Avolites will feature production models of all its lighting control products at PLASA 2004. The newest Avolites products–the ART 2000s stand-alone dimmer and the D4 Desktop were seen in prototype at PLASA 2003.
The diverse selection of Avolites lighting control consoles and dimmers will be demonstrated, suitable for all types of applications from concerts and live productions to installations and architectural, plus Avolites' visualization software and other programming tools.
ART 2000 Series dimmer is a cost-effective, stand-alone professional dimming module designed for distributed dimming systems. It's a standard 19" x 3U rack mounting module. Its features include 100% Duty Cycle, low noise chokes and Studio Quiet cooling system, making it suitable for quiet stage or studio applications. Clear text reporting for easy set up is another asset. The ART2000s module is available in 10A, 16A and 32A per-channel current ratings. Options include dual DMX inputs with merge and patch for running two consoles, plus RCD Protection and level faders.
ART 2000 Stand Alone Dimmer
The Avolites D4 Desktop System is a fully functional "Virtual" Diamond 4 Console. "D4 Desktop" consists of several components running "Avolites D4" software–the OS for Avo's top of the range, Diamond 4 Elite & Diamond 4 Vision consoles.
The highly flexible "D4 Desktop" offers several advantages. It's a reasonably priced backup for a full console, a fully featured playback system for when a full console is not required and also ideal for offline programming, editing or adaptation of shows. The system can be composed from individual hardware components, to match the customer's exact requirements.
The product has been designed to address two clear needs – The first being a fully functional and stand alone "Back-up system" for large Diamond 4 shows and also for smaller or "Hands Free" productions where access to the comprehensive control surface of the D4 Consoles is not required. At the heart of the D4 Desktop system is a PC, running MS Windows XP with available USB ports.
Avolites Diamond 4 Vision Console
Designed for large-scale shows, festivals, concerts, events and multi-purpose venues, the Diamond 4 Vision is a lighting console that's intuitive to operate and offers minimum operator fatigue. It addresses the need for fast, accurate, and immediate control of numerous intelligent lights, conventional fixtures and other DMX devices.
The D4 Vision addresses the whole spectrum of production situations. For those with plenty of time, the Vision's newly designed programming panel allows the entry and selection of fixtures and palettes by number, while the electronic palette gives entry by legend. These entry systems can be mixed in any way, and are always available simultaneously.
Also new is the storing of Times within a Palette, expanding the ability to use Palettes during live performance, and ensuring a highly flexible toolkit for use during programming. The built-in Looks and Palettes, and the D4 Vision's easy use, enables operation of a show when there's been no pre-programming whatsoever.
The new processing engine ensures that response times for selecting and running anything are fast and seamless. In addition to the 24 high-resolution graphic LCD screens, dual high resolution color monitors ensure that the D4 Vision's information is presented and formatted in an easy-to-understand-style. All data is stored on the console's hard disk, and can be backed up onto USB memory stick/CD or copied via the Ethernet connection to a PC.
Diamond 4 Vision
Avolites Diamond 4 Elite Lighting Console
The D4 Elite console is streamlined to offer the maximum power and functionality in the minimum physical space, recognizing the ever-growing need in all applications to use FOH and control spaces expediently. It's ideal for all areas of professional lighting.
The D4 Elite is fully featured and cased in a smaller, lighter chassis, complete with 14 submasters and 96 assigned playbacks, with direct access to 96 fixtures or cues via the re-assignable Preset Playbacks.
In the D4 range, Avolites wanted to offer a physically smaller console that retained the flexibility and versatility for which Avo products are renowned. The electronic legending increases set up speed and allows the automatic configuration of a huge programming Palette.
The D4 Elite significantly expands the number of Palettes, and more processing power ensures faster access and response time for all functions. Instant Access features like the live recall of 'Palettes' during the show is a hallmark of Avolites. Increased software capabilities and dual VGA monitors make the console even more versatile, logical and fast to program.
Avolites ART2000i Installation Dimmer
The Avo ART2000i Install Dimmer is the fixed installation version of Avolites' innovative ART 2000 digital dimming series. The ART2000i dimmer is aimed at theatrical, architectural, leisure and retail applications. Featuring the same high specification as other dimmers in the ART 2000 range, the ART2000i is currently available in modules of 24x16Amp units or 12x32Amp. Each Avolites ART Installation System is available in hybrid mixes of the two modules.
The 48-in-to-48-out Hot Patch option is ideal for theatre applications and other types of installations needing this flexibility. It removes the hassle of retrospectively installing a custom hot patch.
All lamps are terminated in the Top Box, allowing the wall units to be installed at the early ages of a site build, when dust, dirt and other environmental hazards are at their most threatening. Once the site is near completion and a dust free zone, the ART2000i Install electronics can be effortlessly added. Once in place, the Live and Neutral conductors for each circuit can easily be disconnected making annual (mandatory) checking fast and simple.

Charity Disney day at The Slug and Lettuce, Harpenden for Hertfordshire Children's Fund
2:00pm Saturday 26th January 2013 in News By Zoe Forsey, Senior Reporter
A bar in Harpenden is holding a Disney themed day to raise cash for a local children's charity.
Staff at The Slug and Lettuce, in High Street, will be dressing up as their favourite character on Saturday, February 2 in aid of Hertfordshire Children's Fund.
Face painting, sing-alongs and party games will be available for children throughout the day.
Emma Jacobs, one of the bar's managers, said: "We will be encouraging customers to drop any loose change into collection buckets as well asking them to make donations.
"The Hertfordshire Children's Fund helps children aged up to 18 years, assisting their families to buy essential, everyday items or specific equipment.
"This is the first time that we've supported this local charity so we are really focussed on raising a significant amount to help children within our county."
Staff are hoping to raise more than £300 at the charity event.

