PEORIA, Ill. -- A setback has occurred for one participant in Peoria's Don't Shoot anti-crime program.
Authorities arrested one of the nine men who participated in the call-in portion of the program.
Peoria police arrested 30-year-old Jerome Jones and another man Thursday afternoon for allegedly beating, kidnapping and robbing a man on the East bluff.
Authorities say Jones and 18-year-old Jarvis Logan and another man jumped the victim last Saturday on New York Avenue.
Police say after the trio beat the victim, he was placed in the trunk of a vehicle, and driven to Widenham Street, where he was able to later free himself.
This week, we introduced you to Jones, who for a month now had participated in the call-in portion of the Don't Shoot Program.
City officials had linked him up with social service agencies after Jones said he wanted to turn his life around.
Peoria Police Chief Steve Settingsgaard says recovering from criminal activity can be similar to getting off drugs or alcohol.
"I suspect that Jerome had the best of intentions. He was following up on the things that we referred him to," said Settingsgaard. "He seemed serious about the changes in his life. I don't know what led him to his involvement in this case but I'm not surprised, I'm disappointed"
Police would not say if the crime was gang related and they are not releasing the victim's name but add his injuries were not life threatening.
Settingsgaard says money was taken from the man.
Jones and Logan face charges of aggravated kidnapping and armed robbery.
Both are in custody at the Peoria County jail.
Police are still looking for a third suspect, Jones' brother.

NEW YORK (AP) - A former Long Island Rail Road engineer has escaped jail time after admitting he claimed more than $300,000 in phony disability benefits.
63-year-old Karl Brittel was sentenced Friday in Manhattan federal court to six months home confinement and probation.
U.S. District Judge Victor Marrero said probation was merited because Brittel cooperated with prosecutors and provided "substantial assistance" against others.
Brittel apologized and said he hoped God would forgive him.
Brittel is one of 33 individuals who were convicted or pleaded guilty in what the government says was a vast conspiracy to submit bogus disability claims to the federal Railroad Retirement Board.
Brittel pleaded guilty to claiming a fake medical condition and lying about it under oath.
He was ordered to pay $319,254 in restitution.

- 1 can (20 ounces) unsweetened pineapple chunks
- 1 large green pepper, julienned
- 2 medium carrots, thinly sliced

- 1 tablespoon minced fresh gingerroot
- 1 tablespoon canola oil
- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch strips
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 4 teaspoons cornstarch
- 1/4 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
- Cook spaghetti according to package directions; drain. Drain pineapple, reserving juice; set aside. In a large nonstick skillet or wok, stir-fry green pepper, carrots, onions and ginger in oil for 3 minutes. Add chicken and garlic; stir-fry for 5 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink.

Light sleet plops into the water around me. We are wading in that magic 45 minutes of pre-front conditions, when the wind hasn't switched out of the north but still swells the air with a warm, humid south wind. At any moment, a few minutes of stasis will occur, that time when the south wind and the north wind reach a truce and both come to a standstill. That interlude, when the fish seem to sense this will be their last meal for a few days and feed voraciously, is my favorite time to fish. Here in Texas, that interval is referred to as trout fever - and it drives anglers crazy.
Fronts can take a day or two to cover the length of the 300-odd miles of Texas Gulf coastline. They start along the Louisiana border over Lake Sabine and work their way south toward Capt. Paul Marcaccio, in the urbanized confines of Texas' Galveston Bay, and onto Capt. Sally Moffett's Texas-flair artists' colony at Rockport and then Capt. Mitch Richmond's Tex-Mex-flavored world of deep South Texas.
Each region offers something different for trout anglers, and all produce monster trout - greater in number the farther south you travel.
Upper Coast | Sabine to Matagorda Bay
Galveston Bay guide Capt. Paul Marcaccio is an ex-Marine, and he exudes the confidence and air of efficiency bred in the Corps, things that seem to ingrain themselves into individuals as they get older.
"Galveston Bay has the ability to reward anglers with that memory of a lifetime if you can find the time when there is little pressure," Marcaccio says.
Wading, as along the rest of the Texas coast, is the best means to target the larger fish. In the massive Galveston Bay complex, the hot spots are north, near Robinson Bayou, in East Bay; Pig Pens; Trinity; Jack's Pocket; Trinity River flats; and Spillway flats.
"We look for deepwater access and drainages to find ambush points, plus mud and sand pockets," he says, "but tidal movement is essential. Either ebbing or flowing will work: You just have to find the ambush sites and work the edges."
In the deepwater access points, popping corks with 5-inch Saltwater Bass Assassin jerkbaits or paddle-tails in plum, pumpkinseed or pearl under them are deadly.
"The popping sound of the cork gets the fish's head up," says Marcaccio. "We guess they think the sound is from other fish feeding.
"We usually use the hard-plastic baits in shallow when the fish are working our shallower shorelines or flats."
The best colors in the muddy industrial waters of the Galveston Bay complex are chromeand chartreuse.

What got into John Rowland, everyone was asking after the former governor and now WTIC-AM 1080 talk show host hammered former Republican Attorney General Nominee Martha Dean over her views on the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting.
Dean has a "truther" video on her Facebook page that suggests, among other things, that the massacre might not have actually happened and that the government might have been behind such a conspiracy.
For her part, Dean said the video raised questions about the official narrative of the event. How did the shooter get into the school? Was there a second shooter? Was the government involved?
There is only one plausible explanation for Rowland's 360-depature from his normally conservative persona. It wasn't him.
Think about it:
Did anyone actually see Rowland conducting this interview?
Why would a right-wing radio station like WTIC-AM allow Rowland to expose a far-right conservative like Dean on the air for over an hour?
Is it possible Rowland was kidnapped and replaced by a government agent who had undergone numerous plastic surgery procedures (possibly under the direction of Joan Rivers)?
Is it just a coincidence that Rowland's voice sometimes sounded suspiciously like that of Manti Teo's girlfriend?
I'm not saying any of this is true. I'm just raising the questions.
Seeking Peace With Tuba, Uke Players
OK, so a few weeks ago in a different column venue I got into a bit of a spat with ukulele and tuba players after calling the instruments "dorky" and suggesting that in recorded history there had never been a tuba player who had a groupie.
For some reason, tuba and uke players took exception, and some unpleasant e-mails were received.
In one e-mail exchange with a man named Everest, who described himself as an "extremely awesome tuba player," I wrote: "You tuba types may be cool but you don't have much of a sense of humor."
This week Everest responded: "So I don't have a sense of humor?" and included the following:
You drop a tuba, a banjo, and an accordion off of the Empire State Building. Which one hits the ground first?
Who cares?
Why is the sousaphone better than the tuba?
It's portable.
Why did the chicken cross the road?

In this week's roundup, Entertainment Design checks out a group of spaces, two brand spanking new and two that sound like new, with the addition of audio systems. We'll escort you through a multipurpose facility at a college in the Midwest and give you a taste of Beverly Hills glitz and glamour.
Northern Iowa University's Gallagher-Bluedorn Performing Arts Center (below) opened last year on the campus in Cedar Falls, Iowa. The $23 million facility is 115,000 sq. ft. and contains three performing venues, as well as rehearsal studios, classrooms, and administrative offices for the UNI School of Music and the Waterloo-Cedar Falls Symphony Orchestra. The main performance hall, the Great Hall, seats 1,620, while the Davis Recital Hall seats 300 and the Jebe Organ Hall seats 125. The center features a pair of quad-18 Bag End Quartz high-output subwoofer systems, controlled by a Bag End ELF (Extended Low Frequency) processor to provide bass for the sound reinforcement system.
The $90 million expansion to the Gwinnett Civic & Cultural Center (below) is now underway in Gwinnett County, Georgia. The expansion will include an 11,600-seat arena and a 21,600 sq. ft., multi-functional ballroom. The four level arena will feature dual lighting systems and a custom designed house reduction system. These features will allow for a wide range of performances from minor league hockey to arena football to Broadway performances. Also included in the center are star dressing rooms, locker rooms, show truck parking, show power, pressroom facilities, bunker suites, three food courts, private suites, lounges, and a spacious ballroom.
The New Luxor Theatre in Rotterdam received a sound system from Amsterdam-based Focus Show Equipment. The system consists of 8 ALA-3W (Acoustic Linear Array) Loudspeakers and 2 AD10 subwoofers, hung in clusters, left to right, from specially designed truss in front of the proscenium. The system also features several fill-ins, custom-made ceiling speaker units, side-fills, loudspeakers, and monitors. The complete system is controlled with BSS Soundweb. The main mixer is a Series 4 Soundcraft, and for smaller performances there is a Yamaha 01V.
An all-Apogee system was recently installed at the 1200-seat International Ballroom at Merv Griffin's Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills. The venue has hosted the Grammy Awards, the Golden Globe Awards, and the annual dinner for Oscar nominees, among many other prestigious events. Greg Kirkland, of Thomas Gregor Audio, provided the new system. The system is comprised of six AE-2, five SSM, four AE-11, and four AE-9 speakers, all of which are plug-and-play. Four FS-2 stage monitors, three D-1 digital loudspeaker controllers, and 11 SA-700 amplifiers were also installed.

Online Math Tutoring FAQs
What can an online math consultation do for me?
At the Online Academic Support Center, we believe that learning comes from practice and being engaged in your class assignments. Working with an online math consultant helps you identify and answer potential questions about your course content so you improve your understanding and skills.
More specifically, if you're uncertain and nervous about your class, we can help you understand your math problems and assignments. If you feel like you can't get started, we can guide you through the process and help you organize your thinking. If you have a specific question on algebra or pre-calculus, we can help you find the answer. If you only want to talk through your questions and ideas, we're excited about discussing them with you.
What is an online math consultation?
An online consultation offers the opportunity to work through your math questions and assignments with a trained tutor. It's a chance for you to clarify your questions and practice your skills in a safe, supportive environment.
What exactly happens during an online consultation?
We don't have a checklist of tasks to accomplish in each consultation; rather, we tailor each meeting to our clients' individual needs. When you schedule an appointment, remember to include a copy of your assignment and a list of questions or concerns you have about your class. Your math or statistics consultant will review your questions, help you work through practice problems, and direct you to additional online support materials.
Will my math consultant help me complete my assignments?
We can't help you complete your assignments because our goal is not simply to help you get a better grade; it's to help you become a better student and learner. If we do parts of your assignments, you won't learn how to do that job on your own. Instead, we will help you acquire the skills you need to complete the problems yourself. We will certainly answer any questions you have; we can help you get started on your assignments and guide you through the process. In the end, though, completing your assignments is up to you.
When is an online math consultant available?
Visit WCONLINE to view a schedule of when our online math and statistics consultants are available. You can log in to the system and schedule appointments at any time. However, you may only schedule appointments 24 hours or more in advance.
How do I schedule an online math consultation?
Once you have registered an account with WCONLINE, use the Schedules dropdown menu and select "AGS and Dual Enrollment Math/Stat Tutors." Navigate to the week you wish to make an appointment and locate the desired date and tutor name. You may then click on any white square, indicating an available time slot for an appointment, and fill in the required information.
You may choose to schedule "Online" tutoring, which means you will return to WCONLINE and meet with your tutor in real time, or you may choose "eTutoring," where you upload an assignment and receive notification when your tutor has responded with comments. Visit this step-by-step guide on setting up and attending online tutor consultations.
How many online math consultations may I have per week?
You may request 2 online consultations per week lasting 30 minutes to 1 hour in length.
Will my professor know that I worked with an online math consultant?
Yes. We will notify your instructor that you completed an online math consultation. Throughout the semester, your instructor may encourage or ask you to work with an online consultant as well.
Are online math consultations only for class assignments?
Yes. You should only submit a request for assistance for assignments you are completing in one of your courses at Bryan College.

Police: M5 crash investigation 'meticulous and complex'
– Detective Superintendent Mike Courtiour, Avon & Somerset Police
The collision was one of the worst in living memory.
We launched a comprehensive investigation immediately after to establish the full circumstances which led to the collision.
Our investigation was meticulous and complex. We took hundreds of witness statements, examined 34 vehicles and consulted several experts, including meteorologists, pyrotechnic and forensic specialists.
Based on this evidence the Crown Prosecution Service took a decision to charge. However, following further consideration in recent weeks they have decided to discontinue the manslaughter charges.

Kick for a Cure 2012 by Bradley CureSearch Club - over 2 years ago
"This photograph was taken of Bradley CureSearch Club at Bradley University in Peoria, Illinois. We put on a fundraiser called Kick for a Cure in April 2012 to "kick" children's cancer. The event, a kickball tournament, was a huge success and the money went to CureSearch for Children's Cancer. Our club loved the t-shirts that we designed on CustomInk.com, they turned out great!

I'm really glad we have a good amount of farms in the Newburyport area, because my two gardens have not produced much this year. I planted peas twice; not much came up. My spinach never got more than 2 inches tall, and my radishes, lots of green, but woody, and small radishes.
I know it was a weird spring and start of summer, but my biggest disappointment was my meager showing of pickling cucumbers. I think I have an addiction problem because I eat probably six to seven of them a day, not including pickles with my sandwich for lunch and then cukes on my salad at dinner.
I'm lucky that my job takes me all over the area in the course of the day so I can pop into Tendercrop Farm in Newbury or Cider Hill Farm in Amesbury for my fill of the crunchy green gourd, botanically speaking. I love half-sour pickles and have bought some over the years at the local supermarkets, Ba-Tampte or Nathan's brand. I like them when they have the bright, clean shade of green and before they turn an olive color.
So instead of waiting for them to come in fresh, I've decided to make my own. They're real easy, and I usually have two batches going to assure I don't run out.
Half-Sour Pickles
Someone once mentioned that these aren't really pickles, just cucumbers that have been threatened. These aren't meant to be processed by hot water bath and jarred, they're meant to be eaten fresh and will last two or three weeks in the fridge. Make sure you use pure salt, sold as pickling salt. Some sea salts may be alright, if there are no additives, such as iodine, which can discolor the pickles.

The Rev. Al Sharpton says he's making plans to spend a few months in Chicago to work on anti-violence efforts.
He was in Chicago Sunday to talk at a prominent West Side church that's led anti-violence initiatives, including day camps.
Sharpton tells The Associated Press he'll return in September, rent an apartment and work with the Rev. Ira Acree of Greater St. John Bible Church.
Sharpton is gearing up for the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington this August.
The head of the National Action Network says he doesn't know his exact focus but that there are lessons other cities can learn. He says the idea is to give more attention to the problem. Sharpton plans to do his television appearances from the city, including as an MSNBC commentator.
In the 1960's, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. also rented an apartment in Chicago and led marches citywide.
Sharpton has been working with King's oldest son, Martin Luther King III.

A feature that allows Android users to authenticate themselves on Google websites without having to enter their account password can be abused by rogue apps to give attackers access to Google accounts, a security researcher showed Saturday at the Defcon security conference in Las Vegas.
The feature is called "weblogin" and works by generating a unique token that can be used to directly authenticate users on Google websites using the accounts they have already configured on their devices.
[ Learn how to secure your systems with the Web Browser Deep Dive PDF special report and Security Central newsletter, both from InfoWorld. ]
Weblogin provides a better user experience but can potentially compromise the privacy and security of personal Google accounts, as well as Google Apps accounts used by businesses, Craig Young, a researcher at security firm Tripwire, said during his talk.
Young created a proof-of-concept rogue app that can steal weblogin tokens and send them back to an attacker who can then use them in a Web browser to impersonate a victim on Google Apps, Gmail, Drive, Calendar, Voice and other Google services.
The app was designed to masquerade as a stock viewing app for Google Finance and was published on Google Play, with a description that clearly indicated it was malicious and shouldn't be installed by users.
During installation, the app asks for permission to find accounts on a device, use the accounts on a device and access the network. When run, it then displays another prompt asking for permission to access a URL that starts with "weblogin" and includes finance.google.com.
This secondary prompt is uninformative and most users are likely to accept the request, Young said.
If they do, a weblogin token is generated and the users are automatically signed in to the Google Finance website. However, at the same time, the token is siphoned off through an encrypted connection to a server controlled by the attacker.
The issue is that this weblogin token does not only work for Google Finance, but for all Google services, Young said.
For example, it can provide access to the victim's documents in Google Drive, emails in Gmail, calendar entries in Google Calendar, Google Web search history or potentially sensitive company data stored in Google Apps, the researcher said.
It can also be used to access a user's Google Play account and remotely install apps on his device or to access his accounts on third-party websites that support Google Federated Login.
If the user is an administrator for a company's Google Apps domain, the attack could compromise the company's entire Google Apps operation. The attacker would gain the ability to reset the passwords for other users on that Google Apps domain, create and modify privileges and roles, create and modify mailing lists, and even add new users with administrative privileges, the researcher said.
The issue was reported to Google in February and the company started blocking some of the things an attacker could do, Young said.
For example, an attacker authenticated via a weblogin token can no longer use the Google Takeout service to get a data dump for an entire Google Account and can no longer add new Google Apps users, although there is a workaround that still makes the latter action possible, Young said.
Young's app displays the weblogin permission prompt because it uses the standard Android API (application programming interface) to get the token. However, if the app used an exploit to get root privileges on the device, it would be able to grab the token without requiring user confirmation, he said.

A teen who was killed when, police said, the car she was in crashed into a pickup truck while her family was on the way home from a Halloween party was identified Friday.
The crash happened about 9:45 p.m. Thursday near the intersection of Coleman Street and Ann Road.
The teen was identified by the Clark County Coroner's Office as 17-year-old Savannah Mcinnis, of North Las Vegas. Her grandparents and her 2-year-old son were also injured during the crash.
According to North Las Vegas police, Mcinnis's grandfather was driving south on Coleman when his car traveled into the path of a pickup truck, traveling west on Ann Road. The pickup crashed into the driver's side of the car, they said.
Police said Mcinnis's grandparents and son were taken to a local hospital for treatment of their injuries, where the grandparents were listed in critical condition. The boy's injuries were not life-threatening, police said.
The driver of the pickup truck was not injured in the crash.
Earlier in the night, a woman was killed in an auto-pedestrian wreck on Fort Apache Road near Tompkins Avenue in Las Vegas. A child was also struck in a separate hit-and-run accident.

Now that we're even more sure than we were previously that college football will have a four-team playoff for 2014 and beyond, our attention now turns to what sort of four-team playoff we'll get. This is sort of what's been happening all week, but now it's all official-like.
We also know the order in which the various issues will be determined by each conference as they deliberate before meeting again in June:
First format will be hammered out. When and where games will be played. How teams are selected to be debated later, Larry Scott said.— Ralph D. Russo (@ralphDrussoAP) April 26, 2012
Semifinal games can either be played on campuses or at neutral sites. They can either incorporate certain bowl games or none at all. They could be put up for bid and tour the country. The title game itself could either land at a bowl or at a bid site.
The whole shebang can be scheduled to end on New Year's Day, as God clearly intended, or at some super strange time that makes no sense.
Selection could come down to a human committee, a revamped BCS computer system or some combination of the two. Conference championships could be a prerequisite for entry, or just any-ol'-body could be let in.
And, most importantly to the decision-makers, somebody's got to decide who gets what cut of money. But! Now we have some general sense of which debates are going to happen first.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by BillM403 Supernova Split Shorts not bloomers I purchased these runner shorts because I abhor the fashionable men's shorts these days at so many stores and websites, what I think of as bloomers. The Supernova inseam is short, as I prefer, and with the attached liner, the garment satisfies my gym needs, walking and running, and all about athletic need for sorts. The fit is accurate at large, and the drawstring secures the waist correctly. I am 6'1", 220 lb., and I like the feel, look and fit. I haven't evaluated the reflective safety decoration, due to winter conditions and use only during daylight in a gym, but I expect it works as advertised, just like the rest of the garment. The shipment came as predicted, in perfect shape as well. I'm quite satisfied with my purchase directly from Adidas. January 16, 2014

To the editor:
I'm sure you have seen the kids on the Sail GHS Team out in Gloucester Harbor having a great time racing in all weather throughout the year.
They work hard training throughout the fall and race hard in all weather during the spring. This year, they came in second in the state in their division — a huge accomplishment for this group which is led by Level II Sailing Coach Guy Fiero, his dedicated volunteers, Patti Page, Hillary Frye, Damon Cummings and fueled by generous donors and vigorous fund-raising to keep them afloat.
The Sail GHS Racing Team is open to any middle school and high school student on Cape Ann and is not exclusive to Gloucester High School. This is a free athletic program and begins when school starts and runs Monday through Thursday after school throughout the fall and starts up again for the racing season in the spring.
Sail GHS has been a huge part of my son's middle school experience, and I am very grateful for all of the hard work of these dedicated volunteers who freely share their time, knowledge, and passion for sailing with the youth of Cape Ann.
During the summer months, they offer Summer Sailing Clinics in their new, C 420 sailboats and even in their newly acquired Laser.
Kids with some sailing experience ages 10 and up are welcome. Classes meet at Gloucester Maritime Heritage Center and there is no need to pre-register! Just bring yourself, your friends, and your life jackets if you have them. Sailors should arrive promptly at 8 a.m. as space is limited. Sibling, multi-week, group, and need based discounts are available.
All proceeds from this ongoing fund-raiser go to Sail GHS, a nonprofit organization designed to help defray operating costs and provide the youth of Cape Ann and beyond with this wonderful sailing opportunity.
There are certainly plenty of fine choices of area yacht clubs, but Sail GHS may be a more affordable sailing option for families.
This is an exceptional program and an undiscovered gem, right in our backyard.
King Street Court, Rockport

The line is obvious. Ascend up fifty feet of less than vertical but often thin ice to a ledge, then breeze up some steps to a short vertical section that climbs past a rock horn, and then climb up the last short section to the top. The crux is either the odd-angled climbing sometimes needed to get around the rock horn on the second tier or the thinness of ice on the lower section.
One or two screws for the lower section and one or two for the crux should do you. Short screws are the rule, have I mentioned that it is often thin? It�s also a great solo but take a rope to rap, the scramble down is a pain.

PARIS — Saint-Etienne extended its perfect start to the season by rallying past Reims 3-1 in the French league on Sunday while Marseille had its first defeat by losing 2-0 to Montpellier.
Reims opened the scoring with an own goal from Saint-Etienne defender Loic Perrin in the 27th minute.
However, Saint-Etienne winger Max-Alain Gradel leveled by curling a free kick into the top corner in the 61st. Kevin Monnet-Paquet headed in a cross from Saint-Etienne striker Mevlut Erding in the 71st for a 2-1 lead. Erding sealed the win from close range in the 81st.
At Stade Velodrome, Montpellier winger Anthony Mounier beat the offside trap to score with a lob in the 19th. He set up the second goal with a low cross converted by Morgan Samson in the 69th.

April 27 boating safety seminar to focus on Jupiter InletWednesday, April 13th, 2011
The Jupiter Inlet District will host a boating safety seminar April 27 to discuss navigation of the Jupiter Inlet, personal watercraft safety and other topics.
This is a great idea for several reasons. The configuration of the inlet and the way waves break over sandbars near the mouth of the inlet changes with the seasons and the weather as sand moves north and south along the beach.
The Jupiter Inlet District monitors the movement of sand and can explain what some of the sand scenarios mean for boaters headed out the inlet.
The inlet can be especially treacherous during the winter, when big ocean swells stand up and break on sand bars. As with other inlets, outgoing tides pushing against the waves can add to the hazards.
That doesn't mean this is a bad inlet to navigate. It just means boaters need to know when to run it, how to run it and, on rare occasions, when not to attempt to run a boat through Jupiter Inlet.
To be sure, the deeper Lake Worth Inlet near the Port of Palm Beach is a better alternative on days when the weather makes running the inlet questionable.
Scheduled to speak at the April 27 seminar are representatives from the Florida Fish & Wildlife Conservation Commission, the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary, the Palm Beach Sail & Power Squadron, a local boat captain and the Town of Jupiter police department.
One of the reasons for the seminar: Veteran charterboat captain Tom Henry died after a strange accident in the inlet Sept. 3. Henry was coming into Jupiter Inlet in his 48-foot sport fishing boat, Waterdog, when the boat hit a wave, rolled hard to the left and threw him from the bridge.
Henry, who hit his head on the boat as he was being pitched out, died three days after the accident. He was 59.
The April 27 safety seminar is set for 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the Jupiter Community Center next to Jupiter Town Hall at 200 Military Trail.
It's free. For more information, call the Jupiter Inlet District at (561) 746-2223.

Will MI create a segregated school? Why? Why not?

Absolutely, either way it would serve all kids in Palo Alto equally. If choice, all kids would have an equal chance at the lottery for a slot matching their language (1/3 of slots reserved for native English speakers, 1/3 for native Mandarin speakers) and an equal chance at the lottery for the slots up for grabs (1/3). If charter, they'd aim for something similar.
The school may end up with a racial mix disproportionate to the district's mix. In that case, they'd have to show they're doing outreach.
Don't see what law could be used to challenge this or who would want to. The district's lawyer said explicitly that a choice school does not need to maintain any particular racial balance. S.F. tried imposing racial quotas to weed out Asians at Lowell, and look where that got them.

Parent - you are describing what they will do for Kindergarteners. How will they admit 3rd graders when they have turnover?
Do we turn away 3rd grade students that don't speak english from our regular PAUSD classrooms? Would that be legal? Would that be morally just?

Rosetta Stone announces copyright settlements
- May 5, 2011
- |
Rosetta Stone has reached settlements with 77 people for copyright and trademark infringements of its language-learning products.
The Arlington-based company said the settlements were with people who had copied, downloaded, shared and sold counterfeit Rosetta Stone software.
The settlements were reached in 73 cities in 27 states. They included cases in Arlington, Ashburn, Manassas, Manassas Park, Norfolk, Richmond, Sterling, Virginia Beach and Woodbridge.
"Consumers need to be aware of the dangers of software piracy, including the risks of identity theft, malware, spyware and defective software," Michael Wu, general counsel and corporate secretary for Rosetta Stone, said in a statement.
The company is advising consumers to contact Rosetta Stone if they question the authenticity of a product being offered by emailing email@example.com. "Remember, if a price looks too good to be true, it probably is," Wu said.
Rosetta Stone is urging Congress to pass legislation to fight websites that sell counterfeit products.
"We believe that any rogue website legislation must empower the U.S. Department of Justice to prevent online search engines from selling paid advertisements to rogue websites," Wu said. "There is no good reason why search engines should continue to transact with criminals and facilitate the rampant theft of American intellectual property."
Rosetta Stone has filed a lawsuit against Google for trademark infringement for selling keywords that advertised counterfeit products. The company has appealed a lower court's ruling in favor of Google.

Endurance Club On Horseland
Dear Horseland, You have already given us so much with this site, and we thank-you. There are many clubs already in Horseland, and with the number of players gradually increasing we know clubs are too. Many young people learn so much about horses and types of riding from Horseland, Horseland is really a learning experience, whilst having fun. As Endurance riding is something many people are involved in and have as part of their life, we think an Endurance club should be part of Horseland too. We think its important other players can know and understand about it.

PHOENIX (AP) - The manager of the light rail that serves the Phoenix area is urging workers to continue with contract negotiations.
The general manager of Alternate Concepts Inc., Bruce Browne, says there has never been work stoppage in the company's 20-year history and there's no reason to break that streak.
His comments came Monday after learning that Valley Metro workers voted to authorize the Amalgamated Transit Union to call a strike.
The union says it has tried to communicate with ACI but hasn't received a response. It contends that union members are happy to continue bargaining but that the employer has demanded an end date of Dec. 31.
ACI says there's no hard deadline and that it will try to reach an agreement. It also says it will work with Valley Metro officials on a contingency plan should workers walk off the job.

I agree I would gladly give up strawberries to close our boarders.

Above is an example of the disemination of false information with a lot of pathos in order to get a spur out of its readers. Fast food and hospitality industry employers must file an I-9 form with the US Dept of Justice to prove that all of its employees are legally in the US. So, saying that immigrants are taking the jobs that our teenagers used to work is purely false. And anyway, those teenagers should be at home studying and getting smart instead of frying junk food. Americans taking second jobs is a problem with our system. Fixing it is going to take more than just accepting that we need to take second jobs. Also, what second jobs are the immigrants taking away from Americans? The insecure day-laborer jobs? The nanny jobs? The organic farming jobs in the Central Valley? Yes, something must be done about illegal immigrants. But using the similar scare tactics used by the Bush administration to get us in Iraq is not the way we should be handling it.

Sue--You are so right to bring up the fact that the children of the illegal immigrants will be voting in our country. They are the generation of "YES WE CAN!" Yes, they can change our laws! Yes, many feel they are entitled to everything and more! The middle class struggle to send their kids to college (and many can't) and the illegals want a free college education! This is a true story -- I knew a lady who was here illegally and her children (3) were born here. She received Medi-Cal, food stamps and federally-subsidized housing (Section 8) for the children (and ultimately, herself--because she was living with them). When the oldest was ready to start school, she and her sister were going to return to Mexico. She explained to me that they needed to go to the Mexican Consul in San Francisco to obtain a Mexican birth certificate. I asked, how can you get a Mexican birth certificate, if, they were born in the USA? She said I'll just tell them that I had the baby in a house in Mexico with no doctor. Then I asked WHY she would need to do that. She explained that--get this!--if you are an AMERICAN you would have to PAY for your child's education in Mexico! That really burned me up!! I couldn't believe it -- doesn't anybody check? We can do a credit check in a couple of seconds...you would think there would be way to check on fraud like this!

The next big "eat moar" thread should just be "EAT MOAR!!"
Thread content:
"Because food is delicious."
Journal on depression/anxiety
Currently trying to figure out WTF to eat (for IBS-C).
somehow I manage to leave my intelligence and decorum at the door wherever I go. I doubt your journal will be an exception to that - not on the rug
What the F&#* is a decorum? - Mr. Anthony
Then there'd be the spinoffs to the EAT MOAR thread, such as Eat Moar - Is this normal?!?:
"I've been eating 2-3 times as much food as I had been when my weight was at a plateau and everything is OK except I have extremely large bowel movements. Has anyone else experienced this??? Every last one a clogger. It's like giving birth to a python twice a day. Plus, my weight varies wildly. Like, I won't be able to buckle my belt, but then I drop a deuce and it's all good again, and I notice that my before and after weight is about 5 pounds different. Could this all be poop weight? This is a serious inquiry, I am not here to be mocked and ridiculed. Don't act like you don't poop, if you didn't you'd have tonsil turds and the shit backup would poison you. I had a friend Kenny who didn't poop for 3 months, they weren't sure why laxatives didn't work, although Kenny would often accidentally eat a lot of synthetic fibers and fabrics (it was a compulsion of his), anyway Kenny died so it's not funny at all, his breath in his last few days was like raw sewage and he couldn't think clearly, he was sure Elvis was guiding him to a spaceship, a mothership that he said was hidden in the asteroid belt.
"But anyway, so far the Eat Moar diet has worked pretty well for me, when I'm not up 5 pounds in poop weight my baseline weight seems to have dropped about a pound a day. Thanks for your help, everyone!"
A moment of silence for poor Kenny
great stuff FW

Nicosia, known locally as Lefkosia (Greek: Λευκωσία, Turkish: Lefkoşa), is the capital and largest city of Cyprus. It is located on the River Pedieos and situated almost in the centre of the island, it is the seat of government as well as the main business centre. Nicosia is the capital of the Nicosia District. Following the intercommunal violence of the 1960s, the capital was divided between the island's Greek Cypriot and Turkish Cypriot communities in the south and north respectively. An attempted coup to unite the island with Greece in 1974 led to a Turkish invasion, leaving the capital divided since then, with Turkish Cypriots claiming the north as the capital of their own state, Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC) (recognised only by Turkey). On 3 April 2008, as part of efforts to reunify the island, a symbolic wall dividing the two communities at Ledra Street was opened. South of the Green Line, the population of the city is 270,000 (late 2004), while a further 84,893 live in the north.[1] Nicosia is important commercially with many shops, two modern shopping malls, restaurants and entertainment. The city is a trade centre and manufactures textiles, leather, pottery, plastic, and other products. Copper mines are nearby. Nicosia is the seat of the University of Cyprus (UCY) and four other universities.

Hopefully the teacher can follow up with a survivor of Chairman Mao purge of counterrevolutionaries in the 50s and 60s which took the lives of millions.
on Jun 6, 2012 at 8:57 am
It would be further edifying if the students now heard from a survivor of the Gaza death camp, in order that they might gain insight into the appalling ironies that abound in human history. The true horror of the Holocaust is that it was in no way unique. This country was founded on a much more successful genocide. I hope that the students are learning about that, as well. The only way to prevent future genocides is to recognize the universal human tendency to demonize the "other."
A study of the Nuremberg trials would be an excellent lesson, given that the USA is now in violation of every one of the Nuremberg protocols.
on Jun 6, 2012 at 9:18 am
The Bosnia and Rwanda genocides should also be given attention.
on Jun 7, 2012 at 1:39 pm
@Old Ben: Gaza death camp? Ludicrous doesn't begin to describe such an absurd assertion.
You are diminishing the horror of the Nazi death camps where human hair was gathered from
victims to make bomb fuses and to be woven into fabric, where infants and the invalid were thrown alive into fire pits, where twins were subjected to horrific "medical" experimentation.
Have you ever been anywhere near Gaza, or are you spouting such vicious and ignorant accusations from the comfort and security of your armchair?
on Jun 7, 2012 at 2:59 pm
Let us not forget the 20 + million Christians executed during the Russian Revolution.
How many died in Armenia, Croatia, Africa holocausts. If we want to educate future generations about mankind's in- humanity, you have to give them the Whole Picture of what people have done to each other, time and time again.
on Jun 7, 2012 at 3:11 pm
I am so glad we are so passionate about making sure everyone remembers and learns from these human atrocities.
Why must there be a competition among you? I was interested in the story of the women who endured the Holocaust and I would be interested in the stories of these other human tragedies.
Please take a break everyone and recognize that we all need to take responsibility so none of these experiences happen. One is certainly not more important than another, but why must you all minimize the student's experience by suggesting that the class did not hear the whole picture unless the school or teacher presents your particular point of view?
on Jun 7, 2012 at 9:54 pm
definition of "nonegenarian," please.
on Jun 7, 2012 at 10:43 pm
Sarah, I believe you're looking for "nonagenarian", describing "someone in their nineties."
"Your neighbor" speaks wisely.

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. – Seeking its ninth straight title, the Jacksonville University track & field team started off solid on day one of the two-day Atlantic Sun Indoor Championships on Friday, Feb. 21. Jacksonville leads with 70 points, followed by Kennesaw State and ETSU (34), Lipscomb (27) and USC Upstate (26) rounding out the top five.
"It was the strongest first day we have ever had," said Head Coach Ron Grigg. "We started with some injury and illness adversity to start the day, but then we got on a very nice roll. We plan to have a similar effort tomorrow."
Stormm Phillips and Petra Munkacsy earned first and second, respectively, in the indoor pentathlon, as Phillips earned 3,474 points and Munkacsy recorded 3,198 points.

Shanique Walker recorded a conference and school record in the 60-meter hurdles prelims, crossing in 8.27 seconds. The finals will take place tomorrow.
Taylor Story also gave a great performace in the high jump, setting a new JU record in her second-place finish. Story reached 1.74m (5-08.50), besting the previous from 2011 (5-07.75).
In the 3,000-meter run, Svenja Meyer crossed in 9:58.19 for fifth, while Caitlin Marino earned 12th in 10:41.66.

Museum of Fine Arts, Boston
The William I. Koch Gallery at the Museum of Fine Arts Boston was renovated and rehung this summer. The room now has red damask covering the formerly bare marble walls, rail guards to protect the art, a new display of silver pieces, and a reorganization of the paintings. The room now seems "more focused."
David L Ryan / Globe Staff
The Koch gallery displays Hanoverian silver from the MFA's holdings, paintings, and four 17th-century tapestries from the Palazzo Barberini in Rome.
The "Allegory of Man's Choice between Virtue and Vice" by Frans Francken II, about 1635
"Boar Hunt" by Frans Snyders, 1625
A wine pot by Friedrich Kettwyck (active in 1643-1670, is one of about 130 pieces of silver displayed in the gallery.
"Saint Catherine of Alexandria at Prayer" byTitian, about 1488.
"Isabella, Lady de La Warr" by Anthony van Dyck, about 1638, is a newly installed piece in the Koch gallery. Until recently, the painting was in storage, badly in need of care, at the MFA.
Many were involved in the year-long restoration of "Isabella, Lady de La Warr."
Rhona MacBeth, the Eijk and Rose-Marie van Otterloo Conservator of Paintings and Head of Paintings Conservation, makes final adjustments to the restoration.
"Isabella, Lady de La Warr," receiving final restoration touches, is one of 40 paintings in the Koch gallery.

Routes Sorted
L to R R to L Alpha
This route is a classic moderate climb that is well protected and has some great moves and a spectacular and unique finish. It starts on a slabby face and climbs around some small caves and up a large colorful water streak into a grassy cave perched high above the ground. You have several options to build an anchor in this cave. However, the nature of the route (like most of the routes in Pine Canyon) dictate that you bring gear to build your own anchor. A few cams .75" - 2" should do the trick. The second pitch is short but interesting and fun. You climb through a small squeeze chimney (protected by two bolts) which burrows through the back of the cave and out the back side. You emerge from a small hole on the back side of the Rock of Ages and set up a belay by walking down the hill a few yards and sitting down. There are no anchors here but by sitting down you will see that this is a good enough anchor because there is no way anyone is going to pull you through that hole. The lack of bolted anchors on a sport climb deters some people form climbing this route. They don't understand why a sport route would not have a more convenient method of anchoring. This is the nature of Pine Canyon. Bolts are not placed in many area's where they are not needed, usually for anchors. I think this adds to the quality and uniqueness of the place. Pine Canyon has some of the oldest routes in the Bay Area, and this is certainly one of them. It also has the best quality of rock in the canyon.
This is one of the easier climbs to locate. It is highly visible by the presence of the large cave half way up the climb. Start directly below the cave and follow the bolts up. The base of this route is one of the cooler places to hang out in the hot summer months. However the climb is still brutally hot when the temps rise above 90. Best head to Tahoe on those hot days.
10 Quickdraws. Cams, 1-2ea. .75"-2"

Length: 11' 4" - Width: 30.00" - Starting at: $499.00See More Details about this Kayak
I have not gotten it in the water yet but was disappointed that when carried by the side handle the weight is not balanced.. the nose dives into the ground and it seams much heavier than the typhoon. On the plus side I like that it has a flat nose with handle on both ends. I can't wait to get it in the water and see how it handles.
I did get it up stream and coming back down through the main current found that it was very easy to steer and control. It was a bit disconcerting with my 240# frame so close to the water surface, but I grew used to it quickly. As I got more bold, I found that the kayak responded well in bumpy or still water. At the end of the test, coming back into camp, I tried a few eddy turns. I've not paddled a kayak that took an eddy turn more easily - and I used to paddle a WaveSport Diesel. That surprised me - a lot.
I rate it well for how easy it is to paddle. I think novices could be trusted to take this boat out and have a good, safe time with it. I didn't rate it higher because there's no attachment points for thigh straps. I don't suppose with the molded in seat back that a back strap is necessary. Also, scuppers would have improved the rating.
This is a fantastic shallow water/rock bottom river sled that still tracks extremely well in deep water and had a good glide as well. We are living out a major drought this year and water is limited so this boat shines even more the hull is almost bulletproof. She has bounced it off some serious granite boulders and it bounces well!
I myself like to drop in the molded cockpit and relax in it as well. I am six foot three and 250 lbs and it fits me as well as her five foot seven body. We have let other novice family members take it down river and they all love it because its stable, easy to control and just plain relaxing.
I too would like to see a drier seat with the addition of scuppers but not if its going to sacrifice any the durability the Riviera has to currently offer.
Final note: if you are considering kayaks for the family try out a Riviera first, comfortable, maintenance free, durable, stackable and priced right.
