A Fraternal Order of Police lodge has regained its tax-exempt status from the Cambria County Board of Assessment Appeals.
FOP Flood City Lodge 86 owns a remote and hilly piece of property in Lower Yoder Township where more than 150 law enforcement officers from 16 agencies in Cambria and Somerset counties train.
When the organization bought the land a few years ago, members assumed their tax-exempt designation from when the lodge was at other locations would remain intact.
However, the status was attached to the properties, not the organization.
The Flood City lodge then requested tax exemption from Cambria County, Greater Johnstown School District and Lower Yoder in 2011. The township objected at the time.
The request was rejected without a reason being given.
On Friday, the lodge gained tax-exempt status during an appeals hearing before Judge Patrick Kiniry.
"It's very important for the FOP," said Dennis McGlynn, the attorney for the local lodge.
"They are a charity, and the taxes of $2,400 or $2,500 a year is a lot of money to an institution like that," McGlynn said. "Their funds come from dues and fundraisers. It really will help them financially."
The lodge, assessment agency and three taxing bodies had reached an agreement before the hearing.
"Once presented with all of the facts, everyone agreed that they are tax-exempt," McGlynn said.
Law enforcement officers use the facility for training in areas such as firearm qualification, Special Emergency Response Team exercises and K-9 classes.
The property's secluded nature does not provide for public access. No social functions are held there. Any money raised through fees and/or fund drives supports the lodge.
"When we got the discovery (exchange of information between the parties), that was when we were able to make that determination," assessment board solicitor Thomas Swope said.
"We weren't sure what they were using the property for," Swope said. "But once we were able to make that determination, it was clear they're not there generating funds. Any money that they do generate goes back into the organization to help train the local police, which, in turn, alleviates the need for each local police department to provide their own training."
All of the local FOP's properties had been tax-exempt.
"There's a history there or a precedent there," Swope said.

Origins News Roundup for July 23, 2014
This week in origins news, a great collection of articles by key players in the conversation about theology and science, a surprising science fair discovery, and the Apollo 11 anniversary!

This week in origins news, a great collection of articles by key players in the conversation about theology and science, a surprising science fair discovery, and the Apollo 11 anniversary!
Last year I introduced readers to one of the leading voices about Christianity and science, John Polkinghorne. I also helped BioLogos bring in another leading voice, Robert Russell. This new series introduces a third prominent Christian thinker, Lutheran theologian Ted Peters, Research Professor Emeritus in Systematic Theology and Ethics at Pacific Lutheran Theological Seminary, the Center for Theology and the Natural Sciences (http://www.ctns.org/), and the Graduate Theological Union in Berkeley, California.
While my work was not directly focused on evolution, the topic was everywhere around me, just as creationism was part of the culture of the South where I grew up. Confronted almost daily by my ignorance of the science of evolution, I decided to embark on a study. I was confident that if Christianity were true, it could withstand even the toughest questions.
What we do learn from scripture is that there is only one Creator and that there's a clear distinction between God and the created world. And that we who are created in the image of God are able to investigate a creation that is remarkably tuned for our discovery.
When read in this way, the Genesis stories may be seen as one of the greatest-ever revolutions in human understanding. Genesis used the literary forms of the day to introduce its readers to a rational God who cares for people – and whose faithfulness made science possible. Genesis is expressly about theology, not science.
"There are clues in a text as to how the text should be written, so with Genesis, the rhythmic nature of Genesis 1 and 2, the almost poetic, and hymnic, function that it would have played in the liturgy of the earliest Jewish lives… it seems to me that there are clues here that it should be read in a theological way."
We must press beyond the various creation narratives in the Hebrew Bible, including the final chapters of Job, to the picture of God revealed in the New Testament—the Creator who does not rationally explain away the scandal of suffering but who instead enters into it.
The confident assertion that the Bible trumps science stems from a misunderstanding of the purpose of the scriptures, and a misapplication of the Bible to answer questions that can only be answered by the application of science.
The Nazarenes Exploring Evolution poll of religion scholars reveals that most scholars in science, Bible, and theology are open to the possibility that Christian faith is compatible with the idea that God creates through evolution.
What we do learn from scripture is that there is only one Creator and that there's a clear distinction between God and the created world. And that we who are created in the image of God are able to investigate a creation that is remarkably tuned for our discovery.
A few months ago Zondervan published the anthology Four Views on the Historical Adam. This valuable new resource addresses one of the most common questions Christians have about evolution: how does the Adam of the Bible fit with the scientific and historical evidence about early humans?
We now take for granted an understanding of the Christian story that was largely worked out by Paul and later theologians. Even though the Gospels were composed after Paul's letters, they were concerned to tell the story itself in all its strangeness as it had been preserved by the first generation of Christians. And what we find in the stories themselves is the shock and wonder and surprise that the resurrection caused.
The BioLogos Book Club discussion of Francis Collins' The Language of God.
Russell Crowe as Noah was no superhero. He was very human—perhaps too human for those who'd prefer he remain in the flannel graph world of our Sunday School stories.
Does BioLogos believe that God is the creator? Yes, all Christians believe this; the question is, how did God create?
As people came together for real conversations, they actually listened to one another, which is not always common in the kind of controversial topics we were exploring—topics about origins, evolution, and biblical interpretation.
Watch to see whether the debate encourages the opinion that science and Christianity are at war. We don't think you have to choose sides.

By TERRY CUMMINS
Local columnist
— Do you ever wonder why man seeks material things that accumulate in his store rooms, rather than striving for what his life is all about? Man should give more thought to what he's doing and where he's going after his breathing stops. I use the term "man" rather than mankind, humankind or man/woman. Generally, women are wiser than men, who need more philosophical and spiritual help than women do. Women better understand the essence of life, especially after giving birth to a new life, a perfectly sacred undertaking if there ever was one.
My previous article explored what the wise men said after centuries of thinking things through. Modern man skipped all that and now relies on computers to jerk him through uncertain life. (To what end?) Man thinks if tech works for him, he can conquer just about anything. He can record his deepest or shallowest thoughts and wideweb them to people everywhere. As he spreads himself around, linking his Face to multitudes, who stare at screens to interact with him, he might be spreading himself too thin. Can he ever log on to his own essence using his hands to poke at things without connecting his heart and brain to human kind?
In a previous article, I reported what wise men learned. Wisdom gets to the heart of things, essentially how best to live the "good" life, which we've been granted. Our creator is the wisest of all, who put us here to create our own lives. I don't think God is necessarily anti-Internet, but questions that texting is an acceptable form of prayer to him.
In his book, "A Calendar of Wisdom-Daily Thoughts to Nourish the Soul," Leo Tolstoy devoted a major part of his life accumulating bits of wisdom from the world's sacred texts to live by. He was a rich man who spent the end of his life giving his fortune away. In regard to wealth, he quoted numerous wise men including Jesus, who said, "It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God." If you are a rich man, beware of the IRS. Put your fortune in an off-shore bank.
If you decide to go bankrupt, what should you do then? Philosopher George Lichtenberg asked, "Who am I? What should I do? What should I believe in and hope for?" You may not know who you are, but you determine what you do. Consider kindness: "Kind people feel good because they are kind." Seneca said, "He who does good to others makes the biggest gift to himself." Confucius said, "All people have kindness within them." That was before Congress passed the hate laws. Shelley, the poet, wrote, "The worst mistake ever made in this world was the separation of political science from ethics." Amen!
Do you believe that all people have an equal right to the privileges of the world? How about healthcare? Repeal Obamacare and then what? If all men are created equal, Tolstoy said, "A person must completely close his eyes on his morals, that in a Christian society (He was a devout Christian) so filled with people in need, there are other people who are so proud to have great wealth."
Themes running throughout the book of wisdom are — doing good, enjoying the simple life and its small pleasures, because "the greatest truth is the most simple one." The wise recognized the role of faith and religion and living in the present, because the past and future do not exist. Not one wise man condoned violence and war. Otto Bismarck said, "I have a burden on my soul all my long life. I did not make anyone happy, not even myself. About 800,000 people were killed because of me on the battlefield, and their mothers, brothers and widows cried for them. And now this stands between me and God." Where's the wisdom when we've gone from "know thyself" to arm thyself?
Speaking of the soul, Cicero said, "He who understands his soul will understand the divine spark within," but what happens to the soul when death comes? Socrates said that death is a "permanent sleep." Even the wisest don't really know what happens after death. Life is where it's at, and Helen Keller said, "Life is an adventure, or nothing." So, when death comes, what an adventure that will be! Contemplate your life and pass some wisdom on — via the Internet, if you must.

Thread: Two old ladies
Two old ladies
Two old ladies were outside their nursing home, having a smoke when it started to rain. One of the ladies pulled out a condom, cut off the end, put it over her cigarette and continued smoking.
Lady 1: "What's that?"
Lady 2: "A condom. This way my cigarette doesn't get wet."
Lady 1: "Where did you get it?" Lady 2: "You can get them at any drugstore. "
The next day ... Lady 1 hobbles herself into the local drugstore and announces to the pharmacist that she wants a box of condoms. The guy looks at her kind of strangely (she is, after all, over 80 years of age), but politely asks what brand she prefers.
Lady 1: "It doesn't matter as long as it fits a Camel."
"A strong man stands up for himself. A stronger man stands up for others."
The old sheriff was attending an awards dinner when a lady commented
on his wearing his sidearm. "Sheriff, I see you have your pistol. Are you
expecting trouble?" "No Ma'am. If I were expecting trouble, I would have
brought my rifle."
(just stole this one hope you don't mind)
The trouble with our liberal friends is not that they are ignorant,
it is just that they know so much that isn't so.

Mineola High School senior Mathew Long won his 100th varsity match on Jan. 12.
The Mustangs compete in the small-school Division II, only averaging 36 matches per year, making the 100th win a rare achievement.
Long also has a chance of beating the current 15-year school record of 116 varsity wrestling wins.
He has been a member of the wrestling team at the varsity level under coach Dan Guido since the eighth grade, only taking up the sport the year prior on the middle school team.
Since then Long has participated in competitions outside of the school district and as received many accolades for his success on the mat.
In addition to being captain of the varsity wrestling team for the last two years, Long was named All-Conference in 2009, County Champion in 2011 and 2012, and MVP of all the Division II teams in 2012.
If he completes the current season as County Champion for 2013, Long will then hold the school record for most consecutive county wins in wrestling, as well.

Within the emerging field of educational neuroscience, concerns exist that the impact of neuroscience research on education has been less effective than hoped. In seeking a way forward, it may be useful to consider the problems of integrating two complex fields in the context of disciplinary boundaries. Here, a boundary perspective is used as a lens for analyzing the results of a systematic review of the educational neuroscience literature. Recurring vocabulary used within the literature suggests indirect use of boundary principles, including the idea of connections and bridges between disciplines, inter-, multi-, and transdisciplinarity, and reference to tools (boundary objects) and people that may be useful in the evolving field of educational neuroscience. Analyzing the educational neuroscience literature through the lens of boundary principles indicates that the boundary between the two disciplines may itself be a bridging mechanism useful for the creation of a new discipline and new knowledge.

Catskill Airways will have flights from Oneonta to Washington, D.C. starting today. Its first flight, at 5:50 a.m., was expected to carry Sen. Daniel P. Moynihan to Washington.
Washington, D.C. is the last part of Catskill Airways' expansion program which opened up service to Boston, Bedford, Mass., and Elmira/Corning.

DELHI — The Dairymans League creamery at South Kortright is suspending operations at the close of business today, it is believed for keeps.
John Sharpe of South Kortright, who has been closely associated with the League since its inception, told The Star, "It's just too bad but it looks to me as though the League is going out of Delaware County about as fast as they can."
Mr. Sharpe said, "The Dairyman's League came to Delaware County in 1916 when the first big milk strike took place in the county. In January 1919, there was another milk strike for 21 days, and then the dealers had their own way beginning Feb. 1, 1920. Then the League members got busy and organized what is now the pool.
"South Kortright plant opened early in January 1923; at one time 25 men were employed when milk was being pasteurized and being bottled; then Borden's got the idea of taking the milk in tankers to their plant near New York City," Mr. Sharpe said.
"I gave about an acre of land on my farm for the plant to be built on, for the sum of $1, but I never did get the dollar," he chuckled. "The building," he said, "cost $52,000 when it was first built but I don't know how much has been put in it since, but it has been considerable."
Mr. Sharpe, 78, was born Feb. 9, 1885 at South Kortright on the farm generally known as the John Sharpe place.
The 400 acre farm had been in the Andrews and Sharpe family from Oct. 17, 1792, 148 years, until Mr. Sharpe sold it on Sept. 1, 1940, to Paul Denman of Neversink, who was driven from his farm there by the construction of the Neversink reservoir.

Valparaiso (14-19, 8-6 Horizon)
Youngstown State (4-29, 2-12 Horizon)
4/14/2012 | Niles, Ohio | Attendance: 110

Saturday, April 14, 2012
Kevin Wild (Brown Deer, Wis./Brown Deer H.S.) tossed eight-innings of shutout baseball leading Valparaiso to a 10-0 victory over Youngstown State on Saturday afternoon in game two of a weekend series at Eastwood Field in Niles, Ohio.
Wild scattered just five hits in the victory (3-1), while walking two and striking out two in the eight innings of work. Over his last six starts the senior has allowed just 29 hits in 46 innings of work.
"Wild goes right after hitters," head coach Tracy Woodson said after the game. "He's on a mission right now."
Valpo's offense gave him an early lead to work with, scoring once in the second and five times in the third. A two-out single in the second inning by Spencer Mahoney (LaGrange Park, Ill./Lyons Township H.S.) brought home Elliott Martin (Irvine, Calif./University H.S.).
The Crusaders batted around in the third inning. Tanner Vavra (Menomonie, Wis./Menomonie H.S.) singled home the first run of the inning while Will Hagel (Arlington Heights, Ill./Prospect H.S.) followed with a run-scoring base hit. Martin delivered a two-run double to make it 5-0 Crusaders as the first five batters of the inning all registered hits. Martin scored on a sacrifice fly by Chris Manning (Lake Forest, Calif./El Toro H.S.), giving the Brown and Gold the six-run advantage.
"Anytime you score early you can give the pitcher a bit of confidence," Woodson added. "Our biggest problem has been scoring early and then letting teams back in the game. Today we didn't do that. We did a good job of adding on."
Youngstown State starter Nic Manuppelli suffered the loss (1-3), allowing six runs on seven hits while working just the three innings.
Reliever Ryan Krokos kept the Valpo bats in check throughout the middle innings, allowing just one unearned run in the sixth. Hagel singled home Andrew Bain (Indianapolis, Ind./Park Tudor H.S.), who reached on a two-out error.
Valpo tacked on three more runs in the ninth to reach double figures for the fourth time this season. Steven Scoby (Delton, Mich./Delton Kellogg H.S.) doubled home Manning in the ninth and Bain added a sacrifice fly. Vavra came through with a double of his own to cap the scoring, plating Scoby.
The Penguins threatened in the ninth, loading the bases with no one out against Zack Walsh (Batesville, Ind./Batesville H.S.) but could not break up the shutout.
"I thought we were really good in all aspects of the game today," Woodson stated. "We swung the bats, pitched well and played defense. We got out of a couple minor jams."
Valpo finished the day with 11 hits with Vavra, Hagel, Martin, Mahoney, and Scoby all tallying two each.
You always want to take two out of three on the road but when you take the first two you have to be ready to come out and get the third one," Woodson concluded. "We hope to do that tomorrow."
Valparaiso (14-19, 8-6 Horizon) and Youngstown State (4-29, 2-12) will wrap up their three-game series on Sunday afternoon as the Crusaders look for the sweep. First pitch is set for 11 a.m. CDT at Eastwood Field.

The Journal Sentinel sports staff brings fans the latest news, notes and analysis on the Marquette men's basketball team
No. 18 Marquette beats No. 16 Pittsburgh
It was the biggest game yet this season for the Golden Eagles and they responded to the challenge.
Before a large and lively crowd at the BMO Bradley Center, No. 18 Marquette beat No. 16 Pittsburgh, 79-69, Saturday afternoon.
It was the 23rd consecutive home victory for the Golden Eagles (18-6, 9-3), who retained their piece of the Big East lead.
The Panthers, who lost at home to Marquette in overtime last month, are 20-6 and 8-5.
It was a nice bounce-back game for Marquette, which lost Monday night at Georgetown while committing 19 turnovers.
Vander Blue (19 points), Trent Lockett (11), Jamil Wilson (13) and Davante Gardner (14) all played well on the offensive end.
The Golden Eagles shot 45.5% from the floor.
Pitt coach Jamie Dixon was charged a technical foul with 6:05 left. Lamar Patterson of the Panthers was assessed a flagrant-1 with 5:30 remaining. Lockett was charged with a flagrant-1 two minutes later.
Pitt had won seven of its last eight games.
Although four of Marquette's last six games are on the road, it has put itself in position for its first Big East regular-season championship.

Good win against a tough team.
Blue and Wilson were awesome. OK where are all those MU and Buzz haters? Still hurting from the Min. loss? By the way I think UW will win against OSU sunday.Hide replies
I'd say where are all the Marquette boosters? But I didn't come over here as a troll, but as one to recognize that MU is a pretty good basketball team.
I wish Blue was a Badger, but both MU and UW have outperformed their early season consensus.
"smarting" is an understatement.
er - "hurting' is an understatement. You can't overstate how painful that loss was, and it was way worse for the team. Hope they recover better than MU did vs. MSU.

Kashmir Hill, Forbes Staff
Welcome to The Not-So Private Parts where technology & privacy collide
Last week, I spotted Neil Patrick Harris at a ramen restaurant in D.C. and tweeted about it. I immediately felt a little twinge of guilt about ratting out the star's location to my Twitter followers… especially after he looked at his phone and started peering around the tiny restaurant, as if he'd spotted my tweet and was looking for the responsible party. This is one of the downsides of being a public figure in the age of instant public communication; their recognizability makes it harder for them to maintain location privacy. But it's not just the Neil Patrick Harrises of the world who have to worry about their whereabouts being disclosed to third parties by fans; your smartphone is your biggest fan and it's constantly telling apps where you are.
Our smartphone apps are increasingly sucking up information about where we are at any given time in order to improve their operations (to show us the closest ramen restaurant, for example); to support other operations (using aggregate location data from lots of phones to tell us how bad the traffic is to get there); or just to make some cold hard cash off your data (telling all the other businesses near the ramen restaurant that they should be sending you coupons). Free apps say this helps them stay free. But free apps aren't the only ones getting in on the location-data monetization party. Even services you pay for are starting to pass along your location info to interested advertisers. If Verizon is your phone provider of choice, your location data is currently being bundled and sold, unless you've opted out.
Senator Al Franken of Minnesota isn't the hugest fan of the fast and loose economy growing up around our location data, so he's pushing a location privacy bill that would require companies to get your permission to see where you are and then to get explicit permission to provide your whereabouts to third parties (instead of just slipping a clause into their privacy policies that gives them that right). They'd actually have to provide a list of the third parties getting the location lowdown. Franken's bill would also criminalize "cyberstalking apps" — creepy apps that can be placed on mobile devices that surreptitiously report a phone user's location to another party. He originally presented the bill in 2011. On Thursday, it got the thumbs up from the Senate Judiciary Committee; while it's unlikely to be passed by the end of this session, Franken will be pushing for it to see the light of legislative day in 2013.
"Location information is extremely sensitive information," Franken said during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing Thursday. "Parties with access to this information know what roads you take to work, the church you go to, where you drop your kids at school, and the doctors you go to."
Franken mentioned a recent Federal Trade Commission investigation into smartphone apps aimed at children that found that 12 of the apps were collecting precise geolocation information about the kiddies without getting parental consent. (As concerned as we are about kids' privacy, it's worth noting that one of the exceptions to criminal cyberstalking apps in the bill would be parental monitoring ones that protective adults can use to track their minor children. All other apps would need to give notice when relaying a person's location to another person.)
"If a company wants to give your location to third parties, they need your permission," said Franken.
Senator Chuck Grassley of Iowa was a little warier of the crackdown on the location economy.
"The marketplace surrounding mobile apps … is a complex industry that's still evolving," said Grassley. He expressed concern that the constant location notifications might cause "consumers to revolt" and might result in many free apps having to become fee-based.
He suggested that when apps say to which third parties they're providing your location information they include the categories of companies rather than a list of the actual companies — many of which you probably wouldn't recognize.
"We don't want to take action too quickly that hurts industry," said Grassley. In other words, Grassley got lobbied really hard by advertising and mobile app representatives.
We'll see what 2013 holds for this bill. In the meantime, check out the WSJ's handy (but dated) guide to "what apps know about you" to see which apps on your phone are collecting your location information and which ones are passing it along to third parties. If you're not comfortable with your location being monetized, you might want to take Angry Birds off your phone.
Also on Forbes:
Is another law really needed / going to work? There is a rather simple remedy for this issue. However, it does require smart phone users to be responsible / accountable for the way that they use their phone and actually read Terms of Service. Then, if you don't want your location known, TURN OFF THE GPS in your phone and ALL LOCATION SERVICES!! Granted, you won't be able to "check-in" everywhere but the user has to decide what is more important, their privacy or the freebies, or their ability to broadcast their location via FB and Foursquare. You can turn the GPS on when you want to use a mapping app. It's really not that hard to do. A little common sense goes a long way. You know all those "free" apps you have on your phone? How do you think the developers get paid? Either through ads or by selling something.
Wait, so you're willingly going to limit your options? This doesn't seem like the best scenario to me. Companies should have your permission to track your location, regardless if a law is involved or not, because it's a matter of respect! If someone is following you around that much, it's called stalking! But since companies don't always do the right thing, a law needs to be made so they can be punished for it. Unfortunately, that's how it seems to work.
God! A grown up! Thank you for recognizing that one's privacy should be important enough to oneself to actually pay attention to how it might be invaded. And besides, if someone is actively disclosing their activities and location, how private is their life?
Reading the terms of service does not work because apps can just collect your location without you knowing about it and not even mention it in their terms of service.
Turning off GPS is inconvenient because you disable those apps you need, e.g. Google Maps if you are lost and need to figure out where you are.
Telling people to simply turn off GSP because some apps steal location data without your permission is like telling people to stop spending money because some products you buy may be faulty. You need money to buy things like food, clothes, and shelter, so if someone complains that some products are faulty and you say, "Hey, I have an idea, why don't you just stop spending money," then that person starves to death. It is better to focus on how to prevent faulty products from being sold, e.g. through consumer protection legislation. That is the approach suggested in this article regarding mobile phone apps.
People need to be in charge of the information that concerns them, meaning they should take the time to read the agreements that stipulate which companies have use of their information and how it's being used…..
and if companies are selling your 'purchasing profile' it should be you that gets a cut of the profits. Think about it, if a person is a profile of recent purchases (online or otherwise), the value of your profile is directly proportional to how much you buy and where..
Thank you Mr. Franken, for pursuing such obviously positive legislation.
To response to another comment posted here, yes this legislation is needed. Turning off GPS is not enough to prevent your location from being detected. I am a software developer, and I more often use your IP address to determine your location, usually within a few hundred yards. Also, cell phone tower triangulation is also a reliable source of location information, independent of GPS. My First-Gen iPhone did not have a GPS device, and it was able to reliably determine my location in Google Maps just fine.
Also, as an app developer, I can assure you that I have many ways to get paid without resorting to privacy invasion.
Liberty is to be free and independent
Without slavery, imprisonment, or loss of right.
Though bit-by-bit many try to steal it away
For if they were to take it all at once, we'd fight.
So protect your liberty that others don't have
For beside life, there's nothing more precious on Earth.
Too many have yearned, fought, suffered, and died for it
And we must never lose sight of what liberty is worth.
Evil loves to strike liberty from the cheeks of all
And it's been that way since the beginning of time.
For a mind that's not allowed to have a free thought
Becomes but a slave to the masters of mankind.
The Lord can close doors no man can open
And open doors no man can close.
It's up to us to prove our Heavenly worth
By our lifetime example of the path we chose.

No kidding they should do more to protect our privacy. Sure, it's honestly… Rather dead thanks to the internet. But that doesn't mean companies have the right to spy on us through our phones without us knowing or just by slipping some fine print in policy documents most people don't even read. >_>

anyways heres a gif of scott shaking his butt from that new yuna kim documentary in which i had more information about
eta: I just realized how it would be to hear d/w being introduced as the current world champs heading into the olympics. but then I realized it doesn't matter because they would be overshadowed by the introduction of the current olympic champs
its quite sad thought how our current oly champs keep overshadowing our recent world champs

I will not go. To spend so many money to see first OGM for americans
I thought about Team competitions, but now i am not sure. Maybe better to watch on TV.
Lost faith already pani? Goodness. The pressure is off V/M and on D/W. It will be interesting to see how they handle it.To spend so many money to see first OGM for americans.
Tessa and Scott have their OG already. They can now go out and skate their hearts out in what will be their last season.
I too will be staying home and watching.
Plus i dont care about Team event medals. And dont think V-M need to help SC to get one.
As for D-W. Al was done for me already - they get more tens, then other skaters ever get (even more, then Chan, Kostner and Kim). So they are better even then T-D, G-G never had so many 6.0. So what are you thinkg about? They won with very bad FD, so with something a little better, they will have all 10th and could fall 3 times. And they never get injuries, illness and alwayse run with max speed (in your opinion) so there fans are rights - they have OGM already.
And honestly, this season WCh gold for me were much more important, then something could happened next year.
Didnt you think it will be so great - the same medals with D-W, OG medlas, like W-P, D-R and Osmond will have in Sochi
I am kind of looking forward to next season, although it will be bittersweet. I am sure that whatever Tessa & Scott choose to skate to, I will love.
Crazy about sports!
If V/M recycle lifts, I'd love to see that serpentine lift from Pink Floyd again, particularly in a balletic context. Their lines in that lift are just jaw dropping. If they could do the Goose as a choreographic lift, that would be cool too. Or the Latin Trio curve lift as a choreolift!
I think they'd be fine.
gosh, if know how i write posts here, you know that i edit them a lot. i keep editing until someone replies and quotes me and i have to stop. but when i have my own blog, it gets ridiculous. anyway, i'm writing two pieces of commentary. one about the short dance articles and the other about the competition results (though not really the marks). i've edited them a lot and i may not be done. besides changing my mind endlessly, thinking about how much i want to say, i'm also a poet so i'm always playing with these words and trying to say my ideas better. here they are though. on my blog, i normally just link to stuff, but if my worlds section is going to be filled with gifs of v/m beaming and articles of them being so nonchalant, then i feel compelled to keep it real. the official story is normally sufficient, but not this time.
excerpt from the results commentary:
now, not only have they (and skate canada and the canadian media) moved on and there's no drama to be found here (with no one challenging the fact that meryl and charlie, a team that is quite frankly known and loved for their uncontrolled, fast and athletic style of ice dance, won the free dance only on pcs and goe's, marks for quality, detail and artistry) . . . but within minutes, they could say with the most genuine of smiles that they're "proud" of london, had a "great" week and will use this experience in sochi. the hometown angle is reduced to simply mean that they were "lucky" to have had the opportunity to skate worlds minutes from where they were raised. it was "nice" to skate in front of the people who've supported them from day one (because it's apparently rare or something). out of all their losses, they've certainly had worse. and in the end, what happened went beyond the marks, medals and anthems. if one moment can capture it, it was when they stood by the boards before they went out to skate the program that would inevitably earn the perennial champions silver. scott's face was bright, his eyes softly focused on tessa, while the crowd cheered them on in anticipation. "let's do it for us. it's you and me out there". but this hometown worlds was positioned as the most important competition for tessa and scott, second only to the home olympics. the afterglow of vancouver last for months, but the afterburn of london was non-existent except for a few unguarded moments in the kiss and cry post short dance. what gives?
to read more, click here
excerpt from short dance article commentary:
a year ago at nationals, tracy wilson was absolutely indignant with how the judges were marking tessa and scott and brought it up every moment she could. even though they won, you could tell tracy was furious with how the judges were systematically diminishing the asbolute mastery that tessa and scott demonstrate on the ice because the scores were far too low. on saturday, after reading from the current hymnal, she smiled and joined the refrain, telling us that these marks were a-okay. instead of giving a voice of reason to the shock, these articles, the official commentary from so-called experts, preemptively shut the complaints down and wrote the most insincere narrative to describe what happened.

Misha I posted my thoughts on your posts in your blog. And I believe I agreed that with another commenter about why Tessa and Scott were more content with their loss. After the SD I mean we all saw it in their faces that they knew it was over, so I agree with you that they probably made their peace with it before the FD Saturday. I definitely wish they got more support from the media and SC and Marina said she doesn't care if they get second or first so I just don't know anymore.
Anyways sahararainfall made this beautiful compilation of Tessa and Scott's senior FDs: http://midnightreignofjazz.tumblr.com/image/46357344608
I just read both of your posts. Your words are as beautiful as V/M's skating and dancing. Both resonated with me deeply. I had thought the waterworks, which have given over to rage as of late, were over with, but I'm sitting here with the tears pouring. I'm going to collect my thoughts and leave a few comments on your blog here in a bit.

I cover low-cost index fund and ETF investing.
I am to blame for S&P pulling the plug and downgrading U.S. debt from AAA to AA+. I say this because no one else is taking the blame, so it must be my fault.
The President is blaming the Bush tax cuts that he extended. The Democrats are blaming the Tea Party for suggesting the possibility of default during the recent debt ceiling debacle. The Republicans are blaming liberal Democrats for taking out-of-control entitlement spending off the table. Independents are blaming everyone.
The fact is that I am to blame. Yes, me. The voter.
I have made it a habit to vote only for the candidates who would give me more at the expense of others. When I was going to college, I voted for the candidates that wanted to increase Pell Grants and provide cheap loans to students. When I was working, I voted for candidates promising tax cuts so that I could take home more money. When I was out of work, I voted for candidates who would extend my unemployment benefits. And finally, when I retired, I voted for candidates that promised never to cut my Social Security and Medicare.
I am to blame. I am you. I am us.
S&P took no stand on revenue increases or spending cuts. They took no stand on defense cuts versus entitlements cuts. They only say that we must get our house in order.
Our country's fiscal problems will not change until we change. And change we must. Everyone must sacrifice. Everyone must give back something they hold near and dear. People with high incomes must pay more taxes. People with low incomes must take lower government subsidies. Retired people must rely more on family and less on Washington.
We, collectively, caused the problem, and we, collectively, must fix this problem. There is no other solution.

"Our country's fiscal problems will not change until we change. And change we must. Everyone must sacrifice. Everyone must give back something they hold near and dear. People with high incomes must pay more taxes. People with low incomes must take lower government subsidies. Retired people must rely more on family and less on Washington."
There's a huge difference between a wealthy person buying a 15 million dollar mansion instead of a 20 million dollar mansion (or, to be less extreme, say from a 1 million dollar home to a 750k one) and a family below the poverty line cutting back on one of the few "extras" or "non-necessities" in their lives… ESPECIALLY given that our current economic arrangement didn't happen by accident.
"We, collectively, caused the problem, and we, collectively, must fix this problem. There is no other solution."
Hardly. That's assuming an equality of power and access among all interested parties and individuals.
That just is not the case in the American system.
I agree with most of the basic idea here, and any sort of a generalized call for citizens to be more involved, informed, and to think outside of our highly individualized interests, but we do NOT function as a collective, and blame can NOT be passed out in equal amounts.
My ideas do not merit as much worth to those in power as those of interest groups or lobbyists with more connection and access.
As such, I refuse to accept an equivalent amount of the blame or responsibility.
Going forward, though… we all need to see how we can move America forward in a more socially responsible manner. We do all have a part to play, even in light of the influence inequities.
Excellent! Basically all states vote for people, no matter how dumb or corrupt they are, based on how much money they can bring back to their state. That is the Achilles heel of our system of government.
OH, OH,OH…..listen little boys…cuz you know the girls aren't coming out to play…."entitlements" are actually collected from your paychecks idiots and then given back to you when you are retire…duh….
Who is to blame? who has the money to buy a politician??? Oil companies and companies in general…
only one in four companies now pay ANY income taxes..duh…
The oil companies get "subsidies"….why???
always they are listed on the top money makers on Forbes…..
and you keep wondering why our AAA rating got downgraded…it's called corruption on the highest levels…because no one cares about our budget…
Why did we invade a country with the second largest oil reserve behind Saudi Arabia and then NOT get reimbursed for freeing their people???
Why? only Bush's buddies on Wall Street and oil compadres can answer that…
At a billiion dollars a week and Iraq makes 10 times that in one week…yet not one dollar to get our budget balanced…and it all started there…..and then I have to read this propaganda article….because stupid people believe their little $5,000 perkins college loan broke our country….OMG…this is laughable…until our country falls because of the corruption…wake up…or don't.

ORCUTT, Calif. — Small-town folks struggling to put up a monument to veterans: It sounds like something straight out of "Mayberry R.F.D.," but for residents of this Central Coast town, it feels more like "Catch-22."
After three years, the privately funded $60,000 monument, which is sponsored by the American Legion and would be placed on a sliver of land owned by the California Department of Transportation, is still unbuilt. The sticking point has been opposition from Caltrans to the monument's use of the American flag and the agency's apparent reluctance to allow the display of words — such as "United States" — on the monument's military emblems.

Welcome To Noble • An American Cookery
NOBLE began its transformation in 2008 when restaurateurs Todd Rodgers and Bruno Pouget decided to bring their partnership into Philadelphia by utilizing the building they owned at 2025 Sansom Street. Designed and built by the partners, NOBLE features first-of-its-kind sidewalk dining with seating facing into the restaurant over a granite counter, a 400-year old naturally-fallen bubinga bar, an artisan-crafted bar back, a grand staircase featuring reclaimed oak barn timbers, exposed ceiling rafters, three beautifully restored skylights, white brick walls, mahogany and bubinga tabletops, hickory hardwood floors and a roof-top garden.
The Menu at NOBLE focuses on simple, fresh, seasonal ingredients, many sourced locally & even in our own Rooftop Garden, to create Modern American Cuisine. Executive Chef Brinn Sinnott honed his skills in the Philadelphia kitchens of The Four Seasons, & LaCroix before taking on the Chef de Cuisine position at Supper where he earned three bells from Craig LaBan, eventually leaving to take on the Chef de Cuisine position at Jose Garces' Amada. Chef Sinnott joined Noble in January 2010, and has already earned critical praise. The Philadelphia Inquirer hailed his arrival as " a new season" at Noble, adding "on recent visits, Chef Sinnott's offerings....seem more in sync with the honesty, warmth & rusticity of the space....Chef Sinnott is a hands-on chef: he bakes the ciabatta bread....trims the lamb saddles....grinds the pork shoulder and pork fat for a robust but subtly spiced house-made chorizo....as gutsy a bar-menu plate as you're likely to find in this town." Noble's seasonal menu is masterfully paired with exclusively North American Wines sourced from boutique vineyards, along with exclusively North American Craft Beers, as well as an Award Winning focus on the time honored tradition of mixing artisanal classic & signature cocktails.

South End Landmark District commissioners appeared torn Wednesday night.
On the one hand, they liked many of the design aspects of the proposed six-story condo building, with first-floor retail, that would replace the Olde Dutch Cottage Candy shop at the corner of Tremont and Dwight Streets. On the other, they questioned whether the "Art Deco" building as a whole would fit in with the "Victorian-era" style of the neighborhood.
"I like it, absolutely," Commissioner John Freeman said of the proposed building's design, "but the question is, 'Are we doing our job?'"
"I'm waffling," he continued, "but it doesn't feel consistent with the [Landmark District], it feels more consistent with Berkeley Street and Back Bay. As much as I like it, I have to argue that side."
Freeman said he doesn't necessarily want a Victorian-era building at that site; he just questioned whether the proposed "Art Deco" style would work.
Commissioner Peter Sanborn echoed Freeman's concerns.
"I think it's an elegant design, a beautiful design," he said at the meeting at Boston City Hall, "but my initial reaction is, 'I think it'd be perfect for Back Bay.'"
Members of the Eight Streets Neighborhood Association voiced similar concerns at a Feb. 1 meeting but ultimately decided "not to oppose" the project.
On Wednesday night, Commissioner Christie Gamp called the building's design, "unusual," – the project's architect, Guy Grassi, agreed – but she also said she thought it worked for the site.
The commissioners were given an overview of the project by Grassi, before asking him, developer Peter Georgantas and marketer Pam Holian questions. The presentation and discussion lasted about 80 minutes.
March 13 Zoning Board of Appeals Meeting
The commission considered the proposal Wednesday under "advisory review," a preliminary session intended for information-gathering purposes only. Assuming the proposal passes the Zoning Board of Appeals on March 13, Georgantas and company will come back before the commission in April for a decision.
The proposed six-story building nears the 70-foot zoned height limit. However, both Freeman and Sanborn said they could envision a taller building going in at such a prominent location.
"I have no trouble with the size of the building, I think it fits" Freeman said. "In fact, I think it could be a little taller, but I understand why you don't want to do that."
Freeman went on to say that a building above the 70-foot limit could have made the approval process more difficult. Grassi agreed.
The current Olde Dutch Cottage Candy building, which would be razed under the proposal, is only one story.
Holian said she canvassed the neighborhood and residents were near unanimous in their support of the project.
"A lot of the comments I got were, 'Thank God it doesn't look like the Atelier,'" she said.
If everything goes as planned, Georgantas has said he would like to break ground on the project this coming June or July. It should take about a year to complete, he said.
Other Facts from Wednesday's Meeting
-- Freeman and Sanborn did raise other design issues with the building, involving the predominance of the Indian limestone instead of brick, the balconies facing Tremont Street and other elements.
-- There are no tenants yet for the two first-floor retail spaces, according to Grassi. "We don't want food service in the building," he also said.
-- In addition to the Zoning Board of Appeals, Georgantas, Grassi and Holian plan to go before the Ellis South End Neighborhood Association.
-- No neighboring residents attended Wednesday's meeting.
-- Commissioners John Amodeo and Catherine Hunt were absent from the meeting.

just not bigger.
What's up with that? I can lift (with good form) as much weight as guys twice my size in the gym, yet my bulk doesnt seem to correlate with my strength levels.
Does it make sense that you won't necessarily get bigger even though you get stronger?
I've always thought one always follow the others.
Any advice, anyone?
Don't eat the yellow snow
i think some of this can be put down to genetics.
I mean you ever see those guys at the gym that are damn strong but no where near as big as you would expect them to be? it may be that your genetics are leaning this way.
However I would also look to your diet. Are you not gaining weight then? What do you weigh? Maybe its time to up the calories, throw in some creatine etc.
also are you training to failure?
I think you are right about size following strenght although a direct correlation is so different accross individuals.

Prepare for a Job Interview: Helpful Tips

A job interview can be very stressful, especially if you are not fully prepared. Here are some tips that can help:
- Get to the interview at least 15 minutes before the scheduled time.
- Dress in business attire unless the interviewer has specified otherwise.
- Never talk negatively about previous work experiences; it can give your prospective employer a bad impression of you.
- Be yourself! Use statements that are comfortable for you when answering questions.
- Find out information about the company you are interviewing with prior to your interview. Visit the company's site and search for articles and press releases written about or by the organization. Also take time to familiarize yourself with the company's competition.
- Silence isn't necessarily a bad thing! Take your time when answering questions.
- Have 3-5 prepared questions for the interviewer. Vist AIE's "Typical Interview Questions" page for examples.
- Don't hesitate to ask the interviewer when they will make a hiring decision.
- Ask for a business card from all interviewers so you have their contact information for thank you notes.
- Always close the interview by expressing thanks and appreciation for their time.
- Send a hand-written thank you note as soon after the interview as possible.
- If you have interviewed with more than one person, each person should receive a thank you note.

The Cambria County Drug Task force has arrested two out-of-town men accused of selling heroin in Johnstown.
The suspects are Justin Turner, 23, of Newport News, Va., who gave a local address as Oakhurst Homes in Johnstown, and Shannon Young, 28, of Bridgeport, Conn., who gave a local address in the 600 block of Coleman Avenue.
The two were arrested after task force officers conducted a controlled buy of heroin on Monday, District Attorney Kelly Callihan said.
The task force seized 50 bags of heroin with a street value of $1,000 during the arrest, Callihan said.
"This arrest illustrates the ongoing probe of out-of-town drug dealers establishing residence in Cambria County for the sole purpose of distributing drugs in our area," she said.
Turner and Young were arraigned before District Judge Rick Varner in Sidman. They were lodged in the county prison in lieu of $50,000 each on felony drug charges, including delivery of heroin and criminal conspiracy.
More arrests are expected, Callihan said.
"We find (out-of-town dealers) are coming in and bouncing from location to location, which makes the task force's job difficult to catch them," Callihan said.
Johnstown police and agents from the FBI and the state Attorney General's Office assisted in the investigation.

Lee 1 was purchased by a California movie studio in 1978, soon to become "The most famous television car in the world." Lee 1 was featured several times in the first episode of CBS' hit television series "The Dukes of Hazzard." This episode titled "One-Armed Bandits," aired on January 26, 1979 and was filmed in the Covington, Conyers and Oxford area of Georgia. The show's opening sequence, featuring Bo and Luke Duke, included the clip of Lee1 jumping over a Hazzard County police cruiser. That jump, for which Lee 1 is most famous, was made by a stunt man on the campus of Oxford College on Saturday 11, 1978. Lee 1?s first and only jump was 16 feet up and over the cruiser, landing 82 feet from the take off ramp. The only cast member that ever drove Lee 1 was John Schneider, who played Bo Duke. After 23 years in a junkyard, in Metro Atlanta, Lee 1 was rescued and professionally, passionately restored to pre-jump condition over a 16 month period. Lee 1 is truly an American Icon.

Chuck discusses the first five of ten questions we need to ask to determine which of the current presidential candidates should represent us.
Ten Questions to Find Our Next President (Part 1)
by Chuck Norris | Newsbusters
…I believe the name of the candidate that fills the majority of the answers in the following 10 questions (in no particular order of importance) deserves your vote.
Based upon the GOP candidates' character and track records:
10) Who is most committed to follow and lead by the U.S. Constitution?
Strictly following the Constitution includes restoring the 10th Amendment balance of power to our states and shifting solutions away from an "only government" savior (to which Obama committed early in his presidency) to encouraging local communities, agencies and neighborhoods across our nation to rally together, strategize and resurrect the golden rule in caring for their own, just as it was done in America's heyday.
9) Who has the greatest ability to rally, unify and mobilize citizens across political and societal spectrums?
More than ever, we need a new president who has a proven track record to rally a team of Washington rivals, as well as a diversified American public and world. As I've written extensively in a previous article, I firmly believe that the candidate who extends a public invitation to all his GOP rivals to be a part of the same administration (to fight together) could start a chain reaction leading to his nomination and election.
Who has the best working comprehension of America?
I believe a mastery of American history and politics is a must for any president, for it is a record of how others have led the country since its founding. The degree to which one comprehends America's ebbs and flows parallels one's proficiency to lead. As the adage goes, if one doesn't know history, he is doomed to repeat its mistakes.
7) Who has the best ability to influence a volatile world away from the brink of destruction?
Now is not the time for a political novice, wimp or sheepish patriot in the Oval Office. More than ever, we need a profoundly wise person like Thomas Jefferson, who moved along a flailing new republic while maneuvering a war with Tripoli, or like Ronald Reagan, who was savvy and tough enough to build up the economy while toppling the Soviet Union and the Berlin Wall.
6) Who has clear and present moral fortitude?
Temptations are abundant when power is combined with position, and none is greater than the presidency. That is why it is mandatory that the next occupant of the White House demonstrate a life mastery over himself and the wiles of evil and corruption.
That doesn't mean the next president must be perfect, but he must be a moral model and have the ability to admit faults and learn from mistakes.

Watching television coverage of the Republican caucuses in Iowa, I noticed that nearly everybody was white: white people smiling over coffee, white people applauding at candidate forums, white people singing praise songs at church. True, Iowa has so few blacks that it would probably take a hawk's eye to spot one. But the GOP caucuses could have been held in any state, and the crowd would look the same.
Which made me wonder: In a country as large and diverse as ours, how is it that one of the two major political parties has become, in essence, a white people's party?
Polls frequently note the overwhelming whiteness of the GOP, but they never quite explain it.
Why is a local columnist writing about the Iowa caucuses? I believe that racial demographics will play a crucial role in the presidential election and that the issue knows no geographical bounds. Read on.
The Pew Research Center did a poll last year that found: "While Republican gains inleaned party identification span nearly all subgroups of whites, they are particularly pronounced among the young and poor." Another poll found that non-college-educated whites are flocking to the GOP.
But a Gallup poll found that Americans are more likely to blame Republicans than Democrats for the economic crisis, with its high unemployment and rising poverty. It makes no sense to me that the young and poor and working-class would "lean" toward the Republican Party, let along become a member of it. So what is it about being "white" that makes somebody do it?
New evidence suggests there's a reason why this economic "recovery" hasn't felt much like a recovery. Figures from the Census Bureau's Current Population Survey, compiled by Sentier Research, show that the "recovery" has actually been harder on most Americans than the recession from which they've allegedly been recovering.
According to Sentier's report, the median American household income has actually fallen during the "recovery." Not only that, but it has fallen even morethan it did during the recession. Gordon Green, former chief of the Governments Division at the U.S. Census Bureau and co-author of the report (with fellow Census veteran John Coder), says, "Real income fell by 3.2 percent during [the recession]. And during the recovery it went down by 6.7 percent." So "income [has] declined twice as much in the recovery as in the recession itself."
Mexico's Grand Warlock predicted US President Barack Obama would fail to win re-election and two more Latin American leaders would be diagnosed with cancer, in a traditional New Year's forecast Tuesday.
The Grand Warlock, or "Brujo Mayor" in Spanish, leads a Mexican tradition of "brujeria" or sorcery centered in the southeastern city of Catemaco.
The Grand Warlock, also known as Antonio Vazquez, said that Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, who claims to have beaten an unspecified cancer, would have a "terrible relapse."
Argentina's President Cristina Kirchner, Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff, former Brazilian leader Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva and Paraguay's Fernando Lugo have been diagnosed with cancer in recent years.
Chavez suggested last month that the spate of cancer among leftist leaders could be a US plot.
Mitt Wins Iowa Caucus by 8 Votes
(Des Moines Register) — Rivals Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum waged a down-to-the-wire battle for the Iowa Republican caucuses Tuesday, but shortly after 1:30 a.m. today, Romney was declared the victor by eight votes.
Romney won 30,015 votes, compared with 30,007 for Santorum, out of 122,255 cast.
Each of the men won 25 percent of the vote and proclaimed victory.
Ron Paul was third, followed by Newt Gingrich, Rick Perry, Michele Bachmann and Jon Huntsman.
Romney's campaign strategists had carefully staged expectations to persuade the public and media that the former Massachusetts governor could emerge strongly from Iowa with a close second- or third-place finish.
He campaigned here about a fourth as much as during his first presidential bid four years ago, when he finished second in Iowa. But Romney managed to capture the top prize anyway.
His victory capped one of the most tumultuous presidential caucus campaigns that Iowa has witnessed.
In early August, Bachmann, a Minnesota congressman, triumphed in the Iowa straw poll and seemed a likely caucus-night victor. Or perhaps Paul, a Texas congressman, who finished a respect-denying 152 votes behind her in Ames.
By early September, Perry, the Texas governor, was the star of the 2012 race.
By early October, Herman Cain, a retired pizza chain chief was the front-runner in Iowa polling.
By early December, Gingrich, a former U.S. House Speaker, was king.
But the caucuses were in early January.
Promising polling injected Santorum's campaign with late-in-the-campaign adrenaline. But it was Romney, the leader in The Des Moines Register's June Iowa Poll, whom caucusgoers returned to Tuesday night.