The Register-News
---- — MT. VERNON — Mt. Vernon Township High School was in a state of "heightened security" Friday after a fight on campus the previous day involving at least five students.
Even so, school officials consider Thursday's altercation an "isolated incident" and say the extra security was merely a precaution.
"There has been no evidence of any individual or specific threat against the campus or the students," said Superintendent Michael Smith. "If any student is threatened on Facebook, we're asking them to bring it forward as evidence."
The fight in question took place at around noon Thursday outside the school and involved "upperclassmen," said MVTHS Principal Wes Olson.
School and police officials declined to confirm the exact circumstances of the incident. However, it did involve at least five students, one of whom was treated at a local hospital for a facial injury.
"Our staff and administrators have worked with local law enforcement to address the situation, both on the legal side and (for) the violation of school code," Olson said. "That situation has been addressed and taken care of."
Attendance at MVTHS was down on Friday, Smith said.
The security measures that day mainly consisted of an extra police presence on campus, as well as heightened vigilance by school staff. The campus was not in lockdown, Smith said.
"Safety and security is our first priority," Smith said.
Mt. Vernon Police Chief Chris Mendenall confirmed Friday that three male juveniles were arrested as a result of the fight, and that no additional suspects are being sought.
Rumors circulating around town and online have blown the incident "way out of proportion," Mendenall said.
It is common practice for police to supply additional security for MVTHS in the wake of an incident like this, he said.
"We only provided extra patrols to err on the side of caution," Mendenall said. "(We) try to keep the peace, that's what we do."
Smith said school officials will consult with law enforcement about whether to continue the heightened security on campus next week. No security problems were reported at the school Friday, he said.
Olson declined to specify how the school will discipline the students involved in the altercation. He did say that fighting is a major infraction.
"We take any type of violation of the code of conduct very seriously," Olson said. "We enact the code and follow it (and we) take the necessary steps to make sure this is a safe and secure place for the students to be."

LOUISVILLE, KY (WAVE) - Drivers can expect weekend delays on I-65 south on the Kennedy Bridge for two more weekends.
Closures on I-65 will occur during three separate weekends beginning at 9 p.m. Fridays and continue through Monday morning.

This is why California needs Florida-style gun laws rather than California-style gun laws. When Florida started letting everyone that wanted to (except felons) to carry heat, there was a huge drop in crimes committed with guns.

While Zach Allen, who had a bye this week, has been getting most of the headlines in this recruiting class, Austin Wilson (QB, 6'3", 205) has been putting up very impressive numbers week in and week out for East Pennsboro. The Panthers jumped all over Boiling Springs this week with a 35-0 win behind a 9-14, 144 yard, three touchdown performance by Wilson, who earned some well-deserved rest due to the lopsided score. East Pennsboro is now 3-1 on the season.
Augustus Edwards (RB, 6'1", 210) was also able to be a spectator after a huge first half in a 40-7 Tottenville win over Adams. Edwards gained 144 yards and two touchdowns on just 16 carries, only one of which was after halftime.
Devan Carter (RB/LB, 6'2", 217) had another impressive game for Brighton, finishing with three touchdowns. However, the Barons were not able overcome Spencerport, dropping to 1-3 with the 42-28 loss.
Marqez Hodge and Miami Central also had a bye this week.

Bringing A Wealth Of Experience, Matthew Botsford Named FGCU Volleyball Coach
FORT MYERS, Fla. – Matthew Botsford, who has served as an assistant coach at five different collegiate institutions and most recently at Colorado State University, has been named the new FGCU volleyball and sand volleyball coach, Director of Athletics Ken Kavanagh announced on Monday.
Botsford, who played at Tri-State University (now Trine University) from 1995-98, has been the top assistant at Colorado State since May 2012, and has helped lead the Rams to two of the most successful seasons in program history. CSU won the Mountain West Conference championship in 2012 and 2013, advancing to the NCAA Tournament each year and winning a school-record 27 consecutive games this past fall.
"I'd first like to thank Ken and the administration for giving me this opportunity," Botsford said. "From the second I stepped foot on campus it was apparent to me that the successes at FGCU were a reflection of the people in the department and the passion they have, and that's one of the things that attracted me to the position. Also, I've been extremely blessed to have worked with some great coaches in my career, and Tom Hilbert (current CSU head coach) is one of them. My time working with him has been invaluable because he's shown me how to run a program beyond what just takes place on the court. He's been a steward of the game, a valued member of the community and I'm extremely thankful for him preparing me to move into this position."
The position Botsford inherits is from Dave Nichols, whose resignation is effective Feb. 22. Nichols led the Eagles to 99 win six years, five Atlantic Sun Tournament appearances and two A-Sun regular-season championships. The successful foundation on which Nichols built the program was one of the reasons Botsford accepted his first full-time head coaching position.
"It's a terrific situation for me to have the ability to inherit a program with a proven track record of success," Botsford added. "My goal now is to build upon that and take the next step. One of the most attractive things about the position was that there are really no obstacles at FGCU from the standpoint of a coach, student-athlete and program. Going through the interview process there was nothing I could identify as being an obstacle, and there's been a lot of successes in a variety of different sports which indicates that there's nothing holding us back from continuing to build on the tradition.
In addition to his time at Colorado State, Botsford has also been an assistant coach at Notre Dame, Miami, IUPUI and the University of Indianapolis. Furthermore, he served as an interim head coach at his alma mater at the age of 21 and has international and national coaching experience.
"We are excited to have Matt joining our FGCU Athletics Family," said Kavanagh. "Amidst a very strong field of candidates, we believe that his background and experiences were the best overall fit for FGCU volleyball at this juncture. We look forward to him coming on board and continuing the strong tradition of excellence for our program on and off the courts, in our pursuit of additional A-Sun championships and the NCAA Tournament."
Botsford, 38, was the lead recruiter at Notre Dame from February 2008 until July 2011, and in 2010 and 2011 his classes were ranked 13th and 15th, respectively, in the nation by media outlets. The Irish advanced to the NCAA Tournament in 2009 after winning the Big East title and going undefeated through the conference schedule (14-0). In total, Botsford coached two All-American winners and six All-Big East performers – including the 2010 Big East Freshman of the Year Andrea McHugh – during his time in South Bend.
Prior to 3+ years at Notre Dame, Botsford cultivated relationships with players and coaches throughout Florida as he served as an assistant coach and recruiting coordinator at the University of Miami for nearly four years from June 2004 to February 2008. He helped solidify two of the highest-ranked recruiting classes in the relatively short history of the program, signing at least one top-100 rated player in each of his final three years and the Hurricanes' first top-50 recruit.
During his time with Miami, Botsford coached two All-Americans and five All-ACC players. In addition, he recruited Lane Carico, who was named the 2011 ACC Player of the Year. Carico supplemented a core group of starters Botsford recruited which led Miami to three straight appearances in the NCAA Tournament.
Botsford got his start in coaching by serving as the interim head coach for both the men's and women's volleyball programs at Tri-State from November 1998 through June 1999. He parlayed his experience in those roles into an assistant position at the University of Indianapolis where he was at for one year (June 1999-May 2000). Botsford's final stop before heading to the University of Miami was as an assistant at IUPUI (Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis) from May 2001 until June 2004, coaching two-time Mid-Continent Conference Player of the Year Rebekah Pallikan.
Outside of the collegiate landscape, Botsford also has a vast array of experience. In the year between his stints at Notre Dame and Colorado State he was the head coach of Lindesberg Volley as part of Sweden's Elite Series, leading the club to a first-ever league title and automatic representation in European Cup play. While with Lindesberg Volley from August 2011 through May 2012, Botsford coached four players who went on to play for Sweden's National Team.
The foray into Sweden wasn't the first for Botsford as he played professionally with the Vingaker Volleyball Club in the country in 2002-03, the final of his three professional stints. In the collegiate offseason he also played from 1998-2003 on beach tours with both the Midwest Professional Volleyball Association (MPVA) and the Extreme Volleyball Professionals (EVP), the latter of which named him the league's Rookie of the Year in 2000.
Botsford was selected as an assistant coach for the 2007 USA Select Program, which trains elite volleyball players in preparation for the U.S. National Team. In his one year as part of the program, Botsford guided his team to a bronze medal in the HP Global Championships as the head coach of the USA Silver team.
A 1998 graduate from Tri-State with a degree in Social Studies Education and a minor in General Science, Botsford was a two-year captain who graduated as the program's all-time leader in kills, digs and blocks and was named an All-American Scholar Athlete as a senior. In 2006, he was inducted into the Tri-State Hall of Fame. Botsford received a Master's Degree in Business Administration from the University of Indianapolis in 2004.
What They're Saying About Matt
"Matt is an excellent hire for FGCU. He's an incredible person, a hard worker and a great recruiter. He also has ties to the state of Florida while having recruited for Miami for several years which will bode to his advantage."
-Nicole Lantagne Welch, University of California Santa Barbara Head Volleyball Coach & former University of Miami Head Volleyball Coach
"Matt is certainly ready to be a head coach. He's got great presence, great energy and he's at the time of his life that he can make this move and be very successful."
-Tom Hilbert, Colorado State Head Volleyball Coach
"Matt is a very, very strong coach, a good teacher and someone who relates really well with student-athletes. He's exceptionally organized and will bring a ton of energy and new life into the program. I have tremendous confidence that he will do an outstanding job and make an immediate impact at FGCU."
-Debbie Brown, Notre Dame Head Volleyball Coach

|Letter to the Editor
|Saturday, November 23, 2013 9:00 PM
I want to say "thank you" to a very special organ donor who in November 1997, allowed me to be alive today!
I received a heart transplant at the Cleveland Clinic. I will always remember the day my donor's little sister asked if she could hear her brother's heart beating in my chest. I will never forget the big smile and happy tears on the face of that 11-year-old younger sister. She just hugged me and said Aaron, her brother's name, and looked up and smiled.
Have you considered being an organ donor? You could help to give the gift of life to another. Thank you for considering it.

Janice Jaffe, Interim Director, works with students, faculty, and local agencies to develop and strengthen partnerships that enhance student learning through community-engaged research while fostering mutually beneficial ties between the campus and community. She assists students to connect their work in communities to their academic passions and skills and to link their international work to the local context of Maine through the oversight of the Community Matters in Maine Summer Fellowships and the Global Citizens Grant, as well as Seeking the Common Good series of public events. Janice provides support to faculty interested in linking their research and teaching to local communities, as well as to students doing community-engaged independent research.
In her fifteen years as a professor of Spanish and Latin American Studies at Bowdoin Janice saw students' depth of understanding and sense of civic engagement increase as they put classroom theory on international issues such as immigration into practice at the local level. Mentoring students in course-based collaborations with agencies including the Maine Division of Migrant and Immigrant Services, Preble Street, and the Maine Migrant Health Program enabled Janice to deepen her longstanding commitment to addressing the needs of immigrant communities. Her work translating oral histories of Hispanic immigrants for Latino Voices in New England (2009), as a leader of interpreter training workshops for immigrants in Portland, and as a member of the Maine Judicial Branch's Advisory Group on Limited English Proficiency continue to inspire her and inform her efforts to bridge cultural differences and connect students and faculty with international communities in Maine. Currently, Janice is actively involved as a medical interpreter, interpreter trainer and officer on the Board of Partners for Rural Health in the Dominican Republic.
Contact Janice at email@example.com

Providing administrative support for the Center director, staff, students and faculty working with community service and community-based teaching/research programs, her primary responsibilities include management of the departmental budget and finances, event coordination, oversight of the departmental web pages, development of office publications, and general public relations.
Shawn was raised with the idea of community participation and service as part of her everyday life – giving whatever you can - no matter how little. Mostly through informal and unorganized service, she and her family regularly helped elderly neighbors and fellow church congregants in whatever way they needed. Currently Shawn is a board member for Family Focus, an organization committed to providing affordable community-based services (childcare, special needs programming, information and referral, parenting support and education) for families with children in the Midcoast area. She also participates regularly in service projects directed through First Parish Church. On campus, Shawn is particularly interested in inviting Bowdoin staff to take advantage of the resources of the McKeen Center.
Contact Shawn at firstname.lastname@example.com
Nancy Jennings serves as Senior Faculty Fellow at the McKeen Center while chairing and teaching in the Education Department. She also advises independent study projects that involve community-based research in Maine schools. At the Center, Nancy participates actively with staff in planning and programming that connects the Center's work to the academic program. Along with Janice Jaffe, she is co-chairing a working group that is examining faculty public engagement in their research and teaching.
Prior to coming to Bowdoin, Nancy taught in K-12 public schools in Illinois and Minnesota. She has done research on educational reform in rural schools of poverty in Michigan, South Carolina and Maine. Stemming from her work in Maine, Nancy helped develop Bowdoin's Island School Project that connects Bowdoin education students to high school students and teachers in one of three Maine island communities. Her recent research focuses on students' transition to college and their academic and social development while in college. This work is in collaboration with other researchers from seven liberal arts college called the New England Consortium on Assessment and Student Learning. Nancy is particularly interested in looking at the role civic engagement plays in students' academic engagement and sense of well-being.

Another location to find current events in Shambhala International is at The Shambhala Times.
Jan 26, 2012
On March 17-18 the Shambhala Sadhana, a new practice written by Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche, will be formally introduced to the Shambhala community during a two-day retreat, which will include an address by the Sakyong on Saturday afternoon.
The Sakyong composed this practice to deepen our personal and social connection with basic goodness. The Shambhala Sadhana is simple and quite powerful in its direct approach to basic goodness. This sadhana was practiced at Enlightened Society Assembly (Sutrayana Seminary) at Dechen Choling and Shambhala Mountain Center last summer, and at all year three Scorpion Seal Assemblies. From now on, this sadhana will be introduced to students at Enlightened Society Assembly.
The Shambhala Sadhana Retreat is open to everyone who has taken the Enlightened Society Vow. However, only those who have already attended Enlightened Society Assembly (or Sutrayana Seminary) will be authorized to take the practice home and do it as an individual practice. For others who attend the weekend, the sadhana is being introduced for use at centres as a group community practice. Details about group practice at centres will be forthcoming.
We have asked the acharyas and shastris to lead this weekend, as at the fall Lineage Festival. Groups and centres who will not have an acharya or shastri in attendance may decide to hold the Shambhala Sadhana Retreat at a later date, when an acharya or shastri can be present. In that case, the address by the Sakyong on March 17 will be available as a video for their program.
Please contact your local centre to find out when the Shambhala Sadhana Retreat will be scheduled locally.

Baumann's Bad Beans Walk for PKD by Baumann's Bad Beans - almost 3 years ago
"We completed the Walk for Polycystic Kidney Disease on September 17th in Bloomington, MN. We walked because Polycystic Kidney Disease has had a tremendous impact on our family. My grandpa had PKD, 8 of my aunts and uncles have PKD, and many of my cousins also have PKD. We decided to order shirts from CustomInk because we wanted to look like a team. CustomInk was so easy to work with! They made sure our design looked perfect before they created our shirts :) Everybody at the walk was talking about how awesome our shirts looked-- it was so much fun to show them off!!"

Gary is a retired Endodontist. He and his wife Yaffa moved to Gainesville, Florida in 2001 where he became an Assistant Professor of Endodontics and Orofacial Pain. "There's much of art, in the profession of dentistry", his students often hear him retort. He goes on to say "...appreciation for the subtleties in shapes, shades and lighting is one of the keys to being a fine dentist."
Gary has been a photographer for 28 years. His subjects are varied ..from landscapes and still life, to more recently, nature. In May, 2007, they relocated to Valencia Lakes in Wimauma, FL.
Whether it's the way the sun "kisses" the ocean at dusk, the tender mating of lovebugs while in flight, the carefree spirit of seagulls playing in the wind or simply a drop of rain refusing to let go of the rose petal, Gary captures these fleeting moments for eternity.

SF school board to consider minimum wage proposal tonight amid union battles UPDATED
Update [6/25]: The minimum wage proposal won, and is now part of SFUSD's approved budget. "There will be a larger conversation in August when I introduce the new minimum wage policy," Matt Haney, of the Board of Education said. Read the article to get some context on SFUSD's minimum wage struggles.
Hundreds of San Francisco Unified School District employees stand to finally be paid San Francisco's minimum wage, in a new proposal expected for tonight's Board of Education meeting.
Matt Haney, a board commissioner, plans to propose requiring SFUSD to pay San Francisco's minimum wage. He said it's a practical move that also carries a message.
"It's a relatively small amount of people, but a dollar fifty or two dollars more an hour is not pocket change for them," he told the Guardian. "It's really a step towards aligning the school district towards paying everyone a living wage."
As a state entity, the SFUSD need only adhere to the state minimum wage of $9 an hour, which will be the state's new minimum wage starting July 1. For now, San Francisco's minimum wage is $10.74 an hour, though that may change under a new November ballot measure to as much as $15 an hour by 2018.
Haney is considering introducing a new resolution in August to match the City's $15 minimum wage hike, as well.
Over 800 SFUSD workers earn below San Francisco's minimum wage. These employees are mostly unrepresented by unions, Haney told us, and though they serve in a variety of positions, most are yard monitors who oversee recess in the city's over 100 schools.
Haney's minimum wage proposal is part of the overall SFUSD proposed 2014-15 budget, which the school board will vote on tonight. As Governor Jerry Brown's new funding mechanism, the Local Control Funding Formula, drives extra dollars into disadvantaged school districts, the unions and schools are expected to put on the pressure for the district to offer raises for teachers and paraprofessionals.
"There should be some fireworks, I imagine," Haney said.
Negotiations between the school district and the unions are at a standstill, sources tell us. The district said it is proposing a 8.5 percent increase over three years, which amounts to an approximate $1.83 an hour raise for paraprofessionals. This offer infuriated the United Educators of San Francisco, who allege that is still not a living wage.
"They're coming to us and saying 'this is almost the best we can offer,'" Dennis Kelly, president of UESF told the Guardian. "What the hell does that mean?"
Paraprofessionals often work in special education or early childhood education, and some are security aides. There are between 1,350 and 1,500 of those employees at any given time in the district, Kelly told us, noting they're also a group made up largely of minorities and women.
In a statement to the press, SFUSD Superintendent Richard Carranza said the district made the best offer it could under the circumstances.
"We are committed to providing salary increases this year and in the future as long as the revenues from the state continue to grow," Carranza wrote. "Unfortunately the state's forecast for school budgets just got a lot worse. Governor Brown just said that he is now expecting districts to pay a bill, in the amount of several billion dollars, to cover the State's unfunded pension liabilities as soon as next school year and every year after for the foreseeable future. This expenditure will spend a significant amount of the very same revenues we are counting on to provide services for our students and salary increases for our employees."
As the district struggles with its bills, the paraprofessionals are facing the very real rising costs of living in San Francisco. The average pay for a paraprofessional is $25,000, Kelly told us, adding "you're employing 1,000 of these people at poverty wages."
The UESF will take a vote to authorize a strike vote in August, and the negotiations between the UESF and the school district is expected to be mediated soon.
In the meantime, for 800 or so employees at least, Haney's minimum wage increase should bring some much-needed good news to a school district beleaguered with money woes. Though the raise would only bump employees a dollar fifty or two dollars an hour more, Haney said, "it's a symbolic in some ways, but important."
And as a school district that mostly serves poor and disadvantaged students, Haney added, "if anyone should know about poverty in schools, it's us."
Correction: An earlier version of this story inaccuately cited the district's wage offer. The Guardian apologizes for the error.
bunch of insiders and vested interests?
But, but, but... think of the children!
What about the other people such as plummers,painters,engineers,carpenters who have not seen a raise in 6yrs. Other city tradesman and women make 12% more than SFUSD TRADESPEOPLE.... How is this even possible? They both do the exact same job,go thru the same process and have the same qualifications..
Reality strikes again.
does not mean one is educated. A quick mind and an advanced degree does not equal wisdom.
and who is not?
it is the outcome of the decision or policy
Without that then "X is wise" is identical to "I agree with X".

will rise to 11.20 or so (4%) w/o current ballot measure on Jan 1, 2015.
If the previous game is too adventurous for you, simply try flapping
a blanket in the air above your ferret as if you were
fluttering a bed sheet over a mattress. Not once did we take into consideration the cost of these dragons.
Most ferrets are easily trained to use a litter box and it helps if it is kept in the
same place in their cage or in the corners of your "ferret room".
School districts are increasingly asked to choose between...
Funding Pensions
Certified Teacher Wages
Non-Certified Staff Wages
Part-time cross-walk and hall monitor staffs.
Bringing these part-time minimum wage workers in line with the City of SF will increase the cost of these workers by more than 50%. That will need to come from somewhere - from the other worker's wage increases. And don't screed about "tax the Corporations and the 1%" - that is just hot air.
even though the taxpayers clearly are not interested in writing them a blank check.
The truth is that we probably need to cut employee pay and benefits if the current model is ever to be sustainable.
On the other hand, at least this is a real issue - unlike his BIG measure to let kids wear hats (even if they provide gang affiliations)!
To clarify, the dress code change gave school sites the ability to make decisions on dress code themselves, including on hats, by lifting an outdated top-down, districtwide ban on hats. Schools can still ban hats, with "gang" colors, if they choose to do so. They just have to determine the policy in an inclusive way with the voices of parents, teachers, and students taken into consideration. It was hardly a "big" measure. It passed after very limited debate on the Board, little time spent on it, and no opposition from other Board members.

As the recession forces an end to the age of architecture built on excess, we should celebrate the austerity of Nottingham Contemporary
First impressions: crikey, it's austere. Nottingham Contemporary, the city's long-awaited new modern art gallery, might well be roofed in gold and fringed in lace, but when you first spy it, turning the corner from Middle Pavement, you're greeted with a wall of precast concrete, tinted pale green (yes, green concrete) but precast concrete all the same. The local papers have called it a concrete bunker and on a drizzly Friday in November you can see why. This, ladies and gentlemen, is an anti-icon.
The times they are a-changin' in British architecture. You can sniff it in the air. Maybe it's the recession, not just because building projects are stalling — more because values are changing. Two years ago you could propose a revolving skyscraper bedecked in golden columns and purple unicorns and be taken halfway seriously. Now, like long-haul flying, architectural excess is sniffed at with a disdain approaching distaste. The icon project, while not quite dead (people will always want showbiz), is having a good lie down in the post-Noughties age. There is no more public or private money in the kitty for revolving skyscrapers, and Dubai is sooo 2005. The last of the big projects given cash before the lottery bodies pulled the plug on funding are completing — such as the Ashmolean Museum extension in Oxford, opened last week. Some have been glorious, others less so. But we shall not see their like again for a good long while. This is a time to take stock, pause, reassess. This is a time for change.
And taking change by the scruff of the neck is a whole new generation of architects, such as Caruso St John, of Nottingham Contemporary. I don't know what to call them. Anti-iconists? Yuck. "The whisperers,†one critic suggests. "The Puritans,†another says. The "New Tweediesâ€, someone whispered to me, malevolently.
I came up with Radtrads — radical traditionalists — which doesn't quite do the job. I've heard this movement called the "New Seriousnessâ€, which hardly trips off the tongue either. The generation's spiritual leader, the Swiss architect Peter Zumthor, coined, half jokingly, "slow architecture†when I met him three years ago. "Like slow food,†he clarified. It means tradition, but with a modern twist — think of Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall, not the Prince of Wales. Brick and stone, not glass and steel. Muted, not DayGlo colours. Paul Smith, not Jean Paul Gaultier.
Get the local reference? Subtle, eh? Slow architecture is all about the subtle local reference. A new building, you see, always has a problem. It's new. It sticks out. Icon projects don't give a damn, sticking out farther, dazzling you with tricks. An anti-icon plays a more discreet game.
Slow architecture has been bubbling under for a decade, as a generation of architects interested in tradition and craft, Caruso St John, David Chipperfield, Tony Fretton, Sergison Bates and Eric Parry, emerged from beneath the vast hi-tech, high- modernist shadow of Norman Foster, Sir Richard Rogers and Will Alsop — more interested in buildings as machines — that has dominated British architecture since the 1960s. Slow architecture's penchant for solid, subtle buildings designed for the long term, not headlines, never found favour with the kind of new Labour PFI contractors who wanted (cheap) instant results for urban renaissance, or the kind of clients who wanted to make a big splash.
Now, perhaps, the weather's changing in Britain. Already, in 2005, Alsop had half-jokingly proposed forming a "gang†with like-minded icon-lovers to stop the rise of what he called "beige architectureâ€. Nottingham's city fathers thought they wanted an icon. After all, you don't get more iconic than contemporary art galleries: the Centre Pompidou in Paris, Tate Modern in London, and the Guggenheim in Bilbao.
But Caruso St John soon disabused them of that silly notion. "You try and get to the root of what they mean. A Santiago Calatrava building, or something like that,†Adam Caruso says. "And then you try to explain maybe that isn't necessary.†Caruso does a nice line in polite disdain. Guess who came second in the design competition? Zaha Hadid. Caruso shivers at the thought.
"The problem with those types of building is that they tend to be standoffish. They might feel shiny and new, but after five years buildings aren't new any more. After ten years they are getting on a bit, and after 25 years they are old, and I think you have to think about what the perception will be when it's old.
"Our practice is rather against that idea that you can put our building anywhere. We want to make buildings that are rooted and insinuate themselves into the site.â€
Caruso St John's building does not have the wow factor. For that they can be grateful. You have to take time over it. Yes, first impressions are austere. Then you start to notice things. For example, the way the building grows out of the landscape, hanging off the craggy hill of Nottingham's old town — the Lace Market — as if just another chunk of rock. An icon would have competed with the spire of the Unitarian chapel next door, and the gentle crown of St Mary's Church. Nottingham Contemporary, though, hunkers down. It slots into the streetscape, its roofline meeting on one side Lace Market's Victorian neighbours, on the other the arse end of the 1960s Broadmead Shopping Centre. That's some gap to bridge, but it bridges it magnificently.
Yet this is no shrinking violet. For a start, yes, it is roofed in gold and fringed in lace, the latter pattern, straight out of your granny's sitting room, pressed into the façade's precast concrete panels by students at the University of Derby's textile department.
"It's our most Las Vegas building so far,†Caruso says. "It was so dumb, this idea that you make a building with a lace façade in the Lace Market, that it is probably the right thing to do ... so direct.â€
The firm has been studying decoration on buildings for some time. Its extension to the V&A's Museum of Childhood, East London, revived Victorian polychromy. Start staring at the building and beyond the obvious, the lace, you begin to peel back the layers. The austerity, for instance, and the vertical rhythm of the concrete panels nod to the Lace Market's Victorian warehouses, and, in part, says Caruso, to the "found spaces†and lofts of 1960s New York, where the contemporary art world was born. But, just as the Victorians did, "you have to add that little bit of luxury†to the industrial aesthetic. Caruso loves the way in which you can walk around the Lace Market and the buildings' characters change as you approach and walk past. "That's all part of a building's richness.†Walk down Weekday Cross and the huge windows cut into the gallery façade draw you in like a shop window: art is right on the street, competing with happy hour at the next-door bars. Go in and the imprint of the site creates peculiarly shaped galleries. Caruso didn't want an abstract white cube but a space with character. It won't suit all art.
The building feels as if it's going to age well, that it's going to develop a patina. So many recent British buildings look as if they have been knocked up like a shelving unit and wrapped in wallpaper. This one looks geological, as if it's here for eternity.
Time will tell..

Arizona congressman requests pay suspension during shutdown

PHOENIX -- An Arizona congressman has requested his pay be suspended while the federal government is partially shut down.
Rep. Matt Salmon said he made the request to recognize the federal employees who were going without paychecks during the shutdown.
"Because this gridlock has unfairly affected thousands of furloughed federal employees, I have voluntarily requested that my congressional pay be suspended for the duration of the appropriations lapse," he said in a statement.
Salmon said the disagreement is a "new low in gridlock politics" and said House Republicans have submitted four bills to alleviate the shutdown only to have them rejected by Senate Democrats.

"I subscribed to HCN for a number of years, loved every issue...I stopped subscribing because my work load escalated. It was ok the first few months but after six months I was regretting the decision...the relevance of HCN did not diminish. I continued to look at the enticing titles of articles in the online newsletter but couldn't read enough to satisfy the craving. So I'm back. I also kicked in another 50 bucks as a personal reminder that quality reporting is not free."

Fire officials on scene say the fire started in the upper level of one of the apartment units. That unit sustained heavy smoke and fire damage, and the units below were damaged by water used to fight the fire. Residents were home at the time of the fire, but were able to make it out safely, according to fire officials on scene. At least two families are displaced after the fire.
The cause of the blaze is still being investigated.

Williams Gathering GOP Support for Another Term As Speaker?
While House Speaker Kent Williams is still officially not a Republican, he apparently will have at least some support from Republican representatives in seeking a second term as speaker.
State Rep. Harry Brooks, R-Knoxville, says that he plans to support Williams for a second term while Rep. Frank Niceley, R-Strawberry Plains, said he would, too, "if he does as good next year as he did this year" in presiding over the House.
The Knoxville lawmaker said that he believes Williams has performed well and also feels a "sense of loyalty" to the man who appointed him chairman of the House Education Committee.
"That's just the way I'm made," said Brooks.
Brooks said his backing of Williams would come in the House Republican Caucus and would not vote for Williams if he loses in the caucus nominating process. Niceley said " it's too early to say" whether he would back Williams over another nominee.
"Who knows? They might want to nominate me," he said.
Niceley said he believes Williams' bipartisan approach in appointing committee chairs and balancing committees was appropriate.
"Republicans cussed (former House Speaker Jimmy) Naifeh for 20 years for having all Democrats," he said. "If we'd gone in there and put in all Republicans, what would be the difference?"
Williams last year voted for himself as speaker along will all 49 House Democrats, giving him a victory over Republican Caucus nominee, Jason Mumpower of Bristol.
He was subsequently banished from the GOP by former Republican Chairman Robin Smith, who cited a party bylaw that says Republican legislators must back the party nominee in legislative leadership elections.
The current GOP chairman, Chris Devaney, had met once with Williams to discuss the possibility of reinstatement as a Republican. The matter was not resolved both have indicated they likely will meet again.
Other Republican representatives who have been supportive of Williams, questioned when encountered last week at the Legislative Plaza, stopped short of saying they favor electing him to another term at this point.
Deputy Speaker Steve McDaniel of Parker's Crossroads, for example, said that his first concern is to have Williams returned to the Republican fold. If that doesn't happen, "well, I don't know... we'll just wait and see," he said.
Of course, if Democrats regain control of the House in next year's elections, Williams would then likely need united support from Republicans plus backing from one or more Democrats, depending on the numbers. That would likely be a more difficult situation for Williams achieving a second term.
Thus, it's not surprising that Williams attended a fundraiser for Pat Marsh, the GOP nominee in the House District 62 special election next month. Should Marsh win, that would boost the Republicans' House margin from the 50-49 (counting Williams) to 51-48 since the seat was held by Democrat Curt Cobb.

