Mayor Haddix says PTC is already 'understaffed'
Budget projection 'model' by staff starts off with 38% tax rate hike, no cuts in staff or service
With a projected shortfall of $757,128 in the upcoming 2010-2011 fiscal year — and a projected $621,674 shortfall...
in the current year's budget — the Peachtree City Council is facing
tough decisions at its retreat at City Hall Friday and Saturday.
Mayor Don Haddix foresees a small tax increase and a draw-down of some of the city's reserve cash but downplays significant staff layoffs or extensive use of furloughs.
City staff is projecting a 0.269 mill property tax hike for the fiscal year starting in October, equivalent to a $26.90 property tax increase for a home with a fair market value of $250,000.
Finance Director Paul Salvatore said those models calculate the city's service levels remaining the same as they are today, though staff has been preparing figures on how furloughs might help save the city money despite how tricky they would be to implement from a service delivery standpoint.
The outlook for property owners gets worse farther in the future, as Peachtree City's financial staff projects property tax increases to help balance the city's budget for the next four years with no cuts in personnel or services — overall, a 38 percent jump in the city's tax millage rate.
It's in the following years that staff is projecting significant millage rate increases: 0.6 mill for FY 2012, 1 mill for FY 2013 and 0.250 mill for FY 2014.
The total projected tax increase over four years would be 2.119 mills. The current city millage rate is 5.533. It would top out in FY 2014 at 7.652, according to staff documents posted online at the city's website in preparation for the retreat.
The combined effect of those rates would result in a property tax increase of $211 for a home valued at $250,000 over that four-year period, according to the city's financial modeling.
It also could be that council decides to adopt service cuts that could shrink or eliminate a .269 mill property tax hike in October, Salvatore said.
Yearly increases in the millage rate would be 5.2 percent next year (beginning Oct. 1, 2010), 11.1 percent in FY 2012, 16.7 percent in FY 2013, and 3.6 percent in FY 2014, the city projections state.
These figures are model projections only from city staff, not recommendations, and are intended to provide a starting point in discussions among council members, Salvatore said.
They will have their first public discussions on the matter this Friday and Saturday although the first draft of a recommended budget from city staff won't be coming forward until June.
City staff wants council input on the 2011 budget in terms of the millage rate, use of the city's reserve fund to balance the budget if any, any changes to employee benefits and any potential salary increase. The projected budget includes no salary increases for the coming 2011 fiscal year.
Staff projects an increase in the city budget from the projected revised figure for this year of $26.541 million to a new top of $29.881 million in FY 2014.
Mayor Haddix said he couldn't speak for the rest of council but said he would prefer to have a quarter mill tax increase and use some of the city's reserve fund to meet a projected $757,000 shortfall in the upcoming 2010-2011 fiscal year.
Haddix said he doesn't anticipate any "significant" staff cuts because that would equate to service cuts which would diminish the city's appeal to companies which might be willing to move here.
"That will kill us trying to get employers here," Haddix said, adding: "We're understaffed now."
"I don't know where we possibly could reduce any significant number of people. I have no idea where they would come from without shutting down some associated services completely," Haddix said.
Likewise, Haddix said while the use of furlough days can't be completely dismissed the thought is "not appetizing" because it would boil down to a cut in services.
But should a two-mill increase be necessary at some point, Haddix said he would rather cut services first than enact such a tax hike. Haddix hopes to lower the city's millage rate in the future.
Council must also address newly-anticipated shortfalls in the current year's budget. First on the agenda is plugging the gaps in this year's city budget and figuring out how to balance next fiscal year's budget.
"Considering all over/under amounts for revenue projections, staff currently projects a net revenue shortfall of $621,674" for this fiscal year, according to city staff documents prepared for the retreat. That's for a new projected FY 2010 budget of $26.5 million.
Even with the expected shortfall, city staff projects the city will end FY 2010 Sept. 30 with a 32 percent cash reserve, a percentage many local governments would envy.
The city's reserve fund should ideally be at 20 percent of the annual uses of funds for the city, Finance Director Salvatore has said previously.
To address the shortage in this year's budget, the "city manager has instructed all directors and chiefs to identify 2.5 percent of their divisions' budget for possible cuts," the city staff documents say.
Those cuts will be discussed at the end of the retreat Saturday; the discussion is tentatively set to end with a discussion from 2:15 to 2:30 p.m. on budget guidance for the current fiscal year and also the 2011 fiscal year.
The worst shortfall this year for city revenues comes from recreation program fees, which are down by $200,000 from expectations, the city documents show. The city has also taken hits in electric franchise tax ($139,000); interest earnings ($148,513); city court fines ($128,500) and building permits ($113,052).
Haddix said the city can use remaining revenues from the 2004 transportation SPLOST to help with budget shortfalls, but a new SPLOST will be needed in the future to avoid property tax increases, he said. The city used between $1.8 and $2 million a year to pay for road and cart path repair and improvements and without that SPLOST such work will come from the general fund, Haddix said.
The city's review of the remaining SPLOST dollars shows that with the $19 million east Fayetteville bypass cancelled, there will be enough to do all of the city's SPLOST projects as well as those in all other jurisdictions in the county, Haddix said.
Haddix said the city needs to increase its funding for the city's development authority, currently budgeted at $35,000 a year. The authority, which has been working largely on redevelopment and business-related issues involving the village centers, needs a full-time staffer to advance the authority's goals, Haddix said.
While the county has a separate development authority to pursue corporations and businesses, the city is responsible for filling its commercial and office spaces, Haddix said.
Other areas to be discussed at the retreat:
• The most recent monthly average home sales price in Peachtree City was $327,625 for single-family homes and $210,000 for townhomes and condominiums, according to a city study.
The average monthly price has yo-yo'ed over the past 18 months, the study shows, with the low point of $250,000 having been reached in December 2008 and January 2009.
• On the retail side of the equation, Peachtree City's vacancy rate so far in 2010 is 11 percent of available retail space, down from 13 percent for 2009 and up from a rate of 7 percent in 2008, the city study shows.
Out of 1.91 million square feet of available retail space inside Peachtree City, 218,054 square feet are vacant, the study shows.
The two oldest village shopping centers are suffering the most from the economic downturn, the study shows. Hardest hit is Glenloch Village with a 48 percent vacancy rate. Next is Aberdeen Village with a vacancy rate of 22 percent.
• In the city's industrial park, nearly 47 percent of the available space is empty, according to the city study. The city has more than 1.4 million square feet of industrial buildings, with 678,281 square feet empty.
The bulk of that empty space is represented by the two tracts formerly occupied by the now defunct PhotoCircuits company, once one of the county's largest private employers. The empty PhotoCircuits buildings are 318,000 square feet of the total, the city study shows.
The city still has 473.23 acres of empty industrially zoned land available, same as last year, the study shows.
• The city staff is urging the City Council to "revisit what defines village center and neighborhood center and incorporate 'new vision' into [Peachtree City's] comprehensive plan."
In a document called "Re-imaging the Village," Interim Community development Director David Rast suggests doing away with the distinctive village signs and re-branding each village with more contemporary logos.

