Professional Writing students hold coffeehouse event for campus
Penn State Berks will be host its second coffee house event of the semester on Wednesday, December 5, 2012, at 1 p.m. in the Penn State Room of the Perkins Student Center. This event is open to students, faculty, and staff, and light refreshments will be served.
Coffee house events are for students, faculty, and staff who want to read their personal short stories or poems or to perform with their musical instruments.
This event was organized by Professional Writing majors Heather Hussman and Brittany Specht. They have already held a successful coffeehouse event earlier this semester to support the National Day of Writing, which brought together a full house of students, faculty and staff who shared their literary work.
Hussman and Specht are currently working on publishing an online literary magazine for the college, titled, "Shadows of Birds" (and Other Alate Things), which will be released soon.
For more information, contact Jayne Brown, Senior Lecturer in English, at 610-396-6041 or via e-mail at email@example.com.

Get The Tech Job Without The "Chest-Thumping"
The founders of coding school Hackbright Academy explain why they went with an all-female format and how it's working out for graduates.
By Jessica Stillman (Contributing Writer, Women 2.0)
Startup fever may be raging like never before, but the number of women graduating from computer science programs is actually falling. Christian Fernandez, co-founder of Hackbright Academy, has his suspicions as to what's to blame from this paradox.

Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World: Learning
- Fecha al aire:
- Meet charming and jobless Scott Pilgrim (Michael Cera). A bass guitarist for garage band Sex Bob-omb, the 22-year-old has just met the girl of his dreams...literally. The only catch to winning Ramona Flowers (Mary Elizabeth Winstead)? Her seven evil exes are coming to kill him. Genre-smashing filmmaker Edgar Wright (Hot Fuzz, Shaun of the Dead) tells the amazing story of one romantic slacker's quest to power up with love in Scott Pilgrim vs. the World. Scott Pilgrim has never had a problem getting a girlfriend. It's getting rid of them that proves difficult. From the girl who kicked his heart's ass, and now is back in town, to the teenage distraction he's trying to shake when Ramona rollerblades into his world, love hasn't been easy. He soon discovers, however, his new crush has the most unusual baggage of all: a nefarious league of exes controls her love life and will do whatever it takes to eliminate him as a suitor. As Scott gets closer to Ramona, he must face an increasingly vicious rogues' gallery from her past from infamous skateboarders to vegan rock stars and fearsomely identical twins. And if he hopes to win his true love, he must vanquish them all before it really is game over.

Young Summer is the project of Washington, DC's Bobbie Allen. The few songs she's put out so far are emotive, haunting and ethereal, with lyrics to match. 'Taken' is the latest output, and it's simplicity is it's true strength, allowing you to be taken into a trance by those sweet, smoky vocals. An album is expected later this year on Ready Set Records, and I really hope it's full of this dreamy, lush sound. If this doesn't stir up some emotions, you might need to check your pulse.
For something a bit more upbeat, but still melancholy and hypnotizing, check out this older Young Summer tune, 'Waves That Rolled You Under.'

Celebrity Central / Top 25 Celebs
Kelly Ripa
- 1970s
Little Lessons
"I grew up in a family with a strong work ethic," New Jersey-bred Ripa tells Parade in 2002. "My father, a bus driver, never turned down overtime, because he wanted us to have great things in life." During grade school, the other kids taunt Ripa by chanting, "smelly Kelly eats peanut butter and jelly and has a fat belly." However Ripa tells the New York Times in 2001 that the teasing "prepared me for network TV, because after coming home from school every day crying over something some kid said, there's no producer or tabloid or network – nothing anybody can say or print – that's really going to get to me."
- late 1980s
Perky Beginnings
Ripa becomes a cheerleader in high school but says that didn't make her one of the cool kids. "Everyone says, 'You must have been popular.' But in my high school, you could be made fun of for cheering," she tells Allure in 2004. Ripa also makes regular appearances as a dancer on the USA Network's Dance Party USA and lands the lead in her school play, The Ugly Duckling, which inspires her to pursue acting. "There was nothing else I was very good at," Ripa tells Parade in 2002.
- 1989
Heading to Pine Valley
Ripa attends Camden County College and performs in several local theatre productions. "My parents were adamant about college, so I took a few courses and then would audition for everything," Ripa tells the Los Angeles Times in 2001. "I took things like psychology, things I couldn't get motivated to do...My father is still waiting for me to go to college." After about two weeks, she drops out and moves to New York, where she lands the role of Hayley Vaughan (left), a troubled party girl, on the ABC soap All My Children.
- 1995
Meeting Mark
On the All My Children set, Ripa meets Mark Consuelos – newly hired to play her onscreen lover Mateo Santos (right). "When I met Mark, I was just sort of thunderstruck," she tells Redbook in 2007. "The next day I went up to him and, although I didn't even know his name, I said: 'I had a dream about you last night. We were married and had a little girl and were on a plane to Rome.'" Consuelos adds: "That was about as forthcoming as she was – and then she played hard to get." That summer, they begin dating in real-life.
- 1996
What Happens in Vegas...
After secretly dating for a year, Ripa and Consuelos elope in Las Vegas. "It just happened. The next thing you know, we're married, and then four months later we were pregnant," Consuelos tells Redbook. "It was a crazy way to get into a relationship." Ripa declares, "I've had a crush on my husband since the day I met him, and I'm so pleased that I still do all these years later." In June 1997, the newlyweds welcome their first son, Michael.
- 2000
A Revealing Audition
After cohost Kathie Lee Gifford leaves Live with Regis and Kathie Lee, Ripa appears on the morning talk show for her first guest-host audition. One of that day's guests, psychic Char Margolis, tells the world a secret that Ripa had been keeping under wraps: She's pregnant with her second child. A stammering, blushing Ripa replies: "Well, I haven't told my boss yet!" In June 2001, she gives birth to Lola Grace.
- 2001
Live with Regis... and Kelly
Ripa edges out Dolly Parton and Valerie Bertinelli when she is named co-host of Live. By November, Live's young-audience demographics increase by 80 percent, with Regis Philbin (left) crediting Ripa for bringing "a new life to the show."
Giving Back
After being named one of PEOPLE's 25 Most Intriguing, Ripa serves as national chair for the Mothers Against Drunk Driving (M.A.D.D.) "Tie One On for Safety" campaign. Her involvement is motivated by her sister Linda, who was almost killed by a drunk driver in 1999. "It really taught us what's important," Ripa tells Redbook.
- 2002
Good Bye, Soap
After three Daytime Emmy nominations for Outstanding Supporting Actress, Ripa ends her 12-year run on All My Children. Her husband and costar Consuelos voluntarily leaves the show as well. The following February, Ripa and Consuelos welcome their third child, Joaquin, to their brood.
- 2003
Having Faith
Ripa plays an unemployed ex-soap star with Faith Ford (right) in ABC's Hope & Faith. "I was always the victim on AMC: I was shot, stabbed, kidnapped, poisoned, gassed, blown up and raped," Ripa tells the AP. "There were very few laughs for me." H&F's debut gives ABC its best Friday premiere score since 1996, but it loses momentum by its third and last season. "I was so over-extended..." Ripa tells Shape, "I told Mark when the sitcom ended that I never wanted to work that hard again."

The History and Elements of the Rule of Law
Brian Z. Tamanaha
Washington University in Saint Louis - School of Law
February 28, 2012
Washington University in St. Louis Legal Studies Research Paper No. 12-02-07
This Public Lecture, delivered at the Singapore Academy of Law, provides an overview of the history and elements of the rule of law. I begin with a definition of the rule of law, and I elaborate on what this definition entails as well as what it excludes. I then explore three core themes: 1) government limited by law, 2) formal legality, and 3) "the rule of law, not man." With respect to each theme, I describe strengths as well as limitations of the rule of law. In closing, I identify the key source of the rule of law in society, and I mention the diversity of manifestations of the rule of law across societies. A central theme of the essay is that the rule of law, while delivering many benefits, does not by itself insure a just government or society.

The Stetson men's basketball team gave away an 11-point second half lead as visiting North Florida used a 22-6 run late in the game to come back and defeat the Hatters 54-52 at the Edmunds Center on Thursday night.
"What's disappointing is that we had a 10-point lead at one point and we somehow let that get away from us," Stetson head coach Corey Williams said after the game. "Guys didn't compete as hard as we did to get the 10-point lead. We relaxed."
Stetson (6-17, 4-7) turned a one-point advantage into a 43-32 lead with 11:08 to play thanks to a 12-2 run that included five points by redshirt-freshman Brian Pegg and capped by a three-pointer from senior Aaron Graham, the Hatters' only triple of the contest.
North Florida (13-12, 7-5) tied the game at 45-45 just over six minutes later, and the Ospreys took their first lead of the second half when Dallas Moore drove the lane for a layup with 1:45 to play in the game. On the next possession UNF's Demarcus Daniels knocked down a three to make it 54-49 with only a minute to play, giving the Ospreys a decided advantage.
After getting fouled on a three-point attempt, three straight from the stripe cut Stetson's deficit to just two points, but after Charles McRoy missed both of his attempts at the line with eight seconds remaining, senior Hunter Miller's final attempt caromed off the rim to give UNF the 54-52 victory.
Stetson played one of its best defensive halves of the season through the first 20 minutes, holding UNF to just 23 points and 27.6 percent from the floor. Unfortunately, the Ospreys came to life in the second, shooting 48.1 percent from the floor and going 3-of-6 from beyond the arc to outscore the Hatters 31-26.
"They did a good job of attacking us off the dribble, and they scored," Williams said. "We talked about it from the beginning of the game that we needed to contain dribblers and make them take tough shots. I don't think we did that fully."
The Hatters were held in check down the stretch, converting on just two field goals in the final 11 minutes of play. Stetson shot 40.4 percent from the floor for the game, but went just 1-of-9 from three-point range, and shot only 13-for-21 from the line.
UNF used a balanced attack led by Moore with 14 points and seven assists. The Ospreys' 16 offensive rebounds were devastating for the Hatters, as Travis Wallace totaled four and Chris Davenport and Beau Beech tallied three each.
Pegg led the way for Stetson, scoring 14 points, grabbing eight rebounds, and corralling a career best four steals. After dealing with foul trouble much of the first half, senior Willie Green scored nine of his 13 points in the second.
Stetson will continue this weekend's home-stand on Saturday, hosting Jacksonville. The Hatters and the Dolphins are scheduled to tip-off at 1:00 p.m. from the Edmunds Center.

From the moment you emerge from the vast darkness of the womb, your parents start teaching. "I'm Mommy." "That's Daddy." "Stop crying." "Don't ever lie." That last one is a particular stickler. In the case of one's growth into an adult, when the inevitable screw-up occurs, it's usually difficult, but somehow better to just tell the truth. You might get yelled at for screwing up in the first place, but lord help you if you lie about it and get caught later. Then you've screwed up twice. The key phrase to this end is, "honesty is the best policy." But is it? Some people can't handle the truth, as Jack Nicholson so eloquently put it. If you tell it to them, they refer to it as "brutal honesty." Is it worth making something up just to make someone feel better? That's the question asked in The Invention of Lying and it's a curious one indeed.
Mark Bellison (Ricky Gervais) is a creature who inhabits a world not wholly dissimilar to our own. He works in an office. He has friends. He has enemies. He watches television. The difference between Mark's world and the one we occupy is that nobody on Mark's planet has evolved the ability to lie. In fact, they don't even have words like "truth" or "fallacy" or "real" or "fiction." People describe things only as they are without a hint of deceit. Believe it or not – though I would never lie to you, dear reader – all this honesty makes for kind of a dry palace, sans fun. It's reminiscent of that kid in school who raises his hand during the last nanosecond of class and reminds the teacher she forgot to assign homework. People speak their minds. There is no fear of consequences.
Mark is set up on a date with Anna (Jennifer Garner), which almost immediately spells doom. He arrives too early when she was in the middle of something private, frustrating her. Next, she notices he's fat, short and has a snub nose. How does he know this? She tells him straight up. No need for internal monologue. Voice-over be damned. Apparently when you are told nothing but fact for your entire life, what we know as "brutal truths," no longer seems like jabs and digs shot straight at the heart. Instead, they are more annoying than anything. Just a day in the life.
When his assistant tells Mark she's always hated him and he's about to get fired, there's perhaps disappointment, but no insult. Mark is a screenwriter for Hollywood films. In his world, screenwriters are the stars, because there are no actors, only people who read the script in front of a stable camera. Scripts are solely based on historical fact. The only stories which exist are about things which have already happened. There is no make-believe. The firing from his job naturally creates financial problems for Mark and when his landlord demands the payment of overdue rent, Mark finds himself in a bind. He doesn't have enough money in his bank account to cover the full amount. In a spurt of inspiration, he lies. The world's first. He is given the money needed, because everything said is believed. He now possesses a superpower. Whether he uses it for good or evil depends on his character.
When the film was first announced, it was immediately accused of being an inverse Liar, Liar, when in truth, it's much more than that. The Invention of Lying is certainly a high-concept film, which if starring Jim Carrey would have turned into a wacky good time, but with Gervais at the helm, it's interested in more than just delivering laughs. It tackles bigger issues at hand. A lot of the film's humor stem from the unexpected bluntness of the way characters speak to each other. No secrecy is veiled or comment guarded. It's an odd world indeed, but one devoid of much vibrancy. The strict adherence to truth makes for a bland artistic output and the film goes to show why most people prefer some sort of scripted fare over The History Channel. The film's big idea covers the advent of religion and is perhaps its biggest argument for the necessity to create some kind of story, as opposed to sticking to complete fact.
Co-directed and co-written by Gervais and Matthew Robinson, the film visually offers little more than any standard romantic comedy and sadly has a third act which is mostly geared toward Mark getting the girl, but their intention for striving higher is what puts the film in a different category. They don't put complete reliance on the hope that characters speaking "brutal truths" can carry an entire film of funny. Instead, they manage to insert the larger societal conundrums and prove a lot more can be done within a basic framework than most filmmakers are either unwilling or unable to do.
Gervais may still be a long way away from becoming the star in America that he is in Britain, but here he's crafted another role tailor-made for his persona. Mark isn't the nicest human being, but not a jerk, either. He's more of a product of his non-lying environment. Gervais does surprise in a scene full of emotion, displaying a depth to the actor unseen to this point in his career. We shall continue to yearn for purely comedic performances, but this new turn gives Gervais the ability to delve deeper into a role, as opposed to skimming the surface. Jennifer Garner is given perhaps the most befitting role of her career in the film, as beautiful, but slightly dim-witted and superficial Anna. It's nearly impossible to distinguish between the actress and the character and one wonders if this is more up her alley than her five-year stint on "Alias."
The Invention of Lying, doesn't ride high throughout, but given weight to a high-concept without relying on the initial idea to be the sole driving force of the film, makes it one of the more enjoyable movie-going experiences of the year. Hopefully Gervais can continue his ascent to stardom, and will undoubtedly do so if able to stay the course he's currently on. He overtook the small screen and has Hollywood dominance eventually forthcoming. That's the truth. Go ahead and run with it.

on February 26, 2013 - 1:38 AM
Cheektowaga businessman Ted Morton lost a hotly contested 2011 race for town supervisor to incumbent Democrat Mary F. Holtz by a few hundred votes, despite an overwhelming party enrollment disadvantage.
He's ready to try again with a different Democrat and a different legislative body.
Morton, 53, announced Monday that he was "exploring a candidacy" for the Erie County Legislature seat currently held by Terry McCracken of Lancaster. Morton said he intends to "earn the trust and support of district residents."
A formal announcement is expected within the next few weeks after meetings and discussions of party committees from Alden, Lancaster and Cheektowaga – the towns in the district. He said he intends to seek endorsements from the Republican, Conservative and Independence parties, officials said.
A self-employed financial planner, Morton said he was "bothered" by McCracken's recent vote to support County Executive Mark C. Poloncarz's planned increase in county taxes – a measure that ultimately failed. Morton said McCracken declined his chance "to stand up for taxpayers."
"Instead, he decided to support and lobby for another tax increase," Morton charged. "We need someone [who] will fight to keep every penny that your earn with you and your family."
"Our government needs to stop treating the pockets of homeowners like a piggy bank for their overspending."
McCracken countered that he was looking out for the county's future in casting that vote and called the GOP's package to amend the county executive's budget "irresponsible."
"No one wants to raise taxes," McCracken said. "I certainly didn't in my first year as a legislator."
The back-and-forth Monday is a likely precursor of the campaign to come.
Morton and Cheektowaga Republicans ran an aggressive and expensive campaign that included advertising on several high-profile billboards throughout the town in his bid to unseat Holtz as well as attacks on her administration, the town's sanitation department and its head, Frank Max, who is also the town's Democratic chairman.
Morton and the GOP campaigned on a platform of smaller government, reduced spending and less taxes. Although he narrowly lost, the party scored its first seat on the Town Board in two decades with the election of Councilwoman Angela M. Wozniak.
Party leaders anticipate that Morton will employ a similar message this year. Bryan Fiume, chief of staff for the Legislature's minority caucus, said small business is affected every day by regulations enacted by the Legislature.
"As a small-business owner, he's watching his pocket," he said of Morton. "That's what we need in the county Legislature."
Meanwhile, in the nearby 9th District, Democrat Mike Schraft on Monday announced his candidacy for that seat, which is occupied by twice-elected Independence Party member and former television reporter Lynne Dixon.
Schraft is a former U.S. Air Force airman, U.S. Peace Corps volunteer and U.S. State Department official who is a Ph.D. candidate in political science from the University at Buffalo.
Schraft, according to his announcement, states that he "has dedicated his career to public service" and will, if elected, commit himself "to improve Erie County through economic and community development" that includes supporting "private sector economic growth in redeveloping waterfront lands in Hamburg, Lackawanna and South Buffalo."

At each of the City Council's stated meetings, council members introduce bills, most of which will never become laws (for the process by which bills become laws, click here). As a regular feature, Gotham Gazette discusses some of the legislation proposed at each meeting.
At the February 1st stated meeting, members of the City Council proposed an unusually large amount of legislation. In total, 38 introductions and resolutions were put forward, including a bill that would extend city benefits to domestic partners, resolutions targeting racial slurs and overly thin models, and various acts concerning environmental protection and transportation.
In the 1990s, city officials passed legislation to give domestic couples many of the same benefits granted to married couples. Critics say that such legislation was incomplete, because it did not simply give domestic partnership the legal standing of marriage, instead creating an incomplete list of benefits that domestic partners were automatically eligible for.
In the case that a city worker dies in the line of duty, for instance, a spouse is automatically granted health benefits that extend beyond the death, but a domestic partner must petition the city to have his or her benefits extended.
Council Speaker Christine Quinn wants to strengthen domestic partnerships by making granting domestic partners all city benefits awarded to spouses with a bill called the Domestic Partners Full Equality Bill (Intro 501)
"We're introducing a bill that would make domestic partners fully equal to spouses in the law of the city of New York, to make sure that any right or privilege a spouse gets today or tomorrow or ten years from now a domestic partner will also get," Quinn said. "It's important for us to go back and make that statement."
With the killing of Sean Bell, an unarmed Queens man killed by undercover police officers, fresh in his mind Council Member Peter Vallone introduced a bill to add another layer of oversight on police firearms. If Intro516 passes, the police department would be required to submit reports to the council on the number of rounds fired by individual police officers. These reports would state the number of officers who used their guns, when they used them, where they used them, and under what circumstances they used them. Shots fired during police training or lawful target practice would not be included in the report.
New York City has lost eighty-six percent of its wetlands, according to the office of Councilmember James Gennaro. To protect the small slivers that remain, Gennaro is proposing a protection policy (Intro 506) to conserve, protect, enhance, restore and expand the wetlands of New York City and to standardize the city's approach regarding wetlands management.
"Another million people are expected to move into New York in the next 25 years," said Peter Washburn, chief of staff for Council Member James Gennaro. "The time is now to take a look at how to decide what policies we should be recommending to the mayor to preserve these wetlands and make sure people don't just see them as undeveloped land."
Arguing that wetlands serve an important ecological purpose, Gennaro's office wants City Hall to create of maps identifying wetland areas and making sure they are protected from future city development.
Gennaro is also proposing the establishment of a task force (Intro 505) to determine how best to split up the responsibility of protecting wetlands between different city agencies.
With this is mind, Council Member Michael Nelson has proposed two bills that would make sure people are being safe when they take to the city's waterways in boats or jet skis. Both activities have become increasingly common in recent years.
Because city waters also serve as busy commercial ports, Nelson believes it can be dangerous to operate small vessels without proper training. He is introducing a bill (Intro 513) calling for a requirement that anyone using small vessels (kayaks, canoes, rowboats, etc.) complete a boating safety course. The program would address boating safety in high traffic areas and basic instructions on the inland navigation rules. Boating without first completing the course would lead to a $50 to $100 ticket on for the first offense.
Nelson introduced another bill (Intro514) to toughen enforcement on speed limits in the water by installing photo-monitoring devices in regulation zones. Once the device observes a vessel breaking the legal speed limit it would take photos and video of the boat. Penalties would include $50 fines or 90 days in jail.
Hearings on water safety will be held in March, and Nelson hopes to develop regulations on boating before Memorial Day.
Councilmember Lewis Fidler has introduced a bill (Intro 503) to keep privately run commuter vans from illegally picking up passengers at bus stops, arguing that these vans are taking business away from city-run buses.
The bill would require maps to be posted in every commuter van to display the van's licensed area of service. If passengers get on a commuter van outside its designated area, they would be risking a $50 fine.
Jessica Lappin, meanwhile, has introduced legislation that would make life easier for those who ride the vans regularly.
City law now requires that people who use these commuter vans call ahead and log into the van's rider book every day. Lappin wants to simplify the process by eliminating the need for passengers to call ahead, so they can use the commuter vans freely. (Intro 512).
Several other council members proposed bills that would make special Metrocards available to certain riders.
Councilmember Helen Foster proposed Res 694 asking the Metropolitan Transportation Authority and the New York City Department of Education to provide grade school students with additional rides on their Student MetroCards or Supplemental Student MetroCards. Foster also wants the time limits extended to allow students to participate in after-school activities that may run late into the night; as of now the cards can only be used between 5:30 a.m. and 8:30 p.m.
Council Member David Weprin proposed a resolution (Res 700), that would request unlimited Metrocards for all non-municipal first responders so they could use the subway to get to the scenes of emergencies.
Councilmember Daniel Garodnick wants to take what he sees as the first step towards cutting back on the abuse of free parking placards by municipal employees by requiring the mayor's office to list the number of placards distributed in its Mayor Management Report. (Intro 504).
Councilmember Vincent Gentile introduced a bill (Intro 509) that would require the mayor's Office of Film, Theatre and Broadcasting to notify council members and community boards when a movie shoot will restrict street parking for more than 24 hours in their districts, giving them time to adjust.
Councilmember Gale Brewer introduced a resolution (Res 682) calling on the organization that runs fashion week to ensure that its models are not dangerously thin.
The resolution asks the Council of Fashion Designers of America to ban from Fashion Week models whose Body Mass Indexes are below 18.5 -- the level at which someone is officially underweight. Brewer is also asking the organization to develop a "proactive" education campaign for models, designers and others that would ensure the health of the models involved.
The resolution is based on an agreement between the municipal government of Milan and the industry organization that runs that city's fashion week which bans underweight models. But Shulamit Warren, Brewer's director of legislation, hopes that the resolution will also be seen in the context of City Hall's public health campaigns.
Healthier models, she hopes, will mean healthier New Yorkers.
"Other people do look at models or the clothes they're wearing, and base their own lives on that," she said.
In observance of Black History Month, Council Member LeRoy Comrie proposed that people censor themselves and do not use the "N" word during the month of February (Resolution 693).
"It's a symbolic resolution calling for individuals and the entertainment industry to self-censor themselves and encourage discussion about the â€N' word," said Rance Huff, director of communication for Comrie's office.
Comrie argues the "N" word, which often shows up in popular media and hip hop lyrics, should not be accepted as an everyday term.

on March 28, 2013 - 1:42 PM
Hamburg Central teachers and administrators have tentatively agreed on a teacher evaluation plan, 2½ months after negotiations broke down and put the district in jeopardy of losing state aid.
The two sides reached an agreement Wednesday, and the union's contract committee overwhelmingly approved the plan Thursday, allowing a vote by the rank and file. If the Hamburg Teachers Association ratifies the plan, the School Board will meet to approve it, and the plan can be sent to New York State for approval.
A key section of the plan deals with teachers who have been found to be ineffective for two consecutive years. In the new plan, the teacher can appeal his or her rating to a panel consisting of three teachers and two administrators that will make the final decision.
"There is a built-in appeals process that is incredibly reasonable," union President John Mrozek said.
Hamburg and three other districts, including New York City, failed to meet the Jan. 17 deadline for state approval, and the state said they would lose the increase in state aid promised them for this school year. That amounts to about $450,000 in Hamburg.
Parents in New York City obtained an injunction against the state for the loss in aid. The state has not withheld money from Hamburg, pending the outcome of the New York City lawsuit, according to Superintendent Steven A. Achramovitch.
In January, Hamburg teachers rejected a proposed plan. Then the two sides returned to the negotiating table and were minutes away from an agreement when talks broke down after some teachers said an administrator had threatened their jobs if the plan was not approved. The district denied the comment was meant as a threat, but it was too late to submit the plan to the state for review and approval.
Teachers will be given copies of the new plan, and it will be presented at a meeting April 11, Mrozek said. A ratification vote is to be conducted April 18. The superintendent said the School Board probably would schedule a special meeting April 19 to approve the plan. Only then can it be sent to the Education Department.
"We will have everything set to go," Achramovitch said.
The state review could take several weeks, and the state often returns the plans with recommendations for changes before final approval is given.
But Hamburg should not have to worry about jeopardizing future state aid. The governor and legislative leaders have agreed that if any of the four districts that still need to get a plan approved do not have a plan, the state will impose a one-time binding arbitration process, with State Education Commissioner John King acting as the arbitrator and imposing an evaluation system.
Mrozek said teachers don't mind being evaluated but have a problem with a process that relies heavily on testing as one of the criteria.
"We came up with a process that is fair across the board so every level is being consistently looked at through the same lens," Mrozek said.

5 Works of Art So Good, They Ruined Their Whole Genre
History is filled with influential artists -- people who were so talented, they inspired hordes of others to create. But sometimes an artist creates a work of art so masterful, it simultaneously defines a style while shutting the door on others who would follow. Sure, people still try, but rarely can they succeed without their attempts being compared, unfavorably, to the masterpieces.
This week, I kept the intro short instead of bitching about people not reading it. Here's a picture of my psychiatrist, who helped me accept things beyond my control, and prescribed me illegal quantities of E. Thanks, Dr. Segosian!
#5. 2001: A Space Odyssey Creates Profound Cinematic Science Fiction Like No Other
In 1968, a year before man even went to the moon (or didn't go to the moon, if you're wearing a tin foil hat right now), Stanley Kubrick delivered 2001. For those of you who haven't seen it, you're either very young and forgiven or old and stupid. According to people who don't want to be wrong, 2001 is the greatest science fiction ever made. Not just because it's staggeringly accurate scientifically, not just because it's almost impossible to compare it to any other film before or since, and not just because of its groundbreaking special effects, but because of its scope. Here is a science fiction movie that attempts to do nothing short of defining man's place in the universe, and it succeeds.
2001 starts at the dawn of man and jumps to 2001, when man as a species is ready to evolve into Homo superior.
No, it's not a junior high school insult. (That's "Homo so-queer-ia.")
Never again would science fiction films -- even good science fiction films like Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Blade Runner and Total Recall -- come close to having that kind of impact. Kubrick inspired Spielberg and Lucas to become filmmakers, to explore space in art, and yet, despite the massive successes of their careers, none stand on the same plane as 2001. It is science fiction as science and art and philosophy. Here are the only 10 minutes I don't like, but people who get super high all the time assure me it's awesome:
Although it's fun to write about Stanley Kubrick as a batshit mad genius terrorizing actors on a whim, it's important to remember that this is a man who had the intellectual capacity to have deep science-based brainstorming meetings with co-collaborator Arthur C. Clarke -- one of the giants of science fiction. Name a director working today who has that kind of analytical stamina.
I was going to end this section by noting how even a talented director like Ridley Scott fell on his face with Prometheus when trying to make a sci-fi film with deep philosophical implications, but my research tells me that he's already articulated my thesis statement.
#4. David Bowie's Ziggy Stardust Mastered Glam Rock/Made It Moot
When people think of glam rock, they might mention Gary Glitter for sheer kitsch value, and they will definitely throw T. Rex into the mix for a handful of pop gems and a killer look, but you'd be hard-pressed to find anyone who doesn't believe that Ziggy Stardust is the benchmark of glam rock.
OK, maybe Satan (or some douchebag dressed up like him in our photo library).
In 1972, David Bowie released a group of loosely related songs about an androgynous Martian rock 'n' roll messiah who lands on our dying world and descends into the trappings of success before committing suicide (maybe?) amidst the adoration of his fans. Stupid concept album? Yeah, you're right, that one the Who did about a deaf, dumb and blind kid who was great at pinball made a lot more sense. You're just gonna have to accept that, thematically, most concept albums are a bit silly.
But musically (and lyrically, in a song-specific sense), Ziggy is a stellar album. Unlike some glam rockers, who used makeup merely as a gimmick, Bowie has had a 40-plus-year career, illustrating his songwriting diversity and prowess. These songs are fantastic with or without the lipstick. Can you say that about everything the New York Dolls ever did? How about retro throwback glam bands like Suede?
And not only did Bowie out-write his peers, and not only did his amazing band, led by the criminally underrated Mick Ronson, outplay his peers, but he also won the day with presentation. Mismatched eyes, waif body, injury-inducing cheekbones, all coming together as the epitome of androgyny. Anyone else attempting to rock that look just looked stupid, like Marilyn Manson did with Mechanical Animals.
Your career disappeared shortly thereafter? You don't say.
#3. Fight Club Staked Its Claim on the Unreliable Narrator
Writing this entry requires me to break the first and second rules of Fight Club, so forgive me. I'm not going to say a lot about Fight Club because I'm fairly sure this is the entry most known to the Cracked audience, and the longer I speak, the greater the odds that some horrible person who's reading this while taking a short Reddit break will lambast me mercilessly for misstating some pedantic minor fact or "just not getting it, man." By the way, the book and the movie are over a decade old. Do I have to say SPOILER ALERT? Really? Fine, SPOILER ALERT.
"Seriously, dude. You shouldn't need a spoiler alert. That's like saying 'Spoiler alert, Rosebud is Citizen Kane's sled,' I guess. I don't know. I haven't seen Citizen Kane."
So as you all know, Fight Club is about unnamed protagonist, and another guy, Tyler Durden. Of course, by the end we learn there is no Tyler Durden. Instead, he was a projection of the narrator's tortured mind. Chuck Palahniuk was not the first author to create an unreliable narrator whose words become twisted via stress and/or mental illness. He's not even the 50th author to employ this technique. Hell, although there are no projected personae, the whole fun of reading Chaucer's Canterbury Tales is figuring out what the reality of the story is behind the way the story is told. And then there are other stories like Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge, which are all imagined.
None of this is meant to take away from Palahniuk's accomplishment. It actually makes what he did more impressive, because it is virtually impossible to write a novel now with an unreliable narrator (especially with any imagined characters) without being compared to Fight Club. He has owned it. And I when my forthcoming novel, Notes from the Internet Apocalypse, is released, I fully expect to be hearing that comparison as well. Indeed, I already did when it ran in serialized novella form here at Cracked. But what no one compared it to was the amazing 2004 film The Machinist, which also has an unreliable narrator whose mental state far more closely mirrors my protagonist's than Fight Club's. But it doesn't matter. Palahniuk's masterful tale has taken the genre and made it his street-brawlin', soap-making bitch.

The Stetson men's basketball team has called the J. Ollie Edmunds Center home since 1974, but the Hatters have been anything but gracious hosts to their opponents. For the past 34 years, the Hatters have had just one losing season at home and have won 67 percent of their games, posting a 314-154 all-time record.
The Edmunds Center opened its doors on Dec. 5, 1974, as Hatter fans witnessed a 73-58 Stetson victory over Marshall. SU went on to win the next game, and the next, and the next. In fact, the Hatters went a perfect 16-0 at home that season, and they won their first 20 consecutive games played at the Edmunds Center.
Maintaining a top-notch athletic facility is a continual process, and the work at the Edmunds Center has been at a pace to keep up with the development of the athletic program itself.
Over the years, the Edmunds Center has received a number of physical modifications and equipment upgrades. The scoreboards, shot clocks, bleachers, bench seating, illuminated media tables, floor design and lobby showcase have all recently been upgraded. New chairs were purchased for the team bench areas in 1998. In 1999, NBA-style baskets were added. In 2000, the maplewood floor was completely sanded and repainted, and new scoreboards were installed. In 2002, banners were hung in the Edmunds Center rafters for each member of the Stetson Basketball Hall of Fame. In 2005, new bleachers were installed in the east side of the arena.
The floor was originally installed eight seasons ago to replace an old tartan surface. The new floor, which covers both the main court and secondary court, cost approximately $130,000 with the inclusion of bleacher repair.
Eight modern locker rooms are housed in the Edmunds Center, among them the men's and women's basketball, men's and women's soccer, softball and volleyball locker rooms.
Also home to Stetson women's basketball and volleyball, the Edmunds Center houses coaches and staff offices. In addition, the complex contains a crew team workout facility, dressing rooms, a ticket office and an athletic training room.
The Edmunds Center was home to the men's 1991 and 1996 Trans America Athletic Conference Tournaments as well as the women's tournament in 1997. It also served as training camp site for the Orlando Magic of the National Basketball Association in 1992 and 1993, and hosted the NCAA Volleyball Tournament First Round in 1996.

LUC to hear arguments on Kihei projects
The state Land Use Commission on Thursday is scheduled to hear oral closing arguments and to consider a challenge to the development of two large retail centers and 250 affordable housing units proposed in north Kihei.
The meeting is scheduled for 9:30 a.m. at the Courtyard Maui Kahului Airport's Haleakala Room in Kahului.

Commissioners possibly will decide whether the retail centers and housing development proposed by Eclipse Development Group of California are in compliance with 20 conditions imposed in 1995 when the panel granted a land reclassification from agricultural to urban to former landowner Kaonoulu Ranch for a light industrial development.
A challenge from groups, South Maui Citizens for Responsible Growth and The Maui Tomorrow Foundation, and Kihei resident Daniel Kanahele prompted the commission to take up the development in the context of the 1995 land use change and conditions.

A former University at Buffalo student, who badly burned a Hamburg teenager when he tried to set vodka on fire at an off-campus party in Fredonia nearly three years ago, has pleaded guilty to felony assault.
Joshua J. Benton, now 22, of Indian Lake, Hamilton County, was sentenced to probation Monday in Chautauqua County Court for his role in the accidental burning of Taylor L. Meckley, who spent more than three weeks in Erie County Medical Center undergoing treatment for her injuries.
"This was alleged to have been a reckless act, not an intentional act," District Attorney David W. Foley said Tuesday.
The case against Benton progressed slowly over the past 32 months, because of procedural delays and time spent on plea negotiations that didn't bear fruit until Monday, eight days before a trial was set to begin with jury selection.
Benton's mother, Donna, said in an interview that her son tried to reach out to Meckley immediately after the incident to tell her how sorry he was.
"He is very remorseful and apologizes to Taylor and her family. It's a very unfortunate accident, and these last few years have been very difficult for him," Donna Benton said.
The case against Benton stemmed from a party held May 1, 2010, at a house near the Fredonia State College campus during the annual Fredonia Fest, though Benton and Meckley were not Fredonia students.
Authorities say Benton, then 20, at one point poured Devil Springs brand vodka on top of a can and lit it with a lighter.
The stream of liquid caught fire, startling Benton, who quickly got rid of the bottle, causing the flaming liquid to land on Meckley and Patrick Bettcher, who sat nearby.
Meckley, then 19, suffered third-degree burns over her legs and also was burned on her hair, shoulders and arms.
She was flown by Starflight to ECMC, where she was treated for 23 days, most of that time in intensive care, and endured a lengthy and painful recovery from her wounds. Bettcher suffered less-serious burns on his calf and hand.
Benton was arraigned in June 2010 in Village Court on the second-degree assault charge, but felonies have to be handled in County Court and Benton wasn't indicted there until November 2011.
Part of the delay stemmed from the time it took the Probation Department in Hamilton County, Benton's home, to conduct a pre-plea investigation.
This report was the preamble to lengthy plea negotiations, which broke down over Foley's insistence that Benton plead guilty to the felony charge. Benton also considered changing lawyers before staying with Joseph A. Price, of the county Public Defender's Office, a period that led to further delay.
"There were some issues with the case, as time passed," Foley said, noting that at least two student witnesses no longer could be found.
Foley agreed to the plea deal because Meckley had told his office she wanted the case resolved, with an admission of fault from Benton and without having to testify if possible.
"She wants to put this behind her," the DA said.
Meckley, now 21, could not be reached and her lawyer, Craig R. Watson, didn't respond to a request for comment.
Benton faced up to two to seven years in prison on the second-degree assault conviction.
He was sentenced by County Judge John Ward to one year of interim probation. After a year, if Benton has complied with the conditions of his probation, he can withdraw his plea to second-degree assault and plead guilty to third-degree assault, a misdemeanor, Foley said.
Benton left UB, where he was an engineering student, without graduating and moved home, where he is enrolled at a community college and working full-time, his mother said.
In addition to the criminal case, Fredonia State College suspended the Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity following the incident, a suspension that remains in effect, college spokesman Michael Barone said Tuesday.
Three members of the fraternity lived at the house and were among the hosts of the party, and other members of the fraternity also attended the gathering, Barone confirmed.

'The Great Gatsby' causes 1920s fashion frenzy
Shorter dresses, extravagant jewels, new hairdos and dapper suits -- the 1920s was an intriguing time in fashion for women and for men. And thanks to lust-worthy looks and a cast that includes Leonardo DiCaprio, Carey Mulligan, Tobey Maguire and Isla Fisher, Baz Luhrmann's buzzed about film adaptation has caused a frenzied fashion revival, even though it doesn't hit theaters until May 10. Here, some options for recreating the glitz and glamour of the Roaring 20s, because as a Long Islander you never know when you could score an invitation to a party on our "Gold Coast" from a modern day Jay Gatsby type. -- Compiled by Brianna McMahon

It was one of the most grisly murders in Buffalo's recent history.
A man walking his dog last summer found a charred body on an old railroad right-of-way near a popular Colvin Avenue frozen custard stand in North Buffalo.
Darren Brown was slain on the Fourth of July, his throat slashed and his body stabbed 54 times before one of his attackers set his corpse on fire.
The 16-year-old's offense?
The night before he died, Brown had talked to Demetrius Huff, a teen who mistakenly believed Brown belonged to the same gang as he did – and the two smoked marijuana together on Hertel Avenue, according to prosecutors.
When a fellow gang member of Huff's learned of the friendly encounter, he reacted furiously.
"Why did you bring him around here? If that kid comes back here tonight, we're killing him, and you're helping," the gang member told Huff, according to Erie County Assistant District Attorney Michael P. Felicetta.
The story of how Brown died has been unfolding in a Buffalo courtroom the past week as prosecutors seek to convict 17-year-old Ezeiekile Nafi of murder.
But the case has been complicated by a couple of factors.
Huff, 18, a prosecution witness who previously pleaded guilty to a lesser charge in Brown's death, clammed up when he got on the witness stand last week.
Another key witness who first told investigators how Brown died has himself become a target of retaliation for cooperating.
And the gang member accused of orchestrating the killing and beginning the vicious stabbing of Brown, according to Nafi's police statements, has not been charged.
The testimony and evidence in the courtroom also lays bare how gang rivalry can become vicious and deadly over what might seem like minor, even trivial incidents.
The killing
Police were still at the crime scene collecting evidence when a homeless 24-year-old man named David Elliott approached a detective and told him he had information.
After a stint in jail for robbery, Elliott had spent the past three years "running the streets, 24-7" and getting into trouble with the police.
Now, he offered to tell police what he knew because he wanted help with his pending harassment and drug cases and to "start a new life."
Elliott had met Brown the very day he died. He also had talked with the gang members after they killed Brown but before police knew about it, according to prosecutors.
"David heard from all of them what happened," Felicetta said.
Elliott told detectives what he knew, and police arrested Huff and Nafi a week later.
Elliott, though, moved out of state in fear for his life after he was shot at in retaliation for cooperating with authorities. He returned to Buffalo last week and testified in Nafi's trial before State Supreme Court Justice Russell P. Buscaglia.
But one part of the trial has not gone as smoothly as prosecutors had hoped.
Huff was allowed to plead guilty in early March to a lesser charge for his role in Brown's killing. One condition of the plea was that he testify against Nafi, who has been his friend since childhood.
But when Huff took the stand Thursday at his co-defendant's trial, he refused to tell jurors what happened last July in that wooded area off Colvin Avenue.
"I plead the Fifth," Huff said, citing a Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination.
"You already pleaded guilty," homicide prosecutor Colleen Curtin Gable replied.
The prosecutor asked Huff if he was present when Brown was killed.
"Not to my recollection," Huff said, even though he already pleaded guilty to first-degree manslaughter for his role in Brown's death.
Plea deal unravels
Curtin Gable asked Huff if he remembered making a statement to police detectives.
He said he did so "under coercion."
How about the letters he wrote while in the Erie County Holding Center that offered an account of what happened, Curtin Gable asked, as she showed him the letters.
"That does not look like my handwriting," Huff replied.
After Huff conferred with his lawyer, Curtin Gable offered him another chance.
"Did you stab Darren Brown?" she asked.
"No," he replied.
"Mr. Huff, you have about one minute to tell the truth. Are you ready to tell the truth?" the prosecutor asked. "Do you remember pleading guilty?"
"No," Huff replied.
"Judge, I'm done," the prosecutor said.
As part of his plea agreement, Huff was to have been sentenced to a 25-year prison term. While that is the longest possible sentence for manslaughter, it spared him from a potential life sentence had he been convicted of murder.
Now that deal is off, and he will stand trial, Curtin Gable told him.
Meanwhile, the prosecution in the Nafi murder trial rested Friday.
The defense
The defense may call a witness or two today, and then lawyers are expected to make closing arguments and the jury could begin deliberating by this afternoon.
How will Huff's abrupt change in testimony affect Nafi's fate in court?
It might not make that much of a difference.
Emily Trott, Nafi's defense lawyer, has already told jurors that Nafi was present when Brown was stabbed.
"I'm not going to tell you my client wasn't at the scene, because he was," Trott said in her opening statement.
But there was also a third person present when Brown was killed, prosecutors and the defense attorney told the jury.
The co-conspirator
Antoine Sanders, 20, also known as "Deuce," was a participant in the crime, prosecutors said. In fact, he was the one who became furious when informed that Huff and Brown had been smoking pot. He was the one who told Huff that they would kill Brown if he came back again, the prosecutor said. And when Brown did return the next night, Sanders is the one who orchestrated the killing, according to Nafi's statement to police.
But Sanders has not been charged in Brown's killing. Trott called him "the unindicted co-conspirator," and he is currently in the Erie County Correctional Facility on an unrelated charge.
When Nafi accompanied Huff, Sanders and Brown to the former railroad right-of-way off Colvin's 500 block, he did not expect Sanders to start stabbing Brown in the back, defense attorney Trott said.
"All my client wanted to do was get out alive," Trott told jurors. "My client entered survival mode. That night, my client did what he had to do to save his own life."
In his first interview with Buffalo police, a couple days after the July 4 stabbing, Nafi told Homicide Detective Salvatore A. Valvo that he and Huff accompanied Sanders and Brown to the wooded area.
Sanders, Huff and Nafi were in the same gang; Brown was in a different one, Elliott told police.
Vicious attack
The three met Brown on Hertel Avenue, walked along Virgil Avenue, and then made their way to a path into the wooded area.
Sanders told Huff and Nafi to beat Brown, telling them "to bang him in," according to Nafi's statement to Valvo.
Huff and Nafi fought Brown for about five minutes. After they stopped, Nafi lit a cigarette and watched Sanders and Brown fight, he told the detective.
At first, Nafi thought Sanders was just punching Brown, he told the detective.
But then he realized the blows were even more brutal.
"I realized he was stabbing him all those times," Nafi said in his police statement.
Then Sanders knelt next to Brown and stabbed him in the back of the neck, according to Nafi's statement.
A pathologist counted 20 stab wounds to the back of Brown's neck. A large, slashing wound across the neck severed the carotid artery and the jugular vein. Other stab wounds to the chest and back pierced his lung, said Dr. Scott LaPoint, the pathologist who performed Brown's autopsy.
In his first police interview, Nafi denied he or Huff stabbed Brown.
"Why did you do this?" Nafi said he asked Sanders, according to Nafi's police statement.
Brown stopped talking and died just as Nafi asked the question, Nafi told police.
"Don't worry about it," replied Sanders, according to Nafi's statement.
Sanders then warned Huff and Nafi not to tell anyone or "I will kill you," according to Nafi's statement.
Homicide detectives suspected Nafi played a bigger role in Brown's death, and Detective Sgt. James Lonergan told him so when he was brought to Police Headquarters about a week later.
At the second interview, Nafi admitted stabbing Brown in the back five times with a small kitchen-like knife, Lonergan testified.
Nafi said Huff stabbed Brown a dozen times, Lonergan testified.
The knife has not been recovered.
Huff later returned with gasoline to burn Brown's body, said Felicetta, the prosecutor.
Nafi had spit on Brown during the attack, and Huff wanted to ensure none of Nafi's DNA remained on the body.
As for Sanders, police are not finished with him, even though he has not been charged.
Asked if police are still investigating the case, Lonergan said, "Absolutely, yes."
During questioning by defense attorney Trott, Lonergan confirmed that Sanders remains a potential suspect and was interviewed last week.
In the meantime, jurors heard statements from others questioned by the police that cited different reasons for the attack: retribution for a stolen video game player and even a gang initiation.
"We may never understand the question of why," Felicetta told jurors.

The Silver Rule is so-named because it is similar to the well-known Golden Rule. However, it is a bit easier to do. The Silver Rule is simply, "Don't be a douche bag." Instead of having to do something like the Golden Rule, all you have to do is not be a douche bag.
I hate that Brandon, he just doesn't live by The Silver Rule.

Big help to my knees
I bought this item because I have had trouble with a baker's cyst in my left knee all my life and the strain on my knee from twisting to hold the leather out was adding to my discomfort. This item works perfectly as promised, just make sure you put it on with the extra metal facing forward or it will rub your ankle. It does add a few inches to the length of your stirrup so you will need to shorten them a notch or 2. They completely remove the pressure on my knee though and now I feel much better!

Good idea Review by Charmaine

These straws are a great size for our 2 year old. I've even used them in some of our shorter glasses. They don't give off a metalic taste, and we just put them in the dishwasher with our other cutlery. (Posted on 6/18/10)Would you recommend this product to a friend? Yes
Great for shorter glasses/tumblers Review by Mellissa

Arnold Palmer
by Steven Case, 2010.
NC Government & Heritage Library.
September 10, 1929 -
Every sport has one quintessential player who transforms the game from pastime to art form, a person who attracts public attention by presence alone. In the world of golf, this person is Arnold Palmer. The personable Palmer drew crowds, (eventually dubbed "Arnie's Army"), to the links to watch a sport that had previously been thought to be played exclusively by the elite. His expertise has secured him a place in the World Golf Hall of Fame in Jacksonville, Florida, the PGA Hall of Fame, the North Carolina Sports Hall of Fame in the North Carolina Museum of History in Raleigh and the American Golf Hall of Fame in Foxburg, Pennsylvania.
Arnold Palmer was born in Latrobe, Pennsylvania, on September 10, 1929 to Milfred J. "Deacon" and Doris Palmer. "Deacon" Palmer was a golf professional and the course superintendent at the Latrobe Country Club . He passed his passion for the sport to his son. The young Palmer began playing golf with clubs cut down to his size and played in many local tournaments while still in grammar school. During his junior year of high school, Palmer played in his first national competition. While playing in this tournament Palmer met Buddy Worsham, a fellow competitor who convinced Palmer to join him in pursuing his education at Wake Forest College, (now Wake Forest University), in Wake Forest, North Carolina. The two golfers quickly became good friends.
In a championship match in the late 1940s, the Wake Forest golf team failed to qualify for final competition. Ellis Hagler, coach of the Duke University golf team and also a North Carolina Sports Hall of Fame inductee, asked if the Wake Forest squad would like to caddy for the Blue Devils in the finals of the competition. This angered Wake Forest coach and later inductee into the North Carolina Sports Hall of Fame, Jim Weaver, who swore to improve the Wake Forest golf team. Intense work produced three Southern Conference titles for the Wake Forest Squad led by Arnold Palmer and Buddy Worsham.
Tragedy struck in 1950 when Worsham was killed in an auto accident. Arnold Palmer left Wake Forest and joined the Coast Guard, where he served three years, seeing action in the Korean Conflict and continuing to develop his golf skills. After his military service Palmer returned to Wake Forest in 1954 to complete his degree in Business Administration. In that same year Palmer led the Demon Deacons to their first Atlantic Coast Conference golf title. After graduating from Wake Forest Palmer accepted a position as a manufacturer's representative in Cleveland, Ohio. 1954 proved to be the beginning of other great things for Arnold Palmer. He met Winnie Walzer who would become his wife and won his first national golf title, the US Amateur Championship.
With the encouragement of his wife, Palmer became a professional golfer, won the Canadian Open in 1955 and captured television audiences with his aggressive golfing style and pleasant personality. In 1958 Palmer won three championships, including the Masters. Larger numbers of fans were beginning to notice Palmer and "Arnie's Army" was born.
During his long career Palmer won 91 tournaments. Half of these victories would come between 1960 and 1963. Sixty-one of Palmer's wins came on the PGA tour. "Arnie's Army" saw its leader victorious at the Masters in 1958, 1960, 1962 and 1964. Palmer won the US Open in 1960 and the British Open in 1961 and 1962. In later years, Palmer would win eleven tournaments on the Senior Tour. Palmer was named PGA Player of the Year twice, Associate Press Athlete of the Decade for the 1960s, 1960 Hickok Athlete of the Year, Sportsman of the Year in 1960 by Sports Illustrated and Golfer of the Century by the New York Athletic Club.
Today Palmer owns or manages several golf courses through his company Arnold Palmer Enterprises and is also an experienced pilot. His Palmer Course Design Company has designed over 200 golf courses while his Arnold Palmer Golf Academy is well known in the golfing world. He also gives much time to charity work and served as Honorary National Chairman of the March of Dimes Birth Defects Foundation for 20 years. Arnold and Winnie Palmer have two daughters and five grandchildren.

Though she has offered no evidence of potential voting irregularities in Saturday's runoff for an at-large seat on the New Orleans City Council, Cynthia Willard-Lewis still refused to concede the election Tuesday to City Councilwoman Stacy Head, whose narrow win was certified earlier in the day by the city's chief elections officer. Several hours after the certification was completed, a spokeswoman for Willard-Lewis issued a statement that said "in the next few days," the former councilwoman and state legislator will "review options available to the campaign under Louisiana election law."
Willard-Lewis offered no further details about her plans.
She has until Wednesday to request a reinspection of the voting machines or a recount of mailed and faxed absentee ballots; under state law, those reviews would take place Thursday. She has until April 30 to contest the election before Secretary of State Tom Schedler certifies Head as the winner.
To contest the vote, Willard-Lewis would have to demonstrate that she would have won if not for "substantial irregularities or error" or "fraud or other unlawful activities in the conduct of the election." No allegations have surfaced that improper campaigning transpired Saturday, or that voters at any of the city's 366 polling places had trouble casting their ballots.
Orleans Parish Clerk of Criminal Court Arthur Morrell on Tuesday morning certified that Head earned 281 more votes than Willard-Lewis, the same margin reached by the unofficial count Saturday night. About 55,293 votes were cast.
"There was no discrepancy," Morrell said. "The count was exactly the same."
Added James Gray, chairman of the Orleans Parish Board of Election Supervisors: "The results we found were what had been reported earlier and frankly what we expected to find."
Tuesday's inspection, known as "opening the machines," happens automatically after every election to verify the ballots tallied by voting machines at the city's 366 precincts and at three early-voting locations.
Given Head's apparent razor-thin victory, Willard-Lewis had vowed Saturday night to seek a recount. But as of late Tuesday, Morrell said she had not asked him to reinspect the 732 voting machines used in the election or to recount 85 hand-written ballots.
On Saturday night, Willard-Lewis said the vote tally was "so tight, with less than one vote per precinct" differentiating the two candidates, that she felt the race was "too close to call."
She added that her campaign wanted "to look at the real numbers this week coming up. And then we just tell everyone, just stay tuned for further announcements."
Asked by WWL-TV whether she intended to ask for a recount, Willard-Lewis said, "Yes, I'm sure we will be."
Morrell said Tuesday that he was in the midst of fulfilling a public-records request for copies of the "tapes" from every voting machine. Each printout shows the number of votes recorded for each candidate in the race.
Morrell would not say who submitted the request.
