AUBURN, Alabama – Rodney Garner is coming home to Auburn as assistant head coach and defensive line coach in a coup for Gus Malzahn as he puts together his new coaching staff.
Garner is leaving Georgia after 15 years as a coach and one of college football's top recruiters.
"Welcome Home, Coach Rodney Garner," tweeted Auburn Athletics Director Jay Jacobs on Thursday night.
An updated story on the hiring is here.
Garner played at Auburn from 1984-88 and was with the coaching staff from 1993-95. He's been at Georgia the last 15 seasons, and is the Bulldogs' defensive line coach, assistant head coach and recruiting coordinator.
He's the fifth assistant coach hired by Malzhan.
Malzahn's coaching staff presently consists of Garner, offensive line coach J.B. Grimes, offensive coordinator Rhett Lashlee, defensive coordinator Ellis Johnson and secondary coach Charlie Harbison.
Malzahn is not keeping any of Gene Chizik's assistants. Additionally, Auburn is not rehiring graduate assistants Tony Gilbert, Aairon Savage and Jeff Castle. Special teams quality control coach Al Pogue will be retained, but will be given a new assignment.
The only holdovers from Chizik's staff are Pogue, Director of Player Personnel Scott Fountain, who has coordinated Auburn's recruiting for four years; and Director of Scouting Chad Lunceford.

Gone Home
What parents need to know
Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know Gone Home is less a game than an interactive story. There is no action, no combat, and not really even any traditional puzzles. Players take on the role of a young woman who explores her family's empty house after a year abroad, piecing together details of her family's activities during her time away. During her search she experiences several revelations, many to do with her sister's budding sexuality and sexual orientation. There is no nudity, but players should expect frank discussions of sex, as well as some strong language, mostly heard in background music.

What's it about?
GONE HOME puts players in the role of Katie, a 20-year-old woman returning home after a year spent traveling around Europe. But the home she returns to isn't the one she left. Her parents and sister have moved into a mansion once owned by her uncle, and it's empty. The entirety of the game's three hours is spent exploring this giant house, wherein you'll find notes and artifacts that combine to create a tapestry of the lives of Katie's family. It's clear that the parents are going through some personal issues, but it's Katie's sister Sam who eventually becomes the focus of the story. A high school senior having trouble making friends at her new school, Sam has left her personal notes and stories (she's an aspiring author). Players also get to hear Sam's voice as she confides to Katie her emotions and experiences, especially those to do with one friend in particular.
Is it any good?
Gone Home is the sort of game that validates the video game medium as one capable of expressing ideas and emotion. It's puzzles aren't literal but instead are locked within the narrative. Your objective is simply to be a careful explorer, finding and digesting every clue and bit of writing you come across to put together the many seemingly disparate pieces of this complex but believable -- and perhaps even relatable -- story.
And what a story it is. Despite never actually seeing any characters, players will come away feeling like they know the family that lives at the house on Arbor Hill. The characters are deeply authentic, especially the teenager Sam, whose beautifully written notes and stories and movingly acted voice dialogue are about as heartrending as anything you'll find in a game. Some of what players will see, read, and hear is certainly mature, but it fits perfectly -- naturally -- within the narrative context. It's not a stretch to suggest that no other game better captures the mindset and emotion of a senior high school student.
Families can talk about...
Families can talk about sexuality. If you have questions about sex, to whom do you talk about it? Do you feel comfortable discussing your own sexuality?
Families also can discuss storytelling in games. Have you ever played a game whose focus is storytelling rather than action? How did this experience make you feel? Was it as compelling as other games?

Syracuse, NY - Skaneateles car dealer Pat J. Bombard will go on trial April 18 on charges he defrauded a neighbor and some of his customers.
Efforts to work out a plea deal have been hindered by financial issues, defense lawyer Robert Durr said today as he left court with Bombard.
Bombard has been trying to sell the property on which his Chevrolet dealership is located to meet the prosecution's demand for full restitution for the victims, Durr said.
Although County Judge Anthony Aloi today set the case to be tried in April, he adjourned the case to Feb. 11 for a final report on any efforts to resolve the case with a plea.
Bombard, 54, of 39 Heritage Woods, Skaneateles, is facing single counts of second-degree grand larceny and first-degree identity theft and two counts each of third-degree grand larceny and first-degree scheme to defraud.
He's accused of stealing more than $50,000 from neighbor Irma Jerva in an alleged land-deal swindle in December 2008.
He's also accused of using Jane and John King's identities on a car loan application in October 2007 in order to obtain an $18,000 loan.
Additionally, he's accused of stealing $13,000 in June 2009 and $16,000 in July 2009 through bank-loan schemes involving customers.
Bombard could face up to 15 years in state prison for the most serious charge.
According to Durr, Bombard had lost his dealership franchise when General Motors downsized a while back. But as a plaintiff in a class-action lawsuit brought over that downsizing, Bombard won back his dealership franchise, the lawyer said.
Durr today declined comment on what Bombard is planning to do with that franchise if he is looking to sell the property on which the dealership is located. The defense lawyer noted, however, Bombard would lose the franchise if convicted of a felony.

Legs are ideal for moving smoothly and rapidly on uneven, natural terrain. However, when the ground is flat, wheels are a better choice. Using NI LabVIEW software and NI CompactRIO hardware, the Bio-Inspired Robotic Laboratory (BioRoLa) team at National Taiwan University created a robot, Quattroped, which can switch between the two.
CompactRIO was used to power the robot's computation functions. The CompactRIO system was connected to temperature, voltage and current measurement, Hall effect, infrared, and other sensors used to improve the robot's perception ability. It was also connected to actuators on the robot that include eight DC brushed motors for driving the robot, two high-torque RC servos for front leg-wheel turning, and four small RC servos and four small DC brushed motors for leg-wheel switching.
The team found the LabVIEW graphical programming interface easy for students to construct logic flow followed by coding and to understand the programs created by other developers. Moreover, the integration between LabVIEW and NI hardware significantly reduced the time and effort for developers to perform system integration. More of the project details are outlined in the IEEE Robotics Conference paper and the full case study on ni.com.

Moments When Deepika Padukone Got High
Balam Pichkari is the recent example that has Deepika Padukone in a drunken state.
In one of the film's comical sequences, our leggy lass is seen in the company of his screen childhood buddy Imran Khan and beer bottles. Deepika flaunts her bright and breezy side in the scene with aplomb.
There are some light and lovely moments in the first half, when Saif and Deepika decide to part ways on mutual understanding. The two indulge in partying together and boozing together. It is then that we get to relish some really charming dialogues by the two protagonists wherein while Saif tells her to refrain from drinking on dates as he had taken advantage of her many times when she was drunk during their courtship, Deepika cheekily admits that she was always conscious in those moments, very much enjoying what he did.
The gorgeous Deepika looks ravishing as a drunk girlfriend in a song sequence in the film. Her screen-man Farhan Akhtar is totally in awe of his lady and her sizzling moves.
In this very-modern, saucy rom-com about adult relationships and pre-marital sex, Deepika plays a scorching-hot, wild chic who lives in with her partner. In a chase to bring life to her ultra-modern, crazy character, Deepika does it all with utmost conviction - from sharing her bed with her man to consuming alcohol with ease.
Though Deepika is not the leading lady in this crime film, she clearly pulled crowds to the cinema halls - courtesy her flirtatious moves in the hot item number. The sexy lady sizzles the dance floor in her skimpy blouse and dangerously short skirt. It's a given that Deepika is high, as it's a nightclub number.
The latest peppy number from Ranbir-Deepika's upcoming film is one of its kind. Going by the lyrics and Deepika's moves & expressions, we know the girl has had bhaang before jumping into this jolly Holi number.

The Chronicle of Higher Education - May 30, 2012
Two bills requiring online, open-source material for the top 50 college courses in California have been overwhelmingly approved by the State Senate, according to the Associated Press. The material would be free on the Web, and printed copies would be available for a small charge. Sen. Darrell Steinberg, president pro tem and a Democrat, said the legislation would help to offset high tuition and fees by offering an alternative to "exorbitant" prices charged by textbook publishers. The bills are opposed by the Association of American Publishers.

Hate has no place here in Our Town
Our Town — The Centennial, which was so lovingly celebrated a few months ago.
Our Town — small, knit together on a wonderful, beautiful island, enjoying, welcoming visitors for our colorful county fair.
And there, on the busiest, most traveled corner of Our Town, was displayed the symbol of hate, destruction, evil, tyranny, despotism and murder so heinous I can hardly breathe thinking of him.
Yes, Hitler, Adolf Hitler.
Not only that, it was flaunted on the face of our president. Whatever those responsible hoped to say with this display, my reaction was one of horror and disbelief that this was perpetrated in Our Town.
Regardless of one's political views, this symbol of hate and murder has no place in Our Town.

Even when things were at there worst, it was hard to find a player in the Eagles locker room to speak negatively about Andy Reid as a coach or person.
While he said that he loved Reid as a person, ex-Eagles linebacker Jeremiah Trotter had some not so nice things to say about Reid the coach during his radio show today on 97.5 The Fanatic.
"I thought he was a great coach, but I do believe if both teams were even talent wise, I think the opponents team would win if it came down to coaching," Trotter said. "Andy Reid got out coached in a lot of games. A lot of big games."
Trotter also had some things to say about Reid's ability to coach on gameday, pointing to Reid's use of timeouts and his lack of balance in the run game.
"As a defense, we understood we passed the ball too much," Trotter said. "There would be times we would sit on the sideline and say 'Man, just get us a couple first downs so we can get a break.' It frustrated Jim Johnson also."
The former Eagles linebacker also took aim at the offenses inability to run a two-minute offense, something fans have pointed to for years.
"We knew if it came down to two minutes and we needed to score, we were up the creek," Trotter said.
The comments by Trotter, who was on the air with Mike Missanelli, Sal Paolantonio and Tim McManus, were some of the harshest comments about Reid from any player since his arrival in Philadelphia. Despite not winning a Super Bowl, Reid is the winngest coach in Eagles history and is thought of as one of the best coaches in the entire league in the national media.
Trotter also said that when it came to game day management, Reid paled in comparison to some of the great coaches in the league.
"On a scale of 1-10 where 10 is great, he is about a 7 or 8," Trotter said before saying Bill Belichick is a 10. "I'm best friends with someone who played for Belichick in New England and won Super Bowls. He told me 'When he (Belichick) tells you what to do, you do it because you knew it would work."
Trotter clearly did not feel that way about Reid.
Trotter had three stints with the Eagles, playing for the team from 1998-2001, 2004-2006 and one last time in 2009. Trotter's first departure from the team was a heated one, as the Eagles refused to pay him the big money he wanted. He eventually signed with Washington, playing just two disappointing seasons for the Redskins.

Carlisle Borough Council is likely to discuss both preliminary development plans for the Goodman Birtcher warehouses being planned for the western side of town, as well as plans for financing its own capital improvements, such as roads and vehicle replacement, at Thursday night's meeting.
Borough Council again has the Goodman Birtcher preliminary plans on its agenda for discussion and could vote to approve them. The California-based industrial developer plans to build about 3 million square feet of warehousing space mostly in Dickinson Township.
In July, Borough Council tabled review of the plans on Goodman Birtcher's request because the company said they weren't ready yet.
Borough Council also is scheduled to discuss its own capital improvement plans and how best to finance its multi-year needs such as borough vehicle maintenance and replacement, road repairs, water and sewer maintenance, and other infrastructure projects. According to a financial workup the borough prepared, it's looking at about $13 million for all projects over the next four years. If interest rates are low enough, the borough could use bonds or other debt financing to pay for the projects all at the same time.
A full preliminary agenda can be found at the borough website.
If you go
- WHAT: Carlisle Borough Council meeting.
- WHEN: 7 p.m. Thursday.
- WHERE: Borough hall, 53 W. South St.

Lady Cecil's Tiger Cliff thrust home late to claim a last-gasp victory in a thrilling Betfred Ebor at York.
Following heavy rain overnight, Europe's richest handicap promised to be an attritional affair, run over the stamina-sapping distance of a mile and three-quarters.
There was drama as soon as the stalls opened as leading contender Opinion completely blew the start, but luckily for him he soon made up the ground due to the sedate early gallop.
As the pace gradually increased, the strong-travelling Genzy looked the likely winner halfway up the straight, but challengers from further back began to emerge.
Genzy galloped on strongly in the final furlong, but 5-1 shot Tiger Cliff fairly flew home in the hands of Tom Queally to get up by half a length.
Number Theory was a length further back in third, with heavily-supported favourite Ted Veale making late headway into fourth.
Queally said: "I wanted to angle to the stands' side as much as I could because it's a bit quicker there.
"He travelled well and we were happy to see the rain as he has the attributes of a horse that handles cut in the ground.
"He always finishes his races and he dug deep when it mattered.
"It's probably one of the hardest races of the year to win.
"It's good when a plan comes together. It's great for Henry Ponsonby (owner) and the team at home."
Ponsonby admitted his emotion at the occasion after the death of Sir Henry Cecil earlier this season.
Ponsonby added: "I'm very emotional, I know Sir Herny would have loved this.
"It's just wonderful. He's still a very untapped horse this.
"I must thank my owners, Michael Marshall and Lady Cecil, all at team Warren Place."
Marshall was assistant to Cecil and has continued in the role since the licence was passed over.
He added: "It's a team performance - a great job.
"On his homework we felt he had a great chance, we weren't sure on the ground but we took a chance."
Genzy's trainer, Ian Williams, said: "You'd think he was the winner a furlong out. He's run a blinder and we're delighted with him.
"Probably his race last week (in the Geoffrey Freer at Newbury) left its mark a little bit, but we're very happy with him. He's run great.
"He may go to France and run in the stayers' race on Arc day (Prix du Cadran). He qualifies for premiums over there."

Three visualizations of Harris County demographics that pivot from the broadest, overall view to one that reflects more of the political reality. The first is a repeat of the map I ran yesterday.
Total Population:
18+ Population:
Citizen Voting Age Population:
If you want to dig into the details, here's the link for a side-by-side map view that lets you choose which two maps you want to compare. The default is Total Population (left) and CVAP (right). For good measure, I've also got a version of the side-by-sides for Fort Bend County, also. By all means, poke around.
The grand total numbers, so you can see the aggregated total is as follows:
Total Pop. (%) 18+ Pop. (%) CVAP (%) ----------------------------------------------------------------- TOTAL 4,092,459 2,944,624 2,195,535 ----------------------------------------------------------------- Anglo 1,349,646 (33.0%) 1,085,630 (36.9%) 1,090,624 (49.7%) Hispanic 1,671,540 (40.8%) 1,082,570 (36.7%) 494,695 (22.5%) Afr.-Am. 754,258 (18.4%) 541,108 (18.4%) 481,492 (21.9%) Asian 249,853 (6.1%) 194,956 (6.6%) 106,547 (4.9%) Other 67,162 (1.6%) 40,360 (1.4%) 22,177 (1.0%)
The CVAP numbers are going to get very interesting this time around. In the last Census, citizenship was asked on the regular Census form – the one that got asked of
100% of people (give or take) one in six Census surveys. This time around, the question was not on the Census form, but it was on the Census bureau's American Community Survey questionnaire. That is essentially a 2.5% sample that's used to get a number that also has a +/- margin of error. So that's how you get the statistical anomaly of Anglos in Harris County gaining nearly 5,000 people after backing out citizens from the 18+ universe. In areas that are undergoing significant demographic change, the measurement also uses datapoints from the middle of the decade. As we saw in the Pulaski County, Arkansas example … it understates the current reflection of demographic change.
The bad news is that CVAP data is required as part of the Voting Rights Act. As an example of it's uses, it is designed to show that a majority-Hispanic district does not lose enough voting strength for Hispanics to elect a candidate of their choosing. That's the point that commenter Mainstream has been berating me for since delving into demographics and redistricting.
I'm not yet to the point of looking for more info on how the Census vs ACS matter might be resolved, but it's pretty clear that other people have spotted this glitch and I can't imagine that the Justice Dep't will be completely flat-footed on it. In September of last year, David Hanna of the Texas Legislative Council noted some of the issues that may come up as a result of it with the Senate Redistricting Committee. So it's at least on the radar, along with all of the other redistricting laws, rules, customs, and guidelines that sometimes conflict.
As a sidenote and interesting algebra crunch from the data above, here's what the Under-18 population looks like in Harris County:
>18 Pop. (%) ----------------------- TOTAL 1,147,835 ----------------------- Anglo 264,016 (23.0%) Hispanic 588,970 (51.3%) Afr.-Am. 213,150 (18.6%) Asian 54,897 (4.8%) Other 26,802 (2.3%)
Meet your future, folks. Those younguns are more likely to be voter-eligible when they grow up.

Australia Selects Fugro to Renew Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 Search
Fugro Will Deploy Two Vessels to Try to Locate the Missing Jetliner
SYDNEY—Australia on Wednesday selected Dutch oil-and-gas consulting firm Fugro NV to lead a rebooted search for Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 in the southern Indian Ocean.
The selection follows a month-long tender process that also attracted bids from groups that specialize in recovering wrecks from deep water, including previous efforts to locate the Titanic in the mid-1980s and an Air France jetliner that crashed in the mid-Atlantic Ocean in 2009.
Australian Deputy Prime Minister Warren Truss said Fugro would deploy two vessels carrying a range of equipment including towed deep-water vehicles and video cameras to try to locate the jetliner, which went missing on March 8 en route to Beijing from Kuala Lumpur with 239 passengers and crew on board.
The search effort in an area spanning 20,000 square miles could take up to a year following its restart in early September.
"I remain cautiously optimistic that we will locate the missing aircraft within the priority search area, but this search will obviously be a challenging one" Mr. Truss said.
The hunt for Flight 370 has been overshadowed in recent weeks by the Malaysia Airlines jet shot down in Ukraine, but it remains one of the greatest mysteries in aviation history. Military search crews spent about 100 days scanning the Indian Ocean surface for debris after the Boeing 777 went missing, but turned up only floating garbage such as old fishing nets. An initial underwater search also failed to find any trace of the plane.
Officials also have repeatedly shifted the search area, underscoring the lack of clues to the plane's likely whereabouts. In late June, the Australian Transport Safety Bureau moved the search zone as much as 600 miles south of where the previous phase of the underwater hunt was focused, following more detailed analysis of digital handshakes, or so-called ping transmissions between Flight 370 and a telecommunications satellite owned by Inmarsat PLC.
This area straddles an arc extending across thousands of miles of sea, which is based on the final ping transmission that the plane made with the Inmarsat satellite. Authorities think this communication was the plane's electrical systems rebooting after its engines ran out of fuel.
Fugro has already dispatched the Fugro Discovery vessel to the Western Australia state capital Perth from the U.K., and will also use the Fugro Equator vessel, which is currently collecting bathymetry data as part of a joint effort with the Chinese ship Zhu Kezhen to map the sea floor in the search zone.
According to Mr. Truss, three-fifths of the search zone has been surveyed since April. The data could give Fugro a better understanding of the topography of the sea floor to ensure its equipment doesn't bang into deep-water ridges or get lost in ocean trenches.
Fugro would be supported in its search for Flight 370 by four Malaysian vessels, including two ships equipped with side-scan sonar and remotely operated vehicles.
Australia retains control of the search effort for Flight 370, while Malaysia continues to lead the investigation into what caused the aircraft to deviate from its original flight plan and ultimately head toward the southern Indian Ocean.
Australian authorities said in late June that they believe someone on board Flight 370 likely switched on the cockpit's autopilot system deliberately, putting the plane on a direct path to the southern Indian Ocean. They also said the end to Flight 370 was best explained by all passengers and crew becoming unresponsive, possibly after becoming deprived of oxygen. That was more likely than other scenarios such as the plane's systems malfunctioning or a stall due to storms, they said, based on the plane's steady altitude, its loss of radio communications, and other factors.

Wii 2 specs emerge, codenamed Project Cafe
Fairly detailed information on the specifications of Nintendo's next generation of home console have emerged along with the machine's development codename.
Project Cafe is rumoured to be powered by a custom triple-core IBM PowerPC processor and will feature an AMD graphics processor based on it's R700 chipset along with at least 512MB of RAM.
The controller is the most curious part with it supposedly featuring both a built-in sensor bar and a 6-inch touch screen and even a front-facing camera.
The machine is also rumoured to support Wii peripherals as well as Wii and GameCube games.

Comments on Mortgage Purchasing and Clarification on Addresses Rule
Credit union representatives commented on a proposed rule on purchased mortgages and the Treasury has clarified it's address notification ruling.
A Federal Reserve proposal on notifying homeowners when their mortgage is purchased is well-intentioned but should be slightly modified, CUNA and NAFCU wrote in comment letters.
The proposal would require people or institutions that acquire more than one mortgage in a 12-month period to notify the borrower.
CUNA Assistant General Counsel Jeffrey Bloch wrote that the rule would have limited applicability to credit unions because most don't buy mortgages, though it will have a greater impact on CUSOs.
He suggested that participation loans should be exempted because "borrowers will be confused when they receive a notice that details the various parties who have purchased portions of these loans. In our view the confusion of borrowers outweighs the benefits."
NAFCU Associate Director of Regulatory Affairs Dillon Shea wrote that only institutions that acquire more than five mortgages a year should be required to comply with the regulation. He suggested that this will help institutions and that "only acquire mortgages on a limited basis."
He also suggested that the regulation's provision exempting mortgages held for less than 30 days should be expanded to 60 days. This will help financial institutions because title holders will sometimes take longer than 30 days to sell a mortgage. It will also help consumers because they "may become confused if they receive multiple notices in a short period of time."
Separately, the Treasury Department's Financial Crime Enforcement Network ruled that a financial institution doesn't have to obtain a customer's residential or business address if the customer is part of an address confidentiality program.
Those customers "shall be treated as not having a business or residential address" and the secretary of state or other state official will act as a contact individual for purposes of complying with FinCen's rules, Jamal El-Hindi, the associate director of FinCen's regulatory policy and programs division, wrote recently.
He noted that the Bank Secrecy Act requires financial institutions to implement a customer identification program that includes "risk-based policies that enable it to form a reasonable belief that it knows the true identity of its customers" and the law also requires that the institution obtain an address. But he noted that the address requirement can be waived if a state has determined that the person's anonymity must be protected.
According to NAFCU's compliance blog, 31 states have set up address confidentiality programs, and they are used to protect victims of domestic violence, sexual assault and stalking.

The Ultra Sonic 147 is sort of right in between a true formula board (HWR/LWR) and a true slalom board
(Isonic 133 and smaller).
I have the 2011 UltraSonic 147 and at 170 lbs./77 Kg. I can get the US147 going with a 9.2 Sailworks
NX fw and stay planing in 8-9 knots of wind.
With an 8.5m2 Sailworks NX slm I can plane and stay planing in 10 knots.
At 130 lbs./59 kg. you should easily get on plane and stay on plane in 8-9 knots on an 8.5 m2 Free Race sail (better low end power than full on race sails).
Also the US 147 will work better in the 12-16 knot range for a lightweight sailor with 7.0-8.5 m2 rigs.
At around 17 knots (which you probably won't see until later in the fall) you will probably want to get on a smaller board anyway.
Formula boards perform well with formula sails and much less well with smaller sails.
The US147 will do well with smaller sails with a lighter sailor.
If you want to race, the US147 would work, and I'll bet the racers would welcome another woman out on the race course, even on a less that fully certified formula board (unless you start beating them at their own game....?)
If not the UltraSonic 147, have you thought about a Formula Experience board? These do pretty well with smaller sailors and smaller sails.
Roger, I would agree with you on most things, other than Formula Experience comment, it's heavier,
a bit softer rails, it will not plane as fast as similar shape formula. For lightweights what works well is
lighter board, can be a little narrower tail since chances are instead of 11-12 m2 sail, person will be using
9-10 m2, and a custom XXXSoft fin. I plane on described gear as early or earlier than bigger guys on 12 m2
with my 10 m2.

Board clears path for teacher 'action'
Theyre on the same page on this one.
As expected, the Central Kitsap School Board supported a request from employee unions to take the day off Jan. 14 to march on the State Capitol in Olympia.
The teachers, represented by the Central Kitsap Education Association (CKEA), and the support staff, represented by the CK Educational Support Professionals (CKESP), voted recently to march in support of money for teachers, staff and districts despite a projected $2.5 billion shortfall in the state budget this year.
Now that the School Board has changed the calendar to make Tuesday, Jan. 14 a non-school day and Friday, Jan. 31 a school day, there will be no school-sponsored student activities on Jan. 14. All athletic practices and competitions have been rescheduled.
Local unions see the day as an opportunity for lower-echelon employees to show support for education something administrators are also doing in their own way.
Washington state is currently experiencing a $2.6 billion budget shortfall. No one at CK School District wants children to suffer because of the shortfall. They said they feel cuts should be made in less important areas of the state budget that the states constitution mandates education as a priority.
CKEA President Christi McCorkle and Sue Watson, CKESP president, formally notified the CK School Board of the local unions decision late last month.
The 183-day school-year calendar is a rigid instrument. Teachers offered the board one of several days off in exchange: Jan. 31 (end of semester); March 14 (typically a non-school day); a day during Spring Break; or June 19 (a snow make-up day).
The board voted unanimously to accept Jan. 31 as the new instructional make-up day. Certain parents were not happy, however, and have communicated this to administrators.
The principals will talk to staff and students about Jan. 31 becoming a work day, said board president Chris Stokke. He said many families had made plans and reservations for the three-day weekend. Trips in which their children would not be attending school Friday. Stokke said taking kids out of school one day is OK.
The two unions said that as of Nov. 26, 79 locals around the state would participate. The idea, said McCorkle, is to show sheer force of numbers, not meet formally with legislators. She said 35,000 teachers around the state plan to march.
According to Washington Education Association Online, the purpose of the State Day of Action is for school employees from across the state to join with parents, school board members, administrators, students and other supporters of education to send a message to lawmakers urging them to preserve quality schools.

Just weeks ahead of the first primary vote, GOP operatives are reportedly still considering a plan to take down Donald Trump. The latest scheme, Politico reports, would employ Alex Castellanos, former adviser to Mitt Romney and George W. Bush, who has reportedly been meeting with top GOP operatives to "gauge interest in launching an anti-Trump vehicle that would pummel the Manhattan businessman on the television airwaves":
Those who've met with Castellanos say he's offered detailed presentations on how such an offensive would play out. Castellanos has said that an anti-Trump ad campaign, which would be designed to cast him as a flawed strongman, would cost well into the millions. It was unclear, the sources said, whether Castellanos, who did not respond to a request for comment, would ultimately go through with the effort. [Politico]
While this plan centers on Trump, Politico reports that the fear extends beyond just his nomination. The establishment is also reportedly worried about the effects of Ted Cruz winning the nomination. Some contend that if either Trump or Cruz's name tops the ticket, everyone below — be it a GOP candidate for governor, senator, or Congress — is in peril. "At some point, we have to deal with the fact that there are at least two candidates who could utterly destroy the Republican bench for a generation if they became nominee," a former chief of staff to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said. "We'd be hard-pressed to elect a Republican dogcatcher north of the Mason-Dixon or west of the Mississippi."

If you live anywhere between Atlanta to Los Angeles, you might not need to bother getting out your winter coat. Federal weather forecasters announced Thursday that it's looking like it will be a pretty mild winter in that southwest stretch of the country, thanks to the beginning of La Niña. The La Niña weather pattern, which Time reported is "characterized by below-average temperatures cross the equatorial Pacific," means the American Southwest will largely see "warm and dry weather" this winter; unfortunately, that won't do much to assuage the region's persistent drought, which forecasters now say could spread to the southern plains.
Folks in the northern area of the Midwest and in the Northeast mid-Atlantic won't be quite so lucky with the balmy temperatures: Forecasters said Midwesterners in the northern part of the region should anticipate a "colder and wetter" winter because of La Niña. In the Northeast mid-Atlantic, winter should be business as usual.
With this year's unusually warm weather, Mike Halpert of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Climate Prediction Center said Americans should expect the unexpected. "[R]egardless of the outlook," Halpert said, "there is always some chance for extreme winter weather." Becca Stanek
Hours after a 10th woman leveled allegations of sexual misconduct against Donald Trump, the candidate's campaign released a statement calling "these circus-like antics" the work of Hillary Clinton's team. Trump's deputy communications director Jessica Ditto said in a statement that Gloria Allred, the lawyer representing Trump's alleged victim Karena Virginia, was nothing more than a "discredited political operative" participating in a "coordinated, publicity-seeking attack with the Clinton campaign." "Give me a break," the statement said. "Voters are tired of these circus-like antics and reject these fictional stories and the clear efforts to benefit Hillary Clinton."
At a press conference Thursday, Virginia accused Trump of sexually harassing her and grabbing her breast at the 1998 U.S. Open. Virginia said Trump asked her, "Don't you know who I am?" Trump has repeatedly said he does not know the women who have come forward accusing him of unwanted sexual conduct, but Virginia said that regardless of whether Trump remembers her, she certainly remembers him.

Thanks to Donald Trump, Janet Jackson's 1986 hit "Nasty" is enjoying a resurgence. Spotify reported Thursday that since Trump called Hillary Clinton "such a nasty woman" at the third presidential debate Wednesday night, streams of Jackson's song have increased 250 percent.
In the lyrics, Jackson talks about how "nasty boys" who think "nasty thoughts" and aren't respectful "don't mean a thing" and "don't ever change." "Better be a gentleman, or you turn me off," sings Jackson, who was nominated this week for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
In celebration of the last presidential debate of the 2016 election, give the song a listen, below. Becca Stanek
Independent cybersecurity firm SecureWorks has confirmed that Russian hackers broke into Hillary Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta's Gmail account after he fell for a phishing scam, a report by Motherboard published Thursday revealed. Politico reported Podesta "unwittingly gave hackers access to his account by clicking a Bitly link that redirected him to a fake Google login page, where he entered his credentials."
SecureWorks determined Podesta was likely hacked by the same group, known as Fancy Bear, that is thought to be behind the recent breaches of the Democratic National Committee and the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. Fancy Bear is believed to be connected to Russia's military intelligence agency, and the Bitly account is just the latest piece of evidence linking the hacks to the Kremlin.
The hacks of Podesta's email, former Secretary of State Colin Powell's email, and other groups "were done using the same tool: malicious short URLS hidden in fake Gmail messages. And those URLs ... were created with a Bitly account linked to a domain under the control of Fancy Bear," Motherboard explained. Read their full report here. Becca Stanek
We're experiencing a four-year low in the world's level of wine production, and the timing probably couldn't be worse for Americans. As the U.S. grapples with the election of a lifetime, the International Organisation of Vine and Wine revealed Thursday that worldwide wine production in 2016 is on track to fall 5 percent from last year's production levels. This means 2016 could mark one of the three worst years for wine production in almost two decades.
Thankfully, experts are confident the amount of wine made "should meet consumer demand" — though drinkers of malbec and carménère might have some cause for concern, The Guardian reported. The dip in wine production is being attributed to "climactic events," the effects of which are exceptionally pronounced in South America, where those two varieties are largely produced.
But while countries in South America — particularly Argentina, Brazil, and Chile — as well as European countries, including Italy and France, are seeing declines in wine output, the U.S. is pulling ahead. Production in the U.S. is forecast to grow 2 percent in 2016.
Which is all to say: When Nov. 8 finally rolls around, there should be plenty of wine to pour yourself a glass. Becca Stanek

Donald Trump will "totally accept" the results of the presidential election — assuming he wins, that is.
To date, Trump has flatly refused to confirm he will concede the election if Hillary Clinton wins and has continued to stoke debunked concerns of widespread voter fraud. At the final presidential debate Wednesday, when asked point-blank if he would accept a peaceful transition of power, Trump said he'd keep Americans "in suspense, okay?" The New York Times, Washington Post, Wall Street Journal, and many other major newspapers ran the quote as a banner headline, with The Associated Press declaring Trump is "threatening a fundamental pillar of American democracy."
Trump feigned Thursday morning as if he would clarify the whole scandal: "Ladies and gentlemen, I want to make a major announcement today," he began at a rally in Ohio. "I would like to promise and pledge to all my voters and supporters and to all of the people of the United States that I will totally accept the results of this great and historic presidential election ... if I win."

BIRMINGHAM, Alabama -- In the United States, 20 million women and 10 million men suffer from a clinically significant eating disorder at some time in their lives, including anorexia, bulimia and binge eating, according to the National Eating Disorders Association (NEDA).
NEDA estimates that 90 percent of college-age women are persistently dieting and one-quarter are at risk of developing an eating disorder.
And these disorders can be deadly, with the highest mortality rates of any psychiatric illness.
The UAB Department of Psychology and the UAB Psi Chi International Honor Society of Psychology will seek to raise awareness of the problem with a series of events during National Eating Disorders Week, Feb. 24-March 1, according to UAB spokesman Bob Shepard.
--Tonight, a panel discussion between treatment professionals and people in recovery from eating disorders will be held at Samford University. The discussion -- sponsored by Highlands Treatment Center -- will take place at the Brock Forum Building at 5:30 p.m.
--On Wednesday, Psi Chi will host an afternoon of fun, interactive activities on the UAB Campus Green from 12-3 p.m. The event, called the National Eating Disorders Awareness Campus Day, will feature food, music, exercise, face painting and plenty of information about eating disorders.
--On Thursday, a candlelight vigil will be held at The Edge of Chaos meeting space, Lister Hill Library, fourth floor, 1700 University Blvd., at 6 p.m. Survivors, those in recovery and those currently struggling with eating disorders will share their personal stories. The event is hosted by Psi Chi and Highlands Treatment Center.
Attendees at the event Wednesday on the Campus Green will be able to tie-dye a t-shirt or even smash a pair of scales as a way to contribute financially to the fight against eating disorders.
Tie-dying a shirt will cost $10 and be available from 12-3 p.m., according to an event schedule supplied by Psi Chi vice-president Kate Sides. Attendees can smash their own scales or purchase scales for $10 from 12-1 p.m. or 2-3 p.m.
These donations will benefit NEDA.
UAB Counselling and Wellness, UAB Nutrition Sciences, Magnolia Creek Treatment Center and Riviera Fitness Center will be at the event to provide information.
There will be sessions of Zumba from 1:30-2 p.m. and Predator Conditioning from 1-1:30 p.m. and 2-3 p.m.
All events are free and open to the public. For more information, go to www.facebook.com/BlazingED.

This letter is addressed to all residents and tiny business owners here in the beautiful north of Michigan. It is with great sadness that our business of nine years has been placed in a position to even compose such a letter, but as active and concerned citizens in our community, we feel it would be wise to call for a 'heads up' alert.
Since the beginning of 2002 we have been victimized three times, with larceny on 1-2-02, theft on 6-20-02 and shoplifting on 7-3-02. In six months time we have evolved from an open, and loving business, excited to share our art with our customers, to disheartened, distrusting, and stressed shop keepers. We have installed dead-bolt locks on all doors, motion detectors, motion lights, and signs of warning to would be violators.
We know that theft is no stranger to residents and businesses in the north. What is ironic is our shop promotes a positive lifestyle and high spiritual (not religious) endeavor. If this is a sign of current times, with the economy stagnating into a downward cesspool of criminal activity, then we, honest, loving and caring individuals need to become vigilant, over-protective and watchful. If we had known in December of 2001 what we had to look forward to in 2002, we would have installed protective equipment then, to prevent such loss, and avoid the deeply discouraging black hole that now exists in our hearts and minds.
Residents and tiny businesses, at least in small Northern Michigan communities, are feeling the
economic 'No Confidence' attitude, so cash flow is at a trickle and crime and violations of our hard endeavors are chopping into our tree of faith, trust, and hope for a positive future. My husband and I have heard and read of many petty thefts and violations that have taken place in
our communities to private citizens and small businesses. The police come and take the report, and photos and then leave. It is up to us to protect ourselves through vigilant watchfulness, wise action, and steadfastness in our convictions.
Our tiny business, Sacred Sparks, remains alive but wounded, and we will heal. But things here at our humble homestead will never be the same. We now discreetly take notes on all characters we deem as shady, descriptions of their appearance, time they entered our shop, vehicle
description and license plate numbers, and any other key notations we feel is pertinent. We keep a notepad and pencil in our vehicle as well, in case we witness strange activity, we can jot down license numbers, times and descriptions of people involved.
We are offering a reward leading to information that will lead to the recovery of a "Great Blue Heron" Garden Sculpture that was stolen from the front of our shop at 2 a.m. on June 20. There are only two in existence. The first is legally on Beaver Island and the other in the possession of a dastardly low life thief. It is crafted from 3/16 inch rusty steel and stands almost 4 feet high. Two people were involved in the theft, driving a dark colored, newer model car.
If we all look out for each other then the dark hearted scoundrels will
not succeed in their shady crimes.

Access denied? Good
As a recent arrival to Benzie County and a lifelong citizen of the USA, I
read with great interest about the proposed changes to access at Sleeping
Bear National Lakeshore I attended the hearing at the Travese City library to
get more informed and to express my opinion. This issue does not concern only
area residents but any resident of the United States, because it is a
national park.
I treasure the time I get to spend in the woods and appreciate so much of it
around here to enjoy. However, I believe that the national parks are not
protected as "outdoor amusement parks," but rather to preserve wilderness for
the health of the flora and fauna that flourish there, ultimately
benefiting humans!
I support the park's plan to limit access, even if it keeps me out. The parks
need to exist to preserve pristine ecosystems and biodiversity, not for our
entertainment. I value the presence of these wilderness areas, PERIOD. That I
get to respectfully venture into these areas and learn more about nature and
more about myself is the icing on the cake.
If a tree falls in a forest and no one is there to hear it, does it make a
noise? ABSOLUTELY!

Political oblivion
I have been pleased with your candor and courage to publish
such as Mrs. Helen Milliken's fine expose of the destruction to be
wrought in making a bypass of the Boardman route. I hope the Northern
Express is equal to the challenge of exposing the candidacy of MICHELLE
McManus for the State Senate seat her uncle George is leaving. George
made the state safe for pig manure. Simultaneously Michelle, then our
inept state representative, was conspiring with waste haulers to make
the Leelanau peninsula a dumping ground.
Will the Express recall to the attention of its readers that Michelle
was involved in petition election fraud. It was found she had a minor
female drawing up the fake petitions on McManus' property. Republican
Secretary of State Candice Miller fiddlefarted with the matter long
enough for the McManus crowd to develop a cover-up. The person who was
writing up fraudulent was an intern to McManus, being a minor female,
should be forgiven. McManus who had orchestrated the whole thing was not
found to have done wrong. How silly have our politics become!
Yes, there are plenty of reasons to cast M. McManus to political

S.D. Hyman, G.R. Denn, H.M. Yochum (Sweet Briar College)
In the early 1990's, Sweet Briar College, a small liberal arts college for women in rural Virginia, began a program to encourage students to engage in research with faculty. Participation in both summer and academic year research on campus has grown significantly, and has had a very positive impact on science enrollments and opportunities for employment and graduate school. We present a chronology of changes implemented by the Department of Physics over the past ten years that has enabled students to engage in research in various fields with an emphasis on radio astronomy and laser spectroscopy. Both internal and external funding support have been essential to the success of this campus-wide initiative, in general, and to the Department of Physics research program, in particular. Current external support for research in radio astronomy at Sweet Briar is provided by Research Corporation, the Jeffress Memorial Trust, and the National Science Foundation. We discuss strategies for obtaining such support and for involving undergraduates in research.

WARRENSBURG, Mo. — Senior forward Mikal Monette compiled his second consecutive double-double with 23 points and 11 rebounds as Eastern New Mexico University's men rolled past Tabor (Kan.) College 78-56 on Friday in Central Missouri's Thanksgiving Classic.
Monette sparked a 15-1 run that snapped an early 9-9 tie and gave the Greyhounds control of the game. The Bluejays (1-5) rallied to make it 26-25 with just under seven minutes left in the half, but they managed only one more field goal the rest of the period as ENMU rebuilt its lead to 38-27 at the break.
The Hounds (2-2) take on the host Mules, ranked 17th in NCAA Division II, in a 6 p.m. (MST) tipoff today.
Tristan Largent added 17 points, six rebounds and three assists for the Hounds, while guards Stephen Wilson and Kevin Davis came off the bench to add 14 and 10 points, respectively.
Andy Brubacher had four 3-pointers and finished with 22 points for Tabor, while Greg Munroe added 15 points.
Monette's dunk a minute into the second half gave Eastern a 13-point lead and the Bluejays never got the margin under double figures the rest of the way.
The Hounds shot 67 percent from the field in the first half (16-of-24) and finished at 49 percent for the game. Monette went 10-of-15 from the field, while Wilson was 6-of-10 and Davis 5-of-6.

I know ya'll all now see the light, but for you former ;) Brooks lovers. If you still love Brooks (Haslett and umm Haslett about sums it up) this article will shed some light on things!
Just to let you know what this article is about...
Notice that no one mentions STATS. Vick has thrown only 13 touchdown passes, the same as part-time starters Rodney Peete (Carolina) and Jim Miller (Chicago), neither of whom will get to the playoffs -- or to Canton. QB Mojo gets its value from the tangible way it affects the rest of the team . "Everyone believes in Michael Vick," says Bradshaw. "Now, he won't always do it, but the belief that he might elevates those around him."
Eagles coach Andy Reid says it all stems from the core of the quarterback himself. It's why the MOST GIFTED PASSERS don't always make great gamers. Cases in point: Ryan Leaf, Jeff George, David Klingler. Players won't follow phonies. They gravitate naturally to the real thing like metal shavings to a magnet.
Maybe AB can fall in line with these guys... Im not giving up on him yet, but now I can smile when I used to have to worry about me bashing Brooks. More ppl have seen the light! :)

Aww Grumpy Caveman! I'm all about being a yolk!
I personally prescribe to my own watered down version of this in my relationships and have had success. I realize it might seem archaic to most women, probably horrifying, but I have found I garner far more respect from a man when I acknowledge our differences; my weaknesses and his strengths, and instead of trying to overcompensate or make him feel bad for being stronger than me, let him be stronger. In turn, he respects my strengths in other areas and lets me help him there without ever feeling like I'm belittling him. The balance that is so often lacking in relationships is easy to find, it happens when a woman embraces being a woman and stops trying to be a man and when a man embraces being a man and stops apologizing for not being a woman. I'm not going to get mad at a guy I'm dating for not having the same emotional reaction to something as I do, if I want a females opinion, I'll call my mother. I guess I'm a brainwashed fool because I want to be a girl and to be treated as something that you need to be a little more gentle with and should be cherished.I'm not fragile, I'm not weak, and I'm not lazy, but you can carry the firewood inside for me,you can open the door for me,you can even reach something on the top shelf so I don't have to get a step stool and climb, I find no insult in it. I know men are perfectly capable of cooking and keeping house, but it comes naturally to me, I find joy in doing it, so I'd rather do that. Just like I'm sure some guys would rather chop down a tree then make a decorative edge on a pie crust. More power to you if you like a crumb topping, I like chopping wood, but I'm sure not as fast at it as my SO.

Seriously, I don't care. I would RATHER have the guy show off his muscles by carrying in the firewood and opening the stuck pickle jar and all that, and I'm old fashioned enough (or cheesy enough) to love it when a guy opens the door and all that jazz. Yeah, I'm a sap.

Oh how dare you post something that has the word colored in it! That is an unacceptable term dammit! I think you might be racist for even searching a picture like that on the internet, I don't care if it has historical roots to a social and political shift that changed the way our country not only views minorities but also genders, you googled it, you're racist.End of story. Are you a member of the KKK? Gasp,I just mentioned a group of unmentionables. I've got to go scrub my skin raw while chanting Al Sharpton's name, praying to Oprah and listening to a Kanye West album.
I'm from the South, born and raised in a climate of hate that taught me one thing, we're all equally guilty of not loving our neighbor.
We've finally done it, we went from talking about tits, ass and guns, moved right on along to insulting the military, jumped into sexism and made a beautiful segway into racism.
I'm just disappointed we never talked about STD's and only briefly mentioned politics.

Sun Peaks, BC - Some of Canada's best tribute bands will take the stage during the 4th Annual Retro Concert Weekend at Sun Peaks from August 16 to 18. Well-loved songs from The Tragically Hip, AC/DC, ZZ Top, Ray Charles and other classic artists will have guests dancing and singing in the village streets.
"Retro Concert Weekend has become a signature Sun Peaks summer event," says Christopher Nicolson, president of Tourism Sun Peaks. "Crowd numbers have grown every year. The music, atmosphere and energy appeal to everyone from young families to older couples and everyone in between."
To accommodate the expanding crowds, the performance stage has been moved to a new location near the base of the mountain featuring three patios with prime viewing and a grassy area for lawn chairs and blankets.
Performances run from Friday evening to Sunday morning, spanning genres and generations.
"This year guests will hear music from as far back as the 1940's and from as recently as 1990's," says Nicolson. "We have bands that are completely new to Sun Peaks and are also welcoming back some returning favourites."
A new addition to the weekend, the 11th Annual Jo's Road Race, will take place on Saturday, August 17. The race is a fun and festive 1 km walk and a 5 km or 10 km run through Sun Peaks' village and along the golf course. Hundreds of participants will be dressed to impress in their "Get Retro" costumes. They will also be fundraising for a local charity.
"Big Brothers Big Sisters Kamloops is our charity of choice for 'Get Retro' through fundraising and raising awareness," says Jo Berry, of Jo Berry's Run Club. "Our organization's passion is about movement for kids and youth. All of our events are about giving back which has many currencies – to the individual, to groups and to our partners in the community."

Council picks plans for possible grant funds
After several weeks of discussion and debate, Tiffin City Council has chosen which Community Development Block Grants programs it will apply for during a special city council meeting Monday.
Council chose the reconstruction of Schonhardt Street from Madison Street to Main Street for the Critical Infrastructure Program Grant and chose the complete rebuild of Plum, Carl, St. Clair and Orange streets for the Neighborhood Revitalization Grant.
The Critical Infrastructure and Neighborhood Revitalization grants are competitive set asides from CDBG worth up to $300,000, and are not guaranteed to the city.
The city will receive $75,000 from CDBG's Formula program, which can be put towards the two set-aside projects if approved. Council has approved using the Formula money towards tearing down the former Salvation Army building, if the city does not receive the competitive grants.
In other business, the council heard the second of three readings of an ordinance to authorizing the sale of about seven acres of land in Eagle Rock Business Park to American Fine Sinter for $15,000 an acre.
Law Director Brent Howard said the city has a lease for farming purposes on the property and has 30 days to terminate the lease.
Howard said the city is to pay the tenant for losses of funds put into the property, in addition to a proration of the rent for the property.
He said selling the land was planned for when the lease was written.
Also during the meeting, City Administrator Deb Reamer said the city has received a notice from the Ohio Department of Commerce to either repair or decommission the elevator in the former Salvation Army building.
Reamer said it would cost $1,265 to repair the elevator and to decommission the elevator would cost the city $2,800.
She said the city has to act quickly or it will be fined by the state.
The city is expected to demolish the building once it has the funds to do so, but because it would be cheaper to repair the elevator in the vacant building, members of the council, including Councilman Mark Hayes and President of Council Paul Elchert, said the city should repair the elevator.
