Jury hands McQueary $7.3M in defamation case
Accused thiefs now face new charges
BELLWOOD – Two teens accused of breaking into a former Bellwood nursing home to steal copper are now charged in a July burglary.
Daniel C. Morse, 19, 221 Forshey Lane, Altoona, and Tyler Lee Kensinger, 19, 246 Grazierville Road, Tyrone, were charged by state police with burglary and related counts in connection with a July 21 break-in on the 500 block of North Fourth Street in Bellwood, which police said yielded $400 in copper as well as other items.
Additionally, Morse was charged with the Jan. 15 burglary of a vacant house on the 400 block of Railroad Street in Bellwood, just four days after he was released on $100,000 unsecured bail following his arraignment on burglary charges related to the former Moran Home.
Magisterial District Judge Fred B. Miller revoked Morse's bail on that case and set bail on his two newest cases at $35,000 cash each.
According to court records, Morse was caught by Bellwood police with another juvenile Jan. 15 outside the house on Railroad Street, where Morse allegedly admitted the two had cut into an air conditioner in search of scrap metal. When Morse was arrested, police said he had bolt cutters tucked in the front of his pants.
Morse was arrested by Bellwood police Jan. 11 along with Kensinger and Shawn D. Himes II, 18, of 2579 Old Sixth Avenue Road, Altoona, on charges the three entered the former Moran Home at 402 Maple Ave numerous times between August and October to steal copper and vandalize. In all, the building sustained $330,000 in damages and losses, according to police.
Another teen, a juvenile, also faces charges in the Moran Home case, according to records. The juvenile was initially charged as an adult, but that case was withdrawn and a juvenile petition filed due to the fact he was under 18 when the break-ins occurred.
Kensinger, free on a total of $200,000 unsecured bail, and Himes, free on $100,000 unsecured bail, waived preliminary hearings on their cases as did Morse, who remains in Blair County Prison in lieu of $70,000 cash bail.

11.8: Composite Solids
What if you built a solid three-dimensional house model consisting of a pyramid on top of a square prism? How could you determine how much two-dimensional and three-dimensional space that model occupies? After completing this Concept, you'll be able to find the surface area and volume of composite solids like this one.

CK-12 Foundation: Chapter11CompositeSolidsA
Brightstorm: Surface Area of Joined Solids
A composite solid is a solid that is composed, or made up of, two or more solids. The solids that it is made up of are generally prisms, pyramids, cones, cylinders, and spheres. In order to find the surface area and volume of a composite solid, you need to know how to find the surface area and volume of prisms, pyramids, cones, cylinders, and spheres. For more information on any of those specific solids, consult the Concept that focuses on them. This Concept will assume knowledge of those five solids.
Example A
Find the volume of the solid below.
This solid is a parallelogram-based prism with a cylinder cut out of the middle.
\begin{align*}V_{prism} &= (25 \cdot 25)30=18,750 \ cm^3\\ V_{cylinder} &= \pi (4)^2 (30)=480 \pi \ cm^3\end{align*}
The total volume is \begin{align*}18750 - 480 \pi \approx 17,242.04 \ cm^3\end{align*}.
Example B
Find the surface area of the following solid.
This solid is a cylinder with a hemisphere on top. Because it is one fluid solid, we would not include the bottom of the hemisphere or the top of the cylinder because they are no longer on the surface of the solid. Below, "\begin{align*}LA\end{align*}" stands for lateral area.
\begin{align*}SA&=LA_{cylinder}+LA_{hemisphere}+A_{base \ circle}\\ & = \pi rh+ \frac{1}{2} 4 \pi r^2+ \pi r^2\\ & = \pi (6)(13)+2 \pi 6^2+ \pi 6^2\\ & = 78 \pi +72 \pi +36 \pi \\ & = 186 \pi \ in^2\end{align*}
Example C
Find the volume of the following solid.
To find the volume of this solid, we need the volume of a cylinder and the volume of the hemisphere.
\begin{align*}V_{cylinder} & = \pi 6^2 (13)=78 \pi \\ V_{hemisphere}& = \frac{1}{2} \left ( \frac{4}{3} \pi 6^3 \right )=36 \pi\\ V_{total} & = 78 \pi +36 \pi =114 \pi \ in^3\end{align*}
Watch this video for help with the Examples above.
CK-12 Foundation: Chapter11CompositeSolidsB
A composite solid is a solid that is composed, or made up of, two or more solids. Surface area is a two-dimensional measurement that is the total area of all surfaces that bound a solid. Volume is a three-dimensional measurement that is a measure of how much three-dimensional space a solid occupies.
Guided Practice
1. Find the volume of the composite solid. All bases are squares.
2. Find the volume of the base prism. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.
3. Using your work from #2, find the volume of the pyramid and then of the entire solid.
1. This is a square prism with a square pyramid on top. Find the volume of each separeatly and then add them together to find the total volume. First, we need to find the height of the pyramid portion. The slant height is 25 and the edge is 48. Using have of the edge, we have a right triangle and we can use the Pythagorean Theorem. \begin{align*}h=\sqrt{25^2-24^2}=7\end{align*}
\begin{align*}V_{prism}&=(48)(48)(18)=41472 \ cm^3\\ V_{pyramid}&=\frac{1}{3} (48^2)(7)=5376 \ cm^3\end{align*}
The total volume is \begin{align*}41472 + 5376 = 46,848 \ cm^3\end{align*}.
2. Use what you know about prisms.
\begin{align*}V_{prism}&=B \cdot h \\ V_{prism}&=(4\cdot 4)\cdot 5\\ V_{prism}&=80in^3\end{align*}
3. Use what you know about pyramids.
\begin{align*}V_{pyramid}&=\frac{1}{3} B \cdot h \\ V_{pyramid}&=\frac{1}{3}(4 \cdot 4)(6)\\ V_{pyramid}&=32in^3\end{align*}
Now find the total volume by finding the sum of the volumes of each solid.
\begin{align*}V_{total}&=V_{prism}+V_{pyramid}\\ V_{total}&=112 in^3\end{align*}
Find the volume of the composite solids below. Round your answers to the nearest hundredth.
- The bases are squares. Find the volume of the green part.
- A cylinder fits tightly inside a rectangular prism with dimensions in the ratio 5:5:7 and volume \begin{align*}1400 \ in^3\end{align*}. Find the volume of the space inside the prism that is not contained in the cylinder.
Find the surface area and volume of the following shapes. Leave your answers in terms of \begin{align*}\pi\end{align*}.
- You may assume the bottom is open.
- A sphere has a radius of 5 cm. A right cylinder has the same radius and volume. Find the height and total surface area of the cylinder.
Tennis balls with a 3 inch diameter are sold in cans of three. The can is a cylinder. Assume the balls touch the can on the sides, top and bottom.
- What is the volume of one tennis ball?
- What is the volume of the space not occupied by the tennis balls? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.
One hot day at a fair you buy yourself a snow cone. The height of the cone shaped container is 5 in and its radius is 2 in. The shaved ice is perfectly rounded on top forming a hemisphere.
- What is the volume of the ice in your frozen treat?
- If the ice melts at a rate of \begin{align*}2 \ in^3\end{align*} per minute, how long do you have to eat your treat before it all melts? Give your answer to the nearest minute.
Find the volume of the composite solids. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.

OCU to Honor Wilma Mankiller with Tree Dedication
Gloria Steinem will be the guest of honor at a tree-planting ceremony at Oklahoma City University in remembrance of Wilma Pearl Mankiller, the first female chief of the Cherokee Nation who died last year. The ceremony will take place at 11 a.m. Thursday in the center of campus north of the Bishop W. Angie Smith Chapel on N.W. 23rd Street between Kentucky and Blackwelder avenues. It is open to the public.
Steinem is a famous political activist and journalist who advanced women's causes in the 1960s and '70s.
Mankiller led the Cherokee Nation from December 1985 to 1995. She received the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1998. She was an advocate for American Indian and women's rights.
Mankiller was instrumental in tripling the enrollment of the Cherokee tribe and opening medical clinics and a career services center.OCU President Robert Henry and Steinem were among the honored dignitaries who spoke during Mankiller's memorial service in April 2010.

The power of the crowd to invest is about to get a test. iStockphoto
Raising capital for small business is about to get easier.
The SEC is preparing rules to allow companies to raise up to $1 million a year from just about anyone in return for equity.
It won't be until the end of the year or the beginning of 2013 that those rules are in place, but entrepreneurs will be able to raise up to $1 million per year from an unlimited number of people. Investors who make less than $100,000 a year will be able to put up to $2,000 per year. Those who make more will be able to invest 10 percent of their income up to $100,000.
Crowdfunding, as the new system is named, could prove to be fertile ground for entrepreneurs. But even the smartest observers of the entrepreneurial ecosystem can't be sure just how the crowdfunding experiment will play out.
"The world's about to change a lot in the funding arena," said Wil Schroter, the chief executive of Fundable.
He's part of the wave of entrepreneurs looking to create that change. He launched Fundable, his eighth startup, in May to focus on crowdfunding for small businesses. For now, his company runs rewards-based model of crowdfunding and provides a platform for accredited investors to put money into small businesses in return for equity. But Schroter plans to open the gates to full equity crowdfunding when the rules are put in place.
"If you're not in an industry where angels tend to invest, which is pretty much anything but tech, there's almost nowhere to go" to get funding, Schroter said. "The truth is, the demand is out there."
Other companies, like CircleUp and GreenUnite, have emerged with the idea of equity fundraising in specific, nontech areas, with CircleUp concentrating on consumer-goods companies and GreenUnite on green projects. IndieGoGo, already a prominent site for raising money through the rewards-based model, recently hauled in $15 million in venture capital for growth.

Well, you've got to hand it to the Republican Party for a uniquely pathological and obsessive perseverance as they form yet another expensive probe in euphoric hopes of discovering the smallest shred of conspiratorial evidence related to the U.S. embassy attack in Benghazi on 9/11/2012, which killed four Americans.
I suppose the thirteen previous hearings, fifty briefings, and 25,000 pages of documents were some sort of shallow, cursory summary of the events and that this fourteenth hearing will be the exhaustive and detailed examination that Americans have been ravenously craving. The fourteenth time is, indeed, the charm!
It's kind of like how it took over fifty failed votes on repealing the Affordable Care Act for Republicans to finally think that, possibly, the oh-so brilliant "repeal and replace" strategy was somewhat lacking. They also neglected to put together that really important second part of the strategy and still can't articulate what they would replace Obamacare with. Well, at least they're persistent if not mind-numbingly predictable.
The great Benghazi boondoggle is historically significant because it highlights the very worst of partisan obfuscation and "wild-goose hunting." It demonstrates the deliberately persuasive power of manipulative and repetitive rhetoric on a conservative demographic that is far more interested in validating their own prejudices and unhealthy penchant for conspiracy theories, rather than arriving at any truth.
Amongst the tea-drinking, black helicopter crowd, the great Benghazi boondoggle inspires a melodramatic outrage only surpassed by the feigned indignation expressed by those that still somehow believe that President Obama is a practicing Muslim socialist born in Kenya. Yeah, that's the crowd that believes that the Beatle's "Sgt. Pepper's" album was a hieroglyphic conspiratorial puzzle that infallibly proved the death of Paul McCartney. Of course, they also have inside information that the moon landing was a big hoax, too!
This Benghazi boondoggle is the latest in a long line of Republican-conjured faux scandals that do nothing more than waste time and tax-payer dollars while real issues are being ignored. They have been silent on job creation, vast wealth disparity, Wall Street reform, America's crumbling infrastructure, or our exploding prison population. They've been chanting "good guys with guns!" while ignoring the alarming rise in police brutality across the nation.
The Benghazi "boondogglers" also ignore the fact that their insistence on blindly cutting security spending by hundreds of millions prior to the attack was a major factor that contributed to the embassy tragedy. But, why let inconvenient facts get in the way of a good old-fashioned witch hunt?
U.S. House Speaker, John Boehner, appears to be elated that the fourteenth Benghazi committee will get to laboriously drag their contrived proceedings out into the midterm elections. He's hoping voters will be sufficiently distracted from any salient issue facing America, because it's becoming increasingly clear that Republican's have no credible plan to solve the problems that middle-class Americans are facing. He's hoping that if he slings enough mud against the wall that eventually something might stick.
The truth is that the Republican Benghazi narrative deviously relies on a culture of repetition that flourishes regardless of the facts; that people are prone to believe something, almost anything, if they hear it repeated as a mantra, over and over again.
Most Americans are weary and disgusted of these conservative schemes to create scandal out of thin air. What happened in Benghazi was tragic and horrible, but the Republicans are clearly not interested in exploring preventative measures to ensure the future safety of America's ambassadors. They just want anything damaging that they can use in the midterms or to thwart Hilary Clinton in 2016.
In the meantime, we get a fourteenth re-run of the not-so-great Benghazi boondoggle.

The column that says if you have a detriment and you can't control it, get rid of it.
Good afternoon!
It will be cold overnight.
Bridgeton can't get rid of the bathroom problem downtown.
People are urinating on the walls in an alley.
They're defecating behind bushes in the pocket park.
The city is considering port-a-potties.
If you can't control it, get rid of it.
If you don't want a woman in broad daylight going 10 feet from a landscape, get rid of her.
Tell her if she's caught doing it again, she will be banned from the area and face a fine or jail.
If you don't want port-a-potties, you've got to get rid of the source.
If you don't want urinating on walls in an alley between a $1 million riverfront and the downtown business area, get rid of the source.
Whatever it takes.
Bridgeton City Council President Gladys Lugardo-Hemple is handing out 200 Thanksgiving dinners.
"I have a list of 150 people,'' she told city council Monday night. "If you know anyone else who needs a dinner, give me their address.''
The dinners are coming from a restaurant out of the area that closes and prepares 2,000 Thanksgiving dinners.
Lugardo-Hemple picks up 200 and delivers them.
On Saturday, Dec. 14, at 6 p.m., Bethany Grace Community Church will hold its first community Christmas concert with free admissions (love offering will be taken).
The concert will feature:
The Bethany Chancel Choir
Teri Bodine
Don Martindale
Jackie Winquist
Rob Weinstein
Harry Putnam
The Bethany Children
Vicki Wayne, and others.
Additionally, there will be dramatic readings and a puppet show for the children.
The evening will include sacred and secular Christmas music, along with a Christmas sing-along.
Bethany is located at 31 N. Pearl St., Bridgeton.
Visit www.bethanyinbridgeton.com or call 856- 451-4601.
Code enforcement in the city of Bridgeton should pay for itself.
In a distressed city where a 7.2-cent tax hike may be just the tip of the iceberg down the road, penalties are not keeping up with expenditures.
When you have a low-income housing development where unsanitary living conditions are at least suspected, as well as a lot of other problems like illegal vendors in the city, then one department paying for itself should be code enforcement.
We can afford no less.
There won't be lions, tigers and bears, but there will be a fascinating group of mammals, birds and reptiles at the Cumberland County Library on Saturday, Nov. 23, at 2 p.m.
With 250 different species of mammals, birds, amphibians and reptiles, and over 550 animals at the Cape May Zoo, they will have a big choice to select from.
The Cape May Zoo will bring the animals to the Cumberland County Library.
You will hear interesting information about these animals, and may even touch an animal or two!
The Cumberland County Library is located at 800 E. Commerce St. (Route 49), Bridgeton, NJ 08302.
Call 856-453-2210, ext. 101.
Bridgeton can now ride herd on businesses placing items for sale out in front of their stores.
The rule is no more than 2 feet from the store.
The city will take over monitoring that on Jan. 1.
MY KIND OF TOWN: Where why wouldn't unions in the city of Bridgeton agree to one-week furloughs where workers are eligible for unemployment this year, rather than face layoffs next year?

From a long list of possibilities, we've narrowed it down to five must-have herbs to add zip and allure to summertime meals, from salads to dessert. Act soon, order organic seed packets, and grow your own indoors or in a cold frame in the garden for a big head start before the weather turns warm enough for transplanting outdoors.
Borage (Borago officinalis) does double duty: Add the nutritious leaves to salads or steam them like spinach, and pluck the edible blue flowers for color in salads and as garnishes. An old Italian family recipe uses borage leaves in a flavorful bean soup.
For subtle garlic flavor, nothing beats summer-blooming garlic chives (Allium tuberosum), also known as Chinese chives or Chinese leeks. The white flowers are also edible. Add thinly sliced garlic chives to sweet butter, for a mild, outstanding garlic bread. The white blossoms are pretty in salads and as a garnish.
Sorrel (Rumex acetosa) is a prized herb in France, and there are countless recipes for easily prepared, country-style cream of sorrel soup, refreshing when served cold with a dollop of sour cream or crème fraiche in the dog days of summer. Judiciously add the tender, bright green leaves to salads for a lemony hit. Sorrel sauce, served hot or cold, is a flavorful accompaniment to grilled chicken. The herb, a perennial in our climate zone, matures in 60 says.
Both the flowers and leaves of nasturtium (Tropaeolum majus) are edible, delivering a spicy, watercress-like flavor. The outrageously colored flowers are perfect in salads and as all-purpose garnishes (especially on fish), but there are other palate-pleasing possibilities.
For a great spread on crackers, start with good-quality goat cheese at room temperature, fold in finely chopped nasturtium flowers and a few leaves, and add freshly ground pink or white pepper to taste — it's that simple. Colorful nasturtium-flecked whipped cream adds interest to desserts, such as perfectly ripe strawberries bathed in balsamic vinegar. Whip the cream, and then use a spatula to carefully fold in the petals.
An impressive array of climbing, trailing, and mounding nasturtium seeds is available for $2.79 each from Renee's Garden in California (www.reneesgarden.com). "Amazon Jewel," a climber, produces flowers in pumpkin, rose-peach, ruby, gold, and pale lemon tones. "Alaska Mix," a mounding variety, features variegated green and cream-colored leaves, and a palette of bright gold, orange, salmon, and deep mahogany flowers. Other offerings include: "Moonlight" (soft primrose yellow), "Spitfire" (scarlet-orange), and "Cherries Jubilee" (light to deep red).
Shiso (Perilla frutescens), an easy-to-grow annual that self seeds, comes in a ruffle-edged green ("Crispa") and purple-red ("Atropurpurea"). The flavor of red shiso hints of cinnamon, clove, and cumin. It is used as a salad green, in tempuras and sushi, colors umeboshi plums, and is an ingredient in ume plum vinegar from Japan, where the herb is called Beefsteak Leaf.
For safety reasons, herbs should be planted from seed, or purchased as organic seedlings, to avoid pesticide contamination.
Skip flora from nurseries, florists and flowers collected roadside.
"Consume only flowers that you or someone else have grown specifically for that purpose," warns the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences at North Carolina State University. The school also says, "If you have hay fever, asthma or allergies, it's best not to eat flowers since many allergies are due to sensitivity to pollen of specific plants. It's best to introduce flowers into your diet one at a time and in small quantities."
(Yields 4 to 6 servings)
1/2 cup good-quality dry white vermouth (preferably from Italy or France)
1/4 cup finely minced shallots
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 pound sorrel leaves, finely sliced chiffonade-style
1/4 cup good-quality chicken broth
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Place vermouth and shallots in a medium saucepan and bring to simmer. Lower heat, and continue cooking until the mixture is reduced by half. Add the cream, and stir until lightly thickened — no more than 5 minutes. Add the sorrel in small batches, stirring; simmer for a few more minutes. Add the chicken broth, and continue stirring to achieve a smooth consistency.
Season with pepper, and serve hot or cold.
— Adapted from James Peterson, "Vegetables" (William Morrow, 1998)
(Makes 6 servings)
1 cup dried, skinned lima beans or butter beans
3/4 cup dried peas
1/4 cup chickpeas
1/4 cup dried haricot or cannelini beans
1/8 cup lentils, preferably Italian
1 onion, chopped
2 handfuls borage leaves, or spinach or chard
1 handful fennel leaves, preferably wild
1 1/2 tablespoons fennel seeds
1 (12-ounce) can tomatoes
Black pepper
Extra virgin olive oil
Soak all dried beans overnight, except lentils.
The next day, drain, rinse and place all the soaked beans in a large pan with the lentils. Cover with water and bring to a boil. Cover and simmer for 1 to 2 hours or until tender.
Add the onion, greens, fennel seeds, tomatoes and season to taste with salt. Cook for another hour or so until all the beans are soft, adding more liquid, if necessary.
Season with plenty of black pepper or drizzle some olive oil over each bowl before serving. This soup is best made the day before.

Kudos for new restaurant
For many of us who move South in retirement, we usually leave a favorite hometown food behind, knowing we probably won't have it again until we return. For me, that was a good pizza. Well, I'm very happy to tell you my wait is over. There's a new restaurant on Silver Bluff in Centre South called Apizza diNapoli. Cliff and his lovely wife – who by the way was born in Naples Italy – have done their homework and brought to town the best pizza I have had since moving here 15 years ago. Everything's Italian. The wood burning oven comes from Italy as does all of their pizza ingredients. I've told a number of my friends about Apizza di Napoli, who have tried it and love it. So, experience a real Italian pizza and support this new business.
I don't think you'll be disappointed.

Getting to the Greek Theatre from the So Bay is a nightmare....over 2 hrs. The show was very late in getting started.....more than 1/2 hour. There were only seven acts which was considerably less than the "top ten" advertised. It was very difficult to see what was happening on stage even with the video screens. Konichi Ebina's act was lost in the lighting. Definitely not the type of venue needed for a show of this kind. To their credit, the performers did their best but it was clear that they didn't feel comfortable. All in all, it LOOKED like it was thrown together at the last minute and was a waste of "talent". Hopefully their other city performances aren't like this. Wanted to see "Forte".....but that didn't happen for some reason. Mostly... a waste of an evening. Too bad!

Russian Officials Discuss Removing The "Gay" In "Gay Propaganda"
Russian officials are reportedly taking steps to remove the "gay" terminology from Putin's anti-gay laws banning the promotion of "homosexual propaganda" to minors in the country. Before you get excited, we'll just go ahead and tell you this seemingly great news isn't necessarily that great at all.
Putin and his newly-adopted laws have been heavily scrutinized around the world for their use against the LGBT community and the horrific consequences LGBTs have suffered since the legislation passed in June 2013.
Technically speaking, the new legislation amended Article 6.21 in Russia's Code of Administrative Offenses to ban the "propaganda of non-traditional sexual relations." The Russian police have since equated "non-traditional" with "homosexual" and acted accordingly, arresting, beating, and generally making life hell for LGBTs in Russia.
But according to Queer Russia, representatives from a number of Russia's political parties submitted a proposal yesterday to exclude the term "non-traditional" from Article 6.21, which would essentially ban the promotion of any sexual relations to minors—not just gay relations.
Recognizing that the country has come under fire for targeting the LGBT community, the amendment "proposes to deem any information which promotes priority of sexual relations as opposed to family life values, spiritual and intellectual development of of minors as information harmful to the health and (or) development of children."
So, this could either go one of two ways. If passed, the Russian police would treat heterosexual people "promoting heterosexuality" (i.e. kissing, standing, breathing) in public just as harshly as they have the gays (unlikely), or this could just be a way for the government to save face and claim they're officially "no longer targeting homosexuals" (very likely).
Regardless of what happens now, Russia, we'll still think you're an asshole. We've had it with you.
I am surprised that they wish to "save face".
At first, they were proud to be the saviour of children against western states that now accepted "pedophilia".
Of course I find Russia's laws and actions detestable, but what I find even more objectionable is the SILENCE regarding the winter games being held in Dubai- a super anti gay country. Not a PEEP from gay rights activists. Why?
I think this is probably a slightly beneficial change.
They COULD take in heterosexuals for kissing, showing PDA, etc. but more likely this will not happen.
Because this law will not specifically target homosexuals, it will completely lose its teeth if they fail to penalize straight counterparts from PDA. All someone has to do is point out: "Well if they can do it, why can't we?"
While I think de-sexing society entirely may lead to other complications (lack of education for birth control, STD prevention, etc.) it would at least no longer be discriminatory to a certain group (like the LGBT)
@glittercomments: They have Winter in Dubai? I thought it was in the desert.
1) Dubai is not a country, it is an Emirate within the UAE as well as the largest city of that Emirate.
2) It's not hosting winter games, and couldn't ever do so, lacking both mountains capable of having ski events and temperatures anywhere near freezing. In fact the temperature in Dubai has literally never in recorded history gone below 40 degrees Fahrenheit.
3) After Sochi, the next games will be in 2018 and will be held in Pyeongchang, South Korea. The location for the 2022 games hasn't been decided; bids will be accepted later this year. At the moment Olso Norway, Warsaw Poland, Almaty Kazakhstan, Lviv Ukraine, and Beijing China are expected to put in bids.
4) I think maybe you're talking about the 2022 World Cup, which is being held in Qatar. Maybe? Or you're just wildly, wildly misinformed…
@Kevin B:
1- People say Dubai Colloquially to refer to the UAE. Get a life.
2- You have a lot lot lot of time on your hands to type all of this
3- I am in fact referring to 2022; Qatar is super homophobic.
Any reason we aren't hearing any outrage that 2022 has been awarded to Qatar, a country that lashes gay people, and worse??
I agree, UAE is worse than Russia
@glittercomments: So Queerty hasn't mentioned it (I think they actually have) or YOU haven't read about it here, translates to "no outrage" about the World Cup?
Apparently, you don't keep up with football news, because ever since it was announced the World Cup would be in Qatar there has been nothing BUT outrage over this issue.
But the World Cup is in 8 years. The Olympics in less than a month. Don't you think it normal that the immediate problem is getting more coverage "at this time"?
And in case you didn't know, the World Cup has absolutely no connection whatsoever to the Olympics. They are both sporting events, true, but neither organisation answers to the other. It's like criticizing the NHL for something the LPGA is doing.
I think Putin might be on a winner here. He's seen the international backlash. He's seen how it's growing and giving Russia a bad name.
Church Lady voice: How convenient…Keep the hate but change the wording…They will still enforce draconian laws and be jackbooted thugs but with a little sugar on top.
The fact that the Russian government is considering even a slight revision of the anti-gay law is a sign that our protests have had an impact. They are seeing that such laws will destroy Russia, and we must continue to let them see the veracity of that fear. Anti-gay laws are a fast track to 3rd World Nation status and loss of economic power.
1) They should stop. That'd be like referring to the USA colloquially as Pennsylvania… when you really mean Mexico.
2) Maybe 10 minutes, including making sure I got my facts straight? The horror!
3) Yeah Qatar has a pretty terrible human rights record all around. Better than most of its neighbors but that's not saying much in that region. I feel like there will be slightly less protest about the World Cup because there isn't the same scale of home-grown protest there like there is in Russia. But then again a lot can change in 8 years.
No they shouldn't. I speak Arabic, and Arabs say Dubai when they mean UAE. It's like saying Holland to mean the Netherlands- Holland is after all just ONE state of the Netherlands (like Dubai is to the UAE).
Recently got a fantastic gold Dodge Challenger SRT8 Core just by some part time working online with a macbook air… browse around this web-site>>> http://x.co/3kM0B
I think every Russian citizen (and other citizens of anti-gay nations) should be greeted upon arrival to this country at all international airports with people waving the gay pride flag. Show them that in this Country we are more tolerant. Let them know that they are coming to visit a gay nation. If they don't like it they can go home (and take some of the United States bigots with them). Set up shop right in the airport terminal at the gates, customs arrival area, with a bunch of people waving flags.
@glittercomments: Maybe because it's like a decade away?
Russia is doing a temporary eye wash. He is the near consummate dictator. He will not change what he is doing. This is misdirection, nothing more.
My Uncle Matthew just got an awesome metallic Mercedes-Benz C-Class Convertible by working off of a macbook air… navigate to this website>>> http://gg.gg/1109l
"I've got an idea. Instead of no gay sex, no sex at all!"
Naturally, because that will change anything…
2022 games have NOT been decided and will not be until 2015.

The fleeting space of time that immediately follows an opiate overdose is critical. For without a quick emergency response or the means to receive effective treatment, death can be a painful and an all-too-recurring outcome.
In this sense, it's not surprising that naloxone, a prescription medication that reverses the effects of an opioid overdose, is considered by many health care professionals as a viable "last resort" to stave off death by overdose.
Naloxone - often referred to as Narcan - has been used by emergency medical professionals for decades and usually comes in small, easy-to-carry kits. During an overdose, the medication is injected into the upper arm of the victim, reviving him or her (theoretically) in a matter of minutes.
Indeed, with heroin skyrocketing to epidemic proportions in Chautauqua County, local officials are pushing harder than ever to dispense naloxone - an effort reflected by the recent county drug forum that devoted a full hour to the medication and how to administer it.
According to Joseph Gerace, Chautauqua County sheriff, patrols are also looking into naloxone kits.
"We are in the process ... and are going through the proper channels to get the training and the kits themselves," Gerace said. "My intent is to equip all our patrol cars as soon as possible."
The Jamestown and Ellicott police departments, while acknowledging that naloxone kits will mostly be with the emergency and medical responders in the city, indicated that the kits would be a great asset to have in rural communities where police are often first responders.
"I think it's wonderful (that police are carrying Narcan kits)," said Rick Huber, executive director of Jamestown's Mental Health Association. "If (an overdose occurs) in an outlying area and Alstar isn't covering it and volunteer fire departments aren't carrying (naloxone) ... the police (will be able to help)."
Huber has long advocated for Narcan kits being in the hands of first responders. For critics who claim that the medication is a mere safety net for addicts and gives them an added incentive to take riskier doses, Huber stated simply that "we can't help someone into recovery if they're dead, plain and simple."

EAST LANSING — The Big Ten coaches selected three players off Michigan State's No.1-ranked conference defense to their first team.
Middle linebacker Max Bullough and cornerbacks Johnny Adams and Darqueze Dennard were all on the coaches' first team while being selected second-team by the media.
Spartans tailback Le'Veon Bell was the only Michigan State player selected first team by both the media and the coaches.
"Johnny Adams is a three-time All-Big Ten selection, and that speaks volumes,'' Michigan State coach Mark Dantonio said. "We constantly put him on an island and he responded to the challenge. He's an active player with big-play capability.''
Adams had two interceptions in the Spartans' regular-season finale, a 26-10 win at Minnesota that extended Michigan State's school-record bowl streak to six seasons by upping the Spartans' mark to 6-6.
Dantonio was also proud of his other cornerback, Dennard.
"Darqueze Dennard simply had an outstanding season,'' he said. "He's truly a complete player. Darqueze is an excellent tackler, has great ball skills and can run and cover. He, too, played a lot of press coverage.''
The Bullough name is well-known in Michigan State history, as Max is a third-generation Spartan.
Bullough, a team captain, was a Butkus Award semifinalist and led the team with 102 tackles this season.
"I can't say enough about Max Bullough,'' Dantonio said. "He's a great team leader, and he thoroughly prepares for every game. Max is a tough, downhill player who consistently performs at a high level.''
Defensive end William Gholston was a second-team pick by the media and an honorable mention pick by the coaches.
"Will Gholston anchors a defense that helped Michigan State rank No. 1 in the Big Ten against the run,'' Dantonio said. "He's an active player who adds a physical presence at the point of attack.''
Spartans punter Mike Sadler was a first-team pick by the coaches, while the media made Sadler a second-team pick.
Sadler's first-team selection gave Michigan State five in all, the most the program has had since the 1999 season.
"Mike Sadler averaged better than 42 yards per punt and had 28 kicks downed inside the 20,'' Dantonio said. "Mike has an outstanding leg, great placement and excellent get-off time. He's an extremely poised player who has been asked to do a lot for this team. He also has great hands, as he has displayed as our holder.''
Sadler also ran a fake punt for 26 yards against Michigan this season. His 42.2 yards per punt ranks sixth-best in Michigan State history.
Michigan State tight end Dion Sims was a second-team pick by the coaches and the media after making 33 catches for 451 yards this season.
"Despite missing nearly three full games, Dion Sims still earned second-team All-Big Ten honors, so that says something about his production,'' Dantonio said. "He's a big target with great hands. With his combination of size and power, Dion is difficult to bring down, so he gains a lot of yards after the catch. He's also a much-improved blocker.''
Linebacker Denicos Allen, safety Isaiah Lewis, right guard Chris McDonald and defensive end Marcus Rush were honorable mention selections by the coaches and the media.
Receiver Keith Mumphery, tied for the team's lead with 41 receptions and second in receiving yards (511), was Michigan State's recipient of the Big Ten Sportsmanship Award.

Why travel?
Jet lag. Twenty-three and a half hours after leaving Rome we touched down at SeaTac. One entire day and night of cramped seating, blah food and security checks. One
day that discombobulated my internal clock to leave me sleepless at night and groggy during the day. It was not an ideal time to wrestle with the question, why travel.
Thats all in the past. Three months have passed to dim sour memories of the discomfort and inconvenience of a long flight home. Time to confront the question that regularly depletes our bank balance and leaves our friends and neighbors shaking their heads. Time to admit that weve become travel junkies. The question remains, why do we travel?
First off, travel is therapy. One can sit around only so long in cultural sameness before a tendency to not think about or actively care about the outside world sets in. Further, basking in cultural sameness is too much like working out on one exercise machine. Only a few of our mental muscles get any benefit.
Beyond that, the passage of days in this land leaves me living life too much on my terms, hearing too much of my own thoughts echoed through friendly conversations and news media. My wife and I have been around just enough to appreciate that other peoples have worked out different, but perfectly good ways of dealing with whatever comes their way. Witnessing how they do it is my favorite version of adult education. Its invigorating.
So off we flew to destinations in Croatia and Italy where money, language, living conditions, food, transportation and cultural differences pose daunting but not insurmountable challenges. Their love for tourists money all but guarantees that a good time might be had by all.
Friends assume a twenty-three day stay in Europe had to be super-costly. Not so when our United Airlines credit card had amassed enough points to allow us to fly free. Not when breakfasts for two of fruit, yogurt, croissants and coffee cost less than six dollars. Not when lunches of paninni sandwiches and bottled water cost another eight dollars. Not when dinner for two including a half-liter of local wine costs about twenty-seven dollars. Not when local custom calls for leaving only small change for a tip.
Planning an affordable European jaunt is half the fun of it. Even foreign rail and bus timetables are only a couple of well-aimed keystrokes from my desk. Websites for B&Bs picture rooms appointments and spot their location on city maps. A problem with that is that maps are only two-dimensional. According to the web-map, our room in Dubrovnik looked to be an easy hundred meters off the main drag, a distance that proved to be a near-vertical climb of 108 stairs to get from the street to our room.
But now were back home in Marysville to mull a wealth of experiences that leave us glad to be back but sorry were not still there. Its nice to have a car again, but not nice enough to balance the ease and comfort of traveling on Europes convenient trains and buses. Our Marysville home feels extravagantly roomy but it would be nicer if we had a coffee shop and restaurants on our block, a la Italy. Our spacious lawns and gardens are nice, too, but a little patio with potted flowers has its points.
In short, travel confirms that there is more than one good way to live. But there were grim lessons, too. A trip to war-torn Mostar (Bosnia-Herzgovina) put us in the midst of bullet-riddled devastation, a place where peace-keepers are still necessary to keep hostile factions from clashing. Over dinner, Stjepko Simovic told of spending three years crawling around mountaintops with his rifle while his wife and daughter took refuge in Munich. Three years cut out of his life, he said.
As to learning, we visited Paradise Regained, a Chinese exhibition in Venice that focused on rural architecture, then toured and talked our way through the Natura-Urbana conference in Perugia that blended urban architecture with ecology. We enjoyed long conversations with Croatian school-people; had a chance meeting with Karen Dolan of Americas Institute for Policy Studies, found ourselves in Assisi for the Feast of St. Francis (pomp with all the trimmings) and checked bookstores to see whats being written overseas about our homeland. I enjoyed two gab-sessions with Michael, a retired Channel Islander and economist. As we parted, he asked, Had you not been born American, where in the world do you think you might want to live? Interesting.
Along the way we chatted with Norwegian dancers, an Argentine steel man, Croatian hoteliers, a Bosnian refugee, a Croatian artist, a retired Vietnamese-American stockbroker, a Chinese architectural engineer, a fiercely Irish Irishman, parents who described their childrens education in Croatia and tourists from Canada, Brazil, Australia, Germany, Ireland, England, Poland and elsewhere who were gracious enough to join in discussions.
Thats why were already tossing around ideas for another trip. So much world to learn about and so little time.

Crippling fantasies
Joseph Gordon-Levitt wrote, directed and plays the title role in Don Jon, a film about a young man who earned his nickname through his polished routine of bedding beautiful women. But Jon also spends hours online looking at pornography, and he admits that he prefers pornography to sex with actual women.
Jon's routine is predictably interrupted when he meets Barbara, played by Scarlett Johansson. Barbara is not about to fall into bed with Jon. She withholds sex and uses it as a tool to shape Jon into her perfect boyfriend.
But the film veers away from being a romantic comedy: Don Jon is not about a pornography addict saved by a good woman. It's about the unhealthy collision of two people who are ready only for severely broken relationships. Jon's addiction to pornography crashes into the ideals of a pampered princess; Barbara, like Jon, seems unable to grapple with reality.

A tropical wave has moved off the west coast of Africa and is producing showers and thunderstorms 200 miles east-southeast of the Cape Verde Islands, the National Hurricane Center reported in its Thursday evening update.
"Some slow development of this disturbance is possible over the next several days while it moves westward at about 15 mph," wrote Michael Brennan, senior hurricane specialist.
"Regardless of development, this system could bring heavy rain and gusty winds in squalls to portions of the Cape Verde Islands tonight and Friday."
Tropical formation chances over the next 48 hours were 20 percent and 30 percent over the next five days.

What would the Devils do without shootouts? After beating the Florida Panthers, 3-2, in a shootout, the Devils now have seven shootout wins on the season, most in the NHL.
Ilya Kovalchuk has taken some heat from NJ.com users this season, but after last night's two-assist game, fans are praising the Devils' star.
From NJ.com user devszid:
That was one of the best games Kovy has played for Devs this year. He played w/ speed, in traffic, along the boards, amazing puck handling, vision. The guy was physical and skilled and, in short, he looked like a 100 million dollar player last night.
That top line was great these last 2 nights, and the team's best defense is that line just wearing opposition out. Devs dominated a 3rd period for a change and FLA was lucky to get a point. This D looks real shaky at times, but I thought Tao played well and Bryce was real solid and has become the anchor of that D with the influx of roster change. I'm still worried about this group on D, but the other teams will have a tough time scoring if they're too busy cleaning up their own end.
From NJ.com user Matt:
devszid - You hit the nail on the head...Kovy put on a clinic last night - actually he's played well both games. But last night... holy smokes - that guy toys with opponents. Did you see the in the 3rd when he went from our zone to their blue line and stopped? I had to rewind it and watch it in slow motion just see how he did what he did... Amazing.
Florida had 1 shot on goal in the 3rd - that's "old-time Devils hockey"...
Great road trip for the team. Big game on Friday with the whole Niedermayer night so they better show up.

Any rumors out there that Tim Tebow may have moved to Hoboken can be put to rest, the Jets' backup quarterback says.
Meeting with reporters yesterday at the Jets' training facility in Florham Park, Tebow told reporters: "I don't live in Hoboken. I've never even been in Hoboken."
Yo, Tim. Don't say it like living in Hoboken is a bad thing. After all, there's a two-time Super Bowl-winning quarterback living there.
Tebow is hoping his answer puts an end to rumors that the former Denver starting quarterback had moved into town.
Last month, the New York Post reported Tebow was renting a place at 2 Constitution Court, a 13-story luxury condo building on the waterfront uptown.
The rumors had been circulating in the weeks before, and even caught the attention of Mayor Dawn Zimmer, who fired off a note on Twitter demanding that the newest Hoboken resident be given his privacy. Afterward, Hoboken spokesman Juan Melli said the mayor did not know if Tebow actually did live in town.

With head football coach Les Miles preparing to face the slings and arrows of SEC Media Days, which start today in Hoover, Ala., LSU dodged a bullet from the NCAA on Tuesday.
The NCAA's Committee on Infractions handed the Tigers one year of probation and accepted the university's self-imposed sanctions after finding major violations in the recruitment of a prospect in 2009.
LSU's self-imposed penalties included a reduction of two initial scholarships in the 2012 class, the reduction of two overall scholarships in the 2010-11 academic year, a 10-percent reduction in official visits in 2010-11 and limitations on recruiting phone calls. The NCAA extended the visit restrictions to 2011-12.
The violations, which included impermissible lodging and transportation and excessive phone calls, involved former assistant coach D.J. McCarthy and defensive lineman Akiem Hicks, according to multiple reports. Hicks left the program after the 2009 season without playing for the Tigers.
McCarthy, who resigned in December 2009, was cited for unethical conduct and was handed a one-year show-cause order that would restrict his recruiting activities if he is hired by another school.
Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference commissioner Dennis Thomas, chairman of the infractions committee, said the assistant coach "enlisted athletic department student workers to take actions he knew or should have known were violations," and then took measures to conceal his actions, including the use of a second phone line of which the LSU athletic department was unaware.
"All of the violations were major violations," Thomas said Tuesday during a media conference call.
Additional violations in the case included 3,600 phone calls made or taken by three non-coaching staff with high school coaches or administrators, prospects or prospects' relatives.
The infractions committee lauded the work of LSU's compliance office, which it said "was proactive, fully investigated and cooperated with the enforcement staff to uncover the full range of the violations."
LSU chancellor Mike Martin said the university does not plan to appeal the NCAA's decision.
"This is a fair outcome," LSU athletic director Joe Alleva said in a statement on the school's website. "It is extremely rare that a university would be given less than two years probation in a situation like this."I think this outcome shows that if a university is proactive in its compliance operation, it will be treated fairly for its efforts."
The NCAA is continuing to investigate LSU's connections with Houston-based recruiting service operator Willie Lyles, but Thomas said any violations found in investigations begun before Tuesday's announcement would not fall within the five-year window for repeat-offender status.

For years we've dabbled with the best methods of file sharing, calendar management and email setups. It's been a long road but we've finally reached our 'Mecca'.
So, after years of dabbling with POP3 iMap, exchange, Samba shares, Webdav calendars, hardware backups and endless disappointment, have we found the perfect business setup? Well we think so and we'd like to share it with other smaller business owners that want all the bells and whistles of what was formerly the domain of large business – the company intranet, file sharing and remote working… it's now oh so easy.
With the advent of cloud computing comes a new era of accessibility – and here are the tools to do this (or the ones that worked for us at least):
Google Apps
By far the most efficient and cost effective (the Standard Edition is free) route to getting things kicked off is Business Edition of Google Apps. This suite of tools from Google provides just about everything you need in terms of business communication. The suite includes:
- 7GB of email – which is easily used with any email application, although we love the web based interface and 'offline' feature which uses Google Gears to cache your emails locally.
- Public, Private and Shared Calendars – This is so powerful. Create as many calendars as you like, and share them with whoever you like. The system has a great interface and also supports the event invite process used by most of us to confirm meetings.
- Shared documents – not file sharing you as you might know it but an online collaborative tool – fully compatible with the Office suite. Collaborate on documents in realtime and have them for easy access online anytime. We can't remember the last time we needed to open Excel.
- Contacts – Each User can store their contacts using Google Contacts. This easily syncs with smartphones and other address books so you never have to worry about losing anything.
We wouldn't be exaggerating if we said that every small business should start off using this – it's an essential tool, it's absolutely free and takes an hour to set up on your domain.
File sharing with Jungle Disk
After initially using the usual suspects (Samba and VPN) to share files we've now moved everything to the cloud (Rackspace and Amazon S3). This means that we have a repository of live files as well as several backups securely stored and available whenever we need them. Moreover we automatically sync with this repository on every machine we have – be it a laptop, desktop, Mac, Windows or Linux based machine. We use Jungle Disk to do this which is a background program which essentially watches the cloud repository (online storage) which you've set up and linked to a directory on your local machine. If any of us make a change on one then we see the new files on the other machines as long as it's using the same repository in the same cloud.
There's an iPhone application which allows us to access files if we need to and a web based interface should we require it. It also allows the setup of individual disks in the cloud for users so they can backup and sync their data or even entire machine backups.
So far we've had few issues and it just works.
What would we do without it? It runs our phone system so we use it for external callers, it keeps us in touch via chat all day and it gives us the ability to conference call with clients and each other.
As previously mentioned we use Skype for our phone system. This is a fairly new thing but it works exceptionally well. We have decent internet connections so why not?
The way this works is that calls come into our central Skype account on a Skype-In number which then forwards the call to each of the Hutchhouse offices (using their Skype accounts thus also making them mobile). It also forwards to a landline just in case. If the call is picked up then great – if not then it goes back to our central Skype answer machine. This means we can pick up calls wherever we are. It's been a real time saver.
Customer Relationship Management, WorkflowMax
A CRM keeps everyone who needs to be in the loop… in the loop. It's a real time saving application and – because we would only consider a web based solution – it's amazingly flexible.
Because we wanted to use a CRM which combined our sales processes (including quotations and estimates with our production process) we decided on using WorkflowMax. This works for us because it not only keeps us ontop of leads and jobs but it also does timesheeting and billing. It also fully integrates with our online accounts package Xero. This means we have an end-to-end business system underpinning our processes. Notwithstanding there are several amazing CRM systems out there like Salesforce.com, SugarCRM, Capsule CRM and Highrise from 37Signals so go and try them out.
Online accounting, Xero
After years of being tied to our desktop based accounting package we have finally moved to Xero. As we currently run two offices we require multiple accounts in multiple locations. We couldn't continue using the desktop software which had served us so well for years because (although very good) it just wasn't flexible enough. We have to admit, the move has been refreshingly simple.
We now have a single touch point for all of our contacts, sales, quotes, invoices and reports. It's revolutionised the way we work and frees up so much time that are able to expand as a result. All for a few pounds a month.
That's it for now – we just felt compelled to write this as it feels good to have this stuff at your fingertips… and it'll just keep on getting better.

My daughter has adjusted to the new reality of rising gas prices faster than her parents.
She did the math and came up with this supremely logical conclusion: Instead of buying, say, 20 bucks of gas a week, she should instead fill up whenever possible.
Her reasoning: Gas is cheaper today than it will be next week. Might as well buy as much as your car can hold at today's prices instead of tomorrow's.
Her announcement stopped me in my tracks. Goodness ... she's right!
I supposed her ability to adjust stems from her experience: Since she began driving four years ago, the price of gas has done nothing but rise. Now the only difference is it rises startlingly faster than before.
A few years ago she asked us if prices would ever go back down. We considered the world picture. Our verdict: No.
(Were we perhaps prescient? Did we foresee the coming climb in prices? No, but we knew enough to grasp they weren't going to drop.)
Lately, gas prices have brought another change to the household. They've accomplished what twenty-some years of marriage couldn't: We actually coordinate our driving. You know, as in com-mun-i-ca-tion.
Our usual pattern is to go hither and yon, independently, informing each other of a vague itinerary: "I'm going to that board meeting I told you about last night, then I'm doing a bunch of errands, and I'll be back around 2." That kind of thing.
Sometimes I'm the one going hither and yon; sometimes hubby is the one going hither and yon.
But with such vague communication, there is always the possibility we'll both go to yon. Or hither. We've actually run into each other at the town library. We greet each other with a laugh.
Pathetic, I know, but it has worked for us.
Now, however, we are learning to be Mr. and Mrs. Domestic Bliss, a regular Ward and June Cleaver: "Hey, I'm going to the library, then I might swing by the hardware store before I go grocery shopping. Do you need anything?"
I'd like to say we've changed because we're gradually becoming more organized, but no such luck. We're changing because we're cheap.
As the cost of driving inched -- then vaulted -- upward, we gradually factored it into our calculations: Is it better to drive to see the Broadway show, or take the train? Is it worth driving X miles to the big-box discount store if we only save Y dollars? Should we hold off on that trip to the mall until we can go together? Given the difference in fuel economy, should we switch cars for this trip or that trip?
Then my husband carried this to its ultimate use: He calculated almost to the penny how much it cost to drive to the errand-y part of town. It wasn't that much -- about a dollar -- but it was enough to get our attention.
After all, why spend two dollars when, if we combined trips, we could spend just one dollar? (Or, as I write this, $1.25?) (Or as you read it, $1.35?)
It's the modern version of pioneer times: "Put on your Sunday-go-to-meetin' clothes, Jebediah, we're takin' the buggy into town!"
Now, when one of us goes hither, we ask if anyone else needs something from hitherland. And we're even starting to carpool to yon.

It appears that a hacker or hackers are managing to log in to Origin accounts and then change the e-mail address and passwords associated with them, which of course locks out the original owners.
Stolen accounts are, sadly, nothing unusual in the modern online world; however, the security processes—or lack thereof—on Origin accounts are making it difficult for customers to get their accounts back. To verify accounts, EA customer service asks users to verify their dates of birth. However, the hackers are apparently changing the birthdates stored in a profile when they take over an account, thus preventing users from regaining access. Unlike other services such as Steam or Google, Origin currently has no secondary authorization process or two-step verification available.

An inspirational South Whidbey Academy moment | GUEST VIEWPOINT
By Kristie Arnold
I have been a teacher within the South Whidbey School District for 35 plus years. The majority of my wonderful career has been spent working within traditional classrooms teaching a variety of terrific kids.
Three years ago, I found myself in totally unfamiliar territory. I was placed at Whidbey Island Academy, a K-8 parent-teacher partnership offered by our district. This fall, even more changes were on the horizon — Whidbey Island Academy joined forces with Bayview Alternative School, becoming South Whidbey Academy.
Like most in our community, I had grave concerns and many questions. How was this blending of schools going to affect our primary population? How would we keep our little ones safe and secure from older high school students? Was our district crazy to expect alternative high school students to inhabit the same learning environment as young, parent partnership kids? How in the world was I supposed to fit into this menagerie?
Since September, things have been going great. However, Dec. 20, I witnessed the most incredible, unimaginable bonding and sense of community I've ever experienced during my teaching career.
As I passed SWA's high school building on my way in to work with my elementary kids, I wondered why a Christmas tree was being lighted and lights and decorations were being put up in the high school classrooms — just one day prior to our two week vacation. I knew there was a holiday celebration that afternoon. I knew the high school students were in charge, and they would be providing lunch for our younger students and invited guests. I've attended so many holiday school parties over the years, I'd planned to just skip this one, or step in for just a quick moment.
When I entered those rooms (yes, the walls had been opened up for the first time in years) my eyes immediately filled with tears. I could not get rid of the goosebumps, my heart and soul were filled with unexpected hope, joy and thanksgiving. The lights were low, all tables decorated in red, lights and decorations everywhere. Christmas music was playing in the background, a yule log burning full screen. Four generations were gathered together; students of all ages, sizes and backgrounds. Four generations singing, laughing, eating and playing together. Four generations remembering and collectively celebrating what this season is really all about.
Talk about a sense of community and genuine family. For me, nothing could equate except my family Christmas' past, spent at my grandma's home. Our high schoolers created a day full of closeness and happiness for all. The high school population put together an afternoon full of fun and celebration, an incredible experience many of our kids, as well as myself, will ever forget.
For the first time, I realized the extraordinary gift SWA has to offer our kids and our community. I've come to understand we don't all fit into the same traditional school model. We have different learning styles and different educational needs. Many of us require a unique, nontraditional learning environment. That's OK, we just need to accept and respect the fact that we don't all have to fit into a singular learning mold. This district and our students are extremely fortunate to be on the cutting edge of the ever changing classroom. I sincerely believe SWA is creating a true parent, student, teacher and community partnership, one which any charter school would be proud to emulate!
Thanks, SWA high schoolers! Please continue your role as innovative role models. You make me proud and thankful to say I am a part of South Whidbey Academy!

One concern some have about the hospitalist model has been that it may contribute to depersonalization in healthcare. And yet, the way the Japanese people responded to the 2011 earthquake and tsunami illustrates how healthcare workers without existing patient relationships can still care deeply for patients and earn their trust.
Explore this issue:May 2012
On March 11, 2011, an earthquake of 9.0 magnitude hit northeast Japan. It was followed by a tsunami more than 45 feet tall. The world was horrified by the images of waves swallowing the coast of Japan, throwing boats and cars about like toys. As of March 2012:
- 15,854 deaths had been attributed to the earthquake;
- 3,155 people were still missing;
- More than 2.5 million houses were destroyed and
- 344,290 evacuees were still homeless.
A meltdown of nuclear reactors at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant is now under way, and the country still struggles to minimize the impact of radiation contamination.
As government officials and representatives of Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO), operator of the Fukushima nuclear facility, lamented they were "prepared for a tsunami 20 feet tall, but not 45 feet," I could not help but recall a similar conversation I had years ago with one of my patients.
Working at my primary-care clinic, I was taking care of a woman who was in her fifties who had hypertension, diabetes, and hyperlipidemia. She was adherent to all of her medications and diet; she had just started swimming at the YWCA; she was a model patient whose numbers were all pristine. We did everything we could and all indications were that she was going to do very well. Yet, one day, she suffered a major stroke. "This is so unexpected," I lamented when I saw her in the hospital.
Adversity can bring out both the best and the worst of human nature. The world witnessed diligence, solidarity, and fortitude by the Japanese following the 2011 disaster. Viewers around the world were surprised by media coverage of the affected areas, as reports showed hardly any evidence of violence or looting. Hundreds of evacuees living in a school gymnasium were engaging in morning stretches together. At mealtime, the evacuees lined up quietly, waiting for rations of food and water. They politely took turns using portable toilets and showers. Some women were taking care of the elderly while their husbands searched for missing neighbors. There was a strong sense of "we are all in this together."

A company's planned jump to nearby Hudson has Macedonia leaders skeptical of Hudson Mayor Bill Currin's crusade to build collaboration among the region's communities.
Macedonia Mayor Don Kuchta: "I was floored ... and very, very upset because of our financial condition."
Hudson Mayor Bill Currin: "We all burn a lot of brainpower and money to placate [businesses]."
Despite Macedonia's appeal, the Ohio Tax Credit Authority approved $59,000 in tax breaks for Norandex last week.
Norandex, a distributor of building materials, appears ready to move less than six miles from its Macedonia office building, nestled against Interstate 271, to the vacant, former headquarters of Dairy Mart, a stone's throw from the Ohio Turnpike in Hudson.
Both the Ohio Department of Development and Hudson believe Norandex will leave for Pennsylvania without the tax subsidies.
Hudson rejected an 11th-hour proposal - brokered in part by Summit County Executive Russell Pry - to split 50 percent of Norandex's income tax with Macedonia. The unique deal would have softened the blow to Macedonia of losing a multimillion-dollar payroll.
Apart from Norandex, Currin is promoting the concept of sharing taxes from new growth in the region. But to Macedonia's chagrin, Currin and others in Hudson aren't ready to take the tax-sharing plunge unless a lot of other communities jump in, too.
"You get a little jaded about their opinions of regionalism," said a frustrated Steven Brunot, Macedonia's finance director.
Currin said he understands Macedonia's anger.
Hudson soon will lose 170 jobs to a next-door neighbor. A law firm and its related businesses are pulling up stakes to build in Stow, under a tax break deal that will save the company $800,000 over 13 years.
"We all burn a lot of brainpower and money to placate [businesses]," Currin said. "But these are the rules we are under."
The Macedonia-Hudson tussle is the latest in winner-take-all battles that Northeast Ohio communities wage over companies that move.
Currin and others with the Northeast Ohio Mayors and City Managers Association say the tax break dust-ups are a drag on the regional economy.
The association will shortly unveil a study on the potential benefits of our 16-county region sharing a portion of taxes from new commercial and industrial growth, and planning where that growth should go.
Such a regional strategy should quell the city-on-city competition for business, proponents say.
Time will tell whether this region embraces the concept. For now, Macedonia would have to deal with an estimated $49,000 hit to its 2008 tax revenues, because of Norandex's planned move to Hudson.
Last fall, Macedonia and state officials felt they made a strong play to keep Norandex in the northern Summit County suburb.
The Ohio Department of Development offered $219,000 in tax breaks and grants to help Norandex expand at its two-story office building off South Bedford Road.
Lt. Gov Lee Fisher made the offer in a letter to Norandex. A handwritten note next to his signature said, "We are very pleased to partner with you on this important investment."
The state's offer was in effect until mid-January. But Macedonia Mayor Don Kuchta said he heard little from the company until a shocking April 9 notice from the Ohio Tax Credit Authority - Norandex was seeking tax credits for a move to Hudson.
"I was floored when we got that . . . and very, very upset because of our financial condition," Kuchta said. "All we've been doing is trying to right a sinking ship."
Macedonia knew Hudson had a powerful incentive. Hudson could offer income tax rebates based on 85 new jobs - 75 moving from Macedonia and 10 more from planned expansion.
Macedonia could offer income tax credits on new jobs, too - but just the 10 resulting from expansion.
Indeed, Hudson had offered Norandex a $400,000 grant, equal to 50 percent of its income taxes over eight years, if the company agreed to maintain its jobs for 10 years at the Dairy Mart site.
Hudson also offered a five-year grant of $145,000 for the costs of a waterline.
Norandex could realize more than $600,000 in tax breaks and grants, if the state approved the $59,000 job-creation credit on Ohio's franchise tax. Company officials could not be reached for comment about the deal.
With the state apparently ready to okay the deal, Macedonia asked Summit County to intervene.
After an emergency meeting at Executive Pry's office, the county helped hammer out a proposal that would have Macedonia and Hudson splitting the other 50 percent of income tax flowing from Norandex's new site.
That would mean Hudson receiving only 25 percent of Norandex's income tax over eight years. So state officials offered more money to "make everyone whole, or as whole as they possibly could," said Brunot, the Macedonia finance director.
Jody Roberts, Hudson's economic development manager, said the state never produced a commitment in writing.
In an April 23 e-mail to Macedonia, Summit County and state development officials, Roberts said Hudson City Council did not favor sharing taxes with Macedonia.
"We are too far along in the process to change the rules midstream," Roberts wrote. Hudson would keep its deal on the table "understanding that the State of Ohio may decide to pull its current offer to the company."
The next day, Macedonia's Brunot urged the state to do just that.
Brunot asked the Ohio Tax Credit Authority to force Hudson to join the tax-sharing deal.
"If communities are encouraged to feed off of the jobs located in their neighboring communities to the detriment of taxpayers in both communities, regionalism will not be achieved," Brunot wrote in an April 24 e-mail. "Regionalism requires that we draw the line at some point and agree to discontinue the feeding frenzy."
The five-member tax credit authority considered Macedonia's letter but voted unanimously last week to approve the tax breaks for the Norandex move. The company must commit to staying in Hudson for a decade to receive the credits.
State officials believed that Norandex would consolidate with other operations in Valley Forge, Pa., unless it could strike a suitable deal in Hudson, said Steve Schoeny, director of the state development department's Strategic Business Investment Division.
Pennsylvania "is always a strong competitor. It raises a red flag," Schoeny said.
Hudson City Council is expected to approve its deal with Norandex at a meeting Wednesday.
Summit County's Pry said the tension over Norandex "is why we need to get municipalities to agree that competing amongst ourselves is not the best thing for the region."
Pry's office is drafting strategies on tax sharing and city-to-city collaboration on business moves. He had hoped Hudson and Macedonia would sign the tax-sharing deal as a first step.
"But too much had already transpired," Pry said.

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- A new survey suggests that Cuyahoga County residents are strongly convinced of the importance of the arts to education and to the area's economy.
Accordingly, the nonprofit Community Partnership for Arts and Culture, which sponsored the study, is urging local arts groups to reinforce those messages to patrons, donors and audience members.
"We want to elevate on an annual basis an awareness of the [arts and culture] sector's impact on the economy and on neighborhoods," said Tom Schorgl, president and CEO of CPAC. The organization supports the arts through research, education and programs.
The survey, conducted in December for CPAC by the New York office of Global Strategy Group, involved gathering opinions from a representative sample of 404 county residents, Schorgl said. The margin of error was plus or minus 4.9 percent.
Of those surveyed, 47 percent said they found it "very convincing" and 41 percent "somewhat convincing" that the arts improve the quality of the community and "provide leisure and entertainment to millions."
Asked whether the arts improve student performance on reading and math, 51 percent said they found the statement "very convincing" and 32 percent "somewhat convincing."
And when asked whether the arts "give the city a world class image," 46 percent of respondents said the found the statement "very convincing" and 37 percent "somewhat convincing."
Schorgl said CPAC will conduct the same survey annually on an ongoing basis to track public attitudes toward the arts, and will share the information. A memo about the survey results went on Monday to some 70 arts organizations, ranging from large institutions to smaller groups such as Dobama Theatre and Near West Theatre.
Schorgl said the surveys are not intended to influence public opinion specifically in advance of public debate over whether to renew Cuyahoga County's 30-cents-a-pack cigarette tax for the arts, which expires in 2016.
"It is part of our effort to raise awareness and to connect the arts and culture sector with the community, and this is one of the ways we can do it," Schorgl said of the survey.
Interestingly, the survey found that for a large number of residents, the arts are a strong personal interest. Nearly a third of respondents described themselves as a professional or amateur musician, painter, actor, performer, poet or photographer.
And a major of respondents – 52 percent – said they visit or take advantage of the county's arts and culture offerings at least once every two or three months. Some 29 percent said they participate in an arts event at least once a month or more.
"I think they [the findings] indicate a great benchmark for comparison in the future," Schorgl said. "I think that it reflects a greater appreciation for a broad range of arts and cultural activities and organizations and artists."

M. Vestergaard (OSU), L.C. Ho (OCIW)
We use a large, high-quality spectral data base of well-selected, moderate-redshift quasars to characterize the incidence of narrow associated C\,{\sc iv} \lambda\,1549 absorption, and how this may depend on some quasar properties.
Associated narrow absorption lines (NALs) in active galaxies have widths less than a few hundred km\,s-1 and are located within ±5000\,km\,s-1 of the emission redshift. They are likely physically connected to the active galactic nucleus and are possibly the low-velocity equivalents to the more dramatic broad absorption features (BALs), with line widths reaching tens of thousands of km\,s-1. The current physical interpretation is that the line widths of both NALs and BALs trace the outflow velocity of the absorbing gas and that these outflows are somewhat equatorial. The exact solid angle extension of the NAL and BAL matter above the disk is unknown.
BALs are predominantly found in the high-luminosity, radio-quiet quasars with a frequency of 10--12%. NALs appear present in 50--70% of the low-luminosity Seyfert galaxies, yet the frequency in quasars and how it may depend on source radio power and source axis inclination are unknown. We will address this issue with our large, high-quality, UV spectral data base of z\approx\,2 quasars for which the data are uniformly processed and analyzed. We study the frequency of associated C\,{\sc iv} NALs and test for possible trends with quasar properties, such as luminosity, UV spectral slope, radio loudness, and source inclination. A progress report will be presented at the meeting.
