Seven couples sue N.D. over constitutional ban on same sex marriage
June 6, 2014 - Andrea Johnson
The AP is reporting that seven North Dakota couples have filed a lawsuit challenging North Dakota's ban on gay marriage. North Dakota is the last state to have such a challenge filed, which probably isn't too surprising given that voters in the state overwhelmingly passed a constitutional ban on the practice.
Still, it's more than obvious that gay marriage will be legal throughout the land sooner rather than later.
Gay marriage is currently legal in 19 states: California, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Iowa, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Washington, Illinois and the District of Columbia. District court judges have overturned bans in Utah, Oklahoma, Virginia, Michigan, Idaho, Arkansas, and Texas, but gay marriage is on hold until appellate courts have ruled on appeals. Every other state, now including North Dakota, are being sued over constitutional bans or state laws against same sex marriage. I would not be surprised to see a U.S. Supreme Court ruling in the next year or two declaring bans on same sex marriage unconstitutional.
The question after that is what kind of country will we have? I hope it will be a live and let live sort of country, with everyone free to marry and live their lives as they please without undue comment from neighbors and employers. That ought to apply equally to people who oppose gay marriage on religious grounds and teach their children that marriage should be only between a man and a woman.
But I imagine that will be a tricky proposition, particularly in schools. Teachers in this state, like in other places, will probably have to find a way to teach kids with two mommies or two daddies in a class with kids whose parents are adamantly against their children learning anything positive about gay marriage. Legalizing gay marriage will likely push the elementary and high school curricula further towards a positive portrayal of same sex couples. That has been the case in states like Massachusetts, where a court ruling refused to allow parents to opt their kids out of a story hour involving the reading of a book about two gay penguins. Personally, I question that court decision and would like to see the state pass a law requiring schools to offer kids alternative assignments when parents object to certain materials.
What changes do you foresee if gay marriage is legalized in this state?

It's telling that now when the issue comes up of an adult's right to marry whoever he or she wants -- right-wingers start screaming about lesson plans for school children.
The bigots are forced to turn this into a classroom issue because they know that their old "it's in the Bible" argument is a big loser.
The Bible also condemns football, fortune telling, tattoos, Polyester, shellfish . . . oh, and DIVORCE.
Needless to say, we can't teach children that divorced parents are all going to burn in Hades -- since half of straight marriages end in divorce.

By who cares I mean who cares if they marry and fornicate all day and night for the rest of time. It's not our business what people do with their private parts in their private lives.
Jun-07-14 7:57 AM
Who cares about the gay folks lets talk about the Right to Travel by the modern means of the day.
Jun-06-14 8:30 PM
To answer your questions seriously -- no, freedom of religion would prevent churches from being required to marry gay couples. However, this is not a theocracy; the government is secular. There is a difference between the secular and the religious. This is a country in which the rights of the minority are protected, even when the majority vehemently disagrees with granting them a right on moral grounds. The couples filing suit have made the claim that North Dakota's constitutional amendment denies them equal protection, due process and the right to travel -- all rights guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution.

Trying to get rid of the thoughts, I continued to stare out the window thinking only of pleasant things.
Mark, my 25 year old brother was due for a visit soon with his wife; Lucy. She had blonde hair cut to the style of a bouncy bob, large green eyes framed with a collection of long eyelashes, thin golden eyebrows and a thin lipped small smile. Her figure was curvashious, yet slender; happiness was like a bubble expanding, taking form to her and others around her, she always wanted to please everyone, sharing out her spare time to be with those she loved.
Mark had dark brown, shaggy hair close to the length of Lucy's, last time I'd seen him (being 2 months ago) he'd have a beard clinging to the contours of his chin and jawline-apparently his appearance matched to that of a pirate, or so I was told by others who had the pleasure of meeting him in person. His eyes were the same shade chocolate brown as mine were, he was of a slight build and he was always joking around with others. During the time I grew up with him, he always used to trick me into believing things that were obviously not true. Such as the time when he'd told me the vacuumed cleaner would eat me, and the time he told that if you pressed the button on the handbrake, then the car would explode. It all terrified me when I was younger, and it took a lot of persuasion from my mum telling me that it was all not true. I held a grudge against him for that for about three weeks, but I couldn't keep it up, I admired him too much. I missed him a great deal when he wasn't around, the house felt empty, especially since the three house members- Stephen, my father, Thomas my other brother and Mark- I had grown up with had departed.
Me and my brother were very close to each other, I had another brother, Thomas, but I felt I understood Mark more. Thomas wasn't always easy to understand. He had short, dark brown hair, small chocolate brown eyes, and a wide mouth of a grin. He was a medium build. Stephen, my father had moved out when I was a young age as him and my mother felt they had to go their separate ways. I still visited him every now and again though. So when I was roughly around the age of five or six, my parents split up-I wasn't really fully aware of it at the time, all I knew was that my dad was around a lot less than he used to be and I got more treats from my father than I had previously. I always felt that my dad was unlike any other fathers. He was a cool dad in my eyes. He loved rock music-even when he turned fifty years of age. His eyes were chocolate brown-which meant me, Thomas and Mark had inherited our eye colour from him. He had a long nose, thick black eyebrows and grey hair-which touched the tops of his ears. He had a small, thick, metallic loop earring which dangled from his left ear and had plenty of tattoos which spiralled up both arms-there was a tarantula, a scorpion and a snake. He'd often told me stories involving the tattoos, making them into characters. He was quite slim and always wore clothes that were slightly oversized for him-most of the time he would wear a pair of jeans, a top of some sort and a denim or leather jacket.
"We're here," my mum told me, interrupting the flow of my thoughts.

Next game: 7:30 p.m. Friday at Hamilton Bulldogs (AHL playoffs)
Radio, online: WOOD-AM (1300), ahllive.com
PEORIA, Ill. -- Saturday's Grand Rapids Griffins game meant nothing in terms of playoff seedings, but the Griffins wanted a big season-closing victory to set themselves up for a playoff run.
As it is, they will enter the American Hockey League playoffs with four losses in Grand Rapids' past five games.
A three-goal outburst sent the Peoria Rivermen to a 5-2 win against the Griffins on Saturday night before a Carver Center crowd of 8,168.
The loss drops Grand Rapids' record to 43-25-6-6, good for 98 points and third place in the AHL North Division.
Listen to highlights from Grand Rapids' 5-2 loss to Peoria:
Courtesy of WOOD-AM (1300)/Grand Rapids Griffins
The Griffins finished four points behind Hamilton (102) and nine points behind Manitoba (107).
Grand Rapids opens the AHL playoffs Friday in Hamilton.
Peoria, which finished in second place (behind Milwaukee) in the AHL West with a 43-31-2-4 record, scored the game's first three goals off the wrists of Steve Regier, Jonas Junland and Aaron Palushaj.
Down 3-0 in the third period, the Griffins cut into the lead with Justin Abdelkader's 24th goal of the year, which came on a power play with 11:40 left in the game.
Grand Rapids' Francis Pare later added his 24th goal of the year with 9:38 left, but Peoria's Yan Stastny scored twice to preserve the Peoria lead.
Jordan Pearce stopped 33 of 38 shots for the Griffins, who were 1-for-8 on the power play.

