When Velma Horton passed away on Jan. 21 she left many friends and loved ones searching for a way to show their appreciation for her over 37 years of service as a Carroll County educator. That desire has materialized in the Velma B. Horton Memorial Scholarship.
The idea of honoring Horton with a scholarship in her name came about during a discussion between two of her closest friends, Yvonne Jessup and Helen Melton, following Horton's funeral service.
"At the funeral service, I said to Helen that we needed to get a plaque in honor of Velma for the guidance department. Helen said we needed a scholarship in her honor, so we decided on that," said Jessup.
"Never in all my years of teaching, nor when she was my teacher, did I ever hear anyone utter a negative word about Velma. All students, faculty, parents and staff had the greatest respect and admiration for her," said Melton, who had Horton for an English teacher during the eighth grade.
"She was a strict teacher, but we all learned so much in her class and had the greatest respect for her. English was my favorite subject, but she gave me my background in grammar and instilled in me a love of English. I attribute my choosing a career as an English teacher to her. She was the best English teacher I ever had.
"When I started teaching, and she was my coworker, I developed an even greater respect and admiration for her. We became close friends and remained so until her death. I have never had a more loyal friend than Velma."
Horton began her teaching career in 1953 at the one-room Hylton School in Dugspur and later taught at the Rome and Excelsior schools in Laurel Fork. She then went on to teach at Vinson near Hillsville, Wards Gap in Fancy Gap and Delton, also in Fancy Gap. After 10 years of teaching in one-room schools, Horton held a position for six years as an English and civics teacher at Hillsville High School. While there, she also worked part-time in the guidance department.
From 1964 to 1969, Horton traded teaching for motherhood and stayed home to raise her two daughters. During this time, the family moved to Radford, which allowed Horton to finish up a master's degree in education at Radford College.
Horton and her family moved back to Hillsville in 1969 and she was hired as a guidance counselor at the newly consolidated Carroll County High School. From 1982 until retiring in 1990, she was the director of the guidance department.
Shelby Puckett , who worked in the guidance department at CCHS for 15 years and later became an assistant principal, said Horton's "patience was beyond any I have ever known. She would go the extra mile to help a kid and her patience was absolutely endless. I never saw her lose her temper, say a harsh word or be out of sorts with anybody.
"Velma cared about anybody she came in contact with. She was amazing, the greatest human being I have ever known."
Harold Golding, who worked with Horton prior to and during the term as principal at CCHS, called her his "mentor."
"When I came to this county I was fortunate enough to serve with Velma on a committee that was working on consolidation. I was an inexperienced 25-year-old and she was this seasoned educator who taught me a lot of things. She was my mentor in education," said Golding.
Later when Golding became principal at CCHS and worked with Horton, his admiration grew.
"She was such a hard worker. If she had to stay until 9 p.m., she would," he said. "She made sure every kid had an opportunity to go to college even when they didn't have the money. She would find scholarships or grants. She wanted kids to have values and she taught those things, and she took care of everybody else before herself."
Melton said she was amazed with Horton's work ethic.
"She was always at CCHS by 6:45 a.m. and she never left before 5 p.m. When she did leave, she carried stacks of work home with her to complete," recalled Melton. "She told me numerous times about the parents and students who called her at home in the evening. Until she passed away, students and parents continued to call her for help with college applications, scholarships and school work. Since her death numerous parents and students have told me how much she helped them, what she did for them and how much they appreciated her."
Melton said she too relied on Horton for advice.
"I knew she would always give me an honest answer. If you were wrong, she very professionally would tell you so," she said.
Melton said the fact that Horton would devote so much of her time to others was even more inspiring because of the hardship she endured.
"Anyone who had faced what Velma had, the death of her husband and the tragic death of her youngest daughter, would have given up, but she continued on. After her daughter's death, she devoted her life to rearing her daughter's two children," Melton said.
Anyone wishing to donate to the Velma B. Horton Memorial Scholarship fund may do so by sending a donation to the Carroll Scholarship Foundation Inc., P.O. Box 517, Hillsville, Va. 24343. Be sure to note that the donation, which is tax deductible, is for the scholarship honoring Horton. For more information, call 728-4121.

