One reason I love looking back at history, particularly past presidents, is because it provides me with hope for our country's future that is sometimes hard to find in the politics of today. Our nation has produced astounding leaders in our past, great men who aspired to do great things. John F. Kennedy was such a man.
According to President Kennedy, the greatest of all human virtues is courage. In his book, Profiles in Courage, which was published in 1955, Kennedy talked about a number of politicians who chose to make decisions based off of what was best for the country, not political party. Our nation's history is filled with ordinary men and women who did extraordinary things because they voted on their imbedded self-virtue and intellect. They changed the world by coming together and putting country first. Do you think slavery would have been abolished if politicians just voted based upon getting re-elected? Do you think the Civil Rights Act would have passed if politicians just voted on account of wanting to be liked?
President Kennedy described three things that undermine political courage. One being that politicians want to be liked. Two being that politicians care about campaign donations and are constantly being met with a stream of lobbyists. And three being that politicians want to get re-elected. These three things are the barriers to politicians coming together and acting out their courage. This is Washington D.C. today. The city is filled with people who care more about the 51% majority that voted for them in their district or state, rather than the entire country. When a congressman from Ohio goes to Washington, he is not called an Ohio congressman; he is called a United States Congressman. When a senator from California goes to Washington, she is not called a California Senator; she is called a United States Senator. We need political leaders who are willing to act for country and not party.
America used to be a place that made a war on poverty not poor people. America used to be a place that dared to dream of one day landing a man on the moon. Those amazing political feats happened because politicians were willing to pursue courage. Gerald Ford showed political courage when he pardoned Richard Nixon, even though he knew that would cost him re-election. However, Ford knew that the pardon was the right thing to do because America needed to move on and heal its wounds. Steve Driehaus showed political courage in voting for the Affordable Care Act. He knew that vote would cost him re-election, but he dared to dream of an America where all people could have access to quality healthcare. These are men who put country first. These are men who had political courage.
I ask all politicians who are reading this to please come together. Our country's future is at stake. Quit worrying about your next campaign. Quit worrying about being liked. Act and lead by your guiding conscience and political courage will follow.
For America's sake, please, be courageous.

