Tony G. Rocco is a California-based freelance technical writer and author of biographical non-fiction, first-person journalism and essays. His work can be found on the BrooWaha.com community newspaper under his own name and his pen name, cityfeller. No Regrets: Memoirs of a Punk, his first eBook, grew out of a piece he wrote for BrooWaha. It recounts his early days on the San Francisco punk scene, and tells the tale of a young Catholic boy who escapes his conservative Texas upbringing to live the life of a free-spirited punk rocker in the San Francisco of the 1970's.
Review by:
Jean Radakovich
on May 25, 2013 :
Just to be clear - READ IT! It has power and will transport you.
I had been waiting for its release and was intrigued to at least read the Preface right off. Zapped like a cricket on a chameleon's tongue I was, it was about sixteen pages before I could pull away. Had to return at first chance to read it straight through.
I think maybe it should have been called, 'No Regrets, Memoirs of a Punk - The Transformation of Tony G Rocco'.
He nests you in the American zeitgeist, invites you in the front door of his childhood home and gives a ringside, high-def version of his formative experiences. Brutal honesty trumps all and his path leading to the San Francisco punk scene is what sticks most in my mind.
Once there (SF), it is a memory bending venture for those of us whose personal journeys landed us in the same life changing epicenter. For me at least, it's subjectivity adds perspective to my own same-time-same-place different-but-equally-compelling experience. His words are worth a thousand photographs - but I did kinda wish there were one or two pre SF pics.
I've wondered on occasion what became of some of the people who disappeared into the two dimensional world of my box of photos. His memoir makes me realize how firmly planted in the present I was during that time. A state of being posted in endless memes now on fb. I guess staying present often comes more easily with youth.
The memoir makes me realize how little I actually knew about the people I spent time with.. the music was too good and too loud and I was too busy having fun. Young as we were, it is now clear that one of the things that brought us all together to enjoy or create that scene was some discord in our short past lives or some drive to escape Dodge.
I made a cathartic departure from San Francisco and its fabulous punk scene in 1984. In retrospect my life has telescoped in a series of adventures and I was on to the next one. But the seven years I spent there was so indelible, so vibrantly alive, I actually had withdrawals - and like Tony, no regrets... well maybe a few.
How funny it is to get to know someone so suddenly, in the space of a few hours of reading and what a gift that is. Tony is a brave soul to lay himself out. It's a work of art. I loved it.
In making some sense of our past and relating it to who we are now, liberating the mind seems a fine goal - but beware invisible walls. Why imagine the best is behind? It was indeed a unique time but the author certainly retains the creative energy he had back then and adventures are no doubt still to be had.
..... to those who shared this unrepeatable era, you have a great infusion here and, like it or not, once you've read it, a new old friend.
If you didn't live in SF at that time here is a window to look through. An insight into the punk scene that will make you wish you had at least had a brush with all that energy.
The only mystery is the 'G'.

A Brief History and Overview
The Probate Court, District of Old Lyme, was established by act of the Connecticut General Assembly in 1830 as the Probate Court, District of Lyme. Probate records from May 1, 1666 to June 4, 1830 are held in New London. Probate records from June 4, 1830 to date are held in Old Lyme. On July 24, 1868, the court name was changed from District of Lyme to District of Old Lyme. On July 4, 1869, division of the Old Lyme Probate District established a new probate district for the Town of Lyme. The Probate Court for the District of Old Lyme is one of 123 probate courts in the State of Connecticut.
During the seventy-seven years from 1830 to 1907 there were 17 men who held the office of Judge of Probate. There have been six judges in the last 97 years, including two women. The longest tenure served for this district was Judge Robert H. Noble, from 1920 to 1951.
Since 1850, the voters of the town or towns within a probate district have elected probate judges. Judges do not have to be attorneys, but each judge must be an elector of a town within the district. Judges serve four-year terms. Mandatory retirement age is 70.
Probate Court procedures and the statutes, which set forth the duties and obligations of probate judges, are constantly under review so that improvements may be made which will be of benefit to those needing the services of the Probate Court.
The Probate Court has a variety of informational brochures available. As always, you are welcome to visit the court for information relating to the functions and procedures of the Probate Court.

An outbreak of atypical pneumonia, referred to as severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) and first identified in Guangdong Province, China, has spread to several countries. The severity of this disease is such that the mortality rate appears to be ~3 to 6%. A number of laboratories worldwidehave undertaken the identification of the causative agent. The National Microbiology Laboratory in Canada obtained the Tor2 isolate from a patient in Toronto, and succeeded in growing a coronavirus-like agent in African Green Monkey Kidney (Vero E6) cells. This coronavirus has been named publicly by the World Health Organization and member laboratories as ?SARS virus? The SARS membrane proteins, including the major proteins S (Spike) and M (Membrane), are inserted into the endoplasmic reticulum Golgi intermediate compartment (ERGIC) while full length replicated RNA (+ strands) assemble with the N (nucleocapsid) protein. The virus then migrates through the Golgi complex and eventually exits the cell, likely by exocytosis. The site of viral attachment to the host cell resides within the S protein. Oligomeric spike (S) glycoproteins extend from SARS membranes. These integral membrane proteins assemble within the endoplasmic reticulum of infected cells and are subsequently endoproteolyzed in the Golgi, generating noncovalently associated S1 and S2 fragments. Once on the surface of infected cells and virions, peripheral S1 fragments bind carcinoembryonic antigen-related cell adhesion molecule (CEACAM) receptors, and this triggers membrane fusion reactions mediated by integral membrane S2 fragments.

the judge's words
I guess it's been three years since Richard Reed (the would-be shoe bomber) was convicted of attempted murder and sentenced in a U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts. I don't remember reading or hearing anything about his sentencing at the time (the media is funny that way). But tonight, I heard.
I didn't have a blog back then. But even now, three years late, the judge's words are worth passing on.
Apparently, just prior to sentencing, Judge William Young asked Richard Reed if he had anything to say. Reed admitted both his guilt and his "allegiance to Osama bin Ladan, to Islam, and to the religion of Allah." He then went on to add, "I think I will not apologize for any actions. I am at war with your country."
Judge Young passed sentence (life in prison, plus 80 years, plus 30 years, plus a fine of 2 million and change) and then said the following:
"Mr. Reed, this is the sentence that is provided for by our statutes. It is a fair and just sentence. It is a righteous sentence.
Now, let me explain this to you. We are not afraid of you or any of your terrorist co-conspirators, Mr. Reid. We are Americans. We have been through the fire before. There is too much war talk here and I say that to everyone with the utmost respect. Here in this court, we deal with individuals as individuals and care for individuals as individuals. As human beings, we reach out for justice.
You are not an enemy combatant. You are a terrorist. You are not a soldier in any war. You are a terrorist. To give you that reference, to call you a soldier, gives you far too much stature. Whether the officers of government do it or your attorney does it, or if you think you are a soldier, you are not -- you are a terrorist. And we do not negotiate with terrorists. We do not meet with terrorists. We do not sign documents with terrorists. We hunt them down one by one and bring them to justice.
So war talk is way out of line in this court. You are a big fellow. But you are not that big. You're no warrior. I've known warriors. You are a terrorist. A species of criminal that is guilty of multiple attempted murders. In a very real sense, State Trooper Santiago had it right when you first were taken off that plane and into custody and you wondered where the press and the TV crews were, and he said: "You're no big deal."
You are no big deal.
What your able counsel and what the equally able United States attorneys have grappled with and what I have as honestly as I know how tried to grapple with, is why you did something so horrific. What was it that led you here to this courtroom today?
I have listened respectfully to what you have to say. And I ask you to search your heart and ask yourself what sort of unfathomable hate led you to do what you are guilty and admit you are guilty of doing? And, I have an answer for you. It may not satisfy you, but as I search this entire record, it comes as close to understanding as I know.
It seems to me you hate the one thing that to us is most precious. You hate our freedom. Our individual freedom. Our individual freedom to live as we choose, to come and go as we choose, to believe or not believe as we individually choose. Here, in this society, the very wind carries freedom. It carries it everywhere from sea to shining sea. It is because we prize individual freedom so much that you are here in this beautiful courtroom. So that everyone can see, truly see, that justice is administered fairly, individually, and discreetly. It is for freedom's sake that your lawyers are striving so vigorously on your behalf, have filed appeals, will go on in their representation of you before other judges.
We Americans are all about freedom. Because we all know that the way we treat you, Mr. Reid, is the measure of our own liberties. Make no mistake though. It is yet true that we will bear any burden; pay any price, to preserve our freedoms. Look around this courtroom. Mark it well. The world is not going to long remember what you or I say here. The day after tomorrow, it will be forgotten; but this, however, will long endure.
Here in this courtroom and courtrooms all across America, the American people will gather to see that justice -- individual justice; justice, not war; individual justice -- is, in fact, being done. The very President of the United States through his officers will have to come into courtrooms and lay out evidence on which specific matters can be judged and juries of citizens will gather to sit and judge that evidence democratically, to mold and shape and refine our sense of justice.
See that flag, Mr. Reid? That's the flag of the United States of America. That flag will fly there long after this is all forgotten. That flag stands for freedom. And it always will.
Mr. Custody Officer. Stand him down."

Zach Galifianakis Will Cameo in Muppet Movie
The human Muppet will not actually be playing a Muppet.
Zach Galifianakis, who has already engaged in a Muppet staring contest, will appear in the new Jason Segel and Amy Adams Pixar Muppet movie. Robert Downey Jr. accidentally broke the news while doing a Due Date interview with Galifianakis by saying, "So, you're doing a few days on the Muppets movie?" Cat, consider yourself out of the bag. The all-important question raised by this casting: Is there any human being on earth more like a Muppet than Galifianakis? [Pop Watch/EW]

Threshold magnitudes for a multichannel correlation detector in background seismicity
Colocated explosive sources often produce correlated seismic waveforms. Multichannel correlation detectors identify these signals by scanning template waveforms recorded from known reference events against "target" data to find similar waveforms. This screening problem is challenged at thresholds required to monitor smaller explosions, often because non-target signals falsely trigger such detectors. Therefore, it is generally unclear what thresholds will reliably identify a target explosion while screening non-target background seismicity. Here, we estimate threshold magnitudes for hypothetical explosions located at the North Korean nuclear test site over six months of 2010, by processing International Monitoring System (IMS) array data with a multichannel waveform correlation detector. Our method (1) accounts for low amplitude background seismicity that falsely triggers correlation detectors but is unidentifiable with conventional power beams, (2) adapts to diurnally variable noise levels and (3) uses source-receiver reciprocity concepts to estimate thresholds for explosions spatially separated from the template source. Furthermore, we find that underground explosions with body wave magnitudes m b = 1.66 are detectable at the IMS array USRK with probability 0.99, when using template waveforms consisting only of P -waves, without false alarms. We conservatively find that these thresholds also increase by up to a magnitude unit for sourcesmore »

The 2017 Certain Days calendar features more original, striking and colourful political artwork.
The calendar is a joint fundraising and educational project between outside organizers in Montreal and Toronto, and three political prisoners being held in maximum-security prisons in New York State: David Gilbert, Robert Seth Hayes and Herman Bell. The initial project was suggested by Herman, and has been shaped throughout the process by all of our ideas, discussions, and analysis. All of the members of the outside collective are involved in day-to-day organizing work other than the calendar, on issues ranging from refugee and immigrant solidarity to community media to prisoner justice. We work from an anti-imperialist, anti-racist, anti-capitalist, feminist, queer and trans positive position.

1. Movie minimum is at least 90 minutes. Usually they are 2+ hours. Tv is 45 minutes. Who wants to sit that long?
2. Movies are one story unless you count sequels. Tv can do so much more character building, plot building and etc.
3. Skip commercials. Now with DVR & cheap DVDs you can watch tv commercial free. Every once in awhile someone asks me if I've watched such & such commercial. I answer, "I don't watch commercials".
4. Budgets for tv have skyrocketed. Tv & the dreaded TV movies were always considered 2nd rate. Now studios are investing big in tv & it shows.
5. Main characters die. When they die in a movie you've had a brief time period to get to know them anyway. When you see someone die that's been on the show for a whole season or two it's incredible.
6. Guest stars rule. How cool is it to see a new character that you like the actor from something else.
As I wrote this I was thinking of Walking Dead.
While I read that, I was thinking of The Walking Dead. lol

Re: The Absolute Best Authentications Of The Protocols Of Zion
Here's an email I got from Harrell Rhome about the protocols.
We must be the most deceived population of all times, yet when the information-age possibilities are considered, we should be the best informed. But we are not, and are most often our own worst enemy -- the willingly deceived Euro-American. We accept, and proclaim from our pulpits and schools, the most idiotic drivel about the modern history of the world. If you do not see at least some of the roles certain conspiracy plans play in world history, then you are among the most deceived of all, so do not bother to read further! Here is a short item of interest, pointing to a program, plan, plot, cabal, or whatever you choose to call it, that has been operating for countless centuries. The most agreeable name is Zionism, but because the main participants (but not all!) were/are of the Turko-Mongol-Khazarian Central Asian Judaized tribe who began entering Europe in the late tenth century, the most accurate moniker could just as well be Khazarian Zionism. They are not Semites and their forebears never set foot in Palestine; nor did they originally speak Hebrew! The plans for their eventual success are partially revealed in several old documents. One of the most interesting appears below. This 1489/1492 piece seems based on âdisaster contingency plans and protocols already in place long before the letter writers posed their questions. And, just in case you don't know, the plans are succeeding! Not 500 years ago, but now.
In a Radio Roma broadcast, 20 April 1943, the eminent poet, philosopher and scholar Ezra Pound said:
If or when one mentions the Protocols alleged to be of the Elders of Zion, one is frequently met with the reply: Oh, but they are a forgery. Certainly they are a forgery, and that is the one proof we have of their authenticity. The Jews have worked with forged documents for the past 24 hundred years, namely ever since they have had any documents whatsoever. And no one can qualify as a historian of this half century without having examined the Protocols. What we know for certain is that they were published two decades ago. That Lord Sydenham wrote a preface to them. That their content has been traced to another sketch said to have appeared in the eighteen forties. The interest in them does not lie in [the] question of their having been, or not been concocted by a legislative assembly of Rabbis, democratically elected, or secretly chosen by the Mysterious Order of Seven Branched Antlers or the Bowling Society of Milwaukee.
Their interest lies in the type of mind, or the state of mind of their authors.
What is interesting, perhaps most, to the historian is their definite campaign against history altogether, their declared intention to blot out the classics, to blot out the record, and to dazzle men with talk of tomorrow.
While the Jews and their court historians love to rant on and on about The Protocols being a forgery they never, ever refer to the preceding information or the distinct implication that The Protocols, as they were manifested in the late 19th century are but an overview, a portion of conspiracy plans that have been afoot for centuries. Read The Protocols again. Every point is either in full process or has already happened! Will the self-deceived ones ever wake up? If this were to happen, truly cataclysmic events might occur. The dark forces know this well, and that is why they fear the Protocols so much, and never cease in their mission to deter their circulation. Many Internet sites have them. Print them out. Pass them on. You never know where they might end up. Stay clearly sighted on an informational ministry. Spread the word.
Khazarian Zionism and the dark forces now ride the ascendant wave, and the warriors of truth and light are few and far between. This will change, but we are in a very low phase of the cosmic cycle, when the thugs seem to have their way.
\"Permit me to issue and control the money of a nation, and I care not who makes its laws.\"

