County Launches Training Program for Board Members of Common Ownership Communities
The Montgomery County Commission on Common Ownership Communities (
) has launched a new online training program,
Community Governance Fundamentals
, for common ownership community board members. The CCOC developed this training to meet requirements of
Bill 45-14
, which was passed by the County Council on February 3, 2015. The measure was signed into law by the County Executive on February 11, 2015 and took effect January 1, 2016.
The new law is designed to promote more knowledgeable and responsible management of common ownership communities. Such self-governing residential communities include condominiums, cooperatives and homeowners' associations. There are more than 1,000 common ownership communities in Montgomery County, comprised of more than 130,000 common ownership units. More than 30% of Montgomery County residents live in common ownership communities.
Members of the board of directors of all common ownership communities in Montgomery County (except those within the city of Gaithersburg) who are elected, re-elected or appointed to a term of office on or after January 1, 2016 are required within 90 days to successfully complete the
online training program
By the end of each year, common ownership communities are required to report to the
when board members have completed the online training program.
The new training program addresses ethics, roles and responsibilities of board members and homeowners, community governing documents, financial management, meeting rules, and general administration. The training also is available to members of the public interested in learning about operating common ownership communities. To take the training, please use this link:
Community Governance Fundamentals
Recommended browsers
for this training are:
Safari 7
or higher or the latest version of
Google Chrome
. For any questions regaarding the CCOC's program, please contact staff for the Office of Common Ownership Communities by calling 240.777.3766 or by email at
Alternative Classroom Training
In addition to the online training program which is currently available, in the future there may also be the option to take the training in a group or classroom format.
Maryland attorneys with experience in community association law and professional community association managers may be able to provide the training using the identical curriculum provided in the online training program.
The curriculum includes a brief quiz which may be performed throughout the course or at the conclusion of the presentation of the material. The instructor will be required to affirm that the participants have been meaningfully present throughout the instruction period and have completed the quiz.
Any individuals interested in serving as training instructors should contact staff at
or by calling 240.777.3766.
Additional information will be posted when available.

HOUSTON -- Texas A&M's Elze Potgieter (pronounced el-ZAY pot-geet-er), who missed opening day last weekend while representing South Africa in the Fed Cup, returned to the top of the lineup and helped the 27th-ranked Aggies clinch a 4-3 victory against No. 74 Rice today at the Jake Hess Tennis Center.
"Thank goodness Elze made it back," A&M coach Bobby Kleinecke said. "That was a big boost for our lineup. We knew this was going to be a tough, hard-fought match, and I am so proud of Elze for coming in with that win under tough situations. She just got in a day ago and then came up with a big win. She had it in her mind she wanted to play. She was ready and did a great job."
The Aggies (3-0) began the match by winning two of three doubles matches to take the early lead. The freshman duo of Stephanie Davidson (Fair Oaks Ranch, Texas) and Morgan Frank (Oldsmar, Fla.) raced to an 8-2 victory over Emily Braid and Varsha Shiva-Shanka at the No. 3 line.
Anna Blagodarova (Toronto, Ontario) and Michelle Sammons (Durban, South Africa) then clinched the crucial point, coming back from a 4-1 deficit to defeat Tiffany Lee and Rebecca Lin, 8-5, at No. 2.
"A key to the doubles was No. 2 doubles," Kleinecke said. "We were down 4-1 and not playing smart and then made one adjustment and won seven of the next eight games. We've just got to be a little smarter and be able to make those adjustments earlier without the coaches having to come out there and make them do it. That is something we are going to be dealing with a young team. We have a lot to learn. That is part of the game."
Julie Chao and Dominique Karas prevented the sweep, handing Tiffany Clifford (Little Rock, Ark.) and Christi Liles (Largo, Fla.) an 8-6 loss at No. 1.
The Aggies raced to two quick points in singles to jump out to a 3-0 lead. After holding both of her opponents scoreless on Saturday, Frank dropped her first game of today's match to Christine Dao at the No. 5 line. Frank then won the next six games to take the set. Frank was leading 2-1 in the second set when Dao retired because of shoulder pain.
Meanwhile Marisa Druss (Austin, Texas) trailed Braid, 4-2, in the first set at No. 6 and then didn't lose a game for the remainder of the match to quickly put the Aggies up 3-0.
Rice got it first point of the contest at No. 3 singles as Karas broke away from 4-4 ties in each set to defeat Liles, 6-4, 6-4.
Potgieter then posted the winning point for the Aggies. Potgieter had trailed Chao 5-4 in the first set before reeling off three straight games to take the set. Potgieter then jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the second set before Chao won her only game of the second set.
Rice captured the final two points of the match. At No. 2, Lee held off Blagodarova, 7-5, in the first set, but Blagodarova came back to win the second set, 6-1, and forced a super tiebreaker. Lee trailed 7-5 but rallied to take a 9-8 lead. Blagodarova knotted the score at 9-all before Lee scored two straight points for the win.
In a match that lasted just over three and a half hours, Lin won two tiebreakers at the No. 4 spot to defeat Sammons in straight sets, 7-6 (4), 7-6 (3).
"Looking back at the way the match progressed, obviously the doubles point was big for us and will be in every match we play," Kleinecke said. "We don't have the type of talent to just walk out on the court and dominate people in singles. We better be ready to fight at every position.
"We missed too many balls at Nos. 2, 3 and 4. Nos. 5 and 6 did what I thought, but that is our strength. We had three people sitting out who could have stepped in and done the same thing. That is a tribute to our depth. The only problem is that our depth doesn't get us any points. So we need to cut down on our errors at Nos. 2, 3 and 4.
