Comments about Roland AIRA Series TR-8 Rhythm Performer:
WOW! Great as a stand alone or mixer with other controllers. Best Drum sounds from 808 and 909's. Great step sequencer, all the controls for EQ, Decay, and Compression built in for each drum.

Comments about Roland AIRA Series TR-8 Rhythm Performer:
The Roland TR-8 does a great job of doing what it's meant to do, bring back the functionality and sound of the electronic music powerhouses...TR-808 and TR-909's. My first impression was that it looked great. The lights are awesome and will be especially nice in DJ and live performance gigs. Even if you've never used the originals, the TR-8 is pretty simple to figure out. The 16 step buttons feel great and are even touch sensitive. These 16 steps are also used for placing your accent, effects, and side chain "pump" effect. The side-chain input control is probably my favorite feature. Simply route an external audio signal to the input (like their new TB-3 synth) and you'll produce rhythmic gating effects that you can control by selectively placing them along the 16 step grid. The instant changes to the feel of your beat are intoxicating. Just think about sub-mixing several different audio sources at one time and selecting which ones you want to send through the TR-8 side-chain. Great for a live performance. There are variations of each sound from the 808 and 909 for you to choose from. All the boom and slamming thud you'll want or need. Effects can be applied to each sound individually. The "Scatter" function can be cool, but it's effectiveness seems to determined by the type of pattern and feel you're going for. The only thing I missed was an audio metronome. I know most people are going to step record anyway, but to have the option to record in real-time without an audio click seems silly, maybe they'll add it in a future update. Grabbing knobs, faders, changing pitch, the swing and over all vibe of a groove has never been more fun for me. It is what it is. Don't expect hundreds of sounds and preset patterns. BYOB. Build Your Own Beats, and have a blast doing it.

Comments about Roland AIRA Series TR-8 Rhythm Performer:
Thousands of people spoke and Roland listened. The TR-8 brings back all of their classic sounds from their best drum machines and adds so much more. You can create patterns using combinations of sounds that were previously unavailable. You can also edit the sounds to create an entirely new set unique to your music. Using fills and alternate patterns is very simple, giving you the feel of a real drummer. I have already kept what I thought would be "scratch tracks" as finished drum tracks because they sounded so good. This is a must have in any producer's collection.

As of Sunday, December 16, 2012
© Copyright 2014 Gwinnett Daily Post
NEW YORK — "Saturday Night Live" made a rare departure from its comedic opening to pay tribute to the children and adults killed at a Connecticut elementary school.
Not known for treating anything seriously or tenderly, the show made a fitting exception during the first moments of its show Saturday. Rather than the usual comedic sketch, a children's choir appeared on camera and angelically sang "Silent Night," with the touching refrain, "Sleep in heavenly peace."
Then the members of the New York City Children's Chorus shouted out the NBC show's time-honored introduction: "Live from New York, it's 'Saturday Night!'"
It was the night's sole reference to the tragedy and struck just the right tone.
Later, the chorus returned to join musical guest Paul McCartney in a rendition of his "Wonderful Christmas Time."
Appearing in a sketch in an unbilled cameo, actor Samuel L. Jackson made a distinctive contribution of his own.
Pretending to be miffed at getting interrupted as a guest on the mock talk show "What Up with That?" Jackson said what sounded very much like an F-bomb, followed by the term sometimes shortened to "B.S."
Playing the host of "What Up with That?" Kenan Thompson looked startled by Jackson's vulgarities but kept going.
"C'mon, Sam. That costs money!" he quipped, cracking up the studio audience.
Moments after the show ended, Jackson tried to explain in a Twitter posting.
"I only said FUH," he insisted, adding that Thompson was supposed to cut him off with his second eruption, but "blew it!!"
Jackson's tweet was accompanied by a photo of himself looking mortified.
Besides Jackson, some of the stars dropping by for this special Christmas "SNL" included Alec Baldwin, Tom Hanks, Kristen Wiig, Jimmy Fallon and Tina Fey. The guest host was Martin Short.

Apple's already got the best of the best when it comes to lawyers.
Do you think they get a discount on ipads? They're retail employess dont
Hiring them all huh? I only see three high profile names there... Unless there aren't too many patent/IP lawyers out there these days!
Looks like lawyers are going to fight over for Steve.
damn wonders what patents google violated if apple needs even more lawyers lol
In all seriousness though, unless there is MUCH MUCH more to the nakia case then has already been reported and rehashed over the last 6 months, Apple is kindof fighting a losing battle against Nokia. If theyre smart, they simply settle, and pay the royalty for using the GSM standard. Kinda like they were supposed to do in the first place.
Nokia is just waving their arms on the other stuff, but they are totally right about the GSM thing.

