Taylor Swift Demonstrates How to Say "I Love You" for the First Time
So strategic.
Taylor Swift, noted boy expert, has revealed the perfect strategy for saying "I love you" for the first time. First, set it up right: Start by holding the guy's hand in public. Then post a couple of Instagramsof the two of you, being cuddly for your 43.8 million followers. After, make the blanket statement that you love people of his nationality at a stadium concert.
Finally, when he himself has made it clear to the press just how much he likes you, say those three little words. In a stadium with him sitting front row. This is what Taylor Swift allegedly didto Calvin Harris Monday night:

"I love you," Calvin or "I love you," fans? Either works, but definitely the first if he says it back.

Rabbi Abraham of Kalisk (1741- 1810) was a prominent Chassidic Rebbe of the 3rd generation of Chassidic Leaders. He was a disciple of Rabbi Dov Ber, The Great Maggid of Mezeritch who was the successor of Rabbi Israel Baal Shem Tov- The BESHT.
In his youth, Rabbi Abraham was a study partner of Rabbi Elijah, The Vilna Gaon, who became the leader of the opposition against Chassidic Judaism- the Misnagdim.
Rabbi Abraham and his Chassidim were prominent among the Chassidic movement with their emotional approach towards the service of G-d and their opposition against the intellectual elitism of the establishment's scholars (Misnagdim). After the Passing of The Great Maggid, the most of the opposition against Chassidism was directed against Rabbi Abraham and his disciples.
In 1777 Rabbi Abraham joined the fist chassidic aliyah under the leadership of Rabbi Menachem Mendel of Vitebsk and emigrated to The Holy Land. He passed away in Tiberias on the 4th of Shevat of the year 5570 from cration (1810 CE).

Omar Prewitt says the heartbreak of William & Mary's loss to Delaware in last year's CAA championship did not hit him initially.
The sophomore says he looked at the Tribe's distraught seniors in the locker room after the loss and didn't understand how much the win would have meant to the only CAA program to never make the NCAA tournament.
After scoring 16 points on 6 of 11 shooting in the Tribe's 72-59 win over Elon in the second round of the CAA tournament on Saturday, it's clear he now gets it.
"We can't be a great team unless Omar plays well," coach Tony Shaver said. "He's that important to us."
Prewitt wasn't the only member of the Tribe who came to play.
CAA Player of the Year Marcus Thornton led the team in scoring with 17 points and Daniel Dixon contributed 12 points on 4 of 9 shooting from behind the arc.
Defensive Player of the Year Terry Tarpey had another great all around game with eight points, nine rebounds, five assists and three steals.
"We got Terry, we got the MVP on our team but Omar takes us to a new level if he's playing well," Shaver said.
Prewitt had struggled at the tail-end of the regular season with a shooting percentage of just 26 percent in the Tribe's last three games. The last of those three was the 80-66 loss to the Damion Lee-less Drexel Dragons.
"If one of us is off, it really hurts," Prewitt said. "I wouldn't say I'm the key factor but if I'm not playing as well, it really hurts our team a lot."
However, during a stretch in the second half on Saturday, Prewitt was they key for the Tribe.
Elon, down by 13 with just over 14 minutes to play in the half, went with a zone defense in an attempt to stop the hot-shooting Tribe.
Seconds later, Prewitt put his head down and earned a bucket on a hard drive to push the lead to 50-35.
After an Elon score, Prewitt again drove to the basket and scored.
"He was the one player during that stretch when they went zone, who really drove for us and got a couple easy baskets," Shaver said.
At the nine minute mark, Omar turned a Sean Sheldon steal into a dunk that would have made Avon Barksdale, Stringer Bell and all of the Low Rises shake and crumble.
He's improved that physical side of his game since his Rookie of the Year campaign last year.
According to his teammates, Prewitt hit the gym this off-season with a determination to get stronger and expand his skill set.
"That helped improve his overall game and his decision making is getting better," said Tarpey. "It's just great to have a player like him on your team."
It is that mental strength that has impressed Thornton the most.
"Each year the game kind of slows down for you a little bit," Thornton said. "He sees the floor better, sees certain things he wouldn't of seen last year.
"Just his overall improvement as a player, I'm really proud of him and it's great to see the way he played today."

Anyone else noticed slow open times and navigation lag within the app since the last few updates?
Mine has been running slow also, especially since I updated to froyo theyre doesnt seem to be any reason for it
Mine has been also, I just assumed it was because of the ROM I was running. OP are you on froyo?
I'm ready to uninstall Handcent and go back to the stock SMS program. Handcent has become a TURTLE.
Texting in general is slow as heck since 2.2 no matter what app I use. Even after a factory reset same issue ;/
Yeah agreed! But the stock messaging app runs a LOT slower...
Definitely slower, and I've noticed that at times the keyboard (not sure if in other apps) jams up when I am texting as well. My old TRS-80 from the 80's could keep up with my typing, I don't see how a 1ghz processor can't lol.

LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - Batman triumphed on the international circuit during the weekend as "The Dark Knight" reclaimed the No. 1 slot with an estimated $42.4 million from 7,700 screens in 60 markets, pushing its foreign gross to $328.6 million.
Thanks in large part to robust first-place openings in France, Spain and Russia, Warner Bros.' "Dark Knight" returned to the top spot for the first time since late July. So far, the Caped Crusader's global box-office receipts stand at $800.1 million.
Placing No. 2 was Universal's "The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor," which had been the top international draw for the previous two weekends. The third "Mummy" adventure drew an estimated $32.6 million from 6,853 screens in 56 territories, hiking its overseas gross total to $196.6 million.
The No. 3 title, "Mamma Mia!," cheerfully broke through the $200 million international gross mark (its overseas total is $204.6 million) thanks to a $16.8 million weekend from 2,750 sites in 24 markets. The feature version of the stage musical is the first Universal title this year to exceed $200 million overseas, and is 2008's ninth-biggest box-office hit internationally.
In the United Kingdom, the largest foreign market for Hollywood studio films, "Mamma Mia!" remains gangbusters. Universal says it is in the No. 1 spot in its sixth weekend, grossing an estimated $4.1 million from 536 screens for a market total to date of $89.2 million, making the musical the biggest title to play the U.K. in 2008.
Pixar/Disney"s "WALL-E" wound up fourth for the weekend with an estimated $13.8 million from 3,824 locations in 29 markets, pushing its overseas total to $146.2 million. The animated title had six No. 1 openings.
No. 5 was the Adam Sandler comedy from Sony, "You Don't Mess With the Zohan," which opened overseas on June 8 and had little box-office traction until this weekend. Thanks to solid openings in the U.K. (where it ranked No. 3), Germany, Austria, Brazil and Turkey, its weekend tally jumped to $11.2 million from 1,475 screens in 24 territories for an international gross to date of $40.8 million.
The weekend's No. 1 domestic title, DreamWorks/Paramount's "Tropic Thunder," the comedy-satire from actor-director Ben Stiller, opened overseas in two markets, laughing all the way to $2.5 million from a combined 437 screens in Russia and the United Arab Emirates.

Skip to comments.Spirituality on the rise on college campuses
Posted on 04/14/2005 9:38:42 AM PDT by Asphalt
WASHINGTON -- Today's colleges are hotbeds of religiosity and prayer where compassion may be on its first major campus upswing since the 1960s, according to a survey released yesterday by the Higher Education Research Institute at the University of California, Los Angeles.
The poll of 112,232 freshmen at 236 colleges and universities found eight in 10 saying they attend religious services, believe in God and care about spirituality. More than two-thirds pray.
(Excerpt) Read more at post-gazette.com ...
A little ray of hope for our youth.....in the face of the faithless, valueless left of academia.
I get regular emails from the Christian group on campus announcing meetings, prayer groups, etc.
Both students and faculty are involved.
Not sure what denomination, but apparently their services involve pizza.
I attend a state school (The University of Texas) and am proud to announce that the Christian presence is surely felt here.
My sister is at Princeton, arguably one of the most liberal schools in the country, she attends several christian groups, and I believe there are others.
I'm at the UW in Seattle and whenever the campus groups are out on the lawn, the religious groups are very well represented.
Considering this is left-of-Lenin Seattle, where spirituality consists of praying to the gay rain god or some such, it looks like they're doing pretty well.
I attend mass at the Newman Center at a University on occassion. The place is always packed. They baptize several students each year. Often they are roommates of someone who is religious and never experienced religion at home. They see these students with a purpose and a sense of peace and want this in their lives too. Some of these students have branched out into the neighboring parishes and are doing great things.
Catholic Ping - Please freepmail me if you want on/off this list
Did you see the Divine Liturgy, or did you program your VCR/DVR to record it? I missed it because I was at a lecture where the son of Blessed Karl of Austria was speaking.
>> According to the UCLA survey, 80 percent of students are interested in spirituality, 76 percent are searching for meaning in life, 74 percent discuss life philosophies with friends, 81 percent attend religious services, 79 percent believe in God, and 69 percent pray. <<
Not credible. 69% pray, but 81% attend religious services? What is the question, "Have you ever attended a religious service?" "Yeah, sure, when my step-father-in-law married my step-mom-third-removed for the fifth time, I went to the service."
Don't get me wrong... I'd love to believe this, but it just isn't consistent with reality.
And to people writing saying how the Neumann Center is packed, or something like that... Are we talking a center that holds 1,000 students out of a university of 87,000 students, 40% of whom are Catholic? Get my drift?
Great news. I know in my son's case that this is true.
Watched it in streaming video at work with the volume turned down to 1 ;-D. Will post a Novendiales thread later with images from the liturgy - the commentator kept marveling at the colorgul liturgical garments worn by members of the various Eastern Churches and how chant was such an integral part of the liturgy.
If you missed it, the program will be repeated this evening at 10pm. It was truly awesome to hear the Maronite chants - especially the Qadeeshat (even with speakers down low), emanating from the Vatican.
The Catholics here at Florida State University are unbelievably on fire, its incredible.
INteresting... and obvious, really.
Good post. Thanks for the uplifting news.

Forzani Group Ltd. declined from $26.50 to $13.61 (A-B), settled into a trading range between $13 and $18 (left shoulder), sold off into another range between $7 and $10 (head) and then rallied and settled into another range between $12 and $16 (right shoulder). This price action produced a bullish technical pattern: an inverse head-and-shoulder formation, which usually supports significantly higher targets. The rise to $17.71 (C) pierced above the neckline (dotted line) to signal the breakout and recent price action (D) suggests the start of a new major up-leg. Only a decline below about $15 would be negative.
Point & Figure measurements provide initial targets of $21 and $24.

Comments about The Dog Park III, Large:
The brown and white dog on the right in the group of three dogs looks like our dog Como. "Dog Park III" hangs in my office and I can de-stress just by looking at it. Love the colors; the green reminds me of springtime. Would love to see our Yorkie in a Dog Park picture too!
Comments about The Dog Park III, Large:
I bought this as a companion piece for Dog Park I -- will undoubtably purchase Dog Park II also, but this one has more poodles.
Love the expressions of the two large poodles -- so self-assured; so smug!
Comments about The Dog Park III, Large:
My dog, Bailey, is the white boxer, who sits in a noble fashion with his
canine friends.
Now that Bailey has passed, the print has become a tribute to him, and a great comfort for us to remember him by.
The details of the print are even more exquisite in person. It sits in a simple black metal frame.
Comments about The Dog Park III, Large:
Jane Troup's work creates a focal point of interest in the room offset by a simple black wooden frame. Beautiful quality with intense coloration. On my print, a red-beleveled matt draws attention the center dog with the red frisbee who just happens to be my eldest daughter's border collie, Maybe.
Wonderful addition to my collection.

The kids had a day off school a few weeks back and we drove to my Grandpa's old farm to spend the day with relatives. I hate admitting this, but I haven't seen this side of my family in YEARS... It is only an hour away, but half of it is country roads and this city girl hates driving on them! Is that weird?! I'll take a 6 lane highway over an unmarked country road any day. This is my grandpa's farm, he passed away when Autumn was about 6 months old, so he would have been her great grandpa. This is my moms side of the family and her brother Dwight still lives in the farm house and runs the farm. The view is so peaceful out here, it just makes me want to sit and read a book outside.
Here is my uncle Dwight and the kids... it is sad to think they really didn't know who he was when we got there. I mean, we talk about Dwight at home and my mom talks to them about him, too... so, they know who he is, but didn't remember ever seeing him. My bad.
Uncle Dwight took both kids on a little tractor ride... Autumn has the HUGEST smile.
The red barn, so pretty
Nathan wanted to see the chickens... when I was little my mom let us hatch an egg in an incubator and we raised it till it was too big for our yard. My mom gave it to my grandpa and told me he wouldn't take it to the soup factory... well, poor Chickie Little went to the soup factory... I found out about that when I was much older, but it made me so sad. :(
Nathan also wanted to see their old outhouse. LOL.
I am not sure why I let the kids roll around in the hay when they have so many allergy and asthma issues... but, you know what? They survived... and had lots of fun!
The house my mom grew up in... it has been renovated inside since then to make it bigger.
Then, we went over to my aunt Shirley's house and the kids got to see a couple of their cousins... once again, they had no idea who they were... :( but, they had fun getting to know them in the short time we were there. I am hoping to get the kids down to the farm a couple times a year, maybe next time we'll go see Fort Chartres, I remember seeing that when I was a teen or young adult and loved it!
We also had lunch at this place... it is called Bean Tree Cafe and I had the best iced caramel coffee there.
Are you ready for the meal plan for this week?
Now, I didn't take a photo of it... but, the Tortellini Slow Cooker dish that I made last week was SOOO dang good. So dang easy, too... you MUST make it! Click HERE for the recipe.

SBRI - Annual Review
The Small Business Research Initiative - SBRI Healthcare - launched their annual review at this year's NHS Expo. The report sets out the impact of the programme over the year but also provides a summary of the outcomes achieved in the period of the AHSN leadership (approx. four years). It has been produced by the Eastern AHSN, which leads the SBRI initiative.
The programme has been able to evidence a pipeline of over 100 co-developed products that matched NHS needs with over 20 being adopted and used in the NHS. These products are starting to impact patient care and the potential value to the NHS was independently evaluated by the Office of Health Economics with a value to the NHS of £1.5bn. The economic impact of these investments are also showing potential with over 420 jobs created or safeguarded delivering an economic impact of over £33m for the UK economy. When added to the private sector investment of £45m this shows the NHS funding has had real economic impact even at this early stage in the process.

On the eve of Monday night's NRL clash with Parramatta, a mouthwatering game against St George Illawarra was the furthest thing from the Sea Eagles' minds, according to coach Des Hasler.
The Sea Eagles can jump the Dragons to the top of the premiership ladder with a win over the arch rival Eels at Brookvale Oval, joining Melbourne after the Storm's 12-4 defeat of Wests Tigers on Sunday at Leichhardt.
The Dragons' State of Origin-induced mini-slump, including Friday night's 21-14 loss to Brisbane, means Manly can also leapfrog the Storm if it beats the Eels by 12 or more.
"By no means are we thinking about St George. We're thinking about Parramatta," Hasler said.
"Let's pay respect to them - they played really well against St George for 90 minutes (in the 14-14 draw in round 13)."
Sitting top of the table would be a major achievement for a side few rated as the 2011 season began and has become outright second favourite for the title.
Hasler, though, had always preferred his sides to be out of the spotlight, something hard to avoid when on or near the top of the table.
"We're just trying to compete with the benchmark sides," he said.
"No doubt, St George and Melbourne are clearly dominating what's out there at the moment.
"We have plenty of young players who are still learning the game and getting to grips with it all, so we just have to keep working and keep trying and keep doing what we're doing."
Manly will shoot for six straight wins against the Eels, whose last outing was the fighting draw with the Dragons.
The Sea Eagles will be without New South Wales centre Will Hopoate, sidelined for at least six weeks after being injured in State of Origin II, but Blues back rower Anthony Watmough is set to back up.
Parramatta has full-back Jarryd Hayne and prop Tim Mannah backing up, but most intrigue surrounds former Test forward Reni Maitua, who could play his first NRL game since completing a two-year drug ban.
Reports suggest the former Canterbury and Cronulla utility will be rushed into Parramatta's side, while coach Stephen Kearney has confirmed Maitua will travel to Brookvale.
Manly's players will wear black armbands and a minute's silence will be observed in memory of former Sea Eagle, dual international and commentator Rex Mossop, who died on Friday.
Mossop played 129 games, including two grand finals, for his beloved Manly before embarking on a 27-year media career.

South Carolina To Launch High School Aerospace Curriculum
South Carolina high school students will soon have access to aerospace engineering classes. Beginning this fall, six high schools across the state will offer the courses:
- Battery Creek High School in Beaufort.
- Edisto High School in Cordova.
- Emerald High School in Greenwood.
- Pickens County Career and Technology Center in Liberty (2018 – 2019 school year).
- RB Stall High School in Charleston.
- Sumter Career and Technology Center in Sumter.
The aerospace curriculum was formally recommended to the South Carolina Department of Education by SC Aerospace - an industry cluster supported by the South Carolina Council on Competitiveness and the South Carolina Department of Commerce.
"Talent development is a top priority for our industry," said James Stephens, chairman of the SC Aerospace Education Working Group and executive director of the South Carolina Aeronautics Commission. "This curriculum is a great fit for South Carolina's aerospace industry in particular because it is multi-disciplinary. Students learn aerospace engineering principles and written and oral communication skills through presenting their projects to industry representatives."
The courses are designed to appeal to students who are curious about the design and flight of aircraft and spacecraft vehicles. The curriculum consists of four courses: fundamentals of aerospace technology, advanced aerospace technology, aeronautics engineering application and astronautics engineering applications.
"We are excited to bring this innovative opportunity to South Carolina schools. These courses not only prepare students for post-secondary success but also teach them critical skills needed to fill jobs in one of our state's most thriving industries," said South Carolina Superintendent of Education Molly Spearman. "This is another great example of South Carolina's leadership and collaborative approach that will ultimately lead to a concentration of highly skilled talent in our state."
Each school implementing the aerospace curriculum this fall will receive $50,000 from the SC Department of Education to help cover the startup costs involved with the course offerings.
"The average total compensation for a private-sector aerospace employee in South Carolina is around $70,000 per year. For young people who may be attracted to this high-tech, steadily growing industry, I can tell you that if you learn skills to work on or around airplanes, it's likely you'll have a well-paid job for life," said Steve Townes, chairman of SC Aerospace and president and CEO of Ranger Aerospace in Greenville.
With implementation beginning this coming school year, the first generation of students who have completed the aerospace courses could graduate in 2019. Students in schools with a block schedule will be able to complete the courses in two years, while students in schools with a traditional schedule will be able to complete the courses in four years.
"This is a perfect example of how Team South Carolina can collaborate to make our companies and our citizens more competitive," said SC Department of Commerce Secretary Bobby Hitt. "Business leaders worked together with educators on this project to develop the next generation of aerospace talent right here in South Carolina."
The curriculum was developed by the Southern Regional Education Board and has been adopted in schools in five other states across the nation: three in Ohio, two in North Carolina, one in Delaware, one in West Virginia, and two in Alabama. Additional information about the curriculum is available here.
A panel will convene to discuss the new curriculum at the SC Aerospace Conference and Expo on August 30th in Columbia. More information about the event is available here.
SC Aerospace is a collaborative effort to advance and market South Carolina's aerospace industry cluster on the global stage. We are a partnership of the public, private, academic and nonprofit sectors connecting the industry's assets and securing future growth. Aerospace is a high-impact industry cluster that contributes $19 billion per year to South Carolina's economy. Employment in the aerospace cluster is growing at a rate eight times higher than the state's average, and private-sector aerospace employees are compensated an average of over $70,000 per year. By growing aerospace in South Carolina, our work creates high-wage jobs and grows the economy. For more information, visit www.scaerospace.com.

WHHS football players concerned about coach turnover, program's future
- Members of the WHHS football team adress District 1 board members.
- WHHS teacher Heather Skinner speaks out against the school's uniform policy.
English teacher Heather Skinner is leading the charge to hamper the current uniform policy at the Wade Hampton High School. Skinner, a longtime educator, has been spurred to action by recent writings submitted to her by her students in her English classes.
An outspoken supporter for the abolition of the Wade Hampton High School uniform policy, Skinner spoke to the board during a listening session and explained her reasons for asking the board for a dress code instead of the current uniform requirements at the high school.
According to Skinner, high-school-age students seek personal freedom and increased responsibility. Allowing children to follow a dress code and not wear a uniform will allow them to learn to be responsible adults, as well as reducing time spent by educators and administrators as they enforce dress code infractions made by students who often have colorful personalities and are not behaviorally disruptive, she explained to the board.
"I believe that requiring a uniform as the high school dress code is not effective. A dress code hinging on uniforms does not mesh with the action-driven high school experience," said Skinner. "We must realize this generation of students requires a different approach if we are to build and maintain repore with them. The current uniform policy presents a stumbling block to establishing mutual respect with students who feel they should have some say in what they wear. High school students are on the precipice of adulthood and must be treated with the expectation that they will make mature choices. The uniform policy communicates to these young adults that they cannot be trusted to make an appropriate decision about what they will wear."
She went on to explain how students who participate in school vocational programs would benefit by the change in policy. She asked board members how often they change the oil in their vehicle or perform woodworking in a uniform such as that required to be worn by students in WHHS vocational programs. "Task appropriate clothing" would benefit students in vocational programs, as well as others, she proclaimed.
Skinner feels the policy limits the students' freedom to express themselves and to take on personal responsibility for their appearance. Skinner also feels allowing students to wear clothing which depicts clubs or sports they participate will only raise morale at the school.
Although Skinner received a round of applause by a large number of individuals who attended the board meeting at Ben Hazel Elementary School, several board members voiced their thoughts on the WHHS school uniform policy.
Board member Libby Murdaugh stated she would be in favor of discussing the matter further, but did not want to rush to a decision. She said that, during her years as an educator, she dealt with students who were ashamed of the clothes they wore to school. She stated in instances where families may not be able to afford designer clothes for their children, students may suffer self-esteem issues and be negatively affected academically.
Board Chairman Phillip Strother explained his feelings on the school's current uniform policy.
"This board up here had nothing to do with making the dress code. We understand that sometimes there is a hardship, but rules are made and things come up that your kids have to do," said the chairman. "My kids went to school and had to follow the dress code."
He went on to say "I still believe that no matter what the kids want to be led by a parent, by old people. I understand that times and things change and [that] you must change things." He added that "I think you all need to study, get a diverse group, come up with a decision and that will be the policy we vote on."
Skinner thanked the board for their time and received a round of applause from the audience in attendance. No vote was taken regarding student uniforms at WHHS.
Football players concerned
Chris Orr and Pernell Maxwell spoke on behalf of a group of WHHS football players who attended the meeting to voice their disappointment about the prospect of a new head coach coming to the school. The students pleaded with the board to allow a current assistant coach to be named head coach.
"Why don't we keep a head coach that is already in the system?" they asked the board.
One of the current assistant coaches these athletes would like to see take the head coach position for the time is David Keyes. Keyes, current defensive coordinator at WHHS, has experience as a head coach, said the team representatives, and would make for a great head coach if they are not able to keep Athletics Director Matt Fligg within the district.
"He lost his leg and he still wanted to be out there coaching us," said Maxwell to the board of the dedication Keyes has displayed to his athletes success.
The speakers from the football team left the board with an ominous thought; if they receive a new coach from an outside school next year there may not be any athletes willing to participate in the football program next season.
"We are going to find the best coach for you all," said Chairman Strother.
Block scheduling
The District 1 School Board unanimously voted to officially begin block class scheduling at WHHS at the beginning of the next school year.
Although school officials, including Principal Bonnie Wilson, state there are many positive aspects of block scheduling, the move from the current seven classes per day to four 90-minute classes each day will force district teachers to undergo extensive in-house training to formulate plans to manage the attention of students during the increased class times, said Superintendent Dr. Ronald Wilcox.
According to Wilson, students will now have four classes during the first semester of the 2017-18 school year and four classes during the second semester of the year.
Research and discussion regarding the pros and cons of utilizing four-by-four block scheduling at was had before the request was brought to the board for a vote.
The four classes per day schedule will mimic, and will prepare, students for post high school education class schedules. Currently, WHHS partners with USC-Salkehatchie and the Technical College of the Lowcountry for college preparatory classes for eligible WHHS students. Those students already spend time in extended classes, and teachers/administrators argued those students will be comfortable with the move.
"It will allow us to provide more opportunities. Our learners will be able to take more classes, more internships will be put in place, it will allow more opportunities for students advancing their career-ready classes and allow struggling students to re-take key classes to stay on grade level instead of having to take credit recovery or re-take two of the same classes the following year," Wilson told the board.
Board member Kari Foy did have a concern regarding the four by four block class scheduling. She, as a district parent, questioned the ability of the four-class-per-semester schedule to keep mathematic formulas fresh in her child's mind, as well as other course work. School officials stated that although an extended time away from a particular subject is one downside to block schedules, additional tutoring opportunities will be offered to students who may be on an extended break between a particular course of study.
As well as concerns regarding retention of information, officials state it will be imperative for students to attend class every day under the new block schedules. Wilson stated if a student misses a day under the four 90-minute class per day schedule, they will very quickly fall behind their fellow students.
"It's a challenge to get everybody on board," said Wilcox of block scheduling. "And we have to look at the time frame between now and next school year. If we decide to move forward at this time, it will require everyone in the high school working together. It is going to have to be a real team effort to do all of the things necessary to bring this about."
"You don't want teachers teaching for 50 minutes and playing games for the other forty minutes," said Chairman Strother. "In-service and getting the teachers prepared is very important for this…have we had enough time to train our teachers in this?"
Parents will receive additional information, as well as be invited to future informative seminars held at the school. Also, all parents will be notified by May 17 regarding their students' course schedule for the 2017-18 school year.
New Principal coming to Ben Hazel
The board unanimously voted to allow the superintendent to proceed with advertising the position of principal for Ben Hazel Elementary School, in Hampton. Current Principal Greg Ackerman will retire from his position as principal of the school at the end of the current school year.
Teachers and administrators were enthused by the board's decision to hire a principal for the school so as not to begin the upcoming school year without a principal in place.
In other meeting news:
- Velma Capers attended the meeting and for a second time asked the board to budget more money to hire bus drivers. She says many are leaving to pursue higher paying positions elsewhere. The board stated they must wait until the state clears the 2017-18 district budget before discussing bus driver pay increases.
- The board voted unanimously to accept the recommendation to hire: Shanera L. Fields for the position of cook/operator at NDMS; Jessica Mixson as Para Pro at WHHS; Harriett Williams as bookkeep at WHHS; Jeriah Greene as CATE at WHHS; Ryan Walsh as Assistant Principal at WHHS; Rachael Phillips as instructional coach at HES; Michelle Purdy as instructional coach at BHP and BES; Jennifer Nelson as science teacher at WHHS and Elizabeth Nettles as English teacher at WHHS.
- Approved Calendar "D" as the 2017-18 school calendar.
- Approved the first reading of the 2017-18 continuing budget.
WHHS senior baseball players honored
- Photographs provided by Cindy Thomas.
For four senior Wade Hampton High School varsity baseball teammates, their careers as high school baseball players ended nearly as they began many years before; with a throw and catch with dad.
We all remember those days, the sound the ball makes when it makes contact with a well-seasoned leather glove. Mom, standing outside with a pitcher of lemonade on a muggy summer evening after dad got home from work and dinner was almost ready. A single pitch to their sons to begin the game acted not only as a symbol of a beginning, but as an end of an era for these four groups of parents and their sons.
Honored before the important home conference game with May River were: senior varsity lettermen Jordan Frazier and his parents, Julie and Chris; DeKelly Pittinger, Jr. and his parents, DeKelly and Tonya; Adrian Lane Scheller and his parents, Ron and Chasta; Nick Soto and his parents, Raymon Soto and Melody Sauls.
The Red Devils came out swinging and held a two-run lead over the Dolphins for a time, but ended falling to the May River team in the third of three consecutive matchups by a final score of 9-4.
Post-season win
The varsity boys took to the field for the first round of the post-season on April 25 as they took on Strom Thurmond High School, at home, during a 7 p.m. game. Although their playoff opponents took an early three-run lead, the Red Devils rallied later in the game and came away with a close 6-5 win. Look for playoff updates at www.hamptoncountyguardian and in next week's Guardian.

The Condo Owner's Dilemma
Saturday, May 3, 2008
Susannah Moss's trendy one-bedroom Adams Morgan condo, in a converted warehouse, has become a potential money drain.
Since Moss contracted to buy the unit in early 2005, she has married, had a child and outgrown the space. She is trying to sell the condo but has been hampered by the housing slump. Three months after putting it on the market, she has yet to receive an offer.
Now Moss, 33, wants to find a tenant for her condo while she waits out the economy. But the condominium association allows only 20 percent of the units to be leased at once, so Moss is on a waiting list. If she tries to rent the unit without permission, she could face a $500-a-month fine.
Condo residents have long scrapped over noise levels, pets and power plays. But the housing downturn is creating a whole new set of problems. Some associations are struggling with rising foreclosures and mounting delinquencies on monthly assessments. Others are finding that rental policies created to preserve property values have become too restrictive for owners who want to rent out their units while waiting for prices to rebound.
Rental policies vary by condo association, but generally they limit the percentage of units that can be occupied by tenants. Some communities require owners to submit the lease they plan to use to the condo board for approval. Renters, the associations believe, are not as diligent as owners about the upkeep of the property and could drag down home values.
The rental restrictions are also meant to guard against the condo being viewed as a risky investment by lenders who believe that buildings with a high concentration of rentals are harder to market to home buyers. Fannie Mae will not guarantee a loan for a condo in which renters make up more than 49 percent of the occupants.
Rental caps are as low as 10 percent in some condo communities, said Jason Fisher, vice president of the board of directors of the Washington area chapter of the Community Associations Institute, a trade group.
"These condos are saying, 'We don't want this to be just an apartment,' " said Fisher, a lawyer with Bethesda-based Lerch, Early & Brewer. "If you get above a certain number of units with renters, the lenders, the mortgage companies downgrade the buildings for purposes of loans."
But the policies can be restrictive during a housing downturn, when owners unable to sell their homes may want to turn to the rental market as a temporary fix. Unable to rent, such owners can feel pressured to sell at a low price.
Moss is not the only owner in her building who wants to become a landlord, and the issue has created tension. The debate "has created division within the community, and tempers and feelings are running very high," said Moss, who also is a real estate agent.
Part of the struggle for some communities is in balancing the interests of owners who live in the building and those who bought as an investment. According to the National Association of Realtors, 18 percent of the properties bought by investors in 2007 were condos.
In 2005, George Gozen jumped into the condo craze, buying several units that he planned to sell quickly. When the market turned sluggish, he decided to rent out his two remaining Washington area condos. He is looking for tenants but is facing a 20 percent cap on rentals in both buildings.

And finally, as I said, we would discuss international peace and security. And as the President mentioned, we discussed the great challenge the world has in Iran. But we also did discuss, of course, Afghanistan. We have a joint mission there and we certainly have very much welcomed the renewed engagement of the United States in that country and always -- particularly in our sector of the country. And of course we always value joint cooperation with the United States on defense and security matters. And our two militaries and our civilian people are working tremendously in southern Afghanistan and we look forward to some of that work continuing.
PRESIDENT OBAMA: Okay. All right, Ben Feller.
Q: Thank you, Mr. President. I'd like to ask both of you: At this point are U.S. and NATO forces winning the war in Afghanistan?
PRESIDENT OBAMA: You know, I think that what is clear is that had lacked as clear of a strategy and a mission as is necessary in order to meet our overriding objective, which is to dismantle and disrupt and destroy al Qaeda and prevent it from being able to project violence against the United States, allies like Canada, our bases and operations around the world. So that has not yet occurred.
When I came in I had to make a series of immediate decisions about sending additional troops to ensure that the election could take place during the fighting season. But I was crystal clear at the time that post-election we were going to need to do an additional assessment. General McChrystal has carried out his own assessment on the military strategy, but it's important that we also do an assessment on the civilian side, the diplomatic side, the development side; that we analyze the results of the election and then make further decisions moving forward.
My determination is to get this right. And that means broad consultation not only inside the U.S. government, but also with our ISAF partners and our NATO allies. And I'm going to take a very deliberate process in making those decisions. So I just want to be absolutely clear, because there's been a lot of discussion in the press about this, that there is no immediate decision pending on resources, because one of the things that I'm absolutely clear about is you have to get the strategy right and then make determinations about resources. You don't make determinations about resources, and certainly you don't make determinations about sending young men and women into battle without having absolute clarity about what the strategy is going to be.
So we are going to proceed and make sure that we don't put the cart before the horse.
PRIME MINISTER HARPER: Just very quickly, to try and answer that question directly. I certainly don't think, notwithstanding the continued problems in many parts of the country, the fierce efforts of the insurgency, I don't think the Taliban in any way constitutes an alternative government or any immediate threat to replacing the government of Afghanistan. So I think in that sense, you know, we can see the progress that's been made. Obviously, though, we are concerned about the strength of the insurgency. We, as I say, welcome the renewed American effort and effort of some NATO countries.
Our emphasis in Canada for some time now, particularly since we extended our mission, has been really the necessity of seeing the Afghan government accept and be able to handle greater responsibility for the day-to-day security of that country as we move forward.
Afghanistan is a very difficult country, I think. All of our military -- Canadian, American, British, those who have been highly engaged -- I think have done a tremendous job moving the ball forward. But in the end, we have to be clear that the security and sovereignty of Afghanistan can in the long term only be done by Afghans themselves. So I think whatever we do on both sides of the border and with our NATO partners has to have that as its long-term objective.
Q: Mr. President, Prime Minister, in contrast to that smart, brief question I have a double-barreled question under the umbrella of security.
Canada and other NATO allies have set deadlines to leave Afghanistan. Mr. President, are you worried that the U.S. will be left to carry the burden in Afghanistan? What role would you like to see for Canada beyond 2011? Prime Minister, do you have any advice for the President, exit strategy or otherwise?
And then on economic security, Mr. President, despite assurances not to worry, U.S. protectionism is hurting Canadian businesses, according to Canadian businesses. And I just -- we wonder if there is anything more you feel you can or that you should do about that?
And Mr. Prime Minister, your views at this stage now that we've seen "Buy American" play itself out?Report Typo/Error

Superintendent's Message
Dear Ashland School District Staff and Community,
I started as the Interim Superintendent for the Ashland School District for the 2016-2017 school year on July 1. Coming home to Ashland is a wonderful experience for Tim and me. Some of you know we moved here from the Bay Area in 1981 in search of a smaller community with an excellent school system and a high regard for the arts. We lived here from 1981 to 1994 during which time our four children all graduated from Ashland High School. From 1981 to 1991 I taught elementary music at Lincoln and Walker Elementary Schools and also worked with the PCAT (Physical Cultural Arts Team) at Ashland Middle School when we moved from a junior high to a middle school model. Our youngest daughter returned to Ashland a couple years ago so that our granddaughter could experience the same great schools that she did. All four of our kids remain grateful for having grown up here.
Its been amazing and heartwarming to observe the dedication of our staff this summer. Buildings and grounds are looking great and ready for our kids to walk through the door on the first day of school. August 29 is the first day of school for first through sixth graders (1/2 day) and new seventh and eighth graders. At AHS, ninth graders will have a ½ day and new tenth through twelfth graders will begin their school year. Then on August 30 all students will begin their first full day. Be sure to go to our website for further information as we get our 2016-2017 school year started.
Each day as I drove home from the District Office this summer I passed the new Turf Field. It was so exciting to see our athletes on the field once it was completed. Huge kudos to Ashland Schools Foundation for that significant fund raising effort as well as their ongoing support every year. And we always give a high five to our community for passing our YAAL ten percent of our operating revenue.
During my one year with you as your Interim Superintendent, I look forward to getting to know you, supporting our staff and helping the Board of Directors in the search for a new and permanent superintendent. The Board of Directors will be seeking your feedback as that process moves forward. We will keep you updated every step of the way.
Heres wishing each of you a satisfying and productive 2016-2017 school year.
Vision without action is merely a dream. Action without vision just passes the time. Vision with action can change the world. Joel A. Barker.
