Nice S&W model 19
Hi! I'm new here, but been shooting and collecting for (too) many decades. Lurking here for a while, I can see there are some real experts, so I have a question or two.
I recently acquired a S&W model 19-3 chromed 2.5" .357 Magnum revolver. It has a smooth trigger, red ramp front sight and no white outline rear sight. The immaculate walnut grips lack the diamond design found on some. The serial is 6K137xx.
Can someone tell me when this gun was built? I'm thinking 1968-77, but would like to narrow it down.
Though it appears in excellent condition in every other way, I am concerned that when cocked, the gap between the barrel and cylinder is about 0.010 or 0.011". I don't know what spec is, but I do know my Ruger SecuritySix is 0.005. Is this gap a matter of concern?
I paid $580 total including a very nice custom leather holster. It appears to be an average value right now. Am I right?
I would post a photo or two, but can't figure out how to do so on this forum. I hoped the FAQ would explain, but it didn't.

Rather than check the B/C gap with the hammer cocked, you should really check it when the gun is a full lockup. Full lockup means that the trigger is held fully to the rear and the hammer is resting fully forward as it would be when the gun is fired. A good revolver checkout can be found in Jim March's Revolver Checkout thread which is stickied at the top of the revolver forum.
Also, your gun is most likely not chrome plated unless it has been refinished at some point. The two standard finishes for the M19 were blue and nickel and I suspect that you're mistaking nickel for chrome. Finally, stay away from full-power .357 Magnum ammo with bullets lighter than 140gr in your revolver. K-Frames such as your M19 have a thin area at the six o'clock position of their forcing cones that's known to crack if the revolver is fired with large amounts of full-power, lightweight magnums (the full-power 125gr loadings are the most well-known offenders). So long as you stick to either .38 Special ammo or Magnums with heavier bullets, your revolver should last long enough for your grandchildren to enjoy it.

According to the Standard Catalog, it appears to be from 1974.
For photos, in FAQ under "Reading and posting messages," you will see "Attachments and images." It can be a little tricky at first, and your file can't be too big, but you can test it in the "Software and function testing" forum.

More info and photos
Thanks to Webleymkv--measured as you specify, full lock up, the cylinder gap is still 0.011". Yes it is a nickel finish, not chrome; my slip.
Thanks to Duke City Six--I attach photos, having benefitted much from your pointer to the forum info section.
I attach (I hope) two photos of the model 19. One general shot, and one of the breech end of the barrel. Is the "forcing cone" the slightly tapered first mm or two of the barrel? Is the weak point where the metal is thinner because of the flat cut into the bottom of the barrel?

Yes, the forcing cone ...is the rear portion of the barrel..at the cyclinder end...and it is slightly tapered so its easier for the bullet to enter the forcing cone ...as it emerges from the cyclinder.
By the way ....that carbon build up around the forcing cone --- can be cleaned up ...and if you stay after it, after every time you shoot it ....it'll look way better !!
I agree 1974 is what my book says ...
I only shoot the traditional 158 gr bullets in all of my K frame S&W's ( model 19's or 66's )...and I reload ....but there is a good variety of ammo available in 158gr...

Gap info?
Thanks for all the answers to my questions on my model 19-3.
One question remains, is my cylinder gap of 0.011", measured from full lock-up, normal or not? The piece is otherwise such pristine condition that I can't see how it could have gotten enough (ab)use to put it out of specs, but that gap is double of several other revolvers (Rugers) that I have on hand.

Check out the "how to check a revolver link above" in this section of the forum ....but 0.002 on some of my older model S&W 19's, 27's, 29's is about what I see on most of my guns...
I'd suggest you check it again with some feeler gagues .... 0.011 is quite a bit.../ if its really that wide, I'd probably have a competent S&W revolver gunsmith evaluate the gun - see what he or she can find..../ but your gun has a lot of carbon buildup in the area on -- and around the forcing cone..and that should be cleaned up, in my opinion, before you check it.

Feeler gauges
Thanks, Big Jim, but I am using feeler gauges, and with the gun in full lock-up, 0.010 easily slips in, and 0.011 with a little resistance. Just by eye-balling it I can see that it looks far wider than on my Rugers.
I wish there were a good local gunsmith. As I said before, it is hard to imagine why this could have so much gap, while showing almost no sign of wear elsewhere.

I don't know why its that wide either....maybe its ok / maybe not ....but I don't think this is something we can help you evaluate over the internet either.
You might ask around at your local range...see if there is someone in your area that is experienced with S&W revolvers.../ but that scorching and carbon buildup around the forcing cone, is an indication to me, the gun hasn't been that well cared for.
Is the timing tight ...or is it a little suspect too ? Check out the revolver link in detail - on how to check a revolver - if you haven't done that...it'll give you a lot more detail.
and good luck - whatever you decide.

Within specs
Well, I did find a gunsmith, and he says S&W specs for the mod 19 are rather loose, 0.006 to 0.012, so mine is just within specs. He inspected the gun and confirmed that it seemed to have had very little use, so the gap probably existed from the beginning. Finally, he made clear reducing the gap would be a major job. The barrel would have to be rotated into the frame one full frame, which would probably require machining the end of the barrel to allow adequate gap, and moreover the extractor rod would now foul the shroud, so it too would have to be shortened! I think I'll try to live with it.

