Fred Flare: Turntable Watch by Tokidoki
How appropriate that Tokidoki should design a watch . . . the name itself means "sometimes" in Japanese. And, as with everything Tokidoki, even the packaging is a design statement. Only a tiny portion of the watch face actually reveals the time. The rest is a D.J. motion machine, as the turntable rotates in beat with the passing seconds. If only you could add tunes too !
Nearly as much toy as watch, the material and minimalism of this watch make it a natural for summer days of playing, browsing and carousing.Tags: watches, jewelry, minimalism, silicone, black, one size fits all, Wink, casual watches, wink nycAdded 6 Years Ago from Winknyc
This watch fits right into the marvelous mash-up of prints coming our way this spring in the form of maxi dresses, blouses, skirts, pants and shorts. It is early 21st century art in the form of a watch.Tags: watches, plastic, limited edition, geometric shapes, kidrobot, water resistant, unisex watches, Spring accessories, VannenAdded 6 Years Ago from Kidrobot

Troy charter school holds what could be final 'moving up' ceremony
An emotional ceremony at a Troy charter school Friday morning. The Ark Community Charter School held what could be its final annual student achievement "Moving Up" ceremony.
The school in North Central Troy will close unless a final appeal overturns the move next week.
The state has said the school is not meeting standards. If the school closes, more than 200 students and about 30 employees will be out. Ark opened in 2001.
Ten kids were honored Friday for having perfect attendance for the entire school year. Here are some photos from the ceremony:

We have an ultrasound on the 5th of February. Dd is 18 months old. Do you think she is too young to go with us? or that we would be wrong to find her a baby sitter? I can't really gage how she will be because she is a toddler so its unpredictable. It is our first ultrasound so if something is wrong I don't know if I would want her there, but I know if she was she would make me feel better if she saw I was sad. I will be 11 almost 12 weeks.
It is my DH's first pregnancy he is going through so I don't know if we should just leave her at home this time so for an hour dh (dear husband) and I can just watch the new baby on the screen. Or if dd (dear daughter) should come with us.
I feel bad with leaving her out, but I feel as if she may still be too young and she loves throwing tantrums especially in the afternoon when our appointment is.
Opinions please?

What a strange feat Edit
Using Dex instead of Int or something for spells is nice (very nice actually, though still rogue). But what a specific feat. Why specifically call out breastplate? Any armor gives some amount of arcane spell failure normally. In addition, the ASF fluff has nothing to do with it. "Do you have spells affected by ASF (yes) then you now cast with your Dex" which... doesn't do a thing about the ASF, it just changes your casting stat.
Thus, lol wut? -- Eiji Hyrule 02:32, May 6, 2010 (UTC)
- Of course it doesn't do a thing about the Arcane Spell Failure; Tumble has an armor check penalty in breastplate. The point of specifically calling out breastplate was to remind people that spellcasting isn't just about precise hand movements. --Foxwarrior 02:38, May 6, 2010 (UTC)
- Still a clunky way to say it. Why not just specify spells effected by ASF, or arcane spells (same thing, divine never has it, arcane nearly almost always does). -- Eiji Hyrule 02:40, May 6, 2010 (UTC)
- All I can say is "Dance, Magic, Dance."Karuma 15:18, September 22, 2010 (UTC)
- One issue with the ASF thing: it could be interpreted to mean that when the caster *isn't* affected by ASF, they no longer benefit from the feat (since you can't use a non-bonus feat for which you don't meet the prerequisites). Additionally, if a Warmage 7 with this and the Battle Caster feat takes their 8th level in Warmage, they unconditionally lose access to this feat's ability, since they no longer have ASF from armor.
- Is it intentional that people can only magic dance when they're wearing armor with an actual ASF penalty? If not, you should just call them "arcane spells" and leave it at that. --Quantumboost 16:23, September 22, 2010 (UTC)
- I suppose it's possible to dance in full plate, if you've got enough practice. --Foxwarrior 19:54, September 22, 2010 (UTC)
- Yes, and with the most recent change, it's now also possible to dance-cast while *not* in full plate. ;P --Quantumboost 21:51, September 22, 2010 (UTC)

