Bob Litz
Minnehaha County commissioners Tuesday postponed deciding where residents will be allowed to vote in next years elections after expressing doubts about the effectiveness of electronic poll books.
The Sioux Falls School District was first in the state to experiment with e-poll books and voting centers in 2011 with Secretary of State Jason Gants encouragement. Since then, several other local governments have used the system, which enables residents to vote at any of several voting sites throughout the jurisdiction. The electronic poll books ensure people dont vote more than once.
One problem the school district had was getting enough ballots to each voting center. Because any voter can go to any polling place to vote, each site must stock ballots that contain every combination of races that day.
Minnehaha County Auditor Bob Litz was stumped Tuesday by several questions from commissioners, who unanimously postponed until January further consideration of the voting center proposal for the 2014 school, city and state elections.
Commissioners wanted to know about information technology support in the event of system failures on the day of an election. They also wanted to know how the system would handle voting in state elections that stretched across the Minnehaha and Lincoln county line.
Right now, to me, this is horribly confusing. I can imagine how confusing it is going to be to the voters, commissioner Dick Kelly said.
Commissioner John Pekas wondered what would happen if Microsoft sent out a Windows update for e-poll books the day before an election.
Thats a valid question. The updates do come out the second Tuesday of every month, said Monte Watembach, the countys IT director. The second Tuesday in November always is the date of the general election.
Nine or 10 counties to use e-poll books
Four South Dakota counties Hyde, Potter, Sully and Yankton already use e-poll books in their elections. Hughes, Brookings, Brown, Davison, Codington, Pennington and perhaps Minnehaha plan to introduce them next year.
Pekas and Kelly said voters will be confused if their traditional precinct polling places are not also chosen as voting centers. Also, legislative districts follow precinct lines, which Pekas said could lead to people showing up to vote without knowing who their local candidates are.
In response to a question from commissioner Cindy Heiberger, Litz said recounts would involve not only precincts but the whole county.
Thats a big deal, she said.
When Litz pointed out three legislative districts straddle Minnehaha and Lincoln counties, Pekas said you just opened another can of worms.
Federal help to buy books, counters
Buying e-poll books would cost the county about $200,000, Litz said. Money would come from the federal Help America Vote Act funds designated for Minnehaha County, and with almost $700,000 in such funds the county still would have money to buy the new vote counters it wants.
But there is an annual $6,000 licensing fee for e-poll book software that HAVA money wont cover, said Litz, and Watembach told commissioners his department does not have the manpower to service the approximately 150 laptop computers e-poll book voting would require.
Also, while Litz took it upon himself to survey potential voting center sites for adequate connectivity, Watembach wasnt satisfied.
Concerns about rural conectivity
Theres still some question about connectivity in the rural areas, he told the commission.
The e-poll books would be tested at vote centers the day before an election, and if problems arise during an election, the secretary of states office and the e-poll book vendor will provide technical field support. But with possibly six counties adopting the technology for next year, commissioners said they worry about adequate state technical support.
Commission Chairman Gerald Beninga and Commissioner Jeff Barth also were leery about adopting e-poll books without thoroughly testing them on a smaller scale. Barth observed voting in Yankton County last year and told his colleagues e-poll books seemed to work well there.
Lincoln County Auditor Paula Feucht has declined to pursue the adoption of e-poll book voting there for fear of recount costs and connectivity problems in rural parts of the county, plus the hardware costs.
The city of Sioux Falls, the Sioux Falls School District, Litz and Gant all have urged her to adopt e-poll book voting, Feucht said. However, I dont really want to be the guinea pig. Elections are stressful enough.

I love to know it. Allhamdulillah.

Mohammed reclaimed its place as the most popular name for baby boys born in England and Wales in 2011 – convincingly ahead of Harry, in second place, according to data released by the government this week.
The government declared that Harry was the most popular boy's name, but if you add up the five most popular different spellings of Mohammed, that name comes top.
Mohammed is also the most popular boy's name of the past five years for England and Wales, ahead of Oliver and Jack. It came first or second every year since 2007, the only name to do so.
And it could become even more popular in 2012, given the adulation around long-distance runner Mo Farah, who won two gold medals for Britain at the Olympics.
The popularity of the name comes as Britain's Muslim population is expected to double in the next 20 years.
The country, which was about 2% Muslim in 1990, grew to 4.6% Muslim in 2010, with nearly 2.9 million followers of the faith, according to analysis by the Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life.
By 2030, the United Kingdom will be just over 8% Muslim, with more than 5.5 million adherents, the Washington-based think tank projected in a 2011 report, "The Future of the Global Muslim Population." Read further in CNN.
I love to know it. Allhamdulillah.
All praise to God Almighty. WE really feel obliged to Mr.Richard A.Greene of CNN,for his research/studies, the result of which makes all the Muslims through out the world a happy lot,yes! very happy, full of honor and pride beyond description. SubhanAllah, AlhamdolillaheyRabbilAlameen. Here all the readers, are requested to recite with repetition, the pious 'Darood Shareef' as many times as possible, in thankfulness to our Creator, All-powerful, Allah.
And now a request to the editor of 'The Muslim Times'.Please ensure that in future, this most popular name should always be spelled in printed media, as Muhammed,(pbuh)–(alphabet 'O' be replaced by 'U'). Thank you, in anticipations.
Endorsing the suggestion, let me say that this universally endorsed/adopted most popular name is spelled as 'Muhammad',(pbuh), not only'o' but last 'e', before 'd', should be replaced by 'u' And 'a'.
One may express thanks for reminding the recitation of the holy , 'Darood Shareef', as many times, as possible, as enjoined upon all Ahmadis by this verse of the Peomised Masih, Masih-e-Maud, Mirza Ghulam Ahmad of Qadian,:- Bhej Darood us Mohsan par tu din mein sau sau bar, Pak Muhammad Mustafa sab nabyoon key Sardar,(SalallahoAlaiheywasallam). Wassalam.