SHOOT THE BLAMED THING! Then determine if the barrel/cylinder gap is excessive.
I carried one of these little gems for a couple of years, loaded with Federal .38 Special Nyclad hollow points.

A 19-3 would have been smack in the middle of the Punta years.
Bangor Punta owned S&W from 1965 until 1984.
QC during those years wasn't as good as it should have been & a whole lot of stuff was made that's borderline - such as the "just barely squeaks by being in spec" cylinder gap on your 19.
The drop in QC during those years was a fact.
The actual drop in QC wasn't all that bad.....it was greatly exaggerated.
It did used to have an effect on the value though.
That's one of the reasons I sought out M19's made during that period - they were excellent values.
And more importantly - all the ones I picked up were exceptionally good shooters.
Honestly though - if everything else works as it should then the CG isn't anything to worry about.
If it bothers you all that much, find someone with a chrono and clock some loads through it and see what it shows.

I agree wholeheartedly with Mr Wright. Take it out and shoot it. Don't spend too much time worrying about it.

Shoot the damned thing!
OK, I did. In about 24 rounds, half .38 Spl reloads, half Federal factory .357mags I got six FTFs--the primer was indented but did not fire. What does that tell you?

Sounds like someone did a trigger job with lighter springs. Not at all uncommon to run into. Try some Federal ammo. They tend to have softer cups that fire easier.
No matter how many times you do it and nothing happens it only takes something going wrong one time to kill you.

Did you try to fire the ones that did not go off again. If it was reloads then it could have been from primers that did not seat far enough. If it was with the magnum factory loads then you will need to look into getting heavier springs.

Is the strain screw on the lower-front of the grip screwed all the way in?

Strain Screw
@Redlevel42--I was able to screw it in another half-turn CW. Is that likely to make any difference in the miss-fire problem? I can't detect any change in trigger pull (using finger, not a gauge).

Reloads or factory ammo?
The strain screw could very well cause the FTF problem. Incorrectly tightened (too loose) would cause light hammer strikes. It is often referred to as a poor mans trigger job.

Awaiting another opportunity
Thanks to all. Having adjusted the screw, I'll report back after I'm able to shoot the gun again, I hope within the next few days.

Another thing to check - and it's not something common, but, I've had it happen....
Make sure the firing pin on the hammer is free to pivot. I had one that was sort of frozen in place and didn't pivot. Crud or something had built up on it.
I hit it with some #9 and a brass brush and scrubbed it good and freed it.
Since the gun is older and used, it's possible it was cleaned with WD40 and the WD40 has turned to varnish.
BTW - the finish is probably nickle not chrome.
Be careful with using #9 or anything else with ammonia in it to clean the gun.
Worst case is the ammonia will attack the finish. Less severe is the tendancy for the ammonia to turn it yellow.
I use Ballistol on all my nickle guns to clean them.

More tests
Well, I shot about half a box of fresh Federal .357 mags and all fired normally. I then shot some of the old (30-year old) .38 Spl reloads and about 20% failed to fire. It appears that tightening the adjusting screw was enough to ensure reliable firing of fresh factory ammo. The old .38 Spl may have deteriorated, and account for those miss-fires, though only more shooting with fresh ammo will totally convince me that my problem is solved.
The firing pin seems to move easily against spring tension in the hammer.

One of my all-time favorite food descriptions comes from Nigella Lawson writing about her Chocolate Guinness Cake, "magnificent in its black dampness".
Along with her very being, she has a voluptuous way with words – surprise! I could go on quoting Nigella, but I'll leave that topic for now or things might get sweaty.
I couldn't help thinking of her words when I made these brownies. Instead, I suppose you could say they're dark, moist and rich, but black dampness is so much more sensual and tempting, don't you think?
Olive oil baked into brownies might seem strange, but trust me, if you take your brownies fudgy these are for you. And how healthy for us that olive oil and cocoa happen to be loaded with antioxidants, phenols, flavonoids and who knows what else.
I used extra virgin olive oil and extra dark Dutch process cocoa, Hershey's Special Dark for the brownies pictured here. There's no detectable olive oil flavor that comes through so if you must use regular olive oil rather than extra virgin that would be okay; however using good quality cocoa is key.
I've also made this recipe with natural cocoa (which simply means it's not treated with an alkalizing agent) and ironically, while they are not as dramatically dark in color, the chocolate flavor is actually deeper. Green and Blacks could be my favorite cocoa; I absolutely recommend you try it.
Olive Oil & Cocoa Brownies
- 3 large eggs
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oi
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups unbleached flour
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 cup cacao nibs
- Heat oven to 350 degrees for at least 25 minutes.
- Coat an 8-inch square baking dish (glass or porcelain) with olive oil. Cut a piece of parchment to fit just the bottom of the dish and oil that too.
- Put the eggs in the bowl of a heavy duty mixer and beat on low for a minute. Increase speed to medium high while adding the sugar 1/2 cup at at time. Beat until the eggs are pale, thick and creamy.
- Decrease mixer speed and slowly add the oil in a thin stream, as if you were making an emulsion like mayonnaise. Add the vanilla extract.
- Sift together the flour, cocoa and salt into a bowl. Stir into the egg mixture until just incorporated, scraping down the bowl as needed.
- Scrape the batter into the prepared baking dish and sprinkle the cacao nibs over the top, if using.
- Bake 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the brownies emerges with some moist crumbs.
- Cool the pan completely on a rack before cutting into serving pieces.

