A day after his impressive final breeze before the Belmont Stakes, California Chrome was feeling good when walking the shed row this morning.
"Chrome came out of the work in great shape," said Alan Sherman, son and assistant of trainer Art Sherman. "He was pulling [exercise rider] Willie [Delgado] around the shed row this morning. Everything is cold and tight and we're ready for Saturday."
Ride On Curlin, who finished second to California Chrome in the Preakness Stakes put in his breeze this morning, working seven furlongs in 1:28.03. Trainer Billy Gowan was happy with the work, which he watched with Ride On Curlin's new jockey John Velazquez. Velazquez won both the 2007 and 2012 Belmont Stakes and will be Ride On Curlin's third jockey of the Triple Crown series.
Ride On Curlin will walk the shedrow on Monday and return to the track on Tuesday.
"We'll just gallop him easy. He doesn't need much," Gowan said. "We'll probably take him slow every day, and just keep him happy. I'm just happy with the way my horse is going. We come in every morning, and he's hollering for his feed. He's just a tough horse."
Wicked Strong, fourth in the Kentucky Derby, also worked on Sunday. The colt breezed five furlongs in 59.10 seconds, the fastest of the five horses to work the distance on Belmont's training track. Wicked Strong was breezing behind 2013 Belmont Stakes winner Palace Malice and the 3-year-old colt's trainer thought he may have seen last year's victor in front of him during the breeze.
"It was a little fast, but [exercise rider Kevin Pahal] saw me put my hand up to slow down, and he did," trainer Jimmy Jerkins said. "He didn't pull him back, but he didn't urge him any. It looked like he saw [Palace Malice and Celebrator] ahead of him and really got into gear around the turn and was approaching them fast, which is why I slowed him down. Sometimes they [catch horses ahead of them]. You don't mind them doing it if [the other horses] are only a few lengths in front, but when they are six lengths in front it's a different story. But it was good. I'm happy with it."

Commanding Curve also had his first and only work on Belmont's main track on Sunday. He covered four furlongs in 47.38, the third fastest of the distance. While he is trained by Dallas Stewart, he worked with trainer Tom Albertrani's Cost Effective, who finished about a length behind him. Commanding Curve is looking to upset the Triple Crown after finishing second in the Kentucky Derby.
Todd Pletcher worked his Belmont hopefuls Commissioner and Matterhorn together with the pair working four furlongs in 49.86 and 49.90, respectively.
Matuszak also put in his final work, breezing five furlongs in 1:00.94 for trainer Bill Mott. It was the fourth straight five furlong work for the colt over Belmont's main track. Two of those works were bullets, with Matuszak working 59.88 on May 12 and 59.70 on May 19. Mott admits that Matuszak is a long shot but believes he is coming around at the right time. He won the 2010 Belmont with Drosselmeyer.
Tonalist, who worked yesterday, jogged 1 ½ miles and went to the gate this morning.

Fluvanna County's largest community is urging supervisors to hold off on a pair of decisions that could turn a trickle of economic development into a pouring tap of growth. It all hinges on two proposed water projects.
The Lake Monticello Owners Association sent a letter to the Board of Supervisors just days before Wednesday's water debates asking the board to delay any deals to pump a public water supply through the county.
"We had too many questions we couldn't answer," said Valeria Palamountain, president of the LMOA.
Palamountain's questions have her calling on Fluvanna supervisors to put a plug on any decision to supply water to parts of the county.
"It's very expensive, and it will take money out of our county budget as well as future tax dollars as well as our water rates," Palamountain said.
But the board is poised to make a pair of deals to pump water to homes and businesses.
"We need to bring something more to the table than just a thimble full of water. We need gallons of it," said Shaun Kenney, chairman of the Fluvanna County Board of Supervisors.
The first proposal would allow Aqua Virginia to build a pipeline from the Lake Monticello facility to Zion Crossroads. It would bring water to an area near the intersection of routes 250 and 15 at a cost to the county of about $912,000 a year.
Kenney says it's Fluvanna's pipeline to economic development.
"If we're ever going to have any chance of properly funding schools, deputies, and alleviating the tax burden on residential homeowners, Aqua Virginia is the way to go," Kenney said.
Supervisors are also considering a deal to build a pipeline from the James River. Louisa and Fluvanna would split the $3.3 million cost of the portion the two counties could share for water in the future.
"We can go ahead and actually start building a water infrastructure backbone here in Fluvanna to help spur economic development," Kenney said.
Palamountain says Lake Monticello property owners don't feel confident the county's tapped into all its options.
"Yes, we're concerned about our neighbors in Louisa and surrounding counties. But it's our tax dollars in Fluvanna we're concerned about," Palamountain said.
Kenney said, "There's literally millions of gallons of water at stake and quite frankly the future of Fluvanna County."
The public hearing on the Aqua Virginia deal starts at 7 p.m. Wednesday at Fluvanna County High School. A final vote is likely at least a month away.
Supervisors are expected to vote on the James River pipeline project Wednesday.

|Vilas County Court report
Rosner bound over in stabbing;
Shumake reaches plea agreementBy Ken Anderson
News Correspondent
A 28-year-old Eagle River man, allegedly involved in the stabbing of a pregnant woman last month, was bound over for arraignment after Vilas County Circuit Judge Neal A. Nielsen III found probable cause that at least two felonies had been committed.
Andrew Rosner is charged with two counts of attempted first-degree intentional homicide by use of a dangerous weapon in connection with an alleged stabbing of Morgan Maney, 20, also of Eagle River, and her unborn child on Feb 1. Each felony count carries a maximum 60-year prison sentence.
At the preliminary hearing last Tuesday, Vilas County District Attorney Albert Moustakis questioned Vilas County Sheriff's Department Detective Charisse Rozga-Anderson, who told the court she interviewed Maney at St. Joseph's Hospital in Marshfield following the incident.When asked who and where Maney was stabbed, Rozga-Anderson told the court Maney said, "It was her boyfriend Andy Rosner on Highway 70 near Big Bear Lane."
Rozga-Anderson went on to testify Maney indicated she was about four months pregnant and noted she and Rosner had listened to the baby's heartbeat Jan. 31 at a prenatal appointment. Rozga-Anderson said she was told they were arguing about Maney's infidelity and "he wanted to know details about the relationship with the other individual."
The detective said Maney told her she was driving about 50 to 55 mph "when he grabbed her hair and stabbed her in the chest," and she stopped the vehicle. While Rosner was leaving the vehicle, Maney told Rozga-Anderson that he stated, "I hope you bleed to death."
Moustakis questioned if the wound was close to Maney's heart and if the unborn child was in danger. Rozga-Anderson replied she has not seen the medical record, but said she was told, "It was my understanding the wound was close to the heart and if the bleeding was not stopped, it would affect the unborn child and if she died (so would the fetus)."
Rozga-Anderson also said there was an injury to Rosner in the form of a laceration of his pinkie finger. She said upon examination of a flat tire on Maney's vehicle, the sheriff's office found a linear slash mark on the tire. The knife alleged to have been used by Rosner has not yet been found.
Public Defender Maggie Hogan asked several questions of Rozga-Anderson, including if Maney indicated Rosner was looking through her cell phone messages to which the response was, "She did not share that with me."
On redirect, Moustakis asked if there were signs of blood on the slashed tire, with the detective indicating another officer said there was a "red substance" on it.
Moustakis filed the information with the court and Judge Nielsen bound Rosner over for arraignment. He will enter a plea to the charges Monday, March 17, at 10:30 a.m. Rosner's $50,000 cash bail remains unchanged and he remains in custody.
Schumake avoids trial
The third and final person connected to marijuana growing operations on S. Farming Road in Arbor Vitae and Whisky Trail north of Eagle River reached a plea agreement in Vilas County Circuit Court last Tuesday, avoiding a scheduled four-day jury trial.
Kevin Shumake, 41, was originally charged with six felony counts involving growing marijuana and criminal damage to property when taken into custody after a raid at 1399 S. Farming Road in February 2012.
Also taken into custody were Ramon Pineiro, 36, of Goldbar, and James Lacson, 36, of Margate, Fla.
According to District Attorney Moustakis, he recommended the court accept a plea arrangement that would have Shumake plead guilty or no contest to one count of maintaining a drug trafficking place.
Moustakis said four other felony counts would be dismissed and one count of criminal damage to property would be read in for the purpose of restitution.
"I will recommend two years' probation, six months in the county jail and $4,500 in restitution," Moustakis told Judge Nielsen. "The defense is free to argue for less."
The state also filed two civil suits against Shumake for a seized 2002 Ford Explorer and a utility cargo trailer, which they will forfeit, according to the agreement.
Shumake then pleaded no contest and was found guilty on one count, with the others dismissed.
Judge Nielsen ordered a presentence investigation be done by the state probation and parole office, with sentencing set for April 7. The cargo trailer will be turned over to the sheriff's department and Shumake will be allowed to sell the vehicle with proceeds applied to restitution.
The count of maintaining a drug trafficking place is a Class I felony punishable by three and one-half years in prison, with an initial incarceration of one and one-half years.
Pineiro entered pleas to one count of possession of marijuana and two counts of criminal damage to property last April. He has a sentencing date of March 17.
Lacson was found guilty of three felonies after a jury trial last August and was sentenced to a year in jail and three years probation.
Shumake remains free on a $1,500 cash bond.
In other felony cases, Kurt M. Waters, 49, of Land O' Lakes, charged with three counts of manufacturing or delivery of marijuana and one count of maintaining a drug trafficking place, had an initial appearance adjourned to March 24 at 10 a.m. His $1,500 cash bail has been paid.
According to the complaint, Waters allegedly sold marijuana in three controlled purchases May 9, May 17 and June 12, 2012, and operated a drug trafficking place from May 9 to June 12, 2012, in Land O' Lakes.
Michael N. Larson, 28, of Conover, charged with disorderly conduct, repeater, had a plea and sentencing hearing adjourned to April 4 at 9:30 a.m. According to the complaint, officers responded to a domestic violence call Oct. 6, 2013, at a residence in Eagle River. Larson allegedly slapped a woman in the face during an argument.
Jeffrey J. Bauman Jr., 18, of Lac du Flambeau, pleaded no contest and was found guilty to charges of possession of a firearm on school grounds, attempting to flee or elude a traffic officer and escape in a plea agreement. Charges of disorderly conduct, second-degree recklessly endangering safety, obstructing an officer and operating without a license were dismissed in the plea agreement. A presentence investigation was ordered and sentencing was set for April 14 at 3 p.m.
According to the complaint, Bauman was carrying a .30-.30 rifle on Lac du Flambeau School grounds Sept. 29, 2013, and walked away from St. Joseph's Hospital in Marshfield Oct. 29, 2013, after he faked paralysis to his lower extremities.
Bert J. LaBarge Jr., 34, of Lac du Flambeau, charged with false imprisonment, felony battery and felony disorderly conduct, all as a repeater, had a preliminary hearing set for March 12 at 9 a.m. His $1,000 cash bond was continued. with the condition he has no contact with the victim, not to possess or consume intoxicants and no taverns.
According to the complaint, LaBarge had a physical altercation with a woman
Feb. 8, allegedly pulling her hair, pushing her to the floor and kicking her in the ribs.News-Review Editor Gary Ridderbusch contributed to this article.

BOSTON (AP) - Update: A federal judge in Massachusetts says he won't order more hair-removal treatments for a transgender inmate who won a court order for taxpayer-funded sex-change surgery.
Judge Robert Wolf also ruled Tuesday that the gender reassignment surgery he ordered for Michelle Kosilek in September will be on hold until the state appeals his ruling.
Kosilek, convicted in the 1990 murder of wife Cheryl Kosilek, was born male but has received hormone treatments and now lives as a woman in an all-male prison.
Wolf said Tuesday that additional electrolysis for Michelle Kosilek would have to be part of a new case.
The state Department of Correction has said it discontinued electrolysis treatments after finding Kosilek had already received significant hair removal and her remaining hair could be removed by shaving or depilatories.
Previous Report:
MONROE, La., (KNOE 8 News & AP) - The chief psychiatrist for the Massachusetts Department of Correction says a transgender inmate who won a court order for taxpayer-funded sex-change surgery has no medical need for further electrolysis treatments.
Dr. Robert Diener testified Monday on Michelle Kosilek's request to have additional hair-removal treatments. Diener said he evaluated Kosilek in 2010 and again last month and concluded that Kosilek's anxiety level hasn't changed, even though she hasn't had electrolysis treatments since 2008.
Under questioning by Kosilek's lawyer, Diener said he was told that prison officials stopped electrolysis after seven treatments because it was too expensive.
Judge Mark Wolf didn't immediately rule.
Prison officials are appealing Wolf's ruling ordering sex-reassignment surgery for Kosilek.
Kosilek was born male and named Robert when convicted of the 1990 murder of wife Cheryl Kosilek.

I posted a while back about the Monday night game in New England. I'm going, as a Jets fan, with two friends. I fully expect to be ridiculed, have stuff thrown at me, and feel unsafe the entire game. None of us realized this would be SUCH an important game when we bought the tickets. I've never been to a football game as a visiting fan. I look forward to the excitement.
We'd like to get there early and tailgate. Wondering if anyone else is planning on attending and if they'd like to join us in the parking lot. To sweeten the deal, the head tailgater in our crew is a graduate of the French Culinary Institute here in Manhattan.
Maybe we can film some of it and post it on the website later that week.
A friend took me to a Giants/Eagles game at Lincoln Financial about four years ago and I had the pleasure of watching an Eagles fan smash a bottle over the head of a guy wearing a Jeremy Shockey jersey. Which Jets jersey do you think has might have the same effect among fans in Foxboro?

Mariambad (Fides Service) – "I am truly grateful to the people of Mariambad for their generous collaboration in welcoming pilgrims from all over the country" said Archbishop Lawrence Saldhana of Lahore in his address for the opening of the 54th pilgrimage, 5-7 September, to the national Marian Shrine of Mariambad, 90 km from Lahore the main city of Punjab.
Every year believers of all ages and states of life, clergy, religious, laity, families make their way to Mariambad (Mary's City) for three days of prayer and inner healing. Many of the pilgrims are Muslims and this is seen as a positive factor for improving Christian-Muslim relations in Pakistan. It is estimated that the pilgrims were at least 500,000: they came on foot, on bicycles, public or private transport to pray for special graces though the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary. For the Catholic community in Pakistan, the pilgrimage known as Ziarat is a central annual event.
Reflecting on this year's theme for the pilgrimage "Our Lady and a Church where everyone participates actively" the Archbishop underlined the important role of "young people and women in the Church: they too must share their talents for the good of the community." Calling those present to pray "for ourselves, for our nation, for peace in the world" he reminded the Catholics present that the last eleven months have been the Year of the Rosary, proclaimed by Pope John Paul II: "the Holy Father called for this Year of the Rosary in order to put prayer and particularly this Marian prayer back at the heart of Christian family life".
Thanking the organisers at the end of the pilgrimage, Bishop Joseph Coutts of Faisalabad praised the organising committee for the welcome offered. Father Francis Nadeem OFM Cap., said "Our Lady is mediatrix between God and man. She intercedes for us like a good mother who attends to the needs of her children". Dominican Father Zafar Iqbal said he hoped the laity would be ever more active in the Church, side by side with clergy and religious. Announcing the date for next year's Ziarat, 3-5 September, Father Joseph Nisari, organising committee Secretary said "this is an event which strengthens the faith". Mariambad Shrine was founded in 1949 by Belgian Capuchin Father Frank who died a martyr. PA (Fides Service 10/9/2003 EM lines 38 Words: 478)

→ More Than A Pardon
If there's a leak out of my administration, I want to know who it is. If the person has violated law, that person will be taken care of.
-President Bush, February 11, 2004
And so he shall. In a fit of contempt for the citizens of this country, President Bush commuted Vice President Dick Cheney's former Chief of Staff I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, Jr's sentence to no jail time, a $250,000 fine (reportedly to be paid by the likes of Fred Thompson) and two years probation.
"I respect the jury's verdict," Bush said in a written statement. "But I have concluded that the prison sentence given to Mr. Libby is excessive. Therefore, I am commuting the portion of Mr. Libby's sentence that required him to spend 30 months in prison."
Just to clarify, the commutation of Libby's sentence is far worse than a pardon. Here's why: not only is it now far less likely that "Scooter" will squeal like a pig, but if he were pardoned he would forfeit his Fifth Amendment rights. With the commutation of his sentence, he retains them. Isn't that nice?
Happy 4th, everybody!

UPDATE: Oxford homes have energy returned after power cut
Updated 5:20pm Sunday 18th May 2014 in News
AN ELECTRICTY fault left more than 1,000 homes in Oxford without power this morning.
Southern Electric spokeswoman Lisa Marchi said the fault occurred shortly before 10.30am and affected 1,427 customers in the OX1 and OX2 postcode areas.
By 1.45pm, 361 homes were still to have their power restored.
Power had been restored to all those affected by 3.40pm.
Investigations into the fault have now suggested it was related to an underground cable.

A man has been arrested following a crash and bizarre behavior on I49 Sunday afternoon. Shreveport Police say it happened just before 1 p.m. Witnesses reported seeing a man driving a gray Mitsubishi sedan heading northbound at excessive speeds, when he allegedly slammed into the rear end of a Cadillac sedan occupied by two senior citizens identified as Warren and Linda Windham of Shreveport. The force of the collision caused the Mitsubishi to flip several times and land on its side. According to police, the driver of the Mitsubishi, 37-year-old Weston Ericson of Diamond Head, Mississippi crawled from his vehicle, completely naked, and began to physically assault Mrs. Windham. Ericson was ultimately restrained by passing motorists who witnessed the attack and subdued him until officers arrived. Mrs. Windham received minor injuries. Mr. Windham was taken to the hospital with complaints of back and neck pain. Ericson, who sustained a possible broken arm in the crash, was taken to LSU Medical Center and ultimately charged with DWI first offense. Police say the investigation into the crash is ongoing.

Three Years Old, Black and Suspended
In the classroom, teachable moments are those unplanned occasions during which learning occurs, when lessons are sparked by real-life interactions that could never be predicted.
The epidemic of suspensions imposed on black preschoolers presents just such a teachable moment for teachers and school administrators.
tally on preschool suspensions is startling and distressing. Black children
make up 18 percent of the nation's preschoolers, but they represent nearly half
of the children in that age group who are suspended more than
once. Even a preschooler can see those numbers don't add up.
It's widely known that black students across all grade levels are suspended (and expelled) three times as often as their white peers. What's less understood is that the practice of defaulting to zero-tolerance "get-tough" suspensions and expulsions is trickling down from middle and high schools into preschools.
Researchers and activists have cautioned educators and criticized these policies, yet the practice continues with disturbing results—like 4-year-olds put out of school for temper tantrums.
"The first step is awareness, and that's a huge step at the preschool level," says Tunette Powell, whose 3-year-old has been suspended five times this year. The research is powerful. A city council member in the District of Columbia, calling preschool suspensions "ridiculous," introduced a bill to curtail the practice after a report drew awareness to the fact that district schools suspended preschoolers 181 times during the 2012-13 school year.
More superintendents are also raising the alarm about this issue. The School Superintendents Association and the Children's Defense Fund teamed up to study district-wide school discipline policies, and determined that nine out of 10 superintendents "believe there are negative consequences to the use of OSS [out-of-school suspension] in their districts."
While tackling excessive suspensions from a policy standpoint is essential, so is shaping teacher practice and providing professional development, something Powell sees as lacking.
"We see all of these studies, but the people we don't see using all of these studies are teachers in the classroom," she points out. "None of the preschool teachers at my son's school have seen the research."
contrasts the national push for early childhood education and the coming influx
of new preschool teachers with the lack of cultural competence training at the
preschool level. "We all carry these implicit biases," she says. "What's missing
is the opportunity to learn and grow and do better for kids. When we're
sending kids home at this age, 3- and 4-year-olds, it's saying we can't do
anything with you. You're already rejecting them at this early age."
Helping teachers get in touch with their biases is crucial to changing the nature of student interactions. Denver Public Schools made an intentional decision to design training and curricula to guide teachers to continually address their biases, implicit and explicit. The comprehensive program urges teachers to ask themselves key questions that get at the core of engaging with students of all races and ethnicities at any age, such as:
- Do I call on you?
- How do I view your skills and abilities?
- Am I connected to you?
- How do I advocate for you?
Preschool suspensions are prevalent and racial disparities exist, but the numbers don't explain why. For that, educators have to look more closely at themselves—a hard look at their own biases, beliefs, values and preferences.
"If you can see what you're doing wrong, then it becomes knowledge," says Powell. "I'm not here to badmouth. It's a system we created. We're all products of it. So how can we change it?"

¡Sí se puede!
I am a second-grade teacher. Many people ask me, "You teach second-graders about slavery, Jim Crow, sweatshops…?" Yes, I do! My students—young children—can understand complex systems of oppression and resistance by seeing justice as fairness, solidarity and collective power as teamwork, nonviolence as not hurting others and Jim Crow as unfair rules.
"¡Sí se puede!" and "Jim Crow must go!" are just two examples of the statements that my students have written, spoken, sung and chanted in my classroom. Students expressed these phrases within the context of a yearlong multidisciplinary social studies curriculum that traces the process of creating cotton clothing. Now you may ask, why focus on cotton clothing? It is a familiar garment to students and a lens through which we can examine systems of oppression—enslavement, sharecropping and sweatshops—and the mass movements that grew in response.
The curriculum engages and inspires my students to produce sophisticated, high-quality work—and to develop a social justice spirit. They learn that Frederick Douglass and Phillis Wheatley struggled to read and write, yet used these skills to confront slavery. They learn that the Nashville sit-ins were part of strategic campaigns to defy Jim Crow and that women and immigrants led the struggle for justice in the mills and garment shops. The curriculum shows students that people of color and women used the power of literacy, language, numeracy and other academic skills to defeat oppression—and that people can join together with allies to form mass movements that overcome bias. Students engage with these ideas through hands-on activities, including composing and presenting abolitionist speeches and organizing against unfair labor conditions in a workplace role-play.
Anti-bias topics are often taught in ways that burden—and even harm—young children. Tailoring the curriculum to the developmental level of 7- and 8-year-olds involves reminding myself not to focus on horror and despair. Instead, I focus on showing that resistance and collective action can—and has—overcome injustice. As I was told many years ago by diversity educator Dr. Clem Marshall, "Focus on the flames, not the ashes!" In my experience, this focus on the "flames" allows children to gain pride in their identities and fully engage in their studies.
What about the kids in my classroom whose identities reflect the dominant culture? How do I ensure that my teaching does not lead to feelings of guilt? My strategy involves teaching about white allies—William Lloyd Garrison, John Woolman, Pete Seeger and Freedom Riders. These people show us that anyone can be an ally in the struggle for human justice.
It is not fate that slavery was abolished, that women gained the right to vote, that polluted rivers have been cleaned or that our school is equipped with smoke detectors and fire sprinklers. All children need to learn that social movements do not just happen, but require the work and sacrifices of real people striving to improve the world. This awareness allows them to see the legacies of courage and collective resistance that we inherit and to understand that it will take continued struggles to face the power of polluters, corrupt bankers, homophobic legislators, xenophobic mobs and anti-labor groups.
I feel passionately that curricula infused with anti-bias and social justice principles are essential components of "high academic standards." Just as we must teach children to read critically and to write clearly, we must also provide them with curricula that support the development of strong identities dedicated to justice for all.

#dontshoot is one of several haunting hashtags that appeared after the death of Michael Brown, an 18-year-old student fatally shot by a police officer in Ferguson, Missouri, on August 9, 2014. The hashtag often appears linked to posted and tweeted photographs of African Americans with their arms held up to signal that they are unarmed. The number of these photos circulating has increased steadily in the days since Brown's death, as the details of the shooting slowly emerge and a community rife with grief and frustration protests the tragic loss of a young person.
Michael Brown could have been my student. Some years ago, I taught at Normandy Middle School in the school district from which "Big Mike" graduated. Students in the Normandy School District confront a host of issues and concerns that directly impact student achievement, including woefully inadequate resources and high rates of poverty and crime in their neighborhoods and municipalities. Recently, the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education dismantled the school district due to inadequate yearly progress, creating in its wake the Normandy Schools Collective.
Despite seemingly insurmountable circumstances, many of my colleagues continue to provide a quality education to their students. I am proud to have taught in Normandy School District and proud of the district's students and of my colleagues.
This should have been a time of celebration for Brown, a young man who overcame the obstacles inherent in this flawed educational system. Despite being a credit short when he walked in May, he received his high school diploma on August 1 and was scheduled to enroll at Vatterott College on August 11. Instead, he lay dead in the middle of a city street, shot down between an auspicious end and a bright beginning.
Reflecting upon the significance of another African-American man dead after an altercation with law enforcement (let us not forget Oscar Grant, Wendell Allen and Eric Garner, killed only weeks before), I am left wondering what we are teaching our students—not only our students in predominantly African-American schools, but all students across the United States. Racism does double duty. It harms us all in very real ways.
Jennings School District was forced to push back the first day of school as a precautionary measure due to community protests and riots after Brown's death. Ferguson-Florissant School District, where protesting continues, has postponed the first day of school. The students in these districts are hearing the message that we handle race, racism and racial tensions in the United States by avoiding them. Brown's death and the outpouring of protest it ignited is symbolic of racial tensions that have festered for too long. Instead of internalizing the events in Ferguson as racial protocol in our nation, students should be taught to be the voices of change and the enactors of justice.
It is incumbent upon all of us—in all communities, in all schools, and regardless of racial demographics—to teach students compassion for their peers. This includes the peers they sit beside and their peers in Normandy, Ferguson, Jennings and beyond. This isn't just a learning lesson for African-American students; it is a learning lesson for all students.
Every student matters.
Students across the country are beginning a new school year. Some will mature into law enforcement officers, healthcare professionals, service industry workers and civil employees. Educators have a unique opportunity to begin bridging the social chasms that divide us by fostering honest dialogue with these future adults. Schools can become the places where students learn to interrogate racial biases—and any biases—to restore our collective humanity.
One resource that supports an open and honest dialogue is Teaching Tolerance's Anti-bias Framework (ABF). The ABF offers K-12 standards that empower students to stand up against prejudice and injustice, to express empathy and compassion and to take action for a better world.
Healing can begin in our schools. Perhaps next year, retuning students will be using the hashtag:

This is Community
My 11th-grade U.S. history student Tashia talks about how statistics were used historically to make African Americans appear criminal and how many students of color today feel as if there's no way around the statistics. My head of school talks about how, during the backlash to Reconstruction, the dominant culture created a criminal justice system that disproportionately targeted African Americans—and how we see its effects today. Jeff, the father of one of my 10th-grade students, shares his own experience with union organizing and talks about the economic implications of mass incarceration.
It's a Tuesday night, and I'm sitting in a room at my school, listening to a diverse audience discussing race and justice in the United States following a screening of Slavery by Another Name. And I'm thinking, This is community.
This discussion occurred during a civil rights history film series co-sponsored by my school and Teaching for Change, a local non-profit organization that received a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities and the Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History. Teaching for Change helped advertise our film series, but we mainly used social media and email to invite the public. I offered extra credit to my students for attending and invited all of their parents to come as well.
The series created a space in which individuals from throughout our community—students, teachers, neighbors, administrators, parents and other partners—could come together and explore complex ideas about race, equity and justice through films.
The other organizers and I invited local scholars and activists to provide historical context for each film. (Never underestimate the power of film credits and the Internet to learn that well-known scholars may live in your neighborhood!) They answered audience members' questions and contributed to the sense of community and shared learning throughout the series.
After the expert or activist introduced each screening, we showed about an hour's worth of clips. Following the screening, everyone separated into discussion groups mixed across, age, race and school role. (I always knew that the discussion had been a success when I watched the attendees walk out with different people than they had walked in with!). We established these discussion guidelines:
- Speak your truth and honor others' perspectives.
- Speak from the "I" and reference the film when possible.
- Share air time with all participants.
- Listen to other participants and seek to understand.
- Be active, present and prepared to share with the large group!
We provided some discussion questions such as, "What connections do you see between the ideas, laws and systems in [Slavery by Another Name] to ideas, laws and systems that uphold racism today?" and "What did you learn from [The Loving Story] that you can apply to current debates over same-sex marriage?" We then spent some time as a large group sharing big insights from the small groups and extending conversations.
During the series, I was moved by the power of bringing people together to engage in challenging conversations. We had special moments, like meeting with Joan Mulholland, a former Freedom Rider, while screening clips from Freedom Riders and hearing parents and students alike ask her questions. They wanted to know what had motivated her to take action, whether she felt it was worth it and whether she would do it again. In their questions, the participants shared pieces of themselves, whether it was a student talking about the challenge of being nonviolent or a parent talking about his own experience at Tuskegee University.
I remember watching one of my students talking about the impact of gentrification on her community with a law school student who had formerly taught and served as one of my experts, and I knew that something had happened. Young people—who are often made to feel as if their voices don't matter—were being heard by adults. Parents whose primary interaction with our high school had been around their students' grades and behavior were talking to other young people about important issues in society and building their own understanding of important historical topics. The feedback forms collected after every screening asked for more discussion time.
This series helped bring us together, breaking down barriers that exist within and beyond the high school community. We had parents and their children, teachers and their supervisors, students and their teachers participating equitably, pushing each other's thinking and reaffirming a commitment to fight for a better future together.
This is community.

The Oakland Raiders defeated Kansas City on Sunday, setting them up in a position where a little help along with a win guarantees a playoff spot.
The odds the Raiders get that help are very good. Taking a look at the Vegas Betting Lines, the team the Raiders need to absolutely have lose is the Bengals, and they are a 2.5 dog at home to Baltimore. The Raiders also need the Broncos to lose at home to those same Kansas City Chiefs for a division title to be possible. I am shocked Vegas has the Broncos as the favorites in this game. We saw this very same game in 2009, and Kansas City whalloped Denver in week 17 to knock them out of the playoffs. Also, they just defeated the Packers two weeks ago, and just gave a great game to the Raiders, especially defensively. I expect the Broncos to lose, and lose by a sizeable margin. They look just awful right now, and nobody has more passion to throttle Denver right now than Kyle Orton.
So, assuming Denver loses as I expect, the division is there. But if Denver somehow regathers itself and Tebow Time comes, they will need more help than just Cincinnati losing for the wild card. Tennessee would also have to lose to Houston OR the Jets win and stay in the tiebreaker. For some reason, the Jets in the tiebreaker nullifies the conference record tiebreak, and then Oakland beats Cincinnati, NY Jets, and Tennessee in Strength of Victory.
Most important though will be the win. The Raiders are mathematically eliminated with a loss. Darren McFadden and Jacoby Ford (in my opinion, Oakland's 2 best players) are still up in the air to play Sunday. I think the Raiders need Jacoby Ford back so badly for kickoff returning and end around plays, because Louis Murphy and Bryan McCann are at best decent in filling in for him. Mike Bush has done a fantastic job for the Raiders replacing McFadden, and although the offense is much better with him than without him, Bush will suffice.
I will even go as far to say this: If Jacoby Ford plays Sunday, the Raiders will win and make the playoffs in some way.

By David Willis
---- — LOWELL — At just 18 years old with a baby face, lanky build and shy disposition, Jamie Callahan looks like a high schooler left over at LeLacheur Park from the state title games played here over the weekend.
Without a uniform, the unassuming righty easily blends into the crowd of young interns who man the park throughout the season.
But as he worked through his warmups on the field yesterday, in preparation for his start tomorrow, Callahan showed the stuff that makes him one of the most exciting prospects in the Boston organization
Callahan earned his first real taste of being a Red Sox prospect last night as a member of the Lowell Spinners. They opened their home schedule with a 5-1 victory over the Connecticut Tigers.
"This is quite an experience," said Callahan, the No. 27-ranked prospect in the organization. "It's pretty weird being so young and going through all of this. It's humbling. I feel very privileged to have this opportunity. This was the first time I really got to be in front of a crowd."
Callahan kicks off his second summer of professional baseball, after being selected by the Red Sox in the second round of the MLB draft last season when he was just 17.
"If we didn't think he was ready, he wouldn't be here," said Lowell Spinners manager Bruce Crabbe. "We are excited to see what he can do."
Callahan first began to create buzz as a first baseman his junior season at Dillon (S.C.) High, hitting .450 with seven homers and 45 RBIs.
But as a senior, he firmly established himself as a pitcher, finishing 7-1 with a 0.89 ERA and 113 strikeouts in only 50.0 innings pitched.
His talent, production and size — 6-foot-2, 210 pounds— began to draw the attention of scouts. He was ranked the No. 49 prospect overall by Baseball America, and ESPN even called the righty with the low 90s fastball and sharp slider a potential late first-round pick.
"It all went by so fast," he said. "I didn't really realize what was going on until it was almost over. I was meeting lots of people. Initially I had signed to play for South Carolina, and I was going there unless a team picked me in the first two rounds. I was going to come out if I was selected in the second round."
That is exactly what happened on draft day 2012, when the Sox picked Callahan in the second round, pick No. 87 overall.
So, at 17 years old, when classmates were worrying about proms and finding a summer job, Callahan was a member of the Boston Red Sox organization, signing a deal with a $600,000 signing bonus.
The teenager had to have a long talk with his parents before making his final decision.
"We talked and they felt like I was mature beyond my age," he said. "They thought I could handle it. Before I knew it I was on a plane to Boston for physicals, then I was thrown right into the process and was playing rookie ball."
Callahan reported to the Gulf Coast League, appearing in five games for the rookie league squad, allowing five hits and five runs in 8 2/3 innings.
He spent the early part of 2013 in extended spring training before reporting to Lowell last week. He was going to pitch the home opener, but got bumped back two days due to a rain out and a roster move.
"This is such a great environment," he said. "I've never played in front of anyone, and now I get to play in front of Red Sox fans and it is such an honor."
How he ranks
Callahan is one of two 18-year-olds on the roster, along with outfielder Manuel Margot, a native of the Dominican Republic. There are also two 19-year-olds, infielders Cleuluis Rondon of Venezuela and Tzu-Wei Lin of Taiwan.
The oldest Spinner is 29-year-old Matt Maloney, who is on an extended stay while rehabbing from Tommy John surgery.
One jewel to another
As a Red Sox farmhand, Jamie Callahan cannot help but dream of one day playing at Fenway Park.
If he does, it would be Callahan's second opportunity to pitch at one of Major League Baseball's crown jewel ballparks.
Two summers ago, Callahan had the opportunity to pitch at Wrigley Field in the Under Armour All-American Baseball Game, a that featured the best from the US, Canada, the Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico.
"It was awesome," he said. "Walking through the locker room, knocking all the history and all the players that have walked through there is pretty amazing. It was crazy.
"Maybe it will be Fenway next."
Opening Day at a glance
Kendrick Perkins was the hero in his second opening day as a Lowell Spinner, going 4 for 4 with a double and three RBIs in the 5-1 win over Connecticut. He is working his way back from a concussion.
"I've been trying not to put too much pressure on myself this season," said Perkins. "I wanted a fifth at-bat. I feel like I have grown as a hitter. Once I got hurt and went back to Florida, I really wanted to change my game." ...
The Connecticut Tigers featured a pair of familiar names. Starting left fielder Ben Verlander is the younger brother of Detroit Tigers ace and 2011 AL MVP Justin Verlander and DH Pat Leyland is the son of Detroit manager Jim Leyland.
Verlander was selected in the 14th round of the 2013 draft and Leyland was taken in the eighth round last season. …
Watertown police chief Ed Deveau, who played a major role in the manhunt following the Boston Marathon terrorist bombings, and two of his officers threw out the first pitch.

By Jennifer Emert - bio | email ALBANY, GA (WALB) – An early season deep freeze has south Georgia heating contractors working non-stop to fix broken heating units.
The Arctic chill is expected to continue through Friday. Many heat pumps and furnaces are stressed because they're not getting a break... even during daylight hours.
Tuesday's high didn't make it into the 50's, which means a lot of heating units didn't get a break. With temperatures expected in the 20's again overnight, those systems will continue to run.
If you didn't have that system services in September or October when the mercury was much warmer, you may find yourself without heat.
There's important work being done at the side of Brittany Lawton's Doublegate home, especially since two year old Luke is just getting over pneumonia.
"I woke up and it was really cold and I looked at the thermostat and it said 60 degrees and I said something's not right," said Homeowner Brittany Lawton.
Her first call was to Pollock's Heating and Cooling. Several chilly hours later they diagnosed the problem.
"It's not going into defrost, so its freezing up and we need to replace the defrost control board," said Heating Repair Technician Curtis Harrison.
She's not alone. "When it gets below 35, the phones start ringing," said Billy Goodson of Pollock's Heating and Cooling.
Leaving Pollock employees on the phone for hours in the last few days trying to get the parts they need for repairs. In southwest Georgia there's not typically a large stock of replacement heating parts.
"We're getting to everybody as fast as we can and we'll work daylight to dark, but there's only so many hours to do it," said Goodson.
That's why heating contractor recommend regular maintenance. "Keeping that filter clean, and keeping the outdoor unit, especially on a heat pump, making sure the outdoor part is unobstructed," said Goodson.
and not setting the thermostat too high or too low during the day, creating stress on your heating system.
"You're cooling the air off, and the carpet, and the furniture, and the curtain and there's a lot of stuff to heat back up," said Goodson.
The Lawton's problem was unavoidable, but fixed in an hour. "I was worried we were going to go somewhere else to camp out tonight, so."
An experience that's made the family more conscious of what a luxury it is to have a warm home when the temperatures outside are below freezing.

Feel free to jump to 2:45 to hit the relevant bit where Dick Morris admits that when the Romney campaign was in dire straits, Morris made the "Romney will win in a landslide" prediction not because it was true but because he thought it would help Romney win. Early in the interview, he proclaimed that he was "working hard for Romney". Of course, Morris then immediately realizes what he just said and attempts to claim that he really believed Romney would win in that landslide, but he can't have it both ways.
- He saw the Romney campaign failing and support waning.
- He made the landslide prediction to help boost Romney's campaign--not because of facts or evidence, but as a partisan hack of a pundit lying to you to boost his candidate.
- Romney lost in the reverse of the landslide that Morris, without facts or evidence, "predicted".
If you continue to hold Dick Morris up as anything other than a lying, manipulative, partisan hack, you are one of these:
We must be watching two different videos. He said that he felt it was important for him to say what he said (when the campaign wasn't doing well) but at the time he believed it and felt it was right. Go watch it again.

Temple enters new agreement with Fox Chase Cancer Center
The School of Medicine, the Temple University Health System and the Fox Chase Cancer Center have entered into a new academic and clinical affiliation agreement, enabling the institutions to continue to coordinate the training of students and residents, the clinical care of oncology patients and clinical trials through 2007.
Under the new agreement, the Fox Chase Temple Cancer Center at the Health Sciences Center will now be known as the Temple Cancer Center. An executive committee consisting of one member each from Fox Chase, the School of Medicine and the Health System will oversee the affiliation. Joel Richter, professor and chair of medicine, will represent the School of Medicine on the committee.
School of Medicine establishes neuroscience department
From advanced treatments for disorders such as Alzheimer's disease, depression, epilepsy and multiple sclerosis, to newly developed therapies including stem cell technology and gene therapy, neuroscience has emerged as one of the most rapidly developing fields in modern medicine. Recognizing neurological science as a core discipline, the Board of Trustees recently approved the establishment of a neuroscience department at the School of Medicine.
This new basic science department will serve as an interdisciplinary center for research, education and advances in patient care. Research priorities will build upon the existing strengths at Temple and create an environment that encourages interdisciplinary collaboration.
A national search is currently under way to recruit a chair as well as faculty who would have their primary appointments in the department of neuroscience. Existing faculty in the School of Medicine will be eligible for a joint appointment.
Independent developers to add retail, housing to Broad Street
The Redevelopment Authority of Philadelphia recently named developers to the empty parcel of land at Broad Street and Cecil B. Moore Avenue. On April 1, Tower Investments Inc. and Felder & Felder will break ground on the new project, called Avenue North.
Gov. Edward G. Rendell, Mayor John F. Street and Councilman Darrell L. Clarke are scheduled to participate.
The project will feature 70,000 square feet of retail space in a two-story building that includes a seven-screen movie theater, as well as a 1,200-bed student housing facility, which will be operated independently from the University.

With just days left in the campaign two democratic front-runners have emerged in the recall primary election-Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett and Kathleen Falk. Falk stopped in Wausau on Sunday. She told a crowd of supporters she is the best candidate to face Governor Walker. The former Dane County Executive says she is trying to make the most of the remaining days before the primary."There are still a lot of undecided voters," said Falk. "That's one reason I'm trying to be in as many places as I can. To talk to people and answer questions. People are very serious about getting this job done and we now have 29 days to do it."Her opponent, Tom Barrett met with supporters Sunday in Milwaukee. He urged voters to head to polls on his behalf."We are putting all of our energies on getting out to vote on Tuesday, and making sure people know how important Tuesday is," said Barrett.Two other candidates are also vying for the chance to unseat Governor Walker. They are Secretary of State Doug La Follette, and State Senator Kathleen Vinehout.Governor walker told reporters on Sunday he believes voters will keep in him in office. He's facing a "placeholder" candidate in Tuesday's primary.
A big name retailer has its eyes on a spot in Wausau, according to city council members.

Aboriginal Affairs Minister John Duncan resigns over inappropriate letter
Federal Aboriginal Affairs Minister John Duncan has resigned from cabinet for writing an inappropriate letter to the Tax Court of Canada.
Prime Minister Stephen Harper issued a statement Friday confirming the decision.
"I would like to thank Mr. Duncan for his many contributions as Minister and for his service to the people of Canada. Mr. Duncan will continue to serve as the member of Parliament for Vancouver Island North in the House of Commons," Mr. Harper said.
The Prime Minister said Canadian Heritage Minister James Moore will serve as the acting Minister of Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development until a new minister is named.
Mr. Duncan released a statement explaining his decision.
"In June of 2011 I wrote a character reference letter to the Tax Court of Canada on behalf of an individual to whom my constituency staff was providing casework assistance on a Canada Revenue Agency matter," he says in the statement.
"While the letter was written with honourable intentions, I realize that it was not appropriate for me, as a Minister of the Crown, to write to the Tax Court. I have therefore offered my resignation as Minister of Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development to the Prime Minister, which he has accepted," he said.
"I take full responsibility for my actions and the consequences they have brought. It has been an honour to serve in the Cabinet and I thank the Prime Minister for placing his confidence in me on this most important file. I have every confidence that the Government will reach its goal of improving the lives of Aboriginal peoples across our country."
Last month Ethics Commissioner Mary Dawson ruled Finance Minister Jim Flaherty and two parliamentary secretaries – Eve Adams and Colin Carrie – all acted improperly in writing letters to the CRTC in support of constituents who were competing for a Toronto radio licence.
The Prime Minister did not announce any disciplinary action in those cases.

Art & Fashion – Ballgowns: British Glamour Since 1950
Victoria and Albert Museum
The world's greatest museum of art and design presents Ballgowns, British Glamour Since 1950.
From the 19th May 2012 – 6th January 2013
Opening times
10.00 to 17.45 daily
10.00 to 22.00 Friday
From spring 2012 the V&A celebrates the opening of the newly renovated Fashion Galleries with an exhibition of beautiful ballgowns, red carpet evening dresses and catwalk showstoppers. Displayed over two floors, 'Ballgowns: British Glamour Since 1950′ will feature more than sixty designs for social events such as private parties, royal balls, state occasions and opening nights.
In the gallery…
From debutantes and royalty to charity balls and the red carpet, Ballgowns: British glamour since 1950 charts 60 years of stylish evening wear. The exhibition highlights the styles, silhouettes and colours that have been perennial favourites for many years.
Since the mid-20th century, the occasions for wearing formal attire have evolved from the private event to the public parade. In the 1950s the London season was still organised around established events such as the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition and Queen Charlotte's Birthday Ball.
Towards the end of the century, as these traditions became less important, events such as the charity ball provided a new arena for displaying extravagant evening wear. Today it is the red carpet and celebrity gala that showcase the gowns of glamorous women.
For the most part, ballgowns have stood apart from fashion, while occasionally reflecting current developments in the fashion world. Yet they remain objects of fascination. The luxurious fabrics, intricate work and fine finish demonstrate the skill of British designers in creating dresses that convey splendour and spectacle.
Designing for the ball
The ballgowns featured in this gallery are mostly couture pieces, handmade for a particular client. These dresses would have been shown as part of a designer's collection and then chosen by the wearer to be made up in their size and shape.
Traditionally couturiers have been happy to include alterations and adjustments to the dresses in order to incorporate the personal taste and requirements of their clients. Often a designer is asked to design a dress to work around a piece of jewellery. Designer Lindsay Evans Robertson, personal assistant to John Cavanagh, recalled being asked to match the colour of silk to a set of aquamarines 'the size of gobstoppers'.
Knowing where the client will wear the dress is essential in order to avoid two people arriving in the same garment. For the initial event this may be possible, but when the dress is worn to subsequent parties, the matter is out of the designer's hands. David Sassoon of Bellville Sassoon recalls being informed in the 1970s of four important clients invited to stay with the queen at Ascot weekend. All four arrived to dinner in versions of the same dress. Read More at the V & A

About the 1950′s
Post War reconstruction came slowly to Britain, but by the mid 1950′s the economy was recovering and primed for consumer boom. The festival of Britain in 1951 pointed to a more promising future, presenting what became known as the "Contemporary" style features of design featuring primary colours, spiky modernist and abstract patterns referencing atomic structures, all of which translated to textile prints.
In women's fashion Dior's "New look" template dominated for most of the 1950′s narrow shoulders, small waist, and either a full or straight skirt. British designers like Michael at Lachasse, Hardy Amies and Norman Hartnell produced imaginative variations on this theme. Paris contined to influence high fashion with every change in hemlines making headline news. Towards the end of the 1950′s there was a growing informality with conuriers such as Yves Sain Laurent experimenting with proportion and form with outsized shapes like the trapeze line.
Nylon swept in as the new fibre of the fifties, producing crease-resistant, moth-proof, drip-dry, easy-care clothing, and establishing a brief hold on evening wear as well as underwear and day-wear. A plethora of new- man-made fibres such as Orion, Terylene and Courtelle soon became household names
The teenager, a word imported from North America, rose to prominence in the 1950s. Teddy Boys were the first obvious manifestation of this youth culture; working class youths who developed their distinctive style by aping Savile Row's revival of Edwardian tailoring in 1950. Men wore long jackets with contrasting shawl collars and tight, narrow trousers, worn with thick crepe soled shoes and carefully greased and combed hair. Around the mid 1950′s "Rock and Roll" music arrived from the States providing teenagers a new anthem. Manufactures recognised the growing economic power of teenagers with an abundance of products, from cosmetics to record players, expressly created for the "teen" market. Teen fashion for girls were colourful and informal: full circle skirts were enhanced with layers of rustling nylon petticoats, "sloppy Joe" sweaters were worn with tight jeans.

Something just wasn't right Friday night.
Oscar Orellana, a manager at Harrisburg's Monte Carlo Pizza, made the drive from the pizza shop on South Cameron Street to the 2000 block of Briggs Street.
Orellana said he jumped out of his car, went to grab the pizzas and then realized someone was pointing a gun at him.
"I feel the gun on the right side...of my body and they ask me give them everything," Orellana said.
Orellana said two men with handguns confronted him and pushed him against the car. He said the two suspects took $60, his cell phone and two pizzas. Orellana wasn't harmed.
Harrisburg police are also investigating three other gunpoint robberies involving food delivery men over the weekend.
"It wasn't like the last time," Orellana, who has been robbed in the past, said. "The last time it was a knife at my throat and gun to my head."
Orellana, 46, said he still isn't afraid to deliver food.
He said his mother passed away over a week ago, and he believes she is now watching over him from above.
"I am pretty sure someone was protecting me and it was her," Orellana said. "Thanks, mom."
