TAFT, Calif. — A 16-year-old student armed with a shotgun walked into a rural California high school on Thursday, shot one student and fired at others and missed before a teacher and another staff member talked him into surrendering, officials said.
The teen victim was in critical but stable condition, and the suspect, whose pockets were stuffed with ammunition, was still being interrogated, Kern County Sheriff Donny Youngblood said at a news conference Thursday evening.
The suspect used a shotgun that belonged to his brother and went to bed Wednesday night with a plan to shoot two fellow students, Youngblood said.
Surveillance video shows the alleged shooter trying to conceal the gun as he nervously entered Taft Union High School through a side entrance after school had started Thursday morning.
When the shots were fired, teacher Ryan Heber tried to get the more than two dozen students out a back door and engaged the shooter in conversation to distract him, Youngblood said. Campus supervisor Kim Lee Fields responded to a call of shots fired and also began talking to the teen.
"They talked him into putting that shotgun down. He in fact told the teacher, 'I don't want to shoot you,' and named the person that he wanted to shoot," Youngblood said.
"The heroics of these two people goes without saying. ... They could have just as easily ... tried to get out of the classroom and left students, and they didn't," the sheriff said. "They knew not to let him leave the classroom with that shotgun."
The shooter didn't show up for first period, then interrupted the class of 28 students.
Youngblood said the suspect alleges the two students he targeted had bullied him for more than a year, but the sheriff couldn't confirm the allegations.
"Certainly he believed that the two people he targeted had bullied him, in his mind. Whether that occurred or not we don't know yet," Youngblood said.
Youngblood did not release the student's disciplinary record, saying he didn't have it.
The shotgun is believed to belong to the boy's brother and was in the boy's home, Youngblood said.
The Sheriff's Department did not release the boy's name because he was a juvenile and had yet to be charged. But many students and community members said they knew the boy and said he was often teased, including Alex Patterson, 18, who went to Taft with the suspect before graduating last year.
Trish Montes, who lived next door to the suspect, said he was "a short guy" and "small" who was teased about his stature by many, including the victim.
"Maybe people will learn not to bully people," Montes said. "I hate to be crappy about it, but that kid was bullying him."
Montes said her son had worked at the school and tutored the boy last year, sometimes walking with him between classes because he felt sorry for him.
"All I ever heard about him was good things from my son," Montes said. "He wasn't Mr. Popularity, but he was a smart kid. It's a shame. My kid said he was like a genius. It's a shame because he could have made something of himself."
The wounded student was flown to a hospital in Bakersfield and was listed in stable but critical condition Thursday evening. Officials said a female student was hospitalized with possible hearing damage because the shotgun was fired close to her ear, and another girl suffered minor injuries during the scramble to flee when she fell over a table.
Officials said there's usually an armed officer on campus, but the person wasn't there because he was snowed in. Taft police officers arrived within 60 seconds of first reports.

Frank Lloyd Wright's Hollyhock House at Barnsdall Park February 13, 2015
Los Angeles, CA, January, 22, 2015 – Mayor Eric Garcetti, Councilmember Mitch O'Farrell, the City of Los Angeles Department of Cultural Affairs (DCA), the Department of Recreation and Parks, Project Restore, Public Works – Bureau of Engineering, the Department of General Services, the Los Angeles Police Department, and the Barnsdall Art Park Foundation announce February 13, 2015 as the official reopening of Frank Lloyd Wright's famed Hollyhock House, an iconic architectural masterpiece in the heart of the vibrant, artistic, cultural, and recreational Barnsdall Art Park (http://www.barnsdall.org/visit/hollyhock-house/). To mark the occasion, Mayor Eric Garcetti and Councilmember Mitch O'Farrell will lead an Official Ribbon Cutting Ceremony with the project's collaborators at 4:00 p.m. at the Hollyhock House on February 13, 2015. Following this, for one night only, the City of Los Angeles and the Barnsdall Art Park Foundation will open Hollyhock House for self-guided tours for 24 hours, commencing at 4:00 p.m. on February 13 until 4:00 p.m. on February 14, 2015. Visitors are invited to enjoy the event and share with others via social media with the #WrightAtNight hashtag.
A significant part of Los Angeles' storied architectural history, Hollyhock House – a National Historic Landmark – was one of Frank Lloyd Wright's magnificent masterpieces marking his first foray into architecture in Los Angeles. Hollyhock House boasts a lyrical and poetic style of architecture "California Romanza," or "freedom to make one's own form," which complements LA's significance as a trendsetter in the arts and architecture space. Underscoring its importance as one of the world's architectural gems, Hollyhock House is now on the tentative list of the first modern architecture nominations from the United States to the United Nation's Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) World Heritage List.
"Frank Lloyd Wright's Hollyhock House is a crown jewel of Los Angeles architecture," said Mayor Garcetti. "Restoring this landmark to its original glory is a great example of how the city can preserve its unique history while providing Angelenos access to art in everyday places."
"The Hollyhock House at Barnsdall Art Park is a cultural and historical gem in the City of Los Angeles, and I am thrilled that this architectural masterpiece is restored and ready to reopen," said O'Farrell, chair of the city's Arts, Parks, Health, Aging and Los Angeles River Committee. "I want to thank my staff and the city departments who collaborated together and moved this project forward so that every Angeleno who visits the Hollyhock House can appreciate its beauty both inside and out."
The storied history of Hollyhock House begins with Aline Barnsdall, a Pennsylvanian oil heiress interested in producing theater in her own venue. Purchasing a 36-acre site in Hollywood known as Olive Hill in 1919, Barnsdall commissioned Frank Lloyd Wright to build a theater where she could produce avant-garde plays. Soon after, the project morphed into a performing arts complex that included her residence. Construction on the project began in 1919 and ended in 1921 when Barnsdall fired Wright, citing costs as the primary reason for the contract's termination. At the time, Frank Lloyd Wright was already an established architect, who was concurrently working on the Imperial Hotel in Tokyo, Japan.
A philanthropist, art collector, political radical, and single parent, Barnsdall deeded the land now known as Barnsdall Park and its Frank Lloyd Wright designed structures as a permanent home for the appreciation of art and architecture to the City of Los Angeles in 1927. In doing so, she provided an accessible arts center to the community that incorporated and preserved the famous Hollyhock House as a crucial component. Aline Barnsdall's pioneering vision gave birth to the California Modernism movement and helped grow the careers of notable architects including Wright, Schindler, and Neutra – all of whom were instrumentally involved in the project.
The house has served various purposes, including a fifteen-year run as the headquarters of the California Art Club beginning in 1927. After a major restoration by the City (1974 – 76) it became a public museum. It was among the first structures to be designated as a historic-cultural monument by the Los Angeles Cultural Heritage Commission in 1963. In 2007 it became a National Historic Landmark.
After many incarnations, Hollyhock House is reclaiming its former glory. Hollyhock House is the first house of Wright's second period and his first residence in Southern California. Named for Barnsdall's favorite flower, the Hollyhock is incorporated throughout the design scheme of the residence.
The recently completed restoration is an important historical revelation for first-time visitors and regulars alike. Visitors will be able to see and experience the house in much of its original splendor. Floors, windows, doors, decorative molding, and long-forgotten paint colors have been recreated with utmost attention to detail. The latest phase of renovation took place from 2008 though 2014, with a total of $4,359,000 spent on conservation efforts.
Hollyhock House is operated by the City of Los Angeles Department of Cultural Affairs (DCA).
DCA provides educational programming, conservation services, and individual and group tours of this historic site that offer a window into Aline Barnsdall's life and her artistic vision, in addition to her extraordinary partnership with one of the United States' greatest architects.
After it reopens on February 13, 2015, Hollyhock House will feature self-guided "Walk Wright In" tours on Thursdays through Sundays from 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. for a fee of $7 for adults, $3 for students and seniors with identification, and $3 for children under 12 when accompanied by a paying adult. Special arrangements may be made for docent-led tours, group tours, guided tours, and other engagements by calling 323.913.4031.

Success a Reality or a Dream

I want to be a Millionaire! Many people including myself, feel this way. We want the nice car, house and business. The freedom of making our own choices without answering to 'Mr. get my coffee'. Is this just a dream or can I make this a reality?
Don't miss understand me people, reaching this goal is no easy task. You need to put in the work to benefit from the perks. Hard work and education is key to any ones success. Unless you hit the Lotto and join the circle of Lucky Louie's. Funny, how growing up poor in my mind I was wealthy, but ran around partying and working for Mr. Coffee. Took me some time to realize I needed to stop my shenanigans if I wanted to be rich. Hey! Still thinking wealthy! Think I'm being cocky? No! Staying positive on my journey to success. Going back to my previous statement about working hard; it's my current situation. Working as a Hvac tech while I go to college at night is my path to success. Staying ambitious and focused is the name of the game. I'm not where I want to be yet, but give me some time and I will become the Mr. Get my coffee.
In life a dream can be big or small and can always be made a reality. Our dedication is what defines us as a person. My mentality has changed over the years and straight to the top is where I'm going. Join me!

Clouds of Sils Maria

Sunday, July 5, 7pm
Monday, July 6, 1:30pm & 7pm
Juliette Binoche, Kristen Stewart, and Chloë Grace Moretz light up this exhilarating, behind-the-scenes look at art, acting and aging from acclaimed director Olivier Assayas (Carlos). Maria Enders (Binoche) is a renowned actress at the peak of her career. But when she's cast opposite a young Hollywood starlet with a penchant for scandal (Moretz) in a new production of the play that first made her famous, Maria must come to terms with what it means to be a middle-aged actress in a youth-obsessed industry. Retreating high into the mountains with her personal assistant (a revelatory Stewart, first-ever American winner of a César acting award), Maria confronts her personal demons and prepares for the most important role of her life. Set amidst the scenic splendor of the Swiss Alps, Clouds of Sils Maria is propelled by tour-de-force performances from three actresses at the top of their game. | Rated R | Run time 2hr 5min

When his wife and children arrive (real-life wife Tippi Hedren, "The Birds," and step-daughter Melanie Griffith, and his sons John and Jerry Marshall) for a visit, a long-brewing battle for dominance between the lions erupts and threatens their very lives.

To start with, be aware they charge you £4.50 to park. The site has amusements, merry Gordon's etc so works well for families. Wee took the chairlift down to the beach and this was pretty awesome £ 4.00 for a return ticket so good value. The views of the needles from the chair lift and beach were amazing. You can... More
Good parking where you can walk easily into the excellent retail areas for fine local gifts and memorabilia as well as local wine,beer, food etc.Carry on to the famous Needles a must see on this Island where their is a viewing area which is super.Their is a chair lift running down to the beach from the cliff top( to high... More
We visited in a nice sunny afternoon in June 2015 from Sandown area of isle of Wight.Because of every public transport bus no 2,3 connecting to 7 are centric to New port so it takes much time to reach Needles from any part of Island. It's a nice place,view from new battery(tickets applicable) is closer but you can visit through... More
The natural attractions here are great, the land and sea and history, however like many other iconic UK places there seems to be a desperate attempt to reduce everything to a tacky theme park. Enjoy the views the chairlift, and the boat ride .
We go here every year with our daughter, family and parents. There's something for everyone but it's great value, at £4.50 for parking which includes a couple of free activities you can spend a good few hours here on the rides with toddlers, watching the sweet making, seeing glass blown, the chair lift and getting a good value hot meal.... More
A great day out with lots to do for all the family.There is either the chair lift or the many steps to the beach, where there is a boat trip round the Needle rocks. There is a bus trip or a walk up to the Needles Battery where the views are spectacular, especially of the cliffs of coloured sand.At the... More
The Needles which are beautiful stacks of chalk on the western side of Isle of Wight. Unfortunately we did not much time to walk down the end point. We decided to take the Chairlift to the shore of the sea. It was a sight to remember as we descended down to the shore.It was untouched with the stones on the... More
Not that the National Trust website or Needles website makes clear, but you don't have to pay for the Battery, or the chaurlift or cruise or the frankly tacky pleasure park to see the Needles. We went along one fine evening, all was quiet, and we had a lovely walk along the headland, which takes you to the NEedles viewpoint... More
Great day out with my boyfriend! We went on the chairlift which was scary but worth it! Amazing views and we even got a fridge magnet with the picture that was taken in the chairlift!
Turned a lovely natural phenomenon into a tacky play area.To view the Needles best you need to walk up to the Battery.Lovely views.The rides,the stalls,the idea that people need this in a natural beauty spot amazes me.Afraid not for me.The chair lift down to beach over priced.The only way down for most people but waste of time and money.Will go...

