In light of several recent, heinous incidents of violence against young women, specifically the Steubenville gang rape and the attack in New Delhi, among many others, advocates have reached out to NRCDV staff about being saddened and discouraged after reading through the details of these inhumane acts of violence against young women. To help offer a way for advocates to recharge and re-engage, the NRCDV brings to you the voices of 4 powerful women who are dedicated to ending violence against women and girls and who have been working in the movement for decades.
Let's learn from these four amazingly dedicated and experienced advocates about how to stay motivated and steadfast to do this work in the face of opposition, apathy, and continued acts of dehumanizing violence that often go unpunished.

Narcissus lays his head on the grass by the pool, and then he quietly disappears into the underworld, where he continues to gaze at the image in the waters of the river Styx. Our images, especially those that appear in life and play important roles in episodes of transformation, stay with us forever. Once we have entertained an image, it is always potentially present to our gaze. You visit the Uffizi Gallery and see Botticelli's "Primavera," and then for a lifetime you dream of it or you talk about it frequently as a measure of beauty. Unexpectedly it presents itself in a moment of thought or in a discussion, reminding you of its eternal presence. This fragment of the myth suggests that we might continually make soul out of our narcissism by preserving and tending to the images that have come to us throughout our lives. This is the basis of art therapy or journal-keeping: making a home for certain images that have been transforming. Certain photographs or old letters might be related to the pool of water. Culturally, of course, we are constantly invited into the depths of ourselves by the plays, paintings, sculptures, and buildings of past centuries. Art can be a cure for narcissism. The words "curator" and "cure" are essentially the same. By being the curator of our images, we care for our souls.

John Brennan, the president's assistant on homeland security and counterterrorism, on Monday, May 2, 2011, spoke to the press about the raid and subseqent killing of terrorist Osama bin Laden. This is a file photograph of the Deputy National Security Advisior John Brennan made as he talked to the press about security during the holiday season. He is with White House press Secy Robert Gibbs in the White house briefing room.
WASHINGTON (CNN) – John Brennan, nominated last month by President Barack Obama to become the next CIA director, came one step closer Tuesday to assuming that role after being approved by the Senate Intelligence Committee.
But the former top counterterrorism adviser still faces a battle in the full Senate, where some Republicans have vowed to stall his nomination until they receive answers about the country's drone program and the September attack on a U.S. diplomatic post in Benghazi, Libya.
The intelligence panel voted 12-3 to send Brennan's nomination to the full Senate. The committee vote was delayed twice as members received and processed classified documents relating to the White House's targeted killing program, which includes the use of unmanned drones to kill suspected terrorists.
"There were some inconsistencies in his presentation before the committee and I think we've got to have a stronger trust relationship with the CIA than what I felt like Mr. Brennan could bring," said Sen. Saxby Chambliss, R-Georgia, one of the three who voted against Brennan.
The Obama administration agreed Tuesday to provide members of the Intelligence Committee with additional legal opinions related to the targeted killings of Americans who are involved in terror-related activities that threaten the United States or its interests. The White House had previously turned over other opinions about the drone operation to the committee, but some members wanted more information before agreeing to vote on Brennan's nomination.
Brennan has been a top architect of the Obama administration's drone program, which came under scrutiny after the killing of American-born cleric Anwar al-Awlaki in September 2011. Sen. Rand Paul, a conservative Republican from Kentucky, has said he would hold up a vote on Brennan until more details on the drone program are released by the Obama administration.
Brennan was grilled on the program during confirmation hearings, along with his stance on torture methods that were used during the administration of former President George W. Bush in the aftermath of the September 11, 2011 terror attacks.
Sen. John McCain, one the Republican lawmakers threatening to hold up a vote on Brennan's nomination in the full Senate, has questioned Brennan's stance of torture, saying two weeks ago on CNN's "State of the Union" he was unclear where the nominee stood on the issue.
"Mr. Brennan said he was opposed to waterboarding and torture, but at the same time he has said it has saved lives. I would like to know what lives were saved because the information I have is it saved no one's life. In fact, it was a lot of misinformation," he told CNN's Candy Crowley.
McCain, along with fellow GOP Sen. Lindsey Graham, is also demanding answers about the September attack in Benghazi, Libya, before the agree to proceed with a Senate vote on Brennan.
"I'm not going to vote on a new CIA director until I find out what the CIA did in Benghazi," Graham said Sunday on CBS's "Face the Nation."
Graham specifically wants to see the interviews of the survivors. While transcriptions were provided to the Senate Intelligence Committee – of which Graham is not a member – Graham said "everything was blacked out."
Graham and McCain have been leading voices on the charge against the administration over the attack, which killed four Americans, including the U.S. ambassador.

Columbia College named an institution of character
(COLUMBIA, Mo.) -- Columbia College has been recognized as a National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) Champions of Character Institution for 2007-08. The college is among 199 colleges and universities around the country that received the designation this year.
The award recognizes NAIA member institutions that have embraced the character program by promoting or implementing activities related to five core values: respect, responsibility, integrity, servant leadership and sportsmanship.
"Champions of Character has a profound impact on student-athletes, coaches and in the communities the NAIA and member institutions serve. I am delighted to see an increase in the number of schools that use the program to intentionally teach character," said Rob Haworth, NAIA vice president for Champions of Character. Haworth cited a 20 percent increase over last year in the total number of member institutions recognized. "I applaud these institutions for their commitment to advance character-driven intercollegiate athletics," he said.
As a Champions of Character institution, Columbia College coaches and student-athletes work directly with youth organizations, schools and civic groups to educate, promote and incorporate the five core values within the sporting or daily activities of youth and adults. The college hosts regular athletic workshops with students at Eugene Field Elementary School in Columbia, Mo., the institution's partner in education.
This year, the Columbia College athletic department announced plans to spread the Champions of Character values even further. Each Cougar athletic team selected one value and pledged to involve themselves in activities that represented it.
This September, the men's basketball team hosted a responsibility week featuring Sarah Panzau, a former athlete mangled in a drunk-driving accident, and Bob Hall, an expert in nonviolent sexuality. The college will host additional activities throughout the year to actively involve student-athletes and to celebrate the Champions of Character initiative.
Introduced in 2000, the NAIA Champions of Character program seeks to create environments in which student-athletes, youth, parents, coaches, officials and spectators are committed to and understand the true spirit of competition through respect, responsibility, integrity, servant leadership and sportsmanship.
Columbia College has been an NAIA Champions of Character Institution since the program's inception. For more information about the Champions of Character initiative, visit www.naia.org. Columbia College, a private, nonprofit institution founded in 1851 in Columbia, Mo., educates 25,000 students each year and has more than 61,000 alumni worldwide.

I was wondering if anyone might be aware of any good resources on the history and development of African civilizations? I will of course be seeking council from the Most Wise and Great God Google, but if anyone has suggestions they would be greatly appreciated!
Check out Burns and Collins's A History of Sub Saharan Africa, a general overview. It seemed to tell a lot of the same stories as an into to African History course I took.
John Reader's Africa: A Biography of the Continent was a bit more enjoyable, writing-wise. Still glad I read both for the variance in perspective.
I'd be curious to hear what problems you or other readers find in those books. I also wouldn't mind hearing of a good into book written outside of the US/Europe.
I think the Wikipedia article about Africa's history might be a good an entry point for your research as any other. It's mainly an overview which just shortly mentions the most important kingdoms and civilizations, but it has lots of links presumably (I didn't check them) leading to more detailed articles.
At home I have a nice dog-eared copy of Colin McEverdy's The Penguin Atlas of African History.
Of course Africa is a big place, and things developed fairly independantly north and south of the Sahara for most of its history. But if you are interested in the development all all African civilizations (From Bushman to Arab), this is the best resource I know of.
Helen Tilley spent the better part of a decade investigating development in Africa, especially in relation to British Parliamentary funding of resource projects addressing issues like clean water, mosquitos and flooding. Her most recent book, Africa as a Living Laboratory: Empire, Development, and the Problem of Scientific Knowledge, 1870-1950, is a thoroughly-researched and well-written text.
Especially useful is the lengthy appendix providing primary source data taken from British Parliamentary Papers (take a look here).


text: I have a $\sqrt{n}\times\sqrt{n}$ lattice graph $G=(V,E)$ i.e. vertices on said 2-dim integer lattice, and two vertices have an edge if their $L_1$ distance is one. Now I want to claim something like this: For any partition of $V$ into $V_1, V_2$ with $n/4\leq |V_1| \leq n/2$, there are at least $\sqrt{n}$ edges of type $v~w$ where $v\in V_1$ and $w\in V_2$. It seems quite easy, and I was wondering if there is a simple crisp known proof for it. It seems some geometry might help e.g. to claim that perimeter of subset $S$ of area $n/4$ is minimized when $S$ is just one rectangle etc. Any reference for extensions to higher dimension would be helpful too. Thank you!

Ample models for Gov. Malloy
Gov. Dannel P. Malloy's strategy for confronting Connecticut's economic and fiscal challenges has left the state with a perpetual budget crisis, negligible job growth, the first credit-rating downgrade in state history, and a slew of surveys declaring the state is even less hospitable to business than usual (which is saying something). In Obama-esque fashion, Gov. Malloy blames the mess on the policies of his Republican predecessors.

I am a dedicated fan/gamer of Battlefront I and II. Was playing those games recently and was wondering if anyone had ever released a modification for Xbox?
Such as the really interesting Battle of Endor Space fight I saw for the PC. I was reading up on the forums to see the history, and it seems like it is impossible to successfully create new levels for the xbox game. Also, conversion from the PC game to the xbox game did not seem to be relatively successful either.
I never had the opportunity to acquire the expansion pack for SWBF iI available on xbox live (when xbox wasn't rejected for the xbox 360), and regret it. I was wondering if someone had found those levels for the pc and then converted them for xbox?
Also, from the reading I did, the expansion pack did not include levels such as the original Geonosis map (with the Techno Union ships) and Bespin and Yavin 4 arena and such. But I've seen those come out for the PC version?
My apologies for the wordiness, but the basic question: Can and has SWBF II for the xbox original been modded successfully??
Is Sw Battlefront Ii New Levels?

You & Me (Hardcover)
August 2012 Indie Next List
"Experience the utter joy of shooting the breeze on the porch with a couple of crotchety, intelligent old codgers. Inventive, funny, and profound, Powell turns phrases like a dervish in this Southern-styled ersatz retelling of Waiting for Godot. A wonderful book that perfectly captures kicking back and trying to make sense of the crazy world streaming by."
— Josh Cook, Porter Square Books, Cambridge, MA
The cult hit The Interrogative Mooda Best Book of the Year selection by Amazon.com, GQ, The Believer, Time Out New York, and elsewherereminded readers that Padgett Powell is one of the enduring stars of American fiction, an electric novelist with a pitch-perfect ear for the way Americans talk and the strange things we say and believe. Now he returns with a hilarious Southern send-up of Samuel Beckett's classic Waiting for Godot, and we enter the world of the sublime and trivial as only Powell can envision it.
Two loquacious men sit talking on a porch. Funny and profound, daft and cogent, they argue about love and sex, how best to live and die, the merits of Miles Davis and Cadillacs and Hollywood starlets of yore, underused clichÉs, false truisms, and the meaning of nihilism. Together, they shoot the shitand then they go on shooting it long after it's dead.
Ribald and roaring, You & Me is an exuberant and very funny novel from a master of American fiction at the top of his game.
About the Author
Padgett Powell is the author of six novels, including Edisto, which was nominated for the National Book Award, and two collections of stories. His writing has appeared in the New Yorker, Harper's, and the Paris Review, as well as in The Best American Short Stories and The Best American Sports Writing. He has received a Whiting Writers' Award, the Rome Fellowship in Literature from the American Academy of Arts and Letters, and the James Tait Black Memorial Prize. He lives in Gainesville, Florida, where he teaches at MFA@FLA, the writing program of the University of Florida.
Praise For…
"[Powell's] characters might be all talk and no walk, but what wonderful talk it is. . . . Powell, in his recent work, has set his mind ablaze. And nothing but exquisite and deeply strange language is left to emerge from the ashes."
"The novel's penetrating, playful words manage to 'pick impossibly heavy sh*t up' and deliver what one of the characters calls 'the perfect nonsense a real dream makes.'"
-Publishers Weekly (starred review)
-Vanity Fair
"Hilarious [and] absorbing. . . . Powell can make the most barbed issues—the power of media, class resentment, private self-judgment, and dread of death—slither through dialogue of zany simplicity."
-San Francisco Chronicle
"Addictive, a plotless page-turner."
-Minneapolis Star Tribune
"A hilarious and engaging novel, with a strong sense of natural speech and life's absurdities, by the author of the highly acclaimed The Interrogative Mood."
"Wonderful. . . . You & Me is by turns hilarious, depressing, gnomic, smutty, and just a far better Saturday night than anything to be had in Jacksonville and Baskersfield combined."
"Deliciously human. . . . Powell creates dialogue so deftly that we feel we are sitting alongside these men, somehow caught up in their discussion. Slyly funny, sometimes silly, irreverent, impudent, and brash, Powell has crafted a conversation that is comically American, with a free and wild heart."
-Interview Magazine
"This is the hilarious work of a master in a late-career renaissance."
-Creative Loafing
"Extremely funny . . . reflective and poetic."
-Village Voice
"Sit back and enjoy the ride. . . . The payoffs are marvelous. . . . Powell gets deeper and funnier every time out."
-Shelf Awareness
"There's a wild, improvisational spirit to Powell's literary jazz. . . . You're urged on by hilarious . . . digressions, the musical lilt of the vernacular. . . . Good fun."
"Great fun. . . . Irreverent. . . . Witty. . . . Compelling."
-Kirkus Reviews
"Hilarious [and] moving."
-Oxford American
"Delightful. . . . Ripe with juicy, drunken, rambling revelations. . . . Powell's wholly distinctive voice grabs you by the ear and sets you to laughing."
-Portland Mercury
"One of the South's most distinctive voices. . . . Make[s] your brain dance in ways you never thought it could. . . . There's a hallucinatory brilliance at work here . . . most of all, in the improbable and covert way that Powell cracks your heart."
-Garden & Gun magazine
"These old boys are Southern storytellers, masters of the gothic twist, the wry comeback. . . . Their voices become so vivid that reading the book begins to feel like eavesdropping—and a fine spell of eavesdropping it is."
-Tampa Bay Times
"Padgett Powell's You & Me, mixed with 750 ml of fine bourbon, is the most fun you can have in many states without getting arrested. Braver, tougher, smarter than most of the fiction supposedly pushing the envelope. Why? Because it actually means something."
-Gary Shteyngart, bestselling author of Super Sad True Love Story
"There are few writers who understand both the beauty and the absurdity of language as well as Padgett Powell. . . . These are Nobel-big concerns, presented the way all grand truths should be delivered, with humor and tenderness."
-Kevin Wilson, bestselling author of The Family Fang
"This book is a rare thing: experimental writing with powerful narrative drive. I finished it feeling quieted—by its melancholic probing—and exhilarated by its comic style."
-John Jeremiah Sullivan, author of Pulphead and Blood Horses
"…Hilarious, bizarre and absorbing … Echoes of everyone from Walt Whitman to Will Rogers, vaudeville to Wittgenstein…Powell can make the most barbed issues -the power of media, class resentment, private self-judgment and dread of death - slither through dialogue of zany simplicity."
-San Francisco Chronicle

Republicans threw a $24 billion temper tantrum
I am a registered Republican. However, I am sadly disappointed with the party. Republicans had a proud tradition of conservative politics, but have allowed themselves to be hijacked by the extremist, far-right tea party. These extremists are a tiny minority.
The recent "temper tantrum" initiated by the tea party and the far right has cost the U.S. economy approximately $24 billion, which incidentally adds to the national debt.

You guys let yourselves become obsessed with the Affordable Care Act.
Repubicans in the House had 44 votes to defund it and just couldn't accept the fact that it was here and wasn't going away and would probably be successful.
My opinion is your minds got warped when you renamed the ACA to "Obamacare" as a way to demean the president. Then every time you saw, heard or said the word, "Obamacare" it infuriated you even more.
Even now, as everyone can see by your letter above, you still can't seem to let go. You've let it get in your heads that Obamacare will somehow destroy our country when all its really doing is providing healthcare to those Americans who had trouble getting it.

How many will never see their memorial now because of that disgusting pig Obama? They spent more money on police to keep them out than they would do to keep it open. It is an open air memorial. There are no guards there during the day. Yet he made sure the National Mall was open for the ILLEGAL ALIEN RALLY. They should have dropped a cluster bomb on that rally.

Take a look at out country at the end of republican rule. We were losing 100s of thousands of jobs a month. The last three months of Bush's term we lost 1.5 million jobs. I can give you a bunch of other teary eyed stats showing the downward spiral we were in. But you get the picture. "

Let me try some it it, see how it works.
In 2006 the US had the strongest economy in our history. Once the dems took over the house and senate, and blocked everything Bush wanted to do things turned bad. They blocked everything because he is WHITE.
Bush warned if they didn't stop we'd have an 8 year recession. We are now in year 5 of that recession. Bush is a genius.
Hows that Al? haha
The unaffordable Care Law. Hows it working for you? How is Kitty and Obama going to blame republicans for this huge failure? IRS, Benghazi and Fast & Furious were bad but the AHCA (his signature law) is a DISASTER. This is what happens when you try to be a king rather than a leader and surround yourself with "like minded" thinkers rather than competent people. $600,000,000 website that can't handle 500 people at once hahaha my grandkids could make a better website.

Section: City Council
Subject: City Council Rules of Procedure
Effective Date: Revised March 2, 2010
Procedure No.: 5
By Resolution 10-16
These rules implement Lake Oswego Charter Chapter IV Section 14(A), which requires adoption of rules to govern Council proceedings.
All meetings of the City Council shall comply with the Oregon State Public Meetings Law (ORS 192.610 to 192.690), which is hereby incorporated by reference into these rules. All provisions of the Public Meetings Law are applicable to meetings of the City Council even if not expressly set forth in these rules. To the extent that any local procedure conflicts with the Public Meetings Law, the latter shall prevail. [Charter Chapter IV Section 14(B).]
- Meetings to be Open to the Public: All meetings of the Council shall be open to the public and all persons shall be permitted to attend, except as otherwise provided by ORS 192.610 to 192.690. A "meeting" is the convening of a quorum of the Council in order to make a decision or deliberate toward a decision on any matter. "Meeting" does not include an on-site inspection of a program or project and does not include attendance at any national, state or regional association to which the Council or its members belong. [Charter Chapter IV Section 14(B).]
- Meetings to be Held at Location Open to Public: Meetings shall not be held at any place where discrimination on the basis of race, creed, color, sex, age, sexual orientation, national origin or disability is practiced. Meetings shall not be held at any place inaccessible to the disabled. Smoking in a public meeting is prohibited.
- Minutes Required: Written minutes shall be taken for all Council meetings except executive sessions which are audio taped. Minutes shall be available to the public within a reasonable time after the meeting, and shall include at least the following:
- Councilors present.
- All motions, proposals, resolutions, orders, ordinances and measures proposed and their disposition.
- The results of all votes and the vote of each Councilor by name.
- The substance of any discussion on any matter
- A reference to any public document discussed.
[Charter Chapter IV Section 16.]
- Meetings to be Electronically Recorded: All meetings of the Council and Council subcommittees shall be electronically recorded. [Charter Chapter IV Section 14(B).]
- Regular Meetings: The Council shall hold a regular meeting at least twice per month. The regular meeting shall be held on the first and third Tuesdays of each month at 6:30 P.M. in the City Council Chambers, unless the Council cancels or reschedules the meeting. If the regular meeting falls on a legal holiday, the meeting shall be convened at the same time and place on the next regular business day. Notice of a regular meeting shall be given by:
- Publication in a newspaper of general circulation in the City;
- Posting written notice in three public places;
- Providing the agenda and supporting material to members of the press who request notice; and
- Providing the agenda to other persons who request copies.
[Charter Chapter IV Section 14(A); LOC 12.050.]
- Special Meetings: Special Meetings may be called by the Mayor or three or more Councilors. At least 24 hours written or verbal notice must be provided to the Council and to members of the news media and the public who have requested notice. [Charter Chapter IV Section 14(A).]
- Emergency Meetings: In the case of an actual emergency, an emergency meeting may be called by common consent of all available Councilors upon such notice as is appropriate to the circumstances. The minutes of the emergency meeting shall describe the emergency justifying less than 24 hours notice. [Charter Chapter IV Section 14(A).]
- Executive Sessions: An executive session (a meeting closed to the public) may be held in accordance with the Public Meetings Law. The Mayor may call any regular, special or emergency meeting into executive session by citing the specific provision of ORS 192.660 which authorizes the session. Executive Sessions may also be separately scheduled pursuant to the requirements for special meetings.
- Attendance at Executive Sessions: The Mayor shall determine which persons other than the Council shall attend an executive session.
- Media Attendance: Representatives of the news media shall be allowed to attend executive sessions except those called pursuant to ORS 192.660(1)(d) (deliberations with persons designated to carry on labor negotiations). The Mayor shall instruct any media representatives present not to disclose the substance of any discussion during executive session.
- Final Decision Prohibited: No final decision shall be made in executive session. To make a final decision, the presiding officer shall either call the meeting into open session or place the decision on the agenda of a future open session.
- Study Sessions: A special meeting, or any portion thereof, may be designated as a study session. Typically a study session designation indicates that matters of substance will be discussed, but that final action will not be taken. However, this designation does not prevent the Council from taking final action at the meeting if necessary or convenient.
- Regular Meetings: The Council shall hold a regular meeting at least twice per month. The regular meeting shall be held on the first and third Tuesdays of each month at 6:30 P.M. in the City Council Chambers, unless the Council cancels or reschedules the meeting. If the regular meeting falls on a legal holiday, the meeting shall be convened at the same time and place on the next regular business day. Notice of a regular meeting shall be given by:
- Setting the Agenda: The Mayor shall determine the business to be placed on the Council meeting agenda. Any Councilor may request that an item be placed on the Council Agenda. A majority of the Council may direct that an item be placed on the agenda. [Charter Chapter V Section 19].
- Delivery: Promptly after it is developed, the agenda shall be delivered to each Councilor together with any supporting materials. Unless a Councilor requests otherwise, the agenda and materials may be delivered electronically or by telephonic facsimile.
- Alteration of the Agenda:
- New matters: Matters not on the printed agenda may come before the Council as determined by the Mayor or a majority of the Council.
- Final Written Land Use Orders: Any Councilor voting with the prevailing side on a tentative land use decision may continue consideration of the final written order to the next regular meeting.
- Order of Business: The Mayor shall establish the order of business for all meetings except regular meetings. Regular meetings shall be conducted in the following order of business, subject to the right of the Mayor, with Council consent, to alter the order of business:
- Call to Order.
- Roll Call.
- Special Presentations by the Council: This agenda item is reserved for the presentation of awards or special recognition to staff or citizens for special or outstanding service.
- Consent Agenda. The purpose of the consent agenda is to expedite the Council meeting by grouping routine or uncontested items of business so that they may be approved by one motion. The consent agenda may include any or all of the items on the regular agenda, except as otherwise prohibited by law. The Mayor and City staff shall develop the consent agenda during agenda setting. The Council by consensus may add any item of business on the regular agenda to the consent agenda. Any Councilor may remove any item from the proposed consent agenda for individual consideration. A vote in favor or opposed to a consent agenda is considered to be an affirmative or negative vote on each of the items on the consent agenda. Approval of a consent agenda containing the reading of an ordinance shall be followed by a reading of the ordinance title.
- Items Pulled from Consent Agenda.
This agenda item is reserved for consideration of items of business pulled from the Consent Agenda pursuant to Rule 4(d)(iv), above.
- Citizen Comment: The purpose of citizen comment is to allow citizens to present information or raise an issue regarding items not on the agenda. Unless altered by the Mayor, a time limit of three minutes per citizen shall apply. The Council may accept the information, answer the question if simple, or refer the matter to the appropriate City Department for review and response. If the matter is referred, the Council may direct the Department to respond in writing to the citizen or to present the response to the Council in the form of a Council report. In the latter case, the citizen shall be notified of the date on which the report will come before the Council. Citizen comment shall not exceed thirty (30) minutes unless the Council votes to suspend the rules.
- Public Hearings.
- Written Communications: This agenda item allows the Council to consider written comments from citizens. Review shall be as provided for citizen comment.
- Reports of City Commissions or Committees: This agenda item allows members of City Commissions or Committees to raise issues or present information to the Council.
- Information from Councilors: This agenda item provides an opportunity for individual Councilors to provide information to the Council on matters not otherwise on the agenda. Each Councilor will be given five minutes. This agenda item shall not be used for matters requiring action by the Council. Action items must be placed on the agenda pursuant to Rule 4(a) or 4(c), above.
- Departmental Reports.
- Orders.
- Ordinances.
- Resolutions.
- Reports of City Officers.
- Approval of Minutes: Minutes may be approved without reading if the Council members are given copies prior to the meeting.
- Adjournment.
[Charter Chapter IV Section 17.]
- Quorum: A majority of the members of the Council constitute a quorum for conducting business. [Charter Chapter IV Section 15(A).]
- Presiding Officer: The Mayor shall preside at all meetings of the Council. The Mayor shall preserve order and enforce the rules of the Council. In the absence of the Mayor, the Council President shall preside. [Charter Chapter IV Sections 17 & 18.]
- Absence of Mayor and Council President: In the absence of the Mayor and the Council President, the Council shall elect a Councilor to serve as presiding officer as its first order of business. Any Councilor may call a meeting to order for the purpose of electing a presiding officer. [Charter Chapter IV Section 18.]
- Temporary Substitution of Presiding Officer: The Mayor may appoint a temporary presiding officer to cover his or her temporary absence from the meeting by handing the gavel to the Council President or, if the Council President is absent or serving as presiding officer, to any other Councilor.
- Rules of Debate:
- Rules: The principles set forth in Robert's Rules of Order, latest edition, should be observed in the conduct of Council meetings. However, strict adherence to the requirements of those rules is not required. No action of the Council shall be in violation of this section for the reason that the action was not in conformance with Robert's Rules of Order. [LOC 12.02.010]
- Participation: The Mayor or any Councilor may move a question, second a motion, debate and vote.
- Motions: A question is presented for decision by the Council by means of a motion. A motion shall precede discussion of a question.
A list of available motions and the rules for passage are set forth in attached Exhibit "A".
- Friendly Amendment: A formal motion to amend a main motion shall not be necessary if the proposed amendment is accepted by the maker and the second of the main motion.
- Withdrawing a Motion: A motion may be withdrawn prior to a vote by the maker of the motion.
- Reconsideration: A motion to reconsider any action by the Council may be made during the same meeting at which the action was taken. A motion to reconsider must be made by a Councilor that voted with the prevailing side, but may be seconded by any member.
- Repeal: Except as provided below, any action of the Council may be repealed. A motion to repeal may be offered at any meeting following the meeting at which the subject action was taken. The motion must be made by a Councilor who voted with the prevailing side, but may be seconded by any member. A motion to repeal shall be passed by a two-thirds vote of members present and eligible to vote, unless notice has been given of the intent to offer the motion. If notice of intent is published on the printed agenda, a motion to repeal shall be passed by a majority of members present and eligible to vote. Notice of intent shall be placed on the agenda on one occasion upon the request of any Councilor who voted with the prevailing side. Notice of intent shall not be placed on the agenda on subsequent occasions unless pursuant to Rule 4(a) or 4(c). The following actions may not be repealed:
- An action that can be reached by a motion to reconsider.
- An executed contract or agreement.
- A final written land use decision, unless the motion is made within 21 days of approval and specifies one or more reasons why the findings in favor of the decision are incorrect.
- An action which either legally or by its nature cannot be undone.
- Discussion: Following a motion the Mayor shall call on Councilors for discussion according to their requests for recognition. The moving Councilor shall have the privilege of final comment on the motion. Councilors shall limit their discussion to five minutes each. This time limit may be expanded at the discretion of the Mayor.
- Preservation of Order: The Mayor shall preserver order and decorum, discourage personal attacks, and confine Council debate to the question under discussion. The Mayor may eject from the meeting any person in attendance, including any Councilor, who becomes disorderly, abusive, or disruptive, or who fails or refuses to obey a ruling of the Mayor regarding a matter of order or procedure. The Mayor may summon the assistance of the Lake Oswego Police to assist in maintaining order. [Charter Chapter IV Section 17.]
- Points of Order: Any Councilor may request a ruling from the Mayor regarding procedure or preservation of order by calling for a point of order. The Mayor shall determine the point of order, subject to appeal by any Councilor. An appeal shall be decided by majority vote. [LOC 12.02.010.]
- Method of Voting: The vote on any question shall be taken by voice or by roll call vote. The vote shall be taken by roll call at the direction of the Mayor or at the request of any Councilor. The minutes shall reflect the vote of each Councilor by name. [Charter Chapter IV Section 16}
- Order of Voting: At the first meeting of each year, the Mayor shall assign a seat on the dais to each Councilor, except that the Mayor shall sit in the center seat and the Council President shall sit directly to the Mayor's left. For roll call votes, the Mayor shall vote first, followed by Councilors' votes called in order of chair position, from the Mayor's right to the Mayor's left. The order of voting shall be rotated each calendar week so that each Councilor has an equal opportunity to vote second and last. No rotation shall occur in any week that no Council meeting is held. The voting order of a meeting shall not change when the meeting is continued to a different week. [LOC 12.015.]
- Vote Required to Decide a Question: Except as otherwise provided in these rules, the concurrence of a majority of the members present and eligible to vote is necessary to decide a question. No question may be decided with fewer than three affirmative votes, however, unless three or fewer members are eligible to vote on the question. In this event, the question may only be approved by a unanimous vote of those eligible to vote at two consecutive regular City Council meetings. The composition of the membership voting need not be the same at both meetings. [Charter Chapter IV Section 15.]
- Abstention: Abstentions are discouraged. For the purposes of Rule 6(c) above, an abstention shall not be considered an affirmative vote. Councilors who have a conflict of interest or a disqualifying bias should decline to participate rather than abstaining (See Rule 7, below).
- Conflict of Interest: Prior to participating in any decision, a Councilor shall declare any potential conflict of interest. No Councilor shall participate in any manner regarding an agenda item if doing so would create an actual conflict of interest.
- "Potential Conflict of Interest" means any action by a councilor which would be to the private pecuniary benefit or detriment of the Councilor or a member of the Councilor's household, or a business with which the Councilor or member of the Councilor's household is associated. "Potential conflict of interest" does not include pecuniary affects arising out of:
- Membership in a particular occupation or class required by law as a prerequisite to holding the office of Councilor; or
- An action which would affect to the same degree a class consisting of an industry, occupation, or other group to which the Councilor or a member of the Councilor's household belongs.
- "Potential Conflict of Interest" means any action by a councilor which would be to the private pecuniary benefit or detriment of the Councilor or a member of the Councilor's household, or a business with which the Councilor or member of the Councilor's household is associated. "Potential conflict of interest" does not include pecuniary affects arising out of:
- Bias: No Councilor shall participate in any manner in a quasi-judicial decision if the Councilor has actual bias regarding the decision.
- "Quasi-judicial decision" means a decision involving the application of existing criteria to identified persons or properties.
- "Actual Bias" means prejudice or prejudgment of facts to such a degree that a Councilor is incapable of rendering an objective decision on the merits of the case.
- Ex-Parte Contact: Before participating in any quasi-judicial decision, a councilor shall declare any ex-parte contacts. An ex-parte contact is an oral or written communication with a member of the Council regarding the merits of the case made outside of the public hearing process during the pendency of a proceeding. (Communication with staff is not an ex-parte contact). Effective declaration of an ex-parte contact shall include identification of the party and disclosure of the nature of the communication.
- Conflict of Interest: Prior to participating in any decision, a Councilor shall declare any potential conflict of interest. No Councilor shall participate in any manner regarding an agenda item if doing so would create an actual conflict of interest.
The Mayor, with Council consent, has the power to appoint Council subcommittees. A subcommittee shall have whatever duties and shall serve for any duration the Mayor and the Council deem appropriate. Such subcommittees may be standing or ad hoc committees. Each Council subcommittee shall comply with the Council Rules of Procedure, subject to the following exceptions and additions:
- Presiding Officer: As its first order of business, each Council subcommittee shall elect a chair to serve as presiding officer.
- Meetings: The subcommittee may adopt a regular meeting time, or the chair may call special meetings, as the subcommittee deems appropriate.
- Order of Business: The chair shall determine the agenda and the order of business to come before the subcommittee, subject to the right of a majority of the subcommittee to alter the agenda or order of business.
- Approval of Minutes: The chair shall approve the minutes by signing and distributing the minutes to the members of the subcommittee. Any member of the committee shall have the right to request amendments to the minutes at the next regular subcommittee or full Council meeting that occurs following distribution of the minutes.
In the event of a vacancy on the Council, that does not occur 90 days or more prior to a general election, the following recruitment and appointment process will be observed:
- Mayoral Appointment: in the event of a mayoral vacancy, the remaining members of Council will first consider appointing a current member of the Council to the position. If no member of the Council desires to be considered for the position, the recruitment and appointment process for the Mayor will follow the vacancy procedure outlined below.
- Recruitment Process: notice of the recruitment will be advertised through the use of the City website, available City publications, and the local newspaper.
- Application Process: candidates will be invited to complete an application similar to the application used for Board and Commission recruitments (including all standard board and commission application questions). Applicants will be given the option to include a cover letter and resume. The Council may identify supplemental questions in advance to be included with the standard Boards and Commission questions.
- Interview Process: all applicants will be invited to be interviewed for the available position, unless ten or more applications are received.
- If ten or more applications are received, the Council will discuss the desirability of screening the applications and narrowing the interview list to the top candidates based on their written applications.
- If the Council opts to narrow the list, a motion and a vote may be held for the Mayor to appoint a 3-member Council subcommittee to review the applications and recommend a list of candidates for the entire Council to interview.
- Applications from those selected to interview will be published with the Council meeting packet.
- Candidates will be interviewed separately; those waiting for interviews will be asked to remain outside the room.
- All candidates will be asked the same interview questions; follow-up questions to clarify answers are permitted.
- If ten or more applications are received, the Council will discuss the desirability of screening the applications and narrowing the interview list to the top candidates based on their written applications.
- Voting process: after the conclusion of interviews the Council will vote using the process outlined below:
- Each member of Council will complete a ballot ranking the candidates in order of their preference for first, second, and third choice. Under-voting is not permitted. The ballots are tabulated. If one candidate receives a majority of first choice votes, they are instantly the winner.
- If no candidate receives a majority of first choice votes a second ballot will be held. The top three vote-getters according to the preferences listed on the ballots advance to the second ballot; the candidate(s) who received the fewest first choice votes are eliminated. For the second ballot, each member of Council will vote for their first and second choice candidate. If one candidate receives a majority of first choice votes on the second ballot, they are instantly the winner.
- If no candidate receives a majority of first choice votes in the second ballot round, the top two vote getters will advance to a third and final ballot. For the third ballot, each member of Council will vote for their first choice candidate. If one candidate receives the majority of votes on the third ballot, they are instantly the winner.
- If there is a tie after three ballots, a drawing of lots will be held for the winner.
At the conclusion of balloting or the drawing of lots, the Council will then make a motion and hold a vote to appoint the final candidate to the vacant position.

"No kind action ever stops with itself. One kind action leads to another. Good example is followed. A single act of kindness throws out roots in all directions, and the roots spring up and make new trees. The greatest work that kindness does to others is that it makes them kind themselves." — Amelia Earhart
Children are born to be kind. They come into this world with a built in desire to be kind. Their potential is unlimited. What makes a difference in the child's life are the examples that are provided in the home where they are raised. A child who is nurtured and loved while being surrounded with people who treat each other with dignity and respect will become a loving and kind person. These children grow to face the world with a respect for others and a kindness for fellow man.
We all know people like this. The love and kindness that they show is genuine. They make you feel good about yourself and your world. Then hopefully, you will spread that kindness to others.
I have tried to surround myself with kind people. It is a conscientious effort on my part to have people in my world that treat me with dignity and respect as well as kindness. They also treat others in that same way. Therefore, my days are spent with joy and happiness.
I do realize that if you are still working, this may not be an easy task for you, since you don't always have a choice of the people in your work life. But you do have choices in your social life and at least you can surround yourself with kind and loving people during the rest of your day. Who knows, their love may be just the thing you need to get you through the day in your unhappy work place!

YORKVILLE - That post-season playoff spot keeps getting closer and closer and so does a possible home field in the opener, but first Indian Creek has one more week of football.
With its offense churning out 412 total yards with a pair of 100-yard rushers and its defense yielding just 149 yards, the Redskins moved a step closer to the postseason with a key 49-7 Buckeye 8 win over Buckeye Local Friday night.
Coach Andrew Connor's Redskins, with only a loss to unbeaten St Clairsville as a blemish on their record, boosted their mark to 8-1. They close the regular season with a key matchup with Edison on Oct. 27 and are hopeful that a win in the finale also gives them a home game in the playoff opener.

ONE MORE — Indian Creek's Logan Woods runs during the first half of Friday's 49-7 win over host Buckeye Local. The Redskins are 8-1 after finishing with 412 yards of offense. They host Edison on Oct. 27.
Buckeye Local, who closes out the 2012 campaign at Harrison Central on Friday in the battle for the V.A.L.E.S. trophy, dipped to 4-5.
"Every game in the Buckeye 8 is a big game, but just as I told the kids before the game, this is a big game without the Buckeye 8 and playoffs thrown in," Connor said. "This is a big rivalry game for us plus it was their last home game and senior night for them, so we couldn't take them lightly.
"Even with everything else that is going on around us, we could have asked for more pressure play our two biggest rivals in the last two games of the season.

"I told our kids that this was just a great team win. We worried about how they would handle the pressure of the playoffs and looking ahead, but we are proud of the way they handle themselves and how they staying focused.
"This was just a normal big rivalry game that was magnified by the Buckeye 8. I'm extremely proud of these kids.
"We just want getting to the playoffs to be a yearly thing so that is the mark they set for themselves from the start of the season."
On the Redskins' first scoring drive, Logan Woods carried for seven, Mandella Lawrence added four, Blake Roar had five and Alex Young broke loose for 14. The drive turned to the air late as Young connected with Tran Hyunh for 18 yards and then tossed to Frank Kamarec for 19 yards and a score. Young ran for the two-pointer.
Young booted a 28-yard field goal for an 11-0 lead just before the end of the first period.
The Redskins drove 81 yards on their next drive that featured a 17-yard run by Woods. Two plays later, Young swept the left side for six yards and a score with 6:40 on the board. Young booted the PAT.
Needing just four plays and runs of eight and six yards by Huynh and 34 yards by Woods, the winners crossed the goal line on a 19-yard run by Woods with 2:38 on the board. Woods also ran for the two pointer and a 25-0 lead.
In the third quarter, Creek capitalized on a pass interception by Montel McClelland to set up another scoring drive, this one covering 31 yards. Young capped off the drive with a 26-yard pass to Roar with 6:27 on the clock for a 31-0 lead.
Taking advantage of another pass theft by Roar, the Redskins added another six-pointer in the frame on a 5-yard run by Hyunh with 2:16 showing.
Once more before the quarter ended, Indian Creek found the endzone. Hyunh found daylight running down the right sideline scampering 52 yards with six seconds left in the third.
Buckeye finally got on the board in the fourth on a fine 56-yard run by sophomore Eric Banal. Brazilian Joao Bandeira booted the PAT with 9:20 remaining.
Creek countered with 4:10 left in the game on a 10-yard run by Isiah Pavlick.
"I thought that coming in here after the way things went in St. Clairsville last week, that we would be playing with a lot more intensity, but that didn't happen," Panthers coach Phil Pest commented.
"They have a very good team. They had a lot of speed and they have a good and quick line. We had hoped to be able to stay with them, but they kept our defense on the field for a long time.
"We just have to get ready for Harrison Central now and try to finish at .500.
"Hython will be very tough to stop and they have a quarterback who can run well too."

SPOTLIGHT ON:(Back to Menu)
National Trial Competition Finish Caps Notable Year for Advocacy Programs
When the National Mock Trial team of the Class of 2013's David Baumwoll, Kory Ramkawsky and Amanda Ribustello won the District 3 Regional Competition in February, the victory represented not only a "first" for the school but for the state as well. No other New Jersey law school had ever won the regional championship to advance to the national finals. In addition, the competition's top individual honor, the Best Advocate Award, went to Baumwoll.
|With the Quarterfinalist Cup in San Antonio are (l-r): coaches Christopher Karounos '06 and Maritza Rodriguez '11, and National Mock Trial Team members Amanda Ribustello and Kory Ramkawsky.
That success made the quarterfinal finish of Ramkawsky and Ribustello, who represented Rutgers School of Law–Newark in the finals, an even more impressive achievement. The team placed fifth overall out of the 28 best mock trial teams from around the country.
Three hundred and twenty law school teams had competed in the 14 regional competitions that led up to the finals in San Antonio, Texas. In addition to earning National Quarterfinalist honors, Ramkawsky and Ribustello each also received an American College of Trial Lawyers Medallion for Excellence in Trial Advocacy.
At nationals, the Rutgers–Newark Law team won its three preliminary rounds, edging out competitive teams from the University of New Hampshire School of Law, John Marshall School of Law, and the University of California–Berkeley School of Law. It advanced to the quarters, which consisted of the top eight teams, as one of only three undefeated teams. Arguing against Loyola University Chicago School of Law, the team finished just a few points short of making it to the semifinals. Loyola–Chicago eventually took second place in the National Trial Competition.
The team was coached by Christopher Karounos '06, Maritza Rodriguez '11, and Adjunct Professor Judy Russell '81, who together with Associate Dean Andrew Rossner serves as faculty advisor to the Moot Court Board. They also coached the Class of 2014's Anthony Marcum, Christopher Mitchell and Charles Simmons, whose team had an impressive showing competing in the regional round. Mitchell and Simmons were the winners of the Nathan Baker Mock Trial Competition held in Fall 2012; Ramkawsky and Ribustello were the previous year's Baker winners.
As co-chair with Joseph Lo Galbo '13 of the Moot Court Board as well as a National Trial Competition quarterfinalist, Amanda Ribustello is particularly delighted with this year's results. "It was wonderful to see how our hard work and efforts paid off," she said, "but the National Mock Trial Team's success at the regionals and nationals, combined with the successes of our various outside competition teams, marks an important feat for Rutgers–Newark.
"Each team's success has showcased the talent of our students and highlighted Rutgers School of Law–Newark as a real competitor at these competitions. I am so honored that I had the opportunity to be a part of it, both as a competitor and as the co-chair of the Moot Court Board alongside Joe."
|David Nathan and Elizabeth Bergamo took the Second Best Brief Award in the Cardozo/BMI Entertainment and Communication Moot Court Competition.
|Olivia Quinto, Jamies Herrera and Anthony Talarico participated in Seton Hall's John J. Gibbons National Criminal Procedure Moot Court Competition.
|Marolhin Mendez and Sam Hanna represented the law school in New York Law School's Robert F. Wagner Labor and Employment Law Competition.
The increasing excellence of the school's advocacy program was evident in several other competitions this year. As Andrew L. Rossner, Associate Dean for Skills and Professional Education, observed: "Rutgers Law–Newark's successes in a broad range of regional, national and international moot court competitions attests to the quality and strength of our students' advocacy skills. The Moot Court Board, our faculty advisors and coaches have done a fantastic job of enhancing the opportunities and commitment to showcasing our talent nationwide and the competing students have raised our program's profile with their superb advocacy."
In international competitions, the Jessup International Moot Court Team advanced to the quarterfinals of the regional competition, placing sixth out of 20 in the highly-competitive Northeast Regional at the White & Case Jessup Moot Court International Competition. Jessup is one of the oldest and most prestigious moot court competitions in the world.
The Jessup Team of Josh Glass '13, Mary Orsini '13, Emily Button Aguilar '14, Ali Jaloudi '14, and Olivia Pomann '14 went 3-1 in the preliminary rounds and tied for fourth best memorial. Glass was selected as the fourth best oralist. The team is coached by Adjunct Professor William E. Schroeder '88, Sullivan & Cromwell LLP.
Each year the Moot Court Board also sponsors teams that compete in specialized competitions. Kory Ramkawsky headed the selection process for those teams. "Competing in mock trials as an undergraduate pointed me to law school," said Ramkawsky. "I wanted to pass on the invaluable learning opportunity I found in competing to as many of my colleagues as possible. As the outside competitions coordinator, I was able to organize more teams than in recent Moot Court Board history, but that is all I did — I organized, I put the right people together with the right coach, and they took it from there. It is a testament to the dedication, drive, and talent of Rutgers-Newark students that the teams did so well. I am glad just that I was able to have some hand in it."
The first to argue in a specialized competition was the Price Media Law Moot Court Team of Micah Pakay '13, Siobhan Kinealy '14, Ryan Raichilson '15, and David Sisk '14. The students represented Rutgers–Newark Law in the Americas Regional Rounds at Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law. Team members learned new areas of law, dealing exclusively in international law, writing "memorials" instead of briefs, and developing oral advocacy skills. A quarterfinalist, they placed eighth out of more than 20 teams. The team was coached by Thomas J. Cafferty '72, Gibbons PC.
David Nathan '13 and Elizabeth Bergamo '13 competed in the Cardozo/BMI Entertainment and Communication Moot Court Competition. Their team took the Second Best Brief Award and advanced to the semi-finals, finishing in the top four in a competition that drew 30 teams from around the country. Assistance was provided by Associate Dean Andrew Rothman and Clinical Professor John Kettle.
The Class of 2013's Olivia Quinto, Jamie Herrera, and Anthony Talarico competed in Seton Hall's John J. Gibbons National Criminal Procedure Moot Court Competition. The team learned real world skills in appellate advocacy and increased their knowledge of criminal procedure issues. Professor George Thomas coached the team.
Marolhin Mendez '14 and Sam Hanna '14, who competed in New York Law School's Robert F. Wagner Labor and Employment Law Competition against tough competition from schools throughout the U.S., gained tremendous experience as they worked to hone their briefs and moot the issues. They were coached by Randall Brett '07, Law Office of Randall P. Brett.
This Spring, the Moot Court Board also coordinated the 2013 David Cohn Appellate Advocacy Competition, and Lo Galbo wrote and developed a challenging and exciting problem for the competitors. New Jersey Supreme Court Chief Justice Stuart Rabner, the Honorable Julio Fuentes of the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit, and Sylvia Cohn, Esq., representing the Cohn family, presided over the argument. The winner, Kimberly Eaton '14, will represent the law school next year alongside Brian Shemesh '14 and Tom Syverson '14 as members of the National Appellate Team. They will be coached by Alan Thomas '87, Fischer Porter & Thomas P.C.
Before stepping down as co-chairs of the Moot Court Board, Ribustello and Lo Galbo had one last task to oversee – an all-inclusive Moot Court Board Restructuring Plan, which seeks to strengthen the board and ensure that its successes will continue. Passed by the board in April, the plan will be implemented by incoming chairs Christopher Mitchell '14 and David Sisk '14.

BELLAIRE - The adage that all good things have toend sooner or later came into play Saturday. Unfortunately for Bellaire, the good ended in a bad way.
The Big Reds were sailing along at 4-0 until visiting Indian Creek brought the hosts back to reality on a beautiful fall afternoon at Nelson Field.
The Redskins, 48-6 losers to St. Clairsville a week earlier, used dominating performances from their offensive and defensive lines in rolling to a 28-0 Buckeye 8 whitewashing. The shutout was the second straight for the Jefferson Countians against the Big Reds. They posted a 21-0 victory a year ago.

RACKING?UP?YARDS — Indian Creek's Logan Woods picks up some of his 136 yards Saturday during the Redskins 28-0 win at Bellaire. Blocking on the play for Indian Creek are Frankie Kamarec, front, Blake Roar, and Paul Eakle.
"We've still got to learn not to make so many mistakes, but the effort was tremendous," Indian Creek head coach Andrew Conner said. "Defensively, especially. Our defense was kind of questioned last week a little bit, but I thought they played exceptional today."
Added Bellaire head coach Jose Davis, "We got beat in every phase of the game today. We had several missed opportunities, and, against teams like Indian Creek, you can't afford to do those things."
Bellaire, which entered the game ranked No. 1 in the Division V, Region 17 computer poll and 10th in the Associated Press Poll, missed a field goal in the first quarter; had a pass intercepted in the end zone; and fumbled out of the end zone after a 75-yard pass-and-catch, both of those ill-timed turnovers coming in the third quarter.

FIRST DOWNS: Indian Creek 21. Bellaire 11.
PENALTIES: Indian Creek 10-105. Bellaire 5-45.
FUMBLES: Indian Creek 3-2. Bellaire 3-3.
"The things that had been going well for us in the first four weeks didn't go our way today," Davis noted.
The Big Reds let a golden scoring opportunity go by the wayside early on as Abhay Horvath scooped up an Indian Creek (4-1) fumble and returned it 31 yards to the Redskins' 26. A 5-yard motion penalty on first down stalled that drive, which ended with three straight incompletions.
Bellaire put together a good drive on its next possession, but that drive petered out inside the 10, forcing a 24-yard field goal attempt by the usually sure-footed Dalton Conroy, who had made all three of his attempts this season. However, the kick sailed wide.
A Nick Patrone interception on the second play of the second quarter gave Bellaire possession near midfield, but the Big Reds fumbled the ball back two plays later as Monty McClelland pounced on it.
After Alex Young tipped away a Bellaire fourth-down pass, the Redskins took over at their own 27. Tailback Logan Woods picked up 16 yards on second-and-8 before Young rolled right and launched the ball downfield to a wide-open Corey Goodrich for a 45-yard scoring play. Young's PAT made it 7-0 with 5:23 left in the first half.
Logan Koshenka's fumble recovery on the first play of the second half set the Big Reds up at the Indian Creek 20. Spencer Badia found Kenny Hess for 10 yards on first down, and following a motion penalty, the same duo clicked for 10 more yards to the five. Badia's next toss in the end zone was picked off by Frankie Kamarec.
Indian Creek mustered a pair of first downs, but the drive sputtered and the Redskins punted.
Bellaire started at its own 24 and Badia found Patrone on a slant from the left side of the field. Patrone caught the ball in stride, split a pair of defenders and sprinted down the field. Woods followed closely behind, and when Patrone got inside the five, Woods punched the ball loose at the one and it rolled out of the end zone for a touchback.
"That was a backbreaker," Davis allowed.
Badia was picked off by Shane Winland on Bellaire's next series, and Indian Creek only needed four plays to reach the end zone. Backup quarterback Mandella Lawrence, who stepped in when Young was banged up, scampered up the middle from eight yards out, and the extra point made it 14-0 with 2:58 on the third-quarter clock.
The Redskins scored the next two times they touched the ball to put the game out of reach.
Young ran a perfectly executed bootleg to the right and walked into the end zone untouched for a 14-yard touchdown. On Bellaire's next possession, McClelland picked up a fumble and rambled 35 yards to paydirt.
The Redskins didn't allow Badia to sit in the pocket and pick them apart. They pressured him from the get-go, forcing many quick and errant tosses.
"We knew coming in that was their strength," Davis said of the Redskins' defensive front four.
"That's a fierce defensive line and they had us there."
If there was one positive Davis could take from the defeat, "We're 4-1 at the halfway point, and I'll take that. We just have to go back to the drawing board."
Indian Creek ran the ball 53 times for 373 yards as Woods led the way with 136 stripes on 21 totes. Young was 4-for-11 for 68 yards.
Badia completed 19 of 40 attempts for 249 yards, but was picked twice. Patrone and Hess evenly divided 10 catches, with Patrone logging 116 yards.
Things don't get any easier from here on out for the Big Reds. After four straight home games, they hit the road Friday night at unbeaten St. Clairsville.
Indian Creek, meanwhile, welcomes Union Local Friday.

I'm writing an iPhone application. I've seen widgets you can place on your website that users can click on to become a fan of your page. However, looking through the API or documentation, I can't find a way that you can facilitate "becoming a fan" through an application. I've spent about a day and a half pouring through the Facebook API docs and the cloud.
Has anyone else had success with this?
For example, say I was writing an app that listed cars, and I wanted to become a fan of the Delorean from within my app -- is there a way to do this?
If there is no solution, the alternative way I can think of is using a webview and linking to a page with a fan widget.
