On the governors desk this week is a bill that would establish a college fund for students that would be employed by the state. If the student meets criteria in regards to GPA and graduates within a particular program, then works for the state for a minimum specified number of years, their college loan would be paid for. The details are not set in the bill, they would be determined later, but the bill is for the creation of the fund and to start this process. It is not yet clear how the fund would be… funded.

Comment From the State Superintendent:
“North Carolina is in jeopardy of taking our schools back in time with the budget targets released this week by the Senate’s Education Committee,” said State Superintendent June Atkinson said. “If the Senate targets are put in place, parents can count on the fact that their children will be in larger classes with fewer resources and in schools with fewer adults to teach, maintain discipline and ensure that students stay on track for graduation. I believe our state can do better than this.”
North Carolina’s public school budgets have been cut for three consecutive years.
Spending targets released this week by the NC Senate’s Education Committee would cut $106 million more from public schools than the nearly $1 billion in cuts already approved this spring by the NC House.
WRAL reports that today a person was shot at Maria Parham hospital in the leg by a Henderson police officer. Names and reasons have not yet been released. I suspect we’ll get a press statement later, or if not see the incident report tomorrow.

We were curious if Mr. Hart would offer his advice on computer issues sometimes.
Exempli gratia, what anti-virus software would he recommend? Norton’s? McAffee? Another brand?
For home use Microsoft Security Essentials for antivirus and practicing safe computer usage is sufficient enough if done properly. None are 100% effective, even the paid ones.
