While principals and teachers are the visible superstars of a school building, a low-profile group of employees plays a significant role with students, and can produce legal issues requiring school board and superintendent attention.
Depending on the district, they go by different job titles: aides, instructional assistants, paraprofessionals. They provide classroom support or special services. They assist teachers, give schools a way to comply with Individualized Education Plan (IEP) requirements in special education, and supply remedial help to struggling students and challenging work to advanced ones.
The following cases involve such personnel and portray legal and policy insights worth weighing. In one instance, the alleged actions of several paraprofessionals generated a discrimination lawsuit by the classroom teacher to whom they were assigned. In another, an aggrieved employee claimed the school system violated her constitutional rights by exposing her to a hard-to-handle special education student who caused her serious injuries. These are their stories.

Obsidian Stout Cake
Makes 5 to 6 individual cakes
4 eggs
2 cups sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup safflower oil
1 cup Obsidian Stout, Firestone Walker Velvet Merlin or a similar stout
2 1/2 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
Chocolate frosting:
4 1/2 sticks (18 ounces) butter, divided
12 ounces bittersweet chocolate
1 3/4 cups powdered sugar
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon hot water
3/4 teaspoon instant espresso powder
1 tablespoon vanilla
1 tablespoon bourbon
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, sugar and vanilla, then oil and stout.
2. Sift in flour, baking powder and salt; whisk to combine. Let sit while you line a half-sheet pan (13-by-18-inches) with parchment.
3. Give batter one last whisk, pour into pan, then spread evenly, pushing batter into corners.
4. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until it springs back to the touch. Let cool in pan.
5. Set a metal bowl over a hot water bath; melt chocolate with 2 1/2 sticks (10 ounces) butter.
6. Using an electric stand mixer, whip the remaining butter until light and fluffy.
7. Switch to the paddle attachment, then add powdered sugar and cocoa powder; mix until combined uniformly.
8. On low speed, slowly add cream. The mixture will look a bit gross and broken.
9. Dissolve instant espresso in hot water; combine with vanilla and bourbon. Pour over melted chocolate.
10. With mixer on low speed, pour in hot mixture; mix until no longer streaky, scraping down bowl halfway. It will be very liquid.
11. Pour about a third of the chocolate frosting over the cooled cake in the pan; spread into an even, thin layer about 1/4-inch thick. Chill at least 1 hour, until frosting is firm.
12. Run a paring knife around the outside of the cake. Flip cake onto board, frosting-side down. With a 3-inch cookie cutter, cut out 15 to 18 circles. Arrange on a powdered sugar-dusted surface in stacks of 3, frosted-sides up.
13. Warm remaining frosting to a spreadable consistency; finish frosting cake sides and tops.

Ensemble Studio Theatre and Youngblood's UNFILTERED Plays Now thru 1/11
Unfiltered 2012, the Ensemble Studio Theatre/Youngblood's under-30, 2012 Obie Award-winning playwright incubator that has produced talents such as Annie Baker, Amy Herzog, Jon Kern, Lucy Alibar, and Robert Askins, has new dates. Unfiltered 2012 opens tonight, November 16, at 7:00pm and now runs through January 11 at Ensemble Studio Theatre (EST), 549 West 52nd Street. (Original dates were November 9 through December 7.)
The EST/Youngblood playwrights with plays in Unfiltered 2012 are Darcy Fowler, Chiara Atik, Angela Hanks, Alexander Borinsky and Ryan Dowler.
The festival features five brand new full-length plays from these playwrights in Studio Productions, with a new play opening each week and rotating in rep. Unfiltered productions frequently mark each playwright's professional debut.
"The Unfiltered festival is where plays like last season's Hand to God by Rob Askins can really get their first shot," says William Carden, EST Artistic Director. "That's often the most valuable thing you can give to a playwright – that first shot. You've never heard of these playwrights, but you will! People forget that EST debuted John Patrick Shanley, Richard Greenberg, Chris Durang, José Rivera and Albert Innaurato, among others. More recently, writers like Annie Baker, Amy Herzog, Lucy Alibar and Rob Askins saw their early plays produced in this program after they left college but before they established careers. Unfiltered is creative risk-taking at its purest. And the audience is key: the public response helps these new plays get going."
The Secret Catcher
First up in the festival is The Secret Catcher by Chiara Atik, directed by Tom Wojtunik, in which a young woman negotiates her first romance while trying to determine the truth of a family curse.
DATES -- The play opens tonight, November 16, at 7:00pm and continues Saturday, November 17, at 7:00pm; Sunday, November 18, at 3:00pm; Tuesday, November 27, at 7:00pm; and concludes Wednesday, November 28, at 7:00pm.
The Bird and The Two-Ton Weight
Next is The Bird and The Two-Ton Weight by Darcy Fowler, directed by John Giampietro. Faced with an unhappy present, a woman discovers her late mother's journal and escapes into the wild times of a young actress in a bygone decade, in London and on her own for the first time.
DATES -- The play opens on Thursday, November 29, and continues on Friday, November 30; Saturday, December 1, at 2:00pm; Thursday, December 6; and concludes Saturday, December 8, at 7:00pm.
Myrna In Transit
The third show is Myrna In Transit by Angela Hanks, directed by Chuck Patterson. After her sister passes, Myrna is haunted by the sorrows of everyone in her Texas hometown. Wherever she goes, everyone feels a little bit better, except her.
DATES -- Performances are on Wednesday, December 5, at 7:00pm; Friday, December 7, at 7:00pm; and conclude on Saturday, December 8, at 2:00pm.
Going Out and Coming Back
Going Out and Coming Back by Alexander Borinsky, directed by Colleen Sullivan, is the tale of a young girl who spends two summers coming of age as a member of an all-women trombone ensemble.
DATES -- The play opens on Wednesday, December 12, at 7:00pm and continues on Thursday, December 13, at 7:00pm; Friday, December, 14, at 7:00pm; Saturday, December 15, at 2:00pm; and concludes Saturday, December 15, at 7:00pm.
Stiff by Ryan Dowler, directed by RJ Tolan, is the fifth and final play in the Festival. Terrence is ready to build a new life with his new girlfriend, but his grief-stricken, mortality-obsessed best friend Omar is mourning his dead wife in a unique and disturbing way.
DATES -- Performances begin Wednesday, January 9, at 7:00pm; Thursday, January 10, at 7:00pm; and conclude Friday, January 11, at 7:00pm.
All seats for individual Unfiltered 2012 shows are $20; $15 for students/seniors and EST members. Multiple show packages start at $30 for two shows and $50 for three. To order tickets call 866.811.4111 or click www.ovationtix.com/trs/cal/134.
The Ensemble Studio Theatre (EST) was founded in the belief that extraordinary support yields extraordinary work. We are a dynamic and expanding company of artists committed to the discovery and nurturing of new voices and the continued support and growth of artists throughout their creative lives. Through our unique collaborative process we develop and produce original, provocative, and authentic new plays that engage and challenge our audience and audiences across the country.
EST/Youngblood (Graeme Gillis & R.J. Tolan, Artistic Directors) is the theatre's company of emerging professional playwrights under 30. For nineteen years EST/Youngblood has nurtured the best new playwriting talent through regular meetings, readings, retreats, workshops and mainstage productions.
In the last few years there have been dozens of high-profile New York productions and other achievements by Youngblood members and recent alums – including, among many others:
Jon Kern's Modern Terrorism received its world premiere at 2nd Stage Theatre in New York City in the autumn of 2012.
Lucy Alibar's Beasts of the Southern Wild screenplay, adapted from a stage play, has contributed to the independent film's widespread acclaim in 2012.
Amy Herzog's 4000 Miles returned to Lincoln Center after a run at LCT 3 and garnered a 2012 Village Voice Obie Award. Her After the Revolution, staged to acclaim at the Williamstown Theater Festival in summer 2010, had an extended run at Playwrights Horizons garnered raves from the New York critics.
Annie Baker won the Obie for Best Playwriting of 2010 for her plays The Aliens and Circle Mirror Transformation, which began in Youngblood's weekly Wednesday night meetings. Her adaptation of Uncle Vanya enjoyed an extended run at Soho Rep in spring 2012.
Qui Nguyen was recognized in 2010 with an Obie Award for his Vampire Cowboys Theatre company, also named in The Village Voice's "Best of NYC." His play The Inexplicable Redemption of Agent G, the conclusion of his Vietnamese Boat Trilogy, ran off-Broadway at Theatre Row in 2012.
Elizabeth Meriwether is the creator of New Girl starring Zooey Deschanel, now in its 2nd season on FOX, and is the screenwriter of No Strings Attached, with Natalie Portman and Ashton Kutcher, which opened #1 at the box office in January 2011.
Christopher Shinn, Obie Award and Lortel Award winner and Guggenheim Fellow, is the author of Dying City, which moved from London's West End to Lincoln Center and was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize. His recent play Picked ran at the Vineyard Theatre last spring.
Lloyd Suh's American Hwangap was produced on both coasts through a unique co-production between Ma-Yi Theatre in New York and the Magic Theatre in San Francisco. He had two premieres in 2012: Great Wall Story at the Denver Center and Jesus in India at the Magic Theatre in San Francisco.
Robert Askins moved to New York in 2005. He has received two EST/Sloan grants, and an Arch and Bruce Davis Award for Playwriting. His Princes of Waco in 2010 was produced and developed by Youngblood. His one-act play Matthew and the Pastor's Wife was a part of Marathon 2010 at the Ensemble Studio Theatre. His Hand to God became one of the most acclaimed plays of the 2011-2012 season.

Greater Western Sydney coach Leon Cameron labelled the second half of its 75-point thumping by North Melbourne at Manuka Oval on Saturday as its worst performance of the year.
But Kangaroos coach Brad Scott still thought there was plenty of evidence of what the Giants' talented kids would become.
The Giants pushed North, but got blown away in the second half largely due to 644 games of AFL experience in Brent Harvey and Drew Petrie (five goals) during the third quarter.
The 19.12 (126) to 7.9 (51) victory cements North's spot in the top eight in front of 10,211 fans - the Giants' second biggest crowd at Manuka.
Giants midfielder Toby Greene was brilliant in his 50th game with 35 possessions, but Cameron said he didn't have many helpers.
Heath Shaw provided run and leadership across half-back, while Shane Mumford battled in the ruck against dominant Roos big man Todd Goldstein.
With just four points separating the sides at the main break, Harvey and Petrie stamped their authority on the game, the latter booting four for the quarter against an undersized Giants defence.
While Petrie was clunking everything in the air, Harvey was everywhere on the ground as the Kangas embarked on an unanswered 10-goal run.
But Scott thought the spark came from the youngest player in the AFL, 18-year-old debutant Kayne Turner, who kicked a goal with his second AFL kick.
"[The Giants] have been a baby that's grown into a boy, that's now an adolescent and is growing into an adult," Scott said.
"They're very quickly looking like the talent that they've got on their list is going to come through.
"When we weren't playing well it's not just because we weren't playing well, it's because they weren't letting us.
"To be honest, I thought it was our youngest, most-inexperienced player that got us going in the third quarter - I thought Kayne Turner was really electric with his effort."
Cameron was left searching for answers at the Giants' second-half capitulation.
He felt there were warning signs in the first quarter, which was an even affair and just poor kicking for goal let down the Giants, who trailed by 15 at the first break.
While the Giants did rally in the second, Cameron still thought they were a bit lucky to get back into the game.
North small Ben Cunnington (three goals) kicked a brace after quarter-time to open up a 26-point lead.
Then the Giants slowly started to get their game going, after struggling to find a way forward through a hard-working North outfit.
Smith kicked his second, threading a needle from deep in the pocket, and then Jon Patton shook off a back problem that seemed to be hindering him to kick the final two goals of the half and just four points separated the teams.
But Cameron was embarrassed by what happened from there, with the Giants held goalless in the third term while North piled on eight goals.
The news got worse for them with Jed Lamb forced out of the game with an ankle injury.
"It was our worst performance for the year I reckon, after half-time," Cameron said. "I know we got belted around the ears a few times in the early part of the year, but after half-time...
"I was concerned at quarter-time, we fought back in the second quarter, we got lucky a little bit coming into half-time, but then the third was one of the worst performances of the year."
Goals: North Melbourne: D Petrie 5, B Cunnington 3, B Brown 2, B Harvey 2, J Ziebell 2, A Black, K Turner, L Adams, M Firrito, R Bastinac. Greater Western Sydney: D Smith 2, J Patton 2, A Treloar, J Kelly, W Hoskin-Elliott.
Best: North Melbourne: B Cunnington, D Petrie, R Bastinac, B Harvey, J Ziebell. Greater Western Sydney: T Greene, H Shaw, D Smith, J Patton.
Injuries: North Melbourne: L Hansen (hip) replaced in selected side by A Mullett, L Greenwood (leg) replaced in selected side by N Grima. Greater Western Sydney: J Lamb (ankle).
Reports: Nil.
Umpires: Chris Donlon, Brendan Hosking, Robert O'Gorman.
Crowd: 10,211 at Manuka Oval.

Several factors are boosting corn futures to start the week. A big South Korean company tendered to buy 193,000 tonnes of corn Sunday night. When combined with the Russia-Ukraine situation and snow over the northern Corn Belt (thereby implying continued planting delays), it was hardly surprising to see corn prices rise. The weekly Export Inspections report was also bullish. May corn climbed 7.5 cents to $5.06/bushel around midsession Monday, while December added 6.0 to $5.0525.
The Ukrainian news is probably supporting beans as well. Although neither Russia nor Ukraine is significant player in the global soy markets, the wheat and corn gains resulting from that controversy are apparently spilling over into the soy complex as well. Soy oil prices haven't reacted significantly to that fact that Ukraine is also a major sunflower oil producer. Conversely, the Export Inspections data was rather poor. May soybeans gained 5.0 cents to $14.68/bushel late Monday morning, while May soyoil edged up 0.01 cents to 42.11 cents/pound, and May soymeal rose $3.3 to 476.1/ton.
Russia's threatened take-over of Ukraine is sending wheat prices higher. It now looks as if Russia is planning to take over the whole Ukraine after having swallowed Crimea last month. The possibility of disruptions to the winter wheat harvest, spring wheat plantings growth and exports in that region is rather obviously boosting prices. The Export Inspections report probably encouraged bulls as well. May CBOT wheat futures soared 23.5 cents to $6.8375/bushel just before lunchtime Monday, while May KCBT wheat futures leapt 28.25 cents to $7.4775, while May MWE futures jumped 21.75 cents to $7.235.
Cattle traders seem confused at this point. Although wholesale prices plunged last week, feedlot operators forced beef packers to pay steady-firm prices for their fed cattle. That result, along with the large discounts already built into CME futures is seemingly limiting Chicago movement to start the week. June cattle futures inched up 0.12 cents to 135.90 cents/pound by late Monday morning, while December stalled at 140.17. Meanwhile, May feeder cattle rose 0.07 cents to 180.15 cents/pound, and August crept up 0.07 to 182.55.
Talk of reduced supplies is probably boosting hog futures. Hog kills posted the past two weeks fell only modestly below diminished year-ago levels, but the shortfalls are likely to increase substantially during the second half of April. That prospect is rather clearly spurring CME buying to start the week. June hog futures rallied 1.42 cents to 122.65 cents/pound Monday morning, while December ran up 0.35 to 89.80.

We've been very lucky at Vermont Woods Studios Furniture to have six fabulous summer interns this year. Douglas's three teens: Trenton, Tristan and Taegen, Manjula's daughter Mugdha, my neighbor Angela and of course Kendall who's been working in our business since he was 12 (Manjula says we have to stop calling him an intern at this point and promote him. I don't know…what do you think?).
The kids give us a hand completing important projects that help us run more efficiently. They get great experience learning how a small business works and we get top notch work at a discount price!
Here are a few snapshots I was able to sneak in over the summer as these hard-workers helped us grow our sales and further our green mission. We're sending them our sincere thanks for a job well done.
And best wishes for a fun and successful year at school!

A state senator wants Medical Cannabis Program managers to take emergency action in light of a New Mexico Department of Health survey that confirms a critical shortage of marijuana for patients statewide.
"You have some very sick people who are begging the department to provide them with the medicine they need," Sen. Cisco McSorley, D-Bernalillo, tells SFR.
In an effort curb the supply problem, McSorely plans to meet with Health Secretary Retta Ward and her staff to encourage them to use their regulatory authority to issue new licenses to non-profit groups that have applied to grow and distribute cannabis under the program. He'll also ask them to consider boosting the number of plants that 23 current growers may legally grow.
During Gov. Susana Martinez's first three years in office, the number of patients licensed to use cannabis has more than tripled (from 3,211 in Jan. 2011 to 10,289 patients by the end of October 2013), but market capacity has been capped at nearly the same level. During the same time period, the department hasn't authorized any new producers and current growers have only been authorized to increase the number of mature plants they're allowed to grow at any one time from 95 to 150.
Limited product supply has also kept the average price for an ounce of cannabis sky high.
Nearly 700 patients who answered a DOH survey this summer say they need an average of about 18.7 ounces of medical marijuana each year—an annual demand of more than 11,000 pounds. Producers report growing only about 20 percent of that amount.
While more than two-thirds of patients were able to obtain medication within a week, others who responded to the survey complained about having to wait two to four weeks for their product. Another 29 percent say they grow at least some of their own medication. Nearly half of the nonprofit producers who responded to the survey reported that they were forced to ration their harvest or turn away patients.
For some patients, steep pricing for medical-grade product has driven them to the street for their marijuana. On the black market, patients can often purchase an ounce of low-quality cannabis for $60, while medical-grade cannabis costs at least $265 an ounce. One producer reported charging $800 an ounce.
Chronic shortages and pricing concerns, McSorley says, are problematic for everyone involved with the program.
"We could be in violation of state statute," McSorley says, citing the 2007 Lynn and Erin Compassionate Use Act that requires medication be provided to all licensed patients. "There is a huge discrepancy between the need and what's being produced."
The insufficient supply of marijuana isn't a surprise to the executive director for R Greenleaf Organics, a non-profit producer with 17 employees operating in Albuquerque. Willie Ford says he's known about the shortage for a few years.
"I've been turning away more people than I serve on a regular basis," he says.
Ford isn't shy at assigning blame for the deficit to restrictive regulations and other nonprofit producers, whom he says aren't taking their production responsibilities seriously.
But mostly, Ford is upset with the Department of Health's hesitancy to meet the legislative mandate. Plant limits, he says, have left top producers' hands tied.
"There are a lot of limitations in this system that don't make any sense to me," says Ford. "If even one person who is guaranteed the right to use this medicine—by the legislature and people of New Mexico—is denied medication, then this program is a failure."
The shortages nearly bring Ford to tears.
"I deal with the people who stand in front of me at the counter and are heartbroken when they're unable to exercise the rights they have," Ford tells SFR. "They know they have the right. I know they have the right and yet we are crippled to make it happen by this administration."
Bureaucracy, he says, has cost dying people a better quality of life.
"It's something many of them won't ever be able to recapture," he says.
Ford would like the Department of Health to consider adopting rules similar to ones adopted by Vermont—where he also runs a medical cannabis operation.
In the Green Mountain state, producers, Ford says, are allowed to have two flowering plants and seven vegetative plants for each registered patient. If that were the case in New Mexico there would be almost 21,000 flowering plants at any given time instead of the fewer than 3,500 permitted today.
"It would," Ford says, "give us the freedom we need to serve the patients that we have."
It would also have a dramatic impact on the price patients pay for medical cannabis. Ford says if restrictions were lifted, he'd be able to sell medication at half the current price within six months.
"When patients blame the producers for the price point they don't realize that we've hit a ceiling," says Ford, adding he's already considering a 10 to 15 percent price reduction. "Until we have the free market to deal with we really can't exercise that muscle."
While McSorely plans to meet with program managers in Santa Fe to discuss increasing plant limitations, that alone, he says, "is still not going to get us anywhere the amount of medication we need."
He thinks it's time for department to issue production licenses to new nonprofit growers to curb the shortfall. But, McSorley's expeditious call for additional licenses isn't the best solution according to Ford.
He and other top producers, who grow close to 80 percent of the medication available to New Mexico's patients, have been lobbying for new regulations to authorize them to increase the number of plants they can grow.
Ford says it doesn't take a lot of analysis to determine which producers are getting it right and which ones are still struggling. He'd like to see producers be rewarded for how well they take care of their patients, but says the administration hasn't given the nonprofit operators a seat at the planning table.
"I think that there are national aspirations for some of our local politicians that may be challenged by a successful cannabis program," Ford says. "They can't stop processing patient licenses because they'd be breaking the rules and be facing a lot of lawsuits. But, for me, limiting the number of plants seems like a very clever way to put on the brakes on the program, at the same time appearing to be concerned."
Growers, Ford believes, lack political astuteness and haven't been able to influence regulations or rule-making. The legislature, he says, has allowed agencies to institute restrictive policies that block residents' rights and access to medication.
While he's been critical of the program in the past, McSorley commends the department for contracting for the survey. He disagrees with Ford and says he believes state employees and the governor are acting in good faith.
"If all the department wanted to do was be obstructionists then I don't believe they would have allowed this survey," says McSorely. "It bares all. It's conclusive proof we have shortages."
Ken Groggle, who manages the state's program for NMDOH agrees. He says he's still analyzing survey responses, and isn't ready to announce what steps the department will take to manage the shortfalls or even when they'll have a plan.
"It does appear that we have to look at production and the availability of medicine for qualified patients," says Groggle, adding he's encouraged that 98 percent of the survey respondents reported receiving benefit from the medical cannabis program.

The PA informs individuals as to what information is maintained on them and where the information is stored. The PA allows individuals to access documents maintained in a PA System of Records (records retrievable by an individual's name or other personal identifier assigned to that individual) and to request amendments to the records.
Documents maintained in a PA System of Records are available to a first-party requester (individual that the record pertains to) or their representative unless the records fall within the exemptions of both the PA and the FOIA. An individual submitting a PA request will be asked to provide proof of identity, i.e., photo identification or a notarized statement confirming his/her identity. This requirement ensures that personal information will not be wrongfully disclosed.

I am a bit conflicted about the importance of the 16 Stages of Insight (ñanas; as in Purification of View, Purification by Overcoming Doubt, etc), since some teachers don't seem to mention them at all (Thanissaro Bhikkhu, Ayya Khema?), whereas others place great emphasis on them (Sayadaw U Jotika, Ven. Ñanaranda, Vissuddhimagga, etc). Some of the stages seem very dramatic, and I doubt that they really apply to everyone (eg. noticing the "10 imperfections of insight" in Purification of Path and Non-Path or experiencing fear as one of the stages). I also have a hard time believing that the order of insights will really always be the same for everyone. My questions thus are: 1) does that sequence of insights always hold true on the path to stream-entry, and 2) is it beneficial to try to adhere to that sequence or should one just practice insight (eg. as per Satipatthana method) and then just take insights as they come?
Many thanks,

Category: names with uplifting meanings
What does a name's meaning really mean? Lots of parents today don't know, much less care, what the baby names they like mean in Old German or Ancient Hebrew. The root meanings of so many names come down to some equivalent of "dark-haired sword protector gift of Jehovah" that have very little relevance to modern life.
And yet there are some names with meanings so uplifting that they gain appeal on that basis alone. What parent can fail to hope that a name that means wise or noble or loving might inspire a child to embrace those qualities?
If the meaning of a name means a lot to you, consider this wide range of choices. And there are lots more where those came from. Search either via the meaning option on supersearch or download the ebook version (or hey, even buy an old school paper edition!) of The Baby Name Bible.

More than a half-million dollars remains at stake in a long-running dispute between Lincoln County and the company that built the new jail and sheriffs office.
At the core of the dispute is the roof of the $15.5 million building, which had to be entirely replaced because of shoddy workmanship.
Poor workmanship allowed leaks in the first roof, which allowed mold to grow inside the roof cavity, on wall board and wet insulation.
The general contractor, Roche Constructors of Colorado, says Lincoln County owes them the cost of replacing the roof.
The county says it was Roches responsibility to oversee proper installation the first roof. And the county also has other concerns with workmanship and delays.
Roche wants to be compensated for weather delays and work that had to be re-done. They blame poor architectural designs for some of the problems.
The roof was replaced as the weather allowed during the spring of 2011, delaying the opening of the new jail for nearly four months.
Meanwhile, overflow prisoners from the old jail went elsewhere, mostly to the Dawson County Jail, for which the county taxpayers paid a daily fee, adding to the countys costs.
County officials also note problems with concrete finish causing cracks in floors, and crooked floors near showers and in exercise rooms.
There was a leaky exterior wall and concrete curbs that had to be redone. Several final details were not finished inside for several months.
Before construction started, the county commissioners hired construction manager Kirk Nichols to oversee the process and represent the countys interests. Nichols watched daily progress, took pictures and made notes, documenting problems.
As work progressed and the odds of an ongoing dispute grew, the county hired an attorney. Nichols is now working with the attorney whenever needed, he said.
Both sides agreed to undergo mediation during the summer, but a compromise could not be reached. A judge from Lincoln listened to both sides and found it was unresolvable.
County commissioner Willis Roethemeyer and Nichols both told the Bulletin that the dispute is now definitely going to trial.
Nichols doesnt work at the courthouse often these days, but is still the countys inspector and answers when the attorney or the commissioners ask for information.
Rothemeyer and Nichols said his work for the county amounts to about four hours a month or so.
Both he and Roethemeyer believe the trial will be held in North Platte in a U.S. district courtroom in the federal building -- the downtown post office.
No trial date has been set yet.

"And the most dangerous period is the aftermath. It is then, with all his resources spent and his guard down, that an individual must watch out for dulled reactions and faulty judgment." -- Richard M. Nixon
Market players realized on Wednesday that the presidential election hasn't changed a thing. We are still faced with the exact same problems we have been struggling with for years and the gridlock, which has hampered any real solutions, is as entrenched as ever.
What added to the volatility was that the market seemed to have been anticipating a Romney win on Tuesday and when that provided to be incorrect there was some very aggressive reposition. The selling became even worse when fiscal cliff concerns suddenly moved to the forefront and market players realized that we are no closer to a solution than the last time we dealt with the issue.
Not only is the domestic U.S. situation a mess, but there are increased worries that the strong man of Europe, Germany, is starting to feel the impact of the European recession. All major solutions to the European sovereign debt issues revolve around Germany and without their confidence and strength it becomes a far more difficult problem
It is not just the macro, there is the concern it has been a terrible earnings season and many are worried that the fourth quarter may not be much better. In addition the technical situation is providing no comfort. The S&P 500 broke through recent lows at the 1400 level on increased volume and has little, if any, good support. The 200-day simple moving average at 1380 is the next key level and it is hard to look at that chart and not anticipate that it be tested.
The Nasdaq and the IWM look even worse than the S&P 500. Both have already breached their 200-day simple moving averages and are now hanging in space with a vast black hole under them.
There are basically two ways of dealing with the current situation. You can keep on trying to guess when a reversal will kick in or you can sit and wait for a solid bottom to form and the action to improve.
My choice is the latter. I always respect momentum and it is clearly to the downside at this point. You can garner much attention by making big bold calls about how things are about to shift, but I'll bet big money that the vast majority of these calls are poorly timed and end up losing money for those that follows.
The one great truth I have learned about the market over the years is that trends almost always continue longer than you think is reasonable. Markets almost always will go higher or lower than most pundits believe is likely and you do much better if you simply respect the momentum until there are clear signs that it is ending. You can still do some counter-trend trading and focus on short term opportunities, but overall the key to market success is the respect that trend.
In the very early going things are flat, but we should have some interest-rate news out of Europe, a number of earnings reports and the weekly unemployment data to move things around. One group I'll be watching closely today is gold, which offered a few interesting charts.

In addition to medications and surgery, radioactive iodine is a treatment option for certain types of hyperthyroidism.
Radioactive iodine is taken by mouth and absorbed by the thyroid gland. Once in the gland, it gives off radiation that damages the thyroid cells and slows thyroid hormone production. The radioactive iodine that is not taken up in the thyroid leaves the body within 2-3 days, primarily through the urine and other bodily fluids.
Calculating the correct dose of radioactive iodine is complicated. It must be done by a trained specialist. Alternatively, many doctors give a standard dose of radioactive iodine. The biological effects of radiation vary among different people, and the length of time it takes to cure hyperthyroidism varies greatly, as well.
This treatment is usually effective in up to 90% of people with Graves disease after 2 months. But, in some, it may take as long as 6 months. A few people may require a second or even third treatment. This happens more commonly in men, people under the age of 40 years, and those with large goiters. After treatment with radioactive iodine, the size of the thyroid gland may shrink.
The side effects of radioactive iodine treatment include:
After this treatment, there is a chance that you may have hypothyroidism, a condition marked by too little thyroid hormone in the blood. This may develop as early as 2 months or as late as 20 years after treatment. The risk is decreases after the first year, and each year after. Because of this, it's important to see your doctor as recommended during the first year to have regular thyroid function testing. Treatment for hypothyroidism involves taking a replacement thyroid hormone.

Derek Wolfe, DT, Cincinnati I've had Wolfe as a possible late-first pick. He's a versatile D-lineman.

Headlines (Campus Updates)
Its time to celebrate National Philanthropy Day!
Communications, Public Affairs & Marketing
Nov 14/13
A flock of paper cranes has landed at Laurier, bringing a message of philanthropy to students across campuses.
In anticipation of National Philanthropy Day, celebrated Friday, Nov. 15, the Laurier Student Alumni Association (SAA) wrote more than 100 notes recognizing donors for their many contributions to the university. They then folded the messages into cranes and distributed them across Lauriers Waterloo and Brantford campuses.
All week, students have been finding the cranes, unfolding the paper, reading the notes and visiting the SAA blog to learn more about philanthropy at Laurier.
The cranes are just one part of Lauriers celebration of National Philanthropy Day. The SAA is also inviting students to share their own personal messages of gratitude with donors today, Thursday, Nov. 14, from 10 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. in the concourse on Lauriers Waterloo campus. Students can write their own thank-you note and receive a free Polaroid photo. Students on Laurier's Brantford campus can visit the Research and Academic Centre West lobby Friday, Nov. 15 from 10:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. for free hot chocolate and photos.
Staff and faculty are among the generous donors Laurier is acknowledging this National Philanthropy Day. Watch a video to see how Laurier students are inspired by the philanthropic commitment of Lauriers donors.
We would like to express our sincerest gratitude to our students, alumni, friends, staff, faculty and senior leaders for their continued personal support of our university, says Cameron Denham, president of the SAA. Your generosity inspires me as a leader of tomorrow. Your gifts are essential to funding support programs for students, enhancing our resources and facilities, and improving the overall Laurier student experience.
Visit Lauriers development website for further information or to make a gift online.

Stay tuned for a full review of the Figma RoboCop action figure, but until then enjoy over 60 new images of the crime-fighting cyborg in action!

El Pacero


text: No recent wiki edits to this page. Leir is the younger brother of Nuada and the Dagda. He is a highly accomplished warrior among the Celtic gods and has often led them into battle. However, his own brash and impetuous nature has prevented him from ever assuming the position of leader. He will often choose to fight when it is either unnecessary or better to retreat. He has a fierce rivalry with his fellow god Bodb Derg, the god of war and something of a friendly rivalry with the Asgardian thunder god Thor. He has fathered several gods and eventually turned his duties of god of the sea over to one of them. He had a long-standing hatred of the Asgardian gods due to conflicts between their mortal worshipers. During modern times the Leir was attacked in Avalon, the home of the Celtic gods, by a beast foreign to the realm. Leir mistakenly thought the attacking beast had been sent by the Asgardians when he next saw and then engaged Thor in battle after he arrived in the Celtic gods' realm while in pursuit of that beast. The two set aside their differences upon realizing the beast was from neither of their realms and had instead been sent by the Egyptian death-god Seth. Leir later convinced the Dagda to end hostilities with Asgard. A short time later Dagda dispatched Leir and his fellow Celtic warriors to aid Asgard in their war with Seth. Seth was a threat to all life and would eventually come for the Celtic gods, so it made sense for the Celtic gods to put aside their differences with the Asgardian gods and unite in common cause. Leir also believed he owed Thor a debt and wished vengeance for Seth's earlier attacks. Leir later attacked a camp of Formorians, another race from the realm of Celtic gods, who are ancient enemies to the Tuatha De Danaan. The battle was broken up by the Dagda before a war could be started. Leir had fallen in love with the Asgardian Sif , so he tricked the Dagda into sending him to Asgard to pursue her. He aided her in finding Thor after being told he had to best Sif's champion in battle. He thought it was Thor, but it turned out to be Sif herself. Underestimating her fighting skills and unwilling to battle a woman as he would a man, Leir was humiliated by Sif in a battle witnessed by his fellow Celtic god Caber. After this humiliating defeat Leir and Caber returned to Avalon. CreationLeir was created by Tom DeFalco and Ron Frenz in 1987 and first appeared in Thor # 386. Powers & AbilitiesExcept for his much greater size, Leir is in many ways a Celtic version of Thor. He possesses strength, durability and other physical abilities that rival those of Thor. His most notable power is the ability to produce long, lightning-like spears that he uses to hurl at his enemies. Backed by his vast superhuman strength, these spears can shatter nearly any substance and have at least similar destructive power as Thor throwing his hammer. It is unknown if Leir has other elemental/weather powers. Leir is an expert in all forms of combat known to the Celtic gods. He is perhaps best at spear throwing calling himself the "God of the spear." Defensively, Leir has forearm shields made of an unknown substance presumably from Avalon.

The Workboats of Core Sound
"Stories and Photographs of a Changing World," written and photographed by Lawrence S. Earley. Along the wide waters of eastern North Carolina, the people of many scattered villages separated by creeks, marshes and rivers depend on shallow-water boats, both for their livelihoods as fishermen and to maintain connections with one another and the rest of the world. The rich history of these hand-built wooden fishing boats, the people who work them, and the communities they serve lies at the heart of this evocative book of essays, interviews, and photographs. 176 pages, 109 photos, $35. Also available as an e-book.

Topic: Trial Drug is working!
The doctors have been very cautious-- they don't want to be too optimistic. However, the second tumor appears to be shrinking/breaking up. It no longer has definitive borders - just a hazy area. The main tumor is still wrapped around the blood vessels and bile duct-- but it has not grown at all.
You know it's a good sign when the doctor walks in laughing and smiling after talking to the radiologist. We were there at the end of the day, and they needed the report from him before they could issue more of the trial drug. The pharmacy was about to close, so they were trying to get him to read the scans and complete the report--he told my doctor, "whatever you're giving him, keep it up--I can't find the second tumor."
Good times, indeed.
P.S. -- they are still enrolling new candidates for this phase.

Family TreeLogic puzzles require you to think. You will have to be logical in your reasoning.
I was going through some old family photos in the attic when I stumbled upon our family tree. I studied it for a couple minutes then went back down stairs to tell my mom about the family tree. The problem is I didn't study it long enough to remember the whole thing. I only remembered a couple things about it, and recent memories. Can you help me figure out my family tree? There are two grandparents, who had two children, who both got married and had 2 more children each. Totaling 10 people in all (Alex, David, Jamie, Jessica, John, Justin, Lincoln, Martha, Mary and Tina).
1. One of Jamie's ancestors was David.
2. John's sister gave birth to Tina.
3. Mary went bowling with her nephew last Saturday.
4. Alex is cousins with one of the girls.
5. Justin married Mary.
6. Jessica is not an ancestor, nor cousin of Tina.
7. Lincoln's brother showed Justin's son his baseball cards.
AnswerMartha and David were the grandparents.
They gave birth to John and Mary.
John married Jessica, who gave birth to Lincoln and Alex.
Mary married Justin and gave birth to Tina and Jamie.

If you know you're not that good with people when you ride on the city bus or subway, then you might want to stay off of planes. The space is smaller and you're going to have to follow directions of the crew and sit in close quarters with other passengers.
Lindsay Capri Bien-aime had to be physically removed from a U.S. Airways flight from Ft. Lauderdale, Florida to Charlotte, North Carolina, Sunday, after crew members complained to authorities that she would not listen to them and was on her "phone the whole time," according to the raw video another passenger took of the incident and posted by local NBC affiliate WCNC.
The 45-minute delay on Sunday's flight out of Ft. Lauderdale took a toll on everyone surrounding the incident because the woman was not complying with police and began to curse and fight with them. Continue reading

Not a lot of great guys to consider but a few would really fit in well with the Pacers and some of them should come pretty cheap.
Trevor Ariza and Dahntay Jones are the best fits for the Pacers and could really give us the defensive spark we need off the bench but would probably take more than the Pacers can offer to pull them away from their respective teams.
Of the cheaper options, I like Anthony Parker, Matt Barnes, Rodney Carney, and Ime Udoka the best.

Mike Wells hinted on Twitter a couple weeks ago that Morway dropped the ball on Crawford, just like he did for Mayo. That's the first I'd heard of that.
Mike Wells
Incorrect. A certain former Pacers GM dropped the ball on that one.
@DPeck523 they tried. Crawford wouldnt have them
What league is that in?
Wow Terry, nice to see that he is still clutch.
Celtics beat Atlanta in OT. They are dangerous.
If they play like they did against the Pacers in the last game where they just kept on taking midrange jumpshots....I won't be as concerned.

The Lakers, I don't know, even if they make the playoffs, I don't think they will get past first round.
The Raptors blow a 7 point lead going into the last 4 minutes of the game and then lose in OT.

I can hear the BZZZZZ in BLF now
I hope the Celtics and the Bulls are out of the 2/3 bracket. Especially the 7 seed - would hate to see the Celtics there. Let them face each other in the 4/5 bracket and give us Atlanta.
I think Brooklyn's pretty much sowed up the #4 seed. The question is whether Chicago will slide down to #6 or #7 (with or without Rose). We're jocking with New York for potential home-court advantage in the second round. Our opponent in the first round? Methinks Atlanta.

what one earth was Gray thinking on that last play? And why didn't Gay slide over and take the charge? He had all the time in the world...
The poster "pacertom" since this forum began (and before!). I changed my name here to "Slick Pinkham" in honor of the imaginary player That Bobby "Slick" Leonard picked late in the 1971 ABA draft (true story!).
Kobe was the man there to be sure. Love how on that first 3 Howard is allowed to "screen" the defender by pushing him 5 feet up the court. As for the mention of Gay needing to step up and take a charge, do you think they would really call it? The Raps defense on the corner 3 was horrible. Why not set up outside him and not let him get to the corner or catch the pass?
Reggie Evans 24 rebs!!! He has to be the best bargain not on a rookie contract at 1.6 mil with 2 more years on his contract. The Nets wish now they never gave Humphries that 12 mil contract. Hump will be an expiring next season, so I look for them to trade him.
Brooklyn has the last "9" players on their roster at less than 2 mil. Just proves you don't have to keep late 20 picks to fill out a roster cheaply!
I mean, even if they don't, surely it's better than giving him an empty friggin lane to the basket? If you don't want to take a charge, contest him, do something! He's not passing it to anyone in an end-of-game scenario.
Anyway, that whole thing is Gray's fault. If you're gonna double at least do so aggressively. And for gods sake, don't give him a clear path to the basket!
I agree with you there JB24. In other news, Damian Lillard killed the spurs last night, leading the Blazers to a 30 point win, 134-104. 134 points is the most the Spurs have given up in the history of the AT&T Center history. He is an amazing player.

I've been meaning to blog on this film for quite some time, but something always came up; in any event, Son of Dracula, one of the last of the truly serious Universal horror films of the 1940s, is a remarkable film in many respects, not least of which is the fact that it's the first horror film to combine distinct elements of film noir with the Dracula legend, transported here to America's south for the first time, and directed by the gifted noir stylist Robert Siodmak (at a salary of just $150 per week), from a screenplay by his brother Curt, both refugees from Hitler's Germany who wound up in Hollywood, and brought their Expressionist style of cinema with them.
Son of Dracula's plot begins in a fairly straightforward manner; Count Alucard (try spelling it backwards; persuasively portrayed by Lon Chaney, Jr.) shows up at the Dark Oaks plantation in New Orleans, invited by Katherine "Kay" Caldwell (Louise Allbritton), a wealthy young heiress with a disturbingly deep interest in the supernatural. In short order, Alucard dispatches her father, Colonel Caldwell (George Irving), and marries Kay, who seemingly dismisses her long time fiancé Frank Stanley (Robert Paige) without a backward glance. Kay soon becomes one of the undead, and it seems as if Kay and Alucard are destined for a life of brutal immortality, scouring the countryside on a nightly basis for victims.
But — and here is the twist that makes the film unusual, and also constitutes a spoiler, so be warned — Kay has only one plan in her mind; after becoming a vampire, she infects Frank, hoping to turn him into a vampire, as well, so that Frank and Kay can live forever, as soon as Kay destroys Alucard by driving a stake through his heart. In short, Kay is a stylish 40s femme fatale, whose true motives can only be divined more than two-thirds of the way through the film, and who dares to double cross even the Prince of Darkness himself to obtain eternal life for herself and her beloved.
Siodmak thought the script was junk, but he's wrong; it's a smooth, solid piece of genre craftsmanship, and the film served as his "trial by fire" at Universal, as he soon moved up to more prestigious assignments, such as The Spiral Staircase (1945), The Killers (1946), based on Ernest Hemingway's short story, and The Dark Mirror (1946), all certifiable noir classics. In addition, George Robinson's atmospheric cinematography brings out every last nuance of the dark, decaying mise en scene of the film, and John P. Fulton's masterful special effects — the first time Dracula transforms into a bat on screen, or a trail of vapor in another memorable instance — adds much to the film's overall impact, to say nothing of Hans J. Salter's suitably sinister music score, one of many for Universal's classic horror cycle.
But in the end, it's Louise Allbritton's performance — alluring, sensual, willful — that serves as the centerpiece of the film, and balances nicely off Chaney's masculine interpretation of Alucard. Son of Dracula is a one of a kind movie, made just as the Universal cycle was coming to an end — it would collapse entirely in 1944 and 1945, with House of Frankenstein and House of Dracula, respectively, but here, for one last time, with a top flight director who would go on to much greater things, and a serviceable cast that responds intuitively to his authoritative direction, the Dracula legend is taken seriously one last time, and the results are well worth watching.
Incidentally, I'll post in a few minutes on Film Forum's tribute to Universal and Robert Siodmak, an event those of you who live in or around Manhattan absolutely should not miss.
