Suggestions for Contributors
Don't Send Us Fuzzy Shots!
Instead, give us photos that are, by any measure, ''tack sharp.'' Every day we see otherwise great shots precluded from use by being too ''soft.'' There's just not much point in sending any images that are not sharp — check them yourself with an 8X loupe (and with as critical an eye as possible!).
Avoid Inanimate "Grin & Grab" Shots
Send us images of people animated as they hold fresh (preferably lively) but not bloody fish. Counteract the dreaded Zombie Stare Syndrome. Have subject interacting with someone else if available. (Have 'em hold fish together and look at/talk to each other — while forgetting the camera even exists; suggest one tell the other a joke or ''explain'' about the fish — anything to get subject loose, happy, natural.) If subject alone, suggest interaction with the fish — hook removal, lifting from deck, even admiring it (looking at it, not you). Avoid dead fish in such photos — take 'em quick when the fish is in the boat and lively, before it's clubbed or languishes to a pale, glassy-eyed state of rigor mortis. Finally, do try to keep the angler's tackle in the shot!
Watch Out for Shots of Big Fish Held Vertically Before Release (as on deck with a Boga Grip)
Recent research has indicated that doing this may damage the vertebrae of big fish (e.g. tarpon, snook, redfish, salmon); better if you can have anglers holding such fish horizontally — or of course still mostly in the water.
Avoid Kill Shots of Billfish and Bluewater Sharks!
DO Send us exciting, in-focus shots of leaping, tailwalking, greyhounding fish or fish being wired for tagging or being released or admired at the boat. But skip the traditional dead stuff — hanging at the dock, draped over the transom, bleeding on deck — or anything with a gaff in it. ''Kill'' shots of other, food fish okay if — you should pardon the expression — tasteful. But that doesn't include piles of fish on deck or dock — sport, not carnage, is what we're after. Gaffs are not unacceptable, but generally not particularly desirable, either.
Avoid Bloody Shots of Fish at/in the Boat
Shoot alive and lively fish but dip 'em or wipe 'em (or shoot the ''clean'' side) if dripping blood.
Think Boats
Surveys show our national/international affluent readership owns and fishes from boats. Accordingly, we rarely have much interest in photos of fishing from piers, surf, jetties, etc.
Avoid Shadow-Darkened Shots
Give us shots liberal with use of fill flash under high sun or backlit conditions; try to avoid faces black from shadows of fishing caps.
Don't Limit Submissions to Fish/Fishing Alone
Have an eye to all things related to fish/fishing, viz: rigging, technique (gear/action), baits, lures, equipment, diving birds, weather, water (color/rips/ weedlines), feeding schools, schools of baitfish (and catching them), other boats fishing/ running, Bimini starts, etc, etc. Also, don't hesitate to photograph any/all nearshore/offshore species, gamefish or others, including those that are unusual.
Sport Fishing covers emphasize fish — fish leaping, underwater, at the surface, on a line out of the water and so on. That may include anglers interacting with fish — fighting fish, releasing or tagging fish and the like. Most saltwater gamefish may qualify. Focus must be laser-sharp to retain its quality when enlarged 1,200 percent. The dominant image must fill most of the frame to minimize amount of enlargement necessary e.g. a jumping fish that's a dot on the horizon won't make it). And of course there must be room at the top for the logo and along the left side (often shots may be flopped) for cover blurbs. See ''Cover Photo Tips'' below.
Other Suggestions
If shooting slides, stick with a high-quality low-grain film — such as Fujichrome or Provia 100 (Velvia 50 for nonaction shots in bright light) or Kodachrome-64 and Lumiere; Shutter speeds for moving fish should be at least 1/1000-second. Bracket a stop or two up/down when time permits and try for both horizontals and verticals. Compose to keep the fish as main focus of most shots and to avoid extraneous objects and background (or foreground) clutter in frame (also avoid clothing with nasty/racist/sexist inferences). If shooting digitally, certainly use the highest possible setting, including RAW if possible (as discussed above).
Packaging Submissions
Make sure that every slide has — at the very least! — your name on it. Otherwise, return can't be guaranteed. Words of description (area, species, etc.) written right on the slide can be of great help.
If sending slides/other images in one package targeting two or more articles, please places slides in a separate sheet (or sheets) for each different article and mark the sheet accordingly.
Brief captions written on each image are helpful; if no information is written on images, a sheet of captions is essential - and, in any event, always welcome/useful. (However: please make sure your slides are numbered to match your caption sheet. Too many photographers offer a numbered caption sheet to match the order of slides in the sheets but in use, inevitably some slides get pulled, shuffled around (often weeks later) and then the caption sheet offers little sure insight.
If sending digital images via CD, again, please include JPGS for review along with RAW files plus a color hardcopy printout of thumbnails.
Make sure you have on file with Sport Fishing a current contract or our accounting department will not issue payment. (If you need to be contacted, contact managing editor Stephanie Pancratz, email@example.com.)
Payment will be issued to the first name on the slide (stock agency or photographer) or CD unless other payment arrangements are specified .
If any of the images submitted have appeared (or will appear) in any potentially competing publication, please make that clear. (This doesn't necessarily preclude us from choosing it, but it's good to know.)

