There is no lack of anti-capitalists today. We are even witnessing an overload of critiques of capitalism's horrors: newspaper investigations, TV reports and best-selling books abound on companies polluting our environment, corrupt bankers who continue to get fat bonuses while their firms are saved by public money, sweatshops where children work overtime. There is, however, a catch to all this criticism, ruthless as it may appear: what is as a rule not questioned is the liberal-democratic framework within which these excesses should be fought. The goal, explicit or implied, is to regulate capitalism—through the pressure of the media, parliamentary inquiries, harsher laws, honest police investigations—but never to question the liberal-democratic institutional mechanisms of the bourgeois state of law. This remains the sacred cow, which even the most radical forms of 'ethical anti-capitalism'—the Porto Allegre [sic] World Social Forum, the Seattle movement—do not dare to touch.I am unconvinced that the inadequacy of extending democratic forms into the "'apolitical' network of social relations" requires naming democracy as the ultimate enemy of freedom today, as Žižek and Badiou would have us do. Žižek's line that "It is the acceptance of 'democratic mechanisms' as the ultimate frame that prevents a radical transformation of capitalist relations" seems to me to be a misdiagnosis which even he must see directly conflicts with his other diagnosis of the increasing tendency toward public-private partnership as a preferred style of rule, as we'll see in the passage below. If this tendency is as severe a problem as he (and many others) thinks it is, surely it indicates that rather than "democratic mechanisms" being the ultimate frame, it is much more the case that free market ideology remains the ultimate frame as it rapidly engulfs democracy itself (where it hasn't already been confused with democracy for some time).
It is here that Marx's key insight remains valid, perhaps today more than ever. For Marx, the question of freedom should not be located primarily in the political sphere proper, as with the criteria the global financial institutions apply when they want to pronounce a judgement on a country—does it have free elections? Are the judges independent? Is the press free from hidden pressures? Are human rights respected? The key to actual freedom resides rather in the 'apolitical' network of social relations, from the market to the family, where the change needed for effective improvement is not political reform, but a transformation in the social relations of production. We do not vote about who owns what, or about worker–management relations in a factory; all this is left to processes outside the sphere of the political. It is illusory to expect that one can effectively change things by 'extending' democracy into this sphere, say, by organizing 'democratic' banks under people's control. Radical changes in this domain lie outside the sphere of legal rights. Such democratic procedures can, of course, have a positive role to play. But they remain part of the state apparatus of the bourgeoisie, whose purpose is to guarantee the undisturbed functioning of capitalist reproduction. In this precise sense, Badiou was right in his claim that the name of the ultimate enemy today is not capitalism, empire or exploitation, but democracy. It is the acceptance of 'democratic mechanisms' as the ultimate frame that prevents a radical transformation of capitalist relations…
What has happened in the latest stage of post-68 capitalism is that the economy itself—the logic of market and competition—has progressively imposed itself as the hegemonic ideology. In education, we are witnessing the gradual dismantling of the classical-bourgeois school ISA: the school system is less and less the compulsory network, elevated above the market and organized directly by the state, bearer of enlightened values—liberty, equality, fraternity. On behalf of the sacred formula of 'lower costs, higher efficiency', it is progressively penetrated by different forms of PPP, or public–private partnership. In the organization and legitimization of power, too, the electoral system is increasingly conceived on the model of market competition: elections are like a commercial exchange where voters 'buy' the option that offers to do the job of maintaining social order, prosecuting crime, and so on, most efficiently.I also want to change the terms of Žižek's argument that "the electoral system is increasingly conceived on the model of market competition;" it seems to me that the way he means for this argument to function reflects an (arguably) outdated reality. (I should say that he may in fact have in mind exclusively European elections, so my disagreement may be merely a product of my U.S. parochialism, but I have certainly seen and heard this argument being made about U.S. elections as well, particularly in connection with moments (as this year miserably promises to be) of a switch in control of one or more of the branches of government.)
On behalf of the same formula of 'lower costs, higher efficiency', functions once exclusive to the domain of state power, like running prisons, can be privatized; the military is no longer based on universal conscription, but composed of hired mercenaries. Even the state bureaucracy is no longer perceived as the Hegelian universal class, as is becoming evident in the case of Berlusconi. In today's Italy, state power is directly exerted by the base bourgeois who ruthlessly and openly exploits it as a means to protect his personal interests.
It is not that I see no truth in this argument, but, for one thing, I question the historical accuracy of Žižek's implication that this is an emergent tendency or that it is newly dominant in electoral politics. What I think he is also implying, though, seems to me even farther from the truth: that parties have given up on attempting to demonstrate real essential differences from one another and seek merely to convince voters that they will deliver the same things as the other party, only better—with "lower costs, higher efficiency." This is also a popular argument made about U.S. politics, but it completely ignores the intensity of partisan rancor which, while not new, has become (arguably) newly inescapable with the emergent media technologies of cable television and the blogosphere. The idea that a voter is just like a shopper choosing between negligibly different brands of laundry detergent seems absolutely disconnected from the demands being placed on her by this constant assault of animus and extremism. If there is an analogue in the world of consumer goods for this polarization, it would not be laundry detergent, but something more like the Mac-PC divide (which most people happily map directly onto the political divide, even if that really doesn't work well), in which the consumer's choice is not seen as an attempt to maximize efficiency and lower costs but as a conversion (or an apostasy) and a public act of self-definition.
Žižek's argument also (strangely naively) presumes that most voters retain a belief that electoral choice imitates consumer choice in that you can expect product satisfaction from your purchase. Maybe the ambient disillusionment of 2010 is greater than is usually the case, but even while campaigning in 2008, I found that enthusiasm was generally located at the point of the symbolism of electing Obama as president, rather than the expectation that he would govern with "lower costs, higher efficiency." This was, I think, not just a reflection of the general understanding that all politicians break their campaign promises, but a more acute sense that the election of Obama was the "purchase" itself, and that his presidency—the actual details of his governance—was something separate. Again, this may be specific to the 2008 election and may not recur, but I feel there is still somewhat of the same thing going on at the present with the Tea Party: candidates are products not in the sense of what they do in office—that's not what you're purchasing—but products in the sense of a specific electoral (or more generally political) experience. The campaign—or more accurately, the campaigning process (which has been stretched out as never before) is the primary product which is being purchased, and not the act of governance. The idea of politics as consumption has been delimited to the experience of enjoying (and perhaps participating in) their campaigning, and not to the experience of being governed by them.
The talk this year of an enthusiasm gap acknowledges these realities better than prior years' emphasis on the way that independents were leaning; while the idea of the enthusiasm gap is not new, I feel that this year there has been a softer focus on the battle for the Independents and more a fretting about whether the people who are going to vote Democratic no matter what might just stay home. (I don't watch much cable news, though.) Electoral politics seems to me to be mostly about mobilization rather than persuasion at this juncture; success is premised less on convincing the unconvinced to vote for you than it is about convincing the already convinced to vote at all. Again, this may be a geographically specific situation (if I have even diagnosed the U.S. situation correctly), and I would be interested if anyone has some insights into whether or to what extent this may apply elsewhere in the world.

Pet Essences Thyroid Balance is a combination of flower essences designed to balance the emotional attitudes that may contribute to over-active or under-active thyroid conditions. Use in conjunction with other programs prescribed by your veterinarian.
About Flower Essences
Pets are very responsive to the energetic healing properties of Flower Essences. The energetic bouquets from Pet Essences are both dynamic and gentle in their transformational abilities. By using the appropriate Flower Essences to balance the emotional attitudes of your dog or cat, subtle changes occur that bring renewed energy forward and short circuit the path to illness.
Pets have emotions, attitudes and personalities just like humans. To care for an animal, it is helpful to observe the animal and learn how to distinguish between normal regular behavior and behavior that is unusual and out of balance. Pets often reflect the emotions of the people close to them and the environment in which they live. Emotions such as fear or anxiety or worry or depression can lead to disease because they deplete the physical body of its natural vitality, thereby compromising the immune system's ability to function properly. By using the appropriate Flower Essences to balance emotional attitudes, subtle changes occur that bring renewed energy forward and short circuit the path to illness.
We have organized the Pet Essences formulas so that it is easy to select the appropriate remedy from our Conditions categories. Don't worry about choosing an inappropriate essence. They will not harm animals, or people, as they are self correcting - meaning that there are no unwanted side effects. Sometimes there are responses that may seem surprising but that is because each creature has a personal way of making changes in their own being. Flower essences are easy to use and are very economical.
Available in 1 oz liquid.
Review Rating: 4.5
Country of Origin: USA
Manufacturer: Pet Essences
Shipping Weight: 0.17
Active Ingredients - Angelica, Almond Borage, Black Eyed Susan, and other natural flowers
Inactive Ingredients - Brandy (used as a preservative)
Suggested Use
Pet Essences can be rubbed on the skin, lips, ears, or paws, put directly in the mouth, added to drinking water, put in food, put in bath water, or put into a mister bottle or treatment bottle.
Pet Essences can be used directly from the bottle or diluted. If you choose to dilute them with water, you will dilute the brandy but not the remedy flower essences. This way your pet will not taste or ingest unnecessary brandy.
To make a diluted treatment bottle, take a clean, empty 1 oz bottle and add 7 drops from the Pet Essences Bottle, fill with water, and shake well. You can then give doses directly from this bottle. You can also add 7 drops of the Pet Essences into a bowl of drinking water.
Please do not combine the Pet Essences formulas. Combining formulas can be overwhelming for your pet. You can use more than two formulas in one day by waiting 2 minutes between doses. Two exceptions to combining formulas are Pain Relief and Emotional Stability. These two formulas may be combined with any other formula in a treatment bottle or a bowl of water. To do this, add 7 drops from each formula into a treatment bottle, fill with water, and shake well.
It is suggested to give Pet Essences 4 times a day. The more frequently you give a dose the more often the messages carried by the essences will reach the animal you are helping. Repeating frequent doses is more effective than a single dose or dosing 2 times a day. If you are faced with an emergency situation, giving dosages more frequently is recommended. A dose can be given every few seconds, then every few minutes until the animal stabilizes.

Try this, it works!
By Wennie's person
from St. Louis, MO
I have a nearly 9 year old golden retriever who had a stroke in 2012. She was misdiagnosed as epileptic and put on phenobarbital. She was then diagnosed with low thyroid and put on soloxine. I think the phenobarbital suppressed her thyroid, and argued that she just needed more time to get over it. The vet insisted that she needed synthetic hormone. I tried giving it to her for nearly two years and just couldn't take it anymore. It made her so anxious. She cried all day long, every day. She lost nearly all her tail hair. She was a mess. I dropped it down to half a pill every 3rd day and it was still too much for her. So, I gave up. I stopped giving her the soloxine on 2/14/15. I have been giving her the thyroid essences 4 times a day since then. I also give her the canine thyroid wellness pills twice a day. She is finally calming down. Her tail hair is growing back. She doesn't cry all day anymore. This is such a relief. It is 3/31/15. Fingers crossed, I will be using this instead of the synthetic hormones from now on. I am re-ordering this again today so I don't run out.

Really seems to help
By Louie the cat
from Maine
After a few days of using this Thyroid Balance, he seems to respond with all around more even mood, less anxiety, appetite seems improved. Hyperthyroidism bites, and he'll likely have it the rest of his life and this supplement will help to make it more tolerable for him. To some degree it adds more quality to his life, it isn't a miracle, but it is noticeable and worth it.

Awesome, Amazing, Wonderful Product
By Keeper of the Queen
from Grand Prairie, Texas
The Queen of our home is 16 years old. About a year ago she began yeowling, pulling her hair out and what was left was sticky and nasty. Having some understanding of symptoms I tried Thyroid Balance - oh my...thankyou. Because she has a "delicate palate" I first tried an external application-some change occurred. With a leap of faith I put 7 drops in her breakfast and almost immediately she was calmer-no yeowling-lots of naps - her hair began to lose the stickyness and when we brought in a rescue kitten she PLAYS WITH HER!! I still can't get over the fact that she will actually allow it in her food-considering there are only 2 entrees she will have anything to do with. I can't say thankyou adequately. TB has changed our lives and given peace to a precious queen. Thank you!
This seems to be working
By catlover1225
from Lynnwood, WA
About Me New Pet Owner
I knew the minute I got this kitty home something wasn't right. She was always hungry after getting fed just 2 hr.s before and her coat looked dull and was coming out by the handfuls. I immediately thought either her Thyroid or Diabetes. She's not drinking alot or using the litterbox too much so I narrowed it down to an overactive thyroid. After giving this to her for almost a month I see a dramatic difference in her appetite and fur. This was a life saver and very reasonably priced. You have my business for as long as I'm fortunate to have my Sheba!

By April The Avon Lady
from Tacoma, WA
I give my 10 yr. old cat 2 dropper fulls a day. It is easy to administer because you can drop it on their skin or in the drinking water. I just open her mouth and drop it in and she knows that its helping cause she won't run away as with flea meds she will since they are a chemical.

Heads and Tails above
By "Sissy's" Mom
from Goodview, VA
My cat is almost 18 years with hyper-thyroid. Two different time periods and two bottles used have shown results. For an animal who will not take any thing in her mouth, this was an answered prayer. When she gets symptomatic, I administer on her upper back and within minutes she is relaxed. She is happier now and this is the only "medicine" I give her. No side effects, no trauma, just "peace".
This product has turned around my cat's

Plaintiff/Dairy Farmers Attorneys File Motion to Disburse Dean/SMA Settlement Funds; Court's Review and Approval Required Before Checks Issued
Plaintiff/Dairy Farmers Attorneys File Motion to Disburse Dean/SMA Settlement Funds; Court's Review and Approval Required Before Checks Issued
In an already-full holiday weekend, Dairy Farmer/Plaintiffs attorneys filed a motion requesting that the Court approve release of the Dean Foods/SMA Settlement funds in the Southeast Milk Litigation Antitrust Federal Class Action.
The extensive 376-page document contains many details of the claims administration process, explaining the audits and verifications undertaken by Rust Consulting, the claims administrator.
The lengthy Claims process began last winter with the Court's approval of the Dean Foods Settlement and recertification of the DFA subclass. The litigation itself is now 5 1/2 years in its duration.
Board members of DFA and SMA were ineligible to receive any portion of these funds, per the Settlement agreements.
This Motion was a key step to class members receiving their first payments, scheduled to take place over a period of several years.
The Court, whose role it is to protect the Dairy Farmer/Class members, must approve this document before the first in a series of payments to farmer/plaintiffs can be released. It is unknown at this time how long it will take for farmers to actually receive these checks.
Trial for Dairy Farmers of America and several related business entities remains scheduled to begin on January 15, 2013 in the Greeneville Division, East Tennessee District, Federal Court, Sixth Circuit, in Greeneville, Tennessee.

Recap: Open Your World webcast with Joseph Reagle, author of Good Faith Collaboration | Opensource.com
Recap: Open Your World webcast with Joseph Reagle, author of Good Faith Collaboration
What differentiates Wikipedia from other reference books where you have no idea of the process that went into them is that the Wikipedia encyclopedia is an artifact of an active community. A large one, in fact, with about 41,000 contributors editing five or more times a month and 1,000 active administrators. The "Wiki" part has its origins with Ward Cunningham, who saw it on the "Wiki Wiki Shuttle Bus" at the Honolulu airport. The portmanteau of wiki + enkyklios + paidei means a "quick circle of learning." It's this circle that Reagle examines in his book and this talk.
How Wikipedians do their work
There are three things--a "holy trinity" Reagle calls it--that help Wikipedians work the way they do.
- Neutral point of view. They are not concerned with true or false, right or wrong. They're interested in a factual representation of what people have said about the world. Which dovetails into...
- Verifiability. If you make a claim, you should be able to support that claim. It should have already been published by a reliable source. You may notice that the bracketed reference numbers follow nearly every sentence on Wikipedia entries now.
- No original research. This is a "no kooks": policy. You might have come up with the new Grand Unified Theory, but until it's published in a journal, it's not worthy of Wikipedia.
Is Wikipedia a wholly novel phenomenon?
Reagle thinks of himself as an interested historian--not a historian by career, but by fascination. He's found that this idea of creating a universal encyclopedia is one deeply rooted in history.
In H. G. Wells "The Brain Organization of the Modern World" lecture from 1937, he describes his vision for a world where "any student, in any part of the world, will be able to sit with his projector in his own study at his or her convenience to examine any book, any document, in an exact replica."
Reagle uses Wells and Belgian documentalist Paul Otlet as examples of historic visionaries for a universal encyclopedia.
Beyond Wells and Otlet, Reagle examines many projects from the networked age: Project Gutenberg, Project Xanadu, GNUpedia, and others, including, of course, Wikipedia. (He describes these in more detail in his book than in the presentation.)
Technical features
Wikipedia enables incremental, asynchronous, and cumulative contribution. But while many believed that its power was in decentralization, it is in fact centralized, which is useful for many reasons, from community and revisions to what Reagle focuses on--culture.
"Good faith" collaborative culture"
The unifying principle of Wikipedia is captured by WikiLove: "A general spirit of collegiality and mutual understanding." Eric Möller believes this is the most important norm--for Wikipedians to share respect and goodwill.
Neutral Point of View may seem like an impossible goal, but in fact it recognized the variety of viewpoints and gives a way that they call all be recognized as instances of human knowledge, whether right or wrong. Wikipedia captures this as "Writing for the Enemy." (Since the creation of Reagle's slides, this has been renamed Writing for the opponent. You can also read the discussion regarding this change, which is an excellent example of Wikipedians at work.)
Writing for the opponent is the process of explaining another person's point of view as clearly and fairly as you can, similar to devil's advocate. The intent is to satisfy the adherents and advocates of that perspective that you understand their claims and arguments.
Reagle's analysis yielded four virtues at the heart of good faith collaborative culture: assuming the best of others, civility, patience, and humor. He expounds on each of these in his talk.
Reagle's theory
Wikis are asynchronous, potentially anonymous, and cumulative. Those are important to Wikipedia's success, but do they alone explain its success? Simply put, no. Wikipedia's culture is important, too.
Reagle offers "Ben's Revolting Realization": Everyone who comes across Raul's laws eventually adds one of their own. (See #177 under "Laws by others.") Reagle offers one as well: Wikipedia's collaborative culture asks its participants to assume two postures: a stance of neutral point of view on matters of knowledge and a stance of good faith toward one's fellow contributors. Good faith makes it possible to fit together different worldviews, bringing us to a world closer to what Wells spoke of more than 70 years ago.

@Ruth: Reagle offers "Ben's Revolting Realization": Everyone who comes across Raul's laws eventually adds one of their own.
I attended Reagle's talk last week at the Berkman Center.
While I support the vision of good faith collaboration, my own experience with WikiCulture fell disappointingly short of that utopian vision. What WikiCulture lacks is a functional social contract that would orient the community in the direction that Reagle envisions. The bewildering hodge-podge of mutually inconsistent rules are mainly used as weapons by which an editor with one point of view can kibosh an editor with a rival point of view. In this regard, the cultural dynamic of Wikipedia is more like Mafia Wars (on Facebook) than what either Reagle or I had in mind as an exemplar of good faith collaboration to craft articles meeting high editorial standards of accuracy, quality, and ethics.
A project of the magnitude and scope of Wikipedia needs to adhere to a code of ethical best practices. And yet Jimbo Wales, the influential co-founder of the project, declared that a scholarly review of ethical best practices was "beyond the scope of the project" and personally dismantled a good faith effort to craft such a code.
Reagle spun his talk around a set of insights known as Raul's Laws, one of which is Ben's Revolting Realization: "Everyone who comes across Raul's laws eventually adds one of their own."
Indeed, I did add one of my own:
Moulton's Nth Law of Bureaucracy: "Once a bureaucracy makes a mistake, it can't be fixed."
WikiCulture is, in many ways, a dysfunctional bureaucracy that makes a lot of mistakes, the most important of which never get fixed.
There is a Corollary to Moulton's Nth Law of Bureaucracy: "Once a corrupt bureaucracy makes a mistake, not only can it not be fixed, it can't even be mentioned."
Immediately after I added that to the collection of Raul's Laws, it was summarily deleted.
Is WikiCulture a hopelessly corrupt bureaucracy? Draw your own conclusion.
What I found most telling is that on his blog, Reagle removed criticisms that were coherent and pointed -- made by experts on Wikipedia -- because they were unflattering to his work.
Everything begins to look "good faith", when the obstacles are dragged off and smothered.
In "Good Faith Collaboration" the emphasis has been more on the issue of Good Faith / Bad Faith rather than on the issue of Collaboration.
In a collaborative enterprise, one consults with their collaborators to ensure that everyone is on the same page and that there is agreement on what is being said or done.
Acting without such consultation and consensus invariably leads to discord and discontent. It's remarkably easy for minor disagreements to blossom into major conflicts and antagonisms. Sometimes these antagonisms evolve into long-running and long-festering dramas.
Once trust has been broken and once the antagonists have concluded that their counterparts are acting in bad faith, the rivalrous drama takes on a disturbing life of its own.
It's not uncommon for the rivals to feel compelled to ban and delete the "trollish rantings" of their most annoying critics.
Which inexorably leads us to Kohs Law: You are what you balete.

In this screencast, Office program manager Brian Jones shows how to use content controls, data binding, and the custom XML data store to push/pull data to/from a Word 2007 document.
Microsoft has adopted the Office Open XML file format, as the new default file format for Word, Excel, and PowerPoint 2007 to reduce file
size, improve reliability, guarantee long term accessibility for archiving, and enhance interoperability with business solutions.
A key piece of the integrating the contents of Office documents with business data is the ability to structure those documents semantically. Word 2007 builds on top of the custom defined schema support introduced in Word 2003 and offers an extremely robust way to structure the contents of a document.
In addition to allowing the solution builder to structure a Word template, they can then map those structures to their own custom XML schemas which allows the developers to program directly against the data rather than against the application's object model. This allows for much simpler and more reliable solutions than in the past, and even allows the valuable contents within the documents to maintain a direct mapping to business data without writing any code.

Hunter Information Booths will be open across central Oregon Wednesday, Sept. 25, through Friday, Sept. 27.
Hunter booths are available for the public to get current fire restriction information on open fires, driving off road, chainsaw use, smoking in the forest, and more. Road closure information as well as map sales and coffee will also be available at most locations.
Early fall is the most dynamic time of year for wildfire danger. Hot afternoons continue to dry out vegetation and colder nights alone do not provide adequate moisture recovery.
Central Oregon received scattered showers over the past week but more warm, dry days are expected. The message to hunters and recreationists is to call ahead for the area you are visiting and find out the current fire use restrictions. They quickly change and vary from place to place.
Some restrictions may be lifted due to rain received. But many areas may still prohibit open fires and driving off of improved roads. Currently all Oregon Department of Forestry-protected lands within central Oregon are still in fire season.
Fire restriction/fire use information can be found at the following locations:
Private lands in the Central Oregon area - The Oregon Department of Forestry:
Crook, Deschutes, and Jefferson Counties - Prineville Unit 541-447-5658
Gilliam, Morrow, Hood River, and Wasco Counties - The Dalles Unit 541-296-4626
Wheeler, Grant, and Harney counties - John Day Unit 541-575-1139
Public lands - USDA Forest Service
Deschutes National Forest 541-383-5300
Ochoco National Forest 541-416-6500
Malheur National Forest 541-575-1321
Public lands - USDI Bureau of Land Management

*Your pronation type is determined by the natural motion your feet apply throughout your running gait. When you pronate your foot rolls from either the outer edge, inner edge or not at all. If your foot rolls to the outer edge when you run, you are an underpronator, if it rolls to the inner edge you are a overpronator and if your foot doesn't roll at all you are a neutral or stable runner.

Erie police investigating body in bus stop shelter
Erie police and the Erie County Coroner's Office are investigating a body found this morning in a downtown bus stop shelter.
The man, believed to be in his 40s, was dead when police arrived at the shelter at about 10 a.m., an officer said. Police said there don't appear to be signs of trauma.
Two police cars were parked in front of the bus stop in the 900 block of State Street. The man's body was slumped over on the bench in the shelter on the east side of the street.

BELOIT - It was a night of milestones for West Branch on Wednesday as the Northeastern Buckeye Conference champions hosted South Range for senior night - their final game of the regular season.
It wasn't just that it was seniors Brittany Bryte and Kyla Sharp's last home game - as it turned out, it was the Warriors' 20th win, as they powered past the Raiders 44-31.
"It's always nice to win the last one of the regular season," West Branch coach Walt DeShields said. "And the last one of the tourney, too."
The win was the ninth straight for the Warriors, ranked 12th in the Div. II state poll at 20-2 overall.
"It's senior night, it's an emotional night," DeShields said. "I'm proud of Brittany and Kyla. Coming off the floor, knowing they won their last game here, that's big. Their leadership - they put a lot of effort out there, showing the younger girls how hard they have to work. It's a lot of time, commitment and sacrifice."
The Warriors' defense stifled South Range throughout the game. West Branch jumped out to a 12-2 lead in the first quarter, eventually expanding it to as much as 19-6 in the first half. The Raiders got back within seven, 21-14, at the half.
"They're physical, well-coached they know their positioning and where to be," South Range coach Wayne Johnson said. "They expanded our offense way out. We could not get into our offensive sets. We couldn't get anything.
"We didn't play as good as we could play. But they've got a lot of talent- they're loaded."
South Range struck first in the third quarter, making it 21-16, but West Branch sophomore Pavin Heath turned things back around for the Warriors with a big three-pointer - her third of five on the night, as she finished with 19 points.
"We were a little inconsistent offensively - except for Pavin Heath," DeShields said. "She knocked it down, she carried us offensively."
Heath hit another three to close out scoring in the third quarter, putting the Warriors up 31-20. After that, the Warriors' lead never dipped below double-digits.
"I was ready to play tonight, especially for our seniors," Heath said. "I like (hitting a big shot) for the team. I think it helps them too, it helps get the momentum and get everyone going."
Both teams now get ready for tournament play. South Range will play second-seeded Brookfield at 6 p.m. Tuesday at the Mineral Ridge Division III sectional.
"It's a good game for us going into the tournament," Johnson said. "We had a big week. We're getting better. We don't feel good about the loss, but we feel good that we're making progress.
"There's a lot of talent in our tournament bracket, but none of them are better than West Branch."
The Warriors, meanwhile, will take on Liberty at 6 p.m. Wednesday at the Austintown Fitch Division II sectional.
"We don't want to take anything for granted," DeShields said. "I want them to understand it's a new season - everyone's 0-0 now. It doesn't matter if we win pretty or win ugly, it's just win, survive and move on.
"It's like it used to be on the playground - if you win, you get to keep the court. You want to keep the court as long as you can."
DeShields and his team know that defensive efforts like they put together against South Range will be key to advancing in the tournaments.
"Our biggest thing is pressuring the basketball," he said. "Being able to guard somebody and take pride in that. Basically, our effort on defense - our goal is to not take a break. They trust in their other four teammates to be there on the rotations and in the gaps, and because of that we're able to pressure the ball more."
Heath also knows her team will have to continue to shut down their opponents as they move ahead.
"Now it's especially important - we need to step up our defense for the tourneys. We need to hold our opponents so we can get our offense up."
South Range finishes its regular season at 12-10. Sara Durr led the Raiders with seven points, while senior Lexi Naples added six points and five rebounds.
"Wayne Johnson is doing a great job at South Range," DeShields said. "He's got a great group. They work hard, play hard - they're scrappy.
"We're a little bit bigger school (than South Range). We like to mix it up, get out and face different people. The biggest thing is facing different styles. We really want to play different types of teams to try to be good against them."
Melinda Trimmer, who DeShields said has been sick for several days, finished with eight points for the Warriors. Erica Johnson pulled down 12 rebounds to go with six points.
"Erica Johnson did a tremendous job on the boards," DeShields said. "At 5-foot-8, that's all effort, grittiness and toughness.
"Everyone contributed. Not everyone always plays their best every night, but they know they have to put that behind them and move on."
West Branch also won the junior varsity game, 54-51 in overtime. Catie Hahn scored 11 and Kaylee Manning added 10 for West Branch, while Markie Gabriel, Lynnie Ritter and Sara Durr each scored eight for South Range.
Game notes
South Range finished third in the Inter-Tri County League upper tier. West Branch also beat ITCL upper tier champion United by 13 points last month.
The 50-50 take was $62.
Several West Branch senior boys dressed up as cheerleaders, entertaining the crowd with cheers and chants, a few cartwheels and several maneuvers best described as something similar to the elementary "stop, drop and roll" drill.

BELLEFONTE, Pa. - A Centre County jury found Jerry Sandusky guilty of 45 counts of child sex abuse late Friday night, closing the first chapter in a scandal that tarnished a university and led to the ouster of four of its top administrators.
He was acquitted on three counts.
The panel of seven women and five men returned the verdict about 10 p.m., after about 21 hours of deliberations over two days. The former Pennsylvania State University assistant football coach now faces the possibility of spending the rest of his life in prison after his sentencing hearing, which will be in about 90 days.

I am standing on the edge again, unsure of really anything lately, of big and small things, in a good way. Like life is speeding by and I don't know when to jump in. Or if I even should.
The sense that I could fly whichever way the wind carries me and I'd be ok with it. Or maybe I'm completely content to stay still and watch it all go by. Is this how it truly feels to let go and let God? It's adventurous. A bit unsettling. And I feel so alive.

And You Call Yourself a Film Buff?! – INDEPENDENCE DAY
BY Will Torrence
With the Fourth of July on the horizon, I felt that this was a perfect time to finally see a movie I have heard so much about. To be honest, I am not sure why this movie has escaped me for so long. I remember it growing up, but I guess I never really had the opportunity to watch it. I simply can't think of a better way to celebrate America's independence other than watching a movie about earth's independence — from aliens.
Independence Day follows three characters on their mission to save Earth and civilization from being wiped out by extraterrestrials. The film follows President Thomas J. Whitmore (Bill Pullman), fighter pilot Captain Steve Hiller (Will Smith), and scientist David Levinson (Jeff Goldblum) as they do their part in stopping the invasion. All of these storylines seem independent through the film, but end up connecting in a huge way.

The Ultimate Fighter: Team Lesnar vs. Team dos Santos suffered a setback last week as far as momentum is concerned.
After about two episodes of intrigue, Episode 5 fell a little flat and left the 13th season of the UFC's flagship reality show in serious need of resuscitation. This was supposed to be another watershed moment for TUF as MMA's biggest name and most marketable star (for now), Brock Lesnar, brought his wattage to an already formidable attraction.
Even better, he was to share the stage with one of the sport's brightest up-and-coming contenders, Junior "Cigano" dos Santos.
If all had gone according to script, each episode would've pitted the two massive heavyweights against each other in a figurative battle that would've added even more heat to an already sizzling matchup at UFC 131.
Of course, you know what they say about the best laid plans of mice and men.
Instead of that weekly adrenaline orgy, we've gotten a steady diet of vanilla fare.
But rumors around the virtual water cooler say that Episode 6 can't be missed, that this is the week everything falls into place and then takes off.
And you know neither lies nor exaggeration is tolerated around the cooler.
So check back in at 9 PM ET/6 PM PT when the action starts in earnest.
For real this time...

After four years of classes at the University at Buffalo, members of this year's graduating class have plenty of knowledge.
The challenge, the past two UB presidents told graduates Sunday, is to share it with others.
"Universities are not ivory towers," President Satish K. Tripathi said. "We are deeply connected to the communities we serve. The communities you serve in Buffalo and around the world will be richer, healthier, more sustainable places to live because of the expertise you bring to them."
Former UB President John B. Simpson urged graduates of the College of Arts and Sciences to take Thomas Edison's advice and "find a better way" to do things in whatever field they choose.
"There is a better way to do it," Simpson said. "Go forth and find it."
Simpson, who retired as president two years ago, returned to receive the Chancellor Charles P. Norton Medal, the university's highest honor.
Hundreds of graduates assembled Sunday morning in Alumni Arena on the North Campus in Amherst for the university's largest commencement ceremony.
It was so large, in fact, that some family members of the graduates had to watch the ceremony on closed-circuit television from the university's nearby Center for the Arts.
While university officials said that was a first, large graduating classes are common, so the university holds 14 other commencement ceremonies through May 18. A total of 4,818 students graduated this year.
One of them, student speaker Paul M. Stephan, echoed Tripathi's remarks – with a modern twist.
Quoting a rap artist rather than an inventor or philosopher, Stephan reminded his classmates that – in the words of rap star Eminem – "you only get one shot."
Despite recent technological innovations and advances in science and medicine, the world is still full of challenges and injustices, from climate change to starving children, he said.
He then told members of this year's graduating class that they can either face the formidable issues of today "or put on our blinders and ignore the large problems of our generation."
"This is no longer the world of our parents, and it is not yet the world of our children," Stephan added. "It is our time. The world looks to us."
Dr. Edmond J. Gicewicz, emeritus member of the UB Council, and SUNY Distinguished Teaching Professor Diane R. Christian received the UB President's Medal in recognition of extraordinary service to the university.
Gicewicz, who captained UB's football, basketball and baseball teams as a student in the 1950s, founded the university's Sports Medicine Institute and served as the UB team physician for 27 years. He was appointed to the UB Council in 1997.
Christian, a member of the UB academic community for more than four decades, has earned international renown for several books and films about death-row inmates in America.
Calyampudi R. Rao, a world leader in statistics and the namesake of the "Fisher-Rao Theorem," also received an honorary Doctor of Science degree.
Eighty miles south, more than 600 students received undergraduate and graduate degrees from St. Bonaventure University.
Patricia Hampl, a distinguished writer and educator, delivered the keynote address. Also honored were Eugene M. McQuade, CEO of Citibank and a 1971 St. Bonaventure graduate; Daria L. Foster, managing partner of the Lord Abbett & Co. investment firm; and Cynthia Ann Zane, president of Hilbert College.
Christel Mendez, a management major from the Bronx, gave the student commencement address.

INWOOD - When spring finally arrives, three South Berkeley schools - including Musselman High, Mill Creek Intermediate and Mountain Ridge Intermediate - will look a lot more green, thanks to the environmental work performed Thursday by dozens of students, faculty, staff and other volunteers.
Musselman High Watershed Environmental Team Club (WET) members lead the effort, according to club advisor and chemistry/environmental science teacher Deb Stevens, who helped students as they worked on everything from constructing a raised garden bed to planting dozens of trees near band, athletic and practice fields.
Strawberries will be grown in the raised garden bed to be used in the school cafeteria, an idea that appealed to sophomore Stephanie Javage, who said she is already looking forward to tasting the fruits of her labor.

As part of an environmental work day Thursday, from left, Frank Rodgers, Robert Thompson, Deb Stevens and Michael O'Neal prepare to plant junipers on a small hillside at Musselman High School as a way to help stabilize the bank, prevent erosion and reduce stormwater runoff. Also as part of the event, students worked on rain gardens at Mill Creek and Mountain Ridge intermediate schools in southern Berkeley County.
"We never have strawberries for lunch, and I bet these will taste really great," Javage said with a smile as junior Huck Puffenberger held a plank for senior Savannah Hess as they prepared the wood - courtesy of a $500 Garden Depot grant - for the construction project in the school's outdoor lab.
However, that's only part of the overall plan, since the school's head cook Susan Stanley is working on a farm-to-school grant, Stevens said.
"We already have hydroponics going upstairs so they've already been using lettuce from there as part of our demonstration project. And if you look over in that corner, you'll see the first thing we did and that was a demonstration plot for the raised bed. It still has some kale and cabbage growing in it," she said proudly.
Nearby, students placed sand in a bioswale - a small ditch that helps remove silt and pollution from surface water runoff into a wetland area - that had already been enhanced about two years ago with the addition of several hundred plants, trees and flowering shrubs, Stevens said.
"Really, the idea of a bioswale is similar in function to a rain garden. But we put this in at the request of maintenance worker Dean Domenico, who felt it was unsafe at times to have to mow such a wet, boggy area that doesn't drain well. And that represents another great part of this effort, since so many folks on the Musselman campus are now coming to us with ideas of what can be done to make our natural environment better," she said, adding that other muddy areas were also reseeded as part of the environmental work day.
Another highlight included remediation work on the school's soccer hill, where grant partner Cacapon Institute Executive Director Frank Rodgers helped till the soccer field hill soil before students planted juniper shrubs to form the letters MHS.
"The idea is that it will be look nice but also help hold the bank and help with some of the erosion there," he said.
Rodgers said WET team members also recently designed and installed a three-tiered rain garden for the school's band practice area field. They were working under the institute's Potomac Headwaters Leaders of Watersheds (PHLOW) Program, he said.
Senior Michael O'Neal, who came up with the novel groundscaping idea, credited his fellow classmates for helping make it a reality.
His friend, senior Robert Thompson, said he was happy to help "because is like a little gift to the school and we're also helping the campus out."
MHS students didn't just focus on their own campus, but instead also spent time helping intermediate students construct rain gardens at two nearby intermediate schools. WET club members and advanced placement environmental science students had previously helped teach the younger students, Stevens said, adding that an Eco-Day had also been held last month at Mountain Ridge Intermediate.
"Now, today, we're actually taking it full circle by doing something for the environment. They're not just learning about environmental problems, they are doing something about it," she said.
Approximately six years old, the WET team is a special interest group of the Girl Scout Council of the Nation's Capital, which also sponsors the school-based Science and Discovery Club at the two local intermediate schools, Stevens said.
State Chesapeake Bay Watershed forester Herb Peddicord, who is also a grant partner, also helped plan and work at Thursday's event, she said, adding that the Eastern Panhandle Conservation District also partnered in this work.
"In addition to getting us funding, our grant partners are also here on the ground helping us work, and it makes a world of difference," Stevens said.

The State Theatre opened on January 29, 1921. This attractive, ornate and good-sized theater was converted to a nightclub by levelling the orchestra level after its movie house days came to an end. Closed again in 2005, the State Theatre was sold in July 2006 to a group which plans to renovate and reopen the theater as a cultural center. Renovation began in October 2010, and it reopened in 2012.

The State theater has another new owner.A group called Banko Investement intends to announce further plans for the building in about 11 weeks. This will follow the completion of a study of the theater just started today by students from the Illinois Institute of Art Chicago. There is more on this as reported today on WNDU ch.16. ( see WNDU.com) for complete story. This theater is also a near twin to the Capitol theater (1921-1970), in Cincinnati. Will post further updates on this as I become aware of them.
Oops . I just remembered this! :–)I had visited my mom in a nursing home recently, then went to lunch. I ran into two of her cousins, who also had just been there just before me. One of them recalled being a girl of 15, during WWII, and taking the bus from her small town to South Bend, where they went to the State. While they were in the theatre, they heard a bunch of noise outside the theater. They eventually went outside to see what the noise was. There were hundreds and hundreds of people all up and down Michigan st, cheering and holding up signs— WWII had ended!! They thought they might miss the bus home, but her aunt found her in the crowd, and they stayed there for the celebration in front of the State! She ended up getting a hugs ( and some kisses too!) from quite a few servicemen in uniform! She said that is one memory she will never forget of the State theater!
WNDU ch 16 in South Bend reported today that the State theater owners are going to have a contest to decide what they will do with the landmark theater. You can view the report on WNDU.com Perhaps they might include a theater organ?? (hint!) :–) == Sam ==
You can pitch any idea you might have for this theater by this website:dtsbpitch.com. Also , on this website it lists the State (Blackstone) architect as Henry Newhouse from Chicago.
New owner, and plans are explained on here, I am trying to help them out, so fingers crossed. http://www.thestatesb.com/
The State Theater has been cleaned up and the owners are planning to host events as soon as possible. A group called Ignite Michiana held the first event there March 28th. An article in the Preface, I.U. South Bend's student newspaper, on April 3rd; it gives more details about the State Theater and Ignite Michiana.
Last night 6/8 the State had it's first film showing in a number of years. The Rocky Horror Picture show was screened at 9p.m. followed by a second showing at midnight; the midnight show was sold out! There is a story on this at WNDU.com

A brown shit ring that gets stuck around your wrist after fisting someone in the ass.

When you are giving a guy head, someone else comes up behind you and cracks you over the head with a whip, therefore you choke on his dick and you injur his dick so he breaks up with you, and then you scream out BITCH!

SILVER CREEK – An exchange teacher from Beijing will teach students at Silver Creek Central School under a three-year program.
Zhau Shou will be in kindergarten, first- and second-grade classrooms starting Monday. Members of the School Board heard about her arrival during this week's board meeting.
Students will have an opportunity to learn the language and culture. Zhau's visit is sponsored in part by the University at Buffalo, which has helped coordinate visits and informational exchanges between Silver Creek and China schools.
In other matters, the board will hold a retreat session Nov. 2 to talk about the three-year plan for the district. Board members will focus on budget development and goal-setting for students.
Faculty members will play against students in a charity basketball tournament on Nov. 1.
The event is organized by the junior class.
High school students Emily Berek and James Gardner were recognized as the September honorees with the "Knight of the Month" award.
Both students accepted certificates and congratulations from the board members.

BB – the over-aggressive mother falcon who ruled the skies over the University at Buffalo South Campus the past several years – is done dive-bombing unsuspecting victims around the Main Street neighborhood.
Wildlife specialists from the state Department of Environmental Conservation on Wednesday morning safely netted the female peregrine falcon and took it to a wildlife refuge, after two more reports of her swooping down on pedestrians earlier this month.
In one case, a UB employee suffered head lacerations, officials said.
"Unfortunately, we had to remove BB before she hurt somebody severely," said Mark Kandel, regional wildlife manager with the DEC.
"This type of behavior among peregrine falcons is unprecedented," he said. "By placing the bird with a rehabilitator, we will have prevented it from potentially harming someone and vice versa."
In 2008, UB – with help from the DEC – installed a nesting box atop the 135-foot smokestack at the Mackay Heating Plant on campus, after peregrines were spotted using the ledge. Later, the university installed a webcam to promote understanding of the birds, which are still listed as endangered in New York State.
BB took up residence at UB four years ago and with her mates – there have been a couple of them over the years – produced 15 offspring, Kandel said.
However, peregrines protecting their nesting chicks or eggs are known to act combatively toward people nearby and high above the ground on rooftops.
But BB has a history of being feisty, particularly against pedestrians passing by.
There have been more than a dozen reports of people struck by the 2½-pound peregrine over the past four years, and each year she has extended her territory, Kandel said.
"Each year she started earlier and has been more aggressive," Kandel said. "This year, she's still weeks away from having eggs, but she's still going after people on the ground.
"It reached the point that if she's this aggressive now, it's just going to get worse as she gets eggs, so we made the difficult decision to remove her," Kandel said. "There's a point where you have to put people and human safety first."
The DEC is going to keep the nesting box at UB and expects her companion, Yankee, will find a new mate or else another pair of falcons will move in.

"All I have to say about these songs is that I love them, and want to sing along to them, and force other people to listen to them, and get cross when these other people don't like them as much as I do." —Nick Hornby, from Songbook
A wise and hilarious collection from the bestselling author of Funny Girl, About a Boy, and High Fidelity.
Songs, songwriters, and why and how they get under our skin…
Songbook is Nick Hornby's labor of love. A shrewd, funny, and completely unique collection of musings on pop music, why it's good, what makes us listen and love it, and the ways in which it attaches itself to our lives—all with the beat of a perfectly mastered mix tape.
"Delivered in a hugely enjoyable, invisible prose that does in words what Hornby's tunesmiths do with sound. He writes good."—Time Out London
"Quintessentially Hornby: an idiosyncratic and charming exploration of the meaning of music and how it changes as we grow up and grow old."—SeattleWeekly.com
"A book about the joy of listening to great pop songs, about the elusive genius of a catchy chorus…what shines most is Hornby himself—his wry self-awareness, his disarming honesty. Effortlessly readable, every chapter reminds us how special an observer of human behavior Hornby is"—Heat
"A small, singular, delightful collection [about] the power of songs to bind people culturally and to reach deeply into the human spirit, bending the heart into new shapes with new potential."—The New York Times Book Review
"When Hornby writes about his enthusiasms and how they intertwine with his life, he's amusing and inspiring."—Rolling Stone

LISBON -Columbiana County commissioners are continuing their financial support of the county drug task force.
Commissioners voted last week to transfer $101,500 to help defray the costs of six local police departments that have assigned officers to the DTF, the second consecutive year they have made this financial commitment to encourage more departments to join.
Before last year, DTF membership had dwindled to just the sheriff's office and the Leetonia, Lisbon and Salem police departments.
Since commissioners began helping pay the salaries of officers assigned to the DTF, the Columbiana, East Palestine and Wellsville police departments have also assigned officers and the East Liverpool department recently announced plans to do likewise.
Commissioners also agreed at the meeting to provide $6,019 in matching funds needed for the DTF to continue qualifying for a federal law enforcement grant.
The grant totals $18,058 this year and will be used to make drug buys and replace six computers.
"The board is still interested ... in trying to help them as much as we can," said Commission Chairman Jim Hoppel.
In other business, commissioners retroactively approved two contracts to proceed with the second phase of a housing demolition program begun last year with state money awarded the county. The contracts are with Stan Cunningham Excavating to demolish 14 homes for $54,870 and to Extreme Demolition to demolish nine homes for $42,400.
The contracts had already been signed by commissioners but had yet to be run through a meeting for approval, as pointed out last week by the Morning Journal.
This will bring to 69 the total number of homes demolished since 2013 with $533,000 awarded the county through the state attorney general's office. The county was recently awarded an additional $27,823 from money that went unspent by other counties.
"It's not a whole lot money," Hoppel said of the $27,832, "but we ought to be able to do another three, four, five homes."
"I give Tad kudos for finding that money," said Commissioner Mike Halleck, referring to county Development Director Tad Herold.
Commissioners also:
- Agreed to make the courthouse parking lots available for the Johnny Appleseed Festival on Sept. 20-21, with the stipulation they meet with Lisbon Area Chamber of Commerce officials beforehand to go over the ground rules. Commissioners were upset last year when some of the food vendors dumped grease in the parking lot.
The chamber has already assured commissioners there will not be a repeat of last year's problem and they will ensure the parking lots are properly cleaned by Sept. 22.
- Accepted the recommendation of the county auditor's office and hired the Industrial Appraisal Co. of Pittsburgh for $21,350 to appraise county buildings and other assets for insurance and bookkeeping purposes.

Concerns over recycling business discussed

SALEM — Concerns about the operation of a recycling business on West Pershing Street will be discussed during an upcoming Rules and Ordinances Committee meeting, along with a possible change in the......
I had a manufacturing business in that said building way before the scrap yard came in and the city gave me so much grief i moved out. My state permit was still hanging on the wall the last time i was in the building.

RealDeal, the problem lies in that Brown ties council resources up with non-issues. I couldn't even begin to tell you the last time he brought something forward that was relevant enough for council to actually do something about.
2 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Real Deal the city has to follow the law. If the place meets current code, which I am not saying it does. All I am saying is then making new laws will not make it close down because it would be grandfathered in and the new laws would not apply until there was a change of operation. Sorry but that is how the law works. I don't think anyone would want it to work any different especially when it was applied to them.

City hall doesn't care about the residents in that neighborhood. They never have. At least Brown is doing something.

I would think unless this place is violating an existing ordinance making a new ordinance would not do anything to change the situation. Wouldn't they be grandfathered in (if they are meeting the current code)? You can't pass laws and apply them to existing situations. Those new laws can not be retroactive to an earlier date. They can only be applied from that point forward on future changes and situations. Do we really need to clutter up the books with more laws? Making a law that you think you can use to fire at someone just to get them to do what you want them to do, will end up backfiring on those that are shooting it. More laws are not the answer. The only thing that will accomplish is put more laws on the books.
