, they told us, was more guns put in more hands.
It has been downhill from there in what has become a classic case study of how to screw up a public relations challenge.
By way of example, the NRA's PR shop apparently never learned that attacks suffered at the hand of a low-rated television personality like Pierce Morgan fade away very quickly unless you do everything in your power to see to it that you keep the story in the news.
Great for Mr. Morgan and CNN—public relations malpractice for the NRA.
And then, in what is destined to make every crisis management textbook as the ultimate study in what not to do in a PR crisis, the NRA—just four weeks after the Newtown massacre—released an iPhone/iPad shooting app for young children, complete with targets in the shape of coffins, allowing the user to—for a few cents more—buy an automatic weapon icon on the screen to better enjoy the first person shooter app experience.
Now, the NRA has gone on offense with a television commercial, released yesterday in anticipation of the President's speech announcing his plans based on the findings and recommendations of the Biden Commission.
And 'offensive' it most certainly is.
"Are the president's kids more important than yours?" the ad's narrator asks. "Then why is he skeptical about putting armed security in our schools when his kids are protected by armed guards at their schools? Mr. Obama demands the wealthy pay their fair share of taxes, but he's just another elitist hypocrite when it comes to a fair share of security."
Of course this is perfectly accurate because President Obama is the first president to have his children protected by armed bodyguards while serving in office and there is certainly no difference between threats to the President's family versus our own.Right?
Watch the ad:
Hopefully, the sheer irony of this is not lost on you.

"michael…", I give you one thing… you sure are good at name-calling as an argument strategy. You must have been the star of your debate team.
As a present day gun owner and a former NRA member, I am deeply disturbed with the direction the NRA is going. When I was a young, (many years ago) hunting and fishing, etc. was a family activity. My Dad was an avid sportsman at the time. He often took my brother and I on these type adventures. He also insisted we attend the constant litany of lectures offered by our local gun club on safety, gun laws, fish & game regulations and the importance of respecting land owners and the environment. My point is…even though I no longer shoot or hunt, I do still understand the gun culture and think it is worthy of preserving for those that enjoy it and are responsible enough to do it safely.
The second Amendment isn't going anywhere in spite of all the NRA fear mongering, but in an effort to secure it, there has to be reasonable limits and changes imposed. Guns designed for the military, large capacity clips, and background check loopholes to name a few…all have to go. The NRA focus has to be on safety, education and actually protecting gun owners as opposed to gun manufacturers.
As a side note, I took a ride with a friend that decided to sell his firearms after the Connecticut tragedy. We drove to a rather famous store in Maine… while there I asked about assault rifles sales. They had sold everything they had in 2 days. 315 more assault rifles on the street, simply because the NRA is trying to convince us all that "the government is coming for our guns………….."
PS Love the new avatar…I am at the same point in my life. The picture says it all!!!
I work for a news organization in Los Angeles and and we are looking for former NRA members who have left the group due to its radical policy on anti-gun control.
I would love to be able to chat with more with you about why you left and your opposition to the direction the NRA is going in. Drop me a message/reply if you're interested in talking more with me.
Rick- Thank you so much! I haven't had a class with Prof. Kaplan but my friends have and say he's great/his classes are awesome!
I couldn't be happier. Mass media and PR "rules" naturally weed out the irrational. If the leaders of large organizations cannot manipulate logic and tact of public communications, they expose their defects in the substantive areas as well. The pink ribbon comes to mind.
True that "bad" movements can be led by the PR-savvy, so it's not a guarantee of reason and compassion at all — just a filter. At least the powerful crazies are not hiding and silently manipulating and misleading their followers. Publicity tests weak arguments — and "the French guy" (fn Jon Stewart) has done us all a favor by exposing his fanaticism.
And I really like your suggestion, Rick, that there be a replacement organization — one focused on Constitutional rights. Maybe an existing organization could step in, surprisingly: ACLU? SPLC? The Coffee Party? Also scoop up the disenchanted Tea Partiers, who thought they were being Constitutional purists…. Just a dream.
The answer is NO, the NRA hasn't gone too far, it has just exposed the shameless hypocrisy that these liberals live by. It might be news to you, but the US is a Republic. We are all citizens, equals before the law. At least in principle, there is no room for special privileges based on status (and occupying the presidency is an example of status). The office has certain rights and responsibilities but as American, Obama has the same rights as the rest. Not more not less. While he advocates that other people's children be unsafe he makes sure his are pretty safe. It's disgusting. It's no different than his opposition to voucher programs that would allow poor children in DC to go to good private schools while he sends his to said private schools.
I am not a gun owner and I don't plan to own one in the future (too much responsibility; I just decided to live in a safe neighborhood). However, Obama's restless attacks to the second amendment after the Connecticut massacre pushed me to join the NRA. I am one of the 250000 new members that have joined in the last month. I bought a 10 year membership and will probably buy a life membership sometime in the future. The NRA stands for freedom. Kudos to the NRA for exposing Obama's hypocrisy.

