In October, the Foundation held a "socially distanced" pasta class at Pax Romana in White Plains.

NFL Star, Devin McCourty has been nominated to receive the Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year Award!

The archaeological excavations at the site known as "Roman villa of San Pedro del Arroyo" have started this year in late September. The company responsible for carrying them out, Archaeology Study FORAMEN, SL, as in previous years has a multidisciplinary team with specialists in different fields of Archaeology (epigraphy, numismatics, ceramics, glass ...), plus the scientific advice of Dr. Jose Antonio Alvarez Abásolo, Professor of Archaeology at the University of Valladolid.
As the project developed, Campaign VII, we've been working in an area of about 400m2 (4,305ft2), continuing from space excavated during the previous two phases. Once the east and west ends of the residential complex had been located, we had tried to complete the disposition and development of the house to the south, specifically trying to define the new corridor found and the room attached to it.
The results obtained in this campaign have revealed the existence of four rooms situated to the west of one of the corridors. Two of the rooms have a signinum pavement while the remaining two floors have mosaics floors with geometric patterns. We note the presence of an apse-shape at the end of one of the signinum rooms and one of the two rooms with mosaic presents two heights (indicated by a mosaic plinth).
The above mentioned mosaic floors have some irregularities and fractures due to both the presence of plant roots as well as the intrusion of plowshares. As in previous campaigns, consolidation work carried out during the excavation: applying mortar to prevent the falling of the tesserae, and therefore, degradation of the mosaic. We also have proceeded to put gauze with a solution of acrylic resin and acetone on some particularly sensitive areas.
Finally we want to notice, that in this phase, the excavation has shown the existence of a square structure made of hydraulic concrete. Although we cannot say categorically its function, it could be a pool or ritual pond based on its similarity to such structures found in other sites of this nature. The analysis and further study that is necessary to prepare the report of this campaign could shed more light on this aspect.


Years ago, I read this poem in Linda Dillow's book Calm My Anxious Heart.
I was retired but it was middle age that I wanted; the presence of mind without limitations.
The author of this poem, (a 14 year old boy!), has no idea how much his words have touched my heart over the years.
Lord, teach us to number our days, that we might gain a heart of wisdom. (Psalm 90:12) We do not know what tomorrow brings, but we have today to be thankful for and wholly present in.
I held back my tears when I read this. He gives us enough grace for each day; but, oh, the bitter-sweetness of seeing our parents age. Yesterday, my white-hair old father visited me. He was bent at his shoulders: a man I once though of as Atlas. I see him walk with a hitch in his gait, and choose not to ascend the stairs. I want to rush upon him and baby him, but instead, I look him in the face and do not comment. I want to turn back time and see the strong Daddy I once had: the one who carried me on his shoulders.

This is a particularly important election year in the Holland area, with our local congressional seat up for grabs for the first time in 18 years and incumbents leaving office in one state House and two state Senate districta. And while we've seen little or no competition in city, township and school board elections lately, there are crowded fields in several races, at least in the Republican primary, where decisions are effectively made in this heavily GOP area — seven in the 2nd Congressional District, four in Ottawa County's 30th Senate District and eight in the 89th House District covering Holland's north side.
For political junkies, there are many angles to watch. Will U.S. Rep. Pete Hoekstra become the first Holland area resident elected governor of Michigan? Will the Tea Party movement play a significant role in the Republican primaries and will it coalesce behind particular candidates? Will voters in the congressional race turn to familiar names such as state Sen. Wayne Kuipers or former state Rep. Bill Huizenga, or will anti-incumbent sentiment favor someone like ex-footballer Jay Riemersma, who seeks to claim the "outsider" mantle? Could Ottawa and Allegan county residents divide their vote among the three local congressional candidates and open the door for a lesser-known hopeful from the northern part of the district?
Those are all questions the armchair political analysts will debate, but the real task, of course, is for voters to decide who will best represent their interests and help Michigan and the United States navigate through perilous times. With a weak economy, growing deficits, terrorist threats and deep divisions on issues such as health care, Social Security and immigration, we need representatives willing to think outside the box, to dispense with tired partisan political formulas and do what's best for our country and our state — even if it means sacrifice for us and political backlash for them.
When candidates ask for your vote, we would urge you to keep a few ideas in mind:
• Demand specifics. When candidates say they'll cut spending, ask them to identify specific programs. As we mentioned in this space Thursday, once you eliminate Social Security, Medicare, defense spending and interest on the debt, the remaining federal programs make up less than a third of federal spending. We're in so deep in terms of deficits now that we have to cut more than just "waste." If candidates promise to repeal the health care reform law, ask if they mean the whole thing or just certain parts. And how likely is that to happen with President Obama still in office?
• Reject negative campaigning. Candidates turn to personal attacks and mudslinging not because they enjoy it (well, maybe some do) but because they think it works. It's up to us to tell candidates who go negative — or allow their proxies to do so — that we will take our votes elsewhere.
• Consider candidates' records in context. Republican rival Mike Cox is already bashing Hoekstra for supporting the bailout bill in late 2008, and other candidates are likely to attack former state legislators for votes cast to raise taxes in the past. It's easy for candidates such as Cox to make such charges when they've never served in Congress or the Legislature; they've never had to deal with the prospect of a financial collapse and a looming depression or had the responsibility of avoiding a state government shutdown. Compromise is unavoidable for a legislator — look at the totality of his or her record.
• Be wary of candidates who make sweeping pledges. Governing is too complex to say you'll "never" do something. Anyone who says he'll never raise taxes or never support a bailout is either a liar or a fool.
The three months between now and the August primary should give voters plenty of time to get to know the candidates better. They're not all alike, even the ones within the same party. It's our responsibility as citizens to do our homework so we can cast an informed vote, and the time to start is now.

Couldn't find it, so I'll start another one.
Finally broke down and bought Match Point in the VERY cheap bin at Walmart. Woody Allen is a genius, and his writing keeps getting better. I don't laugh uncontrollably out loud that much, but their is one scene ending, one shot, that I lost it. Unbelievable. Great film, highly recommended.
So, I'm a "Sr Member", huh? In June it's SENIOR DISCOUNT TIME!!!

Re: Now watching...
i recently picked up ocean's 11, 12 and 13. 11 and 13 are very cool and quite slick. 12 is a tad sluggish and slow. however, czj adds tremendous pizazz to any movie she graces so it's ok.
i really dig the series in general. lots of fun to watch.

Watched "The Blues Brothers" last night.
Over the weekend...
Missing and The Wedding Singer and found a copy of Fantasia at a flea market for $10, made in the USA for China in 2007.

I just went on a binge of buying TV series on DVD and picked up...
IT Crowd season 2
Extras seasons 1 & 2
Curb Your Enthusiasm season 6
Arrested Development season 1
Eastbound & Down season 1
That should keep us busy for awhile.

"Calm seas do not create good mariners."
Watched "Blindness" last night. Not at all what I was expecting - Julianne Moore is fantastic (as always) in a very creepy, very unpleasant film. (Stop here if you don't want to know too much...) It starts as a tale of what happens when people start inexplicably going blind, and get quarantined by the powers that be. It morphs into a "Lord of the Flies"-like tale of survival, and explores what people will do when they answer to nobody, and what others will do to survive when they have no choice...
In the vein of the excellent "Children of Men" (or "I Am Legend"), but not nearly as good - still worth a viewing if you like post-apocalyptic tales and aren't put off by some unpleasantness...
I wish I was a Glowworm; a Glowworm's never glum. 'Cause how can you be grumpy, when the sun shines out your bum?

Watched Phonebooth again. It's not often you get a whole film set in one place. I think it's very well written to keep attention for that long in one setting.

cake or death? cake please.
Dave - Arrested Development is one of my all time favorite tv shows - you'll be buying seasons 2 and 3 (only a half season) very quickly. It's one you can watch over and over as the jokes tend to be hinted at episodes before they happen and then called back over and over again in subtle ways. Brilliant - utterly brilliant show.
We picked up Weeds on sale at Best Buy - all four seasons for $14.99 each. For a show that's supposed to be brilliant - neither of use are "getting it" yet. Listed as a Comedy - Drama... why do they always put Comedy in front of Drama in descriptions when a show is almost 99% drama and just a minor hint of comedy... Unless it's coming later? Not sure if we'll keep season 2, 3, and 4... we'll see after we get into a few more episodes. Acting and writing are good - it's just depressing... maybe we're just not in the right mood???

Torchwood - Children of Earth. Wow, this was actually a really good miniseries and was very surprised/shocked at the end but kind of understand maybe some need for atonement from Capt. Jack Harkness. Still it was very very good. And Eve Myles is always pleasant on the eyes ;-)
Doctor Who's Planet of the Dead was *ok* compared (but only 75 mins/1 night vs 5 nights) and one good thing was it had Michelle Ryan (aka Bionic Woman (thought she looked hotter on that show though)).
Now wondering if Torchwood is going to come back for another season seeing what happened in the last season and this miniseries.

T w i n P e a k s - We just bought the Gold Box dvd's which have the pilot and both seasons (we previously had the 1st season they released back in 2001... which didn't have the pilot...). Wow - once again reminded what a brilliant series Twin Peaks was... the mood, the music, the lingering shots, the quirkiness, the coffee... good acting (and some fun campy bad acting)...
Lord of the Rings ... in 20 minute increments... - on my lunch hours for several weeks now I've been watching the extended LOTR discs... Yes - it's humorous to be watching in 15 to 20 minute chunks every day. The battle of Helm's Deep just started. Since I have Friday afternoon's off from work - I do get a bit of extra watching time today!
The Donna Reed Show season 2 - just bought this set and Heidi and I love (love love love) old tv shows.
Matlock season 2 - I love mystery tv. Columbo and Murder She Wrote spin frequently every weekend (we love our "mystery sunday's..." - and I've always enjoyed Matlock. Season 1 wasn't so hot for Matlock - it started to gel from season 2 onwards.
Donna Reed, oh my, she is such a babe. Between her, Diana Rigg and Gene Tierney, wow!
We've been on trilogy marathons this week. We did the Bourne trilogy first half of the week, now we're on The Pirates of the Caribbean.
We couldn't remember much of the Bourne stuff. There was one funny part in an extra. I watched the New York car chase on the third flick, and during one of the wrecks, I had to stop and rewind a few times. There is a ruler-on-a-table used in the background during the crashes. We're watching the last of the POTC movies tonight. Watched the second one last night (Dead Man's Chest). I didn't care too much for it the first time I saw it, but the second time through was great.
Donna Reed. Damn.
oh yeah....Saturday night...Judas Priest in St. Augustine!
Diana Rigg... oddly enough - we were looking at TMZ.com this morning at the "memba them?" section and she popped up - a shot of her in her Emma Peel days with a shot from a couple years ago. (yes we sometimes do goofy internet browsing over breakfast! check the weather, what's the special of day on QVC, I look at tvshowsondvd.com...)
I love the Avengers - Heid bought me the Emma Peel Mega-Set dvd box for my birthday the first year we had a DVD player. It was huge... 16 full sized dvd cases in a big yellow and orange box... (I've since eliminated 90% of my dvd cases instead opting to put them all in media holders...). The re-release of the Emma Peel set is in slimline cases and includes a bonus disc I didn't get.
At least companies finally started figuring out they didn't need to put everything in big huge plastic cases!
been watching star trek:tng, seasons 5, 6 & 7. i love this series. overall, i think it is the best of the treks although i have not seen much voyager.
Scott M2
I think they spread shows over more discs than required (HBO, Showcase...)
to justify a higher price. A 13 episode season could fit on 3 or 4 discs max
and not 5 or 6. Then you add fat packaging that makes it look bigger.
The new Buffy/Angel re-releases are super slim and won't take up a whole shelf.
Nice - but I already have the old ones.

Saw District 9 Thursday at a screening sponsored by aintitcool.com and was blown away...one of the most intense, provocative and disturbing movies I've seen in many many years. It's a very cynical, but IMO right on, evaluation of how we treat those who are different from us. The political and social allegories are contained within a well-made suspenseful "action" movie although this is much more intelligent and non-cliche than 99.9 percent of action movies, esp. SF ones. Several gut-wrenching scenes that almost reduced me to sobs. The movie also features one of the most complex lead characters - a person who doesn't have a simple "bad guy to good guy" arc, but is much more fleshed out. It's a very depressing film and even though some folks laughed at some scenes, I think there is only one scene that inspires laughter, and I'll bet Peter Jackson had a hand in it as it resembles the humor from his films such as Bad Taste, Dead-Alive, and Meet the Feebles. But other than that one "laugh" this is a grim and disheartening film, although bloody brilliant and, in a certain way, entertaining at times. Definitely not for the squeamish, esp. if Cronenberg's The Fly made you queasy. Extremely violent, both physically and emotionally. The final shot in the film just tears you apart - it is so tenderly poignant yet so horrifically tragic.
I wouldn't be suprised if we could do a Star Trek thread here. Anyway...
I love the original, and really liked Voyager (my wife and I plan on getting the entire series for Christmas), but NG never did it for me. The movies are great, but the series was lame. Wesley Crusher REALLY got on my nerves, as did Data. I can only watch so much of a robot saying things like "What does it mean to feel?" before it begins to grate down my spine. Captain Picard is a wimp compared to Kirk or even Janeway. Always sending someone else on the away team. (Away team, how creative. "Number two, go away!") Riker has the personality of a paper towel (albeit, a good director). There was one show where Dianna Troy and her mother (the season's write in for Majel Barrett) were talking via telepathy and the scene actually consisted of the two women looking at each other and voice overs added later. Awful. And there was this blonde security chick in the begining that seemed like a Fascist-anti-drug-bimbo that really turned me off. John de Lancie is a nice guy, though. Met him once at this Tallahassee Star Trek Convention in the basement of the Holiday Inn. I was tempted to ask him if Patrick Stewart was gay, but I had a feeling that the 50 or so Trekies present would have gotten really pissed at me.
so wayne, quit being evasive. how do you really feel about tng?


These athletes, coaches, and yogis are a middle finger to the oppressively homogenous wellness world.
Here's some healthy skepticism about Keto, colonics, charcoal, and more.
Experts are increasingly calling out "superfoods" like kale, almonds, and blueberries for what they really are—something between wishful thinking and really effective marketing.

I am getting anywhere from 1-10% packet loss receive/transmit and I'm not sure if it's the hardware or if it's within specs for expected loss. (if this is expected... I feel bad about the future of quality wireless).
I have next to no nearby wireless networks to interfere with this unit (3 other units within the same commercial building, blocked by cinder-block walls + brick/drywall with metal studs.
I receive this level of loss both in the installed location (in the ceiling) and on a flat surface with 3 feet between the unit and the laptop. I have reduced the transmit strength by -2db, it seems to help a little (only a little). I have also reduced the transmit from 40 to 20 data width, which also helped a little, I was having up to 30% packet loss, this is with 3 passive connections and 1 active connection.
One final note, I am using a non-ruckus poe gigabit injector, haven't seen any issues with it but thought I would note it.
Any ideas what I can do to further improve this connection or troubleshoot it? Thanks in advice with apologies for the length of this post.
I have done some troubleshooting with inSIDDer and have managed to improved the numbers, however I'm still having some minor issues with low power units so if anyone could make some suggestions as to other hardware/software and the best approach to use while attacking this issue.
Also, if someone could link to source indicating how to detect a bad Ruckus AP or share their personal experiences, that would be great.

Embroidered patches on Velcro or hook and loop are pretty popular. Jackets, hats, bags and other gear are available with spots ready to just 'slap' a patch on.
I am sure I could go to anyone of a number of suppliers and have a NC EMT patch custom made.
Is it possible NCAREMS might offer these any time in the near future?

My story, A Time & a Place, is a prequel short for the M.A.G.U.S. Chronicles. I will be releasing the first of the series, Threadreader, early 2019.
Tianna is a Timesinker, a fae-blood magecrafter with the ability to travel through time. Her journey begins when she is caught in the cross-fire of a battle between magecrafters, but it doesn't end until she learns how easy it is for a timesinker to cause both the beginning... and the end. The enemy crosses her timeline more than once, but can she be on the winning side every time?
Grab this anthology to get a great assortment of stories, and to get your taste of the M.A.G.U.S. Chronicles!


You are at Home Why should one try out the Artificial Grass Installation?
It's quite common to find people trying different ways of decorating their house.

Even the people who are visiting the house can feel those positive vibes which might be existing in your house. For doing that, it will require you to decorate the house with proper items.
There are large numbers of natural things available which you can use in your house. Still, these natural items are having the limitation of a lifetime for which they can stay in healthy condition. Due to that, people started using artificial items which can improve the overall looks of their homes for a longer period of time. Even there are many other features due to which artificial things are getting used on a large scale.
The grass around homes is an amazing way of keeping the house environment healthy. It makes people feel like living under nature in a healthy environment. We have discussed here a few of the common reasons why people should try Artificial Grass Installation.

The five candidates running for the two open seats on the La Mesa City Council faced the public in a forum sponsored by the La Mesa Chamber of Commerce Thursday evening. During the scheduled hour and a half exchange, candidates were asked questions ranging a variety of issues ranging from from the city's finances to the homeless population.
With the city currently facing a $31 million unfunded employee pension, the candidates were asked if the unfunded pension should continue being paid and, if so, where the funds would come from. La Mesa city councilwoman Ruth Sterling, who is running for reelection, said the city has been paying $500,000 a year toward fund liability and believes the city should continue meeting that obligation.
She added that payments had come from the city's general revenues which had been saved for that purpose. The city needs to continue exploring opportunities for consolidating public safety as a means of saving money, Sterling said. Patrick Dean, who is running for the open seat on the council said he was confident the city's finance department could handle the city's pension funding. "I cannot solve that problem myself," said Dean.
"There is a good team in place in the City Manager's finance department; They are working to solve that problem and Gov. Brown is working on pension reforms," he said. Candidate Laura Lothian wants to make reducing our unfunded pension liability the number one priority. Lothian said she would reduce the pension liability by raising more city revenues. She believes this can be done by filling our 450,000-sq. ft. of retail, industrial and office space with businesses that are a good fit for La Mesa, she stated in campaign material. She also believes that "privatizing" certain city services would help cut costs and provide more funds for paying the pensions.
"We waste $2.5 million annually on just interest payments," she said. Shannon O'Dunn said La Mesa has dedicated employees who are "part and parcel" of what the city is today. She agrees that the unfunded pension should be paid but does not advocate privatizing city services. "We need to keep work in house," she said. Kristine Alessio said slashing pensions is not the answer to the pension debt La Mesa faces. She believes that outsourcing city services works in circumstances where there is no in-house talent for specialized services.
The next public forum will be hosted by the League of Women Voters at 7 p.m. Thursday Sept. 27 at City Hall. The La Mesa First United Methodist Church will hold its candidate forum at 6:30 p.m. on Oct. l7. The church is located at 4690 Palm St.

Talk Homework: What are the countries in the United Kingdom and what are their capital cities?
Wow what a week we have had. On Monday morning, we went to church to celebrate The Harvest Festival. We showed everybody our artwork. We have created a tonal range as a background to our picture, by mixing our own colours. Then we produced our own version of a picture using our collage skills and different materials. To finish our pictures we went outside to collect some leaves and added them to our collage. In English, we have continued to read The Princess and the White Bear King. The children wrote some excellent diary entries describing how the princess felt when she climbed the glass mountain. In maths we have practised counting in 3s, looked at equivalent number sentences e.g. 2+4=3+3 and observed similar digits e.g. 4+5=9 40+50=90.

SpaceX Falcon 9 Rocket Landing a Major Milestone in Space Travel - Elon Musk made history by landing SpaceX's most powerful Falcon 9 rocket back in an upright position, a major milestone in the drive to cut costs and waste by making rockets as reusable as airplanes.
The Falcon 9 made a graceful arc back to Earth and touched down upright at Cape Canaveral, Florida, minutes after launching a payload of satellites to orbit.
The video images on SpaceX's live webcast demonstrated the tall, white portion of the rocket - known as the first stage - appearing to settle down firmly and stick the landing.
The Falcon 9 rocket reached a height of 125 miles before heading back to earth and touching down at a former US Air Force rocket and missile testing range that was last used in 1978.
The video images were cut off within seconds of the landing, and the SpaceX live webcast returned to its commentators, who described the successful deployment of the payload of 11 satellites for ORBCOMM, a global communications company.
SpaceX has a $1.6 billion contract with NASA to supply the astronauts living at the International Space Station (ISS) over numerous back-and-forth trips with its Dragon cargo ship.
A powerful explosion six months ago, which was caused by a faulty strut, destroyed the Falcon 9 about two minutes after launch, along with hundreds of millions of dollars in equipment and cargo bound for the ISS.
Musk said the company fixed that problem and also made the newest version of the Falcon 9 about 30 percent more powerful than previous iterations.

Ako Bicol Rep. Batocabe's widow says no decision yet whether or not to run as Daraga mayor
Gertie Duran-Batocabe, widow of slain Ako Bicol Rep. Rodel Batocabe, clarified that she has not made any decision yet whether or not to run as Daraga mayor, substituting for her husband.
Reports earlier said that President Rodrigo Duterte asked Gertie to substitute for the slain solon for his candidacy as mayor of Daraga.
However, Gertie said that that conversation was a "small part" of the things she discussed with the president.
"This was just a small part of the many things the president and I talked about during the meeting. This was not even in my agenda," Gertie said.
"Yesterday, I was telling the media, in answer to the recent news stating that my husband daw cannot be substituted. How can that be when 'no less than the president asked me to take his place'," she added.
Gertie said that to decide for the substitution is something that shouldn't be rushed.
"To say this is a difficult decision is an understatement. It is not something that has to be rushed and will need a clearer head and rested heart (at least)," she said.
She said that her focus right now is to bury her husband and to bring justice for his assassination.
"For now, all that I am focused on is to bury my husband with dignity and honor in the manner that he has lived his life. Then, to get justice which unfortunately is slipping futher every second," she said.
The Ako Bicol solon and his aide were ambushed in Daraga last Saturday after attending a gift giving activity for senior citizens and PWDs.
Rep. Batocabe was serving his last term as party list representatives. He was vying for Daraga mayor prior to his death.

Spain's Prime Minister, Pedro Sanchez, on Sunday defended his government's controversial decision to go ahead with the delivery of 400 laser-guided bombs to Saudi Arabia, saying it was needed to preserve good ties with the Gulf state.
His Socialist government announced earlier this month that it would block the delivery of the weapons amid concerns that they "could harm" civilians in Yemen where Saudi Arabia is leading a brutal aggression.
But on Thursday Foreign Minister Josep Borrell announced the government had decided to deliver the weapons after all, angering humanitarian groups.
Cancellation of the deal would jeopardize a much larger order for five Corvette warships worth 1.8 billion euros, to be built by Spain's Navantia shipyard in the southern region of Andalusia, with thousands of jobs at stake.
Workers in the region, a stronghold of the ruling Socialist Party, had staged demonstrations pressing for the deal to go ahead.
Asked about the policy reversal during an interview with private television La Sexta, Sanchez said his government risked "creating the image that it was revising its entire relationship" with Saudi Arabia if it did not deliver the weapons.
"The situation was very complicated. The dilemma the government faced was breaking its commercial, economic and political ties with Saudi Arabia, with the impact this could have in some areas of the country, such as the Bay of Cadiz, or carry out a contract signed by the previous government," he added.

Siegel High expansion plan approved

Siegel High will gain a 10-classroom expansion by next school year to better serve a campus that depends on 10 portable classrooms, district officials decided Wednesday night.
The Rutherford County Board of Education agreed to award a contract that's nearly $5.1 million at this time to R.G. Anderson and Company. School officials determined the firm offered the lowest and best bid out of six competing for a project that will add 21,672 square feet on the south side of a campus that currently has 297,000 square feet.
The contract is within the $5.2 million funding for the project from the County Commission. The board that includes Jim Estes, however, hopes to increase the contract by $1.5 million, so Siegel High will also gain a lecture hall, art room and science lab in a 7,708-square-foot section on the west side of the building near the courtyard.
"We need to add the $1.5 million back in and to go ahead and do that work now," said Estes, who persuaded a unanimous board to request the additional funding from the County Commission. "We can have it all done at one time and be through with that school."
Siegel High serves 1,809 students on the north side of Murfreesboro, and Estes noted how this is one of the high schools lacking a lecture hall.
"From what I've seen, lecture rooms are used quite often, usually daily in these high schools," said Estes, who's part of a board with a current five-year building plan that's estimated to cost more than $400 million.
Blackman High and Stewarts Creek High have lecture halls
Siegel High opened in 2003. Since then, the board has built lecture halls at Blackman High on the city's west side and at Stewarts Creek High, which opened in 2013 in southwest Smyrna using the design of Siegel High but in a bigger building. The design will also be used for a Rockvale High scheduled to open in 2019 in a rural community southwest of Murfreesboro.
Schools Director Don Odom told his board he thought it was possible for the County Commission to include the $1.5 million in borrowing to pay for the project at a time that construction costs are rising.
Board member Wayne Blair agreed the lecture hall, art room and science lab should be a part of the overall expansion.
"I'm afraid if we don't complete this at this time, the opportunity to do this may not come," Blair said.
Board member Aaron Holladay agreed.
"It's important to lock in this contract with R.G. Anderson, as it has been bid," said Holladay, who noted how construction material costs will be increasing because of the hurricanes that hit Texas and Florida. "They just about doubled in price in the past two weeks."
Siegel High courtyard will be safer
The $5.1 million contract approved at this time includes funding the 10-classroom addition for more than $4.4 million.
The appropriation also will provide $290,000 to build an enclosed corridor by the courtyard to increase security for the campus at the request of Siegel High Principal Larry Creasy.
"That's been my biggest concern since I got here," said Creasy, who accepted his position in 2014 at a campus with a courtyard that has outdoor access to one side if an outdoor gate is left open. "That area has been wide open."
The courtyard at Stewarts Creek High is enclosed by the building.
Creasy also noted how the classroom addition will enable Siegel High's mechatronics instruction to have two rooms instead of one.
Funding from the commission will also provide $362,000 to install horizontal metal panels that will cover up an insulation system in the gym.
The installation system absorbs moisture, and that causes problems for the building, said Gary Clardy, the assistant superintendent of engineering and construction for the district.

Zero was created in 1997, the product of a two-hectare Aglianico vineyard in Acqua di Costanza, in the municipality of Torchiara. This part of the Alto Cilento shows the influence of the Tyrrhenian and the very sunny climate.
The wine is made beginning with partially dried grapes, with spontaneous fermentation, and is aged in wood.
The name Tempa di Zoè refers not only to a physical place; it is, above all, a declaration of intent. "Tempa" is the word for the rolling hills of Cilento that stretch down to the sea from north to south.
Zoè is the Greek word for the essence of life, the universal principle common to the animal, vegetable and mineral worlds.

The Mayor of Letterkenny, Cllr. Dessie Larkin has described the members of Donegal's All Ireland winning team as an inspiration to the young people of the county.
Last night, Letterkenny Town Council afforded the Donegal GAA team a Civic Reception in honour of last year's success at Ulster and All Ireland level.
And leading the tributes to the players, team management and backroom staff, Mayor Larkin said they were a credit to their clubs, their parishes and their towns.
Five members of the senior panel - Rory Kavanagh, Kevin Rafferty, Frank McGlynn, Gary McFadden and Neil Gallagher were present at Wednesday night's event in the Public Services Centre in Letterkenny. They were joined by a number of members of the Donetgal Co. Board, among them, chairman, Sean Dunnion, who thanked the council for recognising the achievements of everyone involved in last year's success.
"2012 was a tremendous year and it has already been said time and again, how proud we are of the team. The effort, dedication and sacrifices that were made was incredible and the players deserve the success they had," he said.
Other speakers on the night included the County Manager, Seamus Neely and Rory Kavanagh who said while the last few months had been hectic for everyone in the panel, the reception the players had received from clubs and supporters was brilliant.

straight outta mongolia
Mongolian pride, speed metal, Gengis Khan all get together in Ulan Bataar's hard-rockin' band Hurd and their CD I was Born in Mongolia were in New York Times yesterday, and seen at China Digital News.
China built the Great Wall more than 2,000 years ago to keep out invaders from the north. But the Chinese are having a harder time repulsing modern interlopers like these: long-haired Mongolian men in black, whose office décor features a wolf pelt, a portrait of Genghis Khan and a music store poster of Eminem.
So the Chinese police got nervous when they heard that Hurd was crossing the Gobi Desert, coming down from Mongolia, 600 miles to the north. With their new hit CD, "I Was Born in Mongolia," Hurd, a heavy metal, Mongolian-pride group, was coming for a three-day tour, culminating Nov. 1 with a performance in Hohhot, capital of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region.
"The morning we were to get on the train, the translator guy called and said 'Your performances are cancelled,' " Damba Ganbayar, Hurd's keyboardist and producer, said glumly as he lounged in a white plastic chair. "He said, 'I will call with details.' I never got the details."

If you manage the editorial process for your organization, sooner or later you'll discover one of the facts of writing life: everyone has their own ideas about what makes up good grammar or style. If you submit copy to three different people for approval, it may come back with three different alterations. If your staff hands in writing assignments, you've probably found yourself editing the work for consistency.
The English language is evolving and so grammar rules are constantly changing. Is it appendixes or appendices? Should you use capitalization and periods in bulleted/numbered lists? Do you use open or closed punctuation? And do the same rules apply no matter what you're writing?
2. Even the most comprehensive book cannot cover every situation that editors face. A style sheet can define your organization's"house style" and serve as an easy reference tool in addition to or in place of a stylebook.
In many companies, different departments are responsible for specific projects, e.g., marketing does the newsletter, business development writes proposals, and technical support prepares product documentation and manuals. These departments can get together and create a "house" style sheet for specific words, especially those pertaining to the business. Senior executives may not wish to be part of this process, but at least you'll be able to send the document on to them with several of the problems already resolved.
Some style sheet formats involve dividing one or two sheets of paper into sections and assigning two or more letters of the alphabet to each section. Others, like this example from The Independent magazine, use alphabetized lists. You can also include general rules concerning numbers, punctuation and formatting.
If you use outside writers, give them a copy of your style sheet so that they know your requirements.
3. Consistency of style applies to graphic elements as well. Create an identity manual that sets rules for logo configurations and establishes the official color palette. That way, your organization's visual identity won't disintegrate into a confusing jumble of images.
So take time out of your busy schedule to decide whether it's USA or U.S.A. In the long run, it may help you leave the office earlier.

Pope names left-wing Archbishop Cupich to key role in picking future U.S. bishops
Cupich is a prominent 'progressive' who has frequently clashed with life and family advocates.

July 7, 2016 (LifeSiteNews) – Pope Francis has named Chicago Archbishop Blase Cupich to serve as a member of the Congregation for Bishops, the Vatican office that recommends to the Pope candidates to be appointed bishops. The move has alarmed traditional-minded Catholics since Cupich has shown himself to be an extremely liberal bishop.
In this role, Cupich will now exercise one of the most prominent roles in deciding who to appoint as new bishops in the United States. Cupich is said to have been hand-picked by Pope Francis for his prominent position as Archbishop of Chicago.
Cupich will join Washington, D.C.'s Cardinal Donald Wuerl, who Pope Francis named to the congregation in December 2013 while at the same time removing Cardinal Raymond Burke. Burke had been credited with influencing several strong appointments to U.S. sees in the latter years of Pope Benedict XVI's pontificate.
The news of Cupich's appointment has been met with consternation by many U.S. Catholics because Cupich is a prominent "progressive" who has earned frequent criticism for his actions on issues such as life and family.
When he was the bishop of Spokane, Washington, Cupich requested that priests and seminarians of his diocese not participate in 40 Days for Life prayer vigils outside abortion facilities.
In August 2015, in the wake of the Center for Medical Progress videos exposing Planned Parenthood's baby body parts trafficking scandal, Cupich wrote that unemployment and hunger are just as appalling as killing children in the womb.
Cupich has openly contradicted Catholic canon law on giving Holy Communion to those in a state of mortal sin. Shortly after his appointment as Archbishop of Chicago, Cupich said that giving Holy Communion to pro-abortion politicians can be a good thing. Canon 915 of the Code of Canon Law instructs those "conscious of grave sin" on their soul to refrain from receiving Holy Communion.
At the 2015 Synod on the Family, Cupich said that it is permissible for same-sex couples and the divorced and remarried to receive Holy Communion in accordance with their consciences.
According to the Catechism of the Catholic Church, proper consciences are formed according to the teachings of the Church. "Conscience can remain in ignorance or make erroneous judgements. Such ignorance and errors are not always free of guilt," the Catechism teaches (CCC 1801).
Cupich's comments on the matter caused such a stir that another Illinois bishop, Bishop Thomas Paprocki of Springfield, issued a public statement clarifying the Church's teaching.
Cupich praised Pope Francis's exhortation Amoris Laetitia as a "game-changer" that could normalize his unorthodox approach to those living in situations the Church labels objectively sinful.
In 2002, when he was the Bishop of Rapid City, South Dakota, Cupich locked the doors of a Catholic parish during the Easter Triduum, one of the holiest points of the Catholic liturgical year, in order to prevent Traditional Latin Masses from taking place. The church was forced to hold its Good Friday liturgies on the sidewalk.

It appears that the search market is alive and well. ComScore released the findings from their report showing the worldwide search activity in August of 2007. Google is still the worldwide leader with over 60% of the market share. It is interesting to note that Youtube searches (5 billion) account for a little over 13% of all Google searches. Yahoo comes in at a distant second while Chinese search engine, Baidu comes in third place. Microsoft continues to hold a minor presence in the search market in fourth place.
We should note that this data does not include searches conducted on public computers or mobile devices. This would indicate that there are actually even more people performing searches on the internet. As mobile device and wireless technologies continue to become more prevalent, the number of searches performed will continue to grow. A couple of interesting notes include the fact that the Asia-Pacific market has the highest search volume of all regions, while the Latin America region having the smallest internet population has the most searches per searcher. If these markets continue to grow at their current rates, they could open some great international search marketing opportunities.
To put this all in perspective, let's take a look at the average number of searches in a little shorter time period. Breaking down the number of worldwide searches conducted in August of 2007, you can see that the average number of searches performed worldwide on a daily basis is nearly 2 billion! That's over 22,000 searches conducted per second, which presents a whole lot of marketing opportunity!
