Astoria Turns 200
Hard on the heels of Lewis and Clark came John Jacob Astor with his fur trading company, establishing the first American settlement west of the Rocky Mountains at the mouth of the Columbia River in 1811. My, how the last 200 years have flown! Don a coonskin cap and slip back into frontier times all summer long at Astoria's bicentennial celebration.
The action kicks into full gear on opening weekend, May 19-22, with a reenactment of settlers getting a first glimpse of local tribes in ceremonial canoes. Tall ships Lady Washington and Hawaiian Chieftain will offer special battle tours to show off their guns along with more family-friendly trips. Ashore, a special founding-of-Astoria exhibit begins a six-month run at the Heritage Museum. There will also be shows from local tribal dancers and drummers at the historic Liberty Theater, Taiko drummers and Dragon dancer street performances, and two displays of rare Northwest and Columbia River art. If you are around on Saturday morning, May 21, grab a piece of celebratory cake with Astoria Mayor Willis Van Dusen, whose family history in Astoria stretches back through the last two centuries.

Whatever happened to Fort Clatsop after those damned vandals burned it down? Did we rebuild it?
We were there 5 or 6 years ago and I was very impressed with the Fort and greatly admired the whole region. My wife loved Astoria.
Kathy Freeborn West Grove PA says…
we will be arriving for a vacation on May 19th!!!! How exciting! Look forward to visiting your lovely Astoria

Alex Russo at This Week in Education is calling Teach For America's 20th summit celebration ?premature,? ?unwarranted,? and an ?expensive-seeming birthday part/slick celebration,? among other things. As a TFA alumna one who attended this ?revival? with a ?sense of accomplishment? that Russo calls ?immodest and premature ? reminding [him] of the kid who expects praise for doing his homework for a few days in a row or the football player who starts celebrating before he's reached the end zone? ?I'm inclined to feel defensive.
I'll admit some of his post is funny; I can be as self-deprecating as the next person and point out the quirks and oddities and intensity and weird inflection of TFAers -- the oversized teaching bags, hipness of how they dress, etc. (as one tweeter said, many female teachers can be identified by their ?flats? and ?mustard-colored sweaters?).?
But here's the thing about TFA teachers or alums. Being compared to kids who expect praise for doing homework isn't that insulting. Anyone who's been a teacher in a poor urban or rural classroom will be the very first to admit that celebrating the small successes, the day-to-day victories ? including cheering on a student for homework completion -- is what keeps you going. It's part of the formula for success. I don't care how arrogant or na?ve or stupid Russo thinks the TFA community looked/acted/came across this weekend. Perhaps to some, celebration ? especially when achievement gaps persist -- seems like a waste.? But it isn't. Anyone who's jumped for joy when a student spells a word right, or doesn't get into a fist fight, or has been nearly moved to tears when a parent expressed high expectations for their kids for the very first time ? knows that small victories are important. ?(And I wouldn't call TFA's track record and the reform movement largely driven by alums all that small, either.)
Why shouldn't alums, 28,000 of them in total, and 11,000 who gathered in DC this weekend, feel a sense of accomplishment? What is premature about celebrating the fact that hundreds of thousands of our nation's poorest students have or had effective teachers for two or more years? Teachers who may have changed their life trajectory? What is immodest about declaring that your efforts in the face of tough odds resulted in tangible gains for kids who need them the most?
If one thing is for certain, every panelist and speaker this weekend ? including Wendy Kopp ? said that teaching in low-income communities and closing achievement gaps is one of the toughest jobs on the planet. Don't mistake the TFA community's zeal and energy for naivety or delusion. It's born out of a deep commitment to kids and to educational equity that we'd do well to foster, not denigrate.

|Executive Director Carol Bellamy addresses lawmakers at the annual Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU) Assembly in the Philippines
El contenido de esta página estará disponible en español próximamente
MANILA, 4 April 2005 – This week UNICEF is challenging hundreds of lawmakers from around the world to use their power to alleviate the suffering of millions of children who are subjected to violence and exploitation.
UNICEF Executive Director Carol Bellamy is attending the annual Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU) Assembly in the Philippines, where she is calling on parliamentarians to use their unique budgetary and legislative powers to protect children from exploitation, and to "ask tough questions and demand answers" when governments are making decisions that they know will harm children.
On the first day of the conference, Ms. Bellamy launched a joint UNICEF/IPU handbook created to help parliamentarians combat one of the world's worst forms of child exploitation: the multi-billion dollar industry in child trafficking.
Every year, lured by promises of a better life, millions of children are forced to work in hazardous conditions, sold into domestic labour, marriage or prostitution, forcibly recruited as child soldiers, and offered up for illegal adoptions.
The handbook outlines how parliamentarians can help prevent child trafficking, assist child victims of trafficking and hold traffickers and people who assist them accountable for their crimes.
On Sunday Bellamy visited a shelter for trafficked children that is part of a UNICEF-supported project to combat child trafficking in the Philippines. She also visited the busiest seaport in the Philippines and met with ship officers, port police, non-governmental organizations and others involved in a unique multi-sectoral partnership that has prevented thousands of children from being trafficked.
At a panel discussion on Wednesday organized by UNICEF, parliamentarians will be urged to protect women and children from violence during situations of armed conflict. Girls and women are routinely targeted in campaigns of gender-based violence, including rape, prostitution, forced pregnancy and sexual slavery. Children are often recruited as child soldiers, detained and tortured and trafficked out of the country. Most acts of violence are committed against women and children with total impunity.
|© UNICEF video/2005
|UNICEF Chief Executive Carol Bellamy visits the port of Manila where the authorities have joined force to stop trafficking.
UNICEF works around the globe to build a protective environment for children – a safety net of interconnected elements designed to safeguard children from all forms of violence, exploitation and abuse. This can be translated into a world in which:
The IPU was established in 1889 and brings together Members of Parliament from over 140 states. It contributes to the defence and promotion of human rights and has a long-standing commitment to the protection of children.

MADISON, WI (WKOW) -- The Badgers Men's Soccer team is quietly putting together a good season, as they prepare to host Indiana, the defending NCAA champions.
The Badgers are 7-2-1 and unbeaten at home.
The team lost standout midfielder Tomislav Zadro earlier in the season due to injury.
Coach John Trask applauds the team for stepping up in his absence. "All of them have just relished the opportunity without Tomislav to say, we're not just a one-man show," said Trask. "A lot of guys have stepped up to the table, and it's exciting for us as coaches to see the development of the whole group."
Senior Nick Janus is one of those who has stepped up big for the Badgers, scoring six goals in seven matches.
"What we stressed earlier this year was how much depth we have," said Janus. "And that proves it, that even with a guy like Tomislav out, who makes every team better, that we still manage to get really good results."
Zadro is scheduled to return Friday when UW hosts conference foe Indiana. The Badgers are 0-1 in Big Ten play.

San Diego Travel Guide
Whether you want to windsurf, catch some rays on the beach, or visit the world-renowned zoo, experience the vacation of your dreams in sunny San Diego. Places to visit and unforgettable adventures await you in this vibrant city. More than 70 miles of beautiful coastline beckon to all those who love the seaside. Couples, families with kids, and large groups will enjoy the gorgeous weather that attracts vacationers year round. We hope that you enjoy reading the San Diego travel information in this guide. If you see something we've overlooked, please let us know by sending your suggestions.
What to Do in San Diego
In this part of California, there's no shortage of tourist attractions. San Diego offers visitors so many options for a fun-filled vacation. Visit Sea World, the San Diego Zoo, the Wild Animal Park, LEGOLAND California, or one of many beaches.
Sea World
From killer whales to otters to penguins, Sea World is a must-see for visitors to the San Diego area. Take the kids to a show featuring performing animals. The massive aquariums put you face-to-face with fish, sharks, and other creatures. Sea World's interactive exhibits let you feed dolphins. When you're ready for a change of pace, there's the Sesame Street Bay of Play where the kids can enjoy rides. There's also the Coco Loco Arcade for older kids.
Be sure to check for any seasonal events that might be happening at the park. At certain times of the year, the park offers shows into the evening hours and closes with a spectacular fireworks display. Also, there are opportunities throughout the year to dine near the dolphin habitat or with Shamu, the killer whale. You'll enjoy a delicious buffet meal while watching these amazing creatures at play.
The San Diego Zoo
Like Sea World, the San Diego Zoo puts you close to some of your favorite animals. This sprawling 100-acre attraction features animal species from all over the world. There are polar bears, big cats, elephants, hippos, camels, and crocodiles, just to name a few! The giant bears of Panda Canyon are especially popular with visitors.
It's not just the animals that are so impressive. The zoo is also home to a remarkable collection of plants. Not only do visitors enjoy seeing these beautiful plants as they walk through the zoo, the animals benefit too. The zoo grows its own bamboo for the panda bears and eucalyptus for the koala bears.
There's so much to see here, it's no wonder many visitors take advantage of the guided tours of the park. One tour takes you behind the scenes. Another puts you even closer to some of your favorite animals. Tour availability will vary by season so be sure to check a schedule to see which tours are offered the day you plan to visit the zoo.
The Wild Animal Park
Located about 30 miles from the San Diego Zoo is the Wild Animal Park. This attraction in the San Pasqual Valley draws crowds to its open-range animal exhibits. You can see exotic animal species in settings that closely resemble their natural habitats. There are zebras, gazelle, rhinoceroses, and wild horses. Tours are available, including some that let you feed the animals. Check the park's schedule for the most up-to-date tour information and times.
LEGOLAND California
Adventurers of all ages will find fun activities, rides, and attractions at this park dedicated to the beloved Lego building blocks. See animals, people, boats, cars, and other items made entirely of Legos. Located about 40 minutes from San Diego, it's worth the drive to enjoy this expansive park. There's a water area called Pirate Shores. If you plan to spend much time here, it's recommended that you wear a swimsuit and bring a change of clothes. There are plenty of rides throughout the park, including roller coasters, a log flume, and a free fall ride. If you've ever wondered how they make those fun little blocks, you can find out with a factory tour.
At the Beach
When you've worn out your feet by walking around these tourist attractions, San Diego has its share of inviting beaches. While it's perfectly fine to spend the afternoon under an umbrella with a good book, the beach can also offer plenty of activity. Be a beachcomber for an hour and explore the treasures of the tide-pools. Or, give surfing a try. You'll be in good company because surfing is very popular in San Diego. Head over to Mission Beach where you can ride the Giant Dipper roller coaster. There's also a good opportunity to people-watch at Mission and Pacific Beach. When you're ready to spend some quality time at the beach, you'll likely have a hard time deciding where to go. Other great beaches in the San Diego area include Imperial, Coronado, and Windansea. You have your pick of places to enjoy the sun, sand, and surf!
Whale watching is a fun activity, if you're in the area between December and March. You'll be watching the whales as they migrate to warm waters near Baja, California. Many companies offer whale-watching tours, so be sure to shop around and find the tour that's best for you in terms of schedule and price.
What to See in San Diego
Balboa Park calls itself the biggest urban cultural park in the U.S. The San Diego Zoo is located here, but it's just one of the many features. There are 15 museums, gardens, and places to enjoy the performing arts. This park provides exciting events year round, so be sure to check a schedule to find out what's happening in Balboa Park during your trip. Plan to visit California Tower, a 200-foot structure that reflects the ornate beauty of Spanish-style architecture.
One of the museums in Balboa Park is the San Diego Museum of Art. View impressive paintings, sculptures, and other works of art on display in spacious galleries. This venue offers a variety of pieces from around the world. The museum rotates exhibits and brings in special collections on a regular basis. There's also a lovely sculpture garden on the museum grounds.
Where to Shop and Eat in San Diego
It's not hard to find fine dining in San Diego. Truluck's offers superb seafood. Other top restaurant picks include Bertrand at Mister A's (American), Anthology (American), Sushi Ota (Japanese), and Georges California Modern (American). If you'd like to sample French cuisine and don't mind higher prices, give Tapenade, Pamplemousse Grille, or The Marine Room a try. If you're traveling during a busy time of year, it's always wise to make reservations to avoid long waits at the most popular restaurants.
When you're ready to shop, there are plenty of malls. You'll experience upscale shopping at Fashion Valley Center. This mall has Nordstrom, Nieman Marcus, and Bloomingdale's. For outdoor shopping, consider visiting Otay Ranch Town Center. Most stores open to the outside, meaning you'll catch some sun as you move from Ann Taylor to H&M. If you love Target, you'll want to check out the two-story store at Westfield Mission Valley. This shopping center also has a Nordstrom Rack where you can find some good bargains.
Don't forget to visit little shops and boutiques tucked away in neighborhoods and surrounding towns. There's excellent shopping at locally-owned stores in Little Italy, Hill Crest, and Mission Valley. If you're looking for something unusual or for collectibles, spend some time wandering around Adams Avenue Antique Row.
When to Visit San Diego
One of the main attractions of San Diego is its mild climate. Like most places in the US, August is the hottest month and December is the coolest. Temperatures remain pleasant year round with daily highs ranging from the mid 60s to the upper 70s. Rain is more likely from January through March, but even at these peak times, rainfall totals remain quite low. If you're looking to work on your tan, consider avoiding mid-May through mid-July when local weather patterns can bring fog and overcast skies to the coast. If you want to go whale-watching, the season begins at the end of December and runs through March.
What to Bring to San Diego
While temperatures are generally mild, bring a sweater or light jacket with you. You probably won't regret bringing a pair or two of light-weight pants. There can be fairly significant changes in temperature from mid-day to evening, so it's best to plan accordingly.
Consider bringing whatever gear you need for sporting or leisure activities. Though most equipment is available for purchase or rent, you can save money by bringing your own.
Local Services in San Diego
San Diego offers the same services you'd expect to find in any large metropolitan area in the US. There are hospitals, pet care services, and childcare providers. There are several forms of mass transit, including commuter trains, trolleys, and public buses (known as MTS).
What to Know About San Diego
There can be some variance in temperature here. The same day may offer pleasant weather at the beach, but hotter temperatures on the mesas. Be sure to check the local forecast each day to ensure you have the proper attire for where you're going.
Become familiar with the three different lines of the city's trolley system. It's a great, inexpensive way to get around. When you purchase your ticket at a self-service kiosk, you'll need to use that ticket within an allotted time, usually a matter of hours. Avoid this situation and save money by purchasing day passes.
Consider booking your trip between late November and mid-February, when San Diego is less crowded. High temperatures will still be in the mid 60s to lower 70s. That's definitely warmer weather than you'll find in many other places during the winter months. You're also sure to find more deals and discounts at restaurants, attractions, and events when tourism is slow. At this time of year, you'll avoid the crowds when you go out to eat or visit the zoo.
If you're planning to visit Sea World, you're not allowed to bring in any outside food or drinks except bottled water. Given that concession prices tend to be a bit high inside the park, save yourself a few bucks by bringing your own water. If you don't want to buy food inside the park, pack a cooler and eat your meal at the picnic tables just outside the entrance area.
Depending on which beach you visit, you might need to take an extra measure of caution as you walk into the ocean. Instead of picking up your feet as you walk, shuffle them so that you'll disturb any stingrays that might be ahead of you. Stings from these creatures can be very painful.
Getting to San Diego
Unless you're coming by car, train, or bus, you're likely to arrive at the San Diego International Airport. The airport is just three miles from downtown San Diego. There are taxis, shuttles, and rental cars available to get you from the airport to your San Diego vacation rental.
If you're coming from a western state, you might consider taking a Greyhound bus or Amtrak. For each of these options, you'll want to check schedules, itineraries, and prices to see if either of these is a better alternative to driving or flying. By evaluating the cost and travel time, you can determine your best option for getting to San Diego. Sometimes it's worth a little extra money for a plane ticket if it means arriving earlier in San Diego.
Why San Diego Vacation Rentals?
San Diego vacation rentals give you more amenities than a hotel or San Diego B&B. Many rentals offer kitchen areas, multiple bedrooms, laundry facilities, and a living space. With the extra space, you'll be able to unpack your suitcases and feel more at home during your vacation. Enjoy more privacy than you'd have at a crowded hotel. You'll find vacation rentals are close to some of the best areas of San Diego. It will make your visit to sunny San Diego as picture perfect as a postcard!

