CROMWELL, Conn. - River Highlands has been the sight of the first PGA Tour win for four of its last six tournament champions.
Roland Thatcher and Englishman Brian Davis would like to make it five of seven.
Davis shot a 6-under 64, and Thatcher had a 65 on Saturday to share the third-round lead in the Travelers Championship at 12 under.
Davis said he's not sure why this tournament, which comes a week after the U.S. Open, has been so good to relative unknowns.
"Obviously, some of the big players aren't here, but there is still a really good field here," Davis said. "It's just one of them things. I've had a couple of weeks off, maybe I'm not as tired as the other guys. But, I'll take my win anywhere. I don't care where it is."
Davis made an early move, shooting a 29 on the front nine with six birdies. Thatcher overtook him with three straight birdies on the back nine and had a one-stroke lead before missing a 7-foot par putt on the 17th hole.
"I executed just really well in that stretch," Thatcher said. "It's easy to say they're easy holes, and that's what you should do, but you still have to execute."
Seventeen other players were within five strokes of the lead entering the final round.
John Rollins, James Driscoll and Stuart Appleby were two strokes back. Defending champion Fredrik Jacobson, who led after two rounds, shot an even-par 70 to remain at 9 under.
Davis said his fast start was helped by the thunderstorms that pushed the finish of the second round to Saturday morning and softened up the greens.
"I didn't even realize I had shot 29," said Davis, who has been a runner-up on the PGA Tour five times. "I was just playing and everything was going right. Then obviously we hit the turn and we had the wind pick up for about three holes and it was playing tough all of the sudden."
The first-time winners at River Highlands include Jacobson last year, Bubba Watson (2010), Hunter Mahan (2007) and J.J. Henry (2006).
But Thatcher said he's not worried about that.
"I figure when I play well, I'll play well and hopefully it's going to be enough to keep the job every year," he said. "This week will go a long way towards that."
Appleby, by contrast, is looking for his 10th tour win after making just one bogey in his round. The 41-year-old Australian said he's happy to be considered the old veteran among the young guns vying for the championship.
"It would be good to get back in the winner's circle, he said. "The only cut I've made has been shaving for a long time. I played better golf when I was a rookie out here, and that's just not right."
Jacobson recovered from a bogey on 17 to birdie the final hole and stay within striking distance as he attempts to join Phil Mickelson, the 2001 and 2002 winner, as the only players to successfully defend a title at River Highlands.
"I'm really happy being three behind going into tomorrow rather than five or six," he said. "I'll take the positives."
Watson also is in the mix, one of four players at 8-under par. He had a 15-foot birdie putt to go 10-under at the 17th hole, but hit the ball five feet past the hole and then missed the return shot.
"It broke about 6 feet, maybe a gust of wind or something, and then when I putted it back up it either bounced or broke right and it shouldn't do that, obviously, because it went one way and then the other," Watson said.
Seventy-seven players spent Saturday morning finishing their second rounds after thunderstorms halted play early on Friday.
J.B. Holmes, who underwent brain surgery last September, finished the morning with 62, the second best round of his career. But he followed that a few hours later with a 75 and was nine strokes behind the leaders.
Camilo Villegas shot a second round 64 and shot 70 on Saturday afternoon. Villegas, who has three top-25 finishes this season, was four behind the leaders.
"It's nice to see my name up on the leader board," he said. "It's been a tough year and it's always good to play good."
Eighty-eight players made the cut at even par. But former UCLA star Patrick Cantlay wasn't among them. He shot a 67 on Saturday morning to finish 2 over in the first tournament of his professional career.
"I struggled on the first day and never really recovered," he said.

Tomlin Discusses Decision To Start Roethlisberger Against 49ers
PITTSBURGH (KDKA) – The Pittsburgh Steelers saw their opportunity to control their own destiny slip through their hands after a loss to the San Francisco 49ers on Monday.
There has been much debate both locally and nationally about the Steelers' decision to let Ben Roethlisberger play despite being hampered by a high ankle sprain.
Roethlisberger completed 25 of 44 passes for 330 yards in the game. However, he threw three interceptions and also lost a fumble, which led to three scoring drives by the 49ers.
Head coach did not make any excuses and gave all the credit to the 49ers saying they played, "winning football."
Tomlin admitted the team just didn't do enough to win.
After the game Tomlin and the players defended decision to let Roethlisberger play.
"He was deemed healthy enough to play. We always like what Ben provides us, not only from his quality of play but his leadership. This guy's a tremendous competitor. We appreciate his efforts. Obviously, we fell short tonight," Tomlin said.
"We expect that from Ben. He's the type of guy that goes out and gives us everything every game. Broken nose, broken thumb, high ankle sprain, doesn't matter. If he can play, he's the type of guy that's going to do it. We knew if he had an opportunity to go out there and play, he would play and he would play hard, and he did. Obviously, he wasn't the same Ben we know, but that Ben is better than most of the quarterbacks in the NFL," Ryan Clark said.
During his press conference Tuesday, Tomlin said there were never any plans to not start Roethlisberger. He said he is a competitor and he did not want to deny the team an opportunity to win the game.
He did not consider pulling Roethlisberger throughout the game, though he did say he wished that they would have played better.
Tomlin said he will assess the injuries during their short week as they prepare to face the St. Louis Rams on Saturday.

Keeping Kids in School and Out of Court Summit
Chief Justice Tani Cantil-Sakauye (right) signs a resolution declaring Dec 4, 2013, "Keeping Kids in School and Out of Court Day", with Justice Richard Huffman, chair of the Blue Ribbon Commission (BRC) on Children in Foster Care, and Judge Stacy Boulware Eurie, chair of the BRC Truancy/School Discipline Workgroup.
The Keeping Kids in School and Out of Court Summit was held December 4, 2013, in Anaheim, California, in conjunction with the Beyond the Bench conference.
A pre-Summit day of workshops and presentations focused on promising interventions, followed by a team debriefing where the Chief Justice provided appreciation for the day's work.
The Summit brought together judicial officers, educators, juvenile justice and child welfare professionals, and community leaders to:
- Spotlight the problem of truancy and school discipline policies that put California's children at greater risk of juvenile and criminal justice system involvement;
- Highlight some successful solutions to the problem; and
- Engage local teams to return to their home counties with a strategy to keep kids in school and out of court.
The summit featured speakers addressing the challenges and promises of a new focus on truancy and school discipline policies from both a federal and statewide perspective to include the Chief Justice, the Superintendent of Public Education, the Secretary of Health and Human Services, and the Attorney General; and local team building activities aimed at galvanizing county teams to establish effective court-based or other programs in their own communities. For more details, view the Summit Agenda.
For more information on the history of the summit, view this press release or listen to the audio excerpt from August 23 Judicial Council meeting.
Below you will find informative handouts developed for the summit's various workshops.
Youth courts, also known as peer, teen, or student courts, provide an alternative approach to the traditional juvenile justice system for first-time, non-violent offenders. A youth charged with an offense can choose to forego the hearing and sentencing procedures of the juvenile courts; instead, he or she agrees to a sentencing forum composed of the youth's peers. Juvenile offenders who participate in the youth court program avoid a criminal record while still being held accountable for their actions. In many communities youth courts are a good option for youth who are truant or involved in other school-based offenses. Youth court has emerged as the fastest growing juvenile intervention program in the United States. In 1994, there were 78 youth courts in the U.S.; by 2013, there were approximately 1,100 youth courts in 49 states with hundreds more in various stages of implementation. In California, the number has grown from 2 in 1991 to more than 70 in 2013. During this session you will learn the steps on how to implement a youth court in your county and help make a difference in the lives of youth. Current Youth Court Directors will present information on four styles of youth courts and how each address a community need and youth who participate in these courts will talk about their experiences and the impacts of these courts on their peers.

A2. Juvenile Justice Jeopardy: Engaging Youth in Critical Thinking About School Policies and Interactions with Adults
Many adults assume youth know right from wrong, legal from illegal; many youth assume they know their rights and how to assert them appropriately with authorities. Often both assumptions are incorrect. The Juvenile Justice Jeopardy uses an age-appropriate approach to teaching youth behaviors instead of rights. Strategies for Youth will showcase two versions of the game. The first one, used in San Francisco, teaches youth how to navigate interactions with peers and authority and to be aware of short and long-term impacts of arrest and court involvement. The second version is being used in Sacramento schools to teach students how to understand school roles, distinguish between school discipline and criminal offending, and understand that certain offenses may be punishable both by exclusion from school and arrest. The game also warns youth about strongly held but often incorrect beliefs regarding their privacy rights in public schools. Routinely 80% of youth who play the game report that 50 to 75% of the information is new to them and that it will make them change how they act in the future.

Research has demonstrated that students with chronic absenteeism are at far greater risk of academic failure. This workshop will present the key findings of that research as well as models for responding to chronic absenteeism. Key stakeholders from a cross-system initiative in Baltimore, Maryland designed to improve school attendance will describe their efforts to engage children and families with school attendance issues and promote a citywide culture that recognizes the importance of consistent attendance for all students. These initiatives involve the child welfare agency, the courts, the schools, and community based organizations working together to improve school attendance.

B2. Transforming Trauma's Effects on the Developing Brain: How Educators, Judges & Other Professionals Can Help to Foster Resilience and Promote School Success
Exposure to adverse and traumatic events in childhood can lead to neurobiological adaptations in a child's developing brain. These adaptations, including a vulnerability to being triggered into survival mode (fight, flight, or freeze) by trauma reminders that are not actual threats, can result in behaviors that interfere with success in school or community settings. As children and youth are punished for being triggered into survival mode, they may eventually become involved in the juvenile justice system. Indeed, research indicates that unaddressed trauma can contribute to the "School to Prison Pipeline." These difficulties can be overcome, however, by creating trauma-informed systems (e.g., educational, judicial, legal, justice, child welfare) that are more safe and supportive of the needs of children and youth exposed to toxic stress. Trauma-informed systems take into account how chronic stress and trauma affect everyone in the system, and promote resilience not only for children, youth, and families, but also for the professionals who work with them. This workshop will explore the neurobiology of trauma, its implications for systems working with children and youth, and effective approaches to mitigating traumatic stress that can be carried out by anyone who interacts with children and youth who have experienced trauma.

B3. Truancy Court and Model School Attendance Review Board Programs for School Attendance Improvement
California has explored a number of means to effectively address students with chronic attendance problems in a manner that will benefit the child and his or her family. Truancy courts are collaborative courts that seek to intervene with families after other less intrusive interventions have failed. School Attendance Review Boards (SARBs) were created by statute to provide intensive guidance and coordinated community services to meet the special needs of pupils with persistent school attendance problems or school behavior problems. In establishing SARBs, the Legislature intended to develop new ways of coordinating school, community, and home efforts to deal with school attendance or school behavior problems. SARBs were designed to maximize the use of all available resources, including legal resources, and divert students with school-related problems from the juvenile justice system. This session will explore how truancy courts and SARBs in some areas of the state have been successful in collaborative efforts to enforce compulsory education laws and reduce the number of dropouts from the public school system.

Funneling of students out of school and into the juvenile delinquency system perpetuates a cycle known as the "School-to-Prison-Pipeline." This is a phenomenon that disproportionately impacts court-involved youth. This presentation explores some of the causes and consequences of this cycle, as well as examining in-depth some of the interventions developed to help break it. First, it will focus on the issue at the school level. It will give tips on identifying indicators of the need for intervention such as poor academic performance and behavior problems resulting from underlying disabilities, abuse and trauma. It will then offer tools for addressing those needs such as special education assessments and services, and substantive and procedural rights for school discipline proceedings. Then, the presentation will offer information and examples of interventions developed by the courts in Los Angeles County to help break this cycle.

Foster youth are often faced with frequent changes in home and school placement, forcing transitions in teachers, peer groups, and homework routines, along with missed school days. Many are placed in inappropriate classrooms, lose school credits, and do not receive special education services or academic supports when needed. In addition, many children in foster care do not have an adult who is consistently and actively supporting their educational success. The consequences for these youth are devastating, and include higher rates of absenteeism and drop-out, higher rates of school discipline, and very low rates of college matriculation. Later in life, foster youth experience an increased likelihood of homelessness, incarceration, and unemployment. This session will focus on the educational challenges that children in foster care face, and strategies currently being employed in Santa Cruz County to help support the educational success of this population. FosterEd is a collaboration between the presenters' agencies and several community partners focused on improving the educational outcomes of children in care.

A solution-focused training based upon the experiences and reflections of judges, educators and practitioners in education, child welfare and juvenile justice. The training will include discussions on how implicit bias results in the use of racially coded language found in court reports and student records, why terms such as willful-defiance are not race neutral, how stereotypes can distort perceptions of risk, disruptive behavior or delinquency, and how biases can result in ambiguous charges that can affect decisions at each decision point.
The training is organized around the following three learning objectives: 1.To explain how stereotypes and colorblindness work in tandem to preserve and camouflage racism in contemporary society. 2.To help participants identify bias in individual and institutional decision-making. 3. To teach participants how to develop intervention strategies to reduce and eliminate bias.

