If not I can still root and put a customer ROM on it and access the Play Store right? I would like it to work with my Amazon account too though as I have a lot of books purchased from there.

Supreme Court Declines Jack Thompson Appeal 100

We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
"In February 2007, The Florida Bar filed disbarment proceedings against Thompson over allegations of professional misconduct. The action was the result of separate grievances filed by people claiming that Thompson made defamatory, false statements and attempted to humiliate, embarrass, harass or intimidate them. According to the complaint, Thompson accused Alberto Cardenas of "distribution of pornography to children," claimed that the Alabama judge presiding over the Devin Moore case "breaks the rules, even the Alabama State Bar Rules, because he thinks that the rules don't apply to him," and sent a letter to Blank Rome's managing partner, saying, "Your law firm has actively and knowingly facilitated by various means the criminal distribution of sexual material to minors." Thompson claims that the complaints violate state religious protections because his advocacy is motivated by his Christian faith"

ASUS Radeon HD 7790 DirectCU II OC Overclocked Video Card Review - Power Consumption Test
Power Consumption Test
Using our PROVA Power Analyzer WM-01 or "Power Thingy" as it has become quickly known as to our readers, we are now able to find out what kind of power is being used by our test system and the associated graphics cards installed. Keep in mind; it tests the complete system (minus LCD monitor, which is plugged directly into AC wall socket).
There are a few important notes to remember though; while our maximum power is taken in 3DMark06 at the same exact point, we have seen in particular tests the power being drawn as much as 10% more. We test at the exact same stage every time; therefore tests should be very consistent and accurate.
The other thing to remember is that our test system is bare minimum - only a SSD hard drive is used with a single CD ROM and minimal cooling fans.
So while the system might draw 400 watts in our test system, placing it into your own PC with a number of other items, the draw is going to be higher.
Power consumption on the model is also strong with it sitting towards the bottom of our graph.

The rumored and much-awaited Sony event is nearing, so it's not surprising that the world of gaming is already at the heels of talk, speculation, hand-wringing, and a lot of wondering on what Sony has in store for the year.
According to The Guardian, Friday's event can go in several ways, with the most possible (and hoped for) being the announcement of the release date of the PlayStation 4.
Of course, for gamers, this doesn't stop them from speculating or looking for rumors on what they should expect when the actual next-gen console comes out in the market. Here's a roundup of the specs and updates on the PlayStation 4.
The name
Even the official branding of the new console has been speculated upon. In the Japanese language, four is translated to "shi," which also means death. This is the reason why some infrastructures in Japan don't have the fourth floor in them, as it is considered unlucky.
The trend has, so far, skipped the gaming industry, but with the solution of labeling it as "4" instead of the kanji equivalent.
GamesRadar points out that skipping the name trend for the console may result in failure to translate to an improvement in potential users eyes, since the number progression connotes the version and upgrade of the next-gen console.
The specs
As mentioned before, the PlayStation 3 has already made a name for itself in terms of performance compared to its competition, and according to Digital Trends, it is for this reason that there may not be too much of a difference for its successor.
After all, why fix what isn't broken? That doesn't mean that improvements won't be made. The CPU behind the next-gen console has not yet reached a definitive answer as to what may back the PlayStation 4. However, gaming blogs seem to agree on the magnified power of the CPU for up to eight times.
But as for the other specs, developer PlayStation 4 kits contain an 8GB of system memory, a 160 GB hard drive (speculated to be made exclusively for the developer version), and a 2.2 GB video memory.
What it needs
Aside from the specs that gamers are looking forward to, there are also a couple of things worth noting about with the PlayStation 4. It takes off from a pretty successful platform made by the PlayStation 3, which has been a huge improvement in the now phased out PlayStation 2.
According to CNet, what the fourth version should do is to make sure that the exclusivity in games lives through to the next-gen. This was the main issue of the PlayStation 3 when it was starting out, and it can be great if the next-gen can deal with this situation a little earlier.
CNet also reports that another improvement could be done in the system patches, so that the waiting time for playing a game can easily be eliminated. If this can be done the same way programs are installed din other devices (via caching) but without the need to limit the capabilities of data storage, it can best its predecessor by a good mile.