A federal bill, now before the U.S. Senate, is aimed at securing the Internet, but some lawmakers say it could open the door for an intrusive password policy. The purpose of the bill, known as the Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act (CISPA), is aimed at safeguarding the Internet from hackers, and while the bill doesn't explicitly require employees to hand over social media passwords to their bosses, the bill also doesn't prohibit businesses from asking, something that worries Central Florida residents. "That's personal and if you want to fire me, go ahead and fire me," said Johnny Morales. "I think it's private and I don't think they should be invading your privacy like that it's kind of getting out of hand," said Mack Powers. A motion to amend the bill and prevent employers from asking for employee passwords was just shot down in the house -- attorney Amanda Farahany says businesses that do ask for passwords could be setting themselves up for legal trouble. "Possibilities for discrimination are endless," Farahany said. Even employers like Dennis Robinson who runs a corporation says password policy is over the top. "I wouldn't ask for it as a boss but I would expect my employees not to do Facebook during work hours, but having their password doesn't seem to make much sense," Robinson said. The motion to protect social media passwords was defeated along party lines, with Republican lawmakers in the house voting against it, and we did contact some of those Florida lawmakers who shot it down but they were unavailable for comment.

A Northlake man was robbed of several thousand dollars at gunpoint as he left his apartment Friday, DeKalb County police said.
The man, 37, was walking toward his vehicle on the parking deck of The Ava apartment complex in the 2200 block of Parklake Drive when he was approached from behind by a man pointing a black 9mm handgun at him at about 9:30 p.m., the police report said.
"Give me all of your [stuff]," the robber said.
The suspect took a cash desposit bag with $6,100 in it – the man owns a nearby gas station – a cell phone, car keys, house keys and the station's keys. The robber got into a white Honda Civic driven by a second suspect and fled in an unknown direction.
A witness also told police he approached the Civic while the robbery was underway, and the robber pointed his gun at him to get him to step aside so they could drive away.
The first suspect was described as a black male with a light brown complexion and about 5 feet 6 inches tall with a low-cut hair style. He wore a white T-shirt. The second suspect was also described as a black male with a light brown complexion and about 5 feet 8 inches tall with a low-cut hair style. He also wore a white T-shirt.

Bryan Community participates in 6th annual MLK Community Service Day
January 19, 2010
More than 600 students, faculty and staff spent the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday working out the theme of "Love Where You Live" during Bryan's sixth annual community service day.
MLK Day coordinator Danielle Rebman said work teams spent the day raking leaves, cleaning flower beds and cleaning and painting for senior citizens or helping churches and community organizations with special projects. Two groups of students played host to children from the community, introducing them to Bryan College and encouraging them to strive for academic success.

Bordering Nevada to the west and Colorado to the east, Utah is smack bang in the path of the Rocky Mountains and rises to over 4,000 metres (over 13,000 feet). Parts of the state get 13 metres (500 inches) of snowfall a year - and lovely dry powder at that - making it a dream destination for skiing and snowboarding in the US.
There are around a dozen ski resorts in Utah, many of which are located within an hour of Salt Lake City International Airport - making access equally dreamy. Most have the sort of standards you'd expect from popular resorts, including decent facilities, terrain parks and night skiing, but there are notable features.
The Canyons, one of the largest ski areas in the US, has over 3,700 skiable acres of terrain and its own resort village with a lively apres ski scene. Snowbird boasts the biggest vertical of the area - around 1,100 metres or 3,240 feet and a top elevation of 3,350 metres (11,000 feet). Alta, meanwhile, is reknown for its powder and (alas snowboarders) for being a skiing-only resort.
Down on the flat, there's a maze of roads and trails that make ideal cross country skiing in Utah, in addition to the groomed trails on offer at ski areas.

The Archdiocese of Atlanta filed a federal lawsuit on Wednesday, seeking to block the Health and Human Services' healthcare mandate.
A statement released by the Roman Catholic Archdiocese on Wednesday says the mandate "unconstitutionally attempts to define the nature of the church's religious ministry and would force religious employers to violate their consciences."
Archbishop of Atlanta Wilton Gregory says the stakes are high for "religious liberty."
According to the statement, the archdiocese is filing the lawsuit because "the federal government is requiring religious organizations, under penalty of law, to provide, pay for, and/or facilitate access to abortion-inducing drugs, sterilization, and contraception in violation of their sincerely held religious beliefs."
In an interview with FOX 5's Portia Bruner, Gregory stressed that the lawsuit is not a political statement. He said that the lawsuit is only to block that specific mandate of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.
"The Catholic bishops of the United States have been in favor of universal healthcare for almost 100 years. We're on record supporting that. And we realize that, in the public arena, some of those medical services would not fall as part of our religious heritage. We would oppose that. We're not trying to say don't provide them. We're simply saying don't make us pay for that which we find contrary to our moral position," said Gregory.
Gregory said that an exemption provided by the government doesn't apply because the church doesn't qualify.
"The exemption that was offered says, well, if a third party -- a third entity -- is involved, then they can pay for it and then your consciences aren't violated. It doesn't work when you are the insurer, when you own the policy," said Wilton.
The Christ the King Catholic School, Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Atlanta and the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Savannah are also plaintiffs in the lawsuit.

Jackson County is launching an anti-violence initiative to help curb violent crime throughout the community - the program is called COMBAT.
Part of this new campaign includes putting up yard signs all over the neighborhood that say, "Don't Look the Other Way. Step up. Speak up."
"We need your help. We need your eyes and ears in the field. Without your assistance, we can't solve crimes," said Jackson County Sheriff Mike Sharp.
The idea that speaking up about a crime is taboo is a problem that has plagued crime-riddled areas for years. The Jackson County Community Backed Anti-Drug Tax - or COMBAT - group hopes to change that belief.
"I'm not looking for snitches, I'm looking for witnesses," said Jackson County Prosecutor Jean Peters-Baker.
The new anti-violence effort, which was kicked off Friday, had more than 100 volunteers and officials walking door-to-door, putting up signs and talking with residents, spreading the word to step up and speak up.
Frederick Johnson's brother was killed in 2010 and, to this day, no one knows who was behind it. While he's not convinced the latest anti-violence campaign will finally be the one to make a difference, he said he's willing to give it a try.
"We aren't making no accomplishment without trying, so I think we should just try to see what it brings out," he said.
Candace Cheatem agreed with Johnson.
"We have to keep trying, our kids are worth it, our community is worth it," she said.
But anyone who has lived in the Kansas City metro for any amount of time has most likely seen anti-violence campaigns before.
Friday authorities said this initiative is very much like the 2006 one called Silence is Killing Us. They said that program worked, doubling calls to the TIPS Hotline and helping solve some serious crimes. But the program fizzled out.
COMBAT plans to keep this campaign going.
"What's going to be different about this is it's got to be sustained. It can't just be a 2013 issue - it's got to go into '14, '15, '16 and with Legislator (Dan) Tarwater here that commitment is to do this in the long term. This becomes a permanent project for COMBAT," said Mike Sanders, Jackson County executive. "The message may modify a bit, but this is something that continues going forward."
Officials and volunteers hoped to knock on about 50,000 doors in the upcoming months.

In The Home Stretch for New Owego Elementary
10/8/2013 (Updated 10:49:08 PM)The two year long process of starting to rebuild the Owego Elementary School is in the home stretch.
All that is left before construction can start is voter approval of a referendum.
The referendum asks voters to authorize the issuance of bonds (long-term debt) totally $9.6-million to finance a portion of the coast of the new school, and to authorize spending $1.54-million from the district's capital reserve fund.
The rest of the project is funded through Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) (62.4%), New York State State Emergency Management (20.8%), and New York State School Building Aid (13%).
The school was flooded out and destroyed from the flood of 2011.
Since then, the school was relocated to the vacant Lineaus West Elementary in Endicott.
Owego Elementary first grade teacher and parent of two children of the school Stacey Silvesteri, said she can't wait for the school to reopen in Owego.
"My kids are on the bus up to two hours a day, so the sooner we can get in our new building the happier I'll be," said Silvesteri.
Some concerns going into Tuesday night's public meeting was how this project would be funded, specifically an increase in a tax levy.
Superintendent Dr. Bill Russell put those concerns at ease.
"We're very proud that we've put a funding package together that does not include any new taxes for the payers in Owego-Apalachin school district. This is very important to a community that's gone through what we've gone through," said Russell.
Another question raised before the meeting was why build the school where the old one flooded.
Russell said the new school will be building on fill four feet above the 500 year flood plain to protect the new state of the art school from flooding.
There will be another public information meeting on the referendum Tuesday October 15th at Owego Free Academy in the large group instruction hall.
The referendum vote will be Tuesday, October 22nd. The polls will be open from noon to 8p.m. at Apalachin Elementary School and Owego Free Academy.
If the voters approve, construction will start as soon as November, and be open fall 2015.

A shooting is under investigation on Thursday morning after an officer shot a man during a scuffle in northeast Birmingham.
Lt. Sean Edwards with Birmingham PD says the shooting happened in an alley off Oporto Madrid Boulevard near Birmingham Fire Station 19 and East Lake Library.
Two officers were patrolling the area around 2 a.m. when they saw two individuals fitting the description from an ATM robbery that had occurred around 11 p.m. on Wednesday at the Wells Fargo on 1st Avenue North.
According to Edwards, the officers approached the subjects and a scuffle began between one officer and one subject. The second officer pulled out a taser and used it on the subject fighting the first officer.
The subject who was not involved in the scuffle allegedly pulled a gun and pointed it at one of the officers. The second officer dropped his taser, drew his weapon and fired two shots.
The subject was struck by the gunfire. He was taken to UAB Hospital for treatment. He is reportedly in critical condition after undergoing surgery. Police have not said where he was shot.
The tased individual was treated at the scene and then taken to police headquarters for questioning. Both subjects were armed.
Lt. Edwards says both individuals will be facing a charge of violation of the state firearms act. The man who was shot could face serious charges over allegedly pointing a gun at officers. He will not be charged until after he is released from the hospital.
It has not yet been determined if the two men were connected to the ATM robbery or not.
The ABI will be handling the investigation.

Packed with cancer-fighting lycopene, tomatoes are also rich in flavor—which is why they're essentials in cuisines around
the world.
Season: Year-round; peak June through September.
How to Choose Tomatoes
A ripe tomato will be vibrant in color, plump, and firm and have just a little give. Sniff them if you can; if they're missing that sweet, woody smell, leave them behind. Always look for tomatoes and grape tomatoes that are free of wrinkles (a sign of age).
How to Store Tomatoes
Keep tomatoes unwashed and at room temperature (putting them in the refrigerator can turn the flesh mealy). For maximum air circulation, remove them from plastic bags. To help speed ripening, put them in a paper bag with an apple, which emits ethylene gas, a ripening agent. Once ripe, tomatoes will last up to 3 days.
How to Prepare Tomatoes
For the smoothest slicing, use a serrated knife, which will cut through a tomato's thin skin without bruising the flesh. To remove the core, cut around it at an angle with a paring knife.
How to Use Tomatoes
Big beefsteak tomatoes are best raw or for grilling, plum or Roma tomatoes for sauces. Cherry tomatoes make great cooked side dishes, and little grape tomatoes are easy to pop into salads. Heirloom tomatoes, found at farmers markets, are very flavorful varieties not cultivated on a large scale. Piquant green tomatoes are good for breading and frying.

Arizona's unemployment rate continues to drop. Today state officials put the jobless rate at 7.8 percent. That is a drop from October when it was above 8 percent.
It is also the third consecutive month the jobless rate has fallen. More than 22,000 non-farm jobs were added to Arizona's economy in November, the biggest November gain in 7 years.
Most jobs were in the private sector.
The national unemployment rate for November is 7.7 percent.
"Arizona's economy appears to be gaining momentum, the best gift of all for the people of our state this holiday season," said Governor Jan Brewer.
"Most impressive of all, better than 1 in every 7 jobs created nationwide last month was generated right here in the Grand Canyon State," she said.

It bugs Bunny Yeager just a little bit when people say she shot pinup girls in the 1950s and 1960s just as well as any man did. She shot them better than any man did, or any other woman, as far as shes concerned. But she does admit that she got the idea from guys, who when Bunny herself did modeling were always more interested in what was beneath the high-fashion clothes they were supposed to be taking pictures of.
When I was a model, most of the photographers I met and they were all males seemed to want to shoot nude girls, she recalls. When I was posing, they all tried to get my clothes off. Hey, cant you pull down your blouse a little more? Hey, lets do one without your top.
Id always say, oh, Im a professional model, Im not allowed to do that. And theyd accept that. Actually, nobody had ever said anything to me one way or the other. But I had no interest in doing it. I was very shy, and I didnt want to be known as a nude model.
But when she moved to the other side of the camera, everything changed. Bunny Yeager won fame and fortune persuading hundreds, possibly thousands, of other models to take their tops off. Bottoms, too. She turned pinup photos into an art form and made bare skin the official uniform of Miami Beach.
And now, at a time when a few clicks of the mouse can bring a cascade of artless pornography into any computer in America, shes staging an unlikely comeback. In cooperation with Miamis Center for Visual Communication, Yeager is opening a combination studio and gallery in Wynwood this week.
The working studio will be Yeagers headquarters for a new series of projects triggered by the long line of models who approach her every week, hoping for a chance to work with a photographer who was already famous four decades before they were born. And the gallery, with rotating exhibits of Yeagers pinup shots, will for the first time give her a permanent location to display her work to the public.
The studio and gallery are just part of a flurry of new activity celebrating Yeagers photography. She published one coffee table book of her photos last year ( Bunny Yeagers Darkroom, $60, Rizzoli) and has another of her work with pinup icon Bettie Page due next year. German fashion house Bruno Banani has launched a line of swimsuits based on the bikinis Yeager designed for her models. And Miamis Harold Golen Galley is doing a show next month of paintings inspired by her photos.
Its a startling turnaround for a photographer who, at age 83, believed her entire genre had long ago been obliterated by the new breed of men magazines that favored gynecology over allure, pushing aside pinups for porn.
I did no shooting at all in the 1970s and 1980s, recalls Yeager. In the 1960s, I shot more pictures than I was able to sell. But then mens magazines starting going out of business. You had magazines like Penthouse kind of smutty. They had girls showing more than they should. I wasnt going to try to show more than they did, because they showed everything.
It was an ironic turn for the woman who along with her sometimes-employer Hugh Hefner did as much as anyone, ever, to make photography of the unclad female form popular and respectable. Yeagers pinups were ubiquitous in the 1950s, not only in mens magazines (she shot eight Playboy centerfolds and, in one 1959 issue, added the cover and a 12-page pictorial story as well) but in slightly more clothed versions general-circulation publications like Pageant. She published more than a dozen books on photography and even appeared on the quiz show To Tell The Truth.
Her fascination with pinup-style photography started when she was just a young teenager and she spotted a movie-magazine layout on Rita Hayworth.
She was posing on a bed in what looked like a slip it was probably a nightgown, I know that now, but it wasnt like any nightgown Id ever worn, says Yeager. I got out one of my mothers slips, one with lace at the top, which looked a little bit like what Rita had worn. And my mother took my picture in it. I dont know whatever happened to that. I was always afraid it would fall into the wrong hands, like it was something bad.
Yeager was, soon enough, taking the pictures rather than posing for them, though just for fun. There wasnt much for kids to do in the rural area where she lived outside Pittsburgh even getting to the stop for the school bus was a three-mile hike and she started staging impromptu shoots with her girlfriends, posing them in funky outfits pulled together from the contents of old trunks in the family attic, taking the pictures with her moms Brownie box camera.
I remember one girl who used to hang around with me who was a little bit overweight, Yeager says. She was always there, hoping my popularity would rub off on her or something like that. And one time I asked her if she wanted to come over and pose for some pictures. She was so excited! I remember we made a bra for her out of a scarf, laying it across her chest, and I shot her like that out on the front porch. Pretty daring I cant believe we really did it. But we did.
Other sessions followed, with no shortage of girls willing to strike a risqué pose. They wanted to pose, Yeager laughs. They were dying to pose. Actual nudity, however, was out of the question. I wouldnt have known what to do with them, she says. Where would you even get something like that developed? We certainly didnt know how to develop anything.
A few years later, Yeagers family moved to Miami, where her buxom blond good lucks soon made her a top fashion model, working both runways and photo shoots. But the idea of taking the pictures rather than posing for them remained stuck in her head. And in 1953, Yeager began taking night classes at what was then called the Lindsey Hopkins Vocational School. And her very first class assignment caused a sensation.
The instructor told all of us to just go out and shoot anything we wanted, and the class would critique it together, she recalls. Yeager came back with film shot on a four-inch-by-five Speed Graphic press camera the kind you see pushy newspaper photographers wielding in old movies, with an exploding hand-held flash shot at Africa USA, a (mostly) cageless zoo in Boca Raton. But these werent your ordinary send-em-to-Grandpa pictures of zebras and chimps. They showed Yeagers model pals, wearing strategically cut leopard-skin bathing suits, cavorting with cheetahs in shots ranging from adventurous to pure Freudian meltdown.
Yeagers classmates were speechless. Her teacher ordered her to send them off to magazines immediately. Sure enough, a publication called Eye with a healthy appetite for cheesecake put one of them on its cover, and Yeagers new career was born.
Curiously, that photo wasnt one of those Yeager shot with her friend Bettie Page, a new Miami arrival who had already become a cult heroine back home in New York with the negligee-and-high-heels sessions she did with amateur camera clubs. Page would go on to become one of the most famous pinup models of the 1950s (thanks in no small part to a shot of her next to a Christmas tree, wearing nothing but a Santa hat, that Yeager sold to Playboy). But back then she was just mostly another one of Pages buddies, donating her time in return for free pictures for her modeling portfolio.
Yeager, however, already knew better.
Oh, she was beautiful! says Yeager, still shaking her head at the memory of her favorite model. She had beautiful hair, with a natural sheen, and never a hair out of place. A great figure, so tan. And when I told her I thought I might want to photograph her nude, she said, Funny, I sunbathe nude and I have a tan like this all over. And she did, everywhere, even behind her knees and all the places you wouldnt think. It was like somebody had airbrushed her
She lived by the Miami River in an old house she rented, and she would sunbathe in the back yard every day. It was sheltered in a way that, unless you were on a boat, you wouldnt know she was there, even though it was right there in downtown Miami.
Even in her shots from that first classroom assignment, you can see all the elements that would make Yeagers work so popular: The incandescent glow of her models skin (produced by Yeagers use of a flash even in bright daylight). The exotic costuming (Yeager, at first from penury and later by design, made all her models swimwear I was doing my own bikinis at the same time as that Frenchman, even though I didnt call them that). And, most strikingly, her preference for natural settings over studios.
She was one of the first photographers to marry nature with women, says Barry Fellman, who has been showing her pictures in galleries for years and manages the new Bunny Yeager Studio. Well, naked women.
Even so, what strikes Yeager about the photos that birthed her career is not the outdoor setting but those big, wild cats. Look how close my leg is to that cheetah, she murmurs, examining a photo with a concealed remote-control device, showing her posing Page next to the impassive jungle creatures. I must have been crazy. I certainly wouldnt do that now. But I dont remember being scared at all. I was just concentrating on getting the shot.
And she did, as she mostly would for the next couple of decades. The only shot to elude Yeager was one with Marilyn Monroe, the model she most would have liked to work with but never did. I had no idea how to find her and push all the way through those press people, she says sadly. I didnt have the guts to do it.
Maybe, now that Yeager is shooting again, things will work out better with the woman she thinks is todays most camera-friendly. Id love to work with that girl who gets in all the trouble, she muses. Whats her name? Lindsey Lohan, thats it. Shes just like the girls from the past, the way she moves, the way she poses. Classic. I dont know why she gets in all that trouble.

DALLAS — The fallout continues, one day after the conservative watchdog group Project Veritas posted a video that appears to show Affordable Health Care navigators in North Texas engaging in fraud and other questionable practices.
The highly edited video shows navigators telling someone posing as a potential enrollee to lie. The video was shot inside two Urban League of Greater Dallas offices, according to Project Veritas.
As a result, one Urban League employee was fired and three others were suspended.
The United Way of Tarrant County received nearly $6 million to hire and train navigators, the largest grant provided out to any single organization in the country.
President and CEO Tim McKinney saw the Project Veritas video. He said his organization takes the training of health care navigators very seriously.
"We are certainly instructing all of our navigators to be truthful and respectful in conversations with the consumer," McKinney said.
He explained that through a consortium of agencies, The United Way of Tarrant County has trained more than the 75 minimum navigators required by the federal government's grant.
In all, 120 navigators have been certified and trained; six are working in Tarrant County.
"We required a background check, which the federal government does not," McKinney said. "We are also providing an additional one-and-a-half hours of privacy training for all of our navigators."
At least one lawmaker, Republican Texas Sen. John Cornyn, called on President Obama Wednesday to dismantle the navigator program. Here are excerpts from Cornyn's written statement:
"I think Secretary [Kathleen] Sebelius surprised an awful lot of people when she admitted that people participating in the navigator program could possibly be convicted felons, because there is simply no screening mechanism to bar them from participating in the process and no background check whatsoever.
"We need to also dismantle the navigators program before it unleashes a wave of fraud and corruption."
McKinney said he disagrees with Cornyn's analysis.
"I really don't like to get into the politics of it, but I don't think that's an appropriate action," he said.
Especially, he said, when there are an estimated six million or more Texans who are uninsured.
Project Veritas founder James O'Keefe has used undercover cameras before. He filmed workers in ACORN offices in 2009, saying he uncovered illegal acts of voter fraud. Those workers were later cleared.
Because the video comes from O'Keefe's partisan activist group, the Urban League is requesting an unedited copy and promising a full investigation.

There was a time when there were just four superpowers in tennis: Australia, France, the UK and the USA. The homes of the four Grand Slams. That hasn't been the case for a long, long while, the sport spreading to far-flung spots around the globe as all sorts of countries have taken it up with abandon.
Europe has become a tennis superpower in itself - Italy, Spain, Germany, Croatia, Serbia, the Czech Republic, Russia and many more combining to bring new faces to the table.
But on examining the junior draws at this year's Australian Open, there are new countries emerging on the tennis map, new territories which could be producing the Grand Slam champions of the future. Davis and Fed Cup, for example, are now played in 123 and 90 nations respectively.
First and foremost, tennis in Asia is on a growth spurt all of its own.
Take Korea, for example. There were no fewer than six Koreans in the boys' main draw this year, including the astonishing Duck-Hee Lee, the 14-year-old who captured attention for his deafness. Two of them are in the semi-finals of the boys' doubles.
China, considered by many to be the superpower of the future, even before Li Na's extraordinary success, had 18 players here in Melbourne, 12 of them seniors, but six juniors too, including, for the first time, some boys. And don't forget the two juniors from Hong Kong and one from Chinese Taipei.
And Japan, where Kei Nishikori is a national hero, had 21 competitors, many of them in qualifying, but future attention lavished on three boys and two girls.
The Philippines, Thailand and Indonesia too have up and coming youngsters.
Then there is South America, the continent which Roger Federer described as a revelation during his recent exhibition tour, the first time he had played south-west of the Equator. The Argentines and Brazilians aside, the southern hemisphere continent has not been one of the strongest in tennis terms, especially among the women. But Argentina had 11 players in Melbourne, Brazil had 10, and Chile had four.
Africa, admittedly, has little to offer other than the odd South African or Moroccan. But that will come.
And then there's Eastern Europe. Heralded by the likes of Safin, Sharapova, Djokovic and Ivanisevic, tennis in the east of Europe continues to catapult. There were 14 Croatians in the draw, three of them juniors, 13 from Ukraine, a whopping 25 from the Czech Republic and 15 from Serbia, four of those very promising juniors, including the boys' world No.1 Nikola Milojevic.
Latvia, Estonia, Belgium too; those countries make up the latter stages of the girls' singles, alongside two Czechs, a Belgian, a Croatian, a German and a Russian.
The boys' latter stages, similarly, feature two Italians, a Serb, a Slovak, A Croatian and a South African. Australia is the only Grand Slam nation still in singles contention in the juniors, with two Aussies remaining in the boys' singles draw.
All of which is to say that tennis has become a truly global phenomenon. And the next Federer, Nadal, Djokovic and Murray could well not be from an established nation. Watch this space.

EAST LANSING, Mich. (WDRB) – It's a long and grinding road until April 6 and 8 in Atlanta, where the NCAA Final Four will be played in the Georgia Dome.
Lots of buzzers to be beaten. Foul trouble to dodge. Sprained ankles to survive. Brackets to be busted. Prayers to be answered.
But Indiana and Michigan State have played two games this season, and nobody should be shocked if either team shows up on the final weekend of the season.
They played a classic game in Bloomington Jan. 27 – and Indiana won 75-70.
The rematch was just as epic. Back and forth. Jab and hook. Serve and volley.
But in the end, behind the thunderous play of junior Victor Oladipo, Indiana defeated the Spartans again in the Breslin Center, 72-68. The Hoosiers (24-3, 12-2) are now a game up on Michigan State in the Big Ten race. It was IU's first win in East Lansing since 1991.
In the final five minutes, Oladipo had a huge steal, a block, a tip-in, a defensive rebound, run-out basket and made two free throws to ice the game. About the only thing he didn't do was grab the microphone from Magic Johnson, Dick Vitale and Mike Tirico and sing.
THE 1,000-POINT MEN – Cody Zeller scored six points in the first five minutes to push his career scoring total past 1,000 points. Zeller finished with 17 and now has 1,011. Oladipo finished with 19, pushing his career total to 1,005. Jordan Hulls and Christian Watford are also members of the Hoosiers' 1,000-point club. It is the first time in IU history the Hoosiers have had four 1,000-point scorers on the same team.
RUNNING IT OFF – There wasn't much doubt that Victor Oladipo would play after spraining his left ankle against Purdue last Saturday. Oladipo sat out the second half of the Purdue game, but only because the Hoosiers had a comfortable lead and Crean wanted to make certain that his most valuable defensive player was ready for Michigan State.
Oladipo not only started, he played 30 minutes and in addition to his scoring had five steals and nine rebounds. Oladipo said his ankle was about 85 percent. Crean did not sound convinced that Oladipo was that sound.
IT'S MAGIC – Former Michigan State star Magic Johnson teamed with Dick Vitale and Mike Tirico to work his first college game this season on ESPN Tuesday night.
Johnson said the Big Ten was clearly the best conference in college basketball this season and that he would not be surprised to see any of four Big Ten teams win the national championship this season.
But Johnson shook his head when asked if this was the best year ever for Big Ten basketball.
He said the real glory days were in the late 70s when he roamed the court for the Spartans, winning the 1979 NCAA title.
Of course.
SUCH GOOD FRIENDS – Michigan State coach Tom Izzo and Tom Crean of Indiana have endured multiple recruiting battles (primarily for MSU freshman Gary Harris a year ago) and competed on the court in the Big Ten for the last five seasons.
But their friendship remains solid. In fact, Izzo said before the game that coaching against Crean Tuesday night compared with the emotions that he expected that the Harbaugh brothers felt before they met in the Super Bowl.
FAMILY AFFAIR -- Crean grew up a little more than an hour from East Lansing and said one of his first basketball memories was watching the Harlem Globetrotters play at Jennison Fieldhouse. He had several special guests for the game -- his father, his mother and his sister.
FEELING THE PAYNE – The statistics say that Michigan State forward Adreian Payne is not a three-point shooter. He really isn't. During his freshman and sophomore seasons Payne, 6-foot-10 forward, had made one three-point shot during his career.
Then Payne stuck three threes against Indiana in Bloomington last month.
A fluke. Nope. He made three more Tuesday night, inspiring the question:
Why doesn't Payne shoot three-pointers against everybody?
UP NEXT – Indiana has a week off, but returns to the road next Tuesday at Minnesota. The Hoosiers defeated Tubby Smith's team, 88-81, in Assembly Hall Jan. 12. Indiana also won in Williams Arena last season. The road gets more difficult for Michigan State. The Spartans face consecutive road games at Ohio State and Michigan.

Conditions are near perfect for a toxic red tide bloom off the coast of Lee County. Increased water releases will continue from Lake Okeechobee, but experts disagree whether that fresh water will actually encourage the blooms. To Fort Myers resident Marie Alex, the Caloosahatchee River is the region's biggest draw.
"Let's face it, when you have a nice atmosphere like this it's so good--it feels so good," she said. "You can get on the boat and go all over and see everything and there are pelicans out there. It's just beautiful." Managing the lake that feeds the river falls on the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. And Friday, they decided to continue releases that reduce lake levels by sending additional fresh water down river.
"If we were to get a huge storm that causes the lake to rise 3 or 4 feet that makes the water management problem a lot more challenging," said John Campbell, spokesman for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. At the same time, scientists say samples taken off Sanibel Island may indicate the development of another toxic red tide bloom. Experts disagree whether extra fresh water fuels red tide. But they're increasing efforts to monitor the impacts. There is nothing we can do to prevent red tide. So, this latest round of information serves as an alert for scientists to be on the lookout for patches of algae and take more water samples.

Posts Tagged 'Samsung'
What a memorable Saturday for Chinese fansApril 24, 2011
On April 23rd, Samsung invited SNSD for a fanmeeting event and also the premiere of their new IT products in Beijing's CGV Star International Movie City situated next to the Bird's Nest Stadium.
At the venue, Samsung showcased their new 3D TV as well as Premium Laptop Series 9 and other various IT products. Besides that, visitors/fans had the opportunity to watch SNSD's live performances of 'Hoot', 'Oh!' and 'Gee', tried out Samsung's new products, took part in lucky draws and had photo sessions with SNSD.
During the event, the girls also answered questions about the Samsung products they are using and places they wanted to go in Beijing. In reply to the MC's question Yuri said that she is using a Samsung printer. Tiffany on the other hand, revealed that she is using a pink laptop, which triggered loud cheers from the fans. About the place that they wanted to go, the girls mentioned the 'Great Walls of China'.
A representative of Samsung revealed, "Last year, SNSD endorsed Samsung in China and received many good responses. We believe they would largely contribute to the growth of Samsung's market in China".

CHAPEL HILL — Scooter riders at UNC-Chapel Hill will likely get a break this week.
Campus trustees appear ready to significantly lower a new fee charged to folks who park scooters on campus.
The change, which comes after months of outcry from the scooter community, would drop the price of a scooter permit to $24. The previous policy, approved earlier this year but not slated to take effect until mid-August, would have charged employees anywhere from $174 to $371 annually, depending on their salary level. Students would have been charged $175, or $44 if they also had a permit to park a car on campus.
According to a UNC-CH memo, the price cut came after campus officials realized many other campuses charged far less for scooter permits.
That's true. One example: At Duke University, scooter permits are $25, or free if you have a car permit.
The audit and finance committee of UNC-CH's Board of Trustees signed off on the change Wednesday. The full board will likely approve it today.
The university says scooter riders, who until now have parked near their buildings and used bike racks or other structures to secure their scooters, will now have to park in lots currently designated for motorcycles.
And officials say they plan to install new metal "U-Racks" that can be used to secure the scooters.
Under the revised policy, the university would institute a warning period through Nov. 1. After that, violators would face a $30 fine.
Repeat violations would net additional $55 fines.
The scooter policy marks the first time UNC-CH has regulated scooters, the small motorized bikes with engines of 50 cubic centimeters or less. University officials say scooters have long been overlooked in parking regulations, but their use has increased in recent years, posing a hazard to pedestrians.
Brian Moynihan, a UNC-CH graduate student who rides a scooter to campus each day, said he has concerns about the logistics of the new regulation, but the price reduction is a "step in the right direction."

Rugby star killed in slurry tragedy
12:41am Sunday 16th September 2012 in National News © Press Association 2014
A young rugby star has been killed alongside his brother and their father in a farming tragedy which also injured their sister in Northern Ireland.
Nevin Spence, 22, rose to prominence playing for Ulster Rugby and was a rising star in Ireland's international rugby scene but died after falling into a slurry tank.
Emergency crews went to the family farm in Drumlough Road outside Hillsborough, Co Down, shortly after 6pm on Saturday following reports that four people had fallen into the slurry pit. Following a lengthy rescue operation it was confirmed that three men had died and a woman was taken to hospital for treatment for the inhalation of fumes.
Rugby players and fans paid tribute to the young player on social media as news emerged of his involvement in the tragedy.
Northern Ireland First Minister Peter Robinson said on Twitter: "Deeply saddened to hear of the tragedy in Hillsborough this evening. My thoughts and prayers are with family at this time of devastation."
Nevin Spence was a member of the Ulster Rugby squad that reached the European Heineken cup final last season, and he was predicted to have a glittering international career ahead of him.
Tributes have poured in from across the rugby world and beyond for Mr Spence and his family.
His former Ulster team-mate Ian Humphreys said on Twitter: "Devastated to hear the news about Nevin Spence and his brother and dad. Prayers with all his family... RIP Nev, you'll never be forgotten..."
Former Ireland and Munster hooker Jerry Flannery tweeted: "Terrible news on Nevin Spence, his Brother and their Dad. Offering up prayers for their family and friends, unbelievably sad."
Northern Ireland golfer Rory McIlroy also tweeted his condolences, saying: "Just heard the tragic news of Nevin Spence and his family. Makes you cherish every day you have on this Earth".