Can someone explain why, we are down $128,500. in court revenue so far this fiscal year?
PD has new cruisers, newly redone police station, all the staff you have asked for and an accreditation that included the mayor and assorted PD employees who were along for the trip to the ski resort (something, I might add, has never needed to be done before). You have ATV's a new (two?) dogs, every imaginable piece of equipment for a city this size. So, where are the arrests, the tickets, the badly needed revenue?
We appreciate what you do, but you need to do more of it.
Sure old Otis has a new cell, Barney is believed to have been authorized two bullets, and Aunt Bee's cell curtains have been replaced, and with Andy (Skip) and Barney taking to the cart paths on those newfangled four-wheelers the revenue is sure to increase.
Teenagers being themselves, children fishing and catching frogs, and the old folks catching a sunset by the lake is sure to increase their prospects now that they are certified along with their two new dogs. Hell, they stand a good chance of catching an old hippie democrat taking a toke on a roach!
One serious question, however: Are our new canine officers required to carry poop bags?
To quote a good friend: "Ain't it a great life!"
I believe Steve Brown supplies those from the Dog Park funds. They even have our logo and a lovely photo on them. Although, instead of "Plan To Stay", they say "Plan Your Poop". Custom made. Nothing but the best. PTC PD doggies can't wait to use them when the officer pulls one out.
That's what it actually says on the custom made poop bags. That's on the front on the outside of the bag. What most doggies and their owners don't know is that Steve Brown's picture and his campaign website is on the inside - which becomes the outside after the owner of the smelly dog scoops the poop.
Why people have dogs instead of cats is a mystery to me. We cats clean up after ourselves and we are much smarter than dogs.
That would make a great picture, wouldn't it? Someone holding a bag with Steve Brown's picture on it while turning their head away and plugging their nose. Kind of makes you want to turn it back the other way...poop and all.
have all the tools and staff they need now.
We need more of the cruiser sitting over the hill waitin' for the speeders coming down the road. More of the turning on of the blue lights when someone rolls thru our intersections instead of stopping first. How many have been driving with no headlights for the last 4 months of Noah's Ark weather and been pulled over for that?
Does anyone know if the PD can patrol store parking lots for handicap sign violators? Criminee, those fines are $500. a pop, if I remember right. Ask to see if the name of the driver/passenger matches the permit. Or is that too invasive of our privacy? If you have anyone in your family who really needs those spots, you wouldn't feel that way.
Nah, there are plenty who use our main roads and shopping centers "just passin' thru" that can supply us some revenue. Or, who live here and just wanna hope the odds are with them when they test the system.
are only for those who want a good parking place 90% of the time.
I personally know some of them. Selfish and better people, I suppose.
I also know some who are handicapped but prefer the exercise!
Seeing as you know you are broke. Stop crying in your beer at the Y not bar where losers hang out. Work harder, enjoy what you do, 5 year pay and benefit FREEZE until we get back on our feet. If you have a problem from a crabby employee tell them to quit or fire them. There are 289,000 unemployed Georgians in the metro area. They will be more than happy to take the job. And have a nice day
If it is illegal, it shouldn't be.
And like he says, cut off the funding or divert it to somewhere else. What is so hard about that?
Filling up some vacant shop space and vacant land and buildings should be a priority for you, Mr. Haddix. How about gettin' with the program?
If this really is Don Haddix on this forum I appreciate you paying close attention to different perspectives in the PTC community.
Call me naive, but I just moved to PTC from an another Atlanta suburb and I love PTC. I love the paths, the neighbors, I even love the fact that police pull people over for having tail lights out. And believe it or not, I know you do not hear this much, I even love the higher taxes.
Let me tell you why, I just moved from an area riddled with economic development and low property taxes, and trust me the results are not good. When we moved to that other area over 15 years ago, it was simple but nice and when development started, that was nice to. New clean stores, not too much traffic. But in the last 5-7 years it has really taken a turn for the worse. This city is in rapid decline, crime is skyrocketing, and traffic is insane!
The really funny thing is that in this city that is in decline the mileage rate is very low compared to PTC and yet people in that city still complain about property taxes being too high. They are complaining because as their taxes are going up, they do not see that they are getting good services. PTC has always had higher property taxes compared to other communities and PTC has always stood head and shoulders above those other communities when it comes to services. I say we maintain that arrangement.
At least in PTC I can see what I get for my property tax. And again I love it. If we need to raise the rates by 38%, so be it. You have my support. That is money out of my pocket, but I have seen the difference of low property taxes in other cities and I do not like it.
The bottom line is that the economic downturn is causing inflation to outpace property values. Which means that every city's expenses are going up while it's income is going down. It may be that PTC will need to make cuts in services, but in this situation more property tax is going to be necessary and perfectly understandable given the decrease in property values.
And by paying that extra tax, I have confidence it will be used to keep PTC what it is today which is distinguished in excellence when compared to dozens of other small cities in metro Atlanta. I don't want tattoo parlors, movie theatres, title loan sharks, rundown apartment complexes, check cashing dens, and pawn shops to spring up in PTC in an effort to keep my property taxes low. I would much rather pay higher taxes.
If people move away from PTC because of a tax increase, I wish them luck. You get what you pay for and I seriously doubt they will find a nicer place for their tax dollar.
The difference is clear.
"escaped" has got it exactly right. You get what you pay for. The real issue should be the value of your house (average around $250,000) vs. $26 added to your annual tax bill.
It is really pretty simple, pay the extra taxes, maintain services and the appearance of PTC and housing values will hold and increase. OR we can not raise taxes, reduce services, have a higher crime rate, higher insurance costs, rundown roadways and cart paths and eventually lower house prices and that "Riverdale" look that everybody gets so upset about.
That's not to say we shouldn't be vigilant about eliminating questionable expenses like superfluous department heads (remember the Asst. City Manager) and wasteful ideas like new village signs.
Those that insist we must not raise taxes on some principle, need to consider whether their principle is more important than everyone's property values. maybe it is to some, but the job or our leaders is not to pander to small special interest groups - it is to do what is best for all the people in the city and IMHO that would be to maintain property values. If you want to think even more deeply about that, consider economic development, healthy retail centers and job creation. Isn't all of that much more likely to occur in a well-kept and attractive community with stable house values? Huh?
I know I didn't move to Peachtree City for what it didn't offer. I moved here because for my Family, it was a MUCH better place to live.
Right off the top, part of the problem is misleading numbers. The very second sentence in this article is wrong.
"With a projected shortfall of $757,128 in the upcoming 2010-2011 fiscal year ... " The true shortfall for FY2011 is currently estimated at $1,214,000. The model is including not only the $757K deficit but also an embedded 0.25 mill increase. A 0.25 mill increase is about $457K. So you have to add that to the "deficit" to get the real total problem for FY2011.
I have asked the city finance director to remove millage increases in his presentation at retreat so we can all see the true problem in all the outyears. Yes, the numbers are still scary and Yes it was preventable!
Poor, very poor financial management lead to this problem. How is it that we've had FOUR (4) tax increases since 2002 from a millage rate of 3.836 to now with a millage rate of 5.533 and IT'S STILL NOT ENOUGH! The model says we are facing over a $15 million dollar problem over the next 5 fiscal years. Even after all the tax hikes we've had up to now. Everybody out there knows govenment cannot control themselves when they see money. So sorry.
However, we will have an option to consider an FY2011 budget without using tax increases, without using city cash reserves and NOT cutting services.
I really wish folks would stop with the scare tactics saying its either a tax increase or cutting service. That is not a true statement as we will see at the retreat. I've seen enough scare tactics pulled on our citizens to know the difference.
My favorite is to clean up the Tourism/Dev. Authority mess created by you know who and to save some money at the same time.
Taking that idea 1 step further, the Fayette County Development Authority position is vacant and being advertised. Since we know business relocation and expansion will be limited until we neuter Prezbo in November and get some serious tax cuts going, is it not logical to consider that Peachtree City and Fayette County share the funding of that job? Obviously no need to replace the Tourism Director (at $92k, for God's sake). So we pay half of a reasonable salary out of the hotel/motel tax and get an active effort at bringing in new businesses to PTC and Fayette County (and yes, growth in both areas helps everyone). Does that make sense?
And then of course you look real hard at city staff salaries and if we see things like $92k for Tourism or $120k for an Asst. City Manager, we get out the axe.
You are a minnow nipping at a piece of fatback on a hook when you say cut this guy and that guy.
Where is the greatest money? The very highest percentage?
Add up the protection departments and subtract from the total labor costs and if you cut that number left in half, it wouldn't balance the budget for next year and several more!
What you are proposing on the H/M is illegal. the old DevAuth getting the H/M was illegal as well.
As for the Asst. City Manager that position has been gone for close to a year now.
Adjustments on Tourism are in work. That is all I will say at this time on that matter.
Just an FYI.
Now, I have to go to a meeting.
OK, do what Reagan did, cut the T/A funding. No funding, no costs!
Reagan destroyed OSHA and several other departments that way! The heads sat in Washington with no operating money and only responded somewhat upon a tragedy.
Sure don't want anything illegal popping up, but looking at Tourism with some creativity would be a very good thing.
Economic development is still very important.
First, let me say that the efforts made by you and Council thus far are appreciated and have not gone unnoticed.
To begin, we fund the Tourism Board at $497K annually and the Development Authoruty at $35K annually. The priority is dead wrong, simply reverse the funding totals and transfer remaining 'employees' to the Development authority so they can find actual work. I cannot speak for all, but logic would tell me that far fewer folks would consider Peachtree City over Panama City for a weeks vacation or even spring break.
Next suspend all take home of city vehicles. With gasoline fast approaching $3 per gallon, this is an expenditure that can be avoided. More 'foot patrols' in lieu of drives through Kedron, Braelinn, or Aberdine. Revert back to police bicycles on the cart paths instead of those all terrain monsters that a previous police chief duped you into buying. While you're at it, just how many people employed in the Recreation Department get sedans? We seem to see them riding about town continuously.
Force 'staff' to take a ten percent cut across the board in funding. Eliminate merit bonuses until the end of the economic downturn, and limit only to hourly employees. Furlough Department heads for at least two pay periods, we all know their respective charges can get along quite well in their absence. If they can't you should consider replacement.
Yes, I can be a loose canon, but prove me wrong!
I am answering your post because you covered a lot of issues in one place. Most assuredly I didn't come on to get involved in a big debate here with the week ahead I have.
We do have a lot going on to try to get PTC on the correct course for the future.
Indeed we have to increase DAPC funding. But Tourism is not funded out of the General Budget, but from Hotel/Motel Tax, which use of is strictly mandated by the State.
We are working on changing the H/M program and other issues to get a lot more effective use of the funds. But we cannot just transfer it to DAPC, as it was in the bad old days, because that simply is illegal now as it was then.
On take home of emergency vehicles we went over that with a fine tooth comb last year. It actually saves money to allow them to go within a certain radius of PTC. As well the enhanced response times for call ins is well worth allowing it. They cannot be used for personal use and there are three radial distances for taking home, the second and third of which has a charge per month on the employees.
Additionally we are using more bike patrols already. Chief Clark has been very sensitive on those issues.
As regards Rec please remember we do not buy new vehicles for everyone each time. When a police car maxes out at 125,000 miles it becomes an auxiliary police, Rec or some other department vehicle until it dies. Same with Public Works trucks getting bumped over to Rec and others that do not have as much wear and tear.
As for a 10% cut across the board on Staff, first of all not all Staff is high paid and second, trying to do selective cuts like that means law suits we would lose. Employee laws governing municipal employees is not the same as private sector.
Further, we brought in an auditor last year to review pay, jobs and so forth. PTC was found to be middle to low on pay structures overall and any out of line job descriptions were rewritten.
As far as Merit and COLA pay goes, that was ended beginning October 1, 2009.
Finally, on Department Head pay, what is the point of furloughing salaried employees?
You know me, Mike. I am digging into and looking for every reasonable cut we can make. But reality is, while there are a few more adjustments we can make for efficiency, the fat is gone. We are at the point where it is service cuts, use the Reserve, a small tax increase or a combination thereof.
Like anyone running a household budget knows you can only cut so much spending until you hit the point of having to do without or find more money.
Hope that helped clear up some issues, even if it wasn't the answers you wanted to hear.
Please be specific on the service cuts and what each cut would save.
I recommended "zero" budgeting for 3-4 years, at least.
As to the half million of tax money spent on the airport and Tennis Center, etc., the airport and Tennis Center would be forclosed upon with your suggestion!
It may come to that anyway.
I can't agree with keeping all headcount and just cut their wages and benefits. We are headed for 3-4 years of budget shortfall, minimum.

