Columbus Preparatory Academy
#1 Most Diverse Public Middle Schools in Ohio
Parent: We left Southwestern City Schools. My oldest is 5th-8th grade here. She's a great student &loves it! My youngest started in Kndgtn w/weekly homework&I'm thankful for this. I know if she would have gotten her start anywhere else, she would not be where she is today. They grade on an A-F scale in grades K-11, which I love! Once my youngest showed signs of struggling in reading...I FREAKED! Her having minor speech issues, didn't help with the reading level expected in kndgtn. She did so well in all other areas. She was even further along then cousins in district schools the same age, so when they wanted to retain her in kndgrtn, it was my worst nightmare. I had read&heard of this happening &didn't understand because I absolutely LOVED her teacher,&thought she was doing well. We made the decision to keep her here&I'm thankful. She flew thru her 2nd year with so much confidence. She's now thriving at the end of 1st grade. It's not always easy, but it's...A GREAT SCHOOL!
Princeton Community Middle School
Princeton City School District, OH
Niche User: I had pretty bad teachers, I felt like they were just...Bad, in general. Security guards are amazing people to know, one occasionally helped me pay for my lunch. Clubs were non-existent, but the school was easy to navigate. Each grade had their own wing, which is helpful. Really diverse, with minorities almost overcoming the white population. Student body was alright, nothing horrible. I was at the middle school before we even had a cafeteria, in my first year we had lunch in a spare gym room that always smelled funny.
Waggoner Road Middle School
Reynoldsburg City School District, OH
Westerville City School District, OH
Alum: great faculty but could dedicate more time to student resources. The library and general building are in poor condition and the children deserve better.
The Maritime Academy of Toledo
Niche User: There's an excellent teacher:student ratio, and everyone is treated like a family. I wouldn't want to change anything about my decision even if I had the chance. Going to Maritime was definitely a step in the right direction for me and many other students.
Pleasant Run Middle School
Northwest Local School District (Cincinnati), OH
Parent: It's a very diverse school that has amazing teachers who teach wonderfully, the academics are off the charts and there are some very intellectual students at this school who will become very successful!
Horizon Science Academy - Lorain
Senior: I am a Senior here at Horizon Science Academy, I've been here since 6th grade. Over the years it has changed a lot and made great changes. The changes I would love to see is high school getting their own building. Or they can improve the lunches as time goes on. That's all it's a very good school, all about keeping their students on track for a great future!
Medina Middle School

#10 Most Diverse Public Middle Schools in Ohio
Walnut Springs Middle School
Langston Middle School
Oberlin City School District, OH
Rosemore Middle School
Whitehall City School District, OH
Hannah J. Ashton Middle School
School for Creative & Performance Arts High School
Cincinnati City School District, OH
Senior: I am a visual arts major and I really love the program. The teachers are great! I have worked with Ms. Young and Ms. Sillis, and they have helped me with colleges, portfolios, art projects and have encouraged me to go and apply for competitions that I would originally not have the courage to apply for.
The only thing that is a bit annoying about the school, besides that it is school, is the fact that the office and most of the academic teachers are extremely disorganized. Especially the science teachers, really, when you take their classes I would advice taking photos of your homework because at some point they will lose the assignment and give you a zero.
I love the arts programs, but I love the arts. If you are looking for or are really passionate about the academics, I would definitely not suggest this school. But if you love the arts, then this is a great school, that gives you awesome opportunities.
Cornerstone Academy
Parent: I love the teachers... Everyone knows everyone... I feel safe knowing that my child is taken care of. A very kind and caring school.
Harmon Middle School
Pickerington Local School District, OH
Pleasant View Middle School
South-Western City School District, OH
Northwood Middle School
Elyria City School District, OH
Holt Crossing Intermediate School
Colerain Middle School
Norton Middle School
Walbridge Elementary School
Toledo City School District, OH
Cleveland Municipal School District, OH
Parent: Seven Hill's combination of caring teachers, innovative curriculum, welcoming & inclusive community and motivated administration made it the school for us. Music, PE, Spanish, and art are offered multiple times a week at the elementary level. We talk regularly to our friends who have kids in the highly rated public schools nearby. Large classes(20+), common core curriculum & too many state mandated standardized tests are constant concerns. At Seven Hills, small class size allows the teachers to know my son and daughter and provide them with the individual attention and exploration to help them grow as students and caring human beings. Best investment we've ever made!
Largest Public Middle Schools
2020 Niche Standout High Schools
2020 Best Charter Middle Schools
The Academy at Penguin Hall
Parent: This school is only 3 years old. They have come a long way and continue to strive to be the best High School experience available for young woman. There are many challenges as a newer school but the administration and staff are amazing and open to fresh , bold, innovative ideas to continue their growth. Each student is encouraged to be themselves, to be confident and empowered in everything they do. I could not be happier with the school.
Derby Academy
Parent: I was blown away by how well my children's teachers got to know them and understand their learning styles in such a short period of time. I expected that at my first parent teacher conference I would have to fill in the teachers about my kids but I didn't have to as they completely told me all the things I was going to tell them about my kids!

