Hampshire County Schools Return to Full Local Control
Posted: April 08, 2009
CHARLESTON, W.Va. – The West Virginia Board of Education voted Wednesday during its monthly meeting to return Hampshire County Schools to full local control and grant the county full approval status.
"Hampshire County Schools has worked extremely hard to address the problem areas," said state Superintendent of Schools Steve Paine. "Decisions are being made in the best interest of the students."
In February 2005, the West Virginia board called for a state of emergency in Hampshire County Schools and unanimously voted to place Hampshire County Schools on nonapproval status. The board took the action after reviewing an Office of Education Performance Audit (OEPA) report that highlighted questionable financial practices and hiring practices in the Hampshire County District Offices.
Some of the more serious findings included the discovery that federal migrant grant funds were misspent in 1999 and $35,000 of a $75,000 state grant was misspent. The later misspent funds were ordered returned to the state.
The West Virginia Board of Education intervened in Hampshire County in January 2006 after a second OEPA audit found that financial and personnel problems still existed more than six months after the board first declared a state of emergency.
In 2007, the state board entered into an agreement to return local control to Hampshire County under certain conditions and conditional approval status.
In March 2009 the OEPA team returned to Hampshire County for the last in a series of visits to check county progress in problem areas.
"Overall we found that things were in order in Hampshire," said OEPA Executive Director Kenna Seal. "I commend county administrators on financial management, hiring and teacher licensure practices. We feel employee relationships are healthy in Hampshire County and professionalism was displayed in the county."
Hampshire County Board President Bernie Hott credited the board and Department of Education staff for helping the county correct deficiencies.
"I know that when we came here 39 months ago, I vowed we would do what we needed to gain back control," Hott said. "I cannot thank the state board and Department of Education enough for their guidance as we gained back local control of our schools. We will make you proud."
McDowell, Lincoln, Mingo, Randolph and Preston counties are currently under state control. For more information about Hampshire County Schools, contact the West Virginia Department of Education Communications Office at 304-558-2699.

Any word on BSG movie?

The BSG movie keeps getting side tracked because of larger profile productions that come down the pipe that suddenly get Bryan Singer's interest. Then B.S. goes off to do that project, and Galactica gets sidelined another couple of years. The hopes of doing a direct continuation with any of the original cast keep getting dimmer and dimmer, as many of them are now in their 60's (or older, except for Noah Hathaway, whom I believe is near, or just above 40), and today's younger crowd is not going to want to watch a movie filled with people they aren't familiar with.
The only hope of doing anything resembling the original series at this point is to do yet another reboot...in movie form.
My biggest fear is that Bryan Singer and Tom DeSanto will make this look like a fanboy-gasm movie. I think, in order for it to succeed in the format being proposed, a "Wrath of Khan" approach is needed. Get a director and screen writer who is not invested in a lifetime of Galactica lore.
I personally am not holding my breath for any Galactica movie.
Hard core old-schoolers are hoping for a movie that continues on the original series, and has absolutely NOTHING to do with the recent series. I am ambivalent. It could continue the original or the new series, and I'll be happy. But until then, until I see an actual trailer for it, it's a non-issue.
I've never heard before that they even were considering the original actors. Did anyone actually say that? This to me is new. I never got the impression they had enough of a treatment to be that specific.
I've only heard it was "based on the original series; not the Ron Moore reboot." Which could mean anything. The Ron Moore reboot was based on the original series. Sources get their semantics turned around and end up inarticulate because they're trying to be articulate (That this wasn't going to continue Ron Moore's version was always a given).
Glen Larson I know tried to propose a sequel/spin-off
Battlestar Pegasus
motion picture that would supposedly have been 'in continuity' with his original series. But he's a has-been TV producer who wouldn't understand how Hollywood works. And his plan didn't involve the original actors (prompting Richard Hatch to pitch
himself, until I suspect the Moore team co-opted him just to shut him up).
Even if they weren't 60-year-olds, they're TV actors. Nobody brings them to the big screen unless you're
Star Trek
The X-Files
. Even
Star Trek
probably couldn't tell you how they did it, other than history and pop culture seemed to be on their side when it happened. And they don't do it anymore. And
Star Trek.
It would be like making
The Undiscovered Country
Star Trek Nemesis
if the films prior had never happened.
I would seriously hope they remake it, reboot it, whatever it, because otherwise I can't see that they were ever that realistic about it to begin with.

Without having heard anything in a while (or checked to see when the most recent news was) I suspect this is another one of those.

Fedor Emelianenko fought Antonio Silva on Feb. 12, 2011, under the Strikeforce banner as part of the promotion's heavyweight grand prix tournament.
But had M-1 Global not been so "difficult to deal with," there's a chance they could have met for the EliteXC heavyweight title three years prior to that fateful winter night in New Jersey.
That's according to former EliteXC head honcho Gary Shaw, who tells Fight Hub TV that "no fighter" was worth the money M-1 was asking for the former PRIDE champion's services.
"I did try several times to get Fedor to come to EliteXC, but the numbers they were asking, there's no fighter who was worth that. I wasn't willing to meet their demands. I thought M-1 was very difficult to deal with. It wasn't only Fedor. They wanted to be the co-promoters and the managers and they wanted you to put on so many Russian fighters of theirs on every show. Nobody's worth that price. Maybe if Fedor would have had the right management from the beginning, he might have been in the UFC and been a huge star."
More from Shaw, including his thoughts on "The Last Emperor's" release, after the jump.
Emelianenko opted to join Affliction MMA and Silva went to Strikeforce (with a brief layover in Sengoku) following the dissolution of ProElite.
When the two heavyweights finally did collide, "Bigfoot" emerged victorious after doctor's deemed the Russian cyborg unfit to continue.
But would the results have been any different in 2008? We can only speculate -- and we should -- in the comments section below.
Sound off!

Five of Tampa's main arteries over the Hillsborough River look like they never have before.
"You've got this beautiful, natural element right in the middle of your city, you should magnify that," said Tracey Dear, a Chicago artist who is the artistic genius behind the project.
The "Aqua Luces," or water lights, are a permanent, artistic installation.
The undersides of Tampa's downtown bridges are now glowing nightly, and that has Mayor Bob Buckhorn beaming with pride.
"Just imagine what the world will see, with the minarets lit up, with Tampa Museum lit up, with the bridges lit up, where we are going to be able to tell Tampa's story, to the entire world," exclaimed an exuberant Buckhorn. "This is our coming out party, we are gonna make Tampa proud, and we are gonna shine!"
The super-bright LED lighting is also, super green.
"It's very, very energy efficient," Dear said. "The power consumption for the entire project is probably a lot less than most people's houses."
Bridges along Kennedy Boulevard, Brorein Street, the Platt Street Bridge and the CSX railroad tracks are all included. The CSX was challenging, but is one of Dear's best, he said.
"It looks spectacular!," said Dear. "It's one of my favorites, the fact that it stands up in the air, most of the time."
It's taken about six years to get the whole project finalized, and just in time for the Republican National Convention.
"This is not for the RNC!," Buckhorn told the huge crowd Friday night. "This is for us!"
It all looks very dramatic and will no doubt be a real eye catcher for years to come.
"There will be a water theme one day, there'll be a glimpses of Tampa, where people have to guess where that's taken from," said Dear. "I've used some landmarks around the city and kind of zoomed in on them a bit."
"Oh, they're awesome," said John DeCort, who was with his kids watching the lights come on. "They're amazing, they look great."
"It looks all colorful and stuff," laughed his son Andrew.
"I thought it was pretty cool, and it changed colors, and I thought, that's it?," said his daughter Anna Marie. "Then it changed colors, and I'm like oh my gosh! That's so cool!"
Reactions like that, Dear hopes, will keep people coming back for years.
"Yeah, exactly, like moths to a lightbulb," he said.

The East Creek Day Use Area is the eastern most BLM land in the canyon. The rock is all sandstone ranging in quality from slightly sandy to solid. There may be some loose rocks on the routes until more people begin using them. The area is frequented by picnickers; however, I have never had a problem with them, they seem to enjoy watching climbers. All routes can be walked off of.
Getting There
The area is accessible from the first two large pullouts on the right just inside BLM land. This is about 2 miles west of US Hwy. 50 on CO Hwy 141. All routes are less than 20 yards from a pullout.