Five colleges and schools within the UW are beginning to implement new advisory councils in an effort to increase student involvement in decision-making on campus.
The councils are the result of a recent joint proposal from the Associated Students of the University of Washington (ASUW) and the Graduate and Professional Student Senate (GPSS).
The College of Built Environments, the Evans School of Public Affairs, the College of Arts & Sciences, the College of Engineering, and the Foster School of Business are acting as pilot schools for the College- and School-level Student Planning and Budgeting Councils proposal, which was presented to UW deans last week by ASUW President Conor McLean, ASUW Director of University Affairs Evan Smith, and Graduate and Professional Student Senate (GPSS) President Charles Plummer.
"Students are bearing the brunt of budget cuts, and they need that stronger voice," Smith said.
These councils will be made up of students from each college or school who will meet regularly with the dean of their college. Councils will advise their deans on matters of course fees, annual budgets, and both long- and short-term planning for their college or school. They will also provide the Provost's Advisory Committee for Students (PACS) with annual recommendations for the budget and student priorities.
The proposal for the councils was presented to the deans Wednesday of last week, and it noted that both ASUW and GPSS include in their goals that student views should be present during decision making at all levels of the university. The proposal aims to make this joint goal more of a reality.
Daniel Friedman, dean of the College of Built Environments, one of the five pilot colleges for the proposal, said Built Environments was already in the process of forming a student council before the proposal, and, after a conversation with McLean, Smith, and Plummer, the council formation has new structure and incentive.
"I think that they've presented a well-reasoned and articulate expansion of the culture of shared governance at the University of Washington," Friedman said after last week's ASUW/GPSS presentation.
The Evans School of Public Affairs also agreed to be a pilot school for the proposal.
"I think it's a great idea," said Sandra Archibald, dean of the Evans School. "[Students are] paying 70 percent of the bill."
The Evans School already has a student organization made up of nine elected officers, and Archibald has consulted with them informally in the past. The official Planning and Budgeting Councils will make this student-faculty interaction within the school even stronger.
"It shouldn't be hard for us to do," Archibald said of implementing the official council.
The councils, which Smith hopes will be active in every college and school within the UW by the end of the next academic year, will be made up of a diverse group of students from each college or school. Spots on each council will be reserved for a member of the ASUW and a member of the GPSS.
Both graduate and undergraduate students are encouraged to be on each council, which should "achieve a membership representative of [the] unique diversity," of each college, according to the proposal.
The idea for these councils is supported by Provost Ana Mari Cauce, and Friedman said that he believed every dean welcomed the proposal.
The pilot councils should be up and running by spring quarter of this year, and ASUW and GPSS plan to update the deans on the progress of these councils again before the full implementation of councils throughout campus next year.
"It's another step in the right direction to have better channels for student advocacy," Smith said. "And to get more student influence within the planning and budgeting process within the university, which is more important now than ever."

