- Thank you Frank and Shanel for my incredibly beautiful art deco wedding band. I can't thank you enough for your helpfulness and kindness. The ring itself is stunning - and what an amazing job you've done with re-sizing it. No-one can spot the new join! Thank you also for sending it all the way to Australia, and for your continuous contact when I was deciding on a ring. The best online shopping experience I have had BY FAR. Many, many thanks to you lovely people. Review by Nikki G. (Posted on 2/22/2012)
- I purchased a wonderful vintage engagement ring for my fiance from Frank and his excellent staff and this past Saturday, I presented it to my bride-to-be. I can't tell you how helpful Frank and his team were in my purchase decision and the ring was perfect too. Many thanks to them and a shameless self-promotion along with more information about my experience with Gesner are at: ericandmandee.com Review by Eric M. (Posted on 2/22/2012)
- I want to say that I am very appreciative of how you do business. In a world where you have to keep track of all your records so you can be prepared to fight for something that really should be a cut and dry customer service issue, your company has been a breath of fresh air. My wife is so impressed that she says the next piece she buys will be from you! Review by Randy F. (Posted on 2/22/2012)

To the entire Gesner team,
I want to extend a very sincere thank you for all that you have done on my behalf. My diamond and ruby eternity ring is exquisite, made even more so by Valerie and Sherrie's enthusiasm, above and beyond customer service, attention to detail and patience as I worked my way through the myriad of decisions. Your jeweler has achieved a masterful level of his art and it showed stunningly in his work. I thank you also for the thorough appraisal. Review by Valerie J. (Posted on 6/12/2012)
- I have been beyond impressed with the wonderful buying experiences I've had with Gesner Estate Jewelry! When I recently purchased a ring from them, I was disappointed to find that the gorgeous ring just looked too big on my small hand. They were wonderful about the return and went above and beyond to help me find a 1 carat art deco that would look more appropriate. I am beyond thrilled with the beautiful ring they ended up helping me find. It is PERFECT. I can't stop staring at it! They promptly refunded the difference between the two rings and had the new one on my finger in two days. I also recently had another ring I purchased from them re-sized. Not only do you get their wonderful customer service, you also get free ring sizing as long as you own the ring! For all of these reasons, I will always shop at Gesner first when in the market for a new piece. Thank you! Review by Michelle P. (Posted on 1/16/2014)
- The sales staff was extremely helpful in helping me purchase the ideal diamond engagement ring. My soon to be wife is elated! Review by Anthony Z. (Posted on 2/22/2012)
- Excellent quality, great value, simply honest and wonderful customer service. We have made several purchases and been delighted with each one. Review by David (Posted on 12/16/2012)
- This was the first time I ever bought anything from Gesner. The ring exceeded my expectations. I never thought about buying estate jewelry, now that's all I'm going to buy, you just can't beat the value, needless to say I'm a very satisfied customer. Review by Cary & Deb (Posted on 2/22/2012)

2005 Staff Awards Presented
Posted by Deborah.Walker on Friday April 15, 2005
This year's Staff Merit Award for more than ten years of service to Nyack College was presented to David Jennings, who began his career at Nyack as Purchasing/Project Coordinator in 1990. He was Director of Campus Services from 1991-1993, and after three years of service at New Life Fellowship Church in Elmhurst, Queens, he returned to Nyack. Jennings served briefly at Nyack as Vice President for Advancement, and has held his current position of Vice President and Treasurer since 1998.
The Staff Merit Award for less than ten years of service was awarded to Marcos Colon, an alumnus of Nyack College. He came to Nyack in January of 1997 as a transfer student from John Jay College for Criminal Justice with the goal of earning a degree in Social Science, hoping to use it for pastoral ministry and counseling. In February of 1999, he returned to Nyack as an Admissions Counselor, and continues to serve here using his many gifts. The number of students he helped to apply, attend, and graduate from Nyack, is now in the hundreds.

Christina Milian's Reaction to the Hobbit Comments: "Oh My Gosh, Go to Carson Already! Go to Carson!" — Exclusive
A few weeks ago, The Voice's social media correspondent, Christina Milian shared an awkward, innuendo-filled moment with Team Blake's Terry McDermott. She asked the Scottish rocker if he was a Hobbit, and he responded that he was from the Shire and did, in fact, have some Hobbit in him.
Terry then turned the question on Christina, asking if she had some Hobbit in her.
"Not yet," she replied. Though the answer was seemingly innocent at the time, the sexual connotations were enough to send the Sprint Skybox queen into a blushing tizzy.
When Wetpaint Entertainment caught up with Christina on the red carpet after last night's live semi-finals, she talked about the repercussions of the incident — even two weeks after the fact.
Wetpaint Entertainment: You said a few weeks ago that you might perform at the finale. Is that going to happen?
Christina Milian: No, that's not happening now. I thought it was because the song I'm doing with these guys called the Stafford Brothers is supposed to come out within the next week, but it's not enough time to really set it up. I guess it's next season now. Time flies.
Have you lived down the Hobbit comment yet?
No, I haven't! It's so funny. I actually love that it happened. I had to watch it back the other day, and I was cracking up. I haven't lived it down. If you look at my Twitter mentions, it at least gets mentioned once a day, maybe twice — more than that, actually. Somebody always brings it up. I actually think that it was cool because a lot of the people that watch me sometimes don't get to really connect with me; it's more the questions and everything that's being asked. I think with that, it was one of those things that just happened on live TV. I was just like, "Hey!"
Did you realize in the moment?
Oh no. I totally did! I was like, "Oh my gosh, go to Carson already! Go to Carson!" Ahh, it's still on!
And then Carson backed you up.
Carson did, but it felt like a long 10 seconds.
Do you vote each week?
I vote! I definitely vote. I would definitely buy all four of the songs, which counts as a vote, and I'd probably give them each the same amount of clicks for voting. I actually mean it this time.
Have you been buying songs?
I bought one of Sylvia's. I'll be buying all four songs tonight. Cassadee put me on to a new song that I've never heard before tonight, and I also love "Wind Beneath My Wings." I'll definitely be buying that. That was a cult classic when I was a kid.
What are your thoughts on the Top 4? Who are you rooting for?
They are perfection. Honestly, they are all perfectly who they are. I'm so evenly in love with all of them; I really do think they are all awesome. When it comes to this season, and how we've stepped our game up talent wise, they are all so different. They are so perfect when it comes to what America wants to hear and wants to see. I don't know who is going to get in the Top 3. All of them hit me over the head tonight.
What do you think of Christina and Terry's Hobbit banter? Hilarious or inappropriate? Weigh in below!

National Archives and Records Administration--Damage to Revolving Fund Records Caused by Building Failure
B-308822: May 2, 2007
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
(202) 512-2853
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
The Federal Property and Administrative Services Act of 1949, as amended, governs the interagency occupancy agreement between the General Services Administration (GSA) and the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) for the Washington National Records Center building. Consistent with the Act and our past decisions involving GSA and the Federal Buildings Fund, we find that the interdepartmental waiver rule applies and GSA is not required to reimburse NARA for property damage. 57 Comp. Gen. 130 (1977). Operating reserves in NARA's records center revolving fund are available to cover the costs of repairing water damage to records that NARA stores for its federal agency customers caused by a building failure.

Last week, Gran Turismo fans might have been concerned by a change in an online retailer's product listing for the series' PlayStation 3 debut. Instead of the winter 2006 date Sony had originally pegged for the title, GameStop was listing Gran Turismo HD as releasing December 1, 2007.
Sony today updated the game's Japanese Web site with some good news and some bad news for eager fans of the game. The good news is that a free demo version of Gran Turismo HD with 10 cars and two layouts of a single track will be available for download in Japan from the PlayStation store on December 24, 2006. The bad news is that the full version of the game has been canceled, as the Polyphony Digital team is switching its focus to the next PS3 installment of the series, Gran Turismo 5.
"The Gran Turismo series will change its core principles," Polyphony Digital head Kazunori Yamauchi said about the next installment in the series, which was not given any kind of release window. As for what direction Yamauchi is taking with the series, Sony has only said it "will be a fully realized Online Car Life Simulation."
Back in August, Yamauchi confirmed in an interview with Famitsu that development on the next PS3 version of Gran Turismo had begun. "We are working on a version of GT that supports the full PS3 specification," he told the magazine.
Gran Turismo HD may not be the last downloadable demo edition of the popular racing sim. The Japanese Gran Turismo site says that Sony might be able to offer more "concept" versions of the series before the full release of Gran Turismo 5 arrives. However, any such editions would be included in the final retail release of Gran Turismo 5.
While the free downloadable demo of Gran Turismo HD was confirmed for Japan, it's currently unclear if it will make its way to the US. When asked for a status update on the game's domestic fate, a Sony rep said only, "As of today, there are no official announcements for a North American release of GT HD."

