The paintings of Rembrandt van Rijn and Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio are known for their mastery of brightness and contrast in portraiture or scenery.

Levoca is nothing special when you're looking to the map of eastern Slovakia. If you are traveling in this area (national parks, castles and so on), it would be a crime not to stop in the Levoca town. Take a break near the gate of Kosice, which is a monument and of course the main doors to the old town treasures of this beautiful town.1 Share Tweet

CAIRO - Egyptian Prosecutor General Abdel-Meguid Mahmoud indicted 26 members of a Hezbollah-led terror cell on Sunday.
The defendants, who were arrested in April, have been charged with plotting terror attacks and aiding terror operatives in the Gaza Strip.
When Egypt first announced the arrests, Hezbollah spiritual leader and general secretary Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah refuted accusations that the cell planned to carry out attacks within Egypt.
But he did admit dispatching an agent to supervise arms shipments to the Gaza Strip.
The 26 suspects indicted on Sunday include five Palestinians, two Lebanese, one Sudanese, and five Egyptians members of the Muslim Brotherhood, which is outlawed in Egypt.
The prosecutor said the defendants will be tried in the State Security Emergency Court, a military tribunal known for its speedy proceedings and for disallowing any appeals.
According to the indictment, 18 of the suspects have been spying for Hezbollah since 2005, providing information such as tourist travel routes and destinations in the Sinai (for potential kidnappings), Suez Canal schedules and various other security information.

There's no arms race going on in the AL East, as there's really only one team stockpiling weapons.
Shoot, the Toronto Blue Jays are acting like an action movie star that just walked into an armory. And after adding R.A. Dickey, Mark Buehrle, Josh Johnson, Jose Reyes, Emilio Bonifacio and Melky Cabrera to their roster, there's no question whatsoever that they're the team to beat in the AL East in 2013.
It doesn't feel right, but the Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees both look like second-tier punks on paper (and I stress on paper) next to the Blue Jays. Both have been busy this winter, but neither of them have a star-studded roster quite like the one the Blue Jays have arranged.
Nor does either club seem totally willing to match wits with the Blue Jays: The Yankees are playing it safe, and the Red Sox are merely trying to reshape a horrid team into a respectable team.
But let's go ahead and stray into an alternate reality where the Yankees are willing to abandon their plans for a tighter payroll and the Red Sox are willing to abandon their apparent three-year plan. In this reality, there are a few moves each of them can make to put themselves on the same level as the Blue Jays.
With the right amount of cunning and a few Christmas miracles along the way, here's how the Yankees and Red Sox can make themselves into super-teams again.

Fired African-American Hotel Worker at Irvine Embassy Suites Claims Racial Discrimination
Clergy members and activists protest Irvine Embassy Suites
Activists and clergy members from numerous organizations gathered outside Irvine Embassy Suites earlier this month to support former employee Aaron Westly who claims management fired him after he complained to no avail about a coworker calling him an "animal" and "nigger." The story of racial harassment went unreported save for the Tri-County Bulletin, an African-American newspaper serving the Inland Empire, Long Beach and Orange County.
In an article by Dianne Anderson, Westly recounts how he reported the incident to Human Resources. They responded with a dim light bulb of an idea of placing him in a room full of Latinos for an instructional 'learn to get along' session. Two of Westly's Latino coworkers already knew how to get along and backed his claims as witnesses.
Despite that, Westly lost his job at Irvine Embassy Suites the day before Thanksgiving. UNITE Here Local 11, entrenched in a long labor battle with the hotel, actively supported his cause. "He was saying that he's been called names like that before in his life, he lives in America and he's a Black man, that's true," says union spokeswoman Daria Ovide in the Tri-County Bulletin. Ovide claims that if hotel workers had the ability to unionize without intimidation, Westly would've been afforded protections in the matter as a union worker. "But that this time he's standing up and fighting back."
Anderson reached out to Iger & Associates for comment. The consulting firm stood up for Irvine Embassy Suites saying it has a strong history of hiring and supporting workers of color. They called Westly's claims of discrimination "unfounded" while taking a swipe at UNITE Here for opposing secret ballot elections for unionization.

