The Orange County Sheriff's Department needs your help identifying two suspects of a residential breaking and entering that occurred late Monday morning.
A home near the intersection of Ivey Road and Old Greensboro Highway in Southwest Orange County was broken into at around 11:00 a.m. Monday. Two black males of medium height and build wearing zip-up hooded sweatshirts were caught on camera and were possibly seen fleeing in a white vehicle.
If anyone has information regarding the incident or can identify the men in the photos, call Sergeant Tim Horne at 919-245-2900 or Crime Stoppers at 919-942-7515. You can also email Sgt. Horne at firstname.lastname@example.com://chapelboro.com/news/crime/oc-sheriff-seeks-two-suspects-monday/
The second and final day of the 2014 ICV wrapped up Tuesday for nearly 100 Orange County residents, including WCHL's Aaron Keck, who is making his second-consecutive trip with the Chapel Hill-Carrboro Chamber of Commerce.
This year's ICV has taken the group to Athens, Georgia, with a stop in Greenville, South Carolina on the way. Athens is a college town much like Chapel Hill-Carrboro with the campus of the University of Georgia abutting the City.
Aaron joined Ran Northam on the WCHL Tuesday Evening News to tell the latest about the trip.

Police agencies from Orange, Durham, and Wake counties continue their search for two men considered armed and dangerous after they fled from a reported home invasion in Orange County early Friday morning.
The Orange County Sheriff's department released a statement Friday morning that said deputies responded to a home in the eastern part of the county at 4820 Pleasant Green Road near U.S. Highway 70. Two black males reportedly invaded the home holding firearms and demanding money from the occupants. One of the home's occupants was forced into the residence from the front yard, according to the release. It also states that one person was later forced back out of the home and kicked repeatedly, but no shots were fired and no one else was injured.
When deputies arrived, they reportedly found the men fleeing in a gold-colored vehicle. The vehicle was stopped by officers and the driver and passenger both put their arms out the window, but when officers tried to approach, the driver sped off.
After a 20-mile chase, they ended at a shopping center on Carrington Mills Road in Morrisville. They left the vehicle and ran into a wooded area near the shopping center. Orange County deputies, Durham and Morrisville police officers, and State Troopers–with help from a K-9 unit–all assisted in the unsuccessful attempt to locate the suspects.
Evidence was recovered at the scene where the car was discarded and is being processed while the investigation is ongoing, according to the Orange County Sheriff.
Anyone with information is encouraged to call the Orange County Sheriff's Department at 919-644-3050, or you may email Sergeant Clark at email@example.com://chapelboro.com/news/crime/oc-home-invasion-leads-20-mile-chase-wanted-suspects/
Chatham County residents should double check your vehicle registration renewal before sticking the check in the mail.
Some residents have received tax bills citing the incorrect county rate. Orange County's property tax rate is 87.8 cents; Durham County's is 79.31 cents. However, Chatham County's rate is much lower at 62.19 cents.
Not only are you overpaying if the bill is incorrect, but the funds are going to the incorrect county.
If you received a bill from the Division of Motor Vehicles that is incorrect, you can call the DMV at 919-814-1779.http://chapelboro.com/news/local-government/chatham-residents-check-dmv-bills/

Almost all the new rolling recycling carts are in use in the municipal sections of Orange County, and rural households should be following closely.
"The commissioners did authorize the purchase of 7,000 carts for the rural area," says Blair Pollock, a Solid Waste Planner with Orange County Solid Waste Management. "
He says there are roughly 13,700 households on the recycling route in the rural part of the county.
However, he says the big gap between the two numbers may not be a bad thing.
"A: we know that not a lot of people recycle at the curb," Pollock says. "We know that a lot of people will bring their recyclables to convenience centers. And B: not everyone's going to want a cart. If you have a long driveway, maybe you'd rather keep your bins. In the rural area, there's a lot more impediments to everyone using a cart."
He says, in order to find out how many carts are needed, a survey is being conducted in the next several weeks to ask who wants to opt in to the program.
Once the numbers are tallied, the carts will be ordered and delivered.
"We'll get the carts ordered by November, and we'll be able to distribute them next January and start collection around February," Pollock says.
Pollock says that is a carefully-calculated but soft timeframe but that there are always problems that could arise.
"Can you says, 'ice storm'," Pollock says.
Let's hope not.http://chapelboro.com/news/news-around-time/blue-recycling-carts-heading-rural-oc-soon/

Two local, repeat-offending drug dealers were recently taken off the streets after separate incidents of selling cocaine near schools.
Carrboro Police arrested 42-year-old Mack James Matthew Cameron Monday after discovering an outstanding warrant during a routine traffic stop. He was charged with being in possession of a controlled substance within 1000 feet of a school.
Cameron was first charged in North Carolina with possession of a schedule II substance when he was 23 and was put on probation. However, probation was revoked because he was caught in possession of a schedule II substance again just more than seven months after his first offense on record. For that, he served nearly eight months in jail in Orange County.
Cameron has gone on to serve an additional five years, seven months for multiple drug possession and trafficking arrests.
U.S. Marshals arrested 40-year-old Bobby Lee Davis on Friday in the town of Graham. Chapel Hill police charged him with multiple felonies, including three counts of selling cocaine, three counts of possession of cocaine, and two counts of selling the drug within 1000 feet of a school. Police allege Davis dealt drugs in the Homestead Park area.http://chapelboro.com/news/crime/two-drug-dealers-apprehended-outstanding-warrants/
North Carolina ranks 34th in the nation for overall child well-being, according to the 2014 KIDS COUNT Data Book. However, Orange County may be just a little bit ahead of the state all together signs of better times approaching.
"Orange County historically has done a little better on a lot of the indicators than [the rest of] the state, partly because we have a lot more programs than some of the low-wealth counties," says Nancy Coston, the director of Orange County Department of Social Services. "We also are lucky that we live in a community that is very committed to our families."
The KIDS COUNT Data Book is a product of the Annie E. Casey Foundation that examines 16 measures of child well-being in four categories: economic well-being, education, health, family and community.
North Carolina was one of the worst ranked states for economic well-being at 38 and performed only slightly better for family and community at 36.
The Tar Heel State was ranked at 32 in the health category and received its highest marks for education at 28.
In terms of what needs improvement, Coston says that poverty's impact on children is something that will always have a lasting affect.
"That's one of the things that has been really hard to help families with," Coston stated, "Especially since around 2008, when the recession affected so many. A lot of our families have not been able to rebound from that. One of the problems is, with lower income families, the economic situation can affect them—it's much harsher than it is for other families in terms of the impact. And the children feel that—they know that they live in a situation where they cannot have the things that other children have."
A positive aspect to come of these poverty statistics is that the Orange County government is listening, according to Coston.
"Orange County Commissioners recently have started wanting to have additional conversations about our families living in poverty, and we've also seen that in some of the towns where they're trying to address the housing and other needs of low income families. We know that children need to feel secure in their housing; they need to have no food insecurities, which we know that many of our families experience. So finding ways to make sure that all of that can be mitigated is one of the most important things that we can do here in our community."
With all of this in mind, is Orange County currently on the rise or the decline?
Coston says she believes that, in terms of economics, the former is happening.
"We are starting to see the availability of jobs picking up, so hopefully, that impact will affect some of our low-income families," Coston stated.
"We've been focusing a lot on employment of the parents, making sure their skills are marketable so that those families can get back in the work force because that is an important step for them and for their children, because we do know that children with working parents tend to do better than children without families who are working. So as the economy improves, hopefully some of that will impact."
Coston also says there's another positive trend happening in the form of health indicators that have improved recently in the state with Orange County as one of the leaders.
"I think it will be interesting to see, in the towns and the county, what approaches we can come up with that emphasize ways to help our children who are living in less-than-perfect situations," Coston stated.http://chapelboro.com/news/health/oc-ahead-state-overall-child-well/

