TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) — Dan Conroy kicked a 47-yard field goal with 1:01 left, Le'Veon Bell ran for 145 yards and a fourth-quarter touchdown, and Michigan State rallied to beat Texas Christian 17-16 in the Buffalo Wild Wings Bowl on Saturday night.
Michigan State (7-6) labored through the first half before going on the longest drive in the school's bowl history, a 90-yard march capped by freshman Connor Cook's 15-yard touchdown pass to Aaron Burbridge in the third quarter. The Spartans recovered a muffed punt by TCU's Skye Dawson at the 4-yard line midway through the fourth quarter and Bell scored two plays later by racing around left end for a 14-13 lead.
TCU (7-6) rallied to set up Jaden Overkrom for a 53-yard field goal with 2:42 left, but left Conroy too much time for his second straight postseason game-winner after beating Georgia with a 28-yard kick in the third overtime of last year's Outback Bowl.
Trevone Boykin threw for 201 yards on 13-of-29 passing with an interception for the Horned Frogs.
TCU and Michigan State came to the desert with an awful lot of similarities.
The Horned Frogs opened their first season in the Big 12 with four straight wins before losing four of their final six games. Michigan State started 4-2, then lost four of six down the stretch.
Michigan State had the nation's fourth-best defense and was 10th in scoring defense during the regular season. TCU was 18th in total defense and 10th against the run.
Michigan State quarterback Andrew Maxwell was up-and-down in his first season as Kirk Cousins' replacement, throwing 13 touchdown passes and nine interceptions. Boykin took over after four games for Casey Pachall, who was suspended and later left the team, and threw for 15 touchdowns and nine interceptions.
The biggest difference between the teams was Bell.
The junior was third nationally with 137.3 yards rushing per game and had 1,648 on the season, second-most in Michigan State history and 242 fewer than TCU had as a team.
Early on, the Horned Frogs gave him nowhere to go.
Filling holes inside and stringing plays out toward the sidelines, TCU stuffed the 237-pound junior on nearly every touch, holding him to 38 yards on 11 carries in the first half.
Of course, it didn't seem to matter what Michigan State did. The Spartans had 29 yards on 12 plays in the first quarter and weren't a whole lot better in the second, with Maxwell throwing two near-interceptions on consecutive passes and an ill-advised trick play that probably should have resulted in a turnover, too.
Michigan State had three first downs and 76 total yards in the first half.
The Spartans still seemed to be stuck in the ruts in the third quarter before grinding out a 14-play scoring drive led by Cook, who replaced Maxwell for the second time in the game. They had their biggest play on a floating pass from Bell to fullback TyQuan Hammock (29 yards), then Cook threw his first career touchdown pass, a 15-yarder to Burbridge on a crossing route that cut TCU's lead to 13-7.
TCU didn't exactly have its way with Michigan State's defense, but did enough to put together three first-half scoring drives.
The Frogs started gashing the Spartans for decent-sized chunks with their option midway through the first quarter, setting up Matthew Tucker's 4-yard touchdown on an end-around.
Boykin had an impressive off-the-back-foot throw to freshman Kolby Listenbee for 59 yards on the last play of the first quarter and nearly had a 19-yard touchdown pass to open the second, but LaDarius Brown was bumped and dropped the ball in the end zone. Oberkrom followed with a 47-yard field goal and added another from 31 yards after Boykin hit Josh Boyce on a 61-yard pass to put TCU up 13-0 at halftime.
The Frogs couldn't keep it up in the second half.
TCU had 30 yards of offense in the third quarter and continued to labor in the fourth before its last-ditch drive ended in the closing seconds.

Up early this morning as we arrived in Skagway early.
Today Patti, Carrie, and Patrick go on a float trip, Jenn and I take a train ride. My folks talked about this train on one of their trip. Jenn and I were on the Yukon Suspension Bridge, City and White Pass Railway adventure
On the way out of Skagway, we passed a cemetery. All of the headstones are posted on Find-A-Grave. If we have time at the end of the tour, I may go back and take some closer pictures.
Everywhere you go, there are stories. The cemetery is one of them. About a gun battle between 2 gentlemen, both were killed in the gun fight, one is buried within the boundary of the cemetery and the "bad guy" is outside.
As we climbed the mountains, we ran into more snow. We made two stops, both of which passengers got off to take a "hike" up to one of the nearby (miles away) Glaciers.
A couple of tunnels, round some curves, over some not so new bridges, and looking "over the side" it was a very steep drop down into the valley below. We continued to hear the stories of the "gold rush".
The higher we got, the more snow we saw. You could reach out the window or on one of the platforms of the train and you could touch the snow and you had to look UP to see how high the snow was. We would later hear that there was about 6 inches of snow the night before.
We stopped, in Canada, in Frazer. Population 13. The population walks to work at the border crossing.
Back to the bus that took us from the Disney Wonder to the train, and now on up to the Yukon Suspension Bridge. Wondering what the bridge was there, it had the answer to the question "Why did the chicken cross the road?". The suspension bridge was over a gouge, so the bridge was to get to the other side.
The land in the other side had been a place for trapping, but that hasn't happened for 100 years. The river below will start to pick up in a couple of weeks it will become a category 5 rafting spot.
The "Welcome Center" and gift shop was built-in the tradition of Canada, that is Open Hands. The building was in two pieces, with the open hands welcoming visitors to the suspension bridge.
Time to start back to Skagway.
Lots of snow, roads clear, but beautiful. Stopped at the summit of the mountain (3,200+ feet). Re-entered Alaska and stopped to take a Welcome to Alaska sign.
The road down the hill was on the far side of the train tracks that we took up to Frazier. On we way up, we were told that the difference between driving a car or riding a bus up the mountain is that the Train does not stop to take pictures of the Buses.
Back to 'sea level', Jenn and I had lunch at the Red Onion in Skagway and walked around town. All of the stores seemed to be selling diamonds.
We caught up with Patrick, Carrie, and Patti. Just hung out in town. No rush to get back to the ship, but don't want to be late.

Obama: US won't stop confronting Islamic State
See Gallery
By LARA JAKES
WASHINGTON (AP) -- The United States stood firm Wednesday in its fight against Islamic State militants who beheaded a U.S. journalist in Iraq, pledging to continue attacking the group despite its threats to kill another American hostage. President Barack Obama denounced the group as a "cancer" threatening the entire region as the administration weighed sending even more American troops to Iraq.
"We will be vigilant and we will be relentless," Obama said as the U.S. military pressed ahead with more airstrikes on Islamic State targets in Iraq.
The execution of journalist James Foley drew international condemnation, and western nations responded with stepped-up efforts to counter the threat posed by Islamic State. Germany announced it would supply the Kurds with weapons to fight the insurgent. Italy's defense minister said the country hopes to contribute machine guns, ammunition and anti-tank rockets. French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius said the killing showed the true face of this "caliphate of barbarism."
In capitals across the Middle East, by contrast, the news of Foley's death was met with silence, even in Syria and Iraq - the two countries where the Islamic State is strongest. On social media, people in the region condemned Foley's killing, but stressed that the Islamic State has been committing atrocities against Iraqis and Syrians for years.
The slain journalist's parents, Diane and John Foley, spoke to reporters outside their home in Rochester, New Hampshire, in an appearance where wrenching grief over their son's death mingled with laughter over his life.
Diane Foley said her son was courageous to the end and called his death "just evil."
"We are just very proud of Jimmy and we are praying for the strength to love like he did and keep courageous and keep fighting for all the people he was fighting for," Diane Foley said Wednesday. "We pray for all the remaining Americans."
Obama's remarks affirmed that the U.S. would not scale back its military posture in Iraq in response to Foley's killing. And at the State Department, spokeswoman Marie Harf did not rule out military operations in Syria to bring those responsible to justice, saying the U.S. "reserves the right to hold people accountable when they harm Americans. What that looks like going forward, those conversations will be happening."
Since the video was released Tuesday, the U.S. military has conducted 14 airstrikes on Islamic State targets. U.S. officials said military planners were considering the possibility of sending a small number of additional troops to Iraq, at the request of the State Department, mainly to provide additional security around Baghdad.
Obama said he'd told Foley's family in a phone call Wednesday that the United States joins them in honoring all that Foley did, praising the journalist for his work telling the story of the crisis in Syria, where Foley was captured in 2012. "Jim Foley's life stands in stark contrast to his killers," Obama said. He spoke from Martha's Vineyard in Massachusetts, where his family is vacationing.
Foley, 40, went missing in northern Syria in November 2012 while freelancing for Agence France-Presse and the Boston-based media company GlobalPost. The car he was riding in was stopped by four militants in a contested battle zone that both Sunni rebel fighters and government forces were trying to control. He had not been heard from since.
"Today, the American people will all say a prayer for those who loved Jim," Obama said. "All of us feel the ache of his absence. All of us mourn his loss."
The beheading marks the first time the Islamic State has killed an American citizen since the Syrian conflict broke out in March 2011, upping the stakes in an increasingly chaotic and multilayered war. The killing is likely to complicate U.S. involvement in Iraq and the Obama administration's efforts to contain the group as it expands in both Iraq and Syria.
The group is the heir apparent of the militancy known as al-Qaida in Iraq, which beheaded many of its victims, including American businessman Nicholas Berg in 2004.
The video released on websites Tuesday appears to show the increasing sophistication of the Islamic State group's media unit and begins with scenes of Obama explaining his decision to order airstrikes.
It then cuts to Foley, kneeling in the desert. A masked militant is shown apparently beginning to cut at Foley's neck. The video fades to black before the beheading is completed; the next shot shows him lying dead.
The militant in the video has not been identified, but he spoke with a British accent, and British Prime Minister David Cameron said that "from what we have seen it looks increasingly likely that is a British citizen." U.S. officials agreed with that assessment.
Obama did not specifically mention Steven Sotloff, another kidnapped American journalist that Islamic State says could be killed next. But he offered prayers on behalf of the American people for "those other Americans who are separated from their families."
A man identified as Sotloff appears at the end of the Foley video in a similar orange jumpsuit. Sotloff was kidnapped near the Syrian-Turkish border in August 2013; he had freelanced for Time, the National Interest and MediaLine.
Tuesday's airstrikes by American fighter jets and drones centered on targets around the Mosul Dam and were designed to help Iraqi and Kurdish forces create a buffer zone at the key facility, according to a U.S. official. The official was not authorized to discuss the ongoing operations publicly so spoke on condition of anonymity.
Since Aug. 8, there have been 84 U.S. airstrikes in Iraq on Islamic State targets - including security checkpoints, vehicles and weapons caches. It's not clear how many militants have been killed in the strikes, although it's likely that some were.
The Islamic State militant group is so ruthless in its attacks against all people they consider heretics or infidels that it has been disowned by al-Qaida's leaders. In seeking to impose its harsh interpretation of Islamic law in the lands it is trying to control, the extremists have slain soldiers and civilians alike in horrifying ways - including mounting the decapitated heads of some of its victims on spikes.
Senators from both parties condemned the killing, and some Republicans questioned Obama's resolve in confronting the Islamic State.
"The United States must not cower to these terrorists' ruthless demands by remaining on the sidelines," said Rep. Mike Pompeo, R-Kan., a House Intelligence Committee member and former Army officer.
"ISIL has declared war on the United States, on the American people and on freedom loving people everywhere," added Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla. He said Obama has been "unwilling to do what is necessary to confront ISIL."
The New York-based Committee to Protect Journalists says that more than 80 journalists have been abducted in Syria, and estimates that around 20 are currently missing there. It has not released their nationalities. In its annual report in November, the committee described the widespread seizure of journalists as unprecedented and largely unreported by news organizations in the hope that keeping the kidnappings out of public view may help in the captives' release.
Associated Press writers Lolita C. Baldor, Bradley Klapper, Julie Pace and Josh Lederman in Washington, Jim Kuhnhenn in Massachusetts, Ryan Lucas in Beirut, Rik Stevens in Rochester, New Hampshire, and Zeina Karam in Beirut contributed to this report.

I only made it through season two on IT Crowd. For some reason, I couldn't get past the laugh track on season three. Otherwise, I loved it.I've seriously spent time trying to figure out how to make an automated recording that says, "have you tried turning it off and on again..." It would save on so many calls.

type FileOffset = COff
myfdRead :: Fd -> Ptr CChar -> ByteCount -> IO (Either Errno ByteCount)Source
Alas, GHC provides no function to read from Fd to an allocated buffer. The library function fdRead is not appropriate as it returns a string already. I'd rather get data from a buffer. Furthermore, fdRead (at least in GHC) allocates a new buffer each time it is called. This is a waste. Yet another problem with fdRead is in raising an exception on any IOError or even EOF. I'd rather avoid exceptions altogether.
myfdSeek :: Fd -> SeekMode -> FileOffset -> IO (Either Errno FileOffset)Source
The following fseek procedure throws no exceptions.
newtype Errno
Haskell representation for
errno values.
The implementation is deliberately exposed, to allow users to add
their own definitions of

We're still not quite sure what the situation is for Nokia's stock of the Lumia 920. Word is that they kept production limits tight due to a fear of having a warehouse filled with unsold devices just collecting dust. That's a dangerous position to be in when your financials are as precarious as Nokia's.
Being the case, it's still interesting to read that in the Netherlands, where the Lumia 920 just went on sale today, at least one major reseller (Bol.com) is already reporting stock is so low that they can't guarantee any orders past tomorrow. To make it worse, they don't even know when the device will be back in stock.
A note has now gone up on their website, which is translated below:
"The official release date for the Nokia Lumia 920 is the 14th of January 2013. During pre-orders the 920 proved to be really popular. As a result of this there is a shortage of Nokia Lumia 920's for the entire country (of the Netherlands). This means that we cannot guarantee quick delivery if you place your order after the 15th of December 2012. We cannot provide a shipping date at this moment."
Indeed preorder interest was so high, it rivaled the iPhone 5 back in November. When reader of the site Niels called up Bol.com he was told "…they just didn't know when it would be back on the shelves. And that the demand is 'high'".
Once again the keywords are there: demand is high. So while we can write-off some of the Lumia 920 shortages to "initial low stock" it is also because once again, people just really want the darn thing. The question is when will Nokia finally ramp up production enough to meet that demand?
Source: Bol.com; Thanks, Niels, for the tip!

|For security reasons, scripts located in the user's home directory will not be run during this phase.
`kf5-config --path data`/plasma/shells/org.kde.plasma.desktop/updates/
with a ".js" suffix for scripts that have not yet been run. If there is more than one script which has not been run yet they will be executed serially in the alphabetical order of the file names.
A record of which update scripts have been run is kept in the application's config file in the [Updates] group. This means that if the plasma-desktop configuraiton file is removed, all the update scripts will be run again.
|For security reasons, scripts located in the user's home directory will not be run during this phase.
qdbus org.kde.plasma-desktop /MainApplication showInteractiveConsole
qdbus org.kde.plasma-desktop /MainApplication loadScriptInInteractiveConsole /path/to/file
Templates are named packages that contain scripts. This provides a way for common functionality to be easily reused, helping to increase consistency and lower maintenance costs. Templates can be loaded from other scripts by name and they are also used to populate some parts of the user interface, such as the entries in the Add Panels menu.
A template is a small set of files in a specified file hierarchy (or, in Plasma terms, a "Package"). In particular, a Template package contains the following files:
Templates are stored under share/apps/plasma/layout-templates and may be installed using `plasmapkg -t layout-template -i /path/to/package`. Template packages may also be provided as a .zip file with a .plasmalayout suffix.
The metadata.desktop file contains the usual .desktop entries such as Name and Icon but must also contain Type=Service and ServiceTypes=Plasma/LayoutTemplate entries. If the layout is specific to a given Plasma application, such as plasma-desktop, this can be specific using X-Plasma-Shell. X-Plasma-ContainmentCategories defines what kind of layout it is with possible values being panel and desktop. Finally a X-KDE-PluginInfo-Name entry is required to provide a globally unique internal name for the Template. Here is an example of a Template that provides a Panel layout for Plasma Netbook:
[Desktop Entry]
Name=Cool Panel
X-KDE-PluginInfo-Author=Aaron Seigo
When running a template, two global variables will be accessible in read-only mode: templateName and templateComment. They will contain the Name and Comment fields of the above desktop file, and are translated if a localization is available.
A good example of the use of templates is the use case that triggered the creation of this feature: the desire to make it easy for users to re-create the default panel that is created on first start. There is a Template called org.kde.plasma-desktop.defaultPanel that ships with the KDE Plasma Workspace which contains the layout for the initial default panel. This is referenced by the default Plasma Desktop init script and, because it is marked as a Panel Template in the metadata.desktop file it also shows up to the user in the Add Panels menu. When selected by the user from the menu, the exact same panel that is created on desktop start up is created for them, complete with Plasma Widgets and configuration.
Another example of the usefulness of templates is the "Find Widgets" template. This template, which first shipped with Plasma Desktop v4.5, provides a function for finding widgets by name. It appears in the toolbar "Load" and "Use" menus in the Desktop Console in plasma-desktop, and makes finding widgets as simple as:
var template = loadTemplate('org.kde.plasma-desktop.findWidgets')
Since just finding the widget is not enough, you can connect a callback to do additional operations, such as removing the widget :
removeWidget = function(widget, containment)
var template = loadTemplate('org.kde.plasma-desktop.findWidgets')
template.findWidgets('systemtray', removeWidget)
Probably the most user visible use of templates are "Activity templates". The structure of Activity templates is similar to the other use of templates, but a few extra features are provided in the metadata.desktop file. Here is an example of such an activity template:
[Desktop Entry]
Name=Cool Activity Template
X-Plasma-ContainmentLayout-ExecuteOnCreation=dolphin $desktop, gwenview $pictures
X-KDE-PluginInfo-Author=John Doe
The layout itself is still created from the layout.js file as usual, but this template also shows as a precreated activity to the user thanks to the X-Plasma-ContainmentLayout-ShowAsExisting key. Additionally, it starts applications in the newly created activity using the X-Plasma-ContainmentLayout-ExecuteOnCreation key.
That key is a list of commands to execute, and it supports the following variables:
They all expand into the path toward the user corresponding default folder.
In addition to the normal ECMA Script API and the Qt-specific extensions (such as signal/slot support) provided by QtScript, the following API is provided for use by scripts.
All of the API below, unless otherwise noted with a version noticed, appear as below in the KDE Software Compilation v4.4.0 and later. API that is not noted as being part of a given class or object is part of the global namespace.
|API compatibility is guaranteed from version to version starting with KDE Software Compilation v4.4.0.
Starting with KDE SC 4.5, the version number of both the scripting API and the application is available to the script via the following read-only properties:
Activities are the desktop layer in a plasma-desktop session and may contain widgts. In sightly more technical terms, they are desktop containments. Activities can be created, enumerated, modified and destroyed.
New Activities can be created using the Desktop constructor, like this:
var id = createActivity("Activity Name", "org.kde.plasma.folder")
var desktopsArray = desktopsForActivity(id)
The string passed into the constructor maps to the X-KDE-PluginInfo-Name= entry in the plugin's .desktop file). See the documentation on the Containment object class below.
Read-only properties:
Panels can be created, enumerated, modified and destroyed. A panel object combines both a containment as well as the container itself, allowing for full control of things such as where it appears on screen and the hiding features associated with them.
New Panels can be created using the Panel constructor, like this:
var panel = new Panel("dock")
The string passed into the constructor maps to the X-KDE-PluginInfo-Name= entry in the plugin's .desktop file).
Read-only properties:
Activity and Panel objects, once created by the script, or as returned by activityById, activityForScreen, or panelById) provide the following read-only properties:
as well as the following read/write properties:
and the following methods:
In addition to all of the above properties and functions, Panel objects also provide the folowing read/write properties:
Widgets may be enumerated by calling the widgetIds property on a Activity or Panel object. With a widget id in hand, a Widget object can be retrieved by calling widgetById(id) on an Activity or Panel object. New Widgets can be created with add addWidget(String) function provided by Activity and Panel objects.
A list of all installed widget types can be retrieved the following read-only property:
This can be used most conveniently with the indexOf() method, like this:
if (knownWidgeTypes.indexOf('someWidgetPluginName') > -1) {
print("It is installed on this system!");
} else {
print("It is not installed :(");
A Widget object provides the following read-only properties:
as well as the following read-write properties:
and the following methods:
Read-only properties:
var desktopfile = "firefox.desktop"
var executable = "firefox"
if (applicationExists(executable)) {
print (executable + " exists " + " with this path: " + applicationPath(executable))
print (executable + " .desktop file is located here : " + applicationPath(desktopfile))
} else{
print (executable + " does not exist ")
If a second string is passed in, it is considered a request for a specific path and the following types are recognized:
The second parameter should be a specific resource to find the path to. An example might be userDataPath("data", "plasma-desktop").
Scripting version >=6
Access to configuration files outside of the application's appletsrc file is provided by the ConfigFile object which has the following constructors:
ConfigFile has the following functions:
ConfigFile has the following read/write properties:
ConfigFile has the follow read-only properties:
Example usage:
// open the kickoffrc file
var config = ConfigFile('kickoffrc');
// switch to the RecentlyUsed group
config.group = 'RecentlyUsed';
// write an entry into it
config.writeEntry('MaxApplications', 25);
// now put Yes=20 into RecentlyUsed/Test
var config2 = ConfigFile(config, 'Test);
config2.writeEntry('Yes', 20);
Read-write properties:
Read-only properties:
A rectangle class is also provided for use with Widget, Panel and screen geometry properties and functions.
Read-only properites:
Read-write properties:
Here you find a list of commonly used configuration keys to use with the writeConfig command. Where the documentation notes that a key is in a subgroup, remember to first use currentConfigGroup.
Here are some keys that can be used with all widgets:
Most of the settings listed below apply to all widgets dealing with date and time (clock, digital-clock, binary-clock, …) Settings for individual plasmoids can be found in their respective category and usually only affect the plasmoid's appearance.
|This applet is likely to be embedded to system tray. For Systrem Tray specific tasks, i. e. how to add, manage and remove plasmoids inside it, see sections below
The System Tray has some unique behaviors since it can host widgets and configuring it is not as easy as most other widgets, particularly when adding and removing widgets. This section will help you deal with its specific behavior.
|Although notifications appear to be part of the System Tray, they are handled by a separate plasmoid which is embedded to the system tray. For its configuration keys, see section above
You can not add widgets to the systemtray in a similar way like you would add them to a panel or containment using addWidget. Instead, to add, manage and remove them, you need to utilize writeConfig changing the currentConfigGroup.
systray = panel.addWidget("systemtray") // First add a systemtray to your panel
systray.currentConfigGroup = Array("Applets","0") // then change the currentConfig Group
// to the subnode [Applets][0]. Use any number you like(?)
Now you can "create" the plasmoid by adding a "plugin" configuration entry
systray.writeConfig("plugin","notifier") // This will add a Device Notifier Plasmoid
You can modify the plasmoid's configuration by using writeConfig.
To change back to the top configuration level and thus edit the systemtray plasmoid itself pass an empty array to currentConfigGroup.
To remove a widget, delete the corresponding configuration group.
See removeSystrayApplet.js in kdeexamples

Matthew Hodson, veteran Lafourche Parish teacher and administrator, is the new principal at H.L. Bourgeois High School in Gray.
Matthew Hodson, veteran Lafourche Parish teacher and administrator, is the new principal at H.L. Bourgeois High School in Gray.
"There's a lot of challenges we're going to have to face, but I'm excited to join the H.L. Bourgeois family," Hodson said.
Hodson worked in the Lafourche school system for 18 1/2 years, first as a teacher and a coach. He served as assistant principal at Central Lafourche High, was principal for six years at Larose-Cut Off Middle School and worked in the transportation department at the Lafourche Central Office before returning to the classroom as a teacher at Lockport Middle School.
Hodson replaces Bridget Olivier, who left the school to take care of illnesses in her family, Superintendent Philip Martin said.
Hodson was selected from a pool of four applicants. Each applicant interviewed with a committee of system office staff, which then made a recommendation to Martin, who had the final say.
Hodson is the first Terrebonne high school principal whose appointment did not require approval by the School Board. A new law passed this year took hiring and firing authority away from school boards, leaving it entirely in the hands of the superintendent.
That law was struck down by a judge earlier this month but is on appeal. Until the appeals process is finished, the board has no say in personnel decisions, though Hodson will be introduced at the board meeting on Jan. 15.
Martin said Hodson was especially appealing for the H.L. Bourgeois job because he worked at Central Lafourche High School when it added the ninth grade.
H.L. Bourgeois serves grades 10-12 but will add the ninth grade next year once a new freshman center is completed.
"He was on the ground when Central Lafourche was going through a situation very much like what H.L. is going to do," Martin said. "He has experience making what can be a complicated transition."
Hodson said the school will have to work out a host of logistical issues by adding the ninth grade.
"The biggest challenge is adapting the students to a huge new environment," Hodson said. "They're used to Evergreen (Junior High), and now they're in a completely new place."
Adding a freshman class is only one of several challenges Hodson will face as principal. Principals are scrambling to implement a host of education changes this year, including new teacher evaluations, a new curriculum and a higher emphasis on high-stakes testing, among others.
Hodson said he's well aware of the challenges facing teachers — he'll be the first local principal appointed who's been through the new evaluation system as a teacher.
"There are always challenges," Hodson said. "But I'm excited for the opportunity to help the teachers and the students at H.L. Bourgeois meet those challenges."

Forming a nonprofit
- February 1, 2008
- |
Forming a nonprofit
Forming a nonprofit organization can be perfect for people who want to be their own boss and devote their work to charitable causes. A nonprofit is established just like a for-profit enterprise, with the additional step of applying for tax-exempt status with the Internal Revenue Service.
In Virginia, nonprofits must:
- Be registered as either a non-stock corporation or a limited liability company (LLC).
- Register with the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services for the ability to raise funds.
- Obtain a local business license, and, if required, register with the Virginia Department of Taxation.
A nonprofit organization becomes tax-exempt (allowing individuals and businesses who donate to the organization to deduct their gifts on their federal tax returns) by filing an application to become classified as a 501(c)(3) organization.
Necessary forms include IRS Form 8718 and IRS Package 1023. For instructions on filling out these forms, read IRS publication 557, Tax-Exempt Status for Your Organization.
All IRS forms can be obtained by calling (800) TAX FORM or downloading them from http://www.irs.gov
The Business Information Center of the VDBA can e-mail you a step-by-step explanation with live links to numerous resources and all required forms and instructions. Call (866) 248-8814 to request nonprofit instructions or e-mail your request to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Business One-Stop to be unveiled in 2008
Starting a business in Virginia will become easier in early 2008 when the online "Business One-Stop" is introduced. Entrepreneurs accessing the one-stop site will need to answer only a few simple questions to receive detailed information on the registrations, licenses and permits required.
Debut date of the new "Business One-Stop" will be announced on the Virginia Department of Business Assistance Web site, http://www.vdba.virginia.gov and the Virginia Business
Portal, http://www.business.virginia.gov.

The Central African Republic (CAR), a landlocked country of just four million people, has the most grim human development indicators in the region. A least developed country (LDC), it is ranked 178 out of 179 countries in the 2008 UNDP Human Development Index.
Repeated political and economic crises - including four coups in the last decade - have devastated the country and have resulted in an overall deterioration of living conditions. The country lacks basic services, and hospitals have only the most rudimentary equipment and medicine. The security situation is precarious especially in the north, characterized by the flow of arms and acts of violence. OCHA currently estimates that 85,000 of the more than 200,000 IDPs have returned to their villages of origin or resettled elsewhere while there are 108,000 still too scared to return.
The scarcity of food resources lies at the heart of this vicious poverty cycle. Though the country's potential agricultural output is more than adequate to feed the entire population, the incessant burning of villages, agricultural fields and food storehouses by armed groups has terrorized local farmers to the point where agricultural production is very limited.
The UNICEF multiple indicator cluster survey (MICS), which was carried out in December 2006, indicates that the chronic malnutrition rate stands at 30 percent and that global acute malnutrition has reached ten percent. At 6.2 percent, the country has one of the highest HIV/AIDS prevalence rates in the sub-region. The UNDP Human Development report shows life expectancy is 39 years, and has decreased by an average of five months per year since 1988.
WFP Activities
WFP assistance aims at improving the living conditions of the most needy, by targeting children and adults in the education sector, as well as expectant and nursing mothers, infants and young children in the health and nutrition sector, a large number of IDPs, people living with HIV/AIDS and their families, and tuberculosis (TB) patients. All WFP activities ensure that at least 50 percent of beneficiaries are female. Assistance is implemented through three different types of operations:
- Protracted relief and recovery operation. Through a relief component, WFP provides assistance to 97,000 vulnerable IDPs and 56,500 malnourished children, mothers of malnourished children and pregnant and nursing women. Additionally, 3,000 Darfurian refugees and crises-affected people are supported through general food distributions, and 85,000 children in the bush receive assistance through emergency school meals. Through the recovery component, WFP assists people living with HIV/AIDS and supports food-for-agriculture and food-for-work/training activities which include community infrastructure improvement/ development activities.
- Development operation. On average, WFP assists 100,000 primary school children during each school year under the school meals programme and 30,000 children and pregnant and nursing women suffering from malnutrition through mother and child health activities.
- Special Operations. WFP aims at ensuring that emergency food aid reaches beneficiaries through the augmentation of logistics capacity that includes: fleet augmentation, provision of increased storage capacity in the field, provision of temporary office and living accommodations for WFP staff and ad hoc road repairs. WFP also provides a reliable and safe mode of transportation to the CAR humanitarian community and donors.
