This summer, everybody is going into a very dark place. Superman is growing an underwater beard and getting angsty, Iron Man is getting his soul crushed, and Star Trek wants you to know that it's going into darkness so badly, they put that in the title. So if you're planning to film an epic story about a legendary hero, you better invest in some night-vision lenses, is what we're hearing.
But how can you make your hero's journey really really dark? Not just sort of fuzzy and gray but holy crap I can't see my hands dark? We dug deep and discovered some clues to the Ultimate Formula of Darkness.
So your first movie about a hero is usually the actual hero's journey, where he meets a crone, makes out with his sister and wrestles his father over a pit of chinchillas or whatever. At this point, thanks to Star Wars, we all know the hero's journey well enough to stumble through the oversimplified version of Joseph Campbell's one-size-fits-all monomyth in our sleep. But then what do you follow that with? Sequels tend to be either another spin on the same track, or some kind of unholy mess. But luckily, a few years ago, we had The Dark Knight — and everybody learned what comes after the hero's journey.
What did we learn from The Dark Knight? A few things. First of all, the only place to go after "epic" is "dark." (Quite possibly, a few people learned that from Empire Strikes Back, too.) And the villain in the first movie can be just sort of a random dude. Probably involved in the hero's origin story in some way, like he trained the hero or blew up the hero's father in a spaceship or whatever. But if you really want to go into the deepest, most light-starved regions of the soul, you need a Villain. Who can Act. And speechify, and mess with the hero's head. And get his Khan on.
But it's not enough just for the baddie to drag the hero into darkness, like by his hair or his armpits. The hero must have darkness in his soul to begin with, and the baddie sees the hero's inner spiritual darkness and decides to bring it out by surrounding it with more darkness, so that the inner and outer darkness will combine via some kind of spectral osmosis.
Also, the hero has either made himself a symbol of justice, or represents an organization that is a symbol of justice, or both. Because the hero represents America, in our vainglorious desire to clean up the world and fix the world's problems with our bare hands. He's America as Global Policeman and maybe also Global Superintendent, representing the America that unclogs the Third World's toilets and replaces the broken air conditioners of Democracy around the world, using like drone strikes and stuff. He's such a shining, spotless symbol, his dry-cleaning bills are the GDP of one of those Third World countries.
But being an epic symbol of heroism is kind of draining after a while, and the epic hero cannot scratch his ass in public. People are constantly telling him to respect his limits or to play by the rules or to obey the United Nations resolutions or not to launch drone strikes on civilian targets. He dreams about hanging up the uniform and going all Rabbit Angstrom on everybody, running off to shack up with a mysterious woman who wears nothing but sports sweatshirts around the house. Maybe starting a garden, or growing a fierce beard. Hand-fishing and spear-hunting elks.
So you have a hero who has gotten too good and garnered an outsized legend that he struggles to live up to. And meanwhile, he is constantly skirting the edge of the abyss because of the whole "not following the rules" thing. But if he goes too far over the edge, then he'll betray the legend he's created. Which is why the eloquent, speechifying, possibly poetry-quoting villain makes such a perfect foil — he crosses the lines the hero won't, and he represents the hero's dark side, and he also threatens to expose the hero as a sham. A bearded, hand-fishing sham.
The descent into the underworld does not happen because the hero has a free afternoon and thinks that darkness would make for a fun day trip. The abyss does not have a souvenir shop. Rather, the hero goes into darkness because he faces an existential threat that would make Jean-Paul Sartre want to lock himself in a windowless room with two lesbians.
All of the villain's deathtraps and mind games and massive explosions and so on are actually aimed at destabilizing the hero's ego and dramatizing the hero's tragic lack of omnipotence. The villain challenges the hero to be in like 20 places at once, and also to make impossible choices, and to answer riddles that are half in Sanskrit, half in Cajun slang. The hero arrives too late for a whole bunch of explosions, just in time to dodge some debris and pull some bodies out of the wreckage, and then ends up sitting in a dark room somewhere looking at his own hat, or maybe his own shirt if he's been working out.
But this is just the beginning — the tests only ramp up from there. There are decoys against decoys, there are holograms that self-destruct, there are mazes with walls that close in, there are possibly those 1990s posters where you have to try and see a dinosaur in the middle of a bunch of 3D colored blotches. The hero's pride is brought low. The villain does a variation on the Prisoner's Dilemma where there are 100 prisoners and they all have an incentive to cooperate but they're suspended upside down and force-fed Psilocybin and ipecac and nobody can find their own hands. What does it all mean? It means that nothing means anything. The villain, in the end, represents the audience's own secret longing for chaos and destruction, the crashing down of the social order that makes us have to go to work and sit in cubicles, yadda yadda. In the face of this personification of our own desire for mass destruction, the hero is a helpless giant.
In the end, the villain holds a twisted mirror to the hero's face, which makes it look as though the hero needs dental work. Even though the hero wore braces and slept with a retainer in his mouth throughout his entire adolescence, and now spends an hour flossing every day. This vision of dental abnegation is the ultimate challenge to the hero's mythos, the final cataclysm that pushes the hero over the line.
In the final reel, it all finally becomes too much. Our hero GOES ROGUE, or possibly cuts gluten out of his diet. There needs to be some kind of shocking final twist, to match The Dark Knight's "taking the fall" moment or Wrath of Khan's death of Spock. You haven't really traveled to the abyss if you walk out unscathed afterwards. There need to be terrible costs from descending into the pit, preferably at least some minor brain damage if not a few dead sidekicks. I'm hoping the new Trek movie ends with Kirk having a permanent facial tic every time someone says "John Harrison" or even mentions Harrison Ford.
Because when you sink all the way to the bottom of The Darkness, you find a cauldron of fire, that burns away all of your false ideals and facades, leaving something red hot and probably a little bit misshapen. Or maybe you just thrash around down there bumping into walls until you find a flashlight. I dunno.

