The Guardian, the Examiner, and the Weekly
As you can all imagine, I'm getting calls and emails, so let me clear it up: Yes, San Francisco Newspaper Co. has bought SF Weekly.
Yes, Todd Vogt is the co-owner of the Examiner, Guardian and now Weekly, but for the record, I am the editor and publisher of the Guardian.
No, there are no plans to merge the two weeklies or consolidate them or combine the editorial staffs. We will continue to do our best to be the progressive voice of San Francisco; the Weekly, I assume, will continue to do its own different thing.
And no, this doesn't mean that I'm going to suddenly be BFFs with Joe Eskenazi. We have our view of things; he has his. I fervently believe that we will continue to disagree, and the city will be served by the ongoing debate. (Unless Joe comes to his senses and realizes that I'm always right.)
But "Zero Dark Forty" is at bottom a "political" movie.
Am I serious? Yes.
Morose? Not usually.
Self-absorbed? Don't think so, but I am answering this post, so maybe. In the US, we are socialized to be self-absorbed. I'm less so than average.
Sense of humor? Very strong.
I love movies and discussing them. I slightly regret sharing my thoughts on this one.
No bounds can be placed on fiction or fantasy, it is all speech, literature, not actions.
As is usual on the oversocialized left, speaking of or commenting on something evil and real is more dangerous than doing the real evil deeds themselves.
Before the Nazis started rounding up Jews, gays, Socialists and Gypsies, they just "talked about it" a bunch.
*All* things are political. (That may not be absolutely true but it is close enough to not bother much thinking otherwise.)
I was having a discussion about machinery designed-life and worker productivity and happened to mention German workers making $60/hr -- and the fellow interrupted with a retort about "the unions."
See? Everything is viewed through a political glass but populists aren't supposed to notice or give voice to their side. The trolls exhibit this same propagandistic method.
I'd only go to nakedly political propaganda movie with an intent to focus very hard indeed to spot whatever clandestine and multi-layered lies they were trying to sell me; the exact same way I read posts by "anonymous."
by your argument, we should be very wary of anyone advocating gun control.
Hitler banned some people from owning guns.
No everyone. It was a general law. Only government officials could have guns.
so strange, everyone seems to believe this for some political reason that I can't fathom.
Not that it matters, Germany was awash in guns under Adolph, most Freikorps members had them right from the start, there were hunting and shooting clubs, the Hitler youth spent hours monkeying around with guns and were encouraged to shoot all they could.
It was the Weimar republic in 1928 which enacted anti gun laws attempting to put a damper on street battles. The Nazi's loosened them and ignored them until 1938 with the weapons law that banned Jews, gypsies and the rest from owning guns.
The truth for both sides is bit off, neither the communists or the fascists turned in their vast number of weapons when the more liberal Weimar republic asked for the guns. Just as our thugs will not now.
Southern rightests had their own race laws around guns at various times, and even had their own militias to enforce them.
Why this has so much traction is odd.
Sorry for my consistent error.
You left out "self-righteous".
When even John McCain lashed out that it was too pro-torture, I figured that it was going to be shameless propaganda.
I did see "Hurt Locker" on DVD, and I have to say I was thoroughly unimpressed. They managed to make a movie about the greatest moral failing of our time in a way that was completely devoid of morality. You really have to try hard to accomplish that. In the end, it was a movie about nothing. It made me feel empty inside -not even angry at the filmmakers -just empty. I wanted my two hours back.
So when I heard that the same director did this one, I added that to the list of reasons not to see this movie.
Of course, the writer had been embedded with the military so he would bring some (maybe unconscious) bias to the project. But the main characters were complex. And I saw it in the theatre which almost always improves my opinion of a film.
I never discourage anyone from seeing a film. I only shared my opinion of "Zero Dark Forty" because someone else raised it as a topic.
What does that mean, that they played the special forces people as being having feelings of an almost human nature?
I also puzzled as to what truth died?
There are $6.50 matinees at the Century San Francisco Centre 9.
$6.00 matinees at AMC Van Ness.
Don't have a lot of interest in it either way.
rah rah who gives a shit?
Propaganda films need to be like 49th parallel, Sahara, Casablanca or involve Ray Miland somehow.
It was Wednesday night at Joe's bar room, and the usual crowd was there. Buncha jibber-jabber on this site leaves me cold and I learned nothing from it, I don't even know why I'm bothering to comment here but I'll say this: Vogt has reinvigorated what was a putrid far right Examiner and also preserved the SFBG that many of us look to for its take on local news of importance as well as informed opinion. Now he's also rescued the Weekly from oblivion and what's bad about that? Say what you want about the Black conglomerate, about Bruce selling out his principles and blah blah blah. The result of these deals is preservation and reinvigoration of print journalism in SF, and it's all online as well. Would you have the field left to the Hearst Chronicle, with all its biases and baggage?
I think Todd Vogt is a hero and a public servant for his work in the Fourth Estate. I know him personally and I don't think he or the group he is part of is in it for the money or power or any devious motivation. The tired cynicism and in-group gossip of some commenters here is not amusing. It's appalling.
counts for nothing, since we don't know you personally.
The coverage of your paper has already been suffering.
For example, you call Wiener a "moderate" and Campos a "conservative."
They are rightwing conservative and corporate conservative respectively!
He could only appear right-wing to someone who is very left-wing. As such, your comments tell us more about your bias than Wiener's.
Makes me wonder how you'd label, say, Jim DeMint. Not everyone to the right of Chomsky is "right-wing," you know.
ideology is predicated on identity polics and class warfare, then it's important to be able to classify people so you can self-servingly allocate them either to the "us" camp or the "them" camp.
Such a dismissive approach does not allow of subtlety or nuance. But rather you're "either wit' us or agin' us".
To call Weiner "right-wing" makes as little sense, apparently, as calling Chomsky "left-wing." I'm beginning to wonder if those terms have any meaning, especially when applied in San Francisco.
Though Chomsky's philosophy of personal freedom naturally abhors the power of the state being wielded to control people -- which means he is *not* right-wing -- I don't think you should look to him as the "far left."
That designation should be reserved for those more worthy to provoke the *greatest* fear amongst the monied and powerful; those whose Bolshevist plans would be more likely to involve massive blood letting.
An attempt to realize Chomsky's Anarcho-Syndicalism would doubtless *not* involve bloodshed.
Anybody who is interested in learning about a range of things such as a rationalist philosophy leading to world peace and individual happiness ought to read some of Noam Chomsky books and don't let some reactionary trolls' portrayal affect their view of the man.
He is one of the great intellectuals of our time.... unlike *all* of the trolls here
Chomsky is a libertarian socialist, that is not a leftist.
but I've not seen him refer to himself as a "libertarian socialist."
His term is Anarcho-Syndicalist just as I said, though to be sure he would disparage the putting of emphasis on labels.
illi, your brain can be so small sometimes. appeal to the google for ample evidence of Chomsky's libertarian socialist tendencies.
I'll just go with that.
I'll just go with that
so it does have a degree of credibility, but that is all.
Even I know he is a libertarian socialist.
look up libertarian socialism on wikipedia and there is a picture of Chomsky.
I find Chomsky a bit much so haven't read any of his stuff in decades, even though I loath the US's foreign policy.
but it won't work if people don't listen to you.
We've moved on.
Point being there are two broad schools of socialism, authoritarian and libertarian. The contemporary divide is exemplified by the division between the communists and the anarchists. Socialism in this context means an economic system that is centered on people rather than capital, not Marxism/Leninism/Trotskyism/Maoism.
Chomsky is in the anarchist or libertarian socialist school.
their protagonists seek to develop yet another subtley different and ultimately futile alternative. And that never works either.
philosphy. It's amazing that someone who tries to pass himself off as authoritative about politics can be so ignorant of basics.
Whatever they have to do or say to preserve rule of the elites, they'll do and say.
When they do that here, the editors allow them to pollute our discourse with their sabotage.
what is she? just a plain old Libertarian?
Is libertarian socialism considered right-wing now? I must've missed a memo, or we have different definitions of "left-wing."
how the "left wing" vs. "right wing" divide breaks down more and more the further you move away from talking about the seating of a bi-cameral legislative body, but I do agree that the statement that "Chomsky is not left wing" is questionable. My point was that he is not the most left wing.
I'm also not sure if that's the real marcos, but it may well be. I have gotten a sense that on occasion marcos may sense contradiction with those whom he should seem to naturally expect to find accord; but maybe its just me.
Even I, who haven't made a deep study, know that Chomsky isn't the most left-wing; I picked him as a spur-of-the-moment name that I thought everyone would know. My point about folks who would conflate Weiner with someone like Jim DeMint was sadly lost in the resulting debate.
He's a Marxist-Leninist who favors high taxes, gun control, state control of medicine and always votes a New Deal Demo ticket, the exact opposite of libertarianism. Socialist libertarianism is an oxymoron and Chomsky's still denying Pol Pot's genocide of three million people, half of Cambodia, in three years.
He's only a legend in his mind and to his decreasing number of Cult followers.
You said it sister!
I never trust a guy who lives only in his head.
There are intellectuals all across the spectrum, the left just tries to claim as loud as possible that reality has a liberal bent or some such thing.
I prefer Spiro Agnew's comment on the subject "an effete corps of impudent snobs who characterize themselves as intellectuals." Intellectuals are often self defined or by their acolytes. Chomsky and Ayn Rand are both "intellectuals," while being batty and worshiped by acolytes.
You should read Paul Johnson's hilarious book "Intellectuals." A true feat of mish mashed far right crazy on the subject of intellectuals.
and will blithely tell all manner of lies trying to discredit him.
I'd ask for a citation that Chomsky denied Pol Pot's crimes, except I *know* that is a goddamned lie.
Chomsky *has* pointed out that the crimes of the U.S.'s puppet in Indonesia committed comparable crimes practically without mention in the New York Times and other mainstream media outlets.
Oh, wait, what was I thinking?
The crimes of Suharto were in no way comparable to the mass genocide practiced by the Khmer Rouge. You and your hero, the linguist-turned-political-critic Chomsky, are simply engaged in your favorite pastime - relativism.
to either listen to know-nothing anti-social troll Lucretia Snapples AKA Troll II AKA ??? or they could, like, read Edward Herman and Noam Chomsky's seminal work Manufacturing Consent to learn the particulars alluded to here.
Manufacturing something or another, he made a good case that there was good and bad victims.
But in the end the vast majority of his stuff is just finding some way to blame the USA for shit that people would have done anyways. The Ayatolla, Pol Pot, Suharto, etc... would have killed with or without the USA.
It always trips me out that people who think Castro and Che are OK get all worked up.
It makes me think of Karl Popper's observation that with some people there is no wrong answer, you just need to know how to read the tea leaves and do the correct intellectual incantations.
Every situation has its own particulars, but in the case of Indonesia and East Timor, the genocide took place with American armaments and other assistance.

