PASCO, Wash.- Pasco's School Bond fell short of the supermajority vote Tuesday night.
59.3 percent of Franklin County voters said "yes," but they needed at least 60 percent to pass.
However, there is still a chance for the $46.8 million bond to pass.
The Chairman of Pasco Citizens for Better Schools, Mike Miller said there are about 1,000 ballots that still need to be counted, plus additional mail in ballots.
"Well we're hopeful, but we have to admit we've put a lot of work into this. We wanted to make sure the community knew what was needed and we felt like we did that and that the need was sorely great. Again, we have 6,000 students...our schools are full," said Miller.
Miller said they will have to get 650 more "yes" ballots to meet the supermajority.
He says they should know the final count Thursday, February 14th.

8X12 & 12X12 FireplaceFlex
Before HomeSaver came out with FireplaceFlex Chimney Liner, a whole lot of chimneys could not be relined with stainless steel without downsizing, and downsizing goes against NFPA 211 code. Relining a fireplace chimney properly to still be able to use it as a fireplace, was near impossible. You see, you need to maintain, as close as possible, the cross- dimensional area of your existing flue in order for your fireplace to vent properly and not smoke up your house.
Two FireplaceFlex sizes; 7.5"X 11.5" OD for 8"X 12" ID flues, and 10.5"X 10.5" OD for 12"X 12" ID flues (deduct .25" for inside dimensions of flex-pipe).
Download the installation instructions to learn how to properly install this liner.
There is a 10 feet minimum purchase! There will be additional freight charges that will apply on certain lengths, we will call or email you to let you know what additional freight charges will be.

The management letter updates the King County Office of Risk Management's substantial progress in addressing the seven recommendations in our 2013 audit. Risk Management's efforts have significantly advanced a comprehensive enterprise risk management program to identify and address major risks faced by the County. Additional actions are needed, however, to fully implement three of the remaining recommendations.
Councilmember Jane Hague and Capital Projects Oversight Manager Tina Rogers from the King County Auditor's Office (shown at the right) are featured in a cover-page article in July's Public Works magazine. The article describes the risk-assessment system that tracks King County's largest capital projects. For more information about the Auditor's Office Capital Projects Oversight Program or the county's risk-assessment process, contact Tina Rogers at 206-477-1036 or email email@example.com.
We are pleased to announce the Auditor's Office released its Highlights of Performance report for 2013. The report summarizes the accomplishments of the King County Auditor's Office during 2013 and provides examples of how the Auditor's Office improved county programs, and enhanced oversight and transparency in capital projects. The King County Auditor's Office promotes and improves performance, accountability, and transparency of King County government through objective and independent audits, oversight, and studies.
Based on the results of a peer review conducted during the week of February 24, 2014, the King County Auditor's Office's internal quality control system was suitably designed and operating effectively to provide reasonable assurance of compliance with Government Auditing Standards for performance audits during the period January 1, 2011 through December 31, 2013. Click here to read the management letter in full.
The 2014 King County Auditor's work program promotes the county's strategic priorities of financial stewardship, service excellence, equity and social justice, environmental sustainability, justice and safety, and health and human potential. It was approved by motion of the King County Council in December 2013. This set of projects, informed by both the executive and legislative branches, was developed to maximize impact for the County and to align with major policy decisions facing the King County Council. This is an aggressive agenda and the Auditor's Office will be piloting some innovative approaches to accomplish these projects efficiently and effectively while leveraging impact for the County. Please click here for the 2014 work program.
The Knighton Award recognizes the best performance audit reports of the preceding year. Honorable mention award was given to the King County Auditor's Office for their 2012 Performance Audit of King County's Investment in Information Technology.
We appreciate receiving your input and feedback by e-mail or call us at 206-477-1033. The King County Auditor's Office is now on Twitter.
Audits and Special Studies
The King County Auditor's Office provides oversight of county government through independent audits and other studies regarding the performance and efficiency of agencies and programs, compliance with mandates, and integrity of financial management systems. The office reports the results of each audit or study to the Metropolitan King County Council.
The King County Auditor's Office performs its work in accordance with applicable Government Auditing Standards.
Capital Projects Oversight
In 2007, the King County Council created the Capital Projects Oversight program within the King County Auditor's office. The oversight program was established to mitigate capital project overruns and potential problems, contain costs, and inform decision-making processes through adequate, timely, and useful standardized reporting. Current projects being monitored are: Accountable Business Transformation, Brightwater Wastewater Treatment System, South Regional Maintenance Facility (Roads Services Division), Facilities Management Division Project Delivery Management, and Criteria for Capital Project Prioritization.
Countywide Performance Management
Since 2002, the council has enacted legislation seeking to improve the county's use of performance measures, including a 2003 motion that created the auditor-led Performance Measurement (now Management) Work Group with countywide representation. Based on a framework recommended by the Performance Management Work Group and efforts by this office to promote performance management in King County, the 2008 Performance and Accountability Act requires all King County agencies and departments to prepare strategic plans every five years, annual business plans, and relevant performance measures and paved the way for the development of the first countywide strategic plan, approved by the King County Council on July 26, 2010 . Advancing performance-based government is one of the ways the auditor's office promotes cost-effective and accountable county services.

