Clinton's big speech a mystery
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — He's likable enough.
Barack Obama, in one of his more revealing public moments in 2008, expressed that sentiment about another Clinton. It also sums up, more or less, the way the current occupant of the White House feels about the last Democratic president to win reelection, William Jefferson Clinton.
Story Continued Below
When the pair gets together the former president does much of the talking, to Obama's occasional annoyance. But it's Obama who asks for all the favors.
BFFs they are not and probably never will be. But after a troubled beginning, the collaboration seems to be working. The two presidents have spoken a few times in the past few months, sources said.
( Also on POLITICO: Full coverage of the DNC)
And Clinton's big Wednesday night speech here, a prime-time slot usually reserved for the vice president, will be the most closely watched address of the three-day convention, second only to Obama's stadium speech a night later. Its success is critical for Obama, a deeply polarizing candidate who badly needs his more conservative predecessor's clout as a validator among independent voters turned off by massive government spending.
The Rev. Jesse Jackson, who described the Obama-Clinton relationship as one with "up-and-down" moments, conceded the two probably don't "watch ballgames together" even after their rapprochement. But he said their relationship is mutually beneficial, as the aftermath of the 2010 earthquake in Haiti shows.
"When the Haiti crisis came, he made Bill his spokesperson in a high-profile situation, and over time he has continued to give Clinton access to him. … So, at its root, there's a huge respect for each other. … Both of them gain from the relationship, and I think it's wholesome. At least they're not contesting each other publicly."
( PHOTOS: Scenes from the Democratic convention)
Clinton — fiercely resistant to playing the marionette for any candidate, even his wife — seems more willing to follow the Obama script this time. He's likely to include a passionate rebuttal of Mitt Romney's claim that Obama is quietly rolling back Clinton's landmark 1996 welfare reform bill, according to two Democrats close to the situation.
But true to form, Clinton, who was nearly booed off the stage during a rambling keynote at the 1988 convention, is working on the draft himself, in his chaotic longhand scrawl. The Obama team has been gently suggesting talking points — namely the bonds of competence that span the two Democrats over the Bush administration's chasm of ineptitude.
Clinton is not even expected to submit a draft to his designated contact on the Obama campaign, senior campaign strategist David Axelrod, until shortly before showtime, several Democrats tell POLITICO. This is not an easy dynamic for an Obama campaign that insists on tight message control, but it's par for the Clinton course — and as in golf, the former president bends the rules.
( PHOTOS: Bill Clinton's career)
In 2008 — a much more strained convention for the two camps — Obama's team insisted on seeing the speech, and it got it less than two hours before Clinton spoke.
This time, Chicago has few illusions of controlling Clinton — and Clinton's top advisers are wary of Obama's staff overusing the former president as a surrogate and fundraiser. Clinton's team has committed to a succession of big-money events on behalf of Obama and the super PAC that supports him, Priorities USA Action.
But it hasn't acceded to all requests made by Obama's camp for new appearances. Clinton's team will book his fall schedule after the convention, when Clinton can weigh it against his philanthropic commitments, people familiar with the situation say.

Why do I sell soap of all things?????
I sell soaps!
What is wrong with me? I sell soaps!!! What caused me to do such a silly thing as that? After all, you can buy soaps so cheap at the store, so what's the point?
I thought about that for a very long time. It didn't seem feasible to sell soap.
It all started out with a novel that I wrote awhile back (unpublished, but based on a real events). I minor character in the novel was an older woman who was doing whatever it took to survive the civil war in El Salvador in the 1980s. Part of her method to survive was to make and sell soaps. The catch was that she made a point of praying over each and every soap that she made...prayers of peace, prayers of healing, prayers of repentance, justice and redemption, prayers for miracles. She used the power of prayer and intercession, using her soap as a catalyst, infusing each bar with the Holy Spirit that would affect the recipient or anyone who used the soap. Amazing miracles occurred and people sought after her soaps. It was "The Soapmaker's" way of contributing.
The character of The Soapmaker did not make past my first draft unfortunately and I grieved the loss of that character even though I knew that I had made the right decision for this particular story. I could not let her drift off into oblivion however. I needed to keep this character alive and began to learn how to make soap and emulate this character. Yes, I know this sounds a lot like what is on my actual profile, just a little more explanatory.
That is how I started making soaps and selling them.
No, they aren't as cheap as the stuff you buy in the stores, but they are MUCH better quality. There aren't additives and chemicals that cause skin irritation and itching. The best thing about my soaps are that they come with the added blessings of prayer over each and every item...just like "The Soapmaker" in the story.
I hope that God blesses my endeavor...I am barely a year into it and it has been a bit of a struggle. There HAVE been some positive reports on the use of my soaps and some have truly felt that God has had a hand in their lives as a result of the intercession.
You may visit my shop online at jabon.etsy.com where they are for sale.
Please feel free to check my other sites at:
I also belong to CAST: A group of Christian Artists and Artisans who believe Etsy is a great place to buy and sell handcrafted, family friendly items. To see items made by CAST memebers please type "castteam" in the search bar on the home page.
If you are not familiar with etsy.com it is a website that has thousands of sellers and buyers interested in either selling or buying handmade items. It is sort've like going to a largest arts and crafts fair in the world!!!
And in a sense, it is! Because there are folks from all over the world that sell on etsy. If you like one of a kind handmade items created from the heart instead of a machine, you'll love looking at etsy!

The Alcan Highway
Have you ever driven the Alcan Highway? Ever heard of it?
It is that highway that takes you to Alaska. Most of it is unpaved and it is a very long 2 lane road.
The Alcan starts at Dawson Creek in northern Canada and takes straight into Alaska. Of course, if you live in the "lower 48" states of the U.S. just getting to the start of the Alcan can be a long trip in itself. Basically, you have the travel the entire length of British Columbia just to get to the beginning of the Alcan.
The Alcan is beautiful, a bit wild and it is a bit of a culture shock for most lower 48ers. You meet some wonderfully friendly Canadians along the way.The only major town after Dawson Creek is a place called Whitehorse in the Yukon Territory, which is hundreds of miles past Dawson Creek. There are a few small towns in between. Be careful you don't blink though, otherwise you may miss them. Always stop for gas when you get about a 1/2 tank of gas. You never know when you'll come across a gas station next time.
You will get to see some amazing critters most of the time. Moose are fairly common, and it isn't all that uncommon to see a bear or two either. Please don't stop nearby them to take a close up picture. Bears really hate that. (No, I don't speak from experience!)
Most folk travel the Alcan in the summertime because that is generally when people come to visit Alaska. It's warmer then...duh! They get to put up with dirt and gravel roads, chipped windshields, mud and mosquitos...and mosquitos...and mosquitos.
It's at this point that I would HIGHLY recommend that you use some handmade soap with bug be gone ingredients in it if you ever plan to make such a trip. I DO make those during the summer months. They really are helpful.
Actually, the summer months are NOT my favorite time to travel the Alcan highway. I actually prefer the wintertime...YES, I said wintertime! Road conditions are easier to travel then, nice, solid road. It is generally cold enough that you don't need to worry about the roads being overly slippery and the road is VERY well sanded. Yes, it is cold, so be prepared to bring survival gear with you should you choose to travel in winter. Plan you trip to ensure that you can stop at night in a nice warm motel. Winterize your car and make sure you have some sort of heater for your engine. If there is no place to plug in your car at night to keep it warm, you may have to leave the engine running all night if the weather is getting more than 20 below zero which is very typical.
My first trip to Alaska, I travelled by car in January of 1973. It most certainly was an adventure for me. Especially since I was from southern California and had barely ever been OUT of California. However, the trip was beginning to wear thin by the time I reached the Alaskan border. I cried when I saw the temperature posted on the building at the border shack... it was 68 BELOW ZERO...and that did not include the wind chill factor. That was something I learned about from hard knock experience at that time. The wind was blowing nastily, causing your body to feel that it was an equivalent to 100 below zero. The border patrol guy told me that. That's when I began to cry. He said to get thee to Tok Junction and hole up for the night please. NO PROBLEM!!! I AM OUTTA HERE!
Welcome to Alaska!

Lots of people have been to Alaska. They go up there on one of those cool cruises, fly, some even drive. They look at all the beauty and the sense of untamed territory that Alaska has to offer for a week or two, maybe even a month and then, they leave after taking tons of photos, buying moose dropping earrings for souvenirs (I've never actually SEEN ANYONE wearing those things), T-shirts, sweatshirts and who knows what else.
That's your tourist group.
Then, there are those folk that are part of the military and are stationed in Alaska. They bring their families with them, move on the base and live there until they get stationed somewhere else.
That's your military group.
Then there are those folk who choose to have a living adventure for a year or two or four. Maybe long enough to go to college there or they have a temporary job situation, or they just go up there and "live" for a short while until their money runs out. The longtimer Alaskans call these folk "Cheechakos" (newcomers) and they can be spotted from 100 yards off, sometimes further.
That's your Cheechako group. (Most militaries tend to fit into this category as well)
Then there are those people who perhaps moved up to Alaska, maybe with the intention of moving back to the "lower 48" but fell in love or just plain got stuck and have been there for years. They may have started out Cheechako but became Alaskan somewhere along the way.
That's your Alaskan Transplant group.
Then there are those people who actually were born there and lived there all their lives. The majority of these folk are Eskimo or Alaskan Indians but there are a small bunch of other cultural diversities that actually fit into this categories.
That's your native Alaskan group.
Why did I just categorize all these different folk into these little categories? I'm not sure since I hate categorizing, but perhaps it is to explain different people's different perspectives on what Alaska is and what it offers. Alaska is so big, it has so many things to offer and experiences that are hard to find elsewhere in the world.
So...that may bring you the next question... Why am I even WRITING about Alaska? Isn't this blog site about soap?
Well, yes and no. This blog is about someone who makes soap and things related to soap, but not about the soap itself. It is about the person who makes it. To find out who the person is behind my bar of soap, you need to know about Alaska.
I wasn't born there, I never had a desire to go there, or live there. I only knew that Alaska contained snow, cold, igloos, Eskimos, polar bears and a few other weird animals like moose and ptarmigan (took me awhile to spell that one), and those silly little lemmings that commit group suicide once in awhile.
Despite the above paragraph, I did eventually move to Alaska and lived there for several years. So, I suppose that would put me in the category of the Alaskan Transplant, but eventually moved back to the lower 48...ooops, that isn't in the above list. See? I told you I hated categorizing!
Some of my experiences in Alaska are made of a truly unique, "Alaskan" flavor. I would be hard put to find a way to have those similar experiences anywhere else. Those experiences are part of what make me who I am today. I now live in the Northwest, which is nothing like Alaska. I've had wonderful and very tragic experiences there. I choose to talk about the uniquely Alaskan experiences however and will have a series of "Alaskan Experiences" coming up. So, stay tuned for Alaskan Experiences and feel free to talk about your own experiences if you've been there an done that too...or just say that is weird, strange, crazy, a lie...whatever.

What's the Motivator?
What motivates you to do the things you do when you do them? Do you so get into doing what you're doing that you forget what you're doing?
I do.
I mean, look at what I'm doing! It's more like, look at what I'm NOT doing. I'm a child of God, that's just who I am. But, being a child of God carries responsibility too. Just like you have the responsibility to honor your parents, your heavenly parent should have honor. But is the motivator called responsibility? Or is it based on love? What's my motivator?
I'm a wife and mother...married with 3 children. I have a family. I desire to keep my family happy, healthy, intact in physical, emotional and spiritual ways. But I can only do so much as the role of the mother in some of these areas. Dads and husbands carry a HUGE responsibility in these areas. I'm the wife and mother only and I am not programmed to take all the responsibility myself. I need to rely on the man in my life and the heavenly Father in my life to share this with. My kids have the responsibility to WANT to be healthy, happy and intact in physical, emotional and spiritual ways as well. Sometimes they are their own worst enemy and thwart everyone else's efforts. Sometimes, I do that too. No one's perfect. What's my motivator to work so hard at giving my family the best possible chance for happiness, sometimes at my own expense?
I'm a registered nurse and I work full time. I have a responsbility to my job and the people who depend on me to do it...my co-workers, patients, and my family that depends on the paycheck I bring home. Why do I do it? Do I LOVE my job? Not really...but I DO care about my co-workers, patients and my family. It's all about relationship in the end, I think. Do I care about the money that I bring home? ABSOLUTELY! Without it, we be in deep doo-doo financially. Despite my hard work, we sometimes are anyway. That is frustrating. Why do I work so hard at this and get so little from it? What's my motivator?
I wrote a book...a novel based on true historical events. Anyone who has ever written a book knows how tough it is to write a book. Choosing the right words, the right nuance, the right moment to say what you want to say and how you want to say it. It's time-consuming. My book is not published, maybe it never will be, but some amazing things have occurred out of writing that book and it's still happening. What was my motivator? Fame? Fortune? Pride? Sense of accomplishment? Love? What's the motivator?
I started a soap business. That was the last thing I thought I would ever do. And yet, here I am doing it. Yes, I can express my creativity, but it is also a lot of hard work that consumes even more of my precious little time. Am I making the big bucks from this? NOPE! I'd like to though. What is my motivator? Do I expect to make big bucks from this little business? There is a chance that I could. Do I want to pay the price? What's my motivator?
What motivates me to do all these things that I do? I haven't even begun to scratch the surface of everything that I DO do. I've just highlighted the main ones.
I really don't know the complete answer to that question, but it does provoke some thought. Perhaps, it will make you want to know what your motivator is when you read this. Why do you do the things that you do? What's your motivator? And when you figure it out, is your motivator worth the sacrifice?

Lori Laffel, M.D., M.P.H.
Preserving health and development of youth with diabetes
Lori Laffel, M.D., M.P.H., focuses her research and clinical interests on preventing the late complications of type 1 diabetes and preserving the health, normal growth, development and family functioning of children, adolescents and young adults with diabetes. Under her leadership, the Joslin Clinic Pediatric, Adolescent and Young Adult Section has nearly quadrupled in size, with a large pediatric research program complementing the clinical activities. Dr Laffel and her associates have ongoing studies looking at factors that are predictors of persistence and progression of micralbuminuria in childhood type 1 diabetes onset.
A primary focus of Dr. Laffel's research has been the design, implementation, and evaluation of office-based interventions aimed at increasing family involvement in the day-to-day care of youth with diabetes in order to prevent the expected deteriorations in self-care behaviors and glycemic control that usually occur in late adolescence. This effort has had ongoing funding from the National Institutes of Health and private foundations since 1993. Currently, her research interests include the study of the relationship between nutrition and type 1 diabetes, with 5 years of funding from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD). She also serves as Principal Investigator on an investigation examining barriers to sustained Continuous Glucose Monitoring use in youth and a behavioral intervention to facilitate adherence to diabetes management tasks in teens. Both of these investigations are funded by NIH.
Together with collaborator Barbara Anderson, PhD, now at Baylor College of Medicine, Dr. Laffel pioneered the development and implementation of a cost-effective model of care in which a "Care Ambassador" encourages routine clinic attendance and adherence to diabetes management tasks, such as blood glucose monitoring. Her studies have documented a 30-50% reduction in the rate of acute complications, namely severe hypoglycemia, hospitalizations, and emergency room visits, among patients who received the "Care Ambassador" intervention compared with standard care. These successful research efforts have been translated into the routine clinical care for families of children with newly diagnosed diabetes at Joslin and help to form the basis of national and international initiatives. The "Care Ambassador" intervention approach to care also served as the basis for a multi-center clinical trial of the family management of type 1 diabetes in youth funded by the National Institute of Child, Health and Human Development.
Working with colleagues in the section on Genetics and Epidemiology, the section on Complications, and at Brigham and Women's Hospital, Dr. Laffel identified predictors of early kidney disease in young patients. In association with colleagues in Joslin's Section on Genetics and Epidemiology, she found that risk for diabetic nephropathy increases in patients with infrequent medical follow-up and in those whose hemoglobin A1c values exceed a threshold value of 8 percent. These and other findings laid the foundation for prevention and treatment interventions. For example, Dr. Laffel was the lead author of a study that established the use of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors as the standard of care to preserve kidney function in certain patients with type 1 diabetes.
In an effort to evaluate new technologies, Dr. Laffel secured funding from the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF) to evaluate continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) in youth with type 1 diabetes and served as the co-chair of the multi-center JDRF CGM study. She has also worked with students and fellows from the MIT and Harvard informatics training programs to design, implement, and evaluate wireless technologies aimed at increasing adherence in youth and young adults with type 1 diabetes.
With the current epidemic of childhood obesity and type 2 diabetes in youth, Dr. Laffel has expanded her research interests to include the study of effective approaches for the treatment of type 2 diabetes in youth. She serves as Principal Investigator at the Joslin site in a national multi-center clinical trial of type 2 diabetes in youth funded by the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases.
Dr. Laffel is Chief of the Pediatric, Adolescent and Young Adult Section at the Joslin Clinic, and Senior Investigator in the Section on Genetics and Epidemiology at the Joslin Diabetes Center, as well as an Professor of Pediatrics at Harvard Medical School. She has been the Principal Investigator and Program Director of Joslin's NIH-funded postdoctoral fellowship and early career development training grants for pediatric endocrinologists entering the field of diabetes research. She is actively involved with the American Diabetes Association, as a member of the Boston Leadership Board, the National Board of Directors, the National Committee for Pediatric Guidelines, and she is chair of both the Youth Strategies Committee and the Working Group on Transitions in Care for Type 1 Diabetes.
Dr. Laffel lectures at both the undergraduate and graduate levels and serves as an invited speaker at local, national, and international meetings in the areas of pediatric diabetes, childhood obesity, behavioral and outcomes research, and the assessment and translation of new technologies in diabetes. She also contributes to the grant peer review process both nationally and internationally, reviewing for NIH, JDRF, the French Inserm, the Medical Research Council, and the Dutch Diabetes Research Foundation, and she is an Associate Editor for Diabetic Medicine.
Dr. Laffel received her medical degree from the University of Miami School of Medicine and her master's degree in Public Health from the Harvard School of Public Health. She did her pediatric training at Children's Hospital and her fellowship training at Children's Hospital and Joslin.

This is a continuation of yesterday's post which explained the start of the
Aneta Community Orchard and Garden.
Not all of the work that goes into planting an orchard happens at the planting site.
Bill taught us how to take cuttings from existing hardy fruit trees and start new trees. A volunteer researched patents on trees to be sure that we were using native varieties or those without patents. We then proceeded to cut tender branch tips from trees in order for them to take root and produce more trees.
The cuttings were placed into soil and transported.
This is a misting chamber. The proper humidity and temperature should help the cuttings root.
Those who attended this work day were inspired by the success we witnessed in this orchard and learned many lessons from our patient teacher, Bill.
Pop cans are placed on top of steel fence posts to hold netting up without poking or slipping down. This tip was gleaned from a road trip that the group took to an another community garden. Gardens are a great place to recycle.
On another work day we potted root stock. A hardy apple tree had been cut down. Although it was mostly dead above ground, there were still live roots. It sent root shoots out into the surrounding ground and little trees popped through the ground.
The trees were carefully removed from the ground preserving as much root as possible.
The trees were potted by volunteers.
The pots were taken home and tended by volunteers.
After each tree establisheded in the pot, it was transplanted into the orchard.
The little trees are spending the Winter under the snow at the Aneta Community Orchard and Garden. These will be used as root stock for grafting.
There is always something to learn at the Aneta Community Orchard and Garden located near the road to GriggsDakota. More tomorrow...

DULUTH, Minn. – Justin Trautmiller had three interceptions as St. Scholastica was victorious in itshomecoming matchup against the Westminster College Blue Jays 29-12 on Saturday at Malosky Stadium.
The victory over the Blue Jays (5-2, 4-2 UMAC) paired with the Eureka College loss puts the Saints in sole possession of first place in the conference in the first year of eligibility for the UMAC champions to advance to the NCAA Tournament.
St. Scholastica started the scoring off early as Westminster coughed up the ball and Chas Lemon returned it 21 yards for a touchdown. The extra point by Mike Theismann was blocked to leave the score at 6-0 Saints.
The Saints would get the ball with good field position late in the first quarter, but were stuffed at the 18-yard line. Theismann would be called on for the 35-yard field goal and convert to put the Saints ahead 9-0.
CSS drove the ball down the field early in the second quarter only to be halted when Shane Harris intercepted Alex Thiry and returned it 100 yards for a Westminster score. Ross Richardson's point after attempt was blocked, leaving the score at 9-6 CSS. For Thiry it was interception number one on the season.
After two straight sacks, the Saints were set up with 3rd and 21 late in the first half when Thiry found Jonny Bennett in the back corner of the end zone for a touchdown. Theismann's extra point was good and the Saints went into halftime with a 16-6 lead.
Midway through the third quarter, CSS drove the ball 52 yards, capping it off with a one-yard touchdown run by Travis Nehowig. The point after was missed but the Saints still extended their lead to 22-6.
Westminster would make it a game early in the fourth quarter when backup quarterback Kurt Gould found Carl Givens for a 15-yard touchdown. The two-point conversion was no good and the Saints lead remained at 22-12.
Nehowig would find the end zone again on a one-yard touchdown run with six minutes left in the game. Theismann's extra point was good to put the nail in the coffin as St. Scholastica went on to victory 29-12.
The story of the day was turnovers as Westminster turned the ball over seven times on five interceptions and two fumbles, giving St. Scholastica a +5 turnover margin on the day. Trautmiller finished with three of those interceptions, with the other two coming at the hands of Mike LaValley and JP Leary. Lemon's fumble recover along with a recovery by Jake Turkowski rounded out the turnovers for CSS.
Leading the way in tackles for the Saints were Sean Graskey and Zack Dubanoski with eight a piece. Leary added six and Jordan Rasmussen had five to lead CSS. Christopher Doran, Dubanoski and Rasmussen also each had a sack on the day.
Offensively for the Saints, Alex Thiry went 14-24 for 263 yards and a touchdown along with an interception.
Nehowig led the rushing attack with 86 yards on 26 carries.
Bennett led the way receiving with six catches for 138 yards and a touchdown. Keegan O'Neill had four catches for 66 yards, and Nick Thiry and Nehowig had two catches a piece with 39 and 20 yards respectively to round out the receiving for CSS.
Punter Justin Bosman had a program record 72-yard punt as he averaged 38.7 yards per punt on the day, along with three inside the 20 yard line.
The Saints (6-0, 5-0 UMAC) will hit the road to take on the Crown College Storm (0-6, 0-5 UMAC) in St. Bonifacious, Minn. next Saturday at 1 p.m. The action can be heard at csssaints.com on Game Central.

