Your first hour with any tutor is always 100% refundable!
I am a history buff with a Liberal Arts degree from the Evergreen State College, which I obtained after receiving my Associate of Arts degree in General Studies from South Puget Sound Community College. I am also very capable with lower level mathematics such as algebra and geometry. Currently, I work as a processor for a company in downtown Olympia while I pursue teaching certification for History. I love to share my knowledge and passions with people. Computers and music are my hobbies and I could also give remedial instruction in a variety of computing software, music theory and guitar. I believe that if a subject is taught in a fun and exciting manner, the student can't help but learn. I am available Monday through Friday, 5 PM to 9 PM and Saturday from 11 AM to 9 PM.

Arrowhead Mills Crunchy Organic Peanut Butter -- 16 oz Each / Pack of 2
This product was a disappointment
I thought this would be a good buy for organic peanut butter, but I was very disappointed in the taste and texture. It had very little flavor, which I have never encountered in any peanut butter I have eaten in the past and was not very crunchy.
April 20, 2013
a little strange
I usually buy this peanut butter at a health food store - it's about the best pb around, I think. This one is the same brand, but it's very pale by comparison with the store-bought, as if the peanuts aren't roasted as long, and it's also very runny by comparison, like it has extra oil and less pb. The taste is fine - I prefer it unsalted, don't think it needs salt. And thought it seems thin, it firms up well in the fridge, it's easy to mix because it's so runny, and it doesn't dry out by the time I get to the bottom of the jar like store-bought Arrowhead pb often does. It's also a better price even with shipping, and I don't have to drive through LA traffic and look for parking.
April 13, 2013
Too pale, not enough roasting
This peanut butter is ground from peanuts that haven't been roasted enough to bring out their full flavor, so it is bland. In order to eat in, i had to roast the peanut butter in a cast iron frying pan until it turned nutty brown and smelled delicious. Too much work, though. I want a nut butter that is already roasted.
January 25, 2013
Peanut butter simplicity & richness all in one!
I like my peanut butter to be simple yet peanutty Intense, all the rich flavor & none of the bothersome less than healthy additions.
Arrowhead brings an honest crunch of Peanut integrity nestled in a friendly buttery smoothness that is mighty tasty & satisfying!
It's now part of my frugal budget & taking up a proud position in my pantry,
I like stocking up with a few at a time, saves on postage,& lets me know I've got enough to INDULGE in for a while!

Great Product
This is by far the best peanut butter on the market!! Can you believe a peanut butter with no sodium?? If you love peanut butter but don't want to sacrifice your health, try this. My wife loves it as well. We have both the creamy and crunchy!! It is a great product that is incredibly difficult to find in stores.

(Nearly) full tickless operation in 3.10
My desktop does suspend/hibernate, for example, so I can leave my machine powered off over night while still having my full session restored when I start it up in the morning.
For big power-hungry workstations, power saving is even more critical. The power consumed by workstations and servers is one of the biggest (if not the biggest) expensive a large ISP/IT Department has to deal with.
Notes from the Montreal Linux Power Management Mini-Summit
Posted Aug 3, 2009 22:13 UTC (Mon) by drag (subscriber, #31333) [Link]
Remember that typically with mainframe applications they charge money based on MIPS cycles. So that the more processor you have the more everything costs. So in a efficiently running mainframe environment with proper setup and accounting you should be running at about 100% cpu 24/7 in order to get the best value.
They are not like PCs were you have the user or I/O as a bottleneck and the CPU spends most of it's time idle... Mainframes tend to have massive amount of I/O and relatively little CPU.
I would still like to have suspend-to-disk capabilities in a mainframe environment however. For various hardware issues and whatnot you do need to plan for downtime occasionally. By being able to suspend the Linux systems to disk then that reduces the downtime. Instead of needlessly wasting CPU time booting up and initializing the system you just load up the memory snapshot, which should be almost always much faster in a system like that.

OT: Biggest expense
Posted Aug 4, 2009 14:21 UTC (Tue) by man_ls (subscriber, #15091) [Link]
Posted Aug 4, 2009 20:41 UTC (Tue) by dlang (✭ supporter ✭, #313) [Link]
people servers power
even allowing for 2x power consumption (to cover cooling, etc) servers on a 3 or so year replacement cycle would still cost more than the power they consume over that time (assuming max power draw the entire time)
power is a significant cost, and since it shows up as a single line item it jumps out at people, but it's still not as bad as people are making it out to be.
Posted Aug 4, 2009 22:09 UTC (Tue) by man_ls (subscriber, #15091) [Link]
Similarly, if each server costs 3k$, the breaking point is with a lifecycle of just ~3 years. I would say that either machines cost more or use less juice, so servers should be above power too.
Posted Aug 4, 2009 22:30 UTC (Tue) by dlang (✭ supporter ✭, #313) [Link]
if you have any serious uses you have at least two people (probably 3) so that you have someone available all the time (with vacations, sick time, etc). a _lot_ of places which meet this criteria have fewer than the 220-330 servers that would be needed to maintain that ratio.
this ratio is also very dependent on how many different variations of server configurations that you have. google gets such phenomenal numbers of servers per admin by the fact that they have _lots_ of any one configuration. if they only had a couple thousand servers per configuration they would need far more admins than they do ;-) they also don't have their admins deal with failures, they just shut down the failed systems.
In many ways I would rather have another 50 servers to manage that fit in one of my existing baselines than to add 1 special exception box that is completely different.
Posted Aug 13, 2009 1:41 UTC (Thu) by deleteme (guest, #49633) [Link]
One baseline is good but not acheivable.

Marini says the Myrtle Beach proposal is selling of shows or performing FRP shows at a venue there. No Playhouse money would be at stake. It would make money, he said. He cannot believe, he says, the level of vitriol and does not know why Young is "so angry." He says Young's comments are based on incomplete information. For instance, Young said Marini's salary went up from $44,000 to $104,000. The $44,000 was from 2009, when Marini was employed only four months.
Meeting will be at 1 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 8, to accommodate innkeepers.
Thompson: "One thing that concerned me about this bill … was our desire wound up being totally different in the final analysis." That is, the board did not tie the increase directly to the Playhouse.
Board now trying to set a date for the forum for the Playhouse, which now includes motel owners. Wednesday, Aug. 8, "as a forum for anyone that wants to ask questions."
Young fires back at Edney over Edney's comments about Young and the parts department at General Motors, suggesting Edney should talk instead about losing his law license. This is the most personally hostile county commission meeting since O'Connor vs. Ervin Bazzle over school funding.
Charlie Messer expresses concern about the tax, says there is a whole lot of concern, and he came into the meeting ready to oppose the tax.
"This is probably the hottest issue I've had to deal with for the last 12 years," he said.
That could be a third vote against the tax. Thompson is uncommitted.
Commissioner Mike Edney is defending the Playhouse.
As for North Myrtle Beach, he said, "My understanding is that would be a money-making thing for the Playhouse," he said. "It has nothing to do with what we're talking about."
"I think this whole thing is a lot bigger than the Playhouse," Edney said.
The board has supported industry and farming but needs to look at the Playhouse and tourism. "We don't need to be attacking the Playhouse and nitpicking their (IRS form) 990 when we don't do that to all the other non-profits we give money to do," he said, calling Young's accusations "improper."
Chairman Tommy Thompson is for the delay and Larry Young is strongly against it. "They're going to take our occupancy tax money and take it to North Myrtle Beach?" Young said.
Young wants to take a vote now. O'Connor says he is for the forum, and willing to delay the vote.
Thompson said he wants to hold a forum at which the "the Playhouse and its management, its tax people, chairman of the board" would attend, "and let's hash all this out and let's air all this information." He said he does not "not willing to say yea or nay on changing the occupancy tax at this time."
"The Playhouse likewise needs to be able to answer those questions" raised by Young.
The board adopted the Henderson Tourism Development Authority (not Henderson County, under the enabling legislation), and now is on the tax. County Attorney Russ Burrell is explaining the tax and how it would work. Playhouse has to report on how it uses the money.
The board appointed five members to the new county ABC board. The nominating commissioners and nominees are: Bill O'Connor, Beau Waddell, Laurel Park; Mike Edney, Patricia Ferguson Jones, Hendersonville; Charlie Messer, George Erwin, Fletcher; Tommy Thompson, Rick Holbert; Larry Young, Rick Livingston, Mills River.
The board appointed Waddell chairman, provided he accepts.
County commissioners are now on other matters, including ABC board appointments, and won't get to occupancy tax discussion for a little while.
Thirteen speakers spoke, with little drama. Steve Carlisle, a former actor who has turned into one of the most vociferous critics of the Playhouse, ripped its current operations and management. It raised ticket prices and started a second theater during a recession, and is considering, he said, starting a theater in North Myrtle Beach.
Playhouse director Vincent Marini said he would "not honor" Carlisle's remarks with a response because Carlisle had been spreading misinformation for three years.