From Business Today:
Who knew there was so much opportunity surrounding artificial turf? Cheektowaga company A-Turf recently won the contract to replace the turf at Ralph Wilson Stadium with a winning bid of $178,000. The old stuff, which is like new, is being hauled away and stored while Erie County Executive Chris Collins takes proposals from non-profits, schools and municipalities outlining how they might make use of it. One or more applicants will receive all or a portion of the old turf at no cost. Detailed proposals should be sent to Erie County Parks Department, 95 Franklin St., 12th Floor, Buffalo, NY 14202 by Aug. 15. County Parks Commissioner James Hornung and Stephen Lynch, the owner of Sports Performance Park in Eastern Hills Mall--who paid to have the turf hauled away and stored at the mall--will review them and decide how the turf will be given away, probably by early September.
When the state Environmental Conservation Commissioner came up with recommendations for hydraulic fracturing, it stirred up more controversy around an already contentious issue. That's because the plans called for allowing "fracking" in certain parts of the state but not others. But Commissioner Joseph Martens defended his recommendations Tuesday. The reason drilling would be prohibited in the Syracuse and New York City watershed but not in most of the Marcellus Shale region, he said, is that the Syracuse and New York City regions rely on those areas as their sole source of unfiltered drinking water. If drilling is allowed nearby and New York City's water source is polluted, building a water treatment plant could cost up to $9 billion.
The Lancaster Industrial Development Agency granted tax breaks to three firms Tuesday. Together, the companies plan to invest $13.8 million into their facilities. Try-It Distributing is planning to spend $12 million to add 106,000 square feet of storage space to its Walden Avenue warehouse. It will receive $1.05 million in tax breaks. Progressive Insurance will receive $56,875 in tax breaks as it renovates 4,000 square feet of its offices to the tune of $650,000. Ecology & Environment will get $96,250 in breaks for its $1.1 million investment in new computers and energy efficient upgrades.
Who is getting hired, promoted and honored?

Windsor Locks (AP) — Connecticut and federal authorities say they've rescued a 16-year-old girl from a child prostitution ring spanning at least three states.
Law enforcement officials say the found the girl at a motel in Windsor Locks near Bradley International Airport. Police say she didn't appear to be physically harmed, but they weren't sure about her emotional state and she was evaluated at a hospital.
Police didn't announce any arrests. They say the investigation continues and officials are looking for other children in several states.
The FBI's Task Force for Missing and Exploited Children arranged for the girl to be returned to her family out of state.
Authorities learned about the multistate prostitution ring in December, and an investigation led them to the motel five days later.

