JACKSON, MS (WLBT) - Madison County Supervisor Tim Johnson announced today he will be on the Republican ticket for Central District Transportation Commissioner.
Johnson says he intends to bring new jobs to the state. He says he will use his experience as a County Supervisor to fast track new roads and bridges.
"Mississippi needs more jobs. We can bring more jobs to our state by improving our roads and bridges and making conditions favorable for increased economic development" Said Johnson.
As a supervisor, Johnson has overseen more than $69 million worth of road construction and improvements in Madison County including new bridges and resurfaced roads. Johnson presently serves as President of the Board of Supervisors.
The press release says "Building new roads and highways takes far too long." "He faces incumbent MDOT Commissioner Dick Hall. Johnson and Hall have gone head to head in the past on issues such as the Reunion interchange in Madison county.
That project collapsed one year ago when Supervisors refused to let MDOT oversee construction. Johnson blamed MDOT for not upholding their end of the bargain. Commissioner Hall blamed county waste for the failure.
Anchor Dave Benton said he is "dedicated to continue good work" as he fights his diagnosis.More >>

Scientists find the first definitive genetic link to autism
With more people being diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder every year, there's been a debate as to whether autism is getting more prevalent or whether it's just being diagnosed more, and whether autism is genetic or caused by environmental conditions. The second part of that question seems to have been answered now that scientists have definitively linked autism to certain genes.
It's the first time researchers have pinpointed a specific genetic component with the spectrum of disorders, which includes Asperger's. They also found that the risk is higher in older parents, in particular new fathers over 35. The findings are published in three papers in the journal Nature.
The mutations are rare and account for a small number of actual cases, which have reached the alarming rate of one in every 88 children, according to a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report released last week. Despite the small numbers, the discovery of the mutations is significant because it gives scientists a road map to further explore Autism's biology. Follow-up research, The New York Times reports, could uncover enough rare mutations to account for up to 20 percent of Autism spectrum cases.
Some researchers, however, were more cautious about the significance of the research:
"This is a great beginning, and I'm impressed with the work, but we don't know the cause of these rare mutations, or even their levels in the general population," said Dr. Aravinda Chakravarti of the Institute of Genetic Medicine at the Johns Hopkins University Medical School, who was not involved in the studies. "I'm not saying it's not worth it to follow up these findings, but I am saying it's going to be a hard slog."

Or "How So Many People See My Blog"
"It's a global revolution everybody get down, cause when I look around the majority is brown…"
I was literally thinking about this the other day.
Like, honestly, the native peoples of most countries in the world are brown, right? And even now, looking at this map, the people who inhabit most of the countries of the world are at least brown.
So, honestly, when we complain about whitewashing or the erasure of black and brown people in advertising, stories, films, art, etc., it's really not us wanting to insert ourselves randomly into places — it's us wanting to see the ACTUAL representation of black and brown people. You see how much of this muhfuckin' world we make up? How you gon' have a whole damn country with two PoC? fuckoutta here.
Nikki Jones, a sociologist from UC Santa Barbara and Meda Chesney Lind, University of Hawaii, and attendee of the conference, has studied the statistics of imprisoned black girls for over 10 years and explained, "we have never seen these kind of numbers before," reports EthnoBlog.
So far, the cause for this epidemic has been attributed to national zero tolerance policies and a justice system that treats girls of color differently than white girls.
"Here's a lesser-known red flag in the black community: the fastest growing incarcerated population in the country is African American girls and young women. What does not seem to be rising however, is the number of black girls who are actually committing crimes."

Piali Roy dropping truth bombs on the malicious use of the racist slur 'Paki' in the UK and beyond.
Originating in England, "Paki" was the kind of word that would easily spurt out of an English racist in an early Hanif Kureishi film. The Oxford English Dictionary dates its first usage in print to as late as 1964. The term crossed the Atlantic to Canada in the early 1970s. By the 1980s, "dothead" and "curryhead" had been coined as American alternatives to "Paki". And now, some Indians have chosen to appropriate this term of abuse and partition its meaning.
This racist term has been used to a degree that even other brown people - Arabs, Persians, Afghans - are attacked with variations of this word. If you're going to use it, expect reactions and don't complain. A slur is a slur is a slur. No two ways about it.
(via mehreenkasana)
So we understand men get male privilege?
We understand straight folks get straight privilege?
We understand cisfolks get cis privilege?
We understand white folks get white privilege?
We understand colorism gives lighter skinned folks color privilege?
So can we step to Privilege 102 and understand most privileges aren't always a binary? They're a hierarchy or a spectrum based on how society views and treats you. And that can shift based on circumstances and situation. Is it possible to comprehend that the oppressions are not the same in type or necessarily degree?
Do we get how people can, and do USE THEIR PRIVILEGE against people who are lesser privileged on a given axis?
So what is it when Asian Americans cosign on antiblackness, anti-latino bullshit, anti-muslim bullshit?* What do you call that? (example: Michelle Malkin)
Does it mean Asian Am's ain't getting stepped on, ain't catching shit? No. Just as much as White Women can be oppressed in some ways AND oppressing others at the same fucking time.
Do you want to end the system of injustice? Include your own privilege. Observe it, check it. Call out your communities when and where they inflict the privilege you share. Don't be silent, don't defend it, check it and stop it. Stop shitting on the people below, stop others from shitting on the people below in these hierarchies- that's how you be an ally, and make a space for alliances to build.
But for fuck's sake - if you can't figure out how someone can be oppressed and privileged at the same time, you going to catch some really hard times when it comes to white women or gay white men, or men of color patriarchy or any of the other million fucking ways shit can intersect.
Either we all get free or no one gets free. Start by stepping off the necks you stand on. Get other folks to stop standing on people's necks. Don't demand the people you're standing on to help you before you help them.
This concept is only difficult to people who are invested in trying to hold on to the oppressor's promises that you're worth more than "those people".
*"What about dark skinned muslim Latino Asian Am folks?" Yes, they exist! If you are one, you fucking know what I mean about Asian Privilege, because you're seeing the Asians who get it for fitting White conceptions of what Asians are supposed to be, and all the ways you're not it. More importantly, you see how those folks often are the first to buy into, and support the system, and inflict their privilege on everyone else…
If a feminist goes on a rant about how all men have done her wrong, DON'T say, "I'm not like that." If a person of color goes on a rant about whiteness and how they feel oppressed by it, DON'T say, "I'm not like that." If a trans* person goes on a rant about how ciswomen and radical feminist don't include them in the feminist rights package, DON'T say, "I'm not like that." And If someone from the LGBTQ community goes on a rant about how straight cisgender people limit their rights and silence their voices, DON'T say, "I'm not like that."
Do you know why you shouldn't say that four word sentence or sentences of the like? I'll tell you why. Because they are the minority and by default you will be placed with the majority because you are not part of their struggle for rights. By saying that you aren't like that, you turn their problem into your problem and it isn't about you. It doesn't matter if you've been made uncomfortable for a split second because you were included with the majority by default, because they have been made uncomfortable throughout history for being a minority.
You want to help fight for equal rights? Do you want to prove that you're on their/our side? Then come to a protest. Speak out when you see racism, sexism, homophobia, or anything of the like. Don't be a two faced activist. We/they will notice. We/they will appreciate it. But don't turn our/their problem into your problem. Don't ask for brownie points for being a decent human being.
"I created this series of photos in response to Iran's president Ahmadinejad's naive comments that we do not have homosexuality in Iran. I wanted to say that we do have homosexuals and we have lots of them. My hope was to give solace to Muslims who feel they cannot be Muslims and homosexuals at the same time. I wanted to say that your love for God or belief in good for humanity should not determine who you're choosing to love. My hope is that more people come to see that we should leave people to make their own choices, regarding who they want to love. I think the message of love from all of the prophets was lost, in all the noise from the later organizers of religions and their followers. I wish to remind people of that original intention of our belief in a higher good." -
This makes me happy beyond belief.

