NEW CUMBERLAND — The West Shore School Board on Thursday night hired two new administrators, one who already is a familiar face in the district.
Melinda Stuck is the district's new director of business affairs, replacing Brett Sanders, who has served as the district's acting director of business affairs since David Shipe resigned on March 28.
Stuck has worked for the Huntingdon Area School District for 20 years, most recently as the district's business administrator. She plans to relocate to this area "as soon as it's worked out," she said Thursday.
"I really look forward to being part of the West Shore team and working with all of you," Stuck said.
Sanders will remain as the district's coordinator of technology and media services, a post he maintained while serving as acting director of business affairs.
Also on Thursday, the school board hired Bryan MacLeod as vice principal of Cedar Cliff High School. He replaces Ken Roseberry, who resigned Aug. 8.
MacLeod has worked as an art teacher in the district for 15 years, as well as chairing several school-based committees.
During the 2012-13 school year, MacLeod also participated in an administrative field experience internship at a high school of 1,300 students, according to his LinkedIn profile.

Scribblenauts Unmasked marks the return of the Scribblenauts series to the Wii U, bringing along with it the entirety of the DC Comics Universe to explore. This game is a dream come true for comic fans, but if you're looking for the traditional puzzling action that attracted you to the original Nintendo DS titles, you'll have to endure the comic book story overlay.
Maxwell and his sister Lily teleport into the DC Comics universe and end up with a broken globe and scattered starites, meaning you'll have to do battle with several DC villains in order to get them back and get Maxwell and Lily to safety. Along the way you meet several DC super heroes who enlist your help, including Batman, Superman, the Green Lantern, and others.
Several iconic DC Comics locations are the setting for Maxwell's quest in finding the lost starites and there are a series of mini-tasks and actual story quests that will reward you with starites. Sometimes the mini-tasks feel tacked on, but Scribblenauts Unmasked does a good job of rewarding creativity with adjectives and nouns by enlisting a 50% penalty reputation reward for reusing the same words.
As you delve into the game, you'll find that Maxwell has a huge arsenal of weapons at his disposal, some better than others. The combat in the game is pretty generic and highly dependent on the tools you give Maxwell and even then, it's mostly just a case of running at whatever you want to kill and pressing the B button. You'll get reputation points for using different words to complete objectives, so giving Maxwell a flamethrower repeatedly isn't rewarded, but even still you could get away with a repeated combo of knife, machete, kukri, and sword and not be docked.
The reputation system is attributed to the game as a hero's need to be unique, as described by Batman during the few opening scenes. You'll earn reputation based on the unique words and adjectives you use to complete objectives in the game, but you'll also lose reputation points should you happen to die and need to respawn. Completing quests rewards enough reputation that it doesn't feel like too much of a penalty.
Maxwell can also jump between several locations to help avoid the reputation penalty, so if you've already used a rope in a particular level and you're stuck, just jump to a different location in the universe and hammer away at that for a while. The puzzles in between the starite missions are a bit tedious and I wish there were more than the basic, 'solve this problem for me' tidbits that seem to carry over from the original DS versions of the game.
Graphics & Audio
The DC Comics universe is faithfully recreated in Scribblenauts style, which is a real treat for fans of the comic series. The traditional comic battling onomatopoeia are present, along with the signature BAM! POW! SLAM! exclamations during combat. It's a unique feel to the game that lets you feel as though you're actually in the universe.
Everything is presented in comic book style with very big attention to detail given to all the characters available. Simply typing Batman or Green Lantern in your notebook will bring up several options, as you can summon the many different iterations of these heroes throughout their lengthy comic book history.
The Wii U-exclusive offline multiplayer mode of Scribblenauts Unlimited returns in Scribblenauts Unmasked, which allows up to four players to take a Wii Remote and control objects from the game. It's interesting to see other players be able to possess the heroes you've spawned in and it has a bit more functionality than the Scribblenauts Unlimited implementation, but it's still just a novelty rather than something you'd want to experience with multiple people.
Wii U Features
Marking its return from the Scribblenauts Unlimited game is the character creator, where you can create any number of heroes or villains and add them to the game. This takes the form of the Batcomputer in the Batcave, where you can choose to create a new super hero, or perhaps mimic one from the Marvel universe should you decide you want to play around with Wolverine or Spider Man.
The TV is practically pointless for the game, since the touch features of the game require you to look at the GamePad for most of the game. It's nice if you want other people to be able to watch you while playing, but I found that playing on the GamePad was sufficient enough that I didn't even really experiment much with playing on the TV.
Overall, the story arc of the game is worth experiencing if you're a Scribblenauts fan. It's even better if you're a fan of DC Comics. Starite missions are fun and varied and the storylines that progress are worth experiencing, but the filler missions as you move from story to story are a bit bland. This is a complaint that has been leveled at the Scribblenauts series since its inception on the original Nintendo DS and it's a shame that 5th Cell hasn't found a way to spice up these bits yet.
I loved the attention to detail with the Batcomputer and the ability to spawn in just about every villain and superhero from the DC Universe. It's obvious this was a labor of love for the developers and it's one that fans of both Scribblenauts and DC Comics can appreciate. You just shouldn't go into this one expecting combat to be satisfying, since you're primarily a wordsmith along for the ride in the universe.
+ Batcomputer has a comprehensive list of villains and heroes
+ Create your own villains and superheroes as you see fit
+ Story missions are fun and varied
+ The overall comic book feel of the game is superb
– Combat is woefully boring, even with different items
– The mini-missions of the game are boring
– No real incentive to play on the TV beyond multiplayer mode
Score: 7/10

City Commissioner Steve Novick released the results this afternoon from a $28,000 phone survey asking voters what the cash-strapped Portland Bureau of Transportation should fund with new taxes and fees.
Surprise! Portlanders want sidewalks and crosswalks.
The survey of 800 registered voters, conducted by Davis Hibbits & Midghall, says eight of ten people said they wanted the city to dedicate money to "sidewalks and safety features in places where children need them to get to school and seniors need them to get to transit."
The same number of people said they wanted "more crosswalks and flashing light signals on streets with dangerous intersections and bus and transit stops."
Novick offered an actually unexpected announcement at today's City Hall press conference: He's asking City Council to dedicate $1 million of this year's city budget to walking safety improvements, most of them in East Portland.
Novick says the budget request is for 15 sets of flashing beacons at crosswalks at the city's most dangerous intersections—two in Southwest Portland and 13 in East Portland. (Note: These numbers have been changed from Novick's original estimate.)
"East Portlanders have reasons not to be happy," Novick says. "However much money we raise, I am confident we are going to invest a lot of money on safety improvements in East Portland."
By another measurement, road paving remained the most popular item. More than a quarter of voters surveyed from Jan. 16 through 21 said the city's first priority should be sealing the city's crumbling roads and repairing potholes.
But pollster Adam Davis says the biggest change from 2007—when then-City Commissioner Sam Adams asked Portland voters about his street-fee plan—is that citizens are more concerned about walking safely.
"Public concern about pedestrian safety has grown significantly," Davis says.
WW reported in December that City Commissioner Steve Novick was shopping ideas for new taxes and fees to fund the cash-strapped Portland Bureau of Transportation. The phone survey is designed to help Novick decide how much money the city will seek to raise—and how it will ask voters for cash.
In a City Hall press conference this afternoon, new PBOT director Leah Treat described the increased priority for walking projects as important new information.
"Had we relied on surveys that we had done fairly recently," Treat says, "we would have been off the mark."
The public outcry for sidewalks and crosswalks has grown since 5-year-old Morgan Maynard-Cook died last February after being hit by a car while trying to cross Southeast 136th Avenue.
Novick says the survey doesn't tell PBOT how much money it can raise with new taxes and fees—but it does tell the city what projects voters will support.
"Based on this research," Novick says, "it's clear that people are somewhat more supportive of safety and maintenance than they are of, say, paving gravel roads. It says that we start with what is absolutely necessary in terms of safety and maintenance and then move on from there."

We finally got a chance to see who will be vying for the doctors' positions at Seattle Grace and it looks like some steep competition. The new doctors remind me a lot of the old, which I'm sure was done on purpose, and it's going to be interesting to see who stays and who goes.
As of last night, it looks likes Izzie is the one to go. She was fired at the end of the episode and then leaves Alex, falsely believing that he told the chief to fire her. We don't know where she went, but I have a feeling we haven't seen the last of her. Rumor has it she'll be back and the out was because Katherine Heigl needed time off to work on a new movie.
Izzie has been acting a bit crazy these last few weeks while still dealing with her cancer and George's death. In the beginning of the episode she is pitted against new doctor Reed, who goes to take George's locker. Reed kind of reminds me of Izzie, a strong woman who is not afraid to say "no" or do what she feels. In the early days, I believe it was Izzie versus Karev in the locker room after he found pictures of her centerfold days.
Izzie bounces back from this and goes on to befriend new doc Charles, who is sort of like a George. He's a bit dorky and he's the guy who wants the girl but lacks the skills to get her. Charles is all friendly at first, but it turns out he was using Izzie to get information and make her look bad -- which is not something George would do. Izzie is so frustrated with him that she accidentally gives a patient medication that makes her flat line. She's brought back to life, but probably not for long, since she was waiting on a new kidney and can no longer have the operation. This all leads to Izzie's firing.
Sweet little Lexie is also have issues with a new intern April, who is like her. Class nerd, always trying to impress, very smart, Lexie and April were pretty much the same before Lexie was tainted by the rest of Seattle Grace. With the help of a patient/burglar, Lexie gets April's notebook where she keeps her secrets and uses them against her. Not very Lexie-like, but she does apologize at the end.
Cristina is having her problems with a new doctor, but it really turns out to be about herself. She's upset over not being able to do heart surgeries and kind of gives in. Karev also seems to give in after Izzie leaves him, but this somber mood better not last for long. Our old favorites are going to have to fight if they want to stay.
Another story line last night revolved around Callie whose father has returned to make her straight with the help of a priest. "You can't pray away the gay," Callie yells at him. But after a talk with Arizona, her father decides that he won't pray away the gay and begins to accept his daughter again.
Do you think Izzie should have been fired? Who do you think could be next? We'll have to stay tuned to find out.

Here's what's on TV tonight: It's a new season of "Big Brother" (7 p.m., WWL) and the long-running summertime rat-lab experiment is making a few changes. For example, there will be two Heads of Household each week, and a new competition, called "Battle of the Block," will take place. And more audience-interactivity is also promised. Julie Chen remains all-knowing, all-seeing Housemom.
Meanwhile, the New Orleans-bound-eventually "Brew Dogs" (8 p.m., Esquire) and "Best Bars in America" (9 p.m., Esquire) kick off their seasons with back-to-back episodes. Locally raised comedian Sean Patton is co-host of "Best Bars," which opens its season in Portland, Ore. Pop open a cold one and read more about Patton here.
And, in the new drama "Taxi Brooklyn" (9 p.m., WDSU), Chyler Leigh ("Grey's Anatomy") stars as New York City detective who's also a very poor driver. She gets some transportation help from a French cabbie played by Jacky Ido ("Inglourious Basterds"), and there you go.
"It's very possible that the series could simmer down, find its tone and play up to the strengths of Leigh and Ido as leads; but for now, 'Did somebody call a taxi?'" writes Tim Goodman @ HollywoodReporter.com. "No, thank you."
Elsewhere: "Nature: Fabulous Frogs" (7 p.m., WYES), "Duck Dynasty" (9 p.m., A&E), "The Message" (9 p.m., BET).
Late night: Eleanor Holmes Norton guests on "The Colbert Report" (10:31 p.m., Comedy Central), Hurray for the Riff Raff performs on "The Late Show With David Letterman" (10:35 p.m., WWL), and Gary Oldman guests on "Jimmy Kimmel Live" (10:35 p.m., WGNO).

JACKSON, MI – Jackson property and business owners will see a reduction in their stormwater utility fee beginning this summer.
Jackson City Council members voted 5-1 on May 7 to approve the city's 2013-14 spending plan, which includes a 6 percent reduction across the board to the stormwater utility fee.
"We lowered the fee because we didn't need the extra money," Jackson City Manager Patrick Burtch said. "If you don't need the funds, then it's our responsibility to reduce the fee to Jackson residents."
Council voted in January 2011 to enact the fee, which today costs homeowners about $30 a year.
The reduction will hit the books beginning July 1, when homeowners will begin paying about $28 annually.
Non-residential owners pay a fee depending on the size of their lot, among other factors. Their fee was also reduced by 6 percent, according to city officials.
City Council member Andrew Frounfelker, 5th Ward, said council members were advised that the city could afford to reduce the fee anywhere from 5.8 to 6.3 percent.
"We picked the 6 percent drop to keep it a nice, round number," he said.
The fee reduction means the city will see a $114,000 drop in utility billing revenue, from $1.2 million to an expected $1.09 million next year.
Opponents of the stormwater fee, though, hope to see the ordinance stricken from the record entirely.
Jackson County filed a suit against the city in December 2011 after they received a $32,000 stormwater bill. Jackson Coffee Company and Klein Brothers officials followed suit after being charged more than $4,000 combined.
The lawsuit is currently in the Michigan Court of Appeals.
Jackson Coffee Company owner Brian Surgener said earlier this month he hopes to present oral arguments to the court as soon as possible, as part of the lawsuit asks that the city refund 100 percent of the fees.
"The longer we wait the more money the city might have to pay back to residents and business owners," he said.
Come July 1, the city is expected to have accumulated about $2.8 million in billings since the fee was enacted in 2011.
When asked what the city planned to do should they be required to pay it all back, Burtch said he didn't know.
The stormwater fee fund balance is about $250,000, according to budget reports.
City officials have said the money from the city's street fund, once used for leaf pickup, catch basin clean-up and street sweeping, can now go toward street repairs alone. In the past, the stormwater funding was covered by property taxes and money from the city's street funds.
The city is expected to spend the most stormwater money on leaf pickup ($196,835) and legal fees ($150,000) in the coming fiscal year.
Opponents of the fee cite a 1998 Michigan Supreme Court decision that held a similar stormwater fee in Lansing was a tax, and therefore illegal under the Headlee Amendment of the state constitution.

Lorpen Allround Trekker Socks
Trilayer® sock: 50% Coolmax®, 25% Tencel®, 15% Nylon®, 10% Ea. LYCRA®
Mike says...
" As I now only wear running shoes when out trekking and am not bothered with wet feet in the warmer months, I was looking for a synthetic sock that I could use. The reason for this is a simple one - I work on the process of three when it comes to socks; one on, one drying and one spare. I have done trials from a heavy wool content sock to a purely synthetic one, with the drying time greatly reduced using synthetic. This means I can wash a pair of socks in camp in the evening, put them on the outside of my pack if the following day is dry or put them next to my skin if not, so ensuring a clean dry pair of socks everyday.
Not only this, I find all Lorpen socks comfortable to wear and well made. "
The Shoes are a good fit for me as I have quite shallow feet, and a 45 euro size with a medium thick Teko sock was a spot on fit. I decided not to break them in so did a 14 km flatish walk with them fresh out of the box. I followed this with 18km over Helvellyn via Striding Edge, so a stern test to say the least, with a wet valley walk of 12km on the next day.
Oh my god, what a difference. The walking seemed easier and lighter, noticeable not lifting the heavy boots every step. The weather was wet for the 3 days (as it always is in the Lakes) but the sticky sole advertised certainly was sticky - I did not slip at anytime on sharp edges, wet rock or wet grass. The sole unit has a flat section at the toes which gives an excellent platform to stand on small rocks jutting out, a real help on Striding Edge. The shoe is not gore tex lined but with the only mesh being under the laces I found the shoes stayed remarkably dry inside without avoiding any shallow puddles or obvious wet areas of the walk. My socks became a little damp on the last valley walk day and the shoes felt a little wet inside when we stopped for a brew. But a quick change of merino socks and the shoes were dry inside again by the bottom of the hill.

A file system consists of a number of cylinder groups. Each cylinder group has inodes and data. .Pp A file system is described by its super-block, which in turn describes the cylinder groups. The super-block is critical data and is replicated in each cylinder group to protect against catastrophic loss. This is done at file system creation time and the critical super-block data does not change, so the copies need not be referenced further unless disaster strikes. .Pp Addresses stored in inodes are capable of addressing fragments of `blocks'. File system blocks of at most size .Dv MAXBSIZE can be optionally broken into 2, 4, or 8 pieces, each of which is addressable; these pieces may be .Dv DEV_BSIZE , or some multiple of a .Dv DEV_BSIZE unit. .Pp Large files consist of exclusively large data blocks. To avoid undue wasted disk space, the last data block of a small file is allocated as only as many fragments of a large block as are necessary. The file system format retains only a single pointer to such a fragment, which is a piece of a single large block that has been divided. The size of such a fragment is determinable from information in the inode, using the .Fn blksize fs ip lbn macro. .Pp The file system records space availability at the fragment level; to determine block availability, aligned fragments are examined. .Pp The root inode is the root of the file system. Inode 0 can't be used for normal purposes and historically bad blocks were linked to inode 1, thus the root inode is 2 (inode 1 is no longer used for this purpose, however numerous dump tapes make this assumption, so we are stuck with it). .Pp The .Fa fs_minfree element gives the minimum acceptable percentage of file system blocks that may be free. If the freelist drops below this level only the super-user may continue to allocate blocks. The .Fa fs_minfree element may be set to 0 if no reserve of free blocks is deemed necessary, however severe performance degradations will be observed if the file system is run at greater than 90% full; thus the default value of .Fa fs_minfree is 10%. .Pp Empirically the best trade-off between block fragmentation and overall disk utilization at a loading of 90% comes with a fragmentation of 8, thus the default fragment size is an eighth of the block size. .Pp The element .Fa fs_optim specifies whether the file system should try to minimize the time spent allocating blocks, or if it should attempt to minimize the space fragmentation on the disk. If the value of fs_minfree (see above) is less than 10%, then the file system defaults to optimizing for space to avoid running out of full sized blocks. If the value of minfree is greater than or equal to 10%, fragmentation is unlikely to be problematical, and the file system defaults to optimizing for time. .Pp .Em Cylinder group related limits : Each cylinder keeps track of the availability of blocks at different rotational positions, so that sequential blocks can be laid out with minimum rotational latency. With the default of 8 distinguished rotational positions, the resolution of the summary information is 2ms for a typical 3600 rpm drive. .Pp The element .Fa fs_rotdelay gives the minimum number of milliseconds to initiate another disk transfer on the same cylinder. It is used in determining the rotationally optimal layout for disk blocks within a file; the default value for .Fa fs_rotdelay is 2ms. .Pp Each file system has a statically allocated number of inodes. An inode is allocated for each .Dv NBPI bytes of disk space. The inode allocation strategy is extremely conservative. .Pp .Dv MINBSIZE is the smallest allowable block size. With a .Dv MINBSIZE of 4096 it is possible to create files of size 2^32 with only two levels of indirection. .Dv MINBSIZE must be big enough to hold a cylinder group block, thus changes to .Pq Fa struct cg must keep its size within .Dv MINBSIZE . Note that super-blocks are never more than size .Dv SBSIZE . .Pp The path name on which the file system is mounted is maintained in .Fa fs_fsmnt . .Dv MAXMNTLEN defines the amount of space allocated in the super-block for this name. The limit on the amount of summary information per file system is defined by .Dv MAXCSBUFS. For a 4096 byte block size, it is currently parameterized for a maximum of two million cylinders. .Pp Per cylinder group information is summarized in blocks allocated from the first cylinder group's data blocks. These blocks are read in from .Fa fs_csaddr (size .Fa fs_cssize ) in addition to the super-block. .Pp .Sy N.B.: .Xr sizeof Pq Fa struct csum must be a power of two in order for the .Fn fs_cs macro to work. .Pp The .Em "Super-block for a file system" : The size of the rotational layout tables is limited by the fact that the super-block is of size .Dv SBSIZE . The size of these tables is .Em inversely proportional to the block size of the file system. The size of the tables is increased when sector sizes are not powers of two, as this increases the number of cylinders included before the rotational pattern repeats .Pq Fa fs_cpc . The size of the rotational layout tables is derived from the number of bytes remaining in .Pq Fa struct fs . .Pp The number of blocks of data per cylinder group is limited because cylinder groups are at most one block. The inode and free block tables must fit into a single block after deducting space for the cylinder group structure .Pq Fa struct cg . .Pp The .Em Inode : The inode is the focus of all file activity in the file system. There is a unique inode allocated for each active file, each current directory, each mounted-on file, text file, and the root. An inode is `named' by its device/i-number pair. For further information, see the include file .Aq Pa sys/inode.h . .Sh HISTORY A super-block structure named filsys appeared in .At v6 . The file system described in this manual appeared in .Bx 4.2 .

|[TRLog] Florida Qso Party
|email@example.com (Pete Raymond)
|Tue, 30 Apr 2002 17:52:37 -0400
This past weekend I operated the Florida Qso Party (FQP) using TR6.64 and want to surface some problems I had. I have been using TR for over six years and these are the first problems I have encountered. After about an hour into the contest TR stoped sending any kind of a report, function keys worked but no reports in either the cq mode or S & P. Then started working again after I reconstructed my Logcfg values. Logged Qso's with AL as nf would not accept AL. Would not accept Mar for Maritime province in Canada. Would not give me any multiplier credit for any DX that I worked. Hopefully the powers to be can look at this before next years party and find the problems. I have heard that others had some similiar problems as I did. The FQP was still a very enjoyable qso party with plenty of activity. 73 Pete N4KW

Hawaii House, Senate vote to increase minimum wage
HONOLULU – The Hawaii state House and the Senate have approved separate proposals to raise the state minimum wage.
The initiative comes just weeks after President Barack Obama announced a plan to raise the national minimum wage to $9 an hour.
The Senate bill would gradually increase minimum wage to $9.25 in two years and fix the wage to the consumer price index starting in 2016.
The House proposal is less ambitious, raising the wage to $9 by 2017. The House proposal is rolled into a larger bill that deals with unemployment benefits.
Proponents say raising the state minimum wage – which is currently $7.25 per hour – will help Hawaii residents keep up with the rising cost of living.
They say that the rising cost of rent is causing people with low-earning jobs to become homeless.
Senate Minority Leader Sam Slom voted against the Senate bill. The Republican has consistently opposed the initiative and says raising the minimum wage leads to higher unemployment.
Local businesses have expressed the same concern, saying that increased labor costs would decrease their total revenue.
Sen. Malama Solomon supported the Senate bill but said she is worried about the effects of fixing the wage to the consumer price index.
Now that both chambers have passed their versions of the bills, the Senate will debate the House proposal and vice versa.
The chambers, which both have Democratic majorities, will need to work out a compromise to present to the governor at the end of this session.
Gov. Neil Abercrombie supports raising the wage. The Democrat asked lawmakers for a $1.50 wage increase by next year in his State of the State address in January.

I lead a very happy life, there is a lot of situations that occur and I just shake my head, realize I can't control it and to just roll with the punches. The area that truly sucks for me, as a mother, that I have zero control over is getting a psychiatrist to realize what the counselor and my own self realize about my middle child. We have gone through so much with Aj, he is such a bright sweet caring compassionate child but he suffers from something that is, also, out of his control. This something is called a mood disorder that is reminiscent of bipolar disorder, not fun at all.
With getting a diagnosis of ADHD and then finally the pysch realized he has a mood disorder, Aj has tested out a variety of medications for the past few years. As of January 20th, the current psychiatrist has had him on no medications. I will say I have been having fun observing my child but right now is time for some medication plan to be in effect, but the psychiatrist is not calling me back. I have left three messages as of February 10th to this woman, who by the way is a "fellow" in a fellowship, not an actual full time pediatric psychiatrist which is frustrating in itself. There are many things I have noted with my son that just made me realize he does need medication, sadly, my sons condition is not something I, nor he, can control.
As a way to journal my experiences with Aj no longer on medications, I wanted to write a blog post, so that anyone out there dealing with a special needs child can know they are not alone and maybe there are some who can lend me more tips on coping and relieving the tension that comes from parenting a child who has special needs.
Week One – January 20th Starts No Medication
Aj gets a bug going around, not sure what virus it is but the rest of us (aside from my fiance) ended up with strep. Aj happened to get on antibiotics due to fluid leaking from his ears, two days before the rest of us got diagnosed with strep throat. Aj spent time missing school and sleeping 13-14 hours at a time. This was a decent week, no real situations to report because he was sick so that meant he was pretty laid back and easy going.
Week Two – No medications and No Sickies
There were some days of no school due to the scheduling of our school administration unit so Aj wasn't having too many demands placed on him just yet. Aj did okay and seemed to really only have adverse moods that were ignited by something not going "as he had planned it go to". One thing about Aj is that he is an extremely, over the top, routine driven child. Everything in Aj's world must go exactly the same way every day or as he has it planned to go in his mind, if one thing doesn't go that route, even if he is given enough insight that things are going to happen this way, he just cannot handle it and is thrown into a fit of frustration, anger, or tears. The response of Aj used to be of pure rage but these days you can see anything from a 2 year old style tantrum on the floor to running off to cry in his bedroom or a secluded area of the home when frustrated. This particular week, myself and his father at his home really saw the side of Aj that doesn't do well with things not going as he planned.
Week Three – No Medications and Hello Bipolar
This week was rough, not only were we seeing Aj exhibit his normal frustrations with things not going as he had planned in his mind but his mood disorder really started to shine through. This made me sad, disappointed and just so out of control of my own child. I am blessed to have worked and currently work with an amazing counselor who has given us the tools to parent Aj, not to mention I am really good with instinctively parenting my children. One thing that I was reminded of this week is that I have to remain in control of my tone, Aj is sensitive to what tone you use. I am not kidding. It is extremely bad, for example if you say "what" to him when he says your name and that "what" wasn't in an approved tone type of Aj he will not say what he has to say until you get the tone right. I played that game until I realized there was no way my tone would be approved by Aj this week, he simply was beyond irritable and there was no getting him to act normal. I use the term normal lightly. Most of this week Three and the weekend was spent trying to keep my own frustration down while still ensuring rules were followed with the up and down moods of my son. This week was not only rough, but more so a nightmare that spiraled downward.
Week Four – No Medications and Trying to Reach Pyshiatrist
As I write this, we are now in week four which is this current week we are in. I cannot give much of an update because it's only Monday that I am writing to schedule this for later publication on site. I can say this; I left a voice-mail for his current pysch and left a message for his upcoming new pysch. The new pysch called me back as of the time I am writing this and has penciled Aj in for an earlier appointment, earlier as in 20 days before the one they had previously schedule his new patient visit for. That's 20 less days of watching my son fall apart uncontrollably, it's better than nothing.
My Wish for Aj and His World He Lives In
I wish for more people to have compassion for bipolar people. Sadly I see far too often that many tell me "well it's just behavioral, you aren't strict enough" or "he doesn't need medication, he needs a firm slap on the butt". I mean, seriously, I am so sick of everyone who doesn't live this telling me what to do. I don't mind those who deal with similar instances who want to lend me tips on how they survive parenting a child like this; one who has anxiety, a mood disorder and some ways that fall under the autism spectrum. I am not talking to other people, sharing stuff on Facebook or on my blog post to have people give me answers or tell me how to parent, I am sharing because this is my community that I reach out to for support, advice and love. I do that for others and only expect that in return. I hope that Aj can get moving forward soon, before it messes with his schooling, right now I am simply thankful that the situation is not affecting Aj's grades. I just hope he doesn't have to suffer for much longer and can get on proper medication to lead his happy life that he had many years ago when they placed him on a drug that worked awesome but sadly made him gain too much weight so it's not an option for him to take that anymore for health reasons.
I just want my son live … freely, happily and steadily.

Westcott Bay Institute, Visual Arts Museum agree to merger
Westcott Bay Institute for Art & Nature and the Visual Arts Museum of San Juan County will merge and create a new organization under a new name.
The merger means both organizations will work together to build an accredited county arts museum, preferably in Friday Harbor. Proponents say an accredited arts museum could attract traveling art and cultural exhibits from major metropolitan museums. This would allow San Juan County residents to take advantage of arts opportunities provided elsewhere in the Pacific Northwest, they say.
Westcott Bay Institute operates Westcott Bay Sculpture Park in Roche Harbor and the Island Museum of Art on Spring Street. The Visual Arts Museum has long proposed building an accredited arts museum in Friday Harbor. It has organized arts presentations in Friday Harbor, established a relationship with The Art Gallery of Greater Victoria, and initiated discussions with county officials regarding locating a museum within a future county administration building.
For the past seven months, Westcott Bay Institute and Visual Arts Museum have been discussing ways in which they could better serve the community by working together.
In a retreat held July 13, the boards of the two organizations agreed to a full merger effective Jan. 1 and to begin partnering immediately. The two groups will share a booth at the San Juan County Fair Aug. 13-16 and will continue with all their planned educational programs, exhibitions, lectures and shows.
"We'll be forming a new organization with a new name and a combined board but the basic missions of the two organizations are so synergistic that merging missions will be transparent to the public," Westcott Bay President Nina Le Baron and Visual Arts Museum President Pamela Nichols announced in a joint press release.
"The new organization will be committed to having a museum in Friday Harbor eligible for accreditation that provides outstanding visual arts exhibits, experiences, lectures and education."
Le Baron said the sculpture park will continue to be the "crowning jewel" of the combined organization.
Westcott Bay Institute's directors are Suzy Pingree, Peg Gerlock, Beth Nicholson, Misty Todd, Sheila Webb, and Le Baron. The Visual Arts Museum's trustees are George Johnson, Marilyn Luckman, Bo Turnage, and Nichols.

New Waterford trustees discuss service lines
FAIRFIELD TOWNSHIP – During Thursday's trustee meeting, Road Supervisor Mel Miller said Columbia Gas wanted to continue service lines on Beeson Mill Road to two properties.
The company needed access to the township right-of-way.
The work order is for 190 feet and is just north of state Route 344.
"It's a service line to properties," Miller said and trustees voted unanimously to allow Columbia Gas to work in the right-of-way.
Township fire fighting equipment was also serviced, Miller said explaining the equipment is serviced every six years and completely overhauled every 12 years by Warren Fire Equipment.
He also said the sheriff reported a tree down on Metz Road that was removed by the department.
Trustee Chairman Bob Hum asked Miller how the fish were holding up in the township-owned Old School Lake behind the government building. Last August, Miller also expressed concern about the cattails and algae in the lake and Hum suggested placing some algae eaters in it. Hum suggested putting amurs in the lake noting they grow to about four feet in a couple of years and will take care of the algae and eat the cattails.
Trustees approved a $250 purchase of eight amurs in September for algae control. Old School Lake is used by fire departments as an emergency water source.
Miller said he wasn't sure how they were doing and Hum noted there were a lot of green on the back by the cattails. Miller said he would look into it.
Hum also noted a residence on Camelot Drive that has high weeds and looked up the case number and spoke to the attorney. He said Zoning Officer Kymberly Seabolt sent letters out and "it worked once before."
Trustees will meet in regular session on at 7 p.m., July 17 in the government center at 3062 Fairfield School Road.

|Re: [CQ-Contest] CT vs. N1MM

Personally, I will not upgrade to a new vesion a week prior to a contest unless the new version addresses a specific issue that I was having an issue with or a feature I wanted. Many serious operators will "lock" down the station at some point where no changes are made to the station unless absolutely necessary. If you are comfortable with a fairly recent version of the program stick with that unless a newer version fixes an issue you were having. Many times the upgrades will fix an issue with a contest I am not interested in operating. Mike W0MU -----Original Message----- From: firstname.lastname@example.com [mailto:firstname.lastname@example.com] On Behalf Of Pete Smith Sent: Friday, October 20, 2006 6:20 AM To: email@example.com Subject: Re: [CQ-Contest] CT vs. N1MM Pardon the soapbox... What many people overlook is that the N1MM Logger project is taking a qualitatively different approach to software development, in the effort to rapidly evolve the software to meet the incredibly varied set of needs asserted by users. Where most software's revision cycle is measured in months, MM's is measured in days or sometimes hours. That means, in essence, that the software is in perpetual public beta test, and the trade-off for the price (hi) is that users are asked to help by testing and reporting ASAP. As a yardstick, there have been 8 releases in October (so far). See www.n1mm.com for details - look under the Download pull-down menu for Download Latest Upgrade, to find a complete revision history. That being said, N1MM is a "real contester", and is very aware that during contest season he needs to be particularly conservative in making changes that could affect program functions in the major contests. Over the years, he has gotten better and better at making that judgment. I track bug reports and feature requests for the software, so I'm intimately aware how few really important ones come up, and how fast Tom responds. 73, Pete N4ZR At 01:29 PM 10/19/2006, Bill Turner wrote: >ORIGINAL MESSAGE: > >On Wed, 18 Oct 2006 23:40:10 -0400, Peter Dougherty ><email@example.com> wrote: > >>N1MM is probably the best piece of contesting software you'll ever >>use.

The central issue in the hate crime trial for a rash of Amish hair- and beard-cutting attacks in Ohio was whether the defendants committed the assaults because of the religion of the victims, an appeals court has reasoned.
And in answering that central legal question, two of the three judges on the Ohio appeals panel found that "when all is said and done, considerable evidence supported the defendants' theory that interpersonal and intra-family disagreements, not the victims' religious beliefs, sparked the attacks," CNN is reporting, citing court documents on the ruling.
Thus, the appeals court Wednesday overturned hate-crime convictions of 16 Amish men and women in connection with the beard-cutting attacks on other members of their faith, CNN said.
Background according to CNN: The leader of a breakaway Amish community, Samuel Mullet Sr., and 15 of his followers were found guilty in 2012 in connection with what authorities said were the religiously motivated attacks on several Amish people. Mullet and others were convicted of conspiracy to violate a federal hate-crime law.
Prosecutors said Mullet's followers, at his instruction, shaved the beards and cut the hair of Amish people who had left his group over various religious disagreements.
Mullet was sentenced to 15 years in prison for the crimes. Four of his followers were sentenced to seven years, three received five-year sentences, two were sentenced to two years and six were sentenced to a year and a day, according to the Justice department.
The jury also had convicted various defendants with separate assaults, and Mullet with concealing or attempting to conceal evidence, including a camera and pictures of the attacks, the U.S. attorney's office said.
Those charges, which were not part of the appeal, still stand. And it was unclear if any defendants will be released as a result of the overturned hate crime convictions.

Nick Lachey and Jessica Simpson's divorce is about to be a done deal, and only "Extra" has the all-new Nick and Jess bombshell. A source close to the couple told "Extra" about the hours leading up to Jessica filing for divorce late Friday.
Nick and Jessica had a top-secret final goodbye meeting at her parents' home in Encino, Calif., where Simpson is now living. They met for more than an hour, and although emotional, both decided she would file divorce papers on Friday. They also stated they want to remain friends.
We're also told that Simpson is prepared to give Nick 50 percent of the marital assets.
But TMZ.com's Harvey Levin said this raises a key question. "Fifty percent of what?" he asked. "Jessica is saying privately that she has way less money than anybody is reporting. And the question is whether Nick is going to buy that. If he doesn't, there is going to be a fight."
"Extra" has also uncovered more secrets from inside the divorce documents, in which Simpson sites "irreconcilable differences." Mrs. Lachey wants her name to go back to Jessica Simpson.
She's also requesting that Nick not be awarded spousal support.
And now, only "Extra" sets the record straight on today's other explosive rumor.
OK magazine has reportedly offered Nick $300,000 to dish the dirt on the marriage and the breakup. But a source in Nick's camp told "Extra" the story is completely false, adding, "While Nick is disappointed they couldn't save their marriage, he is in good spirits."
