This will fix my cruise control and brake light problem?
And, what is the scan tool being referred to in the pdf document? Do you have a suggested or recommended model of tool?
I read the report you linked to more closely last night and it doesn't address my problem. The report describes how the power steering must be reprogrammed to deal with steering wheel centering issues (return to center or centered wheel). I don't have either of those problems. The problem I have is that the power steering quits from time to time. That is a very different problem.
But, the problem I see now is the same as the problem that prompted the replacement of the unit in the first place (at the urging of the dealership). Initially, the power steering would quit for very brief periods of time. It increased until the point that it never worked. Now, with the new unit, power steering works most of the time. Occasionally, it will quit for a fraction of a second. That is what I am trying to fix, not centering the steering wheel. It centers fine now.

Police reports: Soft-brawl, cabbie assault, nude man spotted, more ...
A Woodbury woman reported July 1 that older skateboarders at the Ojibway Park skate park were being rude and yelling at younger children there. The woman confronted the older skaters, who were described as "very confrontational." The woman was advised to call police if she sees the skaters again so "police can give them a talking-to."
An Ojibway Park Court resident reported July 1 that between 1 and 4 p.m. a man came to her came to her door asking if anyone lived there. The man left after the complainant confirmed her residency.
Police were called July 1 to Bielenberg Sports Center ball fields for a fight between two softball teams. The crowd was dispersing by the time police arrived. Officers stood by as the combatants left.
Sweet Peas Floral, 783 Radio Drive, reported July 3 for a disgruntled customer. The angry customers – an engaged couple – said they unsuccessfully tried breaking an agreement with the business to provide flowers at their wedding. The couple sought a refund, which was not immediately granted. The couple was told to leave for the day and to return later to speak with the owner.
A Green & White Taxi cab driver reported July 4 that he was assaulted by a passenger at 6940 Ashwood Road. The driver got into an argument with the passenger, a Maplewood man, who punched the driver in the head and spit on him. The driver drove off for his own safety. Police caught the suspect, who admitted to arguing with the driver, but denied the assault. He was cited for fifth-degree assault.
Security guards at Walmart, 10240 Hudson Road, reported seeing a man steal merchandise during a trip to the store's restroom. Police were called and stopped the vehicle the man entered. A search of the vehicle turned up a syringe the man said was loaded with methamphetamine. The man, who listed no permanent address, was arrested and jailed in Stillwater on suspicion of fifth-degree drug possession and two theft counts.
Police were called July 4 to CVS Pharmacy, 2150 Eagle Creek Lane, for an irate customer. The customer, a Woodbury woman, became upset after her request to fill a prescription to be picked up by her son earlier in the day was denied. The woman was trespassed from the store.
An anonymous caller reported July 4 that a Forest Boulevard resident was seen standing fully naked in front of his door performing a sexual act. The witness said she walked past the man's front door and saw him masturbating. Police went to the man's house, where he answered the door wearing only a pair of shorts. After being confronted with the report, the suspect denied pleasuring himself from behind his screen door. He claimed he was looking out his door from a rocking chair. The man was informed that lewd behavior visible to the public is illegal.
Police were called July 6 to Ojibway Park for a fight among teenagers near the volleyball fields. One of the combatants, a juvenile male, said the fight was organized through Facebook after an online fight over a girl. The male sustained a bloody mouth during the fight. He was not cited for the incident, but was given a verbal warning.
A Collingwood Lane resident reported July 6 that his wooden coffee table valued at $300 was stolen from his unlocked garage stall.
A Leyland Trail resident reported July 7 that his medication was stolen sometime over the past month. Several family members had visited the home during the time frame, but he didn't suspect them of stealing the anxiety pills.
A Boy Scout troop leader from Woodbury reported July 7 that six American flags temporarily distributed throughout the community for the Fourth of July were stolen. Loss: $120.
An officer on patrol July 7 at Walmart, 10240 Hudson Road, reported seeing an able-bodied man park and walk from a vehicle displaying a handicap placard. The man walked back out of the store with an able-bodied woman – the daughter of the man who had been issued the handicap placard. She admitted to using her father's placard because she recently had back surgery. She was issued a parking violation.

Strauss: Here's what you really need to know about the FCC rolling back consumer data rules
Consumer privacy, one of the most heavily debated issues of the 21st century, has been called to the table yet again in a very contentious way. President Donald Trump recently signed a potentially problematic internet privacy bill that repeals consumer protection laws, and if his administration does not replace these rules with guidelines that restrict internet service providers, then consumer data is at risk.
Trump's signature came shortly after the bill was approved by both the House and Senate and has caused outrage among consumer privacy advocates and the tech community. The law, which rolls back consumer privacy laws issued by the Obama administration, is a major win for internet service providers because it gives them a way to compete in the digital advertising and marketing space alongside Google and Facebook.
It also leaves internet customers susceptible to enhanced data aggregation and profiling because ISPs no longer must get consent from their customers before trading their data with third parties for marketing and advertising purposes.
This ruling sheds light on a larger implication for technology companies: The world is entering the "big-data" age in which companies with the highest quality data and analytics reign supreme over their counterparts.
The data that comes into question is referred as customer proprietary network information, or CPNI. This is the information that ISPs require to connect a customer to their internet services, such as the customer's name and location.
There is a misconception that ISPs will now have access to sensitive medical and bank records, but, in reality, ISPs will only know what websites users are going to, and not what they do once they get there. Most of that sensitive information will be protected by HTTPS encryption.
The ISPs that fought to retract the Obama-era rules claim that companies such as Google and Facebook have an unfair advantage when it comes to collecting consumer data for marketing and advertising purposes. But there's a slight problem with this claim.
Internet users can choose to use Google or Facebook's products, but they don't always have the option of using a different internet provider. Many providers have geographic monopolies which leaves consumers with the shallow choice of internet or no internet. Rep. Jim Sensenbrenner (R-Wis.) said Friday that consumers shouldn't be concerned with the law because "nobody has got to use the internet." Although it is true that consumers don't have to use the internet, they shouldn't be making that decision based on how ethically their service provider handles their potentially sensitive information.
Unlike Sensenbrenner, many Democratic legislators have expressed outrage at the new rule. Sen. Chuck Schumer (D–N.Y.), encouraged consumers to call their Congress members and tell them to vote against the repeal. Once the bill passed, he pressured Trump to veto it.
Schumer fears the new rule will cause consumers to lose their privacy on the internet because without the Obama administration's rules, ISPs will not need permission to release consumer data to advertisers.
"The lack of robust privacy policy and regulations leaves us (as individuals citizens/consumers) vulnerable to a vast amount of data collection and data merging," said Terrell Northrup, an assistant professor of international relations at Syracuse University, in an email.
For those who believe ISPs will be able to aimlessly sell consumer data without any protection for consumers, this may not be the case. There is a possibility that Ajit Pai, the new Federal Communications Commission chairman, will replace the Obama administration rules with a set of different rules that would most likely include looser regulations.
More lenient regulations would allow ISPs to operate more freely and reduce their costs, but this leniency must not come at the expense of consumer privacy. Pai is a free-market conservative, but that doesn't mean any set of rules he champions will come without protection for consumers.
Consumer data is the world's newest and most highly demanded commodity. Many companies build their business models and value propositions on their ability to somehow capitalize on consumer information. The business environment is approaching an inflection point as to what extent businesses will have the ability to use, trade and analyze information about customers.
It seems that the boundaries in this area are continuously expanding due to the rapid evolution of technology and its capabilities with data analytics. The important question is: When will they go too far?
Technology is limitless, creating a situation where its capabilities advance the need to increase data gathering. Technology also facilitates scalable customization, which requires personal information about customers.
Many people will blame ISPs for wanting to take advantage of personal data just to make more money. But no one seems to consider the fact that increased pressure from customers to produce the highest quality product or service pushes companies to develop more personalized products. The data revolution was fueled by customer demands just as much as it was by advances in technology.

Dear Readers,
I have been running since 2005, and in 22 days, ONLY 22 days!, I am running my 4th marathon. On the same place where I ran my first one, Helsinki.
You would think that I am calm and relaxed before this race, right? Not exactly...
I am kind of excited about this race now, maybe anxious would be the best word.
Looking at my journal, I realized that on the three months prior to my marathon last year, I did 9 runs longer than 10 miles; this year 10 runs so far, but the average mileage per run is smaller. With three weeks to go, I have a chance to still make two long runs.
Chance, not sure. Because of the heat these last two weeks (temps going up to 91F) and DW's vacation schedule, I have only THESE slots to use, and no other chances, I have to run WHENEVER there is a chance, not another time, no other options available. Which means I have to make long runs in any case, like I did a 16.8 miler (the longest this season) this Monday after work, leaving home under a 85F weather.
OK. Let's talk about pace…
Last year, I roughly averaged 9:55 on those miles; this year a bit under 9:30.
Question 1: Do I still need another 2x 16-20 miler?
Question 2: Am I being paranoid and could relax and "enjoy the ride"?
I can only guess right now, but the answer I will only get on August 16th, about 7:20pm. Hopefully with a big smile and a shiny new PR.
Run safe, and stay calm!

"The unions have indicated that there have been mixed reactions by their members to the chamber's proposals, and that they are unable to confirm a return to work," it said in a statement. The chamber also said the industry was unable to make any further proposals and companies in the sector, which include AngloGold Ashanti [JSE:ANG], Gold Fields [JSE:GFI] and Harmony Gold Mining Company [JSE:HAR], would explore other avenues to stabilise the industry.*Follow Fin24 on Twitter and Facebook.

What happens if you don't use a patch when shooting a rifle?

Just don't do it.
That's the best advice. There is no reason you should overlook the cheapest component of the whole operation, a small square or round piece of cloth. The patch does lots of things.
1) It keeps the ball tightly squeezed in the rifling, holding it against the powder so you don't get a dangerous situation with airspace between the powder and the ball.
2) In squeezing it against the rifling, it imparts the spin of the rifling to the ball and stabilizes the ball in flight. A ball just "rattling down the pipe" doesn't have spin on it and, well, you've seen knuckle balls pitched in baseball, right? Same thing.
3) The patch transfers the lube that hopefully you have used with it, and makes loading easier and also cleaning the bore easier after the shot.
4) It aids the patch in sealing the rifling behind the ball and transferring the "push" of the burning powder to the entire rear surface of the ball, rather than whistling around it through the rifling and airspace between ball and barrel (blow-by).
5) There is a good chance that if the powder isn't compressed with a nice tightly patched ball, it won't ignite (misfire), or only partially burn and not completely eject the ball, another problem in itself.
6) If the ball isn't patched, as mentioned, you won't have a nice tight seal, and if not fired very soon after loading, the powder might absorb moisture from the air and not ignite properly or at all.
7) The ball might just roll out of the barrel and embarrass you in front of the other guys at the range, whom will then blackball you from the club for not using a patch in the first place.
8)Just don't do it.
Have a Colt and a smile.

