The E-board called the meeting to have a "heart to heart** and address Shumate's abilities and leadership as president, he said before the meeting. "The settlement was very easy," Shumate, Detroit sophomore, said after the meeting. "We talked to each other for once." The proposed vote of no confidence, which was to be discussed at the regular SGA meeting Monday, was drafted by the Leader Accoutability Task Force, created last week. In fliers it posted across campus last week, the task force questioned if Shumate rep- re_wpntod the students. Although the iHeutitjr of those on the eight- member task force have not been revealed, Shumate said it includes SGA members. The meeting was closed because Shumate expected some of the issues at the meeting to be personal. After the meeting he said some of the issues were "little types of things that may Eric Shumate aggravate a few people.** One of these was about people wanting to be more active in the Judiciary Review Committee, Shumate said. They had the opportunity but did not take it, he said. Problems in the family should be solved within the family, Shumate said. "When you take your business out in the street, it doesn't resolve anything, it just creates more problems," he said. The meeting was in the best interest of the student body, Shu- See SGA Page 14 University Park research firm files Chapter 11 Crowd pickets against privatization Trustees 'applaud' VP Ellertson, voice support By TAMARA SNYDER LIFE Staff Writer Less than two hours after the Board of Trustees publicly cemented its support for Kim Ellertson and privatizing Dining Services, more than 75 people picketed during an informational protest in front of Bovee University Center. Friday's protest, sponsored by the Supervisory/ Technical Association, was the second since the administration's decision to privatize was made in early November. "We're going to fight right down to the wire,'' said Carol Campbell, grill cook in the UC Down Under Club. The board did not respond directly to protesters, but expressed its approval of privatizing food services during the Friday morning trustee committee meetings. Trustee David Brandon said food services is an important issue. "People are complaining about food they haven't even tasted yet and service they haven't even experienced.** Trustee Harriet Rotter said, "The ultimate goal is quality, affordable education. We should do anything that we can to make that happen. "I personally applaud you for it," she said to Ellertson, vice president for Business and Finance, on his decision. "It's something we've been talking about with the board for 1V_ years," Ellertson said. However, union workers and students who protested believe the move to privatize will negatively affect students and employees. This message was reflected in many of the signs protestors carried, some of which stated "Quality People are Leaving CMU," "We Need Leaders Not Bean Counters," "Who Does the Board (of Trustees) See PROTEST Page 7 CMU union workers and students picket against privatization in front off Bovee Universtiy Center Friday afternoon.

By DARIN ERIKSEN LIFE Managing Editor and MARJORY RAYMER LIFE Editor In a last-minute change of heart, the Board of Trustees opted not to authorize a commitment to establish CMU's proposed charter schools when and if they became legally recognized by the state. The proposed resolution, in effect, stated it was CMU's intent to charter 15 statewide schools — which include the five already approved by the board — contingent upon legislation reestablishing the alternative public schools in Michigan and successful contract negotiations with the schools. Public Act 362, the law giving CMU the authorization to charter public school academies, was ruled unconstitutional by Ingham County Circuit Judge William Collette Oct. 19. During the Board of Trustees Academic Affairs Committee meeting prior to the open session, Trustee Harriet Rotter questioned the clarity of the resolution and asked whether it actually chartered the listed schools. Upon discussion, the trustees found that the resolution in effect was a statement of interest and did not actually authorize any Hearing on unfair labor practice suit regarding Dow contractor delayed An unfair-labor-practice hearing regarding privatization of custodial services in the Dow Science Building, which was scheduled for Friday, was postponed. The administrative law judge, who would hear the case, decided to postpone the meeting date, according to the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees Local 1566 council representative. The hearing stems from the administration's decision to contract out Dow*s maintenance services to Ogden Corporation two years ago. The judge has 30 days to reschedule the hearing. charters, so it 'was approved for a vote by the full board. But between committee meetings the board's position changed. "We talked to our attorneys in Lansing and it really would've taken some work to rework the resolution," said Jerold Misner, special assistant to the president on charter schools. "So rather than go forward with it we decided to defer it. That's why the action changed." Misner added that because the wait for a new law might extend until April, there was no reason See BOARD Page 6 Extended Learning discussing administrative restructuring within college By CINDY TROMBLEY LIFE Staff Wnter Restructuring in the College of Extended Learning is expected to bring reassign ments and to modify employee responsibilities, although the exact results remain uncertain.

He said through the restructuring he hoped to make the college more efficient while enhancing its quality for students. The College of Extended Learning has completed about half the first reorganization plan in the metro Detroit area, because the process started during the summer. But the community and public service area has been under reorganization for only two weeks and Ringquist could not predict when it would be completed. Ringquist said information was gathered and the college is in the process of "making decisions about where well go in the future." A series of ongoing meetings are taking place on both restructuring plans, the dean said, and jobs might be affected.

PHOENIX, Ariz. - 2008 Olympic freestyle wrestler Ben Askren (Tempe, Ariz./Sunkist Kids) defeated 2008 Grappling World champion Jacob Volkmann (White Bear Lake, Minn./MMMA) for the 84 kg/185 lbs. title at the U.S. Grappling World Team Trials in No-Gi Grappling on Friday.
Askren scored two one-point takedowns and a four-point back mount to shut down Volkmann.
It was the first meeting between the two in any style. Askren was a two-time NCAA champion and four-time finalist for Missouri, while Volkmann was a three-time All-American for Minnesota, but they competed at different weight divisions.
"I am going to the World Championships. I'm going to try to win. We will see what happens. My Grappling has become a lot better in the last year," said Askren.
Volkmann, an All-American wrestler for the Univ. of Minnesota, returned to repeat as a Grappling World Team Trials champion. The weight classes are different this year, as Volkmann won his World title last year at 80 kg/176 lbs. Volkmann is currently also competing in Mixed Martial Arts.
Askren, who took a year off from wrestling last year to compete in Mixed Martial Arts, is entering his first USA Grappling event. He has experience in Grappling, competing in the Abu Dhabi Championships earlier this year. Askren announced that he will also compete in freestyle wrestling in Sunday's Sunkist Kids International Open.
The U.S. Grappling World Team Trials is the qualifying event for the U.S. team which will compete at the FILA Grappling World Championships in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., December 11-13.
The champions in each weight class will receive funding to compete for the U.S. team at the World Championships. Three athletes in each weight class will compete at the World Championships, with the second and third competitors having the self-fund their trip. A fourth athlete may be selected for the U.S. team through a petition process.
Only one member of the 2008 U.S. Grappling Team which captured the team title at the World Championships in Switzerland won a gold medal in the men's division, Tom LeCuyer (Plano, Ill./Atlas XT/Torres MA) at 66 kg/145.5 lbs.
LeCuyer, who won a bronze medal at the Grappling World Championships in No-Gi last year, defeated talented Dennis Prokopos (Milbrae, Calif./10th Planet Jiu Jitsu), 1-0 in a very competitive battle. LeCuyer gained the only point on a takedown.
Scoring a three-point technique in the closing seconds to break a 3-3 tie for the victory at 60 kg/132 lbs. was Zachary Makovsky (Philadelphia, Pa./Philadelphia Fight Factory), who beat Matt Kucala (Frankfort, Ill./Gilbert Grappling), 6-3.
Other individual champions in the men's division were Alex Pacheco, Mesa, Ariz. (American Top Team) at 74 kg/163 lbs., Ryan Gillespie (San Diego, Calif./Takedown Elite) at 96 kg/211.5 lbs., Kelly Anundson (Columbia, S.C./Black Knight WC) at 120 kg/264.5 lbs. and Mario Rinaldi (Port St. Lucia, Fla./American Top Team) at Open (Absolute)
All seven individual champions in the men's division had a wrestling background. Six of them were college wrestlers: Makovsky (Drexel), LeCuyer (Northern Illinois), Askren (Missouri), Gillespie (Portland State), Anundson (Newberry) and Rinaldi (Delaware State). The other champion, Pacheco, was an Arizona high school state champion in wrestling, but did not wrestle when he attended Arizona State.
The most competitive weight class in the women's division was 63 kg/138.75 lbs. There was a four-athlete roundrobin, with three of the competitors finishing with a 3-1 record.
Winning the weight class based on scoring the most classification points was Shayna Baszler (Sioux Falls, S.D./CSW/Next Edge), who had two submissions during the tournament. Placing second was Miesha Tate (Tacoma, Wash./Victory Athletics) and third was 2004 Olympic silver medalist freestyle wrestler Sara McMann (Gaffney, S.C./Sunkist Kids).
Tate defeated Baszler in their bout, then Baszler beat McMann by submission. In the final round of matches, McMann edged Tate, forcing the division to be determined by tie-breaking criterion.
Baszler placed third at the 2007 Grappling World Team Trials, her last event with USA Grappling. Tate won a silver medal at the 2008 Grappling World Championship. McMann was competing in her first Grappling event.
Capturing the 55 kg/121 lbs. division was 2001 World freestyle wrestling silver medalist Stephanie Murata (Minden, Nev./Sunkist Kids), who was competing in her first Grappling event. Murata scored a pair of submission wins in a three-athlete roundrobin.
Capturing a gold at 50 kg/110 lbs. during the first session was Felicia Oh (Big John McCarthy's Ultimate Training Academy) won in two straight matches over Lisa Ward (Victory Athletics). Oh won the first match, 9-8, and won the second match, 3-0. Ward won a gold medal and Oh won a silver medal at the World Championships last year at different weight classes.
Other individual women champions who were uncontested were Tara LaRosa (Woodstown, N.J./Philadelphia Fight Factory) at 59 kg/130 lbs. and Tori Adams (Colorado Springs, Colo./Sunkist Kids) at 67 kg/147 lbs.
Competition on Saturday will include Gi Grappling for both men and women. Also on the mats will be the Sunkist Kids International Open competition for Greco-Roman and women's freestyle. The Sunkist International concludes on Sunday with men's freestyle.

London's Sophie Hosking is in the Team GB rowing squad
Nick Wright
Sunday, July 29, 2012
Olympic rowing: 1. Great Britain 2. Denmark 3. New Zealand 4. Cuba 5. Argentina 6. Egypt
London Rowing Club's Sophie Hosking and her teammate Kat Copeland won their heat in superb style in the lightweight double sculls at Eton Dorney.
The British double, silver medallists at the 2012 World Rowing Cup in Belgrade, secured automatic qualification to the semi-final with this exhibition of lightweight rowing at its very finest.
Kingston Grammar School alumni Hosking, who hails from Wimbledon, was in the stroke seat, having recently swapped positions with Copeland.
It was a decision that paid off emphatically.
The Brits passed the 500meter mark in second place behind the New Zealand double, who hold the record for the world's best time.
But Hosking and Copeland found their rhythm thereafter, sculling confidently and moving into first place before the 1,000m halfway point.
A light shower of rain broke out as Hosking and Copeland approached 1,500m, but it couldn't dampen the crowd's spirits as the British duo opened up a huge gap on Denmark and the flagging New Zealand double.
This immense performance leaves Team GB with a real medal hope on their hands.

With the uncertainty surrounding the future of Sens Captain Daniel Alfredsson, Ottawa's top six for next year is still very much up in the air. The team hopes that guys like Foligno and Silfverberg can contribute on a regular basis but obviously they'd like to give them some support.
Not surprisingly, a quick Twitter poll I did the other day indicated that Sens fans would love to see Zach Parise brought in to solidify the team's top six forwards. Considering the run the Devils have gone on this off season, it's hard to believe Lamoriello lets the team captain get away but it's obviously a possibility.
Other names mentioned on Twitter include Jiri Hudler, Jarret Stoll and Alex Semin.
Semin is an interesting option on a short term deal but he'll likely be looking for something longer than one year this time around. Dustin Penner, who is having a great playoff with the Kings, is another option but according to Darren Dreger, the Kings have shown interest in retaining his services.
On the back end, the team has quality puck movers but would like to add another all around type defender that can play tough in his own end.
Again, it should come as no surprise but the name mentioned most often by Sens fans continues to be Ryan Suter.
Suter is far and away the best defenceman on the market and will cash in big time this off season. Other names mentioned include NCAA free agent Justin Schultz, who is drawing a ton of interest around the league and Dennis Wideman, who had a decent playoff with the Capitals.
One name to keep an eye on is former St. Louis Blues defenceman Kent Huskins. The Almonte native is coming off an injury riddled season where he played just 25 games but is still a reliable guy in his own end. Could be an affordable option for the Sens this off season.
Which UFAs would you like to see Bryan Murray target this off season?
- The Binghamton Senators are looking for a new head coach now that former bench boss Kurt Kleinendorst has announced he will not be returning to the club next season. Conventional wisdom suggests Luke Richardson is the leading candidate for the job but the Senators will still be thorough in their search. Steve Stirling, who served as an assistant under Kleinendorst, is another viable option. For what it's worth, I think Richardson would be the perfect guy to lead Bingo next season.
- On Tuesday night, Bruce Garrioch tweeted that the Sens have not yet held discussions with UFA to be Matt Carkner. It's important to note that while the two sides have not yet talked, there is still plenty of time to get something done.
- Team Canada has been eliminated from the World Championships after a shocking defeat at the hands of the team from Slovakia. Ranted about this a little bit on Twitter this morning but I have a hard time believing GM Kevin Lowe put together the best team possible. When a guy like Jason Spezza asks to play, you make room especially when the roster already includes guys like Teddy Purcell, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and 18 year old defenceman Ryan Murray. Any Sens fans that were on the fence can now throw their full support behind Team Sweden, led by Daniel Alfredsson, Erik Karlsson and Jakob Silfverberg. They take on the Czechs at 2:15 PM.

Elderly Bothell woman's death ruled a murder
By CARRIE RODRIGUEZ
Bothell Reporter Editor
November 13, 2012 · Updated 4:11 PM
Medical examiners have ruled an elderly Bothell woman's death on Oct. 27 a homicide.
Lila J. Donaldson, 81, died of a blunt impact to the head, the Snohomish County Medical Examiner's office determined Tuesday.
Donaldson was found suffering from severe traumatic injuries and later died at the scene more than two weeks ago.
The woman's 42-year-old daughter, Terie Sue Davidson, was arrested on Oct. 27 and later charged with murder.
The Bothell Police Department received a 911 call at approximately 5 a.m. Oct. 27 from the daughter who requested some medical assistance at a mobile home where she resides located in the 3300 block of 228th St. S.E. in Bothell.
Officers contacted the woman outside her front door. Due to some concerning statements and behaviors, the officers determined they needed to check the welfare of anyone inside the residence.
The officers found the woman's mother inside, who was suffering from severe traumatic injuries. Medics and aid responded to treat the woman, however she died while still at the scene.
The daughter was taken into custody and as of Monday was in the hospital for undisclosed medical issues, said Langford.
Detectives searched the home following the incident.

