Operating levies for Highland Local Schools and Medina City Schools failed Tuesday night, leaving superintendents to emphasize the need
for a change in the way schools are funded.
In Medina, only 5,276 voters approved the 11.7-mill continuous levy; 9,554 were against it, according to unofficial results from the Medina County Board of Elections.
Without the levy, the district predicts a $13 million deficit in 2011 and a $32 million deficit by 2012.

Medina Superintendent Randy Stepp said the district will have to cut 145 positions, totaling approximately $9.5 million. Pay-to-participate fees at the high school will increase from $100 to $400, and performing arts fees also will rise. Transportation likely will revert to state minimums, which means no busing for high school students and all students who live within two miles of their school, he said.
The incremental levy would have added 3.9 mills a year over three years, generating approximately $4.6 million each of those years toward operating expenses. It would have cost the owner of a $100,000 house $120 the first year, $239 the second year and $359 the third year, Treasurer Wally Gordon has said.
In March 2008, a 6.9-mill levy for operating expenses also failed.
In Highland, the 7.9-mill, continuous operating levy was defeated 4,051 votes to 2,695 votes, according to unofficial results from the Board of Elections.
Superintendent Catherine Auckerman said the district will be forced to "cut several million dollars from our budget prior to the 2010-11 school year."
The last time Highland voters passed a new levy was in 1998. Since then, Auckerman said the district has seen an increase of 1,000 students, a new high school and elementary school and a reduction in state funding.
"In Highland, 70 percent of our general fund revenue comes from local and 30 percent comes from the state," Auckerman said. "The district has not replenished the local share of that for 11 years. … We're literally operating the district on 1998 dollars for a lion's share of our operating funds."
The Highland levy would have cost homeowners $248.85 per $100,000 of appraised property valuation, according to the Medina County Auditor's Office.
Auckerman and Stepp said the levy failures provide evidence that school funding needs to change.
"We've been talking in the school district for a long time that the current … industrial-age model for educating isn't the model of the future, and we have been looking for ways to change the model and do things differently," Stepp said. "One is to better educate our students; number two is to be more cost-effective."
Auckerman agreed.
"The funding system in Ohio is predicated on a partnership between the state and local community … although Highland has not asked for new operating money from voters since 1998, other districts are forced to continually return to their local communities, asking for support of tax issues, and the result is ultimately division," she said.
"What this is going to challenge me to do is get that model in place sooner than later," Stepp said.

Well you'd better have dust shrouds on your tools; otherwise, you won't have anything to connect to. Here are a couple of shroud-equipped tools from DeWalt.
These particular models are grinders that are set up to grind concrete. The shrouds are pretty nice in that there's a positive connection to the hose and they can be adjusted or opened so you can grind into corners. Here's the vacuum the guy in the video was using them with.
You could probably use these tools to grind metal but you'd need to take steps to avoid starting the vacuum on fire — like using an inline spark arrestor or putting some water in the bottom of an empty vacuum's tank and collecting without a bag. You would definitely not want to suck sparks into a tank that had any kind of sawdust or flammable material inside.

Noetic Science - The Mind-Body Medicine
by Dr. Enozia Vakil on October 13, 2012 at 11:29 AM Health In Focus - G J E 4
Noetic science or Noetic theory is a fast-emerging field of science making major breakthroughs in mind-body medicine. The word 'noetic' comes from the Greek word noe'sis meaning 'inner wisdom'. Noetic science is a branch of alternative medicine that deals with healing the body and bringing about homeostasis with the power of the mind. It is the next big thing in the field of research and introductory medicine, and is now gaining importance in many parts of the world.
The human mind is an extraordinary organ, and has the capability to reach unimaginable feats, and this fact was understood by our ancestors as well. For example, it is amazing how Sir Isaac Newton, considered just an average student in school, was able to accomplish and understand such complicated theories of physics.
AdvertisementThe placebo effect, which is of great use in the health industry, is yet another example of the hidden potential of the human brain. Physical and mental pain can both be effectively reduced by learning to calm and compel the mind, and make it believe that there's no pain.
Noetic sciences strive to bring light to these and many other factors of the mind that may prove to be beneficial to the mankind globally though like any other major form of alternative medicine, Noetic sciences have faced their share of criticism and controversies due to lack of enough evidence to support their effectiveness as a form of medicine.
Most traditional systems of medicine, including Ayurveda, treat diseases taking into consideration the complex mind-body relationship. In view of this, scientists have developed a new discipline of medicine called psychoneuroimmunology (PNI) which deals with the relationship between psychological, behavioral, immune and nervous system functioning.
Noetic science, or the science of consciousness, is the next step that includes physics (quantum computing) as well. It goes beyond PNI and views energy as the underlying pattern of the universe. The mind-body healing in Noetic theory is based on the fact that there is an unimaginable amount of power in the human mind, and that every material thing existing around a human mind is the result of a mere thought or conscious awareness whereby intentionality, consciousness and universal energy field cause potential healing.
The law of attraction, popularly depicted through the movie 'The Secret', works hand in hand with this belief. Positive thoughts are believed to be powerful enough to encourage their materialization in the plane of consciousness around. Extensive studies conducted on this fact have proven that a single thought actually has a particular weight!
In the US, and other countries, researches carried out have shown that thoughts can actually affect the direction in which plants grow, the shape in which the bacteria on a culture plate grow, and stimulate healing of damaged cells.
Extraordinary feats are expected to be accomplished in the next few years in the field of Noetic science, and maybe, in the very near future, we may be able to heal cancer just by the power of 'thought'.

Matt Gardner Named Tech Baseball Volunteer Coach
Gardner played one year for Coach Tadlock at Grayson County College in 2004-05
Aug 27, 2013
LUBBOCK, Texas - Texas Tech head baseball coach Tim Tadlock completed his coaching staff for the 2013-14 year on Tuesday with the addition of Matt Gardner as volunteer assistant coach.
Gardner, 28, will assist with the Tech pitchers, catchers and will serve as the team's outfield instructor.
"We are ecstatic to have Matt join our coaching staff," Tadlock said. "When talking about Matt, character, loyalty, experience in the Big 12 as a coach and as a Friday-night starter for three years, being a former catcher and tutoring the Cape Cod League Pitcher of the Year all come to mind.
"Matt comes from a great family. His father, Rodney, is a great baseball guy and Matt has been a Red Raider since his childhood while growing up in Lubbock. The list could go on and on, but when it comes down to it, Matt is a great person and has earned everything he has gotten during his lifetime. He is quickly becoming one of the better young pitching coaches around at any level."
Gardner, who began his collegiate playing career for Tim Tadlock at Grayson County College in 2004-05, spent the previous two seasons as pitching coach at Lubbock Christian University (2012-13) following three seasons as a graduate assistant coach (2009) and volunteer assistant (2010-11) at his alma mater, Oklahoma State.
"I am very fortunate to join Tim and his staff," Gardner said. "I have always had a tremendous amount of respect for Tim as a baseball coach but even more as a person. I was lucky enough to play for Tim in junior college and have been able to learn a great deal from him throughout the years about the game of baseball.
"I have always been a Red Raider fan growing up in this area. Now, being able to be a part of this program and work with this staff is a very exciting opportunity."
Just before arriving at Tech, Gardner was the pitching coach for the Chatham Anglers in the Cape Cod League during the summer of 2013. He helped lead the Anglers to the President's Trophy, awarded annually to the team with the best overall record (26-17). During his summer in the Cape, Gardner coached Red Raider outfielder Brett Bell, catcher Hunter Redman and right-handed pitcher Dominic Moreno.
He helped guide the Anglers to the Cape Cod League Eastern Division title while working with a pitching staff that tallied 332 strikeouts - ranking second in the league - which was anchored by the Cape Cod League's Most Outstanding Pitcher, right-handed pitcher Lukas Schiraldi. Also on his pitching staff was right-handed pitcher Tommy Lawrence, who was awarded the league's John Claffey Award, which is given to the top Cape Cod League Prospect from New England.
Gardner's pitching staff posted a 3.33 ERA - the Anglers' lowest team ERA since 2010 - while eight of his pitchers posted an ERA under 2.00. Schiraldi led the league with a 1.20 ERA in seven starts going 4-1 with 37.2 innings pitched with 27 strikeouts and 10 walks allowed. Lawrence went 3-0 with a 1.60 ERA with eight appearances (5 starts) with 33.2 innings pitched, 29 strikeouts and just three walks allowed.
In addition, Anglers long-time manager, John Schiffner, was awarded Cape Cod League Coach of the Year honors for just the second time during his 20-year career in the Cape.
During Gardner's final season at LCU in 2013, the Chaps finished the season 44-17 overall and received a national ranking as high as No. 4 in the country while he led a pitching staff that broke a school record with three Major League Baseball First-Year Players Draft selections.
Gardner's pitching staff ranked in the top 25 in the nation in strikeouts in back-to-back seasons at LCU while his top pitcher in 2012, Tyler Rogers, ranked third in the country with 122 strikeouts and his ace pitcher in 2013, Derek Loera, a 28th round draft pick, was 18th in NAIA with 10 wins and 19th in the nation with 89 strikeouts.
During his two campaigns at LCU the Chaps won 79 games, had 12 All-Sooner Athletic Conference selections and six NAIA All-America selections. LCU received a national ranking during every week of the season during Gardner's two seasons with eight rankings inside the top 10 in the nation.
While at Oklahoma State, Gardner assisted then-head coach Frank Anderson with the pitching duties during the 2010-11 seasons and worked with the team's catchers as a graduate assistant coach in 2009.
Gardner's final season at OSU in 2011, the Cowboys pitching staff recorded a 3.79 ERA - the program's lowest team ERA in 36 years (since 1974). During his first season assisting with the pitching staff, Oklahoma State ranked fifth in the nation averaging 8.9 strikeouts per nine innings.
OSU advanced to a pair of NCAA Regionals during Gardner's time on the coaching staff with an appearance at the 2009 Clemson Regional (2-2 record) and advancing to the 2011 Nashville Regional. The Cowboys posted a 98-75 overall record from 2009-11.
Gardner coached 21 MLB draft picks at Oklahoma State - 10 of which were pitchers while five OSU players were selected in the top-10 rounds of the MLB Draft.
In addition to coaching over 20 draft picks at his alma mater, Gardner mentored 18 All-Big 12 selections, 21 Academic All-Big 12 honorees, two Big 12 Pitchers of the Week and one All-American.
Gardner's coaching career also includes a pair of assistant coaching stints at the junior college level while coaching the fall of 2009 at Ranger College and the fall of 2010 at Midland College.
A Friday-night starter at Oklahoma State for two seasons, Gardner was an All-Big 12 selection and Academic All-Big 12 award winner during his three-year career (2006-08) as a student-athlete with a 16-6 career record with a 4.89 ERA with 39 appearances, 30 starts, two complete games, 173.0 innings pitched and 108 strikeouts with 40 walks in three seasons (2006-08) as a Cowboy.
He helped lead OSU to three consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances, which included a trip to an NCAA Super Regional in 2007. Gardner and the Cowboys captured three straight 40-win seasons, something that hadn't been accomplished in Stillwater since 1997-99.
Twice he was named OSU's Opening Day starter during his sophomore and junior seasons.
He was named to the 2006 NCAA Fayetteville Regional All-Tournament team while recording a 7-3 record with 18 appearances, 10 starts, 83.1 innings pitched and 51 strikeouts. Also in 2006, Gardner ranked fourth in the Big 12 in complete games (2) and fifth in the league in wins (5) during Big 12 play.
His junior season the Cowboys advanced to the NCAA Louisville Super Regional after going 3-0 and winning the Fayetteville Regional. His senior campaign the Cowboys finished their season hosting a regional in Stillwater going 2-2 and finishing a game away from back-to-back Super Regional appearances.
His final season at OSU the Cowboys led the Big 12 with a 3.98 team ERA.
Gardner was a 32nd round MLB Draft pick in 2007 by the Los Angeles Dodgers following his junior season at OSU.
He began his collegiate career playing for Tadlock at Grayson County College in 2005 while helping the Vikings to a 45-13 overall record and to a conference championship while being named an NCAA Honorable Mention All-American.
He ranked eighth in the nation during his freshman year in wins going 10-1 with a 3.93 ERA in 73.1 innings with 62 strikeouts and 24 walks allowed. Gardner was also a catcher during his first college season batting .310 (40-for-129) with five home runs and 33 RBI.
He was a 48th round selection in the 2005 MLB Draft by the Seattle Mariners.
Gardner earned his bachelor's degree from Oklahoma State University with a degree in Education in 2008. He is originally from Andrews, Texas, graduating from Andrews High School in 2004.
Matt is the son of Rodney Gardner and Vickie Gardner, both graduates of Lubbock Christian University. His father, Rodney, was a 1975 All-American at LCU playing under former Tech head coach Larry Hays. Rodney went on to coach locally in Lubbock and also at Abernathy and Estacado High School. Gardner was born in Lubbock on November 2, 1984.

LOS ANGELES, CA (February 15, 2010)—As the one-month anniversary of the devastating earthquake that hit Haiti in January passes, Los Angeles-based International relief agency Operation USA announced today that its Haiti disaster relief efforts continue with additional shipments of essential medical aid, alongside the assessment of long-term recovery projects.
Operation USA estimates that it has sent over $3 million in donated medical, energy, food and shelter supplies to Haiti to date. With generous corporate support from Honeywell Hometown Solutions, United Airlines, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries America, Inc. and Ball Corporation, the agency has sent seven air shipments of relief supplies to Haiti in the past month, getting essential pharmaceuticals, medical, emergency and shelter supplies, generators and light towers, as well as medical personnel to partner agencies on the ground in Port-au-Prince, as well as the equally hard-hit city of Jacmel.
Three million water purification tablets are being readied for shipment for individual and family use. One million Vitamin A tablets have been ordered from a producer in Canada—a simple solution to fighting many childhood diseases. A donation of generators from Kubota Corporation is being delivered to partners on the ground in Port-au-Prince. A large-scale procurement of food, soap and utensils was made in the Dominican Republic and has been shipped to St. Damien's Pediatric Hospital/St. Luke's Schools for use within the large network they support. Two large donations of baby food are currently being processed in the U.S. Procurement is additionally underway for temporary housing items, including tents and prefab structures.
Long-term recovery projects are still being planned. Initial reports have identified the rebuilding of schools and clinics in Port-au-Prince and Jacmel as primary recovery projects to be undertaken. Projects will likely be funded in Grande-Goave and Petit-Goave as well. As implemented after the Asian Tsunami, Operation USA plans to give livelihood grants to local groups, individuals and families to re-establish themselves economically.
Donate online at www.opusa.org, by phone at 1.800.678.7255 or, by check made out to Operation USA, 3617 Hayden Ave, Suite A, Culver City, CA 90232.
Text "AID" to 50555 and donate $10 to OpUSA's Haiti relief efforts.
Air miles can also be donated to Operation USA through United Airlines Charity Miles program at www.united.com. Corporate donations of bulk quantities of disaster-appropriate supplies are also being requested.

Since 1979, the Los Angeles-based Operation USA has worked in over 99 countries, delivering over $350 million for relief and development projects.
Operation USA's immediate disaster response has focused on the most pressing medical needs due to the devastation of hospitals and medical facilities—facilitating the delivery of donated material aid supplies. Local partners in Haiti include St. Damien's Pediatric Hospital/St. Luke's Schools, L'Athletique d'Haiti, Partners in Health, International Medical Corps, The City of Jacmel and the Hands and Feet Project (Jacmel).

- Overview
- Parking sensors
- Self-parking systems
- Reversing cameras
As parking spaces get smaller and ever harder to find, the once-simple act of parking has become the bane of the modern motorist's life.
The average car is now longer, wider and taller than ever before, and those plunging, pedestrian-friendly bonnets and wide, safety-conscious roof pillars limit visibility.
Yes, alloy wheels and painted bumpers look much smarter, but scuff or dent them and your wallet will suffer the consequences.
With prices starting at just £30, it's therefore hardly surprising that parking sensors, rear-view cameras and automatic parking systems have taken off. These systems take the stress and guesswork out of parking and could potentially save you an expensive repair bill or insurance claim.
We rate every car's visibility. Sign up to Which? for just £1 for full access to all our car reviews
Ultrasonic sensors bounce sound waves off obstacles, using the 'echo' time to indicate how far away they are. A speaker in the car bleeps – increasingly frantically – as they get closer.
Electromagnetic parking sensors create an invisible electromagnetic field around the car's bumper; any objects entering it trigger a warning sound. Currently used by Audi, Citroën and Fiat, among others.

What is in this article?:
- Organic grains topic of North Carolina field day
- Interactive program
• Organic meat is in high demand these days and to produce it growers must use organic grains.
• Like other grains, demand for organic corn and soybeans by North Carolina livestock producers runs way ahead of supply.
• Two big problems limiting growth of organic grain production in the state are weeds and seeds.
More About:
Interactive program
Growers interested in growing organic soybeans and other organic grain crops will have an opportunity to ask specific questions and become an interactive part of the program, which gets under way at 10 a.m. at the Caswell Research Station, located at 2415 West Vernon Avenue in Kinston, N.C.
There is a $10 registration fee, which includes the cost of a noon-time barbecue lunch. Whether meat for the noon meal is organic or not will be revealed at the meeting.
Horton and North Carolina State Research Associate and Plant Breeder, George Place will start the meeting with a walking tour of organic research work at the Caswell Station. Stops during the tour will include a cultivation demonstration, soybean plant population study, seeding rates for organic grain crops, and a look at a no-till/roll-kill technique that has proven successful in helping some growers overcome weed problems in grain crops.
During the noontime barbecue lunch Horton will lead an informal discussion of marketing opportunities for North Carolina organic grain growers.
Following lunch attendees will get a chance to see how different corn and soybean varieties performed in North Carolina State's Official Variety Tests (OVT) program. North Carolina State Crop Breeders George Place, Tommy Carter and Major Goodman will discuss performance characteristics of various grain crop varieties at the Caswell Station.
To register for the meeting, or get more information, contact Lisa Forehand at 919-513-0954.
Attendees will qualify for 2.5 hours of Certified Crop Advisor CEU credit and 1.5 hours of Continuing Pesticide Certification Credit for subclasses N,O,D, X.

Fox Sports Australia has a new article online featuring quotes from Ryback and The Miz. Below is an excerpt:
Ryback on the injury that threatened his career:
"I took a drop kick and tore my ankle out in three places," Ryback told foxsports.com.au.
"I finished the match, running with my ankle dangling and it spiraled up and shattered my leg all the way up to my knee … I had three surgeries; I was out a year and told I would never wrestle again."
The Miz on no one liking him:
"From the fans to the locker room … coming in everybody thought I just got a contract because I was on The Real World but that wasn't the reason. But I wasn't one to say 'Hey I was on the indies for three years' because you don't go around saying that.
"My first or second year in WWE I got kicked out of the locker room and I would have to find a new place to change every time we were in a new arena. I remember one time I had to use the rest room so I had to go out to the fans corridor and use the rest room and little kids were like 'is that The Miz?'

We thought "love salt" was something that happens after boom-boom time on a hot summer afternoon. But Fig + Yarrow's Pink Love Salts ($32) are altogether different, and certainly more hygienic. They're made with naturally pink Himalayan mineral salts infused with a blend of soothing essential oils - patchouli, ylang-ylang, orange, and bergamot. Sprinkling them into your bath is a great way of saying "I love you" to yourself.

Three magistrates and four City Council members discussed the County's budget shortfall Wednesday afternoon in a closed-door meeting.
The meeting, which Campbellsville Mayor Brenda Allen says was called by Councilman David Nunery, was Wednesday at 3 p.m.
No notification of the meeting was given to the public or local media.
A Campbellsville resident has been charged with drug crimes in an indictment recently unsealed by a Taylor Circuit Court judge.
A grand jury may seal an indictment if there is a possibility that the accused will try to evade police.
Douglas D. Thompson, 36, of 203 Shady Lane was indicted on a charge of first-degree selling cocaine.
Bond was set at 10 percent of $15,000. If convicted, Thompson could be sentenced to as much as 10 years in prison.
u An indictment is a legal accusation only. It does not establish guilt.
A Campbellsville man is in critical condition following a single-vehicle crash Thursday.
According to a Taylor County Sheriff's Office report, David White, 20, was driving a 1989 Dodge Dakota south on Palestine Road at about 10:30 a.m. White's truck dropped off the road, he overcorrected, crossed the road and struck a tree. The truck hit the tree on the passenger side.
Better Business Bureau is warning the public to beware of letters supposedly from Publishers Clearing House that claim they have won a grand prize drawing of $1 million.
Despite how official the letters might look, the recipient is the target of a widespread scam that is seeing a sudden resurgence across the country, including in Kentucky and Indiana.
An increased prevalence of this scam comes on the heels of the actual Publisher's Clearing House awarding a New Jersey woman $5,000 a week for the rest of her life. Scammers often operate in the wake of newsworthy events.
A Campbellsville woman and her passenger were injured Friday in a two-vehicle crash.
According to a Campbellsville Police report, at 5:50 p.m., Ben Watson was driving a 1998 Toyota pickup west on U.S. 68 when he struck a 1995 Nissan in the rear. The collision occurred near the intersection of U.S. 68 and West Main Street.
The driver of the Nissan, Amy Fair, and an unnamed passenger were transported to Taylor Regional Hospital. Fair was treated and released.
The County has taken the first of two steps in breaking its occupational tax agreement with the City.
But before the Fiscal Court meets again Tuesday, April 14, a group of magistrates and Campbellsville City Council members are expected to meet and could come up with a different solution to solve the County's budget issues.
And that meeting could be closed to the public, which the News-Journal believes would be illegal.
A discussion of budgets is not a stated exception to the Kentucky Open Meetings and Records Law.
Taylor County High School's Show Choir will look to the past this weekend.
"Ovations!" is a celebration of the choir's annual spring musical, which began in 1993 with "I'm Sorry, the Bridge Is Out, You'll Have to Spend the Night."
According to Lisa Gupton, choral director, "Ovations!" features some of the more crowd-pleasing selections from spring performances past.
While there were several musicals and revues performed before 1993, the spring show became an annual event that year, Gupton said.
The regular City Council meeting set for Monday, April 6 has been rescheduled. The meeting has been moved to Monday, April 13 at 7 p.m. in the City Council room above Campbellsville Police Department. The meeting is open to the public.
The impact of Taylor Regional Hospital goes far beyond health care.
According to a Kentucky Hospital Association report, Taylor Regional Hospital has a local economic impact of $35 million.
The study, based on 2007 data, offers information on employment and salaries, as well as spending estimates. The report, said TRH Board of Trustees Secretary Laura Wilds, shows the hospital impacts far more than local residents' health.
"It makes me very proud of our hospital," Wilds said.
The Taylor Circuit Clerk's office, located at the Taylor County Courthouse, will be open Saturday from 8 a.m. to noon.
According to Taylor Circuit Clerk Rodney Burress, the office was originally scheduled to be open Saturday, April 11. However, due to the Easter holiday, the office will be open this Saturday instead.
For more information, contact Burress at 465-6686.

As part of his Six Sigma training, streets superintendent Bob Kennedy spent many hours charting where potholes occur, how long they take to fix, and how they're fixed. While the department was meeting its goal of 24-hour repairs 77% of the time, some repairs lingered much longer.
Last year, only one of 753 repairs exceeded the 24-hour goal. In addition to having supervisors pick up complaints three times a day, rather than once, the department bought lighting so second- and third-shift crews can work at night. The department also assigns dispatchers to repair potholes on weekends and holidays when regular crews aren't working, and assembles a special crew for repairs during leaf-collection season.
Employees are rewarded individually, and as a group, based on performance target averages set each year by a joint union-management committee. In 2002, each employee was awarded at least $200. In 2008, the productivity bonus for achieving the 3.5-hour repair goal ranges from $100 to $900. Similarly, wastewater treatment plant operators who pass the state licensing exam receive an extra 65 cents/hour.
Employees aren't the only ones involved in improving city services.
The city's solid-waste hauler was asked to help lower the number of missed pickups from 4900/year, a process that involved a team of two city employees and three employees of National Serv-All of Fort Wayne. Because National Serv-All had its own system for measuring customer satisfaction, it had to tweak its processes to collect data that the city could input into its Six Sigma framework. But since each missed pickup cost the company $80, it had an incentive to cooperate.
"We saw the need for improvement, and understood the goals, and it's worked very well," says municipal services manager Bob Young. "We do a better job of quantifying processes."
Missed garbage pickups fell from about 100/week to the current rate of about 70, a significant improvement considering that 6000 households have been added since the project began.
If he had to do it all over again, Meszaros says, he'd use Lean Six Sigma—a slimmed down version of the Six Sigma process—and work into the more complex version of the program.
So far, 39 employees have received a Six Sigma "Black Belt" designation, and 92 are "Green Belts." To ensure the department continues to apply process-improvement solutions, one employee is a certified Lean Six Sigma instructor.
Managers thinking of launching a quality-improvement program shouldn't expect results if they're going to just dabble in it. "You can't delegate this culture change," he says. "Do a comprehensive deployment, and implement it from the top down."

Money set aside for pay bump for Tosa mayor
Budget Committee creates leeway, calls for council discussion
Mayor Jill Didier can hardly recall attending a meeting with public officials from other communities in attendance where she didn't field questions about her pay.
They wonder why she would work long hours for an annual salary of $22,500.
"It comes up pretty much every meeting that I go to," she said. "People are shocked and awed by that."
Didier said she's kept quiet during past discussions about the mayoral salary to give the Common Council time for debate. The topic has come up several times in the past three years, but any change would not take affect until the next mayoral term begins in April 2012.
She encouraged the Budget Committee last week to determine what level of respect the mayor - and as a result the city - should have among elected peers as well as business contacts such as developers and business owners looking to work with Wauwatosa.
The committee in a 5-2 vote decided to put an additional $10,000 in the mayor's budget so funds would be available if the council decides to increase the mayoral wages in 2012.
Initially, Aldermen Peter Donegan and Dennis McBride advocated for an increase to a $30,000 salary. Then Aldermen Cheryl Berdan and Tim Hanson moved to increase that to $45,000.
No matter how long overdue or warranted doubling the salary would be, "politically it will be difficult to sell it to our constituents," McBride said.
On the other hand, Berdan said, there's a lot of time to make up for. The last time the mayor got a raise was 1984.
"It's an area we neglected," she said. "I think we need to make that much of a jump."
It became apparent that, as in past discussions about the mayor's salary, there was disagreement about what the salary should be.
Alderman Craig Wilson argued that this is a discussion best had by the entire council. He pushed for officials to look at the mayor's job duties and description and to determine a market value.
"There's more than should we just change the number," he said.
The council can define the mayor's job all it wants, but when it comes down to it, the mayor is accountable to constituents, Didier said.
"It's a role that really is defined by the campaign and what the constituency votes for," she said.
The committee recommended the entire council have a discussion about whether to increase the salary before the budget comes to a vote in mid-November. Keeping with that, McBride said he'd like to revisit a possible reduction in the number of council members, which could free up some money.
Mayoral mileage
Salary wasn't the only part of the mayoral compensation package on the table last week.
The Budget Committee unanimously voted to cut the 2012 car allowance by more than half, from the proposed $3,600 to $1,500.
Mayor Jill Didier suggested a reduction be made, saying she could be reimbursed for driving to meetings at which she represents the city. In 2010, she received $945 in mileage reimbursement.
Elected officials tend not to take full advantage of the reimbursement benefit, and using a car allowance instead of mileage reimbursement makes for easy recordkeeping, City Administrator James Archambo said.
Unlike a mayoral salary that can only be changed per four-year term, car allowance is a business expense that can be modified annually.

09.14.2009 / It is Time to Take on the Hokies. Posting By Greg Sharpe, Voice of the Huskers
We have reached the week that Husker fans have waited for all summer, the trip to Virginia Tech. After two convincing home wins, the 18th ranked Cornhuskers will get their chance to match up with another top 20 team in Virginia Tech, this Saturday.
I can't wait. This will be a good measuring stick for Nebraska. Last season the Hokies came to Lincoln and won 35-30 and oh how sweet it would be to pay back Virginia Tech on Saturday. This VA Tech team has a strong defense and a solid running game. They are also very sound in the kicking game, but last year it was Nebraska with Nate Swift returning a punt for a touchdown that helped the Huskers fight back in the game.
Here are a couple of things to keep an eye on this week.
Can Nebraska slow down VA Tech's running game? In the first two games the opponents have both rushed for over 100 yards. In order to win on the road NU will need to keep that number to around 100.
How will Zac Lee handle a raucous crowd? Everything is different on the road. Including having fans make noise when you're trying to call out formations and checks. We will learn a lot about Lee this Saturday.
Match the Hokies special teams. NU doesn't have to win this but play it to a draw. Don't allow a blocked kick or a big return.
This will be the first team that can match Nebraska's athletic ability. Playing on the road will also present challenges. What you'd really like is for NU to give themselves a chance going to the fourth quarter. If that happens the upset would be there for the taking. GO BIG RED!!!!

Most people spend months planning their wedding, but one local couple couldn't wait that long.
Nineteen-year-old Adam Hampton and 18-year-old Krystina Maxey were planning to get married next July.
Adam is in the Kentucky National Guard and on Oct. 1 he found out he was being sent to Iraq on Oct. 5.
So the couple decided to speed the wedding plans up a bit.
They said their vows at 6 p.m. Oct. 2.
"It's going to be more beautiful than I could have even thought or planned myself," bride Krystina Maxey assured.
This isn't how Krystina and Adam imagined their wedding day.
"We made a decision a long time ago that if he went to be deployed, we would get married before our actual date," she added.
Adam has less than a week before he leaves for Iraq.
"It's what I signed up for and to think that it wouldn't or it couldn't, that would be naive I guess," Adam said.
The two have been dating for about three years, but it only took them 24 hours to plan their dream wedding.
"I can't even begin to comprehend everything that's going on," Krystina said.
With the help of friends, family, and the community not one detail has been forgotten.
They're getting married at Covington Woods Park in Bowling Green, where Adam proposed.
"We're having a pot luck wedding, and everybody is going to bring in food and it's going to be a good time," Krystina continued.
She said it's a bittersweet day as well.
"I'm excited because of the wedding. I'm sad because he's leaving, and I'm very upset because he's leaving. I'm upset because my family can't be here," Krystina said.
Her mom will be her only family to share this special day.
"In commemoration of my grandma, we're going to have someone walk down the aisle with a pink rose and put it on her chair because she's my hero," Krystina added.
Though this is a happy beginning to a hard year a head of them, spent a part, they know this is right.
"It's going to work, it just is," Adam assured.
"We're both really supportive of each other, and that's really what's gotten me through everything," he added.
Krystina and Adam say they're very grateful for everyone's help in planning their wedding.
Several restaurants in Bowling Green donated food, and friends paid for the flowers.

There is nothing better than a recipe handed-down through generations standing the "test of time". Apples are at the core of health throughout the growing, harvesting and cooking process. Earnings from home-grown apples supported 'Heifer Project International', helping others to feed themselves via sustainable farming. This concept is in keeping with our Thanksgiving Day celebration as a symbolic reminder apples represent for both health and life.
Use your best judgment should you opt to use sweeteners and organic and/or locally grown produce. Misinformation can prove to be most dangerous. We currently have more information about what constitutes "healthy" food v. foods to avoid, and why. HFCS (high fructose corn syrup) was not as prevalent an ingredient as in recent years and still masquerades as "corn sugar", despite the FDA's rejection of the name. Genetically modified organisms or GMOs are more common while still little differentiation is made between "organic", "natural" and "locally grown" produce.
Instructions accompany the viewable list below.
Old-fashioned apple peeler
Pour 1 C. filtered water into a Crock Pot on low setting for all day or slow, overnight cooking, or on high for a couple of hours. Peel and core 12-15 quercetin rich apples of different varieties.
Variety of peeled and cored apples
Try a combination of local McIntosh, Jonathan, Cortland and Granny Smith; the same homegrown selection proven for a quintessential balance. This blend of firm textures, crisp flavors and a balance of sweet and tart complement the slow-cooked concoction, satisfying diabetic requirements.
Add spices to apples and simmer together
Additional anti-inflammatory ingredients include about ½ tsp. each: Penzey's "Cake Spice" with star anise, high-grade cinnamon for depth, dried orange peel for brightness and a generous grating of fresh nutmeg. Top it off with about a Tbsp. of raw organic sugar cane or agave syrup to sweeten. I ceremoniously add ½ C. of cinnamon red hot candies to the first batch of the season, in memory of my Mother.
Smooth and satisfying slow-cooked applesauce
Enjoy warm, for breakfast or as a side dish. This elementary process is a satisfying way to share food for the holidays and show you care.

Welcome to Indianapolis
The Circle City has it all. Take a look.
Standout buildings and places. Two downtown landmarks, Monument Circle and Indiana War Memorial Plaza, are among America's great urban spaces. The Circle centers the city and furnishes its "Circle City" calling card. The 24-acre plaza (think greenspace and monuments, like Washington, D.C.'s National Mall) gives Indy the distinction of devoting more acreage to honoring veterans than any other city; it's second to D.C. in number of war memorials. The plaza, a National Historic Landmark, represents one of our defining traits: serving the country. In the Civil War, 75 percent of eligible men from Indiana joined the Union army, second to Delaware in per-capita enlistment. And since then, Indiana's war casualties have numbered double the national average.
Innovation that attracts the eyes of the world. While famous for fast cars, our city is winning praise for reinventing the bicycle and pedestrian experience in a downtown, too. The Indianapolis Cultural Trail has been called "an astonishing and amazing vision" by national civic-development experts. And the art world was paying attention when the Indianapolis Museum of Art unveiled the largest contemporary-art park (100 Acres: The Virginia B. Fairbanks Art & Nature Park) in the country in June 2010.
Hidden gems where you least expect them. Stately on the outside, the Indiana War Memorial stuns visitors with its grandiose interior spaces.
A commitment to green. Indianapolis International Airport isn't just America's newest; it's also one of the world's most environmentally friendly. More than 90 percent of the materials used to build it came from within 500 miles.
Growth and prosperity. Compared to much of the Midwest, Indianapolis has a profile closer to the Sun Belt than to the Rust Belt. In contrast to many shrinking cities in the region, Indy is attracting people, with its population growing 50 percent faster than the national average. And the city is showing impressive gains in industries such as life sciences and technology.
A diverse population. With 40,000 foreign-born moving to Indianapolis since 2000, the city is adding international residents at a faster pace than even Chicago. Indy is now home to growing Mexican, Chinese, Sikh, Burmese and Nigerian communities.
A rich African-American legacy. A century ago, cosmetics entrepreneur Madam C.J. Walker of Indy made a name as the country's first female to become a self-made millionaire. The cultural district surrounding the Walker Theatre celebrates her accomplishments. And today, the Indiana Black Expo Summer Celebration is the largest cultural or ethnic event in the United States.
Distinct neighborhoods. With a diverse roster of residential areas, from downtown's quaint Lockerbie Square to its retro Fountain Square to funky Broad Ripple not far away, Indy feels like home.
Unique local cuisine. Farm-to-table is more of a philosophy than a trend here. Chefs at top independent restaurants have long partnered with Indiana farmers to bring the freshest ingredients to the menu. Indy's signature nosh, the breaded pork tenderloin sandwich, is often as big as the plate on which it's served.
Championship sports. Downtown boasts three remarkable pro-sports venues. The Indianapolis Colts, Super Bowl champs in 2007, rule the field at Lucas Oil Stadium, which has the largest rectractable roof in the NFL. For the NBA's Indiana Pacers and the WNBA's Indiana Fever, home court is Bankers Life Fieldhouse, just named the best basketball arena in the country by Sports Business Journal. In season, the Indianapolis Indians play AAA baseball at Victory Field, one of the most picturesque ballparks in any city.
History and cherished traditions. To get a glimpse, visit the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, built 101 years ago, or the legendary Hinkle Fieldhouse, site of the 1954 "Milan Miracle" that inspired the basketball film Hoosiers.
Mostly, it's the spirit of the people of Indianapolis that sets our city apart. An artificial city laid down on the swampy marshes of a non-navigable river, Indy should have been a sleepy, small-town state capital. But with humility and competitive spirit, a quietly determined people created a great city from the ground up. Endowed with few natural advantages, the city was built by people who did not accept excuses. From those pioneers of the early days to Madam Walker rising to riches when African-Americans lacked opportunity to the legendary battles at the Speedway to a downtown full of construction cranes in the middle of a recession, Indianapolis is the city that won't quit.
Today that spirit is as alive and strong as ever. We've come a long way, but we still haven't reached our potential. So while you delight in our sights and activities, be sure to get to know the people of Indianapolis. Treat yourself to the famous local hospitality, and be sure to come back soon to see what our determined attitude will create here tomorrow.
Welcome to our great city. Welcome to Indianapolis.

What, Exactly, Does NC's 'Racial Justice Act' Mean? We'll Know Soon
North Carolina's Racial Justice Act has been in place for nearly three years.
And very shortly we might actually learn what it means.
A judge in Fayetteville, N.C., on Wednesday heard closing arguments in the first case heard under the new law, which allows an inmate off death row if race is found to have been a "significant factor" in the sentence.
In a crowded courtroom at the Cumberland County courthouse, Judge Gregory A. Weeks heard arguments in a case involving the death sentence of Marcus Reymond Robinson, a black man convicted in 1994 of murdering a 17-year-old white man during a robbery.
Judge Weeks's significant challenge: to answer the nebulous question of whether race likely played an improper role in jury selection on capital cases around the time of Robinson's trial.
The decision, which should come in the next few weeks, will likely set a precedent for what happens with the state's other death-row inmates. Nearly all of North Carolina's 157 death-row inmates, including roughly 60 white inmates, have challenged their death sentences on racial-bias grounds.
Click here for the WSJ story on the arguments. Click here for a 2010 WSJ piece on the law; here, here, here, and here for recent LB posts on the law.
On its face, the law doesn't require a defendant to prove that bias took place in his case specifically. An inmate need only prove, with statistics, that race weighed heavily in prosecutors' and jurors' decisions concerning the death penalty "in the county, the prosecutorial district, the judicial division, or the State at the time the death sentence was sought or imposed."
At times, the Fayetteville hearing was more reminiscent of an introductory college statistics course than a John Grisham page-turner.
Robinson's lawyers, in arguing that race played a factor in jury selection, relied on a 2010 study from two law professors at Michigan State University that concluded that prosecutors struck prospective black jurors from juries at more than twice the rate of white jurors in North Carolina's 173 death-penalty cases from 1990 to 2010.
The state countered with affidavits from a variety of prosecutors stating that their dismissals of prospective black jurors could almost always be explained by other reasons.
"It's hard to read the tea leaves in a case like this," said Neil Vidmar, a law professor at Duke University. "But the case could set quite a precedent in North Carolina—and make a lot of others around the country sit up and take notice."

Cooking, family obligations, parties, entertaining, cleaning, money issues…the holiday season can be extremely overwhelming – and can lead to stress, as well as other types of mental and emotional difficulty.
How can you tell if a loved one is suffering?
LIKE BlackDoctor.org on Facebook! Get Your Daily Medicine…For LIFE!
Here are some of the top symptoms of the holiday blues:
- Headaches
- Excessive drinking
- Overeating
- Insomnia
- Stress
- Fatigue
- Unrealistic expectations
- Financial stress
- Inability to be/communicate with family and friends
Next Steps: What To Do Next…
If a loved one, including yourself, are showing any of the above signs, there are certain steps you can take to make sure they start feeling better:
Step 1: Talk to your loved one. Communicate your concerns. Let them know what you've noticed and why you're concerned. Explain that depression is a medical condition, not a personal flaw or weakness — and that it usually gets better with treatment.
Step 2: Suggest that the person see a professional. Ideal people to talk to include a medical doctor or a mental health provider, such as a licensed counselor or psychologist. Offer to help prepare a list of questions for the person to discuss in an initial appointment with a doctor or mental health provider.

See-Sound and ProjectC001
Following on from the paper 'Form, Colour and Time', the aim was to create an intuative instrument that can play an infinite array of sounds and give an accurate visual representation of the sounds in real-time. To achieve a representation as good as Kandinsky in terms of the way it deals with colour-sound relationships and also direction, loudness, pitch and space, but in live video form. The starting point was with the ProjectC001 synthesiser. Built by EEC this is connected to a lissajous test interface, modified to display three dimensional forms.The above images, show four snapshots from earlier ProjectC001 tests. What can be seen is the waveforms under manipulation.
The below are three early recordings from self made synthesiser ProjectC001 and adapted oscilloscope recorded as a test for the 'SeeSound' instrument.
Although the above fail to represent form and colour accurately, they go some way to representing pitch. The closeness of the verticals make part of the image lighter and so more akin to a higher pitch. This is all very well, but a high note, for example in the right foreground, is shown as a lighter patch on the lower half of the screen and therefor wrongly positioned in the space that is the canvas. Texture of the sound is represented pretty well by the nature of the oscilloscope and wave shape, but can be placed in unjustifiable positions on the canvas.

Madden's Pirate Vest
Added Jun 17, 2010
by kcladwig007
Mc Kinney, Texas...
My son is working as a lifeguard at a boyscout camp and once a week the lifeguards are required to dress up as pirates. He asked me if I could come up with a pirate costume for him. I started with an old vest pattern (McCall's 7817) I had made for my husband. The fun part was that I used leftover drapery fabric, leftover quilt binding, and old buttons so it cost me nothing. I did not line or face the vest because it hot and it's a costume. Using the quilt binding seems to provide the structure that a facing would give. I reinforced behind the buttonholes and buttons with interfacing. I cut the seam allowance off the vest because I was binding it. I am not happy with buttonhole placement. They are too far in. I am still trying to figure out how my buttonholer works.
Material Notes
I used leftover cotton chintz drapery fabric. It is burgundy and gold and has a chinoiserie theme. The binding is gold cotton batik with burgundy specks. I have a friend who gives me all her leftover quilt binding and my intention is to use it on clothing as much as possible.

Well done! And because of the binding, you don't notice the mistake with the buttonholes. :D
Have you sewn the binding by hand???? What a woooooork
I love the fabric!

I'll save random bits for last. I'll also mention Paris, since it was my fave, and I seem to have focused entirely on Rome! Shame on me.
European highlights include:
1 – Heavenly delicacies from patisseries in France- as mentioned, it was kind of tricky to eat on the go while being pregnant, but man, what I did eat was so good! Fruit. Crepes. Quiche (although Gourmandise is still at the top of my list for quiche!). Oh, and lots of petit baguettes! Lots.
Now, hang on for a lot of delicately balanced cookies. Ready, go!
2 – Scary, old, dry airplane food (although, I will say, it was nice to actually eat more than a pretzel on the plane! I guess we did pay for it in those hefty trans-Atlantic airfares though, huh?). You know food isn't going to taste good when it's stamped with encrypted wording and a laser barcode:)
3 – Mini cans of soda (these ones were "free," on our Air France flight- cheers to that!). Mike and I decided that European cans are more ergonomic. Much nicer on the hand and wrist than American cans of soda. Just a personal observation. Do you care to share your opinion? Anyone else want America to embrace European soda cans? PS- Have I mentioned? I never drank a Coke before this trip? Desperate times call for desperate measures.
4 – The best hotel breakfast, and the worst. I actually didn't know it was possible to have a bad breakfast, but Rome proved me wrong. The Paris breakfast? Probably the best I've ever had! I'm not kidding. It was incredible. Side note: have you noticed my impatience when it comes to food photography? Right. The second food arrives, I swear I just snap a picture with one hand, and start eating with my fork in the other. I'm so graceful. And patient. Just ask my husband. It's in my blood.
^Mmmmm… Paris! Pasteries, perfectly cooked eggs, yogurt, fresh-squeezed OJ, fruit, meats, cheese, cereal (what WAS that delicious chocolatey cereal!? Heaven help me). Oh! And jam in little jars. Can't forget the jam!
v Eeewie… Rome – stale bread, overcooked eggs, canned fruit, syrup-y OJ, and packaged toasty-cracker things…
Now for an abrupt ending.
1, 2, 3…
Merci & ciao!

I'm not a huge connoisseur of Champagne. I like a good aged Champagne every now and again, but I don't have the urge to drink much of it, especially since most Champagne that you might drink on an everyday basis isn't very good in my opinion. Unlike most other wines, where it's possible to find a decent, even a great bottle at the $10 to $20 price range, I find that same task extremely difficult when it comes to Champagne. For my money, by far the better bet in that price range is the Spanish sparkling wine Cava, or even better, a nice Prosecco from northern Italy.
Up until a few years ago, I knew nothing about Prosecco. I had never even heard of it, but then I got invited to go to a wedding (actually I was invited to be the officiant) in Conegliano, Italy, and I found myself in the heart of the Prosecco-Valdobbiadene wine region. Within spitting distance of the Dolomites, this region of twisty roads winding around steeply humped hills of green is a not often trafficked part of the Italian wine country, but one that is quite rewarding to explore. For one thing, the vineyards are quite extraordinary, planted as they are on some of the steepest hillsides I have ever seen anything growing on, let alone trellised wine grapes. These hills are so steep they'd make fabulous ski runs were they but 200 kilometers farther north (and not covered with lush vines, of course). Couple these dramatic vineyards with a countryside dotted with a mixture of Palladio design estates and small family farms, and you've got a winning mix for an afternoon (or a week) of wine tasting.
I really didn't get to explore it much while I was there, and it came at the end of a much longer, more in-depth trip to Tuscany, but I did have one half-bottle of California wine left over (the last of six) that I had carefully brought with me to Italy to share with the winemakers that I visited while in Tuscany. I brought it with me one afternoon that we went wine tasting with the bride and groom, thinking that I might give it to one of the folks who showed us their hospitality that afternoon.
I was presented with a perfect occasion at the estate of Il Colle, perched on a steeply banked hill just off the main Wine Road that winds through the Prosecco region outside of the tiny village of San Pietro de Feletto. Owner Fabio Ceschin's family has been in the wine business since 1920, and in 1977 he founded this estate in the region to produce both still and sparkling wines from entirely estate grown grapes. While not exactly a small family producer (I don't quite remember how much wine they produce, it's pretty large quantities) they were very gracious and I was happy to leave them with my last bottle of wine as a thank you. I had returned to the bus that we had arrived in and we were just about to depart when the young lady who was showing us around ran out and presented me with this bottle in return.
Cuvée 46° Parallelo is a non-vintage (NV) limited edition bottling of some of the estate's finest fruit. 10,000 bottles are made, and each one numbered. Mine was Bottle 04405 of 10000. Named after the 46th parallel, which cuts through the heart of the Prosecco appellation, this wine is made from 100% Prosecco grapes in the traditional style which mirrors the production techniques of Champagne. Because it is non-vintage, one can assume that the wine is a blend of wine from several vintages.
Tasting Notes:
The color of light hay in the glass, with moderately small bubbles, this wine smells of old parchment, hay, and dry earth. In the mouth it its gorgeously light and balanced, with excellent but not overpowering acidity. Its primary flavors are of chalk, lemon zest, and a slight airy sweetness that hints at the tiniest bit of apple or pear flavors. It has a crisp finish and is a joy to drink, as if it were the laughter of a small child.
Food Pairing:
I had this bottle with some good friends over a very nice dinner. We drank it as an aperitif, for which it did wonderfully, but it would also be a lovely accompaniment to any sort of raw fish or crudo. If you're not going to just drink it for the heck of it, then bring it to sushi.
Overall Score: 9.5
How Much?: $45
This wine was hand carried back to the states and is nearly impossible to find domestically, I'm sorry to report.I'm not even sure they have a US distributor. It is sold in various places in Europe. If you see it somewhere, buy a case for yourself and a case for me! I know it's a little silly for me to review a wine that you, my readers, can't easily find, but this was a special bottle and it's a fabulous wine, so maybe you can just chalk it up to experience.

I could finally study Scripture for myself. I now use it as a teaching tool. The organization is a little unwieldy. I found it necessary to write a flow-sheet to remind myself of the different things I was looking for in a text. It works hard at sticking with principles of hermeneutics. If I had the opportunity, I would probably give it 4.5 stars, but it a book that is well worth having and using.