"Elze is going to run into some tough people. I expect her to compete in every match, but she won't necessarily win every match so we need to get some wins at some other places."
The Aggies return to the road Saturday as they face the 34th-ranked LSU Tigers in Baton Rouge, La. First serve is slated for noon at W.T. "Dub" Robinson Stadium.
"They are ranked in the 30s, and I think they are better than that," Kleinecke said. "It is going to be a very tough match. I know that we have beaten them the last three years, so they are going to be after us. We also are going to be after them. It is going to be a great, fun college match."

Comments about 'Joe Nocera: In Chicago, its a mess, all right'

From the article -- "In Chicago, about 60 percent of public school students
graduate from high school. The percentage who graduate from college before the
age of 25 is appalling: somewhere around 6 percent."
And, for that, teachers make and average of $76K, plus benefits, for a 6-hour day and a 9.4-month year. The district offered a 16% raise over 4 years -- more than most Chicago taxpayers will likely see -- but the union demanded a property tax increase, to fund payment for the "extra work hours" above 6 per day.
Chicago's woes augur ill for us, if UEA/NEA leads us into Big Labor's brave new world of education "reform."

"pro" shouldn't worry. Utah teachers will understand that morw schools have to be built, and that doing so means little or no pay hikes for them. They will continue to seek better working conditions in the old fashioned way - by leaving the state.

Re: Mark B Eureka, CA
California, where the total state and local governments may be as much as $1 trillion in debt. Two major cities just declared bankruptcy and more are lining up to do the same. And then they want to tell Utah how to manage our finances.
Businesses in California are leaving for greener pastures in Utah and Texas where we aren't foundering under a sea of red ink.

Posted on 11/15/2005 11:39:48 AM PST by Flavius
NEW YORK - An increasing number of investors are betting that General Motors Corp., the world's largest automaker, may be forced to seek bankruptcy protection within the next six to 12 months as it struggles to overcome slumping sales and the high cost of health care benefits for workers and retirees.
Concerns about the automaker's future are showing up in the credit default swaps market, where investors effectively buy insurance protection against defaults. Holders of GM debt who want to arrange a hedge against the risk that they won't be repaid are finding that the cost of buying the protection has risen dramatically in recent days.
"The markets are telling you that more traders are starting to see a greater risk that a default scenario could happen sooner in time than later," said John Tierney, a credit strategist at Deutsche Bank Securities in New York. "You cannot deny there is a pattern here."
GM spokesman Jerry Dubrowski responded by saying the automaker has "no plans to declare bankruptcy," and he noted that GM has about $19 billion in cash on hand. Beyond that, he declined to discuss recent pricing trends for credit default swaps. "Typically we don't comment on stock prices or bond prices," he said. "We don't think it is appropriate to do that."
At issue is the nearly $31 billion in debt related to GM automaking operations that ratings agencies already have downgraded to junk status, or below investment grade. Dubrowski said GM's total debt, including debt sold by its General Motors Acceptance Corp. unit, now stands at $276 billion.
Credit default swaps for GM are now trading at what is known as an "upfront" basis, meaning a bondholder seeking protection against a default has to pay more money up front because the Wall Street firms arranging the hedges have to pay more to protect themselves.
Michiko Whetten, a quantitative credit analyst at Nomura Securities International Inc., said GM debt had previously never traded on an upfront basis. But now that it is, it puts GM in an unenviable category with Delphi Corp. and Delta Air Lines Inc. other companies whose debt traded on an upfront basis ahead of their petitioning for bankruptcy.
Auto parts maker Delphi, once owned by GM declared bankruptcy in October, and Delta, the nation's third largest carrier, went bankrupt in September.
GM lost nearly $4 billion in the first nine months of this year. The Detroit-based company has been hammered by high labor costs and rising prices for raw materials like steel. And while it recently reached agreement with the United Auto Workers union to temper the rise in health costs, GM still has been losing U.S. market share due to competition from healthier foreign rivals and weakened demand for sport utility vehicles, its longtime cash cows.
Wall Street's credit default swaps traders now view GM as a company so risky that a holder now must pay as much as $12 per year for every $100 of the automaker's five-year corporate debt if they want to hedge against a default, up from $8 to $9 just several weeks ago. In addition, credit default swaps traders are now demanding more of that money up front from investors looking to protect their GM holdings.
These losses may not actually occur, but the pricing moves in the swaps market are a good indication of how Wall Street traders and investors are judging the risk of a GM default.
GM Chairman and CEO Rick Wagoner said in an October interview with The Associated Press that unlike the airline industry, where some bankruptcy filings haven't had a big effect on business, even speculating about bankruptcy hurts the auto business.
"When you're buying a car it's a very different thing," Wagoner said. "It's a massive financial commitment. You expect to own it for a long time, and (bankruptcy) is something that's going to have an impact in the consumer's mind."
On Monday, GM, whose stock is trading at nearly half of its 52-week high, announced price cuts to shore up its sales. Its shares fell 40 cents, or 1.7 percent, to $23.34 in afternoon trading Tuesday on the New York Stock Exchange.
GM's outlook in the credit default swaps market took on a bleaker tone after last week's disclosure by GM that it plans to restate its earnings for recent years. GM said its 2001 earnings were overstated by approximately $300 million to $400 million, but the final amount hasn't been determined. GM plans to issue the restated earnings for 2001 and any subsequent years before it issues its 2005 annual report next year.
