Information about Read to Me, Charlotte
Read to Me, Charlotte! is a new, exciting initiative coordinated by the Public Library of Charlotte & Mecklenburg County. The initiative's goal is to encourage all families in Charlotte to read to their children - especially during the vitally important ages birth-5 and to encourage all sectors of the community to participate in the literacy effort.
Since January 2007, we have implemented several community-driven activities. Activities surrounding Read to Me, Charlotte:
- Literacy Scan of Charlotte and Mecklenburg County, a comprehensive online database of literacy service providers in Mecklenburg County posted on our Web site in various strategic locations. (See websites listed at the end of this document.)
- Community Literacy Envisioning Day, a meeting of multiple sectors of the community including school staff members, the public school superintendent, the arts community, business members, literacy service agencies and many others. During the meeting we brainstormed what each sector of the community can do to contribute to early literacy efforts in Charlotte and Mecklenburg County. The day was very successful with 100 percent of the attendees indicating interest in Read to Me, Charlotte!
- Read to Me, Charlotte! Steering Committee: This committee of 15 members from various sectors of the community is combining their input and experiences to help shape, inform and progress the program's initiatives. They are helping to strategize partnership opportunities and choose effective programs with Read to Me, Charlotte!
Beginning August 2007:
- Born Reader Program, a collaborative book give-away effort between the main hospital location of Carolinas Medical Center, the largest and most diverse maternity program in Charlotte, and the Public Library of Charlotte & Mecklenburg County. Each family will receive the board book Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See? in English or in Spanish. The book includes a brochure with a library card application, reading tips and early literacy information for parents, and early reader resources at the public library.
- Read to Me, Charlotte! A public awareness campaign to encourage families to read to their children early and often. The public awareness campaign includes print and radio ads to be run for one year in Charlotte.
- Read to Me, Charlotte Web site: The Web site (in development)is created especially for parents, teachers and caregivers of children ages birth-5 with community literacy resources, early literacy information, library resources, and family reading activities.

Libraries and Early Childhood Related Research
Early Childhood Longitudinal Study
New NCES Report Highlights Preschoolers' Knowledge and Skills
The ALA Office for Research and Statistics
The first report produced using data from the third wave of the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study, Birth Cohort (ECLS-B), a study of a nationally representative sample of children born in the year 2001, provides a range of information about these children when they were about 4 years old.
Preschool: First Findings From the Third Follow-up of the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study, Birth Cohort, released by the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), shows that children at an early age demonstrated a wide range of skills and abilities. For example, 64 percent of children could identify the colors blue, yellow, orange, black, and brown without assistance at about 4 years of age, while 65 percent were proficient in naming numbers and shapes.
ECLS-B is designed to provide detailed information on children's development, health, and early learning experiences in the years leading up to entry into school. The longitudinal study is following the progress of about 10,000 children, which is representative of the approximately 4 million children born in the United States in 2001. The study is the first national effort to directly assess children's early mental and physical development, their relationships with parents, the quality of their early care and education, and the contributions of both mothers and fathers in their lives.
Other findings from the report include:
- Three-quarters (77 percent) of the children in the study were living in two-parent households; and about two-thirds of the children's mothers were either working full- or part-time (60 percent) or looking for work (6 percent).
- Children with two-parent families scored higher than children with single-parent families in several aspects of early literacy: letter recognition, or children's ability to identify letters of the alphabet; phonological awareness, or understanding of the sounds and structure of spoken language; and conventions of print, or understanding such aspects as the reading of English text from left to right.
- The percentage of children demonstrating proficiency in numbers and shapes ranged from 40 percent among lower socioeconomic status (SES) families to 87 percent in higher SES families.
- About 80 percent received care from someone other than a parent on a regular basis. Specifically, 45 percent were in a center-based (non-Head Start) setting; 13 percent were in a Head Start setting; 13 percent were in a home-based relative care setting; and 8 percent were in a home-based nonrelative care setting.

Whether you like it black or heavy on the cream and sugar, the majority of U.S. adults drink coffee. Coffee may even modify some of the damage done by bad habits such as smoking and excessive drinking. Researchers at Vanderbilt University's Institute for Coffee Studies found that folks who drank coffee in addition to smoking and drinking had far less heart disease and liver disease compared to those who didn't drink coffee. The caffeine in a hot cup of coffee may even help manage an asthma attack in the absence of medication; it can relieve the pain of a headache, banish a bad mood and even help stave off cavities.

[Breeze Evahflowin]
Yo all's fair in love and war
In this lyrical tug of war, I struggle more than most do
Wrote a verse on the stamp, the man's postal
Mid-coastal vocalist, Vakill the host of this
Gave me a shout, yo Breeze, get in they ass
Like shit when a baby come out
Fuck rock the cradle, I rock the fatal
I rock the cape and cop the cable with the stronghold fist piece
Packed with mo' liquor than an act rap
Niggas is bitch weak
Supabreeze, black batman, you can't escape me
What it gonna take me
Wile out and sabotage yo break beats
So when your DJ cuts
He gets his head blown to the fuck back of his buttcrack
I cut thats with axe chops
The nigga givin' you the finger, standin in the back of your snapshots
And that's not the worst, add on the megahertz
Throwin' bodies like the high seas crashin the earth
[Camu Tao]
Twenty-four twelve gauges, pointin' at twelve faces
Shred the ugly mugs to bits and send 'em to hell places
Gimme six seconds, i'll share a sick fetish
And million photos to your walls so you can watch your bitch get it
It's Bruce Banner with the screws loose of a loose cannon
With a hand grenade and a pistol to introduce panic
I wanna fuck your whore in the mouth because I hate her guts
Hangin with me in a battle was unlikely
Like holding anything in your hand like a thousand fucking paper cuts
I got some sharp shit for your smart ass
Well son I wet the windshield thru your throw that through your car crash
And I be tugging on you like you making me wanna vomit
Man you're looking messed up
Left your body lookin like welch up from the chest up
Sicker than ten lizards, clawin at ten niggas
Hotter than ten comets and colder than ten blizzards
Came out of the c-section blocked a and b
Toss anything at me, you still ain't grazin me
Get so ill it still amazes me
My brains a metal case, casin' a metal store and I guarantee
I'll be up through the mall nigga ready to war
Yo, you ever hear a nigga scream he wanna battle Jakki?
Ya see that the hold of god of a man that's out of his mind
I'm bitchin my enemies soft with traps that out of his time
Inchin delivery, pork a rapper out of his spine
I'll snatch a rapper out his god damn element
Stomp you out with the force of fifty elephants
I'll take you so far it becomes irrelevant
Shrink myself into your brain and i'll assault your intelligence
I'm hell sent your little angel, I stunt quickly
And the devil just said, "You cannot fuck with me!"
I'm killin songs, I do it without a rap
You can drop a billion bones but won't do it without a strap
Battlin me you find the words onto deciding factor
I can reverse your brain and make every word you say come out backwards
Bring the sickest emcee to me to stare in silence
A hotly sized body it start infecting his iris
There ain't nothin that you can do to excite me
You slow enough to make a snail look like it's pushing light speed
My words are excrement projectiles
The shit I talk will make your asshole wanna file divorce and leave your bowels
You ain't shit to mine, I cripple spines and split ya lines
I slow down reality just so you can't rip on time
Like retinas with feet connectin an ass, I hit behind
Go ask your mom to take your place nigga that bitch your rhyme
I walk on stage, dick in hand
Outspit your clan
I don't like crowds feelin' me no matter how stiff they stand
Cravin Copywrite to spit on a strict diet of fiberglass and bricks
So you cats can't bite my shit
Don't stomp on my crews fame standing on the roof of McDonalds
The only way you reach the top of the food chain
So what you reachin for the mic for
I hate my own rhymes, what the fuck makes you think I'mma like yours
It's been killin' me how your clique isn't feelin me yet
Fuck a mic check, give 'em a disability check
X-rated, make songs to stress haters
Fuck an H bomb, I wanna hear some napalm and flex blazin
I battle fifty weak flow donors
And beat the odds like an abusive freak show owner
Past foul lifes now identical to my rap style
Take a shit in a crib and wipe my ass with a bath towel
Still shittin, still hittin twenty bottles
Seven henny bottles later, still spittin semi auto
My acapella chokes overrated herbs
Rhyme setter sellin dope, so you know I got a way with words
And fuck edit, engineer, let the swears stay
Like I'm gettin any motherfuckin' airplay
Pure hunger vicious with a track
Use my little underground fame to lure younger bitches in the sack
Bet you didn't think it get more vicious when attack
When ink and sword form a syntactical union, send tactical units
Practice communion, drinkin' the blood of Christ
And then became anemic, I'm amademically
Spit a chalk outline when I stock up parents swallowers
Polish my nuts, yo affection is cash
You still can't afford to talk outshinin
Your severed spine drenches on my knife
Masochist mastubatory, dick riders beat within nine inches of they life
Y'all gay, questioning why I think with my dick so much
Because it's the smartest thing to come out of your mouth all day
Twenty-four bricks when I pen a gram
I battle the side of a pentagram of a satanical cult cycle while wearin adult diapers
So it depends how hard I shit on you and not bitch
Cross your t's and your preparation h's
I got an extinction agenda in these desperation ages
Fuck up the game so bad that I have to skip payin dues
And go directly into the payin reparation stages
Scathe the pain when it's pen pokin and invokin' the crimson cascade and rain
And the beef is never over until a fat bitch drops a bar like Roseannes maiden name
In my universal killables
Cause to shook up to bein' an assassin
It's bein ash the first two syllables
My genetic makeup is not that abnormal hell
I'm half lead and when I'm buried in the back of your head
Is the only way i'll be a shell of my former self, think about it

GLENDALE, Ariz. — If this is goodbye Mr. Chip, then many thanks.
For 46 glorious wins in your four years, taking Oregonians to all but the pinnacle of college football. And for returning to the scene of that one shortfall to razzle if not dazzle for a 35-17 thumping of No. 6 Kansas State in the 42nd Tostitos Fiesta Bowl.
You'll be missed at Oregon, Chip Kelly, should you leave to see if the changing NFL is ready for your blur offense, but certainly not forgotten. Not at a place that once suffered through eight consecutive losing seasons but now can boast about consecutive Bowl Championship Series wins and three top-five national finishes in a row.
BOX SCORE: Oregon 35, Kansas State 17
"We want Chip," the Oregon faithful chanted at University of Phoenix Stadium, where they were outnumbered by Kansas State fans in a crowd of 70,242. Those who came from Eugene, Ore., no doubt included many who were stunned into silence here two years ago when Auburn won the BCS Championship Game 22-19 on a game-ending field goal.
The numbers never really added up for the Wildcats (11-2) after Oregon's De'Anthony Thomas returned the opening kickoff 94 yards, capped by a 2-point conversion run by defensive end Dion Jordan.
The deficit grew to 15-0 by the end of the first quarter, more points than No. 3 Oregon (12-1) scored in its only loss of the season, 17-14 to Stanford in overtime Nov. 17. Kansas State chased hard to catch up and almost did so late in the first half.
ONE POINT SAFETY: Historic play adds spice to dull Fiesta Bowl
Then, as at the outset, the Ducks struck like lightning with a 46-second drive after a missed field-goal attempt in a 10-point swing putting the Wildcats in an inescapable 22-10 hole.
"Our players won the game for us," Kelly said. "I can't say enough about our defense. It was a heck of a game. We were fortunate to come out on top. We lost to a real good Stanford team, but our guys know we've got to come back. We came out the next week and got ourselves to a fourth BCS game. It was about finishing and sending the seniors out the right way."
History says that scoring on the opening kickoff in a bowl here is no guarantee of victory.
DE'ANTHONY THOMAS: Oregon's offensive weapon puts on a show
Florida shrugged off Ted Ginn Jr.'s 93-yard stunner at the start of the 2007 BCS Championship Game to rout Ohio State 41-14.
But when it's high-scoring Oregon going to the house in the first 12 seconds — Thomas making a few moves then breaking away down the sideline — it's trouble for the unfortunate opponent.
"My role was to be a momentum builder and a game changer," said Thomas, who had 314 all-purpose yards and a 91-yard touchdown run in last year's Rose Bowl win over Wisconsin. "I just wanted to get to the edge fast and celebrate with my team."
Kansas State coach Bill Snyder said Thomas' touchdown "obviously puts you in a compromising situation. We had a chance to come away from it, even though it was seven points we gave up in a heartbeat. It was a major play in the ballgame."
The first blow, though, did not fell Kansas State.
The Wildcats maintained possession for 21:09 of the first half and were lined up on the right hash for a 40-yard field-goal attempt late in the first half to pull within two points.
That after the Ducks had failed on a fake punt at midfield. Kansas State took advantage by driving to a fourth-and-1 at the Oregon 18-yard line. The Wildcats lined up in what quarterback Collin Klein said afterward was an attempt to draw the Ducks offside with a hard snap count, only for a false-start penalty to be called instead on tackle Cornelius Lucas.
Anthony Cantele missed his longer field-goal attempt wide left, leaving Oregon one minute on the clock, more than enough time to deflate all the defensive work done by Kansas State after Thomas' return.
With their stars stymied, the Ducks turned to tight end Colt Lyeria, who caught passes for 23 and 17 yards from Marcus Mariota. Then Mariota threw to a wide-open Kenjon Barner, and the senior running back cruised 24 yards into the end zone.
Seventy-seven yards in five plays over those decisive 46 seconds.
"I would concur that had a significant impact on the outcome," Snyder said. "By same token, going down 10, even though that took momentum away, we still felt we had the appropriate opportunity to finish the game the right way. But it was a big swing. No guarantee we would have scored. It was mistakes like that that were instrumental in where we were in the first half. We had our opportunities."
But Oregon scored the first 10 points of the second half, including one on a rare one-point safety after Kansas State blocked an extra-point kick but was tackled in the end zone trying for a return.
Mariota and linebacker Michael Clay were named Offensive and Defensive Player of the Game, respectively.
Mariota passed for 166 yards and two touchdowns, and he rushed for 62 yards and another score. Senior Clay had a team-high nine tackles, two tackles for a loss and a sack.
Kansas State suffered its fifth consecutive bowl loss since beating Arizona State 34-27 in the 2002 Holiday Bowl.

