Blaming less money from supes, school raises in question
- Last Updated on 07:38 AM 04/10/13
- BY Tiffany Hudson
Halifax County School Board members continue to look for ways to deal with a loss of $240,000 in local funding they had banked on when adopting their budget last month.
The approved school budget included almost a quarter of a million dollars from the board of supervisors that isn't going to happen, school board members learned last week when supervisors voted not raise real estate taxes to provide the extra $240,000 in local monies.
That decision has sent school board members back to the proverbial drawing board, so now they plan to revisit the budget including more possible personnel changes at a special called meeting set for Wednesday, April 24, at 5 p.m. in the school board conference room.
After attending last week's supervisors' meeting when board members set local funding for the school budget at $13,267,529, School Board Chairman Kimberly Farson said she felt school board members needed to hold another meeting to discuss additional personnel changes and revisions to the already approved budget.
"I feel like we need a meeting to just look at the budget since we did not receive the $240,000," said Farson.
The school board chairman said Tuesday the board would have to go back and look at everything again and see what options are available.
"We'll have to look at options in moving forward with the (school employees') raises or make decisions…the numbers change so much," said Farson.
At the March 11 school board meeting, members voted to give 2 percent raises to all school employees prior to the supervisors' finance committee meeting on March 21 when they proposed raising the real estate tax rate to add $240,000 to the school budget.
In addition to not receiving the $240,000 in extra revenue anticipated from the county, Superintendent Dr. Merle Herndon and Farson said Monday night final numbers from sequestration also are expected to impact the newly adopted budget.
Farson suggested board members send any suggestions or input to Director of Finance Jay Camp or Herndon prior to the special called meeting, so they can present that information during the meeting.
Board members will meet Wednesday, April 24, at 5 p.m. to further discuss personnel changes and the budget.

Great Blue Raider run ends in SBC Championship game
Middle Tennessee falls, 67-57, to rival WKUMarch 11, 2008 · MT Media Relations
· Cumulative Stats
· Box Score
Middle Tennessee won 10 of its last 13 to reach the title game for the second time under sixth-year Head Coach Kermit Davis but the Blue Raiders finally ran out of gas against an experienced Western Kentucky team that featured senior leadership and SBC Player of the Year Courtney Lee.
However, it was a sophomore that denied Middle Tennessee (17-15) the SBC title and its first trip to the NCAA Tournament since 1989. Forward Jeremy Evans poured in a double double with 20 points, 14 rebounds and he shot 8-of-9 from the field to earn Most Valuable Player honors.
"Evans was a major factor in the basketball game," Middle Tennessee coach Kermit Davis said. "We allowed him to have a big game inside and that made the difference. We didn't play as well as we needed to win that game. Western Kentucky made all the hustle plays and all the toughness plays. They have a talented team and I believe they will be a good representative for the Sun Belt in the NCAA Tournament."
Desmond Yates and Kevin Kanaskie were named to the SBC All-Tournament team after a strong run here in Mobile, Ala. Yates led the Blue Raiders with 16 points against the Hilltoppers (27-6) and Kanaskie added nine points and three assists. Demetrius Green tallied 12 points and eight rebounds and Theryn Hudson finished with 10 points.
A critical factor against the Blue Raiders was foul trouble against Nigel Johnson, who played just 14 minutes and did not score. He fouled out early in the second half.
"We had some key players who didn't have one of their better games and we can't have that in a game like this," Davis said. "I'm very proud of our team and the run we made. You can't fault the effort and we are excited knowing we have every player on this team coming back in addition to the players we gain. We made a lot of progress and we can carry that over. It's just a disappointing ending to what was a great finish to the season."
Middle Tennessee led throughout the first half and owned a 28-21 advantage after Yates' short jumper with 6:16 remaining in the first half, but WKU went on a 6-0 run and closed the half with a 3-pointer from Orlando Mendez-Valdez to go on top 34-31.
From there it was all downhill for the Blue Raiders as they were outscored 8-1in the first five minutes of the second half and the Hilltoppers gained a 42-32 lead. Middle Tennessee could never make sustained runs against the strong WKU defense even though the Blue Raider defense played well enough to keep the team in the game.
WKU outscored Middle Tennessee 19-9 on second-chance points but the real difference was at the charity stripe, where the Hilltoppers outscored Middle Tennessee 25-10 in a 10-point game. WKU was 25-of-29 from the line, while the Blue Raiders were 10-of-16 and did not reach the bonus until 7:07 remaining.
Despite the disappointing ending to the season, Middle Tennessee still can take some pride in its tremendous run and the fact it returns all of its players and likely will be the preseason favorite to win the SBC East Division.

MS Build – "Microsoft.WebApplication.targets" was not found.Posted by Monty on July 22nd, 2008
This is a stupid error, an oversight by Microsoft. As far as I can tell, you can ONLY install the Web Application pack for vs2005 if you have VS installed – you cant install it on a build server, which is nice and "fun".
A solution is to just create the directory structure it asks for -
C:\Program Files\MSBuild\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v8.0\WebApplications\
And copy over the files from your own copy. I don't know why Microsoft did it this way, but its criminally retarded.
Edit – You can now download the file from here.

Since Destiny's Child disbanded, Matthew has had a lot of free time and apparently he's still been working hard... with another group of young ladies. Knowles is an executive producer amd creator of a reality show that debuted internationally last fall. The MTV UK reality series, "Breaking From Above" just premiered in the U.S. on Monday. The show follows the music executive's new group named From Above. Knowles, is both the creator and executive producer, of the show. He hopes airing it in the U.S. will bring more exposure to the new group. It's gonna hard to top the careers of Beyonce, Kelly, and Michelle, collectively and individually. We don't doubt Knowles' ear for talent though. You can check out the show daily through June 29 at 8:30 PM/ET on TeenNick.