Teens have been confounding adults, in every culture, throughout time. Judges are burdened with helping teens become accountable while at the same time trying to be developmentally attuned to what teens are actually capable of understanding. This presentation focuses on cultivating "developmental competence" for judges and other adults working with teens. Dr. Bostic will clarify seismic brain changes that occur during adolescence that drive their behaviors and provide opportunities for intervention as well as clarify why interventions used with adults are not effective with youth.

D2. Introduction to Restorative Justice (RJ) and Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) Models of Intervention
Many school districts across the county are implementing alternative approaches to improve school climate and obviate the need for exclusionary disciplinary practices including suspension and expulsion. Implementation of these alternative approaches has had positive impacts on these schools in terms of reducing the number of behavioral incidents, the need for suspensions and expulsions, and led to improved attendance and academic performance. This workshop will provide an overview of the basic features and benefits of two of the key promising approaches: Restorative Justice (RJ) and Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) as well as the findings about the impact of implementation of these interventions.

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- For Bills fans filling out their programs: Yes, folks, T.O. will be No. 81.
The Buffalo Bills said Thursday that newly signed receiver Terrell Owens will be getting his familiar number, and that second-year receiver James Hardy will be switching to No. 84.
Hardy, the team's second-round draft pick out of Indiana last year, wore No. 81 during his rookie season.
It's unclear whether Hardy will be compensated by Owens to switch numbers. In the past, veteran players joining new teams have been known to pay for or provide compensation for the right to switch numbers.
Owens has worn No. 81 throughout his NFL career, but wore No. 80 in college at Tennessee-Chattanooga.

Gavin is not alone in his experience or his travel needs. A research study of over 2,000 travel consumers was conducted last year, by PhoCusWright. The goal was to enhance the knowledge and understanding of potential U.S. travelers who have recently traveled to Asia or are interested in traveling there. Some of the key findings were that China's landmarks are its most compelling feature. China came out on top of all Asian destinations for its history and culture with a number of bucket list destinations, like the Great Wall and the Forbidden City. Nevertheless, just "seeing" landmarks can become quickly boring for many travelers, especially younger ones. Therefore, China wants to let Americans know what other more spiritual, active, and contemporary experiences they can find in China. This includes getting up close to the attractions on a bicycle or trying their hands at dumpling-making in a local's home, or practicing morning tai chi in the park with those who live there.
This need for both experiential travel and the combining of traditional and modern cultural touch points is the backbone of the new China National Tourist Offices' (CNTO) sales and marketing campaign, China Like Never Before: Ancient Treasures, Modern Wonders. The campaign includes a new logo, both video and print media, and a sales aspect that involves the creation of new tour packages.
Creation of a new logo was an essential element of the new strategy to broaden China's appeal to U.S. travelers and enhance the country's brand. The logo combines two iconic buildings in China. The ancient Temple of Heaven in Beijing represents the 'A' in China and the Canton Tower in Guangzhou, China's tallest building, represents the 'I.' Thus, explains Mr. Yaping Xue, director of the China National Tourist Office, even "our new logo evokes a sense of both traditional and contemporary China. This is enhanced further with the tagline 'China Like Never Before,' which highlights the new travel experiences and communicates an urgency to 'go now.'"
The promotional video (www.youtube.com/watch?v=ADDZvDCNUfw&feature=youtu.be) features opinions and observations by respected public travel experts Arthur Frommer and Peter Greenberg. These experts point out that travelers want a "genuine authentic experience combining the old and the new where they can 'one-up their friends.'" They want to "expand their personal horizons," in terms of "culture, culinary, and living like a local." They want to have in-depth, modern culinary experiences in a city, such as Shanghai, which Greenberg notes has restaurants that "can do battle with any restaurant in New York City." Frommer adds that China has only begun to see the beginnings of tourism, and while "it's quickly becoming the single most visited destination on earth, the possibilities are greater than that!" The video presentation was created to explain China's new brand identity. It was initially presented to the U.S. travel trade and is now being adapted for the travel industry in China to provide a better understanding of what today's U.S traveler is looking for.
In September 2013, a U.S. trade campaign of 4/C, full page ads in print media and multi-size banner ads on-line was launched to promote the ancient AND modern aspects of travel in China. The campaign targets select markets by using dramatically juxtaposing images, such as the ancient Great Wall shown alongside the futuristic Bird's Nest -- the national stadium built for the Beijing Olympics. Another example, with the headline "World Heritage Sites. World class shops," depicts magnificent rice terraces contrasting with a happy American shopper in Shanghai. A third shows that the ancient Terra Cotta Warriors can be reached by advanced high-speed trains. And tranquil river boating is paired with young visitors bicycling in a bustling urban area -- in this case promoting "soft adventure" trips.
The objective is to attract more Americans to go off the beaten path and enjoy a wide range of experiences. Each advertisement is aimed at both first-time and repeat visitors. A consumer campaign based on similar themes is planned for next spring. It will highlight the fact that China's modern infrastructure makes it easier to explore this fascinating country and meet the warm and welcoming people of China: Comfort does not need to be sacrificed for an exotic experience. And also that China's modern cities create a whole new level of attraction.
New Tour Development
Most recently, the CNTO has been primarily focused on working with tour operators to assist them with developing a wider range of packages for U.S. travelers. The CNTO has supported the trade for many years, but this strategic initiative is to build awareness of the new travel opportunities in China that will enable travel agents to offer their clients -- even those who have already been to China -- new experiences. In addition, first time visitors will have an opportunity to visit the "must see" destinations, but with a more in-depth perspective.
New packages are being introducedby many tour operators, such as Wendy Wu Tours, General Tours, MG Tour Co Inc., Isram's Orient Flexi Pax, and Ritz Tours. These new offerings are among several developed to provide a great start to introducing potential visitors to the multitude of other experiences they can enjoy in this vast country.

At the same time, the campaign informs travelers that they can also visit any or all 43 of China's World Heritage sites and behold the nation's magnificent, often unexpected natural beauty.
Added to this, China now has a huge number of new luxury hotels, with over 3,000 four- and five-star properties. Whatever your clients are looking for, they are sure to find it in China.
In rediscovering its past, China maintains its majesty, mystery, and lost-in-time ancient wonder that tourists still expect, but at the same time, it truly is, as the promotional video proclaims, "a dazzling new world."