If a provider did not report to PQRS in 2013 and is being assessed a -1.5% payment reduction, then he or she cannot report 2013 data retroactively. Eligible professionals, which include both dermatologists and non-physician clinicians who bill Medicare, should make every effort to report in 2014 to try to avoid a payment reduction in 2016.
A review of the steps dermatologists should take to begin reporting to Medicare's Physician Quality Reporting System in order to avoid negative payment adjustments for non-reporting.
If one believes that he or she received an incorrect Physician Quality Reporting System (PQRS) payment reduction letter from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), this information can be verified without calling the CMS Help Desk by utilizing CMS' new PQRS Look Up tool. The PQRS Look Up tool is connected to the same files the CMS Help Desk accesses to verify whether a provider is subject to the 2015 PQRS payment adjustment or should have received a 2013 PQRS incentive. To utilize the tool, providers and practices will need to type in their Tax Identification Number (TIN) or TIN/ National Provider Identifier (NPI) combo.
If one feels he or she is receiving a PQRS payment adjustment in error, an Informal Appeal will need to be filed by February 28, 2015. This can be done through the Communication Support Page.
An informal review may be requested for any of the following reasons:
In 2015, eligible professionals (EPs) must report at least nine quality measures that cover at least three of the National Quality Strategy Domains. An EP is any provider who bills Medicare under his or her own NPI. If an EP works under multiple tax ID numbers (TINs), he or she must report PQRS under each one.
CMS also detailed a new requirement stating that at least one of the reported measures must be from a set of cross-cutting measures. Each measure must be reported for at least 50 percent of the EP's Medicare Part B fee-for-service patients seen Jan. 1 through Dec. 31, 2015 for which the measure applies. The five dermatology-specific measures, #137, #138, #224, #265, and #337, from the 2014 program will continue. Additionally, there will be a new pathology measure that applies to melanoma: measure #397. This measure looks at whether the EP has documented pathology reports for primary malignant cutaneous melanoma that include the pT category and a statement on thickness and ulceration and for pT1, mitotic rate.
If less than nine measures apply, EPs must go through the Measure Applicability Validation (MAV) process. CMS uses this process to evaluate whether or not EPs could have reported on additional measures, and determine whether or not they satisfied reporting requirements.
The forthcoming 2015 QRS registry will be able to report 18 measures.

Concerned New Hanover County parents will get their questions answered Monday night, after four students tested positive last week for the H1N1 virus.
Three Gregory Elementary students and one student from Snipes Academy have been required to stay home for a minimum of seven days. The schools have disinfected classrooms and buses.
Many parents decided to pull their children out of school Friday. More than 200 students were absent from Snipes and Gregory. The health department said there is no need to close the schools right now, unless more cases are discovered.
"I can understand why they would want to keep it open. There is only one kid at this school and three at the other, as long as things don't get out of hand you can't panic about situations like this," said Snipes Academy parent Marie Waters.
Administrators are still working to determine who else might have been exposed to H1N1. Monday night's parent informational session will include senior administrators from the school system, as well as health department representatives.
The meeting is at Gregory Elementary School in the media center. It begins at 6:00 p.m. It is open to the public, and concerned citizens are welcome to attend.

When the winds blows, the racing at FBF can be very simple. If you go to the front of the race in the windy sections and go hard, people are less likely to follow you. That's it—strength against strength and the rider who can ride stronger longer wins. Personally, windy nights are a welcome respite from the more tactical and sometimes crabby racing that happens on windless Tuesday nights. When the wind blows, I go the front and pedal hard and see what happens.
Last night I also had the added luxury of having teammates Warren and Aaron along, and since between the three of us we have the sprinting capabilities of 1 and 1/2 people, we decided to make the race less crowded by attacking. And so we did. Aaron got away for about a lap early in the race, and Warren escaped on more than one occasion also. When we hit the wind between turns three and four, I tried to come up on the good side of the wind and be near the front in case opportunities to display my mightiness presented themselves. And on lap 5, an opportunity arose.
I was sitting on my perch near the front when there was an increase in the pace, and as the riders in front of me pulled off, I jumped into the wind. This split the race apart and I took along a rider from Echelon with me. I worked for an entire half lap to establish a split, and by turn two, we were away. FBF, when viewed from above, is a trapezoid, with the straight from turn one to turn two the longest segment and the straight between turn three and four the shortest. The finish and the back straight are the same length and about a half mile long. When breaking away from a race, it's best to have a finish or back stretch's worth distance between you and the field. Being out of sight of the field on those straights tends to discourage chasing. Getting that distance was my goal on the first lap of my attack. I was working so hard that I eventually dropped the other rider that was with me, but I was desperate to get that distance, and after about a lap, I was close to it. I crossed the line with four to go and Charlie signaled that there would be a green jersey sprint on the next lap. Which meant there'd be a surge behind me, but hopefully the sprinters would jump and then rest, and after the dust settled, my gap would remain consistent.
That didn't happen. I had three laps to go, and the pack had made up some ground on the sprint. But I wasn't going to give up, because, you know, why race bikes at all... I decided to go all out with three to go, maintain my gap with two to go, and mangle myself on the last lap and roll in victoriously. In the beginning of the race, according to Strava, we averaged 24.5 mph, after I jumped away, my average speed was 24.4 mph. Which, if you are good at math, meant that I was off the front but also off the pace by a tenth of a mile an hour. That's not a victorious pace, which is a shame because I had a really nice finish line celebration planned. After my three-ish lap effort at a slightly slower pace, the mathematics bore themselves out and I was caught with a lap and a half to go.
I huddled into the pack and tried to catch my breath. The inevitable sprint finish seemed to loom ahead, and I tried to rest to get myself a minor placing and some points for the overall. Warren and Aaron worked at the front for me, but I was a box of burnt matches. I tried to get up and sprint, but there was no sprint in me. Rob B got the win in a field sprint, I got a few pats on the back. I rolled back to the start and immediately started scheming about how to get another half mile an hour out of my pack of matches.
Just a reminder that there is no day of registration at the FBF Classic, Kids Race and Big Wheels Championship on Sunday - so make sure to register on Bikereg before it closes at noon on Friday.
Ever think they were blocking, and not chasing, numb nuts?
Lord knows I don't.

You want MORE write ups from some lame cat 3 who never wins anything??!?!!?
why no writeup of saturdays race?
In defense of Kissena rider 3, it was ascertained that Kissena rider 5 was in fact a fully operational Porta-John.
That could result in an occult fracture of the Trapezium possibly due to Occultics who regard the trapezoid as a sacred shape
Due to the isoscelic trapezoidal nature of the FBF course, turking this race is almost impossible. Only the best turker can turk this race of geometric proportions!
i got a hemorrhoid racing the trapezoid and my mate got a spot on his perineum racing the trapezium. Strangely, we were both right.
Dan's critics isoliciously trapped through retro-wikification.
I guarantee geometric accuracy or your money back!
Better if you read the definition of a trapazoid at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trapezoid rather than just look at the image....
Come and see the Floyd Bennett Field isosceles trapezoid at the FBF race presented by our friends at Lucarelli & Castaldi on Sunday. Register at https://www.bikereg.com/Net/15597
Come for the race, stay for the "Big Wheels" Championship and kids races.
Thanks to Charlie I for helping us with this race.
If FBF were a trapezoid, then it would be impossible for the finish and the back straight to be the same length.
Strava can be harsh
There are no achievements on this ride.
sad... but true
Kissena Rider 1 "Do we have a rider up the road?"
Kissena Rider 2 "Yes"
Kissena Rider 1 "Awsome!"
Kissena Rider 3 comes to the front and helps with the chases

DHS News September 2011
September 2011 DHS Newsletter
On Sept. 4, the 12th annual Allegheny County Music Festival raised more than $15,000 to benefit the Allegheny County Music Festival Fund (ACMFF), despite persistent rain and muddy ground conditions. The ACMFF provides children and youth served by DHS and Juvenile Probation with life-enriching items and opportunities otherwise unavailable through government funds. Providing funding for dance and karate classes, music lessons, summer camp, and graduation expenses are just a few of the many ways that the ACMFF creates a sense of normalcy in the life of a vulnerable child or adolescent. The main event for this year's festival was a performance by Pittsburgh-based band Rusted Root. This was the fourth year in a row that Rusted Root has performed for the festival to help benefit ACMFF. In addition to the Rusted Root performance, this year's festival was kicked-off with an opening performance by three youth who participated in the We Rock Workshop this summer. The workshop is a residency program led by Liz Berlin of Rusted Root that teaches foster youth to open up creatively through music. The youth, Deidra, Aaliyah and Shannon, sang four songs for the crowd of concert-goers.

Absolutely hated it, this is the most horrible mascara ever. i bought it because I was buying a bunch of Colorescience stuff( that I love) and got the mascara and hate it very much!
I've tried to change my whole makeup and skin care products to natural or organic since my pregnancy. Sadly I have to admit that as far as the brands I've tried, natural makeup does not live up to my expectation at all. Maybe this is just the way it is. Makeup wise most natural products does not perform well. This product is one of the many natural makeup products. It's not bad but not good either. It's just a mascara that does not offer length or volume but people can tell u are wearing some makeup. As a waterproof mascara, its relatively easy to take off and u don't have to rub at all which is quite good, but I do think there is not much product in the packaging or maybe the brush just don't pick up products well so I have to really dig into the tin try to get some more product, and again it's not that builtable as well.it failed in the overall effect that a nowadays mascara should provide.
This is a very "easy on the eyes" waterproof mascara. It does not add length or thickness but it does stay on and last all day. Gives a more natural look on me. Easy to remove with regular cleanser. Won't repurchase because I am still trying other waterproof mascras out. Price is $25 a tube. Comes packaged in a bronzed gold metal tube.

WRIGHTSVILLE BEACH -- As the peak of hurricane season approaches, experts say boat owners should prepare their boats now before it's too late. Captain Gregory Woodby works for Aquatic Safaris and Towboat U.S. He said, "A lot of times people are scrambling at the last minute to try to get their boat secure."
Captain Woodby says the first thing to do to prepare your boat for severe weather is to have a plan. Once you know severe weather is on the way, you should get your boat out of the water if it isn't too big, according to Captain Woodby. "The boats that end up sinking are smaller boats. The batteries run dead and they just cannot keep the water out," he said.
If you don't have a place to keep your boat on land, consider a boat storage unit. Kim Loyd of Watermark Marina of Wilmington says boat owners can lease hurricane spaces. She said, "They take them inland or to someone's house, big inconvenience. If they're brought here they know they'll be safe and secure and they know that their boats are going to be protected."
When your boat is tied up in the water during a storm, Captain Woodby says a lot of damage is done by other boats that break loose from the dock. He said, "Whatever lines you have attached to the dock, make sure they're new lines and they're chafe-guarded with the proper materials and then have another set of lines in case they would actually break."
Captain Woodby says chafe guards for your rope are relatively cheap and are well worth the investment. He also recommends boat insurance because he says damage during severe weather is inevitable.

This is an amazing piece of work that should be shown on every channel on every TV station in every country.
Not even 5mins long and blows the official theory out the water. Excellent vid.
221 Responses to "Best 911 Video Ever"
Yah and all the people on each plane was in on it
no Rob, they were just collateral damage.
if you make a million U$D and in the process kill a million people, the kill is worth it.
We are still waiting for all your "proof" this was an "inside job" Truthers. It's been 12 years and you guys can't prove a single claim you make. That is why you are called conspiracy theorists. All you have is theory and nothing solid. Suspicions, paranoia and speculation do not constitute proof of anything. Until you have it you should give it a rest.
It can also be considered a conspiracy theory to to believe that we were attacked, since the evidence is tucked away and/or destroyed. Give us proof that it was an outside job. The argument is a two edged sword.
Nothing solid? How about fire alone can't bring down a building as if there is no resistance.? Not once in history, before or after 9/11 has a building collapsed with no resistance, (that bits important- no resistance) due to fire damage! Last I checked physics is not a conspiracy theory ? No resistance is no resistance= nothing there !!! If a falling brick hits another stable brick, the stable brick will slow it down ! This didn't happen in 3 buildings in 1 day ! 3 times it happened when in history it has never occurred. There has been fires on record in buildings for over 20 hours on 50% or more of its floors, never come down. So Elmer, the question becomes, you prove to me how a building can collapse at free fall speed, otherwise known as with no resistance , if all the base columns were not taken care?
This guy needs to keep hunting wabbits^^^^cause you still think it's still season….anyone with half a brain can see the truth
Who was it that said don't give me intellectuals and thinkers, give me strong men and loyal women to lead…. (words to that effect)
Why have we NEVER seen footage of the plane hitting the Pentagon??? The most video taped building in the world and still no video showing a plane that, every pilot interview, states that it would have been absolutely impossible for and inexperienced pilot to pull off the manuvers it would have taken to fly a jumbo jet into that building the way they claim it was done. Wake up sheeple!!!!!
What you mean apart from the footage showing the plane hitting the pentagon.
Mike Orr: "how were the fires started?" – really? Didn't I just explain about the building being showered by debris and burning jet fuel from the neighbouring crashes? Can you either not read, or not comprehend?
curious why then only (1) building was the victim to all this falling debris covered in Jet fuel???
I realize that not accepting this video as proof positive that the US government was behind the 9/11 attacks makes me hopelessly . . . well, something or other, but for starters, those of you who find this all very convincing, could you explain to me what the fact that the airspace involved in the attacks was "the most heavily defended in the world" has to do with the man in the moon? Because no one knew there was an attack until, well, there was an attack: you know, when the big plane hit one tower of the WTC and then, shortly thereafter another big plane hit the other tower? Assuming just for a moment that no one but the attackers knew this was going to happen, would doubling the defense of the air space made it NOT happen? Tripling it?
My point, of course, is that the amount of defense you have over an airspace doesn't much matter until you realize you're being attacked. . . and if what tells you that you're being attacked is that a plane hits the WTC (which most people thought was a tragic if bizarre accident one the first plane hit, and only started to grasp that it was an attack when the second one crashed into the other tower).
So if that's the opening salvo, I'm not impressed. Neither am I impressed by the mention of box cutters (as if the simplicity of the weapon made the compliance of those on board impossible to imagine; I'm sure if YOU had one of those pressed against your throat or that of someone you cared about, you'd go about your business unconcerned, because, well, the weapon is just "too crude" and inexpensive). The dismissive comments about Bin Laden, his medical condition, the use of a laptop, etc., don't really diminish any of what happened, make it less likely, or lead to the conclusion that this must have been a plot by the US government.
In other words, the opening of this video sounds like argument by sarcasm, not by facts or logic, and that doesn't predispose a neutral viewer to think, "Oh, here comes a steel-trap argument that no reasonable person could refute or resist. In fact, it makes this viewer think that what follow will be more of the same, and hence, not convincing at all.
If you have to open with nothing more than argument by tone of voice, you've already lost.
By the way, for those of you who believe that this was all a put-up job by some very insidious government agents who were supporting the Bush Administration's plans to invade Iraq, why didn't they bother to use Iraqis instead of Saudis?
The terrorist organisations are a collective group of punjabs, iraqis, saudi arabians, africans, people from pakistan, turkey, russia, bosnia. And loads more, they all consist of many ethnic groups, many with their own agenda. Mostly developing countries,
Which is why you see so much hate, from many countries in the middle east, asia and Europe.America has a long, deep and brutal history with the countries mentioned. And they won't just bow down and accept invasion when their countries are dominated by a religion that teaches them to fight to the death when attacked, until they are destroyed completely.
For them to claim that they were all Iraqis without undeniable irrefutable evidence would be absurd. So in that, they used the country with the most terrorists come out of as percentage of their population.
You can't have it all point in one direction, otherwise it would make sense and nobody would support the war.
Conspiracy theorists are not structural engineers or scientists (and if they are, they are doing their mindwork poorly). So they can believe in anything and stomp on the PROVEN facts with accusations/ evidence they cannot prove. = G E T A L I F E
everyone on the side of government, give me a stinking break. theorists don't need hard evidence. the evidence is all the interviews and science and facts that we all know can or can't happen based on materials and how the materials are affected. so you are calling all those professionals and scientists liars? they accumulated knowledge and experience for years then gave their opinions based on fact and that's not good enough? screw you all. the government is the liars!

"I was thrilled when he asked me to do it 'cause when he sent the song to me, I just loved it immediately," says Nelly. The song seems to correlate the same message as Katy Perry's hit "Firework" and Pink's "Perfect."
"It's a very hopeful and sweet, pure song about emotions that everybody feels every day of their lives," she said. "We always want to feel like we're a part of something and that we're not alone."

Don't ask the kids unless you can handle the answer, and other truths about motherhood
I'm sort of fascinated by the upcoming movie, Mars Needs Moms. Not only because my twitter handle is @MomOnMars (apparently, aliens need more than just twitter handles) but because it does raise a good question: What would my kids miss most if I were abducted by aliens? So I asked them, just out of curiosity. […]

During that visit, Aaron introduced us to a program […]

Updates to this story
IBM is a better company than Hewlett Packard, according to IBM.
IBM's services division chief Mike Daniels reckons, in terms of integrated software and services, HP is not quite up to scratch. Ahead of a speech from chief HP exec Leo Apotheker, Daniels said: "It's not like we have a company that has a software strategy and then a services strategy or a hardware strategy."
IBM believes that linking its software close to services it has the edge on HP. While HP has been focusing on services, Daniels said: "I think it would take a long time for anybody to accumulate the kind of capability that we have."
Apotheker's vision won't screw up Wall Street either, according to IBM, and it won't push up purchase prices. There were worries, says the Financial Times, that an HP software push would send acquisition costs sky high.
"I don't see one more person in the marketplace as changing things," Daniels said.
The worst situation, IBM didn't say, would be a 3PAR-style drama in the middle of Silly Season that forces technology journalists into writing about a dull as dish water acquisition because there's nothing else out there.

Dwyane Wade Unveils His First Pair of Signature Air Jordans
The shoes incorporate the iconic Air Jordan logo on the heel as well as Wade's #3 logo on the tongue.
While Jordans have gained a bit of a reputation as merely a fashion shoe, too clunky for on-the-court play, Wade says the shoe that consumers can buy straight off the shelf is pretty similar to the pairs he'll wear on the court.

Samsung Galaxy Note II Review
Samsung's new Galaxy Note II arrives with some heritage to explain it, though a 5.5-inch smartphone can still take some explaining. After its first-gen predecessor blustered its way into a new segment - known by some and loathed by others as "phablets" - the new model tweaks the formulae some, boosting performance, smoothing the design, and polishing the digital pen elements that help set it apart from the smartphone crowd. So, if the original Galaxy Note eventually answered the question "will it sell?" can the Samsung Galaxy Note II convince us that it's a worthwhile upgrade? Read on for the full SlashGear review.