If Colombia is to avoid slower growth it must boost domestic investment to offset a weakening external environment, says its finance minister Mauricio Cárdenas
However, having witnessed, for example, the gridlock in
Washington in October, I am more convinced than ever that we

Tips for using GFFPix
But you might get a better result if you spend a bit of time with your picture before submitting it. When using the system there are a few points you can observe.
The short version
» Scale your image to 1024 pixels on the longest side and upload it.
» We will assess the picture before we publish it, so it might last a little while before it is publicly accessible.
» We will let you know through email when the picture goes online.
» Give the same email-address every time you upload, and the system will automatically create a gallery with your pictures.
...and the slightly longer version...
Set the size to 1024 pixels on the longest side
Size matters
First of all we recommend that you scale your picture so that it is 1024 pixels on the longest side. Your favourite picture-editing program will have a facility where you can set the pixel size of an image. Set the height to 1024 on portrait (vertical) pictures and the width to 1024 on landscape (horizontal) pictures. Don't mind the size of the short side. The picture will usually scale proportionally and the actual number of pixels on the short side will not matter. Same thing goes for the number of dots per inch (DPI). Leave this number where it is. It has no influence on the final result on the web.
The 1024 pixels correspond with the size of the largest copy of your picture on GFFPix. We create four copies of you images: one thumbprint with a long side of 200 pixels, one medium size picture with 600 pixels and one with the aforementioned 1024 pixels on the long side. The last copy is a small version for the front page of GFF, where we currently display the latest upload.
If you have no clue to what all this is about, just try uploading the image in whatever size you have.
Our system then tries to create the copies we need automatically.
We do set a size limit at 2400 pixels, so some files right out of the camera may be too big.
If your picture is larger than 1024 pixels the system will scale it, sharpen it and save it again. This encompasses a potential loss of quality since the image-manipulating program on our server is configured to do this in one particular way no matter what type of picture you upload. Your image-editing program is probably a lot better at the task, so if you scale and prepare the picture yourself, the final result is almost sure to be better in the end. We will not do anything to the image if it has the right size from the start.
You can consider sharpening the picture after scaling it. Most programs have a sharpening filter - sometimes confusingly referred to as an unsharp mask. But use these filters with caution because they can introduce some really horrendous artefacts into the picture. We do recommend sharpening, but just be gentle...
When you save your final picture as a jpg-file, you might have the option to decide how much the program will compress the image. The picture is compressed to ensure the best possible relation between file size and image quality.
Set this to a suitably high quality and don't worry too much about the file size. If your program has a quality lever ranging from 0 to 100%, select about 60-80% and inspect the final picture for quality. Some pictures can take a higher compression than others.
Some camaras and some image programs encode the digital image with information about the picture - referred to as EXIF-information. GFFPix is able to read out this information and display it, so if your picture is EXIF-encoded, other users will be able to see a bit of technical information about it. Many photographers like to see such information, so if your software allows embedding EXIF-info, please leave the information in there. If this is pure nonsense to you, just do as you always do, and don't worry about it.
Place the final jpg-file somewhere where you can easily locate it again and go to the GFFPix upload page. When the system asks you to upload a picture, click the Browse button and select the picture you just saved. Click the Continue button on our page, and wait for the file to transfer.
Transfer time depends on the size of your file and connection speed. It will usually just take a few seconds, but can last a lot longer on slow Internet-connections. Don't press the Continue button again. When the process is finished, you will be transferred to the next page.
After the upload you will see a thumbprint of your picture below a small form. Enter the information about the picture in the form: a short description, the location of the picture, and up to three keywords.
You can be as detailed as you please with both description and location, but please limit the keywords to single words if possible, just generally describing the content of the picture. Short words like fish, flies, river, fight, cabin, view, waves etc. are great. We currently don't use the keywords, but plan to utilize them later on when we have enough pictures... and keywords.
Click Continue when you're done.
As the number of pictures has increased we have felt the need to have some kind of organisation other than the chronological and the photographers. For this purpose we have created some categories, and we urge you to select the appropriate categories for your picture. You can select several if you want - even none, in none are suitable, but generally it should be possible to check a couple of categories.
Disable voting
If you do not want people to be able to vote on your image, feel free to tick the No voting checkbox. This will disable the voting facility and make the system omit the picture from all hitlists. The choice can be made individually for each picture and will not affect your average rating on the rest of your pictures
Finally we need some information about you. We want a name and an email-address.
The name is just for convenience, while the email-address is your unique identification in the system. We use the email to correspond with you, but also to keep track of your pictures and create the gallery with only your pictures. You will have to give us a valid email-address in order to use the system.
Next time you upload a picture, the system will have recorded your personal information as a cookie on your computer and the form will already be filled out with your name and email.
Once you are done, the picture and your information has been stored on our server. We will send you a confirmation through email that the picture is registered, and soon after that have a look at your upload. If it complies with our rules and standards, we will publish the picture and email you the address, so that you can assess the result yourself.
If your photo for some reason is not suitable for publication, we will also email you, and explain our reasons for not accepting the picture.
Your own gallery
If you upload more than one picture under the same email-address, you can create your own fly-fishing gallery. You will be able to show others your pictures, and visitors on GFF will be able to see yours as well as other contributor's images in GFFPix.
As it is right now there are no bounds or limits apart from these rules, so feel free to upload as many images as you wish. Things may change later, but for now the scene is yours.