I am really starting to worry. I want to be prepared. A girl my DD's age who lived on the same island just died of the flu within two days of being ill. I want to be prepared! What homeopathic remedies do you have ready, or herbs or food etc?
I hear you! My mantra right now is, "A healthy immune system kicks a flu shots butt any day!" My DS is 6 months and he's not getting a flu shot. When there are waves of sickness going through my community I try to keep my boy home, we go out for walks but stay away from crowded places, I wash my hands and make everyone else wash their hands when they come home and he's not on solids yet so I'm just making sure I'm eating the highest quality diet possible for his breast milk. If my boy were eating foods, I would make sure that he was getting bone broth in every meal and consider a CLO supplement in addition to lots and lots of greens, shitake mushrooms, ginger, garlic, etc.
And this video is for whooping cough, but she does have some home made cough syrups and soups for illness. And one that might be of interest to you, a supposedly (I haven't tried it yet!) delicious garlic lemon tea. Apparently it's a great immune booster. Hope that helps some!
Remember pediatric deaths from influenza are relatively rare. I know someone struck by lightening but that doesn't increase my risk. I guess I'm saying that she's rare and it's horribly sad and I can see how it would make you feel fearful. But do keep reminding yourself that the risk is really not that great.

If it helps your fears at all, both my kids got it, and it was quite mild. My son had a stuffy nose and was slightly warm one night. My daughter had a deep chest cough, stuffy nose, and ran a fever one night. That was it.

Can I ask you how you know this was the flu? Were your children tested?
If the people let government decide what foods they eat and what medicines they take, their bodies will soon be in as sorry a state as are the souls of those who live under tyranny." Thomas Jefferson.
Nope, not tested, but they followed the similar pattern that The Hubby and I do when we get the flu.
Edited to add: Forgot to say that they both had body aches.

"He was a fighter, too …"
Tyrion Lannister wakes up hungover and filthy in the Starks' dog kennel, with his nephew Prince Joffrey Baratheon standing outside mocking him. Tyrion orders Joffrey to offer his sympathies to their hosts following Bran Stark's fall. The prince laughs at the idea, and Tyrion slaps him hard across the face ... several times. Speechless, Joffrey rushes away.
Tyrion joins his brother and sister, Ser Jaime Lannister and Queen Cersei Baratheon, for breakfast. He tells them that he plans to ride to the Wall ... and that the maester says that Bran will live. Cersei looks concerned, but Jaime seems mostly miffed, saying that he'd prefer a good clean death, rather than living as a crippled grotesque. "Speaking for the grotesques," Tyrion replies, "I'd have to disagree ... I hope the boy does wake. I'd be very interested to hear what he has to say."
Lady Catelyn Stark stands vigil over her unconscious son. The queen visits and tells the story of an infant she lost to a battle with fever. She promises to pray to the Mother for Catelyn, who unknowingly thanks the woman who's responsible for nearly killing her son.

So I have been considerind getting a larger mixer. Right now I have 4 6qt. and 1 4.5qt Kitchen Aides. While they get the job done I would really like to get a 12 or 20 qt. So I have been researching and heard good thing about Hobart ( of course) and Globe. Globe is cheaper but Hobart has more bells and whistles. I was just wondering if anyone has or used either of these?
I have a 20qt Hobart. Hobart really is the gold standard in mixers. I would advise not to bother with a 12 qt. You'll LOVE having a 20. Look for something used. The Hobarts last pretty much forever.
Thanks Leah. I'm definitely going used. Can't afford a new one.

David Sacks likes to call them "Dilbert problems."
You know, all those excess emails, unproductive meetings, and other awkward aspects of daily life in the typical office that make you wish you were anywhere else than -- in the office.
As the CEO of Soma-based Yammer, which positions itself as the "Facebook for inside the company," Sacks has a pretty good story to tell.
Since launching in September 2008, Yammer has attracted enough B2B customers that it now appears to be able to stake its claim as the social media platform of choice for the Fortune 500.
Unlike consumer social media sites, Yammer has optimized various functions like search and sort, and made it easy to add files or submit creative concepts under its "Ideas" tab that are especially useful for businesses.
Local fans include IGN, eBay, Modcloth and Stanford. But do you know what is far more cool about Yammer?
It's good after a crisis. Last year, the U.S. Department of the Interior and the U.S. Department of Fish & Wildlife Services used Yammer to facilitate communication among the various entities involved with the Deepwater Horizon oil spill cleanup efforts in the Gulf of Mexico.
More recently, after the tragic earthquake in Japan last month, that country's Nuclear Energy Institute helped coordinate its work on the damaged reactors with Yammer.
"It's good after a crisis," says Sacks, "because it rapidly brings people together via a real-time communications feed."
Think about it.
Yesterday, the Presdent of the United States visited Facebook's office in Palo Alto. The social media wave has not yet crested. So, from a corporate perspective, how can you leverage this massive trend toward sharing among your employees without compromising security?
Yammer looks to be a viable option. Meanwhile, they have doubled their workforce (to ~150) in the past half-year or so.

