Annotating the News: Proposition 13, Imprisoned Youth, Election Politics
By Charles Taylor Kerchner on April 25, 2014 3:22 AM | No comments
Rattling the Proposition 13 Cage
In 2013, Gov. Jerry Brown and the Democrats in the state legislature triggered dramatic reform in the way districts and schools will spend education dollars. But the income side of the state's education budgeting remains trapped in the 1970s. More than half of all state revenues spent on schools come from income taxes, and these vary sharply in boom and bust economic times. Schools have to compete for those revenues with all other activities paid for out of the state's annual general fund budget. Property taxes were sharply limited by the 1978 Proposition 13 to 1% of a property's purchase price with only a 2% increase in that valuation allowed annually. As a result property taxes only account for 23% of state revenues spent on schools. Put it all together, and California consistently ranks in the bottom five states nationally in money spent per pupil on K-12 education adjusted for regional cost differences.
One proposal for changing that is called "the split roll": leaving the Prop 13 limits in place for residential properties, but letting school districts and other local governments lift those limits for commercial properties. Proposition 13 also allows (See Jennifer Bestor's advocacy based on the inherent inequity in a property tax system that charges businesses wildly different amounts for similar properties, and which deprives schools of a reliable and stable source of income.) A recent Field Poll surprised us by showing two-thirds majorities supporting the split roll. It's likely that majority would shrink in the face of opposition during an initiative campaign, but that poll might embolden supporters of increased education funding.
Substandard Education for Imprisoned Youth
In the United States, more than 70,000 school-aged youths live in prison. More than 10,000 of those live in California. A recent report by the Southern Education Fund shows that they're are not getting much of an education: "This report examines federal data on youth in custody and provides powerful evidence that students in the juvenile justice system are getting a substandard education at a time when they need a good education the most. In fact, the juvenile justice systems may be doing more harm than simply failing to provide effective education. They contribute to alarming recidivism rates in which young people in trouble can't put their lives back on track. Students are placed in the juvenile justice system most often for minor offenses and then continue to lose ground; only a small proportion of the students for which there is data complete as much as a single course."
However, there is evidence that Los Angeles County may have turned a corner following a 2010 lawsuit. As Teresa Watanabe reports, the Los Angeles County Office of Education, which is in charge of educating juveniles in detention facilities, has expanded its efforts, including an award winning "Road to Success" project-based learning program.
And the number of incarcerated youth has declined 46% since 2006 in L.A. County. Locking up minor offenders has proven ineffective, and at $10,000 a month, costly.
Education Politics Heating Up In An Election Year
As the deep economic crisis subsides in California, unemployment inches down, and budget surpluses replace deficits, education policy is getting more attention from California politicians. As we noted above, in 2013 Gov. Brown led the enactment of major school finance reform, and he counts that accomplishment as a major part of his case for reelection this fall.
But Democrats in the state legislature are not standing pat. For example, with the support of the California Teachers Association, Assemblyman Ed Chau (D-Monterey Park) has introduced legislation that would give school districts more say over who sits on the governing boards of local charter schools. No surprise: charter school advocates are resisting.
And the best funded Republican candidate for governor, Neel Kashkari, has begun to spell out his proposals for K-12 reform, which push for more charters and more local control, as well as an increased focus on vocational education and job training.

Side by Side Collective – Side X Side Co.
Side by Side Collective is a community of women, agender, and non-binary designers in Toronto. We offer formal programming, meetups, and resources for women in the design and technology space. Our focus is a mentorship program that pairs more experienced designers with those new to the industry or looking to grow their careers. We provide mentorship pairs with structured programming, goal setting, and community events to help support them in their career growth and development.
Our mentors have at least 6-7 years of industry experience in design, research, or a related field. We have a rigorous interview process that helps us select who our mentors are, as well as mentor training that includes unconscious bias awareness, feedback training, communication training, and general mentorship know-how and advice. By the time our mentors come to you, they will be ready (and excited)!
We are looking for passionate female designers who are working in the industry in Toronto. We won't be specific about your level because mentorship is useful at all points during a career. We just care that you're a passionate human and have an interest in your own growth. If you have more questions about our selection criteria, please don't hesitate to reach out.
Hear what our mentees and mentors have to say about their experience with Side by Side Collective last year.
"It's going to sound corny, but going through the Side x Side Mentorship program was life-changing. I was paired with an amazing mentor who guided me through one of the most transformative career changes I've ever done. A lot of my professional growth and success in 2018 can be attributed to this program. As someone who had an idea of where I wanted to go, but no clue on how to get there, having my mentor - and the rest of the SxS community - by my side helped me become a more confident professional and thoughtful designer."
"Personally, being involved in the program [as a mentor] was very beneficial for two main reasons: I felt connected to my work/field [while on mat leave] and I was able to meet a very intelligent and interesting younger woman whose feelings I identified with and remembered from my own starting out point into UX research. I was able to help her achieve her goal (she got a new job!)."
"Side x Side opened my eyes to a whole community of supportive and empowering women I didn't know existed in the industry. Annie (my mentor) taught me I could be successful without conforming to negative industry standards projected upon women. She gave me the confidence to stand my ground while being kind and supportive to those around me."
"I joined the program at the perfect time. I was transitioning out of a full time role back into building a new consulting business. Alisha (my mentor) became a friend and ally throughout this time of uncertainty. Becoming a part of this community and knowing that support is never far helped keep me motivated, learn to trust myself and make decisions more effectively."
"I was lucky enough to support an amazing mentee through the process of following her dream to work in another country. It was incredibly rewarding to see her apply the things we talked through together and ultimately succeed at her goal. It was also helpful for me to think through what I learned from my own experiences, because now it will be easier for me to support others in the future."
"I honestly couldn't have asked for a better mentor. She made me see what I had accomplished in my career and taught me to appreciate and value myself and my experience. She gave me the creative confidence I needed to pursue my goals. I'm truly grateful for my mentor and for Side x Side Co."
"Side x Side was such a refreshing experience to be a part of. I really appreciated being able to speak with another woman in a similar field, sharing our stories and experiences. My mentor was extremely generous with her time and advice, regularly meeting with me and helping put actions in place (in both the workplace and personal life), focusing on my skills and goals."
Our team is small but mighty! We're working hard behind the scenes to manage our mentor program and develop our community. If you're interested in getting involved, reach out to us - we're always looking for new ways to give back to the design community in Toronto.
Alisha started Side x Side Co. after years of working in an industry with noticeably few women in senior leadership. She's a Sr designer at Shopify and an instructor and curriculum developer at York University. She makes a lot of playlists, lifts heavy things, and thoroughly enjoys the outdoors.
Polly is a Sr. Designer at Rangle.io. PPolly wants to continue spreading the word about Side by Side, lifting up and supporting other amazing women in the design community. When she's not working, she enjoys spending time with friends, cycling around the city, and trying new things.

The Possible Consequences of American Withdrawal from Syria
Catherine Shakdam December 28, 2018
A US withdrawal will mean that lucrative Syrian territories, about one-third of the whole of Syria, will be earmarked for a takeover.
If US President Donald Trump has been the subject of much contention since he became president, his decisions have seldom left the world more speechless, or dare I say it, more dumbfounded than his recent order to withdraw all American troops from Syria.
Out of what seems to be nowhere, especially when we consider that only a few weeks ago senior US officials like John Bolton, Trump's national security advisor, affirmed how committed the US was to a long-term presence in Syria, the president announced to the world that American troops would come home now that ISIS was defeated.
In typical Trump style, the news broke on Twitter before it could reach the mainstream media.
True to his political rationale, which rationale has often run contrary to the advice of his own administration and military brass, Trump deemed fit to recall the troops and essentially end America's military intervention in Syria. However one chooses to look at it, such a turnaround will have far-reaching repercussions for both the region and the United States.
But what does it mean? What does such military contraction entail for the United States?
Interestingly enough, or rather more telling of the times we live in, Trump has received more criticism for his recall of troops than many presidents had to weather for opening new military fronts.
As Trevor Timm noted in an opinion piece for the Guardian in reference to the furor Trump's decision started in Congress: "Maybe if Congress has not used the last decade to totally abdicate its constitutional responsibility to debate and approve of wars the US is involved in, and if they were actually up front to the American people about the extreme costs of fighting yet another war, they would have a leg to stand on. But their stance seems to now be: We only get upset when troops get to come home without our approval, not when they are deployed in yet another war zone."
Rather than debate the how and why behind Mr Trump's decision, let's not fool ourselves into believing that sense or reason sits in the Oval Office. I personally believe we should concentrate on the what now? Again, for better or for worse America remains a titan of geopolitics and the flutter of a wing in Washington is likely to be felt in the farthest regions of the world. By this token, it is evident that a disengagement in Syria will transform the immediate region's political dynamics and potentially consolidate emerging geopolitical trends, namely the rise of Turkey and Iran as power-brokers and players in the region.
Whether one agrees or not with President Trump's decision, whether or not he may or may not have acted in the best interests of both the US and Syria (in that American boots will no longer trample on Syria's sovereignty) really is of little consequence in this Great Game of politics we are seeing play out on our screens. Rather it's what will manifest in terms of conflict resolution or what experts warn would be the great unraveling of the Middle East.
If the Kurds, America's allies in the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) appear to be the main losers (with one tweet President Trump reneged on years-long promises of support for the Kurdish cause against Turkey), it is actually Saudi Arabia who just lost yet another jewel to its crown at least as far as regional control goes.
Of course, many experts are deploring such military disengagement in the name of political loyalties and continuity. In comments to the Telegraph, Charles Lister, a senior fellow at the Middle East Institute, noted: "It's a sad state of affairs when our key allies on the ground, who've shed blood and thousands of lives for our fight against Isil [ISIS], are to be well and truly abandoned."
But as I said, the Kurds here are but a secondary casualty of Washington's realpolitik, Riyadh is the one partner that stands to lose the most, most likely to the region's overall benefit, but then again, it could prompt Riyadh to act rashly in the Syrian war proper.
As of right now, the US through its Kurdish allies controls Syria's most lucrative territories, major oil and gas fields, agricultural land, main water resources and such. A US withdrawal will mean that those territories, about one-third of the whole of Syria will be earmarked for a takeover. While international law would dictate that the Syrian government will resume control, several regional powers would rather see those areas fall to their authority, namely Turkey and Saudi Arabia via its proxies, those radicals the mainstream has often painted as moderates.
It is likely now that Damascus will rely on both Russia and Iran to reclaim its lost sovereignty and thus use the return of its national wealth to establish long-term commercial ties with both Moscow and Tehran. This, of course, will dramatically shrink America's footprint in the region while further anchoring that of the region's new superpowers, Russia and Iran.
Turkey is a more complicated beast because there's the fear of further regional fragmentation, this time along ethnic lines. That said, it is likely Ankara will strike a deal with Russia and Iran in order to consolidate its stand against Saudi Arabia as the main leader of the Islamic world, a title Turkey has long wanted to reclaim since the fall of its Ottoman Empire in WWI.
It leaves us with the tempestuous child of the Middle East: Saudi Arabia. If the kingdom's political reach has shrunk dramatically this year as many chickens have, in fact, come home to roost, the result of deplorable policies and a tendency to rely on threats to stifle criticism, Riyadh could still explode the region by reverting to its terror modus operandi, the deployment of mercenary radicals to sow unrest and play up sectarian sentiments.
By leaving, right or wrong, Donald Trump created a vacuum that will need filling by what and, more importantly, by whom will determine whether or not 2019 will see a reprieve in the violence in the region.
2019 promises, to say the least, to be dramatic and eventful!

The Possible Consequences of American Withdrawal from Syria

Q: Having trouble adding jquery to charisma I am trying to add some jquery to this Charisma admin panel and have been having nothing but trouble. I am trying to add it to the charisma.js file. This is what I am adding
// add multiple select / deselect functionality
    $("#selectall").click(function () {
          $('.checkbox').attr('checked', this.checked);
    });

    // if all checkbox are selected, check the selectall checkbox
    // and viceversa
    $(".checkbox").click(function(){

        if($(".checkbox").length == $(".checkbox:checked").length) {
            $("#selectall").attr("checked", "checked");
        } else {
            $("#selectall").removeAttr("checked");
        }

    });

I have tried this code wrapped in the anonymous $(function(){ as well as without, and I have inserted it into both $(document).ready(function(){ and docReady() as well as in the head of my code but I am not really "trained" on jquery so I am a bit lost as to what I am doing wrong. My class and div tags are correct for the code, as I have checked them several times for misspellings. I am not sure what I am doing wrong. Is there a better "check" all code I can use here, or am I just putting this all in the wrong place?
UPDATE: I think the actual code may be working, I cannot tell, after I click the select all box it seems that I have to click the other boxes 3 times to get the check mark back into the box, so it seems like it is having trouble actually showing that the box is marked. This may be a problem with styling, but I don't know how to correct it.

A: I meet the same problem as you do. My solution is like this:
find the line "
$("input:checkbox,input:radio, input:file").not('[data-no-uniform="true"],#uniform-is-ajax').uniform();"

then,remove the input:checkbox, then the checkbox in your project will not display in the charisma way.Now you can use $(this).prop("checked","checked"); to make the checkbox change.

Though Diana was able to admit honestly that she did love Hades, she escaped her bonds anyway, explaining that she could still love him and refuse his proposal. Angrily, Hades sent all of the forces of Hell to kill her, but she and her friends were rescued by Strife. Confronted by her fiancé again, Diana explained that she had not lied. Wonder Woman has the capacity to love everyone - a concept that could never be understood by one incapable of love, such as he. The realization that he was loved unconditionally disgusted Hades so much that he sent them all away. Before leaving, Hephaestus gifted Hades with a mirror, and shot him with Eros' pistols, allowing, at least, for Hades to love himself.[23]
As the men helped the Amazons prepare for battle against the First Born's army, Diana received news that the First Born had been attacking other gods' realms. With Eros and Artemis, Wonder Woman ambushed the Minotaur at Demeter's home. Unfortunately, the First Born had already defeated Demeter, so Wonder Woman sent her companions to safety while she confronted him by herself.[45]
Ares told Diana that he had been imprisoned by the other Gods of Olympus and bound in chains that were secured by Aphrodite through the power of her love. He also told her that years ago, Phobos and Deimos had implanted false memories of Themyscira into her mind, and these had caused her to imagine aspects of her past that had never happened in reality. Meanwhile, Phobos and Deimos entered Themyscira and battled with the Amazons. Diana knew what she had to do, and called Ares to unite her with Phobos and Deimos. He teleported them to her, and using her Lasso of Truth, Wonder Woman bound them through the power of her unconditional love for them, as Aphrodite had done to Ares. With the twin gods defeated, Diana attempted to leave Ares' prison along with Veronica and Izzy, however Izzy's essence had been attached to the realm and could not return to Earth. Izzy was forced to either live out the rest of her days in the prison or live in Themyscira as an Amazon for eternity. She chose the latter and Veronica said goodbye to her daughter. Diana was briefly reunited with her mother, for the first time since she left the island.[8]
Wonder Woman, Hermes and Zola is at a café where a guy called Lennox, who knew that Zola is pregnant with Zeus and who Wonder Woman and Hermes really is arrived there, and tells to Wonder Woman that he is Diana's brother. He tells to Diana that she has to be at the London Bridge at six, or she'd regret it. She's there at six, and Poseidon arrives, and tells Diana that he wants to be the new god of the gods, whereas Lennox goes into a cave shown to him by Hermes, and there he meets Hades who also wants to claim the throne of the Heavens. After Hera arrives, Wonder Woman tricks all of them, and Hades goes back into his cave, and tricks Zola to come to him and kidnap her, he told Diana that they struck a bargain, and when she has fulfilled her's, she shall get Zola back.
James Robinson is a British writer, best known for his work in comic books and screenplays. He is well-known for his encyclopedic knowledge of comic book continuity, especially regarding the Golden Age of comic books. His earliest comic book work came in the late 1980s, but he became best known for his revitalization of the character Starman for DC comics in the 1990s. In addition, he has written ...more
By the time that Robert Kanigher took over the character, a change away from traditional comics as a whole was accomplished. He eventually veered completely away from superheroism and essentially only told stories involving the Wonder Family, which consisted of Wonder Woman, her teenage version Wonder Girl, her baby version Wonder Tot and her mother. This eventually proved not very popular and Kanigher was forced to rethink the character and cast her in a more traditional superhero context (he actually explained this decision in comics to the reader with his various creations vying to remain in continuity against his wishes). It was at this time for instance that Wonder Woman saw the return of some characters that had been missing for some time such as the Cheetah or Doctor Psycho. It was also at this time that she became a founding member of the original Justice League of America.
Diana quickly regained her sanity and was taken out of the mental hospital's care. She immediately noted the absence of Barbara and set out to locate her. However, when she arrived at Empire Enterprises, she was greeted only by Doctor Cyber.[81] Cale set Team Poison onto Wonder Woman once again, and Colonel Poison managed to shoot Diana through the chest. Diana and Steve quickly overcame their forces and followed Veronica Cale and Cheetah to a gateway that led to Themyscira. Wonder Woman and Cheetah fought, and a drop of Diana's blood fell onto the gateway which opened the portal to Ares' prison beneath Themyscira. Phobos and Deimos, whom Cale had turned into dogs with the help of Circe, entered the portal, along with Diana and Veronica Cale. Veronica found her daughter beside Ares.[82]
Trudging on, Hades expects their presence and tries sending spirits in order to stall and attack Diana and Hermes. Successfully defeating them, they wonder through a forest and find a cabin resembling Zola's farm house. Zola pops out and happily hugs Wonder Woman. Hades at that moment makes his grand entrance and frees them. Though, just before they escape, Hades beckons Wonder Woman to look behind, and shoots her with Eros pistols. She urges Hermes and Zola to leave while she is left at the mercy of Hades who wants her to be his bride. Here, she is preparing to wed Hades when she gives Diana her lasso, saying that if he truly loves him, she will confess it due to the properties of the lasso. She says yes, but will not go on with the wedding as it is more or less forced and not real love. She escapes his clutches and shoots him as a means of payback for shooting her.
In present-day Paris, Diana receives a photographic plate from Wayne Enterprises of herself and four men taken during World War I, prompting her to recall her past. The daughter of Queen Hippolyta, Diana is raised on the hidden island of Themyscira, home to the Amazonian women warriors created by Zeus to protect mankind. Hippolyta explains the Amazonian history to Diana, including how Ares became jealous of humanity and orchestrated its destruction. When the other gods attempted to stop him, Ares killed all but Zeus, who used the last of his power to wound Ares and force his retreat. Before dying, Zeus left the Amazons the island and a weapon, the "Godkiller", to prepare them for Ares's return.
The character has appeared occasionally on live television. In 1966 a short film was made to pitch the character to television studios, but was ultimately unsuccessful. There was also an attempt at a TV movie starring Cathy Lee Crosby, but it failed to launch a TV show. The most famous television show was the 1975 Wonder Woman show starring Lynda Carter. The series was a hit and ran until 1979, becoming a pop culture sensation in the process. Today, the show is largely responsible for the public perception of the character.
Invisible Plane: Wonder Woman possesses an airplane capable of rendering itself completely invisible to the human eye. Like her bracelets, Diana's invisible plane is forged with Eighth Metal, making it almost indestructible.[115] The Invisible Plane was originally the aircraft Steve Trevor crashed onto Themyscira; it was repaired by the Amazons and upgraded with their technology.[116][117]
At the end of Infinite Crisis, Wonder Woman temporarily retires from her costumed identity. Diana, once again using the alias Diana Prince, joins the Department of Metahuman Affairs. Donna Troy becomes the new Wonder Woman and is captured by Diana's enemies. Diana then goes on a mission to rescue her sister, battling Circe and Hercules. Diana defeats the villains, freeing Donna and takes up the role of Wonder Woman again. Circe places a spell on Diana, which renders Diana into a normal, powerless human being when in the role of Diana Prince; her powers come to her only when she is in the role of Wonder Woman.[115][116][117][118][119]
Short of Marston himself, no creator has had as profound an influence on Wonder Woman as George Perez. Much as John Byrne took the reins of the Superman franchise after 1985's Crisis on Infinite Earths, Perez was tasked with reinventing Wonder Woman for a new era. But where Byrne sought to streamline and simplify Superman's world, Perez (along with co-writers Len Wein and Greg Potter) made the choice to double down on the larger-than-life elements of Wonder Woman and emphasize her ties to Greek mythology.
The princess of the Amazons, armed with superpowers of a god, Wonder Woman is one of Earth's most powerful defenders of peace, justice, and equality and a member of the Justice League. She is often considered an archetype for many non-comicbook heroines. She stands for Love and peace. Her original origin allegorically depicted her as a clay figure brought to life by the gods, but in recent years she has been depicted more literally as the daughter of Zeus and the Amazon queen Hippolyta.

The events of Crisis on Infinite Earths greatly changed and altered the history of the DC Universe. Wonder Woman's history and origin were considerably revamped by the event. Wonder Woman was now an emissary and ambassador from Themyscira (the new name for Paradise Island) to Patriarch's World, charged with the mission of bringing peace to the outside world. Various deities and concepts from Greek mythology were blended and incorporated into Wonder Woman's stories and origin. Diana was formed out of clay of the shores of Themyscira by Hippolyta, who wished for a child; the clay figure was then brought to life by the Greek deities. The Gods then blessed and granted her unique powers and abilities – beauty from Aphrodite, strength from Demeter, wisdom from Athena, speed and flight from Hermes, Eyes of the Hunter and unity with beasts from Artemis and sisterhood with fire and the ability to discern the truth from Hestia.[100] Due to the reboot, Diana's operating methods were made distinctive from Superman and Batman's with her willingness to use deadly force when she judges it necessary. In addition, her previous history and her marriage to Steve Trevor were erased. Trevor was introduced as a man much older than Diana who would later on marry Etta Candy.[101] Instead, Perez created Julia and Vanessa Kapatelis, a Greek-American scholar and her teenage daughter whom Diana would live with when she was in Man's world and would be major supporting characters in the series for years.
Director James Cameron continued this debate, through his critique of the representation of female power in Jenkins's film. In an August 2017 interview with The Guardian, Cameron qualifies Jenkins's vision of Wonder Woman as "an objectified icon" and called the film "a step backwards". In contrast, he states, his character Sarah Connor (from his Terminator films) "was not a beauty icon. She was strong, she was troubled, she was a terrible mother, and she earned the respect of the audience through pure grit."[254] Jenkins stated in response that Cameron's "inability to understand what 'Wonder Woman' is, or stands for, to women all over the world is unsurprising as, though he is a great filmmaker, he is not a woman". She further argued "there is no right and wrong kind of powerful woman" because "if women have to always be hard, tough and troubled to be strong, and we aren't free to be multidimensional or celebrate an icon of women everywhere because she is attractive and loving, then we haven't come very far have we."[255] Reaction to this debate was mixed. Julie Miller sided with Cameron, whom she states refers to himself as "a pretty hardcore feminist" and who told Vulture that "I have no problem writing a script in which the males become subservient to the females, which is what happens in Aliens ... It's up to Ripley to win the day." In contrast, Miller argues that Jenkins and Gadot envisioned Wonder Woman as "a woman who exuded both femininity and strength, along with genuine confusion as to why men would treat women differently than they do other men".[256] Susannah Breslin also agreed with Cameron, describing Jenkins's Wonder Woman as "a Playmate with a lasso" and "female power with no balls".[257] Others were more critical of Cameron's critique.[258] An article in Newsweek suggests that in contrast to his criticism of Jenkins, Cameron's own films include "lot of objectification" and quotes a few Hollywood celebrities who echoed this view. One of the quotes came from Jesse McLaren who states that "James Cameron's just confused there's a female hero whose motivations aren't centered around motherhood."[259] Noah Berlatsky found areas of agreement between both Cameron and Jenkins, stating that while Cameron's objection is "an old point that's been made over and over for decades", Jenkins's film is not "solely focused on objectifying Gal Gadot for a male audience".[260]

The Sheldon Road plant was the last plant left from Ford's takeover of 17 Visteon operations in 2005.
DETROIT -- Ford Motor Co. plans to shed the last line of business in nine-year-old Automotive Component Holdings LLC by December when ACH closes its Sheldon Road climate control plant in suburban Detroit and lays off its last 257 employees.
The subsidiary created by Ford on Oct. 1, 2005 to take over plant operations from former in-house parts supplier Visteon Corp., has been gradually shifting its heating, ventilation and cooling production work to Detroit Thermal Systems LLC. Detroit Thermal Systems is a minority-owned joint venture between V. Johnson Enterprises LLC and French supplier Valeo SA created in late 2012, and maintains a 365,000 square-foot plant in Romulus.
The ACH plant in Plymouth Township, Mich., also housed some former ACH radiator business that Ford was able to place with other suppliers some time ago, leaving only the HVAC business that was moving to Detroit Thermal Systems, said Janet O'Brien, manager of human resources for ACH. The last of that business should leave the Plymouth facility in mid-December, causing ACH to lay off the remaining employees and close the plant, she said.
The company is letting go of 166 hourly workers and 91 salaried employees, according to a notice obtained earlier this month by the state Workforce Development Agency under the federal Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act. O'Brien, who filed the notice, said Detroit Thermal Systems has so far absorbed more than 400 former ACH employees buying the HVAC business in 2012 -- but it was not immediately clear if the Romulus plant would employ the remainder working in Plymouth.
Visteon spun off from Ford in 2000, and filed Chapter 11 bankruptcy in May 2009. It emerged from bankruptcy protection in October 2010.
Ford formed ACH to assume operation of 23 former Visteon plants in offices to prevent a massive parts shortage, when Visteon was strugging to remain solvent. Since then, ACH has been tasked with selling off or redistributing those businesses.
Vinnie Johnson, CEO of The Piston Group and partner with Valeo at the Romulus plant, could not be immediately reached for comment. An executive assistant contacted by Crain's Detroit Business, an affiliate of Automotive News, confirmed that Detroit Thermal Systems has been handling that ACH legacy business in Romulus but was unfamiliar with the WARN notice.
The federal act generally requires companies with more than 100 employees notify state and local government officials 60 days before closing a plant or building or laying off that affect more than 50 employees. But a notice can often mean a business has lost a contract to another company who will assume those contract's employees, or transfer jobs elsewhere.
Dawn Booker, communications manager for Ford Motor Land Development Corp. in Dearborn, and O'Brien both confirmed that Ford Land will take possession of the Sheldon Road plant as part of the automaker's real estate subsidiary land portfolio, after the plant closing. Plans for the Plymouth facility after ACH are still in development, she said.
"There's not a fully formed plan yet. At this point, the focus is on transitioning the last of the business out of that plant and getting prepared for closing," she said.
Ford created two new minority-owned joint ventures in 2012 to assume some ACH business -- Detroit Thermal and Detroit Manufacturing Systems LLC, co-owned by Andra Rush and French supplier Faurecia SA.
Urbana, Ill.-based Flex-N-Gate Corp., owned by Pakistani-born Shahid Khan, acquired an Ohio ACH lighting and air storage plant in 2012, leaving Sheldon Road as the final piece in the ACH puzzle.

An assessment of Voluntary Travel Behaviour Change delivery in England as an alternative to highway construction
David Williams, Tim Chatterton, Graham Parkhurst, Fiona Spotswood
There is a growing body of international evidence available that shows highway construction fails to solve issues of congestion and improvements to the local economy. There is also evidence that due to changes of land use and expectations of being able to travel from the land opened for development that traffic is induced to the highway network. Alternative methods of managing travel demand; such has Voluntary Travel Behaviour Change (VTBC) initiatives have been delivered internationally. A significant VTBC scheme, called the Local Sustainable Transport Fund (LSTF), was delivered in the United Kingdom between 2011 and 2015. This paper focuses on the people who delivered these initiatives, rather than the individuals required to change their behaviour. This is to understand how transport planners' views influence the type of VTBC initiatives that were delivered. The study included a survey of 69 bid managers for LSTF projects and interviews with 17 council officers. The survey found that 80% transport planning officers understood the concept of induced traffic compared to just 10% of the wider population. It was also evident that the sample group was a homogenous group, where their views on issues such as climate change, congestion and the factors that influence how we travel were remarkably similar. The findings show that despite the evidence that highway construction does not provide a solution to travel demand, the decisions about which schemes are funded remain with non-transport experts, such as government ministers and local politicians, and this invariably leads to highway 'solutions' being chosen which limit the potential success of any VTBC initiative to create long-term change to travel behaviour.

Your snot is extremely useful for all sorts of reasons. It keeps the lining of your nose nice and moist and most importantly, your snot clears infections out of your body. When bacteria or viruses are killed off in your body, your snot helps to clear out that junk.
Let's say you blow your nose into a tissue (or on your sleeve...whoops!) and before you throw the tissue away, you take a peek at all that terrific snot you just blew out. What does it look like? What color is it? Believe it or not, these are important questions!
If your snot is clear, that means your snot is from allergies or a virus your body is fighting off.
If your snot is yellow, that means your snot could be viral or bacterial—or both.
If your snot is green, then that normally means you have a bacterial infection.
Sometimes a person has the mustardy, yellow snot. That means there's been an infection hiding way up in your nostril for years that's finally clearing its way out. This kind of snot tastes gross as you blow it out and it also smells gross!
Just ask Dr. Brad, he thinks snot is pretty cool, too.

Pucks drop on man-made ice for Buffalo pond hockey tournament
Trout Deux plays against Kettles Wings on the opening day of the Labatt Blue Buffalo Pond Hockey Tournament is underway at Buffalo RiverWorks, Feb. 20, 2015. (Derek Gee/Buffalo News)
By Staff|Published Fri, Feb 20, 2015
Despite the unseasonably frigid weather, when the pucks dropped at noon Friday for the 8th annual Labatt Blue Buffalo Pond Hockey Tournament, games were played on man-made ice.
Almost 1,000 hockey players, representing 144 teams, will compete Friday, Saturday and Sunday at Buffalo RiverWorks on Ganson Street.
The tournament switched to refrigerated rinks after past winters proved unreliable for freezing Lake Erie for natural pond hockey.
Sponsored by Labatt USA, the tournament also includes entertainment: a deejay will be on the scene, and a live performance by Strictly Hip is scheduled for 7 to 10 p.m. Saturday.
There is an indoor, heated Fan Fest area displaying hockey mural paintings by artist Dave Arrigo, an interactive sled hockey shooting experience for fans, a "snowy" pond hockey photo booth and, of course, samples of Labatt beer.
Games will be played from noon to 8:30 p.m. Friday; 10:30 a.m. to 7 p.m. Saturday; and 9 a.m. to 5:40 p.m. Sunday. Division Finals will be played from 7 to 10 p.m. Saturday and 5:40 to 7:50 p.m. Sunday.

How is this for symbolism — Mahershala Ali won his second Oscar in three years for Green Book while the finale of his series True Detective was airing on HBO.
For the first time ever, all four acting Oscar winners this year have current TV series, Bohemian Rhapsody's Rami Malek (USA's Mr. Robot), The Favourite's Olivia Colman (Netflix's The Crown), Ali (True Detective) and Regina King (HBO's upcoming Watchmen).
It is the strongest indication yet of the blurring lines between film and television and a culmination in the process of television — once considered film's far less prestigious ugly stepsister — evening the playing field.
Just a few years ago, it was almost unheard of for an Oscar winner to do a TV series. In the current golden age of television and amidst a proliferation of premium/streaming networks, that is a regular occurrence. For instance, HBO's Big Little Lies' upcoming second season features not one but three Oscar winners, Nicole Kidman, Reese Witherspoon and Meryl Streep. And Oscar winner Julia Roberts, who was chosen to present the biggest award tonight, Best Picture, is coming off a starring role in the Amazon series Homecoming.
There also has been traffic in the opposite direction, with TV actors getting to shine at the Oscars. Mom star Allison Janney earned her first Oscar nomination and first win last year for I, Tonya after 14 Emmy nominations and 7 wins. King, Malek and Colman were first-time Oscar nominees this year after strong Emmy runs. King has earned four consecutive nominations in the past four years, winning three times for American Crime and Seven Seconds, and Malek too is an Emmy winner for Mr. Robot, which is heading into its fourth and final season. Colman is a veteran TV actress, who received an Emmy nomination for The Night Manager, starred in Broadchurch and has taken on the role of Queen Elizabeth II in The Crown, which landed her predecessor Claire Foy an Emmy.
Besides strong writing, what has been drawing movie stars to TV has been the top dollar deep-pocked streaming platforms and premium networks can pay as well as the shorter TV seasons that have become the norm. That also allows TV actors to better juggle TV series and films, giving them more chances at meaty movie roles.
HBO and USA Network took to Twitter tonight to congratulate their Oscar winners.
It's happening! Congratulations, @ItsRamiMalek. We'll see you in 2019 for the final season of #MrRobot. pic.twitter.com/DWK0HaZwkJ

that make this big old world feel like a little village.
We can all use a mentor (or two) to lead the way, especially when forging a new path.
Some may call them changemaker, gamechanger, visionary, paradigm shifter, problem solver, innovator….the purpose driven souls on these next few pages are dedicated to personal and societal transformation.
They have seen the problem(s)our world currently faces and not content with the status quo, they have left the comfort of the sidelines, jumping into the fray to upend conventional thought to create a new, better way.
At LyceumLIVE, we call them MESSENGERS of Hope and Healing.
And they have arrived not a moment too soon.
It is my greatest wish that you see a bit of yourself in one of these ordinary, yet extraordinary, people.
You, too, have a brilliant light that shines inside of you; your own particularly brand of genius.
Won't you join us in creating the world we know is possible?

Enhancing Armored Vehicles Intercommunication with Rugged In-vehicle Computer
Reliable and agile intercommunication plays a crucial role in today's military missions. In other words, communications across the command network coverage, from the commander to the frontline, must be prompt and stable. Therefore, military forces are adopting gateway systems inside combat and tactical vehicles to improve communication efficiencies in the fields.
A system integrator located in Southeast Asia specializing in military electronics collaborated with Lanner to develop a robust in-vehicle communication gateway offering wireless connectivity and the right form factor to fit into the limited space of an armored vehicle. The co-developed system also meets the military-grade ruggedness to work stably in mission-critical operations. In order to optimize the intercommunications for tactical operations, the in-vehicle communication gateway shall meet the following technological requirements:
Antenna Extension
The antenna I/O of the vehicle computer must be extended to the outer side of the military vehicles in order to establish real-time wireless 4G/LTE communications in the fields.
The vehicle computer shall be equipped with mini-PCIe sockets that support mainstream RF frequencies such as LTE to communicate with other mission-critical vehicles, like police patrol cars, ambulance and fire trucks.
Military-grade Ruggedness
Rough surface and harsh environments are frequent in military operations. Therefore, the vehicle computer must meet military standard for shock, vibration and temperature requirements.
Lanner's Solution
For co-development project, Lanner introduced its V3G, the next-generation rugged fanless vehicle computer, a highly integrated solution for local armored vehicles. Lanner's V3G vehicle gateway controller works seamlessly as the intercommunication system for military and mission-critical operations.
V3G is powered by the new generation 14 nm Intel® Atom™ x7-E3950 SoC (formerly Apollo Lake). This processor consumes low volume of power and offers performance upgrade from previous generation of Atom™ processors, optimized for vehicle computing applications.
Since wireless network connectivity is one of the most critical requirements, V3G offers 2 x mini-PCIe sockets with swappable SIM slot supporting 3G/4G/LTE cellular communications. In addition, the compact system comes with built-in GPS for navigation and multiple antenna I/Os for extended receptions. As an in-vehicle computer, V3G boasts an abundance of I/O peripheral connectivity including 2 x serial COM ports, 2 x video output by DVI-D, USB and Digital I/O ports, and 2 x RJ-45 LAN ports to work with other components and subsystems in armored vehicles. For storage, V3G comes in SATA/mSATA storage options.
For military operations, V3G is compliant with E13 standard and has passed MIL-STD-810G shock and vibration resistance certifications to ensure proper operations when traveling on rough terrains. Since extreme operating temperature is often encountered in military operations, V3G is built to support wide temperature range, from -40 to 70°C.

Welcome to Whitehedge Farm At Valhalla Equestrian
Whitehedge Farm at Valhalla Equestrian
Vist Valhalla Equestrian>>>
We are thrilled to announce that effective January 2017, I along with my new partner Kathy Brooks, will be the new owners of formally Valhalla Stables in Aubrey, Texas, newly minted now as Valhalla Equestrian, LLC. Valhalla has been developed into a fixture in the local hunter jumper community for the last 15 years by Rachel Morris. The facility has been the home site for clinics with George Morris, Anne Kursinski and Bernie Trauig. We are proud to have the opportunity to continue the important work she has done to bring a safe and functional show and clinic facility to the North Texas community. Valhalla will also continue to be home to the therapeutic riding center, Born To Be, and we also have honor of hosting the Regional Special Equestrian Olympics in March.
Amenities of the 30 acre farm include a huge 250' x 150' Indoor area with new footing and screens. A 200 x 250 outdoor area, 2 full jump courses, 2 warmup arenas, 2 barns with 30 total stalls for boarders and training horses with 12x12 stalls with fly spray systems, tack rooms and indoor/outdoor wash racks. Multiple paddocks and pastures with a beautiful grove of Pecan trees border the east side of the property. 72 additional stalls available for horse show and clinic use. There are public restrooms, a concession stand and a new gravel parking area. Improvement plans for early 2017 include additional paddock space, a 70' round pen with sand footing, and continued footing improvements in all arenas.
Anne and Kathy's goal for the facility are to continue to build Valhalla into a premier equestrian facility for North Texas. We believe strongly in a classical horsemanship and equitation education for our riders and a correct and solid foundation for the development of young horses. We will be expanding our clinic and education outreach in order to meet the needs of the local horse community. We will continue with the current popular show schedule of 15-20 shows a year for both USEF rated shows, NTHJC, DHJSC and Fairfield Dressage. We will also host multiple breed association inspections, and look to develop a much needed regional young horse training center.
Anne will continue with the over 20 years of success she has had with Whitehedge Farm in the sales, development and breeding of top quality hunters and jumpers. The nationally sought after Elite Hanoverian stallion Cabalito will continue standing at stud. Anne will also now have the ability to expand her sales and training program that outgrew her former facility. With current training and sales clients hailing from Dallas, New York, San Francisco, Colorado, and Denmark, we are excited to be able to offer a larger facility in order to continue to offer exceptional care, training and sales for top show and sport horses.
Anne, along with her two children, Macy (12) and Devon (13) will be relocating to the farm in early January. Macy has competed successfully at USEF and NTHJC shows and was the 2016 winner of the NTHJC 3' Equitation Medal finals. Devon enjoys soccer, Crossfit and helping out on the farm with tractor work and mowing. We are excited to continue our family tradition of working together, and thrilled to be able to expand it more into the community. Anne will be the manager and head trainer for Valhalla Equestrian moving forward.
Kathy Brooks is joining the Valhalla Equestrian team as part owner and business manager. An exceptional leader and contributor in various businesses throughout her career, Kathy has an outstanding record in sales, sales management, marketing, project management and management consulting roles for top firms including Staples Inc, Dun & Bradstreet and Bain & Company. She currently lives in Plano and works full time as a Regional VP for TricorBraun. Kathy has one daughter, Morgan, who is currently a junior at the University of Texas at Austin pursuing a degree in Special Education. Prior to college, Morgan was a successful junior on the A level show circuit. Kathy has been an enthusiastic owner and breeder of hunters and jumpers for over 10 years and currently has 3 young horses coming up the ranks. Both Morgan and Kathy hope to relocate to Aubrey in the near future. Kathy will be handling all billing and financial aspects of the farm as well as helping out on weekends as needed.
Anne and Kathy are working closely with Rachel to ensure as seamless a transition as possible, and Rachel will also be joining us to assist in management of the May NTHJC show. We welcome any questions or inquiries about our program or facility, please contact Anne at anne5741@gmail.com or 940-594-9275. Our new address is 3555 Sauls Road Aubrey, Texas 76227.

Q: Charging a batch of credit cards I have user subscriptions in my DB, and the SUBSCRIPTIONS table has UID (that I use with the CC company to charge the Card), and DATE_EXPIRED, DATE_PAID, VALID and LENGTH.
I am going to need to use some kind of a function to process a batch of subscriptions from the DB and send to the CC company for processing, and upon return, I should treat the subscription accordingly.
in the case the charge went ok, I mark VALID = 1, set DATE_PAID = NOW(), SET DATE_EXPIRED = NOW + INTERVAL LENGTH MONTH
but if the result is not ok, I need to mark VALID = ERROR_NO and do some actions, like sending an email, bring up messages etc.
My question is about the approach to the situation,
I will be getting a list of subscriptions that need to be updated, so:

*

*What do you think is the best way to process a batch like that?
My internal processing function is using cURL to contact the CC server, and gets a cURL response. upon which I know what to do next.
Is it a file I should write all necessary subscriptions to ? Is that a cURL to my own server to batch independently ? How do I send a batch of result for processing to myself ? What do you think is the best approach ?

*How do I keep the SELECT result to process in one time ?
I think I should clarify. Say I theoretically have 100,000 results, I think I should seperate my SELECT to portions with LIMIT X,Y then put in memory and save on memory, but on the next SELECT I will be casting upon a perhaps different table (as it might have been updated by now). I'd like to run through all 100,000 results having the same 100,000 I had in the first SELECT. Doing all the process in the page would be uneffective of course as the whole process would drop as soon as you close the page.

A: Use LOCK TABLES subscriptions WRITE to solve your second problem, and UNLOCK the table when you are done. Although really, unless you're running this on a server with no RAM at all, keeping these 100,000 rows in memory and going through them in a while loop using something like mysql_fetch_assoc or mysqli_fetch_assoc shouldn't be a problem.
As to your first question, why don't you simply process the cURL response when you get it, and save the results in the database on a per-subscription basis? I don't really see why you would want to put this into a separate file first, and certainly not why you would then need to use cURL to contact your own server?

Lockdown lifted at school in the Bayview
The windows of a white Dodge Charger were shot out at about 10:20 a.m. near the intersection of Keith Street and Newcomb Avenue, police spokesman Officer Samson Chan said.
Chan said about 10 shots were fired. The vehicle was occupied by two security guards and moving at the time, but no one was injured, he said.
The shooting occurred about a block from George Washington Carver Elementary School, which was locked down until about 12:40 p.m. Several people were later detained for questioning, Chan said. The shooting is still under investigation.
According to Chan, some of the public housing communities in the Bayview District hire private uniformed security guards to protect the area. The guards are armed, he said.
During the George Washington Carver school lockdown, classes continued inside, but no one was allowed to enter or exit the building, San Francisco Unified School District spokeswoman Gentle Blythe said.
Blythe said the lockdown was just a precaution and that school staff members are familiar with the procedure because police activity in the area is fairly common.
"The school is really a safe haven in that neighborhood for those children," she said. "Violence around the school has never entered the school, that I know of."


Sometimes you are just highly confused about everything going on in your life, you imagine being part of a circus, running around things that which are not even relevant to you. It has been some time that I have not travelled with my partner, and in the middle of all the fuss around, we decided to spend his birthday with just two of us. As he is not much of a history lover, somehow I managed to convince him for Neemrana. As we were already planned to travel Goa, the coming month we wanted a quick weekend gate away.
Well, Neemrana is around 120 odd km from Delhi on Jaipur Highway. It's an industrial place where Japanese companies have their own township. We were astonished to see a full Japanese city in India.
The best part about the town is the famous Neemrana Fort. The magnificent 15th century fort has now been restructured to act as an upscale resort without compromising on the traditional architecture. This fort palace is quite expensive as it rooms ranges from 11000 to 30000. While there are other budget options located in the town as well.
The main attraction at the fort is the larger than life lunch buffet and zip-lining. Though we found it too expensive as the cost for the entry and lunch buffet was Rs.2000 and the other option was entry and zip-lining was for Rs.2400.
We just had a tour at of the fort without opting for any of the options. The parking at the fort is free and it is absolutely at the owner's risk. You can even take a ride at their vintage car with an addition of an extra amount. Camel ride gives you a full view of the fort at 300rs per person.
It was getting quite hot at the fort, so we headed to our hotel Ramada Neemrana which is about 20 kms from Fort. I must say it's one of the best property to stay if you are looking for a leisure weekend. We were welcomed with a drink and then we headed to our room. Dinner by the pool was one of the major attraction. It accompanied by a cultural folk dance. The morning breakfast served us with various delicacies. Neemrana was an easy, quick and fun affair. The room was an executive suit and it costs around 5000 and we had our booking through make my trip. The service of the staff was slow but the beautiful property compensated for it.
It is definitely recommended to have your own vehicle for a one day trip from Delhi to Neemrana. Please do book online tickets for entry to Neemrana fort. It's way cheaper online.
There are other places to visit as well such as Bala quila, silsirah lake but if you are only looking for leisure, my suggestion is to just see the fort and enjoy your day at a good hotel.
Neemrana Fort Palace – A tryst with history and luxury!!!

Newest recruit paying his way
With a single swing of his right boot, James Constable has already repaid the £5,000 transfer fee - including the promise of a pre-season friendly - Walsall paid to Chippenham Town when they gambled on his raw talent.
Brian Dick
Just 17 minutes into his full debut, the physical 21-year-old put the Saddlers back in to their LDV Vans Trophy regional quarter-final with a stunning volley that flew past Wycombe Wanderers goalkeeper Steve Williams and sent renewed belief coursing through his new team--mates.
From there, the League One side went on to dominate their lower-ranked opponents before surviving a late scare to book their place in the southern area semi-finals - effectively the last eight of the competition - and to within three matches of a showpiece final at the Millennium Stadium.
Get there and Constable's strike could be worth hundreds of thousands.
It's all a far cry from trying to catch a scout's eye on a foggy Wednesday night in Cirencester, although by the time he was on the brink of leaving Southern League football, there were several professional clubs interested in taking the same risk.
In the end, last month, he chose to join Paul Merson's Bescot revolution and if only because of events on Tuesday night, he's glad he did.
"The goal was a bit lucky, really," Constable recalled. "It went under the defender's feet and I just hit it first time.
"You have a feeling that it's going in when you make such a clean strike, I don't think the goalkeeper had chance to react. Seeing it hit the back of the net was a nice feeling."
The goal was just part of a promising full debut in which he visibly tired. He could - perhaps should - have laid on another when he caught visiting captain Roger Johnson dallying outside his own area and slipped the ball to leading scorer Matt Fryatt.
Unfortunately for Fryatt, he could not make the most of the opportunity his partner had gifted him and his shot was turned aside. It was another incident that confirmed why Constable is worth five grand of anyone's money.
That is not to say, however, that he put in a complete performance. There were times when his movement off the ball was pedestrian and others when his decision-making with it was poor. The right pass and the right time might have garnered Fryatt a hat-trick.
Both manager and player are aware of that fact. "The pace and quality of the play - the passing is more precise and quicker - is the biggest difference between the Southern League and the Football League" he said.
"I have got to work on my touch and getting the ball into feet. In the league I was in, it was a question of just turning and going. Now I have got to lay it off, spin and get in the box and make other little changes. It'll take time."
Merson concurred. "He did a lot of good things and - without being horrible, because I think he did well - a lot of non-league things too," the former Aston Villa and England man said.
"In the first half, his ball to Matty had to be better and then, in the second half, he won the ball off the defender, played it through to Matty and their keeper made a world-class save.
"He will get better and better, though," Merson continued. "He is a big strong lad. I am pleased with him but we have got to work on a lot of stuff with him, because he looked raw."
And the supporters seem to have bought into the punt, too. When he was substituted with 20 minutes to go, Con-stable received a warm ovation. But then, he had just earned the club at least £5,000.
With four games in eight days, Constable is hopeful of getting his chance to prove himself in league action. He will hope to stay in the squad for Boxing Day's match with Tranmere Rovers, although Merson himself is only rated as 50-50 and captain Danny Fox is unlikely to be fit.
On the positive side, Simon Osborn and Daryl Taylor will be available and wing Ishmel Demontagnac completes his three-game suspension and will be available for the following game at Bradford City two days later. ..SUPL:
