A special audit of financial records of the Woodmore School District has begun, Jamie Pearson, district treasurer, told residents attending an Oct. 25 forum.
She described the audit as a "limited-scope examination of financial records and other information designed to investigate allegations of fraud, theft or misappropriation of funds. I felt I had an obligation to report some of these discrepancies at the auditor of state's conference and that's where this all started."
The audit could cover more than one fiscal year, she said.
By implementing more internal controls, Pearson said the administration has made progress in addressing problems with balancing bank reconciliation statements, correcting payroll errors and similar issues.
Dream Again Ohio will soon be opening two subsidized residences to house foster children who have aged at 18 out of the system in former parsonages in the villages of Woodville (Solomon Lutheran) and Elmore (Bethel United Brethren).
There is no set move-in date but the house in Woodville has been recently renovated and has held an open house for the community.
The Elmore residence will house boys and the Woodville residence will house girls, with one site manager for both locations.
The goal of Dream Again Ohio, says founder Evan Matheney, is to end homelessness among former foster youth and to help them develop vital life skills needed to succeed outside of the foster system.
A non-profit organization, Dream Again Ohio was founded by Matheney in October 2014.
Two complaints of money thefts from Woodmore High School facilities have recently been filed with the Elmore Police Department.
Police were called to the school Sept. 29 and Oct. 1, according to department reports.
On the 29th, James Kieper, high school principal, reported funds missing from "athletic event admissions."
On Oct. 1, Steve Barr, athletic director, also notified police of a "cash box reported stolen from unoccupied and unsecured concession building."
Sgt. Jeffrey Harrison, who responded to both calls, issued a statement last week saying the thefts are under investigation and additional records would not be released.
The Wildcats last home football game, prior to the missing funds being reported, was against Otsego on Sept. 18.
Oregon has submitted an application to the Ohio Public Works Commission (OPWC) to help fund the $2.1 million Pickle Road Storm Sewer Relief Ditch project.
Council last week authorized the mayor to submit the application for financial assistance from the State Capital Improvements Fund and the Local Transportation Improvement Program Fund for the project.
The application, if approved, would provide a $320,000 grant and a 0 percent loan of $480,000 for the project, according to Public Service Director Paul Roman.
The city earmarked $1.3 million in the budget for the project, which includes the purchase of an easement from Toledo Edison.
Administrator Mike Beazley said plans call for the construction of detention/retention ponds on the Toledo Edison property that will improve drainage in the area.
Over the course of ten days, nine lucky people were blessed with the opportunity to go on the trip of a lifetime.
Last summer, Woodmore High School Spanish teacher Tom Adams; sophomore Hunter Stevenson and his parents, Jill and Kurt; senior Emily O'Reilly and her mother, Andrea; sophomore Hailey McAfee; and juniors Adam Lemke and Jake Amstutz packed their bags and hopped on a flight to Spain.
After arriving just eight hours later, they checked into their hotel and began their adventure. Students looked forward to their trip.
"My sister went on the 2011 Spain-France trip, and her trip experience influenced me to go," said Lemke. "It was the first opportunity I had to travel outside of the country and I loved seeing the cultural differences."
Amstutz said, "My parents influenced me to go to take a step out of my comfort zone."

Pacific cloudscape, SF->Hnl. 2005. Can you see the curvature of the Earth? I almost thought I could.
Complex cloud system east of Honolulu dropping rain in the center right and with a rainbow added on the top.
Orographic cloud trails from Maui and Big Island, viewed from near Blowhole, Oahu. Maui is visible easily. I half think I see Big Island to its right. Supposedly, this kind of cloud can help lost sailors find an island they cannot see.
Cap cloud over Ko'olau mtns, from Manoa
Lenticular cloud from the Saddle Rd between Maunas Kea and Loa. It lasted at least 15 minutes but we lost sight of it as we drove along. The blueness is courtesy of Costco's lacklustre photo development service (yes, this is from my old film camera).
Lenticular clouds near Kitt Peak, Az, viewed under the arm of the McMath Solar Tower. The clouds held in position for at least 30 minutes, but changed in form on timescales of a few (5?) minutes. In the distance I could see many similar, but smaller, clouds. A bit like giant white UFOs lurking behind the telescope.
This lenticular spent half an hour at sunset trying to grow in the wind-shadow of a ridge by my house.
Wave cloud, probably from ripples on the interface between two airmasses. From the winds and cloud speeds I am guessing that this cloud was about 0.5 to 1 km up and the wavelength was maybe 100 or 200 m, but I don't really know. Shefford, UK. The ripples lasted about half an hour before smearing out.
Rayleigh-Taylor instability traced by cirrus clouds. This was in the morning, a couple of hours after sunrise, in deepest, darkest Wales. The clouds mark slightly cooler, denser air that is falling into warmer, less dense air, so making the instability. The streaks above the mushroom caps show the net motion of the cirrus, downwards in this picture. This picture is further explained in this paper: http://rsta.royalsocietypublishing.org/content/368/1916/1663
Low morning clouds, Manoa Valley. These ones are probably 150m up, adjacent to the west wall. They just met the rising sun and are starting to evaporate. Half an hour later they were gone.
A very wet morning, in the "40 days of rain".
A very low (100m?) stratus cloud base.
Volcanic fog ("vog") layer to the east of Mauna Kea, beneath cirrus clouds and above the thermal inversion-capped convective clouds. The vog is not so white as the water clouds because of sulphur in the droplets. The inversion at the time of this picture was at 6000ft. The photo was taken from 14000ft.
Low ocean clouds and their shadows. South of Maui from 25000ft.
Three bands: next to the coast brown = nearly lifeless rock; then yellow = parched grass; green = living grass. The clouds tell the story: the land is higher to the left in this image, forced cloud formation there gives rain and shadow protection for plants. The coast is a desert, too hot and dry for much to grow. In between, plants grow when they can but are summarily cooked to yellow when the rain fails to materialize. This is the Waikoloa area on the NE side of Big Island, looking south to Hualalei (whose black flows are visible near the top).
Sunset from Manoa
Clouds lit from underneath by the setting sun.
Oil film on a wet, grooved concrete road surface. Grooves about 1cm wavelength. Field width about 2 feet.
Night rain. I placed the camera near ground level and shot horizontally. The light is backscattered from the camera flash. Exposure is 1/80th second. The region where the drops are in focus is about 0.5m across. Nearly vertical lines are falling rain. These drops are brighter at the top end, presumably because the flash intensity fades through the duration of the exposure (but maybe there is another reason?). You can use this to see which way the drops were going: the brightest part marks the start of each trail. Shorter arcs, many of them near horizontal, are droplets splashed up from the ground. Note the helical tracks. I think these are either spinning droplets with elongated shapes or drops whose shapes are unstably oscillating just after their formation by impact. The more obvious helixes have 3 or 4 turns, corresponding to 240 - 320 turns per second (half that if doubly periodic). Water surface tension is ~0.1 J/m2, giving maximum spin rate 400/s for droplet radius 0.5mm. So, consistent.
Milk foam. This is back-illuminated through about 5cm of foam. The yellowy color is from the milk itself. Cell size is roughly 1 mm. Here are the cell side counts: (Nsides:Ncounts) = 3:0, 4:2, 5:15, 6:17, 7:5, 8:3, 9:1, 10:1, 11:0. (e.g. 5:15 means I counted 15 pentagons). I counted shapes in two strips, at the top and bottom, to make it easier. There's some evidence for a spatial variation in cell size - e.g. the large N cells tend to be at the top. Most surprising is that there are not more hexagons. And there are no triangles. Why not? Also, if you plot Ncounts as a function of Nsides, the distribution is like a Maxwellian. Why? This has to be a minimum energy configuration but my first guess would be that minimum energy would associate with a particular shape (hexagon) and you should see a lot of side-by-side hexagons. Evidently not.
Another milk foam picture, this time in B/W and contrast enhanced.
Caustics in a swimming pool. Note the colors on the ring. Field width about 2m.
Manoa Falls with, to its left, a new channel caused by a rockslide during a very wet 2006. Erosion in action. A quick calculation suggests that this is not a dominant mode of erosion in the valley - i.e. Manoa Valley was not primarily excavated by rockslides like this one.
Here's the "before" picture. A little misaligned and with a different camera, but the rockslide track is clearly not there.
Wave action in beach sand, Santa Barbara.
Picture of the Moon taken by holding a Canon XTi to the eyepiece of an 8" Celestron. Note the blue tinge on Mare Tranquilitatis (11 o'clock from the middle of the picture).
Same image but stretched to emphasize color differences. The blue tinge on Mare Tranquilitatis is clear. The edges of Serenitatis are also blue. These color differences result from compositional differences, principally the TiO2 content, in the basalts that fill the giant basins. Bluer means higher Ti content.
Lava cross-section, Manoa Valley. The layers are roughly 1 meter thick, alternating ash (reddish) and basalt (grey).
Basalt dyke. This is the side of a road cut at the Pali Lookout, Oahu. The layering of the rock at the left and right is horizontal. A vertical crack in the middle has been opened by intruded rock, which shows a *vertically* banded structure of slightly lighter rock (I guess because the dyke was intruded into cold rock and cooled by conduction horizontally). The feature is 2-m wide at the top. Small holes at the bottom are unused dynamite holes from the road cutters.
Enhanced, magnified view of the vertically banded structure from the previous picture. Some of the vertical joints are being used by plants, at the top of the picture. The lighter region is about 2m wide at the top.
Stalagmite (left) and stalagtite (right) growing side-by-side. In fact, the stalactite grows into the base of the stalagmite. How did this happen? Both are about 8 meters tall. Luray Caverns, Virginia.
Same two structures closer up. Quite intricate.
Extremely fine layers (just 2 or 3 mm thick) of volcanic ash exposed near the Makapuu Lighthouse trail. The layers are cemented so weakly that they can be broken off with the slightest touch, and pulverized to sand between the fingers. Sticks at the bottom are roots that have driven right through.
The very fine, layered ash has eroded from this cut making the sand pile at the bottom. Above is a layer with plant matter mixed in ("soil"). Vertical and horizontal light bands appear to be channels taken by roots of plants from above. I don't know why they are light, though. It looks like the wooden roots have been replaced with some agglomerated mineral almost as crumbly as the ash deposits around them.
Part of a rusty corrugated iron water pipe, discarded on the beach. Absolutely beautiful.
Close-up of the same pipe.
Close-up of the footpath leading to the sea, near Makapuu Lighthouse. The system of cracks is due to the sun heating and drying-out wet ground (the day before the picture was taken was rainy). Numerous plant parts are scattered across the picture. Also visible are coral (shaped like a person's head), glass, vesicular lava and other small stones. Width of frame about 4 inches.
Close-up of a footpath composed of weakly cemented, heavily degraded, sun-baked, iron-rich volcanic ash. Field width is about 30 cm. The trumpet-shaped objects are flower supports from some nearby bush. This is on Kuliouou trail about 1500 ft up.
Drying cracks in concrete. Keck HQ, Waimea. Even more excellent when zoomed.
Drying cracks in concrete, closer view. Keck HQ, Waimea.
Sand near Makapuu beach, Oahu. The black grains are volcanic, the white ones are mostly shell-parts and perhaps some coral.
Sand from the turtle beach, near Haleiwa. Many fewer dark volcanics than in the previous sample.
Pollution trail from a barge being pulled out of Pearl Harbor. I don't know what's in the barge. Looks like it could be sewage, mud, or even oily sludge from some Navy clean-up. The channel is deep enough to accept aircraft carriers, so I don't think the barge is dredging up bottom sludge (and the bottom is bright coral sand in any case). The picture is here because it shows the shape of the wake nicely, and look how the sludge is diced-up perpendicular to the motion. Why?
Drainage system on the flatlands east of Denver, Colorado, highlighted by a light snowfall.
Waterspout south east of Honolulu (about 5 minutes before landing). Unlike the rain sheets all around it, the spout is narrower at the bottom than at the top and there is disturbed water (fall-back) at the bottom. My eye showed it better. Try the zoom tool (upper right magnifying glass).
Approximately 1.5cm of rime on an angle-iron at the UH telescope, Mauna Kea, complete with perfect holes where the air blew through, each with nicely rounded edges.
Ice sculpture made in rime at 14000 ft. This ice formed over about a week of cold, wet summit conditions, with wind consistent from the north east (right to left in this picture). The rime grows on the right sides of objects hit by the airflow. Although the air temperature remained <0 during this period, the rime is slowly ablated in the wind (which was rapid, about 35 mph at the time of this photo). Places where the ice was thin have opened into holes, and the weight of the ice is pulling some of the material downwards.
Rime build-up on a car wing mirror, Kitt Peak AZ summit.
An enormous convection cell dumping rain on Manoa Valley. As I watched for 2.5 hrs from a nearby boat, 5 or 6 such clouds appeared and then vanished, each dropping huge amounts of water. They form over the Koolau mountains on the far side as wet air is pushed upwards, cools, releases latent heat from forming droplets, and goes unstable.
Vortex on the wing of a 777 at about 10,000ft while descending into Honolulu.
Contrail and its shadow in the cold sky above Shefford.
Low clouds seen against a background of LA city lights.
Lunar eclipse at moonrise, Sandy Beach, Oahu.
Koko at sunset, from the east.
Convection cells in a bottom-heated open pan containing miso soup, at Ichiriki. Field diameter about 15 cm. This is just after heating started and before the convection became vigorous to turbulent.
The triple blowhole at the base of the Makapuu Lighthouse trail, Oahu. The three vents are fed by a single tube to the ocean and work in tandem. They spit droplets, vapor or just air depending on the phases of the waves, and emit a terrible booming sound. Highest jets I saw in a 2.5 hour stay were about 20 ft tall.
Hanauma Bay crater erupted recently (50kyr) on the Eastern tip of Oahu through pre-existing basalts and coral formations. Bits of basalt and coral embedded in tephra are on display along the eroded inside wall of the Bay, most sub-centimeter some up to fist size and a few as big as your head. This surface is exposed by collapsing after wave-cutting at the bottom.
Close up of embedded basalt and coral from the pre-existing terrain at Hanauma Bay. Field here is about 6 inches across. Where the stones have fallen out there is a yellow glassy substance.
In a tide pool on the North Shore, small rafts of self-sticking sand float on the water and cast bright-rimmed shadows on the sandy bottom 10cm below. The bending caused by the surface tension edge of the sand rafts is obvious here as it images the sand bed into a sunspot-like penumbra around each raft. The same curved water surface creates the bright shadow rims, many of which appear chromatic.
Fog cap descending a mountain ridge between San Fran and Santa Barbara and evaporating as it warms adiabatically. It's not at all thick - note the radio mast sticking through the cap.
Heavy hydrocarbons oozing out of an upturned rock on the beach at Goleta.
Even though baked in the full sun for a long time the oily ooze remains soft to the touch and sticky, for feathers and fingers alike. Some blobs, like this one, appear to have floated in on the ocean.
A big blob of heavy hydrocarbon ooze into which many small rocks have stuck, probably as this thing rolled around on the beach. The oily material has subsequently oozed out the bottom.
Clouds over Maui caused by the adiabatic cooling of air rising to pass the island. From a Continental 767 approaching Honolulu.
Cloud streets over southern Texas.
Sediment in meandering river, southern Texas. This may be the Rio Grande.
Meander, oxbows and other failed stream paths. Southern Texas.
Convective anvils with stratus in the upper foreground. Over Texas.
Black mountains from an ancient continent-collision eroding into debris aprons and desert dunes beyond.
Channel eroded through loose sediment by an ice-fed river running across the Gobi desert, near the end of the Great Wall at Jiuquan. The cut is about 50-m tall and widens towards the bottom. Why? Maybe erosion by sideways "splatter" droplets that becomes more important as the drop distance increases? Also, the front face shows that rock drops off from the top down (the lower parts stick out relative to the upper). That is strange because I would have thought that the dominant erosion is from the river, which would tend to undercut the banks and cause the bottom bits to fall out first, followed by collapse up to the top later.
Thermal inversion seen above a steel-making factory near Jiuquan, Gansu. This picture, taken in the morning (at about 8 or 9 am) shows how stable is the air on the plains between the mountains. Presumably, cold air rolls down from the mountains at night and pools on the valley floor, creating the inversion. Maybe this would be a good place for a high-resolution imaging telescope.
A nice mushroom cloud over the inner Mongolian part of the Gobi desert.
Row of collapsing convection cells viewed in projection against the sunset sky, Manoa.
Water droplets condensed on a glass window at the top of a kettle. Field width about 10 cm.
Mirage on the Saddle Road, Big Island. A dip in the road about 300 yards ahead gives grazing angles suitable for total reflection. Things to see: 1) The indistinct nature of the images above the total reflection line, caused by extreme road turbulence (the camera *is* focused) 2) the convergent reflections of the edge white strips 3) reflection of the distant yellow center markers as a stubby vertical line to the right of the actual yellow markers in the foreground 4) reflection of the distant orange traffic cone. The latter gives an idea of the angles...the cone is about 2 ft tall and it was about 200 yards beyond the mirage: 2/600 = 1/300 or about 0.2 degrees. I crouched in the road with the camera at a similar height to take this picture. Question: why does the mirage have shiny upper and lower edges, but a matte interior?
Solidified bubbles in a pancake.
Rust on a child's slide. About 10cm across.
Reflections in a swimming pool on a windy night (no people in the pool). The source is a sodium light, to the left. On the right, individual specular reflections of the light make little loops as the waves move by. Some loops show the 50 Hz electricity frequency. Black spaces are the wave bottoms reflecting only dark sky. On the left the reflections merge (greater distance), the wave bottoms are invisible because of the grazing view angle and there are no angles that can reflect the sky. Redder color is from the illuminated wall behind the light. [Try zoom tool].
FeS crystals in a sample from Cornwall, UK. The biggest ones are a little more than a millimeter across. [zoom tool = good]
Small cloud in a vortex over the wing of a 777 approaching Honolulu on a humid evening.
Wrap-over ("pileus") cloud formed when a cap of moist air is suddenly pushed upwards (and cooled) by the force of an ascending cumulus cell. It differs from the cloud beneath it by not being convective. This one (the diffuse band at the top of the main fluffy cloud) lasted about 2 minutes.
Glass from a smashed window on a car. Looks great under the zoom tool, as well.
Diffraction through an aperture. Plane waves enter, circular ones leave. Picture looking down from Diamond Head: simple, but effective.
Simultaneous eruption clouds from Halemaumau (right) and the ocean lava entry point (left). Viewed before sunrise from the Mauna Kea access road after a night of observing on Sept 28 2008.
Awesome sheared anvil cloud spotted at sea-level sunset. Like an atomic bomb cloud, this one rises and is sheared left (south-ish) by the prevailing high altitude winds. Vigorous convection cells in the rising air cause the lumpy ''mammiform'' underside of the upper left. The grey clouds are dark because they are out of the Sun - they moved quickly to cover the cloud from left to right, interrupting the timelapse movie I took of the anvil ascending. The lower parts of the anvil are reddish because they are illuminated only by the red rays of the near-horizon Sun.
Turbulent convection in the air above a hot grill at a restaurant. The point-like camera flash casts distinct "shadows" and freezes the motion, whereas to the eye these cells are barely visible as a low contrast shimmer. The hot plate is (I'm guessing) 200K hotter than room temperature.
Shell sand. Nearly every grain in this sand is a smashed, wave-polished shell or a tiny piece of coral. Only the black grains are rounded volcanic grains. Note the green spiral to the right of center and the pink banded shell at 1 o'clock. Average grain size about 1mm, at a guess. From a beach west of Shark's Cove, Oahu. Try the zoom tool. [too bad about the focus gradient - this was an extreme macro shot with a lens not really good enough].
Ice crystals growing on the window of a 767 at 34,000 ft.
The natural color of ice: blue. This is the top view of a 300lb columnar block of ice. Tiny bubbles and fractures cause the white coloration in the rectangular core and round the edges. The blue regions are where the ice is transparent and long path lengths are possible. These columns are roughly a meter tall, so the absorption length for red light must be something like a few meters up to maybe 10 meters (because the color is not really strongly blue). If the absorption length is 1/[opacity*density], this means the opacity is about a few * 10^(-4) m^2/kg at, say, 6500Å. I'll check that out on google. In this picture the light is mostly sunlight streaming through an open door to the right, passing through several blocks, then entering the columnar transparent zones. In the freezer at the Union Ice Company, Van Nuys, CA.
Stalagmites forming inside the refrigerated warehouse of the Union Ice Company, Van Nuys, CA. About 10cm tall. I told myself they were brown because they formed from drips from a rusty pipe.
Pattern of cracks in the window of an Embraer aircraft taking us from LA to Boise, seen projected against the blue sky. Picture width is about 15cm. My guess from the curvature is that they are stress cracks, but I don't know why they have those snake-like bends in them. I thought they were filled with ice but they remained nearly as visible upon landing, so probably not. Nice when zoomed.
The painted surface of the boot of a car, stained and eroded by exposure to the elements, including exposure to falling ash from a forest fire (the black bits). Region shown is about 60cm across.
Sand ripples at the edge of a lake in Potsdam, Germany.
Row of vortices shed by a fish swimming (from 5 o'clock to 11 o'clock in this picture). Although they're individually spun off by the flap of the fish tail, they otherwise resemble a von Karman vortex street formed by alternating eddies shed from an obstacle in a viscous flow. Scale here is maybe 3m left to right and 8m top to bottom (foreshortened picture from bridge over a lake). I waited forever to get a better vortex sheet - this remained the best I saw.
Morning fog in a gently-sloped river valley, Buellton, CA.
Fog bank crossing US101 in Buellton, CA.
Cracked ice puddle on a grass hillside.
Wind-blown snow field on ploughed ground. Wavelength about a foot.
20 cm patch of snow. Black bits are debris from pine trees nearby. The surface has been partially melted and refrozen with the day-night cycle, so the grain size is quite large and most of the pine bits are embedded. [zoom]
High brightness cut of the same image, show distribution of glints.
Glass fracture pattern, amazingly symmetric, made when my head hit a stressed glass window at NRAO. The pattern extended vertically about 3 to 4 feet from the point of impact, yet has tiny symmetric structures (like the central butterfly wings) only a few millimeters across. This was a triple layer safety window about 8 ft tall - only the middle window fractured. The outer panels held the cracked fragments in-place, luckily for me.
Magnificent convective column show several classic features. At the bottom is the flat base where ascending water condenses out. Visually, but less obvious in this picture, the flat base was not horizontal, maybe caused by a wedge effect between two airmasses (I'm guessing). The column corkscrews as it rises, completing about 1.5 or 2 turns in total. This is initial angular momentum picked up from shearing winds and amplified. At the top, the column overshoots into warmer air and is no longer bouyant, falling out into a flattened, asymmetric disk-like structure. Behind the column, rain or ice grains fall out in opaque sheets.
My plane was at 30,000ft over Kansas (headed west) and we took 10 minutes to pass this thing to our south at 500 mph. From this, I judge that it was about 15 km tall (> scale height!), 4 km wide at the base and roughly 75 km away. The overshoot disk was about 80 km in diameter and perhaps 1km thick, full of organized, seemingly spiral structure.
The column from slightly further west.
This is roughly a Megaton of TNT, in energy. A nuclear bomb.
Mammiform clouds falling from the underside of the overshoot disk in the same cloud. I have to say they look a bit like Rayleigh-Taylor instabilities, but I don't think that is the accepted origin of mammiform clouds. Wispy streaks show precipitation from this massive plug of water shoved up into a dry place and you can see the spiral structure in the disk, albeit highly foreshortened. About an hour before sunset, you can see low-level convective clouds near the ground.
I put the full photo set here
Fresh (<24 hr) lava erupted from the flanks of Kilauea. Fresh lava appears silvery because it is coated in glass formed by rapid cooling of the surface skin. After a few days the glass breaks off by thermal fracture and mechanical stresses, and the surface becomes dull. The cool surface layer here is about 10cm thick - glowing red lava was visible underneath several of the sack-like bags. The surface did not deform under my weight and there is no danger of sinking in because the lava is dense, but it's so hot you could easily die from making contact through the conductively-cooled crust. Even the radiant heat from this patch was intense.
Viscous flow in a 2ft wide section of freshly erupted lava, still slightly glassy, with thermally fractured plates littering the scene. The color in this picture is quite accurate. Looks good in the zoom tool.
Dendritic desert drainage channels highlighted by hardy shrubs. Approaching Phoenix, Az.
Los Angeles from the south at about 5000 ft at 9am. The invisible coast is horizontal about 1/5 the way up from the bottom. Foreground cloud is the marine layer, which extends inland a few km. Haze fills the low region bounded by the fold mountains at the back of the basin. The passenger behind me said "look at all that smog", but none of it is smog. I frequently hear that from people. But when I see real yellow smog, in SF, Salt Lake City, Baltimore....others never mention it. Notice the 767 descending on the left side of the picture.
Wildfire, northern California, facing east from a 737 at 32,000 ft headed north. I saw about 6 distinct fires in the course of a 2.5 hr flight. This was the biggest one.
Markings in Ying's garage. The pattern resembles convection cells, especially solar granulation patterns. I suspect that these *are* formed by convection, presumably in wet concrete self-heated by the exothermic hydration reaction. Largest cells here are about 8cm across. The cells extended over about 2 meters of the concrete floor: this is the most distinct portion.

Chocolate, showing fat separation from storage at too high a temperature. About a cm-sized piece.
Meandering river trapped between mountain ridges, west of the Massanutten, Virginia. The strange thing is that wide meanders imply slow flow and small slope, but the terrain around the river looks quite lumpy. Looking south-west in the middle afternoon.
Meanders abutting linear ridge mountains. The picture was taken into the sun through a dirty airplane window, and has been stretched. Airplane was over Front Royal, Virginia: the Massanutten ridges represent an eroded syncline. My puzzlement here is that the sinuous river shape is normally formed on a nearly flat plane, but here it seems to cut into quite steep slopes. The left and right sides of the wave are symmetric, as well, which doesn't seem consistent with the asymmetry in the rock, left vs. right.
Lunar lowlands (Apollo 11 soil sample on the left) and lunar highlands (Apollo 16 sample on the right). Note the difference in albedo. Dishes are about 10cm in diameter.
Top-side view of stratus clouds with weakly developed convection evidently capped by a temperature inversion (hence the flat top). This was "marine layer" cloud over Los Angeles when we took off. It was perhaps 1000 ft - 1500 ft thick. The cloud continued unbroken to Hawaii, but the character, especially the degree of convection, changed with distance.
View of the same clouds a couple of minutes later from a greater altitude.
The orange layer is real but it's hard to see what might have caused it. The picture was taken far from the coast (maybe 200 or 300 miles) and the orange layer is strongest towards the west (i.e. even further from land).
Organized convection in stratus clouds over the Pacific. I guess these are classified as stratocumulus clouds. By this time the sun had been up all day, causing the more pronounced overturn.
Dust devil, maybe 70 m tall.
Burned pine tree bark, Yosemite. Region about 1 ft across.
Convergent cloud shadows viewed from a plane descending into murky skies above Boston. The 767 shadow is visible as a tiny dot at the convergence point (the antisolar point).
Counterpart to this phenomenon in which waves and ripples focus and defocus sunlight, casting "shadows" into the deeper water that appear convergent about the sun-viewer line. The black blob is the shadow of my head. The black region is the shadow of Santa Barbara pier, about 25 feet above the water. The bright specks are glints. The water-level field of view here is about 30 feet.
Exfoliating limestone, Wupatki National Monument, near Flagstaff, AZ.
Strange, almost vine-like landscape on hills next to the town of San Lucas, CA (south of San Jose). The characteristic brown color is of the lifeless hill surface but where it is disturbed, a bright white material shows through.

More periodic gravel patches, wavelength about 7 or 8 meters, a few miles south of Los Osos. Maybe the instability occurs when water on the beach finds a quick way to drain, making a fast-flow channel that strips pebbles. The periodicity might come from the relative ease of draining sideways into the nearest channel vs. finding a new channel straight to the sea. If so, the spacing should depend on beach slope, with steeper beaches having smaller pebble mound wavelengths. But it must depend on the pebble size, shape and many other things. And they don't occur everywhere.

Sergio Perez believes he is very well prepared for the start of the 2013 season after working with his new McLaren team during the winter.
The Mexican is joining the British squad after two years at Sauber, and will partner Jenson Button during the upcoming season after replacing Lewis Hamilton.
Speaking during the launch of the new MP4-28, Perez hailed the preparation work he has gone through since he joined McLaren, saying he has never been fitter in his life.
"We have done an incredible job to prepare ourselves," said Perez. "I have never been this fit and still have one month to go, so I am enthusiastic.
"When I come here, I work through like Ayrton [Senna], my idol, so it is a very good motivation."
Perez said he has already spent a significant amount of time working with McLaren's simulator before taking to the track at Jerez next week.
"So far I have done more or less 15-20 days in the simulator. Obviously I am not very used to a simulator. It's the first time that I have worked so much with one and it has been good and I am really getting used to the car.
"The feeling is quite different. It's not so easy to feel the car in the simulator. I have done good improvements in terms of understanding the simulator and understanding the [set-up] changes.
"The most important thing for me is to understand car and understand what issues I might have when we get to testing and racing."
The McLaren driver admitted it was hard to judge how competitive McLaren will be until it gets to the first race in Australia.
"There are no guarantees. I haven't tried the McLaren yet," he said. "The most important thing is to maximise our potential, maximise our understanding.
"It will be difficult in winter testing to have an understanding, but once we get to Melbourne when it is hot we will have a better idea of the tyres."

Even though this is somewhat of a plugin specific question, I decided to post in the support forums in case anyone like me runs into the same problem.
The issue: my site is undergoing a restructure, and I'm hoping to have the main blog at glot.homepie.org and a predetermined category at wordglot.homepie.org. I have set up both the category and the theme/template with an identical name ("wordglot.homepie.org") and uploaded that theme to the local subdomain, per instructions. You can see it there now as the page is only displaying the generic Apache index. Of course, that's not really how it's supposed to work.

Dr. Richardson's research focuses on studying DNA repair defects and how they result in cancer. She and her collaborators have found a number of genomic biomarkers termed "genomic scars" that can predict tumor sensitivity to specific types of therapy. BRCA1 is a key gene involved in DNA repair and loss of BRCA1 is associated with increased level of mutations in tumors. One aspect of her BCRF project this year is to determine if having just one bad copy of BRCA1 is enough to induce genetic damage and mutations. Using genetic engineering approaches, she will artificially insert a single BRCA1 mutation in normal breast cells and then study the cells to see if they develop increased numbers of mutations or genomic damage. Her team is also using sequence analysis of normal breast tissue from women who carry a BRCA1 mutation in their germline DNA to see if other mutations are present in ostensibly normal breast tissue from these women. An additional component of this work is to evaluate the interrelationship between tumor-infiltrating immune cells, called lymphocytes, and the level of tumor genomic damage. It is well recognized that the immune system plays an important role in tumor growth and survival. Recent studies have shown that the more lymphocytes present in a tumor, the better the patient's prognosis. Dr. Richardson's team will study a group of tumors for the levels of lymphocytes seen under a microscope, and use gene sequencing analysis of the same tumors to measure the levels of genomic scars. Collectively, these studies will lead to better risk assessment and better outcomes in breast cancer through more personalized patient care.
Dr. Andrea L. Richardson is an Associate Professor of Pathology and Director of the Pathology Community Practice Division at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, where she moved in 2015 after more than eight years on the faculty of Brigham and Women's Hospital, Harvard Medical School in Boston. She maintains an active clinical practice on the breast pathology consultation service. Her research focus is breast cancer genetics and pathobiology. She is actively engaged in translational breast cancer research, frequently with multi-disciplinary teams. Dr. Richardson has extensive experience in tissue-based molecular assays. Her laboratory research has focused on characterizing the molecular aberrations in subtypes of breast cancer important for pathogenesis, tumor progression, and tumor response to therapy.

Skip to comments.Democrat Wexler Smears Sarah Palin as "Nazi Sympathizer" Sympathizer
Posted on 08/29/2008 7:18:21 PM PDT by kristinn
Democrat Congressman Robert Wexler of Florida (and Maryland) tonight smeared Republican vice presidential pick Sarah Palin as a Nazi sympathizer sympathizer.
Wexler, who represents a district with a significant Jewish population, threw out the vile charge after a 1999 Associated Press article reported Palin was seen wearing a Pat Buchanan for president button on a visit by Buchanan to Wasilla, Alaska when she was mayor.
Ben Smith at the Politico published Wexler's statement:
John McCain's decision to select a vice presidential running mate that endorsed Pat Buchanan for President in 2000 is a direct affront to all Jewish Americans. Pat Buchanan is a Nazi sympathizer with a uniquely atrocious record on Israel, even going as far as to denounce bringing former Nazi soldiers to justice and praising Adolf Hilter for his "great courage."
At a time when standing up for Israel's right to self-defense has never been more critical, John McCain has failed his first test of leadership and judgment by selecting a running mate who has aligned herself with a leading anti-Israel voice in American politics. It is frightening that John McCain would select someone one heartbeat away from the presidency who supported a man who embodies vitriolic anti-Israel sentiments.
Smith reports Palin denied at the time endorsing Buchanan:
She promptly responded to the story in a letter to the editor, that "the article may have left your readers with the perception that I am endorsing this candidate, as opposed to welcoming his visit to Wasilla. As mayor, I will welcome all the candidates in Wasilla."
Smith adds that the AP reported Palin was "an official of Steve Forbes' campaign that cycle."
Tonight on Hardball, Buchanan said Palin "brigadier for me" in 1996 and that Palin and her husband attended a fundraiser for him.
Smith notes that it doesn't appear Palin donated to Buchanan's campaigns.
The left is going to milk this for all it's worth. Wexler is one of the nastiest pieces of work in the Democratic party. His smear of Palin as a Nazi sympathizer sympathizer is par for the course.
What this makes the Democratic party's own cable news channel, MSNBC, which pays Buchanan to offer his opinions on a daily basis, Wexler doesn't say. Maybe he'll ask Obama to boycott MSNBC like he boycott's Fox.
heh heh.. it's funny to watch the left become unhinged.
Wexler is a nasty man. He tried to help Gore steal the election in 2000 down in Florida.
These are the same people who said John Hagee was happy about the Holocaust...
Nonsense, who are they going to believe, Wexler or Joe Lieberman?
Using the same """Logic""" ... Wexler is a STALIN Sympathizer. The LIberals really want to go there??
rats are coming out of the basement
Wexler is the lowest piece of slime that exists. Sadly, he's my representative. I did pass a one of his yard signs the other day. Someone had spray painted JAIL over his face. What a beautiful fantasy that would be.
Wexler is such a VILE man, he really needs Praying for.
I love the smell of Democrat desperation any time of the day.
You just can not please a democrat!
I'm sorry, but since when doesn't a Democrap call a Republican a NAZI?
If this is the best they can do, they are in trouble indeed.
Obama's campaign called Stanley Kurtz a smear artist for writing truths about Obama's relationship with "terrorist" William Ayers. Will it also condemn Wexler for smearing Palin as an anti-semite because she once supported Pat Buchanan?
"its funny to watch the left become unhinged."
They've been unhinged for years, now they're falling apart.
Whom the gods would destroy, they first make mad.
wexler is a pathetic little pustule
Obama was endorsed by HAMAS.
Wexler is such a sleazebag. I hope the Commie 'RATS like Wexler keep this up. They are digging themselves a hole that we Americans are going to bury them in.
Note to Wexler: Allowing Iran to develop nuclear weapons is the real affront to Jewish Americans and Israel.
May Wexler's tongue turn black and shrivel before he swallows it and chokes as richly befits a politician of his caliber.
Wexler is done, like a dinner.
He was told to take one for the team, on his way out the door.
See you under the bus, Wex.........
Another Democrat Lunatic
They are going to screw themselves more and more each day because they are running scared! LOL LOVE IT!!!!!!!
Good luck in trying to paint this lovely down to earth pleasant normal accomplished lady as a nazi.
This may sound un-Christian of me, but there are greater issues that require the Good Lord's attention.
BUMP for all of the deragatory comments about Wexler. He deserves them.
Who cares what that phony Floridian thinks.
What I want to say will get me suspended for sure!
She wore a Buchanann pin 8 years ago?
Are you series?
Oh, the hugh manatee!
LOL! I was thinking the same thing....shame on us..I guess.
Indeed. The problem though is. He thinks he needs praying to.
They will work to dig up dirt. This is about power!
As a Jew, I can say that Wexler is a disgrace to our religion, and I usually don't hold a person's religion as a litmus test for sanity. However, Wexler is a perversion of everything a decent Jew (or Christian or Moslem) stands for.
I call upon all my religious brethren to put politics aside and denounce this psychopathic smuck in the strongest terms.
If he represents Broward County, then I understand why this ahole got elected. I used to work for Herb Burke (R-Fla) who was a real gentleman. His Democratic Party successors were political amateurs and degenerates.
To my long-lost relatives in Florida - what the hell have you done?
He uses his mother-in-law's address as his own and she lives in what is an adult only community.
He finally admitted that his home where he lives is in Maryland, when he was confronted with all the evidence.
He now says he is buying/renting a place in FL.
How can the people of FL be so stupid?!?
She wore a Buchanan pin because he was visiting her town. She supported Forbes that year. Wexler is an idiot, we've known that for years. But if the RNC had the Gaffe-a-matic running on Wexler instead of Biden, you'd have to switch to some unit smaller than seconds.
I really think the DNC is in full panic mode. They didnt see this coming and they know America is going to love Sarah Palin! As a conservative I know I have not been this happy in a long time.
That is really sick.
Just today I called the friend who originally convinced me to support McCain. He brought me to a McCain talk here in New York during the primary and I found McCain to be nothing short of Reaganesque in person ... a quality that never came through the MSM filter until the Saddleback forum.
I told my friend at the time that if McCain showed his Reaganesque side in his VP choice I would donate the max to his campaign. I called him today and said sign me up. He said he was thrilled about the choice of Palin and was receiving similar responses from many others. Oh, and by the way, my friend is Jewish.
Freepers, go to the McCain website right now and donate as much as you can.
In the box labeled "referred by" write "Sarah Palin".
Did you know he does not even live in FL?
Can you say ,"desperation", boys and girls? I knew you could!!
the infowarrior
And thanks to stupid Democrats voting in error (ballot designed by Democrats) for Buchanan because we do not have a POTUS Algore.
Let's see: Wexler belongs to the party that supports Hamas, and doesn't even live in the district he's paid to represent. Yeah, he's believeable.
He is a typical democrat who subscribes to the John Edwards theory of Two Americas.
In his view, everyday people reside in one America and must observe the law.
The other America is where the privileged, the wealthy, and the politicians (like Wexler) live and where the laws do not apply.
This selection has completely taken the obamation speech off the front pages.
Palin has a solid record:
FWIW: VoteMatchQuiz, Palin is a Moderate Populist Conservative.
We must never forget that the Washington Post helped Jim Webb in his campaign against Senator Allen by trashing Senator Allen's mother for being Jewish in WWII.
That scarfs up a certain type of voter in Virginia who hates Negroes, Catholics and Jews.
In most years they don't vote, but the Post made common cause with them, and Wexler makes common cause with the Post.
Lie down withdogs like that and you wake up with your own NAZI party mange.
This Wexler puke is the worst.

Anxiety disorders are among the most prevalent mental health difficulties experienced by youth. A well-established literature has identified cognitive-behavior therapy (CBT) as the gold-standard psychosocial treatment for youth anxiety disorders. Access to CBT in community clinics is limited, but a potential venue for the provision of CBT for child anxiety disorders is the school setting. The present study examined a subset of data from a larger study in which therapists from a variety of settings, including schools, were trained in CBT for child anxiety (N = 17). The study investigated the relationship between provider- and organizational-level variables associated with training and implementation among school mental health providers. The present findings indicate a positive relationship between provider attitudes and adherence to CBT. Self-reported barriers to implementation were also identified. Integrating CBT into school mental health providers' repertoires through training and consultation is a critical step for dissemination and implementation of empirically supported psychosocial treatments.

The Debate on Bus Regulation
Dr Hibbs argues for constraints upon the 'twin evils' that might be expected to arise in an unregulated market - the fly-by-night operator seeking a quick profit, and the large undertaking 'competing to kill' and thus stifling initiative and innovation, but adds the proviso that it might be possible to dismantle even these constraints after a period of adjustment.

Departure Time
In recent years there has been a steady erosion of the anti-competitive regulatory environment which was established in international aviation after the war. This briefing document outlines the history of IATA in fixing international air fares and the advantages claimed to be derived from it. The benefits claimed from IATA fare fixing are questionable. A number of alternatives to IATA such as zones of competition in air fares, licensing of non-IATA airlines, the deregulation of airline ticket retailing, charter airlines, and discounting are examined. These markets account for approximately thirty million air passenger per year in the United Kingdom.
The costs of IATA price fixing include the loss of regulatory authority and influence from governments to airlines, reduced airline efficiency due to price collusion, inefficient air[airports, neglect of the consumer interest, losses of tourist revenues, and increased costs to the traded goods sectors.
The Civil Aviation Authority should require that airlines submit their tariffs independently of the deliberations of IATA on fares. In this way the regulatory authority should establish a programme of promoting price competition between airlines.

Milking the Consumer
The marketing of milk must be one of the most labyrinthine attempts protect producer interests in an economy that has seen more than its fair share of such systems. The tragedy is that, precisely because it is so cumbersome, the damage done to producers and consumers alike when it finally collapses will be that much more severe. This report is a fascinating document in economy history. It traces in meticulous detail the originals of the present milk marketing arrangements in the UK, and shows how the system grew and grew until it was completely divorced from market reality.

The Job-Creation Machine
One of the most enduring myths in British political life is that additional employment can be generated by increasing spending in the public sector. Argument takes place about how much of this activity can be done "safely," about the levels of inflation which are "acceptable" when it is done, and, above all, how much of it "should" be done by a compassionate and caring government. The debate seems to take place between those who urge that government should engage in higher spending to create jobs immediately, and those who claim that other priorities are more important. A situation can be arrived at in which a government which refuses to increase public spending finds itself accused of being hard-hearted and not caring about the plight of the unemployed.

Public Hospitals, Private Management
The British public's view of the National Health Service of today ranges from complacency to rage, from delight to despair.

This diversity of opinion becomes particularly extreme, and particularly vociferous, when te hospital sector is mentioned. It is this sector that is the subject of this pamphlet.

The Road to Social Democracy
Foreword by Dr Eamonn Butler Who are the intellectual successors of the powerful viewpoint expressed by George Orwell - that most influential of twentieth-century writers? Conservatives cite in their favour Orwell's penetrating anti-totalitarianism. Socialists, on the other hand, point to his hatred of the class system and his strong instinct to side with the underprivileged.
The contributors to this publication argue that Orwell would not sit easily between the political divides of the present day. Yet they believe that much of his work betrays, at the very deepest level, the very same concerns and principles that have led to emergence of the Social Democratic Party - a party that has been a rallying point for those, who like Orwell, have shrunk back from the totalitarian implications of so-called 'radical policies'...

Predictable criticism of Oilers' Russian forward Nail Yakupov begins
|Yakupov isn't having the best tournament but he's been strong in the KHL. (Getty Images)
Oilers No. 1 draft pick Nail Yakupov hasn't even played a game in the NHL yet and already questions are being raised about his attitude.
Not that it's warranted, mind you. But the Russian forward, whose desire to play in the NHL was doubted by many despite the fact that he moved to Canada to play major junior hockey and get more exposure, is being criticized for his lack of talking as captain of Russia's World Junior team.
Because of that, some in the Canadian media -- Edmonton media in particular -- are wasting no time in casting judgment on Yakupov the teammate.
So Nail Yakupov doesn't do post-game interviews in Ufa after another quiet game. Kid making people wonder on and off the ice.— Terry Jones (@sunterryjones) January 2, 2013
First time I listened to Nail Yakupov speak at 2012WJC, I thought he had major prima donna potential. Haven't changed mind yet.— Cam Cole (@rcamcole) January 2, 2013
It's time for igor larionov to tell his client nail yakupov that wearing the C means you talk. Kid needs wake-up call— Jim Matheson (@NHLbyMatty) January 2, 2013
Those tweets in order are from Terry Jones of the Edmonton Sun, Cam Cole of the Vancouver Sun and Jim Matheson of the Edmonton Journal. They said it all minus actually labeling Yakupov the dreaded term for almost every Russian in hockey: an enigma.
To recap the situation here, the Russian team narrowly escaped a major upset in the tournament by the Swiss in the quarterfinals with a shootout win on Wednesday. In the game, Yakupov didn't really shine; those honors went to Sabres prospect Mikhail Grigorenko and a pair of Lightning prospects, Nikita Kucherov and goaltender Andrei Vasilevski.
Russia won the game and that should have been that; if Yakupov didn't want to talk, end of story. There were plenty of other players to speak to, including fellow Oilers prospect Daniil Zharkov.
It seems Yakupov can't do anything right. When he spoke before the Juniors began, he made a comment about the Canadians playing dirty. He was ripped for it, including by Don Cherry, before he recanted. From there, Yakupov said he wasn't going to talk until just before the game against Canada, which he did.
He talks and speaks his mind, he gets criticized. He doesn't speak, he gets criticized. He tweets interesting things, he gets criticized. Pretty soon he's going to be another walking, talking cliché if the criticism keeps up -- just what pro sports need.
I'd like to say it's a bit surprising, but really it's not. The enigmatic Russian narrative is told all the time in hockey, and no one gets the heat more so than the enigmatic tale of the most enigmatic enigma hockey has ever known, Alexander Semin.
I understand players have a responsibility to speak to the media after games; it's reasonable for journalists to get upset about that, particularly if it is a recurring issue. To be frustrated at his lack of talking is one thing. But to take it another step and start throwing out phrases like prima donna is another. The guy was named captain of his national team, for Pete's sake. That should count for something.
For a player who was the pretty clear pick for No. 1 overall, there are an awful lot of questions being raised. But if he was good enough for the Oilers to take first (and for any other team who would have had the chance), he should be good enough for the critics, especially before he even plays in the NHL. He is already getting the Evander-Kane-in-Winnipeg treatment.
In the World Junior tournament, Yakupov has one goal and four assists in five games, not exactly what people expected. However, in the KHL this season he has 10 goals with eight assists in 22 games against much more experienced competition.

I'm having trouble removing items from the sidebar in the finder window. I can right click on Applications, and ill have options for it saying "remove from sidebar". However, I have a lot of things on my sidebar that don't even let right click on them and remove them. How do I go about removing things from the sidebar?
On Lion, items that cannot be removed from the sidebar are usually listed under "Devices" or "Shared" (there are Snow Leopard counterparts to these as well). If you'd rather not see these items in the sidebar, you can remove them by following these steps.

Unless you don't use social media or you've taken a vacation from social media this summer, then you've probably seen a photo or video of a friend or celebrity being doused in icy cold water in the name of charity. What is this all about? Well, the premise is simple. If someone nominates you, then you have 24 hours to dump a bucket of ice water over your head or you must make a donation to an ALS related charity.
Not everyone is just having fun with this social media phenomenon. It appears some are actually donating to ALS charities. In fact, the ALS Association and its chapters say they have received $4 million in donations compared with just $1.2 million during the same period last year. And it says that it has picked up >70,000 new donors. That's music to the ears of people living with this insidious disease that has no cure!
While there is no disputing that this campaign has raised awareness and funding, there are some concerns about it.
Our main concern at Charity Navigator with such gimmicky fundraising appeals is that they perpetuate the lack of discussion around what should be the core issue – the charity's impact and thus true worthiness of support. So, before you dump ice cold water over your head and make a donation, take the time to investigate ALS related charities to find one that matches your passion - from those that support research for a cure to those that promote awarness. Start by checking out the ALS related charities in the right-hand column that have a high rating from Charity Navigator.

Page updated 7/26/16: Caldron Falls Bar & Grill goes at it again; Human foosball replaces pig wrestling! Stoughton fair cancels pig wrestling! Hug-a-pig denounced. "Is pig wrasslin' a crime?" scroll down to 'NEW' arrow. Don't miss "Hog Wild" mini-doc on Vimeo (somewhere under 'new' arrow), and Campbell Co. (WY) Fair video (scroll to bottom).
PIG WRESTLING…not sporting, fun, or humane
This resource page was created in response to the 2011 Western Montana Fair pig wrestling "contest." No such event has been part of the succeeding fairs. Scroll down for articles and advocacy.
In 2011, the Western Montana Fair announced free entertainment: Pig wrestling. A medical clinic was among the sponsors.
Wrestling, as a sport, is contested by two human opponents, evenly matched, each of whom enters into the match voluntarily with mutually agreed-upon rules and a common goal. Not so in "matches" like pig wrestling, where frightened animals are unwilling participants exploited by teams of humans for entertainment. One species' fun is another species' terror–is this so hard to grasp?
It's easy enough to contact a radio station, protest, and switch to another channel. It's not so easy to change doctors and clinics. Letting sponsors know that we (their listeners, customers, and clients) object to this exploitive treatment of animals is our trump card–along with calling them out publicly–so Other Nations encouraged consumers to contact sponsors of the 2011 event. Remaining polite and offering education is key–it behooves us to assume that decision-makers who involved their businesses as sponsors never gave much thought to the emotional and physical toll taken on frightened animals thrown in a pen with four humans intent on capturing and dumping them in a bucket while throngs of onlookers scream. Speciesism has a way of making us blind to the suffering of nonhuman animals.
Pig wrestling might not seem terribly important in the grand scheme of things when much greater and more heinous animal abuse and exploitation exist as a routine matter, but small injustices enable larger ones. Every objection (phone calls, e-mails, letters to the editor, Facebook posts, etc.) has the potential to raise awareness about animal exploitation and bring change. In a relatively small venue like this, we can bring pressure to bear on decision-makers who might deliberate more thoughtfully and compassionately in the future when approached to sponsor animal-exploiting events.
Not only is pig wrestling stupid, it's mean, too. And meanness is not entertaining. Let's find a civil and enlightening way to relay this message to sponsors, fair promoters, and the public.
OTHER NATIONS BLOG POST: "Pig wrestling: Small injustices enable larger ones" An activist from Indiana contacted me (summer 2013) about pig wrestling at her local county fair; this piece includes a short section on another abusive competition at fairs and rodeos: mutton bustin'. Find it here.
OTHER NATIONS BLOG POST: "Sheep dressing, pig wrestling, chicken scrambling: Bullies are made, not born" Abusive behavior masquerades as "good, old-fashioned fun," providing an important lesson for young kids being schooled in the ways of animal agriculture. Find it here…it includes many additional links.
FROM THE HOOSIER STATE: Rated AI-GWC for appalling ignorance and gut-wrenching cruelty.
7/26/16: Caldron Falls Bar & Grill's stupid cruelty, here. Check out their Facebook page. Ouch!
7/11/16: Human foosball replaces pig rassle – This is the Catholic parish in Wisconsin that drew such intense and widespread criticism last year. Kudos to them on a creative alternative! Here.
***Animal rights group denounces Monroe County fair's Hug-A-Pig – here.
***Stoughton fair cancels pig wrestling amid pressure from city, online petition – here.
6/6/16: No Pig Wrestling in WI; petition: No pig wrestling in Stoughton, WI; article: "Is pig wrasslin' a crime?"
8/21/15: Valmy (WI) Thresheree pig wrestling
8/14/15: Confederate flag-waving pig wrestlers in Utah manhandle not only pigs…but animal rights activists as well…here.
7/17/15: Petition to Whitley County (IN) fair to cancel pig wrestling, here
5/17/15: "Can hog wrestling, rodeos survive in the internet age?" – Indy Star
"Hog wrestling promoter: Hogs not harmed" – (you knew he'd say that!) Muncie, IN Star Press
5/15/15: "Slammed for cruelty: pig wrestling" – Whitley Co. (IN) 4-H fair event comes under scrutiny. Check out the appallingly ignorant comments at the local newspaper's FB page (e.g. in response to my comment about sentience, "Sentient means thinking. Pigs don't think.") A Change.org petition has been started here. This Other Nations post was also prompted by an activist who contacted me about this same 4-H fair: "Pig wrestling: Small injustices enable larger one." Also, scroll down (July 2013) for a bit more from Whitley Co., Indiana.
5/14/15: "Angry Indiana fair board cancels hog wrestling" Indy Star
4/22/15: "After backlash, parish will not host another 'pig wrestling' event" here (Stephensville, WI)
2/10/15: Pig wrestling at Harrison Co. (Corydon) Indiana 2015 fair: info and petition here
8/7/14: "Pig wrestling debate in Stephensville (WI)" includes newscast video, here; Global Conservation Group (animal advocates) here. So this is why the Other Nations pig wrestling page has been getting so many hits from Wisconsin! Later that day…It gets even better. Catholic Online has caught wind of the controversy and is taking the parish to task for dodging inquiries. THIS is why standing up for animals and raising awareness is so critical…it's the only way we'll bring about change.
8/2/14 Sainte-Perpétue pig festival condemned by animal rights advocates; Humane Society deems festival's pig wrestling competition 'incredibly cruel,' town forbids protests – here
7/16/14 NW Montana Fair (Kalispell): "Join in the fast paced excitement of Relay Races…Enjoy the squeals and thrills of Pig Wrestling as teams compete in the mud for the championship." To round out the exploitation, there's also the odiously-named mutton bustin' and a full-on rodeo! View entry forms here. Hope some of our Flathead friends are using this Other Nations page to formulate some awareness-raising letters to editors!
***7/4/14 – Vimeo mini-documentary (10 minutes): "Hog Wild" filmed at the Viroqua, WI Wild West Days. Watch mini-doc here; see Wild West Day's hog wrestling photo album here. This year's exercise in pig abuse is scheduled for 8/15/15.
2014 Gallatin County (Montana) Fair – Mutton Bustin' and Pig Wrestling: Wed., July 16, info here; video footage from a previous year, here.
July 2013 Whitley Co. (IN): With summer comes fairs and celebrations that include the cruel absurdity of pig wrestling. The contest rules for the Whitley County (IN) 4-H fair pig wrestling contest say it all:
8. Team must catch and place the hog on the barrel in the middle of the ring with bare hands in 45 seconds or less. NO ARTIFICIAL CATCH DEVICES INCLUDING GLOVES, HOOKS OR SPIKES or UNNECESSARY CRUELTY will be tolerated. Teams will be disqualified by the judges if team members abuse the hog.
That's right, no unnecessary cruelty! Necessary cruelty, however, WILL be tolerated, because pig wrestling is inherently cruel. To see photos from last year's event, click here.
Whitley County is far from alone, however. Here's one more example, this one from the Utah County Fair (linked below).
Rules of the event prohibit anything or action which may cause harm to the pig. The barrel is even partially filled with bedding which pads the pigs rear-end when placed in the barrel. AND…..Pigs love mud!
Yes, pigs love mud–on their own terms and for their own well-being. It's clear that organizers of these crass contests are feeling some heat; it behooves animal advocates to keep the pressure on. Letters to editors of local papers, guest columns, messages of concern to sponsors, Facebook posts (link to this page!) even outreach efforts at the contest itself–just one person can make a difference. More than one? Even better. Don't remain silent. (Photo above from nopigwrestling.org; link provided below.)
OTHER NATIONS BLOG POST: "Sheep dressing, pig wrestling, chicken scrambling: Bullies are made, not born" – Yup, it's summer fair season, when domesticated "livestock" are wrestled, dressed, and scrambled against their will. Kids are learning that it's OK to bully animals. Click here to read.
8/12/13 – From the Fort Wayne Journal Gazette: …as entertaining as pig wrestling is sure to be, it also gives city dwellers another chance to interact with an actual farm animal, which is always something to squeal about. "A lot of people come out to see the animals because you don't get that in the city and you just can't go to a farm … It's a good way for adults to see the animals and teach their kids about them." Um, teach them that they're sentient? Feel fear? Pain? Deserve respect?….nah. Article here– Link is no longer active, but the quote is so ludicrous I thought I'd leave it up.
Campaign underway against WI pig wrestling-here
Caldron Falls Bar & Grill hog wrestling: Check out the ludicrous text – Never before has there been such a display of skill and strength, brain and brawn, mind and might. …The porkers are clearly in their element, the competitors clearly are not. The whole thing ends up being a tremendous amount of fun. Includes photo album…here.
More info & resources in a disorderly format:

Related newspaper article here. Additionally, just google "pig wrestling YouTube" for a lovely selection of videos!
2011–Slide show: Mud wrestling pigs at the Northwest Montana Fair (Flathead Beacon) (note: seems to have been removed!). Don't miss the comments–here's a typical Montana response: "…go back to the city where you belong. This is Montana, where farmers live. Where pigs are pigs, not humans. Don't like it, don't go…don't watch it…don't read about it. That simple." Can't stomach the cruelty? Go back to city. Brilliant.
2010–Pig wrestling event draws ire of animal rights group: read it here. Notable quotes: "There's no necessity to have a gladiatorial display of human brawn against an animal who doesn't want to participate." "…pigs have high intelligence and just because they are being raised to be slaughtered, doesn't mean people can be cruel to them."
2008– County axes greased pig contest: County commissioners stopped a "greased pig" contest from going forward at a West Virginia county fair thanks to citizen protest. Read it here. Kudos to the man who protested the abuse–AND to Upshur Co., WV!
From Wikipedia: Concerns have been raised by animal rights organizations that using pigs in this form of entertainment is inhumane,[5][4] since the pigs have no choice in the matter of whether they want to wrestle or not. The wrestling may impose undue emotional stress on the pigs, as evidenced by fearful squealing, and causes physical torsional stress on the pigs' joints. Some fairs have thus eliminated pig wrestling from their events.[6] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pig_wrestling
**Pig wrestling? Heck no! from the PETA files.
**Tri-County Fair 2014, Winnemucca, NV – "All proceeds are donated to local Charities (sic) chosen by the first and second place teams." Charity is no excuse for animal abuse!
**Clueless in Utah: Utah County Fair 2013 – good "old-fashioned" family fun for all ages
**Pig Wrestling on Facebook: Click.
**Dozens wrestle pigs: Baltimore Sun (2008) Quote: "Farmers are struggling. My friend in Pennsylvania added this to his summertime activities and has had great success. The community and church support it, even the Boy Scouts. They draw unbelievable crowds."
**Is pig wrestling cruel? From the Deseret News (note: article is dated 1989)
And for an unenlightened view from the Hoosier state (2011): A writer at the Greene County Daily World trivializes humane concerns and in a stunning display of inhumanity and illogic justifies the "entertainment" because pigs are raised to go to slaughter. "That is what market hogs do. They are raised to go to market to be consumed." Sorry, this page has been removed. Hmmm, wonder why?
"I think we're gonna hammer that pig today. Gonna slam 'er right to the ground, git all muddy and throw that pig in the 55 gallon drum and…win everything!" Campbell County is in northeast Wyoming. This video is disgusting and difficult to watch on several levels.

Just wondering if anyone uses these programs and if you feel they are worth the subscription cost. DS is starting to max out on the free content on starfall. Is there anything else out there? Should I buy the subscription?
ABC Mouse or Starfall

We have used Starfall since my son was about a year. He learned all of his sounds and letters with them by the time he was 2 with other reinforcements of course.
We just paid the $35 for one year upgrade for the extended Starfall and I was just telling my sister it is the best $35 I have spent on him yet! Just this week he started using the mouse by himself and computer. We let him use the computer in the living room and he can do everything by himself on Starfall. He is going to all of the sections with numbers, colors, singing some of the songs, and even saying the three letter words on "CAT machine part. He is having a tough time with clicking and dragging items for the "skills tests" at the end but other than that he is doing great. I don't let him watch any TV and only three videos so this is the main media "treat" for him as I feel it is very educational since it is phoenics based.
I highly recommend Starfall!
I have JUST heard about Starfall and have been meaning to check it out. My son loves anything to do with the computers/ipods. I will definitely check it out!

We use the upgraded version of starfall. Ds loves it. He especially loves the word machines and the talking books. I think the upgrade was worth it.
Thanks ladies. I guess nobody tried ABC Mouse. I think you can do $8 monthly fee so I may give it a try.

Definición de crone en inglés:
- He is not the ideal spokesman to challenge a double standard that celebrates older fathers as randy old goats, but shudders at older mothers as unnatural crones.
- What's the difference between a crone, witch and hag again?
- Originally, witches were nasty old crones who made evil potions.
Late Middle English: via Middle Dutch croonje, caroonje 'carcass, old ewe' from Old Northern French caroigne 'carrion, cantankerous woman' (see carrion).
crockery from early 18th century:
Crockery is from obsolete crocker 'potter', from crock, spelt in Old English croc, crocca 'earthenware pot'. The crock in the expression old crock is a different word, perhaps of Flemish origin. Originally a late Middle English Scots term for an old ewe, it came in the late 19th century to denote an old or broken-down horse. Crone (Late Middle English) has a related history coming from Middle Dutch croonje, 'old ewe, carcass' from Old Northern French caroigne meaning both 'carrion' and 'cantankerous woman'.

The Children's Learning Centers held its annual Poinsettia Luncheon fundraiser. This year's festivities, featuring the Tascosa High School Freedom Singers, Dontreka Matthews and Chuck Alexander with the children of the learning centers, attracted about 300 people to the Heritage Room of the Amarillo Civic Center.
Proceeds are earmarked for renovations to the playground at the McLellan Center, 401 S. Van Buren St., which serves 60 children ages 6 weeks to 11 years.
CLC, which has nine centers under its umbrella, serves 700 children to help prepare them to go to school as well as prepare them for life, said Prenis Willliams, president of the CLC board of directors.
