A citizens group has asked the Newcomerstown Exempted Village Schools Board of Education to allow firearms in the district's schools and that school employees be trained — and armed.
A citizens group has asked the Newcomerstown Exempted Village Schools Board of Education to allow firearms in the district's schools and that school employees be trained — and armed.
The group, calling itself the Parent Safety Committee, cited a New York Daily News report that stated, "With a single exception, every multiple-victim public shooting in the U.S. in which more than three people have been killed since at least 1950 has taken place where citizens are not allowed to carry their own firearms," said member Faylene Wright, who recently addressed the board of education.
The committee contends there is a need to "get rid of gun-free zones" such as schools, where no one is armed to combat an attack by an outsider.
Amy Lazette spoke of security changes being considered by the school, such as an entry buzzer system and changes in glass entrances. "I do believe that is not enough," she said.
"We'll consider it," Board President Jerry Lahmers said of the group's request to train and arm staff members.
He added that he is hopeful Superintendent Jeff Staggs will create a committee to review what other districts are doing and to study the positive and negative aspects.
Staggs noted after the meeting that the district has revamped its crisis plan. In addition, all school employees participated in a daylong "active shooter training" program presented by the Ohio attorney general's office to learn how to deal with a crisis, how to be proactive and how to look for signs of possible threats.
Newcomerstown, like other districts in Tuscarawas, Carroll and Harrison counties, has been offered free technology by Lauren Innovations of New Philadelphia that would assist safety personnel dealing with emergencies at area schools.
The NaviGate Prepared product would give first responders access to up-to-date information, such as building floor plans, photos of classrooms, the location of hazardous materials, emergency response plans and contact numbers.
Many area schools have considered additional security measures in the aftermath of the Newtown, Conn., school-shooting tragedy. Sandy Valley Local Schools recently hired an armed resource officer from the Tuscarawas County Sheriff's Department, who will be on hand each school day through June 30.
New Philadelphia City Schools also placed a levy on the May primary election ballot that would have included hiring four school resource officers through the New Philadelphia Police Department. The district since has removed the levy from the ballot.

from Diane Haddad at FamilyTree Magazine
The Tenement Museum in New York City's Lower East has launched on online database of more than 1,300 images from the museum's collection.
Photos show the neighborhood, historic and contemporary photographs of 97 Orchard Street (the restored tenement where the museum is located) and historic portraits of people who lived and worked there.
You can browse, run a basic search by keyword, or run an advanced search on a name, place, year range or other terms. If you click on an image in your search results, you can enlarge it or save it to your favorites (in which case you'll need to create a free account).
By 1900, more than 80,000 tenements had been built in New York City, according to History. com. About 2.3 million people—two-thirds of the city's population, many of them poor immigrants—lived in tenement housing. The building at 97 Orchard Street was home to 7,000 people from more than 20 nations between 1863 and 1935.
Author and photographer Jacob Riis exposed the miserable conditions of tenement houses in his book How the Other Half Lives, published in 1890. (Read it on Google Books). The book was instrumental in urban reforms regulating the construction of tenements.

Wigs on the GreenBuy Now
Buy from one of our partners
Part of a newly designed Nancy Mitford series.
In Wigs on the Green, Nancy Mitford, author of The Pursuit of Love and Love in a Cold Climate, pens a hilarious satire of the upper classes, strongly influenced by her own legendary family of eccentrics.
Eugenia Malmains is one of the richest girls in England and an ardent supporter of Captain Jack and the Union Jackshirts; Noel and Jasper are both in search of an heiress (so much easier than trying to work for the money); Poppy and Marjorie are nursing lovelorn hearts; and the beautiful bourgeois Mrs Lace is on the prowl for someone near Eugenia's fabulous country home at Chalford, and much farce ensues.
One of Nancy Mitford's earliest novels, Wigs on the Green has been out of print for nearly seventy-five years. Nancy's sisters Unity and Diana were furious with her for making fun of Diana's husband, Oswald Moseley, and his politics, and the book caused a rift between them all that endured for years. Nancy Mitford skewers her family and their beliefs with her customary jewelled barbs, but there is froth, comedy and heart here too.
Nancy Mitford was the eldest of the infamous Mitford sisters, known for her membership in 'The Bright Young Things' clique of the 1920s and an intimate of Evelyn Waugh; she produced witty, satirical novels with a cast of characters taken directly from the aristocratic social scene of which she was a part. Her novels, The Pursuit of Love, Love in a Cold Climate, The Blessing and Don't Tell Alfred, are available in single paperback editions from Penguin or as part of The Penguin Complete Novels of Nancy Mitford which also includes Highland Fling, Christmas Pudding and Pigeon Pie. This edition of Wigs on the Green is introduced by journalist and editor Charlotte Mosley.

Author?s Note: In a recent interview with our local New York Times affiliate, Dr. Lynne Snowden characterized me as a ?pathological liar? who is ?mentally unbalanced.? I offer the following chapter from my book ?Welcome to the Ivory Tower of Babel? as a rebuttal. Since the events described in this chapter, Snowden has been voted out as Faculty Senate President. She has also been voted out of the Faculty Senate altogether. Furthermore, a taxpayer funded SBI investigation has determined that her subsequent claims that people were breaking into her office to spray tear gas were unfounded. Nonetheless, she still teaches ?Counter-terrorism? at UNCW. Dr. Cecil Willis was recently promoted to the office of the Provost. He remains one of the most respected members of the university community.
Dear Director of Human Resources:
I hope you have a few spare minutes because you are not going to believe this one. I know that you?re busy but it would be wrong to keep this information from you. I think you may also be legally obligated to conduct some sort of investigation into the allegations I am about to share with you.
The first week of December I went to my mailbox and found the following memo:
December 2, 1999
To My Colleagues in the Department of Sociology, Anthropology, & Criminal Justice:
You have been asked to debate the possibility of giving Dr. Cecil Willis another four-year term as Chair of our department. Unfortunately, I will be unable to attend today?s meeting because of my Faculty Senate duties. However, I have important information concerning Cecil?s qualifications and some questions about his prior actions that should be answered in open forum before you make this decision. I would therefore like to request that you either postpone today?s discussion or schedule a second meeting where his candidacy would be the sole topic of discussion.
Thank you very much for your help and attention to this matter.
Lynne L. Snowden
As you can imagine, this memo was the talk of the department for the rest of the day. When the department met that afternoon, we debated whether one faculty member could postpone such an important meeting on such short notice. But Cecil graciously agreed to have that second meeting where his candidacy would be the ?sole focus? of discussion.

My Queen Karo
Ten-year-old Karo grows up with her parents in an Amsterdam commune in the Seventies. As an only child, she leads a carefree existence in this utopia-for-adults. The mandate says that everything is to be shared in the squat. But soon not everyone is able to honor these ideals, leading Karo to get caught in the crossfire of the internal conflicts that begin to divide the group and threaten her family. Karo slowly realizes that nothing can stay the same forever. Directed by by Dorothee Van Den Berghe, 2009, color. In Flemmish/French with English subtitles.
Ambush (TVPG)
Starring Finnish Oscar Winners PETER FRANZEN and IRINA BJORKLUND, this beautiful film takes place in the first days of World War II in Russian Karelia close to the Finnish border. A young lieutenant accepts a dangerous reconnaissance mission behind enemy lines in exchange for the evacuation of his beautiful fiancée to nurse in a safer area. During his mission he receives the tragic news that the Russians managed to have killed her regardless of his precautions. Will the war and her death change not only the exterior of his country, but the interior soul of the man also? Directed by Olli Saarela, 1999, color. In Finnish with English subtitles.
A Week Alone (TVPG)
A group of children, age 7 through 14, are left home alone at a house in a secluded community in the countryside. Their innocence is gradually corrupted as they experiment with rule-breaking, ultimately leading to house break-ins around the neighborhood. The arrival of the maid's son, a teenager of lesser privilege, exposes prejudice and ferocity climaxing with crimes that force the children to re-examine their actions. This powerful, critically acclaimed film, a film Martin Scorsese calls "Great work with a true sense for character and place" looks at adolescence leaving no one untouched, and the children involved, changed forever. Directed by Celina Murga and Martin Scorsese, 2008, color. In Spanish with English subtitles.
I Am Dina
In Norway during the 1800,'s a little girl named Dina accidentally causes the dramatic death of her mother. Overcome with grief, her father refuses to raise her, leaving her in the care of household servants. Her only friend is the stable boy, Tomas. Dina (Bonnevie) grows up wild and unmanageable. In her teenage years, she is afforded a musical tutor and she develops a crush on him but it seems everything she cares for, accidentally dies. When a wealthy port owner Jacob (Depardieu), more than twice her age and a recent widower,asks for her hand, Dina's fortune changes quickly. Soon she applies her intellect and strong will, to govern the port operations with her husband. Jacob's two sons have very different views on Dina and realize her youth leaves them powerless in their father's empire. Jacob's premature, and suspicious death, brings their conflict to the surface, as their father's will seems lost leaving the entire fortune automatically to Dina. At the same time her childhood friend, Tomas, (Eccleston) reappears in her life. I AM DINA is an epic tale of fate and fortune, featuring great performances by an all star cast against the stunning background of the Norwegian fjords. Directed by Ole Bornedal, 2003, color.

Samsung launches Galaxy Core II, Ace 4, Young 2, Star 2 smartphones
updated 09:58 am EDT, Mon June 30, 2014
New collection of entry-level Android smartphones have similar specifications
Samsung has unveiled a group of four new smartphones destined for the entry-level mobile device market. All four devices, the Galaxy Core II, Galaxy Star 2, Galaxy Ace 4, and Galaxy Young 2, use Samsung's Touchwiz interface on Android 4.4 and have relatively similar, if basic specifications, though there are still some slight differences between the smartphones.
Following on from the original Galaxy Core, the Galaxy Core II has a 4.5-inch WVGA display, powered by a quad-core 1.2GHz processor with 768MB of RAM and 4GB of expandable storage. On the back is a 5-megapixel camera with autofocus and LED flash, with a VGA version on the front, connectivity options include Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0, and 3G, and it has a 2,000mAh battery.
Samsung Galaxy Core II
Differing from the rest and an upgrade from its predecessor, the Galaxy Ace 4 will be available in two variants. The 3G model has a dual-core 1GHz processor with 512MB of RAM and a 1,500mAh battery, while the LTE version gets a speed boost to 1.2GHz, 1GB of RAM and a larger 1,800mAh battery. Both use identical 4-inch WVGA screens, 4GB of storage with microSD expansion, and Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.0 connectivity, along with the same 5-megapixel and VGA-resolution camera combination.
Samsung Galaxy Ace 4
The Galaxy Young 2 is a 3G device with a 3.5-inch HGVA TFT display. Running on a single-core 1GHz processor with 512MB of RAM, the Galaxy Young 2 has 4GB of expandable storage, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0, a rear 3-megapixel camera, and a 1,300mAh battery. The Galaxy Star 2 has identical specifications, except its rear camera is downgraded to 2-megapixels.
Samsung Galaxy Young 2
Samsung has not detailed release details nor pricing for any of the announced smartphones.

"Well, then you must be as blind as Anne Frank."
Point is- Stop living with this crappy, self damaging attitude. You can't live your entire life just because you feel uncomfortable making a few waves. You have to fight for what you want.
Don't worry. I'm not going to bother you any more on this. You know how I feel about it.

char * and
c_str() returns a
const char []. Is there a good way to get around this without having to roll my own function to do it?
edit: I am also trying to avoid calling new. I will gladly trade slightly more complicated code for less memory leaks.

Excellence in Environmental Education Guidelines for Learning (K-12)
(revised 2010) provides students, parents, educators, home schoolers, policy
makers, and the public a set of common, voluntary guidelines for environmental literacy. The guidelines support state and local environmental education
efforts by:
These guidelines, organized into
four strands, set a standard for high-quality environmental education in
schools across the country, based on what an environmentally literate person
should know and be able to do. They draw on the best thinking in the field to
outline the core ingredients for environmental education.
The Excellence in Environmental Education: Guidelines
for Learning (K-12) Executive
Summary and Self Assessment Tool is also available for use as an easy
reference. As in the full document, the Executive Summary is organized into four
strands, each of which is further delineated by a set of guidelines that
describe a level of skill or knowledge appropriate for each of three grade
levels - fourth, eighth, and twelfth. In the Executive Summary, guidelines for a
particular strand are arranged on two page layouts, so that the user can quickly
understand the flow of guidelines at a grade level or compare how guidelines
progress across the grade levels. It should be remembered that the Executive
Summary is designed to provide only an overview.

ATLANTA- Tamera Anderson Hydrick and her husband, Robert, have been in the market for a new car. Their search came to an end when Mrs. Hydrick played Mustang Money, a Georgia Lottery instant game, and won a brand-new Ford Mustang convertible.
The mortgage specialist scratched the ticket while sitting in her car. She was so surprised that she went back into the store and asked the clerk to verify that it was a winning ticket. "I had to read it again and again," Mrs. Hydrick describes.
The Albany resident can now cruise in her convertible when she goes on fishing trips. "I'll have to scrape the bugs out of my teeth from smiling while driving with the top down," Mrs. Hydrick says.
Mrs. Hydrick purchased her winning ticket at Seymour Food Store #1. The store is located at 1200 Dawson Rd. in Albany.
Since its first year, the Georgia Lottery Corporation has returned over $7.6 billion to the state of Georgia for education. All Georgia Lottery profits go to pay for specific educational programs. These include Georgia's HOPE scholarship program; a statewide, voluntary pre-kindergarten program for four-year-olds; and a wide range of technological and capital upgrades for the state's schools, technical institutes, colleges, universities and public libraries.

Welcome to Western Carolina University's Writing, Rhetoric, and Composition Studies (WRCS - pronounced WORKS)program, which consists of two semesters of writing (ENGL 101 in your freshman year and ENGL 202 in your sophomore year) required by the university's Liberal Studies Program. On behalf of everybody in the English department, especially those of us who teach in the WRCS, we're glad you're here.
Composition and rhetoric is about more than writing. It's about ideas, philosophy, history, psychology, politics, economics, the world. It's about what interests you and what you can make interesting to others. In other words, composition is about your major and your life. What you learn in your two composition courses will prepare you for the next four years of college and for your working and personal life beyond this institution.

The Kroger Co. unveiled a clean energy production system that will convert food that cannot be sold or donated into clean energy to help power its Ralphs/Food 4 Less distribution center in Compton, Calif.
The anaerobic conversion system will process more than 55,000 tons of organic food waste into renewable energy annually, providing power for the more than 650,000 square foot distribution center. By diverting that food waste – the equivalent of 150 tons per day – the system will also reduce area truck trips by more than 500,000 miles each year. The Kroger Recovery System uses a process to convert the carbon in organic material into a renewable source of methane.
"We are committed to finding solutions for food waste and clean energy, and we believe this is a meaningful step forward," says Rodney McMullen , Kroger's president and chief operating officer. "Investing in this project is a good business decision for Kroger and, most importantly, an extraordinary opportunity to benefit the environment. We want to thank Governor Brown and his team at CalRecycle and CalEPA, the City of Compton, the SCAQMD, and our partners at FEED for making this renewable energy project a reality."
How it works:
The Kroger Recovery System utilizes anaerobic digestion, a naturally occurring process, to transform organic food that cannot be sold or donated, and onsite food-processing effluent, into renewable biogas. This biogas is then turned into power for onsite operations. The process is carried out in an enclosed, oxygen-free environment, which means the process takes up less space and generates no odors. The system will provide enough renewable biogas to offset more than 20% of the energy demand of the Ralphs/Food 4 Less distribution center. Combining the use of renewable energy power with more than 150 zero emission fuel cell forklifts, the Ralphs/Food4Less distribution center is now one of the greenest and most efficient, advancing the City of Compton as a leading sustainable community, observers say.

text: Big Threat to Amazon: Unseen Forest Fires They cause more damage than deforestation with their slow burns By John Johnson, Newser Staff Posted Jun 11, 2013 3:52 PM CDT STORY COMMENTS (10) (Newser) – Someone flying above the Amazon in a plane would see nothing amiss, but scores of small, slow-moving fires beneath the canopy of trees are destroying more land than deforestation, reports LiveScience. New satellite imaging from NASA has revealed these so-called "understory fires." Flames are only a few feet high, and the fires themselves move only a few feet per minute, but they can last several weeks, reports Nature World News. The culprit? Careless humans, apparently. These fires generally occur near populated areas, and they're often set off by campfires or discarded cigarettes—aided and abetted by low humidity. NASA researchers say the discovery of the fires will affect climate models. "We don't yet have a robust estimate of what the net carbon emissions are from understory fires, but widespread damages suggest that they are important source of emissions that we need to consider," says one.

It was a weekend of firsts for Glenville State College Admissions Counselor John (J.T.) Fox. A trip to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina the weekend of February 14th, was the first ever visit to the popular tourist spot for Fox. He made the trip to compete in his first ever marathon.
Fox, a Fall 2005 graduate of GSC, has been training for the 26.2 mile run since late October. He was a member of the GSC Pioneer football team while in college and also played football and ran track for Gilmer County High School, but until recently, he was never a serious runner. Dr. Danny Nicholson, GSC Senior Vice President for External Relations, an avid runner, inspired J.T. to start running with him, setting the lofty goal of running a marathon.
Fox and Nicholson would rise early every weekday morning to train. Starting at 6:00 a.m. they would run the roads of Gilmer County for an hour, covering between four and six miles each day. On Sundays, the duo would train in the afternoon with runs of between eight and twenty miles. Warm, cold, rain, sleet, or snow, Danny and J.T. ran.
On Saturday, February 14th, Fox realized his goal by completing the 2009 BI-Lo Myrtle Beach Marathon. He hoped to run his first marathon in under five hours. " It was a lot harder than I thought it would be. There were times when I didn't think I would make it. When I reached the twenty mile marker, I thought what in the world have I gotten myself into. The last six miles were really a bear," said Fox. But with the encouragement of other runners, he kept going and crossed the finish line in four hours and fifty-five minutes. "When I crossed the finish line, I felt an overwhelming sense of accomplishment. I just ran over twenty-six miles. That's like running from Glenville to Weston," he said.
Nicholson only ran the half marathon (13.2 miles), so he could take pictures, encourage his running partner, and watch Fox finish. Having completed several marathons himself, Nicholson can appreciate the effort that Fox put forth. "For J.T. to make a commitment to train for and complete a marathon is amazing. It is a celebration of the human spirit," said Nicholson.
Fox and Nicholson have resumed their training and plan to run in another race this summer, although it may not be a marathon. However, they do plan to run another marathon in the future, the Boston Marathon.

Draft Day(s) Thread 2012
Use this thread to organize all draft talk here..... Can't wait!
Wait, the draft discussion thread didn't work anymore? ;)
Anywho, can't wait either.. Chandler Jonezzzzz please!
it does, i just meant during the actual draft and the few days afterwards..... its much easier to find what we all said about this draft a year from now :-)
I have a feeling BB is gonna do something crazy and either trade up to the top 12 for Chandler Jones or take Bruce Irvin in the first round
Just heard Lombardi say on Path to the Draft that the Pats really like Chandler Jones but that they have no shot at him at 27 and he'll be long gone by then.. possibly even top 10. Wow. He usually seems to have a lot of good inside info, so we'll see if that proves to be true.
McShay jokingly (I think) just suggested the Pats should make a big bundle of picks and move up to take Trent Richardson. Well do it dammit.
Razor should be happy.
ARZ at 13 would be a good target; the OL they need will be too early at that pick, they don't have a 2nd, and 27 and 48 gets you to 13.
edit: Not that I'm advocating a trade (I'm fine either way) but that would seem the play if BB does indeed like Jones as much as Stacey Dales implies.
I am happy to hear that, but last year everyone was saying that we were moving up to #10 and take Quinn/Kerrigan and nothing happened. I do believe that they're just pulling this out of their asses tbh, but I hope they're right.
welcome to draft day boys.... let the rumors begin!
NFL Net's Mike Lombardi on Chandler Jones: "I think Chandler Jones has a chance to be a top-10 pick. (#Patriots) are not gonna get (him)."
I'm starting to think a realistic dream draft looks something like this
1a. Kendall Wright
1b. Nick Perry
2a. Devon Still
2b. Janoris Jenkins
3. Brandon Taylor
We'll trade out of both picks tonight and have restocked 2013 as well as part of the rest of 2012.
Two positions BB has never drafted in the first round: WR and OLB. If any draft breaks that streak this will be it. If Wright is sitting there at 27 I think they would be hard pressed to pass on him depending on who else is available.
As far as trading down, it seems to me that will be harder this year, but then I suppose there are always 'hot seat' GMs and coaches.
I like Wright in the second. His stock was way too high earlier in the draft process but I think he might have found his level in the early to mid second round. He has a lot of speed and can catch the ball pretty well, but he's not a guy who will consistently make defenders miss and take it to the house. I like to compare him to Deion Branch with a bit more speed and less refinement as a route runner.
Nolan Nawrocki has us taking Fleener at 31. I'm actually alright with that should we be unable to trade out. Other than that the usual picks for NE seems to be McClellin and H. Smith.
What cmarq said; in other mock news someone posted a link to Gosselin's mock. He has taking Upshaw and Smith. I was under the impression he no longer was doing mocks. edit: not gosselin's mock.
cross post with razor: I agree in principal, but adding a tight end like that is as Lombardi would say is "collecting talent" I don't think it helps the team as a whole (I was under the impression Nawrocki was mocking a trade of some sort.
last year's prospect that the pats were hot for was cam jordan. they had the chance to get him, but didnt. false rumor.
this year it seems like the two hot prospects for us are chandler jones and trumaine johnson. we would have to move up to get jones, and we could probably reach on johnson in the first. is this the year the rumors are true?
we shall see
names being thrown out for a possible trade up to 12: chandler jones, mark barron, and local boy luke kuechly

GOP: The more the merrier
In a report speculating that former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush may run for president in 2016, The New York Times observes, "When Senator Marco Rubio of Florida held a strategy session here to discuss his own political future last week, the question of Mr. Bush, a mentor, hung over the room; a decision by Mr. Bush, 59, to seek the Republican nomination would almost certainly halt any plans by Mr. Rubio, 41, to do so or abruptly set off a new intraparty feud."
The reporters don't identify a source for that proposition, and Republicans should hope that notion doesn't represent Rubio's thinking. Why should his candidacy hang on what Jeb Bush wants to do any more than on what a dozen other potential candidates decide? This will not be a race for Florida office but a nationwide contest with donors, supporters and voters cast far and wide.
Moreover, these are two very different candidates with different life experiences. Bush has the experience of a chief executive of his state and an education reformer. Rubio represents a new generation, is developing a depth of knowledge in foreign policy and will, by 2016, have been through multiple battles on the budget, taxes and entitlements. Bush brings a wealth of reassuring competence; Rubio brings eloquence and the immigrant life story. There is plenty of room for them should they both decide to run.
Rather than react to what other candidates are doing or not doing, Rubio and other Republicans contemplating a run should figure out what vision they have for the country or their states and what policies they will champion, develop and explain. The field will fall into place in due time, but motivated candidates with something to say should be willing to put themselves out there whatever the competition.
In general, the more candidates the better for the Republicans in 2016. At least initially no one knows who will bomb and who will soar.
It is evident that Rubio, Bush, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis., would start with ready pools of supporters and donors. Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., may be in this batch as well. These high-visibility Republicans have enough name recognition and enthusiastic followers to command attention and potentially win early races.
To create buzz and lure donors, other contenders with less prominent profiles will have to start early — traveling, campaigning for other candidates and accessing free media. We saw Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal start down this route already. A long list of able GOP governors (e.g., Virginia's Bob McDonnell, Ohio's John Kasich, New Mexico's Susana Martinez) and Sens. Bob Portman, R-Ohio, and Kelly Ayotte, R-N.H., among others, may take that avenue. These candidates by sheer persistence will need to break through the crowd and media din to find their own space in the contest.
For the near future, the more the merrier in the field of potential candidates. It is a very long time until the start of yet another primary season. In the meantime, if smart GOP pols are looking to make a mark, expand the appeal of the Republican Party and offer their own creative solutions, the party and the country as a whole will be the better for it.