From Here to Serenity
All too soon, I'm gently ushered into the steam room to meet the therapist who will complete my treatments. She has scented the steam with sandalwood oil�therapeutic, she says, for my constitution. There are cool cloths for head, heart, and groin, and water or warm tea to drink. Twenty minutes later, she escorts me across the hall for the next treatment�a delicious-smelling concoction of warm milk, sandalwood paste, and chickpea flour which she spreads all over me. I want to eat it.
My therapist then begins shirodhara, the process of gently pouring warm oil onto the center of my forehead. The purpose is to move the nervous system into a state of deep repose. It works. Though the treatment lasts half an hour, I only last 10 minutes. I awake warm, slippery, and the consistency of an overdone noodle. "Are you ready for your shower?" she inquires. "If I must," I reply, incapable of argument. As warm water slides over my well-greased body, I am careful not to strip the therapeutic oils with too much soap. Never have I felt so profoundly relaxed and nurtured. Can I really submit to such treatment four more times? You bet.
Back in my clothes, fatigue drops me on the sofa before I can attempt the seven-minute walk to my room. By dinner time, I'm so tired I wonder if there's any sense going to the lecture that evening. Needless to say, early to bed is easy. The next morning I awake at 5:30 without the alarm, feeling very refreshed.
By Tuesday evening I find I'm less exhausted by the treatments. Ed Danaher, the panchakarma coordinator, assures me the immobilizing fatigue after Monday's treatment was actually a good sign. It seems my body is releasing deep exhaustion. Now I'm ready for the second phase of panchakarma, where three consecutive days of self-administered herbal enemas (basti) are added to my treatments. Basti removes excess vata from the body. Because vata is the dosha involved in movement, it is implicated in all imbalances. Basti is not new to me. I had done it at home from the instructions in Dr. Lad's Complete Book of Ayurvedic Home Remedies (Three Rivers Press, 1999) and found it beneficial.
On Wednesday afternoon, things take a challenging turn. The air-conditioned room where I receive my massage gives me a chill, and by the end of the session, I'm shivering. The chills intensify even in the steamer, and I start sobbing helplessly, panicked that my blissful week will be cut short by sickness. The staff is responsive, but not intrusive. Aware that I'm overreacting, unable to stop, I feel strangely reassured by a sense that they've seen it all before. The remaining treatments are altered to balance my current state. I'm supported until I stabilize, and Danaher offers his home number, encouraging me to call with any concerns. Tonight even the short walk home is beyond my capacity. I accept a ride and fall into bed. There were actually several times throughout the treatment that felt emotionally raw, and the skills I had learned over years of intensive meditation retreats served me well in managing my psychology. Both American and Indian experts agree that an emotional release is essential to the purification process. Dr. Smita Naram, who runs the Ayushakti Ayurved Health Center in Mumbai, India, with her husband Dr. Pankaj Naram, tells me later that the patient is never manipulated to precipitate catharsis. It just happens as a natural by-product of cleansing. The possible aggravation of emotions makes it critical that the entire process is surrounded by gentleness and nurturance, and thankfully, my therapists provide these.

A crane with enough muscle to lift up to 700 tons pulled a sunken freighter to the surface of the Hylebos Waterway on Thursday, then set it back on the bottom again.
Its part of the painstaking process of ridding the Tacoma waterway of the Helena Star, a 167-foot ship that sank in January. Crews resume work Friday with the goal of raising the ship and eventually towing it to Seattle to be dismantled.
With a vessel that old and in that condition, they felt it was best to put it back down and take a look at it, said Toni Droscher, spokeswoman for the state Department of Natural Resources aquatic division.
Crews pulled the ship from its side onto its keel Thursday as they raised it for a first look. That allows divers to more fully inspect the righted vessel on the bottom.
It was the latest stage of a recovery process that started right after the January sinking with the containment of about 600 gallons of oil and continued in October with the removal of another vessel, the Golden West, that had been tangled with the Helena Star.
Before going down to its doom, the Helena Star performed a starring role in a criminal enterprise.
The 1940s-era ship was already aging in 1978 when a Coast Guard cutter intercepted it off the coast of Washington, seizing the ship and its cargo: bales of marijuana valued at $74 million, according to News Tribune archives. It was the biggest local pot bust to that point.
Thats how the Helena Star came to Seattle. New owners moved it to Tacoma in 2011, the Department of Ecology said.
But the ownership of the vessel has proved complicated for authorities to settle.
When the state issued orders to remove the sunken ship, it named a series of people and companies connected with the boat.
Its a common problem with derelict vessels, Droscher said. There can sometimes be a deal made on a handshake but that doesnt mean its legal, legally binding, she said.
Natural Resources took custody of the ship after no one claimed it. We will try our best to recoup our costs, Droscher said.
Raising and dismantling the ship is expected to cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, she said. Federal oil-spill money and special funding approved by the Legislature after the spill is paying for the operation.
Exactly how much it costs will depend on whats found when the ship is examined at Stabbert Yacht and Ship near the Ballard Locks, where it is to be broken apart and disposed of. Theres also the possibility with a boat that age that there could be asbestos or PCBs or lead, Droscher said.
The sinking of the vessel is still being investigated, U.S. Coast Guard petty officer third class Jordan Akiyama said.
We dont have a clear idea of what caused it to sink in the first place, he said.
The freighter was on a state watch list for several years, but money to remove it was lacking.
The state has whittled down its list of derelict boats, but it still contains about 160 vessels.

I'm on my second 24-105, not because there was any problem, but rather that I sold the first one for more than the difference between a 5d3 body and a 5d3 kit.
Geez, I wish I had thought of doing that when I bought my 5D3 in December. I've had my 24-105 for 7+ years, and even though it still takes great shots, it suffers from zoom creep, which I haven't been able to remedy.
Black insulation tape, round the extending barrel part. Put it at the end of the barrel that will keep the barrel in its retracted position, when you retract it.
Mine's been working just great like this for a while now.

Rubbish. It's a simple, easy, common-sense fix, and carefully-done, looks just fine too.

UTF-8 problem when migrating data
14 March 2009 at 8:42am Last edited: 15 March 2009 6:24am
I just created my first silverstripe website with my own template - and I like silverstripe!
Now I'm trying to migrate the content from my old joomla site. I exported the content into CSV-file and converted it to the structure of SiteTree-table. Then I imported the CSV into my silverstripe database. All fine ... but now I am in trouble with the charset.
- CSV-file is UTF-8
- mySQL database is UTF-8
- _config.php includes: ContentNegotiator::set_encoding('utf-8');
- my page.ss includes <meta http-equiv="Content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" >
- I even checked the database content by SELECT HEX(TITLE) FROM SiteTree
But the german umlaut characters (i.e. ä = U+00E4 = UTF-8 c3 a4) is still not displayed, neither in CMS nor in in frontend.
The Content (HTML-field) is ok, but Title and MenuTitle is wrong.
Then I tried to enter an "ä" into CMS and I was very astonished that silverstripe coded it as hex C3 83 C2 A4 into database.
I don't think that this is UTF-8 !
Why doesn't Silverstripe use UTF-8 ? I'm very confused.
Thanks in advance
Re: UTF-8 problem when migrating data
15 March 2009 at 7:24am
Hm, we don't usually have problems with this, SilverStripe handles UTF8 fine - whats the collation of your database fields?
Re: UTF-8 problem when migrating data
15 March 2009 at 11:16pm Last edited: 15 March 2009 11:34pm
The collation is "utf8_unicode_ci" and i also tried "utf8_general_ci".
Re: UTF-8 problem when migrating data
16 March 2009 at 6:17am Last edited: 18 March 2009 10:31am
I made some experiments on three installations:
1. local wampp under Windows XP
2. ubuntu on a virtual system
3. debian server of my host-provider
In every case I created a page in CMS with ä ö ü Ä Ö Ü characters in the title.
But there is no UTF-8 in any database. The umlaut-characters are always coded in 4 bytes instead of 2 bytes. Is it UTF-32?
I cannot believe that SilverStripe uses UTF-8 at all.
It is no problem if you only create pages in CMS. But I would like to know what charset SilverSripe really uses. It would make migrations easier.
Re: UTF-8 problem when migrating data
20 March 2009 at 10:35am
Uhm, I really can't follow you. Just tried a run of the mill 2.3 installation with umlauts in Title, MenuTitle and Content (all entered through CMS), they all render fine in a standard blackcandy theme with content-type delivered as utf8.
Try it yourself on demo.silverstripe.com - if you're quick (next 30 min?), you can see my umlaut test page on there: http://demo.silverstripe.com/umlaut-test/.
This is how silverstripe sets the collation for SiteTree->Content: mediumtext character set utf8 collate utf8_general_ci
Here's the utf-8 setting which every site gets through the bootstrapper - admittedly its harder *not* to use utf8 than it is to have it working out of the box ;) http://open.silverstripe.com/browser/modules/sapphire/branches/2.3/main.php#L61
Re: UTF-8 problem when migrating data
20 March 2009 at 11:06pm
Hello Ingo,
thank you for your reply. I agree with you, that there is no problem with umlaut-characters, if you enter it in CMS. There are displayed both on CMS and frontend very well.
If you have a look on your MySQL database you will see, that the characters are not stored as utf-8 in SiteTree-table.
I.e. make SELECT HEX(TITLE) WHERE ID = ...
At least on my three installations the umlauts where codes in 4 bytes i.e. ä = C383C2A4. It isn't utf-8!
Could you please try a SQL-Query on your demo-database to check it?
Best regards,
Re: UTF-8 problem when migrating data
20 March 2009 at 11:54pm
Hey Fanta, I've roughly traced through the execution of saving a dataobject through to the database column, can't find anything suspicious that would deviate from our UTF-8 defaults. We need to get better about using multibyte safe PHP5 functionality though, I've opened a new ticket about this: http://open.silverstripe.com/ticket/3746 - not sure if its related to your problem.
Any help in this area is appreciated (both in-depth testing and patches).
I found PHPWACT quite helpful to figure out UTF-8 in PHP: http://www.phpwact.org/php/i18n/utf-8
Unfortunately you can't expect PHP to do the "right thing" by default apparently... the list on this page is fairly frightening
Not sure why and how you got UTF-16 or even 32 characters in your db - can you give more details on your server setup, system locale, php locale, php.ini and mysql conf?
Re: UTF-8 problem when migrating data
26 March 2009 at 9:56am
Hello Ingo,
now I understand how the characters are coded:
i.e. ä-umlaut is ASCII hex E4 -> converted to UTF-8 hex C3 A4
If you interpret the two bytes again as ASCII, you can convert them again:
ASCII hex C3 (Ã) -> UTF-8 hex C3 A3
ASCII hex A4 (¤) -> UTF-8 hex C2 A4
These are the 4 bytes (C3 A3 C2 A4) I found in my database. Silverstripe makes the ASCII->UTF-8 conversion two times!
Unfortunatly I'm not strong enough in PHP-programming, but maybe somebody can find the bug by this hint.
The main problem is, that if you change the program, all existing SilverStripe-installations will get problem with their content
Best regards,
