Revolutions are still televised, but they get Tumblr'd, tweeted and YouTubed first. This one started last summer when music micro-bloggers began deifying a pack of nine skateboarding, freewheeling teenaged rap vandals from Los Angeles. Full name: Odd Future Wolf Gang Kill Them All -- or OFWGKTA if you're into brevity.
Like most Internet contagions, the first germs of information spread via viral video. Directed by the crew's founder, Tyler the Creator, the clip for a song called "French" felt like Larry Clark's "Kids" updated for the "Jackass" and American Apparel generation: full of skateboarding, vomiting, automatic handguns and suggestive maneuvers with a plastic Ronald McDonald statuette.

EDMOND — EDITOR'S NOTE: This is a weekly series of columns written by attorneys at Lester, Loving & Davies law firm in Edmond.
Q: We are selling our house and are considering providing owner financing. Is this a good idea?
A: I am not a financial planner, and offer no financial advice. But, there are a number of financial factors you should consider to determine whether owner financing is the right option.
If you sold your house for cash, what would you do with the money? If you currently owe money on your home, then the sale proceeds would first go to eliminate the mortgage. But what would you do with the rest? Do you need it to purchase another home? Would you invest it or use it to pay off other debts? Compare the return you would receive on the underlying capital. Sometimes you will make a better return by carrying the financing, but the answer depends on your own financial situation.
It is even more critical to fully evaluate the condition of the buyers. Make sure they can afford the payment. Usually, a credit check and review of their tax returns will provide the answer. But also consider how they will take care of the property. If they default, you likely will be taking the home back from them. What condition will it be in then?
If you provide owner financing, there are different contractual arrangements to consider. Usually, deeding the house to them and taking a note and mortgage back is the cleanest way. The new buyer owns the home and you have no responsibility or liability for the property. If they default, though, you will have to file a lawsuit to foreclose the mortgage in order to get the house back.
A similar option is to execute a contract for deed so that you continue to own the home while they pay for it. You only transfer the home to them when they have fully paid. This sounds safer, but is usually a less attractive option. If they default, you still have to file a foreclosure suit. And because you still own the house, you have greater exposure to liabilities to them and others.
You might also sell the house to them under a lease-purchase agreement. The benefit here is that if they stop paying and refuse to vacate, a lawsuit for forcible entry and detainer should suffice. This is a quicker and cheaper option than foreclosing a mortgage, but the contract must be worded very carefully to be effective.

It's funny what people will spend their time and money on. Some really weird crochet projects are on the internet. Look what I ran across:
a life-sized dog complete with a bright collar!
I don't know what this is, but it's kinda neat. You know how I love freeform crochet. Think this might be a pretty good example of it. Maybe it's a placemat??
Of course, amigurumi often produces some weird 'animals'. I think this one is adorable.
Planning ahead for next Halloween, you might need a disguise. Crochet one!
This may well be the weirdest crochet anywhere. Kinda cool idea. Take all your UFO's, abandoned projects, and failed designs and use them to cover up something even uglier.

The Grizzlies apparently are playing musical chairs in the infirmary.
Second-year guard Josh Selby is back on the court, running through full-contract practices. But Wayne Ellington took Selby's place on the injured list after crashing hard to the court midway through Monday's workout.
Ellington collided with camp hopeful Jerome Jordan (center) and then landed on his right knee under the basket. Ellington needed assistance to walk into the trainer's room where he began receiving treatment for a bruised right knee and sore right foot.
Ellington eventually left practice walking gingerly. He is listed as day-to-day. Rookie Tony Wroten also sat out with a right ankle sprain he suffered Sunday before the Grizzlies' preseason victory over the Atlanta Hawks. Zach Randolph was given the day off.
This is a make-or-break season for Ellington (no pun intended) because of his contract situation. The guard, whom the Griz received in a trade that sent Dante Cunnignham to Minnesota, is in the final year of his contract.
Ellington is among the players in the draft Class of 2009 eligible for a contract extension by Oct. 31. If he doesn't get the extension, Ellington will become a restricted free agent next summer. Other teams will be able to make offer sheets that the Griz would have a right to match.
David Aldridge of NBA.com and TNT gave a rundown on the Class of 2009 extensions: http://on.nba.com/RZAkjo. Here's what Aldridge had to say about Ellington:
28. Wayne Ellington, Timberwolves (traded to Grizzlies): It would be hard to explain why O.J. Mayo couldn't get an extension, but Ellison, acquired from Minnesota for Dante Cunningham in July, could.
Mayo actually had a better chance. Ellington won't get an extension given the Grizzlies' pending change in ownership. Plus, Ellington hasn't yet hit his stride as a shooter over the past three seasons.

Ode to a Poo Bag
I am a handy poo bag, made of plastic pure and tough.
But alas, as for my insides, they are filled with stinky stuff.
My purpose, not a noble one, but useful nonetheless.
For without me, it is clear to see, our town would be a mess.
Dog owners from all walks of life, and each ethnicity,
Can pick me up with confidence, and put their trust in me.
Responsible pet lovers are always in the know.
They can be sure; I am made strong, to last through sun and snow.
But sadly now, my tale will turn, to gloom instead of glee.
Once cherished, I'm abandoned now, as my handlers simply flee.
Their thoughts are good, and some would say, intentions are what count.
Yet the sight of me, strewn here and there, make tensions only mount.
So as you enjoy your doggy's life, in city, field, and trail,
Remember please to use me well, then put me in the pail!
-- Elaine Elkins of Bellingham, via Letters to the Editor

(MayoClinic.com) Do you make time for healthy cooking when you're cooking for yourself? If not, you're selling yourself short. Instead of settling for leftovers and frozen dinner, try experimenting with these tips on healthy cooking for one or two:
Finding inspiration may be one of the biggest challenges when it comes to cooking for one. Fortunately, you can find a multitude of cookbooks about cooking for one or two people. Some even provide practical advice on such things as selecting healthy foods, planning menus, shopping and reading food labels.
Don't be afraid to mix things up and try a nutritious snack instead of a traditional meal when you're short on time or energy. For example, spread a brown rice cake with ricotta cheese and fresh strawberries or herbed goat cheese and sliced olives. Other snack-turned-meal ideas are corn muffins served with apple and cheese slices, or fat-free refried beans mixed with salsa, a small amount of low-fat sour cream and baked tortilla chips.
Finally, why not treat yourself to company from time to time? Invite friends or relatives over to sample some of your home cooking. Or start a cooking club — it's a great opportunity to try new recipes and have fun in the kitchen.

Trailer For Morgan Spurlock's COMIC-CON EPISODE IV: A FAN'S HOPE
Morgan Spurlock (Super Size Me) along with Stan Lee and Joss Whedon seem to have put together a nerdtastic documentary about Comic-con and the fans who gather by the thousands each year in San Diego, California to attend the world's largest comic book convention.
His camera was rolling in 2010 on Comic-Con Episode IV: A Fan's Hope and by the looks of the trailer he's decided to stay behind the lens and let Kevin Smith talk, that's unfortunate.
Have you ever imagined a place where Vulcans and vampires get along? Where wizards and wookies can be themselves? Welcome to Comic-Con San Diego. What started as a fringe comic book convention for 500 fans has grown into the pop culture event of the year that influences every form of entertainment, now attended by over 140,000 strong. COMIC-CON EPISODE IV: A FAN'S HOPE- a film by Morgan Spurlock explores this amazing cultural phenomenon by following the lives of five attendees as they descend upon the ultimate geek mecca at San Diego Comic-Con 2010.
Watch the trailer below:

Mountain Cat Men Fall, 82-72, at #13 IUP
The tough schedule for the Mountain Cat men's basketball team continued Monday night with a trip to local rival and #13-ranked Indiana University (PA). Junior guard
Steve Scorpion
(Murrysville, Pa.) drained five three-pointers and ended with a team-high 19 points, but Pitt Johnstown was unable to erase a 12-point halftime deficit and fell to the Indians, 82-72.
, a two-time Independent Player of the Week selection, finished 7-10 from the field and 5-7 from three-point range, but it wasn't enough to carry the Mountain Cats to a victory. Senior forward
Paul Byer
(Johnstown, Pa.) collected 14 points, including four three-point field goals, to move within four points of
Josue' Nieves
for 13th on the Mountain Cat All-Time Scoring List.
, who now has 1,019 career points, also pulled down four rebounds. Junior guard
Joey Tutchstone
(Vandergrift, Pa.) added 13 points (7-9 free-throws), six rebounds and three assists, while senior center
Carlos Cogsdell
(Homestead, Pa.) tallied nine points and six rebounds. Junior guard
Dwight Hines
(Aliquippa, Pa.) had nine points and a team-high five assists, and freshman forward
Chris Gilliam
(Baltimore, MD) scored eight points and pulled down four rebounds for Pitt Johnstown, now 8-11 on the season.
IUP, which held a 38-26 halftime lead, out rebounded the Mountain Cats 49-35 and shot 46.8% (29-62) from the field, while holding Pitt Johnstown to 38.2% (26-68) shooting from the field. The Mountain Cats knocked down nine three-point field goals and made 11 of their 13 free-throws. The Indians were 7-20 from three-point range and 17-26 from the free-throw line.
The Indians, also ranked fourth in the East Region, were led by Ayyub Ali's game-highs of 23 points and 16 rebounds. Marc Williams scored 13 points and grabbed nine rebounds and Eddie Peterson chipped in 13 points to lead IUP, which improved to 16-4 on the season.
Pitt Johnstown returns home to host the University of Charleston (WV) on Monday, February 7 at 8:00 p.m. as part of a doubleheader with the Lady Cat basketball team. The Lady Cats will host West Virginia State College at 6:00 p.m.

Enhanced RBC mobilization
Upon exercise, the horse's spleen contracts, adding a significant amount of red blood cells into the central circulation to
meet the demand of maximal exercise. Maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max) in the horse is 110 to 180 ml/kg/min, achieved in part because of splenic contraction and mobilization of up to 12 L
of extra red-cell-rich blood into central circulation during exercise. This innate ability to increase circulating blood volume
makes the horse a "natural blood-doper."2
Horses have some protective physiological mechanisms, says Ken McKeever, PhD, FACSM, professor of equine exercise physiology
at Rutgers University. "They can accommodate the huge amount of red cell volume that is squeezed in from the spleen at the
onset of exercise. There are also differences in the way the red cells can bend," he says. "Equine red blood cells are more
flexible and less fragile than human red blood cells, and they'll form up like a roll of coins when necessary in small vessels."
The compound rHuEPO has saved many human lives and enhanced the quality of life for patients with chronic renal failure. But
as soon as it was licensed for use in human medicine, the compound was being misused by individuals in both human and equine
sports medicine.
"We began research not only on detection methods (to try to determine its illicit use), but on whether rHuEPO would affect
aerobic capacity and athletic performance of horses," says McKeever. Some equine practitioners have questioned whether the
human form of erythropoietin would have an effect in the horse.
McKeever and his colleagues started their research with very low doses of rHuEPO (15 IU/kg given three times a week for three
weeks) in splenectomized horses to eliminate the possibility that splenic reserve was responsible for an increase in circulating
red cell volume and increased performance.
"We showed that rHuEPO causes an increase in red cell mass, hematocrit and aerobic capacity," McKeever says. "But at the same
time, we also saw an increase in blood viscosity, measured at different shear rates representative of different points in
the cardiovascular system (i.e. aorta versus capillaries). The take-home message was that the recombinant human EPO worked in horses, as suspected. But our
splenectomized study horses did not represent the intact racehorse."
McKeever, now at Rutgers Equine Science Center, did a followup study in standardbreds with intact spleens, following a similar
protocol but with a higher dose of rHuEPO (50 IU/kg given three times a week for three weeks). The purpose: to show that rHuEPO
increased red cell volume and aerobic capacity in an intact standardbred horse. But they also tried to detect antibodies to
the compound.
"It was common for a certain number of horses to show a cross-reactivity problem, as if the horse was responding to a foreign
protein," McKeever says. "After three injections of rHuEPO, the horses did show evidence of antibody production."
They also showed that the erythropoietin molecules were similar in humans and horses, that the erythropoietin is excreted
fairly rapidly and that the red cells that develop stay in the system for quite a long time, as do the antibodies. (The antibody
titer can therefore be used to detect rHuEPO, requiring horses to register a specific low level before they can race.)

YYC - Low expectations, big surprises?
Just had lunch at the Weaselhead pub on 37st SW. It's your standard neighbourhood bar (loads of TV's and the like) and I didn't have much in the way of expectations for the food, but the weaselhead burger (homemade beef patty, bacon and jalapenos) pleasantly surprised me. I'd definitely go back for another one.
This got me to thinking - what other places in town are diamonds in the rough? Places that you wouldn't normally give a second glance, but that deliver some really good food?
Any suggestions?
great topic!
We could probably fill this thread up with pub food, so I wanted to note one of the best loaves of bread I've had in 2009: It was a müsli loaf from Caffe Rosso which comes, I think, from City Bakery. I'd not usually think of getting bread (never mind a whole loaf) from a coffeehouse but this was just epic, completely memorable. Moist, sweet, we ate the whole thing with butter, nothing else.
re: John Manzo
@ John - Ah Bread, my second true love. I'll have to give Caffe Rosso a shot for that.
@ hclass - Olives is really close to my office - you're right - it's pretty good, but it's a little higher end than what I'm getting at here.
How about breakfast places? Any hole-in-the wall diners that I may have missed?

Visual Arts
FringeArts' commitment to the visual arts has been evident in our work for years. As the only multidisciplinary presenter of contemporary work in Philadelphia, it is our responsibility to provide access to the full range of artistic experience. As we expand our curation and production capacity in the realm of visual arts, we look forward to offering our audiences increased opportunities to engage with visual art and artists in new ways.
Resident Curator Nato Thompson of New York-based Creative Time has helped FringeArts refine its curatorial vision for the visual arts. The FringeArts visual arts platform will engage broader and more diverse populations than ever before reached by the annual Festival, expanding audiences and deepening public engagement. Public-informed work is on the forefront of contemporary art-making, and the projects we have planned underscore innovative and experimental public-informed approaches in a locally engaged forum.
Proposition Tent
In May, we began a recurring project entitled Proposition Tent, a temporary public art event that mingles cultural producers of diverse backgrounds to present ideas around one theme, under one tent. Coinciding with Philadelphia's First Friday art openings, we erect a large red tent at key locations around the city. For each event, we invite cultural producers from the following four categories: an international artist, a local artist, a creative business or non-profit, and a thinker or politician.
Festival Shows
For the 2013 Festival, we commissioned three artists to create works that directly involved specific communities in the creation and implementation of the art. Artists Navin Rawanchaikul, Mammalian Diving Reflex, and Liz Magic Laser were commissioned to create projects that each took place at the Plays and Players from September 11 - 14, 2013. Each commission focused on a particular sociopolitical issue and employed a distinct artistic form.
Our first major temporary public art commission entitled WetLand, will take place during the summer of 2014 by Brooklyn-based artist Mary Mattingly. WetLand will be a visually stunning utopic floating structure intended to ignite imaginations about a sustainable future. Free and open to the public, WetLand will be a water-based ecosystem replete with solar panels, gardens and housing, docked along the Delaware River. Creating an island-like environment, WetLand will be an educational space that visitors will be able to board in the hopes that it will stir their thinking about the uses of water.

Federal Judge, Appointed by Bush, Orders Release of 5 Gitmo DetaineesNovember 20, 2008
How about this good news? Now will these 5 men be released? Doesn't this leave about another 220 prisoners?
Obama's Civil Rights AgendaNovember 20, 2008
Hey everybody, this is Geoff. I work at the ACLU's Program on Freedom of Religion and Belief and I'm a former student of Laura Beth's. I have not been writing for the blog lately because law school applications have consumed me. With all of that thankfully behind me, I am excited to get back to blogging.
I am sure that you know about Change.gov, the website for the office of President-elect Obama. What you may not know is that this page is already in its second iteration. Obama's team wiped the site of its substantive content — i.e. specific policy changes — five days ago and replaced it with a simple statement of change. Bloggers have done a great job of cataloging the pre-wipe content. For example, here is what the "Civil Rights" section of Change.gov looked like on November 7th.
Notice the text, "Strengthen Civil Rights Enforcement: Obama and Biden will reverse the politicization that has occurred in the Bush Administration's Department of Justice. They will put an end to the ideological litmus tests used to fill positions within the Civil Rights Division." That language has been removed from the re-launched website, here. There is also a new, much larger explanation of Obama's GLBT-related policies.
This change is not very surprising, but it does raise a few questions. First, why remove the old content entirely before changing it? The act of taking down all of the issue-pages certainly raised flags here at the ACLU where we were wondering what sort of pushback could have caused Obama to do so. Now that the page has been restored to a similar state, I am confident that this civil rights agenda will be stable going forward.
Second, what do you think about this language regarding employment discrimination? "Combat Employment Discrimination: Obama and Biden will work to overturn the Supreme Court's recent ruling that curtails racial minorities' and women's ability to challenge pay discrimination. They will also pass the Fair Pay Act, to ensure that women receive equal pay for equal work, and the Employment Non-Discrimination Act, to prohibit discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity or expression." Laura Beth, what role can the executive branch play in helping to bolster plaintiffs' standing to bring these types of lawsuits? I don't think the Department of Justice will be brining any cases of this sort, but I hope that I'm wrong.
In any event, there mere existence of this website is a positive development for the future of the executive branch. Could anyone imagine Bush/Cheney launching a similar page in '04? Yikes. I am just glad to see that transparency will rule the day over secrecy in the new administration.
the (il)legality of ugly foodNovember 20, 2008
A downward spiral in the global economy does some interesting things to the legality of unaesthetic food (in Europe, of course).
Let's not lose sight of the bigger picture, folksNovember 14, 2008
In parts of the world, atrocities continue:
"Orphans and lost children slept at the Don Bosco Ngangi Center in Goma, in eastern Congo. Fighting in Congo intensified in August and has since displaced at least 250,000 people despite the presence of the largest United Nations peacekeeping force in the world. United Nations officials say both the rebels and government troops have committed crimes against civilians."
When I saw this photograph in yesterday's Times, my first thought was, can I have 2 of this kids? or 3? And then I thought, oh hell, I'll take them all.
My second thought was, thank God these children are in a Salesian orphange. The Salesians are dedicated missionaries. A friend of mine, Fr. John Thompson, a Salesian ordained when I was a senior in high school, worked in Sierra Leone for more than 20 years until it became too dangerous for him to live there any longer. So they reassigned him to Liberia. I don't know if he's still there. In any case, please pray for these people and for those who care for them. I think we can assume that our next president won't forget about genocide in Africa.
Everyone SangNovember 13, 2008
Back to the partisan stuff — Alex Ross's outstanding blog, The Rest Is Noise, has embedded video of post-election celebrants singing The Star-Spangled Banner in Washington Square, and links to YouTube posts of spontaneous T S-S B outbursts in places like Berkeley, Ann Arbor, and Madison. Take that, Hank Williams, Jr. Here's the link. As Mr. Ross notes:
Two obvious conclusions: 1) contra Palin, the entire country is "pro America"; 2) increased support for music education would be nice.
Also — snobby, elitist bonus points for those who get the allusion in the title of this post.
what's up with us?November 12, 2008
how come we aren't pulling stuff like this? I mean, if you are going to have a blog, this is what it shoudl eb doing! HA!
For the record: there is no truth to the rumor that Palin did not know that Africa was a continent. But ask in 2 years . . . This is actually quite scary. the thing I like most is that Fox news was the first to report the information from the "leak."
Cool Maps of the Election Results, courtesy Scientific AmericanNovember 12, 2008
How's this for some cross-disciplinary techno-gizmo fun:
I still don't understand why I can't get pictures to embed directly into my posts . . . anyway, this is a slideshow on Scientific American's website, designed by a physicist at U of Michigan to overcome the geographical bias of the usual electoral map. I particularly like map #4, the county-level map adjusted for population.
Does anyone have any new insight into why rural areas continue to vote Repubilcan so consistently and urban areas vote Democratic (note my use of the adjectival form of the word)? It was a hopeful sign at least to me that every single county in Indiana had a higher Democratic turnout in 2008 than in 2004. But as Jeff's posts with the New York Times maps pointed out, that wasn't true in a number of places, particularly in the deep deep South.
HarryNovember 11, 2008
It's my blog so I can add this non legal point. I am seeing this guy at a secret performance on thursday for fan members only in a very small venue.

I'd like to announce that I'm legally changing my name to Ron Artest, on account of he's changing his name to Metta World Peace, which — small world — was actually my birth name.
If this name change goes through — I go before the judge on a variety of matters next week — I hope to pick up a percentage of Artest's jersey sales, though I realize I've never seen anyone actually wear an Artest jersey, other than Artest himself. Even then, it was somewhat reluctantly. Obviously, he's found a way to remedy that.

In an unprecented move for a major U.S. film festival, AFI Fest in Los Angeles will offer free tickets to all screenings at this year's event, set for October 30th to November 7th. Also, the festival is moving from the Arclight to Mann's Chinese Theater in Hollywood this year, while also featuring a weekend of showings in Santa Monica, pegged to the annual AFM.
Organizers are touting a celebration of sponsor Audi's centennial as a hook for the shift. "Presenting the screenings compliments of AFI and Audi is our way of reaching out to film lovers in these challenging times and inviting them to see a movie on us," AFI President & CEO Bob Gazzale said in a statement.
Fest patrons who buy passes will still gain priority access at evening showings and gala events, which are the biggest draw for the festival, but even those popular screenings will feature a limited number of complimentary spots. Other than those patron spots, all tickets will be free, organizers said.
Submissions for AFI Fest '09 are being accepted through the end of July. For more information, visit the festival website. The event is being programmed by AFI FEST Artistic Director Rose Kuo, with film writer Robert Koehler and AFI FEST programmer Lane Kneedler.

I have to say I have mixed feelings about this. If it gets folks to try films they would not normally see this is great. On the other hand, from an organizational standpoint this could be a nightmare as the dynamic of getting tickets changes and puts a different pressure on organizers. Also, it will probably be on a 'first come first serve' basis which makes it tough for people who normally get tickets [not passes] in advance. Maybe they will still offer tickets online in advance?

Drawing Lines in the Water: A Multimedia Presentation and Prognosis on the South China Sea
SEAF Seminar
Date and Time
February 20, 2013
Open to the public
RSVP required by 5PM February 19
Gregory Poling - Research Associate, Sumitro Chair for Southeast Asia Studies at Center for Strategic and International Studies, Washington, DC
Gregory Poling will begin with a multimedia presentation highlighting the most important aspects of the South China Sea disputes, including the competing legal claims, recent clashes, and the oil, fisheries, and trade interests that help feed the conflict. He will then examine recent actions by the various claimants and the motivations behind them, including the Philippines' recent decision to take China's claims to a UN arbitration tribunal. He will show why commentators have been too quick to dismiss Manila's case. During the Q&A he will field questions on any aspect of the disputes, including what they imply for Asia and US-Asian relations.
Gregory Poling's work at CSIS includes managing projects focused on US foreign policy in the Asia-Pacific, especially in Southeast Asia. In addition to the South China Sea, his research interests include democratization in Southeast Asia and Asian multilateralism. Before joining CSIS he lived and worked in China as an English language teacher. He has an MA in international affairs from American University, earned his BA in history and philosophy at Saint Mary's College of Maryland, and has studied at Fudan University in Shanghai.

It's 3-0 Orioles before the Yanks even have a chance to come to bat. Chien-Ming Wang has picked a rather bad time to forget how to pitch.
12 Comments»
How fast can Ian Kennedy be at 161st and River from Scranton. Maybe we can use the old Doug Mirabelli state trooper escort thru Jersey to the GW?
How fast could he helo in from Buffalo?
this is completely random, but the yankees have a predicament for the 5th starter spot early next year. Joba cant start the year in the rotation because he needs to keep his innings down. i think we're gonna see igawa for the first month or so :0 unless karstens impresses.
ye of little faith….4-2
4-3…shit, botched that one
"Unfortunately, Mr. Kennedy is on the mound in Buffalo tonight. He's not pitching tomorrow."
–And doing quite a good job of it again, I might add…
Yeah…does it bug anyone that Kennedy's not starting tomorrow, even though at the moment I type this he's sporting an era of .82? What's Karstens' right now, 10 plus…?
I don't care if Kennedy blows up before this game is over, Karstens starting tomorrow makes me very, very, nervous.
Can some one please explain how Molina has a lower OBP than AVG? Just wondering.
Sacrifice hits.
looks liek wangers innings are getting to him a bit… gotta battle through it. have faith. after all, he is the wanger.
4 walks, 2 k's and 3 runs in 6 innings…things arent looking too good for kennedy tonight. something about playing buffalo doesnt agree with him

MANKATO — Karen Knox, Linda Good and others in a local book club know they're not going to change the world with their bit of activism.
But their goal is to make local people and elected officials aware of a problem that is gaining attention around the country: restaurant workers sickening others with food-borne illnesses because most restaurants don't give their employees paid sick time.
"Two-thirds of restaurant workers reported preparing and serving our food while being sick," Good said.
The Minnesota Department of Health has concluded that sick workers were the likely or suspected cause of nearly three-fourths of all norovirus outbreaks. Norovirus is the leading cause of food-borne illness.
The local group is not blaming the workers.
"Given the low wages restaurant workers earn, it's not surprising they go to work when they're sick," Knox said.
The women are part of the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship book club that recently read "Behind the Kitchen Door" by Saru Jayaraman. The book looks at a number of problems in the restaurant industry, including the fact 90 percent of restaurant workers do not have access to sick leave.
Members of the group decided to do their part to bring the issue to light locally. "I think the public would be interested in this if they realize how often people are coming to work sick because they can't afford to lose a day's wages," said Knox, a retired English teacher.
Good, a retired Minnesota State professor, said the group decided to focus on a different restaurant chain each week for several weeks. When going out to eat, they simply talk to wait staff and ask them if they get sick leave — almost none do — and they will ask to talk to the manager to tell them of their concern. They also leave cards that say they disagree with restaurants not giving sick leave.

I've had a life long interest in ham radio, and have been licensed for 50 years. I was first licensed as KN1FUG in 1963 at 15 years old. My early elmers, the people who had the most influence on me during my early days in amateur radio were a neighbor Raymond Nystrom W1IL ex 1IL (sk), Jean Peacor K1IJV (sk), she was the YL editor of QST for many years and Sister Loretto Thomas (sk), K1ZOH trustee of the Cathedral High School Amateur Radio Club, K1UHA in Springfield, Massachusetts.
My interests in ham radio are varied, from HF to VHF/UHF operations, voice and digital. My CW skills have languished over the years but I have been steadily increasing my speed by just using it especially in SKCC contests (member # 10312). For equipment I have a FT-8800 for 2 & 440, in my daily ride, and in the shack I have a ICOM IC-775, a IC-746 PRO used mainly for digital comms and a FT-857D for portable work. I also have a Yaesu VX-6R which I use for working the FM satellites. My antennas include a Radio Works Windom for 80-6 meters and a Cushcraft A3S beam.
I enjoy being a casual contester and DXer and have the usual certificates on the wall. When a rare one comes on the air I've been known to actively work them. I have been active in ARES, MARS and other EmComm activities since first being licensed, I am now employed as the Emergency Preparedness Assistant at ARRL Headquarters.
If you find yourself in Newington, please stop and say hello.

The 2012 race in New York's First Congressional District is poised to be a repeat of 2010, with Republican Randy Altschuler challenging incumbent Democrat Tim Bishop, but there will be one big difference that could prove to be the deciding factor.
This year, the Independence Party has after backing Bishop in 2010, when Bishop, of Southampton, fended off Altschuler, of St. James, by just 593 votes.
Frank MacKay, the county and state chairman of the Independence Party, said Wednesday that Altschuler was chosen for his business background. Altschuler is the co-founder of CloudBlue, which provides recycling services for electronic equipment, and he was the CEO and co-founder of OfficeTiger, an outsourcing firm.
"People coming in from the business world into public office is a rare thing," MacKay said. "People don't like to get involved in politics and government."
He added, "It's not a slight at Tim Bishop, but he certainly doesn't have the business credentials that Randy has." Bishop was the provost of Southampton College prior to being elected to Congress in 2002.
MacKay said he has nothing against Bishop, who he called a friend. "This is a pro-Altschuler endorsement," he said. "It's certainly not anti-Bishop."
Though the match-up is seemingly identical to two years ago, MacKay said that is not the case: "Randy did not have the Republican nomination last time around."
This time, Altschuler , whereas in 2010 he was in a three-way primary race with Chris Cox and George Demos and the party had not given its blessing to a certain candidate. While Cox has not returned to the fray in 2012, Demos has, and Altschuler must defeat him in a July 26 primary to formally clinch the nomination.
MacKay said when his party was picking a candidate in 2010, it was only he and party members from Southampton that backed Bishop, while all other towns in the congressional district backed Altschuler. "We certainly have a lot of respect for the people in Southampton, but it's not a large part of the congressional district," he said.
He swayed the committee to endorse Bishop in 2010 because it was not guaranteed that Altschuler would get the GOP nod, he said. "The Republicans simply let it go to a free-for-all."
When Altschuler and Bishop screened with the Independence Party for this election cycle, the party was confident Altschuler would have the Republican nomination, according to MacKay.
"He has the support of all the local tea parties as well," said Diana Weir, Altschuler's campaign manager. "We think there's a very unified front."
Altschuler also has the Conservative Party line, and Weir said the Independence endorsement switch will be a major factor, especially considering there were 7,370 votes cast on the "I" line in 2010, a midterm election.
Weir said that while the endorsement bodes well for an Altschuler victory, Suffolk County voters are discriminating and split their ballots regularly. "It's not like they're lock step," she said. What will be very telling in the presidential race and down the ballot line will be pocketbook issues, she said, such as gas prices, the housing market and unemployment.
In an interview with Patch last Friday, Bishop acknowledged he would prefer to have the Independence endorsement. "It's always better to have more lines than fewer lines, don't get me wrong," he said.
Bishop is counting on those who supported him in the past to find his name on the Democratic and Working Families lines. He said, "I'm pretty sure people vote for me, they don't vote for what line I have."
He pointed out that he knocked off an incumbent in 2002 without the Independence Party line, and he said in 2004, 2006 and 2008, his margin of victory dwarfed the number of votes he received on the "I" line.
Bishop said 2010 was a unique election cycle. "It was an extremely difficult cycle for incumbent Democrats in an off-year, a non-presidential year."
"In 2008, there were 42,000 more registered Democrats who came out to vote in New York-1 than was the case in 2010," he said. "So if we get the Democrats back out to vote, there's going to be plenty of Democrats there who are going to be voting for me."

Two Winslow Men Rescued & Two Men Still Missing After Boat Capsizes At The Patoka Reservoir
Indiana Conservation Officers were called to to the Patoka Reservoir at around 10:15 p.m. Saturday night, after a fisherman heard cries coming from the Hoosier Hills Marina.
According to Conservation Officers, a boater went to the location of the cries and rescued two Winslow men, 24 year-old Laban King and 27 year-old Jacob King. While the two were being transported to an area hospital, emergency crews learned that their boat had capsized and that there were two other people still missing.
Both Laban and Jacob were transported to an area hospital and treated for symptoms of hypothermia.
Indiana Conservation Officers strongly recommend the use of life jackets while on or near the water. A wearable life jacket is required by law for every person in a boat on public waters.