(Notre Dame, Ind.) After missing the past two weeks of games due to the birth of her son, head coach Aimee Niespodziany returned to the sidelines to coach the Saints as they hosted the No. 15 ranked Cardinal Stritch Wolves.
A rather lopsided history between the two schools had resulted in the Wolves taking every contest against the Saints; just not this night. This time the Saints took control from the opening tip all the way to the final horn on their way to an upset win over the No. 15 Wolves and a historic moment for coach Niespodziany and the women's basketball program.
With both teams struggling to score throughout the first three and a half minutes, the Saints were first to get it going offensively as they rallied off a 10-to-1 run over the next two minutes. At the 8:34 mark of the first half, the Saints had extended the lead to ten points and had shown no sign of giving up. They were able to build their lead to as many as 15 and ended the half with a 29-16 lead.
The Saints held the Wolves to just 6-of-19 (31.6%) from the floor and turned 12 turnovers into 10 points. After one, Megan Eve (Scottsburg, Ind.) led all scorers with 8 points on 3-of-6 shooting which included hitting 2-of-4 from three-point range.
Holy Cross opened the second half much like they started the game as they were able to keep their lead in double figures for the first six minutes.
Stritch, however, would go on to show everyone in McKenna Arena why they've been such an impressive program over the years as they clawed all the way back to cut the Saints lead to just 49-48 with 4:41 left to play.
With less than four minutes left to play, positive possessions were crucial for the Saints if they wanted to pull off the upset. After two made free-throws by Stritch cutting the Saints lead to two, Lauren Malinowski (Dearborn Heights, Mich.) knocked down a jumper that gave the Saints a two possession lead with 3:20 left in the game.
Clinging to a five point lead after a layup from forward Maggie Gondeck (Michigan City, Ind.), Stritch once again answered back with a three-pointer from Liz Neitzel, once again making it just a two point Saints lead with less than two minutes to play.
The Wolves had their chance to tie or take the lead with less than a minute to play before a costly turnover forced them to foul one the Saints best free-throw shooters, Malinowski, who in turn knocked down both shots to give Holy Cross a much need two possession lead at 60-56 with 23 seconds left.
The biggest play for the Saints, however, took place when Maggie Gondeck grabbed the rebound on a Stritch missed opportunity and knocked down both free-throws to make it 63-58 with 7 seconds left. Even though Stritch would knock down one final three-pointer to cut it to two, there only remained 0.3 seconds left. The following inbound pass sealed it for the Saints as they completed the upset over No. 15 Cardinal Stritch with a 63-61 victory.
For Holy Cross, this was not only the first time they've beaten the dominant Cardinal Stritch, but it was the first time in the history of the program that they've defeated a nationally ranked opponent.
"Tonight was so special for our team," said coach Niespodziany. "The girls have been playing great basketball over the past four games and it's amazing to see all of their hard work pay off with a win of this magnitude. I'm truly proud to be associated with my entire team. We now need to keep working hard so we can have more of these moments down the stretch."
Lauren Malinowski scored 12 of her team high 16 points in the second half including going 6-for-8 from the charity stripe in key moments.
Megan Eve finished with 14 points while knocking down 5-for-9 from the floor including going 4-for-6 from beyond the arc.
The Saints forced Stritch into 20 turnovers over the course of the game which they turned into 25 points.
Holy Cross (9-15, 5-11 CCAC) will look to continue their current two game winning streak on the road as they first head to Calumet College of St. Joseph on January 30th. The next home contest for the Saints will be on February 6th against Purdue University Calumet.

Alcohol has long been the drug of choice among U.S. college students who drink at higher rates than their non-college counterparts. Student drinking is the number one health problem on college and university campuses throughout the Nation. Alcohol contributes to a range of problems among college students, including academic problems, trauma, date rape, DUI, and vandalism.
Alcohol is associated with missed classes and poor performance on tests and projects. The number of alcoholic drinks per week is clearly related to lower GPA's. In the Core Alcohol and Drug survey of 56,000 college students, students who reported D and F grade point averages consumed an average of 11 alcoholic drinks per week, while those who earned mostly A's consumed only 3 drinks.
College students are at a higher risk for alcohol-related problems because they have high rates of heavy consumption, tend to drink more recklessly than others, are vulnerable to other risks that are exacerbated by alcohol (e.g., suicide, automobile crashes and falls), and are heavily targeted by the advertising and promotions of the alcoholic beverage industry.
Date rape is very common on today's campuses. Too often in cases of date rape, alcohol has played a major role. In men, alcohol releases their inhibitions and they tend to say and do things that they normally wouldn't say or do. They tend to be more open and forward with women which can lead to a serious situation. With women, when they are under the influence they may tend to make decisions that they wouldn't make if sober. If the two mingle throughout the night, a situation could evolve that they both will wish never happened.
One of the more serious non-felony crimes that can be committed today is driving under the influence of an intoxicant. This crime has claimed many innocent lives in the past and is socially unacceptable. When you are caught for a DUI you lose your license for a period of time, spend time in jail and pay hefty fines. This is if you're lucky and didn't wreck! If and when you find yourself in a situation where you have been drinking and need to get from one place to another, call a cab, call a friend or walk, I just isn't worth it!
Another problem that can occur as a result of alcohol consumption is vandalism. People tend to lose their common sense when they drink and sometimes their respect for other people and their property. At the time, it seems fun to destroy a window or vandalize a car, but when you wake up the next day with hefty fines and repair costs, you will soon realize that it wasn't much fun at all.

The Indiana Chapter No. 1 of the Korean War Veterans Association in 1995 erected a memorial for those who died in the war at the 40-acre Veterans National Shrine on O'Day Road.
This week I drove to the shrine to see the memorial. It's an impressive display featuring a black marble monument with a picture of a stern-faced soldier etched into it and three panels honoring local veterans, the Korean community and military nurses. At its base, a granite panel displays the seals of the armed forces branches.
The memorial honors the 51 Allen County men who died in the Korean War, along with others killed in the war, those missing in action, prisoners of war and those who survived.
The names of Allen County's dead soldiers are inscribed on 4-by-8-inch red bricks that help form the memorial's walkway.
The Veterans National Shrine also includes memorials to those who served in other wars. If you've never been, please take an easy drive about three miles west from the University of Saint Francis on Bass Road, then angle right on Yellow River Road for just over a half mile and angle right again on O'Day. You're there.

Bill Helps Minority & Women-Owned Businesses
Lynchburg, VA - Virginia spent more than $2 Billion dollars on women and minority-owned businesses in fiscal year 2012 through things like government contracts.
Now, one Virginia legislator wants to keep that momentum going, introducing a new bill in the General Assembly just this week.
Richmond Delegate Delores McQuinn's bill would beef up an existing program. It's called "SWAM," (Small, Women-Owned and Minority-Owned Businesses).
For one Lynchburg SWAM member, the current program has room for improvement.
Charles Brown's a busy man with his construction business. Brown's been a card-carrying member of SWAM more than a decade.
"I've been a part of the SWAM program probably 15 years," said Brown.
SWAM is a certification from the state. It's like a drivers license for small business owners who are either a minority like Brown or a woman. SWAM puts you on a special list. When state and local governments have work done, your business is front and center.
"It's a good opportunity for anyone who wants to get into small business. I think there's a good opportunity there," said Brown.
SWAM isn't perfect, though.
One bill looks to strengthen the program with a small tweak to the law. If minority and women-owned businesses aren't getting state contracts compared to other businesses, new language says the Governor "shall" come up with policy to correct that, instead of the Governor is "authorized and encouraged."
"I see the light bulbs go off a lot of times," said Michael Russell, business development specialist in Lynchburg, VA Dept. of Minority Business Enterprise.
Michael Russell runs SWAM in Lynchburg. He hopes more small businesses sign up in order to sell their goods.
"The small businesses have less overhead, can give better pricing in that regard, and quick turnaround because they're local," said Russell.
Brown has his own idea to fix SWAM: to make the bidding pools smaller, instead of statewide.
"If it can be simplified more, it would be better for people to get in to it," said Brown.
If you want to track the bill, it's called House Bill 2212. So far it's only been introduced. It's awaiting a vote in the General Laws Committee.

All hail high pressure. It lifted San Diego's temperatures to seasonal levels on Wednesday and will push the temperature into the low 70s on Thursday and Friday. Lindbergh Field hasn't recorded a temperature of 70 or above since Dec. 11th. The National Weather Service says inland temperatures will rise even higher, reaching the mid-70s. The warm up will be especially noticeable in places like Ramona, which had a high in the 50s on Tuesday, a high of 68 on Wednesday, and a forecast high 72 on Friday. Nice.
Forecasters say the warming trend will be caused, in part, by strong offshore winds, which will gust hard in the mountains and kicked up breezes all the way to the coast on Thursday.
Quick look:
- San Diego: 71 on Thursday, 72 on Friday and Saturday
- Oceanside: 75 on Thursday, 74 on Friday and Saturday
- Encinitas: 74 on Thursday, 72 on Friday, 73 on Saturday

Voters shoot down levy, Rose School to close
ROSEBURG, Ore. -- After voters shot down a proposed levy to try and shore up the Roseburg School District budget, a local elementary school will be closing its doors.
The levy was solidly defeated with 58% of voters against it, compared to 48% against.
The levy would have provided funding for technology upgrades, building maintenance and curriculum.
It would have also allowed the district to keep the doors open at Rose Elementary.
Now, school board chair Steve Patterson says the board plans, at this point, to go through with closing Rose.
Officials say they're disappointed in the vote, and while they don't want to close a school, the finances left them without another option. "Now we have to go on to plan B, and plan B is, that frankly, we've made so many cuts now, we cannot cut more staff and programs," said Dr. Larry Parsons.

Johannesburg - Injuries might have forced his hand in some positions, but coach Allister Coetzee believes the Stormers have the right backline mix ahead of Saturday's Super Rugby clash against the Reds.
Coetzee made seven changes to the starting XV, and among the backs, Damian de Allende shifts from inside centre to the right-wing, Jean de Villiers moves back to inside centre and Juan de Jongh will make his first start of the 2014 season at outside centre.
"If you look at the backline we have for this week you will note that it is one of the best we've had in ages in terms of physicality, with a lot of big ball-carriers lining up for this game," said Coetzee on Wednesday.
"It's been a great training with the guys at the back, and I am excited about the prospects. I reckon that we are fielding our best possible backline this week."
In other team news, Springbok Jaco Taute is back on the bench - after resting his AC (shoulder) joint for two weeks - with Kobus van Wyk, who has started on the right-wing in his place, missing out with a slight knee injury.
"Jaco is now 100 percent ready to go. I think he can bring a big impact from the bench, but Kobus took a slight bang to the knee against the Brumbies so he will sit out altogether this week," he said.
The Stormers coach said he had been impressed with the back three of Losi Sailosi Tagicabau, Gio Aplon and De Allende.
Meanwhile, Stormers captain De Villiers believes De Allende can make an impact from the wing, despite starting the last four matches in the number 12 shirt, where he has been a standout performer.
"Damian has been good at 12, but we reckon he has enough experience now and can make a strong contribution from the wing too," said De Villiers.
"I have to be honest, I am quite looking forward to playing inside centre again. Damian has done well there, but having all three of us (De Jongh, De Allende and De Villiers) on the field at the same time will significantly boost us."

Blake Shelton Surprises 'The Voice' Co-Star Adam Levine With Humor and 'Punk Rock' Attitude
Blake Shelton has a brand-new job that starts later this month: He will be a vocal coach on NBC's new music competition show, 'The Voice.' One of Shelton's co-stars is Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine, who was in for a a surprise upon meeting Shelton.
"I wasn't expecting you to be funny," Levine tells Access Hollywood. "I was expecting like a really earnest, like straight up country guy. I wasn't expecting this like, subversive punk rock man."
Many country fans have been long acquainted with Shelton's PG-13 tweets, but soon the rest of the world will know just how funny and quick-witted the 'Honey Bee' singer really is. Shelton admits, "I don't think I can incorporate the tweet behavior of my personality into this show because there is, you know, some language barriers I would say."
Referring to the "language issues" of his co-coach Levine, Shelton says, "Adam is still working on that. He'll drop a bomb." Quick to play off the soon-to-be Mr. Miranda Lambert, Levine agrees, "I'll drop some F's, some S's."
'The Voice' debuts on NBC on April 26. It will be hosted by Carson Daly and will include a judging panel made up of Shelton, Levine, Christina Aguilera and Cee Lo Green.

Fresh is the word when it comes to fish, and it doesn't take a Sherlock Holmes to deduce that the seafood shanties in Watson Island Marina, one of the first stops for local commercial fishing boats, would be an opportune place to purchase some of the very freshest. Two weathered seafood markets, Casablanca and DeArmas, stand a stone crab's throw from each other right by Biscayne Bay, just under the MacArthur Causeway at the point where it makes its bend toward Miami (or Miami Beach, depending upon the direction you're headed). Inside these shops you'll find a lineup of fishmongers with razor-sharp knives filleting fish so fast that, to paraphrase Satchel Paige, they can start to cut a grouper as you flick off the light switch and be finished before the bulb goes out. Bargains abound: grouper just $2.99 per pound, mahi-mahi $3.99, yellowtail snapper $4.99, fresh shrimp $8 to $20. (Don't hold me to these numbers -- they fluctuate from week to week.)
On weekends you can do more than just snap up snappers at market prices; both spots set up food concessions where the pristine seafood gets prepped into a number of tasty snacks. Specialties of the shack at Casablanca: a dozen oysters on the half-shell ($7); three ceviches (octopus, grouper, and conch) that come in small (really too small) plastic take-out containers ($3 apiece); and a soft, flaky-crusted homemade salmon empanada ($3). You can purchase soda and water here (or bring your own beer), but the mostly Hispanic family crowd chills out by sipping coco frío (chilled coconut) through a straw.

DeArmas offers equally small plastic containers of similarly satisfying appetizers: conch ceviche, mayo-based shrimp salad, and shelled oysters. Concerning your main course: Purchase a fish filet at DeArmas, take it to the stand outside, and have them fry it up golden brown ($3 extra); a sizable salad or pile of fried green plantains are available as sides for $2 each. This outdoor stand also runs a daily special -- on one occasion pretty decent paella with grouper, squid, teeny shrimp, mussels and peas ($10 with one side).
Casablanca and DaArmas seafood markets
Watson Island Marina, 1040 MacArthur Causeway
Casablanca is open Monday through Saturday 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Sunday 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.; 305-371-4107. DeArmas is open Tuesday through Sunday 10:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.; 305 579-0052. Food concessions open only on weekends.
The fare at these fisheries is fresh and honestly prepared, but it's the visuals that make lunching here worthwhile. Twenty tables set up under a sun-sheltering blue nylon awning offer vantage points to the Miami skyline, to whirlybirds landing and taking off from a nearby pad, and to pelicans posturing on bobbing boats -- the image of which, interposed with that of people enthusiastically filling their mouths with fish, brings to mind an Ogden Nash couplet: "A wonderful bird is the pelican/Its beak can hold more than its belly can."