The State Senate voted to override the Governor's veto of the Concealed Carry bill late Thursday morning putting it a step away from becoming law. The Republican-controlled Senate voted 23-10 in favor of the override. That's one more vote than required to overturn Doyle's veto.
Five of the six Senate Democrats who originally voted in favor of the bill allowing adults to carry concealed weapons stood firm. The Democrats voting today to overturn the veto include: Roger Breske of Eland, Russell Decker of Weston, Julie Lassa of Stevens Point, Jeff Plale of South Milwaukee and Robert Wirch of Kenosha. Democratic Senator Mark Meyer of La Crosse was the only member of that group to vote in favor of upholding the governor's veto.
The question now goes to the Assembly, where it will take 66 votes to override the veto. The bill passed that house 64-35. The legislation would allow people who pass a background check and get weapons training to obtain a permit to carry concealed weapons.

Review of chapter "Epilogue – Two Months Later" from
A lot of fun and very enjoyable. Loved the misunderstandings early in the story and the leaps to (correct) conclusions later in the story. And plan H was hilarious and unexpected.
I do hope you write another sequel to this (I am reading the scenes).
If not, thank you for an enjoyable story (which I stayed up _way_ too late reading :-) and good luck with the rest of your creative endeavors.
Tom A.
Comments from author:
Thanks for reading and reviewing! (Recommendations are good too. :D )
I planted half a dozen possible sequel hooks (some more blatant than others) in the story and its 'sequel' but my muse is just not interested right now. I won't say I'll never write a sequel. I said that when I finished "The League of Extraodinary Women" (which also has BtVS and SG-1 crossovers in it) and I ended up writing two sequels. So far. My muse is not a kind or gentle muse.

Review of chapter "Epilogue – Two Months Later" from
Characterizations were excellent. Xander/Anise-Freya was hilarious. Writing was very good as well. It's quite long for a fic in which very little happens though. Feels like a great opening for a longer crossover, which you've hinted at in this last chapter. I hope you do it! Given where in the timeline of each verse you started, the plots are very open ended. That can be good and bad, but I think you could do it justice.
Comments from author:

Right now, my muse isn't interested in one of the many sequel hooks I planted. But you could try and motivate her by giving me a recommendation... :-)

Review of chapter "Sam and the Revelation" from
I've read this story a couple times, but not since I started reviewing, and this needs to be pointed out. The bigger, broader unique strength here was how you played up young Jennifer Hailey. She's a ripe character for the treatment ('Potential' uses her very very well in the best Buffy-Angel-Stargate overlapping I've ever seen), but you don't break the fic by raising her to prominence. But what a treat to watch the different reaction as an alternative to the classic science-as-religion denial the hardcore scientists always need to have in these fics. That's over a lot of the chapters.
THIS chapter is cool for the way you smoothly provide a way. for Harmony to remain cool without shattering the cornerstone of Whedonverse vampires that Spike already cracked. Because any decent explanation for Spike's souled/souless ability to ultimately be good/evil would still leave us with no room for Harmony, and she's fun. The uncertainty of the answer itself is a strong point, making a clever and plausible explanation workable while still admitting she really shakes the shades of gray up to an uncomfortable degree. Very very slick.
Comments from author:
Thanks. I try to be as ingenious as I can about patching up the holes in the walls of my favorite universes, but Harmony is really not a Whedonverse vampire. She made for some of the best comedy in both series after she became a vampire, but that sort of broke the rules. (Okay, Spike's attraction to Buffy really broke the rules too, but Spike broke a lot of rules.)
Harmony was generally a better person as a vampire than she was as a human. That makes for real comedy, but it's a plothole.
You might also be interested in the way I handled her in my 'The Big Bang Theory' crossover.

That summation by Major Jenni and the wrong conclusions everyone (except maybe herself) is an absolutely amazing report on the actions that took place and how people (in real life too) can take a huge amount of evidence and come to a completely wrong conclusion.

Excellent story, hope you make a sequel some day.
Already reading "League..." and sadly i´ve run out of recommendations, didn´t even know that could happen until recently when it did.
I´ve been reading waay too much last few months...
Comments from author:
Thanks! There is a not-sequel-not-prequel as well. I left over half a dozen sequel hooks in the two stories, but right now my muse Agatha is not interested. Instead, I'm writing Alex Mack (on this site) and Ayla Goodkind (Whateley Universe).
BTW, if you want to throw me some more motivation, I wouldn't mind a recommendation. And if you like Sam Carter (and some Jack and a little Xander), there's also "League of Extraordinary Women".

Review of chapter "Epilogue – Two Months Later" from
Buffy-verse meets SG-1. Amazing. Really well done. The whole thing starts out in a bar, of all places. Xander stepping in to protect the bystanders from what he believes is a demon. Meanwhile, at the SG base, there's an all out emergency because a Tok'ra has gone walkabout.
Misunderstandings, secrets, open phone lines, cross-purposes... This one is really good. And yes, the story does come to a satisfying conclusion while leaving several openings for more stories, just like a really good movie or TV show. Yes, please, write more.
As for me, now I need coffee, 'cause I just stayed up all night to finish reading it.
(And a not about the rating: 9 is really good from me. To get a 10 it would need to be damn near Hugo quality.)
Comments from author:
I'm glad you enjoyed it! And thanks for the Rec. I figure if you liked it enough to add a recommendation, then that '9' is pretty good.
I wrote a not-a-sequel too, but my muse has yet to seize on one of the half dozen plot hooks I left and demand I write up one of them.

