For a guy who once said "I don't change my style for anyone. Pussies do that." Michael Bay sure seems to get hurt little feelings any time one of his actors points out that Transformers has all the cultural value of those Olestra chips that made your asshole leak. Or as we in the business call it, "acknowledging the obvious." Most recently, it was Hugo Weaving, who provided the voice of Megatron, who said, when asked by Collider if he'd been contacted by Michael Bay about the next Transformers movie:
"No. That's a weird job for me because it honestly was a two-hour voice job, initially. I was doing a play and I actually didn't have time, anyway. It was one of the only things I've ever done where I had no knowledge of it, I didn't care about it, I didn't think about it. They wanted me to do it. In one way, I regret that bit. I don't regret doing it, but I very rarely do something if it's meaningless. It was meaningless to me, honestly. I don't mean that in any nasty way. I did it. It was a two-hour voice job, while I was doing other things. Of course, it's a massive film that's made masses of money. I just happened to be the voice of one of the iconic villainous characters. But, my link to that and to Michael Bay is so minimal. I have never met him. I was never on set. I've seen his face on Skype. I know nothing about him, really. I just went in and did it. I never read the script. I just have my lines, and I don't know what they mean. That sounds absolutely pathetic! I've never done anything like that, in my life. It's hard to say any more about it than that, really."
Pretty diplomatic, really. He felt bad taking a big paycheck to do a movie he didn't care much about. He still took it, but it's not like he said Michael Bay was a black-market organ farmer or anything, he was mostly being self-deprecating. Of course, Michael Bay didn't see it that way, lashing out at unnamed h8ers on his personal website, like a baller do:
Do you ever get sick of actors that make $15 million a picture, or even $200,000 for voiceover work that took a brisk one hour and 43 minutes to complete, and then complain about their jobs? With all the problems facing our world today, do these grumbling thespians really think people reading the news actually care about trivial complaints that their job wasn't "artistic enough" or "fulfilling enough"? I guess The Hollywood Reporter thinks so.
What happened to people who had integrity, who did a job, got paid for their hard work, and just smiled afterward? Be happy you even have a job – let alone a job that pays you more than 98% of the people in America.
I have a wonderful idea for all those whiners: They can give their "unhappy job money" to a wonderful Elephant Rescue. It's the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust in Africa. I will match the funds they donate.
Michael Bay
I would argue "integrity" involves putting out a product you actually believe in, not just being grateful for any job. But I can see how a person would be annoyed if someone agrees to a job only to complain about it afterwards – integrity would be not taking that job in the first place, even though you reeeeally want that money (me, I'd record a birthday song for Hitler if they paid me $200k). But let's not lose focus on the important things: Like that when Michael Bay thinks selfless charity, the first thing that comes to mind is rescuing elephants. Not cancer kids, not battered women or clean drinking water, elephants. "You don't like it, bro, you can go rescue an elephant!"
Poor Michael Bay. I guess it's true what they say, if you want a friend in Hollywood, buy yourself a yacht full of Bengal tigers.

EAST MIDDLEBURY –– The East Middlebury Historical Society is hosting an open house Thursday, June 14, to display its exhibit for the Vermont History Expo before moving it to the site.
The Expo is held at the Tunbridge Fairgrounds next weekend. The theme for this year's Expo is Vermont in the Civil War.
East Middlebury Historical Society's Peggy Peabody said Vermont played a bigger role in the war than most people realize and the town itself has a close connection to the war.

Henley-on-Thames, U.K. – The national-champion Yale lightweights fell this morning to the Harvard heavyweight freshman at the Henley Royal Regatta, ending their bid for the Temple Challenge Cup in the quarterfinals. The Bulldogs were unable to overcome a strong move at the halfway point by the Crimson, eventually falling by ¾ length.
In a moderate tailwind, Yale used a quick start to take the lead coming into the Barrier, crossing the marker at 1:48, one second shy of the previous event record. By Fawley, Harvard had taken the lead by less than a seat, reaching the marker in 3:02. The Crimson took a lead of about one length shortly afterwards and Yale was unable to close the gap. Harvard's time of 6:12 was an event record at Henley by two seconds, breaking Oxford Brookes' 16-year old record. While official times of losing crews are not officially released at Henley, Yale's time would have likely equaled or broken the previous record.
With the loss, Yale ends its national championship season. Harvard will face Cal tomorrow in the semifinals.
Yale's lineup consists of Emma McBurney, (cox), Andrew Hakanson (stroke), Colin Corcoran (seven), David Walker (six), Thomas Swartz (five), William Zeng (four), Greg Hausheer (three), Brendan Harrington (two), and Trey Chandler (bow).
Report filed by Yale Sports Publicity.

Cheap Chalupas would label the young men in the top photo "brutes", and the flabby hunchbacks plugged into the Gaytrix in the bottom photo "evolved men in touch with their feminine side". But the men in the first photo presided over the creation and growth of a great nation, while the low T slobs in the second photo stand by as the country falls apart around them.
So much for "progress" as defined by the ethnic food appreciation cult known as tenured libertarianism. The cuntry needs more brutes if it is to survive, and Trump is the brutish shot across the Effete Elite's bow delivering the message that nationhood-affirming brutishness is back in a yuge way, baby!

The Spice Girls reunited on Tuesday to walk the red carpet for the London premiere of their new West End musical "Viva Forever!."
Melanie Chisholm, Emma Bunton, Melanie Brown, Geri Halliwell and Victoria Beckham all turned out to attend the opening night of the production, which incorporates the girl power group's greatest hits, and they couldn't contain their pride and excitement as they spoke to reporters on their big night.
Chisholm told the BBC, "We are so excited and we're so, so proud. Judy Craymer (producer) and Jennifer Saunders (writer) have done an incredible job and it's amazing, we've got loads of fans out here tonight."
Halliwell, who caught an early preview of the show, reveals watching their songs come to life onstage was "mind-blowing," insisting, "It's a dream come true for the Spice Girls. It's mind-blowing that something that we wrote in a little tiny cold studio, over 14 years ago, and then this West End cast singing our songs, we're so proud."
However, the group didn't appear to be as close as they once were – Chisholm, Bunton, Halliwell and Brown were happy to pose together for photographers, while Beckham opted to stand separately with her soccer star husband David and their kids for the press.
While the Spice Girls expressed delight for the show, critics were less than impressed with the production.
Paul Taylor of Britain's The Independent newspaper gave "Viva Forever!" just two out of five stars and called Saunders' script "charmless, messy, lackluster", before declaring, "Viva Forever! forever? I rather think not."
The Daily Telegraph's Charles Spencer branded the plot "insultingly banal," writing, "This musical is tawdry, lazy and unedifying, and one could sense a miasma of disappointment emanating from an audience of up-for-it Spice Girls fans realizing that they had paid top whack (a lot of money) to see a clunker."
Alex Petridis of The Guardian blamed the Spice Girls' back catalogue for the show's failures, insisting, "There aren't enough memorable hits in a career that lasted for three albums to support two hours of theatre. … The lyrics are required to drive the action on, and these lyrics are appalling."
But he concedes scathing reviews won't hamper the musical's success, adding, "Judging by the crowds of thirty-something ladies leaving the theatre singing 'Stop and Say You'll Be There,' 'Viva Forever!' is critic-proof."

She chose...
congrats to the winners! Love the new blog look. gReplyDelete
Thank you so much. I certainly didn't expect to win the drawing, but I am very grateful that I did! I've been studying fit for several months now. I've been checking books out of my library, my daughter gave me a fitting book for Christmas, and I signed up for Craftsy's perfect fit class with Lynda Maynard. Having this book from your giveaway will give me one more tool in my arsenal of learning this skill. I am very excited. Thank you.ReplyDelete
Congrats to the winners, and your little helpers = ) !!ReplyDelete
Seriously?? I don't know what to say, that's so generous of you, Katie. Please say a special thank you, with a 'high five' to your cute helper. Congrats to Ellen too :-)
Just stopping in to let you know I received your package yesterday. Yay! I'm excited to get started with learning to fit. And thanks for the patterns and fabric, too. So many things to try!ReplyDelete

What do you focus on in your own HIV/AIDS work?
Knowledge is power, so when we look at trying to empower a patient, we look at teaching them about their disease so that they understand it better. That understanding usually helps bring about a change in behavior.
So we do prevention with positives, we do the HIV life cycle, we do pathophysiology [changes in bodily functions caused by disease], and all these things at different intervals, depending on the patient. Either one-on-one, or in a treatment-adherence or PWA [People With AIDS] support group. We have a women's group that is basically just teaching empowerment, being able to say no, having safer sex.
Where is the most progress being made in combating the epidemic in the black community? Where is the least progress being made?
Unfortunately we have a lot of indigent people. If you don't have the basic necessities in life, you're not going to be worried about taking a pill. It really is important to have food to eat, a place to shelter. Those are the basic needs of a human being before we can even talk about HIV medication, adherence and other treatment issues.
What are the top myths about HIV that you encounter in the African-American community?
There are a lot of myths about where HIV comes from. Mosquitoes, polio vaccines, the government -- to kill all African Americans. I hear those things repeatedly. I also hear HIV medications just help you die quicker -- that they cause more harm than good.
Some patients actually do get sick from side effects of the medications, but that doesn't mean that the next patient will get those same symptoms. So I try to say, "These are the potential side effects, "potential" meaning that you may not get it, but it's possible."
How is the HIV epidemic different in the black community than other communities?
Now we're starting to look at that issue in depth. We've done most of our drug studies in the United States on white men. So now they're really trying to increase the number of races in clinical trials to look for pharmacogenomic [genetic-related responses to drug treatment] differences.
We're just starting to get a grip on that, knowing there are different drugs that are tolerated differently by different races. And that's true not just for HIV drugs but also, for example, blood-pressure medications.
I think there's a lot we still don't know. They're looking at differences between races, whether the HIV infection is more aggressive in African Americans than in others. Many African Americans who are infected are living in poverty -- the differences may appear to be caused by race or race-related genetic difference, but it could, in fact, be lifestyle conditions -- inequalities -- that make HIV appear to be more aggressive.
What are your hopes and fears for the next generation of African Americans as they face the risks of HIV?
I have hope that more people will start talking about this, since the numbers are so high in African Americans, especially women. That we'll be more open to talking about sexual risk factors, so that transmission is prevented. I have great fears for the children. I'm a mother of three, and it saddens me that things are in this state. I wonder what's going to happen to my youngest, who's just three. Will there be continuing generations?
In 2005, Bethsheba was one of 73 people in the United States who received an HIV Leadership Award from The Body. We interviewed each of the award recipients; click here to read the transcript.

ZFS file systems are created by using the zfs create command. The create subcommand takes a single argument: the name of the file system to be created. The file system name is specified as a path name starting from the name of the pool as follows:
The pool name and initial file system names in the path identify the location in the hierarchy where the new file system will be created. The last name in the path identifies the name of the file system to be created. The file system name must satisfy the naming requirements in ZFS Component Naming Requirements.
In the following example, a file system named bonwick is created in the tank/home file system.
# zfs create tank/home/bonwick
ZFS automatically mounts the newly created file system if it is created successfully. By default, file systems are mounted as /dataset, using the path provided for the file system name in the create subcommand. In this example, the newly created bonwick file system is mounted at /tank/home/bonwick. For more information about automatically managed mount points, see Managing ZFS Mount Points.
For more information about the zfs create command, see zfs(1M).
You can set file system properties when the file system is created.
In the following example, a mount point of /export/zfs is created for the tank/home file system:
# zfs create -o mountpoint=/export/zfs tank/home
For more information about file system properties, see Introducing ZFS Properties.

U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission
Organization's Policy Requiring Pregnant Employees to Resign Is Discriminatory, Federal Agency Charges
HOUSTON - United Bible Fellowship Ministries, Inc., an organization that provides faith-based, community social services, violated federal law when it forced female employees out of their jobs because of their pregnancies, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) charged in a lawsuit announced today.
According to the EEOC's suit, Shamira Johnson worked as a resource technician, providing home care assistance to disabled individuals. Her duties included housecleaning, light laundering, administering medication, cooking and assisting with personal hygiene and grooming. United Bible terminated Johnson and other pregnant employees according to its "Pregnancy in the Workplace Policy" which required pregnant women in direct client-care positions to stop working during their pregnancy and reapply for a vacant job once they were no longer pregnant. Johnson did not return to work at United Bible after her pregnancy. The policy also unlawfully required applicants to disclose their pregnancy when applying for employment.
Such a policy, and adverse employment actions taken under the policy, violate Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended by the Pregnancy Discrimination Act of 1978. The EEOC filed suit (EEOC v. United Bible Fellowship Ministries, Inc., Civil Action No. 4:13-cv-02871) in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas, Houston Division after attempting to reach a voluntary pre-litigation settlement through its conciliation process. The EEOC is seeking a permanent injunction prohibiting defendant from engaging in any further sex discrimination. The EEOC is also seeking compensatory damages, punitive damages and other relief on behalf of Johnson and other adversely affected pregnant employees.
"An employer cannot dictate through a workplace policy whether a female employee continues to work during her pregnancy, even if the policy arises out of a desire to protect the pregnant employee," said EEOC Houston District Director R.J. Ruff, Jr.
EEOC Regional Attorney Jim Sacher said, "The Supreme Court has made clear that the decision whether a pregnant woman should work rests solely with her. She, and not the employer, is responsible for making decisions that affect her safety and that of her child. An employer's policy which forces leave on a pregnant employee is exactly the type of conduct the Supreme Court has found to be unlawful."
The Houston District Office of the EEOC oversees Eastern Texas and Louisiana.
The EEOC is responsible for enforcing federal laws against employment discrimination. Further information is available at www.eeoc.gov.

Spin Magazine Releases Free Downloads of Nirvana Cover Album, 'Newermind'
Nirvana's 'Nevermind' is lauded as one of the most important albums of the past few decades and its 20th anniversary is fast-approaching (feel old yet?). To celebrate, Spin magazine is releasing an unusual — and free — tribute.
It's called 'Newermind,' and it's a digital-only collection of 'Nevermind' covers, with a different artist handling each track from the diamond-certified seminal album — including appearances by two of Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain's favorite acts, the Vaselines (who cover 'Lithium') and the Meat Puppets (who take on 'Smells Like Teen Spirit').
And did we mention that it's free? All it takes to download the album is 'liking' Spin on Facebook. What are you waiting for?
'Newermind' Track Listing:
1. Meat Puppets: 'Smells Like Teen Spirit'
2. Butch Walker & the Black Widows: 'In Bloom'
3. Midnight Juggernauts: 'Come as You Are'
4. Titus Andronicus: 'Breed'
5. The Vaselines: 'Lithium'
6. Amanda Palmer: 'Polly'
7. Surfer Blood: 'Territorial Pissings'
8. Foxy Shazam: 'Drain You'
9. Jessica Lea Mayfield: 'Lounge Act'
10. Charles Bradley and the Menahan Street Band: 'Stay Away'
11. Telekinesis: 'On a Plain'
12. JEFF the Brotherhood: 'Something in the Way'
13. EMA: 'Endless, Nameless'

Day 4 of the The Launch presented by Rip Curl was supposed to be a cool down day and hit a few of the other features that hadn't been sessioned too much. The riders had a different idea though. Those who didn't have double corks in their bag of tricks worked on adding them, others were getting creative with their lines like Tucker Andrews hand planting on a deer, Trevor Jacob jumping off the deck to pole jam, or Dylan Alito flipping & spinning one footed. You just can't slow these riders down!
A big thanks goes out to the Keystone park staff for building an amazing set-up, Cobra Dogs for providing the grub, Red Bull for providing the heli, and Rip Curl for making it happen.

A deduction in formal logic is a way of proving a proposition. Specifically, when a conclusion is inferred from premises or facts, it is said to "follow" (like the water downstream to the spring source), from previously stated propositions via certain logical rules.
Deduction is used most often in geometry, but also has its place in philosophy and law. Deduction is often un-used in science, as deduction requires that one have certainty of truth of both the major and minor premises—something science is unwilling to make claims about.
The normal contrast to deduction is induction, whereby the two are posed as distinct opposites. However, they are not so distinct as to be alien to each other. Rather, induction and deduction have a single common root from which they necessarily are operationally distinguished: the mind. So, in regard to formal logic in this root sense, a merely mechanical or electronic simulator of genuine mental operations does not possess either any actual deductive or actual inductive logic.
The most famous formal deductive rule goes as follows:
- A is true.
- If A is true, then B is true.
- Therefore, B is true.
Another type of deduction, known as "proof by contradiction", is:
- If Q is true, then R is true.
- R is not true.
- Therefore, Q is not true.
Truth Values in Sentential Logic
T implies T, True T implies F, False F implies F, True F implies T, True
The final two are rooted in the fact that the consequent following from an antecedent that is not true says nothing about the truth or falsity of the statement, it must be assumed to be true.
Aristotle codified the rules of syllogistic deduction two millennia ago in Ancient Greece. He created 256 forms of syllogisms relating to groups of things. For example, an AAA1 syllogism:
- All men are mortal.
- Socrates is a man.
- Therefore, Socrates is mortal.

text: Hi, I am reading, these two lists (beowulf and gromacs) for while now and - seeing so many experts here - I hope I can get some help in setting up a small cluster. It will initially have 4-5 nodes (and will not grow above 8-12 nodes any soon). Primary usage will be gromacs and possibly gaussian and charm. It should also allow using the nodes as independent workstations, i.e. cluster of workstations (COW), Therefore I need HD and graphic card in the nodes and a CPU switch (because the rack will be placed in a remote part of the building). Since I will have jobs mainly running on a single node (or processor) and only occasionally multinode jobs, I dropped GBit ethernet (I can add later if need dictates). Here is the setup so far (after negotiation with a local supplier): ** Board/House: MSI K7D Master MS-6501 (dual) - http://www.msi.com.tw/program/products/mainboard/mbd/pro_mbd_detail.php? UID=344&MODEL=MS-6501 ** Chassis: *** seems to be better (higher power, better cooling and diagnostic leds): Supermicro SC8221-400RC (see http://www.supermicro.com/PRODUCT/Chassis/SC822.htm) *** alternative (weaker): Mapower MP-P26EX32-1 (the IDE disk version, 19", 2U) ( see http://www.mapower.de/produkte.asp): 1.44 MB FDD, S3 3D/2X AGP vid. ** Processor: 2 x Athlon MP 2000+ with CoolerMaster DP-56j31C ** RAM: 512 MB DDR266 SDRAM (non-registered) ** HD: 60GB/5400 ** network interface card (fast): 3Com 3C905 10/100 (M-via supports it: http://www.nersc.gov/research/FTG/via) ** ethernet fast switch: *** 3Com 3C16981 12-port 10/100 switch; this is commonly called 3Com SupersStack 3 switch 3300 (nI don't see anymore on 3com's web page, but http: //support.3com.com/infodeli/tools/switches/s_stack2/3c16980/manual.a05/index. htm and http://support.3com.com/infodeli/tools/switches/s_stack2/3c16950/manual.b03/ index.htm) *** alternative?: 3Com 3C16464C-ME - about one third the price of the 3C16981, but: no management, VLAN and SNMP; and fixed store-and-forward mode. *** alternative?: DLink DES 1016+ 16-port 10/100 switch (less than one 6th the price of the 3C16981!! - http://www.dlink-me.com/products/switches/des1016.htm - forwarding mode not clear to me ** power supply: APC 1400 VA RackMount UPS ** rack: CONTEG 42U, 8 shelves ** Keyboard-Video-Mouse switch extender: Master View ProOSD 8PC+console extender (upto 150m) (185 eHUF) My, somewhat redundant, specific questions: What are the important parameters for a switch for the above purpose? Is the 3Com 3C905/3C16981 NIC/switch combo a good choice? The 3Com Switch 3300 seems to have only store-and-forward forwarding mode (i.e. no on-the-fly or direct forward): is this critical? I read that on-the-fly (or direct) forwarding results in lower latency (on the cost of leaving error checking to other MAC devices in the chain). Does "management" slow down node-node communication speeds or increases latency? Any comment (weak points in the setup, suggestions for alternatives, etc.) would be greatly appreciated. Many thannks in advance, -- Tibor

Jillian Dempsey tallied two goals Saturday against Dartmouth (Gil Talbot).
HANOVER, N.H. – A night after upsetting No. 9/10 Dartmouth, 5-3, at home, the Harvard women's hockey team repeated the feat on the road, skating to a 3-2 victory over the Big Green Saturday afternoon at Thompson Arena. Harvard is now 2-1 against ranked teams this season.
Few shots were fired through the opening period as Dartmouth (6-3-0, 5-3-0 ECAC) managed eight shots on goal to Harvard's (4-2-2, 4-2-2) five. Even with the low shot count, the Big Green jumped out to a 1-0 lead with a tally at the 11:41 mark of the first period. Lauren Kelly fed Moira Scanlon and Scanlon beat Harvard goalie Laura Bellamy to give the hosts a 1-0 edge after one.
Harvard evened the score in the seventh minute of the second stanza, notching its second short-handed goal in as many games. Kate Buesser threaded a pass to Jillian Dempsey and the sophomore found the back of the net for a 1-1 score. The score stayed knotted through most of the middle period but the hosts reclaimed the lead heading into the third as Kelly Foley netted a power-play goal off feeds from Camille Dumais and Geneva Kliman.
The Crimson rallied to tie the score early in the third as Alisa Baumgartner registered her first goal of the season off an Ashley Wheeler pass, giving Wheeler an assist in back-to-back contests. With just over two minutes remaining in the game, Dempsey struck again, potting her second goal of the game off a Leanna Coskren pass to give the Crimson the 3-2 lead for good.
The Crimson held the Big Green to one power-play goal on four chances while Harvard was 0-for-1 in man-up chances. Bellamy registered a season-high 28 saves in her third win of the season while Dartmouth counterpart Lindsay Holdcroft picked up 14 saves on the evening. Harvard earned the win against the Big Green despite being outshot for the first time this season.
Harvard wings westward for its next two contests as the Crimson takes on its third ranked opponent of the season in No. 6/7 Minnesota. The Crimson faces off against the Gophers Friday, Nov. 26 at 7 p.m., and Sunday Nov. 28 at 2 p.m.

Northeastern Oklahoma A&M College and Integris Baptist Regional Health Center and Foundation (WMV, 16.7m)
Since NEO established its nursing program in 1964, Integris Baptist RHC has opened its doors to NEO nursing students for clinical experience. Through the years, the hospital expanded those clinical opportunities to NEO's medical lab technician and physical therapy assistant programs. NEO relies upon the RHC to provide its students with learning experiences that are gained outside of the boundaries of the classroom. In return, the hospital is rewarded by NEO's steady supply of qualified employees. The role of Integris Baptist has expanded with help from its foundation. A gift of $198,000 donated by the foundation to NEO has enabled the college to bring the collaborative Bachelor of Science nursing degree option to its campus. The gift paid NEO's portion of the expense to team with the University of Oklahoma, thus forming the only partnership of its kind in rural Oklahoma. This donation funded NEO's portion of the salaries, supplies, equipment and faculty training needed for the first three years of the program. The funding has given NEO the ability to increase the number of registered nurses in the state during a time when the health care industry is experiencing a shortfall of individuals in that profession. BACK TO LIST

This certification enables OTM to support the aerospace industry on a national level and locally, in support of Tinker Air Force Base/Oklahoma City Air Logistics Center. BACK TO LIST
Rogers State University and the City of Claremore (WMV, 8.6m)
RSU and the city of Claremore frequently pool resources so that residents and students have superior facilities and services. The rapid growth of the university over the last decade required significant investment in infrastructure, and the city stepped forward to make sure utilities were available. New facilities included classroom buildings, the library, student housing, athletic fields and the student center. RSU students, faculty and staff have access to the city's state-of-the-art recreational center and hold many events at the city's Expo Center, including commencement. This partnership also resulted in an emergency communication system. The city provided an emergency generator, while RSU provided the tower and broadcast capabilities. The city also sponsored many events as RSU celebrated its centennial year in 2009-10. BACK TO LIST
Rose State College and Tinker Air Force Base (WMV, 8.9m)

The SSC and BancFirst partnership has been beneficial to both organizations as they collaborate to provide training and facility space. SSC has partnered with BancFirst to provide employee training in insurance education and public seminars on subjects such as counterfeit detection and identity theft protection. For many years, BancFirst has sponsored an all-campus luncheon for employees during in-service training and recently worked with SSC to host the opening session of the annual Leadership Oklahoma retreat in Seminole. The two organizations also joined forces to show support for area firefighters after devastating wildfires consumed the area – hosting a "Heroes" appreciation dinner for several city fire departments as well as volunteer firefighters from across the area. A partnership program established in 2002 with the BancFirst locations in Prague, Meeker and Stroud continues to provide a tuition-free, college-credit course in business leadership for qualified high school juniors and seniors. More than 100 students have taken advantage of the partnership program. BancFirst executives Karen James, Harvey Robinson, Mark Schell and Roger Nansel have all served as either trustees or regents.