Sharpen your arbitration skills by looking beneath the surface for a solution.
by Clint Waasted
The article is reprinted with permission from the October 4, 2013 edition of The Recorder
The need for good negotiation skills is ubiquitous across all disciplines and facets of law and life. From bargaining with your kids to creating business contracts, being an effective negotiator is a necessary tool in every person's personal and professional sphere.
Two of the most fundamental skills in effective negotiation are the ability to identify and utilize the underlying interests behind a client's positions, and the ability to effectively listen to the opposing party while negotiating. Using these broad skills as building blocks, lawyers can improve their ability to achieve successful outcomes in negotiations.
Understanding Interests and Positions
Often both parties in a negotiation adopt the same objective: to maximize their own benefit. The key to making progress in a negotiation is developing a broader perspective as to what represents "benefit." The first step is to identify each party's interests and positions and recognize the difference between the two concepts.
In a negotiation, each party is going to have a list of particular things it wants and needs. These objectives are a party's positions. Typically a position is simply a fixed amount of something at stake in a negotiation: a sum of money, a duration of time, a number of assets, etc. Alternatively, the reasons why a party seeks to achieve a particular position are a party's interests. Interests are the broader underlying motivations for wanting or needing a position.
Solutions to seemingly unsolvable problems can be created by taking the time to move beyond surface level positions to identify the underlying interests for each position. For example, consider the scenario from a popular negotiation exercise where two parties are negotiating for a fixed supply of oranges. Both party A and party B share the same position: to acquire as many oranges as possible. If neither party looks past their own position, the negotiation becomes a back and forth as to how to divide the existing oranges, and both parties walk away with access to fewer oranges than they would like.
However, identifying each party's underlying interest in obtaining the oranges opens an unseen pathway. As it turns out, party A needs oranges to make orange juice, while party B requires only the orange peels to be used as a spice. By broadening the scope of the conversation beyond the initial position, the parties discover that there is a way for each of them to use all of the oranges. Outcomes such as these are hidden in nearly every negotiation and can be discovered by capitalizing on the fact that underneath any position is a complex set of values, needs and objectives.
Prepare for negotiations by knowing your client's interests and positions and prioritizing them. Before you sit down to negotiate, you should develop a comprehensive sense of what needs to be accomplished during the negotiation. Know your clients goals and bottom lines and prioritize them. Often clients have several goals of varying importance, and the importance of each goal may fluctuate depending upon whether other goals are met. It is important to have an intimate working knowledge of all the moving parts within your client's goals so that when the bargaining begins, you can arrange the moving parts in a way that most benefits your client.
Identify the other party's interests and positions to discover common ground. During a negotiation, the opposing party is likely to assert its positions. However, the opposing party may not always offer information regarding its interests. Understanding both the positions and interests of the opposing party will allow you to push past sticking points in the conversation by giving you the ability to identify zones of agreement, and ultimately create new solutions within a negotiation.
Reframe the negotiation issues in terms of shared interests. Coming into any negotiation, the differences between the positions of the parties are initially the easiest elements to see. Many negotiators have difficulty seeing past these initial differences, and in focusing on them you are in danger of missing opportunities to "expand the pie" (as in the oranges example). By presenting the issues within a negotiation in terms of the underlying interests of the parties, however, you create infrastructure that allows for a greater focus on problem solving. Additionally, since concession is inevitable during negotiation, an interest-focused approach allows you to mitigate what you concede by highlighting avenues to meet underlying needs in alternative ways.
Effectively Listening
The ability to capitalize on understanding the interests and positions in a negotiation requires being an effective listener. Generally, one party will state a particular need or a desired outcome and the other party will respond by proposing a new solution. During this offer and counteroffer interplay, each side is communicating crucial information as to what is needed in order to reach agreement.
Give the other party room to speak. Oftentimes during a negotiation, parties spend an inordinate amount of time focusing only on their individual needs, rather than taking time to listen when the other side responds. It can be tempting to engage in a point/counterpoint, back-and-forth dynamic. A sophisticated negotiator will resist this temptation in favor of developing a comprehensive understanding about what exactly the parameters of the conflict are.
When crafting a solution for your client, any information you receive from the other side of the table is useful in helping find suitable middle ground. Have the discipline to focus when the other side is talking and take note of exactly what it is trying to communicate with its response. Avoid the habit of preparing counterarguments while the other party is talking. Save your responses for when you have had the opportunity to fully synthesize the information you have been given.
Ask questions to clarify and deepen your understanding of the other party's priorities. It is important to recognize that effective listening does not only involve being quiet and paying attention while the other party talks. It also necessitates asking questions to reveal the reasons why they have demanded a specific position.
Ask open-ended questions that require more than a mere "yes" or "no" answer as to what motivates the other side. Questions that speak directly to underlying interests will uncover the details implicit in the other party's positions.
Confirm what you have learned by demonstrating your understanding of a party's perspective. After you have listened and asked open-ended questions to clarify elements of what has been said, repeat back to the party your understanding of the points just made. Avoid simply parroting back what has been said to you. Instead, use your own words to synthesize the information you have been given to demonstrate that you have an independent understanding of what has been shared.
Exhibiting your understanding in this way is an example of active listening. It helps establish a shared perspective of the main issues and builds rapport. It can facilitate effective communication by reframing the negotiation toward interests.
Resources for Information and Training
There are many written resources one can use to enhance negotiation skills based on listening and identifying interests. From books such as Roger Fisher and William Ury's famous Getting to Yes, to Richard Shell's Bargaining for Advantage, and Bruce Patton's Difficult Conversations, there has been a great deal written on the topic of interest-based bargaining and the importance of listening.
Additionally, programs like UC Hastings's Center for Negotiation and Dispute Resolution can be an extraordinarily useful resource for obtaining negotiation skills training. Judges and lawyers from around the world come to CNDR to study all elements of alternative dispute resolution. CNDR hosts a biennial symposium, conferences, and workshops at which scholars and practitioners share research, case studies, and teaching techniques in the field.
Finally, an often overlooked method for developing these skills can be found in mediation training and certification. Although there are fundamental differences in the disciplines of mediation and negotiation, the role of a mediator requires the ability to identify the interests of the parties and make use of sophisticated listening and communication techniques. Learning and practicing these mediation techniques can sharpen your skills as a negotiator. CNDR offers mediation training and certification opportunities to practitioners worldwide, and CNDR professors break new ground in the study of implicit bias in mediation and the psychological dynamics of negotiation and lie detection. Other training opportunities can be found on the web or through local bar associations and other legal organizations.
Clint Waasted is the head of the competitive ADR program at UC Hastings and an adjunct professor of negotiation and mediation. He has coached UC Hastings' negotiation and mediation teams for 10 years and works in-house in the technology sector in Silicon Valley.

A life-long resident of the Hood River Valley, Jack Culbertson was welcomed into this world by Todd and Emma Morrison Culbertson on Feb. 15, 1924.
Jack met the love of his life, Dorothy Kiel, when they were 17 and 16, respectively. Married on July 6, 1942, Jack and Dorothy celebrated their 68th wedding anniversary this past July.
Jack was surrounded by his wife and children when he passed on the evening of Sept. 4, 2010.
Jack served in the Army Air Corps during World War II and the B-24 on which he served as armament gunner was shot down over Holland on Sept. 26, 1944. Captured by the Germans, he remained a prisoner of war until liberation.
He endured an 86-day march across Germany, covering more than 600 miles during the winter of 1945.
Jack and Dorothy raised three children in Parkdale: Larry, Steve and Debbie. The family grew to include 11 grandchildren and 14 great-grandchildren.
Jack's older brother, Harry, preceded him in death.
Retiring from Hanel Lumber Company in 1986, Jack and Dorothy enjoyed taking trips in their motor home and bowling several times each week. They are part of the Riverside Church family.
In 2003 Culbertson Park was named in his honor, located just blocks from Jack and Dorothy's home in Hood River.
A celebration of Jack's life will be held at Anderson's Tribute Center on Thursday, Sept. 9, at 2 p.m.
Arrangements are under the direction of Anderson's Tribute Center (Funerals, Receptions, Cremations), 1401 Belmont Ave., Hood River, OR 97031; 541-386-1000. Please visit www.andersonstributecenter.com to leave a note of condolence for family.

How do I measure MCU power dissipation on Synergy kits and correlate to data sheet values?
What is the best method for measuring MCU power dissipation on my Synergy kit? How can I duplicate the metrics from the data sheet?
There are several elements that need to be considered when initializing a Synergy MCU for taking meaningful power measurements. Some of the most important ones are listed below. By following these guidelines you should be able to duplicate the metrics fund in the appropriate device data sheet.
1) Determine which clock setting you want to use and set them. For example, do you want to use the LOCO or MOCO? What frequency do you want them to run at? Synergy Data sheets report MCU operating and standby current for a variety of modes (like High-Speed mode, and Medium-Speed mode), operating mode (Normal or Sleep), and with various clocks and peripherals operating or disabled.
2) Determine and set the code you want to execute during you power measurement cycle. Because the Synergy MCUs use advanced caching to improve performance you need to construct you testing code precisely. For example, if you use a single operation While Loop, like while(1), the cache will be refreshed and accessed very often. This increases power dissipation. If you se a series of NOOP instructions in your While Loop instead, you will find power dissipation metrics correlate with the data sheet values. Without this approach the values will be higher. For example, on the S3A7 the data sheet 5.1mA number for High-Speed mode, Normal operation, at 16 MHz can be as much as 7.3 mA (also depending on the settings for MOCO and LOCO).
3) Disable and other clocks such as MOCO and LOCO if you don't want them included in the power measurement.
4) Use the supplied test points on your Synergy Kits (for example, on the DK-S3A7 kit you would measure the current drop across the precision 50-mOhm resistors R1 and R42 using connector J22 for MCU current and J24 for analog current).
Follow the above guidlines and you should be able to measure and correlate your readings with those in the appropriate Synergy device data sheet.