Niecy Nash & Hubby Jay Celebrate 1 Year Anniversary With Brandy, Mo & Kita, Angela Bassett, Shaniece & More
Actress Niecy Nash has lots to celebrate! Not only does the fab & funny chick have her own reality show and is she the new star of the upcoming TV Land sitcom "The Soul Man," but she recently celebrated her 1 year anniversary with her hubby Jay.
We've got the pics from their celebrity studded anniversary party inside...
At Jay & Niecy's L.A. home, the couples' celebrity friends Brandy, Angela Bassett, bridesmaids Mo & Kita, Simone Smith (LL Cool J's wife), her friend Dina and Shaniece and more were on hand to party with the semi-newlyweds last Sunday.
Niecy told The YBF, "This party was better than my wedding reception! Love was in the air...." Sweet!
Angela & actor hubby Courtney B. Vance were there to congratulate the couple.
Jenifer Lewis put on her dancing shoes too.
The couple and their guests danced it up all night. Plus, Shaniece and Frenchie Davis sang a few love songs for the twosome.
Brandy looked fantabulous and was there with her man Ryan Press.
Niecy and her man had another huge cake and took in the songs from their friends.
Laila Ali & Lisa Leslie were there looking good.
Hey Flex! Couples galore. Cute!
By the way, Brandy also stopped by Cedric The Entertainer & Niecy's "The Soul Man" set recently to offer up support. Loves it.

Team Mangalorean - Putturfrom Vishal Nekkilady
Puttur: Dr Dinesh Amin (56), hailing from Kuttar on the outskirts of Mangalore, died of drowning in the Gundya river in the taluk on Sunday, May 27.
Dr Amin, who ran clinics in Kumpala and Ambalapadavu, had gone on a visit to Shri Kukke Subrahmanya with his brother Prakash's families. On way back on NH 75, they stopped over for his two children to play in water in Gundya river.
As he went in search of a suitable place to play for children, without realizing the depth, Dr Amin is said to have lost physical balance and slid into deep water. The children screamed but no one from the group dared to save him since they did not know how to swim.
Local swimmers Satish Gundya and others dived and pulled him up and he was rushed to a hospital in Mangalore, but it was too late to save his life.

Location: Peanut Research
Technical Abstract: Microsatellites/SSRs (simple sequence repeats) have become a powerful tool in genomic biology because of their broad range of applications and availability. An efficient method recently developed to generate microsatellite-enriched libraries used in combination with high throughput DNA pyrosequencing with Roche 454 allow isolation of large number of microsatellites. Although very effective, screening hundreds of microsatellites on large number of samples can be expensive. We introduce UPIC + GO as a cost-effective tool that will zero in on informative markers with discrimination power. This approach is an extension of UPIC, Unique Pattern Informative Combinations, which provides users with a more economical plan for choosing which markers to run in an experiment based on the obtainable information and UPIC scores . We used as a model system Macrophomina phaseolina, a soilborne fungus that causes charcoal rot in numerous plant species. Sequences were assembled into contigs and primers were designed on repeat regions. Blast2GO was used to annotate sequences, and primers were screened on 24 isolates of M. phaseolina. DNA fingerprinting provided amplicon distinction which was validated with GeneMapper analysis. UPIC scores were calculated and used in association with the annotation to make biological inferences about the isolates. Incorporating a priori knowledge about the function of a discriminative marker will enhance the selection process in experiments in a cost-effective manner.

