The rankings are based on an index built from 18 components, each of which measures some element of employment, output, or housing prices for each area.
Birmingham has recovered somewhat from its ranking of 71st back in August, but is down slightly from its November ranking of 47 in the most recent update.
Birmingham's unemployment rate is down slightly over the past year, and manufacturing employment is slightly higher. But across all industries, the region has not seen much job growth. Since the summer of 2010, Birmingham area employment has hovered just below 490,000 jobs, down significantly from a pre-recession peak above 530,000 jobs.

1.North Carolina
11.Wake Forest
15.Ohio State
20.Notre Dame
Considered but left out: Florida State 7-1 (beat Florida); Brigham Young 8-0 (four road wins);
Minnesota 8-0 (beat VA by 10).
Finally some scalps for Big Ten fans to get excited about. It was a big week for the league.
Most impressive is Michigan and John Beilein, who's doing what he's done his entire career -- build something out of nothing with a perimeter-based motion offense hybrid that gets everyone involved. The Wolverines look like the WVU Mountaineers in 2004, a budding, energized team that really believes in a system and the coach. When you see those zealot eyes in a group that used to be so hollow and blase', look out. They move, they screen hard and they attack with purpose. It's beautiful basketball to watch. Scalps now of UCLA and Duke (with which they've already played two and split), U-of-M is nicely set up for the NCAAs. And agile big man DeShawn Sims, who Beilein was playing as a sixth man (to send a message?) is looking like the Big Ten player of the year.
Ohio State went into Miami and upset the Hurricanes in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge, then beat Notre Dame on a "neutral" floor in Indy. Buckeyes are unbeaten with Butler (likewise) on deck at the Schott on Saturday.
A big and pleasant surprise is Northwestern, left for dead after another dreary season under the belicose Bill Carmody. This is a different team than we've seen, running that Princeton weave with some bounce and really wearing defenses out. DePaul, missing its top scorer and rebounder, could only manage 36 points in a 27-point NU rout on Saturday. And the Wildcats earlier dismantled Florida State by 14 (it wasn't that close) for the Seminoles' only loss of the season (FSU has beaten Cincinnati, Cal and Florida and I had it ranked last week). NU's only loss was by 4 at unbeaten Butler.
Carmody finally has recruited some size, a quality he's never had. Two freshmen are providing quality time. John Shurna, a 6-8 wing shooter, is also boarding and is that perfectly versatile big man the Princeton system needs. A big Serb named Luka Mirkovic who played for Delray Brooks in Indiana is giving Carmody some minutes. Craig Moore and Kevin Coble have blossomed as a direct result and are scoring and rebounding like demons.
The NCAA can scream all it wants that conference brethren are not necessarily compared to one another come March. But the fact is, there are situations where you know the selection committee tends to spread the wealth the best it can among conferences. And if it comes down to Penn State against one of these teams for the last spot in an unspoken Big Ten quota, forget it, the Lions are losing out unless Georgia Tech plays out of its mind.

To Whom It May Concern:
With all our writers having moved on to bigger and better things (and in one case moved to another country) it seems the right time to call an end to Slutty Fringe.
There'll be no over-thought dissection of the current state of MP3 blogging, nor any grand justification of this decision – just a thank you to all the artists who sent us their music (and their favourite haircuts) and played at our parties, all the people that read our words and partied with us and all the PR companies who put up with our acerbic responses to their enquiries over the six years the site was active.
We'd also like to specially thank Emma, our designer, whose redesign of the site, posters, flyers and record sleeves consistently made us look more professional than we ever were.
Slutty Fringe will remain free to browse as a footnote in the ongoing battle of wits between the internet and the music industry, but the email for submissions will be closed which is probably a good thing as it's currently creaking under the weight of some 25,000 unread messages.
You can find out what we're all up to here…

New stores always make an impact, especially at the beginning of the holiday season.
That's what officials of the Village General Store hope will happen when the secondhand store opens on Oct. 28 in the former Northwoods Living work space.
Kathryn Cobeen, who works through Opportunity Village's chief development office, said the store is being opened by Opportunity Village, a partner with Northwoods Living in Fort Dodge, not just to raise funds, but as a good way to recycle.

Drew Sandkamp, of Fort Dodge, works on the former Northwoods Living workshop, 12 N. 25th St., that is expected to open Oct. 28 as the Village General Store. Northwoods Living and Opportunity Village, of Clear Lake, joined forces about two years ago. Clear Lake's Village General Store has been in operation since 1972. A lot of Christmas items will be available when the store opens.
-Messenger photo by Sandy Mickelson
Joan Portz, volunteer and training coordinator at Northwoods Living, a service of Opportunity Village, looks through boxes of items that will be for sale at the new Village General Store when it opens at 12 N. 25th St., on Oct. 28.
"We, as a nation, are wasteful," she said. "We're just filling the landfills. We've got to learn to use our resources better."
And that "better," she said, would be donating to the Village General Store. "It's a good way of being responsible."
Two years ago Northwoods Living in Fort Dodge merged with Opportunity Village, which already worked in Clarion, Eagle Grove and Webster City, among other places.
Fact Box
Items accepted:
Gently used clothing, shoes, kitchenware, holiday decorations, home decor, furniture in good repair, books, toys and costumes.
Items not accepted:
Furniture in need of repair, ruined furniture or mattresses, large appliances, microwaves, TVs, console stereos, nonworking electrical items or appliances, VCR and DVD players, computers and computer equipment, paint, encyclopedias, baby furnishings, dehumidifiers and tires.
Did you know?
Village General Store, 12 N. 25th St., is expected to open Oct. 28.
Store hours will be 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, 1 to 5 p.m. Sunday and closed Monday.
Anyone interested in being a volunteer at the new secondhand store should contact Joan Portz, volunteer services coordinator, at 573-5757, ext. 306.
Donations are being accepted and should be dropped off under the awning on the driveway to the back of the store.
Paper bags, plastic bags and rubber bands also are needed.
The Village General Store reserves the right to refuse any donations.
No item should be left after hours.
The store provides a non-cash gift receipt at delivery.
"Our Northwoods Living goals and Opportunity Village goals and missions very much match," said Kris Hillmer-Pierson, a development assistant for Opportunity Village, which serves more then 680 people with intellectual disabilities, mental illness and other disabilities through northern Iowa.
She said, "The Village General Store accepts donations of items in good condition, to be sold to the public. All proceeds from the store go to support services to people with disabilities, so your donations are directly improving the lives of others. You also make the buyer happy when they find a great treasure at a bargain price."
Opening another secondhand store in Fort Dodge won't hurt existing stores, Hillmer-Pierson said. "If you have more than one, it's actually a plus."
Cobeen agreed. "It's like antique stores banding together."
With secondhand stores, customers never know what they'll find, nor is it likely they'll ever find the same items again. That's the nature of secondhand shopping.
Ivy Carnelley will be store manager at the Village General Store, and a search is under way to find an assistant manager. Volunteers will make up the work force. Some will be clients at Opportunity Village.
"We'll eventually need 70 volunteers," said Joan Portz, training and volunteer coordinator at Northwoods Living. The volunteers will sort, price and display merchandise, serve as cashiers, assist customers and research the value of antiques or collectibles that may be donated.
Volunteers also will pick up large donations, test electronic games and test and repair small appliances.
Cobeen doesn't worry about finding volunteers to keep the Village General Store open.
"People who volunteer always have one thing in common, which makes them nice people to know," she said. "They're all givers. You get to meet interesting people, and they're all givers."
The organization has been holding giant garage sales for years, said Portz, and this new store is just turning that practice into a business.
Hillmer-Pierson said "the store's purpose is to offer quality used clothing and household items at affordable prices to the community and to create opportunities to serve through volunteerism and with non-cash contributions."
The store also will provide jobs and training to people with disabilities, generate revenue for Village services to people with disabilities and increase awareness of Village services.

