M3 Challenge segment to air on Classroom Close-up, NJ
Manalapan High School team to be featured
Classroom Close-up, NJ will air a segment on the 2008 Moody's Mega Math Challenge first runner-up team from Manalapan High School in Manalapan, NJ, on Monday, December 1, at 7:00 p.m. and again on Saturday, December 6, at 9:00 a.m. on local NJN stations. It can also be viewed online throughout the week of December 1 athttp://njn.net/television/njnseries/classroomcloseup/season08-09/08-09-7.html. (Click on "Watch Current Show" after 8:00 p.m. Monday evening.)
The Classroom Close-up, NJ segment highlights the Manalapan High School team of Michael Bacsik, Jephthah Liddie, Joshua Newman, Thomas Sozzi, and Kevin Tien, all seniors at the time, along with their coach and math teacher, Jessy Friedman. The team won $15,000 for their second-place solution paper, Going Green Does Not Save Green: Corn-based Ethanol and U.S. Energy Independence. Remarkably, Manalapan High School has placed two teams in the top 11 each year of the Challenge. In 2008, Manalapan teams received second place and an honorable mention award. In 2007, teams from Manalapan took both first and second place, and in 2006, Manalapan teams won fifth place and honorable mention honors.
Over 250 teams from lower New Hampshire to Wilmington, Delaware, submitted viable solutions to the 2008 Challenge problem, Energy Independence Meets the Law of Unintended Consequences. They were required to address issues associated with increased corn-derived ethanol production and fuel substitution and relate these matters to dramatic and unanticipated rises in farm commodity pricing, the future of food supplies in developing nations, the effect on carbon dioxide emissions, and the cost-effectiveness of producing ethanol. Teams had 14 hours to quantify these concerns using mathematical-modeling techniques, develop and defend their models, and justify their conclusions. Judging for Moody's Mega Math Challenge is blind with judges knowing teams only by their team number, until the final round of judging. In 2008, eleven teams were awarded scholarship prizes totaling $65,000.

About the Challenge
The M3 Challenge spotlights applied mathematics as a powerful problem-solving tool, as a viable and exciting profession, and as a vital contributor to advances in an increasingly technical society. Scholarship prizes total $80,000. The Challenge is entirely Internet-based and there are no entrance or participation fees. High schools in New England and Mid-Atlantic states may enter up to two teams of three to five students each. Students choose which day they wish to work on Challenge weekend and have 14 hours to solve an open-ended, realistic, applied math-modeling problem focused on real-world issues. Teams can work from any location they choose and can use any free and publicly available resources, but they may not discuss any aspect of the problem with, or seek help from, their coach or anyone other than their teammates.
The Committee Encouraging Corporate Philanthropy (CECP) awarded Moody's Corporation a 2008 Excellence Award for Moody's Mega Math Challenge, citing the company's "sophisticated giving program that encourages students to develop a passion for mathematics, economics, and finance."

And while his light may have dimmed in a physical sense, spiritually his light is stronger than ever. Berner will always be remembered as a great civic-minded resident and a role model to Queens. Even into his ripe age, he engaged his community by tidying up littered streets during his typical mile-long walks with a broom and a trash can. A bowl of oatmeal daily was his brain fuel and his walks served as a key to his longevity.
A native of Stuttgart, Germany, Berner was born on January 27, 1902. He was the second oldest verified American man and New York City's oldest man, according to the Gerontology Research Group. In 1902, the average life expectancy in the United States was 47.
At a spring 2006 Juniper Park Civic Association town hall meeting, when Mayor Michael Bloomberg was designated the group's 2005 Man of The Year for supporting the community's opposition to the proposed Cross Harbor Freight Tunnel, I had the privilege of hearing Berner speak at the podium about his volunteerism. I was proud to shake his hand.
Just a few years prior, at a 2004 civic meeting, the Department of Sanitation awarded Berner the "Partner in a Cleaner New York Certificate of Appreciation" for his lifetime of community service. In 2009, the civic presented him with a Volunteer of the Year Award.
In Germany, Berner was raised by his grandparents after his parents died from tuberculosis when he was young. He learned English at a German public school, and in addition to his native language, he knew French. In 1928, he immigrated to the United States aboard the German-designed SS Bremen.
In 1936, he fell in love and married Margaret (who passed away in 1987), and in 1943 they had their only child, a daughter named Emily. In 1938, they moved into a $5,190 single-family brick house on 81st Street in Middle Village. They quickly joined the Eliot Avenue Civic Association, which later became the Juniper Park Civic Association, which he helped found.
In his early American career, Berner became the Chrysler Building's first night manager in 1930, where he worked for five years, six days a week for ten-hour shifts, supervising 75 cleaning workers and 20 porters. At 77 stories, it was at the time the world's tallest building.
During the latter years of the Great Depression, Berner pursued the American Dream despite the harsh times. From his garage, he created a toy manufacturing business, which specialized in metal toys at first, followed by dolls and stuffed animals such as teddy bears.
For 16 hours a day, he took pride in handcrafting toys. When his creative endeavors appealed to the interests of large business owners, he began training the industry's youngest manufacturers. His creations would later become collector's items. Perhaps his sense of humor and youthful outlook was partially generated by the toys he designed to make countless children smile.
In October 2004 at the age of 102, Berner was interviewed by Newsday, relating the community's needs of yesteryear to its current state.
"Back then, we were a new community and we had very few city services," he said. "We even had to fight for streetlights and sewers. We were also a close-knit community then, and we still are today. That's why I'm still out there all the time, cleaning weeds and picking up trash by the railroad bridge on Caldwell Avenue and helping to maintain the Greenstreet areas, including the one named for me on 81st Street in Middle Village.
"Retirement can be boring, but not for me," he continued. "I consider myself a humanitarian. I enjoy helping my neighbors, especially the elderly, with odd jobs around their homes. I usually walk to Juniper Valley Park, to Stop & Shop supermarket on Grand Avenue, or to Home Depot on Woodhaven Boulevard. I walk an average of five miles a day."
And Berner further reflected on his life during a March 2010 New York Times interview, and complained about overdevelopment and the fact that neighbors did not know one another in comparison to earlier decades.
"Carl Berner dedicated his life to making our community a better place," said Councilwoman Elizabeth Crowley. "He will be sorely missed. His legacy will live on in the countless number of people who were inspired by his dedication towards improving our neighborhoods."
Steve Melnick, a 23-year Forest Hills resident and founder of the Queens Boulevard Restoration Group, feels greatly inspired by Berner. Melnick has a history of taking the initiative to improve Queens Boulevard and other stretches of Forest Hills and Rego Park by addressing safety measures, maintenance, and greening the neighborhood through plantings and tree giveaways.
After learning about Berner's passing, Melnick viewed a vintage photo that depicted Berner perched atop the Art Deco stone eagle of the Chrysler Building, polishing its beak.
"I pass by the Chrysler building every day on my way to my office, but this afternoon, a group of six people surrounded me at Grand Central Station, as I explained the photo and Carl's life," Melnick said. "Tourists and locals were in awe to learn about Carl and this iconic photo's history. There's nothing like it in New York City."
In spring 2012, the Forest Park Civic Association of Queens was founded by Glendale resident Paul Gagliardotto, who is now 27.
"While I didn't know Carl Berner personally, his reputation around the Queens civic community was that of a legend," he said. "We should all be so lucky to have the life he lived. Great wholehearted people like Carl was what built Middle Village to become one of the best neighborhoods in Queens. To help your neighbors and care for your community is something people take for granted, but he certainly inspired me to do more."
Younger generations should recognize Carl Berner's legacy, and walk in his footsteps to actively improve their communities. In his memory, let's request a street to be co-named in his honor, as well as plant trees along the route he frequently cleaned. Rest In Peace, Carl Berner.

CHICAGO — A fundraiser to former Gov. Rod Blagojevich and former Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. has become emotional at his sentencing hearing and says he feared federal prosecutors.
Raghuveer Nayak's remarks came at his sentencing for medical fraud.
Prosecutors have alleged Nayak offered to raise $1 million for Blagojevich's campaign if he named Jackson to President Barack Obama's old Senate seat. Nayak wasn't charged, but prosecutors say the offer should be considered at his sentencing.
And when defense lawyer Thomas McQueen questioned the credibility of the Senate seat allegation, prosecutors said that contradicted Nayak's interviews with federal authorities.
After prosecutors said the defense claims in court may nullify legal protections on Nayak's interview statements, Nayak addressed the judge himself.
Struggling to regain his composure, he said, "I'm really scared of the government."

Prostitute accused of killing yacht-owning client with heroin
(07-08) 19:48 PDT SAN FRANCISCO -- Police arrested a prostitute on homicide charges Friday after they say she administered a lethal dose of heroin to a client and left him to die on a yacht in Santa Cruz last year.
On Nov. 23, police were called to investigate the suspicious death of an unidentified 51-year-old man on a sailboat in the Santa Cruz Small Craft Harbor.
Alix Catherine Tichleman, 26, of Folsom was identified as a suspect after police learned she had a pay-for-sex relationship with the victim, police said.
During interviews with police, Tichleman boasted of having more than 200 clients, all of whom she said she met through a website, SeekingArrangement.com, according to police.
After obtaining e-mails and text messages between Tichleman and her clients, including the victim, police learned she had met with the man the night he died and provided him with heroin, police said.
Detectives obtained surveillance footage from the victim's yacht, which showed the victim overdosing and going unconscious after he was injected by Tichleman, police said.
Rather than call police, investigators say Tichleman gathered her belongings, including drugs and paraphernalia - at one point stepping over the victim's body to finish a glass of wine - before leaving the boat and lowering the blinds to conceal the body, police said.
The victim died from the heroin Tichleman injected him with, according to police.
Detectives placed her under surveillance and learned of another case with similar circumstances connected to Tichleman in another state.
Fearing she might attempt to flee, an officer posed as a client and persuaded Tichleman to meet him at an upscale Santa Cruz location.
When she showed up she was arrested.
Tichleman was being held in the Santa Cruz County Jail on suspicion of second-degree murder, destruction of evidence and transporting and providing narcotics.

PARIS - Atletico Madrid and Sporting Lisbon held the balance of power after Thursday's Europa League semi-final first legs. Atletico, inspired by a Falcao double, beat Valencia 4-2 in Madrid, while a stunning late comeback from Sporting saw them topple Athletic Bilbao 2-1 across the border in the Portuguese capital.
Poor defending by Valencia's Adil Rami was partly to blame for 2010 winners Atletico taking an 18th-minute lead. Arda Turan cut the ball back off the goal line and after taking a deflection Falcao headed past Diego Alves for his 31st goal of the season and his 11th in the last dozen games.
Against the run of play Valencia went into the break all square after Rami headed the ball down for Jonas to tap in from a corner deep into first half stoppage time.
Atletico were only back on the pitch four minutes before they had regained the advantage with the unmarked Miranda heading in low past Alves off Diego's long range freekick. Atletico moved even closer to the final in Bucharest in the 54th minute after a charging run by Adrian Lopez who produced a clinical finish with a tight angled shot to foil Alves.
This was the 24-year-old's 10th goal in Europe this season, a fitting way to mark his 50th game for his club. Falcao then appeared to have wrapped up a memorable night for Atletico, running rings round the Valencia defence to slam the ball into the roof of Alves's net for his 32nd goal of the campaign.
The in-form Colombian striker has fond memories of last year's Europa League final when he scored the winning goal for Porto in Dublin. But some of the gloss was taken off Atletico's night when Ricardo Costa grabbed a potentially crucial stoppage time goal, a header off a corner, to keep Valencia's hopes of making the May 9 final alive.
The prospect of an all-Spanish final looked very much on the cards nine minutes after the restart in Lisbon.
After a first half stalemate Bilbao grabbed an all important away goal when Jon Aurtenetxe volleyed home a freekick from the right after the ball was flicked on by Sporting's Emiliano Insua.
But Sporting weren't about to capitulate having come this far in the competition. They went close to getting back on level terms only for Ricky van Wolfswinkel to miss the target with a gilt-edged header from inside the six yard box. But on 75 minutes former Liverpool back Emiliano Insua did put the hosts back in the game with his header into the corner of Gorka Iraizoz's net.
And five minutes later the Portuguese side completed their comeback when Diego Capel's shot from outside the box whistled past Iraizoz to give Sporting the upper hand ahead of the return leg in Bilbao. Bilbao forward Oscar de Marcos will miss next Thursday's game after picking up a first half yellow card.

The local and global properties of the retarded and Feynman Green functions to the wave equation in curved spacetime are crucial for radiation reaction in the classical theory and for renormalisation in the quantum quantum theory. Building on an insight due to Avramidi, we provide a system of transport equations for determining key fundamental geometrical bitensors determining the local Hadamard singularity structure of these GreenâÂÂs functions. We illustrate their use in a semi-recursive approach showing how to determine covariant expansions to high order, for example, calculating the tail term reflecting backscattering by the curvature of spacetime to 20th order in the geodesic separation in a matter of minutes, and as the basis of numerical calculations. We also present an efficient method to construct covariant expansions of the tail term, without using the formal Hadamard light-cone expansion. Finally we discuss the relationship between the geodesic structure, quasi-normal modes with associated excitation factors and the global behaviour of Green functions in black hole space-times.

Cuff Links Guide
Cuff links, like so many accessories have been creatively forged into the Judaica market to bring Jewish meaning and rich culture to a simple piece of fashion. Its origins lie in France with the great King Louis but have since become fashion the whole world round. While they were once very popular, they are now considered a luxury item.
What are Cuff Links?
Cuff links are what once fashionably held your button-less cuffs together. The majority of shirts now have buttons on the cuffs foregoing the seemingly forgotten cuff link. But they are still prevalent among the fashionable.
The earliest shirts like those of today were about in the early 1500s, but the cuff link only came to be when King Louis of France himself did away with the old strings that had been tying cuffs together and invented a new device: the cuff link.
To close your sleeves with the aide of cufflinks is now considered to be luxurious and upper class, so the used materials tend to reflect this trend. Most cuff links are made of rich material. Gold and pure silver are common sites on the cuff links market while diamonds and glittering jewels of decorative quality are also highly desired additions to close your cuffs.
However, there are other options available that present a cheaper product that is equally as stylish. The French Charvet button otherwise known as a monkey's fist or Turk's head was introduced to the scene in 1904 and quickly caught on. In present day, these are barely made of silk as elastic is preferred for is durability. Over time, this product became fashionable enough that many metal cuff links are made to mimic the Charvet buttons.
Style and Decoration
There are a number of different styles employed by the cuff link and a limitless amount of decorative possibilities. One stylistic choice is the Charvet button mentioned above, but the generally popular choice is the two disc-shaped ends connected by a small rod or chain. These can be worn with "kissing" cuffs when the ends are pinched together and pointing outward. Cuffs can also be clasped together with one cuff end overlapping the other. "Kissing" is generally preferred.
Decoration comes in an extensive number of possibilities. The end of the cuff link that is visible can be decorated with nearly anything. Any sort of etching or meaningful symbol is fashionably sound and some are even studded with expensive diamonds or jewels.
For More Information
For more information on cuff links or Judaica, feel free to contact our Judaica experts with any questions or concerns.

Wrist Pain
Based on your answers, some of the most likely causes of your joint pain are degenerative joint disease (also called osteoarthritis), rheumatoid arthritis (or a related condition), or a form of crystal-induced arthritis such as gout or pseudogout.
Infection is less likely but is always a possibility when pain is significant, especially if swelling is present. More than one of these may be present at the same time.
While over-the-counter pain medicines, a splint, rest and ice may be helpful, it is important that you see a physician to evaluate these symptoms.

what does dialouge means and when do i have to put it in
why don't i just do it like this
{\alpha&HC0&\t(0,240,1,\alpha&H00&)\t(240,480,1,\a lpha&HC0&)}{\k480}Ko
i didn't understand u very well but i think u mean like bleachs DB opening
u can use a trick like putting \1a&HFF&\3a&HFF& it'll look just like it's fading and the \fscy just do it normally

ThunderEmperor : I don't quite understand your question. What are you trying to do, or what are you trying to clrify? Exactly which tag do you have question on?
One thing for sure - I don't think you want \k480. \t's time codes are in miliseconds, while \k's time code is in centiseconds. So, at the beginning of the line, \k48 translates to \t(0,480,<effect>).

Well, I've released my ssa to after effects script.
I still haven't created a tutorial for that but *real* after effects users might find a real use of it. I'll create one later and, maybe, hand projects exemples. It's not complete either since there are missing functions in the after effects scripting.
It's on my website, www.shinjipierre.be
Just keep in mind that it's just a tool, you need to know how to use after effects in order to do something and that's it's not just "adding a filter".
There's also the paul tursley's script if you want to try it (I never tried it, it might be better, i don't know) : http://aenhancers.com/viewtopic.php?t=247

For example:
//Function which transforms the line into an after effects text by removing the { } things function transLigne (ligne) { var new_ligne = ""; for($i=0;$i < (ligne.length);$i++) { if(ligne[$i] != '{') { //if it's not a {, I copy it. new_ligne += ligne[$i]; } else { if($i != 0 && new_ligne[$i-1] != ' ') { //if it's a {, I add a space new_ligne += ' '; }//if while(ligne[$i] != '}') { //I remove the things in {...} $i++; }//while }//else }//for return(new_ligne); // I return the result }//function
CAssEvent.prototype.getPlainText = function getPlainText() { var sTmp = new String(this.Text); return sTmp.replace(/\{[^\{]*\}/g, ""); //looking at your source here should be " " instead of "" }
options_ligne[9] = ligne.substring(num_option,100000000);

It was just a suggestion, but well, the important thing is that the code works
But regexps help a lot with text parsing, you should give them a try next time.
I also have my own ass->ae script, it's even object oriented, but the gui is a bit ugly

Basically, you're deleting the part of image, and replace that part with new text. And if that doesn't fell the entirety of the deleted section, you have to make that portion up using the information surrounding it, and make the best effort on doing that. All that is mostly a manual process, frame by frame, with some help from custom scripts and filters.
Is that what I just heard?

hi, how to do this? http://img439.imageshack.us/img439/4153/gsdkar0dw.jpg
in motion, syllables move along path; blur is probably just multiple layers w/ different alpha-- problem is path motion, so smooth

I wrote it for a remake of the KAA Full Moon o Sagashite OP effect. (Which will be used fom ep 8 on.)
It's basically about first defining the path, then simulating movement along it.

Though the effect is rather simple, and it doesn't take much code either, you need a program to generate the effect, because it requires one line per syllable, with the syllables being positioned to match each other.
Here's a little script that makes the effect I think you're after. It transforms this line:
Dialogue: 0,0:00:00.00,0:00:10.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,{\k100}foo {\k100}bar
Dialogue: 0,0:00:00.00,0:00:10.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,{\pos(284,50)\t(0,0,\fry360)} Dialogue: 0,0:00:00.00,0:00:10.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,{\pos(303,50)\t(0,1000,\fry360)}foo Dialogue: 0,0:00:00.00,0:00:10.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,{\pos(339,50)\t(1000,2000,\fry360)}bar
name = "Y axis rotate" description = "Makes the syllables rotate around their Y axis" version, kind, configuration = 3, 'basic_ass', {} include("karaskel-adv.lua") function do_syllable(meta, styles, config, line, syl) local newlin = copy_line(line) newlin.text = string.format("{\\pos(%d,50)\\t(%d,%d,\\fry360)}%s", line.centerleft+syl.center, syl.start_time, syl.end_time, syl.text) return {n=1, [1]=newlin} end

Great program! If I could make one suggestion for future releases, though, it'd be the ability to add multiple {\t}'s on a line with different time values based on the start and end times on the \k. So you could, for example, turn {\k30} into {\t(0,150,\bord10)}{\t(150,300,\bord3} by putting in "s" in the "Start" field and "(s+e)/2" in the End field for the first effect and "(s+e)/2" for Start and "e" for End on the second effect.
Uh... if that makes sense...
But anyway, great program as is. I'll get use out of this one for sure! Thanks!

Jan. 27, 2007
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - For the first time since 1990, MIT rifle captured first-place at the Bean-Pot shoot off, while winning the Collegiate Sectionals in both guns. The Engineers swept the five -team field with standout rookie Emily Houston serving as the weekend's top marksman.
In a field that included the U.S. Coast Guard Academy, Penn State, John Jay and Wentworth, MIT closed with an aggregate that was over 200 points higher than the second-place Bears. MIT finished with a score of 4431, while Coast Guard (4260) took second and the Nittany Lions (4214) finished third. The Engineers shot 2191 in smallbore and totaled 2240 in air.
In the Collegiate Sectional, Houston took the Gold in both guns with a 569 in air and a score of 567 in smallbore. Senior Anton Katz helped solidify the historic win by earning the Silver in air (566) and the Bronze in smallbore (558).
Senior Nathan Pfaff and sophomore Jake Latcham capped MIT's scoring contingent. Pfaff enjoyed two incredible rounds before settling for a total of 543 in smallbore, and was even more focused in air, finishing fourth among all competitors with a total of 558. Latcham shot 543 in air and 523 in smallbore.
The Engineers unveiled three new competitors in Saturday's home-range victory. Freshman Jennifer Paek shot 528 in her air debut and 502 in smallbore, while fellow rookies Julia Yu (446) and Justine Li (440) also competed in smallbore.

Stockton —
A federal judge ruled Monday that Stockton is eligible for bankruptcy protection, but left the door open for CalPERS obligations to be part of negotiations in the coming phases of the bankruptcy.
Over the objection of creditors who argued the city could come up with more money, U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Christopher Klein said Stockton can move forward with a plan to reorganize debt. He twice stated that the creditors had acted in bad faith and had refused to pay their share of the costs for negotiations.
"The creditors got a big black eye today," said Karol Denniston, an attorney who helped draft the legislation that guided Stockton's mandated mediation before filing for bankruptcy protection. "Now the stage is set for the real dogfight."
In late June, Stockton became the nation's largest city to fail financially. At that time, all eyes were on the port city of 300,000 as experts warned the action could set off a string of similar filings among cash-strapped municipalities. Since then, a half-dozen cities have filed for Chapter 9 protection under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, including the city of San Bernardino.

Hundreds, the insanely addictive iPhone and iPad puzzle game by Semi Secret Software, has been updated to allow you to play your own music in the background. That's right, you now get to pick your own soundtrack. They've also added volume sliders for both music and sound effects, so unlike movies and commercials, you can control the relative values of what you hear.
Unfortunately, an iCloud bug slipped in that's causing some stability issues for some users. Semi Secret Software has submitted a fix, and are hoping it will be approved soon.
Note: Developer Adam "Atomic" Saltsman was good enough to sit down and talk Hundreds, Canabalt, and game design with us on Debug. Give it a listen.

A general election that ushered in new faces, a winter freeze that decimated apple crops, an improvement in the local economy and a murder at a local flea market were a few of the events that were news makers in Henderson County over the past 12 months.
A general election that ushered in new faces, a winter freeze that decimated apple crops, an improvement in the local economy and a murder at a local flea market were a few of the events that were news makers in Henderson County over the past 12 months.
The top story of the year was the May 8 Republican primary and the Nov. 6 general election, which impacted residents on a local, state and national level.
Former two-term Henderson County Commissioner Grady Hawkins defeated incumbent Bill O'Connor and three other candidates in the May 8 Republican primary election to win the District 5 seat, while Commissioner Charlie Messer was elected to his fourth consecutive term on the board.
In the race for the 11th District congressional seat, Republican candidate Mark Meadows faced fellow Republican Vance Patterson in a runoff election in July after none of the eight candidates received more than 40 percent of the votes cast in the May 8 Republican primary. Meadows beat Patterson in the runoff election.
Henderson County ceased to be a dry county as a result of the May primary, when voters passed a multi-inclusive referendum to permit the sale of alcoholic beverages in unincorporated parts of the county. The referenda that passed included allowing beer and wine sales in restaurants as well as convenience stores and grocery stores.
Also voted in was the operation of ABC stores (67 percent approval) and legalizing the sale of mixed beverages in hotels, restaurants, private clubs, community theaters and convention centers (68 percent in favor).
Residents joined a majority of voters in the state in approving a constitutional amendment in May that defines marriage in North Carolina as a union between only one man and one woman.
In the Nov. 6 general election, Meadows defeated Democrat Hayden Rogers for the 11th District congressional seat to replace Heath Shuler, who did not run for re-election. On the state level, North Carolina elected a new governor, Republican Pat McCrory, and District 113 voters decided to send Transylvania County School Board Chairman and U.S. Air Force officer Chris Whitmire to Raleigh for the seat in the state House of Representatives.
Officials with the Henderson County Board of Elections said voter turnout was "moderately heavy" for the Nov. 6 election.
Apple crop takes a hit
Henderson County apple farmers were dealt a severe blow when a late freeze decimated the area's crop. Major freezes that occurred April 12-13 did extensive damage to the apples, said Marvin A. Owings Jr., an agricultural agent for the N.C. Cooperative Extension in Henderson County. The result was a less-than-bountiful harvest of the prized fruit, resulting in higher prices.
Playhouse controversy
Flat Rock Playhouse was a lightning rod for controversy in 2012 amidst concerns that the state theater was in danger of closing because of financial woes.
Unaudited financial statements of the Playhouse showed it had a $1.4 million net operating shortfall in 2010, and by December of this year, the Playhouse was staggering under more than $2 million in debt. The community became polarized as debate raged over whether to implement an additional 1-cent accommodations tax with revenues directed to the Playhouse. The tax proposal was tabled for additional study, but Henderson County commissioners approved $100,000 in aid for this fiscal year.
In December, the cash-strapped Playhouse surpassed a $250,000 fundraising goal, and Flat Rock Village Council approved a "one-time emergency donation" of $100,000 to help defray the debt.
Sierra Nevada chooses Henderson County
Henderson County's employment picture brightened with the January announcement that Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. had chosen the area as its base for the company's East Coast operations.
The company plans to create 95 full-time jobs and 80 part-time positions and invest $107.5 million in the county during the next five years. The jobs will be created in phases and continue through 2013. Sierra Nevada officials said this fall that the opening date for the brewery would occur in the summer of 2013, several months ahead of schedule.
The introduction of California-based Sierra Nevada was followed by an announcement that Longmont, Colo.-based brewery Oskar Blues would open in Brevard. Oskar Blues unveiled its first batch of locally brewed beer to the public in early December.
Sheriff selected
The saga of embattled former Henderson County Sheriff Rick Davis came to an end in 2012 as Charlie McDonald was selected by the Henderson County Republican Party Executive Committee to replace Davis.
Davis announced in November 2011 that he was taking a leave of absence to seek treatment for bipolar disorder. After much wrangling with county commissioners, Davis applied for, and received, medical retirement. McDonald will serve as Henderson County's sheriff through 2014.
Former teacher pleads guilty
Former Hendersonville teacher Deborah Lee Tipton pleaded guilty in September to two of three federal charges stemming from a sexually explicit video of a 12-year-old girl that she was accused of sending over the Internet to her former principal.
Tipton, a former Mountain Community School teacher who also faces prosecution on state charges in connection with the video, entered guilty pleas in U.S. District Court in Asheville to the lesser of the three charges listed in an indictment handed down in April. Tipton, 45, was accused of sending a video of a girl exposing her genitals to Chad Hamby, a former principal at the Hendersonville charter school.
Man charged with killing wife
The body of Hendersonville resident Shelby Wilkie was found in a field off Kanuga Road in January, three days after her husband reported her missing and made a tearful plea for her return on a local TV station.
Police charged Wilkie's husband, Michael Leroy Wilkie, with murder on Jan. 8, after authorities say he confessed to the killing. Family members said Shelby Wilkie, 38, had hired a divorce lawyer and was going to leave her husband, who had a history of domestic violence. A trial date has not been set yet, but Wilkie could face life in prison or the death penalty if convicted.
Economy makes small gains
Unemployment in Henderson County dropped to nearly a four-year low at 6.5 percent in October as indications pointed to improvements in the economy.
N.C. Department of Commerce Division of Employment Security officials reported increased hiring by local manufacturers. And several new businesses, along with expansions planned by current companies, will bring more jobs in 2013.
In January, Legacy Paddlesports announced it had chosen Fletcher to be its new home. The kayak manufacturer plans to invest $4.5 million in the project, which will create 72 jobs. Blue Ridge Metal Corp. in Fletcher announced in March that it planned to expand and create up to 15 new jobs.
In July, Etowah-based Kiln Drying Systems & Components Inc. announced that it would begin a $1.4 million expansion project that would provide 19 new jobs with an average wage of just over $50,000 with benefits. Burntshirt Vineyards opened its doors at 2695 Sugarloaf Road in Hendersonville in September, making it the state's 114th winery.
In the latest announcement, Zentric Inc., an alternative energies research and development company, said it plans to consolidate and relocate the company's headquarters to Fletcher. The company plans to create 116 new jobs and invest $7 million in real and business personal property over the next few years.
Man shot to death at flea market
Sunday-morning shoppers were shocked in February when Paul Allen Bradish, 59, of Asheville, was gunned down at Smiley's Flea Market on Feb. 26.
Witnesses said the shooting happened after Bradish argued with another vendor, Otha Ray Barefoot, 26, of Greer, S.C., over the prices of tools they were selling. Barefoot has been charged with murder. He was released from the Henderson County Detention Center on a $250,000 secured bond on May 3. He is scheduled to appear in Superior Court on June 24, 2013.
Double-suicide stuns residents
A well-known Black Mountain doctor and her husband, who lived in Lake Summit, were found dead in Texas in August. Leslie Cargile and her husband, William Cargile, had been missing for nearly a week when their bodies were discovered inside a locked hotel room in Galveston, Texas.
The deaths have been ruled suicides. Authorities say the couple had said they were going on an anniversary trip and left their cellphones at home. The Galveston County Medical Examiner's Office said 53-year-old Leslie Cargile had at least six different drugs in her system, including powerful prescription painkillers and sedatives, and that Cargile's husband likely died a day or two before his wife.
Authorities ruled out foul play shortly after confirming the deaths of the couple.
Also in the news:
• A shooting in March on Towhee Drive, near the intersection with Robinson Terrace in the Green Meadows community of Hendersonville, garnered attention from the state chapter of the NAACP. Hendersonville police responded to a call about a breaking and entering in which Fletcher Smiley, 41, of 702 Ashe St., Hendersonville, had been identified as the suspect.
Smiley was shot by officers who thought he was reaching for a weapon as he ran from authorities, according to a news release from the Hendersonville Police Department. Residents said multiple shots were fired near homes, leaving bullet holes in several homes and Union Grove Missionary Baptist Church.
The Rev. William Barber II, president of the NAACP of North Carolina, visited the church in May and said lawyers for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People would look into the incident. In July, Barber said officers had engaged in an indiscriminate "shooting spree" that left bullet holes in the church and surrounding homes as the organization said it planned to file formal complaints with the U.S. and N.C. Departments of Justice.
No criminal charges were filed against the three police officers involved in the shooting, but Hendersonville Police Chief Herbert Blake fired one of the officers and suspended another for two weeks without pay for failing to follow police department policy,
• Alyson Myers of Arden fell through a rotted porch floor and down a 60-foot well at a home on Sugarloaf Road in June. The 16-year-old was trapped in the well for more than five hours. In July, Myers and her family participated in an event at the Dana Fire Department to personally thank everyone involved in her rescue.
• Hendersonville Christian School, a private school that had been in existence for 50 years, closed in July due to financial troubles. In August, several teachers who were laid off in June 2011 said they did not receive their last two months of pay, although former Headmaster Skip Goldsmith disputed that the teachers were owed any back pay.
Some of the teachers filed complaints with the N.C. Labor Board over the missing paychecks. In a letter from the N.C. Department of Labor to one of the teachers, Senior Investigator Shari Phelps stated: "This office substantiated your wage claim and determined that the above named employer owes you $4,463.10 in back wages. However, the employer has refused to voluntarily pay the back wages. This office has decided not to take legal action on your behalf. You are free to pursue the back wages on your own in court."
Former School Board member Dr. Chip McChristian said he estimated that the amount owed to the teachers was $80,000 to $90,000.
After it closed, the school was put up for sale. In October, Henderson County commissioners agreed to buy the school on South Grove Street for $910,000. The 9.45-acre property will become Henderson County's new athletics and activity center.
• Disbarred Hendersonville attorney Sam Neill pleaded guilty to five state charges of felony embezzlement in September in Henderson County Superior Court. Neill pleaded guilty in April to federal tax fraud. Pending his efforts with restitution payments, Neill faces up to 84 years in prison for stealing more than $2.5 million from estates and trusts under his care. He is awaiting sentencing.
• Rutherford County resident Steven Ramirez was sentenced to life in prison after a Henderson County jury in September convicted him of first-degree murder in the 2009 shooting death of Oscar Lee "Poochie" Corn during a home invasion.
• Several people well-known in Henderson County passed away in 2012. Stuart Stepp Jr., 60, passed away April 7. The architect owned and operated Stuart Stepp AIA Architect in Flat Rock.
Stepp designed many buildings in the county, including the Hendersonville Country Club, the City of Hendersonville Operations Center, Mills River Town Hall, the new Fletcher Town Hall and numerous fire departments and churches.
Chat Jones, 63, died Oct. 12. The owner of Jones Auto Sales, he and his brother, Donnie Jones, founded the Special Needs Baseball League with the support of the Hendersonville Kiwanis Club. Jones was also credited with playing a role in getting the Hall of Fame started through the Henderson County Education Foundation.
Joe Dan Spearman Sr., 77, passed away Nov. 6. An avid supporter of education in Henderson County and longtime Blue Ridge Community College Board of Trustees chairman, Spearman served on the board from 1980 until 2007. He was also a Henderson County School Board member from 1982 until 1996. Spearman served as a Henderson County commissioner from 1978 until 1982.

This week, "Israeli Apartheid Week" (IAW) takes place on campuses in Canada and elsewhere. As happens every year, a small group of marginal activists hold events designed to slander Israel as a racist and fundamentally illegitimate state.
For students and faculty who support Israel – including both Jews and non-Jews – the vile distortions of IAW are offensive, frustrating and even angering. At a time when regimes across the Middle East persecute minorities and even slaughter civilian protestors, IAW singles out and attacks the sole democracy in the region. Perhaps worse, IAW advocates a rejectionist, aggressive approach to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
While Israeli leaders propose peace agreements, IAW activists call for a boycott of Israeli academics, athletes, and small businesses. While Israeli leaders call for coexistence and negotiations with Palestinian moderates, IAW activists embolden Palestinian extremists by redefining terrorism as "resistance." And while Israel's supporters push for a two-state solution to secure a future for both sides, many IAW activists call for a one-state "solution" – knowing full well this would mean the end of Israel. For IAW, it's not about peace. It's about the Jewish state's very existence.
In fact, the longtime academic mentor of IAW, extremist professor Norman Finkelstein, made this very point in a revealing interview at Imperial College London on Feb. 9. Clearly exasperated with the Boycott Israel campaign, Finkelstein blasted it as a "cult" that has achieved fewer victories than he can count on his 10 fingers. He charged that the movement "will never reach a broad public until and unless they're explicit on their goal. And their goal has to include recognition of Israel, or it's a non-starter. It won't reach the public. Because the moment you go out there, Israel will start to say: 'What about us? They won't recognize our rights.' And that is correct… There's a large segment of the movement that wants to eliminate Israel."
Finkelstein's analysis lies at the heart of why the IAW crowd has failed to resonate with a broad campus constituency. In refusing to endorse the two-state solution, the movement's rhetoric and goals are patently self-defeating. And its failure can be measured not in its fiery words, but in its lack of results.
University administrations have overwhelmingly condemned the boycott campaign and are strengthening ties with Israeli institutions. IAW events typically garner no more than a handful of already committed anti-Israel activists. And mainstream newspapers outside of our community give IAW very little coverage – and even that has declined dramatically. A recent study by the government of Israel found that coverage of IAW dropped last year by 40 per cent over the previous two years, noting that "in general media terms, IAW is a non-event."
Despite the well-founded anxiety IAW causes our community, Finkelstein's frustrations are very instructive. The boycott campaign, along with IAW, while perhaps providing a satisfying emotional outlet for anti-Israel activists, has miserably failed to resonate with average students and faculty.
Our community faces serious challenges on campus, not the least of which is the influence of those postmodern professors who promote a distorted perspective on the Middle East. The cumulative impact of such anti-Israel views, presented as respectable scholarship, is far more worrisome than the shrill and sparsely attended events of IAW. This issue, along with a number of other key long-term concerns, cannot be taken for granted.
Under the chairmanship of David Koschitzky, the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs is working with local partners across the country to provide students with practical tools, expertise, and one-on-one issue consultation. We are supporting local Hillels, the Canadian Federation of Jewish Students, and other pro-Israel groups on campus to counter this challenge in a co-ordinated, sustained, and strategic manner. Empowering students is at the core of this approach, for it is students who are at the forefront of the battle of ideas.
There's no question that IAW makes for one nauseating week of slogans, slander and sloppy history. But we must not take our eye off the real ball – the deep-seated challenges students are facing, that require our community to be at the top of our game 52 weeks a year.
Howard English is Senior Vice President, Greater Toronto Area and University Affairs, at the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs.