William F. Vedra, Jr., has served as executive director of Ohio Homeland Security (OHS) since 2007. Vedra first joined the agency in 2004 as deputy director of the state's office of domestic preparedness, coordinating efforts to prevent, respond to, and recover from major emergencies, while providing oversight for state and local coordination of infrastructure protection. Vedra is a 25-year veteran of the fire service, who retired from the Columbus Division of Fire in 2003 as a battalion chief. He later led Ohio Task Force 1 (OH-TF1), part of the Federal Emergency Management Agency's National Urban Search and Rescue Response System, deploying to the World Trade Center site after 9-11 and to Florida following Hurricane Ivan in 2004. A graduate of Bowling Green State University, Vedra was a 2005 senior fellow at George Washington University's Homeland Security Policy Institute. (His remarks have been edited to accommodate space limitations. Read the full interview online at www.securitymanagement.com).
Q. What are your responsibilities? What's a typical day or week like?
A. Our office is one of eight divisions within the state Department of Public Safety. If you think of the four homeland security missions as protect, prevent, respond, and recover, we focus on prevention and protection. So we have a branch dedicated to counterterrorism (prevention), which includes our state fusion center, the Strategic Analysis and Information Center (SAIC). The protect branch focuses on infrastructure. That includes implementation of the National Infrastructure Protection Plan, national priorities, and regulation of private security guards. Administratively, our operation focuses on strategic planning and local coordination.
Q. How has your background helped you on the job?
A. I spent most of my career in the fire service. I was a paramedic for 25-plus years, a firefighter for almost 25; I retired as a battalion chief with the City of Columbus Division of Fire; also, I was involved with our state's urban search-and-rescue team, which I led for a time before I finished, so I have a lot of background in rescue.
I was also coordinator of communications in our dispatch center in Columbus, and that required working with a lot of other fire agencies around the city and county. So project management and ability to work with a lot of different agencies were some of the skills I developed, and they, of course, help in homeland security.
Q. What is the state doing to protect critical infrastructure and key resources?
A. We're implementing Automated Critical Asset Management System (ACAMS), which is the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) infrastructure protection software. We've loaded about 14,000 infrastructure sites in to ACAMS, and we have about 50 people trained across the state. We're also very active with the DHS's Buffer Zone Protection Program (BZPP), which provides grants to local agencies to better protect some of the infrastructure by securing perimeter areas. We're very concerned about enlisting local agencies to help us, so we have a "see something, say something" program that we market heavily. We're not a large agency, so building collaboration, enlisting partners, is an important part of our mission.
Q. Is it a challenge convincing the private sector to invest in critical infrastucture security?
A. That is a challenge. But BZPP is a good example of how you can help private sector infrastructure sites with grant money. It builds partnerships between the local law enforcement agency and the critical infrastructure sites; it gets them talking at a new level, and through grant money, you can do things that help both entities.
There's more to it than just spending money, however. We did intense spending for a long time. Now we're graduating to intelligent spending. I think the third level we have to achieve is good risk management. There's not enough money to protect everything against anything at any time, so money's not always the answer.
Q. How would you characterize your state's relationship with the federal government?
A. I'm not real critical of it. Terrorism is complex. The solutions are complex. If it was easy, anybody would be in these positions to do it. I think they are getting better at it. I like the federal government's revision of the National Response Plan to the National Response Framework and the National Preparedness Guidelines. There's been some criticism but I read them, and I think they're on target.
And we've had really excellent cooperation and collaboration with our DHS infrastructure protection advisors. We have a DHS analyst assigned to our fusion center. We have a state preparedness officer who's really engaged and is there every time we need him. So the federal partners that have been assigned to Ohio, I couldn't be more pleased with. It's not perfect. I don't know of any agency or organization that is doing it perfectly, but I think it's pretty good.
Q. Can you discuss the state's intelligence fusion center?
A. We're proud of our fusion center. It's not the typical arrangement of a state fusion center, with one law enforcement agency. We have a couple circles. The law enforcement side includes an FBI analyst, and we have representation from the state departments of Agriculture, Transportation, Energy, and Health and the state fire service and emergency medical services.
I think we have a great team. It's a diverse community. Not all the information comes from law enforcement. A lot of it comes from public safety or other disciplines. So we're trying to gather and get that input from a lot of sources.
Q. What the biggest challenge of your job?
A. Building cooperation and collaboration. Getting people to think of solutions in different ways than maybe they have in the past. Conveying the urgency of our work without being alarmist.
Q. Has the state pursued any other public-private collaboration?
A. Yes. We have about 150 miles of international border with Canada along Lake Erie, with issues of drugs, weapons, and smuggling of different sorts. About a year ago, we launched the Northern Border Initiative, and it's been very successful.
We have, I believe, three federal agencies, four state agencies, and 56 local agencies all working together to patrol the border along Lake Erie. Through partnerships and memoranda of understanding, a local officer could ride on a state Ohio Department of Natural Resources boat or a Coast Guard boat. A critical part of the program is working with marine operators and the different establishments up there, so they're our eyes and ears. We're, I think, the only state in the country that has a program like that.
Q. What are your agency's goals for the coming year?
A. To further institutionalize that infrastructure protection, the use of ACAMS. We have regional Terrorism Early Warning Groups forming in Columbus, Cleveland, and Cincinnati. We want to lay the foundation for intelligence fusion and information sharing among them.
We also want to establish a terrorism liaison officer program throughout the state, much like a crime prevention program, to develop a corps of local officers specially trained in terrorism issues, possibly with security clearances, so that we sort of have a terrorism expert at arm's reach from every police or fire department in the state.

These are good for little dogs to play tug with and especially pups.I periodically replace ours because they end up being gutted.They don't stand up to haevy pullers but,my 6-13 lbs really enjoy them.M big girl plays with them but,I could easily see them destroyed by a dog who isn't as gentle with them.
Pros: Not expensive
Cons: Can't hold up to powerful players