Review of chapter "Epilogue – Two Months Later" from
This was a very entertaining tale. There wasn't much in the way of action but despite that I couldn't stop reading until I finished this story. This was a plausible look at one way the SGC and Scoobies could have come together. I really liked the interactions between Xander and Anise-Freya. Thanks for sharing.
Comments from author:
Thanks for reading. As I developed the concept, I just didn't see a way to make it turn into an action-adventure, so it stayed mainly as character studies. Sam Carter just stayed too rational and incharacter to start a war with the Scoobies, and nothing wanted to charge in through the stargate. :-)
If you really enjoyed the story, I would appreciate a recommendation, or at least your considering reading some more of my work.

Review of chapter "Epilogue – Two Months Later" from
I don't know what to say. Stargate x-overs are actually something i'm used to ignore. I don't know why but because of you that definitely gonna change(although i'm not sure if others gonna be good as yours), and you didn't even have a definite plot. just an event that happens(which is already something that recruited a lot from you(what you wrote was genius)), or maybe that the reason of your success. Anyway it was a while since i read such good story(others stories i read also good but your was positively refreshing then any other i currently read). So thanks for that. I'm going to take a look at your others stories(as well as what sequel you wrote to it), so see you next time.
Comments from author:
Thanks for the kind review. I wouldn't mind a Recommendation either! :-)
There are a LOT of Stargate crossovers, both here and at fanfiction.net (and at sites I don't read). Sturgeon's Law applies, as it does to everything. But two that I like are "Bridges" by Tassos and "Life's Ending, Life's Beginning" by becuzitswrong (which are - unsurprisingly - the number 3 and number 1 stories on this site).

Review of chapter "Xander and the Problem" from
I've been spending some time reading various fics on this site, and I often think to myself "bah! this is really badly written." or "Arg! That's stupid! X should/shouldn't have happened" or even "How can this author write on that topic when (s)he so obviously has no idea what (s)he talking about!"
And that's not when I'm searching through the depths of this site for obscure fics either, but when I'm reading stories from the Top Fics category, or Crossing Over Award winners. And this site definitely didn't seem mediocre to me when I discovered it, so the probelm is probably with my assesment.
But then I noticed that this happens even more often when I read BuffyXStargate Crossovers, and I realized why I reacted this way : you spoiled me. Without even realizing it, I hold every story up to the same standards as yours, and whenever I spot something which isn't as tightly built, well explained, deeply researched, faithful to the original work or as fluidly narrated as your regular work (and especially this specific story), I feel the story I am reading is sorely deficient.
Whenever there's a "Scoobies meet the SGC" story, I not only *demand* it to match every single expectation I had for that sort of event, I also want it to address satisfactorily all the detials you pointed out and that I had never noticed before reading Xander and yet ANOTHER demon. Which is completely unreasonable, but it *is* an irrational response.
So after going over almost all the top fics from the main Top Fics sections and also a coupe dozens from the Crossing Over Awards ... it turns out that there are *very* few writers that can stand up to those exacting standards. From those I actually started tracking, there's Chilord, dreamfall, EleriMcCleod, jAkL, litmouse, MMcGregor, ShayneT, Tanstaafl and theICEBear. With you, that's 10 writers.
And most of them haven't posted anywthing in years T_T
Anyway, I'm going to have to make an effort to remember that different authors write differently, and just because they don't have all your qualities don't mean that they can't write very good stories!
And thanks for writing such excellent stories and *keeping* on writing them ; I'm not sure what I'd do without my regular doses of Alex Mack, Xendra and TRTC. Thanks a lot.
As a side note, while the comparison with your work underlinging the faults of the other authors stories spoils my enjoyment a bit, it is also educational. It lets me see more precisely what makes your stories so great and how to write well. (although knowing what makes a good story and making a story that'll be known as good are very different things indeed)
PS: phouka is one of the authors who's in the "different from DC* and writes excellent stories nonetheless" category. I really didn't find DireSquirrel funny, I'm still trying to slog through the Deadpool/HP crossover hoping it'll get better. I rarely find the humor in this story entertaining, I don't see any relation between his Harry and the original one (so it reads less like a rewriting and more like an original character), and I don't find his characterization of Deadpool to be any good. So I've laughed more reading a single XAYAD chapter than a dozen of DireSquirrel's HP/Deadpool crossover.
Also, thanks a lot for recommending Stingers by Tanstaafl, I probably wouldn't have found it otherwise and that would have been a terrible shame.

Comments from author:
Wow. I am stunned by a review this amazing. Thanks. Oh, and I think you have excellent taste in authorship, since I've rec'd most of the other authors on your list. Might I also recommend phouka (and her brother phoukabro) and some of the cheery work of DireSquirrel (seriously, who would have expected a Deadpool/HP crossover to work)?

Review of chapter "Epilogue – Two Months Later" from
Hilarious and smart at the same time, and I find myself liking pretty much every single character, even ones that I've never had any connection to before, and that is no small thing.
Another indicator of how good this is? I actually stared picturing some of the scenes, as if I was watching it on tv. I'd watch the hell out of a crossover like this! Too bad all the legal people won't let it happen.
Thank you very much for writing, and I'm off catch up with more of your stories. :)
Comments from author:
Thanks for the glowing review. (And thanks for the rec!) I don't really write a lot of character bashing: even the characters I didn't like when I saw them (like Anise) can usually be redeemed in one way or another. (Or the villains can be made more complex or smarter.)

Immunizations remain vital in back to school preparation
By Monroe Roark
Getting ready for the new school year does not only mean gathering supplies for the classroom and clothes to wear.
Georgia law requires students to have thorough immunization and health certifications at various times in their academic lives, specifically before entering kindergarten and sixth grade. All students who are entering the Henry County School System for the first time at any grade level must meet immunization requirements.
A student, regardless of grade level, who has never been in a Georgia public school must provide certification of eye, ear and dental examinations on the Georgia Department of Human Resources Form 3300. Any child admitted to school without a certificate must present one within 120 calendar days. Forms may be obtained and completed at the local public health departments or physician offices.
Georgia law requires children attending kindergarten through 12th grade to be age-appropriately immunized with all the required vaccines at the time of first entry in school. A new entrant is a child entering a school in Georgia for the first time or entering after having been absent from a Georgia school for more than 12 months or one school year. All students, regardless of grade and including foreign exchange students, must have the Georgia Department of Human Resources Form 3231 immunization certificate marked "Complete for School."
There are certain situations in which an exemption can be obtained. Parents requesting a temporary waiver based on medical reasons may be asked to provide the school district with a certificate from the local board of health or treating physician certifying that immunization is undesirable. In the case of a medical exemption, the 3231 certificate must be reviewed annually and reissued.
For religious exemptions, parents must furnish a signed and notarized statement showing that their religious beliefs conflict with immunization requirements. That statement functions in lieu of the 3231 and does not expire.
In some cases involving new students, a waiver of 90 days can be issued by the superintendent or designee if there is documentation on file that an immunization sequence has been started and will be completed within the waiver period.
Immunizations are required for diphtheria, pertussis, tetanus, hepatitis B, polio, measles, mumps, rubella, and varicella (chicken pox). Protection against each of these diseases must be addressed on the form 3231. The form can be computer generated and if the child attends more than one school, an original or a photocopy of the form must be submitted to the second school.
All currently enrolled children entering sixth grade must have two doses of measles vaccine, two doses of mumps vaccine, one dose of rubella vaccine, or laboratory proof of immunity against each of these three diseases. Also required are two doses of varicella (chicken pox) vaccine or documentation of disease or laboratory proof of immunity. Previously, only one dose of this vaccine was required.
The Henry County School System does not provide any specific services for students and families unable to afford a doctor's visit, but officials are aware that those situations can and do exist. They work with the Henry County Health Department to verify any families who visit their offices and require financial assistance with medical needs so the Health Department can possibly lower those costs.
Most private schools in Henry County follow the same procedures as the public school district with regard to immunization requirements. Check with your private school to be sure of the exact requirements.

On Sunday, Carolina defeated the Caps in overtime 4-3. Carolina played some of their stars. Washington did not. For about 48 minutes, Carolina looked pretty lethargic. Even bad. Somehow, they pulled it together down the stretch, and the end result, even though it doesn't count, was a win.
First off, my new seat offers a good view, but it's way further up than I'm accustomed to. Yes, I'm spoiled. I spent the last season in the third row, sitting close enough to smell the players' breath. The previous two, a spent sitting close enough to at least see their eyes. I'm still in the lower bowl, and I can't complain about that, but I will no longer be able to provide decent photography. And I will no longer be able to harangue the visiting goaltender with any chance of him hearing me.
The Hurricanes dressed nine regulars. Five forwards (Cole, Staal, Stillman, Viva and Letowski), three defensemen (Commodore, Seidenberg and Gleason) and Johnny Crackers. The Caps did not dress any of their top line (Ovechkin, Semin, Nylander). Still, their "b team" looked ready to play.
Seeing the sweaters in action, I liked them quite a bit. The form-fitting business will take some getting used to, but overall I think they look sharp. I tried one on in the souvenir shop, and I like the feel. A lot. Unfortunately, I'm not in a position to be able to plop down the $190 it would take to get one with a player name/number plus the commemorative patch. When the time comes, I'll get a "road" white one. Probably a WHITNEY 13. Part of me wants to just wait for next season's third sweater (black with the "storm warning" logo on the chest).
The boys took a while to get things going, but when the Caps put their reserve backup in, the Canes had a better time. Johnson was good, as he always is against the Canes. With the Canes down by two, they scored two quick goals to knot it up midway through the third.
My notes were crap, but the Canes scoring was thus:
In the waning seconds of a power play, Noah Babin became the first native Floridian to score an NHL goal. It came at 7:46 of the third with helpers from Staal and Stillman. The "official scoresheet" lists this as an even strength goal, but it was most certainly a power play.
Just 49 seconds later, Erik Cole made a textbook Erik Cole maneuver to tie it at the 8:35 mark. Again, the Canes were on a power play, after the Caps were whistled for delay of game (clearing the puck over the glass). Cole took a pass from Staal, broke in on net, sweeping through the low slot. As he moved from left to right across the goal mouth, he pulled it to his backhand at the very last second and easily beat Michal Neuvirth.
Michael Leighton, who once fought Cam Ward as part of an epic bench clearing brawl in an AHL game, was quite good between the pipes. He made a couple of dazzling saves down the stretch including a sprawling save that was kind of reminiscent of Ward's save on Raffi Torres with about six minutes to play in game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final in 2006. Obviously, the stakes weren't as high, but it was a nifty save.
However, at 17:57 of the third, Ben Clymer tipped one passed Leighton to give the Caps a late lead. On the play, I felt like Brandon Sutter could have cleared either the puck or the player out of the goal mouth area, but he just watched as the goal was scored.
As I was sharply criticizing Peter Laviolette for not pulling the keeper for a sixth attacker, the Canes mounted some late pressure deep in the Caps zone. I continued to implore the coach to pull Leighton, but it all became immaterial when my boy Viva scored a very easy goal at 19:00. Neuvirth had practically taken himself out of the play by falling down, and Ryan Bayda had the puck at the bottom of the right circle. He patiently held the puck, then dished it to Williams on the left side. As Neuvirth was down and out, overcommitted to the right side, all Viva had to do was tap it into the yawning net. Like the last game of the 06-07 season, the game would go to overtime.
Like the last game of the 06-07 season, the Canes would be the benefactor of two quick penalties, which gave the Canes a rare overtime five-on-three. In overtime, both teams play with four skaters, and penalties are served as normal. With a second penalty against the same team, though, the non-offending team gets to bring an extra skater on the ice rather than going to a four-on-two situation. The Canes dawdled a bit, but they eventually took care of business. Erik Cole got the game winner at 4:12 of the extra frame. Eric Staal fired a shot from the right circle that Cole deflected in from the goal-mouth area.
Carolina will travel to Nashville for a Friday exhibition. Between now and then, they will play some Red-White scrimmages on Tuesday and Wednesday. There is an outside chance that I'll head out there on Tuesday. On Friday, there will be a different group of players on the ice from what we saw today.
Quick notes:
*Staal looked a bit "off" at first, but came on strong in the third, putting up three assists.
*Erik Cole looked pretty sharp. His first goal was a thing of beauty, and the second was just a right place, right time kind of thing, but he still looked good. I liked the way he responded after he boarded a Caps player. The player went down awkwardly, and Cole immediately turned all of his attention to the health of the player. Fortunately, the player was uninjured, but Cole (who, of course, knows a little something about being boarded)showed class and sportsmanship.
*Brandon Sutter was a non-factor. So much of a non-factor that the official "event summary" lists him as "14 Chad LaRose".
*Wade Brookbank made a couple of sound defensive plays
*Patrick Dwyer is throwing me off. He won't make the opening night roster, so it won't be a big deal, but he's wearing the #39 sweater, and I kept wanting to shout out "C'mon, Dougie!"
*Johnny Crackers wasn't all that good. The first goal was cheap, and I thought (contrary to what Luke says) that he looked bad trying to handle the puck. It makes me nervous as all get-out to see him play the puck as much as he does, and to see him come as far out of the crease as he does, and to try the homerun pass as frequently as he does. There were no Conklin-esque catastrophic mistakes, but I just don't think he's a smooth puckhandler and it makes me nervous.
Most importantly, today felt great. It felt great to go through all my game-night rituals. It felt great to see my hockey friends who I haven't seen in five months. It felt great to be in the building. It felt great to see the new sweaters. It felt good to feel the crisp air. It felt good to see the boys win. It feels good to know that the "real" games are just around the corner.