Hello, I am wondering about a couple things regarding using a flat for making a gun.
1) I have recently been told that no matter if you are going to transfer the gun or not you will need to put your name, a serial number, and your location on the receiver, is this true?
2.)If using the proper ammount of 922r compliance parts, example: (U.S made muzzle break, Tapco G2,U.S flat, and a U.S made gas piston.) And the receiver is made for semi auto only. The flat is serial numbered to the person who manufactured the gun. Would there be any legal problems? Or am I missing somthing?
3.)I also heard that if you still contain the orignal FA trigger groups and parts you could get in alot of trouble considering it is somthing that could be made into a working FA gun. What truth is there in that, and can someone contain but not use the original FA trigger groups?
4.)What is the general law for home builders using flats? There is a chance I may have missed somthing above so I am just making sure. I am not even sure a serial number is needed if you don't plan to sell, I have heard it both ways.
Also if you guys have any letters that I could print off from the BATF, or written things that I can print off that would be extremely nice.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated, thanks for your time and concern.

Del Webb turns out for good cause, memorable game
Del Webb and Cane Bay fans were treated to a late autumn fireworks show Sunday at Cobra Park as the DW Codgers bested the CBHS Faculty team, 24-11, in a slugfest softball game that featured 14 home runs.
The Veterans Day celebration began with the DW Veterans Club, represented by Kjell Ring and Marty Ryan, presenting colors for the National Anthem, performed ably by the Singing Marine, Dennis Morrill.
Once the ceremonies were concluded though, it was an all-out ambush. Mike Brown legged out an infield hit to start the first inning, and Ken Martinelli followed with a single through the right side for the visiting Codgers. Eric Walke then promptly deposited CB pitcher Shane Todds next offering over the left center field fence for a three-run lead. The Codgers plated two more on four straight hits, and the shell-shocked faculty got off the field by rule, five runs down and without registering a put out.
Codgers starter Rich Geismar got three quick outs after a leadoff single in the home half, and the Codgers poured on five more in the second on six hits, a walk, and an inning-ending homer by Eric Walke.
Geismar put the Teachers down one-two-three in the second. The onslaught continued in the top of the third with yet another five-runs coming across for the Codgers, capped by home runs from Phil Fimiani and Dave England. Geismar pitched around a single in the third, and the Codgers led to start the fourth inning by an astonishing margin of 15-0.
That lead jumped to 20-0 when the Codgers reached their seasons highlight with three consecutive home runs from Eric Walke, Phil Fimiani, and Rich Geismar; then ended with Tom Fieldsteads blast for an unprecedented four-homer inning.
The bookies in Vegas had closed up shop and left town by the time the Faculty got on the scoreboard in the home half of the fourth. Pitcher Darryl Rice relieved Rich Geismar and surrendered a pair of solo homers to Shane Todd and Carrie Hudson after two were out. The Codgers stretched the lead with four more in the top of the fifth, with Ken Martinellis home run closing out the scoring for the visitors.
But having broken through against Rice in the fourth, the Faculty came up swinging in the fifth. Two walks and a single loaded the bases with none out, followed by RBI singles by Jeff Whisenhunt and Sara Guthrie. Shane Todd then unloaded his second home run, and the Teachers had four more runs on the board.
Whisenhunt, now pitching effectively in relief of Todd, kept the Codgers from scoring in the sixth for the first time all game. Codgers closer Paul Farkas came on in the home half of the sixth and was greeted by three straight hits, the last a run-scoring double from Frank Guthrie. Farkas got the next two outs, but Sara Guthrie got a clutch RBI single to extend the inning, and Shane Todd made the Codgers pay with his third straight home run, this a three-run bomb to retire the side by rule.
The Faculty had outscored the Codgers 11-4 in the last two innings, and had gamely closed the gap to 24-11 entering the final frame. Again Whisenhunt retired the Codgers without surrendering a run, and the Faculty came to bat in the all you can get home seventh looking for 13 runs to tie. But Codgers starter Rich Geismar had returned to the mound to nail down his own lead after seeing a shaky Codger bullpen get rattled in the last two innings. Still, the resilient faculty had the bases loaded with one out when hot-hitting Susan Pitchor laced a rocket down the third base line that Eric Walke was able to knock down, step on third for a force and throw home to cut down Sherrie Norris for a game ending double play.
It was an entertaining day for all, paced along by the banter of PA announcer and emcee Ross Baglio, his CBHS color commentator Joey Wade, and the musical interludes and commentary from Bob Hayes.
But the day wasnt about winning or losing, or even a softball game. It was about turning out for a good cause and spurring community support for needy families. Each year CBHS organizes a food drive around Thanksgiving time and hosts a Community Fair to distribute the bounty donated by the Cane Bay family of communities. This year, Del Webb Charleston hoped to enhance the Nov. 17 Community Fair by staging a high profile exhibition softball game against the CBHS Faculty and collect food and dry goods donations as admission to the benefit game.
And once again Del Webbers turned out in great support for a worthwhile event. CBHS food collections at the gate surpassed expectations. Thanks in part to the generosity of Del Webb patrons, Cane Bay High School is positioned to make the 2012 Community Fair its best ever, and continue its commendable work in our community.

We are therefore really excited about the latest report on digital media consumer behavior and trends in the Nordic and Baltic countries, from one of Scandinavia's largest telecom providers, Telia Sonera.
The report divides digital media consumers up into four different categories, "tech parents", "iToddlers", "infomaniacs" and "IT high society". The latest group is defined as the most important and influential one. The report even appoints the "IT high society" as the new "upper class" of digital media consumers.

Things I liked:Overall look and feel, and the power
Things I would have changed:I wish I had gotten the non-spring cocking version of this gun.
What others should know:It make a loud spring noise when firing.
Things I liked:We bought it for my son's 9th Birthday. He is able to cock it by himself. Which makes it nice. He can hold it up to shoot it without his arms getting tired.
Things I would have changed:The trigger has to much play.
What others should know:It came out of box on site. With the true glow sites.
Things I liked:I like the ease of cocking for this accurate rifle. The quality of the rifle, in my opinion, is top notch.
Things I would have changed:The only thing that I would like to see is a better trigger. Even if it added another twenty dollars to the price of the gun, it would be worth it.
What others should know:I found out this afternoon when shooting it, that the hood over the front site is very sharp! My hand accidentally slid forward and one finger made contact with the edge of it and it cut instantly. I did not have my hand that far out on the barrel, it slipped. But I will be keeping a careful eye on where I put my hand from now on.

Faculty Spotlight on Kathy Swoboda
Spotlight on: Kathy Swoboda
Kent State University's professors instill a commitment to excellence in research and teaching. In addition, Kent State professors, including Kathy Swoboda inspire student to learn more about their discipline. Swoboda, an instructor in the Occupational Therapy Assistant Technology (OTAT) program, imparts passion for learning in her students.
Swoboda was awarded a grant from the Professional Development Excellence Pool to become Sensory Integrative and Praxis Certified. The certifications will allow Swoboda to further her knowledge of how to apply sensory integration principles in multiple settings to treat various problems, including learning and behavior disorders, attention deficits, autism, Asperger's Syndrome, and developmental delays.
"This will be a valuable tool within the classroom," Swoboda said. "With the explosion of autism; our future Occupational Therapy Assistants need to have a rounded understanding of Sensory Integration and the dysfunctions that these children face."
Harriet Bynum, Director of the OTAT program holds the highest regards for Kathy's commitment to her students. "She is extremely dedicated and passionate about teaching," Bynum said. "Not only does she provide her students with the knowledge and skills they will need upon graduation, but she becomes a mentor to them, someone they know they can count on."
Sarah Miller, one of Swoboda's students, experienced her kindness first hand. Miller's husband was a few weeks from deployment to Afghanistan when Swoboda and the rest of Miller's classmates threw a surprise luncheon for the couple. "It was such a wonderful and unexpected surprise," Miller said. "Professor Swoboda and
my classmates are like family to me."
During Miller's last semester, Swoboda would write her encouraging notes to help ease the pain and the worry she was going through since her husband's deployment. "Sarah was special because she was my student," Swoboda said.
"I take great pride in each student I put out into the field."
As a thank you, Miller's husband, John arranged for the US flag to be flown over his troop in a Kandahar Airfield in Afghanistan in Swoboda's honor. Swoboda was presented the framed flag by Sarah and John at dinner the night before graduation.
"I will never, in all of my days receive a more beautiful gift," Swoboda said.