basement bathroom waste and vent question
pmfleischMay 14, 2013
I'm putting a bathroom in my basement and wanted to see if I was on the right track for my waste and vent plan. The bathroom will have a toilet and shower on one wall and the lav sink on the opposite wall. There is an existing drain line that runs from the sink and dishwasher above that goes to the sewer and is vented to the main stack of the house. My plan is to tie into those. At this point, I am hoping someone can let me know if I'm on track with the general design.
Here's what I sketched out...I'd appreciate any help you can offer. The part I shaded in blue are the existing lines.

10301 SW 72nd Street
Miami, Florida 33173
Miami Elks Lodge
July 13th ,1905 -Come - Join Us!
From the beginning of 2014, I was honored to serve as your Exalted Ruler. I had so many plans, so much I wanted to do, and the time just went by so fast. I guess time flies when you're having fun. We made changes, redecorated throughout. New roof, with the Crystal Ballroom that is an absolute joy to have as part of our Lodge. We have the best Board of Directors for some time, full of experience and enthusiasm, headed by Ed Leduc, and he has done an outstanding job even though he had only been a member only 6 months.
I recently attended the DDGER meeting in the Keys Lodge, Tavernier. I had to give an accounting of how our Lodge has done for this year so far. We com-pared extremely well with the other Lodge of the South district, and we have also Initiated 109 new members this year, which is not bad in any one's book.
We have members who give their time, putting their heart and soul into the committees and the projects that made the year one of the best ever. The social event calendar is just growing each month and Miami Elks Lodge #948 still has more to come.
The Sweetheart Ball is coming up again this month, hosted by their President, Helen Mule and the Elkettes. This is a very formal affair, and is one of the best attended and grandest events on our calendar. So for all of our members who have not yet been to the Ball, especially new members. Bring your significant oth-er on Valentine's Day for an evening of unforgettable dinner and dancing.
Thank you for supporting our Lodge, our Charities, the Veterans and our Youth, because without your help and participation, none of this would have been
Barry Wake
Exalted Ruler, Miami Elks Lodge #948
To inculcate the
principles of Charity, Justice, Brotherly Love and Fidelity; to
recognize a belief in God; to promote the welfare and enhance
the happiness of our members; to quicken the spirit of American
patriotism; to cultivate good fellowship; to perpetuate the
Order as a fraternal organization, and to provide for its government,
the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks of the United States
of America will serve the people and communities of this nation through
benevolent programs, demonstrating that Elks Care and Elks
The Miami Elks Lodge #948 was chartered on July
13th, 1905. William Mark Brown was the Exalted for the first two
years of our existence. The lodge consisted of 22 members
initially, has grown to as many as 3,000 members in the past and
currently has over 1,100 members. Over the years the lodge has
been a bellwether of community activity and a guiding force in
shaping Miami and South Florida. Organizations like the United
Way of Miami-Dade County and the South Florida Blood Bank can
trace their roots to our lodge, where they started with humble
beginnings and grew to be the community forces they are today.
We are also a charter member of the Florida State Elks
Association, comprised of 60,000 Elk members in 105 lodges throughout
Florida. Nationally our organization is comprised of over
840,000 members and over 2,100 lodges. We are the largest fraternal
organization in the United States. For more information about
the Order and the good works we do
click here.
Our aim is to lessen the suffering of those less fortunate than
us and to invest in benevolent programs that help our children
to realize their full potential as they grow up, to bring
comfort and assistance to veterans and active military service people of
the United States military, to be community leaders in the fight
against drugs and to quicken the pulse of Americanism in our
community. We achieve these goals using various financial instruments
to fund our benevolent programs,
donations, volunteerism and old fashioned hard work. We are a strong link
in the chain of B.P.O.E. lodges and annually contribute thousands
of dollars to charitable foundations as well as distributing
thousands of dollars to the local community.

Endeavour is being retired to LA, why wasn't it put on the list?
How it could be omitted and Enterprise included is really odd because Endeavour actually went into space while Enterprise didn't.
The opening sentence of this article is completely absurd. There is very little "culture" involved in the space program and aside from the Clear Lake community there are few people who passionately follow the space industry, despite the fact that it is a source of pride for the city. The Houston economy is of course much more influenced by energy businesses and its medical services. Both the author and the editor need to be called out and should be ashamed that this throw-away sentence ever appeared in print.
hi,this is Michelle.English is not my native language .I read this passage most for practising my reading comprehension.I do believe The Economist is a good magazine.here is my understanding of this passages.if it doesn't take so much time to read it i would like to receive some instruction of my understanding.thanks for the help.
my understanding :
From the topic ,I know this passage is about the end of the space-shuttle programme will affect the Texas and beyond strongly .
Paragraph 1:
The author decribes some background to help the reader to understand this passage and enlarge her passage .Based on the passage ,I know Jonhson Space Centre has long history in space field in Houstion .And it makes strong effects in city's cultural and economic life .then the author gives us some comparation and example to help us understand ,such as movie stars,astonauts daily lives,aerospace contractors ,government contracts and so on .
Paragraph 2:
With the end of the programme, NASA estimates that thousands of jobs will be lost around the country ,such as agency employees ,contractors ,Boeing space-exploration division and so on .
Paragraph 3:
With the end of the programme ,the job losses will be most extensive in Texas and in Florida .Houston will be better than the Florida because Houston has a more resilient economy . In Houston,Bob Mitchelle reckons with the end of the programme lots of people will move away and Houston will lost their expertise for ever .His group is trying to help the expertises find new jobs in Houston and wants to hold them for a few years .And his group believes what they do is right and if they succeed Houston will become the future of United States .
Paragraph4 :
The author reckons it is not about whether the space-shuttle is improtant for Untied States but it is who is the suitable to play the role in the space-shuttle programme for United States .Formerly the space-shuttle programmer manager at NASA, Wayne Hale,reckons Untied States still takes space-shuttle important but Houston is so proud that NASA stops the progromme in Houston.
Georoge Abbery has similar worries as Waybe Hale.He reckoned the America's space programme has suffered from policies because of broader economic consequences ,such as export controls on aerospace technology and control of highly skilled scientists and engineers . these short-sighted policies in an increasinglu competitive world made the America produce less products and only lead in technology .However, NASA says the shuttles will be succeeded by new leaps forward .the author are not sure that NASA will be succeed but the authour thinks if the new shuttles fail it is not just Florida and Texas will lose but United States fail.

christ.....there's ANOTHER one? :eek:
Thank god I read this.
For a moment I thought you were only supposed to shower every 24 days and that was why we always kept the bay doors open...
Sounds like you need a fitness program, not bigger showers
A multiple stall shower is in the plan if we ever build a new, larger station.
Does someone who is sick enough to call an ambulance really care how you look or smell??? In 38 years of doing this, I don't know of any complaints about how I look or smell when on a call. I have never had a complaint about how I look or smell while in my turnouts and scba fighting a fire either. :o
However, when I was working 24's for a private ambulance company there was an expectation by the management that personnel would take a shower at least once during the shift, preferably in the early evening if run volume permitted. Part of the reason was that since part of waht we did was non-emergent response and transport with much more interaction with family and nursing home staff.
On avearge each crew did 15-20 runs per shift.
uh-oh - you and me agree on something.
I have a question; what are the rules on having facial hair when firefighting?

Yes, I knew that about Leonard. He was always my favorite on Star Trek. My dad watched that show over and over when I was a kid.
apparently you didn't notice the link I provided in marty's 7 states of most people on food stamps. here's the link of actual numbers = http://www.fns.usda.gov/sites/default/files/pd/15SNAPpartPP.pdf
AC, hope you have a nice Thanksgiving!
Thank you for speaking out against the disgusting and WAY over the line tactic of posting people's actual names.
AC, it was an excellent response! And I read ALL of your comments whenever I see them. I am not surprised at all that she did not respond. Liberals don't have a rational response when their irrationality is exposed! I hope that you are doing well, my Friend! God Bless~!
How are ya? Just checking in.
AC-302, Glad you like the shield. I was a non-rate, then I became an officer, but now I am just retired.

