Author: Donald E. Wilkes, Jr., Professor of Law, University of Georgia School of Law.
Most of us are familiar with at least some of the imperishable and indestructible human rights protected under American constitutional law. While we may not understand the historical background or current judicial construction of the right to trial by jury, the right to counsel, the privilege against self-incrimination, or the right against unreasonable searches and seizures, almost all of us know that these rights do exist and that it is unconstitutional for the government to violate them. However, one of our constitutional rights, the right to due process of law, is
terra incognita
to most Americans, even though it is one of the most important constitutional rights and, indeed, is arguably
most important constitutional right.
There are two guaranties of due process in the U.S. Constitution. The Fifth Amendment's due process clause (ratified in 1791) provides that no person shall "be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law ..." This clause prohibits the federal government from violating the due process rights of individuals. The Fourteenth Amendment's due process clause (ratified in 1868) is worded similarly, and prohibits the various state governments from infringing on due process requirements. It provides that no "State [shall] deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law ..."
The right to due process of law, which historian Charles McIlwaine called "our greatest constitutional check upon arbitrary infringements of the liberty of the individual," originated in 1215 in Magna Carta, the fountainhead of liberty in Anglo-American history. In section 39, the law of the land clause of Magna Carta, England's tyrannical King John was forced by rebellious barons to promise that henceforth no free man would be arrested, imprisoned, dispossessed, outlawed, or banished "except by the legal judgment of his peers or by the law of the land." By the 14th century Magna Carta's term "law of the land" had been replaced by the synonymous term "due process of law." Thus, in 1354 Parliament declared that "no man ... shall be put out of land or tenement, or arrested or imprisoned, or disinherited, or put to death, without being brought in answer by due process of law." (Section 39 remains binding law in England; it is one of the few provisions of Magna Carta not subsequently repealed by Parliament.)
In the late 18th century, due process of law was elevated from statutory right to the exalted level of constitutional right. Between 1776 and 1789, 8 American states adopted a constitution with a law of the land clause. The first constitutional provision with a due process clause was the federal Bill of Rights, approved in 1791. In the United States, therefore, due process has been a constitutional right for over 200 years, and today almost every state constitution, including Georgia's, has either a due process clause or a law of the land clause.
As interpreted by federal and state courts, due process mandates fundamental fairness. When government agents investigate crime, when they prosecute or try someone for crime, or when (irrespective of whether any alleged crimes have been committed) government agents otherwise impinge upon an individual's freedom or property for any reason whatever, those agents must act in a fundamentally fair manner. In judicial proceedings between the government and individuals, fundamental fairness means that the individual must be given adequate notice of the proceedings and ample opportunity to be heard and present his or her side of the case, and that the court's judgment must be an impartial decision based on the evidence. Outside the courtroom, fundamental fairness means that the government must not engage in conduct that shocks the conscience or that violates elementary principles of liberty and justice. American courts have therefore definitively held that due process prohibits police from torturing or inflicting physical brutality upon citizens, and that a confession extracted by torture or violence is inadmissible in court, regardless of whether the confession is truthful. Because it bans torture, due process is an incalculable right of inestimable value. Due process makes barbarism by government unconstitutional.
The fairness required by due process of law is not static. What was fair a century ago may very well no longer be deemed fair today; and what is fair today may be deemed unfair in future times. Due process therefore provides a flexible, evolving standard of protection. As civilization progresses, as notions of humaneness and decency become more developed, due process offers increasing protections for the individual.
The establishment of the right to due process of law as a fundamental human right is one of the greatest achievements of Western society. The right to due process is, to paraphrase a U.S. Supreme Court justice, "one of the great landmarks in man's struggle to make himself civilized." It embodies the judgment that governmental interference with individuals must be constrained by basic notions of humanity and fair play. It repudiates the dangerous view that the conduct of those wielding the power of the state is to be judged according to a no-holds-barred approach.
Due process rights are, in the words of a Maine judge, among "our most cherished and most important possessions. ... They are what we live by and what we must continually fight for."

Anne Condran has been the executive director of AAF East Central Indiana since 2001. When she assumed this position, AAF-East Central Indiana was in dire need of continuity and leadership. Recognizing the challenge, Condran quickly led the Board of Directors in the arduous task of meeting its legal obligations, developing a mission statement, and revising the club's bylaws.
During the past nine years she has guided the board in moving the organization from a 'dying club' to a professional member trade association. In 2004, she helped establish the organization's first five-year strategic plan and a second plan in 2009. Condran was instrumental in developing the club's operational and financial policies, sponsorship packages, marketing initiatives, and an annual budget.
Today, through Condran's tireless efforts, AAF-East Central Indiana is a thriving organization. Membership has grown from 80 to 125. Her leadership and guidance has brought the organization local and national recognition. AAF-East Central Indiana is a shining star in the Muncie community. Since 2002 AAF-East Central Indiana has been recognized as the AAF Division 3 Club of the Year six times.
Condran's passion also flows to the AAF Chapter students at Ball State University. She helps to secure internships and employment for students throughout the country through her AAF networks. In 2009, the AAF-East Central Indiana board of directors named an annual scholarship in her honor to a student majoring in advertising at Ball State University.
Condran is also dedicated to the AAF district and national initiatives. Under her direction, AAF-East Central Indiana has hosted several district conferences. She has assured the success of the District 6 ADDY Awards Competition and Condran currently serves as Secretary/Treasurer of AAF District 6. She is an integral part of the AAF national executive director's network and has often served as a mentor to other executive directors in the AAF club network.
Condran's generosity and commitment extend beyond AAF. She has served on several civic boards and is an active volunteer at her church. She has also served on the local, area, and state Special Olympics committees and is a long-term volunteer and coach. In describing her mission statement she hopes to continue to break barriers for people with disabilities so they live, work, recreate and become fully integrated into their community.