The Goo Goo Dolls are coming home
It was August 1990 when I first saw the Goo Goo Dolls perform at the old Continental.
I'd started hearing about the band while I was still a student at Fredonia State College. Its album "Jed" was being played at house parties and back porch bacchanals when I first got to town. So there was a certain amount of "Let's see what the big deal is" in my attitude on my way to the club that night.
I walked in shortly after the band had taken the stage. John Rzeznik's hair was dyed red, and looked very rock 'n' roll; the group sounded like the Replacements; bassist/singer Robby Takac was a whirling dervish on stage; and based on the wonderful sloppiness of the performance and the high spirits apparent among the band members, it seemed that the guys were maybe a little drunk.
Needless to say, I liked them immediately.
Also needless to say, as the years and album sales and concert crowds would prove, I was far from alone in that assessment.
What I didn't know – what no one could have known back then – was that the band with the funny name led by a pair of guys who grew up and went to school here would come to be regarded as the biggest rock music act to ever emerge from Buffalo.
The Grammy-nominated local-band-made-good, touring this summer in support of its 10th album and stopping at Darien Lake Performing Arts Center on Saturday evening, does not bear much resemblance to the roughshod pop-punk trio of those early '90s nights. The Goos sell out arenas and regularly appear on network television shows. Billboard magazine ranked its song "Iris" No. 1 on its "Top 100 Pop Songs 1992-2012" chart, which also featured "Slide" (No. 9) and "Name" (No. 24). The band's 2005 song "Better Days" has become an anthem for everything from the Buffalo Sabres' 2007 playoff run to political campaigns. They have gone from a band that played the Continental to one that tours continents. The scruffy, affable punk-pop of the early days has evolved into sophisticated adult rock music.
And yet, the Goos remain a Buffalo institution. Takac is heavily invested in the local arts scene, through his Music is Art Foundation, his yearly Music is Art Festival, and various offshoots that include music education initiatives, camps for young musicians and instrument drives for area schools. Takac and Rzeznik also teamed to create GCR Recording Studios, a world-class recording facility located in downtown Buffalo. (Rzeznik is no longer a partner in the endeavor). GCR employs a staff of local music professionals. The bassist also runs his own indie label, Good Charamel Records, here in Buffalo. The Goos might seem more like a Los Angeles band these days, but their roots are deep in Buffalo, and as ever, their roots are showing.
When the Goos first exploded onto the national radar, anyone involved in the local music scene had to feel a bit of excitement. This was one of our own making good, after all. A sense of "If they can do it, so can we!" was in the air, and it was contagious.
This was the early 1990s, not too long after grunge took off in a major way and put Seattle on the map as a music town. The Internet was still being referred to as "an information superhighway." MTV was still playing music videos. We were waiting for the record label execs to swoop down on our city to discover the next Goo Goo Dolls.
We're still waiting.
The Goos, in fact, are one of the final success stories of an era that no longer exists. The band built a regional fan base, expanded that fan base by touring, signed a deal with indie Metal Blade Records, and sold enough albums to attract the attention of Warner Bros., Metal Blade's distributor.
Then, almost overnight, Rzeznik underwent a transformation as a songwriter. The Goos released "Superstar Carwash" in 1993, and Rzeznik found himself collaborating with his hero, Replacements frontman Paul Westerberg, on the (minor) hit "We Are the Normal." But it was the next album, "A Boy Named Goo," that booted the band into the stratosphere. "Name," the first in what would prove to be a lengthy string of Rzeznik-penned alt-rock ballad hits, made the Goos a mainstream concern. Nothing would ever be the same.
That "old school" model of music business success – band earns regional buzz, tours incessantly, signs with indie label, attracts major label attention, delivers hits songs that translate into millions of album sales – doesn't really exist any more.
For members of the Buffalo-area music scene who were working on their own careers while watching the Goos break through to the big time, there was no way of knowing that this model was about to become meaningless. So most of them toiled on, hoping that some of the Goo glitter would fall on them. Meanwhile, Napster was lurking and would forge a digital path that iTunes, Spotify and others would follow, making their hard work redundant.
People sometimes ask who will be "the next Goo Goo Dolls," the band that will emerge from our region onto the world's stage. I don't think there will be one. The music business has changed so radically in the days since the Goos broke through and the apparatus that aided in their ascent no longer exists. There will be bands and artists emerging from Buffalo and achieving a certain measure of success through constant touring, of course. But a mainstream act that sells millions of "discs"? How could this happen now? The Goos, as it turns out, sneaked through the window right before it slammed shut.
"Name's" success led to an altering of the band's image in its hometown. Some fans who watched the Goos develop from the beginning – who had attended many of these fabled Continental shows, and felt a sense of kinship with the group's scruffy alternative punk-pop – were less than pleased with the band's embrace of a more mainstream pop ethic. This led to accusations of "selling out," as if mainstream success could not be attained by a Buffalo band without an attendant sacrificing of integrity. The fact that orignal drummer George Tutuska had left the band under contentious circumstances by this point was sometimes bandied about as proof that the band had lost touch with where it came from.
If that rattled Rzeznik and Takac, platinum record sales made dissent within the fan base a little bit easier to swallow. Let's face it: Whenever a band becomes massively popular, it loses credibility with some in its fan ranks. In Buffalo, some looked down on their success. Somehow, it felt like betrayal, like your significant other ditched you, and is now engaged to a supermodel, drinking champagne and downing caviar while you swill warm PBR from the can to chase down a bag of Cool Ranch Doritos.
Of course, the facts don't really support that narrative. The band started in the garage. Gradually, it got tighter, fine-tuned its vision. Rzeznik began to carve out his own niche as a songwriter. His songs ended up being heard, and connected with a broad cross-section of the record-buying public. There is a certain amount of random chance and luck in this equation, but a lot of it comes down to hard work, a refusal to give up, and a disciplined approach to craftsmanship. Those are skills that Rzeznik and Takac learned and honed here in Buffalo.
I recently heard from a friend who lives and works in San Diego. He told me his wife loves the Goos, and that he'd taken her to see them and had been impressed. "Great songs, man," he said. "And they put on a great live show."
My friend has never been to Buffalo, but he said he got a "vibe" about our city from the band. He told me that, after the first song, Rzeznik stepped to the microphone and said "We're the Goo Goo Dolls, from Buffalo, New York." With pride in his voice.
Clearly, the Goo Goo Dolls remember those nights at the Continental, too.

Masters: No tree, no Woods for the first timeApril 6, 2014 12:08 AM
AUGUSTA, Ga. -- First the Eisenhower Tree. Now Tiger Woods.
Two staples at the Masters, iconic fixtures if you will, felled in the same year. Just like that.
The Eisenhower Tree, which gobbled tee shots to the left of the 17th fairway at the Augusta National Golf Club, was done in by a winter ice storm. Woods, who used to gobble green jackets, was done in by debilitating back pain that finally required surgery.
The patrons -- that's what they call the gallery members at the Masters -- will get over the tree. Some might make a pilgrimage to the spot to pay homage to the century-old pine that so infuriated President Dwight D. Eisenhower he campaigned to have it removed. But, when the first major of the season begins Thursday, Ike's tree will be nothing more than an afterthought.
Not true with Woods.
He will miss the Masters for the first time in 20 years, and not having him at Augusta National is like not having sand at the beach. Sure, he hasn't won a green jacket since 2005 -- a staggering drought considering he won four in a nine-year span -- but his walk to the first tee for the opening round always had the same feel of Mike Tyson entering the boxing ring.
In the eight years since his previous Masters victory, Woods has finished second twice, third once, fourth three times (including last year) and sixth once. He is more than just the focus of attention at the Masters; he is almost always a fixture on the leader board.
Still, by the time he returns from surgery -- an estimated three to four months, according to medical specialists -- Woods is looking at 2015 as probably the earliest possible opportunity to win another major championship. He will be 39 then.
This latest surgery creates even more doubt about Woods' ability to reach his ultimate goal: Catching and passing Jack Nicklaus' record of 18 major titles.
Woods is stuck on 14, has been since his Monday playoff victory against Rocco Mediate in the 2008 U.S. Open. However, that is the same amount of major titles Nicklaus had when he was 38, though it must be noted the Golden Bear won the 1978 British Open seven months after his 38th birthday.
While the mathematical odds are still on his side, Woods faces a bigger obstacle than Nicklaus ever had to endure -- seven surgeries in the past three years.
"The real irony here is that he's arguably the most fit golfer who has ever played the game, and now he's kind of at the mercy of an unfit body," said former PGA champion and Ryder Cup captain Paul Azinger, an analyst for ESPN. "Maybe not an unfit body, but a body that's breaking down."
"I think this gives him a chance to be more successful the next 10 years by having the surgery than if he wouldn't have had it," said former two-time U.S. Open champ Andy North, who was bothered by back pain in his career. "I think we will see a different Tiger Woods when he comes back this fall. He has not been right for almost a year. Hopefully, we'll get the guy back that we all think that he can be."
Curtis Strange, the last player to win back-to-back U.S. Open titles who was once ranked No. 1 in the world, said Woods' recent health issues will make it difficult for him to catch Nicklaus. He also pointed out that only two players have ever won five majors after turning 38 -- Nicklaus and Ben Hogan, who won nine in an eight-year period.
"That's the one thing that can bring any athlete down," Strange said. "It's all speculation, but the fact of the matter is, he is breaking down."
Then Strange added, "He hasn't hit the ball well, quite frankly, for six years."
With Woods out of the way, who will contend at the Masters?
Adam Scott, the defending champion who beat Angel Cabrera in a pulsating two-hole playoff, is one of the pre-tournament favorites, even though he frittered away a last-round lead at Bay Hill a couple of weeks ago. So is world No. 2 Rory McIlroy, who, like Scott, let what appeared to be a sure victory at the Honda Classic slip away on the back nine last month.
Then there is Jason Day, who already has two near-misses at Augusta National but hasn't played since his victory in the WGC-Match Play championship Feb. 23 because of a bad thumb; three-time Masters champ Phil Mickelson, who has finished in the top five nine times since 2001; and Dustin Johnson, who has one victory this season and leads the tour in scoring average (69.043) and greens in regulation.
Among the players making their first appearance at Augusta National, multiple winners Jimmy Walker and Patrick Reed are legitimate contenders, as are Jordan Spieth and Harris English.
Scott, 33, returns to defend his title, one year after prematurely thinking he won the Masters with a dramatic 18-foot birdie putt on the 72nd hole, only to watch Cabrera dampen his unbridled celebration by stuffing his approach to 2½ feet on the final hole to force a playoff.
Scott won the playoff on the second extra hole with a 12-foot birdie at No. 10, becoming the first player from Australia to win the green jacket. His reaction to his first major title -- and ending 77 years of frustration for his country -- is the lasting memory of the 2013 Masters.
"You know, it's probably slightly out of character, but maybe that was all the years of frustration and everything coming out of not having won a major at that point," Scott said during a recent conference call. "I think at those moments, you see how much it means to anyone competing out there, and that was a big one for me, obviously.
"They are the moments that you just dream about, holing a putt, and for it to actually happen, you kind of get wrapped up in it. It's maybe not the normal character [for me], but for a moment like that, I think anyone would be pretty excited."
Curiously, Day thought he might be the first from Australia to win the Masters, especially after making three consecutive birdies and heading to the 16th tee on Sunday holding a two-shot lead. But, similar to what he did at the end of the third round when he bogeyed the final two holes, Day bogeyed Nos. 16 and 17 to let Scott and Cabrera hop over his fallen hopes.
"I had always wanted to be the first Australian to win the Masters," Day said during a recent conversation. "That was a huge goal for me. But getting the second green jacket for Australia is not too bad at all."
One thing is certain: There will be no green jacket for Tiger Woods.

HEALTH bosses claim ten per cent of all people using accident and emergency departments don't need to be there.
The NHS in south Essex has called on people to think carefully before turning up at A&E with Basildon and Southend hospitals reporting increasing numbers of people each year.
Bosses warn attending A&E when it is not an emergency costs the NHS millions of pounds that could be spent on other services and care.
It also takes up doctors and nurses' valuable time.
Dr Roger Gardiner, GP and lead clinician for the NHS 111 service in south Essex, said: "A&E should only be used in genuine emergency situations to ensure our local hospitals can treat those most in need.
"NHS 111 is available for people to call when they need medical help fast, but it's not a 999 emergency."
As well as the free 111 service, available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, there are other services people should consider like pharmacies, out of hours GP services or walk in centres.
St Luke's Health Centre, in Pantile Avenue, Southend, and the Thurrock Health Centre High Street, Grays, are open seven days a week, from 8am to 8pm, including bank holidays.
Medics also urge anyone needing medical advice, an examination, or a prescription to contact thei local GP.
Dr Caroline Howard, clinical lead and consultant in emergency medicine at Southend Hospital, said: "We are aware that during winter months the number of serious and life-threatening cases will go up if temperatures fall below 12 degrees celsius.
"So what we don't need at such a busy time is people calling 999 or attending A&E when they don't really need to and they could have received more appropriate care using another more appropriate, NHS service."
Dr Robert Ghosh, clinical director of acute medicine at Basildon Hospital, added: "A&E should not be used as a service of convenience or an alternative to making an appointment to see a GP."