NYCC09: Friday's First Impressions
My Experience at the New York Comic Con 2009 on Friday
Just getting into the show proved to be one of the biggest challenges of the day. Despite passes being offered in advance as early as Wednesday, it seemed most waited until today and probably with good reason: the Jacob K. Javits Center is just too far out of the way for a casual visit (by mass transit, it requires a substantial ride by subway followed by a micro-substantial bus transfer – at least for me anyway). I arrived to an incredibly long and intimidating line (here I'm thinking Space Mountain, maybe even post-refurb). When I thought I was being offered some reprieve by security who started sending folks upstairs, starting with me, it turned out I was being sent to another full line. All in all it took probably about an hour to get my credentials, but I must say this show has grown a lot in terms of size and maturity and they handled it all very well. Continue reading…

A Conversation with Elizabeth D. Samet, author of Soldier's Heart
Is it possible to be a good writer without being a good reader?
I don't believe so. Many good writers start out as good readers; others I know have had to work hard to become better readers. At some stage in almost every writer's quest to improve reading becomes a central pursuit.
Have you ever belonged to a reading group?
I have never belonged to a reading group per se, but for as long as I can remember I have been involved in more or less formal communities of readers--at home and at school. At first it was my mother, who constantly read books with and to me. Now my reading community consists largely of students and former students, whose insights enrich my perspective on new and familiar books.
What book(s) are you reading now or planning to read?
I usually have several books going at once. Just now the list includes The Letters of Noël Coward, edited by Barry Day; Félix Fénéon's Novels in Three Lines; Jonathan Spence's new history, Return to Dragon Mountain: Memories of a Late Ming Man; and, yet again, Charles Dickens's Great Expectations.

Pizza for Breakfast!
A number of places that serve pizza for lunch/dinner also offer it for breakfast and brunch, usually with an egg or two on top. Here's a couple in the East Bay:
Nizza la Bella has two egg pizzas, the Cyclops (with potato and sausage, no tomato sauce) and the Bonjour Bella (a basic cheese pie with egg). I like the Bonjour Bella, personally. These are just the right size for one person, and only around $8.50.
Zut! in the Fourth Street complex usually has a pie with spicy sausage, fresh mozzarella, two eggs and a sprinkling of arugula. It's $15, but can easily serve two (I bring half home for dinner).
I've seen egg-topped pizza at PIQ in downtown Berkeley but haven't tried it.
Rotten City experimented with an egg pizza on weekends, but they haven't mentioned it on Facebook in quite a while.
The cafe at Olivetto has an egg pizza. I've wanted to try it, but for a long time breakfast hours ended at 11:00. I see from their website that the brunch menu continues into the afternoon now. $16.
And, two others in passing: the Prosciutto pizza at Paisan would be incredible with a couple of eggs on it. When I mentioned it to a waitress, she said people asked for it all the time, but the restaurant doesn't seem to be interested. And the "carbonara" pizza at Bucci would make a great breakfast, but they're not open then.
Over in the City, I see that Zero Zero has a brunch pizza, haven't tried it.
What are your favorites?
Boot and Shoe Service in Oakland has an egg topping option.
I've been loathe to try egg on pizza since an egg ruined an otherwise amazing 4505 burger, but perhaps I should reconsider. The first I saw egg on pizza was at PiQ, but I've also seen it during the evenings at Ragazza and its on Chez Panisse's current cafe menu.
Despite it not being on their website, I'm certain Pizza Politana offers a breakfast egg pizza. They're the pizza makers at various East & North Bay and the Tu/Thurs SF Ferry Building morning farmers markets.
Does pizza have to have an egg on it to be considered okay for breakfast? I eat bread, cheese, and tomatoes before noon all the time.
Pizzetta 211 has been serving pizza with farm eggs for 10+ years. Piccino, started by a former co-owner of Pizzetta, lets you add an egg to any of their pizzas. But not sure you need to.
There are a few places serving tarte flambee (Alsatian flatbread). The version at Noeteca with cheese, caramelized onions, and ham is quite good and available whenever they're open (9 on weekdays, 11 on weekends).
On the anti-egg side, we had the special egg/ham pizza on a Saturday night at Una Pizza Napoletana, and it was expensive, and the egg was baked in. Not what we expected, or especially good. Give me a leftover Napolitana or Margarita from Pizzeria Delfina for breakfast any day (and half the price).
re: Windy
IMO, any variety of pizza is appropriate for breakfast, egg or no. There's nothing like leftover slices from the night before. Nizza has one called Mi Favorite, with sausage and chevre (not on the online menu, for some reason), that is perfect for breakfast.
Even without the egg, the Prosciutto pie at Paisan makes a great brunch dish.
Gather in Berkeley has a selection of pizzas on their brunch menu.
Mozzeria in SF takes it one step further with their "benedict pizzas" which have both poached egg and hollandaise sauce.

re: Frosty Melon
I had this on my first visit and I was very impressed by the crust. Very impressed.
I have mixed feelings about hollandaise in general, so maybe someone else can comment as to whether they feel this combination is successful. Personally I'm more interested in returning to explore their 'normal' menu.
sfeater is reporting that the new Gioia pizzeria in San Francisco now has weekend brunch with pizzas.

Since 2003, the Camp and Resource Fair has been an information vehicle servicing families seeking programs that accept children with special needs in both self-contained and inclusive environments. Participants will include camps, therapist, tutors and more!
Over 140 organizations from across Michigan (and a few others just outside Michigan) have been invited. We expect over 50 organizations and over 125 families to attend. Each organization attending the Fair will have a display table manned by a representative with whom you will able to speak. Additionally, most organizations bring along various printed information and video. Friends of Different Learners is excited to offer this service to parents each year. Learning about qualified and appropriate programs can be challenging and frustrating. This event has grown into a valuable resource for families of children with special needs.
New this year! A selection of Micro Businesses developed through The Macomb-Oakland Regional Center Inc. (MORC) will have products available for purchase.
For any other information about the Camp and Resource Fair or for information about Friends of Different Learners please contact one of our Camp and Resource Fair committee members.

Last week, National
Public Radio interviewed
several of those experts of
the variety who like to
think about the ways economic
trends effect the way
people live and vice versa.
Reporter Robert Siegel interviewed people like urbanist Richard Florida and historian David Kennedy and author William Greider about how they thought the current recession will change lifestyles in the future.
Florida, who is the author of several books on the ``Creative Class,'' including ``Rise of the Creative Class'' and ``Flight of the Creative Class,'' also addressed the post-recession future in a piece in The Atlantic magazine.
He points to the late 1800s when America's economic, cultural and literal landscape was dotted by small mercantile towns pieced together by a patchwork of productive farmland.
That was at the beginning of the Long Depression, which began in the 1870s and ended near the turn of the 20th century, when the America landscape was less about small mill towns, and more about industrial powerhouses like Cleveland, Detroit, Buffalo and Pittsburgh.
He also describes the way the Great Depression of the 1930s put into motion the rise of suburbs.
On NPR, he repeated his theory that home ownership will no longer figure to heavily into the American dream. At the same time, the rental experience will change substantially for the better.
My favorite theory came from Greider, the author of ``Come Home America.'' He told NPR that, after the recession, people will ``drive smaller cars and live larger lives.''
How lovely. How simply optimistic. And how mottoworthy. Driving a smaller car can mean literally driving a smaller, more fuel-efficient car, of course. But it can also be a metaphor for reining in all types of excessive and even destructive consumption and consumerism, especially when you pair it with the goal of living a larger life.
For as long as I can remember, the idea of a larger life was about reaching for something (literally some thing) bigger and better. Bigger house, bigger car, zippier car, even bigger house, new furniture, newer furniture. Living life to its fullest could be quantified by how much you spent, even if you had to dip way, way, way into the plastic to do it.
This ``new normal'' probably won't look like that. Harvard economist Kenneth Rogoff told NPR that the current crisis is not unlike an economic heart attack.
It's not a bad analogy, I suppose, except that most of us committed sins akin to eating the odd French fry or spending a little too much time in front of the tube. The real cause was the years and years of cocaine- crack-and-Red-Bullfueled cash feeding frenzy called credit default swaps, toxic assets and mortgagebacked securities. In this analogy, I guess the world is a conjoined twin, one of whom eats a little too much fast food, while the other one parties like Lindsay Lohan.
No matter. We've had our wake-up call, and we get to decide what the new normal looks like. Are we going to party to the bitter end? Are we going to snap like a rubber band in the opposite direction and become a nation of ascetics?
Or are we going to be like the person whose heart attack sends us to yoga class, teaches us to reevaluate where we spend both our money and our time, and turns out to be the best thing that ever happened? For all our sakes, I hope we're the latter.
I hope we all find smaller cars and larger lives.

This toaster is very low quality. The slots are not deep enough for the bread to all fit in, so the top inch or more does not toast.
After trying many different toasters over the years this one is by far the easiest to use.
super product and excellent size for our camper. Wide slots provide easy toasting for bagels, etc.
I was worried at first,but my family really like it and it looks good.
One of the setting buttons is damaged. only used one time.
We love the style of this toaster, and it is super easy to use.
This one is by far the easiest to use. Light weight that toasts evenly and looks good on the counter.It has Wide slots that provide easy toasting for bread,bagels, etc. It gives so much convenience since the pull out bottom tray removes crumbs much easier than the old fashion toaster where you open a flap.
i like because is modern and small do not take a lot 's of place
It's not the best toaster, but it functional and for the price I guess its acceptable. The best part is the pull out bottom tray to remove crumbs much easier then the old fashion toaster where you open a flap.

Buffalo News City Hall reporter Jill Terreri notes that Joe's Deli, one of the best sandwich shops in the city, is opening a second location on Elmwood Ave.:
"Lyons and his wife, Rachael Rossitto, own the business and are purchasing 534 Elmwood Ave. They plan to maintain the outdoor patio, offer indoor seating and takeout food, and be open by May, Lyons said.
Lyons also is seeking a liquor license and plans to be open seven days a week."

Bath Salts
So lets talk about bath salts for a bit since we are starting to find them in my sleepy little city. I have talked about the different types of effects these designer type drugs are causing with a ER doctor that also subs as a swat officer with a larger PD in my area. He told me outside of making you want to chew a naked mans face off for the hell of it they are great .well actually he said that based on their findings they are possibly the most dangerous narcotic to hit our streets in American in a long time.
He also went on to state that the chemicals used to manufacture the drug are going to be increasingly hard to regulate and that the drugs are extremely addictive (meth/heroin addictive). Some of effects that will be present are increased body temp/hallucinations/numbed pain receptors (LSD), euphoria and warming sensation as it passes into the bloodstream (heroin), and extreme blood pressure and heart rate spikes, adrenal gland dumps (meth). Some of you in more populated areas are dealing with this more than me and I would love some insight on what you are seeing. This particular doctor explained that based on the effects of these drugs he predicts violent encounters between users and law enforcement are going to skyrocket over the new few years and I might tend to agree with him.

It seems with us we are smaller municipality next to a rather large one and the people trying to avoid the saturation of the larger departments are trying to move their distribution and using of said narcotics to smaller towns with less police presence. The products we are working against are not illegal yet and are still sold at gas stations and other fine business establishments. All of what I have found test a strong positive for meth with our kits but do not at the lab level. What are seeing is no pain compliance at all with any tool we have at our disposal.
The larger city we are close to has stated that nothing works, and from recent news and OIS's I have had a chance to read reports on not only are batons, pepper and physical compliance NOT working at all but nether are bullets unless they hit spine or brain. I guess tasers have worked alright as long as they are able to circuit a large enough muscle group to get them into restraints but at that point EMT's are having to drug the people with a very powerful tranquilizer or the suspects will fight against the restrains so hard they tear skin and break bones. Here is to hoping we get some law in place to stop the rapid distribution.STOP RESISTING!!!!

Ohio enacted law on Bath Salts (MDPV and all variations) last fall. We've seen businesses begin to carry it again because the formula changed according to those supplying it to retail. Fortunately, Ohio's law, and in my case our city was pretty proactive in taking measures to ensure that even with a formula change, it's covered within the same section. Our city enacted an emergency ordinance last summer against sale and possession to cover us until the State's law was in effect.
I've noticed a lot of the same behavior and problems you guys have mentioned above. One of the big things that stand out in my experience with it, is that the dellusions are a lot more realistic. The ones seen here have been plausible, but unlikely. For example, one user was convinced that he was hearing his entire family (including mother, grandmother, and grandfather) having sex with his girlfriend. Another (that I nearly shot during the apprehension) was convinced that a former military colleague had become an assasin, and his associate who was a woman from Germany had broken into his home and knocked him unconcious. As he came to, he saw her running out of the door and taking up a "surveillance post" in a car in a tow yard. He obtained a sledge hammer and began smashing the windshield out of the car. When a tow truck driver pulled in with another car, he dropped the sledge hammer, took the flashlight from the truck driver, brandished a large hunting knife and began his "quest" to find and kill the woman. When I located him, he was muttering about me being an accomplice, and was refusing commands to drop the knife. They are convinced that what they see and hear are real, and while the incidents they report are far fetched, most of them could actually happen. It's not just the pink elephants and zombies. I've been fairly successful explaining that I believe they see and hear what they report, but I just didn't see them. It's helped calm a bit, and set the hooks to further "help" them.
Users have ranged in age from teens and young adults, to people in their fifties like the guy with the knife above."Like" us on facebook! https://www.facebook.com/pages/Offic...93147194083228

We are seeing bath salts incidents increasing here big time. It seems we are seeing even more incidents since our state made a law against them. I haven't heard what our local narcotics unit is doing, if anything, about them yet. Basically the gas stations are still selling the bath salts, but just doing it secretly. They don't care, they are just wanting to make money. I have a feeling that this summer is going to be an all timer, and the bath salts are going to contribute their share of the mayhem. People high on that stuff are just on a whole other planet. Had a guy on bath salts night before last who was panicking because he could not get out of his unlocked truck. He was sweating so much from trying to get out, the truck windows looked like the sex scene from Titanic.CHIRP! CHIRP!
Huge increase here too. Biggest symptoms we've been seing is extreme paranoiaThe world would be much cleaner if blind people carried brooms instead of sticks.

We visited this about a year or so ago on this forum,and not to many were familiar at that time.The very moment I was getting shot(11/11/2010),my personal physicians son was commiting suicide because of them.My Dr. later went on the Today show about it,and La. has enacted one of the strictest laws so far (I beleive) in the U.S. against them.BEWARE,for the old timers on here,this shit is 5X worse than angel dust+qualudes,these people do NOT feel pain,they KNOW you are out to kill them so they WILL try to take you out first.]
The use of "Salts" is picking up around here. I was involved in an incident back in Feb where the suspect was on them; of course we didn't know it at the time. He went on a mini-crimespree & didn't seem to mind drawing attention to himself. He drove his truck through an overhead door at a storage unit; used a fire extinguisher to burglarize a car in a parking lot as employees were arriving for work; and drove through a chainlink fence across from a residential area to steal a trailer.
NO acknowledgement of us during verbal commands. And his "1000 yard stare" clued me that he was on something. We went hands on & quickly escalated to hard empty hands, joint manipulation & strikes. This guy felt NO pain. Another thing I noticed during this time was the suspect was not responding to us verbally in any way. Every little bit, he would growl & this seemed to give him more strength/resistance. During this, he was grabbing at our belts & managed to get my partner's radio & hit him with it.
The Taser was effective, until we knocked a probe loose rolling him over to cuff him. Then the fight was on again. We ended up with 3 of us (each over 200 lbs) on a guy that was 5'9"/170. We finally got him in custody by flat choking his ass out.
The guy was wringing wet with sweat & we were cautious of Excited Delirium; so we called medical. He made the trip to the hospital fine, but then exploded again. This time it took 5 guys to get him down & in cuffs.
When CID was able to talk to him, he didn't even remember driving the 3 hrs to our fair city from his hometown where his escapades had actually started. We cleared several cases for them and 2 in smaller towns in between us.

Blitz attack on designer drug sales nets 7 arrests
MUNCIE -- In their actions, if not their words, local authorities on Monday declared war on those who sell bath salts in the Muncie area.
Delaware County Prosecutor Jeffrey Arnold stood at a podium outside the downtown Justice Center early Monday afternoon and announced seven arrests stemming from "a nine-month undercover investigation" of the selling, at local convenience stores, of the designer drugs, concocted to mimic the impact of other illegal substances like LSD and methamphetamine.
Behind Arnold stood Muncie Police Chief Steve Stewart, Delaware County Sheriff Mike Scroggins and his chief deputy, Jason Walker. Their departments a few hours earlier had led raids at a half-dozen stores -- five in Muncie and one in Yorktown -- and three apartments, in the Orchard Apartments in the 700 block of East Centennial Avenue, along with a residence in Indianapolis.
The 10 raids, conducted by teams comprised of six officers, were launched about 9:30 a.m., and all were completed in the span of about one minute, according to Arnold.
Blitz attack on designer drug sales nets 7 arrests
Coordinated raids catch residents off guard
The sight of police cars pulling into the BP parking lot was the first sign to Amanda Gregory something was wrong.
She went to work at the Phillips 66 gas station -- across the Centennial and Wheeling avenues intersection from the BP station -- ready to begin Monday morning as soon as she could.
Shortly after 9 a.m., police cars swarmed the area, crime scene tape blocked entrances to the station and Gregory grew concerned, not only about the safety of the employees across the street, but her own as well.
"I started to freak out. I was kind of scared, to tell you the truth. I thought maybe they were robbed and someone got shot. Something like that," Gregory said. "I called my manager right away and asked her what I should do. Believe me, it freaked me out."
Until she heard from her manager and other customers that no one was hurt. There was an illegal bath salt and spice raid at the station.
And not only that station, but at five other gas stations throughout the county. The raid, which was the culmination of a nine-month undercover investigation of the sale at local convenience stores of "bath salts" -- drugs designed to mimic the impact of street drugs like LSD and methamphetamine, was carried out by Muncie Police Department, Delaware County Sheriff's Department and the Indiana State Police.

IndianaFuzz, I noticed a certain commonality in the names of the owners / arrested. One big, happy, drug peddling family?

* Hardeep "Tony" Singh, 31
* Kameljit Singh.
* Kulyinber Singh.

And in case the name waters weren't muddy enough, there's this gem
The remaining five defendants were apparently listed in court documents by names other than what they later gave authorities -- and were booked into the Delaware County jail under -- on Monday.
They face a variety of charges -- all of a similar nature to those filed against Harpreet and Hardeep Singh -- that could not be specified Monday night because of the changes in names used.
Prosecutor Arnold also said it was possible that one man had been charged under two different names.\\` ` ` ` < ` )___/\

As this season comes to an end, I look back at how the season played out. Sad to say, there was only one ray of light, and that was Brian Dozier. The kid worked hard over the off season, weathered a tough patch at the beginning of the season, and in my opinion, has captured second base for years to come. But still, I remain cautiously optimistic that the turnaround will stay for many years. Scott Diamond did nothing but regress, and in all reality, was probably never fully recovered from the injury
I have been in the military a long time and have been privileged to come close to seeing my Twins play. When I was in Minot ND, I had purchased my tickets, right behind third base, had a hotel picked out, selected a friend to go with me, and was two days away from my trip when I got the call. The man on the other end was one who did not ask questions, he was more of a hard assed supervisor who did not discuss much with those he out ranked. I knew I should not have picked up the phone; after all,

Paper Engineers: Roni Ruggenberg, Christine Lee Illustrator: Emi Tanji
or April Fool's Day, we presented Lil' Flame as though he was the first figure in a new papercraft version of the Dungeons & Dragons Miniatures Game. While that's not true, we think you might want to bring him to your gaming table all the same.
Created by Wizards of the Coast Concept Designer Emi Tanji with Packaging & Product Designers Roni Ruggenberg and Christine Lee, and named after the most famous villain in the history of Dungeon magazine (who was just featured in Issue 200's Flame's Last Flicker adventure), Lil' Flame packs a ton of draconic might into his tiny frame.
Click the link below, print out his sheet, and, with an appropriate cutting implement and some tape or glue (plus parental supervision), Lil' Flame can make a great rainy day project for young adventurers. But this hi-res image can also be blown up to larger scale and printed onto any available material for the entertainment of advanced craftsfolk of all ages. (In fact, we'd love to see pictures of any particularly impressive versions of Lil' Flame you construct. Email them to us at email@example.com.)
And if you find you have a taste for cut-and-fold dungeoneering, look for the papercraft Lolth figure (also created by Emi Tanji and Christine Lee) that will be available at the Wizards of the Coast booth at the PAX East, Gen Con, and PAX Prime conventions later this year.

Sony Hopes to Woo Girls With Hannah Montana PSP
Due out in July, Sony announced a lilac version of the PlayStation Portable as a key component of the Hannah Montana PSP Entertainment Pack earlier today. If the lilac doesn't woo the tweens, they're hoping the 2GB Memory Stick PRO Duo does it. If for some reason that doesn't work, they'll tempt tweens by including several episodes of Hannah Montana in the UMD format. In the unlikely event that's not enough, the pack will also include a yet-to-be-named rhythm based Hannah Montana game exclusive to the pack. And if plans A-D somehow don't capture the market, the surefire Plan E will: stickers! The Hannah Montana PSP Entertainment Pack will retail for $199.

Thanks for the post ♥♥♫♫♪♪ !!..
Damn that had me cracking up laughing ☺
You pathetic fool!
Great entertainment. I grew up in that area and grew up watching the show. Doing the funky Broadway was the thing in the late 1960s. He is the Great One. Jackie Gleason and Timmie Rogers were having fun on stage.
I miss TV like this, classy entertainers doing what they want to do at their best, and smoking on tv!
just jokes which are fine when they come from a good place steriotypical or not. Self depricating humor was Jackies thing and he was not putting anyone down at all. Get a life and chill the fuck out patna
Great interaction between two great, classy entertainers! They played off each other beautifully!
Man, this clip is AWESOME!… these two were really funny together… Jackie was the Greatest!
Geez stop politicizing everything! Just enjoy it. This is 1960s America. I love this type of Comedy. I hate censorship.
Its interesting that Gleason could allow such stereotypical and racist jokes because he was very involved in the black arts movement and the civil rights movement. A truly remarkable white guy he was. I suppose that this clip demonstrates how he was just as much a product of the racist television standards as Timmie Rogers, perhaps.
Does anyone have any other vids of the Jackie Gleason show? Jackie rules!!!
"oh yeah"…..did several Ed Sullivan shows.I remember when I was kid,funny cat.
he was gettin' it..what was the dance he was doing?
Irish guys with big TV shows with black guests: Ed Sullivan, Jackie Gleason, (and a few others)
naw I don't think it is really offensive
For this reason, I don't think any blacks can be offended by the ribs or soul food joke. At least I don't see why they would. At the worst, it may be silly, but not racist.
yeah I know
however I was also thinking that it was just referring to him being a "soul brother", ribs are common in soul food :p
It's a pretty silly sterotype. As if KFC and Churches don't have many white and Asian customers or blacks are the only ones likeing and eating fried chicken. The barbque champion was a white southern guy. Whites grill all over America.
I'm pretty sure it's a stereotype though. like african americans and fried chicken.
OHHH YEEEAAAAAHHHHH!!!!! God bless Timmie Rodgers. He was so funny. When I was able to catch him on the Gleason Show–seems to me as early as '63–he just lit up the room and had me rolling for days afterward. Timmie was an American original and multi-talented. He used to take part in the B.S. choruses with all of the old hoofers at the end of all the tap shows in L.A., from the late '70s to his passing. I miss him already.
Can you buy these shows anywhere?
Timmie was on Sandford and Son for a while. Oh yeaaahhh!
Timmie and my father, Al Fields, were music partners. They wrote some wonderful songs for the likes of Nat King Cole (It's Crazy) and many others. Timmie and his 10-string Tipple were a fixture in our home and his recent passing is a loss to the comedy world and entertainment in general. He will be remembered forever. OH YEAH!!!
I don't think the joke is offensive eventhough both southern whites and blacks barbecue and enjoy ribs beside many other people. Ribs are not really a black thing.
Chinese cook ribs.
"Who else would kill a dinosaur and barbecue the ribs?"
Lol early racial humor.

The Valdosta Daily Times
Valdosta State's softball team will host two important Gulf South Conference doubleheaders this weekend.
The Blazers will face West Alabama on Saturday in a 2 p.m. doubleheader. Then on Sunday, Alabama-Huntsville, Valdosta State's longtime rival, comes to Steel's Diamond at Blazer Park. Game 1 of the Blazers and Chargers' doubleheader starts at 1 p.m.
"We've got to win some games, so it's a big weekend for us," Valdosta State head coach Thomas Macera said. "(We want) some more region wins. We're trying to win as many games as we can."
Sunday's game between Valdosta State and Alabama-Huntsville will be Pack the Park Day. Fans are encouraged to pack the stands at Steel's Diamond for the game. Free T-shirts will be given to the first 100 fans to enter the park on Sunday. Admission is free to Valdosta State students with a valid student ID.
"There's going to be a really big crowd here," Macera said. "How could it not help you if your hometown crowd (is like that)? You're playing on the road and there's like 25 or 30 people (in the stands), and you come here and there's several hundred. It definitely helps you.
"We've got the best fans that there is. They come out, they're loud and the team feeds off of it."
Alabama-Huntsville (28-11) leads the Gulf South Conference with a 17-4 conference record. Valdosta State is third in the standings at 13-6, behind UAH and first-year GSC member Shorter, which is 17-5 but is ineligible for the conference title.
The Chargers have won nine straight games, and Macera expects them to be at their best on Sunday.
"Huntsville's Huntsville. It's always a tough outing," VSU's head coach said. "You've got to bring your best game, or you're going to be in trouble."
UAH has two veteran pitchers in junior Whitney Toler (10-1, 3.33 ERA) and senior Whitney Gilbert (7-6, 2.41 ERA), both of whom have been starters since their freshman years.
At the plate, UAH is batting .334 as a team. Nine hitters have batting averages of .300 or better. Cortney McNett is swinging the Chargers' biggest bat, hitting .419 with nine home runs and 39 RBIs. Mary Kelley is batting .361 with four homers and 34 RBIs, Kathryn Whitlock has a .359 average, three homers and 39 RBIs and Mallory McNeal is batting .355. Abby MacKay (.322) is second on the team with six home runs.
"They're killing everybody," Macera said. "They're really hitting the ball hard and hitting the ball well. ... They're very good. They swing the bat. They're on a roll right now. They're playing well right now."
West Alabama (23-14) is sixth in the Gulf South Conference with a 10-12 record, but is one of six GSC schools with a winning record overall.
Like UAH, West Alabama is also pounding the ball this year. The Tigers have a .351 team batting average, and nine hitters batting .321 or better. Anna Shartzer leads the team with a .395 average, along with three home runs and 20 RBIs. Michal Robertson is hitting .377 with six homers and 26 RBIs. Whitney Brown is batting .371 with a team-best eight home runs and 40 RBIs. Morgan Morrison and Tamara Vickers are both hitting .366.
"They're solid. Most of their lineup is batting .350 or better. They can hit," Macera said.
Sarah Ray has been West Alabama's best pitcher this year. The junior right-hander has a 14-5 record and a 2.43 ERA. Jessica Brock has been the Tigers' No. 2 pitcher for most of the season, going 4-7 with a 4.64 ERA.
Valdosta State split doubleheaders with West Alabama and UAH earlier this season.
The defending Division II national champion Blazers are currently 28-8 and ranked No. 4 in the latest national poll.
"We're playing all right," Macera said. "(We're) still trying to figure some stuff out. We've had some people go down, we've had to move some people around. We're still trying to keep working hard, keep working on fundamentals and try to play the game. ... These girls are still trying to figure out how to play together."
Like their opponents this weekend, the Blazers have pounded the softball this season. They currently have a team batting average of .344 and have hit 44 home runs in 36 games. They are averaging seven runs a game.
All-American Courtney Albritton is having a monster year at the plate. She is batting .430 with 15 home runs and 37 runs batted in from the leadoff spot. Junior shortstop Shelby Altman is hitting .374 with eight home runs and 39 RBIs. Freshman first baseman Kiley Rusen has a .356 average. All-American left fielder Morgan Johnson is batting .351 with seven home runs and 30 RBIs. Senior catcher Ashley Steinhilber has a .344 batting average and three home runs.
Valdosta State has rotated a trio of starting pitchers. Brianna Hancock, who was chosen the Gulf South Conference Pitcher of the Week earlier this week, is 10-3 with a 2.90 ERA. Kenzi Reed is 9-2 with a 1.76 ERA. Hanna Lythberg is 7-3 with a 1.87 ERA.
"They've gotten better," Macera said. "They've just got to keep finding ways to keep us in the game and give us a chance."

The effort to lift the states fracking moratorium has died a quiet death, one of several casualties resulting from a House-Senate compromise on the states energy policy.
The Senate is scheduled to take up a comprehensive energy measure, Senate Bill 76, on Tuesday. It emerged publicly on Friday after a month of closed-door conference discussions between House and Senate members.
The resulting compromise has been stripped of controversial provisions that would have lifted the states fracking moratorium in 2015, removed the state geologist from the N.C. Mining and Energy Commission, and allowed for the deep injection of fracking waste in disposal wells.
The Senate had proposed those and other changes in the spring, but the House balked at radically revising a complex energy law that had passed just a year earlier by a single vote. Many of the Houses concerns are reflected in the compromise.
The new version directs the Mining and Energy Commission to conduct several studies. One is on the feasibility of a coordinated permitting program that would require a single comprehensive permit for shale gas exploration. Another is to study the appropriate severance tax rate on fracking operations. And another calls for studying registration requirements for the landmen who sign drilling leases with property owners.
The bill would also create a $250 million offshore energy emergency cleanup fund. And it directs the governor to work with his counterparts in Virginia and South Carolina to create a regional strategy for developing offshore drilling and offshore wind farms.
Common Core questions
Republican Lt. Gov. Dan Forest is challenging the states adoption of the Common Core education standards by asking the states education department to answer 20 pages of questions 67 questions in all.
The State Department of Public Instruction received his request and asked him to provide 10,000 pages of paper so it could answer them, according to a Facebook post from Forest. The Republican said his office delivered the paper Friday and posted a photo online.
Upon receipt of their reply to my letter, my team will methodically research all the answers supplied so that we can push this dialogue at the upcoming Board of Education meetings, Forest wrote. I will keep you updated on the progress of this effort.
Forest is a member of the State Board of Education. No word on how much time and money it will take DPI to answer his questions or how long Forests state-paid staff will spend going through the answers.
Regulatory bill advances
An omnibus regulatory reform bill that would address environmental regulations, city ordinances, wages and other areas of government passed the Senate Friday in a 26-7 vote. Several senators raised concerns with portions of the 60-provision bill, House Bill 74.
It would prohibit livable-wage ordinances by communities, said Sen. Floyd McKissick, a Durham Democrat. Overall, there are some good portions (in the bill), but some portions give me very deep concerns.
Currently, municipalities and counties can set their own local living-wage ordinances, which can be tailored to meet community needs.
One provision, which would stop counties and municipalities from phasing out billboard signs in their communities, has been opposed by the League of Municipalities for giving local governments less independence in deciding how they want to deal with outdoor advertising. But the bill was amended earlier in the session: It wont erase laws regarding billboards already in place.
The industry supports the provision because it would allow sign owners to replace their property when it falls into disrepair. The bill will be sent to the House for concurrence.
Abortion bill update
Sen. Warren Daniel, a Morganton Republican, says Senate President Pro Tem Phil Berger has indicated the Senate will take final action on abortion legislation consistent with one of the two competing bills this session.
The bill approved by the House and endorsed by the governor is sitting in the Senate waiting for some kind of decision. The Senates similar but different version has been buried in the House. Neither side appears anxious to work things out in a conference committee, so theres no telling what will emerge in the final days.
The legislature expected to wrap up its business this week.
Last week, Gov. Pat McCrory signed an abortion-related bill requiring that classroom curriculum include instruction that abortion is a risk factor for premature birth later in life.

An insurance claims clearinghouse that works with North Carolina healthcare providers is worried about the states new Medicaid payment system.
An executive with Florida-based Availity wrote a letter to state Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Aldona Wos saying the company has not been given numerous operational details about the system.
Providers file insurance claims with Availity, which then submits them for processing. The letters author, Availity Senior Vice President of Provider Solutions Scott Herbst, declined through a company spokeswoman to be interviewed.
The state Department of Health and Human Services will switch to the new system July 1.
DHHS spokesman Ricky Diaz said Computer Sciences Corp., the company that built and will operate the system, has set up a special technical support group for companies such as Availity. The agency and CSC are readying a war room for July 1, where problems with payments can be handled quickly, Diaz said.
Weve been pretty up front with the fact that we expect some bumps in the road based on other states experiences with switching to a new bill processing system, he said.
The department announced earlier this month that it had completed final tests of the system, and that more than 1.2 million claims were paid successfully.
Forest: Protect the rule of law
Lt. Gov. Dan Forest says a North Carolina bill to allow immigrants in the country illegally would lead to an influx of illegal aliens and drain the states social welfare programs.
Those of us elected to office owe it to the citizens of our state to protect the rule of law, the Republican wrote in a letter to the editor published in the Winston-Salem Journal. Our legislature should pass laws that encourage legal actions, not illegal ones.
Forests stance makes him the most prominent opposition to date on the immigration bill, dubbed the RECLAIM NC Act, which would also allow immigrants to be jailed while police check their immigration status. The bills sponsor, Rep. Harry Warren, considers it a compromise measure to make roads safer and free police to focus on criminals. The legislation is stuck in the House Finance Committee, where it has sat since early May.
In a civil society, it is necessary to not reward illegal behavior otherwise more illegal behavior will follow, Forest wrote. Rewarding illegal aliens with a privilege that is reserved for citizens and those lawfully present in North Carolina is wrong.
Hygienists lobby senators
Dental hygienists who work for the state took the day off Wednesday to tell senators how important their jobs are to keeping childrens teeth in good shape.
The Senate budget proposal cuts the Oral Health section in the state Department of Health and Human Services, which includes 39 hygienists who work to prevent cavities in school-age and pre-school age kids.
Sixteen of the 39 were knocking on senators doors Wednesday.
The state traveling hygienists put sealants on eligible childrens teeth at school and refer them to dentists for fillings, said Wendy Schwade, a hygienist from Durham who works in Granville, Vance and Person counties. The state hygienists work in 80 counties, according to information from the office.
The Senate budget cuts all the jobs and $2.8 million, and sends $1.6 million to local health departments that sponsor dental clinics. But 51 counties dont have dental programs that would be eligible to take the diverted funds, according to the Oral Health office.
The House budget proposal spares the office.

At SANCA you won't find lions, tigers or bears, but you will find unicycles, aerial fabrics and a high flying trapeze. This is, after all, Seattle's own "School of Acrobatics and New Circus Arts" and it's the perfect place to break out of your old gym routine.
"We have something to offer for everybody, no matter what level of fitness you come in at," SANCA founder Chuck Johnson said.
Spinning inside the large German wheel or walking the tightrope are both understandably intimidating, but SANCA classes will start you at the very beginning.
"We focus on both emotional and physical safety, so when people come in we make sure that they are comfortable with what they are doing," Johnson said. "We build all of our progressions in really small steps, so that at the end of the day you've succeeded in the bigger skill that maybe you couldn't have done when you walked in."
Take the trapeze, for example. SANCA instructors teach students aerial basics on the ground before anyone ever swings through the air. Then students are harnessed into several redundant systems to ensure safety, and progress from simple trapeze swings, to knee hangs and finally to a catch.
"We break things down into small enough pieces that are not dangerous, so students feel successful," Johnson said. "Then we add a little bit, and we add a little bit more to it and pretty soon students are flipping on the trampoline or flying through space on the trapeze."
Along with the flying trapeze, SANCA offers a wide variety of circus arts classes that combine fitness and fun.
Develop balance, agility and coordination with juggling, tight wire, unicycle and German wheels classes, and improve your core strength with hula-hoop sequences. Add intense upper body work with aerial classes that include climbing and performing tricks on aerial fabrics, static trapezes, aerial hoops and ropes suspended from the ceiling.
Kick up your cardio routine with a trip to the trampoline, which, according to Johnson, offers a great interval training workout.
"It's a very anaerobic exercise," Johnson said. "People think it's aerobic but you can't do it for very long because you get totally winded. It uses the entire body because you're using your core and your legs to stabilize, and you're in the air and its fun."
And since the circus arts feel more like recess than a workout, it's an activity every single member of the family can enjoy.
In fact, Cristal Peterson bought her husband enrollment in a juggling class for Father's Day, and after seeing how much fun he was having, enrolled herself and her kids in classes.
"It's fantastic and you don't realize your getting such a good workout and you're having so much fun," Peterson said. "I love it."
Many parents like Alisa Beiber appreciate that SANCA allows kids to be active while offering alternatives to highly competitive activities and organized sports.
"It's a chance to be challenged, but not pushed in ways that you don't want," Beiber said.
SANCA provides a place for both kids and adults to gain self-confidence. They do this through creating achievable progressions and supporting participants to push outside their comfort zones with activities like the trapeze. According to Johnson, that self-confidence is something everyone takes with them long after they leave the gym.
"The thing I hears the most from returning students is 'because I was able to do something I didn't think I could do here, now when I try something out in my job, or I think maybe I can't do it, I try it anyway,'" Johnson said. "I hear that all the time, it's pretty amazing."

Online Courses:
I haven't had any online courses, but friends say it is nice.
Academic Flexibility:
My scheduling of classes is very easy, I like morning classes so I finish that days homework right then, not at night.
Academic Experience:
Well right now I am just working on General edcation, but the resources are really good.
Academic Experience:
Many athletic programs, and many professors that help out students.
Tuition & Financial Aid:
My financial aid is the worst, I can barely afford going to college and they will not help me at all.
Student Body:
My school has much diversity like Hispanic, Asian, French, Irish etc. The student body s always talking and smiling, my first semester I didn't meet anyone that was rude.
Overall Experience:
The professors for the most part are really helpful, and they take as much time that is needed to help you understand the mmaterial.
Overall Experience:
They have many resources on their campus.
Campus Resources:
Campus has many quite study spots, and it has a lot of space in those places. American River also has many lawns so it relaxes you during the day.
Online Courses:
I haven't taken an actual online class, but most of the classes that I've taken have been hybrid classes where all of your homework will be online. It will be submitted through online. You can also find your grades and notes that the teacher has. If you ever have a question about something you can always post it in the discussion board and other students/or professor will answer the question. I like it. It keeps us interactive. Organization is better, no more wasting paper or having to spend money on school supplies.
Campus Resources:
I find that everything is very accessible. I love the big student center. There's a Starbucks inside, lots of tables, couches, chairs to sit and do homework or study. They also have a Subway and other food services, too many to chose from. The library is very big and nice. It has multiple floors and nice study rooms for tutoring. They have lots of tutoring services. I likes that in my Math 120 class they had two tutors during class to help the teacher with any questions, and they offered tutoring right after class. It was all offered for free! Why not take advantage of that! There's lots of campus activities. There's flyers about them everywhere even in bathroom stalls. Besides of the students that attend the college and make it seem more ghetto than it really is, I enjoy going to school there. I likes the campus and they've worked really well with me there. They even have a CSU Sac State representative on campus that you can talk to about transferring into Sac State, which is my plan.
Career Services:
I have not graduated therefore I am unable to respond.
Academic Experience:
the art program is a small community. all of the art faculty know each other. the workload varies depending on the professor but it is usual for professors to assign a lot of work. projects are assigned with intent to learn and improve many different skills.
Academic Experience:
my professors have all been very informative, genuine and approachable. mostly i've taken general ed so the curriculum is usually very general. class registration is easy as long as you have an early registration date. i've only been on the waist list once. free tutoring is offered in English and math.
Student Body:
The student body at my school is very diverse in many ways. Many ethnic people attend this school, myself included. I feel comfortable there. I believe the economic levels are mainly lower-middle class and some but less middle-upper class. It is typical to be a poor college student. It is easy to make friends.
Career Services:
The best post-grad service at American River College is its Career Center. Its alumni network is weak and job prospects are thin.
Overall Experience:
I would choose my school again because it is close to home, affordable, and good quality.
Overall Experience:
AlRC iss one of he more diverse colleges the are ,incliding the ages variatiins . They range fron 17 to 68 as far as i know
Campus Resources:
I REALLY HAVE ENJOYED THE INSTRUCTORS THAT IVE HAD AR ARC ESPECIALLY Lias bertacini Huma. SERVICES Ethics
Arc is a very big campus, with over 35 000 students attending. The teachers are great, passionate and attentive to students, however the class spots are limited. Classes fill up very easy and so they assign registration dates to each students. You are lucky when you get an earlier date. The student center is very new and is a hive of activity,a good place of interaction with other students. They have great academic advisers and a lot of different tutoring services to ensure student success.
Overall Experience:
The only reason I would maybe attend ARC again is because of the easy classes that I can take for an affordable tuition. Instead of taking my generals at a university and rack up a lot of student loans, going to ARC in the first and second year can cut those loans down.
Student Body:
I meet all kinds of people, just need to be careful and pick friends wisely because there are a lot of crazies
Tuition & Financial Aid:
Because its so affordable, your not going to get the experience and all its worth that you would from a university.
ARC has some great qualities such as their student center, study abroad program, medical programs and their student services

To the Editor:
Cumberland Times-News
First and foremost, we wish to thank our delegation for their strong advocacy and leadership. They are greatly appreciated. ("Delegation wants dismissed juvenile justice teachers rehired," July 21 Times-News, Page 1A)
This is a very difficult time for the youth centers in general, and 10 highly qualified educators specifically.
In general, the youth centers' culture and ability to protect the safety and security of its students and staff has spiraled downward at an alarming rate.
For Secretary (of juvenile services Sam) Abed to refute a courageous staff's letter to Delegate Kelly regarding the frightening condition of the centers by stating it was "misinformation" was not only disrespectful, it was a lie. ("Youth center staffing not a concern, say state officials," June 25 Times-News, Page 1A)
According to the Office of the Attorney General's Juvenile Justice Monitoring Report, (April 2013, p. 34), "Combined total incidents involving aggression at the youth centers have increased substantially during the first quarter of 2013 when compared with the same period in 2012."
In my 17 years serving as principal, the youth centers have experienced only two riots — both in the spring of 2013 under Secretary Abed's leadership.
His effect on the youth centers has been an unmitigated disaster for staff and more importantly, for the students under his care.
Ironically, prior to Secretary Abed's appointment by Gov. Martin O'Malley, the youth centers were referred to as the Maryland Model. It is no longer that same program as staff and students are injured at an alarming and unacceptable rate.
Second, regarding our educators, on March 1, the Maryland State Department of Education (MSDE) convened a meeting to state how the impending transfer was going to occur. During the meeting, MSDE produced their new staffing pattern for the youth centers.
It became clear immediately that the MSDE model violates both state and federal education laws. For example, the document lists neither social studies teachers nor science teachers. In fact, MSDE chose to let go all of our highly qualified social studies teachers, terminated the automotive program and the instructor, and reassigned our science teachers to teach life skills!
Other positions and educators soon followed and when it ended, MSDE let go 10/30 highly qualified educators in the youth centers representing 120 years of experience working with adjudicated students.
Third, due to the violation of the personnel regulations that govern the transfer of state positions, we are requesting to be reinstated. However, we strongly support our colleagues recently hired by MSDE. Our reinstatement should not result in their loss of employment.
We understand their commitment to the students and we certainly understand what it means to be working one day and unemployed the next.
Therefore, we propose the following solution: reinstate our 10 educators and retain our colleagues too. Although the youth centers would still be woefully short of the same personnel, facilities and resources provided to our colleagues east of Sideling Mountain, at least we would be closer to their existing staffing pattern.
Without question, we do not want what is right for us to be wrong for those newly hired. Hence, as this issue is resolved we stand with our peers.
In conclusion, when Gov. Robert Ehrlich and the General Assembly initiated the transfer of Maryland Department of Juvenile schools to MSDE, it was done with the greatest intentions.
I believe the law was never intended to dismantle effective programs. However, that's exactly what has happened to the Youth Centers — Maryland's Model.
The transfer of DJS schools to MSDE and Secretary Abed's ineffective punitive model of care have resulted in the perfect storm for the youth yenters.
As we fight to be reinstated, we hope our efforts will result in a safer and more secure program that finds itself once again offering state and nationally recognized programming. Thank you for your support.
Mike Lewis