Dr. Mary Ann Rose and Dan Drake were named winners of the Collaborative Research Award during the 17th annual Collaborative Nursing Research Day held Feb. 29 at the Edwin W. Monroe AHEC Conference Center.
The $1,000 award supports a research project between a nurse faculty member and a Pitt County Memorial Hospital clinician and is sponsored by the ECU College of Nursing and University Health Systems of Eastern Carolina.
Rose is a professor in the ECU College of Nursing and past president of the National Association of Bariatric Nurses. Drake is a peri-operative and bariatric clinical nurse specialist at PCMH and president of the National Associate of Bariatric Nurses. The title of their project is "Safety Concerns in Caring for the Morbidly Obese: The Nurses View." Rose and Drake along with members of the Bariatric Nursing Consortium will survey nurses on safety risks inherent in caring for morbidly obese patients and on ways to improve safety.
The conference this year focused on practice-based evidence. The concept suggests that understanding of factors related to effective, safe nursing care can be enhanced through the integration and analysis of data that are already collected in the clinical setting, or practice-based evidence.
The event was sponsored by the College of Nursing, UHS, Beta Nu chapter of Sigma Theta Tau International and the Eastern Area Health Education Center.
More than 20 research posters were presented by nurse faculty, graduate nursing students and clinical nurses. The posters explored topics from the relationship between spirituality and rehabilitation outcomes, simulation and school based case management of children with chronic illness to telehealth and triage nursing, burnout and nurse retention, and caring for heart failure patients.
Keynote speaker was Nancy Dunton, director of the National Database of Nursing Quality Indicators and research associate professor in the University of Kansas Medical Center's School of Nursing with a joint appointment in the Department of Health Policy and Management. She has more than 25 years of experience in helping organizations use outcome indicators in decision making.

SOURCE: Packaged Facts
January 29, 2013 13:47 ET
ROCKVILLE, MD--(Marketwire - Jan 29, 2013) - Following double-digit annual sales gains in years past, growth in the U.S. market for supplemental pet nutrition products is moderating, according to Pet Supplements and Nutraceutical Treats in the U.S., a just-released study from market research firm Packaged Facts. Therefore, marketers will need to work harder to remain relevant.
Packaged Facts estimates total U.S. retail sales of pet supplements and nutraceutical treats at $1.3 billion in 2012. Sales growth stalled in 2010 as the recession took hold and held on, a slow-down attributable almost entirely to a downturn on the equine supplements side. Nonetheless, the environment is increasingly competitive across the pet nutrition market, particularly with the growing sophistication of specialty nutrition and condition-specific pet food formulas.
With hundreds of products batting for limited shelf space, selling pet supplements means educating consumers and retailers about their benefits and differences, with veterinarians remaining the toughest customers of all. Clinical testing, proprietary formulas, the NASC (National Animal Supplement Council) seal of approval, novel ingredients, natural ingredients, retail merchandising, and social media programs are all parts of the competitive equation. Now more than ever, the sale of one pet supplement or nutraceutical treat comes at the expense of another.
Throughout the recession and its aftermath of economic doldrums, sales of dog and cat treats remained strong, so it is not surprising that pet supplements are increasingly resembling treats. Traditional forms still abound, including tablets and pills. But palatability concerns and the human/pet bonding and fun factor of supplements in treat form has led to an explosion of functional biscuits and "soft chews." Also gaining ground are alternative delivery formats including gels and pastes, as well as gravies and powders designed to be added to pet food. As a result, the boundary between supplements and foods continues to blur, and the number of pet owners regularly providing their pets with specialty nutrition products keeps rising.
An August 2012 Packaged Facts consumer survey shows that 43% of dog owners and 36% of cat owners purchase some type of specialty nutritional formula pet food or supplemental nutritional products for their pets. "As in human nutritional products market," says David Sprinkle, Research Director at Packaged Facts, "aging is the core market driver, as more pets suffer from age-related conditions such as joint deterioration and cognitive dysfunction." Also taking a page from human supplements are popular ingredients including glucosamine, omega fatty acids, and probiotics, along with trendier ingredients such as bee pollen, green tea, and elk velvet antler.

Gay-Straight Alliance Network's 9th annual Youth Empowerment Summit focuses on educational opportunities for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender youth
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 14– Hundreds of California students have joined together today with the goal of ensuring all youth, including lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender youth, have the opportunity to succeed in school. The 9th annual Youth Empowerment Summit (YES), hosted by the Gay-Straight Alliance Network of California and planned and led by youth, drew high school and middle school students from across the state for a day of skills-building workshops, a resource fair, and a keynote youth panel discussing educational justice.
"An extension of the Gay-Straight Alliance movement seen on campuses, the Youth Empowerment Summit opens a dialogue around the pervasive concerns of all LGBTQIA youth: justice and advocacy," said Lara Loesel, a 17-year-old Oak Ridge High School student who helped organize the GSA Network event. "YES is an opportunity for queer youth like myself to harness our power and to inspire the changes we desperately need in our schools."
The 2013 Youth Empowerment Summit covered issues ranging from starting a GSA to implementing California's School Success and Opportunity Act, the new law going into effect on January 1st. This law ensures transgender youth have the same opportunity to fully participate in school and graduate as their peers.
"Whether it's starting GSA clubs on their campuses, passing and implementing laws like the School Success and Opportunity Act, or coming to conferences like the Youth Empowerment Summit, GSA student leaders are determined to keep pushing until all young people have the chance to succeed," said Carolyn Laub, Founder and Executive Director of Gay-Straight Alliance Network, which operates the GSA Network of California.
Youth and adult allies chose from 45 workshops, including: "LGBTQ Students: Know Your Rights;" "LGBT Sports: Locker Room to Olympics;" and "How to Have a Kick-Ass GSA." The keynote panel featured youth voices discussing educational justice for youth of color, LGBT youth, low-income youth, and youth with disabilities. Last year's Youth Empowerment Summit drew over 700 participants.
About Gay-Straight Alliance Network
Gay-Straight Alliance Network (GSA Network) is a national youth leadership organization that empowers youth activists to fight homophobia and transphobia in schools by training student leaders and supporting student-led Gay-Straight Alliance clubs throughout the country. GSA Network operates the GSA Network of California and the National Association of GSA Networks, which unites 37 statewide networks of GSA clubs. In California alone, GSA Network has brought GSA clubs to 61% of public high schools, impacting more than 1.2 million students at over 940 schools. GSA Network's youth advocates have played a key role in changing laws and policies that impact youth at the local and state level.

Thinking Proportionally
Lesson 3 of 10
Objective: Students will be able to analyze proportional relationships and use them to solve real=world and mathematical problems.
Big Idea: This lesson is awesome because the students critique the thinking and work of their classmates.
Lesson Beginning
Review the Write It Wednesday strategy with the class. Feedback and constructive criticism should be discussed to ensure everybody remembers how to provide helpful criticism. Phrases like, "That's nice" do not help write strong answers. Students should also be reminded that the well-crafted answer should restate, add details, and summarize the answer.
Question: The enrollment at Lanier Middle School is 715 students this year. This is 10% more than last year's enrollment. How many students attended Lanier Middle School last year? Explain your mathematical reasoning.
Students will trade papers, critique the response, and provide a score for the answer using the Ohio Department of Education extended response rubric.
When students give the papers back to the author we will display the answer on the SMARTboard or under the document camera if there is a volunteer who wants to share. If not, we can walk through the solution as a whole group-taking suggestions for steps from the group. During the whole group discussion we can look for any different strategies students may have used to solve the problem.
Resources (7)
Lesson Middle
Students will complete the Pre Assessment form for the Scale Matters activity in the next lesson. It is an individual effort and students should work on their own to determine their answers. If students should finish early, guide them to find an alternate route to the solution.
Resources (2)
Lesson End
Students will complete an exit ticket before the Pre Assessment is collected. Exit ticket question: What is one thing on the Pre Assessment that you are uncertain of? If you knew everything on the assessment, write something from the assessment on which you can provide support to another student.

I have had very mixed emotions as the various constituencies have come forward to weigh in on the tragedy. Religious, moral, ethical and legal/constitutional forces converge in a frightening array. This could be called the "perfect storm" of the right to die—or live—dilemma.
SEC`S "Titan Report" Raises The Stakes For Disclosure Of Government Investigationsby William W. Horton, Haskell Slaughter Young & Rediker, LLC, Birmingham, AL
The healthcare industry is, and likely will continue to be, characterized by the pervasive presence of government investigations. Many of these investigations are commenced, and continue for months and even years, under the seal of the False Claims Act, so that the specifics of the alleged objectionable conduct may remain somewhat murky even to the organization being investigated. This in turn leads to legal conundrums for publicly traded healthcare companies seeking to fulfill their duties of disclosure under the federal securities laws. A recent pronouncement by the SEC has introduced a new wrinkle into the already complex disclosure analysis that arises for issuers under government investigation.
Purchaser Or Provider?A Review Of A Current Compliance Issue For Physicians by Jennifer A. McDaniel, Fulbright & Jaworski L.L.P.
Healthcare suppliers and their attorneys must have at least a general understanding of the legal restrictions governing physician self-referrals and billing rules. Armed with this knowledge, physician clients and other healthcare suppliers don't often propose business structures that conflict with the federal restriction on physician self-referrals, i.e., the Stark Law, and similar state restrictions. Physicians continue, however, to look for alternative business structures that provide an opportunity to increase revenue. For example, an increasingly common strategy is to seek to capture reimbursement for the technical component of diagnostic tests. Private healthcare services companies and equipment leasing companies interested in securing expanded revenue streams are actively exploring opportunities to partner with physicians and other healthcare suppliers by creating arrangements that are intended to allow physicians to capture a portion of this technical service revenue. In our experience, physicians have been increasingly approached to "lease scans," or enter into "time-share" arrangements with diagnostic facilities as a way to boost their revenue.
Overview of Charity Care RequirementsImposed Upon Nonprofit Hospitals by David M. Flynn, Duane Morris L.L.P., Philadelphia, PA
Nonprofit, tax-exempt hospitals have been faced for many years with questions regarding to need to provide appropriate levels of "charity care" to the communities they serve. The requirements derive from several sources, and the parameters establishing legal minimums are neither clearly-defined nor uniform. The financial accounting rules for classification of services to be treated as "charity care" may be somewhat easier to articulate (if not to apply), but they may not accurately mirror the various legal requirements.

