Buy it here: The Hate U Give
Genre: Young Adult Fiction
Every now and again, I read a book that reminds me why, exactly, I'm so obsessed with YA texts. Honestly though, until I got my hands on The Hate U Give (thanks, husband, for the perfect Christmas gift), it had been awhile. I was starting to view YA as a category for addressing werewolves and vampires and cliques and meaningless high school drama, with maybe one or two exceptions thrown in there. I honestly couldn't tell you the last YA book I read that really shook me to my core, that made me pause after every chapter to really digest, that left me still contemplating its scenes days later. A book that takes something complicated and "adult" and reformats it for young adults without losing its depth. This is one of those books. But to even call it that, to reduce it to a category with other texts, makes me feel like I'm not really doing it justice. Because to be frank, I've never read a book like this. The Hate U Give takes a topic that is so relevant, layered, and overwhelming and makes it digestible for a younger audience with the most vivid characters I've read in so long. They honestly could have come alive from the pages, and I wouldn't have been surprised.
The premise: Inspired by police shootings of black citizens in recent years, the text follows Starr Carter, who witnesses a police shooting in which a cop takes the life of her friend. The media claims that the cop saw a gun, felt threatened. Others say that this is only the most recent example of police brutality and racially charged murder at the hands of cops. Only Starr can testify to her friend's innocence. This is all complicated by Starr's background—her uncle, who functioned as a father figure in her early years, is a cop; the father of her half-brother is a drug lord; she attends a predominantly white, wealthy school in the suburbs but lives in a neighborhood known for gang violence and poverty (despite the beautiful, complex features, including its residents, which Thomas brings to life with her words). Speaking up publicly about what happened means risking her own life and those of her family and friends.
Even with so much plot, so much of the text takes up Starr's intricate inner monologue, where she reflects on the facets of her identity and grapples with how best to move forward from the shooting. I think that despite all of the text's other positive aspects, this is what really sealed the deal for me. Reading everything from Starr's perspective, I got to know her. She seemed as multilayered and deep as any real person. She exemplifies what a YA protagonist should be. Even with Thomas's effort to bring each and every character to life, Starr's first-person account, the opportunity to really know her, transformed the novel into something unique.
Verdict: Lit
I don't care if you aren't a fan of YA fiction. I don't care if you're not interested in reading about relevant social issues like BLM, police shootings, race relations, and the like (and if the latter is the case, perhaps do some self-reflection and think about why, exactly, you don't want to participate in these discussions and learn more about these issues). Read. This. Book. And Angie Thomas, thank you. I can't wait to see what you write next, but until then, I plan to regularly return to this text and revel in the conversations it invites for readers of all ages.

Six Republican presidential candidates will turn on their Southern charm as they take the debate stage in Greenville, South Carolina, on Saturday night.
The debate, hosted by CBS News and the Wall Street Journal, will be the first time the candidates have squared off since the New Hampshire primary.
Here are the five things to watch for Saturday night – and for the final week before the Palmetto State's GOP primary:
1. Which Trump Will Show Up?
Less than a week after a resounding win in New Hampshire, Donald Trump is exuding confidence (the latest polls show him with the lead in South Carolina), and he has been modulating his message – sometimes on the attack, sometimes staying positive.
His campaign, for example, pulled a negative ad attacking main rival, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, Wednesday.
"We have a country that we're proud of and we love and we're not going to lose," Trump recites in the positive spot.
On the campaign trail – and on social media – however, it's a different story.
If @TedCruz doesn't clean up his act, stop cheating, & doing negative ads, I have standing to sue him for not being a natural born citizen.— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 12, 2016
So, the first big question for Saturday night is: Which Trump will show up?
2. Marco Rubio Gets Gritty
On his way to South Carolina after his disappointing finish in New Hampshire, Marco Rubio told ABC News' Jonathan Karl that at last Saturday's debate, he elected not to attack his fellow Republicans and instead focus on President Barack Obama.
"In hindsight," Rubio admitted, "maybe that was a mistake."
To wit, Rubio has spent the last few days in the Palmetto State going on offense, shooting attacks in the direction of Trump, Cruz and Jeb Bush in particular.
He accused Bush of having "no foreign policy experience, period" and called Cruz someone who will "say or do anything to get elected."
Looks like Rubio won't be pulling his punches on debate night.
3. Kasich Courting South Carolina
Riding high from his surprise second place finish in New Hampshire, Ohio Gov. John Kasich is dealing with the reality that South Carolina voters don't know him as well because he spent so much time focused on the Granite State.
An NBC News-Wall Street Journal poll released Jan 28. shows Kasich with one percent of support from South Carolina voters.
As for his debate strategy tomorrow night, Kasich might take the approach of not attacking other candidates as he says he does on the campaign trail.
However, his campaign has been targeting Bush, calling the Florida governor out for negative ads he's been running.
"I'm not gonna be a pincushion or a marshmallow, but I'm also not gonna spend my time trying to trash over people," Kasich said earlier this week while introducing himself to Charleston, South Carolina, voters.
4. Keeping Up With the Bushes
Right before the New Hampshire primary, Jeb Bush received a boost when his mother, former First Lady Barbara Bush, joined him on the campaign trail. In order to win South Carolina, the Bush campaign is pulling out all the stops and that includes unveiling another secret weapon: George W. Bush.
The former president is scheduled to appear alongside his brother at an event in North Charleston on Monday.
Will George W.'s efforts help Jeb?
Matt Moore, chair of the South Carolina Republican Party, argues it "could."
"George W. Bush is well liked in South Carolina," Moore said Wednesday at an event hosted on Sidewire to discuss the upcoming primary. "Both George W. Bush and his father won huge primary victories here in 2000 and 1988, respectively."
5. Things Are Looking South for Carson
The former neurosurgeon just barely met the requirements to be on stage at tomorrow night's debate. An NBC News-Wall Street Journal poll released last month showed Ben Carson polling at eight percent in South Carolina.
Carson placed fourth in the Iowa caucuses but he slipped in New Hampshire, winning only about two percent of the vote.
One final question heading into the debate and the week ahead: Could tomorrow night could be Carson's last debate and could South Carolina be the end of the line for his campaign? Only time will tell.

I can't believe it's time for another EXPO antique and collectible show! It just seems like we finished our last one. Jimmy and I have been working hard to get things ready. There's a lot that has to happen before we get to the show. Some of the overflow from Jim's work cottage ends up in mine. Rubbermaid tubs everywhere!
Jimmy's cottage is the work cottage. He cleans, prices, repairs and then we stage everything on the shelves so that the set up at the show goes quickly. Early bird buyers are allowed in on the day we are setting up the booth, so we need to know what we're doing and we need to get the items out quickly.
It's hard but it is an extra selling day and serious buyers come on that Friday.
A sneak peak at the spring section. THis is my section and it's always so fun to choose the merchandise
and set it up.
Another look at some of the other sections. I didn't get any pictures of his man's section, which is what draws his return customers into the booth. They can spot our booth by the fly rods!
This is our more primitive sections with a lot of kitchen and wooden items. We call it our Tasha Tudor section.
After we display it all, Jim packs it up with table and shelf numbers so I can just unload it at the show. Items have to be packed carefully for transport.I have a teacup section too...here it is!
It is spring in Oregon! Everything is coming to life. It's been hard to work inside the cottages with the nice weather. I'd rather be outside working in my garden. Maybe next week after the show. My Rosemary looks good!
The roses are leafing out! I imagine we will have roses early this spring too. I do love roses.
The grass is growing! Duane has cut it twice already. It's just hard to believe.
My two plum trees are in full bloom. I love this picture, I just caught the light right and the blue sky just sets it off.
My chives are growing too. I expect little purple flowers soon.
Sunday afternoon, we just decided to take a break and we went to a flea market out of Salem. We were about half way to the Oregon coast, so we decided to drive on down. It was just such a pretty day.
The daffodils were blooming there too!
This was a little display on an old stove at an antique shop we stopped at along the way.
Of course, Jimmy wanted to have dinner at his favorite restaurant. It's not fancy but they shuck oysters there and Jimmy says they are the best! Not my thing but he does love them. Oysters on the half shell.
He also loves their oyster stew. You can pick how many oysters you want in your bowl. He picked a lot!
The Seafood Peddler is a yummy place if you like seafood. I always get the bay shrimp and crab salad. YUMMY! Anyway, it really was a nice drive and a nice break before another busy week,

At Fischer Health & Rehabilitation, we take great pride in providing a complete healthcare facility.
Chiropractic Care
We provide advanced spinal correction utilizing "state of the art" chiropractic techniques. Never in the history of chiropractic have we been able to provide the level of help and expertise that now exists. These newer correction methods are safe, more comfortable and more effective than ever before. Dr. David Fischer has years of training and experience in spinal adjusting.
Physical Therapy
To complement and enhance the healing effects of our specific Chiropractic manipulative treatment, Fischer Health & Rehabilitation has added a 200 square foot entire wing devoted to physical therapy. Our trained Physical Therapy staff can provide the following physiological therapeutic procedures:
Feet are your foundation-whether you are man, woman or child. Strong, well-functioning feet and ankles are essential for support and balance. Having incredibly dynamic feet is great until something with them goes wrong. The smallest imbalance in your feet shows up as larger problems up above-in your knees, hips, back, and/or neck. Thus, a misaligned foot leads to a misaligned hip and/or back and/or neck. Custom molded orthotics are often recommended to help relieve postural pain and misalignment where necessary. Dr. Fischer is able to custom fit patients with orthotics right here at Fischer Health & Rehabilitation during a routine office visit.
NCV and EMG Testing
NCV and EMG tests are used to detect the cause of muscle weakness, numbness, spasms, paralysis, or pain. The NCV and EMG tests can determine if the problem involves the nerves, muscles, spinal cord, or brain. NCV/EMG testing help in the diagnosis of:
- Pinched nerves and inflamed muscles due to injury, a ruptured disk, disease, or other radicular conditions.
- Carpal tunnel syndrome--pressure on the major nerve going into the hand causing pain and weakness of the wrist and hand.
- Primary muscle disorders such as muscular dystrophy (a disease causing certain muscles to waste away).
- Nerve disorders such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (Lou Gehrig's disease).
Personal Training & Corrective Exercises
Our personal trainers are available to motivate our clients by setting reasonable goals and providing feedback that will end with results. We will educate you in many other aspects of wellness besides exercise, including general health and nutrition guidelines. We teach our patients special "blueprint" exercises designed just for them to help strengthen and correct their own unique problem. These exercises can be performed in the comfort of your own home and can improve the effectiveness of your spinal correction by as much as 30-40%. In addition to skeletal misalignment, muscles and connective tissues can be out of place or strained by improper alignment and use. Specific exercises and stretches can help your body stay in balance and in health.
Therapeutic Massage
Massage Therapy can be a powerful ally in any healthcare regimen. In combination with Chiropractic care, massage is a great way to help our patients attain the highest level of wellness possible, by reducing one of the greatest factors in disease process--stress. Massage can be advantageous to health in many ways, including reducing spasms and cramping, increasing joint flexibility, promoting tissue regeneration, lessening depression and anxiety, increasing circulation and reducing fatigue, especially when using the fascia blaster. Come visit our talented Massage Therapist, Sophie, to see how massage can help you!
Acupuncture improves the body's functions and promotes the natural self-healing process by stimulating specific anatomic sites-- commonly referred to as acupuncture points, or acupoints. The most common method used to stimulate acupoints is the insertion of fine, sterile needles into the skin and both Michelle and Shu Min are fabulous at it!
Lifestyle Advice and Ergonomic Education
We often find it helpful to "coach" our patients on certain activities they should avoid or do differently to avoid aggravating their particular health challenge. Our goal is to help every patient achieve a fulfilling and happy lifestyle full of the activities they enjoy most. We recognize that each our patient is a whole person, and help them reach true health and wellness is a collaborate effort between our professionals and our patients.
Nutritional and Weight Loss Assessment
Learn the right way to lose weight and keep it off once and for all. We create individualized weight loss programs for your specific body type. Losing weight has never been easier or healthier. Check out our website for more details at NJ Club Reduce.
Spinal & Postural Screenings
Posture and spinal screenings can reveal important health information and unlock the door to improved health and well-being. We provide screenings at area malls, community events, health fairs and places of employment. Contact us today to arrange a screening at your event or workplace.

Oooh I'm so glad so many people responded well to the linen and the two colour design! I'm very excited about these new developments - it just feels "right", to me. I think i'm kind of obsessed with the natural texture of linen after Japan.
Now I just need to find the perfect linen! Something of a good medium weight, and a nice light natural colour, and available around 150cm wide! If anyone knows of a shop in Aus that's good for linen, I'd love to hear it.
Meanwhile, I found some more sources of Japanese goodness that I just have to share:
Lin-net - Just looking at their website makes me happy, it's just like a Japanese Craft Mag. I wish I'd been able to visit the shop. (thanks Kristen and Pei Pei)
Retromummy Shop - Japanese Craft books, fabric and trim, and based in Aus! :)
Spiralling Shop - Oh man, so much cute stuff here. Including Shinzi Katoh cafe mugs which I've totally fallen in love with. I managed to find one in Kyoto and it makes my morning tea time even more exciting than it already is. Is that weird? To find morning tea so exciting? I think it's my fav part of the day, esp if I have some good choc/bikkie/muffin to go with it.

Should you're a traveling audiophile who likes the thought of those bulky Bose noise-canceling headphones however just can't carry yourself to spend 300 bucks on something that looks so.. effectively.. nerdy, here is a phrase of advice: don't.
On the MD-90s I've flown, I exploit the aisle seat as a result of it is easier to slip the carrier in from the aisle. NEVERTHELESS, I've a mushy-sided bag that may contract a bit if the space is just too narrow. The middle seat usually has probably the most area in front of it. Don't get the window; it is typically curving inward and smaller than the other two. Coaches are rated for dwelling and traveling in various types of weather. It's best to decide on an all climate unit to ensure that it can hold up to temperature differences and be comfortable regardless of its location. Hold your eyes open for wild or loose animals; together with birds of prey comparable to owls, falcons and hawks. Cause-and-impact: One year olds love to push buttons and see what results from their action. So for this weblog entry, I will likely be posting the final exercise we did on the island – beaching and chilling out at Spilia Seaside.
The window of opportunity got here after I urged a go to to the flower farms after the corporate Christmas 'Eat-All-You-Can' lunch at Vikings They have given the rest of the afternoon free for the employees, so why don't we benefit from the free time as effectively and visit this flower farm? There was some change of wind, as a result of suddenly, everyone wished to go, haha.
Enjoy aggressive charges and complimentary advantages that provide an average whole worth of $550 at over 900 extraordinary properties worldwide while you book FINE MOTELS AND RESORTS. Phrases Apply.

Click on on the link to read all about this superb evening and the organization. Travelling is at all times an eye opener. Studying things from different culture is an effective self enriching course of.
The dogs dealt with all of it very effectively. Most of the time they were with us. As the days and evening went on, I did go away them alone just a little longer every time. We went out for dinner and lounged on the pool and spa. But the canines had been with us once we'd go for a stroll and all through the property. They'd additionally hop in the automobile when we'd exit sightseeing.

Embroidery Digitizing Software
Embroidery Magic 2 software is very easy to use to make lettering, it is also easy to learn to use the digitizing part of the program but to digitize a good design takes learning, skill and practice. An example of what I am saying is that - for a artist to paint a picture, all it takes is some canvas, paint and brushes (these supplies and tools are easy for anyone to use but it takes learning, practice and artistic skill to paint a beautiful picture. The EM 2 program is easy to use but to digitize a good design takes learning, practice and skill.
By the way, one of the best ways to actually learn how to digitize a good design (not the same as how to use the software program) is to watch a good design stitch out and see/learn why the digitizer does this and that as the design stitches - we have lots of good designs (learning tools) as you may have noticed or our web site.
Embroidery Magic 2 is a "free standing digitizing software program - ie - it works on it's own on your computer" and saves designs on/to your computer in the dst format - dst is a standard format that converts well to almost any format or can be used directly by most software that sends a design to an embroidery machine via a memory card, floppy disk or direct connect. Most any software or boxes that send a design to a card and can use the dst format will work. If the software that sends the designs to the machine can use dst then conversion is not required, otherwise the design or lettering must be converted to a right format for the machine so it can be sent to a card or machine. There is a very good conversion program available for free if you need it. Just email us for the link after purchasing the EM 2 software.
Sandy Carter is the author of embroidery articles at embroidery designs by Thread Artist. She has an article about embroidery software for digitizing and lettering fonts at embroidery software. There is free embroidery digitizing Tutorial at this web address - embroidery by Thread Artists

October 14, 2010
JIMICO ENTERPRISES, INC.; AND BROWNSON ENTERPRISES, INC., PLAINTIFFS,v.LEHIGH GAS CORPORATION, DEFENDANT.LEHIGH GAS CORPORATION, COUNTER-CLAIMANT,v.BROWNSON ENTERPRISES, INC.; AND PETER BROWNSON, COUNTER-DEFENDANTS.
The opinion of the court was delivered by: Hon. Glenn T. Suddaby, United States District Judge
MEMORANDUM-DECISION and ORDER
On September 14, 2010, the Court held an evidentiary hearing on damages in this action, filed by Jimico Enterprises, Inc. and Brownson Enterprises, Inc. ("Plaintiffs") against Lehigh Gas Corporation ("Defendant") pursuant to, inter alia, The Petroleum Marketing Practices Act ("PMPA"), 15 U.S.C. § 2805. At the hearing, documentary evidence was admitted,*fn1 and testimony was taken of Plaintiffs' five witnesses,*fn2 as well as Defendant's witness.*fn3 At the conclusion of the hearing, the Court indicated that a written decision would follow. This is that written decision. For the reasons stated below, Plaintiffs are awarded a total of $141,892.79 in compensatory damages, and a total of $30,000.00 in punitive damages, in this action.*fn4
Because this Decision and Order is intended primarily for the review of the parties, and because the parties have demonstrated an accurate understanding of the claims, facts and issues presented in this action, the Court will not, in this Decision and Order, describe in detail those claims, facts and issues. Rather, the Court will simply refer the parties to the relevant portions of that Decision and Order of July 27, 2010, which generally describes the claims, facts and issues remaining in this action, following the Court's decision on the parties' cross-motions for summary judgment. See generally Jimico Enter., Inc. v. Lehigh Gas Corp., 07-CV-0578, 2010 WL 2985962 (N.D.N.Y. July 27, 2010) (Suddaby, J.).
Again, because this Decision and Order is intended primarily for the review of the parties, and because the parties to this action have demonstrated (particularly, in their pre-hearing written submissions of September 13, 2010, and their oral arguments to the Court on September 14, 2010) a general understanding of the legal standards governing the damages hearing in this action, the Court will not, in this Decision and Order, describe in detail those legal standards. Rather, the Court will simply refer the parties to the relevant portions of their pre-hearing briefs. (See generally Dkt. Nos. 77, 78.)
The Court would add only two points. First, "the plaintiff[ has the] burden to put on proof from which the [factfinder] c[an] ascertain damages with reasonable certainty[.]" Portland 76 Auto/Truck Plaza, Inc. v. Union Oil Co. of California, 153 F.3d 938, 947 (9th Cir. 1998). Second, Defendant has argued that Plaintiffs are not entitled to any damages because (1) Section 2805 allows for the recovery of damages only based on a violation of Section 2802, 2803, or 2807, and (2) in the Court's Decision and Order of July 27, 2010, the Court determined that Defendant violated Section 2804 of the PMPA. As stated during the evidentiary hearing, the Court rejects this argument, given that the relevant portion of the PMPA--i.e., Section 2803, which governs trial franchiserelationships--provides that a franchisor must comply with the notice requirements of Section 2804, prior to non-renewal of the trial franchise relationship.*fn5
A. Compensatory Damages
1. Lost Income from Relevant 90-Day Periods
With regard to Plaintiffs' request for damages compensating them for their lost income, the Court finds that Plaintiffs are entitled to lost income of a total of $81,683: $62,560 in income that would have been earned by Plaintiff Jimico during the relevant 90-day periods at the Angola and Seneca Stations ($41,977 in income at the Angola Station, and $20,583 in income at the Seneca Station); and $19,123 in income that would have been earned by Plaintiff Brownson during the relevant 90-day period at the New Baltimore Station.
Generally, the Court bases this finding on the following, in part: (1) Hrg. Ex. PJ-1 (Operations Analysis of Angola Station for 2004); (2) Hrg. Ex. PJ-2 (Operations Analysis of Angola Station for 2005); (3) Hrg. Ex. PJ-5 (Supplemental Expert Witness Report of Jeffrey Bernard, dated Sept. 9, 2010); (4) the hearing testimony of Karl Herba, an accountant for Plaintiff Jimico; (5) the hearing testimony of Jeffrey Bernard, Plaintiff's expert witness; (6) the fact that Plaintiffs requested these precise amounts of lost income for the relevant 90-day periods, and the fact that defense counsel conceded, during the hearing, that Defendant did not have any objection to the calculations performed by Plaintiffs regarding that lost income.
The Court notes that Plaintiffs' calculations appear afflicted by a number of flaws, including the following: (1) the fact that, although the 90-day period regarding the Angola Station included four days from July 2006 and twenty-five days from October 2006, Plaintiffs' calculations regarded no days from July 2006, and all thirty-one days in October 2006; (2) the fact that, although the 90-day period regarding the Seneca Station consisted of April through June of 2007, Plaintiffs' calculations regarded no days from April 2007, and all thirty-one days in July; (3) the fact that, although Plaintiffs' expert relies on monthly financial data regarding the Seneca Station from 2006, Plaintiffs did not admit such data into evidence at the hearing; and (4) the fact that, although the 90-day period regarding the New Baltimore station regarded the months of February, March, April and May of 2007, Plaintiffs' calculations regarded the entirety of years of 2004, 2005 and 2006. However, the Court has carefully analyzed the underlying financial data that was made available to it, and has concluded that the financial data supports an award of lost income substantially the same as that requested by Plaintiffs and unopposed by Defendant.
Finally, the Court notes that Plaintiff appears to argue that a third-party franchisee may have earned higher profits on the New Baltimore Station than Plaintiff Brownson would have earned during the relevant 90-day period, because Defendant would have sold gas at a lower rate to a third-party franchisee who owned other gas station franchises with Defendant on the Thruway. However, the Court finds such a fact, even if presumed to be true, to be immaterial to the ...

I already did that. The drive works fine if plugged directly into the IDE chain, or when using the external enclosure with WindowsXP. It only gets flaky this way when using the external enclosure with CentOS. Hence I'm pretty sure it's something to do with the enclosure.

When Doctor Walter Benning (Matthew Boston) is killed in church, Detectives Lupo and Kevin Bernard arrive at the scene and are informed a white male was seen fleeing in a dark sedan. The minister (Michael Hollick) tells the detectives that Dr. Benning was a late-term abortion doctor and had been shot at before and threatened many times, and his wife, Phyllis Benning (Tracy Sallows), is convinced it is a pro-life zealot who is responsible. While the detectives scan the several protester suspects, Lt. Van Buren gets more bad news and ADA Rubirosa faces a moral dilemma, causing tension among the team.

Red Rose Trivia Trek
was a success
There is more to the story of CareNet and more people to thank than were listed in the March 25 article, "CareNet helping people every day."
I had the honor and priviledge to work with Dr. Malcolm Edwards, Dr. Jim Holt and Dr. John Story in 1991 to start CareNet.
Several years ago Lancaster City Council voted to implement a hospitality tax in the city of Lancaster. The hospitality tax is a 2 percent tax levied on all food, beverage and alcohol sales in bars, restaurants and other establishments in the city limits. The money is to be used to promote local tourism.
Although we may have seen the end of the cold weather, we cannot forget that many of our neighbors are still in need. As unemployment rates increase, the amount of need is increasing as well.
Soon the semester will be over and school will be out for the summer. This means an end to school breakfasts and lunches. Families with school-aged children are going to need help.
Agencies like HOPE and Christian Services have helped alleviate the need of many of our county's residents. We must not forget about agencies like these.
I wrote the letter, "Face it: We have a black president." Sonny Plyler and The Rev. Rex Faile wrote response letters. I waited to see if there would be more responses before I wrote a follow-up letter.
You can say what you want to say, but I'm going to speak up for my black president. And no, it is not a racist issue. You are making it out to be a racist issue. Obama has been in the chair right at three months and Plyler is talking about giving him an F. He deserves an F for foolishness.
Do you realize that Administrative Professionals Day, formerly known as Secretary's Day, is today?
It is the day set aside as an unofficial holiday observed on the Wednesday of the last full week of April to recognize the work of secretaries, administrative assistants, receptionists and other administrative support professionals.
This article is for the men and women who hold these positions and for the boss who doesn't know about this special day.
I read with great interest the article, "Students receive GEAR-UP scholarships." This program, according to the article, allows middle and high school students to earn as much as $2,000 toward college per semester until they graduate based on their grades, attendance, behavior and other factors.
I recently got a call from my son telling me of the death of a young man on Cunningham Street. My heart was floored as we spoke about one of the suspects who had asked him for a job in his concrete business just a few weeks ago. My son did not have any jobs as he is struggling himself to make ends meet and not getting hardly any work because of the economy.
Then I started thinking about the shooting on Gregory Street several months ago. The young man charged in that shooting had begged me day after day restoring one of my houses on 16th Street.

If you are thinking about paver stone installation to add or replace a walkway or a driveway to enhance the appearance of your outdoor living spaces, there are chances that you are confused by the number of choices you are supposed to make. There are paving stone installation materials that are more affordable than others while others may be more durable and easier to maintain. Today, most people use concrete slabs and paving stones with every one of them having different advantages that will be determined by your needs.
Homeowners that use concrete slabs on their outdoor living spaces mainly do so because of cost considerations and their relative ease of installation; with stamped concrete homeowners can choose several options as far as design and textures are concerned. Paver stone contractors, on the other hand, use brick pavers that are individual sections that have been made from materials such as brick, concrete, and natural stone; most of these pieces interlock making up a flexible system that can be quite durable. For those that are concerned about the issue of costs, the standard concrete slab may be slightly cheaper than the paver blocks; you are actually likely to pay at least 10 to 15 percent cheaper. Even though the concrete slab is cheaper initially, with paver stone installation you will not get worried about costly repairs and replacements.
When it comes to matters of installation, it may be much easier to install concrete slabs but the material will take much longer to cure and dry; the installation process will require excavation, grading, preparing the foundation, setting up the forms and finally pouring the concrete. Many masonry contractors normally have a minimum order that is usually required and, as a result, there are people that end up for paying for more concrete than they really require. The greatest undoing of pouring concrete is the problem of cracking every time the ground below it flexes for one reason or another. The masonry contractor must also do a very good job with the grading because failure to do that will lead to a very expensive mistake that cannot be easily rectified after the concrete has been poured.
There are many advantages of paving stone installation as well; initially, paver stone installation requires a more thorough preparation which can also be quite labor-intensive. The paving stone contractor must do excavation, grading, compaction of the sub-base, installation of the geotextile fiber, base preparation and compaction, preparation of the sand, paver stone installation, cutting off the borders, preparation of the bond beam and compaction of the stones and last but not least sealing the pavers as the last task.
With paving stone installation there is no curing time and, as a result, the paver stones will be ready for use as soon as the paving stone contractor leaves the site. Also, even if there was a mistake at the time of grading and some settling happens later down the line, nothing to worry about because all that you need to do is to correct the issue by removing the paving stones by removing, regarding and replacing the stones.

Today was the big Defending Of The Thesis day and all in all, it went ok. By that I mean that I almost sounded like I had control of my voice and somehow managed to respond to a question that took a lit professor TWENTY-FIVE minutes to ask. I'm not saying that I had a good answer, I'm just saying that a few syllables came out of my mouth and I did not drool in response, which is sort of what my brain wanted me to do. I also did not stand up and give him the finger, which is another suggestion that my brain came up with. I'm pretty proud of that.
After that ordeal was over, I headed over to the old English-teaching homestead to meet with my boss and to ask him if he would not only take me back as a teacher next year, but also convince him to let me go home for 6 weeks this summer. This has kind of a been a key concern of mine, you know, the whole earning something in a post-M.A. life. Luckily for me, he was happy to ask me back and told me to take 8 weeks vacation instead of 6! How French is that!?! So now I'll be home for two whole months, 8 glorious weeks of eating watermelon and cooking on the grill and playing with the cats and doing the lists of chores my Dad writes for me to keep me in shape for society.
On second thought...

Alex Stone, Oregon State University
Farmers: Carl Rosato and Helen Atthowe
Location: Oroville, in the Sierra foothills of northern California (Fig. 1: Area Map)
Crops: Peaches (4.5 acres), pears (1.5 acres), apples (1 acre), cherries (0.5 acre), plums and pluots (0.25 acre), vegetables and kiwis (0.5 acre)
Woodleaf Farm is known in northern California for its large, unblemished, juicy, and flavorful organic peaches (CUESA). In 2013, the marketable peach crop was 79% premium grade. In 2014, 86% and in 2015, 81% of fruit was sold as premium fruit.
Markets: Regional farmers markets (7 per week) and 10% wholesale to restaurants
Years in organic management: 1982 (certified by CCOF) to present
Total farm acreage: 26 acres
Cropped acreage: 8 acres
Landscape design: Seven 1- to 1.5-acre fields with native oak/pine forest on 90% of field margins (Fig. 2: Farm Fields & Soils Map)
Regional agricultural production: Butte County is a significant producer of tree fruits and nuts. Its 2010 gross agricultural production exceeded $620 million, including $9.7 million from peach production.
Climate and soils: Mediterranean (wet winters, temperatures to 20°F; dry summers, temperatures to 100°F). Annual precipitation is 35 inches. Soils are classified as capability class VII by the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service and rated as "poor" for agricultural use (Fig. 2: Farm fields & soils map)
Awards: EcoFarm Steward of Sustainable Agriculture Award, 2012.
Woodleaf Farm's focus is on supporting ecological relationships rather than on managing specific crops, problems, or pests. Carl believes that "leaving the soil as undisturbed as possible, annual additions of different kinds of high-carbon organic materials, and soil mineral balancing grows a healthy tree and keeps insect and disease problems in check."
Carl also focuses on habitat-building, saying,"Native forest on field margins and letting the perennial living mulch go to flower brings beneficial biological control organisms into crop fields and has been helpful in keeping insect damage in check over time."
Woodleaf's goals are to optimize soil organic matter, link soil organic matter decomposition to nutrient mineralization, support a diverse soil microbial community, and balance soil minerals. The soil management system (Soil Table 1) includes:
Soil health indicators generally show positive trends (Soil Table 2). Between 1982 and 2014, average soil organic matter increased from 2.2% to 5.1%. The high carbon/low nitrogen nutrient cycling/recycling system results in 10 to 20 inches of annual tree growth; good yields of high-quality, flavorful fruit; high levels of soil organic nitrogen; relatively low levels of soil nitrate-nitrogen; and peach leaf nitrogen in the adequate range.
Macronutrients have increased and are generally balanced at target levels, but some micronutrients (particularly boron) have not increased and are below targets.
Read more about the soil management system at Woodleaf Farm here.
Woodleaf's goal is to build and manage habitat for biological control organisms (e.g., insect predators and parasites, birds, bats, soil and foliar microorganisms). Pests are sprayed only when absolutely necessary. The insect pest management system includes both farm-wide practices (Insect Table 1) and pest-specific strategies (Insect Table 2).
Fruit yield and quality losses to insects have mostly decreased over 30 years, according to Carl. This observation is supported by reduced insecticide use (Insect Fig. 1). Records document less than 10% average fruit damage (Insect Table 3 and Insect Table 4) and high predator/parasite populations (Insect Figs. 2A and 2B, and Figs. 3A and 3B).
Spotted wing drosophila (SWD) remains a challenge at Woodleaf and is not suppressed by the insect pest management system. When unsprayed in 2014, 30% of cherries were damaged by SWD.
Read more about the insect management system at Woodleaf Farm here.
Woodleaf's goal is to prevent disease infection by managing for balanced tree growth and healthy soil, while utilizing good cultural practices. The disease management system includes both farm-wide practices (Disease Table 1) and disease-specific strategies (Disease Table 4).
Fruit yield and quality losses to diseases have declined over time, especially losses to peach brown rot and apple scab, according to Carl. This observation is supported by crop yield and quality monitoring records (2013–2015). Pear fireblight, peach brown rot, and peach leaf curl remain management challenges. Fireblight and peach leaf curl do not appear to be suppressed by Woodleaf's farm design and soil/habitat-building practices. Brown rot may be suppressed, however, since it now occurs at a relatively low level.

Police believe 829 people were "likely" victims of phone-hacking by newspapers, the Leveson Inquiry has heard.
Deputy Assistant Commissioner Sue Akers confirmed to the inquiry that 581 of those had been contacted.
However, 231 could not be identified, and 17 had not been told due to "operational reasons".
She is overseeing three investigations involving claims of newspaper hacking. Ninety police staff are involved in Operation Weeting.
So far, 17 people have been arrested, with two released without any action, and the remaining 15 due to answer bail in March, Ms Akers said.
The "likely" victims are those whose names and other details appear in documents belonging to the former private detective employed by the News of the World, Glenn Mulcaire, who was jailed in January 2007 for phone hacking.
Ms Akers said the number of people who had written to police asking if they were hacked was 2,900. Of those, 1,578 actually appeared in Mulcaire's 11,000 pages of notes.
She confirmed to Robert Jay QC that there were 6,349 potential victims - identifiable names of people in information held by Operation Weeting.
The number of those names with phone numbers was 4,375.
Operation Weeting is into allegations of hacking by News of the World into private voicemails, Operation Elveden is looking at allegations of journalists from News International (owner of the now-defunct News of the World) made "inappropriate" payments to police, and Operation Tuleta is investigating computer hacking.
Sun newspaper investigated
There are 40 police offiers and staff are working on Operation Elveden, but the team is due to expand to 60 as the inquiry has widened to include the Sun newspaper, Ms Akers said.
She said that Operation Tuleta had smaller resources than the other two, with about 20 officers, she said.
It was looking at 57 separate allegations of data intrusion, including some which date back to 1980s. There was 4TB of electronic data to examine.
Her appearance comes during the first part of the Leveson Inquiry, sitting at the Royal Courts of Justice in London, looking at the culture, practices and ethics of the press in general.
The second part, examining the extent of unlawful activities by journalists, will not begin until detectives have completed their investigation into alleged phone-hacking and corrupt payments to police, and any prosecutions have been concluded.
Ms Akers also confirmed details about Operation Kalmyk, a sub-inquiry of Tuleta, which is looking into illegal accessing of computers belonging to others for financial gain.
Celebrity stories
She said one person had been arrested under Operation Culmic and was on bail until March.
Dan Wootton, former News of the World showbusiness editor, told the inquiry that when he started at the paper in 2007 he was given a pocket-sized copy of the Press Complaints Commission guidelines, which he said he carried with him "at all times".
He said stories about celebrities were nearly always checked with the person involved, or their agent, before publication.
He said none of his stories were gathered using subterfuge, with about half of them coming from celebrities themselves. He could only recall one occasion where senior staff told him not to confirm the facts with the celebrity.
He said when it came to public interest, celebrity stories were discussed on a case-by-case basis.
Wootton says he would not write about actor Hugh Grant, for example, because "he didn't seem to enjoy being a celebrity".
'Right to privacy'
He said it was "naive" to say you can be a Hollywood celebrity and then complain about press attention.
He said "all celebrities have a right to privacy", for such issues as sexuality, pregnancy, health issues and details involving their children.
Sunday Mirror reporter Nick Owens told the inquiry about his undercover work for stories involving traffic wardens and a turkey farm, saying they were in the public interest.
He agreed with Lord Justice Leveson that he had been "economical with the truth" when it came to applying for the jobs in order to write the stories.
In March 2009, Owens was filmed by film-maker Chris Atkins in an undercover sting apparently suggesting the Sunday Mirror would pay for celebrities' medical information.
He said it was an informal meeting to find out if Atkins had any information about celebrities, and that no information was published as a result of it.
Editor-in-chief of Associated Newspapers Paul Dacre, publisher of the Daily Mail, will also give evidence.
Mr Dacre has previously said that self-regulation overseen by the Press Complaints Commission should continue.
He is expected to be questioned about the use of private detective Steve Whittamore who was convicted of illegally accessing data in April 2005.
Socialite Jemima Khan will also give evidence about press intrusion into her personal life.
Her written statement comes after actor Hugh Grant told Lord Justice Leveson that a story about their relationship was likely to have come from illicit eavesdropping.
