District Energy Manager Kimberly Joseph said little things such as turning off lights and unplugging appliance add up to big savings.
"Employees who are vigilant about energy savings make an impact on the school system's budget as well as the planet," she said.
Since partnering with ENERGY STAR 11 years ago, total cost avoidance has exceeded over $6 million.
FRANKFORT -- Thirty-four recent high school graduates from Bullitt County have been named Sen. Jeff Green Scholars by the Kentucky Higher Education Assistance Authority (KHEAA). To earn this honor, a student must have a 4.0 grade point average each year of high school and at least a 28 composite on the ACT.
These students have also earned $2,500 a year in Kentucky Educational Excellence Scholarship (KEES) awards. If they keep their grades up in college, they will have $10,000 to use toward a four-year degree.
SHEPHERDSVILLE - By a 4-1 vote, the Bullitt County Public School Board has once again increased the school tax by a maximum 4 percent rate.
The vote took place during a special meeting on Monday night. Board member Darrell Coleman was the lone vote against the rate.
Bullitt County residents will now pay 73.2 cents per $100 of assessed real and personal property.
BCPS finance director Lisa Lewis said the estimated increase in revenue would add an estimated $3 million, to a proposed overall total of about $45 million.
Bullitt County Public School Bus Driver Mike Mabry was awarded his second Blue Ribbon in as many years for the amber honey created by bees on the 80-acre Mabry Cupio Lane Farm in western Bullitt County he shares with his wife, Wanda.
State fair judges liked the honey's appearance and texture.
Two Bullitt County High School seniors each received the $1,000 2018 Joyce Hall Cotton Scholarship Award made possible by the Bullitt County Arts Council.
LaKyra Mullins, a graduate of Bullitt Central High, plans to attend Morehead State University to pursue a master's degree in music education.
Ashley Seigle, a graduate of Bullitt East High, plans to pursue a degree in Marketing and Graphic Design.
Crossroads Elementary School has received a major 21st Century Community Learning Center continuation grant from the Kentucky Department of Education.
A total of $490,000 has been awarded for the center to continue providing services for the next five years.
District Grant Writer Ashley Byrum explained the grant is a partnership between Crossroads, the Bullitt County Cooperative Extension Office, and other partners such as the Bullitt County Library and Crossroads FRC.
SHEPHERDSVILLE -- Michael Paul Rippy Jr. was Bullitt Central High School's top 2018 graduate and is majoring in finance as a University of Kentucky freshman.
Michael Paul Rippy Sr. is a successful builder and project manager for EH Construction which built the college and career centers at Bullitt East and North Bullitt High Schools along with the major renovations at Mount Washington Elementary and Bullitt Lick Middle Schools.
The father and son chose different paths…one selected the college pathway while the other opted for a career choice.
SHEPHERDSVILLE -- Your tax rates paid to the Bullitt County Public School System could be on the rise.
The school board will host a public hearing on Monday, Sept. 10, to listen to comments on the proposed tax rates.
The proposal is to take the allowed increase but not fall into the area of exceeding the 4 percent hike, which could result in voter recall.
SHEPHERDSVILLE - One month into the new administration, and one week after the 2018-19 semester was underway, superintendent Jesse Bacon was ready to talk.
Bacon suggested that the Bullitt County Public School Board hold a session to discuss the state of the district now that the start of the year was completed.
For starters, Bacon wanted to make certain that all communications procedures between himself and the board members were satisfactory. He mentioned texting all members after a bus accident on opening day.

A Short History Of The Dardanelles Campaign
The Dardanelles, a narrow 60-mile-long strip of water that divides Europe from Asia, has been of great strategic significance for centuries. Carefully secured by international treaty, it was the closing of the Dardanelles that eventually brought the Ottoman Empire into the war as a German ally at the end of October 1914.

Spotlight on Gay Gaddis: JLA Sustainer and All Around Renaissance Woman
When I meet a member of The Junior League of Austin (JLA), I am continually impressed by the Renaissance women who make up our League. This could not be more true of JLA Sustaining member Gay Gaddis.
Gay Gaddis founded T3 (The Think Tank), an award-wining advertising agency, and grew it into the largest independent, female-owned agency in the United States.

In 2018, Gaddis' entrepreneurial story was published by the Hachette Group in her book, Cowgirl Power: How to Kick Ass in Business and Life. A professional speaker on women's issues, company culture, and entrepreneurship, Gaddis educates the next generation of leaders through custom leadership training and Women Who Mean Business, a successful, new development program that Gaddis founded and co-teaches at McCombs School of Business at the University of Texas.
Besides being a successful entrepreneur and author, she is also an artist. Her work has been shown at prestigious galleries in New York and Santa Fe, New Mexico. Texas Monthly magazine named Gaddis as one of the "Top Ten Artists to Collect Now."
Beyond this she also finds time to volunteer, lending her expertise sitting on the board of the University of Texas' alumni organization, Texas Exes. She is also an advisor for both the College of Fine Arts and the Moody College of Communication at the university.

She is featured on the cover of Texas CEO Magazine. Gaddis' cover story in Texas CEO Magazine, "A Texas Trailblazer," anchors an issue that includes an overview of Austin's startup funding scene; an in-depth analysis of career paths taken to the CEO role; and interviews with notable Texas leaders like Jaimee Eddington, regional leader of Heidrick & Struggles' Americas region and Brooke Waupsh, founder and CEO of Swoovy.
Texas CEO Magazine's publisher and CEO, Donna Bragg, who wrote the cover story, said about the piece, "[Gaddis] generously shared her entrepreneurial journey, holding nothing back, and let me pick her brain on everything from the advertising industry to the art market to what it means to be 'kickass.' The result is one of my favorite stories we've done since I came on as publisher last year. I know our readers will be inspired by Gay's grit and perseverance and enriched by her advice. We can't wait to share it with them."
Gaddis shared her excitement, saying, "Hard work, knowing my personal power and working with an extremely talented and dedicated team is a big part of my success…After reinventing myself many times over, it is a great honor to be on the cover of Texas CEO Magazine with the hopes of inspiring other businessmen and -women to take big leaps in their lives and careers."
Gay Gaddis: entrepreneur, author, artist, volunteer, and covergirl, truly embodies the Renaissance woman. We are proud to recognize her during National Volunteer Month and honored that she is a Sustaining member of The Junior League of Austin.
Jenn Wilson, LeagueLines Editor, is currently in her fourth year of service with The Junior League of Austin. She enjoys the outdoors, conservation work, animals, and the arts.

Individuals and interactions over processes and tools. The Agile Manifesto opens with a strong statement of the importance of people in the world of Agile. As Agile is adopted across an enterprise – it can be easy for the human element to get lost in the processes and tools of the enterprise. Join us for this fast-paced session where we'll talk about the evolution of business leadership and how empathy – at scale – keeps the focus on people.
Can your organization afford to waste time, money and brain cells today?
It's been decades since Taiichi Ohno of Toyota Production Systems identified 7 wastes in Lean Manufacturing. Let's fast forward to the 21st century to explore a new spin on 7 wastes in the modern enterprise. These modern sources of enterprise waste sap the energy and resources of our organizations - making any business agility initiative longer, riskier, and more costly. Let's identify and eradicate these systemic enterprise wastes now.
This is Your Brain. This is Your Brain on Agile Games. The Neurology of Effective Learning.
The Agile Apocalypse has already happened. Agile workshops from Boston to Bangalore have been overrun by Agile Zombies whose brains exploded from too much Powerpoint.
Fortunately, there is a ray of hope. A small band of Agilists have discovered a more humane way to teach. Games, simulations, and interactive exercises revive the brains of Powerpoint Zombies - leading to better learning that sticks.
Join us in this session to discover the "neurological why" behind effective agile games and "how" to use it to design even more effective games & workshops. Leave with new ideas and strategies to put into action with your next group.
This workshop is based on Bernice McCarthy's 4Mat System of Learning, Dr. Judy Willis' book "Research-Based Strategies to Ignite Student Learning", Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) from the Association for Integrative Psychology, and Sharon Bowman's work on "Training from the Back of the Room."
Is Improv just a fun diversion to wake the team up and get the blood flowing? Or could it be something more?
Applied Improvisation can energize a group, spark creativity, and facilitate communication. And perhaps there's an even deeper value to be found in the world of Improv. This active workshop explores Applied Improv in the context of the Agile Manifesto – putting our Agile values in action.
Based on the matchmaking game "Hot or Not" - the game "Scrum or Not" is designed to conclude an introductory scrum training workshop. It gives the group an opportunity to test their knowledge in a fast-paced game where everything is not scrum, but it certainly sounds like it could be. In addition - the team members get an opportunity to share how "hot" they are to apply each agile concept to their "real world" projects. This same game structure could be applied to other training topics - limited only by the evil creativity of the facilitator to create humorous, "almost by not quite" game cards.

Click-A-Brick Invites Fans To Win Building Blocks With Toy Chest Giveaway
by Rob Swystun | Posted in Building Block Toy, Building Blocks, Building Sets, Educational Building Toys and Learning Toys | July 10, 2015
Building block toy company Click-A-Brick has launched the Toy Chest Giveaway via Facebook. Entrants get a chance to win a prize pack that includes all four of Click-A-Brick's currently available sets: Animal Kingdom Safari, Army Defenders and the just-launched Feather Friends and Mighty Machines.
To enter the giveaway, participants can visit the Click-A-Brick Toy Chest Giveaway page, fill out the entry form and submit their information. Each participant is only allowed one entry, but will receive an additional 10 entries for each friend they refer. If someone that a person has referred wins, the referrer will receive a free 30-piece set, meaning even if a person isn't chosen, they can still win if one of their referees is chosen.
The contest runs until midnight Pacific Time on July 19, at which time five winners will be chosen at random. Winners will be notified by email and announced July 21.
Each of the five winners will receive:
One 30-piece Animal Kingdom Safari set
One 30-piece Feather Friends set
One 100-piece Army Defenders set
One 100-piece Mighty Machines set
Participants do not need to purchase anything to enter the contest. It is open to anyone who is 18 or older who is a legal resident anywhere in the United States except for Rhode Island and Washington, DC.
Click-A-Brick Co-Founders Jason Smith and Georg de Gorostiza say they are holding the contest to promote the building block company, which is still young, and to make some lucky kids happy.
"With the launch of our next two sets this month, we wanted to do something to raise some awareness about Click-A-Brick," Smith said. "We just released the 30-piece Feather Friends and 100-piece Mighty Machines sets and giving some lucky kids the chance to win them for free -- along with our other two sets -- seems like a pretty solid way to get people talking about Click-A-Brick and the new sets. We think giving people the extra entries for referrals will also help spread the word about us. Plus, we love bringing smiles to children, so what better way than a toy chest of Click-A-Bricks?"
Odds of winning the giveaway depend on how many entries are received and how many additional entries a person can get through referrals. People can enter alternately by mailing a standard postcard with the words "Click-A-Brick™ Toy Chest Giveaway Entry" along with their first and last name, address, city, state, zip code, email address, year and date of birth to 2657 Windmill Parkway #189; Henderson, NV; 89074; Attn: Click-A-Brick Toys.
The Click-A-Brick team say they might consider holding more giveaways in the future, depending on how well this one turns out. With tentative plans to release more sets this summer, the businessmen say, more giveaways seem likely.

What people are saying about us..
This was our first Click-A-Brick purchase and my daughter and I are really impressed! My daughter has not set them down since they've arrived (she's currently holding onto them while napping on the couch). She just had an appendectomy and this was the only toy she wanted at the hospital. This toy really encourages a child's imagination!
The Click-A-Brick set that purchased was the Feather Friends 30pc Educational Block Set! First, we checked to make sure all 30 pieces were present {and they were}, then we followed the directions to build one of the birds {the parrot}, it turned out pretty well. Since then my daughter has made all different kinds of birds, people, beds, bridges, etc. out of the blocks! Each time she comes up, so excited, to show everyone what she has created.
We looked it up and it seems as if there are 6 other sets being sold by Click-A-Brick on Amazon, my daughter would love them all and I will be purchasing at least a few for her for Christmas! Really thrilled with Click-A-Brick as a whole and especially the Feather Friends set!
- Sarah Leatherman
I love the Click-A-Brick concept. They lock together very securely, which makes them great for tiny hands, and they are surprisingly versatile. They're square rather than rectangular like most building sets, which allows for more "graph paper" like designs.
Even my three-year-old found them easy to use and entertaining. We weren't very successful on the bird situation, but she continues to try, with the help of the included directions. She made better towers, and was very proud of the end result. Why mention that? Because these inspire that creativity, where when she used other building sets, she would get frustrated because they fell apart and just quit.
My six-year-old son is a huge fan as well, and his only complaint was that he needed more blocks to finish his creation, which is an easy fix.
- Stephanie Kelsey
This Click-A-Brick Army Defenders educational building block set is wonderful! I have a five year old little boy and this has been the biggest hit. He has always been a fan of Lego's and he thought this was so much fun.
As a parent I really appreciate that Click-A-Bricks are very easy to build and my 5 year old doesn't need much help. The pieces are very easy to put together and take apart. My son was able to build on his own without any frustration which was a relief for me as a mother.
This set is so comprehensive and the possibilities are endless. My boy had so much fun just using his imagination to build. This set also comes with a step by step easy to follow guide for building everything shown in the listing photos.
The bricks are very high quality and fit together perfectly. They are very solid. My boy has been having a blast with them. He can't wait for the next set.
- Bella Forte
The kids had a BLAST with this set! I have 6 children and it was a hit with all of them! Once I opened the box, it was like a swarm of locusts – picking out pieces, looking at the manual (which shows step by step how to make everything), and clicking them together. The kiddos quickly just started using their imagination and making things on their own. The blocks snap together in a sort of 3D way, so they have to think ahead of what they are building to ensure they have the right configuration – which is great from an educational aspect.
They had some feedback about the occasional difficulty when pulling the bricks apart, and the company was able to promptly provide the answers I was looking for, and even had a solution. Great product, and great company! When asked what they liked about it the most, they said the colors and the eyeballs!

Carbon Market May Bring Financial Bubble, Bolivian Envoy Says
Andrew Herndon
The global carbon market, valued at about $124 billion in 2010, may create a new financial bubble and is a poor way to address the climate crisis, Bolivia's United Nations ambassador said.
"The possibility of a new financial bubble that will be created through this carbon market is very big," Pablo Solon, Bolivia's ambassador to the UN and the country's chief climate negotiator, said in a telephone interview.
The comments open a new argument in Bolivia's effort to keep CO2 trading off the agenda at the UN climate talks. Solon spearheaded an effort at last year's gathering in Cancun, Mexico, to exclude carbon-market mechanisms from a program designed to protect forests.
Solon's opposition to the measures fed into a rift between rich and poor nations that derailed the UN talks two years ago in Copenhagen. His concerns were overruled in December in Cancun, allowing the discussions to progress.
Speaking in the week before climate negotiators gather for UN talks in Bonn beginning June 6, Solon said carbon credits can be bought for around $15 a metric ton and then resold for $100 a metric ton or more in some cases.
"In reality it is the same ton of CO2, so there are many problems related to the carbon market that are not really under control at all," Solon said. "From our point of view, to launch and to create all this business to solve this problem through this new market mechanism is not a good solution."
$124 Billion Market
The global market for buying and selling emissions allowances was valued at more than $124 billion in 2010, according to data compiled by Bloomberg New Energy Finance.
At the talks in Cancun that finished in December, countries agreed in principle to establish national emissions limits and a climate fund to support developing nations as they cope with rising sea levels and more volatile weather. Bolivia was the only country in attendance to abstain from the agreement.
Solon said developed countries have failed to live up to their promises on emissions limits, and carbon trading has not spurred further action.
"Even with the carbon markets, the emission reductions in developed countries have not increased in a very significant way," Solon said. "We have had more problems than benefits," including a much-publicized theft of carbon allowances In Europe last year that caused trading to be halted.
New Agreement Possible
There are significant roadblocks to achieving the goals laid out at Cancun, Solon said. The culmination of talks this year come near the end of the first commitment period of the Kyoto Protocol, whose limits lapse in 2012. While Bolivia and developing nations want to extend the Kyoto pact, Russia, Canada and Japan have indicated they won't agree to that.
Under Kyoto, industrial nations were given mandatory emissions limits while developing ones including China, India and Brazil had no cap. China since then has surpassed the U.S. as the world's biggest polluter. Delegates meet again at the end of this year in Durban, South Africa.
"To be realistic and pragmatic, the only thing that is possible for Durban is to have a second commitment period of the Kyoto Protocol, even if not all parties agree on that," Solon said. "It's better to have an agreement with many parties than to keep waiting with nothing on your hands until everybody is on board."
Treaty 'Not Doable'
The U.S. never signed up to Kyoto and is pressing for a new treaty that would curb emissions for both rich and poor nations. In April, as envoys were meeting in Bangkok, Todd Stern, who leads the U.S. delegation, said a binding global treaty was "not doable."
Solon said a commitment for cuts from the U.S. would make developing nations more willing to limit their own emissions.
"Many other developed countries will follow that step and increase also their ambitions," Solon said. "Because the U.S. doesn't do that and it is very very short in ambition, the whole negotiation is in some way kidnapped by this pessimistic position from the U.S."
Solon said the fate of the talks ultimately lies in the hands of ordinary voters in the U.S., Japan and other industrial countries.
"If civil society in Japan, in the U.S., and other developed countries doesn't get involved in some way by putting pressure, then probably the negotiations won't move or even go backward," Solon said. "If there is instead pressure, I think we can have some movement."

This article provides an example of automation of banking processes (customer service) with a BPM system. In this example, a BPM system implementation project is a part of a larger project of converting the operation of the bank offices.
Before the implementation of ELMA BPM, the employees of the bank offices interacted directly with various banking systems and systems for issuing plastic cards. Such an organization required each employee to be able to work in several systems and know the accounts and procedures used in the offices.
After the implementation of ELMA BPM, the work of the bank operators gradually shifted from direct interaction with banking systems to using automated business processes in ELMA, integrated with the banking systems. A major amount of information, necessary to use banking systems and perform operations with accounts correctly, was realized as objects in ELMA.
The integration between the system was realized in the most convenient form, via web services. For some additional logic and checks, a transitional SOAP server is used; the systems exchange data via this server.
Since most of the web service methods are used many times and in many processes, it was decided to put their invocation and parser to custom activities, also known as plugins (standard ELMA feature).
A separate plugin with a set of input/output parameters and a logic for preparing and parsing the response was created for each method used in the process logic.
Prepare input variables for the method.
If necessary, generate a UID.
Call the service method via Helper.
Parse the response into output variables.
For dates, integers, fractions and money, values are checked for null and converted into a string of the format, discussed with the developers of the service/method. For example, some methods detect dates in the format dd/MM/yyyy, while the standard format for the system localization is dd.MM.yyyy.
string p_charge= parameters.Charge.HasValue ? parameters.Charge.Value.ToString("F2").Replace(',','.') : "0"
An external system may support MsgId. This is a string input variable of each method, used to identify whether a message is new for the external system or a duplicate.
MsgId is generated on the ELMA side, using the static method WSHelper.GetMsgId(parameters.GetExecutionContext()). The input variable parameters GetExecutionContext() is present only in the plugins and contains the information about the process instance and a specific process element on the process map.
values of the input variables.
Using these data, the hash for generating a unique MsgId of a strictly defined length is calculated.
1. Initialize the connection to the service (the WSDL reference should be added in the plugin).
2. Get an instance of the WSConnectionSettings object with the IsActive box, and apply the URL specified in it as the method endpointURL.
>This approach allows writing plugins once and later switch between the test and production SOAP from the web interface, by changing the IsActive property.
If the object does not have an instance with the IsActive box, the service is not called and Helper returns an error.
3. If the service is executed successfully, the XML response structure is checked.
4. In case of an exception on the channel level (Exception, TimeOutException, SOAPException) and the UseAutotry box in the active connection in the WSConnectionSettings object, Helper automatically checks the method call up to three times.
To avoid duplicating automatic method calls in case of temporary loss of connection between the SOAP and the external system, use the fully implemented logic of processing unique MsgIds.
It should be noted that a transaction log entry is added in a separate stream and does not slow down the response in the process.
For this reason, it is difficult to directly write a link to a process and the exact time of receiving a response. Instead, the instance UID is used and all the additional information is loaded on the form.
Despite the fact that all the methods return a response in the XML format, Helper supports calling a method with any returned type. For obvious reasons, in this case, overhead information will not be received, but the response will return to the plugin correctly and an entry will be added to the log.
List of fields with values.
List of objects you need to write to the objects.
List of objects you need to write to a block in the process context.
Let's take a look at each of them.
List of fields with values is the simplest option, since the obtained values are parsed into output variables in the plugin code.
2. List of objects you need to write to an is a specific solution for saving data. For example, after receiving a list of accounts from the service, they are written to the Account object with a link to the process instance, for which the search was performed. Next, the list of accounts is displayed with the WorkflowInstance.Id filter on the task form in this process instance in the context variable and/or in the list of linked objects (standard form builder element, described here).
3. The list of objects you need to write to a block in the process context is passed to the plugin output in the XML format, and then a script in the process parses it into the block rows.
You cannot create rows in a process context block in a plugin. For this reason, the code was moved to a script activity.

Q: Свойство AutoSizeMode для TabControl В ячейке TableLayoutControl содержится TabControl. В TabControl содержатся страницы со следующими свойствами:
this.AutoSize = true;
this.AutoSizeMode = AutoSizeMode.GrowAndShrink;

В странице присутствует один корневой экземпляр TableLayoutPanel. Который содержит другие компоненты и обладает свойствами:
this.Dock = DockStyle.Fill;
this.AutoSize = true;
this.AutoSizeMode = AutoSizeMode.GrowAndShrink;

Алгоритм масштабирования строк TableLayoutPanel:
this.RowStyles.Clear();
for (int i = 0; i < this.RowCount - 1; i++)
{
    RowStyle rs = new RowStyle(SizeType.AutoSize);
    this.RowStyles.Add(rs);
}
this.RowStyles.Add(new RowStyle(SizeType.Percent, 100));

Свойства компонента содержащемся в строке таблицы:
this.Dock = DockStyle.Fill;

Вопрос: После добавления страниц TabPage в TabControl, хочу уменьшить высоту TabControl до максимальной по высоте страницы содержащейся в нем, а ширину растянуть до максимальной возможной ширины родительского компонента.
Как я могу это сделать? Свойство AutoSizeMode отсутствует для компонента TabControl и он не уменьшается автоматически в зависимости от его содержимого.

A: В документации ясно написано что свойства AutoSize и AutoSizeMode бессмысленны для компонентов TabControl и TabPage. Исходя из этого добиться авторегулирования высоты пользуясь только компонентами TabControl и TabPage нельзя.
Однако есть способ добиться этого авторегулирования вручную следующим способом:
1) Положить во все TabPage компонент Panel который будет новым контейнером компонентов страницы у которого выставить свойство Autosize = true;.
2) Затем в конце формирования компонента TabControl пробежать по всем страницам и получить размер каждого компонента Panel.
3) Применить максимальный размер найденный с помощью пробега на предыдущем шаге.

Nearly 200 youth, plus guardians, participated in a day filled with outdoor activities at the Union Sportsmen's Alliance's (USA) Get Youth Outdoors Day at Martin Luther King, Jr. Park Pond in Pine Bluff, Arkansas, on October 21.
The USA's Get Youth Outdoors Day engaged both youth and adults in hands-on activities including learning how to fish and shooting archery and air guns. Volunteers from USA, Arkansas Game and Fish Commission and Arkansas AFL-CIO provided fishing instruction and conservation education. Participants also enjoyed lunch provided by Arkansas AFL-CIO, and youth received free fishing gear courtesy of Pure Fishing.
According to a recent survey conducted by U.S. Fish and Wildlife, released in September, the U.S. has experienced a net loss of 2 million hunters in just the last five years. Since 1980, hunter numbers have fallen from nearly 18 million to the current estimate of 11.5 million. Youth are growing more and more disconnected from the outdoors, America is losing wildlife habitat at an alarming rate, and access to quality outdoor experiences are becoming more difficult to find. Reconnecting youth with the outdoors is critical to preserving our heritage.

Michigan Game Law Temporarily Blocked
The Entertainment Software Association heralded a small victory in court today, as US District Court judge George C. Steeh granted the ESA's request to prevent a Michigan law banning the sale of "ultraviolent" games to minors from taking effect.
The law, which was signed by Democratic Michigan Governor Jennifer M. Granholm in September, would impose fines of up to $5,000 on anyone caught selling or giving violent games to minors. Repeat violators would be subject to up to 93 days of jail time and $40,000 fines per violation.
Although he only issued a preliminary injunction to block the law, and the court battle to decide the law's fate is yet to come, Steeh's explanation of his judgment can only be seen as encouraging to the ESA's case. Steeh said the law would be problematic in practice and was "unlikely to survive strict scrutiny."
In granting the motion, Steeh listed four criteria that have to be considered when ruling on an injunction: whether the party asking for it is likely to prevail on the merits of its case; whether that party would suffer an irreparable injury if the court does not grant a preliminary injunction; whether a preliminary injunction would cause substantial harm to others; and whether a preliminary injunction would be in the public interest.
In his analysis, Steeh went down the list, siding with the ESA on each point. He deferred to the Sixth Circuit Court's ruling that games were protected as free speech under the First Amendment. That was the court's finding when it threw out a lawsuit brought against game manufacturers after a 1997 school shooting in Paducah, Kentucky.
Next he brushed aside the state's scientific research on the subject, stating, "A cursory review of the research relied upon by the state shows that it is unlikely that the State can demonstrate a compelling interest in preventing a perceived 'harm.'" The more apparent harm to Steeh was the irreparable injury associated with losing First Amendment freedoms, even for the limited period of time from the time the law takes effect, to the time a judgment is handed down on the case.
Steeh also saw problems in enforcement of the law, as retailers could not be expected to know what is and isn't covered by the state's definition of ultraviolence. "Without wholesale, indiscriminate refusals to sell video games to minors by store operators it appears impossible to protect sellers from prosecution," he wrote.
ESA president Douglas Lowenstein issued a statement after the judgment, heralding the ruling and asking Granholm to stop her opposition to the lawsuit.
"Rather than continuing to play politics and pursuing this case to its inevitable defeat, further wasting Michigan taxpayers' dollars along the way, we hope the state will start to join us in a common effort to take steps that actually help parents raise their kids in a healthy and safe way," Lowenstein said.
Currently the ESA is involved in lawsuits to overturn game restriction laws in Illinois, California, and Michigan.

The Dust Factory is a 2004 film directed and written by Eric Small.

Plot
Ryan Flynn (Ryan Kelley) is a young boy who, traumatized by the death of his father, has not spoken aloud or exercised his imagination since. While on a walk with a friend, Ryan falls from a bridge and apparently drowns. He finds himself in a parallel universe called the Dust Factory, which houses all humans who are on the verge of death, but have yet to die. The Dust Factory's topography is immense, encompassing lakes, forests, mountains, and a wide field covered by dry grass. In the center of the Dust Factory is a circus pavilion whose Ringmaster is a figure of some authority and dread. Each person dwelling in the Dust Factory must enter the circus pavilion and make a leap (a literal leap of faith) across the arena into the arms of a trapeze artist to proceed into death or return to life. The latter decision occurs when a participant falls into the arena during the leap, leaving behind a pile of dust which marks the passage, gives the realm its name, and when disturbed allows the one doing so to enter a hidden chamber where they play a game of the individual's choosing against the Ringmaster. In the Factory, Ryan regains his voice and is reunited with his grandfather (Armin Mueller-Stahl), whose Alzheimer's disease has (in his real life) prevented him from communicating with his family. The grandfather, who is apparently knowledgeable about the inner workings of the Dust Factory, advises and tells him stories. The stories he tells, which outwardly appear to convey no obvious meaning, contain hidden parables that Ryan must solve. The theme of belief and hope versus cynicism or despair surfaces in relation to one of these.

Throughout the main body of the plot, Ryan spends a single endless day exploring the Dust Factory under weather conditions that are always favorable to wandering through the environments and marveling at natural beauty. He is guided by his grandfather and accompanied by a girl of his own age called Melanie Lewis (Hayden Panettiere), who has been in the Dust Factory for years, lacks any memory of her previous life, and lives under the illusion that the climate is of perpetual winter, despite the appearance to Ryan and the viewer of interminable summer. Melanie and Ryan, under the eye of Ryan's grandfather, become intimate friends. Their time is passed in an emotional atmosphere of joy and discovery, mitigated only by the influence of the mysterious Ringmaster, who interferes several times with their activity, and by Melanie's conflict with Ryan's grandfather, who wishes Ryan to make the leap across the arena and thereby contradicts Melanie's desire that all things remain as they are forever. Matters gradually reach a climax, after which Ryan's grandfather makes the leap and dies. Subsequently, against Melanie's wishes (who does not want to be left alone in the Dust Factory), Ryan makes the leap himself, but falls into the pile of dust and is sent back to life. Melanie then defies her own delusion of continual winter and makes the decision to determine her own fate.

Having returned to life, Ryan resurfaces from beneath the water and is rescued by his friend. Although he no longer has any conscious memory of the Dust Factory, it seems to be present in his subconscious, as implied by the facts that he has regained his voice, and a general feeling of joy in life. He subsequently encounters Melanie, who in real life has recovered from a cerebral aneurysm. Although neither Ryan or Melanie has any conscious memory of the other, they appear to subconsciously recognize each other.

I am on a mission to investigate the how to and who to regarding a BCU app.
If we are to be the school of iPads – it only makes sense.
I've checked out of few – some are impressive.
Like Northwestern College App (NWC Alumni Crib Sheet): nice features including job search, college news, auto, etiquette, health (some of it looks purchased/canned).
For current students I like 'inside strose' (College of Saint Rose).
Something happened to the links. I will repost.
I'd love to offer a class on creating iPad apps. I have a student right now who is trying to learn how to create an Android app.
One problem: Last time I checked, iPad apps are developed on Macs only. Get some Macs for CSCI students (and faculty) and we can probably do something.
Tom you can use the IMC for class. We can work on scheduling a time. Having the class in there may help your argument for a Mac on your desk!
Let's just ASK for Macs for the CS Department!
I wonder if it might be better for our students to learn how to make web apps instead of specific platform apps. Coding with HTML5 and CSS3 can be done on any computer, can be very interactive, and can then be used on any platform by the end users. I think having experience with HTML5 and CSS3 might get the students farther than just Apple iOS, too.
iPad disappointment: No Flash. I think Sara mentioned a work-around. A lot of web sites that I visit use Flash, regardless of what Steve Jobs thinks about it.
Best justification I can think of for the iPads so far: letting students buy e-books.
Most useful "app" I've found so far: Diigo tool bar for Safari.
What I'd really like to see: OneNote for iPad.
I have run flash websites two different ways on the iPad. The first was with an app called jump. It allows you to control your desktop computer remotely. It's been mentioned in the blog already. It runs very nicely. Tonight I left my laptop in my office and I just played a little flash game through my iPad while sitting in my living room. I also have it setup to connect to my home computer as well.
The second way I've used flash is with the swifter app. It's free at first but it will want you to spend $2.99 at some point to keep using it. I haven't purchased the full version but it worked well.
There is also a browser called"skyfire" $5.00, that I haven't tried yet but is suppose to run flash.
That second app is actually iswifter, not swifter. Spell checker got me.
Why won't creating our own apps happen?


i was considering making one, but i wanted to know if anyone else knew of anything like it first.
im not sure i know of any such space, but i havent really looked. i would be hesitant to organise anything of importance to me online, given how little i know or understand about internet privacy, especially anything that could be categorised as an 'attack'. i feel like personally i would be more drawn to ftf organising with actual anarchists that i know /and/ trust.
i agree with shin, doing any such thing online is high risk at best. there is no such thing as internet - or phone - privacy, that has been proven time and again. burying such a site in the "dark web" or an onion domain may make it more difficult for the state and other adversarial actors - though nowhere near impossible - but it also limits your potential "allies" to those who can be informed about it... how? how do you inform people you don't know, without also informing those you don't want to know? (there are approaches that have been tried, but the only ones i know of that sometimes work require offline coordination anyways - book cyphers, etc).
@Ari its also probably important to keep in mind that a direct comparison between anarchist and the far right is less than ideal because the response from authorities towards the far right is almost always way more lenient than it would be towards anarchist/leftwing/radical -whatever- groups.
it would seem that the far right is able to get away with much more than anyone else, precisely because they do not challenge the fundamental powerstructures of the policing authorities.
indeed, shin. the far right is not, in fact, anti-state. much less anti-capitalist. any real comparison is pointless imo.


The Arizona Daily Star is based here in Tucson. The Border Patrol agent was murdered just south of here, the operation was run out of Phoenix to the north, the US Attorney for the state resigned, one of the whistleblower agents lives right here in town ... and the Star has barely covered the story. But today it got on the front page ... sort of. "Bush-era Operation Let Guns 'Walk,' Too, Federal Officials Say."
The story amounts to a statement by an unnamed Justice Department person that during an undercover operation, straw men were allowed to receive guns. OK, that's in the nature of an undercover operation. Nowhere in the story is it claimed that the straw men were allowed to ship the guns into Mexico, which is the key point.
Oh, well, at least the Star is being reasonable.
Tucson has a very liberal newspaper that I refused to allow it to be used for my Blue and Gold Macaw parrot's cage bottom. For 4 years as a student of the U of A I was happy reading other newspapers at the U's library.