Sword fighting, dwarves, lush visuals and not a script in sight
Once upon a time, a movie mogul imagined it was time for another adaptation of Snow White. In a fairytale world, this would mean a beautiful production with excellent performances.
In reality, what we got was a poison apple: Beautiful on the outside and deadly dull beneath the surface.
The story, which is a mishmash of several fairy tales, follows Snow White (Lily Collins: Abduction), a princess who is confined to her castle bedroom by her cruel stepmom (Julia Roberts: Larry Crowne) after the disappearance of her dad.
Snow is a sweet, if sheltered, girl who has no idea that evil step-mommy is running up piles of debt and taxing the kingdom into ruin. When her servants finally convince her to step outside the palace walls, Snow is shocked by the poverty of her people.
She's also pretty surprised to run into a nearly naked man hanging upside-down. This flesh-and-blood piñata is Alcott (Armie Hammer: J. Edgar), a spoiled but well-meaning prince looking for adventure. He found it when a band of seven giants — actually dwarves on spring-loaded stilts — robbed him of his cash and dignity.
Snow cuts him down and steals his heart, only to learn that royal love isn't always easy. Especially when evil queens are involved.
The queen needs a rich husband to pay her debts. Think of it as the medieval version of an economic bailout. The fact that marrying a handsome young man supports her vanity is icing on the cake.
Of course to get the prince's full attention, Queenie must eliminate the dark-haired distraction. So she orders the death of her not-so-beloved stepdaughter and sets out to drug the prince into loving her.
Snow escapes certain death and joins with the dwarf bandits to fight the queen. A few enchanted plot contrivances later, we get our happily ever after: Snow gets her prince and the viewer gets to leave.
The biggest problem with this movie is that director Tarsem Singh (Immortals) doesn't seem to care about storytelling. His script is barely there, with dull dialog and listless pacing. It's a shame, since Singh has managed to craft one of the more visually stunning films I've seen this year.
Each frame is a painting. Locations are interesting, bold and deep. There isn't a dull spot in any frame of Singh's work, unless you're looking at the actors. The opening narration features an elegant puppet sequence that sets up the story beautifully. If only Singh had chosen to stay with inanimate objects, he could have created a masterpiece of fantasy.
But alas, we have to talk about the actors. Roberts is clearly the star of the show, with her vampy performance featuring over-the-top facial expressions and an accent that comes and goes on a whim. That would be fine, but I don't believe we're supposed to be rooting for the evil queen in a Snow White movie.
Mugging for the camera, making silly expressions and getting bopped on the head quite a lot, Armie Hammer puts in an excellent audition to be the next Brendan Fraser. Still, he's got a strong jaw and a natural charisma that make him tolerable.
The seven dwarves sparkle with unique personalities and the only funny lines in the movie. Is it creepy that one keeps hitting on the barely legal princess? Sure, but at least his motives are clear, unlike our lead.
Collins' Snow is a sweet girl who relies on placid smiles and serene beauty but has no spark of inner fire. The bad script contributes to her pale character, but Collins does not elevate her material.
This fairy tale has a rather melancholy ending, as it only entertains those too young to understand how bad the writing is. If you like exaggerated facial expressions, silly writing and bright colors, this is the flick for you. If you can convince the theater to mute the soundtrack, you'll see one of the prettiest movies of the year — in blessed silence.

Lancaster County lost a true humanitarian with the recent death of Dr. Ira Adams.
Ironically, Dr. Adams died earlier this month at his Meeting Street office, where he toiled tirelessly to help his patients have a better quality of life.
Adams enjoyed his work and had a passion for helping others, whether it was in his Lancaster office or in a foreign county.
Adams often took his practice to countries such as Mexico and Guatemala, where it was common for him to work until his supplies were exhausted.
What might have been a possible negative result with the election of Greg Gregory to the S.C. Senate has become a real positive for Lancaster County.
Last spring when Gregory was elected to the state senate, Lancaster County was able to hold its long link to the coveted seat in the state Legislature.
At the same time, Gregory, with his return to the state Senate, had to yield his post on the University of South Carolina Board of Trustees.
Efforts to reduce obesity in the U.S. are making some progress, but, as a nation we continue to pack on the pounds and put our overall health at risk.
A report out last week from the Trust For America's Health and Robert Wood Johnson Foundation noted that every state except Colorado has an obesity rate of 20 percent or more.
The Lancaster County Council of the Arts has seen a lot of changes lately.
Last month, executive director Sam Courtney, who led the council for the past six years, announced that he was resigning. This month, Debbie Jaillette stepped into the executive director's role.
The Arts Council, located in the old Springs House on Gay Street, promotes the arts in Lancaster County by providing educational opportunities for students and various programming for the general public, among other services.
Imagine looking out the window of your home and watching a drug transaction in your front yard. Imagine standing helplessly by as neighborhood thugs laugh and take your furniture from your porch. Imagine an elderly widow cowering in her living room as teens pummel her house with rocks and mock her.
You don't have to imagine these scenes. They're real. They happen almost every day in certain areas of the county, specifically the city of Lancaster.
During the final week of June in the Palmetto State, the health of a large majority of state residents was likely greatly impacted.
For sure there was sleep deprivation, not to mention some rising stress levels and skipping heartbeats.
S.C. Sen. John Courson (R-Richland County), who noted he takes blood pressure medication, said another night might likely had done him in. He added quite likely the next day would have brought a vacant senate seat in the state legislature.
We really don't need the temperature, heat index and ozone forecast to tell us it's hot. All we have to do is step outside and get slapped with heat and humidity.
Weather forecasters could just hit rewind each morning for the next couple of months. But that is to be expected because it is summer – the time of the year that allows us to do so much of what we love to do outdoors – play ball, swim, camp, cook out and much, much more.
The United States of America will celebrate its 235th birthday on the Fourth of July. And since Independence Day falls on a Monday this year, most of us will have a long weekend to enjoy the federal holiday.
The midsummer holiday commemorates the adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776, declaring America's independence from Great Britain.
It is a day of celebration, from the backyard to the pool, river or beach. Popular forms of celebration and observance include picnics, parades, cookouts, concerts, baseball games and family reunions.
Some issues we report on remind us of the arcade game, Whack-a-Mole. Take landfills, for example. This year, landfill issues have been big news in Lancaster County.
Area residents are in for a treat. In between Father's Day and the annual weekend of July Fourth celebrations is a significant date in Lancaster County.
The grand opening for the new Lancaster County Courthouse is 2 to 5 p.m Sunday.
The event is open to the public and area residents are encouraged to attend the grand opening.

Self-study vs. coaching for CET21-Mar-2016
There always seems to be a choice between self-study and coaching for competitive exams, something that rarely happens with PUC.

How to move licenses to a new server
Technote (FAQ)
How do you migrate/move IBM Rational Software license keys to a new server?
The following steps describe how to transfer your licenses to a new server.
- Log in or register to the Rational License Key Center.
- Click on the link View and return keys in the left margin.
- Click the link select to the product.
- Click the button Return next to the licenses that you want to move to a new Rational License Key server (RLKS).
These steps return the license keys created for the old server to the Rational License Key Center.
Now you can generate new license keys for these licenses using the host details of the new server (RLKS).
- The return operation returns the total quantity of license keys to the available pool.
For example, You have a key with a quantity of 10 and you want to return 3 back to the available pool. If you click the Return button, you return the key for all 10 licenses. Therefore, you would then need create a license key for the 7 licenses that continue to be hosted by the original server and a license key for 3 licenses that will be hosted by the new server.
- By returning the keys back to the available pool, you tell IBM Rational that you no longer use the actual license keys that you downloaded. To ensure your host computers have the same keys and quantities as the License Key Center shows, follow the guidelines below.
FLEXlm keys
- If you returned FLEXlm keys and no longer have any keys on that host, remove the keys.
For Windows delete the files:
\Program Files\Rational\Common\rational_*.dat (for RLKS v7.0.1 and earlier )
\Program Files\IBM\RationalSDLC\Common\rational_*.dat ( for RLKS v7.1 )
\Program Files\IBM\RationalRLKS\Common\rational_*.dat ( for RLKS v8.1.x )
For Linux and UNIX remove the Rational keys from the files:
/config/license.dat .
- If you returned FLEXlm keys that were assigned to a specific host, but you still have one or more keys registered to that host, you need to download and import an updated license file for that host. To do so:
- Click View keys by host from the left navigation bar.
- Click the host name from the list.
- Click the View Details button.
- Click the Download Keys button.
- Rename or Remove above mentioned existing license files (example: \Program Files\IBM\RationalRLKS\Common\rational_server_perm.dat), import the license.upd or license.dat file with the IBM Rational License Key Administrator (LKAD) on the host machine.
- Click View keys by host from the left navigation bar.
Classic ClearCase keys
If you returned classic IBM Rational ClearCase keys, you need to remove the license strings. These licence strings are associated with the keys, that you returned from the file.
Once you have returned the license keys:
- Click on the link "Get keys".
- Select the product by clicking on the link.
- Mark the check box next to the licenses you want to generate for the new server.
- Click the button "Generate".
- Enter the quantity of licenses you want generate for the new server.
- Write the host information of the new server machine.
- From the drop down menu select whether you use an existing host or not.
- From the second drop down menu, select whether you are using MAC Address or Disk ID number. In most cases the Disk ID is the best choice.
- For a Single Server, only complete the first part of the form.
For a Redundant Server, complete the whole form.
- When you entered the correct Host ID and Host name, click the button Generate.
- Now you can download the license key file and save it to a new RLKS machine.
- Rename or Remove above mentioned existing license files (example: \Program Files\IBM\RationalRLKS\Common\rational_server_perm.dat), then import the newly generated key file by using the Rational License Key Administrator (LKAD).
Note on evaluation and temporary keys:
For evaluation keys or temporary keys, you do not need to follow the previous steps.
The reason is that these license keys have the host id: ANY; therefore, you can use the keys on any single server computer.
Important: Evaluation or temporary keys are not suitable for redundant server configurations.
Client configuration
To configure the Common Licensing FLEXlm clients to obtain license keys from the new license server, review technote 1117710: How to point to a Rational License Server to get licenses.
Eclipse based products will have to go through the IBM Installation Manager > Manage Licenses to point to the new license server, if FLEXlm Floating User licenses are used. (When using an activation kit this step is not required).
Maintenance agreements versus licenses
A license purchase and it's use are independent of any maintenance agreement for the software concerned. If the maintenance agreement expired you will still be allowed to use the product, be it only for the software version that was released during the time the software was under an active maintenance agreement . In your License Key Center you will only find license keys for software versions that were released during your active maintenance agreement. You are allowed and able to create / migrate / use license keys for the software (versions) you purchased and downloaded during your maintenance window.

The Campaign to Promote Civic Education
I know of no safe depository of the ultimate powers of the society but the people themselves; and if we think them not enlightened enough to exercise their control with a wholesome discretion, the remedy is not to take it from them, but to inform their discretion.
Thomas Jefferson (1820)
The Campaign to Promote Civic Education effort is a fifty-state campaign (including the District of Columbia) aimed at restoring the civic mission of our nation's schools by encouraging states and school districts to devote sustained and systematic attention to civic education from kindergarten through twelfth grade. The Center's Campaign to Promote Civic Education is affiliated with the Civic Mission of the Schools Campaign (CMS). The campaigns share the common goal of improving civic education policy and practice. For more information, please contact Mark Molli and John Hale.

"Soledad O'Brien Presents Black in America" will be held at 5 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 20, in the Baker University Center Ballroom.
Photographer: Fran Roberts
Feb 6, 2014
From staff reports
Award-winning journalist Soledad O'Brien will be visiting Ohio University this month as part of a multi-city speaking tour.
Sponsored by the Scripps College of Communication, the E.W. Scripps School of Journalism and the School of Communication Studies, O'Brien is bringing the conversation to Ohio with her critically-acclaimed series "Soledad O'Brien Presents Black in America," Thursday, Feb. 20, at 5 p.m. in the fourth-floor Baker University Center Ballroom. The town-hall event is free and open to the public. The Athens event will be her only stop in Ohio.
"When my colleague Justice Hill first told me we might be able to bring Soledad O'Brien to campus, I realized it was a great opportunity for the journalism faculty and our students to be part of this conversation," said Robert Stewart, director of the E.W. Scripps School of Journalism.
O'Brien is hosting town-hall conversations throughout February – Black History Month – to share her own professional and life experiences with the audience and host a panel discussion. The tour is an extension of her "Black in America" series, which premiered on CNN in 2008 as a multi-part series of documentaries covering issues, challenges and culture of African Americans across the country.
The interactive event at OHIO will feature an audio/visual presentation and local panelists from the University and surrounding community and will also include audience participation. According to her publicist, O'Brien will draw the audience into a complex and nuanced discussion about what ails or excites their community as it confronts social change.
"We're pleased to be able to host this event to continue a very important national discussion," said Scripps College of Communication Dean Scott Titsworth. "Part of our onus to communication students is to provide them with the experiences and discussions that will help them to not only define the ways in which our society consumes media but also the cultural landscape in which media is produced. This event will benefit these students and the university and local community in myriad ways."
A public reception will be held following the event at 7 p.m. in the Multi-purpose Room of the Multicultural Center on the second floor of Baker University Center.
Additional sponsors include Ohio University's Office for Diversity and Inclusion, the Department of African American Studies, the Office of Multicultural Programs and the Multicultural Center. The reception is cosponsored by the Campus Involvement Center and the Black Student Cultural Programming Board.

Smith got into hot water with the feds after he was busted in an undercover sting operation trying to bribe his way on to the Republican Primary ballot in the 2013 mayor's race. But at a debate last week at a church in Jamaica, Smith was given two minutes to address his legal issues and said not only was he innocent, but he was just a pawn in part of a larger plot to gentrify southeast Queens.
Smith is just one of several African-American elected officials to run afoul of the law recently, a list that includes Brooklyn state senators Carl Krueger and John Sampson and former Smith colleague Shirley Huntley, a former Queens state senator who is now in jail.
But at last week's debate, Smith said they were all part of a larger plot to wrest control of southeast Queens away from current residents as part of a larger gentrification plan and ultimately big-time real estate development.
The best part is that in January, the sinister plot – including the mastermind – will all be revealed in exacting detail when Smith heads back before a judge, Smith promised last week. Of course, Smith couldn't offer up much more detail than that – delicate legal matters and all, of course – so like you, we'll have just have to be on the edges of our seats for the next five months.
In the meantime, we can waste our days speculating on just who this mastermind is.

Genetic ownership and sharing
Candice Lee de Carvalho
MSc (Med) Bioethics and Health Law
The body is a source of instrumental value to others. It provides organs, tissues, gametic materials and cells that can sometimes have life-saving benefits to patients and benefits to physicians and researchers, in addition.
For this reason, society has approved (with some debate) the acquisition of these materials in various ways. This may be through gifts and donations, such as of blood, marrow, organs and sperm and through the sale of hair, sperm and blood (Campbell 1992:36). However, what has become a major debate is how DNA can, and if it ought to be commoditised; and how and if individuals can keep their genetic information private, or whether it ought to be shared with all.
The rise of genetic research and information has transformed how scientists study, diagnose and analyse disease. Molecular- level information would have been unthinkable 100 years ago. From the time that Watson and Crick discovered the structure of DNA in 1953, the race was on to discover the genetic code.
This was achieved in 2003 and now the function of every part of the genome is the main concern of those wanting to advance genetic breakthroughs even further.
This revolution in medicine - molecular genetics - has not only transformed the way that diseases are diagnosed, but also how they are treated.
Biotechnological advances in human genome mapping, so-called predictability 'or susceptibility testing, heritage testing, biobanking, pharmacogenomics, reproductive technologies and novel diagnostic techniques have transformed access to genetic information. Along with this accessibility come complicated ethical questions of access to and storage of information, security thereof, privacy, consent and, the focus of this article, ownership.
Genetic information
Genetic information broadly refers to all of the currently known genetic data for all living organisms. It can also refer to the genetic composition of one individual and their families.
Many individuals express concern that a positive finding on a genetic screening test will result in discrimination and stigmatisation because they are out of the norm. Another concern raised is that the release of genetic information may result in an individual's loss, for example, of the inability to get insurance, or employment if genetic information crosses into the public domain (Orentlicher 1990: 1005).
Nowadays, genetic information is used not only in the doctor's office, but also beyond. For example, genetic information in a variety of forms is found in courts of law as a way of proving or disproving paternity, determining immigration status, in criminal cases involving genetic materials, by the military for soldier identification purposes and by medical aids and other insurance companies.
Genetic information is seen as different from other biological tissues in that it potentially involves more "broad-ranging features of an individuals' health status" and carries implications for relatives (Skene 2002: 49, Gillet and McKergow 2007: 2094). Within the ambit of health and wellness, genetic information is being used in reproductive and fertility health, disease diagnosis and treatment, epidemiological studies, bioinformatics and pharma-cogenomics.
The complex questions about who ought to benefit and about how individuals, families and communities can be protected against harms are most pressing at this time.
Genetic exceptionalism
Despite that the gifting and sale of certain parts of the body has become a (debatably) acceptable practice in some parts of society, such as through organ donation, blood donation, sperm donation, ovum selling, selling of breast milk and the like, there has been an attitude of what is termed "exceptionalism" regarding genetic information. This is most likely due to the 'mystique' around genetics, since the concepts can be highly abstract and difficult to understand, but there also tends to be much suspicion about the nature and power of the contents of genetic information.
Some arguments for and against genetic exceptionalism
The arguments for classifying genetic information as exceptional are generally grounded in the belief that genetic information is uniquely sensitive information owing to its "prophetic, predictive, shared and symbolic nature" (McGuire et al. 2008: 500).
The most obvious example of this is that of the genetic relationship between monozygotic twins. Since they share such a high percentage of their genetic makeup, if the one were to discover a deleterious mutation, it would be highly likely that the other twin would have it as well. As familial relationships move further apart (genetically), this probability decreases, but the information may nevertheless be relevant to family members and therefore affect decisions that they make about their healthcare, and in some cases, reproductive choices. This is because an individual receives not only information relating directly to her, but she also receives the genetic history of her family or in some instances, her extended family (husband, mother-in-law, father-inlaw). Thus, the argument goes, genetic information should be considered as exceptional. It has been argued that genetic information thus should be offered to all family members as they have a 'right to know' (O'Neill 2001: 703-704).
On the other hand, it may be argued that genetic information is neither "exceptional nor ethically different from other medical information" (Murray 1997: 63). Murray argues that there are medical issues such as elevated cholesterol or exposure to an infectious disease that perhaps ought to be shared with family members as well.
There may also be an argument for sharing of information for public health benefit and so, the age old tension between individual rights and legitimate public health needs arises.
Ownership of genetic information
Since genetics touches so intimately on an individual's life, as does any other health-related information, it is often thought of as falling into a property "paradigm" since individuals tend to think of themselves as proprietors of their genetic material (Andrews 1986: 29; de Witter and ten Have 1997: 51; Gillert and McKergow 2007: 2095; Campbell 1992: 40).
In their discussion on ownership of genetic material and information, de Witte and ten Have (1997) identified a few possible owners:
a) the individual with the particular genome;
b) the scientist or company that discovered the particular genes or nucleotide sequences;
c) humankind in general (as noted in the UNESCO declaration).
I would add another category: a group of people who happen to share an identical set of specific nucleotides for a sequence in question.
In order to discuss the issue of genetic ownership, a deeper debate arises: can a person justifiably make the claim to be owners of themselves?
Despite the strong intuition that a person is the owner of themselves, there is little principled moral argumentation to prove that people are indeed in possession of rights of self-ownership. In spite of this, there are strong legal and legal-ethical arguments that uphold individual liberty, freedom, autonomy and dignity aimed to protect the individual from intrusions on or into her body (bodily integrity).
The philosopher, Immanuel Kant argues that people ought to be treated as ends in themselves (not used). They are ends in themselves because they are rational beings that have inherent worth and dignity. Because of their intrinsic value, they are deserving of respect at all times. This respect is to be applied by a person towards his- or herself as well as towards others.
In applying this respect, some of the principles of individual liberty are protected by this principle of ends. On the other hand, freedoms that constitute an indignity towards self and others, such as commoditisation (selling) of the body, are prohibited by this view.
Kant's views against self-ownership are underpinned by the principle of respect for persons, a privilege of man by way of his humanity. Taylor (2004: 71) explains Kant's position writing, "In MM [Metaphysics of Morals], Kant asserts that someone can be his own master but cannot be the owner of himself (cannot dispose of himself as he pleases) - still less can he dispose of others as he please -since he is accountable to the humanity in his own person."
Since, the principle of self-ownership allows actions such as self-mutilation and suicide and asserts that the individual is the final arbiter over herself; it is against the principle of treating oneself with dignity, according to Kant.
Robert Nozick (1974), a libertarian who argues for self-ownership, borrows from Kant to argue that as humans with inherent value and dignity we ought to have the right to freedom and from John Locke to argue that we ought to have the right to private property.
Where Kant and Nozick agree is that a person should never be treated merely as a means to an end. On the issue of how a person should treat themselves, Nozick believes that that is a matter of personal liberty and that the person should be able to make their decisions without outside interference - that is, they are self owners and free to choose how they treat themselves. Kant, in fact shares the belief in personal liberty. He sees voluntariness and freedom from interference as essential to autonomy. Where they disagree is on the matter of respecting oneself and what that respect means; that is, what dignity means. Kant believes that people have a duty to respect themselves as much as they do to respect others.
If Kant, who argued for individual freedom, autonomy and choice as well as for respect for humanity, were present in today's world, how would he view ownership of genetic information and the exceptionalism debate? It is difficult to imagine how he would apply these moral principles to sharing, or not sharing information and owning or not owning it.
If we were to create a maxim that said, "One should always offer to disclose one's genetic information to family members or relevant others" I would consider this right and appropriate, and I think Kant would agree as I would be demonstrating my duty to respect myself and for others. It shows Kant's concept of autonomy as the principle of morality.
On the other hand, if we were to create a maxim that said, "One should always disclose one's genetic information." I would hesitate to act on this maxim. While the principle of respect for persons denies that a person can be a self owner, it also implies that we have autonomy, freedom and choice -individual freedoms are still upheld.
Moreover, and in a different perspective, the concept of sharing or providing one's genetic information per se may not be the real issue at hand. Sometimes, benefits may have to be weighed against harms and perhaps the concept of dignity needs to be re-evaluated.
If, for example, gene patenting does not diminish a person's freedom, autonomy or rational will but does provide much-needed research for significant global health benefits, and if those health benefits can be distributed evenly among the rich and poor, then there are some powerful moral arguments in favour of the practice. However, since there is a disparate distribution of goods and harms globally and commercial ends are seldom in pursuit of equality, patenting may be wrong, but not for reasons of genetic self-ownership.
It may well be, that the intense desire that most people have to control their genetic information is not because they feel they have a philosophical attachment to their information, but rather that they fear the negative outcomes they may experience if they lose control over that information. It may well be that in a world with less stigmatisation or fairer systems, people would be more willing to share and that may well be the right thing to do.

Star Wars is an epic space opera franchise conceived by George Lucas. The first film in the franchise was originally released on May 25, 1977, by 20th Century Fox, and became a worldwide pop culture phenomenon, spawning two immediate sequels, released at three-year intervals. Sixteen years after the release of the trilogy's final film, the first in a new prequel trilogy of films was released, again released at three-year intervals, with the final film released on May 19, 2005.
As of 2008, the overall box office revenue generated by the six Star Wars films has totalled approximately $4.3 billion, making it the third-highest-grossing film series, behind only the James Bond and Harry Potter films.
The Star Wars film series has spawned other media including books, television series, video games, and comic books. These supplements to the film trilogies comprise the Star Wars Expanded Universe, and have resulted in significant development of the series' fictional universe. These media kept the franchise going in the interim between the film trilogies. In 2008, Star Wars: The Clone Wars was released to theaters as the first ever worldwide theatrical Star Wars film outside of the main trilogies. It was the franchise's first animated film, and was intended as an introduction to the Expanded Universe series of the same name, a 3D CGI animated series based on a previous 2D animated series of a similar name.

Getting started with baby massage
Baby massage is soothing and can comfortably last 10-30 minutes. Before starting, make sure the room is warm and your baby is quiet, well-rested and alert. Good times to perform massage on your baby include after a nap, when your baby is clothed or in the cot, and after a bath.
To get started, smooth a few drops of a suitable baby massage oil or moisturiser into your warm hands and begin massaging the soles of your baby's feet. Use firm, gentle, slow strokes from the heel towards the toes. Always keep one hand on your baby while massaging. Some babies might be sensitive to some oils. Look for any sign of an allergic reaction, and see your GP immediately if you're worried.
- Pour drops of baby massage oil or moisturiser on your warm hands and massage the soles of your baby's feet using firm, gentle, slow strokes beginning from the heel towards the toes, with one hand on your baby. Use a suitable oil as babies could be sensitive to certain oils. Notify your pediatrician if an allergic reaction occurs.
- Massage the baby with long smooth strokes up its legs, then from the ankle to the thigh and above the hip. Based on your preference, you may massage one or both legs at once. Avoid genital area massage. Hold the baby's leg under the knee and gently push it towards the stomach for the baby to expel gas.
Massaging baby's upper body
Start the upper body massage with your hands on your baby's shoulders. Make gentle strokes in towards the chest.
Massage baby's arms by stroking from the shoulders down towards the wrists. Try not to get oil on your baby's hands. If this happens, wipe his fingers clean before he sucks them.
If your baby's tummy feels soft (not hard or full), massage his belly using circular, clockwise strokes. Babies' tummies are sensitive, so if he gets unsettled, move on to the next step. Avoid massaging the belly button area if the cord hasn't completely healed.
Massaging baby's face and back
Use your fingertips to massage your baby's face. Stroke from the middle of her forehead, down the outside of her face and in towards her cheeks. With your fingertips, massage the scalp in small circles as if you're shampooing her hair.
If your baby is still relaxed once you've finished massaging the front of her body, you can turn her onto her tummy and use long, smooth strokes from head to toe.
Use respectful touch and stop the massage if your baby isn't enjoying herself or seems uncomfortable. It's also best to avoid a massage if you're very tense, or if your baby is upset.

Boy, I haven't posted a Bachelor dinner for a while!
But all the recent bachelor dinners have been Jambalaya. There's only so many times I can post that recipe.
Recently we were visiting family in Wisconsin, and I was called upon to make Guacamole.
When I was doing that, I was reminded I haven't made any Mexican dishes for ages.
So for this Bachelor Dinner, I decided to dig waaaaay back into my past, and make chicken in a tomatillo sauce. And by way back, we're talking nearly prehistoric, late-1980s, when I first discovered Diana Kennedy's "Art of Mexican Cooking". I probably made this as a dinner special when I was working as a manager at Pasqual's in Madison, Wisconsin.
This dish, with its sweet-sour, spicy sauce, when served with corn tortillas and garnished with feta cheese and cilantro is truly one of my favorite flavor combinations. Hard to beat, and the leftovers, (should there be any,) make great enchiladas.
Chicken in a Tomatillo Sauce with Chipotle Peppers
8 Pieces Chicken Leg and/or Thighs (you could also use chicken breasts, but why would you?)
2 TBSP Olive (or other) oil
1 Pound Tomatillos, husks removed and rinsed
1 can Chipotle en Adobo
3 Cloves Garlic
1/2 White Onion, halved
2 TBSP Pepitas (hulled Pumpkin seeds) toasted and ground
Chicken Stock (maybe)
Honey or Sugar (maybe)
Cilantro, Picked and Chopped
Feta Cheese (or queso blanco)
Corn Tortillas
You can go two ways with the Tomatillos. Either poach them or roast them. If you are a traditionalist, a la Diana Kennedy, you will probably poach them. If you are a modern cook, a la Rick Bayless, you will probably roast them. Either way, you want them to be poached or roasted until they feel like little water balloons. They will probably not all reach this state at the same time, so remove them carefully from the water or oven as they cook, and add them to a blender or food processor. If you let them go too long, they will split. Not horrible, but you're either losing flavor into your poaching liquid or messing up your roasting pan. No disrespect to Ms. Kennedy, I roasted them in a pre-heated cast iron pan.
If you are roasting, also include your garlic and onion in the pan. Turn as you do the tomatillos, and remove last after all the tomatillos are cooked through. Add the onion to the blender. Peel the garlic and add it to the blender. Open the can of Chiles en Adobo and grab 3-6, depending on your preference for Spiciness. Chop them roughly and add them to the blender. Add the Ground Pumpkin seeds. Pulse until well pureed. You may need to add chicken stock, if it is particularly dry (unlikely).
While the vegetables are cooking start another straight sided saute pan over medium heat. When it is hot, add the oil. Brown the Chicken on all sides and remove from the pan. Turn off the heat, but leave the oil in the pan. (It should be noted, that in traditional Mexican cooking, with its lack of oil and appropriate cookware, you would not brown the chicken.)
If your saute pan has cooled, turn the heat back on and pour the tomatillo sauce into the pan. Heat briefly and check the seasonings. If it is too tart, add some sweetener. You will need to add a fair bit of salt, as the sauce up to this point is only vegetables. Add chicken to sauce, cover, and cook at a low heat until done, turning the chicken from time to time.
When chicken is done, remove from sauce and place in warmed serving bowl. Turn the heat on the sauce up to high and reduce until the liquid level is similar to apple juice. Pour over Chicken. Garnish with Cilantro and crumbled Feta Cheese. Serve with Corn Tortillas and a side dish.
Serves 4 with a side dish.

Hollywood Culture vs. Internet Culture: Jonathan Coulton Joins the Glee Club
The TV Show Glee is about a cute group of high school underdogs, who sing sparkly cover songs while dancing through the cafeteria.
But there's another Glee club forming, whose members have no say in joining. They're a ragtag group of underdog musicians who've found their arrangements of cover songs appearing in the hit show without their permission or credit of any kind. One member of this club is independent musician Jonathan Coulton. He's is the Internet's take on a rock star. He was also a recent judge of our Birthday Song contest, and he's currently hosting a highly successful Code Monkey comic book Kickstarter campaign.
For this May's edition of The Organist podcast from Believer Magazine & KCRW, I've produced a story about what's become known as #backgate. It begins about 8 minutes into the program, wedged between James Franco (!) and Tao Lin (!).

Grilled Tomato Basil Chicken Wrap with Bacon
Now, let's get to buildin' a wrap!
First, douse both sides of a 4 ounce boneless, skinless chicken breast with Mrs. Dash Tomato, Basil and Garlic Seasoning Blend. Then cut one strip of bacon in half ... well I cut it in half so it fits nicely on my tabletop grill. So pull out your George Foreman grill (don't cha just love that thing?) or a stovetop grill if George doesn't grace your kitchen, and put 'em both on there. Grill until chicken is cooked through and the bacon is the way ya like it.
Stir a teaspoon of light mayo with some Tiger sauce (or other hot sauce) and spread it on top of a spinach tortilla. You'll need to leave a border around the edge through all of the layering for folding and rolling the tortilla up.
Shred some lettuce and spread that on top. I used red leaf here.
Take two thick slices of red onion and spread them on top of the lettuce.
Slice up 1/4 of a tomato and spread that around on top.
Slice the chicken breast and add that.
Break the bacon up and add that to the top.
Sprinkle the shredded cheese on top of that.
Top with salsa.
Fold the right and the left sides in toward the middle and around the filling; then fold the bottom up toward the center and begin to roll the tortilla up, rolling it away from you toward the top and tucking the filling in as you go if it begins to squeeze out of the top. Sorry I couldn't snap a picture of this step, but it's pretty much a two-handed process, so I didn't have a free hand. And I was gettin' hungry by this time. So I was in a hurry. Roll it all the way up to look like a burrito.
Cut in half at an angle and enjoy!

When people ask me what my least favorite color is to paint walls I almost always say red. I just have never been a fan, particularly of cranberry. It always feels dated to me. Except all of the sudden I feel the tide changing. For example, a couple episodes ago I was watching Downton Abbey and when this scene came on in a bright, crisp red room with white trim and gilt frame paintings I gasped. Literally. It was so stunning!
It got me thinking- I love coral and pink walls of any shade so why not red? When the right shade is in play in the right rooms, I actually find myself drawn to red now. I prefer brighter reds with more orange tones to them for a more modern, bold feel as opposed to deep, dusty colonial-looking shades. Here are some rooms I'm liking the use of red in!
(I love red paired with turquoise. It's such a modern coupling.)
To be fair, I've never disliked a hint of red in interiors- like killer red velvet sofas for example:
In my attempt to make peace with red walls, here are some of my favorite red paints in a variety of tones:
Try pairing these reds with light violet, pink or turquoise for a modern pairing!
Do you have a color you have always disliked in homes? What is it?

Broward High Schools
American Heritage faces another tough test in Daytona Mainland
7:30 p.m., Friday.
American Heritage put together one of its toughest schedules in school history in the hopes of contending for the Class 5A state championship.
This week, the Patriots face one of their tougher challenges in Daytona Beach's top team. The Buccaneers have an explosive offense led by senior running back Trey Rodriguez that has put up big numbers and is complemented by a solid defense.
Mainland enters the game ranked No. 5 in Class 6A. Its last experience against a South Florida team came against Miami Central in the Class 6A regional finals in 2011, a game the Bucs lost 17-7.
American Heritage brings its solid group of athletes and one of the best rushing offenses in the county.
With starting quarterback Torrance Gibson out, the Patriots relied on backup Brandon Vicens in a 20-0 win against Chaminade last week. Vicens is one of the team's best linebackers, and that's where he can be a big help.
Heritage can use this game to get ready for its huge district clash with Miami Jackson — the team that has knocked the Pats out of the playoffs each of the past two seasons.
If Sony Michel, Isaiah McKenzie, Juwan Dowels and others can make some big plays, Heritage should roll into the Jackson game on a four-game winning streak.
Prediction: American Heritage 38, Mainland 31.
7 p.m. Friday.
Cypress Bay went home reeling after a costly district loss to Flanagan last week.
The Lightning turned the ball over three times and Flanagan took advantage, outscoring it 29-2 in the second half.
Cypress Bay potentially faces elimination this early in a tough District 12-8A race that will likely require it to win every district game it has remaining.
Everglades, a young team in its first year under veteran coach Art Taylor, opened its district schedule with a win over Western last week. The Gators are starting to show glimpses of Taylor's typically strong defensive teams.
The Gators are hoping to secure a signature victory at Cypress Bay's expense this week if they can continue this progression.
But they're facing a desperate Lightning squad. .
Before things fell apart for Cypress Bay last week, Dylan Rupert led a typically strong rushing effort. If the Lightning can get off to another strong start, don't expect it to collapse.
Prediction: Cypress Bay 21, Everglades 17.
7 p.m., Friday.
Monarch entered the season with hopes of challenging for a playoff berth in District 11-8A.
Monarch has been led on offense by quarterback Michael Harris (70 of 100, 1,334 yards, 11 touchdowns and only one interception) and running backs Calvin Ridley, Cavari Morris and Tyron Woods, who have combined for 708 yards rushing.
Ridley has been a force in the passing game with 18 receptions for 574 yards and three touchdowns.
So far the Knights have put together complete efforts, shutting out three of their first four opponents. But a road trip to Parkland to face a much-improved Douglas squad should provide a good early test.
The Eagles lost their first game last week, but put together a solid performance against a Deerfield Beach squad poised to contend for the Class 8A title this season.
But Monarch appears ready to show how legit it has become with each passing week as prepares to enter the heart of its district schedule.
Prediction: Monarch 34, Douglas 33.

Hospital: Teen who was shot at Colo. school dies
LITTLETON, Colo. – A Colorado hospital says a suburban Denver high school student has died more than a week after being shot by a classmate who then killed himself.
Seventeen-year-old Claire Davis had been in critical condition after being shot at point-blank range at Arapahoe High School on Dec. 13. Friends and well-wishers had been posting prayers online and raising money to help pay for her medical care.
Arapahoe County Sheriff Grayson Robinson says Davis appeared to be a random target.
Authorities say 18-year-old Karl Pierson was likely targeting a librarian who had disciplined him when he entered the school with a shotgun, a machete and three Molotov cocktails. Robinson says Pierson shot Davis before killing himself. The librarian escaped the school unharmed.

Tagged: Fox News Channel
4-13-11 Fox News
I was interviewed on Fox News regarding the Youtube video that I filmed on Saturday.
Around 9:15 AM, a limo picked me up at work. Amy came along too to share in the experience. Here I am, in the limo, feeling a bit nervous.
I would be live to the entire nation in about a half hour.
We arrived at the downtown Fox News Pittsburgh studio and were told where to go.
I also got an earpiece put in my right ear, as the camera man told me how to work the volume.
I couldn't hear the producer from New York very well, so I jammed my earpiece in, and turned up the volume as high as it would go.
After one final adjustment to my microphone, we would be ready to go.
Amy sat to my side, just off camera. It was nice to have her there. It made me feel less nervous to have some support.
The interview itself was a blur. The producer told me to animated and energetic. He told me to pretend like I just had lots of caffeine.
Martha MacCallum from America's Newsroom interviewed me live on the air. Fox News showed the video, and then Martha began interviewing me. She basically asked me what I saw and what led up to the tasering and beating of the man in the USA Jacket. It seemed like the interview was over rather quickly. Overall, I was pleased with how it went.
Afterwards, Amy and I were taken back to my work by the limo.