Edexcel regional director: "Education is the key to business development"
August 16, 2010 1:47 by Rasha Reslan
Dubai, UAE, 12th August, 2010: An academic expert has urged the MENA business sector to support and promote innovation in the workplace as part of corporate culture.
Mark Andrews, MENA Regional Director of Edexcel, a leading provider of internationally recognised academic and professional qualifications, acknowledged that MENA-based companies have shown significant progress in the field by investing in the enhancement of their staff's skills as part of a region-wide drive to spread a culture of innovation.
Andrews pointed out that companies in the Middle East have, in recent years, adopted radical changes in running their businesses by integrating information technology into almost every aspect of business, providing customers with better services and connecting and empowering employees.
These moves have undoubtedly supported the organisations in their bid to boost their business and expand their footprints across global markets.
Andrews indicated that there exists an interactive relationship between innovation and creation of business opportunities and that education plays a key role in providing individuals with the skills to develop innovative ideas that help companies expand.
The MENA market is experiencing an upsurge in the training middle and senior management or private companies and across all levels in government departments. According to Andrews, this proves that the region as a whole is committed to setting a foundation for strong, sustainable growth and highlights the importance of governments and private companies sharing expertise.
Edexcel's vocational qualifications provide a practical, real-world approach to learning alongside a theoretical background. They are designed both to replicate the professional working environment and provide learners with the skills, knowledge and behaviors they need to succeed in an increasingly competitive global market.
Edexcel, the leading UK-based awarding body, is part of Pearson, the world's largest education services providers. It offers academic and professional qualifications and testing to thousands of schools, colleges, employers and other places of learning globally, and has over 4 million learners enrolled on its highly regarded courses in more than 85 countries annually.
In the UAE, Edexcel works with many private institutions as well as government-funded training providers responsible for educating the local population, which include the National Institute for Vocational Education, the Institute for Vocational Development and the Sharjah Institute of Technology.
Various opportunities for progression to higher education are available for Edexcel's BTEC HND holders in North America, Europe, Asia, Africa, the Middle East and Australasia and 85 professional organisations such as the Chartered Institute of Marketing and Association of Chartered Certified Accountants grant exemption for their own professional qualifications for holders of the relevant BTEC qualifications provided by Edexcel.

© Copyright 2015 Clayton News Daily
By Jason A. email@example.com A funeral service will be held Thursday for a man who died over the weekend after reportedly leading state authorities on a lengthy, high-speed chase that ended in a crash. John Frederick Freeman, Jr., 44, of McDonough, died Sunday. The collision that led to Freeman's death took place at approximately 9:15 p.m., according Georgia State Patrol Lt. Paul Cosper. "Troopers were on Interstate 75 conducting concentrated patrols," said Cosper. "They observed a motorcycle traveling at a high rate of speed. They tried to initiate a traffic stop, but [Freeman] fled." According to the lieutenant, the cyclist drove through downtown Atlanta, and onto Interstate 85. "Old National Highway and I-85 is where he went over the wall," said Cosper. "The motorcycle stayed in the southbound lanes." Freeman was struck and killed by a Ford Expedition, which was traveling northbound on the highway, Cosper continued. No other injuries were reported as a result of the crash, police said. Cosper said the GSP's Special Collision Reconstruction Team is investigating the incident, and added that he does not expect any charges to be filed against the driver of the Expedition. According to his obituary, Freeman had been employed by the Ford Motor Company for 19 years, and was a member of the Church In The Now in Conyers. Survivors include his wife, Stephanie Freeman, of McDonough; daughters, Madison Freeman, of McDonough and Rachel Freeman, of Aliquippa, Pa.; mother, Carol Freeman, of Atlanta; father and step-mother, John and Alice Freeman, of Aliquippa; sisters, Rebecca Freeman, of Aliquippa, and Rachel Freeman, of Wilmington, N.C.; and brother, Daniel Freeman, of Los Angeles, Calif. Funeral services will be held Thursday, Sept. 10, at 11 a.m., in the chapel of Haisten Funeral Home in McDonough. -- See obituary on page 3.

Prosecutor's Office to Indict Appellate Court Chair
Veselin Pengezov, who heads the Sofia Appellate Court, is to be indicted by Sofia's Military District Prosecutor's Office on Monday.
Pengezov was earlier summoned to Bulgaria's State Agency for National Security (DANS), where he is to appear later during the day, Dariknews.bg has reported.
He is to be charged with EU funds misuse, but has recently insisted that the trial against him will be a political one and is related to the upcoming vote for a new Sofia Appellate Court chair.
In his words, reports of investigations into his deeds emerged when it became clear he would seek a second term in office.
Bulgaria's Chief Prosecutor Sotir Tsatsarov however denied that the probe against Pengezov was of political nature.
Last week, it was revealed that an investigation had been in place since 2010 and was related to a EU-funded project involving the introduction of an new information system in military courts, which was carried out under the operational program Administrative Capacity. The probe was launched by the EU funds fraud department with the Sofia's City Prosecutor's office, but the case was later redirected to the military prosecution, as Pengezov was in the army in 2010.
Judicial sources cited by Dariknews suggest the investigation was into "manipulated" public procurement related to the project, document fraud.
Petko Petrov, who chairs the Military Appellate Court, will be indicted on the same charge as Pengezov. He was also tipped to have a second term, but will now be prevented from running.

Probability Approximations Via the Poisson Clumping Heuristic (Applied Mathematical Sciences)
Probability Approximations Via the Poisson Clumping Heuristic (Applied Mathematical Sciences)
Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH Co. K | 1989-12-31 | ISBN: 3540968997 | 269 pages | File type: PDF | 1 mb
I did my Ph.D. dissertation on extreme value theory for stationary stochastic processes. My work got me interested in a parameter called the extremal index and a colleague, Tai Hsing once showed me how the extremal index was related to the frequency with which a stochastic process crosses a high or low level. An extremal index less than one corresponds to clumping and the point process defined by the high level crossings is approximately Poisson. Hsing was a student of Leadbetter. Hsing and Leadbetter exploited this idea in their publications and Leadbetter explains some of it in his 1983 book with Lindgren and Rootzen. I eventually published a paper with Tai Hsing and Bill McCormick where we further investigated properties of the extremal index and Tai contributed using this "Poisson Clumping Heuristic" that Aldous writes about in this monograph.
My other connections to topics in the book include my exposure to geometric probability from Herb Solomon as a graduate student at Stanford. Also I knew Charles Stein while I was a Stanford student and I learned to appreciate the power of a tool called "Stein's method" from lectures by Diaconis. A student of Stein's by the name of Chen had gotten a Ph.D. in statstics at Stanford utilizing the Stein method.

Ali top 7% overall
I have 4 apps on Google Play and I have even lectured on Android Development in Sydney.
I have frequently been asked in team bulding exercises to introduce myself in various ways. One of my favorite ways is:
Q. What is your name and if you could be any animal which one would it be and why?
A: Ali Muzaffar & Bear, without a doubt. It's a toss up between a Grizzly, or Kodiak bear.
My reasons are:
They are smart.
They are strong.
They look slow and sluggish but they aren't (their top speed is about 30KM/Hour).
They look like a big cuddly push over but are deadly.
They are mostly solitary (aren't most software developers).
They gain and lose a lot of weight every year.
They are one of the most adaptable species in the world.

Washington International Flight AcademyRead MoreFor more than 20 years, the FAA-certified flight instructors at Washington International Flight Academy have safely guided pupils skyward and imbued them with the skills necessary for numerous licenses and certifications. Under an instructor's watchful eye, guests control a Cessna 172 on a 30-minute airborne trek during discovery flights, which can later be applied toward courses for a private or commercial pilot's license with optional multiengine rating. A commercial pilot's license qualifies more seasoned flyers for instructor certification, where they learn how to teach essentials, including how to tell the difference between a landing airplane and a diving roc. Along with in-depth courses, Washington International Flight Academy accommodates patrons with rentals of its massive fleet, charts and piloting supplies from its fully stocked shop, and lodging for out-of-state students.7940 Airpark Rd.Gaithersburg, MD US
Atlantic EdgeRead MoreAtlantic Edge Dive Center's dive-masters might technically be classified as land mammals, but they spend enough time under water to earn the honorary title of amphibian. They spend days and nights teaching and leading dives, whether they're arming curious beginners with basic skills in one of their on-site swimming pools, or conducting open water certification tests off the coast. They go beyond simply certifying students for adventure: they provide rescue diving, dive master, and instructor training as well. Their passion for the aquatic pastime draws them to all kinds of watery outposts. They lead excursions to the Florida keys to help rehabilitate the coral reefs surrounding the islands, and dive into the relatively calm waters of the tanks in the Baltimore National Aquarium, where they have a chance to see 53 species of fish feed in the secret underwater cafeteria.520 N Frederick AveGaithersburg, MD US

Wielding eco-friendly supplies upon request, cleaners infiltrate abodes to de-filth furniture and decorative trinkets, vacuum and mop grunge clinging to carpets and floors, and snag cobwebs from corners. Staffers lavish extra attention on bathrooms, bombarding tubs and toilets with purifying products before buffing sinks and mirrors so they gleam brighter than a freshly waxed diamond ring. Dust scuttles from kitchen counters while dirt destroyers haul cloths across stoves, sinks, appliance exteriors, and microwave interiors.8515 Ziggy LaneGaithersburg, MD US