Having developed my department's first Police Bloodhound Program and blessed with generous public donations to successfully maintain this invaluable project; I have often been asked how does one get started with a Bloodhound? First and foremost, you must have a compelling desire! Also key is a desire to fundraise (assuming your city has no budgeting available) and the time and skill to properly train the hound as well as yourself.
You need to be willing to attend numerous public relations events, and educate your administration, staff, city council and the public on why a trailing hound is so beneficial to the community. Then you must be willing to trail subjects for long distances any time of the day or night in any type of environmental conditions.
The latter is the fun stuff and is why I do it. Being an experienced hunting houndsman has served me well. When chasing a hound, a hunt is a hunt as I see it! Nothing will sell your Bloodhound Program like a new hound pup walking the streets with you on patrol.
Hounds are advanced and will start trailing as soon as they can freely run about. Make no mistake however, not everybody will appreciate your noble efforts. Sure, there are bad guys out there who will now know they can no longer run and hide; but sadly there are some in other canine disciplines that let their lack of knowledge in scent work, breed performances and personal fears cloud their sense of what collective service dog team work is all about.
I admire all working dogs. You must gain a buy-in from your own people first. Inform your chief that public funding will come easy from so many service dog enthusiasts in the community like local kennel and pet clubs, the Veteran's Hall, Elks, Lions, Masons, Rotary Club, interested private parties, etc. Your own police association may be helpful as well, but the public at large will be your best ally. Include your traditional K9 partners when you explain how using the hound assists the K9 program with extended trailing and they still get to deploy their own dog to finish the job.
Show how the non-aggressive hound can trail any wanted subject regardless of age or criminal status, thus allowing for increased arrests. The trailing hound and aggression canine are two very different beasts. However, while serving two different objectives they do accomplish the same goal which is finding the suspect.
Once your Police Bloodhound Program is under way, keep up your interest in fund raising, attend only quality trailing schools, join well recognized trailing work associations and most importantly, make your hound handling team available to all requesting agencies.

10 Ways to be More Productive at Work
Boost your performance in the office with these tips.
Power nap. A number of medical studies have shown that short napping in the early afternoon increases a person's productivity, alertness, and sometimes even their mood. "A very short, regenerative nap can help you channel your energy and refocus," Tabaka says. Just be sure not to sleep for more than 15 to 20 minutes. Otherwise, it could create problems with your boss.
Counter interruptions. You must have a strategy for dealing with interruptions. Caroline Ceniza-Levine of New York career coaching firm SixFigureStart says, "When someone comes in, all of your strategies shouldn't go out the window." If a colleague comes in and asks for a minute, you can say, "Not right now. Send me an email, and we'll set up some time." One caveat: Don't try it with your boss.

34. Boulder Garden
This aromatic terraced area, studded with boulders and scree, complements the Mediterranean theme inside the Great Glasshouse. These plants, however, are not sheltered by anything and would usually struggle to grow in Wales's cool, damp climate. So gardeners have had to think very imaginatively.
Gallery not found. Please check your settings.The stony soil helps water to pass through quickly, reducing the chance of winter damage. This helps prevents frost damage to bulbous plant species native to Southern Europe, such as cyclamen, crocus and colchicum.
The sunny south-facing slopes suit shrubs like cistus and juniper, whilst hellebores and euphorbias favour the shade of the 300-year-old oak tree.

When it comes to blu-rays, in my mind there are two reasons to purchase: one, because it comes in a cool package with lots of extras; or two, because the picture and audio have been cleaned up and restored beyond anything previously available.
So Dexter season seven will be out on DVD and blu-ray next week - perfect timing in case you need to catch up before the eighth and final season starts on June 30th. I got a peek at the set before the release and frankly, it doesn't fit in with my two above conditions.
For starters, Dexter is new. There is nothing to be enhanced or cleaned up. Sure, it looks just a touch more crisp than the Showtime HD channel, but not much. So it looks great... it just doesn't really look noticeably better than the HD broadcast.
Then there are the extras. There aren't any. None. No deleted scenes; no commentary; no behind-the-scenes footage. They didn't even include the Dexter: Early Cuts that aired on the web before the season started. The only "bonus" is a code to download the pilot episode of Showtime's new series Ray Donovan. Even that is kind of half-assed: it is only available on UltraViolet, which I personally don't like because it requires an internet connection to watch anything on UltraViolet.
So if you are just interested in catching up or re-watching last season of Dexter, you may want to consider buying the season from iTunes or Amazon Instant. The season, in HD, is only about $35 and you get it instantly. If you prefer a hard copy, the blu-ray will run you $45 on Amazon.