Atlanta-based TNT revived the classic 1980s night-time soap "Dallas" earlier this year, bringing back iconic evil oil man J.R. Ewing, played with uncommon zeal by Larry Hagman.
But partway through production of season two shot in Dallas, 81-year-old Hagman passed Friday from complications of cancer.
He absolutely loved playing J.R. again, joining Linda Gray and Patrick Duffy as part of the older generation working with the new generation. More than three decades after the classic "Who Shot J.R.?" episode in 1980, he came back on TNT with his signature cowboy hat and evil-looking eyebrows intact.
"It's just like coming home," he told me in an interview earlier this year before the revival debuted on TNT to big numbers.
He managed to get through last year's first ten episodes despite being treated for an unspecified cancer.
"I'm doing good," he said to me in June. "I seem to be doing good – in total remission." But he wouldn't reveal the type of cancer and the family statement released today didn't say.
He said he had become a vegetarian and during treatment had lost 30 pounds. He said he hoped to keep 20 of those pounds off.
Deadline.com said Hagman has shot at least six episodes out of 15 for season two, set to return January 28, 2013. TNT may have to take a break from production to give writers time to reflect J.R.'s death, the story said. TNT says he will be in "several" episodes for sure and released this statement:
All of us at TNT are deeply saddened at the news of Larry Hagman's passing. He was a wonderful human being and an extremely gifted actor. We will be forever thankful that a whole new generation of people got to know and appreciate Larry through his performance as J.R. Ewing. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family at this very difficult time.
The "Dallas" reboot/revival acted as if 20 years had passed and the cameras just turned back on. J.R. began season one in a nursing home, catatonic and depressed, broken and broke. His cheating, scheming, nasty ways seemed to be over. But when he found out Bobby Ewing wanted to sell Southfork Ranch to a conservancy, he bounced back into action. He worked with his previously estranged son, John Ross, to get the deed back. He also spent time in Las Vegas trying to figure out what his arch-nemesis Cliff Barnes was up to. He came back when Bobby had a medical emergency.
John Ross teamed with his cousin Christopher (Bobby's son) in a new Ewing company. But John Ross had J.R. hunger for power and paranoia. He asked J.R. in the first season finale to "teach me every dirty trick to take the company away from Christopher and Elena," who was John Ross' girlfriend (and Christopher's ex.). J.R.'s response? "Now that's my son, from tip to tail."
Hagman noted, "He has a lot to learn. I become one of his great teachers — of all the wrong things."
He said one big difference about the 2012 version vs. the 1980s version: it's much faster paced. Back in the slower-paced days, "they would do lots of lingering shots. They'd pull in and pull back. Now, they just end one subject and move to another. They fit four or five themes in one episode now. It's daunting for me to follow the whole thing."
I first spoke with Hagman in 2010 before his appearance at an "I Dream of Jeannie" reunion at Dragon*Con.

The entities of "J.R.' and Mr. Hagman had become so intertwined in the public eye, my first thought upon reading the headline of " 'J.R. Ewing' Passes Away," as several online media outlets put it, my first thought was "Who Shot Him?"
Rest in Peace, Mr. Hagman.
Thank you for your decades of coming into our homes and entertaining us.

It was throat cancer, if you're interested.
Though this is the most fascinating thing I found out about Hagman:
"In his later years, Hagman became an advocate for organ transplants and an anti-smoking campaigner. He also was devoted to solar energy, telling the New York Times he had a $750,000 solar panel system at his Ojai estate, and made a commercial in which he portrayed a J.R. Ewing who had forsaken oil for solar power. He was a longtime member of the Peace and Freedom Party, a minor leftist organization in California.
Hagman told the Times that after death he wanted his remains to be "spread over a field and have marijuana and wheat planted and harvest it in a couple of years and then have a big marijuana cake, enough for 200 to 300 people. People would eat a little of Larry."

Anybody that liked DALLAS would like "NASHVILLE" on Wed. nites at 10PM. Just got picked up for a full season by ABC. Don't usually like those type shows but this one is good, well-produced and written. Lots of good original music too!

It will remain to be seen on how the current incarnation of 'Dallas' (seen on TNT) will address the passing of the legendary Larry Hagman (best known as J.R. Ewing). Long-time Sesame Street director/writer (and former daytime soap writer) Emily Squires also passed away the exact same day as Hagman. R.I.P. to both Hagman and Squires, and may their legacies and memories forever live on.

I was always touched by his devotion to his wife of 60 years, Maj. I remember him not wanting to take work away from her and tried to be with her daily, even if she didn't remember him due to her illness.