Two young women are found murdered in Oslo, both drowned in their own blood. Media coverage quickly reaches fever pitch: Could this be the work of a serial killer?
The crime scenes offer no coherent clues, the police investigation is stalled, and the one man who might be able to help doesn't want to be found. Traumatized by his last case, Inspector Harry Hole has lost himself in the squalor of Hong Kong's opium dens. Yet when he is compelled, at last, to return to Norway - his father is dying - Harry's buried instincts begin to take over. After a female MP is discovered brutally murdered, nothing can keep him from the investigation.
There is little to go on: a piece of rope, a scrap of wool, a bit of gravel, an unexpected connection between the victims. And Harry will soon come to understand that he is dealing with a psychopath for whom insanity is a vital retreat, someone who will put him to the test in both his professional and personal lives as never before.
Ruthlessly intelligent and suspenseful, The Leopard is Jo Nesbo's most electrifying novel yet - absolutely gripping from first to last.
©2011 Jo Nesbo (P)2011 Random House Audio
"Intense . . . Nesbø moves the action easily from Hong Kong to Norway, with side trips to the Democratic Republic of Congo, without ever losing the plot's sense of urgency." (Publishers Weekly, starred)
"Nesbø knows exactly what he's doing [in] this gripping, intricately plotted tale . . . Like all intelligent crime fiction, this book is not only about multiple murders by heinous means. It is also about legacies, most specifically about the good and evil, love and hate, passed from one generation to the next. This vivid, violent novel promises to speak on many levels to many readers." (Library Journal)
"Outstanding . . . Probably the best big crime novel you could lay your hands on this year." (BBC Radio 4)
I loved reading for years, but now I've become so attached to Audible I'm finding reading tedious. Is that a bad thing?....
"Simply Fantastic! A great buy!"
I have to say I've enjoyed the Harry Hole series just as much as the Dragon Tattoo trilogy, if not more. The detective work is fascinating and clever. The infighting and inter-dept police politics bring both frustration and humor to this remarkable novel.
Best of all we are blessed to see inside the mind of a genious detective and possibly the best hero I've encountered in any series. Buy this book! You will not regret it.
"A Tough Listen, an Irresistible Series"
I've listened to every available Jo Nesbo Harry Hole book. Each one seems to get more violent and harder to listen to, yet they keep me hooked. The plots are intricate and twisted. Mistakes are made. But I want Harry to be happy, and it seems that he suffers more emotionally and physically with each book. The author is literally dismatling Harry by bits--a finger in the Snowman, his jaw in the Leopard. A brilliant, flawed and doomed hero. How can you resist that?
I hope the books currently unavailable in the US are soon translated; I want to know what happens in between those now available and in the beginning. I'll keep coming back as long as the books keep coming over.
I believe a reviewer should finish a book before submitting a review. What do you think?
"Ah yes.... A Good Mystery but....."
Jo Nesbo is new to me, this is the first book of his I chose to read and now I am glad I found this author. However I now know that I should have read at least Snowman if not some of the others in the series fist, this book last. And although I really liked many things about this book, the plot is a bit convoluted at times and here and there it got a wee bit wordy. The other problem I had, as I did with the Larsson books, are the many names to my American ear that sound quite similar. So at times I found myself lost as far as who was who.
The storyline/plot however is solid and this book made me want more of this author; it held my interest throughout. So the 4stars.
"Could Not Be Better"
Like many readers/listeners, I was captivated by the Millenium Trilogy and powerfully drawn to a whole new cast of talented Scandinavian writers.....Henning Mankel, in particular (couldn't seem to get enough of Kurt Wallander for a while there). The new star author, however, is Jo Nesbo and the action has shifted westwards to Oslo. His police inspector Harry Hole is the bomb. Narrator Robin Sachs is the bomb as well. The best voice for the grittiest character ever. I made the mistake of ordering The Nemesis with someone other than Sachs as narrator. I will be buying the book instead. I am serious.....ROBIN SACHS is HARRY HOLE!!! The Leopard is a spectacular listen. It'll help to listen to the series in order, but it is not a deal killer. Just try Jo Nesbo as soon as you can.
[For whatever reason (vanity, I suppose), I used to not mention that I have devoured a certain book or series via the audio route. Isn't, after all, just listening to a book ridiculously easy fare compared to actually flipping pages? News flash -- I'm over it! As an adult who spends a fair amount of time driving alone, Audible has rejuvenated my commute! I often spend a little extra time in the office parking lot and even in my own carport refusing to turn off the IPod. I am hooked, just like those nice folks in the TV ad!]
"Wow! This page turner kept me up all night."
Great characters. Great story.
Could not put this book down!
The avalanche and the results.
When the father asked the son to help him die mercifully.
Will definitely recommend this book.
"Another great read"
After being introduced to "The Bat" I went on a Jo Nesbo quest and read the rest of the Harry Hole books on Audible. "The Leopard" is the sequel to the "Snowman". I enjoyed the depth of the story, the intricacies of the plot and the powerful characters. Even the bad guys are "good". These two books are very similar although they stand alone. I must admit that I was concerned after reading Sean Barrett's "The Bat" I thought I would be disappointed with Robin Sachs, but I wasn't.
However, I have three negative points about "The Leopard": (a) Nesbo doesn't tie all the loose ends and I can only assume another sequel is forthcoming. (b) Another commentator pointed this out - one has to be very careful listening to the story because the Norwegian names are strange to the North American ear and you can get distracted. (c) I pointed out earlier that I enjoyed the humor in "The Bat". There are a couple of funny lines in "the Leopard" but the essential humor in the face of human atrocity is missing.
In the end though well worth the money.
Diana bookworm
"Gripping and absorbing thriller ride."
You really need to read the Harry Hole series in order..or at least read the books we have access to. It seems the first two are not available in the USA .
Robin Sachs is the perfect narrator....just the right gravelly voice to bring Harry alive for me.
There are so many little references to past books. The character Harry Hole is so sadly familiar. I wish a little happiness could squeeze its way into his life.
I love the way the books enlist ones sympathy for Harry....and then the story will bring me to a wicked feeling of satisfaction when the adversaries are crushed and humiliated. Yeah for the brilliant Harry....now he just needs to get the girl and hold on to her.!
"Non-stop twists"
Could not put this one down. Thought I know the killer 3 different times until another twist came into play. Dark but rich characters.
I love books!
"can't believe how much I like these"
This was my 3rd Nesbo/Harry Hole book and I truly thought they were all great! I blew through this one quickly. This was a good follow on to "The Snowman" but I would recommend you start at the beginning if you thought you wanted to try them out. The crime story is a taut thriller that alone keeps your interest but, at the core, Nebo has created a great character in Harry Hole. Harry is an alcoholic who has his demons but, at heart, is a very good human being and you can't help but relate to him. The setting in Norway is interesting and when you consider the story in its totality, it's absolutely great. Nesbo is now one of my favorite authors and I recommend his books highly.
"very bloody images! Be aware!"
Story kept me at the edge onf my seat but some scenes were a bit too much for me-blood and guts types.

The Sonoraville Recreation Complex held the MLPAA Legends for Youth Camp that included seven former Major League players each running stations on different aspects of the game including baserunning, hitting, fielding and pitching.
The camp was brought to the area by the Gordon County Christian Baseball Ministries, including help from local lawyer Jeff Clements and member of the ministry Steve Cornette, who worked for several years to bring the event.
Former Braves closer John Rocker was one of the guest instructors along with former pros Tom Carroll, Herm Winningham, Greg 'Boomer' Wells, Bob Long, Bob Galasso and Doug Simons.
The camp included an instructional time for the different stations on the field from 10 a.m. – 1 p.m. followed by an autograph-signing session inside the gym at the complex for the youth with ages ranging from 6-16.
"It went very well," said Jeff Clements, a local Calhoun lawyer who helped organize the camp. "In large part, it ran like a top because of the staff here at the rec center, our volunteers and, of course, the (former MLB) players. They really were true professionals.
"The response from the Gordon County and surrounding communities was great, and it was really a once in a lifetime opportunity for these kids."
This Legends for Youth Camp is one of close to 40 run every year across the nation that are put on by the MLB Players Alumni Association with the mission of "promoting the game of baseball to America's youth using positive sports images and personalities."
MLBPAA special events coordinator Tyler Kourajian said it was one of the best camps he has been a part of over the last few years as part of the organization.
"This camp was great," said Kourajian. "To have over 200 kids and it go this well is a testament to the help we had from the recreation complex staff.
"The former MLB alumni were good as always. It's fun to see their interaction with the kids. It's awesome to have the former players that want to help and promote the sport of baseball."
All proceeds from the camp will go to benefit the Legends for Youth. The camp was just the beginning of a busy weekend a the Sonoraville Recreation Complex, as they will host a tournament that started on Friday and ran through Sunday.
The tournament, named the Bob Galasso Classic in honor of Bob Galasso, one of the MLB instructors at the camp that now makes his home in Rockmart, features tournaments in four different age divisions with kids from age 6-14. Proceeds from the tournament will go to benefit the Legends for Youth as well as the Gordon County Christian Baseball Ministries.
Rocker threw out the first pitch of the tournament on Saturday. The camp and tournament were sponsored by Gordon Hospital, Zaxby's, Sherman Hall Trucking, Roland Hayes Farms and Thomas Designs. Big John's Treat Shop also provided food for the the camp staff, volunteers and former MLB Players.
Galasso said he was blown away on Friday by how the camp ran as well as the participation by the kids.
"It was perfect," said Galasso. "We couldn't have asked for a better camp and a better day to do it. It was a little warm, but baseball is a warm weather sport.
"The event was well run by this community. The preparation and organization was great. And the kids up here were very receptive to us. So it wasn't difficult at all to teach them."
Galasso, who now teaches private pitching lessons, added that coming back to do these type camps and clinics after retiring from the game wasn't something he expected to do.
"When I had retired and was in the corporate world, I never thought about doing stuff like this because I really didn't think I'd enjoy it very much to be honest," said Galasso. "But once I started, it brought baseball back into my life, and it's been having that."
The camp and tournament is just another part of the busy summer it's been at the Sonoraville Complex where the Gordon County Parks and Recreation have hosted two Dizzy Dean State Tournaments along with other various baseball and softball tournaments.

