Welcome To Del Norte High Classes 1953 To 1961 Reunion Website
Hi everyone,
Wanted to put a letter on our web site letting everyone know what a success the reunion was. Observing everyone so happy to see old friends and enjoying the 4 days is our reward for the time and efforts our team put in to it. Keeping it affordable is a goal we really strive to do and I think we did real well. I am still running into friends telling me it was so wonderful, even friends of those who came have heard from people who attended how nice it was. As I said on Sat. night it takes a team willing to spend time to meet, plan and help with decisions. Some I forgot to mention were, Jerry Cochran, Harold Tryon, Buddy Hoffman, Barney McClendon, John Van Dusen, George Mayer, Larry Lammers, Wayne and Joan Bolman, Charlie Mathews, Peggy Schager and Carmen Brooks. Jeri Thompson was a big help to Jeannette Mitola with all the paper work. Jeannette typed all your information that was sent, then sent it via email to George Niesen for editing, then he sent it to the printer. The booklet is amazing and can be ordered on a DVD for $10. Just contact Jeannette. A special thanks to Alan Lindley for doing the MC for us (at the last minute). What a trooper! We sat and discussed what I needed to cover and he did an excellent job with his natural enthusiasm and great personality. We would like to thank Art Aho for telling us about his many interesting experiences flying for three of our presidents and the CIA. A big thanks to Gary and Jean King for storing the decorations for another 5 years. Teryl Wakeman stored them 10 years ago. Someone else I forgot was Jimmy Williams. He came Thursday a.m. and helped Wes Ingram with all the curtains, plus many other tasks. Carl and Arlene Beckett were also very active and willing to do anything we needed. So many more helpers I know I have forgotten, but I thank them all for their enthusiasm and help. The teachers who came loved the reunion and are excited to come to the next one. Said they didn't have enough time to get around to see and visit everyone they wanted to. Every night was wonderful. I just wish more locals would have attended; they were missed and asked about, expecially by the ones who came such a distance The final day, Sunday we had two great guys, Butch Davis and Kenny Mattz who came early to get the briquettes going so they would be ready by noon. Thank you both so much. Thanks to everyone who brought salad and desserts making the picnic complete. The weather was perfect, sunny, warm and no wind. For using Mike Sullivan's office (Bill's son) for our meetings we donated $100. to the Bill Sullivan scholarship. Also gave $100 to the D.N. Boosters club for the help the boys from the football team gave us setting up and helping to decorate Thursday. Then on Sunday they helped cleanup. Just wanted to add one more note. I received a phone call from Kim (our photographer) and the pictures are ready. The prepaid pictures are being mailed and you can go online to her web site to view and purchase pictures. www:kimfloyd.smugmug.com Thank you for your patience. Any suggestions for the next reunion let any of us know and we will consider them. Hope you all enjoyed the reunion. Sincerely, Bonnie and the great crew.
This site is under construction.. and we will probably still be adding stuff up until the reunion. Thanks for your patience!

Big Bertha, world's largest tunnel-boring machine, lowered into starting position in Seattle
Posted By Wayne Grayson On June 5, 2013 @ 10:20 am In Construction News | No Comments
[1]With the digging of the Washington State Route 99 tunnel in Seattle scheduled to start in July, the Washington State Department of Transportation recently lowered the head of Big Bertha, the world's largest tunnel-boring machine, into the pit that will serve as its starting position.
Bertha made her triumphant arrival in Seattle at the beginning of April to much fanfare. [2]The $80 million machine traveled from Osaka, Japan to Seattle where it will dig the Route 99 tunnel beneath downtown Seattle. The tunnel will replace the 60-year-old Alaskan Way Viaduct at a cost of $3.1 billion.
According to Seattle's KOMO News, who has some great video of Bertha being lowered into the pit [3], the head of the tunnel-boring machine alone weighs 838 tons and is five stories tall.
Washington State DOT told KOMO everything is on schedule to begin boring in July. At a pace of about 30 feet per day, the tunnel is scheduled to open in 2015.

Is the demo worth downloading or should i wait for the game to release?
It's a good way to decide whether this game suits you or not. I like both Supreme Commander and C&C but some of my friends love one and sneer at the other title.
Unless your bandwidth is really priceless, why not DL the demo and give it a try?
I'm sure that it has a very good code too. Game runs very good on my pc.

PROFILE: Mentally challenged man battles small-minded stick figures, the damn "system" and an atrocious Beatles-cover soundtrack—Black Crowes sing "Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds" . . . talk about mental—to win custody of his young daughter. Think Dominick and Eugene meets Kramer vs. Kramermeets Rain Man meets Retards: What, They Think They're People?meets How Many Times Must John Lennon Die?SYMPTOMS: I assumed this would be just another "If we all could only be as warmhearted as the mentally disabled" movie in which the mentally disabled aren't presented as human beings but as the poorly modulated, cross-breeding outcomes of a Smurf and a performing chimp—Isn't that darling? They're holding balloons! I wish I were retarded! Indeed, the way the movie depicts the mentally disabled the only things missing are a bellman's cap and a PETA protest. What I didn't expect is its terrific shred of a premise: the story of a man with the intelligence of a 7-year-old and his 7-year-old daughter, who worries about surpassing her father. This is great stuff to build on. Unfortunately, that plot is soon paved over to allow a slew of single-celled characters—workaholic lawyer, frightened genius, angry child of workaholic lawyer—to inhabit the screen so that the retarded man can save them by showing them the power of love, a power he isn't aware he has because, well, you know. The movie gets so turned around that the lawyer screams at our feeble-minded angel, "You think you've got the market cornered on human suffering!" Maybe not, but after two hours of this, my ass could make a strong case. DIAGNOSIS: They are sooo cute . . . Not too close! I hear they'll eat your young.

Stan Romanek (pictured below), a controversial figure in the UFO community -- known for his claims of personal alien abduction and a dubious video allegedly showing an alien looking through a window in his house -- has been arrested on charges of "sexual exploitation of a child," according to a Loveland, Colo., Police Department press release.
Romanek, 51, of Loveland, had been the subject of a long-term investigation that began with a search warrant in April 2013.
"The search warrant was executed at Romanek's home and followed several tips that were provided by Homeland Security that were then investigated further by Loveland police detectives and the Northern Colorado Regional Forensics Laboratory," the press release says.
Romanek was under investigation "of the online sharing and possession of child pornography." The police release (seen below) also states that part of the charges against Romanek "relates to the possession of more than 20 images of child pornography." Romanek was released last Thursday on $20,000 personal recognizance bond.
A condition of his release is that he's not allowed access to the Internet, reports Aaron Sagers on paranormalpopculture.com, who also acquired and provided the Loveland police press release to The Huffington Post.
While this case revolves around child pornography allegations, it's hard to imagine that Romanek's well-publicized involvement with UFOs and alleged alien abductions won't find its way into the courtroom, as well.

The link to where I copied that from is posted under it..
'We get foxes in our garden all the time. My son recently saw a fox walking along the fence like a cat."
"Things like how they dispose of their rubbish is really important, and bagging things up and not feeding the foxes."
Have also taken the above 2 from the link. As i keep saying, they know about the problem about the foxes so they have to start protecting their children more, and the rubbish is a problem in many inner city areas.
I know Bromley, the area is not crime free, so my point is you do not leave a broken back door, broken for too long in those areas.
I feel for the mother and although it sounds as if I am blaming her, that is not my intentions, but better precautions could have been made considering the area knew of the dangers of foxes. (above post from link proves this) if people threw their rubbish away properly the foxes would soon move on and not breed even more there.
Where I lived (not too far from Bromley) we had foxes too and 1st, would never leave the back door unlocked if we were not sitting in the garden ourselves, because of thieves and secondly, we were always aware that foxes were a threat.
Saying all that, i so hope the child makes a full recovery and is young enough not to get emotionally scarred. poor little boy.

Support World's First Technology-based Hand crafted Natural Bicycle that Brings you Simplicity and Happiness
3 years ago, I built my first bamboo bicycle and completed a solo cycling expedition around Central Asia and Asia, covering 3,792 miles.
Riding on tough terrains during the expedition taught me a lot about riding comfort, bamboo as a raw material and bicycle design principles. I was also pleasantly surprised at how a natural material like bamboo can break language barriers to create conversations and bring people together.
It is my wish to enable everyone to enjoy the breeze in their faces as they cycle down their favourite street with their family and friends, having meaningful conversations on a natural bicycle.
The researchers at bamboobee have come out with an in-house technology, a honey infusion that revents bamboo from cracking, solving the world's most common problem for bamboo-craft. The aesthetic value will last and therefore consumers
can appreciate the products for generations to come.
It is the world's first nature and technology-based handcrafted bicycle.

Follow-up Questions (Set #3) with
Glenn Eichler
KW = Kara Wild
GE = You know who
KW: It seems as though with few exceptions, the men of Lawndale are weak while the women hold positions of power. Was that coincidental, a comment on American society, or did you have a specific agenda?
GE: None of the above... I noticed that phenomenon myself after we were into the series for a year or two. It wasn't by design, but it wasn't exactly coincidental, because I realized there was something about the women being more powerful than the men that gave the series a unique setting -- almost as if it were a
alternate universe. I think in episodic TV, strong male characters tend to overwhelm strong female characters, as a reflection of the balance of power in the real world and in the writing rooms. (Maybe that's why so many shows with young female protagonists place them in fatherless households.) Somehow that balance got reversed in
KW: Although Daria and Jane considered themselves to be outcasts, they often seemed to mingle with the most popular people in school (such as Jodie, Kevin, and Brittany). Why did you choose to make them more of a focus than other students who might have identified with their "outcast" status more, like Andrea, Dawn, "Shaggy," "Burn-out Girl," etc.?
GE: Because we were trying to satirize high school, not create a comfortable alternative world where Daria and Jane could be stars among their misfit peers (though this may appear contradictory to what I said in the above answer, since the whole world of
was a bit unreal). We didn't want to do a show about the misfits finding happiness through solidarity. We didn't want anyone finding happiness, period. A basic tenet of the Tao of
is that life is not fair, and any fan fiction that concludes differently violates the secret
rulebook buried at the base of an unmarked peak in the Alleghenies. Sorry!
KW: In spite of there being no set year for Daria's graduation, let's say she graduated between 1999 and 2001. What would the Morgendorffers, Jane, and other key Lawndale residents be doing in 2005? Would any of them have been affected by September 11 or the war in Iraq?
GE: I so can't answer that, it's not funny. Well, maybe I can, a little. They would certainly be reacting to the regressive administration we've had for the last five years and squirming to live under the new atmosphere of repression and this strange chokehold that religious fundamentalism has gained on our culture. But I don't think the Morgendorffers would have any specific reaction to September 11th. It's too complicated an issue. (I could see Kevin flying an American flag from his two-miles-a-gallon SUV to show his understanding of the situation.)
KW: During the course of the series, were Quinn or Jane ever sexually active? With the
sex? (Lesbian speculation ran high with both characters, and some people thought that was one reason the Allison plot was added to IIFY?, to put the question, where Jane was concerned, to rest. Unfortunately, it didn't work.)
GE: Quinn, no. She was all about attracting guys, not acting on it. Plus Quinn would tend to think of her virginity as currency, a currency she wasn't going to spend until she got a REALLY good exchange rate. (I'm not saying Quinn would maintain this attitude as she matured; this is sophomore-junior Quinn I'm talking about.) Jane... well, she could have been sexually active. I wanted to concentrate on things other than romance in the show, so we didn't focus on it, but having sex would certainly have been in character for her. As for the gay thing, I honestly wasn't aware of that speculation when we wrote IIFY. And though I see Jane as straight or maybe "straight and curious," it's fine with me if the speculation continues.
KW: This one exchange from "Is It Fall Yet?" has intrigued me for quite some time:
Daria: And I judge myself unfit for human contact.
Helen: That's exactly what you will be if you don't start engaging with the rest of us. You keep hiding your real face behind that antisocial mask and one day the mask will be your face. I'm not letting that happen. You're working at that camp.
Helen's repeated references to a "mask" are interesting, considering the lengths she goes to in order to hide her age and appear vital and active. Did Helen have any self-awareness when she made those statements -- maybe regretting how she had let her own personality take on a mask that hid her true self from everyone else, and not wanting the same thing to happen to Daria?
GE: I don't think so. I think parents see the breadth of their children's personalities, especially when those kids are young and uninhibited, and it pains them to see the kids withdraw (in varying degrees, of course) during adolescence. But I don't think adults in their 40s worry too much about having hidden their true self from everyone else -- that's the only way to GET to 40. Helen's efforts to hide her age, unfortunately, often come with the territory for mature working women and, increasingly, men. They're not meant as a comment on her shallowness so much as a comment on the pressures the working world exerts on women and on middle-aged adults in general.
KW: Also, fans would just like to know, in general, what you're up to these days. We know at the very least that you're a consultant for
GE: I'm consulting on a couple of other shows, too, and I've written a bunch of pilots in the past couple of years, but don't sit in front of the TV waiting for them to air. I've also done some screenplay work (again, nothing currently being produced)... just the usual life of a freelance writer in the age of reality TV. But I really appreciate all the continued interest in
, and if you all want to write stories about her with happy endings, hey -- to hell with the secret rulebook!

BAGHDAD (AP) - A woman with a bomb strapped under her robe has
killed more than three dozen people outside a Baghdad mosque during
ceremonies commemorating the death of a Shiite Muslim saint.
The blast, which sent shrapnel hurtling across the crowded square, also wounded at least 72 people.
The woman was among a group of Iranian pilgrims. Thousands of pilgrims from predominantly Shiite Iran visit Iraq during Ashura,
celebrated on Jan. 7 this year.
The evening before the explosion, thousands of men marched through the streets, slashing their shoulders with iron chains to mourn the 7th-century death of Prophet Muhammad's grandson Hussein.
He was killed in a battle over Islam's leadership that began after
Muhammad's death.

Tired at the wheel: Concerned riders take on TriMet overtime issue
PORTLAND, Ore. – A group of bus riders, worried about driver fatigue, plans to ask TriMet officials to change how shifts are scheduled.
Oregonians for Safe Transit will present petition at the TriMet board meeting Wednesday asking Gov. John Kitzhaber to intervene if TriMet and the drivers' union can't agree to new work hours policy.
The Oregonian was first to raise concerns about drivers working overtime without rest.
Federal law requires MAX train operators to take at least a seven hour break between shifts, but that doesn't apply to bus drivers.
TriMet's current contract allows drivers to pick up extra shifts for colleagues who call in sick. That means they can rack up the overtime if they push themselves to keep driving.
The rules for drivers say they can't work more than 17 hours in one day, but because there's no required time between shifts, drivers can work a two 17-hour days back-to-back.
"It doesn't make much sense when an operator can work say 20 hours with a little time off in a 24-hour period," said TriMet spokeswoman Mary Fetch.
Fetch said fighting driver fatigue will be a top priority in negotiating a new contract with the union.
TriMet wanted to change the hours policy in the previous contract, but the issue took a back seat to the more contentious battle over health care costs.
In the meantime, TriMet General Manager Neil McFarlane is calling on drivers to decline extra shifts if fatigue is setting in. He also wants staff to report tired drivers to management, and he's requiring an overtime audit.
The drivers' union did not return calls from KATU Tuesday night, but has told TriMet it is willing to discuss scheduling concerns.
"We have a safe system. I will tell you that," said Fetch. "We have operators that are professionals. This is a small group of operators that take advantage of this ability to work long overtime. Now they choose to work this long overtime."

SANTA FE, N.M.—Officials say a small amount of diesel fuel has leaked into one of Santa Fe's municipal reservoirs.
Water utility director Nick Schiavo told the Santa Fe New Mexican (http://bit.ly/16qIowX) that city water staff and the city contractor responsible for the spill worked to clean it up Friday and Saturday.
RMCI, a contractor hired by the city to take down an old water intake tower in the Nichols Reservoir and build a new one, had been draining water from Nichols into the Santa Fe River since early September before beginning demolition of the old tower.
The contractor brought in a diesel-powered pump to suck out the remaining water and pipe it into the river. But a line running from a 50-gallon barrel of diesel fuel near the reservoir began leaking.

The man injured in Friday's collapse of a construction crane at the city's downtown parking garage was released from the hospital Tuesday morning. This while OSHA investigators completed their on site investigation. They have yet to release what caused the boom to collapse, but they say in the past cranes have failed because of several different factors. The main reasons are an operator error, failure of the structure, or a mechanical defect.
Now that the investigating is done, the crane was finally removed piece by piece and the crushed car was towed away.

A local man reads 137 books in a year, then writes about it
Kevin Hendricks of West St. Paul read 137 books last year.
"I know," he said, "Crazy, right?"
Not content to leave it at that, Hendricks turned this experience into a book of his own – a booklet, really, weighing in at 10,000 words – that explains how he got so much reading in "while still having some semblance of a life.".
He hopes to inspire others to do more reading (if not necessarily 137 books in one year).
The booklet, "137 Books In One Year: How to Fall in Love With Reading," is out now.
It's free today and tomorrow on Amazon.com.
Hendricks has written other books, too.

MURFREESBORO - Rick Stockstill stayed put after all. Middle Tennessee State's football coach turned down an offer to become East Carolina's new head coach on Tuesday.
Considering the better pay and higher profile job, some were shocked by Stockstill's decision to stay with the Blue Raiders. Stockstill said it was a matter of bad timing and good principles.
"The timing is never good for a coach to change jobs," Stockstill said. "However, the timing of this opportunity came at a critical time in recruiting with both universities and to the fault of neither MTSU nor East Carolina. "... I could not look in the eyes of these recruits and their families and tell them the things I believe in and what I want them to believe in and then leave Middle Tennessee with only two weeks left in the recruiting process."
National Signing Day is Feb. 3, and Stockstill is on the road recruiting for most of this week. On Tuesday morning, he notified East Carolina and also MTSU Athletics Director Chris Massaro of his decision to return to the Blue Raiders for the 2010 season.
Stockstill, a fourth-year head coach, led MTSU to a 10-3 record and New Orleans Bowl victory last season. It marked the most single-season wins ever by a Sun Belt Conference team. MTSU also received votes 12 points the final ESPN/USA Today poll and four in the Associated Press poll voting, each marking the best finish in program history.
If he had accepted the East Carolina offer, Stockstill would have become the first Sun Belt head football coach to ever accept a job at a perceived higher profile program. AD happy with decision Massaro said Stockstill's decision speaks volumes of the Sun Belt's progress, as well as the MTSU program.
"I would say this is a statement for the conference," Massaro said. "There's no reason why the Sun Belt Conference can't be considered equal to Conference USA. ... It says a lot that Coach Stockstill believes enough in the potential of what we can accomplish here at Middle Tennessee, that he would turn down those kinds of overtures."
tockstill also turned down a hefty bump in salary. He reportedly earned $281,655 in 2009, but it is believed his East Carolina salary would have exceeded $1 million per year. On Tuesday, Massaro said he was working to extend Stockstill's contract, as requested by the coach.
"The biggest concern he had was security, that he could stay here for a long time," Massaro said. "We have done that, and we are discussing some aspects of that. We will put some addendums in his contract. But it really was not about money. If it was about money, he would already be gone because there was no way we could've matched the kind of package that (ECU) has."
Stockstill has posted a 27-23 overall record and 20-9 Sun Belt mark in four seasons at MTSU.

December 1, 2015
Colorado and Alaska usually lead the nation in avalanche deaths, but so far this winter, 8 of the 13 avalanche deaths have been in Washington State.
Utah has had three, and Colorado and Wyoming have each had one.
Experts say years of predictable weather in the northwest have given people who ski, snowboard or snowmobile a dangerous sense of overconfidence.
Snow in Washington usually falls wet and heavy, making a solid snow pack.
This winter however, the snow pack there is 30 to 60 percent above normal and forming in layers, which can break away on a slope.
The Forest Service National Avalanche Center in Ketchum, Idaho says Washington normally has two or three of the approximately 25 avalanche deaths a year.

Gloucester City boss urges fans to spurn England for FA Cup clash
Posted: November 14, 2012|
FORGET about England's meaningless friendly, turn-off your TV and watch some 'proper football' in the FA Cup first round.
That is the plea from Gloucester City boss Dave Mehew to the people of the city ahead of tonight's rescheduled FA Cup clash against Leyton Orient (7.45pm).
The game was originally scheduled to be played in front of a bumper Whaddon Road crowd last Sunday, before the weather and a waterlogged pitch intervened.
And while tonight's tie clashes with a scratch England side playing an international friendly in Sweden, Mehew is hoping the football fans of Gloucestershire still flock to enjoy the romance of the FA Cup.
"All the ingredients that were there in the first game will be there again tonight," Mehew said.
"It's still an FA Cup first-round tie with a non-League club playing against one from the League.
"We have absolutely nothing to lose and it will be a proper game of football in one of the great Cup competitions.
"I am convinced that England against Sweden will be boring in comparison, so I would urge people to forget about the TV and come and watch our game.
"If the people of Gloucester and the area are going to come to just one of our games this season, then make sure it's this one.
"The support can help us make a difference not only tonight but for the rest of the season as well, as clubs like ours need these kind of occasions to highlight what they are about.
"If we can pull off a shock result it will be a fantastic story for our club and it will be a fantastic story for the FA Cup as well.
"It has helped put our club back in the spotlight and we deserve that given all that has happened in the last few years."
City's semi-professional players will prepare for the game like any other midweek clash – with a long and arduous day at work.
Mehew was also be heading to work this morning, but not before ensuring that he completes one lucky pre-match ritual – the vacuuming.
Cursed by superstition, Mehew was forced into doing some housework by wife Louise on the morning of the club's second qualifying round tie with Thatcham Town, and a tradition was born.
"My wife was a little bit ill on the morning of the Thatcham game and asked me to run the Hoover around," Mehew said.
"As I was doing it I thought that if we won I would have to do it every game, which wasn't the greatest thought to be honest.
"So I have done it every round since and will be doing it again today. Hopefully it will bring us the same result.
"It will be like any other game for all of the lads. Most of them will be working until 5pm and then they can put their football heads on.
"Orient wanted the game played on Tuesday because they have to go to Carlisle on Saturday and were worried about the travelling.
"Well my lads are going to be at work on Wednesday and then up at the crack of dawn on Thursday and Friday for the day jobs, and we're not going to feel hard done by.

To Move Forward, First Let Go
If you're an entrepreneur or business owner feeling stuck or stalled out, it may be time to get out of your comfort zone. Here are some tips for moving forward.
You may recall that in order to advance on a monkey bar, you have to let go of one rung to reach for the next. If you don't let go, you cannot move forward on the bar—after your hands tire, you simply drop to the ground a few feet below.
Many entrepreneurs face a similar dilemma—they seem either unable or unwilling to let go of where they are in order to move forward, even though they know they are stuck. They may not understand exactly why they are stuck, yet they are reluctant to reach for assistance to gain the insights they need to move beyond where they are.
As all consultants know (or should know), the most difficult business to consult on is your own. As my mentor Dr. Alan Weiss says, it is all too easy to end up "breathing your own exhaust."
It's easy to reason your way out of asking for help. You may think, "How complicated can this be? I'm a smart person—I ought to be able to figure this out on my own." You may question whether seeking outside assistance will yield the results you need. Or you could turn to your own team as a way to avoid spending money for outside assistance.
Invariably, inaction will keep you frozen in place. Sure, you may be able to make incremental progress on your own, but this progress pales in comparison to what an outside opinion can offer.
It's a consultant's job to help you clearly see things that you are too close to. When you give them full control, they are guaranteeing you a result—but you must trust them and accept that it may not be delivered quickly.
As Vickie Sullivan says, "Cause overcomes fear." When the cause you are championing is big and transformative enough, and you know you aren't getting the market penetration you could or should, this can be a powerful catalyst for seeking assistance to get to the next level.
So the next time you are stuck, don't be afraid to ask for help. There's no way to move forward without first letting go.

I believe that only in letting go of your fears by giving them less space in your head do you become the person you truly want to become, whatever that means. People often fail because they give too much importance to every single voice, except their own... www.madelienerose.com
Great read! If an entrepreneur is feeling stuck in a rut, definitely ask for help and aim to move to that next place. We regularly here from entrepreneurs who are stuck or don't have enough time to do everything; it's a common issue when their business begins to grow. We help them by providing outstanding virtual support so they can focus on what they need to. It always pays to ask for help.
I am here right now. Stuck. I finally finished my graphic novel, but I'm changing the characters names over and over and over ... now I'm back with the names I started with a year ago. I will now attempt to swallow my fear and get fresh eyes on it... thanks for the insight!

2009-2010 budget amendment to reflect lower state revenues
- Details
- Last Updated on Wednesday, 10 February 2010 16:23
- Published on Wednesday, 10 February 2010 16:23
- Hits: 867
The King George Board of Supervisors directed Deputy County Administrator/Finance Director Donita Harper to bring back a proposal to amend the current year's 2009-10 budget based largely on lower revenue projections from the state. The move was prompted by former Gov. Tim Kaine's proposal to amend the state budget for the remainder of the fiscal year, known as his "caboose bill."
The budget amendment is expected to be presented and reviewed at the next board meeting scheduled for Feb. 16.
Figures for that current-year budget amendment were reviewed at last Tuesday's meeting with a presentation from Harper. Supervisors had also reviewed the figures at a special meeting the previous week on Jan. 26.
The constitutional offices are facing cuts in the current fiscal year based on lower revenues from the state Board of Compensation.
"I got with all the constitutional officers and they are all able to live within these adjustments in the amended budget," Harper informed the board.
Harper said with the proposed cuts she is projecting the county to be in the black by $631,102 at the end of the fiscal year. But that could change.
The school division is facing cuts for the current fiscal year based strictly on lower enrollment.
Superintendent Candace Brown informed the School Board on Jan. 20 that the division has a current-year deficit of $1.2 million.
Though they met again on Jan. 25, none of the School Board members, as yet, has publicly asked Brown where those cuts will be made.
Since those two meetings, there has been no public opportunity to question Brown on her proposed cuts, since two meetings have been canceled, including last week on Feb. 1, as well as the scheduled public hearing and meeting this week on Monday, Feb. 8.
The next chance the School Board has to discuss Brown's current budget and next year's budget proposal is at a meeting currently scheduled for next week on Feb. 17.
Regarding school funding for the current year, Harper told supervisors: "I have spoken with Dr. Brown, I worked with her, and the proposed amendments on her budget reduces it by $1.2 million – that's the governor's proposed budget. And she has also reduced her expenditures by $1.2 million."
About Brown, Harper said, "She said that she knew the cut was coming because she knew that the ADM (average daily membership) was going to be adjusted. So, she said she is able to work within this."
Harper told The Journal this week that she was told by Brown to plug in numbers for the various school categories that would provide a bottom line with cuts totaling $1.2 million.
Harper added that she expected to have Brown's own categorical figures by next Tuesday's meeting of the Board of Supervisors.
Sisson and Grzeika discussed and decided with Harper to present a budget amendment and continue to closely monitor actual revenue and expenditure figures and monthly year-end projections.
Grzeika said, "Then as we get closer, if we have to make another amendment, we can. I think it's good to set the stake. I think what I heard her say is the superintendent thinks she can execute."
Supervisors directed Harper to bring back the amended budget proposal for adoption at next week's meeting scheduled for Feb. 16.
2010-11 budget outlook
Prior to Harper's review of the proposed amendments at the Feb. 2 meeting, Chairman of the Board of Supervisors Dale Sisson talked about the budget development process for the next year.
During the time set aside for board member comments, Sisson talked about the challenges facing the county with diminishing revenues.
Sisson noted that budgeting for 2010-11 fiscal year will be tough, saying the reduced state revenues are posing tough decisions to be made.
"Folks know of the budget situation that we are all facing this year," Sisson said. "I just wanted to reiterate that this year's budget will present real challenges."
He added: "I've seen some comments about the deficit — as to whether or not it is genuine. I can certainly assure that the numbers that we are seeing are real and it's going to take some innovation and some real thinking to get through this year's budget and build a workable budget that allows us to continue to deliver quality products as a county here in the coming years. And I'm confident that we will do that. We've prepared ourselves well, but it will certainly take some thinking."

Brian Whitman then mentioned that President Bill Clinton also had a warm and fuzzy Father's Day and went on to defend Bill Clinton as a good father.
"This is what I've always said about President Clinton… I've said it since 1992," said Brian. "I don't think he's the best husband – I don't think he's going to win the husband award. But, I think he could win the 'Father Award.'"
"Are you serious? Are. You. Serious?" asked an incredulous Elisha Krauss. "Don't you know that girls…look to their father and how he treats their mother as an example of what they need to look for in a husband? And you think that he was the epitome of what that should be?"
"I think he's a good dad," replied Brian.
"How are you a good dad when you're out there schtooping…every moving thing on the face of the planet, and then lying about it?" wondered Elisha.

The children of white middle-class, college-educated parents, Hugh Green and Turner Jenkins are just the kind of kids everyone would expect to be stepping out into the world one sunny June day, bachelor's degrees in hand. But they both veered from the traditional American educational route. One decided that a bachelor's was never going to be enough, while the other concluded it was unnecessary. Mr. Green enrolled in an accelerated program that will keep him at Emory University in Atlanta for a fifth year and earn him a master's degree. Mr. Jenkins is immersed in a culinary training program in Gaithersburg, Md., that he hopes will launch his career as a chef. Once the hallmark of an educated and readily employable adult, the bachelor's degree is losing its edge. Quicker, cheaper programs offer attractive career route alternatives while the more prestigious master's is trumping it, making it a mere steppingstone...

Canadian Airports Being Wired With Cameras and Microphones To Eavesdrop on Travelers' Conversations
Airports and border crossings across Canada are being wired with high-definition cameras and microphones that can eavesdrop on travellers' conversations, according to the Canada Border Services Agency. A CBSA statement said that audio-video monitoring and recording is already in place at unidentified CBSA sites at airports and border points of entry as part of an effort to enhance "border integrity, infrastructure and asset security and health and safety." As part of the work, the agency is introducing audio-monitoring equipment as well. "It is important to note that even though audio technology is installed, no audio is recorded at this time. It will become functional at a later date," CBSA spokesman Chris Kealey said in a written statement. But whenever that occurs, the technology, "will record conversations," the agency said in a separate statement in response to questions from the Ottawa Citizen...
Defense Secretary Finally Admits U.S. Is at War in Pakistan
Reports Spencer Ackerman on WIRED's Danger Room
… Read the rest
"We are fighting a war in the FATA, we are fighting a war against terrorism," said Defense Secretary Leon Panetta on Wednesday, referring to the tribal areas of Pakistan that the U.S. has spent three years bombing heavily. Was that so hard to admit?
For years, it has been. Neither the Bush nor Obama administration has been forthright about the starkest fact of the recent war on terrorism: most of it takes place in western Pakistan. As CIA director and now Pentagon chief, Panetta has been one of the key architects of the accelerated drone-and-commando war the U.S. wages there in what amounts to an open secret. In 2009, the critical year in that acceleration, Danger Room boss Noah Shachtman started pressing the Obama administration for disclosure about a war the U.S. waged in all but name.
It may be late, but at least now it's happened.
Zombie Bullets: U.S. Ammo Producers Cash In on Zombie Apocalypse Fears

Hornady Manufacturing Company, an American maker of ammunition and hand-loading components has decided to cash in on current zombie terror. Zombie Bullets are designed for those who want to be ready and fully-equipped for what the company calls "a Zombie Apocalypse."
Zombie fascination is also bouncing around the internet, recently becoming the third most-popular search term on Google. Conspiracies and expectation of the Zombie Apocalypse have even forced the US Center for Disease Control to address the American public and deny the threat.
A weapon against zombies is being sold across the US after a series of cannibal attacks shocked the country. The largest independent producer of bullets in the world says their Zombie Max ammunition is a response to the flesh-eating crimes.

Gary Johnson: 'Politics Be Damned' Running to Win As Libertarian Presidential Candidate (Video)
Libertarian presidential nominee Gary Johnson said Tuesday night that he is running as a third-party candidate because he has a message to convey: "Politics be damned." "The 'pie in the sky' notion" is to win the race, Johnson told The Daily Show. He also noted that he'll appear on ballots alongside President Obama and Mitt Romney in all 50 states in November. "Lots of opportunity to change the world a little bit," he said, describing his campaign. "I have seen nothing but increased crowds, increased appetite for what I have to say." Comedy Central host Jon Stewart described being a libertarian as two halves of a friendship necklace — half Republican, half Democrat, according to the policies that traditionally appeal to each part — coming together to make a whole heart. Johnson agreed.
Is Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels Mitt Romney's Running Mate?

The 2012 Bilderberg Conference is officially over, but members of the elusive society may have made a big decision during this year's event. One source is reporting that the top-secret meeting ended with a running mate picked for Mitt Romney.
Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels is likely to be elected as the candidate for vice president under Mitt Romney, claimsa source close to the Bilderberg Conference. Journalist Jim Tucker has been investigating the annual closed-door meetings for decades and tells the website Infowars.com that, before the 2012 Bilderberg meeting wrapped up, Gov. Daniels was decided on as the GOP running mate.
A Romney/Daniels ticket would make sense for many reasons, but Tucker suggests that it may have something more to do with just shared ideologies between the Indiana governor and the founder of Bain Capital.
Another REAL ID Deadline Bites the Dust
States are sounding the alarm over a federal policy that would require them to overhaul their systems for issuing driver's licenses, arguing it's a massive unfunded mandate that will be incredibly difficult to implement. If you think you've heard this before, you are right. In 2005, following a recommendation from the 9/11 Commission, Congress passed the REAL ID Act. The law was designed to shore up the security of state-issued identification cards in an effort to thwart terrorists and others who use fake IDs to facilitate their crimes. Fast-forward seven years and REAL ID has yet to be fully implemented. Now, as another deadline approaches, states are once again scrambling to meet it and requesting more flexibility. But should they really be concerned? Federal officials have consistently delayed REAL ID implementation to give states more time to comply. The most recent delay came in March 2011, and today the deadline for states to come into "material compliance" with the law is Jan. 15, 2013. For practical purposes, however, it's even sooner: States must provide final documentation to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) by Oct. 15. State officials say they're taking this deadline seriously, despite the feds' track record...

But a search of her home Wednesday led to federal charges for 23-year-old Celia Savage of Cornelia.
Obama's 'Secret Kill List' Shows The President Has the Final Word on Terrorist Killing Missions
What an eerie task for a former constitutional law professor. Reports Jo Becker and Scott Shane in the New York Times:

Mr. Obama is the liberal law professor who campaigned against the Iraq war and torture, and then insisted on approving every new name on an expanding "kill list," poring over terrorist suspects' biographies on what one official calls the macabre "baseball cards" of an unconventional war. When a rare opportunity for a drone strike at a top terrorist arises—but his family is with him—it is the president who has reserved to himself the final moral calculation.
"He is determined that he will make these decisions about how far and wide these operations will go," said Thomas E. Donilon, his national security adviser. "His view is that he's responsible for the position of the United States in the world." He added, "He's determined to keep the tether pretty short."

Bilderberg Power Brokers To Meet in Virginia This Week (In Another U.S. Election Year)

Protecting Athletes From Concussions
Concussions are being taken more seriously in the world of sports. Now schools and hospitals are doing their part to help spread the word about concussion prevention.
"Concussions are on the forefront of everything with all the lawsuits going on with NFL players so there are a lot of studies being done on concussions."
Almost any athlete knows the danger of a concussion, and a good portion of them have had concussions themselves.
"Concussions are very serious because we're dealing with the brain," Dr. James said. "It could be a life threatening injury."
Now more is being done to prevent the dangerous injury.
"A lot of states are taking action and passing legislation about concussions," Dr. James said. "Tennessee is doing that. That will go into effect January 1."
Sports Plus is teaming up with Ayers Children's Medical Center and Vanderbilt to give a seminar to educate others about concussions and help answer questions like what to do with players who experience a concussion.
"If somebody shows any signs of having a concussion, they should be removed from practice or play and be evaluated by a health care provider," Dr. James said.
Signs of a concussion include confusion, being unable to recall events that happened before or after the injury, and losing consciousness. The person could also have a headache, be dizzy and have balance problems, or even vomit.
If you would like to attend the seminar, it will be happening November 5 from 6:30-8 p.m. at the J Walter Barnes Conference Center at Jackson-Madison County General Hospital.