That is a lot of money to throw away, but I guess that's just part of the price of doing business for drug dealers.
You would think so. But look at the Malaysian airliner that has never been found and the fact that drug dealers transport drugs into America by airplane daily without getting detected.

Our company PointAbout, Inc has been researching health insurance options for over 6 months now. I've always understood health insurance to be a complicated mess, but the more I dig into it, the more I wish I didn't have to.
Several of the executive staff at PointAbout have evaluated various health insurance options, but we haven't been able to find a plan or provider that gives us what we want. So, I'm turning to my blog with my wish list for company-provided health insurance to see if anyone has any suggestions or ideas.
First, some setup: We have about 25 W2 employees, and another 12 parttime to fulltime independent contractors doing work on a project basis. Of that total, we have 12 people in California, and the rest are in the DC area (DC/MD/VA). Everyone has different needs/wants: Some have families, some have their own personal healthcare at good rates and want to keep it, some have personal healthcare but want to move to a corporate plan because it would be cheaper.
So here's what we're looking for, ideally. Does this exist? Or a variation of this?
Offer employees a monthly bucket of money (start at $100 per employee per month and increase it as we grow) and let them choose how to spend it... health insurance, life insurance, disability insurance, dental, vision, etc. Have the employee pay 30% of the health insurance plan so they have skin in the game-- that encourages them to choose the HDHP plan. Also, put a certain amount of Health Savings Account (HSA) money in annually (maybe $500?) for each employee who chooses HDHP.
Since the HDHP is cheaper for the company, encouraging the employee to choose it by having them pay 30% of the health insurance premium and putting some cash towards the employee's HSA (that rolls over annually) while paying $100/mo for anything the employee wants to spend it on feels like it's strike the best balance for all parties involved.
And it would be ideal if the employee could put that $100/month towards their own, or their spouse's healthcare costs -- i.e., they don't have to go with our plans if they didn't want to, but could put that money towards the healthcare they're already buying (pre-tax, if possible).
(Thanks, by the way, to Michael T. for suggesting this approach -- I won't post his full name unless he's OK with me doing so)
Anyone know if this can be done? Any suggestions about alternate approaches that have worked well for others?
We're still wrestling with this. One of our employees has this on her to-do list and is spending time every day evaluating options. Here's a note I just sent her about using an HSA -- does anyone have any experience just doing an HSA and not actually getting full-on health insurance until the company gets a bit bigger?
"Find out more about HSA's pre-tax. Can we as a company choose not to do healthcare yet, but instead pay $100 per employee pre-tax into an account that the employee can use. Find out what restrictions there are on HSA... is it any health plan that can be paid towards? Can it go towards glasses? Dental? What about long-term disability? 401k? Prescriptions? etc. Find out from our banks if that can be done through them, and then also talk to the brokers about doing it through them."
Jed, thanks for your thoughts. You have a great reputation as an expert in the space, so I appreciate you taking the time to contribute. Since we're a small company, $100/mo is the best we can do now, but our goal is to increase that over time. I understand your point about costs being high for the employee with only a $100 contribution.
Question for you: Is it possible to provide an employee with pre-tax money (i.e., the $100/mo) and have *them* decide how to spend it? I.e., maybe they spend it on their personal insurance plan. Is that possible, without us actually providing health insurance per se? I.e., my thought is, what if as a start we just provide pre-tax money to the employee for them to use on any health-related costs as they see fit. (They could use it for health, vision, dental, etc.)
I guess I'm wondering if such a thing exists as a "pay money pre-tax" plan for health-related items.
The other potential issue is Health Insurance carriers require certain % participation to establish a group plan. Typically this is 75% of eligible employees. Employees enrolled in a spouse's plan do not count negatively towards participation; however, employees choosing not to enroll because they are enrolled in an individual plan can present a problem in terms of meeting participation. In general, employers that do contribute a larger portion of the employee only cost do not have issues meeting participation.
I VERY much agree with your ideas on having employees making a contribution so they have skin in the game and I am also a big fan of HDHP with HSAs. Of the over the 300+ VC backed companies our firm consults a very high percentage offer HSA qualified plans, and I have been a proponent of them since their inception in 2004.
Thank you also for sharing what nirvana would be for you, and I agree health insurance can seem to be a complicated mess because it really is . There are elements of your ideal situation that can be accomplished, unfortunately health insurance specifically and benefits in general are quite costly. For employers with less than 50 employees the rates are based on an employee's age in increments of 10 years, i.e 20s, 30s, etc. Premiums go up as individuals get older. Premiums for an HSA eligible PPO plan for an employee in their 20s with a $3000 individual deductible are in excess of $200 per month (this is pretty much the least costly situation an employee can be enrolled). The costs increase pretty significantly for employees in higher age brackets and MUCH higher for employees enrolling with dependants. The biggest obstacle for the nirvana situation would be the $100 per month employer contribution as employees could be paying anywhere from 55% to 90% of the total medical cost and this does not include an employer HSA contribution, dental, vision, life insurance, disability...
Bobby thanks for the heads up. I'll definitely look for that article. if you come across it, please let me know.
Amazingly, this seems to be very hard to do. One would think there would already be a plan for an approach like this.
Elizabeth, great to see we're not the only ones thinking this way. It's just crazy that it's not easy to do what we want. I'll definitely give you a call to discuss in more detail.
Dan, I feel your pain my friend! We go through this every year. Yes, this option exists, and it's what we do, but it requires a lot of "strategic thinking" on the part of the company, since I've not yet met a broker who comes to us with the concept neatly tied up in a bow. My broker says every year how "creative" we are in offering options. Don't get me wrong - it's a lot more work for the broker too, but if you want, I'm happy to walk you through our thinking and how we got here. We have a $$ amount we allocate per employee per year, which if they are single, and don't need fancy programs, they can pocket the money in an HSA to grow tax free! If they have a family to cover, it can help offset those premiums. Drop me a line it you want, and good luck...Elizabeth
I have a very specific way I compensate employees, which I'd like to share. I've found that this method does a great job of aligning an employee's interests with the company's, which is a "nirvana" of sorts considering how misaligned an employees interests can often be with a company's.
I'm going to give you an example based on hourly pay, but this can just as easily be applied to annual salaries.
So let's say that I'm interviewing someone who wants to make $20/hour (roughly equivalent to $40,000/year).
First, I'll explain to them that one of my main goals is to align their interests with the interests of the company, and to do that I have a somewhat unconventional way of compensating employees.
Then, I ask them to tell me what percentage of their compensation they're willing to make "performance based." (Don't call it a "bonus" because it's not - this is different.) Let's say that a potential employee is willing to make $5/hr performance based, and wants the other $15/hr to be fixed (obviously the more an employee is willing to make performance based, the better it is for the company, and ultimately, the employee).
PF is Provident Fund is a part of your salary, which is deducted every month and deposited on your behalf. If you work in a private firm then the company pays the same amount as it is deducted from your account and when you leave the firm you can apply and withdraw the amount saved. It's actually your personal saving of your earnings. If you are in government service then you will get the lump sum when you retire
.As per new rules, it is calculated along with other allowance like conveyance and medical which are common to all the employees.
How to Calculate PF?
First you have to calculate the Basic Salary which is approximately 50% of the CTC. 12% of Employee Share towards PF 8.33% of Employee Share as Family Pension Funds 3.67% of Employer Share for EPF

Wine Review
Oh my goodness, is this stuff good! It tastes like a top-grade cognac-cured cigar, with burning fruity pipe tobacco deep in your throat, while sharp dried currents and soft black raisins tickle your tongue. Pepper, sherry, and dark fruits intertwine, but it's the persistent half-bitter tobacco-smoke heat that thrills. And underneath it all rich oaky tones blend seamlessly into the tobacco. This is decidedly gentlemen's club whisky, to be sipped from a snifter while seated in a brass-tacked over-stuffed leather wingback reading Foreign Affairs, The New Yorker, Watch World, or the like.