If You Build It...
Richard Petty has been in the businesses of cars and speed since childhood. For over 60 years, as "The King" cultivated a career of unmatched excellence in NASCAR, his Level Cross, North Carolina garages and shops constructed some of the most legendary and well-engineered stockcars in the history of the sport.
When the team moved to Mooresville, North Carolina in December 2007, the Level Cross garages, once teeming with the energy of more than 200 employees, fell strangely silent.
New Era, Same Winning Tradition
In just a matter of months, "The King" set plans in motion for a new facility, and in June 2008, Petty's Garage was born. Restoration began on racecar chassis from Petty's private collection, which set abuzz the custom and collector car market.
The employees of Petty's Garage are currently bringing "The King's" winning tradition to a wide variety of high performance automobiles from production-based Richard Petty Signature Series Challengers to custom Dodge LX and LC chassis builds.
If you dream it, Petty's Garage can build it.
Beyond the Racetrack
Petty's Garage employees are more than racecar mechanics. Whether they view building, maintaining, and restoring performance cars as hobbies, second jobs, or simply a passion, the mechanics and engineers of Petty's Garage know what it takes to make a car great.
A Personal Touch
At Petty's Garage, building your dream is personal. This means that their work is always completed in-house. Whether the job requires heavy fabrication, welding, transmissions, gears, cut axels, hand fabrication, roll cages, custom floor pans, rear tubs, or custom paint, your vision begins and ends with the Petty's Garage team.
For more information on Petty's Garage and to see how "The King's" touch can transform your performance driving experience, contact http://www.pettys-garage.com/.

PEORIA, Ill. -- People on Peoria's South Side feel a sense of relief after hearing news about city funding that will impact their community.
On Tuesday, the Peoria City Council voted to pay $80,000 to fund the Bosch Supermarket Park Project, an initiative that provides fresh food and produce in food deserts across the city.
Many people in the community are happy about the funding, but still question what the money will be used for.
"Put it out here so we can see where the money is going," South Side resident Quintella Lavendar said.
The funding will go toward expanding the garden on Marquette and Western and adding more gardens around the area.
It will also pay for a food truck and driver that will help store and deliver food on the South Side and Peoria's public housing.
But most of all, members of Gifts in the Moment say the project will help bring health and harmony into the community.
"These community gardens have demonstrated an ability to bring communities together. Race, ethnicity and socioeconomic barriers are dropped," said Denise Urycki, Co-Director of Gifts in the Moment.
It's a plan that is finally coming to life for a community in need; a project that's restoring health and hope.

Big Brothers Big Sisters of Puget Sound is a true change agent, committed to providing an adult mentor for every child who needs or wants one. Mentoring is a proven strategy that changes how our children grow up in America by meeting critical needs of our region's children and engaging all levels of community. We help children build the attitudes and behaviors needed to stay in school, succeed academically, make healthy choices, and create promising futures. Big Brothers Big Sisters of Puget Sound is the largest mentoring organization in Washington State, serving 2,500 children in King, Pierce, and Kitsap counties. By matching children with adult mentors in one-to-one relationships, we transform the life of a child (a Little), transform the life of an adult (a Big) and together transform our schools, our neighborhoods and our communities for the better. www.bbbsps.org.
At the Y, strengthening community is our cause. We work side-by-side with our neighbors throughout King and south Snohomish counties to help kids and families thrive and apply their positive behaviors and goals at home, school, the workplace and beyond. The Y's mission is to build a community where all people, especially the young, are encouraged to develop their fullest potential in spirit, mind and body.

Since 1988, Treehouse has filled the gaps for kids in foster care, providing services that no other agency addresses: money for extra-curricular activities and summer camp, professional educational support services, resources to fully participate in the everyday activities of growing up, clothing and supplies to help them fit in at school. Treehouse's six core programs – Tutoring, Educational Advocacy, College and Career Planning, Little Wishes, Summer Camp and the Wearhouse – give foster children a real childhood as well as hope for the future. Treehouse programs offer kids in foster care what all children so desperately need: a safe place to dream. www.treehouse4kids.org
Girl Scouts is the world's pre-eminent organization dedicated solely to girls. Girl Scouts is, as it always has been, the organization best positioned to offer girls the tools they need to be successful leaders now and throughout their lives. We develop leaders who value diversity, inclusion, and collaboration and are committed to improving neighborhoods, communities and the world. Girl Scouts of Western Washington serves more than 26,000 girls throughout Western Washington with the assistance of over 12,000 adult volunteers. In Girl Scouts, girls design fun and challenging activities that empower them to discover their world, connect with others, and take action to make the world a better place. www.girlscoutsww.org.
There are over 190,000 state residents with intellectual disabilities (ID). They can still face sexual, mental, emotional abuse and neglect, and often suffer severe and chronic health problems. They have a 40 percent greater risk for preventable secondary health conditions such as obesity, poor fitness, nutritional deficits, untreated or poorly treated vision, dental, hearing and podiatric problems; and a shorter life expectancy. They often fall into lower income brackets due to high medical expenses and low earnings potential. These adults and children are especially hard hit during economic downturns, and often don't have a voice. Special Olympics Washington is more than just Summer Games, more than a child with Down syndrome crossing a finish line. We provide critical services no one else in the community does: free programs for those with intellectual disabilities--who often suffer severe and chronic health problems--so they may build motor skills, self-confidence, social skills, and skills to become more independent. Although our mainstay is our year-round sports training and competition programs in 16 different sports, we provide other services as well: free health screenings by doctors, early childhood intervention, leadership training, and programs for the severely impaired. www.sowa.org.

