from Susan Shields Sasek's research page
James Alexander, the son of Joseph Alexander, was born in 1695 in Cecil County, Maryland and died there. This is verified by his will which was filed at Elkton, Maryland on March 9th, 1726. He married Margaret McKnitt in 1714. She was born December 26th, 1693 and died between 1736 and 1745. For his second wife, he married Abigail (McKnitt?).
James Alexander inherited land from his father and cultivated it, selling his produce in Philadelphia to the Pennsylvania Colony. He was also a tanner by trade. To each of his sons he gave an opportunity to learn a lucrative trade, as well as learning the cultivation of the land.
James Alexander purchased land, as an investment, from agents in the North Carolina Colony. He was chosen an elder in the New Munster Presbyterian Church and tradition records that he was a prominent layman.

He married Catherine Wallis, the daughter of Reverend Wallis of New Munster. She is buried at Sugar Creek Graveyard in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina. She died in 1775. The children of Theophilius Alexander and Catherine Wallis will be found on Page II of "The Alexanders of Mecklenburg County". Catherine Wallis Alexander, following the death of her husband, migrated with her children to the North Carolina Colony with her brothers in 1754.
Edith Alexander, the daughter of James Alexander and Margaret McKnitt, was born January 10th, 1718 in New Munster, Maryland Colony. Other than her name and the record of her bequest in her father's will, no other information is available.
Kezia Alexander, the daughter of James Alexander and Margaret McKnitt, was born May 9th, 1720 at New Munster, Cecil County, Maryland. Other than mention of her and the bequest in her father's will, no other information is available.
Amos Alexander, the son of James Alexander and Margaret McKnitt, was born January 13th, 1729 and died in 1780. He married Sarah Sharpe, born in 1732 and died in 1802. Refer to Page III and IV of "The Alexander [sic] of Mecklenburg County" for their children and descendants.
Ezekial Alexander, the son of James Alexander and Margaret McKnitt, was born June 17th 1725. He died young.
Jemima Alexander, the daughter of James Alexander and Margaret McKnitt, was born February 10th, 1716. She died young.
Hezekiah Alexander, the son of James Alexander and Margaret McKnitt, was born January 13th, 1722 in Cecil County, Maryland Colony. He died January 10th, 1801 in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina. He married Mary Sample, she was born in 1735 in Cecil County, Maryland and died May 17th, 1806. They are buried in Sugar Creek graveyard in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina.
Hezekiah Alexander migrated with his brother John McKnitt Alexander and his sister Jemima, the widow of Major Thomas Sharpe and her six children in 1754 to North Carolina Colony.
History records the name of Hezekiah Alexander as an administrator and councilor. He held the post as Magistrate from the first appointed one in the county and historians have said "He was one of the most clear headed Magistrates in the County before the Revolutionary War and following the Declaration of Independence was named one of the members of the State Councul [sic] of Safety. His most important contribution to Mecklenburg County was his participation in the Declaration Convention and his signing of that immortal document, The Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence.
During the Revolutionary War, he was paymaster of Col. Thomas Polk's regiment. Hezekiah Alexander's first purchased [sic] of land was recorded in May of 1765. He later purchased land in April of 1767 from Lord Selwyn on Alexander's Creek. He purchased 400 acres on the Broad River, now Gaston County from William Minter.
His home was two stories high and built of stone with a full basement where Mary Alexander stored food for her family of eleven children. The story is told how English soldiers raided her basement one day and what food they could not carry they destroyed. It was necessary at times for her to hide her sons in the weeds to prevent them from being kidnapped and held as hostages by the British Soldiers.
[Page] IV
One of the unusual proofs of Hezekiah's love of religious freedom was a carving of a fish on his house, the secret symbol, which Presbyterians used in Scotland and Ireland to signify allegiance to the Presbyterian faith.
From the day when maurading [sic] Indians, killed the settlers; to the day when Tory neighbors informed the enemy where supplies could be obtained by foraging; to the days when the British Soldiers burned homes and confiscated personal belongings, Hezekiah Alexander remained calm and led the people of his community toward a just peace.
This home has been restored by the Daughters of the American Revolution, as a shrine to the brave men who fought from Mecklenburg County and who signed the Mecklenburg Independence.
He was an elder in the Sugar Creek Presbyterian Church from its organization until his death. Hezekiah Alexander's will was probated in Mecklenburg County in which he provided for his children and grandchildren. The children and descendants will be found on page III of "The Alexander [sic] of Mecklenburg County".
Margaret Alexander, the daughter of James Alexander and Margaret McKnitt, was born in June of 1736. She died young.
Jemima Alexander, the daughter of James Alexander and Margaret McKnitt, was born January 9th, 1727 in Cecil County, Maryland Colony. She died September 1st, 1797. She married Major John Sharpe, born in 1727 and died in 1759.
Jemima Alexander and her husband migrated to the North Carolina Colony and are buried in Sugar Creek Cemetary [sic] graveyard in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina. Their children and descendants are on Page 111 of "The Alexander's of Mecklenburg County".
Abigail Alexander, the daughter of James Alexamder [sic] and Abigail, was born May 24th, 1748 and died September 23rd, 1817. She married Frances Bradley who died November 14th, 1780. The children and descendants of Abigail Alexander and Francis Bradley will be found on Pge IV of "The Alexander [sic] of Mecklenburg County".
Francis Bradley, it has been recorded, was one of the largest and stoutest men in the county. He was hated by the Tories and was much desired as a prisoner by the British officers for his activity and energy with which he harassed [sic] their scouts and foraging parties, and the fatal aim of his gun in taking off their sentries.
On the day of his death, seeing four Tories lurking near his house, he took his gun and went to capture them or drive them from the neighborhood. A scuffle ensued in which one of the Tories succeeded in wresting his gun from his hand and killed him.
In the graveyard of Hopewell Church in Mecklenburg County, is found the following inscription: Under two sculptured drawn swords the motto "Arms Libertatis" in memory of Francis Bradley, a friend of his country and privately slain by his enemies of his country.
Elizabeth Alexander, the daughter of James Alexander and Abigail, was born November 17th, 1746 and died August 1st, 1822. She married William Sample, born in 1736 and died in September, 1791, age 55 years. The children and their decendants [sic] of Elizabeth Alexander and William Sample, will be found on Page V of "The Alexander's in [sic] Mecklenburg County".
Margaret Alexander, the daughter of James Alexander and Abigail, was born March 30th, 1750. She married James McCoy and migrated from Pennsylvania in 1700.