Patrick Cantlay is a 19-year-old kid from California whose sights are set on getting a degree from UCLA. This week at Congressional, he enjoyed a bit of the spotlight while finishing as the low amateur at the U.S. Open.
Sure, Cantlay (even par) got a rock star reception, but as he said, "I don't know what a rock star really feels like."
ESPN featured Cantlay in highlights this weekend, and he said his friends forced him to watch.
"I thought it was cool," Cantlay said. "It was awesome that they put me on there."
Cantlay earned it. Only three amateurs even made the cut at this tournament, and he bested recent Georgia graduate Russell Henley by four strokes.
It was a competition within the larger competition at the Open, but Cantlay admitted rooting for Henley, who he called a good friend.
Brad Benjamin, the third amateur to make the cut, finished 21-over for the tournament.

The Novi Police and Fire Departments want everyone to have a have a fun, yet safe Halloween on Wednesday, Oct. 31. Recommended trick-or-treating hours are between 6 and 8 p.m.
In addition to providing trick-or-treating safety tips, the Novi Police and Fire Departments recommend the following safety rules for Halloween decorations:
- Carve pumpkins on stable, flat surfaces with good lighting.
- Have children draw a face on the outside of the pumpkin and have parents do the cutting.
- Be sure to place lit pumpkins well away from anything that can burn and far enough out of way of trick-or-treaters, doorsteps, walkways and yards. Do not leave lit pumpkins unattended.
- It is safest to use a flashlight or battery-operated candle in a jack-o-lantern. If you use a real candle, use extreme caution. Make sure children are watched at all times when candles are lit. When lighting candles inside jack-o-lanterns, use long, fireplace style matches or a utility lighter.
- Dried flowers, cornstalks and crepe paper are highly flammable. Keep these and other decorations well away from all open flames and heat sources, including light bulbs, and heaters.
- Remember to keep exits clear of decorations, so nothing blocks escape routes.
- Tell children to stay away from open flames. Be sure they know how to stop, drop and roll if their clothing catches fire. (Have them practice, stopping immediately, dropping to the ground, covering their face with hands, and rolling over and over to put the flames out.)
—The above information was provided in a press release.

The Strongsville Fire Department is urging residents to follow these state-approved safety tips when decorating for the holidays:
State Fire Marshal Larry Flowers said three aspects of decorating -- lighting, live Christmas trees and candles -- can lead to fires.
In fact, one-third of holiday fires are electrical failures, according to the National Fire Protection Association.
For lights:
• Check for damage before putting up each strand.
• Only buy lights that are UL approved.
• Don't string too many strands together.
• Don't run extension cords under rugs.
• Never use outdoor lights indoors
• Turn all lights off when you leave or go to bed.
For trees:
• Get a fresh tree and keep it watered. Once it gets dry, throw it out.
• One in five holiday fires start because a head source is too close to a Christmas tree.
• Don't block your escape route with a tree or presents.
For candles:
• Never leave a lit candle unattended, even for a minute.
• Don't place lit candles on or near a Christmas tree.

My theory as to why we get this question so much is that this subject matter can be quite difficult to shoot. The challenges are numerous and formidable.
The word photography is derived of the Greek words meaning "writing or painting" and "light". If you take away one of these two elements (namely light), you are left with just plain old "writing".
Forget the Tripod
Tripods are simply too cumbersome and awkward in concert halls, with hoards of people milling about. As an alternative, you can use a monopod - basically a one-legged tripod - but this can still get easily bumped into by your fellow concert-goers. If you are sitting down, you can also use your elbows placed firmly on your knees as your own tripod to steady yourself.
Forget the Flash, Too
Not only will a flash most likely not be allowed (and unnecessarily distract the performers), it will probably do you no good. On-camera flashes are rarely powerful enough to reach the required distance. Taking a picture with your flash will more often than not illuminate nothing other than the back of the head of the person directly in front of you. Your camera will as well be metering for that flashed head in front of you, rather than the band members on the stage further on. With your flash turned on, your chances of getting any decent shots are greatly diminished.
Use a Fast Film Speed
And my number one tip for shooting concerts...
If You Can't Beat 'Em, Join 'Em
Half way through the concert illustrated in this article, I finally faced the fact that very few of my images were going to turn out. After all, even with my ISO set to 1600, I was still shooting at 1/15 or 1/30 of a second with a fully-extended 100-300mm zoom lens. Handheld!
The basic rule of thumb is to use a shutter speed equal to or greater than the focal length of your lens. In other words, if am I shooting at 300mm, I should be using a 1/500 of a second shutter speed. I might be able to get by with 1/250 but 1/15... come on... that just isn't right!
So I paid attention to the lights, trying to synchronize shots when the lights got brighter at times. I also had fun using my zoom lens to zoom in or out as the shutter was clicking. These kind of special effects techniques yielded my favorite image - the one at the top of this page - as well as the images below.

Need a Moving Quote?
Hi everyone, need some urgent advice here.
Me and my fiance have been living in a flat since January 2009. What we originally thought was a beautiful place has turned out to be an absolute disaster. The landlord spent the minimal amount of money fixing up the place, and we've had serious mold and water leakage problems on at least two previous occasions, including one which left over an inch of water on our floor.
Recently, we've had a massive amount of mold building up in the place, and the walls are also beginning to crust from water within the walls. I have a sensitivity to mold and asthma problems, so you can imagine how frustrating this has been for us.
A contractor recently visited the place and we were informed that the bathroom has to be completely gutted because of a piping problem that is causing the water problems.
Our landlord, who works overseas and uses a local real estate agent to do all of his work, has not recommended a plan of action, despite us emailing him asking him what he suggests we should do at this point. And his go-to real estate agent has not specified what our landlord wants us to do either.
We are fed up, and we want to leave. But we don't feel like we should have to give a formal 2-months notice in light of the situation. This is not a liveable condition, it's a health hazard, and our landlord has not suggested a plan of action (ie., setting a date for gutting the bathroom, compensating us with rent while the construction is underway).
My question is: does this constitute a breach of contract? Should we be forced to pay two more months of rent even though we are living in such terrible conditions?
Please help!!!

