Skip to comments.Pizza Hut Fires Driver For Carrying Gun; Driver Said He Killed Armed Robber
Posted on 05/21/2004 10:15:03 AM PDT by TERMINATTOR
(INDIANAPOLIS, May 18th, 2004, 3:30 p.m.) -- A pizza delivery driver who fatally shot a man he said brandished a gun and tried to rob him was fired from his job and could face criminal charges.
Ronald B. Honeycutt shot Jerome Brown, 20, who was pronounced dead a short time after the late Monday shooting.
"I'm just satisfied it was him and not me," said Honeycutt, 38, of Carmel.
Honeycutt said he was returning to his van after making a delivery at an apartment on the city's far east side when he heard someone say "Hey, my guy" and turned to see a man approaching with a gun.
He said he pulled out his 9 mm pistol and fired all 15 rounds at close range.
Marion County Sheriff's Capt. Phil Burton said no witnesses had been found to the fatal shooting of Brown, who suffered multiple gunshot wounds.
Burton said investigators would present their findings to county prosecutors, who will decide whether any charges will be filed in the case.
After shooting Brown, Honeycutt said he picked up Brown's gun because he feared he had an accomplice, and returned to a Pizza Hut store, where detectives later met him.
He said Pizza Hut fired him for violating a company policy against carrying a gun, which he was licensed to carry.
A Pizza Hut spokeswoman, Patty Sullivan, confirmed that company policy includes a ban on carrying weapons.
Honeycutt said he had been delivering pizza for 20 years and always carried a gun.
"It's a fair job, but I don't plan on dying for it," he said.
Earlier thread about this same shooting:
Better to be fired by one than carried by six.
Here's hoping things are as represented, and for a happy ending.
Honeycutt said he was fired from his job because he had violated the store policy against carrying a gun, which he was licensed to carry.
"It's my life. I choose which policy to follow."
I don't even fire 15 consecutive shots when at the firing range! Must have been some sight!
I'd rather have my LIFE, than my Pizza Hut job.
38 years old and fired from Pizza Hut... maybe now he can get a real grown up job.
Check the story...he's been delivering for 20 years. Plenty of people make a very decent living delivering pizzas full time.
"I don't even fire 15 consecutive shots when at the firing range! Must have been some sight!"
I wonder how many rounds hit the assailant.
OH does this SUCK! This is the same cr4p that made me stop ordering from dumb-in-nose! That and their pizza doesn't cut it. Pizza hut, on the other hand, is my favorite, Great sauce, and that pan crust.....mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!
The company has a right to set their own policy, but why do corporate fops (suits) have to be so stupid!?!? A driver, complying with unconstitutional laws, and getting himself trained, is the best deterrant to drivers getting jacked. Bet there will be a drop in delivery drivers getting jumped......oh wait, he is in trouble for defending himself, so the lawless will simply be a little more careful.
Guess the email campaign to Pizza Hut will need to begin.
Stay alert,
Well he can have lots of fun and sue the hell out of Pizza Hut for firing him when he only defended himself in a robbery. Pizza Hut's position by firing is that all people delivering pizza should be subject to being robbed and are never expected to defend themselves and life when they have the means to do so.
Great Pizza Hut ad, isn't it?
No Pizza Hut for me based on this story. They will pay for this with the loss of the $10 I would have spent in their store over the course of 2 years and that is that! :-)
NOpe - we can't have our employees defending themselves....it just wouldn't be safe.....
Instead of e-mailing Pizza Hut, let'sjust publicize the no-carry policy as much as possible. Instead, e-mail Hannity and Limbaugh to tell the world "Pizza Hut drivers carry cash but no guns!" After a wave of robberies, the policy will get changed.
bump. I think Pizza Hut needs a FReeping.
Apparently, the right number found their mark.
Seriously, there is no need to start a campaign against Pizza Hut. They have a policy (that protects them from potential lawsuits). The driver choose to work their regardless of the policy. It was his choice to ignore the policy. If he didn't like the policy he could have started his own Pizza chain.
Possible names... Lock and Loaded Pizza, Trigger-Happy Pizza,
Possible slogan...Our Pizza Hits the Spot.
My comments: I think this guy was a little bit shook up to begin with, having been hassled on the previous delivery. He fired 15 rounds at close range, 3 to 5 feet, and the guy died later at the hospital. He must have missed most of his shots. I thought the true meaning of "gun control" is hitting your target the first time, and putting him or her down (dead). The perp was stupid enough to pull an unloaded weapon, which was lucky for the driver.
Of course coolness in this type of situation is not to be expected, even in from experienced gunfighters. Along this line, I think of the gunfight at the OK Corral, where some 30 shots were fired at not more than 15-20 feet by some allegedly excellent gunfighters, but only 12 hit or grazed the opponents, including Doc Holliday's shotgun blasts.
I also noticed that he stated that he had drawn his weapon in self-defense previously, probably preventing several robberies or worse, and saving Pizza Hut some revenue. So screw Pizza Hut, but what other policy could Pizza Hut have chosen? They would risk boycotts by gun-control nuts if they chose to allow delivery personnel to carry, not to mention the liability. The perp's survivors will no doubt sue Pizza Hut in an attempt for free pizza for life.
"No good deed goes unpunished."
With human life meaning less and less these days, for Pizza Hut to continue to have this policy is nothing short of dangerous.
Perhaps if the family of a pizza delivery driver who was killed sued the employer for not allowing the driver to carry a gun, this would change.
I do not believe there is not a slimy shyster lawyer who would not take the case.
What is not mentioned in the article is the coroners report that Brown was so high on meth or crack that he would not have reacted to the initial half dozen gunshot wounds.
After all these robberies just exactly how many delivery drivers are you expecting to end up dead? Just curious.
Deaths that any competent lawyer could blame directly on the no-carry policy. Any excess deaths over some industrywide average would indicate a policy failure, just as though the company had told its crane operators to walk under suspended loads. This would then lead to policy changes that would improve driver safety. Let's see the corporate PC weenies have to decide between "Allow drivers with CCW permits to carry guns" and "Do not deliver to Zip codes XXXX, YYYYY,..."
So have I.
Uh, I'd say the moral is he who shoots first and hits the target wins....
Even with the use of a low power catridge like the 9, that will do the job. Wow! (15 rounds of .22 LR at close range probably would as well).
If the range will allow it, you should on occasion. Many times the police empty their pistols during gunfights as well. The rule is you shoot until the threat is neutralized. Some people are slow to realize when that has been accomplished. :)
News to me. Next time I will empty all 15 shots and then assess the threat.
The 9mm is NOT a low power cartridge.
No it won't. What the suits are worried about it getting sued when a driver only manages to wound the would be robber, or by the survivors. Money is not expendable to them, deliverymen are. It's not like this is the first time they've fired a deliveryman over carrying and they have lost several to robbers and even to sickos who deliberately lure the drivers to an isolated area just so they can kill them.
Well, relative to some others it is. But I was actually just pulling the chain of the 9mm aficianodos. I prefer big and slow bullets, like .45 ACP. Good enough to stop drugged up Muslim Moros, not mention all the Old West bad guys stopped by the ballitically similar .45 (long) Colt, should be good enough for most any encounter where a pistol is the appropriate tool.
But then he would not have had 15 shots! :-)
While not a bad tactic, it leaves you with an empty pistol should the threat not be completely neutralized.
If you read the story, the guy said he kept shooting because the assailant didn't seem to even react to being shot, so he did evaluate the threat and determined to continue firing.
If nothing else, the guy seems fairly well briefed about what to say to the police, and the press, in such a situtation. Maybe he's a Freeper?
And he wouldn't have needed them either. :)
Not that I suspect he actually did in this case either, but then I wasn't there.
T'is better to be judged by 12, than carried by 6.
Pro Choice on firearms eh?
In that the 9 mm +P exceeds the power of a 'big and slow" 45 acp, I guess you would have to say the 45 ACP is a 'low power' cartridge.
Actually, I don't like trying to press the last two or three cartidges into the magazine! Since I am also a revolver fan, I usually practice with six in my auto also. I grew up "counting the shots" in my revolvers and didn't really get into autos till later. Only my 9mm has large capacity. The 357, 40 and 380 (all sigs) have smaller capacity mags.
It comes down to the stupid legal system. If they explicitly forbid carrying of weapons, then they are not liable for what an employee does in defiance of policy. A lawsuit stemming from a defensive shooting by an employee is expensive to defend against. For the policy to remain a defense against lawsuits, it must be enforced with zero tolerance
The basic rule is: if he's still standing with a weapon in his hand, he's still a threat, keep firing.
If he's down but still attempting to lift his gun, he's still a threat, keep firing.
When he's no longer a threat to your life, THEN you stop firing
I admit, I'm a velocity junkie. No sense hitting em, if your bullet bounces off their armor coating!
"What is not mentioned in the article is the coroners report that Brown was so high on meth or crack that he would not have reacted to the initial half dozen gunshot wounds."
A tweaker or a pipe head? Attempting a robbery? I am SHOCKED!
Look, I'm sorry for the guy. I'm a recovering alkie myself. Clearly, though, this cat was way out of control, and the driver had every right to take him down. I'm also disgusted that Pizza Hut wouldn't get behind their employee and support his decision. Think I'd ever drive for them? Not a chance if they expect me to die to support the drug habit of a passer-by.
Policy's the same everywhere.
You find a pizza delivery outfit that doesn't have that policy and let me know, okay?
Doesn't matter.
There are many locally owned non franchised Pizza places everywhere.
They don't have such policies. I will just buy from them. They make better pizza than the chains anyway.
If you find one, let me know.

Parenting advice from Tom and Ray
Dear Tom and Ray: Am I a jerk or a genius? My son is now 18, and when he was 15, I wrote him a check for $1,500, postdated three years. I told him that if he managed to reach the date of the check without (1) receiving any tickets, (2) being involved in any accidents or (3) breaking any of our house driving rules, I'd cash the check for him. My goal was to provide an incentive for him to play by the rules long enough to form some good driving habits. Anyway, my son very nearly made it. A few months shy of his 18th birthday, he received a speeding ticket. He was cruising along the highway, singing. And he suddenly realized he was being pulled over by a police cruiser. He fessed up about the ticket promptly, and was bemoaning the fine of $126. I gently reminded him that the ticket had actually cost him $1,626, as he had failed to fulfill our bargain. My question: Am I a genius for coming up with the carrot that made him a good driver during his crucial first years behind the wheel, or am I a jerk for piling on a $1,500 fine? Please note that his younger sister is watching carefully to see how this is resolved. She's 14, and whether I fold on this will go a long way in setting her expectations. My son took the news well, but I have friends who are treating me as though I smashed the boy's piggy bank and took his inheritance.
Ray: I understand the desire to teach your children that "a deal is a deal." But it's also worth teaching them about fairness, flexibility and that there's value in trying hard, even if you don't always succeed. After all, your mission is essentially accomplished. After driving responsibly for his first three years, your son is unlikely to turn around now and go out and drive like a moron.
Tom: So I would extend your offer. Make it clear to him -- and to his younger sister -- that since he dutifully fulfilled the contract for most of the three years, you appreciate his effort and you want to offer him a chance to redeem himself.
Ray: Right. Tell him that if he maintains a clean record for an additional six months after the original deadline, you'll still cash the check for him. Or you'll cash a slightly smaller check -- say $1,400 -- for him. And you can make it clear to both children that were it not for his excellent performance up until the speeding ticket, you wouldn't be offering him a second chance.
Tom: You can also make it clear that this is a one-time offer. That if he fails again, you intend to cash the check yourself and spend the money on that vibrating recliner you've had your eye on.

Chris Halliwell, Technology Marketing Center Executive Director signing in to the Leaders' blog.
Next time you find yourself assuming, or being confronted with the assumption, that "we know what customer's need because our salespeople and senior management talk to them all the time," here's some food for thought because you might be mistaken.
Voice of the Customer Defined
Most everyone will readily agree that industrial and B2B technology companies can't innovate or sell value if they don't understand customer strategy, motives, and operational success metrics. How do we gain this understanding? CEO musings? Secondary research? Trip reports? Sure, if stratospheric observations about obvious truths, followed by a cacophony of feature requests makes sense to you. Now, you would think that after decades of expensive training on solution selling that the Sales department would be the high likely place to understand customers' problems. It's just not. What sales does is a great job of is shouting a relay of customer tactical concerns that stand in the way of closing a sale (features, price, support). This is not VoC insight, it's good to know, but it is without context or insight as to value.
What Ever Happened to "Questioning for Need"?
My sales call/process training came from IBM eons ago, but I still remember the drill: establish rapport, question for need (aka qualify), initial benefit statement, feature/advantage/benefit presentation, address objections, close. Some version of this was taught at most major U.S. companies, at the time Xerox was famous for this, then Miller's Strategic Selling and Eades' Solution Selling, across segments to healthcare with AID,Inc.'s model you see here. Are most,or any, of the sales people you work alongside actually listening for need and value? Do they turn off the PC, make eye contact, and get curious? Doubtful, and just to hammer the point home, go look at your CRM system where the default automated process does not require questioning/listening, in fact may cost you more for a custom module, and where Description (qualitative) capture fields are not mandatory to move leads down the funnel.
You Have Hundreds of Customers: Lead Qualification Fell on the Floor
In fairness to CRM's lack of insight capture capability, "interviewing" and "questioning for need" is often lumped into the overall task of lead qualification, and most CRMs assume you are tracking already qualified leads. This makes a lot of sense in that you don't want your most expensive, high touch, sales people wasting time on unqualified/poor fit opportunities. In highly automated Saas businesses, qualification has been built into Inside Sales tools such as Marketo, and emerging social media listening and Lean Canvas tools. In more traditional industrial and hardware businesses, target selection, characterization and qualification seems to fall into some fuzzy netherworld between sales and marketing. Marketing professionals: step up! Get out there, listen to the voice of the customer, define value, understand fit, make strong recommendations on sales targets, and stay involved to learn/course correct over time. Call me if you need help.
You Have Tens of Customers: Listening is Account Development
If you have a relatively concentrated set of customers that generate the bulk of your sales, you probably have close, and more insightful, customer relationships. Here, the problem is not so much listening (I hope for your sake) as it is capturing, synthesizing, and sharing implications of customer insight. There are probably many ad hoc ways in which you share customer information among sales, operations, marketing and management folks, but I would advocate the use of a more formalized process to make sure the right questions are always asked, and that you are squeezing the most you can from customer listening to add to/capture value from customers. Sales professionals: step up! There is a fantastic book that outlines a so called Value Account Plan that documents increasing insights into your customer's business over time. It's called What The Customer Wants You to Know. If you need help, call Ram Charan.

I didn't get to see Scout's Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse in its limited theater run, so when I saw it on the Netflix DVD new release page, I added it to my queue.
The horror-comedy movie centers on three teen Scouts gearing up for their last-ever camp-out. The trio of friends suddenly find themselves in the middle of a zombie outbreak, and they attempt to save the town with their scout skills.
The Funhouse Massacre is a recent horror film, but it heavily evokes horror films of the 80s.
The plot is that six of the world's scariest psychopaths escape from a local asylum and proceed to unleash terror on the unsuspecting crowd of a Halloween Funhouse, where the themed mazes are inspired by those killer's various reigns of terror.
All the Missing Girls is a murder mystery written by Megan Miranda about the disappearances of two young women from a small town, ten years apart, and how they intertwine.

Here is the list of titles coming to Netflix in July 2016, as well as the ones that are leaving.
Noteworthy additions include the Back to the Future trilogy of movies, Mean Girls, The Big Short, The Sting, and Netflix original Tallulah.
But the real gold is in the series. Netflix originals include Marco Polo: Season 2, Stranger Things: Season 1, Marcella: Season 1, BoJack Horseman: Season 3, and Deep: Season 1.
Beyond the Ice Limit, the latest collaboration by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child, starts off with a slow burn, but as the characters hit the icy waters near Antarctica, the action and mystery are non-stop.
I was home alone in the early morning hours of Sunday, June 12, a week ago today. Time was creeping up on 2am. I was working on some posts for this blog, and took a break to clear my head. I refreshed my Facebook feed and this came up on my screen:
Then others started commenting on the post, and it became clear there was a shooting at Pulse nightclub. Over the hours to come, details would become clearer. The initial 20 dead would climb to 50 dead. But then it became 49 because it was felt the shooter didn't deserve to be memorialized with the 49 innocent souls he took that night.
This summer is an exciting time to visit Orlando and Central Florida, as new attractions, shows, thrill rides, and more are set to open at the area's theme parks.

A couple of weeks ago I found out I was chosen as "April's Featured Blogger" by Gotta Get Blogging. I'm completely thrilled and honored by this recognition.
The thing about blogging is you don't always know what kind of impact you're making. Sure people comment occasionally, or send emails, or tell you in person when they meet you. But for every person that makes contact in some way or another, there are probably 10 or 20 that don't – at least judging by my blog numbers.
So to be singled out in this way let's me know I'm on the right track and putting out something that means something to others, not just myself.
Plus, Gotta Get Blogging is run by some fine people who do a lot to help out bloggers, including putting on the annual Florida Blog Con (which I will be attending this year). So to receive this honor from them is an added bonus.
Anyways, if you want to read more about me, including a short Q&A, you can visit the Gotta Get Blogging newsletter archives.
And if you have bloggers that you enjoy reading, please de-lurk every now and then to provide feedback. Make a comment on a post or send them an email. Bloggers can't survive without the support of their readers. Thanks to everyone who takes the time to support me and my blogs!
The carefully crafted world of Marvel superheroes has been building to its newest release, Captain America: Civil War, which hit theaters in the U.S. on May 6.
The spoiler-free review is this is the best superhero movie to date. It deftly weaves in humor and a thought-provoking plot with lots of action and amazing special effects.
Every character gets a chance to shine, but nothing feels like it was wedged in. Every scene serves a purpose. Captain America: Civil War is all killer and no filler, and I would splurge on a 3D ticket or IMAX to get the most out of the movie.
For those that don't mind light spoilers, read on….
Anyone who knows me, knows tacos are my favorite food. I could eat them for every meal and be happy.
That said, there is a difference between Tex-mex tacos (pictured above), which is what most Americans consider to be regular tacos, and the original Mexican version.

(Page 3 of 3)
The records happened to be heavily big-band era, music of the 1930's, 40's and 50's. As it turned out, that fit neatly into the demographics of Bergen, which has a large population of affluent adults who grew up listening to those songs in their Chevies, Ramblers and DeSotos.
"We built this radio station out of the garbage!" Mr. Turro said. "And now we're No. 1 on the weekends in Bergen County! It's pretty gosh-darn amazing."
At WVNJ, Mr. Turro's closest rival, they are not amused. The station (1160 AM in Teaneck) recently changed its format to big band, hired several announcers from the heyday of big-band radio in New York, and announced plans to double its signal strength, to 20,000 watts. It has complained to the F.C.C. that WJUX's transmitter arrangement violates the rules on where a signal may originate.
"You're not supposed to send programming through a translator," said Ron Lustberg, WVNJ's general manager. "We're the ones who are licensed out of Bergen County." The F.C.C. is expected to rule on the complaint shortly.
Talk of the dispute momentarily darkens Mr. Turro's disposition. "WVNJ cloned us," he said. "No one listens to them anyway. Don't blame us for your failure. Look in the mirror."
WHATEVER Never a Dull Moment
At any given time on WFMU, you might hear post-industrial rock from a band like Combustible Edison or Voodoo Queens or Beatnik Termites, bachelor-pad music from the early 1960's, five minutes of hog calls, a discourse on baseball's changing strike zone, Connie Francis singing "Stupid Cupid," a rabbi discussing whether milk made from rice can be kosher, or "Meet Me in St. Louie, Louie," played on a 1906 Victrola.
If it is hard to lump all this under a single format, or even a dozen, it is no easier to explain how WFMU has managed to survive for nearly half a century -- let alone flourish, having been named best radio station in the United States in four successive critics' polls by Rolling Stone magazine from 1991 to 1994.
Founded as the student station at Upsala College in East Orange, it was infiltrated and eventually taken over in the late 60's by what Ken Freedman, the 37-year-old station manager, calls a band of "artists, hippies, weirdos and musicians." They installed the free-form ethos that still governs the station, and it has prevailed through years of battles with the college, creditors, rival noncommercial stations and even the elements -- the transmitter was once torn in two by an ice storm.
"We just keep bouncing from one horrible crisis to another," Mr. Freedman said. "It's really quite ridiculous. We've survived two or three situations that would have killed another station."
The worst crisis came last year, when Upsala filed for bankruptcy and then swiftly closed its doors, auctioning off the entire 40-acre campus. WFMU had already become independent by buying its license from the college in 1994, but the bankruptcy created a host of new problems. "We couldn't even imagine it," Mr. Freedman said. "We couldn't get our mail delivered. Our donations were going to a college that didn't exist. The electricity was messed up because we were still tied into the college's infrastructure."
The station is still housed in the one building on campus that isn't boarded up -- a fading Greek Revival mansion that would look quite splendid if the setting weren't so eerie. But that too is in jeopardy, because the bankruptcy trustees want to sell it.
To raise money for operations and living quarters -- preferably elsewhere, Mr. Freedman says -- the station just completed a two-week fund-raising marathon that took in $367,000, enough to insure its survival for at least a while. (The annual budget is $600,000, and the station also raises money with a mail-order catalogue and a record fair.) "We're too used to this to truly panic," Mr. Freedman said.
By now, it seems clear that WFMU's devoted corps of volunteers and listeners will find a way to keep the station alive. It is hardly a typical New Jersey radio station, but its pluck and grittiness might be a typical New Jersey story, inspiring even to those who wouldn't know the Voodoo Queens from the Lennon Sisters. "New Jersey's an underdog state," said Chris Tsakis, the operations manager at WFMU. "We're an underdog radio station."

(pg. 1); Big bands won a big audience for WJUX.; At WFMU, listener-supported free-form radio on the campus of the defunct Upsala College, "we just keep bouncing from one horrible crisis to another," said the station manager, Ken Freedman, right. He talked with Bart Plantenga, a disk jockey. (Don Hogan Charles/The New York Times) (pg. 8) Chart: "Loudmouths, Rockers, Jukeboxes: The Top 20" lists New Jersey stations with the most listeners.

The strongest connection between classic 'Star Trek' and the current rebooted set of movies was Spock Prime, Leonard Nimoy's beloved Vulcan character who was the only member of The Original Series to appear in 2009's "Star Trek" and its 2013 sequel, "Into Darkness." Although Nimoy died at age 83 last year before "Beyond" went into production, the franchise's most indelible character and the man who embodied him...
How insane 'Star Trek Beyond' timeline led to Enterprise's shocking fate
After they moved from Taiwan to Buena Park, Justin Lin's parents worked until 9 p.m., 364 days a year at their fish-and-chips restaurant near Disneyland. Dinner with their sons would be at 10 each night, and at 11 was the daily hour of parent-child bonding when they all watched "Star Trek" TOS reruns on Channel 13 together."That was my brothers' and my opportunity to hang out with them," recalls Lin, 44, who went on to attend UCLA film school,...

New Genetic Factors Found for Breast Cancer Risk
This week, researchers published a series of scientific papers identifying six new genetic factors they believe increase the risk of developing breast cancer. The new genes appear to create only a moderate increase in breast cancer risk, but are present in a large percentage of the population.

Geneseo Mathematics Colloquium Schedule
Suppose that you walk into the Fraser Study Area and find that a strange machine has been installed. It asks you to input a matrix. So, you give it one, it shakes and rattles a bit, and then it gives you a new matrix. Curious, you inspect the device and find the following message:
"This machine is linear and it does not change eigenvalues."
Is this enough information to figure out how the machine works? Come and find out the answer! Along the way, we will discuss the history of such machines, the current ones being studied, and their use in quantum computing.
The change in both the nature and the content of the natural sciences beginning with Copernicus' consideration of a different underlying dynamic for the motions of the heavenly bodies to the culmination of the process in Newton's Principia has been called the "Scientific Revolution". In recent years the concept of the "Scientific Revolution" has come under attack by historians and philosophers of science (and others). The chief criticism is that the accepted story of the revolution is far too simple. A major component of the scientific revolution was the alteration in the way mathematics was used in science, particularly in Physics. Newton and Galileo were two of the principle figures in this revolution but the way they each used mathematics was very different and often at odds with the accepted story of the revolution. This talk will deal with just how each of these figures used mathematics in advancing a new Physics.
This research is a reflection of the need for education to prepare students for either careers or college. As the world is becoming increasingly more globalized, it is more necessary for high school graduates to have basic understandings of other cultures and subcultures. We worked with three middle schools in Connecticut that are implementing interdisciplinary units that have components of multicultural knowledge, building "intercultural competence," or ICC, in their students. I worked to develop assessment tools for these teachers and school districts. The tools will measure specific qualities we determined to show "high ICC levels" in middle school students. There is a strong theoretical background influencing these decisions and the creation of the tools, which have multiple uses within classroom environments to gain a comprehensive understanding of the students' skills.
Megan will also introduce the research she did the previous summer at Kansas State University that focused on graph theory and combinatorial optimization.

j ≤
n is more than n2-ε for any ε > 0. This is known as the "sum-product problem".

Donald Trump says Pawlenty isn't a "tough guy" [VIDEO]
Please Tim, fight back on this one.
Donald Trump thinks Tim Pawlenty isn't tough enough to be president.
Appearing by phone on "Fox and Friends" yesterday, Trump and his combover told the audience that Pawlenty "blew it" by not attacking Mitt Romney on "Obamneycare" at the Republican debate. Trump, who attacks everyone on everything, said this reveals T-Paw's fatal flaw: A lack of toughness.
"When I saw that, it was like, 'it's over," Trump said. "Now the problem with Pawlenty, he's trying to be a tough guy."
Oh, man. When a guy who inherited wealth, slept through the Wharton School and goes bankrupt every few hours is calling out the toughness of a hockey bum born to union workers in South St. Paul, something's gone wrong with the universe.
Earlier this year, Trump ran for president for about a week, railing about Barack Obama's birth certificate, and basically predicting he'd steal all the oil in the Middle East by beating all the dictators in an arm wrestling tournament.
Then Obama and Seth Myers humiliated him at the White House Correspondents Dinner, and Trump dropped out of the race a suddenly as he got into it.
So, T-Paw, you're being bullied -- and by a softie, no less. You know how the code for how this goes in hockey: You have no choice but to drop the gloves, grab hold of Trump's lapel and give him one in that oh-so-punchable jaw.

DESIGN NOTEBOOK; The Half-Life Of Must-Haves
By WILLIAM L. HAMILTON
Published: September 26, 2002
THE phalaenopsis orchid must have, in the wise words of Hollywood, changed agents this year. It is appearing as an interior accessory in Architectural Digest, Elle Decor, Traditional Home, House Beautiful and Real Simple.
''They're pretty much on every page of every magazine,'' said David Stanley, the owner of Horticus in Los Angeles, a flower shop that specializes in orchids. Mr. Stanley's sales of the $35 white phalaenopsis have shot from 100 to 500 plants a month in the last year. ''I can't imagine anyone getting tired of something so beautiful,'' he said. ''But it's happening, thank God. I'm sick of them.''
The furnishings world has always had fashion envy, but it would do well to remind itself that fashion has its victims.
Every fall season brings its bumper crop of styles and looks for the home, and with it, gently put, a ubiquity beyond belief. Coral, Andy Warhols, square table lamps.
For every Mombasa bag, the horn-handled handbag not seen at the New York fashion shows last week (it was a waiting-list item in March), there is also a piece, a pattern or a palette that has shown up at one too many parties in the September-October whirl of decorating magazines, catalogs and shops.
On the horizon: overscaled houndstooth checks. Sailing toward the horizon: the French 1940's. Off the map: Asian fusion, and pink.
''I wouldn't base my whole life on pink now,'' said James Leland Day, a stylist for photography shoots whose own pink apartment is pictured in Living Room magazine. ''I don't think it's over, but it's peaking.'' There are also stories featuring pink in October's House & Garden and House Beautiful. Mr. Day moved to a new apartment last month and painted it green and blue.
''I had to push the envelope,'' he said.
White is the new black this year in design fashion, in particular a 1960's Pop Art movie-set white, seen most prominently in September's ''Glamour Now'' Vogue. White leather seemed as kicky as a plastic go-go boot when it showed up last year on Mies van der Rohe's Barcelona chairs in the private Playboy Club-like penthouse at the Park in Chelsea. It is pictured in the new catalog from Design Within Reach, a mass-market modern furniture retailer, on Barcelona chairs and daybeds, traditionally upholstered in black. The English club furniture in the public rooms at the Viceroy, a late-model boutique hotel in Santa Monica designed by Kelly Wearstler, is also upholstered in white leather, not brown.
''It's beachy, it's crisp,'' said Ms. Wearstler, when asked what inspired her. ''I'm a leader, not a follower.''
Morocco is a popular at-home destination this year, in September's W and October's Chic Simple. ''The Marrakesh thing is over,'' said Nate Berkus, a decorator in Chicago, speaking of its power to excite as a style. ''It's everywhere; it's exhausting. The family room as opium den. I wish that was my family.''
Margaret Russell, editor in chief of Elle Decor, said, ''One too many lanterns.'' (September's Elle Decor included a Moroccan-themed ''hippy chic'' TriBeCa loft.)
How does Ms. Russell determine what not to publish? ''You just reach a saturation point, in submissions, like you're seeing the same place over and over again,'' she said. Ebonized floors and the ''15th take on Christian Liaigre'' are Code Red, red not being the new black.
Ms. Russell still likes toile de Jouy, something of a reprieve. ''When you saw it, you knew it would come and go,'' said Mr. Day, the stylist. The French fabric, printed with 18th-century patterns, which streaked through decoration several years ago, fashionable and fresh-looking in modern interiors, has come -- and gone to the bank laughing. Target is selling it, as draperies and pants. Look for toile as place mats from E.A.T. in New York and bedsheets and tablecloths in the Martha Stewart mail-order catalog.
''The collection is selling unbelievably well,'' said Stacy Senior Allan, marketing manager of Thibaut, a wallpaper and fabric company with a choice of 22 toiles.
''We asked our customers recently about whether it was peaking,'' Ms. Senior Allan said. ''They get worried when they see it on pants. But we think it will be a long-lasting trend.''
Unlike sunflowers.
''Big in 1994 and '95,'' she recalled, like the remotest history.
Or monkeys.
''They're cute, but we're tired of them,'' Ms. Senior Allan said. ''It was part of the British colonial thing. It's hanging on in parts of the South.''
Ms. Senior Allan observed that trends now had longer lives because of economic recession and a desire for familiarity.
''Even in fashion, they're letting women wear things for two seasons instead of one,'' she said. ''It's the same in home furnishings. You have to get comfortable with it. They're smart not to let people think they're out of fashion, that they have to redecorate every year. They'll just give up.''
Jonathan Adler, a popular designer, when asked if he felt at risk of becoming a cliché, or if his work was in danger of being overexposed, said, ''It takes a lot more courage to extend a trend than to start one.'' Mr. Adler's signature vases and pillows, with his name firmly attached in captions to pictures, have showed up in more than a few magazines lately.