That triggered what is known as an inversion in the credit swaps curve a measure of risk between short- and long-term GM debt meaning that Wall Street traders are betting the risk of GM declaring bankruptcy is greater in the next six months to a year than over a longer period of time like five years.
In a November 10 report, Banc of America analysts reiterated a sell rating on the company's stock, saying they believe the odds GM management could be held accountable for the accounting woes has risen and this could accelerate a bankruptcy protection decision they judged to be "inevitable."
According to Deutsche Bank's Tierney, the accounting problems caught investors by surprise and "contributed to a sense that GM problems are very deep."
Pontiac GTO? Come on. Way too much drama for getting groceries.
Common sense says there is no possible way GM can stay in business. Recently, the GM bonds dated 2012 are trading around 70. Think about that-- bonds/notes are saying there is basically a 70% chance the company will be in business in 2012.
It took a dumbass to produce such a dumbass post.The hourly workers arent't the ones producing the concepts for the vehicles that no one wants to purchase. That falls squarely on the shoulders of the bean counters who now seek to squeeze every penny out of each vehicle no matter how it effects the performance or appearance of the vehicle.
Thank you General Motors management for ruining such a wonderful company.
I thought there might be hope for GM, until I saw the Aztek.
oh, are you some sucker that bought GM? Or are you one of those overpaid Union guys that think the company is like the government, should take care of you from cradle to grave?
The bottom line is it costs GM over $1000 per vehicle just to pay health insurance on the union scum bags that bankrupted this company........dumbass.....oh, and a big FY to you also.
I did my duty and went out and bought a 2001 Olds Intrigue on 9/29/2001.
Terrific design, very powerful engine, handled well, good mileage.
Leaking sensor in the fuel tank, gas smell
radio died
radio died again
knock in the steering, lubed
knock in the steering, replaced something(half shaft?)
year later
Terrible knock in the steering, so bad I was afraid to drive it.
replaced tie-rod end.
developed another knock in the front end.
driver's electric window got intermittent, they couldn't duplicate problem
traded it in on a Honda.
This is on a 4 yr old car w/ 26k miles that spent most of its life in the garage.
My take.. good design, poor components.
BTW.. I didn't pay for any of these repairs, 5 yr. warranty. But I plan on keeping the car a long time and wanted something reliable.
I agree with 1 and 3 but not 2. I've owned a number of GM autos, including the three I have now and dollar for dollar, they're as good as any other auto.
Well, gee, if they would just come up with something better than their precious DexCool system they might sell something now and then!
I agree 200%.
Neither a sucker nor a scum you stupid s.o.b but not someone stupid enough to come up with a knee jerk response like you posted when the topic of a union is even remotely involved.
ROFL dumbass, unions "remotely" involved - how stupid are you? The only knee jerk response is yours fool - remotely involved, so stupid it's incredibly funny, you actually should get post of the day for your idiocy - it also appears most on this board would disagree with your position - anyone with a brain knows the damage the UAW has caused the auto industry...ROFL
Unless removed, a parasite will usually kill its host. The same rule applies to labor unions and GM.
U forgot number 4. Retirees Pensions
You nailed it with UAW.
"Finally, there's a real question whether free trade is workable. Maybe we need some tarriffs, painful as it would be to restore them at this point."
Worst possible solution.
You just explained why. If we focus on protecting companies like GM, in short order the whole country will be poor. how could it be otherwise when we prop up inefficient companies? We end up like France.
I give GM credit for one thing---consistancy: they do everything wrong.
Present some of the damage done by union workers that is even equal to the damage done by the sorry management of General Motors. You can't. You may play the fool and attack without any specifics but you can do nothing more than be a fool.
It's important to remember that G.M. freely entered into its labor agreements with its unions just as it recently did it a modified labor agreement adressing health care costs.
This may surprise you but I don't think you speak for most on Free Republic. Group think is anathema to conservatives. If you must practice it you may wish to head to moveon.org and get in with those who are as unable to think for themselves as you appear to be.
Keep seeking 1984 and you may find it.
No he doesn't but nor do you with your rude post #53. Disagree, but be civil.
This is the last time I'm responding to you on this issue, we'll just have to disagree about the role of unions in the demise of GM - but it has been going on since 1945. You blame GM management, I blame the unions - they have caused GM to build low quality vehicles with their wage and benefit demands. In order to stay competitive price wise, GM has no choice but to cut quality when the UAW has their foot on their neck. GM's only hope is to cut at least 250,000 jobs and eliminate at least half of the models (over 80) that they currently build. Yet, if GM tries to do that, all their plants will close due to strikes by the "brotherhood". Unions are nothing but communist and socialist fronts that have absolutely no place in a capitalistic society. You may wish to read some of the history of your beloved union here, but do not bother responding to me again - as far as I'm concerned you are on ignore.
you need to mind your own business - I didn't start this fight nor was I the first to use "rude" language - stuff it
I realize you weren't the first, that's why I pointed out post #53.
GM's preferred stock is yeilding almost 12% nowadays. I don't have the stones to buy any, as I think they will declare bankruptcy...but if you have money to lose, that's a ballsy play.
My brother works for GM. Unfortunately, the attitude of the UAW is that it's more important for the union to survive than it is for GM to survive. The union can survive without GM, and if that's the way it's got to be....
I agree that union leadership oversteps and demands unreasonable concessions from GM. But I would also offer that the SUITS contribute to the overall problem in much the same way. In my vision for a successful corperation that will last thru the ups and downs economies experience, a delicate balance must be struck in the devision of profits. This being between Labor, management, and stockholder.
Labor sees managmement taking millions upon millions and hundreds of thousands upon hundreds of thousands per "suit" and I can understand why unions would make demands for Labor's wages and benefits to be increased. This is not to say that suits shouldn't make money, but I will offer that some think labor is an underclass and thus not deserving of a fair cut of the profits they directly contribute to.
Dividends paid out on stocks held are good for investment, but again without labor their could be no profits to pay that dividend.
Personally I think all three entities need to see that they all have to work together in balance OR ELSE they all three lose.
Could it be that management needs to take a bit smaller bite of the profits in the over all solution to what GM faces today?
Could sales as they are today ( or lack of them) be partially due to the tactics of GMAC in the 90's? WHat with their 19% interest loans and such? Could it be that their service departments have grown inhospitable to customers? Could it be (as to the entire auto industry) that losing such a large chunk of value the SECOND you title it is part of the problem?
Could it be that a ten year old truck has to be kept artificially inflated in value ( ie a truck with 150 thousand miles still being "worth" 10 grand) to justify a new one being 30 grand or even 40 grand is part of the problem?
Labor management and stockholders need to see that they have to work as a team to gain sales, and thus profits, from the consumer. Working against each other and ignoring the rest will only see GM fall.
oh that is ugly. lemme try that again.
(("1.labor cares about one think...a fast vested check"))
And you don't as a salesman? Cmon now EVERY one that gets a paycheck considers that fact.
(("2.labor will eat her mother for that check"))
So will suits and so will stockholders.
Seems that your points reflect my position of them not working as a team...hardly aimless as you claimed.
(("3.19% interest ? oh please...that is easy to sell a buyer/sarcasm....a buyers pay history is his/her credit"))
Gmac did it alot in 90's take a good look back and you will see that. Maybe I missed all those interest free loaning campaigns then. Oh maybe I missed all those 'employee pricing" discounts then as well eh?
Show me those from the 90's. I bet ya cannot.
(("4.a 10 year truck w/150 k miles in NOT worth 10k
so says a bank,the NADA and Kelly's blue book "))
Go here : http://www.kbb.com/ and do a loaded suburban for 1996 in excellent condition with 150 thousand miles and jsut see that its retail value is over 11 thousand dollars.
Lower miles noted here but it is ten years old:
Here is almost hundred thousand miles on a ten year old truck:http://www.autotrader.com/fyc/vdp.jsp?car_id=189953647&dealer_id=99488&car_year=1996&search_type=both&make=CHEV&distance=0&model=&address=62670&certified=&advanced=&max_price=15000&bkms=1132158565835&min_price=9000&end_year=1996&start_year=1995&isp=y&lang=&cardist=486
Here is another this one has 126 thousand miles:
Here is a 1995 tahoe with 164 thousand miles priced at $9895!
Ill stop now.
The point I was trying to make is this. Used vehicles with so many miles are NOT worth actually what they are stated to be worth. This , over the course of the last decade and a half has deterred people from buying them again. They are over priced when new and the latest round of 'discounts' offers shows that. GM has tried to keep hold of the status quo of raking in the cash and it has come back to bite them now.
Blaming it all on labor is hardly an objective position. Blaming it all on "suits" is hardly objective.
Blaming it all on stockholders is hardly objective.
A reasonable person would agree that all three contribute to the problems GM now faces. Problems that rest mostly in the laps of managment to lead thru. If they continue to take the position to just blame Labor GM will be no more.
This looks better in preview I hope it posts that way.
Not good to hear. I've owned Fords, Toyotas, VWs, BMWs as well as GM products. I now have an '03 Silverado, '79 Z28 (I'm restoring) and an '05 Buick LaCrosse and all serve me very well.
I am an "ass" becuase I backed up what I said using a source you said showed me wrong? So now I am an aimless ass HA HA. whatever.
Healthcare is A problem that is far from the only one. A feeble attempt to draw attention away from your obvious mistake in your attack on me that was shown to be unjustified. Guess what Remove entirely the issue of healthcare from GM and you know what, they are STILL on the verge of going under.
The way you treat people, as you have treated me in just a cuople posts, is one of the GM's problems too. Aloofness and a failure to see that people are not quite as stupid as you count on them to be.
Oh and healthcare as it relates to GM would lie in the lap of SUITS that get paid HUNDREDS of thousands of dollars to MANAGE. So indeed, it was mentioned in my (what you call attack stripe) post. In a more general way rather than a specific way.
How about admitting you was wrong about ten year old vehicles being 'worth' ten grand. BTW this issue applies to far more than just GM.
Maybe I should spout an attack on car salesman too. Like maybe how they LOVE to take a woman that is already upside down as to value on their vehicle relating to what they owe and take that upside down vehicle in trade for half what it will be sold on the used lot for. Adding that difference to the price of the new one, while piping about the discounts given, thus creating a larger margin of "upside down".
This tactic is coming home to roost.
Is that illegal, no. Is it honest? Nope. Is it for profit and eventually your paycheck and bonuses for sales? YUP.
Let me be a further intended ass.... I come to you and buy a new truck for 25 grand cash outright. I sign all the papers and I leave. Done deal. I get home and find that I just got an iheritance from a rich uncle that passed of 100 grand.
