School system retirees are honored
Chesapeake Beach, MD - 6/18/2013
By Marty Madden
Calvert County Public Schools (CCPS) held its annual celebration for retiring employees Thursday, June 13 at the Rod 'N' Reel Restaurant in Chesapeake Beach. Over half of the 84 retirees, some of whom have already ended their employment within the system, attended the event and received recognition. The list of retirees includes 25 teachers and three principals.
Superintendent of Schools Dr. Jack Smith referred to retirement as "the next adventure."
"We're very happy and very sad," said Calvert Board of Education President Dr. Eugene M. Karol. "We're happy you're getting time to relax. Each of you in your own way has helped build this school system. You leave behind your mark of quality. There will definitely be a real loss to our school system. We'll miss you all but we're thankful you were here."

Unfortunately, it seems that noone at Nokia cares.
Hi all,
After latest SDK update (via online updater) I encountered a strange problem - dependency for qt-components:

I have a such content item right now, and difference between Beta Reports and Reports for this content item is about 5-10%.
There is an update regarding differences between Beta Reports and regular Reports: according to developer support, these differences are caused by apps redownloads and updates - Beta Reports take...
Well, the first thought is to use IAP. User downloads your app for free (some trial may be), and then buys license through IAP, your server can verify purchase via PTV API.
See this thread:
May of us are suffering from this.
What is really interesting, the difference is almost twice in Reports and Reports (Beta) for several content items. For example there are purchases stats for some of them (Beta Reports numbers are in...
Thank you for useful reply, izinin! :) Do you know, if there are any plans to provide classes to create widgets using Qt? It's really a bit strange that there is no way to implement key feature of...
Don't think so, the values for this period seems average.
Yes. I observe significant drop last 5 days or so. However, this may be somehow related to money processing, because I...
Hi folks,
Are there any guides regarding creation of homescreen widgets for Belle (preferably using Qt of course)?
Thanks in advance for your replies.
As I noted before, it is not entirely correct, because after some time you will recieve the full amount estimated for this month.
According to my experience, actual revenue is behind the estimated about 2.5 months, this time lag is apparently due to delayed operator payments and so on. After this period, all delayed payments...
I have received my invoice today, so it seems that there is no problem here. Thanks for your clarification, Andrew!
I have received both January invoice and January payment, so I don't see any real problem here... For some reason I thought that invoices should be generated ~10th of January, but according to my...
Hi all,
Anyone got the February invoice?
I almost forgot to tell that I found the cause of this problem. It seems that Qt Creator use /tmp as temporary folder into which it places .deb archive before installation. However, /tmp space is...
I also encountered this problem after an upgrade to Qt 4.7.4 and Qt Creator 2.4.1. This is clearly not a connection problem, because I'm able to upload deb file to the device by sftp manually, and...
Almost the same for me (excluding 24th, when my sales seems normal again).
It seems that there is only partial statistics available for last few days. Andrew, can you please clarify, is this a real cause, and when the remaining data will be repopulated?
I have received invoice today, so it seems that statistics problems are related to invoice calculation & generation, as usual.
Same here. Even worse, category rankings are affected by invalid purchase stats. Hope this will be fixed.
Are you sure that you use valid file paths in manifest.aegis and path to video file? Don't forget that while in Symbian file path is case-insensitive, it is case-sensitive in Harmattan.
Don't forget to specify full path to your app's binary in manifest.aegis:
<credential name="GRP::video" />
<credential name="GRP::pulse-access" />
It seems, no, because my sales was approximately the same as usual for published apps, no sales drops. I got also increase in purchases last week, because of Christmas time, I think.
Oh, false alarm. Just a typo in manifest.aegis :)

Tulsa Firefighters say a neighbor helped pull a family out of their burning house.
It happened Tuesday afternoon in the 5900 block of E 24th St.
Firefighters say a fire started in the back bedroom and spread throughout the house.
An elderly couple and their daughter smelled smoke, heard smoke detectors and tried to get out of the house.
That's when a neighbor helped them escape.
The 86-year-old man and 60-year-old woman went to the hospital to be checked out for smoke inhalation.
An investigator will look into how the fire started and how much damage it caused.
Evangelist Franklin Graham prayed on a sidewalk outside the Pentagon Thursday after his invitation to a prayer service inside was withdrawn because of comments that insulted people of other religions. More>>

The capital of Canada is Ottawa, in the province of Ontario. There are offically ten provinces and three territories in Canada, which is the second largest country in the world in terms of land area.
While politically and legally an independant nation, the titular head of state for Canada is still Queen Elizabeth.
On the east end of Canada, you have Montreal as the bastion of activity. Montreal is famous for two things, VICE magazine and the Montreal Jazz Festival. One is the bible of hipster life (disposable, of course) and the other is a world-famous event that draws more than two million people every summer. Quebec is a French speaking province that has almost seceded from Canada on several occasions, by the way..
When you think of Canada, you think of . . . snow, right?
But not on the West Coast. In Vancouver, it rains. And you'll find more of the population speaking Mandarin than French (but also Punjabi, Tagalog, Korean, Farsi, German, and much more).
Like the other big cities in Canada, Vancouver is vividly multicultural and Vancouverites are very, very serious about their coffee.
Your standard Vancouverite can be found attired head-to-toe in Lululemon gear, mainlining Cafe Artigiano Americanos (spot the irony for ten points).
But here's a Vancouver secret only the coolest kids know: the best sandwiches in the city aren't found downtown. Actually, they're hidden in Edgemont Village at the foot of Grouse Mountain on the North Shore.
"It's actually worth coming to Canada for these sandwiches alone." -- Michelle Superle, Vancouver

Game 6: Utah Jazz (0-5) @ Toronto Raptors (2-4)
Game Preview / Raptors HQ (SBN) / Jazz vs Raptors coverage / Game Streams
The Utah Jazz are still searching for their first win of the season, this is something we did not have to say after the first game of the season most years. This year is not like most years. The Jazz are 12-5 against the Raps in their own gym. Let's how not to get the 5th loss there, ever, tonight. No one for Toronto is injured, Marvin Williams played last night and will not play tonight (I think). Brandon Rush played two games ago, and will not play tonight. Jeremy Evans is still mysteriously injured. Trey Burke is still healing. And Andris Biedrins is still looking for the real killers with his pal OJ.
- Point Guards: Jamaal Tinsley vs. Kyle Lowry
- Shooting Guards: Gordon Hayward vs DeMar DeRozan

Purchased second set of rims with these winter tires on the rims.
Was very skeptical about these tires. I commute 150 km per day in Saskatchewan, and this winter has been very bad for icy highway conditions. I am very please with these tires. traction was excellent while traveling on very icy highways. Vehicle did not have any problem on pure ice conditions. Van stayed on the straight path all the time. I would recommend these tires as a very good winter tire.

Getting divorced can be an emotionally wrenching -- if not downright bitter and divisive -- experience. But when it comes to divvying up marital assets, there's no reason you can't get past the pain and focus on making smart, sound decisions to ensure your long-term financial health. "Women who negotiate with their heart instead of their head can leave a lot more than necessary on the bargaining table," says Jamie Lapin, a certified divorce financial analyst in Rockville, Maryland.
The first step is mastering the financial facts of your marriage: income, pension plans, property, and other assets. Ideally, you and your husband have been sharing this information all along. If not, it's time to pore over checkbooks, brokerage statements, and tax returns -- and enlist the help of a divorce financial analyst in addition to your divorce lawyer. That costs on average about $160 an hour, but its well worth it. Even if you live in a state with laws mandating equal division of property, your spouse can always lie or hide assets, or pressure you into a deal that isn't equitable. A divorce financial analyst is more adept at uncovering any such assets and is also more knowledgeable about evaluating different investments, comparing them, and projecting how they will affect you in the future.
Then it's time to divide the spoils, starting with the largest ones -- the house and retirement plans. "Typically, the wife wants the first and the husband wants the second," says Joel Weiner, a certified financial analyst in Palatine, Illinois. "You have to run the numbers, but you generally find that the pension is the better asset." A retirement plan such as a 401(k) involves no upkeep or taxes, and stands to appreciate over time. But keeping the house means you're responsible for mortgage payments, property taxes and maintenance expenses. Nor is it a liquid investment -- that is, you can't sell a part of it if you need the money.
Selling the house before the divorce is final, however, benefits both spouses, since it entitles you to deduct up to $500,000 of the sale profits from capital gains taxes (if you sell it on your own later, you're entitled to only half the amount).
If you decide to split your pension and retirement assets, both parties have to file a qualified domestic-relations order (QDRO), a legal document that directs pension-plan sponsors how to pay out the funds. Most people don't realize that in the event of divorce, you can empty a defined contribution plan, such as a 401(k), even if you aren't the required 59 1/2 years old, without paying a tax penalty, says San Diego-based financial planner Mark Hill. Traditional pension plans paid by a company, known as defined benefit plans, generally can't be disbursed until the working spouse retires, but you can stake out a portion of that for your future. And don't forget social security. "After 10 years of marriage, you are entitled to an amount equal to 50 percent of your spouse's benefits, and he to yours," says Lapin.
Stock options should also be part of the mix. Although you may not be able to own those in your husband's name, you may be entitled to some of the proceeds when they are later exercised and sold. And remember that alimony or child support are all cash flows that could disappear if your ex dies -- unless you protect yourself by purchasing life insurance for your husband and declaring yourself the beneficiary.

Police were called to Adelaide House on Crosley Wood Road just after 4am on Saturday, where the body of a man was discovered lying on the ground outside.
Det Insp Ryan Bragg of Bradford CID said police were investigating the circumstances of his death, but did not believe there was any "third party involvement".
He said: "We were called shortly after 4am on Saturday January 18 to a report that a man had fallen from the sixth floor of a property at Crosley Wood Road, Bingley.
"The man is believed to be 20 years old and to have lived locally.
"He was treated by paramedics, but died at the scene.
"Inquiries are ongoing, but at this stage there is nothing to suggest any third party involvement in the death."
The man's identity has not yet been released, but floral tributes left at the scene read "RIP Moz".
A second bunch of flowers, tied to a post at the back of the building, was signed by a number of people and said: "RIP Moz. You will be missed."
Residents at the complex, which is one of a number of tower blocks on Crosley Wood Road, spoke of their shock about what had happened.
One, who did not want to be named, said: "It's just so sad. Twenty-years-old is no age at all. I've seen people stop and look at the flowers. I didn't know the man myself, but it affects you when something like this happens.
"It's a tragic thing to happen to someone so young." Another added: "I heard about what happened when I woke up on Saturday and I couldn't believe it.
"My thoughts and prayers go to the man's family. It's such a shocking thing to happen."

Fake Twitter account poked fun at Pietersen
Stuart Broad's denial of any involvement in setting up the fake Kevin Pietersen Twitter account, comes after Broad's friend Richard Bailey's claimed he set up the account.
Mr Bailey says he opened the parody Twitter account - KP Genius - laughing at Pietersen's personality in the third person. The account was later shut down after the England batsman was unhappy that some of his teammates followed it.
Mr Bailey, who says he is from Nottingham and has the Twitter name @Bailsthebadger, has said sorry for any offence he has caused and has said no professional cricketers were party to his exploits.

Register-Herald Reporter
A Scarbro man pleaded guilty Tuesday in Fayette County Circuit Court to the murder of his neighbor and was sentenced to life with mercy.
Gavin J. Williams, 26, came before Judge Paul Blake to face charges for the murder of Darrell J. Shrewsbury, an elderly man who died from multiple stab wounds to the chest and throat on Feb. 28, 2012, and was found at his residence the next day.
"I'm very satisfied with the outcome. I think justice was served in this particular case," said Larry Harrah, assistant prosecuting attorney.
"But it's a shame. It's a senseless act of violence, and it was drug-related, of course."
Williams' attorney, Scott Stanton, called the case "very sad."
"Any time there's this kind of tragedy, it's not just the victims who had that obvious loss, but the family of the accused also lose a loved one," he commented.
Several people at the home of Vanessa McGinnis on Wingrove Hill in Scarbro, where Williams lived at the time, told police at the time that they witnessed Williams come back to the residence on the evening of the murder.
They said he had blood on his hands and one heard him make comments to the effect that he had "slit his (...) throat."
One witness told police that Williams that day had taken seven or eight Klonopin pills, which is, among other things, a potent anticonvulsant and muscle relaxant.
Williams admitted to snorting prescription medication before the event.
In his confession on March 1, 2012, Williams initially denied any involvement in the man's death.
Gradually, though, he begins to recount the events that led to the murder.
Williams stated that he worked for Shrewsbury on his mobile home several months prior and that the man had eventually accused him of stealing and told him to leave.
The convicted man said it seemed like there as something wrong with Shrewsbury, so he had always tried to tolerate the man's fits of anger.
But on the evening of the murder, Williams went to Shrewsbury's house to pick up some videos of his father's. The man yelled at him to go away.
"From what I understand, the fellow suspected him of breaking into his house before and told him to get off his property, which given Gavin's state at the time, infuriated him," said Harrah.
"You would think a normal person who's not on drugs (...) would cool down, but that wasn't the case here."
Williams took his girlfriend, Jennifer Barrett, back to her house and then returned to Shrewsbury's for another confrontation. The man opened the door a crack and told him to go away and spoke harshly to him.
Williams kicked in the door and a struggle ensued, which quickly escalated.
"He grabbed me by the throat and threw me (...) and he come up to me to hit me and that's when I grabbed the knife. (...) He hurt me. I thought he was going to kill me," Williams told police.
Williams began stabbing him and "couldn't stop."
"I don't want to think about it," he told police, before expressing remorse.
The body was dragged to the rear of the trailer, where police found it covered with a small dump bed from a small tractor trailer and a piece of metal.
They also found a silver cross pendant belonging to Williams in the trailer.
Williams was convicted of burglary in February 2007 and served time in juvenile detention.
Williams must serve a minimum of 15 years before he is eligible for parole, though Harrah stresses that he's not guaranteed to get it.

If we can't plead stupidity, what else is there? How do we live with ourselves? Is it all the stuff we buy that manages to numb our brains and consciences?
When I see a headline like this one at Bloomberg today, World Needs Record Saudi Oil Supply as OPEC Convenes, there's just one thought that pops into my head: what the world needs is for us to stop doing this thing we're doing. Even apart from peak oil concerns, it's obvious we're going to run out at some point or another, and it doesn't matter whether that's tomorrow or at some other point in the future, though we do know it's not going to take another 100 years, or even 50.
And nothing will ever take the place of oil; once those unique carbons are gone, that's it, we'll have to find a completely different way of running our societies, and if we're not smart enough to prepare for that beforehand, we'll be cats fighting in a sack and use the last scraps to kill off each other. And our legacy won't be the Greek thinkers and Picasso and Dostoyevsky and Walt Whitman and Maria Callas, since there won't be the means for our children anymore to share what makes man great between them. Our main legacy will instead be bloodshed, we will have gone the exact same path that any non-thinking or even primitive organism would have taken, who don't have opera or philosophy or poetry to their name.

ANDERSON — The leaves were starting to turn along University Avenue. The main campus of Anderson University still had that sleepy feeling on Thursday, but approaching Colts Way, the mood changed entirely.
There was the low thump of the band's drum beat. The sound of Mumford and Sons, punctuated by the occasional blast of a vuvuzela, blared. You might have found yourself ducking for a Frisbee.
"This is just a great day to move in, people!" shouted junior Bizzy Weinland. She was sporting a neon security vest to help steer dazed parents into unloading spots.
Weinland was among a throng of orange-shirted volunteers, including members of the AU football team, faculty, staff and students, who staged themselves between Dunn and Rice residence halls along Colts Way. They were busily welcoming the new residents.
"This is a great time of year — one of my favorite moments of the school year," said AU communications director Chris Williams. "It's a community experience."
Another mini-van pulled in loaded up with all the paraphernalia of dorm life, a nervously excited student, and a beleaguered looking parent. Within moments of their tired arrival, the van was swarmed by orange shirts who quickly unloaded the contents onto the lawn, and then delivered it all to the dorm room.
It was a scene that was repeated over and over with bedding, duffel bags, refrigerators, speakers, lamps, printers, snack food, TV's, bicycles, backpacks and rubber totes wending their way from the parking area into the halls.
"I love the look on parents' faces when they pull in exhausted and we huddle around the car and say, 'Where do you want this?'" said volunteer and 1974 grad George Nailywaiko. "Sometimes mom bursts into tears."
Amy Byrne from Indianapolis stood by her daughter's pile of belongings as she got checked in. Once freshman Marni Byrne had her room assignment, she and mom just stood back as AU football players whisked her stash away.

KAUFMAN — Kaufman County's newest district attorney admitted she has some fears after the murder of two prosecutors there, but insists she is ready to get to work.
"Sure, I'm worried, but we have good people that are watching us," said Judge Erleigh Norville Wiley after Texas Gov. Rick Perry announced Wednesday he had chosen her to become Kaufman's next DA.
"There are all these other elected officials that are in fear for their lives," she said. "It's not just me... we're going to keep working."
Wiley, 49, will finish out the term of Mike McLelland, 63, who was killed along with his wife, Cynthia, in their Forney home on March 30.
Once the appointment is confirmed by the Texas Senate, Wiley will hold the position until the general election in 2014.
"I'm really appreciative of the governor for appointing me, for thinking I could step in this chaos that's been going on in our county," Wiley told reporters gathered outside the courthouse shortly after the announcement.
Wiley said she was surprised by the news; the governor's office called her a few minutes before the announcement was made public.
"I think I can do a good job," she said. "I was honored."
The new position thrusts her into a very high profile position after the murder of two of Kaufman's prosecutors this year. Two months before McLelland's killing, his top deputy, Mark Hasse, was gunned down in the town square.
Deputies have made no arrests in either case.
County leaders considered dozens of applicants to replace McLelland, some of whom were hesitant to accept the job.
Brandi Fernandez, an assistant district attorney in Kaufman County, held the position on an interim basis after McLelland's murder and was considered a candidate. But the governor did not indicate why he selected Wiley.
She arrives in the office with constant security surrounding her and her family. Armed officers now escort county workers into and out of the courthouse each day.
"I think I can do this and not be scared," Wiley said.
Wiley was elected to the bench in 2003 after working in the Dallas County District Attorney's office for 14 years. Born and raised in Kaufman County, she said she wanted to return home and serve her community.
She attended Texas Tech University and got a law degree from the University of Texas.
In 2008, News 8 featured her in a news story after she decided to donate a kidney to her husband, federal prosecutor Aaron Wiley. The operation was conducted on Valentine's Day.
"It wasn't a hard decision," she told News 8 at the time. "He gets the left kidney; I keep the right one."
Now she's bracing for a new challenge.
"You can't be fearful. You just have to be prayerful," she said. "You have to know that we have good people that are going to protect us until justice is done."

NTU Supports S. 156, Internet Tax Freedom
January 5, 2007
The Honorable Ron Wyden
Dear Senator Wyden, Senator McCain, and Senator Sununu:
On behalf of the more than 350,000 members of the National Taxpayers Union (NTU), I would like to extend our enthusiastic support for S. 156, the Permanent Internet Tax Freedom Act of 2007. This critically important bill would make the soon-to-expire moratorium on Internet access taxes permanent. The clock is ticking on freedom from discriminatory Internet taxation, and our members urge swift passage of S. 156.
Since its enactment in December 2004, the Internet Tax Nondiscrimination Act (ITNA) has stopped any new taxes targeted at Internet access services. This bill and its predecessors have helped to create a dynamic environment where the Internet is thriving and bringing advanced communication capabilities to millions. Keeping the burden of new government-mandated access charges off Internet service has made entry to the information superhighway more affordable for Americans from all walks of life. However, the provisions contained within ITNA are set to expire in November. If Congress doesn't act soon, taxpayers may be bombarded with an onslaught of predatory new "fees."
Any nation seeking to remain technologically and economically competitive shouldn't punish the very citizens who are reaching out into the digital realm, especially by levying charges that are unlikely to have anything to do with bettering Internet service. Taxpayers need long-term protection from state and local authorities seeking to add taxes to the various routes consumers use to access the Internet, and your bill would provide such safeguards.
Because states with grandfathered Internet taxes have sunset dates, a permanent extension of ITNA now would have the effect of eventually eliminating all state taxes on Internet access across the country. As your bill could represent one of the most far-sighted examples of tax protection legislation to come out of the 110th Congress, roll call votes on passage of S. 156 will be heavily weighted in NTU's annual Rating of Congress.

DescriptionThe Berlin Clock for Android:
Second version of the Clock! Now with Widget!
The Berlin-Uhr ("Berlin Clock") is the first public clock in the world that tells the time by means of illuminated, coloured fields, for which it entered the Guinness Book of Records upon its installation in 17 June 1975. Commissioned by the Senate of Berlin and designed by Dieter Binninger, the original full-sized Mengenlehreuhr was originally located at the Kurfürstendamm on the corner with Uhlandstraße. After the Senate decommissioned it in 1995, the clock was relocated to a site in Budapester Straße in front of Europa-Center, where it stands today.

Rarely do you find splitter cracks through large roofs in the desert, but thats exactly what R.I.L.F. has to offer for those that are willing to hike. The 8' roof is reached by a series of discontinuous finger cracks with a combination of jamming and face climbing. From under the roof a splitter #3 Camalot crack will take you out to the lip with a crux move getting established above. 10 more feet of easy climbing brings you to a ledge and the anchor.
About a 15 to 20 minute walk left from "Little Man in Suburbia". Just keep walking until you see the obvious roof splitter.

Intel CEO Paul Otellini to step down in May, leaves a legacy of x86 dominance
2 years ago
Originally posted Dec 6, 2012 on Engadget by Richard Lawler, revised for AOL by Rob Zanicchi & Joe Pollicino
Two decades and more than 8 trillion messages after the birth of SMS (Short Message Service a.k.a. text messages), it's kind of hard to believe we're still not equipped with a widespread standard to text 911 during emergencies. Talk about the ability to send messages, photos or videos to rescue coordinators has been circulating for years -- and now, it looks like the wireless industry is ready to move as one to make text-to-911 a reality across the US. The Big Four (AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile and Verizon) along with The 911 Association and the Association for Public-Safety Communications Officials International, have submitted an agreement to the FCC outlining the projected plans.
These groups will work together on standards, procedures and technology deployments that aim to provide a "seamless introduction" of the supplemental emergency system across our nation. Text-to-911 is projected to aid millions of people, including those with hearing or speech disabilities, by acting as an alternate method of communication, especially "in situations where a voice call could endanger the caller".
While they're not promising the service will be available everywhere in two years time, there are several target dates for progression. According to the plans, support for bounce-back notifications that alert texters when the service isn't available in their area will be live by June 30th, 2013, and a "commitment" date of May 15th, 2014 has been highlighted for nationwide rollouts. Throughout this year, several carriers were making individual attempts at similar service offerings. In September, AT&T announced a trial run for its subscribers in the state of Tennessee and Verizon detailed its own initiative four months earlier -- roughly a year after its 2011 debacle, when it dropped 10,000 emergency calls during an East Coast snowstorm. Now, with a joint effort by industry giants, you should be able to avoid busy signals at your time of need -- texting fingers crossed.

To Help Communities, Businesses With Hurricane Sandy, ASSE Offers Key Safety Tips, Resources
Des Plaines, IL (October 29, 2012) — To help people and businesses prepare for Hurricane Sandy the American Society of Safety Engineers (ASSE) is providing tips and lists of resources to help.
ASSE notes there are three critical phases of crisis management when it comes to dealing with a dangerous storm: vulnerability assessment, response management, and, business continuity. To prepare for contingency situations it is suggested that companies/communities integrate emergency preparedness into an organization's overall safety management system; to conduct a vulnerability assessment of the organization to determine the probability and impact of a loss; to activate an up-to-date response management plan in the face of an emergency; and, assist their organization in its efforts to recover from a crisis/disaster. Other areas to consider include being in compliance with emergency response codes; know how to garner assistance from federal and state agencies; conduct a nuclear, biological and chemical risk assessment; have an internal and external communications plan, and, emergency response training.
There is no one-size-fits-all solution, but ASSE also recommends businesses 1) do a risk assessment – this can range from self-assessment to an extensive engineering study; 2) do emergency planning – assess how your company functions, both internally and externally; 3) plan what you will do if your building, plant or store is not accessible and develop a continuity of operations plan that includes all facets of your business; 4) define procedures – define crisis management procedures and individual responsibilities in advance and make sure those involved know what their responsibilities are, train others in case you need back-up help and review your emergency plans annually; 5) coordinate with others – meet with other businesses in your building or industrial complex and talk with first responders, emergency managers, community organizations and utility providers; plan with your suppliers, shippers and others you regularly do business with; and, 6) emergency planning for employees –find out what people need to recover after a disaster as they will need time to ensure the well-being of their family. For instance, do they need shelter, medical help, food, etc.?
Following a catastrophe, ASSE suggests businesses do a hazard evaluation and assessment on structural security; safe entry; clean-up safety; air quality assessment; ventilation; interior, exterior exposures; protection equipment – for fire and smoke alarms; possible electrical hazards; health/sanitation; office furniture; lighting; solid/hazardous waste removal; power checks; mainframes; machine inspections; and surfaces to prevent falls. It is also recommended that businesses use existing federal guidelines to help resume business operations and to develop and distribute new emergency procedures.

A Good Samaritan trying to stop a group of men from assaulting two people was stabbed last week.
Police said former Army Ranger Delrick Hardcastle, who was visiting from North Carolina, saw the assault happening near General Anderson Avenue in the early morning hours of Sept. 1.
Hardcastle said he did what anyone would do.
"It was just instincts. I wasn't really thinking most of the time," he said. "I don't like to see people, especially women, getting bullied and I hate gangs."
Hardcastle was going through the drive-thru of a Taco Bell restaurant in Vancouver. He stopped to talk to a female friend who was also getting food, but as she walked away, he noticed something was wrong.
"Another car pulled up beside them and I guess you could say (they) started propositioning her to do things for money," he said.
Four males jumped out of the car and began to attack the woman and her neighbor.
Hardcastle then rode over on his motorcycle to help, and he said the four men turned on him. One man took a swing at Hardcastle, but the ex-Army Ranger knocked him to the ground.
Hardcastle was then stabbed by one of the men who was armed with a 9- to 10-inch knife.
"I just felt all of this blood just gushing out my back," he said.
Hardcastle managed to get away, and used the shirt he ripped off one of his attackers to put pressure on the wound. Doctors said the knife missed his spine and kidney by only two inches.
The initial victim of the attack told FOX 12 she was grateful for Hardcastle's help.
Police have not made any arrests in the attack.
While Hardcastle was being treated in the hospital, he said his motorcycle was stolen. He's hoping tips from the public can help get it back.

Vista Systems together with Stewart Filmscreen Corp.'s Singapore office, conducted a Soft Edge Blending Seminar in Seoul, Korea on January 24 and 25 to demonstrate the capabilities of the Spyder 353 image processor. The seminar's morning and afternoon sessions at the CoEx Exhibition Hall played to full houses; additional seats were found to accommodate the invited dealers, AV consultants and end users and prospective customers from the corporate, religious, home theatre, government, education and military sectors.
Organized jointly with partner Tovi Virtual Systems Corp. with support from Wolfvision Visualizers, the seminar was covered by local broadcasting network YTN. Tae Joo Park delivered the opening address, which was followed by an introduction to soft edge blending by Stevie Ng.
Tovi's Hong Pil Park took guests through the presentation, which examined the techniques, requirements, and advantages of soft edge blending and the importance of selecting the right screen material for edge blending applications. The seminar was equipped with a Spyder system; a Stewart Filmscreen AT3 Frame System with Aeroview 70 for a 60x209-inch display surface; and three Panasonic PT D7700E 3-chip DLP projectors. Sources included Wolfvision VZ32 and VZ9Plus Visualizers; a Faroudja DVD player; a TviX HD media player; and a presentation laptop.
"The seminar, which drew packed crowds, was a big success," says Ng. "It generated a great deal of interest in Spyder and edge blending, and we had a lot of positive response."

Artist's Biography
Reverend O. L. Samuels was born in Wilcox County, Georgia, in 1931. His first creations were the toys he made to play with when he was six years old. He left home at eight years old, and worked at numerous odd jobs, learning to work with wood through these early experiences. Rev. Samuels now resides in Tallahassee, where he works out of his home. He is a self-taught, visionary artist with no formal training. His life experiences and highly personal, internal vision of the world figure prominently in his works; these often depict fantastical and mythical creatures. He builds each of his works by hand from carved pieces of wood, metal, fabric, and found objects. Reverend O. L. Samuels is a renowned sculptor, whose works have been displayed in the Smithsonian American Art Museum and The White House, as well as other notable museums throughout the country and numerous private collections.

Spring Girl Scout creates interactive photo exhibit at local libraries earn Gold Award
Houston, TX – Girl Scout Rebeca G. created an interactive photo exhibit at Barbara Bush Library and Tomball College Library focused on cultures and religions to earn Girl Scouts of the USA's Gold Award, the highest award a Girl Scout can receive. Less than five percent of girls who join Girl Scouts achieve this national recognition.
"I learned so many things from the different cultures such as traditions, practices and beliefs held in different parts of the world," said Rebeca, a senior at Klein High School. "As a leader, I learned that you have to lead by example to inspire others to follow you."
The Girl Scout Gold Award represents the highest achievement in Girl Scouting; it recognizes girls in grades 9 through 12 who demonstrate extraordinary leadership through sustainable and measurable Take Action projects. Since 1916, girls have successfully answered the call to Go Gold, an act that indelibly marks them as accomplished members of their communities and the world.
"I chose this project because I recognized the wide variety of backgrounds and cultures in my community," said Rebeca. "I wanted to shed light onto other cultures. I also wanted to incorporate my passion for photography into the project."
For her project, Rebeca found 10 volunteers to be her subjects in the photographs. She followed each person, photographing their customs, rituals and beliefs. Rebeca then led a team of volunteers in putting together display panels and setting up the photography exhibit at each library. She estimates more than 500 people saw her exhibit at each library.
"Rebeca learned to effectively coordinate and hone her skills, learned time management and learned leadership," said Brenda G., Rebeca's mother. "The most notable change we have seen in her since she finished the project is self confidence in knowing how to start a project, follow up and follow through until it is finished."
Rebeca has been a member of Girl Scouts for 13 years. At Klein High School she is a member of yearbook and previously was a member of orchestra. Outside of school she is a servant leader in youth ministry at Prince of Peace Catholic Community. Following graduation she plans to attend college to study photography.
About Girl Scouts of San Jacinto CouncilGirl Scouts of the USA is the world's preeminent organization for girls, with a membership of more than 3.7 million girls and adults. Girl Scouting builds girls of courage, confidence, and character, who make the world a better place.