COLUMBUS, Ohio - The executive director of the Frank W. Hale Black Cultural Center called for the arrest of the person responsible for graffiti that might have been racially-charged after it was found on a campus building Thursday morning.
The words "Long Live Zimmerman" were found spray-painted on the walls of The Frank W. Hale Black Cultural Center, located at 153 W. 12th Ave., on the Ohio State campus, at about 8 a.m., 10TV's Kevin Landers reported.
Some said that the graffiti indicated support for George Zimmerman, the Florida neighborhood watch volunteer who shot and killed an unarmed black teenager in February.
The vandalism was found one night after a student rally took place in memory of Martin, Landers reported.
"Ignorance is bliss," said Larry Williamson, the executive director of the Frank W. Hale Black Cultural Center. "We want the person brought to trial, caught. We want to make sure these kinds of things don't happen."
Police said that no witnesses to the crime were identified. The graffiti was power-washed from the wall later in the morning.
"graffiti that might have been racially-charged"
Are you fucking joking? Might have been?
At this point, somebody could commit a hate crime and say, "I did it because I hate Black people." over and over again and we'd be urged not to leap to conclusions because there are a thousand different things that could mean.
Wow, I really don't like this. :|
"an excuse for white people to escape the fact that they fucked up the world for centuries"
No, no, no. I am human, but there's races within humans, and I'm very much a Pakistani gal, and I take pride in it. So you can take your sickly sweet excuses and colour blindness and kindly go away.
A few years ago, I was involved in developing a movie based on a popular series of YA novels, a science-fiction thriller series set in a dystopian future and featuring a female protagonist trying to make her way in an oppressive, brutal society.
Because it was not just one novel but three, it was incumbent upon me to lay out not just one movie but a whole trilogy, describing the arc of the protagonist and her journey from helpless waif to leader of the revolution.
It was a lot of work, but the producer was very pleased with my take and we took it to the studio.
The studio executive we went to see was a very nice, very kind, very intelligent young woman. I pitched to her not one movie but three, I pitched to her for over an hour, laying out a tapestry, a world of intrigue, action, spectacle and personal development.
The studio exec was fascinated and very impressed, and then, at the end of the pitch, said "That's really great, Todd, you really nailed it, it's perfect. I'm just wondering — is there some way to make the protagonist a boy?"
I was dumbstruck. No, there was no way to make the protagonist a boy. The books were very much about a female perspective on this strange futuristic world — the two were inseparable. You literally could not tell the same story with a male protagonist.
But the studio exec explained, "We can't make a movie with a female protagonist. Boys won't go to see it." She also explained that girls won't go to see science fiction movies, or action movies. I explained to her that one recent movie franchise — Pirates – very much had a female protagonist and had done very well indeed, that another franchise —The Terminator – also had a female protagonist and had done very well indeed, that another franchise — Alien – was also a futuristic sci-fi series with a female protagonist, and had done very well indeed.
The studio exec's hands were tied. Word had come down from above, "No big-budget movies with female protagonists." The only movies that could be made with a female protagonist were intimate personal dramas and romances — that is, cheap movies.
My guess is that today, this very day, in offices all over Hollywood, studio executives are still telling writers "We don't make science-fiction movies with a female protagonist." And when the writer says "But what about Hunger Games?" they will make an excuse — "Well, but that's The Hunger Games, it's a phenomenon, it's its own thing, you can't hope to repeat that."
This irks me so much.
Makes me sick people think like this.

AMBER ALERT: Have you seen Clarence?
The deputy wrote: "Clarence is approximately three feet tall and last seen wearing tiny blue jeans with a tiny blue T-shirt and black and white sneakers size small."
Parrott said he didn't notice Clarence missing until April 8 because his car had broken down. He parked it at the Stillwell Parkway house, which is owned by his landlord. He was helping the landlord remodel the house and the new renters were fine with him leaving it there.
He went to get the car earlier this month and noticed it was unlocked, even though he had locked it months ago. A suitcase which contained Clarence was in the trunk, but Clarence was missing.

Britney Spears dad orders her to wear a bra
Britney Spears' dad, Jamie who has legal control over all Britney's affairs has imposed a host of new rules on the singer. The poster child for Celebrity Psychos is a 28 years old mother of two that can't go to Starbucks without Daddy's permission.
Well Daddy is embarrassed by constant pictures of her nipples popping out of her clothes and has insisted she only leaves her Los Angeles home wearing the correct support. One security guard was told he is close to getting fired because he lets her go out without her bra.
Can Daddy also get her to stop singing?

Personal injury lawyers advertise in hospitals
There was a story in the Globe and Mail this week about a visitors lounge at the ICU in Sunnybrook Hospital with a large prominent sign (see above) with the name of personal injury law firm in downtown Toronto. St. Michael's Hospital in Toronto has a waiting room in the intensive care unit on the trauma neurosurgery floor also named after the firm. It seems that law firms are donating money for hospital naming rights.
Sunnybrook has the largest trauma unit in Toronto and many of the more seriously injured auto accident victims are treated there. St. Michael's has one of the largest brain injury units in Toronto and many of their patients are also auto accident victims. I guess this may be the latest in ambulance chasing.
Naming rights have spread from the private sector to the public sector including hospitals, universities and other government-funded buildings. What does a naming opportunity cost?
At the Toronto Rehabilitation Institute, two personal injury law firms donated $1-million in total. For that, their names will appear in three patient dining rooms.
I would be interested in knowing how a bio-ethicist views this phenomenon. Comments posted with the articles varied. A lot of people took the opportunity to bash lawyers. There are potentially some big dollars available through auto insurance policies so despite doing a good job representing their clients they do take a hit. Some were critical of the government for underfunding the health care system forcing hospitals to take this money. But even if the hospital had more government funding, would they turn down large sums of money just to hang a sign in a room?
Gas Station Clerk Wins Powerball 258 Million Dollars
A Missouri man who won a $258 million Powerball jackpot and plans to use some of the money to pay bills, replace his two missing front teeth and take his children to Disney World said he hasn't decided yet if he'll quit his job at the convenience store (salary $7.25 an hour) where he bought the winning ticket.
Chris Shaw — a 29-year-old tattooed father of three who was raised by his grandparents in rural southern Missouri — came forward Thursday as the winner of the 10th-largest Powerball jackpot ever. Shaw said he had just $28.96 in his bank account and recently bought a 1998 Ford Ranger from a friend who agreed to let him pay off the $1,000 price $100 at a time. Now, he said, he no longer has to worry about how he'll pay his friend — or his utility bills.
He has to decide whether to take the jackpot in 30 payments over 29 years or the lump-sum amount of $124,875,122. Why do these people always make it sound like they can't decide whether to quit their job. Like he's going to miss being a convenience store clerk. Even after replacing those front teeth, buying a dozen plaid shirts and installing air conditioning his trailer, he still should have over $100,000,000 to stick in the bank. At 4% interest he will be earning $456 of interest per hour 24/7 - even when he's sleeping. So sit on your sofa with a beer earning $456/hour or pump gas at the convenience store for $7.25.
Tough choice Chris.

