JONESBORO — About 300 parents, students and officials turned out for the "safer schools" community forum Thursday night.
Jeff Smoot arrived early to the event held at Mundy's Mill High. The father of freshman Jemaria Smoot, 14, was there earlier that day to participate in the school's National Parent Involvement Day activities.
Smoot, who is also chair of the school council, made his mission returning to participate in the forum.
"Safer schools mean safer kids," he said. "It's conducive to a great learning environment."
Smoot said his main objective as an active parent is to help give students "a feeling of safety so they do not have to worry about being bullied or threatened by gangs" by bringing such activity to the attention of school administrators.
Mundy's Mill High School principal William Greene and student Marquis Kempson thanked parents and community members for turning out.
Several administrators attended the forum also looking to gain insight on how best to approach the issue of school safety and security. Sitting in the school cafeteria, they were flanked by officers from various local law enforcement agencies, including the Clayton County Public Schools Police Department.
Superintendent Luvenia Jackson, who led the way in creating the schools police department last summer, was the first to speak to the crowd.
"You've heard this so many times before — it takes a village," Jackson said as she spoke about gang violence and bullying in schools.
"What we have said in no uncertain terms is that we're not going to have it in our schools," she said, addressing parents. "It begins with you because the school does not buy guns. The school doesn't issue guns. It comes through the doors."
Speakers, throughout the event, pointed at the potential consequences for misconduct and criminal activity.
Teaching and Learning Executive Director Tamera Foley outlined penalties contained in the district's student code of conduct and written in the student-parent handbook. Bullying and gang-related activity were among the issues she covered.
Alicia Dunn, coordinator in the department of guidance and counseling, followed her by describing bullying in its different forms.
The district's police Chief Clarence Cox III addressed the crowd, reiterating the purpose of the forum was to engage parents in addressing issues related to school safety and security.
"It's not a district problem, it's not a national problem," Cox said. "It's a worldwide problem."
Cox introduced the forum's featured speaker, Gregory Thomas, who is the former chief of New York City Schools.
"The schools are a microcosm of society," Thomas said. "(Troubled youth) they are out there reaching and speaking to you for help. They want to belong to something."
Clayton County Juvenile Court Chief Judge Steven Teske followed Thomas. His voice boomed over the speakers.
"Our strength is in the numbers that you see here tonight," Teske said.
"We spend too much time locking up and arresting the kids who make us mad," he said. "We must learn to differentiate between the kids who scare us and the kids who make us mad."
Clayton County is beginning to embrace the mentality.
Teske said the county has managed to form a national model for intergovernmental partnerships among school system, Juvenile Court and law enforcement to limit the number of juveniles entering the criminal justice system.
"This is not the first time Ms. Jackson has been to this rodeo," he said.
Teske said that since 2003, with the leadership of Jackson thenas an assistant superintendent, the number of juvenile crime cases has decreased by 60 percent. He said the turnaround happened when police and authority figures began being more positive towards students.
"It's called the positive student engagement of school policing," he said. "We have to make sure that the ones we target are the ones who scare us."
Those who fall through the cracks may have to answer with adult consequences, Assistant District Attorney Jason Green said.
Green spoke about "life after 16," the age at which alleged criminals are treated as adults in the criminal justice system.
"We have to get this right by 16," he said. "Because otherwise they go to a whole other level. We don't want that kind of graduation. We don't want them graduating from Juvenile Court to my court."

|Woops, missed Kj's post! Bad Joanie, No cookie!
"So, how many of you watched Junior win the first of the Twin 150s today? Was that boy happy, or what? So far, since he's joined the Hendricks team, he's 2 for 2. Can he make it 3 for 3 this weekend? That would just make my day."
It's recorded and I am going to savor it. Three-for-three would be like a sweet hollywood movie, only 1000 times better. I love my Smoke, but Jr. has won me over, bigtime, with the way he has handled the last year. Quite a man, that Jr.!
"By the way, I'm happy to see that NASCAR's decided to lighten up on things like language. I'm not promoting vulgarity, but an occasional hell or damn, especially in the heat of the moment, is all right in my book."
Yep - now they're saying that passion is what makes the sport, and they won't censor the passion anymore, within reason - I guess they're remembering that what brought NASCAR to prime viewing was the Cale Y./Donnie A. fisticuffs. If they made The Drivers and The Sport any more clean then it was, I'd be gone. This isn't Sunday School. It is racin', and it is passionate.
"And I got to hear a little of it today when Kenny Wallace was being interviewed and several hells snuck out. But Herman was so happy! And I see and hear a whole lot worse watching prime time TV!"
Oh, man, Kj, we talked about The Herminator making it in on another thread. Cain't wait to see the tape!

To improve the delivery of healthcare services through the use of video, Stat Doctors has developed a mobile app called eVisits—available for iPad, iPhone and Android smartphones. The app provides the same features as a computer application and links members with board-certified ER physicians for on-demand treatment of minor illnesses and common medical conditions.
"Health care delivery is shifting rapidly toward an affordable, on-demand model, yet it's imperative that convenience doesn't compromise quality," said Dr. Alan C. Roga, M.D., F.A.C.E.P., founder and CEO of Stat Health Services, the providers of Stat Doctors.
Customer Care
With an average wait time of six minutes, patients can use the app to seek treatment for minor illnesses such as respiratory infections, influenza, strep throat and other non-emergency conditions.
The entire health care delivery model is available through the app—including HD video enabling patients and doctors to communicate as they would in person.
Doctors can ePrescribe medications, instantly delivering them to the patient's pharmacy of choice.
Within 72 hours of every eVisit, a follow-up call is conducted to ensure the patient's recovery.
Patients are treated solely by an exclusive network of board-certified ER physicians.
Mobile Health
The American Telemedicine Association estimates more than 10 million Americans directly benefited from telemedicine over the past year, and this number is expected to more than double by 2016.
Moreover, according to a January report from comScore, mobile devices accounted for 55% of Internet usage in the United States, and apps made up 47% of total traffic.
Anticipating the growing demand for mobile health care services, Stat Doctors created a HIPAA-compliant app offering high-quality, secure and immediate care utilizing video.

Love it or hate it: Kerry Washington's mixed media Peter Pilotto dress
Every once in awhile, a dress comes along that stirs a lot of fashionable debate. That's exactly what happened when Kerry attended the Rome photocall for her film, Django Unchained. Always one to take a bit of a fashion risk, the actress wore this complex Peter Pilotto Spring 2013 dress with contrasting patterns, ruffles and cut-out accents. Instead of playing it safe when it came to her footwear choice, she opted for blue printed pumps by Nicholas Kirkwood. Kerry also accessorized with a pair of Monique Pean earrings and a Solange Azagury-Partridge ring. The look has its fans as well as detractors and we're quite divided on this one.
So, what do you think of Kerry's photocall ensemble?

EF girls edge West Mifflin in OT, 46-42
TribLIVE Sports Videos
There wasn't much Elizabeth Forward coach Sam Kosanovich could do except shake his head after the Warriors played Monday at West Mifflin.
His team's shooting percentage was abysmal, they committed more turnovers than he could have imagined and capped it off by blowing a 10-point lead in the fourth quarter.
About the only thing that went right for Kosanovich was that EF found a way to escape with a 46-42 overtime win against its Section 4 AAA rival in the first of their two meetings.
"By no means was it a well-played game on both sides, but you have those through the season and, if you work your way through it, that's okay," Kosanovich said. "We're fortunate to come out of here with a win."
That might be an understatement. Elizabeth Forward (15-1, 7-0) committed an uncharacteristic 23 turnovers and made only 12 of 44 (27.3 percent) from the floor in regulation. The Warriors were especially bad with the ball trying to protect the lead in the fourth quarter as they gave it away eight times to aid the West Mifflin comeback.
West Mifflin (6-8, 5-2) was able to chip away at the lead. The Titans finally finished their comeback when guard Paige Flore, who led the team with 15 points, drilled a three-pointer to tie the game, 36-36, with 27.8 seconds to play in regulation.
That was when West Mifflin made, perhaps, its biggest gaffe.
Senior Marla Small made an incredible play when she blocked a potential game-winning Elizabeth Forward shot and, after Flore rebounded, West Mifflin forced the ball over midcourt and called time out with 12.1 seconds remaining. With one possession and an opportunity to perhaps pull off a huge upset, the Titans went into overtime with a whimper after never even getting a good look at the basket, much less a final shot, before time expired in the fourth quarter.
West Mifflin threw away any upset chance it had with seven turnovers in the overtime. Despite the mistakes, the Titans were only down, 44-41, with 1.6 seconds left, but Flore was fouled just inside the arc and given a two-shot foul instead of three.
Though she made the first shot, she purposely missed the second hoping for a putback. But Dana Buck, who had 16 points and 12 rebounds, grabbed the loose ball and, after she was fouled, closed it out at the line for Elizabeth Forward.
Charleroi 45, Washington 30
The Lady Cougars (12-5, 7-1) seized control of the Section 5 AA game early, going on an 18-4 run in the first quarter against Washington (8-7, 5-3).
Junior Lynsey Wright scored a career-high 15 points for Charleroi while junior teammate Carina Gottheld added 13. Both had five points in the first quarter.
Washington was led by Mya Gordon with 15 points.
"It was a great win for us, especially on the road at Washington," said Charleroi coach Joe Grodz. "My girls just put it all out there in this game. They really played hard and I'm so proud of them."
Charleroi hosts South Side Beaver in section action Thursday.
Monessen 52, Avella 49
Two days after getting beaten by 31 points at home by Chartiers-Houston, the Lady Greyhounds had an impressive non-section road win over Avella.
Monessen (4-10) outscored the Lady Eagles (9-6) 17-4 in the second quarter to take a 29-19 halftime lead and then held on.
Mariah Ward scored a game-high 19 points while sophomore Mariha Johnson added 16 points.
Avella was led by Kenna Drazich with 15 points and Olivia English with 12 points.
The Lady Greyhounds travel to Frazier Thursday.
Ringgold 64, Waynesburg 19
The Lady Rams (7-8, 4-4) used the early hot hand of Eleni Radic to roll over Waynesburg in Section 4 AAA.
Radic scored 13 points, including hitting three three-pointers, as Ringgold raced out to a 23-5 lead and never looked back.
"We played really relaxed and that's what I've been trying to get them to do," said Ringgold coach Nick Mandich. "It was ice to see us play that way."
Radic finished with 15 points and Bailey Cooper added 13.
Ringgold hosts West Mifflin Thursday.
Uniontown 75, Yough 17
The Lady Cougars (6-11, 1-7) were never in the game against Uniontown (12-2, 7-1) as Danasha Harris scored 16 points.
Natalie Peebles had five points for Yough, which hosts Southmoreland Thursday.
S.S. Beaver 58, Bentworth 36
Bentworth fell to 2-6 in Section 5 AA (4-11 overall) with the loss at South Side Beaver (6-10, 4-4).
No other information was available on the game.

Andy Cohen: Imposing Challenges Await Dolphins
Posted By Andy Cohen On July 29, 2013 @ 5:42 am In Football | 2 Comments
[1]Andy Cohen In The Morning appears every Monday through Friday until the end of the season, except for the bye week. The column is posted each day at 6 a.m.
Have a question for A.C.? Submit your questions to Andy Cohen on Twitter at @ACohenFins [2].
The urgency surrounding this football team as it begins its second week of training camp is clearly punctuated by an early season schedule that is downright imposing [3].
Look at the first five games. Look hard. Then swallow hard. You've got three playoff teams from a year ago. You've got the Super Bowl champions. You've got an Atlanta team that has the look of something special. You've got Drew Brees on Monday night football in New Orleans. You've got the first two games on the road.
Yes, you've got a major early-season headache.
If the Dolphins are going to be good – and I truly believe they will be – they had better be good in a hurry.
Ask the players about the ridiculous road they must travel through September and early October, and they'll undoubtedly answer with that "one game at a time" cliché. They'll tell you they can't worry about the schedule, that injuries could change things anyway and that right now all of their attention is on Sept. 8th in Cleveland. All completely valid.
Or, as guard Richie Incognito put it: "We've got enough on our plate right now." [4]
But part of my job as your morning columnist is to look at the big picture and what that five-game stretch tells me is that this football team better leave training camp with a polished product, or at least very close to it.
That is the underlying theme of this camp. Put the pieces together. Feel good about the progress. Get better every day. Build to a point where those five preseason games can get you ready for a wild early-season ride. Nobody likes to talk about the schedule. But it is there right in front of us, as imposing a challenge as any team in this league will face through the early weeks of the season.
Here's a sneak preview to ponder:
Opener at Cleveland: The Browns are in a clear rebuilding mode and this sets up as a game the Dolphins, even on the road, should have an excellent chance of winning. But when you throw this game into the big mix, when you consider who is waiting down the road, getting off a 1-0 start becomes that much more important.
Indy for seconds: Two straight road games is never the desired way to start a season, but the Dolphins must figure out a way to overcome this. The Colts present an imposing challenge, especially for a revamped Dolphins secondary going up against Andrew Luck. The Colts are a solid, up-and-coming team. But so are the Dolphins. I fully expect one of those down-to-the-wire games.
Home opener against Atlanta: So the 1966 Packers weren't available? Instead, the Dolphins get a perennial playoff team, a team with seemingly all of its pieces firmly in place. The Falcons are loaded. They are the real deal. Find an obvious weakness. You really can't. The Dolphins can certainly pull off the upset. But it will take one of those complete efforts you hear so much about.
Monday night in New Orleans: Does someone with the NFL have a Dolphins doll with little needles poked in it? I mean: this is almost cruel. Is there a tougher place to play than New Orleans on a Monday night? Those fans. That atmosphere. How Brees never seems to play poorly in that wild environment. This could prove to be the most imposing test of the season.
Unless it's the next Sunday against Baltimore at Sun Life Stadium: That's right, the Dolphins follow the Saints on a Monday night six days later with the defending Super Bowl champions. Are you kidding me? What, the 1978 Pittsburgh Steelers couldn't book a flight?
So let's review: After opening with two games on the road, the Dolphins must face the Falcons, Saints and Ravens in consecutive games. The bottom line here is this: We're going to learn a lot about the 2013 Dolphins long before we hit midseason. We're going to see how much Ryan Tannehill really has progressed [5], if the young running backs can step up, if the improved pass rush can make a difference and if the secondary can hold up to the challenge of facing some of the top passing teams in the league.
Right now the only thing the players and coaches are talking about is a scrimmage tonight at Sun Life Stadium followed six days later by the preseason opener in the Hall of Fame game against Dallas. The focus is taking a step forward every day, to find answers in the areas that troubled this team a season ago like the red zone offense and securing takeaways on defense.
There is no talk about that five-game gauntlet, no talk about such a defining run of games so early in the season. And that's the way it should be. September, after all, still seems like a long way off. But, in truth, everything that happens this summer should be directly linked to a team that must find its mojo in a hurry.
So what happens after this brutal five-game stretch? The Dolphins get their bye week. Guess we should all be grateful for small favors.
Check back Tuesday at 6 a.m. as A.C. In the A.M. looks at tonight's scrimmage at Sun Life Stadium.

Solutia To Exit Acrylic Fibers Business
Solutia Inc., a St. Louis-based supplier of applied chemistry solutions, has announced plans to exit the acrylic fibers business, pending bankruptcy court approval. The plan calls for the closing of Solutia's acrylic fibers operation at its Decatur, Ala., plant by early to mid-April, and will affect approximately 250 company employees and 200 contractors.
"Despite the tremendous efforts of those within our acrylic business to reduce costs and improve productivity, the business has simply been unable to compete as fiber and textile manufacturing has moved outside the United States," said John Saucier, president, Integrated Nylon. "In the coming weeks, we will work diligently to ensure our employees impacted by this event are treated fairly, and to support our customers as they transition to other suppliers."
Solutia will continue to produce chemical intermediates for use in nylon products at the Decatur plant.
The company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in December 2003. "A key component of our
reorganization strategy is to reshape our asset portfolio so that it consists of high-potential
businesses leveraged on Solutia's core competencies that can consistently deliver returns in excess
of their cost of capital," said Jeffry N. Quinn, president and CEO.

When biotechnical companies need specialized expertise, they often look overseas. Since 1990, an initiative by Congress known as the H-1B program has provided three-year visas for such foreigners to work here temporarily.
But H-1B has run into problems because global outsourcing firms are grabbing up the available visas.
This is bad news for Connecticut's small but vigorous biotech and biopharmaceutical sectors.

FRANKLIN — Mark Canright and his wife, Amy Hansen, are committed to organic agriculture and are beginning to practice chemical-free farming with the help of the federal, state and local governments.
They bought a 38-acre farm on the Warren County-Hunterdon County line in 2004 and are confident of converting the entire operation into an organic farm by the end of this year.
They have begun growing fruits and vegetables on Comeback Farm using natural substances like manure-based compost and ground-up fish to nourish crops, instead of chemical fertilizers and pesticides like their conventional farm neighbors in the fertile Musconetcong River Valley.
"It's a little quicker and a little easier to (farm) chemically. But then the tradeoffs . . . are that fertilizer ends up in your local river. It's made out of petroleum so it can have toxic effects on soil," said Canright, the son of a Somerset County biology teacher-turned-organic farmer. "We have all the ingredients to grow tremendously with this amount of acreage. I have a decent amount of machinery. The demand (for locally grown organic produce) is knocking down the door."
Congress is considering providing more help to organic and smaller farms, like those in New Jersey. If New Jersey lawmakers and a growing number of congressional supporters have their way, organic growers would get increased aid, and chemical-free agriculture would get more research support under next year's farm bill.
Most Garden State lawmakers support adding about $3 billion to the farm bill to help fruit and vegetable growers and aid land conservation. Others champion reducing existing subsidies to large growers of commodity crops like wheat, soybean, corn, rice and cotton growers in the Midwest and South and boosting payments to organic and small farmers.
Like many other organic farmers, Canright and Hansen say people are clamoring for chemical-free produce because it tastes better though it takes longer to grow and is more expensive than conventionally grown fruits and vegetables, which dominate grocery-store shelves.
"Organic is better for people's health and the health of the Earth," said Hansen, a policy analyst at the New Jersey Conservation Foundation.
Farmland conservation payments totaling $256,000 $49,000 from the federal government and the rest from state and local sources helped Canright and Hansen buy farm equipment, fencing to keep deer out, and seeds and saplings. They also helped them continue restoring their home, a 1740s-era farmhouse on the property, and essentially survive while they wait for all their land to become suitable for organic farming. Much of that money is gone.
"We have been able to limp along, on (my) nonprofit salary," said Hansen, 45. "Government money has been incredibly helpful."
Canright, 49, smiled slowly and quipped: "A wife with a nonfarm job very important to farm survival."
They received the payments by selling development rights to Comeback Farm, which ensures that it will remain in agricultural use forever. That curbs urban sprawl by keeping developers from buying the farm to build homes or shopping malls.
Prepping for certification
The payments came with a condition, Canright said: He can't farm on much of the land for three years while he preps it to become certified as an organic farm by doing things like planting grass and "cover crops" to nourish the soil and get rid of chemicals that leached into it over decades when the property was a conventional farm.
Canright has big plans for Comeback Farm once it gets full certification after this year. It is only partially certified now. New Jersey has about 2,200 organic farmers and that number is expected to grow. The total number of farmers in the state, conventional and organic: 15,000 out of an overall population of 8.7 million last year.
Organic growers can be successful in a wealthy state like New Jersey because people will pay more for chemical-free food, said the Comeback Farm's neighbor, conventional grower Bill Jelliffe. A corn and wheat producer who has more than 100 acres of farmland, he engaged in a friendly debate with his organic neighbors about the merits of organic versus mainstream farming.
Without chemicals and modern practices such as genetically modified seeds that produce big yields, large-scale farming wouldn't be possible, Jelliffe said, arguing that organic farming alone won't produce enough food to feed America's 300 million people and export farm products the world over, despite Canright's and Hansen's views to the contrary.
That's why future farm legislation will and must continue to support conventional growers, Jelliffe said.
"Uncle Sam will never let the American public run out of food," he said. "(Organic farming) is what I would call a niche market.
"You've got a certain clientele that's making good money husband and wife and a couple of children and they're looking to eat healthier, right? . . . (But) there's also Americans out there just looking for something to eat. There are those people still here in America who can't afford the higher-priced, chemical-free food."
A lot of work ahead
Canright is growing organic vegetables on four acres now after getting early approval from the government. He anticipates having enough cucumbers, tomatoes, beans, snap peas, eggplant, lettuce and other produce to sell at the produce stand he plans to build by the end of July.
He recently planted apples, peaches and Asian pears on six additional acres. The seeds are under black tarpaulins, and the peach saplings are beginning to sprout leaves, but the trees won't bear fruit for at least three years. Watermelon, corn and pumpkins are among other produce the farm will soon offer.
Much of the remaining acreage is meadowland, which Canright said he would mow and plow into the earth to serve as nourishment for the variety of crops he wants to grow.
But he has a lot of work to do, beginning with eradicating the stubborn rye that grows wild and tall on land he wants to convert into an orchard.
"Notice the thickness and color of this rye," he said.
"This is what we are up against. After 50 or 60 years of chemical farming on this land, there is not that much natural fertility in the soil. It is a multiyear soil building process," Canright said on a mild and breezy June afternoon.
"We will rotate around the different parcels of this farm. And the parcels that are resting fallow we'll do things like grow fertility-improving crops or spread compost on those lands and get them ready for when we do use them."
Then, squinting into the sun from under a baseball cap, Canright said: "It will be a farm forever."

Is Rihanna going to marry Chris Brown? Well that's the latest rumour about this crazy pair and though they've yet to confirm a romance, insiders claim they'll be getting hitched this New Year's Eve.
It was recently claimed that the couple were planning to spend the holidays together, with Riri booking a holiday for all their friends and family on her native island of Barbados.
A source told The Sun: "She's booked him and his mum into a five-star villa in Barbados over New Year so they can all get some downtime with her family."
"But they're unrepentant and they want to show the whole world that they've moved on from what happened in 2009."
Adding: "While no one else can understand it, she's convinced that Chris is the love of her life and her soulmate and that they're simply meant to be together."
But is their an alternative motive? According to Hollyscoop.com the couple are actually planning a surprise wedding and has been telling her friends to keep their NYE free so they can come to her wedding.
While this is just a rumour, it's not the first time a marriage between the pair have been discussed. Riri's father came out and said he would love his daughter to marry the 'Yeah X3' star.
Ronald Fenty told The Sun: "I hope one day she will get married. Everyone adores Chris. He is a good person and always gave me great respect."
Watch this space for a Ri/Chris wedding - we're sure it'll be a corker of a party!

In DIL s.v. "dochell" we find:
"ardibdaba dochell bl�tha : inhospitality will destroy flowers"
quoted from RC xxvi 38 � 198
Aarghh. I promised Clodagh another seanfhocal, but following up
the above citation I've *just* discovered that this is a line from
I2T aka "The Colloquy of the Two Sages", which we hacked at a number
of years ago. The line may, just maybe, have a proverbial use or
origin, but in context it's just one of Fercertne's long litany
of pessimistic pronouncements about the days to come.
But I guess it *does* do a nice job of encapsulating the old belief
that human behaviour (the king's actions in particular) influenced
the fruitfulness of the earth. The gloss for this identifies the
"flowers" as "mess 7 torud".
Now, to make sense of the verb.

Data Hungry: Surveillance Is Never Enough
Posted By Jason Ditz On June 13, 2013 @ 7:34 pm In News | Comments Disabled
The NSA's PRISM scheme is already surveilling the entire American public to an enormous level, culling massive amounts of data from the PRISM Nine companies that have been complicit in that policy.
So it's no surprise that the International Cyber Security Conference in Tel Aviv this week turned its focus on PRISM. Here's the scary part: they don't think it goes far enough [1].
RSA's chairman, ironically the head of a company that used to be about protecting data from prying eyes, argued for "full visibility into all data" as the only real path to cybersecurity.
"All data" is exactly what it sounds like, literally everything, everywhere, in the world. Which would've been unthinkable just a couple of weeks ago, but now that we know that the NSA is already spying on a solid majority of our most important and most private data, it isn't that surprising that they'd like to have everything else too. I mean, why not go for broke?
See it's not longer just enough to have access to all your emails, they also need access to the preferences file of your email client, because maybe the way you configured it is significant. Knowing everyone you called is nice, but how about what custom ringtones you used?
The "relevant data" question has already been dispensed with by officials arguing that literally anything could be "relevant," so there is no practical limit to this scheme. Some day, the NSA may need your saved game file from Sim City, because maybe the way you designed that city will be the final piece of the puzzle to figuring you out.
It's not only terrifying how broad their reach is, but how many perfectly innocent little coincidences they are bound to uncover this way, which through the eyes of suspicious bureaucrats will be immediately transitioned into certainty of a horrible, imminent catastrophe.

Lew last night admitted he and chairman Wong Kwan had been arrested by the ICAC on January 8 and are both now on bail.
This came as the company said it is in the process of securing a new auditor after Grant Thornton Hong Kong resigned from the post on Friday.
The stock last traded at HK$0.63 on January 8, when it was suspended pending the release of an announcement "in relation to inside information."
On the day, rumors surfaced about Wong being questioned by the ICAC.
Wong holds a 24.63 percent stake in Pearl Oriental to Lew's 5.65 percent holding as of June 30.
Last month, the firm said it may buy up to 83 percent of Toronto-listed energy firm Petrox Resources, which has potential oil reserves of 160 million barrels.
Last week, Wong declared to the media that he was fine but added: "My company has been facing tough challenges." He then added: "I will try my best to sail through."
Lew was appointed as vice chairman of Pearl Oriental at the end of 2009.
It is believed his biggest contribution to the company was raising HK$500 million for the acquisition of overseas gas fields.
Lew has been active in the foreign exchange and futures markets for a long time and served as chairman of several listed companies in the past.
Wong also used to be very a high- profile person. But he has become less so in recent years. His last public appearance was at a November 2011 function to support Chief Executive Leung Chun- ying's election campaign.
It is believed Wong had been persuaded by Lew to attend the event.
Wong, 64, said he has known Leung for two decades as both were in the property business.
Before tapping the natural resources sector, Wong was active in property investment, which turned him into a billionaire in the 1980s and 1990s.
The cook-turned businessman bought two well-known homes on The Peak in 1996, only to sell them at huge losses after the Asian financial crisis.
One of the homes was bought by comedian Stephen Chow Sing-chi.
Both Lew and Wong are from humble backgrounds and came to Hong Kong from the mainland when young. They are said to have remained friends.

I know a lot about white spaces.
I work in a white-walled space. Blank canvas.
I bake from white bowls. Blank canvas.
I type words into a white page. Blank canvas.
Working in white can offer a sense of freedom… like anything is possible. Working in white can also be overwhelming… like, whaaattt the heck do I do?
Where do we pull our color inspiration from? That's a big question right? Let's talk this out.
I'm talking about whites because, for the first time, I'm taking my office space from white to not white… and I definitely need some help. Where do you go from white?
Going from white to not white requires loads of inspiration.
Inspiration abounds. This cabin in Ojai surrounded by big green, and purple speckled brush?
Maybe green is the way to go!
Maybe greens will remind me of the time I got to make wildflower bouquets with my friend Andrea.
Maybe deep greens will remind me of my friend Whitney's summer birthday party.
Maybe my deep greens should be paired with bright pops of warm color like pinks and oranges.
I'm surrounded by palm trees. This green is gorgeous!
But wait… do I really want to commit to green walls? Maybe I just need to find a potted plant (that my cat won't eat). Hm… this is hard.
I know where to find inspiration.
I mean… really. All of my color inspiration comes from the kitchen.
Clearly I should paint my walls watermelon colors… with the the melon stripes… because how gorgeous is that!?
I love the way this deep peach plays with the dark grey tones.
Food for thought.
Whites and tans and texture.
Dreamy! And the coconut is so snackable right out of the oven.
Brights and grays inspire!
Always and forever… something with color sprinkles!
With all of my color and photo inspiration, I headed over to My Colortopia to get some guidance from Michael Wurm Jr. It turns out that I hit the jackpot when it comes to turning photos into color inspiration. Michael showed me how to upload my food photos into My Colortopia tool My Image Inspiration and pull out actual paints colors that could help me transform my space from white to not white!
Michael didn't even bat an eye when I tried to find a paint color inspired by my kitten's orange fur… yea.
I wanted to work a bit of geometry into my transformation, and Michael helped me find colors that would feel edible, fun, unique, and just… me! After some quality time with some painter's tape, rollers, step stools, and gallons of paint… I LOVE my away-from-white wall! I can't wait to share it with you. Soon!
75 thoughts on "Away From White"
Clearly, you chose the colors of bourbon and dark chocolate….. right?!
Looking forward to seeing the "after" pictures!!! So exciting to totally redo a room.
Squeeee! MUST SEE FINISHED PHOTOS.
I love home transformations. I have taupe walls. It has always been hard for me to commit to a color on the walls.
I know what you mean! Straying away from white can be hard for me too. Can't wait to see what you come up with!
Ooo! Cannot wait to see the final product! Food colors + office space + geometry. . . very intriguing!!
No fair, share it now! ;)
It's all about the colored sprinkles, but love your away from white wall :)
i love love love geometric patterns. and i loveee food inspired colour. Can't wait to see!
I cant wait to see the final outcome. My office is all white, very clean and bright. Great for a working day.
I cannot wait! Making a change like that is really a commitment and a serious life experience. I mean, you have to live with that everyday and work with it since you take pictures. All the best!
I totally get the white walls thing, they act as a canvas definitely, however, I also get that a change is as good as a rest!
Oh, I can't wait to see it! Especially excited to see if you use a cat shade!
I can't wait to see how it works out. We rent, so we can't even put holes in the walls. My living room is decorated with stick on mustaches. I wish I was kidding. Your office is going to be so rad. Looking forward to seeing it here.
How exciting! Room/house makeovers are so fun and very excited to see what you chose and how it looks! Michael has such a great eye and I'm sure between the two of you, you came up with something super fun!

November 29, 2015
Snow-covered roadways are to blame for dozens of fender benders, spin outs and accidents throughout the Truckee Meadows. And as roads freeze over..driving conditions will become even more dangerous.
That's why Reno street crews will be out in full force all night long with snow plows. They're also dropping sand and salt to help with traction....and they're urging drivers to their part by slowing down and allowing plenty of time to get wherever they need to go.
This latest storm also caused accidents and traffic snarls on highways all over the truckee meadows, trapping many holiday travelers for the night. Here on Interstate 80 the winter weather also stopped truckers in their tracks. They were steered off at Gold Ranch and began to flood truck stops and line up on the side of the interstate as the waited.

reddit user posting behavior (mid-2013)
Olson, Randy (2013): reddit user posting behavior (mid-2013). figshare.http://dx.doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.874101
This file contains the posting preferences for over 850,000 active reddit users. This sample was taken in mid-2013.
This data was used to generate the interactive visualization, "redditviz," and will be analyzed in detail in an upcoming research article.
Please cite our paper "Navigating the massive world of reddit" if you use this data in your work. URL: http://arxiv.org/abs/1312.3387
The file is organized as follows:
Each line is an entry for an anonymous user. Each user was randomly assigned a unique ID, which is what shows in the first entry of each line.
Following the user ID, separated by commas, are the subreddits (i.e., interests) that the user regularly posts in. In order for a user to be considered "active" in that subreddit, they had to post or comment there at least 10 times in their last 1,000 posts and comments.

Three women say a Martin City police officer did some dirty work on February 1st and they're willing to take a polygraph test to prove they were sexually and physically assaulted. Thursday they filed a lawsuit against the officer and the city of Martin. WYMT sat down with the women to hear what they say happened. Their identities have been concealed for protection.
It's a night that still haunts these three women. A 19, 20 and 22 year old say they were playing video games with friends until they say two officers showed up on a noise complaint. The guys at the party were told to leave. The women say everything settled down at the home until Martin City Police Officer Jeremy Shepard took them all by surprise with a third visit, this time alone.
"He just barged in," one of the alleged victim's said. "I was terrified because he had a gun on his side."
The women over 21 admit they had some drinks that night, but not enough to cloud their memories. They say they were physically and sexually assaulted, while being held against their will. They say it all began when Officer Shepard asked to speak to the old girl privately.
"I told him no, I told him it wasn't right," one of the alleged victim's said.
"He forced two girls in a room and assaulted them," said Attorney David Barber.
At some point, Barber says at least five 911 calls were made before state police arrived. The first call was made by "Terri" who says she snuck downstairs to call for help.
"I called my boyfriend for help," she said.
The women say he didn't leave until the parents of two girls arrived to check on them.
Shepard had only been a city officer for three weeks before this allegedly happened. Before that the Floyd County Sheriff says Shepard was a deputy for three years before quitting in the fall to work for a coal company. Sheriff Blackburn says he never had any complaints on Shepard, but these women say they'll submit to a lie detector test to prove they're not lying about his alleged dirty work on February 1st.
Mayor of Martin Thomasine Robinson says she has no comment about the lawsuit because she has not received any legal papers. Robinson says Officer Shepard is still suspended with pay.
Kentucky State Police are still investigating the case. No charges have been filed.

Start 'Em
Mark Sanchez (NYJ) – He plays the Cincinnati Bengals who allowed the Buffalo Bills to score 35 unanswered points Sunday. While they rank well against fantasy QBs when playing at full strength, he will take advantage of this favorable matchup against a depleted secondary.
Shaun Hill (DET) – The Lions will fall behind and be forced to air it out on this Thanksgiving Day show down. The Patriots are 4th last against fantasy QBs this year so Hill should be able to put up points this week.
Eli Manning (NYG) – The Jaguars give up over 22 PPG to fantasy QBs. Eli has thrown at least 2 TD passes in his last six games and will add to that streak at home against Jacksonville.
Sit 'Em
Jay Cutler (CHI) – He plays an opportunistic Eagles defense which does not bode well for him as he likes to give defenses opportunities to make big plays. They lead the league in interceptions with 18 and Cutler has been known to throw to the wrong team.
Carson Palmer (CIN) – Palmer has not performed well in two games against the Rex Ryan led Jets (One, a meaningless week 17 matchup where he was 1- 11 for 0 yards and 1 INT; the other, a playoff game where he went 18-36 for 146 yards, 1 TD, 1 INT). The Bengals show no sign of helping him change that so leave him on the bench.
David Garrard (JAC) – The Giants give up under 15 PPG to fantasy QBs and kept Michael Vick from throwing a TD pass. If you have another option, use him.
Start 'Em
BenJarvus Green-Ellis (NE) – The Lions give up 21 PPG to fantasy RBs and while he splits time with Woodhead, he will get the goal line looks and likely find the end zone.
Brandon Jacobs (NYG) – He regained the starting spot and will want to prove he belongs there so look for him to breakout against a susceptible Jaguar defense allowing 18 PPG to fantasy RBs.
Sit 'Em
Ronnie Brown (MIA) – The Raiders defense has been tough this year. While they did allowed a TD to Mendenhall last week, they help him under 10 fantasy points. The Dolphins terrible passing game will let them stack to box and shut down the run.
Fred Jackson (BUF) – The Steelers give up only 8 PPG and are this year's best defense against fantasy RBs. He will not repeat the performances he had against Detroit and Cincinnati.
Start 'Em
Mike Wallace (PIT) – He and Ben have hooked up for 6 TDs in 6 games since Ben took over at QB. My math tells me he will score at least once against the Bills on Sunday. He is a top 10 fantasy WR but is only starting in 63% of leagues. He needs to be in your lineup if you have him.
Mario Manningham (NYG) – He is Eli's number 1 option with Nicks now out so his looks will increase and they play the Jaguars who are the 5th worst team against fantasy WRs.
Nate Washington (TEN) – He plays the Texans (worst team against fantasy WRs) and has come on since the Titans acquired Randy Moss.
Sit 'Em
Brandon Marshall (MIA) – He is battling a hamstring injury and may not even play this week. Even if he were healthy he should not be starting. The Dolphins passing game has been bad and the Raiders secondary is capable of shutting him down.
Chad Ochocinco (CIN) – Just like Carson Palmer, he does not play well against the Jets. He was shut out in one game last year and had just 2 catches for 28 yards in the playoff game.
Start 'Em
Greg Olsen (CHI) – The Eagles defense has given up 6 TDs to opposing tight ends and is near the bottom of the league against them. Olsen could be Cutler's safety valve this week.
Jacob Tamme (IND) – He is still only starting in about half of fantasy football leagues. San Diego plays WRs tough but give up a lot of catches to TEs. Tamme should be a great play again this week.
Sit 'Em
Kellen Winslow (TB) – He plays the number 1 defense against fantasy TEs in the Ravens. They've allowed double digit points only once and have given up just 1 TD to opposing tight ends all year (Week 3).
Brent Celek (PHI) – If you are still starting him, shame on you. He has 2 catches for 8 yards in the 3 games since Vick came back.
Start 'Em
Cleveland Browns – The Panthers allow the most points to fantasy defenses and they shut down the NFL's best offense in the league a few weeks ago (Patriots). It could get ugly in Cleveland.
Philadelphia Eagles – They lead the NFL in interceptions and will add to it against Jay Cutler and the Bears.
Sit 'Em
Tampa Bay Buccaneers – The Ravens have caused negative points 3 times this season and have not let opposing defenses score more than 6 points since week 2.
Chicago Bears – They have been playing well but this week they play against Michael Vick, not Tyler Thigpen.

My CAT did the same thing and when it had a problem with relief valve kicking in too early (or some type of bypass which was resolved by a software update), the pressure would drop dramatically even though the gpm stayed up. Been awhile since i went through all that but the pressure spikes are seen, in my case, when resistance is met.
I disconnected my pressure gauge because it always leaked but would like to hook it back up and see if I'm remembering correctly. Getting old, you know.
As far as being a stellar performer, what I do know is that my Bobcat are more consistent in keeping different mulcher rotors up with my gear pump than the CAT did with it's piston pump. I'm not sure why that is but I've not been disappointed in performance considering I'm running a skid steer mulcher. It powers through the thickest shreds mixed with 10-12" logs and I don't overheat at all but I still can't use it like a bulldozer. I use finesse to make up for lack of horsepower but it works for me.
Just thought of this. If my pressure was dropping off significantly and/or my gpm was dropping off, then I'd see ta reduction in rotor speed head and more stalling with the skid.
On the specs for the mini- it's system relief at at auxiliary is 3045 and it says 19 gpm.
The system is capable of more pressure, however, because other cylinder circuits like angle blade, and slew have 4k plus psi.
I"m not sure why the machine makes 26 gpm for everything but auxiliary and has different pressures for different circuits?
Gives me a headache.. and I'd like to figure it out before I get a nice toy like you did for mowing.
I have spent the last month trying too decipher mini ex flow myself. My Kubota is rated the same as you Bobcat so i feel pretty comfortable with what I am saying. One thing you always defer back too is performance. Regardless of specs rotor speed and recovering are the best test for actual flow. You can always look at the size of the hyd motor on your mulcher( displacment) and take the rotor rpm and back figure your actual flow.

BBC News reports:
It crops up in our speech dozens of times every day, although it apparently means little. So how did the word "OK" conquer the world, asks Allan Metcalf.
"OK" is one of the most frequently used and recognised words in the world.
It is also one of the oddest expressions ever invented. But this oddity may in large measure account for its popularity.
It's odd-looking. It's a word that looks and sounds like an abbreviation, an acronym.
We generally spell it OK – the spelling okay is relatively recent, and still relatively rare – and we pronounce it not "ock" but by sounding the names of the letters O and K.
Visually, OK pairs the completely round O with the completely straight lines of K.
So both in speech and in writing OK stands out clearly, easily distinguished from other words, and yet it uses simple sounds that are familiar to a multitude of languages.
Almost every language has an O vowel, a K consonant, and an A vowel. So OK is a very distinctive combination of very familiar elements. And that's one reason it's so successful. OK stands apart…

Washington County parks officials have closed the swim pond at Lake Elmo Park Reserve as a precaution after receiving reports of children with Cryptosporidium infections.
"We don't know for sure that's where they got it, but it's a definite possibility," said John Elholm, parks director.
He said the pond was closed Thursday morning, July 26, and the plan is to "super chlorinate," or treat, the water.
The pond, which is a man-made swim spot with a sand bottom, is already chlorinated, Elholm said.
Elholm said the Cryptosporidium reports came from the public health department. The infected kids had been to the pond, but where they picked up the parasite is unknown.

It seems one of the requirements for being an elite globalist is throwing your moral compass to the dogs.
But no one notices. The elite have their exclusive clubs and playgrounds to revel in while the media tells us how righteous and good they are.
Only the elites know how corrupt and vile they really are. But that's Luciferianism. Ultimately there are no morals to the "truly enlightened". Those of us who draw the line between good and evil, and good and bad behavior are considered dumb cattle. Their only creed is ultimately greed for power, and it's fueled by lust.
The Gates Foundation Agenda
Bill Gates is hardly a "people person". He and his Gates Foundation fund everything against humanity you can imagine. From deadly flu shots and possible involuntary airborne flu mists, to dangerous genetically modified foods and animals, including the newly released "modified mosquitoes" in Malaysia, the impact of which is completely unknown.
He's even promoting a mega data base tracking the progress of these life-crippling vaccines to further "techno-sterilize" the image of what they're doing…much like the IBM data cards used in the Nazi death camps. All the while he's also supporting serious tampering with the environment funding geoengineering techniques including persistent contrails or "chemtrails" as well as "cloud ships" to so-called mitigate the Illuminist-inspired false "global warming" threat.
He and Melinda even announced "vaccines are our favorite" as if it's a candy shop of goodies to throw at the groveling people of the earth. "Let them eat vaccines…" Surreal but true.
Gates is the Name, Depopulation Their Game
Anyone connecting the dots can tell this is nothing but pure eugenics at work, a depopulation program of mega proportions, sanitized by the do-gooder image of this enabled former computer geek turned "benevolent benign benefactor" and with a free pass to strongly promote whatever he wants without regard to consequences.
Not well known is that his father, former head of Planned Parenthood, is the third leg co-chair of this mega-foundation, a foundation that is five times larger than the second place Ford Foundation, along with Bill and his wife Melinda. Think he might have an agenda?
When you don't need money, influence and power are the name of the game. And the game is world domination by these same elites. And you're watching the current popularized front runners of the agenda mind-swill we're expected to swallow.
The Social Agenda
This same agenda has vast social as well as scientific applications. While Bill's credibility is based on the assumption that he's somehow "scientifically savvy" by an unwary world sucked into this philanthropic con, he's also into substantially supporting seemingly "social" causes. One of these is gay porn, and gay activism.
This is from a magazine concerned about the moral decay of America.
(LifeSiteNews.com) – The UK Independent revealed today that Microsoft billionaire Bill Gates has acquired a major stake in a homosexual activist publishing company. SEC Filings reveal that Cascade Investment, which invests Gates' money, is among a group of investors that has bought a $26.2 million share in PlanetOut, a publishing company which runs Out magazine as well as the dating website Gay.com which is used primarily for sexual "hook-ups" and all-gay RSVP Cruises.
According to Pink News, the new investors, including Mr Gates, will collectively own a majority of the shares in PlanetOut, likely to total 56.3 per cent of the company.
Despite Gates' extensive funding of population control, he had until this point been considered relatively conservative. With this move, however, he has crossed over into areas that are highly controversial even in the mainstream media. The online material put out by the company features hard core homosexual pornography. Source
Well what do you know, ol' Bill doesn't mind seeing society decay a little further either. Right on the agenda.
No biggie, you say? Where's the tolerance?
Ric Weiland, left, and Bill Gates at the Microsoft table during the 1976 National Computer Conference in New York City. Ex-Microsoft employee and benefactor, Weiland, an ardent gay activist, had his estate donate $65 million to gay charities following his 'suicide' in 2006. Gates "followed suit".
The Pansexual Agenda
While people are obviously entitled to their own preferences in life, there are boundaries. If suicide and murder became the rage in schools, would parents just stand idly by? If there were demonstrations proclaiming the benefits of suicide and murder, would everyone just lay down and feel bad for not allowing others their right to choice and encouraging the same bad choice for other people?
You decide what's right. Not the media. Or professional agenda pushers.
Madonna "passing the torch" VMA ceremony to two Disney-hatched teen music-porn stars
That's exactly how society has been manipulated, and the cowed people of the world just take it all in as one social ill leads to another. The family has been virtually dissolved in today's world. Dysfunctional is cool, men have been feminized and women have become more masculine. Age old norms of kindness and unselfishness have now been reversed and are considered signs of weakness.
We've been corrupted, and corruption is the new standard.
And on purpose.
In a perceptive article, "The Frankfurt School: Conspiracy to Corrupt," in order to weaken society to accept a socialist tyranny, one of the main ideas of the Frankfurt School was to exploit Freud's idea of 'pansexualism' – the search for pleasure, the exploitation of the differences between the sexes, the overthrowing of traditional relationships between men and women. To further their aims they would deny the specific roles of father and mother, and wrest away from families their rights as primary educators of their children. The School believed there were two types of revolution: (a) political and (b) cultural. Cultural revolution demolishes from within. 'Modern forms of subjection are marked by mildness'. They saw it as a long-term project and kept their sights clearly focused on the family, education, media, sex and popular culture. [14] (Source)
You don't risk throwing 26 million dollars into the smut industry without knowing the consequences, financially and socially. Sorry.
Something's seriously amiss here, yet it falls in the "protected category" of homosexuality. "Don't question, or you're bad!" Sound a little fishy to you? It should. You're being corralled into a completely false paradigm of what reality should be.
Columbia, American Illuminati goddess with her Luciferian torch of enlightenment–under the guise of righteousness
The cloak of the elites is adorned with fine art and apparent beauty, similar to our nation's goddess above. However, it is just that, a cloak. Their agendas fall within this seemingly unknown line of little-known reality. While the earth may be a battlefield scattered with broken bodies, the elite have always ridden high in the background, toasting victory in their jeweled garments and fabulous estates, enmeshed in their vile lusts and dark pursuits.
Bohemian grove assembly of international "luminaries"–gotta problem with this?
Gates and the Illuminati Call to Arms
Worse yet, Bill's become a fundraiser for all of these same causes. In what appears to be a "last call" to fellow oligarchs, Gates, and Buffet, are asking the "haves" to throw in and make this Illuminist takeover thrust become reality.
Buffett, Gates persuade 40 billionaires to donate half of wealth
SEATTLE — (8/10) Forty wealthy families and individuals have joined Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates and billionaire investor Warren Buffett in a pledge to give at least half their wealth to charity.
Six weeks after launching a campaign to get other billionaires to donate most of their fortunes, the chairman and CEO of Berkshire Hathaway Inc. released the first list Wednesday of people who have signed what he and Gates call the "giving pledge." Source
Charity? You decide. They invest. Does it include you?
I don't believe a word of it.
Since when have the selfish rich elites been concerned with humanity, except to dominate and exploit us for their own ends.
Don't be fooled. – Zen

text: A year to forget - Unregistered October 02, 2011 12:43 PM Checa winning is a joke.He has been nowhere all his career, has underperformed the 3 previous years in WSB.Embarrassing for the series and I bet many riders whove spanked him over the years are just cringing.Ducati loved him so much theyve sacked him in the past. Conveniently forgotten.Rossi winning in 2004 with Checa 12th on the same bike. Now conveniently forgotten.Sigh 4 agree 13 disagree