A sizable and passionately engaged audience for your film provides the proof that may tip the scale in your favor for a traditional distribution deal or could provide opportunities for raising additional funds from donation sites to help realize a self distribution plan. But it takes a clear marketing strategy and plan to gather an audience. Many independent filmmakers still are not adequately prepared for the time, effort and money it will take to raise awareness for their films and lack the knowledge to utilize today's digital tools to reach their audience.
The Film Collaborative and Atlanta Film Festival in cooperation with Slamdance Film Festival are committed to helping independent filmmakers be prepared for a successful film release by offering a one hour film marketing webinar.
During the hour, filmmakers will learn:
-Identifying the audience of your film
-Knowing the difference between a mass, a niche and a core audience
-Researching where your film's audience spends their time and how to approach them
-Itemizing the elements of a marketing plan
-Items to include in a marketing budget
-Creating or collecting content elements to use on social channels and for distribution partners
-Creating your film's website
-Collecting email from your audience
-Using the main social media channels
-Using advertising and publicity as part of an integrated marketing effort
There will a 30 minute question and answer period following the formal presentation. The session may be attended by anyone with an internet connection, regardless of their location in the world.

Australia's new counterterrorism ambassador has singled out the growth of jihadist groups in Africa as a key concern in the post-Bin Laden era, as global terrorism continues to evolve and morph.
Australia has led a successful move in the United Nations Security Council to choke off funding to Boko Haram, the Nigerian Islamist army that sparked global outrage by kidnapping of more than 200 schoolgirls.
Miles Armitage, named recently as Australia's ambassador for counterterrorism, said that while al-Qaeda had been battered in the past decade, ''indiscriminate attacks on Westerners'' were still a goal of some jihadist organisations.
''The nature of the threat is evolving and … whilst the capability of al-Qaeda in Afghanistan and Pakistan has definitely been degraded … the threat of particularly Islamist terrorism has become more dispersed, less predictable, and now we're dealing geographically with a number of other areas - eastern Africa, western Africa and the Maghreb,'' he said.
Mr Armitage, who was previously ambassador to East Timor, said the Middle East remained a key area, as did Asia.
He said while the fragmented nature of Islamist groups meant attacks were usually on a smaller scale, plots such as the murder of more than 60 people in Kenya's West Gate shopping centre were ''a pretty awful reminder to us all that the big attacks are not behind us''.
Groups in Africa include Boko Haram, al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb in the continent's north and Al Shabab in Somalia.

STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) has become a large part of the current GSUSA's agenda, with one troop of girls going as far as developing a prosthetic hand for a child born without fingers. All of these developments are occurring under current GSUSA Chief Executive Officer Ana Maria Chavez, the first latina CEO in Girl Scouts history. Chavez has also set out to diversify the Girl Scouts considerably by reaching out to more African American and Latina girls. Though Girl Scout enrollment is down overall, it's impossible to deny Chavez's profound effect on existing troops when you hear a room full of girls talking about their goals of becoming Apple engineers and obstetricians.

5 lessons from the most viral video ever
While you shouldn't attempt to replicate KONY 2012's idea, you should ensure your video includes these elements.
Monday, March 5th saw the launch of the most successful viral marketing campaign in history. Nonprofit organization Invisible Children published the KONY 2012 campaign video, taking the social media world by storm.
The day the video launched, it seemed nearly everyone was posting it on every social media platform. In just one week, the video reached more than 100 million views on YouTube and Vimeo combined. It is now the fastest growing video of all time.
The video sparked intense political debate but, whether you agree or disagree with the message, no one can argue the campaign's marketing is anything but successful.
To help those who want to tell stories on social media, we spoke with Pat Walsh, co-founder and CMO of StayClassy.org, the social fundraising platform behind Invisible Children.
Here are five lessons brands can take away from Invisible Children's monumental social media campaign:
1. Stories matter.
The success of the KONY 2012 video sparked significant criticism, but there's no questioning the primary lesson from Invisible Children's experiment in social activism: Everyone, like every brand, has a story. Those who tell it best, win.
Invisible Children turned its eight-year mission into a compelling story that pulled at the heartstrings of millions. It told the story in a way nearly everyone could understand, regardless of age or knowledge.
Some argued the video was too naive and oversimplified a complex problem. But in order for Invisible Children to create a video that could keep the audience's attention and spark a worldwide movement, the story had to be gripping and easy to understand.
2. Don't try this at home.
Most people who yearn for viral success try to replicate someone else's successful idea, but this is no nyan cat. Invisible Children worked on the KONY 2012 video for nearly a decade, and the depth—and 30-minute length—of the story makes it difficult to replicate.
"I have no doubt that the success of the video (seen by more people than any single TV show this week) will lead many organizations astray in the naive belief that they can emulate this one," says Seth Godin. "If a non-profit board decides to spend precious resources on a video hoping it will change the world in three days, I think they're misguided."
That's not to say brands, particularly nonprofits, can't create a groundswell of support that affects change.
"One of the greatest effects of KONY 2012 is that it has inspired people to get involved and champion the causes they're passionate about—whether that's removing a third-world warlord or supporting something more personal to them," Walsh says.
3. Define clear goals.
Invisible Children's success put the nonprofit under a microscope. Alongside its success, Invisible Children faced harsh criticism over a wide range of issues, including the video's effectiveness.
While the video ends with a clear call-to-action to purchase action kits, Invisible Children openly acknowledges its overarching goal as a nonprofit—and the goal of the KONY 2012 video—is to raise awareness. No one can argue the video hasn't accomplished that, but opponents say that regardless of views, the video is pointless "slacktivism." Viewers watch, share and go back to their lives feeling like social activists.
But the content itself shouldn't bear the burden of return on investment. You can quibble about how much money the video brought in—Invisible Children ran out of $30 kits—but that's not the point. The point is that a vast majority of people now know about the issue and who Joseph Kony is. He's on the cover of Time magazine. Invisible Children set out to make him famous, and that's exactly what the video achieved.
4. Give your audience clear calls-to-action.
Compelling content can be very effective, but if you don't give your audience a clear call-to-action, your audience's journey with your brand may end.
Near the 22-minute mark in the video the narrator proclaims, "We know what to do. Here it is. Ready?" The final seven minutes lay out Invisible Children's goals and specifically what it wants the audience to do:
- Order an action kit.
- Donate a few dollars a month.
- Reach out to culture-makers and politicians to show you care.
- On April 20, paint your town or city with the posters and stickers in the action kit.
Not everybody is willing or able to be deeply involved in an issue, but if you give your audience easy ways to contribute to a project, they might become more passionate than they thought they were.
Sometimes asking isn't enough. You have to make it very easy for people to do what you want. If you want them to share your infographic with their social networks, make sure there are social sharing buttons near the graphic. If you want people to donate, show them exactly where to do so, and even ask for a specific amount.
The KONY 2012 site makes it easy for people to tweet culture- and policy-makers. There is a pre-written tweet, which provides a thank-you if they've already tweeted.
Will this viral video translate to real-world action in time for the declared group action date of April 20?
"I think it already has," Walsh says. "Invisible Children has brought an elevated level of awareness and a new call-to-action to a long-standing silent war. As a result of the campaign, media organizations like NBC Nightly News are sending teams to Africa to further investigate and build awareness around the issues. Politicians are coming out in strong support of taking action. Invisible Children's awareness tactics have led to tangible action in the past, and I think this latest campaign has the momentum to make their largest impact yet."
5. Ensure your audience members see themselves in your story.
When people see themselves in your story, the burden to persuade disappears. The KONY 2012 video had a variety of characters who made it easy for viewers of all ages to relate to.
When we see the narrator's son, we see our own sons and daughters. When college kids—the primary target audience—see the video, they see hundreds of other kids who look like them painting the streets with Kony posters.
You can't do this for every audience, of course. This video got a negative reaction from those in areas of Uganda where Kony's reign was the worst. That's an understandable reaction from those who lived through suffering, but to be fair, they weren't the target audience.
Invisible Children targeted an audience who could immediately respond to the call-to-action to share, reach out and donate. Looking at the amount of shares the video has, it obviously resonated with the target audiences.
Global storytelling has a long tail. If Rebecca Black is still getting work, then we can expect Invisible Children's message to be around well into 2013 and beyond. This widespread success and awareness may motivate politicians to act. It's not perfect, but the story is too effective to ignore.
If you want to tell a story, the lesson to remember from the Invisible Children campaign is to make sure your story is compelling to your target audience. Your brand may not create the next viral sensation, but that doesn't mean you don't have your own story to tell. You simply need to determine how to tell it in a way that captivates and compels your audience to share.
Why do you think the KONY 2012 video went viral so quickly? What other lessons does the video provide?

Why become a peer observer?
Dr. Amanda Ellis welcomes you to the peer observation process.
Dr. Amanda Ellis, Associate Commissioner, Office of Teaching and Learning
Read what Sarah Fish, peer observer, has to say about her experience:
"I'm ... putting into practice all that I have learned through my observations. This hands-on learning has been more beneficial than my graduate programs and professional development put together. I've been able to work alongside other educators and have real and honest conversations about what constitutes good teaching. Good teaching is not a formula; it is not cookie cutter. It is hard. It is rewarding. And good teaching—effective teaching—looks different in every classroom." Fish, Sarah. (2012, Jul 6). What I Learned about Teaching from Observing My Peers [web log post]. Retrieved from http://www.impatientoptimists.org/Posts/2012/07/What-I-Learned-About-Teaching-from-Observing-My-Peers#.Vw5yhz_2bcE.
Perceptions of peer observation:
Statistics reveal that there is a need for deeper professional learning regarding the integrated use of peer observation.
In the Measure to Learn and Improve survey (February 2015),
While the data above reveal a strong need for intentional structures and systems of support for peer observation, many examples exist where peer observation is being used as a valuable professional learning experience.
Teachers who have engaged in peer observation practices grounded in using the process as a tool for growth and improvement have evidence to support the power of peer observation to enhance practice and increase student learning.

Toasty day puts Seattle-to-Portland cyclists on hot seat
This year's Seattle to Portland Bicycle Classic – commonly called STP - passed through Thurston County as summer temperatures flirted with 90 degrees Saturday.
The annual 202-mile bicycle ride attracts nearly 10,000 participants from all over the Northwest. Several community organizations hosted "mini-stops" along the way, offering everything from first aid and Honey Buckets to mechanical support and snacks.
The Yelm High School FFA sponsors a mini-stop every year at McKenna Elementary on Highway 507. Located 69 miles into the ride, the mini-stop is one of Yelm FFA's top fundraisers and brings in about $3,000 for scholarships and more, said board treasurer Faith Fredrickson.
"All the money that we earn goes directly back to these kids," she said.
Yelm FFA advisor Elaine Lewis, who also teaches agriculture, manned the first-aid station Saturday as cyclists came and went all day. The injuries were minor Saturday morning, said Lewis, noting that in the past, some riders have needed an ambulance.
"So far, the worst has been some nasty road rash," she said. "If we keep it down to scrapes and cramps, we're good."
In Yelm, the riders caught a 14.5-mile trail that took them through Rainier and into Tenino. Dennis and Anne Wilson of Eatonville waited for their future daughter-in-law, Alana Demarco, and her mother, Charity, to arrive at the Yelm stop. The couple posted signs near the entrance with words of encouragement like "Way to go!"
"They started early to beat the heat," Anne Wilson said while watching the steady stream of cyclists along the road.
One of those riders, Seattle resident Rick Agress, was looking for a place to wet his hot head. He has participated in the ride since 2005.
"It's the hottest one yet," he said Saturday morning. "Usually it's not this hot until you hit Centralia."
Now in its 35th year, the ride is organized by the non-profit Cascade Bicycle Club. Riders can complete the course in one day or two days. The fastest riders typically cover 20 miles in an hour, said Anne-Marije Rook, communications director. The ride starts at the University of Washington's Montlake parking lot in Seattle, and ends at Holladay Park in Portland, Ore.

