School safety is priceless
At a recent meeting of the South Fayette Board of School Directors, the board unanimously voted on an agreement with a visitor management software provider to beef up security measures in the district's schools as well as pupil personnel and administrative offices.
Once the system is in place, anyone entering any building on campus will have to show a valid driver's license or state-issued ID, which will be scanned in and a visitor's pass will be issued. The system also scans for a criminal record or other potential red flags, including protection from abuse orders. While the district did not have money for such a system in its budget this year, it was such a high priority that the $9,010 start up cost is being taken from the general fund.
In the wake of the Sandy Hook Elementary tragedy, as well as other recent mass shootings, South Fayette is right to place a system like this high on its priority list. We don't think there should be a price tag on the safety of students and teachers.
Other area districts have looked into additional security measures. Canon-McMillan Superintendent Michael Daniels was among a group of school administrators who was part of a meeting to discuss improving school safety across the country. While Daniels agrees that buildings must be as secure as possible, he cited budget as the reason for eliminating the possibility of an armed officer in the district's schools.
Bethel Park has updated its security procedures, including a policy that requires visitors to be buzzed in through a designated entry door and presenting photo identification before entry is permitted.
Mt. Lebanon has increased the frequency of random unannounced police officer walk throughs in its buildings, and other area districts are reviewing policies. The bottom line, again, is that school security and safety decisions should not be made based on budget. We encourage all districts to find room in their budgets and do whatever they can to make every school as safe and secure as possible. If only one child's life is saved as a result, if only one incident is prevented as a result, then in our opinion, that is enough.

It's time for all those "best of 2012" lists, when writers everywhere give their 2 cents' worth.
Two cents doesn't buy anything these days, so that seems like an appropriate amount as I ponder what to put on my list.
Usually, such compilations mention movies. Let's see … the closest I came to a theater this year was when I contemplated going to see Led Zeppelin's "Celebration Day" concert film at a special showing last month. Instead, I saved myself a trip and just bought it on DVD.
So unless you're a fan of old rock groups, I don't really bring anything to the table here.
Of course, there's best new music. I did buy Bob Dylan's new album because, well, he's Bob Dylan. And he's been recording albums for half a century.
As far as "new" new, I have no clue. I'd be afraid to find out.
Best books of 2012? Well, I was excited about adding something called "Killing Kennedy: The End of Camelot" to my JFK conspiracy theory collection. But when I saw the listing of Bill O'Reilly as co-author … I'll just borrow the book from the library, thank you.
Other than that, I'd recommend a few Society for American Baseball Research publications, unless esoteric analyses aren't quite your thing.
Speaking of baseball, how about a list of Pittsburgh's best sports moments of 2012?
The Steelers opened the year by advancing to the NFL playoffs, traveling to Denver and … oops. They came right back home.
The Penguins made the NHL playoffs, took on bitter rivals the Philadelphia Flyers and … they still might be scoring goals on Marc-Andre Fleury.
The Pirates were in first place in the National League Central Division at the All-Star break and … well, at least they didn't collapse in the playoffs.
In the latter part of the year, the Steelers have been lackluster and the Penguins look to be sitting out – or locked out, if you will – the whole season.
On the brighter side, the University of Pittsburgh men's basketball team won a postseason tournament, after failing to make the cut for the NCAA or much-less-prestigious NIT tourney. The Panthers ended up in something called the CBI, which no one around here had heard of until Pitt accepted its invitation.
Perhaps the top Pittsburgh sports story of 2012 has been looking back 40 years at Franco Harris' Immaculate Reception. We can't get enough of those Steelers from the '70s.
That's fine with me. As much as I try to keep up with current events, I'll admit to living in the past much of the time. The older you get, the easier that is to do.
So my "best of 2012" list is going to be short, limited to this single item:
Mrs. Funk and I celebrated our 30th anniversary this year.
And that's as good as it gets, until the 31st.
Harry Funk can be reached at email@example.com.

The South Strabane Township police detective who arrested the township woman accused of shooting her husband earlier this month testified Monday the victim thought his wife had a surprise for him when she allegedly shot him in the chest. The couple's two young children were in another room in the apartment when shots were fired.
Latasha Stapp, 26, of 3008 Clubhouse Circle, is charged with one count each of attempted homicide, aggravated assault, discharging a firearm in an occupied structure and four counts of reckless endangerment in the March 12 shooting of 27-year-old Tyler Stapp inside their apartment. She was ordered held for court Monday by District Judge Jay Weller following a preliminary hearing.
Tyler Stapp was shot three times in the chest and abdomen and once in the palm of his hand. That shot traveled through his forearm and exited near his elbow. He was flown to UPMC-Presbyterian hospital after the shooting. He has since been discharged from the hospital but is still receiving treatment.
Latasha Stapp told Detective Ken Torboli the couple had been having marital problems. She said her husband called her several times from work the day of the shooting and was concerned she was going to leave with the children. When he came home from work about 4:15 p.m., she said he appeared agitated and they argued. She also alleged he pulled her hair and then slapped and punched her in the face, Torboli testified.
The two reportedly went back to the living room, where the children were watching television. About 6 p.m., Tyler Stapp laid down in a bedroom usually occupied by his father and took a nap, according to police. Latasha Stapp said she took a walk in the neighborhood and called her boyfriend in Texas. She reportedly had just moved to the Stone Creek apartment complex.
Latasha Stapp told Torboli when she went back, she retrieved a 9mm handgun from her car and put it under a pillow in the couple's bedroom.
"She said that he came in the bedroom, crawled on top of her and started kissing her," Torboli said. "She told him she had a headache. She retrieved the handgun and shot him while he was on top of her. She fired another round as he tried to run out of the bedroom."
A neighbor, Joshua Deter, said he was getting ready to take a shower at his apartment at 3108 Clubhouse when he heard his wife screaming. He said he then saw Tyler Stapp standing in his master bedroom, bleeding. He had a powder burn in the middle of his white T-shirt, Deter said. According to Deter, Stapp apparently forced his way into the apartment, looking for help.
"Tyler said, 'She shot me,'" Deter testified.
Township police Sgt. Drew Hilk said when he arrived, he followed a blood trail inside 3108 Clubhouse and found Tyler Stapp sitting on a bed wearing a blood-soaked T-shirt. His wife was taken into custody outside the apartment.
Trooper Jason Altman of the state police forensics services unit testified he found 9mm shell casings inside the Stapps' apartment, and a weapon believed to have been used in the shooting was found in bushes outside the building.
Tyler Stapp told a different story to Torboli, who interviewed him in the hospital six days after the shooting.
"He said there was no argument," Torboli said. "The kids were playing in the living room."
According to Stapp, he and his wife were on a bed in a bedroom.
"He said they were kissing when she told him to close his eyes because she had a surprise for him," Torboli testified. "He knew she reached behind herself, but he didn't know for what because his eyes were closed. Then he heard the gunshot. She continued to shoot at him as he tried to summon help from the neighbors."
Latasha Stapp was returned to the Washington County jail, where she is being held on $250,000 bond.

Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin dipped into college football history to find his latest offensive line coach.
Tomlin on Tuesday hired former Boston College star Jack Bicknell Jr., to replace Sean Kugler. Bicknell, who has coached five years in the NFL with the New York Giants and Kansas City Chiefs, was the center for one of college football's most memorable plays, Doug Flutie's Hail Mary pass to Gerard Phelan that beat Miami (Fla.) in 1984.
The son of former Boston College coach Jack Bicknell Sr., Bicknell has four years of NFL coaching experience, serving as assistant offensive line coach for the Giants from 2009-11, and offensive line coach for the Kansas City Chiefs in 2012.
"The proof is in the pudding," Tomlin told Steelers.com. "When I had an opportunity to look, not only at what he says from a professional standpoint but also what the tape looks like, it was attractive. They were in a tough situation this past year in Kansas City from a team standpoint. Their record (2-14) reflects that. They had some instability at the quarterback position, but they ran the ball and they ran the ball consistently."
With Bicknell's line leading the way, the Chiefs ranked fifth in the NFL in rushing yards, averaging 147.9 yards per game, despite ranking 27th in passing. Included in that total was a 142-yard effort against the Steelers in a 16-13 Pittsburgh win and a 214-yard game against Baltimore.
"They played the AFC North, and they ran the ball well against the teams in the AFC North," Tomlin said. "They ran the ball effectively against us.
"That was attractive to me. The plan they were able to put together, the success they were able to have against us."
The Steelers, who stumbled to an 8-8 record after a 6-3 start, ranked 26th in the league running the ball in 2012, averaging 96.1 yards per game.
Prior to joining the Chiefs, Bicknell helped coach the Giants to a win in Super Bowl XLVI, with linemen Chris Snee and Shaun O'Hara earning Pro Bowl berths.
He inherits a line from Kugler, who left to become head coach at UTEP, that includes three-time Pro Bowl center Maurkice Pouncey, 2012 first-round draft pick David DeCastro and former second-round picks Mike Adams and Marcus Gilbert. After that, however, there are some question marks.
Left tackle Max Starks and guard Ramon Foster will be unrestricted free agents, and veteran guard Willie Colon has finished the last three seasons on injured reserve and could be a salary cap casualty.
Bicknell sees joining the Steelers as a great opportunity.
"The Steelers have a great tradition, great ownership and great leadership from top to bottom," said Bicknell, who was head coach at Louisiana Tech from 1999-2006. "For me to be able to come to a situation like this, it really is a dream come true."
The hiring of Bicknell leaves Tomlin with at least one coaching opening to fill.
Special teams coordinator Al Everest was fired in August, prior to the regular season opener, and special teams assistant Amos Jones, who replaced Everest, left to take the same position with the Arizona Cardinals last week.

This netter says thanks
While reading the article in the Sept. 18 edition of The Almanac regarding three deserving and inspiring people inducted into the Upper St. Clair athletic Hall of Fame, I was compelled to respond.
I was a member of Rich Saccani's tennis teams in each of my four years at USC. Little did I know it at the time, but in hindsight, I was perhaps the single most fortunate and blessed member of the tennis program of the early 1980's era.
On the one hand, I was privileged to play with, learn from, and simply admire in awe Marty Sieckmann. He was an unbelievably talented player who performed at a level that was head and shoulders above everyone else.
We would drill 3-on-1 against Marty and have no prayer of winning any games, let alone taking a set. His dominance in winning the PIAA singles championship was overwhelming. That tournament was over before it began.
Were it not for the shoulder injury that plagued his career at Rice University, I am convinced that Marty would have become a tremendous professional player and a household name. He was simply that good.
On the other end of my four years, I was blessed to cap off my scholastic career in 1984 as the captain of one of Coach Saccani's six WPIAL championship teams. As the only senior on the 1984 squad, Coach nicknamed me "Pops" and honored me with the team captaincy even though our most talented guys were the juniors, led by Billy Kopp and Chris Brown.
With Coach Saccani's constant encouragement, we learned more about leadership than thought possible. While winning the WPIAL championship was a thrill of a lifetime, the journey eclipsed the destination.
The cohesion developed as a team and the learning and maturation that we all experienced was a reflection of Coach Saccani's unwavering excellence as our leader.
While we played tennis with and against some of the best tennis players of that WPIAL era, we were taught and led by the most outstanding scholastic tennis coach that Western Pennsylvania has ever seen.
As fulfilling as our experiences were on the courts, even better and far more important were the lessons learned from Coach Saccani. He was truly a teacher in all manners of the word, not only in tennis but in life.
He taught all of us the value of hard work and sacrifice, the virtue of living life and pursuing sport with integrity, the joy that stems from competing with passion, and the pride that comes from respecting everyone before, around and after you.
Coach Saccani is a great man and an inspiration to all that he touched. I could not be more proud for him to be so duly recognized forever as a Hall of Famer. So congratulations Mr. Saccani on your accomplishment and thanks for everything you meant to me, to all of us whom you coached.

