Scellent Addres;On How To. live By Nickey Last week classes were shortened so that cadets could hear an inspirational lecture by Dr. Warmingham, with The American Youth Foundation, on the subject, "The Philosophy of Living". Dr. Warmingham said that living is more important than anything else. The activities of our lives are not built up in a short time but are the result of experiences which start in babyhood. He stated that we receive no rewards or money merely from living. We have to learn to gain satisfaction from life. • > The educated man is not fooled by the world, he said. He learns to judge true values. However, the uneducated man often thinks that the whole universe is against him and is unbeatable. Many people fear death because they do not know whether to expect heaven or hell. There should be nothing to fear, the speaker declared, if we live a full life here according to our right philosophy. His "philosophy of living" meant the living up to his highest possibilities as an individual and making a success, not a failure, of life here and now. The lecture was stimulating and thought-provoking for the corps. It was one of the very best of the entire year.stess At Formal mer For Cadets ly one formal dinner for new s was held by Col. Jackson last • For the first time, Mrs. R. L. son was able to join the Colonel )stess, as she had been away on ut. ; usual, a delicious menu, perfect-erved, awaited the cadet guests, ollows: ulted nuts; shrimp cocktail, Ritz French onion soup, Saratoga :es; celery and olives; veal pocket v>'-m dressing and fresh mushrooms; ■s- '.¡¡Fed potato boats with cheese sauce; -uered green brussel sprouts; stuffed tomato salad, cheese Ritz; hot but-t'- ecl rolls; angel food cake a la mode wiih fresh strawberries; demi-tasse. After dinner the party adjourned to the school parlors, where games ""d conversation were enjoyed until ^00 P. M. Cadets present were Morey, Peck-ham, Joslyn, Clark, Fraser, W., Cam-won, Smith;'G., Pool, Schuster, and Jacobs. ca Wi. Ja as a lv C: . F; By Hargraves Seniors comprised the entire Ju-nior-Senior speech program during the last week, as the speeches remained at the good quality standard set earlier in the year. Grimm started the week off right on Monday with a semi-humorous talk on the land of perpetual peace, Switzerland. Although regarded by most people as a land of milk, cheese, and pretty milk maids, it is in reality a nation of inventive geniuses. The Swiss invented the wristwatch, microscope, and other inventions. Morahn spoke next on his life at Western up until this year. The funniest ncident in his five-year stay was when he blew a "first call" at 2:00 A. M. one morning. Morahn's speech was indeed original and well delivered. Miller, C. and Conley spoke on Wednesday and gave two informative speeches. Miller spoke on the mink, that precious animal from which the valuable fur coats are made. He told the habits of the animal and the various ways to trap it. Conley gave a good talk on a mountain in Tibet which is reported to be over 35 thousand feet high. Pilots flying over "The Hump" during the war reported seeing it hover above them, and now explorers are busy searching for this reported giant. Ratcliff gave an interesting and colorful speech on the Texas Rangers on Friday. The Rangers were originally the only police in Texas but are now part of the State Police. One Ranger used to stop riots, and no man who ever killed a Ranger lived to tell of his dirty deed. The old-timers in Texas now consider the modern jeep-riding Ranger as being too "dang new-fangled"- Major Persing then told of his own experience in Texas and of his friend, General Bill Sterling of the Rangers.laaeBy General Orders Col. Martz Reads List Of New Cadet Officers And Non corns Last Friday in the mess hall, Lt. Col. W. V. Martz, PMS and T, read General Orders, No. 2, appointing a, group of new cadet officers and non-coms from captains down to the rank of master sergeant. Col. Martz stated that winning an office does not depend upon seniority alone. A cadet must show that he deserves that rank by exhibiting qualities of loyalty, leadership, scholastic achievement, and other good character traits, he said. Appointments The appointments were, as follows: Nov. 12, 1948 General Orders, No. 2 1. The following appointments of commissioned and non-commissioned officers in the corps of cadets are hereby announced: TO BE CADET CAPTAINS: H. J. Chalfant, Commander, Co. "D"; W. E.

By Order of R. L. Jackson, Colonel I. N. G., Superintendent (Continued on Page Four) Continuing to broadcast over Station WOKZ on Saturday afternoons, "Cadet Capers" again aired a well-balanced and well-performed radio program last week. The show, now approaching its third week of broadcasting, is keeping its standards high, for it set a precedent in this area. Last Saturday's show featured an interview with Guillermo Liera, cadet from Mexico City. Sheldon Green asked most of the questions, which dealt with such topics as early life, politics, clothing, entertainment, and sports in Mexico. The answers were clear and concise and provided a novel twist to the ordinary kind of program. Jay Heyman asked Guillermo a few questions on sports in his native country and learned some new facts. Bill Foster again acted as announcer and did his usual good job. Charles Boiles and Horatio Garza provided musical interludes with two South American styled piano pieces, include ing an original rhumba composition by Boiles. Jay Heyman was not cut off this week and managed to give a short newscast on football, orders, and the coming dance. Dick Hutter was at his usual post in the control room, seeing that all were ready to speak at the right time. Capt. Richard Martin was again producer and supervised the entire operation. The program came off" smoothly from the technical side, too. Next week's program will have a football theme, because of the coming Alton-Western game. Several varsity football players will air their views on football in general and on Western's chances in the Turkey Day game. Carl Bobbish will also be on hand to handle the musical end of the program. Time marches on . . . as "Cadet Capers" continues on Station WOKZ, 1570 on your dial, Saturday at 12:45 P. M. "FIESTA" IS MOVIE SHOWN LAST WEEK The cadet corps was treated to a musical film in technicolor, "Fiesta", as the weekly movie Saturday night. The picture starred' Esther Williams and Ricardo Montalban as twins who grew up together in Mexico as the children of a former star matador in the bullring. But the boy loved music, and the girl liked the art of bullfighting and from there the trouble began. Ricardo ran away and tried to contact a great musician, while the country called him a coward for leaving the ring during a bull fight. Esther took his place to make him come back and was hurt trying to do this. Richardo finally returned after having his composition accepted by the great maestro and was forgiven by his father for forsaking the bull ring. He and Esther found happiness in marriage. A newsreel and hilarious cartoon were also on the program. —By Lucas, W. SOPHOMORES HOLD INFORMAL DANCE Last Saturday night the Sophomores held their first informal of the year in the canteen. The comfortable settings blended nicely with the dance, planned by Mrs. Grefcn and the Sophomore Dance Committee. Refreshments were served, and Carlson and Hasselman kept the phonograph going to provide recorded music for the dancing. All enjoyed themselves immensely and are looking forward to the next class social gathering. Those who attended were Hage-mann, Schaefer, D., Webb, D., Tolle, Sinclair, Rivadenyra, Bickerton, Un-nerstall, Holmquist, Carter, Nicolay, Melnick, Mervis, Bilgere, Lucas, W., Rebar, and Baker, J. —By Lucas, W. Capt. Bowman Improves Trap Range; Goose Shoot Will Be Held Thanksgiving Morning By Whitfield King Before this year Western's Gun Club has consisted mainly of the rifle team members, but this year the activity has been extended to trap-shoot-ing. Backed by Col. Moore and Capt. Bowman, this sport has greatly increased in popularity. At a recent business meeting the club elected the following officers: Westerland, president; Michel, secretary; Richards, treasurer. Plans were made for a gun storage room in the basement of "C". All guns arid shells will be kept there and can only be taken out when one of the two sponsors is with the cadets. Plans were also made to re-sod the area where the shooting takes place, and benches will be built close to the range for spectators. Visitors Watch Shooting The. trap-shooting range has been built east of "the grove". If; has five shooting positions and a gun rack. It was constructed by cadets under the supervision of Capt. Bowman. Shooting has been a major attraction, and on recent Sunday afternoons many visitors have gathered at the range to watch the cadet marksmen. The gun club will sponsor a trap-shooting match Thanksgiving morning, with the prize a big fat goose. It is open to all cadets, and those wishing to enter must see Capt. Bowman. They must furnish their own guns and ammunition. Targets For Riflemen Rifle enthusiasts also have plenty of opportunity to shoot now, either on the indoor range in the gym or at the trap range. A' new type of breakable targets has been secured for them, which gave the rifleman the same advantage as the clay bird does for the trap-shooter. Anyone wishing to join the gun club should see Capt. Bowman. Those already engaged in shooting are Altheimer, Baker, P., Cameron, Cox, Fischer, D., Fisher, E., Fletcher, G., Foutch, Holmquist, Ingold, Jacobs, Keller, L., King, Koch, Linde, Locke, Lund, Mallory, Meiners, Melnick, Mil-bauer, Michel, Richards, Robinson, Schlueter, Schroeter, Scott, Schusler, Smith, A., Telford, Vedder, Wessel-hoft, D., Westerland, White, Wilson, S., Woodruff, Burroughs, Unnerstall, and Browne, R. COMING MOVIE The movie next Saturday will be the comedy, "Cynthia", about the love life of an adolescent girl. Elizabeth Taylor and George Murphy are starred, and a Pete Smith Specialty will complete the bil. TAKE LONG RIDE TO CLIFTON TERRACE Last Sunday a group of cadets took a trip to Clifton Terrace on horseback. The day was clear and crisp, and the ride went off smoothly. The cadets caught no rattlesnakes as they had before on this ride. The group ate a hearty meal at Clifton and played football before returning. Those who went were: Williams, Pelzer, Jeffrey, Cox, Hasselman, Calhan, Vevier, Frazer, E., Lloyd B., Lloyd, F., Koest-er, Seelye, Keller, H., Murphy, W., Carter, Schlueter, and Reeder, J. —By PelzerBulletin New Chapel Will Be Used For First Time On Thanksgiving Day The wide and comfortable seats for the new chapel in the east end of the gym have arrived. The slanting floor, the motion picture projection room for two machines, and the stage are about completed. With the installation of the 380 seats next week, Col. Jackson hopes to use the new chapel for the first time for the Thanksgiving Service next Thursday morning at 10:15. This service will include several cadets on the program. During the Thanksgiving Dance that evening, a continuous program of movie "shorts" will be shown in the ;

In their blood? Okay, it's definitely
Assassin's Creed
-y now. Did they really have something like the Animus? "It would take about three minutes for him to obtain this knowledge." Three minutes; okay, so no Animus. And was she a subject of it? "In return, he will supply you with his own knowledge." Fair deal, since aside from the look the girl seemed alive and well. Anyways, who was this guy who could get ancestral information from someone's blood? That's a question that sparked Cira's curiosity, but it would have to be answered later.
"My ability possesses strength." Maybe she could stop the train with her bare hands. Maybe not if it was at full speed, but it wasn't there, yet. "Or, if we would not like to stop the train, there are other methods. You just have to trust me."
Then she introduced herself. Augh, just making more questions. What's their "purpose?" GAH. And worse, it'll have to WAIT before they're answered. Cira got the answers to his initial questions, and with the train getting ever farther from the Vatican he wasn't gonna push it without risking the girl changing face.
Cira took Otto's hand and stood up, Alex pulling himself onto his feet. "So," Cira continued, "which way should we go? Just get the conductor to stop the train, or a more exciting way?" Of course, his father would instantly try and opt for the latter.

Don't worry though, we have a lot more Women's Shorts in stock than that.View Similar Products
De Marchi CL Women's Shorts $0.00
We all have our preferences, and in terms of cycling apparel, none is more divisive than that of the argument for bib shorts or shorts? We understand both sides of argument well enough to not pick a side. However, we have noticed two things that both parties are able to agree on. One is that shorts typically receive the short end of the stick in the quality department, and two, everyone loves Italian craftsmanship. Not surprisingly, De Marchi's new CL Women's Shorts serve the latter, but they also incorporate an identical fabric selection, seam placement, and chamois to what's found on the CL bib shorts.
De Marchi used a lightweight iteration of the venerable Lycra fabric for the bulk of the CL shorts' construction. Why? Because this material encompasses all of the characteristics necessary for cycling. It possesses a high-level of breathability and moisture management, meaning that the fibers are both permeable and moisture wicking. So, your excess body heat is allowed to escape, keeping you consistently cool. Meanwhile, the fabric's ability to pull moisture away from the skin and quickly evaporate it leaves you dry and free from irritation.
Additionally, Lycra possesses a natural four-way stretch, which means that shorts will conform to your position and movements, not against them. This is further supported by De Marchi's incorporation of a six-panel contoured cut. Essentially, this means that CL's seam placement was designed to accommodate the body positions and movements of cycling. As a result, you'll find that the CL is free from any bunching, pinching, or chafing. However, while this high-level of structural conformity is appealing, we find it even more impressive that it doesn't inhibit Lycra's natural compressive tendencies. By this, we mean that the fabric is supportive to the muscle groups of the legs. And when couple with the six-panel cut, the shorts help to minimize the fatigue-inducing effects of muscle oscillation as a result of road vibration.
And to secure this precise, anatomic fit, De Marchi installed pre-shaped, seamless leg grippers to prevent the shorts from shifting. As a result, comfort is increased by eliminating the poignancy that's attributed to either silicone or elastic grippers. Instead, this design provides a smooth, secure interface that's free from irritation.
As for the chamois, De Marchi went with its venerable Elastic Interface Technology W1.3 insert. This chamois was selected for its ample level of cushioning. However, don't think that there's irritable padding where your body doesn't need it. Instead, this women's-specific insert features high-density open cell padding in selective areas, like the sit bones. Accordingly, the areas like the ischial and perineal zones, that are prone to high levels of pressure, are relieved. And with the ample elasticity of the chamois and its surface fabric, chafing is minimized.
It's also worth noting that the CL shorts are made in Italy from Italian-sourced materials. Additionally, this piece is Oekotex-certified -- a certifiable European textile standard.
The De Marchi CL Women's Shorts are available in the color Black and in five sizes from X-Small to X-Large.

Technote (FAQ)
Is there a workaround for the AWSJPL506E error without extending the plan?
If the "scheduled" time for a jobstream to be submitted is later that the "Production plan end time:" in the database then the jobstream cannot be submitted.
Yes, the "scheduled time" can be specified to a time that is earlier than the "Production plan end time" value.
The reason for the AWSJPL506E message when submitting jobs or jobstreams is because the "Scheduled Time" is beyond the "Production plan end time". To view your production plan end time you can run 'planman showinfo'. The output of this command will be similar to this:
Plan creation start time: 08/01/2012 06:00 TZ CDT
Production plan start time of last extension: 08/18/2012 06:00 TZ CDT
Production plan end time: 08/22/2012 05:59 TZ CDT
The expected time for "Production plan end time:' is one minute before the start of day.
In order to keep the plan the same size and perform submits that would otherwise have a scheduled time beyond the "Production plan end time" you must specify a scheduled time that is earlier than the "Production plan end time" while performing your submits.
From the command line a schedule submit using the 'at' flag will look like this:
conman "submit sched=<SCHED>; at 0400 08/20/2012; alias=<SCHED1>"
From JSC or TDWC, specify a date/time in the "Scheduled Time" field of the "Submit Jobstream into Plan" or "Submit Job into Plan" submit panel that is earlier than the "Production plan end time."

Lippi Resigns as Klinsmann Quits in Tears; Tournament's over but Unbelievable but True.FIFA Move England Flops the Fallout Rumbles on Up to FIFTH in the World after Germany 2006!
Byline: By DARREN LEWIS
WORLD CUP-winning Italy boss Marcello Lippi quit along with Jurgen Klinsmann yesterday -the biggest names to go in the post-Germany merry-go-round.
The latest high-profile departures mean that nearly HALF the bosses who went into the competition have ended up either out of a job or moving to new positions.
Lippi, 58, quit while he was ahead after silencing his critics by delivering football's greatest prize.
He said: "After the conclusion of an extraordinary professional and human experience I believe my role as coach of the national team is over."
Klinsmann, who lives in California with his American wife, stepped down after two turbulent years.
"I feel burned out," he said, fighting back tears. "I have a great wish to be back with my family and my children and to get back into normal life."
Klinsmann dismissed reports that he had been approached to take over the USA national team in the wake of Bruce Arena's departure.
"There is absolutely no interest on my side and no contact," he said.
Like Lippi, the ex-Spurs striker went out on a high after making fools of his disillusioned detractors -who demanded his sacking earlier this year - with a stunning World Cup.
Franz Beckenbauer, the former German captain and coach and now president of the World Cup organising committee, appealed last week: "The fans like him, the players like him and I hope he stays on."
But after leading Germany to a creditable third place, Klinsmann makes way for his assistant Joachim Loew to take over. A German FA spokesman said: "We regret Jurgen's decision, but have to accept it."
Sven Goran Eriksson, who had already had his contract terminated by the FA, left his post after England crashed out on penalties to Portugal in the quarter-finals. Steve McClaren takes over officially on August 1. …

Next week, Drupal Developer Days 2015 will be held in Montpellier, France. For those of you who haven't heard of the event before, Drupal Developer Days is the second most important Drupal event in Europe, held every spring in a different city from the old continent.
Are you familiar with entity_metadata_wrappers? If you're not, oh boy, you should be! They are the right and easy way for you to manipulate anything with a field when coding your module. "Metadata wrapper" may sound a little intimidating, but let me show you in this blog post how simple and useful they are.
Fast and simple tip to increase your Git Fu level.
TL;DR, run the following code in your terminal and be happy:

While vendor prefixes are a subject of constant discussion, the developers don't want to wait and are using it more and more. But due to their draft nature, prefixes changes so much that is very hard to keep track of them all.
"Border radius needs a prefix for Webkit... Maybe... And for Firefox? I know that don't need for Opera... I mean, well, is better to test it... I wonder if works with IE? AHHHHHH!!!!"
You're not alone.
To start the new year off on right foot, we will be hosting tomorrow the first Brazilian event of 2012 – DrupalDay Campinas.
Even though the event has been announced just three weeks ago, more than 160 people signed up.
Next week, from October 19th to 21st, we will be hosting the DrupalCamp Foz, in Foz do Iguaçu, near the world-famous Iguaçu falls.
Chuva is proud to be sponsoring this event and having people both in the organizing team and presenting talks at the Camp.
The event will take place alongside LatinoWare, one of the biggest open source events in Latin America, with more than 3.500 attendees confirmed so far. At DrupalCamp Foz, both Dries Buytaert and Ramus Lerdorf have confirmed their presence.
The event venue will be none other than the Itaipu Dam, the largest operating hydroelectric power station in the world(1) and considered one of the seven modern wonders of the world.

One great thing about this new version is that you no longer need to download PHPMailer separately. Almost all the work on this Drupal 7 version is due to yettin (Joakim Schramm), and it's been working like a charm.
See the release notes or download the new version.
This morning I've released an alpha version from Textimage for Drupal 7, I've also merged the github fork from the module back to our drupal.org repo.
Thanks for all textimage's contributors for working in this release, testers are welcome :)
And last but not least, I've also released a new 6.x version from Textimage, 6.x-2.2 which is mainly a bug fix release from our previous version.
Here is the changelog for both versions:TextImage 7.x-2.0-alpha1
As you know, this week we Drupalistas gather together in Croydon, London. It's a nice opportunity learn things, get along with our friends and meet new people.
To streghten our ties with the rest of the community we're organizing two BoF sessions:

I am new to this system setup. Please guide me in detail.
We have a small office network with windows server 2000 domain
and all computers connected in lan through switch and hub.
we have an internet connection which is connected directly to the router
and this IP address 192.168.45.1 is used in gateway of all computers and internet service providers DNS.Hence everyone is able to browse the internet. Because of this we are unable to monitor the users internet usage and websites accessed by them.
Please suggest how to proceed without using the option internet sharing from another computer.
Can I set up another independent server say windows server 2008 with two NIC such that one points to internal Lan and another to internet.If we join the two domains using trust then we can make use of active directory users from the domain of windows 2000.
In this can we install ccproxy for monitoring the users internet usage.
Please suggest.
Thanks in advance

Oklahoma school superintendents earn more than $52 million this year
The Midwest City-Del City School District has threatened to lay off 200 teachers and plans to close two elementary schools to save money, but its superintendent earns more and has more high-paid assistants than colleagues in much bigger school systems.
Mid-Del Superintendent Bill Scoggan's total compensation of $185,623 is part of $52 million being spent this year on superintendent salaries for the more than 500 school districts and charter schools throughout the state.
Mid-Del has five assistant superintendents, the most of any district in the state, each earning more than $100,000, and is considering hiring a deputy superintendent to help in the transition as Scoggan plans to retire June 30.
By comparison, Oklahoma City Superintendent Karl Springer, who manages the state's largest district, with 42,000 students, took a $27,000 pay cut in 2010, bringing his total compensation to $174,000. Three people on his staff have the job title of assistant superintendent.
Both Tulsa and Oklahoma City school boards made significant cuts in the number of assistant superintendents last school year. In Oklahoma City, four top-level administrators were laid off, or empty positions were eliminated, for a savings of roughly $400,000.
Tulsa Public Schools Superintendent Keith Ballard said Tulsa went from having eight area and deputy superintendents to having one chief of staff and two associate superintendents. In total, he said, the district saved $5 million in the central office, entirely from salaries.
There are currently eight positions in the central office that make more than $100,000, he said.
"We're not a business. We're not corporate. We don't pretend to be," Ballard said. "I would say, too, our overall percentage of administrative costs is pretty low."
Ballard said he has the exact same salary he had last year, $256,000, which makes him the second highest paid administrator in the state at the second largest district in the state.
In Mid-Del, school board member LeRoy Porter said that when the board hired Scoggan in 2005 and later authorized a pay raise, it compared his salary and other benefits with other 6A school districts in the state and tried to hit a midrange target.
"We try to keep our salaries competitive, because if we don't, we get someone in here for a year and a half and then we lose them," Porter said. "We've lost administrators to Edmond, Mustang, Norman.
"You can't hire someone to manage 26 campuses, 1,500 teachers and 14,000-plus students and say, 'I'm only going to pay you $50,000 a year.' You can't do that. You have to stay competitive. You have to take into consideration their experience and their knowledge."
Porter said one of the assistant superintendents is over the district's technology center. He said Mid-Del is the only district in the state to have its own center. Others are in charge of instruction, finance, personnel and facilities.
Still, he said, administrative costs are the first area the board is going to look at when considering the budget for next year.
"We're going to consolidate, cut, redistribute," he said. "We will start with administration first and then look at other programs."
Overall, Oklahomans will pay assistant superintendents $9.3 million for the 2010-2011 school year.
Favor sharing
Lawmakers are proposing this year a bill that would reward neighboring districts for sharing a superintendent to cut costs.
"We're a great target," said Steven Crawford, a former superintendent, who now heads the Cooperative Council for Oklahoma School Administration. "Most people have no idea what a superintendent does.
"It's a 24/7 job, 365 days a year. It burns a lot of people out, and it's going to always be the highest paid job in the system, and it should be."
The top-paid superintendent is Kirby Lehman from Jenks Public Schools with a total compensation package of $266,917. The average salary for superintendents in Oklahoma is $95,937.
Jenks School Board President Jon Phillips said he's comfortable with Lehman's compensation.
"The thing that I think separates Dr. Lehman first and foremost is his tenure. This is his 22nd year at Jenks, which is by far the longest of any large district," Phillips said. "Essentially, he's running a $60 million organization, and I know he works tirelessly."
In the metro area, Norman's Superintendent Joe Siano makes the most with a total compensation of $187,989. Scoggan is the second highest-paid in the metro area.
Most didn't get raises
An analysis of superintendent salary data provided by the Education Department shows that some superintendents received raises last year despite statewide budget cuts. Some took pay cuts, and the majority remained about the same.
Superintendents in more than 100 school districts made at least $1,000 more than they did last year in the same position, including the superintendents in Crutcho and El Reno school districts, who received more than $10,000 raises.
Those figures may include increased amounts for health care and other benefits meted out by the state, not raises.
Ranet Tippens, El Reno superintendent, received almost a $17,000 raise this school year. It's her first raise in her four years, she said, and brings her to a total compensation of $130,072.
Tippens insisted some of her raise is in retirement and health insurance benefits, but she also said her salary has been among the lowest of similar 5A schools.
She also said she does three jobs now after the district cut central office staff by more than 50 percent. Tippens is now her own assistant superintendent of finance and the director of curriculum.
The district also cut 8 percent in certified staff, 10 percent in support staff and 8 percent in principal administration, she said.
"El Reno is down to bare bones and below the proposed legislative cap of 5 percent for administrative costs," she said. "When you look at smaller districts, you have to look at all of the roles those people are filling."
Superintendent Teresa McAfee of Crutcho Public Schools in eastern Oklahoma City received a $13,627 increase in total salary this year bringing her total compensation to $97,372.
McAfee said the board gave her a raise because the prekindergarten through eighth grade school had received almost a million for this school year in a school improvement grant given to underperforming schools. The school increased the length of the school day and she has been working long hours.
Oklahoma City's Springer explained why he took a pay cut last year.
"There were no salary increases, the central office took furloughs, we had layoffs," Springer said of the last fiscal year, when 131 first-year teachers were let go. "The least the superintendent could do was look at his salary and adjust it."
The award for lowest-paid superintendent goes to Terry Selman with Byars Public Schools in McClain County who is paid $33,000 total compensation, up from $20,000 several years ago.
Selman came out of retirement 12 years ago to try to save the 52-student, pre-K through eighth grade school district.
"The school was just about to go under and by saving what they save on my salary compared to other school districts ... we were able to accumulate $220,000 in reserves," Selman said.
When he retired in 1998 from Wayne Public Schools, Selman said there was a strong criticism of how many superintendents there were across the state and their excessive salaries. He then made about $55,000.
"I was just going to throw in the towel, but the people here, they act like I was sent from heaven," Selman said. "It's kind of nice to feel appreciated."

Wild Fibonacci: Nature's Secret Code Revealed
by Joy N. Hulme
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Good, but "Growing Patterns" by Sarah C. Campbell fills in more of the details.
Z liked the information but thought the poetry was not great. Great for youngers, though.
I read this book when it first came out and read it again when I was goign through my shelves. A beautifully illustrated introduction to the Fibonacci concept for young readers.
References to this work on external resources.
Wikipedia in English
No descriptions found.
1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34... Look carefully. Do you see the pattern? Each number above is the sum of the two numbers before it. Though most of us are unfamiliar with it, this numerical series, called the Fibonacci sequence, is part of a code that can be found everywhere in nature. Count the petals on a flower or the peas in a peapod. The numbers are all part of the Fibonacci sequence. In Wild Fibonacci, readers will discover this mysterious code in a special shape called an equiangular spiral. Why so special? It mysteriously appears in the natural world: a sundial shell curves to fit the spiral. So does a parrot's beak...a hawk's talon...a ram's horn...even our own human teeth! Joy Hulme provides a clear and accessible introduction to the Fibonacci sequence and its presence in the animal world.… (more)

Recent editorials from North Carolina newspapers:
Nov. 12
Winston-Salem Journal on the state education-governance system:
Sometimes it's better to be lucky than wise.
North Carolina's convoluted education-governance system just got a significant reform, probably more out of partisan chicanery than policy wisdom.
Gov.-elect Pat McCrory and his Republican allies will control the State Board of Education early in his first term, something that would not have happened for at least four years had it not been for a blatantly partisan move by the 2011 General Assembly.
Of the board's 13 members, 11 serve eight-year terms after being appointed by the governor and confirmed by the Legislature. In 2011, the GOP-led Legislature refused to confirm Gov. Bev Perdue's second group of appointees, thus extending the terms of three members originally appointed by former Gov. Mike Easley. McCrory can replace those three members as soon as he is inaugurated.
Additionally, McCrory can appoint three more members on March 31, giving him six appointees less than three months into office. He will get two more appointments on March 31, 2015. Other changes should give the GOP control of the board.
If Perdue had not been denied members, McCrory would have had to wait until March 31, 2017, in his second term, if he were to win it, before gaining board control.
That would have been ridiculous. We elect a governor, in large part, to be our leader on education and yet McCrory would have gone a full term without having his people control the very board that runs our schools. Given the partisan divide that exists between the departing Democrats and the new administration, that would have been a recipe for educational chaos.
The Legislature may have simply lucked into this major improvement in school governance, but it's a change for the best. Now the Legislature should amend the State Board appointments schedule to assure that all new governors enjoy the same authority in the future, ending the political games that surrounded this process.
Nov. 9
The Reflector of Greenville on state GOP:
Amid the national gains posted by the Democratic Party, North Carolina stood out for its Republican Party, which swept to control of both the legislative and executive branches for the first time since the 19th century. That group, led by Governor-elect Pat McCrory, widened its margins in both chambers of the General Assembly to take a decisive hold on the reins of government.
North Carolina voters grew justifiably tired of the corruption and ineptitude of Democratic leaders, which stand as a looming threat for the GOP as it assumes full control in Raleigh. The problems facing this state are too great to avoid the tough decisions and there will be no patience for the type of scandal, secrecy and iron-fisted rule that previous regimes felt was their entitlement.
Four years ago, Beverly Perdue rode the coattails of President Barack Obama to a slim victory over former Charlotte Mayor McCrory. The ambitious and charismatic Republican seemingly never left the campaign trail, using his loss as a motivation to remain engaged in public issues and traveling across the state to build an impressive and successful organization.
That work paid off election night as McCrory captured the winning margin in 77 of North Carolina's 100 counties, cruising to a win that was never really in doubt. With him came a legion of new Republican lawmakers, building the majorities won in impressive fashion two years earlier. That new class includes two new representatives for Pitt County, Brian Brown in District 9 and Susan Martin in District 8.
Yet, with that victory and control of government comes great responsibility. The state's economy continues to flounder, as much by its inability to restore jobs lost in textiles, manufacturing and agriculture as to the national recession that began in 2007. Rebuilding that foundation will require a great deal of heavy lifting and innovative solutions. It will also necessitate the reform of the state's antiquated tax code.
While Republicans are likely to advance the cause of limited government, there is a great deal of investment desperately needed from the mountains to the coast. Schools, roads, mental health and other social services continue to need funding and have been struggling for years. Even as the new governor and his party's leadership work to reduce the tax burden, they must not turn their backs on those pressing public needs. ...

The News & Observer of Raleigh on the E. coli outbreak:
For all their allure, in recent years petting zoos at agricultural fairs have caused too much pain and sorrow for too many youngsters and their families in this state. Unless and until there's a completely reliable method of assuring that no young child will contract E. coli-related illnesses at fairs' petting zoos, the operations, popular as they are, should be prohibited.
The latest evidence comes from Cleveland County. As detailed in a report from The Charlotte Observer, a petting zoo at the fair in Shelby has now been determined to be "the focal point" of the E. coli outbreak that took the life of 2-year-old Gage Lefevers of Gastonia and sickened 105 others last month, according to health officials. This despite the fact that the General Assembly, following a horrific E. coli episode traced to a petting zoo at the 2004 State Fair in Raleigh, passed legislation requiring permits for animal-contact facilities at fairs and mandating precautions such as hand-washing stations.
No doubt "Aedin's Law" (named for then-2-year-old Aedin Gray of Carrboro, who survived a life-threatening kidney illness traced to the State Fair petting zoo) was well-meant. But according to the state public health veterinarian, there's no evidence that the 2005 law wasn't followed in Cleveland County.
Officials are still puzzling out what went wrong, but here's a common sense conclusion: In these settings, such close contact between very young children and animals such as sheep and goats — and sometimes, inevitably, their feces (where the illness-causing pathogens lurk) — can lead to serious consequences.
The story quoted a mother as saying "Unless you've been through this, you don't know how serious it is." Given the nature of the illnesses involved, the health risks, with their potentially lifelong consequences, are unacceptable.
Too bad, because children and animals are natural companions and because animal husbandry remains important to North Carolina and its future. So keep alive the great tradition of American agricultural fairs — but bid their petting zoos farewell.

Meals for Levi Bowland are pretty much the same every day. For breakfast, it is melon. For lunch, a heaping bowl of coleslaw and three bananas. Dinner is more fruit, and a salad.
Levi is 10 years old. Since birth, he has eaten almost exclusively raw and vegan food, meaning that no animal product passes his lips.
Before his birth, his parents, Dave and Mary Bowland, had all these addictions to junk food, candy, pastry, fried fatty foods, said Dave Bowland, 47, an internet consultant in Bobcaygeon, Ontario We didnt want Levi to grow up with those same addictions.
The Bowlands are among a growing cadre of families who are raising their children on entirely uncooked fare: fresh fruits, vegetables, seeds, nuts and sprouted grains. While most of these diets tend to be vegan, some do include raw meat or fish, as well as raw or unpasteurised milk, yogurt and cheese.
But many doctors are cautioning against the trend. A childs digestive system may not be able to pull the nutrients out of raw foods as effectively as an adults, said Dr Benjamin Kligler, a family practitioner with the Center for Health and Healing in Manhattan.
In the last year, Dr T J Gold, a pediatrician in Brooklyn has seen about five families who are feeding their children, including toddlers, raw diets. Some of the children were severely anaemic, she said, and parents were supplementing the diets with vitamin B12.
Dr Anupama Chawla, the director of paediatric gastroenterology and nutrition at Stony Brook Childrens Hospital, points out that although fruits and vegetables are very good sources of vitamins and fibre, they do lack protein. Legumes, lentils, chickpeas and red beans, which have protein, she said, cant be eaten uncooked.
Raw, unpasteurised animal products can also spread diseases like E coli and Salmonella, Dr Chawla added, one reason the American Academy of Pediatrics advises against feeding unpasteurised milk to infants, toddlers and pregnant women.
A raw diet could also be an extension of the parents eating obsessions, and maybe even a clinical eating disorder, said Dr Margo Maine, a specialist in eating disorders in West Hartford, Connecticut.
Raw enthusiasts insist they are raising vibrant, energetic children.
Julia Rodrigues, 31, a mother of two in East Lyme, Connecticut, credits a raw diet with clearing up her eczema and acne, and helping her and her husband, Daniel, shed 150 pounds. During her second pregnancy, she was almost entirely raw vegan; her

General Competition & Rules
These rules apply to both the Divisional Competition and the Showcake Competition
- The entry must be the sole and original work of only the person listed on the Registration Form. An adult can help bake the cake for a child/junior entrant. The child/junior must then complete the entry themselves – carving, icing, decorating, etc. For the Team Showcake Division, teams of up to 3 people are allowed to work on one entry.
- All entries must be the original design and work of the competitor or team. Taking inspiration from others' work and techniques is acceptable, but copies are not acceptable.
- Unless specified, entries can be comprised of real cake, a substitute (such as cereal bars) or Styrofoam dummies. If a cake substitute or a dummy is used, it must be a design that could be duplicated with real cake. Entries in the Sculpted Cake style must be made with real cake.
- All entries must be completely edible except for items such as columns, cake toppers, supports, wires, and stamens.
- Ribbons, tulle, etc., may be used to carry out a design. Don't use non-edible items in place of sugar mediums; for example, plastic pearls instead of fondant pearls. Cold Porcelain is not allowed. "Edible Images" are allowed and will be judged in context with the entire entry. Use of other substances may cause the entry to be disqualified.
- Each entry must have the competitor name, address, phone number, division, and style on the underside of the display board. No personal or business identifying marks, advertisements, special backdrops, photos (other than for the sculpted cake category), etc., will be allowed to be displayed along with the entry.
- All entrants must sign a Registration and Release Form. Early registration is encouraged to help plan space needs. Even though any number of entries is included in one registration fee for the Divisional and Tasting Competitions, please only register for items that you anticipate entering.
- While we encourage entries of new work, entries from other shows are acceptable. Entries from prior years of this Show can only be entered if the entry has been substantially re-worked and the entry did not receive an award.
- Entries may be removed after 5:00 pm and until 7:00 pm on Sunday, February 28, 2016. Any entries left after 7:00 pm will be considered to be forfeited and become the property of the event organizers.
- Entrant grants Capital Confectioners a nonexclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, sublicenseable, and transferable right and license to use, reproduce, create derivative works of, distribute, and publicly display any photos taken by Capital Confectioners staff, volunteers, or contractors.

- Entrants are responsible for any and all safety issues pertaining to their entries and absolve Capital Confectioners, the show organizers and sponsors of any liability related to damage caused to persons or property by the entry.
- Judging of the entries will be completed by teams of qualified judges selected by the Capital Confectioner's Show Committee. The judges' decisions will be final. The judges will complete a comment sheet for each entry; those sheets will be distributed to the entrant after the Awards Ceremony. Judging will be conducted consensus style.
- The judges and Show Committee enforce policy and procedures. Any issues regarding proper placement, originality, etc., brought to the attention of the Show Director or Show Committee during the show will be directed to the head judge so that a determination can be made. Any entry deemed in poor taste will be disqualified and removed. Judges and/or Show Committee have the right to re-classify an entry if necessary. If an entry is deemed by the judges to be a copy of someone else's work, the entry will be disqualified.
DIVISIONAL COMPETITION – Rules and Information
Divisions & Styles
- Entries are classified by Division (the experience/skill level of the entrant) and Style (the cake structure and type).
- Competitors may enter only one division but submit as many style entries in that division as they choose. Review the division and style information and choose the division that most closely matches your skill level. It is the responsibility of the entrant to accurately and fairly place themselves in a Division. Extra consideration should be given to other applicable skills – for example a competitor who has an art degree and has worked with clay sculptures for 5 years should be entering in the Advanced or higher Division even if they have only been working with cake and edible media for a short time.
- Entrants must move to the next higher division once they have won first place in any style in their division for 2 consecutive years or if they won best of their division.
- Entrants who compete in other similar competitions should be competing in an equivalent division and in no case can enter this competition in a lower division.

These special awards are all conducted from within the Divisional Competition. At check-in, competitors designate if they want their entry to be considered. Specially selected judges will review the entries and determine a winner.
INNOVATION AWARD – Sponsored by the Capital Confectioners Cake Club
If, for your entry in the 2016 "That Takes the Cake!" Sugar Art Show and Cake Competition, you have developed a new technique, a new use of an existing medium, or a new tool, you meet the criteria to apply for the That Takes the Cake Innovation Award, which is unique to this show. A team of judges will review the entries in this special cross-divisional category to determine one winner. Competitors wishing their entry to be judged for this award must indicate this on their Entry Form, and be available to meet with the judging team between 2 pm and 6 pm on Saturday, February 27th, 2016, to explain the specifics of the innovation. Entrants for the Innovation Award are encouraged to provide in-progress photos or other documentation along with their entry. This documentation along with signage designating the entry as an Innovation Award contender will be on display at the table with the entry. The decision of the panel of judges is final and the award may not be given out if the panel determines that no entry meets the criteria. The winner will be announced during the Awards Ceremony.
Surprise Inside Award
A new trend in cake decorating is for cakes to be decorated on the inside as well as the outside. These Surprise Inside Cakes all have designs baked into the cake – ranging from spheres to shapes – they are fun to cut and see what is inside. A team of judges will review the entries in this special cross-divisional category to determine one winner. Competitors wishing their entry to be judged for this award must indicate this on their Entry Form, and be available to meet with the judging team between 2 pm and 6 pm on Saturday, February 27th, 2016. The competitor will cut into their entry in front of the judges and the removed piece will then be on display throughout the rest of the Show. The decision of the panel of judges is final and the award may not be given out if the panel determines that no entry meets the criteria. The winner will be announced during the Awards Ceremony.
Painting Award
For this special award, cake decorating artistry extends beyond piping bags and moves into a more traditional art form – painting. The entry will be judged on the painting techniques and the overall application of painting to enhance the finished entry. Any type of edible paint media may be used. Airbrush painting and sponge painting are allowed in conjunction with paintbrush painting but the judging will be based primarily on the brush painting. A team of judges will review the entries in this special cross-divisional category to determine one winner. Competitors wishing their entry to be judged for this award must indicate this on their Entry Form, and be available to meet with the judging team between 2 pm and 6 pm on Saturday, February 27th, 2016, to discuss the painting techniques and media used. The decision of the panel of judges is final and the award may not be given out if the panel determines that no entry meets the criteria. The winner will be announced during the Awards Ceremony.
School Spirit – Sponsored by Make It Sweet
Entrants in this special award are challenged to present cakes that represent their school.
More than just school colors or mascots, these cakes should tell the story of the school. Competitors wishing their entry to be judged for this award must indicate this on their Entry Form. This special category will be reviewed by a selected panel of judges who will determine a 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winner. Winners will receive a prize pack and Make It Sweet Gift Certificates in the amounts of $100 for 3rd place, $150 for 2nd place, and $250 for 1st place. Certificates can be used for supplies and/or classes at Make It Sweet. Both the student and the school will be recognized at the awards ceremony.
2016 Showcake Competition
A Showcake is the centerpiece of a special event. Showcakes are showstoppers that make people wonder if it is really cake and how it was made. You have seen Showcake style works of art created on Food Network Challenges, TLC's Ultimate Cake Off and Ace of Cakes type shows. A Showcake might be for a wedding, 1st, 16th or 80th birthday, a retirement, a baby shower, a corporate event, an anniversary or any special event. One defining element is that Showcakes have a very specific theme that is carefully incorporated into all aspects of the cake and the cake display.
2016 Night at the Museum
Where Cake Meets Art!
When you spend your magical night in a museum, what wonders of cake art will you create? Will you bring to life giant dinosaur skeletons or gleaming suits of armor? Will you demonstrate your decorating talents through classic paintings and sculptures or evoke the past, present, or future of scientific endeavors? Or will you encapsulate the glory and majesty of museum architecture itself? Show us what museums mean to you in a magnificent melange of sugar arts techniques designed to inspire and delight everyone who seeks broader horizons.

My Ham Glaze
Total Time
Prep 5 mins
Cook 0 mins
I put this on ham whenever I make it. It bakes nicely and is so easy.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 236.59 ml orange juice
- 236.59 ml packed brown sugar
- 473.18 ml apricot preserves
- Mix brown sugar into OJ until dissolved. Stir in preserves.
- Pour over ham and bake as usual.
Most Helpful
I can't believe I never reviewed this. This is so super easy, and I always have the ingredients on hand. I shared it with my sister and her dinner guests went crazy for it. The taste is a 4-star but I made it a 5-star because it is such a tremendous time saver for me, especially on holidays when I am trying to make a bunch of other things too.
This was good and easy. I didn't have enough apricot to make two cups so I made the difference up with pineapple preserves. I basted the ham every 30 minutes and still had plenty leftover for sauce on the table. Thanks.
Outstanding! My children absolutely loved the ham, and insisted on using some of the glaze as a dipping sauce. It made for an enjoyable Christmas dinner. Thanks a bunch.