Full Disclosure
mailing list archives
Recently I have been speaking in a few conferences about browser phishing
attacks. These attacks are performed against the browser and require no user
Some of the attack highlights are:
1) Can steal files from the local file system of Internet Explorer users.
2) Can steal client-side databases including the Gmail and MySpace Inbox of
Google Gears user's.
3) Can place 7 different types of permanent backdoors in the browsers of
Google Gears users.
4) Can steal the passwords stored in FireFox (similar to Karmetasploit)
I am releasing two whitepapers detailing these attacks:
1) Flash + IE = Prison Break -
Explains how a flash file running inside Internet Explorer can read from
the local file system of the victim and transfer it to the attacker.
2) Google Gears for Attackers -
Explains the different kinds of data stealing and backdoor placing
attacks that can be performed against Google Gears. It also has details
about what is probably the first publicly released Persistent XSS
vulnerability based on Google Gears. This vulnerability is on MySpace.
I am also releasing Imposter which is a tool to perform these and other
similar attacks. It has an internal DNS server, Web Server and SMB packet
The attacks performed by Imposter are:
1) Steal files from the victim's local file system
2) Steal data from Google Gears database
3) Place backdoors in Google Gears ResourceStores and ManagedResourceStores
4) Steal passwords from FireFox's password store
5) Steal cached files from the victim's browser
6) Poison the victim's browser cache.
7) Steal and set cookies in the victim's browser
8) Steal LocalSharedObjects from the victim's browser
Imposter can be downloaded from http://andlabs.org/tools.html#imposter
I hope you find this information interesting and useful. All comments and
suggestions are welcome.

Ride the Rockies!
Our Adventure Specialist here at The Little Nell, Kane Hudson, just returned from the Ride the Rockies. The Denver Post Ride The Rockies is an annual bicycle tour that takes 2,000 cyclists, assisted by more than 100 volunteers, on a 6-7 day ride on paved roads through Colorado's Rocky Mountains each June.
Ride The Rockies route is different each year, but always climbs a few challenging mountain passes and showcases the state's spectacular scenery. Daily treks can be as short as 35 miles or as long as 100 miles, but generally average 60-70 miles.
Kane, also a member of the Ajax Tavern Cycling Team, has this photo-essay to share from his journey from Crested Butte to Georgetown.
Saturday, June 11: Made it to Crested Butte. Heading out in the early morning. Over 2,000 riders expected. 76 miles on Sunday including Cottonwood Pass. Let the soreness begin. The football field is a temporary home to cyclists. Don't come back from town after dark; tent locations can be confusing.
Sunday, June 12: Fellow Ajax Tavern cyclist Lynette and I take a break from the long climb heading up Cottonwood Pass.
Bikes at rest after Day 1. 76 miles,over 4200 feet vertical rise,13 miles dirt road.
Monday, June 13: Another 75 miles logged today. Steady climb to Tennessee Pass and another short leg burner up Battle Mountain. Great downhill into Minturn. Lynette and the Orbea bikes were at warp speed.
Tuesday, June 14: Avon to Steamboat today. 85 miles with a very strong headwind. Lynette and I collapse after a long day into the wind.
Wednesday, June 15: We pause in Steamboat to watch ski jumping!
The nice thing about the ride is that there is no official starting time at Ride the Rockies. Today I started at 5:30 a.m. and finished the ride as one of the first finishers.
Thursday, June 16: Up Rabbit Ears Pass today with a 4,000 ft climb, strong headwind into Kremmling, but then a great tailwind into Granby.
Nothing goes better with a ride than a dip cone from Annie's Dari-ette.
Friday, June 17: Rain and cool finally caught up with us. Rain stopped as we got to the summit of Berthoud Pass. Cold ride down, but a fast 15 miles down averaging almost 40 mph.
We made it! Over 400 miles, 5 major passes,over 26,000 ft climbing.
Ride the Rockies was a great ride. The organization and ride preparation were outstanding. If you want a supported bike ride in the state of Colorado, I'd definitely recommend it. Maybe I'll see you out there next year?

Good deep red. Fruity aromas of cherry, smoke and menthol, complicated by leather and meat notes. Lush and creamy, with just enough structure to give shape to its moderately sweet fruit. Finishes with some persistence and firm tannins.

Doug Marrone will not be returning to Syracuse next season after the Buffalo Bills hired him to fill the vacant coaching position on Sunday, according to league sources.
Earlier on, the Buffalo Bills also interviewed Oregon coach Chip Kelly for the job. But after a short interview, the Buffalo Bills started looking at other coaching options, including Doug Marrone. However, the Buffalo never had a realistic shot of landing the highly pursued coach among NFL teams Chip Kelly, and Kelly himself has seemed more interested in the Philadelphia Eagles and the Cleveland Browns.
Doug Marrone was the safety net on both the Cleveland Browns and Philadelphia Eagles' coaching candidates list. But the Cleveland Browns could be in a loss due to the recent development since the Philadelphia Eagles are more favored to land Chip Kelly.
From start, the Buffalo Bills were interested in bringing an offensive-minded coach seeing how the quarterback position could be subject to changes in the offseason. The Buffalo Bills owner Ralph Wilsons is expected to be very active in free agency to find a replacement at the spot, even though quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick is expected to remain with the team for another season.
The Buffalo Bills also interviewed other coaching candidate with NFL experience such as former Chicago Bears coach Lovie Smith and Arizona Cardinals' relieved coach Ken Whisenhunt. Most of the interviews took place in Arizona, and the Buffalo Bills even got permission from the Cardinals to talk with defensive coordinator Ray Horton.
Even until quite late in the negotiations, Douh Marrone kept other options open. Doug Marrone had interviews planned with the San Diego Chargers and the Philadelphia Eagles as well.
Doug Marrone complied a 25-25 during four seasons at Syracuse. He will be replacing former Buffalo Bills coach Chan Gailey. The Buffalo Bills were 16-32 under Chan Gailey's tutelage (3 seasons).
The 48-year-old Doug Marrone has a strong NFL background, both as a player and NFL coach. Drafted out of Syracuse in the sixth round of 1986 NFL draft by the Los Angeles Raiders, Doug Marrone then played a season for the Miami Dolphins (1987) followed by the New Orleans Saints (1989).
Doug Marrone began his coaching career as a tight ends coach at Cortland State, and moved to the collegiate level with coaching gigs at the U.S. Coast Guard Academy, Georgia Tech, Northeastern, Georgia and Tennessee.
He returned to the NFL in 2002 as an offensive line coach for the New York Jets. After three seasons, Doug Marrone served as an offensive coordinator with the New Orleans Saints form 2006 to 2008, before picking up the burden of restructuring the Syracuse Orange.
Doug Marrone led the Orange to a 8-5 record this past season. Syracuse's past season also featured a tie for the Big East Conference championship following a 5-2 record. They progressed to defeat West Virginia in the Pinstripe Bowl near the end of December.

In a Victory for Government Transparency, U.S. Supreme Court Rejects Broad Interpretation of Freedom of Information Act Exemption
WASHINGTON, D.C. - The U.S. Supreme Court today delivered a victory for government transparency in Milner v. Department of the Navy, when the court refused to allow an exemption to the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) to become an "all-purpose back-up provision to withhold sensitive records." Public Citizen had filed a friend-of-the-court brief in the case on behalf of itself and other organizations that support government transparency.
The case concerned FOIA requests for records showing the distances at which explosions at Naval Magazine Indian Island in Puget Sound, Washington, would be felt. Glen Milner, a resident of the region, filed the requests to determine whether he and his neighbors would be at risk in the event of such an explosion.
Although the records contained mathematical formulas and technical maps, not personnel rules or employee practices, the Department of the Navy claimed the records could be withheld under FOIA Exemption 2, which applies to records "related solely to the internal personnel rules and practices of an agency." The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit agreed.
This morning, the Supreme Court reversed that decision. "No one staring at these charts of explosions and using ordinary language would describe them" as "personnel rules and practices," the Court explained.
The Court rejected the argument that Exemption 2 covered all internal rules and practices that guide employees in discharging their duties. Such an interpretation, the Court noted, "has no basis in the text, context, or purpose of FOIA," and would "pos[e] the risk that FOIA would become less a disclosure than a 'withholding statute'." Instead, the Court held, the exemption "encompasses only records relating to issues of employee relations and human resources."
The decision is an important victory for government transparency. The government has increasingly relied on an expansive reading of Exemption 2 to withhold records that do not fall within one of FOIA exemptions. "This morning's ruling ensures that Exemption 2 will not become a catch-all that allows the government to keep vast amounts of information from the public, contrary to FOIA's goal of allowing the public to know what its government is doing," said Adina Rosenbaum, the Public Citizen attorney who authored the friend-of-the-court brief.

DLA Piper names Tim Clement-Jones as London chief
Readers' comments (6)
Congrats Tim
I seem to remember that a previous Peer who was a Libdem Treasurer made a right mess of a London law firm .....
Huge congratulations to Tim Clement-Jones & Good Luck.
Congrats Tim
a bit slow on the uptake Tim (maybe because on the otherside of the world) but just heard the good news!
Wishing Tim Clement-Jones all the best in the new position.
Hopefully, there will be little controversy in his judgment which has been called into question as Chair of Council at the School of Pharmacy.
Over the last 18 months Clement-Jones has been unwavering in his support for the Dean's and Chief Operating Officer's plans to merge this unique institution with UCL. The plans have been clearly rejected by a large majority of staff, alumni, and fellows. In fact, the staffs' dissatisfaction with the Dean's handling of the process culminated in a vote of no confidence delivered with a devastating majority of 19:1. Supported by Clement-Jones the Dean and COO have carried on regardless.
It is therefore not entirely surprising that staff in general did not take Clement-Jones' assurances that he wanted the process to be 'fair' too serious. Nevertheless, his handling of the council deciding ballot still managed to surprise even the most hardened cynics.
Once council members had cast their secret vote Clement-Jones and the COO wordlessly carried the ballot box out of the room to be counted in the absence of independent witnesses. The Clement-Jones returned a little later to report a 12:8 majority vote for merger.
Given the fact this vote will end almost 200 years of independence for the institution one would have hoped that it could have been conducted to a reasonable standard. As a lawyer and Liberal Democrat member of the House of Lords Clement-Jones would have been well aware that this is not a level of transparency that would in general be seen to be acceptable. If not his integrity at least his judgment have been called into question.

If my heart
could stand alone
Hold on its spirit's
greatest energizer
I'll let it kneel at your side,
give you praise.....
for you alone!
If my eyes will be blind
for the next day,
I'll wish one thing
I could see
Before that darkness
dissolve my soul,
I want to see
your radiant beauty and splendour.
Coz I read your eyes
As the heavens above,
The lunar brilliant picture
of the rare blue moon.
The lips of ocean
in breeze of snowy winter,
Golden relics of angel's coveted
wings of light.
For you alone
dearest heaven on earth
My life, glory and strength
For you alone
dearest crimson lips
The one I really
missed the most.
Now the special day had arrived
I speak my love to you my love.
For this heart only speaks of you
I'll hold till next time I see you smile.

ISO recipes for Turtle Brownies and Peanut Butter Bars
- s
- soccermom13 Aug 10, 2012 02:32 PM
I am bringing desserts for a shower. The hostess has requested chocolate. I am thinking of Turtle Brownies and peanut butter bars with a chocolate ganache topping and maybe, just maybe, some tiny peanut butter cups on top.
Has anyone tried the Cooks Illustrated recipe for Turtle Brownies? Are they good?
This is an adaption of the CI recipe:
Can anyone direct me to a really good recipe for peanut butter bars? Has anyone tried this Smitten Kitchen recipe for Peanut Butter Brownies? If so, now were they?
Preheat your oven to 325 degrees.
Crush up 3/4 cup of Butter Finger candy bars.
Combine with 3/4 cup crushed graham crackers and 1/2 cup melted butter.
Use cooking spray to lubricate an oven proof glass 9x13 baking pan and press the mixture firmly (use a fork) into the pan.
Pour a 14 ounce can of sweetened condensed milk over the crust.
Cover with a layer of semi-sweet chocolate chips and chopped freshly roasted peanuts and press those into the bottom layer using spatula or fork.
Bake at 325 degrees for 20 - 25 minutes.
Remove from oven, set aside to cool.
While still slightly warm, use a sharp knife dipped in cooking oil to cut the cookies into bars.
You can also cut them with a spatula or other instrument if that works better for you.
Store, covered, in cool dry place but avoid refrigerating as they'll get pretty hard in the fridge.
You won't store them for long. They disappear like a burst of steam.
This is a standard classic for Peanut Butter Bars which I taught my son to make when he was six. They taste like peanut butter cups and are still a holiday favorite.
re: TrishUntrapped
For a shower, what you can do is cut these into very squares and put them in tiny little cupcake papers on a platter. A great little one bite pop.
re: TrishUntrapped
Trish--little squares is exactly what I have in mind! :0) No one will feel guilty about eating a little tiny square. Or two. Or three :0) Using little cupcake papers is a brilliant idea! I see a trip to Michael's in my immediate future! (They should have cute little cupcake papers, don't you think?)
re: soccermom13
Yes they should have them, probably in the Wilton cake supply area.
Back in the day (man, I'm sounding old) guests used to say "Give me a big ol' slice of that thar cake." Nowadays, it's "Oh just a tiny smidge. THAT'S TOO BIG CUT IT IN HALF."
I admit, I'm pretty much off sugar these days too except for special occasions, so I get it. Now when I serve desserts it's with "small" in mind. As you say, people are more willing to grab a little bite rather than a big piece. Also, one recipe goes a much longer way!
re: soccermom13
Michael's has a huge selection of cute little cupcake papers!
I have not made these, but I want to....Amazing Chocolate Peanut Butter Brownies. Though maybe not what you are looking for since they are more of a brownie.
I recently made salted caramel brownies. Standard brownie recipe. Separately, made the salted caramels from the recipe right here on Chow. Baked the brownies for about 20 minutes, then took out, dotted with caramels, and finished baking. (If I add caramels at beginning, they dissolve completely.
I haven't tried it myself, but Chow has a recipe for turtle brownies that has some good reviews: http://www.chow.com/recipes/14156-pec...
re: Caitlin McGrath
Great suggestions, everyone. Thank you.
Soccermom.. I've made the SK ones, and they're good!!
My favorite PB bars though are from Nigella's Lawson How to be a domestic Goddess..
Utterly addictive..
re: rstuart
OMG ---those look really good, rstuart! More like a candy, are they?
re: soccermom13
Nigella's take on Peanut Butter Bars is interesting, she uses brown sugar instead of graham cracker crumbs. I've never made her variation, but they do seem more more like a candy, and tasty.
re: TrishUntrapped
They are.. more like peanut butter cups in bar form. But even better.
re: rstuart
I'm almost afraid to make Nigella's for fear I'll eat waaay too many. I did make the SK peanut butter brownies, using peanut butter chips instead of chocolate chips in the batter. They are very, very good. Made a chocolate ganache to frost them but it's too thin. Used Joy of Cooking's ganache recipe but it called for too much cream. I will have to rescue this ganache by adding more chopped chocolate. Or maybe I'll just offer this thin ganache in an attractive pitcher for those who want to pour some on. I think I prefer the unadulterated pb taste not "distracted" by chocolate....
re: soccermom13
You could also try whipping the ganache to make it a bit thicker. It will be lighter in color but still tasty.
re: TrishUntrapped
I had no idea it could be thickened by whipping! Thank you very much!

Spin created the incredible list of current players named in rap songs, and the Pistons check in with two:
Tayshaun Prince: "Posted up with something long as the nigga Tayshaun / And I'm off probation, so I'm back in the kitchen…Raekwon" — The Game ("Daytona 500")
Rodney Stuckey: "I wouldn't fuck another girl out of the club / I was Rodney Stuckey, wasn't giving my number up" — Wale ("Goodbye")
Both should get points for creativity rather than just name-dropping – though, which established rapper would really name drop Tayshaun Prince or Rodney Stuckey? – but I'm preferential to Wale's verse. It cuts to an issue that has sat beneath the surface for years, and it shows Wale's acute attention to not only the NBA, but interpersonal relationships, belief in symbols and our society's difficult grasp of fairness. The Game, on the other hand, just needed a word that rhymed with Raekwon.

Editor's note: The past few months, the Coastal Courier received several letters and phone calls, all anonymous, alleging poor management and questionable use of funds by the Liberty County School System administration, now headed by Dr. Valya Lee. The Courier's policy has been and remains that sources sign and acknowledge the letters we receive for publication, but in some cases, when a slew of letters make similar claims, we look into the matter, report on what we know and offer all sides the opportunity to respond. That is the case here. We began our coverage by bringing the allegations presented to us to Dr. Lee for her response on behalf of the school system. This story is the first of a two-part series into the letter's allegations and Dr. Lee's responses.
This week — June 25, to be exact — marks one year since Dr. Valya Lee was instated as the Liberty County School System's superintendent. Much has changed within LCSS in the year that has past — all for the good, in Lee's opinion.
"All of the decisions that we make have to be in the best interest of the children," she said in a recent interview. "And I think that has been the case as we've gone along.
"When you look at what we were able to accomplish in a year, it's almost unheard of," Lee said. "So, I applaud the staff, because they eventually bought in, and helped to make it happen."
Despite Lee's optimism, it would seem that not all staff members have "bought in." Over the course of the last year, and with increased regularity over the past two months, the Courier has received phone calls and letters — all anonymous — alleging that Lee is careless with district funds, is insensitive to staff and has even forced some employees into retirement.
The letter writers paint the district workers' environment as one of fear and anxiety. Since the letters have all been anonymous, the Courier has been unable to interview their authors. Lee, however, agreed to an in-depth interview and sat with the Courier for nearly three hours, answering the letters' claims, one by one.
One recurring complaint has been the perceived mismanagement of district funds, the approval of exorbitant raises for new administrative positions and the superintendent's own salary, which one letter-writer claimed to be "right at $200,000 … much different than any other superintendent from the past." Another letter speaks to the new chiefs and some executive directors receiving raises between "$20,000 to $40,000."
Regarding Lee's salary, it has been public record since her hiring one year ago that her three-year contract is worth $170,000 per year — $15,000 less than LCSS's two previous superintendents, each of whom earned salaries of $185,000.
The same letter also claimed that "the board has approved paying Dr. Lee's insurance, taxes, plus her salary." Lee responded to this by disclosing that although her initial contract did not include TRS (teacher's retirement plan) or benefits, the board did agree to an adjustment to cover these costs after taking into consideration the $15,000 pay difference and the six furlough days — worth roughly $12,000 — that Lee also was subject to.
"There have been some adjustments," Lee said, "but do I make $200,000? Absolutely not."
The superintendent also rebutted the claim of excessive raises by pointing out that only the new chief officer positions received pay increases — something that Lee claims she had no direct control over.
"The highest raise was $10,000," she said. "The board has already in place a local supplement, which is by position … when you talk about a chief, you're going to have to have an additional five (thousand) — that's just how it's done."
Lee also explained that some staff members also were entitled to step raises, based on length of education service within the district or the state.
"That's something I have nothing to do with — it's not like, 'You take this position, and I'm going to give you a raise,'" she said. "No, you take the position, it's going to require an increase of the stipend, because you're taking on more responsibilities and it's time for you to get your step raise."
Assumption of duties aside, there still seems to be a glaring disparity between administrative pay rates and teachers' salaries. When asked whether she found it hard to justify such healthy salaries for administrators while teachers' pay rates seem to have flatlined, Lee said no.
"It's because of these (chief officers) that (teachers) are going to be in a position to get two furlough days back," she said, pointing out that furlough days will decrease from six to four this year.
"I could very well have done a budget and not given those two days back," she said. "My desire is to, over time, fix it so that there are no furlough days. … If these (chiefs) are going to do the job of two or three individuals, they're certainly entitled to a raise."
Lee also addressed a concern over "jobs she is creating at the central office." In one example, Lee pointed out that the state allocates approximately $250,000 per year for professional development — money she said previously was not drawn down from the Georgia Department of Education.
"Part of having the professional-learning money is having someone to have oversight and facilitate the professional learning," she said, adding that it's a position the district was lacking, which led her to create the coordinator for professional learning job. She also emphasized that this is the difference between "creating" positions and filling positions that "existed before becoming."
Another letter inquired into the nature of the funds used to provide meals to board members before meetings. Lee clarified that no educational funds have been used for expenditures such as board-member meals.
"What I did is ask different businesses to become district partners," Lee said. "These are the same people who sponsor the teacher of the year banquet — you can't spend district money on that. Those are private donors."
Lee claims that all expenditures under her watch have been in line with state- and federally-mandated regulations for school-district spending.
"The board established a budget — it's required by law," she said. "Different line items in the budget allow for certain appropriations. I haven't spent any money."

Ballmer sees Microsoft becoming more like Apple
Dupple (1016592) writes | about 2 years ago0
Dupple (1016592) writes "This from Reuters
Microsoft Corp Chief Executive Steve Ballmer has signaled a new direction for the world's largest software company, pointing to hardware and online services as its future, taking a page from long-time rival Apple Inc.
Ballmer's comments in his annual letter to shareholders published on Tuesday suggested that Microsoft may eventually make its own phones to build on its forthcoming own-brand Surface tablet PC and market-leading Xbox gaming console.
"There will be times when we build specific devices for specific purposes, as we have chosen to do with Xbox and the recently announced Microsoft Surface," wrote Ballmer.
The new approach mimics Apple Inc, whose massively successful iPhone and iPad demonstrated tight integration of high-quality software and hardware and made Windows devices feel clunky in comparison."

The country's best musicians perform on our stage in an intimate setting on a nightly basis. Most of our tickets are $12 or less, and our live music shows are always ALL AGES.
In the past, we have had a number of great surprises – legends David Johansen, Marshall Crenshaw and Radney Foster have played here. You are more likely to catch a star on the rise though, someone just cutting their teeth who is on the road to stardom. Above all, we fancy ourselves a great night out. Come on out and you'll see why we have so many return customers and dedicated regulars – "there's somthin' happenin' here."