My Maps are Our Maps
Friday, December 21, 2007
The tools used for navigation and exploration are fraught with metaphorical possibility. A compass or telescope can be a powerful symbol for search, discovery, and the fearless embrace of the unknown. A map can tell you where you are, give you an idea of what lies ahead, and even better, give scale and breadth to your location. Maps connect us with the world in a way that is tangible, visual and now, even interactive.
And for any of the myriad places you can point to on a map, there are traditions, stories, pictures and memories -- each is as unique and fascinating as its teller. For this year's holiday season we've created a My Map for you to customize.
View Larger Map
Mark your place in the world with photos, video and stories that illuminate something about how you celebrate. Your stories can make for a considerably bigger map than any featuring geopolitical boundaries and highway markers; they can mark a human space of Chanukah candles, Christmas trees, family feasts and reunions great and small. We look forward to seeing how you make your mark.

Three Things You Don't Know About the Bay to BreakersMonday, May 20th, 2013
"Here's your route profile, starting from the SoMA near the bay going all the way to the breakers of Ocean Beach. See that big incline just before mile marker three? That's the vaunted Hayes Street Hill. (And actually, the highest part of Hayes Street on this part of the course is near Pierce, not "at Fillmore and Steiner" and not "between Fillmore and Sutter.")
And actually, that part of Hayes peaks at around 260 feet, not 215:
Now, here's your winner. It's the 270-something foot high saddle on JFK Jr. Drive betwixt Prayer Book Cross and Stow Lake / Strawberry Hill, where "Kennedy" is written:
"Race organizers and media have reported that the course records set by Sammy Kitwara in 2009 and Lineth Chepkurui in 2010 are also world records at the 12 km distance;[31] however, the International Association of Athletics Federations, the international governing body for the sport of athletics/track and field, does not recognize world records or world bests in either an indoor or outdoor 12 km.[32] The Association of Road Racing Statisticians, a non-regulatory group that collects road running data, does recognize world records in the outdoor 12 km provided that the race course meets certain criteria.[33][34] In order to rule-out the possibility of wind assistancein point-to-point courses, the ARRS stipulates that the course must have "not more than 30% of the race distance separation between that start and finish", or 3.6 km for a 12 km race.[34] Given that the Bay to Breakers is run on a point-to-point course in which the start and finish of the event are approximately 10.5 linear kilometers apart, the ARRS recognizes two other marks as 12 km world records: Kenyan Simon Kigen's 33:46 in Portland, Oregon on May 19, 1985 and Chepkurui's 38:10 at the 2010Lilac Bloomsday Run.[33][nb 2]
HERE'S THE OFFICIAL ESTIMATE: "…more than in the hundreds but less than tens of thousands." THE REAL NUMBER IS TENS OF THOUSANDS.
"The Bay to Breakers is known for the large number of unregistered runners, or "bandits", who participate in the race. Ross Mirkarimi, a member of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors, reported that over half of the 60,000 participants in the 2010 Bay to Breakers were unregistered.[19] San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom was among the runners in 2010 who did not pay the registration fee to obtain a race number.[19][22] Registered participation was 24,430 in 2010,[23] 43,954 in 2011,[24] 23,072 for 2012,[25], and approximately 20,000 for 2013.[26]"
Beware, Car Owners: The Great B2B Tow of '13 is a Coming This Weekend – Hundreds Will Get Towed by SFGov – Will You?Friday, May 17th, 2013
I'll tell you, I'm not exactly sure when the tow away signs went up for this year's historic Bay to Breakers street party – maybe it was today.
No matter, hundreds of cars are going to get towed this Saturday and Sunday.
It's going to be epic.
Here are the streets to not park your car upon.
Sometimes they give you a week's notice, but not this year I don't think.
Click to expand
Let's review.
Before we can have this…
…or this…
From hard-working Steve Nguyen
…we're going to have to have this:
(I remember it as if it were just two years ago…)
"The Great Tow of 2011:
One car gets away in the nick of time, but three others aren't so lucky:
Ted and Al's had like ten yellow tow trucks ready to go late Saturday night, in the driving rain. (Note how Bank of America is protecting its windows – the IndyBay crowd got to them, smashy smashy, about a year or so back, unrelated to Bay to Breakers.)
Now, speaking of prêt-à-porters, this is the main body, this is the largest array for the Golden Gate Park Panhandle:
And here's the second-biggest grouping, along Masonic:
And there are some on the other side of Fell, typically in groups of six on some of the blocks.
But that's it.
Not sure where B2B is hiding their 1000+ portable toilets claimed for 2011, at this point, just hours before the Kenyans take off on their winning runs.
Oh well.
And there's no sign of the fencing neither, except for what they have every year.
We'll see.
The Great Fence of B2B100 is supposed to have upon it either images of Christ hand-selected by P. Anschutz or photos of people who ran the race before white NIMBYs moved into the Western Addition. (You'll have to tell me about it…). Anyway, here's the baby fencing they have on scene already along with, and isn't this cute, a message from San Francisco Natives for a Fun and Buzzed Bay to Breakers. Apparently, the cops can't arrest for an open container in San Francisco…
And doesn't this just break your heart – this Vespa scooter has been forgotten on the slopes of the famed Hayes Street Hill, the second highest point on the "racecourse." Will Auto-Return charge $700 for its return?
Remember, Transit First.
All right, have a great Bay to Breakers 100!
Sucker Watch: Most Participants Won't Pay to Enter the 2013 Bay to Breakers Fun Run So Why Should You?Tuesday, April 30th, 2013
Oh, you are a sucker. Well, then be my guest – pay $48 for a number. And actually, and you'll enjoy this, sucker, it's already too late to get a good deal on registration for 2013. Prices be higher now.
Most people who aren't professional runners don't pay and here's a good reason not to pay:
Your money goes directly to "Christian Billionaire" Philip Anschutz.
And then he takes your $$$$$ and uses it to, over the years, oppose the concept of evolution and fund anti-gay efforts.
(It's funny that he even took an interest in this historic fun run and street party but he likes running so there y0u go.)
The reason that organizers won't say how many "bandits" show up for the party is because they don't want you to think that most people don't pay.
But, IRL, most people don't pay.
If you don't believe me then take a NSFW look right here.
How many bibs do you see? Every year they say they will eject all these people and every year they don't actually do it.
Now the San Francisco Nike Womens Marathon is different. You see, they give out coveted awards and people just can't help themselves. And then stuff like this happens; "NO BIB NO BIB NO BIB!"
But B2B aint like that.
One difference this year will be a limit on the size of the bags you might carry.
It's like the size of Fook Mi's backpack, best I can imagine.
Click to expand
All right, have a great 2013 B2B.
And if you want to pay money to somebody, just take whatever your reg fee is and give it to Pride or whatever.
End Of Line.
Craigslist to Sponsor Bay to Breakers 2013 – All the Deets – Conservative Denver Billionaire + Craig Newmark = ???Wednesday, April 3rd, 2013
1. Hey, does christian activist Phillip Anschutz still own AEG? I think so. And AEG still owns the Bay to Breakers civic street party and fun run? And Obama donor Craig Newmark / Craigslist just made a sponsoring deal with B2B? How does that square? I mean, I'm seeing "April 1st, 2013″ here. Am I missing something? You pay money to advertise a job on craigslist and it goes to Mr. Burns IRL in Colorado so he can use it to attack the concept of evolution? Mmmm…
2. Here's something – one time Craig Newmark had to admonish "craigslist CEO Jim Buckmaster" for celebrating the vandalization of my Toyota after it got messed up on Ashbury. That was a like a decade ago, just saying. Ill tell you, that Jim Buckmaster isn't your typical wealthy millionaire CEO-type. Anyway, it cost me $200 and State Farm like $2600, oh well.
3. Back before Google semi-censored naughty images, this shot here was the number image result in Google Images when people searched for the phrase Bay to Breakers. The problem was that a local money-making sports website claimed it as its own. That was going too far, IMO. Had to put my foot down on that one.
Good times on Fell Street:

Here's How the "Drop Charge Against Petrelis" Blogspot is Dead Wrong About Attempted Bathroom Penis Photo TakingThursday, February 7th, 2013
Here's how the "Drop Charge Against Petrelis" Blogspot looks at things:
"Page 5 of the transcript illustrates how the DA's office frames the taking of a photograph: "The conduct in this case amount to a gross invasion of privacy." Let's get real! While Michael's action can be seen as an annoyance, the innocuous photograph hardly warrants such an overblown mischaracterization."
But here's the reality, from the webpage entitled "peaking-at-wieners-wiener-in-city-hall"
"Of all the luck an activist could ask for in terms of an impromptu run-in with an ambitious homosexual politician of the Democratic persuasion. My new camera was ready for use in the second floor men's room at City Hall on Friday afternoon when I walked in. Scott Wiener was standing at the urinal and had just started to tinkle as I entered and the camera took 4-6 seconds to focus, enough time for him to put away his wiener and zipper up."
If Michael Petrelis is unapologetic then he's forcing the DA's office into a prosecution.
Any money "wasted" on this action is on M. Petrelis and not on SFGov.
Simply, M Petrelis is not being oppressed by SFGov.
So this kind of thing is absurd:
"Needless to say, as an independent blogger who frequently displeases the powerful and politicians with access to law enforcement agencies that create legal hassles for me, I stand in strong solidarity…"
Just saying.
A Few Questions for Blogger Michael Petrelis of the Petrelis Files re: the Scott Wiener Bathroom IncidentWednesday, December 5th, 2012
So, let's see here.
1. The idea of taking a photo of Supervisor Scott Wiener's weiner in a bathroom was good because…
Because why? I don't get it.
2. Making a federal case (potentially, eventually), a cause celebre, out of this incident is helpful because…
Because why? I don't get it.
And you say you "allegedly" attempted to violate Section 647(j)(1) of the California Penal Code because, like, you don't know what you actually did and why you did it?'
Isn't that the kind of thing criminals say?
I think so.
Here's what you should do, you apologize.
You say:
1. I'm sorry for what I did. I got carried away over the whole nudity ban thing (or whatever it was) and I did something I shouldn't have. I won't do anything like that ever again; and
2. You say it like you mean it, whether you mean it or not.
And if you had done that already, then we wouldn't be here with you wasting your time and the time and money of other people, like taxpayers 'n stuff.
Just saying…

Loyal EAW and Mackie
user Jimmy James
didn't expect to be shaken before stirring up the crowd during one of
his gigs at a Florida beach this summer. Neither did his gear. While stopped
behind a line of cars at a stoplight, a semi truck slammed into the back
of Jimmy's new minivan, sandwiching it between the semi and the cars in
front of him. Fortunately, Jimmy was not seriously hurt. It appeared at
first, however, that his Mackie mixer and two EAW loudspeakers were not
so lucky.
"Ouch. There was nothing
left of the van," Jimmy recalled. "Most of my gear was squashed. The EAW
LA212's took a direct hit. One speaker even had a tear in the metal
grill and a pushed in dust cover on the woofer. The other one was dented
and the jack panel came loose. They both had parts rattling around inside.
I thought for sure they were toast."
Upon returning home
later that evening, Jimmy set the rig up in his house to assess the damages.
"I couldn't believe my ears," he exclaimed. "The speakers sounded like
new! At my next gig, I plugged in the LA212s (despite the dangling jack
panel) and they sounded fine! They're looking a little rough now, but
overall, I'm really impressed."
So what about the
Mackie 1202 that was also in the back of that crumpled mini van? "Even
my Mackie
1202 VLZ-Pro mixer got tossed around a bit, creating a few dents and
scratches," commented Jimmy. "It still works as if nothing ever happened!
The mixer was in an SKB case, which got crunched from the top. The SKB
case is dust, but my mixer works like new!"
Along with the
EAW speakers, Jimmy put the traumatized 1202 to work at his very
next gig. "My tuner had a cracked faceplate and my compressor died,
but I was able to us all the rest of my gear without a problem.
WellÉexcept for the microphone standÉwhich is now in the shape of
an 'L'.
" During his
career, Jimmy has worked with popular rock bands Bad Company and
Tommy Tutone. He occasionally sets up themed rock shows and works
with local Florida nightclubs as an entertainment manager. Jimmy
also designs and installs sound reinforcement systems at nightclubs,
churches and homes in Florida, using only EAW speakers.
"Like all musicians,
I'm very opinionated about the equipment that I use and sound quality
has always been issue No. 1," Jimmy affirmed. "But when something
like this (the accident) happens, it just adds merit to the gear
that it can stand up to severe situations."

The Washington County Commission on Monday approved a $5.9 million, 10-year agreement with Waste Management to send its solid waste to Johnson City-owned Iris Glen Environmental Landfill.
The agreement, when completed, will be the first between the two entities, and it is expected to save the county more than $2 million in that time, or about $213,000 a year.
"One benefit is we will limit our fuel costs by going to the closest landfill," County Mayor Dan Eldridge said. "It just turns out Waste Management operates Iris Glen and they also came in with the low bid. We would like the commission to give this a thumb's up so we can get locked in."
Willie Shrewsbury, the county's purchasing agent, will now get to work on finalizing a contract with the company.
The county received bids from Advanced Disposal Services, which opened a new landfill in Blountville last year and serves Kingsport; Republic Services, which operates Carter Valley Landfill in Hawkins County; and Waste Management, which came in at a $26.65 per-ton cost. That is $15.85 less per ton than the county has been paying.
Solid Waste Department Director Charlie Baines said a company traditionally will raise their rates by at least 1 percent each year, but with the new agreement, they can't raise rates.
The county will continue to maintain its five convenience centers and continue to use county vehicles to transport the waste from the centers to Iris Glen. Transportation costs have been calculated at $2.25 a mile, rising 3 percent a year.
The county has spent an average of about $627,000 a year to haul waste from its convenience centers to Iris Glen. That figure is based on averages from the past two years and includes number of trips, transportation costs, disposal costs and the tipping fee.
During the middle of its meeting Monday, Commissioner Roger Nave read aloud a prepared statement claiming Eldridge had been in Nashville the past few weeks lobbying against certain annexation bills favored by a majority of commissioners.
He specifically pointed out an April 6 story in the Johnson City Press in which he and Ferguson said made it appear as though Eldridge was representing Washington County government.
"It's the way it reads," Ferguson said.
Sixteen days have passed since publication, and neither Nave nor Ferguson have contacted the Press with questions about the article during that time.
"I did not travel to Nashville to lobby, I traveled to Nashville as a representative of the Washington County Economic Development Council. I found not one but eight annexation bills, and I was concerned about a 'one size fits all' solution," Eldridge said.
He was referring to a Senate bill that would have place a two-year moratorium on city-initiated annexations. A bill recently cleared both the House and the Senate that places a one-year moratorium on these types of annexation.
"Your'e not telling the truth," Nave told Eldridge.
"Well, would you care to be a little more specific?" Eldridge asked.
"That's all I have to say," Nave said.
In the article, Eldridge is cited as suggesting to legislators that if the moratorium could not be removed from the bill that a caveat be inserted that would allow cities and counties to have the option of negotiating remedies themselves.

ASA Cheers DOL Decision to Re-Write Controversial Child Labor Regulations
Press Release by Issuing Company
Sunday, February 5th, 2012
February 3, 2012…St. Louis, Mo…. In response to a Wednesday's announcement from the U.S. Department of Labor that it will re-examine draft rules that relate to youth working on farms, American Soybean Association President Steve Wellman releases the following statement in support of the move:
"The American Soybean Association is pleased that the Department of Labor has agreed to re-write onerous draft rules that would have negatively impacted the ability of youth to work on family farms and gain agricultural experience. The soybean industry and agriculture as a whole puts safety at the vanguard of our operations. A successful farm is a safe farm, and ASA supports efforts to ensure that children are kept out of potentially hazardous situations in the farm workplace. We also know that on-farm experience is a great teacher and part of the rural tradition that has made our country and farm families strong. ASA was concerned that the Labor Department's proposed rules would have greatly impacted the ability of youth to gain these experiences, so we are pleased that the rules now will be rewritten."
The American Soybean Association represents all U.S. soybean farmers on domestic and international issues of importance to the soybean industry. ASA's advocacy efforts are made possible through the voluntary membership in ASA by more than 21,000 farmers in 31 states where soybeans are grown.

CAMILLA -- Roye Elizabeth Sizemore McCarty, 91, of Camilla died Wednesday, June 12, 2013 at her residence in Camilla.
Funeral services will be 11:00 a.m. Friday, June 14 at Parker-Bramlett Funeral Home with Rev. William Collins officiating. Private graveside services will follow.
Born March 15, 1922 in Mitchell County, Mrs. McCarty was the daughter of the late Eddie Martin and Johnnie Mae Haire Sizemore. She was married to the late James Emory McCarty. She graduated from Pelham High School in 1940 and stated that her class was the last to wear white dresses for commencement exercises. During the 1940's, she enjoyed being a stay at home mother to her two oldest children and along the side of her husband, they farmed and lived on the old O.P. Sapp farm located on the historic Hawthorne Trail in Camilla. In the fifties, Mrs. McCarty had two more children and also began her work career outside of the home at Watson's Supermarket. She worked as the clerk/cashier for over 30 years and learned the business of purchasing produce off the trucks of local farmers. She enjoyed inspecting varieties of fresh produce and developed a strong relationship with small farmers in the area. She also instigated one of the first home delivery services for busy mothers who did not have the time to shop for their families. She would take down the grocery list over the phone from the customer, hand pick the groceries, check them out, bag them, and prepare them to be loaded on the delivery truck to be received by families at their homes. It was at this time that she became known to all as "Miss Roye", a name that stayed with her throughout her life.
In 1962, she became a widow with four children to raise. She had to make decisions and sold the family farm and home place. Mrs. McCarty built her own home, purchased her automobiles, and became the strong matriarch her family needed to survive. She began her Christian life at her parents home and then joined the First Baptist Church of Pelham, but upon marriage converted to Methodist and joined the Camilla United Methodist Church, where she also was a member of the Sunday School Class. She was preceded in death by a granddaughter, Kristy McCarty; sisters, Edrie Vick and Barbara Regent; and family companion, Janie Byrd.
Survivors include one daughter, Marsha Jean Weaver of Camilla; three sons, James Emory McCarty, Jr. of Camilla, Eddie Sapp McCarty & wife, Marcy, of Camilla, and Jody Mark McCarty & wife, Susie, of Camilla; two sisters, Jean Pitts of Camilla and Myrtle McNeil Wall of Newton; one brother, James Sizemore of Hogansville; five grandchildren, Mia Farrow, James Wood, Jennifer McCarty, Mary Anne Wood, and Mark McCarty, Jr.; and a number of great grandchildren and several nieces and nephews. She is also survived by her husband's first cousin, James David Sapp, Jr. of Camilla.
Visitation will be from 10 - 11 a.m., Friday, one hour before services, at Parker-Bramlett Funeral Home in Camilla.
Memorials may be made to Camilla United Methodist Church, Children's Ministry, P. O. Box 192, Camilla, GA 31730.

