The Guildhall has welcomed a phenomenal number of visitors through its doors over the past year.
A total of 370,826 people passed through the 120-year-old landmark building since June 2013.
The building has been at the centre of city life since 1890 and following a £10 million refurbishment completed last June, has become a more vibrant and welcoming shared space for both local visitors and tourists.
Mayor of Derry Councillor Brenda Stevenson said she was delighted at the figure: "The Guildhall is the city's most iconic building, and one which is immediately associated with the city's profile and built heritage. Since its refurbishment the building has become a bright and open shared space, which is both a fascinating visitor attraction and a stunning venue for any public event. It has hosted weddings, concerts, craft and food fairs, and welcomed a diverse range of visitors through its doors over the past year. And the addition of both the exhibition area and the buzzing cafe has brought even more people through its doors."
Guildhall manager Michelle Murray said the Guildhall was always at the centre of city life as a venue for public and historic events and, since its refurbishment, had become even more accessible for visitors and tourists.
"I am delighted that its significance is reflected in the footfall for the past year, and we will continue to offer a warm welcome to all who come to enjoy this beautiful space," she said, thanking the staff for providing an exceptional visitor experience.
Last month the Guildhall scooped the award for Best Conservation Project at the biannual Royal Society of Ulster Architects awards ceremony. Architects, Consarc Design Group, were the lead consultant on the £10 million project that transformed the landmark building.

Winners & Losers From EADS-BAE Systems Failed Takeoff
EADS and BAE Systems spent a month trying to navigate the turbulence of completing a highly complicated merger. They failed.
The two aerospace and defense contractors were stymied with upset shareholders, hesitant defense ministries and worried governments and weren't able to complete the obstacle course.
Looking at the wreckage today, Deal Journal picks out the winners and losers from another failed giant merger:
Winner: EADS Shareholders – Shares of the Airbus parent have sunk since the talks first emerged on Sept. 12, but jumped 5.3% in Paris as the talks collapsed. Shares of EADS had lost 10% in the day after the talks were reported and shareholders like French media conglomerate Lagardere SCA started calling for significant changes in the deal.
Winner: Germany – EADS and BAE Systems tried to convince Germany to support the deal. But Germany remained concerned about domestic jobs. With the combined company would be headquartered in France with its defense business headquartered in the U.K., Germany worried it could be more exposed to job cuts. "I think that Germany's industrial interests in a strong value chain from research to development and on through to industrial production are best guaranteed in this (independent) form," said German Deputy Economy Minister Peter Hintze. Of course, it also now has to largely take the blame on this deal collapse.
Winner: Daimler – The German auto maker was planning to sell a 7.5% stake in EADS to the German government as part of the deal, giving Germany the equal footing with France that it sought. Like other EADS shareholders, however, the deal talks had lowered the value of that position. But the deal's death isn't killing Daimler's sale, it said today it still aims to sell the stake to Germany, and now could be able to get a higher price.
Loser: BAE Systems – EADS can likely regroup and continue on its strategy of focusing on Airbus, but for BAE "the future looks different as it has potentially damaged its market position in the US – its largest single market – at a time when the budget is falling and the sequester is looming nearer," RBC Capital warned in a note. "Shareholders may also have less confidence in the outlook despite this deal being described as a merger of opportunity and not desperation." BAE shares fell 1% in London.
Losers: Ian King and Tom Enders – The CEOs of BAE and EADS, respectively, spent the past month on a full-force tour to get this deal across the finish line and failed. Even today's release, which highlights all the steps they made and the "sound industrial logic" of the deal, shows they still believe it would have worked. Now they have to go back to their shareholders and convince them they are the right men to come up with a new plan.
Loser: The bankers – Goldman Sachs Morgan Stanley, and Gleacher Shacklock were working for BAE Systems while Evercore BNP Paribas, Lazard, HSBC, Perella Weinberg J.P. Morgan andBofA-Merrill Lynch were on the side of EADS. While the deal had a complicated structure and big price tag, meaning the bankers likely were doing plenty of work, they will now get a much smaller bit of pay, potentially costing them over $100 million combined.
Loser: Europe – All of it. The bickering between the European Union has famously dragged a debt crisis that once was largely restricted to relatively tiny Greece into a major international conflagration for over two years. Now two of its giant entities looked to form a major competitor to the U.S. and the governments fail to agree on how they should control it. As RBC said in a research report, now the continent's defense industry will remain fragmented, somewhat like its Union appears to be.
–Dana Cimilluca contributed to this report.
UPDATE: This post has been updated to remove a mention of Ondra Partners advising BAE Systems on the deal. Ondra Partners was actually advising a BAE Systems shareholder, Invesco, not the firm itself.

Sikeston Mayor Mike Marshall called for a committee to be formed to look into the possibility during Thursday's Sikeston Area Chamber of Commerce meeting. Marshall and Miner Mayor Mitch Thompson were the guest speakers for the luncheon.
"Sikeston has got a lot of good things going for it. Miner has a lot of good things going. Right now they are going in the same direction but on parallel paths," said Marshall. "If we could consolidate it could be good for both communities."
After the meeting, Marshall noted several Sikeston residents have expressed interest in being part of the committee. No timetable is set, the Sikeston Mayor added.
Miner's Mayor emphasized the proposal will need to be studied. "Then we will leave it up to the citizens of Sikeston and Miner on what direction they want to take."
Prior to making the proposal on the merger, both mayors provided updates on their communities.
Thompson spoke of Miner's recent growth in commercial and private properties. The community has added two new restaurants in the past year and the expansion by Lambert's will also bring more business to the town. He noted several new businesses are being added at the Sikeston Factory Outlet Stores and businesses already in the community are expanding.
Also a new subdivision has already brought 15 new families to Miner, Thompson said.
"But with growth comes some growing pains," he continued. According to Thompson the city will need to look at expansion of its storm drainage system as well as sewer and water facilities to meet continued growth.
"With our low tax rate and easy access to the interstate we are hoping the improving economy will trickle down to Miner and to Sikeston," he concluded.
Sikeston's mayor pointed to recent efforts in the community to solve problems. In the community's clean-up efforts during the last year there were 91 derelict vehicles removed from private property and 200 citations issued to those with junk, overgrown grass or weeds on their property.
As part of the community's improvements, the passage of the sales tax will fund additional Department of Public Safety personnel, Marshall said. Also it will help bring an expansion of the Sikeston Area Higher Education Center, he noted.
Ticking through the city's budget list, Marshall pointed out several areas of funding to enhance the community including work on streets, drainage and parks. City employees recently received a raise and there will be improvements to Sikeston's computer system, he added.
Noting out the city's changing landscape with the recent demolition of buildings, Marshall said this will pave the way for new construction. Also, he continued, it has prompted work by private citizens to improve their properties.
"We are seeing people take pride in our town and that is what we wanted to see," said Marshall. "I think we are reaching a point ... where we are turning things around and I would like to keep that going."
During the meeting Missy Marshall, executive director of the Chamber, listed upcoming activities. These include:
* An art display, "Creations from the Cat Ranch," by Tom Reynolds is at the Sikeston Depot through the month of July.
* July 12-18 will be the NGA/Hooters Health Facilities Rehab Center Classic at the Bootheel Golf Club.
* On July 12 Cape Girardeau resident Morley Swingle will lecture on his book, "The Gold of Cape Girardeau," at the Depot. The event begins at 7 p.m.
* The next Chamber Membership Luncheon is July 22 at the Clinton Building in the Sikeston Sports Complex. Local candidates will be the guest speakers.

The Department of Anesthesiology and Pain Medicine has created a six year training program intended to increase the number of anesthesiology residents that pursue training in research. This program is designed for individuals who wish to undertake an academic career devoted to research after completing a standard four year anesthesiology residency. The "Bonica Scholars Program" is named for John Bonica, the first chair of anesthesiology at University of Washington and a pioneer in the fields of anesthesiology and pain medicine.
Under this program, a small number of awards (1 or 2 each year depending on availability of funding) will be made to incoming residents who demonstrate an interest in research and a willingness to commit to continue their careers in the department after completing their ACGME residency training (and any subsequent fellowship training) to undertake two years of further training in research.
Bonica Scholars will enter the program through a separate match track and will enter as CBY residents (Interns) in the "4 year" program. They will receive an annual award of $10 000 during each of the CA1, CA2 and CA3 years of the residency training and if appropriate, for a UW ACGME approved clinical fellowship position provided the fellowship training period follows immediately after the CA3 year and is conducted at the University of Washington. The annual award will not be made during the Clinical Base Year (CBY/Internship).
The receipt of the annual award is contingent upon the Bonica Scholar excelling in his/her clinical training and didactic education, remaining in good standing during their residency training, and demonstrating a continuing commitment to research.
In order to remain in good standing in the residency program, all residents must satisfy the ACGME, ABA and UW program essential requirements, these are described in detail in the UW Anesthesiology Resident Manual and are available on request.
To demonstrate a continuing commitment to research Bonica Scholars are expected to participate in activities such as the research fellows' journal club, lectures and seminars related to research, and activities arranged for visiting professors. Bonica Scholars are also encouraged to develop relationships with members of the research faculty both within and outside the Department of Anesthesiology and Pain Medicine, and pursue opportunities to become involved in research activities as far as the residency program requirements and departmental duty hours policy allow. Bonica Scholars will be offered opportunities to attend regional and national meetings including the ASA FAER scholars program, Western Anesthesia Residents Program and other research centered activities.
Bonica Scholars are not expected to perform research work during residency or to undertake any extra lab work or other studies during their post-call or other scheduled days off during their standard 4 years of ACGME residency training.
Please call, email or write if you need additional information or assistance. Contact Louena Goodwin: 206-543-2773, fax 206-543-2958, email@example.com.

Here is How to Use PS4's DualShock 4 Controller Wirelessly on PS3
Sony's latest PlayStation 4 console comes bundled with the new DualShock 4 controller. Being the latest console's primary controller, DualShock 4 is similar to its predecessor in many ways, nonetheless, it is the most radical redesign of the PlayStation 4 controller since the introduction of DualShock. PlayStation 4 console doesn't support previous DualShock controllers, but you can now use DualShock 4 controller wirelessly on your PlayStation 3 console.
You can Now Use PlayStation 4's DualShock 4 Controller Wirelessly on PlayStation 3
Sony's PlayStation 3 console has supported the DualShock 4 controller ever since it was launched with the PlayStation 4 console, though it only works if the controller is connected through a USB wire. However, now it looks like one of recent PlayStation 3 updates from Sony allow users to connect the DualShock 4 controller to the PlayStation 3 wirelessly. It wasn't announced officially, but a Reddit user discovered the method, which is given below.
- Connect DS4 with wire to PS3 then turn on.
- Go to Accessory settings.

Evidence shows how childhood obesity can be prevented
Environmental Approaches Improving Physical Activity Levels and Dietary Habits Are Key
Targeting children aged six to 12 with school-based programmes that encourage healthy eating, physical activity and positive attitudes to body image are among a range of interventions that can help reduce levels of obesity, according to a new review of the evidence. While some people argue against taking action because they worry that the action could itself do harm, evidence of harm due to the interventions themselves was not found across the studies. "There is now compelling evidence that strategies can be implemented to halt the growing rates of obesity in children. We know that doing nothing is likely to result in increases of overweight and obesity, particularly in countries where the prevalence continues to rise", says the lead researcher of this study, Prof Elizabeth Waters, who works at the McCaughey Centre at the University of Melbourne, Australia. The research is published in The Cochrane Library.
Childhood obesity can cause social, psychological and health problems, and is linked to obesity later in life and poor adult health.
An international team of researchers have updated a previous Cochrane Review by searching for new evidence from existing studies to see which forms of intervention could have maximum effect in helping children to avoid becoming obese. They found that since 2005 the number of trials had increased from 22 to 55. With this increased pool of information they could make a more thorough assessment of the various approaches people had taken.
Becoming obese is strongly linked to inappropriate nutrition and low levels of physical activity, so unsurprisingly many of the programmes aimed to improve either or both of these behaviours.
The studies varied in terms of what programmes they evaluated for preventing obesity and the degree of benefit they identified. Nevertheless, taken together the review indicates that the interventions had a positive impact on average bodyweight. "Our findings show that obesity prevention is worth investing in. Given the range of programmes included in this review, it is hard to say exactly which components are the best, but we think the strategies to focus on are those that seek to change environments, rather than just the behaviour of individuals," says Waters. The evidence identifies a number of promising policies and strategies that could be considered for implementation. These include:
- Including healthy eating, physical activity and body image in school curricula.
- Increasing the number of opportunities for physical activity and the development of fundamental movement skills during the school week.
- Improving the nutritional quality of food supplied in schools.
- Creating environments and cultural practices within schools that support children eating healthier foods and being active throughout each day.
- Professional development and capacity building activities which help to support teachers and other staff as they implement health promotion strategies and activities.
- Giving more attention to parent support and home activities that encourage children to be more active, eat more nutritious foods and spend less time in screen-based activities.
"Research that aims to reduce childhood obesity must now concentrate on finding ways of embedding effective interventions in health, education and care systems, so that we can make population-wide, long term impacts on the levels of obesity," says Waters.

About The Cochrane Library
The Cochrane Library contains high quality health care information, including the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, from The Cochrane Collaboration. Cochrane Reviews bring together research on the effects of health care and are considered the gold standard for determining the relative effectiveness of different interventions. The Cochrane Collaboration (http://www.cochrane.org) is a UK registered international charity and the world's leading producer of systematic reviews. It has been demonstrated that Cochrane systematic reviews are of comparable or better quality and are updated more often than the reviews published in print journals (Wen J et al; The reporting quality of meta-analyses improves: a random sampling study. Journal of Clinical Epidemiology 2008; 61: 770-775).
In June 2011, the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews received an impact factor of 6.186, from Thomson ISI, placing it in the top ten general and internal medicine journals.

We get a few questions that are repeatedly asked by our clients and readers. Instead of answering them through email again and again, we've decided to take your most frequently asked questions and post them here:
What Steps Do I Need to Take to Start a Website?
Question – Hi Robin, I want to have a website for my missionary work in the Philippines.I am clueless about how this works or how to do it. What do you charge to build a website? How long does it take? Are there any other fees to have it online. I would like to set it up with the capabilities to accept donations (I am not a non profit) and be able to posts pics of the things that i am doing there….Thanks, Ross
Answer – Great questions and pretty common ones. Here's the breakdown for you, Ross. I'm sure this will help others as well…
Setting up your website in 3 easy steps:
Step 1 & 2 – A website consists of two parts. First, you'll need your piece of web property. Look at it like you would when purchasing real estate. First there is the property…that's where your house will sit. That's your Web Hosting Platform. I recommend Hostmonster for their excellent customer support and almost zero downtime. Your web hosting platform is where your files will be held once your website is built. The second part is your domain name…that's your house that sits on your property. You'll need to find a domain name that hasn't already been taken by someone else.
In order to find an available domain name, go on over to Hostmonster and type a domain name that you like into the "Domain Check" section. It's a tab at the top, toward the right side of the page. If the domain you are thinking of isn't available, Hostmonster will come up with some alternative options that are close. If you don't like any of them, keep trying by typing in new domain names until you find one that is available. (Another benefit of Hostmonster is the fact that you can have as many domains as you'd like on that one single hosting platform at no extra charge. Personally, I host about 40 sites, all for about $100 per year, which I write off on my business taxes)
Once you find an available domain name, Hostmonster will take you through the steps to sign up for your webhosting / domain name combo.
Total cost of these first two steps? Hostmonster hosting for one year along with your chosen domain name = About $100.
Click here to check out Hostmonster's plan.
Step 3 – Once you've got your hosting platform and domain name, your part is basically done. This is where I come in. I can build a quick and easy no-nonsense site that you'll be able to add regular blog posts and photos to. I can also add a Paypal Donation Button on the side that will show up right on the home page.
You'll have a custom designed header, a Home Page, an About Me or About Us Page, a Contact Me or Contact Us Page, and room for all the blog posts and updates your heart desires. When you add them, they'll show up on your site just like they do on this website…toward the middle half of the page, in small boxes with titles and teaser lines. They will be in chronological order.
How long will it take to complete your site? Depending on my workload, generally about a week.
How much will it cost? An easy site is just under $800.

Fighting hunger is a struggle when food banks have trouble keeping their shelves stocked, but a unique partnership that started in western Virginia is now making a difference across the country.
Last year, Kroger partnered with Feeding America Southwest Virginia on a pilot project. Instead of sending unsold products to a reclamation center, the grocery chain delivered non-perishable items directly to the food bank.
Volunteers have helped process more than $1 million worth of food in Salem, and the program has now expanded to 12 food banks across the country.
Carl York is a spokesperson for Kroger Mid-Atlantic. " It's such a wise business decision," York told WDBJ7, "and to be able to help the community like that at the same time, I think a lot of people have their eyes on it, and I think you're going to see more and more of it."
Pamela Irvine is the President and CEO of Feeding America Southwest Virginia. "That feels really good to know that not only are we impactful here in our region," Irvine said, "but we had the opportunity to set a program up for the rest of the country."
Kroger saves money. The food bank receives more donations. And less food is wasted in the process.

In 1963, "Baby" Houseman (Jennifer Grey) is a 17-year-old spending the summer with her family at a resort hotel in the Catskills; she plans on being in the Peace Corps next summer, so this is expected to be her last summer as a carefree adolescent. Baby doesn't get along with her older sister, Lisa (Jane Brucker), and she's bored to tears by most of the older guests at the resort. However, one night Baby hears what sounds like a party going on in the employee's dormitory, and she pokes her head in to discover most of the hotel staff enjoying the sort of close dancing that would get you kicked out of the senior prom in no time flat. Baby is particularly struck by handsome Johnny Castle (Patrick Swayze), a dancer in the resort's floor show, and falls head over heels in love, wanting to be near him. When Johnny's dance partner, Penny (Cynthia Rhodes), finds herself pregnant after a fling with one of the waiters, Baby volunteers to learn her steps and take her place; however, Baby's father, Dr. Jake Houseman (Jerry Orbach), will have none of it, convinced that Johnny is a low life and that his daughter is too young to understand her own feelings. Dirty Dancing was a surprise box-office hit, and the soundtrack album was an even bigger success, spawning several hit singles and inspiring a top-drawing concert tour featuring several of its artists.

Sierra Club sues feds over oil shale development
The federal government is being sued for opening up parts of the Rocky Mountains to oil shale development.
The Sierra Club and six other conservation groups filed the lawsuit Thursday in federal court in Denver.
The groups say the U.S. Bureau of Land Management failed to consider how widespread development of public lands would harm rare desert plants and threatened species of wildlife.
The lawsuit says the government program violates the Endangered Species Act.
The federal government decided in November to open up parts of Colorado, Utah and Wyoming for oil shale development for legitimate efforts to squeeze oil out of hard rock.
Other groups joining the lawsuit are Grand Canyon Trust, Living Rivers, Southern Utah Wilderness Alliance, Rocky Mountain Wild, the Center for Biological Diversity and the Biodiversity Conservation Alliance.

Uniform Chart of Accounts for Texas Counties
October 2002
Appendix B
Public Comments
The following public comments were received by the FDAC following the publication of the First Draft of the Uniform Chart of Accounts for Texas Counties published in the Texas Register on May 31, 2002.
Per your request, I have reviewed the committee draft of the Proposed Uniform Chart of Accounts for Texas Counties. I believe that the committee has done a very good job of providing a breakdown of the various functions of County government. However many of the Texas counties are small, such as Calhoun County. We have a population of 20,000 and my office consists of myself and three other very capable employees. I do not believe that we would have any trouble recording the information by functions as shown in your chart. We would, however, have a problem in accumulating the information to record.
An example would be the Justice System. You have this broken down by Criminal Justice, Civil Justice and Indigent Defense. We have three District Courts that operate in a six-county area, we have a county court at law in our county, five justices of the peace and a county court. These courts all handle civil cases, criminal cases and indigent cases. To properly break down the expenditures by function each of these judges, court reporters, clerks, bailiffs and etc. would be required to keep accurate time records of the time spent on each case. There may be occasions where a district court could handle 25 cases per day. Some of these cases may be criminal, some may be civil and some may be indigent. I believe that the workload on these people would be considerably increased and therefore the production of the courts decreased. In larger counties where there are people available to keep these types of time records, I believe this would be a good procedure, however, in our county, I am afraid that we would not be able to obtain accurate information.
Perhaps the functions should be different for large counties, medium-sized counties and small counties. I am sure that this information would be very useful, however the cost to obtain the information and the time involved in keeping the records may outweigh the usefulness of the information. A similar problem would exist in Corrections and Rehabilitation between Housing and Booking and Supervision. In our county there are times when only one jailer is on duty. If the jailer is required to keep track of his time in booking prisoners and supervising prisoners he may have to have additional help. Juvenile Services also pose the same problem. The same people involved in the Justice System are involved in the Juvenile Service.
I hope that these comments are useful to you.
Arlene N. Marshall, County Judge
Ben H. Comiskey, Jr. CPA
Calhoun County Auditor
I just received the information packet from the Committee today and the first concern that comes to mind is whether or not the Uniform Chart of Accounts will be compatible with the budgetary accounting system software package we have. I am forwarding a copy of the Committee's information to Mr. Jim Stateczny with Hill Country Software and Support to see if he thinks his system will be able to adapt to whatever changes this will entail.
My recommendation would be that software companies specializing in county governmental accounting software be involved, to some extent, in the development process to be sure their systems will be able to adapt to the new chart of accounts.
If the new chart would not be compatible with our accounting software (and if no comparably priced alternative was made available), I see that as a major stumbling block in Bailey County's ability to adopt the new format.

Bailey County Treasurer

In response to the draft for a uniform chart of accounts, it looks pretty good. In our small rural county we would probably adopt to parts of it, although some of the functions would not be applicable to us.
Ruth Ann Young,
Garza County Treasurer
I am the county auditor in Kerr and Bandera; the existing chart of accounts in each of these counties are similar and each is detailed enough to comply with the preliminary uniform function as drafted. I had already built an Excel model to export each account into the CAFR in compliance with GASB 34. That was a relatively easy process that took only two days to complete. The functions that I included for our CAFR are not exactly the same; however the functions that the committee has drafted are logical so I do not have a problem with the draft.
I appreciated the work of the committee. I think that the result of this process will be a very valuable tool for many counties trying to comply with GASB 34.
You get an OK from me on the draft.
Tommy Tomlinson
Kerr and Bandera County Auditor
I have already sent you an e-mail indicating that our county would adopt this format. I am requesting that the Comptroller adopt this before 10-1-02 as most counties could begin the fiscal year with the new format. If we do make a change, the beginning of our fiscal year is the most logical time.
Tommy Tomlinson
Kerr County Auditor
I have reviewed the preliminary uniform functions/programs drafted by the committee and have only one problem that Comal County would have in complying with such a breakdown. This would be in the area of the justice system and breaking down expenses between criminal and civil endeavors. We are a small/medium-sized county with a population of approximately 80,000; as such our courts/attorney/clerks offices are not separated/specialized and handle all case types through combined offices. Thus, any split between criminal and civil would be a prorating based on civil vs. criminal revenues or case load stats. Furthermore, I'm not sure how useful this information would then be to our commissioners court in management and decision making for the county.
My second comment is a general concern, not specifically directed at the list mailed. The second to the last paragraph of transmittal letter emphasizes that "compliance with a uniform chart of accounts be voluntary and require no additional costs to Texas counties." I would hope the committee, the Legislature and the Comptroller keep this in mind now, and in the future. I would hope that this project does not evolve into a mandatory system similar to the PEIMS system for Texas school districts, who receive a substantial amount of funding from the state, which is really not the case for counties.
David Renken, CPA
Comal County Auditor
The proposed uniform chart of accounts for Texas Counties would serve my office well and I would be willing to adopt this format.
Suzanne Kucera
Matagorda County Treasurer
I am in receipt of the above-mentioned Chart of Accounts. Our auditor will respond to this issue.
James Kitten
Lubbock County Commissioner
I have looked over the "Uniform Chart of Accounts" sent to me by Susan A. Spataro.
The draft seems to cover a broad enough spectrum of functions/program descriptions to be workable in most counties.
Most important to me was the fact that the Legislature would not require compliance only ask for voluntary participation and that no additional cost would be passed on to the Texas Counties.
If I can be of further help...
Beth Wisenbaker
Hopkins County Commissioner
My comments are as follows:
Corrections is a separate function. Why is this not a sub-function under sheriff or law enforcement? There is a need for separating jail costs out however. I'm not sure about including CSCD with correction or jail expenses. These are generally seen as two separate areas, one judicial and one law enforcement, and there are many cases where these functions need to be separated in costs.
Juvenile services are separate and this group considers themselves Judicial or justice, as does CSCD. Why is this not a sub-group under Justice?
Were corrections and juvenile separated in this manner because it is believed some software programs would not be able to handle the separations? If so, what about the other breakdowns in the sub-groups?
In the Justice function, there is a separation of expenses by criminal and civil. This will be the most difficult part for a lot of counties. Although I see a need for this information, in many cases there will be no way to do such a separation, as employees and the office are not segregated enough for such a breakdown. Even if they are, it will likely cause the greatest change in the budget and chart of accounts, however, it could be done if need be if it is only a matter of budgeting. To do this accurately would require software with a program function, particularly that could be applied in payroll/HR to individual employees.
- In General Government, separating County Judge and County Clerk functions will be the most difficult for a lot of counties, in the other areas the consideration would be civil vs. criminal, but here you are actually crossing functional lines between general government and justice, etc. You should have a rule of one way or the other (probably general government) if it cannot be broken down. Or you could decide e.g., that if the County Judge certifies that he works 40 percent on judicial to the state in order to receive the salary supplement, that his office is divided by a determined percentage to Judicial.
These are my comments that are not meant to raise questions for discussion, not necessarily against the format.

I have reviewed the Uniform Chart of Accounts for Texas Counties. Oldham County has a Chart of Accounts, much like the sample you sent, though not as much detail.
We have general administration, and all departments are included within that title, and roads, which includes all functions of road maintenance. We do not have a unit system for roads.
Our system works for us, but should adapt easily to the standards you are proposing.
Helen Wyly
Oldham County Auditor
After going through our budget and getting with our auditor, our present accounts fits into the draft so there would be no recommendations from Liberty County. Good luck in your process!
Commissioner Todd M. Fontenot
We would be supportive of Cooke County's need to report expenditures and receipts consistent with a Uniform Chart of Accounts. Please let us know where we can be of assistance.
Tony Maddox
Executive Director

Bell County, after making some modifications to our current system, would be able to adopt the proposed format for our county.
Jon Burrows,
Bell County Judge
Bell County is currently working with consultants on our financial system to update for GASB 34, including modification of our current chart of accounts. We will consider this draft of preliminary uniform functions/programs when creating the changes. Our goal will be to build a chart of accounts that will allow for flexibility and future growth.
Donna Eakin
Bell County Auditor
We have reviewed the chart of accounts that was mailed to our office and we would not have a problem adopting this format since our current system basically reports the same way. With very few exceptions our structure is set the way the committee is proposing. Anything different, our system could be modified. If you have any questions, please contact us.
Thank you,
Teresa Molinar

My name is Joella McPherson and I am the Randall County Auditor. Our population is about 104,000.
My concerns are that several items that you have broken out among different functions and sub-functions/programs are not split that way in most counties.
For example Randall County has one county court at law judge. He hears Civil, Criminal, Juvenile, and Family Matters. He has one budget. Yet according to your suggestion his budget 2- Functions: a- Justice b-Juvenile; in the Justice Function his budget would have to be broken down among all three sub-functions.
The District Clerk would have to be broken down between two sub-functions.
I am concerned that this would cause a great deal of extra work for small to medium counties in the allocation process.
Joella McPherson
Randall County Auditor
Thank you for requesting my comments on the proposed Uniform Chart of Accounts. The brief period allowed for study and reply may affect the tone and content of my remarks. I received your request on Tuesday, May 28.
Cochran County has used the Comptroller's Standard Financial Management System for Texas Counties (the "Red Book") since the early 80s. Compliance with this system and chart of accounts is voluntary, also. Although not perfect, the "red book" has served the county well. I don't know how many counties are using it, but I suspect there are about as many as will use any 'voluntary' chart. Perhaps I have become cynical, but I fail to see the value in reinventing the wheel to come up with yet another system most counties won't use.
There are many of us out here working pretty hard to keep all our plates spinning, now. Under this proposed chart of accounts, we will need to split our one and only District Judge between Criminal Justice, Civil Justice, and Indigent Defense. The same would apply to our combined County and District Clerk, County Attorney, Constable, etc. What real difference does it make? There will still be crime. There will still be divorce. The State Legislature will still pass unfunded mandates. And each state grant will still have different accounting rules.
Danny Wiseley
Cochran County Auditor
In reviewing the proposed Uniform Chart of Accounts, I believe the group has done an excellent job in making an assessment about what County Government is really all about. This is an excellent start.
I offer the following questions and suggestions:
1. It would seem that fundamental to developing this chart would be determining the real objective of the task. While it is admirable to make the data comparable across all 254 counties, that is really a secondary objective to making the data meaningful and then comparable.
I believe the root objective to be accomplished is to allow each County to accurately determine (at a minimum) the total cost of service for each of the elements included as Sub-Function/Program along with a corresponding unit of measure to determine a cost per some common unit of measurement.
If this objective is appropriate, then a couple of changes to the chart might be advisable:
Facilities management should not be a Sub-Function/Program but rather a component of each program.
Building and maintaining buildings is not a general governmental function.
Building and maintaining court buildings is a part of the cost of service for operating the justice system.
Building and maintaining correction facilities is a part of the cost of operating a correction system.
And so on.
The District Attorney – Civil Section (County Attorney – Civil Section) is not actually a part of the Justice System. This function normally represents other county officials in general; operational issues and thus should either be classified as a part of General Government (like Human Resources) or specifically identified to the function of government that they serve.
My suspicion is that the civil section may have much more dealing with the operation of the jail than they do with the operation of the election department. It simply comes down to the question of how "accurate" do you want the distribution of costs to be and the level of effort required to get there.
I do not understand the need for a separate Function for Juvenile Service, rather than simply having this be a Sub-Function/Program under Corrections and Rehabilitation.
I understand the need for being able to identify this function but does it need to be a different Function?
Similarly, Environmental Services seems to be a Sub-Function/Program under the Function of Health & Human Services. Or more specifically three sub-functions
Natural resources (not quite as clearly health but close enough)
Sanitation (clearly health issue)
Waste recycling (another health issue)
For the Tax Assessor, is there any relevance to categorizing the efforts/costs associated with the operation of the motor vehicle process in a different function (possibly transportation) since the fees generated in this process have some bearing on transportation issues?
- Corrections
- Criminal Justice
- Tax Administration
- Roads & Bridges
- Prisoner days
- Number of courts
- Number of parcels
- Number of road miles maintained

I'm the Val Verde County Auditor. I have received your survey and have the following comments. Being from a small county it becomes very difficult to obtain funding for large capital expenditures, which would be the case for changing or updating our present system. I also see some problems in implementing such a program due to the fact there would be break out reporting by department. For example, all the court systems would be required to report based upon criminal, civil, and indigent defense. It would be very difficult and time consuming to report in this manner.
The overall system of reporting by function appears well laid out and would not be that difficult to implement if some of the break out detail were slim-lined.
Frank L. Lowe
Val Verde County Auditor
The Texas Department of Transportation's Finance Division has reviewed the "Proposed Uniform Chart of Accounts for Texas Counties" developed by the Texas County Financial Data Advisory Committee. As part of the review and comment process, we would like to request that the sub-function "Roads and Bridges" be changed to "Roads and Bridges Construction" and "Roads and Bridges Maintenance".
County road and bridge construction and maintenance expenditures are a major portion of the local highway finance data we collect and provide to the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) as mandated by the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT). Information provided in these reports is used by Congress to develop part of a national highway database.
James M. Bass, Director
Finance Division TXDOT
Regarding the Uniform Chart of Accounts proposed by the Texas County Financial Data Advisory Committee, you should have received a request from the Texas Department of Transportation's Finance Division to change the sub-function "Roads and Bridges" to "Roads and Bridges Construction" and "Roads and Bridges Maintenance."
In addition, please consider revising the Uniform Chart of Accounts to encompass collection and reporting of motor vehicle title and registration fees by the County Tax Assessor-Collector, which includes the collection and use of County Road and Bridge Fees in accordance with Transportation Code, Sections 502.102, 502.103, and 502.108.
This could be accomplished by renaming and expanding the "Tax Administration" sub-function under General Government or by adding a "Vehicle Title and Registration" sub function under "Roads and Transportation."
Thank you for your consideration of this request. If you have any questions, please contact me at 512-305-8984 or David Linzey, Director of Headquarters Operations, Vehicle Title and Registration Division, at 512-465-7719.
This request is also being mailed to you in a letter.
Steven Polunsky,
TxDOT Legislative Affairs Office
(512) 305-8984 fax (512) 463-9389
Please be advised that Andrews County has reviewed the objectives of the Committee and supports them enthusiastically.
It is my opinion that Andrews County is as close to compliance and attainment of the aforementioned objectives as can be at this time. Andrews County reporting system utilizing the various software packages from The Software Group, located in Plano, Texas identifies the compliance of the first step in standardizing the reporting process outlined in your letter of May 22, 2002.
At this point, my recommendation for further clarity and utilization would be: Include Community & Economic Development and Roads & Transportation with General Government. Combine Criminal Justice and Civil Justice as one Sub-Function. Combine Environmental Services with Health and Human Services as one Function.
The above suggestions and/or recommendations will not be decisive in Andrews County's compliance; moreover, Andrews County is committed to the adoption of the proposed format.

Andrews County Auditor

A Jericho man is spreading good cheer to the Vermont Children's Hospital.
Tim Mckenna of Jericho and his wife, Gail McKenna, donated three $1,111 checks plus a $1 bill to the hospital Friday.
Pediatrician Dr. Lewis First accepted the gift from their C.A.T.C.H. 22 foundation.
After Friday's gift, the charity has now donated $22,222 to local children's hospitals.
"This is about the community giving back to our children's hospital to truly make it ours," said First.
The charity started as a youth football league nine years ago.

It started a couple months ago right after we arrived in Denmark. A giant billboard announced the coming of a cupcake shop, Agnes Cupcakes, to be exact. We went home immediately and looked up the website. Hmph. It looked like we were going to be waiting a while, but that did not keep us from guessing what wonderful treats would be coming our way eventually. Fast forward to present time and this little gem is now open for business and we could not be happier!
This is the kind of shop that draws you in from the street. Rows and rows of cupcakes beckon you to come in and try a bite… or two… or three!
The variety will drive you mad! However are you suppose to narrow it down? Lemon Meringue, dark chocolate, mint chocolate, blueberry…
Each one has it's own appeal and while standing there it is hard to avoid drooling, which of course would be completely uncool so you pretend like you come into cupcake shops such as these every day… even though inside you want to jump up and down, clap your hands, and do a little happy cupcake dance!
The menu board does not help much, except to make you realize that you will now be stopping by every Tuesday for the mint chocolate cupcake and every Saturday as well. We wouldn't want to miss the cheesecake cupcake, right?
Do not be fooled by the empty stools because we snuck in very early. We pass by this shop daily to take our boys to school so we can attest from many walk-by's that unless you are an early riser you are likely to be fighting for a seat every time you come. Malene, the shop manager, told me that they have been selling over 800 cupcakes a day and have only had one day so far in which they did not sell out. Plans are under way for t-shirts and take home kits for baking your own Agnes Cupcakes, which I know my kids will insist on having! I'm sure I will pretend to put up a fight, but do not be surprised if you see us all proudly wearing a cupcake t-shirt soon!
So, what is the very best part about being among the first to visit the coolest, hippest, newest shop in town? Taste testing, of course! We waited until our littlest was asleep to sneak away with the two older kids, which we felt fully justified in doing since he would, naturally, not even know what he was missing! Which, ironically, left more for us! Each bite was like a piece of home… sweet fluffy icing on a soft little bed of goodness. Mmm hmmm! They were gone within a blink of an eye and yet we are all still talking about them.
Anyone want to go out for Agnes cupcakes? I must warn you, though… if there is only one dark chocolate cupcake left I will totally be thumb wrestling you for it!

A full decade after being made available for PCs and PlayStations, Rockstar's huge hit Grand Theft Auto: Vice City is now finally up for grabs for mobile gamers too. Just as promised, the action-adventure game went live both in Google Play and on iTunes earlier Wednesday, though Android users have a lot to complain about.
Not only is the support limited to a small and odd list of devices that is missing, among others, phones like HTC's One X+ and EVO LTE, but there's also a major "Xapk validation error" blocking users from installing the game. The glitch seems to make its presence felt on a number of other important and popular gadgets, including the Nexus 7 and Samsung Galaxy S3, which has led to the game's average evaluation in Google Play to be an awful 1.5 stars. Ouch!
If you can get Vice City to work however, you'll definitely be satisfied with the "updated" yet retro graphics, awesome controls and "countless" hours of game play. The new GTA installment is $4.99 both in Google Play and iTunes.

The Concord Board of Health has a long history of proactive tobacco control efforts to prevent youth access to tobacco and nicotine products. The Concord bylaw, Sale of Tobacco to Minors, enacted in 1991 and enforced by the Health Division, prohibits the sale of tobacco products to those under the age of 18 and also prohibits self-service tobacco displays, tobacco vending machines and free samples of tobacco products.
In 2012, the Board of Health enacted a regulation that a) prohibits the sale of nicotine delivery products (including e-cigarettes and other nicotine delivery products such as candies and gum) to minors; and b) prohibits the sale of tobacco products and nicotine delivery products in healthcare institutions, including pharmacies.
In 2014, the Board of Health plans to consider revisions to its tobacco regulation to further restrict youth access to tobacco products. The Board's proposed regulation will prohibit the sale of single cigars and blunt wraps to minors and prohibit free samples or use of reduced price coupons to purchase nicotine delivery products such as e-cigarettes. The proposed regulation changes will also prohibit the use of e-cigarettes in public places where smoking is already prohibited under the Massachusetts Smokefree Workplace law.

Fifty years after the release of the first Surgeon General's report on smoking and health, remarkable progress has been made. Since 1964, smoking prevalence among U.S. adults has been reduced by half. Unfortunately, tobacco use remains the leading preventable cause of disease, disability, and death in the United States. In January 2014, the Surgeon General will release the 50th anniversary Surgeon General's Report on smoking and health. The report will highlight 50 years of progress in tobacco control and prevention, present new data on the health consequences of tobacco use, and detail initiatives that can end the tobacco use epidemic in the United States.
1964 landmark report was the first to definitively link smoking with lung cancer and heart disease.
In the 50 years since the release of the report, 30 additional Surgeon General's Reports have added to our knowledge and understanding of the devastating health and financial burdens caused by tobacco use.

Top Cops
KC's Chiefs of Police
Tuesday, March 26, 2013
6:30pm @ Central Library
Running a big-city police force requires the instincts of a beat cop, the administrative talent of a CEO, and the public relations skills of a seasoned politician.
Four former chiefs of the Kansas City Police Department – Joseph D. McNamara, James D. Corwin, Floyd Bartch, and Richard D. Easley – and current chief Darryl Forte talk about the force, its history, and the very demanding job they all shared.
This Missouri Valley Special Collections program complements the original exhibit Kansas City's Finest, currently on display at the Central Library.

We invite all of our guests to complete a Comment Sheet regarding their stay at the Rainbow Motel. The opinions of our clientele are very important to us since they not only gauge our personal service to them but also may draw our attention to a particular detail of an individual room that might require attention, as well as suggest ways in which we may expand or improve the amenities we offer in order to make their stay with us even more enjoyable.
Many people now travel with their own food and beverages for reasons of convenience, health, or simply to economize, and so we proceeded to equip all units with mini-fridges and microwave ovens.
More and more people are travelling with their laptop computers, either for business or just to keep in touch with relatives, and we received inquiries about internet service; as a result we now offer free high speed wireless internet to our guests.
When we began receiving comments about the lack of coffee makers in the rooms, we promptly installed coffee makers in all of our units, along with complimentary coffee, tea, and hot chocolate.
One of our guests from Quebec lamented that there was only one French channel on the TV, which is pretty much standard for this region, and so we changed our TV offerings from 40 channels to over 200 channels, including almost 40 French stations.
As you can see, the comments from our guests help guide us to provide you with a comfortable and enjoyable rest on your journey through Nova Scotia. If your journey happens to take you to Truro, we hope that you will choose the Rainbow Motel for your overnight stay and allow us to serve you with down-east hospitality.
In the meantime, please browse some of the comment sheets below, and hopefully we will have the pleasure of reading one from you in the future.

Trooper's name withheld as shooting probe continues
The investigation continues into the July 12 shooting of a Worcester man by a Holden-based state trooper near downtown Worcester.
"We want to do it quickly,'' said Paul Jarvey, spokesman for Worcester County District Attorney Joseph D. Early. "But we also need to do a complete and thorough investigation.''
Victor Davila, 43, was shot once in the chest through the windshield as he drove a stolen car toward the state trooper, Early's office said. The incident happened shortly after midnight near Chandler and Irving streets. The car was reported stolen by a Leicester man, according to Early's office.
Davila was transported to the University of Massachusetts Hospital, where he was pronounced dead. The medical examiner's officer is investigating.
A female passenger jumped from the car and fled on foot. She has not been located, Early's office reports.
The incident began when the trooper attempted to pull over the 1997 gray Honda Accord.
The trooper was outside his cruiser when Davila drove the car toward the trooper, according to Early's office.
The name of the trooper is being withheld until the investigation, which is being conducted by the Worcester County District Attorney's Office and the Worcester Police Department, is completed.

Like all Tupac's other songs, "Dear Mama" is set in the streets of New York, Baltimore, and Marin City, a life in the shadow of wealth and privilege with no visible way out. Tupac grew up on the streets of New York, and as a young teen his mother moved him to Baltimore. "Baltimore has the highest rate of teenage pregnancy, the highest rate of AIDS within the black community, the highest rate of teens killin teens, the highest rate of teenage suicide, the highest rate of blacks killing blacks. So as soon as I got there, being the person that I am, I said no, no, this has got to change." He started an AIDS prevention campaign and attended a school for the arts, where he started acting and rapping. But before he had a chance to finish his studies, the family moved again, this time to Marin City, California. The move was ostensibly an attempt to escape the violence and horror of Baltimore's streets.
By the time he and his mother made that final move, Tupac was living on his own, crashing with family friends and then in an abandoned building with other street kids. He dropped out of high school at 17, and, through a series of breaks, got a record deal and an possible way out.
But, as his songs indicated, Tupac never left the street life. His friends (or fellow "outlaws," another term Pac tried to elevate and reclaim) were still pimps, dealers, and actual gangsters. "Dear Mama," though it is wracked with hurt over the lifestyle he came up in, celebrates the contradictions of staying "in the life": "And even as a crack fiend, Mama / You always was a black queen, Mama."
With his newfound success, Tupac had cars, hotel rooms, record deals and a nice house. But according to his friends, he filled his first house in Oakland with street kids and people in the community who were in need. He never thought about using his fame to "get away." This may have ultimately been what killed him, but it's also part of what made him a martyr when he died: he was the success story who kept his heart in the ghetto.