Topic: Star Era / "Trap" in Diamond Prices
First, let me start off by saying that I am a free to play player, I only clicked the purchase option out of curiosity, and I'm not here to complain about how expensive diamonds are. What I am here to complain about is a potential trap a purchaser might fall into, which is assuming that buying in bulk will get you a better deal.
When I first looked at the pricing on diamonds, two things caught my eye. At the bottom of the table, a minimum purchase size of 440 diamonds for 50 kreds, and a "best value!" of 50,900 diamonds for 5750 kreds at the top. I instantly wondered if that was actually a better value, so I did the math, and found that it was just barely better. Since I had started doing numbers, I decided I might as well do the numbers for everything else too. These are my results.
50,900 for 5750 = 8.85 diamonds per kred
9,500 for 1150 = 8.26 diamonds per kred
4,700 for 565 = 8.32 diamonds per kred
1,850 for 225 = 8.22 diamonds per kred
900 for 110 = 8.18 diamonds per kred
440 for 50 = 8.80 diamonds per kred
The consequence of that is that the "Best Value!" advertised actually is the best value, but the second best value is actually achieved (and by a fair margin) by buying in the smallest increments, not by buying in bulk.
So for anyone looking to buy diamonds, if you're spending less than 5750 kreds at a time, don't think that you will get a bulk discount. Buying in units of 50 kreds will get you the most diamonds per kred.

Britni will be recognized this month by the state of
Michigan for being a rising female force in the industry. She has had the opportunity to go to
the National Restaurant Show in Chicago and work with celeb chefs like Guy
Fieri and Michael Symon from the Food Network. She is also one of the top-12 nontraditional students in
Michigan. This morning alone, she
was at school by 4:30 in the morning to plan for the upcoming governor's
dinner. Talk about dedication!
Now, Britni is opening a completely sustainable restaurant
in her hometown and is working with local restaurants to develop menus that use
locally grown products. Here's
what she had to say about her culinary experience and awesome green goals.
Girls' Life: Did you always know you wanted to be a chef?
Britni Birt: I did for a long time, most of my life. I've had a lot of family experience and
it runs in the family. I first got involved when I was younger, helping my aunt
and uncle, who are both chefs. I learned
to love it.
GL: What is your favorite food?
Britni: Mashed potatoes.
GL: Can you tell me about how you're trying to
change the Michigan food industry?
Britni: It's with sustainability, which is one of the main concepts
in our industry right now. We hope
to represent direct farm-to-table where you know where your food is coming from
and it doesn't have to go through processing and as much pesticides and usage.
GL: How are you going about this?
Britni: I'm involved in developing a restaurant downtown. We're in the makings of it, where
students found an organization to get us out there in the industry. We're working on getting an upholding
green sustainable restaurant, using all the resources we can from different
industries. And, I'm involved
Sustainable Future Building with our architecture class, where we work with
them and represent the culinary side of it.
GL: Was there anything that caused you to get
involved in sustainability instead of just cooking?
Britni: ProStart developed Tomorrow's Workforce, which gets us out
in the industry and gives us a sense of what it's like to actually be out there
and live the lifestyle as well as [provide us with] the life changing
opportunities students get to have with the industry leaders that we work
with. ProStart gives students a
sense of purpose which makes us more passionate about our futures because we
know what it's like and we already know so much that we can't give up on what
we've wanted to do.
GL: What is the thought process behind
developing a menu?
Britni: [We meet] with the owners of different restaurants to get an
idea of what they do [on a daily basis], and have a demo kitchen that works
with sustainability and local Michigan products. We actually have ten acres [reserved] for us that represent
our kitchen and the different crops and animals we use in the industry.
Right now, we're planning the upcoming Governor's dinner. We're [making] food for 800 people and
it's going to be pretty high-end, pretty gourmet. It's definitely an experience we never thought we'd have at
a high school level.
GL: What is the toughest part about what you're
trying to do?
Britni: Multitasking has definitely been a tremendous part of
it. You pretty much have to be
ready to do everything at once and get it all done at the same time.
GL: Do you have any advice for girls interested
in similar careers?
Britni: Make sure you stay strong. Don't give up your dreams and hopes for going further and
make sure you pursue your goals.
There are going to be people who are always better than you and you need
to show that you can be just as good as them.