Gundry Named New Superintendent of Santa Clara County Office of Education
PUSD Deputy Superintendent Brian McDonald to Serve as Interim Superintendent
Pasadena Unified School District (PUSD) Superintendent Jon R. Gundry today announced his resignation as PUSD Superintendent following his selection July 16 as Superintendent of the Santa Clara County Office of Education (SCCOE). Gundry previously announced June 24 that he was the sole finalist for the SCCOE position. Gundry's resignation is effective July 31.
"It has been my privilege to serve the students and families of Pasadena Unified," said Gundry.
With an emphasis on 21st century learning, Gundry led the implementation of the district's Strategic Plan and Common Core State Standards. Under his leadership, the district entered into a partnership with the city of Pasadena as part of the School, City and Community Work Plan and won a multi-million dollar federal grant to create magnet schools in the district's historically underserved neighborhoods.
"Jon is a fine educator whose expertise as an educational leader has had a positive impact on our students, teachers and schools and the Board wishes him well in his future endeavors," said Board of Education President Scott Phelps.
On June 26, the PUSD Board of Education voted unanimously to appoint Deputy Superintendent Brian McDonald, Ed.D. as Interim Superintendent until further notice in anticipation of Gundry's resignation.
"I am confident that PUSD is in good hands with Dr. McDonald at the helm and that he will continue to pursue the goal of 21st century teaching and learning in classrooms across the district," concluded Gundry.
Dr. McDonald will begin serving as PUSD Interim Superintendent August 1. For more information on Dr. McDonald's appointment, visit https://local.nixle.com/alert/5223486/.

Mystery Strain
Jim Jarmusch Follows Bill Murrays Latest Inexplicable Middle-Aged Malaise
Broken Flowers
|Jim Jarmusch
|Bill Murray, Jeffrey Wright, Sharon Stone, Frances Conroy, Jessica Lange, Tilda Swinton, Julie Delpy
With Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai, Jim Jarmusch at last embraced soulfulness and blatant traditional narrative without rendering traditional narrative in quotes. Unfortunately, Dog now looks like a one-off career aberrationJarmuschs follow-up feature, Broken Flowers, is a disappointing return to his usual brand of hep-cat ambivalence. As the no-wave New Yorker has done so often before, he makes a road story by linking a thumbnail collection of American second-act skits, this time spearheaded by Bill Murray pimping his Lost in Translation midlife hangdog anti-charm. While not Jarmusch most self-immersed, audience-excluding effortthat would be Night on EarthBroken Flowers is at best mildly diverting in the way a glimpse of a possibly interesting TV show might be while youre on the nod.
Which is actually how Jarmusch introduces graying womanizer Don Johnston (Murray): watching The Private Life of Don Juan on TV after being dumped by his latest fling, Sherry (Julie Delpy). Dons a fiftysomething guy who made a mint on computers and is now, for reasons never addressed, in a permanent bad mood. With the Don Juan telecast, an endlessly repeating joke about a certain ex-Miami Vice stars name, and the deadpan atmosphericsall in the first few minutesJarmusch is already working overtime to establish an ironic distance from his own protagonist. Why? Must have sounded like a good idea at the time.
After Don receives a letter from a mysterious ex claiming a son he sired is looking for him, his Ethiopian next-door neighbor/aspiring detective writer Winston (Jeffrey Wright) becomes obsessed with helping Don look up his ex so as to locate the lost son. Don greets Winstons imprecations with vague disinterest, escalating to distantly annoyed apathy when Winston locates four of Dons five biggest-deal exesone is dead, oh welland assembles an itinerary, complete with plane tickets and car rentals. MapQuest printouts in hand, Don sets out on revisiting his lothario past as Jarmusch neutralizes almost all sentiment or explanation while inflicting a ruthless formalism on the remainder of his movie.
The visit to each ex is introduced by a long shot of Dons flight taking off, and a closeup of his CD player pumping out an Afrobeat tune. Medium shots frame the chosen ex as she gives Don a quick update on her life, and Jarmusch allows Murray approximately three emotional centimeters in which to react.
First in line is white-trashy Laura (Sharon Stone), who has a nubile nymphomaniacal teen daughter (Alexis Dziena) namedwait for itLolita. Laura and Don appear to like each other, so they fuck, and then Don leaves. Theirs is the movies most complex relationship.
A visit to a gated community yields hippie-turned-real-estate agent Dora (Frances Conroy, whose casting suggests a reclamation of the deadpan comedy style co-opted by Six Feet Under). Also briefly visited are trial lawyer-turned-animal communicator Carmen (Jessica Lange) and, finally, perhaps crucially, Tilda Swintons gothy biker Pennywho might have something to do with Dons discovery of whats bothering him, but Jarmusch isnt one to commit.
Whats the emotional through-line that attracted Don to this impressive distaff array? What is it about Don that is so irresistible to women? Why is Don so glum? No answers here: Jarmusch also doesnt do what and/or why, which does allow him the lazy luxury of not filling in anything about his characters.
Meanwhile, a numbed, exhausting rigidity, which could be read as an echo of whatevers bugging Don for reasons that are clearly none of our business, infects the whole movie. Even Jarmuschs shout-out to his in-crowd base feels obligatory: Don reaches a fork in the road extending to two streetsProng and Danzig. With all the cool equivocating, a refreshing blast of metal noise from either would have been welcomed, but Jarmusch prefers bracketing Broken Flowers with Holly Golightlys blasé retro lounge act.
And once you realize that Jarmusch is only offering a shallow gallery of types, its a letdown when the potentially interesting Zen sense of a higher agencyhowever randominforming Dons quest is raised and then forgotten, just another riff. As for Murrays already-overpraised turn as a walking coma, really, its much the same as the earlier, funnier Murray, with less of the funny. The actor almost pulls a big-ass rabbit out of the hat with Dons 11th-hour bout of recognizable human emotion, but the preceding hour-plus of arch-snarkiness creates a rickety armature for self-realization.
Ghost Dog and its aesthetic opposite, the brilliant existentialist western Dead Man, both showed that Jarmusch can go to fascinating extremes while indulging his usual interests. Murray, meanwhile, found the tragedy bone in his career-long smirk in Rushmore. Put them together, and we all hoped for the best. Broken Flowers shows both talents stuck in a holding pattern. For audiences looking for nothing more demanding than Translations empty boutique ennui, itll work just fine. But the combination of Murray and Jarmusch promises something far more potent than the cool vagaries and artistic dilution on display here.

