Another week, another Diamond Plate Wednesday. Food truck owners have to be some of the nicest people I have ever met, and I will never stop saying this. We had two trucks out at the office again this week, Post Oak BBQ and Cowtown Creamery's sister truck, Daisy's Desserts. Kind of crazy how we had BBQ and dessert two weeks in a row, but I heard absolutely no one complaining.
I was really intrigued this week having the same style food for lunch two weeks in a row, BBQ. It was a great opportunity to taste two amazing takes on the same style of cooking. Post Oak BBQ really brought their A-game this week. Their menu is pretty simple and straight forward, but their flavors were anything but. The truck has all your favorites: brisket, pulled pork, ribs, potato salad, mac n' cheese and slaw. The trick here is their individual take on some classic items.
Being in my position, I get the pleasure of trying most of the food these trucks offer. So, I bought my plate and told them to just mess me up with a little bit of everything. When I was handed my box, I couldn't believe just how heavy it was! I literally had a little bit of everything. I started with the peanut slaw because it really peaked my interest as something different. It was not at all what I imagined, but better. The slaw had the perfect subtle hint of peanuts, I am not a slaw girl and I loved it. The potato salad and mac n' cheese were both really good as well; they had that "just like my mom used to make it" feel which is exactly what I expect from BBQ.
With this BBQ box, I save the best for last, the meat! The pulled pork was first on the list, and it was so tasty. It was exactly what I wanted in pulled pork, and then I put the BBQ sauce on it. Man, oh man, I could swim in that sauce! Post Oak makes a beautiful sauce. It is slightly sweet but mostly embraces the smoky, hearty flavors that come to mind when you think of BBQ. I picked the bottle of sauce back up and drenched my plate in the stuff!
Just as I was about to dig into the brisket, I met a woman who was waiting for her food, and she began to tell me about her and her husband's love for the brisket. As she spoke, my mouth began to water. They drove a solid 25 minutes to track this truck down just for the brisket! After one bite, I could see why. The smoked flavor was phenomenal, and it just fell apart. There was no need for a knife.
Soon after meeting this lovely, brisket driven woman of my own heart, I went back up to my desk, so I could give the ribs a real try. They were as long as my face, and the meat just came off the bone. Before I knew it, the bones were bare and my face was covered in BBQ sauce, but I didn't care. As I made my way to our little kitchen area for some more paper towels, I was greeted by a table of happy coworkers, ALL 6 of them with a brisket sandwich of their own. The food was a hit, and they are at the top of my list for the next time I want some brisket!
Daisy's Sweets: This food truck is MASSIVE!
Now I know I've don't a spot on Cowtown Creamery before, but the Daisy's Dessert truck is a completely different experience. It is literally the biggest truck I have seen; this thing is MASSIVE. If you want to see a truck with all the bells and whistles, this is it, complete with a scrolling LED sign and a giant cursive "Daisy's" that pops up on top. The truck is a wonder to behold and a treasure trove for those like me who have a major soft spot for sweets. The truck boasts a long list of ice cream flavors, fresh mini doughnuts, multiple sundae options, frozen lemonade and more!
Of course, I asked to sample multiple ice cream flavors, and I simply had to have a mini doughnut. I also tried the frozen lemonade too. The seasonal/rotating flavors of pumpkin and huckleberry were both to die for. As previously mentioned, I am an absolute sucker for pumpkin anything and the huckleberry you just don't see every often as a flavor. I recommend both!
Now you need little backstory. The owner of the Daisy's truck recently acquired a kitchen where he has been working on some more elevated dessert options. You can see the development of this on their Facebook Page. Never in my life, did I think I would see strawberry shortcake or Crème brûlée on a truck like this. I should have known better. Oh, and they have home made peanut brittle…. how can this get any more extravagant?
Well sadly I missed out on the shortcake, but I did get to try the other two. The peanut brittle echoed that down home, "just like my mom used to make it" feeling that you got from Post Oak. But the Crème brûlée, now that was something you would expect from a fancy French restaurant. The custard wasn't too sweet, and had the perfect smooth texture. Each one was hand torched (you could see it happening through the pickup window) and required a nice crack of your spoon to break through, just as it should. This truck really is a wonder from the basics to the wonders of the dessert world. There is truly something for everyone.
Thank you so much to both of these trucks for coming to our little corner of Sacramento to feed us. It is truly a pleasure to have someone new here every week!
Join us next Wednesday, October 24th, from 11am to 2pm for Cousins Maine Lobster. The food truck will be parked next to our office at 4090 Truxel Road in Natomas.

Q: What is the scope of a statically declared struct in c++ So it's been a while since I did anything with c++ so please help me out on this issue.
I have a struct that I declare in a scope and then put in a map. How come this instance is still there outside of the scope. Shouldn't the allocated instance be deallocated?
#include <iostream>
#include <map>
#include <iterator>

struct foo {
  int key;
  int val;
};

int main() {
  std::map<int,foo> map;
  for (int i=0; i<10; i++) {
    foo f; // allocated 1 time only?
    f.key = 1000 + i;
    if (i%2==0) {
      f.val = i;
    }
    map.insert(std::make_pair(i, f)); // f is copied into the pair?
  }

  for (std::map<int, foo>::iterator it = map.begin(); it != map.end(); ++it) {
    std::cout << it->first;
    std::cout << " :: ";
    std::cout << it->second.key;
    std::cout << " -> ";
    std::cout << it->second.val;
    std::cout << std::endl;
  }
}

this will generate the following
0 :: 1000 -> 0
1 :: 1001 -> 0
2 :: 1002 -> 2
3 :: 1003 -> 2
4 :: 1004 -> 4
5 :: 1005 -> 4
6 :: 1006 -> 6
7 :: 1007 -> 6
8 :: 1008 -> 8
9 :: 1009 -> 8

Is the comments in the code correct?
Now, say I would like to only instanciate val every other time, and the even times i would like it to be 0 (default). What would be the safest and most efficient way of doing this?

A: Containers hold copies of the values, and these copies
will have the same lifetime as the container. This is
called 'value-semantics', and is a key component of C++
#include <iostream>
#include <vector>

struct SomeType {
    int val;
};

int main()
{
    using namespace std;

    {
        int a = 3;
        int b = a;
        a = 4;
        cout << b << endl; // this prints 3, int is a value type
    }

    {
        SomeType a = {3};
        SomeType b = a;
        a.val = 4;
        cout << b.val << endl; // this prints 3, SomeType is a value type
    }

    {
        vector<int> a = {3};
        vector<int> b = a;
        a[0] = 4;
        cout << b[0] << endl; // this prints 3, vector is a value type
    }
}

As you can see, C++ follows value-semantics (almost) everywhere.
The only exceptions are thing like std::shared_ptr, which are
designed to use reference/pointer semantics instead.
In general, when designing types in C++, do what ints do.
Regarding your updated question, foo is default-constructed 10 times
(in the for loops body), copy constructed ten times (while creating pairs),
lastly move-constructed ten times (while inserted into the container).
Your code fails to initialize foo::val half of the time.
When I compile it on https://coliru.stacked-crooked.com/
I get:

main.cpp: In function 'int main()':   main.cpp:18:35: error:
'f.foo::val' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]
     map.insert(std::make_pair(i, f)); // f is copied into the pair?

(compiled with std=c++17 -O2 -Wall -Wextra -Werror -pedantic)
Failing to initialize a variable, and still reading it is UB
(Undefined Behavior), so anything can happen;
To get the output you requested, and fewer copies, try:
#include <iostream>
#include <map>

struct foo {
    int key;
    int val;
};

int main() {
    std::map<int,foo> map;
    int val = 0;
    for (int i=0; i<10; i++) {
        int key = 1000 + i;
        if (i%2==0)
            val = i; // not doubled
        map.emplace(i, foo{key, val});
    }

    for (auto&& item : map) {
        std::cout << item.first << " :: " << item.second.key;
        std::cout << " -> " << item.second.val << std::endl;
    }
}

SECOND QUARTER GLOBAL EVENTS
Excitement is building towards GSX this September in Las Vegas, as evidenced by the energy at the following events that took place in the second quarter of 2018.
CSO Summit
Transparency battles. Global rules in flux. Artificial intelligence.
Global chief security officers and deputies who attended the 11th Annual CSO Summit April 29 through May 1 at Target Plaza Commons in Minneapolis, Minnesota, grappled with how these and other change drivers will affect the security profession.
While key conversations and experiences—such as a private security tour of U.S. Bank Stadium—were prevalent, at center stage was a forward-looking agenda aiming to make sure security executives adapt and remain relevant to their organizations.
Futurist and cybersecurity professional Scott Klososky led off the conference by emphasizing that security leaders are responsible for looking into the future and—before anyone else—understanding how the world, their industry, and their businesses are changing, especially with an eye toward future risk.
For every cutting-edge technology solution or strategic advantage discussed throughout the event, there was equal and appropriate caution regarding unintended consequences.
For example, artificial intelligence will help security by enabling analysis of logarithmically more data, such as using HR records to identify insider threats, but it has to be implemented properly and with auditability because it can lead to algorithmic bias—that is, it could systematically discriminate against certain groups.
A common theme across the two days was to define security initiatives in terms of drivers and enablers of business and savings, rather than as sunk costs. Speakers shared examples of strategies they used to calculate the cost savings of implementing new security projects to justify those programs to the C-suite.
Another common theme was that the path forward for corporate security, and sustainable success in business, requires effective implementation of enterprise security risk management (ESRM), where the organization formally and holistically manages risk.
This can go hand-in-hand with a DevSecOps approach, where all employees are empowered to contribute to organizational safety and security, especially as it becomes more difficult to centralize response to the growing activities and vast data sources generated by modern business processes and systems.
CSOs and their deputies will have the opportunity to continue exploring the evolution of these change drivers and attend exclusive educational sessions in the CSO track at GSX in September.
ASIS NYC
Thousands of security and law enforcement professionals gathered at the Jacob K. Javits Center May 16 and 17 for the ASIS 28th New York City Security Conference and Expo to dive into networking, education, and exhibits at the Northeast's leading security event.
The event started with a Security Rocks welcome party at the Hard Rock Cafe on Tuesday evening. Live entertainment set the scene for fun and networking worthy of the Big Apple.
Conference education began Wednesday morning with a keynote from JPMorgan Chase Crisis Management Head Scott Morrison, who discussed emerging threats and trends.
The emerging trends theme continued throughout the day, via a panel discussing the legal and practical applications of drone technologies, a crash course on implementing ESRM to earn security a "seat at the table," and a talk from Facebook Chief Global Security Officer Nick Lovrien, who explored the challenges associated with securing Facebook's open office environment.
Thursday's education focused on active assailant attacks, with sessions devoted to emergency preparedness and vehicle-involved attacks. At Thursday's Person of the Year Luncheon, the ASIS New York City Chapter honored His Eminence Timothy Cardinal Dolan for his service to the people of New York.
On both days, a bustling expo floor provided attendees the opportunity to meet with some of the region's foremost solutions providers.
ASIS Toronto Best Practices
ASIS Toronto's largest educational event of the year, the 2018 Best Practices Seminar held on April 19, was its largest ever, with a full house of 200 attendees and speakers. It was the 25th annual seminar for the chapter.
For the first time, the event was held in the Grand Banking Hall of the Dominion Bank building at One King West in downtown Toronto. Attendees enjoyed a jam-packed day of presentations set against the historic ballroom's dramatic backdrop.
Themed #SecurityEmerging, the seminar featured topical sessions including hyperloop, ESRM, and cannabis. John Minster, physical security manager, TD Bank, discussed video analytics, demonstrating examples of how to apply basic analytics in a variety of real-world applications, with measurable results to the organization. The day concluded with a panel of experts who discussed the role of the security professional in dealing with workplace sexual assault.
The 26th Annual Best Practices Seminar will be held on April 11, 2019. Visit asistoronto.org for details.
ESRM: MID-YEAR UPDATE
By Tim McCreight, CPP, and Rachelle Loyear.
The ASIS ESRM Initiative is now at its halfway point for 2018. During the leadership sessions held in Washington, D.C., in January, ASIS made it clear that enterprise security risk management (ESRM) is a priority for the Society today, and into our future. As co-chairs of this important work, we are pleased to share a status report detailing the efforts to infuse ESRM into the Society's programs and services.
It is with great pride we can say that in the past six months, the ESRM Initiative has accomplished a number of significant achievements. Four value streams were established, each led by a subject matter expert and a representative from the ASIS Board of Directors.
They focus on Education, Standards and Guidelines, Marketing/Branding, and Maturity Model Tool. We are already seeing the fruits of these groups' labor with the following initiatives well underway:
• Education. An ESRM webinar, including definitions and key points, was developed to ensure that all the ESRM presenters at Global Security Exchange (GSX) are "singing from the same songbook." In addition, a draft glossary of terms has been created and an ESRM 101 training will be available by GSX.
• Standards and Guidelines. A draft ESRM guideline is on track to be completed by GSX. This document outlines an approach to security program management using risk principles to link an organization's security practice to its mission and goals. The working guideline also describes the concept of ESRM, including its four principal elements, as well as additional steps security professionals can take to strengthen an ESRM effort, bring it to maturity, and maintain it over time.
• Maturity Model Tool. Requirements for the tool have been established and a request for proposal for a supplier has been disseminated.
• Marketing and Branding. An ESRM slide deck was distributed to all chapter and council leaders, and several articles have been written detailing the need for security professionals to apply ESRM within their organizations.
There is a great deal of rigor and project management going on behind the scenes within the ESRM Initiative, and it shows. The value streams are all on track to deliver their key project updates by GSX, and there will be a number of educational sessions at GSX to showcase some of the deliverables, including a pre-conference program workshop.
Check the GSX program guide to see all the ESRM sessions for 2018, and feel free to contact us at esrm@asisonline.org if you have questions or would like more information on any of the value streams.
Tim McCreight, CPP, is ESRM Initiative board sponsor, and Rachelle Loyear is ESRM Initiative program manager.
Wharton/ASIS Program for Security Executives: Making the Business Case for Security.
October 21-26.
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
With so many new threats confronting today's organizations, corporations are challenged by competing security priorities, as well as how to invest their resources wisely.
How do they best protect their employees and their organizations' networks and data from harm? As a security professional, how do you communicate the security story so leaders fully understand the costs, benefits, and risks of not having a comprehensive strategy?
Designed for senior security leaders, the Wharton/ASIS Program for Security Executives will enhance participants' business acumen and effectiveness in key areas of strategy, negotiation, critical thinking, and managing change. Attendees will gain the leadership and management skills needed to help them work more effectively and communicate the bottom-line impact of security decisions to the C-suite—so security priorities can be moved forward.
Through interactive lectures, exercises, and case studies, both in the classroom and in smaller work groups, this custom-designed program will enable participants to create effective security strategies in a fast-changing, global environment. Attendees will come away with a strategic toolbox that will help put these business skills into immediate practice, as well as recognition of their own leadership and communication strengths.
ASIS members save $1,000 (and CSO Center members qualify for an additional discount) on the regular program fee—which includes all meals and accommodations. Visit asisonline.org/wharton to learn more and apply.
IT SECURITY COUNCIL SPOTLIGHT
"Cybersecurity is like painting a bridge," says ASIS Information Technology Security Council Vice Chair Robert Raffaele, CPP. "As soon as you decide on a practice and implement it, it's time to start over again. The technology advances so rapidly that documented best practices can quickly become obsolete."
The IT Security Council carries the unique burden of sharing its members' world-class information security expertise in forms that won't be outdated by the time they reach their audience.
Earlier this year, the council published Security on the Internet of Things: An Enterprise Security Risk Management Perspective, a white paper examining risks security professionals need to keep in mind as today's devices become more and more connected.
Given the nature of IT security, the council emphasizes person-to-person knowledge-sharing—timely advice delivered when it's needed most. This September, the council will sponsor 11 education sessions at GSX. These sessions will cover topics like cyber terrorism, mobile device security, cybersecurity for physical security professionals, emerging technologies, safe cities, and more.
The council also offers itself as a yearlong resource, connecting security professionals with the appropriate council members and trusted industry experts needed to tackle real-time IT security problems.
"In security, trust is such a big factor," says 2018 Council Chair Jeff Sieben, CPP. "It's so much easier to rely on a particular process when that process has been vetted by someone you trust. As a council, we're happy to be that bridge between members and the reliable, immediate information they need."
Sieben says the council's role is to be a consultative body of subject matter experts.
"This council's greatest asset is members who stay current and are available to talk about current topics," he says. "Our members are plugged into the greater IT security sphere, contributing to ISACA, ISSA, SIA, (ISC)2, and more."
To consult with the IT Security Council, email council leadership or message a council member on ASIS Connects. The full council roster can be found on the council's community page. Search "Information Technology Security Council."
ASIS LIFE MEMBERS
ASIS congratulates Eduardo Martinez Fulgencio, CPP; Leonard A. Rosen; and H. John Bates, CPP; who were granted lifetime ASIS membership.
Fulgencio served as an ASIS assistant regional vice president for many years. He also held the positions of chapter newsletter chair, chapter chair, treasurer, and chapter program chair for the Philippines Chapter of ASIS. He has been a member of ASIS for more than two decades.
Rosen and Bates were automatically honored with the lifetime award for their continuous membership of more than 50 years. ASIS is grateful for their loyalty for more than half a century.
MEMBER BOOK REVIEW
Private Security and the Law, Fifth Edition. By Charles P. Nemeth. CRC Press; crcpress.com; 739 pages; $89.95.
As the security profession makes strides in education and training, there is a concurrent need for books that light the path. Dr. Charles Nemeth has written such a book: Private Security and the Law. This fifth edition is a big one, both in size and what it has to say. The author has significant experience as both a security practitioner and a scholar. In this book, he nimbly toggles between the two worlds, presenting a viewpoint that is unbiased and comprehensive.
Nemeth acknowledges the tension between public policing and private security, while showing how the two can work symbiotically. The first chapter presents the historical underpinnings of the profession, giving a rich history of private security protection.
The next chapters focus on regulation and licensing; the law of arrest, search, and seizure; civil causes of action; criminal culpability and the private security industry; and evidentiary issues. These chapters help the reader understand how complex areas of the law relate to the security profession.
As both an attorney and a professor of security management, I would refer to this book because it presents statutory and common law elements and legal explanations in a straightforward manner, while also presenting case law and helpful study questions. I appreciate the standout inserts that allow readers to update their knowledge, as well as the citations of websites, handy tables, charts, and sample forms sprinkled throughout the book.
Bringing it all together are Chapter 7, a model for cooperation between public and private law enforcement, and Chapter 8, a compilation of seminal case law. Nemeth has this to say about the roles of public policing and private security: "Factionalism is surely not a fixed state for either side of the policing model. What appears more likely on the horizon is the recognition that these are two armies operating under one flag."
I highly recommend this book for the classroom, the security practitioner seeking to know more about the law, and the lawyer representing a security provider as a client. This fifth edition is a monumental work, deserving of space in the libraries of students, lawyers, and security professionals.
Reviewer: Lydia R. Wilson, CPP, is an attorney admitted to practice law in Virginia, New York, and Florida. She is a member of the ASIS Information Asset Protection and Pre-Employment Screening Council.

As game makers around the world prepare for the 2019 Game Developers Conference kicking off in San Francisco next week, remember that there's a new GDC Main Stage marquee presentation on the opening day of the Main Conference that will be livestreamed on the official GDC Twitch channel for everyone to enjoy!
This inaugural GDC Main Stage presentation, The Developer's Journey, starts at 12:30 PM PDT in the Moscone Convention Center's West Hall next Wednesday, March 20th -- but get there (or tune in) early, because at 12:10 the pre-show starts, and it features a special Dreams performance!
The Developer's Journey will focus on finding inspiration over the course of a game's development cycle, from its earliest conception through its development, to dealing with the fallout from the release and the post-release content. After the presentation opens with a special musical performance generated in Media Molecule's upcoming creativity-fueled title Dreams. Media Molecule's Siobhan Reddy will break down how Dreams helps unlock players' creativity in unprecedented user-generated detail.
From there, Hello Games' Sean Murray will discuss how his small and unlikely team created one of the most ambitious and anticipated games of 2016, No Man's Sky. He'll then detail how by 2019, through determination and love, they built to record player numbers and sown positivity amongst their most negative detractors. This candid and open discussion will show the power of focusing on what you do, rather than what you say, in the face of adversity.
The hope is that this multi-speaker Main Stage presentation (open to all GDC Conference and Expo+ pass holders) will inspire attendees and offer practical insight into creative challenges and opportunities unique to the game development community.
For further details on the Main Stage presentation and all the other fantastic GDC 2019 talks, check out the GDC 2019 Session Scheduler. There you can begin to lay out your GDC 2019, which takes place next week (March 18th through the 22nd) at the (newly renovated!) Moscone Center in San Francisco!


Android users, any help? I've used Android for many years and this is the first I've come across this issue.. I'm using the Android HTC One m9.
Phone is plugged in. If I'm not doing anything, there is no issue, but even just being on facebook is too much. I get a message saying "cannot charge, phone is using too much power......".
I've closed every single app but two. I went into settings and closed processes that are not needed. Literally, the only things running are necessary. I'm using the power saver and my screen is dimmed to as low as it can go. Yet I'm still drawing too much power to charge? Data is turned off. Location is turned off. Wi-Fi is running between full service and one bar down. I'm in a basement, so actual phone service is only at 2 out of 5 bars. Sure I could just not use it. I want to facebook, without the battery draining while being plugged in.
I am using the HTC factory cable and wall plug.
Welcome to Android Central! Does the battery usage actually show rapid drainage? If not, it sounds like something is being incorrectly detected or reported in the system. What happens if you try a different USB cable and/or charging plug?

House Dems Lead Bipartisan Effort To End School Takeovers, Restore Local Control
Say takeovers have failed students, districts, Ohio
Posted May 01, 2019 by Minority Caucus
House Democrats today announced the House passage of House Bill (HB) 154, a bipartisan effort to end state takeovers of local schools and restore control to local education officials. The bill comes amid questions of accountability, transparency and lackluster results from district takeovers in Youngstown, Lorain and East Cleveland.
"State takeovers aren't working, and we owe it to our kids to get this right," said House Democratic Leader Emilia Strong Sykes (D-Akron). "Ending school takeovers is one of our caucus priorities, and this bipartisan effort stands as a testament to our ability to deliver results for Ohio taxpayers. Today is a real win for our state and it helps restore our promise to taxpayers that, at your Statehouse, we work for you."
HB 154 would dissolve existing Academic Distress Commissions, prevent the creation of new ones, and require local boards of education to establish improvement plans for low-performing schools, including adding more wraparound services like after-school enrichment and social and health services.
"Top-down, unaccountable school takeovers have failed to provide struggling schools with the support they need," said Rep. Joe Miller (D-Amherst), the bill's sponsor. "Today's vote is an important step in giving a voice back to our communities and ensuring that our children receive the quality education they deserve."
The school takeover law, which passed as an eleventh-hour amendment to HB 70 in 2015, has come under fire as unelected academic distress commissions headed by out-of-district CEOs have taken over duties of democratically-elected school board members in East Cleveland, Lorain and Youngstown, which critics say aren't working.
"Failed school takeovers have been bad for students, bad for districts and bad for Ohio," said Rep. Michele Lepore-Hagan (D-Youngstown). "We can't let students continue to fall behind. HB 154 is a collaborative, months-long effort to bring everyone to the table—parents, administrators and education officials—to restore local control and give districts a path forward to ensure every child receives a good education."
Under the current state takeover system, 10 more districts are in danger of being stripped of local control, including Ashtabula, Canton, Columbus, Dayton, Euclid, Lima, Mansfield, North College Hill, Painesville and Toledo.
"As the state representative who represents East Cleveland and its 181-year-old public high school, I believe that every Ohio child can change the world. Perhaps the next great Lordstown innovation is currently in a Youngstown classroom. Perhaps the solution to the Lake Erie algae crisis is a Lorain student. Perhaps the next great civil rights leader is walking down an East Cleveland school hallway," said Minority Whip Kent Smith (D-Euclid). "These kids, our kids, can do great things. But to help ensure their potential is fully realized, local voters and local school boards should be in control. Passing HB 154 today is good for East Cleveland and good for Ohio."
Democrats, led by Rep. Phillip M. Robinson (D-Solon), the lead Democrat on the House education panel that heard testimony on HB 154, held a series of meetings with school officials, administrators and education advocates throughout the legislative process.
"It was so critical for us to bring everyone to the table to get this right for our children. This bill is a victory for families and students by having local communities be proactive and at the center of addressing the education challenges that face their schools," said Rep. Phil Robinson. "This will give teachers and children the ability to succeed and restore Ohio's Promise that if you work hard, with the right support and equal opportunity, you can get ahead."
After receiving bipartisan support in the House, the bill moves to the Senate for further consideration.
Here is what other Democratic lawmakers are saying:
"As a career educator and former middle school science teacher in the Columbus City Schools, I am very pleased that the Ohio House of Representatives helped us keep our Promise to the 1.2 million children in Ohio and their families by passing Substitute House Bill 154 today," said Rep. Mary Lightbody (D-Westerville). "Keeping control of our school districts in the hands of local elected officials while continuing to improve the quality of our schools and helping prepare all our children for their futures is of utmost importance and a significant win for our schools."
"I applaud this bipartisan effort to overhaul the school takeover process. As elected officials, we have a responsibility to our constituents to reform the failed school takeover process and I believe that HB154 takes a big step toward that goal." –Rep. Richard Brown (D-Canal Winchester)
"Making sure that the control of our school districts in the hands of local elected officials is a significant win for our schools. We know that what is best for our children is being able to react quickly to their needs." –Rep. Randi Clites (D-Ravenna)
"Local school districts know what's best for their students and the community. HB 70 undermined their ability to provide a quality and equitable education to their students," said Rep. Erica C. Crawley (D-Columbus). "House Bill 154 is the first step on a long road to improving our state's education system. I am committed to working with the community and stakeholders to restore and maintain local control of schools."
"Educating our children is critical to our future. This bill returns control to communities to support our students." –Rep. Beth Liston (D-Dublin)
"We should be supporting teachers, para-professionals, aides, and all others working to make their students and schools successful, not behaving as if the legislature is the master educator of all school districts that are struggling. The real victims of school takeover legislation are the kids.
"School takeovers force administrators into making decisions that are unattainable for staff, students, and communities. If we plan to make change, we must be addressing failing schools through a school-level, holistic perspective, instead of painting a broad stroke and saying all schools and all children have the same needs. I believe real change will happen on a pupil-by-pupil basis, and by making changes that address barriers to success including increased recess time, bringing back the arts to school, providing healthier food choices, on-site laundry, housing stability, and more." –Rep. Janine Boyd (D-Cleveland Heights)
"Ending school takeovers is a vital step to give local communities the ability to take the necessary actions to work collaboratively to ensure our children receive a good public education. Supporting our children in their education journey can only take place when the state supports local communities versus working against local communities. House Bill 154 restores local control and provides a path forward for local communities to work with the State of Ohio to provide a good public education for Ohio's children." –Rep. Stephanie Howse (D-Cleveland)
"House Bill 154 is the first step in giving back our public school district a local voice. The State of Ohio needs to focus on equitable funding of our school district and developing policy that best support our local schools. That is how we keep Ohio's promise to our people." –Rep. Juanita Brent (D-Cleveland)
"CEOs and corporate special interests have no place in the classroom. I'm proud to have helped pass HB 154 before Toledo gets caught in the wake of these state takeovers." – Rep. Mike Sheehy (D-Toledo)
"Having been a school board member for 20 years as well as a trustee and then President of the Ohio School Boards Assn, I applaud the bipartisan decision today to return the accountability of our school districts' success back to the communities which they serve. We have much more work to do, but H. B. 154 allows us to move forward for Ohio's most vulnerable children. This is another 'Ohio Promise' kept." –Catherine Ingram (D-Cincinnati)
"Unlike the rushed process for HB 70, HB 154 actually helps our local schools, like TPS, get back on track to improve the educational experience for our children. Instead of the threat of a state takeover and an unchecked CEO, local communities will now be empowered and supported by the state to help struggling schools. Our actions today in the Statehouse live up to the Ohio promise." –Rep. Lisa Sobecki (D-Toledo)
"The last minute school takeover of the Youngstown School District was wrong from the beginning. I feel that school control should be in the hands of the elected school board members, as they continue the quality of education in their particular districts." –Rep. Mike O'Brien (D-Warren)


From being one of the first to respond to the Shoreham Airshow tragedy to rescuing an Alsatian stuck in a fence, Gavin Ross' thirty year career with the fire service has involved both 'traumatic' and 'uplifting' incidents.
But the Worthing resident said he has 'absolutely loved' his job as a firefighter as he retires from West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service, aged 52.
He said he was first drawn to the role by the excitement it promised.
"It's something out of the ordinary and not the nine to five, which appealed to me," he said.
Three decades later, he said it had been 'rewarding and fulfilling' career.
After a 'challenging' three months of training, Mr Ross spent the first 10 years of his career at Horley fire station and can still remember the 'poisonous, toxic smoke' he faced at his first fire at a research laboratory.
Over the years, he has been called to the scene of major events including the 1989 fire at Uppark and some more bizarre incidents, such as rescuing a grave digger who had become half buried in a grave in Littlehampton.
Crucial to the role is being a people person and Mr Ross has often had to tactfully deliver bad news, such as when a falling crane killed two people during construction work at Durrington High School in 2005.
But being a trusted figure at times of crisis brings huge rewards.
Recalling a collision in which a driver was left trapped in his van, Mr Ross said: "I was the first one at his window. He was ashen faced, but when I asked if he was OK – he said 'I am now you're here'.
In his retirement, Mr Ross said he would continue his links with the fire service as well as keeping active by playing beach volleyball and spending time with his children, aged 19 and 22.
But he will miss the team at Worthing, where he had been based for 20 years.
He said: "It's a bit gut-wrenching. The watch are such a great bunch, it's almost like a family.
"You spent two days and two nights kind of living together, we mess around and have a laugh.
"But then the bell drops and everyone gets serious.


If you happen to live near LA, here's your chance to tour the largest landfill in the country. Puente Hills Landfill is offering a tour of their landfill facilities, recycling facility, and water reclamation project (which is really amazing) to anyone interested. The tour is on OCT 25th and you can sign up here.
I was at the store today and my kids saw a Z bar, the junior version of the Clif Bars, and organic food bar that is pretty popular, and while a tad dry, pretty darn tasty to boot. I'm not a big fan of food bars to begin with, but Clif bars are a cut above inj my opinion as they are Organic and the company actually has their eye on sustainability. Simply put, they are a rockin company.
So my kids want a bar and they'd been good so i bought them for them. Now i had recalled something about Clif having a recycling program so now that kids are zonkered I looked them up, and sure enough, they have a program going with Terracycle that they helped replace.
Basically, get in touch with Terracycle via their website and they will send you 4 postage paid mailers. Fill them with 200 wrappers, send em off, and you're done. And if that's not cool enough, they will donate .02 to a charity or school of your choice for each wrapper you send in.
On top of that, Terracycle takes Yogurt cups, drink pouches (think capri sun juices), cookie wrappers, and corks.
And if that isn't cool enough, check out this video! These guys are in their 20s and have created a company that in their own words "makes a product out of garbage". They decided to start selling worm tea and even turned down a $1 Million prize to do things their own way.
* I was sent something in a USPS priority mailer (8x10 flat style) and the gentleman who sent it made sure to highlight the Cradle to Cradle certification on the side. Apparently the USPS has a cradle to cradle certification for their packaging which takes into mind the creation, use, and eventual disposal of the product. Pretty cool!
I was lucky enough to attend the Alternative Vehicle Expo in Santa Monica a few weeks ago and with the help of my good friend Charles shot a bunch of video, including some interviews with and shots of the new Chevy Volt, GMs production ready Plug In Electric Hybrid. I had grandiose visions of editing things nicely but it's just not happening so I'm cutting the stuff I shot into pieces and will be posting a few a day here. I figure alternative fuel vehicles don't exactly fit in with trash, but some of you may be interested.
I just got around to tallying the numbers for Oct 1st (I know a bit late as usual) and they seem to have stayed almost the same on many levels. I'm guessing that this is due to my scale and the fact that i have trimmed things down so significantly. On top of that, the stuff that's going down there is pretty light for the most part (again, the scale that only goes by .5 lb increments is partially to blame here). Amazingly, the paper actually dropped by 1.5 lbs which means that i have more going out (the worms) than coming in (junk mail is all but gone with a few pesky holdouts). Pretty cool.
I also spent about an hour cleaning the garbage in the basement (yes I know how psychotic that sounds) and thankfully found nothing more than the expected basement dwellers (small spiders, a few moving little guys I couldn't recognize) but nothing serious. It made me realize how allergic to dust i am, but that's got nothing to do with the trash. I will admit that i opened things/moved things with a tad bit of trepidation as I was totally afraid that I'd pull one box or move a tub and cockroaches would swarm out all over me. Thankfully, no such swarming.
I should add that the entire time I was down there, any noise that i made elicited a "what, what did you find" response from my wife upstairs as she was certain that i would find all sorts of things down there (although she'd never admit it). Once I realized it, I can't lie, i definitely threw a few "oh dear lords" out there just to get her going. Ahh, she's a saint, but ya need to keep your sense of humour about you when you're hoarding and ya need to keep it all clean.
I also closed out the second garbage box (I'll get a new one out of the dumpster up the street tomorrow) and started a third misc bin with a tub a friend gave me.
So i found that cool counter over on the right (if you're looking at the webiste that is) at, of all places, a site that is for AA and helps people keep track of their sobriety. I hope it's not disrespectful to use it, but i figured it links to them and I'm giving them credit for it. I actually saw it on the Cleanbin blog so thanks for the tip off.
That said, I'm not great with math so here's my question. It says 278 days have passed yet I'm on Day 277 today according to my calculations. Is this one of those "the twenty first century doesn't start until 2001" kind of things or did I miss a day somehow?


The Staffords are involved in renewable energy, energy-efficiency, and clean technology advocacy and development. They wanted their Tuscan/Italian-styled home to reflect those values while incorporating their love of music, cooking, and entertaining. The house was awarded a Five-Star-Plus Energy Star rating with an HERS Index of 44 (indicating it is 56% more energy efficient than a HERS reference home built to the 2006 International Energy Conservation Code).
Open floor plan for living, kitchen, and dining areas offers plenty of room for entertaining. The primary living areas are arranged to take advantage of daylighting and southern valley views. The garage is located to the west in order to protect living spaces from the summer western sun.
The home was constructed using 2x8 wood framing with Icynene wall insulation. Countertops in the offices and powder room were made of recycled paper; tiles made from recycled glass were used in the upstairs bathroom. Trex decking was utilized outdoors for its durability and low-maintenance.
Low-VOC paints and formaldehyde-free cabinetry improve indoor air quality by eliminating products that off-gas. The design takes advantage of open spaces between levels to facilitate heating and cooling circulation. Radiant heat floors add to the home's comfort and energy efficiency.
Energy Star windows, doors, and appliances helped the home achieve its HERS index of 44. The passive solar design took advantage of a south facing orientation, included low-e windows, and featured properly sized overhangs; light coves utilizing CFL and LED offer an efficient alternative for lighting. The indoor climate is designed to be maintained through an insulated concrete slab, ground source water heating and air cooling system, and operable windows and ceiling fans to facilitate ventilation. Dual-flush toilets were used to increase the home's water efficiency.


A Healthy Stepmother . . . and the pursuit of winning.
I've been a fan of the Oregon State Beavers since I entered the school as a freshman in 1978. This year, for the first time in over a hundred years, the football team has a winning record, 6-0. You can sense the struggle and heartache this team has been through and the Oregon State fans are some of the most die-hard fans you've every met, they keep showing up for their team even when they lose.
It's this winning season that caused me to reflect on all those years of losing and how winning and losing have a lot to do with the stepfamily experience.
Early in my re-marriage, there was a palpable tension that I didn't understand. As I observed what was going on, and sorted through the politics, it became apparent there was some fairly serious competition going on in our extended stepfamily.
I also noticed that in stepfamilies I knew, there was often one parent vying to be the winner. Sometimes, both parents fought for the winning spot in their child's attention. Other times, a stepparent edged into the competition. In other families, there was an all-out covert campaign, with regular one-upping. Or, more passively, one parent putting the other parent down in an effort to discredit them. There was even a parent who needed to be needed so badly she set up situations where she appeared as a winner.
I re-evaluated the place I held and engaged with my stepfamily for the umpteenth time. I re-evaluated my sense of needing to do or fix something or make things better. I emerged from the deep-dive committed to laying down my end of the tug-of-war which I wrote about in this blog post.
It turns out stepping away from the competition was the best thing I've done in this stepmother journey.
When I've suggested as much to a couple of friends, they responded, "but, ___ " and the list of complaints and worries went on, clearly they were tormented by the feelings they had inside. They weren't ready to end the tug-of-war, not yet.
There are apparently some stepfamilies where the parents in the two homes work together closely and there is not a competition. I take my hat off to them. If you can do that and it works and there isn't resentment from any of the parents, then bravo.
That is not the case in 90% of the stepfamilies I know. In most cases, a great outcome would be if the parents largely left each other to their own devices and didn't interfere with one another. Instead, we see competitions that focus on making sure the child shows loyalty and emotional attachment.
If you're in one of the 90% of stepfamilies I'm familiar with, you can gauge whether you're caught up in even a low-level competition by your responses to a few issues. If you find yourself stewing on what the kids' mother wore today and how awful it was, you're in competition. If you feel gleeful that you got to spend more time with the child, that's competition. If you feel angry when your way of doing something is criticized, "my mom doesn't do it like that," that's a pretty good sign you see yourself in competition.
It's a tough thing to let go of, this competition. While there are cases to be made for competition and I'm so glad my football team keeps getting up every day and playing the game, a stepfamily is not a game or a competition. A stepfamily is a haven, a healthy environment, and a resource for all the people who take shelter there.
I decided that I could let go of my competitiveness and comparisons and stay focused on that haven-healthy-resource future with my husband, a future that very, very often looks like we're not winning. From the outside, it often looks like we are losing. But we know we're not, we get up each day and give it our best, sometimes with good results and sometimes ho-hum results. Occasionally, something happens that confirms for me that this life is a process and even though it'll never be exact or fair or even or equal, it's a great life and we do indeed have a haven-healthy-resource thing going on.
I'm on board with my hubby and OSU Coach Riley. Neither one of them yells to inspire people. They go with and support and encourage. It works for them and it's working for me. My blood pressure is down (just kidding, I didn't have high blood pressure, it just felt like it) and my heart is at peace. I don't like everything I see and I can get riled up a bit from time to time. I've also been known to stick my nose in during an emergency and I stand by that and would do it again in a heartbeat. But, overall, we're moving in the right direction, toward a positive experience, a healthy environment, and a haven-resource for us all.
Just like my OSU football team, we've hung on to our vision of the future and we keep working toward it even on days when the pace is glacial and we wonder what it's all for. Then, we look up and find ourselves in the thick of this life we share with his kids.

Oh, my! I so needed this today!! Thank you!
My pleasure, Tonia. Frankly, I need it most days. I think each day as a stepmother requires is a pep talk to the soul to stay focused where it matters and take care of an often-aching heart. I'm glad you're here and thanks for commenting!
Amen it is not a game nor a competition. Thank goodness I am such a strong advocate for children because it helps me have the vision necessary to endure the uncomfortable. I have learned in my situation for me to be a good and true step mother and to protect my family unit this means personal sacrifice over and over again. As long as my relationship with my step child is in good healthy condition then I survive it all much better.

Motion Filed To Remove Unethical DA From Rayshard Brooks Shooting Case
Atlanta, GA – Attorneys for former Atlanta Police Officer Garrett Rolfe filed a motion on Monday to have the Fulton County district attorney taken off the Rayshard Brooks case.
"Paul Howard has systematically sought to deprive Garrett Rolfe of a fair trial and impartial jury since the day he announced his decision to arrest Garrett Rolfe," the motion filed on July 20 read, according to WSB.
"Because Paul Howard's statements to the public were ethically inappropriate, because Paul Howard will be a necessary witness in this case, and because Paul Howard is currently under criminal investigation by the GBI for his actions in this case, we move to recuse Paul Howard and the Fulton County District Attorney's Office from prosecuting the case against Garrett Rolfe," it read.
Fulton County District Attorney Paul Howard previously dismissed calls for an independent prosecutor and refused to step down from the case.
The shooting occurred after officers responded to a call for a sleeping motorist blocking the Wendy's drive-thru late on June 12.
Officers administered a field sobriety test and established probable cause to arrest Brooks, but when they went to put the suspect in handcuffs, the previously-calm man attacked them.
Brooks took Officer Brosnan's Taser from him, tased the officer, and then fled with the weapon in hand.
Officer Rolfe pursued Brooks on foot with his own Taser in hand, until Brooks turned back and fired his Taser at Officer Rolfe.
That's when Officer Rolfe dropped his Taser, drew his pistol, and fatally shot Brooks.
On June 17, Howard held a press conference to announce he was charging former Officer Rolfe with murder for the fatal shooting of Brooks after Brooks discharged Officer Brosnan's Taser at Officer Rolfe.
The district attorney also announced at his press conference on June 17 that Officer Brosnan was facing three felony charges.
But Howard bragged that Officer Brosnan had turned state's witness to testify against former Officer Rolfe and implied the Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI) had blessed the charges.
Neither was true.
Officer Brosnan's attorney quickly announced his client had not agreed to work with the prosecutor against his former fellow officer and the GBI released a statement that said they hadn't even completed their investigation into the incident.
Don Samuel, one of Officer Brosnan's attorneys, said that his client's actions that night had been "exemplary" and that the district attorney's office hadn't even bothered to take him up on the offer to review Officer Brosnan's medical records from after the incident.
"Devin ends up taking out his Taser and yelling at him to 'stop fighting, stop fighting,'" Samuel said. "Mr. Brooks grabbed the Taser from him and shoots… Devin gets shot with the Taser."
The officer's head hit the ground, giving him a concussion, according to his attorney.
In June, one of the attorneys for former Officer Rolfe accused the district attorney of behaving "unethically" and capitalizing on a series of national tragedies to help his re-election campaign.
"I've been prosecuting or defending Georgians in the criminal justice system for 25 years," attorney Noah Pines said in a lengthy statement posted to the official Facebook page of the Georgia Law Enforcement Organization.
"But never in my career have I seen a District Attorney act so unethically without regard for his professional obligations in pursuit of reelection," the statement said.
"Twice in the past few weeks Paul Howard has put his own ambitions ahead of the good of his constituents as he seeks to capitalize on a series of national tragedies," Pines said. "Under Georgia's Rule of Professional Conduct 3.8, Paul Howard is prohibited from making 'extrajudicial comments that have a substantial likelihood of heightening public condemnation of the accused.'"
"In fact, he is only permitted to inform the 'pubic of the nature and extent' of his actions 'that serve a legitimate law enforcement purpose,'" the attorney for former Officer Rolfe continued. "He has violated that rule today and also made blatant false statements. He has also acted rashly, before the official investigation has been completed by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI)."
The Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI) released a statement shortly after Howard announced the charges that said it had not yet concluded its investigation of the incident.
"Had Paul Howard waited for the GBI to complete its investigation he would have learned that while Rayshard Brooks' death was tragic, Officer Garrett Rolfe's actions were justified under Georgia law and that there is no legal basis to charge him with 11 felonies," Pines said in his statement.

HTC has long been known to offer quality handsets, even before the appearance of Android as a mobile ecosystem, yet in the last couple of years they have been struggling to gain back market share and pull themselves away from declining profit margins, and it may be linked to their ability to offer a premium device. Their hardship in making large sums of profit and shipping tons of devices excludes the last couple of quarters, where HTC has actually managed to see a minor rise in profits to the tune of $11 million in the most recent quarter, (Q1 of 2015) which can likely be most attributed to their low-end offerings for smartphones in emerging markets.
Emerging markets are a huge opportunity for growth but HTC isn't the only company offering low priced handsets in these areas, and companies like Xiaomi who come out with competitively priced devices are grabbing up large chunks of consumers which HTC is missing out on. HTC could probably combat this by coming out with their own devices to compete with Xiaomi's offerings, but HTC isn't interested. In a recent interview with the Wall Street Journal, HTC's CFO Chang Chia-lin stated that the company isn't interested in competing with companies like Xiaomi or driving focus on low-end devices, instead it wants to be "cool" and put the focus on those premium, top-tier smartphones.
It shouldn't be a surprise then with this kind of mindset that HTC is expecting their Q2 year-over-year profits to decline by as much as 29%. HTC just recently launched their flagship device for the year, the HTC One M9, and expecting a significant drop in revenue gains could very well suggest that HTC may be preparing for the device to offer much less success than they would have hoped. Despite what may be HTC's concerns for their high-end products bringing in less profit, HTC stands firm that brand image is more important than shipping large quantities of phones at a large scale because they "started as a high-end player" and want to remain as a company in this status. Some would argue though that this is exactly why HTC is failing.

The Jungle Giants is an Australian four-piece band that formed in 2011 in Brisbane, Queensland. The band consists of Sam Hales on Vocals/Guitar, Cesira Aitken on Lead Guitar, Andrew Dooris on Bass Guitar/Backing Vocals and Keelan Bijker - Drums/Trombone.
Their live show makes a bit more sense of their name. With their rhythmic layering and huge indie pop riffs, it's hard to imagine them performing under any other name.

Q: haskell list maximum by hand I do have the following problem:
I get an input (List of Integers) and I do want to output a triple (length of the list, sum of the list, and the maximum of the list).
I do have the following function:
lengthSumMax :: Num a => [a] -> (Int, a, a)
lengthSumMax [] = (0, 0, 0)
lengthSumMax x = (length x, sum x, maximum x) --maximum is just a place holder

I know that maximum is not working because I do not have Ord in this function. Is there a way with recursion that you can find the highest value of the list "by hand" without using Ord or a helper function?

A:
Is there a way with recursion that you can find the highest value of the list "by hand" without using Ord or a helper function?

The type of the items needs to be a member of the Ord typeclass to have a notion of what "the largest of two items" means: the Ord typeclass defines functions like >, <, etc. to determine what item is the largest. maximum works with Ord, otherwise it makes not much sense to retrieve the maximum value.
Doing this by recursion does not mean the Ord type constraint can be dropped. In fact we can implement maximum, but still we need a notion of what the largest value is. We can make use of a function, isLarger for example, that determines which of the two parameters is the largest items, or returns the largest item.
We can work with recursion here, and make a call for the tail of the list, and then update the items accordingly:
lengthSumMax :: (Num a, Ord a) => [a] -> (Int, a, a)
lengthSumMax [] = (0, 0, 0)
lengthSumMax (x:xs) = (…, …, …)
    where (l, s, m) = lengthSumMax xs
where you still need to fill in the … parts. For these you can use the first element of the list x, and the length l, sum s, and maximum m of the rest of the list. Note that your maximum will return 0 for a non-empty list, and thus will always be greater than or equal to zero.

There isn't a one-size-fits-all Household solution that works financially for every organization. This presentation will highlight the key Household Model financial drivers and discuss how an organization can navigate them to create a financially sustainable solution. While a particular Household solution doesn't work universally, all organizations can afford to implement a solution tailor made for them.
1. Participants will learn how to create a successful framework for the implementation of a Household Model conversion or construction project balancing the project disciplines of architecture, operations, culture, and finance.
2. Participants will learn how to evaluate what architectural, operational and cultural variables are integral to achieving success and how those variables can be defined to create a financially sustainable project.
3. Participants will learn how to compare the elements needed to create a successful project against the myths and mistakes that have plagued unsuccessful projects.
4. Participants will be able to understand how various architectural elements and designs affect a resident's quality of life and how the environment can serve as a way to reinforce home rather than institution.
