Several recent reports have repeated misconceptions about the project.
Claim: The project is over budget.
The state's maximum costs for the entire 35-year life of the agreement have been known since 2010, when the project agreement was approved and signed.
The state will only begin payment on the courthouse when it is finished and occupied. The private project company assumes all risks for any cost overruns during construction, but so far the project is actually running slightly under budget (and ahead of schedule). Change orders have been minimal, approximately 1 percent of the construction budget, which is well within the agreement's allowances for changes, and the operational impacts of these changes are known today.
The state's actual annual fee will depend on how well the building is run. The state will deduct for any outage or failure that affects building operations. The maximum costs included estimates for inflation, but actual inflation could be less, and inflation affects less than a third of the service payment. These are actually two of the benefits of the performance-based infrastructure delivery method: predictable costs and a performance guarantee.
Claim: The Legislative Analyst's Office (LAO) concluded that the state paid $160 million too much for the building.
Not accurate. The LAO report focused on the state's practices in selecting and evaluating these kinds of projects. It looked specifically at the value-for-money analysis, which was used, among other criteria, to evaluate different procurement models before the state committed to the project. The value-for-money analysis underwent rigorous and regular reviews by the state Department of Finance—pursuant to the authorizing legislation—before the project was approved.
Years after the project was approved, the LAO took issue with some of the underlying assumptions of the analysis and asserted that changing those assumptions could have changed the result of the analysis "by as much as $160 million in net present value terms."
The LAO's assessment is theoretical only; it is not an evaluation of the project's actual costs. In the same report, the LAO took similar issue with a Caltrans value-for-money analysis, indicating that the state is just starting to gain experience evaluating these kinds of projects. The Judicial Council maintains that the Long Beach analysis followed best industry practices and proved the project's value for the state. Council staff believes it is premature to evaluate the project's actual costs and intends to do a full analysis after the court has occupied the building for a couple of years. More information
Claim: The courthouse will cost the state $2.3 billion.
This statement mischaracterizes the project's cost, for three reasons:
Claim: The private partner bears no risk in this arrangement.
Inaccurate. Under the project agreement, the private project company bears significant design, construction, and operating risk. The private company must cover all risks related to design and construction–such as any additional work needed to pass building code agency reviews and receive permits, any costs related to construction delays, and even latent defects in the architectural or engineering design. As noted before, the project agreement includes a performance guarantee for the entire 35 years: deductions will be made when court spaces are unavailable or specified operational performance standards are not met.

TFD firefighters excited about new truck
Published: Tuesday, November 20, 2012 at 10:00 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, November 20, 2012 at 10:00 a.m.
Firefighters at Thomasville Fire Department's Station No. 4 will soon have a new tool for fighting fires.
A new 2012 custom fire truck built in Meyersdale, Pa., is slated to be placed in service Monday. The truck, which cost $417,799, replaces a 1982 Mack fire truck.
The new truck will serve as a pumper. The custom truck has a 1,000-gallon water tank (the Mack truck held 500 gallons) and can pump up to 1,500 gallons per minute.
"(Firefighters) are just really elated to have a new pumper," Thomasville Fire Chief Martin Dailey said. "They are really excited about it. They have been out training with it and getting used to it. We have had nothing but praise for it. We designed this truck to meet their needs."
The Mack truck had an open cab. The National Fire Protection Association has suggested fire stations have enclosed cabs for the protection of firefighters.
"It's very workable," Dailey said of the new truck. "Everything is really easy to get to — medical supplies, ladders and equipment is easily accessible. "
Dailey said the pumper is used for fire suppression. He said the truck will be a "lifeline for the firefighters."
"This (custom truck) will get a lot of work," the fire chief said.
Dailey said the last new truck Thomasville Fire Department purchased was in 2004. Thomasville firefighters also had a hand in setting the specifications as well. Dailey said the cost of new fire trucks has increased as the truck purchased in 2004 went for about $270,000.
With the custom truck replacing the old Mack, Capt. Don Crafford, who is assigned to Station No. 4, said the truck will benefit the citizens of Thomasville.
Bobby Moser, who will be one of the drivers of the truck, is a fire equipment operator at Station No. 4. He said the new pumper is "an amazing piece of equipment."
"It's going to be safer for the firefighters," he said. "It's more advanced, the technology is more advanced than the one that's been replaced."
Firefighters, Moser said, have placed equipment on the truck that makes it more user friendly for firefighters. He said the truck also has a new lighting system that will be beneficial at nighttime, at fires and at accidents. Moser also pointed out how the truck is automatic versus the Mack, which was straight gear.
"(Firefighters) take as much pride in this truck as if they purchase their own vehicle," he said.

Junior Shala Hodges netted 22 points and nailed a career-best six three-point field goals Thursday against UCF.
Feb. 23, 2012
East Carolina 65, UCF 50 | Post-Game Interviews
GREENVILLE, N.C. - Against a UCF team that has won two of the last three Conference USA Tournament titles and seems to always play its best basketball in late February, East Carolina turned the tables Thursday night, posting arguably its best effort of the campaign in a 65-50 triumph at Minges Coliseum.
With the victory, their third in the last four games which also avenged a 59-53 loss in Orlando earlier this season, the Pirates improve to 9-18 overall and 3-11 in C-USA play while the Knights fall to 12-14 and 7-7. Additionally, ECU pushed its 2011-12 home record to 8-5 - securing its ninth-straight winning season at Minges. The win also keeps UCF winless in seven visits to Greenville.
Junior Shala Hodges scorched the visitors to the tune of 22 points, including a career-best six three-point field goals, and added a 4-for-4 performance at the foul line, three steals, a block and an assist. Senior Chareya Smith increased her double-digit scoring streak to five games by netting 10 points and was the only other Pirate in double figures.
Also filling up the stat sheet was junior Celeste Stewart, who scored six points to go along with a personal best tying six rebounds, six assists and three steals. Although sophomore Kristine Mial failed to reach double figures offensively for the first time in four outings, she contributed in other ways by posting five rebounds, three assists, three steals and a blocked shot. Junior Britny Edwards recorded two of ECU's five blocks and is now just four away from tying Jean Best for 10th on the program's single-season top-10 list.
East Carolina did a much better defensive job on the Knights' key players, limiting forward Erika Jones to just two rebounds after she pulled down 20 in the teams' first meeting. The Pirates also kept dynamic point guard Aisha Patrick under wraps, allowing her just three first-half points although she eventually ended up with 11 in her 31 minutes of playing time.
ECU fired at a 42-percent clip from the field and limited UCF to a 33-percent showing, but the story continues to be East Carolina's recent prowess from long distance as the Pirates knocked down 10 of their 20 attempts from beyond the arc. The team has nailed 30 three-point field goals in its last three games and racked up six in Thursday's first half. ECU also continued its solid showing at the foul line in league play, knocking down 11 of 13 tries for a mark of 85 percent.
The Pirates forced the Knights into 22 turnovers, scoring 27 points off the miscues, and distributed 18 assists on their 22 made baskets. East Carolina also ratcheted up the defensive pressure, grabbing 13 steals - the most for the squad since it plucked 17 against Lafayette on Dec. 29.
UCF started the contest strong, hitting the first two field goals to push in front 4-0, but the Pirates responded in a strong way and produced a 15-2 run which was capped off by an Edwards jumper to make the score 15-6 at the 11:48 mark. Kayli Keough would help the Knights whittle their deficit down to four at 17-13 with two free throws. However, Hodges dropped in back-to-back-to-back three-pointers to give ECU is largest cushion of the first half, 26-13, with four and a half minutes left in the half.
An fall-away trey by Leo Montalvo as the clock ticked down to 1:23 sliced the Pirate lead to single digits at 28-20, but Edwards popped in a mid-range jumper as time expired to afford East Carolina a 10-point advantage heading into the break.
Hodges' nine points led all scorers in the first 20 minutes while Stewart and Tatiana Chapple corralled three rebounds apiece. Keough would pace the visitors with five rebounds and four points. ECU held UCF to just six field goals and 26-percent shooting to offset a 19-14 margin for the Knights on the glass.
Janesha Ebron stretched the Pirate lead to 32-20 as she put in the first two points of the second stanza via a pair of free throws. Then, after Keough responded with a jumper, Hodges went to work and netted five-straight points to put even more room between the teams.
A layup by Patrick kept UCF within striking distance at 37-24 with 14:27 remaining on the clock and the Knights would continue to push, cutting the East Carolina cushion down to 12 on a Jones jumper. However, as she did all evening, Hodges responded with a big triple, stopping the UCF rally cold and making the score 48-33 at the 11:34 mark. That moment proved to be a decisive one as the Pirates put away the visitors with an 8-2 run which was capped off by two Chareya Smith free throws and extended the ECU lead to 21 points.
The Knights produced one last run to draw within 15 points while holding East Carolina to just two points in the final five minutes of the game, but the Pirates' advantage was far too much for the visitors to overcome.
Having won three of its last four contests, ECU travels to Huntington Sunday Feb. 26 for its final regular season road outing in a matchup with Marshall. Tipoff between the Pirates and Thundering Herd is slated for 1 p.m. at the Cam Henderson Center.

It's been said that hemlines rise and fall with the economy, and my grandmother certainly thought so. She made an annual pilgrimage to a seamstress to have her skirts taken up or let down depending on the mood that year. (With today's plunging market, perhaps the right hem is asymmetrical.) But the thriftiness of Granny's approach intrigues me. What to do when you crave something new but don't want to spend tons of money? Get creative.The black dress on this page is one of about six I wore in the early 1990s — I thought the look was slimming and chic (then). I saved this one because it was a designer piece (Dries Van Noten) in a cut that flattered me. I pulled it from the back of my closet recently and wondered if it could become exciting again. Donna Darnall, a New York City-based tailor, agreed that the frock had potential. It was a simple cut, sans pleating, embellishment, or layers, any of which can complicate alterations. "The proportions were right," Darnall says. "The shoulders and waist hit where they should." The result of her scissor surgery: a dress I can wear day or night, and accessorize in a thousand different ways. After this first success, I wanted more. At inexpensive retailer H&M I found a serviceable gray suit for Darnall to jazz up. I bought it big — Darnall says start with more volume so you have fabric to work with — but I knew the wide-leg pants and shrunken jacket would complement my frame. Then Darnall went to work: Pants were taken in, shortened and fitted with wide cuffs; sleeves were tapered to create a slimmer silhouette; buttons swapped; trim added. Voila! Darnall's styling oomph turned a just-okay suit into a one-of-a-kind creation.I have officially embraced tailoring. In the past few weeks I've taken shoulder pads out of 1980s jackets, added jeweled buttons to a basic black coat, and removed long, puffy sleeves from a red dress (instant sleek sheath). Of course, your tailor has to be good. Try your local dry cleaner, but also ask for a referral from an upscale clothing store or the concierge at a nice hotel.Originally published in MORE magazine, May 2009.
In Tailoring We Trust
It doesn't take a fairy godmother to transform your wardrobe. Fashion insiders know that a few clever alterations can turn an old dress into something current and upgrade an inexpensive suit. Here's how.

An old man is dying. When the old man is dead, they will come for him. And they will come for her, to make him hurt.
John Hart has written three New York Times best sellers and won an unprecedented two back-to-back Edgar Awards. His books have been called "masterful" (Jeffery Deaver) and "gripping" (People) with "Grisham-style intrigue and Turow-style brooding" (The New York Times). Now he delivers his fourth novel—a gut-wrenching, heart-stopping thriller no listener will soon forget.
He would go to Hell....
At the Iron Mountain Home for Boys, there was nothing but time. Time to burn and time to kill, time for two young orphans to learn that life isn't won without a fight. Julian survives only because his older brother, Michael, is fearless and fiercely protective. When tensions boil over and a boy is brutally killed, there is only one sacrifice left for Michael to make: He flees the orphanage and takes the blame with him.
To keep her safe....
For two decades, Michael has been an enforcer in New York's world of organized crime, a prince of the streets so widely feared he rarely has to kill anymore. But the life he's fought to build unravels when he meets Elena, a beautiful innocent who teaches him the meaning and power of love. He wants a fresh start with her, the chance to start a family like the one he and Julian never had. But someone else is holding the strings. And escape is not that easy.
Go to Hell and come back burning....
The mob boss who gave Michael his blessing to begin anew is dying, and his son is intent on making Michael pay for his betrayal. Determined to protect the ones he loves, Michael spirits Elena—who knows nothing of his past crimes, or the peril he's laid at her door— back to North Carolina, to the place he was born and the brother he lost so long ago. There, he will encounter a whole new level of danger, a thicket of deceit and violence that leads inexorably to the one place he's been running from his whole life: Iron House.
©2011 John Hart (P)2011 Macmillan Audio
Lover of good cops and robbers books, Anne Tyler, Robert Parker, Dennis Lehane, James Lee Burke.
I was so looking forward to the next Hart book. I loved King of Lies, The Last Child, and Down River. Just loved them. I almost gave up on this book, however, because the first half is excruciatingly slow and the Elena character is so whiny and insipid. The narrator slips between an Italian and Spanish accent and reads her half-speed like she's loaded all the time. The relationship between her and Michael is about as interesting as dust. HOWEVER, everything is kicked up to high gear in the second half of the book where Elena is a minor character. Hart doesn't do violence as well as Adrian McKinty but it's still horrific. There are a lot of threads to the story which can be confusing and leaves the reader wondering why they are part of the story, but it all comes together in the end. This book is nowhere near as good as the others and there are a few stereotypes, as a southerner, I get tired of reading, but I guess I'd have to say I'd recommend this book...the second half did keep me up til two a.m.
"Narrator and Author a Good Team"
Although the plot has some rough spots, this book is a good example of how putting the right narrator with the right author can help compensate for weak points. Scott Sowers has an incredible range of voices that makes the characters come alive. Hart does a nice job of creating the backstories for the characters so that their actions are credible. Some plot points are a stretch, but the story works in the end. Overall, a good audio book that moves along smoothly.
Seeking the Truth
"Stilted and Clichéd"
While the plot is just okay -- not great but okay -- most of the characters in this novel, including the "hero", are quite stilted and very clichéd. It difficult to truly care what happens to anyone in this story, including those for whom we are to feel much sympathy or empathy. Do not use your credits on this book; wait until it's included in one of Audible's "paperback sales". Even then, you may not feel you got your money's worth..
"Wow! What a Listen!"
I have listened to John Hart and Scott Sowers in the past and enjoyed the collaboration. This time my expectations were truly surpassed with the performance of them both. I didn't want it to end and I would welcome the return of any characters that made it out of this book alive to return for the sequel. This story was so exciting and the characters so complex...that I didn't know who to like or who to despise. Nothing is clear cut in this one. And it works!
"Great "Read""
This book was very exciting and I found myself up at all hours listening to it. Thank God for the mobile app! I don't read a lot of books in this genre (I'm all over the place), but thought it had excellent character development and it really kept me guessing throughout. I look forward to more work from this author.
I used to carry around stacks of audiobooks on casette, then on cd. Audible is the best thing since sliced bread!
"Great Book!"
This is the first book by John Hart that I have listened to and I loved it! I was invested in the characters and really cared what happened to them. I dont feel that the book was slow in any part- I was riveted from begining to end, and the action sequences really had my heart pounding. The short author interview at the end is a great touch. After finishing, I immediately put his other titles on my wish list. You won't regret spending a credit for this one!
"That was good."
No book is perfect but when I was finished listening, I said, "That was good".
Enough said.
"extremely dark harted"
John Hart is an excellent and often poetic writer with a beautiful turn of phrase.The story itself was very dark and covered topics such as extreme bullying, child abuse, and torture.The tory held together but the darkness of the characters particularly the lead one, Michael made this an extreme departure from his other books.Michael is a mob enforcer an hit man who has killed many people. In the beginning of the book he tries to retire. This sets off a whole series of events involving Michael, his pregnant girl friend, and his brother.Mr Hart has tried to make Michael a likeable and sympathetic character and has only partially suceeded. He explains the things that made michael what he is.It was Michael's lack of remorse for the deaths that he casued of any ill gotten gains that ultimately ruined him as a character for me. It was hard to be too sympathetic toward him. I thought had he shown remorse it would have been much better.Abigail is also a comples and ultimately strange character
Changed the ending. There were at least two lead characters who should not have been free at the end. Michael as I have said needed to show remorse.
everything. He is excellent.
yes, but very unlike John Hart's other books, For all of its faults it was impossible to stop listening to.
Not for anyone who likes a tidy ending and ultimate justice.
"5 Star"
Very well written book. You could tell the writer had authentic knowledge of the fictional settings. I also liked the multiple plots that tie in to one another. If John Hart is reading this, Your Friend Clint Robins, referred me to the book and it far exceeded expectations.
"Exciting and Suspenseful - just what you want!"
John Hart scores again with another terrific literary fiction mystery. His well drawn characters and creative story kept me listening as much as possible. Parts of the book are very violent, more so than his previous novels. BUT, I must say those scenes kept me riveted and drew such a picture in my mind that brought the story alive. This book definitely requires some willing suspension of disbelief, but, hey, don't they all? If you are looking for a high quality, suspenseful book to listen to while driving, Iron House is a good choice.

All things Mother Earth Living
by Robyn Griggs Lawrence, Editor at Large
wabi-sabi, Wabi-Sabi Wednesday, Simply Imperfect, tea
On Wabi-Sabi Wednesdays, I feature excerpts from my book, Simply Imperfect: Revisiting the Wabi-Sabi House, which was released last month.
Wabi-sabi's roots lie in Zen Buddhism, brought from China to Japan by 12th-century traveling monk Esai, who also picked up a few tea seeds while he was there. Zen, with its principles of "vast emptiness and nothing holy," stresses austerity, communion with nature, and reverence for everyday life and everyday mind as the path to enlightenment. Zen monks lived ascetic, often isolated, lives and sat for long periods of concentrated meditation. To help his fellow monks stay awake during these sessions, Eisai taught them how to process tea leaves into a hot drink. Tea had arrived in Japan.
Once it left the monk's hands, tea took on a life of its own. Around the 14th century, the ruling classes developed elaborate rituals that took place in large tea rooms built in a gaudy style known as shoin, with imported hanging scrolls and formally arranged tables for vases and incense burners. Tea practitioners proved their wealth and status through their collections of elegant tea utensils and lacquered serving ware during three-day weekends where up to 100 cups of tea--as well as food and sake--were served. All of the day's revered Tea masters pushed the opulent style, to the delight of Chinese merchants and importers.
In the 15th century, influential Tea master and Zen monk Murata Shuko began placing humble, understated utensils made by local artisans next to his finest Chinese porcelain. Saying "It is good to tie a praised horse to a straw-thatched house," he showed the consuming classes that marrying rough with brilliant made both more interesting, and the market for simple bamboo tea servers and hand-shaped tea bowls blossomed. Shuko's successor as Japan's elite Tea master, Jo-o, took his master's criticism for rarefied displays a step further by using everyday items such as the mentsu, a wooden pilgrim's eating bowl, as a waste-water container, and a Shigaraki onioke, a stoneware bucket used in silk dyeing, as a water jar. Jo-o also brought inexpensive unadorned celadon and peasant wares from nearby Korea into the tea room, making the once-uppercrust ceremony accessible to the middle classes.
Jo-o's disciple, Sen no Rikyu, is widely credited with creating the quiet, simple ceremony that made it possible for everyone—not just the wealthy—to practice Tea. In the 16th century, at the end of several centuries of war and an age of extravagant consumerism, Rikyu's Tea ceremony provided a simple, unpretentious oasis that society craved. He served tea in bowls made by anonymous Korean potters and indigenous Japanese craftsmen, and he commissioned pottery from the Raku family, in a style that endures to this day. Rikyu made some of his own utensils out of unlacquered bamboo (as common as crabgrass in Japan, but nowadays a Rikyu original is worth as much as a Leonardo da Vinci painting), and he arranged flowers simply and naturally in bamboo vases and common fishermen's baskets. His tiny Tea huts (one-and-a-half-tatami-mats, as opposed to the four-and-a-half- to eighteen-mat room norm), based on the traditional farmer's hut of rough mud walls, a thatched roof, and organically shaped exposed wood, included a low entryway that forced guests to bow and experience humility as they entered. Rikyu held Tea gatherings by dim sunlight, filtered through bamboo lattice screens, or moonlight.
For wealthy merchants and shoguns, this simple, unembellished atmosphere felt like the ultimate luxury—the epitome of high art. For peasants and commoners, it made the Art of Tea accessible. Through Rikyu's simple ceremony—known as wabichado (chado means "the way of Tea")—everyone, from warlord to peasant, could experience Tea. Wabisuki ("a taste for all things wabi") took hold of Japan and seeded a revolt against the ruling classes' gaud. Rikyu's "aesthetic of the people" made Tea available to even the everyday samurai, who had little in the way of material comforts. Preparing and serving the bitter green leaf became a means for ordinary people to escape for a moment and share a ritual. Tea ceremony became a venue for Japan's finest poets and artists and an important piece of most Zen Buddhists' practice. Wabichado endures in Japan to this day.

Device encryption helps protect your Windows 8.1 PC by encrypting your data—or "scrambling" it —to help keep it secure. Only someone with the right encryption key (like a password) can unscramble and read it. Device encryption helps block hackers from getting the files they need to steal your password. If your PC itself is lost or stolen, device encryption also helps keep other people from accessing your data by physically installing your locked drive in a different PC. Even if your PC is encrypted, you can still sign in to Windows and use your files as you normally would.
Device encryption is available in all Windows RT 8.1 PCs, and in Windows 8.1 PCs that support InstantGo. InstantGo allows your PC to wake up instantly from sleep with your apps and data up to date. For more details about whether you can use device encryption with your PC, check the info that came with your PC or go to the manufacturer's website.
You need to sign in to your PC with a Microsoft account with administrator permissions to use device encryption. For more info about administrator permissions, see Standard accounts versus administrator accounts. If you didn't sign in with a Microsoft account, or if you don't have a Microsoft account and want to get one, follow these steps.
Swipe in from the right edge of the screen, tap Settings, and then tap Change PC settings.(If you're using a mouse, point to the lower-right corner of the screen, move the mouse pointer up, click Settings, and then click Change PC settings.)
Tap or click Accounts, and then tap or click Switch to a Microsoft account.
If you're using a new PC with a fresh install of Windows RT 8.1, device encryption is turned on automatically when you sign in. Windows helps protect data on your PC and automatically uploads a recovery key to your Microsoft account online. This recovery key lets you sign in to your PC in case you're locked out.
However, if you've upgraded to Windows RT 8.1 from a previous version of Windows, you'll need to turn on device encryption manually.
Swipe in from the right edge of the screen, and then tap Search.(If you're using a mouse, point to the lower-right corner of the screen, move the mouse pointer up, and then click Search.)
In the Search box, enter encryption.
Tap or click Change device encryption settings, and follow the instructions.
You need a recovery key when your PC goes into recovery mode. There are a few reasons this might happen. For example, your organization might have a password security policy that locks your PC after a certain number of failed attempts to sign in. Your PC can also enter recovery mode if it encounters a hardware malfunction, or an unexpected configuration change that affects security. Requiring a recovery key helps make sure that only an authorized person can unlock your PC and restore access to your encrypted data.
For more info about the recovery key and how to get it, see Recovery keys: Frequently asked questions.
If you've signed in with a Microsoft account, protection is turned on for your PC and your recovery key is automatically backed up to your Microsoft account online. If you want to store another copy of the recovery key, you can print it or save it as a file.
In the Search box, enter device encryption.
Choose Back up your recovery key and follow the instructions.
Tap or click PC and devices, and then tap or click PC info.
The Device encryption section appears at the bottom of the PC info page.
Not all PCs are set up to let you change device encryption settings. To determine whether you can turn device encryption off on your PC, follow these steps.

levocarnitine - injection, Carnitor
GENERIC NAME: LEVOCARNITINE - INJECTION (lee-voh-KAR-nih-teen)
BRAND NAME(S): Carnitor
Medication Uses | How To Use | Side Effects | Precautions | Drug Interactions | Overdose | Notes | Missed Dose | Storage
USES: This medication is used to prevent and treat low blood levels of carnitine. Carnitine is a substance made in the body from meat and dairy products. It helps the body use certain chemicals (long-chain fatty acids) for energy and to keep you in good health. Low blood levels of carnitine may occur in people whose bodies cannot properly use carnitine from their diets, people on dialysis due to serious kidney disease, and people being treated with certain drugs (e.g., valproic acid, zidovudine). Carnitine levels that are too low can cause liver, heart, and muscle problems.The injectable form of this drug is recommended if you have serious kidney disease (e.g., ESRD/dialysis) because high doses of the form taken by mouth may increase the risk of serious side effects. Consult your doctor or pharmacist for details.

Lynn Haven - Nominated by one of her students, Mosley High School math and English teacher Brenda Peacock's entire third period rallied to make sure she was acknowledged for all of her hard work and dedication to her students.
With the many pressures of high school and other challenges teenagers face today, students say Brenda Peacock's classroom is a shelter from the storm. "She makes the class fun and exciting to come to," said Savannah Wilcox, the 11th grader who nominated her. "She gets our personality and she really helps us with different problems you know," said student Lauren MacWilliam. "She is very interested in the things you have to say and the things that you want to do in life," said student Nicholas Clark.
A teacher since 1981, "Mrs. P" has been teaching at Mosley since 1988. This semester it's Informal Geometry and English. It's her third period class who rallied to help her win the Golden Apple. "This is the first time I've had a class do that and I really feel appreciated," she said.
Her students say she is a very effective teacher. Many have seen their math grade improve dramatically. "Last year I was really bad at math and I had F's, straight F's on my report card. Now I have A's and B's on my report card," said Andrew Ehringer. "She is like the best math teacher I have ever had, she will take time out of her lunch, she will stay after school to explain stuff until you get it," said Cody Erickson.
"I enjoy helping kids and when that lightbulb goes on for them it's like yes, we celebrate," said Mrs. Peacock. "I love math now!" said Savannah. "It takes a very understanding and kind heart to be a teacher and Mrs. Peacock epitomizes that," said Principal Sandy Harrison.
Congratulations to Brenda Peacock. This week's Golden Apple award winning teacher.

Dockham should apologize
Published: Tuesday, May 7, 2013 at 12:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, May 6, 2013 at 12:02 p.m.
Editor: If Rep. Jerry Dockham behaved toward Cpl. Richard Necessary of the Winston-Salem Police Department as reported in The Dispatch on April 30, he should apologize immediately or resign. Getting yourself elected does not give you a pass to speed, then demand "Do you know who I am?" of the officer.
Any apology needs to be sincere and not something like "mistakes were made, remorse is felt." Time for a little show of humility, Jerry.

Car runs into Arby's in Lexington; restaurant evacuated
Published: Monday, November 26, 2012 at 11:50 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, November 26, 2012 at 1:50 p.m.
One woman was hospitalized Monday after her car crashed through the Arby's on North Main Street in Lexington.
Police and witnesses say the driver of a Toyota Camry appeared to be going through the drive-through lane about 11:30 a.m. when her car accelerated into a storage outbuilding behind the restaurant. The car then overcorrected to the left and crashed into the side of the restaurant.
About half of the car rested in the Arby's dining room after the crash. The restaurant sustained major damages.
The driver, who has not been identified, was removed from the car and placed on a stretcher wearing a neck brace. She was taken to Wake Forest Baptist Health — Lexington Medical Center, and the extent of her injuries was not clear.
Employees and customers were evacuated from the building shortly after the crash.
"You could actually feel the building shake, and you could hear all the glass shattering," said Nicole Hamilton, an Arby's cashier who was working inside the restaurant during the crash.
Hamilton, who was working the drive-through window, said she briefly spoke to the driver via the restaurant's intercom speaker before the collision. The woman simply said she had a coupon and then started driving around the building, Hamilton said.
"I looked out the window and saw her flying around," she said. "You could hear her hit the curb. It all happened really fast."
Hamilton said there were two people dining inside the restaurant during the crash. She said neither of them were hurt.
Lexington Police Department Lt. Tommy Hampton said the incident is under further investigation.
Fire and building inspectors will evaluate the restaurant for safety. The Arby's will remain closed until further notice.

Reviews for Corn Tortilla Chicken Lasagna
"My family loves mexican, so this is perfect!"
"This was good, but it took so long to make!"
"My 9 yr old felt that something was missing. My husband ate the serving on his plate and then made a ham sandwich. Picture looks great, but overall disappointing."
"I make lunch once a week for a group of 20 homeless people at a local church. I make the food at home and deliver/serve it. I'm always looking for new recipies for a crowd, and am so glad to have found this one. It was a huge hit. Everyone raved, including the staff. I used a mild salsa not knowing whether everyone would enjoy a more pungent one, and there was hot sauce on hand for people to season to their own taste. I followed as directed and they LOVED it. Thank you so much for this submission."
"After reading through the recipe and thinking about the ingredients, I thought "AHA!" this one is a keeper because it looks so adaptable. So, I followed the recipe with some changes: someone commented that their corn tortillas got soggy so I lightly sauteed room temperature corn tortillas on each side for 7-8 seconds in moderately hot vegetable oil and then blotted them well in paper towels - the oil became a barrier to leaking through. I used black beans by Bush instead of kidney beans and fresh salsa from my grocer's deli section. All in all it's a terrific recipe - so easy follow and so easy to change to your own tastes. I am definitely making this over and over again! Thank you Susan for sharing it!!!"

Roche and Caliper Life Sciences entered into a co-marketing agreement for the development and optimization of automated protocols for the NimbleGen SeqCap EZ library solution-based capture method for Caliper's Sciclone NGS Workstation. The aim is to simplify high-throughput targeted resequencing workflows by developing automated methods for sequencing library preparation and enrichment of target regions, quantification, and quality control.
"The continued exponential growth of sequencing throughput and the volume of samples to be analyzed has shifted the bottleneck to sample preparation and process control," points out Frank Pitzer, Ph.D., CEO of Roche NimbleGen. "By combining our solutions with Caliper's NGS workstation, the bottlenecks are eliminated, creating the capacity to analyze large cohorts and optimize research efforts."
Kevin Hrusovsky, president and CEO of Caliper, adds, "Caliper's Sciclone NGS Workstation significantly accelerates high-throughput sequencing sample preparation and enrichment for numerous sequencing chemistries and workflows. Together Caliper and Roche NimbleGen are developing targeted sequencing applications that enable studies that analyze variants across large populations to detect and better understand the causal agents of disease."

Jan. 23–26, Scera Center, Orem, ldsfilmfestival.org
Family-friendly: The LDS Film Festival doesn't cater only to Mormon audiences. Instead, it features family-friendly entries by local filmmakers.
The films: Of course, successful LDS-themed films, including Saints and Soldiers and The Errand of Angels, have gained major boosts by being in the fest. "But overall, it's just a great place to see a collection of films by great artists who are passionate about their craft," says submission coordinator Brandon Smith. Theaters fill up—so get tix early.
24 hours: The major highlight is the 24-Hour Filmmaking Marathon screenings, featuring films shot in one day by locals who, immediately before filming, were given a theme and object to include.
Celebs: The fest isn't know for big names, but it happens. The year before last, director Daryn Tufts showed his film, My Girlfriend Boyfriend, starring Alyssa Milano. At the very least, you won't have to carry around your stack of 8X10s.

I'd like to throw in my two cents on a vital topic: "Does It Ever Make Sense to Dip Into Your 401(k)?" The subject was recently addressed on the PBS NewsHour website by the show's business and economics correspondent, Paul Solman, who will soon begin answering Next Avenue readers' questions about personal finances and the economy. (Details below.)
In his "Making Sen$e" column, Solman focused on whether it's advisable to "pull money" from a retirement fund, like a 401(k), rather than going into credit-card debt. Solman's wisdom: Taking out a 401(k) loan to avoid deep credit-card debt absolutely makes sense, generally speaking.
His rationale, assuming your plan allows loans: When you borrow from your 401(k) — by law you can withdraw up to $50,000 or half the account's value, whichever is lower — you're paying the interest to yourself as you repay the loan. So, Solman says, the net cost is zero. (I have some views on this, below.)
I agree that taking out a 401(k) loan instead of running up a high-interest credit card can be a smart financial move. There's very little paperwork and you won't go through a credit check.
Indeed, 21 percent of all Americans with 401(k) plans (22 percent in their 50s) have taken out a loan, according to the Employee Benefit Research Institute. Minorities are nearly twice as likely to dip into their retirement accounts: The Ariel/Aon Hewitt study, "401(k) Plans in Living Color," found that 49 percent of African-Americans and 40 percent of Hispanics of all ages took 401(k) loans in 2010, compared with 26 percent of whites.

PCC in the News
News: Volleyball Upsets State No. 15 Ranked Cypress in 5-Game Thriller
Thula Parks and Nora To'omalatai were members of last year's Pasadena City College women's volleyball team, a squad that shared the South Coast Conference title and reached the third round of the South Region playoffs. So like successful returning sophomores often do, they seized the moment when their team faced its toughest challenge.
The pair put on an offensive and defensive clinic to rally the unranked Lancers from two games down to defeat state No. 15-ranked Cypress, 25-27, 21-25, 25-23, 25-12, 16-14, at Hutto-Patterson Gymnasium Wednesday night.
Parks pounded 25 kills and made 22 digs while To'omalatai nearly matched her with 25 kills and 21 digs (plus three aces) as PCC improved to 1-4. After the tough break when the team forfeited two opening-day wins due to a CCCAA by-law infraction, interim head coach Bill Sanchez can now enjoy his first "official" win in collegiate volleyball.
"Nora and Thula plugged away and do what they do," Sanchez said. "Our whole rotation hustled and didn't get down after mistakes. It's funny, we probably should have won all five sets, but you only need three to win. It was a great comeback and a big boost to team morale. Freshman middle blocker Kendra Logan made a huge difference too."
In the fifth set, PCC and Cypress (4-3 record) traded points and PCC led 14-12, but the Chargers would knot it at 14. Parks landed her sixth kill of the set for match point. Over the final three games, To'omalatai recorded 18 of her kills in just 27 attempts with only one error.
The Lancers led 15-11 in game 1 and 13-6 in game 2 only to lose them both. However, PCC bounced back strong. In games 4 and 5, the team's hitting percentage was .455 and .458, respectively.
Logan proved to be a force at the net as she finished with nine kills and six blocks (two solos). Sophomore setter Tiffany Roesler was busy with 63 assists and 12 digs. Freshman libero Saige Spence added 16 digs.
PCC beat Cypress less than a week after losing to the Chargers in four games at the El Camino College Classic tournament.
To'omalatai is seventh in the state in kills per game average among qualified players at 4.38 per set.
PCC faces another top-ranked team in Orange Coast College Friday in a rare 3 p.m. afternoon start at Hutto-Patterson Gym. OCC is rated No. 11 in this week's State Top 25. PCC rallied to defeat the Pirates last year in a five-game victory in the second round of regionals.

Setting SSL (Secure Socket Layer) in Tomcat is often a requirement, especially while developing secure web application, which requires access over https protocol. Since Tomcat web server doesn't provide SSL settings by default, you need to know how to configure SSL in tomcat, and even worse it varies between different tomcat versions. for Example SSL setup which works on tomcat 6, doesn't work as it is in tomcat 7. In this article we will see, how to configure tomcat for https in both tomcat 6 and 7. For those programmers who are not very familiar with SSL and https here is a quick overview of SSL, certificates and https, and I suggest reading that article to get better understanding of How SSL works and How websites are accessed security over internet.
Once we know ,what is SSL, https and Certificates we are ready to setup SSL and https in tomcat web server. As I explained you need to have some certificate (inside keystore) in tomcat/conf folder which tomcat will present, when a connection is made via https. If you use Spring security you can use some of test certificates present in there sample applications otherwise you need to generate by yourselves. You can request certificates from your windows support team or by using tools like IBM IkeyMan and keytool command to put them into truststore and keystore.
Once you have certificate ready, Open your server.xml from tomcat/conf folder and search for Connector which defines https, it may be commented ,better look for this string "Define a SSL HTTP/1.1 Connector on port 8443". Once found replace with following setup which is different for tomcat 6 and tomcat 7
SSL Configuration for Tomcat 6 :
<Connector protocol="org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11Protocol"
port="8443" minSpareThreads="5" maxSpareThreads="75"
enableLookups="true" disableUploadTimout="true"
acceptCount="100" maxThreads="200"
scheme="https" secure="true" SSLEnabled="true"
clientAuth="false" sslProtocol="TLS"
keystoreType="JKS" keystorePass="changeit" />
You also need to make one more configuration change for setting up SSLEngine="off" from "on" like in below text:
<Listener className="org.apache.catalina.core.AprLifecycleListener" SSLEngine="off" />
Look for this String on top of Server.xml
SSL Configuration for Tomcat 7
SSL Setup in Tomcat7 is relatively easy as compared to Tomcat7, as you only need to make one configuration change for replacing SSL Connector with following settings :
<Connector port="8443" protocol="HTTP/1.1" SSLEnabled="true"
maxThreads="150" scheme="https" secure="true"
clientAuth="false" sslProtocol="TLS"
keystoreType="JKS" keystorePass="changeit" />
Settings which may vary if you setup your own certificate is keystorFile which points to a keystore, which stores certificates, keyStoreType I am using "jks", which stands for "Java Key Store" and keystorepass, which is password for opening key store file. That's it now your tomcat 6 or tomcat 7 is ready to server https client. Though you may need to configure https for your web application ,if you not done already.
How to configure Java web application for https
If you want your J2EE web application to be accessed over SSL using https protocol, you can include following settings in application's web.xml :
This Security setting will enable HTTPS for all URL directed your application. you can also selective enable https settings for some URL by tweaking URL pattern. Since SSL requires encryption and decryption it can increase response time and if you not serving sensitive information than you only have SSL enable for login or any particular URL which requires sensitive data.

City of Boulder is killing Stazio races!
Submitted by Kris Thompson on
This just in..... Looks like the rental fees asked by the city are so high that it might not be worth it to have the races
DBC Events is regrettably canceling the March Criteriums at Stazio and trying to salvage the 2 April Road Races. The City of Boulder Parks and Rec Dept has new fees for using the streets around the softball complex. Each week they wanted us to pay $1150 in rent for the softball fields that we race around. The City of Boulder claims that they lose revenue by not being able to rent the fields when we are racing our bikes out there in March. Typically the money raised from Stazio allows us to pay for the road races in April. We are trying to salvage the April 20 road race in Superior by handing it off to another group ( yours ? ) . Boulder Roubaix is rescheduled for August 16th. We regret any problems our decision has caused the racing community,

A year ago the word was that the Parks and Rec department was going to take over the Stazio Crits. What happened.
The parks and Rec is short of cash and are sticking it to special users groups. For example. They charge the area Master's swimmers a fee to "join the gym" and then full "rental" of the pool. The swimmers end up paying for the same service twice.

E, I was simply pointing out that your opinion, while being factually incorrect, still highlighted rather well the frame of mind which has mired both sides of this 'gun debate' in America. In arguing over the ridiculous, Americans essentially are forgetting to have any meaningful sort of discussion (thus, the mire). And while you may remember poison, blades, etc, you are mistaken in thinking (then or now) that it was ever anything more substantial than hype or mild hysteria. Which happens, and is something we're generally all drawn into from time to time. But in this case I'm speaking with the benefits of hindsight and documentation at our disposal that show these things were largely invented/fictional and long since debunked as such.

Hi D. You are incorrect to think I inadvertently thought and wrote my opinion. That is my true opinion and you are welcome to use it as yours. I am not young and do have a pretty good memory yet.

Perhaps inadvertently, I think Early has a finger on the pulse of the thing. Razor blades and foodstuff tampering - like the "HIV pins" which scared people off from public phones a couple decades ago - are both examples of urban myth or overblown anomalies, largely the product of the media playing off people's boundless love of worry. School shootings, while horrific, are in and of themselves rare and unlikely. However, they condense and highlight broader flaws in the culture. Focusing entirely on any one particular element of these flaws has little chance of producing an effective or meaningful sort of improvement.

Lets just hope the criminals don't start to use poison like they did back in the 70-80's. Remember when people were dying from tampered food and medicine? If you forgot maybe you remember razor blades and poison for Halloween. In a contest of violence the most violent contender will surely win.

Sort of silly, BGDGI, when you consider Texas police are still looking for the person or persons who shot a lawyer right outside of a courthouse. Or that on 5 April an officer was shot and killed inside the Jackson, MS, police headquarters.
...which is not to in any way give your argument an undue sense of weight or practicability. Because following your line of thought, once every school was armed to the teeth these 'gunmen' would simply pick other non-armed targets. The cycle would continue until virtually everyone would be armed at all times. What you're suggesting as a solution to gun violence is a broken society which mirrors Mogadishu at its worst moments, or a bad day in the Lebanon. It's utter nonsense.

How many gunman would want to come in shooting at a fully armed school?
How many gunman have you see come in and start shooting up a police station.

And considering for a moment the general motivations for many (if not most) teachers, it is a terrible lot to expect of them their ability to shoot with intent to kill a student (i.e. child, gun or no), who they probably know and possibly know quite well. At least some of the time (more so than instances of vigilantism, in any case) these adults are able to talk the student down or otherwise prevent further carnage.
2 Agrees | 2 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Building on Heisenberg's comment, the dangers wouldn't necessarily be limited to an angry student's obtaining of a teacher/deputy/loosely-organised-citizen-soldier's weapon either; any number of accidents, misfortunes, or simple acts of negligence could result that would far outweigh any safety the weapons might be intended to provide. Plus it's an unreasonable assumption that most any of these lay figures would react appropriately in a worst-case scenario. Many ranking police officials have come forward in the past few months with the professional opinion that multiple armed persons in such a situation would unnecessarily complicate matters and possibly delay police response.

Weigh the options: How many school shootings have there been that we could reasonably expect to have been prevented by a teacher with a gun, versus how many school shootings could be caused by an angry student managing to get a hold of a teacher's gun.

This report summarizes the results of an ambitious three-year ethnographic study, funded by the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, into how young people are living and learning with new media in varied settings—at home, in after school programs, and in online spaces. It offers a condensed version of a longer treatment provided in the book Hanging Out, Messing Around, and Geeking Out (MIT Press, 2009). The authors present empirical data on new media in the lives of American youth in order to reflect upon the relationship between new media and learning.

:* Get ready.
I don't think I am, azn. I don't know...
I still think the word dick tease is cute and silly.
Back on topic:
How about several groups, each lead by a staff member or higher member (i.e. Devil)
I like the idea a lot
Staff make there own "guild" thread, and you fill out a form, and they can pass/fail your form. A staff member can be in anothers because I know Dogar and Tim will join together
Me and Dogar can't be in the same guild. It would fucking dominate all others to an unfair point.
"I'll go," said Chagataev. "But what will I do there? Build socialism?"
"What else?" said the secretary.
I don't know how long it's been since me and Dogar really went together and OWNED the forum. Probably not since last Decemberish and before then not since the summer. I am a JAUGERNAUT alone but when we are on fire together we are out of control monsters. It's a phenomenon many newbs have yet to experience.
"I'll go," said Chagataev. "But what will I do there? Build socialism?"
"What else?" said the secretary.
I wonder which guild i'll join.
Dogars of course
Lets set it up, it sounds awesome
but what will each guild represent?
honestly I think this idea isn't going to fly but there's no point in not trying
I dunno, the Snorlax guild sounds awesome.
jk. I'll join Dogars.
Guilds are just groups of people, who are against each other, i dunno, rep, post count, superiority on a board, etc
I know what a guild is - I didn't spend 5 years on Neopets for nothing. But usually guilds are formed of people with similar interests. I repeat, what would the individual guilds represent?
Whomever the starter would choose
My idea, each of the staff start off with a guild, you get to join them, Tim might have an asian girl lovers thing, Kg might have a ramen guild.
The home is for general chat for the people inside, and they can just talk to each other without anyone else having to see.
lesbian squad guild
I still haven't got an answer for joining that
Will we create this or not?
Why do people drop my name so randomly? :nigga:
