North Kitsap performs in all-region music contests
POULSBO The ears of the North Kitsap community auditorium were busy March 22-25 as North End schools hosted three of the four Olympic Music Educators Association competitions in the same week.
The events brought together bands from throughout the Olympic region to perform for a panel of judges that critiqued each group with kudos and corrections.
The OMEA contests were similar to a school band version of American Idol.
The judges were consistent throughout, they told it like it was, said North Kitsap High School band instructor David Dunbar.
The high schools contest was an all-day affair March 25, while the junior high school bands performed March 24 and the junior high choirs gathered March 22.
All three events went off without a hitch, organizers said. And according to scores, North Kitsaps musicians performed at pitch.
At the high school level, NKHS wind symphony scored top-level Is across the board, while the symphonic band received all IIs. Both groups played well, Dunbar noted, but they still came away with productive food for thought.
Overall performance from beginning to end was good to see, they did well, Dunbar said. They knew the things the judges were saying were right on. Theres always stuff to work on.
After receiving a quick, four-minute feedback session following each bands performance, Dunbar knew there was more the judges could expand upon, so he arranged for one of the judges to stay in Poulsbo and pay a visit to NKHS for a more in-depth critique March 24.
The contest we had on Saturday is our WASL, Dunbar said, adding that a good portion of the band curriculum goes toward preparation for these kind of events, therefore detailed feedback on those performances is very useful.
At the junior high contest March 24, the Kingston Junior High School band got all the feedback it needed from a standing ovation of nearly 700 people the only one of its kind throughout the 2006 contest.
Just like a three-point shot at the buzzer to win the game and the crowd goes wild, this was one of those performances, said KJH instructor Jeff Haag. To have all the other schools stand up and support (the KJH band) did something in their heart for these kids.
Kingston played the slot right before lunch, and before taking the stage, band members knew that nearly all 13 bands at the competition were sticking around to see them perform. The Cavalier instrumentalists took the stage with a backdrop of applause and bowed out in the same fashion after a musically moving performance.
Exhilarating, KJH wind ensemble member Sara Whiteley described how it felt to be awarded a standing ovation. And in response to what it was that prompted the enthusiasm, she said, Our inspiring second song everyone was left speechless by it.
Even the judges were left in awe as one adjudicator commented, Yes! Yes! Yes!
The KJH wind ensemble received an overall top score of I on the afternoon, as did the Poulsbo Junior High Band, which performed earlier that morning.
We had the opportunity where we got to host three out of the four (OMEA) festivals all at once. It was a busy time, Haag said. At all times, we were running things to make sure that it was a smooth well-run event, which it was.

A Richmond County grand jury named Ronnie Lee Berrian, 28, in an indictment returned Wednesday. Berrian has been in jail without bond since his arrest in the slaying of 66-year-old Russell Boyd.
Sheriff's deputies found Boyd's body at Berrian's home in the 1100 block of Camille Street about 8:50 a.m. on Oct. 10. Boyd had been shot once in the chest.
Berrian has one prior felony conviction for theft. He completed the Richmond County Superior Court sentence for that case in November 2010.

Cardinal, Archbishop of Canterbury and Chancellor of England, b. at Langham in Rutland; d. at Avignon, France, 22 July, 1376.
Nothing is known of his early life, but in 1346 he was already a Benedictine monk of Westminster Abbey, representing his house in the triennial chapter. In April, 1349, he was made prior, and in May he became abbot. In this office he proved very successful, ruling well and carrying out many works, including the completion of the cloisters. He became treasurer of England on 21 Nov., 1360, and Bishop of Ely on 10 Jan., 1362. Before consecration he was also elected Bishop of London, but he refused this see, preferringEly. On 19 Feb., 1363, he received the great seal as chancellor, and he was the first to speak in English when opening Parliament. He was appointed Archbishop of Canterbury on 24 July, 1366, and received the pallium from the pope on 4 Nov., having previously resigned the chancellorship. As archbishop he was vigilant against false doctrine, condemned certain propositions taught at Oxford, removed one Wycliffe—not the well-known heretic of that name—from the headship of Canterbury Hall, and censured the demagogue-priest, John Ball. Blessed Urban V created him Cardinal of St. Sixtus, 27 Sept., 1368. His acceptance of this dignity without the king's leave offended Edward III, who seized the Canterbury revenues on the plea that Langham had by his act forfeited the see. Langham resigned the archbishopric on 27 Nov., and early in 1369 joined the Pope at Avignon, being succeeded at Canterbury by Whittlesey. Subsequently he regained the king's favor, but did not return to his native country, though he held several English preferments in succession, such as the archdeaconries of Wells and Taunton. Gregory XI made him Cardinal-Bishop of Palestrina in July, 1373, and in the following year the monks at Canterbury again elected him as archbishop. The pope refused to confirm this, alleging that he could not spare the cardinal from Avignon. When the Curia was about to return to Rome in 1376, Langham obtained permission to go back to England, but he died before he could carry out this intention. Three years after his death, his remains were translated from Avignon to Westminster Abbey to which he had bequeathed his residuary estate. He was an upright man, and an able, if stern, ruler.
The Catholic Encyclopedia is the most comprehensive resource on Catholic teaching, history, and information ever gathered in all of human history. This easy-to-search online version was originally printed between 1907 and 1912 in fifteen hard copy volumes.
Designed to present its readers with the full body of Catholic teaching, the Encyclopedia contains not only precise statements of what the Church has defined, but also an impartial record of different views of acknowledged authority on all disputed questions, national, political or factional. In the determination of the truth the most recent and acknowledged scientific methods are employed, and the results of the latest research in theology, philosophy, history, apologetics, archaeology, and other sciences are given careful consideration.
No one who is interested in human history, past and present, can ignore the Catholic Church, either as an institution which has been the central figure in the civilized world for nearly two thousand years, decisively affecting its destinies, religious, literary, scientific, social and political, or as an existing power whose influence and activity extend to every part of the globe. In the past century the Church has grown both extensively and intensively among English-speaking peoples. Their living interests demand that they should have the means of informing themselves about this vast institution, which, whether they are Catholics or not, affects their fortunes and their destiny.

I had the joy this week of meeting newborn twins of a dear, dear friend. I even got to hold one! As I looked into those brand-new faces, I fell in love (of course) -- there's something mysterious and compelling in the faces of babies.
Which is why I was delighted to hear that OUR neighborhood boasts a photographer who specializes in pictures of pregnancy, children and families. If I'm not mistaken, some of Carrie O'Callaghan's photos are currently on display at Sweetness Bakery -- but DO check out her website for some truly wonderful pictures. Looks like a great way to share your joy at new beginnings, and support a Foster-Powell neighbor at the same time!

Randy Renard met Davy Jones when the Monkees singer inquired about a used washer Renard advertised in the local shopper.
In buying the appliance for $200, Jones learned Renard was a part-time singer.
But more impressive to Jones was that Renard had donated a kidney to his daughter.
"He told me he was awed," said Renard, 58, of Northumberland.
It led to a friendship that included Jones trying to boost Renard's singing career, contributing to his effort to help kidney disease patients and phoning words of encouragement to Renard's daughter when her transplanted kidney failed.
Many in the crowd of several hundred at the outdoor event swayed and sang the song's chorus. "Beautiful song — great guy," Renard concluded.
Jones died Feb. 29 of a heart attack at 66. For about 20 years he owned a home in Beavertown, a borough of about 950 located 60 miles northwest of Harrisburg in Snyder County.
Beavertown residents say Jones came to the area to visit a book collaborator and it reminded him of his native Manchester, England.
He bought a large home, within about two blocks of the town square, that had been built by a member of an out-of-town family that owned a prosperous local tannery.
The first note he struck in Beavertown was a sour one.
"When he first moved in there was a lot of commotion. All three floors were lit up day and night. There was a lot of partying going on. He was told to kind of cool it, and he did. After that he was a quiet, good citizen. He was one of us," said Cloyd Wagner, 81, Beavertown's mayor.
On Saturday morning, several of Jones' neighbors stood in front of his house, which has wood siding with peeling yellow paint and an old farm tractor in the backyard. Jones loved horses and raised them on the property, which has about 15 acres.
He lived there full time for about 15 years and spent recent winters in Florida, where he died.
"When my husband passed away, he was the first person who called me," said neighbor Anna Straub, 57.
Neighbor Tom Thoman, 53, said: "He wasn't like some of the guys that think they're better than anyone else. You couldn't ask for a better neighbor."
Thoman's home sits across the street from Jones', and a collection of discarded items such as old gas grills and sheets of metal sits in his yard. He said they're part of the recycling business he started when he lost his job, and at one point they drew complaints.
Thoman said Jones was disappointed to learn of the complaints, and told him he was welcome to store the items on Jones' property. "How many neighbors would do that?" Thoman said.
Beavertown residents said Jones regularly walked to places including the post office and a local market. Sometimes he rode a horse — not uncommon in Beavertown.
When the local library needed money, Jones donated a portion of local sales of his autobiography, raising $3,000 for the cause, Wagner said. He performed at a carnival to benefit the local fire company.
A few fans would trickle into Beavertown looking for Jones, but it was never an issue, the mayor said.
Jones was a child TV star in England. As a teen he played "The Artful Dodger" in a London production of the play "Oliver!" The play came to Broadway, and Jones was nominated for a Tony at age 16.
In the mid-60s he was among the four who successfully auditioned for a part in "The Monkees," the TV show modeled on the Beatles and the slapstick antics of their movie "A Hard Day's Night."
Jones was cast as the heart-throb singer and played the role well, even though his height, 5-feet-3 inches, was a regular subject of jokes on the show.
Serious music fans criticized the Monkees for not writing most of their songs and for relying heavily on studio musicians.
Still, most people eventually agreed Monkees records such as "Last Train to Clarksville," "I'm a Believer" and "Daydream Believer" are exceptionally good.
The show ran from 1966 to 1968. But it made a lasting impression that enabled Jones and the others to mount reunion tours, tour with oldies acts and cut several new albums over the years. Jones also did solo shows and records, which were often sold through his fan club.
In Beavertown, he bought a former church and was renovating it as a museum and community theater.
Saturday's memorial drew people from places including New York, Ohio and Ontario. It was organized by a Monkees fan from Altoona who used social media to spread the word.
"I came for the memories, from when I was a kid, singing the songs, even now, singing the songs," said Angela Carroll, 48, a hospital unit clerk from Staten Island, N.Y.
Lisa Hazen drove three hours from her home in Maryland to attend the memorial. The 42-year-old security guard said music of the Monkees and others "helped me through rough years as a teenager."
Hazen was among many people who described meeting Jones following performances or at events and were struck by his devotion to talking and interacting with fans.
"He was the most gracious, charming person," she said.

Score one for responsible parents. A father, concerned about the ESRB rating of a Call of Duty game but looking to capitalize on the game's historical accuracy as a learning opportunity, recently told his 13-year-old son he must obey the Geneva Conventions if he is to play the game.
The father in question, Hugh Spencer, shared his story on Boingboing. A writer and designer of museum exhibitions, Spencer was wary of the game's reliance on shooting and explosions but was not so militant as to overlook positive aspects of the game: its sound military history and reliance on teamwork.
So, Evan read the Geneva Conventions, discussed them with his dad and agreed to subscribe to the tenants. If he, or his online teammates, violate any of the conventions, COD will "go away for a while."
Regardless of how the conventions will dictate Evan's play, it's an encouraging example of a parent willing to engage with questionable material instead of simply dismissing it off hand. Here's hoping Spencer's rational parenting approach is an inspiration to others.

Happy Friday! I am still having some internet issues and am really frustrated – BUT, I cannot let my MotherTalkers down! So, onto some interesting stories that caught my eye…
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid's wife and daughter were involved in a serious automobile accident yesterday, wherein Reid's wife broke her nose, neck and back, and his daughter hurt her neck and had a facial laceration. Thankfully, it was reported that their injuries do not appear to be life threatening. Here's to a speedy recovery.
President Obama donated his Nobel Peace Prize money to ten different charities, including $250,000 to Fisher House, a national nonprofit that houses families whose loved ones are receiving care at Veterans Administration medical centers. As well as another $200,000 to the Bush-Clinton Haiti Fund to help the country recover from the earthquake.
Have you heard the latest Palinism? Sarah Palin admitted to crossing the border to Canada in order to reap the rewards of socialized medicine! In the words of Bugs Bunny, "What a maroon"!
And finally, would you eat cheese made out of…breast milk?? A Manhattan chef recently began serving cheese made from his nursing wife's milk. Gael Greene over at the Daily Beast decided to taste it and write a review. It's…interesting, to say the least.
Personally, I am so glad this week is finally over! I am going to enjoy my well deserved weekend and there is a very real possibility that I will take my kids to Disneyland! Mickey Mouse, here we come! What are you up to this weekend?
Of course, this is an open thread and you are free to discuss whatever you wish. What else is going on?

Hopkins Ranked 20th in AFCA Poll, 23rd by D3football.com
BALTIMORE, MD -- One week after debuting at number 23 in the inaugural American Football Coaches Association (AFCA) Division III Poll of the 2011 season, the Johns Hopkins football team has cracked the top 20 as the Blue Jays check in at number 20 this week. The Blue Jays earned 256 points to grab the number 20 spot. Johns Hopkins (4-0, 3-0 Centennial Conference) is also ranked 23rd in this week's D3football.com poll. The Blue Jays were listed as receiving votes in the four previous D3football.com polls this season.
The AFCA Poll, which the Johns Hopkins Athletic Communications Office uses to reflect JHU's official national ranking, is headed again this week by two-time defending national champion Wisconsin-Whitewater, which grabbed 39 of 42 first-place votes and totaled 1,047 points. Mount Union earned the other three first-place votes and checks in at number two with 1,011 points. St. Thomas (MN) (940 points), Mary Hardin-Baylor (931) and Bethel (MN) (821) round out the top five.
This is the 20h week that JHU has been ranked in the top 25 since the formation of the AFCA poll in 1999. Including this week's #20 ranking, JHU has been in the top 25 or listed as receiving votes 58 times since 1999. This is the 12th time Johns Hopkins has been ranked in the top 20.
The Blue Jays will put their nine-game winning streak - the third-longest in school history - on the line this Saturday (October 1) when they travel to Juniata for a Centennial Conference game. The nine-game winning streak is tied for the second-longest active streak in the nation and is just two shy of the school-record 11-game runs the Blue Jays have had twice previously (2002-03 / 2004-05).

The March of Dimes is being honored as a top charity by Philanthropedia, a division of GuideStar, it was announced today. Philanthropedia is a web-based nonprofit group that rates charities according to their financial responsibility and outstanding work, helping donors to give wisely.
"We are pleased and humbled to be cited by Philanthropedia experts as a top nonprofit in our field," says Dr. Jennifer L. Howse, president of the March of Dimes. "Since our founding by President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1938 to find a vaccine to prevent polio, we have endeavored to achieve mission results and a high standard of excellence. Our mission is to improve the health of babies by preventing birth defects, premature birth, and infant mortality."
Philanthropedia's panel of 74 experts identified the March of Dimes as 1 of 16 high-impact nonprofits working in the field of people with disabilities, and named it second in that category. Starting in 1955 with a signature victory to eliminate polio in the United States, the March of Dimes has led many successful public health campaigns that improved infant health, including:
· Reducing serious birth defects of the brain and spine by 26 percent through
folic acid fortification of the nation's grain foods in the late 1990s;
· Bringing mandatory newborn screening programs to every state to ensure that each baby is tested for more than 30 conditions that, if undetected and untreated, can lead to serious disability or death
· Launching a nationwide prematurity prevention campaign. The March of Dimes recently announced that the U.S. preterm birth rate dropped for the sixth consecutive year in 2012 to 11.5 percent, a 15-year low.
In addition to this new honor, the March of Dimes is a Better Business Bureau Accredited Charity and meets all 20 standards listed on the BBB Wise Giving Alliance Web site Give.org.
"We are very proud of our fiscal stewardship," added Dr. Howse. "We receive financial support from more than 3 million volunteers, thousands of corporate sponsors, and state and federal agencies. With this support, we fund the innovative research, education, and community programs that are designed to deliver results and bring us closer to that day when every baby in every community is born healthy."
Seventy-six cents of a dollar raised by the March of Dimes supports its programs. For more information, see the March of Dimes entry on GuideStar.org or visit marchofdimes.com/mission/where-your-money-goes.aspx to see a graphic on how your donations are being used to support lifesaving research and programs. Watch and share this short animated video that also shows donors where the money goes.
The March of Dimes is the leading nonprofit organization for pregnancy and baby health. For more than 75 years, moms and babies have benefited from March of Dimes research, education, vaccines, and breakthroughs. Find out how you can help raise funds to prevent premature birth and birth defects by walking in March for Babies at marchforbabies.org. For the latest resources and information, visit marchofdimes.org or nacersano.org. Find us on Facebook and follow us on Twitter. The 2014 March for Babies is sponsored nationally by the March of Dimes number one corporate supporter Kmart, Macy's, Famous Footwear, Cigna, Sanofi Pasteur, Mission Pharmacal, United Airlines, and Actavis.

Recovery aside, Giffords' vote was brilliant politics
If we are to take her staff's word for it, U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords will retain — at least — her Democratic seat in Congress in 2012.
In the best-case scenario, she would be the heavy front-runner in a U.S. Senate race with Republican Congressman Jeff Flake, whose early entry into the contest has thus far scared off all other GOP contenders.
Optimism, but no certainty, over Giffords' future
Gabrielle Giffords' surprising and emotional return to Congress sparked a new wave of speculation about 2012, but her political future is no clearer now than it was before she walked in the U.S. House of Representatives.Read More »

It's my fearless L-L League Section 3 forecast.
One big change here this season, with 2012 champ Garden Spot shuffling back up to Section 2 and Ephrata, winless a year ago and breaking in 22 new total starters, joining the party.
You'll recall Donegal's 2013: Indians won their first section championship since 1999, but a Week 10 loss to Annville-Cleona cost them a District 3-AAA playoff bid.
The picks …
1. Donegal: Indians out to defend their crown, and return a really good nucleus from last fall. Can they run the table this time? Methinks yes.
2. Annville-Cleona: Dutchmen feeling frisky after last year's playoff trip. Rugged defense will keep A-C in it.
3. Elco: QB Jeff Martin back for third season, and he can really wing it. But Raiders have to stop people. Period. But certainly enough O in Myerstown to challenge.
4. Northern Lebanon: Skill-kid department with third-year starting QB Isaac Ray in good shape, so Vikings' option attack should flourish. Comes down to D. As usual.
5. Columbia: Third season for QB Kyle Warfel, who is determined to play mistake-free. Tide should be thinking Class A playoffs or bust.
6. Pequea Valley: Braves set to embark on Mike Choi Era. Going to hang the sleeper tag here, especially if new triple option attack causes headaches.
7. Ephrata: A ton of pride here, and high expectations heading into a new section. But 22 new starters — 22! — might be a tad too much to overcome.
More District 3 predictions:
Mid-Penn: Commonwealth | Keystone | Capital | Colonial
Lancaster-Lebanon: Section 1 | Section 2 | Section 3
York Adams: Division I | Division II | Division III
Berks:Section 1 | Section 2

Tao's Asian Cuisine, a restaurant that opened in East Longmeadow this summer, is an adherent of this fusion philosophy.
Tao's menu does offer Chinese restaurant classics such as Moo Goo Gai Pan ($8.95), Beef with Broccoli ($10.25), and General Tso's Chicken ($12.25).
However, the establishment also maintains a sushi bar which assembles rice-and-raw-fish favorites, either a la carte or as part of assortments like the Sushi & Sashimi for One ($23.95).
Japanese culinary traditions are further reflected in offerings that include Tofu Yaki Udon ($8.95), Beef Teriyaki ($14.95), and Shrimp Tempura ($14.95).
Though some Oriental eateries seem to skimp on quality in order to keep prices low, our experience suggests that's not the case with Tao's kitchen, since "fresh-tasting" and "carefully prepared" were adjectives that applied to all we ordered.
The restaurant's Wonton Soup ($1.75) was an example of this. Based on a savory chicken broth, the soup's wontons were tender but not mushy; green onions and bits of kombu (kelp) added color and texture.
Precisely crafted and featuring an intriguing combination of flavors and textures, our Shrimp Tempura Maki ($6.75) reflected superior sushi craftsmanship.
Handsomely composed on a plate "painted" with a squiggle of teriyaki glaze, the maki quickly disappeared.
Pineapple Wonder ($13.95), one of Tao's "chef specialties," was a sophisticated rework of "sweet & sour." Cuts of chicken breast and beefsteak were the dominant components, with pineapple chunks, green and red bell pepper strips, maraschino cherries, and white onion supplying color contrast. A delicately sweet glaze tied everything together.
House Special Fried Rice ($8.25) was equally to our liking, with plenty of chicken, red-cooked pork, and shrimp playing roles in the dish. Lightly flavored with soy sauce and employing bean sprouts and green peas for color and crunch, the rice was, indeed, "special."
In response, no doubt, to Thai food's growing popularity, several Southeast Asian curries and "pad" dishes are also available at Tao's.
Though labeled as "hot," the Chicken Pad Thai ($10.95) was actually quite tame. Savory-sweet, with plenty of breast meat and sliced shiitake mushrooms, the dish was likeable enough, although rice noodles would have been more authentic than the fettuccine actually used.
We found our choice satisfying although it lacked some of the complexity that makes Thai cooking special.
Tao's is licensed for the sale of wine and stocks a small selection of each as well as several varieties of sake. Hot tea will also be served on request.
As is typical in Asian restaurants, dessert options are limited.
Fried Bananas ($3.00), the sweet finale we chose, featured chunks of ripe banana in a shatteringly delicate shell of tempura batter. Sweet, slightly crunchy, and praiseworthy, we agreed.
At lunch, Tao's Asian Cuisine promotes an assortment of lunch specials that draw from the dinner agenda. These include choices such as Pork with Black Bean Sauce ($6.50), Shredded Beef Szechuan Style ($6.95), and a Sushi Luncheon Combination ($9.50).
The Shrimp Tempura Lunch Box ($8.95) we sat down to one weekday was quite a feast, starting with a hearty miso soup and a simple but fresh green salad.
Two giant tempura shrimp, their panko crust delicate and crunchy, headlined the presentation, where they shared plate real estate with slices of yam, daikon, and eggplant, each also enrobed in a gossamer tempura crust.
The bento box also included shumai dumplings, pieces of California roll, and white rice.
Tao's Asian Cuisine, which occupies a storefront that's previously housed restaurant operations, has been completely renewed in a style that tastefully and comfortably references traditional Japanese interior design.

Ben Folds and Nick Hornby, "Lonely Avenue"
Music and musicians and books: not mutually exclusive. Literary projects from Ben Folds and Nick Hornby, Colin Meloy, Antony (with Bjork), Vince Neil, Weird Al Yankovic, David Lynch, Queen's Brian May and more have been cropping up lately, so we're breaking 'em down for your reading and listening pleasure.
On Sept. 28, Nonesuch will be releasing "Lonely Avenue," an album built on a collaboration between Ben Folds and novelist Nick Hornby. The "High Fidelity" author and "An Education" screenwriter -- whose own obsession with music has been well-documented -- sent his friend Folds lyrics, and the latter wrote 12 tunes around them.
The record, "which Folds made specifically to be listened to on vinyl" reads a release, will be out on vinyl, CD and digital, though a deluxe vinyl version will feature four short stories from Hornby.
You can listen to a full track, "Levi Johnston's Blues," here. I sounds just how you think it does.

Welfare regimes can either facilitate or impede inter- and intra-class cohesion depending on how they are structured. Social welfare policies that facilitate strong class cohesion among the poor can strengthen democracy and social equity by enabling the poor to compel democratic leaders to address their concerns, thereby strengthening political participation and accountability. This article asks whether the targeted assistance programmes adopted in Latin America in recent decades function in this way, using housing policy in Chile as a case study. During the 1980s Chile moved from a housing policy based on state provision of housing resources to a market-led programme which offers subsidies to the poor on the basis of relative need. This analysis demonstrates that the mode of housing subsidy provision and structure of local government exacerbate already high levels of social stratification, reinforce workers' vulnerability to the vagaries of the market, and undermine the urban poor's incentives for collective action. While the ostensible intent of this programme is to provide targeted assistance to marginal groups and promote the development of social capital, Chile's current housing policy instead promotes divisive competition among popular sector constituencies.

This study reports findings from the last wave of focus groups conducted with 56 former residents of Harris Homes, a 493 unit public housing complex in Atlanta, Georgia. Harris Homes was demolished in 2000 and redeveloped as a mixed income community, renamed College Town, through the HOPE VI programme. Displaced residents of the original Harris Homes had three options: they could keep their housing vouchers and continue to live in private rented accommodation; they could move back to redeveloped College Town; or they could remain in the public housing where they were relocated when Harris Homes was demolished. This research compared people who chose to return to College Town with those who decided to remain in private rented housing. Results show that people who moved back to College Town were very satisfied with their homes, experienced significantly fewer material hardships and were more positive about their economic well-being than those who remained in the voucher programme.

Ty Brown went the long way around to find love, but he found it. When he went to Los Angeles last year, he thought he'd find love as a contestant on "The Bachelorette." He was booted in the seventh episode, but went home with a rekindled passion for country music.
"It took going on the show to make me realize there's more to life than making a bunch of money and having no time to spend it," Brown said in a phone interview with the Daily Journal. "My quality of life is 10 times better, and I love what I do."
Brown, who was born in West Point and grew up in Booneville, worked for 10 years in Nashville in pharmaceutical and medical sales before going on "The Bachelorette." Now that the show's over and he's entering this new career, he's learned the show was both an inspiration, and now, a bit of a challenge, for his career.
"It absolutely helped – 25-plus million people watching a week doesn't hurt, no matter what you're doing," he said. "But I've had to earn my keep. It's kinda like your dad being the coach on the baseball team you're playing on, because you've gotta prove yourself a little bit more. With my writing and the songs that we do, I do prove myself."
The Mississippi State University alum still lives in Nashville and is currently working on an album.
"We're actually looking for a few more songs. I've been very fortunate to write with some awesome writers," he said.
A few of his songs can be found on his website, tybrownmusic.com.
He's also going on tour. He has a revolving door of musicians who make up his band, and he takes the guys out on the road. He played in Tupelo last weekend and has a show in Oxford coming up.
"We do a pretty dadgum good show," he said. "We make sure the crowd has a good time."
While he's new to the country music biz, Brown said he's had an affinity for music for years.
"I was so envious of those guys that got to get up there and play," he said. "It looked like a lot of fun, so I picked up a guitar and started playing. I was 17, and it's been history from there. I taught myself how to play and I've never looked back."
Is his new career as exciting as he thought it would be when he first picked up the guitar?
"It's 10 times better," he said. "There's a certain feeling, when you walk out on stage and everybody's looking at you. Some people get nervous, but that's the biggest adrenaline rush. I can't explain it. It's amazing. I don't see myself doing anything else. I'm happy doing this, and this is what I wanna be doing."
Sounds like a man in love.

The Palestine Solidarity Movement is a relatively new umbrella organization that brings together various, primarily university-affiliated anti-Israel groups. Its primary focus is the so-called divestment campaign against Israel, which it began in 2002 as a way to try to portray the Palestinian cause as a struggle for justice against the "racist and apartheid" state of Israel.
Although dozens of professors have signed on to divestment petitions on many campuses, the divestment campaign's arguments have not been persuasive to mainstream Americans and the overall results have not been successful. To date, no college or university has ended its investments in companies that do business in Israel. This fact has not halted the PSM, which continues to use divestment as a means to organize anti-Israel activists, especially on campus
The PSM has refused to condemn violent acts against Israelis, stating that "as a solidarity movement, it is not our place to dictate the strategies or tactics adopted by the Palestinian people in their struggle for liberation."
In its short existence, the PSM has held major student conferences at Berkeley, the University of Michigan, Rutgers University, and The Ohio State University - the last two competing with each other as a result of factional fighting. Originally, one conference only was planned, but internal disagreements caused the movement to split, and two separate divestment conferences were held. On October 15-17, 2004, the annual conference will be held at Duke University.
Past national PSM conferences include:
The Ohio State University - November 7 - 9, 2003, Columbus, Ohio
The OSU conference was hosted by the local Committee for Justice in Palestine and attracted about 200 people. Attendees reaffirmed their commitment to the movement's guiding principles, including language that equates Zionism with racism.
Rutgers - October 10 - 12, 2003, North Brunswick, New Jersey
The Rutgers conference was hosted by New Jersey Solidarity, which calls for the dismantling of Israel and its replacement by a Palestinian state. Conference supporters included Al-Awda, while endorsers included the Islamic Association for Palestine, an anti-Semitic organization that reportedly has had ties to Hamas and the Holy Land Foundation.
Resolutions adopted during the conference included a refusal to condemn Palestinian terrorism, a commitment to the divestment campaign and an affirmation of the movement's claim that "Zionism is racism." Conference attendees also reaffirmed the movement's goals: the right of return for Palestinians, a "full decolonization of all Palestinian land" and an end of the "Israeli occupation of…all Arab lands."
To provide alternative perspectives and help balance the volume of anti-Israel rhetoric coming from the PSM conference, ADL's New Jersey Regional Office took part in an "Israel Inspires" rally at Rutgers University that kicked off a yearlong series of pro-Israel activities designed by students to counter the message of anti-Israel activists with accurate and factual information on the state of Israel and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
University of Michigan - October 12-14, 2002, Ann Arbor, Michigan
The second national PSM conference, held at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, attracted about 400 people, included former University of South Florida Professor Sami al-Arian, (currently awaiting trial on charges of providing support to the Palestinian terrorist organization Islamic Jihad). Representatives of Al-Awda sold T-shirts with the inscription "Intifada! Palestine will be free from the river to the sea." The slogan was also shouted by conference-goers confronting a handful of protesters outside the building.
University of California, Berkeley - February 16-18, 2002, Berkeley, California
The first national PSM conference was initiated by Students for Justice in Palestine, a student group from the University of California, Berkeley, in conjunction with the San Francisco chapter of the Arab American Anti-Discrimination Committee. It was supported by a coalition of mostly far-left and radical Muslim groups (student and non-student). One of the resolutions adopted at the first PSM conference expressed an unreserved support for the Intifada: "We, the national student movement for solidarity with Palestine, declare our solidarity with the popular resistance to Israeli occupation, colonization, and apartheid." On the issue of Palestinian violence, the resolution also stated that "as a solidarity movement, it is not our place to dictate the strategies or tactics adopted by the Palestinian people in their struggle for liberation."

Going to the movies in Syracuse and Central New York this weekend? Here's a list of what's new in theaters, plus listings for special showings in the area.
New movies in theaters
"The Hunger Games: Catching Fire" (action, sci-fi; 146 min; rated PG-13)
Put three fingers in the air, the sequel to "The Hunger Games" is finally here. Jennifer Lawrence returns as Katniss Everdeen, who's earned the Capitol's disdain after her shared victory with Peeta Mellark (Josh Hutcherson) sparks a rebellion in the Districts of Panem. The pair is forced on a "Victor's Tour," leading up to their return to the battlefield for the 75th annual Hunger Games, in which they'll take on previous tributes who've won. Woody Harrelson, Elizabeth Banks, Lenny Kravitz, Stanley Tucci, Donald Sutherland and Liam Hemsworth are all back, plus all-star additions like Philip Seymour Hoffman, Jena Malone, Amanda Plummer, Jeffrey Wright and rising screen hunk Sam Claflin (as Finnick). Fans of the Suzanne Collins book series will see "Catching Fire" anyway, but there's good news for casual moviegoers, too. A review in The Chicago Tribune says new director Francis Lawrence (no relation to Jennifer) brings a "sleek" look at a little bit of everything, instead of too much (or not enough) of some things like the original.
» See it at: Destiny USA, Great Northern and Shoppingtown.
» Reviews: GOOD. 74 out of 100 on Metacritic, 93 out of 100 on Rotten Tomatoes.
"Delivery Man" (comedy; 103 min; PG-13)
Look out, Duggars: Vince Vaughn has 533 kids thanks to a mix-up at a sperm clinic, and 142 of them want to meet him. The "Old School" star plays David Wozniak, who finds out he anonymously fathered hundreds of children and decides to meet some of them. Hijinks ensue, but so does emotion. Written and directed by Ken Scott, based on his own 2011 indie comedy film "Starbuck," this remake aims at a bigger audience with supporting stars like Chris Pratt, Bobby Moynihan and Cobie Smulders. And thanks to Scott, an AP critic is praising the film as "a turning point" for Vaughn that is more heartfelt and funny than anything he's done in years.

India A Innings (day three)
India A 124 for 4 in 40 overs: Match drawn. Suresh Raina remained not out at 19. But Yuvraj has won the battle within with his half century backed by a five-wicket haul. Manoj Tiwary too hasn't done much harm to his chances with his 93. But it remains to be seen who gets to see his name on the squad list on November 5.
India A 118 for 4 in 39 overs: Samit Patel gets amongst the wickets, snaps Rahane. Patel gets the edge and Anderson does the rest in the slips, albeit after juggling act. Rahane made 53.
India A 110 for 3 in 34 overs: Fifty for Ajinkya Rahane, and this has certainly enhanced his chances of being retained in the Test squad. Raina hanging in there, at 9, but with just 21 overs left in the match, a handshake is not too far.
India A 98 for 3 in 30 overs: Yuvraj's innings has been curtained out by Tim Bresnan. Bell, at mid-on, takes the catch. Raina is in and he would have been praying for it, but little time to make an impression.
India A 94 for 2 in 28 overs: 27 minimum overs remaining in the day. A draw certain but Rahane getting a good workout in the middle, approaching a half century. Yuvraj too feeling the middle of his bat. Test recall beckons?
India A 69 for 2 in 21 overs: Murali Vijay out to Anderson. Neat catch by Swann at wide first slip. Until then, Vijay was looking good to last the distance, but has fallen for 32. Yuvraj Singh is the new man in.
TEA - India A 66 for 1 after 19 overs: India A have taken a nine-run lead. Both Murali Vijay and Ajinkya Rahana are batting in the thirties. Its tea time.
India A 53 for 1 after 14 overs: India A's second-wicket pair has taken the score past 50 and nearer to the lead. Murali Vijay has hit in his 42-ball 26. Ajinkya Rahane also striking the ball well.
India A 35 for 1 after 9 overs: An hour after lunch, India A have lessened the England XI lead to 22. Murali Vijay and Ajinkya Rahane are at the crease and ticking along well.
India A 24 for 1 after 6 overs: James Anderson has removed Abhinav Mukund for 3 to give England XI an early entry. India A trail by 33. Murali Vijay has begun positively with three boundaries.
England XI Innings (day three)
England XI 426 for 9 (end of innings): Yuvraj Singh has taken his fifth wicket and England finish on 426 with nine as Steven Finn is injured. James Anderson is the man dismissed, caught at short leg. Tim Bresnan remains not out on 33. The England XI take a 57-run lead. Yuvraj has sent a strong message to India's new selection committee ahead of the squad announcement on November 5.
England XI 420 for 8 after 118 overs: Tim Bresnan is into the thirties and James Anderson has reached double-figures. England are getting their lower order into some form in their first outing on tour. India A just cannot make inroads this afternoon.
England XI 405 for 8 after 115 overs: Tim Bresnan has taken the total past 400 in the company of James Anderson. The England XI now lead by 36 runs.
11:30 a.m. LUNCH. England XI 396 for 8, lead by 27 runs (Tim Bresnan 21*, James Anderson 1*; Yuvraj Singh 4 for 68)
11:25 a.m. BOWLED! Vinay Kumar takes care of Swann by cleaning up the England offspinner with a yorker. England 395 for 8, lead by 26.
Graeme Swann b Vinay Kumar 6 (13)
11:20 a.m. The England XI total is now past India A's. So no attempt by the visitors to declare and make a match of it in the closing stages. Tim Bresnan and Graeme Swann polishing their batting skills against spin.
11 a.m. OUT! Another wicket for Yuvraj, his fourth. Samit Patel tried to be aggressive but ended up just chipping it to cover. But a great knock by Patel, 104. England XI 372 for 7.
Samit Patel c Vijay b Yuvraj 104 (173)
10:50 a.m. That's out! Yuvraj strikes again. An entertaining half century from Prior comes to a close. The England wicketkeeper went for the drive but only edged it to Raina at slip. A run-a-ball fifty that included nine boundaries. England XI 367 for 6.
Matt Prior c Raina b Yuvraj 51 (52)
10:20 a.m. Patel completes century. First hundred for Samit Patel playing for England. He brought it up with a controlled pull through square leg for a single. Took 161 balls to reach there with the help of 14 fours. Prior is on 21. England XI 333 for 5.
10 a.m. Cook departs for 119. Dinda induced an edge from the England XI skipper, which was neatly grabbed by wicketkeeper Wriddhiman Saha. Matt Prior, who has joined Patel in the middle, has raced to 11 off 9 balls with the help of one boundary. England XI 313 for 5.
Alastair Cook c Saha b Dinda 119
9:50 a.m. India A have opened the day with Irfan Pathan and Ashok Dinda, but Cook and Patel have continued from where they left. No trouble whatsoever. Patel fast approaching his hundred.
Day 2 round-up
Alastair Cook will look to keep India A on the ground on the final day of England's first tour game after he scored an unbeaten century on Wednesday to take England to 286 for 4 in replay to the hosts' 369.
Cook became the first touring England captain to hit a century in a pre-Test series warm-up since Graham Gooch in 1992-93, as the England XI hit back from a middle-order collapse with an unbroken 153-run stand between their skipper and allrounder Samit Patel, who was not out on 82.
Brief Scores:
England XI (first innings): 286 for 4 in 87 overs (Alastair Cook 112*, Samit Patel 82*; Yuvraj Singh 2 for 52)
India A (first innings): 369 all out (Manoj Tiwary 93, Abhinav Mukund 73, Yuvraj Singh 59; Tim Bresnan 3 for 59, Graeme Swann 3 for 90)

Her grandmother, Pam Tsouvas, survived that 12-hour march - but just barely. "We must have tried on hundreds of dresses," she said, "and we found nothing."
By "we," of course, she meant her picky granddaughter, a junior at Liberty High School in Brentwood, Calif., where the theme of this year's prom is "Midnight in Paris." Miller seemed to know precisely what sort of evening wear was required for such an occasion _ not that she's ever been anywhere near Paris.
Into the life of every high school girl come a few big moments, and one of the biggest is the prom. As prom season approaches, picking out the perfect dress for the most important school dance of the year is the high school equivalent of preparing to walk the red carpet at the Oscars. It's a rite of passage, a ritual that prefigures the selection of the wedding dress to come.
Stores such as Jessica McClintock do a thriving business selling prom dresses of their own design. But Trudys - a 36-year staple - claims to have the largest selection of prom dresses in Northern California, and the store has sought to widen its advantage with a time-tested gimmick: It won't sell identical dresses in the same color to two girls going to the same prom.
"Yeah, I wouldn't want anyone wearing the same dress I'm wearing," said Hilary Willis, a senior at Livermore High School.
She was still waiting to be invited by a boy she had in mind, but was prepared to go with friends if it didn't happen.
"I think he's going to ask," she said as she waited for her turn in one of the jam-packed store's 19 fitting rooms.
In the run-up to prom season, the wait for a dressing room on Saturday afternoons can stretch to an hour.
"Our prom girls tend to sleep in," said Trudys manager Debbie Azevedo. She's responsible for enforcing a strict limit of four dresses per girl when there's a waiting list - a rule being flouted by Miller with an impunity fueled by desperation and a 16-year-old's anxieties.
"I don't like shopping for dresses," she said, and yet she couldn't seem to stop herself. "You want to look good."
Her grandmother was impressed with the store's inventory, which included Spanx - an elastic hip flattener - and some accessories that Miller was stuffing into the halter tops of every dress she put on.
"If you need the boobs, they've got 'em," Tsouvas noted as Miller examined her profile enhancements in a three-way mirror. "Look at these puppies," she said approvingly.
The store starts getting calls by the end of October about prom dresses that don't actually arrive until January.
"These girls start school, and they're already thinking about what they're going to wear to the prom," Azevedo said.
The dresses are a perishable commodity. By May, most are gone. "Designers don't want to end up with a warehouse filled with dresses that will be out of season next year," Azevedo said.
Prom dresses have gotten a lot more off the shoulder than they once were.
"The dresses are designed based on what celebrities are wearing, what's hot in Hollywood," Azevedo said. "When they see a celebrity wearing a plunging neckline, our prom girls want that plunging neckline. They want the very low, dramatic backs."
Bare backs seemed popular at Trudys, although Willis insisted she wasn't basing her decision on movie stars.
"I know what I like," she said. "I don't care what Cameron Diaz is wearing."
Jennifer Protsman, a senior, bought an emerald green dress that set off her red hair during a special prom party at the store Friday night. Her dress was fairly modest, but she insisted if it had been otherwise, that should be her choice alone to make.
"How many other times in your life are you going to get to dress up like this?" Protsman asked. "We don't mean to be provocative. This is our prom, and I think girls should be able to dress however they want to. People look at the way guys dress, and they're never critical - ever. A guy can wear a pimp suit and no one would make a big deal about it. But everyone's always critical of girls, and I just don't think it's fair."
For some girls, shopping for the dress would be the high point of prom season.
"I think girls nowadays are more focused on what they look like at prom than the actual dance itself," said Marina Schlaefli, a senior shopping for her third successive hot pink prom dress. "The funnest part is to get dressed up."
Protsman agreed. "Once you get to prom, no one really cares that much how you look," she said. "No one remembers what you wore."

Haven't seen anyone really hate on them, just that they're kinda meh for the price
Anything is better than GATs.
I´m starting to agree with this. I´ve barely been wearing mine all summer long. Mostly sticking to prorsum sandals and levi´s boots.
Half the RRP of Dunks, will probably last about twice as long :P

I know I'm not a mother yet, but I simply can't imagine spending thousands of dollars to dress my toddler--even if she does look like a doll.
Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise's 18-months-old daughter has graced the covers of Vanity Fair, People, US Weekly and other mags (the couple reportedly gets a cool $3 million per shot).
Websites devoted to "Tomkat" with Suri-crazed photo montages are even available on RSS feed to your iPod.
And every time we see the tot, whose haircut looks more fabulous than my mop on any given day, she is decked out in fashionable gear from Burberry BCBG or Dior.
Suri wears Roberto Cavalli Ballerina Swarorovski crib shoes--given to her by Kelly Ripa.
She gets swaddled by monogrammed blankets from BlueberryBabies.com. She wears chic French button-up coats similar to those her fashionable mother wears. And all I can think is, isn't the kid uncomfortable? Can't Katie just put her in a onesie?
Every parent knows that children grow out of their clothes fast. They spit up, play with paint, and get food all over themselves.
Even if they're billionaires, I can't for the life of me understand why Tom and Katie would spend so much money on baby outfits.
But then I remember: her parents are nuts. These are the people who fed their child a mixture of barley water, milk and corn syrup instead of breast milk or formula- all in the name of Scientology.

Back To Nature

Our destination film for Captiva Island is now online.
The island, part-protected as wildlife refuge, covers little more than 700 acres and we made it our home for a week
Connected by a small road to the mainland USA, this truly unique setting is reflected in the timeless way we've captured the stunning scenery on this tropical island, using time-lapse photography, underwater kit, aerial filming and SLR lenses.
Ospreys, dolphins, pelicans and manatees were amongst the stunning wildlife we filmed at the wildlife sanctuary.
We also took our cameras to both ends of the island to shoot the sunrise and sunset, and captured some of the activities around the island such as kayaking and jet skiing.
You can take a look at the film, above.

Last month, the owner of the Northern Puppies pet shop in Plattsburgh, Tammy Staley, was charged with 20 counts of cruelty after animals were found covered in feces and urine and confined in small cages, resulting in two dead kittens and others in poor health. Then last week, her husband, Michael Staley, was arrested for allegedly dumping 24 puppies throughout Clinton County in order to avoid vet bills and feeding them.

do you have to pay for youtube
Not sure I know what you mean???
Youtube is a free service for both viewers and posters. However, people placing high-view videos can be offered the opportunity for ad detailing on their channel and on their videos and can be paid BY Youtube for view of these ads.
Most YouTube content can be viewed for free but now YouTube is offering a rental streaming service for movies which you will be charged a small fee to view for a restricted duration of time.
Forgot about that. Yes, Youtube is trying to take on Netflix. I don't think we'll see much success here unless the Google crew starts working on Youtube movie software for the gazillion devices out there that currently push Netflix streams.
Ahh, I actually did a kind of poll video on YouTube movies on my Internet Distraction Channel.

Bulldog beauty
Local American Bully owner gets recognition
December 30, 2013
In a world where stereotypes are everything, a group of people is fighting back with help from an organization that not only gives bulldogs a second chance, but people, as well....
someone or many are mistaken, the AKC recognizes 2 breeds of Bulldogs--English and French--all others are other mixed breeds ,olde english are a bulldog,& pitbull(Terrier)mix staffishire terriers -- are terriers. (#1 the American Bulldog is a singular breed,) all of these mixes are just that mixed breeds with a Pit bull base.I am tired of people who have papers on other than AKC dogs calling them purebred,the papers are worthless in the sanctioned show rings anywhere in the world except the southern US.real Bulldogs are not aggressive -they are couch potatoes,only mixed breeds with pit in them are normally aggressive !!!the aggression was bred out of the bulldogs century s ago !!!!!

Man cabin fever has really set in judging from these comments. The man has a hobby,receives recognition for same and gets slammed along with the reporting. Had it been others making these comments the race cards would be flying like a major game of "52 pickup"! Wait I know what it is,the organization is not unionized!

Dolce has totally lost his direction as MAyor of the city. This is not going to draw tourists to the city to spend money. Is Dolce placating the Latino population? But then again a mayor and his attorney making $135,000 per year plus benefits shows the direction the city is headed.

WMU 1-4, Alma 2-2
TV, radio
The coaches
Steve Hawkins (South Alabama, 1987), 262-214, 17 seasons; 125-103 at WMU, eighth season.
Alma's Charlie Goffnett (Central Michigan, 1980), 336-219, 23 seasons; 2-2 as Alma's men's coach.
Probable starters
For WMU: Juniors Mikey Douglas (6-foot, 6.2 points per game) and Demetrius Ward (6-3, 11.4) at guard; sophomore Nate Hutcheson (6-7, 10.6) and junior Flenard Whitfield (6-7, 12.2) at forward; and freshman Matt Stainbrook (6-10, 9.0) at center.
For Alma: Junior Cory Schneider (6-1, 11.5) and senior Kevin Ginther (5-11, 9.5) at guard; sophomore Greg Silverhorn (6-3, 16.5) and freshman Brett Lackie (6-4, 11.8) at forward, and freshman Arik Hesselink (6-5, 4.5) at center.
Inside the matchup
There are interesting tidbits about this matchup — i.e. that Alma doesn't have a player taller than 6-foot-5 and the Scots' love and talent for the 3-point shot (they've hit 41 percent and shoot about 25 per game) — but, from Western Michigan's perspective, today is really all about Western Michigan.
It's the reason this somewhat ridiculous Division I v. Division III matchup is even taking place five games into the Broncos' season, the idea that WMU can pause long enough to add a few wrinkles to its offense and defense, give a few players on the outside of the playing rotation a chance to work their way in and fix whatever isn't working at this point.
In that regard, the timing couldn't be better, even if this win won't do as much as others in terms of removing the sting of Wednesday's two-point loss and meltdown at Towson. The Broncos need a game in which they lock down defensively and leave the floor feeling they owned a team on that end. They need to figure out how to fit David Brown into the playing group and give him a chance to earn the minutes he surely would have had if not for a sprained ankle a month ago.
Alma (2-2), which has a 19-point win (over Madonna University) and a 48-point loss (at Division II Lake Superior State) on its resume, provides WMU the opportunity to do both without risking anything.
This game will be no fun for Bronco big man Matt Stainbrook and a great time for senior guard Alex Wolf. Stainbrook is in for a frustrating afternoon dealing with 6-5 guys slapping at the ball and pulling him away from the basket. On the other hand, Wolf, who was recruited by mostly Division III schools, might finally get to use his crossover to beat someone off the dribble.
Make it: WMU 81, Alma 47