The cards are already in use in Canada, Mexico and countries in Europe and Asia. Experts say they could have protected U.S. consumer data in the recent security breach at Target stores. Dutch man charged with stealing Washington credit cards By The Associated Press • Jun 11, 2012 Bellamy Pailthorp / KPLU Federal prosecutors say a 21-year-old Dutch national coordinated the theft of about 44,000 credit card numbers worldwide, including some from the Boeing Employees Credit Union, by hacking into the sales system of businesses. Should you use debit or credit? By Dave Meyer & Greg Heberlein • Feb 21, 2012 Carl Glover / flickr.com When you're not paying with cash, do you prefer a credit card or a debit card? Organizations such as the Better Business Bureau and Consumer Reports prefer the security of credit cards. On this week's Money Matters, financial commentator Greg Heberlein and KPLU's Dave Meyer agree that credit cards offer the most security and benefits, but find debit cards still have a useful role to play.

It's all clicking at the right time for Newark Tech.
Junior guard Jared Hall scored a game-high 30 points, including 18 in the first half, to lead Newark Tech to its first sectional final in 20 years with a 71-55 victory over city-rival Shabazz in the semifinals of the NJSIAA/ShopRite North Jersey, Section 2, Group 2 yesterday in Newark.
Newark Tech, which has won five straight and seven of its last nine games, will visit Ridgefield Park Tuesday in the sectional final.
Leading 30-25 with 3:22 left in the second quarter, Newark Tech went on an 11-3 run, keyed by Hall's six points, to take a 41-28 lead at halftime and maintained that 13-point lead at the end of three quarters, 52-39.
"Our chemistry has been a lot better the past few games and we just wanted to come out and attack them early," said Hall, who had 11 points in the first quarter. "We wanted to get the ball inside and attack due to our size and it worked out well for us."
Shabazz pulled to within 11 points at 54-43 with 6:57 left in the fourth quarter but could not get any closer.
"We ran our stuff when we had to and we have been playing hard and playing together," said Newark Tech head coach Joe Jordan. "This is our fourth game with everybody back and it makes a big difference. I though Tyree (Sykes) and Desmond (Cotton) had solid games for us."
Senior Michael Reid, who picked up three fouls in the first half, scored 15 points and Anthony Closs added 10 to pace Shabazz (15-11).
"We never got in a rhythm offensively or defensively and when Mike (Reid) isn't on his game, we really don't have a chance to beat anybody. So the early foul trouble really had us at a disadvantage," said Shabazz head coach DuJuan High, who took over for the late Hassan Carter who passed away New Year's Day. "I really appreciate the kids and the effort they gave me. Hassan would be proud."

St. C. youth chasing two national titles
A St. Clairsville area youth is chasing a pair of national championships.
Competing on the Mountain Dew ATV Motocross National Championship circuit, Jacob Visnic, the son of Rob and Melissa Visnic, ranks in the top three nationally in two divisions.
After winning the 90cc Auto Jr. 8-11 year-old division last week at the famous Unadilla track in New Berlin, N.Y., the young Visnic finds himself in third place and 20 points behind the leader, Bryce Ford, of Southlake, Tx., with two stops left. Corey Bost, of Loxahatchee, Fla., is in the middle, six markers ahead of Visnic.
Visnic earned 30 points for last week's win. He captured the first moto and finished second in the other. Ford, after finishing 10th in the opening moto, won the second to keep pace.
He previously won the second stop of the series back in April at Muddy Creek MX in Blountville, Tn. He has half-a-dozen trips to the podium, including three seconds and a third.
The next stop will be in Buchanan, Mi., on July 27-28 for the 1.5-mile RedBud MX.
In addition to the 90cc Auto Jr. 8-11 division, Visnic also competes in the 70cc CVT 8-11 class where he is currently in second place with 168 points. That leaves him two dozen points behind the leader, which also happens to be Ford.
Visnic also prevailed at Muddy Creek in this division and has reached the podium in seven of the eight stops He has three runnerup trophies and a trio of third-place awards.
In the 90cc Open for 8-11 year-olds, he is currently in fifth place with 103 points, which is far from leader Gunner Tebon, of Sturgeon Bay, Mi., who has 210. Tebon has won seven of the eight stops.
Visnic's best finish is fifth.
The final stop on the series will be at Hurricane Mills, Tn., on Aug. 10-11.
Good luck, Jacob!

Park's Grove Selected
Wheeling Park sophomore Michael Grove has been one of the elite baseball talents selected to play in this year's North vs. South All-Star game, which will be live in HD on CBS Sports Network Monday at 6:30 p.m. from RF&P Park in Richmond, Va., and is being held in conjunction with The Triple Crown U.S. National Championships.
The game will feature 64 of the best players in the event representing their state and club teams. Coaches nominated the four best players on their team by submitting a ballot to the Triple Crown Selection Committee. The committee then selected the top players and formed a North and a South team.
Each 16u and 17u playing in the tournament had at least one player selected for the game.
The Triple Crown U.S. Baseball Championships enters its fourth year in Richmond/Henrico County, VA, and has established itself as one of the premier college showcase events in the country for 16U, 17U, and 18U teams.

City reviews budget
In light of the economy, the city of Arlington has some tough choices to make on its 2009 budget. They reviewed the first draft of the budget at the Oct. 13 workshop.
"This is the worst revenue picture in the last 10 years," said City Administrator Allen Johnson.
"Sales tax is one of our major revenue sources and accounts for 31 percent of the city's general fund budget."
He said that Arlington's portion of the state sales tax had been steadily increasing since 1999.
However, due to the slow down in construction and the economy in general, 2008 revenue is projected to be $475,000 less than the 2007 actual.
"Real estate excise taxes have decreased by 50 percent in 2008," Johnson said.
The 2009 projections include sales tax on a new wastewater treatment plan, airport office expansion and the new hospital.
"These revenues fund major capital improvements," he added.
Arlington has used these revenues to repay debt for the North Olympic Avenue project and the new police station as well as parks projects.

Cross-posted at Daily Kos.
Good morning fellow moms, dads and caregivers!
I am back with your weekly parenting news update. Here are some topics we recently discussed here at MotherTalkers:
There were a couple of Supreme Court decisions that may be of interest. The most recent vindicated a teenager for a strip search she had to endure in school due to a zero tolerance policy against drugs like ibuprofen. But no individual school official was held accountable, according to CNN.
In a previous Supreme Court decision, the justices ordered public school districts to reimburse private school tuition to parents of special needs children — even if their kids never attended a public school, according to the Washington Post. Still, as one special education teacher in the story noted, parents would still have to pay tuition upfront and prove they needed the services in the first place.
We had a long discussion on the ethics of using nanny cameras.
There have been a lot of recession "trend" stories in the media like families cutting up their credit cards and adult children moving back home to save money. In the latter story, we discussed "ground rules" for when adult children move in. Has the economy caused you to have an intergenerational household?
Finally, caregiving fathers are in the news. Our "tessajp" wrote a diary about how 15 percent of all U.S. combat troops are women, largely mothers with stay-at-home husbands. Also, I reviewed a book called The Daddy Shift, which profiled couples with this non-traditional, but increasingly common setup.
We were saddened about the passing of entertainment legends Michael Jackson and Farrah Fawcett. As I mentioned in my open thread, I remember listening to Jackson's Thriller album on a record player. Also, I had Michael's juiced up curls, admittedly, not my finest moment.
While Charlie's Angels was before my time, there were many women on our site with fond Fawcett memories — and hair!
I am leaving to the east coast this week to attend my aunt's funeral and visit my grandmother in the hospital. (Yes, it's been a tumultuous couple weeks.) There will be no weekly roundup in a week, but I will resume it Saturday, July 11.
Thanks all! What's up with you?

When you're going against yourself, it's sometimes hard to get a true picture of where a team stands.
That was especially true Saturday as the Tulane football team wrapped up the third week of spring practice with a 68-play scrimmage.
With many of the team's top anticipated offensive playmakers sitting out to avoid injuries and few attempts made to throw downfield, the defense dominated, holding the offense to 164 total yards (2.4 per play) and registering 10 tackles for loss, including six sacks.
"We didn't have a lot of continuity," Green Wave Coach Bob Toledo said. "Our receivers were lining up wrong, and we had a lot of people who weren't doing the right things.
"The defense did a nice job, and I am pleased with them, but we're obviously not a finished product. Offensively, this is a shell of what our football team will be."
Still, there were things about the offense that had little to do with the fact that running backs Andre Anderson and Albert Williams, along with wide receiver Jeremy Williams, sat out the scrimmage.
On consecutive plays after the offense had driven from its 30-yard line to the defense's 5, tackles Cedric Wilson and Josh Smith had sacks.
On the next series, quarterback Kevin Moore dropped the snap at the 5 and on yet another red zone series, guard Tyler Rice was whistled for a false start.
"Back it up," a disgusted Toledo said after that play.
Finally, wide receiver Alan Mitchell dropped the ball on an end around.
"A lot of that is timing, and that's why you practice," Toledo said. "I'm not too overly concerned about it yet, but if happens in the fall, I will be."
While the offense was struggling, several players stood out on defense.
Linebacker Travis Burks was the top tackler with six, and converted running back Nate Austin, now at linebacker, had two tackles for loss.
Safety Chinonso Echebelem had five tackles and a big hit on Chandler Davis to break up a pass. Cornerback Philip Davis, defensive end Brooks Cunningham and safety Corey Sonnier also made impressive plays.
J.T. McDonald was the leading rusher with 14 carries for 67 yards. Casey Robottom was the top receiver with five catches for 51 yards.
There was little to separate the quarterbacks. Joe Kemp was 6-of-9 for 69 yards and on one play showed his escapability by avoiding two tacklers before making a completion.
Moore was 2-of-4 for 4 yards, and Ryan Griffin was 5-of-9 for 41.
The team will practice Monday, Tuesday and Thursday this week before finishing with the spring game next Saturday.
Toledo said hitting will be kept at a minimum during the week to avoid injuries.
GETTING CHIPPY: Perhaps the players are tired of hitting only each other, but there was more arguing, shoving and genuine ill feelings between the offense and defense than had been seen all spring, culminating with a brief fight between center Andrew Nierman and Burks.
Afterward, Nierman apologized to the team.
"We all need to learn to compose ourselves, especially me, " Nierman said. "I don't want to hurt my teammates, and we've got to learn to put the team above ourselves.
"Things weren't going right on offense today, and a lot of that goes back to keeping our composure. You can't let what happened two plays ago affect you for the next one."
DOUBLE DUTY, PLEASE: After the placekicking woes he experienced last year, Ross Thevenot might be expected to want to stick to punter where he ranked second nationally.
But Thevenot wants to do both.
"For whatever reason, I never felt real comfortable last year, " Thevenot said. "It all comes down to consistency, and we're out there working on it."
Thevenot was 9-of-20 on field-goal attempts last year, but the biggest problem was that five of them were blocked.
"Ross' problem was low trajectory, " Toledo said. "That made it his fault, and he knows it."
Tulane signed a kicker, Ryan Rome from Destrehan, but Thevenot, who averaged 45.8 yards per punt, is not giving up his kicking duties without a fight.
"Coach has talked about competition this fall, and kicker is no different from any other position, " he said. "And being versatile can help me down the road."
PONDER THIS: He's facing season-ending elbow surgery in a couple of weeks, but freshman quarterback/pitcher D.J. Ponder was in two uniforms Saturday, football during the scrimmage and baseball during the Wave's game against East Carolina which followed.
"I'm disappointed, " said Ponder, who first felt pain in his elbow pitching in a simulated game Wednesday. "But I want to be out here supporting my teammates and doing what I can to help them win."
Worse case baseball scenario for Ponder is that he will be out for six months, meaning he should be able to pitch next season.
As for football, playing quarterback may not be an option. He is being counted on to be the holder and might be used at wide receiver.
Tulane baseball coach Rick Jones said Saturday the school will attempt to get Ponder a redshirt season.
SUDDENLY SVELTE: Exchanging California tofu for Louisiana cuisine has led to Toledo gaining 15 pounds since coming to Tulane 2 1/2 years ago, but thanks to daily walks with assistants Dan Dodd, Greg Davis and Steve Stanard, Toledo has managed to shed 20 pounds in the past two months.
"We do a lot of talking while we're walking, " Toledo said. "And I've become more disciplined about watching my portions."
Toledo isn't the biggest loser of the group. Davis has dropped 38 pounds.
Despite his pride in his weight loss, Toledo isn't saying exactly how much he weighs.
"That's going to remain classified, " he said.
RUTGERS SERIES SET: Tulane will play Rutgers in a three-game series beginning with a 2010 game in Piscataway, N.J. The teams will meet in 2012 at the Superdome with the Green Wave going to Rutgers in 2012.
The schools have not met since 1998 when Tulane won 52-24 during the Wave's 12-0 season.
The rest of the 2010 non-conference schedule currently has home games against LSU and Ole Miss to open the season plus a home game against Army.
UPON FURTHER REVIEW: It turns out that there is one school whose first two opponents of 2009 have more combined victories than Tulane's. San Jose State has the formidable task of opening at Southern California (12-1) before playing host to Utah (13-0).
With Tulsa (11-3) and Brigham Young (10-3), both at home, Tulane does rank second nationally in that category. Plus, the Wave is the only team with three consecutive road games to close the season.
"I've been going around telling everybody our schedule may be the toughest in the country," Toledo said. "This doesn't change it much."

We'll respond shortly.
Since this article was written, version 1.7.0 of WebMock has been released, which includes WebMock.disable! functionality, as well as fixes the problem with selenium-webdriver. So please use that, instead of webmock-disabler.
Recently, one of my projects ran into a problem where our integration tests would intermittently fail with weird timeout errors and complaints about page elements that couldn't be found.
A little googling revealed that we weren't the only ones having this problem.
Apparently, WebMock, Selenium, and WebDriver don't play nicely together, even if you tell WebMock to allow the outgoing connections necessary to drive the browser.
Some Gemfile hacking revealed that it was the mere presence of WebMock that caused the error. If we removed WebMock from our Gemfile, our integration tests ran fine, but then of course all of our tests that actually needed WebMock failed.
At that point, we could have decided to run our integration tests separately from the rest of the tests, but we really liked the idea of having all the tests run in the same VM, to avoid the duplicate VM startup time.
What we really needed was a way to turn WebMock on and off selectively for different types of tests.
With some gnarly monkey patching and offensive use of
alias_method, I have created webmock-disabler, a gem which provides new
WebMock.disable! and
WebMock.enable! methods. You can use these methods in individual tests, or on classes of tests as shown in the README.
We're now able to run our tests that need WebMock in the same VM as those that would otherwise break if we didn't do
Celebration time!
Thanks, but wouldn't it be better to fork the webmock gem and submit a pull request? This is a bug within webmock, right?
Good thinking @Paul. Alas, I believe webmock-disabler only disables NetHTTP client integration. There's more work to cover them all before the feature could be merged to webmock gem.
I just released new WebMock 1.7.0 which does both:
1) Fixes selenium-webdriver compatibility
2) Adds WebMock.disable! and WebMock.enable! for all adapters, or selectively with :except option. Full changelog is here https://github.com/bblimke/webmock/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md
Great news, Bartosz- I'll update the article to reflect this.

Women build: Habitat house goes up soon on North Whidbey
Ladies, grab your Stilletos and get to work — Stilleto tools, that is. Next week begins Habitat for Humanity's National Women Build Week, an event that is celebrated by chapters of the organization across the country which asks women to devote at least one day to eliminating poverty and raising awareness of housing needs within their communities.
This will be Habitat for Humanity Island County's fourth year with the project. The organization will host its event from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, May 6 and 7, in Oak Harbor. This year the group was awarded a $5,000 grant from Lowe's to help fund construction. National Women Build Week is one of the projects supported by Lowe's five-year $20 million pledge to the nonprofit. This is the second time the chapter has been awarded a grant from Lowe's for Women's Build. Each year participating chapters must send in an application to be considered.
Habitat for Humanity officials decided to devote the money to building a home for the Asinsins, a Navy family that moved to Oak Harbor from Hawaii. The Asinsins have seven members in their family, two adults and five children, and their new five-bedroom house in the Crosby Commons Development near Oak Harbor High School will be the largest that Habitat has ever built.
On May 6 and 7, Habitat workers and the women volunteers will be framing the house. According to event coordinator Annee Imle of Habitat, the coordinators try to choose an activity that will get women out of their comfort zone and teach them new skills. She said they try to stray away from tasks like painting, which most women already have experience doing in their own homes.
"With an all female environment, the women are more comfortable and are willing to try new things," Imle said. "They always end up loving it."
Imle said in past years the event has drawn 20 to 30 women on build days. She said this year there will be T-shirts and water bottles handed out along with other goodies like coffee and donuts.
Additionally, lighter, more female-friendly tools, like those made by Stiletto brand, may be on site.
"We try to make it a fun experience to encourage women to keep coming back for projects," Imle said. "A lot of women maybe wouldn't come out on their own, but once they attend a Women Build they realize they really can do this. It's not just a man's job."
For more information or to sign-up call 679-9444 or email email@example.com
To date, female volunteers have built more than 1,800 Habitat houses nationwide during National Women Build Week with 20,000 volunteers participating from all 50 states.

Whidbey Islanders deal with a snow day
Debbie Gallo is training for a 50K trail run and she won't let some snow get in her way.
While schools closed and motorists slid around on the roadways, Gallo was running six miles through the snowy roads of Oak Harbor Wednesday morning. She has to keep up with her training so she can participate in the Chuckanut Mountain 50K run that takes place in March.
"It's beautiful. I love it," Gallo said as she was about half way through her morning jaunt. She loves running in the snow because it's quiet and peaceful and provides some cushion for her feet.
And she had plenty of snow to enjoy. Several inches of snow fell throughout the morning. And, with the cold temperatures in the region, it looks like the white stuff is going to stay for a while.
The snow prompted school officials in all three Whidbey Island school districts to cancel classes Wednesday. All athletic events and extra curricular activities were also canceled in Oak Harbor School District along with a number of public meetings and events.
Superintendent of School Rick Shulte worried that the snow might last for longer than just a day. With all the snow on the roads and freezing temperatures predicted tonight, he expected schools to at least be delayed on Thursday, or possible canceled again. The district's Web site keeps students and parents up to date.
People ventured outside Wednesday morning regardless of the snow and ice.
Gilbert Hogemire was walking down Pioneer Way with a bag of groceries in one hand and a cup of coffee in the other. He decided to get some shopping done but didn't want to risk driving on the roads.
"I'm going to be glad to be inside," Hogemire said as he was walking down the sidewalk.
Jeramy Rouse and Shawn Kraemer had a day off when Whidbey Island Naval Air Station closed down. But because they weren't on duty doesn't mean they weren't keeping busy. They were walking into Safeway to pick up some groceries for their respective families.
"We're doing our wives' bidding," Rouse joked as he headed into the store.
Students not bound for school Wednesday had a chance to build snowmen and enjoy the snow. Eleven-year-old Nicklas Walsh was up at 4 a.m. to see the snow fall. By 10 a.m., he was getting ready to start rolling snow for a snowman.
The early morning trip up the highway on Whidbey Island was slow going for the drivers who attempted it. Compact snow covered the road most of the way though no spinouts or other accidents were evident. With schools closed, traffic was down considerably.
By noon, Highway 20 in Oak Harbor was turning slushy, but it would likely freeze up again later in the day. Accuweather.com predicts a low of 18 degrees overnight in Oak Harbor.
All parts of Whidbey appeared to have received three to four inches of Tuesday night and Wednesday morning. Weather forecasts call for more snow today and tonight.
The entire island was covered with a blanket of snow, providing a winter wonderland scene to early risers Wednesday. Roads were white, trees were draped in snow and the island was unusually quiet as many people chose to stay home from work or leave later than usual.
Island Transit buses were running up and down the highway. "It's bad out there," said a spokesman at 7 a.m. Wednesday as phones rang incessantly in the background. He said the buses would try to stay on schedule on the main highway. Some side routes were still being utilized, but there was no certainty due to the continuing snofall. Anyone on a side route thinking of taking the bus should first call to make sure it's running. From North Whidbey, call 678-7771, from South Whidbey, call 321-6688.
The snow prompted organizations to call off a number of planned meetings and events for Wednesday night. The News-Times will post announcements on its Web site. Please email any meeting or event changes to firstname.lastname@example.com.

Many of these Cumberland County St. FX students who attended a send off party in Amherst with St. FX alumni could soon be studying on their own if teachers at the university go on strike.
ANTIGONISH - With the possibility of a strike lurking just around the corner at St. Francis Xavier University students there are starting to feel the stress.
"Talk about the strike is pretty huge here on campus. Everybody is stressed out about it," said Amherst's Sam Landry. "All our teachers talk to us about it."
Landry is in her fourth, and final, year of nursing and says teachers are already preparing students in case there is a strike.
"Teachers are pushing things ahead because they're not even allowed to e-mail us if they go on strike," said Landry. "So they're posting assignments on-line now so that if we can't contact them we can still work on our own."
Contract talks broke down on Saturday between university administration and the St. FX Association of University Teachers.
In a press release the university said they offered teachers minimum annual salary increases of 1.5 per cent, 1.5 per cent, 1.75 per cent and 2.0 per cent for a total compounded rate of 6.92 per cent over the life of the four-year agreement.
"They're meeting again next week and if they decide to strike they have to give us a few days (notice), so I think the earliest they can start the strike is Jan. 30," said Landry.
Landry says most students on campus are uncertain as to whether or not there will be a strike.
"I didn't think there was going to be a strike but I kind of do now because more people are saying that they think there will be a strike."
If the teachers do strike she hopes it doesn't last more than one week.
"If it's long enough they could postpone graduation and make us work through Spring Break," she said.
Her father, Greg Landry, is concerned about what would happen if the teachers end up going on strike for a long time. He said it could hurt her employment prospects.
"What bothers me more than anything else is that she's been working hard for almost four years and now her graduation could be pushed back to September," he said. "If that happens she would lose half a year of work in her field.
"She's worked too hard to have the teachers determine she can't graduate because of payroll."
He's also concerned about a planned school trip that's already been paid for, and wonders if they'd be reimbursed.
"That's supposed to happen at the end of the school year, and if they strike she'd have to go to school and miss the school trip to make up for missed time."
Sam said she doesn't want to stress her mom and dad out about a possible strike but her dad says, "It's upsetting."
"We pay a lot of money every year for Sam to go to school and now it all hinges on the teachers deciding if they want to keep working or strike."
Sam says St. FX is a great school, and talk of a strike hasn't changed her opinion, but she thinks the teachers should take the offer.
"I feel like we give them enough money but I guess there's more to it, like they say they're not being treated fairly, but, as far as money goes, I think they make enough," she said.

pamrsakp - generate keypairs for pam_rsa PAM-authentication module
pamrsakp user hostname pubdir privdir hashtype usepassphrase
The pamrsakp is a utility script for creating RSA keypairs that can be used with the pam_rsa PAM-authentication module.
All six arguments are required.
Issuing a command:
pamrsakp spock startrek.example.com /safedir/pub /safedir/priv sha1 yes
creates an RSA keypair for user spock. The public key is to be stored on host startrek.example.com. User spock would presumably use a USB memory stick (or other portable media) to store the corresponding RSA private key. Private key's filename is based on a SHA1 hash, and the private key itself is encrypted with a passphrase.
This script requires bash and will probably explode if any other shell is used

The Mohegan Sun Arena will turning back the clock on Friday and boogie as some of the disco era's biggest names perform at what the casino is billing as "The Biggest Disco Event of the Year."
Dance lovers can point and hustle to disco diva Gloria Gaynor singing her hits "I Will Survive" and "Never Can Say Goodbye," as well as to the uptempo sounds of Rose Royce with their classic "Car Wash."
Audiences can also burn up the dance floor when Carl Carlton serenades couples with his smash hit "Everlasting Love" and they can tap their platforms to Anita Ward whose "Ring My Bell" filled the dance floors in the '70s alongside Evelyn "Champagne" King's floor fillers "Shame" and "Love Come Down."
Disco music – influenced by funk, Latin and soul beats – flourished in the mid 1970s in clubs around the world and on the airwaves where artists such as KC and the Sunshine Band, the Bee Gees, Chic, Hues Corporation, and the Donna Summer could be heard singing to the music's syncopated beats.
Event: Disco Dance Party with Gloria Gaynor, Anita Ward, Evelyn "Champagne" King, Carl Carlton and Rose Royce
When: Friday, 8 p.m.
Where: Mohegan Sun Arena, Uncasville, Conn.
Cost: $25
For more info: Call (800) 745-3000 or mohegansun.com
Films such as "Saturday Night Fever" and "Thank God It's Friday" further propelled disco into the mainstream of music and many non-disco artists such as Andy Williams and Johnny Mathis saw their hits re-released to disco beats on 12-inch dance records. It's popularity was short-lived, however, and a continued backlash to the music finally sealed its fate by the end of 1979.
Gaynor, considered by many critics to be the "Queen of Disco," made history in 1973 when Billboard magazine gave birth to the Disco Action Charts and "Never Can Say Good-Bye" bowed at number on the charts, making it the first dance song to reach number one status in dance music.
Lending testimony to her place in the disco phenomenon, Gaynor, along with her hit song "I Will Survive," was inducted into the Dance Music Hall of Fame during a ceremony that took place in New York City in 2005.

Description: Female-fronted rock band with classical slant
Location: Albany, NY
1. Describe your music for LAUNCH Music Conference attendees
The new album is full of variety! Some of the songs are fast and angsty (like a sweet, sultry version of Paramore). Others are a bit heavy a la Evanescence. Many of the songs have that Silversun Pickups/Airborne Toxic Event/indie vibe while some songs might be considered dark & New Wave-ish (The Organ, New Order). All the songs feature violin textures that might be considered similar to Stars or Arcade Fire, while the ambient guitars give it an ethereal quality. Overall, it's up-tempo, female-fronted, melodic rock music that is wicked fun to hear, see, & play live.
2. What made you want to be part of the LAUNCH Music Conference?
We were selected for LAUNCH on Sonicbids.com and Rick gave us a call and told us all about it. There were so many great bands that had already confirmed the event and so many cool venues involved that we just had to be a part of it; even if it meant driving hundreds of miles from Albany, NY to Lancaster! We played in Harrisburg, PA last year as part of our summer tour so we're hoping to see some familiar faces at the shows April 17th & 18th!
3. What can conference-goers expect at the show?
Expect to be mesmerized! Of course we'd also love it if the crowds at our shows would dance around and cheer and maybe do a little moshing if so inclined, but for some reason our fans like to stand there and stare at us in awe. We have a few theories as to why this happens; Perhaps it's the 2 female electric violinists up front singing and running around the stage; Or maybe it's the 2 guitarists that manage to rock hard and heavy and at the same time as they spit out beautiful ambient, atmospheric sounds. Maybe it's the fact that our genius drummer & bass player are still only in high school... We're not sure! But we do know that you will enjoy an intense, impassioned, energetic show for sure!
4. What do you have in store for the rest of 2009?
Our new album, Lovethief, hits the stores May 14th and it's been getting rave reviews so far! After shows in April, we're planning a huge album release show in London this summer and a possible US arena tour in July! Our new song 'Him' was recently nominated by the LA Music Awards as Rock Single of the Year so we'll probably be out in Los Angeles in November for the awards ceremony. We have some other cool things coming up in the Fall with TV and radio but I have to keep it all secret right now - don't want to jinx it! Starting May 14th you can download Lovethief at www.sellaband.com/shop + iTunes & Amazon
5. Best advice for developing artists?
Keep writing, keep practicing, and trust your gut! Don't worry about what everyone else is doing - do what feels right and real to YOU.
Lunic will be playing on Friday, April 17 at 9:30 p.m. at Lancaster's Chameleon Club and on Saturday, April 18 at 9:30 p.m. at the Marion Court Room.
LAUNCH Music Conference will be coming to Downtown Lancaster April 16-19. It features a mix of bands from all over the country representing all genres of music. In addition to the performances, attendees will get access to two days of instructional panels, seminars and more, with speakers representing various aspects of the music industry, from management companies to booking agents to manufacturers, distributors and more.
Find a complete schedule of performers on the LAUNCH Music Conference Web site.

The roadsides are a rainbow of color right now - yellows, whites, pinks, and purples. With flowers in bloom, mid-summer is a good time to identify plants you might see along your daily commute.
One of the most prominent roadside plants is white sweet clover (Melilotus alba). It grows to heights of 3 to 5 feet, has multiple branching stems, numerous stalks of densely packed white flowers and greyish green foliage.
Chicory (Cichorium intybus) might catch your eye with its bright, bluish-purple, radial flowers. Reaching 3 feet, its stems are wiry and its leaves are somewhat angularly arranged. Did you know that chicory is best known for being associated with coffee? Its long, thick root can be roasted as a coffee substitute, though without the caffeine (and preferably not from plants growing along roadsides).

Bird's foot trefoil
Cow vetch
White sweet clover
Another purple flowering plant, though less conspicuous, cow vetch (Vicia cracca) grows closer to the ground with trailing or climbing stems. Its leaves have 8-12 pairs of narrow, oval-shaped, opposite leaflets. Tendrils, common to the pea family, securely fasten to other plants and form sprawling mats.
Crownvetch (Coronilla varia) is also a member of the pea family but is not a true vetch. It is a bushy, low growing vine with 5 to 20 pink, pea-like flowers clustered at the end of extended stalks. It spreads from rhizomes and forms a dense cover. Erosion control was the intended goal of its planting in the 1950s, but crownvetch has since become a problem, invading fields and pastures.
Many showy, yellow flowers brighten the roadside too. One of them is bird's foot trefoil (Lotus corniculatus), growing to heights of 1 to 2 feet and named because its pea-like flowers grow at right angles to the flower stalk, resembling a bird's foot.
These are some of the many introduced plants splashing color along roadway corridors at this time of year. Though many people think these plants are native, most are European transplants introduced in the 1600s or 1700s for aesthetic, medicinal or herbal purposes.
As opportunists, these plants are the first to colonize disturbed areas, like roadsides. Also found in vacant lots and waste areas, they thrive in full sun, slightly moist to dry conditions and gravelly, sandy soils.
Unlike invasive species, these non-natives often do not expand from the roadsides and are not as problematic in the Adirondacks. Nevertheless, intentionally spreading them is not recommended. In other parts of the state and country, they invade fields, meadows and disturbed open areas.
A greater thrill is viewing the native plant assemblage. Keep eyes open for milkweed's cluster of pinkish white flowers (its leaves are an important food source for larval monarch butterflies), the airy pinkish-purple spike of fireweed (not to be confused with the invasive purple loosestrife) and various golden-yellow sprays of goldenrods.
Although tempting, never transplant roadside plants to gardens. Avoid picking roadside flowers too, and be mindful if buying bouquets at roadside stands that they do not include invasive plants, which can be spread if carelessly discarded. Also, remember to read labels of wildflower seed packets, which may contain these and other weed-seeds.

TAMPA, Fla. – Here's a few quick hits of news from a morning spent on the sidewalk outside the Yankees' minor-league complex:
1. Derek Jeter said he's received the "green light" for full activity on his surgically-repaired left ankle. He celebrated by running on a treadmill. This was his first time running since the procedure on Oct. 20.
"We're just progressing, like I told you," Jeter said. "Right where I need to be. So I've gotten the OK to do everything now."
2. Curtis Granderson stopped by the facility for the first time. He will be a free agent after this season, an experience he says will be interesting. He's never been a free agent before. It is unclear how the Yankees view him going forward, as Granderson figures to command a sizable deal on the open market next winter.
But Granderson did say he was open to the idea of working out an extension with the Yankees, even if he was not aware of any ongoing discussions. Of course, he explained, "I'd be a fool not to" have interest in a long-term deal.
"I'm so excited for about this fourth season" as a Yankee, he said. "And hopefully this isn't the last one."
3. Granderson also said he has no issue with potentially moving to left field. Brian Cashman and Joe Girardi have mentioned the possibility of using Brett Gardner as the starting center fielder. He also said he's had this topic broached to him by the organization in years past.
"If they're open to it, I'm open to it, too," Granderson said. "I feel like I can float around there, whatever we need to be."

The run on Alabama players in the 2012 NFL draft has started.
The Cleveland Browns traded up one spot and then used the No. 3 pick in the first round to select former Alabama running back Trent Richardson.
Four of his former Crimson Tide teammates are expected to be selected later in the first round tonight: safety Mark Barron, cornerback Dre Kirkpatrick and linebackers Dont'a Hightower and Courtney Upshaw.
The Minnesota Vikings had the No. 3 pick but traded it to the Browns and also acquired picks in the fourth, fifth and seventh rounds, the Nos. 118, 139 and 211 picks.
Richardson was picked after the Indianapolis Colts selected former Stanford quarterback Andrew Luck and the Washington Redskins picked former Baylor quarterback Robert Griffin III.
It's the highest a running back has been drafted since 2006, when USC's Reggie Bush was taken by the New Orleans Saints with the No. 2 pick.
Richardson finished third in the 2011 Heisman Trophy voting, behind Griffin and Luck, then elected to skip his senior season. He goes to a team that ranked 29th in total yards and 30th in scoring last season.
The 5-foot-11, 224-pound product of Escambia High School in Pensacola, Fla. - the same school that produced Pro Football Hall of Fame running back Emmitt Smith - finished his college career ranked fifth in Alabama history with 3,130 yards rushing (5.8 yards per carry) in three seasons. He rushed for 34 of his 41 career touchdowns.
On his way to winning the 2011 Doak Walker Award that goes annually to the nation's top running back, Richardson ran 283 times for a school-record 1,679 yards (5.9 yards per carry) and a school-record 21 touchdowns. He also caught three touchdown passes and tied Shaun Alexander's single-season school record of 24 touchdowns.Richardson had two signature runs in his career: a 52-yard touchdown run in the fourth game of his freshman year on which he broke five tackles and outraced an Arkansas defender into the end zone, and a 76-yard touchdown last October at Ole Miss on which he broken several tackles and froze a defender with a start-stop juke move.
As a freshman, Richardson ran 49 yards up the middle for a go-ahead touchdown in Alabama's 37-21 victory over Texas in the BCS Championship Game.
As a junior, he ran 34 yards late in the game for the only touchdown in the Tide's 21-0 victory over LSU in the BCS Championship Game.

FROM: SAM EFFINGER K9SD SUBJECT: ELECTRIC WINCH I am looking for an electric winch to use in raising and lowering antennas. While this seems simple it isn't. I can't find one that is commercially available which will do what I need. The parts are available from Granger to build one but I am hoping someone will have some experience with this sort of thing. Putting a motor on a hand winch isn't a simple job and I have been getting a real education regarding this. Note: while looking in the Grainger catalog I see Grainger part no. 1L570 which is a HDR-300 gear box with a 115vac motor...3000 in.lbs of torque.. Now this might solve a lot of rotation problems but you would have 115vac on the tower...look it up and tell me what u think..I may be wrong..

Yesterday, as noted in this blog post, YouTube (a Google property) formally launched a service that automatically transcribes audio track of videos and displays them as captions for those who choose the option from the "Closed Caption" menu. The service was actually introduced in November 2009 and, as demonstrated in the video below, it uses the same transcription and translation resources that are embedded in Google Voice.
As the the video's narrator admits, sometimes the transcriptions are not so accurate but, in certain cases, "they are still better than nothing." That, in a nutshell, captures the notion of "satisficing" which I discussed in this blog post. At this point in the technology's development, it's important to note when "good enough" is good enough.
Yet that hasn't stopped a significant number of industry luminaries from declaring the service a "#failure". For instance, the video embedded in this article by Janko Roettgers at GigoOm's jkOntheRunfrom showcases what he calls "auto-captioning gone wrong".
You can detect the pattern here. Google makes public a feature that has been percolating within the confines of its cloud for a number of years. It shows up as "beta" or a product of its "labs" or simply as a button that can be invoked in one of its highly-trafficked properties – like Gmail or Google Apps. Early reviews are a mixture of delight, shock, awe and ridicule. All feedback is encouraged and ultimately employed to refine and adapt the service for general consumption… or relegate it back to cloud-based oblivion.
I see auto-captioning, as well as translation and timing, as yet another "speechable moment," meaning that it is an instance where the resources employed for a new set of core services, like speech recognition for the purpose of transcription or translation, are deployed as part of a broader set of services. I coined the term while discussing enhancements to Vlingo's iPhone app in this post on Internet2Go.net.
Even though I don't subscribe to the belief that "all publicity is good publicity", I do believe that exposing the public to both the good and bad instances of transcription and translation is an important part of setting realistic expectations for the technology. That provides prospective users with the power to decide how they want to use (or "game") the service and determine whether it is "good enough" for them.

text: How do you fight an enemy that you can't even see with your own eyes? It's a scary thought for sure. Probably the worst enemies that humans face on this planet are viruses. Their sole purpose is to replicate and consume all of the resources available to them. In short, they destroy our own cells. In our history we've had plenty of events in which disease outbreaks have occurred with no immediate cure or vaccine. But what if today, with society being as global as it is, a virus outbreak occurred and it threatened the entire Earth's human population?

Police said 21-year-old Kevin Robert Schaeffer admitted killing Emily Silverstein, a 19-year-old sophomore from Roosevelt, in his off-campus apartment early on the morning of April 9. He pleaded not guilty today at his arraignment.
Adams County Common Pleas Judge Michael George tentatively set jury selection for Dec. 7 and gave prosecutors an additional 30 days to decide whether to seek the death penalty.
Schaeffer, who's from Oley, Pa., was a senior at the time of the killing and has been jailed without bail since.

Every morning I wake up to the sound of Avery yelling, "Mama!" from the other room. I'll rush in to see her standing up in her crib, eagerly waiting for me to get her out. I am as quiet as can be so that we don't wake up Harlan from her slumber.
Last week all of that changed when I noticed that rather than waking up to my name, I woke up to hear both of the girls talking to each other. It seems that somehow Avery has managed to wake up Harlan and Harlan sits up in her bed, turns towards Avery's crib and just starts talking to her.
Usually the conversations start with Harlan saying "Hello sweetheart! How did you sleep? Did you sleep good? Me too, sweetheart." Can you guess where she gets the "sweetheart" from? Avery usually responds with, "Hi!" (because that is one of the only words that she knows) followed by some other babble that I can't understand.
I watch them over the monitor just sit and talk to one another for minutes on end. I would've thought that after five minutes Harlan would get bored with the conversation and come into my room to tell me that they are both awake. But apparently she enjoys the conversation too much to end it.
As Avery is getting more talkative and more opinionated, she and Harlan are involved in a lot more conversations. On Saturday as I was fixing breakfast for the girls, I walked out into our living room to a heated discussion. Harlan was lining up all of her figurines on the floor and Avery thought that it would be fun to knock them all down. Harlan didn't like that Avery was interfering with her line and told her sister, "Avery, I am playing with my figurines, don't do that." Avery's response, "Ughhh."
Harlan tries to line them up again only to have Avery knock them right back down. Again Harlan says, "Avery please don't knock down my figurines, I am trying to line them up." Avery's reaction, "No, no, no, no." I watched as they went back and forth in an intense conversation over the figurines. The greatest part was that Avery would always find something to respond with when Harlan said something to her.
Eventually I grabbed Avery another toy to focus her attention on so that Harlan could have her time with her figurines. But not before taking a photo of just how intense and in-depth their conversation got. They were both so engaged with one another and so in-sync.
It reminds me of how my sister and I are when we're together. This is yet another thing that I love to watch as they grow together and their bond strengthens.

Seven months ago, in my last blog, I wrote a scathing report following the hasty passage of Governor Corzine's new school funding law by the NJ Legislature. Half a year later it is possible to review and better understand the reults of this action and to project its effects on education and NJ's taxing system to support public schools.
An essential truth that most New Jersey citizens are unaware of is that the only reason it was necessary to pass new funding legislation was the complete failure of the Governor and Legislators to fund the existing education funding law. A study by Dr. Ernest Reock, Professor Emeritus at Rutgers University, shows that our state leaders stopped funding the Comprehensive Education and Financing Act of 1996 (CEIFA) beginning in the 2002-2003 school year. The "funding freeze" lasted six years. The consequence was a massive under-funding of all non-Abbott districts, especially of poor non-Abbott districts, throughout the state. The only reason the Abbott districts did not share this fate was because they were protected by a series of Supreme Court decisions going back well over a decade.
Dr. Recok concluded "it is this failure on the state's part, not the Abbottv. Burke remedies for children in Abbott districts, that has created shortfalls of funding in the non-Abbott districts". Our governors and legislators made a deliberate choice not to increase funding for the greatest proportion of our school districts even as costs rose in all of them. The massive increase in student enrollment that began in 1990 continued to require greatly increased revenue in districts statewide. State leaders chose to pretend that the Abbott districts were the cause of the state's inability to pay. The result - taxpayers are required to pay greatly increased liocal property taxes in order to make up for the huge deficit in state payments.
If New Jerseyans believe that the new school funding formula will provide a panacea for high school property taxes, they are in for a rude awakening. Th new school funding law provides a $530 million increase in state aid over the 2007-2008 year. If the previous CEIFA law were to continue in effect, and be funded as it provisions originally required, school districts would receive an additional $1 billion in school aid.
How did the new school funding law end up providing less school aid than the existing, if ignored formula? The answer is simple. It was deliberately designed to provide less money. Governor Corzine and his administration decided that spending for education was too high and our legislators went along. The new formula calls for providing an "adequate" education. Note that the goal of our leaders was not to seek outstanding, or even high quality education, just adequate. Adequate has a variety of meanings ranging from suitable, sufficient and equal to need to passable, tolerable or enough. Our leaders chose to aim for the lowest common denominator. They designed a formula that will provide $10,300 as the average "adequate" amount for educating a child. This figure was far below the existing average spending level. Taken by grade level, the average new spending figures are: Elementary - $9,649; Middle - $10,035; High School - $11,289. The difference between these numbers and actual average spending now in effect are huge and they make it clear that significant reductions in teachers and services will be required to reduce school spending to these lower levels.
Public education leaders from across thestate spoke out strongly about the insufficiency of the state's methodology and spending figures. Jonathan A. Marshall, of Value New Jersey, has studied the state's effort to develop the new funding formula. Marshall found that the 2006 costing-out-study is based on incomplete and low-quality data. Its study results are "mathematically self-contradictory". Marshall also reports "the ad hoc adjustments revealed in the proposed formula have compounded these flaws and made the results even less credible."
New Jersey citizens have reason for further concerns. In the past, school district leaders could go to local voters to request approval for increases in their budgets to provide the quality of education they believe is necessary, or to meet unforreseen extraordinary cost increases, Local voters, not the state, made the decision whether to increase their local spending and property tax if they concurred with the district's leaders. Now, new stringent tax caps passed in 2006 remain in place with an inadequate set of exceptions. The result, quality of education is extremely likely to be the victom of reduced funds for education programs.
The new "Executive Superintendents" for each county,appointed by the Governor, also have been given broad powers to void decisions of Superintendents, School Boards and citizen voters and to reduce school budgets.
And after the numerous ad hoc changes in the school formula designed to get it passed are phased out, our schools will find themselves with fewer dollars to pay for one of society's most important responsibilities -- preparing the members of the next generation to succeed and protect our democratic form of government.
While the Abbott districts will be most seriously harmed, once the single year features added to the funding formula to get it through the Legislature are gone virtually all other school districts will begin to see their educational programs negatively impacted.
In my next blog I will discuss the effect on the Abbott districts, the challenge to the constitutionality of the new school funding formula, and the school facilities issue.

The Warren County Jail will soon be taking advantage of the power of volume buying.
The Warren County Prison Board approved a motion Tuesday to sign on Trinity Services Group of Middletown as its food purchasing agent.
The company has claimed that it can save the county money on food. According to County Commissioner Stephen Vanco, the county would save "50 cents on the dollar" on some meats.
To provide this service, Trinity charges a $200 per week fee.
Most board members were confident the advertised cost savings would more than overcome the fee.
"Let's go with the program... if they can't save us money, we walk away," Commissioner John Eggleston said.
"See if there's any savings," Commissioner John Bortz said. "You hear a story, you go in with a degree of faith and see..."
Vanco said the company offers similar services in Crawford County and the commissioners there are pleased with the results.
Sheriff Ken Klakamp voted against the measure because he had not seen the documentation.
Bortz provided Klakamp with the documents after the meeting.
The average cost of food for a jail meal is $1.35.
With a population of about 130, at three meals a day, that's $526.50 a day, or $3,685.50 a week, in food for jail inmates.
"If we save 10 cents a meal, it doesn't take long to make up that $200," Vanco said. "I can't believe we wouldn't save some money."
A 10-cent per meal savings would yield a savings of $273 per week.
Vanco said Trinity already works with companies that provide the jail's current food supply. "We'd still be giving local businesses business," he said.
According to the proposal from Trinity, "The plan is designed to leave the operation of your food service in the capable hands of your food service staff."
The plan involves no changes to the jail's staff.
Trinity offers a plan in which the company handles food preparation as well as purchasing.

The hardware keeps piling up for Adele Atkins, the celebrated British pop singer whose "21" was the bestselling album of both 2011 and 2012. Adele cleaned up at the Grammy Awards last February – and now she's got a Golden Globe. "Skyfall," her theme song from the Bond flick of the same name, took the award for best original song.
The dramatic, string-heavy ballad, which echoed Bond motifs introduced decades ago by composer John Barry, was written by Atkins and her usual collaborator and producer Paul Epworth.
To take the prize, Adele had to face down some stiff competition. Taylor Swift, the only contemporary singing star who can match Adele's popularity, was also nominated in the category. "Safe and Sound," a song Swift wrote and performed with the adventurous country duo the Civil Wars, was the most prominent song on the soundtrack to "The Hunger Games." "Safe" wasn't a blockbuster hit, but it was the first indication that Swift was willing to try new things – and its atmospheric arrangement foreshadowed the adventurous tracks on "Red," her smash album. "Skyfall" wasn't a gigantic seller in the United States either, but it ate European radio alive: The Adele hit topped charts in most of the EU.
"For You," a guitar-heavy country-pop ballad by Keith Urban from war movie "Act of Valor," Jon Bon Jovi's "Not Running Anymore" from the shoot-'em-up "Stand Up Guys," and "Suddenly" from "Les Miserables" were also nominated for Best Original Song.
"Skyfall" becomes the first James Bond movie song to take the prize. "For Your Eyes Only," which was sung by Sheena Easton, Duran Duran's jaunty "A View to a Kill," Carly Simon's "Nobody Does it Better" Madonna's not-so-hot "Die Another Day" and Sheryl Crow's "Tomorrow Never Dies" were all nominated, but none claimed the award. Incredibly, neither "Goldfinger" nor "Live and Let Die" nor "Diamonds Are Forever" were even given nominations, which calls for an intervention by Kanye West. Better late than never, I suppose, Golden Globes.
"Skyfall" has also been nominated for the Academy Award for best original song.

- Pack my drop bags more effectively. I wasn't sure which light was in which bag, for example. I am usually more organized than this.
- Get my feet in good condition. I did try to get rid of some of the calluses off my feet, but I am going to go into a big foot pampering extravaganza for the next two months and get them in good shape.
- Actually formulate a plan to execute for Mohican. Carry a card with me with the cutoffs. I did not need this for Umstead, since I knew the final cutoff, and I knew I needed to run the first 50 in under 13 hours. But I am going to go back and look at my old splits and runners-like-me from Mohican and make an actual plan.
- Positive attitude trumps all. Around mile 52 or so, I said to myself "wow I'm getting tired" and then I immediately replied to myself "yeah, you idiot, you just ran 50 miles you aren't going to be all that fresh for the whole race." I really had a good attitude for about the whole race,didn't let things like blisters or being hot bother me.

Police responded to Beecher High and Dailey Elementary schools after receiving an alarm notification around 6:30 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 4, according to Mt. Morris Township police officer David Ramirez.
Ramirez said vandals set off fire extinguishers, sprayed graffiti inside and knocked over books and computers inside the building.
Beecher Schools Superintendent Josha Talison said a dollar cost associated with the damage has not been estimated but he said a majority of the cost will be for extra staff needed for the cleanup.
Ramirez said the damage was extensive but could be cleaned up.
The damage was done roughly two weeks before the classes were slated to begin Aug. 20. Beecher officials announced the district would be changing to year-round classes this upcoming school year.
Talison said the incident should not effect the start of classes.
Police are looking into surveillance video for possible suspects. Anyone with information is asked to contact Mt. Morris Township police at 810-785-1311.