The car-sharing non-profit has partnered with Next Village San Francisco, a group that helps senior citizens. People who volunteer for Next Village for 12 hours a quarter, will get a free one-year City CarShare membership. The volunteers will drive senior citizens to the grocery store and the doctor.
City CarShare said the partnership allows the company to provide transportation options in underserved parts of the Bay Area, while Next Village said the deal will help increase its volunteer base.
City CarShare works like this: People sign up to become members, with the lowest package offered at $10 a month. When they need to use a car, they reserve it online and pay a fee based on how long they use the car. Rates can vary depending on time.

Anthony Weiner's campaign manager calls it quits
In another blow to Anthony Weiner's beleaguered campaign to become mayor of New York City, his campaign manager quit on Saturday, CBS News Radio has confirmed.
Danny Kedem, a 30-year-old who oversaw Weiner's candidacy as the disgraced former congressman moved from long shot to real contender, told Weiner that he could no longer manage his campaign after new revelations about Weiner's salacious online contact with women over the last week. The New York Times was the first to report the story.
Weiner has insisted that his bid is moving forward, come what may, but Kedem's resignation marks the latest evidence that there are doubts about Weiner's viability even within the campaign operation itself.
And even as Weiner plows ahead, trying to put the sexting scandal aside and concentrate on campaign themes like healthcare and middle-class security, he continues to be dragged back into the controversy created by his errant online behavior.
- Weiner admits to inappropriate texting with 3 women after resigning from Congress
- This time, Anthony Weiner's wife steps out to defend him
At a campaign event in Staten Island on Friday meant to highlight the continued plight of people affected by Hurricane Sandy, retired schoolteacher Peg Brunda demanded to know why Weiner felt he had the "moral authority" to oversee city employees when his own conduct leaves so much to be desired, WCBS reports.
See video of the exchange above.
Weiner asked, "You're not voting for me?"
She replied, "No, I'm not voting for you, sir."
Weiner retorted, "I want to let other people make the decision for themselves."
He surprised some by saying he would have no problem hiring a schools chancellor or a police commissioner with behavioral problems similar to his own. "People have their personal lives," he said. "If it is unconnected to their professional duties, of course, I'm not going to judge someone's personal life."
Weiner, formerly a congressman from New York City, resigned in 2011 after it was revealed that he tweeted lewd pictures to women. After a brief period out of the public eye, Weiner launched a bid for New York City mayor in May, quickly becoming a serious contender for the Democratic nomination, according to polls conducted shortly after he jumped into the race.
On Tuesday, however, Weiner's candidacy was plunged into turmoil after it was revealed that he continued his sexually inappropriate online contact with women after his resignation. In subsequent media appearances, Weiner admitted inappropriate contact with six to ten women - up to three of them after he resigned - but insisted the behavior was a thing of the past.

Subscribe To The Raven Blu-ray Interactive Map Of Baltimore Shares Some Movie Clips Updates
I've already subscribed
The Raven is gearing up for a mystery laden Blu-ray and DVD release on October 9. To celebrate, Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment has put together one of the coolest apps I've ever seen—an interactive map that connects scenes from the movie with the Baltimore locations where they occur. All you have to do is hover your mouse over different areas of the map, and voila, different scenes from the movie will appear.
I think my favorite touches are the little raven icons that appear when there is a video audiences can watch. Most of the scenes are pretty short, and definitely are better for fans who have already caught the film and know about the sleuthwork Edgar Allan Poe (John Cusack) is accomplishing alongside a detective (Luke Evans). There are a few spoilers in the clips, but they also help us to understand the importance of the locations and the scenes we are privy to. The only thing that could potentially make this app better would be including clips from the Blu-ray bonus features. As it stands, though, I'm not sure how that would work with the map aspect (the trailer is included).
Luckily, we do have an exclusive Blu-ray bonus feature about Edgar Allan Poe's life and works, that may be helpful if you are thinking about purchasing the set. The Blu-ray set will come with plenty of extras, including audio commentary from director James McTeigue, deleted and extended scenes, and several featurettes, including the aforementioned extra discussing Poe. You can take my word for it, or check out the full list.

Countdown for Obamacare signups
The White House has been on a December dash to get people to sign up for health coverage by Monday, the first critical enrollment deadline for Obamacare — and the last sign-up opportunity for people who want their new health benefits to kick in on New Year's Day.
The White House spent the past three weeks trying to move past the double-barreled disaster of the botched HealthCare.gov website and the millions of canceled health plans. The website now works, although not perfectly. Many of the people who received cancellation notices have found alternatives, though some are still scrambling to get health coverage by Monday.
Story Continued Below
The rocky start of the health law rollout, a flurry of last-minute policy changes and shifting deadlines has consumers confused and advocates working overtime to get people over the sign-up finish line. Call centers have been beefed up, and outreach groups are texting and emailing people with reminders that the health care clock is ticking.
The law still faces stiff political headwinds, including from vulnerable Democrats. Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W. Va.), for one, warned Sunday that the law could still collapse "under its own weight."
"If it's so much more expensive than what we anticipated and if the coverage is not as good as what we had, you've got a complete meltdown at that time," Manchin said in an interview aired Sunday on CNN's "State of the Union." "This transitional year gives you a chance to adjust the product for the market."
Oklahoma Republican Sen. Tom Coburn's criticism on NBC's "Meet the Press" was more sweeping.
"You can't fix this mess," he said.
Given Monday's deadline, the Washington, D.C. is among the state programs trying to "touch back" to people that had expressed interest in coverage but may not have finished signing up.
( Also on POLITICO: Obamacare outreach hits the clubs)
"The idea here is these folks have shown a real concerted effort to want to get coverage," said Purvee Kempf, deputy general counsel and chief policy adviser for the exchange, called DC Health Link.
The White House wants to avoid a spate of damaging stories on Jan. 1 about people who are newly uninsured, having had their old plans canceled. The administration badly wants to change the narrative to millions who are newly covered in private health plans in the exchanges or through Medicaid, which was expanded under the Affordable Care Act.
HealthCare.gov itself displays a message that captures that sense of urgency: "We are working around the clock to make sure that anyone who wants coverage starting on Jan. 1 enrolls by Dec. 23." People can sign up until March 31, but their coverage would start later.
( Also on POLITICO: Obama: More than a million new insured in December)
Insurers are anxious. They have to make sure that people are actually enrolled in the plans they selected, and the data they've gotten from the government, the so-called 834 files, have contained errors. The error rate has dropped sharply, HHS officials say, but with enrollment surging in late December, the health plans still have a huge task of reconciling their enrollment records with the government's.
Polls show that deep opposition to the Affordable Care Act persists. Millions of Americans are angry, confused or both after weeks of revised dates, changed messages and intense political battle over sign-up rates, premium costs and the administration's accountability. Just this past week, the White House announced that people who had a health plan canceled can get a "hardship" reprieve from the individual mandate — inviting critics of the law to question why the unpopular mandate isn't being delayed for everyone else too.
Coburn encouraged people who are facing high costs after plan cancellations to take that option. "Everybody who signed up and has a high deductible policy should go and cancel," he said.
The fact that Dec. 23 is the drop-dead date for January coverage is part of the administration's triage effort. The original deadline was Dec. 15, but HHS pressed insurers to revise the timeline after all the lost time from the faulty website. And they moved the goalposts further last week, when they urged the insurance industry to accept premium payments from new customers as late as Jan. 10, as long as they signed up by Dec. 23.
President Barack Obama announced at his year-end news conference that enrollment was rising after those anemic numbers in October and November. As of last week, more than a million people had signed up for coverage in the health insurance exchanges and about 4 million has been found eligible for Medicaid and the Children's Health Insurance Program, the White House said. And the pace of enrollment has quickened.
"Millions of Americans, despite the problems with the website, are now poised to be covered by quality, affordable health insurance come New Year's Day," the president said. "Now, this holiday season, there are mothers and fathers and entrepreneurs and workers who have something new to celebrate — the security of knowing that when the unexpected or misfortune strikes, hardship no longer has to."

|The USS Indiana Bombarding Kamaishi, Japan, July 14, 1945
|Plank Owner's Certificate for the USS Indiana
My dad received the plank owner's certificate above on April 30, 1942 as one of the 2,109 men on board when the ship was put into commission. Plank owners didn't actually "own" a plank of the deck. It was an honorary title and part of a tradition which dates back to the time of wooden sailing vessels. The Homeport website has a list of the plank owners. My dad's name appears here.
My dad participated in 11 major battles in the Pacific Theatre. He spoke very little about the actual battles, but I do remember him talking about a major fire on the ship. When I started researching the Indiana I learned that the fire was caused by a collision between the Indiana and another ship, the USS Washington, which you can read about here.
My dad received two silver stars and two bronze stars for his service. Again, he never talked about what he did to receive his honors. While he was proud of his service he never bragged about what he had done. He didn't "trot out his glory bars" as he use to say. He was just doing his job. I did learn from someone years ago that he received one of his silver stars for throwing a live shell that had misfired off the deck and into the ocean. He was just doing his job.

Friends, this is Caffrey. Caffrey, friends. As you may have noticed, Caffrey is one tough looking old cat and that's because he's been through some real shit. Like years ago, for example, he was run over by a car and lost half of one of his back legs. Then, about a decade later, he developed a growth on the front leg on the same side of his body and had to have that one removed, too. Now, you might be asking yourself what the deal is with Caffrey's owner — why it is that she won't let him slip peacefully into the night with what remains of his legs and dignity — but the thing is that Caffrey doesn't seem to mind his gradual transition into a biped one bit. As a matter of fact, he's doing great.
Oh, and Buzzfeed made some amazing Caffrey gifs that should be probably be downloaded and cherished for ever. Run on, Caffrey, you beautiful son of a bitch.
Caffrey, the amazing moggie who survives on two legs... and they're both on the same side! [Daily Mail]

XL Video supplied LED screens, Video Projection, IMAG camera system, HD Playback and Control systems and crew for the spectacular celebration event marking 25 Years of Andrew Lloyd Webber's "Phantom of the Opera" musical, produced by Cameron Macintosh and staged in London's Royal Albert Hall.
The high-impact digital scenery and projections elements were designed by Jon Driscoll. He was asked onboard by the anniversary show's designer Matt Kinley and by Cameron Macintosh's production manager Nic Harris. Driscoll also designed the projections for Phantom sequel "Love Never Dies" which ran at the Adelphi Theatre.
Driscoll in turn asked XL to provide the hardware, with XL's Paul Wood project managing their elements of the three RAH shows, the final one of which was broadcast live to movie houses in the US, Japan, Australia, Europe and across the UK. Driscoll has worked with XL in the past and says, "As soon as I was confirmed for the job I requested that XL came in to supply the equipment and expertise to deliver the show's video. I have worked with Paul before at the Albert Hall. He knows the venue and its specifics very well and I thought he was the man for the job".
The overall creative brief was to keep the show's look and feel faithful to the late Maria Björnson's original Phantom design which is hugely loved and respected worldwide.
However, the use of digital scenery elements was vital in adapting the show to work smoothly and slickly in the 5,500 capacity RAH, as were certain classic set pieces like the moving bridge and the opera house Proscenium arch.
The video was split into two sections. Upstage, above the raised central orchestra platform was a 20 metre by 10 metre grey sharks-tooth gauze, projecting onto this were 10 overlaid Barco FLM HD20 20K projectors located in the Grand Tier boxes.
Below, upstage on stage floor level, were nine 4.5m high x 2-3m wide tracking set panels filled with a total of 75 square metres of XL's Pixled F11 LED screen. The five inner panels moved into a series of different entrance and exit positions for cast and scenery trucks to move on and off stage.
All video content was played in via two Catalyst media servers, one feeding projection and one for LED screens. All the images were controlled and output via a Barco Encore screen management system.
XL supplied 5 HD cameras for show content. Three were operated, and were directed by Ruary MacPhie, These were used for IMAG projection onto the projection surface both during the main show and a gala section after the end of the final show. THIS featured a reprise of classic production numbers like "Phantom of the Opera" and "Music of the Night", speeches and appearances by past cast members including the original leads, Sarah Brightman and Michael Crawford.
Onstage, one of the two HD mini cams was positioned behind and shooting through the middle of the centre LED screen panel for a reverse shot of the stage and auditorium for specific show designed shots, and another was mounted on the set just below the conductor position for another reverse shot effect of the RAH.
Driscoll spent about two months compiling the source video material, working with his associate Gemma Carrington and animators Shaun Clark and Matthew O'Neil.
Most of the content was derived from Björnson's original designs, which were treated to appear digitally and work in the different setting, whilst retaining all their original ambience. Some new content was created by Driscoll in the appropriate pastiche.
Matching the two different types of video once on site at the RAH was a great tribute to XL Video's engineers in balancing and tweaking the LED to get a near seamless blend, whilst also accommodating the requirements and requests of the television broadcast crew and lighting designers, Andrew Bridge and Patrick Woodroffe, resulting in some close collaboration.
The two video screen elements were united by the swooshing curtains which swept in with great elegance and presence across both surfaces.
Driscoll took a film crew into Phantom's London home at Her Majesty's Theatre in the Haymarket, and working closely with their fly crew, painstakingly shot the curtain coming in against a green screen, being careful to capture all the detail and character of the material, its folds and motion. These were separated in a model theatre, re-animated and amplified to fit the RAH screens, providing dramatic and highly realistic punctuation points for the end of each act.
Paul Wood comments "The timescale was the major challenge in building such an ambitious and high profile one-off show to such exacting standards of excellence, and one to which all departments responded, delivering a truly world class experience fitting the landmark occasion".
Phantom of The Opera first opened in London's West End at the 1,200-seat Her Majesty's Theatre on October 9th 1986, with Michael Crawford and Sarah Brightman as the principals. It is still there, more than 10,000 performances later! It opened on Broadway on January 26th 1988 and has clocked up over 9,800 performances, gaining the accolade of longest-running show ever. Dozens of productions worldwide include currents in Budapest, Hungary, Las Vegas, USA and Kyoto, Japan, with one planned next year in South Africa.

Prior to the start of the exhibition game, AngelsWin.com caught up with Fred Lynn to speak about his participation in the SUBWAY Baseball DeSIGNS tour, his career as a Major League player, and his thoughts on the current state of the game.
Fred Lynn is no stranger to Southern California. Growing up in El Monte, California, he was a standout high school star in football, baseball and basketball. He then went on to star at USC before getting drafted by the Boston Red Sox in 1973. As a rookie in 1975, Fred Lynn won the Rookie of the Year Award, the Most Valuable Player Award, and a Gold Glove for his defense in centerfield.
In 1981, Fred Lynn was traded to the California Angels along with Steve Renko for Joe Rudi, Frank Tanana, and Jim Dorsey. With the California Angels, Fred Lynn became one of the four former MVP players to compose the 1982 team. The 1982 Angels were the second Angels' team to make it to the post season, but, unfortunately fell one game short in a heartbreaking series against the Milwaukee Brewers.
In 1983, Fred Lynn made All-Star history in the 50th anniversary of the All-Star Game by hitting the first grand slam in All-Star history. After the 1984 season, Fred Lynn left the Angels as a free agent to play for Baltimore. Before retiring, Fred Lynn played for Detroit and San Diego. He finished his career in 1990, amassing nine All-Star appearances, four Gold Gloves and 306 homeruns.
Below is our interview with Fred Lynn, conducted July 9th, 2010. Additional footage of the opening ceremonies from the SUBWAY Baseball DeSIGNS tour, including the ceremonial first pitch, is included.

Voters in San Francisco will get a chance to express their feelings about the city's planned municipal WiFi network. San Francisco mayor Gavin Newsom and Board of Supervisors president Aaron Peskin agreed to put the question of whether to go forward with building a free, citywide wireless network to the city's residents for a vote in November.
San Francisco's network has been in the works for a long time. Newsom originally announced his intentions to build the network in 2004, and it was announced to great fanfare in October 2005 that Google would offer 300Kbps WiFi throughout the city, gratis. The city then decided to open the WiFi contract for competitive bidding, and an alliance comprised of EarthLink and Google was the high bidder.
Nearly three years after the city first announced its intention to build the network, it has yet to come online. Some of the blame for that comes from changing expectations on the part of San Francisco. The city decided that 300Kbps wasn't fast enough (and who's going to argue with that?) and that it wanted stronger privacy safeguards.
Although EarthLink has been making a name for itself in the municipal WiFi business since FCC deregulation made DSL a much less profitable venture, the company has recently been reexamining its business strategy. The company reported a loss for the second quarter of 2007 and indicated during a conference call with analysts that it planned to delay further deployments until it was sure they would be profitable.
In light of reconsidering its commitment to municipal wireless, EarthLink may be balking at some of the changes the city wants. The San Francisco Chronicle reports that city supervisors want to shorten the length of the contract in addition to upping the speed.
The situation in San Francisco stands in stark contrast to that of Philadelphia, which was the first major US city to start building out a municipal WiFi network. The price tag for Philadelphia's network has soared as EarthLink has been forced to deploy as many as 47 nodes per square mile instead of the 20 to 25 it had expected. Despite that, the network is in line to go live later this year with hopes of attracting 12,000 paid subscribers by year end.
The San Francisco ballot measure is nonbinding and, as such, will merely represent the collective opinion of the Golden Gate City's residents—who will likely respond in the same way my daughter would if I asked her if she wanted ice cream for dinner. Getting city-wide WiFi up and running is significantly more difficult to accomplish, obviously.

Mizzou Rings in the New Year with Final Practice at AT&T Stadium
Arlington – The No. 8 Missouri Tigers hit the practice field one final time with a 90-minute workout at AT&T Stadium with the 78th AT&T Cotton Bowl Classic looming in two days.
Mizzou (11-2, 7-1 Southeastern Conference) took time to work on its final adjustments, while making sure to continue its emphasis on fundamentals in preparation for the No. 13 Oklahoma State Cowboys (10-2, 7-2 Big 12 Conference).
Leading the list of 32 Tigers returning to their home state for the program's 30th bowl game is senior QB James Franklin. Head coach Gary Pinkel said the Corinth, Texas native has been the catalyst in Mizzou's breakout season in the SEC after the team was picked to finish sixth in the conference's Eastern Division.
"A year ago was remarkable what he had to go through," said head coach Gary Pinkel. "To see his maturity and see him be able to deal with all the adversity he had like he always does. It made him tougher mentally, a little bit more resilient and a little bit more determined. When you get hurt and you're sitting on the bench and it's something that's real important to you, you sit there and shake your head a little bit. Our players have great respect for him. He's a great leader and he's had a great, great year for us."
Franklin and the other seniors closed practice with the Tiger tradition of taking their last hits in a Mizzou uniform before their final game.
"The seniors give so much," said Pinkel. "This is the last practice they are going to have. You add up the number of practices, how many times they lifted weights, all of the conditioning they've done and all the time they've put into this place the last four or five years, it's the tradition of their last hit to honor them. It's a lot of fun. They're creative in their own way. It's a great statement for the seniors and what they've done. It's fun for our whole football team."
Following its final practice, Mizzou conducted its defensive news conference for the media at the Omni Mandalay hotel featuring defensive coordinator Dave Steckel, DE Kony Ealy, CB E.J.

As leaders of community and parent groups in California, we were greatly relieved last week when four US attorneys announced a widespread crackdown on bogus "medical" marijuana dispensaries in our state. This enforcement could not come at a more urgent time.
California was the first state to approve a medical marijuana law 15 years ago, and 15 states followed. Now it leads the nation in abuse of that law. In the intervening years, "pot shops" – poorly disguised as "clinics" – have proliferated. "California's marijuana industry supplies the nation," US Attorney Benjamin Wagner said last week.
New studies show how dispensaries have sparked marijuana use in communities. In California and elsewhere, their presence has increased drug dealing and use among vulnerable populations, such as underage youth and people with mental health and addiction problems. And young people are getting the wrong message that marijuana is harmless.
Researchers at Columbia University have found that marijuana use is almost twice as high in states with medical marijuana laws compared to states without them. This, according to an article published in an upcoming issue of the journal Drug and Alcohol Dependence.
Another recent finding underscores that disturbing message. Among youths aged 12 to 17, marijuana usage rates are higher in states with medicinal marijuana laws, says a study in last month's Annals of Epidemiology. This is concerning, because marijuana, according to the National Institutes of Health, is linked with dependence, respiratory and mental illness, poor motor performance, and cognitive impairment, among other negative effects. In fact, more kids now go to treatment because of a primary marijuana condition than for any other drug, including alcohol.
But during the time that medical marijuana has gained public acceptance, perceptions about the drug's dangers have receded among young people.
The 2010 Monitoring the Future Survey revealed the perceived harm for smoking marijuana occasionally or regularly has been decreasing among students in the 8th grade since 2007. These teens feel less social disapproval for using the drug than their peers did four years ago.
Softening attitudes generally precede an increase in drug use rates by about two years. As community members, this does not surprise us, as we've heard youths often ask why marijuana is such a big deal when, after all, it is "medicine."
It is important to remember that medical marijuana laws were advertised to California's electorate as a way to serve the very sick. However, it is increasingly obvious that this isn't playing out in practice. The average user of medical marijuana in California is a 32-year-old white male, according to a study analyzing over 3,000 medical marijuana users in the state. An overwhelming majority (88 percent) of those queried about the details of their marijuana initiation said they had tried it before the age of 19. Many users had taken other drugs in their lifetime – cocaine and methamphetamine.
These don't sound like very ill patients. Another study from this year indicates they're not. Of more than 1,600 medical marijuana applicants in California, very few of those who sought a recommendation had cancer, HIV/AIDS, glaucoma, or multiple sclerosis. Medical marijuana, as described recently by former Obama drug policy senior advisor Kevin Sabet, has turned into a "sad joke."
Clearly in California we are having buyer's remorse. Hundreds of towns have now banned dispensaries. As community groups, we are seeing and feeling the negative effects of such establishments – even though a recent RAND study concluding that closing down dispensaries has the effect of reducing crime has been discredited and taken off of RAND's website.
We can't thank the US attorneys enough for their action, and stand side by side with them as they put brazen dispensary owners, many of them profiting dearly off of other people's vulnerabilities, out of business for good. As marijuana use has been increasing over the past few years, this action is long overdue.
John Redman is executive director of Californians for Drug-Free Youth (CADFY); Gabrielle Antolovich is executive director of Voices United; Aaron Byzak is president of North Coastal Prevention Coalition; Staci Anderson is chief executive officer and president of People Reaching Out. These authors are all from the San Diego area, which has been flooded with medical marijuana dispensaries.

2008 Sand Sports Super ShowPosted in Events on January 1, 2009
Photographers: Off-Road Staff
Every year, we try to hit up every off-road show that we can. Unfortunately, this only equates to about a third of them, but we're stoked to be able to make it to even that many. One show we never end up missing is the Sand Sports Super Show. But then again, that could be because we live about 20 minutes from the O.C. Fairgrounds where it's held every year... . But even if it were hours away, we think we'd still make the trek to get out and see the sand show. And 2008's show was the biggest yet, which was really great to see. We weren't sure how the current economic bump in the off-road industry was going to play out in terms of attendance at this year's show, so it was really great to see so many heads checking out what's new.

Obama avoiding major Libya address
President Barack Obama is resisting pressure to deliver an Oval Office speech explaining his policy on Libya — in part, because he doesn't want to equate what he regards as a smaller, time-limited mission with the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Administration officials haven't ruled out a big speech, but Obama is reluctant to make a major address on Libya until the United States hands over most command and combat duties to its allies.
Story Continued Below
That's not to say the president won't talk about Libya over the next few days, aides say, but he's not likely to succumb to pressure to deliver a long, explanatory address to outline his elusive endgame to the nation until the path ahead becomes clearer.
There were signs that might come sooner rather than later on Thursday. For the first time since combat operations began, the vast majority of flights over Libya on Thursday were conducted by U.S. allies, a sharp contrast to the previous 24 hours when American planes flew the majority of missions.
And NATO member nations on Thursday evening approved a plan under which the alliance will assume command of the no-fly zone over Libya.
"We are already seeing a significant reduction in the number of U.S. planes involved in the operation as the number of planes from other countries increase," Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said after the decision by NATO. "Today we are taking the next step. All 28 allies have also now authorized military authorities to develop an operations plan for NATO to take on the broader civilian protections mission."
Clinton's reassuring assessment masked a ferocious round of last-minute negotiations, culminating in a four-way call between Clinton and the foreign ministers of Britain, France and Turkey on Thursday afternoon that sealed a preliminary deal.
"This was a hard diplomatic battle," a senior administration official said. "Building consensus among 29 nations is never easy."
Whatever happens, Obama is intent on putting the U.S. in the back seat. As part of an effort to downplay the scope of U.S. involvement, administration officials have flatly refused to call the enforcement of the Libyan no-fly, no-drive zone — which has included the launch of more than hundred cruise missiles and dozens of U.S. aircraft sorties — a "war."
It is "a time-limited, scope-limited military action," White House press secretary Jay Carney said Thursday.
Still, the lack of a clearly articulated endgame — or even a rationale for quickly committing U.S. naval and air assets in a third Muslim nation — is making House and Senate members in both parties increasingly uneasy.
Their main concern: That Obama's oft-stated goal of ousting Qadhafi isn't backed up by the U.N. resolution, which calls only for the use of force in establishing a no-fly-zone and protecting civilians, putting U.S. forces in awkward suspension between humanitarian goals and regime change.

AMITY - The Daniel Boone School Board unanimously voted Wednesday to restore kindergarten and all extracurricular activities in the 2013-14 district budget, and to use $2 million from its fund balance to close a projected budget deficit.
The motion made by board member Walter P. Sheehan also called for raising taxes within the state's Act 1 index, and did not eliminate all other proposed budget cuts, including cutting the elementary school band program.
The decision met with applause from the audience of about 150 parents and residents who attended the budget meeting in the middle school auditorium. However, the board and many residents expressed reservations over the decision, which uses a larger portion of the fund balance than was originally proposed.
'This leaves us in a very precarious position for 2013-14. We're totally tapped out,' said board member Frank J. Cerminaro.
But Sheehan stressed that the board would need to continue to look for ways to reduce the budget, so that the $2 million fund balance can be restored.
'This will put kindergarten and extracurricular back in (the budget),' Sheehan said. 'That doesn't preclude the revenue enhancement committee from finding other ways to pay for it.'
The revenue enhancement committee looks at various sources of funding in order to bring additional revenue into the district. Board member Monica Hamill, who chairs that committee, assured that its members would continue to work on increasing revenues, possibly by raising fees for extracurricular activities, or charging more for facilities.
'Not eliminating (extracurricular activities) is a hooray, but we will be paying for them somehow,' she said.
The board had proposed eliminating its sports program, band and the kindergarten in an effort to reduce a projected $5 million deficit for the 2013-14 school year. Hundreds of parents packed a board meeting Monday night, objecting to those cuts.
The decision to restore all extracurricular activities and kindergarten came after the board heard a presentation from high school Principal Thomas Hankel regarding the sports program. Hankel visited with administrators in Juniata School District, where the sports program had been eliminated several years ago due to a severe budget deficit. There, sports boosters had taken over the program.
'The biggest problem with boosters overseeing the sports program is the equity issue,' Hankel said. 'Each sport was its own entity. Certain sports had strong boosters representation, while some were not funded as well.'
Juniata School District wound up adding funds back into the sports program to address the equity issue, Hankel said.
The board also learned that the district's transportation reimbursement from the state was $250,000 higher than originally projected for 2012-13, and likely would be the same for 2013-14, according to Business Manager Danielle Penza.
'This is good news,' said Superintendent Gary Otto. 'That's $250,000 in revenue we weren't factoring in for next year's budget.'
When the meeting began, Penza presented the proposed 2013-14 budget with expenditures totaling $52,035,105, and revenues at $51,371,756. That budget included the $486,000 cuts for kindergarten and $450,000 for extracurricular, and called for using $1.2 million of the fund balance.
By the end of the evening, the board had restored the kindergarten and extracurricular programs, and agreed to use $2 million of the fund balance to close the deficit. However, a number of other cuts were not restored.
Three elementary teachers were eliminated, due to declining enrollments at a savings of $216,000; a high school business education teacher was eliminated saving $78,000; elementary band cuts totaled $171,000. Another $306,000 was trimmed by cutting four core subject positions at the middle school, and $242,000 was shaved from the elementary basic skills program. In the high school, 2.5 physical education positions were cut, at a $93,000 savings. Elementary special area cuts totaled $589,000, and a psychologist position was eliminated for $90,000.
After the vote to restore kindergarten and extracurricular programs, the board heard public comment. About a dozen people spoke, some to commend the board, while others were more critical. Among those pleased with the decision was parent Angela Snyder.
'I just want to applaud you all. Athletics and kindergarten are integral parts of education and they are necessary in creating well-rounded students,' she said.
But parent Shane Kochel was less positive and asked the board to use any surplus funds from the current budget to offset proposed curriculum cuts.
'If you're saving extracurricular but cutting education, that's horrible,' he said. 'If you pull a surplus, please consider saving those programs that are still on the block.'
Still other residents chided the board for racking up a large deficit to begin with.
However, at the beginning of the meeting Otto gave a brief history of the district's budget woes, noting that the board had cut millions of dollars in spending from every budget since 2009-10.
'We are getting to the point where there's not much left to cut without getting into things we can't touch,' Otto said. 'Nobody likes what we're going through. This is a very difficult time for all of us. We've been fighting this since 2010. We're trying to stabilize things so we can see our way out of it.'

Setting up FRITZ!App Fon
With FRITZ!App Fon, you can make convenient calls via the FRITZ!Box using your smartphone as an IP telephone. FRITZ!App Fon can also be used with several FRITZ!Boxes; this means that you can use different FRITZ!Boxes to conduct calls, depending on your location. To do so, you have to register FRITZ!App Fon once with each FRITZ!Box as described here. Once it is registered, you can also conduct calls over a VPN connection. Besides making calls from home, you can then also make calls over the FRITZ!Box from anywhere.
Requirements / Restrictions
- iOS 10.0 or later or Android 4.0 or later is installed on the smartphone or tablet.
- A maximum of ten IP telephones (including FRITZ!App Fon) can be registered.
- FRITZ!App Fon cannot be registered or used over the wireless guest access.
- Various FRITZ!Box functions cannot be used with FRITZ!App Fon. This includes call transfer, busy on busy, call-back on busy / no response, do not disturb function for individual numbers, the ability to control certain FRITZ!Box functions such as enabling or disabling wireless LAN, loading factory settings, or setting up call diversions.
Note:All instructions on configuration and settings given in this guide refer to the latest FRITZ!OS for the FRITZ!Box.
1 Preparations
- Configure your internet telephone numbers in the FRITZ!Box.
2 Configuring the FRITZ!Box to allow applications to access it
In the factory settings, the FRITZ!Box is configured to allow applications to access it. If you changed the FRITZ!Box's settings, configure it so that it will once again allow applications to access it:
- Click "Home Network" in the FRITZ!Box user interface.
- Click "Home Network Overview" in the "Home Network" menu.
- Click on the "Network Settings" tab.
- Enable the option "Allow access for applications" in the "Access Settings in the Home Network" section. If the section is not displayed, enable the Advanced View.
- Click "Apply" to save the settings.
3 Setting up a wireless connection to the FRITZ!Box
The smartphone or tablet must be connected with the FRITZ!Box's wireless network when you set up the app (not the guest network):
- Set up the wireless connection to the FRITZ!Box.
4 Installing FRITZ!App Fon
- Download FRITZ!App Fon from the Google Play Store or the Apple App Store and install the app on your smartphone.
- Start FRITZ!App Fon.
- If you set a password for the FRITZ!Box user interface, enter the password.
- If you enabled "login with FRITZ!Box user name and password", enter the user name and password. The user must be authorized to use FRITZ!App Fon. You can edit the access rights of users under "System > FRITZ!Box Users" in the user interface.
- Confirm that the procedure may be executed on the FRITZ!Box, if asked to do so.
FRITZ!App Fon is now automatically configured as an IP telephone on the "LAN/WLAN" port in the FRITZ!Box.
5 Assigning telephone numbers
- Click "Telephony" in the FRITZ!Box user interface.
- Click "Telephony Devices" in the "Telephony" menu.
- Click the (Edit) button for FRITZ!App Fon. When it was installed, FRITZ!App Fon was automatically configured with the telephone's device name on the "LAN/WLAN" port in the FRITZ!Box.
- From the drop-down list "Outgoing calls", select the number that FRITZ!App Fon should use for making calls.
- Select the numbers that FRITZ!App Fon should react to when you receive calls.
- Click "OK" to save the settings.
6 Configuring FRITZ!App Fon for VPN
If you set up the VPN connection in Android or iOS, then you must configure the following settings in FRITZ!App Fon so you you can conduct calls over the VPN connection:
Configuring FRITZ!App Fon for iOS
- Start FRITZ!App Fon.
- Tap "More" and then "Settings".
- Tap "Select FRITZ!Box".
- Tap "Enter the IP address manually".
- Instead of entering fritz.box, enter the local IP address of the FRITZ!Box (192.168.178.1 in the factory settings).
Configuring FRITZ!App Fon for Android
If you are using Android 5 ("Lollipop") or higher, you can use FRITZ!App Fon over a VPN connection without having to configure any settings first. The following settings are necessary in Android 4.4:
- Start FRITZ!App Fon.
- Tap "More" and then "Settings".
- Tap the menu key and then "Advanced".
- Enable the option "In all networks - Connect to FRITZ!Box even if WLAN is not connected".
When you now start FRITZ!App Fon, FRITZ!App Fon automatically connects to the FRITZ!Box and remains active in the background. This way you can then quickly and easily make calls over the FRITZ!Box. If you also use other telephony apps (such as Joyn) on your smartphone, then you must always start FRITZ!App Fon before you start the other telephony apps because otherwise automatic registration with the FRITZ!Box can fail. If you want, you can also completely close FRITZ!App Fon in Android. FRITZ!App Fon is always open in iOS.
