Board of Directors
Chris Barbic
Chris is the founding superintendent of the state of Tennessee's Achievement School District, which was established to dramatically improve student outcomes in the state's lowest performing schools. The district currently serves 10,000 students in 33 schools and has been recognized as a national model for improvement. The school district outpaced the state in student test score growth in math and science between 2012 and 2015—at a time when Tennessee was the fastest-improving state in the country in student achievement gains—and made it possible for thousands of students to attend better performing schools.
Before leading the Achievement School District, Chris spent over a decade serving as founder and CEO of YES Prep Public Schools, a network of free, open-enrollment public charter schools in Houston, Texas. YES Prep has been a leader in expanding access to high-quality educational opportunities for students from low-income families since its inception in 1998. The network's 16 schools rank among the top-performing schools in the country, and more than 70 percent of YES Prep alumni are currently enrolled in college or have earned a college degree. Chris lives in Nashville with his wife, Natasha, and their two terrific children.

For anyone who enjoys the thrill and challenge of a good game of tennis, combining this favorite sport with a holiday can be an appealing option. Those in search of tennis holidays have traditionally headed for Florida, which is home to more tennis resorts than the whole of Europe combined. Enticing, but nevertheless a long haul destination, Florida is just not as convenient as Europe.
In recognition of this, short-haul tennis offerings have been increasing in number in recent years. This offers UK-based tennis-lovers like Gavin Manerowski plenty of options to maximize their time on court, and keep their time in the air to a minimum. Here are three of the best tennis-orientated resorts and hotels available closer to home.
1: Aphrodite Hills, Cyprus
This quality tennis academy boasts four championship standard courts where guests can play against a backdrop of stunning Mediterranean views. The academy offers group lessons, individual tuition and even a partner-matching service for guests who wish to extend their time on court beyond the training sessions. For non-playing partners the resort has a tempting spa, and an immaculate golf course, and there is a choice of accommodation in the form of luxury apartments and villas, or a five-star hotel.
2: Abama, Tenerife
Tenerife has long labored under the misconception that it is a down-market resort, but appears to be deep in a period of reinvention. The luxurious resort at Abama offers and exclusive tennis club and golfing facilities, along with a sumptuous spa; set on 395 acres and nestled between the mountains and the sea, the Abama resort is perfectly placed to offer guests the best of everything Tenerife has to offer. Daily tennis coaching in groups is available on a pick-and-mix option that can deliver up to six hours of guided court time each day, plus one-on-one lessons if desired.
3: La Manga, Murcia
The scale of this Spanish tennis heaven is quite staggering – with 28 courts there is no shortage of play time, and with the number of players on site it is easy to find opponents of a similar playing standard. After a nail-biting assessment on day one, course attendees are divided into groups of similar expertise for two-hourly coaching sessions each weekday morning. The rest of the time is dedicated to free play, or as much rest and relaxation as guests choose, perfect for travelers like Gavin Manerowski who enjoy exploring their holiday destination as well as indulging their love of the sport. This resort offers accommodation for a range of budgets, and also caters for children, with junior training sessions, and a handy crèche for the tiniest guests.

NCSU's sixth annual Krispy Kreme Challenge expects to draw 6,000 runners and raise more than $40,000 for N.C. Children's Hospital
Wednesday, February 3, 2010 — One hour. Four miles. Twelve doughnuts. 2400 calories. Tens of thousands of dollars for North Carolina Children's Hospital!
North Carolina State University's newest (and perhaps most infamous) tradition, the Krispy Kreme Challenge, returns for a sixth year on Saturday, Feb. 6, with 6,000 racers poised to devour more than 72,000 glazed donuts and raise at least $40,000 for N.C. Children's Hospital. Beginning at the N.C. State Bell Tower, challengers run two miles to the Krispy Kreme store located on Peace Street in Raleigh and, after downing a dozen Krispy Kreme doughnuts, must run the two miles back. To successfully complete the Challenge, participants must complete the entire race, doughnuts and all, in less than 60 minutes.
"Doctors don't often advocate the consumption of doughnuts, but the Krispy Kreme Challenge is the one time of year I'm willing to make an exception," jokes Dr. Alan Stiles, N.C. Children's Hospital's physician in chief. "Kidding aside, we anticipate this year's race to bring the Challenge's overall fundraising total well past the $100,000 mark—all raised by N.C. State students. It's amazing what these young people are doing, and the impacts are felt long after the last runner crosses the finish line."
The Krispy Kreme Challenge started as a dare among ten N.C. State students in Dec. 2004. After receiving coverage from campus newspapers and being ranked 85th on Sports Illustrated's "102 More Things You Gotta Do Before You Graduate" list, student organizers decided to capitalize on the zany event's ability to draw crowds and attention by turning the Challenge into a fundraiser for N.C. Children's Hospital.
Since its humble beginnings, this ultimate collegiate challenge has seen nearly exponential growth, both in terms of the number of participants and the money raised. The second annual Krispy Kreme Challenge in Jan. 2006 drew more than 150 runners and netted $800 for N.C. Children's Hospital. The third annual Challenge in Jan. 2007 had 1,400 racers and raised more than $10,000 for the Children's Hospital. Participation for the fourth annual Challenge more than doubled to 3,000 participants, raising $20,000 in Feb. 2008, and last year's Challenge drew more than 5,000 participants and resulted in a $40,000 donation to the Children's Hospital.
Registration for the sixth annual Krispy Kreme Challenge closed almost two weeks before the big event when online registration reached full capacity at 6,000 registrants, the largest pool of runners to date. The record sell-out left hundreds more clamoring to partake in the race but, with registration limited by City of Raleigh, they will have to wait until 2011 for their shot at competing in the Challenge.
The K2 Challenge attracts a wide range of runners from beginners to serious competitors hailing from all corners of the country. Runners compete in one of two categories. "Challengers" commit to eating the full dozen doughnuts, while "Casual Runners" pay the same registration fee ($17, which includes a race day number, doughnuts and a t-shirt) but eat as few doughnuts as they choose. The field is almost evenly split between the two categories, slightly favoring the Casual Runner option.
The race portion of the Krispy Kreme Challenge will start at 8:30 a.m. on Saturday, Feb. 6, at the N.C. State Bell Tower, with a pre-event presentation beginning at 8 a.m. Members of the press and the public are invited to cover this unique event. Spectators often arrive at the Peace Street Krispy Kreme store as early as 7 a.m. in anticipation of the doughnut-eating spectacle, while others congregate at the N.C. State Bell Tower to witness the beginning and end of the race.
For more information about the Krispy Kreme Challenge, please visit www.krispykremechallenge.com. The site features a map of the running route and online store where would-be supporters can purchase Challenge merchandise, including $10 supporter T-shirts, with proceeds benefiting N.C. Children's Hospital.

Hunter Thompson
The minuteman of the Rockies.
In early August of 1990 I went to Aspen, Colo., to cover what looked as if it would be a rather banal summit involving Margaret Thatcher and George Bush. (The meeting was to be enlivened by the announcement of the forcible annexation of Kuwait by Saddam Hussein, who would go on to trouble our tranquility for another 13 years.) While the banal bit was still going on, the city invited the visiting press hacks for a cocktail reception at the top of an imposing mountain. Stepping off the ski lift, I was met by immaculate specimens of young American womanhood, holding silver trays and flashing perfect dentition. What would I like? I thought a gin and tonic would meet the case. "Sir, that would be inappropriate." In what respect? "At this altitude gin would be very much more toxic than at ground level." In that case, I said, make it a double.
The very slight contraction of the freeze-frame smile made it plain that I was wasting my time: It was the early days of the brave new America that knew what was best for you. Spurning the chardonnay and stepping straight back onto the ski lift, I was soon back in town and then, after a short drive, making a turn opposite the Woody Creek Inn (easily spotted by the pig on its roof). And there, at the very fringe of habitation, was Owl Farm and its genial proprietor, Dr. Hunter S. Thompson. Once inside these well-armed precincts, I could drink and smoke and ingest any damn thing I liked. I finished a fairly long evening by doing some friendly target-practice, with laser-guided high-velocity rifles, in the company of my host. An empty bottle didn't stand any more of a chance outside than a full one would have had within. It was vertiginous, for me, to be able to move from one America to another, in point of time and also of place, so rapidly.
It had been in 1970 that Thompson first ran for local office in Aspen, and stood against the wave of bourgeoisification that would soon make it a place where the locals could no longer afford to live. Local police officials tried to harass him in numberless ways, only to find that they were dealing not with some hippie or freak, but with one of the charter members of the Colorado National Rifle Association. Thompson was to pursue this feud, with absolutely Corsican persistence, for many decades. If he had done nothing else, he might be remembered as a village Hampden, or a minuteman of the Rockies.
But, as Carey McWilliams of The Nation had recognized a long time before, Hunter was more than just a "character." His proposal to write about the Hell's Angels for the magazine, once accepted, was more than a brilliant piece of observant and participant journalism. It helped to curtain-raise the '60s, and perhaps most especially the hectic excess of that decade in California. Keen as he was on the herbivorous and antimilitarist side of that moment, Thompson wasn't at all blind to the noir aspect, and helped prepare readers for the Manson and Altamont dimension. He'd been in this mood since at least November 22, 1963, when he first employed the words "fear and loathing" to express the way he felt about whomever it was who had murdered the president.
"The only things I've ever been arrested for," said Hunter in one late interview, "were things I didn't do." It would take a very long article to describe all the deeds for which he could have been indicted, and all the days and nights when he could well have ended up dead. I hope that it isn't true that he became depressed and miserable about the pain and immobility of a broken leg, and that the only lethal crime he ever committed was against himself in a dark hour, but the thing seems depressingly plausible, and there would always have been a firearm, and ammo, within easy reach.
I'm not that crazy about the gonzo school, or any other version of the new journalism either, but Thompson's signature style was not always, or not entirely, about faxing unedited notes or having his life insurance cancelled by Jann Wenner. He was, above all, a highly polished hater, and could fuel himself as well as ignite others with his sheer contempt for Richard Nixon and all that he stood for. This involved, for some years, a life where there was almost no distance between belief and action. And it is why his 1972 book on the campaign trail holds up so well. But even then he knew, as he was to keep repeating, that "the wave" of the insurgent '60s— "a fantastic, universal sense that whatever we were doing was right: that we were winning"—was a wave that had not only "broken" but had "rolled back."
This was a rapture that was hard to recapture. In Wayne Ewing's oddly effective movie, Breakfast with Hunter, it is possible to detect the sensation of diminishing returns. The old enrage doesn't really look that comfortable as he is card-indexed by the historian Douglas Brinkley (who edited his collected letters, for Chrissake) or venerated as an icon by George Plimpton. He doesn't even seem all that keen on being played by Johnny Depp in the celluloid version of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. He's fine when hanging out with Warren Zevon, but he appears a bit lost when he's discharging fire extinguishers, or hurling blown-up fuck-dolls around the scenery, as if this sort of thing was expected of him. "He was never one to hang around when it was time to go," a mutual friend e-mailed me on Monday. The realization that this might have occurred to him before it occurred to us is a very melancholy one.

He admitted that the age gap was "a little excessive," but said that his partner brought him "continuous joy".
In the same interview, the former Prime Minister confirmed his plans to stand for election once more.

Altogether 1,605 polling stations have been set up for the constituency of which only two have been identified as very vulnerable, 486 as vulnerable.
At least two former ULFA militants are in the fray in the first phase. Hari Prasad Dihingiya was, till a few years ago, the district commander in Dhemaji, where 12 schoolchildren died in a blast on Independence Day a decade back. Dihingiya, now an AGP candidate, is contesting from Lakhimpur which includes Dhemaji.
A total of 51 candidates are in the fray in the five constituencies of Assam, including union ministers of state Paban Singh Ghatowar (Dibrugarh) and Ranee Narah (Lakhimpur), state BJP chief Sarbananda Sonowal (Lakhimpur), former union minister B K Handique (Jorhat) and Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi's son Gourav Gogoi (Kaliabor).

Skyline Acres is your basic quiet, established Madison neighborhood. The problem for neighbors in Skyline Acres is the street they use to leave and enter the neighborhood. Stella Drive intersects with busy Slaughter Road. "It's terrible, it's awful," says neighbor Amanda Turner.
The problem for Stella Drive, is that it's at the bottom of a hill on Slaughter as drivers head south toward Old Madison Pike. The crest of the hill is about 50-yards to the north of the intersection. Drivers really don't see Stella till they're almost upon it.. "I think about my neighbor, and I sit and wait now for several minutes to make sure there's not a care coming over the hill says Amanda.
She's remembering a recent wreck at the intersection that injured her next door neighbor. Joan Monger also remembers it. "You're taking your life into your hands to try to get across there," says Joan.
Both Joan and Amanda believe speeders on Slaughter road make the intersection dangerous. We used our radar gun, and we did catch drivers going 50 in a 45-mile an hour zone. That five miles an hour is significant, because the stopping distance going 50 is about 200 feet. That means a driver hitting the brakes would still go well through the intersection before stopping.
There is a sign for drivers going south on Slaughter Road, warning them of a hidden drive. I asked Amanda if it works. "No, no, no, and it's just for one way," says Amanda Turner.
There is no sign warning drivers heading in the other direction on Slaughter, and while there is a hill south of the intersection, it's not near the danger the other hill is. Still, the situation warrants a close examination by traffic engineers, and that's why we're taking action and discussing it with the city of Madison.

Lady Antebellum are set to thrill fans at the CMT Awards on Wednesday (06Jun12) by teaming up with Hot Chelle Rae.
The Need You Now trio has recruited the pop-rock group to join them onstage for a surprise performance at the country prizegiving, which will air live from Nashville, Tennessee.
Hot Chelle Rae guitarist Nash Overstreet hinted about the project in a Yahoo! interview, but stopped short of revealing exactly what the special collaboration would entail.
He says, "We're going to be joining some of our friends, Lady Antebellum, which we're really excited about. They had this little idea they came up with that involves us and we can't say what exactly that is, so you're going to have to wait and find out... Who knows what's going to happen?"
Singer Ryan Follese admits the two groups go way back, adding, "I actually met Hillary (Scott) when she moved to town to be a solo artist and I was doing solo stuff at the same time. We've been listening to each other's music without even knowing what was going to happen for years and years. So this is really full circle for us... We can't give away the big reveal but it's going to be exciting and I think everyone's going to freak out."

Armstrong Atlantic State

text: Okay, after some thought I think I have come up with a good approach. The working title for the book is The Footsteps of Amos: From Stretford to Melbourne and it will cover the period from when the first Bannister moved to Stretford up until when my great-great-grandfather, George Amos BANNISTER emigrated to Australia. I will include events up to and including his death, but no further. This will tell an interesting story of the "Stretford years" and should allay some fears that had previously been expressed by some family members over their privacy. Time permitting I will try to produce a couple of smallish pamphlets covering some of the more interesting stories from the Melbourne clan as I have a lot of newspaper articles from Melbourne newspapers in the late 1800s and early 1900s which I would love to share. I will also attempt to produce a chart showing George Amos' descendants, but with no dates - I think it would be good to know where we all fit into the tree and what our relationships to each other are.

Should You Get a Bug Out Vehicle With a Gasoline or Diesel Engine?
If you are looking for the ideal bug out vehicle, you really need to consider much more than just the vehicle brand, whether or not it's a 4×4, and other common considerations. One thing that most people tend to overlook is the type of fuel the vehicle uses. In other words, should you go with a bug out vehicle with a gasoline engine or one that uses diesel? Diesel powered vehicles have quite a few advantages over their gasoline powered brethren. It is these advantages that make them ideally suited for bug out vehicles. Let's take a look at these advantages.
First, it's important to realize that diesel fuel will keep for a longer period of time than gasoline. If stored properly in a clean, cool, and dry location, it will stay fresh for up to a year without the use of fuel stabilizers. Diesel fuel may be stored for as long as five years if proper fuel stabilizers are used such as Diesel STA-BIL and STA-BIL Biocide. Gasoline, on the other hand, will only stay fresh for a few months when stored in a gas can. Of course, the life of the gas can be prolonged with the use of fuel stabilizers. The longer gasoline is exposed to air and higher temperatures, the shorter its shelf life will be. That's the reason why so many people have to put fresh gasoline in their lawnmowers after being stored for the winter.
Another advantage to consider is the fact that diesel engines deliver up to 40% better fuel economy than their gasoline powered counterparts. And better fuel economy means you can go much further on your fuel reserves. Diesel engines are also considered to be much more reliable than gasoline engines. This is one of the reasons why most large trucks are powered by diesel engines. It is not uncommon for a diesel-powered rig to accumulate over 300,000 miles before needing an engine overhaul. And not only that, but there are many trucks that have had their diesel engines overhauled several times and have accumulated over 1,000,000 miles on their odometers!
Diesel engines produce more torque (or pulling power) than gasoline engines. This is another major advantage they have over gasoline powered vehicles and is also one of the main reasons why heavy equipment and trucks use diesel engines. It's all about the power.
One of the primary reasons why diesel engines are more reliable is that they have fewer parts overall than gasoline engines. They are much simpler engines. Diesel engines, for example, don't have ignition systems. They have simple glow plugs that heat the diesel fuel to burn it instead of the complex spark/ignition systems that gasoline engines use that utilize carefully-timed sparks to ignite the fuel each time it enters a fuel chamber. The simple design also allows diesel engines to run much cooler than gasoline engines. It is the simple design of the diesel engine that makes it so reliable.
If a major catastrophe happens, gasoline will most likely sell out much more quickly than diesel fuel. This is because the vast majority of vehicles sold in the United States are powered by gasoline due to the stringent EPA exhaust requirements. Diesel passenger vehicles make up approximately 2.88 percent of all vehicles in the United States. In a major national or world emergency, everyone will be racing to fill up on gasoline, and not necessarily diesel, leaving plenty for those with diesel engines.
Diesel fuel is much safer to store than gasoline. One of the reasons for this is the fact that diesel fuel does not emit vapors like gasoline does. Also, keep in mind that diesel fuel does not explode like gasoline does. Diesel fuel burns. If a spark lands on some diesel fuel, it isn't going to explode. It still might ignite and start burning, but that's a preferable alternative to a large explosion, which is what could happen if a spark landed in a container of gasoline.
Diesel engines also allow for the use of a broad range of fuels, not just the diesel fuel you buy at your local gas station. Diesel engines can run on different blends of bio-diesel, home heating oil, kerosene, jet fuel, unused vegetable oil, used vegetable oil, motor oil, automatic transmission fluid and hydraulic oil. Many people who own diesel-powered vehicles make arrangements with local restaurants to collect their waste vegetable oil and make bio-diesel out of it for pennies on the dollar. And still others power their vehicles with straight vegetable oil, after carefully filtering it. Yes, it does require some of your spare time to make bio-diesel, but you can literally save many thousands of dollars in fuel costs over the life of your vehicle.
It's important to realize that diesel engines do have some negative aspects that you should consider. First, diesel engines are more difficult to work on and parts may be more difficult to find than gasoline engine parts. Diesel engines are more difficult to work on because they rely on high-compression cylinders, whereas gasoline engines use cylinders with much lower compression ratios. Also, because so few engines in the United States are diesel-powered, replacement parts are not as plentiful and will be more difficult to come by.
Another negative aspect of diesel engines is that they can be noisier than gasoline engines. Not all of them, though. Some of the newer diesel engines are just as quiet as gasoline engines, but there are still plenty on the market that are louder.
Yet another negative thing about diesel engines to consider is that diesel fuel can be very messy. If you've ever gotten some diesel fuel on your hands, you surely know how difficult it is to remove. It is greasy, smelly, and requires multiple hand washing to finally feel free of the diesel funk. If you get some gasoline on your hands, in contrast, it quickly evaporates, leaving a gas smell that can be easily washed off with a couple of washings. Diesel fuel, however, is very thick (like syrup) and can be very difficult (if not impossible) to remove from clothing.
Although the diesel engine is not without its negatives, the positive aspects of the engines make it a strong contender for any bug out vehicle. It's positive attributes are so strong, in fact, that many motorcycle owners are now switching out their gasoline bike engines for aftermarket diesels.
If you are in the market for a vehicle you plan to keep for bug out purposes, definitely consider one with a diesel engine. They are powerful, fuel efficient, and are very reliable. And you can even make your own bio-diesel fuel. What's not to like about that?

Zamfara State High Court sitting in Gusau, the state capital, on Thursday, granted N100 million bail to former governor of the state, Senator Ahmed Sani who was brought to court by the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) over mismanagement of N1 billion meant for the repairs of Gusau dam.
Sani, who was brought to the court alongside three other suspects, was facing 19-count charges filed in by the ICPC.
On reading the charges before the court presided over by Justice Bello Muhammad Shinkafi, counsel to the plaintiff, A. I. Raheem, alleged that the first accused had committed offences contrary to and punishable under sections 25 (1) (a) and 26 (C) of the Corrupt Practices and other related Offences Act 2000.
However, counsel to the defendants, Mahmud Abubakar, argued that he was in court to seek for bail for his clients, saying "the court should grant unconditional bail for the accused."
In his ruling, Justice Shinkafi granted the accused persons bail but however refused to heed to their prayers that the bail should be unconditional. He laid conditions for the bail which included N100 million and two sureties out of which one must be a resident of Gusau and be in possession of a property worth N150 million.

The new office space of the 21st century is the on-the-go space. In fact, it is anticipated that by 2013 more people will use their mobile phones than their PC to get online. What does this mean for your business? It means your customers are going mobile —are you?
The good news is, getting your business mobile ready isn't as hard as you think. Here are six tips to get you started:
1. Redirect: Implement a mobile site redirect so that users accessing from a mobile device will automatically be redirected to a simplified, mobile-friendly version of your site. If using WordPress to power your web site or blog, there are numerous plugins to help you accomplish this task.
2. Condense and Compress: Make sure your images are compressed for quick loading and your text condensed for easy reading.
3. Finger Clickin' Good: Remember that people use their fingers to browse on mobile devices so create buttons are large enough to be clicked with a finger tip.
4. Local: Place your phone number and location(s) on the landing page so people don't have to struggle to find or contact you.
5. Lose the Flash: Avoid using Flash as it doesn't work on many mobile devices. HTML5 is the best choice for animation.
6. Link Home: Include a link for users to have the option to visit your full web site.
I also suggest visiting www.howtogomo.com, a handy Google site, that can help you get on track. You can even take a test drive of your current web site to see how it is currently performing on mobile devices and discover exactly what changes need to be made for your business to go mobile.

Nominations would be based on the national popular vote.
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - Frustrated with Florida's troubled Democratic presidential primary, Sen. Bill Nelson is proposing a new nominating process and presidential elections based on the national popular vote rather than the Electoral College.
Nelson, who sued his own party in a failed effort to force the Democratic National Committee to recognize Florida's Jan. 29 primary, will tell state lawmakers Thursday he plans to file an election bill that attempts to fix the election process.
"If nothing else, this election has provided further evidence that our system is broken," Nelson will say according to an advance copy of the speech obtained by The Associated Press.
He also plans to propose six, rotating interregional primaries in a bill that would also require early voting in every state, a paper trail for every ballot and the availability of absentee ballots for all voters. It would also set up grants to develop mail-in and Internet voting.
The DNC stripped Florida of its delegates because it held a Jan. 29 primary, which violated party rules that only allow Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada and South Carolina to vote before Feb. 5. Michigan was also stripped of its delegates for holding an early election.
Nelson and other Florida Democrats want to resolve the dispute so the state can be represented at the nominating convention, but so far the state and national parties and Sens. Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama haven't been able to agree on a solution.
Nelson suggested a mail-in revote, but the idea wasn't embraced by state party leaders. He is now suggesting Florida's delegates be awarded based on the Jan. 29 election, which Clinton won, but only be given half a vote.
"My fight has been based on the principle that in America every citizen has an equal right to vote. It is based on a premise that Floridians are entitled to have their votes count as intended. And it is based on a belief that we all deserve a say in picking our presidential nominees," Nelson says in his remarks.
Sen. Mel Martinez, R-Fla., who met with state lawmakers and Gov. Charlie Crist Wednesday, also said Congress should do something to fix the nominating process. He said he likes the idea of dividing the country into regions that cluster their primaries, and then rotating when the regions vote.
"The unruly situation that we had this year should not happen again and we ought to have a more organized process. I will be thinking about it and trying to come up with ideas," Martinez said.

Turning cold war into wind power
Wind turbines for the urban jungle, courtesy of underemployed Russian rocket scientists.
(Business 2.0 Magazine) -- What do you do with a Soviet-era military facility that develops submarine-launched ICBMs? A San Francisco Bay Area entrepreneur has a novel answer: Turn it into a wind-turbine research plant for his company.
Rick Halstead, president of Empire Magnetics, was doing development work with Lawrence Berkeley National Lab in 2001 when he heard about the Makeyev State Rocket Center near Russia's southern border. Like a lot of former Soviet weaponry experts, the Ph.D.-level engineers who worked there had abruptly found themselves without a customer for their missile systems in the late 1980s.
So they began researching wind-power technology. Intrigued, Halstead visited the top-secret facility -- "I was one of three Americans who had ever been there," he recalls -- and helped get a grant for their work from the U.S. Department of Energy.
The result: 99 of the Makeyev engineers are now employees of Wind-Sail, an Empire spin-off based in Rohnert Park, Calif. As soon as red tape is cleared, the company will begin building vertical-axis turbines on Treasure Island in San Francisco Bay. Wind-Sail is raising as much as $8 million to ramp up to mass production by 2008 in hopes of making a dent in the small-wind-power market, which is projected to grow to $1 billion by 2020.To send a letter to the editor about this story, click here.

Hospitality Management Program welcomes area high school students
March 21, 2017
The Hospitality Management Program had a second Open House this semester, hosting 79 students from local high schools in the Crystal Room Bistro on Monday. President Matthew Wilson was on hand to address the students. Those attending also learned more about the career opportunities available in a variety of areas in the hospitality industry.
Seventy percent of our students are employed by the time they graduate, noted Dr. Jamal Feerasta, professor and program director. In 2016, the hospitality and tourism industry generate more than $1.2 trillion to the national economy — approximately 6.6 percent of the gross domestic product.

About 8 years ago when my relationship with Matthew was still young, we happened upon a tag sale that looked promising. Never one to pass up a promising tag sale I whimpered until he turned around, which didn't take long. As I said, our relationship was very young. At this tag sale I found a hoosier cabinet for $60. It was in pretty rough shape and I had no where to put it much less had a use for it. Matthew nicely encouraged me to buy it seeing how happy it made me and I did.
7 years later it was still living in the basement, collecting basement smells and all manner of random basement type dwellers: archives, paints, books, baby shoes, etc. I was ready to give it away when we bought the family A-Frame and since I am not one to give anything away unless I have tried my very hardest to figure out what to do with it, I figured I'd bring it up and see if it would work there.
A year passed by and it was still on the back porch, collecting mice. Just as I was about to throw it in the burn pile I thought, "Well, I'll see if my grandparents sink fits in the bottom part of it since we have no money left and I'd like to have a sink this summer." Can you guess what happened? You are very smart. It fit like a glove. Like a perfect lady glove on a perfect lady hand.
So then I thought, "Let's see if the top half can be put anywhere useful." Do you know what happened? Holy shit you are so smart.
I set about cleaning and painting it with whatever leftover paints I had from previous projects and:
Cheery, huh? I had originally thought I'd just go all white but that's the great thing about not having any money sometimes; awesome things come together, and cheap. I found the rag rugs at the local Goodwill for $4 a piece and I knew they'd be perfect. I think I'll sew them together. Now every time I see this kitchen I get all cozy-happy inside and I want to make people pink lemonade and bake them cupcakes.

Muffin for breakfast
AHHH! When will I see a damn change on the scales? I was so frustrated this morning I went and ate a blueberry muffin for breakfast. It didn't even taste that good and made me feel really full. It is now mid afternoon, I've been out for coffee with a friend, had a skinny cap and I still feel full. Tonight is take-away night. Usually we've had Subway and it fits into my points. Because I'm feeling so annoyed about not losing another kilo, I feel like having KFC. But I don't know if I can go another day without seeing those scales move. It's almost like I want to have KFC to get back at the scales, stupid isn't it? I really should have a WW meal for dinner and go for a walk. I only have 9 days to lose the 2kg. How can I do it? It doesn't seem possible.