The Oktibbeha County School District Board welcomed the districtŌĆÖs new assistant superintendent, former Starkville High School principal Kathi Wilson, at its monthly meeting Monday.
James Covington, OCSD superintendent, said Wilson will replace retiring OCSD assistant superintendent Jerome Smith. Curtis Snell, OCSD board chair, said he welcomes Wilson with open arms.
ŌĆ£Whatever we can do to make your job more successful ... weŌĆÖll do everything in our power to make it happen,ŌĆØ Snell said. ŌĆ£We take very child seriously. This probably may be rough sometimes. It gets that way around here. We want you to know we appreciate you coming.ŌĆØ
Wilson said she was grateful and excited for the opportunity to work with OCSD. She said she was also honored to replace Smith.
ŌĆ£First of all, heŌĆÖs legendary,ŌĆØ Wilson said. ŌĆ£What I hope to do is improve upon (SmithŌĆÖs legacy). IŌĆÖm going to put myself out on a limb and say this time next year, we should be a successful school district. IŌĆÖm just looking forward to making gains and ensuring that children know what it is theyŌĆÖre supposed to know and they can do what it is theyŌĆÖre supposed to do.ŌĆØ
Personnel who believe education can level the playing field for students are the key to school district improvement, Wilson said. When she was SHSŌĆÖs principal, she said her personnel had this attitude, and she believes OCSDŌĆÖs personnel have it, too.
ŌĆ£Mr. Covington is very visionary,ŌĆØ Wilson said. ŌĆ£Everyone IŌĆÖve met, including board members and the school board attorney, it seems as though we all have the same vision. We all want to be labeled as successful.ŌĆØ
After leaving SHS but before becoming OCSD assistant superintendent, Wilson was assistant superintendent for the Holmes County School District. For most of her tenure at HCSD, Wilson said she commuted 90 miles to Holmes County from Oktibbeha County. Having a job closer to home was a key reason she applied for the OCSD job, she said.
ŌĆ£I moved here seven years ago, so itŌĆÖs kind of like home now,ŌĆØ Wilson said. ŌĆ£I have some parents of former students (from SHS) who have come out to show their support (at this OCSD meeting). That means the world to me.ŌĆØ
The supporters Wilson spoke of were Everett Kennard and his family. Kennard said he was grateful to the board for welcoming Wilson back into the community, because his family had a very good experience with her as SHSŌĆÖs principal.
ŌĆ£Anytime we had a problem or a question, she was always willing to hear from us and very fair,ŌĆØ Kennard said. ŌĆ£She had a very positive effect on our son, Cooper Kennard, whoŌĆÖs about to be a junior at the University of Alabama.ŌĆØ
In other matters, the board unanimously approved a proposal from Covington to add gray to the OCSD-sanctioned list of school uniform colors. The proposal makes the color available for all OCSD uniforms, Covington said, but the request came from Oktibbeha CountyŌĆÖs west side.
ŌĆ£(Gray is) one of their school colors over there,ŌĆØ Covington said. ŌĆ£Everyone is wearing the same colors, but that blue color (students can already wear) is one of the school colors on the east side. East (Oktibbeha students are) wearing both of their colors. (West Oktibbeha students) want to wear their colors too.ŌĆØ
Snell said he had no problem with the change, but he was concerned about potential for new changes to the policy every year. He said he also wants to investigate the frequency of dress code violations.
ŌĆ£We need to look at this dress-down day,ŌĆÖŌĆØ Snell said. ŌĆ£WeŌĆÖre still in school on Friday, and these dress-down days are causing problems.ŌĆØ