On the old forum (RIP) some one had asked the question of what was the difference between the Remington trench shotgun versus the Remington riot shotgun. I was shuffling thru some old magazines and in the November 2009 issue of American Rifleman I found one page of an article that gives a description. "The Model 10 trench guns were finished in Remington's commercial-grade blue, and the stocks were unmarked and unadorned with checkering or other embellishments. The top of the barrel was marked "Model 10-A" along with Remington patent dates. Factory records indicate some 3,500 trench guns were made for the government during WW 1. They were stamped on the left side of the receiver with a "US" and the Ordnance Dept.'s "flaming bomb" insignia to denote government ownership. The approximate serial number range was 117731 to 165566 with a "U" prefix to the serial number.
In addition, the government purchased 1,150 plain-barreled Model 10 "riot guns". These differed from the Model 10 trench guns as they had 20" (rather then 23") barrels, and were without hand guards, bayonet adapters, or sling swivels. The martial markings were applied to the top of the barrel rather then on the side of the receiver. These guns, designated "10-R" were in the same general serial number range of the model 10 trench guns. The Model 10-R's were used mainly for guarding prisoners."
After the War, many trench guns were modified to riot guns by removing the hand guards and bayonet lugs, and had the barrels chopped to 20". They retained the martial markings on the left side of the receiver and sling swivels.
Hope this helps and is still relevant. Jim....
Well, the board is either fixed, or it's going to run terribly. Cross your fingers and hope for the best. I'm at my technical limit right now.

This homemade costume for kids entered our 2011 Halloween Costume Contest.
A word from Sarah, the 'Lego Ninja' costume creator:
This is the costume that my husband built for our 9 year old son Benjamin. Benjamin is a Lego fanatic and decided that he wanted to be this particular red Lego figure that he had. My husband attached styrofoam to a sonnet tube and carved the helmet. The yellow face is actually a piece of screen that he spray painted yellow and inserted it into the helmet. The body is a box and the legs are foam pants. His "C" hands and ninja sword are made out of PVC piping. My husband spent 4 weekends and quite a few week nights on this costume. I am not sure how much it cost, my husband said he stopped keeping track at $100. It came out great though!!!

Series Profile
Genre: Comedy
Rating: Unknown
Synopsis: Growing Pains was about a family of five, the Seavers, who lived on Long Island, New York. Jason Seaver was the father, a psychiatrist and Maggie, his wife, was a journalist. Together, Maggie and Jason raised four children. They often worried about "who would stay home with the baby" or would "be there for the kids" and the responsibility was often juggled, even fought over, between the two parents but eventually settled. The youngest, Chrissy, wasn't born until the 4th season and suddenly "grew up" from being a toddler to a five year old between the 5th and 6th seasons. The oldest of the four children was Mike. A dare-devil yet charming, Mike helped Growing Pains ratings shoot sky high and quickly became the 80's pin up boy appearing on cover after cover of teen magazines.

ORLANDO, Fla. -- The Brandeis baseball team got its first two extra-base hits of the season, home runs by senior Sean O'Hare (Southampton, Mass./Hampshire Regional) and junior Chris Ferro (Walpole, Mass./Walpole), but Augustana University's bats exploded for runs in every inning as the Vikings took a 16-2 decision at the Russ Matt Invitational in Florida. Augustana improves to 2-1 on the season, while Brandeis falls to 2-2.
Augustana wasted no time in getting on the board, scoring five in the first against rookie starter Elio Fernandez (Bronx, N.Y./Fordham Prep). The Vikings took advantage of four hits, a walk and two hit batsmen in the frame. The Judges looked like they would get momentum in the bottom of the first, when O'Hare led off the inning with a solo home run, the sixth of his career. The Judges put two more runners on in the inning thanks to an error and a walk, but line-drive double play helped Viking starter Brian Konecke get out of any further trouble.
After Augustana added one more run in the second against Fernandez, Brandeis again looked to get something started when rookie DH Dan Gad (Mansfield, Mass./Mansfield) and classmate LF Zach Bardwell (No. Andover, Mass./Central Catholic) led off with back-to-back singles. Konecke was able to pick Gad off of second, however, and get two fly balls to left field to keep the Judges at bay. Konecke held Brandeis to just two more hits the rest of the way, a single by rookie 3B Tom McCarthy (Yonkers, N.Y./Fieldston School) and Ferro's sixth-inning home run. The round-tripper was the seventh of his career.
Augustana scored single runs in the second, fourth, fifth and seventh innings, while striking for four in the third and three in the sixth. Brandeis used six different pitchers in the game, with Fernandez suffering the loss, allowing 10 runs on 10 hits in 2.1 innings of work.
The Judges look to get back in the win column against Farmingdale (N.Y.) State University on Friday morning.