Dear Editor,
The recent events in Connecticut have shaken us all, making us realize just how precious a young life is and how we have a great responsibility to protect it. This tragedy is a parent's and an educator's worst nightmare.
While parents have always carefully dropped their children off at school or to the bus stop, they may now hesitate, taking one last moment to hug or kiss their child before they send him or her along the way. School employees are now more alert and aware of unusual people and sounds, and law enforcement officers and first responders are extra watchful in protecting those they serve.
Though national headlines have alarmed us, we should be reminded that school violence of this magnitude is very rare. It's natural to question school safety in the aftermath of such a terrible tragedy, but the reality is that our schools are still one of the safest places a child can be, and it's because of deliberate efforts made by our school system. It's easy to lose sight of that as we see and hear the sad stories of young children and teachers who were lost too soon.
The fact is, Fulton County Schools works continually to improve its safety measures so that students and staff members are afforded the safest learning environments possible. This was occurring before the Connecticut tragedy and it will continue every day afterward. We know that learning and teaching cannot happen if students and teachers do not feel safe in their classroom.
Like many school systems, Fulton County Schools has a well-qualified internal police force with 65 officers that are specially trained to work with students and serve their unique needs. Each school also has a regularly practiced safety plan, which includes locking exterior doors and requiring visitors to sign in upon arrival and exit. In addition, comprehensive video surveillance systems help keep students and staff safe, inside the school and out, and the recently-passed SPLOST sales tax is providing new technology to allow instant background checks of all volunteers.
But the truth is, school safety is not limited to installing additional cameras, locking more doors or having an officer inside every school. School safety is part of our everyday activities, such as when students, teachers and staff are mindful of their surroundings and are quick to report anything unusual. It's when safety drills – whether for fire, severe weather or intruders – are practiced throughout the year. It's when school staff is prepared to render CPR and other life-saving aid.
It's reasonable to desire increased security at every school, but we must find a balance between providing stronger security measures and keeping the school an engaging place that is conducive to learning and teaching. We must be diligent in our heightened awareness, yet not be hyper-vigilant to the point that we overcorrect our processes and overreact.
Our context of school safety has changed, and so must the conversation around it. Now, more than ever, our school leaders, mental health care professionals, community advocates, and political leaders must come together and focus on what is right for our children. School safety will be strongest when it is no longer a buzz word in the media but is instead the shared focus of our entire community.
Our hearts grieve with the Sandy Hook Elementary School community. There are many lessons yet to be learned from this sad event, but some are ones we already know within our hearts. Life can be fleeting and the future is unforeseen. As our schools shutter their doors for the winter break, please spend these precious extra days with your family. Rejoice in your traditions, create new memories, and know that your children are loved and cared for by those in the Fulton County School System.
Robert Avossa, Ed.D.

LOGAN, W.Va. (AP) -- Logan County school officials have hired a private investigator to look into the circumstances surrounding the suspension of a middle school student who wore a National Rifle Association T-shirt to school.
WCHS-TV reports that eighth-grader Jared Marcum received a one-day suspension last month for causing a disruption at the school.
Allen Larieris has said his stepson was waiting in line in the school cafeteria when a teacher ordered him to remove the T-shirt or turn it inside out.
In a news release, school officials say they hired an independent investigator to ensure a complete, objective evaluation of the situation. The investigator's report is expected soon.
Superintendent Wilma Zigmond also noted that shirts that depict guns or promote the NRA are not expressly forbidden by school policy.

Torres is one of the newest canine's on the Chattanooga Police force.
He's training through the day to earn his certification, going through real world scenarios any officer could face.
Unlike officers in the field who usually pack a car full of gear, including a bullet proof vest, Torres goes into action with just his instincts.
Master Patrolman Barry Vradenburgh trains Torres and says, "That's the scary part is they just head into it. Someone may be hiding in a building with a weapon."
Many police dogs cost nearly $20,000 to train plus the cost of extra equipment.
Robin Scott is looking to lighten the load on the force's budget.
She started the group "Invest In K9" after watching a video of an officer who lost his police dog in a shootout.
She says dogs like Torres needs to wear a vest, just like the officers.
"They do a great service to our community. Not just with keeping the drugs down, but apprehending felons. They also help keep the officers alive."
Vradenburgh says he hasn't lost any dogs to violence in the past 18 years, but he knows the danger they face. The vests would help reduce some of that danger.
"It covers a large part of their body. Down their chest, each flank, and the top of the dog."
Scott's goal is to outfit all 11 dogs, even the non-patrol dogs, with vests, and in just three months she has purchased three vests.
"I am so overwhelmed by what I have received and I am excited that so many people care."
Each vest costs close to $900.

First, they listened to testimony from Gov. Jerry Brown, CTA members and more than 300 other witnesses. Then – as the governor, CTA, and most other witnesses urged-- the State Board of Education voted Thursday afternoon to adopt emergency regulations that will provide local school districts with a template and other instructions on how to implement the state's new Local Control Funding Formula.
These regulations aim to ensure that districts focus needed attention on the three groups of costly-to-educate students at whom the supplemental and concentration grant elements of the LCFF are targeted: English learners, foster youth, and students living at or below the poverty line.
Read more »
Gov. Jerry Brown surprised the State Board of Education and members of the audience by showing up at the Thursday morning hearing on the regulations about the Local Control Funding Formula.
The governor declared that he is "bullish on California schools" and urged the school board to maintain the flexibility that is currently in the draft regulations so that imagination can be paired with rigor. He warned against making the regulations so restrictive that they force "rigor mortis" on schools.
During the final days of the 2013 legislative year and prior to the October 13 deadline for his signing or vetoing bills, Gov. Jerry Brown acted in concert with CTA recommendations on 73 measures.
The governor signed a number of vital CTA-backed bills that will help protect student safety, improve student testing and assessment, and make it easier for voters to approve parcel taxes for schools. At CTA's urging, he also vetoed measures that would have reduced Proposition 98 school funding and made it more difficult for districts to gain funding for their English learners.
AB 86, Education Trailer Bill, Details Actions Affecting Schools
Gov. Jerry Brown is slated to unveil his updated budget proposal – the May Revision – at a Capitol news conference beginning at 10AM on Tuesday, according to a media advisory from the governor's press office.
Legislators have been convening in both the regular session and in a special session. Gov. Jerry Brown called the special session to pave the way for enrollment in Covered California, the first-in-the-nation health benefits exchange created to implement the Obama administration's Affordable Care Act (ACA).

SARANAC — Don't be fooled by the 1-0 score.
It could have just as easily been 4-3.
That's how fantastic Saranac's Jamie Favreau and Beekmantown's Lauren O'Connor played in net Wednesday night.
Ellen Thew tallied the only goal of the game in the Chiefs' win in a Northern Soccer League Division I girls' soccer showdown.
"It was a great game to be part of," Saranac coach Mary LoTemplio said. "We knew Beekmantown was going to put up a good fight — they have a proud history of success and we knew we would have to take it from them.
"Both teams played very well and gave it their best."
Favreau and O'Connor, however, were the stars of the contest. Both made numerous outstanding saves.
Favreau, in fact, came off her line to stop Beekmantown breakaways in the first and second half against the speedy Eagle forwards, led by Kallie Villemaire.
"When I come off my line like that, I can't hesitate," Favreau said. "I'm going hard for the ball and can't be scared."
The only goal came at the 29:00 mark of the opening half.
Kayla Napper took a shot on goal that O'Connor made a sliding save on. But a scramble ensued on the rebound and Thew was in front to give Saranac the lead.
"That's just about the only way you're going to score on her (O'Connor)," LoTemplio said.
Players on both teams, not just the keepers, turned in stellar performance in a back-and-forth contest that didn't lack for excitement.
"I would have to say the two goalies were the standouts in the game," LoTemplio said. "But the players on both teams were at their best (Wednesday).
"It was still a good team effort for us and I can't single out players. That wouldn't be fair with how well everyone played."
"It was a team effort," Favreau said. "We had to score to win the game."
It was a huge win for the Chiefs (9-0, 7-0) in the Division I standings. Saranac had defeated the Eagles, 1-0, earlier in the season.
"That puts us two games up on Beekmantown, which is right behind us," LoTemplio said. "That gives us a good chance to win the division if we can finish the job against the rest of the teams we play."
"Without a doubt, it was a big win," Favreau said. "If we would have lost, we would have to kick butt the rest of the way."
Saranac 1, Beekmantown 0
Beekmantown 0 0 — 0
Saranac 1 0 — 1
First half- 1, Sar, Thew (Napper), 29:00.
Shots: Saranac 12, Beekmantown 10.
Saves: Favreau, Sar, 8. O'Connor, Beek, 9.

By Shawn Regan
---- — HAVERHILL — City Councilors joined a dozen residents at last night's meeting in blasting the state for ruining the neighborhood behind Bradford's Central Square, hurting businesses there and creating dangerous conditions for drivers, pedestrians and school children.
At issue was the state's decision to turn a 500-foot stretch of South Central Street into a one-way road, leading away from the square.
The change, which the council voted three times to oppose before it was implemented in May, has forced people who live on narrow residential streets behind the square to find alternate ways to get to Route 125, flooding the neighborhood with traffic. The new traffic includes dozens of school buses from Coppola Bus company on South Central Street. The buses can no longer use South Central to reach Route 125.
"The school buses have no choice now but to go up our narrow street, where they get stuck idling in traffic," said Dan Fedock of 58 S. Chestnut St. "It's a shame the people who live here didn't get a say in the changes."
Margie Murphy, 34 S. Chestnut St., said the neighbors had an agreement for many years with the bus company that the buses would stay off the residential roads, but she conceded the buses have no alternative now. Murphy also said the city installed a sign in 1991 prohibiting trucks from the road.
"But the trucks are back," Murphy said. "An 18-wheeler went by my house at 9:30 last night. Everyone is upset about what's going on."
Restricting traffic to one-way on South Central Street was part of the state's reconstruction of Route 125, which included redesigning and rebuilding Central Square for improved traffic flow.
State officials said keeping South Central Street two ways, once the new traffic lights there was activated, would have caused Route 125 to back up all the way to Salem Street near Bradford Common during peak traffic times in the afternoon.
Neighbors and councilors disagreed. They said the new traffic flow had led to more congestion in and around the square, as well as dangerous driving conditions.
Sandra O'Day, 4 Central Ave., said there's been at a lot more traffic in the neighborhood since the change.
"I stood here twice before and said this would happen," O'Day said. "People going to (Basiliere) Bridge are using these small streets as a short cut because the state has messed up the square so bad. But this isn't a convenience issue, it's a safety issue."
Several people voiced concern about what it's going to be like when Sacred Hearts School at 31 S. Chestnut St. opens next week, and when winter storms choke the already narrow back-roads with snow.
Councilors said they lobbied the state not to change South Central to one-way traffic, but that transportation officials ignored the city's pleas.
"It's a poorly planned, poorly designed, poorly constructed project by the state," Councilor William Ryan said. "And the state isn't listening to us or doing anything about it."
Ryan said he expects the situation to get much worse when school starts, both at Sacred Hearts and Haverhill Public Schools.
"More and more people are going to go through this neighborhood to avoid Central Square, which is a mess," Ryan said, adding that will also hurt the businesses in the square. "It's disgusting to see how the city and our businesses are being treated by the state. ...We should march on the Statehouse and get the governor out here to see what his transportation people have done to the people of Haverhill."
Nelson Blinn, the owner of the bus company, said he's also worried for the safety of children who attend Sacred Hearts School this winter. Blinn said he has already witnessed several accidents since the traffic flow was changed.
"When there are snow banks, it's going to be much worse," Blinn said. "Who are people in Boston to say we have to make South Central one way when everyone of us knew this would happen?"
Fred Malcolm, who owns an insurance company in South Central Street, said just about every customer who comes in his business tells him the changes to the traffic flow are ridiculous. Malcolm told councilors that the residents are looking for direction on what to do.
"I will put energy into this fight, but I need guidance on what to do," he said. "Do you need 750 signatures? What's it going to take?"
Councilor William Macek said the city will have some control over South Central Street when the state finishes the Route 125 project in November. But he said the state is not likely to allow the city to convert the road back to two ways unless it has traffic data to support doing so.
"The state has data that says if the road is two way or the traffic light is eliminated, the traffic (on Route 125) is going to back up all the way to Salem Street," Macek said. "We need data to show the change has made conditions and safety worse."
After the discussion, councilors agreed to ask Mayor James Fiorentini to appoint a committee to develop traffic data and to document problems the new traffic flow has caused. They said they will ask the mayor to contact top state transportation officials and Gov. Deval Patrick to advise them how the changes to Central Square have affected residents and businesses there.
Macek said he wants the state to allow South Central Street to go back to two ways for a short test period, to see if Route 125 backs up like the state's traffic experts have said it would.
"I'm fairly convinced the nightmare the state predicts, with traffic backing up to Salem Street, won't happen," Macek said.
Councilor John Michitson said the council and the neighbors need to get the mayor on their side to have any chance of success.
"In the past, the mayor was not on our side," Michitson said. "So the state ignored us."

Students admitted to the program are expected to take advantage of the program components that have been developed to enhance their skills in reading, writing, speaking, mathematics, and critical thinking, as well as to help them in their transition from high school to college. The Academic Development Program comprises a series of required courses supplemented by specialized tutoring, counseling, scheduling, and advising.
The program begins with intensive, five-week preparatory courses during the summer that students must complete. Developmental course work is credit-bearing, but these credits are not applicable toward graduation.
Students in the program are also required to complete the following courses: WRT 120, SPK 208, and EDR 100, all of which should be taken as soon as possible after completion of summer requirements. All of these courses satisfy University requirements for graduation. Students will be advised on the completion of general education requirements and, as necessary, on the transition into a major course of study.

Pre-Major Academic Advising Center
Location: 222 Lawrence Center
Phone: 610-436-3505
The Pre-Major Academic Advising Center (PMAA) provides support to undergraduate students prior to admission to an academic major.

Pre-major students are encouraged to take prerequisite courses in their intended major and/or courses in a particular major program because of implied interests. Pre-major academic advisers assist students in interpreting University and departmental policies and requirements, as well as with appropriate course selection. They also make referrals and discuss vocational and career interests.
Together, the adviser and the student develop an educational plan of sound strategies for success.
The Pre-Major Advising Center is located in Room 222, Lawrence Center. Contact the center at 610-436-3305 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

November Music Month: Dance with me pretty boy tonight
The Pipettes: Pull Shapes (2006)
I have no defining memories relating to this song but once heard (and seen) it is never forgotten. Total pop joy and it turned up again in one of my favourite comics of recent years. Yes, Phonogram was great and the Pull Shapes issue of volume 2 is available in the trade paperback (Amazon link) if you like that sort of thing. You really should like that sort of thing.
The Pipettes returned for album number two after a bit of a regeneration into a more 80′s influenced band and are now in limbo. Shame. Both albums are very good and you could even push the boat out by listening to them while reading the Phonogram books. Eagle-eyed sorts might notice that my blog logo at the time of posting is another Gillen / McKelvie comic book panel, as it seemed appropriate to my 'manifesto' (I do not have a manifesto).

It's become an end of summer tradition to go to a Redhawks (OKC's minor league team) game and eat at coaches each summer with my family and friends. We meet up here for some good eats and a night of baseball.
As for the craft brews, I personally like the Sooner Stout and the IPA. While neither one of these knock it out of the park, they're both good for a singe or a double.
The food is good and filling, with a typical array of pizza, ribs, burgers, chicken and sandwiches. I always get the BBQ combo platter and have a couple of brews to get me ready for the ballgame, where I grab some good Boulevard brews and settle in for a nice nite of baseball.
The service is always exceptional, and you would have to be pretty particular to find serious fault with anything about this place. There are many places to choose from to eat in Bricktown, but if you're going to a Redhawks game, Coaches is very convenient, and works well if you have group of people you need to please.

Great location by the minor league ball park in Bricktown. My husband and I visited on a quiet Saturday afternoon. Various games were tuned in and we picked a spot at the bar facing the huge multi screen tv. The bartender was knowledgeable and service was great. Beers were two bucks. My only complaint was being served a frosted glass. Well, I don't like ice in my beer.
As far as the beers go, the best was a specialty beer, called Oak Aged IPA. I was pretty impressed. IPA is my favorite beer and this was super hoppy and had a nice balance to it. A little toasty, but not overly so. Their regular IPA was ok, but seemed a little weak after the Oak Aged. We sampled the stout and were quite disappointed. Maybe because beer brewed in OK can be no more than 3.2 %. I guess the fermentation process is stopped too early for those nice malty flavors to really develop. It tasted thin and watery.
Moving to the food menu, I had a marinated sirloin that was cooked perfectly. My husband's ribs were ok, but nothing special. The prices were very reasonable. By the time we were ready to leave, the place was really getting busy, including the patio area overlooking the ball field. A plus is that no smoking is allowed inside. I would definitely come back next time we're in OKC.

Located above the left field of Bricktown Ballpark (The Brick), one is faced with the option of ascending a steep set of steps or cheating on the elevator. Hey, Im a tough guy, seasoned from weeks of lugging a suitcase around. I flew up those steps in the oppressive heat like Rocky Balboa going up the steps at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. I was fully ready for a beer when I reached the top, though.
I passed through a vestibule and the maitre d station was straight ahead. The washrooms were off to the left, just past the m.d.s. The dark-marble topped bar was accessible by continuing straight back, past restaurant seating to the right. The bar was a U-shape with the taps on an island in the middle. They had a patio area but it was marked for use during games by reservation only. There was lots of sports memorabilia throughout, especially relating to hometown heroes like Mickey Mantle and Terrell Owens; to local teams in the Big 12, especially OU and Barry Switzer; and to general stars just to give it that sports bar atmosphere. The waitstaff was both friendly and helpful.
As to the beer they are made at a sister location in Norman, Oklahoma and brought in by keg for use at this location. They had six available when I visited: Harvester Wheat, which was kind of bland; Railyard Amber, which was so-so; Downtown Brown, which was also so-so; Sooner Stout, which was okay, but not what I wanted on a hot day; and IPA and English-style ESB, both of which were winners. All of them passed the Nebraska Test for clarity.

This joint is in Oklahoma City's Bricktown area, which is the towns renovated warehouse district just east of downtown. This fairly young restruant over looks the towns minor league baseball stadium. An outside patio allows views of the game as do many inside booths next to the plentiful windows.
This is a very nice ,clean place with a " U " shaped bar surrounded on three sides by restruant seating.
Most of the time there is plentiful seating available but during the summer months and baseball games in particular seating is scarce.
There are half a dozen or so Coach's beers on tap here which are brewed in nearby Norman. A great happy hour will buy you a pint for a dollar. All the beers are brewed to 3.2% abw.
The food is pretty decent here with a Red Robin style selections.
This place and the nearby Bricktown brewery are two of only a handfull of brewpubs in the entire state .
Fresh craft beers, pizza , and a baseball game, you can't beat that !

Americans for Prosperity cites stimulus for Finland
By Becky Bowers, Robert Higgs
Published on Thursday, May 3rd, 2012 at 4:55 p.m.
Is your tax money paying for jobs in Finland?
A TV ad running in eight states blames President Barack Obama for sending stimulus money overseas while Americans are out of work.
"Tell President Obama, American tax dollars should help American taxpayers," the narrator says. Instead, $2.3 billion in tax credits funded jobs in Mexico, Finland and China, the ad claims.
Americans for Prosperity, a group dedicated to "educating citizens about economic policy" that works closely with tea party activists and has been funded by the conservative Koch family, released the ad April 26, 2012.
Previously we checked out the claim about jobs in Mexico. That earned a rating of Pants on Fire.
We rated this claim about jobs in Finland as False.

A Cobb motorist died in an accident that shut down southbound traffic on Interstate 75 south of Delk Road in Cobb for a time on Monday afternoon.
Cobb Police Spokesman Sgt. Dana Pierce said that Fatma E. Shalaby, 24, of Acworth, was pronounced dead at the scene.
Pierce said Shalaby was driving a Nissan Sentra southbound on I-75 near the Terrell Mill Road overpass around 1:50 p.m. when the vehicle lost control on the wet road and struck a Dodge pick-up truck pulling a double-axle trailer.
The truck jacknifed and struck a guardrail near the emergency shoulder while the Nissan hit an inner median wall before stopping, according to police.
The driver of the truck, Danny Cox, 37, and a passenger, Marion Cox, 33, both of Screven, Ga., were not injured, Pierce said.
He said charges are not expected to be filed but anyone without information about the accident is asked to contact Cobb Police at 770-499-3987.

These days I wear a tallit and kipah when reading the torah. Photo by Robert Sirotnik
I still value Classical Reform's emphasis on universalism and social justice, but my synagogue practice has evolved. As a prayer leader I currently wear a tallit and a kippah—indeed, I now own nine tallitot and countless kippot, many of which I've collected at b'nai mitzvah services at which I've officiated. I bow during prayers. I even get on my tippy toes during the Kedusha.
What happened to the woman who once likened bowing and kissing the Torah scroll to idolatry?
The first small shift happened when my Bible professor Dr. Tamara Cohn Eskenazi commented to me that she bowed to indicate humility. I thought her explanation made a certain amount of sense…but wrote it off as a mere intellectual concession and persisted in my ways.
A couple of years later, at my first pulpit position, I had the good fortune of serving as assistant to Steve Chester, then senior rabbi of Temple Sinai in Oakland. He and I saw eye-to-eye on many matters, from theology to social justice. And yet, he also bowed. When I noted that bowing seemed incongruous with our shared nontraditional theology, he explained that he needed to move when he prayed; it helped him get into the mood. His movements must have been infectious, because one day during the Aleinu, while we stood together side-by-side, I found myself not just bowing before the ark, but bending over so far, my torso was parallel to the floor! I shocked myself: What was I doing? I was a little embarrassed. Had anyone noticed?
Well, bowing was one thing, but I knew I would never rise up on my toes for the Kedusha, pretending that I was reaching toward the heavenly heights of God-praising angels. That is—until not long ago, while chanting "Kadosh, Kadosh, Kadosh," I peered down at my shoes and watched helplessly as they moved up ever so slightly. Stretching my body a tiny bit this first time made it easier to rise more the next time, and more again the time after…until I let go, uniting with the congregation in embodying the prayers, all of us expanding body and soul to join the angelic chorus in acknowledgement of God's blessings.
I began to understand that my past reluctance to involve my body in prayer had conflicted with my sense of what it means to be a rational person. While I was very comfortable with Torah (text study) and g'milut chasadim (social justice)—two of Judaism's three pillars—the third pillar, avodah (worship), set off an internal emotional alarm system. In my mind, bowing meant that I was losing myself in the worship of God to the point of compromising my ability, as a rational person, to take issue with such notions as praying to Melech Haolam—the king of the world! I needed to take a break from arguing with the prayers, from being angry at their constant praise of God when so many things in the world were so wrong. It was time to follow what my friend, Rabbi Amy Sapowitz, wisely counseled: allotting the time of worship for praising God and the time of study for arguing with God.
I had been insisting that the liturgy of the prayer book conform to my rational, literal understanding of the words, rather than opening myself up to appreciate its evocative metaphors and images. For example, I had been deeply offended, even revolted, by the Unetaneh Tokef, the Rosh Hashanah prayer asking, "Who shall live and who shall die?" How could God serve as judge, jury, attorney, and witness, leaving us poor human beings with no hope of pleading our cause? And what of those myriad punishments—perishing by fire or by water, by sword or by beast, by hunger or by thirst, by earthquake or by plague—reserved for those whom God deemed guilty? Were tsunami victims or people starving around the world or cancer sufferers getting their just desserts? Then I came upon interpretive versions of the Unetaneh Tokef, such as Stanley Rabinowitz's understanding of fire as ambition and thirst as the need for approval, which gave me a new appreciation of the prayer.
Probing further, I began to feel the prayer's raw power to name a frightening experience—the sense that, at times, a sort of controlling force is wreaking devastation on the lives of people close and far. And, I discovered, the terror engendered by the Unetaneh Tokef can serve a similar role to that of the shofar: to awaken us to the harsh realities we face as human beings. As my study partner, Rabbi Eric Rosin, pointed out, it is incumbent upon us to ask ourselves whether and how we are prepared to cope with the potential tragedies in our lives. Are we in the proper frame of mind? Have we accomplished true teshuvah (return to the ethical path)—are our relationships with family, friends, God, and ourself where they ought to be? It takes a level of fear and trembling to compel us to change. Perhaps the Unetaneh Tokef is the powerful vehicle we need to shake us out of inertia.
I also—finally—grasped that prayer draws upon the non-rational and intuitive parts of our brain. It has the capacity to take us outside of ourselves, to connect us with a greater reality. My mind was always racing, challenging, never wanting to lose control. But to get to that larger place, I needed to quiet my thoughts, be in the moment, let go.
Fortunately, I was accepted by the Institute for Jewish Spirituality (IJS) into an 18-month program for rabbis, in which I began to learn how to give my mind a break, be present, and be with what is. At first, my resistance was very strong. During the meditation sessions I'd often fall asleep, and almost every time we sang a niggun (a wordless melody), I became irritated by the very idea that it was supposed to transport me to a higher realm. I was thinking of dropping out of the program but, not being a quitter, I stuck with it, surrendering little by little to the opening of my heart. Then one day, to my surprise, I was transported by a niggun. It was at the tail end of our third retreat, after having spent a lot of time meditating, practicing yoga, and eating intentionally, in silence. Now some 30 rabbis and I were sitting in a closing circle. Someone began humming a melody, and all joined in. The melody soared as we connected with one another and with a greater presence, a fuller reality. I was at one with the experience! It felt wonderful! Exhilarated and amazed, I shared this newfound phenomenon with my colleagues, who applauded.
These days I cannot say I am able to achieve this state very often. Having graduated from IJS, I no longer have an intentional community to spend time with meditating, and I have so little time! Plus, for someone like me who still needs to feel in control, becoming exposed before God, as one must do in prayer, remains a struggle. Yet from time to time, a piece of music, a word in the siddur, an effort at letting go allows me to stop the tapes running through my head saying that what I'm doing is silly.
My new awareness has helped me become a better worship leader. In guiding my congregants to authentic worship, I recite the prayers with more kavanah (intention) . I reveal my own doubts and struggles. I speak more about how to prepare oneself for prayer, explaining that a person cannot just walk into a sanctuary and be ready to open his/her heart. We have to settle ourselves, be willing to be vulnerable, to feel deeply, to yearn, and to notice—to notice the blessings of our lives. As Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel said, "To pray is to take notice of the wonder…."
Judaism is a journey: We are never "there," but continually exploring, wrestling, embracing, then rejecting, then re-embracing core beliefs and behaviors. The Torah ends before we enter the Promised Land, perhaps because there is always one more hill to climb.
As I travel towards my next hill, I keep in mind the words of Great Britain's Chief Rabbi, Lord Jonathan Sacks: "If prayer has worked, we are not the same afterward as we were before." I have had to change in order to pray, and prayer, in turn, has changed me.
I wonder where I will be nine years from now. Rabbi Suzanne Singer is the rabbi of Temple Beth El in Riverside, CA. Previously, she served as assistant rabbi at Temple Sinai in Oakland.

Supported Site Boston University: Collaboration
Boston University
Goals & Outcomes
Early Teaching Experience
Induction & Mentoring
Course Reform
Publications & Talks
- A collaboration was established with the Science Department of the Boston Public Schools to arrange placements for science students seeking a pre-practicum experience.
- Through the LERNet High School Physics labs initiative, we invited area teachers to use BU physics labs for high school classes. Two class groups visited in Spring 2012 - Newton and Bedford Public Schools; two groups came in Spring 2013 - Salem Academy and Bedford Public Schools. (LERNet is Boston University's Learning Resource Network, which is involved with educational outreach efforts.)
- Collaboration between the Departments of Physics and Chemistry led to a joint Teaching Lunch, in April 2013, aimed at raising awareness among the Chemistry faculty about the CTEC program.
- Mark Greenman, the TIR, in conjunction with a high school physics teacher from English High School in Boston, received an APS Pair Program grant, and together they developed three curricular units (vectors and scalars, acceleration and velocity, and Newton's laws) for use in the high school classroom.
- The TIR expanded the knowledge base about existing outreach efforts in the College of Arts and Sciences (CAS).
- Connections with graduate students were established via Graduate Women in Science events.
- We should assist, and gather information from, the Chemistry department, which has more outreach programs than we do.
- Teaching lunches were held to discuss teaching-related issues. We had two lunches in Fall 2012 and one more in Spring 2013. All the lunches brought together faculty from multiple departments, with about 17 faculty members, on average, attending the lunches. In Fall 2012, one lunch focused on Piazza, and the other (which was also attended by CAS Associate Dean Susan Jackson) focused on the Learning Assistant program and the Noyce Scholarship program. In Spring 2013, the teaching lunch was a joint Physics-Chemistry event, focused on raising awareness among the Chemistry faculty about the CTEC program.
- The High school physics labs that were mentioned above in Successes.
- We were awarded two APS Pair grants, one pairing Mark Greenman with a physics teacher at English High in Boston, and another pairing Andrew Duffy with a physics teacher at Boston Green Academy.
Lessons Learned
- There are a number of faculty members in the Department of Chemistry at Boston University who are committed to implementing reformed pedagogy, and we should continue to work closely with them as we move forward.

Though I wasn't in the VIP standing area, I had the next best tickets. I thought I'd still be pretty far from the stage, but I had such amazing seats! Honda Center and YGE were fucking ANAL about cameras today, so the line I stood in had such anal security that searched all throughout your bag and scanned your body. So I had to go put my DSLR back in the car, but I'm not complaining. I had such a blast! Plus, I was able to record some pretty bomb quality audio of the performances :) Oh! But one thing I really want to share (and it melted my heart to it's very core when I witnessed it) was…
My seat was pretty close to the stage and was right behind the VIP standing area, so I was able to clearly see one of the fans in standing area holding a poster that read "I love you, 이승현 (Lee Seunghyun)". Seungri was standing on our side of the stage and so I was watching him the whole time. He saw that fan in the standing area holding that poster and smiled. He then pointed at her, pounded his heart with his fist a few times, formed a heart with his hands, and pointed back to her with another melting smile. IT WAS SO DAMN CUTE AND SEXY. It's like as if he wanted to tell her that he loves her, too. IT WAS SO SWEET. I ALMOST CRIED. If I feel this happy for that fan, I can't imagine how she must have felt… or feels.
It was insane. TOP is a fucking perfect sculpture. skjghlakjshg. So hot. Taeyang ripped his shirt off twice (but that's a given lmfao). Taeyang also mentioned Hurricane Sandy on the East Coast and wanted us to cheer them on. He also said, "I will pray for East Coast!" I almost cried again at that part LMFAO. GD prepared a special all-English rap skit (some claim that it's a new song, but it didn't seem like it. Hmm, who knows lol) that went along to a remixed Crayon beat. Seungri and Daesung made silly Engrish comments.
I'm a happy camper :3
My love for BIGBANG has been taken to a whole other level. I didn't think that was possible. Shrugs.

The Dying Gasps of Nativism
by Charles Lemos, Wed Sep 01, 2010 at 10:17:06 AM EDT
Here's the latest video from Chase Whiteside and Erick Stoll of New Left Media interviewing attendees at Glenn Beck's Restoring Honor rally held this past Saturday in Washington.
The sentiments being expressed are really no different than say the ones that were expressed at this McCain/Palin rally (video at The Guardian) in Colorado Springs back in late October 2008. The Guardian, at the time, wrote of Palin's adoring crowd that day that "beneath the cheers and applause, there was a lingering mood of defeat - a sense that it was all over, and that as much as anything, this was a goodbye rally for the woman who just months ago had so energised social conservatives." There's no question that "lingering mood of defeat" on the right has over the past two years been further transformed into a Lernaean Hydra of ignorance, anger, bigotry, righteous indignation, fear, sheer stupidity and irrationality.
That these people sincerely hold the belief that Obama is a racist Muslim Socialist born in Kenya underscores the influence of the right-wing propagandist machine that is Fox News and the right-wing blogs. Today a "hydra-like problem" or "hydra" refers to a multifaceted problem that seems incapable of step-by-step solution, or to one that worsens upon conventional attempts to solve it, for example, attempts to suppress a particular piece of information resulting in it being disseminated even more widely.
And we clearly face a hydra-like problem when it comes to the right-wing echo chamber. Let's face it, they have more money and their own media empire, a purveyor of misinformation like no other on the planet. But as Hercules did slay the Lernaean Hydra, so too we will slay the multi-headed serpent that is the nativist right with the sword that is demographics.
Back in 1998 at a speech at Portland State University, President Clinton noted:
Today, largely because of immigration, there is no majority race in Hawaii or Houston or New York City. Within five years, there will be no majority race in our largest state, California. In a little more than 50 years, there will be no majority race in the United States. No other nation in history has gone through demographic change of this magnitude in so short a time ... [These immigrants] are energizing our culture and broadening our vision of the world. They are renewing our most basic values and reminding us all of what it truly means to be American.
Indeed in 2001, California, the nation's most populous state, joined New Mexico, Hawaii and the District of Columbia where non-Hispanic whites are also in the minority. And in 2005, Texas became the fourth state to have a non-white majority population. As of 2008, the percentage of non-Hispanic white residents has fallen below 60 percent in Maryland, Georgia, Nevada, Arizona, New York and Mississippi.
In thinking about Arizona's anti-immigration SB 2281, my thoughts are that the law is really not much more than an pathetic attempt at ethnic cleansing, a last ditch effort to drive Hispanics from the state. According to a Brookings Institution report, Arizona's Hispanic population has shot up 180 percent in the last 20 years, with the white population dropping from 72 percent to 58 percent. Hispanics account for about one-third of the state's 6.6 million people, and 90 percent of Hispanics under age 18 were born in the US. Even if all immigration from Mexico were halted tomorrow, the high birthrate of this young population would continue Arizona's population boom and its demographic shift. Arizona will become majority-minority state by 2020.
According to the US Census Bureau, the dominance of non-Hispanic white people, who today account for two-thirds of Americans, will be whittled away, falling steadily to less than half in 2042 and just 46 percent by 2050. In the opposite trajectory, those who describe themselves as Hispanic, African-American, Asian and Native American will increase in proportion from about a third now to 54 percent by 2050.
Such a rapid demographical shift is in tune with trends that we have been seeing for quite some time, but it is happening much faster than experts had predicted 12 years ago when President Clinton gave his speech. When I hear Tea Baggers talk about "taking back their country," I can't help but think that what they really mean is reversing that demographical shift. I suspect as that demographical shift takes increasing hold we will continue to be subjected to the dying gasps of nativism but they are grasping at straws if they think that the demographic shift can be reversed.
It's game, set, match for the nativist right but whether the non-nativist right can make inroads into the growing Hispanic electorate will depend on whether they amend their vitriol on immigration issues. For Democrats, it is certainly a political imperative that we enact a comprehensive immigration reform and remain attuned to the social justice concerns of most Hispanics but more importantly, I think, we need to demonstrate that our basic values include tolerance and cultural pluralism. These are the values to which President Clinton was referring to back in 1998 and these are the values that will ultimately assign the nativist right to irrelevancy.

Airport's runway expansion OK'dNovember 13,2013Airport's runway
extension is OK'd
WILMINGTON — Plans to upgrade and continue the revitalization of a southern Vermont airport have gotten another big boost after Wilmington's Development Review Board approved a plan that to extend the runway.
The conditional-use permit issued last week calls for a runway that would be no more than 4,450 feet long and 75 feet wide.
Much of the airport is in Dover, but a section of the runway is in Wilmington.
Earlier this year the former Mount Snow Airport was purchased and renamed the Deerfield Valley Airport. It's part of a broader plan to bring more visitors to the region.

The Standard Route, climb up the west ramp to the base of the obvious crack system. Climb the crack using horns, jugs, knobs, some jams and stems, and at least one awkward left-stepping face move to a ledge with 3 bolts 10' below the summit. The majority of the route goes at pretty decent 8, but be prepared for some slightly harder moves - the sandstone has eroded a bit and the climb is getting harder. Belay from here - there's plenty of room for several people on the ledge. Scramble up easy 4th class rock with some foot pockets to the summit (a piton on top and on an intermediate ledge assist in protecting this scramble) for an excellent view of the Garden of Eden. Rap (do not lower) the route from the three-bolt anchor on the ledge.
A standard set of camalots up to #4 and a couple of spare pieces in the 1.5-3 range (cams or hexes), 3' slings for runners and to hook horns will suffice. Carry or trail a second rope for the 2-rope rap off.

(WMC-TV) - The Shelby County School Board is shrinking. Effective September 1, the board will go from 23 members to just seven.
Will it impact representation? Many thought the board would expand to 13 members and that the county commission would get to appoint six members.
As chairman, Billy Orgel had to manage the 23 member school board during its meetings.
"Twenty-three is actually very large for a public body," he said.
Even so, he does not believe it was as cumbersome as many observers may have thought.
"It was a good dialog, and we were able to make a lot of decisions because of that," Orgel added.
Orgel agrees with a federal judge's ruling this week that calls for the board to be downsized from 23 members to seven members.
The school board will be made up of those duly elected last year.
Another election next year will add six new members, which contradicts a Shelby County Commission plan to immediately appoint six new members.
Board member Martavius Jones is concerned about diminished representation. It is a concern that Orgel does not share.
"I think to add six new people to the board immediately, I thought might have been problematic," said Orgel. "We need a little stability."
The additional six members will be selected during the general election in August.

Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas will meet with Israeli Vice Premier Shaul Mofaz on Sunday, a Palestinian official said on Thursday, in the highest-level meeting between the sides since peace talks broke down in 2010.
"There will be a meeting on Sunday between President Abbas and Mr. Mofaz. This comes after a request for a meeting from Mofaz," Chief Palestinian Negotiator Saeb Erekat told Voice of Palestine Radio.
A spokesman for Mofaz would not confirm or deny that a meeting had been arranged, but he did say there was ongoing contact with Abbas' office toward setting up such an event.
Earlier in the month, a Palestinian official was quoted as saying Mofaz had been asking for a meeting with with Abbas, and remarked that such a meeting would likely take place in Amman, Jordan.
Renewed interest in Israel-PA negotiations from the Kadima head came amid statements of pessimism from Palestinian Authority leadership. Last week, Abbas declared the peace process "clinically dead," blaming the state of affairs squarely on Israel. "The ball is in the Israeli court," Abbas said in a speech at a conference on Jerusalem that was held in Ramallah.
Mofaz recently returned from a diplomatic visit in Washington, where he held high-level meetings with US officials on the state of Israel-PA relations. Simultaneously, the PLO's Erekat also visited the US for talks with Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on ways of reviving the stalled peace talks with Israel.
Speaking to Israel Radio from DC last week, Mofaz said that Palestinians preconditions have become an obstacle, and that the upcoming negotiations must and will be restarted "without any preconditions."
"Over the past three years the Palestinians have been placing preconditions on restarting the negotiations, and Israel and the US were mistaken in allowing them to do so," Mofaz said.
One of the main preconditions of the Kadima party joining the governing coalition was the advancement of the peace process in a responsible manner.

NBCNEWS.COM - Some blunt advice for the young, male fans of marijuana:
You may want to kill that joint and clutch your crotch -- self-check
style, that is.
Scientists at the University of Southern California say they've
detected a link between recreational marijuana use and a greater chance
among males in their early teens through their mid-30s of contracting a
particularly dangerous form of testicular cancer -- non-seminoma tumors, according to a small study published today online in CANCER, a peer-reviewed journal of the American Cancer Society.
"The group that is at risk for developing these tumors is
overwhelmingly young men. They should be looking and paying attention to
changes in their testicles anyway," said Victoria Cortessis, one of the
study's authors and an assistant professor of preventive medicine at
the Keck School of Medicine of USC in Los Angeles.
Further, the fellas' weed intake "might be something they would want to mention to their usual health-care provider." click here to read more

Last week I talked about the single best thing you can do to prevent malicious attacks on your network: whitelisting. Unfortunately, a lot of people simply can't adopt whitelisting due to politics, operational needs, or both. I understand that.
So here's the second best thing you can do to reduce security risk: perfect patching.
[ Tune in to 5 true tales of (mostly) white-hat hacking. | InfoWorld's expert contributors show you how to secure your Web browsers in a free PDF guide. Download it today! | Learn how to protect your systems with InfoWorld's Security Central newsletter. ]
Most of today's malware works by exploiting holes in unpatched software. Specifically, most malicious attacks involve exploiting unpatched Internet-related software, including add-ins, browser helper objects, and so on. Unpatched Java is easily the most exploited vulnerability, accounting for 50 percent or more of all successful attacks -- and has held that leadership position since 2012. Prior to that, Java was No. 2 two behind Adobe Acrobat Reader.
It used to be that unpatched operating system vulnerabilities, specifically Microsoft Windows, led the way. Today, Windows isn't even in the top 10 of most exploited programs. One popular antimalware vendor has said that Windows and Internet Explorer together accounted for just 3 percent of all exploits last year, while Java and Acrobat Reader accounted for 78 percent. Does that stat shock you? It shouldn't. It's been that way for many years.
Think of how earth-shaking this should be for your company and your IT security processes. If you stay up to date on your patching for two measly programs, Java and Acrobat Reader, you can eliminate 78 percent of your risk -- amazing but true!