ELIZABETHTON — Although the Carter County School System faces nearly $1 million in needs over last year, Director of Schools Kevin Ward once again expressed his goal of presenting a balanced budget to the County Commission with no increases in the property tax rate for schools.
Ward stated his goal during Monday's meeting of a workshop session of the Carter County School Board.
Although there is still uncertainty about the school system's revenue and expenses for next fiscal year, County Finance Director Ingrid Deloach said the school budget is $102,000 from being balanced and Ward felt confident that amount could be found.
If the schools system does meet Ward's goal, it will be a remarkable achievement. Deloach said a total of $462,500 in one-time cuts from last year must be restored this year. Deloach said that included $300,000 for textbooks, $75,000 for library costs, $20,000 for maintenance equipment, $19,000 for school bands and many other items. Added to these restored cuts, the county schools must also find the funds for an expected increase of $300,000 in insurance costs and $75,000 for a new mowing contract.
Another big impact is the continued loss of revenue to the Elizabethton City School System because of the growing number of students in the city schools while the number of students in the county schools declines. Deloach estimates that would mean the county would lose $106,000 to the city next year.
Deloach said all of these impacts means the county has a need for $943,500 in additional expenses next year.
To meet this need, Ward is proposing several major cuts. By far and the most controversial cut is the proposal to close Range Elementary School. It is estimated the closure will save the county $460,000. Four teaching positions would also be eliminated, saving $193,000. Another $100,000 would be saved by not purchasing school buses next year. A bus garage position would be eliminated, saving $34,000. Cuts to instructional equipment would save $9,500.
That leaves Ward with $102,000 more to cut.
Ward told the board these were only preliminary figures and "lots of things could change," but he expected to meet his goal of balancing the school budget without raising taxes.
While those considerations were with the money generated from county funds, several supervisors said there were also major challenges with the federal portion of the budget because of the loss of federal funding through sequestration. Special Education Director Carol Whaley said the cuts from sequestration are to be made so that they have the least impact on students.
While discussing the funding challenges, Ward said the decision by Carter County voters a few years ago to approve a referendum to provide the county schools with a half cent of the local option sales tax for school capital projects has been vital.
"If it hadn't been for the money, we would be hurting," Ward said.
Some of that money will be used by the school board to upgrade security systems at the schools. That will include more security cameras and replacing the current DVRs with newer, more sophisticated models.

The defensive midfielder will join subject to a medical, and Roberto Mancini hailed his arrival, though seemed disrespectful to Everton as he swooped for their star.
"He is a good, young player. It will be the first time he is at a club that plays to win - it will be different for him," Mancini said.
"I am sure that in a couple of years he will be a top, strong midfielder because he has good quality.
"We are looking for other players, I don't know which players. I don't want to say, speak to [City's chief football operations officer] Brian Marwood. I am waiting and tomorrow we will have time to talk about new players."

Texans squander large lead, fall to Hawks 68-65January 13, 2013
LEVELLAND – If one were to look only at the final score of Saturday's anticipated matchup between the eleventh-ranked Texans and eighth-ranked Howard College, they might have confused it as a game for the ages as it came down to the wire – following two lopsided halves of play.
The South Plains College Texans looked to be back on track. Just two days ago, they turned a close game with Midland College into a 19-point victory and looked to be riding the momentum that helped them close out their game with the Chaps as they tore out of the gates to an early 12-point lead and, ultimately, a commanding 13-point lead at halftime, 40-27.
Yanick Moreira set the tone early, blocking the first two Howard College shots of the day after putting the Texans on the board first with a 12-foot jump shot. Moreira even earned a snazzy assist when he found Ryan Martin early in the game; giving every indication he was going to have an all-around night.
Kendahl Amerson got hot early, nailing a 3 that put the Texans up 9-7 and began a 12-2 run that put the Texans in control early.
The second half started much the same as the first half, only this time Howard controlled the tempo.
Aside from two free throws by Terrence Durham, South Plains was unable to convert a field goal until Amerson hit a 3-point bucket nearly four minutes into the second half. Still up ten, 45-35, the Texans still held a nice advantage.
The Hawks made their move following the 13-minute media timeout when, down 48-38, they went on a 15-3 scoring run that gave them their first lead since the opening 90-seconds of the contest.
And so, the game many anticipated might come down to the end began when the contest was more than three-quarters over.
Over the next seven minutes, the game would see four tied scores and with just over a minute remaining the two teams found themselves knotted up at 64 when freshman forward Ryan Martin turned a missed attempt by Devonte Smith into a basket and was able to give SPC a one-point lead after being fouled and making the free throw attempt.
On their next trip down the court, Howard's DaShaun Wiggins was fouled by Amerson as he made a basket down low and would put the Hawks up by two when he made his free throw attempt.
A missed jumper by Moreira at the top of the key was way off the mark, prompting Moreira to quickly foul Rico Richardson. Richardson would go on to make 1-of-2 at the line.
An attempt to tie the game by Devonte Smith in the waning seconds missed its mark, sending South Plains to their first loss, 68-65, in conference play since falling to Odessa on Feb. 10, 2011. The loss also snaps a 20 game home winning streak for the Texans.
South Plains falls to 13-3 overall and 2-1 in the Western Junior College Athletic Conference while Howard improves to 14-2 and are tied with the Texans in the WJCAC standings at 2-1.
After shooting 63-percent from the field in the first half on 17-of-27 shooting from the field, the Texans were only able to convert 7-of-27 in the second half.
Amerson led the Texans with 20 points and Moreira finished the game with 13 points and seven rebounds, though only three points and two boards come in the back half.
A tough road trip to Hobbs, N.M., is next for the Texans, where they will face the NJCAA No. 15-ranked T-Birds of New Mexico Junior College, whom Steve Green has a 24-1 record against as head coach of the Texans. Tip-off is scheduled for 8:45 p.m. Central Standard time.
Live video and statistics for the Texans game versus the T-Birds will be available at www.spctexans.com. Michael Wiiest will call the courtside action that can also be found on the air at KLVT 1230 AM and online at www.klvtradio.com.

HALF: GWU leads No. 12 Charleston Southern, 20-0
For the last two games, it was fumbles and penalties that plagued Gardner-Webb.
Saturday, the Runnin' Bulldogs scored 20 points in the first half thanks to a pair of special teams mistakes and an interception coupled with five Charleston Southern penalties to lead 20-0 at halftime.
The Buccaneers (10-1, 3-0 Big South) couldn't generate much offense with their triple option attack, getting just 8 yards on the ground on 22 carries.
The mistakes started on the third play of the game.
Chad Geter got into the mix early after Buccaneer quarterback Daniel Croghan attempted a pass on third down.
Preston Pemasa tipped the pass right into the hands of Geter who fell ahead to the Charleston Southern 15.
Two plays later, running back Juanne Blount skirted the right side for an 8-yard touchdown, putting the Runnin' Bulldogs up 7-0 early in the first quarter.
The Runnin' Bulldogs had another opportunity after a miscue by Charleston Southern punter Truett Burns' punt hit a Buccaneer defender in the helmet and netted 6 yards, giving GWU the ball at their own 44.
Quarterback Lucas Beatty started slow, throwing two incomplete passes in a row in the drive before hitting Kenny Cook in double-coverage for a first down.
After sputtering, kicker Jordan Day bounced in a 34-yard field goal that hit off the left crossbar to put the Runnin' Bulldogs up 10-0 with 3 minutes, 2 seconds left in the first quarter.
The Buccaneers continued to struggle on their third drive after Croghan fumbled a pitch to Zac Frazier. Frazier was able to fall on the ball for a 3-yard loss.
Croghan recovered by hitting Larry Jones III on a slant pattern for a 28-yard pick up and a first down on the next play.
However, the GWU defense contained the option attack and forced Charleston Southern to punt for the second time in the game.
The GWU offense got creative on their third drive.
After Cook caught a 31-yard reception over the middle, Beatty handed off to Blount who flicked the ball back to Beatty. Beatty then hit tight end Seth Cranfill at the Buccaneer 11.
Two plays later, Beatty hit Cook on a 4-yard touchdown pass, extending the Runnin' Bulldog lead to 17-0.
GWU was the beneficiary of good field position following another special teams mistake by Charleston Southern. Burns mishandled a punt snap and was wrapped up by Justin Miller at the CHS 16.
A 27-yard field goal by Day moved the GWU lead to 20-0 with 3:31 left in the half.
Gardner-Webb had 169 yards of total offense led by Cook's 75 yards receiving.

Kodagu BJP leaders, on Wednesday, demanded an unconditional apology from the president of the 80th All India Kannada Sahitya Sammelan Na. D'Souza for favouring the implementation of the K. Kasturirangan committee report in the district and wanted a resolution passed opposing the report at the end of the sammelan scheduled to conclude on Thursday.
Speaking to presspersons here at a hurriedly convened press conference, Virajpet MLA K.G. Bopaiah said that Mr. D'Souza, in an interview with All India Radio here on Tuesday, had stated that the Kasturirangan committee report must be implemented to save the Western Ghats. He had indirectly favoured the implementation of the report in his presidential address as well, Mr. Bopaiah said.
It was even published in a section of the press here, Mr. Bopaiah stated. People had been calling BJP leaders questioning the party's stand on the statements made by Mr. D'Souza, he said.
The opposition to the Kasturirangan committee report was unanimous in the district and discussions had taken place cutting across party lines, Mr. Bopaiah stated. There was even a proposal to observe a bandh on Tuesday but it was dropped by a samiti opposing the Kasturirangan committee report following assurances given by the Chief Minister to a delegation from Kodagu recently.
Both he and Madikeri MLA M.P. Appachu Ranjan did not raise the issue at the sammelan as they thought it would amount to disrespect, Mr. Bopaiah said.
Asked what would happen if the sammelan did not pass a resolution against the implementation of the report, Mr. Ranjan said that the issue would be left to the samiti that had issued a bandh call earlier.

Great piece of equipment. Good protection, style, fit, and ventilation. Always satisfied with Smith products. Highly recommended for all snow sport enthusiasts.
Great buy...Smith quality!
By Sabes
from Hammondsport, NY
Great buy and a good overall helmet that seems true to size. My only slightly negative critique is that the interior padding is not sufficient. The lack of good padding forced me to wear a thin liner hat under the helmet... I would prefer to just wear the helmet w/out the liner, but it's a bit hard in places.
Great Helmet

Love it!
By Christy
from Sacramento, CA
I love this helmet. Most of the helmets I tried on were pretty loose in a size small but this one fit perfectly. I can even wear it with a thin beanie. Plus it is comfy because it is so lightweight, while still offering good protection.
By eRock
from Reno, NV
I love this helmet. It is very simple and lightweight. While wearing this helmet it doesn't look like your in the video game Halo like other helmets. Protect yourself! It's not a matter of if you fall, but when you fall and hit your head are you going to be able to get up and make it down the mountain on your own?

