Day of reckoning for Chester Upland education
- Written by Damon C. Williams
- Published in News Headlines
The Chester Upland School District – one of the poorest in the state and already suffering from previous painful fiscal cuts – does not have enough money to pay its teachers, and its last hope is that the commonwealth will release emergency funds next week, which would allow the district to pay its staff and keep school doors open.
However, judging from previous statements from Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Corbett's office – including accusations of gross financial negligence by the school district's board of directors – it seems unlikely the district will receive the money.
Last December, state Education Secretary Ron Tomalis denied an initial request for emergency funds, citing mismanagement examples such as the rehiring of furloughed staff, which cost the district roughly $6.45 million.
But in the end, it's the students who will suffer, as these cuts call for the merging of two schools, laying off more than 100 staff and reducing the district budget by $18 million.
In fact, times are so hard at the school district that Danyel Jennings, a mother of two students currently enrolled there, started an online campaign at Change.org, petitioning for signatures to convince Corbett to release funds to the cash-strapped district.
"Our kids and their futures are in jeopardy," Jennings said through a statement released by Change.org, the grassroots-based community website that takes up causes and issues for those wishing to begin an earnest and effective protest. "They deserve to have teachers who actually get paychecks for their work, and a school district that will be reliably open for the full school year.
"We have to get our schools on the right track, so kids like mine don't have to suffer for the mistakes of the school district." Jennings and other parents recently held a candlelight vigil outside the school district offices.
Tim Eller, spokesman for the Pennsylvania Department of Education, sees the situation much differently, and believes the state did as much as possible for the struggling district.
"This mishandling of money is systemic and has been going on for years. In the spring of 2011, during the 2010-2011 school year, the district was facing near-bankruptcy, couldn't meet payroll or pay bond holders…but the department did step in, did provide money and appropriations − $9.5 million above and beyond − to help get them through the problems they were facing," Eller said. "During that same year, they asked for an advance on the next budget, and the department again stepped in and assisted, and also provided advice to help them.
"Nearly all the suggestions were totally ignored."
Eller says the Chester Upland School District has a history of management miscues, including delaying $27 million in invoices and fees from the previous school year to the current one; mounting unpaid invoices and its refusal to pay in to unemployment compensation, special education programs or charter schools. Then there's the rehiring of staff without the budget to pay them.
"The hiring back, without the ability to pay them, is very concerning," Eller said, adding that this was just one of many examples of hubris on the part of the school district. "Every school district or business budgets for unemployment costs. That was $2.2 million that the district did not budget for. It's a systemic fiscal management problem, an organizational problem that has progressed in that school district. That $18 million would only be a Band-Aid on the issues [the school district] claims. The problem is, we will be back in this same position in a couple of months."
The Chester Upland School District joins a growing list of both public and parochial school districts facing similar cuts and funding decreases.
The Philadelphia School District announced that it will soon close as many as nine schools, and the Philadelphia Archdiocese also announced that it was shuttering as many as 48.
The Philadelphia School District has seen its student ranks decrease exponentially over the past decade, and now only has about 150,000 students enrolled throughout the system – not including the estimated 70,000 unoccupied seats. That has led to the district accumulating a number of vacant and obsolete school buildings. The Philadelphia Archdiocese is facing similar decreases in enrollment throughout its system as well.
Corbett's stance on the matter only further infuriates parents like Jennings.
"During his election campaign, Governor Corbett promised that every child, regardless of their zip code or economic status, should have access to the best education possible," Jennings said. "Chester Upland needs rescuing right now, and if the governor can't find money to deal with this emergency, he's failing voters and our state's children."
Jennings also said that this action will be "catastrophic" for seniors who either didn't get their diplomas before winter break or those who won't be able to transfer to a neighboring school district, a move that Jennings says is almost impossible.
"Actually, if worse came to worse and the school district shuts down, I personally would just home school," she said. "Going into another school district would be hard, because they are allowed to turn our children away because we don't live there. For the seniors to lose all their hard work, it would be especially devastating.
"The governor is basically telling our children that they weren't worth doing every single, solitary thing that has to be done to make sure our students receive a proper education."
For the state's part, Eller said he is sympathetic to the plight of parents and students, and understands their dismay.
"The department recognizes the concerns of parents and the community at large and the disruption that this may potentially cause them," Eller said. "That's why the district continues to work on contingency programs, and there are ongoing talks to come up with ways to best implement them."

Two images. One is shocking no matter how many times you see it: a CHP officer repeatedly punching a woman as she lays by the side of the Freeway. The officer claims the woman became ''combative'' when he tried to prevent her from walking into traffic on the 10. That was July 1st. Today, the other image is the CHP's Commissioner, Joe Farrow, warmly shaking hands with community activist Earl Ofari Hutchison, leader of what he calls the ''Urban Policy Roundtable". Farrow, Hutchison, and a number of prominent leaders in the Southern California and national civil rights movement met privately with the CHP brass at the Highway Patrol's Culver City office to discuss the cell phone video and the behavior it depicted.
No answers, no conclusions, but the fact that Farrow agreed to meet with them, rather quickly, was significant and showed an awareness on his part of how serious this incident is. In fact, he called it ''shocking'', the most outrageous thing he's seen in his career. The CHP said its investigation will be done in ''weeks, not months'', which seemed to placate those at the meeting, at least for now. In response to allegations the CHP shouldn't investigate itself, Farrow said the Los Angeles County District Attorney is putting people on the case; he's spoken to the LAPD about helping, as well as the U.S. Attorney's office. Farrow seems to be doing and saying the right things for now, but a lot of those in the meeting have been down this road with law enforcement before, and they'll be there to hold the CHP's feet to the fire, so to speak.
Meantime, the woman, identified as Marlene Pinnock, a homeless mother of two, with mental health issues is still in the hospital. One of her adult children told me today she's overwhelmed by what's happened, saying ''I can't believe a CHP officer who's supposed to help people, beat her like, I can't even say like a dog because if he beat a dog like that he'd be in jail.'' The CHP won't release the officer's name, citing legal privacy laws commonly called the ''Peace Officers Bill of Rights'' which protect privacy during a disciplinary investigation. He does get his full salary though, at his now new so called ''desk job''.

PhD in Classical Studies
435 S State St, Ann Arbor, MI 48109-1003
Nick received his B.A. from the University of Chicago in 2010. His research is primarily focused upon the idea of monumentality in Roman literature and its reception in Renaissance Italy and beyond. Nick's dissertation explores in particular the different ways that Horace, Vergil, and Ovid both reflect and help fashion how their contemporaries read Rome's metamorphosis into a city of marble monuments under Augustus.
When not contemplating the dialogue between architecture and texts in Rome, Nick enjoys going for runs at dawn in the snow, rock-climbing in shoes much too small for his feet, and a good cup of warm (caffeine-free) tea no matter what the season.

Rahi Sarnobat shot 579 and finished 19th in women's sport pistol at the Royal Artillery Barracks on Wednesday.
It was not the main event for the other Indian shooter in the fray, Annu Raj Singh, and it came as no surprise when she shot 575 to take the 30th spot.
The 21-year-old Rahi missed the final by four points following a 291 in the precision series and a 288 in the rapid fire stage.
Kim Jang-mi triumphs
The event was won by South Korea's Kim Jang-mi, upsetting defending champion Chen Ying of China. Kim finished with a total of 792.4 points, just one ahead of Chen, and Ukraine's Olena Kostevych third on 788.6.
The youngest member of the Indian shooting squad, Rahi won a bronze medal in the World Cup with a spectacular effort in the final. She had shot a 582 then.
She fared brilliantly in the Commonwealth Games in New Delhi when she took the team to the gold and clinched the individual silver behind compatriot Anisa Sayyed.
After Gagan Narang's bronze in the 10m men's air rifle event here, it will be the turn of Asian Games gold medallist Ronjan Sodhi to shoulder the hopes of the Indian contingent in double trap on Thursday.

So I throw my speculative hat into the ring. Brain Rafalski retires due to excessive injuries? Yup, it's spreading like wild fire and already driving dialogue in oppose team fan blogs. Most notably from those within the Central Division. Some are becoming bold enough to suggest this signals the end of the Detroit Red Wings dominance within the Central Division. More pragmatic heads quickly dismiss such fantasies as this turn of events may leave Detroit in an even stronger position.
Of course this news along with the question of Nicklas Lidstrom really does throw everyone for a loop on cap space and possible replacements. Should both Lidstrom (God forbid) and Rafalski retire that means over $12 million dollars for Ken Holland to play with to secure as many as 3 quality defensemen and still maybe have money left over to secure other players such as Patrick Eaves and Drew Miller. Certain GMs around the NHL are now going to be looking over their free agency wish lists and may even have to redouble their efforts to secure their rosters from Red Wing predation. Slow march to July 1st, HA!
One. I'd like to see another large bodied, skilled defenseman added to the Red Wing blue line. Ericsson is not developing fast enough for any Wing fan.
Two. Someone closer to or even under the age of 30 so we can sign them to the long term.
Three. I am willing to give up some draft picks to land a RFA because then we can concentrate on developing our current crop of hopefuls in the minors while having possibly landing a monster on our blue line that can hit, score, and back check like a MF'er. Perhaps Ken Holland will land some more late round draft miracles to compensate for our lack of 1st and 2nd rounders in the years to come. Yeah there's going to be a real debate on whether this is a good idea but we are not going to make everyone 100% happy with an UFA or RFA selection. So let's roll.
While I would love for the Wings to snatch up Weber. It would be just as advantageous to just toy with the Predators so they pay too much to keep him. Though the idea of Weber on the same line as Lidstrom on our PP1 line has visions of sugar plums and Stanley Cups dancing through my head.
I wouldn't mind the Red Wings picking up Luke Shenn from Toronto for a young hard hitting stay at home defensemen they're not about to let him go so easily. Wishful thinking on my part. This replacement choice doesn't address the loss in points by Rafalski. Though that loss would be made up in the fewer amount of defensive lapses that gave me several thousand heart attacks throughout the season. Detroit's defensive game was lacking this year.
Drew Doughty would be the better offensive choice of the elite and youthful RFAs. He would be Rafalski 2.0 on the blue line contributing points at even strength and on the PP with good puck handling. But like Luke Shenn with Toronto, LA is not going to give Doughty up without a fight and should be more than willing to pay to keep him. Especially since LA is looking to displace San Jose in the coming years to pull in front of the Pacific Division.
My dark horse pick will be Zach Bogosian from the Atlanta Thrashers (Winnipeg Jets, maybe, who knows). This kid's numbers show frustration. He plays in the same division as the offensive blitzkrieg Washington Capitals and the up and coming TB Lightning at the age of 20. He's got a heavy shot, skates well, and can play aggressively in his own end. However, he is going to be too expensive of a risk to take on for his age and experience. Detroit would have had him play a couple years in Grand Rapids instead of throwing him to the wolves. He has shown the same inconsistencies like a certain Red Wing we all know. And he's a RFA to boot. Perhaps Detroit could look to pick him up in the future as one of those players that are looking for a second chance in the NHL.
Well that's my little take on Rafalski's possible replacements. There's plenty of time for reflection and day dreaming until July 1st. Never know this is all just one of those silly rumors to get us all riled up.

By popular demand or one comment from Matt Bodie, whichever is lesser!
Matt asks, apropos of the Manic Expressive post, whether I'm using a new book (I referred to doing a new prep). The answer is "yes, but..." I taught the first semester of the six-credit Contract offering at Wake Forest in the fall 2005, and Contracts II, the Sales portion of the first year curriculum at Tulane, in the spring 2007 (for common law students; I think the civil law students there take something called Obligations). I used Knapp, Crystal, & Prince for Contracts and Keating for Sales. The administration at Suffolk waited for three years before siccing me on the 1Ls (I have been teaching Unincorporated Business Entities and Securities Regulation), but the pressing need this year was for Contracts. I'm using Hogg, Bishop, & Barnhizer for a number of reasons (Knapp, et al. is excellent and there is no shortage of fine contract law casebooks), not the least of which is that my colleague, friend, and suitemate, Carter Bishop, is right there for me when I want to brainstorm about something.
It's been interesting to return to teaching contracts since I've written five pieces since teaching at Wake on contract theory, and another three dipping into metaphor theory (as an means of getting at what I think of as the mystery of forward-looking judgment). It's been almost impossible to teach the doctrine without organizing it in terms of my theoretical take, and I'm finding my theoretical take informed in almost every session of class preparation. So I'm working in parallel tracks. I'm developing the classroom materials and teaching from them on one hand, and working the article in which I'm developing the theory behind what I'm doing, on the other.
Here's the opening paragraph of the extremely nascent article:
There is probably no better example of the gap between academic law and the practice than the very archetype of the law school experience: the first-year indoctrination in the law of contracts. Although the casebooks vary in their approaches, by early December, the typical student has been bamboozled by elements of doctrine that experienced practitioners know almost never come up over the course of a long career either as a transactional lawyer or as a commercial litigator. The unreality of the first-year contract law enterprise engenders questions like these: why do clients and their lawyers spend so much time negotiating contracts that will never be litigated? Why do so many contracts contain phrases that are no more than agreements to agree? Why do so many contracts resort to weasel words and phrases that are no more than a means by which a present inchoate dispute might be punted into the future? Why do we study consideration and offer-and-acceptance when those are rarely issues in the real world? Indeed, it is a fair observation that only a tiny portion of the first-year contracts course involves the issue of contract interpretation, and practitioners know that the real world of contracts is almost exclusively about interpretation, and almost never about the vast majority of doctrinal issues – consideration, offer and acceptance, defenses, impossibility – studied in the course.
For an equally nascent take (and for a blog post far too long!) on how I'm approaching those questions, join me below the fold. Comments are certainly welcome!

Data & Analysis | News
The Michael and Susan Dell Foundation has launched the Ed-Fi Alliance, a new non-profit organization designed to help educators make use of data.
At the center of the organization is the free Ed-Fi solution. Launched in 2011 and currently licensed in 10 states, the Ed-Fi solution is designed to improve "student achievement by extracting student information from a variety of sources, and integrating the data into Web-based dashboards, reports and other applications that are, with the right permissions, accessible to educators and other parties on demand," according to information released by the Michael and Susan Dell Foundation.
Developed in cooperation with teachers, vendors, school leaders, and local and state education agency representatives, the solution comprises a unifying data model, a data exchange and application framework, and sample dashboard source code.
In addition to enabling data-driven decisions to improve student achievement, the system is also designed to allow "school and district administrators and state and federal agencies to supplement or replace tools used for broader state or federal accountability reporting purposes," according to information released by the organization.
"Since the launch of the Ed-Fi initiative in July 2011, we have seen increasing demand from states and school districts because they see real time and cost savings advantages created by deploying the Ed-Fi solution within existing IT environments," saidJanet Mountain , executive director of the Michael & Susan Dell Foundation. "Currently, 36 percent of K-12 students and 39 percent of teachers are poised to benefit from Ed-Fi-enabled solutions, which are free under license. We expect the Ed-Fi solution to help even greater numbers of students in the next two years. The resources and focus required to support this exponential growth merited a stand-alone organization to ensure that these high-quality solutions can quickly get into the hands of teachers and administrators."
More information about the Ed-Fi Alliance is available at ed-fi.org.