Although Waldo put up a valiant effort, it wasn't enough to prevent Weber State Univerity's loss to the Cougars. Stephens condemns committee By Laurie Albrechtsen Signpost campus affairs editor Utah State Representative .Marty Stephens (R-Farr West) recently condemned the closure of the final Student Fee Recommendation Committee meetings, saying "they (the SFRC) are clearly in violation of the law." Stephens said the Weber State University SFRC falls under the Open Meetings Act because it deals with the recommended expenditure of $4.3 million dollars in student fees. This, he said, is of definite concern to the 15,000 students paying student fees. Stephens is introducing new legislation to clarify questions concerning the Open Meetings Act sometimes known as Sunshine Laws. He said he based the proposed legislation on the public's right to know what is being discussed in meetings of people vested with the responsibility of representing others. " "The legislation will hopefully clarify the Open Meetings Act, and in return the public will have greater access to what is going on. The amendments in the bill are not so the press necessarily has greater power, but so the people of the state of Utah will have the information they are entitled to," Stephens said. However, Stephens did not Sec SFRC page 2 Football program safe for new season Students may foot $100,000 bill to keep program alive By Jared Page Signpost sports editor Coaches, players and fans of Weber State University football received an early Christmas present Dec. 17 as the WSU Board of Trustees voted unanimously to continue the football program. The decision was reached two days a f ter the WSU a thletics boa rd made a recommendation to budget a "reasonable" amount of money for football. Under the board's recommendation, the community must come up with theremainingmoney needed. The recommendation was supported by WSU President Paul Thompson.Faced with mounting financial pressures in athletics, the university considered dropping football to reduce the subsidy to athletics by $500,000 each year. "Thecommunily showed great support for football," Thompson said. "Our friends and fans have helped us keep the program. I ha ve been encouraged by the ticket sales. The question is, is that a long-term commitment?" Randy Johnson, co-chairman of a local committee to save football, said supporters have donated some $54,000 and pledged to buy more than 2,000 season tickets. In 1993, only 753 season tickets were sold. Football coach Dave Arslanian said he and other football promoters received pledges for more than $500,000 next year, including a possible $100,000 generated through an increase in student fees. ASWSU President Brett Chugg said current polls indicate students are willing to pay the increased fees to save football, but hedoesn't believe that raising fees is a long-term answer. Trustees did not specify how much money should be spent on football next year, but Thompson said "financial realities" would mean a reduced subsidy. Arslanian said he has not tried to justify football receiving that a mount of subsidization when the program only brings in $122,000. "That wouldn't be fair to the other programs," he said.

The fee would be in addition to the $63 Weber State University students pay yearly to support athletics, the highest among any college or university in thestate, ac cording to information released by the Utah State Board of Regents. The decision to add the extra fee depends on student input. If the students are apathetic, they will most likely get the fee, Chugg said.

|Weber's current student newspaper, the Signpost, first appeared on September 29, 1937. For two years prior to that time, campus news was disseminated via announcements posted on a bulletin board known as the "Signpost". As a result, the masthead of the first issue of the paper itself featured a rudimentary wooden sign with the title spelled out in rustic-looking letters. Over the years the paper has been published continuously, though the look, size and style has changed several times.

Customising html for navigation menu in child theme
I am developing a child theme for the Buddypress default theme. I am wanting to make significant changes to the html for nav menu items. It appears that the function wp_nav_menu generates the nav div html. From having read the info on creating child themes it would seem that the best approach is to create a functions.php file in my child theme directory and then add a new function there, say wp_nav_menu2, and then include this in my header.php. Having looked at the default functions.php file it is not clear to me what I need to copy over to my functions.php from the default version, and where I would add the html for my nav items. I would like the html for each nav item to be in the form:
Complicated markup I know, but it enables me to construct nav items from various background images.
Could someone advise me as to how to implement this?

Sequim's Shiso Visitors
Led by Sequim host Gail Sumpter and their chaperones, the Shiso exchange students began their day of visits to Sequim schools with a stroll down Fir Street on Monday morning, Sept. 23.
First stop: a tour of Judie Lawson's first-grade class at Helen Haller.
The visit included a lengthy discussion of "home schooling" with Sumpter and Haller Principal Russ Lodge, a concept that was entirely novel to the Japanese educators. Kenji Nishigaki enjoyed a personal tour of first-grader Aeideon Greer's classroom at Helen Haller.
During their stay, the Japanese contingent also enjoyed bowling, special dinners and visits to local sights. A group of ninth- and tenth-grade Sequim students soon will visit Shiso City, Sequim's sister city in Japan.

Not in PR-B School District's best interest
Lee Aimers retired last spring after a 34-year teaching career. It was a tough decision. He loves kids; he loves teaching; he was, and is, passionate about a career he found very rewarding.
He promised the many students, parents and staff who asked that he would be available for substitute teaching this fall and would keep in touch.

Volunteer Summer
Throughout 2013, we will be phasing out some of our existing service programs, including Volunteer Summer. The 2012 Volunteer Summer cohort, which concluded its domestic programming in March, was the final Volunteer Summer Cohort. This will allow us to increase our focus on linking service with U.S.-based advocacy for global justice. We are looking forward to launching our new service programs in the fall of 2013, and we are confident that these programs will strengthen our efforts to mobilize American Jews to advocate for human rights in the developing world. We will continue to build a strong cohort of committed Jewish global citizens, and our forthcoming programs are intended to inspire, train and empower key opinion leaders of all ages.
*The final domestic retreat for the existing cohort of Volunteer Summer participants will remain scheduled for March 1-4, 2013.
Please contact us at email@example.com for more information.

Outstanding Shopping Experience

- Familiarity: I gave it as a gift, but have feedback to share
When I purchased this vest, it was my first experience shopping with Backcountry and I was EXTREMELY impressed. Within hours of submitting my order, I received email confirmation that the order had not only been processed but was shipped and on its way. This was during the peak of Christmas shopping season and I had left my order quite late, yet I still received the item within a couple of days of submitting the order. The vest was terrific - exactly what I expected based on the info on the website. Unfortunately, it was a gift and it didn't quite work out for the recipient so I had to return it. The return process was equally quick and easy. I would shop at Backcountry again in a heartbeat.


text: Herbie Hancock is certainly Takin Off at this point in his career – stepping into the limelight with an excellent batch of soul jazz tunes, including the first recording of his classic "Watermelon Man", the one track that probably put all his kids through school! Although that one went on to become a standard within a few short years in 60s jazz, it still sounds great here in the original – a very fresh take on the sound of soul jazz in the 60s – offered up here in a 7 minute version that has more sharp soloing than most other takes on the tune! The group here is great too – with Dexter Gordon on tenor, Freddie Hubbard on trumpet, Butch Warren on bass, and Billy Higgins on drums – and the tracks are all also originals by a young Herbie – including "Watermelon Man", "The Maze", "Driftin", "Three Bags Full", "Alone & I", and "Empty Pockets".