Pat and I tend to take short, refreshing trips during the summer rather than get out of town for the entire hot weather season. In July we drove to Taos, N.M., to spend a few days at an altitude of 7,000 feet in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains.
We traveled east on I-10 to Deming, N.M., then northeast on New Mexico 26 to I-25 at Hatch, the chile capital of the world, north through Socorro and Albuquerque to Santa Fe, and finally northeast on state roads to Taos — about 580 miles in nine hours. Not bad.
From Hatch north, we traveled along the magnificent Rio Grande, which starts in the southern Colorado mountains, rambles right through the middle of New Mexico, then proceeds along the southern border of Texas with Mexico to the Gulf of Mexico.
For several hundred miles between Hatch and Santa Fe we could see irrigated fields and riparian belts in the Rio Grande's huge watershed — truly an amazing influence on the countryside.
North of Taos in the high desert, the Rio Grande cuts through deep gorges, spanned by spectacular bridges, now protected in places such as the Rio Grande del Norte National Monument.
Taos is a small, pleasant, tourist-friendly town of about 6,000 people, well known as an arts colony and a winter skiing destination. It is especially known for the Taos Pueblo, built between A.D. 1000 and 1450, the oldest continuously inhabited community in the United States. Taos was established as a Spanish town around 1615, suffered native revolts from 1640 to 1696, and was not incorporated as an American town until 1934.
Taos is laid out along its one principal north-south street, Paseo del Pueblo, with the historical plaza at its center. The Taos Pueblo borders the town on its north side, with limited business development south of the plaza. Heavy traffic on Taos' main drag can be frustrating.
Thankfully, our timeshare was just north of the plaza and within easy walking distance of many museums, galleries and shopping areas.
We found, though, that the plaza shops have declined in quality in recent years. In particular, we were disappointed that a couple of our favorite Native American stores had closed and apparently moved to Santa Fe, leaving behind curio shops. Happily, the studio of well-known Navajo artists R.C. Gorman, is still in place.
In one small, somewhat disorganized shop we saw some dusty pottery on a back-wall shelf and couldn't believe what we were looking at — three large pots by Margaret Tafoya, famed matriarch of Santa Clara Pueblo potters. There were no price tags on the pots, but the proprietor later told us they were worth about $50,000 apiece. Wow!
The restaurants in Taos were wonderful —– from steaks to hamburgers, with plenty of New Mexico-style meals with green and red chiles. Pat was in heaven!
We drove the 84-mile "Enchanted Circle" loop through the Sangre de Cristo Mountains north of Taos, relishing the breathtaking views and quaint villages. We stopped to visit the awe-inspiring Vietnam Veterans Memorial, the only state park dedicated exclusively to veterans of the Vietnam War.
On another outing we visited the Rio Grande Gorge Bridge (for automobiles), completed in 1965 and spanning 1,280 feet and 650 feet above the Rio Grande.
And because of our interest in photography, we visited the photogenic San Francisco de Asis Mission Church, built between 1771 and 1815, and a frequent subject of renowned photographer Ansel Adams.
After four full days in Taos, where the weather was great — with sun, breezes and occasional light showers — we returned to Tucson, arriving in the mid-afternoon of another 100-degree day.

Lancer Lounge seized by State of Colorado for back taxes
Yesterday, when the news broke that the Lancer Lounge would be closing at 2 p.m. today, owner Rebecca Comda, who's had the classic dive since 1999, said that it was because the landlord had evicted her after she missed a month of rent.
But judging from the sign that appeared on the door this afternoon, that's not all she missed. See also: - Slide Show: Lancer Lounge's last night - Lancer Lounge gets evicted and will close tomorrow at 2 p.m.
The door now has several notices from the State of Colorado, one emblazoned with the word "Seized." Apparently the Lancer Lounge had failed to pay assorted state taxes, and the Department of Revenue is now ordering a public sale to come up with the $9,542 that the state is owed.
Although the business has been seized, the door was still open earlier this afternoon, and a few folks were drinking at the bar. But while last night a few regulars seemed hopeful that Corda would be able to work things out with the landlord, today it looks like she has other obstacles to overcome.

FDA Extends Target Date for Review of Eye Drug
TARRYTOWN, N.Y. (AP) - Regeneron Pharmaceuticals Inc. said Tuesday that the Food and Drug Administration has pushed back its target date for completing its review of the company's experimental eye drug, Eylea, by three months.
The agency now will look to complete its review of the drug by Nov. 18.
Regeneron shares tumbled more than 7 percent in aftermarket trading.
The FDA needs more time to review recent responses as part of Regeneron's bid to obtain a license for the drug as a treatment for "wet" age-related macular degeneration, a common cause of blindness.
If Eylea is approved, it would be the first drug to compete with Roche's Lucentis.
In June, Bayer filed for approval of Eylea as a treatment for wet age-related macular degeneration in Europe and Japan.
Bayer HealthCare will market Eylea outside the United States, where the companies will share equally the profits from any future sales of EYLEA.
Shares of Regeneron fell $4.27 to $53.15 in aftermarket trading. The shares slipped 75 cents to $57.42 during the regular session.

North Charleston SC (SPX) Dec 08, 2011
South Carolina Electric and Gas and Boeing have officially marked the completion of one of the largest single rooftop solar installations in the United States and the largest in the Southeast, by production capacity.
The dedication event signaled the start of renewable energy being generated by the 2.6-megawatt D.C. rooftop photovoltaic system, which is made up of more than 18,000 thin-film photovoltaic solar laminates that cover 10 acres on the roof of the 14-acre Boeing South Carolina 787 Final Assembly building.
"This project is a classic example of working with our customers to supply their energy needs, but with a new twist," said SCANA Chairman and CEO Kevin Marsh.
"SCE and G for the first time is supplying a facility with 100 percent green power. I commend Boeing for their commitment to sustainability and for the opportunity they presented us to supply this site with renewable power."
The 2.6 megawatts of electrical power generated for the site is enough to power approximately 250 homes. SCE and G began installation of the photovoltaic panels May 16, the same day Boeing teammates began moving into the building. Substantial completion was met Oct. 28.
Under the arrangement with Boeing, SCE and G will own and maintain the solar generation system and will supplement the solar-generated energy with power from its system resources, coupled with green attributes from its North Charleston biomass generator, to meet all of Boeing's energy requirements.
The solar installation on the roof will provide clean, renewable power for the Boeing site, and all of that power will stay within the Boeing site.
"SCE and G is proud of its partnership with Boeing to provide the technology and the energy for the company's only location in the world capable of assembling commercial aircraft with 100 percent renewable energy," said Jim Landreth, SCE and G vice president of fossil/hydro.

Dear Douglas
Thank you for your message and for presenting the indentured contract to the
The contract does show a keenness for Elizabeth Wydville to ally her family
with the family of William Hastings. However, can we be sure that it was
their Plantagenet blood that was important to her? She was about to marry
the king. Surely if she had waited, she could have arranged far more
brilliant matches for her son, as is what eventually happened -Thomas was
eventually created Marquis of Dorset and married Anne da. of Henry Holland,
Duke of Exeter which made his issue awash with Plantagenet blood, and nephew
by marriage of Edward IV. Look what she did for her sisters. Margaret became
Countess of Arundel, Anne became Countess of Kent, Catherine, Duchess of
Buckingham etc.
Frankly, I am puzzled by the motivation behind this contract UNLESS it was
to guarantee unswerving support from William Hastings, as her husband's best
friend, by a tie of kinship. She knew the forthcoming marriage would be
unpopular and needed all the support she could get. In that case, the issue
of Plantagenet blood would have been a small part of the equation.
If this is the case, how sure are we that this implies Alice Camoys was
daughter of Elizabeth Mortimer? Is the marriage contract between Eliz
Wydville and William Hastings sufficient evidence for it? Frankly I would
like to see something a little more direct and secure.

Holley Venturis Batman!
Posted By: Martin Thoene <email@example.com> In Response To: I'm not so sure myself now ! (Steve Burton)

In Response To: I'm not so sure myself now ! (Steve Burton)
Started reading this venturi chain and figured I would expound the theories of carburettors, but Steve beat me to it. As far as I'm aware, through what I've read, and through what makes common sense (to me anyway!), the powerheads that allow air to be mixed within the impeller chamber are inherantly less efficient when used in this mode. This is because (car theory again)just as in a car brake system air is a bad thing, because it is not as easily compressed as a liquid (brake fluid). The impeller rotates at high speed and compresses molecules of liquid (water) against one another, and forces them out of the exit hole in the chamber. When air is introduced via the vent tube, the impeller now has an air/water mixture to compress, rather than the denser, pure water before. Therefore,the impeller cannot so efficiently force the water out of the chamber, plus each area between lobes now contains less water, so per revolution, less water is being moved.
As Steve said a venturi works on the principle of forcing the water through a restriction, which speeds it up AND as a by-product reduces it's pressure, thus drawing air into the reduced bore via a vent pipe. The percentage reduction in bore diameter would obviously affect the efficiency of this action, and too small a bore would also cause a restriction to water exit. Hopefully, any manufacturers of such devices will have reached a good design compromise between these two requirements.
How these two air injection methods compare as regards actual water pumped per/minuite, using the same powerhead, I don't know, but I would think that a well designed venturi would be more efficient because it's not having a direct effect on the pump impeller action.
Ain't technology fun?

Steven Spielberg-directed 'The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn' will unspool in U.S. just before Christmas 2011.
"The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn" has finally got its release date. In their recent announcement concerning this family adventure movie, Paramount Pictures and Sony Pictures revealed that the first film of the "Tintin" planned trilogy will be arriving in U.S. theaters on December 23, 2011.
While being set to hit the U.S. market just days before Christmas, the movie will see international release around a month earlier. According to Variety, the international rollout will begin weeks earlier, starting from late October 2011. Sony will handle the continental Europe, Latin America and India, and Paramount are to distribute it in Asia, Australia, the United Kingdom and all other English-speaking territories.
On the reason of the early international release, Variety suggested that the decision was made because the studios believe the property shows stronger potential overseas than domestically. Slash Film also added that the property is a lot more popular overseas and that "the reception from European audiences and critics will be a nice transition for American audiences who aren't as familiar with the character."
"The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn" is a 3-D motion-capture feature inspired by the renowned character created by Herge. It stars Jamie Bell as the globetrotting young reporter named Tintin. In the film, his character will face off against the nefarious Red Rackham (Daniel Craig). Other actors include Andy Serkis, Simon Pegg, Nick Frost, Gad Elmaleh, Toby Jones and Mackenzie Crook.
Steven Moffat, Edgar Wright and Joe Cornish wrote the screenplay with Steven Spielberg, Peter Jackson and Kathleen Kennedy producing. Spielberg also serves as this film's director. The movie began filming officially in January and has been wrapped up after 32 days back in March.

Jerusalem (AFP) Oct 09, 2012
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Tuesday called an early general election, presenting himself as the only option in the face of the Iranian nuclear threat, upheavals in the Middle East and the global economic crisis.
Announcing the move, Netanyahu said the public should go to the polls "as quickly as possible" saying Israel needed to pursue a "responsible security and economic policy" in the face of the multiple economic and security challenges facing it.
"My duty as prime minister is to put the national interest before everything, and so I've decided that for the good of Israel we must go to an election now as fast as possible," he said in a live broadcast on Israel's main television and radio stations.
"For the state of Israel, it is preferable to have a short election period of three months than a long election campaign which would last a whole year and hurt Israel's economy."
Elections for Israel's 19th parliament had been due to take place in October 2013 but Netanyahu moved to bring forward the date after failing to garner the support of coalition partners for an unpopular austerity budget which must be passed by the end of this year.
Although he did not give a date for the election, the Knesset is due to convene for its winter session on Monday and dissolve itself within days, at which point the vote date will be set.
Commentators believe the vote will take place in late January or mid February. By law, elections must take place on a Tuesday.
The move to bring forward elections was sparked by a coalition deadlock over the 2013 budget, which includes a fresh series of harsh austerity measures.
"I finished my talks with party leaders in the coalition and I reached the conclusion that at this time, it is not possible to pass a responsible budget," the prime minister said.
In his address, Netanyahu was quick to burnish his government's security and economic credentials, presenting himself as the only guarantee in the face of regional "upheavals" and the global economic crisis.
"In another few months, we will finish the fourth year of the most stable government in recent decades," he said.
"This stability helped us to achieve the two objectives we promised the citizens of Israel: first, we strengthened security in a period of dangerous upheaval all around us in the Middle East. And secondly, we strengthened the economy during another upheaval -- that of the ongoing global financial crisis," he said.
"We have to continue with a responsible security and economic policy because we are still facing a lot of challenges," he said, the first of which was "ensuring that Iran doesn't get a nuclear bomb."
Garnering international support for sanctions on Iran over its controversial nuclear programme, which Tehran insists has only peaceful aims, has been one of the central planks of Netanyahu's term in office, garnering him widespread support among the Israeli public.
Recent polls indicate Netanyahu, who heads the right-wing Likud party, is well placed to stay in power, although his ratings hit a low point earlier this year after he pushed through an initial series of austerity measures in order to plug a shortfall in the budget.
The measures, which came on the back of mass protests over the rising cost of living, sparked public anger and saw Netanyahu's popularity slump to its lowest level since he came to power in March 2009, with 60 percent saying they were unhappy with his performance.
Shortly before Netanyahu's announcement, Labour leader Shelly Yachimovich suggested the vote be held on January 29, saying it was high time the country went to the polls.
"The country has actually been in election mode for over six months which is unhealthy and should be stopped as soon as possible," she wrote on her Facebook page.
"The public must remember that Netanyahu is going to elections so that immediately afterwards, he can pass a harsh budget following election -- a budget that will harm the lives of all of us, except the very richest," she said, adding that the public must "choose one of two approaches" -- Netanyahu's or hers.
Labour, she said, was "ready" for an election.
There was a brief flurry of election fever earlier this year after Netanyahu said he would go to the polls in September.
But as parliament was voting on whether to dissolve itself, he backtracked and made an 11th-hour deal to bring the opposition Kadima party into his ruling coalition, giving him a majority of 94 seats.
That political marriage collapsed just 70 days later, with Kadima head Shaul Mofaz pulling out citing differences over plans to change the law on universal conscription.
Netanyahu's coalition of right-wing, nationalist and ultra-Orthodox parties currently holds 66 of the 120 seats in parliament.

Carolina cruising to Bermuda: Carnival Fantasy Cruise Review by Thoth
Overall Member Rating
Carolina cruising to Bermuda
Destination: Bermuda
Embarkation: Charleston
*** Activities are plentiful day and night. The day provides almost endless trivia and other games. The party goes into the early morning hours.
***The super slide in the Carnival Waterworks is one of my favorite slides anywhere...land or sea.
*** Some people live to eat, while I tend to eat to live, so of course I found the food more than meets my needs. Carnival's new main dining room menus are two sided....one is traditional favorites which are every night and the other half being nightly specials. Chocolate Melted Cake is available every night !!
*** Food always seems to More be available on the Lido deck.
*** The two big bang production shows provide energy and sizzle. The first one is "Nightclub Express" with a talking sofa which promotes music of varying genres. The Second show is "Ticket To Ride" and is understandably a Beatles tribute.
*** The staff, as always seem to truly enjoy their jobs and I enjoyed their camaraderie.
*** Both embarkation and debarkation were simple and relativly quick under somewhat odd restrictions due to being in a historic district.
While the Fantasy worked, Carnival's Bermuda itinerary just didn't function so well. The biggest problem with the Charleston to Bermuda itinerary was it allots one day in port, which is hardly worth the two days at sea effort. Unfortunately that one day in Bermuda was a Sunday when much of the island shuts down.
On Saturday evening, I enjoyed a Carnival excursion on a glass bottomed boat. For Sunday I did the ship sponsored island tour which was rush, rush, and rush ! While we visited the Gibbs lighthouse, there wasn't sufficient time to actually climb up. While we stopped for a photo at a beach, there was not enough time to enjoy that beach. We were allotted 15 minutes in Saint George, which ironically enough was sufficient since the town was largely closed down for Sunday. The tour stopped in Hamilton for about 30 minutes. There is a majestic cathedral there of which I took some photos, and then got back on the van.
If one wishes to cruise to Bermuda I highly recommend at least 2 days in port, preferably *not* on a Sunday. Hamilton seems to be a better of call than the Dockyards where we docked. While the dockyards are picturesque; they appear to still be developmental stage. It would be advisable for Carnival to make Charleston-Bermuda into a 7 day cruise ( not 6) where one gets two full days in port.
Pre-cruise I spent an extra day in Charleston where I stayed on Meeting Street and walked to historic sites.
I can highly recommend that future cruisers absorb this great historical city as part of their vacation. Between the ghost tours and the authentic Low-Country cuisine, I found Charleston to much more fulfilling that Bermuda.
In summary, I can highly recommend the Carnival Fantasy and Charleston, while we needed more time in Bermuda. Less

I have to write sentences with subjunctive verbs in them, and I'm supposed to remember WEIRDO to help me remember the uses of the subjunctive.
I understand Will/Wish and Emotion and Impersonal expressions and Requests and Doubt/Denial, but I don't understand the last one.
What does Ojalá mean, and how can I use it?
Ojala means hope.
Please check back later as I'm sure SraJMcGin will had more information.
How is it different from esperar?
Thank you for using the Jiskha Homework Help Forum. I've never heard the WEIRDO but it's "catchy!" I'll explain it to you as I always explain it!
Let's begin with ¡Ojalá! This came from the Arabic "Oh, Allah...grant that I be rich. Oh, Allah...grant that I be famous, etc." The Spaniards picked up on "Oh, Allah" and it becah "Ojalá." Say it outloud and I'm sure you'll understand.
How is it different from "esperar?" The expression "Ojalá" stand alone and is the one time in Spanish when the Subjunctive is not introduced by "que." You will hear/say Ojalá que no llueva. (I hope it doesn't rain.) OR Ojalá no llueva. They are the same as "Espero que no llueva." However, "esperar" is a conjugated verb and must have a personal ending on it = o, as, a, amos, an = depending upon WHO is wishing.
Now to the Subjunctive. I used to draw on the board a locamotive + que + caboose. I can not draw here but that represents SUBJUNCTIVE + (clause relater) QUE + SUBJUNCTIVE. It is the MAIN VERB which determines whether you have the subjunctive or not. You need to classify it as: 1. will, wish, imposition of will (1 person wants another to do something but that doesn't make it FACT) or 2. emotion or 3. doubt, disbelief, denial or 4. judgment (many impersonal expressions) or opinion. The "que" represents a "trailer hitch" and the caboose is where you have the Subjunctive. (riding along for the ride) In other words, the Main Verb is in the Independent Clause (can stand alone) but the Subjunctive is in the DEPENDENT Clause. (it is dependent upon the main verb as to whether it exists or not)
In ONE word the INDICATIVE states FACT while the SUBJUNCTIVE states FICTION/MAYBE/ CONTRARY-TO-FACT. Imagine a crystal ball if you will. If you can see that it DOES happen (Present tense), WILL happen (Future), DID happen/was h appening (Past, either Preterit or Imperfect), HAS happened (Perfect Tense), etc. it is NOT Subjunctive. If, however, the crystal ball is cloudy and you can NOT see what happens, happened, etc. for certain, it is Subjunctive!
When you say you don't understand the "last one" I don't know to what you are referring. Please clarify.
Just give it time, keep asking yourself "fact or fiction" and try some examples. If you'd like a "list" of verbs, impersonal expressions, using the Subjunctive, just ask!

Moscow (RIA Novosti) Mar 09, 2014
The head of Russia's space agency Roscosmos said Tuesday that developing technologies for robotic exploration of the moon and Mars is a priority.
Oleg Ostapenko said in an interview with state newspaper Rossiiskaya Gazeta that the agency would boost its unmanned space probe efforts ahead of three missions to the moon.
The first mission, the long-delayed Luna-25, is slated to launch in 2016 and land at the moon's south pole.
The next two missions will include an orbiter to monitor the moon in 2018 and a polar lander with a drill to search for water ice in 2019.
Subsequent missions are planned to deploy a robotic base on the moon and bring lunar soil back to Earth for analysis.
Ostapenko was appointed head of Roscosmos in October amid a shakeup of the country's space industry following a string of failures of launch vehicles and spacecraft.
Fobos-Grunt, the country's most recent interplanetary probe, was intended to return soil from the Martian moon Phobos to Earth but failed shortly after launch in 2011.

Anderson County Schools was one of five Kentucky districts to be designated as a member of the College Board's second annual AP District Honor Roll for significant gains in Advanced Placement access and student performance.
The AP District Honor Roll nationally recognizes and acknowledges districts' successes and efforts to expand AP access, performance and commitment to increasing student achievement.
Only 367 districts were selected nationwide this year. Inclusion on the second annual AP District Honor Roll is based on the following criteria:
The fired ex-social worker charged in tampering with public records in cases involving alleged sexual abuse of children is scheduled to appear Tuesday, Nov. 22 in Anderson County Circuit Court for a disposition hearing.
The hearing is scheduled for 9 a.m.
Margaret "Geri" Murphy pleaded not guilty in September to nine felony charges based on a number of child custody cases she was supposed to investigate between 2006 and 2010.
The man charged with murdering a Clay Burgin Road woman in January is scheduled to appear next Tuesday morning in Anderson Circuit Court.
Terrance Cram, 49, allegedly murdered Tena McNeely, 49, on Jan. 3 at her residence on Clay Burgin Road, about 14 miles west of Lawrenceburg.
Cram disappeared, leaving a trail of receipts from credit cards he allegedly stole from McNeely following her murder.
He was captured several months later in Arizona.
He is also charged with tampering with physical evidence and fraudulent misuse of a credit card.
A Citation Lane man was indicted Nov. 8 by the Anderson County Grand Jury on multiple drug trafficking and possession charges, including one involving a minor.
Jeffrey S. Perkins, 42, of 4129 Citation Lane, faces several felony and misdemeanor charges for possession and trafficking of Oxycodone, Phenergan and Trazadone in separate incidents dating back to March, according to the indictment.
An Alton Station family is safe following a fire early Monday morning that caused significant damage to their home.
But it was close.
Anderson County Fire Chief Mike Barnes said only fast action by a woman inside the home likely saved her child.
"For whatever reason, the mother woke up, smelled smoke and went in to check on the boy, who is 3 to 4 years old," Barnes said.
Well, November is already half over and Thanksgiving is just around the corner.
So, I'd like to take this time to say "Thank you!" I don't think there's a week that goes by that I don't hear nice things from you. It really means a lot to hear your comments and have feedback on my columns. Thanks to you, I always learn something and for that I am very grateful.
I saw this on a billboard in Cincinnati a couple of years ago. At first glance I was offended, but the more I thought about it the more I realized what the ad was saying.
The ad said people have grown tired of churches which are lifeless in nature, ran by the pastor, an elder or some prominent family or individual rather than relying on God and his word to direct the church.
Once, there was a grand experiment.
Psychologists ushered a person into a little room with a one-way mirror and a simple switchboard.
Levers indicated electric shock levels from low to debilitating.
The man in the white lab coat offered basic instructions: read questions to the man or woman you can't see behind the mirror.
For each wrong answer, buzz them with an electric shock.
The more wrong answers, the more intense the current.
George Orwell's 1949 tome on political repression, "1984," told of Oceania, a fictional society ruled by Big Brother that bugged the phones of its citizens and practiced strict mind control.
Orwell would have loved the University of Kentucky, the publicly funded institution that recently banned the Kentucky Kernel, its independent campus newspaper, from covering its annual invitation-only media day.

|HST – A Failure to Communicate
Press Release
June 8, 2010
(Coast Salish Territory/Vancouver, Canada – June 8, 2010) Last week, the Chiefs Council of the Union of BC Indian Chiefs met to discuss different issues facing First Nations in BC. As a very urgent issue facing First Nations families and communities, the pending Harmonized Sales Tax was discussed.
Follow UBCIC on Twitter: www.twitter.com/UBCIC
The UBCIC is a NGO in Special Consultative Status with the Economic and Social Council of the United Nations.
ATTACHMENT: UBCIC Resolution 2010-21
Resolution no. 2010-21
RE: Support for Legal Challenge to Implementation of HST
WHEREAS Indigenous Peoples in their respective territories confirm and defend their Aboriginal Title, Rights, ownership and jurisdiction over the lands and resources;
WHEREAS the Union of BC Indian Chiefs is mandated to protect, defend and maintain Indigenous self-determination and Indigenous land rights;
WHEREAS as Indigenous Peoples exercising our sovereignty, First Nations in B.C. have the right to tax and B.C. infringed this right to tax implicit to sovereign governments by excluding First Nations from the unilateral decision to impose the Harmonized Sales Tax (HST);
WHEREAS the HST stands to greatly increase the poverty of First Nations living in B.C. Our collective poverty is of unique relevance to the imposition of HST, as it is the result of historic, institutionalized injustice and seizure of our land and ability to exercise our culture and governance;
WHEREAS by Resolution 2009-41, the UBCIC Chiefs in Assembly supported work regarding the Harmonized Sales Tax (HST) and related tax matters, including:
1. Directing the UBCIC Executive to raise concerns with the provincial and federal governments calling for meaningful consultation and accommodation around the implementation of HST and the Comprehensive Integrated Tax Co-ordination Agreement (CITCA);
2. Striking a representative Chiefs Committee that seeks resources and produces a report on HST and BC First Nations, and a paper analyzing other adverse tax policies affecting BC First Nations;
WHEREAS by Resolution 2009-51, the UBCIC Chiefs in Council nominated and appointed Chief Don Moses, Chief Keith Matthew, and Chief Mike LeBourdais to the HST Committee;
WHEREAS in September 2009, the HST Committee began efforts to engage the provincial and federal Ministries of Finance, and commissioned a report on HST and BC First Nations. The HST Committee made a presentation to the Senate Standing Committee on Finance during hearings on Bill C-62, An Act to Amend the Excise Tax, and has done several press releases speaking out against the imposition of HST;
WHEREAS the Union of BC Indian Chiefs continues to seek a meeting with the provincial and federal finance ministers to advocate for consultation and accommodation with BC First Nations around implementation of HST;
WHEREAS the Fight HST campaign in BC has been dedicated to repealing the HST tax throughout BC, and;
WHEREAS as part of the Fight HST campaign, Bill Vander Zalm launched a Citizen's Initiative petition against the HST on April 6, 2010, and has successfully met the threshold of collecting the signatures of 10 per cent of registered voters in each of the province's 85 ridings, and these signatures will be verified by Elections BC after July 5;
WHEREAS the Fight HST Campaign will ultimately consider a legal challenge to the HST if necessary, on the basis that the HST contravenes the Constitution Act 1867 and the Excise Tax Act;
WHEREAS an HST Panel, consisting of Chief Keith Matthew, Cliff Atleo, Bill Vander Zalm, Chris Delaney and Merle Alexander, presented to and answered questions at the Chiefs Council meeting of June 2010.
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Union of BC Indian Chiefs Council directs the HST Committee and UBCIC Executive to continue the HST work as set out in Resolution 2009-41;
THEREFORE BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Union of BC Indian Chiefs Council directs the Union of BC Indian Chiefs HST Committee and Union of BC Indian Chiefs Executive to work with the Fight HST Campaign and other like-minded organizations to continue publicizing impacts of the HST on First Nations in B.C.;
THEREFORE BE IT FINALLY RESOLVED that the Union of BC Indian Chiefs Council supports the Fight HST campaign in exploring legal options, including a constitutional challenge to the implementation of the HST.
Moved: Chief Wayne Christian, Splats'in First Nation
Seconded: Chief Fred Sampson, Siska Indian Band
Disposition: Carried

Saturday Night Live, with Steve Buscemi as host, mocked Miley Cyrus and last week's "stoner" story.
A giggling, Dorito-eating "Miley" (Vanessa Bayer) hosts her TV show, and this week Maya Rudolph made an appearance as Whitney Houston.
As Miley laughed, Houston showed off random vocal talents and talked drugs, telling Miley to stay "off of that crack rock." Billy Ray Cyrus (Jason Sudeikis) interrupts to say that Miley "was just using marijuana."
"What, that's it?" said Houston, shocked. "Weed's not a drug! ... I put weed in my cereal this morning! I smoke weed just to go to Target!"

After a junior campaign that saw him rack up 180 total tackles, five interceptions, and three defensive touchdowns, opposing offenses had a new strategy for dealing with Ridgeland safety Vonn Bell during the 2012 season — try and avoid him.
Teams rarely threw or ran in Bell's direction this past fall, hoping to neutralize the senior standout's production by reducing him to more of an on-field spectator.
And that's what makes Bell's 2012 numbers even more amazing.
Defying opposing teams' well-conceived game plans, Bell still went out and got credit for 142 tackles, including 89 head-knocking solo ones and five for loss. He added five pass break-ups, three interceptions, two forced fumbles, and a fumble recovery.
The 6-foot, 190-pounder is the most decorated player in Ridgeland history, and today, he adds to his star-studded resume as the Walker County Defensive Football Player of the Year.
Ridgeland head coach Mark Mariakis said just having Bell on the field made his entire defense better.
"Just the presence of a player like Vonn gives you an advantage," he explained. "No one really threw or ran his way this season, but that gave the other guys on the defense chances to make plays, which they did."
Bell helped led the Panthers to the best season in school history — a 13-2 campaign, another region title, and the school's first-ever state football championship game berth.
"It was an exciting year, and a big-time, enjoyable year for us to make it all the way to the state (finals)," Bell said. "But this year just wasn't about me. It was about our team and accomplishing the goals we set for ourselves."
Bell also played a little offense too, collecting 2,166 all-purpose yards and 23 touchdowns as he split his time at running back, wide receiver, and return specialist.
"He's the most productive player I've ever had in my 28 years of coaching," Mariakis added. "We've had dominant players on offense and dominant players on defense, but not one just dominant on both sides of the ball like Vonn. He's a game-changer no matter which side he lines up on, and teams have to gameplan for him."
Bell has done his part to cement Ridgeland as a recruiting hotbed for college coaches. A five-star prospect by Scout.com, Rivals.com, and 247Sports.com, and a four-star pick by ESPN.com, he is a consensus Top 50 prospect nationally, and a consensus pick as one of the nation's top five safeties.
The overall Player of the Year for Region 7-AAAA, he was also named first team All-State by the Associated Press and the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, the Class AAAA Defensive Player of the Year by the AJC, and he recently showcased his talents to rave reviews at the Under Armour All-American Game in Florida.
"It's every kid's dream to go out and be All-State and All-American, and I got to live that," Bell explained. "I was very honored to play in the All-American Game. It was great to meet all the players and coaches, and it was a really good experience. I'm very happy for the opportunity to show everyone that we can play some football down here in Rossville. This whole year's just been one big happy memory."
A yearlong competition for Bell's signature will finally come to an end next Wednesday when Bell is expected to to choose between Alabama, Ohio State, and Tennessee on National Signing Day, which will be televised by ESPNU.
"He's obviously one of the best players in the country, and he understands that, but he's also very humbled by all the attention," Mariakis added. "His success, and the success of the others in our program, has benefited everyone in our program and everyone in our school. It was a blessed season for all of us."
DL - Gannon Hampton (Ridgeland) - The All-State first team offensive lineman also starred on the defensive side of the ball with 88 tackles, 23 for loss, four sacks, four forced fumbles, and three fumble recoveries.
DL - Corey Jewell (Gordon Lee) - The senior pass-rushing specialist collected nine sacks to go with 43 solo tackles and 27 assists for the playoff-bound Trojans.
DL - Will Mefford (LaFayette) - The senior capped a solid prep career in Orange-and-Black, collecting 72 solo tackles and assisting on 58 more while a dozen of his tackles this fall went for a loss.
DL - Randall Smith (Gordon Lee) - The senior teamed up with Jewell to form a physical one-two punch off the end as he finished with 100 tackles, four sacks, and a fumble recovery.
LB - Bryce Bailey (Gordon Lee) - The Defensive Player of the Year in Region 6-A North and the All-State Honorable Mention pick racked up 188 tackles, including 125 solo, while adding three sacks, three forced fumbles, and four pass break-ups.
LB - Sam Lemons (LaFayette) - The junior quietly put together big numbers for the Ramblers in 2012 with 102 solo tackles, 55 assists, and five tackles for loss.
LB - Daniel Johnson (Ridgeland) - The senior and Wendy's National High School Heisman finalist more than proved his worth with 36 solo tackles, 51 assists, seven tackles for loss and a pair of sacks, while seeing spot duty along the offensive line.
LB - Trey Stubbs (Ridgeland) - The junior was all over the field, recording 41 solo tackles, 27 assists, 13 tackles for loss, three sacks, two fumble recoveries, an interception, and a pass break-up.
LB - DeAngelo Smith (Ridgeland) - The junior turned in another outstanding campaign for the state finalists, picking up 66 solo tackles, 65 assists, 14 tackles for loss, two fumble recoveries, one forced fumble, one pick, and one pass break-up.
LB - Zach Weathers (Ridgeland) - The sophomore added depth to an outstanding group of Panther linebackers with 47 solo tackles, 31 assists, 10 tackles for loss, six broken-up passes, two forced fumbles, a sack, and an interception.
DB - Zack Cobb (Gordon Lee) - A star on the offensive side of the ball, the junior was also a standout in the secondary, recording 52 tackles, a forced fumble, and two interceptions to go with seven pass break-ups.
DB - Cody Dallas (LaFayette) - The senior was named to the All-Region team for 7-AAAA as a defensive back, while doubling as a standout running back with over 800 yards on the ground.
DB - Dillon Peterman (Ridgeland) - The junior made the most of his chances in the defensive backfield in 2012, collecting 76 tackles, a forced fumble, and a fumble recovery, while picking off five passes and breaking up four more.
DB - Sharone Porter (Ridgeland) - The senior was johnny-on-the-spot with 75 tackles, five fumble recoveries, two forced fumbles, and one enormous blocked extra point in a 28-27 Class AAAA state semifinal win over Marist.

DAVAAR, a 1920s Hawthorn house near Scotch College, is set for the wrecking ball, after selling for $3.25 million at auction over the weekend.
Jellis Craig director Alastair Craig said all three bidders at the auction were planning to demolish the 90-year-old home, which is on a 1598-square-metre block.
It's a trend that has gained momentum this spring market, as some home buyers take advantage of the low interest rates that banks will not always make available for developers.
The auction, at 18 Glenroy Street, Hawthorn, started with a $2.7 million bid and was on the market at $2.9 million, before selling under the hammer $350,000 over its reserve.
''There seems to be lots of demand for land to build new homes. People think they can get in a good area at a more affordable price and rent out the house while they go through planning,'' Mr Craig said. ''Land in the Scotch Hill precinct had been selling for $1800 a square metre and this came out at more than $2000 a square metre.''
Davaar is not the only house poised for demolition after the weekend auctions. RT Edgar agent Mark Wridgway sold an art deco duplex at 39-41 Adelaide Street in Armadale for $3.255 million to a buyer with intentions to build a new house.
''There were six bidders and half of them were developers who wanted to build townhouses and the other half were home builders,'' Mr Wridgway said.
The trend has also been strong in Brighton. Over the weekend, expatriates living in Singapore paid $1.655 million for a block of four one-bedroom units at 6 Nanoon Close.
Hodges agent Campbell Cooney said there were five bidders for the property with a variety of development and investment plans. It had a reserve of $1.4 million.
''You can tell when it's a developer's market because they outbid home buyers, and it's not a developer's market yet - they're not winning,'' he said.
The auction clearance rate turned in a steady, but not stellar, 61 per cent over the weekend from 886 reported results, according to the Real Estate Institute of Victoria. Some 346 properties passed in, 213 of them on a vendor bid. There are 90 results outstanding, which is likely to lower the final clearance rate. But the result is an improvement on the same weekend last year, when only 51 per cent of properties sold at auction.
