The Legal Consequences of Drunk-driving
Nobody can dispute the fact that alcohol makes people become less able to react immediately to dangerous situations which could harm them or someone else. Where driving is the issue, federal and state road safety authorities have always pointed out the clear dangers associated with driving while intoxicated with alcohol, and substantiates their declaration with statistical data.
Drunk-driving is one major problem in US roads and highways which has always caused worry to both government and private organizations. This is because it increases the risk of accidents which can injure or kill not only the drunk driver but innocent people as well. Records from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) show more than 10,000 fatal car crashes due to driving under the influence (DUI) or driving while intoxicated (DWI) every year; in 2012 alone, 10,322 individuals were killed in alcohol-impaired driving accidents.
Due to the injuries and property damages that it can cause, drunk-driving has, therefore, been made a serious traffic violation that is meted out with harsh punishments, which can include a large fine, imprisonment, mandatory attendance in a DUI school, suspension of driving privileges, and community service. If the accident causes injury or death though or if the drunk driver is found guilty of repetitive violations then he/she will face more severe punishments, like having an ignition interlock device (IID) installed in his/her vehicle, a requirement to acquire an SR-22 form or revocation of his/her license, besides those already mentioned earlier.
The current blood alcohol concentration limit (BAC) set for drivers in all US states is 0.08%; for commercial drivers, however, the limit is 0.04%, while for those 21 years old or below, there is a zero tolerance rule. This means that anyone caught driving with a BAC level set at the limit or higher will be charged with a DUI or DWI misdemeanor or felony offense.
As pointed out by Tuscon personal injury lawyers on their website, car accidents can very well result to serious and long-lasting physical and emotional repercussions for injured victims and their families. Because of this, DUI accidents need to be taken into serious consideration as it can impact each person involved in a wide number of factors.Read More
The Long-Lasting Effects of Disasters
They come without warning – natural disasters, calamities that can devastate entire populations and eras of time for generations and generations to come. Everyone remembers the burnt cities that Vesuvius left behind – the bones of women and children turned to ash and graveyards within seconds, the homes that took years to build and the temples that took the hands of hundreds of slaves turned not even to rubble, but dust, in the blink of an eye.
The thing about history lessons like this – of learning about calamities like this – is that you never think something so devastating could come to you, that these are all events that always happen to Someone Else. There are sometimes, some very unfortunate times, when Someone Else turns out to be you. And in this modern day and age, calamity can come more than in the form of fire and ice.
According to many claims filed through BP claim appeal lawyers, there are still people who experience the harsh consequences of the BP oil spill that transpired one April day in 2010, the biggest accidental marine oil spill in the history of the United States. There are still remnants of that oil within the shores and it has cost the livelihoods, the businesses, and the lives of the hundreds and thousands of people it has affected – as well as the economy of states that have been affected just the same, not to mention the impact on wildlife and the environment.
The worst thing about these kinds of situations – of oil spills and such – are that, unlike Vesuvius, these are completely avoidable circumstances… if only it were not for the negligence of people who could have saved so much trouble. That is why, should an incident of this nature occur, there is a need for these people to be represented in a court of law in order for them to be awarded justly due legal compensation for the expense and stress dealt upon them for this devastating situation.
A lot of people can be intimidated at first at the prospect of going against a larger named corporation but what people fail to realize is that when they are in the right of the law, they have nothing to fear so long as they have the right kind of knowledgeable, reputable help that takes no side but that of the righteous and deserving. If you or someone you know has been devastated by something of this nature, do not hesitate to contact legal aid immediately.Read More
The Importance of Acting Quickly after an Injury
Everybody's got something they strive towards – goals, ambitions, and dreams. For a lot of people, this can mean pursuing a higher education. Some people want to travel and go on marvelous adventures throughout the world and experience all its wonder. Some people want to be able to purchase a home and start a family. There are many different goals that people might aspire towards – and that, in itself, can be difficult enough as it is, with all of the hard work that is necessary in order to get anywhere in life. But what if something happens that suddenly turns all those dreams to dust, all those goals to graves?
It can be one of the most devastating situations to be in – to be made so helpless from unfortunate circumstances, to have everything you have worked towards suddenly become impossible, to be thrust so far away from your comfort zone and not of your own volition. This kind of scenario is ever more crippling if the victim was completely innocent to the action of negligence that had ended up costing so much. And this kind of scenario, according to the Abel Law Firm website, is one that can be classified as a case of personal injury.
Injuries sustained through situations like this can be severe and have effects beyond those of a physical nature. The medical expenses required – medications or procedures that might be involved in the treatment toward recovery – can be quite costly, and if the victim in question was the primary income earner of the family, then there is also the financial security that is threatened by this situation due to the loss of wages. According to the website of the Oklahoma personal injury lawyers at the Abel Law Firm, the mental and emotional charge from these scenarios can be cripplingly stressful but delaying legal action could be detrimental to getting due recompense from the guilty party, as there is often a statute of limitations that surrounds whatever subset or subsets of personal injury that the victim's case so happens to fall in to.
That is why it is so important to act quickly, effectively, and efficiently in scenarios such as this.Read More
Surviving and Thriving after a Serious Construction Injury
This is a dangerous world that we live in. Due to ever-increasing technological advancements, there are towering structures that people from only a hundred years ago – in the thousands, millions of years that humans have been on this earth – would have deemed impossible. Cures for then-incurable diseases, professions and rights that were then unheard of are now commonplace instead of fanciful fiction. However, with these new advancements there are new man-made dangers, and the dangers that have made men pose risks to others due to simple negligence. Incidents like this are ones that are handled under the legal jurisdiction of personal injury.
According to the website of attorneys with the law firm Habush Habush & Rottier S.C. ®, personal injury cases are hardly ever straightforward due to the plethora of pleas that are possibly present with every case. It is a broad topic, this type of lawsuit, and it branches out into several different categories such as medical malpractice, premises liability, car accidents, explosion accidents, et cetera. One such of these more complicated cases are those ones involving construction site accidents.
A lot of the complaints with regard to construction site accidents are those who work as construction workers as it is. Lawyers for construction accident cases with the offices of Hach and Rose, LLP state on their website that a lawsuit like this can turn into a cocktail of different personal injury cases. This can include disability (either temporary or permanent) cases, spinal cord injury, or even traumatic brain injury. If the worker in question was exposed to toxic chemicals that should have been the responsibility of the employer to have known, then that is premises liability in effect.
Victims of these kinds of situations are entitled to compensation for their physical injuries as well as the financial expense that this kind of injury could make a person endure during this time. Sometimes, it is not quite as easy as 1, 2, 3 – and it is sometimes this stressful, arduous process that turns people off from pursuing legal action. That is why it is of the utmost importance that if you or someone you know has been injured in a construction site accident, an attorney is contacted immediately in order to be informed of the best possible move to make in this kind of situation.Read More
Fighting Injuries Caused by Negligence: It's Your Choice
The ability to choose for yourself is one ability a lot of people can take for granted until they lose it. Some are content with simply playing it safe, allowing their paths and lives to be chosen for them – unaware that this is a choice in itself. There is freedom in being able to choose. From the little things like what you want to eat for breakfast or what to wear, to the bigger things like if you should go to college or not, or move abroad to pursue a passion. People's lives are defined by the choices they make – and sometimes, in very unfortunate circumstances, people suffer the consequences of a choice made by someone else.
This is the fate of the victims of accidents or situations that are a result of negligence, either made with or without malicious intent. A simple thing such as slipping on an improperly labeled floor can mean an incurable spinal cord injury, rendering a man paraplegic for the rest of his life. Something as inconsequential like crossing the road can mean the loss of a lover, a father, a friend – if there is a reckless driver on the loose. These situations – and many more like them – can be classified as cases of personal injury.
A Houston personal injury lawyer would probably inform you that an accident of this nature can cost dearly, both literally and figuratively. The medical expenses can be debilitating and the stress that the victim and the victim's family can be put under can be quite extreme. But not only that, the injuries that are sustained through such a catastrophe can leave more than scars as some victims end up paralyzed, disfigured, or disabled. This is enough to cause trauma as well as depression – but more than anything, it withholds the luxury of choice. So much possibility is instantaneously swiped away by the choice to be neglectful and it can be one met with the choice to pursue legal action, for justice and closure's sake.
If you or someone you know has been injured in an accident due to negligence, it is recommended that a personal injury lawyer is contacted immediately. In the end, it's your choice.Read More
Getting Married is Easy; Divorces are Not
The process of getting married is relatively simple, at least for heterosexual people. The couple simply signs a piece of paper and that's it, they're done. It is the procedures that involve the legal separation of this married couple that can be quite difficult to the point of it being immensely overwhelming, especially if the parties involved neglecting to sign prenuptials prior to their marriage.
According to the website of Alexander & Associates, the process of divorce can equate to more than just two people not wanting to be married to each other anymore. There are also their properties and belongings that need to be taken into consideration, ever more so if the couple has children as these variables need to be divided among the pair of them too, and ruled over by a judge. This procedure can go on for a prolonged period of time before matters can be settled, whereas marriages are a done deal with a single day. That difference can mean a lot of stress and pain for both parties involved, more so than they already have to deal with.
There are several different kinds of divorce and the many variables that surround these procedures can be overwhelming. After all, a case of divorce can be stressful and quite emotionally charged – especially if the pair are at disputes with one another, with regard to the divorce agreement. There are many records and facts that can tip the scales of a divorce hearing, such as criminal records. If one of the parties has a criminal charge on record, according to the website of Marshall & Taylor PLLC, there is an immense probability that there will be added difficulties with regard to things like child custody.
When looking for a lawyer to represent a divorce case, it is imperative that you work with people who are knowledgeable in the field as well as sensitive and compassionate towards the case involved, especially if there are children in the surrounding equation. If you or someone you know is considering getting a divorce, it is well advised for them to seek a legal team of a certain repute, to be ensured that their case will go as smoothly and as stress-free as possible.Read More

