Longtime residents Leverett Johnson and Abigail Cahoon Johnson cut the ribbon Saturday on a ceremonial dedication of the new, black fence at Evergreen Cemetery along Center Ridge Road.
Longtime residents indeed. Leverett Johnson, considered the first settler of Westlake, built a log cabin at Porter and Center Ridge roads for himself and Abigail in 1814. He's been buried at Evergreen, which consists of his donated land, since his death in 1856.
The Johnsons were actually portrayed by Zac Springer and Natalie Nurse. They were two of eight people re-enacting early Dover Township settlers during Saturday's living history tour organized by the Westlake Historical Society.
Leonard Porter (1806-1884), who donated his personal collection of books along with $1,000 to establish what is now Westlake Porter Public Library, led the tour in the person of Mel Maurer.
Porter expressed astonishment at the "horse carriages" he saw zipping up and down Center Ridge Road, especially when he didn't see any horses. His audience benefited from the amplification of his voice by what he called a "thunder stick," actually a portable microphone and speaker system.
Along the way, residents heard from such famous Westlake residents as Walter Clague and Jedediah Crocker, who told of serving under Gen. George Washington during the American Revolution.
The Rev. Dan Anthony of Rock Pont Church gave the benediction at the dedication.
The previous white vinyl fence at the city-owned cemetery had to replaced during the widening of Center Ridge Road necessitated by the Crocker-Stearns Road extension project. Completed last fall, the new black, powder coated fence and associated landscaping cost the city $15,000, according to Chris Stuhm of the city's Service Department.

EU horsemeat tests highlight need for 'country of origin' food labelling
"We urgently need to put EU rules in place on 'country of origin' labelling for meat in processed foods," said Glenis Willmott, food and health spokesperson for Labour MEPs, reacting to yesterday's European Commission announcement revealing the results of EU-wide DNA-testing
"It's only this kind of regulation which will force manufacturers to get a grip on their supply chain," she continued.
"It's shocking to see how widespread the horsemeat scandal is.
"In 2011 the European Parliament supported my proposals for country of origin labelling for meat in processed foods but my plans were blocked by EU governments, including the UK government. I insisted that this was a serious issue, and obliged the European Commission to look into it and report back by the end of this year."
"I was always told that the supply chain for meat in processed foods was too complex to allow for labelling. Now we've seen what those complexities can hide."
"It's time we had a truly transparent system so that consumers know what they're eating and where it's come from."
"Many EU countries are currently cutting back on food safety inspections, which are vital for preventing fraud in the food chain."
"If the EU doesn't put in place a better inspection system there will be similar cases in the future."
"We also have to seriously look at the issue of the banned anti-inflammatory horse drug "phenylbutazone" – known as "bute" – in the food chain, which is a public health concern," Glenis Willmott said.

SANTA CRUZ -- Concrete is being poured this week at the future Kaiser Permanente Arena on Front Street, bringing the Santa Cruz Warriors one step closer to their new home.
Warriors president Jim Weyermann said they are on schedule for the big day -- the Dec. 23 home game against the Bakersfield Jam.
The 33,000-square-foot pre-fabricated arena building will be reinforced with steal and have a fabric roof, serving a city-team partnership that is set for at least seven years.
The type of building breaks ground as far as professional basketball arenas go, Weyermann said.
"This kind of structure has never been done for pro basketball," he said. "This will create a new model if we can create an arena for $5.4 million when a brick and mortar structure would cost $30 to $50 million."
The arena will hold roughly 2,700 seats for basketball and up to 4,000 for other events. The team will lease the property from the Santa Cruz Seaside Co.
City plans approved last month call for the city to loan the team $4.1 million, at an interest rate of 3 percent and for use only for capital investments. It also calls for the city to lease the facility to them for $532,000 in pre-paid rent and additional annual loan payments of at least $250,000 during the seven-year deal -- all of which will be applied to the loan.
The Warriors are the NBA D-League affiliate of the Golden State Warriors, one of 11 that has a one-to-one parent team relationship. The Warriors' 12-14 players will be relocating from Bismarck, N.D. Team tryouts Sunday at Aptos High drew 68 prospective players.
The facility, which city officials say is the largest of its kind in the county, would come down in seven years unless the team and city extend the arrangement while pursuing a more permanent deal.
The material can be reused if the deal is not extended, said Warriors spokesman Matt De Nesnera, who was busy selling T-shirts and season tickets in the Warriors office on Pacific Avenue. They have passed the 700 mark for season tickets, he said.
Weyermann thinks parking fees will be a good money maker and that city lots used only during the day can be used as the vast majority of the season's 24 home games are at 7 p.m.
He said he doesn't think parking will be a problem, though the first game is on the Sunday before Christmas, a big shopping day.
"We'll come out of the game on the toughest day," Weyermann said.
A few neighborhood groups have expressed concerns about traffic, noise and potential parking problems and the council approval came with numerous parking, traffic and noise-muffling conditions aimed at addressing concerns raised by Beach Hill neighbors.
Scott Collins, assistant to the city manager, said there are 1,800 parking spaces within a half-mile of the arena and more than 4,000 within one mile.
The city and team will work with neighbors on parking plans, and use of city and private lots unused at night are possible, he said.
Planners want to encourage parking downtown to boost business there, and will schedule arena events when no other large events in town, Collins said, adding he was "confident it will work."
Out on Front Street, the steel walls of the arena will start to rise at the end of next week, Weyermann said.
"Then we'll go to work with everything inside," he said. "The collapsible bleachers will take the most time to build."
Rodrigo Velasquez, who manages Wheel Works just across Spruce Street from the arena, said people have been talking about the project and the team.
"For the most part, people seem pretty stoked," Velasquez said. "It's gonna be fun, and they are moving quick."

Jim Graham crashes Council Chair Mendelson's press event
D.C. Councilmember Jim Graham is fighting efforts to reprimand him, after he was tied to a misconduct investigation involving a lottery contract.
Graham crashed a press event by Council Chair Phil Mendelson, insisting he's done nothing wrong.
"Is this a violation without a personal financial interest, without a crime, without a law being broken?" Graham asks.
Minutes earlier Mendelson told reporters he's taking oversight of the ABC Board away from Graham and holding a vote Monday to reprimand him because Graham has "adversely harmed the public's confidence in the integrity of the District government."
When Graham was on both the city council and the Metro board, he allegedly told a developer he would support his bid for a lottery contract before the council, if the developer would withdraw his bid from a Metro station project.
"At the very worst it was some kind of horse trading." Graham says.
The ethics board and others have said it was a conflict of interest and Mendelson has rejected Graham's call for further inquiry.
"This has been investigated to death," Mendelson says.
Many of Graham's constituents have backed him and many have not.
Graham's colleague, Marion Barry, is opposing the reprimand.
"I've been a victim of lack of due process on this city council when they censured me, took my committee away," Barry says.

Charles Robert Pederson, 60, Minnetonka, was convicted July 2 of felony theft in Morrison County District Court.
The Morrison County Sheriff's Office was contacted Dec. 21, 2013 by a car dealership in Little Falls and told Pederson took a Ford Expedition out for a test drive and did not return.
Officers contacted Pederson's ex-wife who said she conducted a child custody exchange with Pederson in Braham that afternoon and that he was driving a Ford Expedition.
Several hours later, officers discovered the stolen vehicle in a parking lot near Pederson's residence in Little Falls. They placed him under arrest for theft of a motor vehicle. He admitted he did not have contact with the car dealer after he drove the vehicle off the lot.
Pederson was sentenced to 30 days in jail with credit for the 17 days already served, fined $135 and placed on supervised probation for five years.
Pederson was also given a stay of imposition which means if he successfully completes the full term of his probation, his conviction will be deemed a misdemeanor.

When and where to attack (Steinitz' accumulation theory)
Steinitz' accumulation theory
Steinitz became World Champion (more or less) in 1866 by beating Adolf
Anderssen in a bloodthirsty match (+8 -6 =0). His style was very
much in the tradition of the Italian school, playing for attack from
the word go. He was awarded the brilliancy prize for this Rook
- Romantic Steinitz (up to and including 1872) (304)
- Scientific Steinitz (after 1973)
- Scientific Steinitz didn't forget how to attack! (307)
|Steinitz' elements (after Lasker)
|Steinitz' rules of attack
Permanent advantages
1. Material advantage
2. Bad king position
3. Passed pawns in the middlegame
4. Weak pawns for the opponent
5. Strong and weak squares
6. Pawn islands
7. Strong pawn centre
8. Control of a diagonal
9. Control of a file
10. Bishop pair
11. Control of a rank
Temporary advantages
12. Bad piece position
13. Inharmoniously placed pieces
14. Advantage in development
15. Concentration of pieces in the centre (centralization)
16. Space advantage
Now, where to attack may be obvious, but just in case not: you attack where you are strongest or where your opponent is weakest.
Here's a quick example:
- White's Queen's Rook on c1 is more active than Black's Queen's Rook on a8.
- White's Queen on a6 is more active than Black's Queen on e7
- Black has a weak pawn on c6 -- in fact, Black has a few
weak light squares around on the Queen's-side.
- Black's Knight on e4 is more active than White's Knight on e4
- (306)
weak pawns: creating holes
1. d4 d5 2. c4 e6 3. Nc3 Nf6 4. Bg5 Be7 5. Nf3 Nbd7 6. e3
|White's plus points
This all suggests that White can, should and even must attack on the Queen's-side.

Dual-boot not working
On a Windows 7 system I installed, through Wubi, Ubuntu 9.10 a few days ago. The installation went fine and Ubuntu was working. But then, in my Windows, I changed a setting for the boot sequence, telling it not to wait to boot and setting Ubuntu as my primary operating system. Now, whenever I boot, I quickly see a selection screen between Ubuntu and Windows, but not for long (about less than a second). It then brings me to the Ubuntu selection screen, with an option to choose windows. If I choose that one, it just shows me the first selection screen in a flash again before going back to the Ubuntu selection screen. Now I like Ubuntu, but I want to use Windows too. Any help would be appreciated.
If you have a windows installation disk, you may be able to boot windows from that: i.e. you may be offered a menu of choices such as, boot from cd, boot from disk, rescue mode, etc.
Failing that, you could try booting Ubuntu, then mount the windows partition. Search through the windows files in hopes of finding a text file you can edit to change that setting to increase the time you have to select an OS to boot.
You could try using EasyBCD to edit your windows 7 bootloader files. It's a free download and easy to use and should include an option to change timeout. Not near a windows computer to check.

Police officer Stuart Dunlop jailed for 10 months for fraud
A Lothian and Borders Police officer who attempted to defraud his bank of £1,000 has been jailed for 10 months.
Stuart Dunlop, 33, tried to cover up his tracks by obtaining the branch's CCTV footage of the day in February 2010 he committed the offences.
At Edinburgh Sheriff Court last month he was found guilty of attempted fraud, wasting police time and attempting to pervert the course of justice.
Sentence was deferred until Wednesday for background reports.
Sheriff Nigel Morrison QC heard, during the trial, that on 26 February 2010, Dunlop had gone into the Royal Bank of Scotland branch in John Street, Penicuik, and told an employee that his bank card had been stolen and sums of money totalling £1,000 had been fraudulently withdrawn.
He persuaded the teller to record the details and report the theft so that the £1,000 could be re-instated into his account.
He had, in fact, withdrawn the money himself. Dunlop then went into Corstorphine Police Station and reported the theft of his card to PC Robert Maloney.
On 4 March 2010, believing that the RBS branch's CCTV recording of February 26 would identify him carrying out the attempted fraud, he returned to the branch.
He told an employee that he was acting on behalf of PC Robert Maloney and required the CCTV recording.
This was an attempt to conceal the evidence implicating him in fraudulent activity and an attempt to pervert the course of justice.

You might have shelves lined with books explaining how to get ahead at work or how to answer tricky interview questions to land your dream job. But what about the things you shouldn't do?
There might not be a shelf full on the etiquette of shaking hands, or what you should never say in a job interview, or how to stop whining and rise up the corporate ladder, but several LinkedIn Influencers weighed in this week on exactly those things — what not to do if you want to get ahead.
Here's what some of them had to say.
James Caan, chief executive officer at Hamilton Bradshaw Group
We all know that "setting yourself apart from the crowd is vital when you are looking for that new job," wrote Caan in his post What Not to Say in a Job Interview. But do we know what we should never say?
There are "very common… phrases which you should try to avoid" wrote Caan. Among them:
"'I don't know.' The best way of dealing with the tough questions is to do your homework. The importance of research cannot be understated — you should know about the company, and be prepared for anything you will be asked about your own CV," explained Caan. "Of course if there is a question which you are not expected to know the answer to, or if you are genuinely stuck, don't make things up or try to bluff your way through. Move back into your comfort zone, relate the question back to something you do know and take on board any new information you are given."
"'I dislike my current company.' You never want to turn the tone of the interview negative, even if you may be having a bad experience at your current job," Caan wrote. "All this does is make you seem like somebody who is difficult to manage."
Bernard Marr, chief executive officer at Advanced Performance Institute
What's the first thing you do when you meet someone new through work? That's right — shake hands. The handshake is critical in business. "Getting it wrong can create awkward moments and distract from making a good first impression," wrote Marr in his post Six Ways NOT to Shake Hands.
Among the worst-offending handshake mistakes, Marr cited:
"The sweaty slip. Some people have a natural tendency to get sweaty hands and many get them when they are nervous, that's just normal," he wrote. "It can make shaking hands tricky in stressful situations such as job interviews. However, I think there is no excuse for a wet handshake."
"The limp fish. Not gripping the other person's hand firmly enough and then shaking from your wrist is a big mistake," Marr wrote. The message it sends, he wrote: "'I am not confident' or 'I am a push-over'."
"The avoider. "Someone that doesn't make eye contact when they shake your hand or someone that pulls away too quickly… signals to me that they are either under-confident, very shy, or they don't really want to meet me or shake my hand," cautioned Marr.
Scott Case, co-founder and chief executive officer at Main Street Genome
In many careers, the 10-year mark can be a moment when a common theme emerges: "You're in your early to mid-30's. You have a good job, a nice life at home, but something is missing. Nothing is wrong, but nothing is awesome," wrote Case in his post Stop Whining.
"You are 'good enough' at work… but you are not progressing," wrote Case. "Why aren't you moving forward? Why aren't you doing what you want to do?"
There are four excuses Case hears regularly. Among the whining to leave behind:
"'I'm too busy.' Guess what, we're all busy," Case wrote. "In the end, you will regret all of the opportunities you passed on. If a chance is presented, then change your schedule and make the time. It's that simple."
"'I'm lazy.' I've never had anyone give me this excuse, but for some people it's an underlying issue," explained Case. "It's time to stop being so lazy. Nothing is going to fall into your lap. Create opportunity for yourself."
"'It's not the right time.' There will never be a right time. There is never a good time to get married, quit your job, buy a house, or start a company.

Apple and Sony Join Forces for iPhone 5?
Because it's fun to work with your competitors!
Taipei Times reports (AppleInsider) that Stone Wu, a senior analyst with IHS Displaybank, has stated that Sony (NYSE: SNE) began mass producing in-cell touch panels last February. But instead of using the panels exclusively for its own line of smartphones, Sony began mass production to supply Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) with a large number of panels for the upcoming iPhone 5.
Apple already works with some of its competitors, including Samsung, to build parts for its most popular devices. If the analyst is right, Apple will add yet another competitor to its supplier list.
The benefits that Sony may bring, however, could be worth the alliance.
"In-cell screen tech allows for thinner smartphones because its design embeds the display's capacitive touch sensors into the LCD filter array rather than stacking two components on separate pieces of glass," AppleInsider explains. "Due to the technology's complexity, however, the average fabrication yield is relatively low, which has forced Apple to secure the components from a number of suppliers."
Alliance Today, Problems Tomorrow?
Thus far, Apple has had success in joining forces with its most lethal competitors, including those it has taken to court over patent infringement. Meanwhile, Samsung is more than content to supply Apple with all of the displays it needs. The Galaxy S III manufacturer wants to be the world leader in smartphone production, but it also wants to profit in any way that it can. By helping Apple, it can do just that.
However, you have to wonder what might become of these alliances as the patent wars heat up. Thus far, Apple has not had much of a problem with Sony, which might be part of the reason why the two are willing to work together. But if Samsung suddenly decided to pull its supplies -- either in retaliation over a patent issue or to cripple Apple's supply chain -- Apple could be seriously hurt. The company is credited with having the best supply chain in the world. But that chain can only function with the help and cooperation of its suppliers.
In the event that Samsung or any other manufacturer bailed, Apple could surely find a replacement. But that could take time. If a supply disruption occurred during the launch of a new device (such as the iPhone 5 or the still-unconfirmed Apple Television), it could pose quite a threat to the company's bottom line.

Anybody have good recommendations for teeny covers starting at 4 or 5 pounds? I used proraps with DS (born 4 weeks early) but they scratched his legs. I'm having a hard time finding other covers that come in a preemie size (except for Imse Vimse which sound like they're made larger and are actually closer to a newborn size).
We used prefolds with DS for a few months and they worked great and plan to do the same for our twins coming in October (hopefully not before!).
Oh, I guess I would like recommendations for preemie sized prefolds too. I was looking at Bummis but has anybody used them and been happy with their prefolds?
Married to my wonderful DH; Mama to DS born 6-07 and 4 in heaven 1-06 (7 weeks) 1-10 (6 weeks) and our twins 5-11, one sweet boy (17 weeks) and one precious baby girl (18 1/2 weeks).
In the middle of our adoption journey and are excitedly waiting to get matched with a birth mom
I have preemie prefolds from Cotton Babies. Swaddlebees are also really nice prefolds I think anyway, though they have pilled a little during the prep washes, I haven't actually gotten to use them yet since Baby Valentine is also due in October.
Have you looked at Proraps? http://www.cottonbabies.com/product_info.php?products_id=284
AppleCheeks Envelope Covers,size 1 are smaller than a lot of the other XS/S covers I have or have looked at: http://www.motheringgrace.com/shopping/index.php?dispatch=products.view&product_id=29807Thirsties XS covers are the second smallest cover I have: https://www.thirstiesoutlet.com/SearchResults.asp?Cat=1
I can take comparison pictures the NB size Prorap, AppleCheeks and Thirsties if that will help you.
I love making a home for my man in uniform and my children.
my LO was 4lbs 11oz at her lowest weight. I found virtually all preemie covers way to big. the closest good fit we got was with the litwrap preemie but even those gapped (though they look unreal tiny when they arrive) Preemie proraps were gigantc super huge... What worked best were bummi superbrite covers and bummi orginal covers both in NB size. I also had some nanabottom AIOS that were a great fit she dos covers too and I'd bet those would work well.
We used motherease XS riki wraps when DD was tiny, I'd guess just over 5lb. They were a bit big for the first couple of weeks but providing the nappy was snappied tightly enough we didn't have leaks. We actually used these for a few months and went straight into the medium size. I guess we'd got used to things being a bit on the big side!
We also had a premmie pro wrap which was a bit smaller. We didn't use that one much though as it didn't cover the nappies we were using that well, not enough material at the sides.
Thanks for the replies. You've given me several options to look at! I love cloth diaper shopping :D :D

This Friday, May 8th, TechSoup's Nonprofit Commons in Second Life meeting will feature iSkye Silverweb, and a discussion on prepping presenters, from new user entry point, to delivery of their presentations. As we all know, there is a bit of a learning curve for new avatars entering Second Life. There are numerous help islands, orientation centers and mentor programs to help make the experience more pleasant and even fun. Not everyone who enters Second Life is coming in merely to explore or discover what is here in Second Life. Some come in for a specific purpose, such as attending a class or a presentation, or even to give a presentation. To address the needs of these individuals who come to present at Virtual Ability's two annual conferences, and also to assist presenters at VWBPE's conferences, iSkye Silverweb has developed a system for quickly orienting and training presenters coming into Second Life for the first (and hopefully not the only) time. She will share her thoughts on this and her best practices for helping these first-time-in-SL presenters to have a positive and successful experience in this virtual setting.
This Friday, April 24th, TechSoup's NonProfit Commons in Second Life we will have an open forum that will give us a chance to ask deeper questions from our past week's topics, discuss upcoming Nonprofit Commons events and other projects such as the design and planning of our community welcome area and resource library. It will also be an opportunity to ask any burning tech or community questions you might have.
Join us in Second Life!
Nonprofit Commons Weekly Meeting
Friday, April 24th, 8:30 AM PT / SLT
Plush Nonprofit Commons Amphitheater
AGENDA (all times below PT)
The mission of the Nonprofit Commons in Second Life is to create a community for nonprofits to explore and learn about virtual worlds, foster connections, and discover the many ways in which nonprofits might utilize the unique environment of Second Life to achieve their missions.
This Friday, April 17th, TechSoup's NonProfit Commons in Second Life is happy to feature Jacques Macaire (jacmacaire Humby in SL), who will discuss Earth Day, environmental awareness and sustainability. Earth Day is an annual global event celebrated on April 22nd to show support for the protection of our planet and those living on it. This year is Earth Day's 45th anniversary and the year to change our future, by becoming ourselves the leaders. It's our turn to lead.
Jacques will also share some of the sustainability action and work with the nonprofit HUMANBE he founded, and also with the other nonprofits he helps as Sustainable Human Development Director of PROTECT YOURSELF1 or with EARTH GUARDIANS FRANCE which is part, on April 22, 2015, one of the biggest grassroots effort in History on Earth Day by planting trees or seeds, with the ONE BILLION TREE project. He will also introduce us to the actions of its youth founder, Xiuhtezcatl, a 14 year old boy.

This Friday, April 10th, TechSoup's NonProfit Commons in Second Life will feature Jean Albert Renaud (JarHorseman in SL) who will introduce his program Project Arrowhead in support of National Youth HIV & AIDS Awareness Day.
Created in 2012 by twelve founding partners, National Youth HIV & AIDS Awareness Day (NYHAAD) is a day to educate the public about the impact of HIV & AIDS on young people and is now officially recognized by AIDS.gov. Today's young people are the first generation, who has never known a world without HIV and AIDS. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), one in four new HIV cases is among youth ages 13 to 24. While there has been much talk about an AIDS-free generation, we know that this is not possible without our nation's youth and prevention programs that address the youth needs.
Jean Albert Renaud (JarHorseman in SL) is a visionary, music producer and former Motown songwriter and recording artist. JAR is a celebrated international horseman and horse breeder who has trained horses and riders for members of the royal families of Qatar, the United Arab Emirates and the United Kingdom. His horsemanship is featured in many documentaries. He has combined these skills, resources and energies as an activist, to launch efforts to raise awareness about Human Rights issues, to empower youth, protect wild horses and promote HIV/AIDS awareness and prevention practices. It is through his vision and commitment that Protect Yourself1, was founded in 2004. JAR developed Project Arrowhead, a program that empowers and protects America's Treasures: America's youth, the future builders of our nation and the Mustang, who helped transform America's wilderness into the foundation for today's contemporary society. Project Arrowhead, connecting at-risk youth and horses, is designed to raise the consciousness level of youth on ecological issues and urban concerns. In 2013, Jean Albert Renaud was selected as a BMe leader, and his program Project Arrowhead was selected as a recipient of the 2013 Miami Foundation Black Male Engagement Fund.

Underage drinking is always polarizing, but after a recent incident, news outlets' inaccurate reporting — and a 21st-century twist — exacerbated an already hot-button issue.
On Dec. 10, Montgomery County police gave citations to approximately 35 Walt Whitman High students who were caught drinking at a Bethesda house party. Then, last month, ABC 7 News (WJLA) reported that Whitman's principal, using what he found on students' Facebook pages, suspended at least three dozen students from extracurricular activities. The next day, WTOP news radio claimed, "Fourteen students at Walt Whitman High in Bethesda have been suspended from extracurricular activities after the principal discovered pictures on Facebook of them drinking at an off-campus party." The Gazette and several Patch news sites' coverage also included errors.
Message boards, forums and listservs — not to mention Facebook and Twitter — lit up with debates, nasty comments and overwhelmingly negative protests. Schools have "no jurisdiction over those kids if it didn't happen on school property," local viewers argued. Commenters maintained that a school's job is to "educate," not to parent; that schools shouldn't "stick their noses where they don't belong." Many of the attacks targeted Whitman principal Alan Goodwin, accusing him of "abusing his power" and "stepping out of bounds." His actions were "snoopy and neurotic," sniped one poster. "Perhaps he has too much time on his hands, listening to 'gossip' and surfing 'Facebook'?"
It's probably safe to say that most principals do not have that kind of time. Would that they did. Regardless, here's what really happened, according to Goodwin, who says he first learned about the party from Whitman's athletic director after athletes confessed to coaches that they had received citations. Within hours, another student told Goodwin that news of the party was "all over Facebook." Eventually, students, coaches and party attendees shared the names of 11 of the 35 students who had been cited.
Goodwin didn't summon students to grill them about the names of the partygoers; he says he doesn't encourage "kids snitching on other kids." He did not surf Facebook to identify additional perpetrators. (Goodwin doesn't even have a Facebook account.) Instead, he gave each of the 11 identified students a minor school-related punishment, which is Whitman policy, as stated in the school's handbook and athletic participation contract. The five student athletes had to sit out their next two games, for instance, and the students who were not involved in extracurricular activities had to serve a few hours of community service.
So Goodwin did not, as ABC 7 reported, launch "a social media investigation." But let's say he did. Facebook isn't a personal diary. It's a public space, the 21st-century equivalent of a teen hangout like the 1950s roller rink or 1980s mall. If students are posting pictures or updates about illegal activities in a public domain, they can't expect adults to ignore them. By now, anyone who uses the site should be well aware that if you want something to remain private, you certainly don't post it on Facebook.
Social networking is also a continuation of the social part of the school day, and behaviors that occur online can spill over into school activities. For example, when Whitman administrators learn that Facebook posts have sparked taunting with a rival school before a big game, they sometimes hire extra security to monitor that game.
Even more to the point, in today's landscape, parents frequently ask administrators to help fight cyberbullying that occurs on Facebook; this, too, has happened at Whitman this year. (In such cases, rather than go on Facebook themselves, administrators ask the bullied students to bring in printouts of the offending pages.) In effect, some parents are seeking a Facebook double standard: "Please protect my child from one type of negative behavior, but don't concern yourself with another."
Those parents are missing the real messages, which have been buried beneath a cloak of sensationalized misinformation: That communities should thank, not berate, any principal who goes out of his way to keep students safe. And that what happens on Facebook doesn't stay on Facebook.
Alexandra Robbins is the author of "The Geeks Shall Inherit the Earth" and "The Overachievers," which was based at Walt Whitman High School.

Doubles stars Errani, Vinci lose opening matches at women's Rogers Cup
MONTREAL — Sara Errani and Roberta Vinci are the top doubles players on the WTA Tour, but it didn't help them in their opening round singles matches Monday at the US$2.44 million Rogers Cup.
Sabine Lisicki downed Errani 6-1, 7-5 while Barbora Zahlavova Strycova ousted Vinci 7-5, 7-5 in the first matches played at the hardcourt event.
Italians Errani and Vinci are ranked first in doubles, having taken Wimbledon and the Australian open titles this year.
But while Errani is 15th in singles, most of her success has been on clay courts, while Lisicki likes the faster surfaces. Lisicki hit the fastest recorded serve in WTA history of 211 kilometres per hour last week in the first round at Stanford, breaking Venus Williams' record.
Errani was serving for the second set at 5-3, but let it slip away.
Zahlavova Strycova advanced to a second-round meeting with third-seeded Agnieszka Radwanska. Lisicki next plays the winner between Svetlana Kuznetsova and Madison Keys.

WASHINGTON (AP) â¿¿ Wholesale price inflation likely slowed in October, reflecting a moderation in energy prices. The forecast is that the producer price index, which measures inflation pressures before they reach the consumer, rose 0.2 percent in October after a 1.1 percent gain in September, according to FactSet. The report will be released at 8:30 a.m. EST Wednesday by the Labor Department. Core inflation, which excludes volatile food and energy, is also expected to have increased just 0.2 percent in October. A sharp increase in gasoline costs over the summer drove wholesale prices higher in September. Gas prices have since come down and other prices have remained stable. The 1.1 percent overall gain in wholesale prices in September followed a 1.7 percent rise in August which had been the largest one-month increase in more than three years. The rise in both months reflected a big jump in gasoline. Core prices, which exclude food and energy, were unchanged in September, the best showing since they held steady in October 2011. In August, core prices rose 0.2 percent. Wholesale inflation has been stable over the 12 months that ended in September. In that time, overall prices have increased just 2.1 percent. Core inflation is up 2.3 percent over the 12-month period. Low inflation means consumers have more money to spend, which helps the economy. It also gives the Federal Reserve more room to keep interest rates low in an effort to spur economic growth. If prices were to begin rising rapidly, the central bank might be forced to raise rates in response. Economists believe that the modest gains in wholesale prices should translate into further moderation in consumer inflation, keeping it close to the Fed's 2 percent inflation target and allowing the central bank to keep focusing its policy on efforts to boost economic growth and reduce the unemployment rate.

The Hemolung System is designed to remove carbon dioxide and deliver oxygen directly to the patient's blood via a small catheter, inserted into the jugular or femoral vein, similar to acute kidney dialysis. This treatment is expected to provide a significant benefit over intubation and mechanical ventilation, in that it will allow the patient to talk and eat, and avoid sedation, while giving the lungs the opportunity to heal.
"ALung has the potential to improve care greatly for the target patient group over the current methods used in Intensive Care Units (ICUs), achieving both improvements in clinical outcomes and major savings in cost of care," said Peter M. DeComo, ALung's Chairman and CEO and an investor in the company. "Today's health care community is focused on the principal goals of reducing health care costs and improving patient care. Our device - which can eliminate a very large expenditure of money and human resources while improving outcomes for patients - will therefore be extremely relevant."
Currently 450,000 patients in the U.S. are ventilated each year for temporary, acute or acute-on-chronic respiratory failure. It is anticipated that the clinical trials will demonstrate that the Hemolung System can replace or supplement this form of ventilation. With intensive care unit (ICU) care estimated at $5-7,000 per day, Hemolung is expected to reduce hospital costs through its ability to reduce ICU length of stay. Further cost savings are expected to be realized through the elimination of sedation costs and a reduction in adverse outcomes such as ventilator acquired pneumonia (VAP) - estimated at greater than $125,000 per incident. VAP represents the most common and deadly hospital acquired condition (HAC) with approximately 25 percent of all ventilator patients developing the condition. (ref: Society of Critical Care Medicine).
"We are very enthusiastic regarding the positive outcome of our near-term clinical trials," said Mr. Nick Kuhn, Chief Operating Officer of ALung, "The completion of our eight animal studies, as well as our in vitro testing, have resulted in excellent results, indicating that the upcoming Hemolung human clinical trials should yield very positive results."
ALung is moving forward with a five patient "First in Man" trial in India on the Hemolung
System, and a 20 patient pilot trial in Germany. Both trials are expected to begin in the fourth quarter of 2009.
About ALung Technologies
ALung Technologies, Inc. is commercializing artificial lung devices for the treatment of acute and chronic respiratory disorders.

So that aspect I love and do not want to walk away from. But there is a lot of other BS going on that has me thinking about looking for work else where. Alot of BS. So I'm rsther frustrated right now and playing the wait and see game, see just how things play out the next two or three weeks.
Heh....I won't take out my red pen....
Well, it sounds like the group you work closest with is cool. As for the others, if they are not as much a part of your job...ignore them as best you can. Too bad about the BS; I presume you are referring to immature-silliness or politics, if it's anything like my past in that line of work. Sometimes it's good to keep an eye out for something better, but hold onto what you got in the meantime....hang in there, man.

SKS 7.62x39
I have a Norenco SKS,it has a basic black folding stock and im thinking about adding a scope,Tapco T6 stock and vertical grip.Has anyone here done this?
I put a Tapco stock on my Norinco SKS. I have sent back and forth with optics. All in all I like how the changes feel of the weapon now. There's a pic of it on the picture thread here (lower picture).
My SKS has the T6 stock. I like it well enough, but i kept the monte carlo it came in as well. Scope-wise, the problem is where/how to mount it. I didn't like either of the receiver cover mounts i bought. I plan to add a side rail scope mount from Kalinka, at some point.
I ordered one today,that looks great and like a blast to shoot.Did you have any problems replacing it or was it simply a drop in? Thanks for the reply!
Thanks for the reply,I did buy a cover with tactical rail pre attached for the scope,and I ordered the stock set today.Did you have any problems with installation or was it a simply drop in?
I didn't have any difficulty with the stock swap other than a tiny bit of tightness in the fit of the spike bayonet. It was a simple drop-in installation; iirc, you remove the magazine, then the trigger group, then swap everything to the new stock.
Thanks orangello,I was hoping it would be that simple.It should be here friday so im looking forward to getting it installed,
red dot
I recently modernized my sks and I was planning on adding a tru glo 30mm red dot. My mount is receiver cover with picatinny rail. Will it be a waste of time or will I be able to keep a decent zero?
it really depends what your going to do with it, if you want to have a really tight group ^^^^ go with what he said. If your looking at deer hunting and just want to hit it with the vitals at 50-100 yards you can mount it to the receiver.

When I was 5 years old, my dad told me I would become a writer, and he was not the kind of guy to argue with. He was a poet and songwriter, and he loved to give me and my sister writing or art assignments. One of my first efforts was a poem about a frog with a gas problem.
I went to journalism school and became a newspaper reporter, photographer, and newspaper section editor. My first magazine job was as editor of a city restaurant magazine in Vancouver, Canada. Then I moved to the US and went to journalism school again, becoming the editor-in-chief of two magazines and executive editor of another.
My last full-time job was as editor-in-chief of an electronic publishing company, Books That Work. In retrospect, we were trying to develop iPad apps in 1996, when all we had was CDs and no Internet. Still, I used my newspaper and magazine design skills to learn graphic user interface design and usability, which helped me when designing websites and blogs.
Since 1996, I've been self-employed as a writing coach, editor, writer and teacher. I missed working with writers so I became a writing coach, specializing in food, for aspiring and professional writers and bloggers around the world. I've written reviews, chef profiles, regular columns and recipes for national and international publications and websites. And I've written two books: Will Write for Food: The Complete Guide to Writing Cookbooks, Blogs, Reviews, Memoir, and More; and Grilled Pizzas and Piadinas, co-authored with chef Craig Priebe.

Hello and Thank you for choosing JustAnswer!
Try performing a hard reset:
1. Turn the phone off. If it won't turn off, take the battery out then put it back in.
2. Open the physical keyboard.
3. Press and hold the Power + R and Space keys.
4. The recovery screen will appear with a yellow exclamation point. Press Z and M together on the keyboard.
Now you'll lose all the info which isn't saved to SD card. All your contacts should already be saved to your google account so they should be safe as long as you remember your login info.
Let me know if you have any questions, also, please remember to click 'accept' before logging off. Thanks
That sucks, you've got a software problem on your hands. You can try the same steps with the phone plugged in via USB--but the phone will most likely need to be flashed. Verizon does offer phone flashing for most of their phones so unless you have a different carrier, I'd take it by there and have them flash the OS on it. If you don't have Verizon, then take it back under your 12 month warranty (if applicable). There's really nothing you can do to make it boot up besides flashing the phone I'm afraid.
Please don't hesitate to ask me if you have any questions, also, even though you've posted a deposit, you still need to click 'accept' if you have no further questions.

A workshop held at Bexhill Museum looked at the existing names recorded on the Civilian War Dead Memorial on Marina.
The workshop was held to discuss the possibility of adding names that had been missed off when the memorial was first installed in 1995. The criteria for inclusion was discussed and concluded that all civilians named on the memorial should be civilian victims of war from within the old Bexhill Borough and also Bexhill civilians dying outside the borough from 1939 to 1945.
Dave Hatherell, a local historian, presented his research on the memorial plaque, its background and the civilians currently listed on it. He commented; "With increased use of the internet we now have easy access to the Commonwealth War Graves Commission's Roll of Civilian War Dead and Coroner's records. This has enabled a far deeper investigation than was possible in the 1990s."
Mr Hatherell went on to provide evidence to support his suggestions for additional names to be included on the memorial and also put forward a name of someone suggested by a family member who was unable to attend the session. The afternoon concluded with the showing of a collection of images held by the Museum of Bexhill during the Second World War, around which there was much discussion. Photography was restricted in Bexhill during the war so photos of this time are rare, if you have any photos of your own we would be very pleased to hear about them.
The inscription on the current Civilian War Dead Memorial is as follows:
'Former Borough of Bexhill
Roll of Honour of Civilian War Dead
Ada M. Adamson - 73 Yrs, Alfred V. Barker - 19 Yrs, Jane C. Cana - 84 Yrs, Leslie J. Collis - 44 Yrs, Edith L. Corke - 39 Yrs, Eleanor M. Coventry - 65 Yrs, Annie L. Coverdale - 75 Yrs, Evelyn Coverdale - 62 Yrs, John Croft - 41 Yrs, William M. Day - 59 Yrs, Edith E. Few - 65 Yrs, Frederick G. Kerley - 70 Yrs, Margaret Lawrence - 25 Yrs, Margaret I. Lawrence - 55 Yrs, Caroline Massey - 68 Yrs, Thomas Mepham - 69 Yrs, Bertram G. Niner - 39 Yrs, William G. Reeves - 53 Yrs, Violet B. Rose - 27 Yrs, Lily A. Smith - 54 Yrs, Harriet R. Tidd - 23 Yrs, Joan L. Timms - 19 Yrs, William Turner - 62 Yrs, Muriel A. Watson - 4 Yrs.'
Following the workshop and the invitation in the Bexhill Observer a few weeks ago for people to suggest names there are now 14 additional names to be considered for inclusion.
The names are:
Charles D. Buckworth-Herne-Soame - 52 Yrs, Anthony J. Cheese - 3 Yrs, Lilian Cockburn - 37 Yrs, Constance E. Collins - 23 Yrs, Leslie R. Curteis - 38 Yrs, Horace Day - 66 Yrs,
Ivy Etteridge - 23 Yrs, Arthur Fenner - 65 Yrs, George Gatey - 66 Yrs, Fred Gosden - 45 Yrs, William J. Harmer - 41 Yrs, Jessie Lucas - 68 Yrs, Arthur E. Mitten - 62 Yrs,
Alice M. M. Washbourne - 66 Yrs.
There is still time to suggest a name if you think that we have missed someone. If you think there is a Bexhill civilian who was killed due to the war (1939-1945) then please let us know and we will of course consider them. Contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com or by writing to Bexhill Museum, Egerton Road, Bexhill-on-Sea, East Sussex, TN39 3HL.

"Running around as you do with your head up in the clouds
I was like you
Never had time to lay back, kick your shoes off, close your eyes
I was like you
Now you're not hard to understand
You need someone to take your hand
Have you never been mellow? "
Hee hee – well enough easy listening, this is so. very. yummy.
Thanks to Den's I've discovered a newfound love for houjicha! I love the way this smells when it's steeping and the cup is dark, but very clean tasting, roasty but not excessively smoked or burnt. It's got a sweet finish reminiscent of caramel or burnt sugar. It doesn't taste like wet bark like some other houjichas I've had (well not much anyway)
This will be a great choice for my afternoon tea, low in caffeine and relaxing. It reminds me a bit of a roasted oolong. This is nice mixed with some soymilk too – I really need to make a houijcha latte someday! :)
As always, your mileage may vary but I thought this was super tasty. Also I was able to resteep it 3 times. :)
I love Houjicha! I could drink this tea every day. :)) Have you iced it? I get the feeling it would be quite tasty.


text: I HOPE there are five games on Sunday. I hate since I''ve moved to the NYC market all I get to see are crappy Jets and Giants games every damn Sunday. Used to be if Fox was showing a game I didn''t care about I could just watch the game on CBS. Not here, damn broadcast companies have all these exclusive agreements like if the Jets are on one channel, no other channel can broadcast another game at the same time. So instead of being able to see New England vs Indy which is showing everywhere else in the country on Fox, I get to see the Giants vs Cleveland on CBS. Woohoo! Way to help your customers!

Hi there,
I would like to know if anyone here knows or perhaps remembers "loops" in Visual Basic.
I want to loop some code which happens to be a 2D game.
Once my bitmap asteroid hits the bottom of the form1, how can I get the game to restart from the beginning. I'm not using arrays, just a bunch of asteroids moving down the form to eventually trigger game over.
So In gameover, I have the following. Once this asteroid hits the form, how do I "Loadsettings()" begin the program again.
Part of my program code.
private sub gameover contains the followingCode:Dim rocketleft As Boolean Dim rocketright As Boolean Dim asteroidspeed As Integer Dim asteroiddrop As Integer Dim asteroiddown As Boolean Dim rocketspeed As Integer = 21 Dim missilespeed As Integer = 22 Private Sub Timermain_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Timermain.Tick moveasteroid() checkgameover() moverocketship() firemissile() checkhit() End Sub Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load loadsettings() End Sub Private Sub loadsettings() asteroiddown = True asteroidspeed = 2 asteroiddrop = 40 checkgameover() rocketspeed = 21 missilespeed = 22 missile.Visible = False firemissile() checkhit() End Sub
Thank you for any assistance.Code:If PictureBox1.Top + PictureBox1.Width >= Me.ClientRectangle.Bottom And PictureBox1.Visible = True Then Timermain.Enabled = False MsgBox("Game Over- Region of space not protected!") End If

There was something sentimental about a campaign trail announcement made by Victorian Opposition Leader
There is always lots of talk about looking and listening during campaigns, so this was probably considered a reasonable backdrop for
Baillieu revealed that he could give the facility a personal endorsement. It seems that he required some attention to his eye after being given a kicking while playing for Melbourne Rugby Club.
After switching codes to AFL, Baillieu was back at the Eye and Ear again a few years later after attracting unwanted attention while playing for the Uni Blacks. Seems a fullback took advantage of the ball being at the far end of the field to, in Baillieu's words, "king hit" the future politician. For the record, and fittingly for a conservative, both hits were to his left eye socket.

text: Europe 7 December 2007 A Danish row on British shores How a row between two Denmark-based academics broke out on newstatesman.com. Here Hans Hauge respond By Hans Hauge Sign up for our weekly email * It is somewhat strange to find oneself attacked by a colleague, Tabish Khair, in The New Statesman.Khair teaches English literature in the University of Aarhus, Denmark. I teach in the same institution. Frequently he voices his criticism of Denmark in various English newspapers. He apparently dislikes the country. A few months after the Muhammad cartoon crisis he complained to The Guardian that there was no space left for him in Denmark. The popular Danish-Palestinian politician, leader of the party New Alliance, Naser Khader, was silencing him. An absurd claim. Nobody silences Khair. Later Khair characterised Denmark as an atheist country without any sense of spirituality, something he found quite disturbing. He himself, however, regards himself an atheist. Recently he has attacked me and the cultural climate at large in this article for newstatesman.com: 'Reds under Danish beds'. He labels me quixotic because I have pointed out that Marxists, or whatever one is allowed to call them these days, still dominate universities, the arts, and the media. He cannot spot any. I see many; he sees none. We can't both be right. Who is the most reliable witness? All polls show unequivocally that the student body and a majority of university teachers vote for parties on the left, even the far left. Where does he think his own head of department belongs politically? I shall inform him next time we meet in the canteen. The fact of the matter is that if, like me, you do not belong to the Left you are the odd man out. Writing, as I do, a weekly column for the newspaper Jyllands-Posten doesn't make things better. It is true, as Khair notes that Prime Minister Anders Fogh Rasmussen has been voted back for the third time. Khair brands his liberal-conservative government a "conservative-liberalist". It isn't liberalist. The Danish People's Party supports the government. That party is an old-fashioned social democratic one that defends the nation state. Khair calls it "xenophobic", but conveniently fails to mention that Naser Khader's New Alliance also supports the government. As to the universities he is on most points simply ill informed. No one, he says, read Marx, Adorno, Althusser and Fanon. If they do they are being weeded out. It is again an absurd remark. The fact is that if you want a job in the humanities you had better write about such people. Why does Khair think he was hired? He is partly right when he says universities here, as elsewhere, are being restructured, but he is wrong when he says along neo-liberalist lines. It is done according to the principles of New Public Management. He claims there is opposition against this. Indeed. We are a small group, including me, who keep protesting, but Khair is silent. He then mentions gender and post-colonial studies. They are "less funded" than in other countries. Again he is wrong. Aarhus University was one of the first universities in the world to institute post-colonial studies. It began with an Institute of Commonwealth Literature back in 1964. 1971 saw the first conference on Commonwealth literature with Wilson Harris, Shiva Naipaul, Sam Selvon participating. The Aarhus-based journal Kunapipi was a leading post-colonial one. I have just published a book of post-colonial essays. One of Khair's colleagues refused to co-edit the book with me because it wasn't Marxist. Khair finishes his contribution with a number of anti-globalist phrases about "democratic international socialism", and he sounds pretty much like the feisty Indian communist Prakash Karat. (CPI-M). For Khair and Karat globalisation is Capitalism. Denmark is closed to non-European immigration, he writes, and I read that statement the very day a fairly large number of Indian doctors arrived in this part of the country to work in the region's hospitals. Tabish Khair mentions the "contradictions of Capitalism". It is, indeed, a contradiction that the Danish state pays him so generously for spreading the message of international socialism, let alone why he happily accepts being paid by such a state. But, surely, one day, he hopes he can return to Britain. Oh, to be in England.