Abortion protestors call for Houston clinic to be shut down during investigation
Anti-abortion protestors on Thursday called for a Houston clinic under local and state investigation to be shut down, claiming it performs gruesome late-term abortions similar to those done by a Philadelphia doctor sentenced last month to life in prison.
The group of 15 to 20 protestors, who included three speakers from out of town, gathered near the entrance to Texas Ambulatory Surgical Center, 2502 N. Shepherd.
They called for it to be closed while it is under investigation following allegations by former workers that the facility performs illegal late-term abortions.No official has presented any proof that the clinic or staff members have done anything wrong. The Texas Medical Board also recently looked into complaints made by an anti-abortion group and found no evidence that the clinic's operator, Dr. Douglas Karpen, had violated any standards of medical practice.
Karpen's attorney, Chip Lewis, said Thursday's demonstration was a "pathetic political ploy" by those pandering to the emotional reaction to Dr. Kermit Gosnell's recent trial in Philadelphia.
Last month, Gosnell was sentenced to life in prison after being convicted of murder in botched abortions. During the trial, prosecutors said Gosnell snipped the necks of babies born alive.
Karpen's practice in no way resembles what Gosnell was doing, Lewis said.
"There is absolutely no truth to any allegation that Dr. Karpen has violated any law or committed any crime whatsoever," Lewis said. "He never performed any abortion outside the law."
On the contrary, Lewis said, Karpen has a long history of cooperating with law enforcement on various cases that have come before him.
In this situation, Karpen has opened all his records to the Houston Police Department and the Harris County District Attorney's Office, Lewis said.
"We will continue to do that as Dr. Karpen has absolutely nothing to hide," he said.
A spokeswoman for the Texas Department of State Health Services said Thursday there is an open investigation of the facility.
The Harris County District Attorney's Office is cooperating with an investigation by the Houston Police Department, said DA's Office spokeswoman Sara Marie Kinney.
When the investigations are complete, Lewis said, they will confirm Karpen's innocence.
"And when they have done so, we will take the appropriate legal action to redress the malicious and false allegations made by these and other political opportunists," he said.
During the morning protest, there were five uniformed Houston police officers and at least as many police vehicles. The event was peaceful, drew no counter protesters, and nobody carried placards or graphic photographs.
Day Gardner, president of the National Black Pro-Life Union, flew in Thursday morning from Washington, D.C., saying she thought it important to be there.
Gardner and other speakers said the North Shepherd clinic, one of two operated by Dr. Karpen, performs late-term abortions similar to those done by Dr. Gosnell in Philadelphia.
"Kermit Gosnell is not an anomaly," Gardner said at the Houston protest. "Planned Parenthood and others who support abortion tried to make it seem like it was. ... Believe me when I say that abortionists across America are continuing where Gosnell left off."
According to reports from some of Karpen's former workers, sometimes the doctor would kill babies born alive by twisting their heads off their necks, Gardner said.
A woman at the clinic said Thursday, "We have absolutely no comment."
Pastor Stephen E. Broden of Dallas, spokesman for the Black Pro-Life Coalition, said abortion clinics tend to be in black and Hispanic neighborhoods.
"It is clear that the abortion industry and Planned Parenthood are targeting the black and Hispanic community," Broden said. "They have convinced women in our communities that (the answer) is to kill babies. This must stop."

Car accident injuries and deaths due to driving under the influence is a nationwide problem that also poses very high risks in the County of Rancho Cordova . Car crash injuries caused by intoxicated drivers make bold headlines and, too often, result in death in tragic car accidents.Our Rancho Cordova personal injury attorneys feel strongly about prevention of drunk driving accidents which, with a modicum of judgement, are entirely preventable. In 2015, a number of Rancho Cordova car accident injuries and deaths were traced to drunk driving – some involved wrong-way DUI drivers on freeways surrounding Rancho Cordova .
Personal injury attorney at Sette Law Office deal with too many drunk driving tragedies caused by this irresponsible behavior. While we pride ourselves in our legal expertise, our goal is to diminish the number of Rancho Cordova car crash injuries and deaths. As family members of this community, the desire of our personal injury lawyers is to create a safer environment for all of Rancho Cordova . Car accident injuries and deaths may happen, in part, because people don't understand how alcohol works in the body. Our Rancho Cordova personal injury attorneys must have a command of facts regarding the effects of alcohol as we advocate for clients harmed in a Rancho Cordova car accident. Injuries suffered because of DUI drivers are seldom minor and always preventable.
Car crash injury can be caused by drivers who don't understand how much, is too much. Our Rancho Cordova personal injury lawyers explain that Blood Alcohol Content of .08 is the point of legal intoxication. This is where reaction time and coordination is slowed and drinkers are so sedated they may cause a Rancho Cordova car crash. Injuries are typically severe in cases where excessive speed is a factor in the Rancho Cordova car crash.
Injuries, however, can happen at much lower BAC levels. Personal injury lawyers remind people that alcohol immediately enters the bloodstream and the effects on
reactions and alertness threaten a car accident in Rancho Cordova . Personal injury attorneys at Sette Law Office say it's wise to wait for 45 minutes after a drink to
drive in Rancho Cordova . A car crash with personal injury is more of a risk even after just one drink. Drinks after the first will add even more time before a driver can safely
get behind the wheel in Rancho Cordova . Car accident injury is a threat at a BAC of just .05 which can take two hours to drop to .00.
Our personal injury attorney refers people to a very helpful website that has drunk driving information, party posters and more that can help community members stay safe and never have to experience a Rancho Cordova car accident injury. Please visit "DrinkingAndDriving.org."
At Sette Law Office in Rancho Cordova , our personal injury attorney is committed to advocating for our clients and to keeping our community safe from drunk driving car accidents.

The "I'm Every Woman" hitmaker, who reached the milestone on Saturday, gathered friends and family together at the Yamashiro restaurant in Los Angeles on Thursday.
The event also marked her 40-year career in music, and guests including Natalie Cole, Anita Baker and David Foster turned out to celebrate her birthday and stellar time in the spotlight.
Khan admitted to CBS she was stunned with how fast the decades have flown, insisting, "I don't know where the time went. I have no idea. It doesn't feel like 40 years! This is fabulous, but it really hasn't hit me yet."

Preseason polls, expectations have done little to slow FSU hockey, hoops
Look who's in first place ... it's the Ferris State women's basketball team.
Yeah, that's true. But look who else is in first place ... it's the Ferris State men's basketball team.
Again, that's true. But there's yet another local collegiate program in first place ... it's the Ferris State hockey team.
Take a second and think about that. Not only is Big Rapids the home of three teams that are in sole possession of first place in their respective division and conference races — none of them were expected to be there.
The men's hoops team lost four starters to graduation and had to replace GLIAC Player of the Year and All-American Justin Keenan. As a result, they were picked to finish third in the GLIAC North in preseason polls.
Expectations for the women's team were even lower, with the Bulldogs picked to finish fifth out of seven teams in the GLIAC North. FSU is off to a 10-1 start to the conference season, including two wins over the division favorite Michigan Tech.
Then there is the Bulldog hockey team, which swept Michigan State in leapfrogging four teams to move into first place in the CCHA. They were picked to finish ninth in the league in the preseason coaches poll after losing arguably their two best players in Zach Redmond and Pat Nagle.
So what does this prove? It could show that nobody knows how to predict a conference champion.
But more than that, it shows that the Bulldogs have been this year's overachievers in not one, but three sports this winter.
That's what makes the results all the more intriguing. Many — in Big Rapids and beyond — have to admit they didn't see this coming. The men's and women's basketball team had talent, but seemed to have that "they're still a year away" label ready before the start of the season.
The hockey team lacked proven goal scorers and were replacing defensemen and a starting goaltender that were the backbone of the team that finished fifth in the CCHA a season ago.
Inside the numbers
Each team, however, has found a way to win.
One common thread in each team's success — defense — is at the center of their winning ways.
The Ferris women lead the league in scoring defense in conference play, giving up just 55.6 points per contest.
The Ferris men rank fourth in the league in scoring defense at 63.7 points per game.
The men's hockey team ranks first in the CCHA in scoring defense, allowing just 2.25 goals per game in climbing up to sixth in national polls.
But statistics only tell half of the story.
Each team has made its way to the top of the standings with a unique set of challenges, yet found a way to overcome those obstacles more than halfway through the conference schedule.
The women's basketball team has a great player in Sarah DeShone, but others have stepped up to make the Bulldogs one of the most balanced scoring rosters in the league.
The men have eight freshmen on the roster. Not only have those freshmen stepped into roles that were reserved for seniors a year ago — they have filled those roles admirably in helping the Bulldogs create a new team identity. Combined with the leadership and production they've gotten from upperclassmen Kenny Brown, Jerrell Sanders and Dontae Molden, the Bulldogs clearly have been the surprise team in the GLIAC North.
The hockey team has mended its midseason woes on the power play and penalty kill to turn those deficiencies into strengths.
Looking ahead
Now, a lot has to be settled. The men's basketball team still needs to travel to take on Findlay, Wayne State and Grand Valley State, while hosting the GLIAC's best team, Hillsdale. This is a young team that will be tested in its last eight conference bouts.
The women also have challenges on the horizon, hosting Ashland and Lake Erie, while traveling to Findlay — all top tier conference teams.
The Bulldog hockey team is in what might be the most competitive collegiate hockey conference in America this season, so it goes without saying that predicting the outcome of the next eight games would be premature, especially with talented teams like Western Michigan and Notre Dame on the schedule.
Can all of these teams win conference or division titles this season? Absolutely. The Ferris women (10-1 in conference play) seem to be the most likely candidate to take home hardware this season with a cushion separating them and the division's second place team Michigan Tech (8-4) — a team it already swept this season.
The men's basketball and hockey teams have tougher schedules and stiffer competition on the horizon, but both have shown the capability to compete with the league's best.
Predicting how each of these teams will finish is, of course, fruitless. Coaches and the media obviously sold the Bulldogs short in preseason polls.
Ferris State hockey coach Bob Daniels said this before the start of the season, and it remains one of my favorite quotes I've ever received from a coach:
"It's a great tool for conversation, but it's nothing that we use for motivation," Daniels said of preseason polls back in September. "It kind of comes across as lame if you're looking to use that as motivation. There are enough reasons out there for wanting to win."
Daniels, along with Ferris State basketball coaches Tracey Dorow and Bill Sall obviously weren't paying too much attention to preseason expectations. They all currently sit in first place in the conference in their respective sports.
No preseason poll can change that.

FCC to Make Internet Service a Public Utility
Do you want your Internet service provider to operate like the water company or the electric company? Internet access services will be more like these leaden public utilities if the Federal Communications Commission tries one of the more likely workarounds to a D.C. Circuit Court decision today that restricts its authority to regulate.
The story is long and involved—read it in the court's opinion if you like—but the FCC has sought for years now to regulate broadband Internet service providers something like it used to regulate AT&T, with government mandated terms of service if not tarriffs and price controls. This doesn't fit the technical environment of the Internet, which allows for diverse business models. Companies that experiment with network management, pricing, internal subsidy, and so on can find the configurations that serve widely varying consumers and their differing Internet needs the best. If government believes in fast lanes and slow lanes, surely Internet service providers could optimize service for movie delivery, video calling, and such, while email arrives a little less speedily.
The court found that the FCC's plans don't fit with its classification some years ago of broadband as an "information service," subject to the light‐touch regulation under Title I of the Communications Act. Title II, which applies to "telecommunications carriers," allows common carrier regulation of the type the FCC is trying to impose. So watch for the FCC to conveniently change its mind and begin pushing for treatment of broadband once again as a "telecommunications service." This is so it can have more control over the business decisions made by Internet service providers.
We made the case more than five years ago that " 'Net neutrality" is a good engineering principle, but it shouldn't be a legal mandate. Technology and markets surpassed any need for command‐and‐control regulation in this area long ago. But regulators don't give up power without a fight. To maintain power, the FCC may try to make Internet service a public utility.

By Sue Ann Rybak
Seven candidates for the 8th District Council seat debated issues such as priorities, gun violence, term limits, economic development, the DROP program and the recent scuttling of a charter school proposal at Martin Luther King High School at a forum April 27 at the First Presbyterian Church in Germantown.
The debate was sponsored by WHYY/Newsworks, the Committee of 70, G-Town Radio, the league of Women Voters and Germantown Community Connection.
All seven Democratic candidates – Cindy Bass, Bill Durham, Andrew Lofton, Greg Paulmier, Robin Tasco, Howard Treatman and Verna Tyner – attended the debate. Most of the questions from the debate – asked by WHYY's Chris Satullo – were derived from WHYY-sponsored voter forums held throughout the 8th District.
Priorities and Communication
Candidates were asked how they would differ from the incumbent councilwoman, Donna Reed Miller, on the issues of communication with the public, transparency and accountability to residents. All the candidates stated they would open an office in the 8th District with hours that are convenient to constituents.
Early on, Satullo asked the candidates to address the quality of life in Northwest Philadelphia.
"The Northwest has experienced in recent years a worrisome exodus of middle class – as a councilperson what are the three most important issues you would work on to halt that exodus?" he asked.
Tyner said she would focus on education and economic development. Treatman said he would "create a better life" by focusing on education and the economy. He said he would be an advocate for the public school district and would also address public safety and the tax climate in Philadelphia – the two major reasons the middle class leaves the city.
Tasco said she would improve the quality of life in the 8th District by focusing on improving the economy, education, technology and creating green jobs. Greg Paulmier said he would focus on the economy by generating jobs and revenue to fix the problems in the 8th District.
Lofton said that the quality education is important to the family structure. He said he would focus on having good schools, economic development and rejuvenating the historic district. William Durham said he would focus on issues such as public safety, education and bringing resources back to the 8th District.
Cindy Bass said it was important to address the perception of crime. She would focus on maintaining a skilled workforce, decreasing crime and retaining people in the city.
Candidates were asked to address the controversy at Martin Luther King High School involving what many believe is political arm-twisting regarding Foundations Charter School. The controversy began after a charter school company approved by the King School Advisory Committee endorsed by the School Reform Commission suddenly pulled out and parents were told that it had been replaced by Foundations, a company with ties to State Senator Dwight Evans.
It was then revealed that a closed door meeting with Evans and school officials took place just before the change was announced. Parents were outraged and Foundations retreated, leaving a lot of planning in ruins and the Mayor calling for an investigation of the whole mess. The charter school contract for five years was reportedly worth $50 million.
"Should politicians stay out of issues of direct school management?" Satullo asked. "And what is the way you would engage productively?"
"The incident at the Martin Luther King really illustrates the problem with the lack of transparency with large government contracts in the 8th District," Treatman said. "The idea of politicians' deals on the side is really an indication of what is wrong with the political culture."
Durham also was critical of what appeared to be a back-room deal.
"The councilperson should be making sure that the community gets what they desire for their kids because that process is out of control," Durham said.
"Their plan overrode what the community decided was best for their school," Tasco said.
Paulmier stressed the fact that the community's wishes should have been carried out.
"Students, parents and faculty need to be involved in the process," he said.
Bass said she supported the Mayor's call for an investigation and said it was important to find what the facts are and hold people accountable. She added that transparency was critical and that everyone should have a voice in the process.
Lofton agreed and said he would support an investigation. He added that one of the problems in our schools is that students are ill prepared to go to college. Students need to have the skills necessary to succeed, he said.
"First, we have to get a fix on what is going on in our schools," Lofton said, noting that the community had decided what they thought was best for their school.
"A group of people got in a room and decided that the community does not deserve that the main thing we should be focused on is education, Tyner said. "Politicians should not dictate how the schools should be run. If we were doing our jobs we wouldn't have to have an investigation because we would be already on top of it."
Returning Control to the City
In a follow up, candidates were asked if they favored bringing the Philadelphia school district under the full control of the city. The state set up the School Reform Commission, which now manages the district.
Bass, Durham, Paulmier, Tasco and Treatman said they would like to return full control to the city. Verna Tyner said she would with conditions. Lofton also said he would with conditions.
"The first thing we need to do is fix the city situation," Lofton said.
"We need to get control over what we have right now," Tyner said. "No matter who has control, the bottom line is education. We need to make sure we are ready and able to take back control of our young people."
Bass was eager to work on getting the schools back.
"Harrisburg has had every opportunity to help us fix our schools," Bass said "But they don't give us the support we need here in the city."
"We have a problem," Treatman said, referring to massive education cuts proposed by Pennsylvania Governor Tom Corbett "We need to take back control without losing that funding. We do not have a friendly state in control of our schools. They are not looking out for the interest of our kids."
"The bottom line is we should bring schools back under our realm," Tasco said.
Durham said he supported returning control to the city.
"When you have a for-profit running our schools, their focus in going to be making a profit not on the students," he said.
Development and corruption
Concerns were brought up at the debate regarding government-supported development being planned out of public view and in ways that smack of favoritism and insider deals. Candidates were asked how they would address development in the district.
"It will not happen on my watch – development is key, " Bass said. "It is critical that community is involved,"
Durham said that in this neighborhood, there was always the perception that a deal was going down.
"As a councilperson, I would go along with the community wishes," he said. "They know exactly what they need, exactly what they want and what makes them happy as citizens in this district."
Lofton said he would appoint a community council. Development proposals would come before the council for the community to decide whether or not they wanted a specific development, he said.
"The community must be involved in any community involvement," Paulmier said. "If the community decides what should be there, then the chances that it will succeed our much greater. We should be the first ones to be talked to."
What is most important is that we involve our city planning office," Tyner said. "We don't always have to be reactive and wait till something comes up and slaps us in the face."
"This idea of elected officials working with a developer on the side is everything that's wrong with the 8th District, " Treatman said. "We had the same situation happen with Germantown Settlement, where the money disappeared, and the same thing with New Media Technology Charter School."
Tasco agreed with Treatman.
A stand on DROP?
One of the most raucous moments in the debate was the result of questions concerning the DROP program, which has allowed members of government, including members of City Council, to retire, collect hundreds of thousands in lump sum payments before returning to work. Some of those "retirements" have lasted a day.
"Would you pledge not to vote for council president for any member who has taken a DROP payment or plans to take a DROP payment?" Satullo asked.
Everyone except Bass said they would not support a member who has taken a DROP payment.
Bass said DROP was never intended for elected officials. She said she would not make any commitment to any official.
"The important thing is that we don't limit our options for the 8th District. I want to make sure I have all the resources available to be of service to the 8th District," Bass said.
Treatman disagreed.
"There are some things that are just black and white, and taking $500,000 and retiring for a day and then coming back and being Council President just isn't right," he said. "A person who does that is not qualified to be Council President."
The Philadelphia Primary is on Tuesday, May 17.

This is probably the single most recognizable "cello" images to be found anywhere. I remember first studying Man Ray and the New York Dada in Art History Class and then later as I got into performing Dada and Fluxus works and doing performance art. In fact, it was one of the inspirations for an experimental cello video I did as part of a video collage component of a multi-media Performance Art performance I did at DePauw University back in 2002.
The Getty Museum has a very nice and concise description of the work:
Man Ray
American, 1924
Gelatin silver print
11 5/8 x 8 15/16 in.
Man Ray was an admirer of the paintings of Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres and made a series of photographs, inspired by Ingres's languorous nudes, of the model Kiki in a turban. Painting the f-holes of a stringed instrument onto the photographic print and then rephotographing the print, Man Ray altered what was originally a classical nude. He also added the title Le Violon d'Ingres, a French idiom that means "hobby." The transformation of Kiki's body into a musical instrument with the crude addition of a few brushstrokes makes this a humorous image, but her armless form is also disturbing to contemplate. The title seems to suggest that, while playing the violin was Ingres's hobby, toying with Kiki was a pastime of Man Ray. The picture maintains a tension between objectification and appreciation of the female form.
The video piece I did, titled le violoncelle de Silpayamanant, was simply a video of me 'shaving' one of my cellos. The title of the video fading into view at the end of the act and before the fade out the word "rase" (shaved) appears onscreen in my attempt to invoke Marcel Duchamp's "shaved Mona Lisa" series. Here's a still from the video:

Young landed awkwardly as he leapt over Lloris' flying attempt to win the ball, which Moyes remains convinced should have resulted in a penalty for his team and a red card for the Frenchman.
"Ashley has got an injury that is going to keep him out for a time," said Moyes.
"It is a shoulder injury he received in the challenge by the goalkeeper. I am not sure how long it will be."
Young's absence from Sunday's FA Cup third-round encounter with Swansea further fuels United's annoyance at Lloris getting away with his challenge.
Yet Moyes is not prepared to push for the widening of video technology beyond its current limit of determining whether shots have crossed the line or not.
"I wouldn't go down the route of video technology," said Moyes.
"I trust the referees to make the right decisions.
"They do make the wrong ones at times and I have not changed how I felt on Wednesday. I thought that was the wrong decision."
Moyes offered no further update on the fitness of Robin van Persie, who has missed six games with a thigh injury.
"We will let you know when he is ready," said the Scot.

1987 Ford Bronco II - Buckin' Bronco
Wrangling A Bronco II Through King Of The Hammers
In 2012 King of the Hammers added a race called the Smittybilt Every Man Challenge (EMC) in response to comments that the main race was getting too expensive for the average Joe to compete in. Rules for the stock class are strict, requiring stock engine and transmission and stock suspension configuration, and limiting tire size to 35-inch DOT-approved rubber.
The class is dominated by Jeeps, and Nick Baldwin of Southern California Auto Repair (SCAR) even built a Wrangler last year for a customer of his. When it came time to build his own ride though, Nick wasn't afraid to try something different. In fact, after nearly losing his life in a motorcycle accident five years ago, Nick isn't afraid of much anything. He decided to build a Bronco II with the assistance of his co-driver, Kurt Farrar, and the support of his wife, Jackie, and his parents.
While Nick had to end his race early due to overheating, he wasn't the only one. Out of 26 vehicles in the stock class, only one managed to finish the race! With a year to prepare for the next Every Man Challenge, we expect Nick Baldwin to be back next year to give the Jeeps a run for their money.

Another week, I'm sitting home cleaning the gear
The past two weeks have been frustrating. Constant marine forecasts for morning rain and thunderstorms have been followed by calm, balmy mornings with lovely overcasts that have not only been rain-free but ideal for working the edges of the Bay for marauding rockfish.
Those same low clouds are excellent concealment for any nasty squalls that do make their way down the Chesapeake. A squall could be on you with no warning whatsoever. Over my many years on the water, I've had more than my share of close calls, so getting caught in a vicious Bay whiteout is not on my list of things to do.
Consequently, I've been condemned to sitting at home, looking out the window at the listless tree line and sometimes feeling like a wimp for staying ashore. There I have taken the opportunity to clean up my gear, including scrubbing a couple of my favorite rods' very dirty cork grips.1
With Irene and Lee's aftermath still plaguing Bay waters, few anglers are venturing out to search our debris-strewn muddy waters for action. Consequently, it is difficult to assess the whereabouts of our stripers, perch, blues, spot and croaker. But it is reasonable to assume they are still around somewhere. The Eastern Bay and its relatively clearer water seems to be the one reliable location where stripers have been caught in any number; otherwise the mid-Chesapeake has been a dismal scene.
One of the more expensive and labor-intensive components of a fishing rod is its cork handle. Cork comes from the bark of the cork oak, a medium-sized evergreen that grows from southwestern Europe to northwestern Africa, though Portugal accounts for easily half of world production.
Cork trees aren't harvested of their bark until they are approximately 25 years old, often about 100 feet high. The unique hand-peeling collection process does not harm the tree, and subsequent harvests of the bark can be made every 10 years or so. The trees have a lifespan of approximately 200 years.
Cork repels water, is soft, extremely lightweight and buoyant, easily sculpted, compressible and resistant to wear: the perfect material for fishing rod handles. It is also environmentally friendly; the production of synthetic alternatives emits 25 times the carbon dioxide as cork growing and gathering.
Unfortunately, cork is also the perfect material for wine stoppers, automotive clutches, gaskets, flooring, soundproofing, shock absorption, insulation, footwear and many similar applications. The demand for the material has caused the price of the better grades of cork used on fishing rods to escalate considerably.
Cork rod handles are generally constructed of natural (as opposed to composite) cork cylinders approximately 1-1/4 inches in diameter and 1/2-inch thick. They have a small round hole in the center to receive the rod blank and are glued on one at a time until the desired length of the handle is reached. They are then held tightly together by a jig while the glue is allowed to set.
The handles are subsequently turned in a lathe with sandpaper applied along the length of the cork until the desired profile is attained. The final step is to fill in any gaps on the surface caused by small imperfections in the cork followed by an overall polish with extra-fine-grit paper.
Better grades of cork have fewer imperfections and are commensurately more expensive. High-end manufactured and custom rod handles made of the very best cork can approach $100 in materials alone. Considering that the finished grip will weigh in at two to three ounces, that is expensive indeed.
Lightweight, handsome and exquisite to the touch, well maintained cork fishing rod handles will easily last a lifetime.
If you keep them clean.
A gentle periodic scrubbing with soap and a light abrasive will quickly remove fish grime and dirt. Rubbing in a light coat of neatsfoot oil will condition the grip and preserve its appearance for as long as you own it.
That's what I've been doing these days when I should be fishing

Going through Philmont withdrawal? I feel your pain.
Fortunately, there's a way for both of us to get our Philmont fix each week.
I'm talking about PhilCast, Philmont Scout Ranch's new weekly videocast. Each episode highlights a different aspect of the massive high-adventure base and training center.
Three episodes have aired already, including one about the Philmont Training Center and another about Philmont's three excellent museums. So catch up before Monday when Episode 4 airs.
In that edition, the PhilCast team will venture into the backcountry to visit Cimarroncito, one of Philmont's largest backcountry camps.
Make sure you don't miss a single episode by subscribing to Philmont's YouTube channel. New episodes debut every Monday.
Three cheers for the three-person team behind this project: Sean Barber, Emily Fraser, and Marketing Manager Bryan Hayek.
Check out Episode 1 of PhilCast right below. But be warned: Watching these PhilCast videos can be habit forming!

40-Year Fugitive Search Continues
The aftermath of the attack on Sterling Hall at the University of Wisconsin
40 years ago this week
Terror at Sterling Hall
40 Years Later, Fugitive Search Continues
Where is Leo Burt? You can earn up to $150,000 by helping us find him.
Forty years ago—on August 24, 1970—Burt and three other young men protesting the Vietnam War carried out a pre-dawn bomb attack at the University of Wisconsin in Madison that would stand as the largest act of domestic terrorism in U.S. history until the Oklahoma City bombing 25 years later.
The three accomplices were eventually arrested and served time in prison for the bombing of Sterling Hall, which caused significant damage and the death of a physics researcher. But Burt—22 at the time and an aspiring journalist—has been on the run ever since.
Retired Special Agent Kent Miller, one of several agents to lead the hunt for Burt over the years, said the Bureau has run down hundreds of tips around the world—everything from Burt reportedly being homeless in Denver to working at a Costa Rican resort. But the fugitive has somehow managed to elude capture, leading some to believe he is dead.
Miller, who spent 36 years in the Bureau and is currently a deputy coroner in Madison, thinks Burt may still be alive. "If so, I don't think he's living in the United States. And if he is alive," Miller added, "he's got to be worried every day that he's going to slip up and get caught. That's no way to live."
Leo Burt's wanted poster, including images of what he might look like today.
A reward of $150,000 is being offered for information that leads to his arrest.
Special Agent Kevin Cassidy has been in charge of the investigation for the past three years. "Even after four decades," he said, "we cover every credible lead that comes in." Despite the passage of time, agents in the field are happy to help. "If we ever catch him," Cassidy said, "it will be due to the hundreds of agents who have been so diligent in their efforts."
Cassidy prefers not to speculate about Burt being alive or dead. "Until I know for sure," he said, "we will pursue him. This was the largest truck bombing in the country's history at the time, it did millions of dollars worth of damage, and Burt killed someone. He needs to be held responsible for that."
Burt was part of a radical anti-war group known as the New Year's Gang. They were targeting the Army Math Research Center in Sterling Hall to protest the Vietnam War and the university's involvement with the military. The explosion—heard some 30 miles away—caused extensive damage to the building and to 26 others, and resulted in the death of Robert Fassnacht, a 33-year-old father of three who was working late on campus to finish a research project.
Even though Burt is the only bomber to thus far avoid prison—the other three served relatively brief sentences—retired Agent Miller thinks he may have suffered the most.
"He had a fairly close family," Miller said. "But because he was on the run, he had to sever ties with his brother and other family members. He missed both his parents' funerals. When he became a fugitive," Miller added, "he basically gave up his life."
We need your help to locate Leo Burt. If you have any information, please contact your local FBI office or the nearest U.S. Embassy or Consulate. The FBI is offering a reward of up to $150,000 for information leading to Burt's arrest.

What does a Spanish tutor do?
The goal of a Spanish tutor is to help students improve their Spanish reading, writing, comprehension, and conversation skills. The tutor's approaches may vary, depending on whether the instruction is individual or a group class. Many Spanish tutors practice immersion — meaning they will speak only Spanish with their pupils. For students with little to no Spanish experience, the Spanish tutor may use a mix of Spanish and English to accustom their students to speaking the language.
A Spanish tutor can offer a wide range of services to their students. For students currently enrolled in a Spanish class through their middle school or high school, a Spanish tutor can help them with homework and language practice, as well as expanding their understanding of their current school curriculum. For adults, Spanish tutors will have different approaches based on that student's need. Academics and those seeking high-level professional development for their career will often have more intensive and targeted lessons, drills, and interactive speaking tests. For adults who wish to learn conversational Spanish for fun or for travel, lessons may revolve around learning commonly used phrases and practicing speaking in relaxed settings.
How do I become CPR and first aid certified?
You can earn CPR training and receive first aid certification in a number of ways. Choose an online course to learn the materials remotely and then find a testing location to complete the certification process with an in-person demonstration of your knowledge and skills. Encourage your workplace to host a first aid and CPR training so employees can learn what to do in case of a workplace emergency and how to respond with lifesaving techniques. You may also be able to take a CPR or first aid class in your community. A basic CPR training may run four to five hours. After receiving CPR training, you'll know how to respond if an adult or a child goes into cardiac arrest or stops breathing. You'll learn how to use chest compressions to keep blood pumping to a person's organs, which can keep them alive until an emergency responder can arrive. First aid and CPR training can also include education about how to use an automated external defibrillator (AED).
What is CPR training?
Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (better known as CPR) is a lifesaving manual technique that pumps oxygenated blood back into the body's organs if someone's heart or breathing has stopped. A variety of CPR training is available to community members, employees and healthcare providers. CPR training may last two to five hours or more, depending on the content and the target audience. During the training, students will learn how to recognize and respond to an emergency situation. There are different CPR techniques for adults and children, but with both you will learn how to determine whether the person is conscious before administering chest compression. During the training you'll learn chest compression techniques for adults and different techniques for children between the ages of 1 and 8. Students learn how to properly administer chest compressions, when the technique is appropriate and when it is not, and how long you must perform rescue measures. Students also learn what an automatic external defibrillator (AED) is and how to use it if necessary to shock a patient before administering CPR chest compressions.
What is first aid training?
With first aid training, you may be able to help save a life. First aid training can teach people who are not medical professionals how to help a sick or injured person in crisis before an ambulance arrives on the scene. Most commonly, first aid training helps teach you how to administer cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and use automated external defibrillators (AEDs).
First aid training can teach you how to respond in a variety of emergency situations, including:
- Asthma attack
- Anaphylaxis
- Burns
- Choking
- Diabetic emergencies
- External bleeding
- Heart attack
- Poisoning
- Neck, head or back injury
- Stroke
- Seizure
First aid training classes may be offered by professionals who are affiliated with the Red Cross, which offers online, in-person, and blended training classes. First aid classes are also often offered through local recreation centers, city services, schools, hospitals and private companies.
How much do first aid courses cost?
First aid training courses vary in cost depending on what's included, from basic first aid to cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) to pediatric CPR, as well as the length of the class and who's offering them. The national average cost for an in-person CPR and first aid class is $50-$75 per person. An informational CPR training costs less than one that leads to first aid training certification. For example, a two-hour course that trains you to administer CPR and use an automated external defibrillator (AED) costs an average of $35 per person; an employer may book the same class for a group of at least eight students for an average of $280. A four-hour CRP and AED training costs an average of $45 per person and $360 for at least eight people. Some companies offer add-on training to their CPR and AED classes, such as $5 per student to learn infant CPR, $15 each for oxygen administration training, and $15 each for bloodborne pathogen training. A first aid certificate is valid for two years.

Minn. pols oppose reducing biofuel mandate
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Members of Minnesota's congressional delegate are opposed to the Obama administration's proposal to reduce the amount of ethanol in the nation's fuel supply for the first time.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency on Friday proposed lowering the biofuel targets for 2014.
U.S. Sens. Amy Klobuchar and Al Franken, and U.S. Reps. Tim Walz and Collin Peterson, all Democrats, say the proposal would discourage investment in the biofuel industry and hurt jobs and rural communities across Minnesota.
Klobuchar says she'll encourage the Obama administration to reconsider.
Peterson, the ranking Democrat on the House Agriculture Committee, calls the Renewable Fuel Standard "vital to rural America's economic strength."
The change would reduce by almost 3 billion gallons the amounts of ethanol and other biofuels blended into gasoline in 2014 than the law requires.