Google's photo sharing site lets you see photo albums on a map. For each photo that has latitude and longitude, Picasa Web shows a small map in the sidebar.
You can enter a single location for an entire album or place each photo from an album to a map using drag and drop. The desktop client can also geolocate photos using Google Earth.
The most impressive is the combination between a map and a slideshow. If you select a photo and click on "play", the photos will move on the map according to their locations.
Google has recently acquired Panoramio, a photo sharing site that let you link photos with the place they were taken. Hopefully Picasa Web will add a way to search for public photos by location and include Panoramio's main functionality.
Picasa Web should've launched a mobile version of the site, but, as usually, the feature is not available even after it was publicly announced. "With Picasa Web Albums for mobile devices, your favorite pictures are always with you. So next time you're at a loss for words when describing just how awesome, cute, or beautiful something really was, just grab your phone for visual backup. Of course, the mobile version of Picasa Web Albums lets you keep track of photo updates from friends and family, too. Just click 'My Favorites' from the main screen to see the latest photo albums that your contacts have posted to Picasa Web Albums -- you can even post a quick comment on their photos, using your phone. Thumbnails and photos are automatically re-sized for your device's screen, so pictures look good and download fast." The mobile site should be available at http://www.google.com/mobile/photos/.

Comments about Carton Top Closure Coil Box Stapler:
I love this stapler. CPO had a great price too. The only issues I had are the instructions are not very good and the poor staple guides. The staple guides to show you where the staples will be going in are cast into the sides of the stapler body but are not a contrasting color to make identifying staple location quick and easy. This will be easily taken care of with some of the wife's nail polish! It would also be nice to have a center guide that pokes down between the box flaps to keep the stapler on center when stapling a lot of boxes fast. Other than that this is one of the best tools I've ever purchased in regards to making shipping faster and more efficient in time and cost. I also doubt I'll run out of staples soon when a case contains 24,000 staples!!!

Political Science
"The study of political science/law is basically the path of least resistance for me. It is a subject that has always interested me, and one that I have proved to be naturally insightful in. Studying political science isn't just the study of how governments function or how it is composed, but the study of why it exists and to what ends. In short, it is the study of what makes everything else possible."