After a series of data breaches earlier this year, members of the U.S. Congress raged about the irresponsibility of breached companies and introduced a flurry of bills requiring companies to notify affected customers when data is lost.
Nine months after a breach at data broker ChoicePoint Inc. was announced, Congress has debated a handful of bills but no data notification bill has passed either the House of Representatives or the Senate. U.S. companies reported more than 60 data breaches between January and September this year, and Congress, as well as a number of state legislatures, responded with dozens of pieces of legislation, many modeled after a 2003 California law requiring companies to tell affected customers about data breaches.
Despite an outcry over the dozens of data breaches this year, most observers say Congress is unlikely to pass a data breach notification bill until sometime in 2006, partly because of growing concerns that most of the bills would take a step backward from existing state laws. As Congress has focused on other issues late this year, some consumer and privacy groups are in no hurry to see federal data breach notification legislation pass -- at least not most of the legislation introduced in Congress this year.
"They're driving toward such a weak standard, [legislation] may get stuck," said Gail Hillebrand, senior attorney with Consumers Union, a consumer advocacy group. "If it's that weak, it should get stuck."
Twenty-one states have now passed some form of a data breach notification bill, including a tough New York law that makes no exception for small data breaches or breaches unlikely to result in identity theft, set to go into effect next month. A "patchwork quilt" of state laws, as some critics have called the multiple laws, has caused some large businesses and trade groups to call for a national law that preempts state laws.
Many of the congressional bills allow breached companies to decide if the breach is likely to lead to identity theft, and thus warrants consumer notification. Consumers Union and privacy advocacy groups such as the Center for Democracy and Technology (CDT) say companies would have little incentive to report any breach without some government oversight.
"You don't want the [notification] trigger so subjective that you never report," said Dan Burton, vice president of government affairs for Entrust Inc., a security software vendor.
Backers of such provisions say there's a danger of consumers becoming numb if they get dozens of breach notifications a month. Earlier this month, a subcommittee of the House Energy and Commerce Committee approved a bill, called the Data Accountability and Trust Act, that would require companies to notify affected consumers of breaches when there's a "significant risk" of ID theft. The DATA bill would have to be approved by the full committee before going to a vote on the House floor.
A broader notification standard would drive up costs for businesses and inundate consumers with meaningless warnings, said Representative Cliff Stearns, a Florida Republican and chairman of the House Subcommittee on Commerce, Trade and Consumer Protection. "This bill sets strong national standards, provides for increased oversight of information brokers, and creates a workable data security and breach notification regime that provides incentives for technological solutions to security issues that will benefit consumers and the nation's commercial infrastructure alike," Stearns said in a statement.

I have a 25 man/woman Ventrilo server that I am going to make available for draft chat for the next few days.
You don't have to talk, you are free to just lurk and listen. I don't know if you can join on your smartphone to keep up with the draft that way.
Download Ventrilo here. Just the client, I have the server.
Go ahead and get it all set up, please use the push to talk key option. So we don't have to hear all the background noise. Realize people can only hear 1 person at a time. If multi people try to talk no one will hear a thing.
If you have to set up your user info please use your logon name on the blog so people will know who is talking. The speaker by your name lights up green when you are broadcasting.
Also realize this is my server, I am the one with the ban hammer and I don't have Dave's patience. I have no problem booting trolls, and swiftly. I have several channels, the default one you join when you log into the server will be the "normal" one. If you want to drop Fbombs every other word, talk about sex, etc I will ask you to go to the next channel down. Or if 2 or more people want to hold another discussion you are all welcome to pick any channel. Just realize anyone can join you. I do not ask for totally clean language, just keep it within reason.
If all you want to do is join and rant about how Romo sucks, Jerry sucks, fire JG and not have intelligent discussions you may find yourself put in another channel with like minded people, or I may ask you to tone it down. If you don't, you can expect me to boot you. I like debates, and reasonable discussions. But I don't care to listen to someone on their soapbox spouting ESPN crap.
I am going to keep the server for this blogs use only till Sunday evening. At that time I will change the password. So anytime you want to hop on to chat, discuss potential picks, already made picks or anything else football related feel free to hop on and see if anyone else is there also. I will not be in the chat all the time personally. And the log on spots are 1st come, 1st serve. 25 get in, no one else will be able to connect. When you are leaving your comp for a extended period of time, please drop the chat so someone else can join if they wish.
If this goes reasonably well I will do it for games when the season starts also.
Here is the log on info. I will post the draft only password after I get off this afternoon.
fluorine.typefrag.com Hostname
59009 Port number
Cooper Password. And caps must be used for the "C" or it won't work!
I am hanging out in the vent channel if any of you want to make sure you have it all working before the draft starts. Sometimes it takes a bit of playing with it to get everything going smoothly.

Josh Duckworth Named NWC Male Student Athlete of the Week
News Release Date:
Tuesday, January 8, 2013
Walla Walla, WA (January 8, 2013) – Whitman point-guard, Josh Duckworth, has been named the Northwest Conference Male Student Athlete of the Week for his performance over three games, from December 29 thru January 5.
|Josh Duckworth, Jr.
The junior from Los Angeles, California had a career high against Lewis & Clark on the road last Friday, tallying 34 points as he scored 15 of Whitman's last 17 points in a span of 2 minutes 27 seconds. Although the effort could not prevent an 88 – 84 loss, Duckworth's performance was memorable. He also grabbed 6 boards. The following night, again, on the road, Duckworth poured in 13 in the Missionaries 76 – 65 win over Pacific. On December 29, Duckworth tallied 14 against Hamline University.
Over the three game stretch, the 6 – 2 guard averaged just over 20 points and elevated himself to the number 12 ranked scorer in the NWC.
"Duck" as his teammates and coaching staff refer to him, is the third Whitman basketball player to earn the NWC Student Athlete of the Week honor this season. Teammate Ben Eisenhardt (Jr, Bainbridge Island, WA) earned the award two weeks ago and Lady Missionaries' guard Heather Johns (So, W. Richland, WA) was chosen in early December.
The Men's team is in action tonight against #5 Whitworth – 8 pm tip-off, with the #19 ranked Lady Missionaries facing Whitworth at 6 pm.
Live video of the game can be accessed by clicking on: mms://media.whitworth.edu/events; for live stats: http://www.whitworth.edu/Athletics/Teams/basketball/livestats/xlive.htm; and for just audio:http://www.ksbn.net/listen.pls.

Although a baby's activity level, appetite, and cries normally vary from day to day, even hour to hour, a distinct change in any of these areas may signal illness.
If you listen closely, you'll notice that your baby's breathing isn't like yours. Babies breathe much more frequently and with different patterns than adults. Here's how to recognize normal breathing in your infant—and how to spot signs of respiratory distress.
Though the name sounds like a disease, colic is really just a term for excessive crying in an infant. Unfortunately, nobody knows for sure what causes colic, but there are several theories and possible risk factors for the condition.
Detailed information on fevers in children
If your baby seems fussy and you've fed and changed him, he may have an upset stomach or colic. But don't worry, there are lots of things you can do to make your little one more comfortable and keep both of you calm.
A newborn with this condition has too much bilirubin in the blood. Bilirubin causes a yellowing of the baby's skin and tissues. This is called jaundice.
Natal teeth are teeth that are present when the infant is born. They are usually the infant's primary teeth (or baby teeth) that have come in early.
The color of a baby's skin can often help identify possible problems in another area of the body. It is important for you to call your doctor if certain skin color changes occur.

After a tumultous week, I think it has become clear by the response of this community how much our football program means to us. The threads were getting hundreds of comments, and as was pointed out earlier, we had something like 50,000 unique visits to BN during those crazy days.
Most amazingly, there is a good chance that all the thoughtful comments provided here had an impact on the Rocky Seto situation.
SB Nation believes that a "grassroot internet effort" might have had a hand in making sure that our voices were heard with regard to having Rocky Seto as our Defensive Coordinator, when talking about our #VetoSeto campaign.
UCLA fans took to social media platforms to publicize the rhyming slam, boosters cornered athletic department staffers at Signing Day press events, and lo! Over the weekend, the L.A. Times reported the offer (if there ever was one) mysteriously vaporized:
Well it seems that there is passion for UCLA football after all.
tWWL took notice as well:
It appeared last week that Neuheisel was on the cusp of announcing Seto's hiring, but apparently things turned sour in the eleventh hour, perhaps in part because many Bruins fans didn't want a former Trojan running their defense, particularly one without a proven track record. Seto is presently on Pete Carroll's staff with the Seattle Seahawks helping with the secondary.
We all know that we are not the three wealthy and influential alumni...unless they are indeed amongst us. What we do know is that we are many, we truly care, and we have UCLA's best interests at heart. And if all indications are correct, the concerted effort by everyone here, via the thoughtful yet passionate comments, did in fact have an influence.
In short, a big thanks to everyone who contributed...and don't understimate the potential of this online community.

In its report on social care, the committee said the government must clarify which section of the population would be suitable for LTC insurance products before it begins reforming LTC state support.
The HSC recommended the government implements Andrew Dilnot's principles for the reform of long term care (LTC) funding.
In July 2011, the Dilnot Commission recommended that the government sets a cap of between £30,000 and £50,000 on the LTC fees any individual must pay and a cap of between £7,000 and £10,000 on any "hotel" costs, such as accommodation, related to LTC.
Dilnot also recommended the means testing threshold above which individuals become liable for their own care costs should be lifted from £23,250 to £100,000.
The HSC endorsed the Dilnot recommendations but said they do not provide "the whole answer", and called on the government to accept the principle of capped costs.
The HSC also called on the government to clarify which individuals would be suitable for LTC insurance products.
"The government should clarify the likely market for pre-funded insurance, equity release, and immediate needs annuities, as well for pension-related and other products," the report said.
It added: "It should also articulate how it will work with the industry to stimulate the market for these products."
Andrea Rozario, director general of equity release trade body Safe Home Income Plan (SHIP), welcomed the HSC's recognition of the LTC funding gap and its call for the government to clarify how LTC products can help close it.
"Dilnot told the HSC establishing a cap on care costs will provide a major opportunity for behaviour change'," said Rozario.
"If people know the amount that they will be expected to contribute towards any potential care costs it is possible that they will be more likely to plan for how to meet them."
However, LTC insurer Partnership has warned against implementing Dilnot's proposals as it said they are "potentially regressive".
Partnership said on average people with £500,000 of assets will contribute a lower proportion of their net wealth on care costs than those with £100,000 of assets.
The cap would also benefit those who live for more than the two and a half years it would take, on average, to reach the cap.
Chris Horlick, managing director of care at Partnership, said: "We welcome the HSC report.
"However, the government must ensure consumers are not confused about what they have to pay for and what the government pays for."

Two kids were honored tonight after saving the life of an abducted CMU student in January.
James and Acelin Persyn were at home in Shepherd when the CMU student came to their door asking for help.
The siblings let her in and called 911, while the abductor threatened to kill them.
The Isabella County Sheriff's Department wanted to recognize them for their bravery and quick-thinking that night.
James and Acelin say they are excited about the awards, and would help save someone's life again without question.
9 & 10's Meredith Barack and photojournalist Tony Zyber were there as they received the award.

Bringing great food and entertainment together is easily what Addison does best, and this weekend's 20th annual Taste Addison extravaganza was no exception. Over 60 restaurants brought selections from their menus to Addison Circle Park to make for an overwhelming variety of flavors to sample while enjoying live tunes by some great local bands and shopping from vendors of whimsical arts and crafts.
Jump for more.
Years of outdoor food festival attendance have taught me that food eaten outside tastes best when it has been prepared outside. My strategy is to follow the smell of searing meat to the vendors who said no to Sterno and packed up the grill instead. On The Border didn't disappoint. They brought the entire kitchen and half its staff. As I sat on the ground listening to Prophets and Outlaws lay down blues rock riffs and munching my beef tacos al carbon, I realized that they were better than anything I've ever had in the restaurant itself. Even the flour tortilla had been grilled, making for a slightly flaky, crisp greeting to the strips of grilled steak and onion topped with jack cheese and served with both red and green salsas.
Having satiated my physical hunger, I now turned to the Taste Showcase to satisfy my hunger for knowledge. Various chefs shared their secrets as they prepared recipes easily recreated in any home kitchen. Friday evening, I found Josh Maher of Sherlock's Pub and Grill whipping up a hearty shepherd's pie for the crowd.
If you feed a girl a steak taco, she'll be satisfied for a few hours. Teach her to grill a steak, and her carnivorous cravings will be aptly satisfied for a lifetime. I returned to the Taste Showcase Saturday afternoon to see what advice Dallas Cowboys running back and protein aficionado DeMarco Murray had to impart during his session of Cookin' with Gridiron Greats. CBS 11's Bill Jones provided the play-by-play as Murray minced garlic and seasoned the 14-ounce ribeye with ease.
The Taste Showcase also served as a sampling venue for local artisan products from spicy chicken flavored dill slices (from Pickelicious Pickles) to chocolate tortilla chips and with banana salsa by Dread Head Chef. Texas Toffee Queen Tamie Mitchell was happy to provide all with samples of her decadent assortment of toffees in traditional and unique flavors such as white chocolate mango chili. The Dark Chocolate Salted Blood Orange was my personal favorite. The salt brought the delicate citrus-y notes up just enough to give this rich toffee a light, refreshing finish.
Texas wineries Arche̕ and Blue Ostrich Winery were on hand to make sommeliers out of every freshman wine drinker in the house. Patrick Whitehead of Blue Ostrich Winery gave seminars detailing the process of winemaking from vine to glass.
If you missed Taste Addison, all its flavors are available in Addison or online every day.

Marcus Allen named A-Sun Player of the Week
Jan. 8, 2007
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - After helping JU to two straight Atlantic Sun Conference wins, sophomore Marcus Allen was named Atlantic Sun Conference "Player of the Week" as announced by the conference office on Monday.
Allen put up two monster efforts in guiding the Dolphins to their first conference wins since 2005. He opened the week with 11 points and eight rebounds against Garnder-Webb before scoring 15 points and pulling down a career-high 18 rebounds against Campbell.
"Marcus had an exceptional week and is very deserving of this honor," said JU head coach Cliff Warren. "But Marcus wasn't the only guy that played well, we had a lot of great efforts last week which helped us win."
Allen's two big games were aided by stellar scoring efforts around him. Against Gardner-Webb, Jesse Kimbrough scored a team-high 14 points with Corey Claitt and Evan Jefferson bombing away from outside with 10 apiece.
Against the Camels, freshman Tyrone Curnell stepped up with a season-high 20 points to lead four Dolphins in double figures. Allen pulled down 18 rebounds, the most by a Dolphin in two seasons.
Joining Allen was Kimbrough, who scored 17 points while dishing out four assists. Ben Smith was also a catalyst in that game, dishing out nine assists while scoring seven points.
Allen is the first Dolphin to earn the conference's weekly honor since late in the 2005 season.
JU is back in action on Tuesday as the Dolphins face rival North Florida. Tipoff is set for 7 p.m.

J Sheekey is bang in the middle of frenetic theatre-land in London (perfect pre-theatre). Escape the mania and look for 'Mr Ben' (man in top hat) who will open the way to old world glamour and fancy seafood. This is a local London institution and therefore attracts the posh grey tinted, well-heeled regulars, the intrepid tourists, the foodie celebrity and those with a penchant for a fancy fish supper. Sheekey's has an all consuming, buzzy vibe in smart but intimate art-deco surroundings. Lobster thermidor was huge, glorious and creamy (worth the extra £s) accompanied by fine crispy frites. Fish pie was cosy and buttery. There is an odd non-seafood dish in case you have a non-seafoody friend (I still do not understand it). There are cosy little tables in nooks and crannies of this restaurant which are usually booked well ahead, but if you need a last minute, quick (not so cheap) supper, ask for the bar and be wined, dined and entertained by the charming bartenders. I love this place, not just for the fish but for the London frisson.

Now that much tech specs for the F80 M3 / F82 M4 have been revealed, do you perceive the M3 any differently when seeing it in action?
We can finally be sure that what we are seeing and hearing is an M3 powered by its 3.0L bi-turbo inline 6 S55 engine outputting approximately 430 hp, far beyond 369 lb-ft, and to a redline just north of 7500 RPM.
Here is the F80 M3 prototype continuing some final testing on the Nurburgring ahead of its January debut at … CONTINUED
We have both good and bad news on Active Sound technology in the M3/M4. For those unfamiliar, Active Sound technology was first introduced in the M5/M6 and has extended to other models such as the M135i. The system modulates existing frequencies, which are played over the stereo speakers at varying sound levels based on throttle input, speed, and engine revs, as well driving the mode (louder in Sport and Sport+ settings). See BMW's original press release on this.
So, the bad news is yes, the M3/M4 … CONTINUED
Now that the M3 M4 technology day has come and gone, with access being granted to the press for the first time, BMW has released a slew of official track video footage of the prototypes. And since these are officially released videos, they feature some of the best quality video and audio yet of the F80 M3 / F82 M4.
For all the videos that have come about from the recent M3/M4 technology day, check the Videos section of our Tech Guide thread.
We've now had confirmation of the s55 engine's sightly above 7500 RPM redline via the official released specs, but seeing as how the tachometer and redline were ever elusive all these months and years of spy photos, we're happy to finally share with you images of the M3/M4′s redline.
Though the actual redline starts at the 7500 mark, expect the rev limiter to kick in a bit after that.
You've already seen the M3/M4 technical presentation slides in our Official Tech Guide Thread. Now view the presentation as it was meant to be digested – in animated form.
Who doesn't like fancy 360 degree rotating views and animated technical blow-ups… we definitely do.
Today's tests at the Nurburgring were stopped by a BMW F80 M3 crash ten minutes before the end of the session. The accident occurred at a section called "Metzgesfeld" where the driver lost control and crashed into the right guide rail.
Fortunately, the test driver is OK and was only fitted with a neck collar. The F80 M3 prototype was transported back to the BMW technical center at the Ring.
Unfortunate that this happened, but it gives us more looks at the advanced M3 and M4 prototypes … CONTINUED
We have added and updated more technical specs for the F80 M3 / F82 M4 in our Official Technical Guide.
Please see inside.
We've shared with you the M3/M4 official specs and our ride-along/workshop notes, now have an on board look as we ride with Bruno Spengler in the M4 prototype at BMW's proving grounds near Munich.
Bruno shares his thoughts on the EPS (electric power steering), turbos, transmission and testing on the Nurburgring.
And if you're wondering whether the in-cabin sounds you hear are artificially enhanced via Active Sound, we asked and were told by one of the BMW engineers that there was absolutely no artificial sound feature. … CONTINUED
BIMMERPOST correspondent Jens Meiners just spent a day at BMW's testing center near Munich for the BMW M3/M4 workshops and ride-along. Here is our report:
Thanks, BMW, for the earth-hugging i3 and the i8, but what enthusiasts really care about is the next M3 – and its two-door variation, the M4. Production of the current one has ended in July, while the next models won't go into production before Spring. Why the gap? We hear that BMW has essentially run out of parts to build them.

Helping mental health sufferers through creativity
12:00pm Wednesday 14th May 2014 in News
A CAMPAIGN to tackle mental health problems is to fund art events in Oxford in the coming weeks.
Time to Change has funded The Archway Foundation's "Creative Communications for Changing Perspectives" programme.
The foundation, based at the New Marston Pastoral Centre in Jack Straws Lane, is to bring together people with and without mental illness.
Archway project officer Louise Longson said: "We really want the people of Oxford to have the chance to find out more about mental health by talking to someone with personal experience. Just a few small words can make a big difference to someone with a mental health problem and talking about the issue can help to break down the stigma and discrimination."
Time to Change director Sue Baker said: "What events like this will do is ensure that everyone, from all different backgrounds, has the opportunity to get involved and play their part in tackling the taboo that surrounds mental health problems."
There is an art exhibition and demonstration at St Columba's United Reformed Church Hall, Alfred Street, on Saturday from 10.30am and 4.30pm, on Wednesday, May 21, from midday to 4.30pm, and on Saturday, May 24, from 10.30am to 4.30pm.
That day, DanceMania and Danny Scott from Point Zero Theatre will present physical theatre at Pegasus Theatre, Magdalen Road, from 2.30pm to 5.30pm.

You're eligible to claim cash if you had a Chase credit card and got charged for a payment protection product between Sept 2, 2004 and Nov 11, 2010, thanks to a recent class action settlement.
The suit alleges that JP Morgan Chase enrolled cardholders in Payment Protection Plans without being completely upfront about the terms of the plans. These plans suspend interest on balances and let you make only minimum monthly payments for up to two years. They are supposed to be for when a major life event or tragedy makes it impossible for you to keep paying your credit card bill. While normal interest is suspended, the program charged .8% of your balance as a monthly fee.

Albany- Friday, Southside Middle School math teacher Purvis Jackson was teaching basic geometry, but next week he will join his army reserve unit and report to Fort Bragg, North Carolina.
The 27 year old says being young helps him connect with the students, and that's one reason he'll miss them so much. Purvis says he's spent the entire year learning each student's personality and looks forward to coming back and seeing how they've progressed.
The students aren't the only ones who will miss Mr. Jackson in his absence. "He's one of the few male teachers here. The faculty, staff and students love him," admits Principal Johnny Scott.
Others, including language arts teacher Alma Misih, say they will be praying for Jackson's safe return.
Though Mr. Jackson told his students weeks ago about his deployment, he reminded them how he'd catch a plane back to Georgia if they didn't behave while he's gone.
Principal Scott says he already has a replacement certified math teacher to take Mr. Jackson's place beginning Tuesday. Jackson is also an assistant football coach at Monroe High School.

It's not every day that a major landmark goes up for sale on eBay, but Plainview's historic Granada Theater can be yours for the right price and the click of a mouse.
As of early Wednesday morning the top bid was $15,100
The current owner is identified by the Plainview Daily Herald as Cal Collins of McAllen. Living so far away got in the way of Collins' big ideas for the theater when he bought it for $20,000.
On eBay, Collins lists the taxable value as just more than $49,000 and, yes, it's a fixer-upper. There are problems with the roof, and there is asbestos in some floor tile that either has be removed or covered over with carpet.
The eBay listing says, "There was a broken window above the marquee and pigeons were living in there. The window was replaced/repaired but you will need to clean up pigeon poop."
The Granada was built in the late 1920's and underwent a major remodeling in the late 70's. It closed down in 1997.

Most people with Parkinson's disease go through a period of denial of the diagnosis or of the real severity of the disease. While friends and family may point out that there is something wrong and that you need to see a doctor you may just shrug off their worries and even accuse them of being busybodies.
The cardiologist Thomas Graboys in his recent book "Life in the Balance: A physicians memoir of life, love and loss with Parkinson's Disease and Dementia" (by Thomas Graboys with Peter Zheutlin; Union Square Press, NY; 2008), chronicles the period of his denial quite vividly. He tells of very close friends telephoning his wife and expressing concerns about his health. He tells of colleagues of his, who witnessing his failing powers felt the obligation to raise the issue of PD with him in order to protect both his reputation and his patients. For their pains they received an angry rebuke from him. He tells the poignant story of running into a Chairman of the Department of Neurology at a famous Boston Hospital who said to him (after witnessing his gait and posture etc) "Tom, who is taking care of your Parkinson's for you?" Graboys had up to that moment told himself that his increasing clumsiness and other problems were due to other reasons and that all the symptoms would just go away one day. Once the Chair of the Neurology department so casually assumed that Graboys had PD after witnessing the signs and symptoms so directly, Graboys could no longer stay in denial.
When we are in denial we put off and delay confronting the problem head on. Precious time is wasted. Until the problem is dealt with 'head-on' it cannot be treated optimally.

