Adalius Thomas remains intriguing OLB option
By Brian Biggane
One has to wonder just how far the Dolphins are willing to go on their current course of revamping their defense with young players.
Miami passed up one chance to bring in a proven veteran in an area of need when New Orleans re-signed free safety Darren Sharper this past Monday. As of now, the Dolphins' candidates for that job are journeyman Tyrone Culver and a pair of youngsters: second-year man Chris Clemons and rookie Reshad Jones.
Another such opportunity is staring them in the face at outside linebacker, where Adalius Thomas remains a free agent nine days after being released by New England.
As Edgar Thompson wrote the day Thomas was released, Thomas has a history with defensive coordinator Mike Nolan, who is usually credited with turning Thomas into a force during the time they spent together in Baltimore from 2002-04. It was his production with the Ravens that translated into the five-year, $35 million deal Thomas signed with the Patriots in 2007. But Thomas and coach Bill Belichick clashed the last two years and Thomas' release early last week came as no surprise.
Now Thomas, 32, is out there awaiting offers while Miami heads toward training camp with the following group of OLBs: Cameron Wake, Koa Misi, Charlie Anderson, Quentin Moses, A.J. Edds and Chris McCoy.
Wake was strictly a situational player last year, Anderson and Moses have failed to produce when given the opportunity and Misi, while promising, figures to have some growing pains while making the transition from end to OLB.
Wouldn't it be nice to have one proven commodity in that role?
Even for his struggles of the past two seasons, each of which he finished with 34 tackles, it's tough to get past the fact that Thomas at least has proven he can do the job. That's not something that can be said about anyone else on the above list.

ABOARD AIR FORCE ONE (AP) — How important is it to get the NFL's regular referees back on the job? The White House calls it a great day for America.
Without prompting, President Barack Obama's spokesman on Thursday applauded news of a deal between the National Football League and the referees' union.
Jay Carney said, quote, "The president's very pleased that the two sides have come together," and he added, "It's a great day for America."
The underwhelming performance of replacement officials has drawn the ire of fans, players and politicians.
A blown call at the end of Monday's game cost the Green Bay Packers a win. Carney said the focus can now return to the games, not the officiating.
Republican Mitt Romney, campaigning in Virginia, was asked Thursday what he thought about referees coming back to work.
"I sure hope they do," Romney said, seemingly unsure that the dispute had been settled.

Morristown, N.J., (May 17, 2014) – Stormy skies parted in time for the Class of 2014 at the College of Saint Elizabeth to celebrate their accomplishments with family and friends during ceremonies on campus, Saturday, May 17, 2014. For this 112th Commencement at the College, more than 400 graduates received their degrees, including 237 undergraduates from the Women's College and adult undergraduate programs, 170 graduate students, and 12 doctoral students.
This graduation is the first under the administration of Dr. Helen J. Streubert, appointed president on July 1, 2013, and formally inaugurated on April 25, 2014.
"As I peruse the headlines of our daily newspapers, I am reminded of the great need for leadership in the world," Streubert told graduates and their families. "You, the women and men who have graduated today have been imbued with the ability to assume leadership in your homes, your workplaces, your communities, your churches and indeed this nation… Here at CSE, we facilitate learning with a focus on using that knowledge to lead – but we also teach our graduates how to live – to live full and vibrant lives which contribute significantly to the wellbeing of the people of God."
Sister Rosemary Moynihan, general superior of the Sisters of Charity and chair of the CSE board of trustees, also addressed the graduates. "Your significant contributions give evidence that our mission is alive in each one of you. We believe in you and we trust that you will go forth and make a difference in the world ... make life better for others."
This year's Commencement address, "The Five F's to Live By – Faith, Family, Friends, Fortitude and Fun" was given by Heidi J. Sorvino, J.D., a well-regarded lawyer with the firm of Hodgson Russ, New York, N.Y. Sorvino, who comes from a large, loving Catholic family, encouraged graduates to "be your biggest fan, embrace your family and friends ... have faith, be grateful for what you have, but most of all, this is not a dress rehearsal, have fun and go after your dreams."
She detailed some challenges from her own life – both personal and professional – and how she handled them with the help of family and friends. "If you take away anything from what I have said today, life is about how you bounce back," she concluded.
In recognition of her commitment to the practice of law and promoting women as full partners in the workplace, Sorvino with presented with the Doctor of Laws Degree, Honoris Causa.
Read Sorvino's Full Speech
The College also bestowed a Doctor of Humane Letters Degree, Honoris Causa, posthumously upon Sister Regina Martin Keane, SC, in recognition of her significant contributions to the advancement and support of education. She was a well-known educator in the state, having served as principal of Mother Seton High School in Clark, N.J., since 1975. Prior to that, she taught ministry at St. Paul School in Clifton, N.J., and mathematics and religion at Mother Seton.
Two students – Jennifer Ampofo of Newark, N.J., and Marion Spranger of Colonia, N.J. – addressed their peers, chronicling their very different paths to CSE. Ampofo is a traditional women's college student who earned her Bachelor of Arts degree in allied health studies with a minor in business administration. In her speech, "The Kaleidoscope of Simplicity," the Newark resident detailed experiences from move-in day freshmen year to graduation. "Like most of us, I came to CSE unsure of myself ... Today, we stand ready to live out our life's purpose and make a lasting impact on the world." She stressed the College's commitment to social justice and its role in her future. "We must take all that we have learned here and apply it to our daily lives, in turn, encouraging others to live out their greatness."
Read Jennifer's Full Speech
Spranger, who described herself as a "late bloomer," is a registered nurse who achieved her lifelong goal to obtain her Bachelor of Science degree in nursing. "I did take the long way around the academic mountain," she said in her speech, "Horizons Without Borders." Though life is very different for her now than when she graduated with an associate's degree, she has strong faith. "As we join our family and friends today to celebrate their accomplishment, let us relish the now, knowing surely God is in this place ... I urge you to allow God to be part of your journey forward. Grace has a way of opening doors in ways we never thought possible."
Read Marion's Full Speech
The CSE Commencement ceremony concluded a series of events including the baccalaureate mass, which took place the night before and incorporated the hooding of undergraduates and graduate students. A separate hooding ceremony took place May 13 for the twelve graduates of the doctoral program in educational leadership, Ed.D. The hood signifies rank and academic area of expertise.
A recap of Commencement 2014, including speeches and photos, as well as information about related events, is available for viewing at www.cse.edu/commencement.

A new wildfire northeast of Tucson, near Mt. Graham, is 70 percent contained.
The Marijilda Fire has burned about 38 acres southeast of the Safford Ranger District of the Coronado National Forest, according to forest officials.
It was reported to be human caused and started around 9:40 a.m. on Wednesday. The case is currently under investigation.
An air tanker is being used to help battle this fire and it is able to fill up at a nearby reservoir.
Three full crews and four engines are working to put out the fire in the short grass and oak areas.
Crews say the fire is at an elevation of 5,000 feet, around three miles from the reservoir and no structures were threatened.

Recently a self-described "conservative" and "pro-war" intellectual stopped me in the hallway to say that I was "right on one thing — Bush lied about weapons of mass destruction."
"It's a little late to figure that one out," I thought to myself, "since most of the planet outside the exceptionally thought-controlled United States of Narnia knew that Bush's Iraqi WMD were AWOL from the get go. And now we've got more than 100,000 Iraqi dead along with 2300+ U.S. troops and 20,000 U.S. injured." But hey, better late than never.
"Sure he did," I said, "but which WMD lie pisses you off the most?"
"Which WMD lie?," the pro-war intellectual asked…"whatever do you mean? The lie that Saddam had WMD, of course. We now know that he didn't."
Well, sorry, but (a) "now know?" and (b) that's just ONE of at least 4 or 5 big WMD lies. Lie # 1 is that they existed.
Lie # 2 is rarely mentioned or recalled. It held that Saddam was a recklessly suicidal maniac, which he would have to have been to attack US forces or Israel or any other state with (his mythical) WMD. And Saddam's history showed that he was a realistic survivor, a vicious bastard to be sure… but not a suicidal lunatic so filled with hatred against Great Satan America that he would have attacked the most fearsome armed power in history…or one of its client states.
Lie # 3 maintained that Saddam would have given WMD (had he possessed any) to his blood enemies in al Qaeda and its Islamic extremist cousins and ilk. That was a preposterous assertion, of course.
Lie # 4 is that Washington acted on BAD INTELLIGENCE when Bush claimed that Iraq had WMD. Bush has been trotting that one out a bunch these last two weeks, using it in response to citizens who ask why Saddam's killer weapons never showed up. Google up the Downing Street Memo and you can look at some evidence (there's more) that the WMD intelligence was all just "FIXED IN ADVANCE."
Truth is: for its imperial, oil-controlling purposes, the Bush administration "got" GOOD INTELLIGENCE…GOOD AND WELL-COOKED INTELLIGENCE THAT IT DEMANDED IN ADVANCE THAT IS.
Interestingly enough, Bush started saying earlier this year that he didn't actually order the invasion of Iraq because of Saddam's WMD. He undertook the occupation of Mesoptotamia, he said, in order the free the Iraqi people. "Huh, how about that?" the "liberal" media grunted. But if you look back at his speeches and radio addresses to the public in late 2002 and early 2003, his argument for imperial war is pretty much all about, well, uhhh… WMD; the freedom thing is at most an afterthought. I don't know if this deserves to be called WMD Lie # 5 or not.
As for Washington's alleged desire to export something it calls "democracy" to Iraq, that's another monumental Orwellian deception that I've been exposing (with no claim to originality) in various ZNet pieces for some time. It's not a WMD lie. It's the main post-WMD li[n]e, though the new claim that "we can't leave because civil war will break out" is now contending for Top Deception status.

10 Takeaways from the (Life-Changing!) Sundance Screenwriters Lab
It takes a village to make an independent film, and there are few villages as important and supportive as the Sundance Institute. If you don't know the institute and its programs, you certainly know the films that exist because of the Institute's immeasurable support. Previously I shared how I got into the Sundance Screenwriters Lab, and speculated about why I was fortunate enough to be selected this year after not making it in the past (hint: make a short – regardless of the labs, so many of this year's festival features were adapted from shorts). Now that the lab and the festival are over, I'd like to share some things I learned at the life-changing (and I don't use that term lightly) Sundance Screenwriters Lab. More »
How I Got Selected for the Sundance Screenwriters Lab
Earlier this week the news broke that I've been selected for the Sundance Screenwriters Lab with my project MANCHILD. On top of that I've received the inaugural A3 Foundation Sundance Fellowship.
Dream come true!
I'm not sure if it's possible to look forward to something more than going to the Screenwriters Lab and my first Sundance.
Here was my step-by-step approach to getting selected for the lab: More »
Dogfish Accelerator, 3RD RAIL, and Answering the Question 'What's Next?'
Hot on the heels of a long overdue update about my feature MANCHILD, I'm happy to share that the production company I co-founded with Zack Lieberman, EXIT STRATEGY, is one of eight companies selected for the inaugural class of the Dogfish Accelerator program (that's our ridiculous team photo at left). Dogfish Accelerator is the first seed accelerator for film production companies, modeled on startup incubators like TechStars, and is co-founded by producer James Belfer (Like Crazy, Compliance, Prince Avalanche). We publicized the program here on No Film School, as that is one of our missions with this site — to share opportunities that may be potentially career-changing for filmmakers — and Zack and I felt it represented such an opportunity for us and our long-germinating interactive project, 3RD RAIL. This post is long overdue, as we're already two months into the three-month accelerator, but that's what happens when you juggle projects and responsibilities — something that is a must in the film industry. Ridley Scott, for example, currently has 11 projects announced, in pre-production, filming, or in post-production. This is a good opportunity to talk about Dogfish and how MANCHILD and 3RD RAIL relate to the art of stacking projects, otherwise known as having an answer to the question every filmmaker is asked when a project garners recognition: "what's next?"

Wrapping up the Release of my Short AMATEUR and the Latest on my Feature MANCHILD
The last time I posted about my MANCHILD prequel AMATEUR, I was asking for help and releasing a teaser trailer to help the short get picked up by sports and film websites. By releasing a short film directly online instead of waiting to get into festivals, I was accelerating the release schedule and — at least in theory — finding an audience everywhere, instead of just in a few select theaters. I'm glad to say that AMATEUR has now been featured on a lot of prominent websites and has enjoyed a lot of festival play as well — despite being free online. Let's take a look at how we achieved this, the lessons I learned, and the status and schedule of the long-delayed but better-than-ever feature MANCHILD. More »
Does it Make Sense to Make a Trailer for a Short Film? Here's Why We Made One for AMATEUR
My Q&A about MANCHILD (and its prequel short AMATEUR) just went live on my favorite sports/movie website, Grantland (if you like it, please click "Recommend"at the bottom of their article!). Grantland is ESPN's in-depth, long-form journalism spin-off that features movies alongside sports coverage, which made it my #1 target for AMATEUR. Most sports websites, however, are accustomed to posting a quick highlight clip or an animated .gif. Thus, to spread the short to other sports sites, we're doing a couple of things: one, releasing the short on YouTube, and two, cutting a 15-second teaser that (hopefully) whets the appetite. If at first you don't succeed, try, try again (with a different strategy). Here's the new teaser: More »
If You Like AMATEUR, Take 2 Seconds to Help Us Spread the Word (Makes a BIG Difference)

Why Make a Short? Why Run a Kickstarter Campaign So Early? The MANCHILD Q&A
In the comments section of my more-contentious-than-I-expected post about making a short that ties into my forthcoming feature MANCHILD, there were a lot of questions about my project, as well as the overall wisdom of making a short in order to fundraise for a feature. Reading through the comments, I realized I could've delved deeper into the timeline of what's happened since my Kickstarter campaign. So, to answer some of the questions posed in the comments — as well as to generally shoot the shit about filmmaking — I sat down (virtually) with NFS editor Joe Marine for an wide-ranging video chat. More »
1. Write the Feature. 2. Make a Short. 3. Get the Feature Made. (Coming Soon: a MANCHILD Short)
UPDATE: In response to some of the (heated! opinionated!) questions and comments on this post, we did a long video Q&A as well.
I wrote recently about finishing the screenplay for my feature MANCHILD (for now… ), but it's been a while since I talked about what else is going on in the trenches of first-time feature filmmaking. The title of the post gives it away: we're making a short. Why are we doing this? And why do I think this strategy makes a lot of sense for other first-time feature directors? Because there are millions of people with a screenplay, all trying to figure out how to get from here (words on a page) to there (actual finished movie). If your goal seems impossibly far off, that's when it's time to bite off a smaller chunk and show what you're capable of. More »
20 Things That Helped Me Finish the (Current Draft of the) MANCHILD Screenplay
A few months ago I finished the screenplay for my feature MANCHILD (for now, at least). I'll have more updates on the project soon, but suffice to say there's been a long rewriting process since I ran my Kickstarter campaign over a year ago. And while this wasn't the first screenplay I've written, it's certainly the best, and the one on which I've worked the longest and hardest. Over the past two years, here are the things that have helped my screenwriting process. More »
Don't Hire Someone to Run Your Kickstarter Campaign: Or, Why Attitude is More Important than Aptitude
First of all, I want to start this post off by saying I have a tremendous amount of respect for Lucas McNelly. Not just because of the articles he's written for numerous websites, but also his A Year Without Rent project in which he traveled to work on indie films for free for a year, as well his free VODO film Blanc de Blanc (I haven't had a chance to see his other work yet). As someone who did my own year without rent, I feel an affinity for Lucas despite never having met him, and I think he's great for the indie film community. Lucas, this is not a personal attack on you by any means, and I'd love to get a beer with you at some point should we ever find ourselves in the same city or at the same festival. HOWEVER, I want to take this opportunity to talk about Lucas's criticisms of some Kickstarter campaigns — mine included — and how I believe attitude and criticism affects creativity and productivity. I'll also talk about the rise of the professional crowdfunding consultant. This is going to be a long, rambling post with a high risk of TL;DR — don't say I didn't warn you. More »
'Man Child' is Awarded a Tribeca All Access Grant (Other Tribeca Programs Open for Applications)
It's been a while since I've had an update on my feature Man Child, as I haven't had any major news to share. Last week, however, the Tribeca Film Institute announced their 2012 All Access grantees, and I'm incredibly honored to be among them. In addition to sharing my own good news, I'd also like to raise awareness about a pair of Tribeca programs currently open for applications: the Tribeca New Media Fund and the Tribeca Film Fellow program. First, here are the details on All Access, and then I'll share details on the other programs, as well as more about the current status of Man Child. More »
Why I'm Ordering a RED SCARLET-X, and How it Relates to My Feature 'Man-child'
In a post about the new RED SCARLET-X, I mentioned that I ordered the camera myself. First of all, some context: I've been a "professional" in video (since apparently we need to distinguish between professional and amateur) since I was hired as a video editor in 1999, at the age of 18. Since then, save my four year stint in college, I've made my living in and around the industry, shooting, editing, directing, producing, designing, etc. for hire (here's a resume). Yet I've never owned a "professional" camera. So I got all excited on Twitter about the prospect of finally being able to own and operate a camera of the SCARLET-X's caliber, after twelve years of working my way up to this point. But I've been surprised at the number of people who have left comments questioning this decision, accusing me of misspending the Man-child Kickstarter funds, or writing critiques with me at the center. So here are a dozen points of clarification: More »

'Man-child' is 100% Funded -- and I'm Going to Make My First Feature Film -- Thanks to You!
Thank you for supporting my first feature film. Thank you for spreading the word. Thank you for believing in me. Thank you for bearing with me as this site got a bit overrun with campaign promos. And thank you for reading! I'll have a better write up in a while when I have a chance to decompress and edit a post, but in the meantime — Man-child hit 100% with 10 hours left, thanks to you guys. I sent out a last email to NFS readers and the campaign jumped so fast that I couldn't refresh the page fast enough. Come join us at the party tonight in NYC, or here online live at 9PM EDT!
If you're not subscribed to the newsletter, I wanted to share with you a story I included in my last email about the campaign. The concept for the NoFilmSchool newsletter has been to write letters to myself that would've helped me avoid some of the mistakes I've made so far in my career. I'm not constantly selling stuff in the newsletter and so I run it at a loss. But the idea is that if I can genuinely help people, regardless of short-term dollars, somehow it all comes back around: and the success of my Kickstarter campaign is exhibit A!

Leaving It All on the Court with 24 Hours Left: Everything I've Done to Promote #Manchild
Exactly 24 hours left in the Man-child campaign, and we're so close! Despite this screencap from my Twitter campaign video, I haven't had a team to help. But what I have had is help from a lot of other websites! So in addition to writing a dozen posts about Man-child here on NoFilmSchool, participating in Independent Film Week, Facebooking and Twittering almost non-stop, and writing my own Press Release — all while simultaneously trying to post the latest helpful news about filmmaking here, as usual — I've also thankfully popped on a lot of other web sites. Some of these were guest posts, some were interviews, and some were posts written by others out of the simple desire to help the campaign. This has been a community effort that has made it this far thanks to, literally, thousands of people. I can't say it enough: thank you so much for helping. It takes a village! As I say in the post title — and to use a sports analogy — I've left it all on the court. Now we're on the cusp of making history together. Here's a list of appearances elsewhere that I've been able to keep track of over the last 37 days: More »
6 Reasons to Back 'Man-child' in its Last Hours (from a NoFilmSchool Reader)
NoFilmSchool reader @truphtooph took to Twitter recently to offer up some reasons to back my campaign to make my first feature film, which ends tomorrow night. Man-child, I don't need to remind you, will raise nothing if the campaign falls short! Also, I had nothing to do with these tweets — it was a simple act of unprompted generosity. My favorite reason of his has to do with American Movie — and what could happen if Man-child ends up sucking!

10 (More) Must-Read Posts Before Running Your Own Crowdfunding Campaign

I've tried to share what I've learned about crowdfunding along the way, including a Ten Must-Read Posts Before Running Your Own Crowdfunding Campaign post. Here's a second compilation of valuable posts.
One thing I learned after the first couple of weeks: I implemented an unsaid rule for my twitter account that I wouldn't mention my film campaign (or retweet the mentions of others) unless I had talked about something else since my last mention of the campaign. There's a balance between talking about yourself and remaining relevant. And while that might balance might have shifted over the past few days — there are only 2 days left, so my sense of urgency is overpowering the desire to show self-promotion restraint — this Twitter lesson is included in one post below.
As I say in the introduction to the first ten, "luck favors the prepared." And in setting out to run this campaign, I read a whole lot more than ten posts. So here's a second set of ten posts to read when preparing your own campaign. More »

The owner of a popular Tri-State restaurant is making the move from a smokehouse to the TV screen.
John Foreman, owner of Old Hickory Barbeque in Owensboro, competed on the national television program, BBQ Pitmasters.
Foreman started working in the family owned business when he was ten and says he loved watching his dad work around the restaurant.
Foreman says he bought his first barbeque pit just weeks before the competition and started seasoning it with a local, well-known favorite.
"You have to try mutton for the first time. If you've never had it. It's an Owensboro dish, you don't get it outside of Owensboro, it's what we're known for, kind of our specialty," Foreman said.
The Owensboro Visitor's Bureau is hosting a community viewing party at Gambrinus on Sunday evening, but the $10 tickets are going fast.
To see how Foreman did in the competition, you'll have to tune into Destination America, Sunday night at 8:00.

MEMPHIS, TN - (WMC-TV) – An empty can sat outside a southwest Memphis home Tuesday. Police say a man doused the place with gasoline after holding his 87-year-old mother against her will for nearly a week.
Patrice Jones lives down the street.
"I think that's just insane," said Jones. "I mean, a person like that belongs behind bars."
That's where 51-year-old Douglas Farmer was being held. He was charged with aggravated assault and accused of threatening to burn down his mother's home after she said he pointed an assault rifle at her and pulled the trigger. Fortunately, it jammed.
"She's a good person," said Jones. "All she do is sit on the porch and speak to everybody."
Police said the elderly woman was able to call for help when Farmer finally left the house.
"Unfortunately, we see a lot of incidents in our community where grown children assault their parents," said Anna Whalley with the Shelby County Crime Victims Center.
She said many older victims are afraid to report abuse inflicted by their children.
She's just glad the 87-year-old woman in this case got help.
"We don't know what happened, how long it's been going on," said Whalley. "But we want to stop that cycle and make sure no one's hurt."
"I couldn't imagine anyone wanting to hurt their mom," said Patrice Jones. "You know, you only have one mom."
Police said Douglas Farmer refused to make any statements in regard to the disturbing attack on his mother.
At last check, his bond was set at $50,000.

No, you don't have a pass to eat unlimited amounts of foods just because they're free of carbohydrates. Carbs aren't your only dietary consideration.
Eating a healthy, portion-controlled diet helps you manage your blood sugar levels and reduces your risk of diabetes-related conditions, such as heart disease and stroke. The best way to do this is to choose a variety of nutritious foods — those rich in vitamins, minerals and fiber — and limit foods that are high in cholesterol, saturated fat and sodium.
Consider the following sample breakfast menus. Although they provide almost the same number of carbs, breakfast No. 2 is a better choice because it's considerably lower in calories, cholesterol and fat.

ODEC to purchase power from Pennsylvania wind farm
- July 6, 2011
- |
Glen Allen-based Old Dominion Electric Cooperative has signed a long-term agreement to buy 75 megawatts of power and renewable energy credits from a Pennsylvania wind farm.
The power-purchase agreement brings ODEC's renewable-energy portfolio to 249 megawatts, enough to power more than 70,000 homes.
Being developed by BP Wind Energy, the Mehoopany Wind Farm in Wyoming County, Pa., will be about 20 miles northwest of Scranton.
ODEC's contract was negotiated by the National Renewables Cooperative Organization, which also negotiated a 30-megawatt power-purchase agreement with the wind farm on behalf of Southern Maryland Electric Cooperative, based in Hughesville, Md.
The Mehoopany Wind Farm is expected to have a capacity of 144 megawatts. Site construction work should start in late 2011. The wind farm is expected to move into full operation in late 2012.
Mehoopany is ODEC's ninth renewable-energy resource. The cooperative also has agreements with two other wind facilities in Pennsylvania and one in Maryland; four landfill-gas-to-electricity facilities in Virginia, Maryland and Delaware; and a small hydroelectric facility in western Virginia.
Old Dominion Electric Cooperative is a generation-and-transmission cooperative that provides wholesale power to 11 member electric distribution cooperatives in Virginia, Maryland and Delaware.

By PA Independent Staff
HARRISBURG — The lazy, languid days of summer are officially on their way out, as the final week of August saw plenty of activity as politicos gear up for Election Day.
On the national front, Mitt Romney accepted the Republican presidential nomination, supported by one-time primary foe and former Pennsylvania U.S. Sen. Rick Santorum.
Statewide candidates are beginning to push their campaigns to the forefront, like those in the auditor general's race and Pennsylvania's Senate race. Meanwhile, the administration continues to find ways to carry out the controversial voter I.D. law.
The week also saw significant court decisions, including a tax increase for the financially strapped city of Harrisburg and the salary removal of suspended Supreme Court Justice Joan Orie Melvin, accused of public corruption.
Judicial panel revokes Orie Melvin's pay
The Court of Judicial Discipline ordered Thursday that Justice Joan Orie Melvin cannot receive her salary while suspended from the Supreme Court.
Orie Melvin and her sister, Janine Orie, face multiple corruption charges, accused of instructing state employees to do Orie Melvin's campaign work on the commonwealth's time.
Orie Melvin was suspended from her duties as a Supreme Court judge in May. Per that order, the six-judge Court of Judicial Discipline held two hearings to determine if she could still receive her annual salary of about $195,000 while standing trial.
The court's opinion said the charges against Orie Melvin "describe conduct so egregious" that they merit pay suspension.
Orie Melvin's overall conduct also played a role.
"In examining that conduct we see this Respondent as so singlemindedly occupied with achieving personal aggrandizement that she pressured, intimidated and bullied her clerks and secretaries into performing work on her political campaigns in violation of a pledge each had made as a condition of their employment pursuant to an Order of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania," the opinion reads.
Republican National Convention wraps up
Mitt Romney and Rep. Paul Ryan officially accepted the presidential and vice-presidential nominations this week at the Republican National Convention held in Tampa, Fla.
Romeny's acceptance speech on Thursday night touched on his plans for job creation and where President Barack Obama has failed. Earlier in the week, his wife Ann Romney spoke on why her husband is the right choice for commander in chief, sharing details of how they met, while Rep. Ryan rallied the crowd the next night.
Former presidential candidate and ex-U.S. Sen. Rick Santorum also took the stage on the first night, taking conservative values to the forefront. Santorum served two terms before being defeated by current U.S. Sen. Bob Casey in 2006.
Auditor General hopefuls focus on Penn State funding, water pollution
In the run-up to November, statewide elections, too, are beginning to take on a fervent approach.
So far, both candidates in the race for the auditor general's seat seem to agree on major issues: both promise to investigate the use of money by Penn State University and the efficacy in keeping natural gas drilling pollution out of waterways.
The campaign, rather, will focus on credentials of State Rep. Eugene DePasquale, D-York, elected to the house in 2006, and state Rep. John Maher, R-Allegheny, elected to the House in 1997.
DePasquale points to his history in the legislative and executive branches — he worked for the state Department of Environmental Protection prior to becoming a lawmaker. He's also an attorney.
"I know that I know how to read a budget, and I know how to work with people in the field," he said. "My qualifications are as strong as anyone who has ever held the job, and my goal is making sure that government works."
Maher is a certified public accountant, and said he is the only candidate who can bring teeth to the office.
"It seems to me that Pennsylvania is ready for an auditor general who knows how to audit," Maher said.
Public Policy Polling, a national, independent polling firm based in North Carolina, conducted the most recent poll of the auditor general race in July, showing DePasquale with a slim lead of 36 percent to 34 percent over Maher.
That survey included 758 registered voters and had a margin of error of 3.56 percentage points.
Senate challenger remarks gain national attention
Tom Smith, the Republican challenger to U.S. Sen. Bob Casey, gained a moment of national attention this week after his remarks about abortion drew controversy.
Smith was speaking to the Pennsylvania Press Club on Monday when asked to weigh in on Rep. Todd Akin's recent comments about abortion. Smith's comments appeared to liken having a child outside of marriage to rape, though he backtracked through his comments.
Smith is running against Casey on the grounds that the incumbent has failed to pass bills, and too often votes with President Barack Obama, calling him "Senator Zero." The Casey campaign has fought back against Smith by criticizing his apparent allegiance to Tea Party ideals.
Financially, Casey has more muscle to throw behind his campaign, with $10.6 million raised as of the end of June. Smith had raised $7.9 million by the same deadline,, according to federal records compiled by the nonprofit Center for Responsive Politics.
Court overrules city leaders, calls tax increase a necessity
The Commonwealth Court handed down its decision on increasing the earned income tax for city of Harrisburg residents, ruling in favor of the increase.
Judge Bonnie Leadbetter agreed with the state-appointed Office of the Receiver that the tax increase is a necessary part of Harrisburg's recovery plan. The City Council failed to increase the tax on its own, causing receiver Maj. Gen. William Lynch to petition for the increase in court.
Some Harrisburg City Council members oppose the increase, saying residents have been subject to too many other tax increases in recent years.
City Councilman Brad Koplinkski said he disagreed with the judge's decision the situation required an intervention of the separation of powers.
"The fact remains, democracy in the city of Harrisburg has taken a very serious blow in that we were elected by the people to make decisions on behalf of the citizens of Harrisburg and not carry out the orders of the state," Koplinkski said.
Daley calls for top officials to resign because of mounting turnpike debt
Citing escalating debt and new borrowing, state Rep. Peter Daley, D-Washington, on Wednesday called for two of the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission's top officials to resign.
In a letter, Daley wrote that CEO Roger Nutt and COO Craig Shuey should leave, because they showed a "lack of leadership, inability to manage funds and failure as a fiscal watchdog for the Turnpike Commission."
Daley pointed to a recent article in the Philadelphia Inquirer, which discussed the Turnpike Commission's $7 billion debt.
In January, Auditor General Jack Wagner said Act 44 of 2007 — which required the turnpike to pay the state Department of Transportation $450 million annually — was the major reason the Turnpike Commission was "drowning in debt."
PennDOT spent that money on mass transit and various road and bridge projects statewide.
The commission's total debt has increased from $2.6 billion to $7.3 billion since Act 44 was passed, said Wagner, who described Act 44 as creating a "debt time bomb" for the commission, resulting in higher tolls every year.
Audit calls out risky borrowing at SEPTA
A performance audit of the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority criticizes the agency for engaging in high-risk financing deals known as "swaps," that ended up costing $41.4 million in tax dollars.
Swap transactions are made between borrowers and banks on bond interest rates to hedge against rising interest rates. In Pennsylvania, Auditor General Jack Wagner has turned a critical eye toward this type of borrowing.
"What we strongly recommend is that public agencies issue fixed interest rate conventional bonds that are very transparent and reliable and are understood by the decision makers and the public in terms of the dollars that are being spent," he said.
But SEPTA officials say its deal could have worked out had it not been for legislation that put new restrictions on transit-authority financing, forcing it to terminate the swap agreement before they could re-adjust interest rates.
SEPTA officials also disagreed with the audit's calculation of how much the whole transaction wound up costing in the long run. The audit's total of $41.4 million takes into account a $7.7 million interest payment with an 18-year term, not only the costs of the swap and its termination.
Special 'voting-only' ID cards now available
The Department of Transportation is now distributing photo identification cards for voting purposes, aiming to reach residents who may otherwise be unable to obtain photo ID.
Residents who want the new ID card will need to provide their name, address, Social Security number and proof of residency. Applicants must complete an application form and sign a document affirming they are registered to vote, but have no other form of identification that can be used at the polls.
"Our goal is to ensure that every person who needs an ID can get one, and this new ID serves as a safety net for those who can't find or obtain verification documents normally required for a PennDOT secure identification card," said Barry Schoch, the state Secretary of Transportation, in a statement.
Pennsylvania's voter ID law was passed in March and upheld by Commonwealth Court Judge Robert Simpson earlier this month. But the plaintiffs appealed the decision, and now the case is scheduled to go before the state Supreme Court on Sept. 13 in Philadelphia.

US Olympic uniforms made in China, lawmakers furious
WASHINGTON, USA (AP) — The US uniforms for the Olympics are made in China, causing members of Congress to fume.
Congress railed today about the US Olympic Committee's decision to dress its team in Chinese-manufactured berets, blazers and pants while the American textile industry struggles economically with many US workers desperate for jobs.
"I am so upset. I think the Olympic committee should be ashamed of themselves. I think they should be embarrassed. I think they should take all the uniforms, put them in a big pile and burn them and start all over again," Senator Harry Reid said.
Nancy Pelosi said at her weekly news conference that she's proud of the nation's Olympic athletes, but "they should be wearing uniforms that are made in America."
House Speaker John Boehner said simply of the USOC, "You'd think they'd know better."
In a statement, the USOC defended the choice of American designer Ralph Lauren for the clothing.
"Unlike most Olympic teams around the world, the US Olympic team is privately funded and we're grateful for the support of our sponsors," USOC spokesman Patrick Sandusky said in a statement. "We're proud of our partnership with Ralph Lauren, an iconic American company."
Ralph Lauren also is dressing the Olympic and Paralympic teams for the closing ceremony and providing casual clothes to be worn around the Olympic Village. Nike has made many of the competition uniforms for the US and outfits for the medal stand.
On Twitter, Sandusky called the outrage over the made-in-China uniforms nonsense. The designer, Sandusky wrote, "financially supports our team. An American company that supports American athletes."
In fact, this is not the first time that Ralph Lauren has designed the Olympic uniforms. Yet that did little to quell the anger on Capitol Hill.
"It is not just a label, it's an economic solution," said congressman Steve Israel. "Today there are 600,000 vacant manufacturing jobs in this country and the Olympic committee is outsourcing the manufacturing of uniforms to China? That is not just outrageous, it's just plain dumb. It is self-defeating."
Senators Sherrod Brown and Kirsten Gillibrand sent letters to Lawrence Probst III, chairman of the USOC, complaining about the made-in-China uniforms. Brown suggested the USOC find a manufacturer with a facility in the United States, suggesting the Hugo Boss plant in Cleveland.
"There is no compelling reason why all of the uniforms cannot be made here on US soil at the same price, at better quality," Gillibrand and Israel wrote.
In a tweet, US Olympian Nick Symmonds, who will compete in the 800 metres, wrote: "Our Ralph Lauren outfits for the Olympic opening ceremonies were made in China. So, um, thanks China."
This is not the first time patriotism has been discussed when it comes to Olympic clothing. The must-have US souvenir of the 2002 Salt Lake Winter Games was a fleece beret made by Roots, a Canadian company that was the official US team outfitter for that opening ceremony.

Yesterday I essentially said that Hamilton blaming the color of his eyes for his day-time hitting woes was, well, a bunch of hooey (#1 comment on the thread). The link above---the basis for this post---refutes my skepticism. Here's the money quote from an optometrist (internal link mine)t: "Because of the lack of pigment in lighter color eyes -- like blue or green eyes as opposed to brown -- you get a lot more unwanted light and that can create glare problems," said Dr. Richard L. Ison, O.D., an optometrist since 1990 who currently works in Murphy, just northeast of Dallas. Ison said the phenomenon is called intraocular light scatter, meaning the light scatters as it enters, producing a focal point that isn't as good. His solution for Hamilton: Find a pair of sunglasses that he's completely comfortable wearing while batting. So I stand corrected. But seriously, how can this not have been discussed somewhere in regular baseball coverage over the 30 plus years I've been following the sport in Kansas City and Chicago? - TL
Hopefully, regulars at this blog ready JoPo's as well, but I just loved this quote: "The hitters tell me my fastball looks faster when they're still a little hungover." Plus, more creepy texting from Bannister and his writer-in-home-port Posnanski.

We booked two cabins on the 9th deck of the ship with balconies, unfortunately we did not realize we were directly under the pizza bar(which serves 24hrs). The noise from sliding chairs and tables was non-stop for seven days and nights. Then at 3:00 or 4:00 in the morning when all of the bars and the disco closed, every drunk arrived at the pizza bar trying to sober-up or continue dancing the night away. We never were able to sleep. Do not book rooms 9350 and 9346. We complained after the third night and Carnival guest services said they would attempted to relocate us, but the ship was full so nothing was available. Tough luck. "Would you like earplugs?"
Having said this, the rest of the cruise was fine. The service and food was commendable. There were lines on the lido deck at the buffet, but the pasta and Indian bar were rarely crowded.
The show "Dancing in the Streets" was great. One or two of the comedians were entertaining and worth seeing. We only waited a reasonable time for any of the shows we saw.

I bought this fragrance as a Christmas present a few years ago. When I first smelled it, I knew immediately she would love it. I knew she would be hesitant because it had Beyonce's name on it. When she finally smelled it, it became her signature perfume. She ran out really fast and continued to throw hints about a new bottle. I decided this year I would get her a new bottle and make the bottle the big 3.4 size instead of the 1.7 bottle she initially had. I sent it to here from Afghanistan from fragrancex.com. She was absolutely elated. Needless to say, it brings out the sexiness in her more than ever........

I was so excited to try this fragrance after reading all the hype about it. I was really expecting a scent that would make them (men) turn around and "howl". I was disappointed in the scent first of all and second, the lasting effect. To me, the scent wasn't as good as my favorite body scent I use daily. I purchased "Heat" for a special occasion, but will probably use it anytime. It does smell nice and fresh, but other than that nothing spectacular.

Girl Scout creates scavenger hunt for Houston Zoo to earn Gold Award
October, 2011
Houston – Girl Scout Julia S. created a sensory-based scavenger hunt for the Houston Zoo to earn the Girl Scouts of San Jacinto Council Gold Award, the highest award a Girl Scout can achieve. Less than five percent of girls who join Girl Scouts earn this recognition.
"I learned that I really love learning about animals," said Julia, a senior at Westbury Christian High School.
Earning the Gold Award is a significant honor that requires recipients to demonstrate outstanding leadership skills, career planning, community involvement and personal development. It takes more than 100 service hours and two to three years of intensive work to complete the award requirements, which include planning and completing a project that is a service to the community.
"I chose this project because I wanted to do something that would benefit the Houston Zoo, and this was identified as something they had a need for," said Julia.
For her project, Julia worked with the Zoo's education department to develop her scavenger hunt which can be utilized by zoo visitors who have impaired vision or are dealing with physical mobility impairments. Two versions of the scavenger hunt were created: one that can be done at the zoo's Brown Education Center for those who are not able to easily move around and a second for visitors who are comfortable walking the grounds. On both, visitors visit stations or presentations and after learning about an animal receive a clue as to which station or exhibit they move on to next.
"Julia learned that it takes a lot of time to get things ready for others to do work for you and with you, so delegating work is harder than doing it alone sometimes," said Cindi S., Julia's mother. "She's learned the importance of clear communication and how much there is to learn about wild animals."
Julia has been a member of Girl Scouts for 12 years. She is a member of a trampoline and power tumbling team and has participated in national competitions several times over the past five years. Following graduation she plans to attend college to study wildlife conservation, zoology or ecology.
Girl Scouts of the USA is the world's preeminent organization for girls, with a membership of more than 3.7 million girls and adults. Girl Scouting builds girls of courage, confidence, and character, who make the world a better place. Chartered by GSUSA to provide Girl Scouting locally, Girl Scouts of San Jacinto Council is one of the largest Girl Scout councils in the country serving more than 70,000 girl members and 19,000 adults in 26 southeast Texas counties.
