It was standing room only yet again at Monday night's meeting of the board of education, of which I am a member, in our 2000-student upstate New York school district; nearly 200 people were jammed into the high school cafeteria when I arrived.? This was not good. As a member of the board, you always survey the crowd (which is normally a group of 15 to 20 die-hards and union reps, maybe a reporter or two, and a couple people with ?issues?) and, depending on who is there ? and how many -- you can usually tell how the meeting will go. A big crowd is usually a harbinger of some drama.? Monday night did not disappoint.??
There were several dozen teachers (wearing their black union t-shirts), several dozen students, several dozen parents, and assorted knots of district employees and ordinary citizens. Our security guard, who does not normally come to meetings, smiled at me from the back of the room.? I knew just about everyone and I knew they were not there for the Board of Cooperative Education Services report or for the Walking School Bus program PowerPoint.
In fact, because it's a small town, I knew that most of the people were there for an item that was not even on the Agenda: ?the board's decision the previous week not to allow the varsity baseball team to play its home games at a nifty new stadium, owned by the town, just down the road. ?For some reason, a majority of board members had gotten it in their heads that the team was being disrespectful by wanting to play in a modern facility, with lights, bathrooms, parking, bleachers, dugout, and ?no cost to the district? ? instead of the district's field, which was, pretty much just that, a field ? no lights, no bleachers, no dugout. Bathrooms were available if you walked around the outfield and across a soccer field and into the school. ?The board had voted 6 to 1 (I lost another one) to force the kids to play on our field. ?
It would take several posts to explain the majority's rationale here ? and why are we talking about this anyway? ? but anyone who has ever been to a little league game anywhere in America should know? that the last constituency in America that you want to alienate is that of sports parents.? A petition was generated, the phone- and email-trees activated. Sports parents are among the most connected in any town. And they were mad.? And they got other people mad. And lots of them?were now at a board meeting. They glared and stared (a potential violation of the new anti-bullying policy) and, at the Public Forum part of the meeting, they spoke. They spoke passionately, angrily, some articulately, some not.? There was clapping and cheers after each speech.? The stack of petitions ? 200 signatures ? was handed over. Exhilarated, I made a motion to rescind the decision from last week. I got a second; a good sign. But the board was unmoved, save the one member who seconded the motion and another who, inexplicably, abstained: ?4-2-1 to stick by its insanely unpopular decision.?
Without going into all the excruciating detail, all hell broke loose. ?Parents shouted taunts and insults from the back of the room, threw papers, and shouted some more, before storming out, issuing threats as they went.
Is all of this a reason for school boards or for no school boards??How will the problem be handled in the school of one? How about in the?consolidated, statewide district? ??If you'd asked me Monday night, after the three-hour meeting and the post-meeting phone calls, I would have said no way, Jose. ?Kill the boards.??As Mike said, quoting Obama, in a democracy we have to ?disagree without being disagreeable.?? Has the President ever been to a school board meeting?
Is it a system we should rely on to educate our kids??
After the baseball parents left, there were still about a 120 people in the room, most of whom were there to watch the board revote on another hot issue: moving high school graduation from Sunday afternoon to Friday evening.? I was saying my Hail Mary's on this one.? It was on the Agenda, a good sign. We had already had one meeting with a booing crowd as the board switched from pro-Friday back to Sunday because, as the Superintendent announced, ?the local synagogue had objected. Not surprisingly, that brought one teacher (tenured!)?to her feet to tell us "you dropped the ball on this one."? She proclaimed her longstanding tolerance for graduation on Sunday, ?even though that's my Sabbath.? (Mind you, small does not mean uninteresting; we once had a race riot and teacher strike in the same year. Diversity is not all it's cracked up to be.)? But this time, there was a better outcome.? I had convinced the parties to meet and, as luck would have it, there were no Jews in this year's graduating class.? Friday was okay ? this year! ?Another 80 people left the meeting ? but they were happy.?
We then slugged our way through field trip approvals, Special Ed placements, a professional development conference day report, and the budget ? the big news out of Albany that day was a tentative legislative agreement (slashing $1.2 billion in state aid to education), which will have an enormous effect (see here and here) on our state-aid dependent district.? (The Times had a brilliant editorial on Sunday, called ?Rich District, Poor District, We are a poor district.) ?One senior citizen rose to say he was on a fixed income and couldn't make the meetings because he had to work to pay the taxes.? A teacher rose to criticize me for my comment at the last meeting saying I would not vote for any budget that raised taxes more than zero.? Boo!?Meyer! It was late and I was tired and I returned fire ? a big violation of board etiquette -- delivering a rant about our failure to do proactive budgeting and making taxpayers pay for our wasteful ways. ???
Everyone did a lot soul-searching after the meeting.?The next day?there were more phone calls, from teachers and parents, wanting to review the drama from the previous night.??More meetings.? And by the end of Tuesday, we got word from the Superitendent that the baseball field question was going to be on?next Monday's Agenda.? Lordy, Lordy!
I am not convinced that yelling is the best way to get a good school.? But I must say: it does have some accountability value.? And?my faith in democracy grows stronger with each public debate about things that people care about.?
--Peter Meyer, Bernard Lee Schwartz Policy Fellow

This morning, I ran across something very interesting. My mom's main concern about living in Minnesota is the cold. So she told me to be open-minded and look elsewhere so we can all come to a conclusion on where to move. So, I took the initiative to Google the best cities in AMERICA to live. And long behold, out of a list of 100 cities, the great state of Minnesota holds 5 of the best cities to live in the top 20, and 4 in the top 15 alone! ( I stopped looking at the list after seeing the top 20 so there may be more in the whole 100 list). I showed my mother and hopefully Its sinking in her that Minnesota offers more than just the cold.
Ranks on Top 100 list of best Places to live in America. (Only top 20)
1. Eden Prairie (Best City in America Apparently)
11. Plymouth
13. Woodbury
15. Eagn
20. Apple Valley - Looks like I have more research to do.
*Edit << This was a ranking from 2010.
For 2012
Rochester, MN has made its way up to Number 5 in the country. Can't really find a top 100 list though yet for this year.