The Secret Life of Words is a 2005 Spanish film, directed by Isabel Coixet and starring Sarah Polley and Tim Robbins. The film was released on December 15, 2006 and grossed a worldwide total of $6,410,058.[2]
Taciturn, partially deaf Hanna (Polley) is a Yugoslavian native working in a factory in Northern Ireland. She is forced to take a vacation by her boss, who tells her that her co-workers have been offended by her lack of socializing. After overhearing a conversation about a need for a nurse, she takes on a job as private nurse for burn victim Josef (Robbins). He is bedridden on an offshore oil rig after a fire on the rig, and has severe burns and is temporarily blinded. The rig is not operational awaiting an investigation, and few people remain on board.
Hanna talks very little, and especially does not want to talk about herself. Despite his pain, Josef is constantly making jokes, some of them humorous sexual advances. Hanna's care for him includes holding the urinal and washing his entire body. As they get closer, they start sharing their experiences. Unbeknownst to him, she listens over and over again to a message on his cell phone from a mysterious woman who was in love with him.
Hanna learns from a colleague that Josef was injured while trying to save a man who committed suicide by intentionally throwing himself into the oil-rig fire. Some other tragic connection between the two men is implied. He tells about a near-drowning experience because he cannot swim. Eventually Josef confides to Hanna his greatest secret guilt, and she tells him about her previous life in the former Yugoslavia. She describes in detail the horrors she endured during the Balkan Wars (Yugoslav Wars), including being kidnapped and repeatedly raped. She tells of her own repeated torture and lets him feel the scars on her body from the wounds inflicted on her.
Josef is not getting better, and at Hanna's initiative he is air-lifted off the oil rig to be taken to a hospital. When the helicopter lands, Josef wants Hanna to accompany him, but she walks away without a word. However, she leaves behind a backpack (apparently intentionally), and it contains enough information to give Josef a chance to find her. After he recovers, Josef travels to Denmark to visit a counselor that Hanna had seen after fleeing the war, seeking to learn more about her. He then tracks her down at the factory in Northern Ireland where she works. They talk, and at first she keeps her distance, saying she couldn't be with him because she thinks one day she could drown them both in her sorrow. When he tells her that he will "learn to swim," she reciprocates the love.

October is well known for its wet weather. Cold, damp days are a sure indication winter is slowly creeping in. With this in mind, we will focus this month's article on the watery constellation namely Aquarius [2] – the Water Bearer and Pisces – the Fishes.
Reflecting back to the 1970s, the musical group "Fifth Dimension" released a hit song named the "Age of Aquarius. The song starts off with, "When the moon is in the seventh house and Jupiter aligns with Mars, and peace will guide the planets…" you get the picture. Well Jupiter and Mars are pretty well consumed in the Sun's glow and nowhere near our host constellation, but Uranus [3] is up and well placed for viewing.
Holding just under naked eye visibility, this somewhat magnitude 5.8 fuzzy greenish blue dot is quite pleasant looking, even at its amazing 2.9 billion kilometer distance. Observers equipped with large telescopes and CCD camera can pick up a few of the magnitude 16.5 moons of Uranus. Isn't technology wonderful?
Considered to be the last two Messier objects to be found during the annual Messier marathon, M72 [4] and M73 are located in the bottom right area of the Water Bearer. The Messier Marathon occurs around the third week of March. If the moon is fairly close to new, telescope owners can catch all 110 Messiers in one night from dusk to dawn. Residing some 55,000 light years (ly) and past the galaxy's centre, M72 glows at magnitude 9.3. M72 is however, not a very concentrated object. Move three lunar widths to the left and you will stumble over the four stars referred as M73 [5]. This grouping is a lot closer at only 2,500 ly away.
Head NNE from M72 by about three degrees until you come across the Saturn Nebula [6] – NGC 7009. This unusually looking object sits only 2,400 ly years away and glows at 8th magnitude. This planetary appears stellar in low power telescopes as opposed to larger instruments which helps bring out the vivid green colour.
If you are game for a bright globular cluster (and who isn't) move up to M2 [7]. This highly resolved object contains an estimated 100,000 members and shines at magnitude 6.5. This gem lies more than 50,000 ly away and is some 150 ly wide. Talk about tight quarters.
Still in the western side of Aquarius, be sure to stop by the galactic duo of NGC 6962 [8] and smaller 6964. These two have registered magnitudes of 12.0 and 12.7 respectively with the primary being an estimated 180 million ly away. Marching on to the centre of Aquarius, we come across NGC 7302 [9]. The S04 elliptical galaxy has a bright core and naturally no arm structure. This splash of grey is estimated magnitude 12.1.
Before we leave the Water Bearer, stop by the Helix Nebula [10]. Cataloged as NGC 7293, this planetary is the closest of its kind to us. Living on 450 ly away, its close proximity allows for excellent seeing. At magnitude 7.3, this planetary is about half the angular size of the moon.
One, if not the nicest object residing in Pisces is the bright face-on galaxy, M74 [11]. Glowing at magnitude 9.4 this spiral is an estimated 30 million ly from us. Amongst its 100 billion suns are pinkish nebula and clusters of young blue stars. The galaxy is roughly the same size as the Milky Way's.
Another galaxy double appears as NGC 128 [12] and 125. Separated by one fifth that of the Moon's width, NGC 128 and 125 have magnitudes of 11.6 and 12.3 respectively.
NGC 488 [13] is a compact galaxy with a bright core and tightly wound spiral arms. Located some 35 arc minutes west of Alrisha at 90 million ly, it still shines at a decent 10.8 magnitude. Photographs will bring out its delicate arm structure. And finally within two thirds the moon's width is the trio of NGC 467, 470 and 474. Fairly close in brightness to each other, their brightness are listed at 11.9, 11.9 and 11.1 respectively.
The Harvest moon will occur on the 7th at 23:13 eastern time and on the night of October 9 – 10, the Moon will glide over the Pleiades (M45). Depending where you live, our natural satellite will vary in the coverage of the cluster's members. By 1:05 a.m. eastern on the 10th, the moon will be in mid occultation. With good weather, it should be a great show.
This month we sadly say goodbye to Jupiter in the western sky. Although many transits are predicted, you might have a bit of a challenge fight with atmospheric turbulence. To replace this gem, we have the Lord of the rings climbing over the east at around 2:30 a.m. locally. And speaking of Saturn, congratulations to David H. Levy in discovering Comet Levy C/2006 T1 [14] (Levy). David picked up this interstellar visitor on the morning of October 2nd, only .6 degrees (lunar width) from Saturn. At first he thought it was a ghost reflection of the planet itself.
Meteors, commonly referred to as shooting star can be viewed on any clear night. Earth however will be passing through the weak debris left by Halley's Comet. The Orionid [15] meteor shower is a modest display, peaking on the night of the 21st. On this night the maximum number seen by a single observer should be between 20 and 25 incoming bits of comet dust. But even at maximum, this shower has been known to drop of in numbers. You should still round up the family and head out under dark skies and witness Mother Nature's fireworks in motion.
Twice a year namely in the spring and fall, when the ecliptic is at its steepest, Earth dwellers can catch the soft glow of the zodiacal light [16]. At these special times, dust from our solar system reflects sun light and forms a huge faint cone of light measuring about 30 degrees above the eastern horizon. Many people have probably seen it but thought it was simple light pollution. Your two week window occurs after new moon (Oct 22nd).
Until next month, clear skies everyone.

