Airport reveals new plan to revive air service
Listen to the story
The past 8 years have been tough on the Reno-Tahoe International Airport, but the airport is doubling down with a new plan in hopes of boosting air service.
Since 2005, the number of daily departing seats has dropped by nearly 37 percent. That downward trend holds true for number of destinations and carriers. To CEO Marily Mora, this is a rallying cry:
"These numbers are our past, and we know that as long as our local economy thrives, we will be be able to grow and attract new air service."
Cue the airport's new, multi-pronged strategy that will hopefully revive the region's air service. It includes boosting the airport's cargo capacity, as well as adding more carriers and routes.
"We want promotion of our air service. When we get a new flight, we want the community to support it, so we keep that air service here with our existing carriers, but we also want help with potential new airlines we may want to bring into this community. We may have to share part of that initial risk."
That shared risk could, for example, come in the form of extra funds set aside by businesses and even the state. Mora points out that Wyoming, like many of Nevada competitors, subsidizes their airports to the tune of 1.5 million dollars.

East Lancashire Royal Marine training to beat Atlantic rowing world record
6:00pm Monday 17th February 2014 in News
A FORMER St Mary's College student who is now a soldier is preparing for a gruelling trans-Atlantic challenge.
Royal Marine Commando, Matthew Mason, 24 is taking on the Atlantic Ocean this month, rowing 2,598 miles from Gran Canaria to Barbados.
He is also attempting to break the World Atlantic Ocean Rowing Speed Record of 32 days by completing it in fewer than 30 days.
Matthew is hoping to raise £20,000 for the Royal Marines Charitable Trust Fund.
The fund supports injured and wounded Royal Marines and their families, especially those making the hard transition from military to civilian life.
It also provides support to Royal Marines who face, or have faced, successive tours in high threat environments, providing adventure training, funding for homecoming events and financing memorials.
As well as all this, the charity provides support and a grant to the families and loved ones of Royal Marines that have died or been killed in service.
In order to reach his target, Matt has been taking part in various fundraising activities prior to the trip including boot camps, which members of the St Mary's College Old Boys Football Club and Accrington Panthers Rugby League Squad took part in and a full day row at ASDA in Accrington.

Wind Energy in Iowa
By Ben Kieffer & Ben Stanton
Mid-American Energy is planning to invest $1.9 billion in Iowa to add up to about one gigawatt of wind generation, which could power 300-thousand homes. That means more than 600 new wind turbines are expected to be built in Iowa by 2016. Host Ben Kieffer gets details on the project, and he gets a broader look at wind energy in Iowa with both large- and small-scale turbines. We also talk with an ISU professor a grad student working on designing a different wind turbine tower—one made out of concrete.

I found the last story quite cute. I think that there is quite a lot of underlying emotions in it which has a good ending
I liked all the stories they where cute but the last one was kinda confusing
loved the Third story the most! He was so cute when he reacted to the scary story and when he thought His lover caressed him-flies away-!! The last story mad me cry for Him!! That was so sweet"The flower of understanding" Damn THAT WAS AWWWWWWWWWWEKKKKK! Can see they love and understand each other
I read the last story while listening Gintama OST The More Precious the Burden Heavier and More Difficult... The combination was so beautiful...
love it....the arts are so great... anyway, anyone knows the manga where the seme teases the uke how he walk like a duct when they finish making love... thanks
http://www.mangago.com/read-manga/tsuyogari/ chapter 4 if I'm not wrong
thanks **
i'm gonna reread it...lol,
so cute i loved it!
sweet and cute
they were sweet. a little too sweet for me. the last one was a little better but it could have been a little better if drawn out.
I loved the first and second story it was more like a love story with perks within the broadcasting field. I liked the story about the exchange student it was cute. The last one was kind of sad especially for the French Japanese fella. I felt bad for Kairi being the only light haired guy around. I was glad that he had Kaneade by his side. The art work was great but the sex scenes were boring and didn't excite me. I hope the other stories are better!!! Just my thoughts!!! thx D
so cute
very beautiful stories...i totally love them all..
6 times +morning sex? Now I want a boyfriend like that.
and different places too ;)
not just you ;) hehe they where pretty cute together
I would also like that kind of boyfriend<3
Me too :3 I would love a boyfriend like that
I like the first and last story the most
the last story was kinda weird i mean to me it looks backwards kanade gives off the air of a seme and kirii gives off the air of an uke
But thx to that story is more interesting. :)
decent reads, not great but not bad. the last one was was really good, had a grittiness and a bitter sweetness, to bad it was a oneshot, could've really been developed into something great.
Totaly agree.
I think as long story we'd fed up with this after 3-4 chapers. It's good as oneshot
love it
i love all the stories
loved the first two parteers about workers in the boardcasting studio. the first story was so sweet that masahiro got to not only meet utika but the both fell in love with each other. although utika is a ravonous wolf in sheep clothing , somehow masahiro manages to bear with his insasionable habit for having sex anywhere and every where.....mainly in the office. still whats the harm in spicing things up a bit hehehe. to the next couple with the sport presentor and the star pitcher of the berr's baseball team. just like the first couple the pitcher is a huge pervert and around he subject of affection , he's not one to miss an opertunaty to show his wolf side. both couple make a great match including lots of passionate sex. the last story about the painter that lost his perants and was heavierly picked on as a child , found solice in only one man kanade. kanade was the only one who understood him the point of allowing him to do what ever he needed to feel secure , trusted and loved. he even allowed him self to be branded with scars that he believed was the painters ture feelings of love being imprinted on the man that he held so presious to his own heart. it was a beautiful yet sad story. thank for a wonderful read. xxx
I wish I could find some one like
Kanade who could understand me especially when I don't understand myself.
Don't all girls or boys wish for that? I know I do, I don't understand what i'm thinkin half the time.
i love it.

Davis Named Teacher Of The Year
- Last Updated on 01:29 AM 05/21/10
- BY Staff
South Boston Elementary's Patricia "Patty" Davis was awarded the top honor during the Halifax County Public Schools 'Teacher of the Year' banquet Tuesday at The Prizery.
Before announcing the winner, Deputy Superintendent Larry Clark explained the nominating process.
He said a nomination packet is sent to the schools and then each completed nomination is reviewed by the committee. The committee focuses on several key criteria, including concern for the individual students, willingness to participate in activities and ability to work with parents.
In Davis' nomination packet, South Boston Principal Pamela Eakes described Davis as, "Caring about the welfare and success of each child she meets. Ms. Davis volunteered to stay after school to help prepare students for upcoming SOL tests.
"She actually called the parents of students she believed would benefit from the extra sessions and asked permission to help those students after school," Eakes continued. "Ms. Davis cares about each and every student she teaches. She has the unique ability to single out the best learning styles for her students and inspires learning in them all."
After receiving the award, Davis was visibly surprised and shared the credit with her fellow educators.
"It's amazing to be part of this group of educators," Davis said, explaining that she has taken "bit and pieces" from fellow educators over the years to develop her own teaching style.
"I want to say how much I appreciate it," she added about receiving the award and offered some praise for her co-workers at South Boston Elementary.
"There's not a person at South Boston that doesn't work hard everyday," Davis said, noting that's its nice to see that the efforts there are being noticed by the school system's administration and the community.
"I hope to represent South Boston Elementary well," she concluded.
As part of the award Davis received an engraved plaque, a monetary incentive, and had her name placed on a permanent plaque with past winners located in the school board office. South Boston Elementary, as Davis' home school, received a $1,000 check.
Davis is now eligible to compete in the District 8 and state teacher of the year competitions.
Also during the banquet a 'teacher of the year' was recognized from each of the county's schools.
Joyce A. Winfield-Reeves won from Clay Mill, Anne G. Meeks from Cluster Springs, James "Jimmy" Popek from the high school, Kassie B. Myers from the middle school, Susan P. Townsend from Meadville, Brenda C. Conner from Scottsburg, Eleanor B. Knowlson from Sinai, Davis from South Boston, Ruth K. Smith-Leigh from the South Boston/Halifax/Cluster Springs Early Learning Centers and Naomi Benson from Sydnor Jennings.
After the awards were presented, Superintendent Paul Stapleton told the teachers, "You're the best of the best.
To Davis Stapleton said, "I'm really proud of everything you've done as an individual Patty."
He then told the teachers that they're a special breed of person and that they "teach today, and touch tomorrow. I thank you, the school board thanks you, the parents thank you and the students thank you."
Although Stapleton noted, it may take the students several years to realize it.

Grimm Episode 205
"The Good Shepherd"
Written By: Dan E. Fesman
Directed By: Steven DePaul
Original Airdate: 28 September 2012
In This Episode...
Reverend Calvin shows up at the police station to file a complain. He says that over $300,000 has been stolen out of his church's bank account. The bank claims they weren't hacked - whoever moved the money to a numbered account in Curacao from an authorized computer: the church's accountant, Norman. Norman has gone missing, and Calvin is only too happy to supply all the details. It is not long before Norman is discovered in the wood chipper at his day job at a mulch supply company. He would have been gone for good had he not had his hip replaced a few years ago - the iron hip jammed the machine.
Despite coming to the police - or perhaps because of it - Calvin becomes the number one suspect. A few years ago the same thing happened at Calvin's Arkansas congregation: $400,000 disappeared, and so did the accountant. A visit to the church reveals that Calvin is a Blutbad and his followers are all Seelengut. Calvin swears he is a reformed Blutbad, so Nick sends Monroe in undercover, pretending to be a wayward soul who is looking for reform. Calvin offers him a modest room, and Monroe seems fairly convinced that Calvin is the real deal, until he sees Calvin kissing his assistant, Megan. A background check on Megan reveals that she was married to the first missing accountant, and Hank and Nick head to the church.
Megan, it turns out, knows that Calvin stole the money. He promised that they would use it to run away and start their lives together in the Caribbean. He plans on setting up Monroe to attack him, so that when Calvin kills him it is in "self defense" and he can pin Norman's murder on Monroe. Megan has no problem covering for him until one of the pregnant parishioners reveals that the baby is Calvin's. Hell hath no fury like a Seelengut scorned. The flock turns on Calvin, ripping him to shreds - then they turn on Monroe, seeing him as an accomplice. Hank and Nick show up and intervene.
Back at the station house, the official story is that Calvin attacked one of the parishioners, so the others (25 in all) beat Calvin to death. Megan is in the wind - she and pregnant Harmony are enjoying $300,000 on a tropical island.
Dig It or Bury It?
I've got to say, I have no feelings one way or the other about this episode. It wasn't bad; there was just nothing special about it.
Big Bad...
...Seelengut. This meek flock of followers are sheep-like creatures who can be given to mob mentality.

July 29, 2014
WASHINGTON (AP) - Some of the details of President Barack
Obama's budget, including proposed program cuts, emerge today as he
sends them to Congress.
The president's new budget document lists $17 billion in cuts
across 121 different programs. Pentagon spending takes about half
the hit, while domestic programs take the rest.
And officials say most of the programs on the block simply no
longer work. They include an older navigation system made obsolete
by GPS to the Even Start program for pre-schoolers better served by
Early Head Start.
But Congress may not like many of the cuts, and the total's
still a tiny fraction of a budget deficit that could top $1.5
And House GOP leader John Boehner says while Republicans
appreciate the effort, they "respectfully suggest" the
administration needs to do far more.

Now that Halloween is over, if you are staring at piles of candy thinking "I can not let my kids eat all this," there's a solution for you.
Local dentists are buying back candy from kids and sending it to troops overseas for Operation Gratitude.
Participating dentists send 60,000 holiday care packages overseas, according to their website. Last year, they received and shipped 125 tons of candy.
Kids can bring their leftover candy to a participating dentist and they will either buy it back for $1 a pound or give out "goody bags" with dental hygiene products, coupons from local businesses, and/or entries into a drawing for a special prize.
The closest dentist to the Pasadena area participating in the program are:
- Arundel Pediatric Dental Care located at 8531 Veterans Highway, Suite 103 in Millersville
- Kool Smiles, 5700 Richie Hwy., Brooklyn Park; phone 866-438-5665
- Rodney Floyd DDS, 1017 Generals Hwy., Crownsville
For a complete list of participating dentists click here.
Do you know of other programs to collect Halloween candy? Tell us in the comments.

On Friday morning at , students assembled on Haskell Field for the opening of the annual Relay For Life, a fundraiser that is becoming an annual tradition at the St. Petersburg campus.
Formed mostly by Shorecrest seniors, the 2012 Relay For Life committee completed the task with grace and professionalism.
American Cancer Society representative Nina Ionata was impressed by the group of teens. She said that during the planning stages, she would sometimes forget that she was dealing with "kids."
Ionata also noted that there are only a few other Relay For Life events around the country that are student led.
With an introductory lap that was completed by a 5-year-old student who is a leukemia survivor, the event was off to a vibrant start. Later in the day, students set up tents for the all-nighter as well as handmade decorations and memorials.
On Friday evening, the official public kickoff for Shorecrest's Relay For Life put the event into motion.
"The next 12 hours will symoblize a day in the life of cancer, a disease that never sleeps," said Steven Tellios, a Shorecrest senior who is committee chair.
For Tellios, the Relay For Life at Shorecrest possesses a special meaning. His mother, Stephanie Tellios, is a nine-year survivor of leukemia. Steven was in third grade when his mom was diagnosed.
"I'm very fortunate," said Stephanie Tellios. "It's really cool to watch my kids go to that next level and just do something more for the community."
Stephanie Tellios' 15-year-old daughter, Demi, served as the luminaria ceremony chair for the event.
Steven Tellios has had a direct hand in the event since its inception seven years ago. Along with a core group of senior friends, two of whom have lost parents to cancer, Tellios has participated every year.
By Friday morning's ceremony, the goal was exceeded. The total not only helps the charity but also was tangible proof of the leadership and discipline of the student organizers.
The event and accomplishments held a very special meaning for survivors and their family members.
"I've been involved with the relay for seven years," explained Steven. "This year, I've learned things about the time that my mom was going through cancer and that's what's motivated me to do this."

Financing Options Discussed for New Northern Kentucky Bridge
Transportation officials in Kentucky and Ohio are working on a financing plan for a new bridge linking Covington and Cincinnati.
They say the bridge, with an estimated cost of $2.5 billion, is needed to ease congestion on the 50 year old Brent Spence Bridge, which carries Interstate-75 and 71 traffic over the Ohio River.
Kentucky Transportation Cabinet Spokesman Chuck Wolfe says that bridge remains sound and would still carry northbound I-71 traffic.
"Right beside it would be built this new bridge to carry all of I-75 plus southbound traffic of I-71, it's like the Brent Spence, it (would be a) two deck bridge," he said.
A financing plan must be submitted to Kentucky lawmakers before year's end. Wolfe says tolls would likely fund much of the construction.
Work could begin in 2015.

The investor has not been accused of any wrongdoing. Icahn has denied giving out any inside information and said he never met or spoke to Mickelson.
The fund is expected to be launched in the fall but there are no further details yet. News of the plan was first reported by the Wall Street Journal.
Icahn, 78, has "never given out inside information," he said. "We are always very careful to observe all legal requirements in all of our activities."
The federal probe centers on trades in Clorox Co by Walters and Mickelson as Icahn was making moves to access the company's board in 2011.

The Medal of Honor is the highest military decoration awarded by the United States. It is awarded "for conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of life, above and beyond the call of duty, in actual combat against an armed enemy force."
This collection has been expanded since I last wrote about it. The collection now includes the recipients of the US Medal of Honor from the following campaigns:
The China (The Boxer Rebellion) 1900, Mexican (Vera Cruz) 1914, Haiti 1915 Campaign, Dominican Campaign 1916, World War I 1917-1918, Haiti 1919 – 1920, Nicaraguan Campaign 1927 – 1933, World War II 1941 – 1945, North Korea 1950 – 1953, Vietnam 1964 – 1973, Somalia 1993 and The War On Terror (2002 – Present).
The collection shows the placemarks of the birthplaces of each winner and the descriptions show date of birth, rank, organization, location of deed, and the citation. Photos are also available. The collection was developed by 'Up_The_Spurs' from the Google Earth Community who also did the recipients of the Victoria Cross.
The collection doesn't show fancy photos, or 3D models, but each and every placemark contains a hero.

In the words of the immortal pioneer of soul music, Sam Cooke, "it's been a long, a long time coming, but I know a change gonna come." After nearly a century of on- and off-again attempts, the United States has comprehensive health-care reform.
The Affordable Care Act does not contain all the provisions that some of us hoped for. Still, it offers enormous possibility to improve both individual and public health. As the United States welcomes more than 25,000 delegates from across the world to the International AIDS Conference, we have something new and important to tell our colleagues. The U.S. Supreme Court's decision mostly upholding the ACA bears the promise of bringing the United States closer to the many countries around the world that guarantee their residents access to health care.

Palatine's Sikh Religious Society held onto candles and onto hope Monday night, in the aftermath of the deadly shootings at a Sikh temple in suburban Milwaukee.
"The grief is, this is too much to grieve because those injured they bled to death," Sukhdev Kaur Ghumen, President of the Sikh Religious Society in Palatine said.
A vigil mourning those who loss their lives in the senseless attack was filled with prayers for the victims and those touched by the tragedy.
Police in Wisconsin called Sunday's shootings at a Sikh temple domestic terrorism.
Six people were killed and three others were wounded when a man opened fire. The gunman was killed during a shootout with police.
"We're praying for strength of the holy community as the Sikh American community and as American community as a whole," Ghumen said.
Heavy hearts filled the crowd inside the Palatine place of worship - at one point this was the only Gurdwara in the Mid-west.
Sikh communities, politicians and complete strangers united as new details about the accused shooter, 40-year-old Wade Page, emerged.
Disturbing details about Page's profile describe a suspected white supremacist that was discharged from the army.
The ATF told FOX Chicago News it's investigating the meaning behind a mosaic of tattoos found on Wade's body.
"That aspect of the investigation is still ongoing also. We've received that information, we're trying to verify it," Thomas Ahern, a special agent with the ATF said.
"Seems like he was not understanding of other humans," Ghumen said. "He made that horrific decision to kill others - what was going on in his head? I have no idea about that but that was not the right thought whatever he had, that he had to kill people to convey his, whatever message he has."
The message in Palatine was one of love, hope and peace.
Devon Avenue is usually known for the Indian and Pakistani communities in Chicago. The Sikh community is part of this community.
They held regular prayers Monday at 2341 W. Devon in Chicago, home to the city's only Sikh Gurdwara. They did their five daily prayers and said special prayers for the victims and families in Milwaukee.
The Sikh policy is to welcome anyone who enters, without regard to caste, creed or religion. That might have made the Wisconsin congregation vulnerable, though it's not known what motivated that shooting. Local Sikh Americans said they believe the violence was random.
Ranjeet Singh, a Sikh American, compared it to the Colorado theatre shooting, saying at times like this in America, people can't take the pressure.
"It was shocking. Very tragic. Very unheard of," Singh said. "We are very peaceful community. We work for the good causes of the community and when I heard what happened yesterday it was pretty shocking."
While there are several Sikh houses of worship in the suburbs, there's only one in the city of Chicago. Ranjeet said despite the events in Wisconsin Sunday, people are still welcome to worship.
"Doors are always open at the Sikh temples," Ranjeet said. "Anybody without cast, creed or color are welcome here. It's a place of worship. Spiritual and meditation and worship."
There were vigils scheduled at Gurdwaras around the area Monday night. Some considered whether to put in security around the houses of worship.
Law enforcement in Palatine and Chicago confirmed they would step up patrols around Sikh temples.

Passage of an ordinance requiring installation of rapid-entry lock boxes will solve two problems, said Muskogee Fire Chief Derek Tatum.
It will eliminate the need of firefighters to keep track of scores of keys and give them immediate access to buildings without having to make forced entry.
City councilors approved the ordinance, which will require owners of new commercial and multifamily residential structures to install the lock boxes near building entrances or gates.
"We would be able to make rapid entry and assess a situation without causing any damage and leave with the building secure," Tatum said. "I think the costs will be outweighed by the potential savings ... and from a public safety standpoint."
Tatum initially proposed an ordinance that would have required the owners of all commercial and multifamily residential structures to install the Knox Box rapid entry system. The cost of the system, which is used by more than 11,000 fire departments, ranges from $250 to $650, plus the cost of installation and a $35 application fee.
City councilors balked at an earlier version that — with some exceptions — would have required all commercial buildings with alarm systems, automatic fire sprinkler systems or standpipe systems to install Knox Boxes.
Ward III Councilor Randy Howard stood firm in opposition to the ordinance, which he said should be voluntary. If the system is so beneficial, he said, business owners would install the systems without a legal mandate.
"I'm not going to vote for this because I think it needs to be elective," Howard said. "A lot businesses don't want it, but for new businesses that come in we're going to put a new fee on them — I don't think that is right."
The program would be voluntary for the owners of existing businesses or multifamily residential structures that fall within the guidelines of the ordinance. Tatum said the department will encourage lock boxes for those business owners who have provided the department with keys, all of which will be returned by the end of the year.
Ward IV Councilor Wayne Johnson said that from a public safety standpoint, the Knox Box rapid entry system has many benefits that far outweigh the initial costs of the box and installation. Johnson, the maintenance and facilities director for Muskogee Public Schools, said that since the issue came up in June, he has seen many Knox Boxes in other cities.
The Knox Box system is designed to afford firefighters quick entry into buildings without the damage associated with a forced entry. For larger industrial applications, the boxes contain information about any hazardous materials kept on site.
Tatum estimates the total cost to the city would be $8,324, which would pay for the secure key retention boxes.

Passing the Baton
July 15, 2006 2:46 PM
Thanks, James.
When I found out TVWeek wanted me to blog from the TCA press tour this summer, I wasn't exactly sure what to expect. We had a bit of a dry run with blog postings in May for our advertiser upfront presentation coverage, which went surprisingly well considering we didn't really plan a lot for it.But for TCA, we had time. And thanks to my colleague James Hibberd's terrific coverage of the cable portion of the tour, we now have expectations. Last week I'd pull up James' coverage of everything from a tearful Shannen Doherty to Hallmark's penguins to the "South Park" guys to a picture of James with Playboy bunnies and feel a cold sweat as I stared at my monitor. Bunnies and penguins? How do I top that? Well, here goes.
It's Saturday morning and the broadcast portion of the tour has kicked in at the Ritz Carlton. First some clarification: While several cable networks make presentations over the course of one day, most broadcast networks have two days to present, which mean individual network shows get as much time as entire cable nets do.
Thankfully, broadcasters and their assembled talent are just as brilliant, ridiculous, contentious and nervous as their cable counterparts, so here's hoping I'm in the right place at the right time to capture some of the fun stuff. But if you get bored, feel free to scroll back to the cable blog shots of the penguins and bunnies. I probably will.

Kevin Williamson
Kevin Williamson: Abortion After Texas
At some point I'm sure I've read a better post than Kevin Williamson's today on National Review about abortion. But, for the life of me, not a single one comes to mind.
I guess I'm somewhat obligated to highlight some passage or another, so here it goes:
There are many religious people in the pro-life camp, but it is not a religious question. It is a question about the legal status of an entity that is under any biological interpretation a 1) distinct, 2) living, 3) human 4) organism at the early stages of development. Consider those four characteristics in order: There is no scientific dispute about whether an embryo is genetically distinct from the body in which it resides, about whether the tissue in question is living or not living, about whether the tissue in question is human or non-human, or whether it is an organism as opposed to a part of another organism, like an appendix or a fingernail.
The pro-abortion response to this reality is to retreat into mysticism, in this case the mysterious condition of "personhood." The irony of this is that the self-professedly secularist pro-abortion movement places itself in roughly the same position as that of the medieval Christians who argued about such metaphysical questions as "ensoulment." If we use the biological standard, the embryo is exactly what pro-lifers say it is: a distinct human organism at the early stages of development. If we instead decide to pursue the mystical standard of "personhood," we may as well be debating about angels dancing on the head of a pin.
The main biological question at issue is the question of "viability." But viability is a standard in motion, thanks in no small part to the fact that in every aspect of medical practice save abortion we prefer scientific standards to mystical ones. And the viability standard is in the end an intellectual dodge as well: You will never discover if an organism is viable by setting out intentionally to kill it.
There is a great deal of vacuity in the debate. The usual pro-abortion platitudes are so far from being intellectually respectable that they are answered only out of a sense of duty, not because they deserve to be answered. "I'm personally against abortion, but . . . " would rightly be laughed out of existence if it were "I'm personally against murder/slavery/robbery, but . . . " Which is to say, it is a statement that is defensible only if one assumes beforehand that abortion is not a species of homicide. Similar examples of begging the question include "It's the woman's body," etc. We simply must answer the question — which is a biological question, not a mystical one — of how many bodies there are in question. I count at least two in the case of abortion. "People will still have abortions, only they'll be dangerous." People will still commit homicides, and crime would be less dangerous if we disarmed the police and forbade victims to defend themselves. The statement, like the others, makes sense only if we ignore the salient facts of the case.
Now go read the rest. Like right now. Go.
All right. A little more.
Encountering the architectural monuments and administrative sophistication of the Incans and Aztecs, the Europeans were confounded that such marvels could be done by cultures practicing human sacrifice. Huitzilopochtli may have faded away, but career, vanity, and sexual convenience are very much with us, and they, too, are jealous gods, who apparently insist on being served in the same way. The metaphysical explanations may be radically different, but the physical facts of the cases are not entirely dissimilar. If our descendents one day wonder that savages such as ourselves flew to the moon, it will speak well of them, even as they wonder that such brilliant engineers had so impoverished a conception of what it means to be human.
An Act of Heroism or A Petty Crime?
Last week Kevin Williamson did something I have often dreamed of doing, although to people talking or texting on cell phones while driving and not in a movie theater.
The show was Natasha, Pierre, and the Great Comet of 1812, which was quite good and which I recommend. The audience, on the other hand, was horrible — talking, using their phones, and making a general nuisance of themselves. It was bad enough that I seriously considered leaving during the intermission, something I've not done before. The main offenders were two parties of women of a certain age, the sad sort with too much makeup and too-high heels, and insufficient attention span for following a two-hour musical. But my date spoke with the theater management during the intermission, and they apologetically assured us that the situation would be remedied.
It was not. The lady seated to my immediate right (very close quarters on bench seating) was fairly insistent about using her phone. I asked her to turn it off. She answered: "So don't look." I asked her whether I had missed something during the very pointed announcements to please turn off your phones, perhaps a special exemption granted for her. She suggested that I should mind my own business.
So I minded my own business by utilizing my famously feline agility to deftly snatch the phone out of her hand and toss it across the room, where it would do no more damage. She slapped me and stormed away to seek managerial succor. Eventually, I was visited by a black-suited agent of order, who asked whether he might have a word.
The reaction has been fascinating. While a great many have applauded Williamson for his bit of cell phone vigilantism, others have been far less sympathetic and indeed think he should be brought up on charges. Personally, I called him a hero on facebook.
But is he really a hero? Technically this was destruction of personal property. While the woman was certainly rude, lack of social grace does not negate the right to property.
On one level, it's difficult to disregard that Williamson did act in an almost (or maybe not even almost) illegal fashion, and he himself was guilty of causing a disturbance. At the same time, the absolute lack of proper etiquette is becoming a growing concern in modern society. My wife and I rarely attend movies largely due to the fact that we have small children and babysitting is expensive. Yet were it not for the children we still would likely have cut back on our movie-going as it had become something of a tedium. I vividly recall attending the third installment of the Pirates of Caribbean franchise. The sheer awfulness of the film was compounded by the sheer awfulness of the crowd attending, largely populated by shrieking girls gawking at Orlando Bloom. Cell phone abuse was hardly the biggest issue with this crowd.
All the same, the reason that so many view Williamsom with admiration is that he confronted rudeness head-on. Instead of bellyaching later in a blogpost about the obnoxious woman sitting next to him, he actually did something about it. Though the action itself is of dubious ethical value, it was an action, and in world of words any actions taken to tackle social problems seem much more meritorious.
There are obvious concerns with Williamson's actions being replicated on a larger scale, so we should probably not completely encourage such behavior. That being said, I have a difficult time not applauding Williamson for doing what so many of us have yearned to do.
Who's Gonna Grab the Third Rail?
That's a line from a brief but astounding post by Kevin Williamson of NRO, which I'm reproducing in full here:
A little perspective from the debt commission:
"The commission leaders said that, at present, federal revenue is fully consumed by three programs: Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. 'The rest of the federal government, including fighting two wars, homeland security, education, art, culture, you name it, veterans — the whole rest of the discretionary budget is being financed by China and other countries,' [Alan] Simpson said."
Three programs — Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid — consume 100 percent of federal revenue, and everything else is paid for with borrowed money. This is why we cannot balance the budget by cutting military spending, foreign aid, food stamps, etc. There is not going to be a serious project to address our deficit/debt problem without deep, painful entitlement reform, and the longer we wait to admit that fact and get going on it, the worse it is going to be.
So, who's gonna grab that third rail? George W. Bush tried and got hammered — an example that few if any in Washington are eager to follow.
Indeed. I think if this is going to happen, it's going to have to come from the people (tea parties, perhaps?), because it seems suicidal for any politician to take it on without considerable popular support.

State Rep. Charles Jeter, the Mecklenburg Republican who pushed to make names of charter-school employees private, said Thursday that he has withdrawn support for his own amendment.
Instead, he said he hopes to see lawmakers, educators and journalists discuss the best way for the N.C. Public Records Law to be applied consistently to district schools and charters, which are run with public money by private boards. Any proposals to come out of that would be introduced in 2015, he said.
Its a bigger issue than I originally thought it was, said Jeter, whose children attend a Charlotte-area charter school.
An eight-person conference committee of senators and representatives has been named to reconcile differences in a bill that covers a range of charter-school issues, including disclosure of personnel information. Jeter said he has spoken with committee co-chair Rep. Craig Horn, R-Union, and urged the panel to drop his amendment that says charter-school employees names are not subject to public disclosure.
Earlier this week, Gov. Pat McCrory threatened to veto any version of the bill that attempt(s) to hide the names of charter school employees from the public record.
The Senate version states that charter schools are subject to the same disclosure requirements as other public schools, which includes names, positions and salaries.
Jeter said the amendment he introduced last week was well-intentioned but poorly executed. He said he intended to restrict lists such as the one the Observer published this spring, giving names, positions and salaries for employees of 22 charter schools. He said his goal was that journalists and other members of the public could get all details except the names.
However, the amendment apparently would block charter schools from releasing employee names under any circumstances including, potentially, posting on school websites or responding to reference checks.
It appears to prohibit the release of the name of an employee, presumably for any purpose. That seems to be a broader limitation than what might have been intended, said professor Frayda Bluestein, a public records expert at the UNC Chapel Hill School of Government who reviewed the amendment at the Observers request.
The Observer also asked Gerry Cohen, special counsel to the General Assembly, about the implications of the amendment. Cohen did not respond, but Jeter said Cohen came to him and voiced concerns.
Questions about charter school disclosure arose in March, when the Observer requested the same salary information from charter schools that it has long published for employees of school districts, universities and state and local governments. The confusion arose because the personnel privacy section of the public records law spells out whats protected and what must be disclosed for school district employees, but doesnt speak to charter schools, which didnt exist in North Carolina when the privacy section was added.
At that time, Jeter told the Observer charter schools should be required to make the same disclosure as other public schools: You cant pick and choose when its convenient.
Last week he told his colleagues that charter schools shouldnt be forced to reveal names because their employees are not state employees and because they arent bound by the states teacher salary schedules. Charter schools use merit-based pay, Jeter said, and revealing which teachers make more than others would create a hostile work environment.
During debate on his amendment, Jeter said he didnt think district schools should be required to release teachers names with salaries, either. He declined one colleagues suggestion to put the amendment aside to allow further study.
On Thursday, Jeter said he has been criticized for switching positions but doesnt believe that is true. He said he has consistently said charters and district schools should play by the same rules. However, he said he did act too hastily in introducing the amendment, which came just before the third of three required House votes on the charter bill.
Jeter said he now thinks the state should consider adding two more items to the 11 things that must be disclosed from public personnel files: Gender and relationship to other employees.
During debate on Jeters amendment, Reps. Carla Cunningham, D-Mecklenburg, and Verla Insko, D-Orange, said publishing names and salaries lets women see whether theyre being paid equally for equal work. Jeter said thats a valid concern, and one that isnt necessarily addressed by revealing names. Likewise, he said, names dont tell you whether there are nepotism issues.
Jeter, a first-term legislator, said he remains sympathetic to the argument that theres no benefit to naming teachers when their salaries are reported. But he now thinks that issue needs to be explored in a broader discussion that covers all types of public schools. As for whether hell be around to see the matter settled, he said, that depends on whether he survives a November election challenge by Democrat Robin Bradford.

50 percent of Patch readers are opposed to the idea based on recent poll results.Should the government require couples to take an education course before getting married? Over
A ballot measure in Colorado would require 10 hours of pre-wedding marriage education for first marriages, 20 hours for second marriages and 30 hours for third marriages. No classes would be required for civil unions. Not all Patch readers feel the requirement is a bad idea. Forty-five percent indicated support for the pre-marital coursework (Results as of Jan. 24).
Last week, we also surveyed readers on e-book readership, Facebook usage and smartphone-related sleep disruption. Click on the links above to vote in the polls and see how others voted. Note: Polls are not scientific. They are for entertainment purposes only.

The unemployment rate moved downward another notch in April, to 8.1 percent, the Labor Department reported Friday, but the drop was hardly the good news it seemed to be.
The unemployment figure, which reflects the percentage of people looking for work, fell largely because people gave up trying to find jobs. People who quit seeking work are no longer counted as unemployed.

I would dearly love to have a Hobbit shirt to wear to the theater come December! I'm sure I could dig one up somewhere on the internet, but I'd rather give my money to a TeeFury artist. There's so much potential there, PLEASE, someone be inspired!!
It's times like this I wish I could draw!

Islamic influence on the Design of the World Trade Center Spanish Moor (Islamic) Influence on the Alamo Lately, there has been a lot of misinformation and hatred toward Islam and Muslims being spewed out by major media outlets, which in turn has caused a lot of fear in the minds of many Americans about Muslims and thus many mosque projects across the country from New York to Tennessee to California are being criticized and sometimes even attacked by arsonists and … [Read more...]

The first-place South Pointe boys got 17 points from Anthony Johnson and 16 from former-Trojan Mustafia Love to hand Northwestern a 65-46 basketball loss Saturday at Northwestern. The win helped the Stallions earn a little breathing room from the Trojans in the Region 3-AAAA race. The 9-0 Stallions now lead Northwestern by three games and have swept the season series.
Love, who transferred to South Pointe last semester after playing both football and basketball for the Trojans, played with a little extra energy.
"The first time we played them at our place, (Love) was in foul trouble and didn't get a chance to play as much," South Pointe coach Melvin Watson said. "So it was the kind of game he marked down to be ready for and he came out and played big. He played with a lot of energy, made really good decisions, and got to the basket like we needed him to."
In the first half, Quadarious Fair had an out-of-body experience for Northwestern. The first quarter box score read South Pointe 10, Fair 10. Included in those 10 were two dunks, one of which worth of a highlight on ESPN's Sportscenter, as Fair finished his personal fast break with a thunderous two-hand slam over two Stallions, and got fouled in the process.
Fair completed the three-point play for a 5-0 lead. His second dunk tied the score after the Stallions had gone on an 8-0 run to take the lead 10-8. No one other than Fair scored for Northwestern until Clenzo Ross hit two free throws with 5:52 left in the second quarter. Fair scored seven more in the period to total 17 of the home team's 23 first half points, but South Pointe led 28-23 behind balanced scoring from five players.
The Stallions scored the first six points of the third period to force a Trojans timeout at the 5:32 mark with the score 34-23. Fair also came back down to earth with just three points after halftime, all on fourth-quarter free throws. Watson said South Pointe did not focus on trying to shut down Fair in the second half.
"We just wanted to stay with our game plan," Watson said. "They were making plays and getting some easy baskets early, and we got out of our press and went straight man-to-man and that was key."
Northwestern scored the final seven points of the third to cut a 12-point deficit to 38-33. But early in the final period the Trojans missed two front ends of one-and-ones with a chance to cut the lead as low as three and that was as close as they would get as the Stallions pulled away. South Pointe converted 11-of-14 free throws in the fourth quarter to put the game to bed. Tyreece Brice also had 16 points for the visitors.
Watson is now 2-0 against former South Carolina teammate and first-year Trojan coach Larry Davis but he said that was not the focus.
"When we would divide our teams up in practice (in college) we used to go against each other and we've always been competitive. It's still the same nature but you know after the game we're fine. He has a team that's probably going to make a deep run in the playoffs."
Watson's focus now is finishing strong and getting ready for the playoffs.
"My main focus is to get my younger guys more reps because we're going to need them. We can't be a five-man team and we're going to work on getting better balance with our younger guys and our seniors."

Northwestern 52, South Pointe 39: The Northwestern backcourt took control of the game in the third quarter and led the Trojans to a victory over the Stallions at Northwestern. The game was tied at 19 coming out of the halftime break but Aubriana Thompson and Ieshia Love scored the first 13 points of the second half to put the Trojans in control.
In all, that run coupled with the last two points of the second quarter by Love made it a 15-0 run.
Northwestern finished the first half on a 9-2 spurt after trailing 17-10 to tie the game at the half. When the Stallions finally hit two free throws with 4:34 remaining in the third period, that ended a 22-2 run that put the home team up 32-19.
Love, who finished with 11 points, started the third quarter with a quick bucket followed by a three-pointer from Thompson, who led all scorers with 19. Another two from Love forced South Pointe to call timeout trailing 26-19 just 1:27 into the half, but Thompson and Love each hit another three following the timeout for the 13-point lead.
Thompson had eight in the period and Love had seven.
"They are the energy," Northwestern coach John Bramlett said of his guards. "When they get going a little bit then everybody else picks up their pace. But they're seniors and that's exactly what they're supposed to do."
With the win, the Trojans have swept the season series with South Pointe with both teams sitting at 6-3 in Region 3-AAAA.
"It was a big win," Bramlett said. "We really played good defense tonight."
The Stallions were led by 13 points from T'Keia Williams.

Daniel Robert Snow (born 3 December 1978) is an English television presenter. He has presented and appeared in many popular history-related programmes for the BBC and is the "History Hunter" for The One Show.[1]
Early life and background[edit]
Dan Snow is the youngest son of Peter Snow, BBC television journalist, and Ann MacMillan, Managing Editor of CBC London Bureau. Dan therefore has dual British-Canadian citizenship. Through his mother, he is the nephew of Canadian historian Margaret MacMillan, and a great-great-grandson of British Prime Minister David Lloyd George.[2] One of his father's cousins is the Channel 4 news reporter Jon Snow. His paternal great-grandfather (Jon and Peter's grandfather) is World War I general Sir Thomas D'Oyly Snow.
Snow was educated in London at Westfield Primary School now Barnes primary and at St Paul's School where he was captain of the school and rowed for his school team. He went on to Balliol College, Oxford,[3] his father's alma mater, and graduated with first-class honours in Modern History.[2][4] A keen rower since his secondary school days, he won the U-23 men's division at the 2000 British Indoor Rowing Championships[5] and rowed three times in the Boat Race, winning in 2000 and losing the controversial 2001 race as president.[6][7]
Snow presented his first programme in October 2002 just after graduating from university, co-presenting the BBC's 60th anniversary special on the Battles of El Alamein with his father Peter.[8] Father and son then collaborated to present an 8-part documentary series called Battlefield Britain, which aired in 2004 and won a BAFTA Craft Award for special effects. The same year Snow won a Sony award as one of the presenters on the LBC Boat Race coverage.
He has made numerous history programmes for the BBC. He also presents on many of the state occasions such as the 200th anniversary celebration of the Battle of Trafalgar, Beating Retreat 2006, the 60th anniversary of the end of World War Two, the 90th anniversary of the Armistice in November 2008, Trooping the Colour and the City Salute. Snow again collaborated with his father to present BBC 2's 20th Century Battlefields and its print edition, which were both well received.[9] The series covers battles all around the world and is presented in similar fashion to the first Battlefield Britain which was broadcast in various markets in 2006 and is available on DVD. The second series can also be viewed on the Military Channel.
In June 2008, Dan Snow was in a three-part series which was called Britain's Lost World on BBC One. Along with Kate Humble and Steve Backshall, he stayed on the island of St Kilda, Scotland, to find out more about its history and wildlife. In the TV programme My Family at War he explored the role of his great-grandfather Thomas D'Oyly Snow, who commanded the VII Corps on the first day on the Somme in World War I.
In November 2011 Snow teamed up with the Irish Army to fire a British or Canadian made Browning Mark II (or a Mk. II* variant) .303" machinegun which he had excavated from a Spitfire which crashed in Donegal while being flown by Bud Wolfe. Despite being in a peat bog for 70 years the machine gun fired without a hitch after careful cleaning and with fresh ammunition.[10]
On 8 December 2012, Snow co-presented Rome's Lost Empire with Dr. Sarah Parcak, a space archaeologist from University of Alabama at Birmingham (U.A.B.).
In late 2012 Snow embarked on a promotional tour for his new book Battle Castles: 500 Years of Knights and Siege Warfare,[11] which was published in conjunction with a 6-part documentary he had presented for the History Channel. In early 2013, he presented a programme on the history of railways on BBC Two, called "Locomotion: Dan Snow's History of Railways".
In the summer of 2013 Snow was part of a team with eight others down the Colorado River through the Grand Canyon in period-correct boats recreating the epic trip by John Wesley Powell through uncharted territory and rapids in 1869. Other British team members accompanied by American experts were Mike Dilger and Sam Willis. The footage, narrated by Dougray Scott, became Operation Grand Canyon with Dan Snow which was broadcast on BBC Two in January 2014.
Personal life[edit]
On 27 November 2010, Snow married criminologist Lady Edwina Grosvenor, the second daughter of the 6th Duke of Westminster.[12] Their daughter Zia was born in 2011.
On Sunday 18 April 2010 Snow and a few friends took three rigid-hulled inflatable boats from Dover to Calais to help 25 people return to the UK after they were stranded in France by the air travel disruption after the 2010 Eyjafjallajökull eruption in Iceland. When they arrived at Calais they were told by the French authorities to "fous le camp" ("get lost").[13][not in citation given]
In August 2011, Snow accidentally sat on a rioter in London who was stealing from a shoe shop.[14][15]
An atheist and a humanist, Snow is a Distinguished Supporter of the British Humanist Association and an Honorary Associate of the National Secular Society.

Should learning to program a mobile app take precedence over diagramming iambic pentameter in Shakespeare's sonnets?
If there were such a thing as a rock star politician, the man known affectionately around the globe as "Madiba" is one. Today's youngest generation did not witness his historic struggle, release or election. Yet they know his extraordinary messages of equality, hope and forgiveness. And they are ready to receive his torch.
What if your favourite TV show prompted you to take social action? What if, while binge-watching a full season of Friday Night Lights, a link appeared to a pledge against the use of performance enhancing drugs? Pivot TV, a cable network launched last month, is targeting millennials (ages 18 to 34) by incorporating these calls to action in its programming.
Inspired and compelled by celebrity luminaries including The Barenaked Ladies and Serena Ryder, as well as some particular youth favourites such as Demi Lovato and the Jonas Brothers, the feeling at We Day 2013 in the Air Canada Centre was electric.
It was the speech heard around the world. Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I have a dream" are some of the most recognizable words in history, and 50 years later, the March on Washington Square is an enduring example of the struggle for basic freedoms through peaceful assembly. Now, it's time for reflection.
The story of how Jesse Giddings got his break in the entertainment industry reads like the opening act of a Hollywood film: star-hopeful moves from the suburbs to the big city with nothing but a duffel bag and a dream. We caught up with Giddings to find out what motivates him, and what he would say to his high-school self.
Lights became a seasoned world traveller long before concert touring had her crisscrossing North America with hits like "Toes" and "My Boots." She told us what advice she would give her high-school self, and why she believes that education can break the cycle of poverty.
Summer vacation is well underway, and off-duty students across the country are looking for "something to do." Well, why not become Prime Minister of Canada? At the very least, practice your campaign speech, like We Day favourite -- and future prime minister -- Sydney Brouillard-Coyle.
Martin Sheen has become one of our most regular speakers at We Day events -- not for his acting résumé but for his cred as an inspiring social activist who has protested everything from the Vietnam War to nuclear weapons to the war in Iraq. We talked to him about some of the valuable lessons he has to share.
Don't call Victoria Duffield a triple threat; she's closer to quintuple or septuple in her numbered talents. The recording artist from Abbotsford, B.C., recently joined forces with Aussie teen heartthrob Cody Simpson for the single "They Don't Know About Us". Duffield co-writes most of her tracks, some in collaboration with songwriters from Justin Bieber's camp.