BREAKING NEWS: Police wind-up fracking operation
Police said they are winding up their operation overseeing anti-fracking protests in West Sussex as the final cost to taxpayers is expected to hit around £4 million.
Energy company Cuadrilla has been spending the week clearing the site at Balcombe after completing its exploratory oil drilling earlier this month.
Although no hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, has been taking place, the village has been thrust to the forefront of anti-fracking protests over the past two months.

I came up with a list of questions to ask the guys over at Big Blue View to help me accurately predict their draft day. I thought they might be helpful to everyone else, so I've listed them below (you'll obviously have to tailor them to your respective team). If you have any others that you're asking to your respective adopted team share those here so we can have the most accurate draft on the net.
1. What three players would you most like to see the G-Men draft in the first round? Which player do you like most, and why?
2. Who, in your opinion, is the organization most likely to draft in the first round? What factors make this more likely than the others?
3. What is the long shot scenario that might have a chance to play out on draft day as far as the Giants are concerned?
4. What is the worst case scenario for the Giants in this year's draft?
5. What position(s) are of most urgent need in your offense? Your defense? Which one is greater?
6. Are the Giants more likely to go for the best player available or fill a need at a specific position?
7. What other, if any, required reading would you recommend for me before I write my story?

After racing out to a two goal lead, the Burlington hockey team could not hold on to the lead, ultimately falling 5-2 against St. Mary's of Lynn on Saturday afternoon.
The game got out to a good start when Dan McMahon scored just 2:03 into the game on the power-play. He backhanded the puck over the St. Mary's goalies shoulder after circling around from the back of the net. Captain Chris Irwin and sophomore RJ Caruso picked up assists on the goal. The goal would standup and Burlington took a 1-0 into the first intermission.
Burlington got on the board first in the second period when Brian Hood scored. Burlington put a lot of traffic in front of the net and the puck squirted out to Hood who shot the puck past the goalie for the 2-0 lead. Adam Crowley picked up an assist on the goal. Burlington looked to be in good shape at this point in the game, showing they were the more physical team and were really taking it to St. Mary's.
That all changed at the 9:00 mark when St. Mary's rattled off three goals in under two minutes of play. Nikko Markham scored first on the power play followed by goals from Julian Yourawski and Rob Colameta.
St. Mary's took the 3-2 lead into the final period. Both teams really ratcheted up the physical play in the third period. St. Mary's was able to respond to the Burlington's hitting when Derek Stella scored at 4:18 of the third period. They put the game out of reach when Tim Aylward scored at the 10:12 mark, giving them a commanding 5-2 lead that would hold as the games final score.
Don Hesse stopped 16 shots to get the win for St. Mary's while Derek DeCastro stopped 24 in a losing effort.
The game marked the last time nine seniors; Justin Bonita, Kyle Crowley, P.J. Vigneau, Chris Theriault, Chris Rolli, Mike Grinnell as well as the three captains Shane Matthews, Chris Irwin and Joey Centrella would play hockey for the Burlington Red Devils.
All of them put together very good senior seasons. Crowley tied for the team lead with 12 goals. Rolli brought an impact winger to Burlington in his one season on the team after transferring from Stoneham. Matthews was a big body and played good stay at home physical defense. Centrella was another key piece of the team tallying 20 points on the season. The senior that will be missed most will be Irwin, who tied for the team lead in goals with 12 and lead the team with 24 points.
Most teams that graduated nine players would be in rough shape the next season but that will not be the case with this team. Returning to the team will be juniors Stephen Mattos, Brett Romkey, Brian Hood, Dan McMahon and Trevor Cimino who were major contributors on this year's team. The departure of the seniors will also make room for other juniors Brendan Slowe, Joe Moran, Cody Crocker and Nick DeSimone to get more time on the ice.
They will also bring back a tremendous sophomore class headed by goalie Derek DeCastro and the team's leader in assists defensemen RJ Caruso. Another sophomore Joe Berardi was starting as the team's center towards the end of the season and defensemen Brien Diffley finished the year with 11 assists. Throw in freshmen Adam Crowley who finished the year with eight points, and the toughness and physicality rarely associated with a first year player and the future is still looking bright for the Red Devils.