Yes, it's not great; however there was a thread talking about it going up. Seems it went down.
If the whole world was blind, how many people would you impress?
snugsmamma.....that is what we will be doing here when our baby comes.
We have no debt other than students loans and 1 car payment....everything else is standard bills like electric, phone, water, and gym membership. If we ever had to cut back again...we would cut back the cell phone bill.
I know all to well what it is like to be "under water" I also know what it took me to get out of it....lots of hard work and cutting back. Nothing comes easy.
We have gone through DH layoff...for 6 months only to take a low paying job that paid just as much as his unemployment checks...but we took the risk to get him back out in the workfield, 2 miscarraiges and 1 child in College, living at home but working his own min wage job to put himself through college. 4 moves in 4 years until we were able to finally buy a home after looking for 1 1/2 years. Throughout all of this....I have never once gotten a raise...and I have been in the same place for 6.5 years.
If you are educated and strict, it can be done....but like getting the economy back together..it takes time.

The BLS is an institution with tremendous integrity, and with very deep procedures and methods to ensure the most accurate and confidential collection, analysis, and reporting of data known to this or any other country. You want proof? Go the their website and find me one document among the hundreds of thousands up there that show any political leanings one way or the other—it's all "just the facts, maam.†Then—and I'm talking to you, Jack—look at their survey methods and explain to me how they're cooking the books—at what stage the fix is going in.
My wonky geek crush, Ezra Klein, explains it here.

Being a smartass is hard work. But being a dumbass is no fun.
The U3 (unemployment rate) is calculated via survey not solely based on people receiving or filing unemployment. There is a spearate measure that calculates new jobless claims and amount of people recieivng unemployment.

It's funny how the Republicans are reacting badly to this bit of news. Guess they only cheer when the unemployment rate goes up higher because it hurts President Obama.
The number, standing alone, doesn't mean much if you don't look at how it was arrived at.
Of course it does because they have been arriving at this number in the same way for a long time.
It seems to me like you are just saying "yes, but." But all of those "yes, but"s could have been said when looking at the last recovery and the one before that.
Part time employment goes up before full time employment and this recovery is no different. I feel like I need to add duh to the end of that statement.
In the past when they calculated unemployment during recoveries, the part time employment went up before full time employment.
Unemployment numbers went down before wages began to increase. Again, common sense would tell you that.
Again, this is the same pattern shown in previous recoveries. It is the yes, buts that you are pointing out that actually prove that the economy is in a recovery pattern.
So in a recovery, unemployment of 7.8% does have meaning and it's meaning is not substantially different from recovery to recovery.
Of course an unemployment of 7.8% in a recession would have a different meaning, and the numbers would show quite a different pattern. For example, part-time employment falls off quickly in a recession pattern. That isn't happening.
ETA - oh and add me and my sister in for anecdotal evidence of increased hiring. Neither of us were collecting unemployment since we initially quit to be SAHMs. But we both (in different states even) have gotten back in the workforce just these past 2 months.
I see a ruse, intentionally constructed to confuse the news - Tyrone Hayes
I'm a fan of Ezra too. Love the guy.