Prospect Q&A: Archer bounces back
Rays prospect recovers from rough first half to reach Triple-A
By Robert Emrich / Special to MLB.com | January 5, 2012 5:25 AM
Something clicked for Archer in the second half, and he showed the form that made him a Southern League All-Star in 2010. The 23-year-old right-hander went 5-4 with a 3.45 ERA in 11 starts for Montgomery and earned a late-season promotion to Triple-A Durham, where he allowed just one run while fanning 12 batters in 13 innings over two starts.
MiLB.com: What was the biggest difference in the second half for you?
Chris Archer: At the beginning of the season, I think I was trying to do too much and got out of character. I was trying to make too many perfect pitches instead of letting my stuff just play in the strike zone. I was trying to make perfect pitches like a back-door slider and when you try to become too fine in this game you make little misses. I just said, "I'll go back to being myself."
MiLB.com After being drafted by Cleveland in 2006, Tampa Bay was your third organization in four seasons. Does that bother you?
Archer: It doesn't bother me at all, especially because the guys I've been traded for have been top-notch guys. It's always a little bittersweet but sweet that another team wants to trade for you.
MiLB.com After enduring a rough first half, how gratifying was it to turn things around and reach Triple-A?
Archer: It was awesome. My main goal wasn't to finish the season in Durham -- obviously I wanted to get a September callup -- but the way I started I could not have had a better finish. Since I'm from the Raleigh, North Carolina, area, I was able to come home and pitch a few times in front of my family, which was awesome.
MiLB.com During the season you developed a friendship with Matt Moore, how did that come about? Did you guys talk about his recent contact extension?
Archer: We talk a few times a week about different things. We built a relationship that expands outside of just baseball. There's a few situations that we've been through in life outside of the baseball diamond that we converse about, and we definitely stay in touch during the offseason. He told me a little about it before -- he didn't give me too many details. Whatever he told me about I said, "You're one of the top pitchers in baseball, and you definitely deserve it." Matt's the kind of guy who definitely deserves what he got, and hopefully he'll be in Tampa for a long time.
MiLB.com Do you have any kind of ritual you go through before taking the mound?
Archer: I stick with a routine, I don't have any rituals because you know something gets thrown off, and you have to make up for it in another way. I don't eat anything specific, but I try to keep my same routine and whatever city I'm in and adapt accordingly.
MiLB.com What are your favorite things to do on a day off?
Archer: Days off in season -- just relax, chill, read a little. You get a good chance to call your buddies back home and catch up with them. You get to the ballpark around 2 or 3. You don't get out until 10 or 11, and they're usually asleep, so that's a good time to catch up with friends and family.
MiLB.com What was the last book you read?
Archer: The last book I read was Failing Forward by John Maxwell. I read it a few years ago and, after the season, I thought it would be a good book to read. It shows that you can still go through ups and downs but stay consistent. I wanted to refresh the things I read and apply it to this past season and go into the upcoming season.
MiLB.com Ending the season at Triple-A puts you right on the cusp of getting to the big leagues. What is the key for you entering 2012?
Archer: Staying consistent and getting better. Obviously, I finished well last year, but there are things I can do to get better. Continue to grow as a pitcher, get experience and stay consistent, and hopefully I can contribute to the team in Tampa this year.
MiLB.com What would you be doing if you weren't playing baseball?
Archer: I would say I would probably be in college or just finishing up. I don't know anything definite because I focus my attention on baseball, I don't do what-if games. If something happened that I couldn't play baseball, I'd address it then. Probably something to help people. Whenever it comes to helping the community, I'm all about it. I try to do things here in my hometown to help people out, and right now it's baseball. Whatever craft or trade I do, it wouldn't be a selfish thing, I don't know what it would be, but it would be geared towards helping others.
MiLB.com In the past, you've talked about your mentor. How did that relationship come about and how does it benefit you?
Archer: [Ron Walker] actually coached the junior varsity baseball team when I was a freshman in high school. He was the first person outside of my parents to instill the fact that I was good and that I had potential. From there, he went from coach to helping me work out. Then we got close -- I looked at him like a brother figure, and then it led him to being my mentor. I see him every day when I'm at home, but the biggest aspect he helps me with is the mental aspect of life. He played baseball when he was younger, but the way he helps me the most is with life experience. I use him as a mental coach more so than a baseball coach, but he still helps me with some baseball things and some lifting. But I would say our relationship is more like brother/mentor.
MiLB.com What's your favorite park to play in as a visitor?
Archer: Whenever I went back and played at Tennessee [in 2011], it was kind of a unique situation. It was early in the season, they were playing all the highlights from the season before, and I noticed that I was in a few of them. Going back and seeing the fans, the coaches and players that I played with last year was cool. Tennessee is one of my favorite parks to play at, and going back as the opposition made it that more interesting.
MiLB.com: What player did you grow idolizing?
Archer: When I was really young, it was Ken Griffey Jr. when he was with Seattle. When I got a little older, I really liked Torii Hunter. When I got to high school, I really liked Mariano Rivera's demeanor on the mound. As I got older and knew that I was going to be a pitcher, I really focused on Mariano Rivera's demeanor and how he approaches the game.
MiLB.com: What was the last movie you saw?
Archer: Mission Impossible 4, the newest one (Ghost Protocol). It was pretty good, good action, exciting scenes, and the technology they use is pretty cool. I enjoy catching a movie now and then, but it's pretty tough during the season.

The Association of Surfing Professionals (ASP) North America Pro Junior Series season opener saw local Floridian Evan Geiselman (New Smyrna Beach, FL), 16, clinch the ASP Grade-3 Ron Jon SI Pro presented by Skullcandy while young Hawaiian talent Malia Manuel (Wailua, HI), 16, won the ASP Grade-2 Skullcandy Junior Pro in one-to-three foot (1 metre) surf at Florida's iconic break of Sebastian Inlet.
With qualification for the inaugural ASP World Junior Tour (WJT) on the line via this year's regional series, the early season ratings' lead picked up by Geiselman and Manuel could prove vital in their chance to battle the globe's best for the title of ASP World Junior Champion.
Geiselman, who was a runner up at the ASP Grade-2 Billabong Pro Junior at Sebastian Inlet in 2008, proved to be untouchable at this year's Ron Jon SI Pro event, marching to victory after getting a slow start in the final to best Hawaiian standout Keanu Asing (Ewa Beach, HI), 16, and Californians Gabe Garcia (Carlsbad, CA), 19, and Chase Wilson (Newport Beach, CA), 18.
"The final started off slow for me and I hadn't caught a wave after the first five minutes," Geiselman said. "Then I caught two quick waves and had to play the dirty work and sit on second in the last five minutes."
After several close finishes in ASP Pro Junior events, the Ron Jon SI Pro victory marks the first ASP Pro Junior Series win for the young Floridian, and clinching the event close to home made his inaugural win that much more memorable.
"I'm really stoked and don't even know what to say," Geisleman said. "To win this contest so close to home with so many great Pro Junior surfers from up and down the East Coast, California and Hawaii, it means a lot."
The crucial ASP Grade-3 points earned by Geiselman also establish that talented goofy-footer as the early season ratings leader of the pack of surfers looking towards qualification for this year's ASP WJT.
"It's a great start to my year," Geiselman said. "This is one of the bigger contests of the year since it's a Grade-3 and it gives me some momentum going into the next event."
Manuel, who is the reigning women's ASP North America Pro Junior Series Champion, wasted no time in becoming familiar with Sebastian Inlet during her first trip to Florida and continues to establish herself as a top threat amongst her junior peers while continuing to hold her regional junior series points lead.
"The final really slowed down with the high tide, but I was lucky to find a couple of waves," Manuel said. "It really came down to who just got the right ones in the final, but I just kept moving around and managed to get a couple of scores."
Manuel is another talent who is hoping to qualify for the ASP WJT and feels that the Skullcandy Junior Pro victory will help the young Hawaiian pave the path towards competing against the globe's best juniors in the future.
"It's a great start to my year and I'm so thankful to have a couple of events to try and qualify for this year's World Junior Tour," Manuel said. "I haven't competed in about a month, so this is a great way to start of the new year."
The ASP North America Pro Junior Series will continue with the ASP Grade-2 Ezekiel Pro Junior presented by Jack's Surfboards, which will run from March 24 through 28, 2010.

