KIEFER, Okla. —
The Morrison Wildcats will settle for second place in the district after a tough 23-8 loss to Kiefer.
The Wildcats' chances at the district title were still alive with a tied game at halftime, but Morrison (8-2) couldn't keep up with Kiefer (10-0) in the second half. Morrison's hopes for the win were dashed when the Wildcats allowed Kiefer to score 15 unanswered points in the second half.
The Wildcats will have home-field advantage when they play Fairlane, the third-place team in District A-8, in next week's first round of playoffs.
Cushing 40, Bethany 13
BETHANY — Despite Cushing's secured spot in second place in the district, the Tigers still played to win over Bethany.
One name stood out for Cushing (8-2), Gage Stallworth. Stallworth rushed 163 yards and five touchdowns. Quarterback Bingham Hightower also dominated in the air, throwing for 137 yards. Bethany (4-6) couldn't keep up the pace with only 243 offensive yards.
The Tigers will host Blanchard next week in the first round of the playoffs.
Perry 32, Newkirk 0
Newkirk — Perry had a shutout against Newkirk in its final district game this season.
Perry's defense pulled through with five sacks, two by Dalton McNeil.
On the offensive side of the ball, Austin Allen was the leading rusher with 22 carries for 163 yards, averaging 7.7 yards per carry. He had one touchdown.
The Newkirk offense fell short. Newkirk's leading rusher, Ethan Collins, only came away with 112 yards.
The Maroons will travel to Millwood for their first playoff game next Friday.
Okmulgee 26, Perkins-Tryon 20
OKMULGEE — Fumbles proved costly as the Demons (5-5) lost a first-half lead in a 26-20 loss to the Bulldogs.
"We had too many penalties, too many turnovers and too many injuries," coach Lloyd Wertman said. "We have a long way to go."
Perkins-Tryon held a 20-12 first-half lead but fumbled eight times, losing six. Okmulgee (3-7) outscored the Demons 14-0 in the second half. The turnovers overshadowed the performance of running backs Tyler Taff and Jacob Peyton, who gained more than 100 yards.
Despite the loss, P-T still qualifies for playoffs and will play at District 3A-1 champion Tuttle.
Bluejacket 74, Carney 44
CARNEY — The clock struck midnight on the Bulldogs' miracle run as the Chieftains won 74-44.
"It was tough," coach Mark Davis said. "We had some blown coverages and costly penalties."
Bluejacket (8-2, 6-2) had control most of the game, racing to a 42-13 lead. Davis said he was proud of how his players fought back. Although Carney (5-5, 4-4) didn't qualify for the playoffs, it still finished with the best record in school history.
"They have lots to be proud of," Davis said. "This is going to be a team that will be remembered for a long time because they played as a team and not individuals. They played as a band of brothers."
Yale 38, Regent Prep 14
YALE— Yale featured a strong running game to come away with the win over Regent Prep.
The Bulldogs (6-4) had 300 rushing yards, resulting in five of their six touchdowns. They racked up points in the endzone, but failed on the majority of their point-after attempts.
Yale plays Warner next Friday in the first round of the playoffs.
Crescent 41, Pawnee 34 OT
CRESCENT — The Black Bears held their own against one of the state's best but came up short in overtime, 41-34, to the Tigers.
Coach Marlon Houston said he was proud of how his team played despite the outcome.
"The kids hung in there," Houston said. "They played tough teams and showed up every week. When we were 1-5, 1-6 and 1-7, they stayed positive. The seniors continued to lead. I couldn't be surrounded by a better group of young men."
Most of Pawnee's athletes will move on to basketball and wrestling.

Green-winged Teal
Green-winged Teal
Photo Credit: Copyright © Bill Horn
SCIENTIFIC NAME: Anas crecca
DESCRIPTION: Greenwing teal (Anas crecca) are the smallest of North American ducks with a short neck and small bill. Male green-winged teal have a cinnamon colored head with an iridescent green to purple patch extending from the eyes to the nape of the neck. The chest is pinkish-brown with black speckles, and the back, sides, and flanks are vermiculated gray, separated from the chest by a white bar. The wing coverts are brownish-gray with a green speculum. The bill is a dark slate, and legs and feet are dark gray. The male has a distinctive high-pitched "preep-preep" call. Female green-winged teal are mottled brown with a dark brown line that extends from the bill through the eye. The bill is dark gray, and the legs and feet are olive-gray to brownish-gray. The female is relatively silent but has a sharp, high pitched "quack" when flushed.
DISTRIBUTION: Greenwing teal breed from
HABITAT: Greenwing teal inhabit marshes, ponds, marshy lakes, and flooded agriculture fields such as rice or soybeans. They prefer small and shallow permanent ponds near boreal forest with an abundance of emergent vegetation, but also nest in prairie pothole country or in areas with dense emergent vegetation. Greenwing teal have an extensive range, having been recorded as far north as
FEEDING HABITS: Greenwing teal feed on seeds of sedges, smartweeds, pondweeds, grasses, aquatic insects, mollusks, crustaceans, and tadpoles found while foraging in and adjacent to mudflats or in shallow water.
Molting - Male greenwing teal leave females at the start of incubation and congregate on safe waters to molt. Some populations undergo an extensive molt migration while others remain on or near breeding grounds. Females molt on breeding grounds.
Migration - Greenwing teal are among the earliest spring migrants. They arrive on nesting areas almost as soon as the snow melts. Greenwing teal begin to depart their winter grounds in early February and continue through April. In central regions they begin to arrive early in March with peak numbers in early April.

As with the original flagship, Samsung is counting on the midrange phone's fingerprint scanner, heart-rate monitor, and extra apps to stand out.

In addition to speeding up its flagship interchangeable-lens model, Nikon debuts a power-zoom kit lens and a telephoto zoom for its CX mount.
Its lens, sensor, and LCD remain unchanged from its predecessor, but a new processor, Wi-Fi, and GPS keep the flagship megazoom from getting stale.
Built-in image stabilization and high bitrate recording make this Sony's best Action Cam yet, but there are still a few usability quirks remaining.
With its powerful processor, great camera, decent screen and gorgeous, waterproof design, the Sony Xperia Z1 Compact is the best small Android phone around.

With its aluminium body, high-quality digital audio amplifier, and ability to play lossless audio files, the Sony NWZ-Z10 is an MP3 player for the dedicated audiophile that demands top-quality sound.
The Xperia Z1S is the most impressive smartphone Sony has ever sold on any carrier, but an inferior screen makes Samsung's Galaxy handsets better deals.
Pricing not available
Joining the AS30V's new hardware features are a new waterproof housing and several accessories and mounts, bringing it closer to the competition.
Sony's HT-XT1 sound stand is packed with features, looks sleek, and sounds great, making it a no-brainer upgrade over your TV's built-in speakers.
They may be close to 30 years old, but the comfortable fitting Sony MDR-V6s are arguably the best-sounding headphones for under $100.

Comments about BIG AGNES Flying Diamond 6 Tent:
Me, my wife, and our 3 year old like to go car camping and were looking for a tent to replace a leaky, half fly, cheap tent that was bought at a big box store and would constintly break the fiberglass poles. I would call this tent a 4+2 person tent as there is a main 4 person dome with an attached 2 person tent that has a zip down divider between the two. Also, I would call this a 3+ season tent, though I haven't taken it out in the winter yet. It is easy to set up with mesh sleeves, quality aluminum poles and snap fit ends that fit into grommets in webbing on the tent. The full rain fly is easy to throw on as it buckles to the tent body and can be cinched down with webbing. The fly has shed copuious amounts of rain through the three seasons we've had it. Only one time did it soak through the bottom of the tent, but that was due to ponding water on the site and a hard time staking the fly out due to rocky conditions. It has a nice large vestibule on the main dome's end, but the exit on the +2 person end doesn't have one and could use one. On warm days, it can get stuffy in the tent due to it's darker color and lack of mesh vents on the body. There were some minor quality issues as there was a missing fitting on a door tie and a grommet for holding the poles popped out of the webbing on the tent body, but nothing so far to ruin the integrety of the tent.
One thing of note: I don't know if it's been fixed our purchace or not, but the directions on the tent say to use the yellow ended pole on the vestibule and the orange ended pole over the +2 person end of the tent. This caused the fly to not sit on the tent properly as the yellow ended pole is longer and there was too much of a gap between the fly and the ground on the vestibule, while fly on the +2 end sagged. Switching them around fixed the problem and made more sense anyway as the webbing on the front of the tent is orange to denote it as the front of the tent.

Big Agnes advertises this tent as 4-season, it is NOT. The vents on the rain fly cannot be closed. Wind and rain are easily swept inside this tent.

818 takes Ball Whacker's Ball in San Francisco
Amazing city, amazing people and amazing polo made this weekend a fantastic one. Ben, Joel and the whole SF crew really did an amazing job putting together the second Ball Whacker's Ball. Polo, costumes and beer all abounded, as the jubilant citywide celebration of the Giants win coincided with our celebrations of a solid first place win by 818′s best. Joker, Pistolero and Too $hort played hard and smart to win over the "SlayersnArlyn," who proved themselves to be well-matched opponents. The final game was close, and the victory a phenomenal show.
Congrats to SlayersnArlyn and Los Tres Pendejos, who fought hard for 2nd and 3rd place, respectively. Finally, congratulations BWB MVP, Kayla! Way to go girl. (further standings here)

David Josefsberg lights up the Paper Mill Playhouse stage in a door-slamming farce that has been a staple of professional and community theaters since its debut in 1986 on London's West End.
Patch's reviewer wrote, "David Josefsberg sets the pace as Max, the assistant to the manager of the Cleveland Grand Opera House (circa 1934). Max dreams of being an opera star himself, but he's the reserved and nervous type, which keeps him behind the scenes despite a booming tenor voice of his own."
So who is this booming tenor and nearby neighbor? David Josefsberg answered a few questions for us. This is Part I of our interview; check back later this week for Part II.
Can you describe your role of Max in Lend Me a Tenor and tell us how he is like you?
What can I say about Max? He is possibly my favorite character that I have ever played. I love how he grows from the subservient assistant, to the huge, Latin lover, Opera Star, and then back to Max with his newfound confidence. He is like me in that I am a Latin Lover………no wait……he is somewhat like me in that we both are these little semi-nerdy guys who know/believe that we are a lot more. Max gets to experience this on a grand scale and I guess I have as well.
What is the greatest challenge of this role?
Max is onstage and going 100 miles per hour for the entire show. I have done big roles before (Altar Boyz, Les Miserables, Rated P, It Shoulda Been You) but nothing like this. I would say learning the words was difficult, but the way that Ken Ludwig has written this show, the words just make so much sense. Each stutter is just, just, just written so perfectly. It really fits well in my mouth. So I will say that not being able to use the bathroom, trying not to sweat, and not returning to my birthweight are the biggest challenges.
Your duet with John Treacy Egan is amazing and one of the highlights of the show. Can you comment on that?
Thank you so much. Singing the opera has been so much fun. I really haven't performed opera since I was 16….ahem, 6 years ago. (yeah right). JT is so much fun to work with. Actually, everyone in the cast is so much fun to work with. He has such an amazing voice and I just love performing with him. His faces continue to make me laugh onstage, and offstage I can laugh just hearing him deliver a line. Judy Blazer has really helped us with the pronunciation and Tom Helm was amazing teaching us the opera. Not sure i will ever be asked to sing at the Met, but I am loving every minute here at the Paper Mill. Also, singing the finale is probably my favorite moment of the show. With all the funny it is a moment where i have trouble keeping myself from shedding tears. Jill Paice is so believable and heartfelt in that moment……she makes it very easy for me.
What is it like working with the cast and the director, Don Stephenson, you have for this production?
Don is a terrible hack! I mean, he has been absolutely wonderful. Let me just say that I am not usually this gushy over a show, or the people in the show, I am just telling the truth. Not only is he the funniest man alive, but because he was/is an actor he really directs the way an actor likes to be directed. Some directors just say "do it like this" which I would have accepted from him because he is brilliant. Don, though, can find six ways to say it differently so that you can make your own choices. One more thing…..He also will let you try anything you wanted to try……can you tell i like him? Now, the cast. From top to bottom I have only good things to say about this cast….onstage and backstage this has been an amazing experience. True I don't have to take the van with them because I live so close but……they are all fantastic. Everyone is so truly talented and engaged in this show it is a pleasure and seriously so easy.
I love coming to work. The show moves so fast that sometimes you feel like you didn't see each other very much…. but even if it's just meeting eyes with Judy Blazer or Mark Price grabbing my leg as the Bellhop, or Donna English and I nodding our heads together, or Nancy Johnston and I leaving the dumbshow together(it's really one of our only moments)! Or, Broadways Michael Kostroff and I doing EVERYTHING together, Or John Tracey and I getting to live out our 2 Tenors fantasies together, Or Jill Paice's honesty in our quiet mo-MENTS …..I do feel the connection with each and every one of em. That's what I was saying right? I forgot already….Sorry for rambling.
What's it like to perform so close to home? Do you see folks in the audience who know you in other capacities?
AWESOME…..AWESOME,AWESOME, AWESOME!!!!!!! I live nine minutes from the theater and it could not be better. So many of my neighbors, my kids teachers, all of my friends have gotten to, or are going to come. Not only is it the best regional theater there is, but it could not be more convenient. Millburn is an amazing town also….great restaurants, good shopping, gyms, movie theaters….everything one could want!
On one Saturday I went to a soccer tournament for my son, did the first show, and then went back for more soccer before the second show…..it is a dream! Most people want the Broadway, I want the Paper Mill!…..and the Broadway.
Why should South Orange residents go to see this show?
Lend Me a Tenor is a SUPER-FUNNY show, with amazingly talented Broadway performers. It has music, it has door slamming, it has romance, it has………everything. People young and old will love it. My 86-year-old uncle and my four and eight-year-old boys (Benji and Cooper) both loved it. My sons saw a matinee and asked if they could see it again that evening. It moves so fast they had no time to be bored!
Lend Me a Tenor" continues through March 10 at Paper Mill Playhouse, Brookside Drive, Millburn. Tickets are $26 to $97. For information, call 973-376-4343 or visitwww.papermill.org.