AAC Option Added to Eureka 147
Nov 3, 2006 - World DMB has released further details of its plans to create a choice of audio coding for digital audio broadcasting (DAB). The international organization, which promotes Eureka 147-based digital broadcasting, has submitted a draft technical specification called DAB Audio Broadcasting (DAB); Transport of AAC Audio to the international standard body ETSI. Following submission to ETSI, it is expected compatible receivers can be designed and broadcast services can be introduced as early as 2007.
A marketing task force has been set up to develop a consumer-friendly name for the effort. The result of this group's work will be announced early in 2007.
Eureka 147 currently uses MPEG Layer II to encode the audio in a stream. By adding ACC as a possible algorithm more stations can be broadcast on a multiplex, which will provide a more efficient use of the radio spectrum. It is expected that the change will also lower transmission costs for digital stations. New receivers with ACC will be backward compatible with the existing codec standard. Current MPEG Layer II services and consumers will be unaffected by the change.
The proposal being submitted to ETSI allows for the parallel use of both audio coding options and ensures that existing listeners and DAB digital radios will not be disrupted. Receivers that include the new codec will also decode all standard MPEG Audio Layer II audio services.

Valparaiso Mayor Jon Costas delivers 2014 State of the City Address
Despite the bitter cold, hundreds turned out to hear Valparaiso Mayor Jon Costas annual State of the City address given Tuesday afternoon during the Valpo Chamber's Annual Meeting at the Strongbow Inn.
Before Mayor Costas was introduced the crowd was treated to video clip of the popular TV program, "Communities of Distinction," hosted by football commentator and former Pittsburgh quarterback Terry Bradshaw. The segment featured a snapshot of Valparaiso with Mayor Costas and Valparaiso University president Mark Heckler featured among others.
Rex Richards chamber president warmly welcomed Mayor Costas and acknowledged that this was the tenth time Costas gave such an address.
Mayor Costas responded by saying that he felt privileged to be addressing the audience for the 10th year in a row. Costas says that he treasures his experience as mayor of Valparaiso and that it has been, "more gratifying than I ever dreamed."
Mayor Jon Costas gives his annual State of the City address at Strongbow Inn in Valparaiso, Tuesday afternoon
The mayor said that "vast progress" has been made in the past 10 years which would not have been possible without an extraordinary team giving credit to Sharon Swihart, the city's clerk treasurer of 31 years who Costas said, "has kept us on the straight and narrow road of fiscal responsibility during these years of lean revenue."
The mayor also gave kudos to the city council, "the finest I have ever witnessed," Costas said. He also said there is reason to, "expect big things ahead" thanks to his team including some 270 "dedicated" city employees.
Mayor Costas then first talked about the issue that is raised from almost every encounter he encounters--the roundabouts. So far, after nearly two months of operation of Valpo's, "mother of all roundabouts at Five points," the mayor said that the only vocal complaint he has heard is that, "there is not enough lights on the big spruce that lives there."
The mayor informed the audience that while he was working on his State of the City address Fire Chief David Nondorf told him about the tragic shooting that happened at Purdue University in Lafayette and while mentioning that both he and Chief David Nondorf youngest sons were students there they were relieved that their sons were okay and that their hearts go out to the family of the shooting victim.
Mayor Costas covered other topics including future growth by relocating the Chicago Dash customer terminal due to the unprecedented success of increased ridership since the lines' inception, building up roads, trails and infrastructure in the new year.
The mayor also discussed the city's future for the next generation of residents and those who will soon be calling Valparaiso home.

LA CROSSE, Wisconsin (WXOW)-- Opening arguments begin Wednesday in the trial of Jeffrey Lepsch.
The 40-year-old Lepsch is charged in the shooting deaths of 56-year-old Paul Petras and his 19-year-old son A.J. at the photo store they owned last September.
The jury was selected Tuesday. Eight women and seven men make up the jury panel that will hear arguments over the next nine days. The day began with more than 40 potential jurors and by the afternoon was whittled down to 15, 12 will deliberate and three are alternates.
Both attorneys spent the afternoon questioning the panel. The District Attorney, Tim Gruenke,
asked about the importance of motive and what jurors though reasonable doubt means
"Does anyone think that two inconsistent stories alone means there must be reasonable doubt?" Gruenke asked the potential jurors.
Joe Veenstra, an attorney not affiliated with the case, says honesty from jurors is crucial for the prosecution.
"Really the prosecution primarily wants to make sure you get a panel that includes jurors who are not saying anything false because if they're going to get a conviction, they want to get one that's going to stand up on appeal and not have problems with the process," Veenstra said.
Meanwhile defense attorney Vincent Rust, stressed the idea of innocent until proven guilty. He also asked if jurors thought someone could be a thief and not a killer
"If the evidence in this case shows that Jeff is a thief but not a murderer, is there anybody who has a problem with acquitting him?" Rust asked.
"The defense is looking for people who are open minded, who will really hold the state to the burden of proof, who, despite what has been heard in the media, will take seriously that presumption of innocence going in to the case," Veenstra said.
Opening arguments begin at 8:30 AM Wednesday. Lepsch faces a mandatory life sentence if convicted.

Ok, so perhaps predictably, people didn't have much to say about the O-line. So about some talk about a more glamorous position, the running backs? With White gone we have no proven productive backs, but here's what we do have
Kelvin York, Sr. showed flashes this past season but fought injuries. Seems to be the heir apparent.
Lucky Radly, Jr. hard worker who got a few touches but may not have what it takes to be a large contributor.
Jarrell Oliver, So. looks like he could be the guy but never asserted himself this season and also may have battled injuries.
James Poole, So. transfer who redshirted. Whit said he looked good in the fall but needed more time to learn the offense.
These are the only scholarship RBs on the roster. Now, look at the recruiting class and there are at least 2 freshman RBs (Marcus Williams and Drevian Young) with a couple other guys who could play RB. This makes sense as we didn't bring in a RB last class. However, what intrigues me is that we worked so hard to get a JC RB this class. We went after Cameron Artis-payne and when he committed elsewhere we got Devonte Booker to commit. This says that it wasn't just a matter of grabbing a good player, but that the coaches really wanted a JC RB. My question is why? You have a Sr coming back, and a Jr and two So's, all three of whom have redshirted in the program, so that is actually a fair amount of experience. That would suggest that the coaches are not confident in who we have, either due to injury concerns or that the guys they have just aren't up to snuff. My guess is maybe a little of both. Thoughts?

Our Story
The vision of establishing a classical Christian school in Richmond began in 1998 with several parents committed to providing a Christ-centered education with strong academics for their children.
A board of directors was established in 1999 and in the fall of 2000 Veritas Classical Christian School opened its doors to 25 students in Kindergarten through 5th grade at Crestwood Presbyterian Church in Richmond, Virginia. Stony Point Presbyterian Church was added as an Upper School campus in 2003 to accommodate growth in enrollment.
The property adjacent to Crestwood Presbyterian Church on Jahnke Road was purchased in 2009 to accommodate our growing student body and to bring all students together on one campus.
Exhausting all available space at Crestwood Presbyterian Church by the summer of 2013, Veritas School conducted an extensive search of appropriate campus locations. In God's providence, a permanent campus home became available and the school moved to the former campus of the Baptist Theological Seminary of Richmond. Within two stately and historic buildings are classrooms and common spaces dedicated to serving the academic and artistic development of each of our students. With the addition of several adjacent buildings bordering a traditional grass quad, this property will serve as the long-term home of Veritas School.
Veritas currently serves over 330 students in Grades K4-12. These students represent over 50 churches and come from as far as Montpelier, Hopewell, Glen Allen, Manakin-Sabot and Chester.

Justin Bieber Breaks His Silence Post-Egging Incident
He made headlines earlier this week after police raided his house in LA, and Justin Bieber finally broke his silence today (January 16).
Although he didn't make comments about egging his neighbors house, the "Boyfriend" hitmaker took to his Twitter account and decided to spend some time reflecting on his past.
"7 years. #alwayskidrauhl," Justin tweeted in reference to his mother Pattie Mallette posting a video of him at a singing contest on YouTube under username kidrauhl, which helped him get discovered by longtime manager Scooter Braun in 2007.
Also making his return to the social media site, Scooter wrote, "Been one hell of a week." and went on to add, "Life is ups and downs. Enjoy the ride and realize it was not the destination but the journey itself that was and is the adventure."
As previously reported by GossipCenter, police were called to Justin's home after he was accused of egging his neighbor's house, which reportedly resulted in $200,000 in damages. LAPD searched for egg-related evident in connection to the investigation but ended up arresting his friend Lil Za for felony drug possession.
Since he was released, Lil Za has already taken his thoughts to Twitter and stated, "The media is making me someone I'm not."

This week, the Treasury Department used authority delegated to it by the president, under Executive Order 13661, to sanction Russian gun maker Kalashnikov Concern (formerly Izhmash). In the United States, the manufacturer is best known for its popular Saiga rifles and shotguns. While ostensibly a measure to curb aggression by some in the Russian Federation, the move does bar from importation firearms that gun control supporters have long sought to ban. We of course recognize the important role that enacting sanctions can have in furthering legitimate U.S. foreign policy interests. However, in this instance the extent to which these actions coincide with the stated domestic policy goals of gun control supporters is more than a little unsettling. As such, NRA-ILA is monitoring this situation closely.
Sen. Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.), sponsor of the Brady Bill and the "assault weapon" and "large" magazine ban when he was in the House of Representatives, probably shouldn't be the go-to guy for historical arguments against the individual right to keep and bear arms.FULL STORY

Recently, we reported that U.S. Rep. Mike Thompson (D-Calif.), chair of the House Gun Violence Prevention Task Force, had introduced what he is calling "the Promoting Healthy Minds for Safer Communities Act of 2014."

I'm an outright Underworld fan ever since I bought Karl Hyde and Rick Smith's very cool concert DVD, "Everything; Everything" back in 1993, a companion piece to the CD. Since then, I have bought many imports, a box set, and subsequent releases after 1993.
"A Hundred Days Off" was the duo's last studio release in 2002. Now, four years later, Underworld is ready to unleash itself to the masses via an EP called "Riverrun Remixes," a six-track "single" remixed by the likes of Paul Woolford, Pete Heller, Buick Project, Pig and Dan, Robag, and Martinez.
I dug 4 out of the 6 tracks: the Paul Woolford Vocal, the Pete Heller Vocal, Pig and Dan's Mix 2, and Robag's Mix with Melody.
First up is Paul Woolford (aka Bobby Peru), a native of Liverpool and a House fiend who, while incorporating recognizable Underworld background beats and vocals, infuses his own electronic grind to "Jal To Tokyo," making it a great opening track.
Track two is the Pete Heller Vocal of "Peggy Sussed." It contains the classic Underworld sound which defined them back in the early 90s, harkening back to the DubNoBassWithMyHeadMan CD.
Track three is Buick Project's Mix #1 of "Play Pig." This was one of two tracks that didn't sit or stand well with me. Perhaps it was due to the track being a bit too happy, too non-brooding.
The forth track, Pig and Dan's Mix #2 of "Play Pig" begs the bass dial or knob to be turned up real loud. The vocals are dark and brooding and the track excels and accelerates followed by a brief cooling off period before the track kicks back up again only to wind back down with the finishing straight in sight.
The fifth track, "Peggy Sussed," as remixed by Robag Wruhme with Melody, is another bass lifter and dark vocal enlightener. Robag, who also goes by the alias, Gabor Schwablizki, is a German Electronica artist, who, while I'm not familiar with his work, won me over with this track.
Finally, the sixth track, and the second track out of the group that I didn't care for, "Vanilla Monkey," as remixed by Martinez, sounded more like a Pac-Man video game. I can't really see this playing all that well in a packed club but maybe in some after-hours club.
If you recall, Underworld is chock full of interesting lyrics along with a colorful array of dark and brooding House, Techno, and Trance synthesized beats and engaging melodies. At first I wasn't digging the blips and bleeps on some of the tracks but the more I listened to each of the tracks, I found the majority of them growing on me except for the two that I discussed. Rest assured there is an ample amount of that familiar Underworld danceable sound that so many of us fondly remember.
Give this sampler a few re-listens because they haven't come all this way just to put out something schlocky.

This is a really lovely Italian restaurant that serves beautifully cooked fresh food at reasonable prices. All food is quite obviously cooked to order, but the service is quick and efficient. The bite of the pasta is always perfect. Drinks are very reasonably priced, as is the food. Puddings are yummy! This is a lovely restaurant for families and the childrens menu is equally good quality. The whole place has a lovely relaxed friendly atmosphere, but in the evenings it becomes more romantic and subtle. I would thoroughly recommend it, but you should book as it can get very busy.
Had a really lovely evening here, staff was great. Food was lovely, will defo go again
In common with many others, I found there was an unacceptable wait for a table even when it wasn't busy, it then took ages to find anyone who'd take our order, the the gap between courses was huge, the value was poor and the food was nothing special. It even took an age to find anyone prepared to take our money when the whole sorry experience was over. A big "No" as far as I am concerned. The place and its menu needs sorting out - it has potential. Steve Riches, Northampton, UK.

A friendly, informal ambience prevails in this comfortable restaurant, where chef Tony Tobin takes a characteristically simplistic approach to modern British cuisine. Prime ingredients are creatively assembled but are often left to speak for themselves, accompanied by flavoursome reductions & infusions rather than creamy sauces. Two good examples are pan-roasted smoked salmon served alongside pea shoots, salad & fresh horseradish dressing, & skewered chicken & chorizo with Israeli couscous & sweet & sour mango chutney. The wine list carries a thoughtful range of global wines & an impressive by-the-glass selection.

text: On the undercard we have Daniel Sostre vs. Tito Bracero, and in the main event it's Edwin Rodriguez vs. Will Rosinsky. Bracero should win the undercard pretty handily I think, but the main event could be competitive. It pits two undefeated prospects, though Rodriguez has faced tougher competition and is favored. I can't promise Scott-level round by round, but I would love it if you joined me for some general chat during tonight's fights.

A day after the 21st lawsuit was filed against Pilot Flying J in conjunction with its manual rebate scheme that defrauded dozens of companies, a court in Arkansas agreed to consolidate the lawsuits and offer a class action settlement.
This doesn't necessarily mean every single lawsuit will be dropped, or that others can't be brought against the company in the future. But what the class action status does mean is that every single Pilot customer who was defrauded is entitled to the settlement -- a full rebate of the misappropriated funds, plus six percent interest -- whether or not they've filed a lawsuit or not.
What this also doesn't mean is that Pilot (or CEO Jimmy Haslam, or any of his other employees or former employees) are admitting any wrongdoing whatsoever. The settlement states, "Defendants have at all times disputed, and continue to dispute, Plaintiffs' allegations in the lawsuit and maintain that they have defenses to the claims asserted."
While the timing of the settlement may seem curious, as no indictments have yet been handed down (other than the former Pilot employees who have already pled guilty and are cooperating with authorities), it will have no effect on any criminal charges that may or may not be brought later this year (or early next year, depending on how long the grand jury takes). The prior guilty pleas assure that some people involved in the scheme will definitely be serving jail time, and chances are, they won't be the only ones.
Anyway, here's the Ingram Group's statement on the settlement, on behalf of Pilot:
NEWS RELEASEJuly 16, 2013ARKANSAS FEDERAL COURT AGREES TODAY TO CONSOLIDATE, OVERSEE CLASS ACTION CLAIMS AGAINST PILOT FLYING J IN DIESEL FUEL REBATE INQUIRYPILOT FLYING J CEO JIMMY HASLAM COMMENDS COMPANY AND CLASS ACTION LAWYERS FOR AGREEMENT, WHICH WILL EXPEDITE LEGAL PROCESS BY:• Auditing accounts of all customers who received a rebate and/or discount from Pilot Flying J from 2008 forward.• Paying all customers 100% of any monies owed, with 6% interest, as soon as discrepancies are verified.• Allowing for an independent accountant, approved by the court and paid for by Pilot Flying J, to validate Pilot Flying J's internal audit process.• Offering a right to dispute audit results.• Offering customers the opportunity to opt out, because they do not like the agreement or because they simply do not want to participate in the class action.• Pilot Flying J will pay all costs related to the process of the customer claims and the litigation, which includes audit costs (both internal and external), administrative costs and legal fees, saving customers significant time and money.BACKGROUNDOn April 22, 2013, one week after federal agents raided Pilot Flying J Headquarters in Knoxville, TN, CEO Jimmy Haslam announced five steps the company had initiated to deal with allegations that some members of the company's sales team had paid some customers less rebates than they were owed.The first of those steps was to direct Pilot Flying J's entire internal field audit team (25 plus employees) to report to Knoxville to review all of the company's rebate and discount diesel fuel accounts with nearly 5,000 customers and to write checks for any discrepancies found in the customers' favor.Last Friday, July 12, Haslam said in a letter to customers that the internal field audit team had completed its initial review of all manual rebate customers, who are a focus of the federal investigation, written checks to those manual rebate customers where potential discrepancies in the customer's favor were found, and begun its review of all other customer accounts.Today, Haslam acknowledged this somewhat unusual court agreement as an additional step to "doing the right thing" and making certain all customers, whose accounts may include a potential discrepancy, are made whole as soon as possible, with interest, with external verification, and without the customer incurring extraordinary legal or investigation expenses.The agreement is somewhat unusual in that it ensures that all of Pilot Flying J's customers with validated discrepancies in their accounts are paid 100% of what they are potentially owed, plus interest, within the next few months, rather than years later after a long, expensive and drawn out lawsuit.HASLAM'S STATEMENT"Today in the United States District Court, Western Division of the Eastern District of Arkansas, our attorneys, working together with attorneys for eight of the companies that have filed class action lawsuits against Pilot Flying J, agreed to a plan to pay all customers who join the class 100% of the money they are owed, plus 6% interest, as soon as possible and without the need for unnecessary time in court, plaintiff legal fees or out of pocket costs. I commend all of these individuals for their hard work and dedication to ensuring our customers are paid back quickly and fairly for any potential discrepancies found in their accounts."Customers who already received checks with interest based on our internal field audit team's ongoing review will receive supplemental checks for any additional interest not included in the original calculation. In addition, all of our customers, as defined by the court agreement, may join the class and have a free independent accountant, approved by the court, validate Pilot Flying J's internal audit process of the customer's account."In addition, Pilot Flying J will pay all court, administrative, accounting, mailing, processing and legal costs incurred as part of the procedure approved by the court today, ensuring our customers will get every dollar they are owed, with interest, without protracted legal battles, time delays or costly legal expenses."Under the court agreement, Pilot Flying J will distribute a statement to all of its customers and to the media as part of notice provision to ensure all of our customers have the opportunity to resolve any concerns they may have in this fashion. We also will make available to attorneys for the class a mailing of all of our customers."Customers who are satisfied with their accounts may continue with business as usual, and we assure them our utmost attention, 24-7, 365 days a year, serving them and their drivers. Customers who are concerned about their accounts may join the class by simply doing nothing. Their accounts will be audited free to the customer. Finally, customers have the right to opt out and pursue their own legal objectives at their own expense, which can be significant."This is an unfortunate time for our customers and our company, but we remain committed to making things 100% right with our customers, to put systems in place to help ensure this does not happen again, and to re-earn our customers trust."The full text of the court agreement is attached.
You can download the court filing and read the full text of the settlement below; WBIR also has a number of the other court documents on its website, should you be so interested.

Not enough dough!
A business in Berkshire is putting its plans to expand on hold because of the so-called "pasty tax" . Auntie Anne's sells freshly baked pretzels. The government may introduce VAT on hot takeaway food which could cost customers £900,000 a year.
Robert Burton the Managing Director says it will have a real impact on sales.

Ovarian Cancer Health Center
Learning About Medical Studies Just Got Easier
The web site has been in development for 18 months. A two-week testing period in November involved 60 volunteers from patient support groups who "pounded on the system for two weeks," says McRay. "They worked hard, they did a lot of searches, and we got very good comments which led to modifications and improvements in the system. Plus we've done other testing."
The system will be updated nightly, and study sites across the country will continually feed data into the site. Confidentiality is guaranteed, says McRay. "People don't have to register, which is very important. We will not track anything about them or give out names."
Calling the project very important, Adrian Dobs, MD, director of the Johns Hopkins Clinical Trials Unit, tells WebMD, "Patients are extremely interested in learning more about clinical trials and they have nowhere to go. There's very little centralization of information about these trials."
Only an estimated 5% of clinical trials have all the participants they need, says Dobs. "Yet there are patients who want to participate. This is a real opportunity for patients to find out what studies can help them. I'm hoping the NIH will be successful. It's a very ambitious job."
Theresa Gillespie, PhD, director of clinical research at Winship Cancer Institute at Emory University in Atlanta, tried the browsing mode first when she investigated the new web site -- and found it full of technical terms unfamiliar to most of her patients. "I looked up 'C' for cancer, which patients would do, and there are no listings for cancer. They've done it by the pathology; there are terms like carcinoma and neoplasms. For a patient, having your pathology report in front of you would really help."
For a less technical search, McRay says, Gillespie could have started on the home page. "Type in 'liver cancer,' for example, and you get 166 listings right there," she tells WebMD.
Medicine is a technical field, and her staff is working hard to make the language on the web site more comprehensible to a lay audience, McRay says. "So when [Gillespie] was saying you need your pathology report in front of you, in a sense she's right. Because when you look at some of the eligibility criteria when you're being considered for a trial, you need certain characteristics, a certain blood count. You do need your pathology report." Another suggestion: "People can take this information to their physicians."
Gillespie suggests that patients print the information right off the computer and take it to their doctors. Also, she says, if patients are searching for information on cancer, they should make sure they know the disease's origin. "I have patients calling me, and many times they'll tell me, 'My mom has liver cancer.' My first question is, 'Does she really have liver cancer or did it start somewhere else and spread to the liver?' The pathology report will tell whether it's carcinoma or adenocarcinoma, and will also give the organ of origin."

Hello again faith followers of the Hump Day mixery! What a week...I am glad that you all are here for the "Master of Ceremonies" Arnie, and your favorite DJ Dub Sleazy, to break down last week's matchup with the pitiful Brownies, as well as serve you our favorite dish from the kitchen next to Chachi! (Chef extraordinaire), the cheerleaders and international hotties that stole both of our hearts…Get ready for the hump b/c the breaks are gone…let's get to it shall we?
PixburghArn: Once again my heart was treated to a easy viewing game. I felt so relaxed that I fell asleep during the game. Well this weekend will be easy on the heart too. I get to scout our next opponent.
Webslasher81: Again I agree with ya Arnie 110%, seeing the Man-genius literally cry after the game knowing he sealed his fate with the future coaching in Brown town…brought a big smile to my face, that as well as my 3 cases of Yeungling my dad sent me as a late Crimbus gift.
How about those predictions from the Browns game?
PixburghArn: Well I said Ben would be hitting mid-ranged passes and have a couple of big plays to open the run up. I got the first part right, but they didn't run it once they softened them up. They didn't run out the clock either. They treated it like a preseason game and let the backups play balls outs. My predicted score was going to be 33-10 or 31-10. I entered it into the prediction poast but didn't get it in here. Oh well.
Webslasher81: D'oh! Once again Arnie I failed ya…I believe I predicted a 28-10 score, but that was way off, Rush-hard had a hell of game rumbling and stumbling the way he did across the goal line. Yeah, yeah B-Mac was my wildcard and he did decent, and he pulled his groin (groan)…oh well, we got the bye and our team needed it…we will be revving the engine towards whomever we vs. after the wild card showdown.
What are your predictions for this week?
PixburghArn: I guarantee we don't lose this week and we rest out starters.
Webslasher81: I guarantee the whole team is partying like rockstars…and SCORE! Lol.
How about those predicted standouts from the Browns game?
PixburghArn: I said Big Ben on offense. I said his stat line would read (256 yds. 3 TDs) and he was (280 yds. 2 TD) ARE took one from him. Can Ben get an assist? On defense I said Deebo with 2 FF, 2 sacks and 2 tackles for loss. Let's just say I missed.
Webslasher81: I said Rush-hard…um he kicked tail…(23 carries 142 yds. And 2 tds) (Side note I'm not really a stat guy I guess lol…Ringo throw me a bone!). and B-MAC on "D" (1 pick 2 sacks) yeah that didn't happen…WTF was I thinking…hmm…oh yeah, hangovers are an amazing thing!
How did those concerns you had pan out in this game?
PixburghArn: Well Josh Cribbs was taken care of by minimizing his opportunities and Colt McCoy, while making some plays with his feet and engineering a drive on our backups, didn't have much opportunity to hurt our defense. Also there weren't any mistakes for the Browns to capitalize on. Good game by the boys. Way to go into the playoffs focused.
Webslasher81: Yeah I said McCoy and Cribbs might throw some scares in there…well we bottled that up something sweeter than you…
Random Notes:
PixburghArn: I really don't know what to do with myself. No game this weekend. I think I want to go see the Spurs play the Pacers in Indy. Anyone want to go?
Webslasher81: (Raising his hand…) pick me Arn, pick me!!! Haha! I wish…I will be spending the weekend working on my sweet bo-staff skills…yeah there ya go, it rolls right off the tounge!
Cheerleaders/Hostesses of the week:
PixburghArn: I have decided I will choose my cheerleader hostess of the week by the teams I think will win this week. When you have a lovely bird like this one, you must tweet her well. Ah… tweet, tweet, tweet. Philly in the house.
PixburghArn: The Saints have such heavenly bodies. Am I seeing double?
PixburghArn: I was told Belinda could sing. I saw her picture and believed right away. I visited the Chiefs to meet here and ask, "Do you have a sound you can sing with my name in it? If not I can teach you one."
via cjonline.com
PixburghArn: Does anyone from Florida State play on the Colts? Because I have a couple of stand-ins for the Colts.
PixburghArn: On the international front. My hostess comes from Libya. Ii think you've had enough eye candy today. I am a fan of beautiful women no matter what they are wearing. Besides my friend here is very friendly.
Webslasher81: Now I'm not one to talk up a big game when it comes to hotties from both the international realm and cheerleading realm, but it looks like Arn has done his homework…I am always in awe of the beauties that you bestow my man…once again I have to pick my game up…this week's cheerleaders are coming from 4 areas, I like to hit off first with the AFC then switch off to the NFC…behold the beauty of the # 1 seeded and hated Patriots…Quinn Kingston.
Webslasher81: Now let me switch to the # 5 seeded Ravens…they have some lookers…here is one of my favorite of the bunch…Lindi.
Webslasher81: Why would I stop there…I am now going to switch over to the NFC, where the # 1 seeded Falcons have made a name for themselves in cheerleaders, HOTlanta I say yes! Say hello to…Krysta.
Webslasher81: Lastly but not least…I'm heading to eastern PA, the # 3 Eagles have some firecrackers to keep their fans entertained…here is the lovely, Karen!
Webslasher81: Now I am turning my attention to the international side of the house…in my latest globetrotting adventure I stopped off in Israel…meet my future ex-wife…and Israeli Defense Forces hottie…Gal!
via frgdr.com
Well that wraps up another BTCS males and females, I hope you have enjoyed the input and tune in next week when Arn and I break down the wildcard winners and losers, and our future foe at the Ketchup bottle…and as always… "Stay thirsty my friends!" –Redman

February 20, 2004
Albany - Have you ever wondered about those black rubber tubes you sometimes see stretched across the road? A lot of them have been popping up around Albany. They will help determine how much money the city will get for road improvements.
Does this sound familiar? It should if you've been in Albany lately, but it's not just here, you will see the black rubber tubes in. each and every county in the state.
The counters record how many tires roll through within a 48 hour period. There were so many around Albany, it has taken four workers to remove them.
You may have only driven over a few, but there were nearly 300 traffic counters. City Engineer Associate Walter House says, "Yeah, yeah, a lot of numbers."
The Georgia Department of Transportation sends the data to Congress to get federal grants for road improvements. House says, "It's definitely a benefit."
The Albany Engineering Department keeps the information for the public, so future business owners can study traffic volume before making a move. House adds, "They want to know where the traffic volume is to give them the most exposure."
The majority of the roads in Albany did show an increase in traffic volume from 2001 to 2002. Last year's data should be released in a month.
The reason you see more counters this time around, the D.O.T. now has four workers in each county instead of one. They are putting down the black tubes quicker and getting more accurate results.
The Department of Transportation has 24,000 traffic counts across the state. They only have 13 workers who place and pick up the counters.

ALBANY, N.Y. - A local family was on the Italian cruise ship that went down off the Tuscan coast will be returning home Monday night.
The death toll stemming from the submerged Italian cruise ship continues to rise. Officials confirming six people have died and 15 others remain missing, including a Minnesota couple. Among the more than 4,200 passengers and crew on board, and one family was from Duanesburg, NY.
Joan Fleser, her husband, Brain Aho and their daughter, Alana, say they boarded the Costa Concordia just hours before it struck a rocky reef off Italy's Tuscan coast and rolled onto its side. "There was this big lurch in the ship and I don't know if you ever saw the Titanic, but it was a scene like right out of the movie," Fleser says. "The waiters that had been carrying food, the trays went flying." The Duanesburg family says they were having dinner in the dining room around 9:30 p.m. Friday evening, when they heard a terrifying grinding noise and ran to the deck of the luxury cruise liner. "We got up to the deck and people were running and very, obviously distraught, looking for life jackets and we finally found some. My husband kind of dived into these bins and grabbed three life jackets." With only the clothes on their backs, Fleser and her family managed to make it onto a lifeboat. Once on land they used social media to let loved ones know they were okay. Stacey Thomas whose house sitting for them was relieved. However their ordeal wasn't over, Fleser says they lost their passports and wallets on board, leaving them with no money.
After a stressful couple of days, Fleser tells NEWS10 they've been in contact with the US embassy and cruise company and have secured a way home. "We are very lucky, its just really starting to hit us, the magnitude of the tragedy that we were involved in because when its all happening you're just in your bubble." Fleser says they've managed to get temporary passports and have booked a flight that will get them back to Albany by Monday night.
All three of them are now looking forward to ending this trip early and getting back home Monday night.
The comments from Costa Crociere chairman and CEO Pier Luigi Foschi ramped up the pressure on the captain, who already is under investigation by authorities for suspected manslaughter and as well as allegations he abandoned ship before the passengers were safe, violating the Italian navigation code.
The rescue operation was called off mid-afternoon Monday after the Costa Concordia shifted a few inches in rough seas. The fear is that if the ship shifts significantly, some 500,000 gallons of fuel may begin to leak into the pristine waters around the island of Giglio.

EYEWITNESS LOCAL NEWSMentally Challenged Patient Dies During Struggle With Police
from Eyewitness News Online
Reported: Jan. 14, 2014 3:23 PM EST
Updated: Jan. 14, 2014 3:46 PM EST
HUNTINGTON, W.Va (Tiersa Davis)-- The Huntington Police have placed an officer on administrative leave while an investigation begins into the death of a mentally challenged patient.
Police said they were called to St. Mary's Medical Center about 6 p.m. Saturday to find a mentally challenged patient who had left against medical advice. Police were able to locate Annie Earle, 66, of Huntington at an auto parts store where she was taken back to the hospital.
Hospital staff were told that a mental hygiene order had been denied for Earle, and they could not provide any more treatment. Police said they were going to take Earle home when she became aggressive, striking at the officer and knocking down hospital equipment. The police officer tried to place handcuffs on the woman when she was placed on her stomach. Police said she became unresponsive and was pronounced dead a short time later.
The officer was placed on administrative leave. The Huntington Police Department and the FBI are jointly investigating the incident. The case will be presented to the Cabell County Prosecutor's Office and the Department of Justice for further review.

U.S. Supreme Court Declines To Consider Haugen Case
Written by Pat Boyle on January 22, 2014
It's the legal end of the road for Oregon Death Row inmate Gary Haugen who wants to be executed. The US Supreme Court has decided not to hear his case.
Haugen was set to die in 2011. But two weeks before the execution, Governor John Kitzhaber issued a reprieve. Haugen sued the governor and a judge sided with Haugen. But that ruling was overturned by the Oregon Supreme Court. Haugen then turned to the U.S. Supreme Court which has now declined to get involved.
Kitzhaber has said no more executions will take place while he is governor. He is currently running for re election. When he was governor in 1996 and 1997, two inmates were put to death. When he issued Haugen's reprieve, Kitzhaber said "I simply cannot participate once again in something that I believe to be morally wrong. It is time for this state to consider a different approach."
Haugen was serving a life sentence for killing an ex girlfriend's mother. He was moved to Death Row after being convicted of killing a fellow inmate in 2003.

Ok so last wednesday night I was having a really rough day and I was talking to myself in the mirror like I usually do to work through things. I find it helps me communicate with my self.
After my melt down in the mirror I was looking at myself and my face looked to be aging till I saw my face as an old women. It happend so quickly... my instant reaction was fear... my heart was racing. I decided to try it again after gathering up enough courage and it happend again...this time I was man with a mustache. I kept trying it and saw these two faces over and over along with a couple others. both male and female faces.
I was wondering if anyone else has had a similar experiance? if so please share.
I'm wanting to know what I was seeing and what the meaning is behind it.

Yeah that IS funny ROFLMAO.
Its good to laugh and see the funny in what we do too because really. Laughing is good energy. Its like jogging on the inside. And what we do will one day be common.
In some reiki experiments I found that laughing increases good healing energy by about 300% in one single laugh.
We are going to deal with our stuff either way. When we laugh its just so much lighter and easier.
We have a group called Third eye, one of our "exercises" is to put a candle next to someone in a dark room and look with our spiritual eye. We see many past lives come forward. Once I saw a man and his head fell off, I didn't say anything but the young man sitting next to me shouted "Oh Dude you have no head".
It is interesting and we learn from each other.
Good one Bruce.
I suppose when yu notice your 'current moment" its a good indication that you can stop now.
I have done this before, just my face was not human. First when I looked I was myself. The next day i saw a dragon. The next day I saw a wolf with wize gazing bronze eyes that seemed to dig into my own. an the last day I resembled something that looked It from the five children and It. After that i never saw those faces again. Except sometimes I see myself with those kind bronze eyes. Some nights I dream of riding on a dragon. (as well as thinking I have reincarnated from one) some nights I dream I am running with wolves across a wide empty plane. And other nights I dream I'm sitting on a large beach talking to It.
I found it all very strange, and now consider all of these creatures my friends and allies.
I tried this the other night. What I felt and saw was the past of my present life, area,s where it needed a smile, a healing lift, a loving embrace, some youthful exuberance.
Other than that I noticed I needed a shave, :)
Blessings, Bruce
Gosh you guys made me miss some of my best moments in the bush here in Africa.
When I find an old dry tree root I take it to the camping spot and build my whole camp-fire around it. At the end of the meal we would lay flat on our backs with something propped under our heads and we would lie and soft gaze into the huge coal that was once a root, exposed when all the ashes fell away.
It appears like a large fiery planet with flickers of flame leaping over the survace every once in a while.
The best meditation time.

The Fastrack, Inc. computer system is protected by a firewall constructed by the preternaturally gifted Samantha Argus. It still takes my breath away each time I break down the inner workings of its code, as it's staggering in its elegance and adaptability. She updates it weekly, leaving Chelonia and I able to focus on managing the system without worrying about threats from outside. I guess I should be glad that she's not planning a career in programming, but in scientific research! (Her father Donald tells me she's working in genetics, so I can only imagine what she'll come up with when she applies her genius to that field.)
An impenetrable firewall, however, doesn't mean the information stored in our servers is totally protected. That's due to one thing beyond our control: our fellow humans. One disgruntled employee can turn even the best safeguards into a Maginot Line. Wendy, Chelonia and I keep telling this to Ms. Trellis, but she can't wrap her head around the concept of ruling through something besides intimidation. Thus, the threat persists.
Dethany tried to get though to her by leaving a single shoe in her office. When Ms. Trellis asked what it was, Dethany said it was The Other Shoe That's Going To Drop. Ms. Trellis didn't get it.

Today's weather forecast: Dreamy
One's a billionaire investor; the other's a meth kingpin. Are Warren Buffett and Walter White really so different? Maybe not.
At last week's New York premiere party for the show's final season, billionaire Buffett came out of the closet as a Breaking Bad superfan. The 82-year-old CEO of Berkshire Hathaway told BuzzFeed, "I'm a huge fan!" at the event's after-party. "Not only is the story compelling — it's a really an interesting story — but the acting is superb... This is my number one show, by far."
Though the chemistry teacher-turned-drug-peddler played by Bryan Cranston has made (and lost) a pretty penny, it would likely be small change to Buffett, who's reportedly worth more than $50 billion. That's a sum large enough to make anyone, not just Walter White, become a ruthless drug lord, which come to think of it, isn't all that different from the cutthroat world of legitimate business.
