An elementary school student in the east is in a bit of hot water.
School officials in Craven County say a student at Ben Quinn elementary school in New Bern brought a small weapon to school.
School officials confiscated a pen knife and handed it over to authorities. No word on whether the student was sent home or suspended.
Police were called to Ben Quinn about a year ago. The school was put on lockdown because a weapons threat that turned out to be a false alarm.

Let $T$ be the collection of open subsets of a metric space $M$, and $K$ the collection of closed subsets. Show that there is bijection from $T$ onto $K$.
Here, I was thinking that
if $f: T\rightarrow K $ is a function such that it maps any open set $U$ to its complement $U^c$, then we are going somewhere. Problem is, I can't figure out how to quite write it out.
Also, how do I show that it is injective and surjective?
If we take two open sets $U_1$ and $U_2 \in$ T such that $U_1 \neq U_2$, then how do I show that the function $f$ maps these two open sets such that $f(U_1) \neq f(U_2)$?
As far as surjection goes, I am lost how to write it out.
Any help will be appreciated. thanks

Dis-dis-disaster, dis-dis-disaster is coming.

Turning Into Fiction.Every drop of doubt that fallsTurning Into Fiction. by sasunaru16
Leaves an echo of ripples in your reflection.
I want to gouge my fingers into this uncertainty
And read you like a book, but
The chapters of your dark side make me reconsider.
Each page reveals a potential twist and turn,
And danger, so much danger for such a fragile heart.
What if on the last page I realize the story is just fiction?
You are
Uncontrollable, your thirst is
Unquenchable and who am I to
Shut your eyes from your own lust?
My hold is loose when fate and
Lack of faith are gnawing at your covers.
What I fear most is not you waking up to somebody else,
But you waking up as somebody else entirely.
Between You and Me.I never believed you,Between You and Me. by sasunaru16
I only wanted to.
Lying back to back
I was counting your breaths
to make sure your lack of
didn't leave you
Like a ghost
the fading memories of your touch
kept screaming
what I was trying to forget.
Oh, why did I give it up to you?
I know it's my fault.
My expectations were greater than
what you were willing to offer,
and I got scared.
I tried shutting you out,
to gather myself together
behind a shield of apathy,
but only ended up in
Your kiss never tasted as
intoxicatingly bitter
as the last time
I made love to you...
A letter to past loves.Dear Boy number 1,A letter to past loves. by sasunaru16
you turned my world upside down,
changed green into red and smiles to tears.
Who would've thought that
your teasing and your games would
plant a fear into my bones, so strong that
I still cannot shake it?
Dear Boy number 2,
I don't think about you anymore
but I don't think about you any less either.
Your love consumed me and
pushed me to the edge of insanity.
We were fire one second, ice the next,
battle wounds were inflicted just to get a taste of blood.
We were right in all the wrong ways, but to you,
holding another was second nature.
Dear Boy number 3,
you only ever touched me
in the dark alleys of town,
out of sight, but you were never
out of my mind.
Your kisses were new and sloppy,
and your hands left bruises
on my chilled skin.
My friends said you were bad for me, but
I fell in love with your eyes of coal.
Dear Boy number 4,
you are just great. And that's the thing.
You are everything I could wish for, but
I want someone to
I'm just a simple girl that's trying to find herself through poetry and writing. If you'd like to take a peek inside my head, you are more than welcome to check out my deviations ! ^^

Last week's vote by Boeing machinists to approve the company's contract offer was a landmark in more ways than one.
To begin with, it apparently will ensure that construction and assembly of the 777X will remain in Washington state. That was the deal behind $8.7 billion in tax incentives that were approved by the state Legislature late last year in an effort to keep the project in the Puget Sound area. Called to a special session by Gov. Jay Inslee, lawmakers approved extending tax breaks, which were scheduled to expire in 2024, until 2040 — contingent upon the 777X landing in the state. A separate bill earmarked $17 million in state money for aerospace training programs.
The importance of the aerospace industry to the future of Washington's economy was evident in the support that Boeing received from Southwest Washington lawmakers. Rep. Sharon Wylie, D-Vancouver, was the only local legislator to vote against the tax incentives, saying she had a lot of questions about the bill, "and, frankly, there wasn't time to answer my questions, so I voted no." That's a reasonable, thoughtful position, even if others disagreed. Rep. Ed Orcutt, R-Kalama, and Rep. Liz Pike, R-Camas, voted against funding for aerospace training. All other Southwest Washington lawmakers supported both bills.
Perhaps more indicative of the large stakes at play is the fact that at least 21 other states salivated at the opportunity to land the 777X if Boeing airlifted the project out of Washington. Missouri, for example, approved $3.5 billion in state and local tax incentives in an effort to lure the 777X and the jobs it would have brought. Given the fact that Boeing moved its headquarters in 2001 to Chicago, and that recent production plants have been built in other states, there was little reason to believe the company would maintain loyalty to its birthplace when it came to siting the 777X.
So, Friday's vote by the International Association of Machinists to approve Boeing's latest contract offer was, indeed, significant. The company quickly announced that the 777X would be built in Washington, and Gov. Inslee said, "Tonight, Washington state secured its future as the aerospace capital of the world."
But the importance extended well beyond that. By agreeing to a contract that eliminates a defined pension plan, machinists acknowledged an inexorable change in employee benefits. Boeing had sought individual retirement plans, placing the burden for investments and financial security upon employees. It's a move that nearly all private companies have adopted in recent decades, but it's one that some union leaders had proclaimed would be disastrous for Boeing workers. Employees saw through that rhetoric and accepted a very generous offer: The company will deposit an amount equal to 10 percent of a machinist's gross salary into his or her retirement account for the first two years of the contract, 6 percent the third year and 4 percent each subsequent year.
That, in many ways, could prove to be the most significant outcome from the entire saga. The balance between taxpayers and companies has changed, as evidenced by Washington's vast tax breaks for Boeing; the balance between employers and employees has changed, as evidenced by the company's changing pension system and its threat to leave thousands of workers behind. Neither of these changes is particularly new, but they were brought into focus when they applied to a company as large and as steeped in Washington tradition as Boeing. Landmark, indeed.

The essence of data analysis involves setting up data pipelines that consist of several operations that are chained together – starting from data collection, data quality checks, data integration, data analysis and data visualization (including the setting up of interaction paths in that visualization). In our opinion, the challenges stem from the technology diversity at each stage of the data pipeline as well as the lack of process around the analysis.

And I want to SCREAM!!!!! We went to the pedi this morning, and he's wheezing up a storm (even though he'd had an albuterol not 2.5 hours before) and has an ear infection. So we're back on the orapred and an antibiotic and albuterol every 4 hours till we go back on Wednesday.
Its pretty par for the course, since he's getting tooth number 4 and this is the third time this has happened. I'm just frustrated since we don't know whats causing it and how to prevent it. I hate having him on so many meds. I'm sure it could be worse, I'm just feeling sorry for myself and I hate giving him breathing treatments since he fights so hard but I know I have to. Good thing he's so stinkin cute.

Switching to Linux
I am the network administrator, help desk, and backup operator for a small company with fewer than 100 computers. I think my company would benefit from using Linux instead of M$, however, my road blocks are the end users (some of whom don't even know how to use Windows), my boss, and our mission-critical application. As a personal project, I have implemented CentOS at work running Nagios, and it has been working well so far. Currently we are running M$ servers, and this will likely not change in the near future because we have a server application that is only available for Windows and would not be supported by the software vendors if it were installed on anything else. This application also has a Windows-only client that would be another road block. Is there a product (Windows- or Linux-based) that can stream (virtualize) a windows application to a Linux box?
Jeff Gillivan
We can throw some general answers your way – some of which you might already know – but a more detailed response would require more detailed knowledge of your network. The Linux environment offers several tools for interfacing Linux systems with Windows servers. I'm not sure whether any of them will help in your case. Rdesktop (http://www.rdesktop.org/) is an open source Linux client for Windows terminal servers. Technologies such as Virtual Network Computing (VNC) offer GUI-based screen sharing and remote control.
If your server application is based on a web services model, you might be able to create a Linux client app without too much difficulty, but if it is a hard-coded Windows client-server application, virtualization might be your best option. Several virtualization tools provide varying degrees of support for Windows guest systems running on Linux, including Xen 3.0, VMware, and KVM. A simpler and lower-tech alternative is to set up a dual-boot system, which most Linux installers will do automatically if Windows is present on the hard drive.
I am a big fan of Linux Magazine, and I try to get a copy every month. I bought a copy in January (Issue 98, January 2009). Page 98 stated that Issue 99 (February 2009) will feature the IPCop Linux firewall distribution. I bought that issue, but unfortunately, I was very disappointed to find that the IPCop article was missing. I was just wondering if that was an omission, or if there was indeed an article on IPCop that I overlooked. I live in Botswana, where magazines don't come cheap, and it is very frustrating to buy a copy only to find that it does not have what it was supposed to have. I would like to know if you will ever cover anything on IPCop.

It is the only stock market simulation supported by the NY Stock Exchange and the Nasdaq Stock Market. Starting with a virtual cash account of $100,000, students strive to create the best performing portfolio using a live trading simulation. They work together in teams, developing leadership, organization, negotiation, and cooperation skills as they compete for the top spot. There were 64 teams in the Elementary Schools in the Diocese of Brooklyn. A team of eighth grade boys has won first place in the middle schools division and will be going to visit the Stock Exchange in late May. The eighth grade girl's team came in second in that division.

Growing Up With John Krasinski
John Krasinski is among the famous names from my hometown of Newton, MA! He and his two brothers played sports with my older brothers growing up. John was good friends with my brother John and here are some photos from our family photo albums. See if you can pick him out in the group shot (and yes, that is me in the stripes — that was my favorite shirt, naturally) at my brother's birthday party.

In 2009, the British Medical Journal published a study that revealed what seems to be a shocking truth.
With Medicare marking its 47th anniversary last week, Bill Moyers, who was a key aide to President Lyndon Johnson when it was passed, has a radical idea on how to save the health care program: Make it available to everyone.
William K. Black made a name for himself busting bad bankers and the lawmakers who loved them during the savings and loan scandal. His book, "The Best Way to Rob a Bank Is to Own One," says it all. Here he tells Bill Moyers that the treasury secretary is a failed regulator engaged in the cover-up of a massive fraud.
Thousands of people gathered in Minneapolis for the fourth National Conference for Media Reform. They came from all walks of life and all ages to address a central crisis in our society: our broken media system.
Lesser journalists continue to characterize the Rev. Jeremiah Wright's sermons as hate speech, without ever having heard more than snippets of them. As Wright tells the great Bill Moyers, the meaning of his sermons has been deliberately distorted to achieve a political goal, and it worked. Updated.
The veteran newsman probes "The Daily Show" host on the state of journalism, his recent showdown with Sen. John McCain and how he finally figured out the Bush administration.
At a media reform conference in Memphis, the PBS newsman applauded the coalition-building skills of the architects of the Net Neutrality movement. "Who would have imagined that sitting together in the same democratic broadband pew would be the Christian Coalition, Gun Owners of America, Common Cause and MoveOn.org?"
The former minister, press secretary and veteran journalist works his way through Christian allegory and lessons from our nation's history in fashioning this powerful essay on the American experience and the stewardship of democracy.
Bill Moyers offers this gripping and comprehensive analysis of corruption in Washington and finds that "although Jack Abramoff [above] and Tom DeLay have been brought down, the system remains as vulnerable as ever."
"Think about the potential Democratic candidates. Every single one of them needs spine, needs political courage. What Moyers can do is not only show them what it looks like and indeed what it is, but also how people respond to it."

Concert of opera favorites to be performed by HSO
Published: Sunday, February 22, 2009 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, February 19, 2009 at 4:40 p.m.
The Hendersonville Symphony Orchestra will present a concert of opera favorites, A Grand Night for Singing, at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, March 7, at Hendersonville First Baptist Church. The concert will feature soloists from the Asheville Lyric Opera and will include arias from amongst the most loved and recognizable of all moments in opera.
Many of the selections of the performance come from the Bel Canto (or beautiful singing) era of opera from the 18th and early 19th centuries: These represent some of the best-loved works of Rossini, Mozart, Donizetti, Verdi and Puccini, including solos and ensembles from the Barber of Seville, La Traviata, Lucia di Lammermoor, LElisir dAmore and other favorites.
Four outstanding vocalists from the Asheville Lyric Opera will join the HSO.
David Starkey, baritone, director of the Asheville Lyric Opera, has a diverse career spanning all aspects of opera, operetta and musical theater performance and production. His work as a singer, actor, producer, director and educator has taken him across both the United States and Europe. Starkey received a distinguished degree of bachelor of music in vocal performance from Youngstown State University and a master of music degree in opera performance from the Jacobs School of Music at Indiana University.
Starkey made his New York City debut with the famed Amato Opera in the Italian opera Tosca, followed with debuts at New York City Opera in Verdis Macbeth and at the Bregenz Festspiele in Austria.
Andrea Blough, soprano, delights audiences with her wonderful lyric and clear voice. Previous operatic roles with Asheville Lyric Opera include Adina in Lelisir dAmore, Berta in Il Barbiere di Siviglia, Annina in La Traviata and Zozo in The Merry Widow. She has sung with the Philadelphia Orchestra, New York Philharmonic and Dresdner Philharmonic in venues such as Carnegie Hall and Lincoln Center. In the Asheville area, Blough owns and directs Bella Musica Studios.
Kevin Doherty, baritone, is very excited to be singing his second consecutive season with the Asheville Lyric Opera. This season with ALO he has been Marullo in Rigoletto, Dulcamara in LElisir dAmore, Paris in Roméo et Juliette. He also performed the title role in Gianni Schicchi as part of ALOs Opera Outreach with AC Reynolds High School. Doherty spent the summer of 2008 with the Brevard Music Center, singing the roles of Friedrich Bhaer in Mark Adamos Little Women and Pooh-Bah in The Mikado.
Kristen Yarborough, soprano, has a robust voice and brilliant and seemingly-effortless high notes. She graduated with a master of music in Opera Performance from the A.J. Fletcher Opera Institute at the North Carolina School of the Arts (NCSA). Recent roles included Donna Anna in Asheville Lyric Operas production of Don Giovanni and Flora in La Traviata and Giannetta in LElisir dAmore. She has also sung with Western Piedmont Symphony, North Carolina Symphony and Piedmont Opera. Yarborough made her stage-directing debut in 2008 with Puccinis Gianni Schicchi as part of the education opera program of the Asheville Lyric Opera.
The tickets are $25 for adults and $5 for students, available from the following outlets in Hendersonville: The Visitors Center, the Opportunity House, Mountain Lore Book Store, Dianes Hallmark, Hand in Hand Gallery and the Laurel Park Wine Market, as well as through the symphony office at 697-5884.

During the first church service Kathy and I attended in the year 2000 (sorry, readers; I hope by the end of January to quit noting all these "firsts," but I can't help it: first sunrise in the year 2000; first e-mail message I received with "2000" on it; first time I brushed my teeth in 2000. I promise I'll get over it.), one of our favorite praise songs popped up on the projection screen. It was David Ruis' "We Will Dance," which is a moving piece of music about what heaven will be like. This is a song that, if you go to church in a bad mood, is likely to push your spirits higher than that screen and have you moving your lips with a smile.
It's one of those newfangled choruses that lots of older folks aren't comfortable with, but this is a modern hymn that even our retiring, 60-something minister chose last year to end his last service.
The music starts slow. "Sing a song of celebration." It picks up momentum. "Lift up your hands and clap for joy." More than half the people in our usually reserved church actually do it. It builds to a climax. "Oh, we will dance on the streets that are golden." It slows to a quiet ending.
I have no doubt God has used this song to touch hearts. When we heard the keyboard chimes that introduce it in that Jan. 2 service, Kathy's eyes lit up. As the music hit a crescendo, she reminded me how much she likes the song. A little later, as we sang through the chorus for the fourth time, a friend nearby added in a whisper, "But we don't have to do it for 10 minutes."
My preoccupation with the transition to 2000 wouldn't allow me to ignore the symbolism of that good-natured comment on a wonderful song. Even the best holiday pecan pie loses its appeal if you eat four or five pieces back-to-back. Eventually, you have to eat some meat and bread. The best spiritual high can't last forever.
The music has to stop, and we have to switch from celebrating to accomplishing. The Dec. 31-Jan. 1 event was much more momentous than your average New Year's, but now, 2000 actually is here. The 1900s are history. We'll all sound like old geezers now, telling our youngsters, "Back in the summer of '96, I bought my first computer."
Last December, 2000 still seemed a magical date. Then, we couldn't imagine actually putting "2000" on our checks. Now, we've almost quit the habit of writing "-99" and having to cross it out. In 1968, "2001: A Space Odyssey" was a futuristic fantasy film. Now, it's almost 2001.
The year 2000 was the most anticipated in the past 1,000 years. Some were excited about it, but some feared it. From predicted computer glitches to warnings of Armageddon, 2000 was the unknown. No one could be sure what would happen.
The dire prophecies didn't come to pass. Most of us still are here, facing the same challenges we faced before. People are making New Year's resolutions that won't last much longer than fireworks from the Eiffel Tower.
But 2000, while having no special spiritual meaning attached to it, still is a chance for change. Just seeing that "2" on the calendar is a visual reminder that we shouldn't settle for being the same. It can be used to motivate us to do good.
Those who attend a three-day Walk to Emmaus retreat find out that while the Walk may be a "mountaintop" experience, they have to return to the real world, their Fourth Day. How they react to that Fourth Day is more important than anything that happened during the three-day weekend.
Many of us who were born in the 1900s will cherish those years, but they are gone. Life is in the 2000s. We must look forward, which is not so hard for those who believe in heaven. We might look back wistfully at the good parts of the old century, but we look at the future with hope and wonder.
It's like the Christian view of death. As much as we like our earthly lives, around the corner is "a much better place," as the song says. Like 2000, dying doesn't have to be feared, but seen as a door to a new world.
This new era can symbolize the celestial rewards we anticipate while at the same time serving as the stage on which we show our gratitude for those rewards. C.S. Lewis wrote that people who are most motivated by heaven are not, as some think, useless on Earth, but just the opposite: the most effective in ministering to others.
As the song implies, the "great son of man" offers not just a way to survive, but a chance to flourish. "Every tongue and tribe and nation will join in the song of the Lamb."
In 2000, each of us can move closer. Slowly, closer. Slowly.
"We will dance on the streets that are golden."
