Katharina entered in, and Reginald knew that it was over. He pushed Rosalyn behind him, and then backed up.
"You get away from my daughter. She doesn't want to come with you."
Katharina put the door back in its place, and didn't make any move toward them. "I'm not going to try anything. I'm pretty sure that your daughter's powers are stress-triggered, and I have no intention of starting her up. I'm here only to talk."
"Why should we believe you?" said Reginald.
"Because if I am lying, then I didn't come alone, and there are more augments outside waiting to arrest your daughter."
"I'll fight them off," said Rosalyn.
"I honestly believe that you will. But do you really want to spend the rest of your life fighting and running, Rosalyn? Reginald, do you want that life for your granddaughter?"
Katharina saw the Bible on the table. She levitated it into her hand.
"We're you reading the Bible? Do you know the verse that says 'Come, let us reason together'? That's all I want to do now."
"You know the Bible?" said Reginald.
"I used that verse a lot back in the days when church leaders wanted me burned at the stake."
"What?" said Rosalyn.
"I will explain, Rosalyn. Please give me the chance."
"No!" Before Reginald could stop her, Rosalyn ran up to Katharina and pushed her. Katharina thought that she might be blown backward, but she easily held her ground. Rosalyn's push was as strong as any little girl of her age.
Rosalyn pushed again, but had the same effect. She then turned to her grandfather. Even though Katharina could not see Rosalyn's face, Katharina could tell that Rosalyn's face was saying: "It's not working. What do I do now?"
"I suppose that I could capture you now."
Rosalyn quickly ran to her father's arms. She was crying.
"No, I meant to say that I'm not. Oh no."
"If you aren't here to arrest us, then let us leave," said Reginald.
"Mr. Jerger, the FAO is very good at finding people that they believe are illegal augments. If I let you go now, then I can't guarantee you will get far before someone else captures you."
"How did you find us?"
"I have an ability to turn invisible. Actually, it is a camouflage. My skin has been regrafted on me so I'm like a chameleon. It's an ability that only I have, but my father is trying to put it on others by an easier means. I stayed behind you until Rosalyn stopped, and you didn't see me."
"Have you been listening to us the whole time?" said Rosalyn.
"Yes," Katharina looked at Rosalyn. "Do you really believe that God gave you your powers?"
"It seems that way."
"Miss Katharina," said Reginald, "I remember seeing you on television talk about how people in the Bible and other religions must have been somehow early examples of augmentation. You said it was the reason why such legends exist. My granddaughter has her power from God, and He is not mythical."
Once again, Katharina heard a story that she could not believe, and yet the teller was stating the complete truth.
"So you're saying that your granddaughter is somehow sourced in God for her powers? You really are going with that?"
"Can your men do what she does?"
"To some degree, yes."
"So you can heal people to some degree?"
"My father has been wanting to do that one since day one. Are you saying that your granddaughter can do that?"
"She did it to me. Your men shot me full of those tranquilizer darts. I could have died. My granddaughter prayed for me, and I'm well again."
Katharina still couldn't believe it, but Reginald was not lying.
"If this is the case, Mr. Jerger, than I believe we need a better plan. We can't have your granddaughter go out like that with tears in her eyes. Perhaps it would help if I told her a story. I think it might help both you and me too."

Kacey Musgraves proved she's number-one material by debuting at the top of the Billboard charts.
Pageant Material, Musgraves' sophomore album, sold almost 55,000 units in its first week of release. The highly-anticipated album follows in the footsteps of her 2013 debut, Same Trailer, Different Park, which also made it to number one during its first week.
Since the March release of its catchy lead single, "Biscuits", the industry has been abuzz with anticipation for the album. Pageant Material has received overwhelmingly positive reviews from many critics and publications, including American Songwriter, Billboard and Rolling Stone.
READ MORE: Despite Flaws, 'Pageant Material' Is One of the Best Albums of the Decade
Country fans aren't the only ones rapidly grabbing their own copies of Musgraves' latest album. Pageant Material also made it to number three on the all-genre Billboard album chart, pushing Taylor Swift's pop-centric album, 1989, to number four by just a few thousand copies. With a solid track listing and a huge amount of support from fans and industry colleagues alike, it's likely Pageant Material will be on the charts for weeks to come.
Musgraves recently announced dates for the Kacey Musgraves Country & Western Rhinestone Revue, which kicks off Aug. 27 in Atlanta. For ticket information and a full list of tour dates, visit her official website.

Sanford Burial Ground is a small plot of land along Sport Hill Road in Redding, Connecticut, past Lyon Cemetery, if you are heading north. This is the Sanford family plot; there is no sign identifying the property. Approximately 46 burials date from the 1820s through 1940. Since the gate was shut, I did not enter the cemetery. I have two close-up photos of the burial ground (below) and a shot from across the street (above), but I did not take any photos of individual stones.
Photos were taken 12 December 2008.

text: I have sadly neglected my blog for quite some time again! This past year (2016) has been a very eventful and fascinating year in my art life! A couple of years ago I had an opportunity to license a painting of some whimsical snow carolers. They were printed on popcorn tins during the Christmas shopping season of 2014 and 2015. It was delightful to see this happen, but I have had some of my work licensed for other products during 2015 and 2016 and amazingly these works have been printed on things like dishes,rugs, pillows, fabric, and so forth. To tell you about this is way too long and boring, which brings me to the next series of blog posts. They are fascinating to me, because I'm Only An Artist, but I admire quilters so very much. The block pictured above is around 100 years old. This one is from a group that was given to me from my granny's unfinished stash about 20 years ago. That's a story in itself, and I will share more about it later. Starting tomorrow I'll be sharing the process of a quilt being made by a lady who is using the fabric from my designs sold by Robert Kaufman. She has generously shared her process through images and notes and I'm excited about this to say the least! And, concerning the story of the 100 year old quilt blocks made by my granny and her friends......that will have to come later. For now, I'll end this post by using Paul Harvey's famous words...please tune in tomorrow to hear...."The Rest Of The Story".

Mary Ellen McCabe
Stafford Elementary School
Stafford, Virginia
Mary Ellen McCabe has been teaching for many years. After graduating from the University of Massachusetts with a degree in elementary education, she moved to the Washington, D.C., area. When her children were young, Mary Ellen became active in the local community center and soon became the director of preschool programs, arts and crafts. Mary Ellen then taught in a Montessori program, where she taught upper elementary, and later in Prince George's County schools, where she helped design and implement an arts program in a public Montessori school. The new program provided support for the arts from preschool through eighth grade and was incorporated throughout the entire curriculum. Mary Ellen now teaches at Stafford Elementary. As a member of Phillips mentor teacher team, she and her colleagues brought the work of Paul Klee alive for Stafford's entire school community. Mary Ellen believes Stafford's year of studying Paul Klee impacted students' view of art, history, their writing, and their desire to do research.

One of the greatest modern music groups is coming to the Barclays Center at the end of August. Arcade Fire will bring their Reflektor tour to Brooklyn as part of an epic run showcasing their internationally best-selling album. The first two shows are scheduled to take place on August 22nd and 23rd. Recently, due to overwhelming demand and hype, the band added a third show to their stint at the Barclays Center. This new installment will follow suit and take place on August 24th.
Reflektor was the fourth album produced by this world famous indie rock band. One of the greatest albums produced in 2013, Arcade Fire received great reviews from distinguished publications such as Rolling Stone and the Los Angeles Times.
In addition to all of the album's hype, the tour itself seems to be generating a lot of buzz. The band had an earlier leg of the tour a few months back. In Louisville, Kentucky, Arcade Fire showed up to their first show wearing giant bobble heads and mingling with crowd members. This sort of behavior is emblematic of the laid-back, goofy nature of these concerts and the group as a whole.
Arcade Fire will soon be leaving to perform at the storied Fuji Rock Festival in Niigata Japan. After the long trip east, the band will come to the States and hop around for the rest of the summer.
This show is an absolute must see must see for anybody who finds themselves in Brooklyn at the time. Arcade Fire is not only an ambassador for modern music and progressive sounds, they're also a sincerely good time. Known for a great stage presence and a passionate, friendly following, an Arcade Fire show has all the elements necessary for a memorable experience. Also, this wonderful show also happens to be taking place at the brand new Barclays Center, which is equipped with the ideal dimensions, technology and amenities for prime spectator enjoyment.

My right got much better since last few days. Now I can look at computer screen most of the time.
I went to post check up today. My doc told me that my eyes are in great shape. He told me this blurry will go away eventually and it is because of eye is regrowing and that is why I am having this blurry thing.
I was reading many topics and now I have several questions.
1. What are the probability or percentage that people who will not see halos (or glare) during 6 month healing period? I mean someone who sees halos (or glare) after surgery who doesn't see after 6 months?
2. Halos (or glare) what are percentage they would go away in few years even? even 10 years? Will they ever go away?
3. What are the probability or percentage that this blurry will be fixed in 6 months period?
4. What would be really future complications after 5 or 10 years later? Would my cornea become thinner?
5. What is difference between halo and glare? I think halos are one around light sorce and glare is one coming in through window? (they got much better I think)
6. Would my eyes ever go back to before? maybe takes 5 years or 10 years?
7. What are the probability of getting dry eyes after 6 months? or percentage.
Maybe I am overly concerned but this website does really help.
I really appreciate your opinion, thank you Glenn.

A week ago Sunday, Bernice Fulks rose up at a Pentecostal church service and talked about her love for God. She was thankful, friends recalled, for overcoming illness that had kept her hospitalized.
This Sunday, fellow churchwomen visiting Fulks` neighborhood off a dirt road near Jupiter were stunned in the aftermath of her death Saturday, when a freak accident electrocuted Fulks, her son and daughter, and her daughter`s three children and their father.
``She was very faithful. Just last Sunday, she gave the most beautiful testimony,`` said Louise Mobley, a missionary from Jupiter, shaking her head.
``She had been sick right in the past. She was doing better so she was testifying about how the Lord had delivered her,`` said Mobley. ``She was glad about about what He had done.``
The churchwomen sat in Eloise Pace`s parlor, talking softly, while outside the tiny trailer, a handful of men smoked cigarettes and leaned back in folding lawn chairs. Among them was her husband, Troy ``Junebug`` Fulks, who slept through the 3:40 a.m. tragedy.
``When I woke up, everyone was gone but me,`` a red-eyed Troy Fulks, 46, said over and over, pacing his aunt`s front yard, a couple of houses from his own parcel on Limestone Creek Road, part of a rural area of poor blacks west of Jupiter that is dotted with dilapidated trailers and broken-down cars.
``I got these Valium. They told me to take these pills. I got seven of them dead,`` the farm worker said.
``How can you lose that much and not be hurting? The man is hurting,`` said a cousin, Nicky Lukes. ``You keep on talking. You keep on. You don`t like to remember.``

I've been meaning to do a post like this for so long! I wanted to create a little guide to commonly made makeup mistakes and, at the same time, offer alternative methods to those mistakes. A lot of you guys will probably already know this stuff, but some of us have a bit less experience with makeup. I know, for example, that it's a newer venture for a lot of my bum chums back home. So this is for you lovely people. Hopefully you find something in here that's helpful.
1. Wiping concealer over blemishes, rather than patting it on
Using wiping motions to conceal blemishes has a counter-productive effect. What ends up happening is that the brush pulls product off the highest point of the skin (i.e. the blemish) instead of depositing it there. Using patting motions, particularly with a small detailer brush, will build the product up exactly where you need it.
2. Using under eye concealer in the wrong place
You don't have to do a super Kim Kardashian dramatic concealer triangle, but if you make sure to pull your concealer down past your under eye circles, it'll create a more seamless transition in that area.
3. Slanting the front of your eyebrows down
A common thing I see people doing is filling in the front of their eyebrows so that they slant down. That makes your face look more severe and angry. If you instead leave that area alone, or even fill in lightly above if need be, you face will look happier and more open.
4. Trying to match your brow product colour to your hair instead of your brows
Trying to fill in your brows with a powder or pencil that matches your hair, rather than your brow colour is dannngeerrr zonnne. It makes the filled in areas look very obvious. If you need to change the colour of your brows to match your hair better, try a tinted brow gel! They work a treat.
5. Filling in every gap in your brows
This seems to be an eternal debate. I firmly believe, however, that leaving gaps in your brows and using hairlike strokes with your brow product always looks better. They can still take a defined shape, but they won't look as blocky.
6. Not pushing liner fully into the lash line
If you're not careful about the way you apply your liner you can end up with a small gap between your eyelid and your lashline. Try pulling up your eyelid, angling the liner down and wiggling it between your lashes.
7. Not joining up your flick when doing winged liner
Trying to do your liner in one fell swoop won't give you the best results. It will mean that your flick will look strangley disjointed from the rest of your liner. Joining your flick to your eyelid with a triangle shape is an essential part of getting winged liner to look just right. Apologies for this photo. It doesn't demonstrate what I'm saying well.
8. Blending contour down instead of up
Contour should be blended up not down. It's good to soften the bottom line of your contour too, but blending it up will lift the cheekbones more. Blending it down can look obvious and leave you looking a tad gaunt.
9. Using bronzer all over your face
To get the most natural look with bronzer, use it only on the high points of your face – forehead, cheekbones, bridge of the nose and chin. That's where the sun hits so that's where it will look best. If you use it all over your face, you might find that you look one dimensional and a bit guido-like.
10. Overdrawing lips with a glossy product
It's nice to be able to cheat the size of our lips a bit, but make sure that if you're doing it with a bold colour (it doesn't tend to be as noticeable with a nude), you're using a matte shade. If you overdraw with a glossy shade the light will catch the top of your natural lip and there will be a distinct line between where your actual lip ends and where your lipsticks ends.

Police force 'would consider' allowing full burkas for officers
POLICE officers could be allowed to wear full burkas completely covering their face and body while on duty, a force has announced.
"It is something we would have to consider"Chief constable David Thompson
West Midlands Police are hoping to encourage more women from black and ethnic minority communities to sign up in a new recruitment drive for 800 new officers.
Chief constable David Thompson said they would consider requests from officers who may want to wear the Islamic dress garment which is banned in France.
He said: "We would need to consider our own rules and cultural sensitivity.
"Clearly we don't have any barriers relating to the burka.
"As it stands we have not had any approaches from potential recruits asking to wear a burka, but if such an approach was made it is something we would have to consider."
He said West Midlands Police had recruited a small number of Muslim women wanting to wear the hijab, a headscarf that covers the head and neck but leaves the face clear.
This comes after ISIS banned the burka in their official buildings in the Iraqi city of Mosul due to security fears.
Hijabs are already allowed by police forces in Scotland and the Metropolitan Police in London first allowed the item more than a decade ago.
No serving UK officers currently wear the burka on duty.
The force wants 30 per cent of its new recruits to come from black and ethnic minorities to reflect the wider West Midlands community while there is currently only nine per cent.

What is Jini?
Jini is a set of APIs and network protocols that can help you build and deploy distributed systems that are organized as federations of services. A service can be anything that sits on the network and is ready to perform a useful function. Hardware devices, software, communications channels -- even human users themselves -- can be services. A Jini-enabled disk drive, for example, could offer a "storage" service. A Jini-enabled printer could offer a "printing" service. A federation of services, then, is a set of services, currently available on the network, that a client (meaning a program, service, or user) can bring together to help it accomplish some goal.
To perform a task, a client enlists the help of services. For example, a client program might upload pictures from the image storage service in a digital camera, download the pictures to a persistent storage service offered by a disk drive, and send a page of thumbnail-sized versions of the images to the printing service of a color printer. In this example, the client program builds a distributed system consisting of itself, the image storage service, the persistent storage service, and the color-printing service. The client and services of this distributed system work together to perform the task: to offload and store images from a digital camera and print out a page of thumbnails.
The idea behind the word federation is that the Jini view of the network doesn't involve a central controlling authority. Because no one service is in charge, the set of all services available on the network form a federation -- a group composed of equal peers. Instead of a central authority, Jini's runtime infrastructure merely provides a way for clients and services to find each other (via a lookup service, which stores a directory of currently available services). After services locate each other, they are on their own. The client and its enlisted services perform their task independently of the Jini runtime infrastructure. If the Jini lookup service crashes, any distributed systems brought together via the lookup service before it crashed can continue their work. Jini even includes a network protocol that clients can use to find services in the absence of a lookup service.

Transcript of Willis and the Disappearing Unicorns
by Seanne and Jenny Willis and the Disappearing Unicorns Once upon a time... There were these tiny people who were banished to the clouds. They built mushroom houses, and a whole new world was made. These "people" were known as Munchkins. In these clouds, there lived an exceptionally small munchkin boy named Willis. He was a typical munchkin child: he had a loving family and a faithful pet mushroom named Squirt. Willis led a very peaceful life, he liked everything the way it was until... As Willis stood quietly on the side watching the confusion, he thought, "Even if I am so small, can I help?", but obviously, no one thought he could. So he left the scene, dissolved in his own thoughts. Willis decided to journey through the clouds to the neighboring magical land of Stork, the land where all the unicorns lived (well, at least used to live). Willis left a brief note for his parents, gathered Squirt and some supplies, and left with a temporary goodbye. Willis and Squirt traveled for 8 days.When they finally arrived at their destination, they noticed that Stork didn't have its usual bright and magical feeling. "The unicorns are gone!!!", a shopkeeper yelled, "They're gone!". It was utter chaos in the clouds. Well, you see, unicorns are to munchkins, as horses are to humans, only unicorns have magical abilities, and everyone loved them. Well, almost everyone. Willis searched every nook and cranny of Stork for any type of clue to help him solve this dilemma. Stork was a land where bad munchkins went for rehab. There were hardly any bad munchkins in the clouds, there had only been 4 evil munchkins in the last century. Their names were: Al Munchpone, Leokin, and Moldemort. They are the only ones who would be capable, and evil enough to cause such a crime. Al Muchpone never came back from rehab-no one knew what happened to him. Leokin came back from rehab, but he died soon after. And last of all, Moldemort: he had lost all his power when Harry Motter defeated him. As Willis walked through the dark clouds, he pondered on this thought: Why would anyone want to cause such a terrible crime? How could they have done this? And mainly, WHO would have done such horrible thing? There was only one person who could have made the unicorns disappear: Al Munchpone. Willis just knows it was Al that made the unicorns disappear, he also knows that Al is an extremely powerful and evil sorcerer. WIllis and Squirt would NEVER be able to defeat him alone, so Willis decides to travel back to the Munchkin town to recruit a group of Munchkins to help Willis and Squirt get the unicorns back. LOOK FOR THE CONTINUATION OF WILLIS AND THE DISSAPPEARING UNICORNS!!!!!Full transcript

This is in response to George, and the arrival of another Catholic to the forum, Paul.
Please ask a serious question. I happen to be Catholic (and once was Lutheran). I can't speak for others.
Please be careful about asking rhetorical questions: if you've phrased the question so that no-one can answer rationally other than your preferred answer, it's not really a question.
'How can X's be so stupid as to believe B?' is pretty sure to be starting on the wrong foot.
I myself will not promise to answer just any question put to me, nor even reply to every posting directed to me.
Well, let's see what happens.

Ernesto Miranda's story began over a dozen years before his untimely death in the downtown skid row section of Phoenix, AZ, only a few blocks from where his story ended. It is presented here by the police officer who made the investigation and arrest, and took the confession later ruled inadmissible as evidence by the U.S. Supreme Court.
Most of your communications with criminal suspects are "unscripted" dialogue. But in certain situations it can be very important that you say the right words, at the right time, to avoid creating problems for yourself, your agency, and your prosecutor.
Some myths that have sprouted from Miranda have shown so much inertia that the Supreme Court has had to keep coming back to try to knock them down. Here are five of the most persistent.
Has Miranda v. Arizona adversely affected criminal justice and public safety? Miranda has resulted in the inability to clear a quarter-million homicides, 1 million rapes, 5 million robberies, and 9 million aggravated assaults.
Whenever you see or hear a suspect doing or saying something an innocent person would not, your observations should go into your reports. The suspect's selective silence can sometimes indicate a consciousness of guilt.
Miranda warnings should not be given when they aren't legally necessary such as when information is urgently needed to protect the safety of officers or the public, or to rescue a victim.
Once a custodial suspect has been given Miranda warnings and has acknowledged his understanding, he might waive his rights and submit to questioning, or he might invoke—either by indicating that he doesn't want to talk, or by requesting counsel.

The community energy company Mongoose has today announced it will launch an energy supply business, opening to customers before the end of the year.
The launch will see Mongoose become the UK's first supply company that is majority owned by community energy groups.
JW Bode, CEO of Mongoose said: "This is a first for a UK energy company and, with the majority of our profits going back into the community groups, I believe this has the potential to transform the nature of energy ownership in the UK."
Mongoose's supply business will be run in partnership with community energy groups across the country. These locally-run community benefit companies return their profits back into their communities and keep the environmental, social and financial benefits of renewable electricity where they belong.
"The rise of community energy means that energy generation can be used to bring about positive social change and Mongoose groups are all signed up to this philosophy. We see this as the future for the UK, with profits being retained within the community to re-invest in socially and environmentally beneficial projects that meet community needs," said Peter Capener chair of Bath and West Community Energy, which founded Mongoose in 2015.
The new supply business will source its electricity from renewable sources and will have a competitively priced range of tariffs for its customers.
Mongoose's generation business helps community groups establish, fund, launch and effectively manage renewable energy projects. Its team has an unrivalled level of experience in developing communityenergy generation projects that run profitably amidst the increasingly challenging legislative framework.
Launched in April 2015, the company currently has 34MW of capacity under management services, forecast to generate 33,946MWh* of energy annually – enough to power c.11,000 homes**. It has a further 30MW of capacity in the pipeline, forecast to generate 30,334MWh* annually enough to power c.10,000 homes**.
A key objective for Mongoose is also to bring more well funded, and successfully run community energy projects into existence. It is actively working with new community energy groups.
Mongoose Energy Supply will announce its launch tariffs during Q3 2016. It will also announce its full management team during Q2 2016.

There hasn't been a realistic "Dabisuta" (Derby Simulation) game on the N64, but Marigul and ParityBit set out on a mission to change that. Derby Stallion 64 has been in-the-making for the N64 for quite a while now. It was originally a 64DD title, but made its first display at Spaceworld 2000 with a new look, on the N64 no less. In contrast to Konami's more "kiddy" derby racer, it features realistic looking environments and fully polygonal horses.
- Realistic real-world look
- Fully polygonal horses
- Train, breed, and race your own horses.
- Save to memory pak to challenge friends
The game is being produced by Japanese game creator, Hiroyuki Sonobe, and looks to be much like its predecessors in gameplay. Since it is a simulation like the others, you don't actually control the horses. Instead you take on the role of owner, breeder, trainer, and other various roles that help prep your horse for the race. All the skill of the game revolves around choosing the healthier horses, breeding them, and training them properly. One of Derby Stallion 64's biggest appeals is the ability to save data on a memory pak, which allows you to race your horses against your friends.
If you're into derby simulations, this will probably end up being your best choice for the Nintendo 64. ParityBit has a lot of experience in developing "thoroughbred simulation" games on many systems including the Saturn, Playstation, and PC. This also has the added advantage of being geared toward a more serious audience. Currently you can pre-order the game (if you live in Japan) at Lawson convenience stores beginning May 20th. It will be available for sale on July 27th, 2001.


text: Hi Friends I have had the huawei for quite a while, and only now have i decided it was time to change the default launcher into something a little more appealing. The problem I have is I can not get the Huawei to connect to the PC properly. Every time I do, it tells me the necessary drivers are not installed, and it cannot recognize the device. I try to reinstall the drivers via device manager, but it tells me that all drivers are up to date,and the computer still doesn't recognize the device. Does anyone else have this problem? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

The Mendocino Unified School District Board of Trustees covered a variety of agenda items at their monthly meeting on Nov. 16, at the Mendocino K-8 School Multipurpose Room. Elk resident Jim Gay was sworn in as the new Elk trustee. Gay is replacing Trustee Charlie Acker, who retired after serving 13 years.
Closed session
In a closed session, the trustees held a conference with labor negotiators, legal counsel Monica Batanero, Superintendent Jason Morse and with employee organizations. The trustees held a hearing on considering the expulsion of a student and reviewed employment personnel changes including the hiring a classified integrative aide and a long term substitute Teacher at Mendocino High School.
MUSD Board President Michael Schaeffer said, "There were no reportable actions to report out on. We have 10 days to report out on the expulsion of a student."
Open session
Trustees voted to approve the consent agenda. Items included audit, budget and Mendocino Community Network reports, the MUSD emergency operations plan, enrollment and attendance reports, student body account reports and employment personnel changes. Final reading of administrative regulations and bylaws for independent study and filling vacancies board policies were also approved.
The 2016-17 MCN manager's report was received by the trustees. MCN revenue for 2016-17 was $2,113,409, compared to $2,024,307 for 2015-16. This was an increase of $89,102 or 4.40 percent.
Expenses for 2016-17 were $2,066,774 compared to $ 2,067,684 for 2015-16. This was a decrease of $910 or 0.004 percent.
The MCN Dial-Up and Fusion customer base continues to decline while Digital Voice extensions were at 96, exceeding the goal of 72. According to the report, "The investments in infrastructure are beginning to pay off. Continued investment in a diverse product line will be crucial to MCN's future."
Superintendent's report
Superintendent Morse reported that the Strategic Planning Committee has already held two meetings. A staff, community and student survey is in the works and will be released this year. The survey will be available online and in a paper format upon request.
Morse also reported on the 2017-18 District of Choice Annual Report. Seventy-six students entered the MUSD District of Choice Program and 33 exited. Seventeen District of Choice applications were denied.
"I want to give a shout out to our transportation department," said Morse. "We have gone many years without an accident. We have had multiple California Highway Patrol inspections and we have passed them all."
The Local Control Accountability Plan and Annual Update are now available online at the MUSD webpages.
Mendocino High School
Principal Tobin Hahn led a discussion on the local indicators and accountability mechanisms for the California School Dashboard. The Dashboard contains reports that display the performance of local educational agencies, schools and student groups on a set of state and local measures to assist in identifying strengths, weaknesses and areas in need of improvement.
Hahn said, "We spend a lot of time working with teachers in professional learning communities."
"To create a positive culture and to support students with a focus on academic learning my 'Tea with Tobin' discussions (with students and staff) around issues of grading have been exciting, since this is a district-wide effort. A fair grading policy is our goal while supporting student learning. Mendocino K-8 Principal Humrichouse is also having these discussions with her staff."
Hahn added, "At the January MUSD board meeting our new school social worker will give her first report."
Students are in the process of signing up for Alternative Education Week trips to be held the first week of April. This year offers a variety of trips.
Future agenda items
The next regular board meeting is scheduled for Dec. 14 at the Mendocino K-8 School. Agenda items include Developer Fee Resolution, First Interim Report, Proposition 39 Plan update and public notice of District Trustee boundaries discussion and ongoing policies.
All agendas, documents and any writings distributed as part of the board packet, or within 72 hours of a meeting, can be viewed at the District Office, 44141 Little Lake Rd., Mendocino, CA 95460. The full packet of documents for the Nov. 19 meeting can be accessed at http://www.mendocinousd.org/view/517.pdf.

A common intuition among Buddhists is that there is no-self (anattā), that things are empty (sunyata) and that real things are in some way an illusion. What is not usually recognised is that this same idea has resurfaced time and time again in western philosophy since the time of Plato. Another unrecognised aspect of no-self is that it potentially causes some problems for some teachings related to Nirvana.
In order to understand the problem of emptiness (sunyata) and nirvana, it is instructive to briefly (we'll do it very briefly -in a single paragraph) look at the historical debate in the West. Plato was a realist and taught that abstract things such as numbers were actually real. He taught that somewhere in the realm of forms (εἶδος or eidos) abstract forms, such as numbers exist in a state more real than the particular things we can see. Plato thought that forms are the purest of all things being transcendent to our world and super-ordinate to matter and true knowledge is the ability to grasp the world of forms by one's mind. Plato's forms were, he taught, a blueprint of perfection, a perfect non-material realm that really exists somewhere. The rejection of these Platonic forms became known as the 'problem of universals' and the rejection of 'universals' and 'forms' became known as 'nominalism' meaning 'name' in Latin.
No-self (anattā) is a type of nominalism because 'self' has no independent existence except as a name. Emptiness (sunyata) is an example of Buddhist nominalism because both reject abstract concepts, general terms or universals insisting they have no independent existence but exist only as names. Therefore, various objects labelled by the same term have nothing in common but their name. This whole thing will sound very familiar to anyone who has ever looked at Buddhist teachings.

These particulars are not a separate reality but only a creation of the human mind. Thus, when we observe fire we ignore the differences such as size, shape, colour, fuel, heat, or smokiness, and concentrate on what we believe are the similarities. We create the phenomena "fire" which helps us bring order to our world. There is no separate "fireness" in which the variety of individual objects we label "fire" participate.
Nominalists claim that values such as 'true' and 'false' are abstract objects as well which are rejected. The same goes for 'good,' 'evil,' 'right' and 'wrong' and all other universals. Related to this nominalistic insight is the realisation that things are on analysis ineffable for in order that things be readily describable we need some kind of realist theory of universals (not going to go into why here, but trust me on this one – ask me or do research if that intrigues you). That things are conceptualist and thus particulars are ineffable will be found explicitly amongst Buddhist philosophers and implicitly among Buddhist teachers.
From the earliest times Buddhist philosophers were nomanilists and we find it taught in the Abhidharma (Siderifts, 2007, p 213) but it was not until Dignāga (c. 480 – c. 540 CE) that Buddhist philosophy became consistent on this point (Siderifts, 2007, p 213). In this respect, some Buddhist concepts can sometimes betray the intuition of nominalism such as some understandings of Nirvana as 'unconditioned' and 'eternal'.
Nirvana is sometimes described as being a 'pure' thing in itself much like Plato's forms. Nirvana is often said to be "unconditioned" (asamskrta), "devoid of cause and effect" (visankhara/asankhata), "the unconditioned element" (asankhata-dhatu), "the unborn" (ajāta) or "the unarisen" (abhūta), "uncreated" (anutpattika) and so on. This description of Nirvana certainly doesn't sound like it has been created by the thinking mind due to a matrix of 'cause and effect' as standard Buddhist philosophy would suggest.
As such Buddhists potentially have their own version of the 'problem of universals' since they have to explain what on earth the unconditioned (asankhata) means when describing Nirvana and Buddha-nature. There are however nominilistic explanations of Nirvana such as the Lankavatara sutra describing four types of teaching of Nirvana which were meant for different types of people on the path (Suzuki, 1932, p 169):
1) people who are suffering, or who are afraid of suffering, and who think of Nirvana;
2) there are the philosophers who try to discriminate Nirvana;
3) there are the class of disciples who think of Nirvana in relation to themselves;
4) the Nirvana of the Buddhas.
The Nirvana of the Buddha's is to recognise "that there is nothing but what is seen of the mind itself; ...recognising the nature of the self-mind, one no longer cherishes the dualisms of discrimination; is where there is no more thirst nor grasping; is where there is no more attachment to external things. Nirvana is where the thinking-mind with all its discriminations, attachments, aversions and egoism is forever put away; is where logical measures, as they are seen to be inert, are no longer seized upon; is where even the notion of truth is treated with indifference because of its causing bewilderment..."
The Lankavatara sutra recognises that there are many different ways in which the 'unconditionedness' of Nirvana can be understood but teaches that the Nirvana of the Buddha's is one of 'conceptualist nomonilism' and thus Bankei kununim (1622-93) advised us to "abide as the Unborn" or in other words don't start making conceptual universals such as "me," "Buddhism," "enlightened," "unenlightened," "young," "old," "good," "evil," and so on.
The upshot of this is that nominalism applies even to 'emptiness' (ie, emptiness is empty) and to claim that 'enlightenment' or 'Buddhism' can be defined and said to be 'X, Y or Z' runs contrary to the core insights of the Buddhist tradition.

RICHMOND, VA (WWBT) – Democrats in the State Senate were reluctant to pass a budget until they got some concessions in their power struggle with the GOP. They did not get control of any committees, but they did get some of the things they were looking for in the spending plan.
Democrats got their GOP colleagues to agree to add funding for senior citizens and child care and to help people who were in danger of being foreclosed upon. They also help to restore a cut to teen pregnancy prevention programs. But they didn't get everything.
They lost an attempt to add funding to help agencies and women seeking abortions to get the state to pay for the now mandatory pre-abortion ultrasound. Despite a vigorous floor debate, that did not prevent the entire budget from moving forward.
But this is not the end of this debate. Now both the House and Senate will come together to hash out the differences in their plans. The final budget will still need the governor's approval. It all must be complete by June 1st.

Two years ago today, Gov. Jan Brewer signed Senate Bill 1070, considered at the time to be the toughest immigration-enforcement law in the nation.
But much has changed on the immigration front since then: The state's sizable illegal-immigrant population, one of the driving factors behind passage of the law, has shrunk dramatically. The state hasn't passed a single immigration bill since SB 1070, ending the passage of a string of enforcement measures leading up to the law. And the state's large but politically anemic Latino population is showing signs of gaining political muscle.
There have been changes at the national level, as well. The year after SB 1070 passed, more than 20 other states introduced bills that also gave police the power to question and arrest suspected illegal immigrants encountered during police stops, the cornerstone of Arizona's law. Five bills passed. But since then, the rush to pass Arizona-style immigration laws has fizzled. None of the five states that considered similar laws this year has approved them.
On Wednesday, the U.S. Supreme Court will hear oral arguments on Arizona's immigration law, key parts of which were blocked by a federal judge the day before it was to take effect.
The court's decision is expected this summer and will likely affect similar laws in other states.
But even if the Supreme Court reverses the lower courts, it's unclear whether other states will again rush forward to pass similar laws. Illegal immigration is not the same hot-button issue it was when Brewer signed SB 1070 two years ago, in part because illegal immigration from Mexico is down sharply.
What's more, the laws have faced mounting opposition from the powerful business community, in Arizona and other states.
At the same time, the laws have galvanized politically important Latino voters, who studies show strongly oppose enforcement-only measures and look instead for approaches that combine enforcement with programs that would help undocumented immigrants with no criminal records qualify for legal status in the United States if they were to pay a fine.
Arizona's illegal-immigrant population surged before passage of Senate Bill 1070. But the number of illegal immigrants in Arizona has fallen sharply since then. There is debate whether the decrease has been good or bad for the state's economy.
In 2000, according to estimates by the Department of Homeland Security, there were 330,000 illegal immigrants living in Arizona. By 2008, the number had increased to 560,000, according to DHS estimates.
The numbers, however, began to drop in 2009. By 2011, according to the most recent DHS estimates based on 2010 census data, there were 360,000 illegal immigrants in Arizona -- 200,000 fewer than at the high point in 2008.
That is the equivalent of losing a community the size of Gilbert, the seventh-largest in Arizona.
Supporters and opponents of SB 1070 generally agree that the downturn in the state's economy, among the worst of any state in the nation, was the main reason so many illegal immigrants left Arizona.
They also agree immigration-enforcement measures played a role.
SB 1070 is part of a plan aimed at driving illegal immigrants out of the state by making life difficult, a strategy known as attrition through enforcement.
Some provisions of SB 1070 did take effect, including one that makes it a crime to knowingly transport illegal immigrants and one that makes it a crime to impede traffic while stopping to pick up day laborers or soliciting for day-labor work.
There is no comprehensive study of whether authorities across the state are aggressively enforcing those provisions or awaiting the outcome of legal battles over the entire law. But some police agencies, including several in the Valley, say they have made a handful of arrests related to SB 1070.
Since the provisions took effect in July 2010, the Phoenix Police Department, for example, has made three SB 1070-related arrests, said James Holmes, a police spokesman. All three were for unlawfully transporting illegal immigrants. Gilbert has made at least one arrest.
Meanwhile, there is no data on whether the loss of 200,000 illegal immigrants since 2008 hurt or helped the state's economy.
Ira Mehlman, a spokesman for the Federation for American Immigration Reform, a Washington, D.C., organization that advocates for less immigration and more enforcement, believes it has been good for the state.
Illegal immigrants tend to work in low-wage jobs and therefore tend to pay less in taxes but use more public services than legal immigrants and U.S. citizens, he said.
When illegal immigrants leave, the state also saves money by not having to educate their children, many of whom require additional services to help them become proficient in English, Mehlman said.
Data from the Arizona Department of Education shows that the number of students learning English in Arizona fell from 155,000 in 2005 to 100,000 in 2011.
Mehlman said the number of English learners fell because many illegal immigrants and their families left the state and fewer came.
Department of Education officials, however, said the number also fell because many students became proficient in English and therefore no longer required special services.
Judith Gans, program manager for immigration policy at the Udall Center for Studies in Public Policy at the University of Arizona, said it is hard to measure how losing 200,000 people will affect the economy.
She is the author of a 2004 study that concluded that immigrants in Arizona, including legal and illegal immigrants, contributed $940 million more toward public services than they used.
She agreed that the loss of up to 200,000 illegal immigrants saves the state money in social-services costs, especially for those who have U.S. citizen children.
But she said losing so many people hurts the overall economy.
It creates higher home-vacancy rates in immigrant neighborhoods, which lowers rents and hurts landlords and lowers tax payments to the state, she said.
While a drop in student numbers saves money for the state, it hurts local school districts because they receive less money in state education funding, which is based on student enrollment, she said.
Having fewer illegal immigrants helps increase wages for other workers, but that means higher costs and lower profits for businesses, which could put a damper on industries that rely on immigrant labor, she said.
Loui Olivas, a retired business-management professor and assistant vice president at Arizona State University, said immigrants tend to have larger families and therefore spend more money on food, clothing and household goods. He oversees the annual publication of Datos, a report that measures the state's Hispanic market.
He said many businesses in immigrant neighborhoods have closed or struggled because so many illegal immigrants have left. That means less tax revenue.
"There is no question it's a significant impact on our states and also in our ability to collect taxes," Olivas said.
Leading up to SB 1070, Arizona adopted a string of immigration-enforcement laws.
Among them was the state's employer-sanctions law, which passed in 2007 and took effect in 2008. That law punishes businesses for failing to use a federal database toelectronically verify whether new employees are authorized to work in the U.S.
Tom Rex, a researcher at ASU's W.P. Carey School of Business, said the employer-sanctions law probably had more effect on the state's undocumented population than SB 1070.
The law essentially blocked illegal immigrants from getting jobs with invented Social Security numbers, a common practice in the past.
The sanctions law, along with the recession, helped initiate the exodus of illegal immigrants from Arizona.
SB 1070 turned out to be the high-water mark for immigration-enforcement laws in Arizona. Not a single immigration law has passed since.
In March 2011, the state Senate voted down five major immigration bills, including measures that would have attempted to block the children of illegal immigrants from receiving automatic citizenship, banned illegal immigrants from attending state universities and made it a crime for illegal immigrants to drive in Arizona.
Some Republicans who had voted in favor of SB 1070 joined with Democrats to vote against them.
This year, state Sen. Steve Smith, R-Maricopa, introduced immigration bills that would have required public schools and hospitals to check the legal status of students and patients. Neither has moved forward.
"I think a lot of the people think we passed the big one, we led the nation on this issue and hopefully this is the fix we have been looking for," Smith said, referring to SB 1070.
Others are afraid of generating more backlash against the state, he said.
Glenn Hamer, president and CEO of the Arizona Chamber of Commerce and Industry, said the business community has played a pivotal role in convincing lawmakers that it's up to the federal government now to enact immigration reform.
After the five bills began moving forward last year, Hamer said, "I've never seen the business community come together in such a strong, united way ... saying enough is enough."
Hamer said business leaders again voiced their opposition this year to the immigration bills introduced by Smith.
"We made it very clear that those were unnecessary and we would oppose them as vigorously as we opposed the bills that came up last year," Hamer said.
The state's tourism and convention business is rebounding following the boycotts generated by SB 1070, said Kristen Jarnagin, spokeswoman for the Arizona Lodging and Tourism Association.
A November 2010 study by the liberal Center for American Progress estimated that the boycotts cost the state more than $140 million in lost meeting and convention business.
SB 1070 has galvanized Latinos to become more active politically, said Lisa Magaña, a political-science professor at ASU's School of Transborder Studies.
Magaña said Latino voters played a significant role in the ouster of former state Sen. Russell Pearce, R-Mesa, who spearheaded many immigration-enforcement measures, including SB 1070.
Pearce was voted out of office in November 2011 in a recall election.
A grass-roots campaign that targeted Latino voters also played a role in the November election of Phoenix City Councilman Daniel Valenzuela, a Glendale firefighter and political newcomer, Magaña said. Voter turnout among Latinos in his district increased 480 percent from the previous election.
Valenzuela said he agreed that frustration over SB 1070 helped him get elected. "There were many factors, but that was one of the motivating factors," he said.
Meanwhile, Magaña said SB 1070 also has sparked an increase in the number of immigrants becoming naturalized so that they can vote.
Data from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services shows that naturalizations among Mexicans in Arizona are outpacing those from other countries. They are up 53 percent in 2011 compared with 23 percent for people from all countries.
Nationwide, naturalizations for Mexicans increased 41 percent, compared with 12 percent for immigrants from all countries, the data shows.
"The Number 1 reason people are naturalizing is to vote against these elected officials" who support immigrant-enforcement legislation, Magaña said.
The National Association of Latino Elected Officials projects that 360,000 Latinos will vote in November, up 23 percent from 2008, said Hilda Oropeza, the group's Arizona representative.
"If there was any issue that motivated the Latino community it was SB 1070," Oropeza said.
Take Cindy Ruelas, a 23-year-old Tolleson resident and stay-at-home mom. She registered to vote in March. She said she never cared about voting until the immigration laws came along. Several close relatives don't have papers, and the laws hit home.
"That's the main reason I started paying attention," she said.
The nationwide movement to pass Arizona-style immigration laws has subsided, said Muzaffar Chishti, who tracks state immigration laws for the Migration Policy Institute, a think tank.
More than two dozen states introduced legislation similar to SB 1070.
The laws passed in five states: Alabama, Georgia, Indiana, South Carolina and Utah. All have been partially or wholly blocked by the courts, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures.
This year, lawmakers in Kansas, Missouri, Mississippi, West Virginia and Tennessee introduced similar bills, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. Some have failed; others are pending.
The main reason for the decrease, Chishti said, is states are waiting to see what happens to Arizona's law at the Supreme Court.
But other factors are also playing a role, he said: outcry from business communities, growing grass-roots opposition from immigrant and Latino groups, fears of boycotts and concerns raised by police that the laws undermine trust with immigrants.
"There has been a considerable slowdown and a considerable lack of success," Chishti said.

Talk stories make you call a friend, tap a co-worker on the shoulder or send an email to a buddy: "Hey, did you see that story in the Tribune about the guy who stole Steve Jobs' iPad?" Or the one about the historical marker installed last week at the Hyde Park shopping center where President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama had their first kiss.
Take the annual Beloit College Mindset List. You know, that's the list that shows what this year's incoming college freshmen are thinking about. Or, more to the point, what they're not.
For instance, this year's college freshmen, born in roughly 1994, have grown up in a world that's always been in "cyberspace."
They've likely never seen an actual airline ticket. And to them, Richard Nixon, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, Kurt Cobain and John Wayne Gacy have always been dead.
Compiled every year since 1998, this list never fails to pique the interest of reporters and readers alike, but why?
Maybe it's this – any list that attempts to show how young one group is will inevitably interest the group of us who are older.
[ED.'s note: And it seems like there's more of us older people every year.]

The U.S. Ski Team's presence was felt at the GoPro Mountain Games in Vail over the weekend. Lindsey Vonn, Steven Nyman and David Wise tried their hand at summertime activities, including SUP, mountain biking, fishing and slack lining. For Nyman and Vonn, certainly the 2015 World Alpine Ski Championships were on their minds, as a myriad of fans turned out in the Vail Valley to catch the Games.

text: Hey! I need some advices from you, couse Iam almost giving up. I have three sites that Iam trying to optimize them, but I will talk only about one... Theres no difference between iam using on each of them. Iam doing SEO on this site for several months. Last three months Iam using: - SeNUKE (social nuke, bookmarking, profile links, rss) - My own blog network I have 6 blogs in my network. I have posted on each of them one unique article, and point link to my website with anorch text with keyword afcours, and some interlinking with this blogs. Then I social nuke with rewriten article and link to main page, and then another 2 times (all other accounts) to this my own blogs articles. I even have made some profile links to sites created with social nuke, main webpage and blog articles. And whats the result? First on page 3 (#21). Best position was #17, but now dropped to #21. For this keyword iam the #1 in Yahoo, but this doesnt mean anything for me since in my country no one is using Yahoo. I have attached compatition. I think that competitions is not working almost anything on SEO, so I dont understand why Iam positioned on third page:S When I check onsite SEO with IBP 11.6 I got 71%. I think this is OK..or not? 1. What am I doing wrong? 2. What else I could do? 3. I must say that maybe this could be a problem. I have all sites, main page and blogs hosted on the same IP address. I was reading over the blog, that Google does not put much effect on that. What do you think? Could be this the main problem? 4. Another strange thing... On another page iam doing SEO at the same way, i noticed that for my keyword, are better ranged my blog articles, or web 2.0 properties created by senuke... Why is that? I hope some one could help me out anwsering those questions. Thanks!
