MORE
Jun. 28, 2013
Some say rebuilt sea wall caused drastic erosion of sand at Ditch Plains, beach on Montauk Peninsula on Long Island, while others say Hurricane Sandy did the damage; Ditch Plains often suffers some erosion in off-season from hurricanes and winter storms; beach is usually restored naturally by summer but that did not happen this year. MORE
Apr. 18, 2013
Owners of expensive homes on Southampton, NY, beaches are building barriers to hold back ocean in wake of Hurricane Sandy; situation is touching off bitter disputes over environment, real estate and class; some local officials worry that billionaire owners are engaging in arms race with nature, and that barricades could rapidly hasten erosion--essentially sacrificing public beaches to save private homes.

(CBS News) Two hundred of the most extreme athletes are bringing their bikes and their boards to the XGames in Los Angeles this weekend. Eleven-year-old Jagger Eaton, the competition's youngest athlete, will make X Games history just by showing up.
"I came here last year, and I thought I'd probably never be in the X Games," Jagger said. "And I'm standing here competing with some of the greatest guys in the world of skate boarding and I just, it's crazy! "
It's crazy because the other guys are his skateboarding idols and on average more than twice his age.
Jagger said he "definitely" wants to beat them, "but I don't think I will 'cause they're all amazing skateboarders."
He takes on one of skateboarding's biggest and steepest stages Thursday, competing in the mega ramp big air contest. He jumps over a 55 foot gap into a 27 foot tall quarter-pipe. Jagger is just five feet tall and weighs 76 pounds, so the 70 foot drop is 14 times bigger than he is.
Jagger may be one of the best young skaters in the country but he's still a kid. He says the first time he got up on one of those ramps, he looked over it and said, no way.
"Before we even jumped the gap we were all, dude, I don't even want to go up this elevator."
He quickly conquered that fear. After all, he's been skating almost since he could walk. His parents run a skate park back home in Mesa, Ariz. where both his older brother Jet and his four-year-old brother Koston also skate.
Geoff Eaton is part dad, part coach. "Of course I have the regular, you know, mom/dad nerves that you get while your child is participating in any kind of sport," he said. "but, I'm really confident in his riding ability. And so as long as I don't go up to the top and look down, you know, I'm okay."
Jagger said he's sick of people asking him if he has "Moves like Jagger," like the song says. "Because there's these girls at home who always say, Jagger got swagger, and it's so annoying! It's like, it's like that - but times two."

Barack Obama and the Facebook Election
The president-elect was far ahead online, Matthew Fraser and Soumitra Dutta write.
The presidential election of 2008 will go down in history for an obvious symbolic reason that will inspire future generations. Yet while pundits were focused on Barack Obama's race, another largely overlooked factor in his success was his powerful techno-demographic appeal.
We know that Obama's landmark victory was due, in part, to a groundswell of support among young Americans. Early in his campaign, political pollsters were observing that Obama was "rocking the youth vote." This proved true: Exit polls revealed that Obama had won nearly 70 percent of the vote among Americans under age 25—the highest percentage since U.S. exit polling began in 1976.
Obama enjoyed a groundswell of support among, for lack of a better term, the Facebook generation. He will be the first occupant of the White House to have won a presidential election on the Web.
This election was the first in which all candidates—presidential and congressional—attempted to connect directly with American voters via online social networking sites like Facebook and MySpace. It has even been called the "Facebook election." It is no coincidence that one of Obama's key strategists was 24-year-old Chris Hughes, a Facebook cofounder. It was Hughes who masterminded the Obama campaign's highly effective Web blitzkrieg—everything from social networking sites to podcasting and mobile messaging.
Facebook was not unaware of its suddenly powerful role in American electoral politics. During the presidential campaign, the site launched its own forum to encourage online debates about issues. Facebook also teamed up with ABC for election coverage and political forums. And CNN teamed up with YouTube to hold presidential debates.
Obama's masterful leveraging of Web 2.0 platforms marks a major E-ruption in electoral politics—in America and elsewhere—as campaigning shifts from old-style political machines toward the horizontal dynamics of online social networks. The Web, a perfect medium for genuine grass-roots political movements, is transforming the power dynamics of politics. There are no barriers to entry on sites like Facebook and YouTube. Power is diffused because everybody can participate. The Web is being leveraged not only for vote-getting but—as the Obama campaign demonstrated—for grass-roots fundraising, too. The Web can be a formidable electoral money-pump.
According to a survey by the Pew Research Center, nearly half— 46 percent—of Americans used the Web, E-mail, or text messaging for news about the presidential campaign, to contribute to the debate, or to mobilize others. Some 35 percent of Americans said they'd watched online political videos—three times as many as during the 2004 presidential election. And roughly 10 percent said they'd logged on to social networking sites like Facebook and MySpace to engage in the election.
Obama, who was often seen thumbing messages on his BlackBerry during the campaign, is a new-generation politician who shrewdly understands the electoral power of the Web. Pulling out all the Web 2.0 stops, the Obama campaign used not only Facebook and YouTube but also MySpace, Twitter, Flickr, Digg, BlackPlanet, LinkedIn, AsianAve, MiGente, Glee, and others.
Obama was by a long stretch the most effective online politician during the presidential campaign—not only against John McCain but also against his Democratic rival Hillary Clinton. For the past two years, Facebook has overwhelmingly been pro-Obama virtual territory. Some have attributed Obama's victory to a "Facebook effect."
Obama is a natural Facebook politician. On his personal Facebook profile—which featured his "Our Moment Is Now" motto—Obama named his favorite musicians as Miles Davis, Stevie Wonder, and Bob Dylan and listed his pastimes as basketball, writing, and "loafing w/kids" (note the hip shorthand aimed at appealing to young voters). The 72-year-old John McCain, by contrast, never managed to connect on Facebook. He gave one of his pastimes as "fishing" and listed Letters F rom Iwo Jima among his favorite movies. McCain even got "punked" by a Facebook prankster who posted a phony policy announcement right on McCain's online profile: "Dear supporters, today I announce that I have reversed my position and come out in full support of gay marriage ... particularly marriage between two passionate females."

Hoosier vets should share their stories
Hoosiers have a long and proud history of serving our nation in times of war, and it is vitally important that we learn from the experiences of veterans. That is why I am proud to support the Veterans History Project through the Library of Congress. This is a wonderful opportunity for family members of veterans, fellow veterans, or young people to interview a veteran of World War II, the Korean, Vietnam, or Persian Gulf wars, or the most recent wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
These histories are compiled through audio or video-recorded interviews, in addition to gathering original correspondence, photographs, and diaries. I have interviewed several Indiana veterans for this project in the past, so I can attest that it is a very rewarding experience to hear firsthand the tales of bravery and challenges faced while serving our country.
I encourage all Hoosier veterans to share their stories for this important archive. For more information on how to submit your story or to learn about how to interview a veteran in your community, visit www.loc.gov/vets or call my office at 317-226-5555.
It is an honor to serve the thousands of veterans and all Hoosiers in the U.S. Senate.
— Sen. Joe Donnelly
Consider their words vs. actions
It warms my heart to know that the Obama administration won't blow us away with a drone missile; that they recognize that there are a few things that the government cannot do to us.
Of course, they still reserve the right to shoot us as they did Randy Weaver's wife.
I haven't forgotten.

Hysteria over spending cuts
As I watch our president go from fear-mongering to histrionics over a 2 percent cut in the rise in spending, not actual spending, I think about where I have lost so much more during his reign.
Illinois income taxes raised 67 percent along with increases in fees of any kind they could (and the state is still the worst in the nation for debt). Gas prices have raised 100 percent from $2 a gallon to nearly $4 a gallon. My energy prices: electricity rates are flying up, with the coal restrictions the main cause, although fracking has subdued it slightly through natural gas available from private lands (not federal).
Overall, I have seen a 40 percent increase in energy cost not including gasoline. Healthcare premiums have doubled as companies prepare and try to implement all the bureaucratic nonsense and government regulations included in Obamacare. So much for that promise, or should I say the basis for that liberal power grab.
If you recall, that was the original premise, controlling costs, not universal healthcare for all. Food costs are rapidly rising, often masked by smaller portions. Have you noticed the concave bottoms on your jars of food, or the big bags half full of contents. This is manufacturers artificially keeping the price down by giving you less material. Overall, an increase of at least 25 percent in food bills. These are just a few of the ways we, the middle class, have had to absorb our cuts, so pardon me if I do not take seriously our chicken little in charge as he complains and whines about the doom and gloom of sequester.
A 2 percent decrease in the expected increase of $15 billion dollars does not seem like a crisis to me. I am sure the Obama administration will do all it can to make it painful to the American people by refusing to cut the billions in bloated government where no one would see it like perhaps the USDA manure management division rather than meat inspectors, but we all know "You never let a serious crisis go to waste", that is their motto. In this case the crisis is one manufactured by one Barack Hussein Obama. No wonder he is out campaigning to blame the1⁄2 of1⁄3 of the U.S. government controlled by Republicans. All I see is a fraud, looking to blame others for a plan he suggested, implemented and signed into law, even threatening the congressional Republicans with a veto if they tried to change it in 2011.
Hysterical hypocrite.

New approach to public schools
In the Flashpoint essay by Rev. Paul McGlasson printed recently in the Tribune-Star, he criticized others in Sullivan for not acting the way he thought they should. He made a fool of himself on Ash Wednesday. I thought of Benjamin Franklin's rhyme about fools and public places.
I want to praise the people of Sullivan for being honest about what they think and feel. The rights of children; the rights — as well as the responsibilities — of educators and school authorities; and the rights of parents are in extreme conflict pretty often these days. It's easy to say nothing and do nothing but the parents in Sullivan have the love and courage to speak up for themselves.
While the majorities bullied the minorities in the past, it is now the special interest groups that are winning. The result is the same. We still have winners and losers.
The price of fuel for buses alone could be the end of public schools as they are currently functioning. A recent newspaper article said the government wants to pull back on school vouchers. But even if there were no vouchers at all parents are motivated to get their children to safe schools. The public school is the focus of our local paper almost every other day. We now need armed police guards in our schools, and we have decided to decrease vouchers to keep more children in our schools which, by the way, are politically correct and financially in crisis due to the cost of fuel and inflation.
One solution may be for parents to remove their child from school and find another education provider. A solution may be to change our buses to run on natural gas. A solution may be to teach kids online and reduce school attendance to three days per week. A solution may be to raise taxes even higher.
My suggestion is to have school buildings used as a gathering place for people to get help with problems. The buildings could be utilized in the evenings and on weekends by adults needing help with a variety of problems.
For example, a person who could not pay their rent may be able to get advice if not financial assistance from an adviser with an office at the school.
Another example would be a person who cannot get a renter to pay rent could get advice from an adviser with an office in the school.
I suggest a complete new paradigm. During the years President Bush was in office we had "No Child Left Behind." It was a disaster. Now we are all just trying to survive the years of President Obama because the economy is so bad.
— Cliff McDaniel
Another attack on labor unions
A recent questionnaire and news article in the Tribune-Star sparked me to write this letter.
The questionnaire from a local Republican representative asked what I thought about automatic deductions of union dues. My answer to him was that not only should this not be a high priority, but that all it was is another Republican, pro-business-lobbyist way of breaking unions.
It seems funny in the article in the newspaper that said Gov. Pence and the Chamber of Commerce were for the new bill outlawing these deductions. These deductions first of all aren't just for political purposes, it is used to protect the rights of the teacher's union from wrongful termination, good wages, insurance along with many other things. Political lobbying is needed because of bill's like this one, along with others such as right-to-work, which was voted in because of pressure from outside lobbying groups, the Chamber of Commerce and other political groups that wanted these bills passed.
If you ask any teacher or union member, they, as I do (a 26-year union laborer), gladly pay dues for representation. In the article, Rep. Jeff Thompson says that deducting union dues from paychecks is equivalent to lawmakers raising political donations using the statehouse phones. What a joke. The only reason union dues on anything to do with union money is being used for politics is our representatives are bringing up bills that were influenced by outside lobbyists and the Chamber of Commerce.
So let me get this straight. It's OK for lobbyists from the Chamber of Commerce and outside money to influence political campaigns with lies about how well right-to-work is doing in other states, but not for unions?
We need jobs, not bills that take away our rights. It is time for the ACLU and my union and others to take this to court. This is a violation of our rights to organize, period. Even nonunion citizens should be outraged that the Republicans are taking away our right to be represented while representing corporations, outside lobbyists and the Chamber of Commerce, etc.
It's time for political reform, not influence by out-of-state lobbyists. Who brought this bill to the forefront instead of tackling the real issues confronting our state and nation?

Condemning Muslim racism
It's time Khwaja Hasan condemned the repugnant racism and brutality perpetrated by myriad Muslims. For all his assurances that Islam is a religion of peace, an alarming number of Muslims manifest a degree of bigotry and violence that's difficult to comprehend.
For example, there was the gruesome episode in Texas concerning the "honor killings" carried out by a Muslim father against his two teenage daughters. What were the daughters' transgressions that led to their being murdered by their own father? It seems they had the temerity to date Hispanic lads.
When a reporter attempted to speak to the brother of the murderous father, he spat: "Get off my property you motherf@$king Jew." It so happens the reporter is Irish, but the brothers probably view any non-Muslim as a "motherf@$%ing Jew."
Family values, anyone?
Nor should we conclude that this tragedy was an aberration. In some areas of the Islamic world "honor killing" enjoys widespread acceptance. Fortunately, there is no equivalent for such systematic barbarity in today's Judeo-Christian world.
It's telling that one encounters little criticism from the media regarding Muslim bigotry. Yet this newspaper was quick to pounce on some misguided Christians in Sullivan for what it perceived as their "bigotry" toward gays. It's instructive to note that at least seven Islamic countries have the death penalty on their books for homosexuality. Yet I don't recall this newspaper editorializing about Islamic bigotry. Perhaps I was out of town that week.
One hears much about "moderate Muslims" these days. Estimates reveal that about half of U.S. Muslims are quietly appreciative of constitutionally guaranteed individual rights. While encouraging, it's a pity that America's Muslims don't demonstrate their appreciation by taking a (public) stand regarding said rights. Still, despite such estimates a great number of Muslims appear to be the most bellicose, riotous and easily offended people on earth.
Danish cartoons, anyone?
But let's step back from religion and consider some unsavory secular groups. Even the worst KKK types don't endorse "honor killing." Nor do they stoop to the cowardly practice of using their children as suicide bombers.
Again, don't look to the media to condemn this malignant barbarism that is metastasizing before our eyes. Instead, they will offer "root causes" in their feeble attempts to gloss over Muslim malevolence. It's easier (and safer) to focus on ancillary problems than to condemn genuine threats to Western civilization.
The inconvenient truth for Muslim apologists is that the U.S. is forced to spend an inordinate amount of time, money and resources protecting Americans from Muslim extremists. Not Christian extremists. Not Hindu extremists. Not Jewish extremists. But (Muslim) extremists.
Compared to other religions, the Islamic world contains an inordinate number of zealots who detest America. One thinks of the Muslim throngs that took to the streets to celebrate the carnage occasioned by the horrific events of Sept. 11, 2001. (The videos can be viewed via the Internet.) A poll conducted in 2005 by the Fafo Foundation, in the Palestinian Authority, found that 65 percent of respondents supported the 9/11 attacks.
But it's the misogynist component of Islamic culture that is perhaps the most repugnant. Last year, the Arab news agency Ma'an reported that Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas has no plans to amend laws that reduce sentences for suspects who claim an "honor" defense for murdering women, according to his legal adviser Hassan al-Ouri.
"Why change it? This would cause serious problems," al-Ouri told Ma'an, adding that such a reform would "not benefit women."
Get it? Laws protecting women, allowing them to live "would not benefit women."
Women's rights, anyone?
The question arises: Do most Muslims view Mr. al-Ouri's position as abhorrent? If so, then where are the millions of Muslim protestors?
Feminist outrage, anyone?
When confronted with such egregious examples of Islamic bigotry, Muslim apologists resort to risible comparisons with the KKK. (Seriously, that's the best they can do.)
At the risk of stating the obvious: Western civilization is not threatened by a small group of crackers who get their jollies by holding clandestine meetings while hiding behind white linen. The same cannot be said of Muslim extremists who have committed mass murder on American soil and seek to do so again.

East side church need not close
Is Holy Rosary Church in Seelyville closed? No.
The Terre Haute Catholic Deanery and the Archdiocese of Indianapolis plan to close Holy Rosary Church. Roman Catholic Canon Law lists two reasons for the closing of a church; There has been no Mass held in the church in 100 years, or the building is in disrepair.
We have had no trouble paying our bills. A few years ago we raised money ourselves and had a new roof put on the church and rectory, costing $38,000. Our parish worked and saved through fundraisers and collections. The work was paid in full. No loans. Seven to eight years ago we had all the interior of the church redone. Walls and ceiling were completely replastered and new carpet laid. The cost was over $10,000. Again, paid in full.
The outside of our church building and rectory were power washed by parishioners at no cost to the church. Labor and equipment were volunteered.
Is Holy Rosary Church closed? No.
When our parishioners heard that we were going to be one of the four churches in the Deanery to be closed, we joined together to fight for our little church. The process would be costly in money and time. In about six months we raised $12,000 in part to pay for a Vatican lawyer to represent us in the appeal. This does not sound like a group that has poor leadership and one that is unable to maintain itself (some of the reasons given by the archdiocese for closing Holy Rosary Church).
It takes many parishioners to keep all this together (we were told we didn't have enough in numbers). Even though we see new construction on the east side of town, new churches, businesses, homes and apartments, Indianapolis says the east side is declining in population. Maybe someone from Indianapolis should speak with the city planning committee.
We have always been in the black financially. Maybe that's another reason we are being chosen for closure. So the sale of our church and church properties (recently refurbished and in the black) can be sold for someone else's profit. Not ours.
Is Holy Rosary Church closed? No.
Our church services were stopped in October 2012. Annunciation Church in Brazil has been in charge of our property while we await the decision of our appeal to Rome.
Put yourselves in our position. How would you feel if the church you had worshipped in, celebrated in and grieved in was to close for no good reason. Is there a good reason to close a place of worship? Especially in recent times and events? Even though Holy Rosary is a small church, we have just as much to offer our parishioners and guests as any of the larger churches. Maybe more.
Are we closed? No.

Career pols not only problem
After reading William P. Thiel's letter on Feb. 26, 2013, I found myself agreeing with him, on some points. Bill's main point was about career politicians who stay too long, become "corrupt" and put their financial worth ahead of anything else. I have long advocated for term limits on Congress, but unless the country as a whole demands it, it will never happen.
I could not help but notice that Bill only listed Democrat career politicians. I assume then that protecting the wealthy, and taking money from big business, and special interest groups like Citizens United, allows the GOP congressmen to "retire early."
Bill reminded us that the approval rating of Congress was 9 percent, and the Senate is the reason for that. Bill may have voted since he was 21, but he's not paying attention or he's overlooking why Congress has a 9 percent rating, and it's not due to the Senate. Their approval rating began to drop when the GOP-controlled House signed an oath in blood to obstruct, filibuster or vote no on any and all bills that would give Obama credit or ask the wealthy to pay their fair share.
Career politicians are a problem, but the real problem is a political party controlled by right-wing extremists, and their rule is, obey orders or get booted out in the next primary, by your own party. Thanks to GOP gerrymandering, there's no reason not to obey orders because you can't be voted out by the Democrats and Independents.
Let me close by extending kudos and thanks to Glendon Campbell for stating a fact we all need to remember. The president doesn't "hold the checkbook and spend money as he sees fit." Congress has to approve all spending, so keep that in mind when the GOP holds the country hostage again, over the debt ceiling that they approved of.

Disturbing trend in Washington
Well, Feb. 28 arrived and our do-nothing Congress was on a weekend break. The threats of the automatic cuts now kick into effect. The meat inspectors will be shut down, the air traffic controller jobs cut back or gone, and many more cuts in the news.
They let Homeland Security free a bunch of illegals because it cost to keep them in jail. Wonder if the cost of sending them back home was too much also. Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid are still on the chopping block. Those in the Eisenhower era took the SSI funds and used some of it to build our interstate highways. Now, when it comes time to pay the people who had no choice but to pay the tax, it is called an entitlement.
This battle of the two political parties is hurting everyone. Who wins, and what do they win? I hope the prize is an early retirement and jobs for others to take over. Why isn't air traffic control paid by the airlines who need them for the safety of their planes and passengers. Why should the taxpayers who don't fly foot the bill?
CBS news just reported that John Kerry announced that we were giving $60 million to a Mideast country. I hate to see us give money and weapons to countries that really don't like us, while creating havoc at home with all the cuts and politics. Does anyone see a trend here, or is it just me?

Rain: A Tribute to the Beatles on Broadway has recouped its initial $2 million investment in just seven weeks at the Neil Simon Theater. The show, which presents the history of the Beatles as a concert revue, has clearly connected with an audience hungry for reverent live performances of the band's classic hits — despite being dismissed by some critics as glorified karaoke.

Though Rain's run on Broadway is presently open-ended, the production will close at the Neil Simon Theater on January 15 and reopen at the slightly smaller Brooks Atkinson Theater on February 8. The change of venue will make room at the Neil Simon for the new musical Catch Me If You Can, an adaptation of the film by Steven Spielberg.

Cpl. Dan Hahn of the suffered life-threatening injuries while pursuing a suspect on Feb. 14.
A crew from quickly arrived at the scene, providing oxygen and starting IVs before a LifeFlight helicopter arrived to take Hahn to Allegheny General Hospital on Pittsburgh's North Side, hospital spokeswoman Stephanie Waite said in a statement.
Tonight, Hahn, who is , and the EMS workers will be honored at Pittsburgh's PNC Park prior to the 7 p.m. Pirates-Milwakee Brewers game as part of West Penn Allegheny Health System and the Pirates "Great Saves" program.
Jay Grinnell, director of Harmony EMS, said three paramedics and one emergency medical technician will be recognized at the event.
"They did a great job," he said.
Waite said the Harmony crew took extraordinary care to immobilize Hahn's spine, a crucial step because he had sustained multiple spinal fractures that if handled improperly could have resulted in paralysis. Hahn spent nearly three weeks at AGH, most of that time on a ventilator in the intensive care unit, followed by three weeks at Healthsouth Harmarville.
"The crew followed protocol exactly and did as they were trained, which is why we have a good outcome," Grinnell said.
Hahn said he was pleased the EMS workers would honored at the game.
"I'm just excited about being part of recognizing them for saving my life," he said. "That night, I could have been a quadriplegic, a paraplegic, or worse."
Waite said great saves happen every day throughout the Pittsburgh region as EMS professionals and other first response teams save lives by delivering prompt, expert care.
These "Great Saves" have been highlighted at Pirates' games for the past two years, saluting local first responders at Pirates games and reuniting them with the patients they helped save, Waite said.

FULTON, Ill. —
City officials are preparing to position the community for growth and economic development as the federal prison near Thomson, Ill., comes to fruition.
Aldermen approved an economic development consulting agreement with Terry Rumery of Rumery & Associates to measure the growth for the community as the new facility opens.
"Something like this puts us in a better position," City Administrator Randy Balk said. "You want to be as prepared as possible for an opportunity like this."
The goal of the assessment is to determine how the city is situated to best position itself for the opening of the prison in Thomson. City officials agreed to pay the company $1,500 when the agreement was made effective Jan. 22 and $2,000 upon completion for a total of $3,500.
Located out of Chillicothe, Mo., Rumery has firsthand experience living in an area that already has a federal prison. He also has a proven track record in similar prospects through his work at the Governor's office and previous experience working with smaller communities, like Fulton, experiencing economic growth, according to Balk.
"We're hoping this assessment gives our businesses more assurance and keeps us on track," Balk said. "This will give us the momentum we need to move forward."
Rumery will present the results of the assessment at a special meeting at 5:30 p.m. Wednesday at City Hall.

Glasgow Daily Times
As with many others, Butterflies for Maddie was a family affair for the Jhambs, with three adults running the in 5k and a child who participated in the kids' fun run.
But it was Nitin Jhamb who led the pack – and not just within his family.
He hit the finish line 17 minutes and 5 seconds after the race began -- 91 seconds before anyone else.
Jhamb said the race didn't start off as well as he would have liked.
"That first mile was all over the place," he said as he his breathing was returning to normal.
The 32-year-old member of the Bowling Green Road Runners said he used to run at Greenwood High School and then at Vanderbilt University, but he took time off from it after college and has only been in one race since the – a half marathon last month.
"I hadn't run a 5k in eight years, so I was happy with it," Jhamb said. "It was fun. The weather turned out a lot nicer than it led up to be."
He added that his training had been a little bittersweet.
"I had Boston on my heart the whole week leading up to this," he said. "I felt very relieved there was some closure to that."
He was referring to two bomb explosions near the end of the Boston Marathon finish line on the prior Monday that killed three people and injured more than 100 others. Just the previous evening, the second of a pair of brothers suspected in the bombings was arrested. The other had died the night before that in a gun fire exchange with law enforcement officers.
Nitin Jhamb's been getting back in shape, "with this guy's help," he said of David Haynes, 37, who had won the Butterflies for Maddie race the past two years and is a board member of the B.G. Road Runners, but was in third place Saturday at 18:45.
"I never miss this race. I know Sherri. It's a very good cause," Haynes said, referring to the race director, Sherri Vibbert.
The event is a fundraiser for the Butterflies for Maddie Foundation formed in 2006 to raise awareness and help fund education and research for pulmonary veno occlusive disease, which took the life of Madilyn Grace Morgan, who died in 2005 at age 6.
Jason Schwab was second in the race at 18:36.
Karen McGuffey was the first female to finish. Her time was 21:51.
The Traveling Trophy, which goes to the school with the most participation among faculty and staff, was awarded to Eastern Elementary School.
As Glasgow Run Club members Chris Witt, Pam Goad of Glasgow, and Judd Shaw of Summer Shade gathered near the starting line, they said that several in their club were having inaugural runs that day as part of the Couch to 5k initiative, and it was Goad's and Shaw's first time and Witt's second at the Butterflies race.
"We try to do about all the local ones," Shaw said. "This one's kind of gotten to be special, because we know the people involved."
He's been running since early last year, but didn't his first race wasn't until the fall.
Witt started running because he was about 40 pounds overweight and wanted a change, but that wasn't his only motivation for participating Saturday.
"It's near and dear to me because I have a son who had cancer," he said, adding that his son is alive and better now. "This gives me a way to honor them both."
Goad, who finished at 27:44, said the race was for great cause, with a lot of fun and friends, but she was also thinking partly of Boston.
"When I got tired, I just thought of them," she said.
A friend of theirs, Matt Reynolds of Glasgow, was with them after the race. He came "for the cause and for the Glasgow Run Club and because of his awesome friends."
He finished at 21:22, and his previous best time was 22:48, he said.
Those personal best times seemed to be going around, as Witt finished at 24:22, his best time, andn Shaw finished at 22:38.
"This was a personal record. It's the fastest I've ever run," Shaw said.
Tom Wimsatt of Bowling Green let out an audible, "Yes!" as he came across the finish line and was glancing at the official clock that read 29:57.
"My last race was 30 minutes and I wanted to make sure it wasn't a fluke," he explained a few moments later.
Before that, it had been 31:06, but he's gotten new shoes done a lot of speed training and was thrilled at the results.
Wimsatt has been running since May 2011 and had lost 106 pounds, although he said he put a bit of that back on in muscle.
"It's been one crazy journey so far. I don't know where it's going, but I like it," he said.
He said he really enjoyed the Butterflies for Maddie race and the overall atmosphere.
"It's positive; it's upbeat. Gotta love that," he said.

"The Bible" a Labor of Love for Famed Producer, Wife
The five-week, 10-hour TV special was nurtured by "Touched by an Angel" star Roma Downey and husband Mark Burnett. He's the force behind such major TV successes as Survivor and The Voice. They say it has already changed lives.
BY: Rob Kerby, Senior Editor
asked the same question maybe a year ago on the wrong day, when we were exhausted and we were thinking 'Oh, wow, this is so tough–'"
"It was a little bit like carrying a baby," interjects Downey. "I think after the point of delivery, most women forget how uncomfortable their pregnancies were and so, here we are on the eve of delivery and we are just so grateful for the experience of making this series together, co-producing as a husband and wife team.
"It really deepened our friendship and strengthened our marriage.
"You know," she says with a smile, "there were moments during it I'm sure where we felt we might never speak to each other again. It was highly pressured and very hard work. It was hard to be gone from home for so long. We were in Morocco from February to July, but we felt called to do this."
"We shot in Morocco," says Mark, "because our hope was to achieve an epic, big scale, quality production that would present the grand narrative of the Bible while at the same time allow opportunities for intimate storytelling – so that we could really make the emotional connection with our audience."
"We know as movie makers that this sort of storytelling begins in the heart," says Roma. "When your heart opens up, that's the opportunity for grace to move in."
This series is far more than just entertainment, say the couple.
"I believe that people will be able to go back to the Scripture with these images in their minds and be able to engage God's Word in a whole new and exciting way," says Downey.
Wasn't telling Bible stories an abrupt change of direction for Burnett? Is it a recent thing that he would tackle a project focusing on the Holy Scriptures?
"This project certainly deepened my faith immensely," he says. "I mean, anybody who spends three and a half years working on telling the story of the Bible cannot help but be touched."
But a personal faith isn't something new to him, he says. "I grew up in a wonderful home with a Scottish Presbyterian mother and a Scottish Catholic father. It wasn't until I was in my 20s probably in America that I realized there is a difference between Catholics and Protestants.
"That was a great way to grow up – with tolerance for each other."
Given his success with reality TV, wasn't this a major challenge professionally?
"Oh, yes," he chuckles. "I mean it was my first time working with actors so closely."
It was also his first time directing his wife.
"I didn't go over to Morocco with the intention of playing any part," recalls Downey. "We ended up you know, trying to cast the role

Cambridge, Mass. - September 27, 2008 - The Springfield College women's volleyball team split a pair of games against some of the top competition in the region on Saturday afternoon in the second day of the MIT Invitational.
Overall, the Pride finished third in the tourney with a 3-1 record. Tufts won the tourney, while Connecticut College finished second. Springfield is now 13-2 on the season.
The Pride fell in four games to Tufts in its first match of the day, dropping a 25-23, 17-25, 25-18, 25-12 decision, before downing MIT for the second time this week in three games, 25-23, 25-22, 25-21.
In the win over MIT, Heather Lively (Royalston, Mass.) led the Pride attack with 13 kills, while Sarah Lang-Rodean (Mansfield, Conn.) added nine kills . Aylene Ilkson (Baldwin, N.Y.) registered 16 digs, while Heidi Yohe (Deer Park, Wash.) chipped in with 13 digs in the victory.
To start the day, Springfield had its seven-match winning streak snapped by the Tufts Jumbos. Lively, who made the All-Tournament Team, recorded 13 kills in the loss, while Lang-Rodean added 12 kills out of the middle for Springfield.
For her efforts over the weekend, Lively was named to the All-Tournament Team, as the Pride finished third in the 15-team field.
The Pride return to conference action on Tuesday evening when it plays host to Clark at 7:00 pm.

I started working on health advocacy at the North Carolina Justice Center back in 1997, a few years after graduating from UNC's law and public health schools. As I move into a broader role working with a national child and family health organization, I have a few thoughts for North Carolina's Gov. Pat McCrory and the General Assembly on the issue of health care for our lowest-income state residents.
Today in North Carolina we stand at an impasse on the Affordable Care Act. Out-of-state political groups are spending millions of dollars demonizing the health care coverage people are now buying from N.C. Blue Cross and Coventry Health Plans through the new law. Top state political figures complain repeatedly about the health care law even as mothers and children, small-business owners with pre-existing health conditions and many others sign up in our state.
Even with the recent good news about the ACA, including declining costs and exceeded enrollment goals – North Carolina has the fifth-highest enrollment in the nation – there remains a significant coverage gap in our state. People below the poverty line of $11,670 a year who are either single or no longer have kids living at home are literally "too poor" to qualify for affordable coverage and are turned away because McCrory and the N.C. General Assembly did not expand Medicaid.
This has been a surprise, perhaps because of my long history of health advocacy where I have been a part of the two Republican-driven efforts to expand health coverage to our neediest children and seniors. With the "party of no" reputation McCrory and the General Assembly have built for themselves the last two years, it is hard to believe that the two largest expansions of state health coverage in the last 20 years were largely driven and shaped by the same party that last year turned down $5 million a day in federal dollars to expand coverage to the poor. However, it is true.
To understand this, one needs to remember a little history. N.C. Republicans decisively won elections in 1994 to gain control of the N.C. House for the first time since 1894 and controlled the House until 1998 alongside a Democratic state Senate. It may seem quaint today, but then House Republicans were eager to prove that they could be for something as popular as good, affordable health coverage.
House Republicans proceeded to lead the passage of one of the biggest expansions of Medicaid in N.C.'s history: full Medicaid coverage to elderly and disabled people with incomes below the poverty line. This brought approximately 40,000 people into the program with literally life-changing results for many of the most vulnerable people in our state. Moderate Republicans and Democrats worked together over the objections of conservatives in both parties.
But these Republicans in the 1990s weren't finished. A dismal lack of health insurance for children in the 1990s spurred Congress to pass the State Children's Health Insurance Program where millions of dollars in federal money was provided to states to expand health coverage to children of working parents. States faced many choices for their children's coverage from declining the money to simply expanding Medicaid to kids. Then-Gov. Jim Hunt wasn't shy about his preference for Medicaid. When Republicans in the N.C. General Assembly wouldn't expand Medicaid to kids, he barnstormed the state preaching the importance of health coverage for children and called the General Assembly back into a special session to consider the issue.
House Republicans wouldn't back down and insisted on a more market-based solution. In the end, Republicans got their way, and kids in N.C.'s Children's Health Insurance Program got their insurance – paid for by federal dollars – not through Medicaid but through N.C. Blue Cross Blue Shield's state employee plan. The result? Eventually over 100,000 uninsured kids gained health coverage.
Republican governors in multiple states are sounding more like our 1990s N.C. Republicans these days. Utah's Gov. Herbert in just the last few weeks has been discussing a market-based plan for Medicaid expansion with the federal government and recently was quoted: ""We were received very well" by the Obama administration on our unique plan.
Even holdouts Idaho and Wyoming are watching Utah's expansion efforts closely and may move toward expansion. Pennsylvania's Gov. Corbett is awaiting a ruling on his latest very conservative plan while Republican Iowa Gov. Branstad just got approval for his market-based expansion solution.
After presiding over the biggest expansions of health coverage in N.C.'s history, Republicans should have been eager to put a conservative spin on Medicaid reform and gain a reputation for solving major health care coverage problems as well. Maybe after 17 years I'm still naive, but as N.C. shrinks into the minority of states rejecting Medicaid expansion I can't help but think McCrory would rather create positive change than continue to just say no.
Adam Searing is the former director of the Health Access Coalition for the N.C. Justice Center.

Charlotte, 12/10/78
Few eras of Bob Dylan's live career have a worse reputation than the 1978 tour. Backed by an 11-piece band, the show featured radically rearranged versions of Dylan's greatest hits – with lots of saxophone and back-up singers. Just weeks into the tour Columbia taped Bob Dylan At Budokan, which was originally only supposed to come out in Japan. Cringe-worthy, slick versions of "Mr. Tambourine Man" and "Blowin' In The Wind" sullied Dylan's reputation as a live performer for years to come, but when the tour came to America many months later it finally hit a groove. By this point Dylan was playing songs from Street Legal, which was recorded with his touring band. Unlike most of his catalog, these tracks were actually enhanced by the big band. On this tape from Charlotte, Dylan is on fire as the band plays killer versions of Street Legal tracks "Señor (Tales of Yankee Power)," "We Better Talk This Over" and "Changing of the Guards." With the exception of "Señor," he'd play virtually nothing from the drastically underrated Street Legal over the next three decades.
The 100 Greatest Artists of All Time: Bob Dylan
Toronto, 1980
Dylan may have faced some backlash when he toured with an electric band in 1965, but it was nothing compared to what he dealt with 15 years later. After converting to Christianity and cutting an album of born-again songs, Dylan hit the road singing only the new material. He also preached from the stage. "I told you 'The Times They Are A-Changin' and they did!" he told a crowd in New Mexico. "I said the answer was 'Blowin' In The Wind' and it was! And I'm telling you now, Jesus is coming back, and he is! And there is no other way of salvation."
Often lost amidst all the craziness is the fact that the new songs were great, the band was amazing and he was singing with more gusto and conviction than he'd ever shown before. At this Toronto stop (which was also videotaped), he opens with "Gotta Serve Somebody" and rips into gospel classics like "Precious Angel" and "Slow Train." Guitarist Fred Tackett, drummer Jim Keltner and keyboardist Spooner Oldham form the core of one of Dylan's all-time great backing bands, and the finale of "Pressing On" is positively chilling. Beginning alone at the piano, Dylan is slowly joined by the band and back-up singers into what erupts into what is perhaps the most emotionally raw performance of Dylan's career. An absolute must-hear for Dylan aficionados.
Bob Dylan, Recovering Christian: Rolling Stone's 1984 Interview
Sydney, 2/24/86
With the exception of a six-week European stadium run in the summer of 1984, Dylan stayed off the road between 1981 and 1986. When he returned he was at the absolute nadir of his career, but with Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers serving as his backing band he slowly began to revitalize himself. "I didn't figure I had much of an audience," Dylan wrote in 2004's Chronicles. "As big as the crowds were, Petty was drawing most of the people."
That's a bit of an understatement, and even if it were true the show was largely devoted to Dylan's catalog. At this Sydney show – which is captured on an absolutely flawless soundboard recording– Dylan is in an unusually chatty mood, telling stories behind songs and lashing out at the rock critics who had been ravaging him. In a nice change of pace from his usual Sixties nostalgia shows, he plays a large amount of new songs – highlighted by "Lenny Bruce," "Seeing The Real You At Last," "I and I" and "In The Garden." The masterpiece here, though, is "When The Night Comes Falling From The Sky." On Empire Burlesque Arthur Baker buries the song underneath layers of horrendous Eighties production, but with the Heartbreakers the song is revealed to be one of the all-time great forgotten Dylan songs.

August 1, 2014
WASHINGTON (AP) - The steady drum beat of job losses, home
foreclosures and rising energy prices has pushed consumer
confidence to a new low.
According to the RBC Cash Index, confidence in early April
dropped to a level of 29-and-a-half against a benchmark reading of
100. It's down from 33 in March.
It's the lowest confidence mark since the index began in 2002
and marks the fourth month in a row that consumer confidence hit a
new low.
Worsening problems with housing and credit, plus the financial
turmoil on Wall Street and sky-high fuel prices have put people in
a gloomy mind-set.
Last April, confidence stood at 85, based on results from the
international polling firm Ipsos.

Welcome to Pre-Health at Haverford
The Pre-Health Office serves Haverford students and alumni who are interested in the health professions, including medicine, osteopathy, public health, dentistry, nursing, podiatry, physical therapy and more.
At Haverford College students can develop a particularly strong foundation for careers in these professions because of our academic excellence, opportunities for research and service, and humanistic Quaker values. In addition, given our convenient location outside of the city of Philadelphia, our students take advantage of numerous opportunities to volunteer and work in hospitals, clinics, and research facilities in the area. Haverford alumni have distinguished themselves as physicians in all areas of medicine and dentistry, as leaders in public health, and in satisfying practices as nurse practitioners, nutritionists, genetic counselors, physical therapists, and other health programs.
Our office provides guidance and support to our students as they plan their pre health curriculum and extra curricular activities. We help them think through their schedules to fulfill admissions' prerequisites for medical schools and other programs in the health sciences; plan for summer and extracurricular activities; and strategize for when and how they will apply to medical or other health professions schools.
Our acceptance rate to medical schools, specifically, is substantially higher than national acceptance rates and compares to those of peer institutions and Ivy League schools. In 2013, the average GPA of our accepted candidates to medical school was a 3.57, and average MCAT score was 31.45. Haverfordians are currently attending leading medical schools throughout the country.
The College now offers a Health Studies minor.
Hours & Location
The Office of Pre-Health Advising is located in Chase Hall 208.
Our hours of operation are:
Monday, 9:00 am to 5:00 pm
Thursday, 9:00 am to 5:00 pm
Friday, 9:00 am to 5:00 pm
Appointments with Michele can be made for 10:00 am to 12:00 pm and 2:00 pm to 4:00 pm on Mondays and Thursdays. There is a Walk-In Hour for quick questions or concerns every Friday from 10- 11 am (no appointment necessary).
Cheryl Mathes can be reached from 8:30 am to 4:30 pm, Monday through Friday.
Pre-Health Society
The Pre-Health Society is a student organization which reaches out to Haverford students interested in pursuing careers in the health field. They inform students of resources available, plan community service activities, provide network opportunities, and much more.
If you are interested in the Pre-Health Society, contact Stephanie Kahn. Also, check out the Society's cool student handbook, chock full of information about health related courses, opportunities, and events!

Search results for 'Transformers: More than Meets the Eye'
Rip Kirby, Vol. 4$49.99The fourth and final volume of Alex Raymond's modernist classic Rip Kirby contains every daily strip from April 19, 1954 through September 29, 1956. The 46-year-old Raymond's tragic death in the prime of his life caught the syndicate in mid-episode. This book also contains the conclusion to Raymond's ultimate story, drawn by John Prentice, from October 1 through October 20, 1956. Edited and designed by Eisner Award-winner Dean Mullaney, with a biographical and historical essay by Brian Walker. Learn More
Definitive Flash Gordon and Jungle Jim, Vol. 1$75.00IDW's Library of American Comics is producing The Definitive Flash Gordon & Jungle Jim as part of the Ultimate Alex Raymond Collection. The Definitive Flash Gordon & Jungle Jim will present every Sunday by Raymond from both classic strips together for the first time, in the oversized 12" x 16" champagne edition format. The artist's post-war modernist detective series, Rip Kirby, is currently being collected. Eisner Award-winner Dean Mullaney is editing and designing the deluxe editions. "Although Flash Gordon has been previously reprinted, this—finally—is the first meticulously remastered and restored edition that prints the strip in a large size and in Raymond's original format that includes the Jungle Jim topper. We believe this will be the definitive edition for the ages." Created by Raymond in 1934, Flash Gordon is arguably the most famous science fiction comic strip of all time. It follows adventures of the title character and his companions—Dale Arden and Dr. Zarkov—as they leave Earth to discover the source of meteors that are threatening the planet, and gets waylaid on the planet Mongo, where they battle the evil Ming the Merciless. The three Earthlings encounter one strange race after another, from the water-breathing Shark-Men of the Undersea Kingdom, to the winged Hawkmen, to the ferocious Tusk-Men. All the while, Flash finds himself in the arms of one beautiful woman after another—much to Dale Arden's chagrin. Jungle Jim was created as a strip topper for Flash Gordon, and followed the life of Jim Bradley, who fought pirates, slave traders, and assorted villains in the exotic Southeast Asia of the 1930s. This neglected Raymond classic also features Jim's native cohort Kolu and femme fatale Lille DeVrille. Learn More
