2. | booze hound | ||
1. (n.) Member of a group who has extremely high tolerance with regards to alcohol and rarely succumbs to vomiting. The boozehound is a frequent drinker who is able to consume large quantities while still maintaining social competency. Typically, boozehounds receive the admiration of others for this special talent; however, as a result of this tolerance, the boozehound must develop a fondness for beast. Hobbies include beer pong, shot checkers, and power hour.
2. (n.) He who holds the "drinking title". "Ah man, I really wish the boozehound was here to party with us tonight."
- "Yeah, I know what you mean. But hey, without him here, we finally have some beer to drink for once." "Hey boozehound, how many beers is that for you?" - "Oh, that's about my 47th." |
1. | booze hound | ||
a person known for their uncommonly large alcohol consumption and the ability to function there after. Damn son your a booze hound!
3. | booze hound | ||
One who puts the consumption of alcohol above all responsibility, family, and friends. Possesses a strong love only for alcohol and alcohol-centric situations. Consumes alcohol every free chance they get. This person usually says things like "i need a beer" or "jeez i could really use a drink or 30". This person's automobile can be commonly and frequently seen parked outside of local pubs and bars. Refuses rides even when obliterated. Very angry and edgy. Smiles only when intoxicated. Always complaining that they are at work/school and not at a bar. Always at a bar when they are not at work/school. "Wow, Kristen's car is out in front of the Adam's Bar again? Damn, is she a booze hound!"
4. | booze hound | ||
A person whose innate ability to sniff out (similar to a bloodhound, hence the namesake) an excuse to drink at any time or any place. Elly is a real booze hound, she takes a shot after every Touchdown, fieldgoal, firstdown, turnover, and extra point.
5. | booze hound | ||
A Booze Hound is somebody who loves a drink at any time of the day in any place and sonsumes large quantities of alcohol before during and after work. Kate McAllister is pissed again, christ almighty she is a MASSIVE BOOZE HOUND
Kate McAllister was on it last night - what a MASSIVE BOOZE HOUND Kate McAllister has just been on facebook - seriously what a MASSIVE BOOZE HOUND |
6. | Booze Hound | ||
A skeletal thin, dirty old man that hangs out in seedy dive bars that are frequented by others like him. Chain smoking often accompanies the heavy drinking, more than likely cheap generic cigarettes purchased by the carton. Money saved on cigarettes allows for more money to be spent on booze. The booze hound can easily be spotted by his weathered face, wrinkled skin and dirty clothes permanently stained with the smell of old sweat. He looks like he could be the town drunk, because he probably is. The booze hound will smell like booze even when he isn't drinking because he is so soaked with booze internally that the smell of alcohol permeates from his pores. When the Clarksburg Inn burned down, the regulars, a.k.a the old booze hounds, had to find somewhere else to go.
7. | booze hound | ||
a person that drinks non stop, all day, everyday. That Steph is a real booze hound.

Pirates cut four, Pearce makes team
The Pirates reassign Infielders Andy Marte and Corey Wimberly, Left-hand pitcher Brian Burres and Catcher Dusty Brown to minor league camp on Saturday morning.
Marte signed a minor league contract with the Pirates this offseason. Once a highly regarded prospect, he was ranked by Baseball America as one of the top 15 from 2004-2006.
Marte, 27, hit .229 with five home runs and 19 RBI in 170 at-bats with the Cleveland Indians in 2010.
This spring Marte batted .364 with six doubles, five RBI, five walks and six runs scored.
Wimberly was acquired by the Oakland Athletics' in exchange for right-handed pitcher Ryan Kelly in late December.
Wimberly, 27, hit .284 with three home runs, 57 RBI in 135 games for the A's Triple-A team in 2010. Wimberly stole 56 bases last season, 259 bags in 563 career games.
This spring he hit .212 with two RBI, six walks and stole four bases in 21 games.
Burres signed a minor league contract this offseason with the Pirates.
Burres went 4-5 with a 4.99 ERA in 13 starts (20 appearances) with the Pirates last season. In his final seven games, Burres had a 1.89 ERA.
This spring Burres had a nine scoreless inning streak. He allowed six runs on 15 hits over 14.0 innings with five walks and seven strikeouts.
Brown signed a minor league contract this offseason with the Pirates.
Brown, 28, spent the majority of the last three seasons catching with the Red Sox's Triple-A team. During 2010, he batted .218 with 19 doubles and seven homers.
This spring Brown batted .321 with one double, four RBI in 28 at-bats.
Steve Pearce has won the backup corner infielder position according to Rob Biertempfel of the Tribune.
Pearce recently eliminated his leg kick from his swing in hopes it would help him earn him a bench spot. Looks like the adjustment payed off.
This spring Pearce batted .283 with five doubles and three RBI in 46 at-bats.
Pearce told Jenifer Langosch of MLB.com, "I've surprised myself a little bit, honestly. Going over to third after not having played for so long, it came naturally. In the outfield, I'm moving a lot better. I've felt good everywhere they've moved me. I think I have exceeded expectations."
Although the Pirates have not yet made anything official, just one man stands in for the job. Garrett Atkins (released), Andy Marte and Josh Fields (reassigned to minor league camp) were battling for the backup corner infielder position.
Pearce also has the ability to play the corner outfield positions as well. This will mark the first time in his career he has made the opening day roster.
With Burres cut from camp, you would assume that Garrett Olson will be in the Pirates bullpen, he is the only lefty remaining.
That leaves Right-handers Chris Leroux and Mike Crotta fighting for the final spot in the 'pen.
The Pirates still have not determined whether they will keep a third catcher this season. It all depends on the future of Ryan Doumit (will he be traded or will he be used just as a bench guy). Jason Jaramillo and John Bowker are final two competing for a bench spot.
The are 32 players left at camp.

Q: ExpressLanes
I am not a regular commuter on the Harbor (110) Freeway, so I'm trying to figure out if it makes sense for me to get a transponder for occasional use in the new ExpressLanes when I have passengers with me.
- Diana Johnson
Redondo Beach
When the ExpressLanes are up and running this fall, all users will be required to purchase a transponder whether they intend to drive as a car pool (for which they will not be charged a fee, as is the case today) or as a solo driver. | » Transponders hold the key
The cost for a transponder is $40 to $50 depending on whether you use plastic or cash or a check.
An initial prepaid deposit of $25 per transponder is also required to open an account if you pay by cash or check.
You get the deposit back when the device is returned in good working order.
Finally, there's a $3 monthly account maintenance fee once the ExpressLanes are operational, however, the monthly fee is waived if the account holder uses the ExpressLanes for at least four one-way trips a month.

Oil Boom's Impact on Medical Industry, Part 1
By: Mycah Glover
Updated: January 31, 2013
"Midland is growing. There are lots of people here in Midland that need doctors, and we have a marked shortage of doctors to meet that need," say Dr. Robert Vogel, M.D.
Dr. Vogel, who has been practicing medicine in Midland for almost 30 years, says the shortage of general physicians isn't exactly a new problem. He adds there are probably no more than 30 general physicians practicing in the Tall City. That's nowhere near enough to meet the needs of a growing population, which was estimated to be near 114,000 over a year ago.
To make matters worse, many of those doctors aren't accepting new patients, forcing more and more people to use emergency clinics like Premier Physicians.
"We have definitely seen an increase in patients over the last year," said Audra Leonard, PA-C.
On a typical day, Leonard says they see between 80 and 90 patients. With only two PA's on staff each day, that's a lot to handle.
"Sometimes the wait times are a little longer than we would like," said Leonard. "But we do our best, and we try to get people in and out to accommodate their schedules better."
Also doing their best to help a growing community is Midland Memorial Hospital, who not only has a new patient tower to accommodate the current growth, but is already planning for more in the future.
"We're really blessed," said Russell Meyers, CEO and president of Midland Memorial Hospital. "The new hospital has more capacity. It has two additional floors beyond what we originally planned so that as the community grows we can pretty quickly...not easily or cheaply..but we can pretty quickly move forward to expand capacity if we need it."
NOTE: If you're looking for a general physician, Dr. Vogel recommends you call 68-NURSE. He also says don't go to the Emergency Room unless it's a true emergency. You can also visit an ER clinic like Premier Physicians.
PART 2: Next week, we'll take look at the impact the oil boom may be having on Odessa's emergency rooms.

- What is VMware announcing regarding Open Interfaces and Formats?
VMware is collaborating with a group of leading technology vendors to define open virtualization standards. As an initial step, VMware will contribute its existing frameworks and APIs to facilitate the development of these standards in an industry neutral manner.
- Why are open interfaces and formats important?
In every industry, open interfaces and formats has been a critical enabler to accelerating ubiquitous adoption. Virtualization is no different. As great as the momentum is today for virtualization, it is still in its early stages of adoption. VMware is taking this step to spur the growth of virtualization, accelerate solution delivery to customers and achieve wide spread adoption. VMware is also taking this step because partners and customers have asked for it.
- Why is this significant for customers?
Open interfaces and formats will give customers access to a broader range of virtualization solutions that are also compatible across an increased number of industry products.
- How will this benefit the industry?
Open interfaces and formats will facilitate greater collaboration and innovation across an ecosystem of virtualization vendors and expand the market opportunities for all.
- Why is VMware proposing these open interfaces and formats?
The most successful interfaces and formats in the technology business have been based on defacto customer deployed standards. VMware's technology has been deployed widely for over seven years and incorporates a significant amount of real-world experience.
- What is a Hypervisor?
A Hypervisor is a basic component of virtualization software and it provides the capabilities necessary to partition and multiplex the system. In VMware ESX terminology, this roughly corresponds to the ESX Virtual Machine Monitor.
- Which open interfaces and formats is VMware making available?
VMware's open interfaces and formats include the following:
- Virtual Machine Interface - APIs between hypervisors and guest operating systems.
- Management Interface - Framework that governs the standardized operation and management of stand-alone virtual machine environments as well as highly dynamic, data center-scale deployment of virtualized systems.
- Virtual Machine Disk Format- Virtual machine disk formats that enable virtual machine provision, migration and maintenance across platforms.
- Who can use these open interfaces and formats?
VMware intends this to be an open, vendor neutral effort. Any vendor that shares in the common goal of open virtualization standards can participate.

BURLINGTON Vermont fire investigators say an early morning fire in a vacant Burlington apartment was arson.
While the apartment on Ethan Allen Parkway was vacant, three other apartments in the same building were occupied when one tenant called 911 at 5:15 a.m. Tuesday after hearing a smoke alarm go off in the empty apartment.
The families in the three apartments left the building, but they were allowed to return a short time later after firefighters extinguished the fire.
Investigators, along with a police dog, investigated and determined the fire was deliberately set.MORE IN Vermont NewsJERICHO Flash flooding from record-tying rainfalls in parts of northern Vermont closed roads...

Never go in against a Sicilian when death is on the line!
But i see non-premium members with pics in thier sigs!!
It's a loophole. Put this in your signature text: "[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]" after you upload a signature pic.

Staff Writer
PIKEVILLE, Ky. - A local man arrested in connection with the murder of his wife has pleaded not guilty to the crime.
Bruce Dillon, 52, was arrested Friday, charged with murder-domestic violence and abuse of a corpse.
Last Friday, Kentucky State Police Detectives Jimmy Anderson and Tony Tackett along with Grant County Sheriffs Office K-9 Search and Rescue conducted a search of the property of Bruce Dillon. The search was conducted in the Aflex community of Pike County. During the course of the search KSP Detectives unearthed a container which held the remains of a unidentified female inside.
The victim is believed to be Dillon's wife, Sherry, 44, who has been missing for a month.
Sherry Dillon's family contacted Kentucky State Police July 16, and said she had not been seen since July 7, near her residence at Aflex. KSP issued a missing person alert Aug. 3.
Dillon is scheduled to be in court again Thursday for a preliminary hearing. He is being held in the Pike County Detention Center without bond.