[A great look at how the Hornets' roster could play out on the court. And if you missed it, check out MrWayneKeller's take on the Robin Lopez trade as well. - R]
In the younger years of the game, there was a certain hierarchy that must be followed in order for a team to "succeed". They are what we call positions. A typical play back in the day goes like this - inbounds pass to the "PG", who makes the 1st pass to one of the "swingmen", and when possible, pass the ball to the "big man" who's worked himself into good position in the paint. If not, the ball continues to be passed around in the perimeter between the PG, SG and SF until someone takes a (hopefully) decent shot; Not in today's NBA. With the latest trade by the Hornets (still lots of confusion), the new NBA is slowly being ushered in.
It's long been maintained that there are 5 positions in the league namely: PG, SG, SF, PF, C. Each position has certain stereotypes it must follow:
PG: 6'0~6'3" in height, receives and makes the 1st pass, runs the offense by distributing the ball.
SG:6'4"~6'6" in height, receives the ball on the perimeter, uses a play to create points from the perimeter (either a jumpshot or a drive)
SF:6'7'~6'8" in height, can receive the ball on the perimeter, typically uses a possession from the perimeter, but can also operate inside.
PF:6'9"~6'10" in height, receives the ball in the paint, but has some perimeter skills to speak of to attack the post via faceup.
C:6'10"~7'0" in height, receives the ball exclusively in the paint, uses strength and power in post to score buckets.
Each position must defend their counterpart position (PG to PG, SG to SG, etc..)
Those are the stereotypes that once existed. But as the game evolved and progressed, the number of unconventional "positions" increased. There were just a few of them back in the day - Magic, Barkley, Cowens, Frazier - just to name a few. I cannot claim the accuracy of that statement since I never truly watched the NBA until 2001. Pre 2001, I only knew 2 NBA teams (CHI, UTH) and followed just one (CHI). Convention comes from history. Something doesn't become a convention if it's not done on a day-to-day basis (or in the case of basketball, a game-to-game basis). So if we assume that convention comes from history, and the convention is that of a team made up of 5 positions, then it's not stupid to assume that teams believed in the 5 position approach back in the day.
Fast forward to 2012, and the list of unconventional players have grown exponentially with the list of unconventional players that actually contribute to their teams win are increasing. Here is a list of unconventional players in today's NBA:
- Rose, Westbrook, Parker, Lawson, Holiday, Jennings, Wall as scoring or attacking PGs
- Millsap, Blair, Bass, Brand, Hansbrough, Maxiell, Haslem, Faried as undersized PFs
- Love, Anderson, Frye, Novak, Bargnani, Dirk, West, Bosh, Bonner as PFs/Cs employed as spacers (instead of paint gobblers)
- a branch of guards we call "combo" guards - which is an amalgam between a PG and a SG.
Lebron as another 6'8" PGSomebody as a 6'8" PG
Those are just some of the unconventional positions currently existing in the NBA. There are also new unconventional things like cross matching like the Terry/Kidd combo in DAL (one plays SG on but as a PG on D, the other's vice versa) or the Blair/Duncan combo (one plays PF on O but a C on D, the other's vice versa) or the Amare/Frye combo (the smaller guy played C, the taller guy played PF), or the advent of post playing swingmen (Billups, Kobe, Johnson, Wade) and many other more.
With the latest trade (do not know if this is actually final but reports seem to indicate it is so) for RoLo, the Hornets have just paved the way for an entire team of unconventionality. Robin Lopez is a typical C - a 7'0" ft banger who likes to gobble up space in the paint, so how does this help pave the way for the new NBA?
The movement of the Hornets as an unconventional team started with the CP3 trade (
not the vetoed CP3 trade). In that trade, NO received 2 unconventional players - a combo guard and a undersized "PF" (I still maintain that Aminu plays like a 4). Before that, NO had just 3 unconventional players on its roster - a 7'0" jumpshooter, 6'8" post player and a 6'3" combo guard. Today? NO employs a total of 8 unconventional players (possibly 9 if Davis is employed as a skinny C). EJ as an undersized "SG", Vasquez as an oversized "PG", Rivers as an attacking "PG", Aminu & Lance as undersized "PFs", Anderson and Smith as jumpshooting "PF" and "C", Henry as an undersized "SF" (height wise). So again, I ask the question, how does the trade for a conventional "C" stamp us as a team chuck full of unconventional?
Because FroLo (as he'll be hence forth be called by moi) allows the Hornets to employ more unconventional lineups (to go along with the "undersized" Warrick). Here are some of the combination of players that can play for the Hornets:
- choose 1-3 from the following group - Vasquez, Gordon, Rivers, Henry, Miller (just make sure one of Vasquez/Gordon/Rivers is on the court).
- choose 2-4 depending on how many you take from group 1 - Aminu, Lance, Anderson, Davis, Smith, Warrick, FroLo.
So the Hornets could employ a "standard" lineup of Vasquez (who's still an oversized "PG") | Rivers | Miller | Davis | FroLo or employ the wackiest lineup such as Gordon | Aminu | Anderson | Davis | FroLo (which I can actually see happening). The biggest impact of FroLo on the Hornets is the ability to employ an undersized "PF" to be a slow "SF" because you know that with Monty's defensive system, and Davis and FroLo (not to mention Aminu if we take our wackiest lineups) as players who can flank said slow SF. That Gordon | Aminu | Anderson | Davis | FroLo can be employed on a team, say like, the Lakers - with Gordon guarding Nash, Aminu guarding Kobe, Anderson guarding MWP, Davis guarding Gasol, FroLo guarding Bynum, or with a team such as MIA - Gordon guards Wade, Aminu guards LBJ, Davis guards Bosh, Anderson guards Battier (and the 5th player for the Hornets matched up with the 5th player for MIA, whether that's Chalmers, Haslem, Allen, Lewis or whoever).
Many teams have employed unconventional players in their teams, but not to the degree that NO will probably employ in the NBA (maybe MIA just because they have a freaking 6'8" "PG"). Here is a list of teams that might employ unconventional players on a regular basis (meaning they are part of the regular rotation) with corresponding number of said players.
Atlantic - BOS (5), BKN (5), NYK(1), PHI(5), TOR (2)
Central - CHI (1 and he'll probably be injured), CLE (2), DET (3), IND (2), MIL (3)
Southeast - ATL (5), MIA (another team with unconventional written all over it, 10), ORL (3 if team stays the same i.e. no Howard trade,
wait that's not possible), WAS (4), CHA (4)
Southwest - DAL (4), HOU (3), MEM (2), SAS (another unconventional team, 6 but it can go as high as 9)
Northwest - DEN (5), MIN (3), POR (4), OKC (4), UTH (4)
Pacific - GS (3), LAC (4), LAL (1), PHO (3), SAC (4)
In the new NBA, plays are run to create mismatches and defenses are setup to limit these mismatches. With how our team can have mismatches all over the place offensively, Monty's options on play calling are numerous. Add that with Monty's understanding of how a defense must be setup (to limit mismatches), even with such an unconventional lineup, and you have a recipe for a plethora of options.
In the new NBA, it's not about how positions fit but how skill sets fit. The idea is to have as many options as you can on both offense and defense. With teams slowly moving towards this, NOH's headstart will help immensely in achieving the ultimate goal in the NBA - sustained success. How that success is defined is up to the team on a year-to-year basis. With Davis and Gordon in the fold, hopefully, the last success indicator that NOH will strive for is a Larry O'Brien championship.
Bloggers have alluded to this idea for the longest time, maybe we actually do a good job in our blogging (I think a bloggers job is to inform the widest audience on a specific topic. Yes?), maybe NOH's FO do read Hornets blog, maybe some day Demps will read this post. If so, GOOD JOB! and maybe you can throw me a bone and hire me. *GRINS* Hasta la Vista, baby

WELLSFORD man Darren Lewis has faced the Bendigo Magistrate's Court, charged with the murder of William John Stevenson on Christmas Day.
Mr Lewis, of Norman Road, Wellsford, appeared via video link just after 11.30am on Friday morning.
The court heard during Friday's filing hearing that extensive analysis of bone fragments was needed.
A detective will also travel to New Zealand as part of the investigation.
Mr Lewis made no bail application and was remanded to appear in the Bendigo Magistrate's Court for a committal mention on May 28.
Homicide Squad detectives charged Mr Lewis after the discovery of human remains in a burnt out vehicle belonging to missing Kerang man William Stevenson in the Wellsford Forest near Epsom on Wednesday afternoon.
Mr Stevenson, 47, has not been seen since leaving a house, near where the burnt-out vehicle was found, on Christmas Day.
He was reported missing by his boss after not showing up for work at Hazeldene's Chicken two days later.
A police officer located Mr Stevenson's burnt-out car at Norman Road, in the Wellsford Forest, on Wednesday afternoon during a search of the area.
Police believe the remains are those of a man but have not released an identity.
Hazeldene's Chickens farming manager Karl Lawson told the Bendigo Advertiser on Thursday that Mr Stevenson had worked as a casual at the Prairie broiler complex since November 25 last year.
"He was a really good worker, very conscientious," Mr Lawson said.
"He was very well liked.
"A very good young man."
Mr Stevenson worked a succession of jobs in horse racing, farming and manufacturing around the northern parts of New Zealand from 1978 before moving to Australia in August 2011.
Mr Stevenson moved to Kerang in 2012 to take a job as a driver with JRM Freight before joining Hazeldene's Chickens in November last year.

Young chefs cook up a storm
3:04pm Friday 24th January 2014 in News By Pete Grant, Reporter
MASTERCHEFS of the future donned their aprons for the first heats of the annual 'Rotary Young Chef' competition.
Pupils from Sir William Borlase's School and Great Marlow School took part in separate heats, rustling up culinary delights in a bid to advance to the regional finals.
the national competition, organised by Rotary clubs throughout the country, seeks out the best young cooking talent, with only one each year crowned young chef of the year.
Lance Slater from the Rotary Club of Marlow, said: "The idea is to excite young people about cooking, the cost of food, its preparation and the importance of a good diet.
"I don't recall anyone from our area reaching those dizzying heights, but you never know!"
Judging in the prelimanary rounds was handled by Philippe Burger of the family-run atisans bakery Burgers on the Causeway, Marlow.
Winner of the Borlase's round was Tara Nadi, beating five other competitors to the spot, while Jack Cox was picked as the cream of Great Marlow School's crop, with four other pupils in the running.
Ultimately, it was decided that Tara would be the one to progress to the 'zone final' at the Royal Grammar School in High Wycombe, competing against 10 other contestants from schools in the area.
She will be hoping to progress to the district final in Bracknell on February 7. This will be followed by a regional final and then a national final in April.

Staff Writer
---- — John "Jack" Dugan, the 27-year-old Gloucester man charged with gutting his pet pit bull last December in a case that outraged animal rights activists, appeared in court briefly Friday before Judge Joseph Jennings simply pushed the case back to May 3.
Dugan entered the courtroom's glass box in handcuffs, wearing a light blue button-up shirt and left hours later still in handcuffs, with attorneys and a judge just mentioning his name.
Because Dugan was originally arrested on charges of animal cruelty for allegedly cutting open his pet pit bull Xena after the dog ingested heroin, his probation had included an order to remain drug and alcohol free. Dugan was arrested March 6, allegedly having broken those conditions of his probation after a March 5 court date.
Jennings had ordered Dugan held without bail until Friday, when he returned to court in custody, for a hearing on that pretrial probation violation. Dugan's attorney did not return calls for comment on the case Friday.
The rescheduling of the probation violation charge puts it on the docket for a status review on the same day that the animal cruelty charge is up for status review, as well.
Dugan's former court appointed attorney Thomas O'Shea had filed a motion to dismiss the case on grounds, he said at the time, that the case lacked an element of "cruelty," since the Massachusetts law's definition of cruelty does not include harm inflicted on a deceased animal.
Dugan's current lawyer, John Morris, has said he plans to file for dismissal on the same grounds as O'Shea's filing, possibly waiting to take filing action until the case's status is decided.
"Do I believe that there's insufficient evidence of animal cruelty? Yes," Morris said in a January interview with the Times. "I'd be filing a motion to dismiss because the Commonwealth can't meet the burden at the probable cause level from the plain language contained within the statute."
Those close to the case, including spokeswoman for the district attorney Carrie Kimball Monahan, have expected that the case might be moved to the higher Salem Superior Court at the status review on May 3.
"I am able to confirm that the case is currently being reviewed for possible Superior Court action," Monahan has said. "Once it gets to Superior Court, you're just dismissing the district court case. So, if you're anticipating it, you don't want to spend so much time in district because it's just going to get kicked."
Dugan had been freed from Middleton Jail, his $20,000 bail paid by a third party, when he was rearrested in March following a court hearing. After his arrest, the man who had paid his bail reclaimed the $20,000 from court, and Jennings held him without bail until his probation violation hearing regardless of that.
Police officers, alerted that Dugan missed a day of his court-mandated rehabilitation program, had found Dugan at a local hotel where Dugan confessed to "snorting" the opiate Percocet, drinking Jameson's whiskey and smoking marijuana in a relapse that began right after a Tuesday court appearance, according to a police report. Dugan had been expected to graduate from the rehabilitation program days later.
"Dugan stated he relapsed after his court proceeding Tuesday (on the pit bull cruelty charges)," Detective Steven Mizzoni wrote in the report.
Dugan's criminal history includes a motor vehicular homicide conviction. He was charged in the June 18, 2003, crash with causing the death of a 17-year-old girl when he was allegedly driving a vehicle at 60 to 70 mph in a 20 mph residential neighborhood, and lost control of the vehicle, striking a concrete retaining wall, then a parked vehicle.
Beyond the vehicular homicide conviction, a 2007 Gloucester police report notes that Dugan was also arrested on an animal cruelty charge in 2007 after breaking the legs of a past girlfriend's dog "in a fit of rage," according to reports at the time.
He was also charged with marijuana possession in 2009 after police serving him with a restraining order found more than an ounce of pot and $1,900 in cash in his apartment.
Also in 2009, Dugan faced a charge of vandalizing property when, according to police reports, a domestic dispute ended with Dugan slashing a Mt. Pleasant Street resident's tires. Those charges do not appear on Dugan's criminal record.

Many people consider the lack of a sales tax a good reason to shop online, but on Monday, the senate approved a plan to close the loophole.
Under current law, states can only require online stores to collect sales taxes if they have a physical building in the state. So, stores like Target and Wal-Mart collect sales taxes online, but websites like Amazon don't.
The bill now moves on to the house, where it faces a tougher sell.

A panel of experts appointed by the National Research Council assessed the scientific and technical work of the Building and Fire Research Laboratory (BFRL) of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). The scope of the assessment included the following criteria: (1) the technical merit of the current laboratory programs relative to the current state of the art worldwide; (2) the adequacy of the laboratory facilities, equipment, and human resources, as they affect the quality of the laboratory technical programs; and (3) the degree to which the laboratory programs in measurement science and standards achieve their stated objectives and desired impact.
The book finds that, overall the technical merit of the programs reviewed within the BFRL is very high and generally at a state-of-the-art level. The programs have clear ties to the overall BFRL Strategic Priority Areas and are well aligned with the mission of NIST, which is to promote U.S. innovation and industrial competitiveness by advancing measurement science, standards, and technology in ways that enhance economic security and improve our quality of life.

Thank you Richard Sproat, Galina Bolden and George Nagy for responding to my query about research on tables! This is a compilation of the answers:
?There were several papers by Jianying Hu, Gordon Wilfong and Dan Lopresti at Bell Labs on the structure of tables. Also some earlier work by Shona Douglas and others at Edinburgh.? (Richard Sproat)
?[Y]ou might want to take a look at the recent work of Charles Goodwin. Some of the articles (e.g., 1994 ''Professional Vision.'' American Anthropologist 96(3):606-33.) deal with the Munsell chart (for color classification) as well as other visual representations of information. Here is his website: http://www.sscnet.ucla.edu/clic/cgoodwin/publish.htm Also, Edwin Hutchins' 1995 book ''Cognition in the wild'' (about ship navigation) deals with various maps, and may be helpful as well.?

The largest shopping mall in the world is also home to one angry dragon. At the West Edmonton Mall in Edmonton, Canada, in the lobby/main concession area of Famous Players Silver City Theatres, visitors experience a 51/2-minute show timed to the movie starts and finishes that features the dragon and her three little dragonettes, making lots of noise and generally carrying on like dragons.
Each show begins with the sound of rain, which builds as though a storm is approaching. Next you hear low growls beneath the wind and rain; from their nest, 20' above, the three baby dragons stir. Then you hear something that sounds nothing like a baby; follow those sounds down the corridor and you see an immense dragon suspended high above. A complex of sounds and ominous chords build until the dragon plunges her neck, eyes flaming laser-red, and shoots a 20' flame from her gaping jaws.
The dragon-and her scheduling-are the work of Production Resource Group. The Famous Players dragon was a collaborative effort among PRG's sister companies: Scenic Technologies (which recently joined forces with Harris Production Services under the name Entolo), Production Arts, and ProMix Installations, a division of ProMix, now part of the Systems Group within PRG and known as SPL Integrated Solutions (SPLIS).
In the fall of 98, senior VP/general manager of Scenic Technologies Roy Sears came to ProMix with the dragon project. Sears had been contacted by Richard Bartokowski of Famous Players, who had seen another PRG/Scenic Technologies dragon in Las Vegas. Impressed, he felt that something similar would be right for the new cinema complex at the mall. Soon a PRG team was assembled that included Production Arts, ProMix (Felix Robinson, director of operations, for installed systems), and John Swain as overall project manager.
"We began by figuring out the sonic requirements for the program we had in mind," says Robinson, "the overall sound pressure requirements, the acoustical environment-hard to predict, based on the information we had, which was basically the cubic- foot volume of the space as designed-and the audio program itself, which would consist of growls, thunder, screams, and other audio components, including the music."
Robinson and the PRG team took a "thematic" approach to this event, which meant enveloping people in the lobby (and further away) in a fully realized experience supported by a cinematically conceived soundtrack that would build, draw people in, and grab them for the duration. Robinson, with years of experience in recording and composing soundtracks, volunteered to write and produce the audio sound bed. "We had to compose the music first," he says, "get that under control, before we could determine what we needed out of the audio system."
Robinson notes that on the project, throughout all phases, the one constant as far as equipment was concerned was Tannoy loudspeakers. "The needs of our program called for a speaker with extended low frequency response," he says, "and given the extremely unfriendly acoustical environment we had to deal with-circular, with no acoustical treatment-and the location of the listeners, we needed a speaker that would help minimize reflections."
Eighteen Tannoy i12 full-range (45Hz-25kHz) installation loudspeakers with 12" dual concentric drive units and 60-degree conical dispersion patterns surround the beast in a 360-degree array. Eight Tannoy B475 compact, direct radiating sub bass systems with a single 18" bass drive unit and a 28Hz-240Hz frequency range deliver bottom-end support.
A total of 21 Tannoy CMS12-TDC-60 ceiling speakers carry the prelude to the dragon's awakening down the 150' long corridor that connects the baby dragon nest to the main lobby/concession area, the lair of the she-dragon. A single Community R2-474 loudspeaker, aimed down the corridor, funnels highly directional sound from the she-dragon. An Anchor Liberty powered speaker system provides sound for the baby dragon nest.
Digital systems from Akai and Alcorn-McBride provide playback material for the dragon event: an Akai DR16 for the dragon lair and Tannoy ceiling speakers, and two Alcorn-McBride DAMs, one each for the baby dragon nest. Fourteen Crown MA Series amplifiers and one CT810 drive the Tannoy i12s, B475 subs, and ceiling speakers. A Crown MA drives the single Community loudspeaker.
With system basics decided upon-and a thematic approach to the dragon event approved-ProMix chief engineer for installations Peter Romandetti refined what the dragon system would need to include, and eventually finalized the system design. System control was accomplished through an AMX Midi Events Timer converting SMPTE to MIDI, which links all audio, lighting, and special effects.
Begun in February 99 and completed in mid-March, the dragon installation was not a simple matter. Part of the dragon had to be lowered by crane through the roof. The lobby area had to be enclosed to protect against the elements, and often severe cold temperatures. In spite of acoustically fortified walls, the overwhelming 51/2-minute sound world the design team had created interfered with theatre systems several hundred feet away. (Eventually, the designers attenuated the system.)
"We actually produced the final finished audio product onsite," Robinson says. "Scott, Peter, and I worked for three days, around the clock [after SPLIS' Bruce Manning completed speaker installation], adjusting the program with ProTools and Timax, making hundreds of adjustments and tweaks."
Billed as "the world's largest shopping and entertainment center," West Edmonton Mall spans the equivalent of 48 city blocks in the west end of the city and features over 800 stores, over 110 eating establishments, plus seven "World Class Attractions." It's not known whether the dragon show now puts that number at eight.

New Look for ProQuest
One of our most popular library databases changed significantly over the Christmas break. ProQuest, a comprehensive, multi-disciplinary collection, introduced its new interface and search capabilities, designed to meet the changing needs of its user base. Here is a snapshot of ProQuest's new look:
We will be working on new help materials to give out to your classes and to post online in the next couple of weeks. In the meantime, if you would like a detailed introduction to the new platform and layout of the database, please click here.
New Year, New Online Collections
While classes were out, we added two new collections to the library's sizable list of online, subscription databases:
Films on Demand is a source for streaming video of over 6,000 films covering a wide variety of subject areas, including communication, history, literature, mathematics, psychology, religion, and science. Special collections within Films on Demand include Cambridge Educational, Modern Marvels, the History Channel: Education segment, the Royal Opera House, the Bill Moyers' Collection, BBC, CNBC, ABCnews, PBS, etc. View the entire film or jump quickly to sections within the film. Clips may be embedded into your presentation. Bryan ID needed for off-campus access. Contact us to learn more. Please note: IT Services is working on resolving server access issues this weekend. While access to the database and its indexes is enabled, please check back next week for access to the full length films contained therein.
We now have access to vocal and instrumental sheet music of over 35,000 Western Classical pieces from renowned composers such as Chopin, Schubert, Bach and Beethoven. Our subscription allows users to download, print, and make multiple copies of the sheet music free of charge. Contact us to learn more.
From the Director
The beginning of a new year is always a time of reflection for me. I don't make formal resolutions, but there is always that feeling of starting with a clean slate and wanting to make something worthwhile of it. We really do wish to leave our Bryan students better off for having spent this part of their lives with us, do we not? The BCL library staff are no different. We want to make sure they have attained not only the information they need for particular projects, but also the skills that they will need to keep up with their life-long information needs.
In particular, I have noticed a great dearth of ability among many Christians to do the kind of research the academic community requires for making a viable case for our faith. For too long, way too many have assumed that since it is "faith" there is no intellectual support for what we know to be the truth. But faith is not believing something contrary to all evidence. It is weighing all the known evidence and then believing in the direction that evidence takes you. It is being reasonably certain that new evidence will be more likely to support your stance than contradict it. God invites us to come and "reason together" with Him, not to turn off our mind and blindly accept what we have been told about Him. Christians need to stop being intimidated by those who look upon our faith as anti-intellectual and get busy showing the world that there is more evidence for biblical Christian faith than against it. Those who say otherwise are merely expressing their faith in their own beliefs and presuppositions, often with little intellectual support.
In order to do this well all Christians (and thus our students also) need to be able to effectively 1) gather evidence wherever it is found and in whatever format, 2) evaluate information sources in order to give appropriate weight to each piece of evidence, and 3) organize that evidence into a logical argument for the conclusions which we have drawn from it. That process is what we academic librarians are really all about. That is the point of Information Literacy and is what we are here to help our students learn how to do.
We appreciate every opportunity we have to develop those skills in our students and hope to greatly enhance our student's abilities in this area during their time with us. We are constantly seeking new ways and avenues to accomplish this. Thank you for your past collaboration with us on this most important area of their development, and we look forward to working with all of you on new collaborative initiatives in the future.

Sox set to face stingy Hudson
Atlanta (26-17) at Boston (29-13), 2:05 p.m. ET
Tim Hudson is pitching the best baseball of his career. Where that gets him on Sunday, in his return to Fenway Park, where the Red Sox throttled him as a member of the Oakland A's, remains to be seen.With a 13-3 win over the Braves in the first game of a Saturday doubleheader, Boston officially became the Majors' highest-scoring team. Hudson, for his part, brings the Majors' third-best ERA (1.77) into Fenway. That's where the fun has traditionally stopped for the Braves' ace. Hudson allowed four earned runs, eight hits and five walks in a six-inning Interleague start in Boston on May 20, 2005. He incurred even worse damage as a member of the Oakland rotation. Hudson's career numbers at Fenway -- a 7.92 ERA, with 33 hits and 21 walks in 25 innings -- likely result, in part, from patient Boston clubs willing themselves to lay off his low breaking stuff. But Hudson has not faced the 2007 Red Sox. Only catcher Jason Varitek, with seven hits in 19 at-bats, brings a stellar track record against him into Sunday's game. And yet Boston leads the Majors in walks. Hudson has pitched his best this season. He could need it on Sunday. Pitching matchup
BOS: LHP Kason Gabbard (1-3, 3.51 ERA in 2006)
Gabbard, a late fix for a rotation that has been stretched with doubleheaders and the finger injury to Josh Beckett in recent days, had a 2.70 ERA in four Spring Training starts and a 2.75 ERA in eight starts with Triple-A Pawtucket so far this season.
ATL: RHP Tim Hudson (5-1, 1.77 ERA)
Hudson came into the season in the best shape of his career, and comes into Sunday's game with the Majors' third-best ERA and second-most innings pitched.
Varitek has a .684 slugging percentage in his career against Hudson. On the Internet

Director John Hughes' House Listed For $5.89 million
If You're Ever Home Alone, The House Can Be Protected By Swinging Paint Cans And Feathers
Loved Ferris Bueller's Day Off or The Breakfast Club? Want to own a shrine to 80s pop culture? Well, for the sweet sum of $5.89 million, you can be the happy-go-lucky owner of legendary director John Hughes' not-so-humble abode.
Hughes passed away too soon in 2009, after having a fatal heart attack at the age of 59. Now, his widow Nancy Ludwig, is selling their home in the Lake Forest area of Illinois.
Read: John Hughes' Films Remembered
The listing of Hughes' longtime mansion was not necessarily a surprise, given that Ludwig paid $5.2 million in late 2009 for a 17-room, 6,700-square-foot English country-style mansion in east Lake Forest -- about three blocks away.
Built in 1930 and designed by architect Edwin Hill Clark, the three-story mansion was expanded with a large addition in 1992, and now boasts six bedrooms, six full baths, four half baths, six fireplaces, a swimming pool, a media room and a three-car, heated garage. As the home's official Coldwell Banker listing suggest, the 2.1-acre property is totally practical for "today's families," or even a "casual gathering."
Watch: John Hughes Oscar Tribute Presented By 80's Bright Stars
This news comes as the third in a string of Chicago Hughes-related real estate headlines. In 2009 Cameron's house from Ferris Bueller's Day Off went on the market, and the Home Alone house (yes, he directed that too) followed suit this year.

The Black Box by Michael Connelly
Compact | Rate recommendations
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Harry keeps finding the wrong ant hills to kick over as his career slowly winds down as he works the cold cases. The case he works on this time goes back to the LA riots and now as he finds his suspects they have powerful juice. Harry is also working on his relationship with his daughter and he feels almost as he can never quite get it right and also doesn't seem to do everything right with his new girlfriend as well. A decent book but not one of my favorites.
Contrasts Harry, who wants to solve cases to bring closure to the victims and their family, and the higher ups who care more about numbers and politics. Harry's daughter is growing up and Harry has a girlfriend.
You can guarantee that once you start a Michael Connelly book you won't want to put it down and this was no different. Harry Bosch is back in Open Unsolved and assigned a case dating back to the LA riots of 1992 when a Danish journalist was killed. As usual Harry doggedly pursues his investigation revealing all manner of skeleton, despite being investigated by Professional Standards.
Enjoyable if not the best of the Bosch books. I like the introduction of the daughter. Though the end did get a bit "Jack Reacher".
I have now read all the Bosch books so will have to wait for the next one :(
This Harry Bosch novel went down smooth. The development of his relationship with his 16 year old daughter showed a tender side of Harry, and continued displaying his bungling attempts at relationship building. The crime story is nasty and brings us to the 1992 rioting, burning streets of L.A., and to other very different settings. Bravo to Mr. Connelly for another terrific novel..... please let us know why Mendenhall followed Harry.

No descriptions found.
In a case that spans 20 years, Harry Bosch links the bullet from a recent crime to a file from 1992, the killing of a young female photographer during the L.A. riots. Harry originally investigated the murder, but it was then handed off to the Riot Crimes Task Force and never solved. Now Bosch's ballistics match indicates that her death was not random violence, but something more personal, and connected to a deeper intrigue. Like an investigator combing through the wreckage after a plane crash, Bosch searches for the 'black box,' the one piece of evidence that will pull the case together.… (more)

Update: LGV driver arrested on suspicion of dangerous driving after five-vehicle pile-up on A66 at Sandford, near Warcop
11:50am Friday 11th January 2013 in News By Anna Smith, Reporter
THE driver of a large goods vehicle has been arrested on suspicion of dangerous driving, following a five-car pile-up early this morning.
Police have revealed that the Polish driver of a Volvo LGV, travelling along the A66 by the Sandford junction, collided with the side of a LGV car transporter, which was travelling westbound, before colliding with the rear of a silver Fiat Doblo, a Mercedes Sprinter van and red Vauxhall Insignia.
The male driver of the Fiat received serious injuries and was taken to Cumberland Infirmary in Carlisle.
The driver of the Volvo HGV, aged 49, was arrested at the scene on suspicion of dangerous driving and taken to Carlisle Police Station.
Emergency services were forced to close the road for about four hours following the incident, which took place at around 7.20am.
The LGV was carrying four tonnes of empty cans when it crashed.
Police, firefighters and paramedics all attended, along with highways staff who implemented a road closure to ensure the scene could be cleared safely. Collision investigation work was also undertaken.
Local traffic was diverted via minor roads but large vehicles were asked to take alternative routes due to weight restrictions applying on the A685 at Kirkby Stephen.
The road re-opened at around 11am.
A police spokesman said: "There have been a number of incidents in relation to the temporary traffic lights at Sandford and following previous incidents the mandated signage was added to.
"Police would like to ask drivers to pay particular attention in this area and be aware of the likelihood of standing traffic and the need to stop in the distance that can be seen to be clear."

Yields: 24 crostini
1 bunch Kale (*Note: You can use any variety. We like Lacinato, otherwise known as Tuscan Kale or Dinosaur Kale. You can also use Curly Kale, just be sure to remove the tough stem before tearing. This step is not necessary with Lacinato.)
1 tablespoon Olive Oil
1 teaspoon Salt *Note: Cajun Seasoning or any other seasoning blend make for delicious chip variations.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Make sure that kale has been thoroughly washed and dried.
- Tear into pieces about 3 inches. See note above about tough stems.
- Toss torn leaves with olive oil and salt.
- Lay chips out in a single layer on a parchment lined sheet tray.
- Bake kale for about 10 minutes. Kale should be crispy and slightly browned, but not at all burnt. Since ovens vary, you may wish to keep a close eye on chips and start checking after 8 minutes. If kale does not crisp, increase oven temp to 400 and bake for an additional 3-5 minutes, checking often.
Did you know?
- Kale is an amazing source of vitamins A, K, and C. This means that eating kale is good for your eyes, bones, skin and immune system.
- Kale is also a good source of fiber and calcium.
- Unlike many other trendy "super foods", kale is one of the most affordable vegetables in the grocery store.
- Kale is a hearty green that grows well in most climates, including here in Louisiana.
- Kids love kale! Dinosaur kale, with its wrinkly leaves, is especially appealing to children. Our kids love kale, snipped into a salad, baked on top of a pizza, as a crunchy baked snack, or even blended into fruit smoothies!