Lemme is an abreviation of "let me". Although used mostly in text, this vocal verbatim is a key component of the language of modern youths. Since the pronounciation of "let me" requires too many syllables, lemme has become an accepted form of expressing this action.

If the ticket wins, will Donald Trump's chief of staff sideline Vice President Pence, or will he rely on him as a valuable resource in uniting a profoundly divided country? . . . Briefly put, will Pence matter?

The regime we live under—the regime of the United States Constitution—began with a set of clear understandings. One was that the federal government was to be the servant of the people.

Donald Trump's surprise visit to Mexico on August 31 has been analyzed every which way, except for one—the one that may, in the long run, prove most important.

Cal Thomas notes that many people are afraid to say what should be said about the link between Islam and terrorism for fear of being labeled an "Islamophobe." He also notes that Chronicles and Srdja Trifkovic are not among those who are afraid.
With only a year in national politics, Trump does not have to show a mastery of foreign and domestic policy details. Rather, he has to do what John F. Kennedy did in 1960, and what Ronald Reagan did in 1980. He has to meet and exceed expectations, which are not terribly high.
For those who have been paying attention for the past couple of decades, Aleppo Boy is a familiar example of what is known as "atrocity porn," titillating the audience through horror and incitement to hatred of the presumed perpetrators.
Do the major media understand that in their determination, bordering on desperation, to kill Trump, they are killing their credibility? And as they are losing credibility they are losing the country.

With an office but 200 metres from the only bridge over the Ibar River that connects the town's Albanian south and Serbian north, Mitrovica Mayor Avni Kastrati said he believes that the security situation in the town has greatly improved.
The tension is eased, he said, despite an April 7th incident in which an Albanian was killed in a blast in the northern part of the city. "The citizens understood it as an unorganised act, meaning, it was done by a group of extremists," Kastrati said in an exclusive interview with SETimes.
The incident prompted the authorities to significantly enhance security, including bringing in forces from surrounding towns. They are more visible and more accessible, ready to act on a moment's notice if requested by citizens.
"EULEX and KFOR have re-organised and now there are 24-hour patrols in mixed neighbourhoods, in addition to foot patrols. The latest EULEX decision to move together with the Kosovo police from 8am to 4pm in the sensitive areas is having an impact," Kastrati said.
He is particularly keen to correct media reports that 40 Albanian families have left northern Kosovo since the April 7th incident, among the 11,000 Albanians who have reportedly left since 1999.
"I have the registers in my office, name and surname, and for the moment only seven families have withdrawn temporarily. They have not left, but have gone for two or three days. It was a tense situation and people were frightened," Kastrati said.
Despite the security gains, however, Kastrati cautioned the authorities are vigilant because of Serbia's elections on May 6th, which he called a critical day for Kosovo.
Serbian-elected mayors in northern Kosovo said they plan to conduct Sunday's elections, including in northern Mitrovica -- an act Pristina and the international community call illegal.
"First ... they know the elections will be unacceptable. But if they attempt to organise the elections, citizens will not cause tensions because they are sure the Kosovo police, together with the international community, will act according to the constitution," Kastrati said.
A complicating factor for him is that since 1999, northern Mitrovica has been under dual UN and Serbian-organised municipal administration.
Kosovo's legislation stipulates that expenses for the UNMIK administration in northern Mitrovica, including salaries and capital investments, are covered by the Mitrovica municipality budget.
But Kastrati explained the local authorities do not have enough oversight of spending in northern Mitrovica, which causes significant problems for the mayor's office as well as for the budget it commands.
"The law on public procurement for public spending was not implemented until a year ago, and we have intensified our activities and do not transfer money if the procedures are not maintained. Many projects which must be implemented throughout the year are done at the end of the year or during the last months, which is not right," Kastrati said.
He said Mitrovica authorities proposed that the ministry of finance set up a separate budget for UNMIK.
"Auditing public spending, which must be done everywhere, is not done. We have tried to go there and did not succeed, because neither UNMIK nor external auditors co-operate," Kastrati said.
He said the potential revitalisation of the Trepcha mine offers great hope to calm inter-ethnic problems. "If the issue of Trepcha is resolved, many issues, not to say all, will be resolved," he said.
Trepcha was one of the biggest industrial enterprises in the former Yugoslavia, employing over 23,000 people from throughout Kosovo.
"Trepcha is managed by the privatisation agency, and they [in Trepcha] do not have many decision-making rights. So if a modality is found for Trepcha to begin working, it will be one of the main elements to overcome the tense situation in Mitrovica," Kastrati said, adding that just the fact Albanians and Serbs would work together will have a positive impact.
Kastrati said he hopeful that Mitrovica one day will be a unified town again and the Ahtisaari plan is the key to resolving the problem.
Security in Mitrovica Improving, But Mayor Urges Caution

One Man's Hero Is Another Man's Goat
Perhaps Bernanke did save the system, at least for the moment, but the question remains: what do you mean by "the system"? If you mean an economy dominated by ill-managed, irresponsible big banks and other financial institutions (e.g., Fanny, Freddie, AIG) backed up by an ill-managed, irresponsible central monetary authority that stands ready to bail out these high-stakes gamblers, then, yes, Bernanke has saved the system so far. It may still crumble, however. This house of cards is surely not fated to last as long as the pyramids of Egypt.
Welch thinks Bernanke "is operating on [sic] a clear intellectual framework." I agree. Bernanke's career as a mainstream macroeconomist is a matter of public record. Inspecting his writings and his speeches over the years, one sees that with regard to macroeconomic stabilization, Bernanke believes in the Fed's ability and its right to act as a monetary central planner for the U.S. economy (and to a large extent, for the world economy, owing to America's dominant position in global trade and finance). He has never met a recession or depression he thinks cannot be prevented or moderated and reversed by sufficiently great inflation of the money stock. And he definitely practices what he preaches, as shown beyond all doubt by this evidence on the Fed's recent doubling of the monetary base.
Welch's approbation of Bernanke's "clear intellectual framework," however, must be taken with a grain of salt. What does Jack Welch know about macroeconomics or optimal monetary policy? In making such pronouncements, he follows in a long tradition of huffing and puffing about economics, politics, and all sorts of other things by men whose only proven talent is their ability to run a big company. In 1970, Herman Krooss brought forth a book about such pronouncements called Executive Opinion: What Business Leaders Said and Thought on Economic Issues, 1920's-1960s. If this tome does not convince you that leading business executives tend to make fools of themselves whenever they make statements about anything other than their own businesses, then probably nothing can convince you.

this is one of the features in 2.0.2 where small load litmus will be run by QE (abhinav).
IO Batching improvements Mike Abhinav (small load) Ronnie / Pavel Do litmus
per mike:
I spent a lot of time verifying this fix and making sure that we do have improved batch scheduling. If you want to test this I recommend only doing performance testing. I already did some of this and found a very small improvement, but the big win here in my mind is simplification of code. I would only reopen this issue if we saw a performance regression.
Some preliminary perf tests show improvement in Drain rate
Thanks Abhinav, Ketaki.
Hi Abhinav — Once we get the build with MWR and the 2.0.2 feature set, pls re-run the same tests. Thanks.
1) For RN and DOC or just RN?
2) I think this means that MRW implementation also included i/O performance for individual threads. Confirm? If incorrect, please explain what this improvement is?
Per PM (Anil) it sounded like not a RN candidate:
From Anil's previous email:
"Okay, so its not RN candidate but we can document this enhancement in 2.1.0 but not in-terms of performance gain."
This batch scheduling mechanism is independent of MRW. This enhancement mainly for better scheduling of batching Couchstore I/O for each individual thread (reader or writer). Hope this clarifies things better.

Fess Parker played Davy Crockett on TV, American school and military bands played Dixie and the late country music legend Johnny Cash sang God Bless Robert E. Lee that includes these words:
I won't ever stop loving you my Dixie till they put me in the ground. And the last words they probably hear from me are God bless Robert E Lee.
What was General Robert E. Lees favorite war horse? See answer at end of article.

During Robert E. Lee's 100th birthday in 1907, Charles Francis Adams, Jr., a former Union Army Commander and grandson of United States President John Quincy Adams, spoke in tribute to Robert E. Lee at Washington and Lee College's Lee Chapel in Lexington, Virginia. His speech was printed in both Northern and Southern newspapers and is said to had lifted Lee to a renewed respect among the American people.
Could you imagine the President of the United States, members of Congress or A Northern Veteran speaking publicly today in tribute to General Lee like Commander Adams and President Theodore Roosevelt did while touring the South in 1905?....The president told an aged group of Confederate Veterans in Richmond, Virginia: Here I greet you in the shadow of the statue of your Commander, General Robert E. Lee. You and he left us memories which are part of the memories bequeathed to the entire nation by all the Americans who fought in the War Between the States.
Who was Robert E. Lee?
Robert E. Lee was born on Jan. 19, 1807, at Stratford in Westmoreland County, Virginia. The winter was cold and the fireplaces were little help for Robert's mother, Ann Hill (Carter) Lee, who suffered from a severe cold. Ann Lee named her son "Robert Edward" after her two brothers.
Lee was educated at the schools of Alexandria, Va., and also received an appointment to the United States Military Academy at West Point in New York in 1825. He graduated in 1829, second in his class and without a single demerit.
Robert E. Lee's first assignment was to Cockspur Island, Georgia, to supervise the construction of Fort Pulaski.
Robert E. Lee wed Mary Anna Randolph Custis in June 1831. Robert and Mary had grown up together. Mary was the daughter of George Washington Parke Custis, the grandson of Martha Washington and the adopted son of George Washington.
In 1836, Lee was appointed to first lieutenant. In 1838, with the rank of captain, Lee fought valiantly in the War with Mexico and was wounded at the Battle of Chapultepec.
He was appointed superintendent of West Point in 1852 and is considered one of the best superintendents in that institution's history.
General Winfield Scott offered Robert E. Lee command of the Union Army in 1861, but he refused. Lee would command the legendary Army of Northern Virginia for the South during the War Between the States.
The answer to the question of what was Lees beloved war horse is Traveller who is buried near Robert E. Lee and his family at Washington and Lee University in Lexington, Virginia.
Do our schools teach the young folks about Robert E. Lee and his farewell address to the troops?
Robert E. Lee,
Farewell to the Army of Northern Virginia
Headquarters Army of Northern Virginia Appomattox Courthouse, April 10, 1865 (General Orders No. 9)
After four years' arduous service, marked by unsurpassed courage and fortitude, the Army of Northern Virginia has been compelled to yield to overwhelming numbers and resources.
I need not tell the survivors of so many hard fought battles who have remained steadfast to the last, that I have consented to this result from no distrust of them, but feeling that valor and devotion could accomplish nothing that could compensate for the loss which would have attended the continuation of the contest, I have determined to avoid the useless sacrifice of those whose past services have endeared them to their countrymen. You will take with you the satisfaction that proceeds from the consciousness of duty faithfully performed, and I earnestly pray that a merciful God may extend to you His blessing and protection. With an increasing admiration of your constancy and devotion to your country, and a grateful remembrance of your kind and generous consideration of myself, I bid you an affectionate farewell.
Robert E. Lee General
Lets not forget our heroes
Yeah, because buying and selling human beings like cattle was uber cool and patriotic.
Robert E. Lee was the greatest American general, bar none.
Like they did in some of the Northern States?
I think Pickett changed his attitude about Lee after Gettysburg...
"...slavery as an institution is a moral and political evil." -Robert E. Lee.
He didn't believe in slavery, but refused to side with the north against his native Virgina.
Nobody likes to run over a dead dog but like I said before it wasn't the CSA flag that flew over the slave ships is was the stars and stripes.
Oh goodie, goodie, goodie! We haven't had an ole' North Freeper vs South Freeper feud in quite a while. Pass the popcorn, tomkat!
Interesting name for a website.
Nobody likes to run over a dead dog but like I said before it wasnt the CSA flag that flew over the slave ships is was the stars and stripes.
Very true. But some decades later, it was the CSA flag flying over the troops fighting to save the state right to hold other human beings in bondage.
The South was Right.
Having said that, things could've had a decisively different outcome if REL had listened to Longstreet.
All his other accomplishments notwithstanding, coming across that much open ground was madness.
And a lot of those ships sailed from NEW ENGLAND ports.................
he was a great engineering strategist. he gained his initial fame in the Mexican War as he taken under the wing of Winfield Scott in the great march from Veracruz to Mexico city...and he distinguished himself there multiple times.