Sellout Risk: Extremely High
The masses have been high on these lil smokies for 3 years now. This year's crop is no different. In terms of quality and price, Smokin Buds leave non-Skullcandy ear buds dazed and confused. And style? Forget about it!
Discontinued Colors
Smokin Buds
I personally break my headphones very easily. But I tried these headphones and they lasted by far longer than any headphones I have ever had. They sounded great, looked cool, and lasted a good amount of time for me.
I'm fairly rough with my headphones, and all skullcandies seem to start to break after 4 months. but if you keep them in good condition, they stay loud forever. they fit nice, and with three options of ear puff things, its guaranteed to fit.
I had a pair of these for about a year and while I had them I absolutly loved them! Sound quality was great, especially for the price. But after about a year they began to short. I am fairly tough on headphones so that could be why. But at this price I wouldnt really care. all in all a decent set of buds if take care of them.

Talk about your wasted opportunities.
Late last week, a few pages of the a comic book originally slated to accompany the Ghostface Killah, Raekwon, and Method Man collaborative album Wu-Massacre leaked online. The short comic book, also titled Wu-Massacre, sees the three Wu-Tang Clan members transformed from hip-hop heavyweights into ultra gritty über-badasses.
That's the first page to the left. We can't really show the rest as it's potentially NSFW. Lots of guts, gore, and viscera is splattered across the following panels as the three Wu-Tangers fight against (and utterly destroy) some unknown adversaries. It's the kind of stuff that must make up the fever dreams of every young male hip-hop star put to paper. The project had some serious creative backing too, with art direction handled by Alex Haldi and character design by illustrator Chris Bachalo.
And just to avoid any confusion going forward, Ghostface Killah is the guy in the white mask, Method Man is rocking the red jacket, and Raekwon is the commando-looking guy. Alas, whatever story there was is lost along with the dialogue. But does it really matter with artwork this fresh?

ATLANTA (AP) - An arrest warrant has been issued for a man accused of posing as a lawyer and duping a couple out of more than $5,000.
Atlanta Police spokesman John Chafee says Virginia and Kerwin Davis visited a police station Feb. 5 to tell officers Arkeith Nelson was posing as a lawyer and handing out business cards at a child welfare office.
The couple said they met with Nelson about a child support issue and agreed to pay him $5,275. Chafee says Nelson agreed to represent Kerwin Davis in court and never showed up. Consequently, an arrest warrant was issued for Davis.
Chafee says the Georgia Bar Association has confirmed Nelson is not an attorney.
Police say Nelson is wanted on four counts of theft by deception and unauthorized practice of law.

Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
We moved to the Seacoast area from Maryland last summer and finding a great school for our 2 daughters (7th/10th) was our highest priority. After touring the school, meeting with both admissions and administration, we selected PCA for the 2013-2014 school year. Our experience thus far has been incredible. Both of our daughters are loving the school and enjoying all the opportunities it has to offer. They are being challenged academically and the Biblical worldview that we were looking for is woven throughout the curriculum. We look forward to a long relationship with the PCA community! You will love this school!
Have you ever been to a school where the kids are genuinely happy; where the love of learning is so evident you just don't want to leave? The community feeling I get, as a parent, everytime I walk into this school gives me chills. Parents, students, and teachers come together in a way like nothing I have witnessed in other schools. This is the 4th school my children have attended, and we will do anything we can to keep them here until they graduate. The life lessons and relationships they are building are priceless. PCA keeps them challenged academically and continuously works with them building character through retreats, chapels, small groups, missions trips, and community service projects. The schools size offers them multiple extracurricular activies including sports, drama, academic competition, and much more. I cannot recommend PCA enough.
We pulled our 2 boys out of Portsmouth Public schools because the curriculum was incredibly poor! They are half way through their first year at PCA and they are so happy there! on wis in Jr high and the other is elementary. We are a Christian family and are so happy with how they are growing in their faith and knowledge of the Bible. The academics are great! They are challenged in every way. We are very happy with everything. Our boys love it and never want to go back to public, they know they are getting a much better education than their public school friends.
From the dedicated staff and faculty to the administration and volunteers, this place is excellent. The teachers CARE about their students. Students are challenged to work to their potential maximizing the gifts they have been given. What a deal PCA is!
This is our 10th year at PCA! My oldest child started in kindergarten and my other two started in preschool. My oldest is now in high school. Their years at PCA have been such a tremendous blessing. All of my children love this school and have a love of learning thanks to the wonderful teachers and staff who are so caring and committed to helping each child discover their gifts and succeed.
Our daughter is in her 3rd year at the Lower School, and we could not be happier with PCA. We've been so pleased by the quality of teachers, their warmth and kindness, and their eagerness to help our daughter thrive. The administration communicates with parents in a timely and articulate manner, and we're impressed by the excellence with which every program and event is run. We are grateful to have this exemplary school in our community.
Small class room and outstanding teacher!! I am so amaze of the quality of the education and how they handle learning/behavior challenges.
My family moved to the Seacoast region almost ten years ago in order to attend PCA. We are so glad that we did! We love the school! As one of the other reviewers said, I'm not sure where some of the negative comments are coming from. PCA can't respond online to some of the complaining families because of student confidentiality-- I would caution readers that there are always two sides to every story. My own children are safe and loved at the school, have had wonderful teachers, and are challenged academically. PCA has won the state championship in math for the past two years, is the state's reigning Quiz Bowl champion (even beating Phillips Exeter and St. Thomas!) and has some of the highest SAT scores in New England. To say that PCA is sub par academically is ludicrous and unfounded. We're so glad that we've been able to be part of the school these past 10 years and are looking forward to another 10 years!
PCA a fantastic school! I have two students in the Upper School. Both are taking Honors and AP classes. As a family, we couldn't be happier with the academics and college preparation our kids are getting here. GO EAGLES!!!!!
We are extremely pleased with the level of communication from school to home. PCA emphasizes and values school/family relationships! Looking forward to a great year ahead!
I m very surprised by the negative comments about PCA. My children have attended 3 separate Christian Schools in the seacoast area. One of their schools closed and another school was not academically challenging. My children transferred several years ago, and we have been extremely happy ever since. My oldest child is now in college and is doing very well. She scored very well on her SAT scores and was the recipient of enough scholarship money that her first year of school was reduced by 50%. She was not a writer when she first started attending PCA. PCA was instrumental to her growth; she received a 10 out of a possible 12 on her written portion of the SAT test, and scored a 4 on her AP test. I'm happy she doesn't have to take English as a freshman in college. My son is still attending PCA and I'm grateful for the wonderful supportive teachers that have dedicated so much of themselves to my children. As to the Christian aspect, my children and family have never seen any behavior that was not "Christ like". Extremely blessed to be a part of the PCA community!
As with all schools, some people will be happy, others will not. Our family is very happy with both the quality of education that PCA provides as well as the Christian atmosphere. We were not looking for a school to take the place of the church or the family in terms of teaching our children the bible. However, the teachers at PCA integrate biblical principals and moral values in all they do as well as concentrate on various books of the bible according to grade level. Our children are well adjusted, challenged and happy at PCA. PCA works hard to accelerate gifted children, allowing them to move forward in Math and other areas. PCA offers an extensive fine arts program and athletic opportunities. It is a joy to be part of the PCA community.
Horrible school. Scholastically the curriculum does not prepare students for college and the "spiritual" side is plagued with hypocrisy and judgement. We sent our children there and promptly pulled them out. Do not waste your money. Go to St. Thomas as it is a much more superior school.
We are practicing Catholics who absolutely love Portsmouth Christian Academy. Portsmouth Christian Academy is a blessing to our family. As parents, we are extremely pleased with the school. The faculty is committed to the personal growth in knowledge and faith for every student. The teachers are kind and understanding; you can feel the love in the school the minute you walk through the door. Our two sons love their school and the teachers that make it so special. We are grateful that our children have the opportunity to attend a school that they love and where the love of Jesus is present.
I was raised with a Catholic education all of my scholastic life. Never ever in my life have I ever seen such un-Christian and hypocritical behavior from a community that prides itself in living in the "spirit of Jesus' teachings" Instead of ministering to students who need them at any given moment, they are quick to kick out students and abandon them. They should be ashamed of themselves. Sending our children there was a huge waste of our time and money. Disgusting, judgmental and false is what they are.
The teachers in the lower school are underpaid, several are barely qualified to teach, and the leadership is downright strange, almost robotic. They are all about the money. Don't be fooled by their self proclaimed love of children...its all about the money. They wany your investment, yet time and again, they will not invest in the children nor are they committed to helping the kids that need a little extra attention.
The teachers are very caring!
My three children attended PCA for only one year because we moved out of state. I must say I was so pleased with the teachers and students, They all had wonderful years and met great friends that will last them a lifetime. I highly recommend this school! It was a true blessing for my children to be here. As far as the last comment, they only moved the graduation by 30 minutes. Being in the state championships is an opportunity that doesn't come around very often in smaller private schools.(by the way they won!) I was very understanding and was blown away by the graduation ceremony! The key note speaker was incredible! My daughter couldn't of been prouder than to graduate from this school. I pray God's blessings on PCA.
Beautiful campus, some wonderful teachers, but be very careful! Nepotism reigns at PCA for school board members' children and family members and there isn't anything you can do about it! You cannot address the school board, in fact they are MIA. The Head of School works for the school board and he is not even a little bit helpful or interested. PCA is expensive for the education received, and Christian values never supercede the "almighty" dollar from our experiences. This year, for example, they changed the time for the high school graduation to accomodate a baseball game. VERY disappointing. We will not return.
PCA is as it says a Christian school which encourages the people to be loving--as Jesus is. The school has excellent sports, library, science, and art programs. The school has a research program that starts around 2nd gr. that helps the children to learn to write and do coherent interesting research projects. There are also interesting hands on projects going on throughout the year. My 2 boys have enjoyed it there a lot--as much as 2 busy boys can enjoy being inside or away from their computers! The school library has helped keep them interested in reading when their interest was starting to flag. I appreciate knowing I will be told if something in the upcoming teaching might cause some concern for some parents. I'm responsible for my kid's education so I'm glad PCA is there to help work with me.

A Promise Not Yet Kept
December 10, 2009 - Posted by Maurice Belanger
This post is by Forum intern Danielle Alvarado
On December 10, 1948, the United Nations passed the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. In "recognition of the inherent dignity and inalienable rights of all members of the human family," the body's members "pledged themselves to achieve the promotion of universal respect for and observance of human rights and fundamental freedoms."
The drafters went on to let us know exactly what they had in mind: protection from arbitrary detention, equal protection under the law, fair and safe working conditions, and the right to education are just a few of the provisions they laid out. They are all admirable goals on the best of days; unfortunately for many immigrants who find themselves in the United States 61 years later, these are not the best of days.
Amidst political grandstanding, vindictive enforcement measures reliant on racial profiling, and discrimination at work, and on the street, immigrants are under siege. Instead of protection, refugees and asylum seekers are now more likely to join the 400,000 individuals held annually by our sprawling immigration detention system that is rife with poor management and abuse. Unscrupulous employers who profit from undocumented labor call in immigration agents when those workers attempt to unionize. More than 5,600 migrants have died in the deserts of the Southwest as a result of a border enforcement strategy that aims to keep out the immigrant workers for whom no legal avenue exists in our broken immigration system.
We need consider only one recently-departed CNN host to gauge how well we are meeting another one of the declaration's goals: "act[ing] towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood."
Broken families, rampant abuse of workers, and the all-too-frequent affronts to dignity. I can't help but think that this was not the kind of existence the Declaration's authors had it mind, especially not for those of us living in a country that so often served as a global moral compass of sorts. We can, and must do better. Passing long-overdue comprehensive immigration reform is an important first step.
Across the country immigrant communities and their allies are commemorating Human Rights Day with a simple message: we are here to help the United States keep the promise it made 61 years ago. Here are a few examples:
In Portland, CAUSA is holding a candlelight vigil at the Edith Green Federal Building at 4:30 pm.
The Council on American Islamic Relations (Chicago) and the Jewish Council on Urban Affairs are holding an interfaith event at First United Methodist Church.
In Arizona, Border Action Network members march for human rights and immigration reform in Tucson, Nogales, and Douglas.
Over 70 people representing 25 groups from throughout New Jersey will march six and half miles from the Federal Immigration Building in Newark to the Elizabeth Detention Center.
In Washington DC, Representative Raul Grijalva (D-AZ) hosts a public screening of "The 800 Mile Wall." The film chronicles the efforts of humanitarians along the border.
By this time next year, Congress will have passed comprehensive immigration reform. By this time next year, for the many victims of our broken immigration system, we will have started to make good on the promise we made in 1948.

Fun, fitness and green transportation all in one package? Yep. Personal mobility and transportation has never been better.
Pick the one that is the right fit for you and your lifestyle.
Get about 10 miles per charge on the 36v Lite and use it for a workout as well; the 36v gets around 16 miles per charge and the 48V averages about 24 miles per charge.
Just step on, twist the throttle and Go.
"It's an enormous amount of fun". Time Magazine
The Trikke EV's big point-of-difference is actually that it is so easy to ride – and sooooo much fun that you will actually want to ride it, because it's an electric carving three-wheeler, and just look at what you can do when you have a bit of confidence. Gizmag
Here are just some of the reasons you should get a Trikke Pon-e:
The Trikke EV is the most user-friendly, light electric mobility solution on the market. Riding one is easier than walking. Just step onto its stable, 3-wheeled platform, twist the throttle and go.