AMHERST - When the University of Massachusetts football team wanted to run out the clock last season, it called on No.¤17, Tony Nelson.
A lot has changed over the last eight months for Nelson, the least of which is his number, from 17 to 28.
The junior from Germantown, Md., has gone from wide-bodied backup to the Minutemen's first option on the ground for 2008, a position doubly burdened by the present and the past.
"UMass is a running team, the starting running back gets the ball a good 20-25 times a game, maybe 30," Nelson said. "There's a lot of weight on the running backs, and I know that and I'm ready to go."
Three of the last five running backs to lead UMass in rushing have gone on to play in the NFL, including last year's starter Matt Lawrence.
Before Lawrence was Steve Baylark, who led UMass in rushing for four years. Two years before him, Marcel Shipp finished his fourth season as the team's leading rusher.
But those three tailbacks usually had a backup with proven ability, something Nelson does not have. The only other running back on the roster who had a carry last year is Chris Zardas with a grand total of three attempts.
"We've got a number of guys that we're looking at at the running back position, but we do look to Tony as the leader of that group," UMass coach Don Brown said. "It's his turn to step up in a long line of great tailbacks at this place.
"He's got a lot of responsibility, but he's had a tremendous summer, he's in great shape, I was really happy with the way he ran and lifted," he added. "I think he's ready to go."
Nelson played in 12 of the 13 games last season, rushing 92 times for 486 yards and one touchdown. Nelson was primarily used to spell Lawrence for a series as well as late in games, using his size and strength to stay on his feet and kill clock.
In 2006, he played in nine games behind Baylark and Lawrence, running for 235 yards and three scores on 47 carries.
"I think he's got all the tools and brings a lot to the table because he's learned from some good guys," said running backs coach Guido Falbo.
Nelson has also dropped some weight and has added some speed over the offseason in hopes of maximizing his agility while still keeping his impressive running strength.
"I'd say I dropped about a solid 20 pounds, and I'm a lot faster and quicker and still have pretty good strength," Nelson said. "I feel more comfortable when I'm lighter instead of being in the 220 range."
While no longer carrying the weight that made him comparable to Shipp and Baylark, Nelson said he will not change his running style and will not shy away from contact, which has made him a difficult runner to bring down.
"He's probably in the best shape he's ever been in, he looks great, he looks fit and trim, and he hasn't lost a step," Falbo said. "He's a physical runner, and he can get the ball to the outside. We'll work to his strengths like we did with the other guys before him."
The Minutemen have a host of players vying for time in the backfield with or instead of Nelson, beginning with junior Zardas, who is recovering from a torn ACL suffered in the playoff game against Fordham.
Zardas, senior Brandon White, senior Chris Cefalo and redshirt freshman Emil Igwenagu are all labeled as fullbacks, a position that usually does not carry the ball much in the UMass offense.
Other tailbacks competing in camp include sophomore Alphonsus Aguh of Amherst, redshirt freshman Jonathan Hernandez and true freshmen Korrey Davis and Cedric Gonnet.

Flickr has officially rolled out video support according to TechCrunch – well according to the Shel Israel puppet voiced by Loren Feldman on TechCrunch.
What better way to share the news than to use the new service to do so!?
As you can see, I've embedded a video from Flickr in this post. Portability is a must-have feature for anything related to online video. The player and the process of embedding it, is simple and elegant.
Instead of episodic content, Flickr is shooting for video updates. Initially videos can be only 90 seconds in length and roughly 150MB in size
While this isn't intended to be a competitor to YouTube, nor is video support innovative, The new service does offer a dedicated and all inclusive hub for your images and video, which is unique and valuable. For example, many digital cameras and camera phones shoot video, but most people only upload the still images and leave the video on their PC or email them to friends and family. Flickr gives them a distribution channel for all their content, tapping into the social network they've already created.
And, videos, like images, are searchable via tags and descriptions to enhance discoverability.
Like YouTube, Flickr is rolling out an API for programmers to create new services around Flickr videos, so things will only get more interesting as the flickr community embraces this new, and much needed, service.
Connect with me on Twitter, Jaiku, LinkedIn, Pownce, Plaxo, FriendFeed, or Facebook.

The odds were improbable, close to impossible, heading into the second half, but Gill St. Bernard's confidence started to grow after every shot and a comeback started to seem possible.
The No. 12 team in The Star-Ledger Top 20 slowly clawed its way back from a 23-point deficit and took the lead for good on a put-back by Taylor Rooks in the fourth quarter in a dramatic 60-56 victory over top-ranked Shabazz in the semifinals of the NJSIAA/Meadowlands Sports Complex/Shop Rite Tournament of Champions last night at Pine Belt Arena in Toms River.
Gill St. Bernard's moves on to face No. 3-ranked Manasquan in the final Tuesday at the Izod Center in East Rutherford. Manasquan advanced with a 56-50 victory over No. 2 St. Rose.
"We've done it before," said Rooks, who collected 15 points, 15 rebounds and six assists. "We've had games before where we were down at the half. We had the motivation that we've done it before and that we could do it again."
The Gladstone team dropped the deficit to 10 to start the fourth quarter and went on a 10-0 run to take a 55-50 lead with 1:23 remaining on a jumper by Rooks. Rooks also had a put-back with 3:01 to go to make it 51-50.
Shabazz, which played most of the second half in foul trouble, as Zaire O'Neil, Aliyyah Handford and De'Ashia Jones each had four fouls in the fourth quarter, followed with four straight points to trim the deficit to 55-54.
Jasmine Sina responded by making two free throws with 9.3 seconds left.
Handford went down the court for a layup with 3.4 seconds to go, but Shabazz was called for a technical foul when it called a timeout with none remaining. Sina then made both attempts to make it 59-56.
Shabazz coach Vanessa Watson, whose team lost in the semifinals for the fourth straight year, said the technical foul probably did not make much difference.
"It was over anyway because we couldn't stop the clock," Watson said.
After Shabazz took a 44-21 lead on a jump shot by Naqaiyyah Teague in the third quarter, Gill St. Bernard's started its epic comeback when it finished the last 3:52 on a 15-0 run to cut the deficit to eight.
"I could see it in the third quarter," Watson said. " I could see it (momentum) shift, their confidence starting going sky high, and we could never pull it back."
Five different players scored during the run for Gill St. Bernard's, and it was capped by two free throws from Trevena Bennett.
"They were a good team. We were outplayed," Watson said. "They executed a lot and we also made some bad decisions."
Handford created separation in the second quarter when she scored the first eight points of the quarter with a combination of her drives and foul-line jumpers to extend the Shabazz lead to 22-10 with 5:30 remaining.
Doniyah Cliney came off the bench and hit a 3-pointer on a feed from O'Neil and added two free throws to give the Newark team a 34-18 advantage going into the half.
Vitalis led Gill St. Bernard's in the opening half with 10 of her 17 points and finished with seven boards. Sina finished with 10 points.
Handford ended her spectacular four-year career with 26 points, seven rebounds and six assists and Jones had eight points and seven rebounds for Shabazz.

Here is a simple, quick preparation. I like simple now and then. Serve with new boiled potatoes tossed with butter and chopped parsley.
Lemon Broiled Catfish
Makes 4 servings
4 farm-raised catifsh fillets, each about 6 ounces
1/3 cup olive oil
Salt and cayenne to taste
Hot sauce to taste
1/4 cup (or more to taste) fresh lemon juice
1 large garlic clove, pressed
1 tablespoon drained capers
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley leaves
Preheat the broiler. Brush the catfish fillets on both sides using about one tablespoon of the olive oil. Season with salt, cayenne and hot sauce. Place on an oiled broiler pan. Broil about four inches from the heat until the fish flakes easily with a fork, 6 to 8 minutes.
Meanwhile, combine the remaining olive oil with lemon juice, garlic, capers, and lemon zest in a small saucepan over low heat. Cook, swirling the pan, to heat for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the parsley.
To serve, place the catfish on dinner plates and spoon the sauce on top.

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- Goodhue Park in New Brighton, a 15-acre parcel, is now opened to Islanders on the North Shore, the Parks Department announced Wednesday.
The land was secured thanks to a $5.6 million allocation from
Mayor Michael Bloomberg and $1.5 million from the City Council.
It is part of 38 acres that the Parks Department has been trying to acquire since 2006 from the Children's Aid Society to create a new public park for Staten Island.
"This truly was a once in a lifetime opportunity to add to New York City's green spaces," said First Deputy Commissioner of Parks Liam Kavanagh. "We are in the midst of the largest era of park expansion since Robert Moses in the 1930s."
The city Parks Department has acquired 740 acres of land since Bloomberg has been in office with "much of it here on Staten Island," Kavanagh added.
Staten Island consists of about 38,000 acres of land, and with this most recent acquisition, 10,555 acres are either protected park lands or open space, said Deputy Borough President Ed Burke.
"We're on our way, with Fresh Kills and Brookfield and a lot of other acquisitions, to one third of Staten Island being protected park land and open space," Burke said. "There are not many places the size of Staten Island that can say that."
Richard R. Buery, Jr., CEO of the Children's Aid Society, explained that the sale and agreement with the city provides parks for residents and funding for the Society, while still allowing them access to the land for their programs.
"We want to use these resources to deepen our long-term investment in the borough, to continue to expand our work in the borough, as we have been doing over just the last year," Buery said. "Just recently this October we opened our first early childhood program on Staten Island with the Richmond Early Learning Center."
Michael McMahon, a former City Council member and congressman, thanked all those involved and explained how, while he was on the council seven years ago, this deal got started.
Staten Island Parks Commissioner Adena Long thanked her staff, who will be responsible for taking care of "yet more acreage here on Staten Island."
Representatives for City Council members James Oddo, Vincent Ignizio and Debi Rose were thanked for the electeds' efforts, as well as members from Community Board 1 and others from the Children's Aid Society, who all worked to make the new park possible.

About 1,600 ballots remain to be counted in Clark County between now and Nov. 27, which could play the deciding role in several close legislative races.
Clark County Auditor Greg Kimsey said most of the remaining ballots are either from voters who forgot to sign their ballots or are from voters who need to be verified. Depending on how some citizens acquired or submitted ballots, the elections staff has to confirm that the individual is a registered voter in Washington and has not already submitted a ballot for this election.
While the staff works to verify hundreds of ballots, hundreds more have come in too late to be counted.
Kimsey said that so far 236 ballots have come in with late postmarks, and more will likely trickle in. Because Washington state requires ballots to be postmarked by election day, any ballots sent after Nov. 6 cannot be tallied.
Washington elections will be officially certified in 11 days.