Drinkers desert pubs
AUSSIES are turning away from their local watering holes in favour of a quiet, and sometimes not-so-quiet drink at home, according to a new study.
The new research by the Foundation for Alcohol Research and Education (FARE) found 74% of Australians drink alcohol at home or at a friend's house.
The figures are in stark contrast to previous generations when 70% of drinking was conducted in a pub or club.
While the latest figures may be bad news for pubs and clubs, Judy Hardy from Richmond Homebrewing Supplies said the move was good news for them.
Mrs Hardy said she suspected that economic factors were the biggest force driving people away from pubs.
"Since I bought the shop in 2009 every time interest rates go up I get an influx of people wanting starter kits."
"You can make two-and-a-half cartons of beer for $20, if going out was that cheap, people wouldn't bother (making their own)."
FARE's chief executive, Michael Thorn, said the figure reflected societal changes to drinking.
"It's been going on for 40 years," Mr Thorn said. "A lot of social and economic factors shape the way people consume alcohol."
Mr Thorn suggested the prevalence of cheap take-away alcohol, increasing cost of living, growing job uncertainty and tough drink-driving penalties were factors behind the move to home drinking.
The research also found that changes in drinking behaviour were resulting in a large number of harms in the home with four million Australians negatively affected by the alcohol consumption of a household member, relative or friend.
"Drinking at home can contribute to the normalisation of drinking when done in front of children," Mr Thorn said. "This study aims to establish harms to others rather than just the drinker."
Station hotel regular Corey Smith said despite the increased cost of living he still preferred to drink at his local because of the camaraderie that it had.
"I come here to have a yarn," Mr Smith said. "There's more people at the pub."
74% of people mainly consume alcohol at home or at a friend's house; 24% of people mainly consume alcohol at a pub, club or restaurant; Gen Y (38%) is more likely than Gen X (20%) and Baby Boomers (19%) to consume alcohol at a pub, club or restaurant.

There is a woman who is seventy-six years old. She wears gold bangles on her wrists that were given to her by her husband, who told her that she should never take them off as long as she lives, and that if she died these bangles would be cut off.
Now he has died, so what should she do? As is well known, the woman whose husband dies should not wear gold or perfume, etc for four months. So what should she do?.
In the answer to questions no. 10670 and 13966 we explained that the woman whose husband dies has to avoid certain things: going out of the house during the day except when there is a need, and at night unless it is absolutely necessary; wearing beautiful clothes; adorning herself with jewellery and other things; and wearing perfume except when she becomes pure from menses or postpartum bleeding (nifaas), in which case she may use only a little.
The woman who is observing 'iddah following the death of her husband has to avoid the things mentioned above for the length of the 'iddah period, which is four months and ten days according to the lunar calendar. This is the 'iddah for all women except one who is pregnant – in that case, the 'iddah ends when the pregnancy ends.
A husband's request to his wife never to take off jewellery is not a wasiyyah (will or final request) that has to be followed, because it is a request concerning something over which the husband has no authority. Whether to take off the jewellery or not is up to the wife and no one has the right to force her to do any such thing.
Moreover, following sharee'ah is more important and takes precedence. Sharee'ah forbids a woman who is observing 'iddah following the death of her husband to wear jewellery.
It was narrated from 'Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: "There is no obedience (to anyone) if it involves disobedience (to Allah); obedience is only with regard to that which is right and proper."
Narrated by al-Bukhaari (7257) and Muslim (1840).
Shaykh 'Abd al-'Azeez ibn Baaz (may Allah have mercy on him) was asked:
With regard to a will or final request that is contrary to sharee'ah: should it be carried out? How should the one to whom these instructions were given deal with this will?
He replied:
Instructions that are contrary to sharee'ah do not count. If final instructions are contrary to sharee'ah, they should not be carried out. Only those instructions that are in accordance with sharee'ah may be carried out. End quote.
Fataawa Noor 'ala al-Darb, tape no. 420
Based on that, this woman has to take off those bangles during the 'iddah period, then after that if she wishes she may wear them, and if she wishes she may refrain from wearing them.
And Allah knows best.

FUNDACION , Colombia, May 19 (UPI) -- A fire aboard a bus leaving a church event in Colombia killed 32 people, including 31 children.
The overcrowded bus was picking up attendees at an event in Fundacion, in northern Colombia, when the fire began, Col. Adam Leon said, adding that some children escaped and that authorities are investigating the cause of the fire.
"Everyone started to scream and run," a child survivor said of the incident.
The adult victim was Harry Aaron, a civil defense official in the Magdalena municipality. A witness said the driver left the scene to get a drink, and children were charged with putting gasoline into the tank of the vehicle.
Colombia President Juan Manuel Santos, who was in northern Colombia at the time, traveled to Magdalena to offer condolences to victims.

These are great looking lights, especially after dark when you see them coming down the road. The cons: This wasn't mentioned in the directions or shown on the light photo......but there IS a ballast on the back of the light set that is only 6" long and must be mounted to a metal surface (gets too hot for plastic) I was told by ANZO. SO you either have a metal surface 6" from your lights or you must make a bracket and mount it to the body before you can install the lights......another 2 hrs.

WELLESLEY, Mass. – After starting the season with a three-game sweep of New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference rival Clark University, the MIT baseball team swept the weekly conference awards today when the league announced that juniors Kiel Jindra (Oceanside, Calif.) and Creed Mangrum (Sandy, Utah) were named the conference Pitcher and Player of the Week respectively.
After missing most of last season with an injury, Jindra made his first start in nearly a year in the season opener for MIT on Friday against Clark. He showed no signs that the long layoff slowed him down as he dominated the Cougars by allowing no hits and just an unearned run in six innings, striking out eight vs. just one walk. He started the game by retiring the first nine hitters in order.
Picking up where he left off last season, Mangrum had hits and scored runs in each game of the Clark series over the weekend. In game one he singled, stole third and went on to score the game-winning run to help MIT to a 4-1 win. He also started a three-run rally in the first game of the doubleheader on Saturday with a single and stolen base in another 4-1 decision and then came up with two hits and three RBI in the 13-2 victory in game three as the Engineers completed the series sweep.

Workplace bullying drives Annette Prada, NM gov't worker, to suicide
Monday, December 3rd, 2012
If exposed long enough to severe workplace bullying, two outcomes become likely. First, the target's health is jeopardized. Second, unremitting stress can cause loss of the ability to discern and make choices to get oneself to safety due to physiological changes in the brain. The second outcome can lead to suicide. One WBI 2012 study found that 29% of bullied targets considered suicide; 16% actually had a plan to execute.
Annette Prada worked 23 years for a New Mexico state agency, the Public Regulation Commission (PRC) in the Corporations bureau. Her daughter told The New Mexican reporter Staci Matlock that her mother had been dealing with "bullying and stress there for years." Andre Prada claimed the abuse was verbal, in e-mails and in the form of demotions.
Annette's daughter repeated the phrase we too often hear here at WBI, that her mother was "only two years away from retirement. She tried to stay strong." The family confirmed that Annette also had health problems.
Annette disappeared on Thursday Nov. 29. Police told her family that she was found dead.

And the first act booted off 'X Factor' is ...
Did you favorite get sent packing? A surprising act takes the top spot on the leaderboard.
"The results are in!" said Mario Lopez.
Co-host Khloe Kardashian Odom was right by his side for Thursday's first X Factor elimination show. "Please don't let me cry tonight when we send someone home!" she tweeted just before going on the air.
But before we got to any results, the squealing started early and quickly as the crowd went crazy, crazy, crazy for teen heartthrob band One Direction —- who were contestants on the X Factor U.K. when Simon Cowell signed them and launched them to stardom. The guys took the stage to sing Live While We're Young as red and white balls bounced around them.
"Awesome performance," said Mario.
"How hot is One Direction!?" yelled Khloe to the crowd.
Then we got to see a new Pepsi ad featuring One Direction and NFL star Drew Brees. Product placement synergy!
And then came the first results. The acts all made their way on stage with their celeb mentors. Six of the Top 12 were revealed:
Arin Ray, 17
Paige Thomas, 22
Diamond White, 13
Vino Alan, 40
Jennel Garcia, 18
Emblem3, the group of three guys from Huntington Beach, Calif.
One Direction came back to send fans swooning with soft song Little Things. And we saw the Pepsi ad again.
And then more results. Going through:
Carly Rose Sonenclar, 13
Tate Stevens, 37
Beatrice Miller, 13
Lyric 145
Fifth Harmony
All of Britney's acts and all of Simon's acts made it through to the Top 12. It came down to the bottom two -- Demi Lovato-mentored Cece Grey, 21; and L.A. Reid-mentored Jason Brock — just as we figured!
Cece opted for Cher's You Haven't Seen the Last of Me, with the hope of making it come true.
Jason poured his heart into Total Eclipse of the Heart (and for once, the crowd got silent and listened)!
Demi, of course, voted to send Jason home, while L.A. Reid voted to send Cece home. Britney, without hesitation, voted to send home Cece. And Simon voted for Jason. So it came down to America!
And America sent Jason Brock home. Part of what he said seemed to have been bleeped, or his mike wasn't working. He said, "I want to say I did it for the gays and Japan." He hugged L.A., who said, "I'm still proud of him. Every time he sang, he sang from the heart. He is very entertaining and I really loved working with you."
And then to spice things up, the show unveiled a leaderboard— a first for a singing competition show, noted Mario — based on the public vote. Here's how the acts stacked up:
1. Tate Stevens "Obviously people in America don't get out a lot," said Tate, laughing.
2. Carly Rose Sonenclar
3. Vino Alan
4. Diamond White
5. Fifth Harmony
6. Emblem3
7. Jennel Garcia
8. Paige Thomas
9. Lyric 145
10. Beatrice Miller
11. Arin Ray
12. Cece Frey
Next week: The Top 12 perform on Wednesday and Taylor Swift performs on Thursday's results show.
