One idea might be to have the school-within-a-school be a laboratory of sorts for teachers (or, say, a crew of 4 teachers) and have them test certain ideas and report back to their group or the faculty writ large.

– 30th Sun of the 4th Astral Moon
This book is covered in dust. I don't know how long I left it sitting around unused, but it's managed to collect enough to be able to draw in.
I can't say I blame myself. This book is host to a lot of bad memories: U'xi, Reppu, all unrest with Zho. I think those drown out the good ones, for me. That said, I would be nothing if all I did were dwell on the events of the past.
The R'das who sat every night nursing a bottle and praying for the end is gone. The R'das who would pine for the affections of one who used her is gone. I am what my past has made me, but my past no longer dictates the actions I take now, no matter how strong the anger I harbour in my heart.
And it is anger. Contempt. Unbridled rage. For too long I've sat and let my life spiral uncontrollably downwards, and for too long have I convinced myself that it was beyond repair – that this was how it was supposed to be.
So, we start anew.
The Company is in shambles. Projects have ground to a halt with nary a word spoken of them. My treasurer has yet to return from Kugane and I've done nothing about it.
My relationship is a bad joke, with both the punchline and the significant other absent.
Thankfully, I can fix all of this. I will fix all of this.
I will be speaking with Zho at my earliest convenience and informing her that while I'm happy to remain with her, I need to look for emotional support from other sources as well. I can't soldier on by myself, not anymore now that my years are climbing and my lifestyle is becoming more stationary.
As for the Company…I'll go to Kugane myself and drag that coin-goblin back with my own hands if I must. We've been accruing money from the Flames and I'm not entirely sure what we can put it towards. Dancers for the bar, maybe? Think I know a few from the old days.

Individuals can sometimes have unexpected reactions to certain situations. When a person is faced with a difficult predicament, he or she may act out of pure emotion rather than thinking through the logical options. Unfortunately, when an individual acts impulsively, police may become involved, and charges for assault or other allegations could fall upon that person.
What is a grand jury? Why is it important to my case?
Most people familiar with the criminal justice system understand the role of an arraignment, especially if they have been arrested and are being held in custody pending their first appearance. But before an arraignment (or an arrest for that matter), chances are that charges are brought against the accused through a grand jury indictment, especially if the accused has not been arrested. This is a formal notice that the state is bringing criminal charges against a defendant and it is a call for the accused to appear and answer to them.
Defense info may help Florida man with DUI charge
It is a simple fact of life that everyone makes mistakes at some point. For some, those mistakes may have little consequence, and for others, the error of their ways could result in a serious legal situation. When a person is charged with DUI, he or she may want to avoid the mistake of approaching the case unprepared.
Defense info may help 3 charged in Florida drug-related offenses
Though "drug charges" is a term that many people have heard, it is also a blanket phrase that could cover a variety of allegations. When parties are accused of drug\-related offenses, the circumstances under which the charges come about could be drastically different from case to case. Because of these differences, each individual facing criminal allegations may want to determine what legal avenues they may find most fitting for their particular situations.
Mysterious car accident prompts investigation
Accidents are expected during holiday weekends. This is why law enforcement agencies step up enforcement of drunk driving laws in order to prevent tragedies. Despite these efforts, car accidents in Florida can happen on any day of the week.

SHIPPENSBURG — Sophomores Terrance King and Blair Ramsey both scored six points in a 12-0 run late in the game as East Stroudsburg University beat Shippensburg, 68-61, in the regular season finale at Heiges Field House for its third straight win entering next week's PSAC Tournament.
SHIPPENSBURG — Sophomores Terrance King and Blair Ramsey both scored six points in a 12-0 run late in the game as East Stroudsburg University beat Shippensburg, 68-61, in the regular season finale at Heiges Field House for its third straight win entering next week's PSAC Tournament.
Sophomore forward Marcus Brown had 11 points and 11 rebounds for his first career double-double, and Ramsey and senior guard Mike DeMarco scored 10 points each for the Warriors (15-11, 8-6), who put together a three-game winning streak for the first time since early December as they get ready for their fifth PSAC tournament in six years.
ESU will be the No. 3 seed and travel to No. 2 Kutztown (16-10, 9-5), which posted an 82-66 win over Millersville on Saturday, for their quarterfinal match-up on Tuesday at 7 p.m. The two schools split their meetings this season, with Kutztown winning 85-82 at home on January 22 and ESU returning the favor, 69-68, on February 19 at Koehler Fieldhouse to kick off its three-game streak to end the regular season.
SHIPPENSBURG — Kasey Gardner closed her career with 28 points, eight rebounds, five assists and seven steals to lead Shippensburg to an 89-75 win over East Stroudsburg University in the season finale for both schools on Saturday afternoon at Heiges Field House.
Gardner was two points off her career-high of 30 which she set against ESU last season and finishes her four years ranked sixth in Shippensburg history with 1,745 career points. The senior scored 20 points in the second half and played the entire game before leaving with 46 seconds remaining. Shippensburg outscored ESU, 53-47, in the final half of basketball of the season.
Gardner led five players in double figures for the Lady Raiders (12-14, 7-7). Shawna Wert had 18 points and eight assists, Monae Baker had 12 points and seven rebounds, Dana Wert had 10 points, five rebounds and five assists and Caitlin Bamberger added 10 points and eight boards.
Redshirt junior forward Brittany McClain had 15 points, freshman guard Andrea Veres scored 13 and sophomore guard Barb Borst had 11 points for ESU (5-21, 2-12), which finishes its first season under head coach Maureen Smith.
All eight Warriors who saw action in the season finale scored at least five points. Junior guard Cyara Woodridge (nine points), sophomore forward Mia Waring (eight points, six rebounds), freshman forward Nicole Hill (seven points, seven rebounds), sophomore center Kelly Sorber (seven points, six rebounds) and junior guard Jennifer Scherer (five points) joined the three double-figure scorers.
ESU's 75 points and 41.9 percent shooting were both its second-highest figures of the season. The Warriors shot 26-for-62 from the field, 7-for-20 from the three-point line and 16-for-21 at the foul line led by a 6-for-6 performance by Veres.
At the other end, Shippensburg's 89 points were the second-most allowed by the Warriors this year as the Lady Raiders shot 47.7 percent from the field and 25-for-31 at the charity stripe. Shippensburg held a 45-32 advantage on the glass and a 23-19 margin in turnovers.
Shippensburg opened the game with a 16-2 run and led 21-6 before the Warriors scored the next 14 points to get within one with 7:10 left in the first half after back-to-back three-pointers by Scherer and Borst.
The Lady Raiders went on to lead 36-28 at halftime and extended the advantage to 21 with an 18-5 run in the first six minutes of the second half. ESU scored 28 points in the final eight minutes of the contest to get a 25-point deficit down to 14 at the final buzzer.
Veres, a five-time PSAC East Freshman of the Week, had her 11th double-figure game of the year and led the Warriors with 265 points (10.2 per game), 88 assists and 56 steals this season. Veres shot 80.2 percent (65-81) from the foul line, the 11th player to shoot better than 80 percent in school history.
Borst made three three-pointers at Shippensburg giving her 47 on the season, tied for fourth in school history. Her 84 career three's through two seasons rank fifth all-time. Veres made her 40th three-pointer of the year, making her and Borst the second set of teammates to hit 40 three-pointers in a season for the Warriors. Maryellen Onofre and Niki Cox both made 43 in 2004-05.
Sorber had three blocks and finishes the season with 44 rejections, fourth in ESU's record book. She also moved into sixth on the career list with 53 blocks in her first two years. The sophomore was ESU's top rebounder with 167 (6.7 per game) and had five double-figure rebounding efforts in the first 10 games of the season. Hill was second on the team with 5.8 rebounds per game and had 10 games with at least eight boards.
Woodridge averaged 12.8 points in 12 games, missing 14 games due to injury after playing briefly in the season opener. She was in double figures in nine of the 11 games she played after returning to the floor, including two double-doubles in the last four games.
Seniors Alicea Ashe and Brittany Racek and junior Rachel Gieringer, all returning all-conference selections, lead East Stroudsburg University into the 2011 softball season as the Warriors look for their fifth straight appearance in the PSAC playoffs.
The three All-PSAC East players lead seven returning starters in a lineup that set a school record with 32 home runs last season. In the circle, senior Caitlin Monahan returns and will move into the No. 1 starter's spot as the Warriors replace all-conference pick Jackie Battaglino.
ESU was third in the PSAC East season and has made the PSAC tournament in all four seasons under head coach Jill Fuduric. For the streak to reach five in 2011, the Warriors will need big contributions from its stars and several supporting players to step up.
Ashe set an ESU record with 10 home runs last season and is entering her third year as a starter in center field. The only player to start all 49 games a year ago, Ashe hit .282, had 18 extra-base hits and a team-high 32 RBI while splitting time between the No. 1, No. 2 and No. 4 spots in the order. She enters her senior season within reach of the career record of 18 home runs set by Jen Veronesi from 2004-07.
Two seniors will join Ashe in the outfield in Jamie Mingis, a three-year starter, and Julia Collins. Mingis has made 91 of her 122 career starts in left field and will be back in left this season. At the plate, she has a .254 career batting average with 80 hits and 47 runs. Collins, in her third year at ESU, has a strong arm in right field and played in 11 games with four starts last season. Sophomore Kaitlin Blum and freshman Rebecca Smith, both members of ESU's field hockey team and two-sport standouts in high school, will also see time in the outfield.
Racek put together one of the top offensive seasons in school history last year but was limited to 32 games due to injury. A former All-PSAC East shortstop, she will be in the designated player spot in a somewhat limited role for the second straight season after hitting .381 with six home runs, eight doubles, two triples, 18 RBI and 26 runs — all before April 6.
In ESU's career books, Racek enters the year in the top 10 in batting average (.341), on-base percentage (.391) and slugging percentage (.522) and is also in the top 10 in five other categories. She had a .426 on-base percentage and school record .691 slugging percentage last season.
Gieringer, entering her third year as a starter at third base, was the PSAC East Freshman of the Year in 2009 when she hit .303 with 24 RBI and had a .348 batting average to earn All-PSAC honors last season. She also hits for power, with seven career home runs in 81 starts, and is very strong defensively at the hot corner. Freshman Rachel Raabe, an All-Area selection at Phillipsburg (N.J.), will be the backup.
Junior shortstop Pam Sellers will start next to Gieringer on the left side of the infield for the second straight season. Sellers had 115 assists last season, second-most in ESU history, in 48 starts at short. At the plate, she saw limited at bats in the first half of the year but hit .268 in the month of April.
On the right side of the infield, three players will see action at first base and four players are in contention for playing time at second base, led by juniors Brittany Zanzalari at first and Brandi Stettler at second.
Zanzalari was very good with the glove around the first base bag in her first year as a starter last year and hit .203 at the plate with one home run, 16 RBI and 15 runs. Senior Angela Huggins, in her fourth year in the program, and freshman Amanda McKay, a three-year All-State player in high school at Babylon (N.Y.), will also be in the mix. McKay will also be an option for the Warriors in the circle.
Stettler has started games at second, shortstop and third in her first two years and has the most experience among the contenders for the second base job, making 34 starts in the infield as a freshman and 13 as a sophomore.
Three freshmen are also candidates in Rebecca Smith, Leandra Lynch and Sam Haber. Smith, a three-year captain as a catcher at Ichabod Crane (N.Y.), is a strong athlete and could see time in the infield, outfield and behind the dish this season. Lynch comes to ESU from Pennsbury High School, and Haber was All-Suburban One as a second baseman and shortstop at Upper Dublin.
Behind the plate, junior Samantha Capriotti is the returning starter and junior Alex Schubert, a transfer from Division I Fairleigh Dickinson, will share time in the lineup. Capriotti started 25 games and had a strong offensive season last year, hitting .260 with eight extra-base hits and a .411 slugging percentage. Schubert was a two-year starter at FDU and should be a standout defensively.
Monahan will be counted on as the Warriors' ace after throwing 151.0 innings in her first year at ESU. A former transfer from Division I Vermont, Monahan appeared in 28 games, completing 15 of her 23 starts, and had a 4.64 ERA with 94 strikeouts. At the plate, she hit .302 with two home runs and could be one of ESU's top hitters this season.
Freshman Laura Suits will be the second starter after a strong high school career at New Paltz (N.Y.). An all-league player who also played third base and was a member of the volleyball team, Suits should continue to develop in the circle while displaying a strong mental drive as she throws key innings for the Warriors.
McKay is penciled in as ESU's third pitcher and is the only left-hander among the group. She was All-State and the Pitcher of the Year on Babylon's Suffolk County championship team and is also one of the top options at designated player as she makes a quick transition to college hitting.
ESU 6, West Liberty (W.W.) 4
CATAWBA, N.C. — Senior outfielders Jamie Mingis and Alicea Ashe provided the game-winning hits as East Stroudsburg University rallied to post 6-4 wins over Queens (N.C.) and West Liberty (W.V.) to open the 2011 softball season on Friday at the Catawba Invitational.
Mingis belted a two-run homer in the sixth inning to give the Warriors the lead against Queens, and Ashe hit a two-run double as ESU scored four runs with two outs in the fifth inning against West Liberty to complete the day.
Senior Caitlin Monahan and freshman Laura Suits threw complete games in the circle. Monahan held Queens to seven hits and struck out three in the opener, while Suits gave up five hits, struck out four and stranded 10 runners on base in her debut for the Warriors.
ESU had 22 hits on the day, 12 against Queens and 10 against West Liberty, and Mingis was 4-for-6 with a pair of multi-hit games. The senior, entering her fourth year as a starter, was 2-for-4 and scored two runs in the first game and 2-for-2 with a walk in game two.
Tiffin 8, ESU 0
CATAWBA, N.C. — Freshman Rebecca Smith ended a 10-inning marathon with the game-winning single in an 11-10 victory over Glenville State in the first game of the day as East Stroudsburg University improved to 3-1 by splitting two games at the Catawba Invitational on Saturday.
Smith's two-out single capped a two-run 10th inning after senior outfielder Jamie Mingis drove in the first run of the inning with a one-out base hit. The game went into extra innings tied at 7-7 and Glenville State scored its runner from second using the international tiebreaker for three straight innings, but the Warriors matched the run in the eighth and ninth before winning it in the 10th.
ESU suffered its first loss of the season on Saturday afternoon with an 8-0 setback to Tiffin in five innings. Kelly Mayer held the Warriors to two hits while three players hit home runs for the Dragons, who scored four runs in the second and four in the fourth to invoke the eight-run rule.
ERIE — Redshirt senior Jeff Jacobs (174) became East Stroudsburg University's first NCAA Division II Super Region 1 champion and redshirt senior Ed Ebewo (197) also earned a trip to the NCAA Championships with a third-place finish to give the Warriors two national qualifiers out of this weekend's Super Region 1 Tournament at Gannon.
Jacobs and Ebewo will make the trip to Nebraska-Kearney on March 11-12 after navigating through their brackets, which included Jacobs' upset of No. 1 seed Anthony Petrella of Gannon, the No. 2-ranked 174-pounder in Division II, in the semifinals. The No. 4 seed entering the tournament, Jacobs was the third-highest seeded wrestler to win an individual title, joining a pair of wrestlers from Pitt-Johnstown in No. 6 Jack Bachman at 141 and No. 5 Chris Dempsey at 285.
ESU is in its second year competing in Division II and also sent two wrestlers, Adam Hluschak (141) and national runner-up Shane Mallory (184), to the NCAA Championships last year. Hluschak was the regional runner-up a year ago but fell a match short of repeating his trip to the NCAA's on Saturday.
Jacobs won a 3-2 decision over Petrella to reach the finals and won the title with a 4-0 decision over No. 6 Josh Whitlock, who was one of five runner-ups for team champion Newberry. Jacobs improved to 19-8 on the season and has won 13 of his last 15 matches entering the NCAA's. He pinned No. 5 Matt Littleton (West Liberty) in 2:26 in the quarterfinals on Friday after a first round bye.
ESU scored 54.0 points, finishing tied for seventh.
with West Liberty in a field of 13 teams, to post an improvement from last year's 10th-place finish in a field of 15 schools. Pitt-Johnstown (115.5) was the runner-up behind Newberry, followed by Gannon (84.5) and Mercyhurst (75.0). The top four individuals in each weight class at each of this weekend's four regionals will make the trip to Nebraska-Kearney in two weeks.
The Warriors had four placewinners in Jacobs, Ebewo and redshirt juniors Hluschak (141) and Thad Frick (165), who were both sixth in their weight classes.

Christian Combs' mother Kim Porter passed away on November 15 and was just laid to rest yesterday (November 24).
While a funeral can bring some closure it doesn't mean that everyone who loved the 47-year-old mother of four aren't still shocked and in pain.
Combs, who was born from Diddy's longtime relationship with Porter, just took to Instagram to reveal just how much me misses his mom.
Under a pic of the late actress and model, Combs captioned, "I miss you Mommy," accompanied by a red heart emoji.
1,200 to 1,500 mourners were in at Kim Porter's procession. Among those mournering were Kimora Lee Simmons, Mary J. Blige, Dallas Austin, Yolanda Adams, Faith Evans, and Winnie Harlow.
An official cause of death has not yet been ruled, however initial reports stated that the former actress and model had suffered a fatal cardiac event.

Introducing the Wilmington Symphony Orchestra
Whether you're a first time visitor or a long-time season subscriber, you will thoroughly enjoy an evening with the Wilmington Symphony Orchestra. Audience members are delighted each year by the classical and pops concerts presented by the orchestra, which includes 65 to 70 experienced musicians from around the Cape Fear Region. Founded in 1971, the WSO is one of the region's distinctive cultural treasures.
The Wilmington Symphony Orchestra has established a unique artistic profile and civic stature in southeastern North Carolina. What distinguishes the Wilmington Symphony is its distinct identity as a local cultural arts group that showcases local talent. The WSO's 47 year tradition of service enhances the quality of life in the Cape Fear Region starting with great music-making showcasing the considerable talents of our area's own musicians, and extending through a host of vibrant and vital educational programs for all ages. The musicians are local instrumentalists, and gifted students and faculty, selected each year by audition. Now beginning his 32nd year as conductor of the Wilmington Symphony, Dr. Steven Errante is also Professor of Music at University of North Carolina-Wilmington.
In addition to a series of concerts for its audience, the Wilmington Symphony provides both performance opportunities and an array of unique educational programs for Wilmington and Cape Fear Region residents that includes the Wilmington Symphony Youth Orchestra, a Free Family Concert, the annual Richard R. Deas Student Concerto Competition, and Artist-in-Residence Programs in area schools.
The Symphony's Impact on the Cape Fear Region
A symphony orchestra is a sign of a mature, forward-thinking and comprehensive community. A local symphony helps improve the quality of life and attractiveness of a community, and a community with the widest variety of cultural amenities has the edge in attracting and retaining businesses, in enhancing images and community relations, in attracting top notch employees and their families, in drawing tourists and conventions, and in creating markets for new business.
The Wilmington Symphony has grown into a multi-faceted asset for Wilmington and the Cape Fear Region providing value in cultural arts and entertainment, music education, economic development, identity and image, pride and prestige. The Wilmington Symphony is local art that creates community connection, aids in economic development, strengthens our region's shared identity and adds significantly to the quality of life in southeastern North Carolina.
The Wilmington Symphony's concerts provide a gathering point of community pride for residents to be involved, engaged and connected with one of our region's distinctive local cultural treasures. Educational initiatives contribute to the life-long learning opportunities available to residents, especially for area youth.
A Brief History
In 1971 Wilmington violinists Gaile Zack and Virginia Kusler delivered a home-made cherry pie to a skeptical music librarian named Spike Feenstra. Mr. Feenstra had belonged to a local orchestra in the 1930's. When the orchestra was disbanded he was entrusted with the remaining musical scores. Persistent but gentle urging had not persuaded Mr. Feenstra to lend his orchestral scores to these two earnest musicians. A cherry pie was their final attempt to win the music they needed to assemble Wilmington's first community orchestra. Fortunately, it worked.
Mrs. Zack and Mrs. Kusler had labored for months to establish the interest and support needed to build a successful orchestra. Once the music was available, Dr. Richard Deas, then Chairman of UNC-W's Music Department, and music professor William Adcock were eager to contribute their talents. Thirty-three volunteer musicians under the direction of Professor Adcock became the UNC-W Community Orchestra. The orchestra presented its first concert to the public on February 20, 1972. The free performance took place at Kenan Auditorium.
Over the next decade, the number of performances doubled from two to four per season. The sophistication of the music and the technical skill so the musicians grew as well.
After more than 10 years as the spiritual leader and musical director, Conductor William Adcock died on April 7, 1982. The baton was passed to Dr. Joe Hickman who led the orchestra through four more years of growth and improvement.
In 1986, Dr. Steven Errante took over as conductor of what had become the Wilmington Symphony Orchestra. Dr. Errante's keen understanding of orchestral interpretation introduced a new era of performance standards. Many performances later, the Wilmington Symphony Orchestra continues to grow and thrive under Dr. Errante's artistic direction.
In 1971, the enlightened persistence and expert culinary skills of Gaile Zack and Virginia Kusler persuaded one reluctant man that live classical music would make Wilmington a better place to live. Today, we are all convinced.

KABUL–Under elaborate secrecy, President Barack Obama slipped into Afghanistan on Sunday near the front lines of the increasingly bloody eight-year war he is expanding and affirmed America's commitment to destroying Al Qaeda and its extremist allies.
Obama's six-hour visit was conducted entirely under the shroud of nightfall, after Air Force One's unannounced flight from the U.S. Obama defended his decision to escalate the fight, telling troops whose numbers he is tripling that their victory is imperative to America's safety.
His bid to shore up faith in the struggle was aimed both at the troops who cheered him and Americans back home. And, he demanded accountability from Afghan authorities to make good on repeated promises to improve living conditions, rein in corruption and enforce the rule of law to prevent people from joining the insurgency.
"Your services are absolutely necessary, absolutely essential to America's safety and security," the president told a crowd of about 2,500 troops and civilians at Bagram Air Field north of Kabul. "Those folks back home are relying on you. We can't forget why we're here.''
It was Obama's first trip as president to Afghanistan, where the number of U.S. troops killed has roughly doubled in the first three months of 2010 compared with the same period last year.
"We did not choose this war," Obama reminded the troops, recalling the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks and warning that Al Qaeda was still using the region to plan terrorist strikes against the U.S. and its allies. "We are going to disrupt and dismantle, defeat and destroy Al Qaeda and its extremist allies.''
Obama arrived in Kabul just two days after a threatening new audio message from Al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden, believed to be hiding along the ungoverned border between Afghanistan and Pakistan.
"If this region slides backwards," Obama told the troops, "if the Taliban retakes this country, Al Qaeda can operate with impunity, then more American lives will be at stake, the Afghan people will lose their opportunity for progress and prosperity and the world will be significantly less secure. As long as I'm your commander-in-chief, I'm not going to let that happen.''
White House officials said Obama, in private talks, wanted to drive home the point that Afghan President Hamid Karzai and his cabinet must do more to battle corruption and cronyism in government.
In public remarks, Obama told Karzai and his cabinet that he was pleased with progress made since their last discussion by secure videoconference on March 15. Obama invited him to visit Washington on May 12.
He also praised recent steps in the military campaign against insurgents. But he stressed that Afghans need to see conditions on the ground get better.

Four years ago, Talbert Middle School science teacher John Wood was among the contestants in the Mr. Fountain Valley contest, a fun, tongue-in-cheek event in which a group of Fountain Valley guys got on stage and did a lot of crazy things – all for charity.
The goal of the pageant was to crown Mr. Fountain Valley. But each contestant also helped raise funds for a cause that is near and dear to their hearts.
Wood, the 2012 Fountain Valley School District Teacher of the Year and the Orange County Teacher of the Year in 2013, raised money for his school's STEM academy, an advanced program that emphasizes science, technology, engineering and math skills.
John Wood didn't win the pageant – John Etheridge, owner of Seashore Pest Control, did – but Wood certainly went above and beyond to further his cause.
Wood has ventured to Antarctica and Alaska as part of Polar/TREC, an organization funded by the National Science Foundation that matches educators with research groups that are exploring issues in the Arctic and Antarctic. He also has been a presenter at the International Polar Year Conference in Montreal.
Wood's interest in the importance of the Earth's poles is one of the big reasons the Fountain Valley School District has been holding its annual Polar Day.
It's an event students and parents in the district have certainly warmed up to.
This year's fourth annual Polar Day is set for 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 3 at Gisler Elementary School. School district officials bill Polar Day as "a fun day of learning filled with arts and crafts, STEM and engineering projects."
Adding to the fun will be cookie decorating, guest speakers, photo booths, food trucks and a pickup game of street hockey with the Anaheim Ducks.
Gisler School is at 18720 Las Flores St. The event is free.
Also, mark your calendars:
Fountain Valley will celebrate the grand reopening of the playground at Harper Park with a ribbon-cutting ceremony and a movie in the park on Friday, Nov. 2.
The city's Public Works Department and Community Services Department will unveil the park's newly designed Biba Playground. There are multiple apps parents can use to enable children to play fun, interactive games while at the park.
The ribbon-cutting is set for 5:15 p.m., followed by the movie "Coco" at 5:45 p.m. Kids are invited to dress up in costume, and the first 300 people will receive free hot dogs. Popcorn and snow cones also will be available.
Harper Park is at 8675 Bluebird Ave. More information: 714-839-8611.

words + photos by Joe Cortez
I'm not quite sure if Londoners by way of Peckham Fat White Family are the last great pure rock and roll band or the herald of some coming renaissance but one thing's for certain: what they're doing is vital, important and damn good time. Currently on the road in support of their latest album, the quintessentially English "Songs for our Mothers" (available now via Fat Possum Records) Fat White Family stopped by Santa Ana's Constellation Room this past Thursday night for a night following a date at LA's Satellite the night before.
Like most great rock bands before them, there seems to be an intensely combustible core that binds the members together, seemingly always on the verge of implosion, but it's likely this nucleus, whether known to the band or not, is what gives Fat White Family its power. Sneering their way through a brisk 30 minute (give or take) set, they seemed to regard the Orange County audience with a certain disdain. You'd think such an attitude would be a turn off but it only served to further endear them to the fortunate few gathered for their set.
Check out my photos from the night, also featuring opener Gateway Drugs, below. For more, be sure to like Fat White Family on Facebook and follow @FatWhiteFamily on Twitter.

Visiting Denali in Alaska/
Denali is at the top of the list of places to visit in Alaska - and for good reason. On a clear day, Mount McKinley stands tall at 20,310 feet. A 4 hour drive from Anchorage, Denali is a must-do for hiking enthusiasts. But the question is... do you explore Denali National Park or Denali State Park?
Denali State Park
Denali State Park is super accessible. Right off the highway, it's easy to park in the lot and go up to Kesugi Ridge Trail. From the North, you can either do a 6.6 mile day hike via Little Coal Creek TH, or do a Kesugi Ridge overnight backpacking trip. From the South, you can camp at Byers Lake Campground. There are a few trails accessible from there including the 5.3 mile Byers Lake Trail.
Denali National Park
Denali National Park is famous for Mount Denali/McKinley but wow is it difficult to get to. Most of the park is accessed through a bus system. Did you know 80% of visitors only see Denali NP through a bus window?? You can either get a variety of reservations like a backcountry permit or bus reservation, or ride the free shuttle to Savage River that leaves from the visitor center.
This was a big pain for us, and on a tight schedule I felt like we wasted a lot of time sitting and waiting. We waited for about 2 hours to secure a backcountry permit, and it took an hour to get from the visitor center to the Savage River Campground area. When we got off the bus system, there are definitely some hikes available that are interesting, but they were very similar to Denali State Park.
So which is better?
Without hesitation I think if you are on a tight schedule and want to spend more time outdoors, Denali State Park is the way to go!

I went to the People's Climate March, and I walked, and then I came home. I may or may not write something about it here; I will certainly link to things other people write about it, but not right now.
In the meantime, here's a conversation I had with poet Linda Russo — sort of a semi-mutual interview — about Climate Anxiety Counseling, public making and public listening, and vulnerability.
Thanks to Linda and to Steven Karl of Coldfront.

Nervous about the Impending GDPR? Don't Forget about the U.S. Laws & Regulations
By Bill Tolson, Vice President of Marketing at Archive360
Many high profile hacking cases have cropped up in the news of late, and for a good reason. Hundreds of millions of individuals have had their personally identifiable information (PII) as well as electronic health records (EHR) stolen which has placed them at serious risk of identity theft and account ransom. And, if you are among those that have experienced this, you know that the resulting problems cannot be fixed overnight – in fact, there are those that suffer the aftermath for months, even years, if not indefinitely.
For a business, what are the legal ramifications of a data breach? To start, lets take a look at the legal definition. It is probably not surprising to you that virtually every state and federal government definition of data breach differs slightly, however, the basic definition remains:
The unlawful and unauthorized acquisition of personal information that compromises the security, confidentiality, or integrity of personal information.
An important point that is found in common among many of these individual governmental laws is that if sensitive data is encrypted – making data unusable – a breach cannot have occurred, even if a device such as a phone or laptop containing or providing access to sensitive data is stolen. If data is encrypted, then the notification requirement is not triggered. Encryption is considered a "Safe Harbor" for companies providing them a great deal of protect. Unfortunately, it is still common practice for organizations to ignore PII encryption security.
Today, organizations that are the target of hackers face several serious issues including large government fines, the costs of litigation and eDiscovery and court expenses, such as the costs associated with alerting potential victims, brand depreciation, and negative effects on shareholder equity and of course, the inevitable associated lawsuits. Both state and federal regulations, as well as many foreign governments, have put in place data breach laws. Organizations doing business in these states and foreign countries have to make it over significant hurdles in order to track and prepare for these numerous laws.
State Data Breach Mandates
The majority of states that have data breach laws require companies that have had a data breach that includes PII, to notify those individuals affected by the breach – quickly. A well-known example is the state of Massachusetts.
The Massachusetts security breach and data destruction law is considered one of the toughest to date. Penalties can be triggered by the breach itself however, the biggest fines can be levied on organizations who ignore or can't meet the notification requirements in the time specified. These fines can amount to hundreds of thousands, even millions of dollars, based on the severity of the organization's failure to comply.
The Massachusetts Office of Consumer Affairs and Business Regulation publishes a report every year detailing all the data breaches for the previous year. In 2016, the state reported over 1,900 data breaches which included personally identifiable information. A 2017 paper from Backer Hostetler, lays out a complete summary of each state's data breach laws providing a handy resource for corporate legal departments to reference.
There are two additional points to consider; penalties can be assessed for each record breached, and many state laws specify that companies outside the state holding citizen's data are also subject to the data breach notification laws.
Federal Data Breach Notification Mandates
The federal government has been sluggish to adopt a general nationwide data breach law. – This is really the main reason states have taken it upon themselves to put these laws in place. However, in 2017, three Senators introduced a bill entitled the Data Security and Breach Notification Act which would require companies to report data breaches within 30 days. The bill adds some additional teeth including a penalty; if an individual knowingly conceals a data breach, they could face up to five years in jail.
Two of the better known federal regulations which specify data breach notification is the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA) and the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). The GLBA is targeted at Financial Institutions, and HIPAA is focused on Healthcare providers, Health insurers, Doctor's offices, and any entity that handles patient information.
General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) Mandates
Certainly, one of the most onerous data breach laws is the European Union's (EU) General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). The GDPR is a regulation created by the European Commission to strengthen and unify data protection for individuals within the EU. The GDPR also addresses export of personal data outside the EU.
What organizations are affected by The GDPR? Any company that stores or processes personal information about EU citizens are subject to the GDPR, even if they do not have corporate offices within the EU. Specific criteria are:
- They have a business presence in an EU country
- They do not have a presence in the EU, but it processes personal data of European residents
- They have more than 250 employees
- Or, they have fewer than 250 employees but its data-processing impacts the rights and freedoms of EU data subjects is not occasional or includes certain types of sensitive personal data. That effectively means almost all companies that do business with EU citizens
Non-compliance of the GDPR can trigger huge fines including up to €20 million or 4 percent of global annual turnover, whichever is higher.
One of the hardest requirements of the law is the 72-hour rule. Companies must report data breaches to governmental supervisory authorities within 72 hours. This requirement is a challenge because the notification must include specific information including the data type affected, the size of the breach, and the individuals affected.
So, what are the legal ramifications of a data breach?
As mentioned, government fines, penalties, and in extreme circumstances – jail time, are some of the consequences of not protecting PII adequately.
Legal ramifications many don't consider is the cost of litigation associated with a data breach. Many of the associated lawsuits can end up as class-action lawsuits potentially multiplying the total cost of the breach to unprecedented levels.
Data Breach settlements can be harsh – depending on the Judge or jury. For large data breaches, settlements over $100 million are not out of the question, especially when dealing with healthcare information. Another cost of a data breach many don't include in their planning is having to pay the cost of the plaintiff's legal bills, which can be extremely high.
An ounce of common sense…
All organizations have existing and emerging data breach laws that must be identified and covered. But, there are just a few common sense practices that if adopted, will greatly reduce the costs if a breach does occur. These include:
- Encrypting sensitive PII is a process which every organization can employ. Remember, if data is encrypted and later accessed by cyber criminals, then the breach did not, in fact, occur. Cyber-criminals are extremely good at getting past firewalls and access controls, but if the data is encrypted, it is legally protected. Why this practice is still ignored by many companies is a mystery.
- Never let sensitive data be downloaded to portable devices such as laptops, smartphone, or other types of removable storage. By ignoring this practice is in reality inviting employees to take sensitive data outside of your firewall. Many data breaches occur because employees didn't understand the value nor the consequences of the sensitive data they were taking. Two of the most common reasons for a data breach are; employees losing a device containing sensitive data or the device was stolen, for example from their car trunk. In all of these notable cases, the sensitive data was not encrypted.
- Employ access controls within the firewall as well as all portable devices that contain the data.
- Do not allow employees to use their favorite smartphone to conduct business also known as Bring Your Own Device(BYOD). This practice has become a popular practice in the last several years. Again, this practice invites employees to move sensitive data outside the firewall. Instead, security-conscious organizations should issue company-owned devices with the appropriate security so they can remotely monitor, and if need be, erase the device if it's been reported missing.
The bottom line is that organizations must do everything possible to secure and protect sensitive data to reduce the possibility of a data breach. However, organizations must also prepare for its eventually. The cost of the actual breach can be small when compared to the cost of not preparing adequately for notification. This includes knowing quickly when a breach has occurred. Organizations need to go the extra mile to ensure data security, even if it's costly. Remember, just one data breach of sensitive data can cost your organization many times more in money, bad press, shareholder displeasure, and jobs then the cost to protect and respond to it.

What's in a Name?
Monday, June 29, 2009
Ishtiba Meeajane
Product Marketing Management
Dec '08
Before this course I thought marketing was just one word used to promote any product. I joined this course in Product Marketing to know more about how to sell products. But more and more during our lectures am becoming more reflective about the role of marketing in our lives. Is marketing the mere selling of products? And services? (For my friends in service marketing) This narrow definition that many of us have once given to marketing has been long discarded. Today for my first post I won't bore you with any more theories. I think our case studies in class have been enough for you all.
So let me bring you all to the world of branding. Who has not heard of Gucci, Mc Donald, Louis Vuitton, Coke, Nike, Chanel…and the list continues on. These iconic brands have become part of our daily lives. Some of us swear only by Adidas shoes, the Billabong shorts or the Giordano T-shirt we wear. What is it with those products that make them so appealing? Why do we all purchase them or go mad when we hear about sales of these going on. Like it or not, brands are part of us, part of who we are. This is the power of branding my friends. We may ask ourselves what's in a name after all!!
Is it only about the name or is there more to it? How did brands make it to the top and what was so different about them.. That is what my posts for the following week will focus on. So for the time being, I leave you to reflect on those few things!

text: Jim Monson 36 Posted July 20, 2017 With the new forum format I cannot find my former questions so I will start this afresh. Since AD as yet does not have the Transform Each, I find myself selecting each one of the myriad of spring (water hole) ellipses, clicking on each of these many ellipses in my various layers when changing the size of the ellipses for use in various maps. Selecting each individual ellipses under a layer is also a pain. Question: Is there any way in AD (yet hidden to me) that I could simply use the cursor key to go down through the many ellipses in each layer as I use Transform to change the size of the ellipses? Apple lets me do this on going through Finder files, but I do not see the possibility for layer object. This would big help in the tedious task of selection, although I (like many) yearn for the day when AD will have Transform Each. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Issue: How to fix Camera app error 0xA00F424F on Windows 10?
I cannot use my Camera for a couple of weeks. I can't take pictures and videos respectively, which is really annoying. I'm not sure what can I do, so I would highly appreciate your help. By the way, I get these codes interchangeably: 0xA00F424F and 0xA00F425C.
Solved Answer
Error code 0xA00F424F is a WebCam inherent Windows 10 bug, which usually carries a code 0xA00F425C or 0x803131500 alongside. The error shows up in the form of a black pop-up window when the PC's user attempts to launch apps that require a camera, for instance, Skype, Messenger,[1] and others. The message says:
Something went wrong
Sorry, we weren't able to save the photo.
If you need it, here's the error code: 0xA00F424F(0x803131500)
The error is not fatal. Usually, it does not affect other apps and does not have a negative effect on system's performance. The biggest problem related to it is being unable to use the camera, which may be a big problem for those participate in Skype conversations[2] every day or similar.
Usually, it is triggered by permissions to read or write the content of the folder where you try to save picture's in. In this case, the Camera app works and the user can take the picture successfully. However, he or she can take only one pic and has to restart the app to take another one. To fix 0xA00F424F(0x803131500) error regarding permissions you should do the following:
Change Folder Permissions
- Open File Explorer and right-click on Pictures folder.
- Open Give access to and select a Specific people option.
- Add yourself to the access list.
- Perform the same steps to change permissions for Videos folder and Camera Roll folders.
If you cannot launch your webcam entirely because the 0xA00F424F error pop-ups, then there might be some problems with the Camera drivers or the app itself. Therefore, we would recommend you to update or reinstall Camera drivers, reset Camera app or reinstall it using an elevated PowerShell.
Update Camera drivers
- Right-click on Windows key and select Device Manager.
- Now expand Imaging devices section and right-click on webcam's entry.
- Select the Update Driver Software option.

- Select Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer option.
- Make sure that the Show compatible hardware check box is marked. If not, then mark it.
- Select USB Video Device and click Next.
- The system should automatically update camera drivers. Once done, reboot the system.
If that did not help, try to reinstall Imaging device drivers. For this purpose, open Device Manager -> Imaging Devices as explained above, but instead of Update button, click Uninstall. Once done, reboot the system and navigate to Device Manager again. Here, you should do the following:
- Open Actions tab at the top of the window.