Sony may have been in the console race for longer than Microsoft has, but one thing is evident: Microsoft know how to create a strong online offering. They've been at it for the last ten years, who else could be doing a better job? Well, up until around a two years ago that may well have been the case, but now they're no longer top dog when it comes to offering consumers value for money. For me, the tables began to turn on the Washington based giant thanks to the arrival of Sony's PlayStation Plus.
Now, Xbox Live subscribers, don't get up in arms at that claim. I've been an Xbox Live subscriber for the last nine and a half years and, while it's been a reliable service that's given me hours of entertainment, it's become even more apparent that Sony's offering is more tantalising in comparison. Even if it means I have to accept regular maintenance and the occasional hiccup with servers – after all, I'm not paying to play online, I'm paying for so much more.
With Xbox Live you fork out £39.99 for 12 months so you can play online and use other premium apps, that usually require another from of payment or subscription – such as Sky and Netflix. Of course there are even more multimedia applications you can use in the US if you have Xbox Live Gold, but for the most part they're not focused upon bringing subscribers game enhancing content. Can you comfortably sit there and say you're happy with the features you gain for shelling out £40 a year?
Personally I see little benefit, especially when over on my PlayStation 3 or PlayStation Vita I'm getting the exact same things without having to fork out a penny. The same goes for the millions playing on PC, they don't pay a penny for enjoying their games online – besides from those MMOs that haven't already jumped ship to the increasingly popular Free to Play model.
Without wanting this to come out sounding like an advertorial for the many features of PlayStation Plus, it's hard for anyone to deny that PlayStation users definitely get the better end of the deal. For the exact same price of £39.99 you get an incredible, game focused, package that now works across both PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita.
Before you factor in all the money off you get through discounts, you'll also be bagging 63 full games a year for nothing. Clearly this can only be the greatest thing to happen to gamers who, for the most part, are eternally torn by what big title to purchase due to the constraints of money. For less than the cost of a standard retail release, you'll get a wonderful mixture of new indie and low-key games alongside the bigger releases of the last year or so on both your PS3 and PS Vita.
If that wasn't enough you'll also get some incredible discounts over standard sale prices and current full priced releases. Even picking up Music Unlimited is incredibly cheap thanks to PS Plus, knocking off a crazy 89% from the price. But here's the thing, it's such a tantalising service because Sony have clued themselves up on the digital era and how users want their content – an area that Microsoft and, for argument's sake, Nintendo are seriously lacking in.
While the PlayStation Store's day one releases and pre-order incentives for digital titles are horrifically overpriced – £59.99 for Need for Speed: Most Wanted anyone? – Sony has no control as publishers set their own prices. However, they're offering the opportunity to anyone who's naïve enough to snap it up at such a price. And that's a key point: they give you choice.
Microsoft, on the other hand, have their own service for bringing full retail releases digitally to your console. However, if you decide to pick a title up through Games On Demand for launch you're going to be bitterly disappointed – unless you go out and pick up a retail copy – as it typically takes around half a year since from release for Microsoft to bring new games to the service. By that point they're vastly overpriced as retailers have reduced costs or the pre-owned market has opened up. What's worrying is that Xbox Live UK's product manager Pav Bhardwaj says that they have absolutely no intention of changing this dated model: "We release a game roughly six months after it arrives at retail at full ERP. That's our model and we'll be sticking to that."
And herein lies the problem: Microsoft isn't progressing with the times. They've sat on top for too long with their online offering. They soaked up the fame of having, what once was, a brilliant online infrastructure, and now they're not changing to match the increased competition. What Microsoft could do with is rewarding their subscribers more. Currently they've begun a reward scheme that offers meagre returns on the copious amounts of money users invest into their service. What's needed is free content that free users would have to pay for, map packs or discounts on DLC for example.
Maybe it's just me, but to fight against a world that's so very quickly turning nearly entirely digital seems very foolish. I'm all for the retaining of bricks and mortar stores and the supremacy of physical media – after all nothing beats a shelf full of games or peeling back the cellophane and inhaling that prepackaged stale factory smell. But gamers want games at their fingertips. They don't want to wait just because their preferred method of purchase isn't favoured by Microsoft. Nintendo have learnt from their mistakes and are making changes for the next-generation of hardware, and just look at the explosion of digital distribution services like GOG in the last year or so.
Sony clearly know where they're going with their online service. They're acutely aware of what their consumers want from their consoles. They're offering more of what players ask for and they aren't being shy when it comes to promoting the benefits. While I'm also sure that Microsoft is very much aware of what their users want too from a console, I have a feeling that the money they make through Xbox Live Gold subscriptions – estimated at over $1 billion in 2010 by Bloomberg – is far too alluring for them to forego the model.
Perhaps Microsoft's next-generation hardware will offer more bang for your buck where online interactivity is concerned. Hopefully they'll expand their offering towards video games over their desire to be the all-in-one media centre for the home. After having tasted both digital pies from the kitchens of Sony and Microsoft, I know which one tastes sweeter to me.
What are your thoughts on the matter? Does PS Plus not appeal to you over Xbox Live? Why? Let us know!

Nice article – gave me a good read.
Hey Remember when the Call Of Duty 4 Modern Warfare Game came out. I remember now it came on XBOX LIVE FIRST.AND now that Game is a Multi Billion dollar xbox hit which has the first dlc maps . Oh yeah and I also remember netflix, hulu, you tube coming first on live. We also have HBO GO and if you want you could watch television on fios. Hey also on December 4 I will be picking up Dragonborns Skyrim on Xbox live and you will be picking up Mass Effect 1 an old XBOX GAME that was on live first. Halo 4 also has multiplayer maps every week on live. Listen Fan boy I know you like your system but just stop wasting time writing stupid articles like this because it going to blow up on your face. And I'm not talking about jizz.
COD4 was released on PS3 and 360 simultaneously, not on the 360 first. Secondly, COD existed before COD4, the hint is in the number. COD1 was released on PS2 in 2003 and not on the Xbox. The Xbox brand has only had 8 COD's released on it, the Playstation brand has had 11 released on it.
Vita is Dead.
Live is alive and kicking.
Very different.
lol at this so called article
"regular maintenance"
if that happens it happens at like 4:00 am and you can still play
This trashy article sounds like typical sensational crap from Yahoo! I gladly subscribe to XBL, because unlike PSN; IT DOESN'T GET HACKED.
It's obvious the PSN fans are being allowed to spam dislike on XBOX fan postings causing them to be hidden. That in itself is against the First Amendment. Fix it GamerHub
This was a fantastic read!!! I have both the PS3 and Vita and can say personally that Sony is really future proofing themselves. I have so many games to play that its pretty scary to know that the supporters of Xbox would say that free games as a plus member doesnt compare to having a cross-chat feature on the console. And now if you make a one time payment for a Vita, you have cross-chat on the go! FOR FREE!!!