Soulja Boy was arrested early this morning in Temple, Georgia, about 50 miles west of Atlanta. The 21-year-old rapper and four others were taken to Carrol County jail after police found a "substantial amount" of marijuana, guns and cash in their vehicle. Authorities have estimated the combined value of the drugs and cash to be around $70,000.

It is not known whether Soulja Boy and his companions had proper licenses for their weapons. The rapper is still being held at the jail.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
I gave it a one star rating because of the administration. The teachers we have had over the last 3 years have been wonderful, with the exception of one (Kindergarten). If my children did not have these amazing teachers this last school year, I would have pulled them from the school. The principal and assistant principal are cold and unfriendly. I hope one day they will be removed from the school setting as I believe they do not belong working with children. In addition, the lunch staff is awful. Other parents and I have witnessed the unacceptable behavior towards our children. It has even been confronted yet has not changed. Unfortunately my children have to go back this year, but it won't be for a full year. I will be watching all employees like a hawk this year! I cannot wait to be done with Liberty.
My child has been at Liberty for three years and has excelled in his growth and studies. All his teachers have been above par and dedicated and involved with us in all aspects.
I am pleased how teachers are involved with students and when needed attention is given. My children have attended this school for two years and looking forward for my little one to attend soon.
My daughter is in Kindergarten this year and was enrolled in the Pre K program last year. We both couldn't be more pleased with the amount of time her teachers have put towards her advancement. She is extremely happy with the teachers she has had. Any time I have had a concern her teachers have got back to me very quickly. I have had nothing but wonderful experiences with all the staff there. I loved it when I attended the school and now my daughter loves it.
If I could give NO stars I would!!! My son attended this school in 2012 in Mrs. McQuilkins class. By January I had pulled him out of the school all together w/o warning! My son was bullied by McQuilkin, yelled at, hit and smacked, constantly targeted by her for one reason or another for this reason and that reason. Until I picked him up one day, after he escorted to my vehicle still sobbing, in front of the other 'riders' whom were pointing and laughing and making fun of him(calling him names like "what a big cry baby"). He was humiliated in front of his fellow students at the hands of the staff. Because of this school, Mrs. McQuilkin and the Liberty staff, my son has now been diagnosed with PTSD and age regression. He's 7 and and flinches whenever someone raises hands in the air too close to him. His love of learning has gone because of her! He has also regressed in some areas whereas he has frequents mannerisms and reactions of a 4 or 5 yr old now. Our family has payed dearly since homeschooling my son, but it's been worth every debt after the damage this school has done to my child!!!! Just listen, pay attention, and fight for your kids if somethings not right!!!!
This is my son first year is school and he hates it he does not want to go to school says the tracher Mrs. Mcquilkin is always yelling at them I helped with math class and 2 boys told me that same thing they don't like her and she yells at them my son is always clipping down he says he is board she repeats the mae thing over and over. I work with the PTO and am forced to sign my son out if I want to walk out of the school at the end of the day and have recieved a kletter that I sign him out too much but he stays in the classroom till school is out. ASo even if parents want to be involved with the school and helping out they get letters saying they are signing their child out too much so what is the point of being involved
I love how involved the teachers are with the students. my daughter has a learning disability and since moving here and going to this school she has made a major improvement
My children are happy at Liberty. the teachers care and the administration listens to concerns. We need more parents to be active in the PTO.
My kids have attended Liberty for a total of almost 5 years. For the most part the school is lacking respect for other cultures and deversities. I can't help feel that when my son advances finally to middle school next year he may receive the respect he deserves. He has been bullied, and the prinicipal can care less. I continue to pray that my other child will have a better experience than her older brother. I even had a teacher write on my sons report card that it was basically an accident that he received all A's. I kept this and it has been my sons motivation ever since, guess what Liberty he continues to be on the A B honor roll.
My son has been there for 2 years now and he love it. The teachears he had so far had been great and dedicate to the students. The reading leves are amazing. And they focus and care for the students. But what the school neads are more parents to get involved. Teaches can not do our jobs as parents we need to support our kids.
My son is in 1st grade at Liberty and it is amazing how far he has come this year and how much he has learned. Being from Illinois, I was initially apprehensive as to what the quality of education would be in Tennessee, but after the strides my son has made both academically and behaviorally this year, I must admit I am nothing but impressed with the quality of education my son has received at Liberty this year.
My daughter has been there for three years now and I love the courtesy and the safety measures the school has in place. Teachers are prompt with repsonses to questions it is a wonderful school
My doughtor attended liberty for 2 years, and my son attended PK. All the teachers they had were so great. They both had lots of fun, and I loved the musinc performances. school building were clean, and most of the staff were understanding and helpful. However, the front office staffs are not friendry; rather, rude, nor are the most of transeportation staff. also, the lunch time seems to be too short, especially for younger grade students. note:There is a limit to how many PK student they can have.
i love this school so does my daughter the teachers are amazing the classrooms are not to big so it gives time for the teacher to have time for each child and i love all the extras the school has the music program the recess and labs we are going to miss this school hope there is an awesome school like this in bragg.
My daughter is currently in Kindergarten at Liberty. She was in pre-k last year and they were wonderful. if you have young kids going to school there is no need to worry about Liberty they truly love the kids and take every step needed to protect them
I have had four children in Liberty Elementary and I currently have three. My oldest son has since progressed to middle school. My children love Liberty Elementary. They think it s one of the best places in the world. My children have experienced other schools; military, civilian, home school and private school. It is clear that they like this school and are doing well. They enjoy their teachers and their principals. I have had children in Liberty now for four years. I have sat in the classrooms with my sons and daughters and observed the interaction between them and their teachers. This is a Great School!
my daughter and son go to this school and they both love it, very good teachers and friendly environment
I have two children at Liberty Elem. and it has been a wonderful experience. My son is now going into the sixth grade and says he is going to miss Liberty so much. My daughter is so excited about going into third. The teachers are wonderful and the office staff is always ready to help with any questions. The principals and staff are always ready with a smile and encouraging word for all the students as they enter and exit the building. It was easy to communicate with the teachers and they really cared about my children's progress. I would recommend this school to anyone.
My son went to this school in K and part of 1st grade. I couldn't have asked for a better teacher in either grade. They acknowledged that my son was a little more advanced in certain subjects and didn't limit him but supported him and us as the parents greatly. We now live in Virginia (military) and wish the teachers here cared about the kids more than the children just being a number. I loved Liberty and so did my son. He can't wait to move back to clarksville and go back to liberty. Thank you very much for a great learning experience.
I believe that my son is being provided a truly average curriculum in this school. The school work he brings home is 95% ditto work, which requires exremely little teaching by the teacher. This may be just the teacher, but each teacher's curriculum is reviewed by higher authorities in the school. Also, the playground is a joke compared with any school from California. The children seldom get to have recess. It's not every day. I believe that this is a serious flaw in their instruction to my child. New facilities do not always equal quality education.

- Sexually Assaulted
- Experiencing an Eating Disorder
- Having a Panic Attack
Suddenly or dramatically changing his or her behavior
(includes appetite, sleep, and mood)
- Unable to care for themself
Severely distorted thoughts
(i.e., hearing or seeing things that aren't there; severe paranoid thinking, etc.)
Suggested Referral
In these and other instances, referral to the Counseling Center may be advised. Consult with us if you are not sure!
- Depression
- Stress
- Career and Academic Concerns
- Anxiety
- Relationship Difficulties

Skip the knob turns and button presses on the radio.
The Programmer brings ALL the features of the radio to the computer screen where they are easily
See it done.
You can program your radio without having to wade through options that don't apply to your radio.
Check radio models here.
Any question about data transfer between the radio and computer can be answered by our tech support team, without having to guess about unknown electronics.
"I own many Alinco, Icom, Kenwood and Yaesu transceivers and receivers. I choose to buy RT Systems software for most of them because:
"As a programming professional, I wanted to let you know how much I appreciate the effort you folks have put into this great family of software.
I have spoken with other HAMs that have used other programming software, and the problems they have had, and I am so relieved that I have not experienced any of their problems. One poor fellow is now permanently locked out of using any programming software on his FT-857, Yikes! I guess you get what you pay for.
My favorite feature of your software is the ability to copy and paste from one radio to another. I have over 120 frequencies programed into my radios, and thanks to you, they are programmed consistently!
I should also mention that the one time I had to contact your tech support; my issue was resolved so well, I can't even remember all of the details.
73 and thanks again, for such a fine product."
"I have tried free software available elsewhere, and concluded that it is made for people who'd rather solve programming puzzles than get on the air."

I took both EX200 (RHCSA) and EX300 (RHCE) exams recently, and all I got was these 2, emailed
I took my nephew for a short trip to Gunung (Mount) Lambak last weekend.
We were there to climb up the mountain, invited by a friend, which also joined our climb.
It started to rain as we reached the top, and so we took an alternative route back, which is supposedly a lot easier than the one we took to go up. We don't want to injure ourselves falling down the steep and slippery slopes.
On our way back, we found a dirt bike left un-attended.
We later noticed that there's a group of people down the hill, and joined them.
The group was actually stuck there with their dirt bike, as the unexpectedly rough terrain became slippery after the rain. Making matters worse, the already exhausted chaps even ran out of drinking supplies.
We helped them for a bit, before continuing our journey.
It didn't take us long to finish the whole track, but we really enjoyed our trip. I'll sure come back, because my trip there was not just about climbing up Mount Lambak, but were to discuss things with my friend over there, which has not finished…
If you've been following my blog, you'll know that I've been doing WiFi projects for fun and profits (here, here, here, here). While I'm more into web development nowadays, I still have some the equipments at home, which I believe is still good for few more projects.
These equipments are high-powered, which if based on the following path loss calculator, could deliver 54Mbps speed even for a distance of 1000km.
Realistically, it'll be hard to achieve that speed with that distance (due to some factors of course), but if your requirement is a lot less than that, I can help you achieve it.
If you are interested in playing with these wireless equipments, or have some projects that could make good use of them, please let me know. It could think the following (but not limited to) uses of them;
p/s: The Single Board Computers are by itself interesting, because apart from to be used as Wireless Router/Access Point, with 4 mini-pci ports, 2 ethernet ports, 1 CF Card slot, and Linux installed, the possibility is just endless.
I quit photography quite a while ago, and I think it's time to convert all the RAW image files that I have to JPEG, and eventually delete all the RAW files.
For that I created a script to help me effortlessly do the conversion;
#!/bin/bash IFS=$'\n' for i in `ls`; do cd $i pwd mkdir jpeg ufraw-batch –out-type=jpeg –out-path=jpeg/ –compression=100 –overwrite *.NEF cd ../ done
The script requires you to have ufraw-batch, which is included in the ufraw package. If you're using Ubuntu/Debian and don't already have it installed, run the following command;
sudo apt-get install ufraw
I went to Putrajaya Challenge Park last weekend with 2 friends from work to try wall climbing. It was our first time, and I sure will do it again.
The video below is for my first climb. We moved on to more challenging walls afterward.
If you're in the Klang Valley area and want to try it out, Google Map can show you the way.
OK, this blog post is a bit boring. You can't blame a guy who has not been doing it for a very very long time, right?