Posted by cookie09 (1581 days ago)
frankly if it's really terrible, just move out and stop paying rent (i.e. forfeit your deposit).
i guess you could go through a lenghty process of negotiating a solution, but i would not bother if you have health issues.
if you want to negotiate, the best you can do is lowering your rent (imho). i.e. write a letter to the landlord saying that if no action plan is in place and executed until x date, you will assume that the landlord agrees that the rent is lowered by x percent. something to that effect.
That's just so frustrating. If I want to leave early, I have to forfeit my deposit even though the landlord is 100 percent responsible for a situation that has made staying flat out dangerous? So tenants basically have no rights in Hong Kong to protect themselves against situations like this? Sigh:( FRUSTRATED!!!!
Posted by Slammy (1581 days ago)
Excuse me but the place you live in is, frankly, unliveable!
The landlord has not lived up to his part of the contract to provide a decent premises for you to rent, so I would definately classify this as a breach of contract.
I don't know the legal recourse you can take but my first move would be to ask a policeman to come around as a witness, who can possibly say that he's seen the condition of the walls etc - so at least you have an official report from that point of view.
I believe that you should be allowed to move out immediately and should be able to get your deposit back - even if this may mean approaching the Small Claims Tribunal.
Can you also contact the real estate agent who handles the place?
Also, try to find the relevant government department for advice - when they answer the phone, they can be very helpful.
Sorry I can't provide any legal advice, but I certainly agree it's a breach of contract.
even if it is a breach of contract and he goes to the small claims court to get the deposit back, i think it's not worth the hassle (except you rent is like 50k/month) and i would just move on
I think the Small Claims Tribunal is not toooo much of a hassle... I think the main problem would be trying to find the right person who can come in and say "yup, this is uninhabitable", therefore the contract is breached.
I had a friend who went to the Small Claims Tribunal - she said it was very easy and fast. BUT, the tribunal has no power. So even though they ruled in her favour, she still can't get the stupid landlord to return her deposit!!!
Posted by Loyd Grossman is Miss Venezuela (1581 days ago)
First of all, the mold is not really the problem of the landlord. Most flats in HK have mold at this time of year (it's a bit like blaming a single cockroach on the landlord). The easiest way to get rid of mold is to get some bleach and water it down in a bucket. Soak a cloth in the diluted bleach and run it over the mold. That will sort it out for a few days. As for the water leakage, can't comment. It may be the landlord's responsibilty or it could be from a flat nearby. You could always use a dehumidifier but that would push up your electricity bill. As it's a structural issue, it's not really your fault. It doesn't sound as if it is uninhabitable and I should think your chances of claiming breach of contract are slim. The cheapest way is to move and forfeit your deposit. However, there are very few mold-free properties at this time of year and rents have gone up quite a bit.
Thanks for all the feedback. Loyd, I agree with you that mold is a general problem in Hong Kong. I've been in Hong Kong for nearly five years and have had my fair share of cleaning mold during this time of year. However, the water leakage that is causing the walls to crumble is also causing excessive mold problems all inside the walls. We know this because a section of the wall that is crumbling has mold on the inside. We always have a dehumidifier, in every room of the house, running all day long, so trust me when I say that this is definitely not like blaming a cockroach on the landlord.
The contractor who the landlord sent to look at the flat confirmed that it was a pipe problem from our bathroom. So it is the landlord's responsibility to fix it. I guess the term uninhabitable means different things to everyone. For me, I suppose it comes down to the fact that when I am waking up with asthma attacks in the middle of the night because of the mold growing on the inside of the walls, it's definitely gone beyond the line of liveable!
Still waiting to hear back from the landlord on when we can move out. Fingers crossed.
I know what you mean about the walls. It's not just a simple mould problem. I also lived in a flat that the plaster started crumbling because it was so wet and of course there was the mould relating to that. It was in one room only and the landlord had to fix the roof on the outside where the water was leaking in, and then replastered and repainted the walls - then it was fine.

If the condition of the flat is as described then recourse to the Small Claims Court is recommended. However I would advise you consult a lawyer who will know how to push the matter. A letter from a lawyer often has a wonderfully stimulative effect on the other party. Keep copies of all communications you have sent. The more detail in them the better.
If it goes to court you may apply for costs to be paid by the other party.

Move out to Tung Chung.
Rents are far cheaper, and the flats are modern enough to have few mold problems.
Many here are completely blinker, and somehow in love their beloved midlevels lives. Do yourselves a favor - and open your eyes to the wider world.

All sorted! Landlord agreed to early release. Thank God! Thanks for all the advice!

Lake Guntersville Boat Parade Committee
The Lake Guntersville Boat Parade Committee (LGBPC) is now accepting registrations for boaters and vendors for the 2012 "Stars in the Harbor" festival. This alternative to the boat parade was very successful last year with boats anchored or docked in the city harbor and the public getting to see the decorations "up close and personal".
This year's "Stars in the Harbor" festival will be comprised of two components. "Winter Waterland", featuring beautifully decorated boats in the harbor with many boaters dressed as cartoon characters; and "A Christmas Carnival" with vendors, games and activities on shore for the whole family.
Participating boaters will compete for cash prizes and trophies with the public voting for the winners. Boater registration is free and boaters from out of town can receive one night free stay at one of the area's marinas.
Participating vendors will have a 10x10 space on shore. Vendor space is limited to 25 spaces and rent is free this year. Spaces are filling up fast so register early to insure a spot for the festival.
The "Stars in the Harbor" event is planned for Saturday, Dec. 8, beginning at 6 p.m. (directly after the Guntersville street parade) and lasting until 10 p.m. Deadline for submitting registration forms is Nov. 30, 2012. Registration forms are available at all marinas and boating locations in Guntersville, by calling Sharon Smith at 256-738-6423 or Jennie McBride at 256-582-3625, or by emailing the Lake Guntersville Boat Parade Committee at firstname.lastname@example.com.

History > Capital improvements
The first major capital improvement on the canal was the construction of the Madden Dam and Power Project, which was completed in 1935. This not only stemmed and controlled the flow of water moving into Gatún Lake to a rate of some 6 billion cubic metres (200 billion cubic feet) per year but also created a large reservoir, Lake Madden (now Alajuela Lake). It also increased the production of electric power in the region. The Boyd-Roosevelt Highway was then built across the isthmus, thereby adding a third means of transportation to the waterway and the railroad. In 1955 the Thatcher Ferry Bridge was built, which connected Panama City and Balboa to the west side of the canal. From 1957 to 1971 Gaillard Cut was widened from its original 90 metres (300 feet) to 150 metres; and from 1991 to 2001 it was widened again to 200 metres, permitting two vessels to pass each other in the cut.
Many of the ships built since the 1970s, notably supertankers and large naval vessels, are too large to pass through the canal. Thus, there has been much study on the feasibility of either widening the existing canal and locks or building a larger sea-level canal at another location. Proponents of the sea-level canal contend that it would be less expensive to operate and, since it would have no locks, less vulnerable to military attack than the Panama Canal. Opponents of such a project cite its enormous expense and the possibility that it could create serious environmental problems by permitting the exchange between the two oceans of long-separated plant and animal species.

Attorney: Murder suspect had stalked ex-wife before shooting brother-in-law
Before David Sanchez-Dominguez fired a fatal bullet into the chest of his brother-in-law, he had been stalking his estranged wife, who had seemingly left him for good, was granted a protection order against him and was dating someone else, according to the prosecutions opening arguments Tuesday afternoon.
Chief Deputy District Attorney Bruce Hahn said that on Nov. 13, 2009 Sanchez-Dominguez was grossly intoxicated when he walked into his wifes familys home in Wingfield Springs, and demanded to see Maria Angustias Corona. When her brother, Roberto Corona confronted him, Dominguez-Sanchez pulled out a gun.
You want to look? Shes not here, Hahn said of Coronas response regarding his sister, who was not at the home in the 6600 block of Fireburst Drive. Youre going to shoot? Right here.
Seconds after Corona pointed to his chest for emphasis, Hahn said Dominguez-Sanchez placed his 40-caliber semi-automatic pistol to his relatives chest and fired.

Iranians fear for relatives (From Times Series)

Iranians fear for relatives
3:25pm Tuesday 20th January 2004 in News By Tom Spender
Barnet-based Iranians have won the support of 220 MPs in their fight to prevent their relatives in Iraq being expelled from a resistance base back to Iran, where they face persecution.
Five thousand Iranian members of the People's Mojahedin of Iran (PMOI) - which is listed as a terrorist organisation by the US - were due to be sent back to Iran from Iraq by the end of last year, according to the Iraqi Governing Council.
The move worried Iranians in Barnet such as Azadeh Hosseini, 19, of Mill Hill, who said their relatives in the PMOI would almost certainly face imprisonment, and even torture and execution, if sent back to Iran.
The International Committee of the Red Cross has confirmed that such a move would break the Geneva Convention, which considers the PMOI members to be civilians, because they did not take part in the US-led war in Iraq.
It states that they cannot be deported against their will, particularly to a country where they may be persecuted.
Now the MPs, alongside 85 members of the House of Lords, have called for the PMOI members' safety to be guaranteed and for the PMOI to be removed from the terrorist list.
Dr Rudi Vis, MP for Finchley and Golders Green, added his support, saying he would be extremely concerned for the welfare of the PMOI members if they were sent back to Iran.
Ms Hosseini said she and other UK-based Iranians were trying to send news to their relatives via the Red Cross organisation.
"Over 300 MPs and lords are supporting us," she said.

Blue Raiders' rally comes up short against WKU
Ford goes 3-for-5 with two RBI on the dayMarch 15, 2013 · @MTAthletics

· Box Score
BOWLING GREEN, Ky. - Middle Tennessee led 4-0 in the fourth, but WKU rallied for six runs to capture the 6-5 win on Friday night at Nick Denes Field.
Shortstop Ryan Ford led the Blue Raiders with a 3-for-5 day, including two RBI, while leftfielder Trent Miller was 2-for-4 with a pair of RBI.
MT (11-7, 0-1 SBC) jumped out to a 1-0 lead in the first inning. First baseman Hank LaRue singled then scored from first when Miller drilled a two-out double to the right-center gap.
The Blue Raiders pushed three more runs across in the fourth for the 4-0 lead. Michael Adkins and Ryan Stephens singled to get things going, and Jake Ellison's bunt resulted in a single to load the bases. Robert Lawrence followed with the fourth straight single to drive in a run before Ford ripped a single to the leftfield corner to plate a couple.
The Blue Raiders forced WKU starter Tanner Perkins from the game after four in favor of Brennan Pearson (1-0). Perkins gave up four runs on 11 hits, but it was Pearson who would pick up the victory with four innings of two-hit ball.
First baseman Ryan Huck put WKU (8-9, 1-0 SBC) on the board in the fourth then gave the Hilltoppers the lead in the fifth with a pair of home runs. Huck hit a two-run shot in the fourth to left-center and went opposite field for a three-run blast in the fifth to give WKU a 5-4 lead.
MT starter Hunter Adkins (3-2) would exit after the sixth, with five runs on five hits to his credit. Joey McClung closed out the final two innings for MT, allowing one run on three hits.
WKU added an insurance run in the eighth using a trio of base-hits and a sacrifice bunt for the two-run cushion.
MT rallied for a run in the ninth after a leadoff double from Ford and sacrifice fly from Miller, but the Blue Raiders stranded the tying run at third to end the contest.
The two teams will square off in a doubleheader Saturday beginning at 1 p.m. The second game will begin 30 minutes after the conclusion of the first.
On scoring early...
"We had a lot of opportunities. I thought we established ourselves pretty good early in the game offensively. We were able to put some pressure on them and create some things. We had a bunch of opportunities, left a lot of men stranded and couldn't get the big hit when we needed it."
On getting bunt hits...
"We put ourselves in position and did what we wanted to do, but we couldn't get over the hump and break the game open. We had a chance to break the game open in those middle innings and just didn't do it."

M&A Roundup: Prime, Tenet, BIDMC Announce Deals
Prime Healthcare Services to Buy Hospitals in NJ, KS
Ontario, CA-based Prime Healthcare Services has announced two separate acquisitions of financially troubled hospitals in New Jersey and Kansas. Financial terms of the deals were not disclosed.
In Kansas, Prime has agreed to buy Providence Medical Center in Kansas City, and Saint John Hospital in Leavenworth, from SCL Health System, a faith-based, nonprofit system. Under the terms of the deal, Prime will make "significant investments" to financially stabilize the hospitals and allow them to maintain current levels of charity care.
The hospitals will maintain their current acute care and emergency department services for at least five years, invest $10 million toward capital improvements, and employment offers will be extended to "substantially all employees."
The deal calls for Prime to hire all current St. Mary's Hospital employees. Prime will invest $30 million in capital improvements over the next five years beyond routine replacements and additions. Prime will maintain a local governing board. The APA also calls for Prime to assume the existing Collective Bargaining Agreement with JNESO which represents nurses and clinical employees.

Man on a mission: eight challenges in eight months for Great Ormond Street Hospital
9:40am Thursday 18th April 2013 in News By Zoe Forsey, Senior Reporter
A father-to-be from Markyate is aiming to complete eight physical challenges before the birth of his first-born child.
Matthew Albone of Wesley Road will run marathons, climb a mountain and take on a 20 mile assault course over the next eight months.
His partner Madeleine Lister is expecting the couple's first child in October, and he hopes to complete the challenges before then.
He said: "She's happy for me to do it. She is very supportive.
"Everyone was really surprised. Most people think I'm mental but everyone has really got behind me.
"I turned 30 recently and it dawned on me that I'm not getting any younger.
"I decided that I wanted to test myself both physically and mentally to prove I'm not over the hill just yet.
"There is a possibility the baby could be coming to watch my final challenge."
The 30-year-old, who works as a personal trainer, is taking on the challenge to raise cash for Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH), which treated his niece Remee after she was born.
During treatment for bronchilitus at Luton and Dunstable hospital doctors found that Remee, who is now two years old, had a rotated heart and murmur.
She was transferred to GOSH where she received treatment and has since made a full recovery.
Mr Albone said: "She has flourished into a happy, healthy two-year-old but wouldn't have done so without the expert help and care that she received from the staff at this truly wonderful hospital.
"My sister says that the treatment was first class so I thought it would be a good charity to raise money for.
"They do fantastic work."
Mr Albone completed his first challenge, the Flitwick 10k, on Sunday, April 14.
The next is a 20 mile assault course involving 200 different obstacles.
He will then take on two more 10k runs and the St Albans Half Marathon.
He will also take part in Man vs Mountatin, a marathon up and down Mount Snowdon, and Coast to Coast, a 105 mile run, cycle and kayak across Scotland.
He said: "I've quite nervous.
"Coast to Coast is the one I'm most worried about.
"I'm genuinely feeling that maybe I might struggle to do it. I think it is going to be really tough."

Managing International Pay Practices
The competitiveness of your overseas operations requires sound international human resource practices, with international payroll forming an interesting – if often idiosyncratic – part of that effort.
Japan: Worker Dispatch Act Passes
In October 2012, long-awaited amendments to the Worker Dispatch Act approved by the Diet in March will go into force in Japan, tightening the regulation of both labor hire agencies and the host employers that use labor hire workers. While these PEO-like agencies are allowed in Japan, their use is intended only to support increased workloads, not as a substitute for direct hiring of permanent employees.
Beyond At-Will: International Employment Best Practices
Did you know that the U.S. is the only nation worldwide that subscribes to the idea of "at-will" employment? Globally, the employer-employee relationship is much more strictly regulated: required employee contracts, powerful labor unions and extensive statutory benefits are just some of the hurdles U.S. companies will face when hiring overseas.
Why Everyone Wants to Work in France (But No One Wants to Hire There)
The Eiffel Tower and other tourist highlights aren't the only things France is well known for—those who've done business in the country or are planning international expansion are likely also familiar with its reputation for strict employment law. Some of basic tenets of French employment law, like five weeks mandatory vacation and a 35-hour maximum work week, are unheard of to U.S.-based employees.
What about French employment law makes employees cheer and employers groan? Learn some of the key benefits provided to employees in France.

U.S. vs. U.K. Employment Law: What's the Difference?
The old saying goes that the United Kingdom and the United States are just "two countries separated by a common language." But it's more than the use of the letter "u" in labo(u)r that distinguishes these two nations.
Similar to the rest of the European Union, U.K. employment law is designed to protect employees, and is very different than those that exist in the U.S. When first considering international expansion to the U.K., here are some of the employment differences that businesses need to keep in mind.

From Europe to the U.S., Monsanto has really been working hard to stay in the news lately. With that said, the contexts could not be more different. The EU has been actively fighting genetically modified crops, and two weeks ago a French court found Monsanto guilty for its products' role in the chemical poisoning of a farmer. In the United States, on the other hand, Monsanto is unsurprisingly coming out on top. This week a federal judge dismissed OSGATA et al vs. Monsanto, effectively ruling in favor of the corporation.
The lawsuit, filed by the Public Patent Foundation (PUBPAT) on behalf of the Organic Seed Growers and Trade Association and over 80 other organizations, was drawn up in an effort to curb the corporation's own enthusiasm for suing farmers who are found to be growing Monsanto-patented crops without paying royalties. The plaintiffs in OSGATA et al vs. Monsanto sought to protect organic farmers from being sued by Monsanto in the event that their fields are unintentionally cross-pollinated with genetic material from neighboring farms growing Monsanto crops.
- Ice Cream as Addictive as Drugs Says Researchers
- Lightning Round: Lin-Sanity and Astronaut Food
- What's the Deal with Organic Certification?
According to Reuters, the corporation has nearly 150 such lawsuits on record – nonetheless, presiding Federal District Judge Naomi Buchwald not only dismissed the case on the grounds that Monsanto has not yet sued any of the plaintiffs, but also chastised said plaintiffs for their "transparent effort to create a controversy where none exists." Monsanto expressed satisfaction at the ruling:
"This decision is a win for all farmers as it underscores that agricultural practices such as ag biotechnology, organic and conventional systems do and will continue to effectively coexist in the agricultural marketplace," said Monsanto general counsel David Snively.
"This ruling tore down a historic myth, which is commonly perpetuated against our business by these plaintiffs and other parties through the internet, noting that not only were such claims unsubstantiated but, more importantly, they were unjustified."
OGSATA and its contemporaries, on the other hand, are not as pleased with the verdict:
"Her decision to deny farmers the right to seek legal protection from one of the world's foremost patent bullies is gravely disappointing," said [lead attorney for the plaintiffs Daniel] Ravicher. "Her belief that farmers are acting unreasonable when they stop growing certain crops to avoid being sued by Monsanto for patent infringement should their crops become contaminated maligns the intelligence and integrity of those farmers."
But even though judgment has been passed, organic farmers aren't taking it lying down. The Los Angeles Times reports that OGSATA President Jim Gerritsen already has plans to fight the verdict through an appeal, and has secured the support of more than 80 other organizations in the endeavor. "The situation that brought us to court is still there," he told reporters. "Farmers need the protection of the court." Only time will tell if a different judge will feel the same.

We released all the spectra taken for this study, which you can find here.
It's well known that the frequency of Giant (~Jupiter-sized) planets is correlated to the metallicity of the host star. However, it's a bit less clear what role metallicity has on the smaller planets. Recent studies indicate that Neptune-sized and smaller planets can form around Sun-like stars for a range of metallicities (about -0.5<[Fe/H]<+0.4).
However, there are reasons to think this might not be the case for late K and M dwarfs. These stars have lower masses, and therefore like have lower-mass disks. This is the reason that late-type dwarfs have fewer giant planets than their Sun-like counterparts (independent of metallicity). Thus one could argue that Neptune-sized planets around small stars are the equivalent of giant planets around. This argument suggests that Neptune-sized planets around small stars will show a similar planet-metallicity correlation as giant planets around Sun-like stars.
In this paper, we measure the metallicity of late-type Kepler planet hosts using previously developed spectroscopic techniques (see below). We also observe well as a control sample of Kepler target stars with no detected planets in order to establish the overall metallicity of the late-type Kepler target population. Many of the stars without detected planets probably have planets, but aren't detected because they are not transiting or are too small to measure their transit. So this sample has some 'dilution' that must be taken into account. In fact, probably all or almost all of the stars have small (terrestrial-sized) planets. This is unlikely to be the case for the Neptune-sized planets that are more rare around M dwarfs, so it's possible to account for the dilution.
The Figure to the right shows the distribution of metallicities of late-type stars with no detected planet (control, black), terrestrial-sized planets (dashed pink-grey), Neptune-sized planets (blue), and giant planets (red). The median of each sample is marked with an arrow on top. There are only 3 giant planets (and 1 might be a false positive), but they are noticeably more metal-rich than the rest of the sample. Interestingly, however, the Neptune host sample is indistinguishable from the control sample.
This suggests that planet formation must be very efficient at building Neptune-sized objects, since these objects should be difficult to build around these small stars with the limited disk material available. It also suggests that planets might be far more common than originally thought, since these planets are able to form around even metal-poor stars (e.g., thick disk stars), where we previously thought such planets would be less common.
Check out the full paper for a lot more information on our findings.
Decades of studying the Sun enabled us to determine the metallicity of stars similar to the Sun (late F, G, and early K dwarfs) with relative ease. This is not the case for M dwarfs, where the line lists are incomplete, and the formation of complex molecules creates line confusion. In this paper we use a clever trick to get around this: wide binaries. Since wide binaries likely formed from the same molecular cloud, we can assume they have the same age and metallicity. In the case of a F, G, or K dwarf primary and an M dwarf companion we can measure the metallicity of the companion M dwarf using the primary star. With this information we can develop empirical methods to measure M dwarf metallicities.
This technique has been used before, but one novel thing we do in this paper is to actually analyze what parts of M dwarf spectra change (and by how much) as metallicity changes.
The Figure to the right shows a sample M dwarf spectrum (optical and NIR) on top. Below is the correlation between a given feature (or line) strength and the metallicity of the star.
This information can then be used to generate improved line lists and help decide what are the 'best' metallicity indicators in spectra.

When galaxy clusters (collections of thousands of galaxies) collide, the stars, the gas, and the dark matter behave differently, enabling them to be studied separately. Intracluster gas from one cluster collides with gas from the other cluster, and is slowed down as a result. On the other hand, individual galaxies are like small compared to the megaparsec size of the interaction, and thus galaxies rarely collide with each other. Thus galaxies move more smoothly, slowed a little by gravity, but otherwise unimpaired. You can see a cartoon of this here.
So what happens with the dark matter? A good question. It turns out we can study the gas, galaxies, and total mass of the system separately. Galaxies are most easily detected in visible light, the hot gas can be traced by measuring the X-ray flux, and mass distribution of the galaxy cluster can be mapped using weak or strong gravitational lensing. If dark matter did not exist, then the the overall mass of the cluster should be well aligned with the gas (since there is more mass in the gas than in the galaxies). If dark matter does exist, and does not interact with itself (i.e., is not slowed significantly during the collision), then the mass will be better aligned with the galaxies. A textbook case is the Bullet Cluster, which shows an 8-sigma separation between the X-ray (gas) distribution and the lensing (mass) distribution, providing some of the strongest evidence to date for the existence of dark matter.
Of course, now we want to go deeper than that. With merging galaxy clusters like the Bullet Cluster we can set limits on the self-interaction cross section of dark matter. If dark matter does not self-interact then it will be perfectly aligned with the galaxies, but if it's between the galaxy distribution and the gas distribution, it must have some non-zero self-interaction. This can also tell us a great deal about the nature of dark matter; some proposed dark matter theories predict that the dark matter particle will have a large self-interaction cross section, others predict a cross section of ~0.
In this paper we went looking for Bullet Cluster analogs. High-mass clusters provide better constraints, so we focused on galaxy clusters in the Massive Cluster Survey (MACS). We used available X-ray data from Chandra and optical data from SDSS, DSS, or the UH2.2m to produce color optical images with overlaid X-ray contours. Those with significantly misaligned X-ray and optical data are probably disturbed systems/mergers, and are potentially good systems for week lensing studies. See some examples below.
As a nice bonus, since our sample covers a wide range of redshifts (0.15 < z < 0.7) we can study how the fraction of disturbed systems changes with time. As expected from cosmological models, we see a significant increase in the number of merging/disturbed systems with increasing redshift. In fact, >80% of the galaxy clusters at z>0.5 show some sign of a recent or ongoing merger!

The majority of the first 300-400 detected exoplanets are gas giants, with masses similar to, or greater than that of Saturn or Jupiter (gas giants). This, combined with the fact that our solar system contains 2 such objects, means that most work on planet formation has focused on systems containing gas giants.
However, the preponderance of evidence from doppler, transit, microlensing, and direct imaging surveys suggests that a substantial fraction (if not most) planetary systems have no giant planets. Instead, such planetary systems contain Neptune-mass and smaller objects. Less of these systems lacking giant planets are known, because smaller (less massive) planets are much more difficult to detect.
For this paper we investigated this 'invisible majority' of planetary systems, where the disk is able to form massive protoplanets (~1-5MEarth) near the ice line (where water condenses and the surface density of solids is substantially elevated), but is unable to form massive enough cores to form giant planets (M>10MEarth) prior to the dissipation of the gas. We run 230 simulations of such systems to investigate the evolution and final configuration of these protoplanets as a function of a variety of initial conditions (e.g., total mass in protoplanets, mass and position of protoplanets, position of the ice line, etc.).
The Figure to the left shows the final configuration of all simulations as a function of semi-major axis and mass (normalized by the ice line mass and position). Interestingly, independent of initial conditions, each simulation forms a 5-8 Earth-mass planet, which migrates inward to 0.3-0.5 times the distance to the ice line (the ice line is typically at ~ 3-5AU for a Sun-like star). IMPs are seen as an almost vertical line in the Figure to the left (the line is slanted somewhat because higher mass planets do not migrate as far). We nickname this planet the innermost migratory planet (IMP). Further, the inward migration of the IMP almost always accretes, scatters, or otherwise destroys any Earth-like planets we place in the inner solar systems. If it turns out that the IMP is too massive or too cold to be habitable, than this suggests that such systems will rarely have planets which fit into the traditional definition of habitability. However, given that IMPs have large quantities of water (since they formed right at the ice line), it then follows that IMP-like planets (or moons of IMP-like planets) may be the most numerous habitable planets in the universe.
Most of these objects are too small and/or have orbital periods too large to detect with existing groud-based Doppler spectroscopy. Many are currently detectible by gravitational microlensing. In fact, such objects may have already been found (e.g., this one and this one). Many of the IMPs are just barely detectable by the Kepler spacecraft. Unfortunately, because IMPS have relatively very long orbital periods (~years), such objects will only be found at the tail end of the Kepler mission. We expect that Kepler will detect >100 of these objects with two or more transits by the end of the mission. Since Kepler traditionally requires 3+ transits to be considered a real detection, many will require followup to confirm their planetary nature. Stay tuned!

Even though and , when the nearby teams renewed their rivalry Friday night, Fox Lane Head Coach Steve Quinn knew what to expect from his opponent's offense.
Quinn's Foxes were able to shut down the Quaker offense Friday night en route to a 28-3 victory at Fox Lane.
"We spent a lot of time preparing for their bread and butter plays, which they tend to run and run well," Quinn said. "That's why we played so well defensively is because we're very familiar with they were going to do."
The Quakers (0-2) only reached the red zone twice, one resulting in a field goal and the other time resulting in a interception by Fox Lane's Pat Foote in the end zone on a third-and-goal pass from the seven-yard line that was tipped up for grabs.
"We couldn't sustain a drive tonight," said Horace Greeley Head Coach Tim Sullivan.
But the interception didn't lead to any points. Instead, the Foxes (1-1) really separated themselves from Greeley on special teams. After Joseph Nickerson ran in a touchdown to give Fox Lane a lead, the Foxes scored a safety on the ensuing kickoff when Ori Herstik dropped the kickoff and bobbled the ball around a bit. He picked it up in the end zone eventually, where he was met by a group of Fox Lane defenders, including Adan Barrientos and Nicolas Stroud-Marbury.
With less than a minute to go in the first half, with Fox Lane leading 9-3, the Foxes blocked a punt and got the ball back on the Greeley 33, with 33 seconds to go in the half. The Foxes couldn't score before the half.
In the second half, the Foxes scored two more turnovers on special teams, both leading to touchdowns.
"It started with the safety and then we had a couple of fumble recoveries on punt returns for them. They were huge," Quinn said. They really swung the tide because they started to move the ball in the second half and really would have closed the score down at that point. It absolutely was big."
Both fumbles were recovered by Alec Sessa.
"Alec's motor's always running. He was outstanding today," Quinn said. "I told him, I said, 'That's a rarity for a guy to recover two in one game,' and it's because of his effort."
The first fumbled punt lead to a 57-yard touchdown run by Chris Manjuck. The second fumbled punt led to a 22-yard touchdown run by Chris Johnson, his second score of the game.
"If you're dropping the ball on special teams then you can't win ball games," Sullivan said.
"We didn't have this much trouble last week, so I think it's lack of discipline and we have a lot of inexperience out there, so that could have something to do with it."
Johnson's first score came earlier in the second half, when he ran one in from 28 yards out. Johnson said he thinks the team felt a little more at ease in the second week of the season after dropping the opener to Panas last week.
"It's just confidence. Last week was the first game, so I think we felt a little nervous," he said. "So I think this week was just more relaxed and we felt more comfortable."
All four of Fox Lane's scores came on the ground.
"We're a run-heavy team. They run a different defensive front than what we had seen and prepared for throughout our scrimmages and training camp and everything else," Quinn said. "So it really was to see how we were going to adjust our blocking schemes for a different front this week and the o-line did a really nice job. The quarterback made some great reads."
The Fox Lane coach added he was happy to play Greeley again. The teams didn't play for three years because of class realignment.
"I think it's great, it's a natural rivalry," he said. "I get frustrated when there's changes in alignment every single year and it prevents us from doing that. With them being right down the road, we should be playing every year regardless of what classes we're in."
Fox Lane Beats Greeley, 28-3, in Football
Foxes defeat rival Quakers in the teams' first game in three years.
Even though and , when the nearby teams renewed their rivalry Friday night, Fox Lane Head Coach Steve Quinn knew what to expect from his opponent's offense.

A teacher for me should first and fore most love and show interest in his subject , everything else can be secondary. If a person is genuinely interested in something he will never do anything half heartedly and the students will also be able to learn what the subject is actually about instead of the rote learning that takes place in schools and colleges.

If I really wanted to name what I consider best in a teacher... well, they should be good people. Also, comprehend the subject they are imparting their knowledge in, and know of decent methods to do so. Pity, that the efforts of good teachers like that get wasted on morons too often.

My favorite:
You can tell if a teacher is good or not depending on his or her class. I've had 2 types of teachers I liked. One was humorous and eccentric while the other was humorous and strict.
A good teacher in my opinion will allow his or her students to have fun while teaching them. Notice I underlined teaching. Well one of my teachers was eccentric and funny, but he also knew how to teach. That sealed the deal, so everyday, class was fun and we finished our work. The other teacher I had was both funny and strict, and even though he was very, very strict on his rules, he still made teaching fun. In a sense, class was all about him. He made the jokes, and he taught the class and as bad as that sounds, we laughed. He was funny, and he did his job. It all comes down to a teacher who has a good personality and can teach.

William "Bill" Cody Latte, a native of Utica, N.Y., lost his long-standing battle with heart disease and end stage renal failure May 15, 2013, at age 81.
He was employed by General Electric in that city, both before and following graduation from State University. In 1963, he took a position with E-Systems (now L-3) located in Greenville.
Mr. Latte was also a Korean War veteran having honorably served as a radar and electronic instructor in the US Army in many strategic locations in the Far East.
More recently, and while at E-Systems, Mr. Latte was internationally recognized as a leading authority in the covert reconnaissance field, specializing in electromagnet compatibility design and qualification testing. He was also highly regarded as an encryption and stealth expert and held the highest government and military security clearances of his time.
Some programs in which he was decisively involved included "Polaris" (Missile Submarine), "The Pueblo Project," "Lisa Ann," "Gun Ship" (Helicopter and C-130 Series), "Big Safari" (Reconnaissance fleet), "AWACS," "Looking Glass," "Cobra Ball," "Nighthawk," as well as, "The nautilus" (submarine), "Apollo (Space Program), and the Presidential Aircraft fleet know as "Air Force One."
