For those who love this writer's work (and they are many), the seven years since On Beauty was published have been long ones. But now comes NW, an astonishing and eloquent novel that is by turns funny and heartbreaking, with flights of language and emotional insight so true, so honest, as to make us forget the wait. "NW" stands for northwest London. There, in a public housing development that reflects all the errors of 1970s urban planning—large, anonymous blocks of cramped and characterless flats—best friends Leah and Natalie (née Keisha) survive forays into easy drugs and early sex to flourish both emotionally and physically. They make it out to universities and lives beyond the projects. Leah lands a job with a social services agency as well as a loving, passionate husband; Natalie, more spectacularly, becomes a successful barrister, wife of a wealthy Italian financial-services professional and mother of two pampered children who will never suffer privations as she did, at least not in any obvious ways. But nothing about NW, the novel or the neighborhood, is obvious, and both Leah and Natalie have their secrets, which have the potential to explode their carefully and painfully constructed lives. Smith renders northwest London so vividly that her vision of its neighborhoods and their inhabitants will indelibly frame the experiences of anyone who decides to travel there after reading this book.

It's harder than ever to justify a tool that requires an annual maintenance fee in addition to a significant initial investment. Like e-mail and word-processing, fleet software is so powerful that no one uses the full functionality (if they use the program at all; think how often you've heard someone say they bought software but don't use it). Vehicle technology is evolving so rapidly that software developers constantly release updates; if employees don't get regular training your operation won't enjoy the long-term savings and efficiencies such programs are designed to provide.
Given these realities, developing an Excel spreadsheet or Access database to track assets and repairs is an idea that never dies. But beware: Unless you or someone you know is a programming whiz and has lots of spare time, you'll invest more time, effort, and money than you expect on "software development" of your own. I know a manager who developed a database and, after moving to another position, was asked as a favor to come back and restore it when it crashed. He succeeded, but it crashed again. It's no longer being used.
Keep in mind that you're not the only one using the program. Technicians input information every day that keeps the entire operation running smoothly. Commercial software can automatically generate a purchase order when, say, a particular part's inventory hits a predetermined number. That kind of functionality prevents time-sucks like having to send someone out for a tie rod end or some other crucial part that turns a routine activity into an emergency.
[QUESTION] I know what we spend on fuel and salaries, but that's about it. How do I develop a system that'll establish benchmarks – i.e., fleet age in miles and years, average operating cost/mile, repair turnaround time, and asset availability – I can use to justify expense requests? P.S. My operation doesn't have a computer.
[ANSWER] Whether you're a pen-and-paper operation or using Web-based software, you can't manage what you don't track. If you're starting an asset-management program from Ground Zero:
There are other things an in-house solution can't do or requires more effort to accomplish, says City of Fort Wayne Fleet Director Larry Campbell, an American Public Works Association Certified Public Fleet Professional and Indiana Local Technical Assistance Program instructor. He and his 27 employees oversee 1,115 vehicles and 720 pieces of off-road equipment for 52 departments. In-house software limitations include the ability to:
"Software comes with modules most operations don't use every day, but they sure come in handy when you do need them," Campbell says.
Some road maintenance software offers a fleet applet or module. It may be appropriate for your needs, but remember that vehicles aren't the type of asset the program was developed for. If you can, go for the software designed first and foremost for fleets.
If you're just beginning to think about asset-management software, your operation probably doesn't already use related software like fuel- and tire pressure-management or vehicle location tracking (AVL/GPS). If you do, you already know you can't use it for vehicle maintenance or to develop replacement schedules. You can't download such data into a home-grown solution, but you can into a commercial program.
After-sales service is almost more important than the software program itself.
The fleet department in Troy, Mich., enhances the city's revenue stream by servicing the assets of 13 neighboring communities in addition to its own. Fleet Maintenance Superintendent Sam Lamerato appreciates his provider's recent decision to make a dashboard a standard function at no additional fee. He checks it four or five times a day to see what's going on in his shop, which operates from 7 a.m. to midnight. He can see if suppliers are delivering parts on time and check performance indicators like budget goals.
But he appreciates FASTER Asset Solutions' customer service even more. A technician can get phone support anytime. In addition to regional training and an annual visit, the company holds an annual conference where Lamerato networks with people who oversee operations for UPS and other huge fleets. He avoids the potential pitfalls of new equipment and technologies by listening to his colleagues describe their implementation experiences.
To ensure as smooth an entry as possible for new team members, Government Fleet magazine's 2011 Manager of the Year requires each employee to assemble a procedures manual and update the three-ring binder as necessary. In addition to a textual explanation, every step the employee uses Faster Asset Solutions for is illustrated with a screen shot of the software. The manual also must explain how the software integrates with back-office functions like accounts payable as well as fuel- and other fleet-related programs.
Begin by making a list of every single vehicle and piece of equipment that includes these six elements: asset number, year, make, model, class, and whether the asset's in service or not.

"I guess it's in the jeans," says Tiffany Colaizzi, founder and owner of Name Droppers, Salt Lake City's highest-fashion consignment shop.
Three generations of women-Tiffany, her mother, Deanna, and her daughter, Sydney-combined their creativity, fashion sense and natural knack for customer service to build a business that draws consigners from fashion centers like Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco and Palm Beach. Gathering trends from so many areas gives Name Droppers a distinct edge in the highly competitive retail fashion industry.
Tiffany's vision for Name Droppers has always been a store with high-end designer clothing at affordable consignment store pricing. With its black-and-pink walls, crystal chandeliers and 3,000 square feet of clothing and accessories for both men and women, Name Droppers on Highland Drive rivals designer boutiques in its selection, ambience and service. Deanna designed the space when the store outgrew its original location on Parleys Way, which became Name Droppers Outlet, selling merchandise marked down further from its original consignment price.
"I feel I was born to be in retail," says Tiffany. "I gained all of my business sense from working with my mother daily for my first five years in business. She is the wisest woman I know."
Tiffany's daughter Sydney also grew up in the business. Her grandmother Deanna proudly remarks:
"Sydney could take over the business tomorrow-she understands every aspect of it and is wonderful with customers."
Maybe Tiffany is right about those "jeans."

Eucalyptus Body Wash
I tried this first when purchased at a hotel --I had forgotten my body wash. This was so fresh and great smelling and lots of suds that when I began to run out I had to check the bottle to re-order some online.I love this scent it's not too flowery and makes me feel clean and fresh.
Can't live without this fragrance in my shower!
This truly is the freshest fragrance that you can have in your shower. I love the summery scent…even in the Winter! I'm never without an extra bottle in my cupboard, just so I don't run out. I highly recommend the body wash, although the companion products are great as well!
This has replaced my former favorite…lavender!

Brett Favre retires…maybe
Brett Favre told his teammates he would not be returning to the Minnesota Vikings according to multiple online reports. ESPN NFL reporter Adam Shefter said 40-year-old Favre sent his teammates a text message reading "this is it."
It is not clear whether or not "this is it" is referring to his time with the Vikings or with his NFL career. The sources also said a press release is expected sometime today.
The Associated Press added that a source said Favre told coach Brad Childress his ankle was not responding well to surgery and rehabilitation in a phone call.
While it's entirely believable that Brett Favre could be done with football considering his banged up ankle coupled with the fact he has not appeared at the Vikings training camp yet, some will still doubt a Favre retirement.
This is the third alleged retirement for Favre and last season he helped the Vikings to the NFC title game against the eventual Super Bowl champion New Orleans Saints. Favre has one year left on his two-year contract with the Vikings.
A question for the fans, which Brett Favre jersey captures the legacy of his career? His storied time with Green Bay or his amazing comeback with the Vikings — which nearly resulted in a Super Bowl appearance.

In a small study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 16 obese people followed an intermittent fast: eating normal meals one day, then on the next day having only one meal (lunch), which delivered 25 percent of the calories needed to maintain their weight and activity level. "I expected that they'd overeat on the non-fasting day," says study author Krista Varady, PhD. But they didn't, and after eight weeks, the dieters lost 10 to 30 pounds.
Alternate day fasting (ADF) reduced the subjects' overall calorie intake. "When participants woke up and made a big breakfast, they couldn't ?nish it—possibly because their stomachs had shrunk," Varady theorizes. Ongoing research suggests ADF might also help moderately overweight people.
But this regimen is controversial, and it's not for everyone, notes Keri Gans, RD, of the American Dietetic Association. People with health issues like diabetes or a history of eating disorders should steer clear of ADF, and, she says, no one should try it without a doctor's OK. If you're interested, consider consulting a dietitian who can customize your meals.

From cocktail parties to gift wrapping to the litany of family events, the spirit of the season is always exciting – but also, frankly, exhausting. With chilly weather and a too-busy schedule, November and December can mean flares for many of us. It's hard to revel in the season's twinkle when it hurts to hold a cocktail. And when you're also the one expected to host friends and family for a dinner party, the thought of picking up a knife with those aching joints can be downright daunting.
You'd think that, as a professional recipe developer and cookbook author, I would have figured out a way to slice and dice without aggravating the joint pain that accompanies my lupus flares. But, when I'm cooking for a crowd, I have to juggle my favorite recipes with the reality of how my body feels – which, even for me, means cooking more simply.
I've learned that by being smart about how and what I cook when I'm entertaining, I can be the hostess with the mostest without hurting my joints. I start by limiting the ingredients I use for each dish, so my grocery shopping experiences don't leave me wincing before I even turn on the oven. I rely on friends for the things that take the most effort, which in my case means dessert (I always get in over my head) and wine (carrying heavy bags hurts my hands on a bad day). And I axe the knife work as much as possible, turning instead to high-quality, prechopped, prewashed ingredients. I prepare the meal over the course of a few days, which means that even on the busiest prep day, I don't need to put in more than about 15 minutes of kitchen time.
The night of the feast, I'm always surprised by how energetic I am after having prepared a glorious meal, and by how little my guests recognize that I've taken shortcuts. And as the wine flows and the chatter builds, I'm pleased at just how delicious the meal is, even though I had to pick up the knife only once or twice.
Now that's a dinner party I can celebrate.

ZF-6679: Items configured from Zend_Application::setOptions() via a config entry do not have their keys cast to lower case
The ability to have one application.ini file source another one via the config directive is working fine with proper merging now as of Zend Framework 1.8.1.
However, config file referenced via the config directive do not have their array keys cast to lower case, which is the first thing setOptions does with the config file that contains the config directive (I know this sounds confusing, but I have a patch against the subversion repository that fixes this). If you have the following scenario:
ini #1
config = "ini #2" includePaths.path1 = "some/path"
ini #2
includePaths.path2= "another/path"
One would expect the resulting array to be something like:
array( 'config' => 'ini #2', 'includepaths' => array( 'path1' => 'some/path', 'path2' => 'another/path' ) )
In actuality, however, what you end up with is:
array( 'config' => 'ini #2', 'includepaths' => array( 'path1' => 'some/path', ), 'includePaths' => array( 'path2' => 'another/path' ) )
I have a simple fix for this issue that I will post to this issue once I figure out the best way to attach patches to an issue (this is the first issue that I've filed in the Zend Framework Issue Tracker, and I'm not too familiar with the JIRA Issue Tracker software).
Updated description formatting after getting more familiar with JIRA Text Formatting options.
This patch is against http://framework.zend.com/svn/framework/…, revision 15595.
Linking ZF-6459 as a related issue. ZF-6459 fixed the deep merging issue to make it possible to use the config option, but without the keys from the referenced config file cast to lower case, in order for the deep merge to work, the top-level keys in a referenced config file must all be in lower case.
set component and Tags.
Fixed in trunk and 1.9 release branch. Basically, the options are no longer being stored with flattened keys, but we are still allowing lookups using flattened keys -- but passing case sensitive keys will also now work.

Product demonstration
Core features
Out-of-band KVM
Technicians no longer need rely on a functioning operating system and network drivers to take control of a computer. VNC Viewer Plus can connect to a supported computer with Intel® Core™ vPro™ technology out-of-band, so that more complex issues, such as OS failures and boot problems, can be diagnosed remotely. Without the need to take a desk-side trip, productivity increases and users experience less downtime.
Intel® Fast Call for Help
With appropriate infrastructure and configuration, VNC Viewer Plus can act as the management console in a Fast Call for Help session, automatically establishing a secure connection back out to a computer over the Internet, and enabling a technician to take control.
Remote reboot
Even if it is possible to obtain an out-of-band remote control session, a computer may not respond to keyboard or mouse input. VNC Viewer Plus can perform a hardware reset, allowing a technician to resume diagnosis without a desk-side visit.
Remote power on/off
With the increasing emphasis on energy saving, many users turn off their computers before leaving work for the day. This can make a technician's job difficult if out-of-hours maintenance is required. VNC Viewer Plus can power a machine up and down again as required, providing a simple solution to this common problem.
Secure connections
VNC Viewer Plus connects using the security features built-in to Intel® Core™ vPro™ technology. With appropriate additional configuration, VNC Viewer Plus can provide extra security in the form of TLS or Mutual TLS, providing protection from connection snooping, man-in-the-middle attacks and packet-tampering.
Image mounting
Following an OS failure, boot record corruption or similar, technicians are often left with a computer that will not boot from its own hard disk drive. Such problems would normally involve a desk-side visit to resolve. It is possible to connect out-of-band using VNC Viewer Plus, mount an image representing a floppy disk, CD, or DVD, and boot the computer from that image.
Programmatic connectivity
You can start VNC Viewer Plus and connect automatically from a command line or a web browser using the URI scheme

Adobe Cyber-Attack; Security Alert Issued
Adobe has reported that a cyber-attack by a third party has compromised the security of user information including the encrypted credit/debit card data, Adobe ID's and passwords of 2.9 million customers. At the time the alert was issued, Adobe did not believe that decrypted credit card or debit card numbers were accessed. The company says in a security alert (posted in full below) that it has reset the affected passwords and is sending emails to customers whose data has been accessed (and to only those customers) with instructions on how to change their passwords. If you haven't received an email and want to reset your Adobe password, instructions can be found here. Adobe also recommends changing the password of other accounts with the same user ID and password. Although Adobe has not specifically mentioned Creative Cloud in its security alert, that appears to be the target of these attacks; it's possible that non-subscriber information has been accessed as well.
Additionally, Adobe is sending letters to those customers whose credit or debit card information "was believed to be involved," with information about next steps to help prevent potential misuse of the information. Processing banks for Adobe payments have been notified. Further, Adobe is offering a complimentary, one year credit monitoring membership ("where available") for those whose credit card and debit card information was breached.
And, finally, Adobe is working with federal law enforcement to investigate the attack.
At the same time, Adobe says that source code for Adobe Acrobat, ColdFusion, ColdFusion Builder and other Adobe products has also been accessed by a third party. The company is currently not aware of any increased risk to customers; you can read more about this security alert here. A security update for Acrobat XI and Acrobat Reader is expected on Tuesday, October 8.
Important Customer Security Announcement
Cyber attacks are one of the unfortunate realities of doing business today. Given the profile and widespread use of many of our products, Adobe has attracted increasing attention from cyber attackers. Very recently, Adobe's security team discovered sophisticated attacks on our network, involving the illegal access of customer information as well as source code for numerous Adobe products. We believe these attacks may be related.
Our investigation currently indicates that the attackers accessed Adobe customer IDs and encrypted passwords on our systems. We also believe the attackers removed from our systems certain information relating to 2.9 million Adobe customers, including customer names, encrypted credit or debit card numbers, expiration dates, and other information relating to customer orders. At this time, we do not believe the attackers removed decrypted credit or debit card numbers from our systems. We deeply regret that this incident occurred. We're working diligently internally, as well as with external partners and law enforcement, to address the incident. We're taking the following steps:
- As a precaution, we are resetting relevant customer passwords to help prevent unauthorized access to Adobe ID accounts. If your user ID and password were involved, you will receive an email notification from us with information on how to change your password. We also recommend that you change your passwords on any website where you may have used the same user ID and password.
- We are in the process of notifying customers whose credit or debit card information we believe to be involved in the incident. If your information was involved, you will receive a notification letter from us with additional information on steps you can take to help protect yourself against potential misuse of personal information about you. Adobe is also offering customers, whose credit or debit card information was involved, the option of enrolling in a one-year complimentary credit monitoring membership where available.
- We have notified the banks processing customer payments for Adobe, so that they can work with the payment card companies and card-issuing banks to help protect customers' accounts.
- We have contacted federal law enforcement and are assisting in their investigation.
We are also investigating the illegal access to source code of numerous Adobe products. Based on our findings to date, we are not aware of any specific increased risk to customers as a result of this incident. For more information, please see the blog post here.
We value the trust of our customers. We will work aggressively to prevent these types of events from occurring in the future. Again, we deeply regret any inconvenience this may cause you. If you would like additional information, please refer to Adobe's Customer Support page.

Chief Security Officer

Q. I'm going through menopause and feel so stressed! Is this common?
A. Many women find the time around menopause stressful. This may be partially due to hormonal changes and resulting bothersome symptoms, including hot flashes and disrupted sleep. In addition, complex family and personal issues such as the demands of teenage children, aging parents, midlife spouses, and career changes often converge on women during these years. In some studies, more perimenopausal women reported anxiety than did postmenopausal women.
Q. Is stress dangerous?
A. Chronic stress is not good for anyone's health. It may cause increased blood pressure and heart rate, headaches, gastric reflux, anxiety, and, over the long term, an increased risk for heart disease. Some believe that chronic stress may affect our immune system, making us more susceptible to illness, infections, and even cancer.
Q. Does stress have other effects?
A. Stress affects not only our health but also our relationships, work performance, general sense of well-being, and quality of life.
Q. What can I do to reduce stress?
A. There are many effective ways to reduce stress:
• Exercise. Walk with a friend, join a yoga class, bike, hike — whatever you enjoy, exercise is a great way to reduce stress and stay healthy.
• Talk. Share your concerns with a family member, good friend, healthcare professional, or counselor. It is possible to learn better techniques for dealing with stress.
• Eat well. Although eating chocolate may soothe stress in the short run, overindulgence leads to its own set of problems! A healthier strategy is to eat three nutritious meals daily, with healthy snacks, including fresh fruits and vegetables, nuts, and yogurt.
• Avoid caffeine and alcohol. Herbal tea (iced, if hot flashes are bothersome) provides a soothing alternative to caffeinated drinks. Although alcohol may make you feel drowsy and relaxed, it has been shown to interfere with sleep quality. And, the potential for alcohol abuse and other health risks makes it a poor option for stress reduction.
• Sleep. Adequate sleep is crucial for alert functioning during the waking hours. Most adults require between 6 to 9 hours of sleep per night. Try to determine your sleep needs and then get as much as you need!
• Relax. Participate in a "mind-body" program (if available in your community), or learn the techniques of deep breathing, positive thinking, and meditation through books and CDs.
• Pamper. Treat yourself to a massage, manicure, or soothing bath. Enjoy a good book, music, or a favorite hobby. Find a creative outlet by enrolling in an art or music program.
• Enjoy. And don't forget to laugh and smile at every opportunity!
Q. How do I use deep-breathing exercises to reduce stress?
A. Try this simple exercise and practice often:
• Sit in a hard-backed chair with both feet on the floor.
• Rest hands on the abdomen.
• Slowly count to four while inhaling through the nose and feel the abdomen rise.
• Hold that breath for a second.
• Then, slowly count to four while exhaling through the mouth — let the abdomen slowly fall.
• Repeat this exercise 5 to 10 times.
Q. Vacations reduce stress, but what can I do if currently there's no extra time or money?
A. Take a "mini mind vacation"! Guided imagery can help achieve a state of deep relaxation and reduce stress. Close your eyes and visualize a scene from your memory that brings joy. Try to get lost in that "happy place," event, or image for several minutes, allowing your mind to return to that pleasurable experience.
Q. Are there any Web resources I can refer to?
A. Learn more from the National Institute of Mental Health and the Canadian Mental Health Association.

"My Japan" is an acknowledgment of my first year living in Japan. I am originally from the US, but I came to fall in love with another country, a country the fell out of line with and, at the same time, lived up to my childhood stereotypes. The Japan of my childhood consisted of only five types of people: Geisha, Samurai, Ninja, Sumo wrestler, and farmer. In my introduction, I explore those preconceived and adolescent notions about Japan while revealing why those stereotypes can still be found in "my japan" of today. While many of the pictures and pages are a well ordered documentation of the wonder of my part of Japan, Miyazaki (in the far and tropical south), some pages are also for pure fun, to memorialize some of my personal experiences and friendships that I had and made along the way. I hope you enjoy this book as much as I did making it, and that it can in some way convey my.....passion for the land that taught me about passion.

No injuries reported in emergency landing
Published: Monday, May 20, 2013 at 12:45 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, May 20, 2013 at 12:18 p.m.
Three people were not injured after the small airplane they were flying in underwent an emergency landing in Midway on Saturday morning.
The Midway Volunteer Fire Department was dispatched to the incident at 11:01 a.m.
Fred Cozee, operations chief with the Midway VFD, said members of the Civil Air Patrol were flying the single-engine Cessna from Winston-Salem to the Davidson County Airport. The people on board told Cozee the engine stalled on them, and they couldn't restart it. The pilot located a field at Clodfelter and Long Perryman roads.
"They were very fortunate," Cozee said.
Part of the wing from the plane touched Clodfelter Road. However, the emergency landing caused minimal impact to traffic, the operations chief said.
The Davidson County Sheriff's Office and N.C. Highway Patrol assisted Midway firefighters at the scene.

CT of the head: A volume rendering (VR) of a three-dimensional set of computed tomography (CT) images shown as a two-dimensional projection. In this case, extremely thin slices were created from the original scan and sent to a separate computer, which transformed them into these 3D images. The surgeon then used these images to aid in surgical planning to repair fractures, including one clearly visible in the jaw and others on the bridge of the nose and the outer edges of the eye sockets.
Before Arriving for Your Procedure
Your doctor has requested a computed tomography scan (CT) of your brain. CT scans use X-ray technology and advanced computer analysis to create detailed pictures of the body. This technology, called cross-sectional imaging, allows the imaging physician to take highly detailed images and to assess your brain for injury or abnormality, including bleeding, tumors, blood clots or signs of stroke. The Cedars-Sinai S. Mark Taper Foundation Imaging Center has a team of brain imaging specialists, led by Barry D. Pressman, MD, chief, Neuroradiology and Head and Neck Radiology. Patients who are diabetic and taking Glucophage will need clearance from their ordering physician before the exam.
If your exam includes an intravenous injection (injection in a vein in your arm), you will be asked not to eat or drink anything for three hours before your exam. You can drink clear liquids, unless you are on restricted fluids.
Please leave your jewelry and valuables at home.
Although we do not anticipate any delay in your scheduled appointment, we recommend that you bring a book, a magazine or a music player to help pass any time you may have to wait.
- Directions and parking information
- Why choose the S. Mark Taper Foundation Imaging Center for a CT study?
CT of the Brain
After Arriving
This exam may include an injection of a contrast material that contains iodine. Please tell the technologist, radiology nurse and/or physician of any allergies you may have before your exam.
The radiology nurse or technologist will ask you a few questions regarding your medical history and start your IV for the exam.
During Your Procedure
While positioning you on the exam table, the technologist will explain your procedure and answer any questions you may have.
You will be asked to lie flat on your back. Your arms will be positioned at your sides.
Your head will be placed in a holder and you will be asked to hold very still. Only your head will be covered by the scanner. The scanner is open at the back and the front, allowing you to see out.
People who fear small, close places (claustrophobic) usually do not have problems with this procedure.
The technologist will always be able to see and hear you during your exam.
If contrast (dye) is required, it will be injected through the IV that was placed by the radiology nurse or technologist before your exam.
During the injection you may experience a warm sensation all over your body and a metal taste in your mouth. This is normal.
If you experience any itching, sneezing, nasal congestion, scratchy throat or swelling of your face you should notify the technologist immediately.
This procedure usually takes approximately 15 to 30 minutes.
After Your Procedure
There are no restrictions placed on you after this procedure. You may eat and drive as normal.
Your study will be read by a neuro-radiologist (imaging physician) and the results sent to your physician, usually within 48 hours.
Your physician will discuss these results with you and explain what they mean in relation to your health.
To request copies of your pictures on a PC and MAC compatible CD, or a copy of your report, call 310-423-8000.
Below: Image of a CT brain perfusion study, which analyzes blood flow in the brain. The study below was used to map the extent of hemodynamic compromise or damage to the brain after a stroke. The red and blue indicate areas that have been damaged. Red is the infarct zone where the stroke occurred. Blue shows blood flow affected by the stroke.
For more information or to schedule an appointment, please call 310-423-8000.

Local boards have flexibility on secretary salaries
Published: Sunday, November 10, 2013 at 3:05 a.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, November 10, 2013 at 3:05 a.m.
When it comes to deciding how much their secretaries make, local school districts have a lot of flexibility, said Andrew Cox, chief of school reporting in the state Department of Public Instruction.
All seven of Southeastern North Carolina's highest-paid secretaries are considered office support employees by state records: people who prepare, transfer, transcribe and file written communications, according to the Department of Public Instruction's job description.
The state salary scale recommends that office support employees be paid between $18,750 and $48,058, depending on their duties and how many months in a year they work. Employees move up a step on the salary scale for each year they work in the district. A new employee would be on the 0 step, while someone who had worked in the district for 10 years would be on the 10th step.
But local districts can decide to pay some employees' salaries out of local funding and set their own salary ranges for those jobs, which can include any position, Cox said. Six of the seven secretaries are paid with local funding, Cox said. Jill Eubanks, assistant to Brunswick County Schools Superintendent Edward Pruden, is the only one not paid locally.
The seven highest-paid secretaries also receive longevity pay because they've held their jobs for at least 10 years. Under the longevity pay plan, which is statewide, employees who have worked for the state for 10 years or more receive an annual supplement that's a percentage of their salary. The supplement ranges from 1.5 percent for an employee with 10 to 15 years of experience to 4.5 percent for an employee with 25 or more years of experience.
Secretaries in Brunswick County Schools also receive an annual supplement of either 2 percent of their salary or $100.
This is given to all classified employees. Classified employees, including secretaries, in New Hanover County Schools don't receive a supplement.
There is a limit to the base salaries secretaries – or any school system employee – can make. But when extras such as longevity pay, local supplements or credit for outside work experience are added, there is no ceiling for a secretary's salary.

I doubt it'll be the case every night this summer - but for Thursday at least, it's fair to say the music was largely ancillary to the Twilight Concert Series' return in 2011.
Of course, if you were one of the 500 or so hardy souls stationed down front to endure the twin sonic assaults of No Age and headliners Explosions In The Sky, the music was your night - and has probably been no small part of your day as well. Doubtless, there are hundreds of sets of ears still ringing - or worse - after the indescribably loud first 30 minutes of Thursday night's free concert.
But the big news Thursday was that there was no big news. If you were there a half-hour before the 7 p.m. showtime, it seemed like there would be few enough people attend that the concert promoters could begin prepping to move the much-loved series to some pocket park downtown. But alas, a healthy crowd did arrive - but it wasn't overwhelming. No fences were torn down and the official estimate was put at 25,000.
OK, so no one was mauled, trampled or stampeded. What about the music?
First off, I'm not sure anyone cared much about the music - at any point.
As mentioned, the high-energy, two-man assault of No Age was one devil of a kick-start for a lethargic summer evening. These guys were loud enough and heavy enough that I can honestly say I was shocked to realize there was just two of them onstage. I've seen six-piece bands that didn't generate nearly that much volume.
And once their sound was mixed properly - about 10 songs in to their 19-song set - they started to win over some fans - or at least the number of scowls shot toward the stage began to decline. The Los Angeles-based group's retro-punk jams are fun, energetic and worthy of further investigation. I'd like to see them again - in a smaller venue. And with earplugs.
The headliners, Austin, Texas' Explosions in the Sky, came out and did what they do. Which is play lengthy, intense jams that you either know, appreciate and enjoy - or you don't. And this is where I think the Twilight Series has changed a bit. Used to, you could expect a big crowd when someone quite popular was there. Well, going back a few years, 25,000 people would have counted not just big, but a gigantic crowd.
Not anymore. I'm willing to bet that two-thirds of Thursday night's "audience" either didn't know who Explosions is, couldn't have named one song, and furthermore, didn't care to learn more. They were there to be seen, drink cold beer, find their friends, and have their picture taken on their cell phone camera with the stage looming in the background.
And that's fine, of course. But don't tell me 25,000 people showed up to see a concert. (And Explosions played terrific - even if no one cared.) They went to Pioneer Park for the first Twilight show - whatever that was.

• The 2012 and 2013 unanimous Ivy Player of the Year and the 2010 Ivy Rookie of the Year, Rasheed was a three-time First-Team All-Ivy selection among garnering numerous national accolades.

• This was the first time an Ivy program has earned four consecutive automatic berths into the NCAA tournament.
• This group was the first since the 1974-78 teams to win four consecutive Ivy titles and first since the double round robin was established.
Tiger Trailblazers:
• During head coach Courtney Banghart's tenure at Princeton, the Tigers have established new Ivy League records year-in and year-out.
• They have earned the highest seeds in the NCAA tournament at No. 9 the last two seasons, No. 11 and No. 12, in 2011 and 2010, respectively.

The numbers are shocking, writes Catholic New York in this recent editorial:
In just five years, the number of New York City residents who depend on food pantries and soup kitchens has shot up to 1.4 million. That's 200,000 more than in 2008 and it accounts for one-fifth of the city's residents
And contrary to popular perception, the vast majority of those battling hunger are not the homeless.
They're older women, they're working families, they're children and they're veterans.
The appalling statistics: 1 in 5 city children live in food scarce homes; 1 in 6 city adults live in food scarce homes; 11.5 percent of people over 60 don't have enough food, an increase of 33 percent since 2008; 64 percent of people relying on the city's food pantries and soup kitchens are women; 95,000 food recipients are veterans.
The hunger crisis, and it is indeed a crisis, was spotlighted in lengthy and detailed coverage this week in the New York Daily News, which also pointed out the strains placed on the charitable agencies, many of them Catholic groups, who run the city's network of some 1,000 food pantries and soup kitchens.
Catholic New York
Msgr. Kevin Sullivan, executive director of the Archdiocesan Catholic Charities, told the paper that people are turning to us for emergency help because it's so hard for them to find jobs, or decent-paying jobs. Many, he added, don't have enough to pay rent and to eat.
To lend an immediate hand and get personal insight he can share with legislators, Msgr. Sullivan is making the rounds, rolling up his sleeves and helping out at local food pantries affiliated with Catholic Charities. Last week he volunteered at St. Jerome's pantry in the Bronx.
"It's an astounding surge in need," he said.

WIP Wednesday Link-Up
Anyway, I like to do this weekly linky called WIP Wednesday. This is where you get to show off the half-dones, the almost-theres, or even the projects that only exist in your own head. Personally, I like to list all of my WIPs, because I'm OCD like that. It helps me keep track of my progress and feel like I've actually accomplished something. Also, when I'm feeling scattered (Scattered? Who, me?), I can look at my list and know exactly what to focus on. But if you don't want to list all your WIPs, you can pick one or two projects to highlight. It's your call. And your WIPs don't have to be quilts, any sewing project is fair game.
The only rules are: 1) Please link back to my blog in your WIP Wednesday post. Make it easy on yourself and grab the button in my sidebar. Put it in your own sidebar, and you won't have to remember every week! 2) Please comment on at least one or two of the other links.
Got it? Okay, what are you waiting for? Join in and link up!
Ongoing Projects:
Scrappy Mystery Gifts, times 12
My gifty assembly line has been banging 'em out this week. Admittedly, I've only completed 7 out of 12 of these little items. My goal was to have 10 of 12 done by now. But it's not like I've just been sitting around reading crazy-hilarious giveaway comments (well, okay, I've been doing a little of that). So I'm okay with my progress here.
Quilt-along quilts
My Urban Lattice and That Girl quilt-along quilts are getting really sad and lonely. I've promised I will pay more attention to them next week. Hopefully they won't start acting out and smoking cigarettes in the mall parking lot while I'm busy lavishing attention on their cute, scrappy younger siblings up there.
Miscellaneous Other
Four different versions of family photo calendars for various relatives: Check. Christmas shopping: Check. Christmas cards: Totally almost checked. Top-to-bottom reorganization of sewing room (great timing, right?): Check. More on my new and improved sewing space tomorrow.
Completed tops awaiting quilting:
Hope Valley quilt
Modern Meadow Baby Quilt
Fall Equinox (Fat Quarterly quilt-along quilt)
Still didn't do anything with these:
Yeah, let's not even go there. You know it's the same as last week.
This week's stats:
New projects - 0
Completed projects - 0
Currently in progress - 8 (same as last week)

A public hearing will be held in the Millsboro Fire Hall at 6 p.m. Thursday for DNREC's proposed cleanup plan for a former coal ash disposal site on Burton Island at the confluence of Indian River and Island Creek.
The 144-acre site is a part of the Indian River Generating Station property currently owned by NRG Energy affiliate Indian River Power LLC.
The property was previously owned by Delmarva Power & Light Co., which used the land as a coal ash landfill from 1957 to 1979.
That ash disposal caused soil, groundwater, pond water and pond sediment to become contaminated with metals, including arsenic, barium, mercury, selenium and thallium, according to DNREC, which says the contamination poses risk to aquatic and terrestrial wildlife.
DNREC is proposing to use grading and vegetation to stabilize slopes and control erosion inside of the former landfill's footprint. The project also would include perimeter controls to limit trespassing, a long-term stewardship plan and limits on future land use.
A copy of DNREC's proposed plan can be found at the Millsboro Public Library and at www.dnrec.delaware.gov/whs/awm/SIRB/Pages/SIRBPlans.aspx.
