Fifty years ago on Aug. 27, two young black women who would later become civil rights leaders in Delaware County embarked on a life-changing journey to the nation's capital from different parts of the country.
Equipped with generous portions of fried chicken, potato salad and other mainstays of southern cooking, 19-year-old Linda West Osinupebi boarded a bus with her big sister, Laura Heath, at a church in Atlanta and headed north in what would soon become a caravan of buses.
"There was racism in the north, although we didn't experience it like we did in the south where we were told, 'You can't sit here, you can't eat here.' We brought our own food. We were constantly on guard," said Osinupebi, a retired social worker who now resides in Yeadon.
Meanwhile, 16-year-old Joan Duvall-Flynn and her 18-year-old sister, Sylvia Duvall, traveled from Sandusky to Toledo, Ohio, where they boarded an eastbound train that resounded with the strains of "We Shall Overcome" and other songs of the civil rights era.
"The young people on the train, we sort of nicknamed it 'The Freedom Train,'" said Duvall-Flynn, now a Concord resident and retired college professor.
Both Osinupebi and Duvall-Flynn , who would not meet until decades later, rode through the night and arrived in the nation's capital in the early morning hours of Aug. 28, 1963, for what was then the largest civil rights demonstration in U.S. history, the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom. An estimated 250,000 people rallied between the U.S. Capitol and the Lincoln Memorial.
"It is a memory so life-changing and so poignant, it doesn't fade. People met us at Union Station and walked us to Independence Avenue to the reflecting pool. There was every kind of humanity, every religious tradition, every hue and creed of people," said Duvall-Flynn. "It was beautiful."
She noted that most march participants departed the city the same day they arrived for the peaceful assemblage, which was coordinated by human rights activist Bayard Rustin, a West Chester native who attended Cheyney University in Thornbury.
On Aug. 8, he was posthumously awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President Barack Obama. One of the principal organizers of the 1963 march was Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters union founder A. Philip Randolph, who had previously helped organize the first Youth March for Integrated Schools and a prayer pilgrimage to Washington, D.C., to raise awareness of racial discrimination in the south.
Highlighting the 1963 march was the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.'s famous "I Have a Dream" speech, remembered for such refrains as: "I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: 'We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal.'"
"It is a blur because there was a series of speakers and Mahalia Jackson was singing and the sound systems in 1963 were not what they are today. We could hear his voice, but it was later on the train as the radio replayed his speech, we could reflect on what he was saying," noted Duvall-Flynn.
Nevertheless, said Osinupebi, the powerful voice of the civil rights pioneer was unmistakable. A hush came over the crowd as he began to speak on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial.
"He was such a good speaker. The emotion in his voice came through the microphone. He kept saying, 'I have a dream.' Whenever I look at his writing, I think, 'God, he was a spiritual person. He was the Moses of our time,'" said Osinupebi.
While most people remember the "dream" part of King's speech, Duvall-Flynn said his pleas for social justice are what most moved her and what she feels are still relevant today.
"He talked about having the access to vote and for political participation. We still talk about judicious access to vote and political participation, social justice and equality under the law," noted Duvall-Flynn.
The historic march was believed to have expedited the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits discrimination on the basis of color, creed, nationality or gender, and the Voting Rights Act of 1965, which was designed to prevent mostly southern states from creating obstacles to voting, part of which was recently struck down by the U.S. Supreme Court in June.
A handbill urging the public to participate in the 1963 march on Washington noted: "America faces a crisis. Millions of Negroes are denied freedom. Millions of citizens, black and white, are unemployed."
The demands listed were: meaningful civil rights laws; massive federal works programs; full and fair employment; decent housing; the right to vote; and adequate integrated education.
The appeal for participation came from: James Farmer on behalf of the Congress for Racial Equality; Whitney Young on behalf of the National Urban League; Roy Wilkins on behalf of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People; A. Philip Randolph on behalf of the Negro American Labor Council; John Lewis on behalf of the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee; and the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. on behalf of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference.
The same year as the march, King was arrested in Alabama, where racial discrimination was rampant, for defying a court order barring demonstrations. Even his fellow ministers chastised him, calling his behavior "unwise and untimely." King's response to them was his "Letter from a Birmingham Jail," in which he explained why civil disobedience is sometimes necessary to bring light to an unjust law.
"I submit that an individual who breaks a law that conscience tells him is unjust, and who willingly accepts the penalty of imprisonment in order to arouse the conscience of the community over its injustice, is in reality expressing the highest respect for law," wrote King.
In 1964, when he was 35, King became the youngest person ever awarded the Nobel Prize for Peace. He was shot to death by James Earl Ray on April 4, 1968, as he stood on the balcony of the Lorraine Motel in Memphis, Tenn., where he had traveled to support striking sanitation workers.
King formulated some of his convictions on combatting discrimination while living in Delaware County. He was on staff at Calvary Baptist Church in Chester from 1948 to 1951 while studying at the old Crozer Theological Seminary in Upland, where he was inspired to apply the tenets of Christianity to the Civil Rights Movement.
On Aug. 28, from 6 to 7:30 p.m., the public is invited to observe the 50th anniversary of the march on Washington at J. Lewis Crozer Library, 620 Engle St. in Chester, which will host the screening of a film recently produced at Memorial Park featuring local residents reading aloud King's "I Have a Dream" speech.
President of the Media NAACP for nearly seven years, Flynn is leading a busload of people to Washington, D.C., on Aug. 24 for a 50th anniversary celebration of the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom. It comes just a week after coordinating a youth summit designed to educate young people about the struggles and milestones of the Civil Rights Movement at the Unitarian Universalist Church in Upper Providence.
Osinupebi, who is president of the Yeadon NAACP, which she founded in 1996, said her health most likely will prevent her from traveling to the nation's capital for the half-century celebration. However, in 1988 she did journey there for the 25th anniversary of the historic march and stood on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial with Andrew Young, who had been a friend and ally of King.
Osinupebi had met the future U.S. congressman, United Nations ambassador and Atlanta mayor, when he was a pastor and civil rights activist and she was a teenager spending summers in Atlanta, baby-sitting her sister, Laura's, two children. She also met future NAACP chairman Julian Bond when he was a college student registering African-Americans to vote.
One of 10 children of Lucille and Willie Joe West, Osinupebi grew up in the small Georgia town of Whitesburg, 48 miles south of Atlanta where the sheriff and the grocery store owner were the same white man.
"We knew certain people in the community were in charge of things," said Osinupebi.
White children did not address black adults with courtesy titles, unlike black children, who were obligated to call their white elders "miss" and "mister," recalled Osinupebi.
Despite the fact there were schools four blocks from her home, she had to ride the bus an hour each way to attend schools for blacks only. Her high school alma mater in Carrollton, Ga., is now a cultural center in danger of being torn down.
"We're trying to raise money to turn it into a museum," said Osinupebi.
She participated in the 1957 Love, Law and Liberation Altanta bus boycott inspired by the 382-day Montgomery, Ala., bus boycott led by King in 1955 after Rosa Parks was arrested for refusing to relinquish her bus seat to a white man. In 1956, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled segregation on Montgomery buses unconstitutional, a decision that was echoed in 1959 in Atlanta by a federal district court.
"We had to do a lot of walking. The churches organized carpools, but I was from the country anyway and had to walk to church," said Osinupebi
Her father and grandfather were among the founding members of New Hope Church in Whitesburg, which they helped build.
"My daddy worked on the railroad. He laid down the wood for the tracks and hammered the nails," said Osinupebi.
She and her twin sister, Glenda, now of White Plains, N.Y., were the youngest children in the family and were only 4-years-old when their father died, leaving their mother to support the five children still at home by washing clothes and cleaning houses. In the summers, Osinupebi would go to Atlanta where she would stay with Heath in the Carver housing project and baby-sit her niece and nephew. Her sister, who is 80, still lives in Atlanta but now owns a home.
At age 12, when marching around the Atlanta capitol building with Heath, Osinupebi remembered being pummeled with rocks and rotten tomatoes packed with gravel and sticks.
"You never get used to it and you never forget the experience, just to see the hatred in the young girls and boys spewing the 'N' word," Osinupebi told the Daily Times in 2008.
After the 1963 march, she went with her sisters, Glenda, and Louvenia, who died in 2010, to White Plains where she worked in the cafeteria of the B. Altman and Co. department store.
"The idea was that when you finished high school you went north and got a job because there were no kind of jobs in the south ... there were no jobs for us," said Osinupebi.
She went on to marry a native of Nigeria with whom she had three daughters, Atinuke, who is an attorney, Abiola, who has worked as a teacher and certified nursing assistant, and Oluwaseyi, who earned a sports management degree from California State University and is in the job market. Osinupebi, who is now divorced, eventually earned a sociology degree from Rosemont College in Montgomery County in 1973 and was a caseworker for the Pennsylvania Department of Public Welfare for almost 30 years before her retirement in 2003.
Even as a substitute teacher in Northeast Philadelphia, Osinupebi remembered a boy on a bicycle yelling a racial slur at her as she cut through a park perceived to be for "whites only" in the mid-1970s.
Flynn experienced some of the discrimination of the south while spending summers with both sets of grandparents on their farms in central Kentucky. When she and her siblings would go to the movies in the nearest town, Campbellsville, their aunt and uncle would have to steer them to the balcony, so they would not sit with the white patrons.
Born in Sandusky, Ohio, Flynn was one of five children of Alpha and Woodrow Duvall, who built their own home on Sandusky's east side and petitioned to get city water connected to their street. Her father was a laborer and union shop steward at the local steel mill where he assisted sharecroppers recruited to work at the mill in such basics as opening bank accounts, applying for mortgages and filing income taxes. Her mother labored at several jobs while also serving as president of the Sandusky NAACP.
"She was an amazing force for justice," said Flynn. "The whole family got involved in the work that was done."
It was through the NAACP that she and her sister and 19-year-old Patsy Gant were able to attend the 1963 March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom. Flynn was secretary, her sister was treasurer and Gant was president of the Sandusky NAACP youth chapter.
"The elders wanted us to have that experience so they invested in us instead of themselves," said Flynn, who was about to enter her senior year of high school at the time of the march.
In Sandusky, housing was an issue for African-Americans, who were restricted to living in the city's south side or the marshy east end in cinderblock houses with dirt floors.
"Getting a mortgage was very, very difficult for people of color," said Flynn
Around the time of the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, she remembered her mother sitting at a Singer sewing machine table in her living room, working with federal housing officials planning a low-income housing development called Sunnyside Acres.
There was also discrimination in employment. Flynn helped blaze trails when, at age 17, she was sent to work at a pizza stand at the Cedar Point amusement park after NAACP officials advocated for the position.
Sandusky High School was integrated, but administrators forbade cross-racial dancing in the school lounge and discouraged African-American students from attending college.
"I went to the counselor and said I wanted to take the SAT and she said that that was not necessary, that I probably wouldn't get into college and I should set my sights on being a secretary," recalled Flynn.
Nevertheless, she graduated high school a year early and began studying sociology at Kent State University. When her father died, she returned home and studied elementary education at a satellite campus of Bowling Green State University while working as a sales associate for J.C. Penney department store. A store seamstress, Freda Garrett, introduced her to Julius "J.B." Flynn Jr., to whom she had rented a room when he was unable to find housing because he was black. Joan and Julius were married July 17, 1967.
"He had been hired to desegregate the (Sandusky) high school physical education faculty," said Flynn, who noted that her husband also coached basketball, football and swimming.
In 1968, he was recruited to teach in the recreation department at Cheyney University where he remained on the faculty for 44 years, including more than 14 years as football coach. The Flynns moved to Pennsylvania and became the first African-American family to purchase a home on High Street in West Chester.
"People did not choose to sell to people of color. People would come to the door and tell the Realtor, 'We're not selling to them.' Sometimes, we didn't even get out of the car," she said.
When their family grew to three children, the Flynns moved to their home in the Glen Mills section of Concord. They have two sons. Julius is an educator and Jonathan works in finance. Their daughter, Heather, worked as an international human rights specialist for nine years for U.S. Sen. Joe Biden, D-Del., before he was elected vice president, and now works in a similar capacity in the Office of the Undersecretary for Civilian Security, Democracy and Human Rights for the U.S. Department of State.
"As far back as I can remember, my mother was a social justice advocate," said Flynn.
She wishes her mother, who died in 1995, could have lived to see her granddaughter's achievement.
"It used to dawn on me that things got moved to a new level of advocacy in our women's blood line. She is a social justice advocate on a global scale," said Flynn.
Flynn herself earned a doctorate in education, leadership and innovation from Wilmington University and taught there, as well as at Cheyney and Neumann University in Aston, before her retirement.
"I've spent all of my time advocating for education," said Flynn.
Her sister, Sylvia, with whom she attended the 1963 march on Washington is also a social advocate, as well as a middle school teacher in Lorain, Ohio. She spearheaded a campaign with the Negro Women's Business and Professional Club to erect a downtown statue commemorating Station 100 on the Underground Railroad where fugitive slaves were dispatched across Lake Erie to safety in Canada. With her church, Sylvia has implemented a community garden that feeds 4,000 people.
"I worked in the garden with her last month for a week," said Flynn.
She is hoping her granddaughters, 14-year-old Dominique and 12-year-old Skylar, will join her and her husband on the Aug. 24 Media NAACP bus trip to Washington so they can understand the importance of advocacy.
She remembers realizing how precious and fragile life was when walking along Independence Avenue under the stern eyes of National Guardsman in riot gear, a half-century ago.
"There wasn't anyone marching down that road who wanted anything but social justice. It was a good, beautiful spirit. That was the day I realized that citizens in a free society have to be willing to risk their safety to protect democracy," said Flynn.
Osinupebi, who has two grandsons, also is concerned about perpetuating the spirit with which she was imbued on Aug. 28, 1963, after listening to the words of King Jr. on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial.
"He could move you to get up and want to be a part of things, to make things better on this Earth," said Osinupebi. "He walked with that kind of light and inspiration. He looked like he would never tire."

Cocktail woman's stomach removed
2:36am Monday 8th October 2012 in National News © Press Association 2014
A teenage woman needed a life-saving operation to remove her stomach after drinking a cocktail containing liquid nitrogen.
The 18-year-old, named in reports as Gabby Scanlan, began feeling breathless after consuming the drink during a night out with friends in Lancaster City Centre on Thursday.
She then developed severe stomach pain and was taken to Lancaster Royal Infirmary at about 11pm.
Medics diagnosed the girl with a perforated stomach and were forced to perform emergency surgery to remove the body part, Lancashire Police said.
The girl, from Heysham, remains in hospital in a serious but stable condition, the force added.
Officers have launched an investigation into the incident.
A number of witnesses at the night spot where the drink was bought are being interviewed by police and the licensed premises has stopped selling drinks containing the chemical.
A Lancashire Police spokeswoman said: "Medical opinion is that this would have proved fatal had the operation not been carried out urgently.
"The investigation is still in its early stages and we are still interviewing witnesses to establish the full facts.
"The premises involved have fully co-operated with all agencies and have suspended drinks involving liquid nitrogen."

Arto Tuncboyaciyan Radio
b. 1957, Galataria, Turkey. Tun+ºboyaciyan is a well known session musician in his home country as well as being renowned for his percussion work for artists such as Joe Zawinul, Chet Baker and Oregon, and has appeared on over 2, 000 recordings. He released his solo debut, Virgin Land, in 1989 but his first widely available album, Every Day Is A New Life, was not issued until 2000.
Tun+ºboyaciyan is the youngest child of an Armenian family and was inspired to create music by his brother Onno, a composer and bass player. By the age of 11, Arto was a percussionist in a band alongside his brother. When his brother subsequently formed his own band, Arto joined playing trombone and percussion. He moved to the USA in 1981 where he carved out a respectable session career collaborating with jazz and world musicians, while also releasing the occasional solo album and recording with the instrumental jazz quartet Night Ark. The death of his brother in a 1996 plane accident appears (understandably) to have been a major influence on Tun+ºboyaciyanGÇÖs output. The event was the emotional catalyst for, Tears Of Dignity (1996) and Onno (1998), with Armenian ud player and Night Ark member Ara Dinkjian. The latter album included tracks entitled GÇÿMy Royal BrotherGÇÖ, GÇÿI Know You Hear MeGÇÖ, and GÇÿRolling In My SleepGÇÖ. The theme was revisited on 2000GÇÖs US debut Every Day Is A New Life with the tracks GÇÿI Miss You Every Moment My BrotherGÇÖ and GÇÿDear My Friend OnnoGÇÖ. On this album, Tun+ºboyaciyan accompanied himself on the sazabo (a traditional six-stringed lute), soloed on the traditional double-reed duduk, and played percussion.
In 1998, Tun+ºboyaciyan founded the Armenian Navy Band (Armenia is landlocked), a small orchestra rooted in Armenian and Anatolian traditional music. The band was formed with the explicit intention of creating a group to represent the sound of contemporary Armenia, and has recorded several albums including Bzdik Zinvor (1999) and New Apricot (2001). Tun+ºboyaciyan has also recorded with US alt-metal band System Of A Down (whose members are of Armenian heritage), appearing on Toxicity (2001) and Steal This Album! (2002), playing everything from an empty Coke bottle to his bare chest to a bucket filled with water. In 2003, Tun+ºboyaciyan collaborated on an album with System Of A Down frontman Serj Tankian as Serart. At the start of 2005 he released two simultaneous albums, a duo project with Armenian Navy Band pianist Vahagn Hayrapetyan and the solo Artostan.

CATEGORIES MoviesNearly eighty years after they were gunned down, outlaws Bonnie and Clyde are back with a big-screen film and a new musical.
The Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway 'Bonnie and Clyde' set a new bar for cinematic violence back in 1967, with the duo dying in an agonizing hail of bullets that shocked and scandalized audiences.
Neil Burger ('Limitless') has just agreed to direct a version that promises to be shocking in its own way.
The new film will be based on 'Go Down Together: The True, Untold Story of Bonnie and Clyde' by Jeff Guinn, who claims that before hooking up with Barrow, Bonnie Parker was a prostitute and that Clyde's first murder was the cell mate who had repeatedly sexually abused him.
Those were details that didn't emerge in the 1967 Arthur Penn version, although Clyde's impotence was cited as a motivation for his hair-trigger temper.
Might we see 'Limitless' star Bradley Cooper as Clyde Barrow? Probably not, since the real-life Bonnie and Clyde were just 22 when they were gunned down.
'Up in the Air' screenwriter Sheldon Turner and producers Sean and Bryan Furst are teaming with Burger on the project.
A musical about the Depression-era lovers is also set to open on Broadway on December 1.
Who would you cast as Bonnie and Clyde?

I know of Michael Booker. When he's not on drugs he's generally a nice person. Locking someone up for a drug habit is not always the answer. The person has to have the want to change. And then put the action behind the words. Saying and doing is two different things. You can deal and use drugs in jail!

When the Cypress Bay boys' volleyball team took the floor for the third set of its state play-in game with Cardinal Gibbons, it could easily have been its last match of the season.
The Lightning, which has never been to states, was down 2-0 and on the brink of elimination. The players did not hang their heads. After all, they defeated Archbishop McCarthy, the champions in their district, in straight sets in the previous round.
The Lightning (15-1) came storming back to win the next three sets 25-23, 25-22 and 17-15 to advance to the state tournament, which begins with the quarterfinal round Friday at Silver Spurs Arena in Kissimmee.
"It started out a little shaky," second-year Cypress Bay coach Chris Guerra said. "I told the guys we got to fight through, just like we've done all season, and good things will happen if you just stay together and stay focused."
The Lightning will face undefeated Longwood Lyman, ranked the No. 1 team in Central Florida by Bright House Sports Network.
Also making the trip to Kissimmee from Broward County, but for the first time in three years, are the Douglas boys.
This season's seniors were freshmen the last time the Eagles advanced to state. They made it there with three-set victories against Deerfield Beach and Taravella and a four-set win over West Boca Raton in the play-in round.
The Eagles will play Southwest Miami.
Senior outside hitter Matt Archambault leads Douglas with 112 kills. His chemistry with senior setter Jorge Rojas, with 450 assists on the season, is the key to Douglas' success.
If Douglas and Cypress Bay are both able to defeat their state quarterfinal opponents, they would set up an all-Broward semifinal.
Upperroom Christian's Adanaca Brown, still basking in a sweep of the 100 hurdles and 300 hurdles and finishing third in the long jump at the Class 1A state finals, will announce her college decision inside the school Friday.
Brown, a Bahamian native, has narrowed her list to Michigan, Michigan State, Western Kentucky, Cincinnati and Nova Southeastern.
Calvary Christian has tapped into the state championship experience former Dillard star forward Cilk McSweeney brings as its new boys' basketball coach.
McSweeney played an integral role as a deadly 6-5 outside shooter for Dillard in the 2000-01 season when the Panthers won the second of their record four consecutive big school state titles under legendary coach Darryl Burrows.
Steve Allen, a 6-11 center on the Panthers' back-to-back state title teams (2000-2001) who played for Clemson, and business partner of McSweeney with Kingdom Training, has accepted the lead assistant position.
"Calvary won six games last year so whether we win 10, 15 or 20 games next season, we want the kids to develop and be the best they can be." McSweeney. "Obviously, coaching is going to be new to Steve and I, but we have a lot of experience from playing at a high level in high school and college, and we are used to developing guys."
McSweeney said his first foray as a head coach will be helped with insight from Michael Lombardi, an assistant with the Boston Celtics who coached McSweeney at Penn State, and Burrows.
McSweeney's hiring adds to an already diverse resume that includes actor, motivational speaker, professional trainer and author of "From the Pit to the Palace", which chronicles McSweeney's well-traveled career from Cardinal Gibbons, Dillard, St. Thomas More Prep (Conn), which he led to a 29-1 record in 2001-02, Towson State, Penn State and professional basketball.

The 2011 Tour de France continues early Wednesday morning as the fifth stage of the race -- Carhaix to Cap Frehel -- gets underway. Versus will begin broadcast of the competition at 7:30 a.m. EDT.
The fifth stage is a 164.49 km trek north from the western metropolis of Carhaix to Cap Frehel. Built by the Romans over 2,000 years ago, Carhaix is considered one of France's oldest cities, and sits directly between the Montagne Noires - also known as the Black Mountains - and the Monts d'Arrée. As the riders make their way to Cap Frehel, they will travel from an elevation of 293 meters to one of just two meters. A course comprised of steep cliffs against a backdrop of lush wilderness await the leaders as they close in on their destination.
A replay of stage five will be broadcast on Versus at 12 p.m., 2:30 p.m., 8 p.m. and 12 a.m. Versus will also continue coverage and analysis of the 2011 Tour de France throughout the day, including a pre-race show scheduled at 7 a.m.

Come Friday next, it will be the 50th anniversary of the day that President John F. Kennedy was assassinated. Half a century. That's what we've had to get accustomed to this idea. And so much has been written, so much thought given to the event and the consequences that one would think that everything there is to say has been said.
But after all this time, after all the "Where were you whens?" and "What I was doing when I heards," we need to remember that there are two generations who have no such memories, only questions. Those questions reflect an essential lesson of history, which is — in Shakespeare's words — "What's past is prologue."
Some of what we have become as a society and a nation began that morning in Dallas. We remember. We listen to those who remember. And we learn.
If you are John Purroy, your memories are typed in purple ink on scraps of yellow paper that your wife, Teresa de la O, found in a manila folder that had spent several years in a storage unit.
John, a retired reporter and editor for The Press Democrat, was working the wire desk that morning. His mementoes are a few of the scores of teletypes received from the wire services that day. The most dramatic among them has just three words:
Beside it, written in pencil, in an editor's scrawl, the letter B — for bulletin, the "hold-everything" term that set the bells ringing on the Teletype machines.
Diane Morgan, then a young reporter, remembers Purroy's ashen look. She also recalls that the news editor, Dick Torkelson, took the paper from his hand and said, "Bulletin, hell! We've gotta hold the press!"
It was just the first of many press stoppages that day. The PD was an afternoon paper then and the front page already was in type when the first "SHOTS FIRED" message came through. It was replated many times before the day was done.

MANATEE -- The Manatee County School Board unanimously approved 2 percent salary increases for non-bargaining employees at a meeting Monday evening, despite concern over the cost.
The salary increase is the last of three pay raises presented in May, including raises for teachers in the Manatee Education Association and janitors, bus drivers and food services workers in the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees.
The raise is for all employees not represented by a union, except for senior leadership. The raise includes district employees such as school secretaries.
While the pay raise passed in a 5-0 vote, school board member Bob Gause said he is concerned they will cost the district $860,433.
"If it is an unbudgeted expense, I am concerned about the district's ability to pay for it," Gause said. "I am looking for reassurance. Is it not in our budget yet?"
Deputy superintendent of operations Don Hall said the pay raises are in the budget.
"As other things come up, we will make changes and shifts in the budgets," Hall said. "We will do everything we can to watch the cost."
Between the sale of the Owens Annex property for $2.07 million and the surplus property at the former Ellenton School and the Parent Information Center, the district is anticipating bringing in $3.9 million more for its general fund.
However, Dave "Watchdog" Miner said last week the estimates might be "premature."
The school board also unanimously approved hiring two new employees in the district's finance department.
Heather Jenkins will join as the district budget director, and Thomas Crosby is the new director of finance.
Jenkins now works as director of administration in the division of culture and history for West Virginia. She previously served in West Virginia's auditor's office.
Crosby has been director of facilities for the Marion County School Board since July. He was the chief financial officer for the Lake County School Board in 2005-06.
Jenkins and Crosby will start the third week of October. Crosby's salary is $95,092 and Jenkins' salary is $84,438.
Calls to Jenkins and Crosby were not immediately returned.

Are bipolar and borderline personality disorder related? Borderline personality disorder (BPD) has been a controversial diagnosis since it was first recognized in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders in 1980. One controversy that still has not been resolved is whether BPD is actually just a variation of bipolar disorder.
How are Bipolar and Borderline Personality Disorder Similar?
The primary reason that some experts have proposed that BPD and bipolar disorder may be related is that they share the common feature of mood instability. Bipolar disorder is associated with mood shifts from depression to mania (a mood characterized by elation, decreased need for sleep, and an increase in activity) or hypomania (which is similar to mania but less severe). BPD is also associated with mood changes (sometimes called "emotion dysregulation" or affective instability). People with BPD can frequently change from feeling fine to feeling extremely distressed in a matter of minutes. Impulsive behavior is also frequently experienced both by people with bipolar disorder and by people with BPD.
How are Bipolar and Borderline Personality Disorder Different?
What is the difference between BPD and bipolar disorder, then? Some major components separate the two. While the disorders are both characterized by mood changes, the quality of the mood changes can be very different. In BPD, mood changes are often more short-lived -- they may last for a few hours at a time. In contrast, mood changes in bipolar disorder tend to last for days or even weeks. Also, mood shifts in BPD are usually in reaction to an environmental stressor (such as an argument with a loved one), whereas mood shifts in bipolar disorder may occur out-of-the-blue. Finally, the mood shifts typical of BPD rarely involve elation -- usually the shift is from feeling upset to feeling "OK," not from feeling bad to feeling a high or elevated mood, which is more typical of bipolar disorder.
Are Bipolar and Borderline Personality Disorder Related?
Although it is not yet clear-cut, research has not found a strong relationship between BPD and bipolar disorder. There is some evidence that people with BPD are diagnosed with bipolar disorder at higher rates than individuals with other personality disorders. One study found that about 20% of individuals with BPD are also diagnosed with bipolar disorder, whereas only about 10% of people with with other personality disorders are also diagnosed with bipolar disorder. This could mean there is some relationship between BPD and bipolar, but it could also be attributed to imprecision in diagnosis, or in the individuals making the diagnosis.
Bipolar and Borderline Personality Disorder: The Bottom Line
So far, there is not enough research to suggest that BPD and bipolar disorder are related. Although there are definitely some shared features, there are also some marked differences between BPD and bipolar disorder. Also, the co-occurrence of BPD and bipolar disorder is not large enough to suggest that the two disorders are related. However, more research is needed on this topic. It may be that future research, for example on the genetic and biological causes of BPD and bipolar disorder, may reveal some undiscovered elationships between the two conditions.

Rock…No Roll
Chevelle-I Get It
Key Water Sources Are Drying Up
This is some scary stuff. Watch out, Canada, oil isn't the only thing we are going to be invading countries for in the future. Water is becoming scarce. On a positive note…invest in water, it is about to become a huge industry.
I am amazed: since last summer, almost every day we see at least one news story on another water crisis in the U.S. The water crisis is no longer something that we know about as affecting developing countries or their poor in particular. It is right here in our own backyard. Today, in many parts of the U.S. we are nearing the limits of our water supplies. And that is getting our attention. The writing has been on the wall for some time. The private sector has been showing much interest in water as a source of profit, and water privatization has been an issue in many parts of the country.
The failure in public water systems has indeed been a contributing factor for this interest. In many cities, consumers have been organizing and opposing the privatization of water utilities, because they have been concerned about affordability or deterioration in the quality of service. Environmental organizations and consumer activists have also been concerned about the socio-economic, health and environmental implications of ever increasing bottled water use. But for most of us living in the U.S., water is something we take for granted, available when you turn your tap on — to brush your teeth, to take a shower, to wash your car, to water your lawn, and if you have your own swimming pool then, to fill that as well.
So it was with alarm that many of us read the story of Orme, a small town tucked away in the mountains of southern Tennessee that has become a recent symbol of the drought in the southeast. Orme has had to literally ration its water use, by collecting water for a few hours every day — an everyday experience in most developing countries, but unusual for the U.S. This is an extreme experience from the southeast region that has been under a year long dry spell. In fact, the region's dry spell resulted in the city of Atlanta setting severe water use restrictions and three states, Georgia, Florida and Alabama, going to court over a water allocation dispute (settled in favor of Florida and Alabama early last month).
Early this year we also heard that drought in the region could force nuclear reactor shut-downs. Nuclear reactors need billions of gallons of cooling water daily to operate, and in many of the lakes and rivers water levels are getting close to the limit set by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. It is possible in the coming months that we may see water levels decrease below the intake pipes, or that shallow water could become warmer and unusable as a coolant. While this may not cause blackouts, this can result in increased costs for energy as utilities have to buy from other sources.

Ferraro Plays the Race Card…the Reverse-Race Card…AND the Victim Card.
I am sure most of you have already heard Geraldine Ferraro's…unfortunate comments about Barrack Obama suggesting he is the beneficiary of political Affirmative Action. Today CNN had a comprehensive article about her comments.
"If Obama was a white man, he would not be in this position. And if he was a woman, he would not be in this position. He happens to be very lucky to be who he is. And the country is caught up in the concept."
Now, I am not black so I can't personally attest to the difficulties of being black but I have heard that it isn't an especially easy row to hoe, especially with those like Ferraro downplaying his accomplishments and totally misrepresenting the reasons people like him and vote for him, simply writing it off as a result of him being black.
Yesterday, Ferraro defended her comments to the Daily Breeze (a newspaper in Torrance, CA in Los Angelas County).
"Any time anybody does anything that in any way pulls this campaign down and says, 'Let's address reality and the problems we're facing in this world,' you're accused of being racist, so you have to shut up," she told the Daily Breeze of Torrance, California. "Racism works in two different directions. I really think they're attacking me because I'm white. How's that?"
She made an indefensible, racial comments and when called on it she now calls those who were wronged by these remarks racist. And this isn't the first time she has attacked an opponent with this tact, either. In 1988, Ferraro made similar remarks about Jesse Jackson. According to the Washington Post (via Ben Smith at Politico), she stated, "If Jesse Jackson were not black, he wouldn't be in the race." Sounds familiar, doesn't it? Will it be the same in 2028? When will a black person finally be able to run for president without her saying it is because they are black?
On the John Gibson show Ms. Ferraro said,
"I am very disappointed, when I see John Lewis, you know, he is turning around, this is a civil rights leader. Why is God's name did he change his vote from Hillary Clinton to Barack Obama…I'll tell you why. It's because he faces…he is not going to lose a Democratic Primary in his district in two years, but he sure as hell will face one if he sticks it to Barack Obama when he has a greater majority of blacks in his district. So, he is looking at…he is not going to lose, I am so disappointed in him I could die. I look at Rosa DeLauro, up in Connecticut. She represents New Haven. Tell me, I mean, I don't care what she says, tell me why she's endorsing Barack Obama and then came to his defense on an issue like choice, where he voted six times, maybe, when he voted present in Illi…I mean, I am like a lunatic about this stuff. I can't believe people are doing…so no, it is not coming down to…what I would hope is that…and because…and again you saw Chris Dodd today, I look at these guys doing it and I have to tell you, it's the guys sticking together, John. It is, you know…
John Gibson: Why isn't it not credible that they are doing it because Obama has a wave behind him and they don't want to be at odds with the voters who are picking Obama.
Ferraro: Except that they are the leaders, don't you get the story? I mean the thing is…
Gibson: Do you actually expect them to hand this nomination to Hillary?
Ferraro: No, I expect them to do, I expect them to look very carefully at who has the (experience? unintelligible)…John, between me and you and your millions of visito…listeners, if Barack Obama were a white man, would we be talking about this? As a potential real problem? For Hillary?
Gibson: (talking over Ferraro) You mean if he were John Edwards?
Ferraro: If he were a woman of any color, would he be in this position that he is in? Absolutely not.
Gibson: Geraldine, are you playing the race card?
Ferraro: No, and that is the problem. Every time you say the truth…I am the first person and John, you know how honest I am. I am the first person who will say in 1984 if my name were Gerard instead of Geraldine, I would never have been picked as the vice presidential candidate.
Ferraro is now defending herself (on the Gibson show and on Fox, where she is a political contributor, ahem), saying she is not a racist. I will give her the benefit of the doubt but clearly, from her comments to Gibson, she feels she, as well as Clinton are victims. It is Chris Dodd and the old boys club, it is all the black voters, it is the minority leadership. Everybody, it seems, is against them. Nobody has a good reason to vote for Obama over Clinton, apparently, and she is losing because he is black and she is a woman. The way I see it, Obama is winning because he has run a better, more efficient, more positive campaign, but that could just be me.
The International Longshore and Warehouse Workers need our support in their efforts.
In a major step for the U.S. labor movement, the International Longshore and Warehouse Union (ILWU) has announced that it will shut down West Coast ports on May 1, to demand an immediate end to the war and occupation in Iraq and Afghanistan and the withdrawal of U.S. troops from the Middle East. In a February 22 letter to AFL-CIO president John Sweeney, ILWU International president Robert McEllrath reported that at a recent coast-wide union meeting, "One of the resolutions adopted by caucus delegates called on longshore workers to stop work during the day shift on May 1, 2008 to express their opposition to the war in Iraq."
Hal Turner Hints at Assassination
This is some seriously scary stuff about loony Hal Turner; a vile, despicably racist white supremacist who unfortunately has a web and radio show and not surprisingly gets a lot of play on Fox News. This guy is not so subtly calling for the assassination of Clinton, McCain and especially Obama. Where is the Secret Service? There are rumors that he is an FBI mole but of course I can't confirm that. This is from Jesus' General, who has a lot more information on this guy.
Is THIS the type of guy you want running America? I Don't!
In fact, I'm starting to come to the realization that it may be up to a sole person, acting alone, to make certain this guy is never allowed to hold the most powerful office in the world. Sorry it may have to be that way, but it may.
Clinton the Feminist?
I think most of you, by now, know I dislike Hillary Clinton and her fake feminism. I am hoping her militants start deserting her after this wonderful nugget of political C-4 from MSNBC. I know it is music night but this article kind of ticked me off.
Sen. Hillary Clinton has declined to return $170,000 in campaign contributions from individuals at a company accused of widespread sexual harassment, and whose CEO is a disbarred lawyer with a criminal record, federal campaign records show.
The federal government has accused the Illinois management consulting firm, International Profit Associates, or IPA, of a brazen pattern of sexual harassment including "sexual assaults," "degrading anti-female language" and "obscene suggestions."
In a 2001 lawsuit full of lurid details, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission claims that 103 women employees at IPA were victimized for years. The civil case is ongoing, and IPA vigorously denies the allegations.
"This is by far, hands down, the worst case I've ever experienced," said Diane Smason, one of the EEOC lawyers handling the lawsuit. "Every woman there experienced sex harassment, they were part of a hostile work environment of sex harassment. And this occurred from the top down."
Islam-The Religion of Violence? Not So Much.
Ok, this is going to be very amateurish as I have never done this. This is a study on Muslim attitudes toward terrorism, specifically 9/11.
Religion is an important part of life for the overwhelming majority of Muslims, and if it were indeed the driver for radicalisation, this would be a serious issue."
But the study, which Gallup says surveyed a sample equivalent to 90 percent of the world's Muslims, showed that widespread religiosity "does not translate into widespread support for terrorism," said Mogahed, director of the Gallup Center for Muslim Studies.
About 93 percent of the world's 1.3 billion Muslims are moderates and only seven percent are politically radical, according to the poll, based on more than 50,000 interviews.
In majority Muslim countries, overwhelming majorities said religion was a very important part of their lives — 99 percent in Indonesia, 98 percent in Egypt, 95 percent in Pakistan.
But only seven percent of the billion Muslims surveyed — the radicals — condoned the attacks on the United States in 2001, the poll showed.
Moderate Muslims interviewed for the poll condemned the 9/11 attacks on New York and Washington because innocent lives were lost and civilians killed.

Thinking about illness, death and dying is something no one wants to do, and like Cara, Judy and Steve, family caregivers will most likely be the ones to sort through a digital legacy with or without a conversation. Planning for our digital assets can be a gift to ourselves and to those who grieve us, reducing the burden they will carry as they sort through our past and tell our story. Far surpassing any monetary value, our digital assets hold tremendous sentimental value for those who will find comfort and meaning from our cloud-based legacy.

ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) -- Marty Turco won for the first time in the NHL in more than 13 months with the help of a disallowed goal that would have tied it, and the Boston Bruins got second-period goals from Zdeno Chara and Benoit Pouliot less than 1 1/2 minutes apart to beat the Anaheim Ducks 3-2 on Sunday night.
Anaheim's Matt Beleskey beat Turco to the stick side with a wrist shot just inside the left post at 7:22 of the third period, but teammate Andrew Cogliano had both feet in the crease and was pressed up against Turco when the puck went in. NHL officials in Toronto examined replays and ruled no goal -- infuriating Ducks coach Bruce Boudreau, who had more than a few choice words for referee Rob Martel.
Brian Rolston then gave Boston a 3-1 lead, finishing off a 2-on-1 break with Chris Kelly by beating Jonas Hiller with a one-timer from the right circle with 6:54 to play. Anaheim's Lobomir Visnovsky completed the scoring with 2:29 left.
Turco, playing his third game with the Bruins, went the distance for the first time and made 25 saves for his first win since Feb. 1, 2011, when he stopped 29 shots in Chicago's 7-4 victory at Columbus. It was his 25th career win against Anaheim, one behind Evgeni Nabokov for the most against the Ducks.

For an Ashland City couple, it's the summer spectacle that never gets old - the sight and sound of the hummingbird.
Marriage often brings routine. And for 15 years now, Susan and Billy Noe know the drill that brings such a thrill.
"Drink coffee and watch the birds," Susan said.
Hummingbirds, lots of hummingbirds, pit stop here every year before flying farther south.
The Noes have 28 feeders for hundreds of hummers - mighty machines forever in motion.
"They fly backwards, upside down," she said, "and if they happen to buzz by you, you can feel the air from their wings. I think the sound is like them - very quick, very quick."
The birds must be spreading the word about Susan's place because every year more arrive, bypassing neighbors for this spot.
"Anyone that lives a half-mile from here has no hummingbirds. We know where they go. They come to your house (neighbors say)," Susan said.
Keeping them coming takes work, fresh water and, by late August, 200 pounds of sugar.
"It's so amazing they can do so much to be so little, but then you don't underestimate little people either," she said.
Susan is all of 5 feet tall.
"That's what I meant you don't underestimate little people," she said, laughing.
The hungry birds, en route to Central America, love the layover here every year. They'll wait on weather as long as it's warm before humming 'so long Ashland City.'
"Oh yeah, I don't want them to leave, I could have them here all year round," Susan said.

i am a newbie developing a J2ME software that has to send AT commands to a modem using the cell phone line. In order to do it I developed a J2SE application that was able to do that using javax.comm and conneting to COM3 (that is the port where my modem device was installed). Now i am tryng the following:
String ports = System.getProperty("microedition.commports");
CommConnection cc = (CommConnection)Connector.open("comm:com0;baudrate=19200;blocking=off");
int baudrate = cc.getBaudRate();
InputStream is = cc.openInputStream();
OutputStream os = cc.openOutputStream();
String strAtCommand = new String("ATDP9029/r");
I don´t know if this is the right way. Could someone help me ??

"Deathly Hallows: Part 1" Earned $24 Million for Midnight ShowsDH Film
Variety is reporting that the midnight box office results for "Deathly Hallows: Part 1" are $24 million:
Warner Bros. kicked off what likely will be a boffo opening weekend for "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1," launching the film at 3,700 midnight runs for a late-night take of $24 million.
Pic screened at a record-setting 238 domestic Imax screenings, contributing $1.4 million, which surpassed the company's previous $1 million midnight record holder "The Twilight Saga: Eclipse."
Overall, "Hallows" fell short of catching "Eclipse's" $30 million late-night record, though that film benefited from a more rabid young femme demo and a shorter runtime, as well as its less restrictive summer berth.
Warner will screen "Hallows" this weekend at 4,125 U.S. locations.

A daycare worker in Etowah County is facing child abuse charges after she allegedly slammed a child's head against a table.
Karen Lynn Rowland, 41, of Piedmont, was arrested Tuesday and charged with two counts of aggravated child abuse.
Deputies said Rowland screamed and cursed at two 4-year-old children before allegedly hitting one of them in the face with a folder and then slamming the other child's head down against the table. Authorities said the incidents were captured on video.
"I can't begin to imagine how anyone would consider hurting a child who has been entrusted to their care," stated Sheriff Todd Entrekin. "My office will continue to defend children and adults who are defenseless and will do our best to see that the abuser serves an appropriate sentence."
Rowland was booked into the Etowah County Detention Center and later released on a $10,000 property bond. Deputies continue to investigate.

An exploit for a previously unknown and currently unpatched vulnerability in Java is being used by cybercriminals to infect computers with malware, according to security researchers.
An independent malware researcher who uses the online moniker Kafeine reported the existence of the exploit "in the wild" -- being actively used in attacks -- on his blog on Thursday.
[ Security expert Roger A. Grimes offers a guided tour of the latest threats and explains what you can do to stop them in InfoWorld's "Fight Today's Malware" Shop Talk video and Malware Deep Dive Report. | Learn how to secure your systems with InfoWorld's Security Central newsletter. ]
Attackers are using such exploits to silently install malware on the computers of users who visit compromised websites, in what are known as drive-by download attacks.
The researcher is sharing samples of the exploit with security companies only. "This could be mayhem," he said. "I think it's better to make some noise about it."
"We can confirm that this is a new vulnerability," said Bogdan Botezatu, a senior e-threat analyst at antivirus vendor Bitdefender, via email. "We reproduced the exploitation mechanism on Java 1.7 Update 9 and Update 10. Other versions may be vulnerable as well, we're currently analyzing whether other older updates are vulnerable."
As far as Bitdefender's tests showed, the exploit is specific to Java 7, Botezatu said.
Researchers from security firm AlienVault also confirmed that the exploit works against a fully patched installation of Java 7. The exploit uses similar tricks to bypass Java security restrictions as a different Java exploit that was used by cybercriminals in August 2011, Jaime Blasco, manager of the AlienVault Labs, said Thursday in a blog post.
The exploit has already been added to the popular Blackhole exploit toolkit used by cybercriminals, as well as to Cool Exploit Kit, a more exclusive spin-off of Blackhole, Botezatu said. "Other reports mention that it has also made it in Redkit [a different exploit toolkit], but we can't confirm the information at the moment."
"I've seen samples from Cool EK [exploit kit] and Blackhole EK but it seems it has been also included into Nuclear Pack and Redkit," Jaime Blasco, manager of the AlienVault Labs, said via email. Blasco believes that an exploit will also be added to the popular open source Metasploit penetration testing tool soon, as happens with most zero-day exploits -- exploits for unpatched vulnerabilities.
Using packet captures for the traffic associated with the new Java exploit, Bitdefender researchers were able to trace back some attacks to Jan. 7. However, the company's researchers believe that the attacks probably started on Jan. 2 or 3, Botezatu said.
"The zero-day attack code that was spotted in the wild today is yet another instance of Java security vulnerabilities that stem from insecure implementation of the Java Reflection API," said Adam Gowdiak, the founder of Security Explorations, a Polish security company that specializes in Java vulnerability research.