Wildcat Mascot
The Wildcat mascot originated during the 1976-77 academic year at UK. Gary Tanner was the original Wildcat, dancing and entertaining thousands of UK fans at Commonwealth Stadium and Rupp Arena during athletics events.
A few years later, he was joined by another Cat - walking on stilts - who made his appearance during UK's twin tower era of Melvin Turpin and Sam Bowie. Even today, the original mascot is joined by Scratch, who's a more child-friendly mascot and serves as the host of UK's official Kids Club.
Today, both mascots attend each football and basketball game, several academic functions and generally serve as friendly ambassadors for the University.
In Fall 2003 and 2004, Scratch was named to the Capital One All-America Mascot Teams and competed for the title of the Capital One Mascot of the Year.

About Us
Cornstalk Heights Historical Community Organization (CHHCO) a non-profit organization was started in 1990, when Killiffer Park, one of the communities premier parks, was under threat of being sold with construction of a planned housing project in its place. A community organization was formed to protect and save not only the park, but the surrounding historic home district in Harriman as well. The organization successfully applied to the National Historic Register and became offiicially recognized as Cornstalk Heights Historical Community Organization. The application was partially approved due to the communities uniqueness in being one of the first "planned" communities in the county.
For more than 20 years the community has typically held its premier event, The Christmas Tour of Homes, on the second Saturday and Sunday in December. Participating home owners go to great length to prepare and decorate their homes, usually in the Christmas spirit, for visitors to enjoy. Generally, 8-12 homes participate, along with churches and public buildings. Over the years, additional events have been added and are currently being planned and designed to highlight this wonderful community.

Michael Lord -- opening his doors again
In May 2006 I blogged about Michael Lord going to jail, about my impressions of him and what his dishonest business practices cost us all. In that entry, I said his gallery was almost certainly gone for good.
Not so.
Michael Lord has been out of jail for some time and quietly going about his business as a private dealer, from what I've been told, utilizing his space on Milwaukee St. That, unto itself, is not terribly surprising.
But Michael opened his doors on Gallery Night and invited the public in, according to a gallery owner who was in neighborhood that night.
Would Michael -- who in many ways showed some of the best art in town -- open a public space again? What would that mean for our city and art scene?

Angry Birds Space is now the biggest launch yet for Rovio, but the company isn't stopping here, promising "something bigger" in the future
Angry Birds Space is now the fastest growing mobile game of all time, after reaching a stunning 50 million downloads in just 35 days since it went on sale for iOS, Android and more.
The latest installement, which has had to vie with the likes of Draw Something for its headlines this type around, smashes the previous mark set it set with Angry Birds Rio, according to a statement from its Finnish developer Rovio.
It also reached the 50 million mark two weeks faster than Draw Something, which has become an Angry Birds-esque phenomenon in recent weeks.
The figures, which also include downloads on PC and Mac, wll come as a huge boost to the company, proving there's more longevity in the series than many had previously thought.
The company says: "Angry Birds Space hit 50 million downloads within 35 days, making it the fastest growing mobile game yet and breaking all our previous records. This has been simply amazing, and the whole Rovio team is thrilled to see such a fantastic reception for the game.
"We extend our deepest gratitude to all fans of Angry Birds everywhere. While numbers like this certainly say something about the popularity of Angry Birds, for us the main goal is to keep creating fun new experiences that everybody can enjoy! We just launched the first free update for Angry Birds Space, with plenty more surprises in stock."
Rovio, which added ten new levels to the space-age title just last week also hinted that this is by no means the last time we'll see the Angry Birds take to the skies, promising grander releases in the future.
The statement added: "There's only one conclusion to draw: something even bigger is on its way! Stay tuned and keep flinging those Birds!"
Hmmm. "draw: something"? They couldn't mean that. Could they?

Securities firms not allowed to lend to stock investors: SSC
Securities companies are not allowed to lend money to customers to purchase securities, except for other rules issued by the Ministry of Finance.
This is one of the important contents of the draft circular on the regulation on organisation and operation of securities companies that the State Securities Commission has sent out for comments.
In addition, according to the draft circular, securities companies are not allowed to make agreement or give a specific interest rate or share profits/losses to customers to entice customers to participate in the transactions.
Moreover, securities companies are not allowed to provide financing or guarantees to shareholders either directly or indirectly; not to lend any kind of loans to major shareholders and members of the supervision boards.
Securities companies must have separate management of stocks and money of individual investors with cash and securities of securities firms, not allowed to use the transaction payment of customers and properties entrusted by customers.
Securities companies "tighten their belts"
A series of securities companies are now "tightening their belts" and downsizing their operations in the context of bearish securities trading.
In May alone, many securities companies announced suspension of transaction offices or affiliates such as Wall Street trading Office, Indo-China, ViettinBank Securities, Vietnam Star, Vina Securities and others.
Some securities companies have closed many of their transaction offices such as ACB Securities Company Ltd Which recently closed two transactions rooms (one in District 4 and one in District 5, HCM City). Previously, the company also closed one transaction in District 10, HCM City.
Thang Long Securities Company, the market leader in HOSE and HOSE for two consecutive years, also announced the closure of two offices in Hanoi and HCM City. According to some securities firms, narrowing the activities and personnel cuts are inevitable to reduce costs when liquidity in the stock market dropped sharply and stood at a low level in a long time.

Lobo TV press conference video
Head Coach Mike Locksley
(opening statement)"As a program we're excited about having a chance to come play here at home. There are so many benefits to playing at home. Our fans don't realize the impact they can have on the outcome of a game by coming in, supporting us, and creating that homefield advantage. I've said many a time that it's our job, as coaches and players, to put a product out on the field that brings fans in. That's what we're here to do and that's what we will do."
"We won't be defined by one game (the season-opening loss to Texas A&M). Win or lose, one game won't define our program. As I said before it was a renovation process (taking over the UNM program) and it's started. Now we can go about moving forward towards the vision that I have for us as a football program and that I'm sure the Lobo Nation has for us."