hey, i was 245lbs and now i'm down to 153lbs, i want to start working out and wanna get as big as possible. what the best supplements to buy and protein shakes to buy and where could i buy them online?, also how many protein shakes and supplements should i take per day. i was wondering what would be the routine to get big.
That's a lot of questions for just starting out. If you lurk and search for a while, you will find a lot of answers. Try the "Diet and Nutrition" forum for protein and post workout nutrition suggestions.
In the mean time, since you posted this in the Wannabebig routines forum I'd recommend starting out with wwb #1. It's a good routine to start out with and grow. Try it for 8 weeks and see how you like it.

When you hear the word "vegan," what comes to mind? For most of us, at least in Somerset County, vegan is not exactly normal. We think of hippies or celebrities; people who want nothing to do with regular society or who can afford personal chefs. We don't think of the girl next door.
When I told my mom I was going vegan, she just sort of stared at me. My little cousins thought I had a disease. My friends thought I'd never drink another beer. They all agreed that being vegan is not for a typical girl from New Jersey who loves the Yankees, beer and summer BBQs. After three years, I still don't always think it's normal.
Despite the social stigma, it's hard to deny the vegan trend happening across the country. It's all over the news, with celebrities jumping on board faster than a runaway train. But it's still not considered "normal"—or easy—in the suburbs. Until now!
This weekly column will track my adventures as a normal girl attempting to stick to my normal life, despite shirking the normal American diet. I'm 26 and a 2003 graduate of Parsippany High School. I played three varsity sports in high school, went to the University of Maryland and spend most summer weekends down the shore.
I didn't know any vegans or vegetarians growing up—although I've since found out that a few of my friends' parents are vegan. I do it for myself, my health, rather than animal rights. I love that my lifestyle saves hundreds of animals a year, but that wasn't my motivation.
As you'll see through my adventures, when I decided to stop eating meat, I never planned on changing my lifestyle or my social circle. Yes, I was changing my eating habits, but I still wanted to go to my favorite local restaurants and fit in with my friends from home.
I'll be reviewing restaurants—normal ones, not just vegan spots—throughout Somerset County. I'll offer advice on what to do if a vegan is coming to dinner or you're a vegan going to a dinner party; how to handle your family's confusion when you don't eat turkey on Thanksgiving and a look inside a million other situations. The column is a general humor and wellness column, with a vegan bent.
Whether you've thought about going vegan, are vegan, have a gluten or lactose allergy, have friends who recently stopped eating steak, or are just looking for a good laugh, I hope this column provides a little insight into the life of a vegan in the 'burbs.

The Buffalo Bills ended the third quarter today on the doorstep of regaining the lead against the Miami Dolphins.
Miami took the lead with an 11-play, 66-yard drive that took 6:43 off the clock. Ryan Tannehill connected with Brandon Gibson for a 4-yard touchdown, Gibson's second of the day, to give the Dolphins a 21-17 lead.
Miami forced a three and out on the Bills' first possession coming out of halftime, then went on their long march. Miami converted a pair of third-and-1 plays on the drive, with runs by Daniel Thomas and Lamar Miller, respectively.
At the end of three quarters, time of possession is almost identical, with Miami leading, 22:45-22:15.
Hanging tough: The Bills converted three third downs on their drive following Miami's touchdown. Thad Lewis connected with Stevie Johnson for 7 yards on a third-and-7 and the pair connected again for 17 yards on a third-and-11 play. A personal foul penalty was tacked on after the play when Dolphins linebacker Jelani Jenkins made contact with Lewis' helmet. After the play, Lewis pumped his fist at the Bills' sideline, trying to fire his team up.
Lawson hurting: Bills linebacker Manny Lawson left the game because of a hamstring injury. His return is questionable. Lawson left last week's game because of a hamstring injury and did not return.
Read option: The Bills' second possession of the third quarter got off to a good start, thanks to Lewis' legs. He ran for 8 yards on a read-option play, then ran again later in the drive for a gain of 4 yards. It's a wrinkle of the offense that is good to see.

Hands holding collection of cigarette rolling papers incl. brands Drum, Bambu & Club; used for tobacco & marijuana cigarettes.
A prominent cigarette paper maker says a Brooklyn-based company stole its distinctive style for T-shirts celebrating President-elect Barack Obama's victory.
Bambu Sales Inc. filed a federal trademark-infringement lawsuit in Manhattan Friday, saying Love Fatigues LLC copied the curvy script and beige-and-white striped background used on Bambu's packages and its own T-shirts.
Love Fatigues' shirts say "Obama" in Bambu-like type. Company owner and Obama supporter Seamus McGovern says the design is art meant to make people see a familiar symbol in a new way — not commercial copycatting.
Bambu wants a judge to award the Westbury-based company the T-shirts' profits, as well as unspecified damages. It also wants the T-shirts turned over for destruction.
Obama representatives did not immediately respond to an e-mail inquiry late Friday.

WALLOPS ISLAND, Va. (AP) -- High cirrus clouds have postponed the launch of two sounding rockets from NASA's Wallops Island Facility in Virginia.
The launches will support a joint project between NASA and the Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency to study a global electrical current that sweeps through the ionosphere.
NASA says clear skies are needed for the project.
The Black Brant V and Terrier-Improved Orion were scheduled to be launched 15 seconds apart Monday morning. NASA scrubbed the launch and rescheduled it for Tuesday between 9:30 a.m. and 11:30 a.m.
NASA says the single-stage Black Brant V will collect data on the neutral and charged particles through which it travels through.
A trail of lithium gas will be shot out from the two-stage Terrier-Improved Orion to track how the upper atmospheric wind varies with altitude.

Might I ask why this thread is tagged with "Socialist scum"? Is it to lure MOTO to it? Or is there some Noodles-is-a-Socialist joke that I am not being told about?
Quand ils ont dis "Vous vous asseyez," je me suis levé.
Noodles sarcasm is the awesomeness quality of his personality/character ... I like it when he gets all serious in the politic section.
Haha, I wasn't sure if Jojan was a jerk or not when I first joined the forum, but I have come to enjoy his precise and to-the-point responses.

Safe Haven **½ (R) It was a dark and stormy night. An attractive, disheveled young brunette (Julianne Hough) is fleeing from a scene of violence. She runs into the home of an elderly woman, emerging later with short blond hair, boarding a bus seconds ahead of the pursuing cops. She debarks (debuses?) in a small North Carolina coastal village, gets a job as a waitress, rents an isolated cabin, and reluctantly starts falling for the handsome widower (Josh Duhamel) who runs the general store with his two kids and uncle. We learn before the rest that she's a "person of interest" in a Boston homicide, and probably not using her real name in her new home.
The quiet drama, based on a novel by Nicholas Sparks, plods along as its inevitable romance blossoms, with some helpful advice from her other new friend - an attractive neighbor (Cobie Smulders), who seems nearly as secretive about her own backstory as our leading lady on the lam. We like Hough's character, and hope she's not really the perp of the pursuit, but don't discover the truth of why she landed there for longer than the plot requires. Expect more focus on finding love than solving crimes as the tale unfolds. The action eventually picks up for a rather farfetched climax, with a welcome little perk at the end. If you find the actors engaging and have the patience for director Lasse Hallstrom's idea of pace, the rewards are there. (2/14/13)

Joan Catherine Breiter
Joan C. Breiter, age 79, of Brooklyn Park, MN, formerly of Lake Crystal, MN and Ames, IA, died May 18, 2013, at St. Therese/Oxbow Lake Care Center from Alzheimer's disease.
Joan was the firstborn to Al and Cora Breiter on May 23, 1933, in Elysian, MN, in the home of the local doctor. She lived her childhood years in Lake Crystal, MN and graduated a valedictorian of the class of 1951. She completed teacher training in Mankato, receiving her diploma in elementary education with Special Honor and began her career teaching 6th grade in Winnebago, MN. She later taught in Owatonna for a time and then North Mankato. While teaching, she continued her education, obtaining her B.S. and M.S. degrees from Mankato State College. She then started spending summer breaks in Greeley, CO working on her doctorate degree, which she received from Colorado State College in 1968. Her first college job was as an associate professor at St. Cloud State, but most of her years were at Iowa State University (ISU) in Ames as a professor in the Education Department. Her specialty area was the education of gifted children. She published numerous papers and gave presentations at local, national and international education conferences.
Joan met and married the love-of-her-life, John Wesley (Wes) Sticken, on Nov. 19, 1978; they lived their entire 24 years of married life in Ames. Joan retired after 23 years at ISU in 1992, having been in the education field a total of 39 years. Joan and Wes traveled the world until Wes' death in 2002. Joan moved to St. Therese at Oxbow Lake in 2011 when she needed more extensive care for her memory loss than she was able to obtain in her home. Joan was an avid reader, craftsperson- especially needlework, world traveler, golfer, collector of seashells, nature lover and lover of children. She immersed herself in and fully mastered everything she attempted.
Joan was preceded in death by husband, J. Wesley Sticken, parents, Al and Cora, and brother, John. She is survived by siblings, Tom (Mary-Alice) Breiter of Lacrosse, WI, Mary (Larry) Nolan of Monticello, MN, Marti (Patrick) Breiter Lilja of Minneapolis, MN; sister-in-law Lorna Breiter of Mahtomedi, MN; stepsons, Kirk (Sandy) and Craig Sticken; eight nieces and nephews and their families, and numerous other family and friends.
Memorial Mass on Saturday, June 22, 11 AM at Washburn-McReavy Edina Funeral Chapel, 5000 W 50th & Hwy 100. Visitation one hour prior to service. Visitation and interment in Ames, IA on June 29, 2013. Memorials preferred to St. Therese at Oxbow Lake, North Hospice (North Memorial Medical Center) or Minnesota State University at Mankato .

The intermediate creative writing summer program for grades 6-9 provides students with a three-week immersion in the world poetry and fiction. With guidance from teachers who are professional writers, students develop a portfolio of revised poems and stories and learn how to give and receive constructive feedback to improve their writing. Small class sizes ensure that students receive individualized mentorship from their instructors. Students present their work at a reading at the end of the session.
We are no longer accepting applications for this summer 2014 program. Join our mailing list to receive information about summer 2015 programs.
Writing classes include guided writing assignments, reading assignments, discussion and critique as part of the daily curriculum.
The creative writing forum allows all intermediate writers a chance to work on a variety of projects with each of the creative writing department instructors.
Three additional electives enrich the students' experience (view elective options).
Creative writing majors have the option of taking playwriting as one of their electives.
The creative writing department is centrally located on Interlochen's scenic campus, in The Writing House, a sunny, comfortable building uniquely designed for the study and practice of writing. View 360-degree virtual tour
Note: Students will be provided with notebooks and pencils. Laptops are optional; students who bring laptops are responsible for their storage and security. Computers are to be used for writing purposes only and computer use outside of the classroom will be restricted to designated times and areas. Creative writers who bring a computer must provide their own USB drive to facilitate printing. iPads are not recommended as students will not have access to wireless printing.
This program does not require a portfolio. It enrolls on a first-come, first-served basis, so early application is advised.

The Daily Item
SUNBURY — Shovels plunged and dirt flew Tuesday at the Hunter House as Northumberland County Historical Society board members broke ground on a scale model of Fort Augusta. The model, which eventually will be 32 feet wide, will be one-sixth the size of the original fort, constructed in 1756.
Scott Heintzelman, society president, said he is "thrilled to bring this project to life after 10 years of planning and negotiations."
Fort Augusta was the largest fort built by Pennsylvania's colonial government during the French & Indian War. It originally was built as part of the British defense system against French raids. The tables turned several years later when the fort was used as the military headquarters for the Americans in their fight against British forces.
Fort Augusta gradually deteriorated following the Revolutionary War. In 1930, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania purchased the land. Nine years later, the federal Work Projects Administration built a scale model of the fort, but the model was removed by the state in 1981 after years of neglect.
Heintzelman said the reconstruction of the model will be a good thing for the historical society as well as the community. "It will allow the museum to have a much better story to tell to our visitors and will help bring in tourists who love history," he said.
Connie Tressler, a society board member, agreed. "The fort model was here when I grew up," she said. "It will be nice to see it put back up into existence so that young people can also see it and appreciate its history."
Visitors will be able to walk around the model and use an observation deck to look inside the walls of the fort. The model will include the original Work Projects Administration buildings. The model is part of the historical society's mission to protect, interpret and educate members of the community on the rich history of the area.
Construction of the fort will begin next week. The model, designed by Baer Wolfe Architects, of Sunbury, is based off old plans and diagrams of the fort. Rocky Baer, principal architect, said he is excited to be a part of the revival. "It is not a typical project," he said. "It's nice to be part of something that is going to give back to the community."
A minimum of $125,000 must be raised in order to complete the project. "It will be the largest financial undertaking in the 85-year history of the historical society," Heintzelman said. The society will use some of its own funds to get the project started and has begun a grass-roots appeal, selling "Get Fort-ified" T-shirts, sweat shirts and other memorabilia to raise funds. The Degenstein Foundation, which provides financial support to organizations that benefit the community, will match every dollar contributed to the campaign.
The model is expected to be completed by September. A formal dedication will be held next spring during Mother's Day weekend.
The Hunter House, home to the society's museum and future home of the model, is at 1150 N. Front St.

Grand Theft Auto IV Review
Review Score
- PSU Review Score
- 9.5
- Avg. user review score:
- 8.8
You must be logged in to rate a game
One of the greatest video game stories ever told. It may have its flaws, but it is the most ambitious game made to date and, without a doubt, the best game so far this generation.
We like
- The movie-caliber storyline
- The stylistically unprecedented recreation of New York City
- The vast online experience
We dislike
- The slight framerate dips and pop-in
- The lack of a checkpoint system
See PSU's review on Metacritic & GameRankings
Grand, theft, and auto. These three words, when separate, hold little weight. When conjoined, however, they represent pushing boundaries, confronting the man and provoking society at large. I'm talking of course about the most innovative and controversial franchise to date, Grand Theft Auto. With over 70 million units sold worldwide, the series is one of the most successful in the history of video games. It continues thriving to this day, with its latest entry, Grand Theft Auto IV, arriving with remarkably hefty expectations from millions of prospective owners. Is it even possible for a game to live up to such insane hype? To that, I respond with a resounding yes.
As you surely already know, Niko Bellic has one troubled soul. A veteran of the Bosnian civil war, this immigrant is lured to America by his cousin Roman, who spewed incessant lies about his supposedly extraordinary and glamorous life in the United States. After arriving, Niko (rather despondently) takes refuge in a modern day Liberty City and begins his own search for the American dream.
This search just happens to involve an abundance of car-jacking, gun-toting and cash-grossing. In fact, these three occurrences tend to transpire every few minutes. Niko just happens to be a determined guy who isn't concerned if he lives or dies; if it pays, he's the man for the job. What I love about Niko isn't his awesome accent or unwavering daring, though; his flaws define him. His emotions manifest themselves throughout the plot in a subtle yet dramatic performance. He expresses his sorrow, he makes jokes, he becomes irritated – simply put, he's not a cardboard cutout, he's a human being. Not that the other characters are any less brilliant, but you develop an inexplicable attachment to Niko during the course of the game that you'll discover yourself deeply concerned with his fate. This is an achievement in every sense of the word.
There is one more living, breathing being that must be mentioned, and it's not human. Liberty City is an unprecedented, near-perfect recreation -- in a stylistic sense -- of New York City. The streets are covered in grime, the populace is plentiful and no two buildings appear alike. The city, not as massive as San Andreas or as modest as Vice City, contains more detail and care than both areas united. Familiar landmarks abound, from the Statue of Happiness (holding a coffee cup in lieu of a torch) to a rendition of Times Square as extraordinary as the actual place itself. The grand set pieces are accompanied by an ample amount of highly detailed interior areas that are easily accessible and free of loading, whether entering or departing. Integrate indoor and outdoor areas into a single seamless world by dashing the Cabaret Club to catch a show or heading back to your apartment to watch the latest episode of 'Republican Space Rangers,' a shining satire of both Halo and current politics.
It's uncanny how lively the city can be. As you stroll down the sidewalks of Liberty City, you'll encounter groups of friends having coherent conversations, citizens walking to work in the morning chatting vociferously on their cell phones, denizens hanging out in alleyways and the like. Run into a person and knock them over and they could have a myriad of different reactions. Is this person an inherently irate individual and searching for an opportunity to start a fight? Or is this a person intrinsically frightened by strangers and seeking to avoid conflict at all cost? Perhaps they're in the middle of the road and will simply proceed to curse at you angrily in their native language (apparently Niko is "una puta" and several Chinese phrases I couldn't even begin to comprehend). The inhabitants of Liberty City aren't on, say, Shenmue level, but then again, that's an entirely unjustified comparison of dozens to millions. They're not always perfect, but the general public is as vibrant as diverse as Liberty City itself. It's apparent that the folks over at Rockstar put an insane amount of effort into every asset of Liberty City. It shows.
Outside of the physical world comes the nearly as meaningful universe of media. Rockstar has always nailed the city radio stations and it's no different in this iteration. The assorted stations ... (continued on next page)

Man shot, killed outside south San Antonio home
San Antonio police believe multiple suspects involved
SAN ANTONIO - A man in his 30s was shot and killed shortly after 6 p.m. Tuesday on the 900 block of Crystal Street.
San Antonio police said the man was approached by more than one person and fatally shot.
Multiple shots were fired, but police did not reveal how many times the victim was hit.
Police tell KSAT 12 News they do have witnesses to the shooting. No description of the persons involved was immediately available.
A church sits just across the street from the shooting. Members said they were shaken up when they arrived to Tuesday's service to find the bloody scene.
"Nothing like that has ever happened before. We're in a state of shock," said church member, Santiago Hernandez. "I'm just glad it didn't happen while church was going on because there's no telling. The shooter could've run into the church."
While officers were positioning their patrol cars to block off the murder scene, a silver car crashed into a police cruiser hitting the driver's side door.
The officer inside the car was taken to the hospital as a precaution. Police have not released the identity of the man killed.

Ticket Down announces that soccer powerhouses, Manchester United and AS Roma will tangle at the Mile High Stadium in Denver, Colorado in conjunction with the Guinness International Champions Cup. This well-known ticket exchange is offering their exclusive customer appreciation promo code SOCCER-2014 for added savings.
Denver, CO (PRWEB) July 13, 2014
Manchester United and AS Roma will compete in Denver in conjunction with the 2014 Guinness International Champions Cup. The 2014 ICC is one of the best tournaments held on American soil each year because of the talent of it brings in. Teams like Real Madrid, Manchester City, Liverpool, Manchester United and AS Roma will compete in the 2014 event spread across 10 American cities. The event will kick off on July 24 with a game between Olympiacos and Milan and will conclude with the championship on Aug. 4 from Sun Life Stadium in Miami, Fla. In between, fans will have the chance to see numerous elite matchups including the one held at Sports Authority Field at Mile High in Denver, Colo. between Manchester United and AS Roma.
This matchup will feature two teams from Group A, which also features Internazionale and Real Madrid. Real Madrid has won the tournament each of the past three years under the current name and its previous name of the World Football Challenge. In what is sure to be a tough group and with just one team from each group advancing to the championship, neither AS Roma nor Manchester United can afford to lose this match.
Manchester United, led by Wayne Rooney, Robin van Persie, Javier Hernandez, Rafael, and Phil Jones, was originally founded in 1878 and plays their football in the English Premier League. The team has had a rich and storied history that includes 20 League titles, 11 FA Cups, 20 FA Community Shields, plus the European Cup and UEFA Champions League. Another rich part of their history came in the 1998-99 season when they completed the continental treble with wins in the English Premier League, FA Cup and UEFA Champions League.
AS Roma competes in the Italian football league, Serie A. The team has won three Serie A cups, including their most recent title in the 2000-01 season. The team was originally founded in 1927 and is based out of Rome, Italy. AS Roma is a team filled with many talented players that novice football fans may now be familiar with after watching them compete at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil. Among those players include Maicon, Francesco Totti, and Miralem Pjani.
Sports Authority Field at Mile High was originally opened in 2001. The venue has been home of the Denver Broncos from the National Football League ever since. The 76,125 capacity stadium has been used primarily for football, but has also hosted numerous other events including international soccer matches. When Manchester United and AS Roma compete here on July 26th, it will be another incredible sporting event for fans in Denver to enjoy.

The dog ate my homework.
That age-old excuse — based on a shockingly unforeseen complication — rarely works for a kid who didn't finish yesterday's math assignment.
Yet, in a role reversal, Indiana school children, along with their teachers and administrators, are left to accept an explanation for a disruption best described as the mother of all ironies. The company contracted by the state to administer the ISTEP+ tests apparently didn't fully test its online testing system. As a result, the high-stakes, standardized tests had to be shut down in mid-stream on Monday and Tuesday after school districts around the state experienced connectivity problems and students getting booted offline.
So, the equally frustrated state Department of Education resumed ISTEP at half-speed on Wednesday. The state asked schools to reduce the daily test-taking pace by 50 percent and promised to be flexible with local districts hustling to meet the May 15 completion deadline.
The company, CTB/MacGraw-Hill assured the DOE that students' responses before the online shutdowns will be saved, and that the validity and accuracy of the ISTEP won't be compromised.
The company had an explanation.
In a news release, CTB said it tested the system in a simulation of "live school assessment scenarios. However, our simulations did not fully anticipate the patterns of live student testing, and as a result, our system configuration experienced service interruptions that impacted the testing process."
Pardon Hoosiers, staring skeptically at the CTB statement, arms folded, foot tapping on the floor.
In a different era, it would be easier to take the problem in stride. A kid's thought process and preparation gets abruptly halted one day, forcing a restart the next day. The youngster might score a little lower, but stuff happens, and life goes on, right? Sometimes Fido chews up the math workbook. Sometimes the testing company miscalculates the volume of test-takers.
The day of high-stakes standardized testing is different. The political push for school accountability reforms in recent years has elevated the impact of standardized tests beyond just measuring a student's progress. Instead, ISTEP now plays a prime role in determining a school's grade and teachers' evaluations and pay. Thus, a disruption in the execution of the test — for which entire districts prepare all year — is kind of a big deal.
"The difference between one or two students' scores can make a big difference to a school," Vic Smith, a board member of the Indiana Coalition for Public Education, said Wednesday by phone from Indianapolis. Smith was attending a meeting of the state Board of Education, where he said "everyone's concerned."
Since the four-year, $95-million deal with CTB began in 2011 under former superintendent of public instruction Tony Bennett, ISTEP has encountered online problems in various parts of the state. This week's snafus are more profound. Current superintendent Glenda Ritz, who inherited the situation, called for testing to shut down on Tuesday after 27,000 students were affected, including 7,000 in Vigo County.
As testing apparently resumed with minimal problems Wednesday, Ritz promised to find answers to the testing breakdowns. "We are well aware that the results of this high-stakes test inform school accountability, as well as staff performance evaluation/compensation," she said in a news release. "After the testing is complete, the IDOE will be identifying any factors that may affect these areas and determine what action might be needed."
During her successful campaign in last year's election, Ritz questioned the over-emphasis of standardized testing. Too much "teaching to the test" was draining creativity from classrooms, Ritz — a career teacher — and many other educators contended. Even without two days of online testing system crashes, such standardized tests — especially those loaded with all of ISTEP's implications — add another factor that schools and educators have to handle, tension. "There is a lot on the line," state Sen. Tim Skinner, D-Terre Haute, said Wednesday. "And there's a lot of pressure, and the kids know it."
Ideally, this week's problems will have a humbling effect on those who keep pushing new reforms into reality before the previous round's effectiveness can be measured. A student taking the ISTEP can have an uncharacteristically bad week. And, as Hoosiers have now seen, a testing company can have a bad week. Maybe the reform movement should reconsider the impact of those bad testing weeks on kids, their parents, educators and schools.

Recycling Batteries Responsibly
The European Directive on Batteries and Accumulators aims to minimise the impact of batteries on the environment and encourage the recovery of the materials they contain. In the UK, regulations on the recycling of batteries and accumulators (rechargeable batteries) were Introduced in 2009. The Waste Batteries Regulations aim to significantly increase UK collection and recycling of used portable batteries from 3% in 2007 to 25% by 2012, rising to at least 45% in 2016.
The battery symbol on a product or on its packaging indicates that the product must not be disposed of with general household waste. Instead, it is the consumer's responsibility to dispose of their waste batteries at a designated collection point so that they can be recycled. The separate collection and recycling of batteries at the time of dispo sal will help to conserve natural resources and ensure that they are recycled in a manner that protects human health and the environment. A comprehensive list of battery recycling centres can be obtained from: www.recycle-more.co.uk
All Samsung products that are subject to the Batteries Directive are compliant with the UK battery and accumulator Requirements. In accordance with national law, SAMSUNG Electronics (UK) Ltd is a member of an approved batteries producer compliance scheme. This scheme collects, treats and disposes of batteries on Samsung's behalf.

Ovi: The Door To Nokia Internet Services
Music, games and maps among the first Ovi services.
Nokia introduced Ovi, the company's new Internet services brand name along with four new handsets. With the introduction of Ovi, Nokia is expanding from a focus on mobile devices to offering a range of Internet services.
Ovi, meaning 'door' in Finnish, enables consumers to easily access their existing social network, communities and content, as well as acting as a gateway to Nokia services.
As part of Ovi, Nokia announced the Nokia Music Store and N-Gage, two services that make it easy for people to discover, try and buy music and games from a blockbuster range of artists and publishers, including exclusive content only available through Nokia. Also under the Ovi umbrella is Nokia Maps, a navigation service that offers maps, city guides and more directly to compatible mobile devices. Nokia aims to bring more Internet based services to Ovi in the coming months.
Ovi – one key opens every door.
Ovi (http://www.ovi.com) is the gateway to Nokia's Internet services, including the Nokia Music Store, Nokia Maps, and N-Gage games. It will also be an open door to web communities, enabling people to access their content, communities and contacts from a single place, either directly from a compatible Nokia device or from a PC. The first version of Ovi.com is scheduled to go live in English during the fourth quarter of 2007 and additional features and languages expected to go live during the first half of 2008.
Nokia Music Store – all the world's music in your pocket
The Nokia Music Store (http://music.nokia.com) offers millions of tracks from major artists, independent labels as well as a broad range of local artists from around the world. The store is accessible via a desktop computer or directly from a compatible Nokia device, such as the Nokia N81 or Nokia N95 8GB multimedia computer.

Rock Hill schools Superintendent Lynn Moody resigned Monday to become superintendent of the Rowan-Salisbury School System in North Carolina.
Moody sent an e-mail announcing her departure to all teachers and administrators. She told the school board in a closed meeting Monday afternoon.
Her decision was made public about 30 minutes into a subsequent open meeting, during which the board voted to release her from her contract.
Board members lauded Moodys accomplishments during her seven years as superintendent and said she would be missed.
Youre a dreamer, said board member Ann Reid. You believe in going the extra mile, and you also can see and plan for the future and the iRock initiative shows that.
Starting this year, that two-year, $9 million initiative will provide an iPad to every fourth- through eighth-grade student to use in the classroom and at home.
Chairman Jim Vining and board member Walter Brown called Moody a good friend, a good administrator and a good leader of the district.
Vining, his voice cracking, said Rock Hill will always be indebted to Moody.
A lot of superintendents dont have to get up and work hard to push a district somewhere with new technology, he said. In fact, most of them dont.
Just last month, the school board renewed Moodys contract after a glowing performance review. She declined a 1 percent raise the same percentage increase Rock Hill teachers would receive.
Moodys total compensation for the 2012-2013 school year was $193,450. What she will be paid by Rowan-Salisbury schools was not known Monday night.
Wiping away tears, Moody told the board her new position would be another step on her professional journey. The move also would put her closer to her mother and mother-in-law, who live in North Carolina.
The Rowan-Salisbury School System, about halfway between Charlotte and Greensboro, has about 20,000 students at 35 schools across Rowan County. Rock Hill has about 17,400 students at 27 schools.
Moody reviewed the districts accomplishments during her time as superintendent and praised leadership at the district and school level. Finding a new superintendent wouldnt be difficult, she said, because good candidates would be attracted to the district.
It is an understatement to say that my tenure here will be a very special part of my career, Moody said.
During a break in the meeting, Moody hugged administrators and teachers, saying she has learned everything here.
Leaving was a difficult decision, she said, and should would miss the people most of all.
Its always about the people, she said
Moody came to Rock Hill in March 2003 as an associate superintendent for planning and programming. She became the districts first female superintendent in August 2006.
The Rock Hill School District has an excellent leadership team, outstanding teachers, and great resources, Moody wrote in her email to district employees. I have learned so much from each of you.
Moodys Rock Hill contract will expire Sept. 30, and she plans to start her new job the next day. She is succeeding Judy Grissom, who announced her retirement in March.
Vining said he hopes the board can choose an interim superintendent before Moodys departure. He said it probably will take several months to find a permanent replacement, and that the board likely will hire a search firm.

By Mike Lunsford
Every few days I stand at the base of one of our front yard maples and push a fresh ear of field corn onto a squirrel feeder my friend Joe made for me a few years back.
For some reason, we don't have many squirrels around our place, but we're in no short supply of jabbering blue jays and territorial woodpeckers and space-sharing cardinals, and they thoroughly enjoy the bounty that we leave for them a few feet from our watchful eyes.
Our ear corn habit is supported not by runs into town to the local feed store or farm supply shop but from gleaning the fields near our home. My wife and I know we must look strange to passers-by as they blast past us in their cars and trucks, perhaps even appearing a little needy as we stoop and kneel in our old blue jeans and muddy boots to get our free harvest.
But where there's corn, there's a way, and we are determined to pick it up before the cold and the rain either ruin it or the marauding bands of itinerant deer that take over the fields at night gobble it up.
The rolling acreage near our home is farmed by a friend, Artie Yeargin. My wife and I have taught his children at the local schools, and my grandparents even worked for his grandparents when they were needed during the potato and strawberry seasons years and years ago. He is a good steward of his land, and I admire the way he mows along the roads that border his fields and how he works hard to prevent erosion and waste. I am also more than happy that he doesn't care a bit that we walk his fields to kick up and pick up the corn for our feeders.
In what now seems a whole lifetime ago, I used to walk the fields around our home with my grandfather. We carried burlap feed sacks, and spent sunless afternoons gleaning for ear corn to feed his goats and sheep and my pony. We occasionally had a side of beef on the hoof, too, but I never really liked the idea of what eventual fate he usually faced and secretly hoped he'd remain a little too skinny to dispatch to the slaughterhouse. I also recall that I always wore a stocking cap and that my nose ran and that I wore brown Jersey gloves while we gleaned; my grandpa wore his green gum boots and a hunting cap that had flaps he could pull down over his ears. The cornpickers in those days weren't nearly as efficient as they are now, so we'd come away with considerable loot, knowing that our labor was worth cold hands and a slightly sore back.
Just a week or so ago, Joanie and I were just under way on our customary walk when I spied a single, tantalizing ear of corn where Artie's combine had merely mashed the stalks down, rather than clipping them off. It was a spot near a corner of his field where he'd had to make a turn.
"Let's get that ear when we get back," I told her. "Maybe we can find some more tonight before Artie chisel plows," I said. I knew we would have a nice sunset to watch whether we found much corn or not, so 40 minutes or so later, we found ourselves in the field hunting for unburied treasure. Experienced gleaners know that you step on the shucks as they lie on the ground to see if they are empty or full, that rarely is a full ear of corn found lying in the sun as if it were tanning itself. The whole process simply involves stepping and stooping, an aerobic exercise that neither of us should avoid. In just a few minutes, we had harvested an unexpected bounty, and since it was warm enough, and we weren't far from the house, we both pealed off our jackets and began tossing ears into them in hopes that we wouldn't have to make an extra trip back home to grab a bucket or two.
The word "glean" dates back to the early 14th century and originally may have meant "he selects." By late in that same period, the English were using the verb to literally mean "to gather grain left in the fields by reapers." Of course, there are many Biblical references to the practice, the most obvious being the instance when Ruth caught Boaz's eye as she gleaned his fields for grain. The Law of Moses forbade the corners of the fields to be harvested so they could be gleaned by those who needed it, and the practice is mentioned in both Leviticus and Deuteronomy.
So, who are the two of us to ignore Scripture and leave the corn to rot in the fields? It seems such a waste.
After a while in the field that day, we actually grew selective. At first, we picked up everything, even the ears whose hard, gold kernels were falling out like diseased teeth, even the ears that were less than half full or that held warped and oddly shaped rows of corn, as if the combine passed it by because it had no taste for imperfection. Eventually, we took only the best-beautiful, full ears — some nearly a foot long that otherwise would have gone to the field mice and mold.
We really have no good place to keep our corn once we pick it up, for it isn't as simple as tossing it into a plastic trash can or cardboard box. Field corn needs to be dried — one reason why the roar of Artie's grain bin dryers greets us each morning as we walk out to grab the newspaper or feed our begging cats. It is not, however, an unpleasant sound, for it signals another year gone, a harvest collected, and the return of clear, cold air from the north. If we leave our corn covered or wrapped in plastic for long, we'll find it sopping wet. The tell-tale signs of rot and mold won't be far behind.
We know we'll be robbed of some of our plunder. The same armies of marauding mice that scurry across those nearby fields will attempt a full-scale invasion of our garage and barn to get what grub and warmth they can grab at our expense. The raccoons, before they go into their cold-weather daze, will raid our feeders, too.
But our time walking the fields is well-spent because we get so much more out of it than a bit of corn. But don't tell our blue jays.

Women's Groups Blast Administration's Decision to Fight 'Plan B' Access Case
On the eve of a compliance deadline, DOJ will seek to block decision that would make Plan B available to women of all ages.
Packaging for one brand of the Plan B One-Step (levonorgestrel) tablet, also known as the "morning-after pill." The Justice Department will seek to block a decision to remove the pill's age restrictions.
The fight to make emergency contraceptives – popularly known as Plan B – available to women of all ages over the counter hit another snag Wednesday as the Justice Department announced it would appeal a recent court order that would have removed all restrictions on the drug.
[PHOTOS: Obama Speaks at 2013 Planned Parenthood Conference]
The Federal District Court decision, issued last month by Edward Korman of New York's Eastern District, would have been set to go into effect Monday. The Plan B pill was previously available over the counter to women over the age of 17.
The DOJ decision to appeal is the week's second blow to women's groups, who have fought to remove all restrictions on Plan B for a decade. Earlier this week, the Food and Drug Administration announced it would lower the over-the-counter age to 15, a kind of half-concession, according to people like Susannah Baruch, CEO of the Reproductive Health Technologies Project.
"Both announcements, and particularly taken together, highlight this administration's apparent willingness to cut corners on women's health," Baruch says. "There is simply no medical justification for the FDA's move this week or for the administration's decision to appeal. This is only political interference in scientific decision making."
President Barack Obama has previously said he does not support making Plan B available to women of all ages.
[HEALTH: Plan B Approved for Sale Without Prescription]
"The question is, can we have the confidence that [adolescents] would potentially use Plan B properly?" Obama said in 2011.
In its announcement, the FDA said Plan B would only be sold to women who show identification and said it changed its guidelines "independent of [the New York decision] and is not intended to address the judge's ruling."
"The data reviewed by the agency demonstrated that women 15 years of age and older were able to understand how Plan B One-Step works, how to use it properly, and that it does not prevent the transmission of a sexually transmitted disease," FDA Commissioner Margaret Hamburg said in a statement. The DOJ appeal will not affect the FDA's decision.
In his decision, Korman wrote that Plan B "would be among the safest drugs sold over-the-counter." He added the FDA's argument that young people could abused by young people was "unpersuasive."
[OPINION: 40 Years After Roe v. Wade, We Still Fall Short of Reproductive Justice]
Susan Wood, a professor with George Washington University's School of Public Health and Health Services, blasted the Obama administration over the Department of Justice's decision to appeal the New York decision, invoking a statement Obama released in 2009 regarding stem cell research.
In that statement, Obama said the administration had to let scientists do their jobs and "listen to what they tell us, even when it's inconvenient, especially when it's inconvenient."
"The current decision to appeal is not being based on science or medical evidence. Plan B is safe and effective, just a one time higher dose of regular birth control pills," she says. "Any political concerns should have been over as of the election. The election is over, I thought [Obama] would go back to listening to the science. Unfortunately that hasn't occurred."

Independent candidate John Ewing recently sent out mailings to Brighton Township residents alleging corruption and illegal activities in the current Township Board of Trustees, specifically targeting current Township Supervisor Tom Murphy.
The mailings say, "We will stamp out Murphy corruption," and list alleged examples of corruption with illegal sewer billings, tax evasion with the new Michigan State Police building next door to Township Hall and favor dealing with gravel pit miners.
Murphy said that Ewing's claims are "baseless and untrue."
He said that state officials have reviewed and signed off on the township's handling of the sewer fund, as well as the state police post. Murphy said that police also have investigated Ewing's claims and have determined them to be false.
In addition, Murphy said that he believes Ewing's mailings violate at least one Campaign Finance Act condition because the mailings do not clearly state how they were paid for.
The Michigan Campaign Finance Act states that "a billboard, placard, poster, pamphlet, or other printed matter having reference to an election, a candidate, or a ballot question, shall bear upon it the name and address of the person paying for the matter."
A person violating these conditions may be guilty of a misdemeanor punishable by a fine of not more than $1,000, imprisonment of not more than 93 days, or both.
Ewing sent an email to both Murphy and Brighton Patch on Saturday morning saying: "Thank you for pointing out the oversight on my campaign signs and flyers. They have been updated to identify that they were paid for by my campaign for Brighton Township Supervisor. I apologize for any inconvenience to you or your campaign. I will be informing the County of the oversight."

Despite vowing during his campaign announcement in April to sit down for detailed interviews with reporters, Anthony Gemma's campaign has spurned repeated invitations to appear as a guest on Rhode Island Public Radio's weekly Political Roundtable.
The campaigns of Republican challenger Brendan Doherty and Democratic Congressman David Cicilline are trading shots on a topic related to Mitt Romney's former company, Bain Capital.
Doherty's campaign used a news release this morning to rap Cicilline:
Democratic congressional candidate Anthony Gemma says his campaign account collected $242,000 during the quarter that ended June 30, from contributions and a personal loan of unspecified size.
"I am grateful to all who considered my candidacy and made the decision to support it financially," said Mr. Gemma. "I shall continue to demonstrate, through deed and word, that their confidence in me was well placed."
Congressman David Cicilline's campaign says it raised more than $300,000 during the second quarter, leaving it with a war chest of more than $825,000 as the First District race starts to heat up in earnest.
Republican Brendan Doherty's team said last week it expected a haul of about $200,000 during Q2. The campaign's cash on hand was put at more than $660,000.
Brendan Doherty's congressional campaign raised about $200,000 in the recently ended second quarter of 2012, leaving the campaign with a little more than $660,00o in its war chest, according to political director Robert Coupe.
I've made an inquiry about David Cicilline's comparable figures for Q2 and will update this post after getting that information.
Massachusetts Senator Scott Brown is set to headline a fundraiser for Republican Congressional candidate Brendan Doherty this evening at the Metacomet Country Club in East Providence.
US Senator Scott Brown, who is casting himself as a centrist as he seeks re-election, is the headline for a July 2 fundraiser for GOP congressional candidate Brendan Doherty in East Providence:
Music will be provided by the Reggie Centracchio Quintet during the time at Metacomet Country Club.
Contribution levels range from $100 for "friend," to $2500 for members of the "Colonel's Club."
Former RI state police col. Brendan Doherty of Cumberland , the GOP candidate for U.S. House in the 1st District, has been moving his feet lately.