Shrewsbury V Yeovil at Greenhous Meadow Stadium : Match Preview
Shrewsbury V Yeovil - view commentary, squad, and statistics of the game live.
Morgan misses outShrewsbury will be without suspended leading scorer Marvin Morgan for the visit of Yeovil.Morgan bagged his fifth goal of the campaign to put the Shrews back in contention at Portsmouth on Saturday, but was immediately shown red straight from the resulting kick-off.The striker, already on a booking, brought down Brian Howard before his furious reaction at the soft decision brought a second yellow card and a subsequent red from referee Fred Graham. Morgan now serves a two-match ban after Shrewsbury opted not to appeal.Morgan's unavailability is likely to mean a starting berth for one or both of fit-again frontmen Terry Gornell and Sam Winnall, with Morgan playing as Town's only out-and-out striker in recent weeks.Defenders Darren Jones and Joe Jacobson could also earn recalls to manager Graham Turner's starting XI having overcome illness and injury respectively of late.Back-up goalkeeper Joe Anyon (hip) will be assessed after 42-year-old goalkeeping coach Gavin Ward was forced to take his place on the bench in the 3-1 defeat to Pompey.Yeovil captain Jamie McAllister is one of four injury worries for manager Gary Johnson.The Scotland international limped off with 15 minutes left of the Glovers' 2-1 victory over 10-man Bury on Saturday and he will be assessed by the club's medical staff before a decision is made on the 34-year-old left-back's fitness.Keanu Marsh-Brown was replaced at half-time on Saturday by Gavin Williams and the Welshman is expected to deputise should the 20-year-old's bruising not die down.Korey Smith and Ed Upson are likely to shake off the knocks picked up against Kevin Blackwell's men while on-loan Reading striker Gozie Ugwu could come back into contention after recovering from a hamstring injury.Defender Luke Ayling remains on the sidelines with a hip problem.

The practice has been a Finalist in the Quest Business Achiever Awards in 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012, cementing its place as one of Greater Springfield's popular businesses.
In November 2013, the practice was Accredited under the National Safety and Quality Health Service (NSQHS) Standards. This demonstrates our commitment to delivering a high standard of dental care, and to continually strive to improve our services to you.
The Future
Our future we be built on providing high quality, cost effective dental services for which we have become known.

ten Brink, Joram (2006) The journey. , 20 Apr - 31 Jul 2006, Kiasma Museum of Contemporary Arts, Helsinki, Finland.
Full text not available from this repository.
An essay film made on board the Trans Siberian Express. The Journey (16mm / DVD 20 min) is an essay film reflecting the changes aboard a train journey through space and time. Ten Brink's work uses narrative and non-narrative structures to portray the 'real' as a complex grid of space and time, culture and memory. Thus memory, real time and dreams all find their own space in the train journey. The film utilises cinematic language as cinematic 'text' which becomes a reflective text, mediating between filmmaker and viewer. The Journey constantly shifts its parameters, asking the viewer to reassess the origin and meaning of the exotic content of the film. In the repeated viewing context of looped gallery projection the numerous cinematic narratives and shifting points of view in The Journey allow for multiple readings of the work. Ten Brink was selected in 2005 to take part in an international conference on board the Trans Siberian Express. The conference – Capturing the Moving Mind: Management and Movement in the Era of Permanently Temporary War - brought together 40 artists, political scientists, sociologists and media scholars from 20 countries. Along the route there were conferences in Moscow, Novosibirsk and Beijing and a variety of art works and research papers were produced, culminating in a journal publication and an exhibition at the Kiasma Museum of Contemporary Art in Helsinki (part of the ARS 06- Sense the Real Exhibition). This included work by Jake and Dino Chapman, Jota Castro and Petah Coyne. The Journey was screened at the cinema and as video loop in the gallery at Kiasma, and subsequently at London Gallery West, UK, (25.10.07 – 6.01.08). Ten Brink has revised and updated his writings on Essay Film for publication in Film Quarterly in the USA in 2008.

Work continues on The Bachelor's Guide to Getting Laid Through Cooking, although slower than I'd hoped.
On the other hand, how many cookbooks not only tell you how to outfit your kitchen and dining room for seduction for less than 300 bucks, but also include jokes about what food processors do to small mammals and Charisma Carpetner's eating habits (or lack thereof)?
Notoriously good fun. The other question is, am I going to put off my agent before she's really my agent? The emails might get interesting soon.
13 Comments, 13 Threads
My Question- are you going to have before and after pictures in your book as to the attitude of each prospective date. Instead of pictures of what the dish should look like have pictures of what the dish should look like after enjoying the meal.

Hurry up and get this thing finished so I can buy a copy.
Regarding Charisma…. don't worry about her, I'm sure she's just taking a break before launching a successful movie career. there are too many guys out there, myself included who would cheerfully pay movie prices to watch her read the phone book.

The Maxim of Cookbooks, hmm? Doesn't sound like it will makes to Walmart's shelves any time soon.
Of course, I am sure Walmart shoppers are not the target audience for a seduction cookbook. I am sure adding photos of Charisma might help sales on whatever shelf the book ends up on.

Well, good Buffy ep, but not the best.
3 nitpicks:
1. why would you attack 5K ubervamps wearing those boots? Wouldn't steel-toed flatter-soled be better than high heels?
2. Not enough dusting!!!! Slicing and dicing everywhere and only a few poofs!
3. Who was that mystery man who walked into the background looking for something while the scoobies talked about the mall?
And did anyone else notice the last 4 words Buffy uttered were "I love you," and "Spike."?
Guess I'll have to watch Angel to see how Spike returns. And the "essense" was mentioned in Fray #6 when she started the scythe. Very, very effectively.

(born Feb. 12, 1809, Shrewsbury, Shropshire, Eng.died April 19, 1882, Downe, Kent) British naturalist. The grandson of Erasmus Darwin and Josiah Wedgwood, he studied medicine at the University of Edinburgh and biology at Cambridge. He was recommended as a naturalist on HMS Beagle, which was bound on a long scientific survey expedition to South America and the South Seas (183136). His zoological and geological discoveries on the voyage resulted in numerous important publications and formed the basis of his theories of evolution. Seeing competition between individuals of a single species, he recognized that within a local population the individual bird, for example, with the sharper beak might have a better chance to survive and reproduce and that if such traits were passed on to new generations, they would be predominant in future populations. He saw this natural selection as the mechanism by which advantageous variations were passed on to later generations and less advantageous traits gradually disappeared. He worked on his theory for more than 20 years before publishing it in his famous On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection (1859). The book was immediately in great demand, and Darwin's intensely controversial theory was accepted quickly in most scientific circles; most opposition came from religious leaders. Though Darwin's ideas were modified by later developments in genetics and molecular biology, his work remains central to modern evolutionary theory. His many other important works included Variation in Animals and Plants Under Domestication (1868) and The Descent of Man (1871). He was buried in Westminster Abbey. See also Darwinism.