Star Style Evolution: Jennifer Lopez
It's hard to believe it now, but J.Lo wasn't always a glamazon with a legendary sense of style. Check out her fashionable transformationfrom a Fly Girl to an Idol. We're expecting many more skin-baring red carpet moments as this sexy, triple-threat goes back on the market.
Before she became a paparazzi target, Jennifer could walk around town wearing whatever she wanted.
In her early days in the spotlight, Jennifer looked more like a genie in a bottle than a sultry star.
We knew there was a hot body under thereand she showed it off in this white sequin gown.
At her first Academy Awards after her major hit, Selena, the up-and-coming actress learned how to work the red carpet.
This geometric dress is no optical illusion. J. Lo's body really is just that amazing.
She's always been one to show a little skin at events. But we're not so sure about the cowboy hat.
Here's where Jen gets into her glamour groove: This classic look was a fashion fave at the Academy Awards.
Arguably the most infamous dress in red-carpet history: J.Lo created tons of buzz after wearing down-to-there chiffon to the Grammy Awards.
While this gown seemed subtle at first glance, it was what she didn't wear that made her stand out.
While promoting her film Maid in Manhattan, Jennifer showed off her banging bod in this tight white number.
We get it. You have a ridiculous bod.
After she got comfortable on the red carpet, she started to take risks. Big risks.
Taking a break from her usual body-hugging ensembles, she gave herself some room to breathe in this billowy silk dress.
This sexy, green dress was poised and polished for the Oscars after-party.
The fashionable star worked it in a strapless LBD and sexy red lips.
This hot mama-to-be was glowing in a one-shoulder, white, Grecian gown at a Movies Rock event.
J.Lo showed off her playful side in a Marilyn Monroe-inspired white minidress, red lips, and retro curls.
Jennifer deserved a statue for the glam golden gown she wore to the Globes.
After becoming a mom, the star started to rock softer shapes and pastel hues like this Armani gown.
At the amfAR Gala, J.Lo looked seriously lovely in tiers of pink ruffles by Roberto Cavalli.
She opted for an ethereal look at the Golden Globes: a white gown with a crystal cape.
At the Grammy Awards, she showed off her toned gams in a super-short, silver mini.
In Paris, she rocked Jenny from the Block attitudeexcept the "block" was clearly the Champs-Élysées.
A week before she announced her split with Marc Anthony, Jennifer showed off her rock-hard abs in an cut-out Emilio Pucci gown at the BAFTAs.

Applying Domain-Driven Design to Flex development
What is Domain-Driven Design?
Domain-Driven Design is an approach to software design saying that developers should focus on the domain, by creating a strong model representing this domain and that handles all the domain logic. It was created by Eric Evans and it is presented in the eponymous book, an essential resource to understand all the patterns that characterized Domain-Driven Design (abbreviated as DDD).
These patterns can be separated into three sets:
- The blocks, explaining the basic objects and elements the developer will have to handle when using DDD.
- The advanced elements of DDD, offering a Deeper Insight.
- The concepts for achieving a Strategic Design.
Some of these concepts are ubiquitous: they can be applied to any programming language and / or any software development. However some of them are more specialized, depending on the organization of the project, the teams involved and the different processes. In fact, most of the concepts for achieving Strategic Design (the third set of patterns) are strategies to apply depending of the project context.
This article will not present Domain-Driven Design and how it can help projects become more successful. It will focus on everything specific to Flex development following Domain-Driven Design approach.
Flex and Domain-Driven Design
Flex (and by extend, the Flash platform) is a specialized technology. When you're working on this platform, you usually connect to a server as a client. You also need to be aware of asynchrony, because your application is reachable on the web and the user can access it through different devices (mobile phones, tablets, computers, video game consoles, etc.). You do care of loading time, of the quantity of data to handle and you often ask the question: "should I apply this logic on client-side or server-side?". These are strong constraints forcing developers and architects to adapt. Domain-Driven Design hopefully offers patterns helping your developments in different situations, for example how to work with another system that is sometimes out of control or not part of the same team.
The basic blocks presented in DDD can easily be applied to Flex development: Entities, Value Objects, Services, Factories are concepts and terms already used in many projects. Advanced blocks are also part of every day of a Flex developer, containing patterns like Assertions, Specification, Strategy or the use of Interfaces. Concepts of Strategic Design are really interesting concerning Flex when it comes to a large-scale architecture: there will be many constraints to face and DDD provides different possibilities to achieve efficiency depending on context.
At first sight, DDD seems to apply the same way to Flex as to other technologies. However I think there are some patterns that should be emphasized to Flex developers as they concerns him more directly.
Patterns applied to Flex development
While some basics elements of Domain-Drivne Design like Entities or Services are used the same way as with other technologies, some patterns are particularly interesting to study as they raise and deal with specific constraints in the Flash/Flex context. Let's focus on some of them and remind this list is not exhaustive.
Layered Architecture
In Domain-Driven Design, the Layered Architecture pattern partition the code into four different layers: Presentation, Application, Domain, Infrastructure. The most important part should be the Domain layer, as it is were lies the core of the model, that is to say the core of application. But Flex projects are, by nature, user-interface focused, giving them a strong Presentation layer.
This partition can be considered the same as MVCS (Model View Controller Service), but it is different in the fact that all domain logic should stand in the Domain layer, and not be shared between the Model and Controller part of the MVC pattern. I have worked on projects where some of the domain logic was in the View part, like in a "Code Behind" or a "Presentation Model". Using the Layered Architecture terminology clearly separates domain logic and encapsulates it into a single layer.
It is really interesting to look at how projects / frameworks uses this architecture. Here are two really interesting examples:
- Cairngorm guidelines
- Spring ActionScript Cafe Townsend sample application http://www.herrodius.com/blog/307
Modules are basic elements of Domain-Driven Design applied to large-scale project. Hopefully, the concept of module is also a primitive in Flex, having native ways to handle them. A module should be treated as a completely independent piece of code, that should have the possibility to be executed alone and have its own test suite.
A Flex module is even more important as he will surely be deployed on the web. Web projects means loading time, and every developer should try to reduce the loading of every application. Flex modules offers the possibility of decoupling your code and at the same time having small pieces of application available separately for the user, that will be loaded "on the fly" only when the user really needs it.
Having this module strategy is then a double advantage: technically (reducing coupling) and for the user, reducing is waiting time.
Ubiquitous Language
Ubiquitous Language is all about communication. Having a shared language between projects participants, but also between different teams. On Flex projects, you will often have many different teams: Flex developers of course, but also server developers (.NET, Java, PHP, etc.), designers, project managers, business analysts, etc. The Flex developer is always in the middle of this workflow: he needs to agree on a contract with the server-side, explains his needs to the designers, listen to the business requirements, etc. That's why he may be the one that needs Ubiquitous Language the most: if he cannot understand and share the key concepts and terms of the domain, he will clearly be confused with one of the actor around him.
Assertions is another pattern easily applicable to Flex development. Assertions are tools that will help your code to be stable and so have your domain logic tested. FlexUnit is one of the tools that can be used to ensure that. But other tools can indirectly help assert your code is not broken. Continuous Integration can be achieved with tools like Hudson, offering unit testing reports, FlexPMD reports for code quality, etc. and this done automatically, leaving the developer time to focus on the domain logic instead of testing manually the system.
Lately, web technologies evolved so the productivity of web applications increase, offering better tools and less constraints to the developer. As a matter of fact, he can spend more of his time focusing on the domain, instead of some interface problem he encountered before with plain HTML for example. But these technologies still feel the legacy of the web model, some constraints that limits the applications of Domain-Driven Design to Flex development.
Repositories (a basic DDD pattern) will communicate in an asynchronous way, meaning they must be "aware of this mechanism", having some handlers whenever data is fetched. This is clearly a technical constraint being part of the Domain layer, and though reducing the clarity of it. Using Java, DAO will be used to abstract these operations and hide the way data is fetched, but it is often synchronous operations. What we would like to achieve in Flex is to have this kind of abstraction, hiding implementation detail of this asynchrony to the domain. For example, the Operation API of the Spring ActionScript framework will hide every kind of asynchronous request (remoting, REST, Web service, etc.) behind an interface.
This is one of the constraints for combining Flex and DDD together.
Sometimes data needed to be cached on client side. It can be context information, some elements related to the current user, etc. All this information should also be available via Repositories, as the purpose of a Repository is to provide access for Aggregates to object instances. Retrieving from a cache or through a distant call is a technical difference that will complicate the implementation of the Repository. Therefore again it is needed to find a convenient way of "hiding" these implementation details out of the domain layer.
Sharing the model with the server
Often in client / server projects, the client will not handle the whole model. For example if the project gather some information from different sources, integrating them on the server side and just passing what to display to the client, it will divide this abstract model in two parts. A Flex module will not handle a complete model but just the information from this model it actually needs to display. Sharing this core data with the server is a key factor for a successful project.
Even if Domain-Driven Design offers Strategic Design patterns to help discussion and communication between different teams holding the domain model, Flex development coupled to a server will raise some difficulties in the fact that you need to chose what information to share to the interface. Also, core logic will need to stay on the server side for performance purpose (think of extracting data from a database and sort it / paginate it using domain data). Working on such an architecture forces the developer to adopt some strategy. Patterns like Shared Kernel or Single Bounded Context are not applicable, limiting the developers to adopt Customer / Supplier Teams or Open Host Service. Off course there is a shared kernel, a core model that you find on both server and client. But because they are coded in different language, they are not synchronized and so need some attention to stay stable.
Having a model focused on what should be displayed and not on the core of the domain may impoverish the model on the client side.
Domain-Driven Design can be applied to Flex projects. The aspect of giving all the effort to the domain model is possible, even if Flex is intrinsically a user interface focused framework. Using some patterns like Layered Architecture or Modules is relevant for Flex development, and clearly give a structure to projects. However, the challenge of applying Domain-Driven Design to Flex resides on the fact that Flex development often involve third-party teams, like a server team and designers. Being this central actor discussing with other people, client developers therefore have the responsibility of using and building the Ubiquitous Language and be proactive to apply patterns like Open Host Service or Customer / Supplier Teams.

I have been slightly tempted to return. last time I played I was in a small friend corp, basically just me and about 3 other people. I wasnt really that much of a combat person, most of my skills are scattered around the non combat roles, sorry I havent played in awhile so doing this from memory hah. Salvaging jury rigging manufacturing etc then hacking and cloaking skills, I had a cheetah but I had my first lesson in pvp, if you are in a cheetah and hacking something and someone warps to your general area....run like hell. I was working on science and archaeology as well if I remember. my main combat skills was mainly drone combat. I spent most of my time using drones to take down npc ships salvaging the corpses and making jury rigged gear. and I was working on support drone skills I got ecm drones but I am not sure if I got to repair drones but I was working on them wasnt sure how useful I'd be in a real corp. I did have a couple basic combat frigates though, forget their names but they were minmatar. |
Well if you want to have some good cheap fun then RvB (Red vs Blue) is where its at. We have had 2 free for all even ts in the last 6 weeks where they dropped 10,000 frigates onto the grid at the pos. Go get popped and then grab another. Was hella fun if you want some pvp action.

Sounds like you were/are a bit all over the map, and you may like some help figuring out what your focus should be. EVE University might be a great place to re-enter the universe, lots of helpful folks/classes/resources and will give you time to figure out your longer term goals which is actually quite important when choosing what corp to join, since most tend to specialize in a few areas.

Originally posted by Kyleran Yea mainly I wanted to focus on non heavy combat roles. as far as focus the things I had the most fun with at the time were taking me, I think vexor, out loaded with drones tractor beams and salvage equipment and farming for jury rigging supplies. and when I wasnt doing that I was usually in my cheatah, or some varient I was using exploration probes hacking and cloaking. if I did something in a combat role I'd stick to drones or maybe cloaking as sort of an advanced scout my vexor and drone skills were so specced the my ship was never near combat. was always wondering if in a pvp corp if exploration and a cloaked ship would be useful, I also keep a laminated map of low sec with some dry erase markers next to my comp on the wall hah |

The Altus Public School District Board of Education recognized Rosalyn Hall for her dedication and passion for education during Monday's regular meeting in the Board Conference Room of the Administrative Center.
"43 years ago I taught a little girl in the sixth grade," began Superintendent Bob Drury. "She's the only board member that's still sitting on this board that voted for my employment when I was hired as Superintendent. She was a sweet student when I taught her in school, and a very good friend to me through adulthood."
Rosalyn Hall attended her last Board of Education meeting signifying the close of her third and final term. "The last five years have really been awesome," said Hall. "Just take care of those kids and give them the best education you can. I know you will," she said. "And thank you to the board."
The Board began the meeting with a roll call and a salute to our nation's flag. There were no comments from the audience.
Superintendent's reports and comments included a pay request from contractor Joe D. Hall, and a pay request from architect Boynton-Williams & Associates on high school renovations and new construction. There was a reminder of a school board training seminar to be held on Feb. 22 and 23 in Oklahoma City, and Drury also welcomed Nate Covington as a new Board member to begin next month.
Drury thanked Danny Rhodes of Blair for donating an elliptical and a treadmill to the Altus High School Athletic Department to go in the new fitness center, and expressed their great appreciation for Carl and Carmen's Creations for "reworking" the Mitch Windle trophy.
Board members approved claims, and all items on the consent agenda.
There were no policy changes for the month to approve.
The Board accepted seven retirements and resignations, including Susan Bartlett- Speech Drama teacher of Altus Junior High, May 24; Patty Ray- Vocal Music instructor Altus High School, May 24; Donnie Bevers- Custodian AJH, June 30; Jennifer Cole- 2nd grade teacher Will Rogers Elementary May 24; Jennifer Hoogstra- 1st grade teacher Rivers Elementary, May 24; Rick Roop- Assistant Principal Altus Intermediate School, June 30, and Amy Shroeder- 4th grade Will Rogers Elementary School, May 24.
The Board also approved reassignment of district certified personnel with change of pay for Cindy Allen to Curriculum Director from Principal of Bulldog Academy, effective next school year, and district non-certified personnel with change of pay for Julie Donovan to Secretary at Altus Intermediate from ISS Supervisor at Altus Intermediate School. The list of proposed substitutes and volunteers for consideration were approved, and the Board did not go into executive session.
There was no request for approval for employment of certified or non-certified personnel on a temporary contract.
Board members adopted a resolution for relief pertaining to some mandates placed on the schools over the past two years, and approved to select the architech to produce designs and cost estimates for serveral construction projects at AHS.
There was no new business, and the members voted to adjourn.

Don't assume that Seattle won't put all 4 of these guys on the field at the same time. They do strange things and it seems to turn out pretty well for them.
Is Seatle becoming the new 'destination ' for players wanting a ring?
The market for free-agent pass-rushers has been cooler than just about anyone expected. And the Seattle Seahawks are taking full advantage.
Less than 24 hours after landing Cliff Avril, the Seahawks came out of nowhere to sign former Buccaneer Michael Bennett to a one-year deal worth $5 million, as reported by Pro Football Talk. Avril's deal came in at two years and $15 million.
Both contracts are way off of what those players could have received under different circumstances — Avril turned down a reported three-year, $30-million offer from Detroit last year, while the Buccaneers would have owed Bennett just shy of $11 million had they used the franchise tag on him this offseason.
Instead, the Seahawks added both players to their well-stocked defensive front seven.
Do the Seahawks have a clear spot for Bennett? Not necessarily, as they're pretty full at outside linebacker with Avril and Bruce Irvin already on the roster, and Chris Clemons working his way back from an injury. Maybe Bennett sees some time at defensive end; maybe he shares that pass-rush rotation.
At the low cost that they landed the ex-Tampa Bay star, they'll be more than happy to find some way to use him.
Bennett recorded nine sacks for the Buccaneers last season, plus had 48 QB hurries (No. 3 for all ends). He reportedly met with the Dolphins earlier Thursday and had scheduled time to visit Detroit — only to sign up with Seattle.
Just how good could Seattle's pass-rush be now? Avril, Bennett, Clemons and Irvin combined for 38 sacks last season.
Grade: A. Again, the only aspect of this that's even close to a negative is that Seattle cannot possibly play all of these pass-rushers at the same time. Other than that, this is an absolute steal for a team that just keeps adding talented players.