County Board accepts reviews on GIS and Coordinator positions
Fri, Jul 11th, 2003
Posted in Features
Posted in Features
In 2000, the board enlisted the services of Bjorklund Compensation Consulting of Eden Prairie, Minnesota, a firm that reviews county job descriptions, their ongoing changes, and current duties. The firm makes recommendations on classifications that effect the grade and step each individual employee is placed at.
On May 22, 2003, Policy Coordinator Karen Brown notified the board of the final two positions to be evaluated, which would complete the first reviewals since the program was implemented. Those two positions were Appraiser in the Assessor�s office and Brown�s own Coordinator position. A position description questionnaire was completed by the county on both titles. The evaluation system is broken down into four categories: know-how, accountability, problem-solving, and working conditions. Dave Kiehne, whose Appraiser status was reviewed, is at Grade 7 with a request that the position be upgraded to Grade 9. The reason for this is that the Appraiser position now requires competency using the Geographic Information System (GIS) program that was implemented in the county approximately two years ago. Kiehne is responsible for keeping land parcels updated as to location and ownership. The program allows for digital recordings of parcels both in the rural area and the towns. This is considerably faster and more accurate as one can pull up parcels on a screen and make changes rather than tracking down paper records of the property. The Zoning Department is constantly making use of the program when Conditional Use Permits are requested. The GIS program will also be a critical player when the county eventually upgrades its 911 system. Targeting a call and responding to it will be speeded up immensely. Approximately half the counties in Minnesota have the program. Bjorkland�s conclusion regarding the Appraiser�s position surprised the board as the report came back with the current Grade 7 status as before. The report stated that it was their opinion that the additional duties associated with GIS maintenance are changes brought on by the result of new technologies associated with the Appraiser�s work. Commissioner Dahl was concerned about compensating an employee when they step forward to take on additional work. He also expressed the need for the county to remain focused on the future of the 911 system in which the GIS system is critical. There was discussion over the possible need to create a new job description, which would center on the GIS position. Had enough information been submitted for the evaluation? Should the board come to their own conclusions? If the board veered from the recommendation, it could possibly set precedence in how future position reviews are handled. After all, noted board members, that�s why BCC had been hired in the first place - to make recommendations as a neutral party. With that, the recommendation leaving the position at a Grade 7 standing was upheld. The Policy Coordinator�s position was up next for discussion. Bjorkland stated that additional budget responsibility and additional management responsibility for Information Systems, and the "broad authority to deal with budgetary and county-wide administrative-business related functions" of the county warranted a jump to the Grade 16 level, up from Grade 15. Because of budget restraints, Brown suggested going with a Grade 15 Step 4, and then moving on to the Grade 16 later. Commissioner Chuck Amunrud spoke against deviating from Bjorkland�s recommendation. With very little discussion, the Grade 16 level was accepted by the board. Job Opportunity Building Zone Mark Thein, Economic Development Authority, outlined a resolution, which would show the county�s intent to support a Job Opportunity Building Zone application to the Department of Employment and Economic Development. The intent of the zone is to provide tax breaks to encourage expansion and new business growth in the state. Some of the tax exemptions provided include corporate franchise tax, income tax for operators or investors, sales tax on business purchases, capital gains tax, property tax, employment tax credit for high paying jobs, and other benefits detailed by the Department of Revenue. Qualified businesses include those in the zone at the time of designation, business expansions to the zone, business startups, and business relocations from other states, business relocations from Minnesota if employment is increased by 20% within first year. Commissioner Duane Bakke felt the state should have moved on this sooner as the state recently lost two potential processing plants that moved to Missouri and South Dakato where tax incentives were offered. Bakke also showed some caution as to those individuals perhaps getting too much of a tax break through loopholes, which is always a possibility. Commissioner Amunrud was concerned about a business moving away from one area in MN to a "zone" area in the state. �Was there anything to be really gained as a whole?� he asked. Thein felt the movement would probably effect more of the border counties. The board approved the resolution.

The conclusion of the Little Fur quartet!When Little Fur loses touch with the flow of earth magic, she knows that she must regain it, whatever it takes. A visit to the prophetic Sett Owl makes it clear that Little Fur has to embark on the most dangerous of all her adventures and follow the dreams of a lemur. Accompanied by new companions including the lemur, a horde of lemmings, and a panther, Little Fur leaves the human city and sets out across the great salten sea. What Little Fur discovers about the past and the future on this most dangerous, yet most personal and rewarding journey, makes for an exciting and moving conclusion to this eco-fantasy quartet.Isobelle Carmody, one of Australia's most popular fantasy authors, continues to charm readers with Little Fur—a heroine who never ceases to surprise us with her determination and sensitivity.From the Trade Paperback edition.
