Georgia Institute of Technology student Alex Perez knows how to solve a problem.
The College of Computing student, in his final semester pursuing his Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, once created an air guitar application on his iPhone that allowed him to play the video game Rock Band when he left the accompanying instruments at home during his first semester in college.
It's reasons like that which have inspired him to take on a number of big programming projects during his four years at the Institute.
When he needed a better method to track the movements of the campus transit system in his second year, he created from scratch the now-popular GT Buses app that shows routes and updates the status of each of the school's transit vehicles.
And when he noticed the official Georgia Tech app was out of date, he convinced Georgia Tech's Research Network Operations Center (RNOC) to allow him to design a new version.
It's just the latest in a series of projects that has led him from a casual programming hobby in high school to a soon-to-be degree and a job at Uber in San Francisco, Calif., after graduation.
Perez was a freshman at Holy Spirit Preparatory School in Atlanta when he first got into programming. He had gotten his first Mac around that time primarily because he was interested in building applications for his iPhone. He had an iPod Touch previously and when the new one came out, featuring a number of improvements he didn't have on his own older version, he began to explore the product's operating system online to learn different tweaks, or "jailbreaks," that were possible.
It led him down a path to a whole community of iOS jailbreakers, many of whom were actual developers for the operating system. He learned how to tweak the system and how to recreate components of existing apps that he found interesting.
"It was YouTube videos, Googling, watching video tutorials, reading books," Perez explained. "It's like, if I see a component in another app that's interesting, I can be like, 'Oh, I wonder if I could replicate that myself.' Just exploring all the internals of the iOS operating system."
Those skills came in handy early on in his college career when he built the air guitar app to use with Rock Band. That app incorporates a set of color-coded keys on the phone and a hand-held attachment used for strumming in the other hand.
Then came the buses app, another solution to a problem that was affecting him on a daily basis.
"A lot of these apps I build out of selfish reasons," Perez said. "I needed to use the buses every day to get to classes, and I wanted an app to help me do that. If it's something I can fix, then I'm going to do it."
That was the case with his latest and greatest project, the official Georgia Tech app.
An app had already been in existence for a few years. As updated iterations of smart phones came and went, however, the application remained more or less the same.
"I just wanted to have a good campus app," Perez said. "For Georgia Tech, of all places, with all of our technology, I thought it was extremely important."
RNOC had reached out to him following his work on the GT Buses app. After joining the group, and craving a new exciting project to work on, Perez set out to convince them to allow him to take on the job.
"I had to convince them that it'd be a good thing for the school, a good thing for students," Perez said.
After succeeding at that, he worked for about a year and a half on the application before finally releasing it to the public at the beginning of the Spring 2017 semester.
Nothing was taken from the old app. They decided instead to re-write it entirely from the ground up. They took inspiration from other campus apps, Perez said. Some were helpful. Others, not as much.
"But we looked at a lot of Apple apps that we thought were well-designed to see what a good user interface looks like, and we built our own from that," Perez said. "I'm not a UI designer, so it takes me a lot of time to figure out what looks good."
Eventually they settled on a honeycomb interface on the front page, which navigates to a host of other screens like "Events," "Buses," "Safety," "News," and "Social," among others.
So far, the feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. As with any app, it has already required some improvements, and Perez is happy to continue working out the bugs over the course of his final months at the school.
After that, he'll move on to work with Uber, a company he interned at last summer. He had two other internships over the course of his time in college, both at Apple.
Perez hopes other intrepid programmers will follow his lead to ensure the app remains up to date in his absence after he graduates. He encouraged anyone else who was interested to reach out, like he did, to offer their help to RNOC.
"It's great to be able to put your name on a project like that," he said. "It's given me a lot of experience, and I don't think I'd be where I am without it.
"I feel like I'm an incredibly lucky person to have had some of the success I've had. I got a winning lottery ticket, and I'm not questioning it."

'I felt disgusting' Woman says alleged attack by Rolf Harris drove her to bulimia
AN ASPIRING teenage theatre star developed an eating disorder after she was groped by entertainer Rolf Harris, a jury has heard.
Tonya Lee, now 43, who has waived the usual right to anonymity given to alleged sex offence victims, claims that Harris touched her when she travelled to Britain from Australia for the tour in 1986, when she was 15.
She said she lost up to 13lb after she "stopped eating" and would "throw up" during the six-week trip.
After she returned home, she said that she abandoned her dream of becoming a stage star.
Ms Lee said: "I lost that passion."
Southwark Crown Court heard that Harris met the performers from the Shopfront Theatre Youth Group when they arrived at London's Heathrow Airport in May that year, and later went for dinner at a pub with them.
Ms Lee had been singing, and said the veteran presenter told her she had "a lovely voice" and invited her to sit on his lap, it was claimed.
She said: "I could feel that there was some movement happening beneath me. He was moving back and forth rubbing against me.
"It was very subtle, it wasn't big movements. Everything just seemed to be going on as normal."
The jury of six men and six women was told that Harris started to pat her on the thigh.
Ms Lee said: "He began to move his hand up my inner thigh."
I just wanted to burst into tears at that stage, and I just wanted to run
She said she felt "very uncomfortable" as Harris touched her intimately over her clothing, and she "started to panic" before rushing off to the toilet.
"I was wondering what to do, 'How can I get out of this?', and also I was confused. The whole time this was happening just normal interaction was going on," she told the court.
Ms Lee decided not to tell anyone because the group's artistic director, Kathy Henkel, was friends with Harris, and she felt confused.
When she came out of the toilet, Harris was waiting outside, the jury heard.
The alleged victim said: "He came up and I don't know the exact words but it was something like 'I just want to chat to you some more'.
"I was intimidated because I felt quite claustrophobic."
She said that he then molested her.
Ms Lee said: "I just wanted to burst into tears at that stage, and I just wanted to run."
Harris is accused of 12 counts of indecent assault between 1968 and 1986, all of which he denies.
Three of the charges relate to Ms Lee's claims.
She said after the alleged assault she rushed back into the toilet.
"I was quite emotional, so many thoughts were running through my head. I couldn't believe what had happened. I felt disgusting. I did not know who to talk to."
Ms Lee said she thought no-one would believe her "because it was Rolf Harris", and that she became "an empty vessel" after the alleged abuse.
"I was wondering why I was picked out of all those other people," she said.
She said she decided not to tell her "protective" mother, because she had pushed for permission to go on the trip.
Earlier, Ms Lee had told the court: "She was very hesitant to let me go. She had always been quite a protective mother."
She added: "I just convinced her that I'd be safe and I'd be in good hands."
Challenged about her decision to sell her story about the alleged attack, she said it was a "huge mistake".
She told jurors she finally plucked up the courage to tell police about the abuse last May after seeing reports that Harris was being questioned by police on sex abuse allegations.
But she claimed she was quickly overwhelmed with the press, and was encouraged by her then boyfriend to enlist the help of Max Markson, a famous Australian celebrity publicist.
The mother-of-three claims that she received £15,400 for the story.
She said: "Max had created this thing and I kind of went along with it. I felt like I was kind of trapped.
"I felt like I had made this agreement. I felt like absolute crap. I felt like I wanted to tell the truth.
She added: "And I had been drinking - it is no excuse."
The case continues.

Hi Peachlove,
Glad to hear you're feeling better. I understand you are going through a difficult time right now and are waiting to see your pdoc.
What is your husband's response when you tell him the realities of all of your stress? I wonder why it isn't stressful for him? Have you spoken to him about your concerns and why it is so difficult for him to find a job? I get the feeling from you that he has been stalling for a very long time.

I can't believe that debian is turning into a system where you *have to* reconfigure your time zone after installation because offering too much choice is confusing.

I have balloon boy on my mind. Not because these everything-that-is-wrong-with-America-and-our-culture-of-celebrity parents used their son in an effort to become Colorado's answer to the Kardashians. No. It is for a reason much more personal and closer to my heart, or stomach. He threw up on national television. Twice!
I've had a deep, powerful and, I know, irrational fear of getting sick in public forever. Sometimes I think it's why I've never wanted a huge 'look at me' party-no Sweet 16, graduation or birthday bashes. And let's not even start with a wedding. What if, with everyone staring at me, I just threw up? I used to get panicky on the subway-sure I would faint, collapse onto the filthy floor and be one of those 'sick passengers' who forced the MTA to halt the entire transit system. This mind-set is also what causes me to deny any kind of help whenever I find myself sprawled on the street after one of my annual wipe outs. (Thank you CP Yang Market for indiscriminately dumping the water from your flower stalls all over the sidewalk in the middle of winter. Next time I'll be calling the law firm of Weitz & Luxenberg!) I could have a broken leg and I'd be shooing away helpful strangers with "I'm fine, I'm fine!" while hopping my way home.
All this to say that I have the opposite of a cast iron stomach-so when this poor, used puppet of a child became ill, I felt for him. And then I felt a little sick. When that happens I find myself wanting something really plain. Please, I'm rarely so queasy that I lose my sweet tooth completely. I just don't want anything too rich or chocolatey-a plain cookie and a cup of tea to right what's wrong. I've always been a fan of Carr's Wheatmeal Biscuits and McVitie's Digestives. But I have a hard time finding the Carrs, and McVities are filled with our latest foe-partially hydrogenated vegetable oil.
So, in search of some homemade control I did a little research, some tweaking and had the perfect, simple, wheaty, not too sweet but, straightforward and crunchy, biscuit. And no mixer required!
The next day, when you are feeling back to your old self and the 15 minutes of fame allotted to the Balloon family are up, these versatile little rounds will be even better when they deliver a bit of gorgonzola dolce and fresh fig to your grateful and sturdier constitution. Now just pour the vino!
Balloon Boy Digestive Biscuits
Link to print
¾ cup whole wheat pastry flour
¼ cup all purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon powdered ginger (optional)
1 Tablespoon rolled oats
4 Tablespoons butter, softened
4 Tablespoons brown sugar
4 Tablespoons milk
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Sift together flour, baking powder, salt, (and, if you want a beat of soothing heat, ginger) into large bowl. Stir in oats.
In a small bowl, cream together butter and sugar (I just used a wooden spoon) and add to dry ingredients along with the milk. Stir together until mixture becomes a paste.
Scoop dough out onto floured wax paper and knead until smooth. This will only take a minute.
Place another sheet of waxed paper over dough and roll out until 1/8" thick.
Cut dough using 2 ½" round cookie cutter and transfer to parchment lined cookie sheets. Gather scraps and repeat until all of the dough is used. Prick cookies with a fork. (*Note-if dough seems too soft to transfer, pop in the freezer for 5 minutes and it will be easy to do.)
Bake 15-20 minutes until medium golden. Cool on baking sheets for a few minutes and then transfer to cooling rack to cool completely.

Best one yet. Love the Weitz & Luxenburg reference. So funny. I love how you wove in the pop culture that's going on right now. I too was horrified by him getting sick, buy the way, but now I'm starving looking at your recipe. Yum!

Revathi: Urban audience will like 'Margarita With a Straw'
Actress-filmmaker Revathi, who will be next seen in Kalki Koechlin-starrer 'Margarita With A Straw', feels that urban audiences will like this film.
In the film directed by Shonali Bose, Kalki plays a cerebral palsy-affected girl. The film has been appreciated on the international platform as well.
Revathi feels that urban audience will like this film and it will be "shocking also" for some.
"If you have a disabled person in your family, you will relate to it. It's a very truthful film. It's so real that everybody will connect with it. It's a family story," she told IANS.
Asked about all research that went behind the film, Revathi said: "I did a film called 'Anjali' 21 years back that was directed by Mani Ratnam. In the film, my daughter Anjali had a disability. I had done research at that time and since then I am a volunteer in an organization. I have knowledge about it and it's nothing new for me."
"When I heard the story, I felt that it is about something that I know. So I was happy to do it," she added.
The film that also features Sayani Gupta is slated to release on April 17.

Temperature and Human Capital in the Short- and Long-Run
Joshua S. Graff Zivin, Solomon M. Hsiang, Matthew J. Neidell
NBER Working Paper No. 21157
We provide the first estimates of the potential impact of climate change on human capital, focusing on the impacts from both short-run weather and long-run climate. Exploiting the longitudinal structure of the NLSY79 and random fluctuations in weather across interviews, we identify the effect of temperature in models with child-specific fixed effects. We find that short-run changes in temperature lead to statistically significant decreases in cognitive performance on math (but not reading) beyond 26C (78.8F). In contrast, our long-run analysis, which relies upon long-difference and rich cross-sectional models, reveals no statistically significant relationship between climate and human capital. This finding is consistent with the notion that adaptation, particularly compensatory behavior, plays a significant role in limiting the long run impacts from short run weather shocks.

Fresh Fork Market is Farm Buying Club — we provide our members with a weekly subscription service to fresh and local foods. We run all year round, with a Summer and a Winter season, and our job is to connect you to Ohio's bounty, including just-picked-this-morning produce, meat, eggs, dairy, breads, canned goods, pastries, granolas and more. Every week, our members meet one of our refrigerated trucks in their community and pick up their grocery grab-bag filled with local food. All of this comes from 100+ local, small family farms and producers within 75 miles of Cleveland.
Our mission is to promote buying local, support local family farms, and increase the health and vitality of our subscribers by bringing them fresh, locally sourced ingredients that are both nutrient dense and delicious.
Summer Season
Our summer share runs is 22 weeks, from June through October. Every week you can expect a thoughtfully assembled bag of fresh and local food, including produce, grains, dairy, and other locally produced artisan foods. You also get a detailed summary of the food and where it comes from, as well as custom recipe ideas and instructions for that week's share.
Winter Season
Our winter share is 15 weeks, from November through May. Our winter share comes every other week, and includes dairy, meats, cheeses, grains, and produce flash frozen from the summer share, all which can be used for great winter dishes. Our winter share also comes with custom recipe ideas and instructions each week.
The Finest Local Ingredients
The contents of your bag vary from week to week, based on what items are available locally. Our farmers employ a range of production methods, but the common thread is simple — we want only the freshest ingredients. Over the course of the season, our subscribers will enjoy more than 300 different products. Click here to browse through our newsletters and see past bag examples. For a sample of what types of products come in each week's bag, see the diagram below.
It's kind of hard to believe, but because we work so closely with our 100+ farmers, we're able to provide each weekly share of food for about $27 per week. The larger shares are about $43 per week. As a farm buying club, we ask that members consider paying for their seasonal share upfront, to help ensure our farmers will have the resources they need for the season. However, we have monthly plans as well.
Beyond The Share
Beyond the shares, we strive to cultivate a community based around food and a connection to our area. We sponsor events like Farm Tours and Cooking Classes, to introduce our members to the rich farmland that surrounds our city, and to inspire healthy ways to prepare food at home. We send out a weekly newsletter filled with details about the growing season, our farmers and their lives, and recipes to try. We also throw great potlucks and parties– inviting everyone in our membership to get together with a pot of something to share, their kids and families, and to meet like-minded people who care about food and the people who grow it.

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for Women's Intercultural Center Inc, Anthony, NM, USA
The Women's Intercultural Center is something I have never seen before, it's a very unique center and very important to the community. I learn that all of their programming is initially thought up off by the participants. They give the participants an opportunity to speak up and share what they think are the major issues affecting the community. The center in turns creates programming to fit their needs. I hope people will help this organization grow especially when funding is becoming a major issue in this economy.

Get certified - Transform your world of work today
Location: Oxford, United Kingdom
I have been working in software project management since 2011 with experience in both the Scrum Master and Product Owner roles. I am confident managing the complete software life cycle and working with both technical and business teams. I have improved technical excellence by working closely with development teams, QA and devops to identify and minimise technical debt, implementing robust testing strategy and rigorous processes. My roles have also seen me provide support and education to business functions which has supported the adoption of agile within my teams.
Pearson Education, Product Owner / Portfolio ManagerSeptember 2012 - Present, Oxford, Oxfordshire, United KingdomI joined Pearson Education at an early stage of their transformation from a traditional publishing business whose main focus was printing books to a global service provider of online educational tools and facing the challenges of providing software as a service.
I work in a distributed team, initially as a scrum master but more recently as product owner. I have also worked extensively with a range of business teams to define best practices and implement appropriate processes.
During my time at Pearson I have been able to improve the agile maturity of my team in many ways including enforcement of good practice during scrum rituals, sharing ownership of QA across the team and working with the business to increase the stable team to include dedicated scrum master, tester and design resource. I have also established a closer collaboration with dev ops and improved configuration managaement, rigorous testing processes and restoring business confidence after a period of instability in the service.
In my role as product owner I am providing support and coaching to stakeholders in how agile practices supports their roles and enabling people to feel confident in them so empowering the core team to make appropriate decisions. I have also bridged the gap between the technology and business teams and have reached a point where reliability, security, performance and stability are non functional requirements always at the top of the backlog.
Recently I have taken on additional responsibility to ensure the customer, business and technical teams are all represented across a small portfolio of platforms and leading improvement projects across them to raise technical excellence and consistency across teams,
Defaqto, Product OwnerOctober 2010 - September 2012, Haddenham, Buckinghamshire, United Kingdom
At Defaqto I worked as a product owner in an established data collection company who were starting to transition their main business function into the provision of software services. My role was to help adopt agile process and improve maturity within the development team as well as the supporting business units who needed to adopt the new practices and move away from the 'waterfall' mindset. My role was also heavily focussed on educating on the benefits of stakeholder engagement, identifying and mitigating aganst risk and importance of customer support when providing software as a service. While employed as a product owner I was also heavily involved with supprting scrum master responsibilities and developing test strategies.
Transitioning to Agile
When traditional Waterfall approaches to software development are not producing the required results, it's natural for Agile to be considered an answer. While I have nothing but support for such a decision, it is not an easy path to follow. . . . This article has been written to prepare teams for what lies ahead.

Transition Year

Prepare for ramble.
I'll be frank: I love and hate Jr. High.
I love it for the reason most hate it: the actual educational value is much higher than Elementry, and if one teacher sucks you have others to fall back on. The opportunity of advanced classes are a lovely addition as well. I feel like I'm actually learning something for the first time since maybe Kindergarten.
But the social part makes me want to chuck a select few people at wall.
I know quite well that this is an awkward age for everyone, especially seventh grade, so I can't hold absolutely everything against them. But it does not give half the grade the excuse to be flat out mean to anyone who isn't wearing Hollister.
I don't let it phase me personally, but just seeing it hurt others is reason enough to make me really mad.
Not to brag, but I'm quite certain my mental age is a bit higher than most twelve and thirteen year olds. I don't care about boys other than as friends. I don't care about cloths. AND FOR THE LOVE OF EVERYTHING THAT IS GOOD I DO NOT GIVE A CRAP ABOUT WHO IS GOING OUT WITH WHO. They're twelve. They have a lot of life left. They can worry about that later. I like somebody. Its not a big deal.
But everything is with girls this age. A broken nail is the apocolypse. A jealous friend is nuclear warfare.
I've been told high school is better. I've been told its worse.
I realize the world isn't fair, and I'm in the minority with my independent thinking, but I'm in a not too great mood today. ^^; Sorry.

Welcome to Chamberlin Neuroscience
What keeps you from being your best? Is the barrier Medical? Psychological? Stress? Bad Habits? Do you know? Are you sure? And what's the best way to overcome the things that hold you back? These are difficult questions that people wrestle with every day.
At Chamberlin Neuroscience the road to optimal performance begins with answering these questions. Human beings are exceedingly complex and the path to feeling and functioning better is seldom straightforward. It's easy to spend time, energy and money on help that doesn't help. A comprehensive assessment is the first step towards efficient resolution of the barriers that keep you from being your best.
With a comprehensive assessment comes identification of your strengths, and your capacity to adapt. Cutting edge research emphasizes the importance of resilience. Everybody gets knocked down, but what really matters in the long run is how quickly you can bounce back. Increasing resilience is central to fostering success.
A comprehensive assessment also identifies the points of maximum leverage in the Mind-Body System. A person who has low thyroid function needs Synthroid®, not five years of psychotherapy. On the other hand, a person who has irritable bowel symptoms often does need psychotherapy to facilitate expression of anger and needs, not another GI work-up. And the executive who wants to improve concentration and creativity may benefit more from Open Focus attention training techniques than years of medication trials.
How do you know what will give you the most bang for your buck (and time, and effort)? Well unfortunately human beings don't come with an owner's manual. And that makes identifying the points of maximum leverage difficult. In this regard experience treating people in a variety of settings, with a variety of problems, using a variety of tools is extremely helpful. With over twenty years in practice Chamberlin Neuroscience has that experience.

Chilln with Evo
La Paz Travel Blog› entry 5 of 25 › view all entries
So after the worse bus ride of my life, Im finally in La Paz. So why was it so bad you ask... well, 20 hr bus ride, no bathroom, a tight and cramped tiny bus, the seats didnt recline, there was no padding on the seats, the driver was taking down litters of beer while he was driving, the dust was getting kicked up into the bus making it impossible to breath and, just when it couldnt be any worse, some lady fell alseep in my lap, this my friendis no joke. So, as uncomfortable and as cold as it was, i didnt sleep for 20 hrs straight and couldnt read or write anything because there was no light. It was a night from hell!
However, we made it to La Paz. Its such a cool city! The center of town is very colonial, old Spanish buildings and tiny cobble stone streets, kind of like other Latin American towns, but, its unique because theres such a strong indiginous influence that mixes well with the city, very very very interesting. All the women walk around in traditional dresses and top hats, and the people are extremely and accepting. Its also awesome to hear old indiginous languages spoken on the streets like Quechua or Aymara. I like this culture a lot!
The city has an interesting geography too. Its a valley, with the center of the city directly in the middle. But, surrounding the entire city on the mountain side are shanty towns similar to a favela. Its massive, circling the entire city. Bolivia is a great place full of ancieant culture, but the poverty is very notable.
We had a pretty unique experience today though. We were just exploring the town, checking out different neighborhoods, when we stubbled upon the main center plaza. It was filled with millitary personal, red carpets and a marching band, so, as curious as we were, we decided to stick around. Then, suddenly, a few carscome pulling up, and everyone starts chearing. The first person to step out of the car was, yep, you guessed it, the president of Bolivia Evo Morales. Everyone was chearing and chanting EVO, EVO, EVO. Definitley a different experience, but cool to see Evo interact with the people.
I wish I could stay more time here, but tomorrow, we are crossing the border to Peru to a town called Puno right on lake Titicaca, the highest lake in the world. Itssupose to be beutiful, but I guess Ill see with my own eyes. Ill let you know how it is. Faloooo

A Few Random Updates and a Great Book
The weatherman took away our chances for rain that used to appear for the weekend. (See post below about Liars.)
I read On the Edge (The Edge, Book 1) by Ilona Andrews. I keep threatening to do a review, but suffice it to say I could not order the next in the series fast enough. (Bayou Moon (The Edge, Book 2)) I have loved everything Ilona Andrews writes. The Edge is easily going to make my top books of the year. It's one of the rarest of the rare that I'll probably re-read. It's a mix of urban fantasy, fantasy and romance. Every word of it is done well with awesome characterization and plotting.
New Email Sign Up
I'm going to implement a sign up for people to subscribe via email to my blog. I'll post the details, but if you want to be a beta tester, the signup is over on the left sidebar. Basically if you want an email containing the latest blog posts (sent once daily), you sign up and the daily blog posts will be delivered to your inbox. That way you won't miss a single complaint about the weather–or the weather report!

4 the Record: Pulp Fiction Soundtrack
I SAID GODAMN! This year marks the 20th anniversary of my all time favorite film, Pulp Fiction. I saw Pulp Fiction in a small theatre at the Palmer Park Mall in Easton, Pennsylvania. I was in college and went opening day with a group of my guy friends who it seemed like had been waiting for the film for a decade. I had never seen a Quentin Tarantino film before. Crazy, right? Luckily I was fully schooled in the art of Tarantino before we went, mostly because Chad refused to talk and answer any questions during the film. Can you blame him? What unfolded was a long time love affair with not only Tarrantino, but Uma Thurman, trench coats, and red lipstick. And then there was the soundtrack. Obscure as hell, weird, haunting, but oh so cool. There are few things better than Dusty Springfield belting out Son of a Preacher Man. In tribute to my fave film and one of the coolest women around, Mrs. Mia Wallace, here's this week's 4 the Record and my modern take on what Mia might be wearing these days.

The Praying Mantis Trailer (1988)
01 January 1988 Animated, History 7 mins
A cicada is resting high on a tree. It is chirping for all it's worth and drinking in the dew, oblivious of a mantis behind. The mantis, bending over and arching up its front leg, is going to catch the cicada but does not know that there is an oriole beside it. The bird has stretched out its neck, ready to peck at the mantis. Again the oriole is unaware that a weasel is sneaking up to it. The three creatures all covet gains ahead without being aware of an imminent danger behind.

All residents of Middletown are required to file a tax return regardless of where they work. Residents, age 65 or over may be eligible for a senior account. Contact our office for details.
You are subject to tax on all income earned while working
in the City, regardless of where you live or where your
employer's main office is located. But, the City
holds the employer liable for withholding the tax.
Therefore, you do not have to file a Middletown tax return if
you work in Middletown but live elsewhere. Exceptions to this:
Earned income is subject to the Middletown local income tax but
unearned income is not. Common illustrations of earned income
include salaries, qualifying wages, commissions, bonuses, and other compensation
paid by employer(s) before any deductions. Unlike for your
Federal return, you may not deduct contributions to a retirement
plan (IRA, 401k, 403b, or 457b) on
your Middletown return. Also taxable are gambling and lottery
winnings reported on IRS form W2G or Form 5754. Earnings
are taxed in the year earned. Pension and retirement income is
not taxable when you are retired and receiving distributions.
The City does not tax unearned income. Examples of unearned
income are dividends, interest, capital gains (unless taxed
as ordinary income), alimony received, military pay, state unemployment
benefits, worker's compensation, social security, welfare assistance,
and pension or retirement income.
The only expenses that can be deducted from earned income as
an individual are those reported on the Federal Form 2106. These
pertain to unreimbursed business expense incurred as an employee.
You may be employed and also earn incidental income on the side.
If so, your incidental net income is subject to tax. It might
be in the form of fees for consulting or professional services,
honorariums from speaking engagements, royalties from publications,
small construction jobs, rental property, or other earned income.
You may combine the results of each business and report the total
on page one of the Form IR, Please also attach copies of
all applicable federal forms.
Net operating losses cannot be used to offset employee wages.
For unincorporated businesses, if you operated more than
one business, a net operating loss can be used to offset profits
from any other type of business you operate. The remainder
of the loss that could not be offset to other business profits
can be carried forward to be used as a future offset for up to
five years. Losses must be reported on Form IR, but are
not deducted in the computation of your individual taxable income.

Acting Like a Kid for the Holidays
I think this is a common occurrence so I wouldn't necessarily say we are acting like kids but more being that goofy, comfortable joyous self.

Postmaster Billy also told me that people should not wait until the last minute to ship their packages if you want to make sure they arrive on time.
First thank you to the Missoula Food Bank for their nice gift of a new fishing hat for helping with can the bobcats food drive. They really do all the work but we were glad to be able to help promote such a worthy cause. You can help in a few ways the next few weeks to help with some of the needs around the holidays.
Some inconsiderate jerk cut the lock on this woman's storage unit and stole all of the gifts that she has purchased for Christmas and her 4-year-old daughter's upcoming birthday.
Have you heard of Dry January? Basically, a lot of people choose not to drink for the month of January after indulging WAY too much during the holidays.
Where is the best place to vacation to actually rest?
Who says kids can only sit on Santa's lap during the holidays?
Our winner is Jade Krause! Jade is 20-years-old and her father is Airman 1st Class David Krause, currently deployed with the United States Air Force until June.
If you're looking for a job for the holidays or some extra money here is a great one. Great place to work and who knows it could lead to full-time work.
Wow this is surprising! The Irish holiday is not among the top 5 drunkest holidays, it's actually closer to the bottom.
As wonderful as the holidays are, they are also an extremely stressful time of year. There is so much to do and so little time to do it all that added pressure can put a strain on relationships.
The idea of being single or "alone" during the holidays might be a bummer to some people. But, it shouldn't be. There are plenty of reasons it's great to be single during the holidays.

SOUTHERN BY THE GRACE OF GOD: With a hat tip to Athens Area Chamber of Commerce President Doc Eldridge, who passed this link along Thursday, I'm offering it up as an explanation as to why those of us whose roots are deep in the South are so proud of that fact:
► COMING UP: On Saturday's Opinions page, Dick Yarbrough expresses some wonderment that Vidalia onions are going Hollywood. The front of Sunday's Insight & Ideas section includes some thoughts on time management from another of our regular columnists, Dink NeSmith.
In the Random Thoughts feature Sunday, someone wonders how Cedar Shoals High School students had the time and opportunity during the school day to file online comments to Wednesday's report on vandalism at the school. Sunday's section also will include a letter to the editor suggesting an alternative for moving forward with a sales tax-funded tennis center, and another letter asking the Athens-Clarke County Charter Overview Commission to review a charter provision regarding Athens-Ben Epps Airport.
► EXTRA CREDIT: In the near future, the editorial offerings of the Banner-Herald will be augmented with some additional opinion content on an online-only basis. Print-exclusive readers need not worry; none of the regular content of the print edition is being moved exclusively to the newspaper's website. The "extra credit" offerings likely will include deep looks at public policy issues, along with views from the extreme edges of the political spectrum.
► BIKE TO WORK DAY: The local observance of Bike To Work Day is set for next Friday, and I'll be spending part of this weekend tuning up my bike in preparation for my planned participation. About this time five years ago, I tried commuting by bike for two weeks, after taking flak for an editorial suggesting bike lanes were a waste of public dollars. If you'd like a recap of my experiences, check out my columns from April 24, May 1 and May 8, 2005, in the newspaper's online archives.

200. Are we seeing a reduction in the selectivity
by virtue of the bunching of 4s, 5s and 5*s?
(Margaret Hodge) Yes, so that is one of the issues
we need to address in the review of the RAE as a way of determining
201. I am concerned because there are several
aspects to what you said in response to David's question. We seem
to have a picture in which you would be perfectly happy to have
a university where there are not enough people who want to do
chemistry and physics and electronic engineering and so onthey
are not there any moreand where you have a great big faculty
of business studies and call that diverse university provision.
I worry about that, not least because so many of the things we
need to do as a society require people to have a degree of scientific
literacy which currently people are often quite desperate to avoid,
and I think it is one of the reasons why we have problems getting
nurses and so on. You need to know what chemistry is to have some
idea what you are doing when you are giving drugs and so on. To
say, "Oh, well, it is a regional involvement but there is
no national strategy"I think we need a national strategy
for science and we need to promote it. I am also worried when
you started saying that you can teach without doing research.
I think all the best teachers give decent lectures or classes
or whatever because they are at the forefront of their subject
and thinking about their subject and are passionately involved
with it, and communicate that passion and involvement with a sense
of excitement and breaking new frontiers to their students, so
I am very worried about that teaching and research divide. I hope
you think differently about research when you reflect on some
of those things, I will simply ask you to do that. You have also
identified wider participation, teaching and knowledge transfers
as your other priorities, can you think of a way in which, first
of all, you can devise a system of funding which actually registers
the fact that those are things you really ought to see developed
while, at the same time, giving the proper financial reward for
research? In particular, will you also accept that if we go down
the line of saying 3a departments, which might have struggled
over research exercise, a new university which starts at one,
gets a two and it now has a 3a, they are really beginning to get
nationally recognised levels of research and the teaching quality
is advancing in line with that and now we tell them they are going
to get nothing for all of their investment, energy and effort
in the difficult circumstances in which they are all trying to
do it. Can you find a way of giving us a sense that that fourfold
strategy will apply in all universities and that the four elements
really will be funded in a way which means that all universities
are real universities as opposed to some universities being, kind
of, second rate universities in which they are funded on a shoestring?
(Margaret Hodge) I have to say I think I start from
a completely different perspective on this, in that I think we
have been kidding ourselves that all universities are the same
anyway. A little bit of honesty about universities doing different
things now might be a healthy way of learning about the future
and a sensible way of how you can appropriately and properly fund
the things that universities do. I do not want all universities
to be the same, I do not think they have ever been the same. I
do not think any of you round the table really do think they are
the same. What we want to do is value and reward those things
that we think are important.
202. We always thought that a first in history
from Oxford was the same as a first in history from Oxford Brookes
in terms of quality.
(Margaret Hodge) Did you? Did you honestly think that?
203. I did. If it is not we should be honest
about that and tell people. I am an adviser at Oxford University,
as it happens, and they get their external examiners from Oxford
and they give them a brief to apply the same standards at Oxford
Brookes as they apply at Oxford University. That is not just an
item of theory, it is a practical way of demonstrating that commitment
to the highest quality at every university.
(Margaret Hodge) We do not have a system of national
standards and national examinations. I heard the Universities
UK representative saying to you there are something like 50,000
courses, and I thought, poor old students having to wade through
that lot to make a choice. Courses are independently set and although
they are externally monitored I think we are kidding ourselves
if we really do think or we have thought that every university
is the same, it does not mean they do not all do great and important
and good things and we should nurture and grow them. I really
do not think anybody really believes they are all the same. Therefore,
maybe we start from a different basis, from my basis what I want
to do is ensure that we provide all of those things that we talked
about; that we have a good research capacity throughout the United
Kingdom; that we promote the excellent research that we need to
compete internationally; that we grow a knowledge of transfer
role; that we start to foster this through the various funding
streams; that we widen participation; that we value teaching and
that we reward excellent teaching. Those are probably the key
things; some universities will do them all, some will do some
better than others and some will focus on some and do them extremely
well. I think I start from that perspective. What I am anxious
to do is to look at a funding mechanism which does reward all
of those functions but does not force universities to try and
be the same, which I think our funding mechanism has done to date.
That is the first thing. The second thing is, I do not want to
go back, I do not want to go to centrally planned places. There
is a real, real problem about engineering in particular. I do
not think the solution lies in growing or in maintaining the supply
of engineering places in universities, the solution lies in what
my colleagues in the DfES are doing through the school stage and
preschool stage in encouraging more young people to go into engineering
and other related subjects . Do not let us be too dismal, we are
doing jolly well internationally on it, hence citations. But I
do not want to go back to that. The HE sector is an odd place
because these are fiercely independent institutions who run their
own affairs, yet we have never let the market flow between the
institutions because we have had that control over places. HEFCE
advised us last week on something that we have been thinking about
as wellcoterminous viewsthat they are thinking of
lifting the control of student numbers as of 2002/2003. It will
be interesting. We will have to watch it and see what happens,
but I think it is quite a healthy way to foster student choice
actually, which is very important, and we have not talked about
that much this afternoon. I am not very attracted to the idea
of centrally planning places or to deal with deficits in engineering
or modern languages, let me take another area where there are
lots of departments closing just at a time when we want more British
people to learn European and other foreign languages. I do not
think you can plan the university sector from the centre, you
have to deal with it in other ways. Teaching and research are
interconnected, yes, traditionally so, but that is because we
have never valued and rewarded excellent teaching. Think, who
has been promoted in the universities that you have been associated
with simply on the grounds of their excellence in teaching? They
are few and far between. We just need to think again about whether
or not we cannot create different career structures, different
incentives which will start rewarding teaching and that might
change people's attitude. It does not mean they do not do some
research as well, it just might change that. That is to the benefit
of the customer in the system, which is the student, and, if we
are going get to the 50 per cent target, that is a huge growth,
it will be a change in the cohort and they will require much more
focussed teaching and supported teaching than we did probably
when we went to university. Can you devise a funding system which
meets all of our objectives? It is back to the question of we
have a number of priorities, I resisted prioritising them at this
stage. I still think that however much money we manage to achieve
out of the CSR we are going to have to do some of everything and
we will just have to see. The quantum will determine a lot, as,
indeed, it would in research, because all those decisions about
selectivity and relative strengths all become much easier if you
have a bit more money floating round the system. Again, those
sort of decisions will have to be taken when we actually have
the final determination on the next Spending Review. What we attempted
to do, and what I think, if I can say this at the end, is that
universities need a pat on their back for doing jolly well on
the RAE. I do not think it has been a reflection of a grade inflation
exercise, I think it has been a real improvement in the quality
of research. What we have attempted to do with the interim money
we put in is just keep the show on the road until we get the outcome
of the Spending Review. Then we will have to take tough decisions,
and we will take them.
204. Thank you ever so much, Minister, for sharing
almost an hour with us, it has been really good and very helpful
to our inquiry. No doubt we will probably see you in the chamber
when we debate the issue again.
(Margaret Hodge) Thank you very much indeed.
Chairman: Thank you.

The truth is we did not have much of a winter. Not that there weren't some frigid moments of below freezing temps. We had one light dusting and a couple of snow days with weather warnings that never materialized. And the wind did blow across the plains, as is pretty much always the case in Oklahoma.
What I did this Winter…
As I sit here reflecting, it seems my winter involved a lot of coffee and hot tea {though that's kind of my life, generally}. We enjoyed the Christmas holiday in South Texas with my parents. Seems like that was about to happen the last time I did one of these What I'm doing, reading, watching… posts.
Because I do bookkeeping for the nonprofit I work with, end-of-year and beginning-of-year tasks are a big chunk of my winter routine. And I was busy with preparations for a mission trip to Honduras in February/March.
Fortunately, I can do most of that in my pj's and cozy sweaters! And that coffee and hot tea is always on hand to keep me going. I hope your winter was all things cozy and warm. And now…
The links in this post DO NOT represent affiliate links. I provide them only for informational purposes.
What I read…
Water to Wine: Some of My Story, by Brian Zahnd. This book wrecked me – in a good way. The author's mid-life journey helped me sort through some of my own experiences in ministry and faith. And this book has pretty much revolutionized the way I pray!
Daughter of Twin Oaks, Sisters of the Confederacy, and The Long Way Home, by Lauraine Snelling. {A Secret Refuge 3-book series} This was my first time reading Snelling. While traveling, I finished the first book and was grateful I had access to wifi so I could immediately download the next in the series. It's a sign of good writing when just HAVE TO finish the series, right? And I did.
Seamless: Understanding the Bible as One Complete Story, by Angie Smith. Last week, I finished this Bible study. I have one word for you: Fantastic! And what an amazing study this would be for a new Christian or someone who struggles with understanding the Bible.
What I'm still reading…
Uninvited: Living Loved When You Feel Less Than, Left Out, and Lonely, by Lysa Tereurst. Actually, I am now doing the Bible Study of the same title. It's good, people, but it will take you some deep places. My best takeaway, so far: "I can choose to bring my emptiness or God's fullness into any situation I face."
The Divine Conspiracy: Rediscovering Our Hidden Life in God, by Dallas Willard. How I had not read this book before, I do not know. Willard is one of the greats of our generation on theology and the spiritual disciplines. It's a slow read, for me anyway, but rich and thought-provoking.
What was on my DVR…
Alaska: The Last Frontier In spite of the over-dramatized events and staged scenes, I still enjoy this show. It's all entertainment, right?
Victoria {Masterpiece Theater} But, let's talk serious television. If you did not watch the first season of Victoria on PBS, then I'm not sure we can still be friends. 🙁 It truly is a masterpiece. Cannot wait for season 2.
Mercy Street Have you seen this PBS Original Series? If you can stomach the graphic scenes of a Civil War make-shift hospital and the medical procedures of that period, you may become as obsessed as I am.
Fixer Upper Was excited to see this favorite return for its 4th season and have enjoyed the different approach to a few of the episodes {a.k.a. the makings of a bakery, etc.}. And I hear there's a spin off series premiering this week.
Some favorite pins as of late…
Salsa Verde Chicken This is one of my go-to recipes for an easy dinner. I recently fixed this in the slow cooker, along with my first try at homemade tortillas. It was a yummy meal.
Tracing the Bible's Storyline Through 66 Books Having just completed the Seamless study, I'm all about God's Story running throughout scripture. This is a good summation of the story.
Identity Crisis If you struggle with the labels others attempt to place on you, this is a really good read!

Freye Early Origins
Bavaria, where the name Frey came from humble beginnings but eventually gained a significant reputation for its contribution to the region's medieval society. The family later became more prominent as many branches of the family acquired distant estates which elevated in turn their social status.
Freye Spelling Variations
Freye Spelling Variations
In the medieval era, many different cultural groups lived in the German states. There are thus many regional variations of German surnames from that era. Westphalians spoke Low German, which is similar to modern Dutch. Many German names carry suffixes that identify where they came from. Others have phrases attached that identify something about the original bearer. Other variations in German names resulted from the fact that medieval scribes worked without the aid of any spelling rules. The spelling variations of the name Freye include Frey, Freye, Frei, Freie, Frie, Fraie, Vrey, Vreye, Vrei, Vreie and many more.

The Great Migration
The Great Migration
German settlers were among the most common to come to North America between the mid-17th and mid-20th centuries. Poverty and religious persecution drove many Bavarians to make this long trek. tenant farmers were also enticed by the prospect of owning land. From east to west, these German immigrants populated the United States, settling in Pennsylvania, Texas, New York, Illinois, and California. Ontario and the prairie provinces of Canada also provided homes to many. Early settlers bearing the Freye surname or a spelling variation of the name include:

Feather-flapping fun by one of the best-loved storytellers of our time.
A talking chicken! Josh knows it sounds ridiculous, but that's just what Semolina is. And she's not just a talking chicken . . . she's a spirited, sarcastic, sassytalking chicken. And with Josh's mom in the hospital about to give birth to his sister, Josh needs Semolina more than ever, even if she will only talk in front of him. But when Semolina tells him that a fox is sneaking into the hen house at night, can Josh get his dad to believe in Semolina before it's too late?
Chicken Feathers introduces one of children's literature's most original, endearing new characters to peck her way onto the page. In the tradition of Charlotte's Web, here is a book full of tender moments, sparkling humor, and classic black-and-white illustrations.
[A] gentle, folksy short novel of life on the farm . . . Semolina steals the show.


text: Ok, so I pre-ordered a Premium Wii U with Nintendo Land a few months ago at work. I was top of the list. And now work have told me we won't be getting many in, and if we only get a few they'll be selling it to a customer instead... I thought about it afterward and thought it's not really fair is it? I still pre-ordered like everyone else and therefore expect to get it on the day. Surely first come first serve on the list. I've been looking forward to it for over 1 years and I'm a massive Nintendo fan. I dunno, maybe all gaming stores do this with their employees. I understand it's not good to have all available stock pre-ordered and none to sell on the day, but that shouldn't be my problem?! Do you think it's fair?

I'm your huckleberry
An expression explained best by fellow designer grypesagon
Huckleberries smell good and taste sweet at first but become very bitter very fast.
The expression is basically saying:
"If you're looking for something, I can give you what you want, but in the end you won't like it."
It was also a line from the movie tombstone by the character Doc Holliday.

A123 Systems Inc. and the U.S. Department of Energy have agreed to extend the contract over a $249 million grant for a factory in Michigan, according to a U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission filing last Wednesday. A123 now has two more years or until December 2014 to fully take advantage of this grant from the administration of Obama to support advanced battery development and generate jobs in the U.S.
A123 spokesman Dan Borgasano said that it was given the grant in 2009 and had until the end of 2012 to fully make use of the grant. Borgasano added that with the extension, A123 can continue on its growth path in Michigan. A123 got a $127 million of the DOE grant at the end of 2011. What A123 had to do was to match at least a portion of the money that the U.S. government provided.
What usually happens is that the recipients of these grants get reimbursements for their expenses on approved projects. In the past few months, some setbacks have hurt A123's financial position and its stock dropped by over 40% so far this year.
Last Wednesday, there was an explosion at a General Motors research lab in suburban Detroit from a lithium ion prototype battery, injuring one employee. Sources told The Wall Street Journal that A123 Systems had built this battery. Batteries for GM's new all-electric Chevrolet Spark are expected to be made by A123.

Item description for Just Give Me Jesus by Anne Graham Lotz...Overview
How did the apostle John know that at the beginning of a new millennium, our lives would be so busy, our focus so divided, our bodies so tired, our minds so bombarded, our families so attacked, our relationships so strained, our churches so programmed...that we would be desparate for the simplicity, the purity, the feedom and the fulfillment of a life lived in Jesus'name? John probably didn't know, but God did. That's why He just gives us Jesus. Poignantly and passionately Anne Graham Lotz focuses the light of Christ's life on Earth so that its relevance burns true in your life today. Read this book, and see how the Father gives us Jesus to make God visible, change possible, happiness attainable, resources ample, suffering understandable, sin forgivable, and heaven available...to you.