Traditionally, providing security for a system focuses on the confidentiality of the information on it. However, protecting the data integrity and system and data availability is just as important. For example, when processing United States intelligence information, there are three attributes that require protection: confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

I have been building furniture since 1982 and have not had a single piece of furniture returned. However, I realize that making a large purchase on the internet makes some people uneasy. For this reason I will accept returns in certain cases:
If for any reason you are not fully satisfied with a standard, non-customized piece of my furniture you may return it within 30 days of delivery for a full refund of the purchase price. You must pay for return shipping and I do not refund your original shipping costs. Returned furniture must be in resellable condition. Any cost incurred in returning your furniture to resellable condition will be deducted from your refund. You must call for a return authorization before returning any furniture. I do not accept returns of any customized furniture. In addition, once work has begun on a custom piece of furniture you will be charged for work done, including design time, if you decide to cancel the order.

4.5 Stars: The garlic butter is divine. I marinated the steak in Dale's for about 30 minutes and my husband thought it was still very plain. I will marinate longer next time. It definitely needs more than salt and pepper.

My husband made this a while back and I have to say it's delicious! Shortly after I discovered that I have to cut out dairy from my diet, so he tried it again with margarine in place of the butter and it was still quite tasty, though I preferred the butter.

The chef who ever thought of putting butter, much less garlic-butter on a steak was a genius, IMHO! I love garlic butter on a steak and have been doing this at home for a long time.

Sept. 11, remembered
- FILE/RON EDMONDS/ASSOCIATED PRESS Visit the Photo Place |
ELEVEN YEARS AGO, America suffered a blow that shifted this country as surely as any movement of its tectonic plates. On that sunny September day, terrorists attacked the U.S. homeland. Not since Pearl Harbor had the country felt the impact of a direct assault; not since the assassination of President Kennedy had there been such a national shock. And like those two horrors, the 9/11 attacks would soon come to define a point at which our country--and especially a generation--changed course.
Because of 9/11, the United States launched the "global war on terror," military actions in Afghanistan and Iraq that have, to date, cost the country over $1.29 trillion. More than 6,000 military members have died, with in excess of 43,000 wounded. Thankfully, the mastermind of Bloody Tuesday, Osama bin Laden, is dead. But extricating our soldiers from post-9/11 battlefields has proven difficult.
Because of 9/11, some Muslims (and even some turban-wearing Sikhs) were immediately targeted for harassment and retribution in the United States. Experts such as Adrienne Fulco, associate professor of legal and policy studies at Trinity College, credit President George W. Bush, who asserted that "America is not at war with Muslims," with calming that impulse. But tensions regarding Islam still surface. Think of the outrage a couple of years back over plans to build the "Ground Zero Mosque"; recall the protests over "discriminatory policing" in New York.
Because of 9/11, "evil" re-entered the American vocabulary, re-emerging from the mushy thinking of relativism with a clarity not seen for decades.
Because of 9/11, Congress created the Department of Homeland Security, consolidating several agencies (including the Secret Service, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the Coast Guard, and FEMA) under one head, for better or for worse. Although the FBI remains independent, its primary mission has shifted from investigating crimes after the fact to preventing the next terror attack.
Because of 9/11, every American has felt the impact of increased security measures, from standing shoeless in lines at the airport to observing steely-eyed guards walking Amtrak trains to having their Internet and international phone-call traffic monitored by federal officials. Soon drones may fly over your hometown. If so, credit 9/11.

We have developed a sustained track record of international excellence and excel in the production of empirically rich, conceptually sophisticated and policy relevant research. Much of our research is interdisciplinary and often comparative in its insights to certain key criminal justice issues.
The Centre was established in 1987 to pursue research into criminal justice systems and criminological issues. It has since grown to become one of the leading criminological centres of its genre with an established international profile.
Peak of research excellence
The Centre fosters an active and flourishing academic environment for teaching and research. It is recognised by the University of Leeds as one of its key 'peaks of research excellence'.
Those working within the CCJS have established international reputations in the broad field of criminal justice policy research, especially in the areas of policing, crime prevention, victims, youth justice, cyber-crimes and the supervision of offenders.
External links and funding
Since 2001, the CCJS has been awarded external research funding of approximately £2.5 million. This includes some recent large scale awards from the Ministry of Justice and the Nuffield Foundation.
It has also attracted a number of prestigious awards from diverse research funding bodies including the ESRC, AHRC, European Commission, Nuffield Foundation, Joseph Rowntree Foundation and Leverhulme Trust.
Part of a global network
We have good international research links, notably through the Worldwide University Network and we are an institutional member of the Groupe Européen de Recherches sur les Normativités, a leading international research network funded by the French CNRS. The CCJS also has formal links with the Institute of Criminology at Sydney University.

If you wish to go to the current Fangoria site, you may click the top logo, "Home" or "News" links. Or click here.
The latest French genre director to make the jump to an English-language horror feature went HOME SWEET HOME to do it, and we've got exclusive words with his co-producer and news on the film's U.S. release.
David Morlet (a.k.a. David Morley), who directed and co-wrote the undead-apocalypse film MUTANTS, scripted and helmed HOME SWEET HOME and was also one of the producers, along with Jordan Barker, who directed the 2007 ghost story THE MARSH. "What's really interesting is that this movie was actually born at the Berlin Film Festival at the Berlinale Market," Barker tells Fango. "We decided that we wanted to make a feature together, and from script development to funding, production and post, this film came together in only about four or five months."
Screen Media Films gave us the scoop that it has picked up U.S. rights to HOME SWEET HOME, with a release planned for the second quarter of 2013 (most likely June). Special features for the disc release are still to be finalized, but will likely include a director's commentary, interviews and a still gallery (keep your eyes here for final details). The movie's story, according to Barker, "involves a young couple who have recently moved to the country; their home is invaded by an intruder, and they must survive the night. While that sounds potentially like a very basic retelling of a lot of other home-invasion stories, David has done an excellent job of turning it on its head and elevating it. I don't want to give away too much, but I think he's really given us something a little different, something special.
"Being a Canada/France co-production," he continues, "we took advantage of the great union actors at work up in Toronto. We found great people: Meghan Heffern, who was in Atom Egoyan's CHLOE, and Adam MacDonald, who's well known in Canada from his TV series, are our two leads, and Shaun Benson is our killer—really great talent."
Shooting in Canada also helped when it came to Morlet making the transition to directing in English for the first time." "He took to it with great enthusiasm," Barker says. "We certainly knew there would be challenges, but Canada being a bilingual country, most of the actors understood French as well, and David's English is pretty good. I think he was a little nervous, a little shy about the nuances, but he was surrounded by a great crew of English-speaking people, and I have a directing background as well, so we were there to help him out whenever there was an issue about something they misunderstood—but there really weren't any. And he brought a European sensibility to the film, so all the actors and crew were very excited to be working with that."
Look for more at this site on HOME SWEET HOME and its release as its debut date draws closer.

Gas prices are down nationally.
Why are you predicting ten dollars a gallon?
There is a glut of oil in the US. Highest in 8 years. Drill, baby drill has us actually exporting oil products for the first time in a long time. Record number of drilling rigs, etc. Drill baby drill hasn't lowered prices at all, as was promised.

Ah .. maybe .. but this is California .. where gas prices are always close to highest in the nation.

> Why are you predicting ten dollars a gallon?
This is the preferred "environmental" solution. To cripple the auto industry/car culture by driving up the price of gas to incredibly high prices.
One of the big questions for budgeting a European vacation is the price of gas. In short, European prices are considerably higher than they are in America, about 2.3 x higher.
There are many here in the US who believe that parity with Europe is one way to force people onto publicly-owned transportation. This 2.3X current California gas prices comes close to $10/gal.
Posted by gas prices, a resident of the College Terrace neighborhood, on May 30, 2012 at 4:54 pm
Oil companies keep gas prices in California high by (1) conveniently shutting down multiple refineries for maintenance all at the same time and (2) exporting oil and gasoline to foreign countries. Yes, it is a conspiracy among multiple oil companies.
Posted by Gas-Will-Soon-Be-Ten-Dollars-A-Gallon, a resident of Another Palo Alto neighborhood, on May 30, 2012 at 5:16 pm
> conspiracy of the oil companies ..
Really? You're gonna go with that? Well, it is true that there are some refineries off-line at the moment, but the requirements for boutique blends of gasoline unique to California is something that the Oil companies would rather do without.
But back in Washington..
�No, the overall goal is to decrease our dependency on oil, to build and strengthen our economy,� Chu said. �We think that if you consider all these energy policies, including energy efficiency, we think that we can go a long way to becoming less dependent on oil and our supply, and we�ll help the American economy and the American consumers.�
Following Chu�s remark that reducing gas prices is not the �overall goal� of his agency, Republican candidate Newt Gingrich has asked President Obama to fire Steven Chu.
�Just this week, Obama�s own Energy secretary, Steven Chu, admitted what we all know is true � that the Obama Energy Department really isn�t trying to lower gasoline prices,� Gingrich said during a campaign stop in Georgia.

he internet loves cats. And why not? They're cute, endlessly entertaining, and unlike dogs, don't require constant attention. But what do cats do when they're not curling up in your lap? According to biologists, they're off killing other animals — billions of 'em. Scientists from the Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute and the Fish and Wildlife Service estimate that each year, apparently bloodthirsty felines are preying on billions of birds and small mammals like indigenous chipmunks, shrews, and meadow voles. "When we ran the model, we didn't know what to expect," researcher Dr. Peter Marra told the New York Times. "We were absolutely stunned by the results." The model, which crunches numbers from 21 existing studies, is the first of its kind in the United States, and follows on the heels of a controversial plan in New Zealand to eliminate the nation's cats. Here's a look at our killer cats, by the numbers:
84 million
House cats in the United States
4 to 18
Birds killed by a typical house cat every year
8 to 21
Small mammals killed by a typical house cat every year
30 million to 80 million
Free-roaming, feral cats estimated to be living in the United States. They either survive alone or live in colonies. In Washington, D.C., for example, there are estimated to be some 300 outdoor cat colonies.
23 to 46
Birds killed by each feral cat every year
129 to 338
Small mammals killed by each feral cat every year
1.4 billion to 3.7 billion
Total birds killed by America's cats every year
Percentage of all bird deaths estimated to come at the hands — er, paws — of cats every year
6.9 billion to 20.7 billion
Total small mammals killed by cats every year
2 to 4
Factor by which these newly estimated kill rates are higher than mortality figures previously suggested. "Our findings suggest that free-ranging cats cause substantially greater wildlife mortality than previously thought and are likely the single greatest source of anthropogenic mortality for U.S. birds and mammals," the study's authors conclude. "Scientifically sound conservation and policy intervention is needed to reduce this impact."

Comment posted Misleading journalism from Dunoon Observer by newsroom.
Point of accuracy – in his quoted letter to Councillor Bruce Marshall, Mr Walsh did not discuss 'stopping' the planned joint primary campus for Dunoon but simply, post election, asking for the plan to be suspended pending clarification on funding options not previously known to him.
newsroom also commented
- So, as a previous editor, we can take it that you would also have published this particular piece as it stands and would have been content to support its interpretation and use of the basic text to which it refers.
- It would be interesting to have examples of instances where 'consultations' in any quarter operated in the spirit of openness to evidence.
- A straw poll would be interesting.
And in this case, we're talking about a council where proposals were put forward to close rural schools without any evidence that anyone, however senior, had read the 2010 School's Act 2010 enough to understand it. And that was primary legislation not minister's speeches or the Scottish Architecture journal.
It's not impossible that no one at ABC knew that the Schools for the Future fund also supported refurbishments. While there may accusations of laxity and incompetence in this, Government information on this is clearly opaque and that is not helpful.
- Speaking purely for ourselves – the frontline presence of this fund says new build.
It would not occur to us to ask if a fund that purported to support one thing might actually fund something else. We would expect the targets a fund supports to be upfront or easily discoverable.
We accept that we have a particularly straightforward attitude to most things but we are experienced readers and analysts of information.
It is reasonable to assume that this information is comprehensive.
We are working, as we try to do, to be fair in this and there is no doubt that the available information is not fully lucid. No one should have to play guessing games with government information and this information does not hint at anything that would even prompt a guess.
- On 25 October 2011 the online journal Scottish Architecture carried an article entitled: 'Scottish Schools for the Future programme expanded'.
It's opening paragraphs said: 'An announcement made on Sunday (23 October) by First Minister Alex Salmond outlined plans to build or refurbish 30 schools as part of the next phase of the school buildings programme – 12 more than originally planned.
This will see the total number of projects built under the £1.25 billion 'Scottish Schools for the Future' programme, which aims to provide high quality facilities for pupils and their teachers, rise to more than 60.'
However, to be fair to Mr Walsh, anyone who went straight to the horse's mouth – as practical people would do – to the Scottish Futures Trust webpage for Schools for the Future, would find it hard to distil any sense that this is other than a new build initiative.
Is it reasonable to expect senior officers and council leaders to hear all minister's speeches to parliament and to be au fait with specialist magazines? Maybe it is.
However, we ourselves would go straight to what we would assume was the authoritative source – and we have been unable to find anything else on the Scottish Government website. One link that seemed germane – 'Building Better Schools: Investing in Scotland's Future' – would not open, recording simply Error 404.
If we ourselves were to go on the basis of the Scottish Futures Trust online material, we would not even ask if the fund covered refurbishments.
So the lack of awareness Mr Walsh claims may have been enabled by poorly managed public communications.

- White smoke rises from Councillor Duncan MacIntyre's chimney as two-man College of Cardinals settle a deal
Short and sweet for short and sweet: don't be simplistic.
No one could defend Councillor Robb's sudden swerve last Thursday, leaving his loyal colleagues like flotsam and jetsam.
But that does not mean that he did not deserve the support he was given by his colleagues when he was given it.
Life is not a simple business. - Russell to make parliamentary statement on rural schools today
In the circumstances of the destructions of the SNP councillors group in the last 12 months, you can hardly expect credibility elevating the importance of 'collective' action?
Being 'collective' when it suits one to harvest support from others it not what collectivity or collegiality is about.
And many in Argyll now know more than enough about your party, its councillors, its members, its structures and its wonderfully elastic 'rules'. - Russell to make parliamentary statement on rural schools today
This was a RESPONSE to a party political slanting of the issue – scoring points in an internal SNP turf war which should never have happened, was consciously manipulated, and has divided a party I voted for and was a member of until relatively recently – when I stopped my subscription in a mixture of anger, despair – and contempt – at what was and is – being done to hopes for better governance in Argyll and Bute.
You might also reflect upon the contradictions inherent in approving of For Argyll for being straight speaking when it suits one agenda and condemning it when what it says – equally objectively, is less comfortable. - Russell to make parliamentary statement on rural schools today
Don't take this as an argument against rural schools – which it is not.
There is, though, a very real argument about the relative educational and social value of classes as small as one or two.
