Carbondale is located in Lackawanna county about 15 miles northeast of Scranton and is an important city in Pennsylvania history. Founded in 1822, the land which became the city was developed by the Wurts brothers, founders of the Delaware and Hudson Canal Company and later the Delaware and Hudson Railroad. Carbondale is the 4th oldest city in the Commonwealth (behind only Philadelphia, Lancaster and York). And the Pioneer City, as it calls itself, was just that, a pioneering city of firsts. Carbondale was the first city in America with an underground mine and the first coal breaker in the country was erected there. Perhaps more important, Carbondale was also the first city in America with a commercially successful railroad.
"The anthracite coal deposits that the Wurts' discovered here in Northeastern Pennsylvania were the richest deposits of anthracite coal in the world," writes historian Dr. S. Robert Powell. "They made this discovery while America was in the midst of its first fuel crisis, so they built a canal to transport all this coal to New York City."
They had to move the hard coal to the canal at Honesdale for shipment east, so the Wurts brothers built the Delaware & Hudson Gravity Railroad. Gravity railroads moved coal up and over the hills and mountains. Dozens of small interconnected coal cars were linked together, and a stationary steam engine would draw them up the rise to the engine house via a cable. Then they coasted down the slope until the next hill, where the process would be repeated. Hundreds of thousands of tons of anthracite coal traveled east to provide heat and light to New York City.
The D&H's first locomotive, the Stourbridge Lion, made history in 1829 as the first locomotive to run on rails in the United States. Carbondale ultimately became a main terminal of the D&H as well as a destination for many other regional railroads. They all came for the clean "black diamond" energy—anthracite coal–found in abundance beneath and around the city. Countless tons of anthracite also traveled from Carbondale to the Midwest via rail and the Erie Canal. Carbondale was, for decades, a boom town.
Carbondale's fortunes rose and fell with the rise and fall of anthracite coal mining. Over time, the coal became less economically viable to mine in and around Carbondale. Nationally, the anthracite industry reached a peak of 100 million tons mined in 1917; by 1950 it had dropped by more than half. The city of Carbondale's financial health mirrored the loss of business and industry which the mines and railroads had provided for so many decades. Wages and prospects fell and school consolidations and closings inevitably accompanied the decline in population.
The once-proud rail lines running to and from Carbondale met a similar fate. As business fell off, the busy Carbondale Rail Yard became more and more quiet. The Pennsylvania Northeast Regional Rail Authority ultimately acquired the D&H track in 1985. Authority President Larry Malski called it "the oldest continually operated track in the country," but also admitted about the Carbondale yards, "Since the 1950s and '60s, this has laid basically dormant. For 25 years, we've been trying to do something up here."
That was then. Fast forward to 2010. "Carbondale historically has always been known for railroads and energy," Carbondale Mayor Justin Taylor said. "Here we are on the cusp of the next energy boom."

You know how it goes when smoking in your car. If you've got nonsmokers traveling or commuting with you, and you opt to smoke, it may create some conflict.
Even if you don't have passengers and you smoke in the car, you probably know all too well all the negatives that come along with it. Annoying things like burning your seats or upholstery, dropping your ash all over the place, the smell that never seems to go away, and the most detrimental possibility being the distraction they can cause.
While you may not consider the many benefits of e-cigs in their other contexts, when it comes to smoking in the car they are so much more convenient than smoking tobacco.
E-cigs in the car can save you the trouble and stress of the mess, as well as possibly downgrading your car's value due to cigarette damage. You won't be dropping ash, burning anything, or permeating your seats with the tobacco odor. Your passengers; whether they're friends or carpoolers, won't be disgruntled over the offensive toxic smoke and odor. Plus, none of these negatives will be distracting you!
Having the right accessories is one of the best features of using e-cigs in any situation.
In the car, they allow you so much freedom and can ensure you're always set to vape. The car adapter charger allows you to charge your batteries from your car's outlet.
Whether you are commuting or traveling long distances, you have the ability to make the most of your time by charging up. Another option that works really well when you know you're going to be in the car for a long period of time is using the Personal Charging Case. This case charges batteries as it holds them, without an additional power source, giving you the freedom of wireless, mobile charging!
When it comes to enjoying nicotine in the car, the only way to do it right is with e-cigs. They are simply better for you, the people carpooling with you, your car, and having all around convenience!
Check our excellent selection of accessories to make it all work for you! Smoking in your car just got very interesting!

A man who robbed a Bergenline Avenue bank Wednesday was caught Thursday night, police said the same day his photo was published in The Jersey Journal and the day after it appeared on NJ.com.
Erikson Tejeda, 20, who police described as homeless, was found in the area of Bergen Turnpike around 8 p.m., police said.
Police said detectives received several phone calls from residents who said they saw Tejeda's picture on NJ.com and in The Jersey Journal, and gave officers a few leads.
Using that information, as well as information from the narcotics unit, police said they were able to arrest Tejeda Thursday night.
"It was very good detective work," Police Chief Richard Molinari said yesterday. "They got information and worked hours and hours on it and they were able to make the apprehension."
Police say Tejeda entered the Capital One bank at 3201 Bergenline in Union City on Wednesday at 10:23 a.m. and spent a few minutes in the bank, telling a manager he was waiting for someone. Minutes later, Tejeda handed one of the tellers a note that said, "Hand over the money and no one gets hurt," police said.
Police said that Tejeda stole "a very small amount" of money from the bank, but the proceeds of the robbery were not recovered. Tejeda was charged with first-degree armed robbery and is being held at Hudson County jail on $150,000 bail, police said.

I just connected my standard resolution DTV to a new Sharp 37 inch LCD HDTV. The normal picture clarity offered by DTV, especially background detail, is not really that good on a standard definition TV but that situation is exasperated on the big screen LCD. The picture clarity is horrible!
I have tried several viewing modes and didn't find any to be satisfactory. I am currently watching a mode that appears to fit the picture width but crops the top and bottom. What is the best viewing compromise?

Can you change the receiver output? On my HD TiVo I can change what mode the receiver outputs to the TV. You might have it set to output 1080i or 720p when you are watching 480i programming. See if that gets you what you need. The SD on D* once you start watching HD is almost unwatchable, though.

Also reduce the brightness, contrast and sharpness settings. These are factory set way too high and can exacerbate PQ.

The problem with using any larger HD TV with a SD feed is that so much more detail is shown. D* and pretty much all providers optimize their picture for a 27inch SD TV. Any TV bigger then that shows a lot of issues. I have tried D*, E* and comcast and none of them is much better then any of the others. As more people get HD TV's that are bigger I believe that the providers will have to improve the quality.

I recently upgraded from a 27" to a 36" and really started to notice a PQ issue, especially on my local channels. Channels from the 101 satellite are still pretty good, but my locals from 119 are quite poor, especially with rapid motion (like sports every weekend). I'm hoping the situation will improve with the new satellites removing some of the need for compression.

Central New York Pride events celebrating lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people were going on today downtown.
The day began with the raising of the rainbow flag at 10 a.m.at Syracuse's City Hall.
A parade started at City Hall at 11:30 a.m. and ended at the Everson Museum plaza, where there a festival is running through 5:30 p.m.
The festival includes entertainment, food, merchandise vendors and a family area.
Syracuse Common Council President Bethaida "Bea" Gonzalez was grand marshal and led the CNY Pride parade in the morning, then watched her duck come in "not last" in the annual Duck Race to End Racism at the Inner Harbor.
"Today is a day of tolerance," she said.
"It was exciting to be out and stand as an ally with the gay community and to celebrate gay pride day. For me, it's a civil rights issue."

America Ferrera and Lindsay Lohan clashed so much on the set of "Ugly Betty" that Lohan's role as Betty's high school tormentor got chopped from six episodes to four, the New York Post's Page Six reports.
An "Ugly Betty" source blames Lohan, saying she wouldn't deign to mount the stage until America was already on set, and that Lohan smoked constantly. One script called from Lohan to pull down Ferrera's pants, but Ferrera turned the tables and pulled down Lohan's pants, only to discover she wasn't wearing underwear, according to the source.
But a Lohan pal defended her friend: "Lindsay wears underwear all the time now." (It's so sad -- and yet so funny -- that she needs to clarify this point.) "She was wearing a G-string. And it was America's fault. They were rehearsing the scene and America wasn't supposed to pull Lindsay's pants down -- but she did. Lindsay was so embarrassed she started crying."

The Night Moved On
i went to a bar
to have a rest again
i saw him then
a smiling old man
came rushing in
he sat down close to me
and soon i could see
he's older than it seemes to me
and the night moved on and i got no sleep
his furrowed face
told a story of life
his restless eyes
kept his face alive
his face alive
his tanned skin did not tell of his age
i could see
he's older than it seemed to me
he left the bar
then he spoke to me
and i was captured
'cause now i could see
his way of life
he said little girl you'd better
do what you want
your life is too short to waste time

Anna Little really is.
Little, I mean.
She stands 4 feet-11 and one-half inches tall, she proudly informed me yesterday.
But her apparent win in the 6th Congressional District Republican primary signals a big change in the New Jersey GOP.
The conservative mayor of the small Monmouth County town of Highlands had no party support and just a tiny amount of money in her race against Rumson gazillionaire Diane Gooch. But as she was standing in the Statehouse halls yesterday waiting to testify at a Senate hearing, Little got a call informing her that the latest results have her leading Gooch by an 84-vote margin in the election held a week ago.
Gooch is said to be seeking a recount. Bad move. Such a stunt would mark her as the sorest of sore losers. Recounts are usually reserved for general elections, when they can only advance the interests of the political party in question. A recount request in a primary would divide the party and delay the onset of the campaign against the author of "Pallonecare."
That would be U.S. Rep. Frank Pallone, a Democrat who was a primary sponsor of the national health care bill recently signed into law by the president.
"Everybody is calling it Obamacare, but we're calling it Pallonecare," said Little, who said she intends to campaign on the issue this fall.
Pallone is unlikely to object. He boasts of his role in crafting the plan. All indications are that he expects to ride it to re-election to what has been a safe Democratic seat for years.
This year isn't like the others, though. We saw that a week ago in those GOP congressional primaries. Several GOP incumbents were forced to do what had previously been unthinkable — campaign. Tea party activists caused trouble for incumbents Chris Smith and Leonard Lance. Both ran afoul of the right wing by voting for that other Obama initiative that so irks conservatives, cap and trade.
Both survived, but with a scare. New Jersey Republicans turned out to be much further right than the mainstream party leaders had expected.
In Little's case, the tea partiers and other activists provided her with volunteer labor to do the door-to-door work that neutralized Gooch's big funding advantage. Many from that same crowd were in the halls with Little yesterday outside that hearing. They had gathered to protest a Democrat-sponsored resolution on Obamacare — or Pallonecare or whatever. The measure would call on Gov. Chris Christie not to join other states in that lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of the mandatory health insurance.
The measure is unnecessary at the moment. Last winter, Christie appointed a liberal Democrat as his attorney general. When Paula Dow files briefs in such suits, they tend to be on the liberal side. Christie was on the liberal side of this race as well. He joined other party leaders in supporting the moderate Gooch over Little.
Meanwhile, the Guv's old nemesis, former Bogota mayor Steve Lonegan, was Little's biggest backer. Lonegan was also at that hearing yesterday, and afterward he made it clear he still considers the man who beat him in last year's gubernatorial primary to be ideologically suspect. He ran down a list of liberal positions the governor espouses, from the state's participation in a regional greenhouse-gas program to his support for $500 million in bonding for court-ordered school construction.
"What policy does he have that's not liberal?" Lonegan asked me.
Well, there was that recent "Robbinsville rant,"(video below) in which Christie went into a tirade about the state Supreme Court's role in raising property taxes.
A little over a year ago, Christie was criticizing Lonegan for his attacks on the activist court. Now he's starting to sound like Steve. And the more he does, the more popular he becomes.
Christie seems to have discovered what Little already knew: All the energy is on the right these days.
"This is the first time I've seen such an involved constituency and it has given me great enthusiasm," said Little. "The people are awake and I don't think they are going back to sleep."
Who knows? Maybe even the party leaders will wake up.
If they do, they'll tell Gooch that recounts are for losers.

Last season, the University of Massachusetts offensive line was in a state of constant flux. Earlier this preseason, I compared the weekly mixing and matching of bodies to that of someone playing a slot machine and getting a new combination every pull.
In 2013, UMass coach Charley Molnar and his staff will need much more consistency out of the team's big uglies if the Minutemen want to improve on their one win from a year ago.
Coming into camp, only senior tackle Anthony Dima and sophomore center Matt Sparks had jobs locked up. With a little over a week left before the season opener at Wisconsin, there are still some kinks to be worked out, but it appears those two will be joined by senior Vincent Westcarr and freshman Tyrell Smith at guard and either senior David Osei or freshman Tyshon Henderson at right tackle. Freshman Fabian Hoeller also stands to see time if anyone goes down with an injury.

Orchard Park, N.Y. — Buffalo Bills head coach Doug Marrone and general manager Doug Whaley now have all of the information they need to make decisions on the final 53-man roster.
The Bills spent more time in training camp than any NFL team and have an extra preseason game to evaluate when it comes time to make final cuts. Here's our best guess at which players will make the final roster. Of course, the Bills won't be finished when they make cuts. Other teams are making cuts, too, so more moves will be made in Buffalo.
NFL teams have until Saturday to trim the roster to 53 players.
Quarterback (3)
EJ Manuel
Jordan Palmer
*Someone not on the roster*
Cuts: Jeff Tuel
Marrone still isn't satisfied with his backup quarterback play, and with a series of cuts coming from around the NFL, there could be some options available that will allow the Bills to upgrade that spot.
Running back (4)
C.J. Spiller
Fred Jackson
Anthony Dixon
Bryce Brown
Cuts: None
The running back position is set in stone for the Bills.
Fullback (1)
Frank Summers
Cuts: Evan Rodriguez
Evan Rodriguez would be a strong candidate for the Bills' practice squad. Right now, there's not room for him to make the 53-man roster.
Wide receiver (6)
Sammy Watkins
Mike Williams
Robert Woods
Chris Hogan
Marquise Goodwin
Marcus Easley
Cuts: T.J. Graham, Caleb Holley, Naaman Roosevelt
T.J. Graham has been fighting for his roster spot throughout training camp, but Marcus Easley seems to have a slight edge on him. Graham obviously has speed, but Easley is the better wide receiver. The Bills have other speed guys.
Tight end (3)
Scott Chandler
Lee Smith
Chris Gragg
Cuts: Tony Moeaki, Dominique Jones
Tony Moeaki has been injured throughout the preseason, so it's tough to predict him to make the final roster.
Offensive line (8)
Cordy Glenn
Chris Williams
Eric Wood
Erik Pears
Seantrel Henderson
Kraig Urbik
Cyril Richardson
Cyrus Kouandjio
Cuts: Doug Legursky, Chris Hairston, Antoine McClain, Jared Wheeler
At this point, Kraig Urbik vs. Doug Legursky is the battle to watch. Neither has been great this preseason, but Legursky has struggled when given opportunities to play with the starters.
Defensive end (4)
Mario Williams
Jerry Hughes
Manny Lawson
Jarius Wynn
Cuts: Jacquies Smith, Ike Igbinosun, Bryan Johnson
The Bills have plenty of talent at defensive end. Mario Williams, Jerry Hughes and Manny Lawson are locks for the roster, and Jairus Wynn's versatility makes him a solid bet as well.
Defensive tackle (5)
Kyle Williams
Marcell Dareus
Stefan Charles
Corbin Bryant
Landon Cohen
Cuts: None
The Buffalo Bills have already cut Damien Jacobs, so they could be done trimming down the defensive tackle depth chart.
Linebacker (6)
Brandon Spikes
Keith Rivers
Preston Brown
Ty Powell
Randell Johnson
Jimmy Gaines
Cuts: Xavius Boyd
Randell Johnson was unable to play in the final preseason game because of injury, but he's shown enough to make the roster.
Cornerback (6)
Stephon Gilmore
Leodis McKelvin
Corey Graham
Nickell Robey
Ron Brooks
Ross Cockrell
Cuts: Mario Butler, Bobby Felder, Kamaal McIlwain, Sam Miller
Injuries got the best of Mario Butler and Bobby Felder this preseason, so it's tough to justify keeping either on the roster at this point.
Safety (4)
Aaron Williams
Da'Norris Searcy
Duke Williams
Jonathan Meeks
Cuts: Kenny Ladler, Deon Broomfield, Jajuan Harley, Derek Brim
There will be some interesting decisions made here. Jonathan Meeks has been injured, but he has the talent to warrant a roster spot. Kenny Ladler has played well, but he may be limited to the practice squad for this season.
Specialists (3)
Dan Carpenter
Brian Moorman
Garrison Sanborn
Cuts: Jordan Gay
Can the Bills find a better punter than Brian Moorman? Is there a kickoff specialist worth rostering? We'll find that out in the next week.
Reserves (3)
LB Kiko Alonso (Reserve/Injured)
LB Nigel Bradham (Reserve/Suspended)
LB Stevenson Sylvester (Reserve/Injured)

Robert Bailey was somber this afternoon after testimony ended in the federal criminal restitution hearing for Capitol View Commerce Center developer David R. Dodd II.
Bailey co-owns H&R Mechanical Inc., one of the contractors that claim Dodd owes them millions for work on the unfinished building at Cameron and Herr streets in Harrisburg.
On the first day of the four-day hearing, Bailey testified that Dodd owes his Middletown firm more than $1.2 million on the government-financed project that went belly-up 4½ years ago.
He then sat through the entire proceeding before U.S. Middle District Senior Judge Sylvia H. Rambo. At the end, he said he's not optimistic about ever being paid.
"This man has hurt a lot of companies, a lot of people," Bailey said. "The mental anguish over this is indescribable."
Rambo will determine how much restitution Dodd must pay and who will receive it.
She'll also sentence Dodd on his guilty pleas to felony counts of money laundering and misappropriation of federal funds tied to Capitol View that carry a penalty of up to 30 years in prison.
Dodd, 44, of Hampden Township, pleaded guilty nearly a year ago. Rambo could sentence him late this year or early in 2013. Dodd already has forfeited more than $1 million in assets seized by federal authorities.
Dodd spent most of Monday and half of Tuesday being questioned by his lawyer, Jordan Cunningham, and Assistant U.S. Attorney William Behe.
Bailey called Dodd's testimony a series of self-serving lies.
Behe asserted that Capitol View, which imploded when unpaid contractors marched off the job and filed more than $4 million in liens in the spring of 2008, died from "overall mismanagement."
A printing company owner, Dodd did construction management for the $28 million project, a task for which he wasn't qualified, Behe said.
He cited a November 2006 letter former Harrisburg Mayor Stephen R. Reed sent Dodd voicing concerns about Dodd overseeing the construction. "I can advise that not having a construction manager on a project of this size and complexity would not be wise," Reed wrote.
By then, Dodd had more than $17 million in public financing commitments from the state, the city and Dauphin County, $8 million of which was spent by the time work stopped.
Dodd testified that he had hired several experts to help oversee Capitol View. He said they included Daniel Lispi, who had been Reed's assistant of special projects, including the failed incinerator refit that spawned the city's $340 million debt crisis.
Dodd insisted that all public money he received was spent on legitimate work on Capitol View.
The city and county payouts were based on invoices he submitted from contractors, who Dodd admitted weren't paid with the money he received. He said he withheld payments because of problems with the contractors' paperwork, including lack of certificates to show they were using only U.S.-made steel.
Money received based on the contractor invoices was instead used to pay for other work, he said.
Dodd said his government funding agreements allowed him to do that, and he was even advised by government officials to withhold payments to contractors that didn't supply required documentation. Other prosecution witnesses testified earlier that Dodd was told no such thing.
When Behe asked why he didn't get bonding to ensure Capitol View's contractors would be paid in the event of a default, Dodd replied that "there was no bonding required" under the terms of his public funding.
Dodd said that when work on Capitol View halted he had $100,000 in the bank and $600,000 on a line of credit with Commerce Bank. He said he doesn't now have the money to pay Capitol View's debts.
"Where is that money?" Behe asked.
"We expended those dollars on other eligible construction expenses," Dodd said.
He said he never exhausted his credit with Commerce Bank, a predecessor of Metro Bank, because it was cut off when Capitol View failed.
Behe also asked Dodd about a case where he submitted one contractor's invoice to three government funding agencies and was overpaid $400,000.
"We did make an error," Dodd said. "I take responsibility. I submitted the wrong paperwork."
The overpayment was used for legitimate work on Capitol View, he said. He said he didn't realize the error until the federal criminal probe began.

Here's some of what's happening this morning in entertainment headlines: Public Enemy member Flavor Flav was cited for possessing illegal fireworks at his Las Vegas home; and more.
Acting out: The purpose of a promotional tour is to create a positive buzz about new projects, but during a recent CNN interview with Fredricka Whitfield, comedienne Joan Rivers gets defensive and exits the studio.
Flavor Flav was cited for possessing illegal fireworks at his Las Vegas home. The Public Enemy member has held an annual 4th of July party at his home since 2009, much to the chagrin of his neighbors. This year, police confiscated more than 100 pounds of fireworks shortly after the display began, and issued two citations.
During a concert over the holiday weekend, country singer Billy Ray Cyrus presented a memorial plaque to Sharon Landsberry, the widow of math teacher Michael Landsberry, an ex-Marine who was the victim of a school shooting on Oct. 21 in Incline Village, a suburb of Reno. Cyrus also dedicated the song 'Some Gave All' to Landsberry, not only for his role in protecting students, but for three tours of duty he served in Afgahnistan.
Never say never: Pink Floyd will release its first collection of new music in 20 years.
Columbus Short was arrested for public intoxication in Dallas over the holiday weekend. This is the second arrest this year for the former cast member of the hit ABC drama 'Scandal.' Back in April, he was charged with a felony for allegedly injuring a man in a California restaurant. It was recently announced that Short will not return for the show's fourth season.

The Hornets evaluated draft prospects for the third consecutive day, putting six players through a three-on-three scrimmage and agility drills at the New Orleans Arena.
Western Kentucky shooting guard Courtney Lee, Washington State shooting guard Kyle Weaver, Massachusetts small forward Gary Forbes, Mississippi State's combo guard Jamont Gordon, Louisville power forward/center David Padgett and Boston College center Tyrelle Blair participated Thursday.
The Hornets have the 27th pick in the first round of the June 26 draft and they are interested in selecting a shooting guard, point guard or power forward/center.
"I thought this was the best group of guys that we've had in here, they all had a little something,'' Coach Byron Scott. "Courtney really shoots the ball well and moves extremely well. You can tell that he's been well schooled. Jamont's extremely athletic and extremely strong. Kyle is a heck of defender and shoots the ball the better.''

I am always glad to see these words. I like them so much more than "Thanks in advance"--the standard closing of bill collectors and which has been adopted by too many people who ask for something and then thank the reader in advance for doing it. Thanks in advance is presumptious; thank you for your patience is not, although it often lands in a similiar position at the close of a piece of communication, whether e-mail or hard copy.
I read the words this morning from my banker who was attempting to resolve a bank discrepancy that he had already admitted was the bank's fault. I didn't care whose fault it was as long as my account was credited with the money that had gone missing.
Having promised to fix the first attempt at fixing the problem that hadn't fixed it, my banker concluded with: Thank you for your patience.
I thought it was exactly the right moment to use those words because I had waited for him to work out the solution and to implement it--a few business days.
But knowing when to be patient is not always as simple as that. When I first learned of this problem, my friend Sue offered me two words that she said worked best at encouraging others to solve your problem: "Squeaky wheel," said Sue.
I agree with her, but I also think there's a timing involved in being an effective squeaky wheel--a balance that allows for being patient, too.
I squeaked, and I waited.
The process reminded me of that brief flash of a parable in the book of Luke where Jesus shows us a fig tree that is not bearing fruit fast enough. Tempted to cut it down, the story says, "Let's be patient. Poke the soil. Give it time." Eugene Peterson interprets that story in a context that teaches people with problems to solve how to be patient, for that is what the story is saying, says Peterson in his version of the Bible The Message. There's time to weed and uproot and a time to poke the soil, maybe add some fertilizer, and then wait for progress to happen.
I lean that way more often than not. While it is tempting to squeak loudly (and I saw this done recently at Walmart when a woman was denied a refund for a product that didn't work, and she stood her ground and said, "You expect me to swallow a hundred dollars for a piece of junk!"--the tactic worked; she got her money) but, in general, I'm not comfortable squeaking loudly in public or on the page or screen.
Instead, I try to use facts to present my case; and having presented it, I wait. And present it again--and wait until some inner buzzer declares: Long enough.
Then, I squeak some more, but so often I don't have to do that. So often, the facts and patient waiting bear the fruit of resolving a problem and I haven't gotten upset or upset anyone else.
Gratitude all around follows instead. Thank you for your patience.
The next time you have a problem to solve or a complaint to register, spend your energy on the polite presentation of facts that represent your cause first. Then, watch the solution grow--along with your patience.

I think using "Thank you for your patience" is a great way to end a e-mail. It is courteous and it tells the reader of the e-mail that the writer thinks his or her time is important and they are grateful for it.That ending should be used in any kind of communication letter because it is a greatway of thanking someone indirectly.ReplyDelete

By Gurjot Kaur
After the 1963 bombing of the Sixteenth Street Baptist Church in Birmingham, Ala., where four little African-American girls cruelly met their deaths, American civil rights activist Charles Morgan Jr. said in a statement that shocked the world: "A mad, remorseful worried community asks, 'Who did it? Who threw that bomb? Was it a Negro or a white?' The answer should be, 'We all did it.' "
The past couple of weeks have exposed the ugly realities of American racism. An unarmed black teen, Michael Brown, was shot multiple times and killed by a police officer, Darren Wilson. In response to a wave of protests that yet another black youth was shot and killed by an officer, the St. Louis County Police employed paramilitary measures against the crowds, unleashing tear gas and rubber bullets. They arrested journalists for doing their job; they shot rubber bullets at an al Jazeera camera crew.
Quickly, we began to notice that the images from that night were eerily similar to the 1960s' civil rights protests and wondered if anything had changed in the past 50 years. Tensions between citizenry and police continue to run high. Over the past weekend, police again used strong-arm tactics against protestors demanding justice for Brown.
Meanwhile, in a post-9/11 New York City, Americans continue to target each other in hate crimes. In Queens, Sandeep Singh was nearly killed after a male in a pickup truck ran him over and dragged his body 30 feet. This was after he called him a "terrorist" and told him to "go back to his country." Singh is Sikh, wears a turban and maintains an unshorn beard as part of the fifth-largest religion in the world.
Another turbaned Sikh man, Jaspreet Batra, was assaulted by youths in Roosevelt Island, called "Osama bin Laden," and also told to "go back to his country." His mother, who was visiting, was verbally assaulted while she witnessed the attack on her son.
In late July, anti-Muslim leaflets were distributed in apartment buildings in Brooklyn with the message, "Islamists. Go back to your country. USA hates you. You are terrorists. ... You are the second Holocaust."
Would Wilson, the Ferguson, Mo., officer who allegedly had no disciplinary record, have shot and kept shooting an unarmed white teenager? Would he have valued Brown's life more if he were white and considered alternatives to using deadly force? Would the St. Louis County Police have reacted with such aggression toward mostly white protesters? Would Singh's attacker have run him over if he didn't have apparent animus towards brown men with turbans and beards?
The rest of us didn't pull the trigger or hit the gas on the truck, but did the rest of us do enough to stand up against racism and bias on a daily basis? Do you stand up for the gay acquaintance who is frequently called a homosexual epithet behind his back, the Muslim colleague who is called a "terrorist" by co-workers and then is made to work in the back because of her hijab, or the black man who keeps getting stopped and hassled by the police even though he has done nothing unlawful? Our collective silence perpetuates harmful prejudices, which lead to violence.
Did we do enough to change the fact that police forces across the country do not at all resemble the population they police? Why are there so few officers of color in Ferguson, in a town where 70 percent of the population is black?
We cannot allow this discrimination to continue.
In New York, we cannot allow the NYPD to continue to deny turbaned and bearded Sikhs the right to serve as police officers. Our communities cannot build trust and positive relations with the police if the very institutions that are supposed to protect us actually discriminate against us. This discrimination and lack of representation, both in the NYPD and in St. Louis County, trickle down and reinforce individual racist beliefs that can lead to the horrific violence and tension we have seen in recent weeks.
As Prabhjot Singh, a Columbia University professor who was attacked in a hate crime, publicly said, "This is not a Sikh problem. This is a human problem, a New York City problem and an American problem about how we take responsibility for each other."
Racism itself is not a people of color problem. Homophobia is not an LGBT problem. Islamophobia is not a Muslim problem, and Ferguson is certainly not a Missouri problem.
These are American problems. If we want to end prejudice and prevent another Ferguson, then we all need to start by recognizing that prevention begins within each of us.
Gurjot Kaur is a civil rights attorney at the Sikh Coalition in New York and represents Sikh hate crime victims, Sandeep Singh and Jaspreet Batra.

Tips For Pricing Yard Sale Items
If you want to be smiling at the end of your yard sale and feel good that you've sold most of your items, then price everything very low! I'm not kidding.

Last week, I was at a friend's house for dinner and he showed me a couple of large onions he had been given by a friend, who was a reader and has a summer cottage and garden down the Salmonier line.
Naturally, because of my long experience growing large onions, I was interested. One weighed around 3.5-4 lbs and the other about two lbs. He contacted his friend by phone and, as I suspected, they were Kelsae onions.
I have grown Kelsae here to a maximum of 4-5 lbs. I explained that in 1992, I had visited Mayfield Nursery, the original nursery in Kelso, Scotlan, who had developed this variety, and learned their growing methods. Kelsae started at 4 lbs 15 oz in 1975 and during my visit in 1992 I held the then world record 11 lbs 2 oz. prize in my hands. It was grown by Mr. R Holland.
The reader had the ideal site, an open, sunny garden, yet sheltered from severe winds. He had built up a good soil with plenty of manure over the years to today's depth of 16 inches (30.5 cm). He bought his plants from Glendale Nursery in Mount Pearl and used 6-12-12 fertilizer and plenty of watering. He had done all the right things and was well rewarded for his efforts. Well done.
These, as I said last week, are the first of the spring bulbs together with the snowdrops. They are members of the Iradaceae family and have a large number of branches; they were found in various parts of the world, as we shall see.
In general, the spring flowering crocuses are always a delight to see formally along the edge of paths, in the rockery, or even in a pot, but surely, the finest sight is the large areas of naturalized crocuses, peeping out through the grass in lawns and under trees. There are many old established gardens in Newfoundland with naturalized crocuses.
For lawns and naturalizing, it is best to use early flowering varieties, so they will have a chance to mature and die back before the grass requires cutting. The alternative, in the stages of naturalizing, is to try and cut around the clumps.
Today's crocuses may be found in pure white, yellow, purple or blue colours and some have striped combinations of these three shades of colour. Dutch hybrids are, today, probably the most widely grown, and many are large flowering and listed separately from the species.
Planting. Any well drained site, in full sun or partial shade, will suffice. Plant the corms 2-3 inches (5-7.5 cm) deep and 2-4 inches (5-10 cm) apart. A bit of the usual bonemeal or slow release Bulb Booster fertilizer under the bulbs, but not in contact with the bulbs, will help them get started in their new home.
Crocuses have contractile roots that permit them to adjust themselves to the correct depth.
In beds and borders, it may be necessary to lift and split the clumps every four years, as the new tiny cormlets are produced around the base of the old corms and new corms are developed on the top of the old corms.
Do this after the flowers and foliage have died down. The blues, purples and striped varieties tend to multiply faster than the yellows. In some species, the yellows only multiply by corms, while in others multiply by seed. Mice love to eat crocus bulbs, and some losses may be attributed to these rodents that appear to have a keen nose for finding crocus corms.

Severe thunderstorms swept through Perry County from April 26 to April 28, leaving behind flooded roads and other damage.
The New Bloomfield area did not receive much in the way of water damage, but the storm made itself felt in other ways.
"There weren't any flooded basements, but there were a bunch of trees down ... one fell on a car, and one tree fell over on a pavilion on East Main Street," said fire chief Mitch Robb of New Bloomfield Volunteer Fire Company.
The damage was minor, and Robb said that only four to five trees were reported fallen at High, Main and North Carlisle streets.
Robb said most of the damage that affected New Bloomfield borough occurred on Tuesday evening.
At the west end of the county in Blain, an area purported to receive the brunt of the storm, there was hardly any damage at all, said Nathan Book, a volunteer firefighter.
"People think that we were affected more by the storm than what we really were," Book said.
Book said a tree was blown at Centre Presbyterian Church, Loysville.
"Most of the areas in Honey Grove and East Waterford received that damage, we didn't," said Book.
Areas in Ickesburg, New Bloomfield, Blain and Newport were placed under flood watches after the storms. Perry County was under a tornado watch Thursday evening.

text: What if Jesus had been born Female: A Christmas Fable Posted on Dec 16, 2013 Dec. 16, 2013 I first dreamed this up maybe thirty years ago, and the Courier published it many times over the years at Christmas. The last time they published it, however, it drew sharp criticism, even a couple of threats and I've hesitated to submit it again. I'm sure some readers considered it part of the "War on Christmas" and they objected, vociferously. Still, it's worth pondering: What if Jesus had been more female? ************************** Every December Christians repeat the same story, and even non-Christians have to admit it's a great plot. It pits the meek against the mighty, poor against the rich, the outcasts against the insiders. It's complete with a joyous ending, not to mention the founding of a world religion. It's so powerful that no one thinks twice about recycling it every year. The same ought to go for alternative versions, such as the following recycled Christmas fable, which I wrote years ago, freely adapted from the gospels of Matthew and Luke. Behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream, saying, "Joseph, son of David, do not fear to take unto thee Mary thy wife, for this which is conceived in her is of the holy spirit. She will bear a son or daughter and you shall call his or her name Jesus or Jesse, for he or she will save his or her people from their sins." While Joseph and Mary were in Bethlehem, the time came for her to be delivered. Lo and behold, Mary gave birth to their first-born daughter and wrapped her in swaddling clothes and laid her in a manger, because there was no place for them in the inn. Following the angels' suggestion, she named her child Jesse. Now in that region there were shepherds out in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And an angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone all about them. They were sore from riding camels all day but now they were also sore afraid. And the angel said to them, "Be not afraid; for behold, I bring you good news of great joy which will come to all the people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Jesse the Queen. "And this will be a sign for you: you will find a babe wrapped in swaddling clothes and lying in a manger." When the angels went away from them into heaven the shepherds said to one another, "A little GIRL, our savior? Can this be true?" "A female savior? A lady Lord? Women can BIRTH saviors, but they cannot BE one. Everyone knows that!" And they went with haste, and found Mary and Joseph. They looked with wonder on the babe lying in the manger. And they made known that which had been told them concerning this child; all who heard it wondered at what the shepherds told them. But the shepherds were no longer sore afraid. Now they were just plain sore. "What happened to the good old days," they grumbled, "when only BOYS could be saviors? Has anyone ever heard of a little girl becoming anything but a wife, an old maid, or a witch?" The shepherds grew discouraged and went home, thinking the real savior had not yet been born. "Probably some maverick angels," one of them said, "Or maybe that frankincense is getting old." Along the way, they met three wise men who had also heard the news. The shepherds stopped the wise men, saying "Turn back. Save your frankincense and myrrh. Wait until the real savior comes along. This one's only a baby girl named Jesse." And Mary, mother of Jesse, kept all these things, pondering them in her heart. "What if little Jesse had been born a boy?" she wondered, after she and Joseph had returned home. Would he have been worshiped as a real savior?" Mary prayed nightly that if her daughter Jesse had any special powers she would keep them to herself. Little boys with special powers, she knew, often became saviors, founders of great religions. Little girls with special powers were usually burned as witches. Baby Jesse grew nto a wonderful woman, a friend to all in need, and wise beyond all men. Thanks to her mother's teaching, she never used her miraculous powers, and never married. Jesse lived and died in obscurity, beyond of her small circle of friends. Meanwhile, all around the world, wise men kept waiting for the real savior. Merry Christmas, everyone. Go comment!

Pictureshack paid for Ole Ugland to fly over from Norway to be interviewed for the program. Those of you who remember Ole might enjoy watching it for that reason. They asked to interview me, but the day they suggested was 1 week after I had my knee replaced and I wasn't ready to negotiate New York City. If I had known that they would be so inflexible about rescheduling, I would have figured out how to travel in a wheelchair. I'm guessing that they did interview Margaret. Jerry, of course, was not interviewed - the prison staff would not approve that. Ole took the train up to visit my husband and me while he was in the States. He's doing well, enjoying retirement. He and Laila have left the farm and moved into Kristiansand. He is deeply involved in writing a history of the part of Norway that he grew up in. It was a real delight to see him again. We are hoping that the program at least gives Jerry a fair shake. For one reason and another, the lawyer who collected the evidence that exonerates Jerry couldn't be interviewed at Pictureshack's convenience. We did send them all the exonerating information and hope that it got included in the script. The producers kept telling me that their intention was to present both sides equally and let the viewer decide. So all of you who choose to watch the show will get to decide. Jerry and I have been corresponding ever since Ole came back for our CF High 45th reunion. He is still trying to get the State of Iowa to conduct the DNA tests that would prove his innocence. It keeps getting delayed. Other than that, he seems to have become a wise elder in the prison. Many of the younger men there turn to him for support. Eating Moose Tracks ice cream and listening to music on an MP3 are Jerry's pleasures. If, after seeing the program, any of you would like to write him, I'm sure he'd be glad to hear from you. 6-19-13 An Open Reply to Sigrin Thorson Newell Dear Sigrin: I read your letter to the class of 1960 closely, and as of today I have seen the Investigation: Discovery Channel's "Children of the Corn" created by Picture Shack Entertainment, three times with various friends. Because the "Investigation: Discovery" episode is nonfiction and includes several people who were deeply involved with investigating and chronicling the murders, it seems a good time to discuss your points. You and Ole Ugland are Jerry's main defenders, I believe. As I understand your letter, your underlying assertion/assumption seems to be that Jerry is innocent, and the Picture Shack producers did not go out of their way to interview you or his lawyer about exonerating evidence. If they had, the world might have learned the truth about the case—that is, Jerry's innocence—according to your letter. Even without your direct involvement, you seem to believe that "both sides" would be shown and viewers could decide for themselves from the information presented in the episode. That is, Jerry would get a "fair shake" from the episode. Sigrin, Jerry got a "fair shake," in 1976 at his trial, and over and over at his many subsequent appeals. Jerry's lawyers were two of the best legal minds in Iowa—Lawrence Scalise and John Sandre, and he himself is a lawyer, as you know. If the jury found him guilty in spite of all those well qualified and well informed lawyers, and since continued appeals before several judges continued to affirm that guilt, how much more of a "fair shake" is possible? I honestly don't know how the system could be any more fair. Forgive the presumption, but I believe you remain unable to accept Jerry's guilt because you remember him as he was in high school—and as you continue to experience in your correspondence with him in prison. Intelligent, concerned, articulate, and fully convincing. Yet as Gordon Walter put it so well at the end of the episode, "the Jerry Mark that I knew in high school could not have committed those murders. The Jerry Mark that committed those murders was someone I did not know." Just so. All of us were shocked at Jerry's being accused and convicted, but those of us who read the trial transcripts, talked to others who knew him at the time, read the newspaper accounts of the trial, and (in my case) interviewed people who knew the case intimately—including Jerry himself, his mother Dorothy, the Colthursts, and so on--have come to reluctantly and sadly accept that Jerry indeed is guilty. Remember: --Jerry lied constantly about his whereabouts, the gun, the cartridges, the motorcycle, and he lied directly to me when I interviewed him, insisting that his lawyer wouldn't let him take the stand in his own defense. In fact, Scalise told me the next day that he warned Jerry that he would be convicted unless he took the stand, and he refused. -Jerry has never come up with a plausible story that explains all his lies. All I heard from him were anecdotes about a young woman he picked up, and felt forced to lie to Mimi about his whereabouts, that he bought those rare .38 Long Colt cartridges to "get in" with Berkeley radicals for an essay he wanted to write, etc. Yet no one has ever come forth to corroborate any of those anecdotes. --Jerry's only case has been "exonerating" evidence—DNA, and no one takes that seriously because the existence or non-existence of DNA does not refute his constant lying and lack of any real explanation for why he lied. His first defense should have been telling the truth about his trip, the phone calls, the cartridges, and so on. He has never done that. Therefore, a reasonable person must conclude, that our former classmate and friend remains guilty as charged.

New Dating Site Caters To LGBTs Looking For Soul Mates Not Hookups
Head east down Santa Monica, and as you drive through West Hollywood, you will see the gayest billboard ever. Standing proud above Palm Car Wash is a gigantic photo of two men kissing and the words, "First Comes Love, Then Comes Marriage." It's part of the ad campaign for OneGoodLove, the only dating website for gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender singles seeking marriage or long-term relationships, which launches at a rather opportune time.
Since the landmark defeats of the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) and Proposition 8, the LGBT community has taken to their new marriage rights like no ones' business. A recent survey of LGBT individuals indicates that 76 percent of all gay and lesbian singles now see marriage in their future, with 58 percent identifying marriage as their ultimate dating goal. In fact, the LGBT community has surged ahead their straight counterparts, with only 61 percent of straight singles harboring any sort of intent of getting married.
Furthermore, the marriage equality rulings have affected more than just the LGBT community. While 41 percent of gay and lesbian respondents report that their families already see same-sex relationships as a positive thing, more than a third stated that the recent cultural shifts and gains in marriage equality would help their parents see their personal same-sex relationships in a more positive light.
Thus, with marriage on the mind, OneGoodLove's billboard not only fits in perfectly with the relationship goals emerging in the LGBT community, but also presents the gayest version of love—not "gay" in the pejorative sense, but gay as in the traditional sense—gay as in happy, gay as in joyful, and gay as in fully accepting. It suggests that in this new era of marriage equality, love is the defining factor in marriage, and with it, any couple is free to say, "I do."
Other companies have said that's what they were after, too. What happens? Too many of their *users* decide to go for just hookups, making it harder on those who really are after developing a relationship.
I am gonna register and wear a "love can wait" purity bracelet…no hook-ups nor any sexual activity or impure thought until after the wedding
From their website, in big letters at the top:
"Find Long Term Relationships"
"Made for the LGBT community, by the LGBT community."
Then, underneath:
"Zip codes in the US only"
The website is for USA residents only.
Since when has this so-called "LGBT community" been exclusive to the USA?
I mean, they want to sound all-inclusive but then they restrict it to the USA only.
I don't like the looks of it.
Sign me up! Sign me up!
It won't last long or it will become another venue for hookups
Is it free like OkCupid?
I bet if you went on that site, you'd see the same exact people you see on other sites in your neighborhood, just with different profiles and 'wants'. Please.
Nothing to get excited about here.
@jeff4justice: I'm sure it's free to join, but it'll cost you to contact someone or reply to them, like every other dating website.
According to the site there is a free three day trial. The sites that become hookup-focused tend to be the free ones; once people have to get out a credit card to sign up it weeds out a lot of people who aren't very serious.
@jeff4justice: That's the only such site I've ever signed up for. I set the distance thing to something like 50 miles, yet they sent me matches from two states away. The long distance thing when you already know somebody but get separated is one thing, but suggesting it for a first date is absurd.
Please make it a worldwide service, thank you
@darkorient: Hi there! I'm one of the founders of OneGoodLove. International expansion is coming soon. Stay tuned and thank you!
@Joetx: No, OK Cupid is free to exchange messages. There's also apps like Grindr, Scruff, Mister, and Growlr.
@jeff4justice: … OkC also has tests :)
Shuts down in two weeks…..
This is just like the "Purity Ring BS" isn't it???…..
@Nicholas: Hi there,I am from the Philippines and i just made an account here at queerty (to contact you) just now when i read your comment about the international expansion of the new dating site OneGoodLove..I joined couple of gay dating sites as what they called but it turns out to be just to be venue of hook ups in there and nothing serious ..i really seek something serious involving developing relationship and i am really looking forward for the new site you've created..Now i wanna know when its gonna be the international expansion..I am really interested to know and register..i hope its not exclusively in USA because there were lots of gay men here who seek for something serious not just hook ups..

Winston Reid admitted to having mixed feelings about West Ham United's goalless Barclays Premier League draw with Newcastle United.
The No2 ensured the Hammers' kept their eleventh clean sheet of the campaign by making a miraculous goal-line clearance to deny Papiss Cisse after 20 minutes. The defender was adamant the ball did not cross the line, despite some suggestions otherwise from the visiting fans.
At the other end, West Ham's best chances to break the deadlock came after the break, but they could not find a way through a determined Newcastle defence led by returning captain Fabricio Coloccini.
"We have been really strong at home this year, but unfortunately in this game and against Wigan we haven't performed up to our expectations," said the New Zealand captain. "At least we got a point out of it because we weren't good in the first half.
"In the second half, we were a little bit better. At the end of the day, I thought we could have done a bit better, but it was nice to come away with a clean sheet.
"I'm not disappointed with the result because I thought it was a fair result. I was disappointed with our play, but you have to say Newcastle are a good side and they came here in the first half and were better than us. The second half was a lot more even."
When it was suggested Reid had showed a great turn of pace to race back to hook Cisse's goalbound effort away, the 24-year-old feigned offence at a perceived lack of speed.
His smile soon disappeared, however, when the serious subject of whether or not the ball had crossed the line was brought up.
"You make me sound slow! As a defender you are trying to save goals and, fortunately enough, we came off at the end having not conceded any.
"No, it was not in. I am dead honest and I know it wasn't in. My foot was actually on the line and I got the ball away in time, which was good."
For the first time since Reid arrived in east London three years ago, West Ham are finishing a season in a position of relative comfort.
While some footballers may struggle for motivation with their side safely in mid-table, the Auckland-born star insisted that he and his team-mates were taking every game 100 per cent seriously in their bid to finish in the top half of the Barclays Premier League table.
"We still want to do well and finish as high as possible. We want to finish in the top ten - that's been our aim for the whole season, so we'll be disappointed not to finish there when we've got ourselves in a really good position."
Next week, Reid will make his second appearance at Everton - a ground where he suffered last-minute heartache in a 2-2 draw in January 2011, just seconds after being sent on as a substitute.
"Everton is no easy place to go but we've got to try to go up there and get some points.
"These games are about enjoying it, really. We can go out with no pressure and enjoy it and try to finish as high as possible. That's why we work so hard each year - to get out of relegation and look up the table.
"Fortunately enough, we have done that this year and the last couple of games are about enjoying it and developing our football."

One day, the job of head coach of the Penn State football team will be pried from Joe Paterno's hands.
I know it's early to speculate about a coaching change given that this is about 26 years away from happening, but a rash of events over the past few weeks, ranging from the polite to the profane, has given me cause.
Plus, I write about the team and not having an opinion on this is kind of like living in America and not voting – it's lazy. (Thus begins and ends all political commentary that will take place in this forum forever.)
In the Temple game, Paterno was matched up against former Penn Stater Al Golden. As he has shown impressive aptitude in turning around a historically disastrous program and also possesses the required
inbreeding pedigree that many consider to be a prerequisite to run the Penn State team, a lot of fans openly considered the potential for Golden to be JoePa's successor (though many think we could do much better).
This was done in a friendly "Gee whiz, I guess the old guy can't go forever, so I wonder who the next coach will be" kind of way.
After the 24-3 loss against Iowa, the polite "gee whiz" turned into rants full of four-letter words and hard, angry consonants, demanding the immediate termination of the entire Penn State coaching staff, further evidence that liking sports leads to sociopathic behavior.
Then came the homecoming debacle against Illinois, which expedited my personal journey from outright anger to bargaining, depression, and (maybe if I'm lucky) acceptance of the fact that Penn State has some serious issues, as I detailed in my article about the five stages of grief.
As was the case during the disastrous run at the start of this decade, Penn Staters have gone on the offensive, pitching their tents on either side of the Great Paternoville Debate. On one side we have the Homer Apologists, and on the other side, the (Over)Reactionary (Self-Proclaimed) Realists.
The Realists take issue with the notion that Joe has somehow "earned the right" to stay on as head coach as long as he wants to because the program has been in a gradual decline from its historically high standards to which the Homers counter that Joe himself is the one responsible for those high standards and who are we common mortals to judge the record of this lower deity, and so on and so on.
Both sides are kind of right, kind of wrong, and kind of missing the point.
Uninterrupted dominance is an impossible thing to demand, but some consistency in addressing nearly-perpetual issues (inability to develop quarterbacks and offensive linemen for obvious starters) doesn't seem to be too much for the fans who endow the program to ask for.
Look, there's no perfect answer to the question of when and how JoePa's tenure will end. The situation is complicated, and no matter what side you are on, it is likely that you feel just a little confused or queasy about your opinion.
It's like having that conversation with your siblings about who has to step up and tell Dad he shouldn't drive anymore, or who has to convince Mom that it's time to move to a nursing home. Nobody wants to do it, but it needs to be done, and it's probably better to address it head-on before it's too late.
So, after more than 500 words and two references to geriatric care, I'm finally ready to offer my opinions and predictions regarding "The Joe Paterno Situation" (insert your own Jersey Shore spinoff joke here).
Since it's a delicate matter, I'm going to attempt to put forth a more nuanced opinion than the typical Homer/Reactionary debate.
But first, there is a point that is being missed.
Joe Paterno is a football genius. You may have heard this before. His defenders usually present it as Exhibit A in their stack of evidence that the man should coach as long as he wants.
However, whether Joe Paterno knows more about college football than anybody else in the history of the world (he probably does) is not the issue (and for this reason will not be subject matter up for discussion in my arguments). The real issue is, in three parts:
1. Is Paterno able to employ his skills and knowledge in a way that benefits the program as much as possible? And if so,
2. Does he possess the ability to recognize the point where he is unable to benefit the program to his fullest ability? And if so,
3. Does he possess the capacity to remove himself from his role once he believes himself unable to benefit the program to his fullest ability (and, by rational extension, more than anyone else could)?
Your property may contain a literal gold mine, but without the equipment to dig it up, you'll never make a dollar from it.
If we can agree that Joe isn't exactly the master of out-game-planning other coaches (even though I believe it, it still felt kind of sacrilegious to actually write it down), and if he's not actively involved in recruiting, then, um, is he really exercising the powers of his role to the fullest?
I'll answer my three talking points tomorrow. But for now I'll leave these questions to you. Tell me what you think below.

considering the revenues this stock is one big secret.
buyout candidate 1/2 owned by insiders
added this morning
to sell is always price,for every man has one.The problem for an acquirer now is how high as late next year the stock could be a double all by itself
huge insider ownership..every man has a price but if the market acts ok( there is risk for sure) the stock will move up stronger than the 40% takeover avg
There is absolutely no reason why the management of this company would sell it at this time.
I can see a few catalysts in the future:
- next earnings report could be a big jump...
- different scientific meetings ( incl ASCO, Feb 2011 )....
- as usual, always, someone might decided to buy them. They are just starting to be profitable. Best time to buy a junior is a profitable point...
I've small position in CADX and not really sure about their potential upside.
SVNT management is bunch of greedy idiots, but their drug reasonably speaking, if, has at least $550mil annual sales potential, means that company could by sold for at least 3 X sales, i.e. $24 a share. And, eventually it will. So, I'm ready to wait for 100% return.
I also have a large postion in CLDX...
BTW, I've sold today all GHDX - all 14.5k shares, took almost whole day at 14.65.
Good luck!
Gee, I got it wrong? I thought they supposed to get approval with new FDA 510(k) rules for med tests coming on...?
I have a "problem" with SVNT management. Plus, their gout drug has limited market potential.
My "next candidate", and the only really big position is CADX. They got FDA approval for Ofirmev, and are about to lunch marketing action. Ofirmev has huge market potential, will be one of the darlings in 2011-2012...
The sector is not big and very few players, so I don't think it will be bought out...
I'm holding to 20+. After that I'm out,- it could go higher, but after 21 risk/reward looks not that good.
I'm in at 16.4 so, it will be solid return.
My major positions are in CLDX & ONXX (which I believe will be bought out much sooner than GHDX)
It is pleasing, but the rise is a little parabolic. Been here a long time and frankly, confused about whether this is a breakthrough or just a temporary blip caused by some new hot money that has found us. "Hold" is the only strategy.

BIRMINGHAM, Alabama -- Birmingham Music Club's 2013-14 season focuses entirely on Birmingham talent, with diversions to ancient Rome and 1920s Morocco.
It starts Thursday, Sept. 19, with a recital by the father and son duo of Lester and Daniel Seigel. Daniel, a baritone, and Lester, a pianist, made their Carnegie Hall debut at Weill Recital Hall in 2010, and will perform music by Korngold, Gounod, Barber, Howells, Wagner, Vaughan-Williams, Hoiby and others. It takes place in Hill Recital Hall on the Birmingham-Southern College campus, where Lester is the chair of the music department and choir director. Daniel, the 2009 winner of the National Federation of Music Clubs Young Artist Competition, directs the Opera Birmingham Chorus and sings operatic roles in companies around the nation.
In November, the 12-year-old cellist Malik Kofi, who has been garnering press in the Huffington Post, The Grio and other news outlets for his prodigious talent, will perform with members of the Red Mountain Chamber Orchestra. Malik studies with Alabama Symphony cellist Craig Hultgren and Philadelphia Orchestra cellist Udi Bar-David, both of whom sang his praises in the video, "Little Music Manchild: The Malik Kofi Story." Malik is scheduled to perform with Bar-David at the Kennedy Center on Sept. 30 at a Children's Defense Fund benefit honoring former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
BMC director Ron Bourdages will present the premiere of "William and the Senator's Daughter," a piece he co-composed with Samford University graduate student Bradley Harris. Bourdages created the story line.
"William is a dog who gets lost in ancient Rome on the night that Rome burns down," he explained. "A family from Capri goes to Rome to visit and they get separated from the dog, who is taken in by the Senator's daughter. We made it, in some sense, historically accurate. It takes place in July A.D.64, when the fire took place. Nero, the emperor, plays a lyre."
After the scenes play out, the dog is reunited with his family. Bourdages said that he was inspired by Prokofiev's "Peter and the Wolf," which associates animals with instruments of the orchestra. But there's a twist.
"Unlike 'Peter and the Wolf,' it has a happy ending," he said. "William gets reunited with his family."
In April, the operetta "The Desert Song," by Sigmund Rombert and Oscar Hammerstein II, will be performed in a concert version at Virginia Samford Theatre, with area musicians accompanying the singers.
Though not part of the Music Club's season package, children's concerts will be held Wednesday, Oct. 16, at 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. Bourdages will conduct an orchestra of 18 musicians in "Maestro Goes to Motown," which features songs from the golden age of Motown. For information, call 903-5007 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.
Here is the 2013-14 lineup:
Sept. 19, 7:30 p.m. Parlor Concert: Daniel and Lester Seigel, voice and piano duo, with a string quartet, piano and organ. Music by Korngold, Gounod, Barber, more. Hill Recital Hall, Birmingham-Southern College. $15.
Nov. 21, 7 p.m. Malik Kofi, cellist. With members of the Red Mountain Chamber Orchestra. The Clubhouse on Highland, 2908 Highland Ave. $15 (limit 75 people).
Jan. 25, 7 p.m. "William and the Senator's Daughter," premiere of work by Ron Bourdages and Bradley Harris. With Samford University Orchestra, narrated by Patty McDonald. Benefit for orchestra's trip to the Dominican Republic. Brock Recital Hall, Samford University. $20, adult; $10, children.
April 11, 7:30 p.m., and April 13, 2:30 p.m. "The Desert Song," by Sigmund Romberg and Oscar Hammerstein II. Features local singers, actors and musicians. Virginia Samford Theatre, 1116 26th St. South. $20-$25.
Season subscriptions ($50) and individual tickets can be purchased online or by calling 726-2853.

I've had a Sigma 80 in operation for 4 months and love it. It is mounted HORIZONALLY on a rotor at 80' here at my ridgetop location. (You would obviously want it higher in locations with flatter foregrounds.) It performs excellently and with the 3-relay switchbox, I can cover the entire band from 3.5-4.0MHz. Someday I may evolve it into a 2-element array, but so far its the best 80M solution I've ever had.