Yesterday at the American Academy of Neurology (AAN) conference, my focus was on the imaging technologies available to our neurologic team. We all know about Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) but I had no idea of the other parts of MRI that are involved
Tesla (magnetic ratings) of the MRI machines range from T-1 through experimental T-7 strengths. Names like Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI), Functional MRI (FMRI), Magnetization Transfer Ratio (MTR), FLAIR, and 3-Dimentional Double Inversion recovery (3d DIR) lead me to believe that I might be on the verge of learning loads of new information about what that MRI can tell my docs.
If anything a term new to me, "MRI/Clinical Paradox" seems to be enhanced, not reduced, by these deeper more clear looks inside our brains.
This paradox basically states that: white matter lesions correlate very little with disability load and we see them very well with MRI. Gray matter activity (lesion and atrophy) are poorly observable but greatly related to disability and disease progression. While MRI and its various partners are the best tools our health care providers have to look into our brains while we are living, these tools show as little as three percent and only as much as 38 percent of the gray matter lesions in comparison to white matter while we're alive.
Even, in fact, when much higher magnets are used ex vivo (studies of tissue after death) for periods of time which could never be used on live patients, less than 40 percent of deep tissue disease activity can be detected (extensive slice-and-dice microscopic analysis of tissue proves these points). So, in the clinical setting (setting aside the research aspects for now) how important is the MRI?
When you've got so many investigators trying to answer the same question there is much consternation to try and answer that. Certainly there seems to be emphasis on using the MRI the first 5 years of disease after diagnosis. After that, the MRI is really nothing more than a tracker. You may be asking, "What is it before being a tracker?"
Well, remember a few weeks ago when we talked about factors that may help predict MS? It seems that (and this is most important for the newly diagnosed among us) there are more and more predictive factors of what MS may (and at this point that "may" cannot be understated) look like in the future.
I would also like to mention that the amount of gray matter involvement in MS is far greater than any of us were lead to believe. Not that we were erroneously led astray by our clinicians but rather that this part of the science is evolving so quickly.
After three days of this AAN conference I have learned one thing for sure; I'll be writing about information gleaned here for far longer than the week of this program.
One last thing for today. I've been overwhelmed by the number of our former MS Webcast guests whom have been presenters at this conference. The producers of our programs have and continue to gather the finest minds in the world to answer your questions on our programs.
Live from the AAN, this is Trevis Gleason signing off for today.
Wishing you and your family the best of health.

Washington (CNN) - What a difference two months makes.
In late November and early December, in the wake of Chris Christie's landslide re-election victory, the Republican governor from New Jersey was riding high in the polls.
Follow @politicaltickerFollow @psteinhausercnn
Christie topped the other potential GOP 2016 White House hopefuls in surveys of Republicans' choice for their next presidential nominee, and he was knotted up with Hillary Clinton in hypothetical general election showdowns.
Now, after month of intense media scrutiny over a couple of controversies in his state, Christie's numbers have faded, according to a new CNN/ORC International survey.
In a possible 2016 matchup with Clinton, the poll indicates Christie trails the former secretary of state by 16 percentage points, with Clinton at 55% and the Governor at 39% among registered voters nationwide. That's a dramatic switch from December, when Christie held a 48%-46% edge over Clinton.
"Christie has also lost ground among independents, who were the key to his strong showing late last year," says CNN Polling Director Keating Holland. "Christie got 59% support among Independents in December. Now that has dropped to 39%."
Race for GOP nomination
The survey released Monday indicates that the hunt for the GOP nomination is back to where it was before Christie's rise in the polls late last year: a pack of potential White House contenders with no obvious frontrunner.
But according to the poll, there is a new name on top of the list in hunt for the GOP nomination: Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, a 2008 Republican presidential candidate.
Fourteen percent of Republicans and independents who lean toward the GOP say they would likely support Huckabee for their party's nomination if he runs.
Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky is next at 13% followed by former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush and Christie tied at 10%.
Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin, the House Budget Committee chairman and 2012 GOP vice presidential nominee, and Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida are tied at 9%.
One point behind are Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas and longtime Texas Gov. Rick Perry. Former Sen. Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania, a 2012 GOP presidential candidate, stands at 4%.
That's a change from November, when Christie was 11 points ahead of the rest of the field. Huckabee was not tested in the November survey.
Christie is facing allegations that some of his aides closed access lanes to the George Washington Bridge in Fort Lee last September to punish that town's mayor for not endorsing his re-election.
Separately, Hoboken's Democratic mayor alleges that Superstorm Sandy recovery aid for her hard-hit city was dependent on support for a development project backed by the governor – an assertion denied by top Christie officials.
"Because Huckabee was not included in the November poll, any drop in Christie's support among Republicans may be partly due to Huckabee as well as recent news stories. So it's impossible to calculate exactly how much support Christie lost as a result of the bridge controversy. But it's a pretty safe bet that the drop in Christie's support against Clinton is due to the recent news stories about the bridge," added Holland.
For all his problems, Christie matches up better against Clinton in the CNN poll than any other possible GOP contender tested. Clinton has a 20-point, 57%-37%, lead over Bush, an 18-point, 57%-39%, advantage over Paul, a 17-point, 56%-39%, lead over Huckabee, and a 55%-40% advantage over Ryan.
Clinton in strong polling position
Clinton says she'll decide whether to make a second run for the White House by the end of the year. If she does launch a candidacy, just about every poll indicates she would start her campaign as the overwhelming front runner to win the Democratic nomination.
According to the CNN poll, seven of 10 Democrats and independents who lean toward the party say they'd be likely to support Clinton as their nominee, with 15% likely to support a more conservative Democrats and one in 10 more likely to back a more liberal candidate.
"The CNN poll did not name specific Democrats who might run against Clinton, in part to test whether Clinton's strong position is due to dislike or unfamiliarity with the standard roster of potential Democratic candidates," says Holland. "The fact that Clinton tests so well against generic rivals is is a strong indication that Democrats are not shopping around, hoping that another candidate will throw his or her hat into the ring."
While Christie deals with the bridge and Sandy funding controversies, Clinton continues to deal with the September 2012 killing of the U.S. ambassador to Libya and three other Americans in an attack in Benghazi, Libya. The attacks came during her watch as secretary of state, and some Republicans have Clinton heavily over the attack and its aftermath.
But according to the poll, 62% approve of the job she did at the State Department, down 4 points from December 2012, a month before Clinton stepped down as American's top diplomat.
Nine in 10 Democrats and just over six in 10 independents said they approve of the job she did as secretary of state. That approval drops to 29% among Republicans.
The CNN poll was conducted by ORC International January 31-February 2, with 1,010 adults nationwide questioned by telephone. The survey's overall sampling error is plus or minus three percentage points.
I wonder how much it would have cost Clinton to hire a private PR firm to slander Christie. CNN should send her a bill.
Clinton said long ago she is not running.
If you don't like Obama ........ DON'T VOTE FOR CLINTON ! Do you think Bill was really the President? She ran the show and we all know how that turned out. Please, think before you support her.
I just polled myself for the most qualified candidate.
All the usual suspects lost.
But then I had a moment of inspiration and called Cher.
She told me to shut up.
Good grief. The next presidential election is over 2 years away. A lot can change in that time including the candidates.

Let's say, perhaps, that you are already forwarding your web traffic through an SSH/SOCKS tunnel at work (for privacy reasons that have absolutely no relation to accessing blocked sites LOL!) and you would like to use that same tunnel on your iPhone/iPod Touch. This is actually pretty easy to accomplish.
First, you need to make sure the SOCKS tunnel on your work computer allows LAN connections so your iPhone/iPod Touch can connect to it. To do this, you simply need to add
-g to your existing SSH command (something like
ssh -N -g -D 1080 [email protected]).
Most people think you can't connect to a SOCKS proxy from an iPhone/iPod Touch without jailbreaking it but the truth is you can. You simply have to create a Proxy Auto-Config (PAC) file, insert the function below in it (replace the x's with your IP and the y's with the port you used after the
-D in your SSH command), and save it to a web accessible place with a .pac extension. If you're reading this chances are you know how to serve a file over HTTP on your work LAN, so I won't delve into that.
Finally, on your iPhone/iPod Touch, go to Settings > Wifi and click the blue arrow to the right of your work network, scroll to the bottom, click Auto and type in the address to your PAC file (e.g. http://192.168.xx.xx/mysupersecretproxy.pac).
Congrats! Now you can surf the web securely from your iPhone/iPod touch ;)
- function FindProxyForURL(url, host) {
- return "SOCKS 192.168.xx.xx:yyyy";
- }

iPhone + SSH Tunnel + Socks Proxy = SUCCESS Very Happy
--> http://thireus.dareyourmind.net/index.php/thireus-home-news/8-general-announcement/109-iphone-ssh-tunnel-socks-proxy-success-d
Thanks for the help :) I'm now able to use my local socks proxy via Wifi/3G/Edge :p and I also created a script that recreate the tunnel if the connexion has been lost ;)

Hi I have created my socks proxy on localhost and port 1080. I put return "SOCKS 127.0.0.1:1080" in my function and I created the pac file and put it in /usr/users/alibozorgkhan/library. I can put my internet connection behind my socks proxy in my laptop but when I share my lan connection via wireless, my Ipod is not behind it. I set proxy "http://mysharedwirelessip(169.254.32.196)/proxy.pac" but still I don't have proxy on my ipod. What should I do? thanx alot

Any chance a modification of this would allow a iPxd with wifi to connect to a iPhone with the latest Handy Light app that allows tethering?
- Posted By: ProfChaos on December 4, 2013
Thanks for this great post. However, it seems that the DNS lookup will still be done on the client, that can cause some problems. How can I set the DNS lookup to be performed on the proxy server too? Many thanks!

I am trying to run .portal file using "Run on server" option in Workshop for weblogic.
After doing this, its trying to start the server Oracle weblogic server v10.3 at localhost and then publish my module.
Server view status shows as "State" as "Starting" and "Status" as "Synchronizing". When status reaches 82% it gets stopped there for a long time, and when 83% comes up, I can see the "State" as "Stopped" and "Status" as "Republish". And then an error window with title as "Problem Occured" and contents saying, Starting server- Oracle weblogic server v10.3 at localhost (Time of error: ...)

I even tried to clean build the portal project and publish using clean option. Still same problem coming
FYI, my system is having 1 GB RAM only and bit slow. Could this be a problem or something else? Please suggest.
Thanks in advance.

Yea, some of these things you can find out about in the special features.
Yeah, that reminds me of the crosses Night has on all of the doors. The pattern in the door at first looks quite normal, but upon closer inspection, it's a big cross. That also happens to be the last image from the movie.
Yea, there are lots of things like that in Shyamalan's films. He's just that kind of director. Each time I watch one of his films, I'm always looking for something new, or something hidden in the shot.

Five area schools have new principals
by Richard Creaser
Five area schools will have new principals to start the 2013-2014 school year. Brighton Elementary has perhaps the most radical change in store as Denise Russell not only takes over as principal but is joined by ten other new hires.
In interviews over the past few weeks, the newly hired principals each touched on part of a recurring theme — community. The small size of the towns creates not only the school's biggest weakness but also its greatest strength. Small towns sometimes have fewer resources, but they also often have a greater sense of community and often enjoy more involvement by parents and townspeople than larger towns and cities do.
Two of these administrators will be familiar to some of the students. Robert Midi returns to Newport City Elementary to serve as interim principal for the coming school year. Mr. Midi had previously spent 18 years as the school's chief administrator. In Albany Todd Rivver, a former teacher there, returns to provide leadership following the retirement of Jill Chaffee.
In Brighton, Deborah Ahrens returns after a one-year absence to teach grades one and two, Chris Lawson arrives to teach middle school math, Tammy Wise to teach middle school language arts, Beth Rodondi to teach middle school science, Carolyn Mader will teach music, and Kevin Smith joins the team as a special educator. Linda Beaumier, Brittany Gonyaw and Dana Jacobs arrive as paraeducators and O. Ray Willey is the school's newest bus driver.
Eric Erwin, former assistant principal at Newport City Elementary, takes the helm at Lakeview Union School in Greensboro. Kelli Dean, former assistant principal at Barton Academy and Graded School, takes leadership of Holland Elementary.
Despite the many changes in store for the coming school year, what remains the same is that all five principals are fully committed to the task of providing a quality education for the region's children.
"Creating the best possible learning environment is always the bottom line," Mr. Midi said. "That's always the goal."
Creating that perfect environment starts with a school's administration, Mr. Erwin said. Not only must the principal oversee the educational needs of his students but also address the development of his staff and serve to educate the public as well, he said.
"To a large extent the principal is a public servant," Mr. Erwin said. "I need to be able to educate the public about the operation of the school, the needs of the school and explain how gaining the resources necessary to meet those needs will affect the education we can provide. I feel that if I give people the information they need to make well-informed decisions they are better positioned to make the best choices for their children."
Determining what is best for a community's children is not an easy task. Opening lines of communication is the first step to assessing and understanding the kind of school a community wants to have. In many rural communities, the school occupies a critical place in the fabric of that town.
"It's about creating an environment that invites involvement," Ms. Russell said. "I want people to be able to come to me and let me know what they think is important."
Getting people involved in their school involves demonstrating an understanding of the nature of a community. To that end, Ms. Dean feels she can relate to the people of Holland, having grown up in the Northeast Kingdom and lived in many similar communities.
"I can understand the role the school has in small communities because I've lived in it, I've worked in it myself," Ms. Dean said. "I'm sensitive to the needs of our small schools."
That basic understanding will be important as Ms. Dean leads Holland Elementary in the next year. Voters defeated the school budget at Town Meeting primarily out of a frustration over a lack of connection to the school. Ms. Dean has vowed to build and repair those bridges that divide the school community from the rest of the town.
"I can't do it alone," she said. "Luckily I have a school board that is also working to make those connections. Holland School is the center of this community, and people certainly want to know that their tax dollars are being used well."
Making those connections is part of the joy of being the administrator in a small school. Those connections inevitably begin with the students in your care, Mr. Midi said.
"Even in a community the size of Newport you can make connections to the wider community through the students," he said. "The children have aunts, uncles, grandparents, a whole host of people they are related to. You can reach those people providing the kind of educational environment that gets the kids excited and talking about what happened in school today. The word gets out pretty quickly."
Mr. Erwin is particularly grateful for the amount of support he has already received from the community. Greensboro and Stannard, the two communities served by Lakeview Union, have proven particularly interested in their school community, he said.
"But I can't take their interest for granted. If I want to maintain that relationship, I need to get out there, meet people and keep them interested in what's happening here."
The close knit nature of small towns is conducive to building relationships, Mr. Rivver agreed. Daily interactions both at and outside of the school provide an opportunity to keep community members engaged.
"Part of it is enthusiasm," Mr. Rivver said. "People can tell when you are passionate about something and they respond to that. We're not building iPods or engines, we're educating children, and what can be more important than that?"
While a small community can facilitate engagement, small communities also have a small tax base which creates a challenge for administrators. The budgeting process is one area where community involvement is particularly important.
"When you have limited resources you want to make sure that you make the best possible use of those resources," Ms. Russell said. "We need to make education relevant to the present and future needs of our children and our community. Sometimes we are trying to teach them skills we don't even know exist yet. It's about preparing them to be effective learners."
Technology is one of those ways to expand learning opportunities and, if done well, can do so with limited effect on the bottom line.
"Island Pond is somewhat isolated because of its geography, but it doesn't have to be," Ms. Russell said. "If we use technology well, we can provide our students with the same kinds of opportunities afforded students in New York City."
How to implement that technology is one area where understanding a community's values is particularly important, Mr. Erwin said. To some people schools are seen as a protective force against outside influences.
"Technology has exposed our children to a lot of influences, a lot of information that can be both good and bad," Mr. Erwin said. "Our job is to help them make the distinction between the two. It's the duty of schools to help students use and understand the technology."
Ms. Dean is in a unique position among all of the new principals. Her position is defined as 80 percent principal and 20 percent fifth- and sixth-grade social studies teacher. While that distinction may be reflected in the division of her salary, it becomes less obvious in practice.
"I am going to devote the time necessary to make sure that I accomplish both roles 100 percent," Ms. Dean said. "I think it will be a good combination, allowing me to keep fingers in all of the pies. I love teaching and I think that it will actually be re-energizing to get the opportunity to interact with the kids in the classroom."
Ms. Dean also hopes that by creating a bond with students outside of the principal's office, it will help her better understand the needs of students and staff. Building relationships outside of the office is also something that Ms. Russell hopes to accomplish in Brighton.
"Maybe I'll be more approachable with a violin in hand," Ms. Russell, a classically trained violinist, said. "Sometimes you can't always be the principal. Sometimes you need to step outside that role and show a different side."
Showing that other side can be rewarding on many levels, Mr. Rivver said. Sometimes building those relationships can be as easy as getting to know the students by name or greeting them as they come off the school bus in the morning.
"Principals are perceived as the disciplinarian," Mr. Rivver said. "When you build those relationships, establish those connections early on, discipline becomes less of an issue."
Addressing disciplinary issues is invariably founded on establishing respect, Mr. Erwin said. Schools are perfectly positioned to encourage respectful actions and dialogue, he said.
"We're working very hard to teach rules for acceptable behavior," Mr. Erwin said. "But it is a challenge because when you look at adult role models, politicians in particular, you don't see that. You don't see them talking it out in a respectful way."
Mr. Midi offered some words of wisdom to his new administrative colleagues. In order to earn the trust and the respect of their community, they must be willing to clearly establish what they stand for and exhibit a willingness to follow it through.
"People trust you for your word and that's very important in a small community," Mr. Midi said. "If people know what to expect, know what you stand for, even if people don't always agree with it, trust is formed. Don't just say it, live it."
Mr. Midi also encourages members of the community to remain involved and engaged with their local school. While the principal is there to listen to your concerns, the school board is also able to voice those concerns on your behalf.
"We need to hear those voices, especially during the planning and budgeting process," Ms. Dean agreed. "It's hard to know what everyone values. It can't just be my vision, it has to be a vision based on what we all agree is best for the kids."
Lakeview Union School will have a special meet and greet with Mr. Erwin at the school on August 23 at 3 p.m. Brighton Elementary will have a back-to-school picnic for students and parents at the school on August 26 at 5:30 p.m.

Grownups Are Worried About The Chronic
In the olden days, your parents used to smoke weed that was not chemically distinguishable from banana peels, which gave them a "hippy dippy" feeling, the most dangerous side effect of which was an affinity for neo-folk tunes. Today, you kids smoke chronic and shoot each other, or at least make up "freestyle raps" about same.
So naturally, as Inside Higher Ed reports, responsible adults on college campuses are fretting about what to do about kids and their chronic, because look, in their day it was all in good fun, but now your chronic is literally four times stronger than their Oaxaca ditch weed was, and next thing you know, everyone is acting like Chet Haze.
So what is the solution, to get through to you high, high kids? The number of different drug education and weed-discouragement programs that schools are trying would fill... this lengthy article, at least! But amidst all the assurances that, haha, we can all laugh at Reefer Madness, is this:
According to the University of Michigan's Monitoring the Future survey, while the percentage of students who have ever used marijuana is declining (and currently hovers a little below 50 percent), about 5 percent are daily users, and that number is on the rise. (Just under 20 percent reported using in the past month; that number has been stable for several years.)
Practically nobody is even blazing any more! Kids these days don't know about the chronic.

Intimate, natural-sounding dialogue in a sold-out theater. Crisp, intelligible announcements in a packed stadium. Exhilarating lights and music at an outdoor summer festival. A stirring sermon reaching every corner of a cavernous church.
Sounds like the work of Clear Sound - the Delaware Valley's best full-service audio, video and lighting company.
When Hatboro-Horsham School District needed to upgrade the audio system in the high school's auditorium, they chose Clear Sound to install the new system. Milt Kunz, theater director and project coordinator, said the installation team's "greatest skills were the ability to listen to our conversations to pick out the priorities and needs of our house.
Each year, all over the country, more than 300,000 people get together with friends, family and co-workers for the MS Walk sponsored by the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. The Walks raise money for research, provide services to those affected by MS and to raise awareness. And every year, in Philadelphia, Clear Sound is there to provide audio support for the event.
The Griffin Complex at Gwynedd Mercy University is home to the Men's and Women's Basketball and Volleyball teams. The Complex hosted exciting competitions and distinguished graduations, but the attendees had a hard time hearing what was happening.

Bad Packets: SNMP risk? Neil Diamond knew
SNMP on the rocks... ain't no big surprise. Okay, maybe you were surprised at the recent CERT warning about security holes in the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP).
On Tuesday, my girlfriend, who is well under 60, demanded that we attend a Neil Diamond concert. And so we did.
I had been dreading this event because of the following lyrics from Diamond's 1971 hit "I Am, I Said," which go as follows:
"I am!" I said
To no one there
And no one heard at all
Not even the chair.
Now, I'm the type of guy who cannot listen to these words without a hideous grimace contorting my features as I attempt to stymie what might be -- what surely would be -- politically incorrect laughter.
On this occasion my stymie algorithm did not succeed. Mr. Diamond overwhelmed it by having a stool brought onto stage with him and delivering his song to it.
Despite my best efforts to think about other things, all I could imagine was an SNMP-savvy chair, which could indeed listen, and subsequently respond to a chair administrator with a status update, thus:
I'm good... I'm good... I'm good... Neil Diamond has concluded that he exists... He's telling me about it... I'm pretending I can't hear... I'm ignoring him... He's giving up... He's stopping... I'm good... I'm good...
The irony is of course that the same day, February 12, CERT released an advisory stating in no uncertain terms that SNMP, never considered a particularly secure protocol as protocols go, was now known to be quite vulnerable to attack.
It appears that in the second half of last year, researchers at Oulu University in Finland, in an attempt to verify the fundamental integrity of basic network operations there, discovered that SNMP was susceptible to assault -- that SNMP-aware devices could sometimes be brought down remotely, and far worse, that in some cases rogue code could actually then be installed and executed on them.
Who's affected? Practically everybody. The list of vendors who are currently shipping products that feature SNMP includes almost every blue-chip name on the list: 3Com, Caldera, Cisco Systems, Compaq, Hewlett Packard, IBM, Juniper Networks, Sun Microsystems, Microsoft, Lucent, Nokia and Network Associates, among others.
Do you use anything from those guys? Oh yes, you certainly do.
It's pretty obvious the S in SNMP doesn't stand for secure. In fact it stands for Simple, of course -- an adjective, which at once explains the protocol's widespread popularity and current vulnerability. Therein lies the underlying design flaw in the security architecture of many of today's best-known protocols: They were often designed as quick and dirty answers to an immediate need, but have since been deployed as industrial-strength corporate solutions.
In the case of SNMP, this problem is compounded specifically because it's so old and so well established. SNMP has actually been around as long as some of the hackers who might attack it today -- almost fourteen years. Newer versions exist, but most of the installed base is still at version one. And version one is really all about basic reporting functionality, not encryption and authentication.
This looks bad in today's security-conscious arena, but on the other hand, SNMP has never before been at the heart of a serious security problem. And so vendors, trusting that the protocol isn't going to lead to grief, have rolled it into their firmware and operating systems for years.
Until now, nobody's thought of SNMP as a weak point in the chain of net security largely because the data it involves simply isn't mission-critical. If Neil Diamond's chair stops reporting its status, the show still goes on.
But (to pursue this metaphor further than is really wise) the show is clearly going to be in a certain amount of trouble if a hacker can compromise the chair from a thousand miles away and install an invisible whoopee cushion of his own sinister design.
This isn't pretty, folks. If you have SNMP devices -- and you do -- you're going to need to move quickly if you want to head off the possibility of a protocol-level attack that could result in downed routers, switches, Web servers, and other hardware solutions that are absolutely mission-critical to your operations. While in the past this column has typically focused on security failures as an unfortunate consequence of one particular company's shortcomings in software design, this is bigger and badder than all the other security issues I've written about combined.
Here's what you can do: Get and install the stream of forthcoming patches from vendor sites. Filter out unusual internal SNMP traffic. Give a hard look to shutting down SNMP on those devices for which monitoring won't really be that essential for the next few days, but also be aware of this critical line from the CERT advisory:
"Unfortunately, some of the affected products exhibited unexpected behavior or denial of service conditions...even if SNMP was not enabled."
If you're pressed for time, consider shutting down the devices themselves.
And don't forget that Neil Diamond saw it all coming in 1971.

One year, I got an Easy-Bake oven as a birthday gift, and my mother was actually perplexed when I wanted to use it. She told me that it made no sense, trying to bake little mini cakes on a lightbulb. After one or two uses, the toy mysteriously disappeared. So if I wanted to bake something, I'd have to resort to looking up the recipe in my dad's well-worn copy of "The Joy of Cooking" and using the real oven.
When the subject of baking came up, she would tell the story about how, for one of my birthdays, she labored over frosting a Bert and Ernie cake for an ungodly amount of time. The cake was, indeed, beautiful. But she always left out the part where the cake itself was made from a mix, and how the beautiful frosting tasted exactly like food coloring.
When the other kids' moms brought in cupcakes for their birthdays, I was excited. I love cupcakes. But when it was my turn, I begged and pleaded for Munchkins. Trust me, it was safer -- and better.
Then there was one time, in 7th grade, when I had to make some kind of dessert for a school project, and do a demonstration of how it was made. She actually had me make rum balls. I got in trouble. She thought it was funny. In retrospect, I'm surprised that I didn't get suspended.
In all honesty, there were a couple of things she baked well. Cream puffs and cannoli were her specialties. Actually, now that I think about it, I think she used pre-baked shells for the cannoli, and just made the filling. For her kids, she made really good M&M cookies -- mostly because the recipe was on the back of the package and it's pretty much foolproof.
Anyway, one of the best things about this hotel is that, every day, it puts out cookies for the guests. More often than not, they're chocolate chip, or chocolate with white chips. Sometimes they're coconut or peanut butter or white chocolate cherry. Today they were M&M cookies -- just like my mom's.
The M&M cookies are still my favorite.

By Jennifer Hudson Taylor
When are you ready?
1. When writing fiction, you don't want to pitch until you've completed at least one book.
Nonfiction proposals or articles can be pitched as long as you have a solid concept of your idea.
2. When you know you want to be published.
3. Do your research on the conference and know which editors and agents are going to be there. Visit their websites, try to find out what they like and dislike. What kind of works have they recently purchased? What are they acquiring?
4. You may not want to set up an appointment if there are only two editors and both are acquiring contemporaries and all you've written is a historical.
Pitch: Is a one-two sentence description of your story.
A pitch should contain four elements:
1. Two Main Characters
2. Goal
3. Conflict
4. Goal + Conflict = Hook
When meeting with an editor or agent in a one-on-one interview, be prepared to discuss the main plot points in your story, as well as goals and motivations of your characters.
What to bring
1. Business cards
2. Sell-sheets or One-sheets
3. First five pages of manuscript (do not show unless they request it)
What to Expect
At conferences they schedule editors and agents all day long with back-to-back 10-15 minute appointments. You will want to arrive 5-10 minutes early to get in line. If a prayer room is available, you might want to visit it ahead of time.
1. Dress like you're going into an interview, but be comfortable
2. Be professional
3. Introduce yourself and ask them how they are doing. Treat them like an individual
4. You can take note cards with you, but you shouldn't read from them. This gives them the impression that you're not as familiar with your work as you should be.
5. Make eye contact. Talk to them like you're chatting with them. You don't want to sound so rehearsed that you remind them of a used car salesman.
6. There will be a monitor who will be keeping time. The monitor will tell everyone in the room that they have 1-2 minutes left. When this happens, wrap up the conversation and move on so you don't take time away from the next person and put the editor behind schedule.
Possible Scenarios
If you only have one proposal, and they aren't interested, what should you do?
1. Ask them what other genres they are looking for.
2. If you have time, chat with them and spend a few minutes getting to know them. After a while their eyes begin to glaze over from hearing one rehearsed pitch after another.
3. If an editor gives you ideas on how to improve your plot, please be courteous and listen. Ask if they would be willing to look at a proposal if you make their suggested revisions.
What if you have more than one project and you don't know which one to pitch in your allotted time?
1. Tell them the categories you've written such as (contemporary, a Scottish Medieval, Regency, young adult, children's book, etc.) Then ask them which one they would prefer to discuss.
2. Or choose the one that you feel is written the best or closer to being finished.
3. The editor or agent will guide you in their interests.
Editors and agents will ask questions. Examples include:
1. Why did you write this story?
2. Do you have any other stories or ideas?
3. Can you expand this into a series?
4. If we publish it, how do you plan to market it?
1. Leave your business card, even if they do not ask to see your proposal.
2. Make note if they ask for a query letter, proposal, or the complete. Send them exactly what they ask for and nothing more and nothing less.
3. If they refuse your sell-sheets, don't force it on them.
4. Thank them for their time. Be sure to walk away with a smile.

LONDON, April 12 (Reuters) - BTG's Varisolve treatment for varicose veins has been accepted for review by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, putting it on track for potential approval and launch during the first half of 2014.
The speciality pharmaceutical company is relying on the injectable, foam-based treatment to consolidate its transformation from a company that buys up patents and licenses them out into one marketing its own products.
BTG, which said on Friday that standard FDA review timelines suggested a decision in the first half of next year, has previously said global sales of Varisolve could reach $500 million a year.
Shares in the British group, which also sells snake anti-venom and enjoys royalties from Johnson & Johnson's prostate cancer drug Zytiga, were 1 percent higher by 0715 GMT.

A new white paper written by Scott Ambler and Mark Lines, Disciplined Agile Delivery: An Introduction, is now available free of charge from IBM.com. The paper overviews the Disciplined Agile Delivery (DAD) process framework, a hybrid comprised of strategies from Scrum, XP, Agile Modeling, and other agile methods which is people first, learning oriented, and enterprise aware. DAD is the basis from which you can scale agile.
Topics covered:
- Context counts – The Agile Scaling Model
- People first – People, and the way they interact with each other, are the primary determinant of success for a solution delivery project.
- Learning-oriented – The DAD process framework promotes the ideas that team members should collaborate closely and learn from each other, that the team should invest effort to learn from their experiences and evolve their approach, and that individuals should do so as well.
- Hybrid – DAD adopts and tailors strategies from Scrum, XP, Agile Modeling, UP, Kanban, and many others. It addresses many of the issues Mark Kennaley discusses in SDLC 3.0.
- IT solution focused – DAD teams produce potentially consumable solutions every construction iteration. This extends Scrum's "potentially shippable" strategy to explicitly address usability/consumability plus the fact that we're really delivering full solutions not just software.
- Goal-driven delivery life cycle – The DAD lifecycle is focused on delivery, not just construction. Furthermore it is goals-driven, the DAD process framework suggests various strategies to fulfill those goals but does not prescribe specific practices.
- Risk and value driven – The DAD lifecycle is risk and value driven. It extends Scrum's value-driven lifecycle which produces potentially shippable software each sprint/iteration so that it explicitly includes light-weight milesstones such as ensuring stakeholder consensus as to the scope of the project early in the lifecycle, proving the architecture with working code early in the lifecycle, ensuring sufficient functionality exists before transition, and ensuring production readiness before actual release of the solution.
- Enterprise aware – The DAD process framework promotes the ideas that DAD teams should work closely with theirenterprise architecture groups to ensure they leverage and evolve the existing infrastructure, adopt and follow corporate guidelines, and work to the overall organizational vision. DAD teams are self organizing with appropriate governance.