Q13 FOX News
Hours after Gov. Chris Gregoire signed the voter-approved law legalizing gay marriage, couples officially began receiving state licenses as Washington became the latest state to allow members of the same sex to marry.
King County opened the doors to its auditor's office in Seattle just after midnight to start distributing marriage licenses to the hundreds of people who had lined up. By 6 a.m., 279 licenses had been issued.
"We knew it was going to happen, but it's still surreal," Amanda Dollente told the Associated Press. She and her partner, Kelly Middleton, began standing in line at 4 p.m. Wednesday.
Among the first to take out a license was well-known sex columnist Dan Savage and his partner, who were already married. Savage, who with his partner co-founded the It Gets Better project for LGBT youth, was the host of an election night party at a popular concert venue and has been an outspoken advocate of the law.
Because the state has a three-day waiting period, the earliest that weddings can take place is Sunday. Same-sex couples who were married in another state will not have to marry again since their out-of-state marriage became valid when the law went into effect.
Washington was one of three states, along with Maine and Maryland, to approve same-sex marriage in the November elections.
Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley on Thursday signed the proclamation confirming that his state's residents approved the ballot question. That allows the counties to begin issuing marriage licenses immediately, though they can wait until the law officially goes into effect Jan. 1. Marriages will begin in the new year.
"We still face tremendous challenges as a nation, but it is my sincere hope that we can come together to meet those challenges with greater respect for the dignity of every individual," he stated.
In Maine, Gov. Paul LePage certified his state's election results on Nov. 29; the law will go into effect 30 days later, Dec. 29.
The three states join six other states, New York, Connecticut, Iowa, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Vermont, and the District of Columbia that previously enacted laws or issued court rulings permitting same-sex marriage.
The latest three states are the first to legalize same-sex marriage by popular vote, signaling a political shift in how the once-taboo topic has become an accepted part of the political discourse.
By a slight edge, U.S. voters said they now support same-sex marriage, a reversal from just four years ago, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released this week.
The poll found 48% backed same-sex marriage while 46% opposed it, with a margin of error of plus or minus 2.2 percentage points. While that is almost an evenly divided electorate, it is a sharp shift from 2008 when a Quinnipiac survey found 55% were against same-sex marriage while 36% were in favor.
"It seems pretty clear that attitudes toward same-sex marriage in American society are changing rapidly," Peter A. Brown, assistant director of Quinnipiac's polling institute said. "While the country remains split on the issue, supporters have come pretty far in the last four years."
Surrounded by couples and community leaders, Gregoire and Secretary of State Sam Reed on Wednesday certified the election results of Referendum 74, which effectively legalized same-sex marriage.
Referendum 74 had asked voters to either approve or reject the state law legalizing same-sex marriage that legislators passed earlier this year. Nearly 54% voted to approve the law that was signed by Gregoire in February but was put on hold pending the outcome of the referendum.
"For the past 20 years we've been saying just one more step. Just one more fight. Just one more law. But now we can stop saying, 'just one more.' This is it. We are here. We did it," Gregoire said.
"I thank the couples joining us here today who have waited far too long for this moment," Gregoire said. "It's been one long engagement. Thanks for waiting! You represent who we are as a state, young and old, public servants, parents, volunteers, and families."
"You are the ones that will show our next generation that yes, it does get better. That we are all in this together. And that there is no more important thing than love."

I always considered the Punk movement a close relation to Communism. I'm curious about the SE community's thoughts about this...
When I was in High School I hung around with a bunch of punk kids, we would all skip class (the one right before lunch) and walk three blocks to Winchells. It varied on different days as to how much money we each had, so we would all pitch in and divide up whatever we got equally, no matter how much money we threw in. Money, pens & pencils, cassette tapes and walkmans, and whatever else we had was pretty much communal property. You would get it back at the end of the day, but you might bring a walkman to school and not see it until school was out. We were all anti-authoritarian too... Mainly anarchist, although some of us just did it as a general act of rebellion and not necessarily with hate for the power structure. An example... One time we got a hold of a screwdriver set. We each took a screwdriver, and went to our respective classes. Whenever we saw something we could use a screw driver on, we'd take out one of the screws. By the end of the day maintenance had a crisis on their hands. Oh, good times! Anyway, what do you Komrades think of this? Is it a form of Communism, or were we closer to something else (Anarchy?) Then for that matter, perhaps Anarchy itself is a form of Communism, or vice-versa?
Punks aren't communists. If you can pin an ideology on them, it's anarchism, since they love chaos at everyone else's expense, until they do something stupid like getting a screwdriver stuck in their head and have to go to the hospital to get treated by 'the man'. You weren't ideologically motivated -just kids running wild and having fun.
"The thing about capitalism is that it sounds awful on paper and is horrendous in practice. Communism sounds wonderful on paper and when it was put into practice it was done pretty well for what they had to work with." -MiG
Yes, I suppose so. We thought we were... 'something' though. Maybe just not sure what.
I haven't encountered any "punks" during my time in school. But I agree that is just typical teenage behavior to be rebellious for no ideological reason.
Considering the fact that swastikas are pretty popular amongst punks I think many of them don't have much of a clue when it comes to politics.
Rebellion and Attention seem to be the main objectives much of the time.
Depends on the punk. I'd venture to guess a large majority of them want to be seen as radical though they might not know where their political associations lie. Other punks are deeply political, spiritual, or religious in nature. It really just depends....
I would say many of the punks I've met in my lifetime were just wasteoids with little thought of the way they are. Many I've met were just nihilists who felt like they got a raw deal early on and are just pushing back against what they feel is an oppressive system they never had a chance in to begin with. Other punks i've met were very committed to do it yourself and helping those around them to become as self-sufficient as possible. Many of these punks push for sexual equality, wealth redistribution, empowering & feeding the poor, providing mental and emotional support to those in need, as well as educating and showing the population a better way of life through cooperation and empathy. Many of these punks are aware of the social and economic systems they currently live in and they're working to change it by helping those around them. There is generally a rejection of authority including religion , political repression, and social norms... these people are anarchists or libertarian socialists and express their political ideology through their actions. As they grow older and decide to raise families, they generally get involved in Union activities and advocate for workers rights, collective action, and putting their efforts and energies into little victories within' the system while teaching the younger generations and letting them take up the cause of radical action that they can no longer afford to partake in. Your example above isn't really communist or anarchist.. the cooperation is there to some degree, but it sounds exclusive to your group, and the action of unscrewing things around school does little to endear people to your political or social causes. If anything those actions are counter-productive to any sort of social or political ideology with the exception of maybe nihilism as your actions put your desires above the welfare and safety of everyone around you. As far as your other question in regard to anarchy and communism, they are both similar as they both aspire to the same goals... They just disagree on how to get to that goal. I think everyone here is some what aware of the split between Stalinism and Trotskyism... but long before that conflict there was another one.. it was a split between Karl Marx and Mikhail Bakunin. After the split Marx went on to become the ideological father of Communism and Bakunin went on to be the ideological father of Anarchism. You can read plenty about it on the internet but suffice to say Bakunin was opposed to a vanguard party or a dictatorship of the proletariat as he felt it would only lead to a degenerate workers state where those in power oppress those below them and instead of moving towards a socialist society only work towards further cementing their power. It's important to remember that Bakunin died 41 years before the Russian Revolution. He like Marx never lived to see a national Communist Society... but IMO he did predict many of the problems that have plagued every communist country that currently does and has ever existed. "Where the state begins, individual liberty ceases, and vice versa." Mikhail Bakunin you can read his works at the anarchist archives: http://dwardmac.pitzer.edu/Anarchist_Ar ... chive.html
@ Redgoast - Yup, this is more what I was referring to. A lot of us (I wouldn't say all, but maybe 85%) were into what CRASS was doing, and there was another local group that had a squat (punk house) that was more or less communal (not sure if that = 'Communist'). They came up with the idea of putting out a vegan cookbook, which you can still buy on E-Bay. (The cookbook outlived the group that put it out.)
I think I was just bored all the time, but you are right - a lot of the other kids were very artistic, some were politically minded. I saw a lot of creative stuff going on...
Food not bombs is a loose organization supported by many punks. IT continues today and may even exist in your town. The vegan cookbook sounds very interesting, it would be cool if they released it on the internet in pdf format for free, or someone bought it and gave it to the food not bomb organizations around the country.
http://www.foodnotbombs.net/ Even if you're not an anarchist or a communist (as you've said you're not) food not bombs is a great organization and they're worth supporting or helping out if you have time and want to give back. They take food that would be thrown out in restaurants and use it to cook vegan meals and serve it to anyone who shows up. When I worked in food service I'd often take about 10-12 loafs of bread and lots of sliced cucumbers and onions on a daily basis to food not bombs, and the local soup kitchen. If it was too late in the evening I'd hand the bread out to people sleeping on the street on the way home. I wish I knew more about communist oriented community outreach groups, but I know of none sorry. Last edited by Redgoast on 21 Dec 2011, 18:17, edited 1 time in total.

It's not too much to look at, it's a typical Zine (photocopies stapled together), but there's a lot of good info & recipes in there. It's worth the money, definitely. http://www.ebay.com/itm/SOY-NOT-OI-HIPPYCORE-KREW-PAPERBACK-NEW-/190613605777?pt=US_Nonfiction_Book&hash=item2c6174cd91 I'm happy as a Free Market type of guy, I have no interest in converting, but I also have no interest in undermining what you guys have going here. I like it too. Communism is interesting on an intellectual level, just not my cup of tea politically speaking that's all.
If you know the person who owns the rights to this zine, you should ask them about donating copies to various info shops and libraries all around the country. I know my local infoshop would be happy to add it to their lending library. I'd be happy to pay for shipping or copy costs... if I can get their permission to copy and distribute it.
Redgoast wrote: Unfortunately I don't... But knowing the HippyCore guys, they probably didn't bother with copyrights simply because they probably would have WANTED people to copy it & pass it around. The guy on E-Bay selling it might know better than I do though, maybe you should ask him about it. HippyCore isn't around anymore, they disbanded, but you might still be able to get in touch with someone that was in the group, I dunno...
Thanks for bringing it to my attention I'll look further into it after the holidays
Maybe I spoke too soon... Google search reveals two interesting URLs that I believe are the same guys. It might pay to investigate further.

The punk subculture contains diverse political opinions, plus those whom are politicly apathetic. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Punk_ideologies An example of an overtly left-wing punk band was The Clash. Also Jello Biafra, lead singer of The Dead Kennedys, has run for public office as a Green. But on the flip side, some punks, such as Johny Ramone are Republican/conservative. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/4509654/ns/politics/t/conservative-punks-its-about-equal-time/ But I also think that it's hard to agree on what exactly constitutes punk. I mean I consider myself to be a redskin, which is a subculture which can include some punk influences too, but some people might still find me to be a poser.

However: The vast majority of you weren't born when the movement began (1976). I was 14 then - and thus a true member of the X-Generation. So - as a first generation punk I can tell you a few things. The movement was originally non-political and nihilistic. The music and lifestile were opposed to the hippie culture and every authority in general. Violence and achieving the maximum shock-effect were paramount. Favourite targets and enemies were the cops and the hippie - Fraggers. You may find all of that juvenile - but it wasn't (at least not altogether). As to 'Anarchy': Yes. But not Anarchy in the political sense - but 'Anarchy' by destroying, fighting in the streets, offensive behaviour, excessive drinking etc. 'Anarchy' and No Future were the main battlecries. Punx had no ideology. It was just: Express yourself in the way you please. Do it yourself. And frag off. So if you see of pics of Sid Vicious and Siouxsie Sioux with Svastika T-shirts: It was just to annoy and insult people... If you wanna understand what 1st generation 'Punk Philosophie' was: Click on the link. It's a short clip - 2 minutes or so, still: It changed my life forever. Johnny Rotten Interview 1977 I won't go into the music and other things. Punk was commercialized pretty soon - but never completely. By 1982 there had been 3 waves of slightly different Punk mini-movements. The music changed - the horizon got broader. The Oi! movement was the beginning of the Skins. 1st generation Skins were non-political also - but the fascists in Britain tried to attract them and that was the beginning of the Nazi-Punks/White Skins. They didn't understand the ideologie but those skins became racist. At about the same time the Red-Skins emerged - they didn't understand the leftist ideologie either... BTW: To this day you can identify the different Skins by the colour of their laces on their Doc Martens: White: Nazi-Skin, Red: Commie-Skin, Black: Non-political skin So: White Skins fought Red Skins, Punx fought both, the Police fought all - and all fought the Police. Those were the days... Musically Punk evolved to or started musical styles such as New Wave, Trash-Crossover, Speed Metal, Goth, Visual Kei (in Japan) etc. So, back to the topic: The Punk 'Anarchy' has nothing whatsoever to do with Bakunin, Kropotkin etc. In those days I myself had a mohawk, and jeez... the procedure to get it spiked up took hours. Now - as an old Punk I have earned the privilege not to spike the mohawk up anymore. The basic haircut however is still the same... Me and my gf back in those days:
Great pic there RS
Bands like the Sex Pistols were basically nihilistic and the message of destruction for it's own sake will always find a degree of appeal as a generation rebels against its elders. Personally, I thought The Clash managed to combine the punk spirit of rebellion with a more politically constructive message than some of their rivals. Though at least the Pistols didn't promote the Tories the way The Jam ended up doing. As far as selling out goes, it's hard to go past P.I.L.'s "This is not a Love Song" for a mercenary statement: Quote: Note the bits in bold which most people seemed to miss. Shigalyov wrote: Whoops!

I've modeled since I was 13 years old, the fashion industry is a huge part of my life and its shaped who I am today. In those many years I've seen changing notions of what 'beauty' is. When I was in my early teens the age of 'heroin chic' was predominant. Malnourished, waif-like girls who were highly androgynous. Now in my thirties I gladly welcome the movements supporting 'real beauty'. Women's bodies come in all shapes and sizes, something that should be celebrated.
The fashion industry is responsible for setting a realistic view of what 'beauty' consists of. In this age of celeb-mania, nothing can govern a girls perspective on their own image more so than the images they are bombarded with on a daily basis from glossy magazines.
However its nothing new to promote the idea of healthy living with exercise and a balanced diet. What concerns me is the power of digital manipulation, and how it creates false ideals for women to aspire too. Some images which can be so heavily manipulated that they are anatomically impossible to achieve.
I don't believe that the general public understands the multitude of sins that can be vanished away with one click of a mouse button. Waist lines can be shrunk, legs can be lengthened, complexions can be evened. The final image of your favourite model or celebrity can be a far cry away from what the original was.
But what does that mean for the viewer? Fad diets, work out DVDS, highly priced miracle creams all in aid of recreating an image that was never real to begin with. With of a surge of interest in 'thinspiration' or 'proana', perhaps its time that the fashion and entertainment industry reveal the truth behind their images? Or are we to ever be following this concept of 'treadmill happiness', always aspiring and aiming for a body that can never be realized, as it simple doesn't exist.

Albuquerque Express
Albuquerque Express | Fast News as it happens in AlbuquerqueThe Albuquerque Express is essentially a local Albuquerque newspaper, but with a national and international perspective, designed to provide readers with a one-stop shop for Albuquerque, national US, regional, and world news coverage, weather and sports information, with live updates on breaking business stories, and what's happening in the financial markets.
The biggest advantage we have is that we are an online newspaper, which means we are constantly refreshing our stories as more and more information comes to hand. Often when a story breaks the initial details are sketchy.
We and our sources around the world work hard to gather more information, verify facts, and provide a perspective of the major stories. Expert opinion often accompanies our articles to better inform readers, and provide a more complete understanding
of the news we deliver.
Financial markets and business reports are regular features as we pin down what's happening, and constantly refresh stock market indice readings, dollar currency rates, and breaking business news reports. Our world sports coverage is a priority, as is our regional news.
We like to think if you're looking for breaking news out of Albuquerque, New Mexico, the United States, or the world, you'll look for it first at the Albuquerque Express.

Concrete paving is nearing completion on the southbound lanes of Garnett Road. The pavement extends to just north of the bridge (foreground), which is where the road will become asphalt and narrow to two lanes. One gap remains to be paved on the north approach, and curbs need to be installed from the gap to where the concrete ends north of the bridge. South of the gap, a sidewalk has been poured on the remaining approach to 41st Street. At right is a sign for Anthony's, which is another major tenant in the shopping center.

To Mrs, Russell, of Mt, Pleasant, under whose manage. ni"ut the entertainment was produced, much credit is due. and the ladies of ihe Congregational church feel trnly grateful for her untiring efforts.