Avoiding Financial Stress
By asking the right questions, and knowing exactly what your needs are, you can find the right loan for you. There are certain approaches that you can take while mortgage shopping that can cost or save you money.
It is still true that the better qualifications you have, the lower your interest rate will be. However, there are mortgages available for almost everyone; it's the interest rates or the down payments that vary.
Before speaking with a lender, know what monthly dollar amount you feel comfortable committing to. Then when you discuss mortgage pre-approval with your lender, it is easier for you to determine the monthly amount and what value of home the monthly amount translates into. Do not put yourself in the position where you will be paying more each month than you intended simply because the dream home requires it.
Do your research on the types of mortgages available to you and find the one that best suits your needs. There are a number of considerations to be made in terms of finding the best mortgage for each individual:
- What type of market are you in? Are the interest rates falling or rising?
- Do you want a fixed mortgage rate, where you will always know what your payment is going to be?
- What are your long-term goals? Do you intend to resell the property? Do you only need the mortgage for a short time?

In the 1850s, Gold Rush entrepreneur George Gordon developed South Park, modeled after elite neighborhoods found in his native London. He hired fellow Englishman George Goddard to design the namesake oval park and skirt it with stately mansions and town houses, most of which were destroyed in the 1906 earthquake and fire. Today, tech workers and residents enjoy the leafy park and cafes.
1. Caffe Centro
102 South Park: A great spot for picking up a fresh and hearty salad or sandwich to go. Or adopt a more leisurely pace and sip a specialty coffee while seated at one of the forest green bistro tables outside. (415) 882-1500. www.caffecentro.com.
2. South Park
64 South Park: By designating South Park as private, Gordon aspired to establish an elite, botanical space similar to the exclusive, gated and locked urban gardens in London's posh boroughs. Now a public park, it features a grassy area, children's playground, picnic tables and benches. (415) 831-6358. http://bit.ly/1gpIGeT.
3. Jack London Alley
Jack London Alley: Although London is associated more with Oakland and his former Beauty Ranch in Sonoma County, this alley exists not far from his birthplace at Third and Brannan streets. Though the home there no longer exists, you can still read "The Call of the Wild" and other books penned by this prolific author.
4. Mexico Au Parc
24 South Park: Offering a menu of flavorful Mexican comfort food - including sope, tortas and tacos - this petite cafe bustles midday. Stop by the self-serve salsa bar, join the line of office workers waiting for their lunches and take your order to go or grab a table by the window. (415) 495-0409.
5. Isda & Co.
21 South Park: Designer Isda Funari and partners established this independent label 25 years ago. Enhance your wardrobe by shopping at the outlet here and adding chic, understated and classic pieces with a modern twist that also hold up well to travel. (877) 647-4732. www.isda-and-co.com.
6. American Grilled Cheese Kitchen
1 South Park: The American Grilled Cheese Kitchen takes a favorite sandwich to a sophisticated level, like a breakfast version with an cage-free, over easy egg on Pinkie's levain. (415) 243-0107. www.theamericansf.com.
Free two-hour street parking on South Park Street.
Public transit: Exit the Montgomery Street BART Station, walk six blocks south on Second Street and turn right onto South Park. Or exit BART, walk to Second and Stevenson streets and board the Muni No. 10 Townsend bus toward General Hospital. Exit at Second and Bryant streets, continue on Second Street and turn right onto South Park. www.bart.gov, www.sfmta.com.
By car from the Peninsula: Take Highway 101 north to Interstate 80 east toward the Bay Bridge. Exit at Fourth Street exit toward the Embarcadero, merge onto Bryant Street and turn right onto Second Street. Turn right onto South Park.
Explore the southeast area of the city further via the San Francisco City Guides' "South Beach and the South End Historic Warehouse District" tour. Meet the tour guide at 10 a.m. Thursday (Jan. 16) at the corner of Brannan Street and the Embarcadero. The tour is offered again at 10 a.m. Feb. 20. Free and open to the public. www.sfcityguides.org.

Prosperity Candle
Prosperity Candle is a social enterprise based in the United States that invests in women entrepreneurs to help end poverty. Candles are the focus of this enterprise because candle making is a business a woman can start and expand in the safety of her own home with local materials, a critical element at times of unrest. This has been the goal of Prosperity Candle since the beginning: to enable women to escape poverty and conflict around the world through entrepreneurship. Every candle purchased helps provide a living wage for the women of Prosperity, who have recently resettled from refugee camps and are working to build a brighter future for themselves and their families in the United States.

The women of Prosperity Candle are entrepreneurs who have recently resettled from refugee camps. Each candle is handmade in Massachusetts.
The female refugees hand-pour the wax, which is a clean-burning mixture of GMO-free, Kosher-certified, and U.S. food-grade paraffin. They use a carefully crafted mixture of essential oils to create the perfect scent and finish the candle with a 100 percent cotton wick. Every candle is vegan and is created without dyes or enhancers. Finally, the artisan packages the candle and signs her name on the bottom.

United States
The United States of America is the third largest country in the world. 'The land of the free' is also the third most populous, and the most diverse country in the world. America owes this diversity to the abundant and continuous waves of immigrants, who have brought their own cultures and traditions to a vast new country. As most of the early settlers were of European origin, the country was distinctly European in customs, arts, music, and cuisine even before becoming an independent nation. However, with the new influx of immigrants from other parts of the world, the U.S. culture is now influenced by Native American, African, Polynesian, and especially Asian and Latin American. These immigrant populations have transformed American society into a truly multicultural and multiethnic mosaic. These many layers of diversity are reflected in the vast variety of artistic styles and hand-craft work. American artisans work with traditional craft materials and processes such as woodworking, textiles, metalworking, glassblowing, ceramics, etc.

Sesame Workshop CEO says children's learning should be non-partisan; defends public-private partnership but calls for more federal backing.
Move over, Bill Gates. Who would have thought Big Bird would emerge as the most buzzed-about media figure at this week's Abu Dhabi Media Summit?
The giant yellow avian icon, star of educational TV show Sesame Street, hit the political landscape last week when US Republican Presidential candidate Mitt Romney ruffled feathers by singling out the show for potential federal funding cuts.
"Big Bird is fine. Being 8'2" tall he's used to attention but not to this extent," said Melvin Ming, president and CEO of Sesame Workshop, who spoke to the Abu Dhabi conference via satellite from New York.
Ming did confirm that Sesame Workshop had requested the Obama campaign cease using images of Big Bird in advertising spots responding to Romney's comments during last week's debate. "As a non-profit organisation, we are non political, our practices and policies are that we don't allow our assets and characters to be used in political ads," he noted. "The use of Big Bird was in violation of our ethics, they [the Obama campaign] didn't have our permission and we didn't see how fair use was being applied here…This practice of ours is essential because we cannot let our Muppets do anything that if a child saw their teacher doing it they would be disappointed…Our goal is to reach every child in America with educational media, we don't contaminate that."
He continued: "Big Bird is a symbol of a generation in the US to have TV as that first school for preschoolers. Today in Amercia most of the preschoolers are out of the home by the age of 3 and in some school setting. We want to be where those children are, with the media that can help them grown and learn. The investment should be in young children being school ready and life ready, that's non partisan."
He noted that some facts had been skewed in the media since the debate, for instance that literacy programme The Electric Company gets five times more funding that Sesame Street. On the production of Sesame Street, he said: "We think the model for Sesame Street is a perfect model for private-public partnership… We have an economic model that allows us to be sustainable and not be wholly dependent on subsidies."
Where government subsidies are most crucial is for local public broadcasters to acquire programmes like Sesame Street and The Electric Company. "We need federal support for the connection of our content to children and our communities. We don't need it necessarily to produce Sesame Street. But I would love to have more funding so that we could programme Sesame Street 260 days per year and use technology to tailor it more for each individual child."
He said emphatically: "We believe that public broadcasting should be preserved and even increased."
The flurry of attention on Big Bird this past week is a good reminder of the importance of educational media, Ming said. "Hopefully we can move [the attention] from the political football and hot potato to [explore] what is the rightful place of TV and other media for getting a child school ready and life ready."
He added: "There has been a recognition of the place of Big Bird in American society, as an icon and a teacher, for children who cannot vote who have no voice…We are seeing support for public broadcasting because it connects with every person and every community in the US."
Moving forward, Sesame Workshop hopes to continue to innovate with new platforms such as iPad apps. "It's getting children engaged more….we are continuing to refine that to see how we can make learning more individualized…Technology will permit a measurement of what [children] are looking at, so they get more of what they need and less of what they don't need. If we can get games into this equation we think we can revolutionize preschool education," Ming explained.
Another growth area for the company is international, with content now created in more than 30 markets (where local partners are key). Robert Knezevic, VP of international at Sesame Workshop, revealed that the company was "very soon" going to reintroduce a Gulf version of Sesame Street.
"There is a tremendous need here that we believe we can fill with Arabic-language content on a number of issues," Knezevic said in Abu Dhabi. After working with the Arab Bureau of Education, the company has devised a curriculum that will include Arabic-language skills, health education, and "respect and understanding."
In the Middle East, the company already has programmes in Egypt, Palestine and Jordan.
"We create a tremendous amount of content in US which we distribute in a very traditional media business model. But we know children learn best in their cultural context, they learn best in the language of their cultural mother," he noted.
So instead of exporting Big Bird to every territory, local experts create their own characters, such as Boombah the hedonistic, vegetarian lion in India, or Kami, an HIV-positive orphan muppet in South Africa. "The point was to create characters who represent the national character of that country," he said.

Former West Licking Joint Fire District Chief David Fulmer, whose employment was terminated by the fire board on Thursday, Nov. 8, plans to appeal the decision in Licking County Common Pleas Court, according to his attorney, David Comstock.
Former West Licking Joint Fire District Chief David Fulmer, whose employment was terminated by the fire board on Thursday, Nov. 8, plans to appeal the decision in Licking County Common Pleas Court, according to his attorney, David Comstock.
Comstock said state law dictates that Fulmer can appeal within 10 days to common pleas court.
On Nov. 8, the fire board reviewed the charges against Fulmer and found him guilty of one: misconduct in office and malfeasance related to personal information on non-township personnel kept on his work computer.
In a prepared statement, Comstock said, "Chief Fulmer and I are disappointed in the recent decision of the West Licking Joint Fire District to terminate him based on the allegations he violated the district's Internet, email and online services policy.
"As stated in our closing arguments, R. L. Emmons and Associates failed to provide any evidence that supported or substantiated that Chief Fulmer violated this policy."
Richard Emmons, of R.L. Emmons and Associates of Centerville, was hired by the fire board to investigate Fulmer.
In his closing arguments from the Oct. 19 hearing on the case, Comstock said, "At the (Oct. 19) hearing, Mr. Emmons testified that Chief Fulmer was not being accused of violating a specific district policy (which is directly contrary to the charge), but instead is charged with violating rules of common sense related to the storage or private material on a computer. ... Chief Fulmer cannot be disciplined as the district does not make clear as to what conduct is prohibited or what conduct should be prohibited."
Comstock said prior to the Oct. 19 hearing, Fulmer filed charges against the board alleging that the board did not follow Ohio law by holding some meetings in private and by not producing public records required for his defense. Comstock said that case is pending in Licking County Common Pleas Court.
Fulmer was placed on administrative leave May 29 following a decision reportedly made by the fire board during a May 23 executive session. No public vote was taken at that time.
Board members then met in an emergency session June 4 and voted 5-0 to place Fulmer on administrative leave.
When asked if Fulmer would return to the fire district if his appeal is approved, Comstock said he would.
"I think that Chief Fulmer is a reasonable individual who isn't going to let the board's decision get in the way of doing his job if he's permitted to return," Comstock said.

Politico reports that President Obama personally demanded that the Democrats' platform be amended to bring back references to God and to Jerusalem as the capital of Israel (funny, because until now neither Obama nor his spokesmen could figure out where Israel's capital is).
The motion to amend was voted down by the delegates twice, and on the third vote the chairman announced that the motion to amend the platform had passed, even though most observers thought it plainly hadn't. I guess we know now what the Democrats really think about God and Israel. Today's disarray appears to be the big story of the convention so far.
UPDATE: So here's the video. It is obvious that the "No's" carried the day. Is this a day that will live in infamy? It certainly deserves to:
