Things to remember:
· Assembling the Story Teller Book:
The title will be the cover page to your book.
You must also create a table of contents which will include page numbers.
Binding the book: Staples are NOT acceptable and will result in a 10 point deduction! Clear, plastic binders are acceptable, but be creative in your binding.
Number your pages!
___ 1. Title – Colorfully write the name of your Story Teller Project, the title of the autobiography or biography, and author on a title page. Also, include your name, date, and the class period on this page. Make sure the colors and style you choose reflect the tone of the book.
___ 2. Shape Poem – A shape poem is a poem that describes an object and is written in the shape of the object. The shape that you choose should symbolize something from your book and at the same time, explain the concept behind the shape.
___ 3. Setting Senses - Choose at least three of the five senses to describe the setting of the book in at least two paragraphs. Was the setting a backdrop for the story, or was it a necessary part of the story? Remember that the setting includes both time and place. (For example: In The Watsons Go to Birmingham-1963, the setting was critical to the plot of the book. The book was set in the 1960's during the Civil Rights Movement when bombings were way too common in Birmingham, Alabama. Christopher Paul Curtis created this historical fiction book where Joetta (Joey) Watson was in the bombing at 16th Street Baptist Church on September 15, 1963. He discusses the loud booms of various bombings, especially the one Joey was in. He mentions that Kenny's 'ears didn't work' afterwards, due to him being in shock. Also, sight is used as he describes the scene of the church in the aftermath of the bombing.)
___ 4. Timeline – Create a timeline of 15 major events from your person's life, and correctly label the events.
___ 5. Defining Moment – Draw the most important, most exciting, saddest, or most thought-provoking moment from your person's life. Explain your drawing and its significance to the story in at least one paragraph underneath your picture.
___ 6. Vocabulary Search – Locate at least ten challenging vocabulary words from the book. Write the words and their definitions and usage in a sentence with context clues. Include small pictures to help you remember the words.
___ 7. Lessons Learned – What are some important lessons your person learned in his/her lifetime? What lessons can you learn from him/her? (Themes)
___ 8. Quotations – Include at least two important quotations that are significant. Use creativity to add color and/or drawings to help showcase the importance of the quotes.
___ 9. Photographs – Choose at least three photographs and/or pieces of art that represent your person's life. Write a one paragraph summary including names, dates, and reason for selection.
___ 10. Evaluation – Write your opinion of the book you selected. Make a claim, and use examples to support your opinion. Don't say, "It was good." Be specific. This must be three paragraphs.

ESSENTIAL QUESTION: What makes a Winner?
2nd Nine Weeks Mini Project Due Date: October 22, 2015
During the 2nd grading period, all of our reading and writing will be focused around answering our essential question, "What makes a winner?". Students will be exploring the answer to this question through the reading of our extended text, We Beat the Streets by George Jenkins, Samson Davis, Rameck Hunt, and Sharon Draper. We will read a variety of informational texts, including articles about: Michael Phelps, Lance Armstrong, Jonathan Vaughters, Darryl Strawberry, Nancy Kerrigan, Tonya Harding, and others.
Our writing focus will be learning the elements of informational writing. Students will be writing in response to texts read throughout this unit, as well as participating in several research activities.
It is recommended that students have their own copy of We Beat the Streets in order to read outside of the classroom. The book can be purchased at Books-A-Million, Barnes and Noble, or online at Amazon.com. The reading of this novel will take place both during classtime and at home. A class set is available to use in my classroom, but they will not be available for checkout. A project will be assigned on the book and will be due at the end of the grading period.
This unit is always a favorite of our students... and mine! :) I hope your child will enjoy reading and learning about current events and delving further into high interest topics. Please, feel free to contact me at anytime by email at: firstname.lastname@example.com, I will return your email.

Skip to comments.DEMO SEND CEASE-AND-DESIST LETTER TO REPUBLICANS OVER AUTOMATED PHONE CALLS TO VOTERS- GOP Reply #95
Posted on 11/06/2006 2:44:01 PM PST by excludethis
click here to read article
One call I heard apparently is illegal. A virginia voter, who has lived there for 16 years, apparently used to live in NY. He got a call telling him that he was going to be arrested and prosecuted if he showed up to vote Tuesday because he was still registered in NY.
Excuse me. In Minnesota the Democrats have been doing this for months despite the fact it violates local campaign law. Where was all the coverage of this illegal camapaigning by Democrats ABC propaganda?
Perhaps they would also like to discontinue the calls they are sending into Iowa REPUBLICAN households informing them their polling site has been changed.
They're Creeps. Total Creeps.
The GOP is relying too much on phoning so that it can reach huge numbers of voters. They seem to have forgotten about the importance of QUALITY of contact. More emphasis should have been placed on precinct-walking. The idea of making multiple calls to the same voter is ill-advised. (And autodials -- recorded calls or "robocalls" -- are way overused.) As so often, the "professionals" don't look at it from the standpoint of the average Joe -- or the average volunteer.
There should be one call to each low and medium propensity voter about absentee voting, then, at the end, one call explaining where his/her polling place is located and its hours.
I second that emotion, and I don't even have a land-line! However, my friends that do don't answer until they hear my voice on the machine, because they're getting so many calls...
I don't get it.
I'm getting an equal number of those obnoxious calls from both sides.
"The only one I answered just had a live girl reminding me to vote. Mentioned nothing else."
I "talked" to John McCain, Laura Bush, and Tommy Thompson, neither of which replied to my questions.
Liberals are out digging up dead bodies to vote. How about a cease and desist against Democrats in grave yards and in dementia units.
lol, all three of them called me today too.:)
Would somebody send a CEASE-AND-DESIST LETTER to my Democommie Congressman Visclosky!
If it's from a known Democrat I hang up. If it's from someone that's running in a non party race (e.g., State Supreme Court or Circuit Court, etc.) I listen. In fact, one helped me to decide about a supposedly Non partisan "Independent" whom I knew nothing about running against a seated superior court judge here....ordinarily I'd have voted against the incumbent, but I found out the "Independent" is really a Demoncrat who won't admit it and has accepted donations from "amnesty for illegal aliens" Overall, if it makes the Demoncrats upset, then I AM FOR IT, PERIOD.
The new trick apparently is... I am calling to give you information about Candidate X. If you hang up, it redials you six more times. If you listen to the whole message, you know it's an attack ad, but the dims are getting their campaign offices flooded with angry calls about them calling non stop. It's not illegal. Well the multiple calls might be, but it's a good dirty trick.
If you have caller I.D. & don't answer the call then in 15 minutes the automated system calls you again. I let the answering machine screen the calls. The automated system recognizes the call as being answered and I don't have to listen to either one of the two. Dems and GOP you win no votes by pestering people to death each and every evening from the same candidates calling them every night.
Did they ask all our candidates to concede too?
Dems: I see your "cease and desist" and I raise you a "kiss and my butt".
I'm confused as to why. Is the GOP calling dem voters telling them that their day to vote is November 8th?
i can't stand them either and have been getting a lot. I already voted Straight Republican last week and don't need to hear anything to help me vote. In fact I think the majority of people have their minds made up one way or the other without phone calls.
I think you're right. Tom Ridge just called me. 52 calls and counting! It'll be 100 by the time the night is over. I'm probably on my own call list, I can call myself. "Hello, Mr. Big E, this is Big E with the Jim Gerlach campaign, and we'd like to ask for your support tomorrow......"
Actually, I forward the phone to my cell while I'm out, so I can be making solicitations on their phone, and receiving solicitations on my cell, all at the same time.
Besides Clinton today, Joe Piscopo (recording) called a few days ago representing Italian-Americans in NJ. Yesterday Mario Andretti did the same. Both urging to vote for Tom Kean, Jr. Along with those calls, I received a minimum of 20 recordings over the past week....both Republicans and Demorats.
Did you mean that dems vote Wednesday?
Bill Clinton called me today!!
"Cease and desist, my @ss."
Tell 'em to eat a worm.
Hey Dems: GO POUND SAND!!
Really, I've never seen a bigger bunch of juvenile hoodlums. Around here, the Move-On lib-Dem a-holes and whole-a's for two months have been sledgehammering our Fitzpatrick (R-8) for Congress signs, stealing yard signs, and spray painting bumper stickers. (Pennsylvania)
It is sickening. If that's the way the underlings act, imaging the Democrat being in charge.
I like the calls, it's great they're so organized. We had them from Laura Bush, Pres. Bush, John McCain and a few others just the last 2 days.
Here's the latest photo of BJ clinton, lecturing us on how badly the republicans have messed things up. There goes that finger again. (Actually I just wanted to try posting a picture.)
This link to a video of President Bush today is the best ever. He is on fire.
I'm jealous that you heard from Laura and W. I didn't. :(
We've been getting lawn signs stolen or destroyed for years. Luckily, the signs for my congresswoman (Sue Kelly) haven't been defaced this go-around, but the Bush signs in 2000/2004 and Lazio signs back in 2000 had an average life expectancy of about 2 days.
"and I'm a registered Libertarian."
So is Laura Bush. ;^D
Odd. The ONLY automated phone calls I have gotten have been from my stupid Dem governor. And of course, it is full of half truths and distortions.
I have recieved 3 automated Political calls and one non-automated polictical call in the last 2 days. All them were from the democrats. None from the republicans.
I got a hilarious call from Ben Stein in California yesterday for Arnold. He asked a question, then said "anyone? anyone?"
Nobody calls me, and I'm listed.
I pity the first librat that does, though. I'll get a chance to tell them about my bumperstickers.
This is part of the Repub response.....the Dems do this themselves, apparently:
"In Fact, with respect to telephone disclaimers, we have simply copied what you own national committee does. I have a recording of a pre-recorded phone message from DNC counsel Joe Sandler which contains the same sorts of disclaimers (including placement) as NRCC calls. Maybe you ought to send a letter to the DNC as well?"
Dems are such liars.
This seems to be a big deal for the Duckworth-Roskam race.
Does anybody have any latest polling data on that race in Illinois?
It was looking really bad for Roskam for awhile, with Duckworth ahead 10 points or more after other polls showing Roskam ahead.
Anything new?
Let the Democrats talk all they want to you; ask them questions. Pretend you're interested. All that time spent with you is less time trying to brainwash someone else. :)
No kidding. I hung up on at least a half-dozen automated political calls just yesterday.
I had an e-mail from the GOP about an hour ago telling me where I vote and giving the directions. Of course, I have voted there for 33 years and it is about two minutes from my home.
I suppose they are so smart these days that they know how forgetful I am. Either that, or they are military.
I had a few choice words for the Clinton recording today. Too bad he couldn't hear me!
The Dems need to cease and desist the disgusting commercial I just saw, featuring Iraq veterans blaming the world's ills on Iraq, and finished with Weasely Clark at his crazy-eyed best saying there were more terrorists because of Iraq.
Stop Illegal Robocalling!: Democrats Send Cease and Desist Letter to Republicans
November 06, 2006 6:07 PM
ABC News' Ellen Davis Reports: Bob Bauer, General Counsel for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee sent a cease and desist letter to Don McGahn, General Counsel of the National Republican Campaign Committee requesting a stop to what he alleges is an illegal form of random calling of voter's residences using recorded political messages, often known as 'Robo-calling'.
The letter states: "The NRCC calls do no identify at the outset, and as required, that they are sponsored by the NRCC. These calls do no contain a telephone number. This failure to comply with the law denies callers effective sponsorship information. Without the benefit of a number, they are also unable to request that they not be called again. And we have received reports that individuals have been contacted multiple times by your prerecorded calls, despite their continued refusal to accept the calls."
Don McGahn, Council for the Republicans responded in this letter: "Thank you for your press release. Per your request, this is to let you know that there is no need for the NRCC to, in your words, bring its actitivities into compliance with Federal law, because NRCC acitivities are already in compliance with Federal Law.
In Fact, with respect to telephone disclaimers, we have simply copied what you own national committee does. I have a recording of a pre-recorded phone message from DNC counsel Joe Sandler which contains the same sorts of disclaimers (including placement) as NRCC calls. Maybe you ought to send a letter to the DNC as well?"
When asked about the letter, NRCC communications director Carl Forti said "we comply with all federal laws and regulations regarding political phone calls."
NRCC Communicatiosn director Carl Forti, in a separate conversation with ABC News's David Chalian, he said that they have made no phone calls past 8 PM, which suggests he realizes that would constitute a violation.

Desperate last ditch play Dems.

Verizon paid dearly to put iPhones in the hands of subscribers in the latest quarter, holding back its profits in the hope that its customers will rack up higher monthly bills and stay loyal.
The quarter saw the launch of the iPhone 4S, the second model to be sold by Verizon, and it was clear that many had been waiting for it. Verizon on Tuesday said it sold 4.3 million of them, and 7.7 million smartphones total.
But by the upside-down logic of the wireless industry, higher sales mean lower profits for the quarter. Verizon Wireless subsidizes each smartphone by hundreds of dollars, figuring that it will make the money back in service fees over a two-year contract. That means the wireless division, though still highly profitable, posted a rare drop in operating income for the fourth quarter.

- Targeted advertising deemed 'creepy'
An iPhone that Verizon buys from Apple for around $600 is sold in stores for $200. The question is whether phone companies ever really make that money back.
Sanford Bernstein analyst Craig Moffett argues that the example of AT&T, which has sold iPhones since 2007, indicates that the expected boost to profits never really materializes, because the phone companies have to keep subsidizing each new iPhone release.
"The earnings pop will always be a year away," Moffett wrote Tuesday.
In the results of Verizon Communications Inc., the phone company that owns 55 percent of Verizon Wireless, the effect of the iPhone sales was masked by large charge for adjusting the value of its pension plans.
The New York-based company reported that it lost $2.02 billion, or 71 cents per share, in the last three months of 2011. That compares with net income of $2.64 billion, or 93 cents per share, a year ago.
Verizon had warned that the big pension charge was coming.
Excluding the pension effect and another one-time item, Verizon earned 52 cents per share. That was a penny shy of the average forecast of analysts polled by FactSet. Comparable earnings last year were 54 cents per share.
Verizon had warned that hefty smartphone sales would hold back earnings, but analysts had expected a slightly smaller drop. Verizon shares fell 90 cents, or 2.3 percent, to $37.50 in morning trading. On Jan. 3, they hit a four-year high of $40.48.
Revenue rose 7.7 percent to $28.4 billion from $26.4 billion a year ago. The latest figure was in line with analysts' expectations.
Wireless accounted for all of the revenue increase, as Verizon's wireline division saw a small decrease. The "old" phone company essentially breaks even, despite the popularity of its cable-like FiOS TV and Internet service.
Usually, Verizon's overall revenue increase is driven higher monthly wireless service revenues, as it gains customers. But this quarter, the largest contributor to the rise in revenue was phone sales, which doubled from last year to $2.2 billion.
Verizon Wireless added 1.2 million new subscribers on contract-based plans, which are the most lucrative. It was the second-best result in the last two years, further solidifying the company's position as the industry leader, with 87.4 million phones and other devices on contract-based plans, and 108.7 million total.
Vodafone Group PLC of Britain owns the remaining 45 percent of Verizon Wireless, and lays claim to a corresponding share of the profits.

The site description information is stored in two places in the

You manually add this information as straight info or using the WordPress template tags. All the information for both methods is in the article on the Codex:
What Google grabs is up to Google. There are no garrantees. Sometimes this information comes from submitting your site.
Google does like to grab anything that you put in as a headline, too. For example, I have this at the top of my header:

Judge tosses spill claims against dispersant maker
NEW ORLEANS (AP) – A federal judge presiding over litigation spawned by the massive Gulf of Mexico oil spill has dismissed all claims against the manufacturer of a chemical dispersant that was used to break up crude gushing from BP's blown-out well.
U.S. District Judge Carl Barbier ruled last week that federal laws shield Illinois-based Nalco Co. from liability over the government's use of Corexit after the 2010 spill.
Lawyers for cleanup workers and coastal residents exposed to the dispersant had argued Nalco isn't immune from claims it supplied a defective product that wasn't safe for use in the Gulf.
But the judge said the claims would create an "obstacle to federal law" if he allowed them to proceed.
More than 1.8 million gallons of dispersant were used in responding to the spill.

You have to open the flashlight first thing and install AA battery, right off the O -ring seal broke in half, now its not water proof ,however went to the hardware store and found a similar O-ring and
installed . This should not of happened IMHO.
I have found this to be a good product. I think it's a pretty good deal for what you are getting. There is quite good light output considering it has a single led diode and I really like that it only takes a single AA battery. Very easy to keep a spare battery in my hiking pack. I have not had issues with the O-ring like others said. The end compartment is big enough for a cotton ball and some matches as pictures which is great for redundancy in survival equipment. I like the rubber grip and attached a small piece of paracord around the end loop. Overall a nice little package.

Gurupaurnima is always the most special day in the life of any spiritual seeker or Sadhak. This year's Gurupaurnima was so peaceful for me. Had simple heartfelt worship and gratitude toward Sadhna and Gurudev was my Gurupaurnima celebration yesterday.

Poem: Love Is The Poetry...

Poem: Soothing Raindrops
After the brutal heatwave this summer, rains have brought the most awaited relief. For the past three months, it seemed like life will be burning forever in the blistering heat. But just within some hours of drizzle, the exhausting battle with the sun is ended.
Mother Nature loves her children, all of us and protects us even though we have lost all the hopes. Spending time in nature, unearth the truths of the world. These realizations grow us spiritually, which in turn make us child again; take us in the childlike mind when we didn't have any issues that come with ego and when we were happy with what we are.
I try to enjoy every raindrop in the light rain and here is a poem why I love the rain so much...

Poem: Is It The Magic Called Love?
The feeling of love is so beautiful that it inspires to write a lot. Sometimes this feeling is just without any reason, not necessarily for someone. But you just feel to express it. You just want to write, talk, sing about love. I can't ever cease to write about all the shades of love. Wait, I am still discovering what love is.
Let's splash vibrant colors of love today on the canvas of poetry,
beginning with lines I tweeted yesterday.

Hymn to Parabrahm Shriram
Today's poem is a hymn to Lord Shriram and His omnipresent Parabrahma Swaroopam.
A few days back I read about Rama Teertham at Rameshwaram on Arti's famous travel blog, My Yatra Diary. 'My Yatra Diary' is one of my most favorite blogs since I joined the blogging world. Arti brings the essence of spirituality and tranquility existing in the spiritual places in her diary through her words and exceptional photography, which give an experience of virtual Yatra to the readers. The day I read the post on Rama Teertham, Places to see / Teerthas of Rameshwaram: Rama Teertham, my mind irresistibly stayed there at the teertham to experience the vibes of peace. And when it returned, it returned with a hymn. Read Arti's post first, closing all the distraction for some minutes, experience the divine calmness and then read this hymn...

My kids are fighting with me because they don't want to go to their dad, he drinks and does drugs and doesnt have beds or a bedroom for them to stay in. He doesnt get them clothes that fit, and when i send clothes he sends my kids back home with clothes that are 2 small, they don't take showers or brush their teeth while they are there and they make my girls watch his younger kids, my oldest being 13, 12, and 10. Their father is abusive to his wife and abusive to his parents in front of the kids. My kids have never told me he has ever tried to hit them or anything but they are somewhat afraid seeing what he does to his wife and his parents.
Probate Attorney
The red flags I see here are drugs, alcohol, and family violence. These are all issues which, when present, a judge will consider limiting parental visitation. A parent who displays these behaviors in front of children may have child visitation halted or only be eligible for supervised visitation.

Thank Russian and German workers for their revolutions that ended the war to end all wars. The fact that imperialist and other wars continue today shows that our task as socialists remains – to fight for socialism to end war. Only democratic socialist revolutions by the mass of workers can end war.
Jeremy Corbyn through my Australian eyes

Comments: 5
Many of my readers will be hoping for a Jeremy Corbyn in Australia to move the Labor Party here to the left. There is no Corbyn in the Parliamentary Labor Party. The Labor left, such as it is, is thoroughly imbued with the logic of neoliberalism. In the main it is a tribal allegiance rather than an ideological ferment of ideas to challenge capitalism. You never hear the S word from these very models of a modern major general of capital. None of the possible contenders for Corbyn down under have the same track record as Corbyn in opposing austerity or fighting against social and political injustice. Indeed people like Albanese and Plibersek have been Ministers in Labor governments that have implemented neoliberal policies and attacked public services and workers' rights and conditions. They are part of the very problem Corbyn is fighting against.
Is Cuba coming in from the cold?

Comments: none
In a wide ranging and thought provoking article in RS21, Mike Gonzalez charts the recent deal between Washington and Havana and asks if this really is the end of an era with the lifting of the embargo. He concludes:
For socialists there is nothing to be gained from pretending, as some international commentators have done, that nothing has really changed and that the agreement is a victory for Cuban socialism. Nor can we associate ourselves with the gloating of a global capitalist class which, sadly, will be the beneficiary of the decision. From the Cochabamba water wars of 2000 onwards, a new understanding of what socialism means has been on the agenda, active on the historical stage. And it is a very different understanding from the centralized, bureaucratic state structures of the Soviet era, which Cuba reproduced. The new vision is of a society run and controlled directly by its majority, shaped by their priorities, and defined by its transparent, democratic processes. That is some way ahead, but it is present and alive in the logic of the movements that have brought change to Latin America in this last exciting decade and a half and that will continue to organize, in a complex reality, for the realisation of the dream of a better world.

So let us defend Lenin and October 1917, but also let us face the realities of our current difficult situation, without bluff or triumphalism. As Cliff used to put it, "If you sit on Marx's shoulders you see far, but if you sit on Marx's shoulders and close your eyes, you don't see very far at all."
Stalin's rivers of bloods

On the 60th anniversary of the death of Russian dictator Joseph Stalin, Ian Birchall in Socialist Worker UK looks at his life and how his politics damaged the idea of socialism for decades. Stalinism offers a bleak image of what socialism is not. But the early years of workers' power in Russia, and the traditions of those who resisted Stalin's rise, often at the cost of their lives, offer a vision that can inspire and teach us.

text: Logging Oregon County Files $1.4 Billion Lawsuit Against State By Chris Lehman • Jan 13, 2016 Listen Listening... / An Oregon county is suing the state over forestry money. Commissioners from Linn County, located between Salem and Eugene, announced the $1.4 billion class-action lawsuit Wednesday at a press conference at the state Capitol. Groups Ask Washington State To Stop Logging Burned Areas Of Methow Valley By Anna King • Jun 2, 2015 Listen Listening... / Recent flash flooding in the Methow Valley area in northeast Washington state has critics asking the state to stop logging there. Oso Logging Inquiry Offers Few Answers By John Ryan • Dec 10, 2014 brewbooks / Flickr Shortly after this year's deadly Oso landslide, investigative reporters revealed that loggers had clear-cut in a no-logging zone directly above the hillside that collapsed. That logging, back in 2004, removed trees in an area scientists had said could worsen the risk of landslides. A report out Tuesday from the Department of Natural Resources leaves unanswered the question of why logging took place on what should have been forbidden ground. Wash. Forest Practices Board Adopts New Logging Guidelines By John Ryan • Nov 12, 2014 brewbooks / Flickr Washington state essentially prohibits logging on unstable slopes - since removing trees can worsen erosion and landslides. But it's not always obvious which slopes are unstable. State officials Wednesday adopted a more cautious approach around slopes like the one that collapsed onto the town of Oso in March. That deep-seated landslide killed 43 people. Wash. State Mulling New Logging Regs After Deadly Oso Slide By Bellamy Pailthorp • Nov 12, 2014 Snohomish County / Flickr How to prevent unsafe logging on steep slopes that could cause future landslides will be at the center of discussions tomorrow in Olympia. In the wake of the Oso tragedy, the state's Forest Practices Board is in the process of updating permitting guidelines. The board is rewriting the section of its manual that deals with unstable slopes, based on the latest and best advice from a panel of geologists. State Forester Aaron Everett says while the guidelines are not binding, they should make it harder for companies seeking to log in unsafe areas. No Logging Moratorium In Wake Of Oso Landslide By Tom Banse • May 13, 2014 Snohomish County / Flickr Listen Listening... / 1:03 In the wake of the deadly landslide near Oso, Wash., there will be no immediate moratorium on logging around unstable slopes. Some conservationists and regulators wanted to push for that. Environmental lawyer and activist Peter Goldman of Seattle was one of them. But Goldman says the state Forest Practices Board learned Tuesday it doesn't have the authority to impose a logging moratorium. USGS Geologist Doubts Exact Cause Of Oso Landslide Will Ever Be Known By Tom Banse • May 12, 2014 Washington Governor's Office Listen Listening... / 0:54 A federal geologist doubts the cause of the deadly landslide near Oso, Wash. will ever be fully pinned down. During testimony in Olympia, USGS scientist Jonathan Godt said heavy rains in February and March certainly contributed to the slide. Geologists have also ruled out an earthquake as a trigger. But Godt says a big missing piece is groundwater flows, for which there's no data. Oso: Clearcut Extended Into No-Logging Zone By John Ryan • Mar 28, 2014 Washington Department of Natural Resources Listen Listening... / 2:39 State officials say they didn't approve clearcutting inside a no-logging zone directly above Saturday's deadly landslide in the town of Oso. But aerial photos show a clearcut extending into the zone where a loss of trees would heighten the risk of landslides. Conservationists Say They'll Sue Over Privatization Of State Forest By Rachael McDonald • Mar 13, 2014 Oregon Department of Forestry Listen Listening... / 1:12 Conservation groups want timber companies to know they'll sue if an endangered seabird's habitat is threatened by logging. The groups object to the potential privatization of the Elliott State Forest in Oregon's coast range. 2013: A Good Year For West Coast Log And Lumber Exports By Devan Schwartz • Feb 24, 2014 Sean Mack / Wikimedia Commons Listen Listening... / 1:05 Lumber and log exports from the West Coast rose about 20 percent last year, with demand peaking in the fourth quarter. Most of the West Coast logs shipped overseas are going to China, although Japan has upped its demand, as well. With limited forestlands of their own, these countries rely on the United States' timber supply. Pages1 2 3 4 5 next › last »

Hartford - Two bills that aim to protect residents when registered sexual offenders are released in their community got a hearing in the General Assembly's Judiciary Committee Wednesday.
The Connecticut Conference of Municipalities, Connecticut Council of Small Towns, several public officials and members of the public testified in support of Senate Bill 432, which would require the state's Department of Emergency Services and Public Protection to email the chief executive officer of a municipality when a registered sex offender is released. Currently, local police are informed when a sex offender is released and the state's online sex offender registry is updated.
The other bill, which would require sex offenders who are released into the community to live at least 1,000 feet away from an elementary or secondary school or a licensed child day care center, received less support.
Montville Mayor Ronald K. McDaniel said he supports both measures but that neither would help the town with its concerns about sex offenders from other towns being placed in Norwich or Montville.
Last year, in response to community concerns, the Department of Correction told the Southeastern Connecticut Council of Governments that more offenders were moved from Norwich to other communities than were placed in Norwich from other towns. Several municipal officials weren't convinced.
State Sen. Joseph Crisco, D-Woodbridge, who testified in favor of Senate Bill 432, said the bill would give the chief executive officer discretion to inform residents.
Residents of a Woodbridge neighborhood were unaware of a group home that housed two sex offenders for several years, he said.
One had been convicted of four felony sex crimes involving girls ages 5 and 7; the other had been convicted of two felony crimes involving the sexual assault of a child, Crisco said.
The town eventually moved the bus stop that had been located in front of the group home, he said.
House Bill 5449, which would require sex offenders to live at least 1,000 feet from elementary and secondary schools and licensed child day care centers, was opposed by many who said it would create more homelessness among sex offenders, thereby making it difficult for parole officers to monitor them.
McDaniel said Montville doesn't want sex offenders living near its schools. But so far, the town has been unsuccessful in passing an ordinance that limits where sex offenders can live, he said.
"We have child safety zones already here in Montville, which prevents them from hanging out at parks or elementary schools or anywhere where there are children," he said. "But there isn't anything about living."
The mayor said in a phone interview Wednesday, "If we knew that they were being released or housed in a very sensitive area, we would certainly try to address that if they were still on probation or parole with a probation officer or if it was with a private organization that works with them."
McDaniel noted that The Connection Inc., which runs the January Center treatment facility in Montville, and parole officers claimed the offenders were homeless so they couldn't return to the community they came from.
"I understand there are homeless people, and I am not trying to minimize that," McDaniel said. "But if they were homeless, they were homeless somewhere."
Eric Ellison, parole manager for the DOC, said stable housing is important for re-entry into the community and that residency restrictions do not prevent sexual offenses.
Jillian Gilchrest, director of public policy and communication for the statewide coalition Connecticut Sexual Assault Crisis Services, said that "dangerous offenders who pose a risk to children are already prohibited from living near schools, parks, day care centers, and other places where children congregate." In nearly 95 percent of child sexual abuse cases, the victim knows the perpetrator, she said, so a restriction on where the offenders live could create a false sense of security.

Video: Wis. officer narrowly avoids out-of-control truck
While the officer was standing in the road at the crash scene, he saw a pickup that was sliding on the ice coming at him
By Daily Tribune Media
WISCONSIN RAPIDS, Wis. — After a police officer had a close call at the scene of a crash Saturday morning, department officials decided to use a squad car video as a reminder to other drivers.
Just before 6:30 a.m. Saturday, a Wisconsin Rapids Police officer responded to a report of a car that had gone out of control on a curve in the 2000 block of Second Avenue South, Wisconsin Rapids Police Lt. Brian Krzykowski said.
While the officer was standing in the road at the crash scene, he saw a pickup that was sliding on the ice coming at him, Krzykowski said. The officer was able to scramble over a snowbank to get out of the pickup's path. He was not injured.

The headphones that British Airways passengers use to enjoy in-flight entertainment may have been manufactured by a prison factory in China.
A former inmate of Dongguan prison in Southern China told the Australian Financial Review that he made headphones for "the Australian airline Qantas, the one with the kangaroo as its logo," as well as, "for Emirates, British Airways and lots of others".
Another former inmate, Danny Cancian, who served four years for manslaughter, said inmates were "taken outside and tasered" if they failed to meet the factory's production targets.
"It's a very cruel environment," he said. "You wake up every morning wondering if you are going to survive the day."
Dongguan City Joystar Electronic Co, which uses prison labour, said it made 300,000 sets of disposable headphones for Qantas last year to fulfil an order for the Vietnamese company Airphonics.
Qantas confirmed that Airphonics was its main supplier, and has now suspended its dealings with the company pending further investigation.
"Qantas places very strict conditions on suppliers and we conduct regular audits of factories ourselves to ensure those conditions - which include no forced labour - are met," a statement said.
Emirates said there was "no evidence of any unethical practices in the headset manufacturing process".
British Airways said: "Our supplier has made it abundantly clear that it has never used prisons in China to produce any British Airways headphones. We pride ourselves on providing the very best products for our customers."
"All of our suppliers are subject to a rigorous procurement process prior to appointment and we enforce compliance to a robust Labour Standards Policy throughout the duration of the contract. Linstol provide BA's headsets and like all of our thousands of suppliers they must comply with our ethical code of practice."
The company said Linstol had assured them they only use "credited factories", continuing: "When a supplier contract is signed an audit which is internationally recognisable is conducted. The audit monitors supply chains and ensures that the highest standards of procurement are maintained."

Employment Index in U.S. Declined in March on Fewer Job Openings
A measure of U.S. job prospects in March declined for the first time in six months, indicating a pause in the recent progress of the labor market.
The Conference Board's Employment Trends Index decreased 0.2 percent to 111.2 after climbing in the prior month to a revised 111.43, which was the highest level since June 2008, the New York-based private research group said today. The measure rose 3.7 percent from March 2012.
Today's report follows Labor Department figures released last week that showed the job market slipped in March as employers hired fewer workers than forecast.
The index "is still signaling moderate job growth in the coming months," Gad Levanon, director of macroeconomic research at the Conference Board, said today in a statement. "The current trend suggests faster growth than the disappointing increase of 88,000 jobs in March. At the same time, 200,000 new jobs per month in the current economic environment is not in the cards either."
The 88,000 gain in payrolls was the smallest in nine months and less than the most-pessimistic forecast in a Bloomberg survey, after a revised 268,000 February increase, Labor Department figures showed on April 5. The jobless rate fell to 7.6 percent, the lowest since December 2008, from 7.7 percent.
The Employment Trends Index aggregates eight labor-market indicators to forecast short-term hiring trends. On average, it can signal a rebound in hiring as little as three months before the fact and can predict job declines six to nine months in advance, the Conference Board said.
Four of the eight components in the index deteriorated last month, led by a smaller share of firms with positions they're not able to fill right now, a pickup in initial jobless claims and fewer job openings.

Cast: Wesley Pipes, Guy DiSilva, Chloe Black, Sylvio Mata, Butterfly, Lovelace, Khronica Lewinski, Jason (I)
Critical Rating: AAA
Genre: All-Sex
Non-discriminating fans of young, black girls with bubble butts will definitely enjoy this.
Although it is unlikely that the four girls in Black Carnal Coeds 7 are actually college students, they are all very young and extremely carnal. Bubble butts, huge black cock and acrobatic pretzel positions are highlighted throughout this video. And the girls make every effort to show that they have what it takes to mix it up in the world of porn.
Each scene begins with a brief interview with the girl. Khronica Lewinski says she loves getting gangbanged. "One dick just isn't enough," she adds. Unfortunately, she only gets one dick in this scene, but it's a very long black dick, belonging to Wesley Pipes, which she deep throats to the hilt. He responds with a pre-nom Best Cunnilingus, (despite the non-existence of that category), breaking the widespread stereotype that black men don't like to lick pussy. These two then crank out a stellar fuck scene.
Lovelace has a big, round bubble butt and also prefers more than one guy at a time. She gets on her knees and ably performs her own style of cock worship. Butterfly and Chloe perform adequately as well.
Black Carnal Coeds 7 will appeal to the Afro-centric porn hounds and Lewinski's scene is definitely notable. The rest are average.