The face-off between the Ohio Department of Natural Resources and Patriot Water continued Tuesday, as the company's president, Andrew Blocksom, had choice words for an agency he says is attacking his business.
Blocksom finds himself in yet another dispute with ODNR, which he says has taken aim at his company because the agency views it as a competitor in the drilling-waste-disposal business.
Patriot learned from a representative at D&L Energy last week that the regulatory agency would not allow the waste- water treatment facility to accept drilling waste from the company's headquarters at 2761 Salt Springs Road in Youngstown.
Last month, the permits of D&L Energy and Hardrock Excavating were revoked, with the stipulation that drilling waste could no longer be stored at the companies' headquarters, after state regulators determined that oil, brine and drilling mud were dumped intentionally down a storm drain at the site.
In a statement released on the matter, ODNR said Tuesday its main objective "is to enforce strict regulations to protect Ohio waters and ensure environmental protection, as well as public health and safety."
It added that a letter was sent to Patriot notifying the company that it was not listed on the "approved disposal plan for shale transportation, which is required to properly track and ensure the chain of custody for oil-field waste."
Patriot treats light, low-salt-content water generated from fracking, a process in which sand, water and chemicals are pumped into shale at a high pressure to release gas trapped within rock formations thousands of feet underground. It does not treat heavier, high-salinity brine that is easily disposed of in injection wells.
Blocksom contends that he operates under the scrutiny of local, federal and state officials, using scientifically proven methods to treat the lightweight, lower-salinity drilling water. He said Tuesday his company was granted permission by the previous ODNR administration to dispose of the lighter fluid.
The company determines what haulers are bringing to its facility to ensure it meets criteria for disposal. It then conducts thorough testing and treating, he said. Afterward, the treated water is sent to the Warren Water Treatment plant where the process is repeated and the treated water is reintroduced into the Mahoning River, just as other industrial wastewater is.
"ODNR wants a fee for every barrel that goes into an injection well, and they continue to make false accusations that my business threatens the [Mahoning] river," he said. "If I was a threat, wouldn't you think I'd be out of business? I can't screw up here, there's checks and balances, I have big brother looking over my shoulder constantly and my company does not have a single violation."
ODNR has directed D&L to pump more than 300,000 gallons of drilling waste at the site into Class II injection wells. ODNR did not answer questions Tuesday regarding its possible concerns over competition with Patriot. The agency receives a small fee for each barrel of waste disposed of in Ohio's injection wells.
Last year, the agency claimed that Patriot's treatment processes were ineffective and harmful to Ohio's waterways, effectively shutting Patriot's operations for three months, beginning last April. Patriot filed two lawsuits against ODNR in 2012, one of which seeks punitive damages for the time it was closed.
In August, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency issued a 900-page report confirming Patriot's full compliance with federal law regarding wastewater treatment, Blocksom said.
ODNR also said Tuesday that it has proposed legislation in the governor's budget bill that would prohibit the disposal of any treated oil-field waste into Ohio's groundwater.
April Bott, Blocksom's attorney, says that legislation is aimed specifically at Patriot, as it is the only facility in the state that treats drilling waste.
In a letter sent Monday to ODNR, warning the agency of its interference in Patriot's operations, Blocksom claims light, low-salinity water creates problems for injection wells.
Because it is lighter, low-salinity water requires more pressure when operators push it down wells. In his letter, Blocksom linked the pressure variances granted to D&L in 2011 to a series of earthquakes its Northstar 1 injection well triggered on New Year's Eve.
The pressure disrupts the well and has the ability to plug it up, leading to seismic activity, Blocksom wrote in his letter. He also claimed that the agency is withholding the fluid's radioactivity from injection-well operators. Though no radium was found in OEPA tests of the drilling fluid during its investigation, brine does contain radium, and Blocksom said his facility found the element in its own tests.
Jeffrey Dick, a geology professor at Youngstown State University, said light, low-salinity drilling waste does require pressure variances, beyond regulatory operating rates, but he added there have been no conclusive studies to suggest more pressure causes seismic activity.
This dispute between ODNR and Patriot has been going on now for over a year.
As far as I'm concerned any safe alternative to injection well disposal should be encouraged. If Patriot has developed an innovative process that is economically viable and safe for the environment then they should be applauded.
Patriot has been under close scrutinity for an extended time now (obviously more scrutinity than D&L and Hard Rock). ODNR has watched their process very carefully to detect violations.
Should ODNR continue to monitor them, of course. But since ODNR was unsuccessful to close Patriot down legally, they really should not be attempting to use extra-legal means to inhibit their ability to conduct business.
ODNR tactics are shady here!
Drilling in China and importing LNG and oil is the logical thing to do. Most of our manufacturing is already done there.
If the treamtnet plant can not treat the waste why is it sent there. If that is what this spat is all about i got to side with the ODNR here There is more to this story then we know.
"Though no radium was found in OEPA tests of the drilling fluid during its investigation, brine does contain radium, and Blocksom said his facility found the element in its own tests."
This radium exists in the deepest shale - formations that also create the highest-salinity flowback (which Patriot denies it treats), so there is an inconsistency here.
Keep in mind that even if Patriot claims a 95% "success" rate of removing contaminants like radium, if they treat 50 mil gallons of flowback per year, that equals _ONE_ D&L spill going into the Mahoning River annually.
We need to stop fracking and turning Ohio into a gigantic gas & oil industry Superfund site!
We need to put the Valley on a different path and make Youngstown the leader in Sustainable Energy business and technology...
Well stated GeorgeinYoungstown. Also if they want to drill in China go for it the environmental laws in China would be even more to their liking then here.
I doubt all that radium is natural. Another claim form the industry that is not entirely true.

Twenty years of trouble: German Bosque's record
February 7: Two weeks short of graduating from the Miami-Dade police academy, Bosque is arrested for driving a stolen truck, possession of a firearm and impersonating a police officer. He was carrying a fake police badge, a semi-automatic weapon and wearing a black T-shirt with "POLICE" inscribed on the back. Though later acquitted, he was tossed out of the police academy. At the time, he vowed to try to re-enter the academy.
June 10: Arrested in Jacksonville, jailed for two days and found guilty of driving with a suspended license.
Aug. 16: Hurricane Andrew strikes South Florida. Bosque is hired in Florida City, which is desperate for police in the wake of the storm.
Asked to leave the Florida City after his supervisors discover his tainted record. He is hired as an Opa-locka officer
Sept. 8: Four are killed in a chase involving a stolen car that sped through Opa-locka but crashed outside the city. Bosque had been following the car shortly before the crash. Questions were raised about whether he was pursuing the vehicle against department policy.
March: Suspended five days for an unauthorized police pursuit outside the city.
May: Five-day suspension for another unauthorized police pursuit.
May 22: Bosque calls in sick, complaining of food poisoning, in order to vacation in Cancún.
Feb. 1: Bosque attempts to stop a motorist driving with no headlights. The driver flees at high speed, and Bosque pursues the vehicle until it crashes into a tree. Bosque lies to his superiors, telling them he cut off the chase, then waits 15 minutes, calls in the crash on his personal cell phone as if he had arrived at the scene well after the accident. He is suspended for 20 days.
Sept. 5: Allegations of excessive force are filed by a man who claims that Bosque kicked and punched him repeatedly while he was handcuffed. Deadline to investigate complaint expires. No action taken.
March 1: Bosque is terminated following a high-speed police pursuit that violated policies.
June 12: Bosque is rehired after the PBA successfully wins arbitration.
Aug. 28: Bosque punches a 14-year-old boy three times in the head, telling the youth: "I am the law, if I feel like it right now I can f--- you up and no one will say nothing to me.'' The assault is witnessed by a fellow officer and Bosque admits striking the boy. The state attorney declines to prosecute.
August 31: Suspended one day for failing to cooperate with the city attorney and for skipping a meeting to go on a trip to Key West.
Dec. 8: Bosque is fired in connection with the incident involving the juvenile.
February 26: Bosque is rehired.
May 8: Bosque's girlfriend reports that Bosque slapped her in the face while they were sitting in his personal vehicle, then slapped his own face and called police, telling them that she had battered him. An investigation subsequently showed that Bosque's facial injuries were self-inflicted. Investigators recommended he be terminated immediately. Charges of lying under oath and making a false police report are dropped because the department failed to initiate disciplinary action within 60 days.
July 30: Disciplined for making a false statement on a police report while under oath.
Feb. 12: Man files a complaint alleging he was stopped by Bosque, who ordered him to place his hands on his patrol car. Bosque patted him down, removing $55 from his shirt pocket. Bosque returns all his property except the money. Complaint not sustained.

A vehicle inspection of Bosque's patrol car uncovers several crack pipes, Florida auto tags, several ID cards and an empty Smirnoff vodka bottle. Investigators said the properties should have been properly bagged, labeled and impounded. Subsequently, IA investigators find that a baggie of suspected cocaine he seized a month earlier also was not placed into evidence, and was also found in his car. The state attorney's office declines to prosecute, saying that there was no corrupt intent.

Jan. 24: Promoted to sergeant
May: Bosque is suspended with pay after he allows a newspaper reporter to ride in his police vehicle without permission. During the unauthorized interview he gloats about how many times he has been arrested and suspended. "I'm an excellent police officer but I break the rules,'' he says.

July 20, 2005Press Release from the South Health District
Valdosta, GA- New mosquito groups have tested positive for Eastern Equine Encephalitis (EEE) in North and South Lowndes County. In addition a horse tested positive for EEE in North Lowndes County.
County commissioners were notified and spraying around those areas began immediately. Larvacide tablets have also been made available to citizens of Lowndes County that have standing water that cannot be drained.
These groups follow findings of mosquitoes with EEE and West Nile Virus (WNV) within the city limits of Valdosta in early June. Mosquito surveillance began in 2001 when WNV entered Georgia. The program in Valdosta and Lowndes County is the only remaining program of its type in the region. The surveillance program provides data on vector and virus activity to local, state and national health agencies.
There are several permanent sampling locations in Valdosta and Lowndes County, with additional collections taken from locations where there is suspicion of virus activity. Mosquitoes collected from the sites are sorted and sent to the state lab for testing.
Mosquito surveillance is the first indication that a mosquito borne illness is in the area. In addition to the mosquito surveillance and collection, we also are actively involved in dead bird surveillance, testing them for EEE and WNV as well.
The South Health District works in cooperation with the Georgia Department of Agriculture to monitor symptomatic animals and with local hospitals to do human surveillance. Throughout Georgia, Florida and Alabama, there has been an increase in EEE activity this year.
Not only is there an increase in the numbers of mosquitoes that carry this disease, there is also an increase in infected horses and humans in both Florida and Alabama. There have been no confirmed human cases of EEE in Georgia. There was one confirmed case of WNV in a 34 year old male from Paulding County.
Health officials urge citizens to take the following simple steps to prevent mosquitoes from breeding and to protect against mosquito bites:
It is still early in the mosquito-breeding season so it is very important that you teach and practice mosquito safety.
Help keep your property and family safe during the spring and summer months. "Now that we have identified these mosquito borne illnesses in South Lowndes, North Lowndes and within the city limits of Valdosta, I hope that our citizens see the urgency of personal protection," said Lynne Feldman, MD, MPH, District Health Director.
If you have any questions about mosquito safety, please call the South Health District at 229-333-5290 or toll free at 866-801-5360.
