CRESTVIEW � The search for Crestview High School�s next head football and athletic director is in the stretch run.
If all goes as planned, the search committee, headed by assistant principal Dexter Day, hopes to have a candidate to present to the school board at its March 11 meeting.
Finalists for the job
"We've got the list narrowed down to the finest who are the finalists," Day said. "We've got nine who are the finalists.
"What we are trying to do is to hit the deadline and get it OK�d to go before the school board for the March 11th meeting."
Finalists are:
�Mike Bennett, head coach at Pensacola High School
�Michael Coe, Madison County head coach
�Thomas Grant, Crestview offensive coordinator
�Tim Hatten, former Pearl River Miss., Community College coach
�Scott Klees, Wakulla head coach
�Ernie Martin, Crestview assistant football coach and head track coach
�Chris Metzger, Pine Hurst, N.C. head coach
�Anthony Patten, Crestview freshman/junior varsity head coach
�Robert Ramsay, Yulee High School head coach.
"Believe this: We have extensively checked into these people and went two to three years back to where they've been," Day said. "We talked to people in the community and talked to people in the Chamber of Commerce, in the school, the secretaries, the players and all that. We have done a deep background search on a lot of people, and that's why some people got eliminated and some people didn't.
"I just praise our committee for the extensive work they've done in putting the time and effort into this."
Interviewing for the nine finalists started Friday with Grant and Martin meeting with the committee. Bennett, Hatten, Klees and Patten will interview Sunday. The committee was still trying to arrange times for Metzger, Coe and Ramsay to come in sometime next week, Day said.
The committee has a list of six to eight questions the finalists will be asked. The questions deal with everything from promoting athletes from all Crestview sports for recruiting to discipline and budget issues.
Deadline approaches
Committee members want the search to end next week, but they don't feel pressured to meet the deadline for the March 11 school board meeting, Day said.
"Those that do know me know I'm going to find a person that's going to come in here and work," Day said. "And I expect it. I'm going to hold them to a high standard, just like I hold myself to a high standard of work ethic.
"It doesn't matter how long it takes to get the job done. We are all servants and we are serving this community and these kids to get them where they need to be."
Day praised the efforts of Crestview assistant coaches Chris Sweatt, who has become interim head coach, and Andrew Black for their work with the team as the transition process continues.
However, he said he hopes that the new athletic director can be on the job as soon as possible.

HTC has posted a new UAProf (User Agent Profile) file which confirms a few details regarding the upcoming HTC One mini. The file refers to the device as the "HTC One mini" and lists a 1280×720 display resolution along with a reference to Android 4.2. UAProf files are used to describes the capabilities of a device, including manufacturer details, model name or number, display resolution and multimedia capabilities.
It's unclear how long the UAProf has been published, but it's always reassuring to see official information from HTC which aligns perfectly with the leaks we have seen over the past few months. HTC One mini rumors suggest the device will be made available during the third quarter of this year, but we still no clue if it will be launching on any service providers here in the US.

Hasn't been decided whether Beyond will be ported to PS4.
By Wesley Yin-Poole
Pre-production on Quantic Dream's mystery - but confirmed - PlayStation 4 game began in the middle of 2012.
Vice president Guillaume de Fondaumière told Eurogamer in an interview today at the Digital Dragons event in Poland that the developer, which made PlayStation 3 exclusives Heavy Rain and the upcoming Beyond, was one of the first studios in the world to receive a PlayStation 4 development kit from Sony.
"We received PS4 development kits - at the beginning it's specs then it becomes early kits - very early on," he said. "We were among the first studios in the world to receive those kits."
Nice that a non-Sony owned company was with the first. They should just get a room already.
I want this game, even without anything to go by. I'm that of a QD fan!
"Following mixed messages, we asked the Quantic Dream executive whether the game would be released for Sony's next-gen console.
"That's not been decided yet," he replied."
This would be amazing! Even if the game doesn't look that much better or take advantage of the ps4 tech. The game comes out so late, and I know I'll be selling my ps3 to help pay for the ps4 and games.
Man! im really excited for this game and good to see that Heavy Rain financially did really good for Sony. Good financials means more work and great ips from this company!!!!!

Va. House Advances 'Personhood' Bill, Rejects Amendment to Ultrasound Measure
February 14, 2012 — The Virginia House of Delegates on Monday gave preliminary approval to a bill (HB 1) that would define fertilized eggs as people, the Washington Post's "Virginia Politics" reports (Kumar, "Virginia Politics," Washington Post, 2/13).
Democrats argued that the bill introduced by Del. Bob Marshall (R) would effectively outlaw abortion, as well as types of contraception that could prevent implantation of a fertilized egg. "The way that this bill is written is so broad that we're one step closer if we pass this to overruling Roe v. Wade," Del. Charniele Herring (D) said, adding that it "has implications on the right to privacy and on birth control" (Hester/Meola, Richmond Times-Dispatch, 2/14).
Marshall disputed those claims, saying the bill "does not have the [effect] of criminalizing birth control" and "does not directly affect abortion."
Last year, similar legislation passed in the House but was stopped in the Senate, which was controlled by the Democrats at the time. Supporters of the current measure hope the now GOP-controlled Senate will approve it this year. A final vote in the House is expected on Tuesday ("Virginia Politics," Washington Post, 2/13).
Ultrasound Bill Considered
The House on Tuesday also is expected to vote on a bill (HB 462) that would require a woman seeking abortion care to undergo an ultrasound and be given an opportunity to view and receive a copy of the image. The bill does not specify which type of ultrasound is required, which prompted Del. David Englin (D) to propose an amendment that would require a woman to give consent before undergoing a vaginal ultrasound.
"Most of us, when we think about an ultrasound, we think about what people refer to as the jelly on the belly ultrasound," Englin said, noting that sometimes vaginal ultrasounds are used early in pregnancy (Richmond Times-Dispatch, 2/14).
The amendment, which was rejected on a 64-34 vote, would have allowed health care providers to determine whether the image could be obtained without a vaginal ultrasound (AP/Washington Post, 2/13).
Va. Gov. McDonnell To Sign Breast Density Bill
In other Virginia news, Gov. Bob McDonnell (R) said he intends to sign legislation that would require radiologists to include information about breast density in post-mammogram letters to patients, the Washington Post reports. Both chambers of the General Assembly approved the legislation in unanimous votes earlier in the session.
Women with dense breast tissue might require additional screenings beyond mammograms because the tissue can make tumors difficult to spot. An earlier version of the legislation met resistance from radiologists in the state, who said women could be alarmed and seek unnecessary and expensive tests. The language was changed in the final measures to alert women that dense breast tissue "can hide cancer or other abnormalities" and to suggest that they contact their physician if they have questions (Vozzella, Washington Post, 2/13).

Geometric Sheath Dress in Charcoal
Added Dec 12, 2011
By burdastyle
New York, New Yo...
This week BurdaStyle Sewing Handbook contributor and prolific member squirrellypoo shares with us her take on our '80s-centric geometric sheath dress.
In her words: I loved this sheath dress the second I saw it, and I didn't need much persuasion to see it'd be the perfect double-duty holiday dress – it'd work equally well for both my husband's fancy birthday dinner and any Christmas parties.
On second thought: Though on reflection, it might be a bit too sexy for my office party!
On fitting the pattern: As this was a close fitting sheath with a non-stretch fabric, I opted to go right ahead and make the only fitting alteration I ever make with Burda patterns, and even then it's only occasionally – I removed 2cm above the waist line across all the vertical panels so the waist of the dress is more in line with my own.
On stylistic changes: The only style alteration I made was to alter the sleeve length to be full length rather than bracelet length. To do this was a serious no-brainer – I just laid a regular Burda full-length sleeve underneath this one (Lydia is my go-to!), matching up the underarms, and marked the new length. Then I just extended the sleeve seams down to the line. Done!
On full busted garments: If you usually require an FBA (Full Bust Adjustment), it'd be super easy to do one on this pattern – the little "wings" attach onto a glorified princess seam, so you just need to cut those off your pattern on the marked lining line, do your FBA, and then reattach them when you're done. That being said, this is a low cut, very close fitting dress, so if either of those descriptions make you nervous, you can a) make a taller inset triangle piece to raise the neckline and/or b) go up one size in the skirt pieces or use a stretch woven fabric.
Make sure to visit Fehr Trade for more!
Material Notes
Fabric details: Charcoal gray, ex-designer (sorry, I can't tell you who!) 68% poly/29% viscose/3% elastane (though I swear it's non-stretch!) flannel that just feels so soft and wonderful! I've lined the bodice with turquoise Bemberg lining fabric for a lovely pop of colour.
Wool crpe, 140 cm (55 in) wide: 1.85 – 1.85 – 1.90 – 1.90 – 1.90 m (2 1/8 yds). Lining for bodice, 140 cm (55 in) wide: 0.45 m (5/8 yd) for all sizes. 1 invisible zip, 40 cm (16 ins) long

I loved this dress also when i saw it. I am making it now for christmas and its almost finishes. I choosed a black strech fabric. I didnt like the sleeves couse they were to wide for me, what looked a bit shabby on me. So i made it with short sleeves, used from another pattern (THE black dress from december i think). Maybe i will place a picture when its finished.

Thanks!! The fabric is a poly/viscose blend flannel that was given to me by a friend from when she used to work in the industry. It was leftover yardage from a designer's collection, but I can't say who. ;)

Oh hey, you too? Mine finally got used to seeing me dress up so I no longer get the "What, do you have an interview or something?".
Dec 14, 2011, 01.10 PMby anajan
Hey Melissa, I work in the IT industry too, and for a long time I was the ONLY girl in the office. It didn't stop me from dressing feminine. I think it's just the matter of habit. The guys got used to seeing me nicely dressed, and I think they're now confused when I come to work wearing a pair of jeans and a tee shirt. :)
Dec 12, 2011, 06.59 PMby anajan
It's really wawoom! I like how the dress accentuates body curves, making soft, yet sexy silhouette. I agree with nerja2007 – it's not vulgar at all, so feel free to wear it for the office party. After seeing your version, I will definitely try out the pattern.
Dec 12, 2011, 05.53 PMby Sewing And Style
I love Melissa's blog and always follow her new adventures in dressmaking. This one looks great! Just as I would have expected! Office party- now that's a great idea, maybe I will make one like that for my work xmas do… There is nothing vulgar about this dress, so don't hesitate!

Guidelines for Posture
- On a comfortable, firm cushion or chair – sit with the spine upright, with its natural curves allowing the pelvis to rock forward a bit. If on a chair, place your feet flat on the floor. If on a cushion, cross your lets, resting one foot on top of the opposite thigh, the other foot under the other thigh – yogi style.
- The back of the neck is relaxed, allowing the chin to come down and inward. The face and jaw are natural and relaxed. Lips should be slightly parted and tongue resting against the upper palate.
- The arms and shoulders are relaxed. Let the body be warm and heavy.
- The hands rest on the thighs or in the lap.
- The gaze is forward and slightly down with a soft focus, directed approximately one body length in front of you. Or you can do mindful meditation with the eyes closed.
- The chest/heart area is open. The abdomen is relaxed.
- Take three breaths from the diaphragm.
- Rock slightly in all directions to find your center of gravity and balance.
Guidelines of Attention
- The point of meditation is not to blank out the mind or empty it of thoughts. Rather it is to develop the qualities of attention, appreciation and kindness through mindful, non-judgmental moment-to-moment awareness.
- Make a clear and precise beginning to your practice: Ring a bell, say a short prayer or aspiration.
- Notice whatever sensations are present in your body: The pressure where your feet or legs touch the floor or cushion, the sensations of your hands touching each other or your legs, the feel of your clothes. If you notice any obvious tension in the body, see if it's possible to soften and release it.
- Open your attention to any sounds that may be present. Just notice the sound and the process of hearing without needing to "name" the sound or figure out what is creating it. Notice that sounds arise, are heard, and pass away without any effort on your part; they are just part of a constantly changing flow of experience.
- Take a few deep breaths again and notice where you experience the sensations of breathing: It may be in the flow of air in and out of the nostrils, or in the rise and fall of the chest or the abdomen. Then let your breath be from the diaphragm and feel the sensations of your diaphragm breathing. Release into each breath as you noticing how the soft sensations of breathing come and go.
- After a few breaths, your mind will wander. When you notice this, no matter how long or short a time the mind has been away, simply come back to the next breath. Or, before returning to the breath, you may softly and silently "name" where your attention has been – hearing, planning, itching – and then directly return to feel the next breath. It may help your concentration to silently, gently count the breaths. Count "one" on the first exhalation, "two" on the second exhalation until you reach ten breaths, and then begin again with "one."
- When feelings of restlessness, pain or boredom arise, accept them, breathe into them and return to the meditation as you would any other thought process.
- When ending the meditation, end with an out breath and dissolve your awareness into the space you are in.
- Say to yourself – "That was good."
Post-Meditation Practice
The idea of "holding our seat," or being mindful continues throughout our daily lives. We maintain our dignity and humor with the same lightness of touch we use dealing with our thoughts. Holding our seat doesn't mean we are stiff, trying to become like rocks; the whole idea is learning to be flexible. The way we deal with ourselves and our thoughts is the same way we deal with the world.
When we begin to meditate, the first thing we realize is how wild our mind is, how wild our life is. But once we begin to have the quality of being tamed, when we can sit with ourselves, we realize there's a vast wealth of possibility in front of us. Meditation is accepting who and what we really are; we find the richness of what already exists. Discovering that richness is a moment-to-moment process and as we continue to practice, our awareness becomes more precise, spacious and accommodating.
Reflect that "My mind is as spacious as the sky and my activity is a fine as flour."
This mindfulness actually envelops our whole life. It is the best way to appreciate our world, to appreciate the sacredness of everything. We add mindfulness and all of a sudden, the whole situation becomes alive. This practice soaks into everything that we do; there's nothing left out. We become in touch with our actual lived experience.

1. Re: Flash too fastnocturnal YL May 8, 2012 8:46 PM (in response to xjcamaro89)
Sounds to me that the problem isn't about the Flash animation. It should be something wrong with your computer instead.
2. Re: Flash too fastsinious May 8, 2012 9:53 PM (in response to nocturnal YL)
Remember, Internet Explorer uses a completely different flash (activeX) plugin then every other browser. Try hitting up adobe.com in IE9 and grabbing the latest player.
3. Re: Flash too fastxjcamaro89 May 9, 2012 5:04 AM (in response to sinious)
Thats what i figured but it just seemed weird that it worked one day then later that day it started acting up. Ive downloaded the new flash player and installed it several times. Im not sure what the deal is. I dont have anything "wrong" with my computer. I behind a corporate firewall, running a brand new (1 week old) win 7 laptop, and the latest Norton Corporate antivirus.
4. Re: Flash too fastsinious May 9, 2012 7:43 AM (in response to xjcamaro89)
Disable Norton for a sec and try the site. Perhaps when Norton sees the activeX being instantiated it quickly scans it.
Otherwise there's a Adobe Flash Player Uninstaller here:
Should get rid of any gremlins that might be plaguing IE's flash plugin.
5. Re: Flash too fastxjcamaro89 May 9, 2012 8:18 AM (in response to sinious)
I actually completely unistalled norton just to try it, still the same fast effect. I then used that flash unistaller and reinstalled, still the same.
6. Re: Flash too fastsinious May 9, 2012 9:59 AM (in response to xjcamaro89)
I'm in Win7 Pro 64bit using IE 9.0.8112.16421 with flash 18.104.22.168, realized it was a version increment old and updated to 188.8.131.52.. It runs absolutely identical in Firefox, Chrome, IE, Safari, Opera.
I think it's just your system. BTW you might want to increase the frame rate to like 30 and make the truck animation move smoother. You'll need to add more frames to slow it back down but it looks like you're running it at 12fps and basically blinks across the screen.
7. Re: Flash too fastxjcamaro89 May 10, 2012 5:00 AM (in response to sinious)
Thats weird because everyone else in our office that i have hit that test page gets the same results, when they are running win 7, ie9. I wondering if its something with our network, like something in the firewall, im going to try with my aircard and check it out.
So i just accessed the internet with my aircard, completely seperate from our corporate network. The truck still flys across the screen way tooo fast. But again, if i open it in firefox it runs normal like it should. Im out of ideas. Im going to try recreating it from scratch nd see if i messed something up in the file.
8. Re: Flash too fastsinious May 10, 2012 7:05 AM (in response to xjcamaro89)
Just a quick proof, this is recorded (only at 15fps) showing the animation on my side in Chrome and IE9. I show you the versions in the video.
The delay between them is obviously me alt+tabbing to the other browser and refreshing but you get the idea.. They look identical. I think the problem is on your side.
That's on a 3 year old dual quad xeon with an old radeon HD 4870. Your laptop is probably faster..
9. Re: Flash too fastxjcamaro89 May 10, 2012 7:20 AM (in response to sinious)
Ya, it looks fine there. Here is a shot of what i see, the truck flys across the screen.
This is what everyone on our network running win7 ie9 sees, but if i run firefox its fine, or vista and ie9 is fine. I also get the same result when i use my verizon aircard to connect to the internet.
I guess if i know its fine on computers outside of here then i wont worry about it, it just seems weird that the day i created it, it worked just like you see it in the morning and then in the afternoon it started running crazy.
10. Re: Flash too fastsinious May 10, 2012 7:29 AM (in response to xjcamaro89)
Same speed out here on 6 different rigs in 2 locations all of varying hardware and age. I wouldn't worry about it, although it would bother me too . I'd look for any system outside your network just to verify it looks fine. I definitely see in your video what you're talking about though. Looks like flash is trying to catch up with soemthing, but I don't see why a firewall would do that.
Easiest thing to do is make a new animation of a shape animating across the screen over a few seconds and see if the issue repeats. If it does, don't worry about it. It's something on your network or local computers. If you put up a public link to that test I'll be happy to verify it works.

Thanks, Its just bugs me. Here is a kicker though, when i do publish preview in HTML, it opens in IE9 and plays perfect! hahaha! Could there be something on my webserver? i use yahoo.
12. Re: Flash too fastsinious May 10, 2012 8:20 AM (in response to xjcamaro89)
I would try making the small animation like I said. Just draw a circle, convert to a movieclip, animate it over a few seconds just moving like the truck does, export and upload. It should be like a 5k SWF file, certainly not hard to load. If it plays smooth, something is intercepting the larger SWF.
And yes, it's a good indication the network is involved if locally it plays fine. Are you preloading? Even on small SWFs you should always preload and never begin animating until it's all loaded.
13. Re: Flash too fastxjcamaro89 May 10, 2012 8:28 AM (in response to sinious)
I am not preloading, im failry new to flash and have not got that far yet, i did wonder about preloading though. But couldnt really figure it out. whats a easy way to do it?
14. Re: Flash too fastsinious May 10, 2012 11:15 AM (in response to xjcamaro89)
It's what you'd call a stub. It's a tiny file who's sole job is to load other larger assets and provide some kind of assets so the user gets instant feedback.
Before getting into any of the progress/visuals/etc part of it just make a new AS3 document and on frame 1 of the timeline put this:
import flash.display.Loader;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();
myLoader.load(new URLRequest("filename.swf")); // change to your SWFs filename
This won't show any progress or do anything other than not show anything until the SWF is finished loading. You put this SWF in the same folder with your other SWF (change filename.swf as needed). If it helps then you have an odd preloading issue in IE.
Now on your webpage instead of loading filename.swf you load this new SWF instead, which will in turn preload and then display your other SWF only when it's fully loaded.
15. Re: Flash too fastxjcamaro89 May 10, 2012 11:25 AM (in response to sinious)
When you say AS3 you mean auction script right, my flash is in action script 2, cause im running flash MX.
So i would make this file, and i can call is "loader.swf" if i wanted and instead of placing the actual flash movie in the webpage in dreamweaver, place the "loader.swf" file in its place and it will pre load and then play it?

Oy.. AS2? MX? Ouch. Ummm...
It's been a while but at least you can do this without needing a separate file. You'll need 2 empty frames for this dinosaur loading technique. Again I'm going to go with the simple, no progress showing route but, on the first frame of your document try this (if I remember AS2 hehe):
on frame 1:
on frame 2:
if (_framesloaded < _totalframes) { gotoAndPlay(1); }
That'll just sit there and tennis ball between frame 1 and frame 2 until all frames are loaded. Here's the as2 doc page on it with basically the same example (but shows percentage too):
The simple idea is that the script will prevent the playhead from passing frame 2 until all frames have been loaded. If they're not it tells it to gotoAndPlay(1);.
17. Re: Flash too fastxjcamaro89 May 15, 2012 5:55 AM (in response to sinious)
Hey sorry it took so long to get back to you, that loader worked! I added those two frames and put that code in and uploaded it to the server and it worked! Thanks alot, i knew it had to be something that could be fixed easily. Thank you Thank you Thank you!

when doing a flash like this, the way i created it was just with a bunch of layers, i didnt create any movie buttons. I really couldnt figure out how to go about it the right way, so i basically have a layer for each object you see on that screen. There isnt any user interaction its just for looks. Is that ok, or should i be doing it a different way. I played around with placing each image on the stage and converting it to a movie clip and then making the tweens within the movie clip, but i couldnt get the thing to run. I guess i really didnt know how to call upon each movie clip in order.
20. Re: Flash too fastsinious May 15, 2012 1:51 PM (in response to xjcamaro89)1 person found this helpful
Keeping things on separate layers is perfectly fine. Preloading is an extremely common thing in Flash. I'm sure you've seen more than your share of preloaders that fill a progress bar or mention a loading percent. In your case I don't believe you need to do that because it is a very small file. Making sure it's loaded before it plays, like that script will do, will just make it perfect. I'd leave it just how it is.
In the future, definitely check out AS3. Things get much smoother and overall it's much easier to work with.
21. Re: Flash too fastxjcamaro89 May 16, 2012 4:35 AM (in response to sinious)
Great! Thank you so much. I will definately check out AS3. I just happened to have a old Macromedia Studio MX laying around and i thought i would give it a whirl and try some flash. If it becomes a regular program im start using i will definately think about a upgrade!
22. Re: Flash too fastsinious May 16, 2012 5:37 AM (in response to xjcamaro89)
You're welcome and good luck!

Forget Christmas -- the city of Las Vegas has one special wish that can only come true today, on December 12, 2012. See, Sin City, which is well-known for its quickie weddings, has been suffering something of a "love recession." Seriously -- apparently, their share of the weddings business has fallen by a third since 2004 while other cities like New Orleans and NYC have picked up a piece of the pie. Aww, bummer for Vegas! But they're hoping that couples are going to be so psyched to have their wedding license stamped with the once-in-a-century date of 12-12-12 that biz will pick up today.
While I'm a fan of Vegas and hope the gambling capitol's dream comes true, I gotta say I just don't get the fascination with dates like 12-12-12 or 11-11-11 for "I do"s. Okay, so it's a repeating number. So what? Here, 7 more legit ways to pick an auspicious or meaningful wedding date ...
- Pick the one-year anniversary of your engagement date. That way you'll always be able to celebrate both!
- Pick your dating anniversary. So you don't have to ditch that one altogether. (Especially good for couples who have been together -- and celebrating the same anniversary! -- for 5+ years.)
- Consider your (happily married) parents' or grandparents' wedding date. Nothing like choosing a date that pays tribute to loved ones.
- Think about price. Your favorite venue may be much less costly if you pick a Sunday afternoon over a Saturday night or a February date over a June one.
- Think about theme. Maybe winter wonderland-themed New Year's Eve nuptials suit you and your honey best ... or you've always had a thing for April Fools' Day.
- See if your culture has a traditional way of choosing an auspicious date. For instance, Japanese families use the koyomi, an ancient astrological calendar, to pick the best day, while ancient Greeks divined pig entrails! Really!
- Consult an astrologer. I confess: This is what I did. Some might roll their eyes at this, and that's fine! But when guests' delayed flights cause them to miss your Mercury retrograde wedding or Uncle Ted and Cousin Jack get into an all-out brawl during your wonky full moon nuptials, don't come cryin' to me! Plus, a wedding is the birth of your marriage, so the astrological effects are much farther-reaching than the wedding day itself ...
How did you choose your wedding date?

Uber, a company that lets people request private car service in select cities, is trying to appeal to a less-affluent customers by using non-luxury, hybrid vehicles, according to a new report.
According to Uber, which spoke with The New York Times in a story published yesterday, the hybrid service will kick off in San Francisco and New York on Wednesday. The cars will cost customers 10 percent to 25 percent more than a standard taxi fare between two locations. According to the Times, its premium service typically costs customers between 40 percent and 100 percent more.
Uber is one of the many startups in San Francisco trying to connect the mobile and offline worlds. The company lets customers in cities where its service is available request a car from their iPhone or Android-based smartphone. Those using other platforms can send an SMS to Uber to request a car. From there, a driver who is part of Uber's network picks the person up in a luxury car. All payments are automatically charged to a credit card.
Uber caught the attention of venture capitalists back in December, raising $32 million in a funding round led by Menlo Ventures. Bezos Expeditions and Goldman Sachs also participated in the round. The funding was announced in tandem with news that the company had launched its service in Paris.
With cheaper car support now on its way, Uber can open itself up "to the masses," Uber CEO Travis Kalanick told the Times yesterday. Not appealing to the mainstream has proven an issue for Uber, which needs wider customer support in order to grow. Until now, the service has largely been reserved for those who both know about it and have the cash to spend on private car service.
So, why hybrids? According to the Times, it's all about cost-savings. Hybrids, of course, cost less to fuel, so the savings can be passed on to customers.

ASUS ENGT430 Review
Not everyone has an up-to-date, flavor of the week gaming rig. In fact, when you compare the amount of gaming rigs to those used on a daily basis for surfing the web, editing or viewing digital content (be it photos or video, etc), the more pedestrian machines outnumber the gaming rigs by more than a two to one ratio. So what that means is as a company, you go where the fish are and with the right bait to entice the fish to bite. A larger pool means more bites. Seems simple, right? NVIDIA must think so as it has now adapted their Fermi architecture to start filling all the price and performance points that ATI has previously filled with their latest DX 11 capable cards. NVIDIA has worked from the top down with their GF 100, GF 104, GF 106 and now their GF 108 GPU's. This latest revision is meant to tackle the Digital Media PC and HTPC markets that fill up a significant portion of the discrete GPU market. The GF 108 based GT430 is the card that is meant to fulfill this purpose in NVIDIA's product stack and is the replacement for the GT220. The GT430 is built using the same 40nm build process and comes with a single GPC, two Streaming Multi processors (SMs), two frame buffer partitions (FBs) and one half ROP partition (four ROP units). The 1GB of GDDR3 memory interface runs through dual 64bit memory controllers. Now as a card destined for the HTPC market, you have to wonder just what it will do in the casual gaming arena as well as how it handles the latest Blu-ray or high definition media content. Things we shall find out after testing this example from ASUS. The ENGT430 from ASUS is a non-reference design that incorporates ASUS's latest design features to deliver a card that runs cooler and lasts longer. Let's see just how much of an increase in performance we get from this card and compare that performance to that of its predecessor and also offerings from ATI.
Closer Look:
When this package arrived, I knew it would be on the small size but did not realize just how small it would be! This card from ASUS comes in a box that is similar in size to the box of the card it is replacing (NVIDIA's GT220). The front panel has a picture that looks like something right out of the works of Frank Frazzetta with a warrior on his trusty mount. Prominently featured is a picture of the fan used on the ENGT430. This fan is a dust proof design that ASUS illustrates as improving the fan's lifespan by 25%. As we all know, having the fan fail is a recipe for disaster on cards not equipped with massive passive heatsinks. Along the bottom, you have the name of the this Fermi based card as well as descriptions about the amount and type of Vram, the full DirectX 11 support and both a standard and low profile bracket to allow use in a low profile HTPC chassis. The back side of this package lists the minimum system specs in text small enough that even with glasses I had a hard time reading it! Again, the dust proof fan is mentioned with its benefits of extended card life, "Fuse Protection" that offers twice the over current protection and "GPU Guard" that increases structural rigidity to keep the GF 108 core from cracking.
Pop the lid on the box and you are greeted with the ENGT430 from ASUS inside a static free bag. Underneath, you get the accessory bundle that consists of the low profile brackets, manual and driver disk. A slim set of accessories for sure, but with the on-board connectivity, consideration for the target market and the desired price point, this is to be expected.
Let's dig into this little gem and see what it has under the hood.

The captivating nature documentary follows McGrain and his brother-in-law, Andy, as they embark on a road trip in search of the last-known locations of the birds and seek permission to install McGrain's six-foot-tall bronze sculptures on those sites. Travelling from the tropical swamps of Florida to the rocky coasts of Newfoundland to the shores of Martha's Vineyard, the men spend more than two years scouting locations, talking to park rangers, speaking at town meetings and battling bureaucracy in their effort to gather support for the project.G

Manufacturing / Production Recruitment Agencies Directory
The manufacturing industry accounts for more than 12% of the gross domestic product in the UK and produces well over half of her exports. The industry also provides employment for about 2.5 million people, who work in a diversity of production roles throughout the UK. The East Midlands, however, is the region currently employing the highest percentage of manufacturing professionals in the UK - with Leicester being a particular hub for the industry. Other popular areas for Manufacture are scattered throughout the country and include Birmingham and Swindon.
Recruitment agencies regularly list opportunities for Production Operators, CNC Machinists, Production Assemblers, and Quality Inspectors, and there are many positions offered for jobseekers with all levels of experience and expertise. It is typical for entry-level positions to pay about £16-20K annually. But the industry is one in which salaries increase steadily as workers acquire skills and competence. The top 10% of earners make upwards of £45,000. Overall, average salaries throughout most parts of the UK range from about £25 to 30K, while those working in London average nearly £43K annually.
Apprenticeships are a popular way to gain entry into the field, as many positions require extensive on-the-job training. Academic degrees and special qualifications are rarely necessary for most junior positions. Employers look for well-organised, efficient professionals who work well in teams. Skills in basic mathematics and aptitude working with mechanical instruments are also beneficial.

Corporate Tax Avoidance – How to tackle the PR challenge
How should companies deal with direct action and online activism in light of accusations of corporate tax avoidance? That was the question that was posed by Communicate magazine last week.
In short, if there appears to be a problem with the numbers, engage the communications professionals in the same way you would when it comes to other operational matters.
The stance taken by those who have been brave enough to defend their positions thus far has talked of wider corporate contribution, including employment numbers and payroll. This is not wrong. However, I do believe there's a need to move the debate on, as was tried by the Treasury' s David Gauke recently who argued that Corporation Tax fundamentally affects employees, who have to foot the bill. A debateable point, but worth voicing.
I'm not kidding myself, the subject of tax is a difficult one to reframe as we're all familiar with and contribute to the system. However, in light of the fact that the UK public largely supports the capitalist system that's in place, I believe there's the scope to evolve the arguments.

Given the growing Occupy Wall Street movement, it's easy to say, "I'm done with reading! No more Charles Dickens. No more Shakespeare, or Ozzie Osbourne. I'm headed to the streets!" But wait. If you must put your current books down, pick up another book. Perhaps a children's book. Perhaps – perhaps! – one called Tales for Little Rebels. Some in the Occupy movements are reading it, after all. It's a collection of radical children's literature. In it, a revolutionary chick breaks from from her "egg state" after crying, "Strike down the wall!" In another, ostriches pull their heads out of the sand and unite to fight fascism. There's someone called Baby X, who "grows up without a gender and is happy about it."
In an absolutely shocking article written this past summer for Mail Online, it was reported that there are, yes indeed, links to apples and keeping doctors away. What about Green Apple Books? You need Green Apple Books. To be smart. To be healthy. To be a real person. But, not everyone lives near Green Apple Books, and streets would be awfully crowded if they did. Thus, the Apple-a-month Club. Once a month, those who sign up for this club will receive a Green Apple selected book right in their mail box. No need to brush your teeth again with this new form of apple.
Other apples are also making the news. In an article posted last week by Fred Schruer, Steve Jobs' new biography, I, Steve, is solid but "needs deathbed confession." Bring on the death bed confession! Instead, in this book, Job says he was only "ashamed" just once, for refusing to let his parents accompany him into the Reed College campus when he matriculated. But not to fear, this book still includes lots of bullying, belittling, and, my own personal favorite, lying. If you want to know the man who calls himself, "I, Steve," check this out.
NaNoWriMo has begun. That's National Novel Writing Month, started by Oakland's own Chris Baty. It means you need to 50,000 words this month. For those who aren't writers, maybe try speaking 50,000 words in a month. Each time you say a word, say, "Excuse me, sorry, I have to write something down," and then put a dash for your word. Okay, maybe writing a novel suddenly sounds a lot smarter and more productive. Plus, people all over the globe are doing it, and those in the Bay Area are organizing write-ins so they can write with you. You better get started, though, because that clock is ticking…

Martha Stewart cooking demo // Sometimes, it's hard to think about Martha Stewart without asking the question, "Knock, knock, who is there?" and wondering what really lurks within Martha the Stewart. Her new book, Martha's Entertaining: A Year of Celebrations, is said to be her most intimate cookbook yet. No doubt she spills all, informing her readers of her intimate secrets like, "I love soup and sandwiches, and I also love delicious composed salads, or vegetable tarts, or simply grilled meats and fish. Afternoons can also be a great time to serve a formal tea, throw a cocktail party, or host an ice cream social." Plus, you can actually meet Martha Stewart this Saturday at Macy's. If you are one of the first 200 people to purchase $75 of Martha Stewart cookware, you win a prize! You get a seat! Yes, yes, no standing for you, young cook! // DETAILS: Saturday, November 5, 11am. Macy's Union Square Cellar. 170 O'Farrell Street, San Francisco
Sunday, November 6

San Francisco Public Library, Presidio Branch. 3150 Sacramento Street, San Francisco
Open mic // The Starry Plough open mic is described as very "Bay Area, California." Maybe this is due to its location, or maybe, even if you stuck this open mic in Oregon, or Pakistan, it would still be very Bay Area. There's said to be lots of enthusiasm and talent. // DETAILS: Every Tuesday, 7:30pm. The Starry Plough, 3101 Shattuck Ave, Berkeley
Wednesday, November 9
Book release/dance party // So, the single most important book on human sexuality has come out since Kinsey published Sexual Behavior in the Human Male in 1948. I'm not making that up. It says so on the front cover of Sex at Dawn: How We Mate, Why We Stray, and What it Means about Modern Relationships by Christopher Ryan and Cacilda Jetha. Chapters include, "What Darwin Didn't Know About Sex," "Who Lost What in Paradise: On Getting Funky and Rockin' Round the Clock," "The March of the Monogamous," and "When Girls Go Wild: Come Again?" If you're looking to ask someone, "Why do we mate? Why do we stray?" and "What does it mean about modern relationships?" but weren't sure whom to ask, I think you just found your people. // DETAILS: Wednesday, November 9, 7pm. Dance party 10 – 2am. Supperclub San Francisco. 657 Harrison, San Francisco

Open mic // In this world, you won't always have a microphone with you. And you need to be in particularly Occupied places to find human mics. So this Thursday would be a good time to let go of Mr. Microphone, the mic you snuggled with since you were five, and come to the 16th and Mission Bart Station to read some freestyle poetry. It'll be just you, and your mouth, and some people gathered around you in a circle formation, looking at you. Do it. // DETAILS: Thursday, November 10, 10pm. Outside 16th Street BART Station, San Francisco

NEW: B.L. Rieke Videos feat. Exclusive Interview with Bruce and Toni Rieke
Here at B.L. Rieke Custom Homes, we strive to build beautiful, top-quality homes that exceed expectations and are perfectly tailored to fit ...
Searching for Kansas City builders? At B.L. Rieke we are committed to designing quality, custom homes for our customers. Working with the needs and interests of the modern home buyer, We create custom made homes to suit the changing needs of contemporary families.
B.L. Rieke built our new house in Lenexa, Kansas. We are more than thrilled by the completed house. They incorporated all the ideas we had and with their expert subs it turned out to be the house of our dreams. They were always communicating with us about the status of construction.
We are very happy we chose B.L. Rieke.
We used B.L. Rieke to build our dream home. It was completed in October 2012. I still drive up to it over three years later and say to myself, "I can't believe I live here." Bruce, Toni and the rest of the team at B.L. Rieke took time to get to know us, our personality, how we live,...and that made all the difference. We are so grateful for the attention to detail and how our personalities shine through in every room. I cannot recommend them enough. You will not regret it and, even better, will drive up to YOUR house saying, "I can't believe I live here!"
We recently moved in to our new B.L. Rieke house. It's not just a house, it's our dream home. The B.L. Rieke attention to detail has made our home one of the most amazing...Throughout the house, one can see the high quality of work that B.L. Rieke pride themselves on...Custom pieces designed by them have personalized our home. Any building ideas requested were always delivered with perfection. The creative and functional ideas from the B.L. Rieke team along with their positive attitude have made our home outstanding!
As each day goes by we have encounters with people that know far more construction than us. To a person every one of them remarks about the quality with which our house was built. Thank you so much for doing the little things to make this such a well built house. We really appreciate your efforts.
As is often the case, when building a home, we anticipated a stressful time with many disappointing delays and careless, messy workers. However, the experience was just the opposite. Every person of the dozens of sub-contractors involved was most professional in their work and demeanor. The response to our questions was ever so prompt and courteous ... Instead of stress filled, the whole process was pure fun and exciting. The Bruce Rieke team did everything and more than was promised.It went beyond our expectations.
Bruce and Toni built a custom home for us in Lenexa. From the very beginning, they wanted to design and build a home that not only met our needs but was something very special for us. They made us feel like we were their only client and wanted to be sure we were totally happy with every detail. In the end, the house totally exceeded our expectations and we completely love it. We've built a number of homes over the years and nothing compares to the quality of this home.
Bruce L. "B.L." Rieke has been involved in the building industry since a very young age. A third generation Kansan, Bruce founded B.L. Rieke and Associates in 1989. Since then, Bruce and his wife, Toni, and the rest of the B.L. Rieke team have completed construction on over 1,100 distinctive and innovative quality homes in and around the Johnson County area. Emphasizing a team approach to successful home building, Bruce employs a top-tier team and stresses communication as the main component of a strong and successful business. When not building beautiful homes, he loves cooking and being outdoors.
Toni Rieke grew up working for her family by farming, raising animals, and running the family farm business in Shawnee, Kansas. Shortly after marrying Bruce, they bought their first "fixer-upper" home, launching the beginning of their home construction era. In 1990, Toni became B.L. Rieke's bookkeeper and the cleaning, moving, and packing person. As B.L. Rieke's business evolved, Toni was eventually able to focus on interior design. Over the years, Toni has work alongside many designers and her design talent has earned B.L. Rieke local awards and national acclaim. When not at work, she enjoys gardening and spending time with her family.
Karen Leftwich began gaining her accounting experience in college and started her career in homebuilding in 1990. With homebuilding in her blood and accounting as her passion, she joined the B.L. Rieke team in 1994 as the company's sole accountant. Over the years, she has developed lasting friendships with the team and has loved working with B.L. Rieke's homeowners and subcontractors. In the future, she hopes to "try and last as long as Bruce needs her, even in her walker." In her spare time, she likes to shoot clay targets and travel.
Jeremy Lutz grew up in Hays, Kansas before going to college at Southwest Missouri State University to major in Construction Management. After graduating in 1999, he jumped right into the Kansas City homebuilding industry and launched his successful career a year later. Since joining the B.L. Rieke team in 2011 as an experienced Construction Manager, Jeremy has become an invaluable asset to the B.L. Rieke team as a highly-capable supervisor on jobsites. He currently resides in Raymore, Missouri with his wife, Nicole, and his two children. His hobbies include barbequing, being outdoors, and spending time with his family.
Paul "Paulie" Hill is a retired Navy veteran who has traveled the country, working in the homebuilding industry since childhood. The Cape Cod, Massachusetts native moved to the Kansas City area in June 1996 and then became a part of the B.L. Rieke team in September in order to fulfill his lifelong dream of building custom homes. He brought with him a wide range of knowledge and valued experience from across the country. With several builders to choose from, Paul made the right choice. In his off-time, he enjoys wood working, gardening, camping, and rooting for the Kansas City Chiefs and the New England Patriots.
As Bruce and Toni's daughter, Savannah Rieke has been exposed to the homebuilding industry since an early age, quickly learning the ins and outs of the business. While attending high school and then college, she worked at the B.L. Rieke office by assisting Karen and Toni. By 2013, she was promoted to full-time Web Administrator to help immerse and actively engage the family business in social media, social technology, and online marketing. Savannah also oversees B.L. Rieke's web presence, including the website, weekly blog, and all online profiles. In her free time, she loves reading, traveling, and being with family and friends.
Beth came to B.L. Rieke with a variety of experience. She has a degree in Merchandising and Design from JCCC. She spent several years in Retail Management and has experience with Commercial design and construction, as well. She is the oldest of four girls and enjoys spending time with her family. When she is not working, she enjoys shopping, working on creative projects, and party planning. Currently, she's been with us for over a year as the Junior Interior Designer and Toni's assistant.
At B.L. Rieke we customize each home to provide for our clients' individual styles and interest, so when you step inside, you're walking into a home that both reflects and enhances your lifestyle. We want to know more about you and what you're passionate about so we can incorporate the things that matter to you. Your home should be a reflection of you and your lifestyle.
At B.L. Rieke we experiment with different floor plans and amenity options until we get the perfect fit for you. We break through the boundaries set by other builders, because when it comes to building a home, nothing is too good for our customers.
At B.L. Rieke we are committed to designing quality, custom homes for our customers. Working with the needs and interests of the modern home buyer in mind, we create custom made homes to suit the changing needs of contemporary families.
At B.L. Rieke we meticulously plan each stage of the home building process. Our plan is the road-map to building your home and we make sure we don't miss anything along the way.
At B.L. Rieke we work with quality focused people to build your home. From the foundation to the frame to the roof we put it all together.
At B.L. Rieke quality is built into every stage of our process. In Bruce's own words, "Every home is something I am proud to put our name on."
At B.L. Rieke communication is one of our key values. We are in constant communication with our customers so you know exactly where we are and what's going on in every stage of the process.
Here at B.L. Rieke Custom Homes, we strive to build beautiful, top-quality homes that exceed expectations and are perfectly tailored to fit ...

Black ops 2 makes it's way onto popular youtube channel Blendtec the question is will it blend? Featuring Tom Dickson
I forgot about the Will it Blend? videos
Thats the greatest thing anyone can ever do to that game.
best part!!! its a 360 CD, a blueray disk will brake the blender!
Want to make a wager on that statement?
Fanboys can't get more retarded.
Haha funny. +1 from a pc guy that can still play the game without a cd.
I would've agreed if it was modern warfare 3, but im actually liking the game alot which even surprised me.
Before I even pressed play I said "I hope so".
Never did get these videos. Oh well.
Advertising! How else do you sell industrial strength blenders at $1000 a pop? By spending a few thousand on the latest gadgets and fads and showing off your wares. Hell, the revenue off the YouTube hits pays for the video production costs and more! Get it now?
I had more fun watching that then playing the game.
I sure did laugh. They blend everything!
blend kotick!

Born to Fight (UK - BD RB)
Marcus watches The Karate Kid, but this time with boxing and Steve Austin. Yay.
Born to Fight (or US title Knockout) tells the tale of new kid Matthew Miller (Daniel Magder) arriving in a new town and within days of starting his new school, getting picked on by the bullies. When the school janitor Dan Barnes (Steve Austin), a retired boxer by the way, sees the boy's troubles he takes him under his wing and teaches him some mad boxing skills - helping him towards a tournament against the head bully who is also the local boxing champion. Y'know, exactly the same as in The Karate Kid but with boxing.
If this was the first time I'd ever seen this run-of-the-mill teen sports movie Born to Fight might have just passed as a winner but with the similarities so damn close to The Karate Kid it was hard to take this one seriously. With Steve Austin playing Mr Miyagi pretty well and the lead kid doing his best Daniel-san everything just goes through the motions all the way up to the predictable final fight where Matthew hasn't got a chance of winning. However as we all know, through the family support he's earned with his enthusiasm for the sport and some keen tactics and training from his new mentor our new kid gets his moment in the sun like we all knew he would from the first bullying scene and this all wraps up pretty safe and feel good.
It's hard to be mean about a movie when it's got as good a heart as this one but it's of little surprise that this one skipped a big screen release and wound up direct to home release. Outside of its sort of star Steve Austin, who actually does a pretty good job with the little he has to work with, this one is so middle of the road it hurts. It stops being a movie and becomes a checklist of things to get out of the way before the credits roll. You know every beat that's coming, they arrive and are usually more flaccid than you thought they'd be. The movie throws the odd small twist at us but only the generic ones, adding to the roll of the eyes count and the only thing that would have made this movie more twee is if a Justin Bieber song had broken out in the credits.
With a clean and fresh image that wouldn't look out of place on mid-afternoon TV, Born to Fight looks pretty good. Its low budget holds it back from looking anything more than a made for TV movie but that said the image is grain free, has natural colours, has a strong level of detail and while it's a little soft in areas and doesn't really have many colours to show off, that doesn't stop it from being a strong HD presentation. Black levels are a little lacking but the bright and safe nature of the story doesn't really leave much room for dark scenes anyway so it's nothing that missed.
The audio track here is a mixture of clear dialogue and a so mediocre it hurts score. All of this is presented well but both areas stick to their sections - dialogue in the front, score in the back. The score, though dull and uninteresting is quite lively and has little nuances that dance around the rear speakers with a bit of power from time to time. There's the odd bit of ambience in the gym scenes with boxers sparring and punch bags being thumped. The boxing match in the finale (that doesn't have anyone sweeping any legs) is a bit fuller but you can hear the individual yelps from the crowd quite well and makes the thin crowd feel a little fuller. There's a bit more bass in the punches and the score gets a bit more power but this one doesn't punch above its weight.
The only extra we get is the trailer (01:38 HD) and honestly at ninety seconds you get the entire film and it makes for a more pleasing watch as it's over so quickly.
If you've seen any of The Karate Kid movies you probably don't need to ever see Born to Fight. Outside of it being a different sport, this is exactly the same movie just without the memorable characters or any sort of realistic drama and a total lack of dramatic climax that hits the right spot. The disc looks clean and pretty, the audio is strong but bland and with only a trailer on the extras you might want to wait for the inevitable Saturday afternoon TV broadcast for this one because this is where should live really.

Intro lyrics – The Statement 2
Well it's the beast from the bottom
Only holler bout a dollar
Quarter mil around the collar
H double O D the rider, huh
Realest shit I've ever stated
Hottest and underrated
Can't debate it, know they hate it
Now they wonder what I'm makin'
Falsifying accusations
Fuck the rumors they created
I'm the future
Bitch we better then the best
Ain't no settlement for less
Any nigga wanna test it
And they get graded by the tech
Hop up outta that new slid'a
With a European model
"Getting' money, " that's the motto
Don't believe it? You can swallow theeeeese
From the bottom to the top
I've done been through quite a lot
Khaled tried to tell them niggas, but they wouldn't give me props
Took a minute, now I'm back up in it
Now they on the jock
If you've seen the shit I've seen
I guarantee it'll never stop
I'm that hell on earth
Put my great God first
Body bag any verse
I should record it in a Hearse
Ain't no ceilin' on the vert'
Stuntin' on 'em, know it hurt
Know a bunch of real niggas
But they young, and they'll learn
Just don't end up on a shirt
R.I.P my nigga Zerk
Straight up outta reppin' Broward
Fuck a hater, lay in dirt
Where my CEO at?
We the best, don't stress
Period, cotax
62 the Maybach
Shit's stretched, Bowflex
Haaa haters take that
This the statement

TAMPA| If he had a learning-disabled child, Aron Zions says he'd want Ingrid Peavy to be the child's teacher.
TAMPA| If he had a learning-disabled child, Aron Zions says he'd want Ingrid Peavy to be the child's teacher.
Peavy, now on paid suspension after a child under her supervision ran away from Pierce Middle School, is known as a competent and caring teacher who runs clubs and talent shows in her off-hours at the Town 'N Country school.
"If I had to say who's the best teacher on campus, I would have to say her," said Zions, who teaches social studies and study skills at Pierce. He's an officer in the teachers union, but said he was not speaking for the union.
Zions contacted the Tampa Bay Times after learning the Hillsborough County School District is moving to fire Peavy, 33, an eight-year employee who taught exceptional student education.
He and four co-workers met over lunch on Friday, a student holiday. They're organizing a fundraising dinner for Peavy, who has three children.
Officials say a disabled child disappeared from Pierce on Oct. 29 when Peavy was supposed to be supervising him.
A letter from the district's professional standards office says a plan was in place to make sure the child did not run, and Peavy should have followed it. The Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office's Child Protective Investigations department verified inadequate supervision.
The district takes those findings seriously, said spokesman Stephen Hegarty. What's more, he said, "if we didn't act, and a week later a tragedy happened, that would be a bad thing."
The incident happened one week after special-needs child Jennifer Caballero disappeared from Rodgers Middle School in Riverview and drowned in a pond. The timing makes Zions and others suspicious about Peavy's treatment. "It's a knee-jerk reaction," he said.
Hegarty's response: "We would have handled it the same way a year earlier."
Peavy said she could not comment. Henry Lefler, the Pierce principal who was transferred soon after the incident, declined to comment earlier in the week.
While the other teachers at Friday's gathering declined to be quoted, they agreed with Zions that teachers are being held to unrealistic standards when it comes to keeping track of middle school students.
They also spoke highly of Peavy, and her last two district evaluations gave her high marks.
The district is revising its procedures to prevent ESE students from running away, a behavior educators call "elopement."
Staffers are assigned to supervise students as they arrive in the morning. They are to be posted throughout campus to keep watch as students move from one class to another. If a child is not where he should be, the teacher is to contact the main office immediately. That call initiates a series of actions to locate the child.
But Zions said the reality is often more like this: A student skips class. He might be in the restroom or the gym. The teacher calls the office, but no one answers. The teacher dials another number, then another.
"You just keep calling, so you are not teaching anymore," he said.
Zions said the same student who disappeared under Peavy's watch had been scheduled with him for an elective rotation, but never showed up.
The student was with the principal or other administrators on those days, Zions said, but he didn't know it at the time. "If he's not in my class, how do I stop him from running?"
Assistant superintendent Jeffrey Eakins, who heads up a district work group overseeing the ESE reforms, said elopement prevention is enormously complicated.
The district wants to provide uniformity in its procedures, even though different campuses are laid out differently.
Not only do officials have to figure out how to guard school exits without sacrificing manpower in the hallways; they also must understand a child's individual psychology to prevent the child from trying to run.
"This is kind of ground-floor work we're doing," he said, adding that the group had trouble finding models from other districts.
Information on elopement will be woven into new mandatory training for teachers and ESE aides.
Eakins said he did not know enough about Peavy's case to discuss it. The School Board is scheduled Tuesday to vote to suspend her without pay. She is entitled to a hearing before a decision is made on whether to fire her.
Eakins said he is not surprised that some teachers fear they will suffer severe consequences if a child runs away. "If it were me, I'd be concerned," he said. "Their awareness is so heightened."

Hunter is level 82. Two more Northrend Spirit Beasts tamed and ticked off the list, leaving only Loque'nahak, who I've yet to so much as sight. Hunting them down been a really compelling and fun experience, and though I know I'm essentially making educated guesses based on spawn timers and taking a wormhole to Northrend to do a sweep every 4-6 hours — a very game-y system, for me it feels like the essence of what being a Hunter is about; patiently and persistently tracking my elusive prey over a course of days, perhaps weeks. And the most tantalisingly elusive prize of all, the Time-Lost Proto Drake, is out there somewhere.
