Since Boeing and Airbus are in a pitched battle for superiority in the aircraft industry, you may not be surprised to learn that both companies have scheduled first flights for new planes at the very same time. But you'd be wrong, kinda—they're wholly different beasts.
For Boeing, it's the horrendously delayed wide-body civilian 787 Dreamliner. After numerous errors, design flaws and failures, the craft is just about ready for its maiden voyage—once the company's own reviews, taxi tests and FAA documentation all line up properly. That means the first flight could come as soon as Tuesday, December 15.
The 787 was supposed to have been in service starting in May 2008, with an initial flight in September 2007—a first flight right now is a demonstration of exactly how astray the 787 project has gone. It's still got many hundreds of orders on the books, but what'll turn out to be around a two year delay has had serious effects for Boeing and its many clients. Still, when the eco-friendly plane is in service it'll be a good thing for the environment.
Meanwhile Airbus's newest vehicle, the military wide-body A400M actually did take to the skies today. Despite the success of this maiden voyage (an 8,000-foot basic performance checkout) the actual first flight was supposed to be in the first quarter of 2008. It's not quite as delayed as the 787, but that has been an issue for some of the eight nations who have ordered the vehicle as a direct replacement for the U.S.-built (and now very aged) C130 Hercules craft.
Why are both these vehicles so late? For the Airbus at least part of the problem has been political wrangling. But the Airbus is also a cutting-edge plastic and carbon-fiber vehicle, with radically designed composite Scimitar propellers. And the Dreamliner's design is all about efficiency—with careful aerodynamics, and almost exclusive use of composite materials, the real difficulties have been technical. These vehicles are pushing the cutting edge of aircraft design, in two different ways, and the delays mean that at least Boeing's and Airbus' CEOs have something chummy to talk about.

The text in question isn't forum text - it's knowledge base documents. I do strip out just about everything I can (all html tags are stripped for example) however plain and simple some of these docs are actual manuals which tend to be on the larger side. For these types of docs the 1k actually tends to be rather useless information (introductory text, etc) with regards to the search, so I can't just toss most of the document where the actual relevant information is. > My timings seem in line with your estimates - a 1k doc takes 5ms so a 200k doc is close to a second! Yes, it's painful.

I guess the other question is,was summer ever here?Not really. At least last year we had a very hot first 2/3rds of July to make it a short summer,but this year from start to finish, you can count the hot days on one hand. As it stands right now with the blocking over Greenland in place and not moving out any time soon. I think we can say summer will not return.Of course the pattern can change suddenly as we all know,but there are no signs of that happening anytime soon.This august is almost identical to last year.
Chilly morning,dropped to 50 degrees.Inland areas in the 40's this morning.
Still the August sun will warm some of us close to 80 today.Another beautiful day.Pattern pretty much staying in place, will just have to watch and see if a coastal low gets close enough to give us some rain on Sunday.
Aug. 20th
Although mornings feel like fall,the day warms up to a comfy temp.Although its not hot,its real nice weather.With comfortable evenings. Really can't complain, unless your one of those that likes the heat and humidity.One more warm day and then the wind turns off the ocean and we will run cooler than normal through the weekend.Its really amazing this pattern had hung in now with troughs over Greenland,an upper low over the Hudson bay area and anther low around the Alaskan bay area.This pattern keeps the heat down to the south of us.
With a couple of systems surrounding us and a warm front washing out to our west,theres a lot of clouds around the next couple of days.Also a flow off the ocean will keep things below normal.Looks to be another below normal August,like last year.
Made it through another week. Weather pretty quiet,except for a few showers last night and this morning.Should clear out tomorrow afternoon and be fair and cool.A small warming trend for next week,before another front approaches the area. We will have to watch 96L to see where that goes. Models all over the place, don't even care about models right now until we get some kind of decent center. Not even sure this will develope.

Vatican publishes reflection on discerning essentials of faith
Catholic News Service
VATICAN CITY — When a significant portion of the Catholic faithful ignore or reject a church teaching, it is often — but not always — a sign that social and cultural pressures are weakening their faith or that church leaders simply have not found a way to explain the teaching, said members of the International Theological Commission.
The commission published the document "'Sensus Fidei' in the Life of the Church" on the Vatican website in late June with the approval of Cardinal Gerhard Muller, prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith.
The theologians, who were appointed to the commission by Pope Benedict XVI, had been asked to explain the meaning, purpose and limits of "sensus fidei" and "sensus fidelium" -- the capacity of individual believers and of the church as a whole to discern the truth of faith.
"The sensus fidei fidelis," they said, "is a sort of spiritual instinct that enables the believer to judge spontaneously whether a particular teaching or practice is or is not in conformity with the Gospel and with apostolic faith. It is intrinsically linked to the virtue of faith itself; it flows from, and is a property of, faith."
While the validity and importance of different church teachings cannot be the subject of a popular vote, the degree to which they are or are not accepted by most Catholics is important, the commission members wrote.
"When the reception of magisterial teaching by the faithful meets with difficulty and resistance," the document said, "appropriate action on both sides is required."
Catholics "must reflect on the teaching that has been given, making every effort to understand and accept it," the document said. "Resistance, as a matter of principle, to the teaching of the magisterium is incompatible with the authentic sensus fidei."
At the same time, the theologians said, "the magisterium must likewise reflect on the teaching that has been given and consider whether it needs clarification or reformulation in order to communicate more effectively the essential message."
Writing about Catholic laypeople, the commission said, "not only do they have the right to be heard, but their reaction to what is proposed as belonging to the faith of the apostles must be taken very seriously, because it is by the church as a whole that the apostolic faith is borne in the power of the Spirit."
While "the faithful have an instinct for the truth of the Gospel," the document said, there are situations in which Catholics claim to be relying on that instinct when, in fact, they are promoting deviations from the Christian faith, particularly on moral issues.
The document explains what sensus fidei means, gives biblical evidence for its importance, looks at the history of its development in the church, provides some criteria for discerning when it is authentic and discusses how it is "different from the majority opinion of the faithful in a given time or place."
Particularly drawing on the teaching of the Second Vatican Council, members of the theological commission rejected the idea that Catholic laity are to blindly obey everything the pope and bishops tell them. However the document emphasized the importance of assuming church leaders are correct, trying to understand the basis for their teaching and, in particular, for praying, regularly receiving the sacraments, studying and being an active member of the Catholic community before claiming to be able to discern that a church teaching needs adjustment.
"It is clear that there can be no simple identification between the sensus fidei and public or majority opinion," the document said. "These are by no means the same thing."
"Faith, not opinion, is the necessary focus of attention," it said. "Opinion is often just an expression, frequently changeable and transient, of the mood or desires of a certain group or culture, whereas faith is the echo of the one Gospel, which is valid for all places and times."
In addition, members of the commission noted, "in the history of the people of God, it has often been not the majority, but rather a minority which has truly lived and witnessed to the faith."
The International Theological Commission also said the sensus fidei guarantees Christian freedom and can help purify the faith because it helps individual believers distinguish "between what is essential for an authentic Catholic faith and what, without being formally against the faith, is only accidental or even indifferent with regard to the core of the faith."
As two examples, the commission members mentioned the possibility that some Catholics may downplay certain forms of Marian piety while still maintaining a devotion to Mary, or "they might also distance themselves from preaching which unduly mixes together Christian faith and partisan political choices."
The sensus fidei also is essential in helping the church respond to modern problems and challenges because it gives "an intuition as to the right way forward amid the uncertainties and ambiguities of history, and a capacity to listen discerningly to what human culture and the progress of the sciences are saying," the document said.
The commission members said the lay faithful are able "to sense what Pope Francis has called 'new ways for the journey' in faith of the whole pilgrim people. One of the reasons why bishops and priests need to be close to their people on the journey and to walk with them is precisely so as to recognize 'new ways' as they are sensed by the people. The discernment of such new ways, opened up and illumined by the Holy Spirit, will be vital for the new evangelization."

The author is a Forbes contributor. The opinions expressed are those of the writer.
Attorney Craig R. Benson of Indiana represented two Debtors in a judgment enforcement action brought by a Creditor.
The Debtors wanted to sell some of their assets to a third-party Buyer, with the Buyer paying $75,000. The Creditor found out about the sale, and obtained an Attachment Order from the Court that basically required the Debtors to keep the $75,000 intact, and not distribute it to anyone.
On February 11, 2010, the sale was consummated, and Attorney Benson received the $75,000 into his attorney trust account. Almost immediately, on February 17, Attorney Benson violated the Attachment Order and distributed out some of the moneys. His excuse was that his clients the Debtors instructed him to make the disbursements, and he was required to do so, and that it was simply a decision that the Debtors had made to violate the Court's Attachment Order.
On February 22, the Court ordered the Debtors to pay the sale proceeds to the Clerk of the Court, who was to hold it until the litigation was completed. Of course, Attorney Benson could not comply with the February 22 Order because he had already disbursed some of the moneys. So, without telling the court about the February 17 disbursements, Attorney Benson applied to the Court on February 26 for permission to pay $16,000 of the moneys to other creditors of the Debtor, and $24,000 to himself for attorney's fees. The Court gave Attorney Benson the thumb's down to these disbursements on March 4.
Noting that Attorney Benson had not paid the $75,000 to the Clerk as has been ordered, the Creditor then moved for an accounting of the moneys held in Attorney Benson's trust account on March 22, and Court granted the Motion. Thus, on April 7, Attorney Benson filed an accounting with the Court that showed that the $75,000 was still intact in full in his trust account, and he made no mention of the February 17 distributions.
On June 18, the Court again ordered that the $75,000 be paid to the Clerk. Attorney Benson again refused, and instead in the next several days paid out the balance of the funds to other creditors of the Debtors, and to himself for attorney's fees (which eventually totalled $38,000 of the $75,000).
Then, Attorney Benson advised his clients the Debtors to file for bankruptcy so that they wouldn't have to comply with the Court's Order, and they did so on June 27.
On August 12, the Creditor filed a motion to hold Attorney Benson in contempt. The Court ordered a hearing, at which the Attorney Benson admitted to distributing the $75,000 in violation of the Attachment Order and two Orders to pay the $75,000 to the Clerk.
Apparently sick of his machinations, the Court dropped the full weight of its judicial powers on Benson, fining him $75,000 for contempt and ordering him to jail until he paid the fine -- which occurred after only two days.
Attorney Benson appealed the contempt finding, the fine and the incarceration, claiming that the Debtors' bankruptcy filing divested the Court of all jurisdiction, including to take action against him personally.
He lost. The automatic stay of the bankruptcy filing stopped the Creditor's actions against the Debtors, of course, but it did not stay anything the Creditor might do against Attorney Benson, personally -- this is well-established law. Moreover, the $75,000 fine was ordered to be paid by Benson, personally, and not from the assets of the Debtor's bankruptcy estate.
But of course the biggest flaw in Attorney Benson's thinking was that he had violated the Court's Order and mislead the Court about the $75,000 being fully intact well before the Debtors filed for bankruptcy. Attorney Benson's blatant contempt was simply a bell that could not later be somehow un-rung by the later automatic bankruptcy stay.
Thus endeth the Court case as it relates to the Debtors and Attorney Benson -- and thus begins the case of the Indiana Supreme Court Disciplinary Commission case against Attorney Benson for his ethical violations.
The Commission brought two counts against Attorney Benson: (1) Knowingly disobeying a court order; and (2) Engaging in conduct prejudicial to the administration of justice.
After reviewing the evidence, the Commission found that Attorney Benson been dishonest when he failed to tell the Court that he had already disbursed some of $75,000 from his account. Further, Attorney Benson had committed the misconduct for his personal gain, which was to collect his attorney's fees. Finally, Attorney Benson refused to acknowledge that he had done anything wrong, and showed no remorse.
But in mitigation, the Commission noted that Attorney Benson had never been professionally disciplined before this incident, and he had already been fined $75,000 and spent two days in the slammer.

Extreme Networks Brings Network Management to the Cloud
Extreme Networks is rolling out a cloud-based management platform that officials say enables users to more quickly adapt to changing application needs and to manage both network switches and wireless access points.
The company's ExtremeCloud offering delivers zero-touch provisioning and simple management capabilities that is designed to enable network administrators to address not only the requirements of current infrastructures but also business needs in the future, according to Extreme officials. It includes a simple user interface and a flow-based application architecture that they said enables faster data processing.
Organizations are relying even more on networks to communicate with both customers and employees, according to Extreme President and CEO Ed Meyercord.
"Because of this, increased dependency combined with the need for pervasive connectivity are driving businesses to embrace a cloud-based management model," Meyercord said in a statement. "To address these needs and empower IT, Extreme is entering the cloud-based network management market as a mature organization with years of experience in building and managing enterprise-class wired and wireless networks and addressing connectivity challenges throughout the world."
The company's ExtremeCloud platform will enable organizations to more easily manage wired and wireless network switches and access points.
Extreme's heritage is in the wired world. The company rapidly expanded its wireless capabilities in 2013 when it bought Enterasys Networks for $180 million. It has since broadened its wireless portfolio. With the ExtremeCloud platform, users can now manage ExtremeCloud switches and wireless access points (APs) either through the cloud or on premises.

The New York Jets created another media circus this week when teammates anonymously ripped quarterback Tim Tebow. That controversy, along with a 3-6 record, forced owner Woody Johnson make a rare media appearance and lay down a verbal gauntlet this week.
"I didn't sign up for 3-6," the Jets owner said.
That comment is a clear indication that jobs are on the line if things don't improve -- and it starts at the top with the general manager.
But Jets general manager Mike Tannenbaum went on WFAN in New York this week to discuss the topic. Tannenbaum said he's focused on his work, not his security.
"I'm not worried about me right now. I'm the last thing I'm worried about," Tannebaum told the radio station. "I'm worried about this team and anything I can do to help. And each week, we've had our challenges."
Tannenbaum deserves criticism for putting together a roster with little depth. New York lost receiver Santonio Holmes and cornerback Darrelle Revis for the season, and those two players were enough to sink the Jets' season. They are incredibly thin at receiver, offensive line and running back. Quarterback Mark Sanchez hasn't developed, but New York might have to start him again in 2013 because of his recent contract extension. Tannenbaum's draft picks also have failed to make an immediate impact.
It's a mess in New York. But Tannenbaum and coach Rex Ryan should get one more season. This pair had two very successful years together in 2009 and 2010, followed by two subpar seasons. Next year should be a make-or-break season for these two.

Meek Mill's Announces Dreamchasers Tour, Show at Fillmore Miami Beach on August 13
To quote a wise man named Meek Mill, "Dreamchasing is an occupation."
As opposed to a simple hobby or some shit, the act of hustling after one's essential needs and wildest wishes (e.g. "tryna fix the roof leak," "tryna keep the house warm," "tryna touch a million dollars") should consume every hour of the motherfuckin' morning, day, and night.
Do work, get money, grind ... It's a timeless motivational mantra. And that's why this Dream Team leader, Maybach Music member, and Rick Ross protege (born Robert Rahmeek Williams) just can't stop spreading the word.
Whether it's a mixtape like Dreamchasers or Dreamchasers 2, next month's Dreams & Nightmares debut slab, or his Dreamchasers tour, the Philly-via-Miami rapper is all about positive self-realization. Plus thick hoes, rice rockets, big blunts, fat stacks, and do-it-yourself home repair.
So chase your dreams. And see the cut for Meek Mill's summer 2012 concert dates.

CUYAHOGA FALLS: Police said a 42-year-old man has been arrested for setting off a small explosive device Thursday morning outside the Cuyahoga Falls post office.
Shane M. Fraley of Cuyahoga Falls walked into the police department lobby at 7:25 a.m. and turned himself in to police, said Falls Police Capt. Jack Davis.
"We believe it was a homemade device," Davis said.
Fraley told police he dropped the device inside a window well in the building at 2054 Second St.
He then went to the police department to confess to the crime.
Davis said they have no motive in the incident and believe Fraley picked the building at random.
Fraley is charged with unlawful possession and manufacturing of a dangerous ordinance, arson, vandalism and possession of criminal tools.
No one was hurt in the explosion, and the only damage was a broken window.
Cuyahoga Falls police and the U.S. Postal Inspection Service are investigating the incident.
Fraley is in custody and made his initial appearance in Stow Municipal Court for arraignment Thursday afternoon.
Kathy Antoniotti can be reached at 330-996-3565 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Readership among teenagers has dropped significantly over the past decade due to developments in technology but new figures show a continued depressing trend through 2014.
New York Times opinion writer Frank Bruni penned a story Monday to point out that less than 20 percent of 17-year-olds read for pleasure.
His math came from a new report by Common Sense Media that indicated this year's findings are down more than 50 percent from the 31 percent of high school seniors that reported reading for fun in 1984.
Contrarily, only nine percent of 17-year-olds in 1984 said they "hardly ever" or never read for pleasure. That figure has tripled to 27 percent in 2014, more than one out of four near-adults.
While reading paperback or hardcover books is likely to never make a full comeback to its golden age, one New York man is doing his part to keep the hobby alive.
Michael Seidenberg operates an unadvertised, unofficial business in his residential home, so as not to get in any legal trouble.
His crowded oasis, Brazenhead Books, houses thousands of books, most of which cannot be found in corporate bookstores like Barnes & Noble.
The owner does not make a lot of money, instead referring to himself as having failed his whole life but he has one motive in maintaining the bountiful secret bookstore.
"I don't feel like 'Oh, I'm gonna do this and everyone can read all the books of forgotten others.' It's a losing battle, we've all lost. I just wanna do as much as I can," said Seidenberg.

Dear Kate,
I found you in "What's New". Very interesting recipes, comments on national food types... I was looking for more information about "nigella sativa" (charnushka, kalonji, black cumin) and found nothing.
Dear Cecil,
Nigella Sativa is confusingly called "black cumin" or "wild onion" but comes from an entirely different plant. Indian and Middle Eastern cooks typically sprinkle these black, peppery seeds on flatbreads. A bit larger than sesame seeds, nigella seeds look like charcoal chips with their five pointed edges and black matte finish.
Smelling the raw seeds won't tell you much: their flavors are released when heated. Their taste is said to somewhat resemble that of oregano, although much more distinctive, with a slight but pleasant bitterness that complements salads, breads and fish well. According to The Indian Spice Kitchen by Monisha Bharadwaj (Dutton, $29.95), the Bengali spice mixture panch phoron includes nigella as one of its five ingredients and is used to season lentils and vegetables. Look for nigella sativa in Indian markets.
The recipe below calls for "mooli," an Indian white radish. If you cannot find it, substitute the white Asian radish known as daikon instead.
Kate Heyhoe
serves 4
preparation time: 15 minutes
1 large Indian white radish (mooli), grated (10 ounces)
salt and pepper
2 tablespoons distilled vinegar
large pinch of sugar
2 tablespoons corn oil
1/2 teaspoon black mustard seeds
1/2 teaspoon nigella seeds
1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds
1. Mix the radish with the salt, pepper, vinegar and sugar.
2. Heat the oil in a small pan. When it is hot, drop in all the seeds. As soon as they finish crackling, pour the oil and the seeds onto the radish mixture. Mix lightly.
3. Serve at room temperature.

Brian Shaw, chief executive, said the deal would provide the group with the fund management expertise it would need to compete in the stakeholder pensions market. Glasgow-based Britannia Asset Management has a strong investment record and enjoys good relationships with the independent financial adviser (IFA) sector and the employee benefits consultants who play a crucial role in the awarding of pensions mandates.
At the same time, Britannic has entered into a tied distribution agreement with Britannia giving it exclusive access to the society's network of 180 branches and 120 financial advisers. "At a not huge cost, it has added to our strategic capability hugely," Mr Shaw said.
Britannic is paying pounds 150m for 75 per cent of Britannia Asset Management, including a pounds 30m clawback provision if revenue targets are not met. The BAM buy will be funded by a pounds 150m loan from NatWest bank. Britannic is buying Britannia's life insurance business for pounds 196m, funded from Britannic's life fund.
Mr Shaw said that the group, which has been linked repeatedly as a potential merger partner for United Assurance, would not rule out further deals in the life insurance sector.
Britannic plans to transfer its own investment business to BAM in Glasgow, which is being renamed Britannic Asset Management. Britannic shares rose 35p to close at 1,040p.

Minnesota Holds First School Bus Driver Appreciation Day
Gov. Mark Dayton proclaims Feb. 22 the state's first-ever School Bus Driver Appreciation Day.
Maintaining a full staff of school bus drivers can be a persistent problem in pupil transportation. "We never seem to have a glut of school bus drivers," says Tim Lash, transportation specialist and driver trainer at Kent (Wash.) School District.
Beyond simply finding applicants and hiring people to fill vacancies, transportation directors must also make extra efforts to keep drivers on staff, rather than going through the cycle of hiring and turnover that leaves operations critically understaffed.
"We try to pay decently, give enough hours and create a reasonable work environment," says Steven Lynch, transportation supervisor for Dearborn (Mich.) Public Schools. "Given significant budget limitations and contractual parameters, we struggle with each of these and consequently lose several staff every year."
Recruiting applicants
With some ingenuity, transportation directors can find creative ways to reach out to potential employees. In addition to advertising on local radio stations, in newspapers and on classified ad Websites, many administrators also develop recruitment methods tailored to their communities.
Vancouver (Wash.) School District has had success recruiting drivers through school newsletters, Transportation Director Joe Precourt says. "We get applicants who already know the schools and are connected to them," he explains. It costs less than advertising in the newspaper, and he gets more responses.
"Our best recruitment is conducted by our current employees," says Mike Simpson, director of transportation at Shelby County Schools in Arlington, Tenn. "If they are happy with their jobs and feel appreciated, they will spread the news to friends looking for a job."
At Calcasieu Parish School System in Lake Charles, La., Director of Transportation Andy Ardoin says he has found success advertising in the local news media as well as church bulletins. Some school districts hang a "Drivers Wanted" banner on the side of a school bus and park it near busy streets in their communities.
Lash says his district needs to hire 10 to 15 drivers for the next school year to compensate for retirements and some growth in the district. In order to fill open positions, he arranged for the transportation department to take part in the district's job fair this year. Lash attended, and a few of the school's current bus drivers helped recruit applicants at the transportation department's booth.
Lash also advertises open driver positions on the back side of the bus passes sent out to every school bus rider. "We ended up getting 15 or 20 responses from that," he says.
Before the interview
After a successful recruiting effort, transportation directors screen applications for the best candidates.
While some transportation departments will provide CDL training for new hires, others — like Bay City (Texas) Independent School District — won't interview a potential driver who doesn't already hold one. "If they show up with the CDL, I know they are truly interested in the job," Director of Transportation Ron Carroll says. He also requires candidates to pay for fingerprinting to prove their commitment to the position.
Simpson looks at the applicant's driving record. "If I see a number of citations or accidents on a motor vehicle record, that is a red flag," he explains. He also looks at applicants' work history for long-term relationships with previous employers.
Retirees, who may become bus drivers to supplement their income, are often reliable employees, according to several administrators. "What helps us is their well-established work ethic and good attendance patterns," says Steve Dickie, transportation department supervisor at Livonia (Mich.) Public Schools.
"Usually we hire from our pool of sub drivers that have a proven track record," says David Long, transportation coordinator for Taylor Community School Corp. in Kokomo, Ind. "Their driving records are readily available at our monthly area transportation meetings."
Assessment during the interview
Making sure potential bus drivers meet all the necessary criteria is not an easy task. Interviewers must be able to make subtle judgments of character and ability in a brief period of time. While some might stick to the more traditional questions, asking about the applicant's work history and why he or she wants to be a driver, others want to give the potential employee a taste of what it's like on the job.
Augusta (Ga.) Public Schools Transportation Supervisor Robert Sutton likes to give examples of incidents that could occur on the bus and ask what the applicant's response would be. He also tells the applicant the school's mission statement — student achievement is No. 1 — and asks how the applicant, as a bus driver, would contribute to this mission. "This puts the applicant in a bit of a stressful situation and gives me a chance to observe how he or she reacts," Sutton explains.
Things are done differently at Bensalem (Pa.) Township School District, where all applicants are brought in for a group interview. Available positions, salary and benefits are explained, Transportation Coordinator Grace Yaeger says, and she looks for cleanliness and prompt arrival for the interview, among other qualities.
Joe Precourt says that his operation looks "first and foremost at people who seem to like kids, people with good common sense. They are most likely to be able to think independently when a problem arises and they can't get hold of us on the radio." He also sees value in those who are open to training and won't take criticism personally.
At Shelby County, Simpson asks candidates if they've worked with children as a scout leader, athletics coach or Sunday school teacher, for example.
For KayAnne Hulsey, director of transportation at Lakeview Academy in Gainesville, Ga., school bus drivers must be capable communicators, as they interact with parents, faculty and staff on a daily basis. "Maintaining a professional and respectful relationship with the students, teachers and parents is also crucial," Hulsey says.
Lash emphasizes that drivers must be safety-minded and able to handle any situation that could arise on the bus. "We're looking for people who are assertive yet calm — someone who's not intimidated by the size of the bus or the large groups of children," he says.
Dearborn's Lynch contends that even the best applicant screening methods are not the truest test of an employee's strengths. "The best way is to get them on the job and see how they work out," he says. "I look for a confident, enthusiastic and well-spoken individual who asks good questions and just plain wants to work."
Retaining good employees
Most school districts hold appreciation events of some kind for transportation staff. Ron Carroll holds four dinners at the transportation office during the year and treats his staff to a fish fry at the end of the school year. "I do all the cooking," he says.
At Cherokee County School District in Canton, Ga., Transportation Director Gene Thomason invites drivers with perfect attendance to an annual luncheon, where a drawing is held to determine which driver will be assigned a new bus for the next year. "Each driver attending the luncheon chooses the key he or she thinks will start the new bus," Thomason says. "The drivers take turns to see whose key is the correct one, generating excitement and anticipation." He also recognizes exemplary drivers and attendants with monogrammed jackets, which he says have become highly coveted status symbols within the department.
Although difficult for some districts, those that offer competitive salaries as well as health and retirement benefits often have an easier time recruiting and retaining school bus drivers.
Jim Saxon, manager of transportation at Arlington (Texas) Independent School District, says that these topics are routinely discussed at the transportation department's weekly staff meetings. Currently, the district guarantees drivers six hours a day, while most others in the surrounding area only offer four or five. "And even though they're at-will, part-time employees, we give them full-time benefits," Saxon says. His department is also considering stretching drivers' 180 days of pay over 12 months to provide a steady flow of income throughout the calendar year.
Offering bonuses can be another effective way to reward drivers and retain those employees who are performing well. Arlington's bus drivers receive a $50 bonus for every month without absences or accidents, Saxon says.
At Cherokee County, school bus drivers can attend classes offered through the district's training department, including instruction in CPR, first aid and student management. By completing classes, Thomason says, drivers can attain "Master Driver" status, earning a certificate and a 25-percent increase in pay.
Lastly, many administrators develop policies that help to create a positive work environment. Drivers for Augusta Public Schools are allowed to bring their children on the bus during routes and activity trips so that they can avoid spending a significant portion of their paycheck on child care, Sutton says.
Carroll says he makes fair and equal treatment of all employees a priority. "I play no favorites," he says. "My decisions running the transportation department are always based on what's best for the department, not the person."
Rather than hiring extra drivers to do sport and activity trips, Transportation Manager Gretchen Biancone-Groff says that at East Brunswick (N.J.) Public Schools, all runs and trips are assigned based on seniority. A seniority system is also in place at Bensalem Township, says Grace Yaeger, who adds that her senior drivers help to create a welcoming and supportive atmosphere for new drivers, who start as substitutes and may not get as many runs early on.
Lash refers to each driver's route as a franchise. Drivers take ownership of their franchises, ensuring smooth operation and gaining a sense of pride in their work. "When they catch that vision, then they're more in tune to want to do this job — 'These are my kids; I'm going to make sure they get to school and make sure they're safe. I'm going to do my best.'"
"I make it a point to be there for my staff. I am here when they leave for the morning and here when they return at the end of the day."
John Clark, transportation supervisor
Tumwater (Wash.) School District
"I feel that drivers stay because we try to make them feel that they have a stake in the operation. They are full shareholders and our success and reputation is largely theirs."
Steve Dickie, transportation department supervisor
Livonia (Mich.) Public Schools
"I spend a lot of time overall creating a good working atmosphere in our facility. I always thank my drivers for the job they do, almost on a daily basis."
Ron Carroll, director of transportation
Bay City (Texas) Independent School District
"Our best efforts to keep them busy with sub-driving and extra trips usually create a loyalty to our school."
David A. Long, transportation coordinator
Taylor Community School Corp., Kokomo, Ind.
"People tend to respond to responsibility. Don't take the job of school bus driving out of their hands, so that they can be the person on the bus that has the authority to manage the bus, communicate with the children and talk with the parents."
Tim Lash, transportation specialist/driver trainer
Kent (Wash.) School District
"More than anything else, treat all employees with respect, treat them as having value, listen to their input and try to implement their ideas when possible and practical."
Joe Precourt, transportation director
Vancouver (Wash.) School District

A keen-eyed reader managed to snag a few photos of what looks to be the upcoming Volvo XC40 ahead of the vehicle's debut at the Paris Motor Show. Like most manufacturers, Volvo is keen to offer buyers the small crossovers they demand. With a taller ride height, more ground clearance and a more aggressive front fascia than the V40, the XC40 should do just that.

The fourth album from Bill Withers and an overlooked gem recorded for Sussex – and a great bit of funky soulful stuff in the best Withers tradition – a record that's sadly kind of withered in relative obscurity for far too many years! The soul in Withers voice is in as fine of form as ever on this set, and for us, this has earned its steadily growing reputation as his lost masterpiece. The material has a conversational, wise and world weary tone that's brilliantly effective and more intimate than Bill's bigger hits of the day – and the arrangements are more centered around soulful and lightly funky keys than the more acoustic guitar driven rhythms that got him more radio play on earlier hits. There's also some subtly innovative parts to the production that are really moving, from the harp accented piano on "Stories" and the funky percussion flavored rambler of a closing number "Railroad Man". Other tracks include You", "The Same Love That Made Me Laugh", "Heartbreak Road", "Green Grass", "Ruby Lee", "Can We Pretend", "Liza" and "Make A Smile For Me". (Includes the printed inner sleeve. Cover has edge wear and some flaking on one corner.) © 1996-2017, Dusty Groove, Inc.
If something is noteworthy, we try to note it in the comments — especially if it is an oddity that is the only wrong thing about the record. This might include, but isn't limited to, warped records, tracks that skip, cover damage or wear as noted above, or strictly cosmetic flaws.

Romney Camp Bets On Welfare Attack
Their most powerful weapon, a top aide says. "We're not going to let our campaign be dictated by fact checkers," says Newhouse.
Mitt Romney's aides explained with unusual political bluntness today why they are spending heavily — and ignoring media criticism — to air an add accusing President Barack Obama of "gutting" the work requirement for welfare, a marginal political issue since the mid-1990s that Romney pushed back to center stage.
"Our most effective ad is our welfare ad," a top television advertising strategist for Romney, Ashley O'Connor, said at a forum Tuesday hosted by ABCNews and Yahoo! News. "It's new information."
The welfare ad has been the center of intense dispute, with Democrats accusing Romney of unearthing old racial ghosts and Romney pointing out that the Obama Administration has offered states waivers that could, in fact, lighten work requirements in welfare, a central issue in Bill Clinton's 1996 revamping of public assistance.
The Washington Post's "Fact Checker" awarded Romney's ad "four Pinocchios," a measure Romney pollster Neil Newhouse dismissed.
"Fact checkers come to this with their own sets of thoughts and beliefs, and we're not going to let our campaign be dictated by fact checkers," he said. The fact-checkers — whose institutional rise has been a feature of the cycle — have "jumped the shark," he added after the panel.
Romney's aides have brushed off suggestions the welfare fight has a racial edge.
His longtime spokesman, Eric Fehrnstrom, said it was simply a policy fight: "We're having an argument about welfare reform," he said, noting that Obama's administration had chosen to offer the waivers, and that the Administration had overstated the roles of Republican governors in seeking alternatives to the work requirement.
The election, Fehrnstrom said, "will be a referendum on the president's handling of the economy."
- President Trump laid out an ambitious agenda in his speech to Congress, but Republicans are still divided on how to pass that agenda.
- The FBI is investigating if bomb threats against Jewish centers came from an internet "troll" and are profiling a lone, young, tech-savvy person.
- Facebook is using artificial intelligence for suicide prevention, scanning feeds for signs of people at risk of self-harm, then offering resources for help.
- Uber's CEO said he's "seeking leadership help" after dash-cam footage was published of him aggressively arguing with a company driver 😳