Driver of the Year gets busted
A 62-year-old Richmond Hill woman whose terrible parking job became the subject of a viral YouTube video last year was sentenced in Newmarket court. She pleaded guilty to a charge of failing to report, and was given a $500 fine and ordered to pay restitution to the two victims whose vehicles she damaged.
She was also given six months probation and is restricted from driving between the hours of 7 p.m. and 7 a.m. The driving restriction I don't get since her accident occurred during the day. So how does the restriction relate to her offense?

Migraine brings on Chinese accent
A British woman has suddenly started speaking with a Chinese accent after suffering a severe migraine, she said in comments quoted by British media Tuesday.
Sarah Colwill believes she has Foreign Accent Syndrome (FAS) which has caused her distinctive West Country drawl to be replaced with a Chinese twang, even though she has never even visited the country.
The 35-year-old from Plymouth, southwest England, is now undergoing speech therapy following an acute form of migraine last month which reportedly left her with a form of brain damage.
"I moved to Plymouth when I was 18 months old so I have always spoken like a local. But following one attack, an ambulance crew arrived and they said I definitely sounded Chinese," she said.
FAS has been documented around the world and is usually linked to a stroke or traumatic brain injury. It was first recorded in the early 20th century and there are thought to be only a couple of dozen sufferers around the world.
One out of three teens send 100 text messages per day
A third of US teenagers with cell phones send more than 100 texts a day as texting has exploded to become the most popular means of communication for young people, according to new research.
The study by the Pew Internet and American Life Project, which offers a glimpse into teen culture and communication, found that texting has risen dramatically even since 2008, eclipsing cell phone calls, instant messaging, social networks - and talking face-to-face.
The Pew Research Centre said that three-quarters of young people between the ages of 12 and 17 now own cell phones and of those that do, girls typically send or receive 80 text messages per day and boys, 30 per day.
"Texting is now the central hub of communication in the lives of teens today, and it has really skyrocketed in the last 18 months," Pew researcher Amanda Lenhart said, attributing the rise in part to payment plans that allow unlimited texting. Text messaging has become so much a part of teenagers' lives that 87 percent of those who text said that they sleep with, or next to, their phone.

About that Ontario doctor shortage
For almost 20 years now there has been a reported shortage of doctors in Ontario. Everyone seems to have a reason - doctor burnout, stress on the job, too much paperwork, etc. Well it's all a bunch of nonsense. Ontario sits in last place in Canada for number of doctors per 100,000 in population. So 20 years into this problem and it hasn't been resolved. That's because the government has no intention in correcting the shortage.
It's quite easy for the government to supply more doctors - just expand medical school admissions and allow foreign trained doctors to practice here. But if 1,000 additional doctors were to each bill OHIP $250,000 each year that would cost the government $2.5 billion. That doesn't include additional tests and other procedures that these doctors would order.
The Ontario government has cleverly used the doctor shortage as justification to shift work to other health care providers. Legislation was recently passed that amended to Regulated Health Professions Act to expand the services that many health professions can provide despite resistance from doctors. For example physiotherapists will be able to prescribe drugs and order x-rays. These changes have been justified by relieving doctors of these responsibilities. Other professions will provide these services for less money. In some cases they are not funded by OHIP which means payment of these services are transferred to the public.
The recent spat with pharmacies is just part of the government's long term strategy to save money and offload costs to others. So don't expect the doctor shortage to be resolved. It's permanent and part of the Ontario landscape.

I need to start taking books out of the library again
A 1992 survey of 5,000 U.S. librarians, long withheld by a professional journal, found one in five respondents had engaged in sexual trysts among the stacks.
Will Manly, who said the New York-based Wilson Library Bulletin withheld the results of his survey in 1992, published results recently on his Web site indicating 51 percent of librarians in the early 90s were willing to pose nude for money and 61 percent of respondents admitting to renting an X-rated film, the New York Daily News reported Monday.
Manly said the survey questions were printed in the now-defunct journal, but bosses withheld the results and fired him for the saucy survey, which he said received 5,000 responses from librarians.
The survey also found 22 percent of respondents believed condom dispensers in library bathrooms would be a good idea and 14 percent said they had been sexually harassed by a patron.

The greatest terrorist threats are probably still from within
15 years ago today, Timothy McVeigh destroyed the lives of 168 people and damaged many more when he detonated a truck filled with explosives parked adjacent to the Oklahoma City Federal Building. More than 300 buildings were damaged or destroyed within a sixteen-block area of downtown causing an estimated $650 million in property damage. The Oklahoma City bombing was the worst act of terrorism on American soil until the attacks of September 11, 2001.
Man busted for DUI in Barbie car
And when police asked the driver to pull over, the Barbie car, with its top speed of 4mph, was hopeless as a getaway vehicle.
Paul Hutton, 40, is regretting his impromptu roadtrip after he was arrested for drink-driving when he tried to take the battery- operated child's toy to a friend's house.
He took the Barbie car home after finding it abandoned ten years ago and has been tinkering with it ever since.Mr Hutton had been drinking on March 28 when he decided to show the jeep off to a friend who lives just 500 yards away.
Police spotted him at 9 pm with his knees tucked up under his chin ambling along. He was arrested when he ignored warnings for him to stop and tried to make a very slow getaway. He was given a three-year ban because he had received another drink-drive ban within the previous ten years.
Nuremberg: It's Lessons For Today
Last night I saw the North American premiere of a documentary on the Nuremberg Trials probably one of the most important films produced in the 20th century. Yet it took 62 years for the film to arrive here.
Completed in 1948, it was widely shown in Germany but the U.S. government determined it was too graphic for American audiences. More importantly, it was believed that the U.S. government feared that public support for the rebuilding of Europe through the Marshall Plan would erode if the American were to see the film. So it was buried all this time.
The film was restored by the original director's (Stuart Schulberg) daughter Sandra including the English-language version which was never finished. It was such an important film because of its powerful anti-war message and a shame that audiences around the world have been denied access to it until now.
The film follows the courtroom drama at Nuremberg as four Allied prosecution teams led by Justice Robert Jackson, Chief U.S. Prosecutor, build their case against the captured Nazi leaders. There were four counts on indictments which are presented in the film through actual footage from the trial. Nazi documents and Nazi films. The documentary builds to a climax with the final summations of the prosecutors and the verdicts of the judges.
It is so powerful and chilling. No stronger anti-war message could be develop yet it has been hidden from the world for 60 years. One quote stands out in the film "let Nuremberg stand as a warning to all who plan and wage agressive war." Looking back over the past 60 years that message has been lost.
An additional viewing has just been scheduled for Sunday, April 25.

Did you know that earthquakes are caused by extramarital sex?
"Many women who dress inappropriately ... cause youths to go astray, taint their chastity and incite extramarital sex in society, which increases earthquakes," Ayatollah Kazem Sedighi told worshippers at overnight prayers in Tehran.
"Calamities are the result of people's deeds," he said.
"We have no way but conform to Islam to ward off dangers."
The Islamic dress code is mandatory in Iran, which has been under clerical rule for more than three decades.
Every post-pubescent woman regardless of her religion or nationality must cover her hair and bodily contours in public. Offenders face punishment and a fine.

Thoughts On David Guetta
"If I scream, if I cry, it's only cause I feel alive"
That moment when you know you're alive. You scream, cry, lose your breathe, and everything is in slow motion. It's memorable because it's a break from the day-to-day predictability.
It can be a city, a friendship, or a loved one. What matters is that the moment is different, and it strikes us.
David Guetta's newest track 'Turn Me On' is the perfect piece for an orchestration. The melodic synth lines, pulsating 4-on-the-floor drum groove, and featured vocals by Nicki Minaj add a perfect blend of 'thickness' to the piece.
Similar to my LMFAO arrangement, I throw in a sweet vibraphone solo to hit the peak moment of this piece. Every time I heard he original I kept hearing this solo, and I kept hearing the chorus at the end repeated multiple times.
I wanted this arrangement to be heavy and slightly dark, so I made sure to paint it with thick double bass lines and crushing brass sectionals. The trombone takes a strong role in this piece, almost to contrast the oboes and clarinets throughout Minaj's verses. That, to me, is what makes it work – the balancing of the heavy instruments to offset the velocity of lighter ones. It's also why I 'thin out' the piece where in he original it was the tutti (everyone playing) section. For years Guetta has been someone I looked up to, and so I was excited to pay tribute to him on this new piece of his.
The lyrics really grabbed me. To imagine entering the world of someone so different and interesting that we can't help but be attracted to them. It's a theme worth paying tribute to, and I hope I captured it in the same beauty as the feeling itself.

Over the last couple days I keep finding myself come back to this website. Bupa's 'The Great South Run.'
Basically for those that don't know it's a 10 mile run in the south of the UK-which is my nearest one. Someone I'm 'getting to know' mentioned they're going to do it, so I'm thinking about doing it? You choose a charity you want to race for and you get sponsorship from friends family etc and you raise money for that charity.

Fivestar Plans Dollar-Based Japan Hedge Fund to Lure Foreigners
June 12 (Bloomberg) -- Fivestar Asset Management Co., a Japanese investment firm, plans to start a dollar-based hedge fund that will invest in Japanese stocks, amid growing interest in the market from foreign investors.
Fivestar is seeking to raise 10 billion yen ($98 million) within a year for both the new fund and its existing yen- denominated Shinbi Japan Equity Long Short Fund, said Masamitsu Ohki, who runs the strategy. The Japanese currency-based fund started at the end of March with 1 billion yen and the return was about zero in the first two months, he said.
Interest in Japan's stock market by overseas investors has increased since Prime Minister Shinzo Abe pledged to revive the world's third-largest economy by pushing measures including a reduction in corporate tax and a review of the Government Pension Investment Fund's portfolio, Ohki said. The benchmark Topix index capped a world-beating rally last year, surging 51 percent, and has since declined more than 5 percent this year.
"Since the rally in June last year, the positive factors surrounding the Japanese stock market have become clear," Ohki, 48, said in an interview in Tokyo yesterday. "The future of Japan's stock market will depend on foreigners."
Ohki's strategy is to take long positions in as many as 150 Japanese companies, while making short bets in 50 to 100 stocks and targets an annual return of 20 percent, he said.
The Eurekahedge Japan Hedge Fund Index declined 1.4 percent in the first five months of this year, based on preliminary figures, after returning a record 28 percent in 2013.
Rising wages and a shortage of labor in Japan are among the investment risks, Ohki said. Companies including Zensho Holdings Co., a restaurant-chain operator, Watami Co., which runs Japanese-style pub chains, and Tsukui Corp., which provides nursing care services at home, are among those that may be affected, he added.
Ohki joined Tokyo-based Fivestar in February from Japanese hedge-fund manager Stats Investment Management Co., where he managed 7 billion yen until he left in December, he said. The Ginga Explorer Fund, which Ohki managed at Stats from July 2010 until his departure had annual return of 25.05 percent, he said.

HAMILTON, Ont. -- Facing the CFL's worst defence proved to be just the right tonic for Kevin Glenn and the Hamilton Tiger-Cats.
Glenn threw two TD strikes as Hamilton rolled past Saskatchewan 33-3 for its first win of the season while leaving Roughriders' rookie head coach Greg Marshall still winless.
Marshall's plight doesn't get any easier as the West Division champions the last two years -- 0-3 to start a season for the first time since 2000 -- visit the defending Grey Cup-champion Montreal Alouettes (3-0) next weekend.
Hamilton scored just 26 points in its first two games but had 23 in the first half alone, delighting the sun-drenched Ivor Wynne Stadium gathering of 22,245.
Glenn and Co. dominated a Riders defence that's surrendered 114 points and 13 touchdowns in three games and came in ranked last overall in yards allowed (433) and passing yards (356.5).
And Hamilton (1-2) did so without injured star receivers Arland Bruce III (lower body) and Maurice Mann (foot).
Chris Williams, with two, and Marcus Thigpen had the Hamilton touchdowns. Justin Medlock booted four field goals and three converts.
Eddie Johnson's 50-yard field goal thwarted Hamilton's bid for its first shutout since 1974.
Glenn came in with just two touchdown passes in Hamilton's first two games but hit Williams on two second-quarter TD strikes to stake the Ticats to a 23-0 half-time lead. The score flattered a terrible Riders' offence that mustered just 16 offensive plays for 34 net yards and two first downs.
Glenn found Williams on a five-yard pass at 1:43 to put Hamilton ahead 16-0 before the two combined on a 13-yard scoring play at 7:38.
But Hamilton should've led by much more.
The Ticats had the ball at the Saskatchewan six-yard line in the first following Renaud Williams' 30-yard interception return, but settled for a field goal. Later in the quarter, Marquay McDaniels couldn't hold on to a long toss from backup Quinton Porter, resulting in another field goal.
Ticats' coach Marcel Bellefeuille made a great challenge late in the first half to keep Saskatchewan off the scoreboard. Riders quarterback Darian Durant appeared to lose a fumble on second-down run at the Hamilton 12 but was ruled down by contact.
Bellefeuille challenged the call, which was over-ruled giving Hamilton possession.
Durant had a miserable half, completing just 2-of-11 passes for 21 yards.
NOTES: Williams replaced Mann, who was a game-time scratch. Mann suffered a cut on his foot this week that required stitches and tried running on it in the pre-game warmup but found he couldn't go. Then in the first, the Ticats lost starting offensive lineman Jason Jimenez (knee) . . . Hamilton defensive end Stevie Baggs spent the 2008 and '09 seasons with Saskatchewan before joining the Ticats as a free agent shortly after being released by the NFL's Arizona Cardinals . . . Offensive lineman George Hudson, a former Ticat, was among Saskatchewan's scratches.

Sweet Barbecue Chicken
pasfrk Posted: 07/06/10
BeatArmy Posted: 08/11/11
The sauce was very good, although we used 3/4 c. of brown sugar and only 1/4t. of red pepper as we didn't want it too spicy. Next time would try 1/2t. red pepper and maybe 1/2c. brown sugar. Soaked the chicken in buttermilk seasoned with salt, pepper, paprika, and cayenne for a couple of hours before grilling. Will definitely make this again.

Backstage At Giles, Not Doing A Lot When You've Had A Little Too Much
As we meandered around the Royal Court of Justice's Gothic interior backstage at Giles, looking for answers to our burning beauty questions, there were few to be found. The focus was firmly fixed on the clothes. "Have you seen them?" Nail techs, makeup artists, and hairstylists kept asking one another, alluding to Deacon's fantastic Spring collection—a rare sight, considering the conversation in these parts is typically all blushers and blow-dry lotions. "They're incredible," Lucia Pieroni concurred of the swan-inspired garments, explaining that the "super-simple" makeup look she devised just made sense "in this building and with those clothes." Keeping it fairly minimal, Pieroni went with a clean complexion, a subtle pink cheek, and a "soft focus" bordeaux lip, brushing up brows for a naturally groomed effect. "It's as though you've just had a little bit too much wine so you've got this slight burgundy mouth and a bit of a flush," she said, diffusing a combination of MAC Lip Pencil in Brick and Burgundy out toward the corners of the mouth, so the pigment was strongest in the center, and blending MAC Lipstick in Russian Red onto cheeks for a sheer crimson glow. Egyptian Magic, Pieroni's go-to moisturizer-turned-illuminator, was then dotted onto cheekbones and swiped across lids for a glossy dose of shine that was augmented by nail artist Marian Newman's sparkling, sheer red manis. "You can only see it in the light," Newman said of CND's glittering Effect in Crimson Sparkle.
Hairstylist Paul Hanlon was similarly hesitant to do anything that might interfere with the complexity of Deacon's collection, so he did the simplest thing he could: nothing. "There's no product in the hair," said Hanlon, who decided to forgo mousses and glossing sprays in favor of an on-site washing with Toni & Guy Label.M shampoo. Letting strands air-dry to capture "each girl's natural texture," Hanlon had one rule as he tucked front sections behind ears to create a slight bend: "No brushes. The minute you brush it, it becomes fluffy."

Apple Discussing Partnership With Foursquare, Possible Effort to Bolster Maps App
Apple is reportedly in talks with Foursquare about adding the company's data to iOS map according to a report by the Wall Street Journal.
The WSJ report claims the partnership would eventually lead to Apple incorporating local data from Foursquare into the Apple iOS Maps application. How exactly this will benefit iOS users is unclear, unless Apple wants their iOS Maps app to turn into another virtual game of King of The Hill.
The report claims Apple senior vice president Eddy Cue has been meeting with Foursquare representatives over the last few weeks, and discussing how their service uses data to find locations and business listings. The partnership would hopefully boost Apple's lackluster business location functionality within iOS Maps.
Apples willingness to even discuss partnering with Foursquare shows the company understands the limitations of its current maps application. How the two companies plan to partner, or even if they do is still largely unknown. But, Apple needs to differentiate itself from Google's Maps offering which has already been downloaded more than 10 million times since being released.

A partnership with Foursquare would be great. It could provide a lot of site specific user input and reviews. Like you search for closest Chinese restaurant. Apple Maps find some for you and the Foursquare integration can provide comments from people who have eaten there and whether its good or not. Def a worthwhile integration.

So why was Yelp integrated in to iOS if their data is not going to be used. Their business locations are actually verified vs Foursquare...seems a little odd to me.

Easy baked frittata method - use up those CSA vegetables!
My fridge is choked with peppers (hot and sweet), arugula, yellow summer squash, and various other bits and bobs of veg from the Sol Flower Farm vegetable CSA.
One great way to use them up is to make a frittata. This easy baked method can accommodate any variety of seasonal vegetables you have on hand - you don't need a recipe (and I'm a serious slave to recipes, so that's a bold claim I'm making.)
It takes nearly a dozen eggs to make an 8x8 frittata, so do be sure you have enough on hand before you start.
The template below can be modified for any combination of fillings. My basic equation looks like this:
10 eggs + splash full-fat dairy + sauteed veg + a few grates of a hard cheese (Parmesean, Gruyere, etc)
*The dairy makes the final product a bit creamier, but is not required - just leave it out if you don't consume dairy. Same is true for the cheese.
Basic Method
1. Preheat oven to 350 and butter a glass or Pyrex baking dish, any shape, at least 8x8.
2. Cut the veg into fairly small dice and sautee in your fat of choice over medium heat until soft. Your vegetables could be as simple as onion+peppers, or onion+squash, or squash+tomatoes. I used the following, and added them to the pan in the order below:
- 1/2 onion
- 2-3 medium sized peppers of various degrees of hotness
- 1 medium-large yellow summer squash, diced fairly small
- 2 cups of arugula, washed and long stems removed, roughly chopped
- 1 diced tomato
If you are using tomatoes, add them last and let the liquid cook off a bit. The final vegetable mixture should be fairly dry.
3. Crack the eggs into a large bowl, add your splash of dairy if using (I use half and half or heavy cream), salt and pepper generously. Whisk just enough to distribute the yolks and whites. If you have some parsley around, chop it and toss it in.
4. Pour the vegetables in, withholding any liquid in the pan, and stir them into the eggs.
5. Grate the cheese into the mixture and stir.
6. Pour into the prepared pan and bake in the middle of the oven until the center is set, about 35-45 min.
Frittata keeps beautifully for a few days in the fridge, and is lovely any time of day.
Other great additions to this recipe:
- Your favorite hot sauce
- Sliced and sauteed scallions, leeks, or shallots
- Sliced and sauteed chard or kale
- Sauteed ground meat or sausage removed from the casing
- Feta, ricotta and other soft white cheeses (instead of the hard yellow)

A brouhaha frothed in Kentfield this week as a foe of regional housing policies took aim at Supervisor Katie Rice for pulling out of a meeting with constituents at the Marin Art and Garden Center on Saturday.
Rice said she was invited to attend by a resident to talk about housing, development and other issues and later was surprised to learn the session was being set up in an apparent debate format with Plan Bay Area foe Bob Silvestri.
"There was a parallel planning process for this meeting that did not include me or my staff, with the intent to use the meeting for something other than a dialogue between one supervisor and her constituents," Rice said. "I very much want to hear from the residents of Kentfield. They have concerns and questions about development."
To that end, Rice said she will meet with the community at a session of her own at 10 a.m. April 26 at Bacich School in Kentfield.
Among other issues, residents are concerned about development potential at Marin Country Mart, the traffic that development may generate and where county officials like Rice stand.
Planning and arrangements for this Saturday's Art and Garden Center session were made "without my consent or agreement," and "significantly changed the nature and purpose of the meeting," she said, explaining why she canceled her appearance.
Silvestri said Rice bailed out after she failed "to have my presentation and my attendance removed from the meeting agenda."
"It's a sad day when a sitting elected official tries to dictate to a community she is supposed to represent, who can and who cannot be invited to a public meeting, and what points of view can and cannot be expressed," Silvestri said in an email about the event.
Silvestri indicated the show will go on without Rice at the garden center at 3 p.m. Saturday as he delivers a speech titled, "Beyond Plan Bay Area: Toward a Sustainable Future in Marin."
A key organizer of the Saturday session could not be reached for comment.

commented on Assassin's Creed 4: I'm on a boat... and it sucks
I agree, good article. The best Assassin's Creed was the second one, no doubt about it, Brotherhood was kinda annoying to play through with most of the travel involving riding a horse, but I still enjoyed it, and I loved Revelations enough to 100% it without getting tired, the ending also made me tear up. The games from AC3 upwards made me start changing my mind about the franchise, because everything started to suck - The unnecessary extensions of the story, the bug riddled game-play, the features and mini-games nobody likes, and the characters that have nothing to them. The only real thing I respected in AC4 was that Edward realised he was a bit of a dickhead towards the end, they pretty much just fucked everything else up.

Luxurious, decadent, sensually indulgent…welcome to Bandicoot Cove.

Island Idyll by Jess Dee
Sienna thought a getaway would help her get over her breakup with Ben. A fling with high school crush, Josh, is just what she needs. Until Ben shows up with a red-hot challenge to help her make an impossible choice.

Read an excerpt, find reviews and more at Samhain!
We have seen the future, and it's armed and dangerous.
Ghost in the Machine by Barbara J. Hancock
We followed the rules, just like our parents taught us, but the Sweepers have taken my little brother. Then I meet him. He claims to be a rogue who can help me find my brother. Never talk to Shadows. But no one ever told me what would happen if I kissed one.
Gridlock by Nathalie Gray
Years have passed since Dante escaped the "foster care" that turned him into a killing machine, but the scars are still fresh.
When a job goes bad, Steel finds herself taken to the notorious Cardinal's secret lair, which is filled with forbidden pre-Grid knowledge. Something about Steel calls to Dante, but trusting her could wipe out years of waiting for his one chance at revenge.
Product Warnings: This book may cause fantasies of forbidden kisses from dark heroes. Contains violence, offensive language, several variants of the F-word, machines behaving badly, and buns of steel (literally). Authors are not responsible for locked-and-loaded hunks taking your dreams by force.
She needs their courage–and their bodies. The feeling is mutual…
Law enforcement warnings be damned, nothing will stop Rane from returning to the Chinook Mountains to discover who murdered her mother, a fellow forest ranger. Except maybe the fact that her elk shifter lover, Songan, is in the middle of rut season.
With winter closing in, the threesome heads for the mountains, where, in a cramped cabin, their mutual lust explodes. But the mountains can't shield them from deadly danger.
Product Warnings: Menage with complications. Shape-shifting with complications. Outdoor sex, cabin sex, dream sex with ropes. Woman on a mission, and men with muscles upon muscles answering the call of the wild.
When a haughty Lord meets a determined Miss the only winner is love.
Captain Nicholas Price is a man with a plan. As the newly minted Lord Stafford, he is determined to have the best of everything. Clothes, horses, women. He is well on his way with a well-born fiancée and an estate in the country.
Miss Emeline Wilson is a woman on a mission. Forced into penury by the cruel estate manager of the indifferent Lord Stafford, Emeline is determined to confront the new Lord with his callous ways.
The one man he can't forget is the one whose memories could destroy them all.
Men of Honor, Book 2
After the one man he trusted disappeared, it took Law Connor ten years to take a chance on another relationship. Trouble is, right about the time he's finally ready to let go of the past, the past stages a hostile takeover.
Detective Paulo McMannus has almost succeeded in helping Law forget his lost love when Styx comes plowing back into their lives. No way is Paulo giving up his lover without a fight.
Suddenly Law finds himself on the run with Styx, the man who can still bring him to his knees…and with Paulo, the man who brought him back to life. The worst part? He can't choose between them. And it's getting harder to remember why he should.
Product Warnings: Contains rough language, rougher sex and warriors who fall hard for one another.
Redefining room service…
The Zephyre Corporation's annual convention may be designed to let colleagues kick back in the Florida sun, but Riley McGuire doesn't plan to let anything interfere with her chance to shine for corporate management. Not even the devastatingly sexy guy playing air guitar–naked–in her hotel suite.
Oliver Wilson expected to share a deluxe suite with what he assumed was an amiable Irish-American beer drinker, not an acid-tongued Boston beauty who can't hold her liquor.
Behind closed doors, lust explodes between the sheets. But is a pair of vibrating panties a temporary pleasure, or the start of something that doesn't require batteries?
Product Warnings: Please check with your hotel concierge to ask if the handsome naked man playing air guitar comes with the room. There may be an extra surcharge not covered under federal business reimbursement regulations. Be sure to tip the bellboy.
Give a SEAL an inch, and he'll take your heart.
Heat of the Moment
Shelby has lusted over John for over a year, but can't figure out why he's not interested. Until she overhears him saying she's too vanilla for his taste. Garrett hates risking their friendship, but if she wants a wild ménage, he'll give it to her. Then make it clear he wants her all to himself.
Heat of the Storm
Will has waited fifteen years for the storm that sends Mackenzie into his arms. Then she shoves him right back into the friend zone. But he's a SEAL to the bone, and tenacious as hell.
Will is the one man not scared of Mackenzie's psychic gift. Their one night of passion is more than a mistake. It generates a tragic vision of the future that leaves her more afraid than ever.
Product Warnings: Contains dangerously hot Navy SEALS, and heroines not afraid to take them on one–or two–at a time.
When you fall out of step, that's when everything falls into place.
R.J. Blake begins a new session tutoring young werewolves in the old ways–before the introduction of the shift-suppressing drugs that allow their kind to live secretly among humans. He expects nothing out of the ordinary. Until sexy, smart, aggravating-as-hell Corey Wilson arrives. Older than the others, son of a powerful Los Angeles pack leader, Corey is an instant temptation he cannot afford.
When their time comes to an end, Corey senses hesitation behind R.J.'s insistence that theirs was simply a summer fling. Inspiring him to take a leap of faith with consequences neither of them saw coming. A dangerous plot that reaches from the heart of their love to the highest office in the land…
Product Warnings: This book contains a young werewolf intent on seduction, an older werewolf determined to resist said seduction, werewolf politics and brutality, a little spilled blood, and hot, naked manlove in the great outdoors.
When you're down on the farm, things are bound to get dirty!
Joe Remke has just one qualification for his lovers–he wants them gone before sunrise, which makes his new bunkmate AJ about as safe as a woman can be around him. It also makes his determination to sleep with his boss downright stupid, because if Brent ever gives in, he'll be looking for a new job.
Ladies' man Brent Andersen knows sex with his right-hand man Joe is inevitable, but he's not going down without a fight. Putting the new female hired hand in their cramped RV was a stroke of genius, taking the heat off him while protecting her from the horny guys on his custom farming crew.
Fortunately for Brent and Joe, fantasies have a way of revealing themselves and AJ's are right up their alley. But even threesomes have their risks, and AJ can serve as a buffer for only so long before the tension between them explodes.
Product Warnings: Flying BOBs ahead–and that's just the warm-up! Strap yourself in for a wild ride complete with ménage, m/m, and a voyeuristic f/f scene hot enough to make three grown men beg for mercy.
A dragon's fate will seal their love…or destroy their future.
When Kavin Hunter appears on her doorstep to recruit her into the king's guard, Saraphina Raven knows her secret–an unwanted telepathic ability–has caught the attention of the king. If she refuses to use her gift to discover who's plotting against the throne, her last link to her royal heritage will be forcibly stripped away. It's a threat that's guaranteed to work. She'd do anything, even help the king that deserted her family, to preserve the only connection to her past.
Product Warnings: Contains a former princess who gets cringe-worthy glimpses into others' thoughts, a knight in slightly tarnished armor with talented…hands. And a dragon betrayed.
When you ride with the devil, the shadow of death isn't the only danger…
Killdaren, Book 2
Years of shielding herself amid historical artifacts has lulled Andromeda into thinking her mind-reading ability is merely a nuisance. Until her sister Cassie's marriage brings her out among people again. The renewed contact is excruciating…and so are her wildly improper thoughts about her brother-in-law's emerald-eyed twin, Lord Alexander Killdaren, Viscount Blackmoor.
When she presents herself to begin cataloging his vast collection of artifacts, she realizes she is in over her head. His mind is closed to her gift, save for a single, breathlessly erotic image. His heated touch is like a dragon's fire against her skin; his emerald gaze strips her soul bare.
Even as she loses her heart to his dark passion, she uncovers secrets that expose a brutal killer and threaten everything she holds dear. Her life, her sisters…and her sanity.
This book has been previously published.
Product Warnings: Contains a dark hero with eclectic tastes, toe-curling sensuality and a spine-chilling murder mystery.
He'll bend for them. But they may break over him.
For twelve years, Dom lovers Ryan "Angel" Morgan and Dante James have run a successful photography business, and satisfied their need for a submissive with the occasional sizzling three-way. On a wedding job, they both zero in on the bride's beautiful brother, but as professionals, they keep their attraction on the down-low–for now.
Once they break the ice, their sexual chemistry burns hotter than a macro flash. Everyone gets what they need…until emotions come into play. Their power could develop into something permanent, throw everything off balance–leaving one of them the odd man out.
Product Warnings: Contains lots of sarcasm, a double helping of steamy erotic photography, and two dominants having their way with one very enthusiastic submissive.
A busload of captives on an express ride to terror!
It's the summer of 1995, and the passengers of the Sunday bus into town have realized that something is very, very wrong with their driver. They don't know that she began her day planning to kill herself. But they know that she's threatening to kill them. They began the ride as her passengers, but now they're her captives. She's already shown she won't hesitate to use that gun in her hand, and no one wants to be the next to die. They have no idea where she's taking them, who will be left alive when they get there, or what's in store for the survivors. With a madwoman at the wheel, the bus has gone far off its route, deep into insanity. And for most of the passengers, the next stop will be their last.
Creatures trapped for centuries, free at last…to kill!
The forest has always been there, and the high hedge around it has stood since Roman times. No one remembers anymore why the hedge was built, and bit by bit, as houses and modern life advance, the ancient barrier is being torn down. Slowly, creatures that have been trapped within for centuries are creeping through the gaps in the wall, hungry for revenge for their long imprisonment. As murder and horror spread through the nearby town of Hedge End, a stranger arrives, eager to give the residents a May Day celebration they will never forget.

A bureaucracy can be defined as a group of non-elected governmental officials who are responsible for the implementation of the laws, regulations or other rules of their government. Within the federal government of the United States, bureaucracy is sometimes synonymous with the various agencies subordinated to the executive branch of government and administered by a Cabinet position. Included among these agencies is the Internal Revenue Service, a bureau of the United States Department of Treasury.
Bureaucracies are often demonized as slow, inefficient and burdensome. Excessive regulation and rigid conformity to processes and rules, also referred to as red tape, create this popular impression. Sometimes, this impression is deserved.
In response to changes required by the Affordable Care Act, especially the adoption of section 501(r) which places new statutory requirements on hospitals wishing to obtain (or remain) tax exempt, the IRS proposed revisions to the 2011 Schedule H of Form 990 to gather additional information from such institutions. The IRS requested and received public comment on the proposed revisions.
Among the responses, the American Hospital Association representing over 5,000 member hospitals, the Healthcare Financial Management Association representing over 37,000 healthcare executives and healthcare financial workers and VHA, Inc. with 1,400 member hospitals jointly issued a letter in response to the IRS request. The response is detailed and thoughtful. In general, the letter requests that the IRS make Part V, Section B optional for 2011 (as the IRS did for 2010) to allow additional time to work through the application of these rules to a diverse group of charitable hospitals, to eliminate redundancies that have no clear relationship to the statutory requirements of the law or that do not result in a clear benefit to the public, and to simplify reporting for increased understanding (and to eliminate unneeded paperwork).
Unfortunately, the IRS has decided to leave the draft 2011 Schedule H unchanged and to require completion of all parts of the schedule as drafted (other than lines 1 through 7 of Part V, Section B, relating to Community Health Needs Assessments, which remains optional for 2011). For an agency that has more work to do than it has employees to do it, the unnecessary work it creates for itself (as well as for the healthcare industry) is difficult to understand.

The King of Innovation
Chinese inventor Tao Xiangli's self-made humanoid robot is pictured at his house located in a old residential area in Beijing August 8, 2013. The self-taught inventor built the home-made robot, named "The King of Innovation", out of scrap metal and electronic wires that he bought from a second-hand market. Tao completed his creation in less than a year, with costs of production and living expenses amounting to 300,000 yuan ($49,037). However, the robot, which measures 2.1 metres (6.9 feet) in height and 480 kg (1058 lbs) in weight, turned out to be too tall and heavy to walk out of the front door of his house. It can perform simple movements with its hands and legs and also mimic human voices. REUTERS/Kim Kyung-Hoon (CHINA - Tags: SOCIETY SCIENCE TECHNOLOGY)

We like to imagine that LeBron James' limited-edition watch for Audemars Piguet came into being because the basketball star—distracted by the daily plights of the Miami Heat—was constantly asking everybody the time and driving his teammates crazy. It seems likelier, though, that James is a very important basketball player who requires a very important watch (with his name laser-engraved on the back, natch). And for $51K, you, too, can tell time like a pro basketball player with this giant gold and gray piece. Once you scrape together the funds, the only trouble is remembering the name, which is about as long as LeBron is tall. It is: the Royal Oak Offshore Chronograph Limited-Edition LeBron James.

If three city school board members want to attend a National School Boards Association conference this weekend in San Diego, they'll have to pay for it themselves.
The school board on Tuesday rejected, by a 3-3 vote, spending about $4,113 for President Richard Atkinson and members Marcia Haire-Ellis and Brenda Kimble to attend the annual conference, which runs Saturday through Monday.
Atkinson, Haire-Ellis and Kimble voted in favor of the resolution with members Andrea Mahone, Rachel Hanni and Michael Murphy opposed. Without a majority vote, the resolution failed.
Lock P. Beachum Sr. didn't attend Tuesday's school board meeting. He's in San Diego for the conference, but his attendance didn't involve the expenditure of district funds.
Last month, the school board passed a resolution to spend about $12,000 for Beachum, Atkinson, Haire-Ellis, Kimble and Murphy to go to the conference.
Neither Mahone nor Hanni had planned to attend. Atkinson and Haire-Ellis planned to pay their own airfare.
But the district's fiscal monitor, appointed by the Youngstown Schools Academic Distress Commission, rejected the earlier resolution.
Last December, the academic commission took over budget authority because of a projected district deficit. The commission, through the fiscal monitor, must approve all expenditures exceeding $5,000 and all contracts.
Tuesday's resolution didn't meet the $5,000 threshold. The three members planned to pay their own respective airfares and some other costs with Haire-Ellis and Kimble planning to share a room.
In other business, the board appointed James A. Reinhard, who has been the commission-appointed fiscal monitor since last December, as part-time treasurer.
Reinhard, who is the retired treasurer of Canton City Schools, will earn $60 per hour, not to exceed $70,000 annually.
His contract runs Monday through July 31, 2014.
The district has been without a permanent treasurer since May 2012.
Seriously? $60 an hour? While they pay a 1st year teacher around $26,000 a year to teach a classroom full of kids? Now I see what is more important. Money. Oh, wait! The plumbing is important too. I saw a job posting on the YCSD site offering $58,000 anually for a master plumber. Really? As an educator this SICKENS me.
If you do the math, that's $70K a year for approximately 22 1/2 hours a week. That is less time than a child is in class! What a shame. Our kids and their teachers deserve more. We don't need some retired guy, who by the way is probably already collecting a pension, earning $70k a year. We really don't need to pay for "the board members'" vacation either. They should be paying for continuing education for teachers, tutors for the kids who are struggling due to large class size, and updated material.
58,000 for a master plumber is not at all out of line, in most parts of the country that would be a bargain. A quality skilled tradesman is difficult to find.
You do not like this guy based on your apprasial of his performance and nowyou would consider rehiring him on a contract basis.
My problem with this article isn't the salary of the Treasurer position it's the fact that not one but 4 Board members wanted to attend a conference for 12 GRAND- Seriously? Once again, the public officials need to take a lesson from private industry. it is important to stay in touch with professional development. Who knows, this could be the one where they instruct Bd. members how to oh ACCOMPLISH SOMETHING!! Therefore, send one Board Member and have them return and instruct the others in an in-service training as to what was shared. The idea of having multiple Board Members attend the same conference amounts to nothing more than Spring Break for our elected officials. Get your State required training hours at online COST EFFECTIVE sessions.
$58,000 for a master plumber is about right. This is not an apprentice! It is a skilled trade. Maybe the teachers should take the time to instruct the students what a teacher makes to start, what a plumber can make, and let them see the benefits of obtaining a skill, either using their hands or their heads. Why is it that we demean those that do physical labor? Why do some think just because a person gets a four-year college degree they deserve some huge paycheck? Just like the clueless on in the White House that believes every kid should go to college. No they should not.
The whole area has become a laughing stock. Our school board is about as ignorant as most of the students they turn out. Almost unbelievable if not for the decision making history of our school board in Thugstown. They all are a total waste of good taxpayer money. Pay them on their performance like commission. There would be alot of 0.00 paychecks.
The real shame here is that the three voting for the proposal attempted to get under the $ 5K radar, after the Commission (properly) noted that the expenditure - at any level - was inappropriate.
$58K is not out of line for a master plumber, nor is $ 60 /hr. inappropriate for a qualified Treasurer. These are not the real issues in this story.
"1st year teacher around $26,000 a year..."
that 'year' consists of less than 200 working days, summers and all make believe and legit holidays off, and working 8-3.
a quick google finds that an Apprentice Plumber makes in the 20's, and works all year. You are quick to point out that you think the new un-tested teacher is underpaid, but you neglect to mention the pay rates of the 'Master plumber' equal teacher.
The above post lead me to think about the following. I know I know if you say something abut teachers or their guerilla warfare unions you hate children and don't care about the future or the country and don't appreciate being able to read I know ... I know. The following was given to me by my Republican teacher brother who has been in the system for 32 years and says its very accurate. I know, he must not be one of the dedicated protectors of our youth that all teachers claim to be BUT food for thought. Simply don't work near regular full time employees.
The average American worker:
52 weeks x 5 Days/week = 260 Days
4 weeks vacation/year = -16 Days*
10 holidays/year= -10
3 sick days/year= -3
3 personal days/year= -3
Total days worked 228 Days/ year
* 4 weeks vacation AFTER 4-5 years of employment
Work day is 8 hours WORK with 1/2 hr. unpaid lunch and 2/15 minutes break/day
The average teacher:
School year = 180 days
14 Holidays/year= -14
5 personal days/year= -5
7 Sick days/year- -7
? Vacation days/year= ? *
Total days worked 154 Days/ year
*I have heard rumors teachers get vacation time as well but not confirmed
Work day is 7 hours including a 1/2 hour PAID lunch and one hour FREE period/day
Now I know all the teachers are going to cry about ALL the EXTRA time they put in at home and the "continuing" education they have to do.
Here is the solution: Work an 8 hour day with an unpaid lunch like the rest of us and you can get it all done in school! What a novel concept, huh?
Why send them to California which has some of the worst public school systems in all of America? I know that the conference is there but there is little to learn from the educational people in CA.
Only these rescumlicans attack teachers, cops, and other public workers. The rescumlicans love this because detracts from them. Rescumlicans don't want to address the damage their party has done to our public school system. They avoid talking about how Taft opened the floodgates with his voucher system. They don't want to talk about Kasichs massive cuts,in funding. Only boy are those teachers overpaid. Idiots.
gdog, wrong! I am not repub, voted 'bama 2x's and Kasich is a theiving crook. My issue is the high falootin educator that thinks skilled workers are overpaid, and new teachers are underpaid. Besides, I posted the truth and you only have name calling to fall back on?
gdog those people mentioned just happen to be repsponsible for blight of this area. Can you dictate any crime fighting policies or counsil spending NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!! I repeat NOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Got it. So the people complaining about these idiots have the right because its in their expectations for these positions. And these people are for all purposes asleep at the wheel.