Martin Starr
Born Martin Schienle, Martin Starr (his stage name) began life in Southern California and grew up as the son of an elementary school guidance counselor father and a mother employed as the head of In the Act Productions, a company built around producing networking workshops for aspiring actors. With that familial background, Starr came to show business naturally and began doing commercials from the age of six. The upstart moved to southwest Florida during high school with his dad and stepmom, but remained connected to show business thanks to his mom. He scored his first major career coup in his late teens at the hands of executive producer Judd Apatow, whose short-lived but critically acclaimed seriocomedy Freaks and Geeks reeled in a devoted cult following when it turned up on NBC in the fall of 1999; Starr played Bill Haverchuck, a distinctly geeky but not-so-bright social misfit attending a Michigan high school in 1980. Subsequent years witnessed Starr moving into features and maintaining a multi-film series of collaborations with Apatow and company, including the sex comedies Knocked Up and Superbad (both 2007), and the bitter, acerbic romantic comedy Good Dick (2007) opposite Marianna Palka, Jason Ritter, and Tom Arnold.

As a statistician who worked on some of the glacial Varve datasets, I have to state that the way that the results are reported has nothing to do with the calculations we did.
Carbon from human sources is less than 2% of the global emissions.
Most critically, 83% (+/-4% at a 95% CI) of the model is attributable to water (H2O) vapor. At present, we can not model water vapor. The result is that the models are highly non-robust.
The real issue lies with water. Deforestation is impacting rainfall patterns, but we can not as yet quantify the effect. The carbon issue is drowning the issues that actually occur in a quasi-religious and definitely non-scientific paradigm. The problem is that this is actually damaging things more as we are failing to focus on the actual issue.
Add to this the filing of several solutions to the entire GW issue, and we start to see that it is really not about the climate at all. IV (Intellectual Ventures) have a number of patients for technological solutions to green house warming. A few other firms have also filed similar solutions. These solutions will require a capital investment of around $250 million dollars to have an adequate effect. Compare this with the $300 million costs associated with Al Gore in his efforts to gain himself a Nobel prize - for NOT doing anything!
Then again, we can model little of interest at present. So we SHOULD wait. We do have solutions, but we do NOT want to implement them when we have NO IDEA of what is really occurring in the world's weather. For instance, in 1974 Time reported on the coming ICE Age.
If we had responded at that time, we would have covered the poles with coal soot (the leading solution of the age) to increase the earth's temperature.
When are we going to wake up and start treating the issues as more than a religious debate?

It would seem to have an effect on the weather. There is a fair Pearson correlation value for this with statistical significance. The power of all of these results is low and the models are also not robust at present. This could be due in part to a lack of data. The data has been collected for far shorter than that in other areas of climate study.
How this relates to temperature is still conjecture. It does have an input, but we cannot determine what level of input or use this as a predictive as yet.
I think that it is one of many variables that need to be tested. The issue is that the effect that does appear is heteroscedastic and lagged. It also does not correlate directly with average or mean temp. values. Instead, it correlates to distinction regional weather patterns.
I have seen some good preliminary work with Henon maps and chaos, but personally I think that the effect will be fluid dynamical and will take a good many years of analysis. At present, there are no robust models that are both parsimonious and powerful for the input datasets, let alone robust.

Posted January 27, 2010 to Digital, Media Appearances
Salon Magazine's Laura Miller wrote a critical article on book trailers, and included quotes from me about whether they work. Never coming to a screen near you looks at the idea that trailers, or movies about books, don't sell books to consumers.
She and I had a lengthy email conversation about book trailers – I'm convinced that unless there's a unique hook or angle to the trailer itself, book trailers that are only about the book itself are only interesting to other authors (who are told they Must Have One). (Note: you do not have to have a book trailer.)
From that conversation, Miller quoted me talking about live action trailers featuring actors who were singularly unattractive to me:
Mind-blowing science fiction about nanotechnology or interplanetary travel is pretty hard to reproduce on your Flip HD, and affordable actors seldom measure up to the gorgeous heroines and heroes of romance. As Sarah Wendell, a co-founder of the Web site Smart Bitches, Trashy Books and coauthor of "Beyond Heaving Bosoms: The Smart Bitches' Guide to Romance Novels," told me in an e-mail, "as a reader and shopper for genre fiction, I've never been swayed to make a book purchase based on a trailer … A few have featured actors so unattractive to me I was totally turned off."
There have been some great book trailers in romance – many of which created by the authors themselves on a minuscule budget. But most of them leave me uninterested, and I have never purchased a book because the trailer was amazing. They may lead me to look up an author whose trailer is creative and witty, but they've never made me think, 'I MUST have that book.'

A fire broke out late Tuesday at the Trus Joist plant in Hazard.
The fire started around 10:30 Tuesday Night at Trus Joist in Perry County.
Firefighters say Thermal oil in one of the tanks caught fire.
Firefighters had to use foam to put out the flames.
They say they had the fire out about an hour after it started.
No one was hurt in the fire and officials say they still don't know what caused the oil to catch fire.
The plant has been in the news recently due to layoffs at the facility.

How to Profess & Feel Real Intimacy.
"Watching you has me feeling nervous and excited in a way that I haven't felt in a long time."
"When I am with you I get butterflies in my stomach, and I never normally have these."
"When you touched me I felt tingles run along my arms and legs."
"Being with you, I feel like a teenager again."
"Seeing you smile warms me up from the inside out."
"The way you listen to me, I feel like you have lived exactly the same life as I have."
The above sentences are ones that I have said or had said to me and they are so memorable because of the connection they created between me and the person I was with. For that moment, and the ones that followed, the outside world dropped away and there was just us: the last two humans in existence.
There is a simple practice that I have learnt as sharing impact. The concept is straightforward, yet there is a subtle component we must cultivate awareness of.
Generally women are a lot better at this than men because of how tuned in most women are to their internal world of feelings; from my experience, it is enough just to model this in my own behavior for a woman to begin communicating back to me in the same way.
We can also be taught. So don't worry men, we may just need to understand the why first in order to develop more felt-perception in our bodies, then have it broken down into logical steps.
Because it feels amazing for both people involved as it creates a connection between two (or more) people that is tangibly felt by all. It may lead to laughter, tears, turn-on—sometimes all three at once!
Regardless, more will be felt and I can guarantee that bringing this kind of attention to another will make us stand out from the crowd. Most beautifully, it tells the other person (or people) that their very being has an effect on us here and now—in this life. Because what an amazing gift it is to let another know that their existence, and the way they are with us, makes us feel a certain way.
They get to know real-time just how deeply they touch us, and we get to share real-time just how much we appreciate them for it.
The name of the game here is awareness.
We need to cultivate an awareness of self at all times. Feel our own body, hear our own thoughts, monitor our own emotional state; become intimate with what it is like to be us, with who we are, moment-to-moment—when alone, with family, with friends, with a lover, on a first date.
The more aware we are of the flavors of our own experience, the more capable we are to notice when they change and when something new blossoms within us.
When we are with another and we notice there is some kind of change inside us—that being with them, and something they said, is having an impact on us—we can take a moment to feel it fully within our body, gathering it into words, and then we share it.
It doesn't matter if it isn't pure poetry, and we stammer or stumble a little in the telling. The words are less relevant than the simple act of sharing that this person's essence has reached in and moved us. And if we notice ourselves feeling shy, awkward, or vulnerable in the telling—then even better! Speak that too.
"The way you are looking at me is making my heart beat faster, and now that I am telling you I can feel my face getting really hot, and it's like I want to cry, sing, shout and laugh all at the same time."
Who doesn't want to hear something like that?

Great read! I think men do have these words in their minds but, I guess, they are a little shy to express them while women can express well.
This would be such a beautiful thing to experience. Real, honest vulnerability. Sigh.
Thanks Naheed.
Alicia this is a great thing to experience and also give too. When I share with another the impact they are having on me I feel wonderful and connected also. We can begin practicing and sharing with anyone, anytime and often by our sharing others will feel the safety and example to follow suit.

Using Tapes with Symantec Backup Exec 2010 r3 - Tutorial
Hi All,
I need a tutorial that explain the basic concepts of using tape with Symantec BE 2010 R3.
e.g I want to know if i use a tape that already has data on it, will that tape be overwritten.
I have a stand alone tape drive connected on the Dell MAchine T610. it can accomodate only 1 tape at a time.
Comments 7 Comments • Jump to latest comment
...if you want to transfer all your settings from media server 1 to media server 2, then read the TN below...this means all settings are carried across, and no need to catalog every single tape you want to add into the new server's BEDB:
Alternative ways to access Backup Exec Technical Support:
No, if you put the tapes into the library and they haven't been catalogged, or manually moved to a media set with OPP of 4 weeks, they are treated as scratch and will be overwritten as soon as they are required.
So you'd have to manually add them to an equivalent media set.

I know GNOME and KDE both do have that, plus lspci and dmesg can tell you most of that same info. I am not at my linux terminal, but I can post the specific names later.
If I run the program, it can list ALL of the hardware that's currently on the system including CPU type, memory and stuff? LSPCI would be a command line of what could be part of that program but I'm looking for GUI based?
For example, in Windows, if I run "System Information", it will list what it's on the computer, what is installed such as type of NIC card and stuff without needing to open up the box.
I want to buy an old Linux notebook but I just can't take whatever the seller says it's plus I can't take the notebook all apart there to check anyway. So what if I could run a program and it will display what's all there?
I think I remember something when I was playing with KDE but I can't really recall the name or even if it's I'm not sure I've seen is what really what I'm having in mind right now.
Any ideas?

Well, anyway, I bought the Toshiba Tecra 8100 laptop which according to Toshiba site, have at least P III 600. Slap in another 128 MB RAM and its original 6 GB drive, it should be a decent machine to work with. The only thing is it has (Cough!) RH 7.0 (Cough!) on it and I'm gonna load SuSE on it which recently Novell sent me to see how that thing goes. I hear SuSE is good with laptops.
Gosh, my lappy is loaded with SuSE 9.0 Enterprise Linux Server. YaST hasn't disappoint me (yet!) and SuSE had doen a good job of making things easier (while dumping down some stuff, I mean after all it's Enterprise distro after all why treat them like a brand new techie?) but it's good.

Ways to Support a Bride
How to Keep Your Friend From Becoming a Bridezilla
Like us on Facebook
- Lend an understanding ear. Your friend may just need to vent a bit, and although the color of the napkin rings may seem unimportant to you, it's the buildup of all those little details that's likely to put her over the edge. Plus, even if she's talking about the napkin rings, chances are it's not actually about the napkin rings, so be a patient listener and help her through whatever's really bothering her.
- Keep her company. If she feels like she's planning her wedding alone, your friend might get sad or frustrated. Offer to take on a small project, like finding the perfect candle votives. Is she not the delegating type? In that case, volunteer to accompany her on some of the errands. Your presence may be enough to calm her down.
Read on for more tips to keep her calm.
- Practice both positivity and tough love. The best thing you can do for any bride-to-be is to remain optimistic. A cheerful, enthusiastic attitude can do wonders for a stressed-out bride, so try to be her shining light. Can't seem to soothe her negativity? Know when to step in with some tough love and provide some perspective — does she really need to cry over choosing a cursive font?
- Offer your own ideas. Decision-making can become exhausting after a while, so if she asks for your opinion, give it to her. Most people are probably tiptoeing around definitive answers, but she may need help steering out of the gray area. Try creating a Pinterest board of ideas that the bridesmaids can all contribute to or ask the group to use a hashtag and tweet snaps of inspiration to the bride.
- Help her relax. When in doubt, bring on the endorphins. Be her workout buddy and encourage her to sweat out the everyday stresses. Even better? Host a casual DIY spa day — manicures, pedicures, masks, the works — and remind your friend to take care of herself.
The bottom line: Be patient. Throughout the planning process, a bride-to-be juggles a lot of different details, which can bring on a wide range of emotions. One of the best things you can do to help? Maintain a friendship outside of all the wedding plans. Keep up the hobbies you shared together pre-proposal to preserve a sense of normalcy. If you always loved to cook together, sign up for a weekly cooking class — she's sure to welcome the distraction.

vi(1) is a screen-based ASCII text editor used by the majority of Unix/Linux users.
These WWW documents are provided so those inclined to learn and use vi(1) can easily access a comprehensive set of reference materials. These materials provide an understanding of how the basic pieces of vi add up to a powerful editing tool, and assist the experienced user in quick look-ups of obscure features.
:'a;'bg/[1-8]\.[1-9]$/s%\([1-8]\)\.\([1-9]\)% < a href="vi\1.html#\1_\2"> &</a> %This is not a generically useful command, but I did use it in the process of adding HTML directives to the vi user guide. And it was worth it!
Well, many files are meant to convey information that does not require these attributes -- data files, program source files, system configuration files, and so on.
So, many times you don't need to heavily format text. When you do you often use tools that compliment vi instead of superceeding it. Traditionally UNIX users used the family of *roff utilities (nroff, troff, ditroff, groff, man pages, ...). More recently, many began using the TeX/LaTeX package. The limited What-You-See-Is-What-You-Get capabilities of vi are superfluous when using these and other similar packages. If you can get by with HTML documents you'll also be able to do just fine with only vi (An easily guessed truth -- all the documents indexed from this page were composed using vi).
Another strength of vi(1) is that it goes well with UNIX. The UNIX environment is very stream-oriented and is designed to do tasks where fancy formatting has rarely been the primary concern. As a result, vi is well suited to the UNIX environment where Regular Expressions, subprocesses and text-stream filters (e.g. sed, grep, awk, uniq, sort, cut, paste, ...) are easily invoked as a compliment to the editor. In fact, if you do not come to learn how to use vi(1) with UNIX tools, scripts and other tools you are missing many of the advantages of editing with vi(1).
Vi is likely to change slowly. If you are looking for an extensible and ever-expanding editor/user interface/??? take a look at GNU emacs with it's source code history interfaces, X11 mouse and menu interfaces, programming environment and language context features and so on. Look for NetScape and FrameMaker to keep on becoming more and more useful (my personal opinion and not an endorsement, of course). If you are willing to look a little more off the beaten path, you will find that vi-like and vi-clone Internet packages such as vim have many worth-while extensions.

A new poll conducted by USC Dornsife and Los Angeles Times found that 50% of California residents disapprove of legalizing the "general or recreational use" of marijuana by adults. 46% of those polled approved of legalizing marijuana for the same purpose.
A poll of 1,000 voters was conducted statewide from May 17th to May 21st.
The poll also showed that more of those against marijuana legalization felt strongly about their position than those who were in support marijuana legalization.
The majority of individuals living in the Bay Area approved of legalizing marijuana, but that was the only area of the state in which a pro-legalization majority was reached. 55% of those in the Bay Area supported legalization, while 49% of voters in Los Angleles County and 41% of voters in Southern California approved of it.
Younger voters were more likely to be in favor of marijuana, with 58% of those in their late teens and 20s saying that they would support marijuana legalization. Only 51% of those between the ages of 54 and 60 were in support of it, and only 28% of respondents age 64 and over were in support of it.
When broken down into party affiliations, 60% of independents favored marijuana legalization, followed by 50% of Democrats and 28% of Republicans.
A former legalization initiative, Proposition 19, which failed in 2010, showed similar results to those found in the poll, leading researchers to believe that public opinion has not greatly changed on the subject over the course of the past two years.
Despite the split numbers for outright legalization, 80% of respondents approved of doctor-recommended medical marijuana for severe illnesses.

Dieterich School Board
Published on June 8 2012 11:34 am
Last Updated on July 14 2013 12:07 pm
Written by Greg Sapp
Dieterich school board members Thursday got an update on performance contracting work underway in the school complex.
Superintendent Bruce Owen said the work is ahead of schedule. The high school gym HVAC and condensers were set and are temporarily operational. The gas piping was completed for that portion of the project and the locker room heaters were set and the gas piped and the electrical is 90% complete for that portion of the project. In the old gym, the HVAC and condensers were set, gas piping was complete and the electrical was 75% completed. The old boilers have been removed and the new boilers are set in place waiting to be wired and gas piping. The shop roof, new gym and the area between and in front of the gym are 90% complete. The new curb over the mezzanine in the cafeteria has been set and capped. The elementary area has the ceiling tile and grid removed and Merz Air Conditioning and Heating is setting HVAC units and installing new duct work and removing old unused ductwork. GRP is installing the gas piping for the HVAC units and the electricians from Burford Electric are installing conduit for the wiring. Alpha Controls is working on tying all the HVAC units together so the district will have remote control of all the units.
Elementary principal Kathy Pattenaude and high school principal Cary Jackson presented the preliminary report of ISAT scores for the district. They reported that 50% of the students tested exceeded on the Math portion of the testing in Grades 3-8 and that overall 95% of the students tested either met or exceeded State standards in Math. They also reported that in Reading in Grades 3-8, 86% either met or exceeded State standards. The principals said the good scores were attributable to the high expectations of the teachers and parents, and the community support given the schools.
The Board amended the budget for the current school year. The budged added the amount for health and life safety bonds received for the Performance Contracting work underway. Owen said the district will have a balanced budget for the school year if the State pays the District the money it owes by June 30.
Dieterich board members hired Jeff Staser as boys varsity basketball coach for the coming year. Staser succeeds Jamie Van Scyoc who resigned as basketball coach earlier this year. The Board also hired Haley Hartke as high school Math teacher for the coming school year.
The Board also approved giving the non-certified staff the same percentage raises they'd given the certified staff for the coming school year, and approved the principals' salaries for the coming school year. Board members also approved a policy for service animals for students and staff.

Stone figurine
Late Chalcolithic, around 4500
Probably from the Amuq Plain, modern Turkey
A fertility symbol?
Although this figure was bought at Atchana it may have come from one of the many tells (remains of ancient settlements) that dot the landscape of the Amuq Plain. This is an extremely fertile area of more than 1400 square kilometres, and has been an attractive area to farmers for thousands of years.
Fertility symbols were important in Anatolian religion at all periods. Female figurines are found in the early prehistoric cultures from the sixth millennium BC onwards. The emphasis given to sexual features, limbs, body paint and jewellery varied according to time and place. Here the pose is naturalistic but the jutting head is almost featureless and she has large breasts and heavy thighs.

Fiscal Oversight of Title I Could Be Improved
GAO-03-377: Published: Feb 28, 2003. Publicly Released: Feb 28, 2003.

(202) 512-6778
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
New resources for education come at a time when states are struggling to address budget shortfalls. Two provisions in Title I--maintenance of effort (MOE) and supplement not supplant (SNS)--are designed to limit the extent to which federal funds could be used to replace state and local resources. To assess the quality of oversight of these provisions, GAO determined (1) how 6 states--Arizona, California, Florida, Indiana, Louisiana, and Massachusetts--conducted oversight of the MOE and SNS provisions and what factors affected their ability to do so; (2) what efforts were made by the U.S. Department of Education to enforce MOE and SNS; and (3) in the 6 states, what changes have occurred in the federal share of education funding from school year 1999-2000 to 2000-2001.
In the states we visited, state program officials used three tools--the states' annual financial reports, the single audit process, and limited program monitoring--to oversee Title I's fiscal accountability requirements. While program officials had little difficulty in applying the MOE provision because it involves a straightforward calculation, state and local program officials and auditors we spoke with cited a number of factors that made it difficult to enforce the SNS provision under certain circumstances. One of the challenges auditors faced was determining whether a school district would have removed its own funds from a program and allocated them elsewhere even if federal funds had not been available--an action that is allowable. Another challenge was applying the SNS provision in circumstances where it is difficult to track federal dollars such as in schoolwide programs--where all funds are pooled--or in districts undergoing significant districtwide reforms--where comparisons to previous budgets are problematic. While some auditors struggled to apply the SNS provision to the particular circumstance of districts and schools, program officials relied primarily on the results of the single audits without being aware of some of these audit's limitations. For example, some officials did not understand that not all districts, programs, or transactions may be covered by the audit. While program monitoring adds a degree of depth to the efforts to oversee the SNS provision, most of the states in GAO's review conducted only limited program monitoring. We identified three key efforts Education made to guide, monitor, and enforce the fiscal accountability provisions, but each had limitations. First, Education provided guidance and technical assistance to state and local education agencies and auditors on how to interpret and apply Title I's fiscal accountability requirements. Despite the availability of this guidance, many of the auditors and program officials we spoke with expressed confusion regarding the application of these provisions to their particular circumstances, such as schoolwide programs. Second, Education conducted program monitoring of select state and local education programs each year; however, coverage was limited. Third, Education, reviewed the audit reports conducted under the Single Audit Act. However, Education's Office of Inspector General and GAO have criticized the review and audit follow up process. Few changes occurred in the federal/state/local fiscal partnership in financing education services between school year 1999-2000 and 2000-2001. It is too soon to tell how recent increases in federal funds and state and local fiscal pressures will affect funding for education and the federal share.
Matter for Congressional Consideration
Status: Closed - Not Implemented
Comments: The Congress has not acted on GAO's recommendation that it consider eliminating the Supplement-Not-Supplant (SNS) for schoolwide programs.
Matter: To better align its expectations for accountability with Title I schoolwide program goals, the Congress should consider eliminating the SNS requirement for schoolwide programs.
Recommendations for Executive Action
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: The U.S. Department of Education reports that its staff have revised the program monitoring protocols to ensure that this requirement is addressed during all monitoring visits across all states. Department staff provide extensive technical assistance in this area.
Recommendation: The U.S. Department of Education should enhance its technical assistance and training efforts to ensure that State Education Agencies and Education program staff have a clearer understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of the single audit process and the role the audits can play in required oversight activities and encourage them to heighten the level of attention they give the fiscal requirements in their own monitoring efforts.
Agency Affected: Department of Education
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: According to the Department of Education it has revised its monitoring guides to more completely address fiscal issues, including the area of "supplement not supplant."
Recommendation: Education should amend its guidance for grantees and oversight officers to address all of Title I's fiscal requirements, including the SNS provision.

Europe's Growing Pro-Israel Sentiments
by Daniel Pipes
Translations of this item:
Robert Marquand makes a convincing, if counter-intuitive case in the Christian Science Monitor that "Israel finds more sympathy in Europe: Concerns about Islamist threat have influenced traditionally pro-Arab Europe's view of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict."
He begins by observing that leaders from European Union countries recently joined Israeli foreign minister Tzipi Livni as she announced "We are all opposed to terrorism" and offers this anecdote as a symbol of the "little-noted but ongoing convergence between European and US-Israeli thinking" on the Arab-Israeli conflict.
For decades, Marquand writes,
Public support for Arabs is down due social tensions with Muslim immigrants. "Europe fears an Islamist threat, whether internal or external, and this has begun to change the overall views on the Israel-Palestine conflict," says Aude Signoles of the University of La Réunion. "There is a general 'Arab fatigue' in Europe," says Denis Bauchard of L'Institut français des relations internationales.
One sign is that other than José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero of Spain, all of the major leaders European leaders today –Nicolas Sarkozy of France, Angela Merkel of Germany, Gordon Brown of Great Britain, and Silvio Berlusconi of Italy – are sympathetic to Israel.
What Marquand calls the "Euro-American convergence" means European diplomats support Palestinians on emotional and humanitarian grounds rather than political ones. "Europe itself is not the Europe of decades past," he writes, "dominated by French diplomacy, with its Arab ties. There are 27 nations. Eastern and former Soviet states, like Poland and the Czech Republic, often take American positions on foreign affairs."
Comment: This is another sign that Europe is not "finished," but, as I have argued elsewhere, it is in deep flux, with its destiny vis-à-vis Islam still very much unknown. (January 8, 2009)
Jan. 15, 2009 update: Specific confirmation of this trend comes from Italy, where intrepid reporter-turned-parliamentarian Fiamma Nirenstein writes on her weblog about a pro-Israel rally, pictured above, that took place yesterday evening in Rome, in Piazza Montecitorio, the square in front of Italy's parliament building. (The building in the picture is the parliament.) She writes about the picture (with minor edits by me):

The functionality is the same as the initial solution starter; how and when the updates are processed is what changed. This new version significantly improves the timesheet queue throughput as well as the overall system stability by reducing the load on Statusing.
A special thank you to Mike Shughrue and Steven Haden from the EPM WW COE for creating and testing this solution starter.

Livonia Stevenson swimmer Matt Della Mora received a message to report to Jeff Shoemaker's classroom after school one day last fall. As he walked down the hallway, he spotted Nick Arakelian, whose locker is near Shoemaker's room.
As he passed Arakelian, Della Mora grabbed his arm and said: "You're coming with me."
Fortunately for Della Mora, the 6-foot-3 Arakelian didn't resist. ...

text: I was wondering if its possible to have a bad marijuana Experience or "Trip". I know this sounds like a very stupid question but I know that with harder drugs such as LSD or Shrooms ect. that if you go in with a bad mindset that you could have a very unpleasing experience. The reason why I ask is because a couple weeks ago I got kicked out of my home. I smoked only about 1 bowl with my friends (which is not a lot for me) everything went normal at first but then i started sweating a lot. Shortly after that I couldn't even look at weed without puking. I would puke even if i didn't have anything in my stomach. Shortly after that I passed out but thats ubnormal for me because I have greened out before and it for sure took more than 1 bowl. I guess it could have been because i was upset about being kicked out. Any Thoughts?

News Discussion / Democrats Hysterical over Rove Comments« on: June 24, 2005, 12:53:19 PM »
Basically, Rove said that conservatives favored a much more aggressive response than liberals after 9/11. Given that I personally know several liberals that criticized the invasion of Afghanistan, and claimed that "there was a peaceful alternative" to any military response, I'm not sure how anyone can reasonably dispute this.
However, Dems have gone into hysterics over the comment, demanding an apology, as well as the firing of Rove.
First off, the comment was about liberals, not Democrats. If the shoe doesn't fit, they don't have to wear it. (There are certainly some Democrats who aren't that liberal, and who understand the need for an agressive response.) Their defensiveness in this context, if anything, only seems to imply that the criticism is perhaps hitting too close to home.
Secondly, it is especially ironic that the Democratic anger and denial comes at a time when many Democrats are pressing the administration to abandon the democratically elected government of Iraq to the foreign terrorists that are opposing their reconstruction.
While we're on the subject, isn't it about time Senator Kennedy resigned? Aside from killing a young girl with his alcoholic negligence, he's been on the wrong side of pretty much every issue for three decades.
Reviews, Visits, and Rankings / Q: Okay with Rankings in Theory?« on: June 24, 2005, 04:09:57 AM »
I've read a lot of criticism of rankings and how they relate to hiring on here, and I was wondering something.
First off, I think we all recognize that there are an enormous amount of law school applicants and law school graduates every year. There presumably needs to be some way to evaluate and screen these people, particularly by employers, who probably can't realy afford to interview every applicant, or do OCI at every single campus.
Presumably, most people here are okay with the use of GPA / class rank as one such screening tool. Strong academic performance in law school probably indicates that someone is bright and hardworking, and has the potential to be a strong attorney. Class rank, of course, is simply one form of ranking, so most people here are presumably not opposed to the idea of ranking per-se.
However, as noted, firms also probably need to have a sense of the respective quality and competitiveness of each law school, so they know how to evaluate the class rank at each school, and so they know where to focus their efforts. Given that some schools are in fact more competitive in terms of student body, it probably wouldn't be fair or rational to treat everyone with a 3.0 law school gpa the same. Moreover, it would probably be logistically impossible for most firms to interview at all schools the way they interview at top-tier schools. So some sort of ranking of law schools would seem to make sense.
My hypothesis: Most people here aren't so bothered by the idea of ranking law schools, any more than they are bothered by the idea of ranking students by class-rank. Both, of course, are systems which (imperfectly) attmept to evaluate the academic performance and professional potential of students.
Rather, I think what they are bothered by is the WAY that law schools select their student body. If law schools spent more time carefully examining each applicant to determine potential, focusing more on difficulty of major, grade trends, economic background, accomplishments, etc., and gave less weight to LSAT, I think more people would support the ranking system as a legitimate meritocracy, even if it meant that T-14 and Tier one grades would still have employment advantages.
I'm curious about other people's opinions on this. Do people feel that all law schools should be treated identically for hiring purposes, or do they feel that we simply need reform to create a more fair and meaningful heirarchy?

Umoja: The Bible, Sexuality, and Gender for African-American Faith Communities TEL Course
Umoja: The Bible, Sexuality, and Gender for African-American Faith Communities TEL Online Course Series
Tuesdays , May 28– June 25, TEL Online
"UMOJA" is a Swahili word that means unity. African-American communities, however, are deeply divided over homosexuality. Many families and congregations are unsure about supporting loved ones who come out as lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender (LGBT), especially if and when church authority teach to the contrary. Many are broken-hearted and confused in the midst of hurtful words and damaged relationships. This 5-week series is designed to help repair, restore and rediscover the kinship of families and churches. Each class session will cover the Umoja: Unity in the Community curriculum to help participants learn how to use this study in their local church context.

Fifteen years have passed since Larry Jenkins, a successful longtime nightclub operator, committed his life to God and attracted national headlines by destroying $5,000 in liquor and converting his So Fine Club into a church.
Downtown Oklahoma City 'dive' resurfaces with varied clientele
Jenkins self-published a book about the tragedies and unhappiness that led him to end his 27-year-old business — one known throughout the metro for its celebration of old-time rock 'n' roll. And then, he faded from public notice.
If the So Fine Club at 8200 SW 3 was one of city's livelier night clubs, the opposite could be said about another longtime venue, The Neighborhood Lounge, 733 NW 4.
According to county records, the 2,600-square-foot bar dates to 1930. I recall visiting the bar just once, about 20 years ago, when I was The Oklahoman's crime reporter, to interview a down-on-luck person helping me on a story.
The bar, located across from the Oklahoma County jail and surrounded by dilapidated century-old flop houses, was dark, gloomy and filled with the scent of cigarettes, cheap beer and despair.
The Neighborhood Lounge was a destination for aging inmates released from jail — a place where they could drink and smoke until they died.
A couple of years ago, however, I noticed changes at the corner of NW 4 and Shartel. The Neighborhood Lounge got a new paint job, with a mural of a cheery couple dancing next to a sign declaring "Cocktails and Dancing." Banners sometimes advertised karaoke nights. And then the gloomy, dilapidated flop houses were torn down and outside lights were added around the bar.
For someone who has seen change of all sorts downtown the past 20 years, this was one of the oddest transformations to date. Then, last fall, I noticed that several popular downtown young professionals with big social media followings began posting about their adventures at The Neighborhood Lounge.
The bar established Facebook and Twitter accounts. When I saw an application filed with Downtown Design Review for addition of an outdoor patio, I noted on my blog, OKC Central, that I had seen everything.
Or so I thought.
Warm welcome key to revival
By most definitions, The Neighborhood Lounge still qualifies as a "dive." Those who live on the street, folks who have endured tough times, still gather at The Neighborhood Lounge. But now, increasing numbers of young professionals are joining them. A couple weeks ago I finally took up a challenge to see what's going on with my own eyes.

Napaliatano or Whatever Her Nmae is
Let's protect those little ole hatin' muslims.
Boy and girls...this is going to be the downfall of America if we're not careful.
The mantra being sung that diversity is our strength may have been true 50 years ago when all immigrants that came to this country wanted to adopt US ways and become citizens and AMERICANS. Now, immigrants are encouraged to keep their "cultural ways" from whence they came and do not assimilate. A classic example of this is all the signs/advertising in Spanish. Another example is that taking your drivers license test in 5 different languages other then English, the language of this land!
What about the non-sense of taking the Oath of Citizenship in a language other then English?????
The Associated Press: Homeland chief warns against anti-Muslim backlash
Homeland chief warns against anti-Muslim backlash
(AP) – 8 hours ago
ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates — The U.S. Homeland Security secretary says she is working to prevent a possible wave of anti-Muslim sentiment after the shootings at Fort Hood in Texas.
Janet Napolitano says her agency is working with groups across the United States to try to deflect any backlash against American Muslims following Thursday's rampage by Army Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, a Muslim who reportedly expressed growing dismay over the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
The shootings left 13 people dead and 29 wounded.
Napolitano was in the United Arab Emirates on Sunday for talks with security officials and a meeting with women university students in Abu Dhabi.
Normally I would not persecute a religion as a whole for the wrongs of one of it's worshippers, but this is getting to be a pattern...... I think it should be obvious to all by now that at very least this religion is being used as a cover for terrorists, and at worst a protaganist of them, and while it happens our government and media spin it as if THEY need to be protected....
By PAMELA HESS, Associated Press Writer Pamela Hess, Associated Press Writer Sun Nov 8, 6:35 pm ET
WASHINGTON The alleged Fort Hood shooter apparently attended the same Virginia mosque as two Sept. 11 hijackers in 2001, at a time when a radical imam preached there.
Whether the Fort Hood shooter associated with the hijackers is something the FBI will probably look into, according to a law enforcement official who spoke on condition of anonymity because the investigation is ongoing.
The family of Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, the Army psychiatrist who killed 13 and wounded 29 at the Texas military base, held his mother's funeral at the Dar al Hijrah Islamic Center in Falls Church, Va., on May 31, 2001, according to her obituary in the Roanoke Times newspaper.
In 2001, Anwar Aulaqi was an imam, or spiritual leader, at the Washington-area mosque. Aulaqi told the FBI in 2001 that, before he moved to Virginia in early 2001, he met with 9/11 hijacker Nawaf al-Hazmi several times in San Diego. Al-Hazmi was at the time living with Khalid al-Mihdhar, another hijacker. Al-Hazmi and another hijacker, Hani Hanjour, attended the Dar al Hijrah mosque in Virginia in early April 2001.
In his FBI interview, Aulaqi denied ever meeting with al-Hazmi and Hanjour while in Virginia.
Aulaqi, a native-born U.S. citizen, left the United States in 2002, eventually traveling to Yemen. He was investigated by the FBI in 1999 and 2000 after it was learned that he may have been contacted by a possible procurement agent for Osama bin Laden. During this investigation, the FBI learned that Aulaqi knew people involved in raising money for Hamas, a Palestinian group on the U.S. State Department's terrorist list.
Imam Johari Abdul-Malik, outreach director at Dar al Hijrah, said he did not know whether Hasan ever attended the mosque but confirmed that the Hasan family participated in services there. Abdul-Malik said the Hasans were not leaders at the mosque and their attendance was utterly normal.
The Falls Church mosque is one of the largest on the East Coast, and thousands of worshippers attend prayers and services there every week. Abdul-Malik said it's a mistake for people to conflate regular attendance at a mosque with extremism.
Many Muslims pray at the mosque multiple times a day, he said. "It's part of family life. It's like going out for ice cream after dinner."
Faizul Khan, former imam of the Muslim Community Center in nearby Silver Spring, Md., where Hasan also worshipped, said he was not aware that Hasan had attended services at Dar al Hijrah but said it would not be unusual for Hasan to attend more than one mosque concurrently.
Khan said he did not recall Hasan mentioning having been taught or preached to by Aulaqi.
The London Telegraph first reported the potential link between Hasan and the mosque.
Army Chief of Staff Gen. George Casey said Sunday it's important for the country not to get caught up in speculation about Hasan's Muslim faith, and he has instructed his commanders to be on the lookout for anti-Muslim reaction to the killings at the Texas post.
He says focusing on the Islamic roots of the suspected shooter could "heighten the backlash" against all Muslims in the military.
Casey says diversity in the military "gives us strength."
Casey declined to answer questions about the investigation into the shooting, but said evidence to this point shows that Hasan acted alone. He toured Fort Hood on Friday with Army Secretary John McHugh.
Casey appeared on ABC's "This Week" and CNN's "State of the Union."
Associated Press Writers Eileen Sullivan, Ben Nuckols and Matthew Barakat contributed to this story.
'Islam not responsible' for Fort Hood massacre: US imam
Islam is "not responsible" for the bloodbath at an army base in Texas where Muslim-American army Major Nidal Malik Hasan allegedly gunned down 13 people, the prayer leader at the mosque where the officer regularly worshipped said Friday.
"We offer our condolences and prayers to the families that have a person who died," said Imam Mohammed Abdullahi over loud-speakers that carried the weekly Muslim prayer to several hundred worshippers gathered at the mosque.
"Islam is not responsible," he stressed.
Many of the worshippers who had come to the mosque in this suburb of Washington knew Hasan or had seen him at Friday prayer, which he attended regularly when he lived in the Washington area.
To them, the news that he had allegedly opened fire with a semi-automatic weapon and a handgun in a crowded troop processing center on the sprawling Fort Hood base in Texas, mowing down 13 people and wounding 30 others, came as a shock.
"Islam doesn't command anybody to do something like that," said Shaikh Khamis, who has prayed at the Silver Spring Muslim Community Center mosque for 11 years.
"It's very sad, a big tragedy for everybody," said another worshipper, Ibrahim Gayi.
"We pray for everybody, all Americans, not only Muslims," he said.
Asif Qadri, head of the medical clinic at the Muslim Community Center, described Hasan, an army major, as "very gentlemanly.
"He was sociable, likeable. We had regular, casual conversation -- he didn't manifest any particular view either way," Qadri said.
"When I saw him on television, I couldn't believe my eyes," he added.
It was "unbelievable", said Qadri, that the man who news reports said went on a deadly rampage Thursday was the soft-spoken psychiatrist who prayed at the mosque nearly every week.
The son of Palestinian immigrants, Hasan was born and raised in Virginia, the state that borders Maryland to the west, and after high school, went against his parents' wishes and enlisted in the military, which put him through college and medical school.
He spent nearly all his professional life at Walter Reed Army Medical Center in northwest Washington, DC working as a psychiatrist before shipping out this year to Fort Hood, from where he was reportedly due to deploy to Afghanistan.
Silver Spring is just blocks from the Walter Reed facility and has been home to the Muslim Community Center and its busy mosque for 33 years.
"Everybody knows this is not a place for fanatics," said Qadri. "We don't encourage that sort of thing."
Imam Abdullahi recalled seeing Hasan at Friday prayer for the last time in June, and Akhtar Khan, a worshipper at the mosque, described the army psychiatrist as "a peaceful person, very quiet.
"He would just come and pray," he said as worshippers at the mosque struggled to understand why Hasan, a specialist in combat stress, snapped and opened fire in a troop processing center in Fort Hood that was packed with soldiers preparing to deploy overseas.
"It's got to be something mental," said Gayi.
"These guys who go and come back from war, they need help," he said.
