Looking Back At Five Years of Firehouse.Com
Five years after first blazing the trail of online emergency services news and information, Firehouse.com celebrates its anniversary Christmas Day by looking back at some of the most significant events in our community and forward to further serving the...
"It's been a unique experiencing going through the dot-com bust, surviving, and managing to grow to what we have today from relatively simple beginnings to more than two dozen full time employees and countless contributors today that are needed to run the site," Iannone said.
The growth of Firehouse.com has been greatly enhanced by its sister properties within Cygnus Business Media.
"Without the support of Firehouse Magazine, and our trade shows, Firehouse Expo and Firehouse World, and the promotional vehicle they have offered, we would not be what we are today. But in the end it comes down to our users, who are probably among the most dedicated of any online," Iannone said.
"There was an outpouring of support after 9/11 when tens of thousands of firefighters across the globe came together and raised tens of millions of dollars for the families of FDNY's fallen heroes, and came together for the memorial services a year later," Iannone said, "and we were able to be the bridge to the world's firefighters for all the information and resources that were needed."
Firehouse Magazine founder Dennis Smith said the site is an extremely valuable and effective resource. "I think you've come a long way," he said. "I think it's been tremendously effective and that it's the most important new media for the fire service since Firehouse Magazine."
As the site has grown, it has strived to bring into focus on a national scale complete coverage of the most thought-provoking incidents, such as the deadly live-fire training accidents in Utica, New York and Osceola County, Florida, and the drunk driving accident in Newcastle, Wyoming that caused the death of a 16-year-old fire explorer.
Firehouse.Com's news coverage, commentaries and columns have not only reported, but have probed the issues, such as when aggressive interior firefighting should become exterior firefighting and what level of training should be required and what standards should be demanded of fire departments in areas where there is little regulation.
Such coverage has caused decision makers to review and perhaps change ordinances and laws. Scott's Law was created in Illinois after the roadside death of Chicago Fire Lt. Scott Gillen, and fire inspections were initiated all over the Northeast after the Rhode Island nightclub fire.
Firefighters come weekly to the site to check in for the latest HotShot photography, training articles in the MembersZone, hold hundreds of discussions weekly in the forums, chat live online and much more.
Other milestones have included Firehouse.Com's Emergency Fest in May 2000, coverage of the Hepatitis C first responder epidemic in Philadelphia and extensive, ongoing coverage of the federal FIRE Act grant program that began in 2001.
"With five great years under our belt we are still learning how to be a better service to our loyal readers," Hebert said. "Just like the fire service we look forward to the challenges ahead and will strive to find new ways to inform our audience for the next five years."
The widespread sharing of news and ideas has had a real effect on Firehouse.Com's readers. Phil Whitson, who runs an intense high school firefighting program in Mariposa County, California that includes real live-fire training and Firefighter 1 certification, said that after his program was covered on Firehouse.Com he received calls from around the country and has since helped start four similar programs around California. "I got calls from all over the U.S. including Alaska," he said. "We're known nationally now."
Making An Impact
It didn't take long for Firehouse.Com to become not only a leading source of information for members of the fire service, but for the leaders of the fire service, the government and the fire service organizations.
"Since its inception in 1998, Firehouse.Com has been an excellent resource for the IAFF and our affiliates and members to receive the latest news and information that affects us in the fire service," said Harold Schaitberger, General President of the International Association of Fire Fighters. "Firehouse.Com has and continues to provide accurate and timely information about all aspects of the fire service and our role as the labor organization representing the interests of the career and professional firefighters and paramedics throughout North America," he said.

Soles4Souls Returns to NYC
October 11, 2010 at 1:30 pm , by Jill Jansson
Hi ladies! We're Jill and Lauren, two editorial interns here at LHJ for the fall semester. We want to share with you the eye-opening experience of working with Soles4Souls at Safe Horizon, where we had the opportunity to help teens in need.
Silvana and Allan Clark, "Sole Ambassadors" for the Nashville-based charity Soles4Souls, have been traveling around the United States for 19 months on a mission to collect and give away shoes to those in need. As per the charity's motto, their aim is to change the world, "one pair at a time."
Last year, we here at LHJ were thrilled to partner with Silvana and Allan, as well as with longtime celebrity Soles supporter Kellie Pickler. We capped off a company-wide shoe drive by collecting more donations outside of Madison Square Garden, as Kellie's fans headed in to hear her open up for Taylor Swift during a stop on the teen sensation's Fearless tour.
When Silvana and Allan told us they'd be back in NYC last week, we were excited to meet up with them again. They were going to be doing a shoe giveaway at the Lower East Side's Safe Horizons youth division, getting much needed brand new footwear to some of the city's homeless youth. The cool, rainy weather that greeted us that day really drove home how important Soles' mission is.
Read on after the jump to find out about our latest Soles4Souls experience and how you can help as well.
After meeting up with the Clarks and Kyoko Sagara, assistant director of the Lower East Side's Safe Horizon shelter, we watched as teens filed into Safe Horizon's basement with wet, worn-out shoes. It had been raining pretty steadily that day, which really made us realize how easy it is to take for granted having shoes that are completely intact.
We then helped the youths—aged 15 to 23—choose a clean, dry pair from the assortment of sneakers that lined the room, sent out from Soles4Souls' warehouse in Tennessee. The charity regularly makes shipments like this to organizations all around the world, including to groups such as Safe Horizon, Boys' and Girls' Clubs, battered women shelters, the Association of Torture Survivors, and others. Since its start in 2004, Soles4Souls has donated more than 11.5 million shoes to date, at an average of one new pair every 7 seconds.
"Most of us look at shoes and say, 'Do I want to wear my cute pink shoes or do I want to wear my cute blue shoes today?'" Silvana noted to us. "Whereas, for some people it is, simply, 'Do I have a pair of shoes?' People come in with the holes in the bottom of their shoes, and the flaps are duct-taped together. One guy came in once and said he wore a size 13," Silvana recalled about a man she'd met at a similar shoe distribution. "He actually wore a 16, and he said, 'I didn't know shoes could feel like this.' "
Kyoko says that success for Safe Horizon is rebuilding the trust relationship between the teens and a caregiver figure. "A lot of clients that come here don't even believe that that exists," she says. Giving them shoes is an example of "hands-on care that heals their wound," she adds. One runaway teen from a broken home we met that day has been hopping freight trains for 8 years, making his way around the country. He told us that he's still "trying to be a better human being." Could these sneakers make that happen? Silvana thinks so. She knows that being able to walk down the street without your feet hurting makes a difference in these teens' self-esteem. "You walk a little straighter, a little faster," she tells us. "There's a little bit of hope, and maybe things will look up."
To read more about Silvana and Allan's travels across the country, follow their Soles4Souls RV Tour blog here. To find out ways you can donate to or volunteer for Soles4Souls, be sure to visit soles4souls.org. And for more information about Safe Horizon, please visit safehorizon.org.

@Margarete, Im communicating and talking to (writing is a form of speech) you and others here. I do not think it was wise of Mr. Hastings to use that argument to justify his position. Its divisive, short sighted and weak. Imagine going to the County and complaining that your City pays more tax than the next so you deserve a rebate, or complaining to the State that Pinellas pays more taxes than Pasco so you want a refund. Yes, we can prove that we pay more and than Pasco, should we get special consideration? Is that a rational argument? Would it have the potential to create a range war between two Counties?

Cheerio, League One
6:59pm Monday 9th May 2011 in View from the Chapel By Dan Kerins, Digital Editor
WELL that's the end of Saints in League One.
Relief is the emotion I think the resounding majority of Saints fans feel now that we have won promotion back to the second tier.
We've had some good times in this division. In fact, I'd go so far to say that I've never enjoyed a season of football as much as I did the first year in the old Division Three.
This season, despite the success, hasn't been as much fun as I think the novelty had worn off slightly and the reality of where we were sank in somewhat.
But, looking back, the march to Wembley last season was a great laugh and a fantastic occasion.
Walking around the capital, you'd swear that half of the people who live there had been replaced by singing Saints fans.
Okay, there have been some low times too – the uncertainty after Markus Liebherr's death, the chaos in the aftermath of Pardew's sacking, missing out on the play-offs last year, etc..
But overall I think most of us will look back on these two years with a degree of fondness.
However, that doesn't mean for one second we want to be back. If you had said to me when we reached the FA Cup Final in 2003 that we were five years away from the third tier, I'd have told you to sit down while I called a medic. It was unthinkable.
No club is too big to be where they are, but Saints should never have been allowed to sink so low so fast.
It was the gamble of getting promoted back to the Premier League that quite literally cost us, so I hope we approach that goal a bit more pragmatically this time.
We sure as hell don't want to be back HERE any time soon!
There are a few things that I definitely won't miss from League One.
For one, being in the first round of the FA Cup was a constant reminder of us 'not being famous any more' so I'm happy to see the back of that.
Being able to count the number of away fans on one hand is another.
It kills the atmosphere at St. Mary's if only five people bother travelling down to see their team take on Saints, so I'm looking forward to some bigger clubs coming to town again.
Another, I'm sorry to say, is the Johnstone's Paint Trophy. I loved it last year when we won it. It was brilliant.
But, similarly, when I was a kid I loved school discos and He-Man.
Those times are gone. It's time to move on and grow up.
So to League One, I say goodbye.
Goodbye to being beaten twice by Rochdale, goodbye to terraces built out of scaffolding, goodbye to having to sit through an hour of Manish, Steve and Leroy before seeing our goals on TV, goodbye to pretend rivalries and goodbye to shaking my head is disbelief that we are actually in the same league as Exeter and Yeovil (no offence, like).
Farewell and thanks for all the fish, Football League Division Three.

Good article Dan, especially the bit about stands made out of scaffolding, what a pants day out Gillingham was. I can't wait to go to games without worrying about being absolutely drenched as we're being played off the park by a team going to League 2!
It's also a good point about how we approach the Championship. I would be very happy for a mid-table finish, not far off the play-offs for that bit of excitement. If we go straight up, I think it's a good chance we'll come straight down again. Let's carefully spend money to build a stronger squad, and let's push on to be a force to be reckoned with

MGRA wrote:Good points MGRA and great article Dan. Never forget whose decisions were behind us taking the "cheap option" with managers, Stuart Gray and our Dutch friends for instance.
We sank low and fast due to many things, one of which is not often discussed. Several managers signed average players on stupid money who had no pride in the shirt. Also we had a string of managers who deep down did not care less about this club. Pardew was not in that category and Adkins certainly is not either. There is a completely different feel to this club now. But when we get back to the top tier ( and we will ) we must not forget some of our undoing and we must not return to 3 managers a season and average players being signed on daft money.... great article btw....
How glad we are to see the end of the influence of the dark lord and his cronies even though the process was painful in the extreme.
Finally, yes league 1 was a bit of fun including the early rounds of the F.A. cup and without such fun awaydays, would I ever have gone to Northampton, Gillingham, Leyton Orient, Yeovil, Bristol Rovers, MK Dons, Peterborough etc. Probably not!!
Brentford and Plymouth, 2 games in 3 days with 1 or both of my sons will live in the memory for many a year. Lets hope we can have similar times at the likes of Nottingham Forest, Derby and skatesmouth.

Days of Our Lives' John and Marlena are inching closer to their long awaited reunion. After nine long months apart, the big moment happens this March when Drake Hogestyn returns to the soap. He last aired in June 2013.
What happens in their first scene together? And exactly where does it take place?
"I'm going through the park," previews Deidre Hall (Marlena) in character. "I stop to do something in my handbag, and I hear, 'Doc.' We all get chills, because nobody else calls her that."
Hall took special care in playing the encounter, knowing how important it was.
"I thought, What would that moment be like? How would that happen?" she says. "I had to, first of all, freeze in place and, then, turn and take forever to see him again... So it's good."
The followup scenes, however, are a bit more tense.
"We had one scene where I turn on him and go after him," recounts Hall. "He tries to involve himself in something that's not really his business, and I turn on him. 'Where were you? Why weren't you here? I have so many reasons to be angry at you...'"
Where things go from there between the estranged pair remains to be seen.
"I don't know what they're doing with the couple," contends Hall. "But if, in fact, they're setting up the reintroduction of a love story, this is how you do it."

City moves to lower business taxes
- Written by Eric Mayes
- Published in State and Region
Eliminating start-up fees, lower privilege tax get bipartisan support
Two tax bills — intended to eliminate business start up fees and cut the city's business privilege tax — moved out of committee this week.
Both had council leadership's stamp of approval and the endorsement of the mayor.
"At the end of the day we were all seriously working to make sure that our businesses seriously benefit in the city of Philadelphia," said Majority Leader Marian Tasco, at a press conference late Monday afternoon, held to announce that both bill had been approved by the finance committee.
High business taxes and licensing fees have long been blamed for pushing business from the city to the suburbs.
In combination, the bills were expected to cut taxes by more than $70 million.
"The proposals in front of us today are the kinds of things we've been in favor of," said Mayor Michael Nutter, who took the unusual step of publicly endorsing the tax measures before they were presented to the full council. "We're still in challenging economic times, but we need to do something to jump start our own situation."
The first bill, sponsored by Councilman Jim Kenney, would waive the business privilege tax for new businesses that employ at least five city residents full-time in their first year, and add five full-time jobs, again for city residents, in the second year. In addition, the $50 business privilege license fee would be waived, as would all related business license fees.
The business privilege tax is 1.415 mills on gross receipts (one mill equals one tenth of one percent) and 6.45 percent on taxable net income. In addition, new businesses pay licensing fees ranging from $50 to $500 before they can open in the city. Those fees would be waived — though the licenses would still be required.
Kenney, who said that while official unemployment figures put unemployment at 11 percent, that number is probably closer to 25 percent, adding that he hoped the bill would spur job creation in the city.
"I think the problem we're facing in this country and in this city is unemployment," he said. "These two bills will hopefully break the jam. To allow people, again, to think about coming to the city and staying in the city."
A second, sponsored by council members Bill Green and Maria Quinones-Sanchez, would provide a $100,000 exemption on the gross-receipts portion of the business-privilege tax and exempt the first $100,000 in sales for the net-income portion on the first $100,000 in sales. It also included a provision called single sales factor apportionment, taxing just sales made in the city.
"Philadelphia city government… sent a clear message to the business community in the region and the nation: Philadelphia is open for business," said Green. "We want you here. We want you to create jobs here."

Kia Sportage
The latest Kia Sportage is CarBuyer's first ever Car of the Year. Our judges were unanimous in agreement that this is 2011's top performing car, as well as Best 4x4. Aimed at the Nissan Qashqai, but offers much more space for the money. The exterior is very stylish and well proportioned, while the interior offers space for five and a huge boot. The Kia Sportage sets new standards for Kia, and offers the best quality feel in the range. The Kia Sportage comes. loaded with standard kit and engines ranging between 1.6 and 2.0-litre diesel engines.
Kia Sportage SUV
- Great value for money
- Spacious interior
- Seven-year warranty
- Some cheap-feeling trim
- Lifeless steering
- Bouncy ride
The Kia Sportage is Kia's rival for the Nissan Qashqai in the SUV/hatchback crossover market. Originally sold only as a 2.0-litre turbodiesel with four-wheel drive, the Sportage has since been available with smaller diesel and petrol engines, along with front-wheel drive. The entire range has lots of equipment, stylish looks and the promise of inexpensive ownership, with Kia's seven-year warranty proving very popular. For its price, the stylish, relatively cheap Sportage is one of the best cars money can buy - that's why it was named Carbuyer's first ever Car of the Year in 2011, and Best 4x4 in 2012.

I bought some of these socks from Tarjay and have been wearing them ALL WINTER! They're soooo warm and come in lots of colors to compliment your wardrobe! Infinity scarves are another great present! You can wear them doubled up or as a single loop and they're warm when paired with a slouchy sweater or jacket.
I helped my hubby shop for some of his staff and picked up a few wintery scarves and some really blingy Betsey Johnson pens. I hope they enjoy their gifts! Lastly, I'm a giant fan of Archipelago candles and love the Bergamot Tobacco. It has a warm smell with Italian bergamot, lemongrass, patchouli, crushed nutmeg and its made of soy.

People are using these payday loans," said Cynthia Albert with the Better Business Bureau. Now the agency warns, con artists are calling people saying they owe money on a payday loan that never existed.
Wes Cook said he got a cold call on his cell phone. "It came up as unknown, and so I didn't answer it, and went back and listened to the voice mail after the fact," explained Cook. Cook saved the message and replayed it for FOX 8. Here's part of what the caller left on Cook's phone: 'this is special investigator Deborah Williams, contacting you in regards to a legal complaint that is being filed against you.'
"It said that there was some sort of legal action against me, and that I needed to have my attorney contact someone within 24 to 48 hours. There was a restraining order involved. It was pretty crazy," said Cook. He told FOX 8, the message, which sounded official, was alarming, but it wasn't until he returned the call to a Virginia number from Global Legal Group that he realized something wasn't right.
"They had an incorrect address.. an address that was 10-years-old. Email and other contact information that was just never mine in the first place, and then they said that it was a payday loan that I didn't pay back," said Cook. That's what stood out. Cook said the caller wanted him to pay-back a loan for $1,000.94, but he said he's never taken advantage of a payday loan, ever. "Of course I told them that I would have to look into it, and figure out what my next step was, and I just never called them back," said Cook.
The BBB says that's the best route, because in a threatening way, scammers can pressure you to give up confidential information that could put a dent in your bank account and even worse, steal your identity.
"Normally they tell you.. 'wire this money to us and do it today. If you don't do it today, we're gonna.. we're gonna press charges,' and so the people are just so taken off guard and they hurry up. The ones that do fall for it go ahead and do it within a moment. They start giving information out, they wire the money, and then it's too late," explained Albert. Plus, she said wiring money could make it harder for law enforcement to track down the bad guys.
If you get a call like this, the BBB wants you to contact them and the FBI. The FOX 8 Defenders and volunteers with the National Council of Jewish Women work to solve consumer concerns. Call them at 1-877-670-6397, or go to www.fox8live.com.

I visited this facility
I think they took very good care of her, considering the hospital had sent over an order for a drug that had caused her to have a very bad mental reaction to it (Lithium). It basically made her behave as if she was on some kind of hallucinogen. When we saw the Hosptial had been responsible for ordering it, they were very nice, helping me with her and getting her back there as quickly as possible. (This was before she died)

Two city water meter readers turned in phony numbers in at least two neighborhoods in recent months, the Department of Public Works acknowledged Tuesday, leading to more inaccurate billing by an agency that has been troubled by aging infrastructure and high error rates.
As the Bureau of Water and Wastewater tries to correct the mistakes, residents who were undercharged are seeing a spike in their water charges — and officials say they must pay.
The latest twist in the city's water billing problems, which have affected at least one in 10 local homeowners, did not go over well in the North Baltimore neighborhood of Homeland, where residents were already angry about the unusually high charges.
"I should not have to pay for their mistake," said Avraham Amith, an 83-year-old Homeland man whose most recent quarterly bill came to more than $600 — four and a half times his average over the last decade, he said.
"They're a mess," Amith said. "There's no question about that."
Kurt L. Kocher, a spokesman for the water bureau, blamed the fake readings on the laziness of two employees who are no longer working for the city.
Instead of actually reading the meters — which would have required that they walk through neighborhoods and lift meter covers — they simply made the numbers up, Kocher said.
"This was totally irresponsible," Kocher said. "These were people who were not doing their jobs. They hurt themselves and caused problems for the citizens."
Kocher said officials first noticed fake readings in Ednor Gardens-Lakeside. The Sun has received reports of unusually large bills from several residents in Morrell Park, and from individuals in other neighborhoods.
Kocher said the department is investigating to see if other employees submitted fake readings, and if other neighborhoods were affected. He said the workers were removed in January, but the ramifications of their actions are still being felt.
Homeland residents say the city never explained why they suddenly received sharply higher bills. When they called customer service to complain, they say, they were passed around, made to wait on hold and ultimately told that they must have a leaking pipe or running toilet.
"No one seems to know anything," neighborhood resident Katie Pinheiro said. "They transfer you from one department to another department."
Kocher acknowledged the falsified readings after a Baltimore Sun reporter asked about the unusually high bills delivered to customers in Homeland in the past two weeks. At least 25 residents there say their water charges doubled, tripled or quadrupled.
Kocher said one of the employees was fired and the other resigned. He declined to name either worker but said they had worked for the city for eight months.
Pinheiro said that "about half of Homeland" received unusually high bills for the most recent quarter. Lynn Petersons, the operations manager of the Homeland Association, said her email inbox has been flooded with messages from angry homeowners.
"When they look at their bills, they're stunned," Petersons said. "Then when they start calling the city, they're very frustrated. They're not getting any satisfaction."
Amith said his bill has fluctuated over time, but he had never received one as high as $600. When he contacted the city to complain about the bill, workers told him nothing of the phony readings.
"I was told the standard answer: 'You must have a leak,'" he said. Amith said he then spent $115 on a plumber who assured him there was no such leak.
"If they suspected something was wrong, why did they tell me to hire a plumber?" he asked.

I am a senior, and I guess the next step is college, or at least that's what I've been told. So I decided to give University of Wisconsin at Madison a try. I heard it is big, diverse and busy - kind of what I wanted after growing up in a small town where crop insurance is more important than dental insurance. So I got this application thingy and filled it out - simple questions like "What is your first name, last name, gender and address?" Wow, college is going to be easy, I thought. I can answer these questions without even looking them up.
A month later, I got a letter reading: "Dear Jessica: Congratulations and welcome! I am delighted to inform you that you have been admitted to the University of Wisconsin at Madison" and so on.
Then I came to a stub requesting that I check yes or no indicating whether I would be attending, where I will be provided "with excellent opportunities to expand [my] social and cultural horizons." That little pencil mark in the yes box cost my dad $100. Soon after, I got a package in the mail that contained information on expenses, and, holy snikes, they better be expanding my social and cultural horizons and much more for the money they want! Fee and tuition: $5,140. Books and supplies: $820. Room and board: $6,130. Miscellaneous: $1,860. Travel: $400. The look on my father's face when he saw the bill: priceless.
Hey, sometimes people are a little off on their estimates, and let's hope they aimed too high. If not, all I got out of this is that you have to be rich if you want to better the world. I mean, your dad, who is probably a doctor, can afford for you to go to school and become a doctor also - supporting the theory that the rich get richer, and the poor get, well, poorer.
I opened the brochure and the first thing it said was, "Welcome: we mapped out a budget plan" (how kind of them), and in parentheses they failed to add "we are going to squeeze every last gosh darn penny out of your pockets! Thank you and have a great stressful four years, where we will, if we have to, make sure you and your family are eating out of dumpsters!" Now I know why they ask you to check the box indicating "Yes, I will come to Madison" before you realize how much it costs. You'd be nuts to check it after! I had the option of asking for it back, but that would have been an additional charge.
I thought it was all over, but no, I was just in the eye of the hurricane. The next day, I got letters in the mail saying $100 for this and $50 for that, $250 advance housing payment, $300 to breathe the air and $50 to get a glimpse of the Lincoln statue every day. The dollar signs were just as plentiful as the periods at the end of every sentence. Wait until they realize how many people can answer those questions on that application , but get turned away because they just don't have the money. I guess going to college has come down to how rich you are versus how smart you are.

BC notes; upcoming election. How stoopid do you have to be to vote for The Libs again?
Submitted by pale on Thu, 03/07/2013 - 12:23.
These last years in BC with the "Liberals" in charge have taken a toll on many of us.
Gordo resigned after the big HST debacle, you may remember that was where he lied and said that that tax was not even under consideration, and then rammed it down our throats anyway. Add to that the many many other shameful acts that party has committed in the name of "balancing" the budget.
At ACR, it's been an ongoing meme. How can people be so uncaring about their neighbors and fellow BC'ers? They did not give a hoot about anything the Libs did until that HST was put in. The only reason they got mad is because the selling out of this province directly filtered down to their own wallets.
So. Now the Libs have been caught trying to buy ethnic votes with taxpayer money, no less.
The resignations are supposed to calm this down, two have fallen on their swords.
Will the voters in this Province finally wise up? I am not going to hold my breath.
I have no faith either; in the intelligence or the morals of many BC voters. Those people may enjoy getting slapped in the face, they have some sort of short term memory loss?
I am done with the lot of them.

"The election of America's first black president has triggered more than 200 hate-related incidents, according to the Southern Poverty Law Center – a record in modern presidential elections," writes Patrik Jonsson, Atlanta-based reporter for The Christian Science Monitor. "Moreover, the white nationalist movement, bemoaning an election that confirmed voters' comfort with a multiracial demography, expects Mr. Obama's election to be a potent recruiting tool – one that watchdog groups warn could give new impetus to a mostly defanged fringe element."
These 200 incidents are a troubling reminder that such strong divisions are still prominent in the U.S. "The political marginalization of certain Southern whites, economic distress in rural areas, and a White House occupant who symbolizes a multiethnic United States could combine to produce a backlash against what some have heralded as the dawn of a postracial America," Jonsson writes.
Not only have racist incidents been reported, but "at least two white nationalist websites – Stormfront and the Council of Conservative Citizens – report their servers have crashed because of heavy traffic" after the election, writes Jonsson. "The League of the South, a secessionist group, says Web hits jumped from 50,000 a month to 300,000 since Nov. 4, and its phones are ringing off the hook." As the country tries to unite and move forward in the face of difficult times the growing popularity of these fringe groups can only hurt those efforts. (Read more) It was reported here that most of the racist response to the election of Barack Obama had been covered by local news outlets. The Monitor's coverage indicates that may be changing.
UPDATE, Nov. 23: Howard Witt of the Houston bureau of the Chicago Tribune picks up on the SPLC data and focuses on the area around Bogalusa, La., once a Ku Klux Klan hotbed: "In the small Louisiana town of Angie, 58-year-old Judy Robinson put an Obama sign outside her home a few weeks before the Nov. 4 presidential election. The morning after Halloween, she awoke to find the words 'KKK' and 'white power' spray-painted around her yard. 'I thought all that KKK stuff was in the past,' said Robinson, who is black. 'But now I look at people and think, 'Could he be Klan?' Suddenly I'm feeling like my town is hostile territory.' Experts say modern Klan chapters remain isolated and small, with perhaps 6,000 members nationwide -- a shadow of the group's membership of 4 million in the early 1900s." (Read more)

Lovely. Just what you guys need more dumb crap about blacks and other races spewed out for the world to hear about and see. Bad enough you have an economic crisis last thing you need is this sort of stuff. I hope for your country better times will come, but the only way is to stop looking at the past and start looking to the future.

Sun editor
Leelanau County code inspector Steve Haugen entered and inspected the lodge at Sugar Loaf on Wednesday, Feb. 5, without the presence of the long-shuttered ski resort's owners, former owners or wanna-be owners. Realtor John Peppler, who lists Sugar Loaf for $8.7 million, accompanied Haugen, as did County administrator Chet Janek for part of the 3.5-hour tour.
Janek told the Glen Arbor Sun that the trio saw cosmetic damage, but no major sewage or water damage, as the public have long speculated. Haugen will complete his inspector's report, and provide it to Kate Wickstrom, whom the County still considers as Sugar Loaf's official owner, by February 28. Wickstrom says that she transferred the ownership deed to former owner (and controller of Sugar Loaf's mortgage) Remo Polselli last March, but Polselli never filed the deed with Leelanau County. As of 9 a.m this morning the deed still had not changed, according to Janek.
Janek added that condemnation of the building could be a long way off, and early indications do not indicate that the lodge needs to be bulldozed. The Sun has not yet spoken with Haugen about the inspection.
Haugen had planned to inspect Sugar Loaf this week, "with or without the owner's permission", but Janek said that Peppler's presence made the County officials' job easier. Peppler told the Sun he was there representing "the owner" but wouldn't specify who he meant by that. Liko Smith has boasted since late September that he owns the resort, but has offered no evidence to back that claim.
Smith failed to appear last Friday for a planned inspection. Had he done so, the enigmatic former Samoan boxer and convicted felon may have faced arrest. Smith has an extraditable warrant out for his arrest from El Dorado County, Calif. Leelanau County's undersheriff waited at Sugar Loaf at 1 p.m. on Friday, Jan. 31, just in case Liko Smith showed up.
Asked whether he had any reason for optimism that Sugar Loaf would sell or one day re-open to skiers, Peppler joked, "I work on commission, so I must be an optimist."
Stay tuned for more updates on Sugar Loaf.

In their first release for the Resonus Classics label, the Eroica Quartet and Friends perform the world premiere recording of the original 1825 version of Mendelssohn's Octet, Op. 20.
This album is licensed for download from Resonus Classics.
Mendelssohn wrote the Octet in 1825 when he was just 16 years old and subsequently revised the score in 1832 for publication. This recording uses the original 1825 manuscript that is currently held in the US Library of Congress in Washington D.C., and which has now been put together for publication in a new edition. Played on period instruments and with fingerings and bowings specific to the time, the legacy and influence Mendelssohn gained from his teacher Beethoven, is clear. This edition is immensely expressive and more indulgent than the revisions penned by the more mature, older man that he was seven years later.
'Altogether it's a splendid performance - a must for all who treasure this masterpiece' BBC Music Magazine, Chamber Choice of the Month
'Revelations abound in this revival of Mendelssohn's first thoughts on his Octet.' The Strad - 'The Strad Recommends'
'The Eroicas and friends also adopt 19th-century approaches to style, in terms of bowing, portamento and vibrato. The result is a performance as exhilarating musically as absorbing as it is musicologically.' Gramophone
'[...] the quality is astonishing [...] bringing all the excitement and energy of this youthful piece to life.' The Observer
'This scintillating performance gives us a fresh look at a work that has never lost its freshness.' Classical Ear
'The label's first disc is a remarkable coup ... a beautifully played account.' International Record Review
'[A] promising new label [...] The recording is warm and rounded [...] The performance by the Eroica Quartet and friends was all that I had expected.' MusicWeb International
'Playing and recording throughout are of a very high quality, with the ensemble able to move with ease from a relaxed intimacy to near orchestral authority. For those who have loved the work for years this is an essential addition.' Lark Reviews
Booklet Notes:
Felix Mendelssohn: Octet, Op.20
'He whom the gods love dies young'
Mozart, Schubert and Mendelssohn are examples par excellence of this aphorism: the God-given gift burning so brightly but eclipsed before its time. It can be argued that Mendelssohn's powers were on the wane by the time of his death at thirty-eight, whereas Mozart and Schubert were still developing when they were taken prematurely. In the earlier part of the lives of these composers, however, Mendelssohn reigned supreme. There is no work in the oeuvres of Mozart or Schubert, by the age of sixteen, to match Mendelssohn's Octet Op.20. In the entire canon of western music the Octet stands out as a unique creation. It is in this context that this recording first is so important. This substantial work by the teenage prodigy is both well and widely known - or so people may think. However, this first opportunity to hear the original version of the Octet gives valuable insight into the more extensive gestation period of the ultimate version of the work in its most commonly-known guise.
Mendelssohn's autograph manuscript of the original version is dated 15 October 1825 in Berlin. It is clearly a fair copy, beautifully written, and is currently housed in the USA's Library of Congress in Washington, D.C. The Octet was first published some years following its composition in , at which point Mendelssohn made substantial revisions, cutting out many passages and rewriting others. However, some of the most extraordinary and radical music was cut by the slightly older composer. The published version of 1832 is somewhat leaner (over 100 bars are cut overall) and in some ways appears more professional, but is it the better overall for these changes? The conclusion to that question is, of course, for the listener to decide but it seems important given its iconic status that people can finally hear this earliest version of the Octet written by this precocious sixteen-year old.
The young Felix was brought up in a comfortable environment where, in common with most Jewish middle-class families of the time, learning and the arts were of vital importance. He showed himself to be prodigiously talented, not only in music, but is also in drawing, painting and languages. Mendelssohn received an all-round high quality education in which all his talents were carefully nurtured, providing a fertile ground in which the seed of his genius was planted. His first teacher for musical composition was Carl Friedrich Zelter and it was through Zelter that he was first introduced to the eminent writer Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. Having previously met Mozart some years earlier at the age of seven, Goethe was also to meet the seven-year old Mendelssohn and remarked on the different levels of sophistication between the two young composers in a conversation with Zelter:
"Yes", answered Goethe," [...] but what your pupil already accomplishes, bears the same relation to the Mozart of that time that the cultivated talk of a grown-up person bears to the prattle of a child."
Mendelssohn's earliest extant composition dates from 1820 and, in the succeeding five years leading up to the Octet, his composing skills saw some meteoric improvements. Before he was sixteen his considerable output consisted of singspiels, thirteen symphonies for string orchestra, chamber music, songs, motets, anthems and his first symphony for full orchestra. So the Octet masterpiece was not exactly born out of the blue but was rather the crowning achievement of a most extraordinary and rapid development.
Neither was the Octet Mendelssohn's first attempt at chamber music for strings. Apart from some early 'practice' pieces his opus numbers start with three piano quartets Op.1-3 from 1822 to 1825, and in 1824 he had written a sextet for violin, two violas, cello, double bass and piano Op.111. It was though, apart from his early string quartet in E flat of 1823 (Op. posth.), his first for strings without piano.
The basic structure of the Octet is so well known it hardly needs introduction. The massive first movement with its changes from an almost orchestral texture to the most intimate chamber music is wonderfully engaging throughout, whilst the second movement introduces real pathos into what, up to that point, is a entirely optimistic work. The scherzo, which has much affinity with his score to A Midsummer Night's Dream, is the epitome of fleetness and is inspired by the 'Walpurgisnacht' episode in Goethe's Faust. The finale is a tour de force, starting as a frantic fugato in eight parts and keeping its momentum up to the very end.
The first change Mendelssohn made to his original version was in the notation of the first movement. In the original the shortest value notes were notated as quavers with a speed indication of 'Allegro molto e vivace' The revision has the shortest value notes notated as semiquavers with a speed indication of 'Allegro moderato ma con fuoco'. This has several ramifications. Firstly, of course, there is immediately half the number of bars and with further cuts of eighty-seven bars (forty three and a half in the new notation), the movement is reduced from 733 to 323 bars. One might speculate that this was done for practical purposes; certainly finding suitable places for page-turns in the new edition of the Octet proved problematic. Also, of course, the publisher would have saved a significant amount of paper in every copy of a score along with a set of eight separate parts. The original has a feeling of unity between the notation of the first and last movements where, in both, the shortest value notes are notated as quavers. This may be only psychological but it is a loss nevertheless. A further aspect is that the 'con fuoco' in the new speed indication doesn't quite convey the urgency of the original 'Allegro molto e vivace' potentially resulting in a rather different kind of interpretation. Interpreters of the revised version might well play the opening theme in quite a lyrical manner, reserving their fuoco for the loud passages, whereas the original tempo indication encourages a more urgent approach from the start.
The most radical change from Mendelssohn's original version occurs at the start of the development in the first movement. Here, the original starts by developing the material that concluded the exposition, while the revision starts by developing the first subject, cutting some thirty-eight bars (i.e. nineteen in the new notation) and supplying eleven bars of new material. The original is much more interesting in this respect as the usual course of composition would be a development of the first subject. In fact, the original never develops the first subject and the revision has another cut of sixty-one bars (thirty and a half in the new notation) of further development of the second subject group. The original rather seems to have an obsession with the second subject but Mendelssohn's later revisions balances matters out, making the whole development much more 'conventional'.
There is also a significant change to be found in the second movement, which alters the whole balance of the structure. In both versions the overall sense is of a sonata form movement, although there is not any development as such. There is, however, a recognizable second subject in the relative major, which is recapitulated in the tonic minor. What is so extraordinary in the revision is that the first subject is omitted in the recapitulation. There is a cut of twenty-two bars and three newly written to take the music straight into recapitulation of the second subject. Here Mendelssohn appears to be renewing his predilection for the second subject, which he had expunged from the first movement. It is certainly a radical move and produces quite an unusual result. However, the greater balance of the original and the fact that the first subject is so deeply moving means that it is definitely worth hearing for a second time in the recapitulation providing, as a whole, a more satisfying and affecting movement.
The third movement of the original, 'Scherzo', is virtually identical with the revision apart from a number of different phrase markings and some altered notes towards the end of the movement in the first cello part. Overall, in the original, the phrasing is much longer over many bars, whereas the slurs in the revision are appreciably shorter, appearing to refer more to particular bowings for the players. The fourth movement, originally marked 'Molto allegro e vivace' is changed to 'Presto' in the revised version. It is thirty-seven bars shorter in the revision but, as a result, there is no major structural consequence as found in the first two movements.

---- — Winamac soccer team ties with Lakeland
PLYMOUTH — Winamac's boys soccer team recorded its second tie at the Blueberry Tournament on Monday.
The Warriors tied Lakeland Christian Academy 3-3 and are 1-3-2 on the season.
Winamac fell behind 1-0 about midway through the first half but stormed back behind two goals from freshman Tyler Hintz to lead 2-1 at halftime.
Lakeland briefly tied it at 2 early in the second before Hintz completed the hat trick for a 3-2 lead that the Warriors held until Lakeland got a PK with about eight minutes remaining. A couple late close calls by both teams came up short and the game ended 3-3.
"We got caught napping on their first goal. It was the same thing they ran all game off of their punts, and we didn't react the way we needed to," Winamac coach Mark Eber said. "After that, Tyler really stepped up and we got some really good looks up front. I'm very proud of the kids. We really rode a core group of players through these last couple of games and they responded."

Bears get TE Rosario from Cowboys
CHICAGO (AP) — The Chicago Bears have acquired tight end Dante Rosario from the Dallas Cowboys for a seventh-round pick in next year's draft.
Dallas picked up Rosario during the offseason, and he was among five tight ends on the team's original 53-man roster.
Rosario is entering his seventh season and could be playing for his fourth team since the start of 2011. He has 99 catches for 1,106 yards and eight touchdowns in 91 career games. The 28-year-old, a former fifth-round pick by Carolina, has started 26 times.
To make room for Rosario, the Bears waived tight end Kyle Adams on Monday.
Raiders mum on starting quarterback situation
ALAMEDA, Calif. (AP) — The Oakland Raiders are gradually solidifying their starting lineup for the season opener. They aren't quite ready to announce their starting quarterback.
Coach Dennis Allen said Monday that he will not disclose whether Terrelle Pryor or Matt Flynn will start the season opener at Indianapolis until game time for "competitive" reasons.
Allen has said the starter will be the quarterback who is best able to move the team and score points. In the preseason, that clearly was Pryor.
