The La Junta School Board meeting Monday night was impacted by the presence of an overflow crowd of teachers from the school district. Negotiations under the La Junta Education Association Master Agreement, in force, with adjustments, for 30 years, broke down when the mediator from Denver could not find a basis for agreement.
The school board, represented by Bill Jackson and Troy Smith, feels that the wage increase proposed by the teachers would deplete the reserve fund in two years. Most of the four million reserve is tied up in obligations, such as the new Tiger Field. The actual reserve fund is 1.4 million not restricted. The school district is spending more than it takes in. The board wishes to maintain the reserve so it will not have to cut services.
The La Junta Education Association objects to throwing out the Master Agreement. The parts that the School Board wishes to eliminate are the family medical leave and the military leave (which are covered by federal regulations) and the sick leave bank (which is governed by a board including L.J.E.A. members but subject to approval by the school board). They most heartily object to not having an agreement from which to work.
Said Jackson Monday night after the meeting, "We have given them everything they've asked for that is within our means." A raise of $500-$1000 for teachers has been incorporated in this year's budget but is not across-the-board. The classified employees have been given a long-delayed boost in salaries by a new salary schedule. Administrators are also on a new schedule with a minimal raise in pay. The cap for medical insurance compensation has been raised from $450 to $475 and the district is absorbing a nine percent hike in Public Employee Retirement Association dues.
First to speak were William and Diane Remick, who expressed their opinions that it would be in the interest of all to continue negotiations. The bond between the teachers and the board at present is strong, but the decision to take away the agreement negatively affects the situation and breaks the bond. "Don't take that voice away from us," said William Remick. Kristi Hartless, new to the district (formerly CBR), has observed lots of collaboration in this district and asked the board to reconsider the negotiation part of the agreement. She said we need the team. Erin Tomky and Desiree Goheen, co-presidents of the L.J.E.A., believe the reserve is excessive and asked that the board return to the table and honor 30 years of collaboration.

I am working on a big project that consists of about 40 sub-projects with very not optimized dependencies. There are declared dependencies that are not in use as well as used but undeclared dependencies. The second case is possible when dependency is added via other dependency.
I want to remove redundant and add required dependencies. I ran
mvn dependency:analyze and got a long list of warnings I have to fix now.
I wonder whether there is maven plugin or any other utility that can update my
pom.xml files automatically. I tried to do it manually but it takes a lot of time. It seems it will take a couple of days of copy/paste to complete the task.
In worse case I can write such script myself but probably ready stuff exists?
Here is how
mvn dependency:analyze reports dependency warnings:

TEMPE - In their second Pac-12 conference matchup of the 2014 spring season, the No. 25 Arizona State University Sun Devils (13-2; Pac-12 2-0) women's tennis team swiftly defeated the University of Oregon, 4-0, on Friday afternoon at the Whiteman Tennis Center in Tempe, Ariz.
The second conference win for ASU was a culmination of big victories on the lower courts, with Arizona State capturing wins on the number three, five and six courts to go along with the opening doubles point. The doubles point, which was secured by wins on the second and third courts, set the tempo for the rest of the match and carried Arizona State to victory.
To open the afternoon, the junior-sophomore pairing of Joanna Smith and Stephanie Vlad defeated Sofia Hager and Lana Buttner 8-3, while junior Leighann Sahagun and freshman Alexandra Osborne handled Mariou Kluiving and Lina Akesson of Oregon on the second court, pulling out an 8-4 victory to capture the overall point and retire the doubles matchup on the first court
The two quick victories and retirement of the first match left the ASU coaching staff pleased with the overall performance, as opening energy has been something that's been discussed in the locker room before.
"After we won the doubles point," ASU Head Coach Sheila McInerney said, "I thought we really came out and kept the momentum going out and competed well in singles play."
Working off that catalyst the Sun Devils competed in six tough singles matches, yet were able to win three straight to bring the match to an end.
Sophomore Ebony Panoho put the first singles score on the whiteboard, defeating Oregon's Lina Akesson in two quick sets, 6-4, 6-0. Junior Leighann Sahagun tacked on her own point, topping Lana Buttner in two sets, 6-1, 6-3. Freshman Gussie O'Sullivan's match on the sixth court ended up being the point to seal the deal for Arizona State, with O'Sullivan topping Kadie Hueffner in two identical sets, 6-2, 6-2, and adding yet another team win to the list of twelve others.
O'Sullivan's match clinching win also allowed play to be suspended on the first, second and fourth courts, two of which were led by Arizona State.
"It's always nice to get a win, particularly a Pac-12 win against Oregon, but I definitely think we can play play better," McInerney added. "Our schedule from here on out doesn't get any easier and we have some really tough teams to face down the road."
Looking forward, the Sun Devils will host the Cougars of Washington State on Saturday afternoon at the Whiteman Tennis Center for another Pac-12 conference matchup. Play is scheduled to begin at 10:30 a.m.
No. 25 Arizona State 4 :: University of Oregon 0

Added Experience - The Minutemen have added experience in its pitching staff with a pair of transfers, DJ Jauss and Jordan Pace. Both are graduate students, eligible to play immediately after graduating from East Carolina and Presbyterian, respectively. Jauss has two remaining seasons of eligibility, while Pace has one. Pace started in 13 games for Presbyterian in 2012. - Pace's performance was one of the highlights of the Irish Classic for the Minutemen. In two appearances on the weekend, a total of 5.2 innings of work, he gave up just one hit, a single, walked two and struck out seven. Opponents hit just .053 against him (1-for-19). He made his debut in the starting rotation last weekend at Lamar and has tossed 11.2 innings on the year and holds a 1.54 earned run average. Pace boasts a team-leading 12 strikeouts to five walks.
Picking Up Where They Left Off - Several Minutemen have carried over reached base streaks of five games or more from 2012. Juniors Rob McLam and Nik Campero have both reached base in all six contests to start 2013. - Rob McLam: Active 12-game reached base streak (six-game streak entering 2013)- Nik Campero: Active 10-game reached base streak (four-game streak entering 2013) - Kyle Adie: Active five-game reached base streak - Rich Graef: 11-game reached base streak (six-game streak entering 2013, reached base in five straight to start the season).

Is It Possible To Be TOO High?
Category: Fun | Posted on Fri, October, 18th 2013 by THCFinder
Most people who smoke seem to agree that you can only get to a certain point of being stoned. But sometimes, there are moments when people just stop for a second after smoking and think "oh my god... When did I get this stoned?" Is this point the moment when you're just too high? Is that even possible? Since marijuana overdose is highly unlikely, it's also unlikely that you can get "too stoned". Right?
What the majority agree on? You can't ever be too stoned. A lot of stoners feel that you can only get to a certain point of being high before the THC in the weed no longer effects you. Because of the lack of lethality in marijuana, there is no danger of overdosing. If you hit the point of not getting any higher, the most likely scenario is that you'll just fall asleep.
On the other hand, there are other stoners who refer to this thing called "greening out". This term refers to the point where you feel so high that you're uncomfortable. Some stoners might experience nausea or extreme fatigue. Others get dizzy and find it hard for their eyes to focus, while others report extreme paranoia and panic attacks. There is no danger for the stoners at this point but it's best to lay down and try to sleep.
This "greening out" feeling may also be a result of the strain that's being smoked. Usually, those who smoke large amounts of heavy indica report a nausea and dizziness, paired with extreme tiredness. Stoners who used large amounts of sativa say that smoking too much made them extremely paranoid and uncomfortable. As said before, the best cure for this feeling is just to lay down if possible. Relax and try to clear your mind. The feeling will pass eventually. "Greening out" doesn't occur in all smokers but can happen when large amounts of THC are ingested after a long break from smoking or someone who has just started smoking and ingested too much too soon.
Basically, it is possible to be too high for some people. It depends on the individual and the weed that's being smoked. Some people just naturally have a higher tolerance to THC, while others will experience this weird feeling at one time or another in their smoking career.
What are you Smoking on?

Arizona Judge Overturns County's Ban On Medical Marijuana Dispensaries
Category: Dispensaries | Posted on Fri, October, 18th 2013 by THCFinder
Arizona Superior Court Judge Michael Gordon has overturned a zoning ordinance in Maricopa County which, according to the judge, is a "transparent attempt" to keep medical cannabis dispensaries out of unincorporated areas of the county. The ruling came as part of a pretrial verdict in favor of White Mountain Health Center, which plans to open a dispensary in Sun City.
In his verdict, Judge Gordon said that the ordinance amounts to an effective ban on dispensaries in some of the county's cities, and noted that there is no available property in Sun City that meets the county's requirements.
Gordon says that the ordinance "suggests a transparent attempt to prevent the implementation of the Arizona Medical Marijuana Act".
According to the ruling, county's have authority to zone dispensaries, but don't have the authority to zone them in a manner that bans them outright. Gordon will listen to further arguments on practical effects of his ruling from both sides on Monday.

Cannabis Infused Alcohol/Canna-Bloody Mary Recipes

Cannabis Infused Alcohol/Canna-Bloody Mary Recipes
I've been a bartender for almost five years now. While I don't drink, I do appreciate a well thought of drink recipe. Not only that, but since alcohol has great extraction properties when it come to cannabis, making drinks with marijuana and alcohol together can not only be a hit at parties but can also benefit some patients. Some tinctures, while more harsh, can be made with alcohol and it has an interesting, euphoric effect on the user if made right.
A drink that I've always found quite interesting was the Bloody Mary, since they always seem to have the most incredible garnishes. There are a lot of people who love these drinks and I stumbled upon a Cannabis Chef recipe that not only tells you how to make cannabis vodka, but gives the recipe for a great looking cannabis infused Bloody Mary.
To make the vodka, you'll need;
22g of Cannabis
3fl oz of Alcohol (Must be more than 50% alcohol)
First, place your cannabis on a cookie sheet and bake it in the over at 150 degrees for about an hour. The bud should be dry and crumble in to a powder when you squeeze it. Make sure that all of the bud is a fine powder and the soak the powder in water for 12 hours.
After 12 hours, drain the excess water from the cannabis powder and put it in an airtight contained. Mason jars, as always, come in handy for situations such as this one. Pour the alcohol that you have over the cannabis in the jar and close it up. Store this jar in a cool, dark area for 10 days or more. The longer the mixture sits in the jar, the better it will turn out in the end. You also must remember to shake the jar multiple times a day to assure that you get the most THC that you can from the powdered cannabis.
After you feel that the mixture has been stored for long enough, it's time to strain it. Using a coffee filter, pour the cannabis infused vodka in to a container. Repeat this process until there are no more particle floating in the mixture. Now, you have an alcohol tincture. This can be ingested in this state or used in drink recipes, as we're going to go over next.
To make the Bloody Mary, it's quite easy. Depending on how much of a Bloody Mary lover you are, you may have your own favorite recipe that you enjoy. If this is the case, you can your own method of creating the drink, just using the cannabis vodka. If you're not sure on how to make a Bloody Mary or would just like to try the Cannabis Chef's recipe, there's this one!
What You'll Need;
1/2fl oz of Cannabis Vodka
Worcestershire Sauce
Tabasco Sauce
5fl oz Tomato Juice
1tbsp Lemon Juice
Salt & Pepper (Optional)
Lemon Twist (Optional)
Celery (Optional)
Using a shaker, mix up the tincture, sauce, and the juices. Shake it well to make sure everything mixes up the correct way. Fill a tall glass with ice and pour the mixture in. You don't have to use a glass with ice. If you do have a bar shaker available, you can chill the drink over ice in the shaker. Then pour it in to the glass. Add some salt and pepper if you'd like, as well as the lemon twist and the celery stalk. There you have it, a wonderful infusion of alcohol and marijuana. This drink is a good way to relax at the end of the day. Highly recommended for those that enjoy a beverage after work.

To be quite honest, i heard no difference in the tones. You either aren't boosting right, or the way you recorded these tracks is making it lose the elements which make boosting so prominent.
When im playing my Bugera 6262, which is probably the closest thing to a 6505 besides a 5150, when i turn off my tubescreamer, there is a NOTICEABLE loss in gain and clarity and increase in flubby bass. The difference is amazingly clear with my setup.
I know everybodies ears and equipment is different, but i still couldn't help but feel your tone should sound more different with the pedal activated.
EDIT: I actually did notice on Resolve, track b is significantly louder and has more presence. That big change in volume leads me to believe it wasn't mixed the same in your program though, because on the rest of the tracks there is no volume change.

This Week
Arizona will meet up with Northern Colorado for the first time since 1975 ... Although its been a while, the Wildcats and Bears have a history on the baseball field. Northern Colorado stunned one of the best Wildcat teams in school history when it upset UA in the 1974 District 7 finals in the NCAA tournament two games to none. The 1974 UA team entered the NCAA postseason with a gaudy 58-4 overall record, but the two losses to the Bears in Greenly, Colo., kept the No. 1-ranked Wildcats from appearing in what would have been the ninth College World Series in school history ... Arizona is 29-3 all-time against Northern Colorado in a series that dates back to 1954 and swept the Bears 3-0 in the last meeting in 1975 ... Northern Colorado returns 19 letterwinners from the 2004 team that went 29-23 overall ... The Bears are the first of four NCAA Division I Independent teams that Arizona will take on this season.
Northern Colorado Snowed Out
Friday's game between the Bears and the Wildcats will mark the season opener for Northern Colorado. Its doubleheader against Air Force, scheduled for Tuesday was snowed out. The delay to the season marks the second straight year the Bears have been delayed by the white stuff.
New Mexico Series Recap
The Wildcats swept their three game series against New Mexico in dominating fashion both on the mound and at the plate ... All three games were decided by nine runs (9-0, 14-5, 15-6) ... The three-game sweep extended Arizona's winning streak over New Mexico to 22 consecutive games dating back to 1997 ... Friday - Juniors John Meloan and Sean Jarrett teamed up to toss a one-hit shut out against the Lobos. Meloan went 7 2/3 innings before giving up a two-out single in the bottom of the eighth. He finished with a career-high 12 Ks. Jarrett worked a perfect final 1 1/3 innings to cap off the game ... Offensively Arizona scored nine runs on 13 hits. Senior Jeff Van Houten paced the Wildcats at the plate in the season opener, finishing 3 for 3 with a RBI and two runs scored. Junior Trevor Crowe scored three of his series-best seven runs in the game ... Saturday - Kevin Guyette, Sean Rierson and Mark Melancon teamed up to strike out 18 UNM hitters in the 14-5 UA victory. Tied 4-4 after five and half innings, UA scored three runs in the bottom of the sixth before blowing the game open with seven runs in the seventh ... Offensively, Arizona rapped out 17 hits, including seven for extra bases. Junior Nick Hundley finished with a pair of home runs in the game, including a solo shot in the bottom of the sixth to give Arizona the lead for good. It was Hundley's first career multi-homer game ... Sunday - The Wildcats capped off the series sweep with a 15-6 win on Sunday ... Bill Rhinehart, Jordan Brown and Jason Donald all went deep as part of a 19-hit barrage against the Lobo pitching staff ... Brown finished the game 4 for 5 with three RBI and three runs scored ... Donald led all players with four RBI in the contest ... On the mound, freshman Eric Berger picked up his first career victory with 2 2/3 innings of work out of the bullpen. The southpaw struck out four and walked one in his first UA appearance.
Pitchers Off To a Good Start
As noted above, the Wildcat pitching staff got off to a good start in the opening series of the season. All total, nine different hurlers teamed up to post a 2.00 ERA in 27 innings last weekend and limit New Mexico to a .173 team batting average in the series. Eight of the nine pitchers used against the Lobos recorded at least one strike out and six finished without issuing a walk ... John Meloan and Sean Jarrett teamed up to toss the first one-hitter for UA since 1980, while Kevin Guyette, Sean Rierson and Mark Melancon combined to strike out 18 Lobo hitters, two shy of the UA school record, in Saturday's 14-5 win ... UA's bullpen did not give up an earned run in 10 innings of work and surrendered just one walk.
Ahead of the Curve
Including the 18 strike out performance last Saturday, the Wildcats pitching staff whiffed 42 New Mexico hitters in the first three games of the season (14 per game). It took last year's staff a full five games into the season to match that total.
Offense Not To Be Out-Done
Somewhat overshadowed by the successful pitching last weekend, the Arizona offense more then held its own against New Mexico ... Collectively, UA hit .419 (49 for 117) with 13 doubles, a triple and five home runs in the series ... 12 of the 13 Arizona players that had at least one AB in the series collected a hit ... 10 different players scored at least one run in the series ... Arizona averaged 16 hits and almost 13 runs per game, while recording a .500 on-base percentage and a .675 team slugging percentage ... Individually, senior Jeff Van Houten led the Wildcats with a .667 average in the series (8 for 12). He finished with five RBI and five runs scored ... Junior Trevor Crowe extended his successful stolen base streak to 28 straight with a pair of steals against the Lobos. Four of Crowe's five hits in the series went for doubles ... Sophomore Bill Rhinehart tallied the most successful series in his career, hitting .615 (8 for 13) with a home run, a double, three RBI and four runs scored ... Classmate Jason Donald went 6 for 13 (.462) with a double, a triple and a home run in the series. He ended the weekend with six RBI and four runs scored ... Paced by a two-homer game on Saturday, junior Nick Hundley slugged a very impressive 1.083 in the series.
Taking a Poll
After opening the season a consensus No. 12 in the polls, the Wildcats moved up at least one spot in all three of rankings after the opening weekend sweep of New Mexico. UA jumped up two spots, to No. 10, in the Sports Weekly/ESPN Coaches Poll and one spot, to No. 11, in both the Collegiate Baseball and Baseball America polls. The complete polls can be found on page 5 of the release.
No So Petty Theft
Arizona has led the Pac-10 in stolen bases each of the last two seasons, and if the start to 2005 is any indication, it will compete for the top spot again. The Wildcats were a perfect 7 for 7 in stolen bases on opening weekend against New Mexico.
Meloan Named Collegiate Baseball National Player of the Week
Junior right-hander John Meloan was named the co-national player of the week by Collegiate Baseball for his 7 2/3 innings, one-hit effort against New Mexico on Feb. 4. The honor is the first in Meloan's career and the first for an Arizona player since teammate Sean Rierson garnered the award on Feb. 18, 2003. Meloan is the eighth UA player to be recognized by the publication as its player of the week since 1994.
11 Straight
Friday starter John Meloan is 15-1 all-time at UA and has won 11 straight games in which he has factored in the decision. His only career loss at UA came on May 4, 2003 against Cal in his freshman year. Since then he has appeared in 22 games, made 12 starts and gone 11-0. Used primarily as a reliever early in his career at UA, he has flourished as a starter with an 11-0 record, a 3.51 ERA and 87 strikeouts when taking the ball from the get go.

Meloan's Career Starting Numbers
BB - Brad Boyer or Base on Balls?
Junior infielder Brad Boyer made an impact against New Mexico despite recording just two hits in the series. Aided by a team-high five walks, the third-year starter scored six runs, second-best for Arizona on the weekend, drove in two more, stole a base and finished with a .471 on-base percentage.
The Streaks Carry On
Junior Trevor Crowe extended both of his carry over streaks from the 2004 season on opening weekend. The speedy outfielder went 2 for 2 in stolen bases against New Mexico to extend his success to 28 straight attempts. He also collected at least one hit in all three games to push his hitting streak to 11 consecutive games ... Senior Jeff Van Houten is nipping at Crowe heals for the longest active hitting streak. The 2003 Pac-10 batting champion has hit in 10 straight games dating back to 2004 ... Sophomore Jason Donald has the longest current string of consecutive games played at 67 straight. Donald started all 64 games his freshman season in 2004 and three this season.
Return Right On
Senior Sean Rierson made a splash in his return from Tommy John surgery last weekend. The right-hander struck out six of the seven hitters he faced over 2 1/3 innings, including three looking, and needed just under six pitches per hitter to do so. The effort earned him his 24th career win, but just his first since the 2003 season.
Senior Assault On The Record Book
Two of Arizona's three seniors on the roster this season have a chance to leave a lasting impression in the all-time record book. Outfielder Jeff Van Houten is edging his way into the hitting records and right-hander Sean Rierson is already among the all-time leaders in the pitching records.

Preseason Honors
Junior teammates Trevor Crowe and John Meloan were feted with preseason All-America recognition by three different sources. Both the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association and Baseball America named Crowe, who finished with a team-high .350 batting and led the Pac-10 in stolen bases in 2004, second-team All-America. Meloan, who finished the 2004 season a perfect 10-0 on the mound, garnered third-team preseason All-America honors from Collegiate Baseball.
The Non-Conference Slate
According to plan, the Wildcats will face a challenging non-conference slate in 2005. UA will take on not only defending national champions Cal State Fullerton, but the CWS runner up Texas as well. Mississippi State, a Collegiate Baseball top 25 team and 2004 regional participant, will also pay a visit to Tucson in early March, as well as UNLV, Northern Colorado and UC Riverside.
No Place Like Home
A season removed from playing the fewest number of home games since 1973 (27 home games in 2004), Arizona will play 19 of its first 22 games of the season in Tucson, and will host a more-typical total of 34 regular season games at Kindall Field in 2005. Since moving to its current location on the corners of Enke and National Championship Drives in 1967, Arizona has posted 34 winning seasons at Kindall Field, including the last nine straight.
A Good Omen?
The last two times Arizona advanced to the College World series and failed to come home with the national championship in tow (1979, 1985), the Wildcats returned to Omaha the following season and brought back the hardware. The 1979 Arizona CWS team went 1-2 in Omaha and the ?'85 squad went 0-2.
Cats Picked Third By Conference Coaches
In what was one of the closest preseason races in Pac-10 history, the Wildcats were selected to finish in a tie for third in the preseason coaches rankings. Defending conference champion Stanford will begin the 2005 season as the team to beat, followed by Washington in second and Arizona and Arizona State in a tie for third. The Cardinal garnered four first-place votes and 58 total, Washington picked up two first-place votes and 52 final votes, while the Wildcats and the Sun Devils each finished with 51 total points. ASU was named the first-place team by two coaches and UA picked up one first-place vote. Coaches were not allowed to vote for their own team.
Preseason Pac-10 Coaches Poll
1. Stanford 58 (4)
2. Washington 52 (2)
3. Arizona 51 (1)
Arizona State 51 (2)
6. Oregon State 25
7. California 23
9. Washington State 8
Pinstripes To Make Their Return
The last time the Arizona baseball team took the field in pinstripes was 1947, 58 years ago. That will all change this season as the Wildcats will don white uniforms with thin blue pinnies in selected games in 2005. In addition, the Cats will also top off their new uniforms with white caps that will feature the "Academic A" and a solid blue bill. Arizona will also be able to mix and match red, white, blue and gray tops to go along with the white home pants and road grays.
A Couple of Schedule Changes
Since the schedule was released early last fall, it has under gone a couple of minor alterations. The previously scheduled game with New Mexico in Albuquerque on May 17 has been moved to April 19 due to a facility issue in New Mexico. Also, Arizona will face both UC Irvine and Sacramento State in Sacramento April 22-24. Please consult www.arizonaathletics.com and the baseball schedule page for the most current and up-to-date schedule.
Head Coach Andy Lopez
Entering his fourth season as the skipper at UA, Lopez has reenergized the Wildcat program. The fastest coach in school history to lead a team to College World Series, he has posted a 105-74-1 record (current) in his first three seasons. Last year's postseason run extinguished a streak of 18 years with out a UA appearance at the CWS and made him one of just three coaches in NCAA Division I history to lead three different schools to Omaha. In addition to his role as head coach, Lopez also serves as the pitching coach for the Wildcats.
It Rhymes With River
Volunteer assistant coach Andy Diver has joined the Wildcat coaching staff in 2005. Diver joins the coaching staff in Tucson after spending the previous two years as the head coach at L.A. Harbor Community College. He will assist Lopez with pitching staff, as well as help coordinate the Andy Lopez Baseball Academy summer camps.

We're very excited this week to bring to you another candidate for the 2010 Georgia Governor Race. This week's candidate is Al Bartell. Mr. Bartell stands out this year as the state's only Independent candidate vying for the post of Governor. It's our pleasure to bring this exclusive interview to you, the people of Georgia. Our hope is that we can help you, the people, make up your own mind about the issues and what will make sense for you and the state.
Examiner: Mr. Bartell, thanks so much for being with us. My first question is about jobs, of course. On your campaign site, you speak of an international commitment as helping to provide a framework for strategic economic development. What does that mean and precisely how do you plan to attract economic development to the state?
Al Bartell: The goal of economic development strategy is currently based on resource allocation- but economies around the world are based on distribution of communication. We think Georgia can be a development opportunity for communications around the world. Georgia can be a base for developing and exporting that technology. Those kinds of communication technology jobs can be a base for jobs in Georgia, as well as provide communication technology strategies for growing economies around the world. Georgia revenue economy can be based on that strategy.
We have seven planning commission districts in Georgia. They each must submit to the Governor's Department of Community Affairs a reliable strategic plan that includes economic development. The human resource and jobs development strategies are based on obsolete manufacturing outcomes. What is available as future job production outcomes are not manufacturing but technology strategies. Communications technology job production outcomes can supply overseas markets and those jobs can be located here in Georgia. The communications industries can produce jobs in urban, suburban and rural Georgia.
Examiner: What is the place for labor? Will development simply be for those at the top? What will be the precise opportunities for labor?
Al Bartell: Labor must be willing to update its obsolete practices for human resource development based on job protection rather than job creation. HR opportunities are currently more plentiful at the top then the bottom, we want to invert that. Labor must invest in resource development the same way it currently invests in R&D development. Labor hesitates investing into job creation because of the excessive demand for immediate short term return on the investment. More contemporary strategies are available that can substantiate the investment is a long term strategy and is equally reliable as short term human resource investments.
Budget for manufacturing, R&D and product distribution has increased. We need more HR development at the bottom of the scale. Long term human resource investments would increase opportunities for bottom up employee mobility. Human resource development based on evolving technologies rather than declining manufacturing is significantly more reliable and sustainable in current global economic trends.
Examiner: What do you propose to do about taxes? What should the working class and the poor pay relative to the rich as a percentage?
Al Bartell: Currently the tax strategy is one size fits all, that won't work anymore. We need different taxation strategies for the 12 regions of the nation. We can't tax the southeast region the same as the northeast, which is based on manufacturing not small and medium sized businesses. We need to restructure to a regional tax strategy for the nation as opposed to one size fits all.
For Georgia, the taxing of assets and amount of profit that can be made from the production of goods and services is a disadvantaged tax strategy for small businesses. Farmers are not able to go from growers to small businesses because of the tax laws for small businesses. We must redesign the system to allow farmers to transition from growers to small businesses. States in the south can develop small businesses as a growth strategy. Under the current system, states in the south are suffering and we can't take advantage of the corporate human capital model not suited for the southern region.
Additionally, tax strategies are based on corporate ownership and cumulative asset management systems. Those tax assessment systems favor the incorporated and the rich. A contemporary small business tax system needs to now be implemented given that most poor and working class citizens work not for corporations, but small businesses across America and specifically Georgia.
Examiner: You've worked with the Juvenile Justice System. In what ways would you work to improve what we're doing in regards to preventive measures? It costs less to send a young man to Harvard than prison so what initiatives might we see in the future that would help change the cost structure and incarceration rates?
Al Bartell: The statistical analysis 15 years ago about the impacting structure of crime and punishment was designed on warehousing. Decisions and crime reduction strategies are based on obsolete data that favor human warehousing rather than human development to prevent recidivism. We now have to design a justice system that includes developing human resources. You're right, it does cost less to send a young man to Harvard than prison. So why couldn't we design a system that makes warehousing obsolete as a model and move toward a system based on HR development? This could decrease the recidivism rate by 15-18 percent in the next 5 years.
Examiner: In seeking to sure up the state's budget, what's your strategy? If you are seeking to make cuts, where would those cuts be?
Al Bartell: We'd want to make cuts in the communication of daily operations. Burning up paper, man hours etc is one of greatest stresses on the state budget. If we redesign communication, having people communicate with system-based methodologies rather than an individual manpower approach we'd do well. We could cut the state budget by 12-14 percent. Right now we're running a 20 percent deficit. We have technology in place for a manager to communicate with five or six divisions and several different departments by simply pressing a button on computer. Yet, we still have systems in place where we call a meeting for fifteen people and pass out fifteen pieces of paper and have them send out emails to people then have a meeting about the email sent out then have another meeting about the email just sent out. Not only are we wasting money on resources, but this is costing us man-hours in the hundreds for what could be done in two hours tops.
Examiner: What should Georgia do about healthcare?
Al Bartell: Georgia should not implement a one size fits all healthcare initiative. Atlanta's needs are different even from other counties in the state. The current model is from the 20's. We need the public/private sector to partner. Right now the private sector lobby is so strong we've not been able to overcome it. First, we need a reliable, community-based advocacy to disband the one size fits all pushed by private sector lobbies.
We also need to have a community-based advocacy to resist implementation of public option. It's merely the private sector using policy makers to push their own agenda. Research shows both public and private models are still based on the principle that one size fits all. It limits people that can be serviced by the model. If we moved from one size fits all, we would move healthcare services from 20-30 percent to as much as 70 percent.
Examiner: How do we pay for that?
Al Bartell: It takes less money to design a diversified model than one that amasses mass resources to sustain a one size fits all. We could decrease by 18-25 percent the costs of the current model by implementing a diversified model.
Examiner: Thanks so much Mr. Bartell.
Join us next week for the Friday Policy Plug when our guest will be Democratic candidate David Poythress.

Morris County Mall Twin
Morris County Mall,
3 people favorited this theater
This mall theatre may have been operated by General Cinema.
Recent comments (view all 7 comments)
This was indeed a GCC operation. It has since been converted to retail.
what retail is it? A Wal-Mart?
The former cinema, which was located minutes off Route 10 Eastbound on the way down to Morristown in Cedar Knolls (not too far from where I work at Employment Horizons, my workshop), later became a strip mall with a Wal-Mart as well as other stores and restaurants. When did it open and close and how many seats did it hold in each auditorium, as well as the sound and picture formats?
I remember this movie theater as it was co-located with the Morris County Mall. Although I saw several films here I can only immediately recall Monty Python's LIFE OF BRIAN, PORKY'S, and the movie version of BEATLEMANIA. This movie theater also hosted late shows.
As with many smaller theaters, this movie was doomed by multiplexes such as the one that replaced the Morristown theater.
I worked here briely as a projectionist in 1990, when things were already in a downslide. Had 2 screens, screen 1 was the bigger of the 2 theatres. Ran "teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" in the spring of 1990, which seemed to be the last harrah for this theatre.
Hey movie534 I have a couple of questions, who was your theater manager and did Richie Harrington work there when you were the projectionist? I worked at Essex Green in West Orange from Sept '86 to Sept '87 and occassionally he got pawned off to us when our manager John Monsport or the assistant manager John Boyd weren't available to work.
The natural progression of things in this country is so damned sad.This was a wonderful theater and my favorite memory was in early 1984 (January maybe) and having the pleasure of seeing Terry Bedford's crime/action film "Slayground" starring Peter Coyote,Mel Smith,Billie Whitelaw and the late Philip Sayer as The Shadowman.This was a twin theater and Lord knows this would never be acceptable these days with the 18 and 24 movieplexes and so forth.The worst thing is the fact that this General Cinema theater would eventually become what is the Wal-Mart store.Progress…I THINK NOT!!!

Also, clerics like Yasser Bourhami, influential among hard-line Salafis, are presenting ideas for restrictions on tourism. Bourhami calls it "halal tourism," using the term for food that is ritually fit under Islamic law.
"A five-star hotel with no alcohol, a beach for women — sisters — separated from men in a bay where the two sides can enjoy a vacation for a week without sins," he said in an interview with private television network Dream TV. "The tourist doesn't have to swim with a bikini and harm our youth."
A leading member of Al-Nour, Tarek Shalaan, stumbled through a recent TV interview when asked about his views on the display of nude pharaonic statues like those depicting fertility gods.
"The antiquities that we have will be put under a different light to focus on historical events," he said, without explaining further.
He also failed to explain whether hotel reception clerks will have to start demanding marriage certificates from couples checking in together.
"Honestly, I don't know the Shariah position, so I don't want to give an answer," he said.
During Sunday's campaign event for the Muslim Brotherhood, candidate al-Jarf said the new approach doesn't have to spell the end of tourism.
"Foreigners respect traditions, they didn't come here for nudity," she told a crowd in a middle class district of Giza steps away from the Pyramids where many residents work in tourism.
Another candidate at the event, Ahmed el-Khouli, promised they would draw millions more tourists and criticized members of rival, secular parties who he said "promote nudity and prostitution in Egypt" for the sake of attracting tourist dollars.
Tourism accounts for roughly 10 percent of Egypt's gross domestic product, employs an estimated 3 million of Egypt's 85 million people, and is one of the top three mainstays of the economy, along with Suez Canal fees and remittances.
Huge swaths of the country, like the Red Sea shores with their stunning coral reefs and Nile Valley cities like Luxor with their ancient temples and tombs, are solely dependent on tourism.
This year, tourist arrivals fell more than 35 percent in the second quarter, according to government figures.
Still, residents of Luxor and Red Sea province voted in large numbers for the Islamists, which opponents said was a result of the parties feeding a "feeling of guilt" over things like serving alcohol.
Some Salafis acknowledge their approach could mean losses for the industry but propose ways to compensate, like promoting medical tourism or religious and educational tourism.
Their talk prompted an outcry from hundreds of tour guides and the minister of tourism, who recently held a demonstration at the steps of the Great Pyramid. They asserted that each speech by the Islamists translated into reservation cancellations.
The minister, Moneir Fakhri Abdel-Nour, said the impact of religious edicts, or fatwas, on tourism is as bad as the impact from Egypt's security troubles.
"The tourism industry is facing a double challenge: security ... and the fatwas," Abdel-Nour said Monday, according to Egypt's state-run news agency. "No one will be able to destroy or threaten this industry," he added.

Pet Health Insurance Options
Pet owners and lovers usually seek to have the best care possible for their pets. Lots of pet owners look into taking up pet insurance for their loved ones, in order to get reimbursements for necessary procedures like veterinary appointments, diagnostic testings, hospitalization, surgeries, prescriptions and other situations. Pet insurance comes in especially useful in the case of pet emergencies.
Pet insurance works differently for different animals, because they do not have the same needs. Dogs and cats have different insurance rates and policies, and these differ according to their age. Dog insurance is generally more expensive than cat insurance. There are also different types of coverage for birds and for exotic animals, which are generally less expensive than dogs and cats. The general rule is that the larger the pet is, the higher the insurance will cost.
Pet insurance works basically the same way human health insurance works, but definitely costs less. There are monthly premiums, co-pays and deductibles. In the event of an emergency, pet insurance can save owners thousands of dollars. When you research a pet insurance company, you will first look at the different premiums, which are usually between $100-500 per year, depending on the species, age and size of your pet. Co-payments and deductibles also depend on the premium. The insurance companies will also need to know if your pet has any hereditary conditions. Unlike human health insurance companies, you will usually get to choose your own veterinarian, instead of one in their network.

Aberdare Hall student library (19th-20th C.)
Aberdare Hall was a women's hall of residence for the University, established in 1885, by Lady Aberdare, (wife of the first College President). It was the first women's hall in Wales and the second in the UK. From its early days, a Library was established for the students' residential use. Its stock was mainly built up from personal donations of books by students in the Hall. The Library was closed in 2011 when part of the Hall was refurbished. A selection of the earlier stock was retained (modern student textbooks etc. were not retained). This, along with some index cards listing the contents of the Library from the earlier 20th century, is now held in Special Collections. Some of the music related books from the Students Library have been added to the University's Music Library.
Date range: 19th-20th century
Significance: Significant in Wales
Size: c. 500 vols.
Language: English
Keywords: Literature, history, students, recreation
Notes: The achive of official papers of the Hall's Trustees meetings are held by Glamorgan Archives.

Save my life, save my life
Let these tears be our secret
You and I, you and I
Once we were so close, save my life
My soul feels empty
I'm drowning in my tears
It's pain I'm learning
My heart is aching
Got poison in my veins
In hell, I'm burning
It's all or nothing
I'm asking you to give
Let live or die
Everything is better
Than this silent lie
Say that it's no lie
I need you to save my life
Save my life, save my life
Let me feel you breathing
In your hands, in your hands
Is the heart of mine, save my life

Reds boss Keith Hill has rejected another offer for winger Matty Done from Crystal Palace.
Hill says he wants at least £750,000 for the winger.
He said: "Whatever anyone says we have received phone calls and bids for players and it'll happen again. But I need protection, and if you sell players and assets then you will be changing your manager on a regular basis.
"Crystal Palace keep coming back for Matty Done but they haven't matched the price we want so they either need to start talking real business or go and find someone else.
"Why should we weaken ourselves and strengthen the arm of our rivals, Crystal Palace? It would be nonsensical."

Samsung Corby Pop to be called Samsung C3510 Genoa in Europe
Appeared in India as Samsung Corby Pop, the C3510 touchscreen phone is apparently called Samsung Genoa in Europe.
The Samsung C3510 Genoa shows up on Samsung Mobile's Czech website, as well as on a Turkish website.
The C3510 Genoa is only slightly different from the S3650 Corby when it comes to design. As for its features, these include a 2.8 inch QVGA touchscreen display, Bluetooth, FM radio, email, 1.3MP camera and MicroSD card support.
Samsung C3510 Genoa should be available in the first months of 2010. Its price will probably be similar to the one of the Indian Corby Pop – expect it to cost about $150. So there you have it: another ultra-cheap model from Samsung that will most probably help the company's plans to ship 100 million touchscreen phones in 2010.

The super-sized Duggar family from "19 Kids and Counting" proved that love is in full bloom during a super-sized new episode called "A Toast To Love," which aired on May 27 on TLC. As posted by ABC News on Tuesday, the episode was a bit shocking (by Duggar standards) because Jill and Derick broke courting rules after being apart for 60 days. Instead of a Duggar approved side hug, they ran into each other's arms when Derick returned from Nepal and gave each other a "frontal hug," as described by Jim Bob. Afterward, Derick said innocently, "I don't think we want to go that long in the future without seeing each other."
As fans now know, Jill Duggar is set to marry Derick Dillard on Saturday, June 21. With only 25 days until their big day, the lovebirds are busy with wedding plans and a bridal shower. According to The Knot, their shower was hosted by a church fellowship. The event had a sweet pink and green color scheme and included a matching cake.
During "A Toast To Love," 20 Duggars made the trek to the airport to meet Derick for the first time and welcome him back to the States. Jill and Derick were separated for two months, but carried on a long distance courtship – more than 7,000 miles away. With homemade signs and a camera crew on hand, the scene was a bit overwhelming. "I knew what to expect, but you can't quite prepare for it until you're actually there," Derick said upon his arrival.
Michelle Duggar, who had never met Derick in person, updated viewers on her recent trip to see a high-risk pregnancy specialist. Her blood work revealed that conception is not totally impossible, but "most unlikely" at her age. As posted by People Magazine on May 27, "Michelle Duggar remains hopeful she can have another child." However on "19 Kids and Counting," she seemed to accept the fact that her childbearing days may be over. "My family is growing in different ways," Michelle stated on Tuesday night's episode with a bit of sadness and reflection.
For a special treat, Michelle planned a triple date and evening out for she and Jim Bob, Jill and Derick, and Jessa and Ben. However, the twist was that it focused on etiquette. Derick, just home from Nepal, joked, "I spent two years in a country where we ate with our hands." Ben, hoping to impress the rest raised his glass in a "toast to love."
The super-sized episode of "19 Kids and Counting" ended with a surprise dinner theater production to honor Michelle and Jim Bob. Jana, the set director, stated, "It's a really special time because everyone is going off in different directions." Jessa added, "We wanted to show our love and appreciation for them for all they do for us." The Duggar boys, plus Ben and Derick, built the stage, while Jessa and Jinger supervised the meal that included soup, salad, steak, sweet potato fries, asparagus, apple pie and ice cream.
When Jim Bob and Michelle arrived, they were both shocked at their kids' hard work. Michelle had tears in her eyes and Jim Bob mentioned that he was extremely touched. The dinner theater included songs and musical performances, skits, a movie, and a poem that would touch any parent's heart to the core. "It was so creative," Michelle said in almost a whisper. Jim Bob added emotionally, "It makes me want to cry."
The 8th season of "19 Kids and Counting" comes to a close next week. "A Duggar Says…" is super-sized to one hour and airs at 9 p.m. EST on Tuesday, June 3 on TLC. While the girls are out promoting their new book, Derick takes the opportunity to do some secret planning back at home. After getting permission from Jim Bob to ask for Jill's hand in marriage, will he be able to pull off an intricate proposal?
The finale of "19 Kids and Counting" signals the end of the season for the Duggars, but the beginning of a new adventure for Amy Duggar. A special one-hour episode of "19 Kids and Counting" highlighting Amy's best moments airs at 8 p.m. EST on Tuesday, June 10, to be followed by "A Duggar Leaves Home" at 9 p.m. EST on TLC. Be sure to check out the slideshow and video above for a preview of Amy's "A Duggar Leaves Home."

Deploying CA Aion BRE Technology in a Web Application Framework
With most new applications implemented on the Web or as Web services, it is critical to tie mainframe server deployments to Web and Java objects. CA Aion BRE r11 exposes CA Aion components running in the CA Aion mainframe MAES facility to Java programs. By using J2EE Connection Architecture (JCA) and Java Resource Adapters (JRA) technology, Java programs can now call CA Aion mainframe methods, making those CA Aion BRE rule bases available to business-critical web applications. This presentation provides an overview of the Java/CA Aion architecture and how it can be used for CA Aion web deployment scenarios.

I'm looking for an outstanding version of Symphony No 7 myself. so I thought I'd canvas some opinions as to which interpretations of each individual symphony are the 'best'.
My favourite two of beethoven's symphonies are 6 & 7. I've yet to find an excellent version of 7. so far Norrington's version of number 6 is perfect for me, but 7 is lacking something for me.
I've got DG Lps of Karajan & BPO absolutely destroying pretty much the whole cycle too.
the BPO / Andre Cluytens version of 7 seems to be not quite there either.
so pick your favourites...

Diablo 3 was released on PC some time ago. Since then, Blizzard has moved form game breaking glitches on launch and crazy massive difficulty nerfs to a somewhat challenging game with a large amount of extra content. Last year it was announced that Diablo 3 was coming to PS3 and Xbox 360. When I reviewed that version I liked much more than the PC version because it felt like a real console dungeon crawler. The local couch co-op was great to play with friends and the game controlled so well. Diablo 3 on PC felt too small in scale compared to Diablo 2. However, it felt perfect on console.
When Reaper of Souls came out it was announced that a collected edition would be releasing on the eighth generation of gaming consoles. I got to review the Xbox One version, and I gotta tell you, the new changes just made the game better. I hardly found any drawback.
Diablo is back to take over the world, and the original story is unchanged from the previous version on the PS3/Xbox 360. However, when you complete Act IV you move onto Act V, with a wicked cool cutscene in true Blizzard fashion I might add. The transition is seemless and smooth. I appreciated that I didn't have to do anything special to "unlock" it.
Besides the story, there are a numerous amounts of additions to this version. The Reaper of Souls expansion has changed the rate at which legendary/rare loot drops, special rewards, and of course a brand new class to play as.
You can transfer your save file from ANY I repeat ANY platform. Methods to do that are on Blizzard's website, but I wanted to start fresh with the new class, the Crusader. It is rather fun to play, the game was missing a hypertank support with the initial release and the closest thing you got was the Barbarian. The Crusader refuses to die and he is the crowd control master. Diablo 3 focuses on hordes of enemies so naturally if your character is designed to control large groups of enemies, you are going to breeze through the game.
This was the case for me, I hardly dip below 50% HP when playing as the crusader because his natural health regeneration is incredibly high, especially when you use the Templar follower. Did his OP nature ruin the game? I thought it would but on harder difficulties he balances out and has a low damage output but high survivability. But that is enough talk, there is more to this game than the new class.
Rewards are a new thing, what I mean by this is when you do special actions like killing enemies with environmental traps or destroy a bunch of urns you get rewards for doing so. So for destroying 10 urns in a row you get a speed buff for 40 seconds. These help you progress through levels easier, but not all that much. It makes it more fun to destroy everything in a room as fast as you can. Simple, but it really is the little things that make it so great.
The loot drops are incredibly forgiving. At first, I was really against how often they give out legendary items. But then I realized something on my second playthrough. I don't care, anything that sucks I will just salvage anyway because there will always be something better. There isn't an auction house so saving super rare items is sort of pointless. The items hardly effected the way I play the game and that is something I can appreciate.
Changes have been made to the crafting system, I don't want to go into too much detail but let me just say that it is far more rewarding to craft your items than finding them in the field. If you do not like something on a weapon or armor piece, you can take it to the mystic and get that property changed. The g em system has also been revamped and it works better in terms of crafting and socketing.
This version of Diablo 3 is the best version to play. There is more content, more random events, better items, and harder bosses. While the game is still short, it has a lot of replay value this way, so you can keep playing even after you beat it 5 times because there will always be something new to find. I will admit I have been rather pessimistic about Diablo 3 since I first played t on PC, but it just feels so at home on the console. I am very impressed with The Ultimate Evil Edition and how it changed my viewpoint.
I give Diablo 3: Reaper of Souls – Ultimate Evil Edition a 9/10. It has everything you want in a couch dungeon crawling ARPG. I kind of wish there was still more end game content as opposed to just starting the game over again, and the story still felt somewhat impersonal when Act V wrapped up. The gameplay is solid and is fun with friends. At the end of the day, that is what these kinds of games are all about.

Sweet lolita/fairy inspired test dress
Added Nov 4, 2009
by scandium
The Capital Of.....
Inspired by fairy-kei and the lilac colourway of the infamous (at least to those who are part of lolita communities) Sugary Carnival print by Angelic Pretty, I made this dress. I'm not really happy with it, sadly—althoug the lace hem, zipper, and top makes me really happy, the back shirring is a mess (elastic thread, I hate you) pleating at the front I swear is off centre and the straps are uneven as well as being fused to cotton tape with hemming tape as that was literally all the useable material I had left over—for those reasons I've only worn this dress out once. Although I don't think the general public will see the flaws, I know they are there and it bugs me so much! Pattern was really really simple—two upside down trapezoids for the top at approx. bust+10cm and waist+10cm to allow for seam allowance, gathered rectangle for the skirt (2.5m hem right around I think…)
Material Notes
Got the fabric from the op-shop—think it's linen, but only because it sort of feels like a linen tablecloth what with the slubs in it. Was really nice to work with.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo.—Gemini Syndrome performed in front of a sold out crowd at Sunshine Studios Live, on April 15. They were the headlining act. Suspension Nine, No Thru Traffic and Darkness Within were the opening acts. Starset was the direct support.
Aaron Nordstrom is the vocalist, Rich Juzwick and Mike Salerno are the guitarists, Alessandro "AP" Paveri is the bassist and Brian Steele Medina is the drummer of Gemini Syndrome. Juzwick and Salerno also provides backup vocals.
Stage lights remained off and blue lights flickered from various directions, as Harry Belafonte's "Jump In Line (Shake, Shake Senora)" and Neil Diamond's "Sweet Caroline" was heard through the house speakers. Afterwards, Medina appeared on stage and squatted on one of the platforms near the edge of the stage. He made his way behind his drums and squatted on top of his drummer's stool. Paveri appeared next. The rest of Gemini Syndrome soon followed and began with "Lux".
Prior to the start of "Syndrome", Nordstrom thanked everyone mentioned they all had a quality, trait or condition they were ashamed of. He advised them to look around, embrace it and to tell them they were not alone. Before the start of the second verse, he encouraged the onlookers to raise their hands and they followed his lead.
Before the start of "Babylon"—Nordstrom asked the audience if they picked up Gemini Syndrome's recent album, "Lux". He went onto say if they had not; he encouraged them to purchase a copy and went onto say the song should have been on it. As he provided the vocals, he knelt down on one knee and belted out the lyrics. During the chorus, Juzwick and Salerno assisted Nordstrom with the backup vocals.
Nordstrom encouraged the audience to sing along to "Stardust", if they knew it and others formed a circle pit for the finale. Afterwards, Juzwick and Salerno gave away several guitar picks. Juzwick grabbed a set list from the ground, rolled it up into a ball, turned his back towards the crowd and threw it over his head. Meanwhile, Medina gave away several of his drum sticks. Nordstrom and Paveri continued to reach out and shook hands with those they could reach, from the stage.
"Pleasure And Pain", "Basement", "Falling Apart", "Belleview", "El Diablo". "Resurrection", "Pay For This", "Left Of Me", "Take This", "Imaginary" and "Mourning Star" were also a part of Gemini Syndrome's set.
