Speaking from Zuccotti Park in Lower Manhattan, attorney Michael Ratner of the Center for Constitutional Rights says New York City's efforts to displace Occupy Wall Street protesters in order to clean the park violates their First Amendment rights and would have led to a major confrontation.

The remains of Paige Birgfeld, a missing Colorado mom who secretly ran an escort service, have been found in a Colorado creek bed. A hiker walking in the Wells Gulch area of Delta County discovered Birgfeld's body Tuesday around 12:30 p.m. Dental records were used in the identification process.
Authorities have not commented on the possible cause of death. Birgfeld's case is now considered a homicide instead of a missing person's case.
"I don't know about closure. I think of my daughter at least three or four times a day every day. The fact that we found out where she is, I don't know that this is going to change that," Frank Birgfeld tells the Denver Post.
Birgfeld disappeared in June 2007. Her car was discovered burning in a parking lot near her Grand Junction home and some of her personal effects were found scattered along a nearby highway. Birgfeld was 34 at the time. She left behind three children.

- The location of the outage at the neighborhood level.
- The number of customers affected by the outage.
- When the outage was reported, and the time PSE&G expects service to be restored.
- The cause of the outage, if available, such as equipment failure or animal contact.

Good evening friends and welcome to the 2014 Reorganizational Meeting for the Borough of Essex Fells. I would like to extend a very special, warm, and heartfelt welcome to our visitors, the Honorable Jerome St. John, Judge in the New Jersey Superior Court, Appellate Division (and equally prestigious, former Mayor of Essex Fells), the Honorable Mayor of West Caldwell, Joseph Tempesta, and former Essex Fells Council President and Councilman Thomas St. John.
It is refreshing, and indeed very welcome, that my comments at this year's State of the Borough address will not be discussing the wrath of Mother Nature, or the need to thank FEMA, the State and County officials and organizations, PSE&G, various utility companies from far across this great and generous land of ours, and many, many others, for the natural disasters that did befall Essex Fells in 2011 and 2012 were, thankfully, absent in 2013.
Rather, the events and activities in Essex Fells, and of the Borough Council, were more along the description of "business as usual." And although the "Enchanted Forest" was a little less, "forested" due to the storms, it remained, always "enchanted." In 2013, our town once again enjoyed the very special Currier and Ives moment of skating and the skating races at the Pond thanks to the wonderful work of Tom Torter and the Skating Pond Committee, and this year, thanks to the spearheading efforts of Ron Ellis, our residents can now truly enjoy the Pond year round with the completion of the peaceful path encircling the Pond. We enjoyed the annual and time-honored fishing derby put on by the Essex Fells Fire Department. The Essex Fells Garden Club, under the leadership of Doreen Ward, worked year round to keeping our town the bucolic Borough that she is, held its Annual Plant Sale in the Spring and the Christmas Eve Sing several weeks ago, and very generously donated very substantial funds to help restore the Glen behind the Essex Fells School which had been severely damaged. We came together, once again, on Memorial Day to remember and pay tribute to our town's five fallen heroes and the Chief John Kauffman and Essex Fells Fire Department returned to hosting its traditional Annual Memorial Day Picnic immediately after the Memorial Day Parade. The Essex Fells School, that magnificent "stone set in a silver sea," was busy with not only educating our children, but also creating very special Essex Fells memories for the kids for years to come. I will never forget that on Veterans Day this year, the Sixth Grade class not only attended our ceremony at Borough Hall at 8:30 in the morning, but also invited our town's veterans to join them in the media center to discuss their service to our country. It was truly a very special moment, and one that made us all so proud of our veterans and of our children. And as always, with each season, Essex Fells showed us her beauty, her grace, and her elegance.
And similarly described as "business as usual," during 2013, your Borough Council, as always, was very diligent and busy in its charge of being fiscally and responsibly improving Essex Fells' services and programs, while honoring the past and preserving the unique character of our town. 2013 presented many traditional and some unique challenges, but this governing body admirably met those challenges through hard work, creative thinking, and teamwork. I am proud of the accomplishments of this Council and all of them are to be commended.
The credit for our accomplishments also goes to the amazing efforts of our town's administration – specifically our Borough Administrator, Francine Paserchia, Administrative Assistant, Brittany Thunel, and their staff, our assigned CFO Christopher Battaglia of Battaglia Associates, Essex Fells Water Utility Superintendent Jack Pohlman and the men of our water utility, Essex Fells Police Chief Vincent Kulik, Lieutenant Donald Allen, and the men and woman of the Essex Fells Police Department, Department of Public Works Superintendent Roger Kerr and the men of the DPW, Essex Fells Recreation Director Rob Lombardy, Essex Fells Fire Chief John Kauffman and my fellow Essex Fells Firefighters, and Borough Council Counsel, Martin Murphy. Since I took the oath of this office in 2002, I have closely worked with all of you, some on a weekly basis, and a few of you on a daily basis. I want to take this opportunity to publically thank you all for all that you do for Essex Fells and her residents – for your commitment to your professions; for your commitment to our residents. I not only enjoy every moment of working with you for the people of Essex Fells, but also, and very honestly and sincerely, say that I respect and admire you all for your dedication. Thank you.
And of course, Essex Fells would not be Essex Fells without her resident volunteers - those who give their time and talents to making the Borough such a special and wonderful place to live and raise a family. There are so many of you; please know that we all appreciate your efforts and time in giving back to the community you love. Thank you all.
Shortly, you will be hearing from the Council Chairpersons of the various Borough's Committees with specific details of all the highlights and achievements for 2013; and the successes are many, including:
· Successfully re-negotiating water contracts with certain customer towns and with New Jersey American Water Company;
· Concluding our Teamsters Union contract negotiations;
· Improving relations, communications, and partnering with PSE&G regarding the maintenance of utilities in Essex Fells in storms;
· Encouraging residents to use our webpage – www.essexfellsboro.com - and sign up for NIXLE so that they can get the needed information quickly on their cell phones in times of emergency;
· Maintaining and repairing the Borough's physical plants and the Water Utility's pumps and wells and water system;
· Installing new Federally regulated street signs;
· Hiring and welcoming new police personnel (Officer Joseph Ficci who officially joined us in 2012, but who graduated from the Police Academy in 2013) and other non-police personnel (assigned CFO Christopher Battaglia);
· Exploring and creating ways to reduce the tax burdens through the continued use of shared services with other municipalities;
· Installing new signs at the Recycling area;
· Pursing New Jersey Department of Transportation grants to maintain safe and secure roadways;
· And passing of comprehensive, through, and well-conceived ordinances; for example ordinances dealing with the installation and use of generators and the ability to conduct professional filming for movies, television, or commercials in town.
I do believe that, periodically, any State of the Borough Address needs to briefly touch upon where we have been, what has been accomplished, and what are some of the upcoming challenges and issues to be addressed. Over the last 12 years as your Mayor, my plan for the Borough of Essex Fells has been extremely consistent and focused on maintaining and improving the Borough services, while at the same time, meeting the fiduciary obligations to the taxpayers by controlling costs and exploring every feasible option to keep taxes low, all in a balanced and responsible manner to preserve our unique small town character. Each member of the 12 governing bodies with whom I have had the absolute honor and privilege to work with has joined me in this charge, for each understands that we are only bailees of this precious jewel called Essex Fells.
Over the course of the last 12 years, we have had great success in every aspect of Borough life, some of which are:
Police and Public Safety–
· Established close coordination with our Police, Fire, Water, DPW and Administration for the safety and welfare of all our residents following Hurricane Sandy and the October Storm of 2011, including dealing with our representatives from the County, State and Federal agencies all for the benefit of Essex Fells;
· Reviewed policies, procedures, and other considerations in order to keep our Police Department independent, in addition to providing the department with the best equipment necessary;
· Always being committed to proper education and training for Police personnel for not only the safety of the residents of Essex Fells, but also for the officers themselves;

Those are just a few of the accomplishments that we have made since 2002. Yet, as we are reminded at the end of Coppola's brilliant film, "Patton," "Sic transit gloria mundi" ("All glory is fleeting").
Today and going forward, we on the governing body face many tough challenges in 2014 and beyond, some of which are:
1. Maintaining Essex Fells' Unique Character - While at last year's Fishing Derby at the Pond, I was approached by someone who told me that she grew up in Essex Fells and moved away over 40 years ago. She then stated that she wanted me to know that the town is as beautiful as she remembered it, that the traditions like the Fishing Derby warmed her heart, and that the residents she met that day were as nice as the residents she and her family knew so long ago. She was so happy to see that all that is wonderful about Essex Fells has not changed. For me as Mayor, that is the nicest compliment anyone can ever pay our town. My challenge, and my charge – our challenge, our charge – is simply that – to deal with the necessary, good, or even thrust upon, changes that have to occur in our little Borough, but to always deal with them honestly, with the right perspective, and in such a way as to have the least impact on the very special "feel" that makes Essex Fells so "Essex Fells." I often say that Essex Fells is "the town that time forgot," because of its unique, and even romantic, character of small town America where neighbor knows neighbor and where we really do all care for one another.
2. Emergency Management – Hurricane Sandy and the October Storm of 2011 taught us all the importance of proper emergency management planning, coordination, and communication. We have learned much about all three, and going forward we will continue to learn more and implement procedures to be even better prepared when the next disaster strikes. The Borough has put in place the Nixle system, which is surpassing the Reverse 911 system in terms of effectiveness and immediacy, and all residents are encouraged to enroll their cellphone numbers on the Nixle system (information can be found on our webpage). By doing so, any subscriber can get immediate texts to their cellphones from me, as Mayor or Emergency Management Coordinator, or our Chief of Police in a fast and very efficient way. Further, we have requested grants and assistance through FEMA through their programs for costs and expenses that the Borough suffered in the past two years, in addition to purchasing generators for our Municipal Hall and Service Building. This is certainly a work in progress, but with the team in place of our Police Department, Fire Department, Public Works, Water, Administration and Mayor/Emergency Management Coordinator, and with our relationships with the County, State, and Federal authorities, along with PSE&G, we are constantly improving and fine-tuning our response to such disasters.
3. Creating or Updating New Borough Ordinances - Given the power outages recently suffered, many residents purchased or are considering purchasing full home generators. We wanted to make sure that the generators are properly located and connected in a safe manner; therefore, working with our code official and engineer, the Borough crafted and passed an ordinance regarding the safe installation and location of home generators. Other ordinances that need to be created or updated include those affecting dish communication devices, solar panel placements, outdoor lighting, and fencing regulations.
4. Controlling proper housing structure size on Borough lots – Thanks to the foresight of past Mayors, Councils, Planning Boards and Zoning Boards of Adjustment, Essex Fells was the leader in establishing the "Floor to Area" standard for construction of homes. This has been instrumental in allowing the Borough's homes to be by in large proportional to the properties. Going forward and working with the Planning Board and the Zoning Board of Adjustment, Essex Fells needs to discuss what restrictions it should consider on the size of homes that could be constructed on very large properties which, although meet the Borough's FAR, could be so large as to be out of character with the town's atmosphere and nature;
5. Historic Home Preservation – Again, with working side by side with the Planning Board, the Zoning Board of Adjustment, the Historical Committee, and interested in-town professional architects, the governing body needs to re-new its efforts to create an Architectural Advisory Review Board to either try to prevent the loss of the unique, historic homes that have such an important place in our town's history and landscape, or exert motivation or guidance on the owners to maintain as much of the historic structure as possible;
6. Tree and Trotter Tract Preservation – Three factors have had a terrible impact on the beautiful trees that have graced our town: time (meaning that most large tall trees live for about 80 to 100 years, and given the developmental history of our Borough, many of our great trees have reached the end of their lifespan), the October Storm of 2011, and Hurricane Sandy. The Council needs to take aggressive measures to put into place a firm plan on how to re-forest, care, and maintain our Borough properties with the trees that we either have already lost or will lose in the coming years. I have already been in contact with a forest consultant to discuss how best to replant and maintain our borough properties, including the 80 acre Trotter Tract, and we will be working with other great organizations in town, including the Essex Fells Garden Club, Friends of the Trotter Tract, the Essex Fells Conservancy, and interested residents to ensure that our town remains the bucolic, special, heavily forested town it has been for many generations to come.
I have no doubt that we on the governing body will meet these challenges and successfully over come them, as long as we are true to three basic principles:
1. Focus on and act only to accomplish our charge: to maintain and improve the Borough services, while at the same time, meeting the fiduciary obligations to the Essex Fells taxpayers by controlling costs, all in a balanced and responsible manner to preserve our unique small town character;
2. Remember that we are only trustees of this ever so special place; that we must only and always act for the betterment of the current and future residents of Essex Fells; that our beloved 1.3 square miles is so special that its protection unquestionably takes priority over personal interests; and,
3. That we need to prepare "the next generation" to accept the torch of Borough governance and responsibility; that residents with "skin in the game" (e.g., those who will be living here for the next 30, 40 years who may have young children in school or are involved with the many wonderful Essex Fells clubs, committees or foundations) consider what their contributions will be to our town and we need to actively and vigorously encourage and welcome their involvement in bringing their ideas and visions to bear on the future of Essex Fells. Let not the current state of politics in New Jersey dissuade any one of the next generation from wanting to become involved in the care of our beloved Borough; Let them be motivated and called by the virtues of public service. For the future of our beloved Essex Fells will be in their hands, as it was placed in ours years ago.
That said, come, let us to the task. The business of the Borough awaits.
Twelve years ago (on January 2, 2002) I was sworn in as Mayor of the Borough of Essex Fells for the first time. In preparing my State of the Borough address for tonight, I re-read the comments I made that night. My remarks were filled with honest and sincere feelings of enthusiasm for the challenges that lie ahead, an impatience and excitement about going forth with the governing body and administration to meet those challenges head on, and with a promise to you all that I would do my best to earn your trust and confidence each day and work unceasingly to honor and respect the cherished trust placed in me to fulfill all of the duties and responsibilities of the Office of the Mayor of the Borough of Essex Fells each day, every day.
Twelve years later, please know that the enthusiasm for the challenges still rages; the impatience and excitement still burns; and the promise to earn your trust and confidence each day, every day, is unbroken and everlasting.
I would like to thank the people of Essex Fells for their confidence in me and for reaffirming all the good work that we together have accomplished during the last twelve years. I have never, ever, considered the Mayor's office as an office that you "win," rather; it is an office that you "earn," and one that you must earn every day. Thank you for having the confidence and trust in me to allow me the absolute privilege to continue to be your Mayor and to represent and lead this wonderful town for another term. I look forward to the next four years with unbridled enthusiasm and excitement. You have bestowed upon me a magnificent honor, "a glorious burden," and one that I will work tirelessly to uphold.
I would also like to thank my dear friends for their friendship and support – over the years they have been members of – not the Council or a Cabinet - but actually more of a "kitchen cabinet" by freely sharing with me their thoughts and concerns for our beloved Borough, and I have drawn great insight and strength from your friendship and support.
You don't do a job like this without the love and support of one's family. My heartfelt thanks goes to my family - my wife Jill, for her constant – though at times, possibly reluctant – encouragement; my son Ted – for his absolute and blinding confidence in believing that I will never leave this chair until I'm dead; and my daughter Kelly – for her remarkable ability to always make me try harder to make her proud of me, as only daughters can do to their fathers, but most importantly, to all three of you, thank you for your ever-constant love, support, and understanding. It means the world to me.
And so, our well-established goal has always been to bring Essex Fells' services and programs up to date and to establish a plan for our future, while honoring our past and preserving the unique character of our town. So it has been, so it is now, and so shall it continue to be.
God bless these United States, God bless Essex Fells, and God Bless you all.

In 1918, on the eleventh hour, of the eleventh day, of the eleventh month, the world rejoiced and celebrated. After four years of bitter war, the Allied powers signed an armistice with Germany in the forest of Compiegne at Rethondes, France, bringing the First World War to a close. All over the globe, there were many celebrations; no doubt the world never before witnessed such rejoicing. "The War to End All Wars," was over.
In November, 1919, President Woodrow Wilson issued his Armistice Day Proclamation. The last paragraph set the tone for future observances:
To us in America, the reflections of Armistice Day will be filled with solemn pride in the heroism of those who died in the country's service and with gratitude for the victory, both because of the thing from which it has freed us and because of the opportunity it has given America to show her sympathy with peace and justice in the councils of the nation.
In 1927, Congress issued a resolution requesting President Calvin Coolidge issue a proclamation calling upon officials to display the flag of the United States on all government buildings on November 11 and inviting the people to observe the day in schools and churches. But it was not until 1938 that Congress passed a bill that each November 11, "shall be dedicated to the cause of world peace and … hereafter celebrated as Armistice Day."
That same year President Franklin Delano Roosevelt signed a bill making the day a legal holiday in the District of Columbia. For sixteen years, the United States formally observed Armistice Day with impressive ceremonies at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, where the Chief Executive or his representative placed a wreath. On that day at 11 am, in many towns across our great country, all traffic was stopped, words of tribute and thanks were expressed, volleys were fired, and taps were played.
After World War II, there were many new veterans who had little or no association with World War I. The word "armistice," means simply a truce; therefore, as years passed, the significance of the title changed. Leaders of veteran organizations decided to change this and sought to have an official designation making November 11 the time to honor all those who served and fought in the various American wars, not just in World War I.
In Emporia, Kansas, on November 11, 1953, instead of an Armistice Day program, there was a Veterans Day observance. Ed Rees, of Emporia, was so impressed that he introduced a bill into the House to change the name to Veterans Day. After this passed, Mr. Rees wrote to all state governors and asked for their approval and cooperation in observing the changed holiday. The name was change to Veterans Day by an Act of Congress on May 24, 1954. In October of that year, President Eisenhower called on all citizens to observe the day by remembering the sacrifices of all those who served so proudly and fought so gallantly through rededication of the task of promoting an enduring peace. The President referred to the changed name as "Veterans Day" in honor of the servicemen and women of all of America's wars.
Today, across our great country, and throughout the world, Americans remember and honor our nation's veterans; the brave men and women who fought during times of war and who fought to maintain the peace, and who have assured us our freedoms through their duty, their honor, their courage, and their selfless service.
To all our veterans, no matter where or when you served, regardless of in what branch of military you served, the citizens of the Borough of Essex Fells have a simple, yet heartfelt message – Thank you. Thank you for your selfless service in peacetime and in war, here in this nation and throughout the world. Our veterans deserve the assurances and recognition from a grateful Borough and nation that what they accomplished, as such a high personal cost to them, enables all of us to enjoy our liberties and freedoms and a future free from fear.
Our veterans have paid for these freedoms with their courage and honor. They have defended America through both the best and the worst times and they have performed their difficult duties tirelessly and with little recognition or fanfare. For their service, they have neither sought fortune nor fame. A simple love of country and liberty compelled them to serve this great nation of ours.
The Borough of Essex Fells also wants you to know that we recognize that your example serves to inspire others who follow in your footsteps. For our soldiers today, like the veterans who came before them, they will always draw their strength from the values that you veterans has so bravely demonstrated: loyalty, duty, respect, selfless service, honor, integrity, personal courage, and love of country. These values have always been with our troops and continue to sustain them to this very day as they are placed in harm's way in Afghanistan and throughout the world. They are the essential values embodied by all who have served, and continue to serve, our nation.
Our veterans, better than anyone else, understand that our nation was founded not on the greatness of the past, but the promise of the future. They know that freedom is not free and that eternal vigilance is the price we must always pay for our liberty.
The Borough of Essex Fells must resolve to thank and support all our veterans for their outstanding service to our nation. Let us thank them not only today, but also every day. Remember our veterans and remember that they paid physically and emotionally to keep our nation safe. And let us also remember our present servicemen and women – America's future veterans – America's sons and daughters – who have selflessly made the decision to defend our rights and freedoms that we enjoy and cherish as Americans.
Additionally, we remember and give thanks to the veterans' families, for they have also paid a price for our freedoms.
We will never be able to adequately thank our veterans, our soldiers and their families, but we must always respect, honor, and support them.
To the Essex Fells Sixth Grade Class who joins us today, there is something that I'd like you to know and to remember. These veterans with us here today, these older senior gentlemen and lady, these neighbors, these folks that you see around town- - - - - were soldiers once. Essex Fells veterans have served our country and fought in our nations wars all over the world – as soldiers, airmen, sailors, Marines, coast guardsmen, WAVES, in every branch of service and in every theater of operation. They did so, honestly, because our country asked them to do it, because they felt it was their duty to serve, and because each felt that it was expected of them.
"Hero" is a term that today is too often used and misapplied. To me, a "hero" is someone who unconditionally gives himself to something greater than himself. One who has all to risk, and little or nothing to gain, for the benefit of others; one who shows acts of bravery and courage and loyalty and love of country, without fanfare of fuss. Kids, today, you stand here in the presence of heroes. These veterans, "my guys" – the gentlemen and lovely lady who stand before you – when, not much older than yourselves, proudly and with great sacrifice answered the call of our nation and served her with a great sense of duty, honor, and country. All is ask of each of you is to remember that, to remember them, and to appreciate all that they have done.
In closing, I would like to read one of my favorite passages, written by Father Dennis Edward O'Brien, Sergeant, United States Marine Corps, which reminds me of the thanks we owe to our veterans:
It is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us the freedom of the press;
It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us the freedom of speech;
It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, who gives us the freedom of demonstrations;
It is the soldier, who salutes the flag, who serves beneath the flag, and whose coffin is draped by the flag, who allows the protester to burn the flag.
I would only add, "It is the American soldier" who gives us these very cherished freedoms.
A grateful Borough remembers; a grateful Borough gives thanks; and a grateful Borough will always honor her veterans.
God bless you all, God bless and protect our veterans of today and those of the future, and may God continue to bless the Borough of Essex Fells and these United States.

A central Pennsylvania couple is in Bucks County prison on $175,000 bail each for misdemeanor drug charges after they allegedly bought heroin in Tullytown and shot it up in Falls.
Felicia Maria Weaver, 26, and Roy Tome, 24, both of Pearl Avenue in Manheim, which is about two hours from Bucks County, were charged Wednesday on misdemeanor charges of conspiracy, possession of a controlled substance and possession of drug paraphernalia. To be released from jail, the couple each must come up with $17,500.
The couple was arrested after an employee at a motel in the 3100 block of West Cabot Boulevard called Falls police to report he saw a couple inside a car with its engine running and blankets covering the windows apparently mixing and injecting drugs, according to a probable cause affidavit.
Drugs and paraphernalia were confiscated, police said.

The District of Columbia's rapid gentrification provides a once-in-a-generation opportunity to create racially and socio-economically integrated public schools. But misguided public policies might be allowing this moment to slip through our hands.
That was the upshot of a very interesting conversation that transpired the other day at a forum held in Fordham's conference center (and moderated by yours truly). Panelists, including city councilman Sekou Biddle, Century Foundation scholar Richard Kahlenberg, community activist Sam Chaltain, and Center for Education Reform president Jeanne Allen, contemplated what it would take to seize the opportunity.
Here's what's happening, in a nutshell: Upper middle class families have moved into neighborhoods such as Capitol Hill, Columbia Heights, and Petworth in large numbers. And?this is what's new?these families are staying in the District even after their kids reach school age, and many are sending their children to public schools. (Nobody can quite explain this;? I suspect it's a combination of the iffy real estate market; the huge decrease in crime in the District over the past two decades; the recession (making private schools out of reach for many); and confidence in Michelle Rhee's reforms.)
At the same time, more parents in long-gentrified neighborhoods west of Rock Creek Park are also sending their kids to public schools. Which means there are fewer spots for ?out of boundary? students in high-performing middle class schools such as Lafayette, Murch, Eaton, or Deal.
So affluent parents in the transitioning neighborhoods?squeezed out of schools west of the park?are taking a shot at the school down the street. In several cases, this has been an orchestrated effort, organized via community meetings, list-serves, and the like, with middle-class parents saying ?let's all hold hands and do it together.? And many are taking the leap into pre-school programs where the risks are lower and the upside is quite high. (Free full day preschool! Starting at age 3! Imagine the savings in childcare!)
So far so good. If you believe in school integration, this is a fantastic development. After all, the reason urban schools haven't been racially or economically diverse for the past three decades is that they have served so few white or middle class kids. (And there are plenty of reasons to cheer school integration, beyond the feel-good notion of making Dr. King's dream a reality. Lots of evidence shows that poor kids learn more, on average, when they attend middle class schools. And many middle class families want their kids going to schools that reflect the diversity of the society they will inherit.)
But here's the rub: Rather than settling into a nice racial balance, several D.C. schools are on their way to flipping from all-black to all-white in just a few years. Go visit schools like Brent on Capitol Hill or Ross in Dupont Circle and you'll notice that their fourth-graders are mostly African-American and their Kindergarteners are mostly white. Follow that trend for a few more years and say goodbye to our once-in-a-lifetime shot at integrated schools.
At these rapidly changing schools, white families?who now live ?in boundary??are inadvertently pushing out black ?out of boundary? families who come from other nearby neighborhoods. And many of these white middle class parents?at least many that I've spoken to?want their schools to remain diverse, but feel powerless to keep the Big Flip from happening.
Even charter schools?which don't have ?in boundary? families at all?are facing kindred challenges. The high-performing E.L. Haynes Public Charter School, for instance, has seen its proportion of low-income students decline as affluent (mostly white) parents apply in droves. Because the school is required to select students via a blind lottery, the more affluent parents that apply, the more who are likely to get in.
So what to do? One possibility is to move to some version of ?controlled choice,? whereby public officials would work to manage enrollment at D.C. schools in order to create more socio-economic balance. (A Supreme Court decision a few years ago made overt management by race unallowable.) This sort of effort comes in several flavors; here are the major options:
To be sure, Option 1 is probably a non-starter. If implemented, you'd see liberal Chevy Chase residents turn into Tea Partiers overnight, as their property values would plummet once their expensive houses no longer came with a guaranteed enrollment in Lafayette. Option 2 might be more palatable, but would lead to huge conflicts too, especially if officials didn't grandfather students into their current schools. Option 3 is probably most doable?but would only impact a handful of schools.
What's more important than any of the details, though, is starting this conversation. Whatever you might think of gentrification, it's a bona fide phenomenon in the District and shows no signs of slowing down. Wouldn't we be smart to seize the opportunities it provides?

MIXCLOUD MONDAY: Luistertest Hellvete by Gonzocircus on Mixcloud
González & Steenkiste – Dimly Lit
June 15, 2014
It has been quite some time since Ernesto and I put some energy captured on tape out there, so we both are particularly happy to share with you our new cassette album "Dimly Lit". Its sound is a bit more sombre, tragic even, but not straying too far away from the inherent warmth of our music. Recorded under the dim light of the Smokey Room in Sint Denijs, these four improvised pieces speak of the uncertain paths we take in this cycle of our existence, like walking through fog or dark corridors, casting strange shadows in our hearts and minds. We must never lose hope in the light that is within us, no matter how faint. Magnificent artwork by Christian Schoppik, edition of 100 copies, contact Fort Evil Fruit to order!
"Though their acoustic drone is transcendental in intent, this is very physical music, achieved by constant motion – wheezing harmonium bellows, resinous violin bowing and rattling prayer bowls. The duo's musicality and attention to tone, texture and pace make for a richly colourful listen that sounds different on every spin. Drone that's more likely to get you punching the air than nodding off." (Fort Evil Fruit)

Hellvete – Ode
March 1, 2014
Super happy to announce that the new Hellvete album, titled "Ode", is out now on Deep Distance.
Many thanks to Dom for making this happen and to Ivan for the gorgeous artwork.
Eternal love to Evy for standing the day in and day out rumble coming out of the Sint-Denijs HQ.
Deep Distance is releasing the new LP from Glen Steenkiste's HELLVETE project. Arguably best known as one of the founding members of Belgian collective; the incredible Sylvester Anfang and it's SAII recent incarnation. "Ode" is his third LP following previous, always amazing, sold out cassettes, cdrs and wax on labels as diverse as Kraak, Sloow Tapes, Funeral Folk, Blackest Rainbow and SicSic tapes to name but a few.
"Ode" continues Glen's recent slant towards longer compositional pieces with 2 sidelong drones, which in his own words "document the ongoing search for sustained notes, flickering overtones and blissful environments".
Recorded prior to his last LP " Sint-Denijs" in 2011 and is "in praise to all things that bring and inspire great joy. A quest for focus in an impulse overloaded age. Like a weaver combining all the yarns into one delicate woven lace".
A beautiful LP on both the ear and the eye- wonderful sleeve art and an edition of 300 only on ultra clear vinyl. Expected to move fast, as per previous output for label and artist.
Order: Deep Distance

Denkō Chōjin Gridman (電光超人グリッドマン, "Electric Superhuman Gridman") is a Japanese tokusatsu "Giant Hero" series by Tsuburaya Productions, the producers of Ultraman. The show ran from 1993 to 1994. It was adapted Power Rangers-style by DiC Entertainment into Superhuman Samurai Syber-Squad. This would be Tsuburaya's last non-Ultra superhero production until Bio Planet WoO. Most of Gridman's production crew would later worked on Ultraman Tiga.Shot on live video, Gridman was the first Tsuburaya series to use D-2 digital video for its special effects scenes, allowing for smoother slow-motion photography.

Watching it again reminded me how remarkably the sound engineers did their jobs. Listen to the subtly amplified heartbeat - Ripley's? the ship's? - that pulses under the soundtrack through the last 15 minutes.
This is a five star film because it is one of the most perfect science fiction thrillers of all time.
With the visuals and soundtrack given a wax and polish job for the big screen, Scotts masterful use of shadows, framing and sound has never been more terrifying. No matter how many times youve seen this, youll still be hiding behind your fingers at every conceivable juncture.
This edition -- clean and tight as Scott would have it -- presents a strong case for Alien as both the greatest horror film and the greatest science-fiction film ever made.
Pay attention to the enhanced detail audible in a new six-track sound mix, which may be the most important cleaning job of all; silence and Jerry Goldsmith's score have never twined so hauntingly.
I recognize how few horror movies I've seen before or since that ever manage to capture such a tangible feeling of menace.
This is the breakout role for Sigourney (née Susan) Weaver, whose iconic presence still propels this ride beyond the scores of substandard imitations that followed. Why see it on the big screen? Because it's bloody brilliant.
The scariest movie in history is actually a bit shy. The subtle, romantic score by Jerry Goldsmith is what keeps the tension at a simmer.
A landmark film, the unnecessary tinkering has not perceptibly harmed its overall effectiveness and it's a special Halloween treat to see it digitally spruced up and on the big screen for the first time in 25 years.
Despite years of imitators, sequels (some great, some not so), and edited-for-television broadcasts, Alien has lost none of its power, and the big screen only intensifies its impact.
Twenty-four years later -- digitally spruced up, with some scenes shaved and others padded with previously cut material -- Scott's film still shreds nerves.
Mostly it's worth seeing Alien, which established Scott as an A-list director, in a theater because his brilliant and often expansive visuals have always worked better on a big screen than on video.
What's most unusual about the original 24 years later, though, is its elegant minimalism.
The most important features of this "new" version are the digital cleaning of the print and the re-mastering of the sound. There are a few added scenes, but they are mostly insignificant and have been previously seen (at least by fans of the movie) on the laserdisc or DVD releases.
Alien, even with some scene tinkering that has left this "director's cut" one minute shorter than its original release, is still one of the creepiest, scariest, most shocking films ever.

Rescue workers have recovered flight recorders from the crash site of the Malaysian airliner shot down in eastern Ukraine but pro-Russian separatists are keeping hold of them.
Rescue workers have recovered flight recorders from the crash site of the Malaysian airliner shot down in eastern Ukraine but pro-Russian separatists are keeping hold of them.
Thousands of pro-Palestinian protesters have marched across Europe, calling on their governments to condemn Israel's military bombardment of Gaza.
Pro-Russian separatists say they have loaded a train with 196 bodies recovered from the crash site of the Malaysian airliner shot down in eastern Ukraine.
Italian rescuers have found 18 bodies on a boat carrying hundreds of asylum-seekers and another died while being evacuated, the ANSA news agency reports.
World leaders have demanded an international investigation into the shooting down of a Malaysian airliner with 298 people on board, after Ukraine denied deploying missiles during fighting with pro-Russian rebels in eastern Ukraine.
Pro-Russia separatists in eastern Ukraine are being accused of blocking the investigation into the apparent shooting-down of a Malaysian passenger jet with 298 people on board.
Scores of leading AIDS research experts were among those killed when a Malaysian passenger jet crashed in Ukraine after being allegedly shot down.
Pro-Russian separatists have promised to cease fire for two to four days in eastern Ukraine to allow recovery work at the site where a Malaysian airliner carrying 298 people crashed, Russia's RIA news agency quoted a rebel leader as saying.
US President Barack Obama has said evidence so far indicates that Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 carrying 298 people was shot down by a surface-to-air missile from an area in Ukraine controlled by Russian-backed separatists.
An Italian appeals court has cleared Silvio Berlusconi of having sex with an underage prostitute and abuse of power in a surprise ruling that will strengthen the former prime minister on the political scene.

Archdiocese of Miami stands ready to help Haitians
Wednesday, January 13, 2010
John C. Favalora - The Archdiocese of Miami
Our hearts and prayers go out to the good people of Haiti as they suffer yet again more devastation, this time by a terrible earthquake. The Archdiocese of Miami has already begun efforts to assist the devastated areas. It especially saddens us to learn that Archbishop Joseph Serge Miot of Port-au-Prince was one of the victims.
Catholic Charities of Miami is accepting
with which we will purchase the needed items and get them to the area as soon as possible.
Aside from the loss of lives and homes, the people of Haiti will surely face serious consequences. We stand in solidarity with the Haitian people of South Florida as they grieve over the loss of loved ones and countrymen.
On this occasion, I strongly call upon President Obama to immediately grant Temporary Protective Status to all Haitians in our community. To attempt to repatriate them at this time would be to send them to a country in crisis and would certainly condemn them to probable, if not certain, death. This would be grossly inhumane and immoral on the part of the United States.
I urge the people of
South Florida to make their voices heard
in this effort for Temporary Protective Status. Please
the President, our two U.S. Senators and U.S. Representatives and urge them to take action immediately for the sake of the welfare of the Haitian community in the United States as well as in Haiti.
I urge the prayers of everyone on behalf of the earthquake victims and their dear families.
Finally, I am announcing that a special collection will be taken up in all of the churches of the Archdiocese this weekend (January 16-17). I urge all Catholics to come prepared to make a generous donation.

"I couldn't have been happier with the cards. (Took our family photo on a Sunday and received the cards on Tues.) The quality of the photo was excellent along with the paper the cards were printed on. It's also nice to have options with not only the layout but the desigh of the card itself. I chose a design that was 20 cents extra per card but it was worth it. Also, be aware of extra postage which is always stated. Being in such a hurry I missed that minor detail but again I was so happy to have cards that the extra postage was no big deal."
"Loved this design. The paper quality is once again substantial and of excellent quality. The colors came through even better than in the online version. My photos came through as clear and as crisp as they were in the originals, so well done tinyprints. This year I opted for the 2 day editing help. Thank goodness I did. ONE day after submitting my card, I got a call from one of the design people (on a SUNDAY!) who took out an unsightly fire extinguisher I had mentioned and also the unfortunate name tag visible on my lapel. Done! Perfect! Thank you tinyprints and thank you for actually getting my holiday cards to me A DAY EARLY! Wow. I am already a loyal tiny prints customer, but this year's experience certainly sealed it for me."
"I am a graphic designer so i am very particular about paper, printing & design. The gold foil swayed me to take a chance this year by ordering holiday cards and not making my own as i have for the past 15 years. I was so pleasantly surprised that the cards were even nicer than i imagined. The shiny foil, heavy paper, rich colors and interesting type made me proud to send these out. I know how expensive it is to print with foil, and am impressed that tiny prints have figured out a way to offer this in small quantities. To make me even more pleased, i got my cards a week earlier than estimated."
"Love our holiday cards. The design is beautiful and the foil printing is absolutely gorgeous. Very happy and love Baumbirdy!"
"I love the that the card is an ornament for friends and family to display on their tree. Shipping was super slow but according to tracking there was a storm that delayed shipping. I still got my cards in plenty of time to send out so not horrible."

NEW YORK (AP) - L'Wren Scott has left her entire estate to longtime boyfriend and Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger.
The Daily News says papers filed in Manhattan's Surrogate's Court on Wednesday estimated the value of the 49-year-old designer's personal estate at $9 million.
The filing said Scott's main asset was her Manhattan condo worth approximately $8 million. Other items included her jewelry, clothing, household furnishings and personal automobiles.
A small and private funeral service was held for Scott in Los Angeles on Tuesday.
Scott committed suicide on March 17 in New York.

UK online ad spending will pass £3bn this year, according to a new report by eMarketer which also predicts that internet users will spend longer online. E-commerce will also thrive, passing £50bn, as more consumers avoid the stress of crowded transport systems and city centres to shop from home. The report's author, Karin von Abrams, said: "Search-related advertising will remain the primary focus of the UK market for some time to come." (Via mad.co.uk)

Some nights, Curtis Miller has seen his team play solid defense.
Other nights, not so much.
Midland Trail's 62-54 defeat of rival Fayetteville Saturday at the Fayette County Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Building fell into the latter category.
Labeling the Patriot win "very ugly," Miller said his team's defensive play was unacceptable. "One game we'll play our best effort defensively, and the next game we'll have absolutely no effort. This was the worst defensive effort we've had all year."
The Patriots, though, did enough to keep the Pirates on the ropes most of the night. An inbound 3-point goal by Jake Grimmett pushed the Midland Trail lead to 54-40 with 3:35 left, but Fayetteville stayed in the fight. A pair of 3-pointers by Aaron Krise in the closing minutes pulled the Pirates back to within single digits, but they could get no closer than eight points.
"Midland Trail played hard," said Fayetteville coach Todd Mann. "We took a lot of good shots, but we just couldn't get the shots to fall.
"We just have to be able to finish."
The Patriots utilized a 12-0 spurt spanning the end of the first period and the beginning of the second to break open an 8-8 game. The lead stood at 34-24 midway through the third stanza on a Tyler Skaggs drive, but the Pirates crept to within 40-32 at the end of the quarter on a Tyler McVey deuce with 0:23 to go.
Midland Trail, which won the first meeting between the two teams 69-44, placed five players in double figures in the scoring column Saturday. Rickie Carter led the way with 16 points, Collin Carte provided 13, and Grimmett, Skaggs and Austin Burdette scored 10 apiece.
Krise and Zach Semple netted 14 points each to power the Pirates. McVey and L.J. White chipped in eight each.
"In the first half, we stayed on the 3 line," said Miller, who also said his squad, which made nine of 18 attempts at the charity stripe, must shoot free throws better. "In the second half, we started penetrating to the basket (and got higher-percentage field goal attempts).
"Tyler Skaggs played a great game penetrating and getting the ball to the bigs, Rickie Carter hit the boards hard, and Austin Burdette played hard. I was just disappointed with our defense."
Mann, who also lamented his team's free throw shooting (3 for 12), said the Pirates were able to keep Midland Trail in sight, but "we just couldn't get over the hump."
Midland Trail (8-11) entertains Class A No. 7 Greater Beckley Christian tonight. The Patriots dropped a 72-62 decision to the Crusaders early last week.
Fayetteville (5-15) is slated to host Meadow Bridge Thursday.

I am not convinced that the South Korean strategy will result in Nobel Prizes that would not otherwise have been awarded, but we will see. In the meantime, I wonder why it should matter so much. More generally, why should it matter so much to the citizens of any nation that it be considered the best?
Many of us feel that it does matter. As an American, I acknowledge that I followed the 2008 Olympic medal tallies very closely, wanting the United States to win more gold medals than China, or at least more total medals, or at least more medals with athletes who met minimum age requirements, or more something, or more anything, even when I had no idea what the events entailed. As an Ann Arborite, I acknowledge that I want the Michigan Wolverines to win the BCS title game someday, if only so I can stop pretending that "Hail to the Victors" is a song about the 43 currently-enrolled University of Michigan students named Victor. And as a psychologist, I acknowledge that I remain excited that Daniel Kahneman - another psychologist - received the 2002 Nobel Memorial Prize for Economics. Why should it matter so much to be the best or - in the case of Nobel Prizes, Olympic gold medals, or football championships - to share an identity with those who are the best?