- I am a new web developer. Rather experienced in WinForms app, RDBMS etc, but it was until recently that I joined the web world programming
- Currently feeling comfortable with HTML, CSS, JavaScript, jQuery, webforms.
I want to wait for VS2012 and MVC4 to be officially out, and then to start my learning regarding all the new stuff I have to learn.
Until then, I have some small projects that I need to develop and no time to take the learning curve of MVC.
I want to spend my time wisely until I start with MVC4. Also, I don't like the logic of webforms as it mixes all together, regardeless of the fact that is tempting you to develop fast.
What is a good approach for this?
I have thought of the following combos:
- Having Web Services in the backend providing JSON to front end HTML pages, with jQuery for the UI;
- ASP.NET web pages with jQuery. (With or without web services?)

Pintrest is popular because the world has ADD
March 24th, 2012 // 10:28 am @ Chuck // 4 Comments
I finally jumped on the Pintrest bandwagon this morning, and to my surprise I ACTUALLY like it! Despite the fact I'm not the site's primary targted audience group. So I thought to myself… why? I'm an average heterosexual men, why the hell would I like this girly crap? (BTW, did you click on this post because of the copy-writing OR the sexy Girl Generation picture? Point coming later….)
Evolution of browsing behavior
After carefully reexamine my own sexuality, I have come to this conclusion: I am NOT gay for liking Pintrest. I am however, ridden with a bad case of ADD. But come to think about it, so is everyone else in today's digital world. Don't think you got ADD? Well, let me ask you the following questions:
- When was the last time you read a book?… Completely
- When was the last time you read a magazine? Sorry guys, Sports Illustrated Swim Suite Edition does not count!
- When was the last time you read an online article? Skimming… sorta counts
- When was the last time you read someone's blog? Shit! Why the hell am I writing again?
- When was the last time you read someone's Tweet/FB Feed? … Probably within the last hour
- When was the last time you skipped thru FB and looked at only the drunk/hot girls photos? … Probably 5 seconds ago
And there you have it… if you're at least semi-digitally inclined you would notice that our information processing behavior have changed drastically with digital. Information are coming to us at lightning speeds, we can't process everything, so we choose to process only the things that stimulate us. Which in this case… pictures. The guys at Pintrest are absolutely brilliant for noticing our browsing behavior evolution, and gave us exactly what we needed: visual stimulation.
How normal straight men (myself) use Pintrest
Anyways, now that the deep stuff is out the way. Let's talk about some light-hearted stuff about how REAL men uses Pintrest!
First, and formost reason why I use Pintrest is… to look at pictures of pretty women, except I do it on the Chinese clone of Pintrest 拼图图. Why? um… because I'm an biological organism responding to my primal instincts to consistently seek out potential mates that can inherit my genetic specimen. One second thought, porn sites should really adapt Pintrest's look and feel. I'm sure the time on site, return visits and overall "engagement" would be much higher.
Second reason why I use Pintrest is… to do spying/research/testing. Now I work in a digital agency, that means whenever ANYTHING come out with a bang on the internet. I gotta at least register an account and try it out. This includes my numerous social media profiles across almost all channels in both the U.S. and China, which I use a syncing service like 微博通 to keep up to date.
The third and final reason why I use Pintrest is… to scout for cute gifts for my girlfriend. Owwww, so sweet… bleh. Now, women are interesting creatures. I'd say most women's buying behaviors are completely irrational and chaotic. They differ with men in that they buy base on "like" not on "need". Hence the loads of outfits/shoes that they only wear once a freaking year while I buy shoes only when my last pair starts have holes in them. One interesting psychology that I'd like to point out is the concept of social proof. Women are innately more socially aware and conscious than men, hence they place great importance on being "popular" and "liked". Now applying this concept on Pintrest, social re-pins means whatever the product portrayed is accepted by the masses, plop eCommerce on top that the product gets instant social proof. This is also the reason why many eCommerce sites in China are starting to follow the social eCommerce route adopting Pintrest's model.
Okay, rant over… let me go back to browsing 美女 on 拼图图.

Men go out to buy what we need, women go out to see what needs to be bought.
But men pay for it… so that means women hold majority of the purchasing power within the household

Top of the List: Fiscal cliffhanger, doggy driver ed and pot in Seattle
On December 6, these were the headlines people were talking about.
1) FISCAL CLIFFHANGER: The end-of-year deadline is looming. So far there has not been an agreement on tax hikes and spending cuts as the nation sits like a pawn in bi-partisan swagger-game. Both President Obama's and house majority leader John Boehner's proposals are on the table. They are still hammering away at a deal and each other. Alan Simpson offered his own fiscal exhortation.
"Think of the economy as the car and the rich man as the driver. If you don't give the driver all of the money, he will drive you over the cliff. It's just common sense," Simpson said.
2) CANNABIS CONUNDRUM: Dozens of happy Seattlites gathered under the Space Needle at midnight to ring in their new marijuana law. Recreational pot smoking is now legal in Washington State. The new law lets you possess an ounce, but growing and selling it still a crime. And it's against Federal law to smoke it.
3) DOGGY DRIVER ED: Animal trainers in New Zealand are teaching dogs to drive cars, instead of chase them. Three hand-eye coordinated canines have learned how to start their engines, and then drive them down a track. The idea is to show people all the great things rescue dogs are capable of doing.
4) EAU DE ANCHOVY: Some lucky Pizza Hut fans are about to get a really cool stocking stuffer. It's pizza perfume! The popular pizza-maker actually had a couple hundred bottles of the unisex stuff whipped up with "top notes of freshly baked pizza dough."
5) BIEBER MUTED: The Grammy nominations are out -- and so is Justin Bieber. The pop star was snubbed with zero nominations. Who did get nominated? Break out band "Fun" grabbed the Album of the Year nod. They were joined by six-time nominee Frank Ocean, Mumford and Sons, Black Keys and Jack White.
The Grammies will be February 10 in Los Angeles.

WASHINGTON - The federal government shutdown hasn't just closed the Smithsonian museums -- it also has closed the programs that are run there.
The Smithsonian Early Enrichment Center isn't open, but families have already paid tuition for the current week and now need childcare. It can cost anywhere between $315 and $383 a week for families employed by the Smithsonian to send a child to SEEC, according to information on the center's website.
"Looks like we'll have to pay for her to be watched during the day while my wife and I are at work, and pay these tuition payments for as long as we have to keep her in school," a father who has a kindergarten-aged daughter told WTOP.
He's worried too that if the shutdown lasts for a long time, his daughter will have to make up time in the classroom in order to advance to 1st grade.
A notice from SEEC to parents says if federal workers get retroactive pay when it's all over, they'll owe tuition retroactively too.

