I work on a number of different topics including gravitational waves, black holes, early universe cosmology, non-commutative geometry (and its application to standard-model and beyond-the-standard-model physics), and exotic crystals (including choreographic crystals and quasi-crystals).
For centuries, astronomers have been exploring the universe with telescopes that detect electromagnetic waves (disturbances in the electromagnetic field that move at the speed of light). Much more recently, physicists have been developing new types of telescopes to detect *gravitational* waves (disturbances in the gravitational field that also move at the speed of light). Gravitational wave astronomy is lagging behind electromagnetic astronomy by several centuries because gravitational waves are so hard to detect! On the bright side, this means that the age of great discovery in gravitational wave astronomy is still ahead of us: in fact, there are reasons to expect that it will begin with the first direct detection of gravitational waves later in this decade. Gravitational waves will open a new window on the cosmos -- a window that looks out on strange and unfamiliar scenery (violent processes in the very early universe, black holes swallowing neutron stars, and other phenomena that we probably won't even imagine until they surprise us by turning up in our detectors). One topic I have been interested in has to do with understanding how gravitational waves may be used to learn about the universe (especially the very early universe), and thinking about the best designs for future gravitational wave telescopes.

Are you sitting down? Do you have a pen and paper handy? Looks like the $15,000 tax credit to buy a new home [3] has been scrapped, saving $35 billion from the stimulus package, and replaced with an extension to the $7,500 and an increase of that credit to $8,000. The $7,500 first time homebuyer tax credit [4] was set to expire July 1st, this $8,000 provision would extend that. CNNMoney is reporting that the credit is available for those who buy a home between Jan. 1, 2009 and Dec. 1, 2009 (source [5]).
The cost of the extension and modest increase is pegged at around $2-3 billion. Another key provision? The repayment requirement will be nixed. That means the $7,500 15-year loan at 0% interest will now become $8,000 cash money in your pocket. I believe existing borrowers would have that loan forgiven.
Home buyers who hoped for a $15,000 tax credit to buy a new home, as promised by the Senate, will be disappointed. A proposed $35 billion credit to support home sales was jettisoned in favor of a more modest $2 billion to $3 billion provision.
The proposal would eliminate the repayment requirement in an existing tax credit for first-time home buyers, and raise the credit to $8,000 from $7,500. Congressional aides cautioned Wednesday that the credit's size was still subject to negotiation.

Google Nexus 10 ReviewGoogle Nexus 10 9
Oh Nexus, it's one of those familiar brand names in the industry that seemingly conjures up cutting edge devices meant to showcase the very best of the best in the Android sphere. This past summer alone, we were introduced to one game changing tablet in the Google Nexus 7 that redefined what it meant to be a budget friendly device. Stepping its games even further, Google is expanding its presence into the fuller tablet segment, which means that the competition will really need to take notice.
Apple surely surprised many people by introducing two new iPads just in time for the busy holiday season, one being a slightly upgraded fourth-generation 9.7-inch model, but it's Google who seems to be getting the last word. In addition to announcing the fourth incarnation of the Nexus branded smartphone, Google also went forward to unveil its brand spanking new 10-inch Nexus tablet – the aptly named Google Nexus 10. With Samsung commissioned to manufacture this newest Nexus, combined with some unbelievable hardware specs for a $400 tablet, it's going to be one all-out battle this crucial holiday season.
The package contains:
- microUSB cable
- Wall charger
- Quick Start Guide
- Warranty Guide
Constrained to fit within a budget, the Google Nexus 10's design mirrors what we see out of the Nexus 7 already – meaning, it has a very modest appearance. Sure, it's made by Samsung, but interestingly enough, it doesn't look or feel like a Samsung-made tablet. Call it a sigh of relief, but we're digging the direction of this tablet's design, though, we wouldn't necessarily say it's the most attractive or sturdiest thing we've come across. Yes, it's something that requires two-handed operation most of the time, especially considering it's a handful using with one hand, since the uniform almost 1-inch bezel around the screen makes the tablet look bigger than it should.
However, we like how it maintains one clean appearance, thanks primarily to its gunmetal colored soft touch casing, which exhibits that distinctive rubbery feel in the hand. We're glad to know it's extremely svelte (0.35" thin) and lightweight (21.27 oz) – similar to some of its main rivals.
There are no capacitive buttons on this bad boy, of course. Instead, the only items we see on the front panel of the Nexus 10 are the pulsating LED notification light beneath its screen, and the front-facing 1.3-megapixel camera above its display, which can shoot video in 720p.
top edge of the tablet, its dedicated power button and volume control are positioned next to one another. Thankfully, they're raised and exhibit springy responses, but when holding in portrait, we have to remember to move the placement of our hand to the middle area of the tablet to ensure there are no accidental presses.
Along the left trim, we spot its 3.5mm headset jack and microUSB port for charging/data connectivity – while on the right, the only item there is the microHDMI port. Unlike the Nexus 4, which relies on a relatively unknown Slimport socket for video-out, we're ecstatic to know that Samsung and Google opted to employ a traditional microHDMI port for easier video-out functionality with the Nexus 10. Somewhat of an unfamiliar sighting from everything else, the tablet's proprietary docking pins are located on the tablet's bottom side, which are meant to accommodate whatever future accessories they'll come out with.

Getting the last laugh before we call it quits for the year, the Nexus 10 shoves everything else we've seen in the past aside, as it gloriously features one sharp looking 10.05-inch True RGB Real Stripe PLS display. For those wondering, its resolution is actually better than 1080p – it's at a mind blowing 2560 x 1600 resolution to be specific, which conjures up an amazing pixel density of 300 ppi! No doubt our eyes are livid about looking at this immaculate looking display, since it flaunts details like no other tablet before it. Everything seemingly pops with superior clarity and sharpness that's unmatched at this point!

Nexus 10 32GB is back in stock at Play store!!
head there now if interested!!

Great device, but despite all of Android's recent advances (and that excellent screen), the only tablet (IMHO!) worth having now if spending more than $250 is one running Windows (and if wanting Android, there's always BlueStacks). More raw capability, and it works better as a desktop replacement and portable digital-life device. For web browsing or having a larger screen to fiddle with, sure a $200-range tablet is just fine, but with full Windows 8 devices (some with touchscreens) being within $200 of the Nexus 10, I couldn't really justify the pricing.
I would hope that folks stop buying ipads and buy this though, if they don't want a desktop replacement. This is much more than an ipod with a large screen, and has some great capabilities on its own. Just not for me (and others who are dissatisfied with devices that do little more than what their phones already can)

I'm probably going abided galaxy Nexus 10 (2) Because my parents are already going to get me the HTC droid DNA and the Kindle fire HD
And hopefully the Kindle fire HD (2) won't come out during that time!

Desktop replacement in what ways? Microsoft Office? That's the only thing I know of that the Surface tablet offers. Everything else that it offers is the same as every other tablet besides the ability to switch to old Windows mode (which I have heard is pretty useless because the buttons are not optimized for a tablet).
The real desktop replacements are the more expensive Pro tablets that are coming out next year which cost around $1000.
56. jove39 (Posts: 1859; Member since: 18 Oct 2011)
MS-Office is not only application people use on desktop...Damn...its been months I have used it...I would like to see development suite apps like eclipse, tomcat and jdk for android tab...to be real productive :)
69. Grajales7 (Posts: 2; Member since: 22 Nov 2012)
Do you realize that, tablets that are "desktop-replacements" as you call them, are priced starting at US $500? There is virtually no tablet, besides this nexus 10, that offers this capability at a $250 price. And, tablets that are around US $500, are the basic Wi-Fi only with 16 GB of storage, which really limit their "desktop-replacement" appeal. Next year, when those "desktop-replacement" tablets with windows 8 start becoming widespread at $800 and higher, you will understand that what you are saying, doesn't make too much sense. And besides, that "raw capability" that you talk about, will be roughly the same that those of android and iOS counterparts, as windows 8 RT will also run on ARM processors.

No 3G/4G connection is not a con in many people's opinion.
4. Aeires (unregistered)
Agreed, all my tablets are wifi because I can't see paying for another data plan on a device I'm likely to use only at home or work.
19. CellularNinja (Posts: 306; Member since: 27 Sep 2011)
I agree, tablets are primarily a home and school thing for me.
Plus, with a rooted android you can always share connection with Wifi Hotspot for free.
6. MichaelHeller (Posts: 2703; Member since: 26 May 2011)
It's not the lack of 3g/4g that is a con but the lack of that option. Not many people may want it, but it is still an option that some would like to see. We dinged the Nexus 7 for the same thing when it was released, so this is also about consistency.
12. Wiki_jaan (Posts: 704; Member since: 24 Jun 2012)
may b they launch cellular version too just like ASUS did
50. moronman66 (Posts: 162; Member since: 09 Jan 2012)

but it's not an option............ that's what he is saying.
20. theoak (Posts: 324; Member since: 16 Nov 2011)
I have a tablet with cellular. Once you have it, you will ask yourself why you did not get it sooner.
With more and more folks moving (by choice or otherwise) shared data plans, adding a tablet is not as big a deal as it used to be.
43. nnaatthhaannx2 (Posts: 820; Member since: 19 Oct 2011)
my tablet never leaves my house.... so it wouldn't be of much use.

It seems score of 9 is the most uncontroversial score for PA, everyone is happy that way.
5. darac (Posts: 2156; Member since: 17 Oct 2011)
Even putting aside the unbelievably fair pricing, you get the best tablet out there, PERIOD.
23. -box- (Posts: 3991; Member since: 04 Jan 2012)
Best mobile-OS-based tablet, yes. But best overall? Debateable.
24. wassup (Posts: 565; Member since: 23 Jun 2011)
W8 is a fail, even the RT version which is more fail. I'll stick with W7 and Android thank you very much. Have you read the reviews of the W8 tablets? they fail compared to recent Android tablets and the iPad
29. chaoticrazor (Posts: 2347; Member since: 28 Aug 2012)
sure they do mate, and we all know reviews are concrete right...except when its bad against android then it becomes biased and lies
your a fail mate and your comments the evidence, sick of you android fanboys praising everything android and never missing a chance to slate competition
30. wassup (Posts: 565; Member since: 23 Jun 2011)
Sick of you bingheads saying, try WP8 out! it's so much worse, but we want you to like it anyway.
so you're telling me 100s of sources on the web (not counting binghead websites), that say that W8 isn't good enough, are biased? sorry but i believe their word over yours.
32. chaoticrazor (Posts: 2347; Member since: 28 Aug 2012)
binghead sites...wow your stupid
you give me 100 sources please . i will wait here
your just a sad little hater fanboy. and its not worse your just saying this as your a defensive muppet who dont like competition
33. wassup (Posts: 565; Member since: 23 Jun 2011)
ever heard of hyperbole?
yeah binghead sites, you know, sites full of bingheads like yourself?
Oh i love competetion, and i love it even more when the thing i'm supporting wins, so I'm Happy that the windows tabs exist, just one more fail from microsoft
34. chaoticrazor (Posts: 2347; Member since: 28 Aug 2012)
lol wins, you know winning would mean the end of competition so nothing has won, and you supporting it and cheering like its a sport is sad. this is tech we should be discussing and staying open to new things not like you, been a fanboy and only supporting what you use and attacking all others sad little man
but you will carry on been immature and pathetic. lets hope your not like this in real life because that would be terrible for those around you
35. wassup (Posts: 565; Member since: 23 Jun 2011)
aww shurrup
yaaay i win! you got mad
Troll succeeded :D :D
37. chaoticrazor (Posts: 2347; Member since: 28 Aug 2012)
not mad sad sack, trolls like you just make the world a sad place, not get people mad
and you won nothing, but if your life is that emtpy you have to think of been a troll as a win well thats tragic
thanks for proving your immature though
38. SleepingOz (unregistered)
talking about "getting all defensive".. lol
39. chaoticrazor (Posts: 2347; Member since: 28 Aug 2012)
lol love how you support the trolls ect when its pro android or against any other os
see you all whine about phonearena been biased yet the comment section is biased towards android never hear you say a word on that
android fans = ifans both as bad as the other, dont class yourselves as tech lovers just fanboys
40. SleepingOz (unregistered)
I'm not supporting anyone dude, quit being biased. I'm just pointing your hypocrisy. Aren't you the one who said that Android fan get all defensive when you criticise Android? Yet you're on every articles trying hard to defend Nokia and WP.
I have never ever call PA biased even if they said that the iPhone is better that some Android flagships out there.
Haha yup, that's what you are, since you never missed an opportunity to trashtalk and bash Android users. You're not just a simple fanboy but a frustrated one. Think about it. =]
41. chaoticrazor (Posts: 2347; Member since: 28 Aug 2012)
haha no mate im not defending nokia as nokia is hardly brought up. im sick of the android lot swarming every article not related to android and been all fanboys slating it and praising android
you wont agree as you yourself dont mind unless its against android. android users are worse now then apple users.
ohh so now im back to been an android hater...so when i use my android tablet i must be so annoyed right.....seriously you prove my point if i say anythin against android im a hater straight away. thanks to you lot phonearena has become fanboy central
i dont have to think about it, it makes no sense. besides your clearly an android fanboy yourself so its pot calling kettle black
54. dmakun (Posts: 320; Member since: 06 Jun 2011)
@chaioticrazor, OK I hear you & I agree with you on some points you make about certain people who are clearly fanboys of one or another os/platform always rooting for their favorite & criticizing other platforms. But why does this upset (or make you sad)? It's quite normal that this occurs & it's like that on many tech sites I've checked out. I see you're pro wp even though as you say, you own a android device which makes you @least appear to me as pro wp or so fan so it doesn't really matter. I for one have not seen the attractive feature of wp phones or tablets & Microsoft really ought to focus their marketing on what makes their devices distinctive to be able to steal market share from the competition instead of the simple adverts that don't tell anyone why they should put away their android or ios devices (or even the blackberries).
The impression I have of wp is that it's a platform catching up rather than a major improvement to existing platforms & I have read quite a bit of reviews & briefly used a w7 device of a pal last year. I think the wireless charging feature is nothing "unique" but I do like the touch screen useability feature, other than that it leaves little to be desired.
61. chaoticrazor (Posts: 2347; Member since: 28 Aug 2012)
i dont see how im a wp fan if i dont own a wp8 phone. so basically im branded one as i defend it from those said fanboys who talk utter crap. ive also defended android and bb. guess im fanboys of those too. if thats how it works on here.
diffenace is the arrogance of the android lot nowadays has hit new hieghts. you say windows is playing catch up but what fuctionality are they missing that only android can offer? or what are they lacking? for me it seems there lacking nothing needed and have gone a differant route to android. funny this courses android users to shout how they need to go more android like but these same users slate ios for doing exactly that.
as for unique, well whats unique about any android device, only the note 2 has a selling point others dont at the moment and even that isnt of much use for average users. take the 920 as an example its camera is unique so theres one point again want be for everyone. the sensitive screen is another one too
and yes i expect a rain of red thumbs again as the fanboys get upset ive not praised android. and it is sad as every tech site has been infected with fanboys you cant discuss anything reasonably
66. CellularNinja (Posts: 306; Member since: 27 Sep 2011)
... so please stop complaining like a little child on every single article! You're acting like the whole world is against you, and yes, you are getting VERY DEFENSIVE, so don't try to make it sound like you're not.
The nature of the comments section is of such that people will leave comments (got it???), so sometimes you aren't gonna those comments, get over it.
67. chaoticrazor (Posts: 2347; Member since: 28 Aug 2012)
no its not against me, ive never said its against me, i said its always the same, android fans on there high horse slating every other os. why? whats the need for it
and ok if you believe its ok to leave such comments i may join in, every android article talk about its negative points see how long it is before you all bitch
ohh and no this isnt a tech site, it used to be but thanks to fanboys its just a tragic wannabe war.,
but sure you ee it as im whinning, but when they turn on android and your defending it as you all do i'll be sure to mention how your moaning and its there right to comment any crap they like.
this is done now, been replying on this article too long to care lol so enjoy
70. dmakun (Posts: 320; Member since: 06 Jun 2011)
It doesn't matter your preferred platform IMO, I'll pay attention to your comment if you "know" the platform you "like". There are few people's comments/opinions I even bother to read whenever i visit this site (one individual that comes to mind is Remixfa) He/She is clearly pro android and he knows android which is the OS I use so you get why.
As i said before, WP appears to be catching up with android (and i don't mean in features alone but clearly in market share). You appear to like WP (from all your earlier comments). I'm not big on megapixels and picture quality arguments cos I think my galaxy note 1 takes (IMO) amazing quality photos. I like android a lot because of how it allows me personalize my device and I don't mean wallpapers or live wallpapers alone (I'm big on customization because I like to perform actions on my devices quickly and i easily get bored of how my device looks or work and thus i constantly change and move things around to make my user experience differ whenever there's the urge to do so). I read somewhere that WP doesn't have a notification center, whereas it as 're-sizable' live tiles it doesn't offer users a deep level of functionality like android widgets (e.g. music player widget etc.) instead its a kind of notification icon you have to look for on your device's screen (pls correct me if I'm wrong on this one).
Anyway, Microsoft has a lot to do to pull users away and they better get going cos android appears to be growing despite the competition.
65. CellularNinja (Posts: 306; Member since: 27 Sep 2011)
If you're so sick of it then don't read the comments. This site consists of people that are into smartphones and technology. Most people that are into smartphones and technology are android fans. It just works like that.

I really like this tablet, the only thing i need but don't have is the ability to play 10 bit MKV Soft Sub HD Videos
can the nexus 10 play 10bit soft sub HD videos without problems ? I have problems with my galaxy note .. I am going to but Windows 8 Tablet or Laptop but if this can play 10bit videos I am gonna buy it !
11. _Bone_ (Posts: 2154; Member since: 29 Oct 2012)
My desktop computer can hardly play 10bit fullHD samples, so you're gonna have problems with that, however this video shows that the N10 handles 1440p mp4 quite well, even before MX and BS come out with their N10 optimized update.
17. Nathan_ingx (Posts: 3787; Member since: 07 Mar 2012)
What to you call 1440p resolutions and above?? Over HD?...lol
But seriously. i would like to know!

No 4G/3G verison
Some software bugs with Android 4.2
Choppy performance every now and then
and Still 9/10 thats s**t !
16. Retro-touch (Posts: 273; Member since: 24 Oct 2011)
the last two cons will be fixed with a software update, seems Google released 4.2 half cooked and don't know what made them think chrome was a good enough to make it the default but its still a solid device and will be well into the future
10. _Bone_ (Posts: 2154; Member since: 29 Oct 2012)
Just wanna throw out that the Nexus 10 perform the fastest browser experience in any mobile device according to SunSpider, if you use the right browser, which is NOT the choppy Chrome which is the only thing holding back this beast.
Boat Broswer scores a stunning 774ms, and everything is buttery smooth no matter of how many tabs you have opened, again something where Chrome comes very short. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v
This is a superb tablet, the awesome screen, 4.2 features and HW performance make up for the lack of SD slot, low number of tablications and rather long charge.
21. darac (Posts: 2156; Member since: 17 Oct 2011)
Spot on!
Chrome is crap compared to Boat which was my preferred browser.. until the last Dolphin update.
With the JetPack turned on, it is so smooth on Galaxy s3 jelly bean it feels almost addictive!!
It actually puts iPhone 5 safari experience to shame really..something you wouldn't even think of being possible, but now after this safari suddenly feels sluggish under my fingertip
63. lzsbleach (Posts: 155; Member since: 20 May 2012)
Thanks for letting me know about the Boat browser, it is truly fast and smooth and is the best browser I have used on a smart phone.

I really like the Nexus 10 for a few reasons. First, it's got a really solid price point for a fairly strong offering. If I were to compare it to the iPad 4, you might get slightly less battery, but you'd get more RAM, a faster processor, and a sharper screen. It's slightly more compact in terms of dimensions too. I do like iOS but Android's pretty good too.

"As expected, it loads up complex pages in a good amount of time – while its smooth navigational controls and proper rendering help to make the experience fittingly pleasant."
I agree with the loading the pages quickly but on the video reviews I had seen, there were considerable lag while scrolling and pinch zooming!

OK PA how about a show down between the nexus 10 the iPad 4 and say the Asus tf700t
I'm torn between one of the three and would really love to see a true unbiased showdown with benchmarks and real world tests between those three.

Everyone thought exynos and Mali were going to be the most powerful.
A15 and new mali gpu and nothing special.
Yeah higher resolution but still....
Nice tablet but Samsung is getting weak
58. darac (Posts: 2156; Member since: 17 Oct 2011)
They are, actually.
Detailed analysis of chromebook chip confirms that A15 is the most powerful low power core.
In Nexus, it's held back by that humongous resolution.. but comparatively, it still manages to beat Krait and swift easily

The standard if/else statement might look like this:
- Code: Select all
if eggs:
mystring = "Spam and eggs."
mystring = "Spam and spam."
In these cases one can use what is called a ternary or conditional expression (py2.5 and later according to documentation).
With this statement the previous code becomes:
- Code: Select all
mystring = "Spam and eggs." if eggs else "Spam and spam."
Now I personally love this syntax, but it should obviously be used with some discretion. It is very easy to make an extremely long incomprehensible statement using this syntax. Apparently some Python programmers seem to think it should be avoided, but I tend to disagree. That said, I often default to it when there is a better alternative and have to catch myself. Essentially, be certain that it is actually making things easier when you use it; not more convoluted.
Now if you are comfortable with the syntax of such expressions, it is natural to ask if you can use it with the augmented assignment operators. The answer here is yes, but again, it is quite easy to make something that isn't particularly readable when doing so.
Here is an example:
- Code: Select all
a += 1 if b%2 else 2
It is telling us to increment the value of a by 1 if b is odd. If b is even, increment the value of a by 2. Is this the clearest way to write this statement? I don't know. If you are unsure if it is clear, don't use it. If you do decide to use the ternary expression with augmented assignment operators just be aware that the final value after the else will be evaluated using the same augmented assignment operator.
So our previous statement is equivalent to:
- Code: Select all
if b%2:
Notice also that our operator is only typed at the beginning of the ternary expression. If you write:
- Code: Select all
a+=1 if b%2 else a+=2
- Code: Select all
a += (1 if b%2 else 2)
For more information on the subject here is the original PEP in which it was added: PEP 308
And for more on the ternary operator/expression in general see the wiki page: Ternary Operators ?:
If anyone has any additional thing to add on this subject, or foreboding warnings to programmers not to use it, please voice them. Also if you have any additional examples that you might feel are more illustrative of its uses please share them.
(Edit: Slight edit for clarity; spaces added in the augmented assignment ternary example.)

The fight to stop construction on the new Sullivan's Island Elementary School building again took center stage at the Charleston County School Board meeting, and the board reaffirmed its commitment to the project.
The board signed off Monday night on a $19 million contract with Thompson Turner to build the 500-student school, which some say is too big for this small island community. Board member Elizabeth Moffly was the lone vote against the majority as she unsuccessfully attempted to get the board to redirect that money toward a new elementary school to serve the growing student population in the northern end of Mount Pleasant.
"In my family, when you make a bad decision, you realize it and change it," she said. "We are in a position to correct a bad decision."
She asked the board to delay Sullivan's Island Elementary because a higher priority should be providing relief to the overcrowded schools in Mount Pleasant. The fact that the district already has invested $3 million into the $26.5 million Sullivan's Island project shouldn't be the reason to continue with it, she said. Workers have been on the site for more than a year demolishing the former building and creating a foundation for the new one.
The growing northern end of Mount Pleasant isn't slated to see a new elementary school until the one in the Carolina Park community opens in 2018, and Moffly said that's not soon enough.
Some board members agreed with her, but said the money from Sullivan's Island Elementary wouldn't have been enough to cover that new school's cost. And it would be 2016 before the new Carolina Park school could be built; the new Sullivan's Island Elementary should open in fall 2014.
"It's troubling to me that we find ourselves in this situation," said board member Tom Ducker. "It is troubling because the board should've proceeded to build a school in north Mount Pleasant, but we are where we are so that's what we're going to deal with tonight."
Some of the public speakers at Monday night's meeting, such as Mount Pleasant resident Craig Goldberg, asked why the board was building the new Sullivan's Island instead of a where "appears to be the area of greatest need," he said.
Later in the meeting, school board members tried to explain the previous board's logic in 2006. At that time, the board considered building the Carolina Park elementary school but it wasn't a top priority, board member John Barter said.
The district had a limited amount of money for new construction, and Sullivan's Island Elementary was supposed to be a renovation rather than a complete rebuild, he said. The district later found the building had structural problems.
In addition, the 1,700-acre Carolina Park development that will serve hundreds of residents was in "financial distress," he said. If those same decisions were being made today, the board might have reached a different conclusion, he said.
District staff are trying to find ways to add seats for Mount Pleasant students, such as: establishing a new partnership with East Cooper Montessori Charter so it can use the former Laing Middle School building; creating a new, 500-student magnet school in the former Whitesides Elementary School building; and increasing the capacity for the new Laing Middle and Jennie Moore Elementary School buildings by 300 students each.
Still, the overcrowded schools have made rezoning a necessity, and that is slated to happen in the fall 2015. Officials plan to release later this week maps showing the new proposed attendance boundaries for elementary and middle schools.
"We definitely need more seats," said board Vice Chairman Craig Ascue, adding the board needed to consider additional space for middle and high school students.
The Sullivan's Island Elementary agenda item brought out its mayor and a few members of Town Council, who said they reaffirmed last week their support for the new school for the fourth time. It also drew opponents who said the town doesn't have the infrastructure to support a school of that size.
In other business, the board:
- approved hiring Toshawnka Mahone, interim principal of Northwoods Middle, to be the school's new principal;
- approved a $20.7 million contract to China Construction America of SC to build a new St. Andrews School of Math and Science in West Ashley by Dec. 2014;
- approved in a 8-1 vote a revised 2013-14 academic calendar;
- agreed unanimously to delay voting until Aug. 12 on the proposed Carolina Voyager Charter School.

There are a lot of bonuses to living in a small town in Mississippi, which I (mostly) lovingly, refer to as 1937.
Our mail gets delivered directly to our door.
Everything in town is less than five minutes away from home. There is never any traffic.
And if, hypothetically, your husband were to forget to pick your kids up from school one afternoon, while you were sleeping with your phone turned off, because you were running a fever and knew that you didn't have to pick up your kids — because your husband was going to get them — if, that were to happen in good ole 1937?
Well, it just might happen that every teacher at school knows where you live and if they didn't stick your kids in the car with one of your best friends to bring them home, they might just toss them in their own car and bring your kids home themselves.
Many of the things that seemed like they might be a big transition when we moved to Mississippi turned out to be blessings.
I thought I would miss shopping and going to Starbucks and a movie theater.
And while I do miss them, it helps me to appreciate these things more when I go to bigger cities, i.e., "civilization."
And I enjoy supporting local businesses instead of living in a cookie-cutter town where one strip mall looks like the next.
It's cute here, y'all.
Last week, my mother, Shuggie, and I loaded up all three girls and headed for Jackson, Miss.
I had a work meeting to attend, but we had big plans for the rest of the day: A Target trip for new shoes for my oldest, Aubrey, new Play-Doh toys for the youngest, Sadie, and a new scarf for Emma, my middle child and budding fashionista.
The girls ate lunch at Chick-fil-A and made new friends on the indoor playground. Chick-fil-A chicken nuggets are a delicacy among Delta children — every bite was savored.
We headed to the movie theater after lunch and I have to say, the excitement on my kids' faces anytime they get to go to a movie, is almost enough to make me glad that they don't get to go very often — it's an adventure, a novelty — a huge treat.
Their little faces light up as soon as we open the doors and walk into the lobby.
We got our popcorn and made our way into the darkened theater.
As the lights on the screen flickered on the girls sunkissed faces, I couldn't help but grin from ear to ear.
They shreiked with laughter at the movie and elbowed each other during the really funny parts.
Watching them watch the movie was worth every dollar I spent.
I heard Aubrey whisper to Emma, "Eat the popcorn and the M&Ms at the same time! It's so good."
Salty and sweet — that's what it's all about, right?

Investigators specializing in brain and eye diseases warn in a new survey that many of their peers will leave the field, leaving future treatments undiscovered, unless research spending for the disorders rises significantly—a plea that comes as Washington is still wrestling with what if any cuts it will exact from NIH as part of a budget deal.
BrightFocus Foundation, the nonprofit that changed its name February 1 from American Health Assistance Foundation, shared the frustration of more than 170 biomedical scientists in survey results published this week. "Brain and Eye Disease Researcher Survey" reported near unanimity from the scientists on the survey's key findings:
"The funding issue is really their only structural concern. When we asked questions about how journals publish information, or how leadership at the department level or the culture of academia work, those were much lower on their radar," Guy Eakin, Ph.D., vp of scientific affairs for BrightFocus Foundation, told GEN.
At issue is funding for disorders ranging from Alzheimer's disease to glaucoma and macular degeneration. For Alzheimer's, a one-time $50 million boost ordered by President Obama brought FY 2012 spending to an estimated $498 million—a figure expected to slide this fiscal year to $449 million, just $1 million above the actual FY 2011 amount. Over five years, Alzheimer's spending increased a total 20.9% with the one-shot included, but just 8.7% without.
Last year, HHS unveiled its National Plan to Address Alzheimer's Disease, a 69-page report committing Washington to "Prevent and Effectively Treat Alzheimer's Disease by 2025," according to one of five principles or "building blocks." The plan is "extraordinarily valuable," Dr. Eakin said, adding: "What is lacking right now is the financial side." HHS' Advisory Council on Alzheimer's Research and Services sought to address that on January 14, by recommending at least $2 billion a year for Alzheimer's research—a sum Dr. Eakin said BrightFocus supports.
That would catapult Alzheimer's above the over $1 billion in research funds spent by NIH on diabetes, but still below the roughly $3 billion spent for research on HIV/AIDS, and nearly $5.5 billion spent on cancer.
The best-funded diseases vary in population prevalence: About 26 million Americans have diabetes, according to CDC, and another 13.7 million have cancer, NIH's National Cancer Institute estimates.
However, just 1.15 million living Americans had HIV/AIDS as of 2009, the most recent figure from CDC. The brain and eye diseases highlighted by BrightFund affect some 20 million Americans—including the more than 5 million with Alzheimer's alone, according to the Alzheimer's Association.
"While you're not going to find scientists who say the funding is good for any of the disease fields, we would point out that given the prevalence of mind and eye diseases, given the aging demographics of our society, and in the case of Alzheimer's, given the immediate unmet need, there is a profound effect of not having suitable research funds for these diseases," Dr. Eakin added.
Spending on the broader "brain disorders" category is projected to inch up this federal fiscal year to $3.87 billion, down $3 million from the fiscal year that ended September 30, but up just 0.2% from $3.864 billion in FY 2011. Over five years NIH spending rose less than 4% from the $3.729 billion of FY 2008.
Eye disorders, however, command a tiny slice of NIH's overall spending pie. For FY 2012, NIH estimates that $832 million was spent for research on "eye disease and disorders of vision," all but flat from FY 2011's actual $831 million, and 1% above the $823 million projected for the current fiscal year. Going back five federal fiscal years, spending in the category rose just 4.5% from the $796 million of FY 2008.
Raising spending for any research, let alone brain and eye disorders, will be far easier said than done, since Congress and President Obama at deadline remain unable to craft an agreement for cutting the $1.2 trillion over 10 years promised under the 2011 Budget Control Act, and the March 1 deadline looming two weeks away.

Meet NRA News Commentator Dom Raso. A U.S. Navy SEAL veteran, Raso says there are not many things that can compare to serving your country and defending your freedom. That freedom applies to firearms, too. "As long as humans exist, there will be weapons in this world.

Volkswagen (VW) is no stranger to fuel efficiency in the
United States. While the company may currently known for its 200HP GTI pocket
rocket and Eos
retractable hardtop-chick
mobile, the company also has deep roots in diesel motors.
The company is famous for its TDI engines which in recent
years have been available in a number of vehicles including the New Beetle,
Jetta, Passat and Touareg. TDI engines are currently on hiatus in the United
States due to more stringent emissions requirements, but VW will bring to
market a new Tier 2
Bin 5 TDI engine for the Jetta next year (and likely also for the Passat,
New Beetle and Rabbit).
If VW has its way, consumers may have an alternative method for
achieving high fuel economy with its vehicles.
VW is looking to introduce two variants of its recently
introduced Up! rear-engined concept car. The tiny Up! measures just 135.8
inches from nose to tail and is only 64.2 inches wide.
The first variant of the Up! would be a small minivan aimed
at families who clearly don't need all of the space afforded in today's
super-sized minivans from Chrysler, Honda and Toyota. The second variant on tap is a
plug-in hybrid model.
The plug-in variant would ditch the concept Up!'s hatchback
profile for a more traditional sedan configuration (which is more in tune with
American buying tastes). According to Auto
News and Autoblog, the plug-in hybrid Up! would
achieve close to 100 MPG.
The Up! minivan is scheduled to be unveiled shortly in Tokyo
while the Up! plug-in hybrid will bow in Los Angeles.

Stone was born at Buckland Hospital in Dover, Kent, and spent her teenage years in Ashill, a small village in Devon. She is the third of four children born to Richard and Wendy Stoker. Her father owns a fruit and nut import/export business; her mother, who used to manage holiday cottages, worked as Stone's manager until October 2004. Stone made her first public appearance at the Uffculme Comprehensive School—which she attended—in Uffculme, Devon, with a cover of Jackie Wilson's 1957 song "Reet Petite". Because of her dyslexia, Stone left school at age sixteen with only three GCSE qualifications. "It wasn't that I was stupid. I'm just a little bit dyslexic and I wasn't very academic. I'm more artistic", she says. Stone grew up listening to a wide variety of music including 1960s and 1970s American R&B and soul music performed by such artists as Dusty Springfield and Aretha Franklin; as a result, she developed a soulful style of singing like her idols. "My first CD that I owned was Aretha Franklin: Greatest Hits. And I saw the advert on TV and it was just like little clips of her songs. I had no idea who she was—I was only like 10 so. I said, 'Oh yeah, that looks really good', so I wrote it down and I said to my mum, 'Can I have that for Christmas?' So she told my friend Dennis, who always gets me good music anyway, and he got that for me. So that was one of my first albums that I loved."She would later tell MTV News: "I kind of clicked into soul music more than anything ...

After getting signed and dropped by a major label in 1989, Groove Thangs went on to successfully record and release their music independently, winning awards and gaining sponsorship while proving it on stage every night. Coming off the road in '92, Groove Thangs still perform annually (even touring Indonesia in 1994) and will be celebrating their 25th year of making funky music together! www.myspace.com

UPDATE, 9:20 a.m. — County officials say the Platte River is receding to its normal banks this morning, but the water's still high in Evans, Kersey and parts of Milliken.
Bureau Chief Steve Reams, spokesman for the Weld County Sheriff's Office, said from an aerial view, the rivers in the county are beginning to look more like they normally do, but the areas hardest hit —Evans, Kersey, Milliken — may not see relief quickly.
"The problem is they were so far over their banks that it's going to take a substantial amount of time before we start to see any clearing," Reams said.
Officials ask that residents respect barriers on closed roads and in evacuated areas. Reams said people who disregard barriers are causing road damage, making it more difficult for emergency vehicles to respond.
"It's hard to keep people out when they're concerned about what they have left," Reams said. "The fact is levels in some areas are still so high that it's not safe."
Reams said the county today will also work to clear roads in preparation for recovery efforts.
Reams said deputies have responded to fewer than 100 calls for water rescues, but that number for other agencies throughout the county is in the hundreds.

Impact Wrestling returns in April; '50 Shades' musical in May
Before you dye your hair green for the weekend, we have a heads up on a couple new events bound for Erie.
Neither has much to do with St. Patrick's Day, but not everything revolves around the Irish. Try to remember that when you eat your potato soup and Reuben for lunch.
First up: wrestling. The superstars of TNA Impact Wrestling return on April 26 to Erie Insurance Arena as part of The Road to Slammiversary World Tour.
The Erie lineup will include Olympic gold medalist Kurt Angle, Austin Aries, Christopher Daniels, Kazarian, James "The Cowboy" Storm and knockouts division champion Velvet Sky.
A road should lead somewhere, right? This one ends in Boston on June 2 with Slammiversary, a pay-per-view event.
Tickets for Erie start at $15 and will go on sale Friday at the Warner Theatre box office, by phone at 452-4857 and online at www.erieeevents.com. Those who splurge for a $65 ticket will receive an autograph session with select wrestlers before the event at 5:30 p.m.
New musical alert! The Erie Broadway Series has added a show for May 15 -- "50 Shades! The Musical." As the title suggests, this is a sexy, over-the-top romp that parodies the "Fifty Shades of Grey" phenomenon with outrageous dance numbers and original songs, played by an onstage band.
According to an online review in the Daily Beast, the show (created by Chicago improv group Baby Wants Candy) avoids nudity and anything too explicit.
"But the appeal of the show was pure, unadulterated humor -- and it had the packed audience at Manhattan's Gramercy Theater guffawing and sputtering for an entire 90 minutes," wrote Lizzie Crocker.
Ticket prices were still being hammered out at press time, but they will go on sale March 21 at the Warner box office, by phone at 452-4857 and online at www.erieevents.com.
Tickets are also still available for the 2012-13 series final show, "Rock of Ages," on April 15.
If you don't subscribe to Showtime and missed the "History of the Eagles," not to worry. The documentary arrives on DVD on April 30.
I caught all of Part I and most of Part II and it's great stuff with a lot of revealing stories I'd never heard before. The part about band members living above Jackson Browne's apartment is hysterical. He woke them up with "Doctor My Eyes," playing it over and over, trying to get it right. Also, Joe Walsh is brutally honest about the depths of his alcohol problem and credits the Eagles' reunion tour in 1994 with motivating him to sober up. Timothy Schmidt talks about his fear of singing "Take It to the Limit" in concert.
The three-disc set will come with a bonus: "Eagles Live at the Capital Center -- March 1977," with never-before-released performances of "Hotel California," "Rocky Mountain Way," "New Kid in Town," Take it Easy" and more from the band's Washington D.C. tour stop.
Erie native Nick Adams will play the Prince in the national tour of Disney's "The Little Mermaid."
His area fans can see him in Pittsburgh; the show will roll into the Benedum Center from July 9-21. Visit www.pittsburghclo.org for more information.

It was Tori Spelling's worst nightmare come true: her husband, and father of her four children, Dean McDermott, was suddenly the center of cheating rumors.
And as reports began to surface that their relationship was on the rocks, a source close to the couple tells PEOPLE they scrambled to make a major move in hopes of saving the life they had worked hard to build together.
"What other options did they have? They'd already tried therapy, so it had to be something drastic," the source says.
That move came on Thursday when McDermott, 47, told PEOPLE in an exclusive statement that he had voluntarily checked into rehab "to address some health and personal issues."
McDermott's decision to seek treatment has given Spelling the chance she needed to begin healing.
"He's now willing to be treated. It's something that he can't control," the source says. "It gives her a chance to understand why he did this and to not take it personally."
But in this case, despite McDermott's determination to keep his family intact, time may not heal all wounds. According to the source, Spelling, 40, is facing a long journey toward forgiveness.
"Him going to rehab is like providing aid to a gushing wound," the source says. "It's going to stop the bleeding right now, but it's going to take a long time to heal and there will be scars that will never go away."
Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott Needed a 'Drastic' Move to Save Their Marriage, Source Says

Foligno was smiling but only half-joking. Despite the Sabres' youth, there were only a couple of legitimate candidates. He was the lone rookie to spend the whole season in Buffalo, so Foligno's teammates voted for him.
"I'm happy the guys chose me," he said, "and I was able to have an OK year."
No one, however, expected just "OK." The 21-year-old was counted on to be a top-line player. He ended the previous season with a flourish alongside center Tyler Ennis and right wing Drew Stafford, but the trio fizzled from the outset this season.
Foligno and Stafford spent most of the second half on the Sabres' bottom lines.
"I had an expectation for myself to carry over from the previous two years and continue to have production goal-scoring-wise," Stafford said. "It just wasn't there this year."
The duo's stats dropped significantly as the Sabres remained out of the postseason. They were point-per-game wingers during their 13-game run in 2011-12, with Foligno recording six goals and 13 points while Stafford put up seven and 17.
This season, Foligno had five goals and 18 points in 47 games, while Stafford recorded six and 18 in 46 games.
"It was tough," Foligno said. "That's the way it goes sometimes. You're not always happy. It's not like the effort was not there. It's just some things aren't working.
"I thought I had some good games, and just consistency is an area I've got to work on."
Foligno took a significant step back under coach Ron Rolston, who helped turn Foligno into a top prospect in the first place.
Foligno recorded 16 goals and 39 points in 60 games with Rolston in Rochester in 2011-12. During the lockout, the forward added another 10 goals and 27 points in 33 games for the Amerks.
With Lindy Ruff on the Sabres' bench for the first 17 games, Foligno had one goal and eight points in 16:52 of ice time per game. Foligno averaged 11:47 under Rolston, and the forward had four goals and 10 points in 30 games. He also was scratched once.
Rolston moved Foligno from left wing to center during the final weeks. Foligno won 60 percent of his faceoffs but took just two shots in the last eight games. He still led the team in Corsi rating, which compares the number of shots attempted at the opposing goaltender versus the shots taken at the player's own netminder.
"The playing time went down at the end of the year," Foligno said. "For myself, it's just to really go home and become a better player and work hard this offseason, make sure I'm going back into next season positive with lots of confidence and ready to play.
"I want to be in key situations. It's there for the taking."
Stafford also said he'll work hard, but he enters this offseason with uncertainty alongside his poor stats. He has two seasons left on a four-year, $16 million deal and may not fit into the rebuilding plans of the Sabres.
"As players, all that we can focus on and worry about is what we're doing to prepare to change within ourselves to be better," he said. "Whatever management ends up doing, we have to respect that.
"I signed a contract here, and I want to be here. I made that commitment, and that's something I do want to fulfill. I want to be successful here. I want to help this team be successful."
He missed his chance this season with scoring droughts of 14, 10 and seven games.
"Going into summer again, we have that bitter taste in our mouths," Stafford said. "It's just not a good feeling not playing in the playoffs."
