Q: We have this problem in Old Zionsville, especially during rain and light snow, but even in dry conditions. In a month-long period in June and July we witnessed three accidents and two close calls on the sharp curve in the middle of the village. Drivers heading south on Kings Highway do not see the curve, and they slide into the guardrail or into oncoming traffic. There is a light warning sign and some arrows, but we'd like to see a 'sharp curve ahead' sign or something similar to prevent these accidents.
— Andrew Hipszer, Upper Milford Township
A: It's a potent combination, Andrew: a sharp bend in a narrow road on a steep hill. On the lower portion, there are buildings fairly close to the road and many driveways, and a gorgeous stone church — with its parking lot on the opposite side of the road.

Tim Salerno captured this interesting picture this spring of a mature coyote carrying what appears to be the head of a fawn in its mouth. He got the nighttime shot using a trail camera.
Faithful followers of this column undoubtedly fell off their seats last week when I actually penned something on the state's proposed deer management plan that was chock full of facttoids but absent of my ever-so-superfluous opinion.
Well, this week you won't be disappointed.
Before I smash the state Department of Environmental Conservation's plan on the floor and jump up and down on it with football cleats, however, I first want to commend them for the effort.
Honestly, we've had too many knee-jerk regulations put in place in the past without a thorough process involving public input and sound science. It is nice to see wildlife managers step back and look at the broader picture in the interest of a healthier herd.
The DEC has received well over 2,000 comments on this plan over the past two years, and it appears as if they are listening to us. Recommendations like expanding youth hunting and huntable land as well as increasing crossbow use and opportunities for disabled hunters are evidence of that.
But other recommendations, while put forth with good intention, are seriously flawed in my opinion — mainly because DEC just doesn't have the "boots on the ground" to adequately implement and track them.
They are certainly not at fault for that. If the state would free up the $26-$28 million we sportsmen have sitting in the conservation fund, perhaps the trend of not filling badly-needed positions at the DEC would end.
In the meantime, I have to question the viability of proposals like the one to switch to an across-the-board doe permit system, without enough staff in place to implement them.
There is no question that a doe permit system would require a careful tracking mechanism to determine the size of the herd in any given area to work. Currently, the DEC relies heavily on things like doe sightings reported by bowhunters when determining deer numbers, and thus how many doe permits an area can support.
I'm not so sure that type of analysis of the population is going to provide sufficient data to accurately base doe permit numbers on. I also doubt they could estimate the herd quickly enough in the spring to doll out the correct number of doe permits that fall.
Further, I know wildlife officials who would argue that deer numbers change very little from one year to the next — at least in the northern zone — even after doe harvest is allowed with primitive arms. So what exactly will be gained?
Plus, I think many northern zone hunters have the same concern as me in that very few permits would be issued here. That, to me, means less opportunities for the ever-dwindling number of folks who still hunt here. According to the state's own numbers, deer hunting has dropped 40 percent since 1980 — can we really afford to drive anymore away?
I just don't think the deer population, the number of hunters or the number of antlerless deer they take during bow and muzzleloader seasons fluctuates that much, and it certainly hasn't decimated the herd.
At the same time, I would argue that the DEC routinely underestimates the number of people who harvest deer yet fail to report their take as required — but that's a column for another day.
Antler restrictions
I'll keep this one short and sweet — I'm not a fan of antler restrictions. I'm not a trophy hunter — never have been. Nice antlers are a bonus, but they're really chewy no matter how thin you slice them. You want monster racks? Watch the outdoor channel.
I'm also skeptical that antler restrictions would make much of a difference in New York. Unless you're talking about a heavily managed ranch somewhere, I've seen very little hard evidence that restrictions actually create more opportunity for larger racked deer, at least in the wild. In fact, I've read studies that say just the opposite — that removing the herd's older deer with the best genetics can actually be detrimental to antler growth.
Meanwhile, young deer taste better and are often less apt to make it through a severe winter. This region has always been about survival of the fittest — so why harvest only the fittest?
Longer season
Lastly, I just can't bite my tongue on the proposed extension of the seasons, most of which benefits bow hunters.
Before I continue, though, I want to make one point absolutely clear — I am an avid bowhunter — I absolutely love the sport and I admire anyone with the patience and dedication to harvest a deer with a bow.
But it seems like every time the state tries to increase opportunities — youth and crossbow hunting immediately come to mind — they first have to appease the bowhunting lobby before it can be enacted.
You can't tell me that the addition of nearly two weeks to the front end of the bow season in the southern zone, for example, wasn't an olive branch given to bowhunters because they will have to put up with three days of youth in the woods with firearms.
An additional week of bowhunting is also proposed for the northern zone, pushing the last day of regular season to Dec. 9 and the last day of late muzzleloader to Dec. 16. I don't know about where you hunt, but around my camp the deer are normally in their yards by then, and does are pregnant.
Is a season at that time sound science?
Here's an idea; change the license year to allow kids in the woods before Oct. 1. Then, why not give them first crack at the forest when the deer are still in their natural patterns.
Wait a minute .... was that a collective gasp of air I just heard from the bowhunter groups?
Better tack on another week of bow or it'll never fly.

It definitely looks badass, but it looks too cartoonish for it to be real. A Stan Winston or Rick Baker version would be way more awesome than that.

Nationals Ticket Info
The Washington Nationals proved that they are one of the league's strongest teams by winning 98 games in '12 but took a step backwards last season as they only were able to win 86 games in the difficult NL East. The Nats are led by a young group of stars including Stephen Strasburg, Bryce Harper, and Gio Gonzalez, Nats fans have plenty of reason to be excited about the future. Despite injuries to Stephen Strasburg and Bryce Harper, the Nats were able to play very well in the second half and come within four games of the NL Wild Card. If you want to see one of the top teams in the entire National League, then buy your Washington Nationals baseball tickets today.
As if the chance to watch Strasburg and Harper is not enough to entice you into buying Nats tickets, then there's also the spectacular Nationals Park to draw you in. The $600 million ballpark is a huge improvement over RFK Stadium, the former home of the Nationals, and it likely has something to do with the improved play of the Nationals on the field.