Freeland medical pot shop sees growing demand
Whidbey Island's only storefront medical-marijuana cooperative opened five months ago, and business has been steadily increasing.
Now serving about 400 patients, the founder of this nonprofit cooperative says it provides socially responsible and legal access to medicinal cannabis for patients suffering from terminal or debilitating medical conditions.
Founder Lucas Jushinski, 35, is an Iraq war veteran who turned to medical marijuana after painkillers prescribed to help treat injuries he sustained in an explosion left him feeling "like a zombie."
"Many Whidbey Islanders benefit from the use of medicinal cannabis to treat illnesses such as cancer, HIV, multiple sclerosis, glaucoma, and other medical conditions that significantly impact quality of life, and in most cases cause severe and constant pain," he said. "Until now, these patients have had to travel to Seattle to obtain this legal medication that is vital to their day-to-day ability to function and survive."
Jushinski opted for a storefront in unincorporated Island County – Freeland, to be exact – after he was unable to gain approval for his operation within Langley city limits last spring.
Even though he had the support of many Langley residents as well as members of the Langley City Council, the city decided to play it safe and wait until the medical-marijuana issue is resolved at the state and federal level.
With the help of supporters and volunteers, Jushinski prepared the new Freeland retail space for qualified medical marijuana patients. A partition with a security window and a locked door divides the reception area from the medication room.
A security system has been installed, as well as a sturdy safe and refrigeration for cannabis food products, also known as "medibles."
Since opening last June, Jushinski has added more products, including marijuana breads, butters and olive oil, as well as paraphernalia such as glass pipes.
"We're already growing, and learning more all the time about patient needs," said Jushinski. "We're going to add another medication room in the near future so we can serve more than one client at a time."
Jushinski also has cloned plant starts for qualified patients, who under the law are authorized to grow their own medication.
Those who have a qualifying condition should first contact their own health-care providers to receive authorization, Jushinski said. Island Alternative Medicine can provide a list of health-care professionals who are not averse to writing prescriptions for medical marijuana.
Authorizations for medical cannabis are good for one year.
Another local resource for medical marijuana authorization is Living Green, a health food and alternative medicine business in Langley, where a doctor visits once a month to evaluate patients for medical marijuana authorization.
Safety first
At Island Alternative Medicine, patients are not allowed beyond the reception area without photo ID and a medical cannabis authorization statement on tamper-proof paper issued by a health-care professional.
Only one patient at a time can enter the locked medication room. Patients can choose from marijuana varities specific to their condition, and make a "donation" for the product.
Use of medication on the premises is prohibited.
"All medicinal cannabis treatments we offer are organically and locally grown and tested at a Seattle lab for pesticides, mold and mildew," Jushinski said.
"As a military veteran who has benefitted from medicinal cannabis, I saw an opportunity to not only provide safe access to this treatment for other Whidbey Island community members, but to support the local community through reinvestment of revenues into other charitable organizations and job creation as we expand our services," he said. "This is my way of giving back to a community I love and believe in."
Washington is among 16 states and the District of Columbia that have legalized the medical use of marijuana – although the use of marijuana remains in a kind of legal and enforcement limbo.
In the Medical Cannabis law (RCW 69.51) passed by the Washington State Legislature in 1998, lawmakers gave counties, cities and towns authority to adopt and enforce zoning, business licensing, health and safety and business tax requirements for licensed dispensers.
However, state law cannot modify federal laws that make it a crime to grow, distribute or possess marijuana. And federal authorities continue to enforce the prohibition against marijuana, with some recent warnings to dispensaries and a a number of prosecutions.
On the General Election ballot in November is Initiative 502, which proposes to legalize, regulate and tax sales at state-licensed medical-marijuana stores.
Jushinski said he fully intends to comply with state law.
"Island Alternative Medicine is licensed, fully insured, and an RCW 69.51-compliant cooperative committed to safe and legal access, local sustainability and green cultivation," he said.
The ADA-accessible cooperative at 5565 Vanbarr Place in Freeland is open from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday. For a qualified patient who cannot come to the cooperative, Island Alternative Medicine offers delivery services.

"Forget it, Jake, it's --- Chinatown."
Cue mournful sax, roll credits, and get ready to walk away, shattered, from one of the great modern film noirs.
But "Chinatown" is only one film in a long tradition of fatalistic thrillers - spotlighted this weekend in a series as the Landmark Loew's Jersey Theater revives some of the best.
Friday night they'll be showing Polanski's classic, of course, with Jack Nicholson as J.J. Gittes and John Huston as Noah Cross, while Saturday afternoon brings "Night and the City," a terrific English noir, with Richard Widmark at his weaselly best as a wrestling promoter who gets in over his head.
That evening also features a superior double-feature - Stanley Kubrick's "The Killing," with Sterling Hayden trying to pull off an intricate racetrack robbery, and "Niagara," featuring a strong - and surprising - early performance from Marilyn Monroe.
Of course, four films can't hope to give a real history of film noir, which started around the beginning of World War II, reached its height in the post-war years, and has been an element of movies ever since.
A central one, too. Some pictures have played it straight ("Body Heat," "Basic Instinct") and others have done it with a joking twist ("The Big Lebowski," "Pulp Fiction"). Countless modern movies also owe something to the genre.
But as focused as this mini-festival is, it still hits on some of noir's enduring aspects.
First, there's the Woman - always a seductive figure in noir, and often a dangerous one. Faye Dunaway in "Chinatown," Googie Withers in "Night and the City," Marie Windsor in "The Killing," Monroe in "Niagara" - you're wrong to take any of them at face value (and foolish to ever turn your back).
Then there's the Style. Like its name suggests, noir is all about darkness. Scenes may take place in the venetian-blinded offices of "Chinatown," or in the pitiless daylight of "The Killing" but light - and its absence - is always an important part of the noir look.
Important, too, are the way great directors took this sturdy genre and twisted it in surprising ways.
Forty years before "Pulp Fiction," "The Killing" played with time and flashbacks (and its clown-masked robbers even seemed to predict "The Dark Knight"). The most indelible moment in "Chinatown" is a dark, surreal nightmare when Polanski himself -- "Where'd ya get the midget?" Nicholson cracks -- suddenly appears with a outsized knife.
And, finally, there's the Fatalism. Does the movie end happily? Then it's probably not noir, in which a character generally makes one small mistake or random change in his daily routine - and suddenly plunges into an alien world.
And once he's entered that world - well, there's no coming back. Think of "The Postman Always Rings Twice" or "Double Indemnity," "The Maltese Falcon" or John Huston's superior "The Asphalt Jungle." No redemption offered, no forgiveness given.
Even the noirs that seem to end happily still conclude ambiguously.
Dana Andrews solves the mystery and gets the girl in "Laura," but do you really think he's figured out the mystery of Laura herself? "Mildred Pierce" finds her ex-husband waiting for her after she leaves the police station --but regaining his dull attentions is a poor consolation for everything else she's lost.
But that's what the genre is about - loss and disappointment, curdled romances and the cruel tricks of fate. Expecting something a little more upbeat? Hoping for a story where good triumphs over evil, love conquers all and adversity only brings out the best in people?
Well, forget it, Jake, it's - film noir.
Screenings are hosted by genre expert Foster Hirsch. To get in the mood, pick up a copy of his study, "The Dark Side of the Screen" -- or click on the clips below.

Jason Gregoire
Jason Gregoire is not alone as a hockey-playing tweeter.Hundreds of professional hockey players, including more than a few on the St. John's IceCaps, have Twitter accounts, with some more active than others.
The results are usually a mix of hockey-related observations and personal diary entries, with varying degrees of entertainment and enlightenment.
IceCaps' rookie forward Gregoire (@JGregs17) is an exception.
Oh yes, there are a few entries about the game he plays, some thank yous, a couple of shoutouts to buddies around the continent, a note of congratulation to his former college coach.
But Gregoire's tweets are chiefly devoted to sayings, either gleaned from elsewhere or self-created by an inner spark.
And they are mostly cheesy.
Gregoire knows this, and even is kind of proud of the fact that his offerings aren't of the standard cheddar variety.
They're Stilton and Roquefort and Camembert. That means they're not to everyone's liking, but like those cheese, there is a definite market.
Some recent entries on his Twitter account:
• "A magician was driving down a road, then he turned into a driveway."
• "I bet the invention of the shovel was ground breaking."
• "My friend has a dog that is always backing down from other dogs. He's a Labrador retreater."
"I've had some people tell me 'I'm going to unfollow you because you're jokes are too corny,'" said Gregoire, "but I think there are people who get a smile from it, too.
"It's mostly just play on words, some I picked up on the Internet. Some are my own, just thinking of a word or a phrase or an idea and what you can do with it."
Don't expect to see any turn of a phrase, a twist on an old saying or double entendre about what takes place on the ice during IceCaps' games, or what transpires off the ice, either.
"I've seen enough guys get in trouble for things they put on (Twitter),' said the Winnipeg native, who turns 23 on Friday.
"Its 'The refs did this' or 'The coach did that' or 'A teammate said something,' and all that usually comes out of those sorts of things are problems.
"I like to keep it light and that keeps me out of trouble, I hope."

Brief Synopsis
This paper examines the choices available to the United States for dismantling North Korea's nuclear weapons programs. The options range from doing nothing to executing policies of engagement, containment, or preemption. Each option has advantages and disadvantages, and there are numerous factors influencing the problem. The major factors include U.S. national interests, the role of China, the Republic of Korea (ROK)-U.S. alliance, the difficult nature of North Korea, and the U.S. war on terror.

New CPR technique simplifies saving lives
OTTAWA, March 28, 2008 – According to the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada (HSFC), chest compressions alone, or Hands-Only Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR), can save lives and can be used to help an adult who suddenly collapses.
The HSFC today supported a new American Heart Association scientific statement published in Circulation: Journal of the American Heart Association.
Hands-Only CPR is a potentially lifesaving option that can be used by people not trained in conventional CPR, or those who are unsure of their ability to give the combination of chest compressions and mouth-to-mouth breathing required.
There are some caveats, however, about when and where to use this new technique, according to the Foundation. "The new recommendations apply only to bystanders who witness an adult cardiac arrest outside a hospital setting," notes Dr. Allan de Caen, chair of the HSFC Policy Advisory Committee on Resuscitation. "Conventional CPR is still an important skill to learn, and medical personnel should still perform conventional CPR in the course of their professional duties."
Hands-Only CPR should also not be used for infants or children, for adults whose cardiac arrest is from respiratory causes (like drug overdose or near-drowning), or for an unwitnessed cardiac arrest. In those cases, the victim would benefit most from the combination of both chest compressions and breaths in conventional CPR.
"Clearly the best option is for all Canadians to be trained in all the steps of CPR, so they are prepared for any emergency," says Dr. de Caen. "But the science is pointing to good results with this simplified technique, and if it helps us improve the rates of bystander CPR, and therefore the chances of survival after cardiac arrest, that would be a tremendous advance."
According to the Foundation, member of the public who witness the sudden collapse of an adult but who are not able or willing to perform rescue breathing should immediately call 9-1-1 and start what is called Hands-Only CPR. This involves providing high-quality chest compressions by pushing hard and fast, at a rate of about 100 times per minute, in the middle of the victim's chest, without stopping until emergency medical services (EMS) responders arrive.
More than 80% of cardiac arrests happen at home or in public places – and less than 5% of these victims survive. Research shows that 35% to 55% of out-of-hospital arrests are witnessed by a bystander, often a family member or friend, but very few victims receive CPR. Just calling 9-1-1 and pushing hard, repeatedly, on the victim's chest until help arrives will go a long way to helping the person survive.
The emphasis on hands only CPR as an option for responding to a witnessed adult arrest is supported by evidence published from three separate large studies in 2007, each describing the outcomes of hundreds of instances of bystanders performing CPR on cardiac arrest victims. None of those studies demonstrated a negative impact on survival when ventilations were omitted from the bystanders' actions.
The Foundation still encourages the public to obtain conventional CPR training, which includes the skills needed to perform Hands-Only CPR, as well as the additional skills needed to care for a wide range of cardiovascular- and respiratory-related medical emergencies, especially for infants and children.
"We understand that there are lots of reasons why people find it challenging to learn CPR, including a lack of time, which is why we've introduced new training products to Canada, like CPR AnytimeTM Family & FriendsTM, a 22 minute video instruction for individuals," says Stephen Samis, HSFC director of health policy.

City gets a shiner while mayor ducks
Its hard to have vision when youre squinting
through a black eye.
Mores the shame when the shiner is in part
self-inflicted, as the city seems to have managed with
proposed regulations for Bainbridge Island shorelines.
Ducking all punches so far has been Mayor Darlene Kordonowy. She ought now to step forward, and either put up her dukes or throw in the towel before the city is thumped into a concussion around her.
What began as a state-mandated review of island shoreline regulations has become a headache for city government at all levels, and turned into an exercise in finger-pointing, buck-passing and rump-covering.
Talk of required 50-foot buffers at waters edge, with natural vegetation (and perhaps trees) replacing lawns, has sent waterfront property owners into apoplexy. Thursday marked the second consecutive meeting of the Bainbridge Island Planning Commission filled to the rafters with angry shoreline owners and property-rights advocates, denouncing the regulations and everyone associated with them.
Dont blame us, planning commissioners say. Were just looking at whats been put in front of us. True enough the proposals came out of a citizen committee, by way of the city planning staff. But when the punches start flying, there isnt a mug in the house thats safe; see how many letter-writers take pokes at the city council, when theyre not even in the fray.
Pointing the other direction is the city planning department, which offers the blithe response that the commission can
simply strike the offending regulations if they like as if the proposals came out of thin air, and didnt carry the weight of the departments sanction.
Which brings us back to the mayor. With citizens angry and demanding answers with the credibility of city government at issue its time for Kordonowy step in.
We make allowance that the shoreline review began before the mayor took office; it is also possible for the administration to be blindsided by the city staff, which is what we believe happened here.
We also laud the general goal of protecting a public resource, the waters of Puget Sound, a cause that more of us should take up.
But there is a huge gap between general concepts of environmental preservation and specific regulations. And the regulations as proposed would seem to mark a major policy shift for the city, dramatically altering historically accepted uses of the most coveted private property on the island.
They raise in many minds the constitutional issue of property takings, and bring the likelihood of litigation against the city. However well intentioned, and however well supported by science, they have inspired something beyond opposition; they have inspired contempt.
And since these proposals are coming from the city staff, the Kordonowy administration needs to decide soon whether or not it wants to get behind them. If not, they need to be pulled off the table.
No sitting this one out, Darlene. Get in the ring.

The West Perry star's resume includes a long list of accomplishments at the top track and field, including the PIAA championships.
On May 27-28 at Shippensburg University for her final high school competition, she burnished that resume with her best state-meet showing. On Friday, Sheaffer cranked out a 133-11 on her last throw of the javelin finals and placed fourth. One day later, the Mustang senior finished third in the 800 giving her a school-best five PIAA-AAA medals.
Sheaffer was joined on the medal stand by her classmate Taylor Seiber, who earned her first state medal with a seventh in the discus, and Greenwood senior Kyle Fronk, who turned a school-record 39.96 into a fourth-place finish in the AA finals of the 300 hurdles.
"Getting a fourth in the javelin was great," Sheaffer said. "Even though I didn't run my fastest time (in the 800), I placed in the top three and that was my goal."
Sheaffer's first day was busy. She had a 12:30 appointment for the javelin competition and a 3:30 call for the preliminaries of the 800, where she needed a top-12 finish to secure her spot in Saturday's final.
A sluggish — by her standards — start put her javelin medal hopes in jeopardy. Off throws of 121 feet and 117-9, she was, in the words of Mustang throwing coach Bob Anderson, "on the edge of not making the finals."
Sheaffer final throw of the prelims, 132-7 shoved her from 10th to fourth. Though she didn't improve her spot, Sheaffer's last throw was 16 inches better.
"Morgan knows how to compete," Anderson said. "She's been successful on big stages and that's built her confidence.
"Morgan has been consistent all year. She had six throws over 130 feet and 12 others better than 120. I was glad she was able to have good series at both districts and states."
Seiber, on the other hand, hadn't been exposed to the challenge of the state meet. She was in uncharted waters and, with a seed distance (112-5) that ranked 17th in a field of 23, an unlikely medal winner.
That's not how Anderson saw things.
"When I looked at the seed distances, I thought something in te hgh teens would medal," Anderson explained. "Taylor was capable of doing that. I told her all it takes is one throw."
Seiber cracked the code on her first attempt in the prelims, firing off a 120-11 that was a season-best and put her in the finals. She then scratched on her next two attempts, got a 115-9 in the first throw of finals, then scratched twice more.
"I was pleasantly surprised with Taylor getting a medal," Anderson said. "Practice hasn't always gone well. But she stretched well and had a nice throw on her last attempt of warmups. That gave her a positive outlook, which you need, and she went from there."
Sheaffer, who had finished second to Gwynedd-Mercy sophomore Emma Keenan in her preliminary heat, had the third-best time (2:16.39) going to finals. Keenan, Sheaffer, State College senior Chloe Schmidt and Taylor Carcella, a senior from Downingtown, all figured to push the pace and be in the hunt for the gold medal.
"I wanted to go with the leaders and stick close to Schmidt," Sheaffer explained. "I was hoping for a faster first lap, like 1:03-1:04. Instead is 1:05-1:06."
The slower pace might have been a benefit to Sheaffer, a strong closer with a humbling kick—she went from fifth to second in the final 15 meters of the preliminary race. But Keenan opened a gap on Schmidt and Sheaffer and Carcella passed the Mustang at the top of the final turn, pushing her back to fourth and forcing her to snap into her finishing gear.
She went by Carcella in the backstretch and took aim at Schmidt and Keenan but, despite a frantic rush into a sharp headwind, couldn't close completely. She finished third with a 2:14.16, .25 seconds back of Schmidt and 1.6 behind Keenan.
"I started my kick a couple (strides) too late," Sheaffer said. "Still, it's the closest I've come to beating Schmidt so I'm happy."

The video, which is part of the court record, has been the focal point of multiple federal court hearings in the lawsuit filed by Fernando Davis.
Davis' attorneys from Pleasant Ridge-based Romano Law claim that the video shows their client complying with orders before a scuffle with deputies, but the deputies' attorneys from the Plunkett Cooney law firm say that the video shows Davis acting agitated and kicking a shoe at a deputy.
The Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals in Cincinnati ruled in April that it would not overturn a March 26, 2013, decision by Detroit U.S. District Judge David M. Lawson would ruled that the case should not be dismissed because jurors could rule in Davis' favor after watching security footage. However, Lawson said in his ruling that he didn't necessarily agree with either side's interpretation of the video.
"In fact, the video contradicts the accounts of both the plaintiff and the defendants, but the court finds that a jury reasonably could conclude upon viewing it that the deputies did engage in conscience-shocking conduct and committed an assault and battery on the plaintiff," Lawson wrote.
Genesee County Sheriff Robert Pickell has declined comment on the lawsuit.
A report by Detroit Magistrate Judge R. Steven Whalen, which was used by both Lawson and the appeals court in their rulings, says that the video shows Davis inside the cell. Davis then appears to gesture and walks toward the cell door. As he approaches the door, the deputies enter and grab Davis.
Davis is taken to the ground and a scuffle ensues, according to Whalen. Whalen writes that one deputy can be seen either removing Davis' jacket or punching him. It then appears as if Davis is pepper sprayed, according to Whalen.
The deputies then exit the cell and leave Davis face-down on the floor. About 50 minutes after the incident, deputies enter the cell and escort Davis out. Whalen writes that what appears to be blood can be seen left in the cell's toilet.
Lawson ruled that the shoe in question does appear to be moving very close to the floor before the deputies rush the cell, but that it does not appear to be "flying," as the deputies' suggest. He added that it is not apparent at all from the video that the shoe was thrown or kicked with any substantial force or that it struck anything.
He wrote that footage from an in-cell camera was ambiguous because it shows Davis making a movement with his leg, but it did not appear to be especially dramatic or forceful. Lawson ruled that the video could reasonably be interpreted to show either a "flip" or "drop" of the shoe just as well as a "kick."
Davis' attorney says his client has had multiple surgeries to correct injuries from the incident and that he is undergoing treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder. He is seeking money to cover his medical bills as well as punitive damages against the deputies.
The case is still ongoing in Detroit U.S. District Court. A status conference is scheduled for May 13.

Subject: ipod is messed up???
My 20gb color photo ipod is messed up. I just got it back as a replacement for my other broken ipod. It will play through a song for about 25 seconds, and then the audio will just completely stop, but the ipod is still playing the song. I've tried resetting it and charging it, but it still does the same thing every song I play on it. Can anyone help me out, or do I just have to return it again?

Are you using the default white iPod headphones? Because they can be real trouble makers, try using a different pair of headphones and seeing if the problem persists, I think if it was something wrong with the actual player then the timer on the song would stop too.

I've tried different headphones but the problem still persist. I guess I'll have to return it again. Anyone know if you can use the warranty more than once if the timframe hasn't expired?

Tell us about your deadbeats, psychopaths, control freaks, drama queens, nutbars, bullies, know-it-alls and lawyers. You know, the eight types of customers to avoid.
January 8, 2014 by Steve Payne
In the next print issue of Canadian Contractor we are going to run your comments about "Customers From Hell."
Having been to hell with
(1) A deadbeat
(2) A psychopath
(3) A control freak
(4) A drama queen
(5) A nutbar
(6) A bully
(7) A know-it-all
(8) A lawyer (surely the worst of all Customers From Hell)…
… at least you can win a power tool for submitting the most horrifying tale. You don't have to write a long essay. Just tell us what this particular customer did to p*** you off, what type of job it was, and how you solved the problem. Or didn't. Rob and I will judge the "best" ("worst") story and send you a cool new FUEL power tool from Milwaukee.
You can either post them below (PLEASE DO NOT INCLUDE THE CUSTOMER'S NAME, TO AVOID LIBEL) or email them to me: email@example.com
I sold a house to a person 20 years ago and never heard any complains now I have to defend a third party claim because a lady fel off the step from house to garage, I hace retierd from building. where is the statu of limitation?
The law seems to be that the liability period begins at the "discoverability" point, i.e., when the construction error, if there was one, was discoverable. An outer limit of 15 years exists, the following document says, is the error was discoverable. So, was there a construction workmanship or code error, and was it discoverable within the first five years your client owned the home. This from a non-lawyer. But read for yourself here:
As a general contractor in Quebec we find the there seem to be no justice with the civil courts in the Quebec. We had a claim againt a client because she did not pay us the balance of our money.Wehave taken legal proccedings but it took some time before it was to go to court for trial. In a court of law you must provide proof not hersay but we lost this case because I was not able to plead in French. The client hired a architect 95 years old and he had no proof or documents to back up is testomony so judge accepted the verble testomony with out written proof only hersay,
If you don't have a French name in Quebec and you have speaking judge that asks the first question do yo speak French and if you don't your court case is lost.
That is a big problem in Quebec
The work we have done was perfect as our company has 50 years of construction experience and the client did not have the balance of the money so they paid this old achitect $500.00 so save $55.000 still owning.
Your problemwith your project is that you did not contract a turnkey project.
I have a son in Toronto that has a construction company and he is very honest and I one that trained my two sons one in Toronto one in Montreal.
If need advice or knowning people in Montreal we are able to handle there project on a turnkey bases.
In the 70s as an apprentice, a room mates brother asked if I would wire up his new furnace humidifier I agreed and showed up after work the next day. His wife insisted I have supper. Spare ribs in a black sauce were served. She forgot napkins so quickly fetched a roll of toilet paper !!! After supper I went to the basement to find that the humidifier was still in the box, the furnace was surrounded with dirty laundry. I began the installation , the husband came down the stairs and ask me to watch their two kids while him and his wife went to an Amway meeting ( I was pissed ) I finished the humidifier in a couple of hours then waited with two unruly kids till 11:00 pm . When they arrived home I stormed out.That night around 3:00 am my guts began to boil and for the next few hours Montezuma had his revenge ! I missed work the next day losing a days wages. The guy never did pay me.

What is in this article?:
- NOAA predicts active Atlantic hurricane season
- Doesn't predict location
• In addition to multiple climate factors, seasonal climate models also indicate an above-normal season is likely, and even suggest we could see activity comparable to some of the active seasons since 1995.
Doesn't predict location
NOAA's seasonal hurricane outlook does not predict where and when any of these storms may hit. Landfall is dictated by weather patterns in place at the time the storm approaches. For each storm, NOAA's National Hurricane Center forecasts how these weather patterns affect the storm track, intensity and landfall potential.
"The tornadoes that devastated the South and the large amount of flooding we've seen this spring should serve as a reminder that disasters can happen anytime and anywhere. As we move into this hurricane season it's important to remember that FEMA is just part of an emergency management team that includes the entire federal family, state, local and tribal governments, the private sector and most importantly the public," said FEMA Administrator Craig Fugate.
"Now is the time, if you haven't already, to get your plan together for what you and your family would do if disaster strikes. Visit ready.gov to learn more. And if you're a small business owner, visit www.ready.gov/business to ensure that your business is prepared for a disaster," added Fugate.
Hurricane impacts are not limited to the coastline; strong winds and flooding rainfall often pose a threat across inland areas along with the risk for tornadoes.
May 22-28, is national Hurricane Preparedness Week. To help prepare residents of hurricane-prone areas, NOAA is unveiling a new set of video and audio public service announcements featuring NOAA hurricane experts and the FEMA administrator that are available in both English and Spanish. These are available at http://www.hurricanes.gov/prepare.


text: I am trying to find a way to overlay my frac stages onto my wells. I have a beginning and an ending mesaured depth for each stage. I don't have any coordinate information with the stages just a table with Stage number and beginning and ending measured depths for each stage. I am able to add in my well as drilled surveys ok and map them fine. I pull that data from Geographix. So I can see the as drilled wells on my map but I am trying to figure out if there is a way to reference my stage data to those wells to it will overlay? So the display I am looking for is a well line with dashes on top of it showing the stages. I know how to do this manually in geographix by turning on depth postings and digitizing the stages one at a time but I have a lot of wells and a lot of stages. Any help is appreciated.

CoddFish is contained by the Pure Project and written by Alexandra Silva and Joost Visser. It is another type safe and declarative approach to database management in Haskell (I mean another than HaskellDB). It is not able yet to achieve persistence by connecting to (real-life) database management systems. To achieve type safety, it uses HList --- a Haskell library for strongly typed heterogeneous collections.

The Detroit Lions' slide to a 4-12 record in 2012 didn't do them any favors when it comes to next season's schedule.
Based on their opponents' record, the Detroit Lions have the second most difficult schedule in the NFL in 2013, tied with New Orleans and St. Louis.
Only the Carolina Panthers, who went 7-9 in 2012, have a harder schedule on paper. (The Denver Broncos have the easiest. Thank you, AFC West.)
A quick reminder of Detroit's opponents next season:
Home: Chicago Bears, Green Bay Packers, Minnesota Vikings, Dallas Cowboys, New York Giants, Baltimore Ravens, Cincinnati Bengals, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Away: Chicago Bears, Green Bay Packers, Minnesota Vikings, Philadelphia Eagles, Washington Redskins, Cleveland Browns, Pittsburgh Steelers, Arizona Cardinals
Tampa Bay is the only team the Lions will face at home that had a losing record last season, and the Buccaneers still were 7-9. Green Bay, Minnesota and Cincinnati made the playoffs, and Baltimore just won the Super Bowl.
As for the road schedule, the Eagles were a disaster last season, but have a new coach in Chip Kelly. Cleveland won just five games in 2012, but the Lions also were one of Arizona's five victories last season.
Detroit's schedule strength is largely due to the balance of the two divisions the NFC North is crossing over with: the AFC North and NFC East. Only the Browns haven't been to the playoffs at least once in the past three seasons among those teams.
As the last-place team in the NFC North, Detroit also faces the last-place team from the NFC West and NFC South. That's Tampa Bay and Arizona.

MOBILE, Alabama – A cut in food stamps and rising food prices are squeezing coastal Alabama families as the holidays approach. That's the word from nonprofits such as Prodisee Pantry, which has helped 1,500 families so far this month.
"That's a record for us," said Deann Servos, executive director of the organization, which serves most of Baldwin County.
On Nov. 1, food stamps were cut for the nation's 48 million recipients. In Alabama, that means about $36 less income for a family of four, Servos said. Compounding the problem is the rising cost of groceries, with the possible exception of turkey this year.
"The families are having to figure out how to handle it," Servos said. "They're thankful that we're there."
The Bay Area Food Bank, which serves a 24-county area spanning south Alabama, south Mississippi and the Florida panhandle, has seen a nearly 40 percent increase in the amount of meals requested just for the Thanksgiving distribution.
"The holiday season is always a busy time of year for the Food Bank and the area pantries we support," said Dave Reaney, executive director. Reaney said that in the two weeks prior to Thanksgiving that the Food Bank will have provided more than 20,000 meals for the holiday.
On Friday, Nov. 22, alone, the Food Bank gave out more than 8,000 holiday meals to more than 60 member agencies, which included church pantries, soup kitchens, group homes, shelters and other nonprofits.
But overall giving, according to Prodisee Pantry, is down. "The middle class has been our biggest donors, and they're struggling," Servos said.
Among the donors toward Prodisee's Thanksgiving meals this year was 3Circle Church, a fast-growing Fairhope congregation, which sponsored a "Toss a Turkey" campaign during services last week. Congregants were challenged to buy a turkey or ham and bring it back to the church before lunch. The church gave 326 turkeys, 62 hams and 47 pies.
Corporate donors have also donated to Prodisee Pantry's holiday effort, with Austal providing 77 turkeys and Southeast Shipyards, owned by BAE Systems, providing 40.

CALERA, Alabama -- A June 13 preliminary hearing has been set for a well-known youth evangelist charged with impersonating a police officer, according to court records.
Matt Pitt, the 28-year-old founder of The Basement youth ministry, was arrested by Calera police on May 12 after police said Pitt flashed blue lights on Interstate 65, causing motorists to pull off the road, then speeding around them. Police have said Pitt flashed a badge after Calera officers stopped him and claimed to be a Jefferson County deputy.
Pitt, in an interview days after the arrest, said that the vehicle he was driving was owned by a friend and had been used for events at The Basement, to simulate a police car. It was part of the ministry's outreach to youth to steer them away from crime, he said.
Pitt said the card he had in his wallet was given to him by the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office to honor him for helping youth stay out of crime.
After the interview, Pitt later said his attorneys advised him not to comment further. Court records do not identify his lawyers.

[Verse 1]
When you feel it in your body
You found somebody who
Makes you change your ways
Like hanging with your crew
Said you act like you ready but you don't really know
And everything in your past, you wanna let it go
I've been there, done it, fucked around
After all that - this is what I found
Nobody wants to be alone
If you're touched by the words in this song
Then maybe
Second single off of 8701, a Billboard Hot 100 chart topping R&B ballad.
Lyrically, the song's inspired by a true story. Jermaine Dupri (co-writer and co-producer of the song) and Usher were in the studio trying to record some music for the album, but Usher was continually distracted by a girl he had brought into the studio. Following an argument, the girl left. A while later, they started talking on the phone, which prompted Dupri to kick Usher out of the studio telling him, "We're going to do this [session] later on. You got it completely too bad right now. You got it bad." This ignited the inspiration for the song, and once Usher had left, Dupri started writing its lyrics, with the notion that it was going to be a big hit. Once Usher had returned to the studio, Dupri shared the story of the song with him, and the rest is history…
Jermaine Dupri told Complex:
"I learned from 'Nice & Slow' that people wanted that. 'Nice & Slow' was a big record, but we only made one. We went into that album saying, we got to make another 'Nice & Slow.' What I did with 'U Got It Bad' was take it to the next level, make another version of that. 'U Got It Bad' was basically just another version of 'Nice & Slow' with me trying to repeat and just make a better version."

The Portland Public Schools' school board unanimously approved a proposal to install synthetic turf football fields at four of its high schools Monday night.
At a project cost of $7.2 million, natural grass football fields at Wilson, Jefferson, Madison and Marshall will be replaced by a synthetic surface this summer. Also part of the project is a new track at Jefferson.
Board approves Great Fields project with 6-0 vote. Board member Bobbie Regan is absent.— Nicole Dungca (@ndungca) April 1, 2014
The synthetic turf fields are expected to be ready in time for the 2014 football season this fall.
Lincoln, Cleveland, Grant and Roosevelt currently have a synthetic turf football field at their high schools. Franklin will get a new field prior to the 2017-18 school year following a two-year remodel of its school. Benson uses Marshall for its home games, as will Franklin when it temporarily closes for its remodel.
Most Class 6A schools and many 5A schools in Oregon have synthetic turf football field. The Portland Interscholastic League is moving to 6A in the fall.
The Timbers Army pledges $50,000 to Great Fields and hands out scarves for kids. Thank you, @timbersarmy for supporting PPS kids!— Portland Public Sch. (@PPSConnect) April 1, 2014
Funds for the projects are coming from community grants, as well as a construction excise tax assigned for capital projects.

i just got my ticket for pit area! what time do you think i should get there?
I got the pit too and I was wondering the same thing!
When I was in the pit there I'm pretty sure I got to the gates around 5:45. If I remember correctly they open at 6. We were one of the first people in and were front row! Good luck and have fun
Thanks for this info I was gonna get to the grounds hours earlier… would have been standing around and missing out on the tailgate. I have PIT tickets as well but with Row and Seat info. Are your tickets like that?
I wonder how many of us will be crammed in that pit!!! But it will be worth it!!
Ill be there also in the pit
The tickets always have a seat and row on them. They don't correspond to anything. They put a decent amount of people in there…It gets really hot. For the most part people are pretty respectful about your space, BUT, there are always the d-bags too. Just to be safe I'd head up to the gates by 5 or earlier. Never know how many people may choose to camp out in line. When I was in pit it was the first year, so maybe people have changes habits now.
