Harry Potter Cast Stuck Buying Book 5 Like Rest of UsNews
May 14, 2003, 08:28 AM
There's Wicked Whispers in today's Daily Mail about the cast from the Harry Potter films attempts to get a hold of Book 5:
The regular cast of the Harry Potter films has been rebuffed, after asking for preview copies of the new J. K. Rowling book, The Order Of The Phoenix, due out next month.
One of them Richard Griffiths, who plays Uncle Vernon Dursley, tells me:'We were told by the publishers to buy the book like the rest of the country.
But, of course, we all have a vested interest because we could well be in a film version of the new book.'

I guess there is no explanation for some things in life. For example some of the bloggers on this forum will never stop finding a reason to twist proof, facts and avoid plain common sense to explain away why Tyler needs to go back to the front lines in Korea and protect us there from North Koreas nukes rather than nuking everyone here that he does not like..... using the power of the Victoria Countys DA's office. If Tyler is your guy why are you not standing on street corners holding one of his signs campaigning for him. Not afraid you will get your booty run over are you?October 30, 2010 at 5:52 a.m.
The issue is NOT whether District Attorney Steve Tyler or Special prosecutor Terry McDonald or for that case any prosecutor who rules on ANY cases in Victoria, the real issue is.. Offenders will be let off due to a technicality or lack of evidence. The post is not attacking Mr. Tyler, what is stated is: I'm sure he does his all to bring these people to justice and wants to hold them accountable for their actions, HOWEVER, why are they ALL let off? It is one thing to accuse and have numerous Facts, witness and proof of these offenses and another to PROSECUTE these offenders. Right now Victoria does not have a good track record in achieving this! This is not only questing actions by our city officials but also remember all our shady VISD superintendents that were dismissed due to poor results and had to be paid off to buy out their contracts.October 28, 2010 at 12:24 p.m.
How about it "will?" do tell us about this horrible experience.. it seems like many law enforcement agencies are using social networks to reach out to citizens. Seems cutting edge to me... Maybe you should also lodge complaints on law enforcement agencies such as Houston PD, Toronto PD, as they too "play" on Facebook. I see that VPD has been identifying suspects via Facebook lately. In spite of nay sayers and an anti cop DA, the crime rate is being reduced via inventive ways and hard work. My hat is off to VPD and it's officers!October 28, 2010 at 11:46 a.m.
Will, It's easy to call someone a liar, but you have to back up your claim. Just saying it does not make it so. You say you had and encounter with him then please share how he lied. If you can not do this then I expect VICAD to remove your post.October 28, 2010 at 11:20 a.m.
This comment was removed by the site staff for violation of the usage agreement.October 28, 2010 at 10:52 a.m.
oxymoron....Smith is moving forward with his appeal because the prosecution is moving forward and he is trying to head that off.
Perhaps the Advocate could get a response from the special prosecutor as to the status of the case and what his intentions are.
My belief is that, since it has not been dismissed, its still on the docket, so it's going forward. Maybe the Advocate does not want people to think about that before the election??October 28, 2010 at 8:36 a.m.
Steve Tyler chooses to shoot from the hip rather than work together with officials to get things done. He has chosen to shoot at everyone around him in attempt to distract from his poor choices and inept job performance. He's been shooting in all directions, wasting his time and taxpayer dollars on his frivoulous strategies, and he's now out of bullets.October 28, 2010 at 8:31 a.m.
I'm still waiting for his explaination for hiring a child molester while such person was under investigation for such hideous acts.
Hey Wake Up!!! Just cause these people were found not Guilty....does not mean they weren't!! What about OJ Simpson...think he was guilty?? Case Closed!!! By the way, Steve does not like me, But I follow the law....So I am not to worried!October 28, 2010 at 8:19 a.m.
KCi said "Apparently be believes there is sufficient evidence to convict and that's why he's going forward."
Show me where he is going forward. I have heard nothing in a long time about this case since the specical prosecuter took over. Seems to me he is just sitting on it hoping it goes away and this blak mark that Tyler created just continues to loom over Victoria not going in either direction.
Smith is moving forward so that he can get his name cleared and not have this cloud over him anymore.
I would have liked to seent hem all go to trial so that Victoria would have seen the truth for what it was, but Tyler and now the special prosecuter keep dropping the ball somewhere and it never gets to trial. hmmmm maybe cause there is nothing there to take to trial.October 28, 2010 at 8:18 a.m.
mikeberman..what part of SPECIAL PROSECUTOR do you not understand? It's not about Tyler anymore. The special prosecutor has had the opportunity to dismiss the charges if he did not believe in them. Apparently be believes there is sufficient evidence to convict and that's why he's going forward. And that's why the defense attorney is grasping at straws.
I, too, look forward to this case coming to trial very soon....but I think the outcome may be very different from what you envision.October 28, 2010 at 8 a.m.
kCi: Steve charges Echeverry.. NOT Guilty. Steve charges Mayor.. Indictment DISMISSED.. Steve charges Police Chief.. Indictment DISMISSED.. Steve appeals Police Chief's ruling.. State appeal panel said he ABANDONED HIS APPEAL and again he LOST. Hiis batting score against VPD and public officials is 0 PERCENT. Mr. Smith and the police Lieutenant will be exonerated very, very soon. Even the most simplest of logic prevails on this topic: Tyler uses his office to go after those he don't like.... Oh, but he eventually loses EVERY time. Wake up!October 28, 2010 at 7:27 a.m.
Steve Tyler has not made Victoria the laughing stock of Victoria as Mikeberman claims. Some Victorians and their actions did! Wake Up and stop blamming others!October 28, 2010 at 7:06 a.m.
So...this case is still continuing with the SPECIAL PROSECUTOR? Very interesting. Some people seem to be missing the point that Tyler is no longer on the case...it's out of his hands.
That simple fact seems to blow a mighty big hole in the accusations of Tyler conducting a vendetta against city officials. Here we have an special prosecutor, brought from outside the city (and called for by Tyler's critics) reviewing the case and going forward with it.
The defense attorney is just now filing yet another appeal? Wasn't the fact that the two men he mentioned were in the grand jury room known before this week? Why file now?? Oh yea...the city council gave him a blank check for defense costs...wonder how much he charged the city for his work on this appeal?
Regardless of the outome of Tuesday's election...this case is going forward. Filing YET another appeal sounds like the defense attorney (and Smith) are pretty desperate for this case not go to trial. Wonder why?
Where are the comments attacking the special prosecutor for doing his job? Where are the editorials railing against the injustice of city officials being prosecuted?October 28, 2010 at 5:43 a.m.
What part of special prosecutor do you not get. Tyler is not on the case any more. An independent prosecutor appointed by the court reviewed the file and believes perjury occurred. The defendant is not asking that the indictment be thrown out because he didn't lie, he is asking that it should be thrown out over a technicality that being there were extra witnesses to the lie. If the special prosecutor felt there was not probable cause to believe they lied he would be legally obligated to dismiss. Tyler not in charge of this case and it is still going forward to prosecution. That is if the court doesn't play buddy buddy again and help these crooks out.October 27, 2010 at 10:15 p.m.
No matter how guilty a Victoria city official is... Victoria's prosecuting attorney and not a politician will mess up and use alot of taxpayers monies to do alot of nothing. Same old story in Victoria and we should not be surprised if these offenders are let off. So the question is, do we still want the same results? Your vote does count so use it...October 27, 2010 at 10:13 p.m.
A vote for Steve is a vote for letting the bad guy get away, and going after the ones that are out there trying to catch them!October 27, 2010 at 9:19 p.m.
FOUR more years of this?!?! Steve "I'm not a Politican" has made us a laughing stock in Texas. It's time he stopped playing his revenge games with the "house's" (OUR'S!) money.October 27, 2010 at 9 p.m.

LEFT: W/ Enzo Pineda. RIGHT: W/ an EZ Lube model. This was funny because when we first saw him, we were screaming like hyenas because we thought he was damn good-looking. But uh, as you can see, that's not really so... HAHA! So we realized that we were blinded by his abs. I mean just look at that! (Well you can't see the full view, but you can get the picture LOL) And yes, I didn't like how I look. So please stare at the awful smiley instead.
- Funny Bones = Basically, girls use the bodies of their handsome male partners as their own sort of Twister-like mat. LOL. It was hilarious! Just look at this:
- Fruit Passing = Passing a fruit to their guy partner using their mouth. Accidental kisses were of course, expected.
- Sticker Thingy = This is the game where Celine joined and... won! HAHA! It was a game where you simply putas many stickers on the guy's bodies but my best friend there was just in such a competitive mode—well she always is, haha!—so I did expect her to win! That scored her a chance to take pictures with the EZ Lube models (the one with 'wings' and exposed abs, LOL)
- Speed Shots = Girls were tasked to take shots from in between the models' legs. (Yessss, ladies and gents, these all have 'Cosmo' written all over it! HAHA!)
- Matching Game = where I joined... and did I regret it! Haha! It was fun, yes, but I was so exhausted each and every time that I tried to think of Cosmo-y answers to the questions! (And do know that this was the longest of the games!). I wasn't thinking hard because I wanted to win; I just didn't want to embarrass myself and be the loser of the batch when it comes to witty answering! In the end, one of the game-joiners (a staff from the Candy magazine team; the girl in black in the picture below) won, as she was favored by Enzo Pineda (the mystery guy).
Playful Cosmo Model HAHA!
Met a new friend that night too! Jen! But she left early.
And my favorite photo from the party:
But oh! Before I end this, let me show you the loot bags that we were given!
- Cosmo.ph Gallery
- CosmoTV
Saw myself at 00:14, 00:41, and 01:44 (what am I doing?! Obviously, messing around with the host, but waaaaa!! Haha!). And Celine at 01:37 (when she won the game!)

Town Square
The other side of the Atherton election's profit/loss
Original post made by CPA on Oct 24, 2012
The police contract is the biggest part of Atherton's expenses. It's a huge issue.
But what about Atherton's revenues?
Since Atherton doesn't have businesses in town generating sales tax, it is severely hampered in terms of generating revenues to offset its expenses.
Atherton tried using a road impact fee. Real estate development is Atherton's largest industry, and a multi-billion dollar one. The developer on the finance committee makes millions on each house he develops (and continued doing so while on the finance committee).
But Elizabeth Lewis, who is in the commercial real estate business, and has been endorsed and received campaign contributions from real estate developers in addition to cops, made sure that road impact fee was rescinded.
She claimed it was illegal. She had help. At the time, Charles Marsala, also a darling of the Atherton developer community (and his garage cabinet company undoubtedly the recipient of work orders from them), was instrumental in defeating the road impact fee as well.
But if that's the case, that it's illegal, why does Los Altos Hills have it?
Guess what. Cary Wiest is also in the real estate industry.
These two candidates want to make sure Atherton taxpayers foot the largest possible bill they can, both in terms of giving the most to the cops (the largest expense), and favoring their real estate colleagues in terms of taking the least from them to offset these huge expenses.
on Oct 24, 2012 at 12:40 pm
Didn't McKeithen also vote to refund the Road Impact Fee. Dobbie opposed- right? What was McKeithe's motive?
Wasn't her motive the same as all the others-- the fee was excessive, not justified, and the town was caught doing an illegal activity of overcharging?
And with three votes WMD could have reinstated the fee in the last to years, why not?
It is probably illegal.
Or WMD could have even put it on the ballot for next month. Why didn't they?
Yes Los Altos Hills has one, but probably less than 30 cities in the state have them. Why not more?
LAH gets away with it because it charges much less than Atherton was charging. No one wants to spend the money challenging the smaller fee.
What we have is WMD don't want to work to renew Parcel Tax or get a Road Impact Fee tax passed by a full vote of the residents, but they do want to build a county Library in the park and they want the ability to raise other taxes without town votes.
on Oct 24, 2012 at 1:10 pm
Did McKeithen cost Atherton a solid revenue source with the loss of the Road Impact Fee?
McKeithen voted to refund and terminate the Road Impact Fee, she has not tried to get in re-instated in the last two years, even though she has the votes of the WMD team.
What happened to the Road Impact Fee, Atherton had it for years and no-one complained. Around 2007 the Finance Committee, which McKeithen was senior member, recommended the council approve a 40% increase. By a 3-2 vote the council approved the increase.
At that point people complained. Suddenly the council gets rid of the whole thing and never tries to bring it back.
Maybe if the council voted no by a 3-2 vote, Atherton would still have the Road Impact fee.
on Oct 24, 2012 at 2:04 pm
I guess you don't recall the 3-2 vote in which Carlson, Lewis and Marsala wanted to give a 100% refund to their developer friends, but McKeithen and Dobbie blocked that since a 2/3 vote was required. The city attorney, Wynne Furth, who was in the pocket of CLM, even said CLM could undo that 2/3rd requirement. But, before they could, an outcry of town residents developed, led by Mike McPherson, against CLM, and a reduced refund was granted.
This proves my point.

Frazier homers!

Long balls are the order of the day it would appear.
Zero chance the Reds miss the playoffs!
Frazier better not sit down, he may melt the bench.
Put in some backups for Cueto's game, and Xavier Paul and Miguel Cairo both hit homeruns. That's when you know things are good.
Cozart was safe.
Come on back, Brandon. LOL. He was heading to first.
Zero chance the Reds miss the playoffs!
Same pitch 3 times in a row. Swing and a miss.
I see Jay didn't want to play this afternoon.
Did he throw a strike to Jay? Didn't look like it.
Zero chance the Reds miss the playoffs!
Those fans in the front row got to hear their share of BP profanity.

GAINESVILLE, Fla. (WDRB) -- The score is little more than sidebar. Florida beat Kentucky 69-52 Tuesday night.
But the bigger loss may have happened with 8:03 to play when the Wildcats' fantastic freshman, Nerlens Noel, doing what he has done all season, hustling back to try to stop a fast break, landed awkwardly on his left leg before his knee crashed into the basket support.
Writing about basketball games, wins and losses, points and rebounds, is difficult after injuries like that.
Noel went to the court, screaming, grinding his head against the court. ESPN's cameras zoomed tight on his face. It must have been tough to watch. The older I get, the less I have a stomach to look. An injury to any player is difficult. But an injury to someone with Noel's promise and his future, frankly, is even more difficult to deal with.
I'm glad John Calipari said what he said after the game. Because I'm sure a lot of other people feel the same way, myself included.
"I'm physically sick right now for him," Calipari said.
These guys are more than players, they are people. They're not, as Calipari so often says, machines. After the game, Calipari gathered is team in the locker room and said a brief prayer.
Nobody knows Noel's condition. WDRB video shot by Steve Andress showed Noel's left knee appear to buckle to the inside. Another video, shot by Gainesville TV outlet GTN, shows the knee clearly appear to dislocate to the inside, and Noel reach down in an attempt to pop it back into place before falling.
UK confirmed Noel was taken to Shands Hospital in Gainesville. Andy Staples of Sports Illustrated said Noel was carted out of the arena in a wheelchair, a towel draped over his head.
Calipari said he expected Noel to return to Lexington with the team after being examined Tuesday night. An update from a UK spokesman at 10:30 p.m. said there was no further news, with none further expected Tuesday night.
Calipari went to Noel immediately when he fell and stayed beside him as he screamed. He lingered a little longer than he might over an in-game injury.
"He was yelling and screaming, that's why I stayed," Calipari said. "It's unfortunate, I just hope and pray that he's okay."
"I didn't see much," Calipari said of the injury. "It looked ugly. . . . What I'm hoping is it's not the extreme."
Florida center Patric Young told The Palm Beach Post: "His leg was wobbly, the knee looked dislocated. It was gruesome. I don't want to think about it."
And honestly, it's too early, before the injury or its severity is known, to think about what it means to this team. Noel is the center of this team in more than just position. He is its central personality and playmaker.
Billy Donovan said that through his energy, more even than his talent, Noel has earned wide respect among SEC coaches.
"I admire the way he plays and I admire his energy," Donovan said. ". . . If you think about it his injury came from a hustle play and it embodies who he is as a player."
Both before and after Noel's injury, UK as a team looked out of sync in this game. Afterward, a frustrated Julius Mays said his team played with "no togetherness."
But there was one moment of togetherness.
Unprompted, when it came time for Noel to try to get off the court, UK players rallied around him to carry him off as a group: Mays to his right, Archie Goodwin supporting his left, Alex Poythress and Willie Cauley-Stein flanking them along with Kyle Wiltjer, all of them stopping as they reached the tunnel to huddle together.
You hope it's not the last time they'll huddle like that as a complete group.
"We're just going to pray for him and hope for the best," Wiltjer said. "He's a vital part of our team."Copyright 2013 WDRB News. All Rights Reserved.

The Texas Department of Transportation or TxDOT is still monitoring East Texas roads.
Several trucks spent the day in Van Zandt County fighting sleet and freezing rain.
Along I20 near Canton, you'll find many cars covered in ice. TxdDOT has been in Van Zandt County since Thursday, working 12 hours shifts to fight off ice on bridges and over passes. "We thought we were going to get a break when it dried up and quit raining on us. We did get a couple of hours, but since then we've had just enough to warrant us to stay here and keep working on the roads," said Larry Krantz, Public Information Officer for Texas Department of Transportation. Now sand covers the overpasses of East Texas. TxDOT says East Texas has been fortunate compared to the North Central parts of Texas, but with freezing temperatures, roads can still be dangerous."We've been pretty lucky here in East Texas, but that doesn't mean we are out of the woods. We are going to keep working on it," said Krantz.Professional truck driver James Gumonds says he's seen the worst of it."Down through Ft. Worth , Northwest, if you're heading that way, just absolutely forget about it," said Gumonds. His truck has seen better days, after making a trip from Abilene that took him over 26 hours to make- a travel that typically takes him just 7 hours. "Here it's a super highway. There it's an ice rink. Trucks are going 5-10 miles an hour and sliding off the road," said Gumonds. TxDOT says they are doing all they can to avoid roads being turned into ice rinks."It's our job to make sure we go out there and deal with it as effectively as we can," said Krantz.
TxDOT is sending several equipment crews from all over East Texas to the harder hit cities in the DFW area.

Oklahoma State fares better in the Week 11 AP Poll than the Week 11 USA Today coaches poll, but the Cowboys are still in a better position than they've ever been before.
The No. 2 AP/No. 3 coaches Cowboys outlasted Kansas State (now No. 17 AP/No. 22 coaches) in Week 10, and will probably be in line to take the No. 2 spot in the Week 11 BCS rankings released tonight.
If Oklahoma State can run the table — and they'll have to beat No. 7 AP/No. 7 coaches Oklahoma at the end of November to do so — it's almost certain that the Cowboys will play in the BCS National Championship Game for the first time.
The fourth and final ranked Big 12 team: No. 20 coaches/No. 21 AP Texas, which has dispatched its last two opponents by a combined 95-20 score.

Also, the 24 vignettes a lot wide open, but I love that feature. You can see it in my photo above; I always leave that in and never correct it in DPP, but DPP does a great job of removing it if you want do that.Thanks Daniel, I look forward to more from you in the future but honestly having all the best lenses is going to be difficult for you to decide what to pick up and bond with
My 24 II is going to be here tomorrow. I am also getting a padded insert for my Pelican Case. While the foam is really nice for locking your equipment into place I keep changing things and lately adding things to put in the case and now with a 3rd body its going to be tight but this will be nice to have a non-foam version so i dont have to keep buying new foam section kits for it when things change for me. I have a backpack that just maxed out on usefulness and besides lugging that on your back isn't the best. I just roll away with the Pelican Case.

FGCU Hosts FAU in Final Non-Conference Contest
FORT MYERS, Fla. – The FGCU baseball team will close out the non-conference portion of its schedule on Tuesday evening at Swanson Stadium when it takes on FAU for the second time this season. First pitch is slated for 6:30 p.m.
The Eagles defeated the Owls back on April 5, taking a 9-5 decision in Boca Rotan. The visiting team has won all three meetings between the two teams.
FGCU (22-26) will look to snap a five-game losing skid on Tuesday night with a pair of crucial A-Sun weekends ahead of them. The Eagles are currently a game and half out of the sixth and final A-Sun Tournament spot with a trip to Belmont schedule for the upcoming weekend. FAU (27-19) is coming off a Sun Belt series loss at Western Kentucky and currently sit in a three-way tied for third in the league standings.
Senior Zach Maxfield (North Port, Fla./North Port HS/Pasco-Hernando CC) went 3-for-4 with a home run in April's meeting at FAU and hasn't slowed down since, swinging his way to a .394 batting average, 19 doubles, 10 home runs and 54 RBI – all team-highs. Four other Eagles sport batting averages over .300 on the season, highlighted by senior Mikel Alvarez (West Palm Beach, Fla./Palm Beach Central HS) who is chasing down Josh Upchurch's all-time hits record of 311. Alvarez is just three hits away from equaling the record.
The Owls, who own wins over Miami, UCF and Seton Hall this season, have four players hitting above the .300 mark, led by Alex Hudak's .393 average, which goes with 35 runs scored and a team-high .468 on-base percentage. Additionally, Nick Delguidice is hitting .356 with a time-best 37 RBI and Raymond Church holds a .326 mark and leads the team with 38 runs scored.
Free live audio and live stats of Tuesday night's contest can be found at www.FGCUATHLETICS.com. Admission into the game is free for faculty and stuff along with their families.

NEW YORK (AP) - A New York City police dog is being credited with helping collar a subway turnstile jumper who threw an officer to the ground.
The officer chased the fare beater as he ran from the 14th Street and Eighth Avenue subway station Wednesday evening.
Police say the suspect threw the officer to the ground and fled, leaving behind a shirt and baseball cap.
That's when Diesel, a transit K9 German shepherd, arrived. The 7-year-old pooch sniffed the clothes and headed west on 16th Street.
Diesel and Officer Edwin Ramirez then went to a second-floor of the Dream Hotel where a 32-year-old Jersey City, N.J., man was arrested. The man was charged with theft of service, resisting arrest, criminal trespass and obstructing governmental administration.
The transit officer suffered a wrist injury.

DECATUR, Ga. (AP) - A metro Atlanta man has been convicted for hiring a hit man who killed the wrong target.
Antiwan Lane Monday was found guilty of murder, felony murder and criminal solicitation in December 2011 death of Ivan Perez. Authorities have said 36-year-old Lane believed his wife was having an affair with a man named Hector Gonzalez and hired Kevin Stallworth to kill the man.
Officials say 31-year-old Stallworth instead shot his target's cousin and left evidence on the scene that led investigators back to Lane. Investigators used Stallworth's phone to track incriminating calls and text massages back to Lane.
Stallworth has pleaded guilty to murder, felony murder and aggravated assault.
Both men are being held in the DeKalb County jail and have yet to be sentenced.

This lens flare comparison was created specifically for the Canon EF-S 15-85mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM Lens Review, but will be useful for evaluation of the following lenses as well:
Canon EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 IS USM Lens
Canon EF-S 17-85mm f/4-5.6 IS USM Lens
Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Lens
Canon EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Lens
Canon EF-S 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Lens
Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8 L USM Lens
Canon EF 24-105mm f/4 L IS USM Lens
The following samples were shot with a Canon EOS 7D using the Neutral Picture Style and AV mode with -1 EV dialed in. The sun is the ultimate flare source, but I haven't figured out how to stop it from moving yet. So, the camera was repositioned for each lens/focal length combination tested - to catch the sun in the top left corner of the frame. Between the different lenses, the repositioning and the AV mode used, the exposure of some shots are darker than others. If I had know how big the difference would be, I may have made the effort to use M mode for this comparison (though it would have been a huge job - one pair of setting changes per frame would have been about 180 pairs of setting changes). My clear sky time window was short and the flare can be seen in the darker images - look a little more closely at these.
Lens hoods were installed for all shots.
Please be patient - there are about 13MB of images required to load the comparisons below. When they are loaded, the mouseclick bars will function properly.
Flare appears differently from lens to lens and can change dramatically from focal length to focal length, so it can be hard to make accurate judgements. However, the clear loser in this comparison is the otherwise excellent EF-S 17-55. Flare is a definite weakness for this wide-aperture lens. The EF-S 17-85 would be my next-worse pick - primarily flaring on the wide end. The EF-S 15-85 shows marked improvement over the 17-85 overall, but at the wide end at least, probably comes up third. Here are the results - make your determinations:

---- — BEEKMANTOWN — Four candidates have made the cut for the post of Beekmantown Central School superintendent.
The public can get to know them a bit at forums set for Tuesday and Wednesday in the High School auditorium.
Seven superintendent hopefuls were interviewed in the first round, then the School Board selected the four to advance to the second round of the search.
They are Dr. David Glover, superintendent of Morristown Central School in St. Lawrence County; Lisa Grenville, who recently stepped down as principal of Brasher Falls High School in St. Lawrence County to become supervisor of special education at the St. Lawrence-Lewis Board of Cooperative Educational Services; Daniel Mannix, deputy human resource director and labor relations specialist for Champlain Valley Educational Services; and Christopher Mazzella, principal of Peru Secondary School.
"I'm pretty excited, actually, about the response we've had and the quality of candidates that we're moving forward with, so I think it will be a good, positive direction for our district," said Beekmantown Central School Board President Debbie Passno.
Two candidates will present on Tuesday and the other two on Wednesday, one at 7:30 p.m. and another at 8:30 p.m. each day.
They will each be given one hour to speak, the first 20 minutes dedicated to their education and experience. During the following 20 minutes, they will share their visions for the district, and the remaining time will be used as a question-and-answer period.
After the presentations, attendees will have an opportunity to provide the board with written feedback about the candidates.
Passno said she hopes a good number of community members will attend the forums and provide input.
Also on Tuesday and Wednesday, the candidates will tour the school and meet with the board, as well as a stakeholder committee, which comprises Beekmantown Central staff and community members.
The board will consider the feedback of its own members, along with that of the stakeholder committee and forum attendees, when deciding which candidates will advance to the third and final round of the search.
The finalist chosen as the next BCSD superintendent will replace Scott Amo, district leader of six years. He will retire from the post on Aug. 14.

MSNBC's Bashir Warns GOP 'Playing Dirty' with 'Voter Restriction Laws'
By Ken Shepherd | December 01, 2011 | 17:29
Acting as a televised press release for the Democratic National Committee, MSNBC's Martin Bashir today brought on DNC chairwoman Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (Fla.) to argue that new voter ID laws in several states of the Union are an attempt by Republicans to "suppress" the votes of "minorities" and college-aged voters, two groups that historically trend Democratic.
True to MSNBC form, no Republican was brought on for rebuttal and the most cynical and racist of motives were attributed to Republicans right out of the gate (MP3 audio available here; video posted after page break)
"The 15th Amendment says, 'The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged,' so, why does the Democratic National Committee feel the need to launch a new effort to protect this most sacred right?" Bashir asked in his introductory monologue prior to interviewing Wasserman Schultz.
The constitutional amendment that Bashir referenced, you may notice, was a post-Civil War Amendment safeguarding the right of citizens to vote regardless of "race, color, or previous condition of servitude."
From the get-go Bashir was hinting that Republicans are seeking to abridge the rights of blacks to vote.
"Republicans have introduced laws in at least 40 states that would make voting more difficult," Bashir ominously warned, voicing over an on-screen graphic showing those states shaded in yellow and entitled [emphasis mine] "Voter Restriction Laws Proposed or Passed."
What's more, Bashir complained, "today they're voting on a bill that would decimate the Election Assistance Commission, the last line of defense against electoral fraud." With that preface out of the way, Bashir introduced the DNC chairwoman and tossed out the first softball:
"What is the EAC and what happens to it if this Republican-backed bill were to pass?" Bashir asked.
"Well, the EAC, like you said, is the last line of defense for making sure that voter fraud is investigated and that there are consequences for engaging in that," Schultz answered, charging the GOP for hypocrisy in "attempt[ing] to abolish the commission" even as the GOP has complained about voter fraud and responded with "voter suppression laws."
"These voter suppression laws that have passed around the country, Martin, have just been unbelievable," Wasserman Schultz groused. At no point did Bashir challenge her specious rhetoric or pose challenges to her reasoning.
For example, Wasserman Schultz said that while "for a student in Texas, even a state university-issued ID is not acceptable as a photo ID" but that a "gun license" is.
As I've demonstrated in a previous NewsBusters post, college IDs in Texas don't list addresses or dates of birth, while concealed carry permits do. What's more, to OBTAIN a student ID at the University of Texas, Austin, for example, one needs to prove who s/he is by showing up at the registrar's office with, you guessed it, a government-issued photo ID.
"It's very transparent who they're trying to block from the polls and who they're trying to block from the polls and who they want to smooth the path for," the DNC chief insisted.
In other words, Texas Republicans want conservative gun-toters to vote but not liberal-leaning college kids, but she has no evidence to present to back up her claim. An objective journalist would have a healthy skepticism about Wasserman Schultz's claims, but Bashir let that comment slide.
Bashir briefly played devil's advocate by noting that "we do have to produce a photo ID when we go to an airport," so, "what's the big issue with photo IDs?"
After Wasserman Schultz responded that it was an "obstacle" to get "certain kinds of people to the polls," Bashir took at turn at partisan flame-throwing on behalf of the Democrats.
"And of course you'll know that Herman Cain's campaign manager, the disheveled smoker Mark Block, had been found guilty for his role in voter suppression in Wisconsin, so I guess Herman Cain won't be in favor of your approach, will he?" Bashir snarked.
On top of his partisan hackery, Bashir got his facts wrong. Block was never convicted of any crime but he did reach a settlement in 1997 with the Wisconsin State Elections Board, paying a $15,000 fine "without admitting guilt" to an allegation of violating a state campaign finance law.

MLK is rolling over in his grave... providing proof that your vote is legal is NOT too much to ask. In fact it's a gross dereliction of our governments duty (and it's citizenry) to even entertain that thought. The idea that something so precious as our votes could be so easily diluted is outrageous. Americans frequently have to prove their identity for many many things far less important than voting.
Once again the dipsticks have managed to move the goalposts. Now we have to struggle just to achieve the most fundamental of lowest common denominators. Congrats Leftwingers... the bar sinks ever lower.

The purpose of these laws IS to suppress the vote, the votes of people who are voting fraudulently.

#27 Voter ID's

Someone needs to tell Mr. Bashir that the "poor" get food stamps and other welfare essentials, and that the "poor" MUST already have a State Photo ID before they can get ANY of these services! There's no logical reason that they can't use this same State ID to vote!

#28 Voter ID
Submitted by DixT on Fri, 12/02/2011 - 11:35am.
Here in Colorado Voter ID Laws work quite well. The only two counties that "balk" at these laws are Denver County and Pueblo County---both heavily Democrat Counties. Recently a Judge sided with these two counties, in that they DO NOT have to follow Colorado State Voting Laws!!! Actually, this is a scandal, when a Judge tells two counties that they do not have to abide by the Voter Laws of their state! Ouch! We finally have a Republican Secretary of State, who last year just happened to find 12,000 "illegal" voters---5,000 of which voted in November of 2010! Have any questions of which counties the bulk of those "illegal voters" came from?????

All the democrats who don't want ID to vote should also not require ID to draw money from their bank accounts. That way I can go to their bank, say I am them and just withdraw all the money. How F'in hard is it to show an ID? What ultra maroons.

We've heard stories of shocking comments on restaurant receipts before, but this one is a little different.
"And then I noticed the baby stopped crying and I kind of like my ears kind of perked up and said, 'Well, I know why babies stop crying instantly,'" Waitress Bodi Kinney said.
Kinney was serving a young family at a Des Moines, IA, pizza place when the mom started breast feeding her 1-year-old. The mom was worried this would upset some people, but she said it's what she had to do.
In fact, the mother didn't upset anyone.
The waitress said she was actually impressed by the mom, so she paid for the family's pizza and wrote on the receipt "I bought one of your pizzas. Please thank your wife for breastfeeding."
"And I read it several times, and tears started welling in my eyes, and I thought, 'I can't believe that this just happened,'" the mother, Jackie Johnson-Smith, said.
An image of the receipt with that message on it has since gone viral.

Columbia (30-3) pulled away in the second half en route to a 19 point win over Butler (25-8), who last won the state championship in 1966.
For Columbia, a metro Atlanta school, the 56-37 win was the program's second consecutive title and fourth since the 2006 season under head coach Phillip McCrary.
Butler, located in Augusta, trailed by eight at the half, but was able to muster only 15 second half points as Columbia gradually pulled away.
Tahj Shamsid-Deen led Columbia with 22 points on 9-14 shooting and four assists. 13 of those points came in the first quarter as Columbia led from buzzer-to-buzzer.
Chris Washington scored 14 points to lead Butler. Dan Lambert also chipped in 12 in the losing effort.

Dear Committee Members: A novel~ Julie Schumacher (author) More about this product
From a review in Inside Higher Ed: "'It's a difficult time in higher education,' Schumacher said, 'and I hope the book points that out in a way that's not painfully moralistic.'
Far from it: from the satirical perspective of the aggrieved Fitger, Schumacher delineates very real problems and renders them hilarious without trivializing their human impact. Readers who are themselves tasked with writing entirely too many letters of recommendation may well wish they could write some like Fitger's; failing that, they are likely to enjoy reading his."
"By the novel's end, no solutions have been offered nor any problems solved."
"The newspaper's new project isn't trying to pick the best colleges. It's more interested in how well they attract underprivileged students. ... 'Our project is much more of an analysis than it is any attempt at a comprehensive ranking,' says David Leonhardt, who heads The Upshot, the "Times" division that will produce the new ratings."
Other rankings "'are all attempts at some kind of comprehensive overview,' Mr. Leonhardt said in a follow-up interview on Thursday. What The Upshot plans to unveil, starting with the findings being released at the September conference, is a 'a more targeted look,' based on particular slices of data. 'We're not trying to do a comprehensive, throw-everything-in look at colleges.'"
This report, published by the Canadian Association of University Business Officers (CAUBO), is worthy of a look.
"In spite of the concerns raised the conclusions of the report may be seen as positive. While there has never been and will never be sufficient funding available to instantly eliminate the problem, strategies are indeed available to proactively manage it.
While five specific strategies are enumerated, they can be summarized in a single, overarching consideration" ... .
Too long to post the entire list here.
"Seven universities are working on a year-long planning project to improve student success thanks to $225,000 grants from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. ...
Each university is working on a number of different strategies, but enough of them have some overlap that they can help each other as they go along. For example, The University of Akron and Portland State University are both working on credentialing knowledge, while The University of Akron and Georgia State are working on adaptive learning, among other things."
Each institution's goal for the grant is briefly described. We think these projects will yield useful lessons learned for others.

The story of the evolution, use, and assessment of the Creativity Centre at the University of Brighton is a valuable resource for campus communities exploring the potential of spaces that nurture creative learning, creative learners. In this posting, the Learning Spaces Collaboratory concisely summarizes some of the key points in the 136-page document, specifically for academic leaders, managers, and administrators.The Collaboratory has a forthcoming webinar on September 16, "Transforming, Sandboxing, Repurposing Learning Spaces for Nurturing Creative Learning, Creative Learners: Lessons Learned from the LSC Experience."
"Colleges and universities are charged with providing a safe environment for students, faculty, staff and visitors. Accordingly, nearly all colleges and universities—public and private—have adopted policies that prohibit or severely restrict firearm possession on their campuses.
These gun-free policies have helped make postsecondary education institutions some of the safest places in the country. According to the U.S. Department of Education, the number of homicides on U.S. college campuses is typically less than 25 deaths per year. Additionally, the department has placed the overall homicide rate on college campuses at .07 per 100,000 persons.1
In comparison, the homicide rate in the United States for persons aged 17 to 29 is 14.1 per 100,000 persons, a rate 200 times that in the college population."
The Green Apple Day of Service, which will take place on Saturday, Sept. 27, 2014, gives parents, teachers, students, companies and local organizations the opportunity to transform all schools into healthy, safe and productive learning environments through local service projects. Be sure to check out project ideas, pick up helpful event resources, read about last year's impact, find an event in your area and register your 2014 project today!
This September event is closely tied to October 22's twelfth annual Campus Sustainability Day.

"It wasn't our intent, I just want to be clear about that now, it was not our intent to destroy universities. That's not why we did it. We want to change universities, and we want them to work for the better.
Thinking in Models: for Design, for Learning…
A large part of this talk is about that change. It's interesting. We go from the first slide about people wanting to be relevant, wanting universities to be relevant, all the way to the last slide about what's going to replace universities, without doing all the thinking that we need to do in between. We need to do this thinking in between.
Let's begin our thinking with where the current trends, we're told, are going. We're told there will be tiered service models at universities. We're told there will be analytics and data-driven management. We're told there will be alternative credentials. To a certain degree, all of these three things are true.
To a certain degree, none of these three things are going to work themselves out in the way that the economist or economists or education reformers predict. When you look at that, basically it's like they have this model or design in their head of how we could rebuild the university system, wipe it all out, start over, and we'll have a new model.
Figure 1 - workflow process employed to assist LMS selection
This model of accountability and cost frameworks and all of that will solve all the problems that the current system has. Models are popular in education too. Here's a model (Figure 1) of a workflow-processed employee to assist LMS selection. You can't really read the small writing there. It goes from enrollment to program administration to learner interactions to content creation to assessment.
It's a fishbone diagram. If you're in economics or business, you're probably familiar with it.Models of how to select educational technology including customized lists of LMS features, a way of picking among those 305 features of a learning management system that you might want to solve the educational problems at your institution."
You really need to read this. Or at least skim it. This is not your ordinary POV. "I criticize Coursera. I criticize the Stanford MOOCs and all of that, but when Norvig and Thrun launched their artificial intelligence MOOC, in the first week, 150,000 people signed up. Overall, I think it was something like 250,000 people signed up for one course, a really hard course that's really difficult to understand, in artificial intelligence.
Forget the fact that a lot of them dropped out. A lot of them didn't. Tens of thousands finished. This, by itself, indicates that the old model wasn't working. There was such a pent-up demand for upper-level university courses in artificial intelligence that, when one was finally made available, people knocked down the doors trying to get to it."
A new report from the American Academy of Pediatrics says delaying the day may help teens get more rest.
Makes all the sense in the world that this carries on into college or university years. Does any university start its earliest classes at 9 am or later?
Old-fashioned media—books, tapes, CDs, etc.—are governed by the first-sale doctrine, a legal provision that allows a buyer to do whatever she wants with a copy.
The licensing of digital media, however, gives publishers far more power. Instead of selling an album outright, they can sell permission to access its contents for a fixed amount of time. (This is a boon for textbook publishers in particular. Under a digital regime, they may not have to worry about losing sales to students buying used copies.)
The licensing model stands to become the norm as physical media get phased out, says Mr. Hoek. "This isn't just a music problem," he says. Anything made of "ones and zeroes" can be kept on a leash.
Even as SCUP takes a deep, hard look at how it licenses its knowledge content, that kind of deep, hard look by publishers is worrying college and university librarians:
As more and more books, videos, and sound recordings are licensed and distributed through online-only means, the amount of materials available for libraries to collect is shrinking.
Members of the Society for College and University Planning can access digital versions of this new research report on the report's main information page, http://www.scup.org/SM-2014PerryChapman. Nonmembers may view a complimentary ten-page excerpt there, or purchase the book there as well.
This new report, second in the series, addresses the larger context of the university campus and students' perceptions and experiences of their learning at the tertiary level more generally. Rather than starting from environmental psychology or behaviorist models, it explores the value of applying contemporary approaches from the social sciences to learning space design, an approach increasingly being developed. This, however, is not just a matter of applying a different research method; it also concerns the underlying problem of how we conceptualize relationships between material space and its occupation both generally and specifically in relationship to learning. In fact, over the last few years, theorists across many disciplines that deal with material space—such as geography, anthropology, and science and technology studies—have been critically examining precisely this issue of rethinking how to conceptualize the interrelationships between space, people, artifacts, and activities.
About the 2013–2014 Perry Chapman Prize Research Team
"Ekman: Because they are more nimble than bigger, more bureaucratic institutions, small colleges can both preserve their essential elements and be responsive to change. Remember that the model of the small college has a track record of real success, and it would be foolish to discard it simply to go along with the latest fads. By most measures, small colleges do better than other types of institutions."
"In this installment, DiSalvio interviews Richard Ekman, president of the Council of Independent Colleges (CIC), an association of more than 600 private colleges and universities with members including selective liberal arts colleges, medium-sized independent universities, religious colleges, historically black colleges and single-sex institutions."
"According to the new research, colleges reported saving only 2 percent on average so far. That might increase to 2.2 percent when all is said and done, though, because of cuts the colleges are still making. That's pretty close to the low-end "base case" of savings consultants gave colleges, of 2.6 percent in savings, but a long way from the best-case scenario of 4 percent.while colleges may enjoy working with consultants to diagnose their problems, the consultants' recommendations end up being fairly similar. ...
'There's a playbook, so to speak, for this,' he said.
Still, he did not find a college that lost money using a consultant, only colleges that saved much less than the best-case scenario."
And : "[C]olleges in the study felt they needed consultants, and some of the projects they worked on required hundreds if not thousands of people. So they might not have been able to achieve much or any savings without the aid of consultants."

Does anyone know of any decent sources of information on network latency in the mobile environment?
I searched the web and found some suggesting that (at least the 2.5G networks) were not materially worse than dialup (250ms-500ms). I spoke to some people more familiar than I with developing mobile apps, and they told me to expect numbers more in the 1-2 seconds range. Our early testing suggests that the number might be closer to twice that (round-trip ping times between phone and server).
Aside from decent data on mobile network latency in general, I'm also looking for information on the key factors affecting the results. For example, does the network latency vary substantially by carrier? Lastly, are there technological advances over the horizon that will dramatically reduce mobile network latency?

Martinez shares Big Ten honor
Lincoln - Nebraska junior quarterback Taylor Martinez was honored Monday, as he shared Big Ten Offensive Player-of-the-Week honors.
The Husker signal caller from Corona, Calif., completed 26 of 34 passes for 354 yards and five touchdowns in Nebraska's 49-20 win in the season opener over Southern Miss. Martinez tied or set career bests in both passing yards and touchdowns, as he found 10 different receivers in Saturday's win. He guided the Huskers to their 27th consecutive season-opening win, as Nebraska racked up 632 yards of total offense, NU's best single-game total since 2007.
It is the fourth time in his career that Martinez has earned a weekly conference award, as he was selected as the Big Ten's Offensive Player of the Week following last year's win over Ohio State and was the Big 12 Player of the Week twice in 2010.
Martinez shared the honor with Michigan State running back Le'Veon Bell, who rushed for 210 yards on 44 carries against Boise State.
Martinez and the Huskers head west this weekend, as they take on UCLA Saturday evening at 6:30 p.m.

Saturday night, the UFC returned to Fox with the first event on the network of 2013 in UFC On Fox 6. In the main event, flyweight champion Demetrious Johnson defended his title against slugger John Dodson by winning a 5 round unanimous decision. Overall, the event produced a ton of excitement but left some men riding high and others looking to regroup.
Demetrious Johnson - this one is obvious as the winner of the main event, but it goes beyond that. In his last two fights, Johnson has faced the two hardest punchers of the division in Joe B and Dodson. Considering DJ's point fighting style, those are the most dangerous matches for him and he's probably clear to stand over the division for some time now.
Anthony Pettis - When Pettis knocked out Joe Lauzon at UFC 144, he was immediately in the title discussion to rematch Ben Henderson. His progress was stymied when Bendo was forced to rematch Frankie Edgar though. On top of that, he spent a year off which always hurts a fighter's relevancy. Saturday night, he did exactly what he needed to do to jump back to the top of the title picture discussion. He caught Cerrone completely off guard with his striking prowess and finished in impressive fashion. Already there are calls for him to usurp Gil Melendez's spot as next contender.
Ryan Bader - Coming into his fight against Vladimir Matyushenko, Bader was coming off one of the two most embarrassing losses of his MMA career. Going against an aging veteran he needed an emphatic win here and he got it. He won't return right to the proverbial "mix" but he's got a good chance of receiving the fight he requested against Shogun Rua.
Glover Teixeira - Prior to this event, the biggest criticism to Glover's spot in the UFC has been his level of competition so far. While many will still bring up that Rampage was late in his career, this win is still a huge step up from Kingsbury and Maldonado. The decision over Jackson will definitely give Teixeira his chance to move up and face more top Light Heavyweights.
Quinton Jackson - Without a doubt one of the biggest stories leading into Fox 6 was Rampage's last UFC fight. As one of the most notable stars in the promotion, a win Saturday night would have seriously increased his leverage in negotiating with the UFC's competitors. Now, although he was competitive with Glover, he was always a step behind and definitively dropped his own value in the open market by giving up the unanimous decision
Donald Cerrone - For the second time since moving over to the UFC Cerrone has fallen one fight short of contendership. At 6-2 in only two years, Cerrone certainly has one of the most impressive records as a WEC crossover. But both times he's met elite competition he's been almost embarrassed in his 2 losses. He's obviously a very talented fighter, but needs to shore up the holes in his game to make that next step.
Hatsu Hioki - Plenty of people with respectable reputations in the MMA community disagreed with the decision regarding Guida vs. Hioki. That point is unsubstantial however, because Hioki lost in a way that is consistent with judging in North American MMA. It's incredibly difficult for a fighter to win a fight off his back in the UFC. That's something Hioki should have known going in and been ready to contest when he was taken down. Instead, he gave up the takedowns and failed to reverse positions. If he can't find a way to be more effective with his grappling, Hioki will not rise to the top of the UFC FW division.
Mike Russow - Russow managed to put together a very impressive 4-0 record in the UFC before running into Fabricio Werdum. That loss showed that he was not able to compete with the very elite of the Heavyweight division. However, a loss to Shawn Jordan illustrated that he could be beat by a much lower caliber of fighter. Russow isn't in danger of losing his UFC spot here, but he showed a big weakness to his future opponents.
Erik Koch - Koch was already a surprising contender when he got matched against Aldo for UFC 153. It was his good luck that FW was lacking in contender and he got selected despite a long lay off. Then it was his bad luck to be injured and replaced by a former LW champ. Fox 6 was his opportunity to prove his contendership and he let it fall between his fingers. After looking solid in the first, but allowed himself to be dominated in the second. Unless he can string together an incredible string of victories, it'll be a long time before we see Koch contending again.
Honoroable Mentions:
Ricardo Lamas - This was probably one of the most overlooked relevant bouts in recent memory. Koch was supposed to fight Aldo at 153, but lost out due to injury. Lamas had been on an incredible streak since the WEC merger, but has gotten little notoriety. The dominant performance he pulled off at Fox 6 solidfies himself as one of the top men at 145 lbs.
Shawn Jordan - Jordans fight against Cheick Kongo was one of the worst in recent memory. The lower tier Heavyweigh needed a good performance at Fox 6 to retain his position. After being dominated in the first round, Jordan managed to rally and get a big finish in the second round. The TKO finish probably saved his position in the UFC.
Clay Guida - The carpenter managed to pull out a very close win against Hioki. Predictably after 3 rounds Clay got the call from the judges, but he displayed no skills that suggest he can threaten the top of the FW division. He got the win, but he spent 15 minutes defending and that's not going to help him move toward the title.
Vladimir Matyushenko - In his last fight, Vladdy was also finished quickly. It was fairly easy to write that off however, as Gustafsson was a riding contender with an impressive striking acumen. Getting quickly stopped by a known quantity like Bader is not as easy to overlook however. Yes, Ryan has been stopped by the top of the division, but if Matyushenko wanted to remain a UFC fighter, he needed to be more competitive with a defeatable fighter like Bader. There's very little room for him to go after an early finish like that now.