$500 raised
so far
We raise money to provide college scholarships to severely injured or ill high school student-athletes to achieve their academic goals.
As an accomplished and experienced pole vaulter, Kevin James Dare loved to soar like an eagle. On February 23rd, 2002, Kevin, a sophomore at the Pennsylvania State University, was competing at the Big Ten Men's Indoor Track and Field Championships. Just before he went to make his first vault of the day, Kevin turned to his father, Ed, and said, "This is my day, Dad." They were the last words that Kevin spoke before sprinting down the runway, planting his pole, and launching himself high into the sky.
Kevin died after hitting his head on the metal planting box where he had planted his pole for the jump.
After years of trying to further improve the safety mandates of the sport, prompting development and urging use of the world's first approved pole vault –specific helmet, the world's first SoftBox and trying to create awareness of the dangers and stricter safety standards needed for the sport, the Foundation realized that the true legacy of Kevin Dare could be found within how he lived his life, not just from the cause of the end of it.
With the ten year anniversary of Kevin's passing, the Foundation is focusing its mission and fundraising efforts to help high school student athletes with debilitating injuries/illness, through financial scholarships, achieve their academic goals – the true legacy of Kevin Dare – a legacy of integrity, inspiration, and indomitable spirit – to help others to get life…back on track.

Now that he has his brother's war medals back, Greg Smith says he's going to start working on a new shadowbox with a nameplate showing the names of the officers who helped find them.
On January 9, police say Sean David Smith stole a war memorial Greg Smith had made for his brother.
Sean Smith tried to pawn some of what he stole around Kalispell and Evergreen.
He ended up dumping much of it.
Officers got out metal detectors and searched high and low for the medals.
A Texas man, whose company made the purple heart that was stolen, offered to fix the medals for free.
Tuesday morning, police took the medals out of evidence and gave them back to Greg Smith, with some replacements.
"I couldn't have expected anymore from the officers at all. They went way above and beyond and it's been really nice," said Greg Smith. Greg Smith also mentioned that the alleged thief wrote him a letter of apology.
The original uniform was never found.
Sean Smith is still being held in the Flathead County Detention Center.

Convince Me, Right Now on PC Gaming.
Seriously, I want you convince me on it. All the pros, all the cons, I want to here it.
I've been gone for a while (thank you work) and I have a influx of cash on hand. Right now I have the ability to purchase a new machine. I'm a huge Mac user (work) and was more than likely going to update myself to the new MacBook Pros with Retina display. I've since decided to hold off because my current model is still fine for the things I need it to do and I now have a iPad to take care of my on the job duties.
So I came to the decision that I could
A) Buy another MacBook - Which is where I'm leaning
B) Buy a beefed up iMac for stationary purposes
C) Take the plunge and get a gaming rig
The reason I'm asking is because, one I'm not a wiz when it comes to computers. Also I've been a Mac user for the last 7 years and going back to windows will be sort of like learning the systems again. Not a huge deal, but still. There is also the issue with components, drivers, specs, and so forth.. which to be honest I don't know jack about.
I have been debating trying PC gaming out for a while now, mostly because I hear so much about how awesome it is, and it's the best. Which is still debated on. But for the faithful I want you to convince me why should I spend my money on it. Sell me on it. If this was a retail space and you got a commission off the sale do it.
Some of the advantages people talk about don't really seem like and advantage to me.
Mind you I have a open mind and will consider what you say. And might ask you many questions, because this is like buying a car for me.
So help a brotha out, also I have $3500 to blow, so I guess my first question would be to build me a PC or what would you build? Also what is the real difference between buying one pre-built against building it yourself (note I wouldn't build my own myself, I would have a friend do the labor)? This would also be strictly a gaming machine, I wouldn't use it for work or anything. I do all my work on Macs

The Modern maintains one of the foremost collections of modern and contemporary international art in the central United States. Various movements, themes, and styles are represented, On view now on the first floor, important examples of Abstract Expressionism, Color Field painting, Pop art, and Minimalism as well as new acquistions by Sol LeWitt and Jenny Holzer.
México Inside Out: Themes in Art Since 1990 is one of the largest and most ambitious exhibitions in over a decade to examine contemporary art of central Mexico and Mexico City from the 1990s to the present day. Organized by curator Andrea Karnes, the exhibition is the first of its kind to be presented in North Texas.
Terry Haggerty draws on the vocabulary of abstract art to create his illusory paintings and large-scale wall works. The artist's central motif is created by painting patterned lines that alternate a light and dark color, such as white and blue. When juxtaposed, these colors play off of each other, appearing to advance and recede (as seen in Kinetic Friction, 2009).
Gustavo Artigas, artist featured in México Inside Out: Themes in Art Since 1990
This lecture has been moved to 5:30 pm, to allow our guests to attend the Kimbell's Renzo Piano lecture at 7 pm. Tickets for the Gustavo Artigas Tuesday Evenings lecture will be available at the front desk beginning at 3:30 pm.

Green Day - vocalist/guitarist Billie Joe Armstrong, bassist Mike Dirnt, and drummer Tré Cool - were kids from working-class backgrounds who came of age in the underground punk scene in Berkeley. But it was their landmark 2004 album "American Idiot" that launched Green Day into the stratosphere. American Idiot debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard chart, spawned five hit singles, earned seven GRAMMY nominations (winning two, including Best Rock Album), and raised the bar for modern rock and roll.
In 2009, Green Day released 21st Century Breakdown, which won a 2010 GRAMMY Award for Best Rock Album. It spawned two hit singles: the gold "Know Your Enemy," which was the first song ever to top Billboard's Rock, Alternative, and Mainstream Rock charts simultaneously, and the double-platinum "21 Guns," which earned them three 2009 MTV Video Music Awards including Best Rock Video. Green Day also took home an American Music Award for Favorite Alternative Rock Music Artist.

Brave New World Rep to Present R.N. Healey's NUN$, 3/6-15
Brooklyn's acclaimed Brave New World Repertory Theatre presents R.N. Healey's NUN$, presented over two weekends (March 6th-9th and March 11th-15th), marking the first time Brave New World (BNW) takes work to Williamsburg, Brooklyn.
An isolated convent in the woods of Vermont houses women of dubious faith. Their lives are a constant ritual of work, prayer and heavy drinking. A shiny car on the American highway houses air conditioning salesman Thomas "Tom" Bryant. His life is a constant ritual of hustling and love for American food products. An unexpected auto accident forces these seemingly disparate universes together with explosive results.
Featuring Hannah Heller, Miranda Huba and Catherine Mancuso, Healey's work explores the price of an idyllic life at a rural convent and the extreme measures some must take to maintain a self-imposed standard of normalcy. Taking place in 1960's Vermont, NUN$ provides a lens through which to view contemporary issues. Strictures offer freedom and restraint simultaneously and vices abound to combat loneliness. The introduction of a foreign presence forces the residents to confront their individual pasts and their present desires.
Says artistic director Shannon Sindelar: "I was interested in working with R.N. because I believe her to be one of the exciting new comedic voices in playwriting. This extremely dark comedy affords us the opportunity to work with an almost entirely female cast composed of some of our favorite actors. Additionally, I felt this work would appeal to a slightly younger audience and that premiering it in Williamsburg would be welcome territory." This is the first time Brave New World will fully produce a New York premiere of a Brooklyn writer, marking what the company plans to be regular practice in the future.
R.N. Healey (Playwright) has had her work performed/work-shopped/developed in Dublin, New York, Minneapolis, Washington D.C. and Pittsburgh. Recent productions include Sergio Bolero (Meat and Bone Theatre Co. (Brooklyn, NY) and Blintz and the Ketchup People (Bricolage, Pittsburgh, PA). She is the recipient of 2nd place for the Mark Twain Prize for comedic playwriting (2012) as well as the Mary Marlin Fisher Playwriting award (2012). In July of 2012 she served as a playwright fellow at the Eugene O'Neill Center's National Playwright's Conference. She has been an artist in residence at the Woodstock Byrdcliffe Guild in Woodstock New York and currently is the writer in residence at Harbor Gallery (Brooklyn). MFA Carnegie Mellon University, 2012.
Shannon Sindelar (Director) is the producing artistic director of Brave New World Rep. Directing credits include the New York premiere of Tennessee Williams' The Remarkable Rooming House of Mme. LeMonde (Target Margin), Sara Farrinton's Requiem for Black Marie (Incubator Arts Project), Miranda Huba's Candy Tastes Nice (HERE; Madame X) and Jason Grote's A Christmas Carol (The Brick). Shannon was the co-Artistic Director of the cross media performance group 31 Down, and for five years directed the company's productions, including Here at Home, Red Over Red, The Assember Dilator, I Used to be Curious [Loud] and Universal Robots.
About Brave New World Repertory Theatre: Over the past ten years in Brooklyn, Brave New World Rep has carved out a site-specific niche presenting reenvisioned classics and works by Brooklyn playwrights. Recent work includes free performances of Elmer Rice's Street Scene, in which the company closed off a street in Park Slope and used a tenement building and the adjacent street as the stage, and Orson Welles' Moby Dick-Rehearsed, presented on a barge in Red Hook. This year the company kicked off NEW WORKS, a new play initiative designed to deepen its relationship with Brooklyn writers (including this year Kristoffer Diaz, Erin Courtney, Gary Winter and Mark Sitko).
The company earned its reputation of delivering unexpectedly immersive works to communities all around Brooklyn with its 2005 production of To Kill a Mockingbird, presented on the front porches and sidewalks of a tree-lined Ditmas Park street. Other work includes On The Waterfront on a Brooklyn barge that toured the waterfronts of New York Bay, The Tempest on the beach and boardwalk in Coney Island, and The Crucible by lantern light for 2 weeks at The Old Stone House in Park Slope. Based in Brooklyn, Brave New World Repertory has been a featured favorite of Celebrate Brooklyn at the Prospect Park band shell, presenting acclaimed productions of Fahrenheit 451, The Great White Hope and Crossing Brooklyn Ferry, based on Walt Whitman's Leaves of Grass.

Breathable, lightweight beanie that fits well under…
Source: bought it new
Price Paid: $25
Breathable, lightweight beanie that fits well under the hood of an over jacket or soft shell.
- Made of wool so works well when wet
- Lightweight, so easy to carry along in a pocket or pack
- Material/wool content varies to keep your ears warm while letting the top portion breath
- Ergonomic design fit lower around the ear section
- Not for really cold weather
Another one of my lightweight purchases in preparation for higher altitude hikes this summer. I've worn this beanie several times under my Marmot Vapor Hoodie and during wet, snow/rain walks it has performed quite well when under the hood.
When I've worn it by itself in upper 20s it's not the warmest but that's not what it's designed for. This is a training beanie, which actually lets some of the heat/moisture escape while exercising yet keeping your ears and head warm enough.
I was looking for something that will pack light in my backpack for higher altitude day hikes this summer. It wads into a ball about the size of a cue ball and weighs very little. Based on its performance earlier this spring in the conditions I mentioned above, it should work well for those periodic situations where the weather turns bad and/or the temps drop while above tree line.
Sharp looking beanie, John! When you say "high altitude," how high are you going?

By Jim Wallace - bio | email ALBANY, GA (WALB) –Turns out that meth lab busted in East Albany yesterday was a highly organized operation.
These are the items taken from Michael and Noleen Anthony's home on Duitman Road. There were 32 and a half grams of high quality crystal meth, along with marijuana, cocaine and possible heroin.
Officers also found more than $1200 dollars in cash, guns, chemicals and ingredients for making meth. That includes more than 900 cold tablets, ground up for making meth. Agents also confiscated several fake driver's licenses and a computer to make them, to help beat Georgia law requiring people sign for cold medications.
ADDU Commander Major Bill Berry said "My first thought is that they are trying to beat the system by using 3 or 4 different licenses. So that it doesn't appear that one person is buying, what I said 968 grams. That's a lot of cold pills. That's a whole lot of cold pills. "
The Anthonys are in the Dougherty County jail without bond, while ADDU investigators continue tracing the drugs.

"George Jones' life is an example of so many wonderful things. How someone's God-given gifts can make this a richer, better place. How one human being can overcome adversity, addiction, and life threatening obstacles time and time again. That it is not the stumble or fall that counts, but the willingness to stand again. How a keen sense of humor and a twinkle in a person's eye can still prevail even after all of life's hard knocks. How mistakes, missteps, and bad choices are not the end of the world if a person chooses to turn them into something good. And George's life is above all the strongest example of how the love of a great woman can get a man through anything. All of this made its way beautifully into every note of the greatest voice country music will ever know. And one of the greatest friends you could ever have. We miss you already, George." Country artist Brad Paisley"He was the greatest country vocalist that ever lived! Through the years we have all tried to emulate the passion in his voice, but no one can fill his shoes." Gary LeVox of Rascal Flatts"I am deeply saddened to hear about the passing of one of my all time heroes, George Jones. Georges' music was real and he was able to touch thousands through his songs. Not only was he a great singer, but he also had the ability to make you relate to every one of his songs, no matter who you are. He and his music will remain timeless in the world of country music. My thoughts and prayers are with his family through this difficult time." Country artist Easton Corbin
"It's a sad day for country music and a great loss for those of us who knew him. I was blessed to call George my friend. He was one of the best country singers there ever was. My thoughts and prayers are with his wife, Nancy, and all of his family. It's a sad, sad day." Country artist Loretta Lynn
"He had a voice that was the truth, raw and unfiltered. You cant get any realer, any more tortured or any more alive. No one can do what George Jones does, and that's why 50 years later, he still stands out as one of the greatest singers in any genre of all time. We were great friends, but it was really more like a father/son relationship. He even showed up in Lexington, Kentucky two years ago to surprise me onstage for my birthday... all the way from Nashville, to surprise me and sing 'He Stopped Loving Her Today' with me, which will be one of the greatest memories of my life. When I was just staring out, and I was picked to open the George Jones/Tammy Wynette Reunion Tour, I thought I'd made it... Then one night, George asked me if I was heading home because he and Nancy had a plane, and they'd take me," Chesney recalls. "I remember sitting there on that jet, thinking, 'This can't be happening...' because he was George Jones, and I was some kid from nowhere...' I'm sure he knew, but he was generous to kids chasing the dream, and I never forgot it." Country artist Kenny Chesney
"We've lost a true country music legend. Crissy and I send our thoughts and prayers to his family and to fans around the world who will miss his distinctive voice." Governor Bill Haslam
"Well, heaven better get ready for some great country music. While George was known for his wild and crazy days, I've known him for 25 years as a friend. He had grown into a real good man. Of course, he will always be the greatest singer and interpreter of real country music – there'll never be another. Like the song says, 'You know this old world is full of singers, but just a few are chosen to tear your heart out when they sing. Imagine life without them…Who's gonna fill their shoes.'" Country artist Alan Jackson
"RIP in George Jones THANK YOU for everything!!" Country artist George Strait"RIP George Jones. Thank you for everything you've given us." Musician Uncle Kracker
"I can't believe we've lost George Jones. One of the best singers ever, period. Country music will miss you forever... God bless his family." Jay DeMarcus of Rascal Flatts
"Sad day in Country music. We've lost another piece of history. @gjpossum was not only a good singer, but a good friend. He will be missed!" country artist Hank Williams Jr.
"My heartfelt prayers go out the family, friends and fans of George Jones." Musician Bret Michaels
"Country music lost a great one today! @gjpossum will be missed..." Country artist Lee Brice
"My heart goes out to Nancy and the family. I'm gonna miss him." Country artist Mark Chesnutt
"Very sad farewell to George Jones. Deepest sympathies to Nancy and the family." Country artist Clint Black
"Blessed 2 have worked with heroes like Conway, Cash & @gjpossum. Their star burns so bright. When it goes out, there's a void in our hearts." Musician Lee Greenwood
"THE Country Music singer of all time. The words 'Who's Gonna Fill Their Shoes' has never been more true than today." Country artist Ricky Skaggs
"Such a sad say today. We lost one of the greatest country singers to ever live. Rest in peace George." Country duo Thompson Square
"We're very saddened to hear of the death of our amazing friend George Jones." Country group Alabama
"Nothing to say except George Jones will be missed. He was an incredible soul, inspiration, friend. Greatest singer of all time." Country artist Shooter Jennings
"There will never be another George Jones. You are and always will be country music. Rest in peace." Country group Little Big Town
"I am so saddened by the news of George Jones' passing.I will always treasure our times together." Country artist Tracy Lawrence
"Sad to hear of the passing of the great George Jones, Soundtrack to much of my childhood. We'll lay a wreath upon his door. Rest in peace." Musician Clay Aiken
"The world may have lost the greatest country singer that ever lived." Country artist Merle Haggard
"Sad morning losing the great George Jones. He will always be one of the most amazing singers who ever lived." Singer Kenny Rogers
"My heart is absolutely broken. George Jones was my all time favorite singer." Country artist Dolly Parton
"I'm stunned and deeply saddened to learn of the passing of my good friend George Jones. The very definition of a legend. Thoughts and prayers." Country artist Billy Ray Cyrus

Underrated: "They Might Not Have Sold 15 Million Records But They Have An Imprint In This Music"
Tuesday, Jun 4, 2013 5:15AM
[Each week, SOHH asks two entertainment personalities to name who they feel is the most underrated emcee in hip-hop. After 50 Cent's cousin Continental Five gave himself the title last week, 112's Slim crowns Common SOHH Underrated.]
I really have to think about this. You want to know who I think is just raw? He probably has experienced mainstream success or whatever, but I just think Common's raw after all these years.
You have artists like Common who, yes he's done movies, but the aspect of hip-hop is a lot of artists are poetic. They do poems and all of that and so when I listen to something I like, it's a cat that actually makes sense.
When I can listen to an artist that's able to make all different styles of music and hear something that's positive, that's what I listen to. Common can uplift women, he can tell you about his hood, he can tell you the good, bad and ugly and then tell you if there's a problem, there's a solution.
He can talk about religion. He can talk about what's going on in the world. At the same time, if it's time to battle, you shimmer and fear to even deal with him.
At those types of situations, I look at someone like Common or Nas. I love artists like that. Complete artists. Somebody like Common and Nas, where they might not have sold 10 or 15 million records but they have an imprint and legacy in this music that people definitely look up to.
I really have to put Common and Nas in there, I'm a really big Nas fan.
After 112 released their fifth album, Pleasure & Pain in 2005, Slim started making solo music. In 2008, he released the single "So Fly", featuring Yung Joc. His debut album, Love's Crazy, was released on November 18, 2008. He is currently the CEO of his own label, M3 Productions and recently released his new Cruisin' Da City, Pt. 1 mixtape.
Check out Common's music below:

Section 34
Statistics for metropolitan areas (MAs) shown in the Statistical Abstract represent areas defined by the U.S. Office of Management and Budget (OMB) according to published standards that are applied to Census Bureau data. The general concept of an MA is that of a core area containing a large population nucleus, together with adjacent communities having a high degree of economic and social integration with that core. Currently defined MAs are based on application of 1990 standards (which appeared in the Federal Register on March 30, 1990) to 1990 decennial census data and to subsequent Census Bureau population estimates and special census data. Current MA definitions were announced by OMB effective June 30, 1999. MAs include metropolitan statistical areas (MSAs), consolidated metropolitan statistical areas (CMSAs), and primary metropolitan statistical areas (PMSAs).
In this appendix, Table E presents geographic components and 1999 population estimates for each MSA, CMSA, and PMSA outside of New England. Table D presents definitions and data for New England county metropolitan areas (NECMAs), the county-based alternative metropolitan areas for the city- and town-based MSAs and CMSAs of the six New England states.
Standard definitions of metropolitan areas were first issued in 1949 by the then Bureauof the Budget (predecessor of OMB), under the designation ''standard metropolitan area'' (SMA). The term was changed to ''standard metropolitan statistical area'' (SMSA) in 1959 and to ''metropolitan statistical area'' (MSA) in 1983. The collective term ''metropolitan area'' (MA) became effective in 1990.
OMB has been responsible for the official metropolitan areas since they were first defined, except for the period 1977 to 1981, when they were the responsibility of the Office of Federal Statistical Policy and Standards, Department of Commerce. The standards for defining metropolitan areas were modified in 1958, 1971, 1975, 1980, and 1990.
Defining MSAs, CMSAs, and PMSA-The current standards provide that each newly qualifying MSA must include at least: one city with 50,000 or more inhabitants, or a Census Bureau-defined urbanized area (of at least 50,000 inhabitants) and a total metropolitan population of at least 100,000 (75,000 in New England). Under the standards, the county (or counties) that contains the largest city becomes the ''central county'' (counties), along with any adjacent counties that have at least 50 percent of their population in the urbanized area surrounding the largest city. Additional ''outlying counties'' are included in the MSA if they meet specified requirements of commuting to the central counties and other selected requirements of metropolitan character (such as population density and percent urban). In New England, the MSAs are defined in terms of cities and towns rather than counties. An area that meets these requirements for recognition as an MSA and also has a population of 1 million or more may be recognized as a CMSA if separate component areas can be identified within the entire area by meeting statistical criteria specified in the standards, and local opinion indicates there is support for the component areas. If recognized, the component areas are designated PMSAs, and the entire area becomes a CMSA. PMSAs, like the CMSAs that contain them, are composed of entire counties, except in New England where they are composed of cities and towns. If no PMSAs are recognized, the entire area is designated as an MSA. As of the June 30, 1999, OMB announcement, there were 258 MSAs, and 18 CMSAs comprising 73 PMSAs in the United States. In addition, there were three MSAs, one CMSA, and three PMSAs in Puerto Rico.
Central cities and MA titles-The largestcity in each MSA/CMSA is designated a ''central city.'' Additional cities qualify if specified requirements are met concerning population size and commuting patterns. The title of each MSA consists of the names of up to three of its central cities and the name of each state into which the MSA extends. However, a central city with less than 250,000 population and less than one-third the population of the area's largest city is not included in an MSA title unless local opinion supports its inclusion. Titles of PMSAs also typically are based on central city names, but in certain cases consist of county names. Generally, titles of CMSAs are based on the titles of their component PMSAs.
Defining New England County Metropolitan Areas NECMAs-The OMB defines NECMAs as a county-based alternative to the city- and town-based New England MSAs and CMSAs. The NECMA for an MSA or CMSA includes: the county containing the first-named city in that MSA/CMSA title (this county may include the first-named cities of other MSAs/CMSAs as well), and each additional county having at least half its population in the MSAs/CMSAs whose first-named cities are in the previously identified county. NECMAs are not identified for individual PMSAs. There are 12 NECMAs, including 1 for the Boston-Worcester- Lawrence, MA-NH-ME-CT CMSA and 1 for the Connecticut portion of the New York- Northern New Jersey-Long Island, NY-NJCT- PA CMSA. Central cities of a NECMA are those cities in the NECMA that qualify as central cities of an MSA or a CMSA. NECMA titles derive from names of central cities.
Changes in MA definitions over time-Changes in the definitions of MAs since the 1950 census have consisted chiefly of the recognition of new areas as they reached the minimum required city or area population, and the addition of counties (or cities and towns in New England) to existing areas as new decennial census data showed them to qualify. In some instances, formerly separate MAs have been merged, components of an MA have been transferred from one MA to another, components have been dropped from an MA. The large majority of changes have taken place on the basis of decennial census data. However, Census Bureau population estimates and special censuses serve as the basis for intercensal updates.
Because of these historical changes in geographic definitions, users must be cautious in comparing MA data from different dates. For some purposes, comparisons of data for MAs as defined at given dates may be appropriate; for other purposes, it may be preferable to maintain consistent MA definitions.
In Tables A, B, and C below, data are given for MAs as defined for specific dates, thereby indicating the extent of change in population and land area resulting from revisions in definitions.
