Nobody realizes that some people expend tremendous energy merely to be normal. – Albert Camus
Camus' words were the preface for Choices, an evening of five plays presented by the tiny Timshel Theater company of Montrose a few years back. "Timshel" is a Hebrew term translated as "thou mayest," meaning freedom of choice (as opposed to, say, "thou must"). This weekend in Ouray, Timshel, which specializes in thought-provoking theater, offers yet another play about choices: Cherry Docs, a play by David Gow about Mike Downey, a Neo-Nazi skinhead who has kicked a man to death, and Danny, the Legal Aid attorney, and liberal Jew, assigned to represent him. The title "Cherry Docs" comes from the crimson-colored combat boots Mike uses to commit his racially-motivated crime. Dalyan Pearson plays Mike, and Ouray physician David Olson portrays Danny. The play is about the clashing ideologies between the two men and their changing relationship. "It's very fascinating and timely," said Bill Bottomly, who is co-directing Cherry Docs with his wife, Ciel. "We've just gotten through an election. People can celebrate the outcome or moan about it – whatever they want – but the play does hint at some of the distinct dividing lines existing between certain sets of values. What's interesting is how the characters' relationship transforms both of their lives in several different ways. They're forced to examine their own perceptions and prejudices. For one man, the changes are quite profound – which causes the other man's life to be turned upside down." The play will be presented on Saturday at 7:30 p.m., and on Sunday at 2:30 p.m., at the Wright Opera House. Admission is free. In coming weeks, the production will also take place in Montrose and Paonia. For a full schedule, see timsheltheatre.com.
"I take a lot of solace in knowing people have their hands wrapped around my work in the early morning hours," says ceramicist Bill Wilson, who is once again giving over his home, his studio, and a piece of his soul to Art on Trout Road this weekend. The 22nd annual event four miles south of Montrose features pottery by Wilson – whose latest pieces incorporate a black glaze and bright colored glazes that lend an "abstract, painterly" quality to his work – western landscape paintings by Gina Grundemann, serigraphs and abstracts by Ron Hoeksema and mixed-media creations by Maya Nichols. Wilson has been a full-time potter since 1976. Every year around this time, "My home becomes an art gallery," he says. "It's a joy for me to have people visit and give them a better understanding of who I am and what I do."
Welcoming visitors to his studio may be a joy, but Wilson's art has also brought him pain. This accomplished ceramicist has been dealing with rheumatoid arthritis for 26 years. He suspects it's related to the chemicals. "Artists work with a lot of toxic materials," he says. "The worst flare-up I've had was building a kiln about 15 years ago." Yet ironically, "Because of my art, I'm able to keep doing my art," he adds. "Without moving my fingers, they would've frozen up years ago."
Ron Hoeksma, a 29-year resident of Log Hill, will exhibit the last of his serigraphs this weekend; he abandoned the form years ago due to the nausea, headaches and other reactions he was having to oil-based ink. "I used it for hours and hours, and years and years," he said. To protect himself, "I had fans going. I wore a gas mask. I finally said, that was enough of that." Today, Hoeksma's main inspiration is abstractions. He hasn't been showing them much around this region, though; patrons tend to favor "representational" works, "mementos of things they see," he explained. (He does show them in Taos.) His new work "might not look like the San Juans, but it was the San Juans that inspired me to paint it. I'm getting into the joy of painting for painting." And this weekend, "I would like to show the locals." Art on Trout Road will be open Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m.-5 p.m. The exhibit is located four miles south of Montrose off Highway 550. Turn east onto Trout Road and follow the signs.
Another exhibit worth noting this weekend is in Durango, where it's the last chance to see "About Light" at the Arts Center. The pieces in this exhibit, a group show featuring oil paintings by Caroline Reeves Johnson and Cynthia DeBolt, and ceramics by Ann Friedman, are serene and spare. "There is a thread of beauty, simplicity and plainness that runs through all the artists' work," says the show's curator, Mary Puller. "That was what we were pushing for, and it's what we got." The show is in the Barbara Conrad Gallery at the Durango Arts Center through Saturday, November 17.
Finally, if your preferred artistic media is snow (or at least, films about snow), the two latest from Teton Gravity Research premiere in a double feature tonight at the Sheridan Opera House. Further, the second installment in the Jeremy Jones snowboard trilogy Further, Deeper, Higher, traces summits in Japan, Austria, Norway and Alaska. In Jones' first picture, the director's team took a mountaineering approach, by flying into the ironically-titled Fairweather Range. And that was the end of flying – to anything. Once there, they camped on the glacier for 20 days, hiked to every ski line themselves (as opposed to being plopped on top by helicopter) and overcame what the seminal mountaineer Walter Bonatti called "the barrier of the impossible." Further features the work of a local. "Former Telluride resident Dutch Simpson served as an assistant editor and production intern for the film after he moved to Jackson Hole last spring," says the Sheridan's Kathrine Warren. The Dream Factory, meanwhile, is a paean to Alaskan skiing. As the late Doug Coombs, who pioneered heli-guiding in the Chugach in the early 90s, once remarked of the quality of coastal snow in the 50th state, "it's all about the Velvet." Teton Gravity Research has been producing films since 1996, and the Sheridan has been screening them for nearly a decade. "We're very pleased to bring both a snowboard and a ski film to local audiences," Warren says. With opening day just a week away, "it's the perfect way to get amped up for ski season." In addition to the films, there'll also be a raffle of free skis, courtesy of Jagged Edge, ski backpacks from Osprey packs (out of Cortez) and lift tickets to Silverton Mountain. Raffle tickets will be free with entry to each movie. The movies play at 6 and 8 p.m. Skis will be raffled off during the second screening of Dream Factory.

Safe and Eco-Friendly Alternative to Matchbox
This was supossed to be one of my soon to be two son's Xmas presents, but when the box came, he jumped for this set. This is a wonderful set of construction toys that can travel in a daiper bag or purse. It is made from recycled rubberwood and comes in a a box made from recycled paper. The non-toxic colors allow one to see the natural patina of the wood and so far he has given this toys set a true toddler beating and they don't look any worse for the ware. This is a safe and eco friendly alternative to matchbox cars.
Small but detailed
These three construction vehicles are tiny but function like the real thing. My 3 year old has this set and the highway maintenance set and together, he loves to build roads and houses and anything his imagination desires. The rollar tracks do come off and sometimes that can lead to frustration (or a choking hazard for my baby) but otherwise, this is a great set.

State Auditor's report on Gretna spending
Bellevue Police Department corporate card
John Stacey's travel and training requests, May 2011 through May2012
John Stacey's travel expenses, May 2011 through May 2012
* * *
The fired Gretna city administrator and Bellevue's police chief took trips that overlapped in four cities around the country, racking up thousands of dollars in bills charged to taxpayers.
The World-Herald reviewed travel and expense records for the Cities of Gretna and Bellevue, finding that former City Administrator Colleen Lawry and Police Chief John Stacey charged at least $5,000 to their employers for trips taken over a six-month period.
Sarpy County Attorney Lee Polikov said Monday that any overlap involving out-of-state travel between Stacey and Lawry using public funds deserved further investigation by law enforcement officials, who are already investigating Lawry.
Polikov said the Sheriff's Office has reached out to accounting experts for help in the continuing investigation.
"We need to analyze the airline travel and cross-reference the travel for both of them," Polikov said. "We need to see if there is any misuse of city resources for this relationship."
Gretna City Attorney John Green said Gretna officials are reviewing information regarding travel by Lawry and Stacey, and have talked with the Sarpy County Attorney's Office.
Green said the city has seen enough that it will withhold what was paid for those trips from Lawry's severance unless she can justify their purpose.
Green said Lawry's trips ostensibly were related to Gretna's hopes of redeveloping the Nebraska Crossing outlet mall.
"If they were solely to pursue a relationship, we will pursue that," Green said.
Last week, Lawry and Stacey each entered the spotlight for their professional troubles. Lawry was fired from the City of Gretna and charged with a felony on suspicion of taking money from a Gretna senior citizens fund.
Stacey was placed on administrative leave, according to a source, after he allegedly made an inappropriate remark to someone at the Bellevue Fire Department.
State Auditor Mike Foley, whose report took Gretna to task for its lax spending oversight, said Monday that it would cross the line for a public official to take a taxpayer-funded trip deliberately for personal reasons.
Still, he said, "I cannot prove either one of them did anything inappropriate, knowing what I know now."
Said Foley: "We do care, however, if a friendship is influencing an improper expenditure of funds. Then it would become of interest to our office."
Attempts to reach Stacey and Lawry were unsuccessful.
Stacey is married. Lawry filed for divorce in December.
Bellevue City Administrator Dan Berlowitz said he doesn't plan to interview Stacey about his travel "unless it's warranted."
Bellevue has reviewed all of Stacey's out-of-state travel, Berlowitz said. All the conferences representing the Police and Fire Departments appeared legitimate, and none of Stacey's city expenses appeared out of line, Berlowitz said.
"Nothing we have shows anything inappropriate or invalid," he said. "All were legitimate conferences and expenses."
Berlowitz said what Stacey did in his off time after attending conferences was his own business, "as long as it was not illegal."
"We don't have anything showing there was a violation or something that is a personnel matter," Berlowitz said.
The four overlapping trips occurred between August and January, according to a comparison of the state auditor's report and financial records for the Cities of Bellevue and Gretna.
Stacey, a former Bellevue fire chief who continues working with the department, traveled to Atlanta in late August for an International Association of Fire Chiefs meeting, City of Bellevue records show. He paid his own bill at a Hilton Garden Inn, the records show, but charged other costs.
Lawry traveled to Atlanta over many of the same days for economic development research on outlet malls, charging expenses at a Hilton Garden Inn, according to the account given to the State Auditor's Office.
Stacey traveled to Chicago in late October for an International Association of Chiefs of Police meeting, racking up a $1,200 bill at the Silversmith Hotel.
Lawry traveled to Chicago over some of the same days to research outlet malls, and the records show that she billed Gretna for a lunch at the hotel where Stacey stayed.
The next month, Stacey traveled to Fairfax County, Va., for a fire chiefs association training session, at no cost to the city. Lawry traveled to the same area over the same time to visit outlet malls.
Stacey traveled to Las Vegas in late January for a police workshop, although he didn't charge for a hotel. Lawry's travel to Vegas, again for outlet malls, overlapped. While the auditor's report doesn't show a full hotel bill, Lawry got reimbursed for a room upgrade at Bally's hotel — where Stacey's meeting was held.
An email obtained by The World-Herald shows that Stacey and Lawry had professional involvement together.
In a January email to Berlowitz and Bellevue's mayor, Lawry wrote that she had worked with Stacey "to gain his insight" on the issue of Enhanced 911 service in the county and that they discussed a regional 911 study. Those issues were a topic of debate last year involving all five cities in Sarpy County and Sarpy County government itself.
Lawry, in her email, told her Bellevue colleagues about a "glaring need" facing local governments to learn about a matter that could "result in a magnitude of cost savings to municipalities."
The glaring and costly issue: maintenance of emergency vehicles.
She pitched a proposal to begin a public safety awareness effort on the state level at a city managers conference in Lincoln. Lawry suggested that the effort would go wider at a Phoenix meeting of the International City/County Management Association.
Bellevue agreed to allow Stacey to participate in a panel.
The overlapping trips were part of a busy travel schedule for both officials.
According to the State Auditor's Office, Lawry booked 11 trips over the course of a year and charged $13,579 to the City of Gretna.
City of Bellevue records show that Stacey booked seven out-of-state trips since March 2011 and charged $3,800 to Bellevue.
Foley said he is not in a position to question Stacey's out-of-state travel. He said he did not know how frequently police chiefs of similar-sized cities attended national conferences or training. Some of Stacey's out-of-state travel expenses were related to his duties with the Bellevue Fire Department.
On Lawry's cross-country travel, Foley said he was troubled by her lack of supporting documentation for some trips.
He said his audit singled out Lawry's travel to Atlanta last August, which included a $667 expense from the Hilton Garden Inn. State auditors were unable to determine what the city funds paid for, Foley said.
"We could not tell what she was buying," he said. "Were there room charges, a lot of meals, movies? That (documentation) is not there, and there is no receipt."
Polikov said he had no information to suggest that Stacey's out-of-state travel was not legitimate. He said, however, that Bellevue city leaders would be wise to question Stacey about whether he needed to attend as many national conferences as he did.
Polikov said Lawry's trip to Chicago last October caught his attention.
"I see no merit to going around the country looking at outlet malls," he said.
In a report on her Atlanta trip, Lawry wrote to Gretna Mayor Sally McGuire that "Atlanta was a successful trip" during which she toured three malls.
In Illinois, Lawry wrote, her brother drove her to the Chicago Premium Outlets, where she got a "behind-the-scenes tour." The Virginia trip "gave a whole new perspective to my ongoing research," Lawry wrote. In Vegas, she reported back, she "visited extensively with store owners."
Gretna is competing with neighboring La Vista for development of an outlet mall.
La Vista Mayor Doug Kindig said city officials made one trip to Kansas City a couple of years ago to see the Power and Light District and get an idea of that project's scope. Its developer, Cordish Co., is behind an outlet mall proposed for La Vista.
Otherwise, Kindig said, La Vista officials don't travel just to look at a mall.
An earlier version of this article incorrectly stated the number of out-of-state trips Stacey took and the cost of the trips to Bellevue.
"If we want to see a T.J. Maxx, we can look at one in Omaha," he said. "We haven't made a specific trip to look at other malls as far as I can remember."

MARQUETTE - Authorities say someone apparently tried to get illegal drugs into the Marquette Branch Prison by tossing them over a fence to an inmate.
Police said the failed attempt happened Monday night in a wooded area on Marquette Branch Prison property.
State police and the Michigan Department of Corrections said a female tried to throw the drugs over the fence and she was taken into custody along with three males found nearby. They were later set free as the investigation into the attempt continues. Names weren't immediately released.

The corrections department says what appeared to be illegal drugs also were found in a prisoner's cell. They say such an attempt to get drugs into the prison is unusual.
Troopers from the Negaunee post declined to comment further today on the incident. Corrections Department officials in Marquette and Lansing were unavailable for comment before press time today.

"List price" is the suggested retail price provided to us by our vendors. We make no representation that a substantial number of these products have been sold or offered for sale at the list price. Actual retail prices in your area may be substantially different. Since we sell products on a national basis, it is not possible to know if our merchandise is sold at list price in any particular location or at any particular time. "You Save" reflects the difference between our price and the vendor provided list price shown on our sites. Since the list price may be different than the actual retail prices in your area, you may not actually realize a savings of this amount.
Manufacturers sometimes ask that retailers not display a price if it drops below a certain amount. The "Click here to see Lowest Price" message indicates that the price of the item is so low that the manufacturer requested that it not be advertised (that is, displayed). In a brick-and-mortar store, you would probably have to ask a salesperson what the price of the product is. At eCOST, by clicking on "Click here to see Lowest Price" you are essentially asking to see the price, at which point we show it to you.

For those of us who like to laugh or to post something which is amazing .......

This guy is truly awesome, thanks for posting Jess Dovey
A couple of jokes
A secretary was leaving the office one Friday evening when she encountered Mr. Jones, the Human Resources manager, standing in front of a shredder with a piece of paper in his hand.
"Listen," said Mr. Jones, "this is important, and my secretary has already left. Can you make this thing work?"
"Certainly," said the secreatry. She turned the machine on, inserted the paper, and pressed the start button.
"Excellent, excellent!" said Mr. Jones as his paper disappeared inside the machine. "I just need one copy."
A man was given the job of painting the white lines down the middle of a highway. On his first day he painted six miles; the next day three miles; the following day less than a mile. When the foreman asked the man why he kept painting less each day, he replied "I just can't do any better. Each day I keep getting farther away from the paint can."
Two employees for the gas company were at a house call. The younger man said to the older one, "Geez, you're old!"
"Yeah, that may be so, but I can still outrun you," replied the older employee.
"How about a foot race to see if your'e right," said the younger employee.
With that they start running at full speed around that block. The older man kept up with the younger man around the first corner, the second corner, the third corner. As they come up on the last corner, the younger man sees an eldery woman running as fast as her legs could carry her. Puzzled by this, they both stop ask her why she was running behind them. The old woman caught her breath and said, "Well, you were at my home checking my gas meter, and when I saw you running away, I figured I'd better run too!
Great clip Jess, thanks for posting!
Diamond, thanks for the jokes!
A plane was carrying a group of catholic pilgrims back from their pilgrimage, when both engines failed and the plane started hurtling to the ground. The bishop turned to a young priest and said "You'd better lead us in prayer Father!"
The young priest looked blankly at him, the bishop shouted "Prayer Father! You know, that thing we do in Church every Sunday!?"
"Oh yes the priest replied"
He stood up took the microphone and said to the plane "Eyes down for a full house. Key to the door, 21..."

Message Possibly the funniest story in a long while, this is a bricklayer's accident report, which was printed in the newsletter of the American Insurance Journal.
This is supposedly a true story.
Had this guy died, he'd have received a Darwin Award for sure.
Dear Sir: "I am writing in response to your request for additional information in Block 3 of the accident report form. I put "poor planning" as the cause of my accident. You asked for a fuller explanation and I trust the following details will be sufficient.
I was alone on the roof of a new six-story building. When I completed my work, I found that I had some bricks left over which, when weighed later, were found to be slightly more than 500 lbs. Rather than carry the bricks down by hand, I decided to lower them in a barrel by using a pulley, which was attached to the side of the building on the sixth floor.
Securing the rope at ground level, I went up to the roof, swung the barrel out and loaded the bricks into it.Then I went down and untied the rope, holding it tightly to ensure a slow descent of the bricks. You will note in Block 11 of the accident report form, that I weigh
135 lbs.
Due to my surprise at being jerked off the ground so suddenly, I lost my presence of mind and forgot to let go of the rope. Needless to say, I proceeded at a rapid rate up the side of the building.
In the vicinity of the third floor, I met the barrel, which was now proceeding downward at an equally impressive speed. This explains the fractured skull, minor abrasions and the broken collarbone, as listed in section 3 of the accident report form.
Slowed down slightly, I continued my rapid ascent, not stopping until the fingers on my right hand were two knuckles deep into the pulley. Fortunately by this time I had regained my presence of mind and was able to hold tightly to the rope, in spite of beginning to experience a great deal of pain. At approximately the same time, however, the barrel of bricks hit the ground and the bottom fell out of the barrel.
Now devoid of the weight of the bricks, that barrel weighed approximately 50 lbs. I refer you again to my weight.
As you can imagine, I began a rapid descent, down the side of the building. In the vicinity of the third floor, I met the barrel coming up. This accounts for the two fractured ankles, broken tooth and several lacerations of my legs and lower body.
Here my luck began to change slightly. The encounter with the barrel seemed to slow me enough to lessen my injuries when I fell into the pile of bricks and fortunately, only three vertebrae were cracked.
I am sorry to report, however, as I lay there on the pile of bricks, in pain, unable to move, I again lost my composure and presence of mind and let go of the rope and I lay there watching the empty barrel beginning its journey back down onto me. This explains the two broken legs
I hope this answers your questions.
Thanks for posting the link Tom... there are some really funny ones there. I love Attorney jokes.... sometimes they are even a joke themselves. Dovey
I thought the attorney jokes had some good ones in there, too. Thanks Tom.

I need to know what the aspect ratio of an image is so i can apply css properties to it depending on it being square, landscape, or portrait. is there a propery that will return this information?
photo:getRawMetadata( 'croppedDimensions' )
local function whatOrientation ( imageID )
local variableName = photo:getRawMetadata('croppedDimensions')
local outPutName = nil
if variableName.width > variableName.height then
outPutName = "landscape"
outPutName = "portrait"
if variableName.width == variableName.height then
outPutName = "square"
return outPutName
then use it in the galleryinfo.lrweb somewhow?
I am beyond new to using lua, and have a 15 year ago background in C that was never continued so I am way out of practice.
my goal is to set each thumbnail generated from the web gallery with a class selector for my css styles. I think what i am looking to do would be best setup in javascript but i would love if lightroom (lua in this case) can take some of the load off. so in the end i might have a gallery with 20 images, and 20 thumbnails, each thumbnail depending on its orientation I would set the selector when the gallery is generated. Any theory where to start or where I should be calling this function.
thanks again for responding,
Hi Ryan,
I'm not familiar with Lr web gallerys, but I think you've got the idea aspect-ratio/orientation-wise.
You probably want to have outputName set to something valid, unless the caller can handle nil. LrPhoto:getRawMetadata() can return nil, as well, so you might want to check for nil before trying to use it.
Also, note that LrPhoto:getRawMetadata() will need to be called from within an LrTask, either one you create yourself, or one provided by the SDK context you are running this in.

Security products and checklist authors assemble content from SCAP data repositories to create viable SCAP-expressed security guidance. A security configuration checklist that documents desired security configuration settings, installed patches, and other system security elements using a standardized SCAP format is known as an SCAP-expressed checklist.
Such a checklist would use XCCDF to describe the checklist, CCE to identify security configuration settings to be addressed or assessed, and CPE to identify platforms for which the checklist is valid.
The use of CCE and CPE entries within XCCDF checklists is an example of an SCAP convention—a requirement for valid SCAP usage.
These conventions are considered part of the definition of SCAP 1.1. Organizations producing SCAP content should adhere to these conventions to ensure the highest degree of interoperability. NIST provides an SCAP Content Validation Tool that organizations can use to help validate the correctness of their SCAP content.
The tool checks that SCAP content is well-formed, all cross references are valid, and required values are appropriately set.
- An OVAL vulnerability definition. This definition SHALL be contained in an OVAL Vulnerability component, which holds the definitions of the vulnerability checks used by the checklist. The OVAL Vulnerability component SHALL have at least one OVAL definition of class vulnerability, MAY have one or more additional OVAL definitions of classes vulnerability and/or inventory, and SHALL NOT have any other classes of OVAL definitions. An XCCDF Benchmark's rules MAY reference one or more OVAL vulnerability definitions in an OVAL Vulnerability component.
- An OCIL questionnaire. This questionnaire SHALL be contained in an OCIL Questionnaire component, which holds the questionnaires that collect information that OVAL is not being used to collect, such as giving a system administrator step-by-step directions for manually examining a system for a vulnerability that cannot be detected with OVAL, and then collecting information on the results of that manual examination. An XCCDF Benchmark's rules MAY reference one or more OCIL questionnaires in an OCIL Questionnaire component.
- An OVAL Patch component. The OVAL Patch component holds definitions for patch compliance checks. These checks may be needed if an organization includes patch verification in its vulnerability scanning activities. The OVAL Patch component SHALL have at least one OVAL definition of class patch, MAY have one or more additional OVAL definitions of classes compliance and/or inventory, and SHALL NOT have any other classes of OVAL definitions. An XCCDF Benchmark MAY reference an OVAL Patch component through a patches up-to-date rule in a manner consistent with Section 18.104.22.168.
- CPE Dictionary: specifies the products or platforms of interest.
- CPE Inventory: contains the technical procedures for determining whether or not a specific target asset has a product or platform of interest. The CPE Inventory component SHALL have one or more OVAL definitions of class inventory and SHALL NOT have any other classes of OVAL definitions

Munster prop BJ Botha is set to sign a two-year deal with mega-spending Toulon this week according to reports in France.
The former South Africa prop would join an already impressive front-row roster at Toulon, including Andrew Sheridan, Gethin Jenkins and Carl Hayman with Martin Castrogiovanni and John Smit also heavily linked with moves to the south of France.

Oceana In Christie's First-Ever Green Auction
I'd like to give you a sneak peak at the first international green charity auction to be held on the 40th anniversary of Earth Day, April 22, 2010.
Christie's International has invited four leading nonprofits to be the beneficiaries of its first charity auction for conservation: Oceana, Conservation International, the Natural Resources Defense Council and the Central Park Conservancy. Between us, we work on all seven continents – and, of course, the oceans in between.
A Bid to Save The Earth will include a live auction at Christie's New York City space in Rockefeller Center as well as a silent auction conducted online at Charity Buzz. Every item up for bid is donated, and Christie's is waiving all its usual fees to allow the maximum impact for the beneficiaries.

Anonymous Tips: Can They Really Be Anonymous? [Revised]
Authored by: Frayda Bluestein on Wednesday, April 9th, 2014
Note: This is a revised version of my earlier post on this topic. Thanks to my colleague Jeff Welty for his help in providing a more complete explanation of the criminal investigation exceptions. Local governments want to hear from their citizens. As one city's website says, it wants citizens to be its "eyes and ears." Digital government makes it easy for citizens to communicate with their local officials. Government websites promote telephone hotlines, web forms, digital suggestion boxes, and social media to get information on customer service, budget priorities, potholes and traffic jams, violations of city codes, and fraud, abuse, or other unethical acts by government employees or officials. To encourage candid comments, these forums often promise that information can be submitted "anonymously." Is this a promise local governments can keep? The only truly anonymous system may be one that neither requests nor captures identifying information. If a local government actually receives identifying information, however, or has a contractual right to obtain it from an outside service, that information is a public record and must be provided upon request, unless an exception in the public records law applies.

Disposing of Small Surplus Items: One Man's Junk is Another Man's Treasure
Authored by: Norma Houston on Thursday, April 3rd, 2014
Warm weather is finally here and it's time for some spring cleaning. There's your worn out office chair, that dented file cabinet whose drawers are stuck shut, those obsolete computers, and goodness-knows-what that is gathering dust in the public works warehouse. You hate to throw the stuff away. If someone will buy it (some people will buy anything!), you might generate a little much needed cash for your unit. Or, perhaps a local non-profit would be grateful to have some of these items (after all, your office chair isn't that old). Maybe some of your co-workers would be interested in buying some of the items (again, some people will buy anything!). Can you post the items on GovDeals and hope for the best? Can you call a local charity and ask them to haul the stuff away? Can you conduct an "in-house" sale open only to employees of your unit? What are your options? Read more »
Can a Property Owner Be Cited for a Zoning Violation by a Tenant?
Authored by: David Owens on Thursday, April 3rd, 2014
Betty Draper owns a single-family residence. She rents the property to four tenants. The zoning ordinance does not allow parking in the front yard and limits the number of cars that can be parked on the property to four vehicles. The residents regularly park in the front yard and often have eight cars parked on the lot. The neighbors complain. A city investigation establishes a clear-cut zoning violation. The staff has prepared a notice of violation, which provides that civil penalties will be assessed if the violation is not immediately remedied. Can the city send this citation and notice of violation directly to Betty or is it limited to citing the tenants who have too many cars parked at the house? Read more »
Court of Appeals Attempts to Clarify "Immaterial Irregularity" Provision
Authored by: Chris McLaughlin on Friday, March 28th, 2014
I often describe GS 105-394 as a "get-out-of-jail-free" card for local tax officials because the provision excuses mistakes in the administration of property taxes. In other words, taxes are not waived just because the tax office messed up. I wrote about this statute extensively here. While the provision can be extremely useful, its scope is murky at best. A recent opinion from the N.C. Court of Appeals attempts to provide some clarity but does so in a manner that raises more questions than it answers. Read more »
You've Consolidated. Do You Know Who Your Local Health Director Is?
Authored by: Jill Moore on Tuesday, March 25th, 2014
In the summer of 2012, the General Assembly enacted a law that authorized boards of county commissioners in North Carolina to consolidate county human services departments and boards. In the months since, twenty counties have taken actions under G.S. 153A-77. The exact actions have varied from place to place, but the most common action has been to create a consolidated human services agency (CHSA) combining the former county departments of health and social services, and sometimes other human services departments or functions as well. There are presently 17 CHSAs in North Carolina that include both public health and social services, as this map shows. North Carolina law requires counties to assure that public health services are available to their residents, a duty that is satisfied by the creation of a CHSA that includes public health. State law also creates the position of local health director, requires the person in that position to meet minimum education and experience requirements, and assigns quite a few powers and duties to that person. Traditional county health departments and multi-county district health departments are headed by a local health director who meets the statutory qualifications for the position and carries out the statutory powers and duties. However, a CHSA is led by a consolidated human services director--a position that is also created by statute but has its own powers and duties and is not subject to the education and experience requirements for a local health director. When a county creates a CHSA that includes public health, what becomes of the local health director? That is actually a multi-part question that is not entirely answered by law. What happens to the position of local health director is one thing, but what happens to the powers and duties of a local health director is another. Read more »
Solar Farms and Solar Rooftops
Authored by: Adam Lovelady on Monday, March 24th, 2014
Across North Carolina solar energy systems are filling pastures and cladding rooftops. According to solar industry reports, North Carolina ranked second in the country, behind only California, for solar photovoltaic capacity added in 2013. The rapid rise of the solar industry in North Carolina has many communities considering how to handle this new land use. Two new resources from the UNC School of Government—a free online report and a free upcoming webinar—seek to assist communities as they plan for and zone for solar development. Read more »
Preauditing Employee Salaries and Wages
Authored by: Kara Millonzi on Friday, March 21st, 2014
Having turned the corner on the Great Recession, the Town of FingersCrossing recently hired a few new employees. The finance office begins to process the first payroll since the new employees began working for the town. It is also the first payroll for the town's newly-promoted finance officer, Connie Scientious. Connie has diligently reviewed the statutes that govern her work. She also regularly reads Coates' Canons blog posts () and other relevant reference materials. As she reviews the payroll for approval, she asks her staff members to check to make sure that the new employee contracts were properly preaudited. Her staff members inform her that there are no employee contracts because these are "at-will" employees. The manager verbally hired each new employee and then sent a personnel action form (PAF) to the finance department directing staff members to add each new employee (and his/her salary or wage) to the payroll system. Connie balks at this. She distinctly remembers reading that she cannot approve any disbursement of public funds unless the contract or agreement authorizing the obligation was properly preaudited. Staff members tell her that the town has never provided a new employee with a written contract and has never preaudited a new employee's salary. They believe that she must be misinterpreting the statute. Is she? Read more »
Internships under the Fair Labor Standards Act
Authored by: Diane Juffras on Wednesday, March 19th, 2014
Look at two interns. Tim is a twenty-year old college student majoring in accounting. He expresses interest in an internship with the city's finance department over the summer. Chris, a high school athlete, applies for a position as an intern working in the city's summer camp program. The city offers them the internships. Tim is offered a stipend of $2,500 for ten weeks of full-time work. Chris is told he will not be paid at all. Are these arrangements lawful? It may come as a surprise, but in paying Tim a stipend of $2,500, the city is violating the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). In not paying Chris anything, on the other hand, the city is in compliance with the FLSA. How can this be so? Read more »
How a North Carolina Local Government Can Operate a Land Bank for Redevelopment
Authored by: Tyler Mulligan on Tuesday, March 18th, 2014
If America's cities and towns are to realize their greatest potential as attractive and welcoming places—and as drivers of the new American economy—they must be able to repurpose their vacant, abandoned and foreclosed properties. Those properties—whether the product of the current foreclosure crisis or the remnants of the old economy—diminish the sense of community among neighbors, erase the value of lifelong investment in a home, and make it nearly impossible for cities and towns to attract and keep the creative, innovative, entrepreneurial citizens who will build the next economy.
Dan Kildee, founder of Genesee County Land Bank, in the foreword to Land Banks and Land BankingDan Kildee's sentiment is shared by local governments across North Carolina, but how can they "repurpose" their vacant and abandoned properties and revitalize distressed communities? The answer in Genesee County, Michigan, was a redevelopment tool called a land bank, which is a public authority created to acquire and redevelop vacant and abandoned properties. In the span of a decade, the Genesee County Land Bank acquired more than 10,000 parcels to hold or redevelop, and during the "great recession," catalyzed more than $60 million in new private investment. Land banks continue to spring up across the nation and are playing an increasingly important role in revitalization efforts in places such as Cuyahoga County, Ohio, and Fulton County, Georgia. A complete explanation of land bank policies and approaches across the nation can be found in a downloadable text, Land Banks and Land Banking. In Michigan, forming a land bank is rather straightforward, because the Michigan state legislature enacted specific enabling authority for the establishment and operation of land banks. No such land bank legislation exists in North Carolina. Nonetheless, local governments in North Carolina can perform the basic functions of a land bank by cobbling together existing statutory authority. In this way, the local government itself serves as the land bank and performs the major activities of a land bank:
- Acquire and hold troubled properties
- Stabilize properties and eliminate encumbrances
- Convey properties to a redeveloper
Privilege License Taxes & Gross Receipts, Part IV: New Businesses
Authored by: Chris McLaughlin on Monday, March 17th, 2014
"The reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated." – Mark Twain The same could be said of local privilege license taxes, which are rumored to be on the chopping block seemingly every time the General Assembly convenes in Raleigh. In the past few years several bills that would have eliminated or revamped these taxes were introduced, but none of the bills gained much traction. Despite the fact that the full General Assembly will not open for business until May, one of its committees has already debated a bill that would dramatically change the privilege license tax landscape. This bill would repeal the many Schedule B caps and exemptions and replace them with one maximum privilege license tax rate of $100 for all businesses. We won't know for several months whether that draft bill will move forward or if other changes will be adopted. But for now local privilege license taxes remain alive and well. With that in mind, this post continues my previous discussions about levying privilege license taxes based on gross receipts. You can find my earlier posts on this topic here, here, and here.

Quick-Reference Guide for Closed Sessions
Authored by: Frayda Bluestein on Thursday, March 13th, 2014
The North Carolina open meetings law requires most official meetings of public bodies to be open to the public. The law also lists nine permitted purposes for meeting in closed session. It sets rules for announcing and conducting closed sessions, and cases have interpreted these provisions, providing additional guidance. This blog post outlines the general requirements for closed sessions, as well as special rules that apply to particular types of closed sessions. It also debunks three common misperceptions about closed sessions. Read more »
Running for Office: The Hatch Act is Nearly Dead
Authored by: Robert Joyce on Wednesday, March 12th, 2014
When an employee of a city or county wants to run for elective office, three legal considerations have traditionally leapt to mind—North Carolina's criminal conflicts of interest statute, the state's common law principle of incompatibility of office, and the federal Hatch Act. The first two are alive and well and kick up trouble for candidates every once in a while. They apply in only one limited situation—when the employee wishes to run for office in the very city or county that is the employer. An employee of Morganton can run for mayor of Hickory without concern about the conflicts of interest statute or the incompatibility doctrine. But when an employee of Scotland County wishes to run for county commissioner in Scotland County itself, there may be a problem with one or both. For a full discussion of these considerations, see Frayda Bluestein's excellent post here. But the third consideration—the federal Hatch Act—is nearly dead. Congress all but killed it effective January 2013. Read more »
Accessory Uses and Structures in the Zoning Ordinance: Eight Things to Remember
Authored by: Richard Ducker on Monday, March 10th, 2014
In the world of fashion they say that accessories make the man. What kinds of accessories are we talking about? Accessories such as belts, socks, handkerchiefs, ties, and caps. They complement a man's shirt, pants, shoes, and jacket. They enhance the style of the man. In the world of zoning we could say that accessories make a development project. What kinds of accessories are these? Accessories such as accessory uses and accessory structures. They include, parking lots, on-premises advertising signs, solar collectors, swimming pools, fuel tanks, storage sheds, basketball goals, work-place cafeterias, dish antennas, animal sheds, flower gardens and landscaping, mail boxes, helicopter pads, stormwater detention facilities, and playgrounds and recreational facilities. They complement the principal use and buildings that are a part of the premises. They are far more likely to be functional in nature than clothing accessories, but they too can enhance the style of a development project or the use of property. Read more »
Do Election Laws Affect Voter Turnout?
Authored by: Michael Crowell on Friday, March 7th, 2014
For the last 30 years North Carolina, like most states, has been making it easier to register and vote. In the early 1980s the only way you could register was to go before an official of the local board of elections in person. Since then registration has been expanded to driver license offices and other government agencies, and now is available online. Once you register your name no longer is removed if you fail to vote in several consecutive elections, as used to be the case. Absentee voting previously was available only by mail and was reserved for voters who could not get to their precinct on election day; in recent years "early voting" polling places have been open for nearly three weeks before election day for anyone who wants to cast a ballot in advance. Other changes also have made registration and voting more convenient. In 2013 the General Assembly backtracked on some of those voting changes. The most significant actions were the shortening by one week of the time for early voting and the elimination of same-day registration and voting. Before the new rules take full effect with the 2014 election it may be a good time to ask what difference those election law changes of the last several decades made in whether people voted. Did any of the expanded opportunities to register and vote added since 1980 appreciably affect voter turnout or not? Read more »
New Construction Delivery Methods – Public-Private Partnerships (P3)

Databases Under the Public Records Law
Authored by: Frayda Bluestein on Monday, March 3rd, 2014
Public agencies increasingly use databases to organize, store, and access public information. A database sometimes includes information that comes from records of multiple separate agencies, and these agencies may have access only to their own information, or to the entire database. If a member of the public seeks access to all or some of the information in the database, which agency is responsible for providing access as the custodian of the record? The Court of Appeals opinion in LexisNexis Risk Data Management, Inc. v NC Administrative Office of the Courts provides a partial answer to this question, and establishes some key principles regarding the status of databases under the North Carolina public records law. This blog post summarizes the holding, and discusses some of its implications for public entities that create and have access to databases containing public information. Read more »
Budgeting Under "Tag & Tax Together"
Authored by: Chris McLaughlin on Thursday, February 27th, 2014
It's almost budget time again for local governments across North Carolina, and tax collectors need to be involved. Collectors have the responsibility of estimating the property tax collection rate for the current fiscal year (2013-2014), which is the maximum collection rate a local government may use when budgeting property tax revenues for the coming fiscal year (2014-2015). For more details, see this post. This year the task of estimating the property tax collection rate is more difficult due to the switch in September 2013 to the new registered motor vehicle ("RMV") property tax collection system known as "Tag & Tax Together."

What Is Necessary to Adopt a Code of Ordinances and Why Does It Matter?
Authored by: Trey Allen on Monday, February 24th, 2014
Peaceful Town is famous for being a quiet place to live. The town has earned this reputation through strict enforcement of its noise ordinance, which bans the use of electronic devices to project sound that is plainly audible at a distance of more than 25 feet on public streets. As mandated by state law, the town has both an ordinance book and a code of ordinances, each of which the town clerk retains in her office. The clerk inserts all ordinances into the ordinance book immediately upon their enactment. At least once each year, the board of aldermen adopts a resolution for the purpose of incorporating recently enacted ordinances into the town code. Whenever the board takes such action, the clerk adds any ordinance covered by the resolution to the code of ordinances and removes it from the ordinance book. The board of aldermen unanimously passed its noise ordinance in March 2000. In September 2000 it adopted a resolution incorporating the noise ordinance and several other ordinances enacted during the year into the town code. Jason Stentorian, age 19, is an anomaly in Peaceful Town. To the dismay of local merchants and their patrons, he insists on driving through the downtown area while playing his car radio at volumes well in excess of what the noise ordinance allows. Pursuant to G.S. 14-4, local police have charged Jason with a misdemeanor for violating the noise ordinance. At a hearing in district court, Jason's attorney argues that the noise ordinance is unenforceable. The attorney doesn't dispute that the board lawfully enacted the noise ordinance in March 2000; rather, he contends that the board never properly added it to the town code. According to Jason's attorney, if the governing board of a county or city wishes to add a previously enacted ordinance to its code of ordinances, it must adopt a separate ordinance to that effect. Is Jason's attorney correct in arguing that a governing board may not act by resolution to incorporate an existing ordinance into a county or city code? Does it matter for purposes of determining whether Peaceful Town's noise ordinance is enforceable? This blog post answers those questions. Read more »
The FLSA's Administrative Exemption from Overtime Pay
Authored by: Diane Juffras on Wednesday, February 19th, 2014
Under the Fair Labor Standards Act, a government employee is entitled to overtime pay after working 40 hours in a week, unless an exemption applies. If an exemption applies, the employee is said to be "exempt" and is not entitled to overtime pay even at 60 or 80 hours worked in a week. Positions are exempt from the FLSA's overtime rules if they meet three requirements:
- the position is paid on a salary basis; and
- the position is paid a minimum of $455 per week; and
- the duties of the position satisfy either the executive duties test, the administrative duties test, or the professional duties test.

Urlacher! A no brainer for the Patriots....
posted at 3/21/2013 5:06 PM EDT
In my humble opinion forget all the rush DE's and WR's and even the DB's the Patriots could chase to become members of the 2013 Patriots go get Urlacher. Just like when BB went and got Rodney he also went and signed Seau,well history is repeating itself they already have the SS now go get the other piece...

Seau was signed AFTER the super bowl wins and was brought it on replace Roman Phifer and Ted Johnson, MLB wasn't an area of weakness when they signed Harrison the SS.
Currently, with the team playing mostly 3-4 and both Mayo and Spikes able to be man the middle, ther eis no opening for a starter there. Just depth. And the depth needs speed, not a bulky older guy like Urlacher who has lost a step.
posted at 3/21/2013 5:18 PM EDT
Rosie Colvin was that guy brought in with Harrison, a 10 sack guy on the outside... and THAT is exactly what we still need. Dumervil, Abraham, Freeney... someone there to add pressure b/c Nink definitely is not, despite being a gritty guy that can make plays.
Michael Bennett going to Seattle for only 5m a year is a tragedy... that guy was worth the Adlaius Thomas contract we gave out once... 5/35... and we could have had him for like 4/22.... GOOD LORD that killed me.
posted at 3/21/2013 5:20 PM EDT
Cullen Jenkins as well should have been a Pat... Jenkins and Bennett for the line... Talib, Arrington and Wilson for the secondary and a backup LB with some speed is what I wanted for the D. Maybe also another outside CB, like Gamble, for close to the vet min.

In response to sportsbozo1's comment:
Urlacher was not in good enough shape too play last year as his quads were not ready for the type of work he usually puts in, that not withstanding he is still a better ILB in a 3-4 than most of the LB's on the Patriots simply because he plays the ball. They can't sign Gamble because he's alledgedly retiring. I'm just stating my own opinion. I would love to have seen either Bennett or Jenkins but evidently BB wasn't as impressed.
BB needs to not think he can go through the seasons with backups and old men at De and DT.
I meant that we play more 4-3 now, not 3-4, and Urlacher isn't worth it to be in that defense. If we played more 3-4 and he wanted the Seau role from '06 and '07 then sure.

Thursday, April 24, 2014
JOHANNESBURG — South Africa's president on Monday said a critically ill Nelson Mandela was "asleep" when he visited the 94-year-old in a hospital, and he urged the country to pray for Mandela, describing him as the "father of democracy" who made extraordinary sacrifices on behalf of his people.
South African President Jacob Zuma addresses journalists in Johannesburg Monday. Zuma said that Nelson Mandela's condition in a Pretoria hospital remained critical for a second straight day and described the stricken anti-apartheid hero as being "asleep" when he visited Mandela the previous evening.
President Jacob Zuma told dozens of foreign and South African journalists that doctors are doing everything possible to help the 94-year-old former president feel comfortable on his 17th day in a Pretoria hospital, but refused to give details of Mandela's condition, saying: "I'm not a doctor."
The briefing highlighted the tension between the government's reluctance to share more information about Mandela on the basis of doctor-patient confidentiality, and media appeals for thorough updates on a figure of global interest. The government's belated acknowledgement that an ambulance carrying Mandela to the hospital on June 8 broke down has fueled the debate about transparency versus the right to privacy.
Zuma's briefing, held in a century-old Johannesburg mansion that now hosts conferences and other events, was also an indicator of the extent to which reports on Mandela's health sometimes overshadow the business of the state. Under questioning, Zuma said President Barack Obama would go ahead with a visit to South Africa, despite concerns about Mandela's health.
"President Obama is visiting South Africa," Zuma said. "I don't think you stop a visit because somebody's sick."
Obama, who arrives in Africa this week, will visit Senegal, South Africa and Tanzania.
Zuma, who in the past has given an overly sunny view of Mandela's health, briefly spoke of his visit Sunday night to Mandela in the hospital in the capital. That visit was mentioned in a presidential statement on the same night that said Mandela, previously described as being in serious but stable condition, had lapsed into critical condition within the previous 24 hours.
"It was late, he was already asleep," Zuma said. "And we then had a bit of a discussion with the doctors as well as his wife, Graca Machel, and we left."
The president said South Africans should accept that Mandela is old, and he urged people to pray for their former leader.
"Madiba is critical in the hospital, and this is the father of democracy. This is the man who fought and sacrificed his life to stay in prison, the longest-serving prisoner in South Africa," Zuma said, using Mandela's clan name.
Mandela, who became South Africa's first black president after the end of apartheid in 1994, was hospitalized for what the government said was a recurring lung infection. This is his fourth hospitalization since December.
Mandela was jailed for 27 years under white racist rule and was released 23 years ago, in 1990. He then played a leading role in steering the divided country from the apartheid era to an all-race democracy. As a result of his sacrifice and peacemaking efforts, he is seen by many around the world as a symbol of reconciliation.
"Nelson Mandela, for me, is like my father," Alex Siake, a South African, said in Pretoria. "Every day, I just pray that he can recover quickly and be among us again."
The Democratic Alliance, South Africa's main opposition party, said in a statement that the news that Mandela was in critical condition came "as a blow to all South Africans."
Zuma referred to the transfer of Mandela from an ambulance with engine trouble to another ambulance on the night he was taken to the hospital in Pretoria.