McNeese State has received a more than $4.3 million gift from the H.C. Drew Estate Endowment to support its new multipurpose facility.
It's the university's second largest single private gift.
University President Dr. Philip Williams said Thursday the Health and Human Performance Educational Complex will be located near the Jack V. Doland Athletic Field House and will house programs in health and wellness, kinesiology, health performance, athletic training and sports medicine. There also will be an arena for intercollegiate volleyball and basketball games and cultural events.
Since 1981, the endowment has funded academic scholarships at McNeese and now supports more than 250 this year. Drew, a businessman and state senator, died in 1916 and asked that half his estate help provide educational opportunities for people in the Lake Charles area.

MATTHEW CRAFT, AP Business Writer
NEW YORK — The Dow Jones industrial average surged 286 points, its best day this year.
The Dow jumped 2.4 percent to close Wednesday at 12,415. The gain turned the index positive for the year and erased a 275-point plunge set off by a dismal U.S. jobs report last Friday.
Hope that Europe would help ease the region's debt crisis helped launch the rally. A news report said European officials were moving quickly to find a way to rescue Spain's hobbled banks.
In other trading, the Standard & Poor's 500 index rose 30 points to 1,315. The Nasdaq composite index jumped 67 to 2,845.
Seven stocks rose for every one that fell on the New York Stock Exchange. Trading volume was slightly higher than average at 4.1 billion shares.

Analysts hail Burma's untapped IT goldmine
Forget China, Burma could be the next big growth market for IT investors as long as the country continues its political and social reforms, according to IDC. The analyst's latest report, Myanmar ICT Market 2012–2016 Forecast and Analysis, predicts 15 per cent year-on-year growth in IT spending this year, with the market reaching …
New dead souls assylum found, usual suspects agitated, news at 10
Right, military dictatorship, no unions, minimal daily wage roughly in line with the price of a McDonalds happy meal (in its cheaper days) and most importantly - no accountability and a whole raft of local "law enforcement" lined up ready for a wad of cash to look elsewhere.
I love the smell of "Dead Souls" early in the morning, it smells like... Profits...
Of course there is a lot of agitation in a particular part of the IT community the part of the "IT community" which is salivating at the sight of a new place where you can move an arbitrary amount of money from left pocket to the right pocket by having 10 Dead Souls for every "real" IT worker.
Someone should go to Gogol's grave and listen if the giggling and laughter can be audible above ground. It is quite entertaining how the seminal work of the father of Russian comedy and satire about the fraud and embezzlement in the 19th century Russian civil service still applies to "cost saving" operations in "technology intensive" industries.
Oh good...
somewhere else to outsource help desks to.
I sometimes wonder about the West's "commitment to democracy & freedom". Are we promoting democracy for its intrinsic value or so that we can cram consummerism down the throats of "free" countries.
Re: Sad
That depends.
If the country is a consumer of goods and natural resources we support democracy all right. That's profitable.
I cannot think of a single instance of where the "West" has supported democratic leanings in major suppliers of resources, goods and labor.
100+ years of Banana republics (thank you O' Henry for coining this marvelous term), 40 odd years of propping Saudi and their smaller Gulf bretheren, our "support" for democracy in China and now out of all Myanmar. Yep. We support democracy all right. Unless there is oil, trinkets or helpdesks involved.
Re: Sad
There does seem to be something distastefully unethical about making cost savings by outsourcing labour to countries where the sort of working conditions they endure were rightly outlawed in the West long ago.
Not to worry, Christine -
those working conditions that «were rightly outlawed in the West [whatever that is] long ago» are coming back, as trade unions are crushed and «venture capitalists» no longer are confined to deciding things behind the scene, but can push one of their own front and centre. But of course,as our house historian and ethical guide Phil points out in his inimitable style, it's all China's fault, as that country has «never [been] one to worry too much about human rights violations or international sanctions», unlike, say, the US in Chile, Nicauragra, Iran, etc, etc....

BROWNSVILLE - A Brownsville man is scrambling to move everything out of a home he lost.
Eddie Flores has lived in the house for five years. He said he spent $10,000 in repairs to the home and thought he was paying monthly rent to one day own the home. But he admits he fell behind on payments, lost a court decision, and a judge ordered his eviction.
Flores said all he's asking for is time to move out. His family's belongings were still inside the home two hours before the sheriff's department was scheduled to lockdown the property.
"I need time to move my stuff and they're not giving me any time," he told us. "I've been asking please and asking them a lot of times. And they don't want to answer."
So Flores contacted 5 On Your Side. CHANNEL 5 NEWS got the number to the man who owns the home. He agreed to give Flores one more day to clear his belongings.
"That's all I needed was for somebody to hear me," said Flores.
Flores said he's not sure where he, his wife and four daughters will go next.

O Brother Where Art Thou?
Now playing at the Galaxy 6 and Scotts Valley Cinemas, O Brother Where Art Thou? is the new film directed by Joel Coen and written by both Joel and Ethan, better known as the Coen brothers. Well, it's also, as the credits say, "based on The Odyssey by Homer." Using the notion of a kind of anti-heroic journey down a long road, and here we also see references to The Wizard of Oz, the story is about three white cons escaped from a chain gang travelling through Mississippi during the Depression in search of hidden treasure. George Clooney, whose name is Ulysses Everett McGill, plays that famous old Greek anti-hero himself, and his buddies are John Turturro as Pete (a staple of Coen brothers' films) and Del (Tim Blake Nelson). Their adventures take them to some strange places and produce some strange encounters, both of which are true to the spirit of the very first road movie ever, The Odyssey.
Early on in the story they receive a prophecy from a blind Black man "the poet"--who tells them that they will discover amazing things, but not what they expect. The rest of the encounters bear the traces of that ancient song as they have appeared in popular culture ever since, nicely imitating the spirit of The Odyssey as a story told and retold to different audiences with many variations. The movie is also musical; the cons at one point, after picking up a Black man named Tommy Johnson (Chris Thomas King), who sold his soul to Satan in exchange for receiving the gift of guitar playing--record a song for money in a remote radio station recording studio. They sing a beautiful version of "Man of Constant Sorrow," and dub themselves the Soggy Bottom Boys, becoming famous unbeknownst to them as they leave the station and continue on their journey. The whole film though treats us to breathtakingly beautiful music that mixes bluegrass, blues and gospel. Musically, this film is a grab bag of southern cultural history; visually too, in the sepia-colored references to the photography of Walker Evans and Dorothea Lange.
Other priceless scenes include a take-off on the encounter with the Sirens. Here Coen stops the action, imitating the mesmerizing via music that those gals were so famous for when Ulysses insisted on listening. The three guys also encounter a Cyclops (played by another Coen brothers' regular, John Goodman) who, instead of being outsmarted by our hero as in the original, rips off the good Christian boys with his opportunistic Bible-selling rhetoric. And, of course, there's Penny (short for Penelope, get it?), Ulysses's wife, played by Holly Hunter, who has six daughters and, as one of them points out, a "suitor," echoing The Odyssey's reference to the rivals who hang out at his house.
One of the more haunting aspects of this film is the way in which, as they travel, the three keep bumping into various Christian religious sects, cults, groups, and worshippers, including the Ku Klux Klan, who perform a terrifying and comic ritual reminiscent of that weird combination of horror and humor that Fargo evoked so well. And the Coen brothers treat these groups with seriousness even as they criticize them, pointing out just how much this countryís history is bound up with fundamentalist, evangelical, and charismatic traditions. They also, in their irreverent and indirect way, confront us over and over with the countryís legacy of both casual and lethal racism. This is a historically pertinent "if mythical film;" it is also beautiful, smart, funny, and entertaining. Looking for trouble at the movies, for KUSP and the film gang, this is Carla Freccero.

|Catholic Identity: Shall We Talk?
|By John W. Carlson
|Thursday, 20 May 2010
College and university administrators welcome this time: a week of pomp and celebration with graduating students and their families, culminating in commencement, followed by a period of relative calm in which they can reflect on the academic year and develop future plans. Very likely, in 2010 no administrator looks forward to this period of calm more than the Rev. Robert A. Wild, S.J., president of
Two weeks ago, Father Wild rescinded an offer made to Dr. Jodi O'Brien to become dean of
O'Brien is a self-described "out" lesbian with a long-term partner. The focus of her scholarly work is gay and lesbian sexuality and its interrelations with other social phenomena – in particular, religion and civil society. In a New York Times interview the day after rescinding the deanship offer, Father Wild emphasized that O'Brien's sexual orientation was not a major factor in his decision. Rather, he said, it had been discovered that her writings included "strongly negative statements concerning marriage and the family." Wild presumably was alluding, inter alia, to a 2004 article titled "Seeking Normal? Considering Same Sex Marriage." In the present writer's judgment, this article is well crafted but manifestly at odds with Church teaching on sexuality – as well as with the underlying philosophical realism that characterizes the Catholic intellectual tradition. It assumes throughout that institutions such as marriage and the family are "socially constructed," i.e., that they have no independent reality or significance. In this perspective, debate about "defining" these institutions reduces to competing discourses and political wills.
Unsurprisingly, the decision to rescind the offer set off a firestorm. The dean search process and outcome were condemned by
Readers of TCT may wonder how such an unedifying scenario could have been allowed to unfold. Academics familiar with the internal workings of most Catholic colleges and universities are more likely to marvel that this is the exception rather than the rule. For, while no topic is more spoken about at our institutions (including Jesuit institutions) than "Catholic identity," truly crunchy issues are rarely addressed. And while search committees are given copies of college and university mission statements, they almost never are instructed about their implications for the committees' work. In fairness, such instruction is difficult to articulate. Moreover, given the variety of circumstances that may arise during a search, no formula could substitute for the prudential judgment of the individuals involved. However, certain implications of Catholic identity surely can be proposed for discussion.
To do this, of course, is to invite a war on most campuses. But it is a war that is needed – and one far better to have in advance than in the midst of cleaning up messes after the fact. The debate might well go differently at different institutions, given varied perceptions among stakeholders, including local Catholic ordinaries.
Let me propose the following:
1) Quite apart from legal and public funding concerns, a Catholic institution simply should not make faculty hiring decisions based solely on sexual orientation (or any of the other enumerated categories). However, it can happen that, in the judgment of appropriate officials (in particular, the dean), a prospective faculty member would use his or her position to promote – in the classroom and/or in publications – ideas contrary to Catholic faith. In such a case, a refusal to hire would not constitute unjust discrimination.
2) Respect for academic freedom entails that, once hired, faculty members may pursue their scholarly activity as they see fit. This does not imply a right to promotion and tenure. By the same token, a probationary faculty member whose scholarship is proving to be unacceptable, on grounds of incompatibility with Catholic identity or any other grounds, deserves to be warned of this fact as early as possible by his or her dean and department chair.
3) Because of their overall leadership positions and their roles in faculty hiring and evaluation, deans typically shape academic cultures and students' educational experiences. Accordingly, dean candidates at Catholic institutions must realize that the content of their published ideas is proper matter for scrutiny. If these ideas are at odds with basic teachings of the Catholic magisterium, or with the Catholic intellectual tradition more generally, the institutions in question have not only a right, but a duty, to reject their candidacies. More appropriate individuals will present themselves.
Now shall we talk?

What is Green Cycling?
Simply put, green cycling is bike commuting or just plain ole riding your bike. And, it is a win-win on many different levels.
For businesses and individuals looking to reduce costs, embrace eco awareness, and live green, bike commuting benefits everyone. How so?
- Bike commuting helps the environment by reducing your carbon footprint.
- Bicycles emit no pollution when in use; they require far less materials, energy and waste in their production than even the 'greenest' car.
- Cycling offers a certain connection to the open air and the surrounding trees. It's amazing how usual surroundings look different when on a bike.
- Cycling can be done by toddlers, teenagers, youngsters and adults as well. It can be used as personal time to reflect upon your day or a means to unite friends for regular rides.
- Regular participation in a cycling routine naturally shifts your focus to include thoughts of the weather, areas in your community to ride, road safety, and traffic. Thereby increasing your awareness of the link between the environment and your community.
- National health statistics show that when you're more active, you decrease your risk for cancer, heart disease, obesity and diabetes.
- Bicycle commuting allows you to include your workout in your daily schedule and helps to meet fitness goals.
- Bike commuting saves you money: reduce car maintenance, reduced gas bill, reduced parking cost.
- Bicycles can be produced and maintained locally by local bike shops contributing to local job opportunities as part of a sustainable economy.
- Bike riding is FUN!
You don't ride a bike?
Even if you don't ride a bike, we all enjoy the benefits of bicycling infrastructure. Every cyclist on the road is one less car, which means there is less need for expensive road projects that take money from other important government programs. Bicycle and pedestrian improvements cost a fraction of what it takes to widen streets and highways and improve the livability of our cities, attracting new businesses and development.
Become a two wheeled friend. There are lots of ways to get involved. Green Riding Resources:
