It was the generous support of eastern Long Island residents, as well as private donations, that made it possible to have a school, medical clinic, community garden, livestock program, job development program, and the beginning of a productive, integrated community development program in Croix des Bouquet, Haiti, Jonathan Glynn of Sag Harbor said on Tuesday.
Initiated by Wings Over Haiti, the umbrella organization that Mr. Glynn founded after flying supplies into the region following the devastating earthquake in January of 2010, the school will now be its own corporation. "I'm very proud of all the people who gave with their hearts, their hands, and their minds, as well as all the volunteers involved," Mr. Glynn said.
"The Wings over Haiti organization is accomplishing what it set out to do," he said. The school is run by Haitians. Two acres of land have been purchased. There is a clean water filtration plant, and the school has the means to feed 75 to 100 people a day, including students and their parents. "It became obvious when one of our students died," Mr. Glynn said, "that it's ridiculous to try to educate the children there if we can't keep them alive."
The nonprofit corporation will now be a foundation dedicated to specific projects that will include the school, but will not be exclusive to it. "Our goal right from the start was to give children from the most desperate communities in our hemisphere an opportunity to learn, grow, and have healthy lives," he said. "We will continue this work."
Tax-deductible contributions are welcomed, and can be sent to Wings Over Haiti at P.O. Box 192, Sag Harbor 11963.

The Littoral Combat Ship (LCS-1) USS Freedom's first overseas deployment to Southeast Asia has been marred by two more power outages, the U.S. Navy says.
The most recent two this week — including one March 21 — brings the outage total to three, all during the ship's transit from Pearl Harbor to Guam en route to Singapore, says U.S. Pacific Fleet spokesman Darryn James.
The outage problems appear to be similar to those the ship suffered during a deployment in the Atlantic when the vessel was first pressed into Navy service, a source intimately familiar with Freedom operations says.
The first Pacific outage, as the Aviation Week Intelligence Network (AWIN) reported, occurred March 16 (AWIN First, March 20). That outage lasted between 10 and 12 min., says Vice Adm. Richard Hunt, director of Navy staff and head of the special LCS Council of service admirals convened to make the Freedom's deployment and the overall LCS program a success.
The power loss may have been due to water getting into the exhaust system of one of the ship's diesel engine generators, or SSDGs, possibly creating a pressure difference, Hunt told AWIN March 20 during an exclusive interview about the program.
The same day as the interview, James says, the Freedom experienced a second power outage, also apparently related to an SSDG problem, which lasted about 11 min.
The third outage, James says, occurred March 21 and lasted only about 2 min. While the cause of that power loss may also be related to an SSDG problem, he says, that is not certain.
"I wouldn't necessarily link all three incidents," James says. "The circumstances of each interruption will have to be examined by Navsea [Naval Sea Systems Command] and the LCS Program Office. We are confident the team will determine the root causes and, if needed, appropriate fixes."
It is important to note, he says, that the crew acted quickly, professionally and proficiently to deal with the outages and the ship is continuing with its voyage as planned.
"These appear to be growing pains that many of the Navy's first-of-class ships experience," James says. "The ship is still on track and we're still excited about Freedom working with allies and partners in Southeast Asia in the months ahead."
Freedom documents and other Navy sources show continuing reliability issues with diesel engine operations dating back about three years, leading some sources familiar with ship operations to wonder if the Navy should consider replacing the engines with another model.
Indeed, the Freedom and its successor ship — the LCS-3 Fort Worth have had to swap diesel engines more than once in recent years because those engines "burned out" and were overhauled, according to sources familiar with the program.
Hunt says the diesel engine history appears to warrant a review, but he adds there is not enough data to say whether a new model is needed. The problems may be rooted in something other than the engines, he says.

Jan. 7, 2006
As Clint Eastwood once said in the movie The Outlaw Josey Wales sometimes you have to get "plum mad dog mean" if you are going to win the fight ahead.
That's exactly what Lipscomb Lady Bisons point guard Catie Woods did in the closing seconds of Saturday afternoon's Atlantic Sun game with Gardner-Webb. Woods, the Lady Bisons smallest player, drove into traffic in the lane and picked up a foul as bodies collided against bodies.
Woods went to the line with one second on the clock and the game knotted at 51-51. She made the first shot, but missed the second. It didn't matter because she only needed one as the time remaining did not give Gardner-Webb a chance to make any sort of final play.
"Catie took the charge," said Lipscomb coach Frank Bennett. "
The Lady Bisons prevailed 52-51 at Allen Arena.
"We show a level of toughness," said Bennett. "In the second half we were down five points pretty late. We hung in there. We got some stops. We got some rebounds. We had a couple of possessions with good execution. It was just hard to score in this game."
This one was close from the start with Gardner-Webb holding the biggest lead of the game at seven points (35-28) with 13:23 left in the game. The Lady Bisons held the halftime lead at 28-27, but started out slow in the first 6 ½ minutes of the second half as Gardner-Webb went on an 8-0 run capped by a two-pointer from Gardner-Webb's Candyse Kelly.
"That is typical of how we have been early in the season." said Bennett. "We didn't have a good team focus. We will get into sort of a funk in long stretches."
The Lady Bisons refused to give up. Three pointers by Woods and Jillian Partin and a lay-up by Miriam McAlister moved the Lady Bisons into the lead at 39-37.
Kelly would strike again for Gardner-Webb with a 3-pointer at 6:58 to tie the game at 41-41 and again at 5:29 with another 3-pointer to help her team take a 47-45 lead.
Gardner-Webb moved out to a 51-46 lead on a pair of free throws by forward Shamek Smith with 3:33 left to play.
But the Lady Bisons refused to lose with Katie Beth Pate putting in a lay-up at 2:22 to cut the lead to 51-48. Pate stole the ball on the next Gardner-Webb possession at 1:59.Freshman forward Miriam McAlister was fouled while going for the rebound of her own missed lay-up. She hit both of her free throws to cut the Gardner-Webb advantage to 51-50.
Pate grabbed a rebound on Gardner-Webb's end of the floor and was fouled. She went to the line with 1:25 left on the clock, missing her first free throw and making her second to tie the game.
Gardner-Webb held the ball from 1:24 to the eight second mark, but could not get the winning back despite two missed lay-ups and one field goal set up by three offensive rebounds to set the stage for Woods heroics.
"We held them for that time almost without a shot," said Bennett. "We gave up too many second shots during that stretch. To play defense that long and then have Catie Woods take the charge were examples of hanging in and finding a way to win when things aren't going your way.
"Our conference is going to be a battle every game. It is balanced conference. It's good to pick up any win you can."
Another thing not going the Lady Bisons way was the timeout situation. Bennett had one left in the final minutes of the second half.
"On our last time out I told them I was just about out, and that they were going to have to do it on the floor," said Bennett. "They had to do it themselves. Maybe that's what got them going."
Pate posted her second double-double of the season with 13 points and 10 rebounds, both game highs. She also had double-double against Kennesaw State in the first A-Sun game of the season on Dec. 1. Pate also blocked four shots.
"Pate and Woods are very much quality players in key positions," said Bennett. "Katie Beth anchors our defense so much and gets so many defensive rebounds. Catie Woods takes care of the ball. They give us more depth at a couple of key positions."
McAlister added eight points and eight rebounds. Kaleigh Gossman finished with nine points and Woods added eight, including a two-of-two performance from the free throw line.
Gardner-Webb was led by Sequenta Blackmon's 10 points.
After starting out the season with eight straight losses, the Lady Bisons have won back-to-back Atlantic Sun games to even their conference record at 2-2. Their overall record is 2-8. Gardner-Webb slipped to 3-9 overall, 2-3 in the conference.
The Lady Bisons close out their three-game home stand Monday night at 7 in a non-conference game with Savannah State at Allen Arena.
"We have to put this one behind us and focus again on the next game," said Bennett.

Guesskt needed a new other design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 18 designs submitted by 8 freelance designers.
I am having a 3"x8" metal piece engraved to be put on a memorial bench for my french bullddog Huey that passed away. The bench is a wooden bench and sits in a dog run at our company's office. Rather than just having the engraving company layout some words that look crappy and clip art, I wanted to wording and layout to be stylish and custom made. It is being engraved - so no color should be used. It should all just black font.
NA - Memorial Bench Plaque
Design should be made smaller than the 3x8" plaque - (2"x6" - 2.5"x7") approx. as I might cut the metal piece down a bit.
Text that should be included:
In Loving Memory of Huey
Dogs Rule. Forever.
I think I would like a french bulldog incorporated into the design. It can be stylized, abstract, sketchy, or whatever you think works. Less is More. I just want it to be graphically correct and look professional.
I have uploaded a picture of Huey for inspiration. If anyone wants to tackle making the french bulldog look like Huey that would be great too.
Huey was born in Texas, lived in NY, and then passed away in his last home in Los Angeles. He was the sweetest dog - very playful and loved the dog park! He would burst into the dog park at full speed like "I am here - who is ready to play?!". He loved to sleep on you and he would bury himself under any covers or blankets he could find.
I hope that provides some inspiration. :)
Thank you.

Happy New Year & Birthday Reflections
for Cynsations
As a (one-time) New Year's Eve baby, I hereby (finally) declare myself a grown-up lady.
And I figured out something this year about youth.
You don't lose it. You trade it -- for courage, confidence, clarity, earned skills, deeper love, greater faith, grace, forgiveness and a better sense of humor about yourself and your world.
You trade it for the you that you were always meant to be, and all things considered, that's not a bad deal.
Happy New Year!

Would like a web 2.0 style membership rewards style card to be displayed on white website with shadow, slightly smaller than an actual card; Set at possible angle with shadow and then membership contents (text) will follow. The card should look like a membership rewards card, or credit card, very clean, with a false number and name on it....possibly incorporate "member since 2009"...the program is The "PSC Insiders Circle", and the 3 cards will be Platinum, Gold and Silver....these graphics are going to be used on the site for now, rather than printing actual cards (which may be done in the future). Looking for help to really brand this program since we have not had a membership program in the past. I can send some example content in word to anyone that gets close on first attempt, to get it down...this was first idea to help sell the program so if there are some other ideas, we are open.

DragonFly BSD
DragonFly belongs to the same class of operating system as BSD and Linux and is based on the same UNIX ideals and APIs. DragonFly gives the BSD base an opportunity to grow in an entirely different direction from the one taken in the FreeBSD, NetBSD, and OpenBSD series.
The DragonFly project's ultimate goal is to provide native clustering support in the kernel. This involves the creation of a sophisticated cache management framework for filesystem namespaces, file spaces, and VM spaces, which allows heavily interactive programs to run across multiple machines with cache coherency fully guaranteed in all respects. This also involves being able to chop up resources, including the cpu by way of a controlled VM context, for safe assignment to unsecured third-party clusters over the internet (though the security of such clusters itself might be in doubt, the first and most important thing is for systems donating resources to not be made vulnerable through their donation).

Republican Mitt Romney rode a steady and huge voter turnout to an overwhelming victory in Shelby County's vote for president on Tuesday.
Romney, following the performance of John McCain in 2008, soundly defeated President Barack Obama, earning more than 63 percent. Romney carried more the statewide vote as well.
In his loss to Obama in 2008, McCain earned nearly 62 percent of the vote in Shelby County.
Romney's victory was the hallmark of the day that saw 66.6 percent of Shelby County's 28,231 registered voters flock to the polls in the most contentious presidential race since 2000.
Observers and precinct workers saw heavy turnouts starting very early this morning.
Clyde Tharp, a poll worker at the voting precinct at Shelby County Area Technology Center, said at 9 a.m. that nearly 300 already had voted.
"They started lining up before we opened at six o'clock," Penny Reynolds, an election officer at Waddy, said at 7 a.m. "We have been very busy, very steady."
There were longer lines than normal at the Shelby County Fairgrounds and at Stratton Center. At the Todds Point precinct, the turnout surpassed 50 percent by just after 1 p.m., and poll workers there were predicting turnout would reach 80 percent.
Shelby County Clerk Sue Carole Perry had predicted a turnout of about 70 percent based on absentee ballots, but the surge early seemed as if even that mark would be an underestimate.
"When I went to vote this morning, everybody was all fired up, and very enthusiastic," Shelbyville Mayor Tom Hardesty, a Democrat, said. "And it's no wonder. We've got the presidential race, we've got our new congressional district, plus city council and school board. And what's more, it's a just a beautiful day to vote. No one should have any reason why they can't go vote today."
Perry said there were few problems with voting as the day unfolded.
"We had issues this morning, had a hard time getting open because some precinct officers didn't show up," she said. "I prayed real hard last night and this morning both that everything would go well.
"We had another machine that crashed, but we took a spare out there [at Persimmon Ridge]. It's the same place where it broke down in May, at F-106, it was an eSlate this time, instead of an eScan.
"The main thing today is the phone ringing off the wall for all these people that didn't change their address. If they show up somewhere to vote, and their name's not on the book, then they call our office,and we check to see if they are registered in Shelby County, and if they are registered, we have to verify their address, and they have to go vote where ever they live, if they're registered in Shelby County.
"You have to live in a precinct 30 days to vote. I couldn't tell you how many it was. And some of them, when they go to get their driver's license, when they ask them if they want to register to vote, some of them say no and its says in the computer, they declined. And then they want to argue with you.

When the Birds Point/New Madrid levee was blown on May 2, that's exactly what happened.

Currently, James and commission colleagues are closely monitoring river levels and flooding as massive water rushes through the Mid-South's Delta region towards Louisiana.
On Friday morning, James spoke with Delta Farm Press on his way from Vicksburg to a meeting in Baton Rouge. Among his comments:
On current conditions in the Bootheel and the floodway…
"The spillway operation is working as planned. It dropped the river gauges at Cairo, Illinois; Paducah, Hickman, and Smithland, Kentucky; Fulton County levees and it even dropped the stage at New Madrid, Missouri, some."
Any indication when the water will begin to drop in earnest?
"That's the big question. Right now, there's no answer.
"Personally, I'm hoping we can get back in there by the first of July."
You have farm acreage in the floodway. Can you talk about the run-up to the Birds Point levee being blown?
"Fortunately, I only had some temporary structures to move out – wagons and tanks and that type of things.
"But that wasn't the case for everyone. There are homes and farm headquarters in that floodway – folks with their way of life there. And they had to move everything. They had about five days to get that done. As far as I know, everyone was successful in moving their personal possessions and farm machinery out.
"But there are some folks who will suffer major, major damage to their homes, their farm sheds and buildings."
Following the crest
As a member of the Mississippi River Commission, can you talk about having followed the crest downriver? Is that an accurate characterization?
"That is accurate.
"My engagement began (April 28) along with the other members and president of the river commission in preparation for the flood. We had discussions with the Lakes and Rivers divisions. We were also actively engaged with the Northwest Division (which has the authority over the Missouri River) and large locks and dams like Gavins Point.
"All those people in those divisions committed to trying to hold as much water as they possibly could out of the Mississippi River. They did exactly that. They held as much as they could for as long as they could.
"We concentrate on the Kentucky and Barkley flood control reservoirs. But those divisions have many flood control reservoirs up and down their systems. They were holding all the water they could to try and help us prevent the crest at Cairo, Ill., being any higher than it had to be."
More on the Birds Point/New Madrid floodway…
"The (southeast Missouri) floodway is one of many tools used in order to pass down a flood of such magnitude. There are levee setbacks, there are flood control reservoirs, the river channel itself has been trained to handle more water, there are backwater areas that take crest off the river. So, that floodway is just one part of the system.
"And I'll tell you there was a lot of hand-wringing and discussion before that floodway was actually used. I can honestly say there wasn't one person I was with who wanted to use that floodway. It was used as a last resort to help get the flood past the bottleneck area of Cairo, Ill., down to New Madrid."
Current conditions
On flooding in the Mid-South…
"The crest has passed the Memphis area, now. There was flooding damage to homes – but that was backwater. The levees held as they were designed to do.
"As we move into the Yazoo Basin, there is a backwater area with a levee designed to overtop in major floods. That is likely to happen and people will incur much damage in that backwater area.
"A lot of land in that backwater is already planted. I drove that area – from Vicksburg, Miss., to Greenville, Miss. – two days ago. How much goes underwater depends on how much water the crest brings. But a lot of crops will be lost and homes flooded.
"But, again, that's part of the design of the whole (levee) system to bring such a flood safely down."
On Louisiana flooding…
"Farther south, the next major spot is New Orleans. There is a floodway right above New Orleans – Bonnet Carre – designed to be opened to take water out of the river to reduce stages as the crest moves past the city.
For more, see Louisiana flooding: evacuations, massive loss, crop insurance questions.
"Bonnet Carre has already been operated. It is a controlled spillway that can be opened in segments. It is not yet totally open.
"At the Old River structure, the Atchafalaya splits off from the Mississippi River. Down towards the end of that is the Morganza floodway. That floodway may be activated and is designed to protect the mainline levee.
"If the Morganza is used, there are people living there and there are crops. They will suffer from flooding if the spillway is used.
"That's unlike the Bonnet Carre, where there are no structures. The federal government actually owns the land inside that floodway.
"The main point is that the system is designed to carry a major flood through the levees from Cairo, Ill., to the Gulf. The reason we use all the floodways – and they're used in a controlled manner and those in them are given time to get out – is they were unused and a major levee overtopped or broke, there would be people unprepared. In that circumstance, there would be loss of life and much more damage to many more structures.
"Knock on wood, so far we're safely passing the largest flood in our history."
System tweaks?
After seeing this close up, any tweak you'd make to the system?
"I really shouldn't discuss that. That's the president and Congress' role.
"The Mississippi River and Tributaries Project is about 90 percent complete. So, there are areas where the levees aren't yet built to the grade or width they're supposed to be. There are some other structures that aren't complete yet.
"We have the ability to complete them whenever Congress sees fit to appropriate the funds."
What about cost/benefit considerations? Are numbers put before the commission or is it strictly going by the law? In other words: do you consider years worth of crop yields in a spillway versus things like buying out and moving the 3,000 residents of Cairo?
"We don't have that kind of option. The plan for passing the flood is in the Flood Control Act of 1928. There are specific trigger points at which floodways are to be used. Those go off either elevation of water or flow of water.
"When those trigger points are reached, we're pretty much required by law to use them."
Anything else?
"It would be my preference to pass a flood of this size from Cairo, Ill., to the Gulf of Mexico and not have one person with a flooded home or farm. But given the amount of water at this time there's no way to do that.
"The entire stretch must be seen as a system, a plan. We have to trigger the backwater areas and floodways in order to pass that water through the system.
"An example: if we didn't use the Bonnet Carre floodway, the boils and levees would overtop into New Orleans.
"I hate to see floodways have to be used. But it's the only way to get that amount of water to the Gulf while impacting the fewest number of people.
"Right now, we're trying to pass this flood in the lower half of the Mississippi. It's not even halfway yet.
"But even while we're fighting the flood, the commission is trying to figure out, as quickly as possible, how to recover and put the damaged areas back in place. We're working on that as we speak – recovery efforts are already in the works. Hopefully, Congress will agree that needs to be done immediately and we can secure the funds to accomplish that."

It was a blast- mud flying on the turns as they sped around the corners - we were hootin' & hollerin' as each car passed!! We positioned ourselves along one of the last turns before the checkpoint-we were bound to see some action! We were told that Italians love the curves (turns) much more than silly Nascar where they just drive in circles.
The rally racers work their way across Italy one small town at a time - we were in Mercatello sul Metauro a nearby town & then they hit Piobbico (only 4km from us). They shut down a section of town & the cars fly through! This was our first rally race & since we are becoming Italian we are already planning our next!

The fascination with who will play Christian Grey and Anastasia Steele in the Fifty Shades of Grey movie seems like it will NEVER die down. We're a nation obsessed. And while I'm sure we could mull that casting over for hours, there's another important topic on the table we're forgetting to address: Who will be cast in the biggest supporting roles, as Kate Kavanaugh and Jose Rodriguez?!
Here, three top contenders who we can only hope will catch the producers' eyes and steal their hearts, so we can see them star in the highly anticipated flick ...
As Kate ...
- Blake Lively - Although now a married woman with a glitzy Gossip Girl resume, Blake's only 25, so she's definitely not too old for the role. Plus, she's got that uber-confident attitude and knockout looks to match how E.L. James describes Ana's roomie and BFF. Blake's by far my top pick for the part.
- Dianna Agron - Dianna's already established a brainy, beautiful blonde persona as Quinn on Glee. She also seems very comfortable in her own skin, which is a must for whoever takes on this role. And it would be awesome to see her grow/grow up as an actress by playing Kate.
- Amanda Seyfried - Long gone are the days of Karen Smith, the ditzy blonde in Mean Girls. These days Seyfried is starring in Oscar nom-ed flicks like Les Miserables. So she clearly has the acting chops -- and the stunning look to take on Kate.
For Jose ...
- Michael Trevino - Seems like anyone who stars in The Vampire Diaries is automatically in some Fifty fans' dream cast, but Michael -- who plays Tyler Lockwood on The CW show -- has the charismatic appeal to portray the photographer hopelessly devoted to his good friend Ana.
- Mark Salling - The Glee hottie already seems to have a following backing him up to be cast. Being that we've only seen him as horny Puck, I'm not sure he could be as buttoned-up as Jose needs to be, but he's definitely got potential!
- Diego Boneta - The Mexican singer and actor -- who has recently appeared in Pretty Little Liars, 90210, and Rock of Ages -- was called "the next big thing" by Rock's director and choreographer Adam Shankman. Pretty sure that would be a done deal were he to score the role of Jose, which I could totally see him in!
Who do you most want to see in these key roles?

No education-related topic generates as much controversy these days as the Common Core standards adopted by nearly all states and the District of Columbia. The standards have been debated in York County, in the state legislature, and across the country.
Here's a look at some of the key questions about the Common Core standards.
What is Common Core?
"Common Core" is the shortened term for the Common Core State Standards, a set of academic standards defining what students should learn in English language arts and mathematics from kindergarten through 12th grade.

The standards were developed by the Council of Chief State School Officers and the National Governors Association Center for Best Practices. They have been adopted by 45 states and the District of Columbia, including South Carolina, which since 1999 had been using a set of state standards.
Last month, Indiana Gov. Mike Pence signed a bill to reverse that state's adoption of Common Core.
Standards, whether from Common Core or the state, are like roadmaps, said Sheila Quinn, associate superintendent of the Clover School District. They provide benchmarks and an end goal for students.
But they're broad enough to allow for teacher personality, said Kershena Dickey, an instructional specialist in Clover.
"(Standards) provide parameters," Dickey said. "It's tight enough that it doesn't turn into a free-for-all."
Common Core standards are more rigorous than South Carolina's previous standards, and Common Core requires teaching for understanding, not just memorization, said Tammy White, principal at Sunset Park Center for Accelerated Studies in Rock Hill.
"It's not enough to just know the facts," White said. "We need to help students understand and we spend a lot of time on the 'why.'"
Why is there controversy surrounding Common Core?
As with most education mandates, some people have serious concerns about Common Core and are lobbying for South Carolina to repeal its adoption of the standards. One of the most vocal of these groups is South Carolina Parents Involved in Education, an education advocacy group headed by Sheri Few, who is also a Republican candidate for state superintendent of education.
Among the biggest concerns is that the states are ceding control of education to the national government. "One of the bigger issues is the fact we're losing local control of South Carolina education," Few said.
The federal government has tied Title I funding, money that goes to schools with large percentages of economically disadvantaged children, to the adoption of Common Core. Many people, including Few, argue that taking away such funding is a threat used to indirectly mandate the adoption of these standards.
In January, Gov. Nikki Haley called on South Carolina lawmakers to scrap Common Core curriculum.
"We don't ever want to educate South Carolina children like they educate California children," Haley said, according to the Anderson Independent-Mail. "We want to educate South Carolina children on South Carolina standards, not anyone else's standards."
The executive committee of the state Republican Party also passed a resolution calling on the state to walk away from Common Core.
Some parents and early childhood specialists have also expressed concerns about the standards for kindergarten through third-grade students.
"These standards are developmentally inappropriate," Few said. "They can cause psychological damage to children."
Sunset Park Center for Acclerated Studies principal Tammy White disagrees.
"We're not seeing damage at all," White said. She sees students "who are up to the challenge."
A lot of concerns are about data mining in Common Core. Under current proposed testing contracts, Few said, the federal government will have access to data about students.
Some Common Core opponents say 400 data points can be collected on every student and his or her family.
That's not true, said Harriet Jaworowski, an associate superintendent in the Rock Hill school district.
"No one can get data with names ever," she said. "If (the government) got student-level information, they would get groups of students," and no names would be attached, because that would be a violation of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act.
Has Common Core already been implemented and how is it being received?
All six school districts in York, Chester and Lancaster counties have already begun implementing Common Core. Some, like Fort Mill, Rock Hill and Clover, have been phasing in Common Core for the past three or four years, administrators said, while others, like York, just began this fall.
Teachers in Clover and Rock Hill report students are responding well to the increased level of difficulty in the classroom.
"If they put forth the effort, a kid can do anything he wants to," said Karen Schmolze, a middle school math teacher at Oakridge Middle School in the Clover School District. "Just because we've raised the bar in terms of rigor with the standards doesn't mean a kid can't rise to that."
At South Pointe High School in Rock Hill, teachers are seeing students perform at higher literacy levels, said English teacher Carlo Dawson, because of the heavy emphasis on text-based responses across all subject areas.
"It's forcing (the students) to work harder because they're having to go back to that text," Dawson said. "It's really causing them to think about the 'why.'"
Many of the concerns districts are hearing from those against Common Core is simply a matter of misinformation or incomplete information, said Clover associate superintendent Shelia Quinn.
What is the future of Common Core in South Carolina?
For months, groups like South Carolina Parents Involved in Education and lawmakers across the state have called for the total repeal of Common Core in South Carolina.
But last month, the Senate Education Committee advanced a bill that did not call for a repeal, but instead made provisions to limit what some see as federal interference in education, limits schools from sharing student-level data, and require the General Assembly to approve changes to standards not written by the state Department of Education, in addition to removing current high school exit exam requirements.
South Carolina Parents Involved in Education has been actively campaigning for the repeal of Common Core. Few said her group hopes the option to completely repeal Common Core is added back to the bill when it's debated by the full Senate.
For the last several months, though, local school board leaders have maintained that Common Core isn't going anywhere, arguing that years of work and millions of dollars have gone into teacher training and other necessary expenses to transition to Common Core standards.
In February, in a letter to the Senate Education Committee, Fort Mill school board chair Patrick White said the district was already seeing "the positive results of our hard work" and cited a recent survey of Fort Mill teachers that showed "we are definitely headed in the right direction" with Common Core.

REfficient Inc.
REfficient helps organizations manage technology turnover by maximizing their opportunities for used and surplus equipment. Our services include the removal, testing and repair of old equipment, which is then redeployed, resold, donated or recycled. We also provide integrated sustainability reporting. In essence, our informed recommendations and complete solutions show that it makes both business and environmental sense to manage unneeded technology efficiently and responsibly.
We have an existing logo but recently had branding done. The outcome was that our current logo is too focused on recycling (in the mechanical sense), yet our company is foremost about providing options for reuse. We are at a critical period of growth and need the logo to align with our company essence.
Our core messages:
- We are leaders. We take a stand for what is possible.
- We are innovative, finding new solutions to solve challenges integral to our clients' businesses.
- We inspire our clients to do the right thing by showing them what is best for the environment can also be what is best for business.
- We are both business minded and environmentally conscious.
- We believe in balance.
Our brand styling is energetic and warm, professional and approachable, sophisticated with character, and environmentally conscious.
REfficient's tone is confident, knowledgeable, grounded, and personable.
We have two key audiences: clients and buyers.
Our clients are large corporations, businesses, and governments whose old equipment we manage. Many are major telecommunications companies-- and thus the majority of equipment we currently handle is telecom infrastructure. Our logo needs to resonate with the executive, sustainability director, and material manager that we are trustworthy, knowledgeable, innovative, and approachable. We are also efficient and green.
Our buyers are those who purchase equipment from us. Most are male and technical in nature -- anything too "green" may not resonate with this group. The key with this group is that we are also trustworthy, have integrity, and accessible. An extension of this group are donees -- educational institutions and organizations who wish to have equipment donated to them.
While we are looking for a new logo, this can either be an update of our existing logo or a totally new logo altogether. We have indicated some likes below; however, we are also open to your creativity.
Some concepts which we like include:
- modern ying/yang and interlocking swirl (implying technology turnover and balance)
- an unending loop of different components (implying options)
- circle (implying completeness)
- likely a 2 colour logo is preferred
- black or grey (for technology)
- green or blue (for the environment)
- not too techy or environmental -- a balance
- fairly simple -- needs to imply efficiency
- we like logos in which the name is included in the logo
Thank you everyone for your interest.

His thumb is good, so that shouldn't be an issue with Jeff Francoeur. That doesn't mean the Mets' right fielder isn't without questions or concerns.
Francoeur's attitude – and his performance – was a breath of fresh air in a stagnant clubhouse of a listless team last summer. He played with an energy the team had been lacking, bringing with him from Atlanta that "grit" the Mets have long been accused of lacking.
However, Francoeur has been an enigma for several years, with his stock falling since he hit a career-high 29 homers with 103 RBI in 2006. Believe it or not, that is the only season he's hit 20. He hit 19 with 105 RBI in 2007, but his numbers have been on a downward spiral since.
That's probably why he cost the Mets only Ryan Church.
Francoeur cited a change of scenery as giving him a lift last season, and perhaps that was the case. He hit .311 with 10 homers and 41 RBI in 289 at-bats for the Mets. That projects to a decent season of a little more than 20 homers and 82 RBI. Even so, it is still shy of his best season.
So, what do we expect from Francoeur if healthy and him getting over 600 at-bats? Would it be the change of scenery and a new Francoeur? Will it be another disappointment?
Not a lot has been made of Francoeur being an issue, but his career is at a crossroads and it will be interesting, and important, to the Mets to find out in which direction he's going.

MARIETTA, Ga. (March 3, 2006) - Up 5-0 in the top of the sixth, the ETSU softball team fended off a late charge by Austin Peay, thanks to a walk-off two-run homerun from Amanda Haverman (Kirkwood, Mo.) in the bottom of the seventh, to earn the 7-6 win, Friday at the Atlanta Marriot Buzz Classic in Marietta, Ga. The Lady Bucs luck ran out later in the day, however, as the club suffered an 11-2 loss at the hands of host Georgia Tech. After Friday's split, ETSU is 3-11 on the season.
Senior Janine Sprague (Hillsborough, N.C.) put the Lady Bucs on the board in the bottom of the third, leading of the inning with a solo homerun to left center. The blast was Sprague's second on the season. Stephanie Gaynord (Manassas, Va.) kept the inning going, slapping triple to right center. Gaynord would score the Lady Bucs' second run of the inning on a ground out by Haverman.
ETSU extended its lead in the fifth, plating three runs to take the 5-0 advantage. Sprague got the inning started once again, nailing a lead-off single and advancing to second on a sacrifice bunt from Gaynord. Brittany Richardson (Knoxville, Tenn.) then singled to left, sending Sprague to third.
Haverman then sent a single through the left side, scoring Sprague and advancing Jessie Hackworth (Clinton, Tenn.), who pinch ran for Richardson, to third. A sacrifice fly from Mary Catherine Vercoe (Signal Mountain, Tenn.) would score Hackworth, and an Austin Peay fielding error would plate Haverman for ETSU's final run of the inning.
Austin Peay exploded for five runs in the top of the sixth, slapping three hits and capitalizing on two ETSU errors. The Governors continued to put the pressure on top of the seventh, tacking on another run and taking their first lead of the game at 6-5.
Haverman then slammed her first homerun of the season, scoring Hackworth, and securing the 7-6 win for the Lady Bucs. Haverman had a stellar game at the plate, recording a 3-for-4 showing, while driving in four RBIs and scoring two runs on her own.
Brittany Lehrschall (Leland, N.C.) got the win on the mound, moving to 2-2 on the season. Courtney Jenkins (Knoxville, Tenn.) threw 5.2 innings in the game, giving up six hits while striking out five.
Georgia Tech jumped out to an early lead and never looked back in the Lady Bucs' second game, piling on seven runs in the first inning alone, eventually downing ETSU, 11-2, in five innings. Gaynord accounted for two of the Lady Bucs' six hits, while Vercoe, one of four ETSU pitchers to take the mound, was tagged with the loss, falling to 0-5 on the season.
The Lady Bucs continue play at the Buzz Classic Saturday morning, taking on Marshall at 9 a.m. ETSU is also scheduled to face Big East foe Uconn at 6 p.m., in Marietta, Ga.

Mayor Don Wesely today announced that overall crime in Lincoln dropped 5.6 percent in 1999 compared to 1998. Statistics released today also show that the city's per capita crime rate for 1999 was the lowest since 1985, at 61.7 offenses per 100,000 in population.
"It's very gratifying to see that the trend we noted during the first six months of 1999 held through the end of the year," Mayor Wesely said. "Our citizens can take great pride in the excellent job done by our police officers, and we need to continue our efforts to put more officers on the streets. We can also be very proud of the many community efforts that have been undertaken to prevent crime and keep Lincoln safe."
The only crime categories with increases were assault and auto theft. The categories of rape, robbery, burglary and larceny-theft all declined, while murder and non-negligent homicide rates were unchanged.
"I am especially pleased by the work of our personnel in identifying and responding to pattern crimes such as larcenies from autos and burglaries and in completing problem-oriented policing projects," said Police Chief Tom Casady. "Some of these projects are receiving national attention as examples of quality police work."
At the same time, Casady said the overall decline in crime needs to be kept in perspective, and the city cannot afford to rest on its laurels.
"Most of the decrease has been in property crime," Casady said. "We've just experienced our first apparent homicide of the year, and that reminds us that violent crime has grown faster than the population over the past decade. The upward trend in violent crime during our lifetimes has been particularly dramatic."
Casady also noted that Lincoln's downturn in crime mirrors national trends but differs from the increasing trend affecting Nebraska as a whole during the past decade.

9 July 2013
Australia Zoo recently teamed up with Formula One driver Mark Webber in the race to save the endangered Tasmanian devil from the contagious Devil Facial Tumour Disease (DFTD). The Mark Webber Foundation has made a substantial donation to help improve our Tassie Devil enclosure.
This will ensure Australia Zoo's continuing and vital role in a conservation breeding program that is growing an insurance population free of the disease. Australia Zoo has successfully bred 14 devil joeys since 2002, including five in the past year! With predictions the devil could be extinct within 10 to 15 years due to consequences from DFTD, the Zoo's head of native mammals, Tammy Forge, said every birth was a positive for the species.
"DFTD is a debilitating cancerous sarcoma threatening wild populations, and is highly contagious among devils; tumours appear on the Tasmanian devil's face and neck and the devil dies of starvation within three to six months of infection," Tammy explained. "Every joey is hugely important to keep the Tasmanian devil insurance population on the increase, as well as to introduce new genetics into the pool."
Australia Zoo's native mammals keepers are now excited about the possibility of breeding of more joeys! Visit our devils soon or book an Animal Encounter with a devil to discover the beauty of these gentle and shy animals.
Culling doesn't help!
Culling has ended as a way of controlling the spread of DFTD among Tasmanian Devils, thanks to research showing it doesn't halt the spread of the disease. Nick Beeton of the University of Tasmania and Professor Hamish McCallum of Griffith University devised models that concluded culling doesn't work. The latest results confirm the view now held by the Save the Tasmanian Devil Program to end culling.
Efforts to save the devil now centre on: setting up insurance populations, finding genetic resistance, and developing a vaccine. Professor McCallum is one of a team of researchers who have discovered that in some devils immunisation with tumour cells leads to an immune response which provides encouragement that vaccination is achievable.
Mark Webber Q&A
Mark Webber took some time-out from his busy schedule to share with us his passion for saving Tassie Devils.
Why did the plight of the Tasmanian devil grab your attention?
Tasmania is an area of the world which I have been fortunate enough to spend a fair bit of time since we started the Mark Webber Tasmania Challenge in 2003. The Challenge course has been held over some of the most amazing terrain in the country and it happens that many of these places are the natural habitat of the Tasmanian devil. Talking with the locals, we have come to understand the battle that these guys face for survival and the incredible efforts by organisations, such as the Save the Tasmanian Devil Appeal and Australia Zoo, to try and make a difference.
Why does Tasmania have a special interest for you?
I've been fortunate enough to travel around the world and experience a lot of different places in my life, but there is nowhere in the world like Tasmania. It is still one of the most spectacular and unspoilt landscapes on the planet and I love going there. The Tassie devil is one of the most prominent symbols of the state and epitomises the fight and courage of Aussies. Throughout my career, and in particular with the Swisse Mark Webber Tasmania Challenge, I have been given a huge amount of support from the people and government of Tasmania, so it is important to me to be able to give back.
How much money has the Mark Webber Tasmania Challenge raised for Tasmanian devils?
So far we have raised over $60,000 for the Tasmanian Devils and this year we started a new initiative for the Swisse Mark Webber Tasmania Challenge. We gave people the chance to get a small taste of the action with an adventure run through the streets and the Domain in Hobart on December 4. We used this opportunity to do further fundraising for the Tasmanian Devils.
What's your message for drivers with regard to wildlife road kill, particularly devils?
It is not really a fair fight between a car and native wildlife on the roads. These accidents are not always avoidable but it is important to always remain vigilant and attentive when driving, especially at night.
Do you have an interest in other wildlife and animals?
I am definitely a big fan of animals and at home in the UK, we have a couple of dogs that rule the roost not to mention, a cat, some chickens, three alpacas and a rescue donkey.
Why is Australia Zoo's role in breeding an insurance population of Tasmanian devils important?
Australia Zoo has had the most successful breeding program on record. Their commitment to increasing the captive-bred population will hopefully ensure the survival of the species.

Thee, or Thou?
But it didn't, in my part of the Quaker world.
In my and my parents' generation, we have used "you" in everyday conversation. I didn't realize until I grew up and moved away, and someone asked me to say the blessing before a meal, that we still used "thou" in all of our prayers. Daily prayers, Sunday morning prayers and the prevalence of the King James Bible were enough for us to absorb the correct grammar, including "thou art." It's not just my family. Last year a Quaker friend of mine from another N.C. county used thou and thee for a full 10 minutes of conversation, just for fun.
So, I'm confused. Even non-Quakers know "Thou shalt not kill. Thou shalt not ..." etc. Why would a group of people who read the King James Bible - like everybody else until the late 20th century - throw out both biblical and secular grammar and make up their own? Is it regional? Are we in Piedmont North Carolina the only Quakers who kept correct grammar? Or is it just a myth, a bad stereotype, that anybody uses "thee is"?
I'd really like to hear from people who grew up with thee or thou, even if you heard it from your grandparents or an old pastor or neighbor. Please include the region where you lived.
Note: "Thee" is correct as an object, just like "me." If people speak correct grammar, you'll hear both thou (a subject, like I) and thee (object, like me). The incorrect grammar is to use thee for every use.

Whatyou say is interesting. I never had the privilidge that I remember. In Wi. we are near amish, but I rarely see or hear them. the same for the menonite few who shop aroud the town now and then.
My own interest has been the tones of speech or the way something is said.
And I have yet had my questions answered about translators and low dutch german language. lol.
- Micah Bales said...
The King James Bible was written in the English of the royal court; "thou art" is reflective of that royal dialect. My understanding is that folks in the North of England in the mid-1600s would have said, "thee is." Since Friends were strongest in the North, it makes sense to me that their linguistic norms would have prevailed in the community.

Thank you both for your comments.
Micah, I've been researching 1650s to 1750s Quaker writings (G.Fox's journal and meeting minutes), and they used thou. The royal dialect had become you (KJV was written a century before Quakers). The historian I referred to said thou was prevalent until late 1700s (in America?). My confusion was that, in my region, it never went away. Have you heard either, in modern times?
- Micah Bales said...
Few Friends today use plain speech, as it's called. However, those who do say "thee is."
Fox himself was from the Midlands, not from the North. Perhaps that is an explanation for why he did not use the same grammatical form which later became standard for Friends.

I didn't grow up around it, but when I do see it/hear it, I see thee, and not thou. I saw more thous growing up Catholic in Brooklyn, actually.

I met with a business owner the other day whilst in the Capalaba and Cleveland area to discuss his situation after a Court Judgement in his favour against a Debtor.
You would think that by getting said Judgement, the next step would be cut and dried with payment having been received, think again! After 11 failed attempts by a Bailiff to serve said Judgement on the debtor, who in this case denied he was the named person in the Judgement, he was served on the 12th occasion but to date since 2012 still has not been paid.
The only thing left to do is to go back to court for an Enforced Judgement and then wind this Debtor up, yet another outlay, good money chasing bad.
The MORAL of this story is that if the business owner had of had the correct Terms of Trade in place with the backing of a bone fide Debt Recovery Agency, this unfortunate series of events would possibly not have happened.
WHY: First and foremost Time, Effort and Cost involved in recovery of this debt exceeded the amount of the initial debt and became Personal rather than Business. A 3rd party Collection Agency i.e. EC Credit Control, would have saved said time effort and money and the debt due to good terms of trade and the ability to register on the PPSR in place would in most cases been paid.

The goal of product lifecycle management (PLM) is to provide an infrastructure that companies can use to improve product quality. This is achieved by creating a centralized system to organize all data on all products, from initial conceptualization, to manufacturing, to sale and eventually to recycling.
For large companies with geographically dispersed teams, managing these processes and integrating data from throughout the supply chain is a complex strategy that requires software to help automate and connect disparate technology solutions. PLM software is the technology that ties these solutions together.
Here's what we'll cover in this guide:
What Is PLM Software?
Common Features of Product Lifecycle Management Software
Important Considerations
Market Trends to Understand
PLM software can be thought of as an application designed to help users track all information around product design, production and consumption. It integrates all technology and systems throughout the product lifecycle, from design and simulation technology to procurement and manufacturing solutions.
The advantages to using PLM software can be distilled to three main benefits:
Faster production. Through the use of computer-aided design software, designs can be quickly and easily created, and at lower costs. Meanwhile, computer-aided manufacturing functionality can manage machining processes to create more products, quickly.
More accurate production. PLM software can reduce the chance products deviate from design specifications during machining. Its users can also simulate and test designs before production to ensure finished products will be reliable.
More efficient production. Users can communicate with coworkers throughout the organization and share designs, production forecasts and other data. The creation of definitive, automatic processes for product build, assembly and disassembly.
These benefits combined lead to more organized, profitable product development.
The modules and features found within PLM applications will vary vendor by vendor: some systems are fully featured suites, containing modules to handle every step of the lifecycle, while other solutions offer phase-specific functionality to handle only one aspect of the lifecycle. Most applications act as the "integrator," connecting various applications and data sources into one, coherent solution.
When evaluating PLM software, here are the key features and functionality to be aware of:
|Computer-aided design (CAD)
|CAD applications create two-dimensional drawings and three-dimensional models of components. Users of CAD software are able to produce designs more accurately and at greater speeds than professionals who design by hand. In addition, engineers can also reuse and update designs as needed.
|Computer-aided engineering (CAE)
|CAE is an essential process to simulate products, anticipate weaknesses and build-upon preliminary designs to create safer and more structurally sound assets. Its features commonly include performance simulators, finite element analysis, mechanical event simulation and fluid dynamics analysis.
|Computer-aided manufacturing (CAM)
|CAM ensures that manufacturers create products precisely to design specification. Its applications communicate with machinery to create items exactly as intended, while creating the necessary documentation to trace manufacturing trends at later dates. These applications can greatly reduce raw material usage and improve production efficiency.
|Manufacturing process management (MPM)
|MPM software manages and automates all of the processes that take place to machine products. MPM is also a key component in streaming processes through various reporting functions that look to reduce lead times and inventories.
|Product data management (PDM)
|PDM creates a central repository for all information on product design, requirements and processes. PDM modules are often accessible from any device and offer data security features for users who need to secure production information. Bill of materials (BOM), CAD files, supplier and materials data and information on machine processes are accessible through PDM modules.
|Reporting and analytics
|Analytics can be used to find where lead times are getting out of hand and costs are greatly overshooting estimates. Many systems feature pre-built reports, as well as ad hoc reporting that users can customize to their own needs.
When evaluating PLM software, there are a few key considerations that you should keep top of mind:
Integrated suite vs. best-of-breed software. Buyers have a lot of options in this market. Many of the major vendors in this space offer multiple applications with varying degrees of functionality. When it comes time to purchase software to assist with PLM, buyers have three main options:
All three options have their merits and faults for particular buyers. We recommend buyers first evaluate their needs, consider the systems that new PLM technology must integrate with and then evaluate the systems that best meet this criteria.
Cloud-based vs. on-premise. Cloud-based PLM software is still in its infancy, but many of the big vendors now offer to host some functionality and allow applications to be accessed via the Internet. The benefits of using PLM software in the Cloud are similar to many other applications, such as low upfront spend and easy online access.
Because of the proprietary nature of the information stored in PLM software, many buyers choose to deploy this type of system in a private Cloud, or an online network managed by the users' company, rather than by the software vendor. This allows buyers to enjoy the cost- and access-related benefits of the Cloud while maintaining tighter control around their data.
As we look to the future of PLM, there are some glaring trends on the horizon. First and foremost is the advancement and blurring of the lines that we're seeing in connected devices. Over the next 5-10 years, more and more products will become connected. While this will lead to exciting product performance and maintenance monitoring, it's also a new component of product design that must be taken into account.
From a manufacturing perspective, more and more products are going to require baseline software components built into them. This will add another team for existing design, mechanical, electrical, and other manufacturing teams to work with. Organizations will have to determine where, when, and how to embed software teams into the traditional PLM processes.
Our service is simple and 100% free to customers like you because software vendors pay us when we connect them with quality leads. You save time and get great advice. Vendors get great referrals. It's a win for everyone!

In this post I will show you how to quickly create a seamless simple geometric pattern swatch in Adobe Illustrator. In the last (extra) step I will show you a very simple way to 'export' it as a pattern to Photoshop.
First, have a look at what we aim to obtain (this pattern is inspired by the fabric of my favorite tunic).
1. With the Rectangle Tool (M) create a rectangle 20 px (width) x 60 px (height). Set stroke to none and fill to black.
2. With the black rectangle selected go to Effect > Distort & Transform > Transform… and choose the settings as below. Next go to Object menu and Expand Appearance.
Ungroup the bottom rectangles Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+G.
3. Once the rectangles are ungrouped you can change their fill colors. I used:
4. With the Direct Selection Tool (A) select the the top parts of your rectangles (so that to include all top apices) and drag it a little to the right holding down the Shift key (drag as you like, don't worry – you can change it any time). Alternatively you can group your rectangle, select the group and use Object > Transform > Shear…
5. Group your rectangles Cmd/Ctrl+G and go to Effect > Distort & Transform > Transform… and choose the settings as below
7. Again go to Effect > Distort & Transform > Transform… Choose Apply New Effect and the settings as follows:
8. And once again (yes to Apply New Effect) and:
9. Creat a rectangle 80 px (width) x 120 px (height) (80 = number of colorful rectangles x width of a single rectangle; 120 = 2 x height of a single rectangle). Set its fill and stroke to none and send it to the very bottom of the layer Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+[. Select all. In the Align Panel choose: (1) Horizontal Align Center and (2) Vertical Align Top.
10. Now, drag your selection (make sure the whole layer is selected) to the Swatches Panel or go to Edit > Define Pattern… It's done!
11. If you want to use this pattern in Photoshop, here is how to do it ultra-quickly: with a Rectangle Tool (M) create a rectangle 80 px x 120 px and fill it with your pattern (no stroke). Select it, copy and paste in Photoshop into a file that has the same canvas size. Go to Edit > Define Pattern…
Below: the tunic inspiration. Thnx to Pinkonhead for taking the photo and to Joe Vains for suggesting this idea ;) :)