The songs easily get five out of five. But if you're reading this, chances are you already know all of the songs. The mix and the novelty of the DVD format gets four stars.
Sometimes it's a bit distracting hearing these songs in a way that differs from how I've heard them for the last 28 years. The mix is obviously different, and separating the channels so much makes for a different overall sound. But I enjoy it. The sound is clear, rich, and powerful. I wish that more DVD audio titles were available.

The other reviewers have gone out of their way to explain the feel of most of these songs.And for the most part they are right on.I just wanted to add ,that i think this is the best place for a newcomer to the Melvins ranks to start.I own or have heard pretty much everything they have done…and I think this is the perfect middle ground for the uninitiated.There are just enough hard sludge rockers here mixed with some of their more challenging and experimental material.Its obviously not a vast overview of what they do as a whole ,but I think it will give the listener a good idea of how "all over the musical map" these guys CAN be.Start here,go to "Houdini" for a slightly more commercial Melvins…then just strap yourself in for a musical ride of a lifetime with their other releases…
Metal Album Reviews[RSS]
Wow this is refreshing I don't have to dredge through all of the reviews professing that " LIMP DISKETTE ARE THE BEST BAND EVER!" or something like these guys suck because MTV doesn't play their videos. I have all of the Melvins albums and this one is probably my favorite, I don't know if it is their best but my favorite. I don't usually go into detail about certain aspects of songs or music. To me it is good or horsesh*t. That being said you can't go wrong with any of their records. I think for someone starting out this might be the one you want to get, so that you can kind of get the feel for how these guys like to create their own brand of music. Plus I think it has one of the more accesible songs in REVOLVE. Don't get me wrong I fu*king love the track but it is probably one of their most radio friendly songs. Ofcourse I have never heard it on the radio. Don't know if that's good or bad, guess that is for another discussion!
i was given this album because the person who had it just got it because they were one of curt cobain's favorite bands,and after a few listens they couldn't get into it.these guys are what sludge/grunge is all about!if you like sabbath,mastadon,patton,almost anything with a hint of rock,ambient,and humor get into the melvins while they're still making albums!!!
The basis for the Melvins' career has been the simple principle: "we don't give a fxxx what anybody thinks". Indeed, Buzzo and company make music that is totally outside the confines of mainstream thinking, ranging from unholy sludge to soothing ambience. Their early work was largely responsible for the "grunge" movement, and in the 90s, Atlantic records decided to take a gamble with them. The notion of the Melvins – underground legends – on a major label is sort of amusing, but 94's Stoner Witch is ANYTHING but commercially palatable. Pinpointing the Melvins style is an impossible task, for they shift genres with every song and album. Their stylo is downtuned, jagged riffs in complex signatures… imagine a severely scratched up copy of Symptom of the Universe… topped off with Buzz Osbourne's insane growls. The first 4 songs on Stoner Witch reveal the Melvins' more upbeat, thrashy side, particularly Revolve, their shining hour and most metal tune, IMO. Songs like Roadbull are nearly impossibly complex and twisted, while At the Stake is abysmally slow and droning sludge. Perhaps my favorite song on the record (behind revolve) is Shevil, a long, meandering and ambient trip that kind of demands bong usage. If you're looking for something more diverse and intelligent than the average metal band, pick this shizzy up fo sho. Word.