Eva's story
Ten things I want readers to know about Below Zero
by Jo Monroe | Nov 23, 2016 | Crime fiction posts | 4 comments
Below Zero, the sixth Ingrid Skyberg FBI Thriller, is published on Monday and I wanted to share my thoughts with you about the new book. I hope you'll find some of these insights about how I wrote the book interesting. I also really, really, hope you enjoy Ingrid's latest adventure.
This book took way too long to finish and it was much harder to write than Shoot First. (I know – for sure – that in the time it's taken me to write two Skyberg novels, Eva would have written four or five. But then, Eva was incredible.) It's really important to me that I stay as faithful as I can to Eva's notes, but I encountered a few problems with this book that slowed me down. The big one was that Eva's arc had Ingrid being held hostage for a long time, but I struggled to make a fast-paced thriller out of a woman sitting alone in a dark cold room. I had to add in a few plot devices that weren't in Eva's notes to try and keep the pace up. I think that, if Eva had been given the chance to sit down to write it, she'd also have realised it wasn't working the way she'd plotted it. But she was smarter than me, so maybe she'd have figured out differently.
Having loved the Skyberg books before I took over the series, I was really excited to see how Ingrid would behave without her supporting cast. No Ralph, no McKittrick, no Angela Tate and, crucially, no Jennifer at the end of a phone with access to the world's greatest database. Seeing Ingrid rely on her instincts and being free from the oversight of Sol and Marshall was fascinating: I think I got to know her even better writing Below Zero.
I think Below Zero works as a stand alone novel. I hope they all do, but I think it's especiall y true of this one because it doesn't have the supporting cast of regular characters. I think it's another entry point into the series (as well as Run Girl, which is Book 1) for new readers. If people like Ingrid in this book, I hope they'll go back to the beginning and see how Ingrid stopped being such a goody-two-shoes and learnt how to interpret the law with a bit more flexibility!
Eva wanted to call this book Stockholm Syndrome and making the choice not to use her title wasn't easy. There are already several books called Stockholm Syndrome, which I thought would make it hard to differentiate Eva's book, and I was also uncomfortable about making light of a psychological phenomenon that I don't really know very much about. Also, Ingrid doesn't suffer from Stockholm Syndrome in this book. Although she's taken hostage in Stockholm, she doesn't align herself with her captors: in the end, I just didn't think it was the right fit. I've tried very hard to stick closely to Eva's vision for the Skyberg books but I came to the conclusion that, if she were alive, she would have chosen Below Zero too. I felt confident making this decision because (brag alert) I named Fresh Doubt and Deep Hurt, so I'm hoping Eva would have listened to my suggestion on this one too.
I went on a research trip to Stockholm late last year, and the really weird thing is when I think about it, I have memories of being with Eva there. Strange and odd, but also fitting.
There's a mention in Below Zero about Doctor Who. That's a little insider joke between me and Eva. Ditto the Xena reference. Eva was a huge fan of the Tenth Doctor (keen readers may have spotted that Ralph bears an uncanny resemblance to David Tennant) and it was nice to get in something that I know would have made her smile.
I also think Eva would like how often Ingrid says 'tack' (the Swedish for 'thank you') in Below Zero. As you may well know from her old blog posts, she was a massive fan of Scandi noir and loved The Killing. For a time, she would say 'tack' instead of thank you, so when I found out that 'tack' – phonetically at least – is the same in Swedish as it is in Danish, I knew Eva would have made Ingrid say 'tack' a lot too! (The very fact that Eva chose a Swedish name for her protagonist was a total nod to the Scandi books she loved so much.)
The plot device about the weapons components came from a memoir I ghosted a very long time ago for a mercenary who had done just this kind of secret drop relating to missiles used in the Iran-Iraq war. So, if you think it's a bit far-fetched, think again.
The hypothermia plot line also came straight from another project I've ghosted. This year I've been working with the brilliant Megan Hine, a survival expert and adventurer who often works behind the scenes on TV shows with Bear Grylls. Meg relayed a heart-stopping tale to me about a contestant on one of her shows who fell into icy water and nearly died, and the next week I found myself in need of a life-threatening medical condition that Ingrid could cure without tools or medicine and I realised I had one! Don't be surprised if Ingrid miraculously develops all sorts of skills and insights because I've had the privilege of working with Meg. (Meg's book doesn't go on sale until next year, but if you like strong female protagonists, you might find it interesting. It's available for pre-order.)
It's a huge honour to continue writing the Skyberg books. I miss Eva every day but it truly does help to have Ingrid in my life.
Below Zero: Ingrid Skyberg FBI Thrillers Book 6
No badge, no gun, no backup. This time, Ingrid is on her own.
Stockholm is under siege. A bomb has gone off, a series of high profile people have been kidnapped, and the city is on lockdown. Unfortunately for Special Agent Ingrid Skyberg, everything is kicking off on the same day she is in town to complete a dangerous assignment.
Her undercover mission is so secret, and so illegal, that neither the FBI or the US government can ever know about it. Her instructions are simple: no ID, no credit cards, no trace. If Ingrid ends up in jail, or floating face down in the harbor, there can be no way of identifying her.
Set in the snowy landscapes of a Swedish winter, Below Zero finds the FBI's most dogged agent on the wrong side of the law and on the run. Using all her knowledge and training to evade capture, Ingrid is forced to break the rules again and again and again in order to stay alive.

Q: Does work depend on mass and velocity when energy is non-conservative? Can I affirm that work depends on mass and velocity when energy is non-conservative?
If $W = \Delta E$ when forces are non-conservative we have that $\Delta E \ne 0$, and $E$ depends on $m$ (mass) and $|\vec{v}|$(the modulus of the velocity), so, can we say $W$ depends on $m$ and $|\vec{v}|$ too in these cases?

A:
Can I affirm that work depends on mass and velocity when energy is non-conservative?

No, the work only depends on force and displacement vectors:
$$\boxed{W = \int_C \vec{F} \cdot d\vec{x}} \tag 1$$
where $C$ is a path. There is no mass or velocity in the above equation. The definition of work is related to the force and displacement, and not to what happens with an object as a result of this particular force, at least not directly. It does not care if the object weights 1 kg, 10 kg, or 100 kg. The force $\vec{F}$ in Eq. (1) can be either the resultant (net) force acting on the object in which case we talk about the total work, or a single force that acts on the object in which case we talk about work which that particular force does.
The total work done by a force depends on the displacement, and the displacement is defined via the second Newton's law
$$\sum_i \vec{F}_i = m \ddot{x}$$
where the left-hand side of the equation is a vector sum of all forces that act on the object (a cause), and the right-hand side denotes displacement (a consequence). Therefore, the displacement is affected by (i) object properties (mass, geometry etc.), (ii) current state (position, velocity), (iii) all forces $\vec{F}_i$ that act on the object etc. If you say that the work of one particular force depends on mass and velocity, then it also depends on all these other factors that affect displacement.
The work-energy theorem relates total work done on an object to change in its velocity:
$$\boxed{K_1 + W = K_2} \qquad \text{or} \qquad \boxed{\Delta K = K_2 - K_1 = W} \tag 2$$
where $W$ is the total work, while $K_1$ and $K_2$ are initial and final kinetic energy:
$$K = \frac{1}{2} m v^2$$
You could read the above equation as "kinetic energy is determined by mass and velocity", which is obvious from the equation, but this is not what the work-energy theorem says:

Total work done by the forces on an object equals change in its kinetic energy.

If the total work is positive then the kinetic energy increases and vice-versa. And this translates to change in object's velocity - if kinetic energy increases, the velocity also increases etc. It must be noted that the kinetic energy is an abstraction derived from the second Newton's law and as such works only in inertial reference frames!
There are several conditions a force must satisfy to be a conservative force. From the energy (work) perspective the necessary condition is

Work done by a conservative force can be recovered.

When you shoot a bullet up in the air, initially it has large kinetic energy and zero gravitational potential energy. As it climbs, its kinetic energy decreases while gravitational potential energy increases by the same amount (assuming there is no drag!). At the highest point, the kinetic energy is zero and gravitational potential energy equals initial kinetic energy. On the way down, the gravitational potential energy is all converted back to kinetic energy, so the bullet's final velocity equals its initial velocity. The gravitational potential energy is an abstraction of work done by the gravitational force, and this energy recuperation is something conservative forces would do.
Another example are friction forces. The total work done by a friction force cannot be recovered, it is lost in the observed system. This does not mean the energy is destroyed, it only means it has changed its form from which it cannot be recovered, even partly, by simple means. Work done by friction forces is always negative since it always acts in the opposite direction to displacement, but non-conservative forces could also do positive work (think grenades and bombs)!

Does work depend on mass and velocity when energy is non-conservative?

To answer this question, separate the total work $W$ to work done by conservative forces $W_\text{c}$ and non-conservative forces $W_\text{nc}$
$$K_1 + \underbrace{W_\text{c} + W_\text{nc}}_{W} = K_2$$
From this it follows:
$$\boxed{W_\text{nc} = \Delta K - W_\text{c}}$$
The work done by non-conservative forces depends on change in kinetic energy which is determined by object's mass and velocity magnitude, and by work done by conservative forces.

Q: Azure workerrole fails to start after swap When I deploy my project to Azure staging area. My workerrole starts and does what it's suppose to do.
But the minute after I press swap, so the staging area is pushed to production area, my workkerrole gets the following error:
A transport-level error has occurred when receiving results from the server. (provider: Session Provider, error: 19 - Physical connection is not usable)

Then the workerrole will stay idle for a few hours before actually start working again.
If I would reboot the instance the workerrole is on, it would start immediately after reboot.
Does anyone know how to fix this without rebooting every time?

A: When you perform a swap, the public IP address (VIP) will change.  This means that outgoing TCP connections will change the source IP to the new VIP.  If you keep a persistent connection to something like Azure SQL DB then the external resource (SQL in this case) may terminate the connection when it sees the new source IP address.
The solution to this is the same type of best practices you should already be implementing - retry connections.
Without knowing more about how you are creating your SQL connections it is hard to be more specific, but you can do a search for "sql azure retry connections" and you will see lots of guidance.  I would start with http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/4235.retry-logic-for-transient-failures-in-windows-azure-sql-database.aspx and http://azure.microsoft.com/blog/2010/05/11/connections-and-sql-azure/.

The flap over Mayor Bob Filner's mishandling of the Sunroad Enterprise matter brings to mind another scandal regarding that company back in the 2007-2008 time period. Comparison of these two scandals shows the staggering hypocrisy of the San Diego establishment and its mouthpiece, the Union-Tribune.
Back in the 2007-2008 period, Sunroad built a 12-story structure near Montgomery Field; both the Federal Aviation Administration and the California Department of Transportation said it was too high, and therefore unsafe for a building this close to an airport. Then-City Attorney Mike Aguirre sued and the federal and state agencies joined the suit. A number of ugly things happened: Police Chief William Lansdowne refused to serve a subpoena to a Sunroad vice president, although the subpoena had been approved by a respected judge. Elected officials such as Bonnie Dumanis and Bill Kolender collectively denounced Aguirre. Mayor Jerry Sanders huddled with aides to figure out how to get Sunroad off the hook. Why? Well, a major reason was that Sunroad had given thousands of dollars to Sanders's campaign. Another reason is that Sunroad is a real estate developer, and that element then ran City Hall. The Union-Tribune's pathetic editorial page wrote one screed after another, claiming that Aguirre was smearing the Sunroad executive, acting irresponsibly, ad nauseam.
Now Sunroad is at it again. It wanted an easement, and to do so, paid $100,000 to the City -- repeat, to THE CITY, not, as far as can be determined, to the mayor. There appears to be no doubt that the payment was a quid pro quo; Filner was stupid to accept it for City projects. His explanations of how it all happened are shaky. It does not appear that he was massaging a donor, or putting any of the money in his pockets. But the U-T, which takes delight in smearing Filner, is on the attack, questioning his trustworthiness and integrity...blah, blah, blah.
The same establishment that fought to protect Sanders and Sunroad has now done a backflip over a much less serious issue. Do things ever change?

Don, the U-T editorial sycophants to Manchester just keep ramping up their rantitorials throughout the U-T, making the paper the equivalent to reading TP, so the paper should really be renamed "Manchester TP" instead of U-T.
Manchester is schizo, part fascist tyrant who is committed to destroying American Democracy and creating a one party SuperPAC state, and part communist dictator dedicated to creating a state of poverty for the rest of us while he champions sending American manufacturing jobs to China where the SuperPAC tyrants use communist slave labor replacing "Made In USA," and then selling products in America using Wal-Mart's plantation system.

Might be time for a new "Bleak House"--lyric to "Brick House". Because we are becoming a Bleak House.
Don Bauder June 30, 2013 @ 2:38 p.m.
eastlaker: Certainly, many people in our society -- including many in the middle class -- face a bleak future because of the radically uneven distribution of wealth and income. Best, Don Bauder
Anon92107: Manchester is neither a fascist nor a communist, but he is using the newspaper to push his political agenda and promote corporate welfare projects that will help him financially. Best, Don Bauder
Anon92107 July 1, 2013 @ 11:13 a.m.
OK Don, I meant to emphasize that Manchester is like them since he wants to remake American Democracy into an oligarchy where he is part of the tyrant class, dedicated to treating all other Americans who aren't in his social class as demo slaves using deranged rantitorials in his "Manchester TP" media empire.
Hope that clarifies it, the bottom line is that Manchester is the exact same type of Tory the American patriots fought the Revolutionary War to overthrow so we could create American Democracy in the first place.
Don Bauder July 2, 2013 @ 12:08 p.m.
Anon92107: Whether or not "oligarchy" is the right word, there is no question that today's upper crust, including Manchester, wants America to become a plutonomy, or if it's already there, an even more oppressive plutonomy. A plutonomy describes a society in which the majority of wealth is controlled by an ever-shrinking minority. The economic growth depends on consumption by that tiny minority..."a rising tide lifts all yachts," is the mantra. In the U.S., the richest 10% control 90% of the stocks, for example. That's classic plutonomy. The plutocrats who want an even more oppressive plutonomy don't realize that they are fouling their own nest. More than 70% of the U.S. economy is consumer spending. When middle class income and wealth, adjusted for inflation, have actually declined over the decades, as they have, those championing plutonomy will wake up some day and realize their precious ideology has picked their own pockets.

Sunroad paid the City $100k, but they delivered it to the mayor's office. Why? "Filner was stupid to accept it for City projects. His explinations of how it all happened are shaky." That about covers it.
aardvark: But we don't know that he intended to put it in his pocket, and at this point we certainly can't say that he did. He definitely was wrong to set up the deal the way he did. He left himself vulnerable. The establishment is out to get him, just as it got Aguirre. Filner has to be careful, because the establishment has the mainstream media on its side. Best, Don Bauder
Don--I think we all agree it would have been worse if he put it in his pocket, but the fact that the check was sent to the mayor's office is what really concerned me. It was as if Sunroad was told to send it there--Why? That is the question I want answered, and Filner needs to answer for that.
aardvark: I agree: Filner should explain that. Why couldn't Sunroad just plunk it in the general fund? Best, Don Bauder
Why couldn't Sunroad just do things right? If Aguirre were still the city attorney, he would make them give that 9 feet back.
Don Bauder June 30, 2013 @ 10:02 p.m.
aardvark: One of the things that bothers me about these two episodes is that in the 2007-2008 scandal, the focus was primarily on Aguirre, who was trying to effectuate reforms. It should have been on Sunroad. Now, it's the same. The focus is on Filner. He will be investigated. Why haven't investigative bodies probed Sunroad for its activities? It takes two to tango. Best, Don Bauder
aardvark June 30, 2013 @ 11:27 p.m.
Don: It does take two to tango, and they should both be investigated. But as dumb as Filner was, someone should throw the book at Sunroad.
Don Bauder July 1, 2013 @ 8:22 a.m.
aardvark: Sunroad dodged investigation in 2007-2008. It must not wiggle off the hook this time. Best, Don Bauder
Andy Cohen July 1, 2013 @ 6:03 p.m.
Don- We do know that he DIDN'T intend to put it in his pocket. The money went to two different charitable projects: The Ocean Beach Veterans' Plaza and the Ciclos Dias event in August.
We also know that once he issued the veto of the City Council's vote, Sunroad's Tom Story contacted the mayor's office to see how they could "remove the wrench" and proceed with what the City Council had already agreed with, i.e. undo the veto. That's when the $100k donation was offered up.
This was merely a (very) clumsy effort on the part of Filner to make sure that the City wasn't giving away something of value for nothing, as City Council's past and present have been wont to do.
Andy Cohen: Because money moves in such surreptitious ways, I don't think we know that he didn't intend to put it in his pocket. I don't think he did...but I don't know. There are so many back alleys that moolah is steered through. On balance, I think Filner is doing a very good job, and his nemisis, Goldsmith, is simply a tool of the corporate welfare crowd -- and not a very slick tool. Best, Don Bauder
HonestGovernment June 30, 2013 @ 1:29 p.m.
Thanks for summarizing the history of this, Don. The current Sunroad burn is a big nothing-burger, except maybe for who really was involved in the ridiculous setup. Like, come on, leaving a voicemail for Faulconer, announcing your bribe? From corrupt Tom Story??? And really, though friends of Allen Jones talk about what a nice guy he is, if he wasn't involved in a setup, then he isn't someone who is smart enough to be paid by the taxpayers. If he were my employee, I'd yell very loudly at him AND fire him. At least he got to "resign."
Filner needs staffers with Allen Jones' kind of expertise, but he sure doesn't need double-crossers or people who think government can be run just like businesses. Jones' ties with Sherman, Zapf, and the whole development industry in general are a bit suspect.
Another aspect of the Sunroad setup, as reported by the new "watchdog," Trent Seibert, is that he included at least one lie in his story. He is a Tea Party hack from Nashville, by way of Colorado and Rick Perry's waking nightmare,Texas, who thinks that the sad events in Ben Ghazi are an Obama scandal worse than Iran Contra. Isn't it just an amazing coincidence that UT managed to find and hire him!
HonestGovernment: You are right: Filner should not have a lieutenant who is snug with real estate developers. The developers have run San Diego for far too long. Filner said as much during his campaign. He needs somebody clean. Best, Don Bauder
Visduh June 30, 2013 @ 2:56 p.m.
Bob has wounded himself here. He knew that the Manchester Mill would be waiting to pounce on any sort of indiscretion, and yet with only about a half year of his term under his belt, pulled this stunt. Worse yet, he won't admit that it was a mistake and do a mea culpa. His credibility required remaining above reproach, and now he's done something that is reproachable.
It doesn't really matter, except as a historical observation, how the rag treated his predecessor when that mayor was playing footsie with this shady developer. Bob should be on the high road, and in this case ended up in the mud.
BlueSouthPark June 30, 2013 @ 5:30 p.m.
I think you're correct, except for Filner doing anything "reproachable." When people who want to bring down a government leader are embedded in the City government as long-time staff, and are also operating outside of government and with it, in concert with insiders or not, and the job and responsibilities are complex, there will be many wounds.
The worst thing is the relentless attempt to categorize Filner as emotionally unstable, bizarre, etc. His enemies, in every skirmish, whether they win one or not, always fall back on such accusations, thus claiming a win every time. It's the same game played at the Federal level in the House by Boehner/McConnell et al..
Constant provocation ought to elicit outrage; that Filner fights back hard is a strength that is respected in many quarters, including my quarter. But if enemies want to proclaim that push-back equates to craziness and instability, and citizens who don't read the fine print accept that assessment at face value, what can Filner do? It's easy to say that Filner should just outsmart his enemies, but it's not always possible. And, he was born with the personality he has. He may not be able to find the right intermediaries in San Diego, because they jdon't exist here. That said, he has done many good things for many people in his political career and I am happy that he is here, trying to help the citizens of San Diego.
BlueSouthPark: Filner is disliked by a lot of people, including many Democrats. He has a prickly personality. Thus, the corporate welfare crowd, such as the Lincoln Club and the various downtown boosters, have attacked him personally, rather than focusing heavily on the issues. Watch out: the people picking San Diegans' pockets are going to attack Filner dispiteously so they can rake in money from the citizenry. And they have their own propaganda vehicle: the UT. Best, Don Bauder
Visduh: Agreed. Filner should be really careful. He won't be given a free pass by the mainstream media and the establishment, as Sanders was. Aguirre found that out. Filner needs a Mr. Clean for an aide. Best, Don Bauder
Psycholizard June 30, 2013 @ 5:06 p.m.
I would be concerned if the UT did not attack Filner. So long as they attack him we know the developers don't have a flunky mayor for the first time in my memory. I need to know more about this, but I like what Filner has done so far generally, and hope we can find another like him to continue the fight when he retires.
monaghan July 10, 2013 @ 10:27 a.m.
Filner is in for the long haul and will not be retiring anytime soon. The guy is seven months into a four-year term and surely will run again. He thrives on public service and he doesn't mind the politics.
We are watching an epic battle here, but the people are going to win because Filner always represents their interests. There will be setbacks and even mistakes from time to time, but true value shines through and Filner is sterling.
The oligarchs should be embarrassed by their unimaginative tactics and tawdry language -- their playbook's chapter and verse is used against Filner as it was used against others in the past to discredit and crush any/all opposition. It will not work in this instance: Mayor Filner doesn't crush or fold.
Psycholizard: I agree: on balance, Filner has done a good job steering San Diego's priorities in the right direction -- that is, away from downtown and away from corporate welfare projects. But to accomplish this, he has to be sure that he is clean. He can't micromanage, because he might miss some things that come back to bite him. Best, Don Bauder
After reading more, I have to wonder what Sunroad did to jam their variance through City Council. Filner's crime seems to be delaying the council's rubber stamp for a few weeks. If something was wrong, Sunroad was conspirator, and any investigation should look at the donations made by those associated with the firm.
Psycholizard: Any investigation should focus more on Sunroad and council than on Filner, although the mayor has some explaining to do. Best, Don Bauder
MURPHYJUNK July 1, 2013 @ 7:47 a.m.
sometimes it seems road blocks ( regulations) are put in place to elicit "donations" to get special consideration to get around them.
Murphyjunk: Yes, regulatory roadblocks often elicit so-called "donations." This is the modus operandi in many nations throughout the world -- Mexico being only one example. It happens zillions of times in the U.S., too. Best, Don Bauder
Psycholizard July 1, 2013 @ 1:58 p.m.
Sunroad seems to like to build over the limit, and then use their connections to rubber stamp their stealing of public land or airspace. They must be very confident of their influence with the City to erect buildings in violation, then ask for the variance. Sunroad's actions seem a blatant attempt to smear a political enemy rather than reward a friend, remember that Filner never took an official action in their favor. But since Sunroad has confessed it's willingness to use improper influence, perhaps State or Federal Attorneys should look at Sunroad's donations and dealings with the council members who overrode Filner's veto. I expect the powers smearing Filner will drop this soon, because if they wanted Sunroad investigated, Mike Aguirre would still be City Attorney.
Don Bauder July 1, 2013 @ 2:21 p.m.
Psycholizard: Tom Story, who handled both the 2007-2008 and the current payoffs for Sunroad, is a former top City official. Now he is a top official at Sunroad. That's one factor that makes it even more redolent.
checkthistidbit July 9, 2013 @ 10:05 p.m.
Don, one of your former collegues and recent Pulitzer Prize winner David Hassemyer was on to Sunroad in 2007, and kept at it, surprisingly getting the UT to publish his revelations.
Scan down to see how many stories: http://m.utsandiego.com/staff/david-hasemyer/stories/?page=3&;
This was as the UT was dismantling itself. People like Dave and yourself are gone. The old days of worrying about UT investigative journalism is over, now it is more like a Fox News outlet in print. I like Filner and hope he irons things out. He may have been in DC when Sunroad was caught the first time, regardless as it is inexcusable that he didn't see any red flags on his watch. On other issues he is in for one hit piece after another from the UT. Good luck to him.

A: If you use this [/|] you will have 2 delimiters and you will not know what the value after the last pipe was.
Reading your question, you want to compare the first value after the last slash without pipe chars.
If there has to be a / present in the string, you can set that as the field separator and check if there are at least 2 fields using NF > 1
Then take the last field using $NF, split on | and check if the first part is present in one of the values of file2 which are stored in array a

Tenants are responsible for and are expected to assume liability for any damage to the cottage and its contents, other than normal wear and tear, during their occupancy. Vacation homes will be inspected carefully after your departure.
Fireworks that make sound or fly are illegal in North Carolina. All town ordinances prohibit fireworks on the beach and at rental homes. Since fireworks are an illegal activity, expedited eviction will be filed if our office is notified by local law enforcement that a complaint has been made against the leaseholder or any party on the premises of any Kitty Hawk Rentals vacation rental home.
With oceanfront property, there are no intervening homes or lots between the home and the ocean. Distance from the property to the Atlantic will differ from home to home. Some houses will offer better views of the serene, windswept dunes and others, the waves of the Atlantic, so ocean view is not guaranteed.
Homes with only one lot, house, or unit between the property and ocean, are semi-oceanfront. This type of property may still offer breathtaking views. Some areas may have a road to cross to get to the ocean; however, only one property is between it and ocean. Distance to the sandy beaches and ocean may vary and ocean view cannot be guaranteed.
Oceanside - When there are two or more houses between the property and the Atlantic Ocean, it is described as Oceanside. Roads are sometimes necessary to cross and distance varies greatly. Access to the ocean is usually direct via dedicated easements and/or private roads.
Soundfront - With soundfront property, enjoy a sunset over the sound from private docks, with no intervening homes or lots between the home and the sound. This means direct access to the sound. Most homes offer private docks/piers and a view of the tranquil sound water; however, views of the sound are not guaranteed with these properties.
Soundside - When a house is closer to the sound than the Atlantic, it is said to be soundside. Distance to the sound and ocean may vary. With this type of property, there may be a view of the sound, but it cannot be guaranteed.
The home is located and connected in between canals coming off the Sound.
*Advertised yardage to the beach is calculated by using the street access to the nearest deeded or subdivision advertised beach access. NOTE: There may also be "short cuts" or "common paths" not subdivision maintained (to be used at your own risk).
Your vacation to the Outer Banks wouldn't be complete without visiting the beach. There are over 200 miles of pristine, white, sandy beaches on the Outer Banks.
Be advised, effective January 1, 2000, all vacation rentals in North Carolina are governed by the VACATION RENTAL ACT. Among the new law's provisions are unique duties, for you as a rental guest, to care for any rented property, and it gives the agent the ability to terminate the rental property and expedite an eviction of you and your party if you and/or your party breach the rental agreement. We urge you to read our rental agreement and the following summary of some of our regulations carefully and understand the implications of entering into a rental agreement with a homeowner through Kitty Hawk Rentals.
A number of our properties offer the use of fireplaces in the house. Be advised Kitty Hawk Rentals does not provide wood for wood burning fireplaces at any time. Gas fireplaces are meant for use in the months of January through April and November through December.
Fishing in the ocean or sound requires a North Carolina Fishing License. Licenses can be purchased at a local bait & tackle shops, Wal-mart or online through the North Carolina Wildlife Commission . Crabbing in the sound also requires a fishing license.
Some vacation homes advertise a heated pool as an optional add-on in the off season. The Pool Heat Fee varies per house and ranges from $200 - $500 per week unless otherwise noted. If you would like to add this option on to your vacation, please contact our office at 252-441-6082 in advance of your arrival to arrange this optional amenity. Please note that pool heat only raises the temperature 10 degrees higher than the consistent ambient air temperature (60 degrees and higher). the weather dictates the effectiveness of a pool heater and no refunds will be given in cases where weather affects the temperature of the pool.
Hot tubs are available year-round in all rentals advertising a hot tub, provided the home is open and available for rentals. Hot tubs are cleaned & serviced prior to each arrival and mid-week during your stay. View all homes with Hot Tubs.
Unless otherwise noted, all of our vacation rental properties offer complimentary Wireless Internet (WiFi). Internet speeds vary per home. For homes providing Wireless Internet, there is no fee to use and access the service. Please do not abuse internet service by accessing illegal websites. All Internet activity at Kitty Hawk Rentals properties is monitored and regulated to prevent abuse.
A maximum of two sets of keys are available for each vacation home. Keys are presented upon check-in and must be returned to Kitty Hawk Rentals upon checking out. There will be a $5.00 charge for lost keys. Prospective renters will not be given any keys to inspect property because of liability involved to both homeowner and prospective renter.
Many of our homes offer the convenience of Keyless Entry. Guests of these homes will be provided with an entry code that will work throughout the week of stay. Guests of keyless entry homes will be offered express check-in, which will allow the guest to go straight to the home at normal check in time (unless otherwise notified from Kitty Hawk Rentals) and bypass checking in at the office. Guests will be emailed an electronic check in packet prior to arrival that will supply them with directions to the home and code for entry. Please know that, by default, keyless entry codes will begin working at 4 pm on the day of check-in, unless otherwise arranged.
Many of our homes provide sheets & towels, others provide sheets only, and some do not provide either - offering a guest linen purchase option. If a home provides sheets & towels, sheets & pillowcases are provided for each advertised bed (including sleep sofas) and towel sets (1 bath, 1 hand towel & 1 washcloth) are included for the advertised occupancy. If a home provides sheets only, then sheets and pillowcases are provided for each advertised bed. You may rent towel sets from Kitty Hawk Rentals at $7/set. If your vacation home does not provide sheets or towels, you may opt to bring your own or you may rent them through Kitty Hawk Rentals for an additional fee (varies per home). Guest linen option prices are noted in each property's bedding description. Guest linen option includes sheets & towels delivered to your vacation home prior to your arrival. Please tell your Vacation Specialist at the time you make your reservation or just give us a call to place your order anytime. Each property's bedding description will display whether it provides sheets & towels, sheets only or guest linen option ($).
Kitty Hawk Rentals will not be responsible for personal items left in the cottage. If you left a personal item at one of our vacation homes, please contact our office to ask if the item was found. If the item is found, a $25 service fee will be charged in addition to the cost of mailing items back via UPS. Visa or MasterCard is required to do this. Any items found in homes that are not claimed within 14 days will be donated to charity. Clothing items will be donated to charity as they will not be brought back to our offices.
All Kitty Hawk Rentals reservations include a thorough clean before and after occupancy at no additional charge. In addition to the regular cleaning done before your arrival and after your departure, we are pleased to offer you the convenience of maid service during your stay. Our cleaning service cost varies with the size of the home. Call our office for details and arrangements. For multiple week stays, we offer a complimentary, optional weekly cleaning that will be arranged at your request.
All equipment in each vacation home should be in working order. Please report any inoperative equipment to our office promptly. We will make every reasonable effort to have the problem corrected. Under no circumstances will there be a reduction of rent for any mechanical failure of items including but not limited to, air conditioning, dishwasher, washer, dryer, TV, VCR, Spas, Swimming Pools, or any other appliances or amenity. There are no refunds for inclement weather, including hurricanes.
Messages and mail can be received through and picked up at our office. We do not deliver messages, except in case of extreme emergency (death, accident, serious illness). After hours emergency calls should be directed to the Dare County Sheriff's Office at 252-473-4381. For those vacationing in Corolla, Ocean Sands or Whalehead, contact the Currituck County Sheriff's Office at, 252-232-2216.
Be advised the parking capacity at the majority of our vacation homes is never more than the number of bedrooms in the property (maximum of 5 cars). In other words, a 3 bedroom would typically have parking for 3 cars; 4 bedrooms would have the capacity for 4, etc. Very few vacation homes have the capacity for more than 5 cars even if the property is larger than 5 bedrooms. We advise you of this in advance so you can plan your travel accordingly. Parking regulations are strictly enforced in many areas of the Outer Banks, and if one of your cars is parked on the street in front of the home you risk being ticketed or towed. Specific questions on individual Outer Banks rental homes parking can be addressed with one of our Vacation Specialists.
Kitty Hawk Rentals pet-friendly homes allow dogs only. Properties permitting dogs will have a fee ($150.00 plus tax unless otherwise noted) for the privilege. Limited to 2 adult house-trained dogs only. No dogs allowed in pool or hot tub. Vacation homes that do not clearly state that pets are allowed DO NOT permit pets. If one is brought to a property that does not allow dogs or the animal is not claimed in advance, in writing, violation of the NO PET rule will be grounds for immediate eviction without refund. Absolutely no other type of animal but dogs are permitted. Absolutely no puppies or breeds considered dangerous by insurance companies including but not limited to Rottweilers, Pit Bulls, and Doberman Pincers. If a formal complaint is lodged against your dog you will be asked to board your dog for the remainder of your stay or be evicted without refund. Please view town rules and regulations for pets on the beach.
The use of recreational motor vehicles, trailers, mobile homes, trucks with camper inserts in the bed, and other vehicles that provide sleeping accommodations, for any purposes other than transportation, are prohibited. Over-occupancy of rental cottages includes occupying vehicles of this type and subjects tenant(s) to eviction for violation of the occupancy limits. Some subdivisions prohibit even parking RVs in the driveway. Operation of a golf cart on any public street, road or highway is prohibited by the State of North Carolina.
Many homeowners graciously provide telephones for your convenience and safety. Please do not abuse this privilege by charging long distance calls or personal internet charges to the vacation home telephone. There will be a $25.00 collection fee added to any calls charged to an owner.
All of our homes offer curbside trash collection on designated days throughout the week. Each home provides designated trash and/or recycling receptacles for your use. Instructions on trash collection will be provided in your check-in packet.
The unique qualities of the area (which draws so many visitors to the Outer Banks) unfortunately, also share some drawbacks. Many of the Corolla area vacation homes get water from private wells. The quality of the water may vary and will probably not be like the water you are used to, even with filtration systems ensuring the water is potable. If you do not wish to drink the water we recommend you purchase bottled water for drinking and cooking. Although the water is safe for drinking, cooking, washing, and bathing there is a possibility of discoloration to clothing, tubs, toilets and even chemically treated hair. Kitty Hawk Rentals is not responsible for water quality and no refunds will be made regarding this issue.
Only our event homes will require a refundable damage deposit, the event security deposit is $1000 and will apply to any event at the property that exceeds the advertised occupancy. The purpose of this deposit is to allow the homeowner to recover some of the expenses incurred from obvious or malicious neglect or from additional cleaning required due to the tenant leaving the vacation home in an abnormally dirty condition. The vacation home will be inspected after your departure, and the deposit remitted within 45 days from the date of your departure. Visitors must report damage to their vacation home immediately in writing or possibly be held responsible at check-out. Additional Security deposit amounts may be added to any vacation home at agent's discretion.
Our three rental offices are open 7 days a week from 8:30 AM until 5:30 PM. On Saturdays and Sundays beginning June 4th through September 18th, the office is open until 6:30 PM. We are closed the following dates in 2017: New Years Day - January 1, Easter - April 16, Labor Day - September 4, Thanksgiving - November 24-25, Christmas - December 23-26.
We offer three convenient rental offices in Kitty Hawk, Duck, and Corolla.

Prof. Dr. med. Heinrich Rosin
Berlin, 28.08.1863
Specialist in internal medicine
Heinrich Rosin was born in Berlin in 1863 as the son of the educator and religious philosopher Dr. phil. David Rosin and his wife Emma, née Meyer. His father David Rosin was head of the religious school of the Jewish community in Berlin and moved to the Jewish theological seminary in Breslau/Wroclaw as a teacher in 1864.
Education and Places of Work
Rosin studied medicine in Breslau and Freiburg im Breisgau, where he passed the state examination in 1887. He was awarded his doctorate the same year at the University of Freiburg with the thesis "Über das idiopathische multiple pigmentlose Hautsarkom".
After his studies, Rosin worked as an intern at the municipal Allerheiligen-Hospital in Breslau until 1892. During this period, he spent some time in England to study tuberculosis. He worked at the III Medical Clinic of the Charité in Berlin under Hermann Senator from 1892 to 1902, at the same time as Hermann Strauss, Paul Friedrich Richter, and Theodor Rosenheim. He habilitated in internal medicine at the University of Berlin in 1896 and was appointed professor (extraordinarius) in 1921. He had already been appointed "Titularprofessor" (senior lecturer) in 1902.
His scientific work focused on physiological-chemical issues, on the central nervous system, on blood diseases including haemophilia, as well as anaemia and chlorosis. The Rosin-Trousseau test for the detection of bilirubin in urine with the aid of an iodine solution is co-named after him. (Berliner Klinische Wochenschrift 1893; 30: 106 – 108).
Heinrich Rosin was one of the co-founders of the "Jüdische Blindenanstalt für Deutschland" (Jewish Institution for the Blind in Germany) and was chairman of the institution's sponsor "Verein Jüdische Blindenanstalt" ( Association of the Jewish Institution for the Blind) from 1910.
Rosin worked together with Paul Hirsch-Mamroth in the latter's private clinic for gastrointestinal diseases from 1924.
In addition to his medical work, Rosin was interested in cultural history and published a book on the role of the Jews in medicine in 1926.
Heinrich Rosin's licence to teach at the Friedrich Wilhelm University in Berlin was revoked on 14 September 1933 because of his "non-Aryan descent" (§ 3 of the Law for the Restoration of the Professional Civil Service of 7 April 1933).
Heinrich Rosin died in Berlin on 23 October 1934. His grave is located at the Jewish Cemetery Berlin-Weissensee.
Rosin's wife, Anna Babette Rosin, née Büchenbacher, born in Fürth on 5 October 1884, fled to the Netherlands. She was imprisoned at the Westerbork camp in 1943 and deported to the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp on 16 February 1944. Anna Rosin was one of the inmates of the "lost train", which travelled east from Bergen-Belsen on 10 April 1945 and stopped 12 days later in Tröbitz, Brandenburg. The hygienic conditions on the train were catastrophic. The prisoners were liberated by Soviet soldiers on 23 April 1945. Anna Rosin died of paratyphoid fever, pneumonia and heart and circulatory weakness in Riesa on 28 May 1945. She was buried in Riesa. Her body was exhumed on 13 January 1949 and reburied at the large Jewish cemetery in Muiderberg, the Netherlands (information from the Bergen-Belsen Memorial dated 12 August 2021). There is a memorial stone at the Trinitatis cemetery in Riesa commemorating Anna Rosin. The Rosin's son Hans David was murdered at Auschwitz in September 1942 at the age of 32. Their daughter Eva Esther survived the Holocaust in France and emigrated to the USA in 1946, where she died in California in 1997.
We would like to thank Ramona Geissler, Stadtmuseum / Stadtarchiv Riesa, for the photograph of the memorial stone for Anna Babette Rosin at the Trinitatis cemetery in Riesa. We would also like to thank Bernd Horstmann, from the Bergen-Belsen Memorial, for the information he provided in August 2021. We are grateful to Carolyn Nauman for her research and for important information on the Rosin family, on Rosin's father David and for the photograph of Heinrich Rosin's gravesite at the Jewish Cemetery Berlin-Weissensee.

This succulent dish garden is perfect for a bright-shade location, such as indoors near a window. It makes a great gift, and all its components are readily available. Owner Jeanne Meadow displays it on her covered patio and waters it minimally (once a week in warm weather, once a month in cool).
Design by Megan Boone of Nature's Containers, Temecula, CA, for Jeanne Meadow.
One rectangular 9×12 bonsai pot (available at garden centers or online). A matte-finish, earth-toned container helps suggest that the composition came straight from the garden.
Upper right corner: Aloe nobilis 'Variegata' rosette. Variegates like less sun and tend stay smaller than their solid-green cousins.
Lower right: A green sempervivum. This one's fuzzy texture makes leaf edges look outlined with white.
Lower middle: Haworthia attenuata (zebra plant). It has intriguing raised white ridges and repeats the fountainlike shape of other plants.
Lower left: A Sempervivum arachnoideum (cobweb houseleek) cluster fills the corner, repeats the solo sempervivum, and offers interesting texture accented with white.
Upper left: Gasteria bicolor. A little sun will bring out the red in its leaves. Its sculptural and its whitish dots serve as a subtle counterpoint to white on other plants.
Upper middle: A peperomia provides contrasting texture and serves as filler. Without it, the composition would be too regimented—less loose and natural. Any similarly sized and shaped succulent, such as Othonna capensis, will work as well.
Rocks: These three from Jeanne's collection are varying sizes and shapes, are interesting in their own right, and are in scale with the plants. They also create planting pockets, making it possible to vary the elevation slightly.
Topdressing: By covering bare dirt, crushed rock gives a finished look and helps hold in soil moisture. And in keeping with the natural theme, this warm-toned gravel appears to have crumbled from the larger rocks.
Note that the gasteria is in bloom, but this isn't about flowers. It showcases foliage, texture and form, as any good succulent container garden should!
See more of Megan Boone's designs on my website.
Find additional succulent container ideas on my Instagram, Facebook and Pinterest pages.
Jeanne's garden is also featured in my book, Designing with Succulents (2nd ed.).
Get Tips from a Top Succulent Container Garden Designer (Melissa Teisl).
Megan Boone of Nature Containers Vintage Garden Art designs in three dimensions, using cast-off objects to showcase succulents and vice-versa. As exemplified by the pick above, Megan brings elegance and whimsy to her artistry by reinterpreting the forms and lines of utilitarian objects. I love how the aloe perfectly repeats the shape and color of the rusty metal, and also emphasizes its arc.
The Temecula, CA, artist has teamed up with nearby Water Wise Yard Design & Decor to enhance their outdoor showroom with one-of-a-kind container gardens. Those shown here are just a sample; Megan's continually coming up with something new made from something old.
Megan told me that her choice of stacked crassulas (Crassula perforata, above) coincidentally echoed the wire basket handle. Perhaps, but talented designers often do things subliminally.
Hm. What ARE these containers? They look familiar but I can't quite place them.
Doesn't the wheel below suggest a succulent wreath? Note the texture of the metal and how Megan left some of it unplanted to show the criss-cross pattern.
I'm not normally a fan of shoes planted with succulents, but the boot below spoke to me. The lines, proportions and colors really work.
Love this planted teakettle, too. The crassulas suggest steam; the senecio, flowing water.
Wouldn't the wood palettes below and the planted window frame make great vertical accents for a garden or patio? They could also serve as privacy screens.
I couldn't resist showing you Leroy, Megan's bloodhound. The velvet-eared puppy hangs out with her at work, regarding her with soulful eyes. Clearly Leroy knows that his coppery coat contrasts beautifully with Senecio mandraliscae. Perhaps he's her muse.

SOELDEN, Austria (Jan. 5, 2015) – The U.S. Ski Team is mourning the loss of two promising development-level ski racers killed Monday in an avalanche in Soelden. The two were among a group of six athletes freeskiing at the Austrian resort. The other four skied out of the slide.
Killed in the avalanche were Ronnie Berlack, 20 (Franconia, NH and Burke Mountain, VT) and Bryce Astle, 19 (Sandy, UT).
Berlack grew up racing in New Hampshire and had been a student-athlete at Vermont's Burke Mountain Academy. He was named to the U.S. Ski Team's Development Team following two top-20s at the 2013 U.S. Alpine Championships and a spring tryout camp.
Astle raced at Snowbird and was invited to train with the development team trip this season. He had posted strong early season results, including two top-10 NorAm Cup races last month in Canada.
Information on services is pending.
Friends and fans who have something to say about these young athletes, please share your thoughts on the Facebook post.
New Hampshire native Ronnie Berlack, 20, earned a spot on the U.S. Ski Team's Development Team following a spring 2013 tryout camp at Mammoth Mountain. He had been a student at Vermont's Burke Mountain Academy. He had finished 11th in downhill and 17th in super G at the 2013 U.S. Alpine Championships in Squaw Valley. He was off to a strong season last year before suffering a knee injury last January. He had come back, competing in South American Cup races in Chile this summer and in NorAm and FIS races last month in Canada.
Utah's Bryce Astle, 19, grew up racing with the Snowbird Ski Team. He was 13th in giant slalom at the U.S. Alpine Championships in Squaw Valley last March, finishing as the top junior. He had been invited to train with the development team this season. He posted strong results in South American Cup races in Chile this summer, and was coming off a pair of top-10 slalom and giant slalom NorAm Cup finishes in Canada last month, where he was on the junior podium in all but two events.
The Astle family has asked that in lieu of flowers, donations be sent to Snowbird Sports Education Foundation, 3165 E Millrock Drive, STE 190, Holladay, UT 84121.
