ELIZABETHVILLE — At the mid-point of the season, the Upper Dauphin Trojans are not where they would have like to be.
Sporting a 2-3 overall record and a 1-3 mark in the Tri-Valley League, the Trojans have lost three of their last four games.
"We are seeing some positives and, going into the second half of the year, we can build on that and learn from our mistakes," coach Brent Bells said.
In their three losses, Upper Dauphin has been outscored 67-20.
"All things considered, our attitude is pretty good," Bell added. "We have been close in some games and we are not getting blown out, so that is something positive to build on."
During a week-three game against Halifax, the Upper Dauphin special teams accounted for 35 of the 69 points in the TVL win.
"For the most part, special teams have been pretty good," Bell said. "We spend a lot of time on special teams and we treat every return like a scoring opportunity."
The Trojans come into Friday's game sixth in the TVL in scoring (23.6 points per game) while Juniata averages 28.8, second best in the league.
"Juniata is always a strong team and Chad Eberle (TVL's leading punt returner) is a quick runner and they rely on pulling their linemen," Bell said. "We have to be disciplined on defense and rely on each other on Friday. We started strong offensively this year but we've kind of sputtered as of late," Bell said. "We have not been able to finish our drives."
Juniata (2-3, 2-2 TVL) comes into Friday's game after a 47-44 shutout win over Juniata last week.
Quarterback Tyler Clark is second in the league with a 40.8 percent completion rate with five touchdowns and six interceptions on the year.
Juniata is eighth in the TVL in points allowed per game at 30.6. Eberle has four interceptions.

Christopher Helman, Forbes Staff
I'm based in Houston, Texas. Energy capital of the world.
The following is a guest column by, Richard B. Finger, a private investor with Ariadne Capital LLC, in Houston, Tex. The opinions expressed are his own.
My philosophies may be diametrically opposed to those of the simpletons in the Occupy Wall Street movement, but when it comes to the banks and the government, my anger makes me kindred with them.
I realized this on a recent cool, crisp October morning in Houston. With summer's gross heat and humidity gone, the weather is finally ripe for complaining. It's hard for me to remember the last time I attended a rally or demonstration either as observer or participant. "Occupy Houston" had arrived in Texas. Approaching the JP Morgan Chase building, the tallest in Houston, I heard the chants: "We want jobs, we want jobs." The chants morphed seamlessly into: "Corporate greed has got to go." The crowd really got lathered up on this one.
An amusing and (previous to me) noted irony is with all the railing and carping over corporate evils, it was hard to miss the Apple I-phones and I-pads. Certainly present were also phones powered by Google's android system. The Nike swoosh was prevalent. I can only guess the number of these corporation bashers who own Microsoft products. I even saw that elitist Ralph Lauren logo. Hard to know which nefarious corporation makes the cardboard for all those signs, but it is most certainly a big bad one that probably employs a whole lot of people. If they buy "green" electricity, (assuming they purchase any at all), which any demonstrator with an ounce of self-righteousness would, there's a real good chance they are supporting one of the biggest and "baddest" of them all, wind turbine manufacturer General Electric. Carefully ignored by these do-gooders is the confluence of grand creativity, greed, and billions in profits and millions of jobs these profits and cupidity have created.
Of course, signs with "we are the 99%" were ubiquitous. I have since understood this pithiness as something of a "corporate" logo. Pun intended. Judging from the recent employment reports, a more accurate mantra might drop one of those 9's.
One twenty something female with a large nose ring and indeterminate hair color told me she really didn't know what the exact platform was, though her unambiguous paperboard dispatch said, "take from the rich and give to the poor". Call me prejudice, but if the credibility of an organization is inversely proportional to tattoos and body piercings per square inch, this is a movement of dim prospects. One much older gentleman, (probably fortyish) claimed the Federal Reserve was a private company and should be handed to the government henceforth. I attempted a small dose of enlightenment but quickly met rabid intransigence. Another, a ponytailed stick like figure, explained the movement as one designed to give the country "back to the people". What? I queried a pregnant woman who had just rushed from yoga class to protest home foreclosures. Apparently, it was monumental injustice that the big bad bank was enforcing its contractual rights in light of over a year of non- payment. Comfort in being surrounded by the same species of fish. Engulfed in a haze of nescience was all I could feel. Amid this scene of "organized chaos" and disjointed dialogues there were some themes that personally resonated. "Bank CEO's Should Be in Jail" was one. Well, probably at least some of them. Another sign, "JP Morgan's $10 billion in bonuses belongs to us" might bear some debate.
Since attending the Houston rally, the movement has metastasized globally to include hundreds of thousands or even a several millions. Notwithstanding, the "Occupy Wall Street" movement, even egged on by our president, so far, in my opinion, has little more than nuisance value. Defacing parks, mini rioting and getting arrested analogizes them akin to the clutch of ragtag farmers with shovels and pitchforks marching on the local government demanding rain. These people don't even know what their hostility is about.
With no cohesive defined platform there can be no discernable end game. The only certitude is being very very angry. For sure, there is plenty to be aggravated about. So guess what, I'm really mad too. And polls consistently reveal that so are a vast majority of Americans no matter political stripe. Until late summer 2008 our economy, despite showing some signs of stress and trending down, was pretty much cruising along. And then along came the Lehman bankruptcy, the AIG bailout, TARP, revelation of the extent of the mortgage crisis and associated speculations, and failure of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. People were minding their own business and all of the sudden a cataclysm occurred. Unemployment soared, bank credit seized up, and our country was in recession. While there is some improvement from the 2009 bottom, the country continues mired in a malaise of slow growth and unacceptable unemployment. The result has been a zeitgeist, heartily promulgated in Washington, of "the banks are evil and it's all their fault so they are not entitled to profits ever again". Much more accurate is the top eight to ten banks employ well over one million people. They have paid all of their TARP money back, in full, with interest. These banks have helped and continue to assist millions of people obtain home mortgages and provided businesses, small and large, with working capital and other loans to expand, further increasing employment . When a bank makes a loan the very best outcome it can hope for is to get paid back with interest. What is also true is that there were (and still are) a few really bad apples at the banks, the investment banks (although they are now defined as banks), the ratings agencies, and the GSE's (Fannie and Freddie).
BUT, in many ways, our system has worked. Banks made loans equal to 90, 95 and even 100% of home values. When homeowners (speculators?) could not meet their mortgage payment obligations, banks enforced their contractual right to foreclose. Borrowers might have lost their down payment (5-10%), but banks were stuck with the rest of the risk and downside. The real loss has been borne by banks and their shareholders. A real transfer of wealth has gone from bank shareholders to defaulting homeowners. Exaggerated anger against the banks might be misdirected.
Though certain that "Occupy Wall Street" participants are in large part diametrically opposed to my economic philosophies, anger is the thread that makes us kindred. Much of the simplistic, often puerile, often non-sensible amorphous ranting ought to be "matured" to a more specific platform. Perhaps my partial list of ills might aid this unorganized mass to channel their indignations more productively:
–While banks accepted government loans and support, bankers felt entitled to billions in bonuses paid in 2008 and 2009. Bank boards were complicit in these awards. Egregious, unfair, and yes, immoral under the circumstances at the time, these should be "clawed back" (repaid back to the banks) and distributed to innocent shareholders who suffered.
cd…in this case that analogy would be the other way around. Mr. Finger manufactured, Mr. Helman distributed.
Please try deep cleansing breaths and no more energy drinks today.
You point out the weakness in the "Occupy" brand. Sure it can stretch to cover everything from anti-capitalism to anti-zionism, but can it embrace hypocrisy?
In other words, OWS protesters are as contradictory as supporters of the Tea Party movement. I remember seeing a Tea Party sign that said "Hands off my social security." It's just lots of anger and confusion.
it's an all encompassing lash-out. from education to just plain economic gouging of the public at large.
yeah, they may not need to buy an ipod, but it's corporate strong arming that insists they'll make the wrong decision by purchasing the competition, but then again the competition is way challenged because of copyrights, therefore the comp doesn't stand a real competitive chance when they're knocked out of whatever new technology comes on the scene and that's just that part, what of the labor issue? all of the great products that are manufactured outside of this country. that labor, those wages, that product is lost because corporate can't maintain living wages within, but all they're really concerned with is their growth and their competitive spirit within, meaning the populace is their pawns to discard. which part of america the beautiful mirrors that?
you can talk down on these people, calling them simpletons as you prefer, but you're just one guy with an opinion trying to be the giant in your own way. here's my opinion too. hoarders are just as simplistic in their infantile drives to dominate for no reason. the drive to have a business is all well and good, but to desire to want to crush competition is the doomsday at our feets, beckoning us to take that next step.
I don't mind your tone or you calling the regular American a simpleton, Mr. Finger, because that comes from your upbringing and from the people you socialize with.
But you can't expect every single person to understand and have a solution to all of our country's problems. The only thing we know is that millions are unemployed, uninsured and hungry and something isn't right.
We are represented, or at least we should be, by people who are paid to understand what those problems are and how to solve them. If I am ill I don't expect my doctor to say "Tell me how to cure you".
If you are angry as you say and you do have the knowledge that so many of us lack, then maybe you should focus that anger at the ones who are causing it instead of the people that suffer from it.
I like it…
OK your prejudice and so much more.
You do have a point in some things but "home foreclosures enforcing its contractual rights in light of over a year of non- payment."
I got foreclosed for 2 months late, You flippin' idiot. In Nov I sent my payment called the following month as I always did just before sending the next months payment asked if they received Nov payment. they said yes. then I asked what would happen if I missed Dec. and make double payment in January, I wanted extra cash for Christmas but I was not going to skip it if they told me something bad. but they said it was OK that I would just be marked as late and this was my very first time ever being late in 12 years.
So in January I sent 2 payments they sent it back with a certified foreclosure notice to pay in 15 days of 5,000 plus what I owed in order to stop the foreclosure, I found out the post office lost Nov payment, the bank lied saying they did receive Nov payment but I had no proof of them saying this. so I resent Dec & Jan and did not pay any of my reg-bills to pay for Nov payment and the 5,000. I had to wait 90 days to get the post office to reimburse the lost payment so I did not have that.
January & Feb and March was hard , my kids ate roman our electric and water and phone was shut off for a month and during winter it was F'in cold, I never ask any one for help. but this is how banks steel from people by taking advantage with there deliberate mistakes and deception and we are the one's that suffer. Some was legitimately foreclosed on but a lot was not. A lot of folks got foreclosed because of banks and mortgage companies mistakes and deception and it's bull crud that folks that lost jobs get foreclosed after two months late. and collage student's can't pay for there collage because there are no jobs because this f'in government is more concerned about creating foreign jobs then it is American jobs, and banks get bailed out with no accountability Have you even read the Dodd Frank Act. Yes there is some good in it but there is also loopholes that big corporations can get around, nothing knew for the government. Just like Obama's jobs plan it has loopholes also.
The government wants to cut Medicare and energy assistance and other important program's the lower income folks really need instead of cutting nonessential program's like research on frogs and swine waste management and peanut research oh And critter crossings.
There is so many things that is wrong they all can't be fixed at once but big corporations and the government can start listening, the people are letting them know there tired of it ,there tired of the games the childish actions, There tired of being ignored. "The American people are saying 'Enough.' and dumb asses like you criticize the protesters who is trying to speak for the majority of Americans that can not have there voices heard.
Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoe.
I love his explanation that the executive ranks are being paid entrepreneur salaries for managerial jobs. Most people can accept the huge wealth amssed by people who created a company, but the Robert Nardelli and Dick Grasso like paydays for simply reaching the top rung has to end.
Christopher, i agree with some of the goals you suggest for OWS but, since you share in the anger of 'the simpletons' (as you so nobly describe people who actually have the balls to go out and DO something about their grievances instead of carping and criticizing from the sidelines like yourself), why don't you get out there and protest alongside them. oh, i know. like most true 'simpletons' in america, you are too afraid that you may be identified as a smelly hippy or worse. please pull your finger out and help do something that might actually change things. i happen to be in the 1% but i still made time to go down to occupy LA and protest last weekend – if only to show that it is not just 'hippies and homeless' who want justice and democracy for america.

The Journal Sentinel's team of Packers beat writers provide the latest news, notes and analysis
The parent coach becomes the fan
Green Bay – Packers special teams coordinator Shawn Slocum was lucky. His father was a football coach. But R.C. Slocum, the coach of Texas A&M from 1989 to 2002, wouldn't let Shawn play Pop Warner football as a kid. Eventually, Slocum went out for his seventh grade football team on his own – and proceeded to immediately break his arm. He hid it from his parents for a month, until the pain was so bad he went to the doctor. With the broken bone calcifying, he had to tell his father.
"My dad realized my arm was broken and he felt really bad," said Slocum. "I came home one night and had a cast on my arm."
From there, it was clear Shawn Slocum had a love for the game – and it was his choice to play it. It wasn't forced on him by an overbearing father.
"I think the best thing for kids is to create an environment that is conducive for the child to enjoy playing and let it be fun," said Slocum. "Then they start learning the value of teamwork and those things. But I see sometimes people who are just overbearing to children. That's not my style.
"If I had a question with the game, he would help me with it. But he wasn't in the back yard drilling me how to play football. He kind of let me gain an interest and then supported me."
Slocum was interviewed for a story in today's Journal Sentinel. Have you ever wondered what runs through the minds of the coaches who have kids in youth sports programs? How men with Super Bowl titles, Big Ten championships and their own sports instructional videos turn over their children over to volunteer coaches for third grade basketball practice?
Well, it can be strange and awkward. It can be pretty comical. And it turns the tables and makes the coach a fan.
A helpless, second-guessing, always-questioning . . . fan.

Eileen Fisher Garment-Dyed Stretch-Cotton Twill Pants 16 16
Great fit Perfect amount of stretch and they keep their form all day. I'm a fan. I'm typically a size 6, but ordered the size four and they fit fine. July 27, 2014
surprisingly great jeans These are comfortable, dark wash denim. They are quite stretchy but look sleek and have a great fit. I took a chance, never buying EF jeans before. Despite the stretch, they don't have to be washed right away to maintain shape so I suspect will be great for traveling too. Price decent when on sale. May 31, 2014
Great fit and quality I've had good luck with Eileen Fisher jeans, and these pants are excellent too. I especially love the plainness and lack of logos on EF clothes, and the fit is always perfect. As always with EF, the sizes run large. May 24, 2014
Eileen Fisher Rules! I bought these pants in both colors and as an added bonus they were on sale. What a great deal and what a great fit--5'6" 124 pounds and a 6 is perfect. May 5, 2014
So comfortable! These pants feel so good while wearing. Great fabric which I have come to expect from EF. Because they feel good, I feel great when wearing them! Even in 90+ weather. Also wash well May 3, 2014
They fit on arrival! I have never wanted to order jeans online because of cut and fit issues. But I gave it a try during a promo sale and was happy I did. These are comfortable and can go all day. Looks good with boots or rolled at the ankles with a pair of Eileen Fisher sandals. Size 6 fit right on. I am 5'4 and 135. Even if I lose the 10 pounds I am trying for, the fit will just be even better and a cute belt will work well with these. Lots of stretch and material is light enough for summer in California. Wish there were more colors, I purchased both white and black. March 11, 2014

Writing to Sully
would like to write Sully a note...how best to do that so that the whole world doesn't see it?
Replies to This Posting
Re: Writing to Sully
Just my 2 cents, maybe there is a way but I don't think so. I think a ton of people would love to get in touch with him and he'd be hounded with letters, v-mail, e-mail and I'm sure his twitter account is full.
Maybe there's a way to send the note to Dom and she could pass it on, but then she'd be doing that for everyone.
I'm thinking the best way would be a M&G and the ultimate way... buy AVALON DVD and win a golden ticket, then you'll spend a day with him and can tell him in person.
Good luck, hope you find a way.

A message in a bottle has consistently worked for me. It takes a couple of years but he always responds.

Eric Goldman, Contributor
I write about Internet law, intellectual property and advertising law
Periodically, a new controversy springs up about a website that encourages users to post anti-social or distasteful content. A few years ago it was sites like JuicyCampus or People's Dirt that requested users to gossip about each other; followed by IsAnyoneUp? that linked user-submitted pornographic photos to the subject's Facebook page. The latest website to stir up a media frenzy is Texxxan.com, which encourages users to post "revenge porn," i.e., pornographic depictions of former lovers, ostensibly to get revenge on them.
The Texxxan Lawsuit Will Fail
Texas lawyers recently filed a class action lawsuit against Texxxan.com, its web host GoDaddy ($DADY), its uploaders and its subscribers. No matter how much the lawyers hype their lawsuit in the media, it's mostly dead on arrival. All of the defendants–other than the users actually submitting the revenge porn–are protected by 47 USC 230, the law that says websites aren't liable for third party content. Section 230 also explicitly protects website users, so the claims against the website subscribers are specious. In fact, Texas recently enacted a broad anti-SLAPP law designed to discourage anti-free speech lawsuits. If the courts determine that the revenge porn relates to a "matter of public concern" (not likely, but it is possible), the plaintiffs' lawyers will be writing checks to the improperly targeted defendants.
It's more complicated assessing the liability of the users who post revenge porn. We need to know more about how the defendants got the revenge porn and under what terms or understandings. (Obviously, that could lead to some salacious pillow-talk appearing in court records). Because the court will have to evaluate each submitted item's history on a one-by-one basis, the effort to organize a class action should fail for procedural problems (irrespective of its substantive merit or lack thereof).
Because the existing class action lawsuit is so weak, the Texxxan plaintiffs' best legal chance is to bring individual lawsuits against the defendants who did them wrong. Normally, when dealing with distasteful online content, plaintiffs have difficulty identifying the otherwise-anonymous defendants–a problem that encourages the plaintiffs to pursue easier-to-find defendants, like web hosts. In contrast, in this particular case, revenge porn plaintiffs often can find the defendants, because (we hope…) there's a limited number of people who have nude depictions of the plaintiff.
We Don't Need to Change the Law
Still, our current legal system isn't well-designed to redress user-submitted online pornography. And as a practical matter, even if the law were more effective, there will always be uncomfortably anti-social behavior online. So, what should we do differently?
Every time a distasteful content website flares up in the media, the pro-regulation crowd agitates for amendments to 47 USC 230. Personally, I find it hard to justify the non-consensual publication of pornography, but I am skeptical that 47 USC 230 needs fixing. First, we are already seeing troubling efforts to exploit the existing exceptions to Section 230, such as trademark lawsuits against consumer review websites and plaintiffs abusing copyright to create a "right to forget." Adding another exception will just create more possibilities for mischief. Second, all content regulation schemes are necessarily over- and under-inclusive. It's not surprising that Section 230 may leave some activity unaddressed; any other regulatory policy also would be imperfect. Third, while I have no love for distasteful content websites, I don't trust my powers to decide what's too distasteful or isn't–and I trust any regulators' ability to evaluate content even less.
Perhaps most importantly, distasteful content websites routinely fail on their own accord, often quite quickly. JuicyCampus? Gone. People's Dirt? Gone. IsAnyoneUp? Gone (but coming back?). Even Texxxan already put its content behind a paywall, rendering the content largely invisible. My guess it that Texxxan.com is already on an irreversible path towards a complete winddown. These shutdowns aren't an accident. Inevitably, the website operators face enormous pressure from the media coverage, the public's opprobrium, the threats of vendors (especially payment service providers or ad networks) to cut off or reduce service, and yes, even the legal risks. As a result, distasteful content websites have comparatively short shelf lives. As attributed to Lao Tzu (and repeated in the movie Blade Runner), "the flame that burns twice as bright, burns half as long." If the marketplace is going to drum these websites out of business organically, without any new laws, perhaps the existing regulatory policy is working OK.
Furthermore, many distasteful content websites exist principally because of Google ($GOOG) indexing. As Google evolves its algorithm, I hope it will eventually reduce the visibility of these low-value websites–which in turn will reduce the websites' financial potential. The ordinary evolution of Google's algorithm is far more likely to suppress distasteful content website entrepreneurship than any new law would.
The Future of Revenge Porn
Let's face it: between sexting and sex tapes, far more private pornography is being generated than at any point in human history. Whereas having nude/sexual depictions of a person used to be a rarity, for future generations (and perhaps current ones) such depictions are going to be normal–perhaps even ubiquitous.
When we reach that point, there will be substantially less "scandal" or taint associated with the unauthorized posting of nude/sexual depictions. After all, many other folks will have made similar depictions. The public dissemination of such depictions might still violate the privacy expectations of the depicted individuals, but it will not be seen as unusual.
This points the way to the long-term "solution" to the revenge porn "problem": we as a society will necessarily have to adjust our social norms about the dissemination of nude or sexual depictions to reflect their ubiquity. In fact, we're likely to develop a type of "blindness" to such content, just like today it's bad etiquette to check out a colleague's house value on Zillow ($Z)–or, at least, we don't discuss the prices publicly, even if we've checked them out. If we can wait until our social mores about online nude/sexual depictions adjust, we won't need any new laws to facilitate that adjustment.
Still, for individuals who would prefer not to be a revenge porn victim or otherwise have intimate depictions of themselves publicly disclosed, the advice will be simple: don't take nude photos or videos. Even if you never share them with anyone, these depictions seem to have a surprising capacity to leak out (for example, there are numerous stories of IT technicians or criminal hackers obtaining photos and videos). If you decide to take nude photos or videos, never share them with anyone else. Effectively, when you do, you are gambling that person will not betray your trust for the rest of their lives. The reality is that most people aren't that trustworthy; or even if they are, it's hard to know that in advance.
UPDATE: Prof. Mary Anne Franks (University of Miami) offers numerous criticisms of this post, including explaining why "Prof. Goldman's piece, and revenge porn defenses generally, goes beyond garden-variety victim-blaming."
It is NOT "existing regulations that are working"
its THE FREE MARKET
Before the internet if you wanted to do the same act you could
the fact that it reaches more people, so what
those "more people"
dont know you anyway
there seems to be this emotional attachment to "how many times a person is stabbed" ( for example)
if a person is attacked and stabbed once, TO THE COMMON SENSE
WHAT DOES IT MATTER (as far as sentencing would go at a trial) if the person lived or died or was stabbed once and dies or 20x and lived
NO "REWARD" B/C the person didnt die or you "Stabbed them less" than what is considered too much
if using porn B.I ( hereto and forever known as Before Internet ) to get revenge was wrong then its still wrong
or legal , as the case may be
you want to press charges?
go ahead
if found that you took the pictures or video etc willingly and didnt obtain said media
THATS ON you
"When we reach that point, there will be substantially less 'scandal' or taint associated with the unauthorized posting of nude/sexual depictions. After all, many other folks will have made similar depictions. The public dissemination of such depictions might still violate the privacy expectations of the depicted individuals, but it will not be seen as unusual." You expect our society to evolve to a point where people are okay with their family members see them posing nude in photos unwillingly? I think this utopian vision of the future is counter to generalized social norms and I doubt as a father I'd be okay with people posting pictures of my children nude even if they were adults. That's the problem, people can be okay with the idea of their nude body, but not the idea of their parents seeing their nude body all over the internet. Unless you predict a future where fathers willingly accept that once their daughters hit 18, nude pictures will blanket the internet, I don't see you making a valid argument here.
The author then writes "Still, for individuals who would prefer not to be a revenge porn victim or otherwise have intimate depictions of themselves publicly disclosed, the advice is simple: don't take nude photos or videos." I find this to be blaming the victim, once victimized by a site like Texxxan etc. you're telling a person that it's their own fault.
Frankly I find the ideas you are trying to put forth as intellectual rubbish, and I expect more from a Forbes article.
I tend to agree with Eric. If enough people wind up nude on the Internet, it's going to become like a German beach — where people aren't scandalized by seeing you topless.
Not any more quickly than being topless in Germany becomes common elsewhere.
So, by your thinking, child pornography, rape, homicide, bank robbery, shoplifting, etc will be acceptable in the future? Do this: print out my response and look at it in 2015. Not only will this be illegal under Federal Law, but every state will have similar laws, and the site owners as well as the posters will be registered sex offenders.
So if we are to expect our social norms to change in the future in such a way that former lovers exploiting the willingness of someone else to have volunerable pictures of them taken by plastering them all over the internet is normal, then should we also expect child pornography to be normalized in the same way?
If it shouldn't matter that there are sexual images of a person for all to see, then it shouldn't matter what their age is either, in fact the younger they are, the easier it should be for them to get used to this idea of having sexual images of themselves for all to see.
Rather, I think there should be the same type of outrage for this involuntary porn as there is for child pornography.
Involuntary porn should never become "normal"
My point is why can't child porn be as ubiquitious in this future you propose?
What is it that makes child porn so objectionable?
Is it the exploitation? The fact that the subjects are below the age of consent?
If those are the reasons, then child porn is really similar to involuntary porn, and should either be equally "normal" or equally objectional.
When someone sends a nude picture to someone, in most cases it is because they trust the reciepient and want to share their intimate parts with them. The problem is when that trust is betrayed; when they are exploited.
And just because they consented to have the image taken, doesn't mean they consented to have it disemenated across the web.
As you said "most private pornography is completely legal" and that's fine, but I think that is where you are missing the point. PRIVATE. "Private" does not mean to be shared across the whole internet, private has the implication that it will stay exactly that, private, just with the people it was indented for.
If I want an image of myself to be public (inapproprate or otherwise), I'll put it on facebook & share it with my friends, if I want an image to remain relatively private, I will send the image to the person I want to see it. And I will feel just as betrayed/upset if I were to find that image as the newest meme as I would if a nude picture of myself found itself online.
I tend to agree with Marc Randazza's rules of porn "Rule #1: The subjects must be adults Rule #2: The subjects must be consenting adults"
And that consenting is not just for the creation of the images, but the diseminating of them as well.

HOUSTON -- In a modest, but well-kept neighborhood just miles from the North Freeway there is shackled proof that you never know what's going on behind closed doors. Illegal immigrants were led from a home to an awaiting bus in the 900 block of Cherry Spring in northwest Harris County on Tuesday.
"Apparently they're coming in after we've all gone to bed at night," said neighbor Joe Gayton, "but there's a lot of activity at several houses around here."
Still, Gayton said there was nothing to indicate the alleged human smuggling ring that was revealed after a neighbor called in to report a suspicious vehicle.
"Twenty individuals from Guatemala to Honduras, to El Salvador and Mexico," said Greg Palmore with the Department of Homeland Security. "Three individuals have been arrested on drug charges due to the 15 pounds of meth and cocaine we found inside."
Palmore said the drugs have a street value of $1 million.
The suspected ring leaders face felony drug charges. The illegal immigrants have been transport to ICE detention for processing and medical evaluation.

A few weeks ago, I wrote about Andy Goldsworthy's new and controversial commission for the Albright-Knox Art Gallery. The winding path, which only becomes visible under the perfect confluence of atmospheric conditions, is surely the most temperamental and unpredictable piece of art in the gallery's collection. For the gallery's annual "Art Alive" competition, in which teams create tableaux of artworks from the gallery's collection, members of the Albright-Knox education department decided to produce a human version of Goldsworthy's "Path." Here's what they came up with:
The gallery, according to this post on its Tumblr page, is launching a new summerlong photo-sharing campaign based on Goldsworthy's work at the gallery and elsewhere. "We encourage you to walk the Path, create your own Rain Shadow, make something out of sticks or leaves, or get creative with nature in other ways," the gallery writes. "Please share the photos of your observations or creations on Instagram or Tumblr and include #akgoldsworthy and @albrightknox in your captions."

AP403 Wildlife Policy
Course Description
In the last few decades, there has been a revolution in how Americans view and value wildlife. The population shift from rural to urban environments has been accompanied by a shift from a predominantly utilitarian public perspective on wildlife to one that mixes utilitarian, ecological, humane, aesthetic, and sometimes harshly negative views of wildlife. This course examines the historical and cultural roots of current U.S. wildlife policy, and look at how controversies over wildlife policy are driven by conflicts in values among stakeholders and by differences in mandates and cultures among government agencies. 3 credits
Course Learning Outcomes
At the conclusion of the course, students will be able to:
- Describe the cultural, historical, and environmental roots of current issues in wildlife policy;
- Demonstrate knowledge of the statutory and historical basis of current state and federal agency policies and actions; and
- Trace the relationships between stakeholder groups and the government agencies that implement wildlife policies, as well as the conflicts and confluences of culture, history, and values that underlie stakeholder-agency relationships.
Course Topics

- Introduction to Wildlife Policy
- Hunting and Trapping: The Roots of U.S. Wildlife Policy

The original "double-bubble" racingscreen! Available in clear, smoke gray and gloss black.Overall length: 15 inches (380 mm).
In 1994, MRA introduced the first double bubble racing screen at the IMFA international motorcycle trade fair in Cologne, Germany. The latest generation of MRA RacingScreens includes a revolutionary dome design that is flattened at the top. Instead of creating lift, this new design pushes the front of the bike down onto the road a more desirable effect when racing! Bottom of screen is printed with a black raster conforming to the shape of the underlying fairing. Available in standard width or the narrower "Superbike" width, which accomodates widened or raised replacement handlebars.
This motorcycles original windscreen is attached with non-reusable fasteners or rivets. As the original hardware is not reusable, replacement attachment screws are included with MRA windscreens for this motorcycle.

Coming home from the beach on Interstate 40, I wondered if perhaps we had missed a turn and ended up on the Indianapolis Speedway.
We were doing the posted 70 mph with a bump-up to a siren-free 72 or 73 occasionally. Nevertheless, it seemed as if were almost sitting still.
The only people we passed were one or two farmers tooling along at 55 or 60, gazing out over the vast tableland of unplowed fields.
"And the legislature plans to raise the speed limit to 75 so the hot-rodders can do 85," I said to my wife.
We are indeed an impatient people. Yet after writing recently about a driver who blasted his horn because I didn't get out of his way at a Glenwood Avenue light change, a reader took me to task. She wrote that I, not the honker, was the problem.
"Perhaps I was the one who honked when the light changed and you did not respond," Hannah wrote.
"If so, it was not that I was impatient. It was to remind you that when you are behind the wheel of a car, I expect your focus to be on your driving and on the conditions around you.
"Perhaps you were engrossed in a meaningful conversation, enjoying beautiful music, or daydreaming about your grandchildren. But you weren't focused on what you agreed to focus on when you got behind the wheel."
Not guilty on all counts, Hannah. Let's not assume too much.
I was alone and alert to the light change because I, too, am Type A, and guilty of impatience.
I don't dilly-dally at traffic lights. Nor do I text or tweet on my cell. Rarely listen to the radio. And I don't just sit there contemplating my navel.
I allow drivers ahead of me five to 10 seconds to move before gently tapping my horn. If they are stargazing or texting or yakking, I may be less patient.
I do not assume, as some do, that if the driver ahead of me has a few streaks of gray hair, he or she is senile and shouldn't be on the highway anyway.
It may be that he or she has a better driving record than you or I.
I recall an anecdote related by my late and beloved mother-in-law.
She had pulled into the neighborhood service station to gas up. A young woman at the pump in front of her had just finishing filling her tank.
After going inside to pay her bill, she hurried back to her car, slid under the wheel and roared off, dragging parts of the gas tank behind her.
"If I had done that," Kitty Brown said, "the good old boys hanging out at the station would have guffawed their heads off and one would surely would have said, 'That little old lady has no business driving a car.' "
As far I know, there's no legal waiting time before honking at traffic lights.
Joyce Wolfe of Wilson, however, writes that she has read somewhere that scientists have now measured and named the smallest amount of time in existence. It's called the "honkasecond."
"A honkasecond is the amount of time between a stoplight turning green and the honking of a driver's horn from behind."
From time to time we've all seen the "Honk if you love Jesus" bumper stickers.
As I understand Jesus' personality, he considered patience an important virtue. So perhaps we can all practice patience, even at stoplights.
In other words, don't honk if you love Jesus when the car in front of you doesn't take off as fast as a jet leaving the flight deck of an aircraft carrier.
Widows and windows
Reader Max Adams responded to the item about the long-ago typographical error in The N&O that the late Gov. Luther Hodges suffered a hernia while lifting a "widow" at the Governor's Mansion.
"How do you know it was a typo?" he asked.
I know because Gov. Hodges was too busy founding the Research Triangle to be messing around with widows.

Rays of The Harmonist has published a special on-line magazine containing over 18 articles by our guruvarga in honour of the 100th disappearance anniversary of Saccidānanda Śrīla Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākura, whose unlimited compassion and unparalleled presentation of the philosophical conclusions of the Gauḍīya sampradāya have transformed the hearts of people all over the world.
Full Version
It is with a desire to propagate the sublime glories of the concluding transcendental pastimes of our most worshipful Srila Gurudeva, nitya-lila pravista om visnupada Sri Srimad Bhaktivedanta Narayana Gosvami Maharaja, that we humbly present Entering Nitya-lila, a special on-line edition of the Rays of The Harmonist (No.24) in honour of the New Braja (Badger) puspa-samadhi ceremony, 2011.
This special edition of Rays of The Harmonist includes:
The illness enacted by the maha-bhagavata is not to be equated with suffering due to the threefold worldly miseries. While manifesting the perfect ideal of vipralambhamaya-bhajana, or bhajana suffused with a mood of separation, the maha-bhagavata deceives those who are extremely antagonistic to Bhagavan and who are offenders. At the same time, they confer the opportunity to serve upon those who are sevonmukha (inclined to render service). They demonstrate the living ideal of following the instruction to serve Sri Hari with intense endeavour and enthusiasm, even amidst worldly tribulations.
During this period of ill health, Srila Gurudeva remained absorbed in deep transcendental moods. Sometimes he would utter indistinct words, and other times he would chant his ahnika or stava-stutis (devotional prayers) for hours on end. Only upon his servants' repeated efforts to offer him food or medicine would he slowly return to external consciousness, sometimes fully and sometimes only partially. Thus Srila Gurudeva would constantly remain in an internal state (antara-dasa).
We sincerely pray that these articles enhance our conception of the maha-bhagavata Srila Gurudeva's wondrous pastimes, and that they stimulate loving feelings of separation from him, thus nourishing our inner connection with him.

Do you find yourself telling the same stories over and over? Are you looking for a way to organize your life experiences into a cohesive story? Do you have a story to tell but don't know where to start?
This two-part workshop offers a practical approach to help writers identify the major turning points in their lives and shape them into a fully realized story. Using Joseph Campbell's "The Hero's Journey" as a guide, the class will give students a structure for their story, a voice and perspective to tell it, and writing prompts to jumpstart the writing process. The workshop is a combination of lecture, discussion and in-class writing. We also will have an opportunity to share our stories—or pieces of our stories— with the class.

---- — Dr. Barbara McIntyre is teaching a master of counseling course titled "The Psychology of Death and Dying" for Spring Arbor University fall semester. She used the text "The Last Dance; encountering death and dying" by DeSpelder and Strickland, in which McIntyre's work with grieving youth is quoted.
McIntyre is a consultant to hospice programs around the world including St. Christopher's Hospice in Sydenham, England. She is a part-time faculty member for Spring Arbor and Wayne State University. Her private practice will open in January 2013 and will provide services to the community for loss, grief, trauma and illness. For details, call McIntyre, 360-5594.
Mary Raymer has been invited to be a key speaker at the International Grief and Bereavement Conference in Hong Kong in 2013. She will address psychosocial issues, treatment techniques and current research in bereavement.
Raymer is a therapist practicing in the Traverse City area. She specializes in complicated grief and trauma.
In September, Brandy Wheeler, creator of the Traverse Traveler app, purchased 13 iPads with proceeds from the first annual Traverse Traveler Scavenger Hunt for Autism. The iPads have been donated to Traverse City Area Public Schools for students with Autism Spectrum Disorders.
The scavenger hunt drew 337 participants and generated donations from sponsors, team registrations and private donors totaling more than $14,700 for the iPads for Autism Program. More than $9,000 was donated directly to TCAPS through the Partner in Education program. Over the summer, TCAPS added six iPads and purchased app packages designed to meet the specific needs of students with autism. The iPads purchased will help grow a lending library to expedite student assessment, trial different applications and assign devices more quickly.

John "Charles" Greene grew up in Fort Gibson, but in a much different time.
Schools were segregated and he attended and graduated from Lincoln High School in 1956.
Instead of growing up bitter about his experiences, he credits his mother for instilling in him a sense of self-worth.
"My mother taught me to always think I was the best," Greene said. "She said if I didn't think I was worth anything, who else would?"
Greene carried that attitude with him as he went to college, became a teacher, then a coach, and eventually making a career out of officiating, particularly for the Big 8 Conference in the NCAA, he said.

We had our wedding at Camelot on 5/4/2014. It was the most perfect of days thanks to all of the staff! We had 62 people total. We had our ceremony there in the beautifully decorated side room and continued to the reception in the main dining/bar area. The food was delicious, and so many of our guests commented that it was the best food they have ever had at a wedding. Kathy was the manager of the event, and she made everything go without a glitch. We also booked a suite on 2nd floor and it was so spacious and tastefully decorated. We loved the jacuzzi. We still can't believe how perfect everything went. It was the happiest day of our lives...Thanks Camelot!

I stayed for a total of four days and found my trip very relaxing! The room was very pretty. The restaurant was often very busy at night but I must say I enjoyed my meal! The bar was a great place. Drinks were cheap and staff was very friendly. However, because of how busy it was you couldn't always find a seat. The only draw back was there wasn't really much to do in the area. All in all I had a great time.

Family came across the country and we all met at the Camelot. The food was good, the restaurant was roomy, the rooms were clean and the beds comfortable. The breakfast room allowed us cousins to gather there and talk until lunch time. I'd plan a trip here again.

We stayed overnight on June 29, 2012 and other family members had a room as well. Our room was very nice, quiet, nicely air-conditioned. We were greeted by the assistant manager who went out of his way to welcome us and explain details about the inn. Cocktails on the patio were excellent and the dinner was exceptional and well-presented. The only complaint we have is the "continental" breakfast in the morning. It consisted of a pot of coffee, warm cans of juice with no ice and a bag of supermarket donuts. Overall, it was a very pleasant stay.

My wife and I spent a wonderful, relaxing evening in this lovely country inn. The suite was spacious, tastefully decorated and very clean. The staff was more than helpful, courteous and welcoming. The dining experience was outstanding. We also loved the freshly baked scones and tea before leaving the next morning. We would highly recommend this place for a weekend getaway any time of the year and cannot wait to return in the fall to enjoy the foliage and cozy fireplaces. Camelot is truly a gem!
2.8 on April 06, 2012
We arrived at the Camelot Restaurant and Inn around 6 p.m. on Saturday, when the dinner/drinks crowd were also arriving at the on-site restaurant. A congenial assistant manager seemed to be surprised that there were overnight guests at the b & b part of the enterprise; he apparently found some record of the reservation, but first showed us to a room that we had not reserved (and paid for in advance) and finally he settled us in the right room and helped to bring the luggage up the stairs. The room was clean and functional. We had dinner in the bar, (the kitchen accommodates both the restaurant and bar) and the meal preparation and service were above average. What a surprise it was to wake on Sunday morning, preparing for a long drive ahead, and to discover that we were the only people in the place, all doors were locked, and to leave we had to unlock doors and leave the premises unsecured. There was no breakfast, no coffee or juice, and no one to tell us that there would be no breakfast! Would we book here again for b & b? -- no. Would we book for dinner? - possibly if we were in the neighbourhood, but that is not likely since it is off the beaten track for travellers.
Innkeeper Response
Camelot Restaurant and Inn would like to thank the guests who stayed with us on April 7, 2012 for posting their thoughts on BedandBreakfast.com. We are always looking for ways to improve our guests' experience here and we appreciate the response. We also would like the opportunity to clarify a few issues as well. Our website, www.camelotrestaurantandinn.com, as well as the listing on bedandbreakfast.com, indicates that we offer a daily complimentary coffee, tea and juice station with freshly baked danish or scones. It also indicates that a hot breakfast brunch menu may be enjoyed on Saturdays and Sundays only from 11:00-2:30pm. Our management staff routinely welcomes each guest upon arrival with an explanation of our breakfast options and eating area, the hours of operation of our dining room, drop key information as well as the location of any pertinent phone numbers they may need. We work hard to provide a comfortable and relaxing lodging and dining experience here at Camelot. We apologize for any misunderstanding that may have occurred upon check in causing our guests' stay to be less than they expected. We are confident our beautiful accommodations, outstanding food and conscientious staff will continue to provide future guests of Camelot with an enjoyable stay they will want to return to again and again.

TALLADEGA, Ala. — Sprint Cup driver Denny Hamlin says his Sunday will be just like a quarterback taking a single snap, then taking a knee: Quick, clean and doctor-approved.
But the more he talked about driving for the first time since suffering a fractured vertebra in a March 24 crash at Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, Calif., the less it sounded like a sure-thing he'd park at the first caution of Sunday's Aaron's 499.
Hamlin said he's medically cleared to drive as many laps as he wishes. He claims he felt no pain driving practice laps Friday at Talladega Superspeedway. The only difficulty is getting in and out of the car without twisting through the driver's-side window.
So when pressed in a media appearance Friday, Hamlin never flat-out promised how soon, or even if, he'd give the steering wheel over to Brian Vickers.
"If I don't get unbundled, I don't get unbundled," said Hamlin, trying to stay in contention to compete in the Chase, NASCAR's Cup title run. "(But) you're not going to win one of these races without being aggressive. And I don't want to be aggressive right now."
A broken back is nothing to mess with, but a consensus of doctors treating Hamlin signed off on his return to racing this week. Those same doctors had him skip Richmond the previous week.
Hamlin acknowledged that in the 1970s or '80s, when NASCAR was all about daredevils, he might have driven in Martinsville the week after his injury. He says driving with this back injury is far less symptomatic than when he drove with a torn anterior cruciate ligament suffered in a pickup basketball game in January of 2010.
But that doesn't detract from the fact that a broken back is much more dangerous to long-term health than a torn knee ligament. Hamlin acknowledged as much Friday.
"There is risk. Nobody knows. … A bone takes a year to heal," said Hamlin. "But it would take such a significant hit (to aggravate the back fracture) that you'd probably be injured anyway.
"The risk is so minimal, it's about not there."
NASCAR's scoring system obliges Hamlin to drive at least one lap per race as soon as he's able. If he's in the car at the race's start, then results from a substitute driver count for him toward the championship.
The urgency is obvious. His team has 17 races to make up enough points to get into the Chase. As Hamlin put it, "Our Chase starts now."
The pressure to drive is self-inflicted. Team owner Joe Gibbs told Hamlin he's not concerned about this season, but rather for a healthy driver. Hamlin is rehabbing daily, strengthening his core and his hamstrings – since those support back function – and he is attached to a bone-stimulation device he describes as a "voodoo machine."
Hamlin's injury opens a question all sports face: When is an athlete just hurt – in pain, but effective – versus being injured in a debilitating way?
Veteran driver Jeff Gordon said that's a decision unique to each driver's circumstance. Young guys in danger of losing their rides might risk anything to stay in the car. Older, financially secure drivers with families – Gordon being one – would think twice in situations like Hamlin's.
"An injury like what Denny went through, I don't know – I might not come back from that, just because, is it worth it?" Gordon said Friday.
Hamlin recently became a father, but he doesn't sound reluctant about getting back into a race car, even if it requires popping off the roof to avoid twisting his spine.
"I'm not scared," Hamlin implored. "I'm not fearful."

Last month, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie unveiled his $29.3 billion FY2011 budget proposal [1] -- an extremely regressive plan that would only exacerbate the economic pain for the state's working and middle class families. The Governor's budget relies on severe reductions to municipal and county aid, discontinuing property tax rebates, completely eliminating funding for grants to support clinical family planning services, cutting aid to school districts, letting an income tax surcharge on high-end earners expire, closing psychiatric hospitals, proposing a constitutional amendment to lower the property tax cap to 2.5 percent that may be placed on the November ballot, and reducing the state workforce by over 1,300 workers [2]. As state Sen. Stephen Sweeney concisely stated [3], "The wealthy people in New Jersey got a tax cut. The middle class and the poor are going to get a tax increase. It's that simple."
Push to Privatize: One of the more troubling aspects of the budget is the broad effort to privatize state services. In early April, Gov. Christie established a privatization panel by Executive Order [4], seeking to identify $50 million in savings. The state's troubled history with privatization is well-documented. In a recent hearing on the issue, the Executive Director of the state's Commission of Investigation, Alan Rockof, cited [5] the Motor Vehicles Commission distributing contracts to politically connected vendors in the 1980s, millions of dollars wasted on contractors for vehicle inspections, and the imprudent implementation of the E-Z Pass toll system that was fraught with high cost and delays due to private contractors. He commented, "[i]f one common theme runs through all these disturbing case studies, it's this: waste and abuse of the public treasury and public property can flourish if no one is minding the store on the public's behalf."
It is quite telling that the Governor's push coincides with the release of a report revealing the dangers of privatization. SEIU Local 32BJ commissioned the Clarion Group to analyze contracts and financial data of 10 school districts that outsource their food services to two companies, Chartwells and Sodexo. In the report, Hard to Swallow: Do Private Food Service Contractors Shortchange New Jersey Schools? [6], the group found that the corporations overcharged the 10 districts by $320,000 and "if the approximately 378 New Jersey school districts using FSMCs (food service management companies) are also being overcharged at the same rate, the total amount of taxpayer money being misappropriated would come to $12 million, or enough to pay the annual salaries of 186 New Jersey teachers."
These alarming numbers mirror the general pitfalls of privatization. As PSN has noted [7] previously, the policy often leads to the the loss of public control, lack of oversight and transparency, inability to establish standards, policy driven by profit rather than actual public need, endangerment of vulnerable populations, increased costs, eventual loss of public revenue, and inferior and unreliable service provision. Dealing with the aftermath of the greatest economic downturn since the Great Depression, states can ill-afford to pursue costly, inefficient, and potentially damaging privatization schemes.