Uncontrollable roads
In response to Mr. Hartman's comment about the speed stickers on garbage cans, it's just another way to try to curb the speed in the townships, which all need to find a way to make our roads safe. North Strabane has the red signs telling speed enforcement areas as do Peters, plus radio ads say how they're gong to watch for those people that are dangers to the highways and the public.
Just a ride to Washington will show how our roads are out of control. (Police) cannot sit in a church lot, or any lot and expect to curb this. You have to get into the traffic (unnoticed, unmarked) and ride with the wolves.
It all starts from the higher ups to get personnel out and protect our highways and make it safe to use and as far as the interstate, that's another Talladega that needs attention. Anybody can see why people get killed.

Make a conscious effort
Looking through my calendar of national observances, it appears that October is turning into "food month," beginning with World Vegetarian Day and World Day for Farm Animals Oct. 1 and 2, continuing with National School Lunch Week Oct. 14-18 and World Food Day Oct. 16, and culminating with Food Day Oct. 24.
World Day for Farm Animals Day (www.WFAD.org) Oct. 2 is perhaps the most dramatic of these. It celebrates the lives, exposes the abuses, and memorializes the slaughter of billions of sentient animals raised for food. Recent undercover investigations showed male baby chicks suffocated in plastic garbage bags or ground to death, pigs clobbered with metal pipes, and cows skinned and dismembered while still conscious.
Moreover, a recent Harvard study of more than 120,000 people confirmed once again that meat consumption raises mortality from cancer and cardiovascular diseases. Animal agriculture accounts for more water pollution than all other human activities. A 2011 United Nations report recommends eating less meat to reduce greenhouse gases.
The good news is that our meat consumption has been dropping by nearly 4 percent annually. Entering "live vegan" in a search engine brings lots of useful transition tips.

A Carroll Township man told state police that after he shot his wife with a shotgun, he took a shower and made coffee before calling 911 to report the shooting in the early morning hours of March 29.
Ronald George Powell, 70, of 1566 Walters St., was ordered held for court Wednesday on a charge of criminal homicide by District Judge Valarie Costanzo following a hearing in Central Court.
Washington County Coroner Tim Warco said 62-year-old Leslie Powell died of a single shotgun blast to the head. He told Glenn Alterio, the public defender representing her husband, her death would have been instantaneous. The 70-year-old suspect sat next to Alterio, showing no signs of emotion during testimony.
Trooper Joseph Timms, who filed the charges, said he interviewed Powell later that morning at the state police barracks in Belle Vernon.
"He said he got out of bed about 3 a.m. and retrieved the shotgun from under the bed. He always kept it loaded," Timms said. "He used a light he had around his neck and turned it on.
"She was sleeping on her side. He said he pulled the shotgun up and shot her. He then said he took a shower, made coffee and called 911 and told them he shot his wife."
Under cross-examination by Alterio, Timms said Powell was not specific regarding why he shot his wife.
"He said when he woke up he was stressed out and just had surgery that morning," Timms said. "He also said he thought his wife was cheating on him."
Timms said another investigator talked with a representative at Washington Hospital and learned that the surgery Powell had undergone was elective.
Monongahela police Officer Pat Conley, who was first to arrive with partner Officer Kevin Harris, said he saw a shotgun and what appeared to be a flashlight on the bed.
Washington County District Attorney Gene Vittone, who is prosecuting the case, said the couple had been married for about 20 years. He said investigators are looking into whether they had issues in the past.
Powell was returned to the Washington County jail, where he has been held without bond since his arrest.

SOTI Inc. has announced MobiControl V10, the next generation of their mobile security management system.
MobiControl V10 moves beyond classic Mobile Device Management into EMM (Enterprise Mobility Management) techniques, such as Web Filtering, Real Time Antivirus and Malware Protection, Telecom Expense Management, and a Secure Content Library. SOTI claims that MobiControl V10 provides the strongest feature set and broadest device support of any MDM vendor.
EMM is a collection of security techniques for mobile devices. Different vendors use different combinations of them. Some of SOTI's are mobile versions of classic desktop protections, such as web filtering to whitelist or blacklist certain web sites and domains and antivirus/malware protection.
MobiControl V10 also provides TEM or Telecom Expense Management to help companies track and manage voice and data costs, for instance receiving warnings on data overages or roaming. The Help Desk Suite facilitates support, including remote control of iOS and Android devices by support to diagnose and fix problems.
MDM has become commoditized and is, in any case, an inadequate tool for protecting an enterprise. EMM (Enterprise Mobility Management) is the next generation of mobile security.
The Secure Content Library stores encrypted, sensitive data on devices under management so that it can be remotely updated or removed, and updated or expired on pre-set schedules.
In a statement, SOTI President and CEO Carl Rodrigues said "With MobiControl V10... we're moving beyond device management into empowering enterprise mobility with best-in-class remote management and security features, strong integration with backend services including Microsoft Active Directory, SharePoint Server, and certificates, and a superior end user experience."

Lebo, BP boys falter
The first round of the WPIAL Quad-A boys' basketball playoffs were unkind to Mt. Lebanon and Bethel Park.
Although the Blue Devils drew the No. 3 seed in the opening round, they battled Hampton well before faltering, 53-48. Lebo led, 10-8, after one frame and trailed only by one, 26-25, at intermission. However, the Talbots outscored Lebo, 18-12, in the third quarter. They also connected on 18 of 21 attempts from the charity stripe to seal the victory.
Ryan Luther and David Huber paced Hampton with 19 and 14 points respectively, Justin and Jonny David led Lebo with 21 and 13 tallies.
While Hampton improved to 19-4 and moved on to play McKeesport (15-7) in the quarterfinals set for Saturday, Feb. 23, Lebo finished the season at 10-13 overall. The Blue Devils graduate two seniors, Justin David and Tyler Roth.
Meanwhile, the Black Hawks succumbed to McKeesport, 58-54, in overtime and ended their 2012-13 campaign at 17-6. Ranked at high at No. 1 to start the season, the Hawks lost five of their last eight games, including back-to-back defeats to the Tigers.
Carlitto Acie did in the Hawks. He exploded for 28 points, 14 in a pivotal third stanza that saw the Tigers turn a 33-26 deficit into a 34-33 advantage. Acie buried six, 3-point field goals.
While BP led, 29-24, at halftime, McKeesport outscored the Hawks, 22-12, in the third quarter.
Cody Gilchrist paced BP with 22 points followed by Rohan Young's 15 markers. Wyatt Hagerty pitched in 10 tallies. His free throw near the end of regulation pushed the game into overtime, but the Tigers edged the Hawks, 7-5, in the decisive quarter.
The loss saw the end of the scholastic careers for Gilchrist, Young and Hagerty as well as starter Kenny Gilmore and reserves Robert Huntington and Matthew Fowler. Sophomore point guard Joey Mascaro will be the Hawks' lone returning starter next winter.
In Class AA boys' playoff action, Bishop Canevin upended Charleroi, 59-52, at Peters Township. Matt Tambellini tossed in 19 points while Jake Seligman provided 17 markers for the Crusaders, who improved to 11-12 overall.

In other Feb. 20 boys' playoff action, Canon-McMillan (11-11) battles No. 2-seeded North Allegheny (19-3) at 8 p.m. at Chartiers Valley while Seton-La Salle (20-2) faces Mohawk (10-13) at 8 p.m. at Peters Township.
In other first-round action, Chartiers-Houston (14-9) dropped a 45-43 overtime decision to Beaver.
Though CH opened up a 27-22 lead after three quarters, they were outscored, 16-11, in the fourth frame and 7-5 in overtime. A 7-2 run propelled the Bobcats in the extra frame.
Ashley Balzer and Tori Foster led the Buccaneers with 12 tallies each.
The Lady Bucs graduate four seniors, including Balzer and Foster. Amanda Balzer and Kristin Scott are the other two.

This image was made from a glass negative in the archives of the Observer-Reporter. It shows a town on a bend in a river, taken from a vantage point high on the opposite bank.
What town this is and which river it sits on are a mystery to us. We assume it is the Monongahela River, but it could be the Ohio. When the photos was taken is also unknown. Many of the large glass negatives in the newspaper's collection date to the earliest years of the 20th century, so it's a good guess that this scene depicts a time more than 100 years distant.
Some of the buildings are probably still standing, and it's unlikely that the street pattern has changed.
We're hoping our readers can identify this location, and that a photograph can be taken from the same place for comparison. If you think you can solve this week's Mystery Photo, email Park Burroughs, retired executive editor, at email@example.com, or call and leave a message for him along with your telephone number at 724-222-2200, extension 2400.
With a little help, we'll be able to identify the town and publish our findings next Monday.
Concerning last week's Mystery Photo showing the 1940 local running of the Soap Box Derby, Tony Nicolella called to let us know that the photo of Darrell Amos in his car that had been hanging in the bar of his family's restaurant, Peppino's, was not destroyed in the recent fire. "I had taken it down to hang some Prexie football things," Nicolella said. He wants to let people know that the photo will hang again on a wall dedicated to famous Washingtonians once the restaurant reopens.

CHAMBERSBURG – A Penn State veterinarian is proposing a ban on salt licks and feed stations for wild deer in Pennsylvania following the commonwealth's first case of a fatal deer disease.
David Wolfgang of the College of Agricultural Sciences said that deer obviously congregate at such stations, and that's bad enough.
But he said droppings from animals infected with Chronic Wasting Disease could get into the soil and pose a danger for years.
Wolfgang is a member of the state's Chronic Wasting Disease Task Force.
He said the best control programs try to keep the deer population in good balance with forest resources, keep captive deer fenced-in – and farmers adhering to strict monitoring programs – and call on hunters to report sick deer immediately.
Three charged with stealing hatchery fish: Three Virginia men are in hot water for allegedly stealing 31 fish from a western Pennsylvania hatchery.
The men are accused of taking 29 steelhead and two brown trout from the Trout Run nursery on Tuesday night. That's near Erie.
Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission officer Brook Tolbert says the unidentified men were charged with the unlawful taking of more than three times the daily limit of trout and with unlawful devices used to take trout.
Airborne camera downed at pigeon: Police say a protester's remote control helicopter was damaged by gunfire at a Pennsylvania pigeon shoot.
State police say someone shot the helicopter protesters were using last Sunday to record the pigeon shoot at Wing Pointe Gun Club in rural Berks County, about 50 miles northwest of Philadelphia.
Investigators estimate the cost of the damage at $4,000.
Preliminary bear harvest at 2,442: Three days of the statewide four-day bear season have produced a preliminary harvest of 2,442 bears, according to Pennsylvania Game Commission check station reports filed this morning.
Last year's three-day bear harvest total was 3,023; in 2010, which offered a three-day season with a Saturday opener, the harvest total was 2,815.
The top 10 bears processed at check stations, so far, all had estimated live weights that exceeded 548 pounds. James R. Weisbrod, of Quakertown, has harvested the largest bear so far this season. Taken Nov. 20 in Greene Township, Pike County, the male bear had an estimated live weight of 706 pounds.
Other large bears (all but one, are estimated live weights) included: a 699-pound male taken by William M. Rising, of Indiana, in Hamlin Township, McKean County, Nov. 19; a 652-pound (actual live weight) male taken by Timothy J. Moffett, of Barto, in Middle Smithfield Township, Monroe County, Nov. 17; a 620-pound male, taken by Robert A. Pitts, of Meadville, in Roulette Township, Potter County, Nov. 17; a 598-pound male, taken by Michael P. Intallura, of Renovo, in Noyes Township, Clinton County, Nov. 17; 586-pound male, taken by Brian K. Stuebgen, of Renfrew, in Sergeant Township, McKean County, Nov. 19; a 576-pound male, taken by Dana L. Landis, of Chambersburg, in Southampton Township, Bedford County, Nov. 19; a 562-pound male taken by Bryan L. Leabhart, of Dudley, in Carbon Township, Huntingdon County, Nov. 19; a 559-pound male, taken by Clayton L. Dulaney, of Towanda, in Auburn Township, Susquehanna County, Nov. 17; and a 557-pound male taken by Barry Zimmerman, of Loysville, in South West Madison Township, Perry County, Nov. 20.
PGC seeks poacher: The Pennsylvania Game Commission is searching for a poacher who illegally shot a trophy buck with a small-caliber gun during archery season.
Wildlife conservation officer Brian Witherite said that the 225-pound deer had a 10-point rack with a 21½ inch spread.
The animal was shot in the neck Nov. 2 and its carcass left behind in Black Township, about 60 miles southeast of Pittsburgh.
Witherite says the deer's size and rack make it a trophy-class animal, meaning there are substantial penalties for those who are charged with killing it. Witherite hasn't specified the range of those penalties.
The game commission is also offering an unspecified monetary reward for information on the poaching.

Change orders at SF Intermediate School exceed $47,000
Change orders for South Fayette's new Intermediate School building of more than $47,000 were approved by school directors at the board's voting meeting March 26. The largest change order was to remediate soft spots on the ground surrounding the new building, which amounted to more than $38,000.
Joe Brennan of P.J. Dick explained that the soft spots, the largest of which is located near the bus road for the new building, needed to be fixed due to unsuitable soil. He said the cost is about $22 per square yard, or $38,654, to fix the spots. The other spots are located near the road where the construction trailers are currently housed, which is off of the now-closed former Lieutenant Will Way Road, and also in the loop in front of the building.
In order for Massaro, the district's general contractor, to fix the spots, Brennan said the spots had to be over-excavated by about one foot and the spots built back up with a layer of stone, a layer of geo-textile and then a suitable soil material on top.
School board member Alan Vezzi said the areas of the soft spots were "not a surprise to me." Vezzi, who was formerly the district's director of maintenance, said that the area was used as a fill area for when the high school was built more than 10 years ago.
Vezzi said at the time the high school was built, there were no plans to add another building to campus. "Prior to the construction of the high school, there were depressions there," Vezzi said after the meeting about the areas of the soft spots. "The material was kind of pushed there."
Other change orders approved by the board included modifying a door opening in the amount of $1,367, adding a rain leader to the west canopy in the amount of $3,327 and adding walls to conceal bracing in classrooms in the amount of $2,996.
Board Vice President Teresa Burroughs pointed out that those three specific change orders seemed to be "missed" by the architect, Eckles, and that the board should not have to pay a design fee for those changes.
"I don't feel like I should have to pay for their mistake," Burroughs said. "We need to make sure there are no architecture fees on the omissions." Board President William Newcomer agreed, stating that he wanted to make sure the district did not have to pay any architecture fees on the three items.
The board voted on the change orders with the provision that no architecture fees be added to the three items.
Superintendent Dr. Bille Rondinelli said she would be contacting Eckles to make sure there are no design fees on the omissions.
In other business, the board voted in favor of conducting an Extended School Year pilot program for five weeks this summer. The program, which would benefit students with special needs or who need special services, would net the district a cost savings of about $9,500.

Bob Costas blamed the gun.
It wasn't exactly a novel knee-jerk reaction to a senseless murder-suicide but definitely knee-jerk for him to say, on the halftime show of NBC's Sunday Night Football that Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Jovan Belcher and the woman he murdered, Kassandra Perkins, would still be alive if Belcher didn't possess a weapon.
Actually, Costas was publicly agreeing with Fox Sports columnist Jason Whitlock, who had written that and this: "Handguns do not enhance our safety. They exacerbate our laws, tempt us to escalate arguments and bait us into embracing confrontation rather than avoiding it."
It's an old, flawed argument that shows an ignorance of the origin and purpose of the 2nd Amendment, but that's beside the point.
Costas admitted later in the week that he shouldn't have used the halftime show of the game to make his point, mostly because it didn't afford him the time to address the subject thoroughly enough.
Costas has been around long enough and has earned enough credibility that he should have known that. He also should have known that the stance he was taking was even more unoriginal than it was unpopular.
Whitlock and Costas talked about the gun culture and how it leads to violence and murder. It would have shown a lot more courage if, instead of referencing the influence of guns, they had referenced the contribution made by the fuel that keeps the NFL owners rich – alcohol.
According to reports in the days following the murder-suicide, the argument that led to the shooting began when Belcher came home late after a night of partying.
Could Costas have just easily said that, if not for the alcohol culture, Belcher and Perkins would still be here today?
How many of the absurd numbers of run-ins with the law by NFL players would not have happened if alcohol had not been involved?
I'll take an unscientific stab and say 90 percent.
How many gun deaths would not have happened if the shooters hadn't been drinking?
Don't get me wrong. I'm not suggesting that Costas should have called for the return of prohibition. I'm suggesting that he and Jason Whitlock picked on the wrong culture.
• Charlie Batch's performance against the Baltimore Ravens was one of the best local sports stories of the last 10 years.
Your friends in the media, including me, didn't come out looking too smart. I don't know of anyone who expected the Steelers to win, much less expect Batch to be the main reason for it. I also don't know of anyone in the local media who could think of anybody else they'd rather have prove them wrong.
• When the NFL decided to greatly reduce the number of kick returns by moving the kickoff from the 30 to the 35-yard line last year, there was quite a bit of speculating that it was the beginning of the end of the kickoff. That speculation was proven to be well-founded when NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said in an interview with Time Magazine that he thought it was a good idea to at least start thinking about an alternative to the kickoff.
He mentioned a suggestion by Tampa Bay coach Greg Schianno that would give the scoring team the option of punting from their 30-yard line or trying to maintain possession of the ball by advancing it 15 yards.
We have now reached a point in NFL history where people everywhere did not start rolling around on the floor laughing when they heard that ridiculous suggestion. You can bet that Goodell would not have floated it unless it's being given serious consideration.
In fact, prior to Thursday night's game he said that the competition committee will look at it in the of season.
This, of course, is all in the interest of player safety. It also is another example of misplaced concentration.
If Goodell and the NFL were really interested in reducing the frequency and the intensity of on-field collisions, they would get serious about reducing the size of NFL players. They could go a long way toward doing that by having a drug testing program that isn't laughed at by every reputable expert on performance-enhancing drugs.
Goodell and his employers have to understand that fans don't really care about player safety. They're interested in being entertained. That doesn't mean that they enjoy watching players get seriously hurt, but they do enjoy watching players trying to hurt their opponents with big hits. It's called football.
Incrementally legislating violence out of the game is a noble idea, but if it's also incrementally legislating excitement out of the game – which it is – it won't take long to ruin the sport.
They're well on the way to doing that right now.
• It's really heartwarming to hear NHLPA director Donald Fehr say that accepting the NHL's demand for a 10-year CBA wouldn't be fair to future players, but I'd be willing to bet that 85 percent of the locked out players would sign off on it. The kids who are playing pee wee hockey right now will average over $3 million per year in the 2022 NHL.

Former chief Pushak deserves recognition for service
After reading the news articles and watching the news stories focused on the retirement of Cecil Township Police Chief John Pushak, I am struck most by the negativity they channeled.
Let's review the facts: Chief Pushak served Cecil Township for nearly 40 years. After a long, distinguished service, this community should be honoring his loyalty. In fact, we should applaud because rather than just fade away�and keep his head down, the chief himself pointed out the initial account discrepancy.
Having put up the initial red flag, it appears he was put on administrative leave due not to misdeeds, but rather because he called attention to an issue. A lengthy audit (with which he was fully cooperative) proved no funds were missing, and any error was purely a procedural mishap.�
A careful reader can discern that this situation was likely inflamed by the investigation of former Pittsburgh Police Chief Nate Harper. This sort of media contagion can often have long-lasting, negative impacts.
And yet, many positive impacts can be traced to the chief's service. Shawn Bukovinsky will no doubt be a terrific new chief, in part because Chief Pushak mentored him. I, too, received his guidance as his stepdaughter. I know, as so many do, that he is an extraordinarily honest and moral man. His guidance has helped so many (including me, as I am today the CEO of a non-profit dedicated to lifting low-income kids out of poverty).
Let's take the time to thank Chief Pushak for his dedication to a career of service. It would be a shame to let one misunderstanding cloud a four-decade career of distinguished service.

What's being said
When Justice Scalia claims that questions never come to the SCOTUS in any variant form other than a concrete case he fails to mention that it is by choice this is done this way and that the monetary court and attorney system the U.S, is fond of using since the beginning of time is that which is requiring of dirty money. To get an audience on front of the SCOTUS one must shell out big bucks. In a perfect society Legal Aid (not just in small matters but SCOTUS level cases) would not cost - IT WOULD BE PROVIDED. I think the whole thing wreaks of Bullshit.
On the contrary, Mr. Scalia, America has never been more in need of an Article V Convention.
There is rare beauty on our Supreme Court, as exemplified by Justices Ginsburg and Scalia, when despite disagreements they render to each other personal respect of the highest order.
The Article III branch of government is the one which works best. It is also the one that best honors Lincoln's promise of a government "of, by and for" the people.
Without the Court being respectful, the rule of law could not be a calling and nuances would be unwelcome.

I'd like to see the ratified Congressional Apportionment Amendment from the Bill of Rights promulgated to Congress.
I stand for this in the November 2014 election. ScottNeumanforCongress.com
"That amendment, she added, 'means that women are people of equal stature before the law.'"
No, Justice Ginsburg, the amendment read, "Equality before the law...", not equal rights or equal stature, but "equality." When the amendment appeared on the ballot in Massachusetts in the late 1970s, my immediate reaction was that "equality" would have been construed by courts to mean "equanimity of result", not equal application of the law to any particular set of facts. If a then 20 year old could make that judgment, it is inconceivable that a Justice of the Supreme Court, particularly given your political predisposition, could or would not make the same judgment.
Can it. The ERA died because enough Americans came to the same conclusion that I did, even when the amendment was given an unconstitutional extension to the ratification period.
"The failure of the push to add the equal rights amendment, Ginsburg noted, was an example of how difficult the amending process is. That amendment, she added, "means that women are people of equal stature before the law. I think we have achieved that through legislation but legislation can be repealed, altered."
An easier fix would be to deport then shoot (or shoot then deport) those who REFUSE to give women equal stature before the law .
For those who NEGLECT to give women equal stature before the law , deport ☺

Please stop the name calling
This letter is in response to the editorial in The Almanac dated July 3 concerning a victory for same sex couples. As a Christian man, I believe in God's definition of marriage that states marriage is a holy sacrament between one man and one woman. This is God's law and man cannot legally change it to include persons of the same sex. I have no problem with homosexual couples having civil unions. Just don't call it a marriage. God's plan is for children to be raised by a male father and a female mother joined together in matrimony.
I was offended by the editorial author who stated "We live in an era where ridiculous religious zealots strike out against same-sex couples because the bible says it's wrong." As a Christian I would not resort to name calling with those who disagree with me. We are all entitled to our own opinions but name calling does not solve any problems.
Whether you believe in God and His commands or not the truth is that someday we are all going to die and we will each have a one on one meeting with our Creator and He will be the ultimate Judge on how we lived our lives on this earth and where we will spend eternity.

Congratulations everyone!
I really mean it, too. I'm used to contests where at least one of the finalists doesn't even fit in at all, and at least one other just makes me sigh in disappointment.
Castle Grayskullman is really cool. I don't mind losing to him. ;P He manages to be iconic while also being an entirely new character.

Hi yo, silverware!
Hurry, hurry! Step right up! Folks, you say you're having trouble sticking to your New Year's resolution to eat less. You say you want to lose weight, but you just can't stop your arm from shoveling food into your mouth faster than the fireman throwing coal into the boiler of a steam locomotive trying to outrun an Apache war party!
Well, folks, I'm here to tell you not to lose hope. Because I have a simple, four-word solution to all your eating woes. And those words are, "Tech. Nol. O. Gee." You heard me right, ma'am.
Folks, take a gander at HAPIfork, an electronic eating utensil that warns you when you're eating too fast. How? I'm gonna tell ya how, mister!
You program HAPIfork using an application for your smartphone or computer – you have a smartphone, don't ya, kid? – and here's how it works. Now, I'm no rocket scientist, folks, so I'm gonna read from this here piece of paper provided by HAPIlabs, HAPIfork's inventors, who may be rocket scientists but, even if they aren't, at least know how to spell rocket:
"The HAPIfork contains an electronic key with a printed circuit that links the extremity of the fork and the handle of the fork. When you put the fork in the mouth, it closes the electric loop. The device is able to count the number of fork servings during a meal because it only interacts with two parts of the body: your mouth and your hand."
That's right, folks, HAPIfork knows how long you take between bites, and if it's not long enough, this cutting-edge cutlery vibrates and flashes red lights to get you to slow down!
I know what you're thinking, bub: you have a wife to do that! But I'm here to tell you that HAPIfork is better than a wife because HAPIfork can't invite her mother to live with you for six months. That was a joke, ma'am.
Now, I ask you … how much would you be willing to pay for this amazing appliance, which will knock the weight off you faster than the Pittsburgh Pirates get knocked out of the pennant race every year? $300? $200?
Well, folks, find a place to sit down, because you are going to get weak in the knees when I tell you that I'm not asking $300, I'm not asking $200 … heck, folks, call me crazy, but I'm not asking even $100 for this terrific tined terror!
Preorder HAPIfork today, ladies and gents, and I'll charge you only $99. Plus, I'll throw in at absolutely no extra charge a software package that includes, in the words of the megabrained manufacturers of HAPIfork:
• An Online Dashboard to store and review your eating-related data and help you track your progress meal after meal
• A Mobile App so you can check your progress from the road as well as from home
• A Coaching Program to eat smarter and healthier: helpful, useful advice, practical tips and balanced meal plan
• A fun Online Social Game to motivate you to implement these new smart eating habits with your loved ones
Stick a fork in your eating problems, folks, because with HAPIfork, they're done!
But wait, there's more. Order today and I'll throw in, absolutely free (after a modest shipping and handling charge) your choice of these other fine products that the scientists in that tent over yonder are working on as we speak:
SlottOmatic, the amazing perforated spoon that keeps you from eating too much soup!
PointOmatic, the amazing electronic knife that tells you if you're holding it by the wrong end.
Act now! These products won't be around forever!
Keep yer mitts of the merchandise, kid!

I think it would be best for them not to add electronics. No electronics would mean that the largest amount of fans will be able to purchase the castle. If they add electronics and it can't be shipped outside of North America it would really hurt the sales.
I know a lot of people want certain features or gadgets or whatnot....I would be happy with a correctly sculpted and scaled shell of the front of the castle. That is all I need. Anything else is just driving up the cost on something that would barely pay for itself. Even those of us who play a little could deal with a good prop over not getting it at all!
Darth Pardus
Classic Want list: Stinkor shield, Extendar, Snake Face, Snout Spout, Snake mountain bridge and net, Fright Fighter, Talon fighter radar dish, jetsled, tower tools, cliff climber, scuba attack, turbodactyl, bionatops, tyrantosaur, and Eternia
Nah, no electronics, no springs...I'd like some hinges. I don't want a Castle Greyskull playset as much as I want a Castle Greyskull interior/exterior display diorama.
Ask not for whom MOTUC is made, it's made for thee.
If you have to disclaimer your like, then you don't really like it.
HELL YES!!! If Mattel ever does make a Castle Greyskull I know they're going to charge us an arm and a leg so I want them to throw in everything possible and kitchen sink.
The original didn't have any. Put me in the "I don't care what's in it, just get it done" camp!
No electronics needed in my opinion. Just a nice castle and props. Even though it will be expensive electronics will just jack up the price. I don't need my castle to make sounds or move on its own or light up. I just want a nice updated version in the correct scale so figures can properly display on and in it. Why add features that are not needed in a line that boasts no action features?
"I summon forth the portal to the terrible dimension of Despondos!"
No, I'm more interested in a superior sculpt...
I don't want electronics or action features
When it comes to She-ra Princess of Power characters, FILMATION is the way to go!.
Honestly, I don't remember one customer anywhere asking for electronics. While that would be a nice to have, it doesn't strike me as a dealbreaker. Folks want an inscale CG to display with their figures, and I would hazard a guess most would be thrilled with a facade with the jawbridge over nothing.
Most wanted: Starburst She-ra, Lodar, Vintage Toy Catra, Lady Slither, and the Great Black Wizard!
No interest in electronics. The 200x electronic Castle Grayskull was neat, but non-essential. Even the Snake Mountain in the 80's was fun, but didn't make me want it more. The sculpt, size, and cool little visual details is what it is all about.
No interest in electronics. It would surely just jack the price up anyway. No electronics. I'm interested in sculpt, scale, and paint apps, mostly.
My seller/trader/buyer feedback:
MOTUC Most Wanted: 1) Stridor 2) Road Ripper 3) Dragon Walker 4) Land Shark
noooooooooooooo!!!! no electronics...thats needless money spent on a display piece.
Not necessary.
But while we're on the topic, why couldn't Mattel market Castle Grayskull as a Halloween prop? Maybe have a built-in fog machine or the Spirit of Grayskull speaking as the jawbridge lowers. Halloween outlets would order this, no?
I definitely don't want electronics in it. While I appreciate what the 200x castle had going on, I felt that most of the electronic customs took away from some of the design, and was meant more for child play. This is an "adult" line, and I'm far more intrested in seeing the $ spent on a flawless visual design, than interactive electronics. Just my opinion anyway!
Proud member of the Arizona MAZTERS since 2003
Electronics are not needed for Castle Grayskull in my opinion. They will simply drive up the price and not allow international fans to buy it (never understood that whole thing).
What I do NEED Castle Grayskull to have is:
Opening drawbridge
Working lock, like vintage CG (One of my favorite features of the vintage CG).
A tower window big enough for The Sorceress to stand at it and be seen, like in Filmation.
The Sorceress's throne, more like Filmation then vintage toy (If it has a full interior and in not just a shell). And The Sorceress figure needs to be able to sit in the throne.
I could live with a display shell of the front but would rather have both a exterior and interior to display in.
"Don't crowd me boys!"
Definitely not. The figures don't have action features and neither should Castle Grayskull. Furthermore, wouldn't electronics prevent exporting? I'm sure something else on Matty Collector was blocked from international sales for this reason.
Vaults of Grayskull - www.vaultsofgrayskull.co.uk
It would make it cost more and it would screw over all our international friends and we can't have that.
Get a 200x Castle Grayskull if you want electronics!
(lame gameshow host voice) HE-MAN, Greyskull and awaited your return.
Yeah, recycle that one.
"We are the tools of our own imagination, constructing temples and cathedrals in which our most outlandish dreams become truth." - Samael
I know that I am in the minority, but I really hope that they don't make a Greyskull. There is no way that I would be able to afford it, so I'd rather just stick to my 200X version.
Hell yea it would be so cool...but hell no. For a few reasons
1 the price will be way o freaking high. I can tg's excuses for the high price tag.
2 I dont think it will pass customs for our European friends. and we need to keep them in our thoughts about this.

My feedback threadhttp://www.he-man.org/forums/boards/...or-Brian-Ozone
I would prefer it to not heave electronics. One because if it has electronics, they will just say they can't ship internationally and our overseas friends would be out of luck, two because I just don't want them included. Just me, just me.....
Nah, i don't see why CG would need it? It'll only be a display piece so they may as well make it look real good... And it'll drive up the price i assume.

Hostess Brands Inc. says it's going out of business after striking workers across the country crippled its ability to make its Twinkies, Ding Dongs, Wonder Bread and other snacks.
The company had warned employees that it would file a motion with U.S. Bankruptcy Court Friday seeking permission to shutter its operations and sell assets if plants didn't resume normal operations by a Thursday evening deadline.
The closing would mean the loss of about 18,500 jobs.
"Many people have worked incredibly long and hard to keep this from happening, but now Hostess Brands has no other alternative than to begin the process of winding down and preparing for the sale of our iconic brands," CEO Gregory Rayburn said in a letter to employees posted on the company website.
He added that all employees will eventually lose their jobs, "some sooner than others."
"Unfortunately, because we are in bankruptcy, there are severe limits on the assistance the (company) can offer you at this time," Rayburn wrote.
Hostess, based in Irving, Texas, suspended bakery operations at its 33 factories and said its stores will remain open for several days to sell already packaged products. The privately held company filed for Chapter 11 protection in January, its second trip through bankruptcy court in less than a decade.

Mustang Upholstery 1964-2017
The upholstery in your Mustang is one of the biggest parts of your interior. It's what people see the moment they open the door. It is also one of the most abused parts of your Mustang. Between constantly being sat on, exposure to the sun, and the fact that you make it dirty, after many years of faithful service, you might need to replace your upholstery with one of CJ Pony Parts' many Mustang Upholstery parts today!

UpholsteryMustang upholstery is the biggest part of your interior. Not only is your Mustang upholstery the first thing you see when you get in the car, but it is possibly the part that you use the most since you spend your entire time in your Mustang sitting on your Mustang Upholstery. However, because you sit on it so much, any dirt or liquid that is on you can easy get transferred to your Mustang upholstery, staining or damaging it beyond repair, requiring you to select upholstery from one of the thousands of new parts from CJ Pony Parts.
There are literally thousands of Mustang upholstery combinations available from CJ Pony Parts, with more being added regularly. Some owners who are upgrading this part look to find Mustang upholstery that exactly replicates the parts that were originally in their Mustangs. However, some of the best aftermarket Mustang upholstery companies, particularly TMI, have come out with new and upgraded Mustang upholstery parts, including Mustang upholstery with increased bolstering and padding which also maintains the original look. You can also completely redesign your Mustang's interior with new upholstery that can greatly upgrade the look of your Mustang.
However, installing new Mustang upholstery can be a challenging undertaking. Depending on the condition on many parts in your Mustang interior, that endeavor could involve also replacing the Mustang seats. Lots of people like to replace the Mustang carpet at the same time, since the seats are already out of the way, which can further complicate the installation. However, CJ Pony Parts offers guidance on Mustang upholstery installation through several helpful installation videos. Bill Tumas guides our customers through the process, so you shouldn't have any fear of doing the installation yourself. Order your new Mustang upholstery today, either from CJ's secure website or by giving the CJ Pony Parts sales team a call now!

Maison Brillet is the owner of 65 hectares (150 acres) of vineyards lying between the heart of the Grande Champagne region of Cognac and the banks of the river Charente in the Petite Champagne area. This family owned company produces wine, distils and bottles the finest range of products which are sold all over the world. Sales out of France represent 70 % of the activity. Ten generations have succeeded each other. In 1656, Guy Brillet installed the first still in his vineyard in the heart of the Grande Champagne. Six generations later in 1850, Vivien Brillet increased the size of his vineyards and installed his cellars and stills on the banks of the river Charente at Graves. In 1920, Raymond and his son Jean Brillet started selling their cognacs in bottles. Jean-Louis Brillet, 10th generation of the family, extended the range of products and increased the exports.
Brillet - VS Long Drink
Strong, top quality and fruity, this young cognac is aged in old oak barrels, with only a small amount of tannin equally good drunk as a digestive or as an aperitif in a cocktail or as a long drink.Learn MoreExcl. Tax: €25.00 Incl. Tax: €30.00

Format with tools that follow your cursor
When you select a word or phrase in Word Web App or OneNote Web App, you immediately get a toolbar with formatting commands. That saves time, since you don't have to go back up to the command ribbon to make a bulleted list or apply a style. In PowerPoint Web App, this floating toolbar appears when you right-click a shape. In OneNote Web App, the toolbar includes commands for marking to-do items and tagging notes as well.
Here is a Word document with lots of text that you can have fun formatting. Just click Edit in Browser and start formatting.
Change slide layout and more in PowerPoint Web App
Editing slides in PowerPoint Web App is getting more and more like working in the PowerPoint desktop program. Now you can change the layout of a slide just by right-clicking and picking a different layout.

View comments and do more with touch in Excel Web App
Excel Web App now opens workbooks that contain comments. You might notice that workbooks open faster too, because we worked to make the web app snappier.
If you use Excel Web App on a touch device, now you can move and resize charts, and you can select multiple cells by tapping a cell and then dragging a selection handle.
This sample budget has a chart you can work with, as well as comments and sample data. Click Edit in Browser and then give it a try.
We hope these updates improve your experience with the Office Web Apps. You can always let us know what you think whenever you're working in the web apps by clicking File > Help, and then Give Feedback to Microsoft. We're listening to your suggestions all the time!