early Civil War was also a great time for lee...but he got over his head at Gettysburg. He did not get the message across to J.e.b. Stuart when he needed him and his orders were not clear. he did way to much assuming with his subordinates and they failed him. and when he should have listened to his higher subordinates (Longstreet) he did not and that became Pickett's charge
Salute to a military genius and an honorable man.
The biggest question about Lee was what was he was thinking at Gettysburg. I think he COULD have pulled it off. If Longstreet had made sure to commit all his troops simultaneosuly as ordered and had Stewart been successful in his attack at Meade's position from the rear where Pickett was aimed, it might have turned out differently. Then again, maybe not. If he broke through there would he have been able to use that operation successfully?
I am reading "The Last Invasion". The book describes something often overlooked in books on Gettysburg - the MASSIVE panic, terror and disruption caused in the North by his invasion. Perhaps if Lee had not chosen to engage the Union Army, but just rolled on through PA, Ohio and NJ living off the land until the elections, Lincoln would have been defeated.
The Civil War or more properly The War Between the States raise in me so many conflicting feelings that it is hard to take a stand either way.
Slavery was evil and indefensible and inconsistent with the concepts expressed in the Declaration of Independence. We are still paying the price for it.
Yet the Constitution does NOT forbid the secession of a state and the Articles of Ratification of at least two states, which by acceptance by the Consitutional Convention extended to all the states, a state has a right to secede or nullify a Federal Law.
The dleiberate war waged against a civilian population by the North was an evil precedent.
Had the South succeeded in its efforts, the future of the world might have been very different. Could a divided America have achieved the economic and industrial accomplishments of a unified America? Could a divided America have successfully fought Hitler and Tojo and won the Cold War?
Interesting thoughts to ponder.
But by any criteria Lee was a great American, and a decent man of moral courage who found himself in a difficult and troubling position.
Who ARE YOU?
I smell libtard troll infiltration....
Traitor is the opposite of honorable.
Mr BigReb555,
The "Victors" write the history. And in the "WAR(1860-1865)" there really were NO "Victors". Slavery(and OTHER factors) TORE this country apart and we are still dealing w/ it. Gen Lee was a GREAT American and unfortunatly again The "Victors" wrote the history. Slavery was a "Time-Bomb" that Great Britain left this country with.
To them, America is irrelevant. Foil them by joining the NSSA and smell the smoke and relive the past.
Another Southern general of the same ilk was LtGen Wade Hampton of SC.
Well worth reading his bio...
PS. I was born and live in the North...but my people did not enter this fair land till the turn of the century (19th-20th). I have no North-South Ax to grind. I am a states rights believer, but also think the attack on Fort Sumter was a strategic mistake. should have made the North make the first move. I also think that the whole slavery thing was a mistake...that should have been dealt with at the time of the writing of the constitution....but had it been a sticking point we would never have revolted against England, so it was understandable that it was not addressed at that time.
I often wonder had Lincoln lived, would he have moved the freed slaves to Guyana where he had planned to move them and solved many of the problems we live with to this day...
I had an old book about the Civil War....The introduction read something like..."Portraits of Two Brothers"
It was good enough for our p-resident's ancestors.
The War was about STATES RIGHTS more than anything else, Slavery was just the vehicle.
Imagine if, instead of telling states they cannot have slaves, the were fighting to prevent the Federal Government from telling you you HAD TO buy health insurance or face a fine?
Really. Well, I guess buying and selling human beings like cattle is OK after all. Glad you cleared that up.
Huh? We always take the 3rd Monday in January off to celebrate Robert E. Lee's birthday. Doesn't everyone?
Didn't he loose a leg in battle - "Attack and Retreat"?
Your screen name is certaintly apt.
I see you are a person of rock solid virtue, one not easily swayed to change his mind.
Lee / Jackson Day bump
Im neutral when it comes to him.
I respect his professionalism, and his military brilliance, but he isn't this god like figure that was above the failings of mid 19th century political thinking.
For every amazing story about him, you get equally disappointing views on something else or some decision that leaves wonder where the heck did that come from.
Excellent post.
Gen Hampton took over the cavalry after Stuart"s death. He led the Great Beef Steak raid against the yankees during the Petersburg seige. He was a bad ass at the final surrender by Johnston to Sherman. He lost his entire fortune (was the biggest slave owner before the war), a son and brother because of the war.

There are Robert E. Lee haters on this site. They will even send you to websites that accuse Lee of the most hideous crimes. But if you are going to criticize Lee for owning his wife or father-in-law's slaves, then you are going to have to condemn George Washington as well.
Yes, Pickett changed his mind about Lee after Gettysburg. It was a terrible charge that failed. Lee took full responsibility for it but Pickett never got over it. Shades of PTSD no doubt. Lee had it at the end of his life. He heard the voices of his men calling to him when he was in bed at night. Sad.
My wife would agree with you on the second part, but my "rock solid virtue" part would give her considerable pause, or at least a rolling of the eyes.
"Form for battle!"

Thank you.
Owning other human beings is uber cool?
Thanks. I will check him out. I got him confused with John Bell Hood.
I remember reading somewhere that Moseley tried to make a successful turnover after the war and actually became an attorny and a Republican.
I don't hate him. It's just that he was literally a traitor and broke sacred oaths he took. I don't find anything about him admirable.
Totally agree. I have been to Gettysburg and stood looking across that field and thought to myself, what kind of men were these who would cross that field in the open against withering fire? It certainly was a different time and age that's for sure.
If Longstreet had made sure to commit... (if) Stewart been successful...
One more 'if':
If the cannonade that proceeded Pickett's charge had found their target, instead of missing with overhead shots that did little damage.
Can't imagine why you would name yourself that but in case you are wondering, Ditter is baby talk for sister.

Photos: Danny Garcia Busts Up, Drops Lucas Matthysse
MGM Grand, Las Vegas - WBA/WBC junior welterweight champion Danny Garcia (27-0, 16KOs) put on the best performance of his career by winning a clear twelve round unanimous decision over mandatory challenger Lucas Matthysse (34-3, 32KOs). Garcia boxed, closed Matthysse's right eye in the sixth round, and then dropped the feared Argentine puncher in the eleventh round.

Setting the Standard: A Fraud-based Approach to Antitrust Pleading in Standard Development Organization Cases
James Esten Abell III
University of Chicago - Law Review
October 22, 2008
University of Chicago Law Review, Vol. 75, No. 4, 2008
This Comment addresses the question of whether claims brought under Section 2 of the Sherman Act based on allegations of deception of a Standards Development Organization ("SDO") must meet the heightened pleading requirements of Rule 9(b). Despite the growing amount of litigation in this area, to date, no court has specifically addressed this matter. The Comment explores how courts have approached similar questions in other areas involving intellectual property law and antitrust law, such as Walker Process fraud claims. Ultimately, the Comment suggests a framework for evaluating these new claims and concludes that within the framework, SDO-based antitrust claims do meet the requirements for heightened pleading.

• Families of 338 male and 81 female shipyard workers (SYW), including 280 wives, 144 daughters, and 81 sons, were examined for diseases resulting from asbestos. The workers were initially exposed to asbestos at least 20 years prior to the study date. Radiographic signs of asbestosis (using standard criteria International Labor Office 1980) were found in 64% of 288 male SYW and 21% of 71 female SYW. After excluding those with any occupational exposure to asbestos, asbestosis prevalence was 11% in wives, 8% in sons, and 2% in daughters. Asbestos disease prevalence in workers and in wives increased with the number of years from initial exposure. Male SYW who had smoked had airway obstruction without volume loss. Nonsmokers had normal pulmonary functions. In SYW households prevalences of respiratory diseases, wheezing on physical examination, and symptoms of asthma and chronic bronchitis, exceeded those in the comparison (Michigan) population, even for the younger daughters and sons. These differences, and airway obstruction and distribution defects reported earlier were not explained by cigarette smoking or by asbestos exposure. Instead, they are tentatively ascribed to long-term exposure to ambient air pollution in Los Angeles.

The Pittsburgh Steelers would have clinched a playoff spot if Chicago Bears running back Marion Barber had not fumbled in overtime against the Denver Broncos setting up their game-winning field goal.
Even though it's not official, the Steelers would have to collapse to miss the playoffs, and they should be focused on winning the rest of their games.
If the Steelers win their last three games, and the Ravens lose once, the Steelers would actually win the AFC North and possibly the No. 1 seed in the AFC.
Either way, if the Steelers win this week, they clinch a spot in the playoffs.
Here are five keys to beating the 10-3 San Francisco 49ers on Monday Night Football.

Officials defend Sandy Creek H.S.
We are writing in response to an anonymous letter that was unfortunately written, submitted, and published in The Citizen labeling Sandy Creek High School as "Fayette's Inner City School."
Our response is intended to clarify the facts surrounding Sandy Creek and to stand up for those who have worked hard in the past and continue work hard to make this great school what it is today.
The author of this letter obviously had the right to state his/her opinion. However, an opinion can be misconstrued as fact and the contents of this particular letter describe isolated incidents that occur at almost all high schools — not a tolerated pattern at Sandy Creek.
Further, when distributed anonymously, it is difficult to confirm the validity and legitimacy of the events described.
Anyone who has a finger on the pulse of this school will agree that excellence is expected and realized in all areas including academics, extracurricular activities, AND behavior.
We collectively stand as parents of past, present, and future students of Sandy Creek High School so we understand fully the environment we are discussing and we have a personal stake in offering our resources to see that the school continues to excel.
This past Friday night we celebrated the graduation of students who will be attending Stanford, Pepperdine, Howard, Cornell, The United States Naval Academy, Georgia Tech, Georgia, and numerous other outstanding institutions — hardly a common characteristic of an "inner city" school.
These accomplishments are results of the hard work and sacrifice of exceptional students, dedicated parents, and superior teachers — again, hardly a common characteristic of an "inner city" school.
It is undeniable that despite its financial trials the Fayette County School System continues to be ranked among the highest in achievement and reputation, and Sandy Creek High School is not an exception to the rule.
As elected leaders in our community, we are proud of the fact that we can sell Sandy Creek to potential businesses and home-buyers as we look to a future that is bright for the people of our county.
The letter in question does not accurately reflect our environment or direction and the not-so-subtle implications contained within it were, at the very least, inappropriately and improperly communicated.

Parks 1 & 2:
Project work will include design and construction of two (2) new public parks
located within the Burlingame Ranch Phase II neighborhood area. Park
features will include a half-court basketball court, shade shelter, open lawn,
storm water wetlands, paved and unpaved trails and an irrigation pump house
building. Construction is planned to commence June 2015 until completed summer 2016.
Parks and Open Space Department also has some joint projects in 2016 with other
City departments and agencies:
Avenue Improvements & Prockter Open Space Water Quality Improvements: Project work began in the fall of 2014 and is a partnership
with the Engineering Department to improve traffic speeds, pedestrian safety,
water quality and the interface between Neale Avenue, Herron Park, and Prockter
Open Space. Storm water conveyance improvements will significantly
improve the storm water quality prior to entering the Roaring Fork River
through the construction of storm water wetlands, similar in character to the
completed Jennie Adair Storm water wetlands. Design and planning efforts for
the Prockter Open Space will occur in 2015, with site construction of the open
space water quality improvements scheduled for spring/early summer 2016
following necessary permitting requirements.
City of Aspen contracted with DHM Design Corporation and JR Engineering to
provide engineering, landscape architecture, and planning services for the
Neale Avenue Improvement Project Corridor and surrounding neighborhood.
This project has utilized design services to develop pedestrian crossings,
streetscape elements, drainage improvements, and refine Herron park interface.
The following project goals steered conceptual and construction plan
Calming - Reduce vehicular speeds, while maintaining street function
Safety – Improve pedestrian safety and visibility along park and roadway
interface and at pedestrian crossing locations.
Interface – Improve and define character and function of East edge of Herron
– Integrate bicycles into the street system by extending Aspen's bicycle
Neighborhood Connections – Update
and enhance pedestrian and cyclist connections to surrounding neighborhoods and
trail systems.
Stormwater Quality – Update drainage
infrastructure, address existing drainage issues, and improve water quality
discharged into the Roaring Fork River
North Mill Complete Street
Improvements: Project work is a
partnership with the Engineering Department to construct pedestrian, bicycle
and streetscape improvements along the North Mill Street corridor. Site
work being completed at Rio Grande Park will interface directly with this
project. The first phase of the Mill Street Complete Streets improvements is
currently advertised for competitive bids. This contract is scheduled to
appear on the City Council consent agenda during the March regular session for
approval. Simultaneous scheduling of the street and park projects aims to
reduce public impact, provide economies of scale, and eliminate rework of the
Castle Creek & Hallam Street
Connectivity Study: Project work is a
partnership with the Engineering Department to improve the pedestrian
infrastructure between Cemetery Lane and 7th Street, with particular
focus on the Castle Creek Bridge and area between 7th and 8th
Aspen Bicycle and Pedestrian Master
Plan: This joint project with the Engineering Department looks
to update the 1991 Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan for the City. Staff
began this project in 2014 and will continue through 2015.
Galena Plaza Garage Roof Replacement:
This project is to begin spring 2015. For further details please contact
Jack Wheeler at the City of Aspen Capital Asset Department at 970-429-1790.

CLOVIS, N.M. - For the second time in 3 months, Clovis police officers apprehended and arrested a suspected bank robber downtown less than a half-hour after being notified, Deputy Police Chief Bill Carey said.
Gregory Bomar Donohew, 23, of Clovis was arrested at 10:11 a.m. MST Friday after he allegedly robbed Nations Bank at gunpoint and tried to hide inside the bathroom of a downtown business before fleeing on foot down an alley, Carey said.
On Aug. 24, another downtown Clovis bank - First Bank at 801 Pile St. - was robbed at gunpoint, and a suspect, Paul Scott Robinson, 43, was arrested within six minutes of the incident.
Police initially received an emergency call concerning the robbery at 9:49 a.m. Friday from the main Nations Bank branch at the corner of Main Street and Grand Avenue in downtown Clovis, Carey said.
Twenty-two minutes later, Clovis Police Detective Dan Aguilar, one of many officers involved in the pursuit, arrested Donohew in an alley several blocks from the bank.
A large wad of cash was found in Donohew's sock and a loaded, .22-caliber semiautomatic gun was found in his right front pants pocket, Aguilar said. Donohew had a large belt around his waist with a hammer stuck into it, Aguilar said.
Bank personnel told police that a man wearing a blue ski mask, a maroon, zip-up jacket and black pants entered Nations Bank on Friday morning brandishing a gun, Carey said.
The suspect allegedly approached a bank teller and demanded all the money available, Carey said.
After the teller handed the man an undisclosed amount of cash, the suspect left the bank without harming anyone and fled on foot north along Main Street, Carey said.
Clovis police officers, assisted by Curry County sheriff's deputies and New Mexico State Police, immediately began searching for the suspect, Carey said.
"We were going in many of the businesses in the downtown area along Main Street looking there, too, just in case the suspect tried to go in any of them," Carey said. "Sure enough, it turned out he was hiding in the bathroom of a local business on Main Street."
But when Clovis Police Lt. Mike Ingram went inside the business, the suspect apparently ran out the back door into an alley and headed toward Pile Street, a block away, Carey said.
At the same time that Ingram radioed to police dispatch that he started a foot pursuit of the suspect, Aguilar said he was in a police car driving nearby.
"I drove that way and turned down the alley and saw him (Donohew) running right toward me," Aguilar said. "I got out of my car, pointed my gun and told him to get down on the ground. He held his hands up and got right down on the ground. He said, 'It took you guys long enough.' "
Donohew was booked into the Curry County Adult Detention Center in lieu of $41,000 cash bond on a state felony charge of bank robbery, jail officials said.
However, because bank robberies are turned over to federal authorities, Donohew also will be charged under federal bank robbery statutes and transported to a federal facility as soon as possible for further processing, FBI Special Agent Rob Georgi said.

Good ol' Timex. Their catalog abounds with plenty of great options perfect for being almost-disposable additions to your summertime carry. That said, this Timex Waterbury that I just ran across, well, that seems like something you could definitely have along with you for the long haul.