'Picturing Thailand,' 'Hair' coming to LeSo GalleryWritten by Jay Hathaway | | firstname.lastname@example.com
An East Toledo art gallery will be wrapping up winter and heading into spring with two unique exhibits.
Next up at LeSo Gallery, 1527 Starr Ave., will be "Picturing Thailand," an exhibition of photographs by Elliot Charney that will open Feb. 7.
Charney received the 2013 Toledo Museum of Art Palmer Scholarship and used his winnings to spend two months exploring Thailand, capturing images of the people, land and culture.
The idea came when a friend from Texas called this summer and asked if Charney wanted to go to Thailand.
"Of course, I wanted to, but I didn't really have the money," Charney said.
Immediately after the conversation, Charney read an Arts Commission newsletter, and saw that TMA's Palmer Scholarship deadline was the next day. After pondering, he decided to act on it.
"I figured I would tell them I wanted to go to Thailand, so I spent like eight hours, got the whole thing written and then I just wrote the whole thing off, because it was a last-minute thing, and I didn't think I did a good job."
However, Charney said that about two months later he received a letter stating that he had been awarded the scholarship. He was now adequately funded for his journey.
Ironically, his friend that originally asked him to go to Thailand did not accompany him, so Charney set out alone last September.
Charney said that, at first, he experienced a small amount of culture shock, but he quickly adjusted to his new surroundings.
"As soon as that kind of went away, I didn't find it all that different from traveling around the United States," he said.
For the first few weeks, Charney stayed in bamboo huts and learned about organic farming, working the rice fields and farms.
After wrestling with a few different themes, Charney decided to stick with the concept of "Zen and the art of photography," the topic he originally pitched on his scholarship application.
"It was kind of my fancy way of saying, 'I'm just going to wander around and photograph everything I see.' I was following what it seemed like I should be following at the moment."
Charney said that, while he did happen upon some unique scenes and events, most of what he captured on film was intentionally commonplace.
"I'm not showing anything totally outrageous, like a dragon festival," he said.
Charney said the exhibit is not just about Thailand.
"It just so happens that [Thailand] is where these photos were taken. There's nothing exotically Thai, as some people might expect. It's really just about the world and its landscapes and people."
"Picturing Thailand" kicked off with an opening reception on Feb. 7, and will continue to run during regular gallery hours on Saturdays and Sundays noon to 4 p.m.
A closing reception and artist talk will be held 7-9 p.m. Feb. 21.
LeSo also recently wrapped up a call for artists for an upcoming exhibit based on the concept of "Hair."
LeSo's Director of Marketing & Design Bradley Scherzer explained the inspiration for the open invitation.
"A long time ago, Amber [LeFever, LeSo director/owner] had mentioned 'mourning jewelry,' which is a style of jewelry made with the deceased's hair. That was something that stuck in my head, and then I started seeing some other people's work online. Once I kind of got into that, I thought it would be a really interesting prompt for the coming year."
The idea to call out to area artists was an attempt to motivate them to go beyond their usual frames of style and find something original.
"I'm a teacher, and I thought of this as kind of an assignment that's going to yield a pretty wide spread of results," he said.
Scherzer expected at least 30 submissions, and the gallery will be sorting through them this week to decide which ones will be accepted for the exhibit.
Scherzer said that this is just one of many planned future exhibits at LeSo that will feature a call for art submissions.
"Hair" will open at LeSo 7-9 p.m. March 7. A closing reception and select artist talks will be held on 7-9 p.m. March 21.

If you are doing the build yourself you will need a few tools, a cobalt drill bit, 3/16" reamer and a #6-32 tap and tap drill we will price these out and offer them as a package to you. we will also be posting the dimentions for doing the machine work.
we still need 2 springs to complete the semi parts kit. we will meet with a local spring maker monday to get these made asap.

Tick Tubes®, Set of 6

Tick Tubes® Help Prevent Lyme Disease
- Reduce your exposure to Lyme disease by up to 90%
- Environmentally friendly way to kill ticks before they spread disease
- Set of six tubes treats 1/8 acre
Tick Tubes help minimize your chance of exposure to Lyme disease by up to 90%, by killing deer ticks before they have a chance to spread the disease to you or your pets. The cardboard tubes contain cotton that's been treated with permethrin. Simply place the tubes in mouse habitat — brushy areas, ground covers, stone walls. When mice collect the cotton for their nests the permethrin is transferred to their fur. Deer ticks that feed on mice in spring and late summer are exposed to the permethrin and killed before they can spread the disease. Set of 6 tubes treats 5,500 sq. ft.
- Cardboard, cotton, permethrin
- Each tube measures 1-1/2" in diameter x 5-3/4" L

Best Uses
From the first year I used the tick tubes ticks disappeared from my farm. They used to rain down on me as I worked outside and get on all the dogs. The last few years we maybe saw one or two ticks anywhere. I hate to go back to the bad old days.
- Was this a gift?:
- No
Best Uses
We had ticks in our yard so badly this summer that I couldn't even walk ten feet to our grill without having them on me, and our cats now bring them in regularly despite being treated. I didn't want to use these, especially as another reviewer said they also kill good bugs, but I felt it was necessary to protect my family. I placed them in our low rock wall, and also sprayed my yard with a natural product I bought at Wholefoods. The ticks were gone for months and just started coming back last month, so I have reordered. I gave this four stars because it may not be the most environmentally friendly option, but it did control our tick problem. Climate change has made our yard increasingly tick laden in the fifteen years we have lived at this house, and these tubes did help significantly. While I worry about the environment, I worry also about Lyme disease as it is prevalent in my area.
- Was this a gift?:
- No
Best Uses
We love it because it doesn't harm beneficial insects like tick sprays. Mice use the cotton in their nests and it kills ticks when they try to attach. My husband and I put them out in spring and summer and saw a big reduction in deer ticks the following spring. Awesome product.

CENTENNIAL, Colo. - A detective says the alleged gunman in the Colorado theater shooting acted strangely in an interview soon after the attack.
Det. Craig Appel testified Tuesday that James Holmes had paper bags over his hands to preserve gunshot residue. Holmes played with the bags as if they were puppets. Appel said Holmes also played with a cup on the table and tried to jam a staple into an electrical outlet.
Defense attorney Daniel King asked whether Holmes had been tested for drugs or other substances. Appel said there was no indication that he was under the influence of anything.
Appel acknowledged that Holmes' pupils' were dilated, something that had also been noted by the officer who arrested him.

Program for Culture and Conflict Studies
** New Pakistan Index / Central Asia / mobiAFG / pages. **
** Updates currently underway: please check for provincial overview updates! **
** Sponsorship opportunities available: please see below! **
The Program for Culture and Conflict Studies (CCS) is premised on the belief that the United States must understand the cultures and societies of the world to effectively interact with local people. It is dedicated to the study of anthropological, ethnographic, social, political, and economic data to inform U.S. policies at both the strategic and operational levels.
CCS is the result of a collaborative effort to provide current open source information to Provincial Reconstruction Teams (PRT), mission commanders, academics, and the general public. Covering tribes, politics, trends, and people, this website -- a 21st century gazetteer, provides data, analysis, and maps not available anywhere else.
CCS Research
The Program for Culture and Conflict Studies collects, organizes, and disseminates anthropological data for the purpose of better preparing individuals and organizations in pursing relationships with other cultures. Our studies include:

CCS Occasional Papers
The CCS Occasional Paper Series seeks to further the education and discussion of issues pertaining to culture and conflict in South and Central Asia. CCS disseminates scholarly essays on an ongoing basis that attempt to contribute to the creation of a more stable environment in Afghanistan. These papers identify and discuss contemporary and interdisciplinary issues that affect U.S. national security interests including politics, economics, ethnographic intelligence, culture, geostrategic interests, national and local development methods, regional and cooperative security, terrorism, and tribal relations. CCS papers are written by faculty and staff members of the Naval Postgraduate School, alumni, and guest contributors.
The CCS Occasional Paper series can be emailed to appropriate .mil email addresses. To receive a copy of any or all of our occasional papers, please contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com or you may contact Professor Thomas H. Johnson directly at: email@example.com. Our papers include:
• The Perception of Colors, Numbers, and Language Among Afghans: The purpose of this study is to provide cultural information operationally relevant to troops and information operators on the ground. For instance, some colors and numbers may have connotations different from, and even opposite to how Americans perceive or value them. Idiomatic expressions and proverbs also constitute important communication tools for expressing complex ideas and deeper thoughts. Comprehension of these cultural traits equips us with tools necessary for communicating effectively with the Afghans.
• Operational Pashtunwali: This paper on ""Operational Pashtunwali" is a slight departure from our previous CCS papers. In response to innumerable requests, we have created a tactical product specifically for squad leaders, platoon sergeants, platoon leaders and company commanders that explains the culture of the Afghan south and how to use it in tactical operations. We hope this paper answers the requests, by explaining how the "code" of the Pashtun people can be used both for force protection and as an offensive force multiplier.
• Analysis of the Taliban Code of Conduct: This paper on the Taliban's "code of conduct" offers valuable insight regarding the Taliban's objectives and key strategies, their attempt at consolidating the movement at the tactical and operational level, and reveals overt and concealed clues into the psyche of the Taliban leadership; highlighting its weaknesses, fears and vulnerabilities. The intention of this paper is to uncover and help exploit cracks found in the Taliban's organizational structure as well at its operational mode, enhancing the Coalition's IO-PSYOP arsenal and helping in the creation of effective messaging campaigns targeting the Taliban infrastructure.
• Why Poetry Matters to Afghans: Understanding enemy "narratives" requires further knowledge of cultural tropes and values, such as poetry, which will inevitably help western forces compete with or counterbalance the insurgent domination of the IO battleground. Operational examples of analyzed poetry are given throughout this document, including pertinent uses within the counter-IED and counternarcotics realm. Additionally, a primer into how Afghan insurgent forces, such as the Taliban and the Tora Bora Military Front, operationalize poetry and create narratives that resonate with Afghan society is also included. It is with this approach that the CCS hopes to provide the necessary tools and analysis to stimulate US and Coalition forces' attempt to dislodge the insurgent stranglehold on the IO realm and to better enhance allied communication with our Afghan counterparts and citizens.
• Afghanistan's Criminal-Insurgency: Precursor Chemicals (PCC), Fertilizers, and IEDs: This report scrutinizes the potential linkages between chemicals used in the production of drugs; those used in the making of home-made explosives, and the fertilizers currently available in Afghanistan and the implications these three have on the proliferation of IEDs in Afghanistan. Findings include explosive potential, licit and illicit purposes of the chemicals listed, and their overlap in drug and explosives production. Photographic visual aids are also presented to help personnel identify and understand the multitude of different chemicals available in the Afghan battle-space, what the anatomy of a drug lab entails, and what elements are needed to properly run an opium processing and heroin refinement workshop.

Since Jay-Z's press conference in Philadelphia last week we've been on pins and needles anticipating the announcement for the lineup of the Made in America festival he's curating and headlining on September 1 and 2. Jigga man delivered on the goal he'd set for himself asking, "Is it going to push the culture forward?" With such a diverse selection of musical acts crossing multiple genres, we'd say the answer to Jay's query is unequivocally, "Yes!"
For the two day festival on the Benjamin Franklin Parkway in Philly, music lovers can enjoy the tunes of Pearl Jam, Afrojack, Odd Future, Skrillex, Miike Snow, Dirty Projectors, X, the Knocks, Calvin Harris, Jay's artist Rita Ora, Prince Royce, Janelle Monae, Santigold, Passion Pit, Wale, Rick Ross, Meek Mill, the DJ set by Savoy and the return of D'Angelo. Let's not forget Hov will also hit the stage as the headliner. As with everything he does, Jay-Z took his job as curator seriously, and created a highly anticipated festival.
Oh, can we talk about Jay sangging R&B singer D'Angelo (who hasn't released an album in 12 years) for a minute? Over the weekend D'Angelo made headlines when a GQ profile hit the net with him looking rather scrumptious. The singer is working on an album, and whatever Jay did to get him to perform at Budweiser's Made in America, we salute you, Jay. As diverse as the list of performers is, even more acts will be announced next week. Jay-Z can check off successful curator from his bucket list.

GoGrid CEO, John Keagy, recently spent some time overseas visiting the new GoGrid European Headquarters and data center in Amsterdam. I caught up with John upon his return in order to find out his thoughts and visions of a global GoGrid cloud, how Equinix has enabled GoGrid's expansion and why it is important to the GoGrid customer.
Michael Sheehan: Why is opening a new overseas data center important?
John Keagy: It's part of our global expansion plan. Europe is a logical next step.
MS: Why Amsterdam and not somewhere else?
JK: My favorite reason on why we selected Amsterdam as the first part of our overseas expansion is AMS-IX. AMS-IX is an Internet exchange that has resulted in Amsterdam being the place for Internet transit. Bandwidth is affordable and comparable to Silicon Valley. It means that customers are in the spot where most Internet traffic originates and terminates. If you are going to locate a web server in one location in Europe, Amsterdam is the most connected city. It's the best place to locate your Internet infrastructure. It's got the most connections and because it has the most connections, it is the most affordable – the highest performance at the lowest cost.
MS: Why was having a European presence critical?
JK: We have a strong European customer base that has been demanding a localized presence and when we examined that marketplace, we determined that it was critical to enable those European customers to have a cloud infrastructure deployable in their backyard.
MS: What are your impressions of the data center facility having visited it?
JK: The data center facility is incredible. It's a combination of GoGrid doing a nice job with its installation – the racking and stacking, cabling and design of the installation. But it is also Equinix's implementation of its cold aisle technology. It's like walking into a refrigerator. It's sealed. It doesn't have a cage door, it has a glass door. They pump cold air into the interior of the cage and it's vented through the equipment. Where there is no equipment, the slots are filled with baffles so that the cold air is forced through the equipment. It's sort of like a refrigerator within a cage. It's not just us doing a good job, it's Equinix pursing a better utility efficiency score through sophisticated cold aisle containment technology.

Linguistik-Klassifikation: Sprachtypologie / Language typology
Year of publication
- 1982 (4) (remove)
- Possessivität (2)
- Possessivkonstruktion (2)
- Sprachtypologie (2)
- Afrikanische Sprachen (1)
- Kuanua (1)
- Valenz <Linguistik> (1)
- Possessivity, subject and object (1982)
- The basic question is whether POSSESSOR and POSSESSUM are on the same level as the roles of VALENCE, two additional roles as it were. My research on POSSESSION has shown (Seiler 1981:7 ff.) that this is not the case, that there is a difference in principle between POSSESSION and VALENCE. However, there are multiple interactions between the two domains, and these interactions shall constitute the object of the following inquiry. It is hoped that this will contribute to a better understanding both of POSSESSION and of VALENCE.
- Possessive constructions in Tolai (1982)
- Possessive constructions are grammatical constructions which contain two nominals and express that the referent of one of these nominals belongs to the other. The kind of relationship denoted by possessive constructions is not only that of ownership (1), as the term "possessive" might suggest, but also that of kinship (2), bodypart relationship (3), part/whole relationship (4) and similar relationships [...]. The following investigation will start with possessive constructions on phrase level, i.e. possessive phrases, and then deal with possessive constructions on clause level.
- Twentv-four questions on linguistic typology and a collection of answers (1982)
- At the end of last year, I designed an inquiry about the present state of linguistic typology in the form of a questionnaire. It was an attempt to cover the whole field by formulating the questions which seemed most relevant to it. This questionnaire is reproduced, without modifications, following this preface. In the first days of this year, it was sent to 33 linguists who I know are working in the field. The purpose was to form, on the basis of responses received, a picture of convergences and divergences among trends of present-day linguistic typology. The idea was also to get an objective basis for my report on "The present state of linguistic typology", to be delivered at the XIII. International Congress of Linguistics at Tokyo, 1982.
- Patterns of grammaticalization in African languages (1982)
- The approach outlined in the present paper is based on observations made with African languages. Although the 1000-odd African languages display a remarkable extent of structural variation, there are certain structures that do not seem to occur in Africa. Thus, to our knowledge, an African language having anything that could be called an ergative case or a numeral classifier system has not been discovered so far. It may turn out that our approach can, in a modified form, be made applicable to languages outside Africa. This , however, is a possibility that has not been considered here. The present approach is based essentially on diachronic findings in that it uses observations on language evolution in order to account for structural differences between languages. Thus, it has double potential: apart from describing and explaining typological diversity it can also be material to reconstructing language history.

The new policies and procedures manual adopted updates previous versions of the one first adopted in 2006. It was edited to include changes in state laws and county ordinances since the last revision about two years ago.
One change is in the requirements for conservation use. The state no longer allows counties to set minimum acreage for conservation tracts. But the new policies call for those with tracts of 10 acres or less to provide more information so the appraisers can be sure the property qualifies under state guidelines.
After approving the policies, the board reconsidered a conservation request by James Crutchfield on a 9.94-acre tract. According to the current state regulations, 2 acres must be subtracted from the request to allow for the home site if a home is included, which in this case it was. Then at least 50 percent of the remaining property must be used for a qualifying use – in this case timber production.
Crutchfield submitted the necessary paperwork, including a management plan, but after reviewing photos of the tract, the assessors determined his tract did not meet the 50 percent qualifying use requirement and voted to deny his request.