Whether you want to spend a little more and sit close to the field, or are looking for more economical Nationals Park seats in the upper deck, GoTickets is ready to help with a huge selection of Nationals baseball tickets.
The Washington Nationals baseball schedule will feature a heavy dose of divisional games in the very tough National League East. The Philadelphia Phillies put up the best record in baseball last season, and the Mets, Braves and Marlins are all solid teams. That's going to make it tough for the Nats to win the division, but that's certainly a possibility in the near future. Come check out the team the 2016 season with Washington Nationals tickets from GoTickets.

Mayor Bill Bunten took exception Tuesday night to Lana Kennedy's comments claiming that his job responsibilities are largely "ceremonial." In a tutorial of his job description, Bunten objected to the use of the word. He named a long list of organizations the mayor of Topeka is part of, and his obligations under the city ordinance creating the "weak mayor" and "city manager" form of government.
Bunten said anyone who runs for the office next April and in the future, must not be discouraged from seeking the office because it's described as "ceremonial only." Bunten said he is commited to the task of making Topeka safer and cleaner, and is sure Topekans don't want their mayor thought of as a "back slapping, hand shaking PR bozo."
A few minutes, Sandra Lassiter of the Community First came to the podium, expressing her displeasure that the old Sumner School will be disposed of at an "auction." She said the historic building is much too important to be sold to the highest bidder.. and with a minimum bid of $50,000.. said the Community First investment group has more than enough to cover the bid, and wants to be taken seriously as a group that can purchase the school, doesn't want the school to sit empty, and can move ahead with renovation plans.

Journal and Magazine Article Databases
Academic Search Premier - This is a general database, which means it contains article citations and full text articles covering many academic subjects. It is one of the twenty-five databases produced by EbscoHost for which NSU has a subscription. It is probably our most widely used database and is sometimes referred to simply as "Ebsco."
ERIC - This is another database produced by EbscoHost. ERIC stands for the Educational Resource Information Center. It contains more than 2,200 digests along with references for additional information and citations and abstracts from over 1,000 educational and education-related journals. ERIC contains a thesaurus, which can be very helpful in figuring out which search terms to use when looking for information.
Professional Development Collection - Designed for professional educators, this database provides a highly specialized collection of more than 550 high quality education journals, including more than 350 peer-reviewed titles. This databasealso contains more than 200 educational reports.
PsycARTICLES - a definitive source of searchable full-text, peer-reviewed scholarly and scientific articles in psychology. The database contains more than 40,000 articles from 53 journals - 45 published by the American Psychological Association (APA) and 8 from allied organizations. It includes all journal articles, letters to the editor and errata from each journal. Coverage spans 1985 to present.
PsycINFO - PsycINFO, from the American Psychological Association (APA), contains more than 2 million citations and summaries of scholarly journal articles, book chapters, books, and dissertations, all in psychology and related disciplines, dating as far back as the 1800s. 97 percent of the covered material is peer-reviewed. Journal coverage, which spans 1887 to present, includes international material selected from nearly 2,000 periodicals in more than 25 languages. Contains a thesaurus.

An in-demand resource for a wide variety of users from students to social workers, Social Sciences Full Text covers the latest concepts, trends, opinions, theories, and methods from both applied and theoretical aspects of the social sciences.
Search Tips
1. Be prepared with synonyms in case your original search produces no results. Use a thesaurus if the database is equipped with one.
2. Pay attention to search tips or help screens provided by each database. Even experienced researchers (like professors and librarians!) can have trouble when dealing with a new interface. Take the time to learn how to use the tool - it will help you to avoid frustration!
3. Remember that most databases allow for Boolean Searching. Use and to narrow, or to expand, not to exlude. Truncation is also useful for bringing back all relevant results. For example, type counsel* to bring back documents containing the words counsel, counseling, counselor...
4. Take advantage of the following sources of help:

Evaluating Web sites
It's important to remember that publishing on the web is very easy - almost anyone can do it! The problem with that is knowing what's credible (worth your time) and what's not.
Here are some of the thing you want to look at or for:
the URL (.gov, .mil, .us, .edu are usually pretty credible);
links to information about the author or sponsoring organization;
links to other sites that are credible;
how current it is
Ultimately the researcher must be the one to determine whether or not to use information found on a web site. The following information from the University of California at Berkeley provides some excellent guidelines for evaluating sites:
Steps to writing a strong journal article reflection

how to tell an 1800 ea81 from an ea71?
Posted 15 October 2004 - 04:40 PM
Found a 78 brat with 3 subaru motors in the back: an ea71, ea81, and an ea82. I've been looking for an 1800 ea81 to stick in my 79 wagon. From a glance its hard to figure out if the ea81 is 1600 or 1800. From appearance, the only differences are the oil filler has more of a twist, the water outlet (thermostat) is horizontal rather than slanted upward, and I think the pulley was 3 grooved. There's no air cleaner but the original Hitachi carb is there. Any tips appreciated.
This guy is looking to sell the Brat which looks a bit beat up but not much rust and the engines for $500 if anyone and happens to be in Flagstaff.
Posted 15 October 2004 - 04:44 PM
It is too a thread titled "VIN code help", where the guy really was looking for engine designators.
Short story: the engine-type is cast in big letters on top of block near RH head (driver's view).

all ea81s are 1800s. ea71s are 1600. look for the stamp as mentioned above. older ea71 engines (pre '80) have the stamp towards the rear of the engine on the drivers side.
Thanks for the replies. Color me confused because according to this chart there are 1600 cc EA81s in a several of the gen 2 early 80s cars. http://www.ultimates...gine-specs.html
I can't remember the starter location. That's the real give away? On the side for ea81s and on top if its an ea81. Anyway, its stamped an ea81 but it sure doesn't look much different. And the VIN number won't help since its typically on the dashboard of what is now a crushed and recycled car.

EA81 engines are all 1800cc
Both have 92mm bore (pistons),
but the EA71 only has a 60mm stroke compared to the EA81's 67mm stroke.
Due to the difference in stroke, EA71 engines are slightly narrower from valve cover to valve cover than EA81 engines.

I want to know if you believe Suh. Im not sure if were allowed to use PFT but I assume we are so here is the Link
Lions defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh says that his reputation as a dirty player is based on people making assumptions about him without getting to know him.
Asked by the Houston Chronicle about his Thanksgiving kick to the groin on Texans quarterback Matt Schaub, Suh said people would have seen it for the accident it was if they didn't have preconceived notions about him being dirty.
"People kind of had their minds made up already," he said. "I would never want to kick someone in that area."
Of course, the reason people had their minds made up is that a year earlier, Suh stomped on Green Bay's Evan Dietrich-Smith — and no one thinks that was an accident. But Suh says that instant shouldn't define him.
"I wish people took the time to get to know me," Suh said.
Suh can come across like an intelligent, thoughtful man off the field. But opponents who have gotten to know him by playing against him on the field have voted him the NFL's dirtiest player. Those guys would rather not know Suh.

Moultrie, GA- January, 4, 2013
Surveillance video is giving us a closer look at the chilling incident that unfolded Wednesday night at the Super Dollar store in Moultrie.
"One black male came into the store. He showed a revolver, a silver colored revolver, pointed it to one of the employees and he demanded money," said Investigator Raul Leal with the Moultrie Police Department.
Investigators say the man, who was wearing a ski mask, forced the employee to empty the cash register. According to police, the suspect made off with a large amount of money.
The assistant manager of the store said in light of the incident, they have decided to now lock their doors an hour before closing, that way they can see who is coming in, before it's too late.
"At the time, there were two employees at the business and the one that got robbed was in shock and wasn't able to say much at the time," said Leal.
Investigators are looking for a black male, possibly in his 20's, 5'8 to 5'10 and around 160 pounds.
Moultrie Police are asking anyone with information on this incident or a possible suspect to call Investigations at 229-890-5500.

Open Heart (Hardcover)
Translated by Marion Wiesel A profoundly and unexpectedly intimate, deeply affecting summing up of his life so far, from one of the most cherished moral voices of our time. Eighty-two years old, facing emergency heart surgery and his own mortality, Elie Wiesel reflects back on his life. Emotions, images, faces and questions flash through his mind. His family before and during the unspeakable Event. The gifts of marriage and children and grandchildren that followed. In his writing, in his teaching, in his public life, has he done enough for memory and the survivors? His ongoing questioning of God--where has it led? Is there hope for mankind? The world's tireless ambassador of tolerance and justice has given us this luminous account of hope and despair, an exploration of the love, regrets and abiding faith of a remarkable man.
About the Author
Elie Wiesel was fifteen years old when he was deported to Auschwitz. After the war he became a journalist and writer in Paris, and since then has written more than fifty books, both fiction and nonfiction. His masterwork, Night, was a major best seller when it was republished recently in a new English translation. Wiesel has been awarded the United States Congressional Gold Medal, the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the French Legion of Honor's Grand Cross, an honorary knighthood of the British Empire and, in 1986, the Nobel Peace Prize. Since 1976 he has been the Andrew W. Mellon Professor in the Humanities at Boston University.
Praise For…
"A successful husband, father, grandfather, teacher, and writer, [Mr. Wiesel] is an asset to humankind. He has turned despondency into a message of approval and optimism…Mr. Wiesel packages equal parts beauty and astonishing description in an impossibly concise manner. Few authors have possessed such capacity for succinctness and brevity with magnificent dexterity."
-NY Journal of Books
"An absorbing, clear-eyed reflection on [Wiesel's] own mortality and a candid account of a life lived…Open Heart is Wiesel at his most vulnerable and his most determined, and his thoughts and ideas have never been so lucidly conveyed."
-The Rumpus
"The reader…becomes a quiet observer of Wiesel's thoughts, which are plagued by the question: 'Am I ready to die?' His answer, clearly, is no…What seems like a quick and easy read actually delves deeply into the philosophical and makes you wonder: Will I be ready when it's my time?"
—The Free Lance-Star

As we were trying to film on the bridge into Tahrir Square an angry mob of pro-Mubarak protesters surrounded us and chased us into the car, shouting that they hated us and America.We jumped into our car but some of the protesters kicked in the car doors and broke our windshield as we drove away.
"The Egyptian street just before the riots !"
"Those Egyptian cops don't look very happy !
The worst clashes since Friday erupted today in Cairo with pro- and anti-Mubarak mobs facing off in Liberation Square. Shots have been fired and there have been reports of injuries.
Tensions erupted on a day that had begun with some improvements, such as the Internet being restored and curfew hours being shortened.
Earlier in the day, before the clashes, we had gone over to interview Amr Moussa, the longtime President of the Arab League. But when we left the Arab League headquarters, we discovered many of the pro- Mubarak demonstrators had taken to the streets. A band of thugs were gathering around the Arab League headquarters.
One of the women who works there later told us that as she approached the building with a camera in her hand, the crowd pulled her by her scarf, trying to pull her to the ground.
Those opposed to change have clearly turned against the media. Yesterday two of our colleagues were arrested and roughed up by a plainclothes policeman, who tried to seize their camera.

polyester webbing does stretch, and using webbing of lower break strength will result in more stretch. people have sucesfully used 800# webbing i believe without failure. i personally have tested polyester webbing from 1200-3500# and found the owf camo poly webbing (2000#) to be the best combo of low weight, and low stetch.
as far as how much strength you need, it depends on how heavy you are and the sag angle you use, this is influenced by weather or not you use a ridgeline and how tight you crank it. i would say you should be fine with any webbing rated to over 1000#, but like i said, weaker webbing will stretch more, if low stretch is important to you, use a stronger webbing.

SAN LEANDRO (CBS SF) — Four people were displaced due to a fire in San Leandro near the BART tracks on Friday night, which briefly interrupted BART service between the Oakland Coliseum and Bayfair BART stations.
The blaze was at an auto body shop in the 500 block of San Leandro Boulevard located near the BART tracks, fire officials said.
The fire was reported around 10:30 p.m. and under control shortly before 11 p.m. The American Red Cross was called to assist two adults and two children displaced by the fire, according to fire officials.
The address is located about half a mile away north from the San Leandro BART station. No injuries were reported.
Service was stopped due to the fire near the tracks in the vicinity of the San Leandro BART station around 10:50 p.m., a BART employee said.
Service was restored at about 11:15 p.m. and there were residual delays of 15 minutes as of 11:30 p.m., the employee said.
The cause of the fire is under investigation.

With Tobias Summers still a fugitive, prosecutors Wednesday charged him with kidnapping a 10-year-old girl from her Northridge bedroom at knifepoint and then repeatedly sexually assaulting her during a 12-hour ordeal.
Summers, 32, was charged in his absence with 36 counts of sexual assault as well as kidnapping and first-degree burglary, the Los Angeles County district attorney's office said. If convicted, he faces multiple life terms in prison.
For the first time, the felony complaint details a violent episode for the girl. She vanished from her unlocked Northridge home in the middle of the night March 27, during what sources said may have begun as a burglary. She was discovered missing at 3:40 a.m. by her mother, who heard a sound and went to investigate. The girl, barefoot and appearing battered and bruised, was dropped off about 12 hours later in a Woodland Hills parking lot.
The complaint alleges that Summers broke into the home and used a knife to abduct the girl. He is charged with committing numerous sexual acts on the child and taking nude photos of the girl.

It seems that up to now Armadillo Aerospace was and is the leader - last year and this year they were the only competitor.
Next year at least one circumstance seems to be changing - instead of one competitor there will be three at least:
Masten Space Systems
Armadillo Aerospace
Micro-Space has a lander ready and simply didn't get the FAA permission this year while it looks as if Masten wasn't at the point this year yet where a FAA permission was required. Am I right so far?
If yes then next year's XPC will see the first real Lunar Lander Challenge competition since it will be the first time three teams flying their landers in direct competition to each other.
It seems likely that Armadillo aerospace is in front - but rpspeck is reporting in the General Microspace Forum and on the Micro-Space homepage sounds as if Micro-Space is close behind Amadillo Aerospace.
So waht about it?

The clock is ticking on finding a Monday night home for homeless men in McHenry County.
Sts. Peter and Paul Catholic Church in Cary was the McHenry County PADS host site Mondays last winter.
The church averaged about 50 people each week. Unfortunately, the rooms the church uses to provide shelter to the homeless can house only 30 to 40 people safely, per the fire code.
So PADS organizers are looking for another site that can hold about 50 people to host men on Monday nights. Sts. Peter and Paul plans to host women and children. The shelter season starts Oct. 1.
McHenry County PADS offers emergency and transitional housing coupled with support services in order to help homeless individuals work toward becoming self-sufficient, according to the Pioneer Center website.
Nine churches in McHenry County, including Sts. Peter and Paul Catholic Church, open their doors to the homeless. They feed and shelter those who show up during the winter months. A hot meal and a warm place to stay go a long way as people fight to overcome difficulty in their lives.
Those churches include Bethany Lutheran Church in Crystal Lake (Sundays), Immanuel Lutheran Church in Crystal Lake (women and children overflows on Sundays), Christ the King Catholic Church in Wonder Lake (Tuesdays), Redeemer Lutheran Church in Woodstock (Wednesdays), St. Joseph Catholic Church in Richmond (Thursdays), St. Joseph Church in Harvard (women and children on Thursdays), Christian Fellowship Church in Crystal Lake (Fridays), and Cary United Methodist (Saturdays).
The community needs one more church to add to the list. Site coordinator Rich Ring said it hasn't been discussed whether the church would turn people away on Monday nights.
Let's hope it doesn't have to come to that.
People who may be able to donate space for a PADS site on Mondays should call Meghan Powell-Filler, the PADS and HUD coordinator for the Pioneer Center, at 815-759-7288.

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
Israeli media has been buzzing for the past week over revelations that members of the security forces privy to sensitive material and locations had been innocently sharing classified information with the world via the popular online social network Facebook.
Young Israel Defense Forces (IDF) soldiers and especially agents working for the Israel Security Agency (Shin Bet) have, like people in many Western countries, signed up for Facebook in droves.
Unfortunately, in the process of conducting casual conversations regarding their work, the Israelis revealed details of their jobs that could put them in personal danger. Additionally, the defense establishment fears that sensitive locations and deployments have been revealed to Israel's enemies in the many snapshots shared on the site.
Israel's Defense Ministry this week issued an urgent memo to all members of the security forces ordering them to not talk about their jobs on Facebook and to not post photos of a military nature, even those taken at home while wearing their army uniform.

Tokyo Heist by Diana Renn
Read by: Anna/Copley Teen Room
Tokyo Heist is the story of two stolen Van Gogh drawings and a missing Van Gogh painting. It is also the story of the young man who bought that painting and the family he left behind when he committed suicide over 30 years ago. And, it's the story of a bright teenage girl with an eye for drawing her own manga series, known as Kimono Girl. 16-year-old Violet hadn't planned on solving an art heist mystery during her summer vacation spent with her estranged father. She hadn't planned on getting chased by the largest Japanese gang, known as the Yakuza. And she definitely didn't plan on a trip to Japan any time soon. But she gets all that, and more, in this gripping mystery/suspense novel where sometimes the only way to solve a crime, is to draw it out like a Japanese comic book.
I LOVED this book. That's it. Plain and simple. The way it was told, the language used, everything was realistic and gripping. Plus, I loved Kimono Girl. I was picturing the scenes Violet was drawing easily, and I loved the idea of a girl who could slip in and out of paintings to solve crimes and move around. It was a very interesting way to view the world and solve a crime. Anyone who loves Japan and manga will likely fall in love with Violet and this novel. It's a quick dive into Japanese culture, but one not soon forgotten. I highly recommend this title.

Two Columbus charter schools that opened last fall and then quickly closed are missing thousands of taxpayer dollars that were never deposited into the appropriate accounts. Columbus police are investigating.
Two Columbus charter schools that opened last fall and then quickly closed are missing thousands of taxpayer dollars that were never deposited into the appropriate accounts. Columbus police are investigating.
Because of an unusual governance setup, it�s not clear who actually was running the two Talented Tenth Leadership Academies that closed in October.
The schools� founder, Andre Tucker, is listed in state incorporation papers as creating them, but he also was a $70,982-a-year employee of his sponsor, the North Central Ohio Educational Service Center.
After he was hired, Tucker was assigned by the center to work at Talented Tenth � at his schools � according to a contract he provided yesterday. He previously was an accountant for Honda and had presided over another failed Columbus charter school.
�They got all the money,� Tucker said of the service center.
State-aid checks were mailed to Tucker, but he immediately turned them over to his sponsor, the service center, he said.
Under Ohio law, charter-school sponsors aren�t supposed to run the schools but rather to be the watchdogs for the taxpayers, monitoring schools� performance and expenditures and ultimately deciding whether they remain open.
But in the case of the two Talented Tenth schools, the center in effect sponsored itself: All employees worked for the service center, which also leased the buildings and handled all the money, officials confirmed yesterday.
Tucker said he wanted to close the schools sooner because of poor attendance, problems with their Near East Side facilities, fights and poor food service but was ordered to keep them open by the center.
It�s not uncommon for a sponsor to provide the full range of services that the center provided Tucker�s schools, said Thomas Holmes, a Cleveland attorney representing the service center. But the service center was supposed to provide oversight to the school�s governing board, not to Tucker, Holmes said.
Others disagree.
�It�s totally unacceptable that any type of sponsorship shop should be set up like that,� said Kathryn Mullen Upton, vice president for sponsorship with the pro-charter Thomas B. Fordham Foundation.
�It�s not a good system,� state Department of Education spokesman John Charlton said, noting that a nuance of state law allowed for it. That law gives an educational service center, which is a regional governmental body designed to support and assist school districts, the power to essentially create �conversion� charter schools whenever it controls the building that houses the school, as was the case with both Talented Tenth schools.
�All of these screwy arrangements are a function of totally flawed charter-school law,� said William L. Phillis, executive director of the Ohio Coalition for Equity and Adequacy of School Funding. Tucker, Phillis said, should have been working for his school board, not his sponsor.
None of the eight appointed members of the two boards could be reached for comment � most of their phone numbers listed on the state Department of Education website were disconnected or out of order yesterday. The only listed member who could be reached, Eldrica Gilbreath-Sanders of Columbus, said she was not aware that she was ever on the board � she said she simply handed out fliers for the school.
In February, state Auditor Dave Yost announced that he was investigating three sponsors, including the service center. The investigation was prompted by a series of stories in The Dispatch that detailed an unprecedented string of 17 charter-school failures in 2013, including five in Columbus that opened last fall and then quickly shut down that were sponsored by the service center.
The state Department of Education was alerted by attorneys for the service center that two state-aid checks totaling about $7,500 were never received by the schools' fiscal officer nor deposited into the schools� bank account.
The attorneys also notified the Columbus city prosecutor�s officer that, �We now know that the checks have been cashed, although it is not clear where or by what financial institution,� another document said.

Catching Up: Cliff Lee, College, Christmas
A lot has happened since the last time I posted, and I've had more than enough time to reflect. Yesterday was Christmas, and all I wanted was some Green Day sheet music and Cliff Lee. I got my music (yay!), but not Lee…he signed what seems an eternity ago with the Phillies. Little coward…At first I was devastated about Lee, but after awhile I began to think: he NEVER wanted to be a Yankee, so why the heck did I even want him in the first place? Baseball players, especially pitchers, are fragile creatures. If they aren't happy, they will not be successful. Cliff Lee was to scared to come to NY, so whatever.
In other news, I found out on Thursday, December 17 that I was accepted into Marist College and received a hefty scholarship. It was my first and only choice, so thank God I'm in. I hope to Major in Sports Communications. Now that that big weight has been lifted from my shoulders, I can concentrate on more important things, like the blog. Being a nerd, I will still do all my schoolwork, but I won't have spend as much time on it (it's time to enjoy senior year). Instead, I will spend time doing fun stuff, like playing piano and putting myself on youtube, learning guitar, and blogging.
Although I haven't blogged in awhile, I have been staying on top of the baseball news. Johnny Damon is available, and I heard the Yankees might be interested in signing him. But I then heard that it will be "unlikely" for the Yanks to sign him. Personally, I'd love to see him back. I was crushed to see him go in the first place. Johnny Damon is a fan-favorite, and I think the Yankee organization owes it to the fans do make a move like signing Damon, especially since they couldn't make the Lee thing work out. Damon can still play, and if he's happy (in New York) he will be even better. And he's such a good clubhouse guy…he might even be able to help straighten out A.J Burnett! I miss his smile, I miss is hair, and I miss his shirtless interviews…Aww, Johnny I hope you come back.
I've learned this offseason to not take anything for granted. So for now, I'll just expect NOT to get Damon. So if the Yankees do get him, I'll be extra happy.
It's been a pretty dull offseason for the Yankees, minus the whole Derek Jeter saga. They signed former-Met Pedro Feliciano to be a leftt-specialist with Boone Logan. They also signed former-Dodger catcher Russell Martin, which I don't like. I mean he's a fine player and everything, but I'd really rather see Jesus Montero play. I don't care how "ready" he is. I know the offseason is not over, but I'm just not expecting the Yankees do make any big moves. And with their starting rotation in the shape it is right now, I honestly do not think they have what it takes to contend in 2011. Sabathia, Burnett, Hughes, Nova, Mitre…not too good. So if that is the case, then why don't they just use Montero?
I have been saying it ever since the Yankees missed out on Lee: if they aren't going to win next year, all I want is to see Jesus Montero, this phenom, get a full year in the Bigs under his belt. If the 2011 season started tomorrow, I wouldn't expect to win. And I'd be okay with that. I think many Yankees fans, especially ones like me who are 17 years old, have been a bit spoiled: all we've ever known are Yankees who win. But every once in a while, even the best teams go through periods where they are not on top. And if 2011 is the start of that period, that's okay: I'll still be a fan with things to look forward to, like Montero. I'm just praying that they don't trade him.
My Mom keeps saying that I'm not being a good fan because I'm "counting them out already." I'm just being realistic. To win, the team has to have a dominant rotation. CC Sabathia is an ace who we can count on. A.J. Burnett is too inconsistent – actually last year he was consistently BAD. Phil Hughes is a question mark – he needs to prove that he can do it again. Ivan Nova? Yeah…young, we don't know what we are going to get. And Sergio Mitre….now I love the guy, but he's not good enough to pitch every five days for the Yankees. With that, the Yankees won't win. But my Mom keeps on saying "the offseason is not over, maybe they are working on something we don't know about."
Okay Mommy, we'll see…I think you are wrong.
But I hope you are right…

From the article I linked:
"Cody Dragoo, the foreman out at the plant, was a fireman," said Muska, himself one of the city's 29 firefighters. "He knew that plant better than anybody. He knew the dangers. He knew the chemicals there. Did we realize it could cause such an explosion? Yes, we knew it was volatile."
I understand you are blaming the lack of preperation and inspections.
Gee, what's chain of command? My military and law enforcement background isn't enough for you?

Tutoring aims to respond to the individual needs of the pupils within the boarding community and forms a vital part of the College's pastoral care structure through which it is committed to the highest standards of pupil welfare.
All full-time members of the teaching staff ("beaks") are tutors, plus all Graduate Assistants, and the team is supplemented by many experienced non-teaching tutors drawn from the wider college community. The breadth of this team enables the tutee to tutor ratios to be kept exceptionally low, at an average of 7:1.
All tutors receive regular ongoing training and support, both from the HMs in the boarding houses and through centralised INSET. The focus is on pastoral issues affecting adolescents, plus specific academic and curricular matters relevant to Marlborough College.
Tutors are encouraged to access training from expert external providers too, such as that provided through the Boarding Schools' Association (BSA) Certificate of Professional Practice, HMC Professional Development courses, or the Youth Mental Health First Aid or MindEd organisations.
The Tutor's Role
In general, tutors take a friendly, informed interest in the pupils in the boarding house to which they are assigned, contributing to the life of the boarding house through social and extra-curricular activities, as well as through a specific weekly evening duty night.
More specifically, each tutor is responsible for a small group of tutees, providing them with on-going support and monitoring. Tutors act as a sounding board for opinions, as a mediator and confidant, and they interpret and reinforce the standards and values of the College. They promote friendly dialogue and act as common-sense listeners through the sometimes choppy waters of adolescence.
Tutors are the first point of academic monitoring and advice, and have responsibility for following up with tutees each Progress Indicator Report or PIR. The conversations which follow each reporting cycle are critical is assessing progress, encouraging personal reflection and setting individual academic targets at both a short-term, and more holistic level.
In 2011 the College recognised an increased need for a more sharply focused, academically-targeted tutor system, particularly in the Lower and Upper Sixth as pupils adjust to new expectations and begin the critical business of Higher Education planning. To this end, the long-established vertical tutor system was changed to a horizontal one. In the Shell year, pupils can expect their tutor to focus on the business of induction to boarding, on establishing strong and mutually supportive relationships and on "settling in" both socially and academically, as pupils begin to discover their strengths and interests. It is highly likely that the Shell tutor is actually resident in the boarding house, being more readily on hand as pupils find their feet.
As pupils move to the cycle of the Remove and Hundreds, and begin their GCSE studies, it is right that the focus of tutoring changes, to the more specific support needed at this level. This includes help with time management, coursework demands in a range of subjects, the range of skills needed across a typical GCSE profile, targeting and achieving key grades, as well as the process of making choices for Sixth Form study.
In the Sixth Form, pupils typically begin a new tutoring relationship where support can be focused on making the jump from GCSE to A Level or PreU study; on continuing time-management skills, support with independent research and learning skills, and on beginning the process of considering higher education options.
Tutors allocated to different cohorts within the school are able to build up a level of knowledge and expertise associated with the specific academic profile and particular annual or biennial pattern for each cohort of the school.
Given the predominantly academic focus of the Upper School Tutor role and the need to work closely with the academic departments and with the Guidance Department staff, it is anticipated that this role will be fulfilled by teaching members of Common Room. However, members of Common Room will still continue to work alongside Non-Common room tutors in the Lower School.
All house tutor teams contain a mixture of skills, experience and academic backgrounds; and, while pupils are allocated an individual tutor, they continue to have access to all members of the house tutor team for support and advice as required. This ensure that tutors who are new to Marlborough College can be supported in their pastoral and academic work in the boarding houses, primarily by the HM, but also by other members of the house team, such that the care for pupils is made as continuous and comprehensive as possible.
The changes made in 2011 improved and enhanced the pastoral and academic support system with the College. The intention of this overarching system is primarily to support pupils personal individual development at every stage of their school career – and often beyond. Within this, it determines to meet the academic needs of pupils in an increasingly complex, and changing, curricular landscape, at both GCSE and Sixth Form level, and to assist in the crucial business of Higher Education planning.
The strength of the College's system can be measured in the quality and warmth of the relationships in the boarding houses between tutors and tutees, where tutors form a vital point of adult support, guidance and role-modelling through the critical – and often unpredictable and challenging! - adolescent developmental stage.

NFL Draft > 2010 Prospects > RB > Lonyae Miller
Lonyae Miller Scouting Report
|Fresno State Bulldogs
|Jersey Number:
|Height & Weight:
|5'11 - 220 lbs.
2010 NFL Draft Prospect Scouting Report:
Lonyae Miller, RB, Fresno State
The Fontana, California product had a very average career for Pat Hill and the Fresno State Bulldogs. A starter since his freshman year in 2006, Miller went on to post decent numbers all through his time at State. He rushed for 287 yards on 54 carriers (5.3ypc) and 2 TDs in 2006. Then he topped those numbers with ease in 2007 with a banner 609 yards, 133 carriers (4.6) and 7 TDs campaign. Miller set career highs in yards (812 on 120 attempts) and average (6.8) in 2008. Though, he slowed somewhat in 2009 recording just 4 scorers in 68 attempts (354 yards). Strengths: Used size and power well. Shows good initial burst. Can find cut back lanes and can break tackles. Has a good second gear to get outside containment. Has good speed (4.50est) and runs with good pad level and balance. Weaknesses: Doesn't do anything outstanding. Isn't strong enough at the point of attack. Easy to bring down near the line of scrimmage. Gets caught from behind too often in the open field. Is not a creative runner. Despite good speed, he lacks explosiveness. A liability as a receiver. Is a below average blocker who does not use his hand well. Miller is a borderline draft prospect. In fact, it is a good bet he will not be taken in April. Nevertheless, he does have some upside and with coaching and more experience he can contribute as a spot back.

Prediction: 6th Round
Some team will see late round value in Miller despite never being the regular in college. His numbers in limited time arr appealing with a lot of long touchdown runs but hasn't proved he's wortha pick yet.

Pa. Hospitals Report Fewer Heart-surgery Deaths
SCRANTON, Pa. (AP) – Patients undergoing heart surgery are faring better at Pennsylvania hospitals than they did seven years ago, according to a new report.
Mortality rates for patients who had bypass surgery have fallen by more than 20 percent over that time, while mortality rates for those undergoing heart valve surgery went down by more than a third, according to the report from the Pennsylvania Health Care Cost Containment Council.
"Even though the risk profile of the patients we are asked to treat has gotten worse – you know, older, sicker patients – our techniques have gotten better,'' Dr. Russell Stahl, chief of cardiothoracic surgery at Geisinger Community Medical Center in Scranton, told The Times-Tribune.
The report looked at outcomes for 20,164 patients who underwent coronary artery bypass graft and/or heart valve surgery between July 1, 2011, and Dec. 31, 2012, at the 59 Pennsylvania hospitals doing those procedures.
In bypass surgery, a surgeon creates an alternate path for blood to reach the heart because a section of the artery is blocked. In valve surgery, one or more of the heart's valves are repaired or replaced with an artificial one or one harvested from animal or human tissue.
The percentage of bypasssurgery patients who died in hospitals declined from 1.9 percent in 2005 to 1.5 percent in 2012, according to the cost containment council. In-hospital mortality rates for valvesurgery patients fell by as much as 38 percent over the same period, while a lower percentage of patients needed to be readmitted within 30 days for a heart-related infection or complication, the report said.
Even as the mortality rate is going down, surgeons are doing fewer bypasses. From 2005 to 2012, the number of bypass surgeries without valve procedures decreased by more than a third to 8,280. Experts say new techniques and surgeries give health care providers more ways to treat heart conditions.

I had heard this fact mentioned but never saw it in print. so here it is.
The number one reason to expand the membership in the House of Representatives
House Democrats got more votes than House Republicans. Yet Boehner says hes got a mandate?
By Ezra Klein , Updated: November 9, 2012
The political-science evidence is clear on this: Theres no such thing as an election mandate. Theres only what a president is able to get done with the Congress the American people gave him.
But few politicians agree. And so the days and weeks after elections are heavy with arguments about who has a mandate, and for what. The latest debate is about whether President Obama, who ran a campaign explicitly promising to raise taxes on high earners and who beat a candidate explicitly promising to refuse any and all tax increases, has a mandate to raise taxes.
Speaker John Boehner says he doesnt. Listen, our majority is going to get reelected, he said the day before the election. Well have as much of a mandate as he [President Obama] will to not raise taxes.
Boehners logic is, on its face, sound. House Republicans have been as clear in their opposition to new taxes on the rich as Obama has been in his support for them. And House Republicans were reelected. They have as much right to claim a popular mandate as the president does.
Or they would if theyd actually won more votes. But they didnt. House Republicans did the equivalent of winning the electoral college while losing the popular vote.
It can be a bit difficult to tally up the popular vote in House elections because you have to go ballot by ballot, and many incumbents run unopposed. But The Washington Posts Dan Keating did the work and found that Democrats got 54,301,095 votes while Republicans got 53,822,442. Thats a close election 48.8%-48.5% but its still a popular vote win for the Democrats. Those precise numbers might change a bit as the count finalizes, but the tally isnt likely to flip.
What saved Boehners majority wasnt the will of the people but the power of redistricting. As my colleague Dylan Matthews showed, Republicans used their control over the redistricting process to great effect, packing Democrats into tighter and tighter districts and managing to restructure races so even a slight loss for Republicans in the popular vote still meant a healthy majority in the House.
Thats a neat trick, but its not a popular mandate, or anything near to it and Boehner knows it. Thats why his first move after the election was to announce, in a vague-but-important statement, that he was open to some kind of compromise on taxes.

Got to love the dishonesty of Politics.
The reason House (D) got more overall votes than House (R) is because states with huge cities, like California and New York, have more votes than the rest of the nation combined.
It's not reflective of what the actual jurisdictions wanted in each jurisdiction individually. You know, how the election actually works for the House.
But you knew that.
If this factoid meant anything, then we'd have a system where say, California and New York could all vote (D) 100%, and every house memebr would be a (D), and the other 49 States would have to deal.
Thats why we don't have that system, and why this factoid is utterly irrelevant.
Unles you don't really like Democracy in a Republic, of course. Which most (D) don't...
Hilarious hypocricy part II: Gerimandering was awesome when used to get all black districts to get black reps elected. But if it helps (R) it's suddenly the worst evil ever. Lol.

Because Boehner is a closet liberal and a snake.
You will never see Buster blame the voting rights act on lost Democratic seats.
A large number of districts were redrawn to insure African Americans were elected to Congress. This destroyed moderate Democratic seats and helped get more Republicans elected to Congress.
Gerrymandering is a huge problem but it's a decidely two way street.
The House of Representatives needs to be expanded. The first house had one member for every 30,000 American citizens. Today, one member represents nearly 700,000 American citizens.
This clear dilution has played a big role in taking power out of the hands of individual citizens and into the hands of special interest groups. There is no reason why House expansion should not be proportional to population increase.
The country is yours. Quite frankly, you can have it.

The head of a collapsed Ohio credit union has been sentenced to 14 years in prison for fraud and other charges and must repay more than $72.5 million.
53-year-old Anthony Raguz of Mentor was sentenced Monday in Cleveland federal court on his guilty plea to bank fraud, bribery and money laundering charges. Prosecutors say he issued 1,000 fraudulent loans to customers of the St. Paul Croatian Federal Credit Union in Eastlake and accepted bribes and kickbacks. Raguz was the chief operating officer of the credit union. Judge Christopher Boyko ordered Raguz to pay more than $71.5 million in restitution. in addition to the $1 million he previously forfeited. Investigators say the scheme cost the credit union $170 million in losses that were mostly repaid by federal insurance.

Scott Henderson said he would wait until the end of the season to decide whether his company will continue to sponsor MWR's Clint Bowyer. Bowyer's spin with seven laps remaining in the Sept. 7 race at Richmond International Raceway set off a chain of events that led to MWR being penalized for manipulating the finish to try to get MWR driver Martin Truex Jr. into the Chase for the Sprint Cup.
NASCAR docked Bowyer and Truex 50 points each and Truex was knocked out of the Chase. His sponsor NAPA announced Thursday that it was dropping its sponsorship at the end of the year.
"We'll see how the year plays out," Henderson said Sunday just before the Sylvania 300 at New Hampshire Motor Speedway.
Henderson then had one other comment — directed toward NASCAR Chairman Brian France, who added Jeff Gordon as a 13th driver in the Chase last week, declaring that he had the authority to add a driver to what was supposed to be a 12-driver field.
"I've got one thing I've got to say," Henderson said. "There's been a lot of talk about integrity. When the guy who is in charge can say, 'I can do whatever I want, I'm going to do it and I just did it,' I wonder about integrity. I've got to make sure we can win in this sport." NSSN

Director/writer Billy Wilder once warded off composer/lyricist Stephen Sondheim's request to turn his classic 1950 film "Sunset Boulevard" into a musical by proclaiming that it should only be adapted into an opera. Years later, composer Andrew Lloyd Webber got the chance to musicalize Wilder's revered film noir drama about an aging and forgotten silent screen star and the sarcastic screenwriter who becomes her kept man.
Now playing at Drury Lane Theatre in Oakbrook Terrace, "Sunset Boulevard" the musical is certainly an opera-worthy affair in its story of dethroned Hollywood queen Norma Desmond's descent into madness. It's that dark, unseemly side to celebrity that makes the musical one of Lloyd Webber's more mature and complex works, if not one of his most populist.
"Sunset Boulevard"★ ★ ★
Location: Drury Lane Theatre, 100 Drury Lane, Oakbrook Terrace, (630) 530-0111 or drurylaneoakbrook.com
Showtimes: 1:30 p.m. Wednesday, 1:30 and 8 p.m. Thursday, 8:30 p.m. Friday, 5 and 8:30 p.m. Saturday, 2 and 6 p.m. Sunday; through Sunday, March 24
Running time: About two hours, 30 minutes, with intermission
Tickets: $35 to $46; discounts available for seniors and students; dinner packages available
Parking: Free adjacent parking garage
Rating: Some profanity; for teens and older
Unlike many of the composer's other musicals, "Sunset Boulevard" didn't become a long-running global theatrical hit. Though the original Broadway production had plenty of spectacle and star power, "Sunset Boulevard" lacks the family-friendly uplift of "Cats" or the romantic extravagance and heartbreak found in "The Phantom of the Opera."
Still, Lloyd Webber packs "Sunset Boulevard" with a bevy of lushly romantic and much-reprised tunes like "With One Look" and "New Ways to Dream" reminiscent of golden-age Hollywood film scores. And since Don Black and Christopher Hampton's script draws so heavily from the original screenplay (complete with the iconic quotable film lines), "Sunset Boulevard" has one of the most structurally sound plots of Lloyd Webber's musicals.
Drury Lane artistic director William Osetek certainly does "Sunset Boulevard" proud with a fluid and grandiose staging that whisks audiences through the multiple Los Angeles-area locations ranging from the Paramount Studios back lot to Desmond's palatial mansion (the projected typewritten location designations is a nice touch). The behind-the-scenes aspect of Scott Davis' largely black-on-black scenic design is also symbolically emphasized by many scenes appearing to take place behind the iconic Hollywood sign.
Drury Lane's production strengths also stretch to the casting, with many leading Chicago-area actors taking on smaller cameo-sized ensemble roles.
As the faded star Norma Desmond, Christine Sherrill might divide some audiences because she comes off as far too young, glamorous and headstrong in the role (especially in Theresa Ham's plush and expensive-looking costumes). It's hard to believe that Sherrill's Desmond would be considered a fragile, aging has-been at the age 50 (!) as mentioned in the script.
But in the acting and vocal departments, there's no question of Sherrill's strengths. On opening night, she won applause mid-song at the triumphal transition of "As If We Never Said Goodbye."
Equally important is the dispassionate Will Ray as the principal narrator, screenwriter Joe Gillis. Ray adeptly navigates the heavy sung-through dialogue of the role and personified the jaded pretty boy aspects of his down-on-his-luck character. And as Desmond's butler, Max von Mayerling, Don Richard creates just the right creepy and disapproving tone for the far-too-loyal employee with dark secrets.
Dara Cameron makes for a lovely aspiring screenwriter Betty Schaefer, though she's saddled with the late lush duet with Joe called "Too Much in Love to Care," which doesn't dramatically ring true for the characters at that point in the show.