Regular and punctual student attendance in school is essential to the educational process. Connecticut state law places responsibility for assuring that students attend school with the parent or other person having control of the child. To assist parents and other persons in meeting this responsibility, the Board of Education, through its Superintendent, will adopt and maintain procedures to implement this policy.

Connecticut State Department of Education, Guidelines for Implementation of the Definitions of Excused and Unexcused Absences and Best Practices for Absence Prevention and Intervention (April 2013)
A. Definitions:
1. "Absence" - any day during which a student is not considered "in attendance" at his/her assigned school, or on a school sponsored activity (e.g. field trip), for at least one half of the school day.
2. "Disciplinary absence"- Any absence as a result of school or district disciplinary action. Any student serving an out-of-school suspension or expulsion should be considered absent. Such absence is not considered excused or unexcused.
3. "Educational evaluation" - for purposes of this policy, an educational evaluation is an assessment of a student's educational development, which, based upon the student's presenting characteristics, would assess (as appropriate) the following areas: health, vision, hearing, social and emotional status, general intelligence, academic performance, communicative status and motor abilities.
4. "Excused absence" - a student is considered excused from school if the school has received written documentation describing the reason for the absence within ten (10) school days of the student's return to school, or if the child has been excluded from school in accordance with section 10-210 of the Connecticut General Statutes (regarding communicable diseases), and the following criteria are met:
A. Any absence before the student's 10th absence, is considered excused when the student's parent/guardian approves such absence and submits appropriate written documentation in accordance with this regulation.
B. For the student's 10th absence and all absences thereafter, a student's absences from school are, with appropriate documentation in accordance with this regulation, considered excused only for the following reasons:
a. student illness (verified by an appropriately licensed medical professional);
b. religious holidays;
c. mandated court appearances (documentation required);
d. funeral or death in the family, or other emergency beyond the control of the student's family;
e. extraordinary educational opportunities pre-approved by the district administrators and in accordance with Connecticut State Department of Education guidance and this regulation;
f. lack of transportation that is normally provided by a district other than the one the student attends.
5. "In Attendance" - any day during which a student is not considered to be absent from his/her assigned school, or from an activity sponsored by the school (e.g. field trip), for at least one half of the school day.
6. "Unexcused absence" - any absence from a regularly scheduled school day for at least one half of the school day, which is not excused or considered a disciplinary absence.
The determination of whether an absence is excused will be made by the building principal or his/her designee. Parents or other persons having control of the child may appeal that decision to the Superintendent or his/her designee, whose decision shall be final.
7. "Truant" - any student five (5) to eighteen (18) years of age, inclusive, who has four (4) unexcused absences from school in any one month or ten (10) unexcused absences from school in any school year.
8. "Student" - a student enrolled in the Plainfield Public Schools.
B. Written Documentation Requirements for Absences
1. Written documentation must be submitted for each incidence of absence within ten (10) school days of the student's return to school. An incidence of absence is considered consecutive days of absence.
2. The first nine (9) days of absence will be excused upon receipt of a signed note from the student's parent/guardian, a signed note from a school official that spoke in person with the parent/guardian regarding the absence, or a note confirming the absence by the school nurse or by a licensed medical professional, as appropriate.
3. For the student's 10th absence, and all absences thereafter, documentation of the absence must be submitted in accordance with paragraphs 1 and 2 above, and must also include the reason for the absence and the following additional information:
a. student illness:
(1) signed note from a medical professional, who may be the school nurse, who has evaluated the student confirming the absence and giving an expected return date; or
(2) signed note from school nurse who has spoken with the student's medical professional and confirmed the absence, including the date and location of the consultation.
b. religious holidays: none.
c. mandated court appearances:
(1) a police summons;
(2) a subpoena;
(3) a notice to appear;
(4) a signed note from a court official; or
(5) other official, written documentation of the legal requirement to appear in court.
d. funeral or death in the family, or other emergency beyond the control of the student's family: written document must explain the nature of the emergency.
e. extraordinary educational opportunity pre-approved by the district administrators and in accordance with Connecticut State Department of Education guidance and this policy: written pre-approval from the administration, in accordance with this regulation.
f. lack of transportation that is normally provided by a district other than the one the student attends: none.
4. Neither e-mail nor text message shall serve to satisfy the requirement of written documentation. In rare and extraordinary circumstances, a building administrator may, in his/her own discretion, accept the delivery of written documentation through a scanned copy sent by e-mail.
5. The Plainfield Public Schools reserves the right to randomly audit written documentation received, through telephone and other methods of communication, to determine its authenticity.
6. Any absence that is not documented in accordance with this regulation within ten (10) school days after the incidence of absence will be recorded as unexcused. If documentation is provided within ten (10) school days, but is incomplete, the building principal may, at his/her own discretion, grant up to a five (5) school day extension for provision of the completed documentation.
C. Extraordinary Educational Opportunities
1. To qualify as an extraordinary educational opportunity, the opportunity must:
a. be educational in nature and must have a learning objective related to the student's course work or plan of study;
b. be an opportunity not ordinarily available for this exemption;
c. be grade and developmentally appropriate; and
d. include content that is highly relevant to the student; while some opportunities will be relevant to all students, others will contain very specific content that would limit their relevance to a smaller group of students.
2. Family vacations do not qualify as extraordinary educational opportunities.
3. All requests for approval of extraordinary educational opportunities must:
a. be submitted to the building principal in writing prior to the opportunity, but no later than ten (10) school days prior to the opportunity except in exceptional circumstances at the discretion of the building administrator;
b. contain the signatures of both the parent/guardian and the student;
c. include an outline of the learning objective of the opportunity and include detail as to how the objective is linked to the student's coursework or plan of study; and
d. include additional documentation, where available, about the opportunity.
4. The building principal shall provide a response in writing and include the following:
a. either approval or denial of the request;
b. brief reason for any denial;
c. any requirements placed upon the student as a condition of approval;
d. the specific days approved as excused absences for the opportunity;
e. the understanding that the building administrator may withdraw its approval if the opportunity is canceled or the student fails to meet the agreed-upon requirements of the approval.
5. All decisions of the building principal relating to extraordinary educational opportunities shall be final.
6. Students who are granted excusal from school to participate in extraordinary educational opportunities are expected to share their experiences with other students and/or school staff when they return.
7. Approval for an extraordinary educational opportunity is determined on a case-by-case basis and the analysis of individualized factors. An opportunity approved for one student may not be approved for another.
D. Truancy Exceptions:
1. A student five (5) or six (6) years of age shall not be considered truant if the parent or person having control over such student has appeared personally at the school district office and exercised the option of not sending the child to school at five (5) or six (6) years of age.
2. A student seventeen (17) years of age shall not be considered truant if the parent or person having control over such student consents to such student's withdrawal from school. Such parent or person shall personally appear at the school district office and sign a withdrawal form indicating such consent. Such withdrawal form must include an attestation from a guidance counselor or school administrator from the school that the district provided the parent (or person having control of the child) with information on the educational options available in the school system and community.
3. If a parent or guardian of an expelled student chooses not to enroll the student in an alternative program, the student shall not be considered to be "truant."
E. Readmission to School Following Voluntary Withdrawal
1. Except as noted in paragraph 2 below, if a student voluntarily withdraws from school (in accordance with Section D.2, above) and subsequently seeks readmission, the Board may deny school accommodations to the student for up to ninety (90) school days from the date of the student's withdrawal from school.
2. If a student who has voluntarily withdrawn from school (in accordance with Section D.2, above) seeks readmission within ten (10) school days of his/her withdrawal, the Board shall provide school accommodations to the student not later than three (3) school days after the student requests readmission.
F. Determinations of Whether a Student is "In Attendance":
1. A student serving an out of school suspension or expulsion shall be reported as absent unless he or she receives an alternative educational program for at least one half of the regular school day. In any event, the absence is considered a disciplinary absence, and will not be designated as excused or unexcused.
2. On early dismissal days and days shortened due to inclement weather, the regular school day for attendance purposes is considered to be the amount of instructional time offered to students on that day. For example, if school is open for four hours on a shortened day scheduled, a student must be present for a minimum of two hours in order to be considered "in attendance."
3. Students placed on homebound instruction due to illness or injury in accordance with applicable regulations and requirements are counted as being "in attendance" for every day that they receive instruction from an appropriately certified teacher for an amount of time deemed adequate by the administration so as to ensure that the student is able to successfully return to the regular classroom setting.
G. Procedures for students in grades K-8*
1. Notification
a. Annually at the beginning of the school year and upon the enrollment of any child during the school year, the administration shall notify the parent or other person having control of the student enrolled in grades K - 8 in writing of the obligations pursuant to Conn. Gen. Stat. §10-184 to assure that such a student attends school regularly or to show that the child is elsewhere receiving equivalent instruction in the studies taught in the Plainfield Public Schools.
b. Annually at the beginning of the school year and upon the enrollment of any child during the school year, the administration shall obtain from the parent or other person having control of the student in grades K-8 a telephone number or other means of contacting such parent or other person during the school day.
2. Monitoring
Each school shall implement a system of monitoring individual unexcused absences of students in grades K-8. Whenever such a student fails to report to school on a regularly scheduled school day, school personnel under the direction of the building principal [or his/her designee] shall make a reasonable effort to notify the parent or other person having control of such student by telephone and by mail of the student's absence, unless school personnel have received an indication that the parent or other person is aware of the student's absence. Mailed notice of the student's absence shall include a warning that two unexcused absences from school in a month or five unexcused absences in a school year may result in a complaint filed with the Superior Court pursuant to section 46b-149 alleging the belief that the acts or omissions of the child are such that the child's family is a family with service needs. Any person who, in good faith, gives or fails to give such notice shall be immune from liability, civil or criminal, which might otherwise be incurred or imposed and shall have the same immunity with respect to any judicial proceeding which results from such notice or failure to give notice.
H. Procedures applicable to students ages five (5) to eighteen (18)
1. Intervention
a. When a student is truant, the building principal or his/her designee shall schedule a meeting with the parent (or other person having control of such student) and appropriate school personnel to review and evaluate the reasons for the student's truancy. This meeting shall be held no later than ten (10) days after the student becomes truant. The district shall document the meeting, and if parent or other person declines to attend the meeting, or is otherwise is non responsive, that fact shall also be documented and the meeting shall proceed with school personnel in attendance.
b. When a student is truant, the Superintendent or his/her designee shall coordinate services with and referrals of students to community agencies providing child and family services, as appropriate. The district shall document efforts to contact and include families and to provide early intervention in truancy matters.
c. If the parent or other person having control of a student who is truant fails to attend the meeting held pursuant to subsection a., above, or otherwise fails to cooperate with the school in attempting to solve the truancy problem, the Superintendent shall file, within fifteen calendar days of such failure to attend the meeting or other failure to cooperate with the school in attempting to solve the truancy problem, for such truant a written complaint with the Superior Court pursuant to Conn. Gen. Stat. § 46b - 149 alleging the belief that the acts or omissions of the truant are such that his/her family is a family with service needs.
d. In addition to the procedures specified in subsections a through c above, a regular education student who is experiencing attendance problems should be referred to the building Child Study Team to consider the need for additional interventions and/or assistance. The Team will also consider whether the student should be referred to a planning and placement team ("PPT") meeting to review the student's need and eligibility for special education. A special education student who is experiencing attendance problems should be referred to a PPT meeting for program review.
e. If a FWSN petition is filed and the court orders an educational evaluation of the student, the district shall conduct an appropriate educational evaluation if no such evaluation has been performed within the preceding year.
i) For a regular education student, the educational evaluation will be conducted or arranged for by appropriate school personnel and coordinated through the Child Study Team. Upon completion of the evaluation of a regular education student, the Child Study Team shall review the evaluations and make appropriate recommendations for alternative procedures, programs or interventions. Such recommendations may include a referral of the student for further evaluation and/or consideration for special education eligibility.
ii) In the case of a student who requires or may require special education and related services, the district shall convene a PPT to determine what evaluations may be appropriate to assess any specific areas of concern. The PPT shall reconvene to review the evaluations and make appropriate recommendations regarding the student's need for special education services and the need, if any, to write and/or revise the student's individualized education program ("IEP").
I. Reports to the State Regarding Truancy Data:
Annually, each local and regional board of education shall include information regarding truancy in the strategic school profile report for each school under its jurisdiction and for the school district as a whole submitted to the Commissioner of Education. Measures of truancy include the type of data that is required to be collected by the Department of Education regarding attendance and unexcused absences in order for the department to comply with federal reporting requirements and the actions taken by the board of education to reduce truancy in the school district.
J. Attendance Records
All attendance records developed by the Board shall include the individual student's state-assigned student identifier (SASID).

Climate Leadership in LA: Interview with Jonathan Parfrey
Posted by Stef McDonald on June 22, 2017
Cross-posted on the Path to Positive Los Angeles blog.
Jonathan Parfrey is the founder and Executive Director of Climate Resolve and a speaker at Climate Day LA.
Tell us about your work on climate change.
Climate change is inevitable. I enjoy working to limit the extent of damage. Hey, what's life's purpose if not to reduce suffering? I'm lucky I get to work on climate change solutions in Los Angeles with a smart and dedicated staff.
What inspired you on your career path? And what or who inspires you now?
I was initially inspired by Mohandas Gandhi and Martin Luther King — now I'm inspired by Marcus Lemonis. (What does that say about me?)
What are the barriers you face in work — and what could make your job easier?
I have this tough relentless boss (wait, I am that boss.)
In truth, the greatest barrier in LA's fight against climate change is resources, or lack thereof — AKA money. Philanthropy in Los Angeles is curiously ambivalent about the city. "Is LA worth saving?" I wish folks would finally make up their minds and start investing in the Southland, just as philanthropists do in the Bay Area, New York, Chicago, Detroit, Cleveland, and Des Moines.
A genie grants you two wishes that will help fight climate change. What do you ask for? The third wish is for anything you want (sky's the limit!).
- Asynchronous condensers attached to the grid. Everywhere.
- CARB mandates the cleanup of LA's abandoned oil wells.
- Three hundred million Americans simultaneously experience glorious metanoia and instantaneously mature in understanding their connectedness with other people and species and the cosmos.


text: Chlorine in Drinking Water Why is chlorine in my drinking water? Chlorine has been used to disinfect water for consumption in the US since the early 1900's, leading to the virtual elimination of waterborne diseases and improved public health. It is extremely effective at killing pathogens and diseases, is inexpensive, easy to control and monitor, as well as it easily maintains a residual level in the water distribution that continues protecting drinking water supplies from pathogenic bacteria and organisms. This is why chlorine is considered one of the best disinfecting agents. If you have a private well then this may or may not be what you are using to disinfect your water supply, and you do have some choice in the matter. Some methods are ultra-violet, distillation, reverse osmosis, and chemical feeds (bromine, chlorine, chloramines, iodine, ozone, and etc.), but cost, availability, and your local water quality will be driving factors in the selection process. What are problems associated with having chlorine in my drinking water? The most obvious problem with chlorine as a disinfectant is that it can leave an unpleasant taste or smell, it dries out your skin and hair, as well as it alters the taste of your drinks (tea and coffee!). Chlorine isn't a carcinogen and not considered hazardous or harmful in the amounts used in our water supply. The potential issue with chlorine is that it will form disinfectant by-products (DBP). However, any type or form of chemical disinfectant used is going to have one form of DBP or another. This is all dependant on your specific water quality, methods of water treatment, and any number of other factors relevant to your area. Some of these DBPs are, or are thought to be, carcinogenic, while others will not be at all. Water quality will also change based on the season and other variables and is rarely the same year-round (there are some few places that have wells that are both deep and old with little seasonal change throughout the year). If you are on a well, your water quality may not be being monitored at all and will probably change more frequently without being noticed. Whereas "city water" will be treated based upon the water quality at that particular time it is monitored and tested. There are water quality regulations that must be met to ensure the water is drinkable. This means that the use of chlorine may increase or decrease, based on the results of the water quality test at that time. How can I remove or reduce chlorine from my water? Great-tasting water, with no odor, can be achieved using granular activated carbon, carbon block filtration, and/or membrane filtration (reverse osmosis filtration). These filters control and remove chlorine and odors from your drinking water supply and are typically installed at your point-of-use (POU). Your POU would be your faucet, therefore the filter system would be installed either above or below the counter. There are also the larger point-of-entry (POE) filtrations systems, meaning the whole house is filtered. How does carbon filtration work? Reverse osmosis filtration? Which is better? Carbon filtration is a very simple principle; it adsorbs chlorine (as well as many other impurities and odors), leaving no negative effects on your water supply. Adsorption takes place when your water comes in contact with the carbon filter. The carbon attracts the chlorine molecule from the water and it adheres to the surface of the carbon. A few factors that will influence the adsorption of chlorine is the temperature, pH balance and contact time. Adsorption of chlorine works best in the ranges from 40-55 degrees Fahrenheit (this is pretty typical unless you have warm surface water as your supply water) and with pH levels below 7.0. The contact time is something that really makes a difference with filtration. Mainly, the longer your water has contact with the carbon, the more chlorine molecules that are removed. So if you have a lot of chlorine, you'll want more contact time (slower flow and higher micron rating), although this does effect how much adsorptive surface area that is available. Once a carbon filter is "full", then it will no longer be effective and will need to be replaced. For filtration, carbon comes as granular activated carbon, carbon briquette (block), carbon-impregnated cellulose, and as a loose-type media. These are basically all cartridges with the exception of the loose carbon media* which comes in a large sack, not unlike rice or potassium. Each cartridge has slightly different variances in filtration size, how much they will be able to adsorb and how long they should be used (because they will eventually become "full" and not be effective any longer). Generally a lower micron rating (the lower the micron the more impurities that are filtered out) with lower flow rates (maximum contact time for greater filtration) will provide you with the best tasting water. You will find that the carbon block is the "best", followed by granular activated and finally carbon impregnated filters. * - Loose carbon media is used in much larger whole house filtration systems (POE), which is more complex and typically a part of your private well water treatment system. Cartridge filters are not able to do this and so are used as a single-use filter, and are then quickly and easily replaced. Reverse osmosis filtration is one of the highest levels of filtration that you can perform, and are also much more complicated than the carbon filters. Reverse osmosis systems operate much like our body's organs do (only in reverse), by forcing water through a thin membrane in the filter system removing nearly all particles leaving only pure water. There are grades of filters and each is rated by the amount of water desired on a gallons-per-day basis. Residential reverse osmosis filter systems come as 2, 3, 4, or 5 stage systems. This means that they have one membrane filter with other filter types added to help condition the water. They will always have a carbon pre-filter. You can then add a post filter and a sediment pre-filter followed by another carbon pre-filter to get to the 5 filtration stages. The reverse osmosis membrane by itself will not be able to remove chlorine. In fact, chlorine will actually destroy the membrane which is why the carbon filters come with the system. Add to this that you also need a bladder tank and a special water filter faucet with an air gap for it to all run properly. Not to mention that you should also have water that isn't harder than 3 grains per gallon, a water supply that is at least 35psi and pre-treated. A reverse osmosis filter system will also require annual maintenance and regular changing of filters and membranes (based on water usage) for it to function properly. Deciding which is "better" is certainly a personal choice tied to how much (or little) you want to filter out, what your local water conditions are and how much time you want to invest to maintain the unit (or having it professionally maintained for you). The carbon filters are great for removal of chlorine taste and odor and are a great value for the cartridge filters used for POU. They also come in larger sizes for whole house (POE) applications as well as the loose media filter systems. The loose media type is a little more complicated while the larger cartridges are less efficient than the smaller POU filter systems, but are great for removing bad taste and odor from your entire system (typically, they will have greater contact times and capacity). The reverse osmosis filter system is much more than your typical water filter. It has a higher cost both initially and for ongoing maintenance. It also requires you to understand more about water quality and to test your own water (unless you're paying for this as a service). However, it will provide you with nearly pure water to drink and you will be certain to protect your family from any possible contaminants.

Despite the fact that the Smart ForTwo has pretty much been a flop here in the United States (and understandably so), we Americans are slowly but surely warming up to intelligent little city cars. The Fiat 500, which got off to a slow start, is gaining traction; Scion is now pushing its miniscule iQ in all markets, and General Motors has just opened the gates on the Chevrolet Spark. But until widespread success in this segment is firmly on record, it's no secret that automakers are hesitant to bring over their smallest offerings. It's one thing to import hundred-thousand-dollar supercars, but when you're trying to compete with a low-price-point product, additional import costs only hurt the business case.
Elsewhere 'round the globe, Volkswagen is enjoying early success with its Up! minicar, the tiny runabout that was named 2012 World Car of the Year during the New York Auto Show. And since VW brought an Up! to the States in order to proudly take the stage during that Big Apple award ceremony, the automaker sent its worldly winner on a tour-de-America. We grabbed the keys for a few days during its stay in the Motor City.
We could litter this entire review with synonyms of "small" to describe the Up!'s stature, but we'll put it in some better perspective for you – it's nearly identical in size to the Fiat 500. The Up! is ever-so-slightly shorter in overall length, a tiny bit wider and 1.5 inches shorter in height, but rides on a wheelbase that's a full 5.3 inches longer than the Fiat. That added space between the axles not only gives the car the sort of short-overhang dimensions that we love, but aids massively in interior packaging efficiency. Attractive 15-inch alloy wheels wrapped in 185/55-series Continental ContiPremiumContact 2 tires fit snugly at all four corners, as well.
The end result is a small car that's as cute as a button with not a single offensive styling element to our eyes. We like the way the grille forms a big grin around the painted front bumper and that same design element is mimicked at the rear. The Up! isn't all bubbly like a Fiat 500, using more squared-off lines and a vertical glass hatch, but this lack of roundness goes the distance once you're inside.
That cabin is perhaps one of this runabout's biggest surprises, where Volkswagen decided to employ a straight-to-the-point, clean-and-simple, functional design scheme rather than some of the cutesy designs found on other small cars that just turn out to be complete ergonomic messes. Directly in front of you is a flat-bottomed steering wheel with no redundant audio controls that sits in front of a refreshingly basic instrument cluster. The only stalks and buttons within arm's reach feature minimal amounts of functions. To your right is a small control unit for the climate and audio functions with minimal amounts of buttons and knobs. It's all you need, and it works.
The Up! isn't all bubbly like a Fiat 500, using more squared-off lines and a vertical glass hatch.
As for niceties, this Up! packs more goodies than you might think just by looking at the interior. The small dash-mounted removable Navigon screen houses a whole host of infotainment features and, as its name suggests, navigation functionality, and those front cloth seats are even heated. They're cushy, too, though we'd eagerly welcome some additional bolstering for our American-sized backs and thighs.
For the remainder of the interior, the theme is functionality above all else. There are plenty of storage cubbies to be found in the center stack, doors and even the sills that flank the rear bench. Speaking of which, we had no issues climbing behind the front seats, and because of the high position of the front chairs, there's a good amount of toe room to keep you comfortable if you are forced into the back. We packed four adults into the Up! at one point without a single gripe to be heard. In addition to rear seats that fold flat, there's added storage space under the floor of the cargo area for a total of 33.6 cubic feet of usable space for your goods.
All in, the Up! offers a better-appointed and more spacious interior than what we find in the Fiat 500 or Chevrolet Spark, proving that while we can gripe all we want about the cost-cutting found in the North American-spec Jetta's cabin, Volkswagen does still know how to make a premium small car interior.
It's certainly not fast, this Up! – hitting 60 mph will take you a full 13 seconds (yes, even a Prius is quicker).
The automaker has employed a 1.0-liter three-cylinder engine here in the Up!, good for 75 horsepower and 70 pound-feet of torque. Miniscule numbers, no doubt, but it's fine for this 2,072-pound three-door hatchback. It's certainly not fast, this Up! – hitting 60 miles per hour will take you a full 13 seconds (yes, even a Prius is quicker) – but it isn't a total slowpoke, either. Being able to row your own gears with the five-speed manual transmission helps make the most of the limited power, too.
That said, the driving experience was not quite what we expected... in a good way. The Up! may use a gasoline-fed inline-three, but it has diesel-like characteristics – everything from the sound it makes to the power delivery. First gear is short and you'll want to shift sooner rather than later, but once you've plunked into second, there's a good deal of low-end grunt to get you going. The same goes for third gear, and the final two cogs are merely there to keep the revs down when you're cruising. The transmission itself is nicely tuned, though like many other Volkswagens, the clutch is a bit vague. The gearbox itself offers solid engagement, and while we can see the argument for wanting shorter throws while shifting, they don't feel unusually or unpleasantly long.
The driving experience was not quite what we expected... in a good way.
Even after you've counted to 13 and are coasting at 60 mph, the Up! doesn't tremble at the idea of being pushed farther. We had no issues cruising at 80 mph, and while driving through one heck of a rainstorm, the little Up! held its own with confidence and poise on the wide freeways surrounding Detroit. The upright design and low weight does mean there's a tendency to be tossed around by strong crosswinds, and even during pleasant weather, wind noise is no stranger in the spacious cabin.
As for fuel economy, the Up! absolutely excels here. Where a Fiat 500 won't even hit 40 miles per gallon with its 1.4-liter MultiAir inline-four, the Up! boasts city/highway numbers of 40 and 59 miles per gallon, respectively – converted from the EU cycle. During our few days of driving, we had no problem coasting just above the 50-mpg mark, making that absolutely best-in-class by a long shot compared to what's available here in the States.
During our few days of driving, we had no problem coasting just above the 50-mpg mark.
But what really sweetens this deal is just how rewarding the Up! is to drive. The steering is direct and linear, with good on-center feel and plenty of feedback. It's worlds better than what the Fiat offers. You run into a few issues with the short wheelbase when driving over uneven road surfaces – the Up! will bounce around a bit – but it's nothing unexpected for a car this size. Beyond that, the Up! offers a comfortable cruising ride for long drives on the highway. Once you're on twisty roads, don't be alarmed if you experience some body roll and understeer built in to the front-wheel-drive chassis, but again, it's nothing out of the ordinary for small cars. And even so, it's better than the lot of what's offered in this country. In fact, the li'l Up! could even give larger cars like the Honda Fit or Chevrolet Sonic a run for their money in terms of overall driver involvement.
But here's where this delicious piece of bite-size forbidden fruit turns bittersweet. Volkswagen has reiterated over and over again that it will not be selling the Up! in the United States. And if VW thought about taking the plunge on bringing over one of its sub-Golf offerings, more robust models like the Polo would certainly make more sense for our biggie-sized tastes.
And then there's the pricing issue. The bigger-is-better Jetta sedan starts at $16,675, so the Up! would need to come in below $15,000. But in order to do that, Volkswagen would likely need to move production of its minicar to North America – Mexico, probably – in order to keep cost down as much as possible. If the Up! could start under $14,000, that'd be gravy, but that's obviously easier said than done. And adding the necessary enhancements (read: weight) to meet U.S. crash and pedestrian standards would likely affect the car's excellent, flickable dynamics. It just doesn't make a whole lot of sense.
Sadly, the Volkswagen Up! might just be the best little car we can't have.

text: There are two well-known methods for transforming a non-binary CSP into a binary one; the dual graph encoding and the hidden variable encoding. Both encode the non-binary constraints to variables that have as domains the valid tuples of the constraints. That is, by building a binary encoding of a non-binary constraint we store the extensional representation of the constraint (the set of allowed tuples). A third method is the double encoding which combines the other two.

$25 Student Tickets for Syracuse On Sale Monday
Students who took advantage of the $45 Groupon deal are feeling like suckers today. Penn State announced that student tickets for the opening game against Syracuse on August 31 at MetLife Stadium will go on sale Monday for only $25.
Students can get a head start on the first day of classes by purchasing tickets starting at 7 a.m. at Gate B of the Bryce Jordan Center. Like all away game sales, it's cash only and you must have your ID+ card. Unlike most other away game sales, students will be able to purchase two tickets each for the Syracuse game.
If tickets are still available after 8 a.m. on Monday and you decide to sleep in, you can still buy them at the Athletic Ticket Office inside the BJC until they run out.
If I know Penn Staters, this game should be just like a home game for the Nittany Lions. What a better way to cross a Penn State football away game off your bucket list than this?

The comedy world was hit with another dose of tragic news this week, when legendary comedic actor, writer and director Harold Ramis passed away on Monday morning at the age of 69.
Now, when Sid Caesar passed away last week, numerous comedy legends found themselves taking to the airwaves to inform us what a truly influential figure Caesar was in shaping generations of comedy. And while many will do the same for Ramis, most of us will not need such a reminder.
As a writer, Ramis is responsible for cross-generational box-office hits like Ghostbusters, Groundhog Day, Caddyshack, Stripes, and just when you think that's it, it's like … oh yeah, fucking Animal House! And as a director, in addition to many of the films he himself wrote, he's responsible for bringing to the screen National Lampoon's Vacation, Analyze This, Multiplicity, and more. (More being Stuart Saves His Family.)
Get where I'm going with this? His track record is ridiculous, having created a large handful, maybe even two handfuls, of the greatest comedies of all time.
Harold Ramis (R) with longtime collaborator Bill Murray. In the wake of Ramis' death, Murray said, "He earned his keep on this planet. God bless him."
Never one to leave the spotlight, or perhaps because those who admired him refused to let him disappear, in recent years Ramis has taken smaller acting roles in films like Knocked Up, and even directed several episodes of NBC's The Office.
And I know what you're thinking: "DON'T FORGET ABOUT SCTV ,YOU IDIOT!" Well, I haven't. So please stop shouting. It's here.
So yeah, what follows is by no means a comprehensive list of Ramis' credits, but rather, just some quick key players. Something to spend a few minutes with before we all get back to whatever we happened to be doing before we heard this tragic, bummer-town news. Of course, if you're like me, what you happened to be doing was watching Groundhog Day again, because it was a Tuesday and you just like to watch good movies on Tuesdays.
SCTV — Writer, Actor (1976–78)
After early jobs as a joke writer for Playboy Magazine and a cast member on the main stage at Second City, Ramis became the head writer on an upstart comedy show you may have heard of called SCTV. In three years there, he created an institution and, of course, many legendary characters, including Officer Friendly, which you can watch below. It's highly recommended, as, you know, that's the whole point of this thing.
ANIMAL HOUSE — Writer (1978)
Having left SCTV for a career in film, Ramis teamed up with the National Lampoon Magazine's Doug McKinney to write a little film that would eventually be called Animal House. Animal House was the first screenplay that Ramis ever wrote to actually get made and it's just as great today as it was when it was released in 1978. If you want to know how great it was in 1978, just ask my dad, because growing up he never shut up about it. Ever.
Animal House made a star of John Belushi and even made playing the Kevin Bacon game that much easier. We all owe a lot to Animal House.
MEATBALLS — Writer (1979)
A comedy classic in its own right, Meatballs continued the trend of Ramis having people shove things into their mouth for comedic effect.
Take special note of how quickly these hits are being cranked out. It's pretty amazing.
CADDYSHACK — Writer, Director (1980)
We all know Caddyshack. We all love Caddyshack.
- Chevy.
- Murray.
- Rodney.
- Kenny (Loggins).
None of it happens without Ramis.
Below is a real cool behind-the-scenes feature about Caddyshack where everyone seems to be in surprisingly good spirits. It's a fun watch.
STRIPES — Actor, Writer (1981)
Honestly, it's starting to get ridiculous how good this part of Harold Ramis' career was. In Stripes, Bill Murray loses his job and convinces his good friend Harold Ramis to join the military with him. The characters have names which we all know because we've all seen this movie 100 times. Honestly, it's stupid. Stupid that I'm reminding you of this, not the movie. The movie's great.
If you haven't seen it, get on it. NOW. Here's the opening scene. We'll pick up when it's over.
NATIONAL LAMPOON'S VACATION — Director (1983)
Remember how this movie spawned seemingly a dozen sequels? Well, you have Harold Ramis to thank for that.
As an aspiring comedy writer, his output is mind-boggling to me. But then I'm like, "Wait, he only directed this one. That's not that impressive." Which, of course, is a lie, but it allows me to sleep at night and spend my weekend's watching True Detective, so I'm cool with it.
Damn, Harold Ramis was the best. The rest of us should perhaps consider alternative careers.
GHOSTBUSTERS — Actor, Writer (1984)
Here it is, folks. The one EVERYONE knows. Of course, everyone on Earth has heard of all these great films, but Ghostbusters is the movie you can be confident the aliens are aware of. It's that kind of movie. With every other movie, Ramis created just that, a movie. With Ghostbusters, he created a franchise. A business. An empire. Hell, maybe even a religion. One thing's for sure, he created a very large marshmallow man.
From a box-office standpoint, it's his biggest hit by far, grossing nearly $300 million worldwide, spawning one sequel, two animated TV spinoffs, and hopefully now that Ramis has passed away, no other future sequels. For Ghostbusters is nothing without Ramis and nothing without Egon Spengler.
Do yourselves a favor. DVR American Idol this week and, instead, go ahead and watch Ghostbusters for the 300th time. It will make you a better person.
Did all this get you so worked up and excited about Ghostbusters that you feel like singing? Here, take a few minutes. I'll join you.
GROUNDHOG DAY — Writer, Director (1993)
If I'm being honest, as great as Ghostbusters was, this is the masterpiece in the Harold Ramis oeuvre.
Groundhog Day is the story of a weatherman who finds himself living the same day over and over and over, perhaps for 10 years, perhaps for a thousand. A decent-sized hit upon its release, the film's reputation has been on a straight incline ever since. In 2013, the screenplay, co-written with Danny Rubin, ranked Number 27 on the Writer's Guild of America's 101 Greatest Screenplays of All Time. That's a fact I read, but refused to confirm, knowing that it would only anger me that there are apparently people who believe there are 26 greater screenplays.
Ramis is also responsible for having either written or directed the following things you spent your days watching over and over and over again over the last four decades.
- Back to School (1986)
- Stuart Saves His Family (1995)
- Armed and Dangerous (1986)
- Multiplicity (1996)
- Analyze This (1999)
- Year One (2009)
- Several episodes of TV's The Office ...
- AND SO MUCH MORE!!!! (Google it if you don't believe me)
Here's some deleted scenes from the "Beach Games" episode of The Office that Ramis' directed, because why the hell not, right?
In short, the world of comedy is now left with a giant, Harold Ramis–sized hole in it that may never be filled. And while we're left stuck here to deal with that, Harold Ramis must now move on to what better place there hopefully is out there. And for instructions on how to handle his new situation, he need look no further than himself.
If you've learned anything from this, we hope it's this: Go watch funny shit.

Upload: Etherpunk is a supplement for the Etherscope RPG from Goodman Games. The zipped file is 14.26 megabytes in size, and contains two PDFs; a full version of the book, and a printer-friendly version. Both PDFs are ninety-eight pages long, including two pages for the front and back covers, a page for the credits/legal, two pages for the table of contents, a page for the OGL, and two pages of ads. Each PDF has a hyperlinked table of contents, as well as bookmarks. Oddly, the bookmarks for the tables in the book are listed before each individual section. Moreover, the bookmarks in my copy of the full version of the PDF didn?t work.
Both PDFs have full-color covers, and black-and-white interior artwork throughout. The only difference between the two, in terms of graphics, is that the full version has backgrounds that grey at the edges of the page, and have borders along the top, bottom, and alternating sides. While removing those helps the printer-friendly version, removing the covers and interior art from it might have helped more.
Upload: Etherpunk is divided into four overarching chapters. The first chapter is short, explaining the theme of etherpunk as it?s used in your Etherscope game, as well as what makes an etherpunk-style character.
Chapter two covers new character traits, specifically giving eleven new talent trees, nine new fighting styles, and twenty-six new feats for your Etherscope character. It also has a brief section on the values that many etherpunk characters are likely to have.
Chapter three deals with classes. It presents twenty-four new advanced classes and six new prestige classes specific to Etherscope.
The last chapter of the book deals with all kinds of new gear. It presents a variety of new weapons, armor, and general equipment before moving into esoteric items such as new vehicles and new cybernaughtics, many of which also have several upgrade possibilities listed.
Ultimately, Upload: Etherpunk does a good job of expanding the options for Etherscope characters. The plethora of new options here builds on those in the main rulebook enough to make almost anything possible. The only problems with the book are technical ones. The odd bookmark listings, the pictures in the printer-friendly version and a few other minor problems are sources of minor frustration. These are relatively easy to overlook, however, in light of the usefulness of the book?s content. Players looking to trick out their characters will be served well with Upload: Etherpunk.
LIKED: This book did a good job of offering many new classes, combat styles, vehicles, and other options to expand on what's possible in the world of Etherscope.

DISLIKED: The printer-friendly version should have removed the covers and interior art as well as backgrounds and borders. Also, the bookmarks for the tables in the book should have been listed last, not first.

QUALITY: Very Good

VALUE: Very Satisfied

Understanding The Different Meanings Of White Roses
When it comes to white roses, there are many different meanings that come into play, and definitely more so than with any other type of rose. Before you actually purchase any white roses for yourself or for someone else, you are going to want to make sure that you understand the meanings of white roses first.
The Meanings Of White Roses
There are many different meanings of white roses, and for one, when you put a bouquet of white and red roses together, this signifies unity, and so if you really care about someone then you may want to consider giving them this type of bouquet of roses.
The basic meanings of white roses revolve around the fact that white roses signify purity and brightness, and with its pristine appearance, the white rose has come to symbolize innocence and security as well.
There are certain myths and legends from several different cultures relating to the origin of the first rose which is initially white in color and then miraculously transformed and oftentimes, the pure white rose was depicted as being stained by blood, or made to blush by a kiss.
As well, early traditions also used white roses as a symbol for true love, an association which would later result in becoming the hallmark of the red rose; however, white roses without a doubt continue to endure and retain their symbolism of innocence.
Furthermore white roses are associated with honor and reverence, which thus makes them a fitting and perfect memorial for a departed loved one. Funeral and sympathy arrangements are often filled with white roses, as they traditionally use these roses to fill the bouquet as part of the overall tribute.
While most of the long-established meanings of white roses are still quite commonly used even today, others have in fact tended to become less prevalent, and for example, white rosebuds are considered as being a traditional symbol for girlhood and carry an underlying message of one too young for love.
Before you choose any roses, particularly white roses, you really want to make sure that you are aware of the meanings behind them, so that you can get the appropriate rose for the specific occasion, and so that thus it will end up having the most meaning.
Just make sure that you do research on top of the previously discussed information, so that you can be as aware and informed as you possibly can be.

Last week, Statistician-General, Dr Pali Lehohla, released the Stats SA General Household survey for 2015 which among other things highlighted the country's ongoing dependence on various social grants. Countrywide 45.5% of households receive grants as their primary source of income.

Redwood City, CA (PRWEB) February 27, 2013
The patented SteriShoe® sanitizer, the first product to safely and effectively sanitize the inside of shoes through the use of germicidal ultraviolet light, is receiving widespread recognition from the medical community. The publication of a clinical study in a medical journal, a medical association's endorsement, and appearances on local and national television all give a nod to the ability of the SteriShoe® sanitizer to kill up to 99.9 percent of the germs that cause foot infections and shoe odor.
"The recognition for the SteriShoe® sanitizer highlights the need to sanitize shoes, proves that the product effectively addresses this need, and provides further credibility for doctors to incorporate the SteriShoe® sanitizer as part of their treatment protocol," says Adam Ullman President and CEO of Shoe Care Innovations, the company that makes the SteriShoe®.
The product has received a Seal of Acceptance from the American Podiatric Medical Association (APMA). According to APMA, the seal recognizes that the product has been found beneficial to foot health and of significant value when used in a consistently applied program of daily foot care and regular professional treatment.
Dr. Mahmoud Ghannoum of University Hospital at Case Western Reserve University conducted a clinical study to determine the ability of the SteriShoe® ultraviolet shoe sanitizer to decontaminate a shoe. The results showed that the SteriShoe® sanitizer destroyed, on average, over 80 percent of microorganisms in shoes and he indicated those "findings have implications regarding breaking the foot infection cycle."
Dr. Ghannoum's study was published in the Journal of the American Podiatric Medical Association in July 2012.
The SteriShoe® sanitizer has also received attention from the consumer media. It was featured on the nationally syndicated television program, "The Doctors" in January 2013 and in late 2012 on WPLG in Miami, Florida.
The patented SteriShoe® ultraviolet shoe sanitizer is the first product to safely and effectively sanitize the inside of shoes using germicidal ultraviolet (UVC) light. It is an important part of complete protocol for people who suffer from athlete's foot, toenail fungus or offensive shoe odor, as they should not step into contaminated environments that harbor the microorganisms that cause these ailments. It is also recommended for those with diabetes and anyone concerned about the general hygiene of their feet.
The SteriShoe® sanitizer is a product of Shoe Care Innovations, Inc., based in Redwood City, California. The company is a leader in providing a healthy in-shoe environment and the pioneer of UV shoe sanitation.

Reviewed By Jimmy S (Clayton, NC) Reviewed for a 2003 Ford Excursion —5/22/2015 7:32 PM
So a turbo excursion with lift, big tires,and big rims weighs about 8200lbs. But to these EBC brake pads I might as well be driving a Ferrari. Unloaded I was driving about 30 and stepped on the brakes hard and just stopped instantly. And then while towing my 5000lb boat to the beach today I never even gave it a thought on getting this setup to stop. Doing both front and rear at the same time was such a huge difference over the power stop pads I had on my slotted and drilled power stop rotors!