I decide I would rather have that loaded corvette so I run right back down to the dealership you work at and I want to trade that truck in on that vette. What are you going to offer me for that truck I just bought from you. Keep in mind it HAS BEEN titled. Be honest.
Sir it isn't me that is the ass, it is the truth about the auto industry, that hurts and precipitates your attacks on me.
"new is not used" Right the difference is "titled". The example a I gave you ( you know the one you refused to address as to how much you would offer me for that 25 thousand dollar truck) You seel MANY "new" vehicles with MORE miles on them (test drives) than the truck example I posed to you.
SO as the BUYER of the truck that you just sold me a few hours ago, how much will depreciation will there be?
How about just answering the question I asked in you?
How many dollars will you depreciate for the drive home? Keep in mind now,less miles than on that other new one that has had several test drives.
How about just admit that you would offer me 18 to 21 grand for that truck I just paid 25 grand for? You know that is how it works so just admit it.
Within GM you have labor managment and stockholders, Which one is it exactly you defend?
In post 79 you snap on labor, you say they will eat their mother or some such stuff.....you DO realize YOU are labor right? Now you say you are defending your career? Which is it?
I done told you that GM was not alone in what I said and now you tell me to name one that isn't? Sheesh.
You tell me the cost per unit. Then compare it to per stock dividend paid out, per pension check, per workmans comp policy, per 'suits' paycheck, per assembly line paycheck.....per windshield....per shock absorber, per gas cap.... that is all number rangling. Same thing you do everyday.
I asked you a legit question centering on the fact that you will sell a vehicle to someone that is already upside down and make them more so. This IS a fact and you KNOW it is which is why you are so pissed off. Hey, you have every right to do so and people are fools for allowing it to happen to them. The point I am making to you is that this has been done for a long time and people are tired of it....
I went on to ask what I did in my example to show you another area of problem. The hit people take when you "drive off the lot" ( actually when you sign the title) has people seeing that it just isn't worth it to buy a new vehicle, especially when financed.
Claiming healthcare is THE problem is silly. MANY problems exist and I was simply trying to show you a couple very real ones.
Too bad you went into defense mode and tried to avoid answering very simple and real questions that would have allowed the conversation to continue.
You are claiming that healthcare is eating up the profits....I am showing you that lossed sales is doing the same thing and a couple DIRECT reasons why they are falling....why they drew 'discounts'. I am showing you that ALOT of things eat up profits and suits paychecks that are FAR beyond labors is one example, Healthcare would be another. Healthcare however is not totally GM's ability to manage, suits crazy paychecks ARE. Customer treatment IS.
What you do here is attempt to defend GM from things they are responsible for. While it shows loyalty, it lack basic reality to the scope of the problems and thus the solutions.
In many ways, GM has made its own bed and now they do not want to lay down and take a nap in it.
aybe you should read your own posts and add that bit of context to your own. You sir cannot point to anything in any of my posts that isn't true.
You claimed I said something untrue when I talked about the over value of used vehicles. I showed you specific examples and even did so using what you claim said refuted me. What I did was back up what I said and showed you to be wrong in your post to me. Indeed what you said to me was untrue and I proved that to you. Accept that as the fact it is.
I never said to you that healthcare wasn't a problem, OBVIOUSLY it is and that spans the entire spectrum of our economy. Thus that one is a given. In addition that is NOT something GM can control within its own corperationm outside factors are at play there. I tried to offer to you things that are well within the control of GM itself when it comes to three main groups. Those being Labor, managment, and stockholders.
Choices that each of these groups make reflect and affect on the company as a whole. They themselves control the actions they take and thus the results of them.
You cannot point to anything I said that isn't true with anything more than namecalling and labeling in a negative fashion or basless claims that what I said is false.
You now claim that you rest your case, it would have been nice if you had actually made one to begin with.
Unions once again showing their value. /sarcasm

Kansas one room school
|This article is an orphan, as no other articles link to it. Please introduce links to this page from related articles; try the Find link tool for suggestions. (September 2012)
In the late 19th and the first half of the 20th century, one room schools were commonplace throughout rural Kansas. In most rural schools, all of the students met in a single room. One room meant one teacher who taught basic reading, writing, and arithmetic to both boys and girls of all grades. When one-on-one instruction was necessary, the teacher would call a student forward to the recitation desk.
Supplies might be limited. There was a blackboard, desks or planks for children, a teacher's desk, maps, sometimes a globe and, if the teacher was musical, a piano. In the earliest days, students would often provide their own books, usually from the selection of McGuffey Readers.
Within the school, there was always a water pail and dipper to keep one's cool during the hot summer months. Outside, not far from the front door, was the water pump. And, at a safe and hygienic distance from the school house itself, an outhouse.
In central Kansas, it was common to find a storm shelter where children could go in the event of a tornado.
One-room schools are no longer used in Kansas, falling victim to the declining number of farms and students, the increasing use of automobiles, and school unification.

Early Kansas[edit]
The area which now includes Kansas was home to many Indian tribes for thousands of years. Non-natives visited the area of Kansas as early as Francisco Vásquez de Coronado 1540 - 1542. He encountered Indians he called the Quiverans, probably ancestors of the Pawnee people. Between 1802 and 1804 Merriweather Lewis and William Clark crossed the northeastern portion of Kansas territory on their way to the Pacific meeting the Kansa Indians from whom the state takes its name. Adventurers and hunters later visited the area known as the Great American Desert, an area, at first, considered unfit for human settlement.
In 1846 Francis Parkman toured western Kansas, hunting the American bison, otherwise known as buffalo. His two-month adventure in Kansas and other western states to be would become the subject of the best selling The Oregon Trail: Sketches of Prairie and Rocky-Mountain Life. James R. Mead, one of the founders of Wichita, explored Kansas between 1859 and 1863, and later settled in Wichita. He knew such colorful characters as Kit Carson, Jesse Chisholm, Buffalo Bill, and Chief Santana. His recollections became a book, Hunting and Trading on the Great Plains,1859-1875. [1]
Kansas territory was crossed by at least three major trails. These included western Santa Fe Trail and Oregon Trail, and the south to north Chisholm Trail. These trails served first as routes through Kansas territory or for commercial purpose, but later served to bring settlers to the territory.
First Schools[edit]
Indian Mission schools[edit]
The Shawnee Indian Mission in Fairway, Kansas was the first school for children in Kansas Territory, serving Shawnee, Delaware and other Indian nations from 1839-1854.
In 1847, the Jesuits established a mission school for the Osage Indians in Neosho County at present day St. Paul, Kansas. Like the Shawnee Indian Mission School, education was available for both boys and girls. The curriculum included both academic studies and manual trades. The Jesuits who taught the children blended Native American customs with Christianity.[2] In 1869, following the cessation of Indian lands by the Osage tribe in Kansas, the school became St. Ann's Academy for girls and St. Francis Institution for boys, attracting students from several states.[3]
Kansas Territory[edit]
On May 30, 1854, the Kansas Territory was organized, and on August 30, 1855, the first Territorial Legislature made provision by law for a school in each of the counties of the territory. By 1858 the legislature recognized the right of all children regardless of color or religious background to an education. Section 71 of Chapter 8 of the laws of 1858, declares:
"All school districts established under the authority of this act shall be free and without charge for tuition to all children between the age of five and twenty-one years, and no sectarian instruction shall be allowed therein." [4]
Settlement in Kansas territory before the Civil War was hampered by the issue of slavery. Kansas became a state in 1861, but not before experiencing a period known as Bleeding Kansas. Even with statehood, questions concerning land titles continued because of Indian claims.
Despite this danger and uncertainty, settlement in Kansas continued. In the Spring of 1863, James R. Mead, noted plainsman and one of the original founders of Wichita, Kansas, first arrived in the Walnut Valley at the extreme western settlement. He came across the tiny community of Towanda where, in addition to the several families staking claims, he saw a "very rough log building called a school house".[5]
Following the Civil War, immigration renewed with passage of the Homestead Act and the final removal of the Osage Indians to Oklahoma, a result of the Drum Creek Treaty. One room schools were added at a furious pace to keep up with the new communities and farms.
A typical example is Lanesfield school near Edgerton, Kansas, and close to Kansas City. The first school session began in 1863 at a house owned by William Gans. By 1867, eighteen pupils attended class in a log schoolhouse on the Burton Dillie farm. In May 1869, nine townsmen met and voted to issue $1,000 worth of school bonds to construct a school built of native Kansas limestone.
Even in sparsely populated rural counties, the demand to build schools for the children of new settlers was intense. In the heart of the Flint Hills Marion County, Kansas for example, had a population of 60 in 1860, and by 1878, its population had increased to 8,306. This same year, the Kansas State Board of Agriculture, reported the number of students and schools for each county, including Marion.[6]
"Schools. - Number of organized districts, 65; school population, 2,913; average salary of teachers, per month, males, $35.45; females, $29.20. School houses built during 1878, 2; frame, 1; stone, 1. Total number of school houses, 64; frame, 50; stone, 14. Value of all school property, $72,918. A few districts have planted maple and cottonwood trees in their school grounds."
The large ratio of children (2,913) to population (8,306) speaks to the large size of families in the early years. Just as remarkable by today's standards, but not by those of early Kansas, is the number of school districts in Marion (65) compared to the relatively small population.
The materials with which schools were built varied by location and population. Most buildings were of simple frame construction, often with the school bell on a cupola. Especially, in the Flint Hills, native Kansas limestone was used. Sod construction was used in early western Kansas schools, where trees were scarce.
The brick chimney was usually set at the rear of the school room, but in some cases, the chimney was placed between the front door and the class itself. A wall was then constructed to keep away the cold from the classroom, and this area would serve as a chamber room for coats and lunch pails.
An interesting feature of many schools were the two front doors which allowed for separate entrances for boys and girls.
What is the Matter with Rural Schools[edit]
The conflict between rural communities and cities has always existed and still does. Rural children loved the small communities from which they sprang and enjoyed the freedom of life in the country. But education in rural communities could never hope to compete with that of the city.
By the beginning of the 1920s, the situation in rural one room schools had shown an insurmountable gap in the quality of education. A one-room school was also a one-teacher school. And, in the years 1921 and 1922, a study revealed that 76% of the teachers were new in their positions.And less than 10% had been teaching for more than a year.[7] These teachers were usually young and female. Marriage often accounted for their short tenure.
Notable Schools[edit]
The Acorn Schoolhouse is located in Franklin County on ancient John Brown Highway where it intersects with Iowa Road. The white wooden clapboard school was built in 1900, replacing an earlier structure built in the 1870s. The inscription over the door reads "Acorn School, District 74, built 1900".[8]
Arvonia[edit][9] Today, Arvonia is reduced to a few homes and the beautiful stone school.
Arvonia was settled in 1869, by a company of Welsh people who had formed a colony, with J. Mather Jones as their leader. When the town was started, it was hoped that railroad tracks would be laid along the Marais des Cygnes valley. This failed to happen and the community withered.[10]
Bichet[edit][11] Listed in the Historic Register.
Extinct Schools[edit]
One room schools in Kansas could not hope to compete against larger, better equipped schools in the cities. Rural one room schools had their own problems, especially the inability to retain teachers from year to year because of low pay and declining student enrollment.The automobile also made transportation possible for rural students to cities. The end of an era was at hand.
With the unification of school districts, one room schools were abandoned. In many cases, the schoolhouse reverted to the property owner. Then again, the school itself might be converted into a home or auctioned off. Where the building was on farmland, farmers would burn the structure to revert the land to farm or pasture. Finally, many structures just wasted away with time and weather.
|This section is empty. You can help by adding to it. (September 2012)
There are various projects to preserve the memory of Kansas one room schools. Foremost perhaps is the Kansas One Room School House Project, a Kansas Heritage Project..
Many of the Kansas one room schools still standing are preserved and maintained by local land owners and community groups.

Found Money
For a Florida Teenager, Honesty Pays Dividends
She still might be getting that car—but not with the $1,100 in the billfold. Because as soon as she discovered the name of the owner, she couldn't help but sympathize. Says Allen, 16: "I knew I couldn't keep it."
The youngest of four children, Allen was being driven to the hairdresser by her father, meat-market manager Lovell Allen, 39, on Oct. 23, when they spotted the wallet on the pavement. Tequesta tried to phone its owner, West Palm Beach police officer Frank DiStefano, 26, from the salon, but he has an unlisted number. So she tried his bank, since the name was on a withdrawal receipt with the cash. "I was shocked," says DiStefano, who had taken out the money for a down payment on a townhouse. "I was surprised anybody would return it, much less a teenager."
Fortunately for Tequesta, virtue hasn't been her only reward. DiStefano gave her $20 as thanks, and when a local newspaper carried a story about what she had done, money started pouring in. "You've restored my faith in humanity," wrote one donor. To date, Allen has received $1,910, including a $500 check from a local car dealer.
Of course, if any of these people had known Tequesta, they wouldn't have been so surprised that she has character. A student at Lake Worth Community High, she recently gave up her $5.50-an-hour job at Kentucky Fried Chicken to concentrate on improving her grades so she could go to college.
"She's very, very responsible," says Tequesta's mother, Martha, 38, an AIDS case worker, who notes that her daughter does community service work at Huggins Child Care Center in Lake Worth. "We were just saying how blessed we are to have her."

I have written a rexeg string to parse a log into a set of groups, however it is creating an empty group when an optional section of the log is present. I have marked the section optional using
? in regex, but it still seems to create an empty group.
Here are the two regular expressions I've tried;
([0-9]{2}:[0-9]{2}\.[0-9]{2}) - (DMG|KILL):[ ]+(.*?)\[(.*?)\] (?:damaged|killed) (.*?) \[(.*?)\](?: for (\d{0,9}) dmg)?
([0-9]{2}:[0-9]{2}\.[0-9]{2}) - (DMG|KILL):[ ]+(.*?)\[(.*?)\] (?:damaged|killed) (.*?) \[(.*?)\](?: for (\d{0,9})? dmg)?
My second regular expression has a question mark after the end of the
(\d{0,9}), as I thought there was the possibility that this was creating the empty group, but it doesn't seem to be that. I am parsing a string along the lines of the following;
00:00.00 - DMG: Player [group] damaged Victim [group] for 130 dmg
00:00.00 - KILL: Player [group] killed Victim [group]
It is when parsing the last line (no
for X damage) an empty group is created at the end.
I apologise for the monstrous regex.
It has been shown that my regular expression works fine, thanks to @Sniffer in the comments section. It can be seen here that it works as expected, however when implemented into my application, it does not.
When in my application,
matcher.group(7) (the last group) on a 'KILL' line (one that does not include 'dmg' returns null, and matcher.groupCount() returns 7 instead of 6, meaning it finds an empty group at the end. My regex is as follows;
private static final Pattern match = Pattern.compile("([0-9]{2}:[0-9]{2}\\.[0-9]{2}) - (DMG|KILL):[ \t]+(.*?)\\[(.*?)\\] (?:damaged|killed) (.*?) \\[(.*?)\\](?: for (\\d{0,9}) dmg)?");
And this is the code I am using to match the pattern;
Matcher matcher = DamageEvent.match.matcher(tLine);
if (matcher.matches())
int matches = matcher.groupCount();
if (matches < 6 || matches > 7)
System.err.println("Invalid line: " + tLine);
return null;
String time = matcher.group(1);
String type = matcher.group(2);
String attackerName = matcher.group(3);
String attackerGroupString = matcher.group(4);
String victimName = matcher.group(5);
String victimGroupString = matcher.group(6);
String damage = "0";
if (matches == 7) // This results as 'true'
damage = matcher.group(7); // Damage is set to null :(

Purdue-Wisconsin Preview
Associated Press | Last updated September 17, 2013
Wisconsin is trying to move past an excruciating and bizarre loss, and focus on its Big Ten opener against Purdue on Saturday. The No. 24 Badgers (2-1) lost 32-30 to Arizona State when officials erred in allowing the clock to expire after quarterback Joel Stave awkwardly kneeled down and planted the ball on the field, denying Wisconsin the opportunity to attempt a possible game-winning field goal. The Pac-12 issued a statement Monday acknowledging the errors by its officiating crew, saying it has "reprimanded and taken additional sanctions against officials'' in their handling of the final seconds. "To us, it doesn't matter. It's probably the (politically correct) thing to do and something they had to do,'' said Wisconsin linebacker Chris Borland. "But, we don't care about that. We lost the game, so that's all we care about.'' "You can't afford to dwell,'' Borland said. "You really don't have time, our busy schedules, the practicality of things that we need to do next Saturday, make it easy to forget about what transpired, regardless of if it was something like last week or if it would have been a game-winning kick, we'd have to move on either way.'' Coach Gary Andersen said he didn't expect the result of the game to be changed. "It doesn't change the outcome obviously and, like I said earlier, I don't expect that,'' Andersen said. "But, it's accountability and at the end of the day, that's what we asked for.'' Wisconsin probably couldn't ask for a more ideal opponent to kick off its Big Ten slate. The Badgers haven't lost to Purdue since October 2003, winning the past seven meetings - the last five by an average of 29.6 points. Wisconsin is second in the nation with 1,011 rushing yards through three games, and that's how it was able to steamroll the Boilermakers (1-2) in West Lafayette a year ago. The Badgers ran for 467 yards and four touchdowns in a 38-14 victory. Purdue is off to a rough start in Darrell Hazell's first season on the sidelines largely because it can't run. The Boilermakers are 113th in the nation in rushing yards per game with 79.0, and were held to 38 on 21 carries against Notre Dame last Saturday. Still, Purdue led the then-No. 21 Irish 17-10 heading into the fourth quarter before allowing three straight touchdowns in a 31-24 loss. Rob Henry threw three touchdown passes after throwing none in the first two weeks, though his lone interception was returned for a TD early in the fourth. "I thought we played more consistent on offense,'' Hazell said. "I thought Rob played a great game, other than the one throw. I though Rob played a great game in terms of creating plays, which we thought he could do all along.'' As long as the Badgers haven't had a game come down to the wire, they've been in good shape in recent years. Wisconsin's last 11 losses dating to October 2010 have been by a touchdown or less, including the 37-31 "Hail Mary'' loss to Michigan State in 2011 on the final play of the game. The Badgers do have plenty of room to improve defensively. After dominating Massachusetts and FCS school Tennessee Tech in a pair of shutouts, Wisconsin was shredded for 468 yards by the Sun Devils, including 352 passing by Taylor Kelly, who completed 29 of 51 passes. "Did we play great defense, which was in the plan to winning that game? No, we did not,'' Andersen said. "It was solid enough to keep us in the game and put us in a position to be able to do some good things.'' Now it's back to Madison, where Wisconsin has won four consecutive Big Ten home openers and nine of its last 10. "I think everybody's a little edgy, everybody's a little excited,'' Andersen said. "Coming back home, first Big Ten game, all that is there. I think our kids will bounce back will. It's part of life. It's life lessons that can be learned, you can only control what you can control.''

It really gives you a new appreciation for a game." - Nerdology "The Art of Watch_Dogs beautifully shows off the gorgeous artwork we've all been teased for the last couple of years. It's a must-have for art book collectors and hardcore fans of the game." - Daily Crate "Titan once again comes through strong with a hardbound compilation of video game concepts and renders revealing the artistic vision and inspiration behind the Ubisoft production." - VG Blogger "Titan Books is one of the more well-known producers of graphic art novels for anime, film and video games and they tend to deliver the goods for their core audience time and time again....those responsible for putting this product together have really done a wonderful job of expanding the title s universe." - PS4 Home "I found this book to be great companion to anyone playing the game that is looking for a deeper look into the art design process as or after they play. It gives a lot of great insight on the art, characters, and locations in the game and will likely bring attention to details you may have never noticed. The overall look and quality of the book is what I ve come to expect from Titan Books." - Game Cavern "This book is what I have come to expect from anything put out by Titan Books.

Should the board accept his resignation when it next meets, it will fall to Mayor Christopher Louras to appoint someone to fill out the remainder of the two-year term.MORE IN This Just In

Thank you to those who have expressed recent interest in my video work. There is more to come and please message me with any feedback.
Fred Ata is currently a working artist in the city of Boston, Massachusetts. He obtained his Bachelor's of Fine Arts from the University of Massachusetts, Lowell in 2004 where he concentrated in black and white analog photography. He recently obtained his Master's of Fine Arts from Tufts University in conjunction with the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston MA. He currently works in Video and incorporates elements of performance. Ata is currently an adjunct faculty at the University of Massachusetts Lowell and a video editor at HarvardX.
With Ata being a transplant from Lebanon, he decided to make his work revolve around identity and all the weight in which that word carries. Identity in which concerns culture, gender and sexuality, both representational and subjective. He approaches cross-cultural upbringing as having an impact on interactions within society, and question what effects that such upbringings could have on insecurity and assimilation to foreign situations. Ata is interested in the loss of culture, while trying to achieve a new yet unattainable ideal. He has worked with his family, asking them to participate in information exchange and memory recollection of their immigration. Ata is interested in working with non-artists in hopes of involving the public in an artistic practice that they would not have had the opportunity to be a part of otherwise.
Ata addresses desires for the persistence of linear cultural and familial traditions from one generation to the next while also showing their necessary transformation in contemporary diasporic locales by second and third generation subjects living in queer time. Through his work, Ata playfully confronts the viewer by luring them in through comedy and beauty. Only after, may the viewer realize that they too are privy to the oriental gaze.
