Sheila Shirley, the quiet force behind Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools? annual billion-dollar budget drama, won a national award for her service to public education.
Shirley, CMS? chief financial officer since 2000, was honored by the Council of the Great City Schools during last week?s CFO conference in Fort Lauderdale, Fla.
?Few people in the United States have contributed more to the financial integrity and improvement of urban public education than Sheila Shirley,? said Executive Director Michael Casserly, who called the award ?long overdue.?
The soft-spoken Shirley maintains a low public profile. But her job puts her in charge of the $1.2 billion budget for one of the region?s largest employers, which must follow federal, state and local financial rules.
The political decisions connected with the CMS budget are often controversial, especially during a tenure that has seen CMS swing from dramatic growth to layoffs and other budget cuts. But the budget itself has repeatedly gotten clean reports from external auditors, and the finance department has gotten numerous awards during Shirley?s time.
Before coming to CMS, Shirley worked in private finance offices, including Husqvarna and Novant Health. She is now working for her sixth CMS superintendent, Heath Morrison.
?We?re very fortunate to have her on our team,? Morrison said.

MIAMI (CBSMiami) ? As you celebrate and feast these upcoming holidays with loved ones and family; you may want to think twice about letting your furry friend enjoy the leftovers.
While you celebrate with turkey and all the trimmings you may be tempted to include your pet, however, some parts of the holiday feast could actually make your pets sick.
Experts say foods like turkey, onions, macadamia nuts, chocolate, raisins, garlic, grapes, the sugar substitute xylitol, and raw or undercooked food can create health problems for pets.
Sneaking a juicy turkey bone or a chicken bone under the dinner table is more harmful than you think. The bones could splinter, causing the intestines to be pierced.
Feeding pets uncooked or undercooked meat could be a potential cause of salmonella as well as pancreatitis.
You should also stay away from herbs and spices, like the sage used in stuffing, which can contain oil and resins that can cause pets to vomit or have diarrhea. Cats are particularly sensitive to spices.
It is best to keep your pets on their normal diets and tightly seal garbage bags, placing them in a tightly covered container to prevent your pets from getting into something that could injure them.
If you simply can?t resist sharing, a little mashed potatoes, a bit of pumpkin pie, green beans, sweet potato, and a tiny bit of boneless cooked turkey are considered safe for your pets.
Is $20 too much for a deck of playing cards styled to look exactly like the pixelated designs in Windows 98 Solitaire? Not a chance. As their creator Evan Roth points out, before the internet Solitaire was the only real distraction an office drone could rely on. So why not give it the respect and immortalization it deserves with this lovely deck printed on genuine Bicycle playing cards? More »
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) ? Authorities launched a homicide investigation Monday into the house explosion that killed a young couple and left numerous homes uninhabitable in an Indianapolis neighborhood.
Indianapolis Homeland Security Director Gary Coons made the announcement after meeting with residents affected by the Nov. 10 blast and shortly after funerals were held for the victims, who lived next door to the house where investigators believe the explosion occurred.
"We are turning this into a criminal homicide investigation," Coons said, marking the first time investigators have acknowledged a possible criminal element to the case.
Search warrants have been executed and officials are now looking for a white van that was seen in the subdivision the day of the blast, Marion County Prosecutor Terry Curry said. Federal authorities are offering a $10,000 reward for information in the case.
Curry said the investigation is aimed at "determining if there are individuals who may be responsible for this explosion and fire," but neither he nor Coons took questions or indicated if investigators had any suspects.
Officials have said they believe natural gas was involved in the explosion, which destroyed five homes and left dozens damaged, some heavily. Investigators have been focusing on appliances as they search for a cause of the explosion, which caused an estimated $4.4 million in damage.
"We thought something like this was not just an accident," said Doug Aldridge, who heads the neighborhood Crime Watch.
Aldridge said he and other residents frequently saw a white van parked outside the home, though he didn't know who owned it. He said residents were angry and upset, but he expects most of them to stay in the neighborhood.
"It's surprising that it finally came to that. Everyone had their suspicions," Chris Sutton, who lives a street away from the blast site, said after learning about the homicide investigation.
"It's kind of scary that someone might set off a gas explosion," he added. "It's really scary."
Hundreds of people attended the funerals earlier Monday for the couple killed in the explosion, 34-year-old John Dion Longworth and 36-year-old Jennifer Longworth.
She was a teacher remembered for knitting gifts for her students, while her husband, an electronics expert, was known as a gardener and nature lover.
Indianapolis Mayor Greg Ballard, who spoke at the news conference, said he went to the Longworths' funeral and had a hard time coming to peace with what had happened.
"There is a search for truth and there is a search for justice," Ballard said.
The couple lived next door to the house where investigators are focusing. The co-owner of that house, John Shirley, told The Associated Press he had recently received a text message from his daughter saying the furnace in the home, which she shares with her mother and her mother's boyfriend, had gone out.
Shirley's ex-wife, Monserrate Shirley, said her boyfriend, Mark Leonard, had replaced the thermostat recently and the furnace had resumed working.
She and her boyfriend were away at a casino at the time of the blast. The daughter was staying with a friend, and the family's cat was being boarded.
A huge mass of electrically-charged particles thrown out by a gigantic eruption on the Sun is due to strike the Earth tonight.
Scientists expect it to trigger one of the most violent geomagnetic storms ever recorded.
The result could be widespread power surges and even blackouts, disrupted TV and mobile phone signals, and broken down communication satellites.
At the same time the Northern Lights, normally confined to polar latitudes, may produce dazzling displays in the skies above southern Britain.
At least one satellite has already been knocked out of action by the storm. Japan?s space agency said its Kodama communications satellite had been temporarily shut down after malfunctioning.
The solar flare that caused the eruption burst out of a sunspot at 10.54am yesterday.
Experts said it was the strongest flare seen in the past 30 years. The explosion caused a coronal mass ejection (CME) which is now speeding towards Earth.
Disruption
Last week another CME only hit the Earth a glancing blow, yet was able to disrupt airline communications.
The solar flare was classified as an X18-category explosion, meaning it can trigger planet-wide radio blackouts and long-lasting radiation storms.
Although the charged particles present no direct danger to people on the ground, they could have a devastating effect on electrical equipment.
Geomagnetic storms are classified on a scale of one to five. Initial indications are that the looming storm could reach the highest G5 level and last for 24 hours.
Northern Lights
The most obvious manifestation of the storm is likely to be glorious auroras lighting up the night sky.
Usually the Northern Lights, or aurora borealis, is only visible in Britain from northern Scotland. The Earth?s magnetic field channels the solar particles that cause auroras towards the poles.
But experts say that over the next two days the Northern Lights may be seen at latitudes as low as Florida and Texas ? and even south enough to cover the whole of Europe. Dailymail
The sun unleashed a monster eruption of super-hot plasma Friday in back-to-back solar storms captured on camera by a NASA spacecraft.
The giant sun eruption, called a solar prominence, occurred at 1 a.m. EST (0600 GMT), with another event flaring up four hours later. The prominences was so large, it expanded beyond the camera view of NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO), which captured high-definition video of the solar eruption.
In the video, a colossal loop of glowing red plasma erupts from the lower left of the sun, arcing up and out of frame as it blasts away from the star.
"The red-glowing looped material is plasma, a hot gas made of electrically charged hydrogen and helium," officials with NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, which oversees the SDO mission, explained in a description. "The prominence plasma flows along a tangled and twisted structure of magnetic fields generated by the sun?s internal dynamo. An erupting prominence occurs when such a structure becomes unstable and bursts outward, releasing the plasma."
Friday's solar eruption does not appear to be aimed at Earth, so will likely have little effect on our planet. But that was not the case earlier this week when a powerful solar flare erupted on Monday (Nov. 12). That flare registered as an M6-class eruption, a moderate but still intense solar event.
On Tuesday and Wednesday, space weather conditions sparked a geomagnetic storm that supercharged the Earth's auroras, creating spectacular northern lights displays for observers at high latitudes.
When aimed directly at Earth, the most powerful solar flares and eruptions can pose a threat to satellites and astronauts in orbit, and also interfere with communication, navigation and power systems on the ground.
The sun is currently in the middle of an active phase of its 11-year solar weather cycle. The current cycle is called Solar Cycle 24 and is expected to peak in 2013.

I was fascinated to recently read about the uptake of online property games in Australia and how ?thousands of Aussies are building property empires online?.
Highlighting this trend was Century 21 Australia?s game ?Property Mogul? which has apparently recorded over $3.4 trillion worth of property transactions since it was launched a year ago.
While I?ve only had a brief flirtation with the game, I was reminded of my love of playing Sim City growing up. I think it was Sim City 2000 to be more precise.
The open-ended city-building game handed you the task of founding and developing a city from scratch. While I played this game purely for fun, I?m sure it would have set me in good stead if had I planned a career in town planning or local politics.
The game allowed you to revel in the constructing of huge skyscrapers and bridges but it also required you to consider that your residents required electricity and water. You also had to think about budgets and finance such as setting tax rates and collecting money to develop your city further.
My point is this: while online property games are designed for fun, perhaps there is merit in teaching people about the property market in general. Just as I learned that my people needed basic utilities, players of property games will learn the ways an investment property can generate income. The aim is to educate and demystify wannabe property investors and that can only be a good thing.
Granted there are some massive differences ? in Property Mogul you start out with $1 million in virtual cash ? but the basic task of buying, selling and managing properties remains the same. And just like real life you can climb the property ladder and even increase your reputation as a good landlord.
So without further ado, I?m off to create my property empire!

Great, I've shot my first short, the musician whose music I borrowed liked it so much she is spending money on shooting a music vid, I have another short next Feb / March and a few other bits and pieces kicking around. Sure, I had my short critiqued by an industry pro who taught me a huge amount about what I should've done. I was beginning to get compliments, feeling smug that I was making progress and then, and then...
I sat for 2 hours with a sound engineer. I helped him with a little thing which means that in return, he's happy to give me lots of his time recording free of charge when he's around and also to give me a few lessons. In that two hours, I learned more about the mistakes I'd made than I could ever possibly have imagined. Sound design for individual scenes (creating depth, shape), mood and recording live. The amount I learned was absolutely unbelievable.
I felt like a complete, total and utter sound fool, almost as if I'd never shot anything before. He showed me simple little elements which would've improved my first short immeasurably. I had absolutely no idea and feel like a total, complete and utter idiot relating to the sound which was recorded. Before I met him, I thought I knew something about sound but afterwards, I feel the way Einstein's cat must've felt when he was talking about Quantum mechanics.
It feels like the more I know, the more I don't know...
Anyhow, just venting...
And incidentally, if anyone has a minute, I have a trailer for a second short in the narrative screening room. If you have (literally) a minute, I'd appreciate if you'd have a look and critique. And if you do have a look, please be brutal. And sound people - I can now hear the issues... Jeez, I feel like a total noob...

I understand that you are just venting. I assume you're venting in public knowing people will comment. Mostly I'll let your own words comment:

Learning is what it's all about in my opinion. Everyone posting here has been where you are or will be there. I've been where you are. Don't beat yourself up. Enjoy the learning.

Aren't you a noob? Clearly when it comes to audio you are. Is there something wrong about being a noob? I've been making movies for a long time - I've been making my sole living (not part time, not hobbiest) for my entire working life in film so I'm no longer a noob, but everyday it feels like the more I know, the more I don't know. I LOVE that! I am always learning from someone who knows more than I do and that's what keeps me going. Do you not feel that way? Usually I recognize and understand that we all feel differently about most things - but not this. I can't imagine anyone not absolutely loving the fact that the more you know the more you find out you don't know. I would be stifled if I actually knew everything about filmmaking. I would stop making movies if I did. Learning new things is what keeps me going - it's my favorite part of this job.

My audio guy has 20 plus years in studio recording and live venue recording. The last thing he did for me (Kohlman Files) is now the 10th film/video project he has worked on. I believe if you count everything (mix, Foley, ADR, music, etc...) he put 200 hours plus into a 22 minute video. We STILL consider what we are doing on the sound side really rudimentary at best.

I'd definitely second what Directorik said. I've been making my living from sound (music and audio post) for nearly 30 years. Many consider me to be an expert but that doesn't mean I know it all, in fact far from it. Being an "expert" means that I am knowledgeable and experienced enough to realise just how limited my knowledge really is, whereas you are just starting to learn how limited your knowledge is. Even after 30 years I still know only a small fraction of what there is to know about sound but it's this which drives me. If I really did know it all, I'd probably give up out of sheer boredom.
In other words, don't let ignorance get you down, use it to push yourself forward. That's what I do!

All I've learned is that I still have an awful lot to learn...
Sound is the hardest part of filmmaking. You can't see it, you can't touch or feel it, and no one ever bothered to teach you how to listen.
Listening is so completely automatic that you never think about it. Your ears were the only sense that was completely active when you were in your mothers womb. Your ears never "turn off," they are active 24/7. They are your alarm system when you are asleep, still processing everything you hear, listening for threats. Your hearing is multidimensional without moving your head; you can pinpoint sounds left or right, front or back, up or down. You can close you eyes if you don't want to see something, but you can''t close your ears; at best you can stuff your fingers in your ears and mute the sound a bit.
That is the issue; you take your hearing completely for granted. Until you learn how to listen you will always have problems with film sound.

It is unbelievably hard... and easy at the same time.
However, what really struck me is how obvious certain elements of sound design are... and how I completely overlooked them. I put a couple of them into the f@cked up trailer I put together (in the narrative section) but the sound had already been recorded badly by the time I got to it...
Back to beating my head against my computer screen...

As I've been preaching for years, it all starts with the production sound. At the indie level you cannot afford - financially and artistically - to ignore capturing quality production sound.

I would add 'in a film-maker's way.' I can hear lots of elements of classical music and back in the day we were all trained to strip a score down just by listening to it.
However, this is the first time I have had to consider how sound carries an image, the way the brain interprets etc... This is all new.

This observation is IMO fundamental to filmmaking. What we see isn't reality and neither is what we hear. We don't see or hear the world around us as it is, instead we perceive the world around us as our brains interpret it. This distinction between reality and perception is what allows film to work. Without it, everyone would experience film for what it is, edited together clips of almost pure fakery and film would not exist as an art or as entertainment.
As filmmakers we need to have a good understanding of perception, so we can manipulate it to tell our story. The fact is that perception is a single combination of senses rather than a set of individual unrelated senses. This is massively important to appreciate because it means that our perception of what we are hearing is influenced by what we are seeing and how we perceive the images we are seeing is influenced by what we are hearing. Filmmakers who concentrate on the visual aspect of filmmaking are wasting their time, if they are not equally considering how the sound will affect the perception of those who will be watching the images. Here's an excellent demonstration of what I'm talking about and of how the perception of sight and sound are completely interlinked rather than being two independent senses.

Holy crap! I didn't even notice his mouth at first, i just started hearing fa fa fa instead.. That is very interesting.
This whole thread has been making me think about my sound. Sound is one of the things that was extremely lacking for me in the past and still is. I have no clue how to even get started on getting into making better sound. My friend who is working on films with me is the one with the real passion for sound. Although, he is at the same place as me and I don't really know how to get him started on actually learning how to create proper sound for our films. I don't even know where to start myself..

One place to start is to read Sound Design: The Expressive Power of Music, Voice and Sound Effects in Cinema by David Sonnenschein. He discusses the artistic, psycho-acoustic and other esoteric aspects of sound rather than the technical ones.
You may also want to watch/listen to folks like Randy Thom, Ben Burrt, Gary Rydstrom and Walter Murch discuss the craft of sound design on YouTube and on the DVD extras of the films on which they worked. (I posted a Randy Thom interview today, as a matter of fact: http://www.indietalk.com/showthread.php?t=44361) You may also want to spend some time at FilmSound.org. Randy Thom is especially forthcoming. He used to be a frequent participant on an audio post forum I subscribe to; he doesn't participate much these days as he now basically runs SkyWalker Sound. He was a great help to me when I started out, answering my endless questions.
Production sound is highly technical and requires great skill, but does not allow for much in the way of creative artistry, although it is an art-form unto itself. Audio post is another world entirely. Sound design is about the emotional content of the sounds, how they propel the story and enhance the characters. One thing that immediately becomes apparent is that you need to be able to understand and use technology instinctively so that it doesn't interfere with the creative process. You are creating, from scratch, an entire sonic world. The audience must believe it entirely, yet not really notice it.
I'm not trying to denigrate your interest in sound, but it requires a very large commitment. You really need to love sound. You need to spend a lot of time listening to the real world and how sound designers translate the real world into the film medium. I can't tell you how many hours I have spent with a hidden mic and headphones in bars, diners, train stations, bus stations, parks, beaches and dozens of other locations listening to people talking (to get the flow for dialog editing) and how real world sounds are radically changed when coming through a microphone - and then how it changes again when played through speakers. I also spend a lot of time listening to films without watching the visuals; it's amazing how much just the sounds (and the score) let you what is going on in a film.

Get a shotgun mic on a boom pole... get that sound into a pair of headphones somehow... then walk around and listen to your environments and people talking and turn the microphone in different directions while pointing at the subject's chin to see what the differences in the background noises and quality of the foreground noise (subject) when you do this.
Same as with a camera, until you actually turn it on and look at the image on the screen, it's all just theory and words. You HAVE TO experience it to start to understand it.
Just so you see where I am, at this stage, I have a five mic setup for tomorrow which I am running through a pro mixer (most kit has been borrowed) and am beginning to understand sound design and how the brain interprets sound. The mics were selected and lent to me by a professional sound engineer who talked me through sound design and selected the mics based on the specific functions for each one.
Funnily enough, I did not understand why a mixer was necessary! I was reading all the posts about sound and thought I had an idea but I really did not understand. Part of this was because I lacked an understanding of the basics of sound design - emphasis on the word 'design' which gives depth, movement and realism to any short / music recording. This is where a mixer and sound design meet... Jeez I'm dumb for not understanding this before!
There are some flaws with my setup for tomorrow which are around the recording (plus the human element). Again, I did not understand about the weakest link in the chain concept of sound. Sure, I understood the concept but would not have really been able to put my finger on exactly why the recorder I am using is a weak link. After the discussion, practice and demo with the sound engineer, I now genuinely understand the basics and it is as if a million pennies have dropped.
As a note, the professional sound engineer offered to lend me a piece of professional equipment to record the sound and gave me a brief tutorial. Unfortunately, I was unable to take the recorder as I was physically unable to carry it away under the weight of the mixer, the cables, the mics and the other gear I had on me!
Cameras are so much easier!!!!!
For my next short in Feb / March, I will have a dedicated sound recordist who has a smattering of sound recording experience.
I could've described what the different buttons on a mixer did but I hadn't made the connection in the relationship between design and a mixer as well as how we, as humans, interpret sound. I feel so dumb!!!! I feel like an idiot!!!