Reading various Melvins reviews, it is clear there is great fan support, but god only knows what they're driving at. Hopefully this review will make clearer why people get so excited about the Melvins.Stonerwitch isn't a bad place to start for the Melvins. Get the song "Cow" (from Bullhead), and you can hear about 80% of the Melvins thing in one song. Get "Gluey Porch Treatments" (their first album) because it is the birth of all grunge and one of the Melvins' greatest. My personal favorite is "Honky" — an amazing, difficult and fascinating thing. But, on to the album.Stonerwitch starts with typical Melvins: a big thumpy peal of drums from Dale (easily one of the most underrated indie drummers), and then a huge blast of Buzz's fuzzed out guitar. A spazzy guitar line works through all the noise, and then Buzz begins growl-howling his way through impossible-to-decipher lyrics. There's a jagged, feedback guitar "solo", some big crunchy chords, and it's over – 72 seconds.The next song, "Queen", justifies buying the disc — a very heavy, downtempo thing, with Buzz howling at his absolute best on vocals and guitar. Download this song from somewhere — description can't do it justice. This is one of those songs that gives proof to Nirvana's claim that they were heavily influenced by the Melvins (notwithstanding that Dale played drums on some of Nirvana's first album)."Sweet Willy Rollbar" is an 88 second, uptempo song that shows some of the thrash sensibility that is everpresent throughout the Melvins, as well as their commonly off-meter time signatures."Revolve" was probably meant as the single for this Atlantic release (the Melvins managed to be major label for a bit befroe being dropped). Catchy-heavy guitar-bass, mid-range vocal growls, and natty drumwork — very satisfying all the way around."Goose Freight Train", by contrast, is utterly anti-hit and totally not what you expect given the first four tracks. The bass and drums of this song remind me of toned-down Tom Waits' Bone Machine, with Buzz singing in a dreamy, stoned-sounding voice things like, "Let the glory boy of Mister Henry have it on rye.""Roadbull" begins as you have been led to expect — the big, heavy Melvins sound, which cuts to a non-distorted thing and then back to the heavy guitars (Nirvana fans will recognize Cobain's compositional style here). Suddenly, though, Dale is playing a military riff on his snare and someone is whistling the vocal line, like we're suddenly marching with the Confederate army. The switch is neither pointless or ineffective, and the surprise of it is very typical of the Melvins. The song fades out to this."At the Stake" is a long (almost 8 minutes), heavy drone of a thing. Prog-punk meets stoner-metal….I don't know how else to describe it. Some might find it demanding on their patience."Magic Pig Detective", by contrast, will totally try your patience — the first 3 and a half minutes are nothing but spaced out guitar atmospherics/noise. People applaud Radiodhead for musical daring and innovation — they really should hear this major label 1994 release; Radiohead will no longer seem so revolutionary. The last two minutes of the song revert to typical Melvins, with a driving metal line. The interest here is that Buzz combined the two sections into one song — and they do actually work together."Shevil" is a very atmospheric, relaxed, bass-driven song with light drums. It drones and meanders along for 6 and a half minutes. It's tension largely arises because, by now, you're expecting the big blast of guitars and drums….but they never come."June Bug" totally dispels the mood of "Shevil", opening with a fast drum and bass line that suggests thrash-punk to come, but instead a chirpy little guitar line comes along — very witty and unexpected, followed by the blast of guitars. Honestly, when you follow the logic of how Buzz puts his songs together, it's difficult not to be impressed by his wit, sensibility and sense of drama.The last track, "Lividity", is an enormous 9 minute instrumental. A single guitar note lingers, while a very slow, richly harmonic bass line repeats itself for more than 3 minutes before slow drum crashes intrude on the mood. Around 5 minutes, occasional voices are heard in the background, and the sustained guitar note begins to be tweaked with (variations in volume mostly). All the additions trail away at eight minutes, and suddenly even the bass line vanishes, to be filled with a swelling hiss of white noise. Then Buzz declares in an emphesymic wheeze, "What do you mean? My lungs are fine", and the album is over.Just like that.

A Cave Creek man has been convicted of manufacturing and distributing designer drugs disguised as bath salts or household cleaning items.
Federal prosecutors say 51-year-old Michael Rocky Lane faces up to 20 years in prison and-or a $1 million fine when he's sentenced on Oct. 21.
Authorities say Lane and another man began manufacturing a designer drug that contained a powerful stimulant in early 2011 but was labeled as a bath salt. It was later relabeled as an "ultra-premium glass cleaner."
Lane then allegedly manufactured other designer drugs that were labeled as insect attractants or "exuberance powder."
Authorities say Lane made nearly $8,000 a day from domestic Internet sales of his products to individual customers alone.
He was arrested after federal authorities served search warrants on his company in Tempe.

The daughter of the man who police say shot his wife and stepson last week in Marion County is speaking out, blaming the U.S. Marshals Service for the desperate actions Paul Dome is believed to have taken last week.
"People need to know what happened, what transpired, what led up to these events," Taylor says, and how he was done wrong by the U.S. Marshals."
In an exclusive interview with KSLA News 12, Taylor confirms rumors that the man known as Paul Dome is in fact Clarence Crouch, a former Hell's Angel and convicted killer who turned state's witness in a fellow Hell's Angel's murder trial in the early 80s. "My father had a very troubled past," says Taylor. "He did things that he was not proud of, I'm not proud of."
Jackee Taylor says she and her whole family have spent the past three decades in the Federal Witness Protection Program, which is operated by the U.S. Marshals Service. "You know, people think that we get money and put places and we have this wonderful new life. That's not the case at all. I was put on the program when I was 7 years old. I had no rights, I signed no papers, and I'm just in constant turmoil in my life, because I have no identity." She says that's because the U.S. Marshals Service has not been responsive to requests for help in obtaining the proper paperwork. It's that alleged lack of response that drove her father, disabled by osteoarthritis and other painful ailments, to the edge.
Dome is believed to have shot his 85-year-old wife Vivian and her 61-year-old stepson Willard in their home on June 10 before setting it on fire and turning a gun on himself. Taylor says her father was in pain and at the end of his rope. "His wife was 85 years old, legally blind, she was also taking care of her terminally ill son who had brain cancer, so he didn't have very long to live. My father was trying to take care of both of them, and in his horrible physical condition was trying to maintain this entire household while not receiving medical attention. How long can a person do that?"
The U.S. Marshals Service has declined a request for comment on the case, and referred us instead to a fact sheet provided online about the Federal Witness Protection Program. That fact sheet says that "Witnesses receive financial assistance for housing, subsistence for basic living expenses and medical care. Job training and employment assistance may also be provided." But Taylor says that didn't happen. "He could not receive Social Security, Medicare, disability. They provided him with no records of his past."
She showed us copies of letters she says her father sent to the U.S. Marshals Service, asking for help. "Everything he requested, I have it all right here. I have copies of everything." Those letters, and piles of other documents, were left in a truck Taylor says Dome made sure she would get after his death. Those requests for help, she says, went unanswered. "He could not receive Social Security, Medicare, disability. They provided him with no records of his past."
She says it's happened to her, too. "I've come out in recent years because of problems that I've had not being able to obtain a passport a birth certificate, I can't go back to college, I can't leave the country, I can't get a marriage license." Most recently, she says she was hung up on after asking for assistance in cremating her father. "They laughed in my face and hung up on me. Well, he said 'Good luck with that' and hung up on me."
After telling her story to a Toledo newspaper in 2010, she says she began to hear from others who have struggled with similar problems as they tried to live their lives in the Federal Witness Protection Program. Among them, a young man who was placed into the program at the age of 9, who now can't go to college and is having trouble making ends meet. "I don't know how that kid gets out of bed in the morning. he's working as a musician because that's all he can do right now."
It's one of the reasons Taylor feels children should not be placed into the program. But in light of what has happened with her father, she says she is more motivated than ever to make sure his death, along with Vivian and Willard's, are not in vain. "This was a horrible tragedy that could have been prevented. If somebody would have done their job."
Larry Simpson, a longtime friend of Domes, says Dome revealed his past to him over the course of the more than 15 years they knew each other. Simpson says his friend was in constant pain, even as he continued to manage the RV park he and Vivian owned and operated. "He was totally, totally always in pain," Simpson says. Of Vivian, he says, "I know for a fact, he did love her."
As close to Paul Dome as he says he was, Simpson says he'll never know what prompted him to take his wife's life and the life of her son before taking his own. Reaction around town has been one of shock and sadness, as those who knew the family try to make sense of it. One thing his daughter feels for sure, is that "If he would have been receiving proper medical attention he would have been able to deal with this situation better, and I believe wholeheartedly this would have never happened." That's why she would like the see the program abolished altogether. "It's horribly flawed, and it's just a joke."
Taylor says she is considering her legal options, including filing a civil rights claim. "Absolutely. My civil rights have been violated for 25 years."
In spite of the fact that she has gone public with her identity, one thing she says she does not have the option of doing is to reclaim it. For that, she says she's been told she could be charged with fraud.
For now, she is concentrating on trying to tie up loose ends and making arrangements for her father's remains. She says there will be no memorial service, but his ashes will be spread in a place he loved.
The Marion County Sheriff's Office investigation continues, and they are still waiting on autopsies to confirm the victims' cause of death. But as far as local authorities are concerned, the man found shot to death apparently by his own hand remains identified by his Texas driver's license as Paul Dome.

Now that Lee County Manager Karen Hawes is stepping down, the cry to get the county's medical helicopter back in the air is once again gaining momentum.
It has been nine weeks since MEDSTAR was grounded, and the three people who made the decision are off the job.
The reality of Lee County without its own trauma helicopters flying has Commissioner Brian Bigelow worried that waiting too long could cost a life.
"I just do not want the blood of anyone in this county to be on my hands," Bigelow said at Tuesday's commission meeting.
Bigelow presented a motion to terminate Hawes' contract with cause, but the motion did not get a second. The other four commissioners went on to support Frank Mann's motion to request and accept Hawes' resignation.
Bigelow did not support Mann's proposal because he wanted Hawes off the job today. The approved agreement allows Hawes to continue through October 31.
With Hawes on her way out, today's discussion turned to MEDSTAR. Once again, citizens and EMS employees begged commissioners to reinstate MEDSTAR.
"I'm as anxious as you are to get it back up and running," Commissioner Tammy Hall responded to their calls for action. "I think we'll have it up and running in one form or another by end of December."
Bigelow wants to see action sooner.
"I don't understand why we can't get helicopters up this week," Bigelow said. With Hawes stepping down, he asked if the board could go around the county manager to make decisions about MEDSTAR's future.
Commissioners received letters of interest from private aviation firms last week. County staff will review and discuss those offers Wednesday morning.
The next public discussion will likely happen November 5, when commissioners examine their options at the Management & Planning meeting.
Commission Chairman John Manning says they will consider reinstating MEDSTAR, working out a public-private partnership, and options for privatizing the program.

A lawsuit sparked several projects by both PennDOT and the city of Erie, to make sidewalks more accessible for people with disabilities.
Now PennDOT's six year project is nearing completion.
Getting around Erie is something most people don't think twice about, but for those in wheelchairs, it hasn't always been easy, or even possible.
"Communities are set up for people who are able bodied, and we want those we serve, people with disabilities, to be able to have ill access to the community and to go places and do things that able bodies people can do," said Bob Bach, who works for Voices for Independence.
VFI works to secure the rights of those with disabilities. Their concern lead to a lawsuit in 2006, against PennDOT.
Since then, the Department of Transportation has worked endlessly to rise to the call.
"We've been working on curb ramps for over six years now," said PennDOT's ADA Coordinator Bob Zarecky.
The projects around the city may be a temporary inconvenience for pedestrians, but they're ultimately giving freedom and independence to people with disabilities.
"There was a time in downtown Erie when curb cuts didn't exist and you could live in the Boston Store and come out and go no more than the front door front step fort curb," said Bach, "and then you couldn't go two blocks and get a sandwich."
One of PennDOT's projects to address the problem is taking on curb cuts down all of Peach Street.
"At this point we've probably done anywhere between forty and fifty curb ramps on Peach Street," said PennDOT Project Supervisor John Murcavage. "At this point we have at least 80 to 100 more left."
It's just part of region wide project that spans Erie, Millcreek and Meadville.
The two current projects in Erie are adding hundreds more.
"Between those two projects there's approximately 610 curb ramps," said Zarecky.
"Those curb cuts are much better now and there's more access downtown, there's still a lot of work to be done but at the same time we want the people we represent to be able to have full active access to the community," said Bach.
PennDOT's complete curb cut project is set to be done by December 31st of this year.

The Susquehanna River Initiative (SRI) is a major program of the Bucknell University Environmental Center (BUEC) to integrate research, teaching, and outreach focused on the Susquehanna River. The development of this initiative is largely funded by the Henry Luce Foundation.
The largest non-navigable river in North America, the Susquehanna is the major source of fresh water to the continent's largest estuary, the Chesapeake Bay. The health of the bay ecosystem is intimately linked to the land use and natural hydrogeomorphic processes upstream in the watershed. Located in the heart of the Appalachian forests and farmlands, Bucknell is ideally situated on the banks of the river to take a leadership role in long-term studies of the river.

A- nearly opaque, deep dark brown color. Dissipating light tan head, minimal lacing on glass
S- MALT!!! Faint floral hop aroma.
T- Rich, chocolaty, malt forward with noticeable hop bitterness note on the back end to balance the richness. No astringency.
M- Wow, this puppy is smooth...What is that? Velvet?
First thoughts, wow this thing is dark for an Alt which in my opinion is a style of beer that often goes overlooked here in the states. The only thing I am sitting here wondering about is if Victor's Memoriale is really an Altbier, why did I get so much yeast flocculated in the dregs of the bottle? Enough nitpicking though, this beer is delicious and deceptively strong...really creeps up on you with that last sip.

Appearance: Pours brown to dark brown…nice tan khaki head, a good inch wide…long lasting too, I might add…tons of good carbonation with this ale…(4.25/5)
Smell: Initially there isn't too much smell happening…most likely because of the awesome head that sticking around…even after head recedes, there isn't too much aroma…fruity and malty scents in there if I really dig my nose all up in there…(3.5/5)
Taste: Nice, smooth roasted malts…there's an earthiness to it…hops shows halfway through and does a fantastic balancing job…piney and mildly bitter after taste…there seems to be a smidge of chocolate, cherry and creamy flavors in there as well….(4.25/5)
Mouthfeel: Great carbonation…fluffs up real nice and settles well on the palette…no bitterness or over-maltiness here…flavor and feel doesn't last long…sorta entices the mouth for another sip…(3.75/5)
Overall: Two Brothers does it again…this is a great ale…the flavor is dynamic and well rounded…I know that there's a bit higher ABV here, but it's not overly dominate like some in this range…malts and hops balance so nicely…this beer is absolutely perfect while watching Tom Brady do his thing versus, well, anybody…great beer, hope I find another before it's gone…(4/5)

I had this on-tap at Hackney's in the Printer's Row area of Chicago.
Served in a pint glass.
A: Poured a dark brown, damn near black color (or at much, much darker than I was expecting), with some ruby slivers poking around the edges. The finger or so sticky, mocha head made my day.
S: The caramel delectableness made this totally special, along with the whole wheat toast and Rolo candy fumes. Very inviting indeed!
T: Wow, what full complex flavor! Caramel nougat, lactose, with a sort of candy coated booze that let you know this was a high octane brew with a flavor-infused purpose. I would best describe this as a cross between a Wee Heavy and a milk stout.
M: Thick, chewy, and sticky, without being cloying in the least. The carbonation level was spot on and the lacing was mildly splotchy.
O: Consistent from start to finish. This was truly one of the highlights of my holiday vacation, therefore, I went next door to a local wine shop and grabbed a bottle to bring back to DC to share at a future tasting.

Looks good enough in low light. Guessing mahogany, and definitely red highlights. Nothing exceptional otherwise.
Not a whole lot going on in the nose. What I get is faint and nearly benign. A little grainy and a little malty. Not much else.
Not bold or complex, but well balanced. It tastes grainy, malty sweet and has faint bitterness that mainly balances.
Low/medium carbonation, medium body, clean finish.
I haven't explored the altbier style much, so thought I'd give this one a go. It is smooth, balanced, easy drinking and has some flavor. I think it is pretty well to-style. It is definitely not complex or boundary pushing. But it is a tasty, balanced, well made beer.

Pours a thick, dense, light-tan head. Aroma is sweet malt, floral hops, and a slight touch of acidity. Deep burnt umber color. Starts off with sweet malt which quickly is blended with a warming booziness as the hops start to come out in the middle. Peaks into a medium-low bitterness with a short burst of floral notes as a toastier malt character comes in for the finish which lingers with toasted malt and hop.
This is pretty well balanced. It's very pleasant. I'm maybe not the biggest fan of the style, and I find the explicitness of the booze character to not agree with my palate, though the hop/malt combination is very well done.
As it warms, the toasted malt character becomes more dominant, to its advantage.

From: Binny's, Schaumburg, IL
Date: None listed, arrived on shelves around early October
Glass: Ayinger willi glass
Two Brothers' Victor's Altbier finds itself a dark and toasted version of the style that lands itself in "sticke" territory. With a very nice expressive aroma and taste that features toasted bread and nuts, a bit of cocoa, and some nicely bittering European hops. Would definitely get again and would appreciate this being a seasonal or rotating release.
Pours a moderately dark tan, 2cm head of small to medium-sized bubbles, quite dense, producing quite a thick head. Head gradually falls to a thick ring around the glass Lacing is present, somewhat modest, small spheres of foam sticking to the sides of the glass and a few lines. Body is a very dark brown color, nearly opaque, with light bringing out orange-amber hues. Carbonation is not visible, but clearly present in supporting the head.
Aroma is of darkly toasted brown bread, toasted walnuts and hazelnuts, slight black tea, very faint herbal European hops, and general thick, malty sweetness. Overall impression is of toasted bread and nuts with some minor complexity added by the hops and tea scents.
Taste is influenced by the toasted walnuts and hazelnuts meeting modest cocoa. Front of palate picks up toasted dark bread and nuts, cocoa, even a bit of coffee and marshmallow. Mid-palate features these flavors alongside spicy European hops and tannins as from black tea. Back of palate continues spicy European hops alongside decreased toasted bread, nut, and cocoa presence. Lingering aftertastes of toasted bread and nuts, cocoa, even a bit of marshmallow: not a stout, but a heavy German-style brown ale that veers towards one.
Beer is medium to medium-heavy in body, with moderate to moderate-light carbonation. The resulting mouthfeel is smooth and creamy, with just enough carbonic pep to make this move across the palate smoothly and easily. Closes rather dry, with substantial stickiness around the lips.

Dear Executive Director Donald M. Fehr:
Dear Executive Director Donald M. Fehr:
It has now been more than ten years since the death of Curt Flood. Many of us, baseball fans and fans of Curt Flood in particular, were hoping that the 10th anniversary of his passing would bring with it a broader recognition of his contributions to Major League Baseball as well as his entrance into the Baseball Hall of Fame. While Flood's memory and contributions did garner broader attention, he was no closer to entering the Hall of Fame than on the day he passed away.
We, who honor the memory and contributions of Flood, recognize that his brave struggle to end the notorious 'reserve clause' and bring about 'free agency' could not have happened had it not been for the active support of the Players' Association. For that we will always be in your debt.
Nevertheless we are at a moment when more is needed from your association. We need the Players' Association to help lead a campaign to get Curt Flood into the Hall of Fame. We need your association to stand up to the owners and their media allies and insist that today's baseball might very well look quite different had it not been for the stand of that player from the St. Louis Cardinals, Curt Flood.
We realize that the Players' Association, for understandable reasons, does not take positions on who should go into the Hall of Fame. While in general this makes perfect sense, in the case of Curt Flood it entirely misses the mark. Not only was Curt Flood an outstanding player, but more than anything he was prepared to take a stand when others suggested silence, if not complicity with the wretched system of the reserve clause.
Emerging out of the Black American experience with injustice, Curt Flood took a stand on behalf of the players, be they Black, White, or Latino (and now Asian). He did not have to take such a stand. He could have meekly accepted the trade to the Philadelphia Phillies and, quite probably, have lived a fairly comfortable life. Nevertheless, he decided that the time had come to take a stand; and he did so with the support of your Association. That stand cost him a great deal, including friends, family, his career, and quite probably, years on his life.
We need you to step forward and insist that the time has come to right a great wrong. Curt Flood must be honorably admitted into the Baseball Hall of Fame and recognized not only for his outstanding abilities, but for his contribution to the sport of baseball.
In solidarity,
Bill Fletcher, Jr., Executive Editor The Black Commentator

INDIANAPOLIS — The 500 Festival recently announced attendees of the 10th annual Regions 500 Festival Snakepit Ball, presented by Cindy and Paul Skjodt, will be rocking to the music of British-American rock band Foreigner.
With a career spanning five decades, Foreigner has sold more than 70 million albums in the United States including nine Top 10 and 16 Top 30 hits. They have performed for millions of devoted fans all over the world and will now entertain guests at the May 25 gala, the eve of the 2013 Indianapolis 500.
Foreigner has dominated the music charts with hits including "I Want to Know What Love is," "Double Vision," "Hot Blooded," "Feels Like the First Time," "Cold As Ice," "Head Games," "Juke Box Hero," and many more. The band was named No. 49 on Billboard's Hot 100 All Time Top Artists Chart.
Foreigner's mix of rock, blues, and pop continues to captivate generation after generation of music fans. Comprising the band's lineup are founder-lead guitarist Mick Jones, lead vocalist Kelly Hansen, bass guitarist Jeff Pilson, multi-instrumentalist Tom Gimbel, keyboardist Michael Bluestein, and drummer Mark Schulman.
The band was originally formed in 1976, in the heyday of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway's infield known affectionately as the Snake Pit, due to the overall Mardi Gras-esque atmosphere.
Taking place in the Indiana Roof Ballroom, the Snakepit Ball has become a race-eve tradition. Known as the place to see the stars, the black-tie event includes red carpet arrivals by celebrities in town for race weekend and special VIP guests. Dinner and dancing will round out the celebration. The Snakepit Ball will begin at 6 p.m. with celebrity and guest arrivals; followed by dinner at 7 p.m.
Tickets will be available by calling 614-6129 and are $275 per person. Corporate tables may be reserved when purchasing tickets.

Merchants and residents packed the Northern Essex Community College sports and fitness center for last week's Cross Border Expo.
The fourth-annual event, presented by the Greater Haverhill and Greater Salem, N.H. chambers of commerce, featured 100 vendors representing businesses across the region.
A pro-sports theme marked the event, with Rene Rancourt, known for singing the national anthem before Boston Bruins games, belting out the song to the applause of visitors. Bruins great Terry O'Reilly also attended and had a meet-and-greet with visitors.
Singer Liz Bills of Haverhill, a former contestant on "American Idol,'' performed for the crowd.
Expo organizers also gave away a cruise and other raffle prizes. Pentucket Bank was the event's major sponsor.

Droid is a font family first released in 2007 and created by Ascender Corporation for use by the Open Handset Alliance platform Android[1] and licensed under the Apache License. The fonts are intended for use on the small screens of mobile handsets and were designed by Steve Matteson of Ascender Corporation. The name was derived from the Open Handset Alliance platform name Android.
The Droid font family consists of Droid Sans, Droid Sans Mono and Droid Serif:
- The Droid Sans typeface consists of Regular and Bold fonts. Droid Sans regular font includes support for Simplified and Traditional Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Arabic, Armenian, Ethiopic, Georgian, Hebrew, and Thai support for the GB2312, Big 5, JIS X0208 and KSC 5601 character sets respectively which the design style for all the Ideographs are using the Simplified Chinese writing style. There is no italic variant of Droid Sans; however, it is present in its derivative, the very similar Open Sans.
- The Droid Sans Mono typeface consists of only the Regular font. The design is similar to Matteson's closed source Andalé Mono typeface design. Taking advantage of the license under which the original typefaces were released, modifications of this Droid Sans Mono have appeared on the internet. Of particular note are those modifications that replace the plain zero glyph with dotted or slashed versions. Such modifications are particularly desired by users making heavy use of monospaced typefaces, including software developers, because they provide a more prominent differentiation between the two characters.
- The Droid Serif typeface consists of Regular, Bold, Italic and Bold Italic fonts.
Each typeface has an extensive character set including coverage of Western European, Eastern/Central European, Baltic, Cyrillic, Greek and Turkish languages.
Droid Pro (2009)[edit]
In 12 February 2009, Ascender Corporation announced the retail version of the Droid fonts under the Droid Pro family. The fonts were sold in OpenType and TrueType font format.
The planned Droid Pro family consists of Droid Sans Pro (Regular, Bold), Droid Sans Pro Condensed (Regular, Bold), Droid Sans Pro Mono (Regular, Bold), Droid Serif Pro (Regular, Italic, Bold, Bold Italic), Droid Sans Fallback. Initial releases include Droid Sans Pro, Droid Serif Pro. OpenType features include Old Style Figures.
Droid Sans Fallback is a font with CJK support.
Droid Sans Pro Mono went on sale beginning in 2009-07-31.
Handset Condensed (2010)[edit]
Released on 2010-03-01, it is a condensed version of Droid Sans Pro designed by Ascender Corp's Steve Matteson to be compatible with the Droid family of fonts, but without OpenType features.
The family includes 2 fonts in 2 weights (Regular, Bold) without italics. It supports WGL character set.
Droid Arabic Naskh & Kufi (2010)[edit]
Droid Arabic Naskh & Kufi were designed in 2010 for use in Google products.[2]
Droid Naskh is an Arabic type designed in 2010 by 29 Arabic Letters foundry in collaboration with Ascender Corporation, with Arabic letters designed by Pascal Zoghbi and Latin letters designed by Steve Matteson from Ascender. Designed to complement the Latin, Greek and Cyrillic provided in the Droid Serif family, the Arabic matches the color, alignment and design detail of the Droid Serif allowing them to be used together for multilingual typesetting. This Naskh style is optimized for reading Arabic script on screen.
Droid Kufi was initially designed by Steve Matteson with Pascal Zoghbi as consultant on the design and create the final version of the font.
Droid Naskh was first shipped with Android 4.0.
